Chapter 355: Transaction Was Ripped Off (Clarification)

Qingluan Peak.

As soon as Lu Changan returned to the cave, Xiao Qingshan, the chief steward of the main peak, greeted him immediately and took the initiative to report the situation of Yunxia Sect.

In the past year, except for Master Yunqing's preparations and attack on Jie Ying, nothing major happened in the mountain gate.

In the inner palace of the cave, Lu Changan looked at Xiao Qingshan, who was handsome and handsome. Based on appearance and temperament alone, it is difficult to connect with Li Erqing in his previous life.

He secretly thought that the reincarnated person may not necessarily be very similar to his previous life, but may also have completely different personalities.

Xiao Qingshan received the Qi Refining and Foundation Building Chapter of "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" presented by Lu Changan. He showed his extraordinary talent for dual cultivation, and his cultivation speed was comparable to that of high-grade spiritual roots.

More than ten years after being promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, it is still moving forward steadily and has good stamina.

Moreover, Xiao Qingshan, like the ancestor of Tianluo, was very good at looking good. His appearance had basically not changed in the more than ten years he had been stationed at Qingluan Peak.

To the surprise of the outside world, Xiao Qingshan became the confidant of the elder of Danjie Daxiu. He had an extraordinary status and had been famous for many years without taking any concubines.

Xiao Qingshan has a stable and harmonious relationship with his Taoist companion Si Lu. He seems to be a dedicated person.

"Elder Xiang, not long after you left the sect, Qingshan heard a rumor at a gathering related to Sect Master Hu."

"Oh? Sect Leader Hu?"

Lu Changan had previously been outside the mountain gate, waiting for Master Yunqing to give birth to a baby, and had communicated with this old alchemy master.

"It is said that Sect Master Hu previously applied to the Supreme Elder to resign as the Sect Master, intending to enjoy his old age. However, in the end, he did not receive an answer, or he was asked to last a few more years."

Hearing this, Lu Changan was thoughtful and felt a little sympathy for Sect Master Hu.

Nowadays, with the failure of Master Yunqing to conceive a baby, the Yunxia Sect's pill formation overhaul is even more scarce.

As the sect leader of the Nascent Soul Sect, the representative of a force must have prestige, and it is usually held by a major cultivator of the Dan Jie.

"Elder Xiang, Uncle Yunqing is..."

Before leaving, Xiao Qingshan looked at the main peak of the fourth-order spiritual vein where the baby was born not long ago.

Despite his speculations, Xiao Qingshan was not completely sure.

Lu Changan sighed and shook his head slightly.

After successfully breaking the elixir to transform into an infant, once it fails, there is almost no chance of survival.

This is the danger of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many geniuses and heroes have been stopped.

…

The next day.

The news of Master Yunqing's death spread quietly inside the mountain gate.

Yunxia Sect chose to keep a low profile and organize the funeral, allowing only a few close direct descendants to participate.

The failure of Master Yunqing to conceive a baby means that the hope of Yunxia Sect's three-dimensional baby has been shattered.

The underground secret room of the cave.

Lu Changan took out the Xuantian Gourd Vine and let it take root again, connecting it with the earth's energy.

The small buds on the Xuantian gourd vine have grown slightly compared to more than 40 years ago.

This is the result of long-term nourishment by Lu Changan and Xuan Shui Turtle.

"It's just a year's absence, which has little impact on luck. Yunqing's failure to conceive a baby has nothing to do with a certain family."

Lu Changan looked at the main peak where Master Yunqing held funerals.

Xuan Teng has taken root in Yunxia Sect, and the current convergence of luck has minimal impact on individual monks.

If we wait for decades or hundreds of years, the effect of the gathered luck will have a certain significance for Master Yunqing's birth.

But it's still not the deciding factor.

In Lu Changan's view, Master Yunqing's failure to conceive a baby was mainly due to insufficient good fortune, and perhaps it was also related to his state of mind and will.

