Chapter 253 Lighting up the Fourth World
Lu Changan's head jumped slightly, secretly surprised.
In the past three generations, apart from the Baisu Soul Gu, this is the second time that the Nine Seal Monument has reacted.
Baisu Soul Gu is the only nourishment that can light up the fourth life of the Nine Seal Monument.
Apart from this, no alternatives were found.
Lu Changan once guessed: Baisu Soul Gu is a kind of soul-path strange insect that needs to host a physical carrier and contains mysterious soul-path power.
So, is the nourishment in the area illuminated by the Nine Seal Monument related to the soul path? Especially the soul.
You must know that the shadow of the soul of the previous life descended from the Nine Seal Monument is also a special form of soul power.
But in his previous life, Lu Changan had captured ghosts and had contact with the souls of monks, but the Nine-Seal Monument had no reaction.
As for the Soul Dao items, Lu Changan’s highest exposure in his previous life reached the third level, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Lu? Is there something wrong with Mr. Wang's health?"
The subtle fluctuations in Lu Changan's mood passed in a flash and were keenly noticed by Wang Feng.
"It's okay. Mr. Wang's repair of his underlying injuries has progressed beyond Lu's expectation. I think he must have taken a lot of miraculous medicines."
Lu Changan was wary and said with a smile.
He suspected that Mr. Wang was lodged by Baisu Soul Gu.
Logically speaking, Baisu Fengu suffered a loss from him and died mysteriously, so he should have some scruples about himself.
Furthermore, Mr. Wang is the golden elixir seed of Lihuo Palace. He is under the attention of Lihuo Palace’s true elixir overhaul and even Nascent Soul Lord. There is a great risk that Baisu Soul Gu will lodge in him.
Lu Changan hoped that Mr. Wang was really hosted by the soul Gu and tried to transfer it to him.
In this way, the Nine Seal Monument can replenish nutrients.
"Wang met the evacuation team from Lihuo Palace. With the gift from the elders, there is no shortage of miraculous medicine."
Mr. Wang turned his back to him and smiled lightly.
Two hours later.
Lu Changan withdrew his hand from Mr. Wang's back to complete this recuperation.
During the treatment process, Lu Changan came up with the idea of taking down Mr. Wang from behind and looking for the nourishment of the Jiuyin Monument.
In the end, Lu Changan gave up.
First, Mr. Wang has no enmity or enmity with him, it is a normal trading relationship.
Mr. Wang's remuneration was relatively high, and he also promised a favor, which was completely worthy of him.
Secondly, if Mr. Wang dares to leave the team alone, he must have someone to rely on.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's healing and nourishing methods are not inferior to those of a third-level pharmacist. I have a lot of injured people in Lihuo Palace, and I plan to stay in Jing Kingdom for a few years to recuperate. Could Friend Lu Dao be willing to come over and help them nurse their injuries?"
Mr. Wang turned around and suggested.
Just as Lu Changan was about to refuse, Mr. Wang turned over his hand and took out a strange lavender flower with seven petals.
"Seven-core Xuanyuehua!"
Lu Changan's face moved slightly. It was the rarest main medicine of the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Owning this flower is equivalent to owning the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Lu Changan once collected a set of materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill, but currently he is mainly short of the seven-core Xuanyuehua.
In the past two years, Mr. Wang requested to speed up the progress of nursing care. Lu Changan tried it with Crystal Condensation Pill or Seven-core Xuanyuehua.
Unexpectedly, this time I took out this thing and hired him.
"As long as Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to come and help for two years, this 'Seven Core Xuanyue Flower' will be the reward from Lihuo Palace."
Mr. Wang suggested with a smile.
"I'm sorry that Mr. Lu has no luck in enduring this."
Lu Changan swallowed, seeming to refuse with difficulty.
He already has a complete opportunity to form an elixir, so there is no need to take risks.
"Friend Lu Dao, there is no need to worry about your own safety. The Jinyang Sect has stopped chasing Lihuo Palace, and there is no need to worry about the rest."
Mr. Wang persuaded.
Lu Changan still refused.
Mr. Wang sighed and did not force it.
Lu Changan stood up and handed over his hands, saying goodbye and leaving.
"This person's magic power is a bit weird. Although his fighting skills are not outstanding, he has an invisible characteristic..."
