The Demonic Cult of the Borderlands

Lan Chang'an's heart moved, Zhang Tieshan indeed has Core Transformation Secret Technique, and it is Secret Method of Higher Vehicle.

The success rate of 30% is still relatively high for individual monks.

Even if the elixir is returned to liquid smoothly and there is a chance to re-condensate the elixir, there is no guarantee that Golden Core Realm will succeed next time.

After all, the qualifications of those who achieve False Core are often not top-notch.

However, if it is supported by Nascent Soul True Lord and paired with rare heaven and earth spiritual objects, the success rate of this Secret Method will be quite impressive.

This is why, the complete and reliable Core Transformation Secret Technique is mostly controlled by Nascent Soul level sects.

"Tianfeng Fellow Daoist Core Transformation Secret Technique, can you let Mr. Lu inspect part of it first to confirm its authenticity?"

Lan Chang'an said in deep thought.

"Okay."

Zhang Tieshan took out a blank Jade Cylinder, put it on his forehead for a moment, and threw it to Lan Chang'an.

<Dust-Returning Core Transformation Method>.

Lan Chang'an checked the content of Secret Method in Jade Cylinder and nodded secretly.

He Previous Life got an incomplete Core Transformation Secret Technique. After mutual verification, the part given by Zhang Tieshan is obviously more advanced and perfect.

"Tianfeng How are you going to trade?"

After preliminary verification, Lan Chang'an returned Jade Cylinder to Zhang Tieshan without any detours.

After that, Lan Chang'an took out a can of Five Elements Soil and said bluntly:

"Without the support of Nascent Soul True Lord, Core Transformation Secret Technique alone has considerable limitations."

"And Five Elements Soil is known as the "universal soil source" and has a wide range of uses. Not only can it cultivate almost all kinds of fairy plants and herbs in the world, it has a bonus effect. Moreover, as the best neutralizing material for refining, it can improve the quality of Law Treasure and the success rate of refining..."

Lan Chang'an speculates that Zhang Tieshan needs Five Elements Soil, which may be related to the weapon refining.

However, the Law Treasure refined by Five Elements Soil is of higher grade. The Zhang Tieshan currently cultivated by False Core is not very suitable.

In addition, Lan Chang'an also thought of a possibility: with the characteristics of Five Elements Soil, it can be used to repair high-grade treasures.

"What Daoist Lu said is true. Five Elements Soil is indeed a rare strategic resource. However, Core Transformation Secret Technique can be compared with extraordinary foreign objects up to the path of immortality."

"This sect <Dust-Returning Core Transformation Method> of Mr. Zhang is more advanced than the Core Transformation Secret Technique of the surrounding sects Nascent Soul. Apart from Mr. Zhang, I can't find another one."

Zhang Tieshan spoke calmly and pointed out the key points in one word.

Lan Chang'an knows very well that even if he can be found, there is no safety guarantee.

Those who have complete and reliable Core Transformation Secret Technique, excluding Nascent Soul True Lord, must be at least the elder level of the Nascent Soul sect.

Lan Chang'an I don't want to have long nights and many dreams, and lose big because of small things.

On the premise of ensuring the success of the transaction, try to gain some benefits.

Zhang Tieshan wants to trade a can of Five Elements Soil, and is willing to provide compensation in terms of Spirit Stone, high-end Cultivation Method, etc.

Lan Chang'an did not agree and was only willing to sell half a can of Five Elements Soil.

Five Elements Soil is generally not the main material for refining, similar to rare earths, and is neutralized in the refining process. The demand for normal refining of one Law Treasure is not high.

Because of the fear of losing money in the transaction, Lan Chang'an restricted the amount.

However, for weapon refiners, the more Five Elements Soil, the better.

"Forget it, I hope the remaining Five Elements Soil in Daoist Lu's hands will not be traded out."

Zhang Tieshan's demand for Five Elements Soil was indeed urgent, so he sighed and made a concession.

