I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

Half a month later.

Little Guifeng, by the lotus pond.

A brisk and playful girl in a flower skirt sits on the back of the Xuanshui turtle, touching the simple texture of the turtle shell with bare hands, looking reluctant to part.

"Tan'er, if you don't go back and delay your practice, your master may blame you."

Lu Changan said with a straight face.

The last time I left Feiyue Lake, I didn't expect this niece, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, to beg to come and see the Xuanshui Turtle.

More than ten years ago, Zhao Tan'er planned to build a foundation, came here with his master Zhao Siyao, and fell in love with the cute Xuanshui turtle.

"Uncle Lu, my teacher is going to participate in the Lantern Festival in Bauhinia Immortal City next month. You really don't plan to go there and give her a surprise?"

Zhao Tan'er jumped down from the turtle shell, with a pair of smart eyes, watching Lu Changan's expression.

"For this Lantern Festival, the teacher should be arranged by an alchemy master to make an appointment with his juniors. If you don't make a move, Uncle Lu, you may be wrong for life."

In the past few days when he came to Little Guifeng, Zhao Tan'er has been overtly or covertly matching Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao more than once.

Regarding this woman's words, Lu Chang'an was dubious.

Zhao Siyao is a high-quality single female foundation-builder in Jinyun Valley, and it is not uncommon for her to be matched by elders.

If he was willing to cling to or accept the unspoken rules, Zhao Siyao would have succumbed as early as in the nine-level plot of refining Qi, so he wouldn't have waited until today.

"You don't understand things between elders."

Lu Changan shook his head.

"Uncle Lu, just go once, okay?"

Zhao Tan'er gritted her teeth, pouted her lips lightly, and begged.

"Your Uncle Lu's aura has exploded recently, and you have no time to overcome the problem of talismans and attack the second-level top-rank. You must go next time."

Lu Changan didn't bother to talk anymore, entered the cave, opened the restriction, and isolated Zhao Tan'er.

"Hmph, you're as cowardly as a turtle, so you can't take the initiative once?"

Zhao Tan'er was annoyed and helpless.

"Xiaoqing, see you next time."

Zhao Tan'er stretched out an onion finger, trying to hook the Xuanshuigui's head.

See her approaching fingers.

The Xuanshui turtle instinctively showed pain, and was so frightened that it immediately retracted into the turtle shell.

Zhao Tan'er is not a gentle girl, and she loves her in a special way, which scares Xuanshuigui for the past few days.

"Hmph! You are the same, shrinking turtle!"

Zhao Tan'er was dissatisfied, and flew away from Xiaoguifeng boringly.

Puff puff!

After confirming that the woman had left, Xuanshuigui had fun in the lotus pond excitedly.

"Finally gone."

Inside the cave, Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't come out immediately.

Came to the alchemy room of the cave mansion and picked up the alchemy that had been abandoned for a while.

Many years ago, Lu Changan's alchemy skills touched the threshold of a second-rank alchemist.

But to fully become a Tier 2 alchemist, this step has not been able to break through.

He paid the price, and occasionally managed to refine a second-order elixir, but he absolutely lost all his money, and the quality of the elixir was very unstable.

Faced with such a big bottleneck, Lu Changan chose to let it go for a while, and then revisit alchemy to seek a breakthrough.

"Um?"

This time in alchemy, Lu Changan felt that the technique was smooth, the fire control was precise, and his mind was at ease.

A few days later, he refined a batch of second-level cultivation pills.

There are six Condensing Yuan Pills and two Cheng Dan Pills, with no obvious flaws in quality.

Lu Changan was overjoyed, this alchemy rate reached the standard of a second-tier alchemist.

Rest for a few days.

He started the furnace again to refine the second-order elixir, but as a result, the elixir dropped to 20%, and the quality dropped significantly.

The previous time, it seemed that he just performed supernormally.

However, Lu Changan is certain that his alchemy skills have improved, and breaking through this barrier is nothing more than a matter of time.

In the following period of time, he slightly increased his investment and practice in alchemy.

...

Three years later.

