I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

"Hehe! Master Xu doesn't sell the 'Wanhua Chamber of Commerce' account, but asks for a third-order spiritual vein. If he dares to enter the manor alone, his cultivation may be more than a fake pill."

Duan Lao's realm was higher, his spiritual sense swept over him, and he saw Lu Chang'an's true cultivation, with an unfathomable smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Naturally, he didn't know that it was the grandfather who released the water for the eldest grandson, and he didn't try his best to hide it.

Even if he is the grandson of the fourth generation, Lu Changan still has a little bit of precaution.

Show off your higher strength and avoid the opponent's dissatisfaction.

Of course, this possibility is not high.

Lu Chang'an is a recent hotspot in the Heyuan Oasis. The oasis is several hundred miles away, and the traces of the outside world can be seen when visiting the dojo mansion within it.

"Master Duan's mana is powerful, and Xu's hidden tricks are ridiculous."

Lu Changan's complexion changed slightly, and he tried to remain calm, as if he was afraid of this unfathomable alchemy expert.

"Master Xu doesn't need to be cramped. It's better if you have a real alchemy. With a third-order formation, it's no problem to guard the Shanshui Manor."

Duan Lao had a gentle smile and everything was under control.

In addition to him, there is also the secret supervision of Grandma, which is enough to control Master Xu.

The land spirit veins on the island are also notarized, and the other party will not be relied upon.

In the past, when he was away, he went to take care of the other two branches. Granny Yun, who was a third-order array mage, was in charge of taking care of and cultivating this third-order spiritual vein.

Granny Yun was limited by her aptitude and potential, plus she escaped in the past and was seriously injured by a sect traitor, her foundation was seriously injured, and she could not improve her cultivation.

The same is true for Duan Lao.

It's just that they maintain their cultivation and don't regress, and the two don't rely on the third-order spiritual veins.

After half an hour.

Lu Chang'an and Mr. Duan finalized a lot of details, and finally signed a third-order spiritual contract.

The constraints of the spiritual contract are relatively loose.

Lu Changan's annual task is to refine a certain amount of entrusted alchemy and help take care of Shanshui Manor.

There are three alchemy apprentices every ten years.

The contract initially agreed for 30 years, and Lu Changan could break the contract, but he had to pay the living expenses, which was calculated as twice the market price.

In addition, there is a supplement in the spirit deed:

Shanshui Manor can last for at least 10 to 20 years, at most several decades, and it may be leased to other people to form alchemy. I hope that Lu Chang'an will cooperate.

Lu Changan had no objection to this.

He once simulated the reincarnation of the fourth life, and speculated that the spiritual pulse dojo cultivated here is one of the candidates for the descendants of Master Lihuo to start a family in the future.

For fear of being targeted, the descendants of the fourth generation did not dare to put their eggs in one basket in order to ensure the continuation of the bloodline.

Therefore, there are three branches of descendants distributed in Fengyuan Kingdom, basically not connected with each other.

Among them, the young and outstanding descendants, such as the Yun brothers and sisters, do not even know their own origins.

Duan Lao, as the grandson of Master Li Huo, is responsible for overall planning and only communicates with the leaders of the three branches.

Asylum in war, the descendants of the fourth generation are in a state of incomplete succession.

The third-order alchemist is faulty, and there are not enough real alchemy monks.

If you can bind a reliable third-tier alchemist, let him help alchemy, train apprentices, and at the same time assist in guarding this optional third-tier spiritual vein, it will be the best of both worlds.

...

On the same day, General Duan handed over the formation control order of Shanshui Manor to Lu Changan.

According to the agreement, Lu Changan was not allowed to change the formations outside the manor.

However, for the mansion building inside the manor, Lu Changan can set up formations by himself to protect privacy.

It doesn't matter to Lu Changan, the hidden formation he set up by himself is definitely stronger than the outer formation.

The taboo-breaking treasure talisman he mastered can easily break through the third-order formation.

A few days later, Lu Changan officially settled in Shanshui Manor.

Under the mansion, there is a ready-made basement, and there is also a pool and an artificial river in front of the pavilion.

Lu Chang'an asked the Rock Rat to dig the pool deeper and build a tunnel, which requires the key formula to open the restriction and lead to the basement.

