Chapter 415: Spiritual Pets Are Enough, Senior, Please Respect Yourself

"Sparring? I am not good at fighting and have little practical experience. I am afraid that I will disappoint Master Yin."

Lu Changan laughed and was a little surprised.

I don't know whether Yin Yuanhai's proposal for sparring was out of personal interest or for other purposes.

In the world of immortal cultivation, friendly sparring is not uncommon among cultivators of the same camp. But it is a bit abrupt to bring it up when they meet for the first time.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lu is too modest!"

Yin Yuanhai didn't believe this. It is not easy to kill the demon's Yuanying body, even with the help of a spirit pet, and the opponent underestimates the enemy.

He said seriously: "Both Yin and Fellow Daoist Lu have only been promoted to Yuanying for a few decades, and are not as good as the old Yuanying in actual combat. No one can say when the war between demons will start again. Sparring on weekdays can promote magic skills and avoid sharpening the gun before the battle."

"Fellow Daoist Yin makes sense."

Lu Changan perfunctorily said a few words and then changed the subject.

From Yin Yuanhai, he felt the desire to fight, but there was no hostility or malice.

Yin Yuanhai was not a warmonger. He proposed to fight because he wanted to test the personal fighting ability of Changqing Zhenjun.

At the last meeting, Chu Alliance Leader proposed to add a "deputy leader" to the Weidao Alliance.

Lu Changan was one of the key targets of Chu Alliance Leader.

In this regard, several Yuanying including Yin Yuanhai opposed it.

Indeed, recruiting Lu Changan was equivalent to winning over the fighting power of two Yuanying.

However, to serve as a deputy leader, you need qualifications, prestige, achievements, and personal strength to convince the public.

The other deputy leader is Liuyang Zhenjun of Jinyang Sect.

Jinyang Sect has two Yuanyings with a long heritage, and Liuyang Zhenjun is also a veteran Yuanying with strong strength among the same level, enough to convince the public.

As a new Yuanying, Lu Changan only has one battle record, which cannot explain the problem.

In addition, the fact that Wugui Zhenren ran away in the past was not glorious after all, which made the Yuanying of the pro-war faction question his character.

Yin Yuanhai proposed a competition. If Changqing Zhenjun could not defeat him, or it was just a tie, it would prove that his personal strength, prestige and character were not enough to serve as the deputy leader.

…

In the second half of the journey, Yin Yuanhai blessed the Yuanying mana on the windmill vehicle, and its speed in the wind soared, surpassing the general Yuanying in the early stage.

The windmill wonder vehicle is not a product of this era. Although its speed is fast, it needs to rely on natural wind power. The stronger the wind, the greater the speed bonus. If the wind is very small, or there is no natural wind, its flying speed has no advantage.

In less than half a day.

The windmill vehicle arrived at the headquarters of the Weidao League.

The headquarters of the Weidao League is located in a newly built and relocated fourth-level spiritual vein in the center of Fengguo. It is a huge mountain city shrouded in a fourth-level formation.

The headquarters is relatively close to Wuya Palace, which is located at the former site of the Jinyang Sect's fourth-level middle-grade spiritual vein.

Now, more than half of Fengguo's territory has been occupied by the Beast King Valley, and there are actually only two Yuanying sect forces that have real territory.

That is Wuya Palace and Aoyue Palace.

Fengguo originally had a Yuanying force called Blood Sword Valley, but its territory was occupied by the Beast King Valley.

Several defeated Yuanying forces in the East Region moved some of their spiritual veins to the Weidao League headquarters, including the original Blood Sword Valley.

The Weidao League currently has two or three Yuanying True Lords from the defeated forces, who were recruited or defected to the League one after another, and there were also casualties.

This help seems good, but it is not as good as the subordinate Yuanying forces of the Beast King Valley in the rear territory.

In the mountain city where the Weidao League is located, the fourth-level formation suddenly ripples.

The gate of the mountain city is opened, and three Yuanying True Lords are waiting above to welcome the guests.

The handsome man in the middle, wearing a silver-rimmed cloud robe, was as tall as a mountain, with clear facial features and deep and calm eyes, with a demeanor that looked down on the world.

