The Path to Nascent Soul (2)

"Elder Xiang."

On the way to Zixia Peak, the sect monks on the road were respectful and polite. There were some strange looks in their eyes, although they were well hidden.

In the past three years, Lan Chang'an went to Supreme Elder's cave every seven days. During the period of recovery, True Lord Zixia trusted him unconditionally.

Such frequent visits, interactions, and unusual relationships have led to some rumors in the Cloud Glow Sect power camp and even Great Dayu Kingdom Cultivation World.

Various versions speculate on the "mistress" relationship between Xiang Dalong and Fairy Zixia.

In the eyes of the senior officials of the Great Dayu Kingdom, Xiang Dalong and True Lord Zixia are a strong alliance, which makes Cloud Glow Sect's situation more stable and eliminates one weak point.

"Elder Xiang Please come in."

Hu Ang's low-brow and obedient greeting has long since become numb and accustomed to Xiang Dalong's visits, or private meetings.

"Hmm."

Lan Chang'an didn't say much. Every time he came over, Hu Ang stood guard in front of the door.

Because Fairy Zixia trusted this direct disciple and entrusted him to guard the door to block other visitors and avoid being disturbed.

It was a dark and windy night, and Xiang Dalong didn't come out for a long time.

Hu Ang outside the cave, a strange color flashed in his eyes, realizing that Xiang Dalong's "visit" this time was different from the past.

One day, two days, three days...

Hu Ang's already stagnant heart felt inexplicably anxious and had a strong premonition of ominousness.

His expression changed from gloomy to sunny, the secretly clenched fists and the secret technique of explosive seeds were finally put down with a silent sigh.

It has only been more than ten years since he was promoted to the Golden Core Realm, and he has not yet reached the middle stage of True Elixir. With the absolute gap in strength, he has no room for gaming.

Three years of suffering left Hu Ang disheartened. He was convinced that dao companion's former loyalty had been betrayed, both physically and mentally.

Once his identity is exposed, Jiang Ziyan may be more active than Xiang Dalong in silencing him as an outlier.

Three days and three nights.

Supreme Elder's dormitory was in a mess everywhere.

Collapsed gum curtains; cracked walls, deformed exquisite and expensive furniture; scattered elegant purple palace skirts, fragrant hairpins and silk ribbons, wrinkled stockings and embroidered shoes...

Wow!

In the pool adjacent to the sleeping hall, mist is billowing and the fairy fragrance is curling up.

At this time, a bald man with a muscular body stood up from the pool with his bare feet, steamed his body dry, and put on a blue robe.

"Ziyan, while I am out training, if it is not necessary, you'd better not leave the sect and focus on cultivation."

Lan Chang'an felt refreshed and had some free time, he said.

"Well..."

The female True Lord in the pool responded weakly.

Wow!

In the mist-shrouded pool, a white arm with soft lines emerged, like a flawless jade lotus root, hanging by the edge of the pool.

Under the water, Fairy Zixia's hazy body of ice jade is as beautiful as a dream, but it lies limply in the water, unable to even breathe.

Lan Chang'an After turning around, he couldn't help but be startled. Under the calm mood of the holy Buddha, he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of guilt.

Since the completion of body training, Lan Chang'an has never been so unrestrained, full of fun, and not compassionate enough.

After that incident at Xia Wenyue, for the next few decades, I escaped to a foreign land, practiced hard in dormancy, and stayed away from women.

In the case of Xia Wenyue, the other party was just having sex for the first time, and Lan Chang'an was too physically strong, so he felt pity and did not dare to completely let go of his hands and feet.

And this time, it is the first time in three lifetimes that the achievement of "Bathing with Fairy Nascent Soul" has been unlocked.

This is a new experience that none of the three Nascent Soul memories have.

Facing the female True Lord's extraordinary toughness, Lan Chang'an has indulged herself without any scruples for hundreds of years, truly enjoying herself and enjoying herself to the bone and soul.

"Dalong, don't break your promise. I'm waiting for you to come back..."

