Late Bloomer

Lan Chang'an knew what happened to Qi Feng, so he changed the subject:

"How is your Aunt Guan doing?"

Guan Qiaozhi Small Turtle Peak, who left thirty-three years ago, was seventy-five years old at the time. He had no hope of spiritual practice and was gradually declining in appearance.

Lan Chang'an once judged that if Guan Qiaozhi is well maintained, there is no fighting, and if there are no accidents, the lifespan can be close to the upper limit of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Over the years, Aunt Guan has settled in a mountain villa in the common world and adopted some orphans. The place has beautiful scenery, is self-sufficient, and has no competition with the world..."

Telling about the situation of Guan Qiaozhi, Qi Feng, a young and strong man, showed a trace of warmth in his eyes.

Guan Qiaozhi first appeared as his Immortal Guide, and the subsequent care and guidance he gave him was equivalent to half a mentor.

He also treated Aunt Guan as a foster mother.

"It's not bad to take care of yourself in the secular world."

Lan Chang'an said to himself.

Immortal cultivators can live a very comfortable life in the ordinary world as long as they keep a low profile and don't cause trouble.

During Cultivation War, some monks will choose to hide in the secular world to avoid death.

There are pros and cons to this choice.

There is no Spirit Vein in the ordinary place to provide for cultivation, and the atmosphere of the mortal world is too heavy.

If you stay for a long time, the cultivation level of the immortal cultivator will stagnate, and you may even be swimming against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

The higher the realm of monks, the greater the gap will be when they stay in the secular world.

Therefore, ordinary places are only suitable for low-level Qi Refining monks to take refuge, and the time cannot be too long.

Cultivation War It is normal to have a fight for ten to twenty years.

Qi Refining monks have a short life span. If they delay ten or eight years in their golden age, they will be destined to miss Foundation Establishment in this life.

Besides, hiding in the world is not necessarily safe.

The Immortal Cultivation Sect has many means to sense the Law Power fluctuations of the monks.

It can only be avoided unless there is a clever method of concentrating Qi.

Of course, Liang Kingdom Cultivation World's war is far from reaching the end of the road to the point of going to the ordinary world to capture young men.

The quality of low-level monks hiding in the secular world is worrying.

Currently, Liang Kingdom sect is targeting Spirit Vein Dao Field from all over the country.

Large and small immortal cultivation forces, such as Lineage, Immortal City, and chambers of commerce, are all indispensable for Spirit Vein Dao Field.

A monk cannot escape from the temple if he runs away.

Especially the kind of immortal cultivator Lineage who is connected by blood and has a family, can only help others honestly.

"Qi Feng, what are your plans next?"

"Junior, recover from your injuries and then..."

Qi Feng hesitated, feeling unspeakably confused.

Small Turtle Peak is just a temporary safe haven.

Liang Kingdom fell into Cultivation War. As a wanted little monk of Qi Refining, he was wandering outside with no place to stand.

You can only go with the flow and live or die depending on your fate.

Lan Chang'an said, "Small Turtle Peak is short of an errand boy Mountain Guardian. Are you willing to stay and work as a coolie?"

"Stay at Small Turtle Peak to do odd jobs?"

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment and knelt down in ecstasy to thank him.

"Junior is willing! Grandpa Lu's kindness in taking me in will be forever remembered by Qi Feng!"

When he first entered Small Turtle Peak, he seemed to have stepped into a pure land uncontested by the world, protected by spiritual beasts and picturesque scenery.

Qi Feng Deep in my heart, I yearn for such a Spirit Vein Dao Field, but I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

Aunt Guan didn't allow him to come to Small Turtle Peak easily, obviously she didn't want to bother this ancestor of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"If you practice the <Open Source Scripture> left by Mr. Lu and embark on the path of immortality, you will be a part of fortuitous opportunity."

Lan Chang'an raised his hand to signal him to get up.

A hundred years ago, he inherited the kindness of his adoptive father and left <Open Source Scripture> in Raging River Gang, leaving an immortal destiny for his descendants.

Plus the relationship of Guan Qiaozhi.

Thinking of two old relationships, Lan Chang'an made an exception and took in Qi Feng.

"Qi Feng, you have cultivated to Qi Refining Eighth Layer, have you ever used Breakthrough Pill?"