Lan Chang'an smiled and said, "Tianfeng Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Lu is not a weapon refiner. In the next few decades, I will keep a copy of the remaining Five Elements Soil for you."

Zhang Tieshan obviously has fortuitous opportunity in his body, and his luck is not small. If he masters Core Transformation Secret Technique, he can only become False Core, and his plan is very big.

Lan Chang'an doesn't mind trading with him in the future to obtain other scarce resources.

"I hope Daoist Lu will establish Heart Demon Oath. After getting this Core Transformation Secret Technique, it will not be leaked to a third party."

Zhang Tieshan will burn the complete <Dust-Returning Core Transformation Method> in Jade Cylinder.

"Tianfeng's words are very much in line with Lu's wishes. The contents of this transaction, including the acquisition of Five Elements Soil, I hope that fellow Daoist Tianfeng will also make the decision to Heart Demon Oath and shall not be leaked to the outside world."

Lan Chang'an added.

Both parties settled on Heart Demon Oath and then completed the transaction.

Zhang Tieshan got half a can of Five Elements Soil. After confirmation, a touch of joy appeared on his face.

Lan Chang'an Divine Sense Check out Core Transformation Secret Technique in Jade Cylinder and feel satisfied.

Neither of them explored the other's secrets.

Zhang Tieshan did not ask Lan Chang'an where he got Five Elements Soil.

Lan Chang'an also did not explore what Zhang Tieshan needs Five Elements Soil for, and where Core Transformation Secret Technique came from.

Neither of them have outstanding qualifications. If they can reach this stage without any fortuitous opportunity, the outside world will not believe it.

"Lu is going to hide in a remote place and prepare for the Golden Core Realm. I don't know when he will be able to return. I hope fellow Daoist Tianfeng can let me know after Daoist Zhao comes out of seclusion."

Before leaving, Lan Chang'an said with a hand in hand.

In this life, his two closest friends are Li Erqing and Zhao Siyao.

Li Erqing has seen it before at Jade Moon Lake.

Zhao Siyao is in retreat, and his disciples have also gone to the front line, but they have not been able to meet each other.

"Daoist Lu Please take care, Zhang will definitely tell you."

Zhang Tieshan looked solemn and nodded.

On the top of the lonely peak, he watched Lan Chang'an ride on a turtle and ride on the waves, disappearing into the sky.

Whoosh!

The half-can of Five Elements Soil in Zhang Tieshan's hand was still there, but the Five Elements Soil inside was missing out of thin air.

"Yes, with this Five Elements Soil, plus the gold and iron materials and Law Treasure collected in the past few years, the Spirit Treasure Fragment where this Artifact Spirit is located will be able to be repaired by 60 to 70%, which can speed up the recovery of spiritual nourishment."

A voice with a childish voice, but pretending to be mature, sounded in my mind.

"With Senior Artifact Spirit's spirituality, have you ever seen Daoist Lu's heel?"

Zhang Tieshan asked curiously.

"This person's Cultivation Method aura seems familiar to me Artifact Spirit."

Artifact Spirit has a childish voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"It's a pity that because Spirit Treasure self-destructed and split into several pieces, this Artifact Spirit is a new one, and 90% of the memory cannot be remembered."

"The strange thing is that during this meeting, the boy seems to have a mysterious and unknown mystery. It can block the calculation and spiritual induction, making it impossible for this Artifact Spirit to explore in depth."

"An unknown mystery?"

"This Artifact Spirit can't tell clearly. Maybe we have to wait until we collect other fragments and regain our peak before we can find out."

Hearing this, Zhang Tieshan was surprised. There is a mystery in Lan Chang'an that Artifact Spirit cannot understand and detect for the time being.

A Moon Empress.

The dark blue Big Turtle carries the man in white, approaching the northwest border of the Liang Kingdom.

"Senior Lu. In the area further to the west, monks from this country are prohibited from entering unless there are passage orders signed by several major sects."

