Cold Soul Jade Marrow

After hearing this, Lan Chang'an finally understood that his true identity has been known to the Five Blessings Merchant Association.

Five Blessings Merchant Association and New Moon Merchant Association have an opposing relationship, and it is inevitable that there will be internal interactions between them.

New Moon Merchant Association investigated the true identity of Lan Chang'an. This matter is not considered top secret in the chamber of commerce.

"Wu knows a senior Talisman Master, whose surname is Lu and whose first name is Chang'an. He is also from the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World. What is the goal your chamber of commerce is pursuing?"

Lan Chang'an has a calm face.

"That's right! It's that Talismans Master Lu."

Xia Mingqu's eyes were shining and he was amazed.

"Young Master Xia Wait a moment, I'll ask that friend to come out and see you."

Lan Chang'an After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the main hall where guests were greeted.

About ten breaths later.

A tall, quiet and gentle young man in white clothes walked into the hall.

Xia Mingqu was slightly startled, with a smile on his face, and stood up to salute:

"Xia Mingqu, I have long admired the name Talismans Master Lu."

"Young Master Xia is ridiculous, Lu just has a slight name in the Liang Kingdom, and is placed in the Jing Kingdom Cultivation World. Not many people know him."

Lan Chang'an replied politely.

"This..."

Not far away, Xia Wenyue looked at the indifferent and peaceful man in white, and couldn't help but stayed for a moment, looking at a loss.

For a moment, she couldn't connect the slightly greasy-faced middle-aged man in her memory with the handsome and refined man in white in front of her.

"Aunt Wen Yue, I will take Daoist Lu to see the clan leader first."

Xia Mingqu said to her.

"Well, okay..."

Xia Wenyue then reacted, his face as pale as snow turned a light red, and he lowered his head and responded.

Lan Chang'an and Xia Mingqu walked out of the hall side by side.

"Talismans Master Lu, I heard that you have a Spirit Pet mount, which is the Mystic Water Turtle of Earth Grade Bloodline?"

Xia Mingqu looked curious and asked with a smile.

The nicknames Lan Chang'an and "Turtle Talisman Master" spread widely among the Liang Kingdom, partly because they raised Mystic Water Turtle, which grew extremely slowly.

"That's right, let you come out and get some air."

Lan Chang'an waved his sleeves and waved in the direction of the deep pool.

Poof! Wow!

A dozen breaths later, a dark green Big Turtle leapt out of the pool, causing a surging blue water wave.

Lan Chang'an smiled lightly, and his body fell on Mystic Water Turtle's back, standing with his hands behind his back, facing the wind and waves.

"Daoist Lu is as charming as a fairy."

With envy in Xia Mingqu's eyes, he took Lan Chang'an and flew to the center of Qingsha Bay clan land.

Along the way, the female cultivator Xia Clan I met couldn't help but look at the man in white who was riding a turtle.

"Cousin Famous Songs, who is this?"

A dignified and beautiful female cultivator in blue came flying towards her, her eyes flashed with brilliance, and she saw an extraordinary man in white on Big Turtle.

"Sheng Lan, you actually know each other..."

Xia Mingqu is a little embarrassed. Lan Chang'an's identity information is currently only known to a few senior executives in the Xia Clan.

He secretly sent a message and explained the situation to Xia Shenglan.

"Sheng Lan girl."

Lan Chang'an nodded and said hello.

He remembered that when he saved this girl, he had never seen such a bright light in her eyes today.

"Wu Fan...Lan Chang'an..."

Xia Shenglan was stunned for a long time, watching Feng Shen's handsome figure in white as he rode the turtle away.

Qingsha Bay Xia Clan Hinterland.

Water Curtain Cave, waterfall pouring.

This is the area with the strongest concentration of the Xia Clan Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, reaching a quasi-Third-Order Spiritual Vein level.

"Five Blessings Merchant Association, is there a clever Formation Vein Master who can mediate Spirit Vein and cultivate the Spirit Vein level?"

Lan Chang'an thought secretly.

Five years ago, when Lan Chang'an first came to Water Curtain Cave, the Spiritual Qi environment here was a little worse than it is now.

Of course, for Pseudo-Core True Person, this difference is of little significance.