Lan Chang'an asked about his cultivation status.

"No." Qi Feng replied honestly.

Lan Chang'an saw that his foundation was solid and nodded with satisfaction.

"You can take these bottles of elixirs and use them first. Later, if you have anything you don't understand about your cultivation, you can ask me for advice."

"Thank you Grandpa Lu for the gift."

Qi Feng suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart and bowed to take the elixir.

Being able to practice in a second-level spiritual pulse dojo with the guidance of an expert in the late stage of foundation building is a dream opportunity for him who has experienced a difficult career as a casual practitioner.

The elixir given by Lan Chang'an comes from a part left over from previous alchemy training, and the quality is decent.

Now, Liang Kingdom Cultivation World is caught in a war, and he has plans to escape to a foreign country.

During the preparation and transition period, Lan Chang'an wouldn't mind mentioning his adoptive father's descendants.

Qi Feng walked out of the cave and took a deep breath of the fresh air on the top of the mountain.

The pure Spiritual Qi of Second-Order Spiritual Vein Dao Field made him feel relaxed and happy, and the Law Power running in his body became a little smoother.

"Sister Lan."

Before the injury healed, Qi Feng took the initiative to find the maid Lan Rou to learn about the affairs on the mountain.

There is only one maid on the mountain, so the manpower is actually not enough.

Fortunately, there are Spirit Pet and Puppet on the mountain, taking on most of the labor work.

After discussing for a while, the two clarified their division of labor.

"Nowadays, the world outside is not peaceful. You are responsible for guarding the mountain, helping me run errands, and sharing some chores on the mountain."

"No problem, I used to be Escort Guard."

Qi Feng It feels more cordial to be back in my old profession.

In addition to his rich combat experience, he does not have any good skills.

The time spent chatting between the two.

A second-order Flying Boat, carrying three monks, headed straight for Small Turtle Peak.

Standing at the bow of the boat was a bearded man, about thirty or forty years old, a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage monk.

Behind him were two Qi Refining monks, a man and a woman, named Qi Refining Eighth Layer and Ninth Floor respectively.

"The sect inspects the monks!"

Qi Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately recognized the two monks from the sect Qi Refining, a man and a woman, who had hunted him down not long ago.

The sect man and woman saw Qi Feng and communicated in a low voice with the bearded man of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The bearded man glanced lightly.

Qi Feng was so flustered that he did not dare to look directly at this sect Foundation Establishment master.

He was about to go to the cave to report when the soft and pleasant voice of Lan Rou, neither humble nor overbearing, came to his ears:

"Senior Liu, my master has informed me that I would like you to go to my house and have a chat with me."

"Can you please Miss Blue, please lead the way?"

The long-bearded man showed a kind smile and was received by Lan Rou before entering the Small Turtle Peak cave.

During this time, I never took another look at Qi Feng.

Qi Feng regained his composure and noticed two details.

The monk Foundation Establishment from the sect came in person, but Grandpa Lu did not come out to greet him personally.

Moreover, the monk named Liu Foundation Establishment was quite polite to Lan Rou, a maid.

Outside the cave.

Qi Feng and the pair of male and female monks from the sect looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and stood in silence for a while.

Qi Feng noticed that the two sect monks who had been chasing and beating him a few days ago no longer had much hostility in their eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, what is the connection between you and Senior Lu?"

The female cultivator from the sect broke the silence, showed an implicit smile, and explored.

"Grandpa Lu follow me..."

Qi Feng His thoughts were whirling, his responses were alert, his speech was no longer awkward, and he seemed calm and unhurried.

Unknowingly, the three people who were enemies before started chatting.

Half an hour later.

Lan Chang'an and the long-bearded man came out of the cave, chatting happily.

"Daoist Lu, we are all one family, no need to be polite."

The bearded man had a ruddy face and a cheerful tone.

Before leaving, he glanced at Qi Feng:

"Qi Xiaoyou, from now on you can stay at Small Turtle Peak with peace of mind. There is insufficient evidence for the wanted person on you. Once Law Enforcement Hall is submitted to you, and Elder Zhang takes care of you, you can be officially removed from the list."

"Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."

Qi Feng bowed and was overjoyed, but at the same time, there was a storm in his heart.

Without investigation and cross-examination, he, a major suspect, was cleared of charges?