However, the inner demon tribulation is so weird and unpredictable that no one can tell for sure.

In the world of cultivating immortals, some monks who have been practicing for hundreds of years and have a strong will may have many flaws due to too much experience, and eventually die from the inner demon tribulation.

And some monks with innocent hearts may successfully survive the inner demon tribulation even without much experience.

"Fortunately, the mental calamity of monster beasts is much weaker than that of humans."

Lu Changan murmured.

The last step in the transformation and strengthening of the Earth Rock Rat is to plan the Xuanxin Beast Pill to increase the chances of resisting the Heart Tribulation.

…

Two days later.

Yunlan Peak, the cave where the fourth-level spiritual veins are located.

On the futon, True Lord Yunlan sat quietly for three days and three nights, his eyes deep and silent for a long time, and there was a strand of Chinese hair on his temples.

"Senior Brother Lan, I offer my condolences and accept the change. Before this, we have made psychological preparations for the worst."

After making arrangements for the funeral, Zhenjun Zixia returned to her Taoist companion and comforted her softly.

For Nascent Soul monks, the experience of fellow disciples or juniors dying in the Nascent Soul Tribulation is not unfamiliar.

However, Zhenjun Yunlan invested a lot of effort in Zhenren Yunqing and placed great expectations on him.

Master Yunqing is not only his close disciple, but also his blood descendant.

"Brother, I can't figure it out. The fortune of the sect is stable and improving. Yunqing, as the immortal golden elixir, has a solid foundation and a stable state of mind. He is addicted to the path of immortality. Talent, opportunity, and luck are all there, but in the end he fell short."

True Lord Yunlan sighed and said bitterly.

In order to prevent Master Yunqing from being disturbed and contaminated by worldly desires, he prevented other female cultivators from the sect from getting close to him and causing emotional entanglements, and secretly cut off many causes and effects.

However, at the last moment, Master Yunqing became possessed and lost his soul.

No one in the outside world knows what he went through during the inner demon tribulation.

Only those who succeed and give birth to a new Nascent Soul Lord can write legendary experiences.

"The theory of luck is elusive and difficult to grasp. I can only believe it to a certain extent. Senior brother, please don't believe in it too deeply."

True Lord Zixia frowned slightly and persuaded her kindly.

"Eh! It's strange. Yunqing failed to form a baby, but the sect's luck remains the same and has not declined due to this fluctuation."

True Lord Yunlan was unmoved. He pinched his fingers and looked at the sky above the mountain gate with a look of surprise.

"Could it be that the rise of our sect's luck is not due to Yunqing, but to someone else?"

Hearing this, True Lord Zixia was slightly surprised.

It stands to reason that since True Lord Yunqing failed to form a baby, the sect's luck should have declined and fluctuated.

The two looked at each other and discussed for a long time, sorting out a rough answer.

"There is no outstanding seed of forming a baby in the next generation of our sect. At least one or two hundred years will not see a top talent comparable to True Lord Yunqing."

"Since there is no hope for the next generation, is it that the luck is with you and me, my senior brothers and sisters?"

True Lord Yunlan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Although Fairy Zixia is a Nascent Soul cultivator born from a natural spiritual root, her foundation is not deep after all. As a woman, she is not strong in fighting and lacks the courage and perseverance of the Tao.

True Lord Yunlan thought that his intelligence and strength were better than his junior sister, and the latter also successfully promoted to the Nascent Soul with her help.

He had great ambitions and wanted to lead the Yunxia Sect into a glorious and prosperous era.

Even though he failed to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul many years ago, his ambitions were not completely extinguished.

Fairy Zixia looked at her Taoist partner who had regained some fighting spirit. Although she was not optimistic, she did not pour cold water on him.

Yunlan Zhenjun failed to take the elixir that broke the level, and was seriously injured and broke an arm. His hope of further advancement was small.

In terms of potential and hope of advancement, he was actually not as good as her.

