The Foremost Cultivator

After a while, Li Congren took back the respectful etiquette. The action just now seemed to be paying tribute to the passing ancestor Mu Family.

Mu Changxiu was shocked and turned around to take a look: Mu Bingyun had indeed expired and passed away with a peaceful expression.

After the grief, Mu Changxiu sent a message to give instructions, and preparations for the funeral had been made in advance.

"Li True Person, was Grandpa Lu here just now?"

Mu Changxiu asked in a tight tone.

It is absolutely unusual for Li Congren to be treated with such respect by Pseudo-Core True Person.

Although Mu Bingyun is considered half an elder, it is not enough for Li Congren to lower his profile so low.

The two young men from the Xuemei Mountain Li Clan also looked at their grandfather curiously.

"Perhaps, only Aunt Bing knows."

Li Congren shook his head and looked directly at Mu Changxiu indifferently, making the latter feel embarrassed that his thoughts had been read.

Among the Jade Moon Lake Mu Family, Mu Bingyun is the last monk who has a deep connection with True Person Changqing.

When Mu Changxiu was a teenager, he was led by his mother and met True Person Changqing. At that time, he even received a meeting gift from the other party.

After that, there was no more communication.

Nowadays, Mu Family is declining day by day, and crisis is lurking.

Mu Changxiu is eager to see the Rogue Cultivator True Person who left legendary stories in the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World.

Li Congren Mid-Grade Spiritual Root, with similar qualifications to him, why can they form False Core?

This is not only the financial resources, but also the help fortuitous opportunity brought by Treasure Seeking Rat in the early stage.

More than a hundred years ago, Lan Chang'an of the Foundation Establishment Realm went to the Jing Kingdom for refuge and owed Li Congren a favor.

Many years later, True Person Changqing, who returned to the Liang Kingdom, deliberately stayed one night at Xuemei Mountain, which frightened the hostile forces "Dongmen Family" and took the initiative to apologize and turn enemies into friends.

That night, not only Lan Chang'an, but also Zhang Tianfeng, the current helmsman of Golden Cloud Valley, stayed at Xuemei Mountain!

Since then, Xuemei Mountain Li Clan has not only resolved the trouble, but also gained a great reputation in the surrounding areas. Its chambers of commerce and industries have developed more smoothly.

Before Li Congren was promoted to False Core, there were as many as ten Foundation Establishment monks from the Xuemei Mountain Chamber of Commerce, including several worshippers.

Due to this layer of protection, coupled with the alliance with the Beast Taming Zhou Family, Xuemei Mountain has a good background, so Li Congren can obtain Crystal Condensation Pill and Golden Core Realm spiritual objects.

This is not just speculation by Mu Changxiu. The context of relevant deeds has been stated in biographies such as <Legend of Changqing> and <Travels of the Profound Turtle>.

Especially <Legend of Changqing> was highly praised: the biography believes that Lan Chang'an is expected to become "Liang Kingdom the first Rogue Cultivator". Later, he escaped from the Fengyuan Kingdom, either to keep a low profile or to avoid powerful enemies, and voluntarily gave up such false reputations.

In the cave, Mu Changxiu asked again and again, suspecting that Li Congren was hiding something.

"Little brother Changxiu, you can't force this matter."

Li Congren frowned slightly and his tone became more serious, which frightened the latter into bowing repeatedly.

Mu Changxiu sighed bitterly, knowing that he couldn't force it, he was just taking a chance.

He was not reconciled: the friendship between True Person Changqing and Jade Moon Lake was cut off from his own generation.

On that day, Li Congren and his two young descendants were guests in the courtyard of Moon Heart Island's single-family guest house.

"Grandpa, without True Person Changqing's permission, you hired someone to compile his biography. Would he be unhappy if his elders knew about it?"

One of the girls in the purple dress is Li Congren's favorite granddaughter. Her sparkling black eyes reveal her curiosity about the legendary figure.

It turns out that <Legend of Changqing> and <Travels of the Profound Turtle> in the mainstream version of Cultivation World were both compiled by Li Congren.

