Chapter 383 Visitors From the East
After leaving the customs, Lu Changan immediately went to Zixia Peak to visit True Monarch Zixia to show his respect.
A century ago, Lu Changan came to the Great Abyss for the first time. Thanks to this woman's acceptance and care, he successfully integrated into this cultivation world, and both his master and his beloved reached the level of Nascent Soul.
Now that he has been promoted to the Nascent Soul Stage, Lu Changan naturally wants to express his gratitude and give back to Fairy Zixia.
"Xiang Zhenjun invites you."
Hu Ang stood guard in front of the cave door, bowed and raised his hand.
The maids in the cave greeted her with smiles, and they did not retreat silently until Lu Changan entered the Supreme Elder's chamber.
Compared to the previous trysts, now it was a bit blatant. Perhaps this is more in line with the interests of Yunxia Sect.
"The dragon is out of seclusion!"
A melodious and charming voice came, containing the meaning of surprise and joy.
The half-open cloud-white curtains are hazy and fragrant.
Fairy Zixia is sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, her green hair is like a waterfall, her neck is long and elegant, and her waist is as plain as usual. That flawless white body was shrouded in a faint purple haze, as if in a blooming lotus pond, as beautiful as a dream.
Lu Changan's head jumped slightly. This Jurchen was actually wearing a translucent purple gauze skirt that outlined her plump curves. The fragrant shoulders and arms like snow lotus roots, and the long legs as delicate as jade are half-hidden and half-revealed in the thin gauze skirt.
The Zixia Fairy at the moment must be both fairy and charming.
"Hey! What kind of technique is Fairy Jiang practicing? A certain family seems to have arrived unluckily and disturbed Fairy's practice."
Lu Changan sensed it briefly and said with a half-smile.
"Hmph! The dragon came at the right time. If this technique is to be perfected, it requires the merging of yin and yang."
Jiang Ziyan opened her lavender star-like eyes and said with anger on her pink face.
"Then let's talk about Tao."
Lu Chang'an spoke righteously, leaned into the curtain, and sat face to face with Fairy Zixia, discussing the Yin and Yang Avenue together.
Perhaps it was the dental bed from last time, but this time it was replaced with a jade bed made of hard material, suitable for practicing martial arts and discussing Taoism.
The white curtains fluttered, and the fragrant wind blew, vaguely revealing a small foot like snow jade, with a tight arch and a graceful upward slope.
Fairy Zixia's beautiful singing voice makes people's blood boil and their fighting spirit high.
Even if it wasn't the first time, Lu Changan couldn't put it down because of the soul-stirring delicacy and pliability of Fairy Nascent Soul's ice jade body.
Just like a super high-end dancer, the vertical one-line horse is a trivial matter.
Surprisingly, the Yunxia Sect belongs to a side sect of cultivating immortals, and its yin and yang secret skills and charm skills belong to the normal inheritance.
In the past, Fairy Zixia, as a high-ranking true monarch, was somewhat reserved, unable to let go of her figure, and disdain to be so vulgar.
But this time, the two of them really discussed Taoism and practiced Yin and Yang Tantra.
Pursue a higher realm of unity of soul and body.
Lu Changan realized that after being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and revealing her true appearance and temperament, Fairy Zixia truly opened her heart to him.
Maybe it's also due to a sense of crisis.
This Jurchen monarch completely let go of his previous noble and reserved nature, and was always pandering and charming in his discussions.
Although the two of them had a warm and affectionate relationship in the past, they were in love with each other.
At that time, Fairy Zixia lacked true admiration for Xiang Dalong and was condescending.
Now, he felt the attachment and admiration of Fairy Zixia.
Both body and mind are as obedient as a well-behaved cat.
At least this is the case when it comes to discussing Taoism.
Lu Changan thought of the scene in the Heart Demon Tribulation and couldn't help but do a little testing.
As a result, this superior Jurchen, after a brief period of shame and desire, obeyed and unlocked various unspeakable postures.
The devil from outside the territory, I will not deceive you if you are sincere!
Lu Changan gained unprecedented satisfaction from discussing with Fairy Jiang this time.
…
After one day and one night.
After bathing, Lu Changan and Jiang Ziyan put on clean robes and chatted lazily and relaxedly.
"Da Long has now been promoted to Nascent Soul. His status as a guest elder may be a bit condescending. Is Da Long interested in serving as the great elder of our sect? He is in charge of the sect's preaching, medicine garden, mining and other industries."
