I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 301

Chapter 301: The Enemy's Shadow

 Two months later, Yun Ling successfully established the foundation.

After consolidating her realm, Yun Ling immediately came to Shanshui Manor to express her gratitude, and her brother Yun Hao also accompanied her.

“Mr. Xu, this is Ling'er's thanks and Blastoise's gift.”

Yun Ling is wearing a pink and white dress, her eyebrows are smiling, and her lips are rosy.

 She took out two things and presented them.

 The first one is a finely crafted jade sculpture of a man in green shirt, with a lifelike appearance.

Lu Changan took a closer look and found that the image and temperament of the sculpture were more elegant and handsome than the simulation of himself in the previous life, as if he had an extra layer of "beauty".

Jade carvings are made from fine second-grade jade.

For Yun Ling, who had just built the foundation, it cost a lot of money, and it was carefully carved by hand and immersed in her heart.

 Second, it is a large gift box, which contains exquisite animal food, with a preference for turtles, which is valuable in the desert.

Xuan Shui Turtle got the exquisite animal food, stretched out his head and rubbed Yun Ling's embroidered shoes and calves, and then ate happily, with a big appetite.

 For more than a hundred years, Lu Changan had rarely seen a black water turtle with such a good appetite and mood.

 “It costs you money.”

Lu Changan smiled slightly and invited the Yun brothers and sisters to take their seats.

Fifteen years ago, when he first came to the Heyuan Oasis, the Yun brothers and sisters were only at the ninth and eighth levels of Qi refining.

Now, both brother and sister are already foundation-building monks, and can be called ancestor-level figures in some small families.

Yunhao, as a top-grade spiritual root, is the heir that Master Lihuo has cultivated in Feng Yuan Kingdom. He has great hope for true elixirs in the future.

Yu Ling's qualifications are not bad, and Lan Xinhui's quality is good. Lu Changan's guidance made her cultivation and talisman skills go more smoothly in the early stages of practice.

Coupled with Grandma Yun's special care, Yun Ling's cultivation progress is not much slower than that of high-grade spiritual roots.

Grandma Yun's training method focuses on experience, allowing the brother and sister to go through the hardships at the bottom and become self-reliant since childhood.

“After the foundation building period, my grandma asked us to practice near the oasis, hunt sand beasts, and go shopping in the surrounding small oases. My brother had encountered sand bandits before and was injured in a fight. Fortunately, he had the life-saving escape talisman given by his grandma..."

Yun Ling's eyes were clear and her expression was high. She was looking forward to the future experience, but also a little nervous.

Yunhao looked at his sister who was looking forward to Shenghui, and secretly cursed:

 Normally at home, I don't see you speaking so freely and with a bright face.

Lu Changan spoke in a gentle tone and taught the two brothers and sisters the experience of walking in the world of cultivating immortals.

The Yun brothers and sisters listened very carefully and respected Lu Changan.

 In the past few years, Lu Changan has gradually revealed his attainments as a third-level alchemist. Looking at the desolate and barren Feng Yuan Kingdom, his status is already lofty.

 Secondly, Granny Yun vaguely revealed to the two brothers and sisters that Mr. Xu might be a low-key, reclusive true elixir master.

 Under Lu Changan's guidance, Yun Ling did achieve good results.

As the elder brother, Yun Hao was somewhat moved. It's just that he is thin-skinned and a little embarrassed in front of Master Jiedan.

 At the same time, Yunhao saw that Xu Zhenren was more in tune with his sister and took extra care of the latter.

 At first, both Yunhao and Grandma thought Mr. Xu was interested in a pretty girl. But for so many years, Mr. Xu has behaved in a measured and upright manner. Except for a little care, he has never done anything beyond his words or deeds.

 On the contrary, she is the younger sister, who has a faint tendency to be secretly attracted to her.

In his spare time, Lu Changan would not mind giving some advice to the Yun brothers and sisters. Anyway, the two of them have some connection with him.

If in the future, the brother and sister both become alchemy monks, looking back on the present, it will be a good story.

 More than half a year later, Lu Changan turned 229 years old.

 After practicing silently for so many years, he estimated that he would still have seven or eight years to reach the peak of the early stage of alchemy formation.

