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

The improvement of his Immortal Spiritual Roots increased his cultivation speed by another small knot.

Although the improvement is not much, it is better than nothing.

And because the alchemy talent is more outstanding, the bonus of the immortal spiritual root will be correspondingly greater.

After becoming a second-class alchemist, his originally compact resources became abundant again. In the past two or three years, he had made two trips to Liuyun Immortal City to purchase a jade book of alchemy.

Liuyun Immortal City is more prosperous than Baijing Immortal City, and there are many more jade books on alchemy, so he does not lack jade books on alchemy.

However, as other alchemists said, if you want to become a second-grade alchemist, there are certain requirements for cultivation.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the fire of refining the second-grade elixir.

Lu Changsheng tried it once through the connections he had made over the past two years. The Dan Fire at the foundation-building level was extremely terrifying, and it consumed all of his third-level Qi training mana in less than half a minute.

Therefore, once the alchemist assessment involves the evaluation of second-level potential, the alchemist's cultivation talent will be taken into consideration.

And even though he became a second-class alchemist in just a few years, he could not make others change their final view of him.

It’s hard to become a second-grade alchemist!

This is recognized, just like building a foundation, it has blocked countless monks.

In addition to the considerable improvement in alchemy, he also made considerable gains in puppetry.

Not long ago, he had just mastered the puppetry technique to an entry-level level. He could already refine some ordinary puppets. Their strength was similar to that of some martial arts masters. It would definitely not work for fighting, but it would be perfectly fine for doing trivial things. .

Just when Lu Changsheng was about to go to the warehouse to prepare some medicinal materials, he suddenly noticed the vibration of the sound-transmitting snail.

There are several sound-transmitting snails stored in the treasure house of fairy insects, one of which comes from the Lin family.

When he took out the sound-transmitting conch and listened, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Teacher Lin Yan died.

Thinking of the other party's kindness, Lu Changsheng rushed to the Lin family without any hesitation.

When they arrived at Lin's house, Lin Yan had already lost his breath, and a group of family members gathered around the yard where Lin Yan was recuperating with painful expressions on his face.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, many people had complex expressions on their faces.

Lin Yu and several relatives knelt in front of Lin Yan's body, with sorrow on their faces.

Lu Changsheng glanced around and saw Lin Ruo kneeling aside, with several unfamiliar people standing behind him.

He guessed that the other party should be from the Ming family, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart.

However, he didn't say much. Lin Yan failed to handle these matters when he was here. How could he, an outsider, intervene?
After burning a few sticks of incense and keeping vigil for Lin Yan all night, Lu Changsheng returned to Yunan Courtyard in Baiyun Pharmacy.

Found Wei Zhen.

Wei Zhen was not on duty during this period. When he heard that Lu Changsheng came to visit, he immediately came out of the retreat to welcome him.

After some mutual respect, Lu Changsheng directly stated his intention.

"Something that enhances the spiritual roots of immortality?"

Wei Zhen felt that Lu Changsheng was a little whimsical. However, this time was different from the past. The person in front of him was no longer the little alchemist on top of Bing before, so he still answered seriously: "Of course there is, but this thing is too precious. Once it appears, it will definitely cause a stir, how can it appear on the market so easily?"

"Not to mention medicines that enhance the spiritual roots of immortality, even medicines that enhance martial arts roots are very rare. It is said that there was no shortage in the spiritual world a long time ago, but now, it is estimated that these things can only be found in inaccessible places."

He knew that Lu Changsheng's immortal roots were not good, so he wanted to find a way to improve his immortal spiritual roots. But among all the living beings in the spiritual world, who would think that he did not need this thing?
Even he himself is like this.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng didn't have much hope in this. He just wanted to inquire. If there was news, it would be considered a profit. If there was no news, it would be okay.

"Is there a way for people to break through the barrier in the middle stage of Qi training as soon as possible?"

There are small barriers to the Qi training realm.

They are from bottom to middle and from middle to back.

For people with good spiritual roots, these obstacles may be just a small hurdle, and they can be overcome with a little effort.

But for monks with extremely poor immortal spiritual roots, it may take a lot of energy and resources to break through.

"This does exist, and with Fellow Daoist Lu's ability, it is quite possible to do it."

Wei Zhen smiled.

With Lu Changsheng's Immortal Dao roots, it is not easy to break through the barriers at this stage without the help of external forces, and it may not even be possible in the next few decades.

"As expected of an alchemist."

Hearing what Lu Changsheng said, Wei Zhen felt that he was still comfortable as an alchemist and had no shortage of training resources.

Monks like them who have no skills can only do more tasks if they want to earn resources.

