Old Acquaintances from Liang Kingdom

"One hundred and fifty-five years old, Foundation Establishment eighth floor."

Lan Chang'an felt the powerful lake of Law Power in his body, which expanded by about 30%.

Since it is not a breakthrough in a small realm, the "quality" of Law Power has not changed significantly, and the improvement in strength is not significant.

Just one step further in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage stage.

"With the current progress of cultivation, reaching the ninth level of Foundation Establishment will make you about one hundred and seventy years old."

Lan Chang'an speculated.

Foundation Establishment has nine layers, which can theoretically impact Golden Core Realm.

However, in order to increase their confidence, most alchemy practitioners will try their best to reach the peak of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. Even if they fail, they will have to consolidate for two or three years.

Back then, Fu Xuemei first entered the ninth level of Foundation Establishment and started Golden Core Realm not long after it was consolidated. Due to the lack of foundation, the quality of the final elixir was affected.

Even so, Fu Xuemei Earth Spiritual Root's qualifications, and after understanding his thoughts, he managed to form a true elixir.

The situation of Lan Chang'an is different.

He wants to take the route of "Core Dissolution and Liquid Reversion, reshape Ningdan", and it will not be achieved overnight.

Golden Core Realm for the first time, there is no need to pursue the ninth level peak of Foundation Establishment.

If the quality of the finished elixir is higher, the difficulty and risk of crushing the inner elixir will be greatly increased.

This is my first Core Dissolution and Liquid Reversion, so I don't have enough experience. To be on the safe side, it's best to form a False Core like Zhang Tieshan.

A few days later, Lan Chang'an left the customs and followed the underground tunnel to the bottom of the deep pool behind the mansion.

First check the growth status of Mystic Wood Gourd Vine.

There are almost no signs of growth on this gourd vine, and the small fruits on it are withered, yellow, black, and lifeless.

"It seems that "Mystic Heaven Gourd" in the Listen-to-the-Sea Pavilion record failed to completely condense..."

Even Lan Chang'an and Evergreen Secret Technique are powerless to do anything about it.

He once spent his longevity to nourish the dead fruit, but the result was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reaction.

Fortunately, the vitality of the gourd vine has been stabilized, and the small green patch on the vine is more conspicuous than before.

Compared with the situation in Ancient Ruins, which was about to die, it is much better.

Lan Chang'an looked at Mystic Water Turtle and entered Evergreen Mana to promote growth.

Over the years, since Mystic Water Turtle has been guarding and irrigating Mystic Wood Gourd Vine, he rarely takes the initiative to suck the residual breath of Lan Chang'an's cultivation.

Lan Chang'an guesses that some kind of benefit brought by Mystic Wood Gourd Vine is more delicious than his own Evergreen Art in Mystic Water Turtle's mind.

With the gains of Evergreen Mana and Mystic Wood Gourd Vine, the growth rate of Mystic Water Turtle is far faster than that of similar products.

For a normal Mystic Water Turtle, it usually takes four to five hundred years to cultivate to the level of true elixir.

Lan Chang'an and Mystic Water Turtle will probably not be used half the time.

"As Earth Grade Bloodline, this turtle's qualifications are far better than Earth Rock Rat, and it also has the unknown benefit of Mystic Wood Gourd Vine. In the future, I wonder what kind of inner elixir it will form?"

Lan Chang'an is looking forward to and curious about this.

Return to the above-ground mansion.

Xia Wenyue is waiting outside the door and needs to see you.

"Come in." Lan Chang'an waved his sleeves and opened the door.

Xia Wenyue bowed his hands and said solemnly, "Mr. Lu, there was a message from the tribe just now, saying that there is a Foundation Establishment monk outside Qingsha Bay visiting you."

"Does that person have a registration number?"

"No, he concealed his appearance." Xia Wenyue replied.

Lan Chang'an is preparing to refuse.

"That person claimed to be your old friend in the Liang Kingdom." Xia Wenyue quickly added.

"Liang Kingdom old friend?"

Lan Chang'an pondered for a moment, finally nodded and ordered Xia Wenyue to bring the man over.

For a brief moment just now, he let Earth Rock Rat go over to investigate and smelled a familiar scent.

