Chapter 385 The Reason for Iron Calculation

The powerful spiritual pressure in the middle stage of Nascent Soul far exceeds any True Lord Lu Changan has faced in this life.

He was surprised and doubtful. The last time he saw this woman was thirty or forty years ago, when he and Jing Wufeng teamed up to fight the demonic Stone Heart Dragon.

At that time, Zhenjun Mingshui had not seen Lu Changan's true face, and he was still in the early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Appearing this time is already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, so there seems to be some chance.

Was it the leak in the Stone Heart Dragon's lair?

Or is there something else gained in the Ancient Nether Palace?

Over the years, the only news about Zhenjun Mingshui is that he has entered the Ancient Nether Palace, but his presence is very low, and he has not yet advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

"Fellow Taoist Ming Shui is so respectful, Xiang will bear it in mind."

Lu Changan looked unhappy and his tone was lukewarm.

There was neither an attack on the spot nor a deliberate forbearance, and the reaction was as expected by everyone.

The gift given by True Lord Mingshui just now was obviously a test; if it were a new Nascent Soul with less magical power, he would probably be embarrassed in public.

Lu Changan and Fairy Zixia were naturally unhappy with such an offensive and rude act.

However, True Monarch Ming Shui, as a middle-stage Nascent Soul, backed by the Sixteenth Zhenhai Sect, had the qualifications to be arrogant.

"Xiang Zhenjun's words are serious. I heard that Fellow Daoist Xiang has a close relationship with Jingtianjun. Jingtianjun's magical powers are not inferior to those in the middle Nascent Soul stage. I think Xiang Zhenjun's strength is not far behind."

True Lord Ming Shui smiled at Yan Yan, but after testing him, he made no further move.

Xiang Dalong's reaction was not abnormal. As a new Nascent Soul, her magic power is slightly stronger than she expected.

"It's impressive to fellow Taoist Mingshui! Xiang is just an ordinary Nascent Soul monk. I met Lord Jing Tianzhen back then because of the deal of refining puppets."

Lu Changan's tone was slightly gentler, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh I got it."

Zhenjun Mingshui seemed to believe most of it, and then sat down at the Nascent Soul Ceremony like a normal guest.

True Lord Zixia breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes met with Lu Changan's, with the intention of asking.

"I don't know this fellow Taoist Mingshui, maybe it's because of Lord Jingtian's grudge..."

Lu Changan shook his head slightly and explained via voice transmission.

When Zhenjun Mingshui mentioned "Jingzhen Tianjun", Lu Changan couldn't help but make some guesses.

When hunting the demonic Stone Heart Dragon, Jing Wufeng was petrified and used secret methods to break free and reveal his true form.

Although there was a great formation of illusory sky to cover it up, during the fierce battle, the formation was not flawless, and it was possible that True Monarch Ming Shui could spy on the blurry scene.

That's all.

A period of time ago, Jing Wufeng entered the Great Abyss for the first time through a space crack, but the "exotic aura" was not eliminated immediately. He once fought with monsters and was chased by the demonic Stone Heart Dragon, which caused quite a stir.

True Lord Mingshui once chased True Lord Chahai and investigated the ruins of the Tinghai Pavilion treasure house. He would never ignore clues such as visitors from foreign lands.

What's more, Jing Wufeng later became famous in the battle at the Ancient You Palace, which was related to the clues about the fake Lingbao, which can be said to be very high-profile.

Lu Changan's biggest concern is that Zhenjun Mingshui knows or infers the existence of the transmission channel and the ruins of Tinghai Pavilion from some clues in Tinghai Pavilion's books.

"Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Jing has a stronger presence and more doubts, so he is at the forefront."

After Lu Changan analyzed the reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If True Lord Ming Shui had set his sights on him, he would have come to his door long ago.

Now, Lu Changan has been promoted to Nascent Soul, and his reputation is not small. With the help of True Lord Red Snake, he has entered the sight of True Lord Mingshui.

