Chapter 370 The Last Ten Years

"... As long as Senior Sister can do it, I can allow you to do it!"

Lu Changan felt that there seemed to be some kind of obscure hint in the words.

He glanced at Zixia Zhenjun, whose demeanor was reserved and dignified, still the unattainable and graceful Supreme Elder.

Lu Changan didn't want to think too much, and followed his heart:

"Junior Brother is not short of money now, nor is he short of means to protect the Tao, but the things for forming a baby have not been gathered. If the sect has relevant reserves, I hope Senior Sister Jiang will help."

Hearing this, Zixia Zhenjun looked directly into Lu Changan's eyes and felt his firm heart.

She admired him, sighed in her heart, and a sense of unspeakable disappointment and frustration emerged.

Just now, her implicit attraction and expression should be noticed by careful people.

If Elder Xiang admired her or had "unreasonable thoughts", he should at least hesitate.

However, Elder Xiang did not hesitate at all and directly redeemed the resources for forming a baby.

"How is the preparation for the formation of the Infant Brother Xiang? What kind of materials do you need for the formation of the Infant?"

Zixia Zhenjun looked calm, but he kept his word.

"The main thing we lack is the advanced things, the main medicine of the Infant Pill. I have some spiritual objects for the formation of the Infant and the protective items for the Heart Tribulation, but they are not of the best quality, just barely enough."

Lu Changan's description concealed something.

The spiritual object for the formation of the Infant he had, [Ziwu Qingfeng], was of the best quality, obtained from the Tianluo Patriarch.

The protective item for the Heart Tribulation, [Shangqing Pill] that he had exchanged for the Earth Rock Rat in the name of the Earth Rock Rat, was saved as a backup.

The auxiliary medicines for the Infant Pill have been collected openly or secretly over the years, and exchanged by the sect, and most of them have been collected.

The three main medicines for the Infant Pill are monopolized by the Yuanying forces, and Lu Changan does not have them for the time being.

Strictly speaking, Lu Changan has an unredeemed [Tianying Fruit], which is the first of the three main medicines.

Before leaving Daqing and the Seven Nations Alliance, Lu Changan told Wang Feng, the new helmsman of Lihuo Palace, about the secret treasure house of Tianluo Sect, including the whereabouts of the [Tianying Fruit].

At that time, Lu Changan was being tracked by "Qingmu Zhenjun", and the [Tianying Fruit] would take at least a hundred years to mature, so he had no time to plan.

Therefore, he sold Wang Feng a favor and gave him the blood bead tracking object, asking him to do it for him and "keep" the [Tianying Fruit] for him first.

After arriving in Dayuan, Lu Changan divined that because the ancestor of Tianluo died, the difficulty was relatively small, and the [Tianying Fruit] was likely to be obtained by Wang Feng of Lihuo Palace.

Zixia Zhenjun pondered and said, "In the secret storage of our sect, there is a mature main medicine for forming infants [Yueluohua], and you are allowed to exchange it with the sect's contribution."

Lu Changan was delighted, this reward was full of sincerity, not perfunctory.

The so-called "private collection" is different from the sect's treasure house. It should be the sect's treasure reserve that Fairy Zixia holds privately and is not open to the public.

"May I ask, Senior Sister, how many contributions are needed to exchange for this [Moonfall Flower]?"

Lu Changan asked.

"According to the sect's ancestral precepts, only the true descendants of this sect are eligible to exchange for the core resources for the promotion to the Nascent Soul. Therefore, you must pay the full amount of 80,000 contributions for [Moonfall Flower] without any discount, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

Fairy Zixia's exception at this moment is a decision that violates the ancestral precepts.

If True Lord Yunlan was here, he would definitely oppose it firmly.

"80,000 contributions? Junior brother will try his best to collect them."

Lu Changan stopped when he saw the good.

The threshold of 80,000 contributions is indeed high, but he is not short of money, and it is not difficult to obtain contributions.

This time, guarding the mine and killing enemies will be rewarded with contributions from the sect.

The remaining contributions can be deducted with puppets.

