I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 364: Alien Peacock (Updated on the 23rd)
  a few months later.

The position of the leader of Yunxia Sect has changed.

The head of the Hu clan, Shou Yuan, is approaching the end of his life and has resigned from his post to retire at home.

Master Xuefeng, who used to be in charge of Fengxia Fairy City, became the new sect leader and coordinated the affairs of the sect.

In addition, Yunxia Sect's middle and high-level positions have been transferred to varying degrees.

Those who are interested can find that many key positions in the door have been transferred by the monks who are close to the Lord Zixia, and they have been handed over silently.

This means that the era when True Lord Yunlan was in power will soon become a thing of the past.

Lu Changan completely stayed out of the matter and watched the change of power in Yuanying Sect with cold eyes.

True Monarch Yuanying is not a sage or sage, he also has selfish motives. Lu Changan understands and agrees with the actions of True Monarch Zixia, which is conducive to taking charge of the sect and eliminating unstable factors.

Elder Xiang and Lord Diyan were in a detached position in the sect and were not affected by this turmoil.

Strength is the foundation of everything. True Lord Zixia needs the top combat power of the fourth-order holy beast to maintain the power of the sect.

"From this point of view, there is little hope that True Lord Yunlan Yuanying will return to his cultivation. Even if he does come back, he will not be able to shake True Lord Zixia's status."

Lu Changan speculated that Fairy Zixia made this move after confirming the specific status of the Taoist couple through the [Life Soul Painting] in her hand.

However, in the past five or six years, True Lord Zixia has never shown True Lord Yunlan's [Life Soul Painting] to Lu Changan.

There are still monks from Yunxia Sect going out to look for clues, but their efforts are not as strong as before.

……

The transfer of the title of clan leader took place not long ago.

Lu Changan was summoned by True Lord Zixia and went to the Taishang Elder's cave to have a talk.

Zixia Peak Cave Mansion.

When Lu Changan arrived, he found two people coming to the main hall of the cave.

The leader is an old man with gray hair who is old and depressed, who is the former head of the Hu clan.

Lu Changan discovered that Sect Leader Hu's body was exhausted, his mana had declined seriously, and he no longer had the heyday of the Pill Formation Overhaul.

"Elder Xiang is here."

Zongzhu Hu bowed his hands and showed a humble and kind smile on his old wrinkled face.

Behind Sect Master Hu is a handsome man in white, who looks to be in his twenties and is in the advanced stage of foundation building.

"This is Hu Ang, a descendant of my Hu family, who currently serves in Xuanfeng Hall."

Sect Leader Hu took the initiative to introduce.

"Disciple has met Elder Xiang."

Hu Ang lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful, and with his handsome appearance, he looked more comfortable.

Lu Changan nodded and exchanged a few words.

Sect Leader Hu actually brought a disciple of the Foundation Establishment stage to visit True Monarch Zixia, but he didn't know why.

After the conversation, we learned that Hu Ang is an outstanding youngster of the new generation of the Hu family, with high-grade spiritual roots, and he has made great achievements not long ago.

Xuanfengtang belongs to the scout and intelligence organization in Yunxia Sect.

In the past two years, Hu Ang has shown extraordinary abilities. He first obtained key information about Dashan Mountain and made unfavorable plans for the Yunxia Sect.

This information allowed Yunxia Sect to avoid considerable financial losses and casualties.

Secondly, half a year ago, Hu Ang uncovered three insiders of the hostile forces in the mountain gate. One of them was the fake Dan Zhenren and served as the deputy head of the Xuanfeng Hall, which was extremely harmful.

After the two achievements were reported by Sect Master Hu, they attracted the attention of Zhenjun Zixia and prepared to reward Hu Ang.

When Lu Changan learned the reason, he didn't feel relieved. This is human nature.

Sect leader Hu has very little longevity left. After abdicating, he has to make plans for his lineage and nominate key figures in the future.

It cannot be ruled out that Hu Ang is indeed excellent.

However, the two years of continuous great achievements may be the result of the promotion of Sect Master Hu, rather than relying solely on personal ability.

hum!
  A cloud of misty purple clouds fell from the top of the hall, showing a hazy and illusive and beautiful figure.

"I have seen the elders too."

