I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

half year later.

On the top of Xiaoguifeng Mountain, in the pavilion by the pool.

"Brother Lu! When we meet this time, I see your mana fluctuating. It's not far from hitting the late stage of foundation establishment."

The girl in the yellow skirt, who was as beautiful as Yan, had a crisp voice and bright eyes, like a caring concubine, pinching Lu Changan's shoulders and back.

"Seven years later, the 'Secret Realm of Qingming' will open again."

"By Brother Lu's extraordinary strength, once he becomes a major repairer in the late stage of foundation establishment, it will be difficult to meet an opponent in the secret realm. At that time, there will be a lot of chances to get the opportunity to form a pill."

"Secret realm of Qingming?"

Lu Changan's heart moved, and he calculated the time.

The last time the Qingming Secret Realm was opened, he was only ninety-six years old, and his cultivation was at the early stage of foundation establishment.

Most of the monks participating in the Qingming Secret Realm are young and strong in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment, with profound backgrounds.

"Are you so sure that I will be able to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment? Besides, it is not easy for non-zongmen monks to get a quota."

Lu Changan said calmly.

Because of Tianzhilou's prediction a few years ago, he felt that he might not be able to catch up with Qingming Secret Realm.

"Brother Lu's mana is pure and his foundation is solid. Although the progress of cultivation is slow, he is not standing still. Qingxuan not only believes that you can advance to the late stage of foundation establishment, even if you will form alchemy in the future, you hope to exceed ordinary people."

Zhou Qingxuan's dimples bloomed, and her smile was sweet.

Her confidence in Lu Changan mainly stems from the latter's ability to fight against Baisu Soul Gu and control the body.

Coming from a family of beast masters, Zhou Qingxuan is well aware of the horror of Baisu Soul Gu, and as a true disciple of the Nascent Soul Sect, most of them cannot do this.

"As for the quota for the Qingming Secret Realm. As long as Brother Lu is willing, my Zhou family can help you get one."

Compared with casual cultivators, it is easier for sects and aristocratic families to get places, but they have to fight for it and pay a lot of money.

At the same time, every foundation-building cultivator of the sect is only eligible to enter the Qingming Secret Realm once in this life.

For example, Zhao Siyao, who has entered the Qingming Secret Realm for forty years, is not eligible this time.

"Miss Zhou expressed her kindness, and Lu accepted it. If there is a day, we will discuss it in the long term."

Lu Changan glanced at the cute and caring girl in yellow skirt.

Youthful and beautiful, noble in birth, excellent in talent, extraordinary in strength, proactive in making plans for you...

This is the partner that many men dream of.

However, Lu Changan knows that there is no such thing as a perfect partner in this world.

The reason why Zhou Qingxuan is so flattering is because of the double shackles of the Gu worm restriction and the oath of the heart demon.

His life and future are in the hands of Lu Changan.

The real Zhou Qingxuan, a eccentric elf, has no shortage of schemes, and is never merciless when tricking people.

Back then outside Zhuyeshanfang City, this woman cut off her uncle's arm without hesitation in order to save her life.

Including selling a problematic pill from Lu Changan at a low price.

Of course, this woman's disposition is not so bad.

In Huanglong Xiancheng in the past, Lu Chang'an, who was in the Qi refining period, came to visit and helped Mu's family buy a second-order spirit beast. Although Zhou Qingxuan's gesture was a little realistic, but in the end she honored her favor.

"I have good news for Brother Lu."

Zhou Qingxuan smiled sweetly, and sat down next to Lu Changan, the fragrance came to her nostrils.

"My Zhou family's 'Blood Spirit Pond' has a cleansing effect on the physique of the spiritual pet. In addition to significantly improving the cultivation base, it can also slightly promote the blood."

"However, the Blood Spirit Pond is opened once every year, and it needs to consume a lot of precious materials. The number of places is limited, and it is rarely opened to the public. Qingxuan managed to get Grandpa to let go and consider squeezing out a place."

"What does your grandfather want?"

Lu Chang'an knew that Zhou Qingxuan's grandfather was the Zhou family's fake alchemy ancestor, who had been famous for a long time.

"My grandpa wants to see you."

Zhou Qingxuan glanced at him, and immediately added: "It's not Qingxuan's intention, it's just my grandfather's personal thoughts. If you don't want to go, no one is forcing you."

