I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 78

  Chapter 78 Victory in the first battle

   There is still half a month left.

  Lu Changan checked for leaks and made up for vacancies, and prepared all kinds of materials and life-saving means.

   A few days later.

  The neighbor of the puppeteer on the opposite side came back with a bamboo basket on his back, looking dusty.

   "Master Sang has also reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

   "Hey! Divine consciousness is much stronger than ordinary Qi refining late stage, is there any chance?"

  Lu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the muscular middle-aged man enter the other courtyard.

  Master Sang Puppet is usually taciturn and rarely communicates with others.

  However, neighbors for twenty years inevitably have some contacts.

  A few years ago, Master Sang Puppet bought a top-grade talisman from Lu Changan, and Guan Qiaozhi received it at that time.

  Puppet master's means of strength mainly rely on puppets. In the face of certain emergencies, talismans are more convenient and practical.

  The next day, Lu Changan took a small gift and went to the opposite courtyard.

  He knew that Master Sang Puppet had a withdrawn personality, so he didn't go around any circles, and directly explained his intentions.

   "What grade of puppet does Master Lu want to buy?"

  Master Sang's expression was slightly dull.

  The two stood in the yard to communicate, and they didn't know to invite Lu Changan into the house for a sip of tea.

  Lu Changan didn't take it seriously, and said:

   "Are there any second-order puppets for sale?"

  Master Sang's eyelids twitched, he looked at Lu Changan in astonishment, shook his head and said:

   "Sang can only create a first-order late stage puppet at most."

  Lu Changan had doubts about this.

  Looking at the details of Guan Qiaozhi's puppet dog and Master Sang's consciousness, it should not be limited to this.

   "Master Sang, don't be humble. I've heard someone tell you about your real skills."

"Who said that?"

  Master Sang's expression changed slightly, and he said subconsciously.

   "It doesn't matter who said it. Don't ask for a second-order puppet, you sell me two first-order top-level bird puppets."

   Lu Changan suggested.

  Changqing mana is not good at fighting skills, and the first-order top puppets can be used as supplementary combat power.

   No matter how bad it is, it can be used as cannon fodder to increase the fault tolerance rate.

  The Rock Rat has been promoted to the second level, so it is not suitable to do this kind of dirty work.

   Puppets have one advantage, they are not afraid of life and death, and they are not afraid of most toxins.

  Master Sang hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly said: "I only have one first-order top bird puppet. You have to exchange it with a second-order talisman."

   "How precious is the second-order talisman, it is several times more than the first-order talisman..."

  The two negotiated for a while and reached a deal.

  Master Sang sold two first-tier top puppets to Lu Changan.

  A bird puppet and a heavy armored puppet.

  Lu Changan paid a few second-level talismans of inferior quality.

  These low-grade second-order talismans were made by Lu Changan just after he came to Huanglong Immortal City, and the materials were limited, so they were simply eliminated to Master Sang.

   This is also in line with his current level of character skills.

  The cost of a puppet is often twice that of the magic weapon of the same level, and it can be used for many years without major damage.

   Talismans are consumables, and their value has skyrocketed since the second level.

   "Master Lu needs to pay attention, these two first-order puppets, in the hands of most Qi refining monks, can only display the strength of ordinary Qi refining late stages."

  In addition to the two puppets, Sang Puppet Master gave Lu Changan a jade tube, which contained a gate control formula.

   "In order to exert the peak strength of the first order, there are high requirements for the controller's spiritual consciousness and proficiency in controlling puppet art."

   "Thank you Sang Puppet Master for reminding me."

  Lu Changan is well aware of this.

  In this life, he has a strong spiritual sense and a lot of free time, which is suitable for studying the way of puppets.

  Manipulating puppets can also display impressive strength.

  In his previous life, he had dabbled or paid attention to the more mainstream inheritance of cultivating arts, such as alchemy, array, spiritual planting, breeding, etc.

  Among them, the formation method has achieved a little.

   Unpopular skills, such as puppets, are not included in this list.

  Each monk has limited life energy.

  In the previous life, I was able to cultivate to the core formation, and at the same time, I promoted the talisman art to the third level, and I had to take care of a huge family and compete for the opportunity of the Nascent Soul, which can be described as exhausting.

  It's not like this life, limited by the years, I have a lot of free time every day.

   In the second life, he is not sure that he can continue to reincarnate, and his cultivation is the first priority.

  In this life, he still doesn't dare to ensure that there will be an afterlife.

   Only by being promoted to Nascent Soul and having a qualitative change in the soul, can one discover the true secret of the Jiuyin Monument.

  Ten days later.

  A flying boat carrying a man and a woman flew out of the north gate of Huanglong Fairy City and headed for the vast and endless gray mountains.

  Zhao Siyao wore a white dress, elegant and cool, and was driving the flying boat in front.

  The cold wind blows three thousand black hairs, and the fairy skirt flutters backwards, outlining her graceful figure.

  Lu Changan was dressed in a white robe, calm and peaceful, like an ancient tree rooted in the flying boat.

  Looking at the faint mist of the distant mountains.

  The information of the Black Mist Mountain Range appeared in Lu Changan's mind:

   "The Black Mist Mountains cross half of the Daqing cultivation world, and there are many monsters and beasts. They are a powerful force that cannot be ignored in this cultivation world."

