Chapter 220: Third-Level Array Master

"A troublesome man indeed."

Of course, Lu Changan couldn't tell. Xiang Jinglong was wanted by Lihuo Palace and joined the Demon Cult. All of this was thanks to him.

Now, this person has become a major obstacle for him to go to Jing Kingdom.

Of course, even if there is no Xiang Jinglong, there is still Xiang Dalong and Xiang Shaolong.

The Demonic Cult will always send a powerful person to intervene in the chaotic border area to obtain the resources, benefits and voice of this area.

"Can individual monks cross the border and reach Jing Country without going through these chambers of commerce and escort organizations?"

Lu Changan asked.

"It's hard!"

Li Congren shook his head and said: "The distance between the two countries is long, and there are large areas of poor spiritual land, and even extremely spiritual land, including naturally dangerous areas. The best way is to take a giant spiritual ship, driven by formation spiritual stones, There is no need to waste one's own mana, which is helpful in resisting various risks from the outside world..."

Lu Changan showed a look of understanding.

The land of poor souls and absolutely soulless souls means traveling long distances, and it is difficult for the monks to replenish their magic power. A tired body has a greatly reduced ability to resist external risks.

Even without the suppression from the Liang Kingdom sect and the threat from the Demon Cult, the Jie Cultivators ambushed on the road alone would be enough to eat a pot.

The robbers, thugs, and wanted criminals running rampant on the border between the two countries are much more cruel than those in the Liang Kingdom.

"In the past, during non-war periods, False Dan Zhenren could easily cross the border, and there was some hope in the later stages of strong foundation building. But in today's special period, False Dan Zhenren, traveling alone, has certain risks. "

"More than half a year ago, a fake Dan master who crossed the border was attacked and died..."

Li Congren does not recommend individuals to cross the border.

According to his understanding, most of the fake Danzhen people traveling to and from Liang State are currently traveling on giant spiritual ships.

First, the comfort is good and you don’t have to travel long distances.

The second is higher safety, huddle together to keep warm, and use the formation of the giant spiritual ship to defend against the enemy.

Lu Changan thought to himself: "In this case, the plan of crossing the border by pretending to be a fake Dan real person will not be easy to implement."

After being promoted to the later stage of foundation building, his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of the fake elixir master. With the "Hundred Fantasy Mask", he can disguise himself as the fake elixir master with higher cultivation level.

He had previously wanted to use this high-profile method to hide the truth and cross the border.

"When Baihuan Mask disguises its identity, it will slowly consume spiritual consciousness. The higher the simulation level, the greater the consumption of spiritual consciousness. Traveling long distances consumes both spiritual consciousness and mana. If you are crouched..."

Lu Changan shook his head secretly, temporarily rejecting this idea.

"If Grandpa Lu wants to go to Jing Country, Congren recommends the 'Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce'. Looking at the two major immortal cultivation countries, only this force can relatively reliably send people back to Jing Country."

"Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce?" Lu Changan had some knowledge of this force.

"Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is one of the 'three major chambers of commerce' of the Jing Kingdom Commercial Alliance. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Its president is the deputy leader of the merchant alliance. This chamber of commerce has major business dealings with the Liang Kingdom sect and is generally not considered by the sect. Investigate strictly."

"Every time we go back and forth, the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce will spend a huge sum of money to hire a powerful escort organization to escort us. In order to share the cost and obtain greater benefits, Jiuchen will secretly sell some 'shipping tickets' and bring some Liang Kingdom monks back to Jing Kingdom. "

"Oh? The Demonic Church will not stop the giant spiritual ship of the 'Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce'."

"The Devil's Cult will also give the Chamber of Commerce a small amount of money. Even if they encounter it, they can spend money to eliminate the disaster without killing them all. It is said that more than half of the monks brought back to Jing Kingdom by the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce survived during the first two trips back to Jing Kingdom. "

"Then where have the nearly half of the monks gone?"

"Congren doesn't know the details."

Li Congren said uncertainly: "Perhaps it was due to the risks on the road, such as encountering the Demon Cult and not being able to pay enough ransom. Anyway, most monks with background and sufficient financial resources can arrive safely."

Lu Changan suddenly realized that in the eyes of this descendant, he was the kind of monk with abundant financial resources and a good background.

"How to buy a ticket for the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Changan has sufficient financial resources, and his cash flow of spiritual stones alone exceeds 100,000.

"A ticket for the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce needs to be introduced by a monk above the middle level of the merchant alliance. Plus the intermediary fee, one ticket will cost at least four to five thousand spiritual stones."

"Four to five thousand spirit stones?"

