Three Hundred Sprouts

Two years later.

Underground Secret Chamber, the black-gray medicinal pool was evaporated dry by invisible heat, leaving behind dried solid dirt.

A giant with a body made of dark copper, with golden discs swimming like fish scales, and a dark mist of scalding hot water swirling around its body, exuding a terrifying Qi and Blood oppression that could make Golden Core Realm overhaul his face.

"290 years old, late stage third level body training!"

Lan Chang'an I feel that my body Power Soul is stronger than ever before, as if if I'm not careful, my cave will collapse.

Of course, the cave is protected by the formation Restriction, so it won't collapse so easily.

After a long time, the strange phenomena on Lan Chang'an's body disappeared, those fish-like gold pieces disappeared, and the body slowly shrank to normal size.

Lan Chang'an's <Golden Net Tyrant Body> has been grinding away at the bottleneck at the peak of the middle stage of the third level for several years, and it was not until today that it broke through.

Not only in Dharma cultivation, but also in physical training, there are realm bottlenecks.

Also in the later stages of breakthrough, physical training is more difficult than legal training.

In the way of body refining, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to advance.

Talent, energy, will, and resources are all indispensable.

The reason why it is difficult is that the current world environment and the human bloodline are not as friendly to Body Cultivator as they were during the High Antiquity period, and cannot become the mainstream.

After being promoted through body training, Lan Chang'an's self-protection ability has improved significantly.

Not limited to powerful physical defense.

Qi and Blood Jingyuan is powerful, and the load and consumption of <Red Sun Blood Transformation Escape> will be reduced accordingly.

Body refining in the late third level allows Lan Chang'an to cross-level and cast the fourth level <Red Sun Blood Transformation Escape> at a lower cost and longer duration.

After all, Blood Transformation Evasion on the fourth floor corresponds to Nascent Soul Early Stage, and its lifespan can easily be shortened by more than ten years.

One year after the body refining realm was consolidated.

According to the established plan, Lan Chang'an began to plan the core inheritance of Puppet from Thousand Mechanisms Cult.

Thousand Mechanisms Cult's branch of inheritance from the Outer Sect Alliance, named "Xuanji Pavilion", is a power organization built by defectors from the sect.

Xuanji Pavilion mainly engages in industrial business related to Puppet.

The largest base is in the nearby Gutian Immortal City.

Peacock Saintess attacked head-on, but did not gain any advantage and was defeated, even though there was an element of acting.

At least, her strength at that time did not force Xuanji Pavilion, Quasi-Tier 4 Puppet, and Puppet Army Formation.

"Behind the scenes of the Xuanji Pavilion, there is a Nascent Soul Old Monsters who is secretly supporting him. Do not act rashly."

Lan Chang'an's plan was not accomplished overnight.

The first step is to test the truth and get more information.

The second step is to try to trade peacefully, it is best not to take action.

In the third step, if the transaction fails, the core Puppet inheritance can only be obtained through abnormal means.

At this stage, only the first two steps can be implemented.

If you want to steal it by abnormal means, it is best to wait until it is repaired to Golden Core Late Stage, and upgrade Divination Art to the third level top level.

The top level divination of the third level, although it is also the top level of the third level, has reached the limit of the third level. Around the Fengyuan Kingdom, no one can beat him except Heavenly Master.

Once promoted to Golden Core Late Stage, Lan Chang'an will still have threats and maneuvering methods even when facing Nascent Soul True Lord.

Half Moon Empress.

Gutian Immortal City Thousands of miles away.

A vague humanoid phantom flew rapidly from the direction of Immortal City.

There was a "pop" sound.

The vague humanoid phantom turned into a Wandering Merchant Daoist wearing a bamboo hat, and his figure got into the sand cave.

The wind and sand roared, its breath was gathered away, and the traces were covered up.

After a while.

A powerful spiritual pressure of Late Core Formation overhaul quickly approached, causing the surrounding wind and sand to stop.

The visitor is a master Puppet with a dull face and mechanical arms.

It was Puppet-Armed City Lord that competed with Peacock Saintess back then.

Although this City Lord Gu is the supreme ruler of Gutian Immortal City, he specializes in Puppet skills all year round and rarely interacts with outsiders, so his presence is low.

"Dao Owl Your Excellency, come out and see me. Gu knows you are nearby."

Puppet-Armed Ancient City Lord's pair of dark blue eyes, followed by Peak Core Formation's Divine Sense, scanned the area nearby and finally settled on a piece of sand.

"As expected of the Xuanji Pavilion, the first Puppet genius."

Wandering Merchant Daoist, carrying a cage on its back, emerged from the sand and heard a vigorous sound.

