I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

After a few days.

A big dark green tortoise, riding on waves and fleeing into the sky, is near Zhuyeshanfang City.

"The situation is not optimistic."

On the broad turtle back, a gentle and handsome male cultivator in white sat cross-legged, looking at the desolate, almost half-ruined Zhuyeshanfang City.

Lu Changan went to Jinyun Valley on this trip, planning to find Zhang Tieshan to trade the secret method of transformation pill.

Although Zhuyeshan Fang City and even Feiyue Lake Mujia are not the only way to pass, they are in the general direction.

Before leaving Liang Country, Lu Changan planned to revisit his old place along the way and meet his old friend Li Erqing who he knew when he was young.

In Zhuyeshanfang City, Lu Changan practiced here for ten years during the mid-stage of Qi refining, guarding the shop, drawing talismans silently, and accumulating foundation.

In this city, it was the first time in his life that he went to Wushan together with a female cultivator he liked, and experienced a wonderful time.

The prosperity of the auction back then is vividly remembered.

Even the Xuanshui turtle successfully hatched in this square city.

"Your Excellency is Senior Lu..."

In the broken second-order formation of Zhuye Mountain, a man in Tsing Yi who was in the early stage of foundation establishment cautiously looked at Lu Chang'an.

"Do you know Lu?"

Lu Chang'an was hundreds of feet away, and he took a look at the man in Tsing Yi who did not dare to go out easily. He was probably the guardian monk of Fangshi.

"I'm Zhao Gang, Jinyun Valley's new foundation builder, I met Senior Lu in Huanglong Immortal City when I was young."

The man in Tsing Yi, who regarded himself as a junior, seemed very respectful.

Although the two are both Foundation Establishment cultivators, their cultivation and status are vastly different.

Lu Changan was almost a hundred years older than him, so it was normal to call him a senior.

"What happened to Zhuye Mountain recently?"

Lu Changan asked casually.

Most of the shops in Fangshi were destroyed, and there were scorched marks and dried blood everywhere.

"Senior Lu, the 'Maple Leaf Huang Family' was attacked and exterminated by monks from the enemy country a few days ago, causing Zhuyeshanfang City to further lose control, and was looted by the robbers and surrounding monks..."

"After the Zongmen law enforcement monks arrived, the situation was stabilized. Now, this square city is guarded by me and the foundation-building monks from the surrounding Xiuxian families." The man in Tsing Yi, the foundation-building man, stated the cause and effect.

"The lurking monks in Feng Kingdom are so rampant?"

Lu Changan said angrily.

Although the area around Zhuye Mountain is not considered the hinterland of Liang State, it is still in the inner area, and it is far away from the front line.

"Well, the main reason is that the front line is tight, and the major sects try their best to intercept it, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."

Tsing Yi Zhu Ji smiled sarcastically.

Lu Changan actually knew the reason.

A month ago, on the frontline battlefield, Liang Guozong's sect suffered another small defeat, and some gaps were opened.

Today, some small groups of elite monks from the enemy country sneaked into the back of the battlefield in Liang country to plunder wealth and resources.

It is aimed at small and medium-sized Xiuxian families, Lingmai Daochang, and Fangshi where the sect is not strictly guarded.

These small groups of elite monks from the enemy country, mainly in the foundation building period, acted scatteredly, aiming to destroy the logistics of the Liang country and create chaos.

After learning about the situation, Lu Changan was about to leave and head for Feiyue Lake.

The Tsing Yi Zhu Ji looked worried, bowed and begged:

"Senior Lu, the power of the sect is now being dragged into the frontal battlefield. There is a shortage of law enforcement personnel in the surrounding areas, and I ask you to help guard it. In terms of remuneration, I believe Elder Jin Yungu will not treat Senior Lu badly."

"Lu Mou has an urgent matter, and there is nothing he can do."

Lu Changan refused mercilessly.

On the way, he met several sect monks who interrogated him several times, and this was not the first time he refused the same request.

