The Road to Nascent Soul (4)
Before entering the hinterland of the Pill Dao Alliance, Lan Chang'an did all his divination and did not catch any obvious signs of crisis.
At most there will be some twists and turns, but the overall problem is not big.
First of all, the risk itself is relatively small when Nascent Soul Realm is refined into Infant Transformation Pill.
Secondly, Pill Dao Alliance, as a neutral force, pays attention to rules and reputation.
A few days later, Lan Chang'an arrived at the Qiu Kingdom, one of the Pill Dao Alliance countries.
The geographical resources of the Qiu Kingdom are similar to those of the Liang Kingdom, who was born in this life. There is only one fourth-level Spirit Vein.
Master Le is Grand Guest Elder of the Qiu Kingdom Nascent Soul sect "Fire Refining Pavilion". He is also one of the elders of the Pill Dao Alliance, with a transcendent status.
The residence of Master Le is located in the Spirit Vein sect of the fourth level, with a separate Earth Fire Peak.
It forms a mountain formation on its own to communicate with the outside world.
In the sky above Earth Fire Peak, a Late Core Formation overhauled Escape Light spiritual pressure approached.
Then, an elegant man in blue clothes appeared and fell towards this fourth-level spiritual peak that exuded a fiery aura.
Earth Fire Peak Welcome Hall, there are many high-level monks gathered there, including Golden Core Realm in the middle and late stages.
They are monks from all over the country who come to seek elixirs.
The high-level monks present were not surprised by the arrival of this stranger Late Core Formation, so they only took a brief look at it.
Earth Fire Peak did not neglect the guests. A middle-aged deacon False Core took the initiative to welcome them and provide them with guidance.
"I am Xu Xuan, a monk from outside the world who is well-known. I would like to ask Master Le to make elixirs."
Green-Robed Man was humble and elegant, and said with a smile.
This time when he came to refine the alchemy, Lan Chang'an disguised his identity. In this way, the identity of Infant Transformation Pill, who was refining the pill, would not be revealed so quickly.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu! Unfortunately, Master Le is refining elixirs in the main hall and has no time to come out to meet him."
False Core is neither humble nor overbearing in middle age, and acts according to the rules:
"If Fellow Daoist Xu has an elixir entrustment, he can make a reservation in advance at Earth Fire Peak and arrange the schedule. If it is a fourth-level elixir or lower, he can entrust other Alchemist on the mountain to refine it."
Hearing this, Lan Chang'an glanced at the Core Formation Cultivators in the Guest Reception Hall.
If there is no special relationship, even if it is Late Core Formation overhauling or asking Master Le to make elixirs in person, you will have to wait in line for a long time.
"Xu was entrusted by an elder to negotiate with Master Le in person."
Lan Chang'an's hand behind his back, quietly Hand Seals, used the special communication method left by Master Le.
"This... I dare to ask Daoist Fellow Xu about the name of the senior behind him. I will let you know as soon as Master Le comes out of seclusion."
False Core feels a little embarrassed in his middle age, but still has to do business.
With the status of a fourth-level alchemy master, some Nascent Soul True Lord will come to ask for alchemy and show respect and courtesy.
Lan Chang'an smiled and said nothing. At this time, he sensed a wave of Nascent Soul Cultivator and Divine Sense sweeping from the top of Earth Fire Peak. It was Master Le who must have received the message.
Not long after, an elegant girl named Pingpingtingting flew up from the top of the mountain. She was wearing a light blue fairy dress, with eyebrows like a crescent moon, a beautiful nose and almond-shaped eyes, and her aura was like a deep orchid.
"Le Zhenren."
"Fairy Qingni."
The high-ranking monks present stood up one after another and saluted politely.
Le Qingni is the granddaughter of Master Le. She is the younger generation with the closest bloodline and is quite favored by Master Le.
This woman, Golden Core Realm, is in the middle stage of cultivation. Her appearance and temperament are all those of Higher Vehicle, but her temperament is a little cold. On the way here, when she faced some complimentary and enthusiastic greetings, she just nodded slightly reservedly.
"This fellow Daoist, please move to the inner hall."
Le Qingni floated down in front of Lan Chang'an, bowed, raised his hand with a smile, and looked at Green-Robed Man curiously.