"Ahem! Some of the biographies circulating on the market at that time smeared True Person Changqing. Grandpa, I was protecting his image as an old man. I believe Grandpa Lu will not blame him."

Li Congren coughed slightly and explained.

He didn't lie. A few unpopular men of letters actually smeared Grandpa Lu and ran around like turtles.

Or maybe Grandpa Lu is portrayed as an infatuated person and written into a raunchy harem romance novel.

The biographies compiled by him correct the historical truth!

Describe Lan Chang'an as a wonderful person in the world who is indifferent to fame and fortune, has high integrity and is not harmed by beauty.

The so-called running away is to assess the situation in a low-key manner, look far-sighted, and finally have the last laugh.

Even if there is an occasional romance, it is because all the fairies are conquered by the charm of True Person Changqing and are willing to become passers-by in his legendary life of cultivating immortals.

"More than fifty years..."

In the guest room, Li Congren looked up at the moon, feeling sad. Thinking back to the last time he met Grandpa Lu, it was exactly a year ago.

In the eyes of the world, True Person Changqing disappeared for more than fifty years after the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World.

There are only some inaccurate rumors. Some say that he was buried in the vast sea of sand, while others say that he took refuge in the Fengyuan Kingdom and will return when the war is over.

Now, ten or twenty years after the end of Demonic Path War, True Person Changqing still has not returned.

Phew!

The lights in the house suddenly went out, and a cool breeze blew out of thin air.

Li Congren felt a chill in his heart and his body was stiff and cold.

After the strange wind passed, he had a Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand.

After listening to Sound Transmission Talisman's content, Li Congren looked overjoyed.

Stay until late at night.

He flew away from Moon Heart Island alone and sneaked into the Jadeite Villa by the lake.

Jadeite Villa is the place where Mu Family people from the middle and lower classes practice.

When they were young, Lan Chang'an and Li Erqing had been dormant here for many years.

Especially Old Ancestor Erqing, married here and gave birth to many descendants.

In the small courtyard by the lake, there is a True Person Changqing that belonged to his boyhood and is still well preserved.

Li Congren took a deep breath and sneaked into True Person Changqing's former residence.

From the outside, the former residence of True Person Changqing is dark and silent.

Stepping into the small courtyard, Li Congren found that the house was lit with lights.

Squeak!

The door of the study room opened automatically, and sitting in front of the desk was a man in white who was as quiet as jade and handsome as a scholar.

It is the familiar figure whose appearance remains unchanged in Li Congren's memory.

"Unfilial junior Li Congren, pay my respects to Grandpa Lu."

Li Congren floated into the study and bowed.

At this time, he discovered that there was a female cultivator in a green skirt wearing a veil on the back of Grandpa Lu, bringing tea that had been brewed.

The female cultivator in Tsing Yi has an ordinary appearance, elegant manners, and Law Power has a profound aura that makes Li Congren unable to tell. I am afraid she is a true alchemy female cultivator.

Lan Chang'an raised his hand, motioning for Li Congren to take a seat, and looked at him with a smile:

"Yes, with your qualifications, you can cultivate to False Core. You are worthy of being Erqing's most valued grandson."

In fact, Lan Chang'an calculated against Peacock Saintess fifteen or sixteen years ago, and when he came to the Liang Kingdom, he discovered that Li Congren had formed False Core.

Looking at the huge number of monks in Cultivation World, Mid-Grade Spiritual Root formed False Core. Although it is not common, it is not an exaggeration.

In the eyes of the Golden Core Realm overhaul and Nascent Soul True Lord, it is not worth mentioning.

Unless it is Low-Grade Spiritual Root and forms Nascent Soul, it can be counted as Son of Luck.

"Being smart and stupid, he failed to form the true elixir. I am ashamed of Grandpa Lu for his guidance and care."

Li Congren spoke sincerely, with a somewhat regretful tone.

Back then, I saw the majesty of Zhendan monks at Xuemei Mountain, and realized the huge gap in strength and status between False Core and Zhendan.

At that time, he made a wish that if he could get Golden Core Realm in the future, he would definitely try to form a true elixir.