"Are you Puppet, or a human monk?"

City Lord Gu's eyes flickered as he looked at the mysterious Wandering Merchant Daoist in front of him, feeling amazed.

As the master of Puppet, he noticed that the body of the person in front of him looked more like Puppet.

But its spiritual intelligence, soul fluctuations, and the Law Technique and Talisman methods it uses are more like human monks.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a human being or Puppet."

The mysterious Wandering Merchant Daoist said slowly:

"On the contrary, City Lord Gu, why are you pursuing him so hard? Pindao was just doing normal activities and transactions in the city, and didn't do anything harmful to nature."

At this time, Lan Chang'an, which remotely controlled Puppet, was unexpected.

To be on the safe side, he sent Puppet Avatar to Gutian Immortal City to find out the truth about the Xuanji Pavilion, and learned a lot of intelligence clues.

Xuanji Pavilion's secret base is underground in Gutian Immortal City.

Under the ground, there is a hidden castle.

According to his calculations, it is possible to obtain the core Puppet and inheritance of the Xuanji Pavilion in that Underground Castle.

Lan Chang'an It is just an investigation and no further action has been taken.

As a result, he was suddenly sensed by City Lord Gu and killed him so suddenly that he had no time to hide.

Fortunately, at night, Lan Chang'an used the speed and concealment of Puppet Avatar in the late third stage to escape Gutian Immortal City.

In order to avoid being surrounded, Puppet Avatar used several clever Law Techniques, including the third-level high-grade Restriction-Breaking Talisman.

At this moment, the master Gutian City chased him for a thousand miles and refused to let go.

Lan Chang'an used the same method as before to stop Puppet's Spirit Stone activation and entered a dormant state, trying to avoid the other party's secret technique of sensing Puppet.

As a result, the general area was locked by the powerful City Lord Gu of Divine Sense, and the hiding location was finally exposed.

"Dao Owl, sir, there is no need to hide it. You are sneaking around in Gutian Immortal City, trying to find out the secret information of the Xuanji Pavilion. What is your intention?"

Puppet-Armed Ancient City Lord spoke in a bad tone and patted Storage Bag.

In an instant, several third-order Puppet appeared.

Ugh!

The blue cold wind howled for dozens of feet, and one of them, Blue Dragon Puppet, which was more than ten feet long, hovered above the head of Wandering Merchant Daoist.

"Third-level top-notch Puppet! Incorporating the skills of Strange Spirit Puppet, its strength is better than the ordinary Golden Core Realm overhaul..."

Lan Chang'an secretly envies that the quality of that Blue Dragon Puppet is even better than when it competed with Peacock Saintess decades ago.

His Puppet Avatar, which has just entered the late third level, is no match at all.

Moreover, Puppet-Armed City Lord himself is also in the late stage of overhaul, and he has many third-level exquisite Puppet, which is enough to exert its full power.

"I want to leave, City Lord Gu can't stay."

Wandering Merchant Daoist was calm and calm, not panicking at all.

Boom!

In a radius of ten miles, flying sand and rocks and strong winds formed an overwhelming sandstorm and natural disaster.

City Lord Gu has lived in the desert for a long time and realized that this is not a natural disaster.

It's the sand dust Law Technique in the late third stage.

The soles of his feet felt cold, and he felt an invisible, sinister chill.

The unknown existence hidden deep in the sand gave him a sense of threat.

Not only that.

In the dust behind Wandering Merchant Daoist, a Female Cultivator Phantom emerged, emitting Divine Sense fluctuations comparable to Peak Core Formation.

The isolation between the sand and the Divine Sense made it impossible for City Lord Gu to find out.

Whoosh!

The vision was distorted, and the dust storm scene disappeared.

It was replaced by a blue-black ancient palace.

Deep in the palace, there is a throne with the head of Azure Dragon, but there is no one on it.

Wandering Merchant Daoist and Female Cultivator Phantom, separated below Azure Dragon Throne.

"City Lord Gu, people in the light don't tell secrets. We are organizing a branch to trade the core inheritance of Thousand Mechanisms Cult that you possess, including the skills of Strange Spirit Puppet and Puppet Array."

Female Cultivator Phantom's voice is sometimes cold, sometimes gentle, sometimes distant and sometimes close.

"The core Puppet inheritance of the Xuanji Pavilion is not for sale."

Puppet-Armed Ancient City Lord calmly looked at the fantasy scene in front of him. Azure Dragon Throne at the deep end of the hall gave people a sense of ancient times and mystery.

The empty Azure Dragon Throne made his imagination wander, wondering if it was a scene in reality.

"There is nothing in this world that is not for sale, and there is no loyalty that cannot be betrayed."