However, advancement to a higher level is the long-cherished wish of all Nascent Soul Zhenjuns, and no one is willing to give up the last ray of hope.

Zhenjun Zixia herself is no exception.

As long as the opportunity is enough, both of them have the hope of further advancement in theory.

"Now, there are only two Jindan masters left in our sect, which is a lack of successors. Sect Master Hu is old and has only 20 to 30 years left. The 'Xuefeng Zhenren' in his prime has to sit in the fairy city outside..."

Zixia Zhenjun changed the subject, his starry eyes moved, and suggested:

"Brother, why not add some burden to Master Xiang?"

"Zi Yan, what do you mean... let Sect Master Hu live out his old age, transfer back 'Xuefeng Zhenren' to take over the position of Sect Master, and let Master Xiang sit in the fairy city outside?"

Yunlan Zhenjun thought for a while and hesitated.

"Brother, do you still not trust Master Xiang? Just let him sit in Fengxia Fairy City as a deterrent, and don't manage the operation of the fairy city."

Zixia Zhenjun knew that his brother was more wary, especially of the Jindan masters who joined in the middle.

"Fengxia Fairy City is one of the important sources of income for our sect. Master Xiang has only been in our sect for 20 to 30 years, and we still need to observe him."

Yunlan Zhenjun thought for a moment, but finally did not agree.

He couldn't help but glance at his beautiful Taoist partner.

In all these years, this was the first time he saw Junior Sister Zi Yan actively recommend and promote an outsider.

It seemed that Junior Sister Zi Yan really admired Xiang Dalong.

Yun Lan Zhen Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, and on the surface he remained calm, but his vigilance and suspicion in his heart increased a little.

"Last time I heard from Junior Sister that this person was planning a chance for his spirit pet to transform?"

Yun Lan Zhen Jun asked casually.

Zi Xia Zhen Jun nodded and said, "Master Xiang is not interested in women in the sect, but he is a man of temperament. He supports his spirit pet and tries his best to do his best without any regrets."

"Haha, he can't even protect his own Nascent Soul, but he still divides his energy and money to plan a transformation for his spirit pet? Master Xiang is really stupid and admirable."

Yun Lan Zhen Jun smiled faintly and did not agree with Lu Changan's approach.

If it were him, he would definitely concentrate all resources on his own Nascent Soul, hoping to have a little more hope.

Dividing resources is a stupid act.

Yunlan Zhenjun seemed to have foreseen the tragic end of Master Xiang and his pet.

He saw through it but didn't say it, so he didn't plan to give any advice.

Master Xiang was born as a casual cultivator from a small state, and his hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage was slim.

Moreover, the promotion of a guest from outside to the Nascent Soul stage had both advantages and disadvantages for Yunxia Sect, and was not entirely a good thing.

...

Two months later.

The Yunxia Sect's mountain gate was no longer on full alert. Master Yunqing's failure to form a Nascent Soul stage did not cause much commotion in the cultivation world of Dayu.

On this day, Lu Changan took advantage of the short gap when he went out to purchase and quietly released the fourth-level Qingjia puppet.

This fourth-level puppet was led by Master Wei. When Lu Changan integrated into the second life, he could share senses and control remotely, and the distance was farther.

It was considered an advanced version of the puppet clone.

Due to the existence of Master Wei's ghost consciousness, the ability to act alone was stronger.

Lu Changan let the fourth-level puppet enter the sphere of influence of Dashe Mountain to collect intelligence and confirm the whereabouts of "Master Red Snake".

Without a high-level introduction, it is not easy to meet a Yuanying Zhenjun.

As an evil Yuanying, the Red Snake Zhenjun's whereabouts are uncertain, insidious and sharp.

If it were a ground rock rat or other puppet, there would be a risk of exposing the whereabouts of a Yuanying cultivator.

A few months later.

Based on intelligence and divination, Lu Changan determined that the Red Snake Zhenjun was not in the Big Snake Mountain, but had secretly gone out.