Most of Cultivation World False Core cannot improve their realm, so they only need to maintain their cultivation level without declining.

Therefore, some Pseudo-Core True Person will choose to develop Lineage to have free time to take care of mundane things or pursue hedonism.

There are only a few False Core who have not given up on the road and are seeking further hope. fortuitous opportunity.

"Daoist Lu Please come in, the clan leader is waiting."

Xia Mingqu was guarding outside Water Curtain Cave and did not go in.

In a Stone Hall in Water Curtain Cave, Lan Chang'an once again met the patriarch of the Xia Clan, Xia Hongyu.

"Haha, Daoist Lu Disguise Technique is brilliant, but Xia was mistaken before."

Xia Hongyu is a monk who is good at maintaining health. He is over two hundred years old, but he has a handsome face, fair skin, and only his hair is slightly gray.

If you get up close and personal, you can feel the aura of vicissitudes of life in him.

"It's just a fluke. Lu is just relying on a disguised foreign object, which is not fair."

Lan Chang'an was neither humble nor overbearing, and sat down under the hospitality of Xia Hongyu.

During this meeting, Xia Hongyu felt like we were treating each other as equals, and personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

Lan Chang'an knows that a very capable Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and possibly a quasi-Third-Order Talisman Master, can fully afford such treatment.

"Daoist Lu, this is your Second-Order Spirit Contract."

Xia Hongyu took out a copy of Spirit Contract Scroll and showed it in front of Lan Chang'an.

Phew!

Immediately, a handful of flames ignited, burning this Second-Order Spirit Contract of the Five Blessings Merchant Association into ashes.

Lan Chang'an moved slightly, Xia Hongyu did this to show sincerity.

The Spirit Contract signed that year was somewhat forced by circumstances.

Burning this Spirit Contract, Xia Clan is considered to have given up the greatest means of restraint.

"Daoist Lu has stayed in Qingsha Bay for many years and has never left. Would you like to become the worshiper of Qingsha Bay Xia Clan? Don't worry about the salary. Please refer to Alchemist, the most senior Five Blessings Merchant Association. If you have any conditions, you can put forward any conditions."

Xia Hongyu spoke in a gentle tone and cast a kind look.

"Then let's talk about the specific obligations of making offerings. Lu's main purpose of coming to your place is to take refuge and practice..."

Lan Chang'an said bluntly.

The salary can be appropriately lower, but you should not be subject to too many restrictions, nor should you spend too much energy on drawing talismans and refining elixirs.

Half an hour later, Lan Chang'an and Xia Hongyu agreed on the terms.

From now on, Lan Chang'an became the worshiper of Qingsha Bay Xia Clan, mainly refining some high-quality Talisman and giving guidance to the apprentices.

The original duty of refining alchemy is Lan Chang'an. If you are in a good mood, you can refine some at will.

The chief helmsman of the Five Blessings Merchant Association has trained a second-level young man Alchemist in recent years. He is no longer very dependent on Lan Chang'an in this regard.

In terms of remuneration, Xia Clan promises to provide Lan Chang'an with top-grade Spirit Vein, Dao Field, second-grade Spiritual Rice, animal food and other material supplies. Spirit Stone's salary has been increased several times.

"If Daoist Lu gets used to living in Autumn Wind Island, I will ask Formation Vein Master of Merchant Association Headquarters to help guide Spirit Vein's connections, invest in Spirit Stone, and transform your Dao Field into an environment of Second-Order High-Grade."

Xia Hongyu suggested.

"Then I'll bother the clan leader." Lan Chang'an did not refuse the kindness.

Although Spirit Vein can be cultivated and improved, it is very slow.

In a short period of time, if you want to upgrade the Spirit Vein of Autumn Wind Island to Second-Order High-Grade, you must sacrifice one or two other parts of Qingsha Bay and Spirit Vein of Dao Field.

Previously, Lan Chang'an combined with Spirit Gathering Formation and invested some Spirit Stone could enjoy the top-grade Spirit Vein environment.

Save money now.

If combined with Spirit Gathering Formation and Spirit Stone, the Spiritual Qi environment in the local area can be improved by half a level.

Especially at the bottom of the pool, which is connected to the earth's veins, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is more active. That's where Mystic Water Turtle and Earth Rock Rat often stay.

