I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals Chapter 379

Chapter 379 The Road to Nascent Soul (4)

 Before entering the hinterland of the Dan Dao Alliance, Chief Lu safely conducted divination and did not catch any obvious signs of crisis.

 There will be some twists and turns at most, but the overall problem is not big.

 First of all, the risk of refining the Infant Transformation Pill at the Yuanying Stage level is relatively small.

  Secondly, as a neutral force, the Dan Dao League pays attention to rules and reputation.

 A few days later, Lu Changan arrived at Qiu State, one of the countries of the Dan Dao Alliance.

 The geographical resources of Qiu State are similar to those of Liang State where he was born in this life, and there is only one fourth-level spiritual vein.

Master Le is the chief minister of the "Huolian Pavilion" of Yuanying Sect in Qiu State. He is also one of the elders of the Alchemy Alliance, with a transcendent status.

Master Le's residence is located on a separate Earth Fire Peak in the sect's land of the fourth-level spiritual veins.

 It forms a mountain formation on its own to communicate with the outside world.

Over the Earth Fire Peak, a ray of light-escaping spiritual pressure from the late stage of pill formation was approaching.

Then, an elegant man in a blue shirt appeared and landed on this fourth-level spiritual peak that exuded a fiery aura.

Dihuo Peak's guest reception hall has gathered many high-level monks, many of whom are in the middle and late stages of pill formation.

They are all monks from all over the country who come to seek elixirs.

The high-level monks present were not surprised by the arrival of this stranger who was in the late stage of the Dan Formation, so they only took a brief look at him.

Dihuofeng did not neglect the guests. A middle-aged deacon took the initiative to greet them and provide them with guidance.

“I am Xu Xuan, a monk from outside the country. He is well-known and has come here to ask Master Yue to make elixirs.”

The man in green shirt was humble and elegant, and said with a smile.

　　This time when he came to make alchemy, Lu Changan disguised his identity. In this way, the identity of refining the Infant Transformation Pill will not be revealed so quickly.

“It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu! Unfortunately, Master Le is refining elixirs in the main hall and has no time to come out to meet him.”

 Jiadan is neither humble nor arrogant in middle age, and acts according to the rules:

“If Fellow Daoist Xu has an elixir entrustment, he can make a reservation in advance at Dihuo Peak and arrange the schedule. If it is a spiritual elixir of level 4 or below, he can entrust other alchemists on the mountain to refine it.”

Hearing this, Lu Changan glanced at the alchemy monks in the welcoming hall.

  If there is no special relationship, even if it is a major repair in the later stage of elixir formation, if Master Le is asked to refine the elixir himself, one will have to wait in line for a long time.

“Xu was entrusted by an elder to negotiate with Master Le in person.”

Lu Changan's hand on his back was quietly making secrets, using the special communication method left by Master Le.

“I dare to ask Daoist Fellow Xu about the name of the senior behind him. I'll let you know as soon as Master Le comes out of seclusion.”

 Fake Dan, a middle-aged man, feels a little embarrassed, but still has to do business.

With the status of a fourth-level alchemy master, some Nascent Soul Lords will come to ask for alchemy and show respect and courtesy.

Lu Changan smiled and said nothing. At this moment, he sensed a stream of Nascent Soul monk's spiritual consciousness sweeping from the top of Dihuo Peak. Master Le should have received the message.

Not long after, a tall and elegant girl flew up from the top of the mountain. She was wearing a light blue fairy dress, with eyebrows like crescent moons, a beautiful nose and almond-shaped eyes, and her aura was like a deep orchid.

 “Le Zhenren.”

 “Fairy Qingni.”

 The high-ranking monks present stood up one after another and saluted politely.

Yue Qingni is the granddaughter of Master Yue. She is the younger generation with the closest bloodline and is quite favored by Master Yue.

This woman is in the middle stage of alchemy cultivation, and her appearance and temperament are both excellent, but her temperament is a bit cold. On the way here, she faced some compliments and warm greetings, and she just nodded slightly reservedly.

“This fellow Taoist, please move to the inner hall.”

Yue Qingni floated down in front of Lu Changan, bowed, raised her hand with a smile, and looked at the man in green shirt curiously.