It's a pity that I didn't take the last half step after all.

"Haha, Congren's achievement is that he is already the first official descendant of Li Erqing. You are good at running Lineage. If there is no true elixir in this generation, there may not be one in the future."

Lan Chang'an has previously calculated that Xuemei Mountain Li Clan's luck is much better than Jade Moon Lake's.

Even if Li Congren achieves False Core and Lineage are so prosperous, the Xuemei Mountain line is still a growing trend.

Of course, for this type of immortal cultivator Lineage, who usually give birth to true elixir monks, they are basically at the ceiling, and it is difficult to break through.

After chatting for a while, Lan Chang'an asked Li Congren about the Liang Kingdom Cultivation World.

In the meantime, Green-Skirted Woman also asked a question, and Li Congren answered it in detail without asking about the former's identity.

Xing Peng's relationship, Lan Chang'an doesn't want Fairy Ni Yue to know about it.

Li Congren operates a chamber of commerce, including some cross-immortal business, and has better information than ordinary monks.

Through Li Congren, Fairy Ni Yue, we learned about the situation of the Profound Sound Pavilion Mountain Gate in the past.

The former mountain gate was occupied by the Golden Core Realm sect that had moved from the original Feng Kingdom, and belonged to the Golden Sun Sect camp.

This sect is powerful and even more powerful than Golden Cloud Valley.

It is almost impossible to get back the old mountain gate in Fairy Ni Yue's lifetime.

Lan Chang'an asked about Peacock Saintess's current situation.

Li Congren groaned. "Peacock Demoness is still detained in the Golden Sun Sect. Beast King Valley is not threatened, and is not willing to give up sincere chips. Killing this woman will not do any good to the Golden Sun Sect..."

Lan Chang'an smiled knowingly when he heard the words.

Peacock Saintess's current situation is very embarrassing.

You can't go back, and you can't die.

Law Power is banned, unable to practice, and his cultivation will even slowly decline.

"However, Beast King Valley's "True Lord Wanhe" secretly sent someone to intercede, and perhaps gave Golden Sun Sect a promise of benefits, so that Peacock Demoness could operate in a small area at the Golden Sun Sect's mountain gate, become a maid, and do some servants' work. Life is a little easier than before..."

"Becoming a maid?"

Lan Chang'an was worried at first that Peacock Saintess might escape after gaining some freedom.

Later it was learned that Peacock Saintess was not only imprisoned by Law Power, but also had hinge locks on his feet, which were refined by Nascent Soul True Lord himself.

Once you try to leave Golden Sun Sect, Restriction will have an attack and life will be worse than death.

Many guests of the Golden Sun Sect would even go to the outer mountains to admire Peacock Saintess's grace as a maid.

Peacock Saintess endured the humiliation silently and remained silent.

If Lan Chang'an goes to visit Golden Sun Sect, he can see Peacock Saintess, but he is not allowed to come in contact with her.

Lan Chang'an speculated that Golden Sun Sect was worried that Beast King Valley would really unify the surrounding countries in the future, so he did not dare to really harm Peacock Saintess.

This leaves room for maneuver in the future and avoids targeted liquidation and retaliation.

If the same sect is defeated and relocated, but is targeted by Beast King Valley senior officials, the difficulty will be completely different.

Half an hour later, Li Congren bowed and left with a rosy complexion.

Before leaving.

Li Congren From Lan Chang'an, you can buy the relatively affordable Tier 3 Talisman and the third-level low-grade Puppet.

Lan Chang'an asked him to do two things.

First, to the best of one's ability, Li Congren had better take care of the Mu Family.

The friendship between Lan Chang'an and Mu Family gradually broke off.

However, the bloodline of Li Erqing is closely related to the bloodline of the Jade Moon Lake Mu Family.

Without Jade Moon Lake, there would be no Xuemei Mountain today.

Lan Chang'an previously calculated that after the death of Mu Bingyun, Mu Family's future will be very poor, and there is even the possibility of genocide.