 Have cultivated for a period of time to reach the peak of the early stage of elixir formation, which is considered average among the true elixir monks.

 The progress of cultivation in this way is faster than that of the Qi refining and foundation building stages.

Lu Changan speculated that it should be the effect of the Immortal Golden Elixir.

 After all, his wood spirit root is only of low quality, and the Evergreen Gong absorbs the energy of the cycle of time, so there are constraints on his daily practice.

 Normal conditions should be below average.

 The Immortal Golden Elixir has higher quality mana, increases potential, and makes the daily practice of Evergreen Gong higher quality.

On this day, Shanshui Manor, where Lu Changan settled, welcomed a visitor from afar for the first time.

After playing with the Xuan Shui Turtle, Yun Ling walked out of the manor and suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air.

 A true elixir-level rosy cloud light descended from the sky and landed in front of Shanshui Manor.

Yun Ling raised her head and her beautiful eyes were slightly blank.

That was a female cultivator in a white dress with picturesque eyebrows and elegant temperament. She looked like a lotus flower emerging from the mud, her hair was like clouds on her temples, and she had a fairy spirit.

The beauty and demeanor of the female cultivator Jiedan made Yun Ling feel intimidated, like a village belle seeing a more glamorous woman in the city.

“Little girl, this is Shanshui Manor, Mr. Xu's residence?”

A clear and beautiful female voice came.

Jiang Ruotong looked dignified and looked at the pure and tender young girl. Even in Xuanyin Pavilion where there are many beauties, she is still a good piece of rough jade.

“Senior, are you here to see Mr. Xu? This is his dojo.”

Yun Ling bowed, feeling quite surprised and inexplicably nervous.

Mr. Xu settled in the Heyuan Oasis as a down-and-out alchemist. He had always been alone and thought he had no confidante.

At the oasis, Mr. Xu has not had any contact with other beautiful female nuns except himself for more than ten years.

At this moment, Shanshui Manor unexpectedly welcomed a beautiful and refined Jiedan Jurchen, which made people feel ashamed.

 “It's good that you're not looking in the wrong place.”

Jiang Ruotong smiled slightly, clasped his onion fingers, and flicked them in the air. The ethereal and quiet sonic melody spread to the manor.

That beautiful melody made Yun Ling startled, and she couldn't help but had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:

“Senior, are you the Master Jiedan of Xuanyin Pavilion?”

“That's right, little girl, what is your relationship with Mr. Xu?”

Jiang Ruotong nodded and asked curiously.

Back then, when she encountered bandits in the Feisha Wasteland, Lu Changan's eloquent words saved her life.

Mr. Xu's elegant conversation and profound knowledge left a good impression on her.

“Junior Yun Ling is Mr. Xu's maid in the dojo.”

Yunling hesitated, not knowing how to accurately describe his relationship with Mr. Xu.

  After all, she and Mr. Xu are not related, and their ages are one or two hundred years apart.

　　Although Mr. Xu gave her guidance, he did not accept a disciple. Yun Ling often helped with chores and errands, and by chance, she revealed the identity of the maid.

 “The presence of Fairy Jiang in person made Xu frightened and made him shine.”

At this time, Lu Changan, who heard the sonic melody, came out of the manor to welcome him.

 After many years, the two met again and greeted each other.

Jiang Ruotong smiled brightly: "Mr. Xu is too polite, let alone his identity as a third-level alchemist. When the master of the pavilion heard about the kindness he gave me, he was very grateful to him."

“If he hadn't been busy recently, the master would have planned to visit Mr. Heyuan Oasis in person.”

The current helmsman of Xuanyin Pavilion is the former most beautiful woman in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, Niyue Zhenren.

In his early years, when Lu Changan was building the foundation, he had a startling glimpse in front of the Qingming Secret Realm and did not dare to look directly at it.

At that time, Lu Changan was not qualified to meet and talk with Fairy Niyue.

Now, Fairy Niyue has become the master of the ruined Xuanyin Pavilion, with a higher status.

Jiang Ruotong just said that the master of the pavilion was going to pay a personal visit, which was mostly polite.

 But it can be seen that Lu Changan, who is now a third-level alchemy master, has come into the sight of Master Niyue, attracting his attention and wanting to recruit him.

the other side.

