I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

In the letter, the details of Zhang Tieshan's alchemy were not mentioned.

For example, why only one low-grade Congealing Crystal Pill.

With Zhang Tieshan's combat achievements, social status, and senior contacts in the sect, it is expected that it should be a genuine crystal condensing pill.

The reason for this may not be disclosed by Zhao Siyao in the letter.

"Theoretically speaking, Cheng Dan's quality can be concealed."

Lu Chang'an cultivated to the peak of alchemy in his previous life and knew many secrets.

For example, in the future, Lu Chang'an will create a high-quality real pill, and through the energy-restraining ability of the Changqing Kungfu, he can pretend to be a mid- to low-quality real pill.

But this situation does not apply to Zhang Tieshan.

There is an obvious gap between the real pill and the fake pill, and the vision of heaven and earth when the pill is condensed, so it is not easy to hide it.

Zhang Tieshan didn't secretly form alchemy outside.

Instead, in the third-order spiritual vein of Jinyun Valley, the alchemy was congealed in full view, and it was difficult to hide the process from the sect's real alchemy elders.

Therefore, Lu Chang'an basically concluded that Zhang Tieshan formed a gray pill, which cannot be faked.

After contemplating for a long time, Lu Changan had a flash of thought:

"Could it be that he is taking the extremely dangerous method of transforming alchemy?"

In the previous life of Dakun, some Nascent Soul-level sects mastered the secret method of breaking the pill into liquid.

The essence of alchemy is to condense the liquid mana in the foundation building period into a solid inner alchemy.

This process is not completely irreversible.

If Cheng Dan is not satisfied, theoretically, the gray pill can be broken and returned to the liquid mana of the foundation establishment period.

Some ancient sects did not pass on the secret method, through this method "returning the pill to liquid", the mana is more pure, and then the pill is re-condensed, and the quality of the next pill formation can even be slightly improved.

However, this method is close to a legend, because the conditions are very harsh!

The process of turning the pill into liquid is extremely dangerous and extremely unstable.

According to Lu Changan's understanding before crossing, the inner alchemy of the alchemy cultivator is equivalent to a small nuclear bomb.

If there is no real alchemy secret method, 99% of ordinary monks will explode and die.

In his previous life, Lu Chang'an only obtained a broken version of the secret method of transforming alchemy that was circulated outside. Without any external force, the success rate was less than 10%, which can be said to be close to death.

With such a risk, Lu Changan didn't have any intention of trying.

For those ancient sects, there is more than 30% certainty in mastering the untransmitted secret method.

If Zhenjun Yuanying personally protects the dharma and cooperates with precious secret medicines, the success rate will be quite impressive.

"If this is the case, Zhang Tieshan probably has a higher-grade alchemy secret method."

Lu Changan's heart skipped a beat.

He has a long lifespan, and his Evergreen Art is good at healing injuries. If he has a reliable alchemy secret method, his fault tolerance rate is naturally higher than other monks.

The return of Huadan's liquid will seriously hurt the monk's vitality and face varying degrees of backlash.

This will affect the foundation, take a lot of time to adjust, and consume a lot of rare resources.

Back then when Guan Qiaozhi established the foundation, Lu Chang'an helped protect the law and tested it secretly.

Guan Qiaozhi's failure to build the foundation was a backlash, and he used the secret technique of Evergreen Kung Fu to consume a small amount of life energy to heal the injury in time and avoid damage to the foundation.

All it takes is a few months of recuperation to restore your energy levels before your next hit.

Lu Chang'an once thought, could this method be applicable to forming alchemy?

Poor quality of Cheng Dan?

Then start over again and again!

Theoretically speaking, as long as the lifespan is long, there will be a chance to wash out high-quality pills.

The premise of the above assumption is that there is a good alchemy secret method.

Make sure that there will be no mistakes every time the Huadan returns to the liquid, and your life will be safe.

"Hey! Even though Zhang Tieshan has the top-level alchemy secret method, Jinyun Valley does not have Yuanying Zhenjun to protect him, so the overall success rate is not high."

Under this assumption, Lu Changan found a doubtful point.

The level of alchemy secret method is one aspect, and external force is also very important.

If you get the legendary "Yin-Yang Water", even without the support of Yuanying Zhenjun, you can safely transform into a pill.

If Zhang Tieshan is really going to take the method of transforming alchemy, Lu Changan speculates that he has another chance.

"It seems that Master Tianfeng's Jiedan Xiaoqing is worth a visit."