Second, during the funeral, let Li Congren do it for you and give an orb as a meeting gift to the descendants of Qi Feng.

It turns out that Lan Chang'an found a High-Grade Spiritual Root among the descendants of Qi Feng.

The descendants of the adoptive father came to Cultivation World to establish Lineage and Lan Chang'an after many bumps and bruises.

And that Qi Feng has been taking care of Small Turtle Peak, including Guan Qiaozhi's mausoleum.

Lan Chang'an admired this character and perseverance and decided to reward him.

The orbs given by Lan Chang'an can slightly speed up the cultivation speed before Golden Core Realm, and at the same time have a slow warming effect on Root Bone, reducing the probability of damaging the foundation.

"Lu Lang, tonight... are we spending the night in your former residence when you were young?"

Fairy Ni Yue Nana, approaching from behind, has a delicate and elegant fragrance, and a gentle voice, like the sound of a clear spring.

Many years ago, Fairy Ni Yue was shocked when he learned the identity of "Turtle Lu".

Later, when she saw the true face of Lan Chang'an, she accepted it happily, and their friendship became deeper.

"Tonight at True Person's former residence, I will play music all night as a tribute to my memory."

Lan Chang'an laughed.

Hearing this, the Green-Skirted Woman in front of him transformed into Rainbow Feather Garment Score. The veil faded, revealing a peerless appearance. The beautiful silhouette of a fairy danced under the moonlight in the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, a guqin floated in the air, emitting faint fairy sounds as deep as the valley.

Lan Chang'an listened to the music and danced, and felt in a trance, as if he had returned to the Qi Refining Realm era more than two hundred years ago, where he lived under the influence of others and was cautious.

At that time, he never thought that one day in the future, he would revisit his old residence and let the first fairy Liang Kingdom sing, dance, and play the piano and flute for him.

Early the next morning, the former residence in the small courtyard by the lake was completely silent.

Except for Li Congren, no one in the entire Jade Moon Lake clan knew that True Person Changqing came to the former residence last night.

In the next two days, Lan Chang'an did not attend the funeral of Mu Bingyun.

He didn't want the outside world to know the exact news of his return.

A few days later.

The two took the chariot Law Treasure and arrived at a Rogue Cultivator gathering place on the southeastern border of the Liang Kingdom, Wuye Town.

Wuye Town is a newly built large-scale Marketplace. It is located behind the battlefield of Demonic Path and on the border of the Liang Kingdom. It is more convenient to go to the Feng Kingdom and Moon-Gazing Immortal City.

On its east side, there is the dangerous and unpredictable Poisonous Gas Swamp, with poisonous and strange beasts emerging one after another. It is ten times more dangerous than the Flying Sand Chasm at the Fengyuan Kingdom, and it is very dangerous for the True Pill monks to cross it.

The other side of Endless Swamp is Two Cults Borderland, which is far away.

In recent years, with the Liang Kingdom's first Rogue Cultivator "True Person Wuye" in charge, coupled with the escape from Demonic Path War, Wuye Town has expanded rapidly, absorbing a large number of Rogue Cultivator, and its scale is no less than that of some Immortal City.

It's just that the scale of Spirit Vein is inferior and cannot accommodate too many Core Formation True Person.

Wuye Town is built around the mountains. On the top of the central peak, there are several caves standing, shrouded in clouds and mist, which are the residences of the upper-level controllers of Wuye Town.

"Fairy Shi, the center of the induction formation, there was a momentary fluctuation just now, and it soon returned to normal. I suspect that there may be unknown monks who hide their identities and invade illegally..."

In the second cave on the left, an elder Marketplace from Foundation Establishment Late Stage came in to report.

"The fluctuations in the formation are what colors of light are warning?"

In the front garden of the cave, a beautiful woman in her late forties sat lazily leaning on the railing, wearing a dark green dress, with a plump and undulating figure.

"It seems to be five colors."

Marketplace Elder said unsurely.

"Five colors... just for a moment?"

Fairy Shi clears his eyes, his casual posture is no longer the same, and his expression becomes serious.

For monks who quietly sneak into Marketplace without verification, the formation in the city will be sensitive.