He had also seen that ordinary monks who had been left alone were forcibly recruited by the sect.

Lu Changan, as the late stage of foundation establishment, was well-known, and he rode on a big tortoise, and the sect monks who checked him on the way did not dare to embarrass him.

Leaving aside the relationship with the elders of the sect, most of the law enforcement monks encountered on the road were not as good as him in terms of cultivation and superficial strength, and they behaved more politely and obeyed the rules.

Tsing Yi Jian Ji was a little disappointed, and felt relieved when he thought of the rumors about the "Turtle Talisman Master".

"Senior Lu, can you sell some talismans to me?"

He had an idea and suggested.

"Yes." Lu Changan nodded, and did not refuse this time.

Not long after, another Foundation Establishment cultivator flew out of Fangshi.

Two Foundation Establishment cultivators made a deal with Lu Changan.

Lu Changan sold more than a dozen of the poor-quality second-order talismans on his body.

At the same time, a defective product of a second-order middle-grade puppet was also sold.

Nowadays, there are very few puppets on Lu Changan who are lower than the second-rank top-rank.

Before leaving Wuqi Mountain, he did not take away the batch of early puppets that had been guarding Xiaoguifeng all the year round, including two second-order puppets.

There are formations and puppets for self-defense, which is convenient for Qi Feng to pass through the weak period before foundation establishment.

...

"Elder Zhang of your clan, is he in Jinyun Valley now?"

Before leaving, Lu Changan asked.

In recent months, he wrote to Zhang Tieshan, saying that he would visit, but he did not get a reply.

Lu Chang'an suspected that Zhang Tieshan was on the front line and had not received the letter.

"Not sure. The junior came out of the mountain gate two months ago, and did not see Elder Zhang."

Tsing Yi Zhu Ji's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not give an accurate reply.

Lu Chang'an knew it well, as a cultivator of the sect, he did not dare to easily reveal the specific whereabouts of the high-level officials.

Lu Changan flew away from Zhuye Mountain on a turtle, and pondered for a moment.

"It seems that Zhang Tieshan is indeed not in Jinyun Valley recently, and there is a high probability that he is fighting on the front line, or he is performing other missions."

Lu Changan had a bit of a headache. Even if he went to Jinyun Valley, he might not see Zhang Tieshan in a short time.

Go to the front line to find Zhang Tieshan?

Lu Changan was not that stupid, he directly denied it.

He, an old-fashioned talisman master in the late stage of foundation establishment, went to the front line, no different from meat buns beating dogs.

It is likely to be requisitioned by the elders of the sect.

"Wait half a year at most."

Lu Changan quickly made a decision.

Zongmen monks go to the front line to fight, and there are often rotations.

If the injury is too serious, he may return to the clan to recuperate and be responsible for the security of the rear.

It should have been a long time since Zhang Tieshan went to the front line. Within half a year, the possibility of returning is not small.

In addition, Lu Chang'an can also send a message to the foundation-building monks of the sect he knows to go to the front line and try to make contact.

...

After half a day.

Lu Changan arrived at the magnificent Feiyue Lake.

At this time, it was late at night, and the Mu family of Feiyue Lake was heavily guarded, and the formation was activated.

Before Lu Changan got close, he discovered the hidden security formation.

Once there is a mana fluctuation, it will be noticed by the Mu family when it is close to the territory of Feiyue Lake.

On the bank of Feiyue Lake, the patrolling monks of the Mu family all looked alert, not daring to take their guard lightly.

Obviously, the family extermination adjacent to the "Maple Leaf Huang's House" sounded the alarm for the Mu Family.

Not just the Mu family.

Due to the lack of manpower in the sect, the control power has declined seriously, and everyone in the surrounding cultivating forces is in danger, fearing that they will become the target of being attacked.

"Mu family's family protection formation was arranged and reformed by Fairy Teacher back then. Even if there is a team of foundation-building elites from the enemy country, it will be difficult to overcome in a short time."

Lu Changan looked at it for a moment, then nodded secretly.