It is difficult to lock down a more specific whereabouts, after all, it is not a fixed target.

The whereabouts of the Yuanying Zhenjun who wandered privately are too difficult to determine.

Lu Changan took the dumbest way and let the fourth-level puppet squat near the Big Snake Mountain.

"It is difficult to say how long the Yuanying Zhenjun will be out. It can be as short as a few months, as long as several years, or even more than ten years. It is not uncommon."

Lu Changan set a time limit of five years.

If it exceeds five years, it will not be forced.

Trading with the evil Zhenjun itself has certain risks.

Secondly, the ground rock rat is at its prime age, and it is not advisable to delay too long.

He estimated that as the Supreme Elder, True Lord Red Snake would not leave the sect for too long under normal circumstances.

Lu Changan's luck is not bad.

A year and a half later, the fourth-level puppet squatting near the Big Snake Mountain sensed a red-black escaping light, which belonged to the cold aura of the evil True Lord.

True Monarch Red Snake is a thin man, about seventy years old, wearing a black robe and a large cloak, with black snake patterns on his face and bare arms. The man stepped on the escaping light, landed from Jiugang Sky, and was about to return to the mountain gate.

call out!

At this time, a dark red communication talisman came flying towards him.

This communication talisman reaches the top level of the third level, with extremely fast speed and unusual distance.

True Monarch Red Snake's consciousness swept over him, and his narrow eyes flashed with a cold and alert light.

After taking the talisman, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"A fourth-level dragon blood-painted talisman?"

True Lord Red Snake, as a master of beast control, quickly saw the clues.

Judging from his experience, the fourth-level dragon blood that drew the talisman was at least the dragon level starting from the earth-level bloodline, and might even reach the heaven-level.

This level of dragon blood material is attractive to both Dashan and the Red Nether Snake King.

Lord Red Snake investigates the content of the communication talisman.

The owner of the communication talisman is a Nascent Soul monk who is passing by Dayu Kingdom. He wants to trade the Xuanxin Beast Pill in his hand within three days.

It was mentioned in the messenger that this transaction could only be one-to-one.

If Lord Red Snake brings the Snake King of our sect, or if there are other Nascent Souls, the transaction will be canceled immediately.

"Within three days, at the edge of the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce's sphere of influence..."

True Lord Red Snake considered for a moment.

The deadline was tight and we had to rush, so there was no time for preparation and planning.

The Red Moon Chamber of Commerce has the background of the Sixteen Zhenhai Sects. It is considered a neutral and detached force in Dayu Country. It mainly engages in business and trade and does not participate in power disputes.

Trading location, no big deal.

That person didn't dare come directly to Dashan Mountain to trade. The Xuanxin Beast Pill that is in demand is not very precious to the powerful Nascent Soul stage.

It is speculated from this that his level will not be very high in the Nascent Soul stage.

True Lord Red Snake returned to Big Snake Mountain, made some arrangements, and communicated with the Red Snake King in the deep valley of the mountain for a while.

Half an hour later, he disappeared from the Great Snake Mountain without anyone noticing, and secretly rushed to the trading location.

…

Three days later.

The Red Moon Chamber of Commerce is on the edge of power.

The fleeing light shrouded in black mist was like a ferocious dragon, baring its teeth and claws, arriving at a vast loess plain.

Lord Red Snake looked down from a high altitude and found that this place was a plain with open terrain, making it difficult to set up an ambush and making it easy to escape.

Looking for traces of traders.

Suddenly, a powerful consciousness at the Nascent Soul level, accompanied by a gentle male voice, sounded in his ears.

"Fellow Red Snake Taoist Master Xu is very honored to be here."

True Lord Red Snake was slightly surprised, that divine consciousness had at least reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Compared with him who is good at controlling beasts and has powerful spiritual consciousness, he is actually on par.

