Chapter 178 Maybe It’s Fate

One month later.

Lu Changan, who had returned to Xiaogui Peak, learned from the outside world that the second batch of cultivators from Liangguo Sect was going to the expedition.

The number of cultivators recruited this time was more than the first batch.

Among the additional people, there were more cultivators of the middle and lower levels.

"Has the Mu family of Feiyue Lake also received the call from the sect?"

Lu Changan looked at a letter sent by Mu Bingyun in his hand.

Because it was an expedition to another country, the war situation was not critical, and Liangguo Sect did not make mandatory requirements for those small and medium-sized immortal families.

However, the rewards and pensions given made many family cultivators excited.

The sect opened up a lot of rare materials, including some strategic resources, to the family cultivators who accepted the call.

As long as the military merits were high, the rank-breaking pills, foundation-building pills, advanced skills, skills inheritance, magic weapons... these could be exchanged.

Among them, the most valuable exchange item was the crystal-condensing pill.

If the cultivators who accepted the call died on the battlefield, they could receive generous pensions, so that their families could receive compensation for their military merits.

There must be brave men under a big reward. Some family cultivators who are frustrated or paving the way for future generations will inevitably be tempted.

According to Mu Bingyun, there are several Qi-refining cultivators in the Mu family who responded to the call and participated in the Liang Kingdom sect expedition.

"That is, the invasion war, to make the cake bigger, there is such an opportunity."

Lu Changan couldn't help but recall Da Kun in his previous life. The Xiuxian country where he was was once invaded by the magic sect.

At that time, all the Xiuxian families, according to their size, were forced by the sect to dispatch a certain number of cultivators with corresponding cultivation to participate in resisting the invasion of the magic sect.

Mu Bingyun expressed her gratitude at the end of the letter.

With the help of Master Manrong, the family protection formation of Feiyue Lake was successfully laid.

The family's defense ability was greatly improved.

...

"As long as the war does not burn to Liang, everything will be fine."

Lu Changan took back the letter, calm and calm.

However, the Xiuxian war is ever-changing, and the game between Xiuxian countries is beyond the control of Jindan cultivators.

Since Liang State chose to intervene in the war, it has actively fallen into the storm. It is not ruled out that it will suffer backlash in the future and the war will spread to the territory.

Lu Changan has made the worst plan.

If an extreme situation occurs and the war affects his personal practice, he will either hide in the mountains or leave Liang State's cultivation world.

Hiding in the mountains can only avoid small wars and short-term wars.

Because cultivation is inseparable from the spiritual veins and Taoist temples.

As for leaving Liang State and going to other cultivation countries, there are still considerable risks for foundation-building cultivators.

Because the journey is long, there are some dangers, including natural dangers.

The chaos in the uninhabited areas of the border may face more powerful robbers and wanted criminals.

For example, the remnants of the Demon Cult and some extremely vicious transnational wanted criminals occasionally appear on the border of the cultivation country.

Normally, it takes a fake Dan Zhenren to go to neighboring countries safely and stably.

Lu Changan currently has the trump card to threaten and kill the fake Dan Zhenren; the minimum standard he set for himself is that he must be at least a great cultivator of the same level in the late stage of foundation building before he can consider the option of leaving Liang State.

…

Three months later.

It was a dark and windy night.

Lu Changan quietly sneaked out of Wuqi Mountain.

After traveling hundreds of miles on the ground, he turned into an ordinary young man in foundation building.

Squeak!

The rock rat cast a spell, holding a large sack in its mouth, and boarded a flying boat with a canopy.

The rock rat dragged the large sack into the open canopy.

Lu Changan set up restrictions on the flying boat and laid out a formation to isolate the outside world from the detection of spiritual consciousness.

It has been half a year since the battle with the "Night Fisherman" that night.

Senior Brother Zhuo was abolished and imprisoned underground. He could not seek death and relied on the Bigu Pill to maintain his life.

Now, Lu Changan does not intend to support this person and is ready to give him a quick death.

The flying boat maintains normal speed and flies to the northwest.

On the way, he passed by the Huanglong Immortal City.

Lu Changan did not stay in the Immortal City, and tried to avoid areas with many cultivators.

More than half a month later.

The ordinary foundation-building youth transformed by Lu Changan was close to the "Chishui Market".

This is a water immortal market, which is much larger than the Zhuye Mountain Market and slightly larger than the Wufeng Mountain Market.

The controller of this market is the Mo family, one of the seven great families.

The Mo family lost a newly promoted True Dan cultivator in the Huanglong Mountain War that year.

Today, the family still has a fake Dan Zhenren, and the foundation is still there.

In recent years, the Mo family has kept a low profile and sought stability, sticking to its own power, trying to cultivate new Jindan cultivators, even if they are fake Dan.

The security environment around Chishui Market can only be said to be average, which is better than the chaos in Zhuye Mountain.

The reason why Lu Changan came here was because he asked Brother Zhuo about the information that the other party originally planned to come to the "Chishui Market" to recuperate and keep a low profile for a few years.

Chishuifang City has a second-level high-quality spiritual vein, and there are corresponding caves for rent.

…

Half a day later.