With True Lord Red Snake and True Lord Mingshui getting involved, Lu Changan couldn't help but think of the small flaws he had left back then.

Before Lord Diyan was promoted to the Demon King of Transformation.

Lu Changan used the purified dragon blood to trade [Xuanxin Beast Pill] with True Lord Red Snake. Without this elixir, Mr. Diyan may not be able to survive the inner demon tribulation and successfully transform.

At that time, the fourth generation of Lu Changan came, pretending to be a Nascent Soul monk, with a very different aura, but True Lord Red Snake never saw through it.

Dayuan belongs to the state boundary near the sea, and the source of dragon blood is mainly sea dragons.

True Monarch Red Snake really interacted with True Monarch Mingshui in the Ancient Nether Palace, and they probably got to know each other later.

…

"Fellow Shura, can you detect anything unusual about this person?"

After Lord Mingshui sat down, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, while actually communicating with the simple oil lamp in the storage props.

The base of the simple oil lamp is made of soul-nourishing wood. In the halo of the oil lamp, there is a ball of miserable blue broken ghost, which is the remnant soul of "Shura Ghost Lord".

"There's something wrong with this person."

The ghost of Shura Ghost Lord affirmed.

"As the master of Stone Heart Dragon, I once had a spiritual contract and am very familiar with the aura of its bloodline. I just used a secret technique to sense the faint aura of Shixinlong's bloodline on this person. That is to say, Taoist Fellow Mingshui was close to me, and I could sense it. ”

"Oh? Is that big dragon aware of your secret sensing technique and alerting the enemy?"

True Lord Ming Shui confirmed.

"Haha, as a ghost cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of Yuanying, even if it is soul division, the subtle secrets of the ghost way are difficult to detect in the early stage of Yuanying. What's more, fellow Taoist Mingshui tried to test it, so that boy was forced to protect himself and had no time to care. ”

Shura Ghost Lord said confidently.

When he was at his strongest, he even slightly injured the great monk Yuanying. In the end, he almost lost his life at a heavy cost and escaped the great monk's pursuit, thus becoming famous in one battle.

However, the heavy price of that battle also paved the way for his subsequent misfortune.

"What do you think of this person?"

"As a new Nascent Soul, Xiang Dalong is most likely an accomplice of Jing Wufeng. According to True Lord Red Snake, this person also has a puppet military formation that can contain the early Nascent Soul. In the early years, Jing Wufeng obtained the favor of Xiang Dalong. With the help of the fourth-level formation, it is indeed possible to threaten Shi Xinlong."

Shura Ghost Lord's divided soul analyzed.

True Monarch Ming Shui agreed: "Well, Lord Diyan should have obtained Shi Xinlong's Essence Pill, thus promoting his transformation."

"Xiang Dalong helped Jing Wufeng a lot, including the opportunity in the Ancient You Palace. This son should have received some dragon blood materials. Even if it is refined and purified, the essence of the dragon blood has not changed, and the induction at a relatively close distance cannot be concealed. Fellow Taoist Shura.”

After analyzing this, Zhenjun Mingshui felt excited. Maybe he could catch the big fish Jing Wufeng through Xiang Dalong's clue.

Jing Wufeng, as a visitor from a foreign land, the biggest winner of the Ancient You Palace is the lucky one.

This person has magical powers in space and is good at digging for relics and treasures. He may have missed the True Lord Chahai who fled to a foreign land, and even obtained some of the remains of Tinghai Pavilion.

True Monarch Ming Shui could not defeat Jing Wufeng, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and was good at space escape.

However, Jing Wufeng offended many old Yuanying monsters in the Ancient You Palace. After years of investigation and calculation by the major forces in the Central Region, it has only been identified as a key clue to the whereabouts of the fake Lingbao in recent years.

Ming Shui Zhenjun can definitely use his strength to fight, and even if it doesn't work, he can also move reinforcements from the "Blackpool Sect" where he is.