A group of law enforcement monks stopped Lan Chang'an's whereabouts, and the man leading Foundation Establishment Middle Stage informed them politely.

The Golden Cloud Valley identity authentication jade pendant that Lan Chang'an previously obtained has lost its effect in this area.

"Lu is not at the border of the West, so he is going to Northern Region to visit his old friend."

Lan Chang'an explained in a gentle tone.

The highest cultivation level of this team of monks is only Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and Lan Chang'an is sure to kill them.

However, the sect's law enforcement monks near the border have means of summons.

Slightly stronger fluctuations in fighting skills can be sensed by the special Law Artifact further away, attracting stronger sects with higher cultivation levels.

Two days later.

Lan Chang'an arrived at a mountain covered with snow and the fragrance of plum blossoms.

This is his first time coming to the tribe of "Xuemei Mountain Li Clan".

"Grandpa Lu."

Not long after, a young man wearing an animal skin cloak came out enthusiastically.

Having lived in Northern Region for a long time in a bitter cold place, Li Congren is no longer the handsome young man he was when he was young. He is more rugged and bold in his calmness.

We haven't seen each other for many years, but Li Congren's cultivation has already reached that of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. He is nearly ten years younger than Mu Bingyun, and Foundation Establishment's fifth-level cultivation is not far behind.

In the main hall of the Xuemei Mountain clan, Lan Chang'an also saw a female nun from Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

"This is bitch "Wu Yue'e"."

Li Congren's wife has an ordinary appearance, plain clothes, and slightly dark skin color.

Judging from appearance alone, it doesn't quite match Li Congren.

"Seen Grandpa Lu."

Wu Yue'e is neither humble nor arrogant. Although he looks ordinary, his eyes are bright and his teeth are like snow shells.

Lan Chang'an knows that this wife gave Li Congren a lot of help during the difficult period of pioneering abroad.

Or because of the war, the two got married in a very low-key manner and did not hold a public wedding ceremony.

When they met for the first time, Lan Chang'an took out a set of Talisman from Second-Order High-Grade and gave it to Li Congren's wife as a meeting gift.

Li Congren and his wife declined, thanked and accepted.

A few years ago, Li Congren paid off his grandfather's debts, paid filial piety to Lan Chang'an, and at a critical moment, conveyed information about the border blockade to Lan Chang'an.

This time, Lan Chang'an came to the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan, wanting to use Li Congren's channels to obtain more information and go to the Jing Kingdom, a neutral immortal country.

"Congren, Xuemei Mountain Li Clan is developing well, no wonder your grandpa praised it many times."

Lan Chang'an Tao from the heart.

Xuemei Mountain Li Clan, in addition to Li Congren and his wife, there is also a worshiper of the Foundation Establishment Realm, who has a life-and-death relationship with Li Congren.

In terms of managing Lineage, Li Congren is quite talented, far better than his grandfather Li Erqing.

Not only that, Li Congren also has some diplomatic skills and maintains good relations with the Beast Taming Zhou Family and Golden Cloud Valley.

He even established business relationships with merchants and chambers of commerce from neighboring countries.

Before the war, Li Congren bought the mineral vein development rights in advance and also made war fortune.

Squeak!

While chatting, Earth Rock Rat became restless, got out of Storage Bag, and grinned at Li Congren.

The aura of Demon Beast at the peak of the second level made Li Congren and his wife moved.

"Earth Rock Rat is very sensible and will not mess around."

Lan Chang'an smiled.

Li Congren hesitated for a moment, then patted Spirit Pet Bag.

Squeak!

A clearer rat voice came. A pale golden Rat Demon with jewel-like eyes and smooth hair jumped out from Spirit Pet Bag.

In terms of appearance, this Rat Demon is even better.

In comparison, Earth Rock Rat is more like the Shamate in Rat Demon.