There is no need to use fine puppets, eliminated third-level puppets, or refining new puppets with scraps, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

...

Zixia Zhenjun stayed in the mine for less than half an hour, and then set off to return to Yunxia Sect.

Lu Changan continued to guard the Tengling mine, intending to stay here for a few more years.

Guarding the mine, there are contributions and ore rewards every year, and it is convenient to obtain puppet materials.

When the puppet army formation is successfully built and 80,000 contributions are collected, Lu Changan will return to Yunxia Sect at that time.

Half a year later, Lu Changan turned 362 years old.

In the past year, his reputation in the battle of the mine spread throughout Dayu Kingdom.

Some cultivators privately discussed that Elder Xiang might be the first Jindan cultivator in Dayu Kingdom.

There are many Jindan cultivators in Dayu Kingdom, and in this era, who is the first Jindan cultivator is still undecided.

The main reason is that there is no unique one.

The last recognized first Jindan cultivator was "Tianyuan Sword Lord" before he was promoted to Yuanying, that is, Yu Yuanjin of the royal family.

Lu Changan was not interested in such false reputation, and he vaguely sensed that such remarks were instigated by someone behind the scenes.

Fortunately, no Jindan master came to challenge him for such false reputation.

Jindan late master was at least two or three hundred years old. In order to advance to Yuanying, they competed and planned, and worked hard. How could they have so much leisure time?

Unless there was a profit drive, high-level cultivators would not do such superficial and childish things.

When Lu Changan became famous, Yunxia Sect received bad news.

Yunxia Sect’s old enemy "Dashe Mountain" was celebrating and welcomed great news.

Dashe Mountain, a new Yuanying True Lord was born!

"Chi Lian True Lord is good at refining poisons and has been dealing with poisons for many years. Before he was promoted to Yuanying, he was the first poison master of Dashe Mountain."

Lu Changan soon learned about the information of the new Yuanying in Dashe Mountain.

For hundreds of years, Dashe Mountain has not produced a new Yuanying cultivator. From the perspective of the time span, it is a normal inheritance replacement.

What surprised the outside world was that the person who was promoted would be "Chi Lian Zhenjun", whose previous Taoist name was Chi Lian Zhenren.

Because, among the competitors, this person's aptitude is not the best, and he is older.

It is said that the age of Chi Lian Zhenjun when he was promoted to Yuanying is 377 years old.

The average age of the promoted people in the Yuanying sect is about 300 years old.

Some people with natural spiritual roots, plus the resources of the sect, can successfully promote to Yuanying at the age of 200 or so.

The age of 300 years old is the heyday of Jindan Zhenren, just like the prime of life for mortals.

After all, immortal cultivators are not true immortals with the same life span as the heaven and earth, and the mortal body cannot completely escape the natural law of birth, aging, illness and death.

After the age of 350, the probability of forming a baby will decline significantly.

After the age of 400, there is little hope.

The outside world speculates that the promotion of Chi Lian Zhenjun to Yuanying may be related to the opportunity gained by Chi She Zhenjun in the Ancient Nether Palace.

The last time the Ancient Nether Palace was opened, it was extraordinary, with more opportunities, and even spiritual treasures appeared.

Yuanying cultivators who survived the fighting game have more or less opportunities.

There are all kinds of strange spiritual creatures in the world. Perhaps what True Lord Chi Snake got was more in line with the poison refining technique, so he chose True Lord Chi Lian at that time.

There is another saying: True Lord Chi Lian is talented in refining poisons, and he has made great contributions in the past. He prepared a fourth-level poison, so he was treated preferentially with resources.

"It's interesting. The age of True Lord Chi Lian when he was trying to reach the Nascent Soul is almost close to the age I expected."

Lu Changan was also surprised.

After all, this person is not practicing health-preserving skills, but poison skills that are easy to shorten life.

In addition, Lu Changan has no feelings about the new Nascent Soul of Dashe Mountain.

True Lord Zixia will definitely have a headache and feel pressure.

True Lord Chi Snake of Dashe Mountain, as an old-fashioned Nascent Soul, is stronger than her.

