Feng Kingdom Cultivators

A few days later.

A dark blue Big Turtle, riding waves and escaping into the air, is close to Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market.

"The situation is not optimistic."

On the back of a broad turtle, a gentle and handsome male cultivator in white sat cross-legged, looking at Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market, which was in depression and almost in ruins.

Lan Chang'an is going to Golden Cloud Valley on this trip and is going to find Zhang Tieshan to trade Core Transformation Secret Technique.

Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market, and even Jade Moon Lake Mu Family, although not the only way to go, are in the general direction.

Before leaving Liang Kingdom, Lan Chang'an planned to revisit his old place and meet his old friend Li Erqing, whom he met when he was young.

When Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market, Lan Chang'an Qi Refining Mid-Stage, I practiced here for ten years, guarding the shop, silently drawing talismans, and accumulating knowledge.

In this Marketplace, he went to Wushan for the first time in his life with a female cultivator he had a crush on and experienced a wonderful time.

The prosperity of the auction back then is still vivid in my mind.

Even Mystic Water Turtle was successfully hatched in this Marketplace.

"Your Excellency is Senior Lu..."

In Bamboo Leaf Mountain's broken second-level formation, a man in blue clothes from Foundation Establishment Early Stage looked at Lan Chang'an cautiously.

"Do you know Mr. Lu?"

Lan Chang'an was hundreds of feet away. He glanced at the man in Tsing Yi Foundation Establishment who did not dare to go out easily. He was probably the guarding monk of Marketplace.

"My subordinates are Zhao Gang, Golden Cloud Valley and Foundation Establishment. I met Senior Lu at Yellow Dragon Immortal City when I was young."

The man in Tsing Yi Foundation Establishment regards himself as a junior and appears to be very respectful.

Although they are both Foundation Establishment monks, their cultivation and status are very different.

Lan Chang'an is nearly a hundred years older than him, so it is normal to call him senior.

"Bamboo Leaf Mountain What happened recently?"

Lan Chang'an asked casually.

Most of the shops in Marketplace were destroyed, leaving scorch marks and dried blood everywhere.

"Senior Hui Lu, a few days ago "Maple Leaf Huang Family" was attacked and exterminated by enemy monks at night, which caused Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market to further lose control and was robbed by Jie Cultivators and surrounding monks..."

"The sect's law enforcement monks arrived and stabilized the situation. Now, this city is guarded by me and the foundation-building monks from the surrounding immortal cultivating families." The foundation-building man in green clothes stated the cause and effect.

"Feng Kingdom The lurking monk is so rampant?"

Lan Chang'an said angrily.

Although the area around Bamboo Leaf Mountain is not considered the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom, it is still in the internal area and is far away from the front line.

"Well, the main reason is that the front line is tight. Several major sects try their best to intercept, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."

Qingyi Foundation Establishment smiled.

Lan Chang'an actually knows the reason.

A month ago, on the frontline battlefield, the Liang Kingdom sect suffered another small defeat and opened some gaps.

Nowadays, some small groups of enemy elite monks sneak into the rear of the battlefield in the Liang Kingdom to plunder wealth and resources.

For small and medium-sized cultivators Lineage, Spirit Vein Dao Field, and Marketplace whose sects are not strictly guarded.

These small groups of enemy elite monks, mainly Foundation Establishment Realm, dispersed their actions with the intention of destroying Liang Kingdom's logistics and creating chaos.

After learning about the situation, Lan Chang'an prepared to leave and headed to Jade Moon Lake.

The Qingyi Foundation Establishment looked worried, bowed and begged:

"Senior Lu, now the sect's strength is being affected by the frontal battlefield. There is a lack of law enforcement personnel in the surrounding area, so I ask you to help guard. In terms of remuneration, I believe that Elder Golden Cloud Valley will not treat Senior Lu badly."

"Lu has something urgent and I'm sorry that there's nothing I can do for you."

Lan Chang'an refused without mercy.

On the way, he met the monks from the sect who had interrogated him several times. This was not the first time he refused the same request.

He has also seen ordinary monks who were left alone being forcibly recruited by the sect.

