The first year of Lu Changan's later period of foundation building has passed, and his age has reached 141 years old.
Some of the sect's new foundation-building geniuses may have been born a hundred years after him.
At the same time, the Black Water Turtle will turn one hundred years old this year.
Due to the slow growth characteristics of Xuan Shui Turtle, it normally takes one to two hundred years to advance to the second level.
Of course, we do not rule out certain opportunities. Obtaining the legendary spiritual objects of heaven and earth can greatly improve your cultivation.
Some people who are interested, such as the beast-controlling Zhou family, speculate that Lu Changan may have some special secrets.
However, with Lu Changan's current strength and connections, protecting some small secrets is no longer a problem.
The Xuan Shui Turtle's advancement speed is still relatively slow, far inferior to most spiritual pet monsters of the same level of bloodline.
The Black Water Turtle's defense is good, but its attack power is average. It is not very attractive to big forces and upper-level monks, and it is not cost-effective to raise.
The biggest advantage is that the Black Water Turtle is a long-lived species, and its lifespan is far longer than that of most living creatures.
Not long after Xuan Shui Turtle turned one hundred years old.
Jiang Yechen finally arrived at Wu Qi Mountain.
He didn't come alone, he also brought with him several young members of the Jiang family who were in the Qi refining stage.
…
"Shi Xianzi has been waiting for a long time. Jiang has been recovering from his injuries for several months, and a lot of time has been lost due to the resettlement of his clan members."
Xiaopanfeng, Jiang Yechen cupped his hands and said apologetically.
Jiang Yechen was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His handsome face showed a hint of fatigue, and he looked five or six years older than before.
Although her appearance is not as good as when she was young, her past femininity has also been greatly reduced.
"It is understandable that I have heard about what happened to the Jiang family."
Fairy Shi welcomed Jiang Yechen into the cave with an elegant smile.
Lu Changan, who was in Xiaogui Peak, saw this scene in his eyes and did not go over it immediately.
Shi Xianzi's recovery of memory is a private matter. The outside world does not know the real reason.
Inside the cave in Xiaopanfeng.
After talking in secret for nearly an hour, Shi Manrong sent Jiang Yechen out of the cave.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang will wait for two days at Wuqi Mountain and allow me to think about it."
On that day, Jiang Yechen and his party were arranged in Wu Qishan's guest room.
At night, Shi Xianzi came to Xiaogui Peak and secretly discussed with Lu Changan.
"This time, Jiang Yechen didn't make any excessive demands such as the main medicine of the elixir. But the conditions offered by this person are still not low."
Shi Manrong stated.
Jiang Yechen put forward two conditions.
First, purchase a batch of war preparation materials at a low price, involving formations, talismans, and elixirs, with a total price of more than 20,000 spiritual stones.
The price Jiang Yechen offered was very low, only 60% of the market price.
Second, place several young and promising Qi Refining clan members from the Jiang family in Wuqi Mountain.
During the war, Shi Xianzi must take good care of their safety and provide a spiritual dojo for practice, no more than twenty years at most.
The conditions proposed by Jiang Yechen are in line with the current situation of the Jiang family.
"Jiang Yechen's vision is not bad. The geographical environment of Wuqi Mountain is suitable for the younger generation to take refuge."
Lu Changan thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Wuqi Mountain is located in the northwest direction of the hinterland of Liang Kingdom, and further north is the Black Mist Mountain Range.
At present, the war to cultivate immortals is mainly concentrated in the southern border area of Liang Kingdom, and it is not so quick to reach the central area radiated from Lihuo Palace.
Wuqi Mountain is not far from the center of Liang Kingdom. There are escape routes to the north and west, and the news is also well-informed.
Furthermore, Wu Qi Mountain is a stronghold of casual cultivators. Even if the Liang Kingdom is defeated one day, it will not become a key target of the Feng Kingdom's immortal cultivators.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi discussed it and generally agreed to Jiang Yechen's conditions, but they had to negotiate a lower price.
