I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Ice Fairy of Feng Kingdom

 Four months later.

 The third-order formation of Da Ri Peak is still in operation.

No one knows that the people in Da Ri Peak Cave Mansion are empty, and the immortal Changqing and his spiritual pets have disappeared together.

 It was not until half a year later that Master Jiedan of Jinyun Valley finally realized: "Master Lu has run away again..."

Lu Changan, who lit up the fourth life, quietly left Jinyun Valley without informing anyone, including Zhang Tianfeng.

However, half a year ago, Lu Changan made a deal with Zhang Tianfeng.

 In fact, it is mainly about selling stolen goods.

 A few years ago, Lu Changan packed up a lot of stolen goods from the three people who killed Zhenjun Chahai, including the Wujianmen, mostly magic weapons, and sold them to Zhang Tianfeng.

Of course, Lu Changan made some adjustments to the appearance and characteristics of the magic weapon.

 Zhang Tianfeng's eyelids jumped when he saw the pile of stolen goods. It was estimated that at least two major alchemy cultivators and many true alchemy cultivators were buried in the sand.

 During the elixir formation stage, only late-stage overhauls can barely control high-grade magic weapons. The refining of the latter requires fourth-level materials.

 The price at which Lu Changan sold the stolen goods was lower than the market price. Zhang Tianfeng needed gold and iron materials and to expand the sect's war reserve. The two parties hit it off and completed the deal.

Lu Changan traded quasi-fourth-level materials from Zhang Tianfeng, including fourth-level non-gold and iron materials.

 These materials are useful for creating supernatural puppets and improving the quality of fourth-level puppets.

 A few months before leaving, the charm puppet was upgraded to the third level of high quality.

 Becomes the second third-level high-grade puppet made by Lu Changan himself.

 At the same time, the quality of the quasi-fourth-level blue-armored puppet has been slightly improved after adding materials and refining it.

 Except for trading.

Lu Changan entrusted Zhang Tianfeng to leave an opportunity for Zhao Tan'er.

 In addition to the tailor-made magic weapons and life-saving talismans, there is also a level-breaking elixir in the late stage of elixir formation.

 The level-breaking elixir in the later stage of elixir formation is a more precious strategic elixir than the crystal condensation elixir.

Lu Changan's alchemy skills were not enough to refine this elixir, so he got it from Zhenjun Chahai's trophies. Lord Chahai was originally intended to motivate and spur his subordinates.

Taking the level-breaking pill does not guarantee that you will be promoted to the later stage of overhaul, but it only increases the success rate.

Moreover, using this elixir to advance to the later stage of elixir formation will have a certain impact on the potential, which means that the stamina is insufficient and it will be more difficult to condense the Nascent Soul in the future.

Whether to take this elixir depends on Zhao Tan'er's decision. This woman has been cultivating to the peak of the middle stage of elixir formation for more than ten years.

 Before going to Feng State, Lu Changan cultivated the immortal world in Liang State and made secret visits to several places.

 One, the Zhou family who controls beasts.

 Zhou Qingxuan's death, Lu Changan was implicated and owed the Zhou family, so he decided to compensate him before leaving.

 The impact of the turmoil that year has subsided. During the war, the death of a fake Dan real person would not attract much attention.

 After lighting up the fourth life, Lu Changan's self-protection ability has greatly increased.

 He was convinced that the ambush in Beast King Valley had failed at a high cost, and he would no longer have any power to target him in the short term.

Except for my own grandfather, no one in the Beast King Valley would work so hard for the Peacock Saint. The selfishness and cruelty of the Demonic Dao sect is even worse than that of the sects on the Guardian Alliance side.

Even so, Lu Changan investigated in advance and cooperated with the divination to confirm that Zhou Tianchi, the head of the Zhou family, was not bribed by the Beast King Valley at the moment.

In this way, he let a third-level high-grade puppet clone play his own role, secretly visited the Zhou family of the beast master at night, and met with the clan leader Zhou Tianchi.

 “Tianchi, I have met Uncle Lu.”

 At the clan leader's cave, Zhou Tianchi found a man in white mysteriously appearing in front of the bed, and was greatly frightened.

After Zhou Qingxuan disappeared and died, Zhou Tianchi tried to contact Lu Changan, but was not received by the latter.

Zhou Tianchi was disappointed with this, thinking that it was just a matter of people leaving the tea, and Changqing Zhenren didn't want to talk to the Zhou family who controlled the beasts.