Depending on the color, there will be various reactions.

Qi Refining Realm is one color, Foundation Establishment Realm is two colors...Pseudo-Core True Person is just three colors.

If five colors appear, it is the highest alert, which means that it is at least a powerful person at the level of true elixir or above.

However, there was only a momentary reaction, and the person who came might have left at the first touch, or evaded the formation induction and sneaked into Wuye City.

"Stay back first, I will report this matter to True Person Jiang."

Shi Manrong spoke calmly and sent Elder Marketplace away.

At this time, she looked at the rock landscape not far away from the corner of her eye. There was a Rat Demon, the size of a puppy, sitting cross-legged on it. It looked ordinary.

Elder Marketplace, who had reported earlier, did not notice Rat Demon who was about ten feet away.

"It's you..."

Shi Manrong couldn't help but be startled. The clever eyes of Rat Demon highly overlapped with a certain image in his memory.

It is impossible for an ordinary third-level Rat Demon to be able to break into her cave as if there was no one there.

Shi Manrong Divine Sense glanced outside the cave and saw Guest Reception Pavilion a man and a woman sitting inside.

"Hey! Mom, where did the mouse come from?"

A clean and delicate young man in white came over and looked curiously at Rat Demon on the rock.

"Xiaochuan, there are guests visiting outside the door. Please welcome them in without disturbing others."

Shi Manrong ordered.

"Okay."

The boy in white took a token and came outside the cave.

The two people in the pavilion are a man in white and a female cultivator in green skirt.

The nun in a green skirt wears a veil, covering the area below the bridge of her nose, and her appearance is ordinary.

The gentle and quiet man in white made the young man a little startled.

This person's image and temperament are among the few among the male cultivators he knows, and he has an inexplicable sense of affinity.

The auras of the two Law Power are so dark that it is impossible to tell what is true or false.

"Junior Shi Xiaochuan, by the order of my mother, I will take you two to the cave as guests."

The boy in white Qi Refining Mid-Stage bowed his hands.

"Xiaochuan, is your mother the formation master of Fairy Shi? Wuye Town?"

Lan Chang'an couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah." The boy in white nodded.

Lan Chang'an didn't think much about it, and later prepared a meeting gift for Fairy Shi's son.

Times have changed.

After so many years of no contact, even if it is dao companion, the relationship will fade away, let alone a casual fling.

Even if Shi Manrong gets married and has children, in the eyes of Lan Chang'an, it is still in line with common sense.

After all, Shi Manrong got divorced very early when he was young. At that time, Wuqi Mountain had a wish: to have a child who would continue his descendants.

Lan Chang'an asked Green-Skirted Woman to stay in the pavilion and followed Shi Xiaochuan alone.

Lan Chang'an As soon as he stepped into the cave, a powerful spiritual pressure of elixir appeared in the adjacent cave, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Whoosh!

The afterimage of the purple star flew over and turned into a purple-robed True Person with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked gloomy and said in a bad tone:

"Lu! Do you still have the nerve to come back and find Manrong?"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are well!"

Lan Chang'an immediately recognized that this person was Jiang Yechen, who had a slight friendship in the past, and now Liang Kingdom's first Rogue Cultivator's "True Person Wuye".

Compared to a hundred years ago, Jiang Yechen looks a few years older, has a calmer temperament, and lacks the feminine feeling of the past.

Lan Chang'an secretly thought that he had heard before that Jiang Yechen and Fairy Shi had a good relationship. Could it be that they became a couple?

Jiang Yechen's early lover, Shen Bixin, was married to a woman, and according to life expectancy, she died at least a month ago.

However, Jiang Yechen and Fairy Shi live in different caves, so they don't look like they formed dao companion.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, we are here as guests. I don't have much left in my life, so I just want to catch up with my old friends."

Fairy Shi's faint voice sounded like he was pleading.

Jiang Yechen snorted lightly and followed Lan Chang'an into the cave with a cold face.

"Master."

Shi Xiaochuan didn't dare to show off his arrogance and said hello in a low voice.

