After Ming Shui Zhenjun left, the two people in the phantom formation breathed a sigh of relief.
In the previous battle, Lu Changan had used a secret medicine to increase his strength; both Earth Rock Rat and Jing Wufeng were injured, and their vitality was greatly reduced when they used the secret technique to explode.
Under such circumstances, one would naturally not want to cause trouble and fight a bitter battle with a powerful evil Nascent Soul.
After a while, the spoils were distributed.
Lu Changan sealed the Great Essence Pill and the Stone Dragon's Heart.
In addition, he got one-third of the dragon scales, bones, dragon blood, dragon muscles and other materials.
Jing Wufeng obtained valuable materials such as dragon eyes, dragon claws, and blood essence, but overall they were far inferior to Lu Changan.
Of course, even if the Stone Heart Dragon has a heavenly bloodline, it is not considered a real dragon. It is just comparable to a dragon with a purer bloodline.
On top of the Tianpin bloodline, there is also the legendary True Spirit bloodline, which has the potential to grow into a True Spirit.
Half an hour later.
Jing Wufeng's expression improved a lot, and he suggested: "The demon Stone Heart Dragon was killed, and there may be some rare treasures left in its lair."
Lu Changan nodded. After all, many dragons have a hobby of collecting.
After putting away the formation, the two quickly flew to Shi Xinlong's lair.
As a result, it was too late. The lair of Shixinlong was in a mess. Someone had dug up three feet of the ground and there were still water stains.
"Let that woman pick it up."
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng looked at each other, inevitably a little unhappy.
They fought hard to kill Shi Xinlong and took a lot of risks, but in the end, the evil female Yuanying took advantage.
However, neither of them had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, and it was difficult for them to question or cause trouble to True Monarch Ming Shui.
True Monarch Ming Shui is not a casual cultivator. He is backed by the "Black Sea Sect", one of the sixteen sects in Zhenhai, and its power is not inferior to that of Daqing's Beast King Valley.
…
at the same time.
In the caves deeper in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Wearing a black veil and long hair hanging down to his waist, Ming Shui Zhenjun held a simple oil lamp in his hand.
The lamp holder is made of soul-nurturing wood, and the halo that lights up inside it is wrapped in a ball of miserable cyan broken ghosts.
"Fellow Taoist Mingshui, I am fortunate to be in your hands. Over the years, I have been sealed by Shilong's restrictions. It is difficult to prevent the day when the demonized Shixinlong completely loses control and backfires on his master..."
The aura of the broken ghost fell to the foundation building stage, and the sound transmission channel was communicated.
"My main body is trapped in a forbidden area deep in the ancient battlefield. In that forbidden area, there is an opportunity to advance to the late stage of Nascent Soul. As long as fellow Taoist Mingshui can help me, I will be grateful when my main body is revealed again."
After hearing the temptation of Shura Ghost Lord's split soul, True Lord Mingshui had no emotion on his face and said in a calm tone.
"I have come to the forbidden area in the Central Territory because I have other important matters. I am sorry that I am helpless because of the situation of fellow Taoist Shura."
After that, she closed the lamp.
Shura Ghost King is a leader in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and even he is trapped in a forbidden area, his situation is unknown, and he cannot escape.
In such a dangerous place, True Monarch Ming Shui would naturally not take risks.
Besides, she did have something important to do when she came to the ancient forbidden land in the Central Region.
"Wait a minute! What's the matter with Fellow Daoist Mingshui coming to the ancient battlefield? I know the situation around the Ten Thousand Demons Valley very well."
The miserable blue ghost on the lamp was anxious to express his worth.
Hearing this, Zhenjun Mingshui's heart moved, and his deep black pearl-like eyes showed a look of contemplation.
In recent years, True Lord Ming Shui has come to the forbidden areas of the Central Territory to look for clues about Tinghai Pavilion.
After many years of investigation, she has made the latest progress on the whereabouts of True Lord Chahai.
Tinghai Pavilion is suspected to be in the forbidden area of the Central Territory, with hidden space nodes that can lead to the boundaries of other states.
Tinghai Pavilion was once the overlord of the offshore sea and gave birth to the God-Transforming Heavenly King. Is there any inheritance and treasure on the other side of the space node?
However, the forbidden area in the Central Region is too large and full of unknown dangers, not limited to monsters.
Even if this news is confirmed, it is extremely difficult to find that space node.
True Lord Mingshui can only be roughly located in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, which is where True Lord Chahai last lost his trace decades ago.
