I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 363 Excess Dividends
  Lu Changan was not surprised that Jing Wufeng was promoted to Nascent Soul.

After all, this person has a top-level innate Taoist body, extremely qualified, and extraordinary heels. He had reached the pinnacle of immortal golden elixir more than ten years ago.

After learning the whereabouts of Jing Wufeng, Lu Changan did not take the initiative to contact him. Affected by the oath, if the person intends to pay dividends, he will come to him sooner or later.

Next, Lu Changan secretly paid attention to Jing Wufeng's intelligence trends.

This genius became famous in the Ancient You Palace, and was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. He was a man of the hour that all major forces, including intelligence organizations, paid attention to.

half year later.

Lu Changan received new information, and Jing Wufeng appeared again in Yuntian City, the first fairy city in the Central Region.

Jing Wufeng stayed in Yuntian Fairy City for a short time and then disappeared for a while.

Two months later, when the traces appeared again, it was in the sphere of influence of the "Baqi Mountain" adjacent to the southern side of Dayu Kingdom.

Baqishan is an alliance of evil forces. It has a bad relationship with Dayu and belongs to the hostile camp.

The reason is that part of the Baqi Mountains originally belonged to the Dayu Kingdom in its heyday.

Appearing this time, Jing Wufeng had his first confrontation with someone as the True Monarch of Nascent Soul.

According to rumors, Jing Wufeng was besieged by two veteran Nascent Soul Lords.

However, the outcome of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

In a one versus two situation, Jing Wufeng not only won, but also seriously injured a peak Nascent Soul in its early stages, almost causing him to die.

This battle shook the surrounding cultivation world.

Power camps such as Dayu Kingdom, Baqishan Mountain, Daluo Kingdom, and Wanfeng Mountain all began to focus on collecting intelligence information on Jing Wufeng.

It is reported that this "Jing Tianzhenjun" has a powerful innate Taoist body, and his magical power far exceeds that of the same level. He does not rely on powerful external objects to win.

During this battle, Lord Jing Tianzhen showed no sign of the Lingbao, which broke some rumors and suspicions and made the enemies even more afraid.

"It should be here soon..."

Lu Changan deduced from Jing Wufeng's whereabouts that he should be heading towards the country of Dayu.

The Daewoo royal family seemed to have seen the signs and announced to the public that they would invite Jing Wufeng as a guest, but the latter ignored it.

……

Two days later, a powerful Nascent Soul level escaping light, like a silver rainbow penetrating the sun, arrived in front of the Yunxia Sect Mountain Gate.

Fairy Zixia, who was meditating on the main peak of the fourth level, immediately felt the reaction and moved slightly.

The mana aura of the visitor was so vast that she couldn't see through it, and she felt a heavy sense of pressure.

"Jing Wufeng, I came to Yunxia Sect to pay a visit."

Jing Wufeng, wearing a green silk shirt, stood calmly and calmly above the Yunxia Sect. The silver wind and clouds under his feet converged, and the invisible ripples in space disappeared.

"Jing Tianzhen? Why would he visit Yunxia Sect for no reason?"

Zhenjun Zixia looked solemn, and she had naturally heard of the reputation of this new Nascent Soul.

If the rumored record is true, Jing Tianjun's magical power is definitely the best among the early Nascent Soul, surpassing his Taoist companion Yunlan Zhenjun.

Fairy Zixia did not dare to neglect, and communicated with Lu Changan's consciousness while flying out of the cave.

"To be honest with Senior Sister Zixia, Jing Tianzhen met Xiang by chance many years ago when he was a pill-forming monk. Before entering the Ancient You Palace, this person asked Xiang to tailor a third-level high-grade puppet. He owed some Spiritual stone material.”

Lu Changan smiled bitterly and responded via voice transmission, explaining the truth.

The last time they met, Jing Wufeng kept a low profile and only contacted in private, not wanting to alarm the Yunxia Sect.

This time, it was an honest visit.

On second thought, this is human nature.

To become the True Lord of Nascent Soul and to ascend to the top of the clouds in the world of immortality is the time to be in high spirits.

If he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, there would be no need to be secretive when he went to see Xia Wenyue in Aoyue Palace.

What's more, after Jing Wufeng was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, his magical powers underwent earth-shaking changes, surpassing those of ordinary Nascent Souls.

The strength shown by him is close to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Coupled with the special ability of the space-like Taoist body, I am afraid that even the mid-stage Nascent Soul will be unable to do anything to him.

