Landing and Taking Root

Two years later.

Green Phoenix Peak Cave Mansion, beside the lotus pond.

On Mystic Water Turtle's back, Lan Chang'an sat cross-legged and meditated, lingering in the air of tranquility accumulated over the years. Big Turtle breathed in and out of water vapor, absorbing the invisible breath, and the irritable and depressed emotions were relieved.

"Elder Xiang, True Person Yumei is visiting."

A stooped white-haired old servant stood in the outer palace of the cave, and a voice came from across the invisible barrier.

Lan Chang'an divides Green Phoenix Peak cave into outer mansion and inner mansion.

The inner palace is where he and Spirit Pet practice, including specializing in the cultivation of immortal arts. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission.

Hidden here are Tier 4 Illusion Formation and True Lord, which are difficult to spy on by force.

The outer mansion is used to receive guests, servants live and work, and continues the original third-level formation of the cave mansion.

"Well, a certain family already knows."

Lan Chang'an slowly finished his work and came to the main hall of the outer palace of the cave.

True Person Yumei is the target of dao companion that Sect Master Hu matched him with some time ago.

She is Cloud Glow Sect a rare Golden Core Realm middle-stage female cultivator.

"Keeping True Person Yumei waiting for a long time."

In the hall, there is a female cultivator Golden Core Realm who is about forty or fifty years old. She has a slender figure, a thin face, and colorful hair on her temples.

Although he is not young, he has beautiful facial features, clear and deep eyes, and a temperament like the breeze and the bright moon.

"I have just arrived."

True Person Yumei has a smile on his face and a soft and honest voice.

Having met both sides before, Lan Chang'an implicitly expressed his intention not to marry dao companion.

However, True Person Yumei was somewhat interested in the Golden Core Realm, his overhaul, and maintained normal social interactions within the sect.

After chatting for a while, True Person Yumei explained his purpose and took out a Storage Bag filled with materials.

"The materials provided by fellow Daoist Yumei are not enough to refine Third-Order Mid-Grade Puppet. Moreover, Xiang himself has a sect mission and needs to practice, so his energy is limited. A normal third-level Puppet commission can take as little as one year and as many as two or three years."

Lan Chang'an looked embarrassed and shook his head slightly.

In the past two years, he has built multiple Puppet for the Cloud Glow Sect, including a third-order Puppet, which has won high praise in Shanmen.

Although normal monks cannot exert the full power of Puppet, it is still a rare means of protecting the Dao.

For example, if a Pseudo-Core True Person obtains the third-level Puppet, it will have the capital to compete with the true elixir.

However, the refining of Puppet has obvious constraints.

First, the cost is high and the skills are unpopular.

Second, the output is low. It takes a lot of time and energy to refine a Puppet.

"Then entrust True Person Xiang to build a high-quality third-level low-grade Puppet. As for the reward, I have finally gathered the materials, and my money is very tight. I can't afford 20% of the fee for the time being..."

True Person Yumei pursed his lips and smiled, his face blurred and his temperament changed drastically.

Suddenly, she transformed into a young woman with a rosy face, mature beauty and plump figure.

Lan Chang'an was stunned for a moment.

Her face transformed into a pure and shy girl.

"True Person Xiang should know that I am one of the most exquisite female cultivators of the Cloud Glow Sect's yin and yang dual cultivation. Even Golden Core Realm's major cultivation practice has been slightly promoted."

True Person Yumei smiled beautifully and suggested.

The meaning of a transaction is self-evident.

Lan Chang'an thought to himself, Cloud Glow Sect is indeed an immortal cultivating sect that prefers the side sect. In the Yin and Yang dual cultivating sect, the atmosphere is more open.

"Xiang pursues the great path, is not fond of women, and has no interest in dual cultivation."

Lan Chang'an refused with a decisive tone and stern words.

Due to the time limit of Evergreen Art, there is an upper limit on daily and monthly cultivation progress.

The Yin and Yang dual cultivation method is of little significance to Lan Chang'an.

The High Antiquity Secret Method<Dragon-Phoenix Dual Cauldron Method> and Lan Chang'an obtained from Old Ancestor Tianluo will not be used in this life.

"That's all, I can only wait for a few more years of hard work."

True Person Yumei returned to his simple and refreshing appearance, and put away Storage Bag on the table without any reluctance.

