Chapter 369 Fairy Reward

Two days later, Tengling Mine.

Lu Changan, who was "recuperating" in Yinzhu Pavilion, received heavy news from the outside world.

Hu Ang and Yumei, who had not yet left, gathered in Yinzhu Pavilion.

"The Ye family's spirit ship was destroyed...Elder Ye Xiang died? What happened? Is the news true?"

Lu Changan looked shocked and stared at Master Xiuyu who had finished his report.

"I have repeatedly confirmed that the intelligence information is reliable."

Master Xiuyu had just calmed down his mind, his face was rosy and his tone was slightly encouraging.

Then she described the specific content of the intelligence.

"The five-color peacock of Tianpin bloodline is suspected to have reached the fourth level? Is it a chance factor, or has the Ye family offended someone?"

Lu Changan muttered to himself doubtfully and fell into deep thought.

Hu Ang paid attention to Lu Changan's expression and shook his head secretly, denying the unrealistic association.

"If Xiang Dalong also raised a five-color peacock of Tianpin bloodline and practiced in Yunxia Sect for decades, there would be no sign of it."

When he first received the news, Juan had many suspicious targets.

Mainly the forces around Dayu that are good at controlling beasts.

Big Snake Mountain? The spiritual pets cultivated by this force are mainly snakes, insects and animals, with fewer birds, unless they are secret weapons.

Dashan is unlikely to help Yunxia Sect deal with the Ye family.

The two power camps adjacent to Dayu Kingdom, Baqishan Mountain and Daluo Kingdom, both have powerful beast-controlling forces, but the fourth-level five-color peacock has never been heard of.

"Anyway, this is good news for us."

"It involves the fourth-level five-color peacock. Such a terrifying legendary creature must be extremely cautious. If you delve too deeply into it, you may cause disaster."

Lu Changan spoke cautiously, and finally set the tone on the matter, which was recognized by the three real people present.

"Elder Xiang, that mysterious five-color peacock is hard to tell whether it is friend or foe, and may not have left the surrounding area. Should the vigilance be increased at the Tengling Mine?"

Master Xiuyu knew some details of the peacock disaster, and felt an unknown terror in his heart.

"Moot."

Lu Changan shook his head: "However, I think that the five-color peacock alarmed the Nascent Soul of Dayu Kingdom, so he should not dare to commit any more crimes."

"Elder Xiang's words make sense."

Hu Ang and Yumei Zhenren agreed with Lu Changan's speculation.

Having said that.

On the same day, the two alchemy monks supported by Hu Ang and Yumei quickly withdrew from the sect.

There is a fourth-level formation at the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate, and there are also fourth-level holy beasts stationed there, so they are not afraid of the five-color peacocks.

…

"The special nature of the supernatural peacock puppet, and the level of the monks on the scene, really can't tell the truth."

After seeing off several real people, a smile appeared on Lu Changan's lips.

The framework of the supernatural peacock was originally based on the five-color peacock of the Peacock Saint, and many fourth-level treasures were subsequently added.

Those survivors dare not look directly, and their spiritual consciousness cannot discern the truth.

The place where the Five-Colored Peacock started was at the outer edge of the Ye family's influence, and the area under the Ye family's jurisdiction covered most of Liang Guoda.

One of the true kings of the Ye family went to the royal family to negotiate. There was only one Nascent Soul in the family, so it was impossible to follow him regardless of the cost.

Most probably don't have the guts.

If that five-color peacock reaches the fourth level, it will be impossible to defeat by ordinary Nascent Soul in its early stage.

Lu Changan dared to take action based on his judgment of the situation.

at dusk.

Lu Changan closed his eyes and made contact with the "Special Peacock" hidden thousands of miles away.

Before this operation, Lu Changan let the shadow of his second soul merge with the supernatural peacock to act like a puppet clone.

This kind of puppet clone is Lu Changan's unique method, which is difficult for the outside world to imagine.