"I don't know about the space nodes or teleportation arrays mentioned by fellow Taoist Mingshui. However, twenty years ago, there were foreign monks who passed by nearby. They were noticed by the demonic Stone Heart Dragon and hunted them down."
"Foreign monk? Tell me about that person."
True Lord Ming Shui was overjoyed, and his intuition told her that this was an important clue.
This is because the world and environment of each state in Tianyan Continent are different. If you arrive at another realm from a space rift or teleportation array and are not fully integrated into the local area, you will have an exotic aura about you.
Afterwards, after listening to the miserable blue ghost's description, True Lord Mingshui frowned and fell into deep thought for a brief moment.
She always felt that the person described by Gui Jun's split soul seemed familiar.
"The illusionary sky formation that hunted the demonic dragon before!"
Soon, Zhenjun Mingshui thought of the source of the familiarity.
Previously, due to the obstruction of the space illusion array, her spiritual consciousness detection was relatively vague, but one of the human monks displayed partial space magical powers and magic weapon fluctuations, which were very rare in the Great Abyss.
…
Half a month later.
Lu Changan and Jing Wufeng parted ways outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Lu Changan maintained the image of an old man in a bamboo hat from beginning to end. Jing Wufeng was petrified in the battle and his disguise was broken.
Before leaving, the two made an agreement.
Lu Changan got a benefit this time and promised to help Jing Wufeng go to the forbidden area in the Central Territory within a period of time and seal the dangerous place where the evil energy leaked.
The premise is that one of Lu Changan and Earth Rock Rat is promoted to Nascent Soul or transformed.
Lu Changan is now 341 years old, and it will take several decades to reach the peak of Jindan. He is estimated to be around 380 years old, and he will definitely not be able to reach the peak of Jindan.
In this way, if he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, he will have time to fully prepare.
Fly thousands of miles.
Lu Changan suddenly thought of something and looked back in the direction of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley.
The appearance of True Lord Ming Shui aroused his alertness.
Back then, this woman was the most active in hunting down True Lord Chahai and targeting the remnants of Tinghai Pavilion.
It is said that Zhenjun Mingshui's original qualifications were not top-notch.
At least half of his magical powers come from the exploration of the remnants of Tinghai Pavilion and related opportunities.
It is no exaggeration to say that this woman is half a descendant of Tinghai Pavilion.
Many of the magic weapons she possesses, the water-based escape techniques she is good at, and the secret arts and supernatural powers come from Tinghai Pavilion and are integrated with the sect's methods.
Lu Changan was worried that this woman would dig deeper and find clues related to the Tinghai Pavilion space node.
Thinking of this, Lu Changan made some calculations, and although the hexagram obtained was not clear, it had a certain tendency.
The hexagrams prove that this possibility is not low.
"There is no need to worry about this hidden danger for the time being. As long as the Earth Rock Rat and I can transform one after another and successfully conceive babies, even in the prosperous abyss, we will be strong men standing on the top of the clouds, enough to intimidate any party."
Lu Changan knows very well that in the pursuit of opportunities and continuous promotion, it is difficult to avoid any hidden dangers of cause and effect.
As long as the strength reaches a new level, the hidden dangers of the past will disappear.
…
A few days later.
Lu Changan entered the sphere of influence of the "Wanfeng Sect" in the Central Region.
The Wanfeng Sect is close to the forbidden land of the Central Territory, with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage as its commander, and includes multiple Immortal Cultivation Kingdoms, two Yuan Ying Sects, numerous vassals of the Jiedan Sect, and countless Immortal Cultivation Families.
The Wanfeng Sect camp had conflicts with the Dayu Kingdom before, but they have calmed down in the past hundred years.
The overall strength of Dayu Kingdom is stronger than that of Wanfeng Sect, but Dayu is not as geographically comfortable as the former, and there are not many threats.
There are other powerful forces surrounding the Daewoo Kingdom.
Lu Changan did not return to Dayu Kingdom immediately, but settled in the "Worry-free City" within the Wanfeng Sect's sphere of influence.
When he came to Dayuan at the beginning of that year, Lu Changan spent more than three years in Wuyou City.
The blue-armored puppet was promoted to the fourth level, also in Wuyou City.
Lu Changan is familiar with the road and rents a third-level cave in Wuyou City.
The next few months.
Lu Changan set out to purify the Shixinlong material parts on hand.
The Stone Heart Dragon has been demonized and polluted. In addition to the Stone Dragon Heart, Essence Pill, dragon blood, bones, scales, etc., they all need to be purified, including quenching and purification.