Yun Ling watched Mr. Xu and Fairy Jiang enter the manor talking and laughing, feeling inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.

Perhaps, only a female alchemy cultivator like Jiang Xianzi can be a good match for the elegant and knowledgeable Mr. Xu.

Yun Ling gritted her teeth and followed him into the manor, acting as a maid, serving tea and water.

Lu Changan glanced at her, half-smiling but not smiling.

With Jiang Ruotong's experience and vision, he could see that Yun Ling's maid was unprofessional and she might have some hidden agenda.

“Mr. Xu, after more than ten years of separation and no news from you, we finally found your whereabouts.”

 Speaking of this, Jiang Ruotong's tone was slightly resentful.

At that time, Lu Changan practiced cultivation in Scorpio Desert City for two years, but Jiang Ruotong and his daughters did not stay.

Before saying goodbye, Jiang Ruotong left his contact information for Lu Changan, but the latter did not take the initiative to contact him.

Xuanyin Pavilion is stationed in another fairy city in the "Waier Zongmeng", which is far away.

 Fortunately, the Heyuan oasis where Lu Changan is located can be considered a large oasis in the desert. Xuanyin Pavilion has learned about the whereabouts of "Mr. Xu" in recent years.

 After confirming his identity, Jiang Ruotong came to visit in person as the elder of Zhendan.

 “To cause trouble for Fairy Jiang, Xu Moujie, a poor and fake person, did not dare to climb Xuanyin Pavilion, so he found a pure oasis to settle down.”

 Lu Changan expressed his apology.

Jiang Xianzi heard the implication.

This mysterious Mr. Xu likes to practice quietly and does not want to cause trouble with the outside world.

Xuanyin Pavilion has many beautiful female cultivators who are proficient in music, attracting bees and butterflies.

If Lu Changan takes the initiative and involves too much, he may cause trouble for himself.

“I'm here on behalf of the Pavilion Master this time, and I want to entrust you with refining two precious elixirs. Mr. Xu won't refuse.”

Jiang Xianzi smiled brightly and explained her intention.

“No problem, what kind of elixir does Fairy Jiang want to refine?”

Lu Changan agreed immediately.

Jiang Xianzi glanced at Yun Ling and then communicated through a message.

Yun Ling stepped back knowingly.

“Yuehua Pill? Crystal Condensation Pill?”

“Can Fairy Jiang safely hand over such an important elixir to Xu?”

 Lu Changan's face looked strange, slightly surprised. Needless to say, Crystal Condensation Pill, even the Nascent Soul forces need strategic resources to advance to the Dan Formation Stage, the more the better.

Yuehua Dan, a second-grade high-grade unpopular elixir, can enhance the bones and increase the beauty.

 The effect is better when taken by female nuns.

 Because it is relatively unpopular, it is difficult to refine, and the success rate of second-level alchemists is low.

 “I believe in Mr. Xu's character.”

Xianzi Jiang's smiling voice.

 Her personal judgment and intuition are only one aspect.

 At that time, Lu Changan left his contact information, but Lu Changan never took the initiative to contact him. This shows that he has no bad intentions towards Xuanyin Pavilion, at least he is not hostile.

 In addition, Mr. Xu keeps a low profile and does not cause trouble in Heyuan Oasis, leaving a good reputation and credibility.

“The requirements for refining those two elixirs are not low, so Xu did his best.”

Lu Changan promised to come down and negotiate with Jiang Xianzi about the remuneration.

Lu Changan has almost gathered the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill he has on hand.

This time I am refining the elixir, just in time to warm my hands.

“Can I stay at Shanshui Manor during the alchemy period?”

Jiang Ruotong suggested.

 “The right thing to do.”

 Lu Changan thought for a while and agreed.

  When refining such a valuable elixir, the employer needs supervision and the right to know.

Even though Master Hua, who was of poor character, was refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lu Changan was also present.

If Jiang Xianzi stayed at Fangshi Inn and went to and from the manor, she would be more eye-catching.

In the evening, Yun Ling left Shanshui Manor in a depressed mood.