Xiaoguifeng, inside the Dan room.

A strong medicinal fragrance emanates.

The brass elixir furnace, which was about ten feet high, shone with spiritual light, and the cauldron lid trembled slightly.

Lu Chang'an was neither slow nor fast, and skillfully performed the method of opening the furnace with his hands.

A glow of spiritual energy broke through the cauldron cover, and steaming heat swept across.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

Six pills flew into Lu Changan's palm.

Three of them are as black as carbon, and they are waste pills.

Most of the fourth Dao pattern on the surface of one elixir is incomplete, which is between the waste elixir and the inferior elixir.

The other two elixirs are full and crystal-clear, like green grapes.

The total amount of Chengdan is related to the total amount of materials.

"That's right, the quality and success rate of the elixirs have stabilized. In the future, refining the familiar second-level low-grade elixirs will at least not make a loss."

Lu Changan nodded with a smile, and put away the pill and pill furnace.

About half a year ago, his alchemy skill was stable at the second-level low-grade.

It took decades, and with the blessing of cultivation base and spiritual consciousness, after so many years of investment, the alchemy skill reached the second level.

It is enough to prove that Lu Changan's alchemy talent is indeed a bit poor.

In contrast, the puppet he practiced later has a skill close to the second-level high-grade.

If it weren't for the fact that second-tier top-rank puppet materials were rare and there were not many opportunities to practice, Lu Changan might have become a second-tier top-rank puppet master in the past few years.

"It will take another year, and I will be able to build the fifth floor of the foundation."

"At that time, you can go to the 'Liaoyuan Immortal City' to purchase materials for the second-tier high-grade puppets, and look for third-tier spiritual bamboo, second-tier longevity pills, and auxiliary medicines for forming pills."

Lu Changan thought about it.

He is now 113 years old, and he is estimated to be 114 years old.

One of the reasons for considering the farther "Liaoyuan Immortal City" instead of Huanglong Immortal City is that the latter has declined significantly in recent years.

Liaoyuan Immortal City is the first immortal city in Liang Kingdom, located on the east side of Lihuo Palace.

The actual controller behind this fairy city is the Lihuo Palace of Yuanying-level forces.

At that time, Lu Changan planned to build a foundation and chose to go to Huanglong Fairy City, because it is a holy place for casual cultivators, with a down-to-earth atmosphere and cheap talisman materials, suitable for casual cultivators without background.

Liaoyuan Immortal City is often haunted by immortals of Dandan, and the scale and grade are higher. The housing prices, rents, and prices in the city will naturally rise.

When his cultivation base was weak, Lu Changan avoided meeting real people face to face, even if it was just to enter the range of his senses.

Now that the cultivation base in the middle stage of foundation establishment has greatly increased the concealment ability of the Evergreen Kung Fu, ordinary real people can't see the truth, so there is no need to be too taboo.

...

Lu Chang'an walked out of the cave, and received the two letters from the rock mouse.

One of them was from Guan Qiaozhi.

Counting it, Guan Qiaozhi has been away for five or six years.

A few years ago, she settled in the vicinity of Hengshui Mansion and adopted some orphans.

Some are foundlings without names.

Guan Qiaozhi made her own decision, the baby boy was named Lu and the baby girl was named Guan.

It seems that he wants to use this alternative method to help Lu Changan continue his descendants and make up for his shortcomings.

In this letter.

Guan Qiaozhi focused on "Qi Feng", a youth with spiritual roots.

Qi Feng is a descendant of Lu Changan's adoptive father "Qi Jingyun" several generations apart.

A few years ago, Qi Feng was discovered by Guan Qiaozhi to have mana fluctuations in his body, and he was officially introduced to the fairy road.

"I came from a gang in Jianghu, experienced and experienced, acted wisely and steadily, with low-level spiritual roots and high-level ambitions..."

Guan Qiaozhi described in the letter that Qi Feng has similarities with Lu Changan in many aspects.

Therefore, as a fairy guide, she took care of Qi Feng a little and gave some pointers, but she didn't give much resources.

