I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals - Chapter 142

  Chapter 142 The Decline of the Immortal City

   “What chance does Ms. Zhou have, will she think of someone Lu?”

   Lu Changan said in an unhurried manner.

   This meeting, I wonder if it is due to time constraints, this woman calls her by her first name, no longer the “Brother Lu” of previous years.

   “Lu Chang’an, didn’t you say that you were good at healing, and that you were able to grow up healthy and healthy black water turtles?”

  Zhou Qingxuan turned her pretty eyes and cast her eyes on the black water turtle by the lotus pond.

  Sensed the gaze of the beast master in the late foundation establishment period.

  The mysterious water turtle shrank its head in instinctive fear, and got into the pool.

   “Lu Mou’s wood-based kung fu method is acceptable in terms of treatment. However, the ability to hatch the Xuanshui turtle in a healthy way back then also benefited from the treasures of heaven and earth obtained by chance.”

  Lu Changan spoke imperceptibly.

  For decades, he remembers that set of rhetoric clearly, and will not be bypassed by this woman.

   “There is no need to explain that much.”

  Zhou Qingxuan showed a bright smile and got straight to the point:

   “The earth dragon beast under the seat of Daoist Huanglong is seriously injured and dying, relying on the secret medicine to barely hold his breath.”

   “Huanglongshan is looking for capable animal trainers, pharmacists, and strange people, hoping to save the earth dragon beast.”

   “Any monk, as long as he can save the life of the earth dragon beast, Huanglong Daoist will give him a heavy reward, including strategic resources such as ‘condensing crystal pill’, pill-forming spiritual objects, etc. He also promises to do one thing for the other party within his ability.”

  Knowing the reason of the incident, Lu Changan showed surprise at the right time, and his face was thoughtful.

  Realist Huanglong and Earth Dragon Beast have a deep relationship.

  The two have been together for hundreds of years, rising from the humble beginnings, living and dying together, and loving each other.

  This earth-grade spiritual pet is, to some extent, the close relative of Master Huanglong.

   Even the direct disciples, including Fu Xuemei, can’t compare to the status of the Earth Dragon Beast in their hearts.

   “Crystal Congealing Pill, Pill Forming Spiritual Object…”

  Lu Changan secretly regretted it, and it was inevitable that his heart would be moved.

   Crystal Condensation Pill, which can increase the chance of forming a pill, is the dream of countless foundation-building monks.

   Throughout Daqing, Ningjing Pill is an extremely precious strategic resource.

  In his last life, he had a higher starting point, a high-grade spiritual root, a good chance, and it took a lot of hard work to successfully form the alchemy.

  In this life, the wood spirit root is a low-grade spirit root. Even with the bonus of Evergreen Kung Fu, if there is no external opportunity, the chance of forming a pill is not optimistic.

   “Miss Zhou, when it comes to third-order spirit beasts, Lu is really helpless.”

   Lu Changan shook his head and said.

  He has an intuition that if the Evergreen Secret Technique consumes life energy, there is a high probability that it will be effective.

  However, how could Lu Changan expose such secret methods in front of the real people in Huanglong Mountain.

  He has not yet reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and if he gets the alchemy in advance, it will cause trouble instead, so he can only rely on Huanglong Mountain for protection.

  He didn’t have a good impression of Huanglong Mountain.

  The enemy who blocked the way, “Fu Xuemei”, is the successor Huang Longshan wants to cultivate.

  This woman cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment a few years ago, and she was dragged down by her younger brother.

  Fu Xuemei promised to her teacher that her help for her younger brother is limited to the foundation building period.

   Facing the Great Dao of Formation, Dilingen geniuses must go all out.

   “You don’t have to go, don’t mention this matter to others for the time being.”

  Zhou Qingxuan felt a little regretful, but did not force herself.

  The specific injury situation of the earth dragon beast is currently only known to some upper-level monks in Liang Guo.

  The Zhou family was invited by Huanglong Mountain because they were good at controlling beasts.

   “Miss Zhou, don’t worry, Lu will not speak out.”

  Looking at the back of this woman soaring into the sky, Lu Changan felt a little strange.

  Earth Dragon Beast’s injury, even Daoist Jiedan was helpless.

  He is a foundation-building cultivator, even if he is good at healing injuries, this woman will not expect anything from herself.

  In this world, one and a half people are known to know the secret of Changqing Gong.

