Chapter 194 Petrified Earth Dragon

After a brief heartbeat.

Lu Changan quickly calmed down and guessed Huang Long's intentions.

"Fu Xuemei's injuries are just out of danger, and her strength is only ten percent. It will probably take more than half a year to recover to her peak."

"Such a long period of weakness requires me to take care of her day and night to speed up her recovery with health-preserving skills."

"On the way to evacuate to neighboring countries, we have to share the risk of unknown pursuit. This is not a Taoist monk. He is simply a free doctor, bodyguard, and nanny."

Lu Changan couldn't help but admire that Master Huang Long had made a very precise calculation.

"Even after surviving this, when Fu Xuemei is out of danger and arrives in a neighboring country, and Fu Xuemei regains the full power of Master Jie Dan, how can I, as a foundation-building casual cultivator, have any autonomy? At that time, it will all depend on her conscience and she will be able to decide whether she is good or bad."

Thinking of this, Lu Changan gave up the idea completely.

Thinking about it, how can there be such delicious soft rice in this world?

Of course, while Huang Long was painting the pie, he might actually appreciate Lu Changan.

Fu Xuemei might not be so awesome in the future, and would truly treat him as a Taoist companion and share the legacy of Huanglong Mountain.

However, Lu Changan didn't need to gamble.

"The real person has good intentions, and this junior understands it."

Lu Changan sighed. He couldn't be too direct, so he had to come up with theories that could be verified in the past to reject:

"The world of cultivating immortals is changing rapidly, and it is only during the foundation-building period that we can stand firm. Without the magic weapon and magical power of Master Jie Dan, we cannot withstand strong winds and waves. This junior can barely maintain his path on his own, how dare he marry a wife and form a Taoist couple?"

Hearing this, Master Huang Long stared at him with his cloudy eyes for a moment, and finally nodded in admiration:

"Given Lu Xiaoyou's cultivation and experience, he actually has such a concept."

"Even our True Alchemy cultivators are often unable to control themselves. In this vast world of immortal cultivation, those who fail to become Nascent Soul will end up on the chessboard."

Hearing these remarks, Lu Changxin felt sad.

In his previous life, he was a major cultivator of alchemy, so he understood that Huanglong's words came from the bottom of his heart.

In the subsequent conversation, Master Huang Long did not mention a word about becoming a Taoist couple, perhaps because he knew that Lu Changan saw through the pros and cons.

Master Huanglong was surprised to find that he was enjoying his conversation with Lu Changan, and there was no natural barrier between him and Master Jiedan during the Foundation Establishment period.

You must know that Master Huanglong is not an ordinary true elixir cultivator.

Ordinary monks in the early and middle stages of pill formation would have to give him some respect.

"It's a pity that I don't have much time left, so I can't have a deep chat with Mr. Lu."

The eyes of Master Huang Long were meaningful, and he could faintly sense that Lu Changan had a great background, or that he might have some unknown secret.

"It is the first time in Lu's life that he can sit down and talk with a legendary alchemist like Senior Huang Long, and it is an honor."

Lu Changan smiled.

After more than a hundred years in this life, it was not easy for him to talk to a master Jiedan who was at a similar level in his previous life. For him, it was also a kind of psychological comfort.

Master Huang Long is also about to die.

Therefore, he did not deliberately restrain himself in his conversation and temperament.

…

"When I first came to your mansion, I saw the Xuan Shui Turtle, and its cultivation had grown extraordinary. I once heard that when Little Friend Lu got the Xuan Shui Turtle egg, his vital signs were weak, and he was most likely a sick child."

Master Huanglong said with interest.

"It can be seen that Lu Xiaoyou has unique attainments in cultivating spiritual pets."

"I can only tell you a little bit about it."

Lu Changan had a reasonable explanation for this.

"My health-preserving skills are relatively good at warming and nourishing. Coupled with the treasures of heaven and earth that I obtained in my early years, it was a coincidence that the Xuan Shui Turtle grew up so smoothly."

The Xuan Shui Turtle's true cultivation level has always been at the late first level, and ordinary monks cannot see it.

However, in close contact, he couldn't hide it from the venomous eyes of the real Huanglong.

"Little friend Lu, if you really have a unique skill or are a strange hermit, please save my old friend."

Master Huang Long suddenly stood up, spoke sincerely, and bowed his hands.