Lu Changan decided to find out the truth.

...

Zhang Tieshan's Dandan Xiaoqing will be held in two months.

It is said that they only invited fellow students and friends on a small scale, without much fanfare.

Lu Changan arrived at Jinyun Valley one day earlier.

In front of the mountain gate, I met some celebrants, some of whom came uninvited to pay respects to Master Tianfeng.

"Senior brother of the sect, can you accommodate me a little bit and help pass the message? The two of us once fought side by side with Zhenren Zhang and jointly wiped out the wanted people. Our relationship is very strong!"

"The relationship is very strong? Why didn't Zhenren Zhang send you an invitation letter?"

The gatekeeper sneered, as if looking at the eyes of a clown.

"Really Zhang's Dandan Xiaoqing is not disclosed to the public, only the invitation letter!"

Lu Changan was not surprised when he saw this scene.

Zhang Tieshan has practiced for more than 120 years, and there are not many monks he has known or dealt with.

"Master Lu, please come in."

The disciple guarding the gate knew Lu Chang'an, glanced at the invitation letter, and warmly invited him into the gate.

"Lu talisman? It seems to be Wu Qishan's tortoise talisman?"

"I heard that this person and Zhang Zhenren have known each other since they were young, and they have been friends for more than a hundred years."

"This Lu Fu master is quite well-known. Decades ago, when he was in the Qi refining stage, I heard that he was a late bloomer and built his foundation at an advanced age."

"It turned out to be him, he is our senior."

Watching the back of the man in white, most of the monks discussing in front of the mountain gate showed some respect.

...

In the hinterland of the mountain gate of Jinyun Valley, on a mountain peak where the third-order spiritual vein is located, you can see an ancient mansion with ancient charm.

This is Zhang Tieshan's new ashram, and the aura environment far surpasses that of Wu Qishan.

"Master Lu Fu, there are quite a lot of guests today, and my master is currently receiving two real people, so I really don't have time."

A tough-faced young man in a snow-green robe bowed his hands in apology.

The young man's name is "Yu Qinghai". He has cultivated in the early stage of foundation establishment. He is a disciple that Zhang Tieshan accepted in the sect thirty years ago. He has medium aptitude and does not have a strong sense of presence.

Lu Chang'an and Yu Qinghai only had a relationship once or twice, unlike Zhao Tan'er and the former Lin Lu, who had a relatively close relationship.

"It doesn't matter, today is not the day for the alchemy ceremony. You just need to inform the commander when you have time."

Lu Changan nodded and said.

"Definitely! Wait until tomorrow, and Lu Fushi will be able to see his family teacher. Later, I will arrange a guest room on the mountain for Lu Fushi."

Yu Qinghai was on the verge of speaking.

Two more visitors came from the foot of the mountain, one of whom was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yu Qinghai had no time to clone himself, so he recruited a maid from the Qi refining period to arrange a place for Lu Changan.

"Qinghai, go get busy first, I'll drop by Zhao Daoyou's house."

Lu Changan didn't complain.

Zhang Tieshan formed the alchemy, and there were so many people celebrating, the master and apprentice were too busy to keep up.

Lu Changan can understand the lack of hospitality.

From foundation establishment to alchemy formation, the status of monks will undergo a qualitative leap.

In the huge Golden Cloud Valley, in its heyday, there were no more than two palms of true alchemy monks.

In the low period, there were even only two or three true alchemy monks.

The fake real person is not considered to be the top in Jinyun Valley, but he is already among the top ranks.

Whoosh!

Just as Lu Chang'an left Zhang Tieshan's mountain dojo, a fake real person's escaping light flew from a distance, and the momentum was terrifying.

"Master Tan..."

Yu Qinghai greeted him with a smile, without giving any notice, acquiescing to the fake Daoist Dan, and flew directly to the mansion on the mountain.

...

The inner gate of Jinyun Valley, inside the waterscape cave with the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators, one male and two female, sat facing each other.

"I guess, Uncle Lu definitely didn't see Uncle Zhang just now."

Zhao Tan'er covered her mouth and smiled lightly, her brows were like emerald feathers, and her nimble eyes were crescent-shaped.

"Tan'er!"

Zhao Siyao lightly reprimanded the female disciple to calm down.

"Tan'er is telling the truth. Zhang Daoyou has become a fake alchemy real person, and the social circle is different from the past. It's not like you can just visit the door at random."

