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

After returning to his house, Lu Changsheng waited with peace of mind.

However, in the early morning of the next day, Wan Yu and Qu Feng hurried over and begged him to go to Qu's house.

Lu Changsheng asked what was going on.

The sadness on Wan Yu's face could no longer be suppressed, and he said: "It is the ancestor Qu Sheng of the clan who has passed away."

Lu Changsheng sighed immediately.

Now Qu Guang is in Taixuan Immortal City, and because he just took the barrier-breaking pill, he will definitely not be able to come back for a while.

After taking the barrier-breaking pill in a grand place, it will probably be taken in Taixuan Immortal City. It is necessary to have a late-stage Qi training monk to protect the way.

There was no one in the Qu family who was in the late stages of Qi training, so he immediately thought of Lu Changsheng.

"I'll go with you."

Lu Changsheng said.

The Qu family is in the fairy city and their safety is guaranteed.

Lu Changsheng followed the two of them to Qu's house.

Qu Sheng had just passed away. As an outsider, he could not enter the mourning hall, so he could only be arranged in another hospital.

Not long after, Qu Guang, who was far away in Taixuan Immortal City, got the news and expressed his gratitude to Lu Changsheng through the sound transmission snail.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Qu. No one in Baijing Immortal City would turn their backs on the Qu family. That would be a slap in the face of the Gu family and Taixuan Sect."

Lu Changsheng said.

"Despite this, having fellow Taoist here can still make the people below feel more at ease. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Using the sound-transmitting snail is still very resource-intensive. Qu Guang didn't say much, he still wanted to protect Qu Nian.

Next, arrange for a wake.

A few days later, Qu Feng made arrangements, and after Lu Changsheng received the news, he went to pay homage.

The corpses of cultivators are very particular about how they are buried. Generally speaking, they are cremated and then placed in the ancestral land.

This is a relatively common burial.

At first, the body was buried directly, but later, with the rise of some monks specializing in evil arts in the spiritual world, this method was abandoned.

No one wants their ancestor’s corpse to become a tool for evil cultivators.

Of course, some large immortal sects don’t have these worries.

The Immortal Sect is guarded by Da Xiu all year round, and it is impossible for ordinary Xiao Xiao to touch them.

Looking at Qu Sheng's frozen pale face, Lu Changsheng sighed slightly in his heart. If he failed to build a foundation, he would end up just like an ordinary person.

After worshiping, Lu Changsheng returned to his residence, thought for a while, and called Lu Changan.

"During this period, the surrounding area of ​​Baijing Fairy City is relatively chaotic. Please don't leave Fairy City for the time being."

Lu Changan showed a trace of confusion. After returning from Fuyun Mountain, he often visited various forces.

There are many large and small forces in Baijing Immortal City and its surroundings, and it is necessary to screen out some connections that are beneficial to the Lu family.

But I didn't see any difference between the situation and usual, and it was even calmer than usual.

In the past, there were a lot of people in the surrounding areas. Many people came from other areas to destroy the monsters. There were many disputes between the monks. Even the Taixuan Sect disciples also died.

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said: "Tai Xuan Sect originally wanted to clean up the forces in various immortal cities, especially those like Baiyundong Mansion and the Wang Family in Liuyun Immortal City. This time, the forces of each family have been seriously damaged. I am afraid that some weak ones will be broken. balance."

Lu Changsheng of Taixuan Sect did not dare to speculate too much, but there would definitely be some turmoil in many families below.

When the bidding is over and the ancestors of many forces have their hands free, it is likely that they will not be as peaceful as they are now.

'I understand, father. ’

Lu Changan's IQ is not low, and he knows everything. He turned around and went back to remind his subordinates that they should pay more attention in the recent period and never offend others at will.

He and Lin Yin, one in charge and the other in charge of the outside, kept the Lu Mansion in order, making both Lu Changan and Li Guanquan very satisfied.

After arranging everything, Lu Changsheng returned to the mountain gate.

Looking at the light curtain panel, I began to think about the future path of spiritual practice.

"The puppet technique cannot be lost. This is my strongest means to face the high-level Qi training realm."

"The next step is mainly to practice the puppet technique, and to refine the barrier-breaking pill and the rejuvenation pill. It won't take long for the rejuvenation pill to reach the state of great success. When the time comes, with the assistance of the pill ascending method, the best pill can be refined. When the time comes, practice The speed can also be restored.”

"Then there's the puppet technique. This technique is the real way to protect the way. You can't lag too far behind."

After mastering the puppet technique, you can refine several kinds of puppets that are comparable to those in the later stage of Qi training. They are absolutely indispensable in the current power vacuum period.

Sure enough, as Lu Changsheng expected, with the end of the auction in Taixuan Immortal City, the fights around Baijing Immortal City became obviously more frequent.