Jiang Yechen put his arms around the shoulders of the boy in white, like a father and son, and entered the cave.

In the pavilion, the ordinary-looking Green-Skirted Woman seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

She actually felt that the temperament and image of the boy in white were more like Lan Chang'an.

In the side hall, Lan Chang'an saw Fairy Shi again after decades.

Although she doesn't have long life, Shi Manrong has good looks and looks like a beautiful woman in her middle age.

Although her appearance is not as good as before, it is more mature and graceful, dignified and elegant, and she is as pale as a chrysanthemum.

"Daoist Lu, why don't you let that female Daoist friend in?"

"She is a female nun from the Fengyuan Kingdom tribe. She is withdrawn and doesn't like to interact with strangers."

Lan Chang'an said calmly.

Shi Manrong didn't think much about it. The female cultivator in the green skirt outside didn't have an outstanding appearance or temperament.

Aboriginal tribal nun?

Jiang Yechen couldn't help but think deeply: It seems that Lan Chang'an went to the Fengyuan Kingdom to seek refuge and did not live a good life. Perhaps he married a powerful indigenous female cultivator and sold his sex life in exchange for a stable environment for self-cultivation, thus cultivating to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Otherwise, with Lan Chang'an's vision at the time, he would not have found an ordinary-looking indigenous female cultivator.

After being separated from Shen Bixin for more than a hundred years, his wasted life and rich experiences have changed Jiang Yechen's state of mind and aesthetics.

In the past twenty years, he reunited and collaborated with Fairy Shi, and he gradually developed an appreciation for it.

Although today's Fairy Shi is not as beautiful as many young women, her noble and mature temperament like plum blossoms, which has been honed through hardships, makes him quite moved and resonates with her.

The two have a good relationship, but they have never broken through that boundary.

Nowadays, Fairy Shi has a short life span, and Jiang Yechen tried hard to plot Third-Order Longevity Pill for him to win the favor of the beautiful lady, but it was a pity that it did not go well.

Lan Chang'an, Fairy Shi, and Jiang Yechen reminisced about old times for a while.

It turns out that Shi Xiaochuan is the adopted son of Shi Manrong. Not only is he talented in formations, he is also High-Grade Spiritual Root.

Jiang Yechen, Liang Kingdom's first Rogue Cultivator, took the initiative to take on a disciple, and Fairy Shi had no reason to refuse.

Since Jiang Yechen is here, it's hard to go into depth on the topic.

Lan Chang'an hinted several times that he wanted to talk to Fairy Shi alone.

Jiang Yechen lingered there, with a stern face and eyes that looked like he was supervising a scumbag.

"Jiang saw the relevant description in <Legend of Changqing>: If he hadn't escaped to a different place, Daoist Lu would be the real Liang Kingdom and the first Rogue Cultivator."

Jiang Yechen There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes gradually became sharper, and his body exuded a cold evil spiritual pressure that was beyond the same level.

"Today, Jiang has itchy hands. As long as Daoist Lu can fight with Jiang undefeated, I will not prevent you from having a private meeting with Manrong from now on."

In recent years, due to good opportunities, Jiang Yechen, who was already qualified as Higher Vehicle, became Liang Kingdom's first Rogue Cultivator.

Except for the sect's Golden Core Realm Overhaul, he has no opponent at the same level.

In the Rogue Cultivator circle, he is a lonely and invincible existence.

One hundred and fifty years ago.

Jiang Yechen competed for the position of Peak Master from Wuqi Mountain, with the best overall conditions, but was actually brushed aside by the "blind" Turtle Lu.

At that time, Jiang Yechen said nothing on the surface, but felt somewhat unhappy in his heart.

And Fairy Shi, whom he admired, was ruthlessly abandoned by Turtle Lu who ran away decades ago.

Today he shamelessly came to your door again?

In Wuye Town's own territory, Jiang Yechen is very reasonable and wants to give Turtle Lu some color.

It would be nice to teach him that the majesty of the Liang Kingdom, the first Rogue Cultivator, is absolutely superior to ordinary true elixirs.