Lu Changan's Evergreen Kung Fu, weapon refining skills, and Xuan Shui Turtle's water talent are a three-pronged approach to ensure the purification effect.
There are also such brilliant secret techniques in the memory of Zhenjun Chahai.
The evil spirit can be eliminated, but the earth evil and turbid energy contained deep inside cannot be eradicated.
Fortunately, the Earth Rock Rat's attributes are consistent, it has absorbed the innate turbid air, and the earth element's demonic power has mutated, containing the evil spirit of the earth.
After removing the evil spirit and contamination, it is then appropriately tempered and purified.
In this way, the parts and materials owned by Lu Changan will not have demonic characteristics, and will not be easily associated with the Stone Heart Dragon in the forbidden area of the Central Region.
Pseudodragon beasts are not uncommon in the Great Abyss. There are many dragons in the sea, including the fourth-order dragon king, which is a source of materials that high-level monks yearn for.
After purifying and tempering the materials, Lu Changan carefully considered the transformation of the Earth Rock Rat.
Even, calculate and analyze the success rate of its transformation.
"The Earth Rock Rat's half-step golden elixir, after absorbing the innate turbid energy, can be compared to the Earth's bloodline, and is like a human's Earth Spirit Genius."
"Stone Heart Dragon is a demon king with a heavenly bloodline. Its essence elixir, the Heart of the Stone Dragon, is an advanced treasure and transformed spiritual object, which is very suitable for the Earth Rock Rat."
"The [Thunder Transformation Pearl] traded from Yu Yuanjin is also suitable for physically strong creatures to withstand thunder."
"In addition, after Xuantian sprouted, the central area absorbed the five elements of soil from Xuantian's relics. Different from the past, it is probably beneficial as an auxiliary spiritual object, but the effect is unknown."
After Lu Changan sorted it out, he found that the conditions for the rock rat to transform were very good.
At least, the spiritual pets of beast-controlling sects such as the Valley of the Beast King will probably not be able to enjoy such good conditions.
Putting aside the influence of the special five elements of soil, Lu Changan speculated that there should be about a 50% success rate.
For Lu Changan, this probability is really not high, but for the creatures in the world who are attacking the transformed form or Nascent Soul, it is already very impressive.
Lu Changan thought for a long time and thought of two points for improvement.
First, using the Great Essence Pill as the main material, asking a fourth-level alchemy master to refine an advanced elixir of the earth evil type would be the most perfect.
However, Shi Xinlong's Great Essence Pill is of high quality and fits the Earth Rock Rat very well. Even if the pill is refined, there is no qualitative difference, it is just the icing on the cake.
Second, spiritual elixirs for the heart calamity type.
Heart calamity is the most difficult level to predict. It not only depends on the will and state of mind, but also depends on luck.
If you are very unlucky and encounter extremely powerful inner demons, even a monk with good intentions may fall over.
Lu Changan analyzed that the Earth Rock Rat had an ordinary origin, was self-reliant, and had a firm will. It had gone through more hardships than spirit beasts with a higher bloodline and higher grades, so it should have an advantage in this regard.
However, the heart calamity is strange and unpredictable, making it difficult to determine.
People with a strong will may have stronger obsessions at certain times.
It is definitely better to have spiritual elixirs for heart calamity than not to have them, and have a little more room for error.
After weighing for a long time, Lu Changan decided to give up the first point and choose to strengthen the second point.
To refine advanced elixirs of the earth evil type, you need to hire a fourth-level alchemist and collect other materials, so there are more variables.
If you make a mistake and fail to refine the elixir, you will be extremely happy and sad.
As for the second point, Lu Changan happened to have clear clues about the spiritual elixir of the Heart Tribulation.
The "True Lord Red Snake" of Dashan Mountain once displayed the fourth-level [Xuanxin Beast Pill] at the Yuantian City Nascent Soul Trade Fair.
This elixir can be used as a spiritual object for calamity when monsters transform, and it has high adaptability.
"If we can get the [Xuanxin Beast Pill], then everything will be ready and there will be no oversights."
Lu Changan had no intention of taking this elixir by force.
In the world of immortality, most problems cannot be solved through fighting and killing.
He was ready to make a peaceful deal with True Lord Red Snake.
At the Nascent Soul Trade Fair, Lu Changan had some understanding of the demands put forward by True Lord Red Snake.
Some of the resources he has at his disposal may give him a chance to impress True Lord Red Snake and complete the deal.