Bamboo Hat Merchant Daoist, there is an old laughter.

City Lord Gu's face darkened, Xuanji Pavilion on the Outer Sect Alliance's side, to Thousand Mechanisms Cult, is the identity of a defector.

"It's not impossible to trade! Unless your organization can bring out Infant Transformation Pill, fourth-level Soul Nourishing Wood, and the lost... Soul-Planting Puppet Technique."

City Lord Gu spoke proudly, and the lion opened his mouth.

"Gee, the inheritance stolen by the traitor can be a treasure. In the Outer Sect Alliance and Mystic Mystery Pavilion, you are not the only monk who has the core inheritance."

Female Cultivator Phantom's laughter resounded through the dark and strange Green Dragon Great Hall.

City Lord Gu What else did he want to say? The illusory scene in the main hall in front of him disappeared.

Whoosh!

In reality, the thicker Yellow Sand storm has covered the traces of Wandering Merchant Daoist and Female Cultivator Phantom.

City Lord Gu is so frightened that he dare not follow her anymore.

That Wandering Merchant Daoist and Female Cultivator Phantom both have Late Core Formation methods, and there is a mysterious organization behind them.

Xuanji Pavilion's situation in the Outer Sect Alliance is not as good as imagined.

In the past, there was Fengyuan Kingdom rejection from the local people, and in the back, there was Two Cults Borderland, and there was no going back.

City Lord Gu Collapse Puppet, return to Gutian Immortal City.

Due to the cover of natural disasters such as wind and sand, the scene of the confrontation did not alarm the outside monks.

City Lord Gu Without stopping, enter Underground Castle below Immortal City.

Finally, we arrived at one of the Restriction-heavy palaces.

City Lord Gu opens a mouthful of Green Wood Bronze Coffin, hands Hand Seals, chants the spell, and casts the secret technique of Puppet.

After counting the interest.

Inside Green Wood Bronze Coffin, a Green-Armored Man who looks like Zombie sits up. Most of his body is made of Puppet material.

"How long has it been?"

Green-Armored Puppet man, two green ghost flames danced in his eyes, which was eerie and strange.

"Owner, it has been seventy or eighty years since you last woke up."

Puppet-Armed Ancient City Lord, the tone is respectful.

"It's been so long? This Ghost Transformation Spirit Infusion's consciousness is getting weaker and weaker, and he must find the soul treasure as soon as possible. If successful, within a few hundred years, this building is expected to give birth to an independent fourth-level Puppet, completely rivaling Nascent Soul True Lord."

"Yes, the poster." City Lord Gu's dull face rarely showed excitement.

The Puppet in front of me is neither human nor ghost. During his lifetime, he was a fourth-level Puppet Master.

Creating the fourth-level Puppet is also his lifelong goal.

"Wake me up, what's the matter?"

"Back to the original poster... I have a suspicion that Wandering Merchant Daoist is suspected to be from the mysterious "Green Dragon Society"."

City Lord Gu states previous experiences and his own speculations.

"Green Dragon Society?"

"That is top-secret information obtained by Yellow Sand intelligence. Only the Scale Claw is known, and few people in the world know about it."

City Lord Gu replied.

"Green Dragon Society, never heard of it. But the image of Wandering Merchant Daoist is a bit like the legendary [Daoist Tianshu]."

Green-Armored Puppet man said thoughtfully.

"Daoist Tianshu? You mean, the mysterious character in the Tianyan Continent<Extraordinary People of the Universe Series>."

City Lord Gu recalled the records in ancient books and said in surprise.

Daoist Tianshu is a traveling businessman who is absolutely neutral. He travels around the mainland and trades items with those who are destined to do so.

If you meet him, you will be able to trade the required items, which is not a small amount of fortuitous opportunity.

According to the ancient book records of Thousand Mechanisms Cult, Daoist Tianshu may be the originator of Puppet in this world.

It may be a special form of Puppet, whose intelligence exceeds that of most human monks.

Fangcao Oasis, Profound Sound Pavilion cave.

"We had a bad start and almost lost our only third-level late-stage Puppet!"

Lan Chang'an Heaved a sigh of relief.

Mystic Mystery Pavilion's Puppet methods exceeded his expectations, and Puppet Avatar's actions were actually exposed.

Having already alerted the enemy, in order to protect the late third-level Puppet, he could only confuse the public and bring out the fictitious Green Dragon Society.

Fortunately, this time I alerted the enemy, negotiated with City Lord Gu, and got enough intelligence information, so I could avoid many detours.

These information media will help Lan Chang'an calculate in the future and find the breaking point.

"Gutian Immortal City is already on alert and should not take any further action in the short term."