The visitor is indeed an old friend, with whom we have a close friendship.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xia Wenyue left and came back, followed by a toga-robed monk wearing a bamboo hat and a green gauze.

The whole body of the man was wrapped in robes, and neither man nor woman could be distinguished.

Xia Wenyue retreated tacitly and closed the door to the side hall.

Lan Chang'an looked at a pair of dark eyes through the bamboo hat and green gauze, and smiled slightly:

"Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for twenty years. How are you?"

Hearing this, the toga-robed monk stiffened for a moment and immediately took off his bamboo hat and green veil.

It was the face of a woman, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old.

The facial features are beautiful, but the crow's feet are obvious, the fair skin has slightly dull spots, and the dark eyes are no longer bright, but there is a calmness and depth that has passed through the years.

Lan Chang'an couldn't help but be startled, as if he couldn't associate the gentle, quiet, beautiful lady with skin as white as snow back then with the "half-aged lady" in front of her.

"It makes Talismans Master Lu laugh. I am old and young, and I cannot afford to be called a "girl" when I get married and have children."

Shen Bixin's voice is peaceful, but the charm can't hide the bitterness and loneliness.

"You don't have to worry about it, fellow Daoist Shen! As cultivators like us, our appearance is not important, it's just a layer of skin."

Lan Chang'an spoke in a gentle tone, smiled and raised his hand, asking Shen Bixin to take a seat.

Shen Bixin is Eldest Miss of the Liang Kingdom Tengxing Chamber of Commerce, who had business dealings and cooperation with Lan Chang'an.

We first met when Jiang Yechen held her unconscious and came to Wuqi Mountain for medical treatment.

Shen Bixin originally fell in love with Jiang Yechen, but was opposed by the elders of the chamber of commerce.

In the end, she married Song Wenshu, who had a good background and a promising future in Lihuo Palace.

When sitting down, Lan Chang'an looked at Shen Bixin calmly and found that her cultivation level was stagnant at the peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"The spirit has declined, and Law Power has become stagnant."

Lan Chang'an judged that this woman should have suffered a backlash due to the Golden Core Realm's failure, resulting in severe damage to her vitality and damage to her body's foundation.

Otherwise, with Shen Bixin's rich net worth, taking beauty-preserving elixirs will prevent your appearance from fading so quickly.

This is not the worst outcome.

It is not unusual for some Golden Core Realm losers to die on the spot or fall into a state of decline.

In fact, Shen Bixin has good qualifications and his background is better than that of ordinary monks.

Logically speaking, the hope of forming False Core is not small.

At least in Lan Chang'an's opinion, there is more hope than Fairy Shi who was not promoted to Third-Order Array Master.

But Cultivation World Things in the world are unpredictable and it is difficult to be absolutely sure. It is normal to fail.

"I wonder how fellow Daoist Song is doing?"

Lan Chang'an doesn't want to expose Shen Bixin's shortcomings, so he changed the topic.

As an elite member of the Blazing Fire Palace, Song Wenshu has a good background and has some friendship with Lan Chang'an.

"Wen Shu... was unfortunately killed in Cultivation War a few years ago."

Shen Bixin's eyes were dim and his face was sad.

"Song Wenshu died in battle?"

Lan Chang'an's expression was stagnant. Unexpectedly, he changed the topic and revealed the scars of Shen Bixin, the widow.

Cultivation War in the Liang Kingdom suffered heavy deaths.

Pseudo-Core True Person, Pseudo-Core True Person, even lost a lot of lives in battle.

The death of the Foundation Establishment Realm is naturally not that noticeable, unless it is a friend who pays special attention to it.

Therefore, Lan Chang'an only learned about the death of Song Wenshu at this time.

"When did Fellow Daoist Shen come Jing Kingdom?"

"The Tengxing Chamber of Commerce where I am located transferred some of my direct lineage and property here long before the war in the Liang Kingdom started... Three years ago, I took my husband's flesh and blood heirs and came to the Jing Kingdom with the direct lineage of the Chamber of Commerce to develop."

Shen Bixin talks about the past a few years ago.