The Red Ghost Snake King of the sect has lived longer and is said to be stronger than True Lord Chi Snake.

Now there is another new Nascent Soul who is good at refining poison.

From this point on, the strength of the sect of Dashe Mountain has surpassed Yunxia Sect in all aspects.

...

In a blink of an eye, Lu Changan has been guarding the mine for another five years.

Since defeating the invaders of the Ye family, the operation of the Tengling mine no longer requires the Jindan Daxiu to guard it personally.

It is a waste for the sect to pay more salary.

But Lu Changan refused to leave, and Yunxia Sect could not mobilize him.

Fortunately, when Lu Changan was 368 years old, he finally built the planned puppet army formation.

The puppet army formation consists of four third-level upper-grade puppets and twelve third-level middle-grade puppets.

A total of sixteen puppets formed an army formation, and the puppet power was integrated into the formation power. The positional battle can resist the attack of the early Yuanying.

Of course, the limitation of the puppet army formation is that it is only suitable for positional battles or defensive counterattacks, and lacks the mobility of the Yuanying Zhenjun.

Yuanying cultivators come and go as they please, and the puppet army formation for positional battles cannot limit them.

However, if the alien spirit peacock is used as the core to lead the entire puppet formation, this problem can be solved to a certain extent.

The strength of the Peacock Spirit is beyond that of ordinary quasi-fourth-order puppets. Once integrated into the puppet formation, its power can be greatly improved.

Since there is no place to test, it is difficult to say the specific combat power.

However, Lu Changan is still somewhat confident that the puppet army formation with the Peacock Spirit as the core can defeat the True Lord Zixia.

After completing the puppet army formation, Lu Changan used up all the third-order puppet refining materials in recent years, and even recovered some materials from magic weapon spoils for this.

It is worthwhile to spend huge resources.

Now, even if there is no Di Yanjun around, and there is no need for the fourth life to come, Lu Changan can compete with the True Lord Yuanying with his puppet skills alone.

"The 80,000 contributions are also collected, and I can return to the sect to exchange for the main medicine of the Infant Pill."

Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

He has achieved unexpected results in the past few years in the Tengling Mine.

In the future, his entire focus will be on preparing for the Infant Formation.

...

A few days later, Lu Changan was successfully transferred back to the Yunxia Sect, and the Tengling Mine was guarded by another mid-stage Jindan.

After returning to the sect, Lu Changan's first thing was not to visit Di Yanjun, but to pay a visit to Zixia Zhenjun.

It was not to show respect, but to exchange [Moonfall Flower] as soon as possible.

Delay would lead to changes.

Even if [Moonfall Flower] is the least valuable of the three main medicines of Huaying Pill, it is a strategic resource monopolized by Yuanying Sect.

As the main medicine for forming infants, the difference from auxiliary medicine is that if a cultivator takes it directly, it can at least slightly increase the chance of being promoted to Yuanying.

Among them, [Heavenly Infant Fruit] has the best effect, while the other two main medicines [Mi Luo Grass] and [Moonfall Flower] are much inferior, and taking them directly has only a weak effect on forming infants.

Zixia Peak Cave.

After a while, Lu Changan saw Zixia Zhenjun.

Different from the usual luxurious purple fairy skirt.

Jiang Ziyan changed into a homely white gauze plain skirt today, and her wet hair fell like clouds. Just out of the bath, Fairy Zixia's white skin was as white as cream, moist and rosy, and the beautiful curve of her chest was tightly attached to the white gauze skirt, and the outline was looming.

Lu Changan bowed to greet her, restraining his gaze to avoid offending her.

He felt strange in his heart, and inexplicably remembered his concubine Guan Qiaozhi in this life, who had seduced him in a similar gauze skirt in Huanglong Fairy City.

Could it be that Fairy Zixia, who was famous in the Central Region, had some plans for him?

Lu Changan's mind was racing. He was far away in a foreign land, and he must protect himself.

Fortunately, True Lord Zixia was just showing off his charm and behaving dignifiedly, and did not go beyond etiquette.

After learning the purpose of Lu Changan's visit, True Lord Zixia sent a message and gave instructions.