Yin Yuanhai was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his master Chu Tianfeng would come out to greet him in person. This kind of treatment was very rare.

Lu Changan's eyes immediately fell on Chu Tianfeng, the first cultivator of the Weidao League, a giant in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, with an extraordinary demeanor that was too obvious.

The mana aura on Chu Tianfeng's body was vast and boundless, like a sea of ​​stars, surpassing all the Nascent Soul cultivators Lu Changan met in Daqing.

The sense of oppression brought to Lu Changan was even stronger than that of the Black Water True Lord, comparable to the old monster Jin Kun.

Chu Tianfeng was promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul two or three hundred years ago. In the early days, he defeated the two Nascent Soul True Lords of the Jinyang Sect in a one-on-two battle.

In the war of magic, Chu Tianfeng fought against the Beast King Sect many times to check and balance each other.

"You are indeed the number one cultivator who has surpassed all other countries."

Lu Changan did not dare to neglect him. With the introduction of Yin Yuanhai, he stepped forward to greet him.

"I am Lu Changqing, a junior. I have long heard of the name of Alliance Leader Chu."

High-level cultivators are named after their surnames and Taoist names, which is a more common formal title.

For example, Zhang Tianfeng, except for old friends of the same period, new cultivators hundreds of years later rarely know his original real name.

"Master Lu, you and I are both Yuanying cultivators. There is no need to be so polite between peers."

Chu Tianfeng's voice was clear, steady and powerful.

When he first met Master Changqing, he looked at him with a slight smile.

Because of his higher realm, the Lu Changan that Chu Tianfeng saw was different from Yin Yuanhai's perception.

Chu Tianfeng had an illusion that he was not facing a newly promoted Nascent Soul, but an old Nascent Soul who seemed to have lived longer than himself.

As he had judged beforehand, in the environment of the East Region of Daqing, a person who could achieve Nascent Soul with the identity card of a casual cultivator and possess a fourth-level demon king was definitely not a simple person.

"It is a great honor for the Weidao League to have a hero like Lu Zhenjun."

Chu Tianfeng praised.

"Master Chu, you are too kind. I am ashamed to accept it."

Lu Changan said modestly. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to call those who can achieve Nascent Soul in the world of cultivation heroes.

"These two are Wei Zhenjun and Luo Zhenjun."

During the greetings, Yin Yuanhai briefly introduced the two Nascent Soul cultivators beside him. They were both old and "homeless" Zhenjuns, and their expressions showed fatigue.

Wei Zhenjun came from Blood Sword Valley. He was an old man with silver hair and a face like orange peel. He carried a long sword with blood-colored patterns on his back.

Luo Zhenjun came from another Yuanying force in the Eastern Region. He looked even older and more dejected, and one of his arms was broken.

Lu Changan's Changqing Gong could sense that the physical functions and life energy of these two Yuanying cultivators were not at their peak, and they were past their prime.

…

After a while, several Zhenjuns took their seats in the hall of the Weidao League.

Chu Tianfeng sat at the top, and Lu Changan declined and sat down in the second seat.

The other three Zhenjuns had no objection to this.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected. Even though Lu Changan was a latecomer to the Yuanying, he had a fourth-level demon king spirit pet, and his strength and status were above those of ordinary Yuanying Zhenjuns.

"I heard that when Zhenjun Lu defeated Zhenjun Heiyu, he captured his life-saving magic weapon [Black Sky Wing]?"

Chu Tianfeng said calmly.

"That's right!"

This matter is not a secret, Lu Changan admitted.

"A few months ago, the Beast King Valley sent envoys to the Wei Dao Alliance to put pressure on them. They said that Brother Lu killed the Yuanying of the Demonic Dao camp during the truce, unilaterally destroyed trade peace, and violated the agreement between the two camps."

Yin Yuanhai took over the conversation and explained the reason:

"The Beast King Valley severely condemned and threatened to force the Wei Dao Alliance to hand over the [Black Sky Wing] and compensate for the losses. Otherwise, the Beast King Valley may retaliate and tear up the peace trade agreement."

