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

Lu Changsheng stood in the crowd, drinking spiritual tea and chatting with several familiar Taoist friends.

After becoming a second-class alchemy master, some monks who had a relatively good relationship with Lin Yan tested it out a few times. Seeing that Lu Changsheng's attitude was calm, they knew that Lu Changsheng did not take it to heart about Lin Yan's neglect by them a few years ago. .

He simply also started to contact Lu Changsheng.

After going back and forth, I became familiar with it a lot.

Of course, Lu Changsheng would not be so stupid as to push people away. In any case, these monks who were able to rank higher than others in Baiyun Cave Mansion were quite capable. Maybe he could do some business with them in the future.

Taixuanmen Zhang Qing's eyes were obscure and did not attract his attention.

"It's going to be hard in the future."

Huo Zun came over and sighed.

Lu Changsheng nodded along with the others.

"Without the real person, a lot of things from Baiyundong Mansion will be vomited out from now on."

Li Changmei's face turned pale.

Changmei's surname is Li, and her given name is Changmei. She chooses the weapon refining one of the four arts of cultivating immortals. Because she is often accompanied by the fire of weapon refining, her whole person looks very shiny and greasy, and her skin color is also copper-colored.

Of course, it may also be because he has practiced physical skills.

Master Baiyun is the backbone of Baiyun Cave Mansion and the only Master who builds the foundation. With the death of Master Baiyun, it is almost impossible for all the monks in Baiyun Cave Mansion to keep their current resources.

"No way, let's see what the elders think first."

Although they are considered high-level officials of Baiyundong Mansion, they are not considered core high-level officials. Other elders still decide matters.

After Zhang Qing of Taixuan Sect said some irrelevant words, he took the two brothers Cheng Nan and Cheng Wu away with their swords.

The only useful information is that Taixuan Sect is grateful for the contribution of Master Baiyun and will provide protection for the foundation of Baiyun Cave.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng sighed.

At first glance, it sounds like Taixuanmen is committed to benevolence and justice, but Zhang Qing's promise has many possibilities for flexibility.

The first is identity.

Zhang Qing is only a Foundation Establishment monk in Taixuanmen and cannot represent the entire Taixuanmen. As long as Taixuanmen is willing, there can be a hundred reasons to void this promise.

There is also the word foundation.

It can be big or small. In the absence of clarity, it can refer to the mountain gate, or it can refer to the many industries controlled by Baiyun Cave Mansion.

"Anyway, since Zhang Qing said this, it proves that Taixuan Sect does not want to do anything too extreme and leave a lot of gossip to the world. Even if it wants to swallow Baiyun Cave Mansion, it will boil a frog in warm water. s method."

Immortal sects in the spiritual world still have to show some respect, otherwise during the Pantao Banquet, those Jindan monks would probably make a few mocking remarks.

"Peach Banquet~" Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng was also looking forward to it. He didn't know if he could make it to the next Peach Banquet.

That was a major event in the realms.

The reason why countless monks flocked to it was because of face, and the most important point was that the flat peach in the flat peach banquet was a very extraordinary thing, and it was also the treasure that Lu Changsheng dreamed of to improve his innate spiritual roots.

Time passed little by little, and the person presiding over the matter was Kurotsuchi.

It is said that Master Kurotsuchi’s real name was not Kurotsuchi. Later, in order to express his admiration for Master Baiyun, he changed his name to Kurotsuchi. His real surname is ‘Zhen’.

His strength is at the ninth level of Qi training. Because of his extremely strong strength, some people call him a 'real person'.

But in the outside world, there is still a huge gap between his title of real person and Huanglong real person, and not many people recognize him.

However, on the other hand, we can also see how terrifying Zhen Heitu's strength is.

"The real person died at the poisonous hands of the mirage, but my Baiyun Cave Mansion cannot be reduced to a piece of loose sand. If anyone thinks that the real person can do whatever they want without his presence, they are totally wrong."

Zhen Heitu's expression was serious, and his words floated in the field.

Lu Changsheng's expression was slightly stunned.

At this moment, he noticed that the bodies of Huo Zun and others around him were tense for a moment.

"With this beginning, Baiyun Cave Mansion will be in trouble in the future."

It is really difficult!

Because, Lu Changsheng sensed the smell of fighting for power.

What does the monk want?
  Long live!

What is needed for immortality?
  resource!

As the master of Baiyun Cave Mansion, he has huge power over the resources. Baiyun Cave Mansion was created by Master Baiyun. Master Baiyun can allocate all the resources of Baiyun Cave Mansion himself, and then his subordinates.