Not long after, Hu Ang, who was tall and handsome, took a flower plant that was flowing silver under the moon from the forbidden area of ​​​​the cave garden.

[Moonfall Flower] is planted all year round in the spiritual fields of the fourth-level spiritual veins to maintain its activity. It is impossible for True Lord Zixia to carry it with her all the time.

If a spiritual medicine of this level does not have a fourth-level spiritual vein, it will be difficult to survive and its growth will be extremely slow.

In the fourth-level spiritual veins, it takes a thousand years to mature; in the lower spiritual vein medicine field, it takes several times, or even ten times more time.

Therefore, even if ordinary forces and monks get the seeds, it will be difficult to cultivate them.

Hu Ang?

Lu Changan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this person, even though he was the direct disciple of Zhenjun Zixia.

True Lord Zixia handed [Moonfall Flower] to Lu Changan and explained with a smile:

"The old spiritual plant disciple who used to take care of the medicinal fields of Dongfu, Xiao Ang, happened to be familiar with medicinal spiritual plants, so he took the initiative to take care of it. Unexpectedly, he took care of it well."

"I see, Xiao Ang is versatile and is a rare good talent."

Lu Changan put away the [Moonfall Flower] and praised it.

Hu Ang entered the main hall of the cave and saw the hazy and charming Zixia Zhenjun in a white gauze dress. His eyelids jumped slightly.

He knew very well that the Taoist monk was a dignified and reserved female cultivator who almost never wore such sexy and hazy clothes.

When he saw the [Moonfall Flower] and handed it over to Xiang Dalong, Hu Ang was very dissatisfied.

Xiao Ang?

Hearing Xiang Dalong's name, Hu Ang was shocked and angry, but he did not dare to show it.

And try your best to suppress your emotions to avoid being sensed.

"Elder Xiang is full of praise."

A smile appeared on Hu Ang's face. Given his status, it was not suitable for him to stay any longer, so he bowed and retreated sensibly.

After leaving the main hall of the cave, Hu Ang took a deep breath and suppressed the gloom in his heart.

"With Ziyan's character, she shouldn't betray the true Lord!"

"Nowadays, the Big Snake Mountain is huge and threatening, and the royal family has bad intentions. It is understandable that Zi Yan can't stand alone, so she condescends to condescend to Xiang Dalong to show her closeness."

After rational analysis, Hu Ang understood the Taoist couple's difficulties, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated.

"Fortunately, this big dragon is devoted to hard work, only interested in profit, and not close to women."

…

After exchanging [Moonfall Flower], True Lord Zixia spontaneously mentioned something related to Lord Diyan.

"Senior sister once brought a few third-level spirit rats with good bloodline to Mr. Diyan to keep him company and to relieve his loneliness."

"However, Mr. Diyan has never had a child in the past few years. He invited several famous doctors to check and found no physical symptoms."

Third-level spirit rats with good bloodlines are rare. Zhenjun Zixia has many connections through this sect, half of which are on loan.

The Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the fourth level Demon King, and the mutated bloodline it possesses is extremely precious.

True Lord Zixia did this not just for breeding and obtaining excellent spirit rat bloodline.

If you can give birth to a bloodline heir, it will enhance the Earth Rock Rat's sense of belonging to the sect.

What makes Jiang Ziyan depressed is.

Lord Diyan did not refuse the companionship of the spirit rats, and drained the male spirit rats dry, making them unable to escape one by one. However, Lord Diyan never conceived an heir, which was a huge disappointment.

"This is not Junior Brother's order. In the past three hundred years, before coming to Dayuan, Lord Diyan has always been like this."

Lu Changan smiled and said truthfully.

Zhou Qingxuan of the Zhou Family of Animal Control once said that the behavior of the rock rat is likely to be subtly influenced by its owner.

"Both of your lords and pets have left no heirs, which is rare in the world of immortality."

True Lord Zixia pursed her lips and chuckled, joking, and no longer dwelled on the matter.

While the two were chatting.

Whoops!