"When will the Blood Spirit Pool open? Only one place?"

Lu Changan naturally didn't want to go to Zhou's house. When you see it, can you be flexible, as long as the price is enough, it's okay to buy a place, and you don't have to take advantage of Zhou's family.

"Probably within a year or two." Zhou Qingxuan replied.

"There is fierce competition within the Zhou family, and there is only one place. Qingxuan suggested that Xuanshuigui, who is of the blood of the local product, go."

...

Three days later, Zhou Qingxuan left Little Turtle Peak in a bird.

Before leaving, she mentioned that two months later, Liaoyuan Xiancheng will hold a large auction.

This auction is a once-in-a-ten-year auction, and there will be an auction of alchemy objects.

Lu Changan refused the invitation to participate in the auction with Zhou Qingxuan on the grounds of cultivation.

About this auction, more than one friend mentioned it to Lu Changan.

a month later.

A female cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment with a cool appearance and a fluttering fairy skirt arrived as scheduled.

"Zhao Daoyou is here."

Lu Changan smiled and welcomed Fairy Zhao to the pavilion by the pool.

Zhao Siyao smelled the fresh fragrance of lotus, and glanced at the lotus in full bloom, as well as the black water turtle floating lazily in the pool, and couldn't help but feel happy.

She said with a smile: "Every time I go back to Little Turtle Peak, I feel extra relaxed and peaceful."

Zhao Siyao was going to participate in the auction of Liaoyuan Immortal City, but it was not on the way, he just came to Xiaoguifeng as promised.

"If fellow Daoist Zhao likes it, he can be a guest at Little Guifeng for a few days."

Lu Changan wasn't just a small talk.

For ordinary female nuns, he would not stay overnight.

Zhao Siyao is the monk he trusts the most in this life. He has known him since he was a boy and has been going all the way to today.

"Thank you Lu Daoyou for your kindness." Zhao Siyao politely declined.

In the past more than a hundred years, she has never stayed in Lu Changan's residence.

"Zhao Daoyou has cultivated to the peak of foundation building, and is preparing for alchemy. Is there any progress in the near future?"

After chatting for a while, Lu Changan got down to business.

"Among the foundation-building monks in Jinyun Valley, Siyao's aptitude is not outstanding, and he doesn't have the backing of an elder in the true alchemy stage. If you want to exchange crystal pills in the sect, there is no hope within ten years. Even if you wait in line for more than ten years, you may be cut in line ..."

Zhao Siyao mentioned the current situation in Jinyun Valley.

It was because of Lu Changan's relationship that she would confide in her heart and vent her distress.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is still the cold and indifferent Yaoyue fairy.

Lu Chang'an knew that Zhao Siyao had rejected the unspoken rules in the past few decades when he first entered Jinyun Valley, especially in the foundation building stage.

Now, at the hurdle of forming pills.

The opportunity to form a pill is a top-level strategic resource in Jinyun Valley.

Those beautiful female cultivators, even if they are willing to dedicate their lives, it is difficult to get what they want, and they are likely to be deceived.

"Only 30% of the materials for Ningjing Pill are collected. The most critical main medicine for forming the pill, 'Seven-core Xuanyuehua', includes two rare auxiliary medicines, which are hard to come by."

"Fortunately, I paid a lot of money in the past two years to get an ordinary alchemy spiritual object, which can slightly increase the quality of alchemy."

Now, Zhao Siyao doesn't expect to exchange Ningjing Pill in Zongmen, but wants to use external force to copy the idea of ​​foundation establishment.

Lu Changan knew very well that Zhao Siyao's qualifications and age could not afford to wait more than ten years.

In the future, the success rate of condensing pills will become lower and lower.

"Siyao is going to try his luck at this large-scale auction in Liaoyuan Immortal City. If fellow Daoist Lu is interested, you can go together. Tan'er and the others will be there soon..."

Zhao Siyao invited.

"I have already obtained the broken-level elixir in the late stage of foundation establishment, so I won't go to the auction."

As Lu Changan said, he took out a brocade bag and handed it to Zhao Siyao.

"This Lingshi is Lu's wish. I hope that Fellow Daoist Zhao can get something at the auction."

In the last reply, Lu Changan mentioned that he could not be of much help, and could only borrow a few thousand spirit stones to express his feelings.

"A few years ago, when Siyao came back from the battlefield of Feng Kingdom, she couldn't repay her. This spirit stone..."