If the deal fails, although there is no enmity, there will be some gaps.

True Person Yumei was sent outside the cave, Lan Chang'an secretly laughed:

"With these few materials, you want to create a third-level boutique Puppet? Do you want to waste the technical fees on this True Person?"

True Person Yumei walked out of the cave so that Lan Chang'an didn't have to give it away again.

At this time, she caught a glimpse of a familiar young monk Foundation Establishment from the corner of her eye.

The young man is handsome and tall. He is directing his servants to repair the garden on the mountain.

"Xiao Qingshan?"

True Person Yumei was a little surprised, but didn't take it to heart.

She had an impression of Xiao Qingshan, not because the latter came from the Xiao Clan, one of Four Great Families.

The great Aristocratic Clan bloodline has many heirs, and a commoner with average qualifications and marginal status does not have a high status.

Because Xiao Qingshan and one of her female disciples "Yi Shuzhen" were engaged in their early years.

The marriage was arranged by Xiao Qingshan's mother for her son during her lifetime.

At that time, Golden Core Realm Lineage, where Xiao's mother lived, had not suffered any disaster and was still enjoying its glory.

Yi Shuzhen's cultivator Lineage is a medium-sized False Core Lineage. This girl has been known as a natural beauty since she was a child.

Yi Shuzhen met Xiao Qingshan in private when he was at the Qi Refining Realm. The two had a good impression of each other and formed a relationship.

Back then, Xiao Qingshan chose to join Cloud Glow Sect, one of the reasons was for Yi Shuzhen.

But later, the Lineage where Xiao's mother lived encountered a disaster and fell to Foundation Establishment Lineage.

On the other hand, Yi Shuzhen became more and more outstanding after reaching Cloud Glow Sect. Under the disciple of "True Person Yumei", the veteran Core Formation Cultivator, he has a strong backer.

For the down-and-out Xiao Qingshan, Yi Family wants to regret their marriage.

If you marry dao companion, Xiao Qingshan will hinder Yi Shuzhen's practice.

Because I was wary of the Xiao Clan, one of Four Great Families, I negotiated privately with Xiao Qingshan to provide a compensation.

In order to persuade Xiao Qingshan, Yi Shuzhen was even asked to come forward in person to impress him.

Xiao Qingshan was disheartened, and finally complied with Yi Shuzhen and accepted a peaceful breakup of the engagement.

"Meet Elder Yumei."

Xiao Qingshan noticed True Person Yumei's gaze, took a deep breath, and bowed.

True Person Yumei didn't respond, didn't even look at him a second time, and flew away from Green Phoenix Peak.

Xiao Qingshan felt bitter and became the steward of True Person Xiang's cave. His status and salary were improved, but there was an insurmountable gap between him and the senior elder of the Cloud Glow Sect.

Whether Yi Shuzhen can be given a high look is still unknown.

Only if you can become Golden Core Realm's confidant can you be considered successful in the sect.

Xiao Qingshan has no hope for this.

Half a year ago, he was spotted by True Person Xiang, just because of a chance encounter outside the mountain gate, and the other party asked him to run errands.

True Person Xiang saw that he was doing his job down-to-earth, so he asked him to go to Green Phoenix Peak.

Not only him, but also several other servants on the mountain were all strong men that True Person Xiang grabbed at random when he went out.

The outside world interprets that True Person Xiang first came to the Cloud Glow Sect and lacked trust and was wary of the list in the sect newspaper, so he behaved this way.

"Strange! There are only male servants in charge of the huge Green Phoenix Peak, but not a single female maid."

True Person Yumei flew some distance and suddenly noticed an anomaly.

In Lan Chang'an's main cave, the servants selected include young people, young adults, and old people, all of whom are male cultivators.

"True Person Xiang is really not a womanizer, could it be possible..."

True Person Yumei thought of something and a chill ran down his spine. No wonder True Person Xiang refused dual cultivation so decisively.

Thinking of the handsome Xiao Qingshan, who thought she had found a backer, a trace of pity filled her eyes.

In the cave, Lan Chang'an saw Xiao Qingshan's lonely expression in his eyes.

Due to various reasons, Li Erqing in this life, although obviously having better qualifications and background, was not doing well in life.