However, the first cultivator of the Kurosawa Sect is stronger than the newly promoted Ming Shui Zhenjun in the middle Nascent Soul stage. In order to avoid losing her dominance, she would not easily ask the sect for help.

"Judging from the test just now, Xiang Dalong's technique is not Tinghai Pavilion's method."

True Lord Mingshui's thoughts turned around, and he felt that Lu Changan, True Lord Chahai, and Tinghai Pavilion should have nothing to do with each other.

It is somewhat possible that a lucky person like Jing Wufeng possesses spatial magical powers and is confirmed to be a visitor from a foreign land.

"Are you confident, fellow Taoist Shura, that you can help me capture Xiang Dalong?"

"I have nourished you for many years, but now I can only activate the secret skills of ghosts at the early stage of Yuanying. If Xiang Dalong does not come out of the sect, there is no chance. Unless this son goes out alone without Diyan Lord, then there is no chance feasibility."

Shura Ghost Lord said truthfully.

Yunxia Sect has three great Nascent Soul combat powers, and coupled with the fourth-level formation, it is no match for them in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

At the Nascent Soul Ceremony, most of the Nascent Soul Lords present had good relations with the Yunxia Sect, or were neutral, not to mention the timing.

"If fellow Taoist Mingshui wants to increase the chance of winning, it's best to continue to look for nourishment for the spirit path for me. When the secret skills of the ghost path reach a higher level, you can shake and suppress this son's Nascent Soul..."

Shura Ghost Lord suggested again in a bewildering way.

Back then, in Shi Xinlong's lair, he fell into the hands of True Lord Ming Shui and was tortured. Later, he told Ghost Lord Shura about a treasure spot left in the forbidden area of ​​the Central Territory, which gave True Lord Mingshui a great opportunity.

Under his guidance, Zhenjun Mingshui participated in the Ancient Nether Palace and made great gains.

With all kinds of help, it showed its value, and Zhenjun Mingshui helped him cultivate and restore part of his ghostly cultivation.

…

True Monarch Ming Shui is the only mid-stage Nascent Soul on the field, and her exchange of souls with Ghost Lord Shura is difficult for early-stage Nascent Soul monks to detect.

However, the layman in green clothes not far away looked at the Ming Shui Zhenjun who was resting with his eyes closed, and there was a trace of strangeness in his abyss-like misty eyes.

"Ahem! Zhiwei, come with me for a walk around."

Lord Tie Suan coughed and stood up. Accompanied by Princess Zhiwei, he looked at the scenery of Yunxia Sect.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony lasted for three days, and many guests wandered and visited near the mountain peak, as long as they did not enter the sect's restricted areas.

As a fourth-level divination master, Zhenjun Iron Calculator is not simply a spectator. He can read Qi, survey Feng Shui, and understand the general trend of a sect's luck.

As a Yuanying sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Yunxia Sect's Ancestral Hall also has celestial secrets, mainly to prevent outsiders from inferring the sect's secrets.

Half an hour later.

True Lord Mingshui and True Lord Red Snake left Yunxia Sect.

Watching the direction in which True Lord Ming Shui leaves.

The True Lord of Iron Calculation used his hexagram power and grabbed the void with his palm.

brush!

An iron hexagram sign emerged.

On the hexagram sign, mysterious light circulates and outlines a line of ancient tadpole writing, which outsiders do not recognize at all.

Lord Tie Shuan looked thoughtful after reading the contents on the hexagram sign.

Princess Zhiwei was not surprised by this scene, she just asked in confusion:

"Why don't you make predictions about Xiang Dalong, but make predictions about the situation of the two Zhenjun Mingshui."

She knew about Zhenjun Tieshuang's mission and came to cooperate with him.

"Ahem! What do you think about that kid? I still want to live a few more years."

Lord Iron Calculator shook his head slightly and sighed.

He had no choice but to start from the side.