She was able to specifically ask her to come out to greet grandpa when he was refining elixirs. This kind of treatment was something that few disciples of Nascent Soul True Lord could enjoy.
As for this Late Core Formation True Person, she had no memory at all and had no idea what his background was.
"Excuse me Fairy Le."
Lan Chang'an returned the favor with a warm smile and followed Le Qingni to fly inside Earth Fire Peak.
"It's unreasonable to openly jump in line!"
"What kind of background does this person have that makes Master Le an exception?"
This scene made several high-level monks waiting in line feel dissatisfied, secretly complaining, and discussing privately.
Top of the mountain, Pill Fire Hall side hall.
The host and guest were seated, and the two maids poured tea and retired.
"Master Xu, Grandpa is making elixirs and will be out in half a day."
Le Qingni sits quietly and welcomes Lan Chang'an.
"It's okay, Xu has plenty of time."
"I dare to ask Master Xu, who is his master, and what kind of elixir is entrusted to be refined?"
During the conversation, Le Qingni became curious and tried to find out the details of Lan Chang'an.
"Xu comes from the Nascent Soul sect of Central Region and needs a fourth-level elixir."
Such an answer almost made Le Qingni roll his eyes. Isn't this nonsense?
Based on this person's cultivation and treatment, Master Le treated him politely, he must be here to refine the fourth-level elixir.
"Master Xu is preparing to refine Infant Transformation Pill?"
Le Qingni turned his eyes slightly, seeming to think of something.
"That's right."
Lan Chang'an was silent for a moment, not expecting to be easily seen through by this woman.
Thinking of the relationship between this woman and Master Le, I guess I won't be able to hide it when I make the elixir later.
After receiving a positive reply, Le Qingni smiled away, pursed her lips, and her eyes dimmed a bit.
The woman was silent for a few breaths, and then her words seemed low and careless.
Less than half a day.
Across the courtyard from the Alchemy Hall, a ray of red energy shot straight into the sky, emitting powerful spiritual pressure.
"The sight of the elixir flowing through the rainbow, the fourth-level elixir."
Lan Chang'an couldn't help but raise his head and analyze the properties of this elixir. It is most likely a type that promotes cultivation.
The fourth-level elixir corresponds to the Nascent Soul level and contains the charm of heaven and earth. Every time one is successfully refined, certain phenomena will occur.
Of course, the movement of this vision is much lower than that of promotion Nascent Soul, but the monks in the closer area can see it.
As Third-Order Alchemist, Lan Chang'an knows a lot of alchemy knowledge and principles.
However, his alchemy qualifications are too mediocre. He has practiced many skills concurrently in recent years, and his alchemy skills can only reach the third-level mid-level.
After waiting for a while, three people walked out of the Alchemy Hall.
Except for Master Le, whose hair is all white.
There is also a black-robed True Person wearing a bamboo hat; a handsome and heroic young man in purple-robed.
"Master Le's alchemy skills are superb, and he can touch the fourth-level mid-grade level. Nine of the ten [Purple Origin Pill] that were made this time are genuine. If the master knows about it, he will definitely be satisfied."
The black-robed True Person's face was red, and he smiled respectfully.
Lan Chang'an took a look, and the black-robed True Person practiced Evil Dao Cultivation Method, but it was considered common among Great Abyss Cultivation World.
The purple-robed young man on the other side was obviously not the same group as him, as his body exuded the residual power of the Fire Pill.
Lan Chang'an guessed that this person is "Brother Chu" whom Le Qingni mentioned just now, and Master Le's favorite disciple "Chu Yang".
Chu Yang is an alchemy genius, Peak Core Formation has cultivated his alchemy skills to the fourth level, and often assists Master Le in alchemy to share some of the pressure.
Chu Yang saw off True Person in black robe, and took a quick look at Le Qingni and Lan Chang'an in the side hall.
"True Person Xiang is so good at disguise. If I hadn't been summoned, I would have almost made a mistake."
Master Le had a big smile and greeted him personally.
"Seen Master Le."
Lan Chang'an stood up to greet him, stretched out his hand and wiped his face, returning to Xiang Dalong's appearance.