  One is “Tianshu Taoist”, a strange person from the universe, and the other half is Mu Xiuyun.

  As for Mu Bingyun, most people think that he has a strange secret technique. It took more than ten years to restore the foundation of this woman, so it would not be too abrupt.

   “However, there is one more variable…”

  Lu Changan thought of Baisu Soul Gu’s prying eyes when he met Chen Fuhai.

  Hundred Suspension Soul Gu can host various races, and its knowledge and cognition are far beyond ordinary people.

  He closed his eyes, and his mind and consciousness merged into the second world of Jiuyinbei.

  The small functions currently being explored by the Jiuyin Monument are divided into two types: active and passive.

  Active: The shadow of the soul comes, consumes the soul brand that has been lit for many years, and can be used in battle.

  Passive: The mind and consciousness enter the Jiuyin Monument, merge with a certain life, only get the blessing of the senses and senses, and consume the energy to light up.

   The second type cannot be applied to combat, and it means sharing their soul perception.

  If one returns to the peak of the previous life, or is promoted to the Nascent Soul, the use of abilities in these two lives is of little significance.

   Shua!

  After Zhou Qingxuan flew several miles away, Lu Changan’s real-life divine sense came over secretly.

  Until you see the sea of ​​consciousness.

  Zhou Qingxuan’s sea of ​​consciousness is normal.

  Because of his beast-monitoring talent, there is a trace of purple and strange light, which is slightly different from ordinary monks.

  Lu Changan did not enter the Sea of ​​Consciousness to investigate, otherwise he would be noticed.

  Withdrawing his consciousness, Lu Changan couldn’t make a conclusion.

  If Baisu Soul Gu lurks deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, it cannot be observed on the surface.

  Unless it is so powerful that it can see through the sea of ​​consciousness in the late foundation establishment stage at a glance.

  Back then, he was able to discover the Baisu Soul Gu on Chen Fuhai’s body, because this Gu had surfaced on the surface of the Sea of ​​Consciousness and spied on him before it had time to lurk.

  Zhou Qingxuan stood on the second-level monster bird and flew out of Wuqi Mountain.

   “Can’t even the alchemy be moved?”

   “Even if you are a practitioner of Evergreen Kung Fu, your lifespan will eventually be limited, and you have to fight for key resources.”

  Zhou Qingxuan’s pretty eyes flickered.

   “During the qi refining period, this person’s qi and blood were pure, youthful and long-lived. After the foundation was established, his aura was dark and dark, but he couldn’t see it clearly. It cannot be ruled out that it is other top-level wood-type exercises.”

   “No more testing! Even if this person has nothing to do with Yan Donglai, he still has a lot of background.”

   “The dormancy is deep this time. I shouldn’t reveal my identity…”

  …

   After a few months.

  Lu Changan turned 107 years old, four or five years had passed since he was promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

  He estimated that it would take about seven years to build the fifth floor.

  It is “Cloud Sand Body Refining Jue”, which faintly touches the sixth floor.

  The inheritance of this body training formula can be cultivated up to the seventh level, or six and a half levels, which corresponds to the level of fake pills.

   Before forming a pill, it is enough.

  This body training inheritance is not too high in grade, and the advantage lies in its simple training method.

  As long as there is enough time to practice.

  Enough financial resources to buy spirit sandstone.

   and a good body training talent, you can improve relatively smoothly.

   Lu Changan’s so-called talent for body training was actually obtained in exchange for the self-healing power of Evergreen Kung Fu.

  …

   This day.

  Shi Manrong came back from Huanglong Fairy City, and invited Lu Changan and Ye Fei, two peak masters, to visit his residence.

  In the cave of Xiaopan Peak.

   This time we meet, Master Xianzi has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, her face is radiant and charming.

   “The concubine will live in Wuqi Mountain when she comes back this time, and she hasn’t been with the two peak masters for a long time.”

  Fairy Master is dignified and graceful, with an elegant smile.

  Lu Changan saw the change in Fairy Shi’s mentality.

   During the two years before and after the beast tide, Fairy Shi gave him the feeling that he was urgent and busy.

   This time he was promoted to the late stage of foundation establishment, and his mood settled down.

   “Fairy Shi and Huang Longshan, do you still maintain cooperation?”

  Lu Changan asked.

   “The cooperation has ended, and the concubine has rejected their retention.”

  Fairy Master said lightly.

   Lu Changan was not surprised by this.