Lu Changan was secretly surprised that the genuine Foundation Establishment Pills sold at auctions often only cost six thousand spirit stones.

"Does Congren have a channel to buy a boat ticket for Grandpa Lu?"

"It's possible, but our Xuemeishan Li family doesn't have much weight in the eyes of the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce. Grandpa Lu has a relationship with the 'Beast Control Zhou Family', so it would be safer to ask the Zhou Family to take action."

Mu Congren suggested.

As one of the seven major families in the Liang Kingdom, the Zhou family of Yushou also has contacts with the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce and has a greater say.

The ferry tickets purchased by the Zhou family are more secure during the journey.

Lu Changan thought for a while: "I don't trust the Zhou family very much."

"I'd like to trouble Congren to come forward. Grandpa Lu will cover all the management expenses."

"Grandpa Lu, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to Congren."

Li Congren agreed without hesitation.

…

Li Congren estimates that it will take at least a month to purchase a boat ticket because there are not places available every month.

During this period, Lu Changan stayed at the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.

The Li family of Xuemei Mountain is relatively close to the Zhou family of Yushou.

"Zhou Qingxuan...the newest fake elixir master in the beast-controlling Zhou family in a hundred years, the Supreme Elder?"

At the Li Family in Xuemei Mountain, Lu Changan obtained the recent intelligence.

Zhou Qingxuan has a high-grade spiritual root and has outstanding beast-controlling talents. His qualifications and opportunities are better than those of Zhao Siyao.

Originally, this woman had some hope of being promoted to a true elixir.

However, the backlash from Master Huang Long damaged its foundation.

The stripping of the Baisu Soul Gu caused trauma to her sea of ​​consciousness, including the unresolved Gu insect restriction, which would have more or less impact.

The achievement of fake elixir was within Lu Changan's expectation.

…

More than half a month later.

Li Congren went out and did not come back.

His wife Wu Yuee took the initiative to come to Lu Changan to discuss matters.

"Grandpa Lu, these days the Earth Rock Rat and the little Golden Rat have a close relationship. If the Earth Rock Rat is pregnant with an heir, I hope some of the babies can be kept in Xuemei Mountain."

Wu Yue'e asked for instructions.

Rat monsters always give birth to a litter once they become pregnant.

This is an advantage in the reproduction of monsters, although their initial spiritual intelligence, cultivation of immortality, and other aspects are not as good as humans.

Of course, for species that reproduce quickly, their bloodline is often not guaranteed to be the same as that of their parents, and the chance of a lower-level bloodline appearing is higher.

"Congren's spirit rat didn't leave any heirs before?"

Lu Changan glanced at this ordinary-looking female foundation-building cultivator who was neither humble nor overbearing.

"The little golden rat is very demanding. He has never had close contact with ordinary rats before. Even this time, he was..."

Wu Yue'e's face turned slightly red and she swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Lu Changan felt funny.

Li Congren's spirit rat was actually semi-forced this time...

As early as Li Congren visited Xiaogui Peak for the first time.

The ground rock rat smelled the scent and acted very restless. At that time, he probably took a fancy to the opponent's spirit rat.

At that time, Lu Changan asked Li Congren whether his spirit rat was male or female, and Li Congren replied "male". (Chapter 184)

Later, the Earth Rock Rat went to the Beast Control Zhou family for "further training". The rat demons were obedient and served him very comfortably, and he lived a nurturing life.

The beast-controlling Zhou family was interested in the mutated bloodline of the Earth Rock Rat and wanted to mate with it. However, the Earth Rock Rat did not "conceive" any heirs during that time. (Chapter 202)

At that time, Zhou Qingxuan said that the rock rat was very similar to Lu Changan.

"If the Earth Rock Rat is indeed pregnant with an heir, he will share a portion with you. However, the Earth Rock Rat must have the first right to choose the offspring."

Lu Changan said.

He wasn't sure whether the rock rat would be pregnant.

According to the previous rules, it should not be possible.

But Li Congren's spirit rat has a high bloodline and outstanding appearance, and is obviously very popular with the rock rats.

…

A few days later.

Li Congren returned safely and came to Lu Changan's guest room to meet alone.

Wait for Lu Changan to set up isolation restrictions.

Li Congren handed a white jade plaque to Lu Changan's hand:

"Grandpa Lu, luckily you have lived up to your fate."

"Thanks a lot."

Lu Changan inspected the white jade plaque, entered it with his spiritual consciousness, and obtained the basic information of "New Moon Chamber of Commerce Recommendation".

The Crescent Chamber of Commerce should be the Jingguo Chamber of Commerce that has more contacts with Li Congren.