“Xianzi Jiang is very familiar with Mr. Xu and stayed at the manor overnight…”

She bit her cherry lips, thinking of the two talented men and beautiful women, chatting and laughing happily, and felt uncomfortable.

 Though we have known each other for so many years, Mr. Xu has never left him alone overnight.

Of course, she originally lived in the oasis, very close to each other, so there was no need for this.

As a foundation-building female cultivator, although Yun Ling is not young, she has never experienced emotions between men and women, so she is a little worried about gains and losses.

 That night, Lu Changan arranged a guest room for Jiang Xianzi.

 It was a peaceful night.

As the youngest true alchemy female cultivator of Xuanyin Pavilion, Jiang Ruotong is a traditional classical-style woman who is well-educated, gentle and polite, and will not act like a monster.

 Some aspects of her personality are similar to those of the eldest daughter of the Mu family back then.

 The next day, Lu Changan started refining the elixir.

 In the alchemy room, Jiang Ruotong kept a certain distance and sat elegantly, observing the alchemy process.

Lu Changan set up a layer of atomized restrictions around his arms, like a mosaic, covering up the alchemy technique.

 Jiang Ruotong can clearly understand the general process of refining the elixir and the number of elixirs produced.

 Half a month passed by in a flash.

 The process of Lu Changan's alchemy can be regarded as spending time with Jiang Xianzi day and night.

To avoid affecting the alchemy, Jiang Xianzi kept quiet. During this period, she had almost no verbal communication with him, except for the occasional exchange of eyes.

Fortunately, he lived up to his mission. Lu Changan successfully refined two precious elixirs, reaching the normal level of a third-level low-grade alchemist.

 Alchemy masters in the world of immortality accept a commission for alchemy. If they screw up, they will not be paid unless otherwise agreed.

  If the refining is successful, the reward is usually between 10% and 20% of the total value of the elixir.

 It depends on the difficulty of refining the elixir and the reputation of the alchemist.

 “Mr. Xu, this is your reward.”

Jiang Ruotong's eyebrows were raised slightly and he was in a happy mood. He handed the heavy brocade bag containing the spiritual stones to Lu Changan.

 The two of them walked out of the alchemy room, and Jiang Ruotong wanted to go back to recover.

Before leaving, Jiang Ruotong's clear eyes turned and stared at the elegant middle-aged man in blue shirt who was close at hand.

"The master of the pavilion asked me to express my sincerity and recruit Mr. Xu to join Xuanyin Pavilion. If Mr. Xu agrees, the master of the pavilion will visit the oasis in person next time and treat me as a national scholar."

“Xu has no intention of joining the force for the time being. If he has the idea in the future, Xuanyin Pavilion will be given priority.”

Lu Changan refused again, but did not block the road.

 When he reaches the middle stage of alchemy formation, Shanshui Manor's small spiritual veins will become reluctant for him and Xuan Shuigui to practice.

 At that time, either join the cultivating forces, or find a way to improve the spiritual level of Shanshui Manor.

Xuanyin Pavilion may be an option in the future. At least we have dealt with each other and agreed with each other.

Once Lu Changan is promoted to the middle stage of Jindan, it will be difficult for him to meet his opponents under Nascent Soul.

Looking at Feng Yuan Kingdom, except for the Celestial Master who rarely came out of the Snow Mountain Holy Land, the rest could not threaten his life.

By then, Lu Changan will have basically no natural enemies in the Outer Sect Alliance, and there is no need to worry about the minor troubles that may arise from joining Xuanyin Pavilion.

“The master of the pavilion promises that if Mr. Xu is willing, he can allow a Jurchen from this pavilion to become a Taoist couple with Mr. Xu.”

Jiang Ruotong pursed her red lips, her clear eyes looking slightly erratic.

That beautiful and beautiful face has a natural rosy glow.

Lu Changan heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning. He couldn't help but feel surprised and thought about it.

 In order to recruit him, Xuanyin Pavilion spent a lot of money.

 For most alchemy monks, it is a dream to get a true alchemy female cultivator who is proficient in music and can help both cultivation and mental state.

 Seeing that Lu Changan did not respond.

Xianzi Jiang seemed to be shy, bowed her sleeves, said goodbye and flew away.