Lu Changan heard about the relevant information in Jinyun Valley, but he didn't take it to heart.

It's not a big deal for the winner to win the spoils when the hostile Yuanying fights.

Lu Changan also predicted that the Beast King Valley is unlikely to restart the war in the short term, at least until the Black Feather True Lord recovers his combat power.

"What does Alliance Leader Chu think of this matter?"

Lu Changan did not rebuke the Demonic Dao, but looked at Chu Tianfeng's attitude.

"From the results, it seems that we are in the wrong. But as far as Chu knows, at that time, near the border of the Wei Dao League, Hei Yu Zhenjun took the initiative to provoke and attack, and Zhenjun Lu fought back, which was not his fault."

Chu Tianfeng said in a calm tone, not caring.

Hearing this, Lu Changan nodded secretly.

Chu Tianfeng presided over the Wei Dao League, was fair and strict, and had a broad mind. Both Liang Jiaozhu and Zhang Tianfeng admired him.

"However, this matter may become an excuse for the Beast King Valley to restart the war in the future and force the Wei Dao League to make concessions."

Chu Tianfeng paused and changed the subject.

Lu Changan knew this was the fact.

The two camps are currently trading peacefully, but the Wei Dao League is the weaker party. This incident did give the Beast King Valley an excuse to counterattack.

"What does Zhenjun Lu think of the situation of the invasion of the Demon Dao?"

Chu Tianfeng took the initiative to ask, testing which faction Lu Changan belongs to.

The current Wei Dao League has two types of people in the upper echelons, the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction.

Lu Changan pondered, "Now the two camps are trading peacefully, and they seem to be recuperating, but the Weidao League is restricted in trade and is squeezed by the Beast King Valley to earn a profit difference. In the future, the Weidao League may rely more on the Beast King Valley for various immortal cultivation resources, and the speed of recuperation and development will not be as fast as the Demonic Camp."

"One grows while the other declines. If the war starts again in a few decades or hundreds of years, the Weidao League will have no chance of winning. It may even happen that the Beast King Valley can conquer the three countries without bloodshed without war."

Lu Changan is willing to tell the truth and his own opinions, and he has a certain selfishness.

Because he has no choice but to be the main war faction.

Lu Changan has a deep hatred with the high-level officials of the Beast King Valley, and he will have to find an opportunity to settle it in the future.

If the three countries of the Weidao League become vassals, he will not only have no chance of revenge, but may also be liquidated in reverse.

Unless Lu Changan is willing to hand over the [Black Sky Wing] and share the so-called beast taming inheritance or secret treasure with the Beast King Valley, he may be accepted.

On the contrary, the chaotic situation of the war of demons disrupts the normal order, which is conducive to the [Nine Seals] to devour the nutrients of the Nascent Soul.

In peacetime, order is stable. If you do such a thing, you will definitely be regarded as a demon by the surrounding forces and jointly eliminated.

"Haha! Master Lu's views coincide with Chu's."

After listening, Chu Tianfeng laughed heartily, as if he saw a fellow Taoist.

Because Chu Tianfeng is the number one advocate of war.

Otherwise, instead of signing a trade agreement decades ago, the three countries of the Weidao League would have directly become vassals.

The Weidao League has different opinions.

Those forces at or below the Jindan stage prefer a peaceful solution.

Even among the Yuanying Zhenjun, some people advocate peace.

For example, the Liuyang Zhenjun of the Jinyang Sect and the Jinyue Zhenjun of the Aoyue Palace both advocate peace and are unwilling to fight to the end.

The high-level cultivators of the Weidao League can naturally see the clues of the Beast King Valley's appeasement and assimilation strategy.

But even if the war starts now, the Weidao League cannot beat the Beast King Valley.

The Beast King Valley just doesn't want to pay too much and wants to conquer the three countries with less losses, or even without bloodshed.

Those who seek peace may not necessarily want to join the Demonic Dao camp. Some cultivators expect the situation to change in the future, such as the intervention of the Ten Sects of the Xuanmen in the Central Region, and usher in a turning point.