Lu Changan asked about the situation and handed a bag of spirit stones to Li Congren.

In addition to the boat tickets and the spiritual stones required for points.

Lu Changan additionally gave Li Congren a second-level high-grade puppet.

Li Congren was overjoyed, and after several rejections, he bought the puppet at half the price.

Back then, he was able to establish a foothold in the bitter cold land and establish a family. The puppets sold by Lu Changan in his early years played a big role.

"Grandpa Lu, in twenty days, with this identity jade token, you can board the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce's spiritual ship back to Jing Kingdom."

Li Congren told Lu Changan the time and place.

…

After getting the boat ticket, Lu Changan immediately called back the rock rat.

These days, the rock rats hang out outside every day and can't see any shadows.

"Not pregnant?"

Not long after, Li Congren, Wu Yue'e, and an animal trainer arrived at the scene to check the rock rat's body.

As a result, Li Congren and his wife were slightly disappointed.

It was confirmed again and again that the rock rat was not pregnant with a baby golden rat.

Li Congren glanced at the sluggish little golden mouse at his feet, who had lost a lot of weight.

These days, the little golden mouse has been working hard day and night, almost losing its vitality.

Li Congren had a painful expression on his face and forced a smile.

The rock rat is refreshed and has brilliant fur.

squeak!

It bared its teeth slightly, the little golden mouse's legs softened, and it got into the owner's spiritual pet bag.

"Congren, Yue'e, since the Earth Rock Rat is not pregnant, let's drop this matter and Grandpa Lu will leave first."

Lu Changan stopped staying, put away the rock rat, and left.

Wu Yue'e was about to speak, but Li Congren held her hand.

Wu Yue'e didn't know where Lu Changan was.

The little golden mouse has been tossing for these days and gained nothing. She only feels that she has suffered a loss and wants Lu Changan to stay as a guest for a longer time.

…

Five days later.

The Royal Beast Zhou family is hundreds of miles away.

Lu Changan sat on the big turtle, with his eyes closed tightly, making secrets on his hands, and casting spells from a distance.

"This woman has been promoted to the False Pill, her lifespan has been greatly increased by a hundred years, and her sea of ​​consciousness has also been greatly enhanced. From now on, the ban on Gu insects should not need to be stabilized once a year."

"However, I am leaving for this trip and will not return for at least several decades."

Lu Changan stayed there for half a day.

At a certain moment, he opened his eyes and put away the Xuan Shui Turtle.

He changed his clothes and flew to the west along the branches of the Black Mist Mountains.

After drinking some tea, a sound broke through the air.

With the spiritual pressure of False Dan Zhenren, a beautiful girl with a face as beautiful as jade and eyes as bright as lacquer stepped on the clouds to escape the light and landed where Lu Changan was sitting cross-legged just now.

"You clearly asked me to meet here, but you left early?"

Zhou Qingxuan wrinkled her nose slightly and murmured.

Before forming the pill, Zhou Qingxuan already had a quasi-third-level beastman, which could compete with ordinary fake pill masters.

Now that she has been promoted to fake pill, her strength has doubled.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she found a jade tube placed on the ground with residual breath.

Picked up the jade tube and used her spiritual sense to explore.

After a while, Zhou Qingxuan put away the jade tube, feeling mixed emotions.

The jade tube recorded the method of stabilizing the Gu worm restriction, which the spirit of the fake pill master was enough to comprehend.

In addition, Lu Changan left a message in the jade tube, saying that he was going to a remote place to prepare for the formation of the pill, and asked her to take care of herself and not to break the oath she made that year.

"The method left by Lu Changan can only stabilize the Gu worm restriction from attacking, but cannot completely resolve it. Unless he succeeds in forming the pill..."

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Qingxuan turned around and flew to Wuqi Mountain.

Two days later, she arrived at Wuqi Mountain.

Her spiritual sense swept over.

As expected, there was no trace of Lu Changan on Xiaogui Peak. The familiar black water turtle and rock rat no longer exist.

On the mountain, there is only a mountain keeper and a maid.

Zhou Qingxuan landed on Xiaogui Peak and chatted with the mountain keeper for a few words. She learned that this person had a slight connection with Lu Changan.

Zhou Qingxuan gave the mountain keeper Qifeng a gift and left.

"Hey! A third-level mountain protection formation?"

When she flew away from Xiaogui Peak, her consciousness subconsciously swept across the two main peaks nearby.

As a result, she was bounced off by the formation of Xiaopan Peak and almost suffered a backlash.

Zhou Qingxuan was shocked. A third-level formation master was born in Wuqi Mountain?

I took a day off on the 24th. I was delayed during the day. I was very sleepy after dinner.