Compared with the surrounding Fangshi and the Xiuxian family, the formation protection of the Mu family in Feiyue Lake is the strongest.

Since it was late at night and it was a special period, Lu Changan did not disturb him hastily.

next morning.

Lu Changan rides a black water turtle to visit Mu's house in Feiyue Lake.

It was not Li Erqing who came out to greet Lu Changan.

"Uncle Lu."

It was a beautiful and slim familiar figure, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice.

Mu Bingyun was dressed in a black loose robe, her appearance hadn't changed much, she was about twenty-seven or eight years old, and she was more mature and steady.

Its timbre is not as girly as it was back then, but it has the magnetic charm of a dignified female cultivator, and its charm does not lose the majesty of the ancestor of the foundation.

"Bingyun, I haven't seen her for many years, and the progress is not small."

When they came closer, the two looked at each other, Lu Changan looked calm and smiled.

Mu Bingyun's mood fluctuated slightly, but she returned to calm in an instant, she pursed her lips and smiled, and talked calmly.

"The Xuanshui turtle is so big that it can fly and carry people?"

Soon, Mu Bingyun was attracted by the big turtle in front of her, her starry eyes overflowed with brilliance, she stepped forward happily, and touched the huge head of the Xuanshui turtle.

Xuanshuigui knew Mu Bingyun and rubbed her hand affectionately.

Afterwards, Mu Bingyun also sat on the back of the Xuanshui turtle, and returned to the cave on Yuexin Island with Lu Changan.

"Li Erqing is not in the clan?"

"Uncle Erqing cooperates with Jinyun Valley law enforcement monks to patrol the surrounding monks of enemy countries."

After talking, Lu Chang'an learned that in the current Feiyue Lake Clan, only Mu Bingyun is in charge during the foundation establishment period.

Lu Changan was not in a hurry to see Li Erqing.

Anyway, we still have to wait for Zhang Tieshan to come back, so it's okay to be a guest at Mu's house for a while.

In addition to guarding the clan land, Mu Bingyun, as a second-tier senior talisman master, shared a lot of talisman drawing tasks for Jin Yungu.

Coupled with Zhang Tieshan's relationship, the two foundation builders from Feiyue Lake did not go to the front line to participate in the battle, and many clansmen in the middle and late stages of Qi refining were sent there.

Mu Bingyun has cultivated to the sixth level of foundation building, and after years of honing her talisman skills, she has already reached the threshold of a second-tier high-grade talisman master.

In the cave, the two sipped tea and chatted from morning to sunset.

During this period, Mu Bingyun resigned from all affairs in the clan.

Lu Changan gave Mu Bingyun a little advice on cultivation and drawing talismans, but it was not beyond his own level of cultivation.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changan got up to say goodbye, not wanting to stay in Mu Bingyun's cave.

"Why should Uncle Lu avoid taboos? Back then, Bingyun was attacked by fishermen in the night, and she also stayed overnight in Uncle Lu's cave."

Mu Bingyun smiled sweetly and spoke calmly.

"No need, the Mu family land has many guest rooms. As the ancestor of the clan, you must maintain your majesty and image."

Lu Changan waved his hands.

At this time, he noticed a change in Mu Bingyun's mentality. She was no longer as young and anxious as a girl, and could calmly handle family affairs, including personal feelings.

"Then Uncle Lu will be a guest at Feiyue Lake for a while,"

Mu Bingyun didn't force her, and arranged for Lu Changan a separate courtyard dojo on Yuexin Island.

...

In the next half month, Lu Changan was a guest on Yuexin Island.

Due to the difference in status, Lu Changan only went in to see the small courtyard by the lake where he lived during the Qi refining period.

Mu Bingyun visits Lu Changan from time to time, and will leave voluntarily after sunset.

Even so, Lu Changan's fake alchemy-level spiritual sense occasionally caught individual gossip on Yuexin Island.

Until this day, Li Erqing returned to Feiyue Lake.

"Brother Lu!"

