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

But the journey is long and requires passing through many sparsely populated areas, and the dangers involved are indescribable.

Even people like Fang Yuan and others who are in the late stage of Qi training still need to travel together to have some confidence to travel long distances.

This is also the reason why Lu Changsheng did not think of going to Taiyuan Territory to seek the method of condensing spiritual bodies.

The journey is really hard.

It's okay if you don't have a way out, but you don't need to do this if you have a way out.

"Forget it, the cultivation level of Changsheng is not high after all, and the journey is too long."

Lu Changsheng refused directly.

Fang Yuan and others seemed to have expected it, and they only tried to persuade him a little politely, but then stopped trying to persuade him.

Lu Changsheng didn't wait for them to speak before he said, "I still have some pills here that I can sell to you at a price lower than the market price."

He didn't hide his clumsiness and took out some of the best elixirs he had refined over the years.

Several people were immediately surprised when they saw that there was actually a pill like Soul Gathering Pill among them.

You must know that this type of elixir is very rare. Not only is it difficult to collect the materials, it is also not easy to find an alchemist to refine it.

"Thank you so much for this time, fellow Taoist." Fang Yuan said in a solemn voice.

Taiyuan Territory is very unfamiliar to them, and they decided to go to Taiyuan Territory because they had felt the oppression of Shouyuan and had no choice but to do so.

The group had a meal at Lu Mansion, and Lu Changsheng and Li Guanggu sent them out.

Today's five family heads have given birth to two late-stage Qi practitioners, so they dare to leave Baijing Immortal City and go to Taiyuan Territory.

Seeing their disappearing figures, Lu Changsheng called Lu Changan and others and told them to keep a low profile recently.

The existence of Fang Yuan and others can be regarded as the backer of his Lu family. Now that Fang Yuan and others are far away, their deterrence has been greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng has always had a good attitude towards others, and has never had any bad relations with other forces except the Zhu family before.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Changsheng returned to the previous days. As the time got closer, his mind became more focused.

In more than ten years, he can raise his Immortal Dao roots to a higher level. At that time, it may be an opportunity for him to enter the later stage of Qi training.

"Friend Lu Dao."

"Fellow Daoist Huo! Fellow Daoist Li!"

On the second day of the new year, Huo Zun and Li Changmei came to visit.

The friendship between the three of them has deepened over the past few years, and they will of course come over to visit them at the end of the year.

Sitting in the yard, the three of them chatted about the auction in Liuyun Immortal City. Usually around the end of the year, Liuyun Immortal City would hold an auction.

There are also various gatherings.

Huo Zun and Li Changmei wanted to invite Lu Changsheng to go with them.

Lu Changsheng did not give an accurate answer. After waiting for so long, he knew very well how scarce the resources of Baijing Immortal City and the surrounding fairy cities were.

But there’s no telling if you’ll have exactly what you want.

There was some hesitation in my heart.

Finally, I thought that I was too weak, so it would be better not to leave Baijing Fairy City for the time being, so I politely declined the matter.

Huo Zun and Li Changmei didn't mind either. They knew Lu Changsheng's temperament and didn't like to go out and wander around.

"It's okay if you don't go out. It's not peaceful outside recently. The Wang family has been looking for the whereabouts of Taoist Hongyun."

"That Taoist Hongyun is really powerful. He was able to hide for such a long time even when the Wang family's foundation-building ancestor was chasing him."

Huo Zun sighed.

Some time ago, when Taoist Hongyun appeared in Baijing Immortal City, it caused panic among many people.

Some qi-training families even temporarily abandoned their outside industries, leaving only a few soldiers and generals to guard them.

In this way, even if you encounter Taoist Hongyun, you won't suffer too much loss.

Lu Changsheng was moved in his heart and asked, "Why did Hongyun Taoist run to Baijing Immortal City instead of elsewhere?"

It is said that when Taoist Hongyun was discovered, he was not actually around Baijing Fairy City, but farther east.

Logically speaking, that's where to run. Some areas to the east are more remote, and they are also far away from the immortal sect forces such as Taixuan Sect.

"Fellow Taoist, don't you know this? The reason why Taoist Hongyun ran here is precisely because of the death of the real person before."

Huo Zun said.

"After the death of the real person, none of the foundation-building monks in the surrounding area can feel at ease. Hongyun Taoist running here will also make Taixuan Sect and Wang family worry about each other."

"That's what Fellow Daoist Huo said."

Although Lu Changsheng felt something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't explain why, so he could only say this.

"No matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with us." Li Changmei stroked his beard and said, "Changsheng, you need to pay attention. Recently, your contribution ranking has pushed Fan Shou and others behind so much. I'm afraid they will be jealous. maybe."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li, for reminding me."