"The East Region of Daqing has many talents, but the environment and materials for cultivating immortals are not as good as those in the Central Region. Chu believes that the local cultivators in the East Region will be able to compete with the six sects of the Demonic Path one day."

Chu Tianfeng's eyes sparkled, and his voice revealed his strong will and confidence.

Lu Changan thought to himself that this person was worthy of being the first prodigy in the East Region for hundreds of years, with great talent and confidence.

Perhaps, only with such a firm and strong heart of Taoism could he break the shackles and become the first person to dominate all countries.

...

In the afternoon, Chu Tianfeng accompanied Lu Changan and briefly visited the layout where the Wei Dao League was good at.

The fourth-level spiritual vein here is relatively large in scale and can accommodate multiple Nascent Soul cultivators to practice at the same time.

Halfway through, Yin Yuanhai once again proposed a friendly exchange.

Chu Tianfeng was somewhat curious about Lu Changan's personal magical powers, which would be beneficial to the layout arrangements in future wars.

"You may not be interested in a simple sparring match. I'll offer a prize to liven things up. The winner of the sparring can choose one item from it."

Chu Tianfeng raised his hand, and several items floated in the air.

Including fourth-level spiritual pills for cultivation, fourth-level middle-grade spiritual wood, rare treasure mines, medicinal herbs and beast eggs...

Yin Yuanhai couldn't help but feel jealous and showed his interest.

These items are very attractive to the newly promoted Yuanying cultivators, and they are enough as prizes.

"Lu is really not good at fighting, and in terms of cultivation, he is not as good as a sitting spirit pet. Can I let Lu's spirit pet take action in this sparring?"

Lu Changan smiled apologetically.

He didn't want to fight in front of a mid-Yuanying cultivator and let some of his secrets be seen.

But the prize offered by Alliance Leader Chu was indeed attractive, and it was not easy to save face.

"Spirit pet? Is Lu Zhenjun serious?"

Yin Yuanhai raised his eyebrows, feeling unhappy, and his eyes became sharp.

Letting a spirit pet take the place of sparring is a bit insulting.

"Haha, Master Lu's pet has deep demonic power, and it was indeed promoted to the fourth level earlier."

Chu Tianfeng explained with a low laugh.

He said this to save his disciple's face.

If Master Di Yan had a higher cultivation level, it would not be too arrogant for Lu Changan to let him fight.

"Okay, Master Di Yan will experience the strength of the fourth-level rat king. When you get the prize, don't say that Yin won unfairly."

Yin Yuanhai accepted the fight.

The Weidao League has a closed fourth-level fighting space, which is convenient for Yuanying cultivators to exchange and test their magical powers.

The fighting space is a wasteland with mountains, covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

Lu Changan slapped the pet bag, and a dark yellow beam of light fell into the fighting space.

Huh!

Master Di Yan turned into a giant demon king, and sand and rocks flew everywhere. The powerful demonic power of the earth made the fighting space dark.

Master Wei and Master Luo, who were watching the battle, were moved.

Yin Yuanhai's face changed slightly, feeling the invisible pressure of the fourth-level demon king. The opponent's demon power was stronger than he expected.

"This demon is only slightly better than me in cultivation. It is not necessarily that the non-beast-controlling sect has a systematic magic spell. The same-level Yuanying cultivators often have an advantage in fighting wisdom and magic weapons."

Yin Yuanhai analyzed calmly and felt a little relieved.

In order to seize the initiative.

He took the lead in offering a pair of flying hammer magic weapons, like two giant millstones, whistling and slashing as fast as a meteor, breaking the mountains wherever they passed, leaving huge gullies.

At the same time, Yin Yuanhai stepped on the windmill vehicle to increase mobility, and attracted a piece of wind wheel blade light, greatly increasing the offensive.

"The Qianren Windmill is a public tool of the Weidao League, but it is currently used by Yin Yuanhai."

Wei Zhenjun and Luo Zhenjun looked at each other and did not point this out.

The process of the fight was unexpected.