Lu Changan said calmly.

"Tan'er, Uncle Lu's mentality is worth learning from."

Zhao Siyao has practiced in the sect for a hundred years, and has seen many examples. Many monks can't adapt to this gap in status circle in a short time.

"Hmm! Uncle Lu's disposition is like that thousand-year-old tortoise. He is neither impatient nor impetuous. Tan'er has admired him for a long time."

Zhao Tan'er's teeth are like shellfish, her face is ruddy and lively, and she looks obedient and respectful.

Lu Changan smiled, and could tell that the woman's words were insincere.

The thousand-year-old tortoise is a metaphor for Lu Changan's slow temper and slow practice.

Zhao Tan'er is also in the middle stage of foundation building and is about to build the sixth floor of the foundation building. He is about to catch up with Lu Changan and come from behind.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Siyao talked about Zhang Tieshan's alchemy.

"Originally, Zhang Daoyou planned to exchange for a genuine Congealing Crystal Pill, waiting for a new round of alchemy in Jinyun Valley."

"However, the alchemy this time is very ordinary, only one genuine and inferior crystal condensing pill."

"At that time, Zhang Daoyou had two choices. One was to compete for the authentic Congealing Crystal Pill; the other was to wait for the next round of alchemy, which would take at least several years."

Hearing this, Lu Changan already understood.

Zhang Tieshan is only three years younger than Lu Changan, so it is not appropriate to delay in age.

Perhaps due to some kind of pressure, he decided to settle for the next best thing and chose the inferior Crystal Condensation Pill.

"There is a saying in the sect that one of the strong competitors of Ningjing Pill is the direct disciple of Elder Zhendan. Zhang Tieshan made a concession in order to repay the kindness of knowledge and the beauty of adulthood."

"The beauty of being an adult? Has Daoyou Zhao personally asked you Daoyou Zhang about this matter?"

Lu Changan was noncommittal.

Zhao Siyao remained silent for a while, and said, "How dare Siyao ask Zhenren Zhang face to face about such a private matter?"

"That's true, Lu made a slip of the tongue."

Lu Chang'an realized that he lacked awe of the fake alchemy real person, and relaxed in front of Zhao Siyao.

Zhao Siyao's psychology is considered normal.

Even if she and Zhang Tieshan are from the same family, they are more familiar with each other and communicate more.

at dusk.

Lu Changan spent the night in the guest room on the mountain.

"About turning the alchemy into liquid, there is a saying: the higher the quality of the alchemy, the higher the difficulty and risk."

"Zhang Tieshan's doing this is probably not just an adult beauty, but killing two birds with one stone!"

Thinking of this, Lu Changan became a little more confident about his previous speculation.

...

The next day, Zhang Tieshan's Dandan Xiaoqing was held as scheduled.

There were not many monks who came to congratulate them, but their level was relatively high, and there were not a few monks in the late stage of foundation establishment and fake alchemy real people.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao's master and apprentice walked together and came to the mountain mansion on the third-order spiritual vein yesterday.

This time, I saw Zhang Tieshan.

The newly promoted "Tianfeng Daoist" personally greeted him from the mansion.

As a fake alchemy real person, it is a great deal of face to greet the foundation cultivator in person.

"Really Zhang."

The three of Lu Chang'an clasped their hands together and presented gifts and congratulations.

Zhang Tieshan's gaze stayed on Lu Changan more, and he apologized:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Qinghai mentioned that you were here last night, Zhang did not entertain you well, please forgive me."

"Severe words! Zhang Zhenren has not formed alchemy for a long time, so it is inevitable that he will have a lot of entertainment."

Lu Changan said flatteredly.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lu's address is a bit unfamiliar. After Xiaoqing passes, you and I will talk about it in private."

Zhang Tieshan smiled brightly, his slightly dark face was the same as before, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed to contain invisible majesty.

Seeing the exchange between the two, Zhao Tan'er couldn't help being surprised.

She faintly sensed that Zhang Zhenren's enthusiasm for Lu Changan was not just a small talk, and even surpassed her mentor in the degree of importance.

After welcoming the three of Lu Chang'an into the mansion, Zhang Tieshan went to entertain those real guests.

Lu Changan drank the spiritual tea and observed secretly, and found that Zhang Tieshan had a calm demeanor after forming the alchemy, neither arrogance nor impetuosity.

Lu Changan felt the same kind of "stability" in his mentality.