Lan Chang'an, as Foundation Establishment Late Stage, had a good reputation, so he traveled in Big Turtle, and the monks from the sect who were checking him on the road did not dare to embarrass him.

Regardless of the relationship between the sect elders, most of the law enforcement monks he encountered on the road were not as good as him in terms of cultivation and superficial strength, and they behaved more politely and followed the rules.

Qing Yi Foundation Establishment was a little disappointed, but when she thought of the rumors about "Turtle Talisman Master", she felt relieved.

"Senior Lu, can you sell some Talisman to me?"

He had an idea and suggested.

"Yes." Lan Chang'an nodded and did not refuse this time.

Not long after, another Foundation Establishment monk flew out of Marketplace.

Two Foundation Establishment monks made a deal with Lan Chang'an.

Lan Chang'an sold a dozen copies of the second-order Talisman, which was of poor quality.

At the same time, a defective product of Second-Order Middle-Grade Puppet was also sold.

Nowadays, there are very few Puppets who are lower than Second-Order High-Grade on Lan Chang'an.

Before leaving Wuqi Mountain, he did not take away the batch of early Puppet that had been guarding Small Turtle Peak all year round, including two second-order Puppet.

There are formations and Puppet self-defense to help Qi Feng get through the weak period before Foundation Establishment.

"Elder Zhang, the noble sect, is now available at Golden Cloud Valley?"

Before leaving, Lan Chang'an asked.

In recent months, he wrote to Zhang Tieshan, saying that he wanted to visit, but he did not receive a reply.

Lan Chang'an suspects that Zhang Tieshan is on the frontline battlefield and has not received the letter.

"Not sure. This junior came out of the mountain gate two months ago and did not see Elder Zhang."

Qingyi Foundation Establishment's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not give an accurate reply.

Lan Chang'an knows this very well, and as a sect monk, he does not dare to easily reveal the specific whereabouts of high-level officials.

Lan Chang'an flew away from Bamboo Leaf Mountain on a turtle and pondered for a moment.

"It seems that Zhang Tieshan is indeed away from Golden Cloud Valley recently. He is most likely fighting on the front line or performing other outing missions."

Lan Chang'an has a bit of a headache. Even if he goes to Golden Cloud Valley, he may not see Zhang Tieshan in the short term.

Go to the front line to find Zhang Tieshan?

Lan Chang'an is not that stupid, just deny it directly.

When Foundation Establishment Late Stage's veteran Talisman Master goes to the front line, he is no different from a meat bun fighting a dog.

It is very likely that he was recruited by the elders of the sect.

"Wait up to half a year."

Lan Chang'an made a decision quickly.

Sect monks often take turns when they go to fight on the front lines.

If the injury is too serious, he may return to the clan to recuperate and be responsible for guarding the rear area.

Zhang Tieshan has been going to the front line for a long time. The possibility of returning within half a year is not small.

In addition, Lan Chang'an can also send a message to the monk Foundation Establishment of the sect that he knows, to go to the front line and try to contact him.

Most of the day later.

Lan Chang'an arrived at Jade Moon Lake with magnificent waves.

It was late at night, Jade Moon Lake Mu Family was heavily guarded, and the formation was in an activated state.

Lan Chang'an discovered a hidden warning formation before he even got close.

Once Law Power fluctuates and approaches Jade Moon Lake's territory, it will be noticed by the Mu Family.

Next to Jade Moon Lake, the patrolling Mu Family monks all looked alert and did not dare to take it lightly.

Obviously, the genocide adjacent to "Maple Leaf Huang Family" sounded the alarm for the Mu Family.

Not just Mu Family.

Due to the sect's shortage of manpower and serious decline in control, the surrounding immortal cultivating forces are in danger of becoming targets.

"Mu Family asked Fairy Shi to deploy and modify Mu Family's clan-protecting formation. When prepared, even if the enemy's Foundation Establishment elites come as a team, it will be difficult to conquer in a short time."

Lan Chang'an looked at it for a moment and nodded secretly.

Compared with the surrounding Marketplace and Xiuxian Lineage, Jade Moon Lake Mu Family's formation protection is the strongest.