Mr. Wang sat there, his eyes flickering, and he fell into a brief thought.
…
Leave Xunxianfu Inn.
Lu Changan found an ordinary inn in Yunyan Fairy City and settled there.
At nightfall.
In the shadow of the guest room, a mysterious hooded man in gray and white robes appeared.
"How is the situation?" Lu Changan asked without looking back.
"Mr. Lu, after Wang Feng left Fairy City, our informant lost track of him."
Xing Peng's face looked ugly.
Through the meeting between Lu Changan and Wang Feng, Xing Peng focused on Wang Feng's movements and collected intelligence clues within his own jurisdiction.
"Has this situation ever happened before?"
"It appeared twice, but lost track of it halfway, until it came into our sight again around Yunyan Fairy City."
"Why not capture him directly?" Lu Changan asked.
"First of all, before the war begins, our Wujian Sect mainly focuses on infiltration and gathering intelligence. We rarely take direct action to avoid exposing our traces."
"Furthermore, the danger rating faced by Wang Feng is relatively high. If you dare to come out alone, you must have someone to rely on."
Lu Changan is more in favor of Wujianmen's intelligence analysis.
He also suspected that Mr. Wang had someone to rely on.
However, in the previous personal treatment, Changqing's mana entered the opponent's body and no abnormality was found. This is more direct than the detection of divine consciousness.
It is speculated from this that Mr. Wang's reliance may come from external objects.
When leaving Xunxian Mansion, he seemed to feel a faint sense of prying eyes.
With the arrival of the second life, although he was in a semi-dormant state and the loss of soul power was reduced, Lu Changan's senses were far better than before.
If that sense of prying eyes really exists, it's at least a major overhaul in the later stages of pill formation.
This had to make Lu Changan cautious.
"How many Jindan masters escaped from Lihuo Palace?"
"In addition to Elder Wang, there are two others who have fought their way out, and one of them is still alive or dead. At that time, they did not break out in the direction of Jing State, but after a year, no one can guarantee it."
"By the way, have you found any trace of the Grand Elder of Lihuo Palace?"
Lu Changan's heart moved.
"It is not confidential information that I can access when it involves Yuanying Zhenjun." Xing Peng shook his head and said, "But it is certain that Master Lihuo was seriously injured, and he may be hiding in a corner to recover secretly."
Lu Changan nodded in agreement.
If he was Master Lihuo, he would definitely find a place to hide, seize the time to recover, and get through the weakest stage.
This is the most cowardly and stable plan.
Otherwise, several Jindan masters may join forces to threaten his life.
As long as Master Lihuo hides in the dark, those who are interested will not dare to easily attack Elder Wang and others.
...
Late at night, in the guest room.
Lu Changan closed his eyes and sensed, allowing the shadow of the soul of the second life to amplify his senses.
In this state, the soul shadow of the second life is consumed ten times faster.
The effect is of course good.
If there is a late Jindan master spying, it is difficult to escape his senses.
Even if it is the early Yuanying, if you rashly use your spiritual sense to explore, you may be sensed by him.
Because this is a state of full alert and sensing.
After one night, Lu Changan did not find any abnormal spying.
"Maybe it was a coincidence. Mr. Wang's secret protector just routinely scanned me with his spiritual sense."
For the sake of safety, Lu Changan was fully alert and sensed for the next two days.
It was as if he was fighting wits and courage with the air, and he did not find anything suspicious.
Lu Changan's doubts were somewhat eliminated.
In the evening a few days later.
An old man in a straw raincoat entered the residence of the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce and was personally received by Han Yu Zhenren.
In order to avoid suspicion from those who are interested, Lu Changan has agreed to meet with Mr. Wang in the past few years, and he did not come to Han Yu Zhenren to discuss the Tao every time.
...
In the elegant bedroom with sandalwood curling in the Chamber of Commerce clan.
"Brother Xiang wants to buy a talisman pen of level three or above? Does he know a senior level three talisman master?"
Han Yu Zhenren turned her back to Lu Changan, her face still red, and changed into a set of exquisite white palace dress, covering her smooth jade-like beautiful back.
Lu Changan nodded and said, "Xiang does know a level three talisman master, and I owe him a favor, so I'll repay him with this."
He was not worried that Han Yu Zhenren would think of Lu Changan.