“Qingxuan died in the Wujianmen assassination, and Lu has a certain responsibility for this. This time, I am here to compensate the Zhou family.”

Lu Changan did not elaborate on the reason and covered up the matter of Tinghai Pavilion.

 He got straight to the point and gave Zhou Tianchi two choices.

 First of all, if you fulfill your promise now, you can get a third-level puppet and a third-level high-quality talisman.

 Second, the favor is reserved for the future and given to the descendants of the beast-controlling Zhou family.

Zhou Tianchi chose the former without hesitation and fulfilled his promise immediately.

Nowadays, the magic war is fierce, that is, combat power is more important.

Third-level puppets and third-level high-grade talismans can greatly enhance their personal strength.

 “From now on, the real person and the Zhou family who control the beasts owe each other nothing.”

 Lu Changan left a storage bag and left.

Zhou Tianchi opened the storage bag, scanned it with his consciousness, and was overjoyed.

 With this opportunity, his true strength will stand out among the alchemy monks.

“Sister-in-law Qingxuan doesn't have much life left, so she used her last years to get this opportunity. For the Zhou family, this is a good deal..."

Zhou Tianchi murmured in his heart, with a hint of shame in his eyes, which was quickly diluted by excitement.

That evening.

 At the center of the Liang Kingdom, the Jinyang Sect where the fourth level spiritual veins are located.

 An inner disciple in the foundation building stage returns to the mountain gate.

The inner disciple did not return to his residence and came to a cliff near the Jinyang Sect's Sutra Collection Pavilion.

On a huge rock, a lazy woman was lying half-lying, basking in the sun.

　　The simple maid's dress cannot hide her beauty, which is as noble and gorgeous as a peacock.

This woman has bare and white lotus feet, slender calves above the crystal ankles, and wears a Nascent Soul-level forbidden magic ring.

When it moves its calves or walks, the chain on the lock ring collides, and a clear "ding-ding" sound will be heard.

A few dozen feet apart, the inner disciples looked at the exotic and beautiful woman with great interest.

 Such a situation is not uncommon in Jinyang Sect, and the Peacock Saint is used to it.

It's just that Brother Pulu cannot approach or talk to the Peacock Saint, and there are masters from the Jinyang Sect secretly monitoring her.

 In the past few years, incredible and interesting things have happened related to the Peacock Saint.

There once was a disciple of the Jinyang Sect who habitually came over to look at the Peacock Saint every day and was not even qualified to talk to her.

However, after looking at her for a long time, the Jinyang Sect disciple couldn't help but fall in love with the Peacock Saint.

One night, the disciple expressed his love through the air, but was captured by the Jinyang Sect Law Enforcement Hall and expelled from the school.

The Peacock Saint's magic power was banned, and she never cast any spells from beginning to end. The masters of the Jinyang Sect who were secretly monitoring her could testify.

 Just her daily appearance and a smile can have such an effect, which shows the charm of the Peacock Saint.

At this moment, the Peacock Saint, who was half lying on the rock, suddenly felt a strange feeling.

She raised her eyelids and looked at the inner disciples of Jinyang Sect in the distance with her quiet and calm eyes.

The disciple looked ordinary and looked at the Peacock Saint with a smile.

The Peacock Saint was confused and immediately waved her hand:

“Junior brother over there, come over and have a chat with my sister?”

"The saint invited me, and I was flattered. However, I have not received the sect's permission, so I am not qualified to approach..." The inner disciples were confused.

 “I told you to come here and obey me.”

With her charming eyes, the Peacock Saint communicated with the master of Jinyang Sect who was secretly protecting her, and got the answer.

 Such a situation happened more than once. The Peacock Saint is restricted in her freedom and will look for someone to chat with when she is bored.

 “It is better to obey orders than to be respectful.”

The inner disciple smiled helplessly, walked to the rock, and sat upright under the legs of the Peacock Saint.

While chatting, the inner disciple looked calm and did not avoid the beautiful eyes of the Peacock Saint.

Having close contact and collecting information media, the inner disciples were secretly surprised:

"The Jinyang Sect is really so afraid of the Beast King Valley and the True Lord Wanhe. The Peacock Saint has been a hostage for more than a month, but she is still in perfect condition?"

 “May I ask the saint, do you miss your home in the Valley of the Beast King?”

 The inner disciple asked curiously.

The Peacock Saint was startled and said calmly: "When the Beast King Valley captures the Feng and Liang Kingdoms, I will naturally be able to return to the Beast King Valley unscathed."

 She looked at the inner disciple coldly: "Who are you?"