A ball of violent flying sand, exuding a huge earth evil aura, wrapped around the half-demon rat-man Lord Earth Rock, and arrived at Zixia Peak.

Mr. Diyan was wearing a purple robe. Compared with his slim figure many years ago, his face was rounder and his figure was a little fatter.

"The master is back."

Seeing Lu Changan, Lord Diyan was in a happy mood and made a human voice like a half-grown child.

"I have gained a lot of weight. Are you lazy in your practice?"

Lu Changan smiled and patted Mr. Diyan on the head.

Mr. Diyan was about the same height as him. Seeing Lu Changan reach out his hand, he bowed his head in cooperation, looking a little guilty.

Compared with the diligent and hard training in the past, Lord Diyan, as the sacred beast of the sect, is served by others, has no shortage of resources, and lives a very comfortable life.

Although I have not slackened in my practice, it is still not as strenuous as before.

Lu Changan had no objection to this.

Lord Diyan's promotion to the Transformed Demon King was already a miracle due to many random opportunities.

Its bloodline qualifications have been drained to the extreme. No matter how hard it tries, it will be difficult to reach a higher realm.

After working hard for so many years, there is nothing wrong with enjoying it now.

…

"Senior Sister Jiang, after returning this time, Junior Brother plans to go on a long trip in the future to various places in the Central Region to plan other resources for infants."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Changan revealed his future plans in advance so that Lord Zixia could make arrangements.

"How many years will it take for you to reach the peak of elixir formation?"

True Lord Zixia couldn't help but look at Lu Changan.

"About ten years."

Lu Changan is very familiar with his cultivation progress, and he estimates that he will reach the peak of the late Jindan period at around 380 years old.

True Lord Zixia calculated the time and suggested:

"Two years later, the auction that takes place once every ten years in Yuntian City will come. At that time, Nascent Soul monks from all over the Central Region will gather. If Junior Brother Xiang is not in a hurry, he can go with Senior Sister at that time. I believe he will gain something."

"Junior brother has this intention for Yuntian City's ten-year auction."

Lu Changan readily agreed.

Twenty or thirty years ago, he went to Yuntian City for the first time and traded for the treasure of Huajie at the Yuanying Exchange.

This created conditions for the success of the transformation of the rock rat later.

At the auction, Lu Changan was not strong enough and did not dare to be too high-profile, so his harvest was average.

Now, Lu Changan's strength and status have greatly improved. Going to Yuntian City again, he has a better chance of getting resources for the formation of the infant than other places.

Moreover, Yuntian City is also the place where Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng contacted.

…

After returning to Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan practiced quietly for another two years.

Except for occasional talismans and divination, puppets and body refining were temporarily put on hold.

Puppet, the materials are exhausted, and there is not much room for improvement.

Body refining, staying at the peak of the third level for many years, can not be improved.

Affected by the environment of heaven and earth, it is much more difficult to advance from body refining to the fourth level than to the formation of the infant.

After the formation of the infant, you can also seek external objects such as the infant transformation pill and the treasure of Huajie.

And the treasures of heaven and earth for the advancement of body refining to the fourth level are almost extinct in today's era.

The only heavenly treasure Lu Changan had that could help him advance to the fourth level of body refining was the [Blood Dragon Fruit], but it was far from enough.

This was the compensation Jing Wufeng gave him after the "dividend" when he came out of the Ancient Palace.

Therefore, the advancement of body refining to the fourth level can only be left after the achievement of the Nascent Soul in the future, and it may not be done.

"Three hundred and eighty years old, the last ten years are left."

On this day, Lu Changan completed his routine training and felt that the evergreen mana in his body was approaching the limit of the Golden Core Stage.

On that day, Zixia Zhenjun sent a message through his consciousness, and the two were ready to set off for Yuntian City, the first fairy city in the Central Region.

"I hope that this trip to Yuntian City will make progress."

Lu Changan murmured to himself and flew out of the cave.

He had gathered all kinds of resources for the formation of the Nascent Soul.

In the last ten years, he planned to gather the remaining parts to ensure that when he reached the peak of the Golden Core, he could impact the Nascent Soul at any time.