Zhao Siyao took the brocade bag and bit her lower lip, showing shame.

Lu Changan thought of that time.

Outside Jinyun Valley, the two had a private conversation that almost broke the window paper.

"Lu Changan, how do you want me to repay such a great kindness?"

At that time, Zhao Siyao stared at him and said this sentence.

Lu Changan naturally understood the implication.

That was the closest distance between the two of them, and they never took that step after all.

"You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Zhao. This is a spirit stone I borrowed from you, and you will have to pay it back in the future."

Lu Changan declared.

"If Siyao fails to condense pills in the future and unfortunately dies, Fellow Daoist Lu may end up in a loss-making business."

Zhao Siyao turned to smile.

Lu Changan heard her joke, and said leisurely:

"If Fellow Daoist Zhao can't pay it back, I believe Zhao Tan'er will take on the debt for my mentor. With her potential, a mere few thousand spirit stones should be no problem."

Zhao Siyao was speechless.

The risk of thousands of spirit stones is nothing compared to Lu Changan's current social status.

"Zhang Daoyou didn't plan to participate in the auction this time?"

Lu Changan changed the subject.

He is somewhat interested in Zhang Tieshan's alchemy progress.

"Senior brother Zhang is almost ready for the alchemy, just waiting to exchange for the crystal condensing pill. Before condensing the pill, he doesn't plan to leave Jinyun Valley."

There was a hint of envy in Zhao Siyao's eyes.

Lu Changan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Tieshan to progress so fast.

The two entered Jinyun Valley at the same time when they were teenagers.

Zhang Tieshan is not as good as Zhao Siyao in other aspects except that he is the number one in Huanxinguan and has great ambition.

He also entered the Qingming Secret Realm and participated in the Immortal Cultivation War.

However, Zhang Tieshan often gains more than ordinary monks in every opportunity.

Including a variety of practical experience.

After more than a hundred years of practice, the gap has widened unconsciously.

After thinking about it, Lu Changan was not surprised.

What's more, he speculated in the early years that Zhang Tieshan might have a chance.

...

On Little Guifeng, Lu Changan sent Zhao Siyao away, and also rejected the invitation to participate in the auction together.

Half a month later.

Lu Chang'an quietly left Wuqi Mountain, disguised his identity through a mask of illusion, and went to Liaoyuan Immortal City.

The scale of this auction is large and has more business opportunities.

Lu Changan wanted to act in private, selling those puppets and elixir for training hands.

Process a batch of low-quality old talismans.

There are also a lot of resources acquired.

For example, Longevity Pill, quasi-third-order puppet material, talisman material, etc.

If there is an opportunity, the third-order talisman materials will not be rejected.

When he was promoted to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness could grow a bit.

At that time, with the effect of "Xianwu Tea", you will have the opportunity to try to refine the third-order talisman.

"One hundred and thirty-eight years old."

When Lu Changan arrived in Liaoyuan Immortal City, he noticed the passage of time and mysteries in his body.

His cultivation career in this life has reached 120 years.

The auction is still a few days away.

All the inns in Liaoyuan Xiancheng were full, gathering monks from all over the country of Liang.

Major stores have some high-end items on their shelves.

At this time, ordinary materials are cheap, but scarce resources are more expensive.

Lu Changan disguised his identity and sold puppets, talismans, and pills in batches.

Among them, the puppets sold the most spirit stones, more than 20,000, because they accumulated a lot.

Lu Changan only kept two good second-tier top puppets.

Before the auction, Lu Chang'an purchased a batch of puppet talisman materials, and only a small amount of quasi-third-level ones were obtained.

Third-order materials, in his capacity, can only be purchased at the auction as appropriate.

...

After a few days.

Lu Changan left Liaoyuan Immortal City with lingering fears in his heart.

"In the middle of this auction, there was an overhaul in the late stage of alchemy who joined temporarily, and bought such a superior alchemy spirit, no one dared to fight for it."

Lu Changan recalled now that although there was no danger at that time, theoretical risks existed.

In the past, the auctions here, at most, showed the middle stage of alchemy.

His level of Evergreen Kung Fu, and the camouflage of the Imaginary Mask, are not sure to escape the deliberate detection in the later stage of forming a pill.

The effect of the Imaginary Mask is linked to the consciousness of the gods.