Jing Wufeng, who was at this level, was able to traverse the central realm of the Great Abyss.

Looking at the vast abyss, only a few existences such as the three great monks can pose a real threat to it.

"So, Mr. Jing Tianzhen is here to thank you and repay your favor?"

True Monarch Zixia's starry eyes were wandering, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised as she looked at the bald Elder Xiang in blue robe.

Xiang Dalong, an ascetic monk who has been in seclusion for a long time, can actually get to know a powerful Nascent Soul Lord?

"That should be the case. Although Xiang and Mr. Jing Tianzhen do not have a close relationship, judging from past contacts, he is quite reputable." Lu Changan nodded.

A scroll of light escaped from the feet of the True Lord Zixia, and she flew out of the mountain gate with Lu Changan to greet Lord Jingtian.

"Fairy Zixia has a reputation that Jing has admired for a long time."

Jing Wufeng had a smile on his face and bowed his hands.

True Lord Zixia bowed and said with a smile: "I heard about Lord Jingtian's reputation not long ago and I am quite respectful."

Jing Wufeng's light blue eyes glanced at the graceful Jurchen before looking at Lu Changan meaningfully.

Elder Xiang is so powerful that he has a fourth-level puppet and a demon king in disguise, which is enough to suppress ordinary Nascent Soul stage. However, he is dormant in the Yunxia Sect in a low-key manner. He must have some agenda.

"Congratulations to Mr. Jing Zhen. On the day when you become a Nascent Soul, no one in the world will recognize you."

Lu Changan was about to bow and perform the courtesy of a junior.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Xiang has met someone else. You and I have known each other since we were in the Dan Formation Stage. Jing got the opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage, and with the help of Elder Xiang."

Jing Wufeng immediately waved his hand, holding up Lu Changan with invisible magic power, and asked to be friends with him as equals.

Lu Changan did not refuse. Relying on the spiritual pet of the fourth-level holy beast, he could basically get along with the ordinary Nascent Soul on an equal footing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Changan accompanied the two True Lords and sat down in the main hall of Yunxia Sect to talk together.

During the chat, Zhenjun Zixia did not forget to ask Jing Wufeng about the news about Taoist companion Yunlan.

After all, Jing Wufeng was one of the high-level cultivators who entered the Ancient You Palace.

"In the Ancient You Palace, Jing and Taoist fellow Taoist Yun Lan met once or twice... The last time they met, it was a brief encounter. At that time, Taoist fellow Taoist Yun Lan was injured, but it was not fatal."

Jing Wufeng showed a recalling expression.

Zhenjun Zixia asked for some more details and finally expressed her gratitude.

Due to the chance treasures in the Ancient Nether Palace, there were more than one or two Nascent Soul cultivators who had conflicts with True Lord Yunlan.

Including Jing Wufeng, he also offended several Nascent Soul cultivators and more than one major force.

"Devil Sword Nangong Xiu...Pagoda Sanren..."

True Lord Zixia silently recited two names in her heart.

According to the descriptions of several entrants, she zeroed in on two obvious suspects, and had contact with both of them before the body of True Monarch Yunlan was destroyed.

Among them, "Magic Sword" Nangong Xiu fought with Zhenjun Yunlan in order to compete for the chance of treasure.

Baota Sanren, a Sanren cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, is a close friend of Zhenjun Yunlan who has known him for hundreds of years.

After the battle at the Ancient You Palace, Nangong Xiu disappeared as a wanted person in the Southern Territory Jiange; the Baota Sanren even left the Central Territory and were said to have gone to the coastal areas of the Eastern Territory.

After half an hour.

Jing Wufeng proposed to go to Lu Changan's house to have a chat for half a day to repay the previous debt.

Zhenjun Zixia did not participate anymore and watched the two of them leave with a thoughtful expression on their faces.

She noticed that Jing Tianzhen was not interested in her or the Yunxia Sect, but mainly came after Elder Xiang.

With Lord Jing Tianzhen's strength and reputation, ordinary Lord Nascent Soul must be respectful.

Even if an alchemy cultivator has a fourth-level spiritual pet, Lord Jing Tianzhen will not pay such attention to him and pay him a personal visit.

When this happens, either the relationship between the two parties is really good, or Elder Xiang has some unknown abilities or secrets that are attractive to Jing Wufeng.

Since Elder Xiang joined the Yunxia Sect, he has rarely gone out and has not had many opportunities to make friends.