When Grandpa was allowed to come out to meet when he refine it, this treatment was that some disciples of Yuan Yingzhenjun came, and few people could enjoy it.

As for this real person in the late stage of pill formation, she had no memory at all and had no idea what his background was.

 “The Fairy of Trouble and Joy.”

Lu Changan returned the salute with a warm smile and followed Yue Qingni to fly to the interior of Earth Fire Peak.

 “It's unreasonable to openly cut in line!”

“What is the background of this person that made Master Yu make an exception?”

This scene made several high-ranking monks waiting in line feel dissatisfied, secretly complaining, and discussing privately.

 At the top of the mountain, there is a side hall of Danhuo Hall.

 The host and guest were seated, and the two maids poured tea and left.

“Mr. Xu, grandpa is refining elixirs and will be out in half a day.”

Yue Qingni sat quietly and entertained Lu Changan.

 “It doesn't matter, Xu has plenty of time.”

“I dare to ask Mr. Xu, who is my master, and what kind of elixir is entrusted to be refined?”

During the conversation, Yue Qingni became curious and tried to find out the details of Lu Changan.

“Xu comes from the Yuanying Sect in the Central Region and needs a fourth-level elixir.”

Such an answer almost made Yue Qingni roll her eyes. Isn't this nonsense?

 Given his cultivation and treatment, Master Le treated him politely. He must be here to refine the fourth-level elixir.

“Is Master Xu preparing to refine the Infant Transformation Pill?”

Yue Qingni's eyes turned slightly, as if she thought of something.

 “That's right.”

Lu Changan was silent for a moment, but he didn't expect to be easily seen through by this woman.

Thinking about the relationship between this woman and Master Yue, I probably won't be able to hide it when she makes the elixir later.

 After receiving a positive reply, Yue Qingni's smile faded, she pursed her lips and her eyes dimmed a bit.

This woman was silent for a few breaths, and then her words seemed low and careless.

 Less than half a day.

 In the alchemy hall located a courtyard away, a ray of alchemy energy shot straight into the sky, emitting powerful spiritual pressure.

 “The alchemy energy penetrates the rainbow, the scene of the fourth-level elixir.”

 Lu Changan couldn't help but raise his head and analyzed the properties of this elixir. It was most likely a type that promoted cultivation.

 The fourth-level elixir corresponds to the Yuanying level and contains the charm of heaven and earth. Every time one is successfully refined, it will produce certain visions.

Of course, the movement of this vision is much lower than that of the Nascent Soul, and it can only be seen by monks in the closer area.

As a third-level alchemist, Lu Changan knows a lot of alchemy knowledge and principles.

It's just that his alchemy qualifications are too mediocre. He has practiced many skills concurrently in recent years, and his alchemy skills can only reach the third-level mid-level.

 After waiting for a while, three people walked out of the Alchemy Hall.

 Except the music master whose hair is all white.

There is also a real man in black robe wearing a bamboo hat; a handsome and heroic young man in purple robe.

“Master Yue has superb alchemy skills and has touched the fourth-level mid-grade level. Nine of the ten [Purple Yuan Pills] made this time are genuine. If the master knows about it, he will definitely be satisfied.”

The black-robed real man's face glowed red and he smiled respectfully.

Lu Changan took a look and saw that the evil method practiced by the black-robed master was common in the world of immortal cultivation in Dayuan.

The purple-robed young man on the other side is obviously not the same group as him, and his body exudes the remaining power of the fire elixir.

Lu Changan guessed that this person was the "Big Brother Chu" whom Yue Qingni mentioned just now, and Master Yue's proud disciple "Chu Yang".

Chu Yang is a genius in alchemy. He has reached the peak of alchemy cultivation and his alchemy skills have reached the fourth level. He often assists Master Le in alchemy and shares some of the pressure.

Chu Yang saw off the black-robed master and took a quick look at Yue Qingni and Lu Changan in the side hall.

"Xiang Zhenren's disguise skills are superb. If he hadn't been summoned, I would have almost made a mistake."

Master Le smiled brightly and greeted him personally.

 “I've seen the music master.”