The old friend he spoke of was naturally the Earth Dragon Beast.

"Master, please don't try to discredit this junior! I am just an ordinary foundation-building monk, not a so-called reclusive master."

Lu Changan couldn't laugh or cry.

Just showing a little bit of conversational temperament made Master Huang Long think of this.

However, there are indeed such rumors in the world of immortality.

Some mysterious old monsters, because of unknown restrictions or purposes, like to hide their identities and play games in the world.

There are relevant records in Tianheng Continent's "Yunei Qiren Series".

There is a saying that due to special reasons, the legendary power in the divine transformation stage cannot take action easily, and is even unwilling to reveal its identity.

At least, Lu Changan has not confirmed where the God Transformation Stage has occurred in three lifetimes.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, whether it is true or false, please help me take a look."

After Master Huanglong finished speaking, he took out a spiritual pet bag from his waist.

The two of them moved to the empty main hall of the cave.

As the restriction was opened, an earthy yellow halo rippled on the surface of the spiritual pet bag.

Soon, a strange beast that was completely petrified, resembling a crocodile and a dragon, appeared in front of Lu Changan.

"Petrified seal?"

Lu Changan looked at him with a strange look on his face.

During the induction, this petrified earth dragon beast had no heartbeat and its life force was almost dead.

He placed his palm on the surface of the petrified earth dragon beast, and it felt like a cold marble texture.

Only when his spiritual consciousness was integrated into it could he feel the subtle sleeping consciousness.

"There is no way to save it!"

Lu Changan sighed and shook his head.

To some extent, the Earth Dragon Beast's body almost died, but it used a secret technique to seal its body before it died, making it immortal and preserving its remaining spiritual wisdom and vitality.

With his Changqing magic power alone, he could not save it.

Even if he used the Changqing secret technique and consumed his lifespan, he would have to pay a considerable price.

After all, the Earth Dragon Beast's life level was far higher than his.

This was not the same level of difficulty as saving Mu Xiuyun back then.

"Is there really no way, Mr. Lu?"

Huang Long Zhenren seemed to be holding a fluke mentality, watching the details of Lu Changan's expression.

"If this is successful, I will definitely reward you handsomely. I am willing to trade with my life magic weapon and add the main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill, the 'Seven-core Mysterious Moon Flower'."

In order to increase persuasiveness, Huang Long Zhenren sacrificed his famous magic weapon [Huanglong Mountain Seal].

The main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill, sealed in a jade box, is a rare third-level seven-core strange flower.

Lu Changan's heart moved.

There are three main ingredients for the Crystal Condensation Pill, and the most rare and critical one is the "Seven-core Mysterious Moon Flower".

It just so happens that he has gathered 70% of the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill from Senior Brother Zhuo, and the most difficult one is the "Seven-core Mysterious Moon Flower".

Once he gets this flower, there will be no real obstacles to refining another Crystal Condensation Pill in the future.

As for the life magic weapon of Huang Long Zhenren, although it is extremely powerful, it is temporarily unusable with Lu Changan's cultivation, and it is not very compatible with the attributes of the technique.

"This 'Seven-core Mysterious Moon Flower' is still a few dozen years away from a full five hundred years to meet the main ingredient requirements of the Crystal Condensation Pill. If you put in rare spiritual liquid, you can speed up its growth."

Noticing Lu Changan's gaze, Huang Long Zhenren added.

"Unfortunately, I really can't do anything."

Lu Changan sighed, and did not hide his expectations for the main ingredient of the Crystal Condensation Pill.

Even though Huang Long Zhenren was dying, Lu Changan was unwilling to reveal the secret of Changqing Gong.

Unless he didn't have the Crystal Condensation Pill, he could still try to take risks. After the transaction, they must flee quickly and stay away from Liang State.

Seeing Lu Changan's reaction, Huang Long Zhenren was basically convinced that the other party had no ability to treat the Earth Dragon Beast.

Otherwise, facing the opportunity of Dan Condensation, the foundation-building cultivators would find it difficult to resist the temptation.

...

"Sister...you are awake."

In the carriage not far away, Fu Dong's voice of crying with joy came.

Huang Long Zhenren put away the magic weapon and the main medicine for Dan Condensation, and went with Lu Changan to check.

"Master...Master, please forgive me for my incompetence and failure to save Huanglong Mountain."