Lu Changsheng recalled that he felt anxious when meeting Fan Shou and the others during this period, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.

"Why do they care so much about a contribution ranking?"

Asked Huo Zun and the two of them, they both said they didn't know.

"How about asking fellow Taoist Elder Xiao Feng? With his status and strength, he probably knows the key."

"Let's talk about it later," Lu Changsheng said.

After the two left, he stood in the yard for a while, his eyes gradually becoming determined.

Since Xiao Feng didn't tell him, it would be useless to go to him now. It would be better to just see if there would be any changes if he keeps doing it.

"Fan Shou, Luo Ji, and Mou Ran, including their alchemy talents, are also outstanding people in Baijing Immortal City. They actually changed their normal behavior in order to compete for the contribution ranking. This proves that there must be a hidden secret, and it is still positive."

Lu Changsheng didn't like to stir up trouble, but he knew that sometimes he had to fight.

If he had not fought, he would not have been able to grow from a poor country man to a giant in Heishan Prefecture.

If he didn't fight, he might still be suffering in the ordinary world. Even if he had a golden finger, the end he could see would only be the level of Qi training.

But now, he still has about half of his lifespan, and he is already planning to become a second-grade alchemist and foundation-building level. This is the effect of fighting.

Keep a low profile when you should, and fight when you should.

In Lu Changsheng's view, it is nothing more than a matter of pros and cons, and adults pay attention to pros and cons.

"But I still have to go find Xiao Feng. If I can get the specific reason from Qi's words, it would be good to have a goal."

Lu Changsheng suddenly made a decision in his heart and put aside his previous thoughts.

At night, the lights of Baiyun Pavilion are bright, and the luminous pearls and jade reflect each other, making the entire Baiyun Pavilion very bright.

There is no shortage of bright lights in the world, let alone immortals.

Lu Changsheng walked on the corridor, occasionally nodding to some members of the Baiyun Pavilion who were passing by. Not long after, he arrived in front of the door where Xiao Feng lived.

Knocking on the courtyard door, the person who opened the door was not an immortal servant, nor Xiao Feng himself, but a woman.

"I've met Mrs. Xiao."

Lu Changsheng said hello.

In the few years he has been in Baiyun Pavilion, it is impossible that he has not met Xiao Feng's Taoist companions.

"You're welcome." Liu Yunxi's gaze paused on Lu Changsheng for a moment, and she was somewhat curious about this person who had caused her husband to struggle many times.

The two communicated for a while, and knowing that Xiao Feng was retreating, Lu Changsheng stood up and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng came out of retreat and met him. Liu Yunxi turned around and left, while Xiao Feng and Lu Changsheng sat on chairs and talked.

After learning the purpose of Lu Changsheng's coming, Xiao Feng showed a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Let me think about this."

Xiao Feng picked up a cup of spiritual tea and put it to his mouth for a sip.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Changsheng felt more confident. After saying some irrelevant words, he stood up and left.

As soon as the others left, Liu Yunxi walked in immediately, holding a pot of tea in his hand. He looked at the spiritual tea in front of Lu Changsheng's seat. It was still a bit hot, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"What do you think, husband?" Liu Yunxi asked.

The troubled look on Xiao Feng's face was not hidden in front of Liu Yunxi, and he said: "Lu Changsheng's Alchemy cultivation is indeed good, but what they said is right. There is only one token left behind by the death of the real person. If he can't compete with the one in the Baiyun Mountains by then, Bian, everything we did was in vain.”

Liu Yunxi stepped forward to massage the acupuncture points on both sides of him, and said softly: "Then why is my husband still entangled in this matter? Since my husband is not at ease, just don't let him compete with Fan Shou and the others."

Xiao Feng sighed deeply.

"Although Lu Changsheng is not suitable, compared to the other three, he has a slight chance."

Liu Yunxi also frowned.

She understood Xiao Feng's concerns and didn't want Lu Changsheng to get the final spot, but Lu Changsheng was the only one who could possibly get the final spot from the Baiyun Mountains.

It's really hard to decide.

"Also, Elder Li and the others are also a little dissatisfied with Alchemist Lu being on the contribution list."

Xiao Feng sighed.

"Since other elders also have this concern, why not just let it go?" A trace of tenderness appeared on Liu Yunxi's face.

She knew that Xiao Feng didn't like fighting, and it was all because of her that he became like this. Otherwise, he might still be in the Baiyun Mountains refining elixirs with peace of mind.

Liu Yunxi's words obviously held a heavy weight in Xiao Feng's heart, and he nodded subconsciously.