Otherwise, just relying on the annual income of several thousand low-grade spiritual stones every year would not be enough.

After all, the early stage of Qi training is different from the middle stage of Qi training, and the cost is much higher.

If he hadn't been good at alchemy, he would have wanted to switch to alchemy.

"There is a barrier-breaking elixir in the alchemy path, which can break the barriers to Qi training. However, the materials for this elixir are difficult to find."

Lu Changsheng immediately wrote down this matter. He wanted to ask several major families to help him next time to see if he could find any information about the barrier-breaking pill. However, Wei Zhen said directly: "Friend Lu wants to use the barrier-breaking pill to break through the middle stage of Qi training." Barrier, right? If you had asked me about this two days ago, I would have been helpless, but now, there is news."

"what news?"

"Liuyun Immortal City will hold an auction soon. It is said that the scale is much larger than before."

"If fellow Taoist don't mind, can we go there together?"

"also may."

Lu Changsheng said.

Of course, he would not easily believe one person's words. After coming out of Wei Zhen's place, he found people from the Qu family and Fang family and asked about the matter.

"I haven't heard of that." Wan Yu said, looking at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with water.

"However, it may be that my level is not high enough and I didn't get the news. My in-laws will go sit inside for a while and I will ask the ancestors."

The ancestor she spoke of was naturally Qu Guang.

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, although Qu Sheng had temporarily saved his life by relying on the new life-extending pill he had refined, he was still seriously ill and would not go out easily unless necessary.

Soon, Wan Yu came back and said, "It is true that this happened, but only the ancestor of our Qu family got the news."

Lu Changsheng went to Liuli Trading Company again to seek confirmation.

Before he could say anything, Liu Yun already smiled and said: "I was just about to inform Fellow Daoist Lu, but I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to come."

As he said that, he took out a jade invitation, which was the invitation to the auction of Liuyun Immortal City.

With the invitation, you can get into some more comfortable seats without having to squeeze with others in the lobby.

"I wonder if Liu Daoyou has a list of the auction?"

"some."

After getting the list from Liu Yun, Lu Changsheng went back and looked at it. However, what surprised him was that there was indeed what he wanted on it. Unfortunately, it was not a pill recipe or anything else, but a finished barrier-breaking pill.

"It is said that the Barrier-Breaking Pill, like the Foundation-Building Pill, is a rare resource. Therefore, it is not widely spread in the market." Even Baiyun Cave Mansion does not have one.

Of course, it is also possible that some people have it but are too self-conscious to show it.

What shocked Lu Changsheng was that there were actually golden elixir-level items on this list.

"Qingming Thunder Heart Bamboo, a third-grade material, can be used to refine the golden elixir magic weapon."

"The water from the Sacred Heart Spring is said to have the power to revive the flesh and bones of a dead person with just one drop of water."

"They are all good things, but unfortunately, the price is probably outrageous."

His own family knew his own affairs, so he could only look at something that far exceeded his own cultivation. Not to mention that he had no money to buy it, even if he had it, he would not dare to take it, otherwise, it would be a sure way to die.

Rules only restrict people at the bottom. For those powerful foundation-building overhauls and Master Jindan, even if they kill people in the street, Taixuanmen will carefully weigh the gains and losses.

Next, Lu Changsheng began to prepare for the auction, selling the elixirs he had accumulated, and finally exchanged them for a large amount of spiritual stones.

A few days later, before he could come to the auction, the Lin family came to visit.

The head of the family, Lin Yu, looked tired at this time.

At the same time, there is also some sadness in my heart.

After Lin Yan passed away, the clan suddenly lost its backbone. Some clan members who usually looked honest and did their duty suddenly jumped out and asked them to allocate some resources to the past.

Among them, Lin Ruo was the most troublesome. She was Lin Yan's favorite child, and now she had the Ming family backing her, so she also had a huge appetite.

"Lin Ruona's child is already married after all. If she doesn't have such a big appetite, I will bite the bullet and agree, but - she wants half of the property left by the ancestor."

Lu Changsheng knew that Lin Yu wanted to stand up for him, so that he could deal with the Ming family behind Lin Ruo.

"I already know about this, please go back and wait." Lu Changsheng thought for a while and said.

He didn't want to get involved in the family fight, but he had to return Lin Yan's favor. Besides, the teacher's body was still cold, so Lin Ruo was so eager to divide the family property, which made Lu Changsheng feel a little cold.

After a while, he found Lu Ziyou and informed him of the matter.

Lu Ziyou subconsciously wanted to refuse, and also wanted Lu Changsheng to find a way to end the relationship, but considering the bottom line of human relations, he still agreed with a look of embarrassment.