"By the way, on the way to Wu Qi Mountain, Jiang Yechen encountered a trick from the Immortal Cultivation Circle of Feng Kingdom and was temporarily recruited by the monks from Lihuo Palace, which delayed him for some time."
"The enemy's detailed work?"
Lu Changan realized that today's Liang Kingdom is more chaotic than in previous years, and there are some hidden dangers.
Even in the rear area, it is not necessarily safe.
As the war continues, there will be more spies and scouts in the Fengguo Immortal Realm, infiltrating into the rear of the battlefield to stir up trouble and create chaos.
It can be expected that there is still room for price increases for high-end array props.
…
Two days later.
Shi Xianzi and Jiang Yechen negotiated again and reached a deal agreement.
Both parties were sincere in their transactions and were not the type to fight for every penny, so it didn't take too long.
Master Shixianzi promised to take care of the Jiang family members within his ability for fifteen years.
The combat preparation resources provided are mainly formations and talismans, which are 30% lower than the market price.
This time, Lu Changan was also present and promised some relatively low-priced talismans.
Regarding repairing memory, Shi Xianzi made a point and asked Lu Changan to protect the law in case of any unexpected events.
It's called protecting the law, but it's actually monitoring.
Jiang Yechen reluctantly agreed and said: "In normal times, Jiang would not show that treasure to outsiders, let alone damage its spirituality."
"I hope you two will keep Jiang's attack a secret and make an oath to your inner demons."
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi agreed, and took advantage of the situation to make Jiang Yechen swear an oath to keep the details of this transaction confidential.
After both parties took an oath.
Shi Xianzi opened a secret room so that Jiang Yechen could take action and help her regain her memory.
In the secret room.
The three of them each sat cross-legged on a futon.
Jiang Yechen and Shi Manrong sat opposite each other.
"start!"
Jiang Yechen made the secret in his hand, and a wave of spiritual consciousness surged through his body that exceeded the peak of foundation building.
Buzz!
A piece of warm green jade floated in the palm of his hand, surrounded by translucent blue light patterns.
Jiang Yechen pointed a finger, and the crystal warm jade turned into the size of a palm and stuck to Fairy Shi's forehead.
"The rare soul treasure? It's at least the third-level mid-grade."
Lu Changan noticed that there were several small cracks on the surface of this piece of warm jade, indicating that it was lacking in spirituality.
"What a waste of natural resources."
Lu Changan thought to himself, guessing the approximate capabilities of this rare soul treasure.
It can nourish and repair the soul, temporarily increase the strength of the divine consciousness during battle, or resist the mystical attacks of the divine consciousness.
However, due to his own limitations, Jiang Yechen has been asking for the power of this piece of warm jade all year round, but he is unable to nurture it, resulting in a bit of spiritual loss.
Perhaps Jiang Yechen himself was damaged when he obtained the treasure.
As Jiang Yechen cast the spell, the lingering translucent blue wave light patterns merged into Fairy Shi's eyebrows like flowing water and entered the sea of consciousness.
Master Shixianzi was calm and peaceful, showing no signs of discomfort.
Lu Changan's consciousness was stronger than Jiang Yechen's, so he secretly observed to make sure Jiang Yechen was not playing any tricks.
Jiang Yechen has a soul treasure and a keen sense, and he is vaguely aware of the existence of a spiritual consciousness beyond his own.
"It's a big deal this time..."
His heart was filled with fear and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine. He made his moves more cautiously, not daring to touch the memories in Master Xianzi's sea of consciousness.
Jiang Yechen dared to come to Master Fairy's territory alone and was in the same room with two late-stage foundation builders. He was somewhat confident in his own strength.
Among them, spiritual consciousness is one of his major advantages.
With strong spiritual consciousness, one can often predict the enemy beforehand, and by adding magic weapons to them, the power will be stronger.