Then think of Lord Diyan’s obedience and respect to Elder Xiang.

True Lord Zixia had some guesses in her heart.

For the first time, she became curious about the honest and responsible Elder Xiang, including his past.

……

Qingluan Peak Cave House.

Jing Wufeng was the second Nascent Soul Lord who came to visit Lu Changan.

The previous one was the ancestor of the Xiao family, originating from the bond of Xiao Qingshan.

In the inner hall of the cave mansion, Lu Changan dismissed his servants and had a secret conversation with Jing Wufeng.

The original Xuantian Gourd Vine was transferred to the underground of Diyan Lord's fourth-level spiritual veins a few years ago. It has a better growth environment and is personally guarded by the fourth-level demon king.

"We haven't seen each other for many years, Daoist friend Jing, and finally we have a baby in the realm of Dan Dao League, which is beyond Xiang's expectation."

Lu Changan said with a surprised look on his face.

As far as he knew, Jing Wufeng had certain connections in Yuntian City, and he also accompanied the Yuanying monks from Yuntian City into the Ancient You Palace.

"Sigh, the situation in the Ancient You Palace is complicated, and there are many opportunities and temptations. I can't explain it for a while. Fellow Daoist Xiang can generally understand it as 'uneven distribution of the spoils'."

"After leaving the Ancient You Palace, Jing had no choice but to do the next best thing, change his appearance, and have a baby in the relatively neutral Alchemy Alliance. To do this, he paid for several thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, including a lost ancient prescription obtained from the Ancient You Palace. In exchange for the fourth-level spiritual pulse guarantee that impacts the Nascent Soul."

Jing Wufeng explained the reasons for his difficulties and recalled an experience before having a baby, with a trace of unnaturally complicated emotions on his face.

In order to get a baby as soon as possible and survive the crisis, he made a good relationship with the granddaughter of a fourth-level alchemist and got the latter.

Fortunately, after being promoted to Nascent Soul, nothing will be a problem.

The old monster Yuanying who coveted his property in Yuntian City back then has reconciled as before and no longer "spreads rumors" about him.

"Come here this time. Jing will return the rented puppet and the agreed share of the harvest."

Jing Wufeng first took out a badly damaged puppet.

Lu Changan looked at the charred assassin puppet in front of him, which was charred and had no human shape, missing limbs and was almost scrapped. He was slightly speechless.

This assassin puppet is the third-level top-level puppet that is the strongest after the fourth-level puppets. It has accumulated many years of research on puppet skills.

Fortunately, the core parts of the puppet were barely preserved, and there are still opportunities for reuse. “Don’t worry, fellow Taoist Xiang, Jing promised that he would pay for the puppet’s losses.”

Jing Wufeng looked apologetic and took out two more storage bags.

Lu Changan's consciousness glanced at one of the bulging storage bags.

It contains materials for refining weapons and puppets, which are at least the third-order high-grade, and some of them reach the fourth-order level. They can completely re-create a third-order top-grade puppet.

The other storage bag is the dividend income from the Ancient Nether Palace.

"Fourth-level Yuetong wood...Ziyou mineral...Xuanjing marrow..."

Lu Changan's eyelids jumped. The dividend income in the storage bag exceeded his expectations.

The six or seven treasure materials in it all start at the fourth level, and nearly half are even at the fourth level mid-grade.

Yuetong wood, a fourth-level mid-grade vintage, is a rare spiritual wood in the world of immortality. It can be used to set up formations, as a magic weapon embryo and as a raw material for spiritual talismans.

Ziyou Ore, a fourth-level mid-grade, fourth-level treasure material that contains some soul attributes, can be used to increase the power of nail-head arrows.

Black crystal marrow, a fourth-level mid-grade, rare weapon refining material, can increase the quality and power of magic weapons, and can also be used to create puppets.

The three most precious treasure materials, except Ziyou Mine, only weigh a few dozen kilograms, and the other two are more abundant.

"Fellow Daoist Xiang doesn't have to go into the Ancient Nether Palace to fight to the death. To get such a benefit is already more than some Nascent Soul old monsters."

Jing Wufeng observed Lu Changan's expression and sighed.

When he entered the Ancient Nether Palace, although his strength was not afraid of True Monarch Nascent Soul, it was unrealistic to pose too much of a threat unless it was a plot.

Thanks to this third-level top-level puppet, it was very suitable for his abilities. It once assisted him in killing the troublesome Nascent Soul monster in a chaotic situation.