Having known each other for more than a hundred years, Lu Chang'an has long seen that Zhang Tieshan is determined and ambitious.

Achievement of fake pills, stagnant cultivation, and hopeless avenue.

As usual, I might be happy, but deep down I feel somewhat lost and hesitant.

The specifications of Jiedan Xiaoqing this time are generally relatively low-key.

In addition to celebrating, it is private communication and making contacts.

During this period, Zhang Tieshan shared his experience in the process of congealing pills and explained some of his shortcomings.

This behavior won the praise of the Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

Zhao Siyao and his apprentice listened very carefully.

Lu Changan seemed to be immersed in it, looking yearning for it.

...

Jiedan Xiaoqinghou.

Lu Changan said his goodbyes and left.

He didn't stay to respond to Zhang Tieshan's words - after Xiaoqing, he will talk about it in private.

Lu Changan's decisiveness stems from two points:

First, he has confirmed his guess, and there is no need to test it anymore.

Zhang Tieshan's behavior and mentality are one aspect.

From the analysis of the Taoist name "Tianfeng", it can be seen that his ambition is still lofty.

Generally, the foundation building is formed into a fake pill, and the Tao name will be relatively low-key, otherwise the virtue will not match.

Zhang Tieshan's Taoist name is actually not publicity.

That is to say, as a caring person, Lu Changan paid attention to this kind of details when he deduced the process from the conclusion.

Second, Lu Changan's cultivation and status are far from Zhang Tieshan's.

I can't be sure whether the other party's phrase "let's talk in private" is a polite remark.

Otherwise, if he stayed on the mountain and waited for the other party's "summoning", it might become a joke.

Lu Chang'an was keen on Zhang Tieshan's alchemy secret method, but he was not in a hurry.

It's not too late to negotiate with the other party after you have cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and have shown certain skills and interests.

...

after a few months.

The three major peak masters of Wuqi Mountain gathered at Xiaogui Peak, and the atmosphere was dignified.

"The border of Liang State is blocked by the sect?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you sure this news is true?"

Ye Fei was puzzled, and looked at the quiet and indifferent man in white who hadn't changed in decades.

The important checkpoints on the border of Liang State were blocked by various sects. The news came so suddenly that it was appalling.

If it weren't for Lu Changan's long-term stability and reliability, the first reaction of the two peak masters would be to doubt.

Shi Manrong recovered from the shock, her undulating chest calmed down a little.

"I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Lu leave Wuqi Mountain these days. Where did you get the news?"

"This news comes from the Beastmaster Zhou's family and the Xuemeishan Li family."

Lu Changan did not hide anything.

The Li family in Xuemeishan is a cultivating family that was expanded by Li Erqing's grandson "Li Congren" and established its own family. It is very close to the northwestern border of Liang State.

Li Congren's family even had trade relations with merchants from the neighboring state of Jing.

The border was blocked, and Li Congren knew about it immediately, and sent messages to Feiyue Lake and Lu Chang'an at the same time.

Based on the two sources of news, Lu Chang'an confirmed the fact that Liang Guozong's sect blocked the border.

The three peak masters fell into a brief silence.

Liang Guozong's sect sealed off the border, and something big is bound to happen.

Such a big change is often at the level of the Xiuxian Kingdom's war, and it is likely to affect the fate of Wu Qishan and even individual monks.

Lu Changan had guesses in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

...

Go back to Little Turtle Peak.

Lu Chang'an glanced at the black turtle diving lazily, and the rock rat loosening the soil in the spiritual field.

"Forget it, just wait and see what happens."

Originally, Lu Changan wanted to go to Liaoyuan Immortal City to buy information at Tianzhilou.

But when the situation has reached this point, you might as well prepare for the worst.

As early as many years ago, he had the mentality to cope.

Under such an accident, I believe that the news will come soon.

"Defend your own one-acre three-point land first. Even if the worst happens, it won't spread to the hinterland of Liang country so quickly and threaten Wuqi Mountain."

Lu Chang'an, who had reached the age of one hundred and thirty-nine, quickly calmed down.

He took out his pen and ink and wrote letters to Zheng Centipede and Jin Yungu respectively.

In a few days, Lu Changan began to devote himself to cultivation and comprehension of skills.

From one hundred and thirty-nine years old to one hundred and forty years old, it was the last year for Lu Changan to span from the middle stage of foundation establishment to the late stage.

This year was also a turning point in the history of Liang Guoxiu's immortal world.

This year flies by!
