Chapter 384 Yuanying Ceremony

Yunlan Peak, cave secret room.

Lu Changan sat cross-legged, pinched his hands, and a green Yuanying floated above his head, maintaining the same hand gestures.

Puff!

The green infant fire was refining the magic weapon [Nail Head Arrow] in the air.

After being promoted to the Yuanying stage, Lu Changan used the Yuanying true fire to refine his own magic weapon.

In this way, the magic weapon is more powerful and easy to control.

At present, Lu Changan's most lethal magic weapon is still the three [Nail Head Arrows].

The power of this arrow is linked to the spiritual consciousness.

The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the higher the speed of the [Nail Head Arrow] and the lethality of the soul.

Spiritual consciousness is one of Lu Changan's advantages. When he first entered the Yuanying stage, he was already comparable to the peak of the early Yuanying stage.

If the fourth life comes, at least he will reach the middle Yuanying stage. The [Nail Head Arrow] launched in that situation is expected to be powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary Yuanying to resist.

[Nail Head Arrow] is considered as Lu Changan's life magic weapon because it takes the longest time to be sacrificed and nurtured, and it is connected with the mind.

Half a month later, Lu Changan successively refined [Dragon Wood Staff] and [Thunder Snake Whip].

Lu Changan tested [Dragon Wood Staff] and found that it was indeed very compatible with his own magic power. It was powerful and suitable for direct fighting.

When it was pushed to the extreme, [Dragon Wood Staff] turned into a hundred-foot-long ancient tree, and the consumption was also relatively large. Fortunately, Lu Changan's Changqing Gong Qi was long.

After that, he would add dragon blood and dragon bones to enhance the quality and power of this staff.

As for [Thunder Snake Whip], it is mainly used for control and capture of enemies, and it is not the main magic weapon.

Finally, Lu Changan refined [Lihuo Gourd], a top-grade fire magic weapon, for the first time.

Top-grade magic weapons are more difficult to control in the early stage of Yuanying, and they have never been refined before.

Since wood produces fire, the compatibility of [Lihuo Gourd] is only slightly inferior to that of wood magic weapons, and its power in fighting is unquestionable.

However, since they are not from the same source of skills, fighting consumes a lot of energy, so they are suitable for occasional use in specific environments.

The above magic weapons are biased towards the offensive end.

Lu Changan currently has no serious defensive magic weapon. He had a top-grade defensive magic weapon before, but it was destroyed in the second half of the thunder tribulation.

However, Lu Changan has many powerful puppets and is not short of meat shields. In addition, there are puppet formations, treasure talismans, and body refining, and his self-protection ability is very strong, which cannot be dealt with by the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The matching defensive magic weapon can be left for future planning, and there is no rush.

...

In a blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

Lu Changan not only re-refined the magic weapon, but also sorted out and planned the magical secrets of the Nascent Soul period.

In terms of escape techniques, the Wood Escape Technique is a high-level escape technique that must be learned by the Wood-based Nascent Soul.

But the way of Wood Escape has obvious advantages and disadvantages. It is powerful and unpredictable in the mountains and fields, like a tiger with wings, but it is very ordinary in fighting in the air.

Fortunately, Lu Changan has the "Red Sun Blood Escape" cultivated in the fourth life. He has the attainment of the fourth level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul without the need for comprehension and practice.

This escape method is extremely fast as long as you are willing to sacrifice your blood and lifespan, and it belongs to the first level of escape speed.

Lu Changan is also a cultivator, with strong blood and flesh, and fast recovery of Changqing Gong. In addition, he is not afraid of wasting his lifespan, so he can try to practice the higher fifth level.

The fifth level of "Red Sun Blood Escape" is cultivated, regardless of the cost of lifespan, and ordinary Nascent Souls can't catch up.

In addition to the escape method, conventional magical skills are also indispensable.

Lu Changan had foresight in the Jindan period, and the "Wanku Teng Hand" and "Huanye Flying Sword" he had practiced could be cultivated to the Nascent Soul level.