 “I am just an admirer of the saint.”

 The inner disciple looked frivolous when he said this.

 Suddenly stretched out **** and touched the slender jade-like lotus feet of the Peacock Saint, touching the gracefully curved center of the feet.

The Peacock Saint's feet were itchy, and she couldn't help being frightened and extremely embarrassed.

 “Be bold!”

There was a thunderous shout, and as soon as the inner disciple's fingers touched the soles of the saint's feet, his consciousness darkened and he fainted.

“The disciples of our sect are ignorant and frightened the saint.”

Several figures arrived in an instant, took down the injured inner disciples, and tortured them.

After verification, there is no problem with the identity of the inner disciple. When he was talking to the saint, he was carefully scanned by the master who was secretly monitoring him.

At this moment, after in-depth investigation, it was found that there were some traces in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and it was controlled by a strange forbidden secret technique.

 In fact, it has happened before that the top brass of the Beast King Valley came into contact with the Saint in this way.

 However, most of them are relatively obscure. This is the first time that such a frivolous behavior has been openly indecent to a saint.

 “Could it be that he...”

The peacock saint's face still has the blush on her face, and her expression is uncertain.

Just now, when the inner disciple touched the center of her foot, she sensed a faint spiritual power and entered her body to explore.

 In the woods thousands of miles away from Jin Yangzong.

 Lu Changan slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "This woman's magic power has indeed regressed. In addition, the death of her natal beast, the foundation of her body has been damaged. In this life, there is no hope for the realm of the Nascent Soul."

 It turned out that the Jinyang Sect disciple just now was stored by him with a secret technique and temporarily controlled his body.

Jinyang Sect, as the Nascent Soul sect with the longest inheritance in the surrounding area, the sect is heavily guarded and the fourth level formation is a great threat.

Lu Changan's puppet clone wants to sneak in, but it may be sensed and there is a risk of death.

Through the "indecent" contact just now, Lu Changan found out the depth and reality of the Peacock Saint.

Even if this woman keeps a low profile, as long as she cannot be promoted to Nascent Soul, the threat to Lu Changan's future will be very limited.

It's not like Lu Changan never thought of killing the Peacock Saint.

 However, the Jinyang Sect is heavily guarded, and the fourth-level formation under the auspices of Jiedan Daxiu is full of threats.

If he takes action forcefully, Lu Changan will definitely pay the price, or even reveal his identity and be chased back by the True Lord Liuyang.

 Once his identity is revealed and he is wanted by the Wei Dao League, it will be troublesome to go to Feng Country to get the Taiyin Jade Liquid.      Don't lose the big for the small.

 Compared to Yuan Ying's opportunity, the hidden dangers in the late stage of the Golden Elixir are not worth mentioning.

At the same time, Lu Changan came to the vicinity of Jinyang Sect and inquired about the opportunity of Yuanying.

 Unfortunately, the Jinyang Sect is heavily guarded, and matters involving Yuanying's chance are basically controlled by Liuyang Zhenjun himself.

Facing the Nascent Soul Master who defeated Master Lihuo in his prime, Lu Changan did not have the courage to pull out his teeth.

 Unless you encounter a better opportunity.

 For example, True Lord Liuyang was seriously injured, Jinyang Sect was in danger of breaking down, and everyone pushed down the wall.

 Leaving the area around Jinyangzong, Lu Changan flew to the southeastern border of Liang Kingdom, passing by Wuye Town.

 This is the last stop before leaving Liang State.

Lu Changan sent a puppet clone to meet with Jiang Yechen.

Jiang Yechen carried the thunder for himself, playing a key delaying role.

Lu Changan couldn't remain indifferent, at least he wanted to express his condolences.

 At the same time, he wanted to pay homage to Shi Xianzi.

 At the top of Wuye Town, inside the cave.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, have you been promoted to a major cultivation of alchemy?”

Jiang Yechen was shocked. He sensed that Lu Changan in white in front of him had obscure magic power and his body was shrouded in the consciousness of the late stage of pill formation.

To prevent Jiang Yechen, the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, from seeing the reality of the puppet, Lu Changan could only isolate it with the power of his spiritual consciousness.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, please don't make any noise. It's only in the late stage of pill formation, so it's not worth mentioning."

Lu Changan smiled slightly and said humbly.

The figure in white clothes standing with his hands behind his hands, in Jiang Yechen's field of vision, seemed to be standing on the top of an unreachable cloud, overlooking the Liang Kingdom's casual cultivation world, breaking the record of three thousand years!