Li Erqing, with a gray beard, went straight to the other courtyard where Lu Changan was staying, the first thing he did for the Hui nationality, and couldn't hide his surprise.

These years, due to the impact of the war, Lu Changan and Feiyue Lake have not had much contact, and have not seen Li Erqing for many years.

Li Erqing has aged a lot. He is over fifty years old. When he smiles, the accumulation of nasolabial folds on his face becomes more and more obvious.

On that slightly rounded face, one could vaguely see the richness of the past.

Lu Chang'an realized that Li Erqing's youthful age was over, and he was transitioning into his twilight years.

"Er Qing, you have been assisting the Mu family all these years, but you did not go to the Li family in Xuemeishan, but you made the elder brother look at you with admiration."

Lu Changan patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Brother Lu, after all these years, you have hardly changed."

Li Erqing stared blankly at the youthful and familiar white-clothed man in front of him, feeling very complicated.

Not only did Lu Chang'an's appearance remain unchanged, he was also cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Who would have thought that he was once ahead of Lu Changan in cultivation during the Qi Refining Stage, and he was the first to be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now, Li Erqing's cultivation base is still at the peak of the early stage of foundation establishment, and it is difficult to make any progress.

"Oh, if I knew it earlier, my little brother also practiced health cultivation skills back then." Li Erqing said angrily.

"Hehe, your elder brother's appearance is not old, not only because of health preservation skills, but also because of a good attitude, and his cultivation base has been steadily improving."

"It's too difficult."

"Of course, you still have to take a Zhuyan Pill like a big brother."

Lu Changan changed the subject of the conversation.

Li Erqing: ...

In the hall of the other courtyard.

Lu Changan and Li Erqing chatted late into the night, reminiscing about the past, gossiping about future generations, and worrying about the war situation.

During the conversation, the name Li Erqing mentioned the most was "Li Congren", and he couldn't hide his pride.

Lu Changan had to admit that Li Congren was indeed very accomplished.

Leading a lineage of people to expand in remote and bitter cold places, in just twenty or thirty years, they created a powerful cultivating family.

The Li family in Xuemeishan, based in the northwest of Liang State, made good friends with the Zhou family of Yushou, and communicated with merchants from neighboring countries.

Lu Chang'an is going to Jing country to form alchemy, so he will have to rely on Li Congren's channel to obtain convenience.

Regarding this matter, Lu Changan did not mention it to Li Congren in the letter, and had made insinuations a few years ago.

...

"By the way, what's the situation with Mu Jiu'an now?"

Lu Chang'an suddenly thought that Li Erqing's ninth son, "Mu Jiu'an", was accepted as an apprentice by the alchemy monk when he was young, and later joined the Jinyang Sect of Feng Kingdom.

Now, the main force invading the Liang Kingdom is Jin Yangzong and its affiliated cultivating forces.

There are two Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Jinyang Sect, which is the oldest sect in the surrounding Xiuxian Kingdom.

"Jiu An he..."

When mentioning Mu Jiu'an, Li Erqing hesitated and hesitated to speak.

Lu Changan had a flash of inspiration, and guessed in his heart.

"If it's inconvenient, don't say it, brother understands your difficulties."

Li Erqing and Lu Changan have known each other for more than a hundred years, and they are willing to open their hearts to him about many things.

"I have never told anyone else about this matter, including Bingyun and Congren..."

Li Erqing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and set up a layer of restrictions on the spot.

He realized that with Lu Changan's intelligence and life experience, he could guess some of the truth of the matter from his own reaction.

Seeing this, Lu Changan strengthened another layer of isolation and restriction.

"Jiu'an, has been lurking in the territory of Liang State, and has contacted me secretly."

Li Erqing lowered his voice, sweat dripped from his forehead, and spoke out the secret hidden deep in his heart.

Even if Lu Changan guessed something, he couldn't help but be moved!

"Jiu'an said that Liang Guo will definitely lose in this war! Let me make a decision early..."

"Did you...have you promised?"