At this moment, Jiang Yechen realized that Wu Qishan had hidden strength and was much stronger than he expected.
This move involves quite a bit of risk.
Lu Changan knew that Jiang Yechen might have noticed it and didn't mind it very much.
First, Jiang Yechen noticed that the powerful spiritual consciousness was not definitely from Lu Changan. It could also be that there was a fake elixir master hidden in Wu Qi Mountain.
Of the two, there were only two important things left in his cultivation of immortality in the Liang Kingdom, both of which were closely related to the formation of pills, and the ancient ruins were one of them.
After the matter is dealt with, Lu Changan will flee to another country, even if part of his strength may be exposed, it will be of no concern.
In the process of repairing his memory, Jiang Yechen spent a lot of energy.
Every half day, he would meditate and adjust his breathing for several hours.
…
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
On the adjacent Xiaodan Peak.
"It's been seven days, and the three fellow Taoists, Master Shixianzi, haven't come out yet?"
Ye Fei was shocked and confused, looking at Xiaopanfeng with the formation tightly closed, he felt something strange.
In Xiaopanfeng, Master Xianzi's cave, no male cultivators were allowed to stay overnight, except for Lu Changan, a former sweetheart.
Even for Lu Changan, he would stay overnight at most.
For seven days and seven nights, two men and one woman stayed inside the cave without leaving the door, which was indeed a bit unusual.
At sunset.
The three foundation-building monks finally walked out of the cave in Xiaopanfeng.
Lu Changan and Master Shixianzi sent Jiang Yechen out with smiles on their faces.
"I hope you two will keep your promise."
Jiang Yechen looked bad, took a deep look at Lu Changan and flew out of Xiaopan Peak.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang."
When passing by Xiaodanfeng, Ye Fei took the initiative to say hello and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Hiss! Jiang Yechen's face is pale and his feet are weak. He seems to be lacking in vitality?"
Seeing that handsome figure, Ye Fei was shocked.
Lenovo said that the three of them were in the cave and did not come out for seven days and seven nights. His expression was extremely wonderful.
"Fellow Taoist Master, please rest and review for a few days."
Lu Changan chatted with Fairy Shi for a few words, and then flew out of Xiaopan Peak.
Sensing the gaze, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Danfeng on the other side.
"Friend Lu Dao."
Ye Fei smiled and exchanged a few words in the air.
Wait until Lu Changan returns to Xiaogui Peak.
Ye Fei was filled with admiration: "Friend Lu Taoist's cultivation of health skills is really extraordinary. After seven days and seven nights, his face does not change. He is different from Jiang Yechen's silver-gun wax head."
…
A few days later.
Shi Manrong went to Xiaogui Peak and had a secret conversation with Lu Changan.
"How is the situation of fellow Taoist masters?"
"The sea of consciousness has stabilized, and many memories have been restored, including some of the conditions inside the ancient ruins."
Shi Manrong paused and said hesitantly:
"But I am not sure whether all the memories have been restored."
"It's good that the key memory has been restored."
Lu Changan comforted him.
"I want to make sure?"
Master Shixianzi's voice is gentle and soft, and her dignified and graceful appearance reveals a soft and charming style.
"How can Fairy Master determine this?" Lu Changan remained calm.
"Friend Lu Dao, am I beautiful?"
Shi Manrong leaned forward gently, a light blush appearing on the silver plate-like outline of her face.
Wearing a moon-white dress, she has a plump and elegant figure. She lifts up her skirt, turns her delicate body, and sits astride Lu Changan's lap with her round and plump buttocks.
Lu Changan felt that this scene seemed familiar.
He quickly recalled that this was the first close interaction between him and Shi Xianzi many years ago.
That time, Shi Xianzi, in order to break the restrictions in the sea of consciousness, played hard to get and seduced Lu Changan.
"Fairy Master, have you thought clearly?"
Lu Changan smiled half-heartedly and put his arms around her waist.
The above situation is the same as before.