Within three thousand years, Lu Changan was the only one who started out as a casual cultivator and became a major alchemist cultivator.

At this moment, Jiang Yechen was certain that when the mysterious alchemy master came to kill him, the person he was really looking for was probably Lu Changan.

 There have been similar speculations in the past, but they are not completely certain.

 “Let Daoyou Jiang suffer and take care of Man Rong in his twilight years in the past few years.”

Looking at Jiang Yechen with a bitter look on his face, Lu Changan comforted him and reached out to pat his shoulder.

 In the last ten or twenty years of Shi Manrong's life, just like Zhou Qingxuan at that time, his appearance had withered, and he was even more aged.

Jiang Yechen was extremely sincere in being able to accompany him until the end.

Lu Changan also admired him somewhat, so he did not come over before Shi Manrong died.

Subsequently, Lu Changan followed Jiang Yechen and paid homage to Shi Manrong's tomb in the back garden of the cave.

 Half an hour later.

Lu Changan left Wuye Town's sphere of influence under cover of late at night.

 In his hand, there was an extra jade slip, which recorded a quasi-fourth-level formation inheritance.

 This formation inheritance was originally obtained from the ruins and was compiled after Shi Manrong participated in the research.

 According to Jiang Yechen, this was Shi Manrong's instructions before his death. If Lu Changan comes over, hand it over to him.

Lu Changan understood that this was Shi Manrong's feedback for the third-level longevity pill he had given him before.

That third-level life-extending pill fulfilled all the regrets Shi Manrong had during his lifetime. He was accompanied by Taoist companions and heirs... instead of being alone all his life.

 For him, this inheritance is of little significance. In the memory of Zhenjun Chahai, there is a complete fourth-level inheritance, which is even more advanced.

Before leaving, Lu Changan made a promise to make up for Jiang Yechen's years of hard work and hardship.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yechen is quite proud and does not need Lu Changan's favor.

If Lu Changan is serious, he will give this promise to Shi Xianzi's adopted son, Shi Xiaochuan.

 Shi Xiaochuan has a high-grade spiritual root and is very talented in formations.

 Shi Manrong raised him as his biological son during his lifetime. Jiang Yechen also put in spiritual education.

Lu Changan agreed and recorded this promise on Shi Xiaochuan's head.

  Three months later.

In the Immortal Realm of Feng Kingdom, close to the back of the demonic battlefield, there is an important fairy city named "Bingyue Castle".

The Ice Moon Castle is an important stronghold built by the Proud Moon Palace in its sphere of influence in order to deal with the invasion of demons. It was built with the assistance of high-level ice spells.

Coupled with the special ice-type formation, the defensive capabilities of Ice Moon Castle are second only to the fourth-level formation of the Nascent Soul Sect.

Although it is called a castle, the scale of Ice Moon Castle exceeds that of most fairy cities.

 Ice Moon Castle is not on the front line of the battlefield, but it is not far away. It plays the role of transferring supplies and recuperating in the rear.

This place has been invaded and harassed by small groups of demonic scouts from time to time, and was even attacked once by the demonic Nascent Soul from the Beast King Valley.

Hence, there is always the True Monarch Nascent Soul sitting in Ice Moon Castle. He can go to the front line to support when he enters, and he can go back to defend the Fengguo mainland when he retreats.

On this day, a group of roving foundation-building monks who changed defenses returned to Ice Moon Castle.

　　Whoosh!

Inside the ice castle, a three-color petal lotus platform magic weapon flew out, on which stood a female elixir-forming cultivator in a white-white dress with a temperament as icy as snow.

He looks to be about twenty years old, with a slender willow waist, a snow-white face that is tranquil and picturesque, and a faint mist of sadness on his eyebrows, like a lonely fairy in an ice palace.

 “Xuan Bing Fairy from Aoyue Palace!”

Of the group of traveling monks returning to the city, several male cultivators could not hide their astonishment, watching the beautiful ice figure with admiring eyes.

As an important town close to the demonic battlefield, it is unusual for monks to come in and out of the Danjie Temple, and this place belongs to the sphere of influence of Proud Moon Palace.

"Xuanbing Fairy" Xia Wenyue, with her eyebrows lightly condensed, controlled the magic weapon of the lotus platform and flew hundreds of miles out of the Ice Moon Castle.

"Wen Yue, you have just recovered from your injury and returned to Aoyue Palace alone. Why?"

 Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air behind him, accompanied by mana fluctuations at the peak of the mid-stage pill formation.