"Wanku Teng Hand" can devour the blood and essence of living beings, overwhelm people with power, and cover up the overly obvious long-term recovery of Changqing Gong.

"Huanye Flying Sword" is good at attacking, and its power is also affected by the strength of spiritual consciousness.

Lu Changan would consider the adaptability of the magic skills he selected.

"When you reach the Nascent Soul level, there are more magic skills to choose from. You can even practice the legendary great magic skills, such as the second Nascent Soul. But such great magic skills often need to be supplemented by top-level spiritual objects of heaven and earth, and the conditions are harsh..."

Lu Changan has the memory of the Nascent Soul of three lives. The Yunxia Sect's Sutra Library, except for the Taoist inheritance of the sect, is open to him.

The Yunxia Sect's Sutra Library has a "Phantom Wood Clone", which fits the characteristics of Lu Changan's practice.

This is a magic skill that tends to change the body, which can create a wood-type phantom clone in the battle, and can quickly separate the original body and pull the distance.

The original body and the wood-type clone can also change shape very quickly, greatly increasing flexibility.

When cultivated to perfection, the phantom wood clone formed has two or three percent of the magic power of the original body.

The truly powerful magic skills, even the forbidden skills, are also recorded in the memories of the three Nascent Souls.

Especially Master Shahai, who was once the descendant of the Huashen Sect. Even if the inheritance was broken, the remaining fragments were of great significance.

"The Immortal Seal, the Withered Divine Light, the Seven Absolute Life and Death Curse... These powerful magical skills do not require spiritual objects from heaven and earth, but the practitioners themselves have to pay a price, so they can be considered."

The usual price of many forbidden skills is nothing more than shortening life, wasting blood and essence, and seriously hurting vitality.

Lu Changan's Changqing Gong has a long life span and can save the dying and the wounded. He may be able to accept the price that many normal cultivators cannot afford.

Of course, these powerful magical skills require a lot of years to practice, which is one of the foundations that Lu Changan needs to accumulate before returning to Daqing.

...

"Master Xiang, the Yuanying Ceremony is about to begin."

On this day, Lu Changan received a message from the housekeeper Xiao Qingshan, ending his six-month retreat.

Lu Changan walked out of the cave and stood on the top of the mountain. The consciousness of the Yuanying cultivator instantly covered a radius of 150 miles.

Inside the mountain gate, there was a lively atmosphere of celebration, with flying boats and birds and mounts coming one after another, gathering at the Yunxia Sect from all directions.

Within the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence, many immortal cultivating families, medium-sized sects, and fairy city chambers of commerce came in droves.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony, as the top ceremonial event in the world of immortality, is grand in scale. Many middle- and lower-class monks are rarely seen in life and only hear rumors about them.

The fake elixir masters and foundation-building ancestors who dominate some small places have their tails tucked between their legs, smiling broadly, and are harmless to humans and animals when they arrive at the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

The ceremony was held on an outer peak, and the real distinguished guests were arranged on the top of the mountain, almost all of whom were real people.

Those representatives of the small and medium-sized forces who were building foundations and false elixirs were arranged on the mountainside on the outside. They could only admire the new true king from a distance, but they couldn't see it clearly.

As for using spiritual consciousness or spiritual eyes to spy and watch, they wouldn't even dare to do so.

"Elder Ziwei Xue comes to pay a visit - a congratulatory gift of three hundred catties of white sand and silver."

"City Lord Cao of Giant Rock City has come to pay his respects - a congratulatory gift of fifty kilograms of Xuanjing Iron."

"Ancestor of the Xiao family of Dayu, come to celebrate..."

Not all Nascent Soul forces will have the Nascent Soul Lord personally congratulate them with gifts. Most of them will send a True Pill representative to send congratulatory gifts.

Perhaps because he knew the identity of Lu Changan's puppet master, the gifts from many forces were materials for making magic weapons or puppets.

Every gift is recorded in the book.

According to the relationship between favors in the world of immortality, gifts must be returned slowly in the future.

