I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals - Chapter 135

  Chapter 135 Attack of the beast tide

   “You will know later.”

  Lu Changan took him to Xiaodan Peak without explaining.

  Ye Fei looked at the quiet and indifferent figure in white clothes, suppressing his curiosity.

  He had an intuition that the rumored elderly foundation-building monk should have some deep meaning in choosing him.

  Xiaodan Peak is the highest main peak of Wuqi Mountain.

  Ye Fei changed his lazy face and carefully inspected every plant and tree on the mountain.

  He stretched his eyebrows, took a deep breath of the cool air on the top of the mountain, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

   “The environment is good.”

  The former owner of Xiaodan Peak was a second-rank top-rank alchemist, and the preserved garden architecture and layout met his needs.

  Ye Fei immediately paid a deposit for the spirit stone and signed the spirit contract.

  The official co-rental contract will be signed under the witness of Jin Yungu monk after Shi Manrong returns.

  On the top of the mountain, the two chatted for a while.

  Lu Changan has a better understanding of Ye Fei’s situation.

  Ye Fei is dozens of years younger than Lu Changan. He has an outstanding talent in medicine since he was a child.

   After avenging his parents, Ye Fei has been wandering in various cities and fairy cities for decades, mainly working in pharmacies and accepting employment from chambers of commerce.

  In recent years, he had little savings and wanted to find a stable and independent practice center. Wuqi Mountain is a good choice, with a good location, an acceptable price for sharing, and you can also earn spirit stones.

  As a pharmacist, Ye Fei can also make alchemy, but his attainment is not as special as that of an alchemist of the same level.

  However, he is also good at healing diseases, wounds, detoxification, etc.

  Ability is relatively comprehensive.

   “Ye Daoyou, the ‘Kong Mao’ refiner who competed with you earlier. Are you familiar with this person?”

  Lu Changan thought of the black-bearded old man who had previously hidden his cultivation.

   “Fellow Taoist Kong Mao? Ye has only a casual acquaintance with him and doesn’t know much about him.”

“Young Daoist Kong originally came from the northern land of Liang State, a city within the Liuyun Sect’s sphere of influence. More than ten years ago, the city where Kong Daoyou was located was attacked by robbers and fell apart. He lost his foothold and came to Huanglong Fairy City. Nian is diligent and diligent, and is a low-key monk.”

“oh.”

  Lu Changan nodded, without further questioning.

  Before, the basic information he got was that Kong Mao came from the vicinity of Huanglong Fairy City, and it turned out that he came from Fangshi on the north side of the Black Mist Mountains earlier.

   “Fellow Daoist Lu, I have to go back to pack up and purchase some resources.”

  Ye Fei stayed for half an hour, then got up to say goodbye.

  …

  Lu Changan returned to Xiaogui Peak, lost in thought.

   “Kong Mao’s origin can be traced, and there is no obvious flaw. But this person appears to be in the early stage of foundation establishment, but his real cultivation is in the late stage of foundation establishment.”

  The ultra-thin mask worn by Kong Mao is a disguised treasure, and its identity is likely to be replaced.

  Lu Changan had previously integrated his mind and mind into the second world of Jiuyinbei, and his spiritual sense and senses had increased, which was comparable to that of a real person who formed an alchemy. Only then did he notice the clues.

  At that time, he did not try to break through the masked treasure, otherwise he would be noticed by the other party.

  In any case, “Kong Mao” came to Wuqi Mountain to compete for the peak leader, and he must have no good intentions.

  Although he did not become the peak owner, he also came in to find out the truth.

   To Lu Changan, as long as the other party fails to sneak in, there is no real threat.

  Xiaoguifeng has a double protection array.

  Lu Changan has a mid-stage cultivation base, a second-level senior talisman master, and has a second-level mid-stage spiritual pet.

  Just being an obvious means, it is not in the late stage of foundation building, and even has a chance of winning.

   Alert must be indispensable.

  Lu Changan will increase the activation strength of the formations of Xiaoguifeng and Dongfu in the future, and the consumption of spirit stones will increase accordingly.