  After the beast horde is over and Huanglong’s real-life monster hunt fails, there is not that much demand for facing mages, and it is impossible to maintain the previous excessive treatment and provide some scarce resources.

  In the past two years, Fairy Shi seized the opportunity and got on the express train. No matter her cultivation level or formation skills, she had significantly improved.

  Lu Changan speculated: Fairy Shi in the later stage of foundation establishment may have reached the third level of formation.

   “Fairy Shi, I heard that Huanglong’s earth dragon beast was saved. Is this true?”

   Ye Fei said curiously.

   “It was indeed saved.”

  Shi Manrong was honored as a guest of honor in Huanglong Mountain before, and she knows more inside information, which belongs to the upper-level intelligence.

   “However, the cultivation of the earth dragon beast has dropped from the middle stage of the third level to the quasi-third level.”

   “Did your cultivation base drop?”

   Lu Changan received news from Zheng Centipede a month ago, only knowing that he was saved, but the specific details are not sure.

   “Which strange person healed the earth dragon beast?”

   “It’s the Beast Master Zhou family. The beast master wizard ‘Zhou Qingxuan’ of this family provided assistance and solutions.”

   Fairy Master replied.

   “The person who actually rescued him was actually Huang Long himself.”

   “I heard that in order to save the Earth Dragon Beast, Master Huanglong consumed the source of the true elixir and paid some unknown price.”

  Hearing this, Lu Changan had a high probability guess about the treatment method.

  The earth-type kung fu practiced by the real Huanglong is consistent with the attributes of the earth dragon beast.

  He consumes the source of his true elixir to perform some kind of secret technique, coupled with precious medicine, it may have an effect similar to the evergreen secret technique.

   “Consuming the true elixir source, the real person’s strength will be permanently reduced, and at the same time, the life span will be reduced!”

   It is equivalent to saying that strength and lifespan are both reduced.

  Lu Changan never expected that Master Huang Long would be willing to pay such a price for his spiritual pet.

  If it is said that Fu Xuemei is a helper demon.

  Then Master Huanglong is a pet-protecting madman.

  In terms of identity and strength, Master Huang Long is almost as different from his previous life.

  If it were him, he would have spent a little bit of life energy for his spiritual pet, but it was far from the level of real Huanglong.

  Ye Fei pondered: “Realist Huanglong should have deep intentions in doing this. This is a big game of chess!”

   “Oh? Brother Ye, what’s the point?”

  Lu Changan and Shi Manrong looked over.

   “First of all, if we keep the Earth Dragon Beast, we can maintain the prestigious title of ‘Huanglong Daoist’.”

  Ye Fei analyzed.

   Lu Changan and Lu Changan nodded without denying it.

  The Taoist name of Huanglong Daoist is closely related to the earth dragon beast that grew up with him.

   “The name of Master Huanglong is still there, enough to shock Xiaoxiao.”

   “And the lifespan of the earth dragon beast far exceeds that of the human race. When the real Huanglong passes away, the earth dragon beast can still guard the successor of Huanglong Mountain as a spiritual symbol in the future.”

   “Really Huanglong has far-reaching schemes!”

  Ye Fei’s eyes glowed, and he was filled with admiration.

  Hearing the subsequent remarks, Lu Changan’s face twitched.

  Those false names are far less influential than Huanglong’s real strength and lifespan.

  In the realm of cultivating immortals, strength is fundamental.

  Strong strength, long life is even more dreadful.

  The hostile forces in Huanglong Xiancheng don’t care about the superficial prestige.

   “What Daoyou Ye said makes sense in a certain way.”

  Shi Man said with a smile on his face.

   “However, half a month ago, a direct descendant of Huanglong Mountain died in robbery outside the city, and the news hasn’t spread yet.”

   “This… is really audacious!”

  Ye Fei was caught off guard, his face was slightly hot.

  The direct descendants of Huanglongshan were killed outside the fairy city. This was unimaginable at the peak of Huanglong Immortal City.

  According to the news obtained today, Lu Changan has confirmed more and more that the strength of Huanglong Immortal City has been greatly reduced and is continuing to decline.

  In the past few months, Huanglong Fairy City has sold many properties, and some foreign manpower has gradually been tightened.

  Huanglongshan will no longer make progress in the future, but try its best to keep the basic market.

  …

   Three days later.

  Little Guifeng, Guan Qiaozhi sent away a Qi Refining Ninth-Layer monk who bought a talisman.