"As long as the agreed [-]% profit is met, Fellow Daoist Jing will have a clear conscience."

Lu Changan put away the storage bag and said calmly.

Hearing this, Jing Wufeng's smile froze slightly and he was silent for a moment.

He smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, the [-]% profit distribution is still a little short of that. Jing used to promote Nascent Soul, practice magical powers, and forge magic weapons to protect the Tao, and his money is very tight now..."

"It's understandable. After all, fellow Taoist Jing experienced life and death in the Ancient You Palace. After coming out, he had to recuperate from his injuries and avoid enemies. He had no choice but to do so."

Lu Changan was just testing, and said with a smile: "Xiang is not a greedy person. The profits just now have been satisfied, and now it can be regarded as fulfilling the agreed share."

Jing Wufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, appreciating Elder Xiang's knowledge of advance and retreat.

He actually regrets that there was no upper limit for the one-cent dividend promised at that time.

The outside world did not expect that this time the Ancient You Palace was unusual.

"Jing specially traded a fourth-level blood dragon fruit in Yuntian City. It is the precious main ingredient of the body-refining holy medicine. Taking it raw can also increase body-refining skills."

"This result should be compensated by Jing."

Jing Wufeng spoke solemnly and handed over a sealed jade box.

Lu Changan took the jade box and explored it with his spiritual consciousness, and found that the dragon-scale blood-colored fruit sealed inside contained a huge amount of blood energy of heaven and earth.

The value of this fruit far exceeds that of the fourth-level spiritual fruit of the same level, and is second only to the Infant Transformation Fruit.

Lu Changan's concurrent cultivation body has reached the peak of the late third level.

At the fourth level of body refining, there is a terrifying natural chasm, and Lu Changan has almost reached the point of no further progress.

Qualifications, opportunities, and the environment of heaven and earth have all become shackles.

If Lu Changan practiced step by step, it would be difficult for Lu Changan to reach the fourth level of body training even after hundreds of years.

The difficulty of promotion is even more difficult than that of Jie Ying.

In today's world environment, body refining is more difficult than qi refining, and it becomes more and more obvious as you go up.

As a Dharma practitioner, you can occasionally hear legends about transforming into gods. And those who have reached the fifth level through body refining are unheard of in Tianyan Continent since ancient times.

The current fourth-level blood dragon fruit allows Lu Changan to see a glimmer of opportunity in the future.

After having a baby in the future, you can look for opportunities to advance to the fourth level of body training.

……

"Fellow Daoist Jing is determined. The harvest this time exceeded Xiang's expectations and I am very satisfied."

Lu Changan immediately expressed his gratitude.

The two looked at each other and smiled, making the transaction come to a successful conclusion.

Afterwards, the two chatted in a more relaxed atmosphere, like friends they hadn't seen for many years.

During this period, Lu Changan was also curious about some details of what happened in the Ancient You Palace.

"Has Fellow Daoist Jing ever seen the rumored fake spiritual treasure?"

Lu Changan's eyes flickered and he asked curiously.

"That fake spiritual treasure is biased towards the evil path. When Jing saw it from a distance, his heart palpitated and he was uneasy. How could he dare to approach it?"

"However, most of those Yuanying old monsters don't understand the true characteristics of the spirit treasure, and the process of fighting for it is ridiculous. It's a pity that Jing's magic power was low at the time and his magical power was not enough, otherwise at least he would have been able to compete."

Jing Wufeng said with a slight regret.

"Xiang heard rumors from the outside that there were clues about the spiritual treasure in Taoist Fellow Jing's body?"

Lu Changan couldn't help but probe.

"Nothing! The evil spirit treasure is not suitable for Jing's technique. Even if you get it, it will be thankless for the early stage of Nascent Soul."

Jing Wufeng shook his head and denied.

"Elder Xiang wouldn't believe such rumors easily, would he?"

"Well, we monks don't believe in rumors or spread them."

Lu Changan smiled and did not delve into the matter.

If Jing Wufeng really got the spiritual treasure, knowing too much would not be a good thing.

Reaching the level of Lingbao means terrifying deterrence. How can there be any distinction between good and evil?

At sunset, Jing Wufeng said goodbye.

Before leaving, I left you with meaningful words:
  "Fellow Daoist Xiang, you and I are both outsiders. In the land of cultivation in Yuanzhou, we must work together and take care of each other."