After a long time, Jiang Ziyan regained his breath, and his beautiful face like porcelain surfaced from the water, shy and angry, and the skin that could be broken by blows showed a light red ripple.

Lan Chang'an noticed the resentment in female True Lord's tone.

Three days ago, he asked True Lord Zixia for instructions about this long trip.

As a result, the Nascent Soul fairy who was in charge of a sect did not allow him to leave easily.

The reason is that I am worried that Lan Chang'an will never come back and never come back.

Lan Chang'an can only promise that after training and completing the pill, he will definitely return to the Cloud Glow Sect to challenge Nascent Soul, and will stay in Great Abyss for some years.

As if they had experienced each other's vows, the two fell in love again and broke the last taboo.

Originally, Lan Chang'an still had some concerns.

Fairy Zixia was angry and bluntly said that Heavenly Spiritual Root's skin was saved by the other party, and he should repay his kindness. In this relationship, there is no psychological burden on each other, and Lan Chang'an does not need to commit to status. It is permanently bound to the Cloud Glow Sect.

Lan Chang'an no longer had any scruples. In a foreign land, Great Abyss fell in love with Nascent Soul female cultivator for the first time.

Even in the long life of a longevity person, it is a remarkable chapter.

"Ziyan needs the best Law Treasure. I remember that after "True Lord Jingtian" left Ancient Nether Palace, there seems to be one that matches the trend. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will help introduce you and facilitate the transaction."

Before Lan Chang'an left, he left another message to reassure True Lord Zixia so that he would not cause unnecessary trouble by going out to collect materials.

Although he did not want to be restrained by any female nun, he still did not hesitate to take proper care of him within his ability.

"The best Law Treasure with wind and cloud attributes!"

Jiang Ziyan Hearing this, his lavender star-like eyes filled with surprise.

After possessing Zhenzong's top grade Law Treasure and cultivating it to the peak of Nascent Soul Early Stage, her fighting skills and self-protection ability at the same level have greatly increased, and she has joined the ranks of the veteran Nascent Soul.

At that time, you will not be at a disadvantage when fighting True Lord Red Snake alone.

Based on Jiang Ziyan's steady understanding of Xiang Dalong, since he opened this mouth, he must be very confident.

Her eyebrows stretched, and she thought to herself, "My True Lord's open-hearted sacrifice and retention are not in vain. With Xiang Dalong's character, he can finally get his sincerity. With this True Lord's unparalleled charm, it is not impossible for him to stay with the Cloud Glow Sect for a long time..."

Fairy Zixia naturally didn't know that even without this frank confrontation, it was Lan Chang'an's long-standing plan to trade the top-quality Law Treasure [Wind and Cloud Fan] to her.

Lan Chang'an, who was having a good time in spring, left Zixia Peak's cave, and did not pay attention to Hu Ang, who forced his face to accompany his smile and lost his soul.

Lan Chang'an pretended to return to the main peak cave, and left Cloud Glow Sect without anyone noticing that night.

Only Fairy Zixia's Nascent Soul Divine Sense barely captured the traces of his departure.

Lan Chang'an goes out in private without leaking his traces or routes, and with Divination Art's assistance, he doesn't have to worry about being ambushed.

They were ambushed by Great Snake Mountain three years ago because the two of them appeared in public in Yuntian City and happened on the way back to the clan in the Great Dayu Kingdom.

The enemy Nascent Soul knows the approximate route direction and time, plus Beast Taming Sect has many methods, so there is a possibility of squatting.

In addition, Lan Chang'an speculated that during Great Snake Mountain's action, there was a high-level Divination Artifact who was covering up the secrets. Because when he left Yuntian City, he had divined bad luck and found no abnormalities.

If there is a powerful and ancient fourth-level heavenly secret artifact, even if Fengyuan Kingdom's "Heavenly Master" takes action personally, it will be greatly interfered with and restricted.

During this trip, Lan Chang'an was not limited to going to the Pill Dao Alliance to refine Infant Transformation Pill, but would also travel for several years on the way.