Maybe the other party doesn't care about the truth at all.

Qi Feng, who had been busy for a long time, presented a delicate fruit plate to Lan Rou and complimented him for a moment.

"Sister Lan, Golden Cloud Valley's Foundation Establishment monk, why are you so polite to Grandpa Lu?"

Qi Feng was confused and did not dare to ask Lan Chang'an directly.

"That Inspector Liu, I want to ask you for help."

Lan Rou ate the spiritual fruit slowly.

"Two months ago, Inspector Liu requested the master to refine the accurate Tier 3 Talisman in the task assigned by the sect. The master refused because of his lack of ability and did not buy his account."

"This person doesn't have any grudges?"

"My dear friend "True Person Tianfeng" is the Outer Sect elder of Golden Cloud Valley and the deputy hall leader of the Law Enforcement Hall. He can't even try to flatter him, so how can he dare to get angry?"

"Golden Cloud Valley Elder?"

Qi Feng was shocked that his non-blood ancestor actually had such strong connections.

In the evening.

From the two adjacent main peaks, two Foundation Establishment monks flew out and headed straight for Small Turtle Peak.

The two Foundation Establishment monks, one male and one female, are very handsome and possess a subtle amount of spiritual pressure, which is better than the previous Inspector Liu.

Especially the female cultivator Foundation Establishment, who is wearing a moonlight skirt and blouse. She has a tall and plump figure, is elegant and refined, and has a high and quiet charm.

Qi Feng was shocked by Celestial Person. He, who was born in Rogue Cultivator, had never seen an Foundation Establishment female cultivator with such temperament.

"Fairy Shi and Pharmacist Ye are here."

Lan Rou tidied up his appearance and hurried forward to receive him.

Lan Chang'an also came out from the cave.

"Congratulations to Daoist Lu on your promotion to Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

Fairy Shi and Ye Fei came to congratulate me.

Previously, Lan Chang'an had just broken through in cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, so they did not come over immediately.

Regarding Lan Chang'an being promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Ye Fei has mixed emotions, including surprise and envy.

No matter how old you are, by taking this crucial step, Lan Chang'an has caught up with most Foundation Establishment Realm.

Most of the Foundation Establishment Realm monks will not be able to advance to the later realms for life.

Fairy Shi smiled. As a former pillow person, he fought side by side with Lan Chang'an and gained a deeper understanding, so he was not surprised.

It is indeed rare to be promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage at the age of one hundred and forty.

However, Lan Chang'an practiced at a slow pace, step by step, steadily, and showed no abnormalities.

Many years ago, he asked Yellow Dragon Mountain to collect materials and refined Breakthrough Pill of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

With sufficient financial resources, Longevity Cultivation Art, a solid foundation, and a better state of mind than ordinary people, and with Breakthrough Pill... and various blessings, Lan Chang'an's breakthrough can withstand scrutiny.

In this case, the outside world can at best guess that he has a certain fortuitous opportunity, not much.

Rogue Cultivator, which can be repaired to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, which one does not have fortuitous opportunity?

Nowadays, Lan Chang'an's ability to protect the Tao has been greatly improved, and he has strong connections with the sect elders. He no longer even needs to hide Mystic Water Turtle's second-level cultivation level.

In the cave, Lan Chang'an held a banquet to celebrate, took out the second-level spirit wine, and entertained the two Peak Master.

After three rounds of drinking.

Ye Fei looked rosy, burped, and said:

"With Daoist Lu's Talisman accomplishments, why not draw more high-quality Talisman, strive to gain military exploits, and exchange for some scarce resources."

"Not worth it."

Lan Chang'an shook his head and said, "If you want to exchange for military merit, you must go beyond the basic tasks assigned, and there are requirements for the Talisman grade. Lu is currently not short of Spirit Stone and Cultivation Resources."

"Besides, at Lu's age, there is no hope Golden Core Realm. There is no need to work hard day and night."

During the war, Liang Kingdom sect opened the exchange of military merits to the monks recruited, and even the monks who shared the logistics tasks.

However, this exchange rule is very stupid.

The monks who go to fight on the front line will receive more military merits, which are relatively easy to obtain.

However, this kind of monks are easy to die in battle, the risk is high, and they may not be able to enjoy it.