Lu Changan's eyes fluctuated as he watched Jing Wufeng leave.

In fact, the secret that he came from outside the Great Abyss was something he frankly told True Monarch Zixia when he joined the Yunxia Sect. The reason at that time was based on Jing Wufeng.

It’s not surprising that Jing Wufeng has pointed out this point now.

The two have cooperated many times, and Jing Wufeng will definitely pay close attention to his intelligence, and he possesses various strange skills.

Tracing back to the source, the identity of Xiang Dalong first appeared around the forbidden areas of the Central Territory, and had no following in other parts of the Great Abyss.

……

True Lord Zixia did not retain or recruit Lord Jingtian.

Yunxia Sect has already recruited Elder Xiang and Lord Diyan, but it cannot accommodate this giant Buddha.

With Lord Jing Tianzhen's reputation and record, ordinary Nascent Souls would be life-threatening if they were alone in the early stage.

"This gentleman is related to the clues of the Lingbao, and has provoked the Nascent Soul True Lord from several major forces in the Central Region. Junior brother, please be more cautious when dealing with him."

Zhenjun Zixia specially sent a message to remind Lu Changan.

"Thank you, senior sister, for warning me. I will keep my distance from him."

Lu Changan knew Fairy Zixia's good intentions.

Lord Jing Tianzhen’s direct visit this time has both advantages and disadvantages for Lu Changan.

The advantage is that having a powerful True Lord friend will make outside forces more wary of him.

The downside is that Lu Changan has been implicated to a certain extent and has attracted the attention of more forces and big shots.

Would Mr. Jing Tian not know the key to this?
  Lu Changan speculated that Jing Wufeng probably did it on purpose. Pulling himself into the same front in this way would be more conducive to the future demon sealing mission.

"If this gentleman gets the fake spiritual treasure, the future will be unpredictable."

Lu Changan suspected that the fake spirit treasure might be obtained by Jing Wufeng.

In the Ancient Nether Palace, this person is equivalent to an underestimated Nascent Soul Lord. Although his strength is not outstanding, his spatial ability is good at hiding and stealing.

Lord Jing Tianzhen, who possesses the pseudo-spiritual treasure, can theoretically easily kill ordinary Nascent Souls, and is also a great threat to Lu Changan.

Fortunately, according to the memory of Tinghai Pavilion's heir "Zhenjun Chahai", the fake spiritual treasure consumes a lot of money, which is difficult for ordinary Yuanying to control. Even the great Yuanying monks cannot squander it at will.

In the records of Tinghai, there was a record of three Nascent Soul Sovereigns teaming up to control pseudo-spiritual treasures to fight against foreign enemies.

Lu Changan speculated from this: In the early stage of Yuanying's control of the pseudo-spiritual treasure, if he could only deliver one blow in a short period of time, almost all his mana would be drained, and his blood and essence would be consumed.

Although Jing Wufeng has a thousand-year spiritual milk, it consumes not only mana, essence and blood, but also several times the load of Yuanying's spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, while staying in the sect, even if Jing Wufeng controls the fake spirit treasure and has the ability to kill Lu Changan and silence him, the risk is quite high, and the aftermath must be considered.

"Before you are promoted to Nascent Soul, it is best to avoid meeting Jing Wufeng in private."

Lu Changan made up his mind that no matter how trusting he was after several cooperations, he could not put himself in danger.

……

That night, the secret room of the cave.

Lu Changan summoned a fourth-level blue-armored puppet to appreciate the pile of fourth-level treasures he had just obtained.

"Great! Most of these materials can be used to refine the supernatural puppet, or strengthen my puppet body."

The two will-o'-the-wisps in the eyes of the blue-armored puppet flickered with excitement.

"I will keep the Yuetong wood and Purple Nether Stone for use, and other treasure materials can be used as puppet materials."

Lu Changan and Wei Puppet Master exchanged consciousness for a moment.

Even if all these materials are used, it is impossible to significantly improve the blue armor puppet. Moreover, Puppet Master Wei has no experience in creating fourth-level mid-grade products.

However, the materials for refining the supernatural puppet are completely sufficient and even somewhat excessive.

"Coupled with the previous fourth-level main materials such as dragon skeleton and dragon skin, the core materials for making the supernatural peacock puppet are better than expected. We can implement the planned construction plan ahead of schedule."

Master Wei couldn't wait any longer. Since the materials are in place, the fault tolerance rate is higher, and there is no need to worry about details.