This time, Master Shixianzi did not play hard to get.
Her face was as bright as the morning glow, and she put her head close to Lu Changan, and the fragrance like night lilac came over her.
Outside the cave, the moonlight is particularly charming.
As time went by, Shi Xianzi's hairpins were messy, her mouth smelled of orchids, and her face became more and more rosy.
Finally, she collapsed in Lu Changan's arms. One of her slender legs was raised in a graceful arc, and the embroidered shoes fell off, revealing her jade feet wrapped in ice silk stockings.
Early next morning.
Lu Changan looked at Shi Xianzi, who had tidied her dress and looked spotless, dignified and quiet.
Since pretending to be in love with Zhou Qingxuan, this is the first time Shi Xianzi has had an intimate relationship with him.
Perhaps it was the restoration of memory and the accumulation of two emotions that broke the routine.
"Friend Lu Dao, last night was the last time."
Shi Xianzi's eyes were clear and her face was unusually peaceful, as if she had gone back to the female array mage who was as pale as a chrysanthemum when we met at Wu Qi Mountain seventy years ago.
"Understood, from now on you and I will have a pure relationship as Taoist friends."
Lu Changan already had a premonition that last night's indulgence was the final farewell to the flirtatious relationship between Master Shixianzi and him.
Under the huge temptation of ancient ruins, even true Taoist couples who have known each other for hundreds of years may kill each other.
To be honest, Lu Changan was already very relieved that Fairy Shi didn't stab him in the back when they were getting close last night.
With memories of his previous two lives, he had seen too many deceptions, and Lu Changan was even wary of it.
His physical training is comparable to that of the real person with fake elixirs, and his evergreen skills are resistant to poison. If he takes precautions, he will naturally not overturn.
"Individual affairs and transactions should be discussed separately, this is what Lu Daoyou once said."
Master Shixianzi smiled beautifully.
"That ancient ruins was discovered by me. Without profound knowledge of formations, it is impossible to conquer it. We will harvest six or four points from the ruins. Do you have any opinions, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Lu is just a helper who joined in halfway, and he is satisfied with getting 40%."
Lu Changan had no objection.
In fact, this kind of verbal agreement is of little significance unless everything goes smoothly and there is no fight or competition.
Entering ancient ruins, you may encounter various accidents, strength is king.
"Okay then, you and I will prepare for another two months before heading to the Black Mist Mountains together."
After saying this, Master Shixianzi left calmly.
Lu Changan was thoughtful, Shi Xianzi had recovered his memory, had a certain understanding of the ancient ruins, and would make some preparations to deal with it.
From this perspective, Shi Xianzi has more control.
"Back then, the fake elixir master named 'Qi Zhenren' planted a ban to force the control master fairy, and finally got trapped in the ancient ruins and died."
Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly and he thought.
Regarding this incident, Shi Xianzi denied that it was his own plan.
The real person was coerced first, and his wealth and life were controlled. Even if it was really Shi Xianzi's method, there is nothing wrong with it.
…
In two months, Lu Changan would naturally have to prepare a lot.
Take inventory of the magic weapons, talismans, talismans, puppet elixirs, etc.
Now, he has ten or twenty quasi-third-level ordinary talismans in his hand.
There are more than forty treasure talismans, all of which have power exceeding the third level. Among them, there are more than ten treasure talismans with third-level spiritual wood as the carrier, and their power reaches the lowest level of the third level.
There are several top-tier second-level puppets.
For a quasi-third-level puppet, Lu Changan had insufficient attainments and insufficient materials, so he could only refine a puppet whose defense was equivalent to that of a quasi-third-level puppet.
In addition, there are precious elixirs that enhance mana.
A month later, Lu Changan was ready.
At this time, an urgent letter from Tiexing Villa arrived at Xiaogui Peak.
"Zheng Centipede died on the frontline battlefield."
Lu Changan muttered after reading the letter.
There was some socializing on the 4th, so there will be no updates.