There are many more than before the demon disaster started.

Especially the Qu family, after the death of Qu Sheng, there was a serious lack of strength. Some forces that were weaker than the Qu family began to tentatively provoke the Qu family.

"The Zhu family and the Qu family already have a feud, so they will definitely take action this time."

Lu Changsheng's eyes flashed with a dangerous look.

The last time he went to the Zhu family to pick up someone, and the last time the ship was robbed, Lu Changsheng thought of the Zhu family.

That time on the ship, the most direct target of suspicion was the Zhuo family.

The Zhuo family is also a family in Baijing Fairy City, but it is not prosperous, and its overall strength is inferior to that of the Huang family, Chen family, etc.

Only the ancestors of the Zhuo family can barely compare with several ancestors.

As for the ancestor of the Zhuo family, it was said that he had some friendship with the old patriarch of the Zhu family, so Lu Changsheng suspected the Zhu family.

Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, not to mention that Lu Changsheng is not a rabbit.

He patted the alchemy furnace gently and said to himself: "We still need to think about it in the long term."

If it doesn't move, that's it. If it moves, it will be swept away by thunder, preventing it from having any ability to fight back.

A few days later, Lu Changsheng finally arrived at Fang Yuan.

"Master Lu, fortunately you have fulfilled your mission."

Fang Yuan stood on the head of a puppet beast. The puppet beast was more than a foot tall, shaped like a tiger, and lifelike.

Lu Changsheng, who had a deep understanding of puppetry, immediately recognized the puppet beast.

Named 'Puppet Tiger', his strength is comparable to that of physical training in the late stages of Qi training.

Lu Changsheng was slightly shocked. He had never seen Fang Yuan use this puppet beast before. Thinking about it, even if this thing was not his trump card, it was still one of his powerful means.

"This Puppet Tiger is very powerful, but its reactions are a little clumsy." Seeing that Lu Changsheng's eyes did not move away from the Puppet Tiger for a while, Fang Yuan smiled, jumped off the Puppet Tiger, and then disassembled it. It was broken into more than a dozen scattered parts and included in the treasure house of fairy insects.

Otherwise, if you want to completely store a puppet tiger that is more than one foot tall, you will need a treasure trove of fairy insects that are very valuable.

As a puppet master who has reached great success in cultivation, more than ten parts can be assembled together in just over ten breaths.

Lu Changsheng reluctantly took his eyes away from the treasure house of fairy insects, and gained an in-depth understanding of Fang Yuan, a senior puppet master.

At this time, he found some tiny blood stains on Fang Yuan's body. After asking, he learned that he had been intercepted and killed on the way. "Fortunately, I was cautious enough and left before the auction ended."

Lu Changsheng secretly warned himself that he might as well not go to auctions like this that couldn't be disguised in the future.

Even a barrier-breaking elixir recipe makes a monk like Fang Yuan encounter various ambushes. If a fourth-level Qi practitioner like him takes a picture of such a valuable item, he probably won't dare to leave the fairy city for decades.

······
After getting the high-quality barrier-breaking elixir formula, Lu Changsheng returned to Baiyun Cave Mansion and concentrated on studying the elixir formula.

Time passed day by day, and soon, another half year passed.

His magic power was restored to the level before it was transformed into Qingyuan Immortal Magic through the water-mill-like practice.

He was deeply touched by the difficulty of improving his cultivation.

Apart from this, there has not been much progress in several of the more important techniques.

The Rejuvenation Pill is already a small success, and it will take some time to reach the next level just by relying on his current Dan Dao cultivation.

This is due to his excellent alchemy talent.

If one's alchemy talent is similar to that of immortality, then the time to achieve great success is estimated to be several times longer.

The same is true for puppetry. Even though Fang Yuan, the 'teacher', often teaches and has experience, it still takes some time to get through.

In terms of the practice of magic, his talent is pretty good, but it still can't compare with his talent in alchemy.

However, the distance to Xiaocheng is also fast.

Finally, there is the practice of the Barrier-Breaking Pill. This pill recipe is indeed very complicated, much more complicated than all the pill recipes he has seen. In addition, the materials for refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill are difficult to find. Therefore, Lu Changsheng can accumulate Not much experience.

Half a year has passed, and I'm still not even close to getting started.

Lu Changsheng received news from Fang Yuan early in the morning and had a gathering at Lu Mansion in the evening.

There have been several small gatherings before, either at Qingfeng Tower or at the Qu family. This time Fang Yuan automatically said it was at the Lu Mansion, which surprised Lu Changsheng.

He knew that several ancestors had a very good attitude towards him, but considering the identity and strength of their ancestors, who were in the late stage of Qi training, they still maintained a certain degree of arrogance.