I saw a glimmer of ice, carrying a beautiful woman in a palace dress who was about twenty or thirty years old. There was cinnabar between her eyebrows, her manners were elegant, dignified and generous.

“Senior Sister Nalan, actually I am not going back to Aoyue Palace, but to find 'Situ Lan'. Fellow Daoist Situ is recovering from his injuries at the rear, and Wen Yue is a little concerned.”

Xia Wenyue responded calmly.

"Situ Lan? Wen Yueqi is really attracted to him? For this person, he would not hesitate to offend the master and refuse her matchmaking?"

Senior Sister Nalan looked surprised and in disbelief. For a hundred years, Junior Sister, whose heart had been as ice-like as ice, had a day when the iceberg melted and her heart was moved.

“Well, Situ Lan has been pursuing me for many years. He was attacked by demon elites during a mission. In order to protect me, he risked his life and almost died and was seriously injured..."

Xia Wenyue nodded, and when he mentioned the name of 'Situ Lan', a ripple of warmth appeared in his eyes like a cold pool in late autumn.

“Situ Lan, both are Xiantian Taoists, direct disciples of Wuya Palace and Chu Alliance Leader. The two of you are indeed a perfect match, senior sister has no reason to stop you.”

“However, Senior Sister is entrusted by Master and is not worried about Junior Sister being left alone. We plan to return together so that we can take care of each other.”

Senior Sister Nalan smiled faintly and stepped over.

"snort!"

Xia Wen's moon surface was as cold as frost, and the lotus platform under his feet was radiant. His speed exceeded the normal middle stage of pill formation, and he tried to get rid of Senior Sister Nalan with all his strength.

 However, Senior Sister Nalan has profound cultivation, good escape skills, and with the help of talismans, she has been keeping an eye on Xia Wenyue.

 Fly thousands of miles.

Xia Wenyue came to a beautiful mountain, river and water area.

 Suddenly, a familiar beach and inlet came into view.

Xia Wenyue stopped in mid-air with a look of nostalgia.

The scene of the beach and inlet is the same as Qingshawan, the Xia clan's place in my memory.

 “Junior sister?”

 Senior Sister Nalan chased after Xia Wenyue, and her eyes suddenly blurred.

Xia Wenyue disappeared out of thin air.

The beautiful beach and inlet in front of us suddenly turned into an endless hot desert area.

 “Illusion!”

Senior Sister Nalan's expression changed. She released her spiritual consciousness and used many methods, but she could not escape from the boundless desert in front of her.

“No! Junior sister is not looking for Situ Lan!”

 Senior Sister Nalan quickly realized that Xia Wenyue's outing this time was unusual.

Xia Wenyue instinctively flew to the "Autumn Wind Island" where "Qingshawan" is located in a familiar environment.

 Once, she was a maid and apprentice, recuperating and studying on Qiufeng Island for many years.

This is the place where she started to change her life and destiny.

"You came."

A handsome, handsome, quiet and indifferent man in white appeared on the island, overlapping with the figure that was about to disappear in the memory, almost unchanged.

“Mr. Lu, after more than a hundred years, Wen Yue thought you would never come back.”

Xia Wenyue's cold autumn eyes looked directly at the man in white not far away.

Lu Changan looked at Fairy Xuanbing, who was alone in the autumn wind, her skirt swaying in the white house on the moon, and noticed the coldness in her eyes.

 In her eyes, the reverence and girlish implicit affection in her early years no longer existed.

 Emotions have completely faded away!

 There is even an indescribable sense of alienation between them.

Xia Wenyue's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes and is different from the past.

 Lu Changan had already expected this.

 Under the erosion of more than a hundred years, the deep friendship and love will disappear.

 This is human nature and is consistent with most real situations.

 Very few examples are written into romance novels and adult stories.

Even if Lu Changan fell in love with the girl and invested a lot of effort and resources, more than a hundred years later, there is still no guarantee that human nature will change.

What's more, nothing happened between the two of them. It was just a nominal relationship between a teacher and a registered apprentice.

"Of course Lu will not forget the agreement we made back then. Fairy Xia...won't forget it, right?"

Lu Changan said with a smile, and waved naturally for Xia Wenyue to take a seat.

 When he first sown the seeds, he didn't invest much and had no intention of relying on emotions to restrain the matter.

  “Naturally remember.”

Hearing the word "promise", Xia Wenyue's expression changed slightly, she bit her red lips, stepped on the lotus platform, and sat cross-legged opposite her unnaturally.