  At the same time, Guan Qiaozhi was instructed not to leave Wuqi Mountain unless necessary. If there is anything to do, you can order the casual cultivators who are attached to the main peak to do it.

  …

   One month later.

  Shi Manrong returned to Mount Wuqi to help Ye Fei, who had officially settled in, set up a formation to protect the mountain.

  When the formation was being set up, Lu Changan watched from a distance, and felt that Shi Manrong’s formation skills had improved significantly in the past few years, and his cultivation base was also steadily improving.

   This may have something to do with joining Huanglongshan.

  After the formation was set up, Lu Changan asked Shi Manrong to discuss matters.

   “Fairy Master, if the scale of the beast swarm is large, it is inevitable that some fish that slip through the net will break through the front line and bring impact to the surrounding areas. At that time, there may be young people who fish in troubled waters.”

   “Lu Mou suggested that the deployment of security formations should be strengthened in Wuqi Mountain.”

  The cost of the security formation is not high, and it mainly depends on the attainments of the formation master.

  Shi Man thought for a while and agreed to Lu Changan’s proposal.

  Although Fairy Shi is not currently living in Wuqi Mountain, there are spiritual assets that have been cultivated with painstaking efforts for decades on Xiaopan Peak, and there are still maids and servants taking care of them.

  Furthermore, her cooperation with Huang Longshan is only temporary, the future is uncertain, and a way out must be reserved.

   In the next few days, Shi Xianzi arranged some hidden security formations in Wuqi Mountain.

  The cost of laying out the array will be borne by the three peak masters. Regarding his own safety, the newcomer Ye Fei did not object.

   Another few months passed.

  Golden Cloud Valley’s Foundation Establishment Deacon arrived at Wuqi Mountain, and the three peak masters re-signed the co-rental contract.

   After finishing these, Shi Manrong immediately returned to Huanglong Fairy City.

  Lu Changan had a feeling that Huanglongshan paid a lot of money to recruit Man Rong, not just to deal with the beast tide.

  …

   One year later, Lu Changan turned 106 years old.

   On this day, he completed his daily practice and treasure talisman warming.

   Walk out of the cave.

  As usual, he looked north.

   Faintly sensed the invisible evil wind, venting from the ancient mountains in the north.

   “Here we come.” Lu Changan murmured.

  In the past six months, he has been looking at the north, and judged the general stage of the beast tide through the superficial method of gazing in his previous life.

  Wuqi Mountain is not like Huanglong Immortal City, it is located on the front line of the beast tide.

  Its geographical location is some distance away from the Black Mist Mountains, so it is relatively safe.

   Even so, Lu Changan remained concerned and vigilant.

  Ten days later, news from the front reached Wu Qishan.

   “Brother Lu, a wave of beasts broke out in the Black Mist Mountains. Huanglong Fairy City and the nearby cultivating forces were attacked by a group of monsters.”

  Guan Qiaozhi came to report, with a dignified and urgent expression.

   “Well, it won’t affect our side for the time being.”

  The old God Lu Changan is here.

  The nature of the beast tide is that there are so many types of monsters, and their reproductive power is too strong for the Black Mist Mountains to bear. The high-level monsters drive out some low-level monster groups from the inside out.

   The driven monsters have an instinctive need for spiritual practice, and they will give priority to attacking the spiritual veins of the human territory.

   During the beast tide, high-level monsters will secretly control them, trying to take the opportunity to expand their territory.

  Tens of thousands of years ago, when the monster clan was powerful, most of the land of Liang Kingdom fell and became the domain of monsters.

   Immortal cultivators are also the targets of monsters.

  The flesh and blood of ordinary mortals is not very attractive to monsters, and the taste is also average.

  But the flesh and blood of immortal cultivators nourished by aura is a rare tonic for monsters, like a torch in the dark.

  …

  The first month when the beast tide broke out.

  The major cultivating forces adjacent to the Black Mist Mountains were attacked by a wave of monsters.

  The first to bear the brunt are forces such as Huanglong Xiancheng and Yushou Zhou’s family. Their prosperity has already relied on the treasure land of the Black Mist Mountains, and they have experience in dealing with it.