Lu Changan changed his identity for the second time, turning into a short-bearded young man, and his cultivation level was revealed to be in the early stage of foundation building.

The flying boat he took with this identity was very expensive, and he took a tour around the "Chishuifang City".

Soon, Lu Changan took action to kill a robbery cultivator who had briefly stared at him.

"No! Late stage of foundation building——"

The robbery cultivator, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, was approached quickly by Lu Changan, attacked with thunder, and killed with a powerful top-grade magic weapon before he could figure out the situation.

That top-grade magic weapon was the black long pole that Senior Brother Zhuo had used before. It was recognizable and was the best among the same level.

When killing this man, Lu Changan pretended to be a late-stage foundation builder.

The magical weapon and cultivation level are all suitable for Senior Brother Zhuo's identity.

There is a difference in appearance and image, which is normal.

During this time, only a few monks nearby saw it, and it didn't appear to be deliberate or conspicuous.

Before evening that day.

With this identity, Lu Changan's cultivation was hidden in the early stages of foundation building, and he entered "Chishuifang City" and settled in an inn.

As for the Ground Rock Rat, he hid Senior Brother Zhuo in an underground cave hundreds of miles away from Fang City.

…

Then half a month.

This young man with a short beard and a second disguise purchased some resources in Chishuifang City in a low-key manner.

After being introduced by a shopkeeper, Lu Changan attended a private trading meeting for foundation-building monks a few days later.

This trade fair of foundation-building monks was held in the mansion in Fangshi. Its owner was a late-stage foundation-building monk and had a close relationship with the Mo family.

Lu Changan's original intention was to show his face a little and leave traces of his existence in the circle of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Um?"

Lu Changan noticed a vague fluctuation of spiritual consciousness, which even an ordinary late-stage foundation-building monk could hardly detect.

The fluctuation of spiritual consciousness is very restrained, and he will not carefully probe a certain monk to avoid being discovered by the organizer of the late-stage foundation building monk.

Lu Changan always felt that this vague spiritual consciousness had a feeling of déjà vu.

"Cang Yuehua, a rare second-level spiritual flower, has the effect of nourishing the skin and nourishing yin. It can be used as an important ingredient in the Miao Ling Dan and Zhu Yan Dan..."

During the trade fair, a man in a bronze mask who was in the middle stage of foundation building was selling materials that attracted Lu Changan's attention.

"Cang Yuehua? The only ingredient for my Zhuyan Pill is this auxiliary medicine."

Lu Changan thought for a while and decided to take this object.

Cang Yuehua itself has the effect of nourishing skin and nourishing yin.

Senior Brother Zhuo is not restrained when it comes to women and often has concubines. Buying this thing is more suitable for Lu Changan's identity.

Because there was no competition, Lu Changan successfully won Cang Yuehua at the market price.

In this way, after thirty years, all the materials for Zhuyan Dan were gathered.

The most rare thing about Zhuyan Dan is the main ingredient. Lu Changan got the key ingredient by killing "Master Hua".

The reason why it took so long to gather them all was because Lu Changan didn't bother to collect them too much.

It's just a casual purchase every time I go to Fairy City to collect other materials.

…

The trade fair was over, and Lu Changan walked out of the mansion in Fang City.

Next, he is going to find a place to let Senior Brother Zhuo die in the near future.

As long as the place and time of death do not match the night of Wu Qishan, it is enough.

As for those who take the blame, sometimes you don’t have to force yourself, otherwise it’s easy to make many mistakes.

"here we go again?"

After leaving this private mansion, Lu Changan felt the obscure consciousness lingering on his body and carefully explored it.

"The divine consciousness of Master Fake Dan is actually him?"

At this time, Lu Changan finally confirmed that the owner of the spiritual consciousness was a fake elixir master he knew well.

The fake elixir master had hidden his cultivation and was hiding in the trade fair in the foundation building period. Lu Changan probably understood the other party's intention.

This should be picking fat sheep.

A mature and experienced robbery cultivator must pay attention to efficiency and control risks.

After the consciousness of the fake elixir master came to rest on Lu Changan, he gave up hesitantly.

Finally, this spiritual consciousness locked onto a fat middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, carrying a gray box on his back.

This person is suspected to be a traveling merchant, a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. Although he did not sell high-value items at the trade fair, his trading volume was higher than that of ordinary monks, and he bought them at low prices.

A thin, yellow-faced old man stood a few miles away, staring at the fat traveling merchant from a distance, without the latter noticing.

Lu Changan sat down by the window of a wine shop in Fang City.

His mind merged into the Nine Seal Monument, and he used his powerful spiritual consciousness to see this scene in his eyes.

"He actually appeared in the Mo family's market?"

"Well, you can't stay in the Huanglong Immortal City where the enemy is powerful. After all, the Mo family and Huanglong Mountain are in a hostile relationship. There are medium and large-scale markets here, there are many wealthy foundation-building monks, and the surrounding area is relatively chaotic, making it suitable for fishing in troubled waters."

Lu Changan knew that this fake elixir master was relatively poor among his peers and his strength was not outstanding.

"Maybe it's fate, it's you."

Lu Changan smiled slightly and decided to adjust his plan slightly.