"Rat Demon, mid-second-order, seems to have the bloodline of Treasure Seeking Rat."

Lan Chang'an looked at it secretly.

The pale golden Rat Demon is slightly smaller than Earth Rock Rat, and is a little frightened.

Squeak!

Earth Rock Rat called out a few times, and after some communication, Treasure Seeking Rat lowered his vigilance.

Not long after, two Rat Demon went outside to play happily.

Earth Rock Rat is female, but stronger.

After a while, the pale golden Rat Demon was dragged into the woods by Earth Rock Rat.

Li Congren's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Lan Chang'an didn't take it to heart and shifted the topic to the border between the two countries.

"Yue'e, go out and take a look at Little Gold Rat."

Li Congren received instructions from Lan Chang'an and asked his wife Wu Yue'e to go out for fun.

Lan Chang'an no longer concealed it, explained his purpose of coming, and asked Li Congren about the way to the Jing Kingdom.

Li Congren glanced at Lan Chang'an but showed no surprise.

"Grandpa Lu, it's true. Congren has contacts with people from the Jing Kingdom and Merchant Alliance. Two years ago, there was even a stable channel to arrange for people to take refuge in the Jing Kingdom, but it required a high fee."

"What's going on now?"

Lan Chang'an secretly thought that he had indeed found the right person. Because of his business dealings with neighboring countries, Li Congren got acquainted with the monk Jing Kingdom Merchant Alliance.

Jing Kingdom As a neutral country, the Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and can even compete with the country's Immortal Cultivation Sect.

"In the past year, the Liang Kingdom sect has been very strict. In the past, the Merchant Alliance Chamber of Commerce could bring several monks back to the Jing Kingdom for each transaction. There was even a special escort organization that used Giant Spirit Warship to transport people illegally and sell ship tickets. Now, this situation has been severely cracked down."

"A few days ago, a stowaway Spirit Boat was captured by the Liang Kingdom sect. All the creatures on the ship were exterminated."

Li Congren spoke solemnly.

Lan Chang'an finally understood that he missed the best time.

A year or two ago, he had just been promoted to Foundation Establishment Late Stage and had not yet entered Ancient Ruins.

"If it is just a severe crackdown by the sect, it will only increase the risk, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver."

"But in the past six months, a considerable part of the important border areas to the Jing Kingdom have been controlled by Demonic Cult's forces."

"Profound Yin Demonic Sect?"

Lan Chang'an thoughtfully said: Due to the wars in the neighboring immortal kingdoms, in the past ten or twenty years, the Demonic Cult force led by Liang Shaotian has resurrected in a chaotic situation and won a good opportunity for development.

"Yes! The Merchant Alliance monks who pass by will only need to pay Demonic Cult tolls. If the monks are taking refuge from the Liang Kingdom to the Jing Kingdom, the treatment is completely different. Once encountered, even if they give all their belongings, they may not be able to save their lives. They will either be captured or killed..."

Li Congren sighed.

Sect attack, Demonic Cult threat, Jie Xiu's killing and looting...

Lan Chang'an has probably clarified his thinking.

"The main road from our area to the Jing Kingdom is controlled by a key figure in Demonic Cult. This person is overbearing and does not act according to common sense, which is a headache."

"Oh, who is the character from Demonic Cult?"

"This person's name is Xiang Jinglong. He was once Liang Kingdom's slightly famous Rogue Cultivator ruthless person. Grandpa Lu should have heard of him."

"I've heard of it."

Lan Chang'an remained calm, with a strange feeling in his heart.

Li Congren continued, "In the early years, Xiang Jinglong was wanted by the Blazing Fire Palace, took refuge in the Profound Yin Demonic Sect, and was cultivated and reused by leader Demonic Cult, and his strength greatly increased."

"Today, this person's Body Refinement Technique has been cultivated to Quasi-Third-Order. His strength far exceeds the ordinary Pseudo-Core True Person. It is difficult to match him with the true elixir."