Xuefeng Sect Master and Hu Ang are the persons in charge of the ceremony.

The former coordinates the overall situation and receives important figures; Hu Ang is responsible for specific arrangements.

"Xiang Zhenjun, a Nascent Soul True Lord has arrived at the ceremony."

Hu Ang came over and placed Lu Changan on the main seat at the top of the ceremony.

"Well, you go down and do your work first."

Lu Changan stepped forward to entertain the first Nascent Soul Lord, Xiao Weifeng, the ancestor of the Xiao family.

Due to Xiao Qingshan's bond, Lu Changan and the Yunxia Sect maintained a good relationship with the Xiao family and had many transactions.

The Xiao family's industry is mainly raw materials, among which spiritual wood resources are the most famous, and the family owns third- and fourth-level ancient trees that have been passed down for a long time.

Lu Changan needs to maintain cooperation with the Xiao family in the future to upgrade magic weapons and refine spiritual talismans.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was also sincere in his gift, which was a piece of fourth-level spiritual wood.

"Master Alchemy League, come to celebrate..."

Not long after, an old acquaintance was welcomed to the Nascent Soul Ceremony, as Lu Changan expected.

After all, Lu Changan and Master Le have an agreement.

According to the promise, Lu Changan still owed Master Le a chance to take action.

"Xiang Zhenjun succeeded in conceiving a baby. I had a premonition of this, so I am very happy to congratulate you..."

Master Le smiled kindly, looked rosy, and was obviously in a good mood.

Lu Changan's promotion to Yuanying means that his previous investments were successful. The granddaughter and disciple, who had complained before, had nothing to say about this.

"Qing Ni has met Mr. Xiang Zhen, and wishes Mr. Xiang a long life."

Yue Qingni also came with her grandfather and bowed Yingying. This woman is carefully dressed, wearing a white palace dress, elegant and dignified.

Master Le originally planned to come alone for this gift. Yue Qingni accidentally wanted to follow him and join in the fun.

Master Le was originally puzzled, but now he saw the handsome and handsome Fengshen, the new true king dressed in white as snow, and couldn't help but suddenly realized.

He glanced at his granddaughter, sighed secretly and shook his head, but he didn't expose it.

Yue Qingni is only single in theory, but in fact she has a close relationship with Chu Yang and is already a Taoist couple.

"Fairy Le, thank you for your hard work for traveling all the way."

Lu Changan nodded and greeted.

"It's not hard work! The last time I watched Xiang Zhenjun survive the tribulation, Qing Ni benefited a lot."

Yue Qingni has a beautiful smile, dignified and polite.

She wanted to chat more, but Lu Changan was very busy and quickly went to entertain other guests.

…

"The Royal Family of Dayu, the True Lord of Tie Shuang, and Princess Zhiwei are here to celebrate—"

The loud sound of congratulations reached the top of the mountain.

The sound of congratulations is also exquisite.

The louder the sound, it means that the status of the congratulator is high, or the gift is expensive.

The Daewoo royal family is undoubtedly the master of the Daewoo Kingdom, with a transcendent status that towers over surrounding forces.

"The True Lord of Iron Calculation?"

Lu Changan's brows furrowed slightly. Hearing this man's name, he did not dare to neglect him and stood up to greet him personally.

"The True Monarch of Iron Calculation, the mysterious Nascent Soul of the royal family, and the fourth-level divination master, actually participated in this Nascent Soul Ceremony as a representative?"

Representatives from all forces present stood up one after another, feeling surprised.

Because in the past, Zhenjun Iron Suan rarely appeared in public, and he was a Nascent Soul monk who was very low-key and had a low sense of presence.

"Xiang Zhenjun, you have extraordinary charm...ahem, it's better to meet him than to be famous."

The visitor was a layman in green clothes, about forty years old, wearing a square scarf and wooden clogs.

The man was not in good health, and he coughed softly in the gaps between his words.

But when a pair of eyes fell on Lu Changan, they were blazing with light, with the power to penetrate the fate of heaven.