Lu Changan stood up to greet him, stretched out his hand and wiped his face, restoring his appearance like Xiang Dalong.

Since Master Le pointed out his identity, it can be seen that he has complete trust in his granddaughter and does not hide it.

 Another one, Lu Changan's future agreement may extend to Yue Qingni.

“Zhenren Xiang? This person hides his head and shows his tail. Could it be that his identity is hidden from the light?”

Yue Qingni looked at the bald young man whose appearance and temperament had changed drastically. Compared with his previous elegant image, his senses were a little lower.

In Dayuan, Xiang Dalong actually maintained Lu Changan's original appearance, but was shaved bald due to damage to the space passage.

If you don't deliberately use the Evergreen Kung Fu to cure it, the baldness will not recover and it will look natural.

In addition, Lu Changan used the characteristics of the exercises to make his skin less delicate and white, making his overall appearance slightly rougher and older.

To Lu Changan's surprise, Yue Qingni didn't seem to know his name.

It's normal if you think about it carefully, it's just his own sentimentality.

Dandao League and Dayu Kingdom are two different territories in the middle of the Great Abyss, and they are far apart.

 Just like the positional relationship between the Wei Dao Alliance, Feng Yuan Kingdom and the Seven Nations Alliance in the Eastern Region of Daqing.

Lu Changan used to be in the Wei Dao Alliance and was not familiar with the situation of some high-level monks in the Seven Nations Alliance.

 Unless you are famous or pay careful attention, you can only know the details.

What's more, Master Yue only called Xiang Zhenren, but did not tell his full name and sect origin.

“Can the materials for Mr. Xiang be gathered together?”

After exchanging a few words, Master Yue got down to business.

“Except for the [Tian Ying Fruit], all the other ingredients for the Infant Transformation Pill are ready.”

Lu Changan took out two main herbs, [Yueluohua] and [Miluocao], as well as more than a dozen rare auxiliary herbs.

 These materials were all gathered by Lu Changan himself. As a monk with a casual cultivating background, this is extremely valuable.

If it weren't for True Lord Aoki coming to kill him in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Lu Changan would have been able to get the [Sky Infant Fruit].

The [Tianying Fruit] that I got clues from Tianluo Sect back then, although the age difference of the medicine is a hundred years, it has been several decades now.

There are all kinds of wonders in the world of immortality. As long as you pay enough price, there are other methods to promote the growth of medicinal materials, not limited to the Evergreen Technique.

 Only the Evergreen Kung Fu is more effective, other methods are more expensive.

 “Okay, the materials are complete and correct.”

 Master Yue and Yue Qingni finished counting the materials together.

 As the granddaughter of Master Yue, Yue Qingni is also a third-level mid-level alchemist.

 It's just that her alchemy talent is not as good as that of an alchemy genius like Chu Yang.

“Please also ask Master Xiang to confirm this Tianying Fruit.”

 Master Le took out a green wooden box.

 After opening it, a translucent green spiritual fruit shaped like a baby is revealed, exuding a mysterious fragrance, which makes people fascinated, as if hearing mysterious sounds from outside the world.

“Yes, this Tianying fruit has sufficient medicinal properties.”

 Lu Changan inspected it carefully and nodded.

 Having the memory of the three great Nascent Souls, he has naturally seen the [Tianying Fruit] or [Huaying Pill].

 “Master, Qing Ni.”

 At this time, Chu Yang returned after seeing off the guests.

Seeing the complete materials for refining the Infant Transformation Pill, especially the [Sky Infant Fruit], Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and his expression changed slightly.

As the closest people to each other, Chu Yang and Yue Qingni naturally knew about this [Sky Infant Fruit] owned by Master Le.

“Chu Yang, you are in good condition recently, and you are assisting me in refining [Huaying Dan].”

Master Le organized all the materials and waved his orders.

 “Yes, Master.”

Chu Yang immediately agreed.

The experience of refining [Huaying Dan] is a valuable and rare experience for any alchemy master who wants to become a fourth-level alchemist.

“Master Xiang, don't worry. Chu Yang has the experience of assisting Lao Chan in refining the [Huaying Dan] before. As a quasi-fourth-level alchemist, he can also share the pressure during the alchemy process and increase the chance of winning the elixir.”