In the carriage, Fu Xuemei opened her eyelids, her face was still pale, and she wanted to get up but her whole body was weak and her abdomen was aching.

"It is difficult to go against the trend. You have tried your best. Rest well first."

Huang Long Zhenren smiled kindly, and the wrinkles on his face had a cracked and old feeling.

Lu Changan did not say a word.

Fu Xuemei looked at him with her beautiful eyes and said happily:

"Daoyou Lu, the last time we met was sixty years ago. A few years ago, I wanted to meet you, but there was no suitable opportunity."

About fifteen years ago, Lu Changan had dealt with Fu Xuemei as a junior brother Cheng.

At that time, he even became her "guardian" by mistake. In the end, he traded inferior crystal-forming pills for genuine crystal-forming pills, allowing Fu Xuemei to achieve the lowest quality of real pills.

"Today, I saw that Daoyou Lu is still young and graceful. He raises turtles and plants in Wuqi Mountain and is contented. It's so enviable."

Looking at the man in white whose appearance has not changed, Fu Xuemei seemed to have returned to the Huanglong Immortal City more than sixty years ago and experienced the scene in Master Hua's house.

What happened back then was against her heart and even left a flaw in her state of mind.

"Master Fu, you are too kind! I am too rigid and unchanging, which is a sign of complacency. How can I compare with Master Fu, who is not only as beautiful as before, but also more charming after achieving the true elixir."

Although Lu Changan meant to flatter, he was also telling the truth.

Fu Xuemei is younger than Zhao Siyao and formed the elixir earlier, so she looks like a young woman in her twenties.

Due to the bonus of her elixir formation, her charm is even better than before.

"If the impression of Xuemei in Daoyou Lu is as good as you said, I will have no regrets."

Fu Xuemei's pale face was slightly red, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Lu Changan thought to himself, could it be that this woman had some kind of sharp intuition and doubted herself in the past.

"Just now, was it Daoyou Lu who saved me?"

Fu Xuemei changed the subject and guessed.

"Sister, how did you know?"

Fu Dong looked surprised.

Fu Xuemei had just woken up. During her coma, she had no idea where she was going.

"I just needed the guidance of my master to help Master Fu stabilize his injuries with the secret medicine in his body."

Lu Changan said modestly.

"I'm sorry that I can't stand up to thank you for saving my life, Daoist Lu."

Fu Xuemei said solemnly.

During her coma, she fell into a dark consciousness and felt a hint of green warmth, as if it came from an evergreen ancient tree, which was endless and echoed with her true elixir.

"Master Fu is too polite. Senior Huang Long has already paid. Even if I don't make a move, you can still get through this safely."

Lu Changan understood that Master Huang Long had another chance to make a move.

This move was essentially a transaction, not a life-saving favor.

The third-level spiritual wood and third-level puppet inheritance given by Master Huang Long were all what he needed.

"Little friend Lu, you seem to be older than Xuemei?"

Master Huang Long suddenly spoke.

Lu Changan nodded and said with shame: "There are different levels of enlightenment. I am a little older than Master Fu, so I can't be compared with him."

"Haha! Little friend Lu, don't be modest. You and Xuemei have known each other since early years. One time I owed her and the other time I was grateful. This kind of cause and effect cannot be discussed in terms of the backup of the realm of cultivation."

"Master, what you said makes sense. Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't have to address me as 'Master Fu' in every sentence. You and I should be treated as equals."

Fu Xuemei quickly understood what Master meant.

Lu Changan didn't object to this. Being equals is being equals. Anyway, he is not the one who suffers.

"Xuemei, this kind of cause and effect is like a grace of rebirth for you and your sister. You should call Fellow Daoist Lu your elder brother."

Master Huanglong's expression was serious and his tone was heavier.

Fu Xuemei was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes, empty and lonely, fell on Lu Changan's face, and she said softly:

"Hello, Brother Lu."

Although she didn't know the intention of Master's doing this, Fu Xuemei didn't reject it.

A female True Dan cultivator was so gentle and respectful, and she was the unattainable Earth Spiritual Root genius Fu Xuemei.

Lu Changan felt his scalp tingling.

"No, no."

He looked a little flustered, and probably guessed the intention of Huang Long Zhenren.

He glanced at Kong Gu Youlan, the weak True Dan cultivator.

He thought to himself: Even if you call me dad today, this Little Turtle Peak can't let you stay overnight.