"The True Monarch of Iron Calculation is here in person, and our sect is full of glory."

At this time, Fairy Zixia also arrived at the scene, smiling and smiling, and together with Lu Changan received the True Lord Tie Suan.

"I have heard for a long time that the iron is the true king, and the golden mouth is broken, and there is no strategy left."

Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief. There was an invisible pressure to deal with Zhenjun Iron Calculator alone, not in terms of strength, but in terms of divination.

With one more veteran Yuanying accompanying me, the pressure is much less.

Every Nascent Soul Lord alive in the world has good luck and powerful magic power, and all have their own resistance to interference with heavenly secrets and divination.

"Congratulations to Master Xiang. Zhiwei is here to greet you."

Princess Zhiwei, who came with him, was stunned for a moment when she saw Lu Changan now, and bowed.

She was neither humble nor arrogant on the surface, maintaining her royal status, but in fact her heart was in turmoil and her emotions were complicated.

Many years ago, when Xiang Dalong was in the stage of Dan formation, the royal family wanted to marry Princess Zhiwei to win him over.

At that time, although Princess Zhiwei did not refuse, as a royal lady, she felt that Xiang Dalong was a bit rustic and not worthy of her eye.

When they met again today, Xiang Dalong was already a high-ranking Yuanying Master, and his status and influence were even higher than those of ordinary Yuanying old monsters.

"Miss Zhiwei, there is no need to be polite."

Lu Changan raised his hand to avoid the courtesy.

He and Fairy Zixia, like a couple of gods, entertained the royal representatives.

Master Tiesuan was in poor health and had an old cough, so he didn't talk much.

Instead, it was Princess Zhiwei who took the initiative to start the conversation with Lu Changan and reminisced about the past.

True Lord Tie Suan was silent, smiling, secretly observing Lu Changan's words and actions.

Lu Changan always felt that this True Lord Tie Suan had seen through some of his secrets and was suspicious.

Fortunately, there were many guests at the ceremony today, so he quickly found an opportunity to withdraw.

Compared with the last transformation ceremony of the Earth Rock Rat, Lu Changan is now the protagonist, and no force is trying to recruit him.

When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, few forces can really lure you or promise you anything.

Besides, Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia are in love, and their friendship of sixty years cannot be shaken by outsiders.

…

Before noon, representatives of various forces had arrived.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony often lasts for two or three days, so it doesn't matter if you come late.

However, most representatives of forces pay attention to etiquette and will not come too late.

"Big Snake Mountain, True Lord Chi Snake comes to celebrate!"

"Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai, True Lord Mingshui comes to celebrate--"

The former did not cause much excitement, but the latter name made the representatives of all parties present look sideways.

"Eastern Region, Zhenhai Sixteen Sects? When did Yunxia Sect get to know such a network of people?"

The Sixteen Sects of Zhenhai are considered the strongest sect alliance in the entire Eastern Region, and even in the Great Abyss.

"True Lord Mingshui, why would she visit my Nascent Soul Ceremony?"

Lu Changan's heart trembled slightly.

She looked at Fairy Zixia, who was also puzzled and shook her head slightly.

Obviously, True Lord Mingshui was an uninvited guest!

"It's her!"

Lu Changan looked closely and saw the female True Lord who flew with True Lord Chi Snake. She was wearing a blue-black dress, lingering in a layer of dark water, with long hair fluttering. Her cold and beautiful face was dimly visible.

A pair of clear eyes, like two deep black pearls, were clearly visible even through the light black water.

Lu Changan still remembers: when he disguised his identity and hunted the Demon Stone Heart Dragon with Jing Wufeng in the illusion space, he attracted the attention of this woman.

At that time, this female Zhenjun was very smart. She did not take advantage of the fire, but took advantage of the time difference and ran to the lair of the Demon Stone Heart Dragon.

When Lu Changan arrived, the lair of the Demon Stone Heart Dragon had been plundered, and this woman took advantage of it. I don’t know what benefit she got.