Autumn Wind Island's Spiritual Qi environment, even if it is upgraded to a higher level, is not enough for Demon Beast to practice unscrupulously the true elixir.

Fortunately, Earth Rock Rat is proficient in escaping from the ground and can rub Spiritual Qi in the mineral veins everywhere underground. You can even go under the hinterland of Qingsha Bay and rub the richer Quasi-Third-Order Spiritual Qi.

Anyway, Earth Rock Rat has a lifespan of five to six hundred years. When Third-Order Great Demon was born, Lan Chang'an didn't expect it to improve quickly.

It is not unusual for a true elixir monk or Third-Order Great Demon at this level to have a small realm card for hundreds of years.

Xia Hongyu personally sent Lan Chang'an to Water Curtain Cave.

Xia Mingqu, who was standing outside, had a strange color in his eyes.

The patriarch's importance to Lan Chang'an exceeded his expectations.

"Lan Chang'an's disguise and the "Void-Piercing True Eye" secret technique that deceived me back then are even more extraordinary than the information collected from the Liang Kingdom..."

Returning to Water Curtain Cave, Xia Hongyu spoke calmly and answered Xia Mingqu's doubts.

Lan Chang'an stepped on Big Turtle and returned to the Autumn Wind Island mansion with his original identity.

No longer having to wear a mask all year round, Lan Chang'an feels comfortable and suddenly becomes enlightened.

"I've met Senior Lu."

Drug boys Xia Mingcheng and Xia Wenyue have changed their names and are more respectful than before.

Obviously, they learned the true identity of Lan Chang'an from other channels.

"No gift."

Lan Chang'an took a look at the thin girl with her head lowered and eyebrows furrowed, her face was as pale as ever and she looked frail.

Lan Chang'an remembered the previous conversation with Xia Hongyu, and the other party mentioned Xia Wenyue.

Xia Hongyu learned from the information that Lan Chang'an not only knows how to maintain health, but also has some experience in medical skills, and is good at warming and treating underlying diseases.

"If Daoist Lu has some free time, I hope to take a look at Wen Yue's condition."

At that time, Xia Hongyu just mentioned it casually and didn't seem to have much hope.

Goodbye Xia Wenyue at this moment, Lan Chang'an's heart moved.

However, he thought that Xia Wenyue had rejected his kindness once, and his interest in it was greatly reduced.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.

Unconsciously, Lan Chang'an came to the Jing Kingdom Cultivation World for seven or eight years.

His age has also crossed the important threshold of one hundred and fifty years old.

At one hundred and fifty years old, for other foundation-building monks, there is little hope of forming a pill in this life.

In the future, body functions will begin to decline, and the success rate of the Golden Core Realm will drop significantly.

Of course, there are no absolutes in Cultivation World, and nothing is impossible.

Those monks who practice Longevity Cultivation Art can prolong their life and maintain good physical condition. If they take Premium Longevity Pill again, the situation of the Golden Core Realm in later years will occur in every era.

If the opportunity is unfavorable, taking the legendary spiritual objects of heaven and earth can directly extend your life by a period of sixty years, or even rejuvenate your youth. There are many records in ancient books.

"Talismans Master Lu, Xia Wenyue passed out."

On this day, Lan Chang'an was checking the growth status of medicinal materials in Medicine Garden, and the medicine boy Xia Mingcheng hurriedly came to report it.

"Collapsed again? Did you give her any elixir?"

Lan Chang'an is not surprised by Xia Wenyue's fainting situation. It has happened almost once or twice every year during the years that Autumn Wind Island has been stationed in Autumn Wind Island.

This woman's body is yin and cold. She has been sick since she was a child and can only barely maintain her cultivation.

Lan Chang'an originally thought that this situation would be improved after her cultivation level improved.

As a result, after practicing Xia Wenyue to Qi Refining Late-Stage, the condition did not reverse at all, but the coldness in the body became worse.

"After taking the medicine, her condition was a little abnormal this time. She didn't wake up for a long time."

Xia Mingcheng added.

"Where was she unconscious?"

"At the pharmacy."

Lan Chang'an couldn't help but think deeply.

In the past two or three years, Five Blessings Merchant Association has experienced internal turmoil and is competing with the Xin Family for power.

The external trading industry has been suppressed by the New Moon Merchant Association.