Since Master Le pointed out his identity, it can be seen that he has complete trust in his granddaughter and does not hide it.
Another one, the future agreement of Lan Chang'an may be extended to Le Qingni.
"True Person Xiang? This person is hiding his head and tail. Could it be that his identity is hidden from the light?"
Le Qingni looked at the bald young man whose appearance and temperament had changed drastically. Compared with his previous elegant image, his senses were somewhat lowered.
In Great Abyss, Xiang Dalong actually maintained the original appearance of Lan Chang'an, but they were shaved bald due to damage to the space shuttle.
If you don't deliberately use Evergreen Art to cure it, your baldness will not recover and it will look natural.
In addition, Lan Chang'an uses the characteristics of Cultivation Method to make the skin less delicate and white, making the overall appearance slightly rougher and older.
What surprised Lan Chang'an was that Le Qingni didn't seem to know his name.
If you think about it carefully, it's normal. It's just that he's being sentimental.
Pill Dao Alliance and Great Dayu Kingdom are two different boundaries in Great Abyss and Central Region, which are very far apart.
Just like the positional relationship between Great Qing Eastern Region, Dao Defense Alliance and Fengyuan Kingdom, Seven Nations Alliance.
Lan Chang'an used to be in the Dao Defense Alliance, and is not familiar with the situation of some high-level monks there at the Seven Nations Alliance.
Unless you are famous or pay careful attention, you can only know the details.
What's more, Master Le only called True Person Xiang, without revealing his full name or sect origin.
"Can you get the True Person Xiang materials together?"
After exchanging a few words, Master Le got to the point.
"Except for [Heavenly Infant Fruit], all other materials for Infant Transformation Pill are ready."
Lan Chang'an took out two main ingredients [Moonfall Flower] and [Miro Grass], as well as more than a dozen rare auxiliary ingredients.
All these materials were collected by Lan Chang'an himself. As a monk from Rogue Cultivator, this is extremely valuable.
If Seven Nations Alliance and True Lord Qingmu hadn't come to kill him back then, Lan Chang'an and even [Heavenly Infant Fruit] would have been able to get it.
Although the drug [Heavenly Infant Fruit] that I got the clue from the Heavenly Net Sect was a hundred years old, it has been several decades now.
Cultivation World is full of wonders. As long as you pay enough price, there are other methods to promote the production of medicinal materials, not limited to Evergreen Art.
It's just that Evergreen Art is more effective, and other methods are more expensive.
"Okay, the materials are complete and correct."
Master Le and Le Qingni finished counting the materials together.
As the granddaughter of Master Le, Le Qingni is also a third-level mid-level Alchemist.
However, her alchemy talent is not as good as that of alchemy geniuses like Chu Yang.
"This Heavenly Infant Fruit, please also confirm with True Person Xiang."
Master Le took out a green wooden box.
After opening, a translucent green spiritual fruit shaped like a baby is revealed, exuding a mysterious fragrance, which makes people fascinated, as if hearing mysterious sounds from outside the territory.
"Yes, this Heavenly Infant Fruit has sufficient medicinal properties."
Lan Chang'an After checking carefully, he nodded.
With three major Nascent Soul memories, he has naturally seen [Heavenly Infant Fruit] or [Infant Transformation Pill].
"Master, Qing Ni."
At this time, return after delivering the guest's Chu Yang.
Seeing the complete materials for refining Infant Transformation Pill, especially the [Heavenly Infant Fruit], Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and his complexion changed slightly.
This [Heavenly Infant Fruit] owned by Master Le, Chu Yang and Le Qingni, as the closest people, naturally know it.
"Chu Yang, you are in good condition recently, assisting the master in refining [Infant Transformation Pill]."
Master Le organized all the materials and waved to give instructions.
"Yes, Master."
Chu Yang agreed immediately.
The experience of refining [Infant Transformation Pill] is a valuable and rare experience for any alchemy master who wants to hit the fourth level Alchemist.
"True Person Xiang Don't worry, Chu Yang has experience in assisting the old man in refining [Infant Transformation Pill]. As a quasi-fourth-level Alchemist, he can also share the pressure during the alchemy process and increase Gao Cheng's chances of winning the elixir."
Master Le explained to Lan Chang'an.