 Everything is for the revitalization of Xuanyin Pavilion.

 She doesn't mind sacrificing herself when facing a male cultivator who is kind and has a favorable impression.

 But if Liu Shui doesn't do it unintentionally, she will never force it. She also has her own nobility and pride.

one year later.

With the secret support of Lu Changan, the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce has developed smoothly, with smooth trade routes and abundant financial resources. As long as it cultivates true elixir monks, it is expected to become a giant in the oasis.

Through the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, Lu Changan gathered all the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill and the Life Extension Pill.

 Nowadays, Crystal Condensation Pill can be refined at any time.

 The Life Extension Pill, because the third-level longevity fruit obtained is still ten or twenty years away from growing, and it has not yet reached the time to refine it.

 Lu Changan is in a state of brewing.

 Be prepared to merge with the second life when the condition is good, refine the crystal condensation elixir, and strive for more points in the elixir.

 Late that night, Duanlao quietly returned to Shanshui Manor.

 Lao Duan masters the formations outside the manor, and as the owner, he can come back to check at any time.

 Lao Duan did not come alone, he also brought with him a young man in black who was at the peak of his foundation building.

“Master Xu, in the next month or so, the spiritual pulse dojo in the manor will be rented out to others for at least one month or two months to form elixirs.”

 Lao Duan did not introduce the identity of the young man, but communicated with Lu Changan via message.

 Concerning this point, both parties had an agreement when they signed the spiritual contract.

“Okay, I will go to Fangshi Inn in the next two months.”

Lu Changan has no objection. Although the spiritual energy in Fangshi is not that good, using spiritual stones and elixirs for a short transition will not have much impact.

"No need, Zhenren Xu stays in the manor, there is no hindrance. As long as there is no competition for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the moment of impact."

 He is an old man with a stout figure, wearing a wide robe, and his eyes are shrewd.

Lu Changan didn't care and continued to stay at the manor.

He didn't care much about the elixir formation of the young man in black. He was probably a descendant of a certain branch of the fourth generation Lihuo Master.

Having the vision of Nascent Soul, it is just an ordinary thing for a monk to attack the pill formation, and it is not worthy of special attention.

 Unless he forms a golden elixir, he can only be looked upon by the True Lord Yuanying.

 half a month later.

 The sky above Shanshui Manor shows a scene of pill formation.

Lu Changan is proficient in divination, so he naturally knows how to look at the qi. After a brief observation, he shook his head slightly.

 It is at the moment when the elixir formation is the strongest.

Lu Changan suddenly felt a sense of belonging and sensed a powerful and obscure spiritual consciousness. He penetrated the formation and observed the situation in the manor.

 “It turns out to be here.”

From the desert outside the Heyuan Oasis, a middle-aged man in iron clothes with thick eyebrows and a Chinese character face flew over, and his body was filled with an aura of iron-blooded killing.

Underground in the desert where the middle-aged man in iron clothes flew by, the rock rat's body was tense and he did not dare to breathe out for fear of being discovered by his people.

 Looking at the area where Jiedan weather is located.

The middle-aged man in Tieyi flew into the Jiugang Sky above the oasis, overlooking it from a high position, cautiously unfolding his consciousness, and exploring the landscape manor.

"Is it him? Fang Zhen! As an elder of Lihuo Palace, what's the purpose of chasing him here and being so sneaky?"

Lu Changan's fourth life was illuminated by the fusion of his mind and his Nascent Soul-level consciousness to detect the identity of the visitor.

This fusion state of the Nine Seal Monument can only enjoy passive divine detection and cannot be used in combat.

Must be lit up in a certain life before it can be used, and the lit soul shadow will be slowly consumed.

“After so many years of retreat from the Fire Palace, this person has achieved a major cultivation in the late stage of pill formation. His strength surpasses that of me in the previous life, and he is enough to run rampant in this oasis.”

Lu Changan frowned slightly. If this person had evil intentions, there would be no peace in this oasis, and he would not be able to practice stably in Shanshui Manor to the middle stage of elixir formation.

A cold light flashed across his eyes, and he made up his mind:

“The Heyuan Oasis does not allow such a powerful monk to exist and affect the latent cultivation of this real person.”