The resources for each level of characters are basically fixed.

In the past, no one would have any unnecessary thoughts when a real person was around, but now, many people are moved.

Lu Changsheng can predict that there will be undercurrents surging inside Baiyun Cave Mansion in the future.

Zhen Heitu and several elders stood together, their expressions not very good. They expected that this would happen, so they did not say it directly, but tested it first. Unexpectedly, the result was worse than they imagined.

Moreover, these elders may not all be of the same mind.

Resources are attractive, after all, they are about longevity.

······
  In the evening, Lu Changsheng followed some alchemists to fly outside Baiyun Medicine Shop. Not long after returning to Yun'an Courtyard, he saw Huo Zun walking over.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think of today's events?"

Lu Changsheng led him inside. Huo Zun glanced around, dropped a soundproof spiritual array, and said.

"What do you think? Although I am a second-class alchemy master, my cultivation is still far behind. In this case, it is best not to get involved."

Lu Changsheng said.

This kind of thing involving high-level battles is very troublesome, and it may evolve into anything in the future.

Moreover, there are too many people. With his current strength, it is dangerous not only to intervene, but also to become cannon fodder.

Not worth it!

People like Huo Zun are not good people, as can be seen from their treatment of Lin Yan.

"That is the resource of the entire Baiyun Cave Mansion. Master Baiyun is also somewhat famous in the Guangnan Territory. Most of the resources he has accumulated over the past hundreds of years are in the Baiyun Mountains." Huo Zun persuaded.

Compared with the lineage of Lei Ding, their lineage was still lacking in strength. They looked down upon Lu Changsheng's fourth-level Qi training, but his alchemy strength was first-rate.

The most important point is that Lu Changsheng was the main victim of the Alchemist's assessment of Grade A potential.

This incident can be used to write an article about Lei Ding's lineage.

"I'm also very coveted, but Changsheng is self-aware and can eat as much food as he wants. Changsheng still doesn't get involved in this kind of thing. He just wants to live a peaceful life."

Faced with Lu Changsheng's 'sincere' words, Huo Zun could only leave helplessly.

Next, many people came to visit Lu Changsheng.

They all want him to take sides.

Lu Changsheng refused one by one.

There was even one person from Lei Ding's side, but everyone who came made Lu Changsheng a little speechless.

Because Lei Ding actually asked Manager Yang to inquire. Obviously, the people on Lei Ding’s side were not willing. Perhaps they had to do this because of someone or some reason, and then they couldn’t lose face.

Sure enough, after getting his answer, Manager Yang left with a sigh.

He turned around and went to a second-class Danyuan to report.

Baiyun Cave Mansion is experiencing a once-in-a-century change. If he wants to continue climbing up, he naturally has to find a side to take sides.

After Lu Changsheng rejected six or seven people in a row, no one came to him again.

There are many alchemists who protect themselves wisely. If Lu Changsheng hadn't been so famous, he wouldn't have attracted so much attention.

Lu Changsheng felt a little helpless about this, but he didn't take it to heart.

As long as he is still in Immortal City, there will be no fear for his life. Even if the fight within the family is fierce, he will not be attacked by an 'outsider' like him.

Not worth the candle!

At most, the resources of your own second-level alchemist will be restricted.

However, at least that will only happen when the situation between the two sides is clear. Before the situation is clear, anyone who dares to cut off the benefits they deserve is definitely an act of slandering the enemy.

"Now that I have passed the period of needing to protect myself with my name, I must be stable."

A second-level alchemy master is enough for him to maintain his current cultivation expenditure.

There is no need to grow branches.

······
  The news of Baiyun Zhenren's death could not be kept secret for long, and it spread around a few days later, making the entire Baijing Immortal City excited, and many monks were discussing it privately.

Taixuanmen did not dare to arrange it, so they could only turn to Baiyun Cave itself.

In fact, it didn't take long for some news about the discord among people in Baiyun Cave Mansion to spread.

Fortunately, the Gu family is the only one in the clan who still has foundation-building monks.

As an affiliated force of Taixuanmen, it is naturally impossible to intervene easily without the permission of Taixuanmen.

A month later, some news came out about Lu Changsheng’s ‘Grade A evaluation dispute’ during the entrance examination.

Lu Changsheng knew without even thinking that he was pulled out by a certain party to be a forward.

Moreover, it is basically certain that it is Huo Zun and the others.