The Xuanshui turtle can move around in the pool on weekdays, and can also go to the basement to take care of the Xuantian Gourd Vine that has reconnected to the earth.

"The small third-order dojo in Shanshui Manor is enough for Xuanshuigui and I to practice, and there is no need to invest additional spirit stones."

After Lu Changan moved in, he was satisfied.

Xuanshuigui's reliance on aura is only equivalent to the cultivation base of fake alchemy, and part of it absorbs Lu Changan's golden alchemy evergreen mana, absorbing the energy of time during cultivation.

A considerable part of the spells and abilities of monsters come from the power of blood.

Therefore, normal monsters are slightly less dependent on aura than human monks.

The mysterious water turtle is slightly lower than ordinary monsters.

As for the rock rats?

If you add it to the big monster in the middle stage of the third level, this small spiritual vein will be too much to bear.

Lu Changan decided to raise it in the wild for self-sufficiency.

In the boundless desert, the soil is rich in aura, and there are many ore spirits deep underground.

When rock rats enter here, the sea is wide and the sea is wide enough to hunt sand beasts, explore resources and treasures, and occasionally beat the autumn wind, so don't be too comfortable.

Lu Changan didn't ask too much, and he only took 20 to 30% of the precious spiritual objects obtained from the exploration and the gains from killing bandits.

In the Beast Familiar inheritance left by Master Yellow Wolf, there is this kind of wild breeding method, and the monsters grown are more feral and stronger in combat power.

The cost is also very low.

The disadvantage is that the risk is high, it is easy to die in stocking, and the probability of mutiny increases.

Risk, Lu Changan needn't worry.

He has analyzed: Heyuan Oasis does not have a third-order top-grade spiritual vein, so there is no permanent overhaul in the late stage of alchemy.

This means that the ground rock mouse dominates the surrounding areas, and practiced at will by rubbing the spiritual veins.

All sandworms, poisons, and strange animals are its meals.

As long as you make a fortune in a low-key manner and don't infringe on the interests of the major forces on the oasis, there will be no risk.

...

Months passed.

Lu Changan is in Shanshui Manor and has reached the age of 215.

In the past few months, I seldom saw the shadow of the ground rock mouse, and I couldn't think of leaving.

I went back home twice on the way, and gave Lu Changan some mineral spirits.

Even without a fixed third-order spiritual vein, the ground rock rat's cultivation speed was not behind at all, and even slightly faster.

Lu Changan guessed that this guy ate a lot, so he turned a blind eye.

For the Xuanshuigui, Lu Changan can't let it be too lazy or too comfortable.

The spiritual wood and herbs in the Shanshui Manor, as well as some cubs obtained from the real Huanglang, were handed over to it to take care of.

For those cub eggs, Lu Changan will sell them in small quantities on the oasis and for a long time.

Among them, the rarer varieties will be sold at the Xiancheng auction in the future.

The water and wood spells of the mysterious water turtle are suitable for these repetitive mechanical tasks.

This tortoise has a lazy temperament and does not compete with the world. It must be spurred by external force, otherwise it will lie flat.

On this day, Duan Lao returned to Shanshui Manor with three alchemy apprentices, two men and one woman.

The black turtle went back to the basement through the tunnel deep in the pool, avoiding detection.

"Master Xu, for the next ten years, I trouble you to teach the three juniors."

The three apprentices brought by Mr. Duan all had certain alchemy potential, and their talents were probably better than Lu Changan's.

"This is a matter of agreement."

Lu Changan agreed.

Instructing apprentices is not accepting them as personal disciples, taking the time to answer doubts and give advice.

Whether they can become a weapon depends on their personal good fortune.

Lu Changan looked at the three apprentices, two with low-grade spiritual roots and one with middle-grade spiritual roots.

The one with Zhongpin Linggen is called Niu Jie, with a dark complexion and an ordinary appearance.

Duan Lao told Lu Changan that this person has a good talent for alchemy, so I hope he can pay attention to it.

"Niu Jie?"

Lu Changan felt strange, remembering this person's name,

Lihuo Shangren lived for seven or eight hundred years, and his original name "Duan Daniu" is rarely known by the world.