Lan Chang'an sighed secretly, Tengxing Chamber of Commerce was prepared for a rainy day and actually deployed manpower and industry in the Jing Kingdom in advance.

In this way, through the connections here, it will be less difficult to take over the monks from the Liang Kingdom.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is here to conceal his identity this time. Isn't it just to reminisce about old times with Mr. Lu?"

Half an hour later, Lan Chang'an finally got to the point after learning about the ups and downs of Shen Bixin's life for nearly twenty years.

"Talismans Master Lu The favor I owed you back then still counts now?"

Shen Bixin looked directly at Lan Chang'an's expression.

"Do the math."

Lan Chang'an Without a second thought.

He does owe Shen Bixin a favor.

In the past, when Foundation Establishment Middle Stage was here, in order to collect a batch of materials, including hard-to-find third-level materials, to speed up body training and advance to Quasi-Third-Order, he asked the chamber of commerce where Shen Bixin worked for help.

At that time, Shen Bixin did not ask for any reward from Lan Chang'an, only a favor promise from him.

"Talismans Master Lu is indeed of noble character, honest and reliable."

Shen Bixin was pleased and showed a smile for the first time.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Shen wants to fulfill the promise he made back then today?"

"No! I'm not at the end of my rope yet. What I just said is just to verify Talismans Master Lu's character and integrity."

"I came here this time because I was entrusted by someone to act as a go-between. No matter what happens next, I hope Talismans Master Lu can keep it secret."

Shen Bixin looked solemn and switched to voice communication.

Lan Chang'an realized that what Shen Bixin mentioned was a serious matter, so he set up isolation Restriction in place.

The two looked at each other, their lips moved, and they communicated through sound for a long time.

"Blazing Fire Palace Elder Wang's grandson, Wang Feng?"

Lan Chang'an was surprised in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

It turns out that the real name of "Young Master Wang" who was smuggled through the cross-border Spirit Ship back then was actually "Wang Feng", and he was the Earth Spiritual Root genius that Blazing Fire Palace focused on cultivating.

Wang Feng's grandfather "Elder Wang" is Blazing Fire Palace's top three powerful elder, and Late Core Formation's peak cultivation level.

The strength of Elder Wang is definitely higher than that of Lan Chang'an Previous Life.

Wang Feng and Song Wenshu know each other and are the friends and clinging partners of the latter.

Shen Bixin married Blazing Fire Palace, and she also had a relationship with Wang Feng.

Just a few months ago, "Young Master Wang", who had recovered to the level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, found Shen Bixin and asked for his help.

Young Master Wang wants two things from me:

First, use the channels of the Jing Kingdom local chamber of commerce to return Liang Kingdom Blazing Fire Palace.

Secondly, he wanted to find a skilled pharmacist to recuperate his body and repair the hidden wounds caused by his decline in cultivation.

If I can help, Young Master Wang will be grateful, and I can also get favors from Late Core Formation Daxiu in the future.

"My chamber of commerce has a shallow foundation in the Jing Kingdom and is barely able to gain a foothold. It is rejected by hostile forces. Both of Young Master Wang's requests are ineffective."

Shen Bixin sound transmission channel.

Lan Chang'an's eyes flickered slightly, revealing Shen Bixin's selfishness.

The parentage relationship of Song Wenshu is Blazing Fire Palace, and Shen Bixin gave birth to his heir.

If we can connect with Young Master Wang and Elder Wang, it will definitely be beneficial to the descendants of Shen Bixin.

It is true that the war situation is not favorable for the Blazing Fire Palace.

However, even if a behemoth like Nascent Soul-level sect is defeated and withdraws from the Liang Kingdom, its heritage and inheritance far exceed that of a sect like Golden Cloud Valley.

"I'm afraid Lu can't reach such big figures as Elder Wang and Young Master Wang..."

Lan Chang'an declined politely.

In this matter, Shen Bixin was simply acting as a middleman and did not waste any favors.

Lan Chang'an has no shortage of Spirit Stone and Cultivation Method, and Golden Core Realm has everything in place, so he has no intention of clinging to the lineage of Elder Wang and Young Master Wang.

Young Master Wang was once hunted by the forces of Demonic Cult. This matter involves certain risks.

