Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 174 On the second level of Qi training, a demonic disaster occurs! (Please subscribe!)

"Wan Yu, how is the situation over there?"

Although Qu Guang thought there was little hope, Qu Sheng's injury worsened rapidly and no hope should be missed.

Wan Yu's heartbeat accelerated a little, but he still said bravely: "The progress is not very good."

She didn't dare to continue to compete with Jiang Yu for the limelight. She had to slowly let go of the heat on her side, so that it wouldn't have a big impact by then.

But at this moment, suddenly, I heard someone hurriedly pushing the door open and walking in.

"Mother, Alchemist Lu invited me and said that the elixir has been refined."

The visitor is Qu Yan.

She was usually loved by her ancestors and was a bit lawless. After learning about this incident, she didn't care about anything else and just barged in.

Refining the Changming Pill was a big deal, and she wanted to come and report it as soon as possible.

"What! Is this serious?"

"Qu Yan, you can't say this nonsense, after all, it is related to the life of Patriarch Qu Sheng.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise.

Wan Yu looked at the excited crowd with some astonishment, not much surprise, but more worried.

That boy, wasn't he trying to fool her with a fake elixir just to cope with the problem?

"Okay, okay, Qu Feng, take people over to visit Alchemist Lu immediately and tell him that this time, my Qu family owes him a big favor."

The voice in the sound-transmitting snail was full of excitement.

When Wan Yu saw this, he knew that he could no longer cover it up, so he could only bite the bullet and lead others to the Lu family.

Lu Changsheng invited them to the Lu family, not Baiyun Pharmacy.

"There should be no reason for him to lie to us about this kind of thing!"

On the way, Wan Yu also gradually figured it out, and then he felt a little excited.

After working in Baiyun Medicine Shop for more than two years, I was able to refine first-grade elixirs, and it is not impossible to refine second-grade elixirs in the future.

Soon, the group arrived at Lu Mansion.

"Fellow Taoist Wan Yu!"

Several people hurriedly walked from another street and met Wan Yu and others.

"It's Fellow Daoist Zhao, what are you—"

The visitor is from the Zhao family.

Considering that the Changming Pill was related to the life of his ancestor, Wan Yu still had some scruples and did not speak out directly.

The leader of the Zhao family did not ask any further questions and said with a smile: "Of course Alchemist Lu invited me and said he had refined some elixirs for us to take a look at."

"You two came so early?"

"Tsk, tsk, they're all here."

People from the Fang family, Chen family, and Huang family also arrived. Everyone looked at each other, and a hint of surprise gradually appeared in their eyes.

They are all people who have been in the spiritual world for many years. If you can't guess what's going on in this situation, your life will be in vain.

"Let's see what surprise Master Lu has prepared for us."

Everyone filed in and soon saw Lu Changsheng in the main courtyard.

The latter was teaching Lu Ziyou how to practice cultivation. When he saw everyone coming in, he smiled and greeted them.

After some conversation, the head of the Fang family finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Lu Changsheng why he asked them to come here.

Lu Changsheng didn't waste any time and took out two jade bottles.

One bottle is given to Wan Yu, and one bottle is given to the head of the Fang family.

"The best Qi-accumulating Pill!" The head of the Fang family exclaimed.

Pills can be divided into grades one to nine, and generally speaking, monks will also subdivide the pills of each grade into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

The bottle of elixir given by Lu Changsheng was a first-class Qi-accumulating elixir.

As for Wan Yu, it was Chang Ming Dan.

"Fellow Daoist Wan Yu, what kind of elixir do you have there?"

The head of the Chen family suppressed his excitement and asked.

Wan Yu took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, put the elixir away, and said with a smile: "It's almost the same as the elixir in the hand of fellow Taoist Fang."

Seeing her gesture, he knew that the elixir was probably related to the injured ancestor of the Qu family, so it was hard to continue asking.

The Qu family made great efforts to ask the clan members to find out how to refine the longevity pill, and they only needed to inquire a little to find out.

"Friend Lu Dao, this Qi Accumulating Pill——"

"Yes, I refined it. However, the probability of successful refining is not high, only [-] to [-]%." Lu Changsheng did not hide it. He needed to make these people feel that their previous investment was worthwhile.

Only in this way can we continue with the second phase of investment.

Sure enough, after hearing Lu Changsheng's personal admission, the faces of several family leaders suddenly lit up and they complimented Lu Changsheng. After Lu Changsheng proposed increasing the investment in the second phase, they accepted it without any hesitation.

Of course, in return, Lu Changsheng also agreed to help them refine some elixirs to fill the elixir stores consumed by each family.

"Lu Changsheng?"

In the wilderness where Zibing Lake is located, among the temporarily opened tents, the ancestor of the Qu family put away the sound-transmitting snail and murmured in his mouth.

"Wan Yu is somewhat capable, and he has made great achievements this time."

As a senior late-stage qi-training monk, he has passed the period of choosing women based on their looks. Nowadays, what matters more is ability.