Craftsmen who provide logistical and combat readiness resources have a much lower rate of exchange for military merit, and they also have corresponding requirements for grade.

If Lan Chang'an can be refining stably and supplying accurate Tier 3 Talisman, the military merit gained will be considerable, and it can even be exchanged for most of the scarce materials of Crystal Condensation Pill.

However, Lan Chang'an has experienced several lives and understands the principle of "the capable work hard".

If you show too much ability, you may be assigned more tasks and place more expectations on you.

Therefore, Lan Chang'an adopts the strategy of fishing and becomes a bastard.

Only complete basic assigned tasks and do not expect to gain military exploits.

He looks down upon a small amount of military exploits.

Having too many military exploits will easily attract the attention of the sect's senior leaders. If you run away in the future, it will increase invisible resistance.

"Golden Core Realm Hopeless?"

Fairy Shi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, if he meant it:

"Daoist Lu can be called Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, a representative monk who blooms late and has a life span of a hundred years. If he meets the great fortuitous opportunity in the future, he may not be able to break through the upper limit."

The theoretical life limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm is up to two hundred and forty years.

However, 90% of Foundation Establishment monks, not counting death halfway, only live to be around two hundred years old.

Over the long years of one or two hundred years, the lives of most monks will have ups and downs, experiencing great joys and sorrows, and encountering certain accidents.

In addition to fighting skills, Cultivation Method's small oversights will affect its lifespan.

"By the auspicious words of Fairy Shi, Lu is able to find a False Core in this life, which is a blessing gained in eight lifetimes."

Lan Chang'an heard the hint in Fairy Shi's words.

The so-called big fortuitous opportunity refers to Ancient Ruins in the Black Mist Mountain Range.

According to the agreement, after Lan Chang'an is promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, this matter will be moved up the schedule.

Ye Fei echoed, "Daoist Lu gets stronger with age. It takes a hundred years to achieve False Core. There should be some hope."

It's late at night.

Lan Chang'an sent two Peak Master out of the cave.

Fairy Shi stayed and exchanged a few words with Lan Chang'an alone.

"Didn't you see Earth Rock Rat in the past few months?"

Fairy Shi looked around the mountain with a pair of clear eyes and said in surprise.

In the past, every time she came to Small Turtle Peak, even if Earth Rock Rat didn't show up, she could still feel a faint sense of being watched secretly.

"A few months ago, Earth Rock Rat was taken to the Zhou Family by Miss Zhou to receive the baptism of "Blood Spirit Pool". He should be back soon."

Lan Chang'an explained.

Lan Chang'an thought carefully about the quota for Blood Spirit Pool and finally gave it to Earth Rock Rat.

Blood Spirit Pool can significantly increase the spiritual beast's cultivation, improve its physique, and slightly increase its bloodline.

Mystic Water Turtle's bloodline is of high grade, the effect of improving bloodline is minimal, and the price/performance ratio is too low.

As for improving your cultivation level, it's not bad at all.

Mystic Water Turtle Evergreen Art, who has been practicing with Lan Chang'an for many years, has become very fast.

A few days ago, Zhou Qingxuan wrote back and said: Earth Rock Rat lived a very happy life in the Zhou Family, and was accompanied by many similar people, so he did not come back immediately.

Lan Chang'an is not worried about anything unexpected happening to Earth Rock Rat.

As long as he is safe and sound, Zhou Qingxuan will not be able to play any tricks unless he goes to the Beast Taming Zhou Family.

"Daoist Lu is new to Foundation Establishment Late Stage. You might as well consolidate it for a year and a half and prepare more methods."

Shi Manrong was changed to sound transmission channel.

"During this period, I contacted Jiang Yechen to negotiate with him."

"Oh, what plan does Fairy Shi plan to adopt?"

Lan Chang'an The two strategies mentioned before are analysis from the sidelines.

Which plan to adopt and whether to take action or not depends on Fairy Shi's idea.

"I am going to be polite first and then fight, and try not to do anything." Fairy Shi muttered, "However, Jiang Yechen recently returned to the Jiang Family and encountered a lot of trouble. I'm afraid it's difficult to contact him."

"Jiang Family one of Seven Great Clans?"

Lan Chang'an thought for a moment and thought of the location of the Jiang Family on the Liang Kingdom map, and roughly guessed what the trouble Jiang Yechen was facing.