Lu Changan was only in the late stage of foundation building, and he could not control a level three talisman pen of level three or above.
Level three talisman pen is a simplified magic weapon, which requires extremely high mana and spiritual awareness.
Level three talisman pen of level three or above is difficult to control even for a level three talisman master with fake dan cultivation.
"If it is a level three top talisman pen, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce is powerless. A normal level three middle talisman pen also needs to rely on luck..."
Han Yu Zhenren hesitated and said in embarrassment.
Although Jing State has developed trade and many craftsmen, real level three talisman masters are rare.
Some of them are third-level low-grade talisman masters with fake elixir cultivation.
With high grade and low market demand, they are naturally unpopular.
"If Brother Xiang doesn't mind waiting for a few months, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce will do its best to help purchase through channels and contacts." Han Yu Zhenren pondered.
"No mind."
Lu Changan's doubts about the obscure spying that day have not been completely eliminated. Staying in the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce for a while longer will be more secure.
Even a strong True Dan cultivator would not dare to openly and unreasonably attack in the Chamber of Commerce Immortal City.
Moreover, as the defeated party, the Lihuo Palace needs to keep a low profile and lie dormant.
In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.
During this period, Lu Changan did not indulge in the discussion of Taoism, and used other identities to mix in the bottom of the Immortal City.
On this day, Han Yu Zhenren left a letter at the designated location for contact.
Lu Changan returned to the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce again.
"This third-level middle-grade talisman pen has been severely damaged. It can only draw dozens of third-level talismans at most."
Han Yu Zhenren opened a talisman box and showed an old silver-patterned talisman pen.
Talisman pens are inevitably damaged during use. If they are to be repaired, the cost is very high, not much cheaper than making a new one.
The third-level low-grade one that Lu Changan is currently using is also second-hand. It can be used to draw third-level middle-grade ones. If it is higher, it will be a drag.
"That's fine! I will compensate that talisman master friend with some spirit stones at that time."
Lu Changan's talisman embryo material is limited, and dozens of times are enough to squander.
Since it is a talisman pen that is close to being scrapped, Lu Changan only spent more than 10,000 spirit stones to buy it.
...
Two days later.
Lu Changan left Yunyan Xiancheng and the journey was smooth.
Flying to the vicinity of Changhong River, there is only a hundred miles left to Qingsha Bay, one of the tributary waters.
Hmm?
Lu Changan looked at the dense forest along the coast and his heart jumped.
This dense forest was where the rock rats devoured and killed Yu Qin and the vice president of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
It wasn't that they discovered an ambush.
But they just passed by this dense forest a few dozen breaths ago.
This kind of encounter is like a ghost wall.
"Illusion array!"
Lu Changan's eyes were sharp, integrating the second life and amplifying his senses.
He faintly caught a layer of twisted ring-shaped light purple light film, which penetrated the void and enveloped the surrounding twenty miles, creating a strange space isolated from the outside world.
It can deceive the senses of the True Dan Daxiu level, at least the third-level upper grade, or even the fourth-level illusion array.
"The turtle talisman master is really not simple, he can actually find the location of the illusion array."
In the dense forest, a handsome man with sharp edges and corners appeared in a purple shirt and flew into the air calmly.
"Wang Feng, what do you mean?"
Lu Changan's expression changed and he looked around, seeing only the other party.
At this time, he realized that something was wrong with Wang Feng in front of him.
In addition to the difference in temperament, his deep gaze was locked, as if a mountain was pressing on him, and his soul was throbbing inexplicably.
No one under the Nascent Soul Lord could put such pressure on Lu Changan in his current state.
"Of course I will take you away! This is the first time Pindao has seen him during the foundation-building period of five hundred years of life."
Wang Feng's cold eyes flickered with purple flames.
"Master Lihuo!"
Lu Changan's head was shaking. How could this supreme elder from the Lihuo Palace possess Wang Feng or seize his body if he didn't take good care of himself?
Could it be that Master Lihuo's injuries were more serious than outsiders expected, so much so that he had to abandon his physical body and his Nascent Soul left the body.
The other party did not attack near the fairy city, but chose to guard Lu Changan here.
suddenly.
Wang Feng, not far away, was blurred in his field of vision and disappeared.
boom!
The next moment, Lu Changan felt the sea of consciousness tremble, a dangerous burning sensation, and his consciousness went dark.