Wan Yu's performance this time proved that she has a very good ability in reading people.

Qu Guang was greatly relieved.

"Is Fellow Daoist Qu here?" a voice came from outside the camp.

Naturally, a monk in the wilderness cannot rely solely on tents to protect himself. Each tent has more or less warning and protective spiritual formations. Therefore, if he wants to visit other people's tents, he must spread his voice outside the tent.

"Friend Lin!"

Qu Guang walked out of the tent and saw a monk standing outside the tent.

The other party's name is Lin Jing, the master of Wuyun Mountain and a late-stage Qi-training monk.

"The banquet organized by Master Lei Alchemist and his friends has already begun. Don't waste time."

The banquet is naturally not just a banquet.

The wilderness of Zibing Lake is extremely vast, and there is a spiritual magnetic phenomenon here, which greatly suppresses the spiritual power of the monks. In addition, there are many monsters, so it will not be easy to fly across it.

Traveling depends on your feet. It takes a lot of time and energy to find out the anomalies in Zibing Lake.

A few days ago, when the exploration team reached the boundary of Sanxiang Mountain, in order to complete the investigation as quickly as possible and avoid the cold wind at the end of the next year, they had to split into three groups.

Qu Guang was assigned to the left road. This road was guarded by Baiyun Zhenren of Baiyundong Mansion. Therefore, the alchemist of Baiyundong Mansion had a very high say.

The banquet is just a name. In the real sense, it is a matter of negotiating how to arrange manpower.

"Are you going to attend Master Lei Alchemist's banquet?"

Qu Guang frowned slightly.

The territory of Zibing Lake is extremely wide, and the three-way exploration team is also divided into many teams, each team is responsible for a certain area.

This can greatly shorten the time.

The team stayed here because they wanted to split up.

Among them, Lei Danshi is in charge of one team.

"Among these more than ten teams, although Lei Danshi's team is not the strongest, its potential is worth our investment!"

Lin Jing threw a barrier note and spoke.

"We have been preparing for decades, and now we are just short of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Master Lei Alchemy's own strength may be average, but he has a good relationship with Master Zhou Lin."

Qu Guang nodded silently.

This is an unavoidable reality.

Otherwise, it is best to join the team of Taixuan Sect disciples. Even if it is a team with some famous casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, it is better than a team with an alchemy master.

As we all know, the alchemy master's combat power is very average, and the role he can play in such a place is definitely not as good as that of a late-stage Qi practitioner who is good at fighting.However, sometimes we need to take a longer view. Only by working together with the alchemist can we deepen our friendship and lay the foundation for the preparation of the foundation-building elixir.

"The members of the Taixuan Sect are notoriously arrogant. How can they look down on us casual cultivators? As for the grudge between you and Lei Dan Master, it will be over with a little patience."

Qu Guang's expression changed, but he finally sighed: "For the sake of foundation building, forget it."

At this moment, the figure of Lu Changsheng appeared in his mind, but the reality still told him that it was really too difficult to become a second-grade alchemist.

For example, Alchemist Na Lin, Alchemist Lei, etc. could spend more than ten or twenty years to become a first-class alchemist and be able to refine first-class elixirs, but in the following decades, they could not reach the second-class level. .

Just as they want to build a foundation in the later stages of Qi training, becoming a second-grade alchemist is truly unique.

······
"when!"

A faint bell rang in Baiyun Medicine Store.

Lu Changsheng, who had just returned to Baiyun Pharmacy, saw Manager Mo passing by in a hurry and couldn't help but wonder: "What happened?"

"This is the ringing of the festive bell. Someone has passed the second-class alchemist examination."

A second-class alchemist?

Only then did Lu Changsheng remember that there was a rule in Baiyun Pharmacy that if an alchemist passed the second-level alchemy exam, the festive bell would be rung to welcome the celebration.

Asked who it was again, Mo Guanshi said he didn't know yet, but there weren't many people who could be promoted to the second-level alchemy master, so he could more or less guess.

"It's either the bell of Junya Courtyard or Zhou Lin inside the mountain gate."

"Zhou Lin? Isn't he already a second-class alchemist?"

"In terms of reputation, it is, but it is just an evaluation. It can also be said to be potential. But the real second-class alchemist is different. He has met the standard conditions."

Mo Guanshi didn't delay too long.

If he hadn't had a good relationship with Lu Changsheng, he wouldn't have expressed his thoughts even if he stopped.

When working as a manager in Baiyun Pharmacy, you need to be careful in your words and deeds.

The birth of a second-level alchemist is a big event, and Mo Guangshi needs to cooperate with the stewards of the second-level academy to celebrate.

At night, Lu Changsheng found out who had been promoted to the second-class alchemy master.

Zhou Lin!

"The two most important promotion criteria for a second-class alchemy master are that one is to have a [-]% probability of refining a first-grade high-grade elixir, and the other is that one's cultivation reaches the middle stage of Qi training."