Lu Changan and the other three bowed in salute. In front of outsiders, Lu Changan did not treat him as a senior sister.

The aura of the Nascent Soul level has faded away, and Zhenjun Zixia wears a phoenix hairpin on her head and a long purple skirt. Her neck is extended and her hair is exposed, and her noble demeanor is slightly careless and lazy.

Hu Ang even knelt down to salute, not daring to look directly into Fairy Zixia's starry eyes. His eyes caught sight of the slim and beautiful purple skirt. His heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he could not hide his surprise and admiration.

"Exemption."

Zhenjun Zixia raised her hand and took a brief look at Hu Ang. The latter had a dignified appearance and outstanding talents, which made him feel pleasing to the eye.

Lu Changan and Sect Leader Hu took their seats.

Hu Ang stood aside respectfully, not squinting.

After Fairy Zixia expressed her condolences to Sect Leader Hu, she then got to the point.

"Elder Xiang has been in our sect for decades and has never heard of a disciple succeeding him. Are you interested in accepting Hu Ang as your disciple today?"

True Lord Zixia turned her eyes and looked at Lu Changan with a smile.

"This boy's talents and talents are of the highest quality. He has made great achievements in the past two years without relying on the family elders. He is a rare good talent."

After hearing the arrangement of True Monarch Zixia, Hu Ang, who stood aside respectfully, changed his expression slightly.

Sect Leader Hu gently stroked his white beard, feeling a little moved.

According to the original plan, Hu Ang did not want the reward from Zhenjun Zixia, but worshiped the latter as his teacher.

If you can embrace the lap of the Supreme Elder, with Hu Ang's qualifications, talents, and the background of the Hu clan leader, you will not have to worry about achieving great success in the sect.

However, Fairy Zixia, as a Jurchen Lord, basically does not accept male disciples.

Jiang Haoran is a direct descendant of his elder brother. He has top-notch qualifications and looks divine, which is considered a special situation.

If True Monarch Zixia does not accept disciples, Elder Xiang is indeed an option.

Elder Xiang has a transcendent status in the sect with the support of the fourth-level holy beast, second only to Zhenjun Zixia, and has extraordinary puppetry skills.

Lu Changan's thoughts changed and he quickly understood the reason.

Sect Leader Hu devoted his whole life to the sect, and his hard work made great achievements. Hu Ang was considered an outstanding disciple of Miao Hong in the Yunxia Sect. True Lord Zixia doesn't want to accept a disciple, but it's hard to refuse.

If Elder Xiang is allowed to accept disciples, it will not only satisfy Sect Leader Hu's wish, but also allow the direct lineage of this sect to merge with Elder Xiang's lineage, increasing Xiang Dalong's sense of belonging.

The only thing that surprised Lu Changan was that Hu Ang had achieved great success with his true ability, and with the endorsement of the True Lord Nascent Soul, it shouldn't be a fraud.

"Ju Ang, let me ask you two questions."

Lu Changan did not refuse outright, his expression was serious and his eyes dropped, making Hu Ang feel a heavy pressure.

"Excuse me, elder." Hu Ang said with difficulty.

"Do you really want to become a disciple of a certain family?"

"disciple……"

The smile on Hu Ang's face looked unnatural.

The target of his apprenticeship is Zhenjun Zixia. He admires him from the bottom of his heart and has no interest in Elder Xiang.

"Do you have the qualifications to make puppets?"

Before he could answer, Lu Changan asked a second question aggressively.

"This...disciple has never tried it before, so he probably doesn't have outstanding qualifications for puppet refining."

Hu Ang saw that Elder Xiang did not want to accept him as his disciple, so he followed his tone and answered truthfully.

"Tai Shang Elder, it is obvious that Hu Ang is not a suitable disciple candidate for a certain family."

Lu Changan handed over his hand and reported to True Lord Zixia.

"Forget it, accepting a disciple and becoming a master requires fate, you can't force it."

True Monarch Zixia's plan failed and she took a deep look at Elder Xiang.

Over the years, she has tried to further integrate Elder Xiang into Yunxia Sect, enhance the latter's sense of belonging with Lord Diyan, and strive to become one of her own, but it has not been so smooth.

Although Elder Xiang has a good relationship with her, he always feels that he has not really integrated into the sect and is more like an outsider watching the show.