 Master Yue explained to Lu Changan.     “That's very good.”

Lu Changan naturally would not refuse.

It is true that Chu Yang has accumulated experience and skills, but it is not a bad thing after all for a quasi-fourth-level alchemist and a fourth-level alchemist to join forces.

Master Le and Chu Yang entered the alchemy hall one after another, followed closely by Lu Changan.

Yue Qingni did not go in, but stood outside the hall, lightly pursed her lips, and her clear eyes moved, seeming to be unwilling and aggrieved.

Chu Yang took a step behind and looked at Yue Qingni, signaling the latter not to get emotional.

Although Lu Changan did not notice the eye contact between the two, he could see the close relationship between Chu Yang and Yue Qingni.

Master Chu Yang Neng Dele's efforts in training him are probably due to his prospective grandson-in-law.

In the alchemy hall, Chu Yang turned on the formation fire to help fight.

According to Master Le's rules, his employer will not be allowed to observe alchemy refining. After all, he is a fourth-level alchemy master, and his skills cannot be taught to outsiders.

 When everything is ready, start the alchemy furnace.

Lu Changan walked out of the hall knowing what was going on.

In the courtyard outside the palace, Yue Qingni was silent, with a look of sadness and resentment between her brows. Her delicate appearance made people feel pity for her.

Seeing Lu Changan approaching, Yue Qingni returned to her cool and elegant demeanor.

“I dare to ask Fairy Le, has Master Chu reached the peak of alchemy formation and reached the Nascent Soul stage?”

 Lu Changan asked directly.

“Brother Chu tried to attack the Nascent Soul stage many years ago, but he didn't succeed.”

Yue Qingni responded in a low voice.

She saw Lu Changan's concerns and added: "Brother Chu once used an Infant Transformation Pill back then. Grandpa set the rule that he would only be helped once."

Hearing this, Lu Changan felt relieved.

It is not difficult for him to surmise that although Chu Yang is a genius in alchemy, his aptitude for cultivating immortals is not top-notch, otherwise he would fail to attack the Nascent Soul and would not be able to survive.

Master Le, for the sake of his grandson-in-law and the heir to the mantle, he will help him once at most.

Moreover, if you fail once, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and the chance of the next time will often be even lower.

Hence, Chu Yang should have no reason to plot and get involved in the Infant Transformation Pill that is being refined.

Lu Changan estimates that Yue Qingni's aptitude for cultivating immortals should be better than Chu Yang's, but he is much younger and will also need the Infant Transformation Pill in the future.

However, from the middle stage of the pill formation to the peak of the late stage of the pill formation, it takes at least a period of time, or even hundreds of years. It is not a good thing to prepare the Infant Transformation Pill too far in advance.

Master Le's life is short, so he may hope that after his death, Yue Qingni and Chu Yang can help each other. In the future, Chu Yang is expected to become a fourth-level alchemist, and can also help her granddaughter be promoted to Nascent Soul and take care of other descendants of the clan.

“Master Yu's arrangements may not have been fully explained to his granddaughter.”

Lu Changan saw the reason for Yue Qingni's bad mood.

The Tianying Fruit in Grandpa's hands was given to an outsider to make elixirs, but he did not keep it for her, his own granddaughter.

 This woman's emotions are human nature.

 In the alchemy hall, the ground fire was burning, and even though there was a formation to isolate it, there was still a feeling of warmth.

Yue Qingni stayed for half a day and was not in the mood to accompany Lu Changan, nor did she want to talk.

 She turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey! Fairy Le must have nothing urgent to do. Why don't you chat with a certain family?"

Lu Changan raised his arm, half-smiling but not smiling, and said in an attempt to stay.

“Master Xiang, please be more respectful.”

Yueqingni is sullen and angry, or feels that the person is offensive or disrespectful.

As the granddaughter of a fourth-level alchemy master, she has outstanding qualifications. She has a noble status. Other direct disciples of Yuanying Zhenjun respect her and even try to please her.

At the moment, this person's identity is hidden, so arrogant, and his playful tone seems to ask her to "accompany you".