The relationship between the Xia Clan and Xin Family dropped to freezing point after returning from Xia Shenglan.

Later, Xia Clan accidentally found evidence that New Moon Merchant Association was supporting Xin Family, and there was an overt or covert fight.

Xin Family admitted that he received help from the New Moon Merchant Association, but it was a normal transaction and there was no betrayal or betrayal of the interests of the chamber of commerce.

Internal and external strife, coupled with the spread of wars in neighboring countries, brought more instability. The Chamber of Commerce inevitably suffered casualties from fighting, resulting in a shortage of medicine.

Xia Wenyue follows the way of a pharmacist.

In terms of medical skills and pharmacology, he is the first person among the younger generation. He prepares a large number of wound medicines for Lineage, so it is inevitable that he has been a little busy recently.

Not long after, Lan Chang'an followed the medicine boy to a pharmacy near the alchemy room.

In the pharmacy, a weak girl wearing a light blue smoke gauze skirt and eyebrows like indigo fainted on the ground.

Chen Yuluoyan's face was sickly pale, and his lips were blue and trembling slightly.

Lan Chang'an stretched out his hand and put it on her smooth forehead, feeling a chill like frost.

Lan Chang'an frowned slightly, and then held her slender wrist, which was as cool as jade, and could clearly see the transparent light blue blood vessels under the crystal skin.

"The cold air eroded the meridians and organs, and over time, I became terminally ill."

Lan Chang'an draws preliminary conclusions.

Under such symptoms, Xia Wenyue could still barely maintain his cultivation, study medicine, and take care of the common things on the island, which was beyond his expectation.

If it were any other monk, his meridians would have been blocked long ago and he would have become a disabled person.

Lan Chang'an uses Evergreen Mana to help Xia Wenyue dissolve the condensed cold air in the body.

During this process, he discovered that Xia Wenyue had a deep hidden disease in his belly button.

"Could it be that the root of the disease was brought from the mother's womb?"

Lan Chang'an speculated.

Half an hour later, Lan Chang'an dispersed the stagnant cold air in Xia Wenyue's body.

At this time, the girl was coughing in a coma, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body temperature began to rise.

"Huh?"

Lan Chang'an was about to let go of his hand when he suddenly found that cold and cold energy began to slowly grow in Xia Wenyue's body.

Where does the cold air come from?

Lan Chang'an felt puzzled and pinched the girl's slender wrist with two fingers, faintly feeling the coolness coming from the bones.

"The cold has been stagnant for so many years, wouldn't her bones be..."

Lan Chang'an checked the bones of Xia Wenyue, again out of expectation.

The girl's bones were as slender as jade, with a sense of crystal clearness. Although there was a sense of coolness, the expected coldness did not hurt the bones.

This coolness makes people calm and clear, which is different from the cold and cold air accumulated in the body.

No root cause of disease was found in the bones.

Lan Chang'an uses Divine Sense to support Evergreen Mana, and examines the girl's upper body until her head.

"There is a chill in my soul..."

If it weren't for Lan Chang'an Divine Sense's powerful inspection, I would have almost overlooked it.

Xia Wenyue's soul Sea of Consciousness felt a chill, as if it could frostbite Divine Sense.

"Hanso... Jade Bone... Is this some kind of Innate Dao Body?"

Lan Chang'an tries hard to recall the memories of Previous Life.

Finally, "Cold Soul Jade Marrow" recorded in an ancient book was more consistent with some of the symptoms of Xia Wenyue.

Innate Dao Body, also known as Innate Treasure Body, is an innate constitution independent of Spirit Root.

Lan Chang'an Previous Life has very little contact. In this life, I only heard about the Liang Kingdom's genius "Tuoba Jin", who owned Innate Treasure Body, and later reluctantly formed Golden Core.

"Xiao Ming, you go and do your work first. Wen Yue's condition is more serious and needs further care with Law Power."

Lan Chang'an waved his hand and told the drug boy Xia Mingcheng to retreat.

According to the records in his Previous Life ancient book, the owner of Innate Dao Body like "Cold Soul Jade Marrow" can only survive and develop if he is born into a female cultivator.

And before you succeed in cultivation, you must try your best to conceal it from the outside world, otherwise it may lead to death.