   “Brother Lu, the number of people buying talismans has decreased a lot recently, and Wu Qishan is not as popular as before.”

  Guan Qiaozhi’s eyebrows were slightly worried.

  After the beast tide ended, the demand for talismans plummeted.

  There are too many monster materials circulating in the market.

  Ordinary first-order talisman, the price has fallen much lower than the normal market.

  Second-order talismans also fell back to the normal price, without the high premium during the beast tide.

   Fortunately, Lu Changan has always followed the high-end route.

  During the beast tide, taking advantage of the low price of materials, they drew and hoarded a batch of second-order talismans.

  At the same time, some first-grade middle-to-high-grade materials at ultra-low prices were also purchased.

  Even if they sell it now, Lu Changan can make a lot of money.

  However, Lu Changan is rich, with over 20,000 spirit stone reserves, so he is not in a hurry to sell.

  The world of cultivating immortals is changing, with ups and downs.

  Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and I believe he can wait until the market rebounds one day.

   “During the beast tide, we earned a lot of spirit stones. Now, you can just relax for a while.”

   Lu Changan comforted him.

  He draws and makes talismans, Guan Qiaozhi handles the materials, and can get a certain commission.

   “Brother Lu, it’s safe outside now, and the mountain is not so busy. Qiaozhi wants to go back to the secular world.”

  Guan Qiaozhi gritted her teeth slightly and made a well-thought-out decision.

   “When are you going to leave?”

  Regarding this matter, the two had already passed their temper, and Lu Changan was not surprised.

   “Tomorrow.” Guan Qiaozhi said solemnly.

  That night, Guan Qiaozhi took care of Lu Changan to take a bath.

  …

  The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

  Guan Qiaozhi brought in a girl in a blue skirt.

  Qi-refining four-level cultivation base, a little pretty, but not as good as Guan Qiaozhi when he was young.

“she is?”

  Lu Changan walked out of the cave and looked at the girl in blue skirt who was cramped and saluted.

   “Brother Lu, her name is Lan Rou, she is the descendant of sister Lan Lin’s tribe.”

  Guan Qiaozhi introduced with a smile.

   “I think she is well-behaved and obedient, and she has a little understanding of talismans. When my concubine is away, let her work as a maid on the mountain, doing sundries and receiving guests.”

   “The maid, Lan Rou, has met Senior Lu.”

  The girl in the blue skirt bowed and saluted, her eyes drooping

“Um.”

  Lu Changan used his spiritual sense to investigate and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this woman.

   His comfortable and leisurely life in Xiaoguifeng is partly due to the shrewd and capable maid.

   Not counting receiving guests, it is not easy to take care of such a huge mountain and cave.

  Normally five or six maids and servants.

   Xiaoguifeng only has one maid, because the rock rats are hardworking, the black water turtle is responsible for irrigation, and there are puppets for assistance.

  The main reason is that Lu Changan didn’t want people to distract him.

  In this case, it must be a capable maid.

   “Qiaozhi, you have never traveled alone, and the journey may not be smooth. This is my gift to you, including the body protection.”

  Before parting, Lu Changan handed Guan Qiaozhi a storage bag.

   “Thank you Brother Lu for taking care of me these years. Qiaozhi will come back in a few years.”

  Guan Qiaozhi’s eye circles were red, she tried her best to smile, and crow’s feet appeared at the corners of her eyes.

  She took one last look at this youthful and ageless man in white.

  Since I first met him in Huanglong Immortal City at the age of thirteen, to today, sixty years later, his appearance has barely changed.

  It is always so peaceful and indifferent, pleasing to the eye.

   “Take care on the road and keep a low profile.”

“I know.”

  Guan Qiaozhi flew in the air without looking back.

   “As long as Brother Lu is still in Xiaoguifeng, there is a place for you here.”

   Lu Changan watched her back and waved.

  After experiencing the reincarnation of cultivating immortals for two generations, he can calmly look directly at the late evening beauty and the evening scene of Sangyu.

  Guan Qiaozhi’s situation is different from Mu Xiuyun’s.

   After this trip, he can’t be sure whether he will return or not.

  No matter what decision Guan Qiaozhi makes, he respects the other party’s choice.

   – Today is an update, there are a lot of social gatherings at the end of the year, and the next daily update will be later. . After the sun has passed, the efficiency of code words is very low, and people are prone to sleepiness. Recently, the idea is a bit stuck, and it is a little slow.