Lan Chang'an decided to hibernate for another ten years and cultivate to Golden Core Late Stage in one breath.

At the same time, the quality of Puppet in the third-stage late stage will be improved.

Five years later, Lan Chang'an's age reached 296, approaching the 300-year-old mark.

On this day, while he was meditating in seclusion, he felt a faint feeling.

Lan Chang'an opened his eyes, counted with his fingers, and sighed softly.

He looked back towards the direction of the Liang Kingdom, Wuye Town.

Over there, Fairy Shi has expired and spent the last day of his life.

Lan Chang'an did not go back to take one last look at Fairy Shi.

Through the information known in previous years and even calculations, Lan Chang'an learned that Fairy Shi was accompanied by someone during the last ten or twenty years of his life.

Jiang Yechen, Shi Xiaochuan, Shi Manrong, the family of three is enjoying themselves and is very warm.

Perhaps, Fairy Shi is a trade-off for the sake of raising a son and having a good trust.

Or perhaps, I was really moved by Jiang Yechen and was truly moved.

With her appearance aging and the last twenty years of her life, Fairy Shi was indeed together with Jiang Yechen.

This is the reason why Lan Chang'an didn't go back.

Looking back on Fairy Shi's life, Lan Chang'an felt strange in his heart.

Meeting unkind people when you were young, having romantic relationships after divorce, and indulging yourself.

Finally, I got older, tired of playing, and tired of my heart, so I found an "honest person" to finally belong to.

If Fairy Shi is alone all his life, Lan Chang'an will have some psychological debt.

Even though both parties knew for a long time that it was just a casual relationship, they were honest and clear about it.

The happy and heartwarming ending made Lan Chang'an feel gratified.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang..."

Lan Chang'an was so grateful that he secretly expressed his gratitude.

Lan Chang'an who practices meditation, time flies by.

His Golden Core cultivation has steadily advanced, gradually approaching the Golden Core Mid-Stage peak.

Unknowingly, Lan Chang'an's age reached the 300-year mark.

At this moment, Mystic Water Turtle, who was taking care of Mystic Vine, felt happy and joyful.

"Mystic Vine has changed?"

Lan Chang'an immediately rushed to the bottom of the cave, the deepest underground Secret Chamber.

I saw that the Mystic Vine, full of greenery, winding and three feet long, exuded a mysterious original vitality.

On a certain branch of Mystic Vine, a tiny bud grew.

If you don't observe carefully, it is easy to overlook.

"Three hundred years old in this life, Mystic Vine sprouts!"

Lan Chang'an feels excited. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. This is a good sign.

The buds produced by Mystic Vine gave him the intuition that they were a qualitative change, pregnant with the infinite mysteries of the world.

Lan Chang'an is three hundred years old, but he awakened from the age of eighteen Previous Life.

In terms of his cultivation career in this life, it is less than three hundred years.

A period of time follows.

Lan Chang'an observed the subtle changes in Mystic Vine's career, and made many calculations from Nascent Soul's perspective.

After all, the once dead Mystic Heaven Relic brought great fortuitous opportunity to the two Spirit Pet.

Mystic Water Turtle mutated, at least becoming Heaven Grade Bloodline.

After observation and calculation, Lan Chang'an indeed discovered the benefits brought by Mystic Vine's sprouting, or intangible gains.

That is luck!

Lan Chang'an, as the third-level Divination Master, has a keener insight into Qi numbers.

After Mystic Vine sprouted, the Spirit Vein mountain gate where it was located was gathering the heavenly Earth Qi luck extremely slowly.

Other high-level monks are difficult to detect.

Lan Chang'an Only by long-term observation can you feel the minimal changes.

Cultivation World's major sects have had their fortunes rise and fall over hundreds of thousands of years, which is a normal thing.

For example, Profound Sound Pavilion has been developing smoothly in recent years, and its luck has been slowly increasing.

Therefore, even if high-level monks discover this phenomenon of increasing Qi, they will become accustomed to it.

"It's a pity that this gathering of luck does not belong to an individual, but to the Spirit Vein mountain range where it is rooted! It belongs to the overall luck of a certain power group!"

Lan Chang'an has some regrets. If it were applied to one of them, over time, it is expected to become Son of Luck.

As the owner of Mystic Vine, he does not enjoy any privileges and is treated equally.

The monks who belong to this Spirit Vein force enjoy the indirect gains brought by collective luck to individuals, which are insignificant and difficult to detect compared to the whole.

Still, it's better than nothing.

From now on, Lan Chang'an will have a clear conscience if he runs away from any force!

Because, not only does he not bring disaster to the sect he joins, he can also bring weak luck blessings.