Back then, Li Erqing married a wife, had children, and reproduced his descendants, eventually becoming the originator of the Li Family, which was much more prosperous than in this life.

Lan Chang'an did not rashly support Xiao Qingshan. After asking Green Phoenix Peak for it, he did not give him any special care.

Even so, Xiao Qingshan's situation within the sect has improved. The welfare benefits are better, and at least he will not be discriminated against or wear small shoes.

Half Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an has powerful senses and heard some discussions about himself in the Cloud Glow Sect.

"Not a good woman True Person Xiang?"

Lan Chang'an looks weird, and has no objection to this evaluation. After all, it is not a bad reputation.

The reason for the matter was that Lan Chang'an rejected True Person Yumei who was matched by Sect Master Hu.

Moreover, there is no maid or maid in Green Phoenix Peak cave.

This is incompatible with the open dual cultivation atmosphere of the Cloud Glow Sect.

On this very day.

The fourth-order Spirit Vein main peak in the center of the Cloud Glow Sect was surging with wind and clouds, and a boiling and rising wave of Law Power appeared.

After several seconds, the Nascent Soul-level Law Power aura and powerful spiritual pressure suddenly dispersed.

The sky briefly darkened, making the surrounding formation clouds appear oppressive and gloomy.

"Promotion Nascent Soul Middle Stage failed?"

Lan Chang'an looked at the weather in the distance and came to a conclusion.

Master Lihuo from Fourth Life has had this experience many times.

"That True Lord Yunlan is finally coming out of seclusion."

Lan Chang'an thought of something and frowned slightly.

In the past two years, he has been waiting to meet Cloud Glow Sect and another Nascent Soul True Lord to confirm this person's attitude and truly settle down in the Cloud Glow Sect.

After all, Cloud Glow Sect is not True Lord Zixia who has the final say.

True Lord Yunlan has seniority and higher strength and status. If Lan Chang'an is not welcome, there is a theoretical variable in this matter.

Normally, True Lord Yunlan will not refute True Lord Zixia's face, and the possibility is extremely low.

Lan Chang'an is still prepared accordingly.

For this reason, he did not let Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine take root and connect Earth Qi.

Theoretically speaking, Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine's slight luck blessing, if it lasts long enough, will have a weak impact on True Lord Yunlan's breakthrough just now.

The gain of luck on the overall force will also affect individuals in a shared way, but it is not obvious.

Suppose that a certain cultivating force could have given birth to a hundred Foundation Establishment monks and four or five Core Formation Cultivator within a hundred years.

Affected by the luck gain collective, in the past hundred years, several more Foundation Establishment Realm monks may be born, or even one more Core Formation True Person.

The impact on individuals is small, but the benefits to the collective are quite good.

By analogy, the continuous blessing of this kind of luck will also have a weak bonus to the success rate of Nascent Soul, including Nascent Soul True Lord's small realm breakthrough.

"True Lord Yunlan just failed to break through and is in a bad mood. Please visit again at another time."

Lan Chang'an's eyes flashed and he decided to postpone the visit.

According to the original plan, True Lord Yunlan should be visited as soon as possible after he leaves customs to show respect.

However, sometimes, the more you want to avoid something, it just happens.

Just the next day.

A strange Nascent Soul Divine Sense swept across Green Phoenix Peak, accompanied by a light eh.

Soon after.

Yunlan Peak of the fourth level Spirit Vein sent a Core Formation True Person to convey the words of Supreme Elder to Lan Chang'an.

"True Person Xiang, my master invites you to visit Yunlan Peak."

The person who sent the message, Core Formation True Person, is one of the disciples of True Lord Yunlan.

Lan Chang'an sighed secretly and had no choice but to get up and follow Yunlan Peak.

Yunlan Peak, the main hall of the cave.

Lan Chang'an met the rumored True Lord Yunlan for the first time.

True Lord Yunlan wears a high crown on his head, a loose feather robe and a large cloak. He has a handsome appearance, his hands are folded calmly, and he has a majestic and majestic demeanor.

If it weren't for the slight graying on his temples, he would look to be in his thirties or forties.

"Xiang Dalong is a latecomer and Supreme Elder has been seen before."

Lan Chang'an gave him a hand.

True Lord Yunlan is obviously higher than him in terms of cultivation level and age.

As Cloud Glow Sect, Nascent Soul Cultivator is the most senior, and is more than a hundred years older than True Lord Zixia.