"Although I am the teacher's disciple, I can't interfere in their family affairs, so I asked Lin Yin to go back."

"This is going to be troublesome." Lu Ziyou was now thinking more deeply, but it was hard to refuse, and his brows almost knitted together.

"One more thing, when are you going to have a child? It's been more than two years." Lu Changsheng said with a straight face.

"The child is too weak to have a child. If something happens one day, it will be difficult to save him."

Lu Ziyou quickly explained.

"If you can't build a foundation and you can't have stability, how can you start a family."

"Besides, didn't it take a long time for father and mother to give birth to us?"

Lu Ziyou was confident, but the next moment, he was beaten down by Lu Changsheng's words.

Lu Changsheng said: "My martial arts master level wants a child, and now you are about to enter the immortal level."

Lu Ziyou still couldn't stop his old father's attack and ran out in a hurry.

The next day, the smoky Guanlan Courtyard welcomed a very eye-catching person.

That was Lin Yin who married into the Lu family.

Seeing the clan leader Lin Yu personally leading people out to greet him, Lin Yin felt a sigh of relief in his heart. This was the benefit of having someone behind him.

The clan leader who could decide her future in the past had to lower his head and smile with him, his attitude unprecedentedly warm.

My heart suddenly felt very happy.

However, Lu Ziyou behind him was not so comfortable. He was supposed to be standing in front of Lin Yin, but as he walked, he involuntarily fell a few steps behind. In addition, the clothes on his body were plain and simple. If it weren't for Lin Yu, Anyone who had attended his wedding banquet would have thought they were servants of the Lu family.

"Master, there is no need to be so polite. This time I just came here with Ziyou to see my family." Lin Yin was neither humble nor arrogant. It seemed that his status had blessed him, and his temperament had changed a lot.

In the distance, Lin Ruo saw Lin Yin who seemed to be shining in front of others, with a trace of jealousy and a trace of regret in his eyes.

"If I had agreed to marry that Lu Changsheng—"

The maid behind him lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak.

In his heart, he sighed slightly.

The woman in front of her looked pretty a few years ago, but now she has become a resentful woman, which is really pitiful.

What's even more pitiful is that she is still trapped in it and has no self-awareness.

It was today's scene that gave her some understanding.

In the maid's opinion, Master Lu was right in not choosing her.

Lin Yin's arrival plunged the entire Lin family into a very strange atmosphere, and those who were noisy were too embarrassed to make any more noise.

The appearance of Lin Yin and Lu Ziyou represented Lu Changsheng's attitude.

No one dares to easily ignore the attitude of a second-class alchemist.

Of course, the Ming family behind Lin Ruo may be wary, but they are definitely not afraid. However, after thinking for a long time, they still wait and see what happens.

After all, they didn't want Lu Changsheng to get involved.

If Lin Ruoru can share the family property, should Lin Yin also share it?
Moreover, Lu Changsheng is still Lin Yan's direct disciple.

After Lu Changsheng handed this matter over to Lin Yin and Lu Ziyou, he didn't ask any more questions except for occasional inquiries.

The Ming family also fell silent.

They felt that Lu Changsheng stood up for the Lin family because of Lin Yan's affection. As time went by, he would naturally let go.

······
Half a month later, Lu Changsheng went out and went to Liuyun Immortal City with Wei Zhen.

Originally, Wei Zhen made an appointment with a small trading company. Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng also knew the manager of Liuli Trading Company. Suddenly, he stopped taking the boat of the small trading company and boarded the dragon head ship of Liuli Trading Company with Lu Changsheng.

There are often some water monsters in the river, and small boats are definitely not as safe as big boats.

However, this trip made Lu Changsheng feel something different.

When boarding the ship, he saw several disciples of the Taixuan Sect landing on the deck, led by a middle-aged monk with a somewhat profound aura.

Such behavior made Lu Changsheng's heart skip a beat, and he guessed that it was definitely not a good thing.

Otherwise, it is impossible for people from Taixuan Sect to come uninvited and they will definitely say hello.

Sure enough, in the evening, several people from Taixuan Sect flew away and disappeared into a few streaks of light in the sky.

Liu Yun walked up to Lu Changsheng, shook his head and said, "This is a ship inspection. It is said that some monsters who are good at camouflaging escaped from Zibing Lake, and they are probably now mixed in with the crowd."

"A monster can still disguise itself?" Lu Changsheng asked in surprise.

"Natural, but this kind of monster is generally quite unique and not very common."

Liu Yun suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, if fellow Taoists encounter this kind of monster, don't show it even if you see the clues, because the cultivation level of this kind of monster is generally not bad, at least it is at the foundation building level. ." (End of chapter)