Traveling can not only sharpen your mind, but you can also look for other Nascent Soul Formation fortuitous opportunity and try your luck.

Since it is a tour, Lan Chang'an will not rush at full speed, but will slow down appropriately.

He plans to "tour" most of Central Region's territory, hiding his identity, passing through various major strategic Immortal City, and finally settling on the Pill Dao Alliance.

Of course, those war zones where Evil Dao forces are rampant and extremely chaotic should be avoided if possible.

Two Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an left Great Dayu Kingdom leisurely, during which time he heard some anecdotes about himself.

During this period, Lan Chang'an quietly approached Cloud Glow Sect to observe the changes in the sect's luck.

Two months after taking away "Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine", Cloud Glow Sect's luck has not changed significantly.

This is consistent with his speculation.

What Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine brings is an "increase" in luck, which accumulates slowly and is not a fixed value.

Even if Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine leaves and the fortune of the cultivating forces drops, it will be a slow decline process.

And, it doesn't necessarily mean a decline.

If the sect is run properly and capable people emerge in large numbers, the subsequent fortune may maintain an upward trend after Mystic Vine leaves.

This result made Lan Chang'an more and more sure of his identity as Sect Lucky Star.

"I wonder how Golden Cloud Valley, which was led by Old Zhang after leaving Great Qing, is developing now?"

Lan Chang'an remembers that after Mystic Heaven Gourd Vine sprouted, it was planted in Golden Cloud Valley for a while.

On this day, Great Dayu Kingdom is outside the border.

A middle-aged traveling businessman with a yellow complexion and a dusty face fell into a desolate mountain.

"Daoist Lu."

On the hillside, there is a Green-Armored Man who has been waiting for a long time. He is wearing a green bamboo hat and cannot see clearly the fangs inside, and he is directly communicating with Lan Chang'an in his mind.

The attendant-looking Green-Armored Man is the disguised fourth-level Puppet, led by Puppet Master Wei, who has been traveling outside for more than ten years.

"Puppet Master Wei, have you gained anything from these years of experience?"

The middle-aged traveling businessman played by Lan Chang'an has shrewd eyes and a philistine smooth temperament. He smiles and looks at the fourth-level Puppet, whom he has not seen for many years.

More than ten years ago, in order to break through to the true fourth level Puppet, Puppet Master Wei traveled and gained spiritual light, which would help Puppet Spirit to advance to the Nascent Soul level in the future.

"Nowadays, my Puppet Spirit can't make any progress. I have gained insights from my previous travels, but I still can't transform and improve Puppet Spirit."

Puppet Master Wei's tone was calm, much less aggressive than he was at the beginning, and he was not discouraged because of his failure in promotion.

Even the ancient Thousand Mechanisms Cult who inherited the puppet refining tradition, most of the fourth-level Puppet are the same as him. Although Law Power can compete with Nascent Soul's cultivation at the level of Law Power, there is a gap at the soul level.

True fourth level Puppet and Thousand Mechanisms Cult are also very rare, belonging to a level that Puppet Master Wei had never set foot in during his lifetime.

Lan Chang'an learned about the situation and pondered, "The areas that Mr. Wei traveled to before were limited to those around the Cloud Glow Sect's influence, and they were not completely integrated into a certain life and profession, so there are some limitations."

Puppet Master Wei's previous travels were not only geographically restricted, but also just observing and comprehending in a certain place, which was not enough Earth Qi nor selfless enough.

"Daoist Lu's words make sense. This time I will travel with you to various places in Central Region to see the elegance of the civilization that cultivates immortality in various places in Great Abyss."

Puppet Master Wei accepted it humbly. Years of getting along with him and his continuous understanding of Lan Chang'an made him let go of his former arrogance and become more humble.

If Puppet fails to advance to the true fourth level, he will not be indispensable under Lan Chang'an.

"In the next few years, Mr. Wei will call me boss."

Lan Chang'an explained.

