Ji Yifeng talks and laughs happily and does not regard himself as a real person.
As early as when he was in Huanglong Fairy City, Lu Changan had heard that Ji Yifeng was kind to people, made good friends, and attracted many talents to Huanglong Mountain.
As the great disciple of Master Huang Long, he has a good reputation from the outside world and is an elegant Master.
After only chatting for a quarter of an hour, Lu Changan felt like they were in the same mood.
He could suddenly understand why Master Huang Long focused more on cultivating Ji Yifeng back then.
His personal charm is definitely not comparable to that of He Yuanwu.
"Little friend Lu, this is the material that junior sister asked me to hand over to you."
Ji Yifeng was good at talking, but not verbose. He quickly got to the point and handed over a storage bag.
"Senior Ji, please bother me and make a trip in person."
Lu Changan counted the materials in the storage bag and confirmed that they were correct.
He was prepared to add 10% to the fee, but Ji Yifeng refused. In the end, the purchase price of this batch of materials was lower than the market price.
It is equivalent to saying that Huanglongshan helped Lu Changan complete the acquisition free of charge through its own chamber of commerce channels at cost price.
If it were Lu Changan's personal acquisition, it might not be possible to complete it in more than ten years.
"Actually, Junior Sister sincerely wants to meet Little Friend Lu, but a certain wish has been granted."
Ji Yifeng smiled with a meaningful look on his face.
"The days are long, and I believe there will be a day when I can meet Master Fu again."
Lu Changan did not refuse outright.
Looking back at this moment, the last time he had a face-to-face conversation with Fu Xuemei as Lu Changan was before the foundation was established.
Fifty or sixty years passed.
After the elixir is formed, Lu Changan doesn't mind meeting Fu Xuemei.
If that day comes, I don’t know what it will be like.
"Fellow Daoist Lu raises tortoises and grows grass in Wuqi Mountain. He is carefree and carefree, which is enviable. However, being in a corner may also create constraints and make the monks lose their enterprising spirit."
"Moreover, troubled times may have arrived in the world of immortality. Fellow Daoist Lu, have you not considered joining a certain force?"
Ji Yifeng changed the topic to the second purpose of the trip.
"A certain force, such as Huanglong Mountain?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed.
"Haha! Ji really appreciates Lu Xiaoyou's frankness."
Ji Yifeng stroked his beard and laughed loudly.
"We, Huanglong Mountain, recruit talents, especially those like Taoist Fellow Lu who are reliable and have a clean background. Besides, Fellow Daoist Lu built the foundation of Huanglong Immortal City back then and is related to our lineage..."
Ji Yifeng was not only moved by his love, but also promised generous treatment.
"Senior Ji is disappointed. Lu is used to being idle and has no intention of joining any force for the time being."
Lu Changan pondered for a moment and refused.
If the world of cultivating immortals falls into troubled times, Lu Changan, as a craftsman, can actually consider leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade and joining a righteous and lawful force.
However, Huanglong Mountain is by no means a good choice.
Huanglong's life is approaching the end of his life. Once he passes away in the middle of the alchemy process, the prestige and influence of Huanglong Mountain will fall to the bottom.
By then, the core power of Huanglong Fairy City may usher in new struggles and reshuffles.
Lu Changan didn't want to get caught up in that kind of fight.
"If you guys from Japan and China figure it out, Huanglong Mountain will open the door for you."
Ji Yifeng was not surprised and did not force anything.
Half an hour later, the most experienced fake elixir master in Huanglong Mountain said goodbye and left.
This scene was naturally noticed by the other two main peaks of Wuqi Mountain, as well as the many casual cultivators attached to them.
Although there are many other forces recruiting the three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain, it is extremely rare for a fake elixir master like Ji Yifeng to visit them personally.
…
A few days later, Alchemist Lin Ye came to the cave in Xiaoguifeng again to refine the elixir for Lu Changan.
This time, Lin Ye stayed in Xiaogui Peak for more than a month.
Provided there are sufficient materials.
Lin Ye successively refined "Xuanwu Pill", "Xueyang Pill", and "Qisha Pill" for Lu Changan.
Among them, Xuanwu Dan is a level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building, and there are two pills.