Following the sound transmission from his spiritual consciousness, True Lord Red Snake quickly found the owner of the voice.

A hundred miles away, under a towering ancient tree, an elegant middle-aged man in a blue shirt sat on a rock.

His magical power is profound and unpredictable, and the spiritual pressure he exudes is like that of a Nascent Soul Lord.

"Fellow Taoist, you look strange, what do you call me?"

Lord Red Snake narrowed his eyes, slowed down and approached the middle-aged man in green shirt.

Through spiritual consciousness and psychic secrets, confirm that there are no other high-level creatures nearby.

"My surname is Xu. I am not a monk from the Central Region. I come from other realms of the Great Abyss."

The middle-aged man in blue shirt has a warm smile, and his image and temperament are the same as "Xu Xuan" in the Da Qingfeng Yuan Kingdom.

At this time, Xu Xuan has transformed into True Lord Yuanying.

In order to disguise himself as a Nascent Soul monk, Lu Changan did not hesitate to come to the fourth life of Jiuyin Monument and cooperate with Baihuan Mask.

As long as there is no fighting, his spiritual consciousness and magical aura are the same as those of Yuanying monks.

Among them, the spiritual consciousness is a genuine Nascent Soul level, stronger than the True Monarch Taoist Companion of Yunxia Sect.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu."

True Lord Red Snake settled down twenty feet away.

Lu Changan stood up, held courtesies with True Lord Red Snake, and looked at each other.

"Your Excellency possesses four levels of dragon blood. Could it be that it comes from the coastal area of ​​the Eastern Region?"

True Lord Red Snake said tentatively with a hoarse voice.

In the Great Abyss, it is well known that there are the most dragons in the sea, and they are basically of earth-grade and heaven-grade blood.

"Friend Red Snake does not need to delve into the source of the material."

The two looked at each other, and Lu Changan could not help but feel relieved when he realized that the other party had not seen any clues.

The Baihuan Mask he owns has reached the Nascent Soul level, and its disguise ability is approaching its limit.

Maybe it's a semi-finished product, maybe it's just that.

As for the transformation of Nascent Soul Lord Nascent Soul, clues may be seen through close contact.

Fortunately, Lu Changan can ensure that he can hide from the detection of ordinary Yuanying monks. At least it's enough that you can't see your original identity.

True Lord Red Snake is good at controlling beasts. In order to avoid being detected by his sense of smell and secret skills, Lu Changan came to trade this time without bringing two spiritual pets.

He even spent a year in advance to eliminate the related smell from his body.

"Okay! I would like to state in advance that there is only one fourth-level 'Xuanxin Beast Pill' in the Great Snake Mountain. This pill can stabilize the spirit of spiritual beasts and monsters, resist external demons, and help to survive the catastrophe of transformation."

"Under normal circumstances, this elixir is not for sale in Dashan Mountain! It can only be traded unless Fellow Daoist Xu comes up with something that really makes the old man excited."

True Monarch Red Snake has a withered body, strikes first, and has an old-fashioned way.

Not for sale?

Lu Changan secretly cursed that this old scumbag had displayed the Xuanxin Beast Pill at the Nascent Soul Fair many years ago.

If it is not for sale, it will not be taken out at that time.

Apparently, Lord Red Snake saw that he was a "Nascent Soul cultivator passing by from another place" and had no power to rely on, so he planned to kill him.

There is no way, the identity played by Lu Changan is a relatively weak, lone ranger Nascent Soul character. It is easy for people to suspect that he is a Nascent Soul monk who is exiled and wanted in other realms.

If not, he was worried that Lord Red Snake would ignore this transaction out of caution.

"Fellow Red Snake said bluntly, what do I need to trade the Xuanxin Beast Pill?"

Lu Changan got straight to the point.

He also limited the time for this transaction. If it is too long, beware that other reinforcements from Lord Red Snake will arrive.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu can come up with the Great Dragon Pill, he will be able to impress this old man."