Of course, there are also some less important conditions, such as bone age, fire control, etc.

These conditions can change as other variables change, but these two are the only requirements.

Lu Changsheng had some envy in his eyes.

After looking at the light screen panel, the inferior root talent on it was a bit glaring.

On the contrary, the refining of the Qi Accumulating Pill is getting closer and closer to Dacheng.

······
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of the year again.

Lu Changsheng was sitting in the alchemy room when a cold wind blew, even the thick stone wall could not withstand it.

Leng Ling's cold wind penetrates everywhere.

"I wonder how the investigation went, teacher?" Lu Changsheng had a trace of worry in his eyes.

The Purple Ice Lake area is a forbidden area for monks. There are not only abnormal phenomena such as cold spirits and cold winds, but also various strange fields.

The closer you get inside, the greater the possibility of encountering various strange fields, the most famous of which, besides Leng Ling Han Feng, is the 'spiritual magnetism' phenomenon.

Spirit magnets have a certain influence on sound-transmitting snails and even treasure house fairy insects.

Therefore, since the last time I had a conversation with the teacher through the sound-transmitting snail, I have not spoken again until now.

"The teacher said that the team plans to complete the exploration mission before this Lengling Cold Wind, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to be good."

Although he was worried, there was nothing he could do.

Those who entered the Purple Ice Lake were all masters in the late stage of Qi training. If they couldn't solve it, it would be even less possible for me.

A faint heat emerged in my heart.

"Immortal Root Bone +1!"

"Name: Lu Changsheng"

"Age: 60/155"

"Root Bone (Main): 2/10 [Immortal spiritual root, inferior quality, next stage, D level inferior]"

······
"Dharma: Five Wood Immortal Dharma (Second Level)..."

"Skills: Qi Yun Dan (Dacheng), Changming Dan (Xiao Cheng), Qingmu Fire Technique (Beginner)..."

······
In the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng has reached the age of 60.

In the mortal world, he might have already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, but in the spiritual world, he can be said to be in middle age.

"You can't help but spend your longevity."

Generally, in the early stage of Qi training, one can have a lifespan of 150 years, but he swallowed some life-extending pills during this period, and his lifespan was increased to 155 years.

Before the end of the year, he finally used the abundant cultivation resources to increase his mana to 10 banks and entered the second level of Qi training.

This actually made Lu Changsheng feel very relieved.

You know, there are countless casual cultivators who are still at the first level of Qi training at the age of 60, such as the few casual cultivators I met in the Great Yuan Realm.

The fact that he was able to advance to the second level of Qi training in such a short period of time with his low-quality Immortal Spiritual Root talent was definitely a blessing of abundant resources.

"The mana has become much more refined."

Light cyan flames danced in Lu Changsheng's hands, jumping between his fingers like an elf.

"It turns out that the changes in the second level of Qi training are not just the increase in mana, but also the quality."

Lu Changsheng felt it carefully.

Having just broken through the realm, his sensitivity to himself is the strongest, so he can deeply feel the changes in mana.

Don't look at the fact that he now only has one more mana bank than the Qi Lian level. In fact, because the mana has become more pure, the one bank now is almost equal to the two before.

Therefore, compared with the first level of Qi training, the improvement of the second level of Qi training is greater than expected.

"No wonder he is so strong in the middle stage of Qi training."

Lu Changsheng flicked his fingers and used the magical martial art of finger flicking that he had not used for a long time.

The air wave visible to the naked eye flashed away, hit the stone wall, made a roar, and a gap as big as the mouth of a bowl appeared.

Using the same method, it is impossible to do this when practicing Qi at the first level.

The stone wall of the alchemy room contains fine steel and stone components, and its hardness is comparable to ordinary magic weapons.

He didn't dare to try any more lest he destroy the alchemy room.

Tonight is the New Year's Eve, and Lu Changsheng is preparing to return to the Lu Mansion to celebrate the festival with his family. He doesn't want to see Manager Mo walking in a hurry just as he goes out.

"No, Master Lu, something happened."

"Don't panic, speak slowly." Lu Changsheng's heart sank slightly, and he saw unprecedented panic on Mo Guanshi's face.

"There's a demon disaster happening over at Purple Ice Lake."

Lu Changsheng's brows jumped, with a look of horror on his face.

"how can that be!"

Monster disasters are disasters that occur when the number of monsters reaches a certain level.

It is said that monsters occupied a large amount of land in the spiritual world in a long time ago, and then they constantly competed with human monks, and finally formed a spiritual world dominated by monks.

Places such as the Extremely Cold Northland and the Ancient Black Desert are places where monsters are rampant.

But in the Guangnan Region, demon disasters rarely occur.

"There are traces for the birth of demon disasters. Logically speaking, our Guangnan Region does not have the conditions for the birth of demon disasters."

Lu Changsheng murmured.

Guanshi Mo had already left. He was the first to inform Lu Changsheng just because of their friendship. After that, he would also inform others to see how to deal with what happened next.