Lu Changan disguised his identity at that time, and was covered by the illusion space, so he thought that his identity was not discovered.

Jing Wufeng, on the other hand, was ineffective in disguise after breaking the petrification, and there was a possibility of exposure.

The reason why Lu Changan was afraid was that the Mingshui Zhenjun once hunted down the remnants of the "Tinghai Pavilion". This woman was the most active and got some of the legacy of the Tinghai Pavilion.

The Shahai Zhenjun, whose Yuanying was devoured by the [Nine Seals Monument], was hunted down by the Mingshui Zhenjun and others. He arrived in Daqing through the forbidden land of the Central Region and got rid of the crisis.

It is very likely that Lord Mingshui has not given up the pursuit of Lord Shahai and the hidden treasure house of the ruins in Tinghai Pavilion.

"Lord Xiang, this friend of mine has come from afar to join in the fun of the ceremony. You won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

Lord Chishe was unscrupulous. The spiritual pressure of the Yuanying cultivator's escape light swept the wind and clouds and brought Lord Mingshui to the top of the mountain.

"No problem, the visitor is a guest."

Lu Changan naturally couldn't refuse. If he felt guilty, it would arouse the suspicion of Lord Mingshui.

I'm not afraid of offending Lord Mingshui alone, but the sixteen Zhenhai sects behind him and the Yuanying great cultivator, which Yuanying here would not be afraid?

...

"Lord Xiang, I came uninvited and sent a bottle of [Yinming Heavy Water] that I have been refining for a long time as an apology."

Lord Mingshui's magic power is obscure and profound. He walked slowly, with a hoarse and cold voice, and a sense of abstinence.

She stretched out a slender pale finger and tapped it lightly.

Whoosh!

The black water rippled, and a small sheep-fat bottle flew straight to Lu Changan, who was sitting in the first seat.

"Mingshui Zhenjun is too polite."

Lu Changan smiled. The high-quality fourth-level heavy water is beneficial to the mutant black water turtle's cultivation.

However, as soon as he caught the sheep-fat bottle with his hand, his face changed suddenly.

Boom!

Lu Changan's arm sank, and his body staggered. The sheep-fat bottle in his hand seemed to carry ten heavy mountains, and the terrifying force rushed over.

Lu Changan had to use the power of body refining, and the Yuanying magic power lingered on his palm, so that he could barely catch the sheep-fat bottle.

Crack!

Perhaps because of excessive force, the sheep-fat bottle was broken instantly, and the terrifying and cold heavy water was agitated, comparable to a lake, and the lethality it brought was enough to hurt a Yuanying early cultivator.

"Is this woman deliberately messing up the place, or is she testing me?"

Lu Changan's mind raced, his face flushed, and he used his powerful Changqing magic power, combined with his physical training, to finally contain the roaring [Heavy Water of the Darkness].

At least he didn't make a fool of himself.

Zixia Zhenjun, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

In the world of immortal cultivation, it has happened that newly promoted Jindan or Yuanying cultivators were tested by hostile forces at the ceremony, and even asked to compete with each other in person.

Lu Changan took out another container, sealed the [Yinming Heavy Water], set a ban, and put it into the space ring.

Completed all this.

Lu Changan's face sank and looked at the uninvited guest.

Zixia Zhenjun looked unpredictable and looked at Mingshui Zhenjun coldly.

"Hehe, this is just a little thought from my concubine. I forgot to put a ban on the heavy water container. I hope Xiang Zhenjun will not be offended."

Mingshui Zhenjun was neither slow nor fast, elegant and calm, and the deep water flow around him suddenly withdrew, revealing a pale and bloodless face that made people feel strange and cold.

At the same time, this woman exuded a vast and boundless aura of magic power, which made several Yuanying Zhenjun present feel dangerous and uneasy.

"Middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

Not only Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia, but also the ancestors of the Xiao family, Master Le and others not far away, were moved.

Only True Lord Chishe, who came with them, grinned, revealing a faint smile.