Since it was late at night and at a special time, Lan Chang'an did not bother to interrupt.

Early next morning.

Lan Chang'an takes Mystic Water Turtle and visits Jade Moon Lake Mu Family.

The Foundation Establishment Ancestor who came out to greet Lan Chang'an was not Li Erqing.

"Uncle Lu."

It was a beautiful, graceful and familiar figure, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Mu Bingyun is wearing a dark loose robe, and his appearance has not changed much. He looks about 27 or 28 years old, but he looks more mature and stable.

Its timbre is not as girlish as it was back then, but it still has the magnetic sweetness of a dignified female nun, and its charm does not lose the majesty of Foundation Establishment Ancestor.

"Bingyun, I haven't seen you for many years, we've made a lot of progress."

When they came closer, their eyes met. Lan Chang'an looked calm and smiled.

Mu Bingyun's mood fluctuated slightly, but in an instant he regained his composure, pursed his lips and smiled, and talked calmly.

"Mystic Water Turtle is so big that it can fly and carry people?"

Soon, Mu Bingyun was attracted by Big Turtle in front of him, his starry eyes filled with brilliance, and he happily stepped forward and touched Mystic Water Turtle's huge head.

Mystic Water Turtle met Mu Bingyun and rubbed her hand affectionately.

Later, Mu Bingyun also sat on Mystic Water Turtle's back and returned to Moon Heart Island's cave together with Lan Chang'an.

"Li Erqing is not in the clan area?"

"Uncle Erqing cooperates with Golden Cloud Valley law enforcement monks to patrol the surrounding areas for enemy monks."

After talking, Lan Chang'an learned that in the Jade Moon Lake tribe, only Mu Bingyun and Foundation Establishment Realm are in charge.

Lan Chang'an is not in a hurry to see Li Erqing.

Anyway, we have to wait for Zhang Tieshan to come back, so it doesn't hurt to be a guest at the Mu Family for a while.

In addition to guarding the clan territory, Mu Bingyun himself, as a second-level senior Talisman Master, shared a lot of talisman-drawing tasks for Golden Cloud Valley.

In addition to the relationship between Zhang Tieshan, the two Foundation Establishment of Jade Moon Lake did not go to the front line to participate in the war, but many of the middle and late Qi Refining clansmen were sent.

Mu Bingyun has been repaired to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. After years of hard work, Talisman has reached the threshold of the second level High-Grade Talisman Master.

In the cave, the two of them drank tea and chatted from morning till sunset.

During this period, Mu Bingyun resigned from all affairs within the clan.

Lan Chang'an gave Mu Bingyun some guidance in terms of cultivation and drawing talismans, but it did not exceed his own level of cultivation.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lan Chang'an stood up and left, not wanting to stay in Mu Bingyun's cave.

"Why should Uncle Lu avoid taboos? Back then, Bingyun was attacked by Night Fisherman and also stayed in Uncle Lu's cave."

Mu Bingyun smiled sweetly, with a calm expression.

"No need, Mu Lineage has many guest rooms. As the ancestor of a clan, you must maintain your dignity and image."

Lan Chang'an wave his hands.

At this time, he noticed a change in Mu Bingyun's mentality. He was no longer as young and anxious as the girl he once was, and could handle Lineage affairs calmly, including personal feelings.

"Then Uncle Lu will be a guest of Jade Moon Lake for a while,"

Mu Bingyun did not force it, and arranged a separate courtyard for Lan Chang'an in Moon Heart Island Dao Field.

In the next half month, Lan Chang'an was a guest at Moon Heart Island.

Due to their different status, Lan Chang'an only visited the lakeside courtyard where Qi Refining Realm lived back then once.

Mu Bingyun visits Lan Chang'an from time to time and will leave voluntarily after sunset.

Even so, Lan Chang'an False Core level Divine Sense occasionally caught individual rumors on Moon Heart Island.

Until this day, Li Erqing returns to Jade Moon Lake.

"Brother Lu!"

The first thing Li Erqing, a gray-bearded Hui, did was go straight to the other courtyard where Lan Chang'an stayed, unable to conceal his surprise.