This elixir is a second-level top-grade elixir. Due to limitations in cultivation, Lin Ye's performance was not perfect and did not reach the expected three elixirs.
Blood Yang Pill, five pills.
Qisha Dan, four pills.
In addition, Lin Ye also refined some second-level fine elixirs for him with other functions, such as healing wounds, restoring energy, and detoxifying.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, this is your reward."
This time, Lu Changan gave Lin Ye another top-quality magic weapon, a dozen second-level and top-grade talismans.
After refining the elixir twice before and after, Lu Changan took some care of him in terms of remuneration, which was more than normal.
On the one hand, he was thinking about old feelings, and on the other hand, Lin Ye allowed him to watch and explain during the alchemy process.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, when you return to Wuqi Mountain, you are taking great care of me. This second-level alchemy master's inheritance is Lin's heartfelt wish."
Lin Ye took out a jade tube.
After staying in Wuqi Mountain for several months, Lin Ye almost recovered and acquired a complete set of protection methods.
He plans to leave Wuqi Mountain in the near future.
After Lin Ye left, Lu Changan took out the jade tube, scanned it with his consciousness, and nodded slightly.
This is the inheritance of a second-level high-grade alchemist. There is no unique skill, it is quite satisfactory.
Although this inheritance does not have Lin Ye's unique skills, it is a rare opportunity for monks who have Zhidan Dao.
Taking into account this alchemy master inheritance, Lin Ye not only did not take advantage of Lu Changan, but also paid a higher value.
Two days later.
Alchemist Lin Ye left Wuqi Mountain, and the three peak masters each sent a small gift.
When saying goodbye, Lin Ye took a deep breath and revealed his greatest ambition for the rest of his life:
He will devote all his efforts to cultivate an outstanding successor of alchemy.
"Lin Ye's real alchemy skills may have reached the third level. Xuanwu Dan only made two pills. Maybe he is hiding his clumsiness..."
Watching Lin Ye's old figure leave, Lu Changan thought, with a trace of uncertainty in his heart.
…
More than half a year later.
Xiaopanfeng Cave, in the elegant room filled with sandalwood.
Lu Changan felt refreshed and sat up from the soft couch, placing his palms on Shi Xianzi's smooth and beautiful back.
Under the messy ice silk quilt, there is a plump body with skin like frozen snow, without any hair. The convex curves and slender jade legs are looming, such a scenery makes people daydream.
"Lu Lang, we are so honest with each other, but you hide so many things from me?"
Shi Xianzi's face like morning glow, accompanied by waterfall-like hair, emerged from the quilt, resting on Lu Changan's waist and crotch.
"How do you say this? We have a deep friendship. If you have any dissatisfaction, there is no need to hide it."
Lu Changan smiled and looked at the angry and resentful female array mage.
In today's Wuqishan, the "scandal" that the two may have had an affair spreads in a small area.
However, neither of them admits their relationship to the outside world, and they have no idea of becoming a spiritual couple.
"You hide a lot from me."
Shi Xianzi's voice is soft and smooth, and has the lazy feeling of a mature woman.
"For example, if you eat alone and take the 'Yan Zhu Dan', you won't share it with me."
"Hey! You can see all this."
Lu Changan pretended to be surprised.
The efficacy of the Beauty Pill is revealed intentionally or unintentionally during the absorption process.
Ye Fei is proficient in pharmacology, so he should have noticed it, but he didn't say it directly.
"Hmph! I have been maintaining my beauty for many years, and I once took a beauty-preserving pill. How could I not see the efficacy of this pill?"
Shi Manrong also sat up from the quilt, using only a shallow layer of silk quilt to cover her snow-white and warm red body.
"It's not that I intentionally concealed it. This matter involves some unspeakable secrets of Master Lin..."
Lu Changan smiled bitterly and pushed back.
"As expected, it is the Beauty Pill that Master Lin helped you refine. Ye Fei has no experience in refining this pill."
Shi Manrong pursed her lips and smiled softly, spreading her jade palms.
"Have you ever taken the Beauty Pill?"
"A second-level beauty-preserving elixir can only maintain its best effect for a hundred years, and the beauty-preserving effect will diminish in the future."