The supernatural peacock clone hiding in the mountains and deep valleys has already sorted out the harvest and destroyed suspicious objects.

One of the storage bags is from a strange-faced man from a third-level mid-level puppet master.

The three wolf puppets used by the strange-faced man before are all in the storage bag and are basically intact. In addition, there are two third-level puppets.

There are five trophies of third-level puppets alone, which shows that the strange-faced man has some background or an extraordinary opportunity.

Lu Changan was rather attracted by the puppet attack technique mastered by this person.

"found it."

Through the puppet clone, Lu Changan consulted a jade slip, which recorded the "Joint Attack Puppet Book", the secret technique of puppet inheritance.

Even if there is no jade slip inheritance in the storage bag, Lu Changan still has a backup plan. When the man with the strange face was killed, the supernatural peacock ingested the remaining soul of the man with the strange face.

"It's a bit interesting. This combined attack method draws on the combined attack principle of human monks' homologous skills."

After Lu Changan had a preliminary understanding, he was very interested.

However, we also discovered the limitations of the puppet joint attack strategy.

First, the source of materials is strict, they must be complete sets of puppets, and the materials are the same or from the same source.

Similar to a set of mother-in-law magic weapons made of the same material, they can only be found but not found.

Secondly, it places a heavy burden on spiritual consciousness and requires exquisite puppet control skills.

A crude understanding means that micro-management requirements are extremely high.

With the strange-faced man's accomplishments, he has reached his limit by controlling a third-level mid-level puppet and two third-level low-level puppets.

"Hey! This puppet joint attack inheritance seems to have been passed down from 'Da Kun'."

From the records on the jade slips, Lu Changan found some clues and came to a conclusion.

Although the inheritance of jade slips is not stated explicitly, it is described sideways.

In addition, the inherited written language has the characteristics of Dakun dialect.

The world of immortality has had a common language since ancient times, but the languages ​​of each world are subdivided and it is inevitable to incorporate local elements and characteristics.

Because the immortal cultivation family that Lu Changan was born into in his second life was in Dakun, he could perceive it keenly.

"Well, Dakun is near Dayuan. For tens of thousands of years, the inheritance resources have been exchanged, which is not surprising."

Lu Changan thought of the relevant map information in the memory of "Chahai Zhenjun" and was soon relieved.

At the level above Yuanying, crossing different state boundaries is not a secret.

If the state boundaries are not too far away and the danger is not too dangerous, it can be crossed in the early stage of Yuanying.

In the Kunzhou of the previous life, there are two ties for Lu Changan.

One is the Xu family of the previous life, and I don't know if it exists.

The other is "Ancient Wood Evergreen Gong", which was obtained from the mysterious cave of Dakun in the previous life. Lu Changan only grabbed half of it.

After cultivating to the Yuanying stage, Lu Changan had no subsequent exercises.

...

Lu Changan opened Elder Ye's storage bag again, and there were some small surprises.

"Tsk tsk, the most precious part of the fine ore that the Ye family plundered in the Tengling Mine basically fell into the hands of this person."

Lu Changan harvested a pile of precious third-level ore.

In addition to the ore, the magic weapons of the two True Dan monks, Lu Changan, as a third-level upper-grade weapon refiner, can also recycle the materials.

Lu Changan accepted this "stolen money" with a smile, and the layout of the puppet army formation can be greatly advanced.

"It's really comfortable to bully weak people, and killing people and stealing treasures accumulates quickly."

Lu Changan was satisfied with the results of the attack by the Peacock this time.

Of course, this kind of behavior can only be done occasionally, and it's natural to make a profit.

The target of the attack is the hostile force again, so there will be no psychological burden.

...

Dayu Imperial City, Yunxia Sect's resident.

In the picturesque waterside pavilion, two graceful figures, one purple and one red, with long skirts trailing the ground, elegant and outstanding, stood side by side.