Puppet Master Wei nodded, looked at Lan Chang'an, who looked like a middle-aged traveling businessman carrying a large trunk on his back, and understood his position for this trip.

From now on, he will be Lan Chang'an's guard.

Woof!

A Yellow-Haired Earth Dog appeared on the other side of Lan Chang'an, rubbing his trouser legs intimately.

"Living up to his master's instructions, Little Mouse has cultivated Illusion Transformation Art's canine form to perfection."

Yellow-Haired Earth Dog wags its tail and spits out human sounds.

"Not bad."

Lan Chang'an nodded in approval. Earth Rock Rat left the sect and resumed some of his previous diligence and progress.

From now on, Earth Rock Rat will not only have to find his own food in the wild, but will also sometimes have to provide food for his master, including exploring paths, guarding, keeping vigil, etc.

A desolate, poor place.

One person, one puppet, one pet, the long shadows in the dusk are hidden in the dust.

Two years later.

Lan Chang'an traveled through several power sectors in Central Region, passing through large and small immortal cultivation forces.

As a traveling merchant, Lan Chang'an made deals with all kinds of monks, not even limited to humans.

Lan Chang'an has a lot of useless resources at hand, and has a variety of immortal cultivation skills, so he can make a lot of profit from every transaction.

Due to his extraordinary vision, Lan Chang'an can occasionally "pick up mistakes" in transactions with middle- and low-level monks.

Individual spiritual objects and rare treasures that have been picked up have certain effects and value even to high-level monks.

Of course, as a foreign businessman, if you occasionally leak money, it will inevitably be stolen and repaired by Evil Cultivator, or the local indigenous people will treat it as a fat sheep and slaughter it.

However, all the monks who had an idea for this pair of traveling merchants disappeared from the world without exception.

Whenever encountering this kind of thing, Earth Rock Rat is more excited and can have a toothpaste to change the taste.

When you are weak, you are weak; when you are strong, you are strong.

This is the traveling merchant group that Lan Chang'an belongs to. They travel the world in style and do business with monks from all walks of life.

Most monks cannot see the true cultivation level and details at all.

Even if it is Nascent Soul True Lord, you have to carefully explore it or get in close contact to see the clues.

Of course, Lan Chang'an never takes the initiative to cause trouble or harm the interests of others. The few times he takes action, it is self-defense out of helplessness.

In addition, this group of traveling merchants only stayed briefly in each territory, and their whereabouts were uncertain, so they did not attract the attention of local forces.

That evening, Lan Chang'an left from a small market town where Lineage was cultivating immortality.

In fact, Lan Chang'an originally had no intention of staying in the market town. This place was just a small trading base for Foundation Establishment who cultivated immortality Lineage, not even Marketplace.

"Master, the boy from yesterday has not shown up yet. Will he break his promise?"

Leaving the market town, Yellow-Haired Earth Dog transformed by Earth Rock Rat,

"It doesn't matter, it's just a time to find someone for guidance. There won't be any losses in this transaction?"

Lan Chang'an packed his bags and left the market town accompanied by guards and local dogs.

"Senior."

Just as we arrived at the intersection of the market town, a panting young man in yellow ran over with sweat all over his head.

"Senior Lu, according to the direction you pointed out, I found Xiaohong."

The boy in yellow shed tears of gratitude and bowed.

During this trip, Lan Chang'an used his real surname. Anyway, no one in Great Abyss knew Lan Chang'an, and the name he used was not his real appearance.

The boy in yellow is named Huang Fan, a Rogue Cultivator from Qi Refining Third Layer.

The "Xiao Hong" he refers to is named Huan Hongniang. She is a confidante whom she met on her first journey to immortality. She shared hardships and hardships at the bottom of Cultivation World, helped each other, and made a private decision for life.

However, in the past seven days, Huan Hongniang suddenly left without saying goodbye and disappeared. He could not be found.

Huang Fan was so distraught that he sought medical attention and sought help from passing merchants.

Because several mid- to late-stage Qi Refining Rogue Cultivators in the town had done business with Luyou merchants, and everyone was happy and behaved very politely.