"That's very good."
Lan Chang'an naturally will not refuse.
It is true that Chu Yang has accumulated experience and skills, but it is not a bad thing to join forces with the quasi-fourth-level and fourth-level Alchemist.
Master Le and Chu Yang entered Alchemy Hall one after another, followed closely by Lan Chang'an.
Le Qingni did not go in, but stood outside the hall, lightly pursed his lips, and his clear eyes moved, seeming to be unwilling and aggrieved.
Chu Yang was one step behind and looked at Le Qingni, signaling the latter not to get upset.
Although Lan Chang'an did not notice the eye contact between the two, he could see the close relationship between Chu Yang and Le Qingni.
The reason why Chu Yang was able to receive Master Le's efforts in cultivating him is probably because of his prospective grandson-in-law.
In the Alchemy Hall, Chu Yang turns on the formation fire to help fight.
According to the rules of Master Le, the employer will not be allowed to observe alchemy. After all, he is a fourth-level alchemy master, and his skills cannot be passed on to others.
When everything is ready, start the alchemy furnace.
Lan Chang'an walks out of the hall with interest.
In the courtyard outside the palace, Le Qingni was silent, with a look of sadness and resentment between his brows, and his delicate appearance made people feel pity for him.
Seeing Lan Chang'an approaching, Le Qingni returned to his cool and elegant demeanor.
"I dare to ask Fairy Le, that Chu Alchemist who has cultivated to Peak Core Formation, has he ever attacked Nascent Soul Realm?"
Lan Chang'an asked directly.
"Brother Chu attacked Nascent Soul Realm many years ago, but he didn't succeed."
Le Qingni responded in a low voice.
She saw Lan Chang'an's concerns and added, "Brother Chu used a Infant Transformation Pill back then. Grandpa's rule was that he would only be helped once."
Lan Chang'an Hearing this, he felt relieved.
It is not difficult for him to speculate that although Chu Yang is a genius in alchemy, his qualifications for cultivating immortals are not top-notch, otherwise the attack on Nascent Soul will fail and it will be difficult to survive.
Master Le For the sake of my grandson-in-law and the heir to the mantle, I will help him once at most.
Moreover, if you fail once, your vitality will be greatly damaged, and the chance of failure next time is often even lower.
Therefore, there should be no reason for Chu Yang to conspire to get involved with Infant Transformation Pill being refined.
Lan Chang'an estimates that Le Qingni's qualifications for cultivating immortals should be better than Chu Yang's, but he is much younger. Infant Transformation Pill will also be needed in the future.
But from the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm to the peak of Late Core Formation, it will take at least a decade, or even hundreds of years. It is not a good thing to prepare Infant Transformation Pill too far in advance.
Master Le's life is short, so he may hope that after his death, Le Qingni and Chu Yang can help each other. In the future, Chu Yang is expected to become a fourth-level Alchemist, and can also help her granddaughter to be promoted to Nascent Soul and take care of other descendants of the clan.
"Master Le's arrangements may not have been fully explained to the granddaughter."
Lan Chang'an sees the reason why Le Qingni is in a bad mood.
The Heavenly Infant Fruit in the grandfather's hands was given to an outsider to make elixirs, but he did not keep it for her, his own granddaughter.
Some of this woman's emotions are human nature.
In the alchemy hall, the ground fire was burning, and even though there was a formation to isolate it, there was still a feeling of warmth.
Le Qingni stayed for half a day and was not in the mood to accompany Lan Chang'an, nor did he want to talk.
She turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey! Fairy Le There shouldn't be anything urgent. How about chatting with a certain family?"
Lan Chang'an raised his arm weakly, half-smiling but not smiling, and said to stay.
"True Person Xiang, please be respectful."
Le Qingni is sullen, has a shy and angry tone, or feels that the person is offensive or disrespectful.
As the granddaughter of a fourth-level alchemy master, she has outstanding qualifications and a noble status. The other direct disciples of Nascent Soul True Lord all respect her and even try to please her.
At the moment, this person's identity is hidden, so arrogant and arrogant, and his playful tone seems to ask her to "accompany you".
"Fairy Le Calm down your anger. For ten days and a half at most, you and I can discuss Daoism and drink tea together."