  These frontline forces are not fighting alone. Xiuxian Zongmen issued a task, calling on disciples to go to the front line to hunt monsters.

   There are also monster hunting monks who want to make a fortune from monster materials, and they rushed to the front line.

  In addition to defending the city and hunting monsters, cultivators of all arts can provide logistics supplies in exchange for more rewards than usual.

  The area around Wuqi Mountain is still calm.

  Lu Changan clearly noticed that more monks came to buy talismans.

   Even the first-order puppets have become bestsellers.

  Ye Fei’s Xiaodanfeng has just started, and the business is also good.

   “Qiaozhi, starting tomorrow, the price of all talismans and puppets will increase by 20 to 30 percent.”

  Lu Changan handed a jade tube to Guan Qiaozhi.

  In this special period, the supply volume is larger and will not attract attention.

  The signs of the beast tide appeared several years ago.

   It is common for far-sighted craftsmen to stock up some “battle supplies” in advance.

  Lu Changan’s price increase is relatively conscientious.

  Although he didn’t go to the front line to fight, but he provided war supplies in the back, which can be regarded as a contribution to the civilization of the human race.

  …

   Another two months passed.

   News came from the front line that the scale of the beast horde was extraordinary. There was already a square city and two cultivating families in the foundation stage, which were broken by the beast horde.

   The prices of talismans, elixir, and magical instruments on the market are still rising.

  Lu Changan had a stock of first-tier middle and lower-grade talismans, which increased consumption.

   Fortunately, he has enough stock in his hand.

   Talisman materials were previously purchased in Huanglong Fairy City.

  However, according to this trend, the talisman materials will not last long.

   Lu Changan is not worried about this.

  He believed that before long, there would be a large amount of material flowing from the front.

   Moreover, Wuqi Mountain’s geographical location makes it more convenient to go to Huanglong Xiancheng and other front-line stations to purchase.

   This day.

  Guan Qiaozhi, who was outside the cave mansion, let out a cry, with a panicked expression.

  Over Wuqi Mountain, a demonic wind swept across.

  The shadows of a few monster birds hovered among the clouds, staring at the land of spiritual veins below.

  The leading black demon bird spreads its wings five or six feet. It is an early stage monster bird of the second order, and the other three are late stage ones.

   “Don’t panic. It’s just a normal fish that slipped through the net. It’s easier for monster birds to escape the front line and enter the interior of Liang State.”

  Lu Changan restrained his mana breath and told the rock rat not to show his face.

  The beast tide hits for two or three months.

  They just saw the shadow of the monster in the spiritual vein land behind them.

  …

   When monsters and birds attacked, Xiaodan Peak and Xiaopan Peak, which were several miles away, activated the defense formation.

  Lu Changan was about to collect some talisman materials, but he didn’t have a full-scale formation. Xiaoguifeng’s killing formation and defensive formation are only half-hidden.

  Suddenly, the evil wind blew up, and the sharp neighing sound came from far and near.

   The second-order black monster bird headed by it, with sharp eyes, stared at the Xuanshui turtle by the lotus pond.

  Four birds rushed towards Xiaoguifeng.

  The Xuanshui Turtle trembled, and looked eagerly at Lu Changan at the entrance of the cave, who ordered it to stay where it was.

  Plop!

  The mysterious water turtle sank into the water, only revealing its huge shell.

  The leader of the second-order black bird reached the top of the mountain, his eyes showed vigilance, and his body stopped suddenly.

  Wow!

  A large wave of water condensed around the top of the mountain, and at the same time, an illusory blue moon was suspended in the sky.

   Centered on the illusory blue moon, the dark blue water curtain covers the top of Xiaoguifeng and the cave, isolating it from the outside world.

  This is the second-order mid-grade fantasy killing formation that Shi Manrong deployed on Xiaoguifeng, named “Phantom Moon Water Brake Formation”.

  boo~

  In the formation, a blue ripple emitting black light, like a twisted net, passed by several demon birds.

  Three monster birds at the late stage of the first order froze in mid-air, and their **** corpses fell down.