"Fairy Le, please calm down. For ten and a half days at most, you and I can talk about Taoism and drink tea together."

“When the elixir is successfully refined, Fairy Le will be free.”

Lu Changan's tone was gentle and did not mean to be frivolous.

“Master Xiang, you can rest assured that the little girl will never leak the news about refining the Infant Transformation Pill.”

Yue Qingni's tone was cold and she felt unhappy.

This person actually doubted her character?

Yue Qingni snorted softly, waved her sleeves and left.

 She was in a bad mood and didn't want to spend days with this bald man.

However, before Yue Qingni could walk out of the yard, a rat demon as big as a native dog emerged from the ground, blocking his way.

Yue Qingni was about to scold him when he touched the cold, bloodthirsty eyes of the rat demon.

 Under its lock, Yue Qingni's heart was shaken, her whole body was cold, and her whole body's energy and blood were stagnant.

 “…The demon king in disguise!”

 The invisible evil force of the earth shrouded his soul. Yue Qingni's face turned pale, her waist trembled, her body was limp, and even her speech seemed difficult.

 Fortunately, the momentum was locked for only a moment.

“Mr. Diyan, please be polite to Fairy Le.”

Yue Qingni came over in a trance, broke out in a cold sweat, stumbled back instinctively, her face was bloodless.

Looking at Le Xianzi who was so frightened that she almost peed, Lu Changan shook his head secretly.

This woman is obviously an alchemy monk who grew up in a greenhouse. She lacks experience in actual combat methods and her living conditions are too good.

However, for monks in the middle stage of pill formation, facing the threat of the fourth-level demon king is indeed quite terrifying, and most people cannot withstand it.

“Master Xiang, please sit down and Qingni will make tea for you.”

 In the side hall, Yue Qingni smiled sweetly, although it was a bit formulaic. But it was the first time for him to lower his posture and accompany a pill-forming monk like this.

 She looked at the "mouse demon" outside from the corner of her eye, and at this time she already knew the origin of Zhenren Xiang.

 Being in the Alchemy Alliance, she once heard that there was an Alchemy monk in Dayu Country who had the spiritual pet of a fourth-level demon king, and she was very envious at that time.

At this moment, Yue Qingni is equivalent to a distinguished guest accompanying a Yuanying monk. How dare you neglect him?

What's more, before her grandfather went into seclusion to refine alchemy, he asked her to entertain Xiang Zhenren well.

She was in a bad mood and didn't take it seriously. She neglected the guests and knew she was in the wrong.

 The days of waiting for alchemy are excruciating, and the days feel like years.

 Especially the refined elixir, which is also the holy elixir of the immortal realm for advanced Yuanying.

 Fortunately, Fairy Le is accompanying me.

Sometimes we play chess, sometimes we drink tea, and sometimes we talk about Taoism, which makes the waiting time less boring.

 Ten days later.

 A ray of elixir energy shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a mysterious Sanskrit sound that rippled at the soul level.

 “Level 4 elixir!”

“As expected of Master Le, he has refined fourth-level elixirs one after another.”

 At the guest reception hall of Dihuo Peak, a group of high-level monks waiting could not help but marvel.

Unless you are proficient in the principles of elixirs, you can judge the approximate attributes of the elixir based on the signs of elixir energy flowing through the rainbow.

“Hey! Could this kind of elixir energy be made into the 'Huaying Dan'?”

In the adjacent Huolian Pavilion, the Supreme Elder Yuanying Zhenjun looked at the Honghong Dan Qi in the distance and revealed a strange color.

The Supreme Elder of Huolian Pavilion is also a master of alchemy, but he can only barely touch the fourth level, and his skills are not as good as Master Le.

Of course, this was not the first time that Master Le had refined the Infant Transformation Pill. The Supreme Elder did not make a fuss, but was just a little curious.

 The alchemy hall was opened and the furnace fire was extinguished.

 “Xiang Zhenren lives up to expectations.”

Master Le's face glowed red, and there was a green, translucent elixir floating in the palm of his hand, about the size of his thumb. Like fireflies in the night sky, the faint light flowing around seems to contain spiritual life.

“Genuine Huaying Dan, good!”