True Monarch Red Snake grinned, with black snake lines on his face, faintly twisted.

"Great Dragon Pill? Fellow Taoist Red Snake is too overestimated. The dragon blood that Xu possesses was obtained by hunting together with two fellow Taoists of Nascent Soul."

Lu Changan looked worried and sneered.

True Monarch Red Snake can be described as a lion with a big mouth.

The Xuanxin Beast Pill is nothing more than an unpopular one. In terms of real value, it is far inferior to the Infant Transformation Pill or the fourth-level Jiaolong Essence Pill.

"If fellow Daoist Red Snake is so insincere and thinks Xu is a fraud, then it would be fine not to do this transaction."

After saying that, Lu Changan made a gesture to get up and leave.

"Hey, fellow Taoist Xu, don't panic. I'm just joking. If fellow Taoist Xu can really come up with the fourth-level dragon elixir, I will make other compensations and I won't suffer any loss."

Lord Red Snake quickly raised his hand and laughed to stop him.

He secretly regretted that as a free Nascent Soul in the early stage, it was indeed impossible for this person to possess the fourth-level dragon elixir.

"Fellow Taoist, please hurry up."

Lu Changan sat down unhappily and bargained with True Lord Red Snake.

After half a stick of incense, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

True Monarch Red Snake did not want to fight to the death with a Nascent Soul cultivator who did not know his roots and whose spiritual consciousness was not weak against his own.

"A bucket of purified dragon blood, a top-grade magic weapon, and a crystal-condensing pill...

"If you still can't satisfy your appetite, Xu will leave here."

In the final deal, True Monarch Red Snake took advantage and accepted it as soon as it was good.

Lu Changan was stabbed.

The amount of purified dragon blood he paid accounted for 40% of his total amount.

The high-grade magic weapon traded was the scorpion-tailed needle-shaped magic weapon obtained from the ancestor of Tianluo. It was a sinister and secretive high-grade magic weapon, and it was a high-quality product of the same level.

If activated at the same level, the scorpion tail needle-shaped magic weapon can threaten the Nascent Soul cultivator.

These two items alone are worth more than the Xuanxin Beast Pill.

In addition, another crystal condensation pill was added, which is also a high-level strategic material.

"That's all. If you suffer a loss for a while, don't worry about it."

Lu Changan's flesh ached, and he suppressed his unhappiness.

The Earth Rock Rat supplemented the Xuanxin Beast Pill, and the conditions for transformation became perfect. Thinking of this, he could only accept being slaughtered.

At least, there is no need to go through life-and-death fights and cross-level battles to successfully strengthen the last link of the rock rat's transformation.

On the plain, under the supervision of both parties' spiritual consciousness, the item transaction was successfully completed without any tricks.

"Wish Xu Daoyou good luck."

Lord Red Snake received dragon blood and other items and was in a happy mood. This high-quality fourth-level dragon blood is extremely valuable to the Great Snake Mountain of the Beast Control Sect and has many uses.

To clarify, the author has not been cheated on, and he is not spreading rumors outside to find evidence that his wife is cheating on her.

After nine years of marriage, it is normal in today's society for a marriage crisis to occur. If you make one mistake, you may get divorced.

Fortunately, we haven’t reached that point yet. After my wife had the abortion, she went to her parents' house to calm down for more than a week. Her mood became more stable and she no longer mentioned material conditions.

The wife of the shop, in the first few years of her marriage, was actually a very conscientious woman, thrifty and hard-working, except for her bad temper.

In the past few years, as a housewife, she had watched too many short videos of chicken soup, all of which were of the type that scolded men and asked them to pay. Nowadays, the mentality has changed a lot. It is said that men's love and money have to be the same.

What the future will bring, we can’t say for sure. Maybe the emotional integration is better, maybe today's events have left a foreshadowing.

However, I should be able to stabilize before I finish writing this book. Even if we can't get along, we will solve the problem after finishing the book next year.