Jiang Ziyan put on an elegant palace dress, snuggled into Lu Changan's arms, and suggested softly.
"I understand Zi Yan's kindness. A certain family aims at immortality and also practices puppetry skills. They have no time to manage the sect's affairs."
Lu Changan refused without hesitation, sensing Jiang Xianzi's probing intentions.
Before being promoted to Yuanying, Xiang Dalong had always been an ascetic monk and had no interest in the authority of the sect.
Fairy Zixia intended to give up part of her authority with her words.
If Xiang Dalong agrees, it will be inconsistent with his previous personality, which may arouse the suspicion and vigilance of Zhenjun Zixia.
Lu Changan secretly thought that this Fairy Jiang took the power of the sect very seriously.
That's right. When True Monarch Yunlan was around, Fairy Zixia had a lower voice. She has been monopolizing power these years, so she naturally doesn't want the sect's orthodoxy to be controlled by outsiders.
Hearing Lu Changan's decisive refusal, Fairy Zixia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, her teeth bright.
She praised: "Dalong is indifferent to fame and wealth, and is upright and upright, but Yunxia Sect cannot treat you badly."
"I have decided to let Dalong serve as the great enshrinement, and he will enjoy a higher salary and treatment, comparable to the Nascent Soul enshrinement of the royal family."
"In addition, the original fourth-level spiritual vein's 'Yunlan Peak' was allocated to Dalong as a cave dojo."
In order to win over and bind Lu Changan, Zhenjun Zixia was quite sincere.
In addition to the benefits of discussing Taoism, past friendships also deserve no less treatment.
I would like to ask which force around Dayu can be comparable.
"Yunlan Peak?"
Lu Changan didn't expect that Fairy Zixia would be so generous that she would directly allocate her ex-husband's dojo to herself.
There are two main peaks in the center of the fourth-level spiritual vein of Yunxia Sect, namely Yunlan Peak and Zixia Peak.
Yunlan Peak was the dojo of Yunlan Zhenjun before, with the largest territory and the best spiritual vein environment.
"Is this appropriate?"
Lu Changan seemed hesitant.
"Dalong, don't be shy. Brother Yunlan has passed away for many years, and it is a waste for this fourth-level cave to be vacant. I believe that his spirit in heaven would be happy to see the prosperity of Yunxia Sect."
Zixia Zhenjun said calmly.
She did not have a real Taoist partner relationship with Yunlan Zhenjun, and even because of what happened in the past, there was a gap of resentment between them.
Therefore, when Yunlan Zhenjun passed away for many years and gave the spiritual vein dojo to Lu Changan, she had no psychological burden.
"Okay then."
Lu Changan seemed to agree reluctantly, but he was actually very happy.
The fourth-level spiritual vein dojo was the dream residence of his previous life and his family.
Now that she has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, she has a fourth-order main peak cave all to herself, and she doesn't have to worry about the secular world. How free she is.
On the other hand, Jiang Ziyan's actions also made Lu Changan wary.
This female Zhenjun attaches more importance to cultivation and career, and feelings are second.
Her attachment and tenderness to Lu Changan now are at most half-true and half-false, and the essence is the best choice for interest exchange.
If you take this relationship seriously, you will get deeper and deeper, and you will suffer a big loss sooner or later.
However, this kind of Zhenjun fairy who is in a high position and has a strong sense of career... Lu Changan likes it.
The main reason is that there are not too many emotional ties.
Fairies who have practiced for hundreds of years are psychologically mature and will not be desperate and unyielding.
To describe it in the words before crossing, this is a top-quality good family.
Compared with the brothels in the mortal world, it is many times more advanced.
Even if you run away in the future, you don't have to have any psychological burden.
…
"Dalong has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and is considered a big figure in the world of immortal cultivation. But now, he is still alone. Have you ever considered a Taoist partner, supporting each other, and discussing immortality?"
Fairy Zixia's starry eyes were flowing, looking around with brilliance, as if she had expectations.
Although she was determined to run the sect, Lu Changan's image and indifferent temperament were ideal for a Taoist partner.
"The world of immortal cultivation is ever-changing, and the early stage of the Nascent Soul is just standing on the clouds, with an unstable foundation. It seems to be in a prosperous situation, but once faced with a great catastrophe in the world of immortal cultivation, it is also helpless and may fall at any time. How dare I marry and have children easily?"
"Only by achieving the Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, or the legendary God-Transforming Heavenly Monarch, can one truly dominate the world of immortal cultivation and no longer look at the faces of others."