Fortunately, there were many monks on the field, and the elder of the sect who was in the late stage of alchemy did not investigate an inconspicuous foundation-building monk for no reason.

Compared to the alchemy spirit of "Tianjingshui" like that, Lu Changan didn't dare to compete at all. Even if the alchemy did not appear in the later stage of alchemy, there were still dozens of real people on the field.

Pill-forming spiritual objects mainly increase the quality of the pill, or have special effects.

Core-forming spirits of different attribute types can theoretically be superimposed.

In this auction, Lu Changan gained a lot.

Before that person appeared in the late stage of alchemy, he bought a longevity pill, a piece of third-order middle-grade spiritual wood.

There are still many attractive scarce resources, Lu Changan has sufficient financial resources, and dare not make any more moves.

Otherwise, it is easy to attract the attention of Daoist Jiedan.

Many acquaintances at the auction, such as Zhao Siyao's master and apprentice, Li Congren, Zhou family monks, etc., Lu Changan did not say hello.

...

Return to Wuqi Mountain.

Lu Chang'an sealed up the mid-grade third-tier spirit wood for future use.

Afterwards, take the longevity pill that was photographed this time.

This is the fifth second-order longevity pill that Lu Changan took.

"Extended life for eight years."

After a while, Lu Changan opened his eyes, feeling that the effect of the second-order longevity pill was continuously fading.

When he took the first longevity pill, his life extension was as high as 23 years.

The last longevity pill extended life by eleven years.

However, compared to other cultivators, the effects of longevity pills of the same rank cannot be superimposed, which is already very rare.

At this time, Lu Changan's lifespan reached four hundred and sixty-nine and a half years.

It is a pity that Lu Changan has never taken the high-quality Longevity Pill so far.

"Taking multiple longevity pills is indeed effective. Coupled with the increase in lifespan, the quality of my current mana is slightly improved compared to the middle stage of foundation establishment."

Lu Changan practiced cross-legged for half a day, compared with thirty years ago, he felt the difference.

For ordinary monks, in the same small realm, mana is mainly accumulated and increased.

As Lu Changan's evergreen mana increases, the foundation-building spiritual fire bred by it, and even its ability to heal injuries will also increase.

The speed of practice will also increase slightly.

This is also why, after Lu Changan was promoted to Foundation Establishment, his cultivation speed was comparable to that of a middle-grade spiritual root.

Of course, this is only measured at normal speed.

Middle-grade spiritual roots, if they get high-quality resources, their cultivation speed will obviously surpass that of Lu Changan.

...

Half a year later.

Lu Changan felt that his cultivation was faintly touching the upper limit of the middle stage of foundation establishment.

It is estimated that at the age of one hundred and forty, it can hit the late stage of foundation establishment.

After the day's routine practice and treasure talisman nurturing, Lu Changan walked out of the cave.

Squeak!

The rock rat sent the two letters to Lu Changan.

One of them was an invitation, to be precise.

They all come from Jinyun Valley.

Lu Changan looked at the invitation card, and the name on it was "Tianfeng Zhenren".

Strange name, familiar handwriting.

In the center of the invitation, there are four big gilded characters:

"Jiedan Xiaoqing!"

Lu Changan's face was slightly shocked, very surprised.

One is that Zhang Tieshan's alchemy speed is much faster than expected.

Lu Changan even felt a little hasty.

With Zhang Tieshan's behavior style, even if he got the Ningjing Pill, he should polish it again and adjust his state to the most perfect state.

Second, the description of the invitation letter is too modest.

Jiedan Xiaoqing?

If it is a true alchemy, it is 100% the alchemy ceremony.

Most of the fake alchemy real people hold alchemy ceremonies and invite fellow Taoists.

Lu Changan opened another letter, which was sent by Zhao Siyao.

"Senior brother Zhang got a low-quality crystal condensing pill. He started to condense the pill not long ago, and finally made a gray pill. He took the Dao name 'Tianfeng Zhenren'..."

In the letter, Zhao Siyao mentioned the situation of Zhang Tieshan's condensed pill.

"Zhang Tieshan condensed into a fake pill?"

With Zhang Tieshan's aptitude, this should be a good achievement, but Lu Changan felt that it was not what he expected.

"Something strange..."

Lu Changan frowned and fell into deep thought.

He also had a friendship with Zhang Tieshan for more than a hundred years, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with the alchemy this time.