In recent years, due to the impact of the war, Lan Chang'an and Jade Moon Lake have not had much contact, and Li Erqing has not seen each other for many years.

Li Erqing is much older. He is over 50 years old. When he smiles, the accumulation of nasolabial folds on his face becomes more and more obvious.

That slightly rounded face vaguely shows his former wealth.

Lan Chang'an realizes that Li Erqing's youthful age has become a thing of the past and is transitioning into his twilight years.

"Er Qing, you have been assisting Mu Family all these years without going to the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan, but you have impressed my elder brother with admiration."

Lan Chang'an patted his shoulder and said happily.

"Brother Lu, after all these years, you have remained almost unchanged."

Li Erqing stared blankly at the youthful and familiar man in white in front of him, feeling very complicated.

Not only does Lan Chang'an's appearance remain unchanged, it has also been modified to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Who would have thought that at the Qi Refining Realm stage, his cultivation level was once ahead of Lan Chang'an, and he was the first to be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Now, Li Erqing's cultivation base is stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment Early Stage, making it difficult to make any progress.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have practiced Longevity Cultivation Art back then." Li Erqing said in annoyance.

"Haha, your eldest brother's ageless appearance is not only due to Longevity Cultivation Art, but also a good attitude and steady improvement in cultivation."

"This is too difficult."

"Of course, you have to take one Youth Preservation Pill like a big brother."

Lan Chang'an said with a change of subject.

Li Erqing:...

In the hall of the other courtyard.

Lan Chang'an and Li Erqing chatted late into the night, reminiscing about the past, gossiping about future generations, and worrying about the war situation.

During the conversation, the name Li Erqing mentioned the most was "Li Congren", and he couldn't hide his pride.

Lan Chang'an has to admit that Li Congren is indeed very successful.

He led a clan of people to expand in a remote and cold land, and in just twenty or thirty years, he created a powerful cultivator Lineage.

Xuemei Mountain Li Clan, based in the northwest of the Liang Kingdom, has good relations with the Beast Taming Zhou Family and has business contacts with neighboring countries.

Lan Chang'an is planning to go to the Jing Kingdom Golden Core Realm. At that time, he will have to use the channels of Li Congren to gain convenience.

Regarding this matter, Lan Chang'an did not mention it to Li Congren in the letter, but had made insinuating remarks a few years ago.

"By the way, what's going on with Mu Jiuan now?"

Lan Chang'an suddenly thought that Mu Jiuan, the ninth son of Li Erqing, was taken as a disciple by Core Formation Cultivator when he was young, and later joined Golden Sun Sect of the Feng Kingdom.

Now, the main force invading Liang Kingdom is Golden Sun Sect and its affiliated immortal cultivating forces.

Golden Sun Sect has two Nascent Soul True Lord, which is the oldest sect in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom.

"Jiu'an him..."

When Mu Jiuan was mentioned, Li Erqing looked hesitant and stopped talking.

Lan Chang'an had a flash of inspiration and made a guess.

"If it's inconvenient, don't tell me. Brother understands your difficulties."

Li Erqing and Lan Chang'an have known each other for more than a hundred years, and they are willing to open their hearts to him about many things.

"I have never told anyone about this matter, including Bingyun and Congren..."

Li Erqing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and set up the next floor Restriction.

He realized that with Lan Chang'an's intelligence and life experience, he might be able to guess some of the truth of the matter from his own reaction.

Lan Chang'an Seeing this, another layer of isolation Restriction was reinforced.

"Jiu'an has lurked in the territory of the Liang Kingdom and has contacted me secretly."

Li Erqing lowered his voice, sweat dripped from his forehead, and spoke the secret deep in his heart.

Even though Lan Chang'an had some guesses, he couldn't help but be moved!

"Jiu'an said that Liang Kingdom will lose this war! Let me make a decision early..."

"You... did you agree?"

Mu Jiuan secretly contacted his father for what purpose, Lan Chang'an didn't even have to think about it.

"Betrayal Liang Kingdom Cultivation World, collude with the enemy's sect, I dare not do it."

After telling the secret in his heart, Li Erqing felt relieved.