"Zi Yan, you and Yuan Jin are a perfect match, and you admire each other. If you can achieve a good marriage, it will be of great benefit to Yunxia Sect and your personal cultivation."

The red-clad female cultivator beside Master Zixia is named "Master Hongxiu", about 24 or 25 years old, with a face like a jade plate, elegant and dignified, and her words and deeds reveal the nobility of a superior.

"Senior Brother Yunlan has only been dead for a few years, and the real murderer has not been found yet. How can Zi Yan..."

Master Zixia sighed and declined politely.

"Don't use Yunlan as a shield. You broke up with him and didn't have a true Taoist couple relationship. I know that."

"Listen to my advice. Yu Yuanjin is the best among the current Yuanying of the royal family. In a few hundred years, when the old generation retires, he is likely to become the leader of the Dayu royal family."

"If you two become Taoist couples, the royal family will take care of Yunxia Sect in the future. In the negotiations with the Ye family in a few days, I, as a mediator, will definitely not let you suffer."

Hongxiu Zhenjun gave many hints in his words.

Facing this kind and friendly female Yuanying of the royal family, Fairy Zixia was secretly alert and responded carefully.

Hongxiu Zhenjun is the cousin of the current Emperor Yu according to blood relationship. She has always been the trusted confidant of Emperor Yu and the chief steward of the royal family.

If it is for his own selfish desires, Zixia Zhenjun knows that Yu Yuanjin is a good choice for a Taoist partner.

With Yu Yuanjin's excellence, the combination of the two may have the hope of jointly ruling the Dayu Kingdom in the future.

The chance of obtaining the royal family's treasured resources and being promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is also higher than that of ordinary forces.

However, the dowry behind this is the Yunxia Sect.

Jiang Ziyan, who has been cultivating and growing up in the Yunxia Sect since childhood, does not want the sect's lineage to fall into the hands of others and be swallowed up by the royal family.

Revitalizing and protecting the sect is the common ambition of her and her senior brother.

The two had made a vow before their master's death and in front of the tablets of their previous masters.

"Emperor Yu promised that the royal family would not interfere in the affairs of the Yunxia Sect and maintain the independence of its lineage..."

Hongxiu Zhenjun smiled sweetly, obviously knowing the concerns of Zixia Zhenjun.

During the conversation, Zixia Zhenjun turned his eyes and waved to take a communication talisman flying from a distance.

The two Zhenjuns talked, and the cultivators in the resident would never disturb them unless it was urgent and important information.

Hmm?

Zixia Zhenjun's consciousness received the content in the communication talisman. After a brief surprise, his starry eyes flashed with a strange look and his lips slightly pursed.

The exciting news from Tengling Mine eliminated her passive situation before the negotiation and gave her unexpected bargaining chips.

Otherwise, she refused the matchmaking of the royal family, and she would definitely not get any "favorable treatment" in the subsequent negotiations and coordination.

The Ye family, one of the four great families, has always had an alliance with the Dayu royal family.

Within the scope permitted by the rules, the royal family's inclination will obviously affect the distribution of resource benefits.

"Sister Yan has the lucky general 'Xiang Dalong', which is really enviable."

Hongxiu Zhenjun sighed lightly, she touched the trembling jade bracelet on her wrist, and also received intelligence from the royal family.

The Tie clan leader "Tie Danxin" supported by the Ye family was killed by Elder Xiang, and the Ye family camp was defeated and evacuated, and the general situation was over.

Afterwards, the bizarre "Peacock Disaster" made the Ye family even worse, and almost lost the possibility of a comeback.

"Elder Xiang is indeed the lucky star of our sect."

Zixia Zhenjun smiled happily, thinking of the decades since Xiang Dalong joined, Yunxia Sect has had good luck.

In addition to the death of his Taoist partner, the sect gave birth to a Jindan master, an immortal Jindan, and a half-step Jindan.