Mu Jiu'an secretly contacted his father, for what purpose, Lu Chang'an didn't even have to think about it.

"Betraying Liang Guoxiu's world and colluding with the sect of the enemy country, I dare not do it."

Telling the secret in his heart, Li Erqing felt relieved.

Li Erqing's current choice is related to the life and death of the Mu family, and the pressure he is under can be imagined.

If he colludes with the enemy country and waits for an opportunity, when Jin Yangzong kills him, he will not only save his family, but also get a great reward.

If he disagrees, then Mu Jiu'an will not be able to protect the Mu family, at most his close relatives.

If the incident happens and Liang Guozong finds out, the Mu family will face annihilation.

Lu Changan sighed, and did not comment on Li Erqing's choice.

As an outsider, he cannot give advice.

No matter which option you choose, there are great risks and variables.

...

Three days later.

Lu Changan left Feiyue Lake and rode on a turtle.

the night before leaving.

Lu Changan, Li Erqing, and Mu Bingyun discussed secretly for a long time in the family forbidden area.

Lu Changan and the Mu family made another deal.

This transaction involves a quasi-third-level talisman, a second-level top puppet, and a Zhu Yan Dan.

That Zhuyan Pill was not for Mu Bingyun, but for the future.

One day in the future, if Jin Yangzong kills him, through Mu Jiu'an's relationship, he can make an offering to Zhuyan Pill, which can please the high-ranking dignitaries of Jin Yangzong.

This is the only strategy given by Lu Changan, or a way out.

For the above transactions, Lu Changan basically calculates at cost price.

In addition, before he left, he secretly gave Li Erqing a talisman.

Ordinary talisman treasures are no longer considered powerful means to Lu Changan today.

He launched the prototype of the magic weapon, or the melee attack of the body training formula, which is comparable to ordinary talisman treasures.

Lu Chang'an had given Zhao Siyao a treasure talisman before. In order to avoid the attention of interested people, I changed the method this time.

...

Fly thousands of miles out of Feiyue Lake.

Lu Changan looked in the direction of Jinyun Valley, and there were still a few days away, so he didn't know if he could contact Zhang Tieshan.

Earlier I heard from Li Erqing that Zhao Siyao had been retreating in Jinyun Valley recently, preparing to form an alchemy.

Passing through a bay, Lu Changan suddenly felt a sense.

The Xuanshui turtle under the seat gave a shock inexplicably.

"What a strong evil spirit."

Lu Changan faintly smelled a trace of blood.

Overlooking the water bay below, it is a Xiuxian family where the second-order spiritual vein is located.

In the broken formation, the pavilion collapsed, and the fire has not been extinguished.

"Could it be..."

Lu Changan's complexion changed slightly, thinking of the extermination of Fengye Huang's family, he immediately took a detour.

Only half a mile away, he sensed the lock of a fake alchemy-level consciousness.

"Hehe, I found an interesting little guy."

An old voice came from near the water bay of the exterminated family.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six or seven silhouettes in the foundation building period flew out from the sand dunes covered by the mask formation beside the water bay.

These foundation-building monks are all elites of the same rank, with pure and pure kung fu, surpassing several major sects of the Liang Kingdom, mainly in the middle and late stages of foundation building.

In addition, there are fake Dan real people who did not show up.

"Friar of Fengguo?"

Lu Chang'an frowned slightly, and unexpectedly met a group of elite monks from the enemy country, who seemed to have wiped out a cultivating family not long ago.

"Tsk tsk, with a second-order Xuanshui turtle as a mount, this guy should have some background."

Six or seven Foundation Establishment cultivators came outflanking them, with mockery on their faces, as if they had caught a fish that slipped through the net.

Lu Chang'an was locked by the real fake Dan in the dark, and planned to determine the opponent's location first.

Just at this moment, an abrupt voice came:

"...Are you Uncle Lu?"

A young man from Jin Yangzong in the late stage of Foundation Establishment lost his voice in astonishment, and looked at the man in white on the back of the turtle with an expression of surprise.