"Young Master Wang said that if Talismans Master Lu agrees to help, his reward will include a piece of third-level high-grade Spirit Bamboo."

Shen Bixin added.

Hearing this, Lan Chang'an couldn't help but move.

It is not easy to get the third-level high-grade Spirit Bamboo and Previous Life Golden Core Realm.

Lan Chang'an At the largest auction of the Liang Kingdom, Third-Order Mid-Grade Spirit Wood was auctioned. At that time, I was not sure about refining the third-level talisman embryo of Treasure Talisman, and I still have it.

Treasure Talisman, which started at the third level, would have immeasurable power if used for cultivation.

In addition, Cultivation Method of Lan Chang'an is Wood Element. Using third-level high-grade Spirit Bamboo as the main material, excellent Wood Element Law Treasure can be refined.

"If Talismans Master Lu is interested, go to Seek Immortal Mansion Inn of Yunyan Immortal City within half a month... At that time, Young Master Wang will negotiate with you in person."

"Well, let me think about it."

Lan Chang'an makes no promises.

He had some doubts in his heart. How could Young Master Wang, who he had seen many years ago, be in such a miserable state, be able to receive such a generous reward now?

After talking about business, the atmosphere relaxed.

The two stopped talking to each other and talked about the past, simply reminiscing about the past.

In the past, Three Peak Masters, Lan Chang'an, Fairy Shi, and Ye Fei of Wuqi Mountain all had a good relationship with Shen Bixin and had cooperation relationships.

At that time, Shen Bixin was quiet, gentle, and generous, which even moved Small Pill Peak's Ye Fei.

"By the way, how is Fellow Daoist Jiang doing?"

Lan Chang'an Suddenly thought of Jiang Yechen, Shen Bixin men who really love each other.

Jiang Yechen possesses the soul treasure. Without his help to repair Fairy Shi's memory, Lan Chang'an and Ancient Ruins would not be able to obtain the important fortuitous opportunity of Ancient Ruins.

At least, Fairy Shi didn't become Third-Order Array Master so smoothly.

"Jiang Yechen... How can I be qualified to see him again?"

Speaking of this person, Shen Bixin looked downcast, his cheeks were no longer as delicate as before, and the wrinkles on his brows became more obvious.

Lan Chang'an heard something unusual in the words.

Shen Bixin didn't mean "I don't have the face to see him again", but there was unconcealable regret and loss in his tone.

"A few years ago, after he had been promoted to True Alchemy, he rejected the invitations from the Liang Kingdom's major sects, and then traveled to other countries..."

"Jiang Yechen, promoted to true elixir?"

Lan Chang'an was moved and couldn't help but look at Shen Bixin.

He simply stroked it.

Back then, Shen Bixin gave up his true love Jiang Yechen and married Song Wenshu, who had a better background and more promising prospects.

As a result, Song Wenshu was killed in battle, leaving Shen Bixin as a widow.

And Jiang Yechen, who was considered to have an extreme temperament and was not favored back then, actually formed a true elixir!

What's more subtle is.

Jiang Yechen's promotion to the true elixir and Song Wenshu's death, these two things... seemed to have happened in those few years.

Jiang Yechen, Lan Chang'an is the first old friend in this world to confirm the news and form a true elixir.

Although the relationship between the two is very ordinary.

In addition, there is another Zhang Tieshan, but there is no news about it in these years.

The difficulty of the true elixir is much higher than False Core.

It can be seen from time to time in many Immortal City and Pseudo-Core True Person, but it is difficult to access the real elixir.

Shen Bixin was unhappy and quickly said goodbye.

Lan Chang'an knows that this is because her scar was exposed.

But he really didn't mean it.

Who knew in advance that Shen Bixin's life in the past twenty years would be so tortuous.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, take care."

Lan Chang'an watched Shen Bixin's emaciated figure, covered by loose clothes, bamboo hat and green gauze, fly out of Autumn Wind Island.

Shen Bixin visited with his identity hidden because he was worried about Young Master Wang and implicated Lan Chang'an.