Lu Changan looked excited, and put away the hard-won [Infant Transformation Pill] under the yearning eyes of Chu Yang and Yue Qingni.

With this elixir in hand, the resources to attack Yuanying have been successfully gathered.

 Next, Lu Changan only needs to return to Yunxia Sect and hit the Nascent Soul stage on the fourth-level spiritual veins.

 In the territory of the Alchemy Alliance, you can actually attack Nascent Soul. However, with the help of the fourth-level spiritual veins here, it is often necessary to sign a guarding contract for more than a hundred years.

 Given his bond with the Yunxia Sect, he is not suitable to do this.

“Senior alchemy masters can see the signs of [Huaying Dan], let alone in the territory of the Alchemy Alliance. The news may have been leaked..."

Lu Changan thought to himself that this situation was actually expected.

 Such anomalies of heaven and earth involve the rules of heaven and earth, and cannot be covered up by ordinary fourth-level formations.

 Fortunately, Lu Changan does not have any grudges or enemies in the Dandao Alliance.

Without further ado, we must return to Yunxia Sect as soon as possible.

As long as you return to Dayu Country before the hostile forces such as Orochi Mountain get the information, you can avoid a major potential threat.

“I will not keep Xiang Zhenren as a guest. I hope Xiang Zhenren will remember the original agreement.”

Master Le knew Lu Changan's mood and smiled without holding back.

Back then, he helped Master Yunlan refine the fourth-level elixir. The latter left the Alchemy Alliance and was attacked by surprise, which caused the relationship with the Yunxia Sect to deteriorate.

“Master Le, don't worry, even if Xiang fails to conceive a baby, Mr. Diyan will remember this favor.”

Lu Changan and Di Yanjun said goodbye and promised to Master Yue, and also paid tribute to Chu Yang and Yue Qingni.

 After saying goodbye.

Lu Changan turned into a ray of green light and merged into the distant sky. The speed was far faster than that in the late stage of pill formation, which was staggering.

At Dihuo Peak, there were two Dan-forming monks who wanted to follow them, but unfortunately they couldn't keep up.

 As for the Nascent Soul-level Escape Light, its momentum is no small matter. It is impossible for the two Nascent Soul Lords of Qiu State, including Master Le, to do such an obvious violation of rules.

“Grandpa, are you optimistic about this person's impact on Yuanying?”

Yue Qingni watched Lu Changan disappear in the direction of the light, with mixed emotions and some unpleasant feelings.

Ten days ago, she forced her face to accompany the bald Mr. Xiang, and he also used the Tianying Fruit that originally belonged to her.

 She has no good impression of Xiang Dalong, and wishes that he would fail to conceive a baby.

"This person is older, probably around 380 years old. Logically speaking, the hope of being promoted to Nascent Soul is relatively low."

Master Yue stroked his beard, nodded and thought deeply.

As a master of alchemy and the True Monarch of Yuanying, he naturally has the secret method of sensing and judging the approximate age of monks.

Lu Changan had close contact with him many times, which was difficult to conceal.

“Hmph! At such an old age, you still waste an Infant Transformation Pill.”

 Yue Qingni and Chu Yang were both surprised and felt a little regretful when they learned Lu Changan's approximate age.

“However, this person has an extraordinary feeling of being old. It's hard to say whether he can be promoted to Nascent Soul.”

Master Le reached an agreement with Lu Changan, so he naturally collected and analyzed the information about this person and found something unusual.

 A few days later.

Lu Changan gradually flew away from the sphere of influence of the Dan Dao Alliance.

 In order to increase the speed, he simply let Diyanjun transform back into the demon king and fly directly, and the speed increased greatly!

 In order to ensure safety, before and after he left the Alchemy Alliance, he performed a divination once a day, even at the expense of his life, to calculate the optimal route.

Perhaps it was because of the fast return speed, or because the fourth-level monster protected the Infant Transformation Pill that it was safe enough, and there were no accidents along the way until they were far away from the Dandao Alliance's influence.

 half a month later.

Lu Changan had a smooth journey back to the boundary of Dayu Kingdom, and then successfully returned to the Yunxia Sect Mountain Gate.