Princess Zhiwei was surprised: "Xiang Dalong is a new Nascent Soul, why can't he calculate?"

"This Mr. Xiang Zhen at least has many divination treasures, which I can still feel. There may be other treasures that can shield the secrets of heaven."

"Moreover, he has the destiny layout of another divination master, which makes his destiny deep and turbid. Coupled with the Nascent Soul realm, his luck is strong. If divination is forced, my body and bones will not be able to withstand it."

Tie Suan Zhenjun smiled and explained the reason.

Diviners who forcefully peek into the heavens will inevitably have to pay a price.

Loss of lifespan is a common disease.

The divination method practiced by the True Lord Iron Calculator has reduced the harm of "life loss" by several percent, which is really remarkable.

But the corresponding price is that the body is always weak and unable to have sex.

"Behind Xiang Dalong, there is actually a divination master?"

Princess Zhiwei couldn't help but be surprised.

The art of divination is unpopular and difficult to cultivate. The difficulty of advancing to the fourth level of divination master is much higher than that of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

"Then you have always been with True Lord Mingshui, have you gained anything?"

"Although that person is newly promoted to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is estimated that the resistance is quite high. Fortunately, I have gained a little bit, which is enough for me to see part of the situation clearly."

Hearing this, Princess Zhiwei was very curious.

When asked again, Zhenjun Zhenshu smiled and did not answer, and took her back to the venue of the Nascent Soul Ceremony.

…

Two days later.

The Nascent Soul Ceremony came to an end, and most of the Nascent Soul Lord present left midway.

Only Master Le and Zhenjun Tiesuan did not leave.

Master Le didn't leave for another reason.

The Iron Lord has not left yet, which makes Lu Changan worried.

However, Zhenjun Tie Suan did not act offensively in the past two days. He even showed kindness and took the initiative to toast him with a glass of wine.

Tie Suan Zhenjun was in poor health and only had one glass of wine with Lu Changan during the ceremony. This was considered a great honor.

"Ahem! Mr. Xiang Zhen, can you talk to me alone?"

The Iron Calculator suggested before leaving.

"good."

Lu Changan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

As the representative of the royal family, Mr. Tie Suan Zhenjun has a golden tongue. Since he has taken the initiative to express his goodwill, it is not appropriate to offend him.

"Xiang Zhenjun came into contact with that uninvited guest. Well...did you notice anything unusual about her?"

"Abnormal? Not aware of it."

"But this woman seems to have a prejudice against Xiang, probably because of Mr. Jing Tianzhen."

Lu Changan shook his head and said truthfully.

His mana and consciousness were not as good as those of True Lord Ming Shui, so he really didn't see any problems.

"That fellow Taoist has a vague ghostly aura about him."

The Iron Calculator revealed.

"Ki Dao breath!"

Lu Changan's thoughts turned and many associations occurred in an instant.

The original owner of the demonic Stone Heart Dragon that was hunted back then was Shura Ghost Lord, but he had been missing for many years.

That Shura Ghost Lord came from the "Huangtian Ghost Palace" in the Northern Territory, and belonged to the first level of strength below the Yuanying Great Monk.

And that True Lord Ming Shui took the opportunity to pick up the leak and went to Shi Xinlong's lair.

"Thank you sir for the reminder."

Lu Changan bowed his hands and thanked him.

This information is very important to Lu Changan.

If True Monarch Ming Shui and Ghost Monarch Shura get together, the threat is enough for them to take seriously.

You know, Lu Changan still has the purified dragon blood of Shi Xinlong.

"Ahem! If Xiang Zhenjun sincerely thanks you, can you answer my next question?"

Tie Suan Zhenjun's eyes flashed and he said with a half-smile.

Lu Changan choked on his words, was stunned, and reluctantly said:

"Sir, if you have any questions, Xiang is willing to answer them as long as they do not involve personal confidentiality."

"I only have one question, which state boundary outside the Great Abyss does Xiang Zhenjun come from?"