Fairy Zixia is Heavenly Spiritual Root, and his cultivation progress is very fast. Although he is Nascent Soul True Lord, his actual age is not much older than Lan Chang'an.

"True Person Xiang, you are already Guest Elder of this sect, there is no need to be polite."

There was no emotion or anger on True Lord Yunlan's face, and his voice was magnetic. He raised his hand and asked Lan Chang'an to sit down together.

Lan Chang'an was sitting upright and found Divine Sense of True Lord Yunlan observing in secret.

In addition to basic detection, it also controls Lan Chang'an's heartbeat, emotions, and even mental fluctuations.

Fortunately, Lan Chang'an had Nascent Soul Old Monsters's experience and knowledge, so he remained slightly reserved and chatted with True Lord Yunlan for a long time.

Since True Lord Zixia had passed the test before, True Lord Yunlan was able to learn more about Guest Elder from Late Core Formation through conversation this time.

Lan Chang'an was vaguely aware that True Lord Yunlan, who had just failed to break through, was in a bad mood. Law Power was experiencing ups and downs in his body and had not yet completely calmed down.

But this man was indifferent to emotion and anger, quoted from scriptures in his speech, and was calm and composed.

"True Person Xiang, if you pay more than twice the loss, can you be sure to refine the third-level high-grade Puppet?"

True Lord Yunlan's pale silver eyes looked directly at Lan Chang'an.

According to previous information, he knew that Lan Chang'an had refined a third-level Puppet.

"It's difficult."

Lan Chang'an shook his head, feeling calm.

True Lord Yunlan had a flash of disappointment in his eyes, knowing that his expectations were too high.

The ensuing conversation was much less interesting.

"True Person Xiang is practicing Wood-Type Technique. This third-level high-grade Heavenly Oak Wood can be regarded as a meeting gift for this True Lord."

Finally, True Lord Yunlan took out a piece of spiritual wood, gave it to Lan Chang'an, and sent it away.

Heavenly Oak Wood is suitable for making Law Treasure like Flying Boat. It is also valuable for Core Formation Cultivator.

When we met for the first time, Lan Chang'an had a fair impression of True Lord Yunlan.

After Lan Chang'an left Yunlan Peak.

True Lord Yunlan's face darkened, he took out a White Jade Pendant and conveyed the message.

A moment's work.

A ball of mist Zi Xia, like a lotus blooming, appeared in the main hall of Yunlan Peak.

Zi Xia pulled away, revealing the graceful and graceful posture of True Lord Zixia.

This Fairy Zixia arrived at Yunlan Peak quietly without alerting the outside world.

"How? Is there any problem with the Guest Elder I recruited?"

True Lord Zixia said calmly.

"Ziyan, recruiting a Late Core Formation overhaul is no small matter. If you and I are not at the mountain gate, this person is still a high-level Puppet Master. If he is bribed by other forces, there is a threat to subvert the foundation of the mountain gate..."

"Moreover, that person comes from a backward state, and the treatment you gave him was too liberal and the restrictions were too few."

True Lord Yunlan looked unhappy and spoke earnestly.

If True Lord Zixia is stable, you can strive for greater benefits by consulting with him and making decisions instead of making arbitrary decisions.

"Late Core Formation, third-level Puppet Master, such talents, Great Dayu Kingdom Four Great Families are willing to be honored guests. Moreover, the number of the Cloud Glow Sect Core Formation True Person is insufficient, and we are thirsty for talents. The arrival of True Person Xiang is just the right fit."

"The treatment given by Ziyan is slightly higher than usual, so that he can stay and be willing to pay for the Cloud Glow Sect..."

True Lord Zixia doesn't feel like he did anything wrong.

Two years ago, under the lock of Heart-Mirroring Mirror, she felt that True Person Xiang should be a dedicated monk.

Apart from anything else, True Person Xiang has a firm heart, does not approach women, and is strict with himself, which makes True Lord Zixia admire him.

True Lord Zixia actually doesn't like Cloud Glow Sect's overly open attitude.

"It's not a panacea to know the state of one's mind, people's hearts are changeable..."

"That's all, this matter will be decided by Ziyan. If anything goes wrong in the future, you can handle it yourself."