According to her, Young Master Wang faced intense pursuit in the early years. Although Merchant Alliance was not wanted openly, some chamber of commerce forces secretly cooperated with Demonic Cult's actions.

In recent years, the situation has become much more relaxed, and the intensity of pursuits has dropped significantly.

Young Master Wang recovered most of his cultivation and gained a chance to breathe.

Seven days later.

Lan Chang'an declared to be in seclusion, leaving behind the phantom aura simulated by "Illusion Truth Talisman" in Secret Chamber.

He himself used Earth Rock Rat's earth escape ability to leave Qingsha Bay Xia Clan without anyone noticing.

If Earth Rock Rat is promoted to the third level, Lan Chang'an will avoid negotiating with Young Master Wang in his true identity.

After all, it involves the upper echelons of the Liang Kingdom sect.

Now I have less worries.

Attracted by the third-level high-grade spiritual wood, he didn't mind meeting Young Master Wang.

Yunyan Immortal City, Seek Immortal Mansion Inn.

This is where Lan Chang'an and the down-and-out Young Master Wang first met Jing Kingdom.

However, Young Master Wang had no idea who Lan Chang'an was at that time.

Seek Immortal Mansion's formation Restriction can only hinder Pseudo-Core True Person's Divine Sense exploration at most.

This cannot stop Lan Chang'an who owns Nine Imprint Tablet. With the blessing of Previous Life Soul Imprint, Divine Sense, a true elixir level, quickly discovered the truth and the truth.

"This Young Master Wang has been hunted for a long time, so he has learned to be cautious."

Lan Chang'an discovered that in the room where Seek Immortal Mansion agreed to meet, there was also a shadow left behind by a phantom.

The real Young Master Wang is pretending to be a servant of the inn, secretly keeping an eye on the guest room.

Lan Chang'an confirms that there is no ambush around the Seek Immortal Mansion.

The person with the highest cultivation level living in the inn is Pseudo-Core True Person, who is playing with a pair of twin female cultivators.

Lan Chang'an did not follow the rhythm of Young Master Wang.

He opened a superior guest room at the Seek Immortal Mansion, then walked over to him and asked Young Master Wang to come and serve his room.

"Boy, come to the uncle's room for a massage and a back massage! If you serve well, you will be rewarded Spirit Stone."

Young Master Wang The servant pretending to be a servant looked at the bearded man in front of him in a daze.

The nearby servants and maids couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts as they watched Young Master Wang with small arms and thin legs being pulled by the bearded man into the superior guest room.

The superior guest rooms of the Seek Immortal Mansion are independent houses.

In the hall, Lan Chang'an and Young Master Wang stared at each other with big eyes.

"Sir, you are..."

"Yes, I am the person you want to see."

Lan Chang'an's figure's aura changed and turned into its original appearance.

"I'm not just Wang Feng, I've seen Talismans Master Lu."

Young Master Wang took off his turban and bowed his hands in greeting. His face blurred for a while, revealing the face of a handsome man with sharp edges.

This is completely different from the proud young man with oily hair and pink face in the Jiuchen Merchant Association Spirit Ship.

The other party definitely didn't show his true face at that time, and even his last name was fake.

Lan Chang'an I don't know what the original Young Master Wang really looked like.

However, after more than ten years of ups and downs, normal people's temperaments will change.

"Young Master Wang, there is something unclear about Mr. Lu, please give me some advice."

Lan Chang'an took the initiative and spoke first, secretly observing the status of Young Master Wang.

"Talismans Master Lu Excuse me."

Wang Feng has a humble attitude and does not have the arrogance of the Blazing Fire Palace True Disciple, the grandson of the elder.

"I heard from Fellow Daoist Shen that Young Master Wang wants to return to the Liang Kingdom Blazing Fire Palace? Today's Liang Kingdom Cultivation World is in an unfavorable battle situation, chaotic and dangerous. This is not a good choice."

Putting it in my perspective, Lan Chang'an is definitely not willing to return to the Liang Kingdom, unless there is something extremely important that makes it necessary.

Hearing this, Wang Feng smiled heartily:

"Talismans Master Lu makes sense! Not long ago, I changed my mind and decided not to reply to the Liang Kingdom!"