The shadow of the soul of the white-bearded old man possessed by the second generation suddenly lost a quarter of its light.
In the illusion formation, Lu Changan groaned in pain, passed out, and fell headlong into the turbulent river.
Uh-huh!
A purple shadow transformed into the figure of "Wang Feng" and appeared ten feet behind Lu Changan like a phantom.
The purple flames in his eyes disappeared.
"Wang Feng" pointed his finger, a thunderous sound rang out from his sleeves, and a braided magic weapon with flashing electric arcs flew out, like a smart thunder snake, wrapping around Lu Changan who fell unconscious.
At this moment, "Wang Feng's" mana has reached the late stage of foundation building. Due to the limitation of mana, he relies on Nascent Soul to control the magic weapon and can barely exert a little power.
Even so, if entangled by this whip, the true elixir will still be trapped in the early stages.
Phew!
The thunder snake whip that dragged the arc shattered the shadow of the man in white.
Lu Changan, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes, his body swelled up, exuding powerful energy and blood.
cut!
The beast-like body tore through the air, turned around and bullied him, holding a black gold scimitar in his hand, and slashed Wang Feng straight in the face.
"Fake elixir level body refining, Pindao has already predicted it."
A cold snort sounded in Lu Changan's mind.
"Wang Feng" in his field of vision moved horizontally to his left side, as if he had changed his position.
Lu Changan's magic power was fully restored, and his body was suddenly stiffened with a sword.
call!
The agile whip of the thunder snake took advantage of the situation and wrapped around Lu Changan's leg, making it impossible to hide.
"As expected of the Yuanying old monster!"
Lu Changan's chest lit up with the spiritual light of a treasure talisman, and five rotating crystal blue light shields protected his tall figure.
Boom!
The Whip of the Thunder Snake was knocked away by one of the rotating crystal blue light shields, and the latter also shattered in response.
"Third-level mid-grade talisman?"
"Wang Feng" frowned slightly, unexpectedly.
A talisman of this level would actually appear on a late-stage foundation builder?
You know, there are no real fourth-level talisman masters in the surrounding countries, and there are very few high-level third-level ones.
The higher the level of a Talisman Master, the more stringent the material requirements for practicing. How difficult is it to hunt down a mid- to late-level third-level monster, or even a demon king in disguise?
At the critical moment, Lu Changan activated one of the most powerful defensive talismans to avoid being captured.
Lu Changan also had four crystal blue light shields spinning around him, each of which could withstand the initial blow of the true elixir.
"start!"
Lu Changan's white robe fluttered and he shot two treasure talismans in succession.
Thunder Cloud Talisman!
A huge thundercloud of lightning roared between Lu Changan and "Wang Feng", swallowing the latter in his breath.
It is another third-level middle-grade treasure talisman, which was refined through the second-level possession state just a few months ago.
Thrilling thunder, accompanied by the roar of "Wang Feng", came from the thundercloud area.
"Fortunately, it's just the foundation-building stage of possession, and the magic power is far different, so the true power of magic weapons and magical powers cannot be exerted."
Lu Changan took out another flying escape talisman in his hand.
In an instant, a cloud of wind surrounded him, dragging a dazzling blue rainbow light and flying towards the boundary of the illusion formation.
"Turtle Talisman Master! You can't break through the fourth-level residual formation here."
A cold and fierce shout came, and "Wang Feng" was surrounded by ice clouds. He used a third-level defense talisman to break out of the violent thundercloud area.
He took out another third-level escape talisman and quickly chased Lu Changan.
Lu Changan flew in the direction of the dense forest by the river, approaching the boundary of the phantom formation.
Fortunately, with the possession of the second life, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness is unprecedentedly powerful, and he can find the edges of the illusion array and even detect the weak points in it.
"break!"
Lu Changan took out a stack of talismans in his hand. There were six or seven of them, all of which were third-level forbidden talismans.
Just the first shot caused the light at the edge of the illusion array to tremble and the illusion of the void to twist.
After all, it was just a fourth-order remnant formation with no one in charge, and its defense power was much worse due to the temporary arrangement driven by spirit stones.
"So many third-level forbidden talismans?"
"Wang Feng" was chasing behind him, his pupils shrank and his expression was stagnant.