Lan Chang'an agreed to Huang Fan's commission.

He travels all the way for business, meeting each other is fate, and does not refuse transactions or entrustments at all levels.

Therefore, Lan Chang'an did some divination and calculation, and pointed out the general direction based on the clues left by Xiaohong.

"Xiao Hong."

Huang Fan turned around and called softly.

Under the moonlit night, ten feet away behind him, there was a girl in red clothes with fluffy hair and a light body. She was shyly hiding behind the trees, watching quietly, like a deer half dodging, not daring to come closer.

"The matchmaker is unfamiliar, I hope senior can forgive me."

Huang Fan touched his head and apologized sheepishly.

"Hmm."

Lan Chang'an glanced at the girl in red dress in the distance, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Yellow-Haired Earth Dog at his feet, seeing the girl in red clothes, instinctively tensed up his body, his eyes were deep, and then he lay lazily on the ground.

"According to the previous promise, as long as I can find Xiaohong, I am willing to give the most precious thing in my body."

After Huang Fan said that, he took out the ancestral Tooth-Shaped Pendant and respectfully presented it to Lan Chang'an.

"Little friend Huang, I have both money and goods."

Lan Chang'an smiled brightly and pinched Tooth-Shaped Pendant in his hand. The latter was not damaged and he put it away.

After a few more pleasantries, Lan Chang'an reached out and patted Huang Fan on the shoulder before leaving.

The Huang Fan sent the middle-aged businessman away, and suddenly he realized that where he had been photographed, the Qi and Blood and Law Power were smooth, and the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Mid-Stage that had been stagnant for several years was faintly loosened.

"Ah Huang."

After confirming that the traveling merchant team was really far away, Huan Hongniang, who was hiding behind a tree, breathed a sigh of relief and came over with a smile on his face.

"It's interesting."

Lan Chang'an, who had traveled dozens of miles, made some calculations and smiled thoughtfully.

Huang Fan The strange tooth pendant passed down from his ancestors seems to come from some kind of ancient Demon Beast. It is too old and has almost lost its spirituality. Its strength cannot be shattered by his body-refining power.

The heel of Huan Hongniang is not simple, and the specific source cannot be deduced.

"Master, why didn't you eliminate demons and punish evil just now?"

Di Yan Jun remembers that Lan Chang'an took over the task of exterminating monsters before, and successfully eradicated the monsters that cannibalize people and receive rewards.

"This is a missing person transaction, not a demon elimination mission. However, it seems that you are also a demon. You have eaten..."

Lan Chang'an took his time and looked at it with a half-smile.

Di Yan Jun's hair stood on end, he couldn't help but shrink his head with a guilty conscience, and escaped into the ground.

One year later, Lan Chang'an entered Sang Kingdom, an ordinary immortal cultivation country in the southeast corner of Central Region, which belonged to the edge of Central Region.

Lan Chang'an walks on the wind, accompanied by green-armored guards and yellow-haired dogs.

On this day, he performed a divination as usual.

During his travels, he often used Divination Art to practice and improve his skills.

The first is to predict the approximate direction of bad or bad luck.

The second is for certain entrusted transactions, such as finding people and finding objects, telling people's fortunes, etc.

"Hey! After coming to Great Abyss for so many years, I finally encountered a superior hexagram, with auspicious stars shining brightly."

Lan Chang'an After the calculation was completed, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In his previous travels, he only occasionally divined small fortunes, such as Huang Fan and Huan Hongniang.

In the past hundreds of years, the overall fortune was average to low, and I encountered a disaster, and I came to Great Abyss.

However, blessings and misfortunes in life have their ups and downs, and it is impossible to have bad luck and many disasters all the time.

"Sure enough, if you work behind closed doors, you will have fewer opportunities. On this trip, just follow your heart and fate, accumulate good and eliminate evil along the way, and things will turn around."

Lan Chang'an thought to himself that since entering Sang Kingdom he was blessed with good fortune, he would stay here for a while longer.