Duan Lao's surname is derived from the pseudonym of "Duan".

Niu Jie's cattle should be similar.

After being incognito for hundreds of years, those who spy on the legacy left by the Lihuo can almost stop.

"If Master Xu can train a third-tier alchemist for this old man, the third-tier dojo in Shanshui Manor can be transferred to you cheaply."

Before parting, Duan Lao promised.

Lu Changan smiled, and didn't care much about this kind of flattery.

This small third-order spiritual vein is useful to him now, but it won't be enough when he is in the middle and late stages of alchemy, and the Xuanshui turtle is added.

Cultivating and improving spiritual veins is extremely slow. The investment of a hundred or a thousand years cannot be done by several generations of monks.

If you want to be fast, unless you snatch the spirit veins of other forces and relocate and cultivate them, you must have a clever pulse master to do it.

...

that night.

Duan Lao, dressed in a toga, appeared on the third floor of the Qizhen Building in Heyuanfang City.

"I met grandma."

Duan Lao respectfully saluted the wrinkled silver-haired old woman.

According to seniority, Grandma Yun is her grandmother.

In fact, Duan Lao is about the same age as Grandma Yun, and is not the latter's heir.

Grandma Yun was the last wife and the youngest Taoist couple married by Venerable Lihuo during the Nascent Soul Stage.

Most of the other wives, concubines and Taoist couples were married by Jianji and Jiedan, and most of them passed away.

"That Master Xu, can you rest assured?"

Granny Yun signaled him to excuse him, but the latter stood respectfully and refused to sit down.

"Those who have been initially approved by grandma are naturally at ease. That real person Xu was once intercepted and killed in the deserted city of Scorpio. He was poor, humble and easy-going. Judging from his words and deeds, he should be a refined gentleman."

Duan Lao paused, and added:

"However, grandson and Xu Zhenren met twice, and they didn't have that kind of sympathy and kindness."

"oh?"

Granny Yun still had doubts in her heart.

She and Yun Ling had similar feelings, but Duan Lao, as the grandson of Li Huo Daoist, did not.

You know, Yun Ling is two generations younger than Duan Lao.

From this, it can be speculated that the feeling of congeniality may not necessarily be related to Li Huo.

"Could it be related to the Yun family?"

Granny Yun thought to herself.

Yun Yan and Yun Ling both have the blood of the Yun family.

Yunling's appearance somewhat resembles Yun Yan when she was young.

Coupled with the talent for drawing symbols, Granny Yun trained Yun Ling as an elite.

"Perhaps, it's because Xu Zhenren practiced the exercises and his refined temperament easily made a good impression on female cultivators."

Duan Lao guessed.

"Um."

Grandma Yun nodded, but did not express her true thoughts.

The two of them naturally did not understand the causal bond.

Duan Lao is just one of the many descendants of Master Li Huo, and the bond is not that deep.

Although Yunling's seniority is lower and the distance is farther, she is also the reincarnation of Guan Qiaozhi and has a close relationship with Lu Chang'an.

Grandma Yun is the last official wife and Taoist couple of Master Lihuo, with deep feelings, and her bond is second only to Yun Ling.

"Grandma, the traitor in Fangzhen arrived in 'Gutian City' this year, and may have traced the clues."

"Although the other two teams have the hole cards of third-tier puppets and third-tier spirit beasts, they don't have real pills in charge. Once they are targeted by this kid, it will be very dangerous. Grandson must go there as soon as possible, take care of it secretly, and beware of that thief."

Hearing the name of "Fang Town", Grandma Yun showed fear.

She faked death back then, but was found out by Fang Zhen, the elder of the inner sect, who led his men to attack and seriously injure her.

Fang Zhen used to be the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall of Lihuo Palace, with a meticulous mind.

In the middle stage of alchemy, attack the early stage of alchemy, there are many people. Relying on the trump card given by her husband, Yunyan wounded the thief and escaped from death.

"Be careful, don't reveal your whereabouts."

Granny Yun instructed.

"Grandma, don't worry, now that Master Xu is in charge of Shanshui Manor, my grandson has more time and energy to deal with it..."

...

In a blink of an eye, three years have passed.