The reason why I chose to gather in Lu Mansion now was probably because I got the barrier-breaking elixir recipe.

Another point is that foreign enemies put pressure on them.

In the past six months, there have been frequent disputes between various forces, which has put a lot of pressure on the pills they have in stock.

Soon, it will be night.

Several people were seated.

After some small talk, we went straight to the topic.

I just wanted to order a batch of elixirs from Lu Changsheng.

"Master Lu is probably trying to refine the barrier-breaking pill now. We can exchange some of the barrier-breaking pill materials for a batch of pills."

Several companies have accumulated some experience in Baijing Fairy City for many years.

Lu Changsheng took it easy and glanced at Fang Yuan inadvertently. The latter looked at Fang Yuan's eyes, nose and heart, as if he had nothing to do with it. He estimated that he was the one who pulled the strings in this transaction.

Sure enough, after everyone left, Fang Yuan said: "There are few barrier-breaking pill materials on the market that are circulated. They are all used by immortal sects. Only those families or scattered cultivators with good strength may have some leftovers."

"I'll look for more for you and gather as much as possible."

"I have a hunch that within a few years, there will be big changes. By then, the market for elixirs is expected to see a surge."

Fang Yuan had to let Lu Changsheng know about the connection, otherwise the favor would not be gained.

"Where did you get this premonition?" Lu Changsheng asked with his heart moving.

He wanted to see if there was any discrepancy between Fang Yuan's guess and his own.

Fang Yuandao: "Tai Xuan Sect has more or less ideas about the various Immortal City forces in the area under its jurisdiction. This is not a secret matter. The reason why it has not taken action is because of concerns."

"Taixuanmen is overwhelming against any foundation-building force, but there are several immortal cities within its jurisdiction, and there are more than a dozen foundation-building forces. Overall, the foundation-building monks are not in Taixuanmen at all. under."

"Tai Xuan Sect is worried that the destruction of one of the foundation-building forces will cause other forces to join forces, so they tolerate the existence of various forces until now."

"But judging from various recent actions, perhaps this balance is about to be broken."

"Previously, I suddenly remembered that the ten Foundation Building Pills at the auction were considered a huge hemorrhage for the Taixuan Sect. At first, I thought it was due to the demon disaster, but now it seems that it is probably more than that."

Lu Changsheng nodded secretly. He had also heard about the turmoil caused by the ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

In the past two months, a battle at the foundation level broke out outside Taixuanxian City.

Although every foundation-building monk has made a deep camouflage, the foundation-building battle is very dangerous and will fall if you are not careful. Therefore, not long after the war begins, some personal combat characteristics cannot be hidden anymore.

There are only so many foundation-building monks in Guangnan Territory, and the chance of exposing chicken feet is really high.

"That battle was really a big melee. I heard that some of the foundation-building monks suffered irreversible injuries."

Irreversible injuries cannot be repaired by anything below the foundation level. Life can only be sustained by special things like the Life Extension Pill.

For example, Qu Sheng, who died, suffered this kind of trauma.

According to the habits of many accomplished monks, at the level of Foundation Establishment, there are not many life-extending pills that have not been taken.

Therefore, those who have suffered irreversible injuries in the foundation-building realm can basically be said to have fallen.

Lu Changsheng's expression also became serious.

"Is this reliable?"

He couldn't help but be cautious. There was no guarantee that a foundation-building monk who was about to die would do something.

This kind of monk is more terrifying than the evil cultivator.

"I don't know. No one dares to approach easily during the foundation building battle."

Fang Yuan didn't know much, which made Lu Changsheng a pity.

On the occasion of parting, Fang Yuan mentioned something that seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Changsheng.

"There is news that Baiyun Cave Mansion also bought a Foundation Establishment Pill during the auction that day."

Lu Changsheng's eyelids twitched slightly.

Before, he wouldn't have thought much about it, but under the current situation, the power to get the Foundation Establishment Pill would probably attract a lot of people's attention.

It may be those who are about to die in the foundation building realm, or it may be Taixuan Sect.

"It shouldn't be a big deal. Master Baiyun is not an ordinary foundation-building monk. He is somewhat famous in the Guangnan Region."

"Moreover, he is also a second-grade alchemist and quasi-second-grade spiritual formation master. His connections at the foundation level are much stronger than many monks of the same level."

Fang Yuan smiled and signaled to Lu Changsheng to reassure him.

Lu Changsheng nodded, "Fellow Daoist Fang is right."

But still be careful.

Lu Changsheng thought.

He has never been a person who puts his wealth and life on others.

After being separated from Fang Yuan, Lu Changsheng became more concerned about the Battle of Foundation Establishment. He urgently wanted to know who was injured. If he couldn't find out the specific results, he also wanted to know as much as possible about the situation that day. (End of chapter)