The third-level forbidden talisman is a rare strategic resource in the battlefield of cultivating immortals.
Lu Changan must have a great opportunity.
Puff puff!
Three consecutive beams of forbidden light broke into tiny cracks on the border of the phantom formation.
"Wang Feng" looked as gloomy as water.
A purple Taoist's Nascent Soul emerged on the surface of his body, looming.
Hmm~
The Taoist Yuanying made a seal with both hands, and a creepy wave emerged. A few drops of purple tadpole-like ancient text flames surrounded Wang Feng.
The light under Wang Feng's feet suddenly ignited a dazzling purple flame, and the speed doubled!
It seemed that "Wang Feng" was about to approach Lu Changan by dozens of feet.
Puff!
A thick giant stone wall rose from the ground under the dense forest.
"Not good-"
"Wang Feng" was too fast at this time, and his physical control was not enough, so he collided head-on with the stone wall spell cast by the real Dan demon.
Boom!
The stone wall exploded, and a large pile of rocks submerged "Wang Feng"'s body, and a faint scream was heard.
"Well done!"
Lu Changan's fifth forbidden-breaking talisman just tore a foot wide crack in the border of the illusion array.
A beam of earth-yellow light quickly rushed into Lu Changan's spirit pet bag.
Passing through the crack in the illusion array.
The light and shadows twisted, and Lu Changan appeared in the sky above the waters with fresh air.
"That collision was so fast that Wang Feng's body would definitely not be able to bear it."
Lu Changan felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, there were a lot of treasure talismans in his hand. They had been nurtured for so many years, all of which were of third-level quality, with more than 60 pieces.
There were many trump cards and a high tolerance rate to avoid such unknown accidents.
Lu Changan never expected that Master Lihuo was so seriously injured that he even gave up his body.
In fact, the specific injury of Master Lihuo was only known to him and Chu Tianfeng at first, and other forces had no definite information.
...
"Being able to escape from the hands of the Yuanying old monster is enough to be proud of, even though it is a disabled Yuanying."
Lu Changan took a deep breath.
Whoosh!
Stepping on the third-level escape light, Lu Changan flew to the central hinterland of Jing State, not to the Xia family of Qingsha Bay.
He thought to himself that "Wang Feng" would be difficult to catch up.
In terms of cultivation and physical strength, Wang Feng was not as good as him.
Compared with the number of escape talismans, Lu Changan was even less afraid.
If the physical cultivation is not enough, the high-load escape speed is too much for the foundation-building cultivators.
However, Lu Changan had only flown out for more than ten miles when a cold and vigorous voice came to his mind:
"Lu Changan, I said you can't escape!"
A purple-robed Taoist Yuanying, about a foot long, seemed to teleport, leaving a shadow, and entered the field of vision in a few breaths.
"The Yuanying has left the body!"
Lu Changan's escape light paused and smiled bitterly.
The Yuanying is a spiritual body, and its flying speed is several times that of the Yuanying Zhenjun of the same level.
Although the Yuanying floating alone is relatively fragile and does not have much fighting ability, it has certain spiritual means.
"The foundation-building physical body with a lifespan of 500 years, I want to see it."
The shadow flashed, and the Yuanying of the purple-robed Taoist instantly drilled into Lu Changan's body.
Lu Changan did not resist at all.
He sighed secretly. If he had no choice, he would not want to gamble on that method.
After learning that Wang Feng was possessed by the Nascent Soul, he had some guesses about the previous reaction of the Nine Seals.
Boom!
The light of the second soul shadow in Lu Changan's mind dimmed, and a crack was torn open by the tyranny.
The Nascent Soul of the purple-robed Taoist broke into the sea of consciousness, trying to take control of the body.
Buzz!
In the depths of the sea of consciousness, the ancient and dark mysterious monument lit up a grayish white light, rolling up the Nascent Soul that broke in.
"No——"
The Nascent Soul of Li Huo Shangren could not move, imprisoned by some kind of rule power.
A cry of fear came from the soul level and stopped abruptly.
In the fourth frame of the Nine Seals, the Nascent Soul of the purple-robed Taoist was crushed into particles.
Then, a pure and bright crystal white light came into being, quickly lighting up and spreading in the dead and gloomy area of the stone tablet.
Not only that.
The shadow of a purple Taoist was slowly outlined in the fourth blank frame.