The current decision of Li Erqing is related to the life and death of the Mu Family. You can imagine the pressure he is under.

If you collude with the enemy and wait for the opportunity, Golden Sun Sect will come and kill you. Not only will you be able to save Lineage, but you will also get a big reward.

If he disagrees, Mu Jiuan will not be able to save Mu Family at that time, and at most he can save his close relatives.

Assuming that the incident occurs and is discovered by the Liang Kingdom sect, Mu Family will face disaster.

Lan Chang'an sighed and made no comment on Li Erqing's decision.

As an outsider, he cannot give advice.

No matter which choice you choose, there are huge risks and variables.

Three days later.

Lan Chang'an left Jade Moon Lake and rode on a turtle.

The night before leaving.

Lan Chang'an, Li Erqing, and Mu Bingyun had a long discussion in the forbidden area of Lineage.

Lan Chang'an and Mu Family made a transaction again.

This transaction involves quasi Tier 3 Talisman, Second-Order Top-Grade Puppet, and one Youth Preservation Pill.

That Youth Preservation Pill is not for Mu Bingyun, but for the future.

One day in the future, if Golden Sun Sect comes to kill him, and through Mu Jiuan's relationship, he can offer Youth Preservation Pill to please Golden Sun Sect's senior dignitaries.

This is the only strategy given by Lan Chang'an, or it is a fallback path.

The above transactions, Lan Chang'an are basically based on cost price.

In addition, before leaving, he secretly gave Li Erqing a piece of Talisman Treasure.

The ordinary Talisman Treasure is no longer a powerful means for today's Lan Chang'an.

He launches Magic Treasure Prototype, or Body Refinement Art's close attack, which is comparable to the ordinary Talisman Treasure.

Lan Chang'an has given Zhao Siyao Treasure Talisman before. In order to avoid the attention of interested people, this time I changed the method.

Fly out Jade Moon Lake thousands of miles.

Lan Chang'an looked in the direction of Golden Cloud Valley. There were still a few days to go, and he didn't know if he could contact Zhang Tieshan.

I heard from Li Erqing before that Zhao Siyao recently went into retreat at Golden Cloud Valley to prepare for the Golden Core Realm.

Passing by a piece of Water Bay, Lan Chang'an suddenly felt the sensation.

Mystic Water Turtle, who was sitting down, was inexplicably trembling.

"So strong Sha Qi."

Lan Chang'an faintly smelled a trace of blood.

Overlooking the Water Bay below, there is a Lineage where Second-Order Spiritual Vein is located.

In the broken formation, the pavilion collapsed, but the fire was not extinguished.

"Could it be..."

Lan Chang'an's expression changed slightly. Thinking of the Maple Leaf Huang Family's destruction, he immediately took a detour.

After only walking around half a mile, he noticed a lock on False Core level Divine Sense.

"Haha, I found an interesting little guy."

The old voice came from near Water Bay, whose family was wiped out by Lineage.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sixty-seven strands of the Foundation Establishment Realm's figure aura flew out from the sand dunes covered by the shielding formation next to Water Bay.

These Foundation Establishment monks are all elites of the same level. Cultivation Method has a pure aura, surpassing several major sects of the Liang Kingdom, mainly Foundation Establishment in the middle and late stages.

In addition, there is Pseudo-Core True Person who did not show up.

"Feng Kingdom monk?"

Lan Chang'an frowned slightly, unexpectedly encountering a group of elite cultivators from an enemy country. It seemed that they had just killed a cultivator Lineage.

"Tsk tsk, with the second-level Mystic Water Turtle as a mount, this guy should have some background."

Sixty-seven Foundation Establishment monks surrounded him, with jesting expressions on their faces, as if they had caught a fish that had slipped through the net.

Lan Chang'an was locked by Pseudo-Core True Person in the dark and planned to determine the opponent's location first.

At this moment, a sudden voice came:

"... Are you Uncle Lu?"

A young man from Foundation Establishment Late Stage Golden Sun Sect was stunned and lost his voice. With an expression of uncertainty, he looked at the man in white on the back of the turtle.