In the sect, a fourth-level holy beast was born, barely making up for the top combat power of the Taoist partner's death.

This time, the victory established by Elder Xiang allowed her to take the absolute initiative in the next negotiations.

……

The news from Tengling Mine made True Lord Hongxiu not in the mood to "matchmake" here, and he quickly said goodbye and left.

Watching her back as she went away, True Lord Zixia stood there, thinking deeply for a long time.

I don't know what she thought of, but her joy was diluted a little.

"I am the only female Yuanying left in Yunxia Sect. As long as I am single and no other Yuanying is born in the Daotong, the Dayu Royal Family will probably not easily give up the idea of ​​matchmaking."

Jiang Ziyan's eyes showed worry. Since she took charge of the sect, she has always been uneasy.

Although the sect has a fourth-level holy beast, acting as a Yuanying combat force, it is an outsider after all, and the sense of belonging to Yunxia Sect is far less than that of her and Senior Brother Yunlan.

After Elder Xiang was transferred to the mine, True Lord Zixia got along with Di Yanjun, who had no dependence on her and lacked awe and obedience.

Di Yanjun was only loyal to Elder Xiang, and they were like father and daughter, so it was difficult to cultivate feelings with her.

In this uneasy situation, she is also facing the covetousness of the Dayu royal family.

True Lord Zixia suspects that the Ye family's fight for the mine may be pushed by the royal family behind the scenes to force her to submit.

She also saw that the royal family wanted to match Xiang Dalong and Princess Zhiwei.

In the battle at the mine, Xiang Dalong defeated Ye Fanchen, the heir of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and became more and more dazzling. In addition, he has a fourth-level spiritual pet, and he will inevitably be poached by major forces in the Central Region in the future.

In the final analysis, Xiang Dalong is a guest who joined the Yunxia Sect in the middle, and there is a "crack" to be dug.

In the current situation, Fairy Zixia actually knows that there is a nearly perfect solution.

As long as she and Xiang Dalong become Taoist partners, these problems will be solved.

By then, Xiang Dalong and Di Yanjun will become their own people, truly bound to the Yunxia Sect, and there is no need to worry about being poached.

After they became Taoist couples, the Dayu royal family would no longer match her with Yu Yuanjin, and Yunxia Sect would have one less major flaw.

She had always admired Xiang Dalong's personality, talent and ability, but she didn't have that kind of admiration for him.

Nothing is perfect, and this shortcoming is not a big deal.

However, as a Yuanying Zhenjun and the well-known Zixia Fairy in the Central Region, it was difficult for her to let go of her reserve and express such feelings to a cultivator of a lower realm.

If Xiang Dalong refused, how would the two get along in the future, how embarrassing would it be?

Therefore, this matter could only be realized unless Xiang Dalong took the initiative to pursue her or confessed to her.

...

Half a month later.

Lu Changan was still recovering in the mine, and had not left Yinzhu Pavilion.

A few days ago, he was wary of the Yuanying Zhenjun who was in charge of the Ye family, investigating the whereabouts of the "Five-Colored Peacock" and finding it here, so he had not let the alien peacock come back.

Fortunately, the Yuanying clan leader of the Ye family only symbolically searched within the Ye family's sphere of influence for a few days, but there was no substantial breakthrough, and the search ended in vain.

This result was within Lu Changan's expectations.

The disaster faced by the third-level spirit ship caused the loss of two True Dan cultivators, among whom the strange-faced man was a guest official.

In fact, the Ye family only lost a middle-stage Jindan cultivator and a group of middle- and lower-level cultivators.

For a force like Jinyun Valley, it was a serious injury.

For a family of the size of the Ye family, it was not an unacceptable heavy loss.

If they were to become enemies with a mysterious fourth-level heavenly peacock for this, the gains would not outweigh the losses.

Even if the two Yuanyings of the Ye family joined forces, they could not do anything to the real fourth-level heavenly five-color peacock, and they could not catch up with it in terms of speed alone.