But deep down there is a trace of unwillingness.

······

"Xiao Feng still seems a little unsure of me."

After leaving the courtyard where Xiao Feng lived, Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

The fleeting hesitation on the other person's face was not hidden from his eyes.

This is due to the increase in spiritual consciousness caused by the Qingyuan Immortal Technique and the Puppet Technique, making his five senses sharper than those of ordinary monks in the late stages of Qi training.

"In this case, I will add more fire."

With a sharp look in his eyes, he thought of some of Xiao Feng's attitudes towards him in the past, and vaguely guessed something, so he planned to work harder.

"Maybe this is my chance to enter the later stage of Qi training."

Returning to the courtyard, Lu Changsheng used the sound-transmitting snail to chat with Pumpkin for a while.

Then he began to concentrate on refining the elixir.

It was about his own opportunity, so he did not dare to be careless and decided to go all out, even stopping the practice of swallowing pills every day.

Focus on refining elixirs.

As long as there is an alchemy task of a higher level or above, he will definitely receive it as soon as possible, and then complete the task in a very short time.

Soon, this matter attracted the attention of Fan Shou and others.

After all, when Baiyun Pavilion was founded, many forces were concerned about the original Baiyun Mountains and would wait and see for the time being, not daring to let them help with elixir making.

As time passed and there was no obvious conflict between the two parties, people began to contact Baiyun Pavilion.

However, there are not many high-level alchemy tasks. Most of them are made by Baiyun Pavilion itself and then handed over to its own alchemy shop for sale.

However, due to limited materials, the monthly alchemy quota remains roughly the same. Whoever gets more will get less for others.

And if it was as Lu Changsheng expected, only in the second month, his contribution was listed separately.

Not appearing on the contribution list with Fan Shou and others.

Lu Changsheng didn't care either, this move was within his expectation.

Now he is no longer a low-level qi-training monk, but a head of a family with late-stage qi-training combat power. Moreover, the Taoist monk is still in the late-stage qi-training stage, and he is associated with several senior late-stage qi-training family heads.

As long as the elders behind Fan Shou and the others did not lose their minds, it would be impossible to use drastic means to deal with him.

However, this move can hide the people below, but not the people above.

Lu Changsheng didn't care what the people below him thought, and they were not the ones who could influence this matter.

He continued to immerse himself in alchemy. Under such high-intensity alchemy, he had a faint tendency to fuse the tortoise shell diagram of Xuangui Alchemist and the jade book of alchemy of Master Baiyun.

A few months later, when he was refining a furnace of elixirs, he actually condensed an extremely beautiful spirit pattern elixir.

"This elixir actually feels like it's in line with nature!"

Lu Changsheng, who smelled of smoke and dust, put a pill in front of him and looked at it carefully.

This pill is just a Guiyuan Pill.

During this period, he refined not only 10 but also 8 furnaces.

The main reason is that the materials are not in supply, otherwise, it will be possible to refine it several times.

Habit is second nature.

I wanted to take the elixir directly out of the alchemy furnace and put it into the treasure house of fairy insects. Unexpectedly, after opening the alchemy furnace, I found that there was only one completed elixir in the furnace.

You know, with his current attainments in alchemy, he has never been able to refine less than four elixirs.

After another look, I discovered the clues to this elixir.

The spiritual patterns on the elixir are exquisite and natural, as if they were created by nature.

The colors are also a bit brighter.

"This elixir looks a bit extraordinary."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself that this was the first time he encountered this kind of situation. He paid more attention to it, but he didn't find anything wrong.

But I found that the power of this elixir is more pure.

"This elixir can be stored in the warehouse."

Lu Changsheng has bright eyes.

He didn't know the specific effect of this elixir, but he had a glimpse of it. Now he was considered a senior alchemist. Of course, he couldn't treat it as an ordinary spirit pattern elixir.

"However, to be on the safe side, we need to try again to see if we can capture that inspiration."

When Lu Changsheng was refining this furnace of elixir just now, he felt a sudden enlightenment, and he had a new understanding of the control of flames and various details.

Therefore, cherish this epiphany, capture the inspiration, and use it for your own use.

A few days later, in the alchemy room, Lu Changsheng looked at an abnormal elixir that was born again in the furnace, and a smile appeared on Lu Changsheng's tired face.

"This elixir has a natural charm of Taoism, so let's call it Tao elixir!"

He whispered, put one into the treasure house fairy insect, and the other into the jade bottle, and sent it to the warehouse.

After a while, he came to the warehouse.

"Did Master Lu have to hand in a mission?" Seeing Lu Changsheng, the steward showed respect on his face. (End of chapter)