"When the alchemy is successfully made, Fairy Le can go and stay free."
Lan Chang'an's tone is gentle and does not mean to be frivolous.
"True Person Xiang can rest assured that the little girl will never leak the news of refining Infant Transformation Pill to the outside world."
Le Qingni sounded cold and unhappy.
This person actually doubted her character?
Le Qingni snorted softly, waved his sleeves and left.
She was in a bad mood and didn't want to spend days with this bald man.
However, before Le Qingni could walk out of the yard, a Rat Demon, as big as a local dog, emerged from the ground and blocked its way.
Le Qingni was about to scold him when he touched the cold, bloodthirsty pupils of Rat Demon.
Under its lock, Le Qingni's mind was shaken, his whole body was cold, and his whole body was Qi and Blood stagnant.
"...Transformation Demon King!"
The invisible Earthly Fiend Demon Power shrouded his soul. Le Qingni looked pale, his waist trembled, his body was limp, and even his speech seemed difficult.
Fortunately, the momentum was locked in for only a moment.
"Di Yan Jun, be polite to Fairy Le."
Le Qingni came over in a trance, broke out in a cold sweat, stumbled back instinctively, his face turned pale.
Looking at Fairy Le who was so frightened that he almost peed, Lan Chang'an shook his head secretly.
This girl is obviously Core Formation Cultivator who grew up in a greenhouse. She lacks experience in actual combat methods and her living conditions are too good.
However, the intimidation faced by Tier 4 Demon King monks in the mid-Golden Core Realm period is indeed quite terrifying, and most people cannot bear it.
"True Person Xiang Please sit down and Qingni will make tea for you."
In the side hall, Le Qingni smiled sweetly, although it was a bit formulaic. However, it was the first time that he lowered his posture and accompanied a Core Formation Cultivator like this.
From the corner of her eye, she looked at the "Little Mouse demon" outside, and now she knew the origin of True Person Xiang.
Living in the Pill Dao Alliance, she once heard that Great Dayu Kingdom had a Core Formation Cultivator, and Spirit Pet owned Tier 4 Demon King. She was very envious at that time.
At this moment, Le Qingni is equivalent to accompanying a distinguished guest of Nascent Soul Cultivator. How dare you neglect him?
What's more, before her grandfather went into seclusion to make alchemy, he asked her to entertain True Person Xiang well.
She was in a bad mood, didn't take it seriously, neglected the guests, and knew she was in the wrong.
The days of waiting for the elixir to be refined are excruciating, and the days feel like years.
Especially the refined elixir is Cultivation World Sacred Medicine which is advanced to Nascent Soul.
Fortunately, I am accompanied by Fairy Le.
Sometimes we play chess, sometimes we drink tea, and sometimes we talk about Daoism, which makes the waiting time less boring.
Ten days later.
A ray of elixir energy shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a mysterious Sanskrit sound that rippled at the soul level.
"Level 4 elixir!"
"As expected of Master Le, he refined the fourth-level elixir one after another."
Earth Fire Peak's Guest Reception Hall, the waiting high-level monks couldn't help but marvel.
Unless you are proficient in the principles of elixirs, you can judge the approximate attributes of the elixir based on the signs of elixir energy flowing through the rainbow.
"Hey! Could this kind of alchemy scene be made into "Infant Transformation Pill"?"
The adjacent Fire Refining Pavilion, Supreme Elder and Nascent Soul True Lord looked at the Honghong Dan Qi in the distance, revealing a strange color.
Supreme Elder of the Fire Refining Pavilion is also a master of alchemy, but he can only barely touch the fourth level, and his skills are not as good as Master Le.
Of course, Master Le is not the first time to refine Infant Transformation Pill. This Supreme Elder did not make a fuss, but was just a little curious.
The alchemy hall was opened and the fire was extinguished.
"True Person Xiang, lives up to expectations."
Master Le's face glowed red, and there was a crystal-clear translucent elixir floating in the palm of his hand, about the size of a thumb. It was like a firefly in the night sky, and the faint light flowing around seemed to contain spiritual life.
"Genuine Infant Transformation Pill, good!"
Lan Chang'an looked excited, and put away the hard-won [Infant Transformation Pill] under the yearning eyes of Chu Yang and Le Qingni.