Seeing Fairy Zixia frowning slightly and looking cold while being lectured by him, True Lord Yunlan let the topic go for now.

"In half a year, I'm going to go out and look for Master Le."

"Alchemist? Nascent Soul Middle Stage's bottleneck, Senior Brother Lan, don't be too hasty. The elixir that breaks the level should not be taken repeatedly within a hundred years."

True Lord Zixia said with a soothing tone.

She knew that Yun Senior Brother Lan had great ambitions in this life, and wanted to bring Cloud Glow Sect to glory and prosperity.

To achieve this, True Lord Yunlan's promotion to Nascent Soul Middle Stage is an important factor.

The sect's Spirit Vein is close to the fourth-level mid-grade, and a lot of resources have to be invested in its cultivation.

"Senior brother went to Le Alchemist because he wanted to speed up the planning of Nascent Soul Formation resources for "Yunqing". If I can't be promoted to Nascent Soul Middle Stage in my life, it would be a blessing to have one more Nascent Soul in our sect and three Nascent Souls in one sect."

True Lord Yunlan tells his plan.

"Le Alchemist is a fourth-level refiner of Alchemist. He also has the main medicine and several auxiliary medicines of Infant Transformation Pill in his hands. There are many Nascent Soul Cultivator who want to win over him. Are senior brothers confident in impressing him?"

True Lord Zixia has a worried look on his face, because Alchemist has a big appetite.

"Sigh, that old guy has harsh conditions and a changeable tone. One moment he wants Tier 4 Spirit Talisman, Tribulation-Dissolving Shield and other protective objects, and the next he wants fourth-level Longevity Fruit, and Essence Spirit Great Pill in the transformation stage Demon King."

True Lord Yunlan said with an unlucky look.

Wanting to deal with Master Le is not something that can happen in a short time. He is ready for a tug-of-war.

"Senior brother, be careful, don't let this person cheat you of your resources."

True Lord Zixia nodded.

After talking about business, the atmosphere between the two became tense again.

"Ziyan, tonight..."

"Senior brother has just failed to break through. It's time to rest and recuperate."

True Lord Zixia's star-like lavender eyes had a hint of coldness, interrupted the senior brother's words, and drifted away.

"After all these years, you still refuse to forgive me, senior brother."

Staring at the disappearing elegant figure of Fairy Zixia, a trace of warmth appeared in True Lord Yunlan's eyes, mixed with a look of shame.

Lan Chang'an returned to Green Phoenix Peak, and my heart settled.

Cloud Glow Sect and Nascent Soul True Lord both recognized his identity and could practice with peace of mind in the future.

True Lord Yunlan may be a little unhappy, but he has no hostility toward him. Giving him a third-level high-grade spiritual wood is a way to win people's hearts.

As far as Lan Chang'an knows, this True Lord Yunlan is not only engaged in spiritual practice, but also engaged in career. In order to restore the glory of the sect, he works conscientiously.

There is a big age difference between Yun Lan and Zi Xia. They married dao companion in their early years and were the matchmakers of the previous generation Supreme Elder.

Their master is the same Nascent Soul Cultivator.

True Lord Yunlan is still a descendant of Master for several generations.

It is said that when Fairy Zixia was young, the person he liked was not Yun Lan, but another senior brother.

That senior brother unfortunately died in the demonic rebellion that year.

Later, with the help of their masters, the two formed dao companion in order to maximize the interests of the sect.

Fairy Zixia, after forming dao companion, received the maximum resource support from the Cloud Glow Sect and was successfully promoted to Nascent Soul.

Thus, a good story of Nascent Soul dao companion was created.

However, decades after Fairy Zixia was promoted to Nascent Soul, for unknown reasons, he suddenly separated from True Lord Yunlan.

Of course, the two are just a little indifferent. The hundreds of years of friendship are still there, and they work together for the development of the Yunlan Sect.

Late that night.

Green Phoenix Peak Underground Palace Secret Chamber under the cave.

Accompanied by Earth Rock Rat and Mystic Water Turtle.

Lan Chang'an allowed Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine to officially take root, and the fate of Spirit Vein, the fourth-level power collective, began to be subtly involved.

Lan Chang'an had calculated this before.

Cloud Glow Sect Luck fluctuates, with neither great prosperity nor great decline.

I don't know what impact his arrival will have on the Cloud Glow Sect's luck.