The fourth-level rat king was powerful and skilled in magic. He used the yellow sandstorm to limit Yin Yuanhai's mobility, used the technique of escaping the ground to avoid major damage, and occasionally attacked at close range.

Yin Yuanhai's magic weapon attacks were either evaded or blocked by the hard claws and limbs of the fourth-level monster, only breaking the stone skin and scales on the rat king's body.

The fourth-level monster king has a strong physique, and its hard claws and teeth are not inferior to magic weapons of the same level.

Even if they fight hard, the Earth Rock Lord is not inferior at all.

"The overall quality of this spirit pet is not inferior to the fourth-level monster king in the Beast King Valley."

Chu Tianfeng's eyes were full of strange colors.

The two sides fought back and forth for two hours.

Even though Yin Yuanhai had the advantage of magic weapons, he did not have a substantial advantage.

On the contrary, his mana consumption was far greater than that of Di Yanjun.

In fact, Lu Changan equipped Di Yanjun with a set of magic weapons, but he did not use them.

In addition to [Soul Devouring Black Silk], there are two top-grade magic weapons for attack and defense.

For a fourth-level demon king, ordinary magic weapons do not increase much, and may not be as useful as flesh and claws. The main purpose is to increase the diversity of means.

Not letting Di Yanjun reveal his magic weapons is to prevent outsiders from discovering that Lu Changan's main pets are too redundant, and thus speculate on his past experience.

"This battle will end in a draw."

Chu Tianfeng raised his hand to stop Yin Yuanhai, who was about to burst out with true fire and secret techniques.

This kind of friendly competition is to stop at a certain point, and no killer moves will be used.

"A good teacher produces a good student. Master Yin has extraordinary magical powers. If I were to go on stage, I would be in trouble if my cultivation level is not as good as that of my pet."

Lu Changan smiled and said polite words.

Yin Yuanhai's face was hot and his heart was depressed.

He barely tied with Lu Changan's pet, sweating all over, which was really shameful.

Luckily it was a tie.

If he lost, he would not be able to raise his head in the circle of Yuanying cultivators of Weidao League and would be at the bottom of the contempt chain.

...

Although the competition was a tie, Chu Tianfeng was very generous and asked both sides to choose an item as a prize.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Changan chose a piece of fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual wood, which was in line with the positioning of his practice.

In addition to the two pieces of fourth-grade middle-grade Tianshan wood obtained from collecting debts in Lihuo Palace, Lu Changan has a rich reserve of fourth-grade spiritual wood.

This will give the outside world an illusion that Lu Changan is preparing a wood-based magic weapon.

In fact, unless this level of spiritual wood continues to grow and nourish, and invests in lifespan improvement, it will not be enough for Lu Changan to refine magic weapons.

After returning to Daqing, he prepared to challenge the fourth-level talisman refining master, and strive to cultivate a fourth-level middle-grade treasure talisman in the future.

Lu Changan did not stay long at the Weidao League headquarters.

After the competition, he used the tens of thousands of rewarded war merits to exchange for several precious materials in the treasure house.

One of the precious meteorite gold can increase the sharpness of magic weapons and can carry powerful magic weapon refining bans.

Fortunately, the nail-headed arrow requires less weight, and Lu Changan used several spiritual materials that the Weidao League lacked to exchange some war merits, and then the exchange was successful.

The other few precious materials are suitable for refining magic weapons and can also be used to refine puppets, so outsiders can't tell whether they are real or fake.

That night, Lu Changan set off to leave the Weidao League.

Yin Yuanhai sent him out of the headquarters to report to his master Chu Tianfeng.

"Shame on you!"

"Evergreen Master's pet is enough to suppress you, why don't you go back and practice well."

No one was around, Chu Tianfeng reprimanded him with a gloomy face.

Yin Yuanhai was speechless.

It was he who took the initiative to test Lu Chang'an's personal strength by sparring.

In addition to pleasing his master and testing his background, he was not completely convinced by Lu Chang'an, who was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage at the same time.

Yin Yuanhai had heard about Lu Chang'an's early fraud of [Taiyin Jade Liquid] and then running away, so he naturally didn't think highly of him.