With this elixir in hand, the resources of Nascent Soul have been successfully gathered.
Next, Lan Chang'an only needs to return to the Cloud Glow Sect and impact Nascent Soul Realm on the fourth-order Spirit Vein.
In the Pill Dao Alliance's territory, you can actually attack Nascent Soul. However, with the help of the fourth-level Spirit Vein here, you often have to sign a guarding contract for more than a hundred years.
With his bond with the Cloud Glow Sect, he is not suitable to do this.
"Senior alchemy masters can see the signs of [Infant Transformation Pill], not to mention in the Pill Dao Alliance's territory. I'm afraid the news has been leaked..."
Lan Chang'an thought to himself that this situation was actually expected.
Such phenomena of heaven and earth involve the rules of heaven and earth, and cannot be covered up by ordinary fourth-level formations.
Fortunately, in the world of the Pill Dao Alliance, Lan Chang'an has no grudges or enemies.
Without further ado, return to the Cloud Glow Sect as soon as possible.
As long as you return to the Great Dayu Kingdom before Great Snake Mountain and other hostile forces get the information, you can avoid a major potential threat.
"I won't keep True Person Xiang as my guest. I hope True Person Xiang will remember the original agreement."
Master Le knew how Lan Chang'an was feeling, so he smiled and didn't try to hold him back.
Back then, he helped True Lord Yunlan refine the fourth-level elixir. The latter left Pill Dao Alliance and was attacked by surprise, causing the relationship with the Cloud Glow Sect to deteriorate.
"Master Le Don't worry, even if Xiang Nascent Soul Formation fails, Di Yan Jun will remember this favor."
Together with Di Yan Jun, Lan Chang'an bids farewell to Master Le and pays tribute to Chu Yang and Le Qingni.
After saying goodbye.
Lan Chang'an turned into a line of blue Escape Light, blending into the distant sky. The speed was far faster than Late Core Formation, which was staggering.
Earth Fire Peak, there are two Core Formation Cultivator who want to follow, but unfortunately they can't keep up.
As for the Escape Light of the Nascent Soul class, the momentum is extraordinary. The two Nascent Soul True Lords of the Qiu Kingdom, including Master Le, would not be able to do such an obvious violation of the rules.
"Grandpa, do you think this person will hit Nascent Soul?"
Le Qingni watched Lan Chang'an Escape Light disappear in the direction with mixed emotions and some unpleasant feelings.
Ten days ago, she forced her face to accompany the bald True Person Xiang, and he also used the Heavenly Infant Fruit that originally belonged to her.
She has no favorable impression of Xiang Dalong, and wishes that Nascent Soul Formation would fail.
"This person is older, probably around 380 years old. Logically speaking, the hope of promotion to Nascent Soul is relatively low."
Master Le stroked his beard, nodded and said thoughtfully.
As a master of alchemy, Nascent Soul True Lord, he naturally has the secret method of sensing and judging the approximate age of monks.
Lan Chang'an has had close contact with him many times, which is difficult to hide.
"Humph! At such an old age, you still waste a Infant Transformation Pill."
Le Qingni and Chu Yang were both a little surprised and a little regretful when they learned the approximate age of Lan Chang'an.
"However, this person has an extraordinary feeling of being old. It's hard to say whether he can be promoted to Nascent Soul."
Master Le and Lan Chang'an reached an agreement and naturally collected and analyzed the information about this person and found something unusual.
A few days later.
Lan Chang'an gradually flew away from the sphere of influence of the Pill Dao Alliance.
In order to increase the speed, he simply let Di Yan Jun transform back into Demon King body, and ride and fly directly, and the speed increased greatly!
In order to ensure safety, before and after he left Pill Dao Alliance, he performed a divination once a day, even at the risk of losing his life, to calculate the optimal route.
Perhaps it was because of the fast return speed, or because the fourth-level Demon Beast protected Infant Transformation Pill safely enough, and there were no accidents along the way until they were far away from the Pill Dao Alliance's sphere of influence.
Half Moon Empress.
Lan Chang'an returned to the Great Dayu Kingdom boundary smoothly and smoothly back to the Cloud Glow Sect mountain gate.