Moreover, Dashan and Yunxia Sect are in the same country of Dayu, so they know everything about them, which makes it easier for Lu Changan to plan.
If this matter fails, Lu Changan will not force it.
At worst, you have to settle for the next best thing.
Through the relationship with the Yunxia Sect, it is not difficult to obtain heart-tribulation spiritual objects of mid-to-lower quality, or third-level high-quality heart-protecting elixirs.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan returned to Dayu Kingdom and approached the territory of Yunxia Sect.
At this time, he noticed that the Yunxia Sect's mountain gate was thousands of miles away, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gathering restlessly.
"Nascent Soul Tribulation? Could it be Master Yunqing..."
Lu Changan's head moved, he slowed down and stopped to watch from a distance.
boom!
In the sky above Yunxia Sect's fourth-level spiritual veins, dark clouds were rolling, calamity clouds were gathering, and blue sky thunder streaked across the sky.
The awe-inspiring majesty made many monks and countless creatures around him feel depressed and restless, trembling with fear.
"Tianleiguan? Master Yunqing has successfully broken the pill into an infant."
When Lu Changan approached the mountain gate, he found that the entire Yunxia Sect was surrounded by colorful light clouds, and the fourth-level sect-protecting formation was opened, cutting off the outside world.
When monks from a sect have a baby, this kind of precaution is considered normal.
The monks guarding the mountain of Yunxia Sect discovered Lu Changan had returned and immediately reported it to their superiors.
Not long after.
Sect Master Hu, who had white hair and beard and a haggard face, flew to the mountain gate and communicated with Lu Changan across the fourth-order formation.
"Elder Xiang, the timing of your return is unlucky. Master Yunqing is at the critical moment of conceiving a baby."
Sect Master Hu looked ashamed and said with a bitter smile:
"The Supreme Elder has spoken: Before the end of the Jie Ying Tribulation, in order to prevent interference from hostile sects, the entrance and exit will be blocked."
"No problem. After the baby is born, Xiang will enter the mountain gate again."
Lu Changan smiled and expressed his cooperation.
The Supreme Elder who spoke did not say who he was, but it was probably Zhenjun Yunlan.
Such behavior shows distrust and lack of due respect for Lu Changan, an elder from outside.
Of course, it is very important to form a baby to survive the tribulation.
There is nothing wrong with sealing off the entire sect and not allowing any unexpected factors. It is so prudent.
Lu Changan was sitting cross-legged on a big rock outside the mountain gate.
He was speechless. He used to think of himself as the lucky star of his sect, but when there was a Nascent Soul going through the tribulation at the mountain gate, he was turned away.
Lu Changan originally wanted to repay the favor by planting the Xuantian Gourd Vine that sprouted on the spot as soon as he returned to the main peak cave.
Half an hour later.
Three levels of thunder tribulation, one stronger and the other stronger, streaked over the main peak of Yunlan one after another.
The thunder brewing above the calamity cloud slowly dissipated.
Due to the isolation of the formation, Lu Changan could not see the specific scene.
But he vaguely sensed the aura of the newly-born Nascent Soul. After being baptized by wind and thunder, the aura was weakened, but he resisted tenaciously.
"As expected of the great sect's immortal golden elixir, with abundant resources and spiritual materials, it successfully transformed the elixir into an infant and survived the thunder tribulation."
Lu Changan secretly approved, this is an advantage that cannot be envied.
If you can customize a new reincarnation in the future, your background cannot be too bad.
After the thunder ended, the rolling calamity clouds in the sky did not dissipate.
call!
The gray calamity cloud is faintly black, and the twisted vortex in its center is like a dark magic pupil, exuding an unsettling aura of disaster.
"The third level is the inner demon calamity."
Lu Changan's head was filled with fear. This was the most dangerous and unpredictable stage of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
For the Immortal Golden Pill, the failure rate of the Heart Demon Tribulation is the highest.
At the third level, Lu Changan waited outside the mountain gate for a day and a night.
"The inner demon calamity, the longer the delay, the smaller the hope."
Lu Changan looked at the sky in the distance, and the huge Yunxia Sect gate seemed to be shrouded in sad clouds.
Until a certain moment.
The huge black clouds in the sky roared and dispersed, returning to a clear blue sky.
Waited for another half hour.
No sound of celebrations was heard, and the disciples in the sect were very quiet.
The sect-protecting formation was finally opened.
Lu Changan remained silent, stepped into the mountain gate after a year, and returned to his Qingluan Peak cave.