Tie Shunzhenjun's eyes are bright, giving people a strange feeling of insight into the soul.

This question was unexpected and made Lu Changan wary.

He comes from outside the Great Abyss, and even in Yunxia Sect, it is classified.

Back then, Lu Changan only told Fairy Zixia, who also promised to keep it a secret.

Zhenjun Zixia told Taoist companion Yunlan at most, but no one else knew.

"Xiang is from Kunzhou."

Lu Changan thought for a while and decided to give a "real" answer.

He vaguely realized that this issue was important to the royal family and it was best not to avoid it.

"Oh? Kunzhou? That's not too far away."

The Iron Calculator stared at Lu Changan's expression. As a fourth-level divination master, he faced the opponent directly and basically judged that the latter was not lying.

That's right, Lu Changan came from Dakun's immortal cultivating family in his previous life, and his name was Xu Xuan.

Later, Zhenjun Tie Shuan talked about the customs and customs of Kunzhou, and Lu Changan responded easily.

Zhenjun Tiesuan smiled, and the purpose of this visit to Yunxia Sect was basically achieved.

Just rule out that Xiang Dalong comes from the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.

"How much information does Sir know about the True Lord Ming Shui?"

Lu Changan took the opportunity to inquire about information.

The Daewoo royal family, as one of the dominant forces in the Central Region, has a fourth-level grandmaster and has many sources of intelligence.

"Ming Shui Zhenjun came from the 'Black Ze Sect', one of the sixteen sects in Zhenhai. This woman actively hunted down the remnants of Tinghai Pavilion and excavated some inherited treasures. A hundred years ago, this woman chased and killed Zhenhai Zhenjun, the remnant of Tinghai Pavilion. ', the latter has disappeared. In the past hundred years, True Lord Mingshui has often wandered around the forbidden areas of the Central Territory, and may have obtained some new clues..."

The master of iron calculation has the relevant information at his fingertips. Lu Changan suspected that this person might be in charge of the intelligence department in the royal family.

"... Thirty years ago, True Monarch Ming Shui entered the Ancient Nether Palace and was one of the hidden winners. At that time, two Nascent Soul stages were fighting for a spiritual object in the world, but this female Huangque was behind. Got a bargain. Ming Shui Zhenjun's promotion to the middle stage of Nascent Soul may be related to this harvest."

Zhenjun Tiesuan added the situation of Zhenshui Zhenshui in recent years.

After Lu Changan heard this, he was secretly speechless.

This woman actually picked up the leak more than once and still took advantage of it in the ancient Youdian Palace?

Lu Changan had never heard of the relevant inside story before, so he only knew the truth from the royal family’s intelligence network.

…

"Sir, do you know the whereabouts of Lord Jing Tian?"

Before saying goodbye, Lu Changan asked curiously.

In these years, the whereabouts of Jing Wufeng have not been heard in the Central Territory.

Lord Iron Calculator coughed, remained silent for a few breaths, and couldn't help but look at Lu Changan.

That expression seems to be saying, you just answered my question, how much more information do you want for free?

Lu Changan felt a little embarrassed and made a haha.

"Jing Wufeng is suspected of leaving the Central Territory and hunting monsters in the coastal waters of the Eastern Territory. The information cannot be kept true."

After finishing speaking, Zhenjun Tie Shuang waved his sleeves to say goodbye and left Yunxia Sect.

"If it weren't for your strong luck, this kid..."

Above the clouds, Tie Suan Zhenjun shook his head and couldn't help but smile.

The reason why he treated Lu Changan well was because he got indirect confirmation through divination from Mingshui Zhenjun and Chishe Zhenjun.

Indeed, it was not easy for him to directly divine Lu Changan, the cost was too high.

However, Tie Suan Zhenjun could divine Lu Changan's enemies.

Although he couldn't see the whole picture, he could capture a certain trend. Mingshui Zhenjun's luck reached its peak, and there were signs of decline after prosperity.