Teacher Manrong said with a smile.
After all, the Beauty Pill cannot change the essence of life, it can only maintain the superficial youthful appearance.
No matter how powerful the second-level elixir is, it cannot maintain its effects for hundreds or thousands of years.
Lu Changan sighed, took out a Beauty Pill, and handed it to Shi Manrong.
Shi Manrong rarely showed a happy expression, her pretty eyes were bright, and she took this beauty pill directly.
"It can be inferred from this that you must have kept secrets about the ancient ruins from me."
Shi Manrong stood up, put on her dress, tied up her hair, regained her dignity and grace, and looked at Lu Changan with a half-smile.
"As of now, I can no longer hide it from Master Fairy."
Lu Changan tidied his clothes and returned to his normal etiquette tone from the lover's tryst relationship.
Then, he told in more detail what happened before Master Xianzi lost his memory.
With the relationship between the two today, it is natural for them to mention the secrets from back then.
Lu Changan didn't know much about the specifics of ancient ruins.
Shi Manrong listened very carefully and looked thoughtful.
"I won't hide it from fellow Daoist Lu. Due to my incomplete memory, I have been looking for the location of the ancient ruins for these years, and I can only get a few clues."
Shi Manrong said distressedly.
She suggested: "Since Fellow Daoist Lu knows about this matter, you and I might as well cooperate and find together..."
Lu Changan shook his head: "Not as good as Master Fairy, his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Whether Lu can be promoted to the later stage of Foundation Establishment is still unknown, so we won't mention it for now."
In fact, the "Yin Yang Water" and "Xuanmu Vine" in the ancient ruins have great appeal to Lu Changan.
Yin and yang water can break the elixir and reshape it, improving the quality of the elixir.
Black wood vine is an excellent heaven and earth spiritual object for creating wood-based natal magic weapons.
"I believe that it will be easy for Lu Daoyou to advance to the late stage of foundation building."
Shi Manrong looked at him with eyes as calm as water, whether it was a test or a genuine confidence in Lu Changan.
"hope so."
Lu Changan was noncommittal, glanced at her, and said tentatively:
"If Shi Xianzi has attainments as a third-level formation mage, and Lu is lucky enough to be promoted to the late stage of foundation building in the future, this matter can be discussed."
"Due to the limitations of my cultivation, my formation skills are already at the limit of being able to reach the third level. Ordinary third-level formation masters are at least fake elixir masters."
Shi Manrong sighed quietly and claimed that it was difficult.
Lu Changan couldn't tell the truth from the truth, even if they were related to each other to the point where they were familiar with every inch of each other's skin.
However, today's showdown has taken the relationship between the two parties a step further.
This leaves a preliminary intention for future cooperation.
"This is the cost of Zhuyan Dan."
Before leaving, Shi Manrong handed a brocade bag containing spiritual stones to Lu Changan.
The two have similar ideas, have a good impression of each other, develop a romantic relationship, and relieve the loneliness and needs on the road of spiritual practice.
Shi Xianzi never thinks that she has suffered a loss.
In terms of transactions, the two do not involve their personal feelings, and at most they give some concessions.
…
Three months later.
Lu Changan is over one hundred and thirty years old.
Four years have passed since he reached the sixth level of foundation building. It is expected that it will take more than ten years to reach the seventh level of foundation building, which will become the same level of major repair in the later stage of foundation building.
On this day, the Earth Rock Rat presented a letter from Jinyun Valley to the cave.
This letter was sent by Zhao Siyao's disciple "Zhao Tan'er".
Zhao Siyao had promised before going on the expedition that she would pass news from the front back to her female disciples.
Zhao Tan'er is in the middle stage of foundation building. He has excellent talents, lively temperament, has many friends in the sect, and is well-informed.
"It has been nearly two years since the second batch of monks from the Liang Kingdom sect went on an expedition. I don't know how Daoyou Zhao and Daoyou Zhang are doing on the battlefields in neighboring countries."
Lu Changan looked cautious and opened the letter.
There was an error in the previous chapter. It will take more than ten years for Lu Changan to reach the late stage of foundation construction, not five or six years. It has been corrected.. (Update No. 2 will be delayed)