Lu Changan talked in general terms and expressed his own views.
Zixia Zhenjun was stunned for a moment. As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he had a deep understanding and it was not easy to refute.
The Nascent Soul stage is divided into different levels.
Yunxia Sect has been passed down for thousands of years. In history, it encountered a great enemy in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The situation was dangerous and almost cut off the sect's lineage.
In the past few hundred years, Yunxia Sect has been integrated into Dayu Kingdom, mainly because it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
There are more than one Yuanying in the middle stage of the Dayu royal family. In the vast Central Region, they are all dominant forces.
"Dalong has lofty ambitions and is free and easy. Zi Yan is very envious."
Jiang Zi Yan saw clearly that this person did not want to be bound by relationships, so she did not force him.
She changed the subject and mentioned another thing.
"By the way, as the new Yuanying Zhenjun of our sect, when does Dalong plan to hold the Yuanying Ceremony?"
"Yuanying Ceremony? Why not set it in half a year."
Lu Changan did not refuse.
Although he is a low-key person, after being promoted to the Yuanying stage, he has influenced the situation in the world of cultivation and his name has spread to the Central Region. It is impossible for him to be low-key.
The Yuanying Ceremony can expand his network and take the opportunity to make money.
Refining puppet army formations, alien peacock puppets, preparing resources for forming infants... Lu Changan consumed a lot of resources.
Next, Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia discussed the details of the preparations for the Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Fairy Zixia was quite generous, and 70% of the gifts for the Nascent Soul Ceremony went to Lu Changan.
The interpersonal relations of the ceremony were mainly interpersonal relations of the Yunxia Sect. Holding grand events and preparing precious wines and spiritual fruits are also expensive entertainment expenses.
The Yunxia Sect basically did not make any money from the 70% gift given to Lu Changan, and there was even the possibility of losing money.
Of course, it was impossible for the Yunxia Sect to really lose money.
Through the Nascent Soul Ceremony, the reputation of the Yunxia Sect was greatly enhanced, attracting more talents and qualified immortal seedlings.
...
This time, Lu Changan visited True Lord Zixia, and he was indeed sincerely grateful and giving back, not paying with his body.
"I heard that Zi Yan has been planning a magic weapon for these years. I happen to have a top-grade magic weapon with the wind and cloud zodiac in my hand."
After Lu Changan said this, he took out the top-grade magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Fan] that he had treasured for many years.
This is the magic weapon of the Tianluo Sect that has been passed down from generation to generation.
In fact, the Yunxia Sect also has a magic weapon to protect the sect, but Yunlan Zhenjun entered the Ancient You Palace and died in the end. The original magic weapon of the sect is said to have been destroyed by self-explosion, anyway, it was not brought back.
"Top-grade magic weapon, wind and cloud attribute!"
Zixia Zhenjun took the [Wind and Cloud Fan] as big as a cattail leaf. Its material is like light feathers and white clouds, but it is brewing a terrifying power like a natural disaster storm.
This top-grade treasure fan does not fit Lu Changan's wood-based exercises, but it is very suitable for the Yunxia Sect's exercises.
"Where did the dragon come from for this treasure fan? Isn't it said that it is in the hands of Jingtian Zhenjun..."
Jiang Ziyan couldn't let it go, and the surprise came too quickly.
According to her plan, creating a suitable top-quality magic weapon requires a large amount of fourth-level high-quality materials, and requires a fourth-level weapon refining master. It consumes manpower and financial resources. It is a big project.
Last time Lu Changan mentioned that the magic weapon of harmony was in Jing Wufeng's hands, and he thought he could get it only after going through many twists and turns.
"Ahem! This is a magic weapon that a certain family accidentally obtained at the border of their hometown."
Lu Changan's previous remarks were self-defeating, and Jing Wufeng was currently unable to be contacted.
He decided to trade [Feng Yun Fan] to Jiang Ziyan, not only to reciprocate, but also to benefit himself.
True Lord Zixia has reached the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, and if he is equipped with the best magic weapon [Wind and Cloud Fan], he will become one of the veteran Yuanyings, and his strength will not be weaker than True Lord Red Snake.
With this good friend's strength improving, Lu Changan can practice more stably in Yunxia Sect.
"What does Dalong need to trade for? Zi Yan doesn't have the best magic weapon of the wood type."
Jiang Ziyan looked at him deeply and did not dwell on the origin of [Feng Yun Fan].