Lu Changan was thoughtful and said:
  "Although a certain family has no master-disciple relationship with the Hu family, it does not prevent them from forming friendships. If Hu Daoyou doesn't mind our peak's Butler Xiao, he can marry a daughter of the Hu family."

"So good!"

Sect Leader Hu's face glowed red and he happily agreed.

Back then, when Earth Rock Rat was promoted to the Demon King of Transformation, he had this idea in mind. Unfortunately, Xiao Qingshan has a very good relationship with his Taoist companion Si Lu. They are relatively dedicated and have no idea of ​​taking a concubine.

Now that Elder Xiang has made the decision himself, the matter is simple.

Under the witness of True Monarch Zixia, Lu Changan and Sect Leader Hu reached an oral engagement.

Sect Master Hu selected a granddaughter of the Hu family with good qualifications and outstanding beauty to marry Xiao Qingshan as a Taoist wife.

As for the wishes of the parties concerned, Lu Changan and Sect Leader Hu did not interfere.

In Lu Changan's view, allowing Xiao Qingshan to have more concubines is conducive to the practice of "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method", and this is for his own good.

This marriage can also somewhat dispel Zhenjun Zixia's doubts.

……

"Today, Ben Zhenjun will make an exception and accept Hu Ang as a registered disciple. Good things come in pairs."

After weighing the matter, Zhenjun Zixia finally agreed to accept Hu Ang as his disciple.

Even if he is a registered disciple, a special exception has been made.

As a top-grade spiritual root, Hu Ang can cultivate faster than those with the same qualifications, so he can excel.

In addition to the rewards for meritorious service and the request of Sect Leader Hu, Zhenjun Zixia also found this son to be a good match.

"Disciple Hu Ang, pay homage to Master."

Hu Ang's face was shocked, he was overjoyed, and he immediately knelt down and worshiped.

Lu Changan congratulated him at the right time, "It's great to congratulate the Supreme Elder on accepting a great disciple."

"Hu Ang, you are a registered male disciple and are not suitable to stay at Zixia Peak. If you form a true elixir in the future, I promise to officially take you into my sect."

True Lord Zixia encouraged him.

Every additional True Alchemy cultivator is a solid pillar for the Yunxia Sect.

"Thank you Master for the gift."

Hu Ang kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, his forehead was bruised and swollen, and he shed tears of gratitude. This is a lesson from his sincerity.

Seeing this scene, Zixia Zhenjun smiled and felt good about this son.

After a simple apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Changan and Sect Leader Hu left the fourth-level main peak.

Juan was in an excited mood, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath.

"The first step of returning to the sect has been successfully completed."

"Sure enough, neither Zi Yan nor Xiang Dalong saw the flaw! As long as they act according to the plan, everything lost in the past will be recovered one by one."

Although Juan seemed to be excited, his heart was calm.

Looking back at the familiar Zixia Peak.

There, the figure that haunts him is also his once beloved Taoist companion.

Now, he started with a new identity, rising up in a familiar sect, returning to the top step by step, and reunited with his former Taoist companion.

Zixia Peak, cave residence.

Zixia Zhenjun sat quietly for a long time, with a depressed expression, and turned over his hands to take out a gray and white figure scroll.

The man in the feather robe and cloak outlined on the scroll has a dim and dim soul, just like a dead statue.

Three years ago, she confirmed the death of the Taoist monk. The soul lamp of True Lord Yun Lan in the ancestral hall of the sect has long been transferred.

The death of True Lord Yun Lan has not been announced so far, leaving a glimmer of hope for the sake of the sect's stability.

In this way, the hostile forces and Elder Xiang's pet were wary.

If the identity of the widow is confirmed, the big outside forces and the Yuanying old monster will think that she is easy to bully as a Jurchen Lord in charge of the sect, and may collude with Elder Xiang and endanger the foundation of the sect.

……

After returning to Qingluan Peak, Lu Changan declared to be in seclusion.

Next, he and Wei Puppet Master teamed up to fully implement the perfect supernatural puppet plan.

one year later.

Qingluan Peak, underground secret hall.

A five-color peacock with wings spread several feet, gorgeous and noble, is suspended in the air by silk threads.

Lu Changan and the green-armored puppet stood on both sides, lifting the peacock's two open toes high, and carefully suturing the outer skin of the last lower limb.