For the bizarre appearance of the five-color peacock, various forces had a rough guess.

Either it was the hidden trump card of the Yunxia Sect.

Or it was a fourth-level spirit bird passing by nearby and eating a snack, which was an accidental behavior.

The latter was more recognized.

Because the Great Abyss is close to the sea, sometimes big monsters come to the land to commit crimes, plundering and eating some two-legged beasts.

This situation is more common near the coast and islands.

After making sure that the Ye family did not pursue further, Lu Changan quietly went out and brought back the strange peacock and the spoils.

...

Two months later.

The result of the mediation between Yunxia Sect and the Ye family in the royal family came.

The Tengling Mine belonged to Yunxia Sect, and the Ye family suffered a lot and did not share the expected industrial benefits.

On this day, Lu Changan, who was comprehending the inheritance of puppet joint attack, suddenly sensed a huge breath of the Nascent Soul Stage, approaching the Tengling Mine.

Soon, a cloud of light descended from the sky to the mine.

"Greetings to the Supreme Elder!"

Surrounded by the misty light, the dreamy and slender figure of Fairy Zixia fell to the central area of ​​the bamboo forest in the mine.

Lu Changan and Xiu Yu Zhenren stepped forward to greet and welcome Zhenjun Zixia.

"In the previous battle, Tengling Mine performed commendably. I came here specially to see it after returning from the royal negotiations."

Zixia Zhenjun praised slightly, dismissed everyone, and talked with Lu Changan alone.

Inside Yinzhu Pavilion.

"Jiang Senior Sister overpowered the Ye family and won the royal negotiations, which is gratifying."

Lu Changan invited Fairy Zixia to the seat of honor and prepared to make tea for the guests.

"Junior Brother Xiang is the real hero."

Zixia Zhenjun smiled and stopped Lu Changan's action.

She took out the fourth-level spiritual tea, stood up slowly, like a lady from a noble family, and personally made tea for Lu Changan.

Washing hands, boiling tea, sealing the pot, smelling the fragrance... The whole process is elegant and natural, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Junior Brother, please taste the tea."

After a while, Jiang Ziyan served a cup of clear tea, opened her red lips lightly, blew away the boiling hot air, and made her bright smile dyed with the red rhyme of the morning glow.

This gesture made Lu Changan stunned.

Today's Fairy Zixia is extremely beautiful and extraordinary.

She looks like a fairy walking out of a painting, with her temples held high, her neck stretched out, her eyes as bright as stars, wearing a purple fairy skirt that stretches to the floor, surrounded by silk ribbons, with a faint fragrance floating around.

The unparalleled beauty of the Jurchen King seems unattainable, but the action of serving tea has a down-to-earth feeling of intimacy.

There seems to be a vague expectation in the gentleness and subtlety.

“Good tea!”

Lu Changan took the tea cup and felt the fragrance of the tea, not only the fragrance of tea, but also the quiet and timeless fragrance of Zixia Fairy. He took a sip and felt as ethereal as a dream.

"If Junior Brother Xiang likes it, he can often come to Senior Sister's cave to taste it."

Fairy Zixia smiled, raised her sleeves, and refilled Lu Changan's glass.

Lu Changan was flattered and thought to himself, what kind of ecstasy medicine did this Jurchen sell today?

This kind of contrast and implicit beauty from the upper-level Nascent Soul Fairy, despite his experience and determination, he can still control it.

Fortunately, after the Lord Zixia served tea, he returned to his seat, restored his usual dignified demeanor, and asked about the details of the battle in the mine.

Fairy Zixia did not doubt Lu Changan about the five-color peacock.

After praising him again, Zixia Zhenjun's eyebrows relaxed, he was in a good mood, and he promised to reward:

"Junior Brother Xiang has made great achievements in the Tengling Mine. If you want any reward, just ask. As long as Senior Sister is within your ability, I will grant it to you!"