She didn't even know how many things Xiang Dalong was hiding from her.
Anyway, it is not from the Great Yuan Immortal Realm, so even if it is stolen goods from other states, it will not affect her refining and use.
"Wooden magic weapon for protecting the road, fourth-level wood treasure material, puppet material..."
Lu Changan told some of the needed items.
"Well, in the treasure house of our Yunxia Sect, there is a high-grade wood-type magic weapon with powerful fighting skills. It is a rare and exquisite item."
Fairy Zixia took out a purple-green wooden staff with a dragon head.
"This magic weapon is called [Dragon Wood Staff]. It is an imitation of the ancient magic weapon [Coiling Dragon Staff]. The body of the staff is made of strong ten thousand-year-old iron birch. Its head is smelted from the hardest skull of a fourth-order dragon. The body of the staff has been poured with water. The blood of the dragon."
"During a martial arts fight, this staff can turn into up to a hundred feet of ancient wood. As long as the magic power is deep and the frontal combat is strong, this staff can activate the roar of the dragon, shocking the mind and soul, and is very effective for monks below the Nascent Soul stage."
After listening to the introduction, Lu Changan took the [Dragon Wood Staff] and felt it was heavy in his hand.
On the main wood material, the amount is sufficient.
If it is cultivated for a long time through his everlasting power, it can promote the spirituality of the magic weapon and improve its quality.
However, the materials used for the dragon skull and dragon essence and blood are slightly lacking.
This leads to the fact that the dragon roar and sonic deterrent that come with the [Dragon Wooden Staff] are useless against the Nascent Soul Stage of the same level.
But against the Nascent Soul, the pressure is very high, and it is more suitable for abuse, including group attacks.
"This staff is suitable for a certain family."
Lu Changan nodded and put away the [Dragon Wood Staff].
Back then, the demonized solid dragon that I hunted had stronger bloodline than the average fourth-level dragon.
Lu Changan also has extra dragon bones and purified and refined dragon blood.
These materials are suitable for the [Dragon Wood Staff] and have the potential to be tempered and improved in the future.
In addition to this exquisite top-grade magic weapon, Zhenjun Zixia also took out two fourth-level treasure materials, one of which is a wood-type treasure material, and the other is suitable for refining puppets.
"Zi Yan will make up for the remaining balance in the future with the help of her sect."
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Changan was quite satisfied with this deal, as everyone got what they needed.
When he first entered the Nascent Soul stage, his magic power was not as good as that of the veteran Nascent Soul, so the [Dragon Wood Staff] was more suitable.
He also has the Lihuo Gourd left by Master Lihuo, which is also a top-quality magic weapon, but it consumes a lot of mana and is of fire attribute, so its adaptability is slightly poor.
Using an incompatible top-quality magic weapon, Yuanying's magic power may not be able to hold on after a few rounds of bombardment in the early stage.
…
"Hu Ang, take Xiang Zhenjun to stay at Yunlan Peak."
Fairy Zixia handed a token to Lu Changan and arranged for Hu Ang to lead the way.
Previously, Hu Ang assisted in taking care of the abandoned Yunlan Peak.
Hu Ang was decent and talented in his work, and Zhenjun Zixia gave many common things to this direct disciple to take care of.
"Yes, Master."
Outside the cave, Hu Ang was stunned for a moment after receiving the order.
"Xiang Zhenjun, please come this way."
He forced a smile on his face and led the way.
Yunlan Peak and Zixia Peak are far away from each other, and they are both in the hinterland of the fourth-level spiritual veins.
Diyanjun's underground palace cave is slightly outside, roughly the same distance from the two main peaks.
Lu Changan is practicing at Yunlan Peak, and his spiritual consciousness can pay attention to the underground palace dojo at any time.
After roughly walking around Yunlan Peak, Lu Changan felt that the territory was huge and the cave was luxurious and heroic.
It is said to be a cave with the main peak, but it has sufficient water and spiritual energy, hundreds of acres of spiritual fields, and numerous crops, which can supply a small family of immortals.
"Xiao Hu, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Changan was in a good mood and rewarded Hu Ang with two unused third-level elixirs.
After being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, Hu Ang became more and more respectful to him and was very polite, not the type who was arrogant at first and respectful at the back.
It’s no wonder that Fairy Zixia puts such a good use on such a well-behaved and capable junior.
"It's not hard work, thank you Zhenjun for your gift."
Hu Ang did not dare to refuse, so he accepted the reward, showed gratitude, and bowed away.