The reason why he is not completely sure is because of his cautious and suspicious temperament, and he speculates that there may be a third or fourth party fishing in troubled waters during this period.

It might be the Gu family, or it might be some of the top qi training families in Baijing Fairy City.

"Fortunately, I didn't join a certain camp, otherwise I would have been pushed out at this time."

Anyway, as long as I don't stand up, the original incident will still be very controversial.

Sure enough, the next day, someone jumped out to refute this statement.

This person has a good status. He is the core senior executive of Baiyundong Mansion. In terms of qualifications and strength, he is the first echelon and is not inferior to Zhen Heitu.

It's just that he didn't show up in front of Baiyun Palace last time. Now it seems that he was to solve this kind of thing.

Lu Changsheng did not think that this person was standing for justice, but for Lei Ding and others. The purpose was naturally to pave the way for Zhou Lin.

The reason why he is so sure is precisely because he is the elder Liu Jiu who personally took Zhou Lin into his family.

It can be said that he is half of Zhou Lin's master.

"They are all human beings who have a long-term view."

Lu Changsheng sighed with emotion.

Sure enough, after Liu Jiu came forward, the discussion outside suddenly became much quieter.

In response, Lu Changsheng smiled and relaxed a lot.

As long as they don't involve themselves, they can fight however they want.

Every day, he immerses himself in cultivation, and if he receives a task, he will also refine it.

There are so many alchemists in Baiyundong Mansion, and there are still many tasks for a while.

······
  In the blink of an eye, more than seven years have passed.

The training room is filled with some discarded puppet beast materials, including animal heads, human heads, limbs, bodies, etc.

Fang Yuan's puppetry technique can reach the highest level, which naturally has its own uniqueness.

At the beginning, you can refine some very simple puppet beasts, with as many as twelve types. Their strength is that of an ordinary warrior, barely able to reach the first level of Qi training.

Lu Changsheng refined one for Lu Changan. It was humanoid and almost similar to a monk. Of course, the appearance could not be guaranteed.

The core of puppetry lies in the internal structure, and the outside cannot be called exquisite or lifelike.

Therefore, under Lu Ziyou's suggestion, Lu Changan got a first-grade robe for the puppet beast to cover its appearance and look like a servant.

In this way, when following Lu Changan in and out, he can play a somewhat protective role.

It's not that it's impossible to refine higher-level puppet beasts, it's mainly because Lu Changan is not strong enough. With sufficient resources, he can only reach the level of a martial saint at the pinnacle of martial arts.

At most, it can only control a low-grade puppet beast.

No matter how advanced it is, it will feel like a child holding a knife, and it will be difficult to exert its due fighting power.

In comparison, Lu Ziyou was a little smoother and had now reached the second level of Qi training.

In contrast, Lu Changsheng discovered that he really not only had poor quality Immortal Dao root bones, but also had golden fingers that helped him shorten his training time. Otherwise, with Lu Ziyou's low-level spiritual root talent, after so many years, In the past, not only could I catch up with myself, I had to be almost the same.

"The time shown on my golden finger should be far shorter than the time required by my own talent."

Thinking about it this way, it is true.

Because, normally speaking, with low-quality Immortal Dao Root Bones, it may take decades to practice Qi from the first level to the second level.

even longer.

As for myself, putting aside the variables of various elixir blessings, it only takes a few decades to advance to the next level.

"In other words, in the future, when my talent reaches the first level, I will have an advantage over those native first-level geniuses in the spiritual world." Lu Changsheng was filled with joy.

kaka~
  As the last rune was outlined, the puppet on the table suddenly lit up with a ball of light, and then a layer of faint brilliance covered it.

The runes were like veins on the tibia, exuding a spiritual light. Then, the puppet beast lying on it suddenly moved and returned to silence.

It seemed as if all its energy had been consumed in that moment.

In fact, this is also true. Lu Changsheng did not outline the most core energy rune veins on this puppet beast.

Therefore, the puppet beast cannot support its operation. This is not because he wants to cut corners, but if he outlines that part, the cost will be at least nearly two-fifths more.

If every puppet beast was made like this, the resources on hand would not be enough to support it.

After all, this puppet beast already belongs to the first-level intermediate level, and its complete physical strength can reach the sixth level of Qi training.

A wave of enlightenment came to Lu Changsheng's mind. At this moment, he felt that many related contents of the puppet technique became clear.

"Finally promoted."

It took nearly ten years to finally improve the puppetry technique to a great level. (End of chapter)