From this, it can be seen that Xiang Dalong, as an opponent, is not a good person, and it is even more unacceptable to offend Mingshui Zhenjun.

…

After the Yuanying Ceremony, Lu Changan entertained Master Le and his granddaughter Le Qingni at Yunlan Peak.

It turned out that Lu Changan and Master Le had another agreement to ask the other party to help refine the fourth-level longevity pill.

The third-level top-level longevity fruit brought from Daqing that year has been cultivated for decades. Later, he used the secret technique of Changqing to shorten his life and promote birth, greatly increasing his growth rate, and then broke through to the fourth level.

Lu Changan collected the other materials for the longevity pill. Not only did he do it himself, but also exchanged them through the treasure house of Yunxia Sect and issued sect tasks to obtain them.

"Fourth-level longevity fruit, the year is qualified."

Master Le checked the materials and was quite surprised that Lu Changan could come up with complete materials for the fourth-level longevity pill.

The most rare one is the fourth-level longevity fruit, which can extend life for decades when taken alone, and its value exceeds that of the infant-transforming pill.

"Wait until I adjust the earth fire and formation of the cave, I can start to refine the longevity pill."

Master Le did not ask about the reward and directly accepted the commission.

Lu Changan was looking forward to it. When he took the longevity pill, the effect was twice as good as that of ordinary cultivators, and the drug resistance would only gradually decrease.

Back then, the first third-level longevity pill he took could extend his life by sixty years.

Taking the fourth-level longevity pill can extend his life by at least a hundred years.

The increase in longevity can increase the mana of Changqing Gong. If you take more than two fourth-level longevity pills, your lifespan will be greatly extended, and your mana in the Nascent Soul stage may be significantly increased.

…

While Master Le was preparing to refine the pill, Lu Changan analyzed and calculated the relevant crises brought by the True Lord Mingshui.

However, he has not yet been promoted to the fourth-level divination master, and can only calculate the fourth level accurately. He only feels that the resistance of the heavenly secret is quite large and the fog is heavy.

As the True Lord Mingshui is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it is difficult to calculate the specific situation.

Lu Changan can only confirm repeatedly that there is no flaw in the matter of Tinghai Pavilion. Even if there is, it is isolated in Daqing and not brought to Dayuan.

"The transaction of dragon blood with True Lord Chishe did leave a flaw. However, now that Lord Diyan and I have reached the Nascent Soul level, the transaction that concealed our identities is no longer important."

Lu Changan has been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and many of his past secrets are no longer worried about being exposed.

Even if the Changqing Gong is known to others, it is not a shocking secret at the Nascent Soul level.

In all realms of Tianheng Continent, there are definitely more than one or two brothers and sisters who practice Changqing Gong.

Only the secrets of Tinghai Pavilion and Xuantian Gourd Vine must not be exposed.

After making sure that there were no omissions in the general direction, Lu Changan looked at the present.

There was a doubt in the previous inquiry of Master Tiesuan.

Without evidence and clues, how did the royal family and Master Tiesuan know that he came from the outside world?

As a master of divination, Lu Changan knew that it was difficult for a divination to make a deduction out of thin air, and it was better to have a clue medium, otherwise the accuracy rate would be greatly reduced.

The important thing is that as a divination, Lu Changan has many strange objects and has a strong resistance to Tianji divination. This is a secret unknown to outsiders.

Master Tiesuan only knew about this situation after contacting him.

Thinking of this, Lu Changan visited Master Zixia and asked about the relevant matters.

Jiang Ziyan replied: "Regarding the fact that Dalong came from another state, I have not told anyone except Senior Brother Yunlan. And Senior Brother has passed away long ago..."

Hearing this, Lu Changan frowned slightly.

If it was just a private communication between Yuanying Zhenjun, it would be difficult to calculate the interference resistance to the heavenly secrets.

In this matter, either Jiang Ziyan lied; or the deceased Yunlan Zhenjun left a loophole.