This pair of dogs!
Leaving the familiar Yunlan Peak, Hu Ang felt sad and mixed with anger at the same time.
That woman was really chilling. She could easily transfer her ex-husband's cave assets to her current lover.
…
After Lu Changan settled in Yunlan Peak, he adjusted the battle strategy and removed all the restrictions in the cave.
Fairy Zixia mentioned before that the name of the main peak can be changed.
Lu Changan didn't bother to change his name.
First of all, he is a worshiper. As a foreign monk, he is not the orthodox master of Yunxia Sect.
Both of them, he has no intention of continuing to practice in Yunxia Sect. Once he has accumulated strength, he will return to Daqing.
The two pets stayed in the underground palace to look after the Xuantian Gourd Vine underground, which was relatively hidden.
Anyway, they were all under our noses, and with the speed of the Nascent Soul stage, we could reach them just by walking.
Lu Changan had just settled in Yunlan Peak for two days, and the elders and powerful True Dan cultivators in the sect came to visit him.
The late Jindan stage Xuefeng Sect Master, Huadu Zhenren, and Jiang Haoran, who was an immortal Jindan, all came to visit him.
In addition to the gift for the promotion to the Nascent Soul, there was another title of "housewarming".
Some cultivators even sent two gifts to please the newly promoted Nascent Soul Zhenjun.
Lu Changan accepted all the gifts from the visitors.
He couldn't help but miss the past in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world, when he transformed the Jindan three times, broke the Dan and formed the Dan many times, and "freeloaded" the gifts with different identities.
Nowadays, to achieve the Nascent Soul Zhenjun, you have to pay attention to the appearance, and such things can no longer be done.
Moreover, the transformation after the formation of the Nascent Soul is irreversible, and the operation of the year cannot be replicated.
…
When Lu Changan was receiving the high-level officials of Yunxia Sect, the news of the newly promoted Yuanying "Changqing Zhenjun" had spread throughout the entire Dayu Kingdom's cultivation world.
Xiang Dalong's identity could not be kept low-key, and it attracted the attention of major forces and even a deeper investigation.
Dayu Royal Family, Zuge Hall.
The hall was simple and quiet, and a pin drop could be heard.
"Has Xiang Dalong's identity not been investigated clearly?"
An old and distant voice came from the depths of Zuge Hall, as if it came from another space.
"Report to the clan leader! Many years ago, the Emperor Yu ordered people to investigate, and there was no trace of Xiang Dalong in the entire Dayuan."
The person who replied was an old man in ancient robes. As a Yuanying elder of the royal family, his expression seemed respectful and nervous.
"Does the True Lord Tie Suan have any divination results?"
"There is no definite result yet. True Lord Tie Suan made a preliminary calculation that Xiang Dalong should be a man of luck. In recent years, the luck of Yunxia Sect has been steadily rising."
The old man in ancient robes responded and added:
"Recently, the royal family received intelligence from a mysterious insider in Yunxia Sect, saying that Xiang Dalong came from a state outside the Great Abyss and sneaked into Dayu Country with ulterior motives."
"However, the reliability of this information is questionable and has not been confirmed."
"...From another state?"
The old voice in the Zuge Hall fell into a brief silence.
When the old man in ancient robes left.
The old voice whispered again:
"Could it be from Fenghuazhou...The Great Jin Dynasty is still unwilling to let our lineage go?"
...
This day.
Dashe Mountain welcomed a visitor from the East Region.
"True Lord Mingshui, the last time we met was in the Ancient You Palace."
True Lord Chishe greeted with a smile.
The visitor is a female True Lord with long hair hanging down to her waist. A deep, cold, dark current flows around her body, blurring her beautiful and cold face.
Dashe Mountain dares not neglect this Yuanying True Lord from the "Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai".
That is the strongest alliance of forces in Dayuan!
It is said that it inherited the territory of the ancient sect "Tinghai Pavilion", controlled the offshore resource trade, and intimidated the coastal areas of the East Region.
"Fellow Daoist Red Snake, have you found the specific whereabouts of the fourth-level dragon blood you traded that year?"
Mingshui True Lord sat down in the main hall, her long hair dancing with the water, and her slightly hoarse female voice had a unique charm.
"Eight or nine out of ten!"
Red Snake True Lord said firmly.
"What's more coincidental is that the target of my suspicion happens to have an unusual relationship with Jing Wufeng, who you are investigating and tracking."