He thought that Lu Chang'an's defeat of Black Feather Master was due to luck, the help of the fourth-level pet's surprise attack, and the enemy's underestimation of the enemy.

...

The next day, Lu Chang'an rode the Xuanshui giant turtle to visit the Aoyue Palace of the Nascent Soul force of Fengguo.

With his current status and position, Lu Chang'an did not need to meet Fairy Xia in private, but could visit directly and openly.

Swoosh!

Sensing the visitor of the Nascent Soul cultivator, a cold golden rainbow appeared in the Aoyue Palace.

"It turns out to be Changqing Zhenjun. What's the matter with you visiting this palace?"

The golden light faded, revealing a female Zhenjun wearing a phoenix crown and a golden robe, who said indifferently.

Jinyue Zhenjun looked less than 30 years old, with cinnabar on her forehead, cold phoenix eyes, and a strong aura that concealed her beauty, like an empress who ruled the world.

Compared with Chu Tianfeng's welcome to Lu Changan, Jinyue Zhenjun's expression and attitude were slightly wary, not particularly welcoming.

Lu Changan could understand it, after all, he had secretly taken the [Taiyin Jade Liquid] of his disciple Xia Wenyue.

After all, Aoyue Palace cultivated Xia Wenyue, protected this innate Taoist body, and successfully formed a pill and grew up, and invested a lot of financial resources and efforts.

"Lu is now also a veteran of the Weidao League, although he rejected the good intentions of the 'deputy leader' Chu. Today, Lu came to visit Aoyue Palace to meet his old friend and junior. I think the palace master will not refuse him, right?"

Lu Changan said calmly.

"Changqing Zhenjun is now famous in the Weidao League. How dare I stop him?"

Jinyue Zhenjun looked at Lu Changan, and after a few breaths of silence, he raised his white hand to invite him.

A year ago, the news that Lu Changan had returned after giving birth to a baby made Jinyue Zhenjun depressed and broke several of his treasured jades on the spot.

That year, Lu Wugui stole the "opportunity" belonging to Aoyue Palace, which was how he could successfully give birth to a baby.

This is more uncomfortable than having a cabbage that has been raised for many years being eaten by a pig.

Aoyue Palace, welcoming hall.

Lu Changan and Jinyue Zhenjun chatted casually, which was very boring.

There was a gap between the two sides, they were not compatible, and they did not get along.

Lu Changan also kept a distance from this strong and domineering female Zhenjun.

...

It was not until Fairy Xia arrived that the awkwardness between the two was broken.

A long-lost ice-beautiful figure, with black hair falling, surrounded by the cold air of ice lotus, entered the welcoming hall.

"Wenyue greets the palace master and meets Lu Zhenjun."

The female cultivator who came was wearing a moon-white palace dress, with picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful nose and cherry lips, a willow-like waist, and a temperament as beautiful as snow.

Compared with a hundred years ago, Xia Wenyue has not changed much, but the loneliness between her eyebrows is more intense. The icy eyes are like cold autumn water, freezing the mind and making people stay away.

"Wenyue, Master Lu was your teacher back then. Today he is visiting Aoyue Palace. Please accompany him to reminisce about the past."

The Master of Aoyue Palace glanced at Xia Wenyue and was not happy with this female disciple.

She simply left, out of sight, out of mind, and let the two reminisce about the past in the palace.

Xia Wenyue, who possessed the [Taiyin Jade Liquid], was once of great value to Aoyue Palace, and even had strategic significance.

Later, she disobeyed her master's orders and fought against Master Jinyue for outsiders. Since then, she has "fallen out of favor" and has been neglected in Aoyue Palace.

"Wenyue, I'm sorry for making you suffer these years."

Lu Changan walked forward and looked at Fairy Xia, who had become a little thinner.

Once upon a time, this female cultivator truly admired him, gave him her first time, and risked her life to protect him, disobeying her master's orders.

Lu Changan felt pity and raised his hand to gently support Fairy Xia's shoulders to comfort her.

"Master Lu, please respect yourself!"

A cold and delicate shout suddenly sounded in the palace.