   "One of the large branches, passing through the northern land of Liang State, is also the Black Mist Mountain Range in the narrow sense of the practitioners of Huanglong Immortal City."

   "Most areas of this mountain range are shrouded in fog all year round, which has the effect of isolating the spiritual consciousness of monks. From the outside to the inside, the darker the color of the fog, the more dangerous the area you enter."

   Half an hour later.

  The airship entered the periphery of the Black Mist Mountains.

  Lu Changan's sense of consciousness was restricted by at least half.

  The aura and mist of this land contain a quality that is more suitable for the cultivation of monsters.

   Here, human monks have a sense of difficulty whether they are practicing or recovering mana.

   "Let's go down and hurry."

  Zhao Siyao retracted the flying boat, and the two fell to the ground.

   "Flying in the sky of the Black Mist Mountains, the mana fluctuations of human monks are like lights in the dark night, which can easily attract the attention of a wide range of monsters. Especially the flock of birds!"

  Lu Changan has read the records: Some flocks of birds are hundreds or thousands, even if most of them are first-order monster birds, if a monk in the foundation building period falls into them, they will peel off their skin if they don't die.

  The two of them entered the outskirts of the mountains for dozens of miles.

   From time to time, I saw monsters in the early and middle stages of the first order.

  Traces of human monks appear occasionally, mostly casual monks.

   Some are hunting teams in groups of three or four.

  Zhao Siyao, as a foundation-building monk, immediately avoided in awe when the nearby monks approached.

  Going two hundred miles into the mountains, Zhao Siyao slowed down.

  At this time, the mist in the sky is light gray, and the strength and wisdom of the monsters encountered have improved significantly, basically in the middle and late stages of the first order.

  Some monsters with higher spiritual intelligence, instead of attacking the two of them, avoided them from afar.

   Hunting monsters in the world of cultivating immortals is not as simple as pulling monsters in online games.

   A few alone, a dozen monsters, no threat to the two.

  However, be wary of monster beasts, if there are more than a hundred of them, they will also pose a threat to the foundation building period.

   The two of them just need to avoid in time and not be surrounded by monsters.

   At this time, the territory of the second-order monster has not yet been reached.

   The reason for slowing down.

  One is to identify the direction and avoid some risks.

  The second is to look for precious herbs and spirit ores.

   The "Phantom Heart Grass" adjuvant that Lu Changan obtained was picked by Zhang Tieshan from the Black Mist Mountains.

  If one is very lucky, it is not impossible to find the "Xuanling Fruit" in the depths of the Black Mist Mountains.

   A few days later.

   Whoosh!

  The ground rock mouse, as strong as a leopard, flew over from the ravine not far away.

   There is a blood-colored flower in its mouth.

   "Second-order spirit flower, blood ink flower."

  Lu Changan was slightly pleasantly surprised when he took the flower branch.

  Blood ink flower is the main material of several second-order elixirs, which is quite beneficial to the blood path skills.

  It can also be mixed into the spirit ink of the symbol to improve the quality of the second-order spirit ink!

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, this blood ink flower is at least four hundred years old. You spirit mouse really has a keen sense of smell."

  Zhao Siyao was amazed and praised.

  In the past few days, since Lu Changan released the rock rats to investigate, every once in a while, they have gained something.

   Most of them are the first-order spiritual objects from the previous year.

  The 400-year-old second-order blood ink flower, such a precious spiritual object, is the first time it has appeared.

   "It's mainly because of luck! It's also because we have entered the second-level monster area, and the resources are more abundant."

  Lu Changan was humble on the surface, but already had a judgment in his heart.

  An ordinary rat monster with a keen sense of smell.

  And the rock mouse has more sensitive senses after the blood variation is improved.

  In the Black Mist Mountains, human monks have limited senses and senses, but the rock rats are like ducks in water.

   Half a month later.

   A terrifying roar resounded through the mountains.

  A second-order bear demon three feet tall, with many scars on his body, was being attacked by two monks, a man and a woman.

  The main combatant is the female cultivator in the white skirt, who controls an iron umbrella magic weapon.

  The iron umbrella weapon sometimes turns into a sword and spear, sometimes turns into an umbrella shield, and sometimes emits a few steel needles.

   Around the second-order bear demon, the land is sunken, with some thorns and earth walls scattered around.

   There are also many deep holes.

   It is impossible to predict which hole will suddenly emerge a fierce rat.

  The bear demon kept roaring, leaving dozens of **** claw marks on its back.

   Farther away, a man in white was holding a bone bow and arrow, his mana was fully charged, and he would shoot a cold arrow from time to time.

to be exact.

  The man in white used a tall and heavily armored puppet as a cover to prevent the bear demon from throwing stones from a distance.

   In the sky behind him, there is also a bird puppet hovering, responsible for taking care of it.

   There was a "boom".

  The huge second-order bear demon fell into the mound, with a white bone arrow sticking out of black smoke in each of its ribs and buttocks.

   "Fortunately, fellow Daoist Lu helped me. If I were alone, I would not be able to kill this bear demon even with my mana exhausted."

  Zhao Siyao's eyes sparkled, and he said happily.

   "I will fight first, mainly relying on Zhao Daoyou's frontal suppression."

  Looking at the huge corpse of the bear demon, Lu Changan estimated the area of ​​the animal skin on his body. As the main material, he wondered how many second-order talisman papers could be made.