Lu Changan cultivated comfortably and leisurely in Shanshui Manor without being disturbed by the outside world.

The eldest grandson is very relieved of him, but he hasn't been back in the past three years?

Shanshui Manor seemed to be Lu Changan's private ashram.

The down-and-out real Xu had merged into the Heyuan Oasis and became a family with real estate.

On the oasis, there are fewer and fewer forces and monks who pay attention to Lu Changan.

However, the "Wanhua Chamber of Commerce" on the Heyuan Oasis had some prejudice against Lu Changan's rejection back then.

The chamber of commerce masters nearly half of the spiritual wood herbs and alchemy materials on the oasis.

Lu Changan couldn't buy those rare alchemy materials through the channels of the chamber of commerce, nor could he enjoy discounts for normal materials.

Perhaps, this is Wanhua Chamber of Commerce's refusal to Lu Changan and a different kind of suppression.

This restriction doesn't mean much to Lu Changan.

Alchemy is not his major in Immortal Cultivation, and even ranks at the bottom of several existing skills.

Moreover, Lu Changan came from Liang Guo and purchased a lot of medicinal herbs that are scarce here.

"Water arrow turtle, keep messing around, Ling'er will ignore you."

In Shanshui Manor, a girl's voice like silver bells in the wind came from the pool.

A water arrow turtle about ten feet wide sprayed a jet of water onto the girl in the blue dress with starry eyes and white teeth.

Yun Ling wrinkled her nose, her pink face was full of anger, her hair was wet, and her long skirt was soaked, outlining her exquisite and undulating curves.

Puff!

Blastoise swam to Yunling's feet, spitting blisters, comforting and apologizing obediently.

Yunling snorted softly, stretched out her white jade foot like tender lotus root, and kicked it.

The water arrow turtle has thick skin and is not afraid of pain. It sticks out its head flatteringly and rubs against the girl's feet.

"It's itchy, take it easy, focus..."

Yun Ling giggled, her eyes sparkled, she twitched her pink lips, and she slumped on the thick turtle back with her long wet skirt.

"Sister, don't make trouble. Girls must understand etiquette and shame..."

On the waterside corridor, Yun Hao, who had been promoted to the foundation building stage, rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile.

He secretly slandered that it was not just a water arrow turtle with a middle-grade bloodline, but it was also rare in the desert.

For some reason, when Yunling saw this water arrow turtle for the first time, she loved it very much, and her mother's love overflowed.

Blastoise also fell in love with her at first sight.

The reason I first visited Shanshui Manor was to seek pills and add rare and precious medicines to the store.

Later, in order to meet Water Arrow Turtle, Yun Ling took the initiative to run errands and do odd jobs for that real person Xu.

The current water arrow turtle is naturally a mysterious water turtle that changes shape, similar to the human's disguise technique.

In order to meet Yunling.

Xuanshuigui changed his laziness and worked hard to improve himself, and he completed the shape-changing technique a year ago.

This can make it easy to form different turtle breeds.

However, it cannot cross species.

The Water Arrow Turtle is a common water-type turtle. Its general appearance and water-type spells are 70% similar to the Black Water Turtle.

"Brother Niu, when will Daoist Xu leave the customs?"

Yun Hao found Niu Jie, headed by three alchemy apprentices, who had outstanding alchemy talent and was already a first-tier alchemist.

"Senior Huiyun, the real person is refining alchemy, and he has only been in for a few days, at least a few days, and at most ten days."

Niu Jie was dark-skinned and ordinary-looking, and he bowed his hands.

Yun Hao sighed, and looked at his younger sister with a ruddy face and a bright smile.

...

Niu Jie, the Yun brothers and sisters, and others did not notice that there was a vague shadow sneaking into Shanshui Manor without anyone noticing it.

The three-tier formation in the manor is useless.

The blurred shadow flitted behind a thousand-year-old tree, and his indifferent eyes glanced at Yunling and Xuanshuigui who were playing not far away.

It was a mysterious man in a hat wearing a gray and white robe and a black cloak.

The inner sides of the person's arms, like magnet plates, each hold a shuriken.

Swish!

Like a ghost, the mysterious man in the bamboo hat walked around the waterside pavilion, avoiding everyone's senses and restrictions, and quietly approached Lu Changan's alchemy room.