Recently, Qi Feng has cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and will officially walk in the world of cultivating immortals.

When Guan Qiaozhi discovered Qi Feng, he had practiced the "Open Source Sutra" for many years, and had a solid foundation in the second level of Qi refining.

"Qi Feng? That's fine."

Guan Qiaozhi took care of the descendants of her adoptive father's spiritual roots, which was actually in line with Lu Chang'an's wishes.

He can understand the above behavior of Guan Qiaozhi's "sustaining emotion".

As long as Xiao Guifeng is not used as an orphanage, he has no objection.

Guan Qiaozhi, as a caring person, understands his temperament and will not do such a thing of throwing burdens.

...

The second letter is from Li Erqing.

The content of the letter was completely within Lu Changan's expectations.

The three foundations of the Mu family have been built, and the number of people in the Qi refining period has increased greatly, and the land of spiritual veins in Feiyue Lake is no longer enough.

In the past two years, the Mu Family of Feiyue Lake considered expanding to the surrounding areas.

As a result, the plan went bankrupt.

The main reason is that there is no suitable goal and opportunity.

The Jiji family on the north side of Feiyue Lake is far away from each other, so it is difficult to provoke conflicts. Moreover, this faction has a good relationship with the Beast Familiar Zhou family, almost half a vassal.

On the south side of Feiyue Lake is Fengye Huang's house, and on the east side is the Xiuxian resident, which is Zhuyeshanfang City.

They are all the territory of the Huang family.

Not only did the Huang family have the shelter of the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but after two years of relief, a young Foundation Establishment monk was born.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivation Clan on the southwest side is closer to Jinyun Valley. The ancestors of this family had a fake Daoist Dan several decades ago, and they have a relationship with Jinyun Valley to this day.

In the end, the Mu family with one family and three foundations only annexed one or two surrounding small families in the Qi refining period, slightly expanding the family business and sphere of influence.

However, the fundamental problem has not been resolved.

If you can't expand outwards.

The internal conflicts in the family are further intensified, the old and new lineages are opposed, and the resources and spiritual lines are limited, which can only squeeze the middle and lower clansmen.

Li Erqing was worried about the plight and hidden dangers of the Mu family, and in the letter he implicitly expressed his intention to ask for advice.

...

It's been a few days since this letter arrived.

Li Erqing personally rushed to Xiaoguifeng, and talked with Lu Changan until late at night.

"Little brother suddenly realized: when Uncle Ren Long died, the meaning of the third suggestion made by elder brother."

Li Erqing sighed with a complicated expression.

At that time, Huang Tankong plotted against the Mu family, leaving only Li Erqing with a foreign surname, Jianji.

In order to prevent the Mu family from splitting, Lu Changan mentioned three suggestions.

The first two resolve conflicts from within.

They are to let Li Erqing delegate power to train new foundation-building monks in the old line of the Mu family.

Only the third suggestion is to transfer the contradiction from the outside.

"If one day, the situation in Feiyue Lake is stable and cannot meet the cultivation needs of your lineage. You can take your direct lineage and go outside to establish your own family."

Recalling Lu Changan's words back then, Li Erqing had to admire him, his vision was far-reaching.

As long as Li Erqing is still around, the interest demands generated by his huge clan descendants will continue the confrontation between old and new for a long time.

"Erqing, are you going to start your own business?"

Lu Changan said with a smile.

If Li Erqing took this step, it would be in line with human nature.

Building a foundation in this life is the end, and the road is hopeless.

If you use your own surname to create a cultivating family, and the blood of the descendants will continue to multiply, Xiuxian asked, maybe a powerful person will be born in future generations.

This way of bloodline continuation can be regarded as the pursuit of longevity in a sense.

"Haha! How can I, Li Erqing, let the elder brother look down on me so easily?"

Li Erqing shook his head and grinned loudly.

"Little brother hereby swears that as a married son-in-law, he will be a member of the Mu family for life, and will guard Feiyue Lake until the last moment."

Looking at the surprised Lu Changan, Li Erqing felt an inexplicable sense of relief and pride.