"You can try to start."

After a while, Master Wei glanced at Lu Changan, who was sweating on his forehead.

In order to hone Lu Changan's puppet refining skills, the last few steps were performed by the former, with puppet master Wei assisting and giving pointers.

"it is good."

Lu Changan opened the belly sac of the five-color peacock and embedded eight pieces of high-level puppet crystals that had been painstakingly refined.

call!Snapped!
  The supernatural peacock puppet in mid-air opened its turquoise-jewel-like eyes, and while its wings vibrated, a ball of five-color light surrounded it.

A powerful spiritual pressure rose in the secret hall, exuding a trace of the bloodline of ancient creatures.

This aura is similar to the five-color peacock of the Tianpin bloodline back then, and it is more powerful, but it seems violent and disorderly, chaotic and impure.

Click!

As the strange peacock vibrated its wings, several five-color light blades flashed in the air, easily cutting off the third-order silk wrapped around the noble body.

The five-color light blade did not stop, faintly forming a small brilliant storm, exuding a dangerous aura, enough to kill the late-stage overhaul of the pill formation.

"stop."

Lu Changan used the puppet control technique, and the supernatural peacock puppet in mid-air gathered its spiritual light. With a graceful posture, the peacock opened its tail and flew back and forth in the secret hall.

"Yes, the quality of this puppet is close to that of a fourth-level puppet. It is even better than the old man who was in Gutian Fairy City back then."

Puppet Master Wei showed an expression of appreciation and reached out to touch the tough feathers of the supernatural peacock. Every inch of material on it has been designed or crafted by him personally.

"I wonder how much of the five-color peacock's five-color forbidden aura has been inherited by this puppet."

Lu Changan's technique changed.

The five-color supernatural peacock opened its mouth and made a clear sound, then opened its mouth and spit out a five-color beam of light.

call out!
  Wherever the five-color beam of light went, the air was distorted and the light and dark were uncertain, heading straight towards the wall where the secret room was located.

Lu Changan popped out two third-level middle-grade golden light defense talismans in advance, but they were easily wiped out by five-color beams of light, and they were instantly dimmed and destroyed.

Om!

Immediately afterwards, the restriction on the wall that exceeded the third level limit trembled rapidly, quickly dimmed, and finally failed to hold on. The five-color beam left a flat, black hole about a foot deep.

The power of the five-color beam also collapsed and disappeared at this time.

"The effect of the five-color aura exceeds that of the third-level high-grade five-color peacock. However, it should not be as good as the fourth-level five-color peacock. Otherwise, the aura restriction in the early stage of Nascent Soul can be easily overcome."

Lu Changan made a rough guess and came to a preliminary conclusion.

Two days later.

Lu Changan and Wei Puppet Master conducted a comprehensive inspection on the five-color peacock and confirmed that there were no major flaws. Some minor problems can be optimized and adjusted later.

During this period, the Five-Colored Peacock briefly fought with Lord Diyan in the fourth-order magic array, but was suppressed by the latter without taking any advantage.

Lu Changan made an evaluation of the supernatural peacock puppet, and found that its overall strength was stronger than the quasi-fourth-level green-armored puppet he had just obtained that year.

In the face of Nascent Soul monks who rely on the aura of magic weapons and the restrictions of talismans, it may have a good check and balance effect.

The disadvantage is that the five-color aura of the supernatural peacock is ultimately a fake and does not reach the ideal power.

This is also related to the experience in making the supernatural puppet, and the skills are not perfect.

The five-color peacock's advantage of high mobility has been inherited.

The materials of the supernatural peacock are of good quality, including the fourth-level dragon skeleton, which is as fast as the True Lord Nian Ying when flying at full strength.

Of course, powerful puppets of this level, including blue-armored puppets, are extremely expensive and require high puppet crystals.

The high-level puppet crystal used by Lu Changan costs more than tens of thousands of spirit stones per piece. Not only is it financial resources, but it also requires the ability to refine spiritual consciousness and refine puppets.

Fighting is equivalent to burning spiritual stones all the time.

The combat cost-effectiveness is very low, far less cost-effective than the fourth-level spiritual pet.

Therefore, even if a high-level puppet falls into the hands of a low-level monk, it may not be able to afford the expense.