The fuzzy shadow flashed again, and got into the alchemy room through the crack of the door.

The temperature in the alchemy room is very high, and the bluish-red light outlines the angular and ruthless face of the man in the hat.

In front of the alchemy furnace, an elegant middle-aged man in a green shirt, with a formula in his hand, controlled the green-gold real fire, with a meticulous expression.

It seems that they have not noticed the unexpected guest behind them.

The man in the bamboo hat raised his sleeves, revealing the sleeve arrows inside, and aimed at Lu Changan's back with a cold light.

"Meet Master Changqing."

The bamboo hat assassin clapped his hands and saluted, making a blunt and indifferent voice.

"How did the investigation go?"

Lu Changan asked calmly without turning his head.

"Returning to the real person, after infiltrating investigations, it has been confirmed that the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce has indeed cultivated the main medicine of the third-order longevity pill, and there is more than one longevity fruit."

"Moreover, the chamber of commerce has a third-tier alchemist, and in the future it plans to refine a third-tier longevity pill to increase the influence of the chamber of commerce."

"Good job."

Lu Changan applauded.

In fact, the above is just a question and answer, a simulated real-life dialogue in order to train the assassin puppet.

...

Two months ago, Lu Changan made a breakthrough in his puppet skills and refined a third-tier mid-level puppet master.

For this third-tier middle-grade puppet, Lu Changan used Wujianmen's "Xing Peng" as a template to create the form of a human assassin.

Through the flesh and blood bag technique learned from Ada Maru, he was disguised as a man in a hat.

This assassin puppet has a relatively brittle body, and its defense ability is not as good as that of the third-tier turtle puppet.

However, it is agile, extremely fast, good at hiding, and has strong assassination ability.

The magic weapon or parts customized by Lu Changan for it include a cloak that adds concealment.

In terms of assassination, there are shurikens and sleeve arrows, which are small magic weapons, and they are smeared with the poison of the third-order middle-grade.

In addition, it is also equipped with special poisonous smoke bombs, which can obscure the senses of the mind, weaken the opponent, and facilitate running, or fishing in troubled waters.

In the beginning, Lu Changan injected the shadow of the soul of the first life into the puppet of the assassin. As a result, the power of the soul in the qi refining period could not control the ability of the third-order middle-grade puppet at all.

Therefore, Lu Changan injected the shadow of the soul of the second life into it.

The second life is the soul of the pinnacle of alchemy.

The explosive fighting skills and various micro-manipulations of the assassin puppet are even better than those of monks of the same rank.

However, it consumes a lot of soul and puppet crystals.

The effective distance of remote control reaches thousands of miles.

If you don't fight, just hurry and investigate, you can make do within 10,000 miles.

Such a long distance has almost the effect of incarnation outside the body.

It's just that the assassin puppet has no independent consciousness, so it needs to be controlled by Lu Changan remotely in order to exert its true strength.

In terms of fidelity, the assassin's puppet deceived Qi Refining, and Foundation Establishment was okay.

Close conversations, after a long time, may be seen.

When encountering a monk of alchemy, it is easier to reveal his secrets.

"I heard that the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is attacking the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, and intends to annex the latter. How long do you think the latter can last?"

Lu Changan stabilized the real fire in front of the alchemy furnace, and muttered.

"Although the Xingyue Merchant Guild has lost its true alchemy cultivators, it has seen a turning point in recent years. A pair of fake alchemy men and women at the helm of the Chamber of Commerce have practiced the lost joint strike technique."

"This exercise absorbs the power of the stars and the moon, men and women attack together, and has supernatural powers. A few months ago, the Zhendan killer and others hired by the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce were defeated by the two together at night. They were seriously injured and barely escaped... "

Lu Chang'an recognized it with the vision of the Nascent Soul stage, and felt that the combination attack method had a lot of background.

If it wasn't for Yunyan's recommendation, the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce would have been his choice to rely on.

"Next, do you know what to do?"

"Subordinates understand!"

The cloaked assassin opened the leather armor, took out a few puppet crystals and embedded them in his chest, and then disappeared from the alchemy room as a blurred afterimage.