"Oh, then how do you solve the hidden danger?"

Lu Changan was indeed a little surprised.

What Li Erqing did was a model of knowing how to repay kindness.

After all, without the care and cultivation of the Mu family, Li Erqing would not have had the glory of having a child all his life.

"Congren learned of my thoughts and volunteered to expand in remote areas, taking away most of the direct descendants."

"In this way, within Feiyue Lake, there will be no opposition between the old and new veins."

Li Erqing talked about the future countermeasures.

"Congren is a very responsible kid."

Lu Changan praised.

No wonder Li Erqing was full of praise for his grandson Mu Congren a few years ago.

At the same time, Lu Chang'an understood another deep meaning of doing so.

Li Erqing guards Mu's family all his life and will not set up his own family.

However, his grandson brought his direct bloodline to expand outside, and when the time is right, he will have the capital to support his own family.

Li Erqing discussed with Lu Chang'an a lot about Mu Congren leading the clansmen to expand abroad.

In the area near the border of Liang State, there are cheap second-order spirit veins for rent and sale.

Because of the remote location, the trade is not prosperous and the conditions are difficult.

Moreover, it is located on the edge of the sect's influence, and the security environment is not bad.

"My little brother is visiting this time, and I want to ask Congren for a way to protect his life."

Li Erqing said.

When Lu Changan heard this, his heart moved.

He happened to have a lot of reserves of second-order talismans and puppets on hand.

Especially the puppets of the second-tier middle and lower ranks who are trained in hand, because they have not revealed their identity as second-tier puppet masters, they cannot be sold openly.

"This set of talismans is just a little bit of my brother's care. The rest of the means of protection will be sold at the store's purchase price."

Lu Changan first handed over a talisman box, which contained several low-grade second-grade talismans.

Afterwards, he took out a box of second-grade talismans, mainly low-grade and middle-grade talismans, with a small amount of high-grade talismans.

He also took out two or three top-grade instruments and several second-order puppets.

"this……"

Li Erqing couldn't help being stunned, his eyes stared straight, his throat swallowed and wriggled.

Li Erqing struggled for a long time, took a deep breath, and looked back with difficulty.

Looking at Lu Changan, it seemed that there was a sense of reacquaintance.

He came here this time, prepared well, and raised a lot of spirit stones, but at this moment, he felt that it was not enough.

The above-mentioned war supplies can only be regarded as Lu Changan's conventional means, and he doesn't mind showing a little bit to those who are familiar with and trust him.

In the end, Li Erqing squeezed out his life savings, including the support from the veterans of the Mu family, and owed Lu Changan two thousand spirit stones.

Buy a top-grade magic weapon, two second-tier puppets, and more than ten second-tier mid-to-high-grade talismans.

The next day, Lu Changan sent away Li Erqing, who had an empty expression and implied pain in his flesh.

Li Erqing has never spent so many spirit stones in his whole life.

It is indeed the war supplies that Lu Changan brought out, the quality is high and the price is cheap, the temptation is too great.

The two thousand spirit stones Li Erqing owed.

Lu Changan wasn't worried, anyway, he had many descendants, and there was no shortage of people who could repay his debts.

...

one year later.

Little Guifeng, a secret room.

"One hundred and fourteen years old, five levels of foundation building. The progress of cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building has reached two-thirds."

Lu Chang'an slowly collected his energy, the lake of spiritual energy in his dantian expanded a bit, and Changqing's magic power became more and more profound.

With such a small number of steps, the quality of mana does not change much.

However, the total amount of mana has increased by about 30%, which is helpful for drawing symbols and protracted battles.

Whoop! snore!

In front of Lu Changan, the Xuanshui turtle greedily sucked in the air, and let out some kind of excited and hasty cry.

"Oh? Has it reached the limit of the first-order late stage?"

Lu Chang'an investigated the situation of the Xuanshuigui, and the mana in his body was brewing to the peak, only missing an opportunity for a qualitative change.

Xuanshuigui stuck out his tongue agitatedly, rubbing against his clothes enthusiastically and joyfully, with a look of can't wait.
