Chapter 231 Rumors
A month later, Lu Xiaotian only left himself a Green Frost Nightshade Pill and a part of the Huitian Pill, as well as a few soul-nourishing pills for emergencies. In addition to Zhudan and Hanfengdan, there are also some healing medicines.
The other foundation-building pills in hand, as well as a few extra soul-nurturing pills, as well as some other pills with a skilled alchemy technique, were all handed over to the previous partners, inside the barrier After gathering a large number of spiritual stones again, as well as a large number of high-grade spiritual stones, , Lu Xiaotian once again accumulated a large number of spirit stones in his hands, changed his appearance, and after using the Thousand Fantasy Mask, left Wangyue City. After all, his cultivation and alchemy were extremely secretive things. Once someone revealed After the crash, it was very inconvenient for him, who had always been alone, to move around. After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaotian decided to return to Lingxiao Palace.
Three days after Lu Xiaotian left, Wang Yan, who was wearing a green skirt at the Wang's Pill Shop in Wangyue City, had already reached the perfection level of Qi Refining. Holding a pill contract in her hand, Wang Yan came Go to the core meeting hall of the elixir shop. There was an old man with black hair sitting inside. It was Wang Defeng.
"Second Elder, this is a new casual cultivator who wants to entrust our elixir shop to refine a black jade bone-renewing elixir. The main spiritual objects have been collected, and some auxiliary spiritual objects are still missing. But he The time is a bit urgent, only ten days." Wang Yan said with a trace of black hair on her forehead.
"Black Jade Bone Renewal Pill? This is an extremely popular elixir, and it only has two spiritual objects. There are other auxiliary spiritual objects that are not a problem, but the only alchemists who have joined our elixir shop are Zhao Danshi and that... The back of the mysterious monk surnamed Lu The latter person has this strength, but Master Zhao has returned to the sect two years ago. I'm afraid it's too late."
"Isn't there still the senior named Lu? I should give him the trouble. Not big." Wang Yan asked.
"Fellow Daoist Lu? After working together for so long, don't you know anything about him?" Wang Defeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This man's dragon has never seen its end. I just received a transmission note from him when he left. It's He posted it five days ago."
"Huh?" Wang Yan suddenly looked disappointed, "It's a pity, and it's true that this Senior Lu, every time, I don't know when he will show up, nor when he will leave. Our pill shop Yi Nai is too However, if this senior Lu leaves for a few years at every turn, who knows what will happen later? How to maintain the current scale?"
"Yes, we reached a cooperation agreement with this fellow Daoist Lu, and after we obtained the elixir provided by him, our status in the weapons workshop increased dramatically. Improve. Until it becomes independent from the weapons workshop and establishes Dan alone. It can be said that the medicine shop is supported by the pills provided by this person. Anyone who has the ability always behaves differently from ordinary people. This fellow Daoist Lu is not weird, but he is extremely cautious. This may have something to do with the pills he masters. The medicine resources are related, so it is reasonable to be careful." Wang Defeng said.
"This time the Wangyue Immortal Cultivation World has experienced great changes, perhaps it is the reason why Master Zhao and Senior Lu left one after another. If these two people are no longer in charge, it will not take long for our elixir shop to be overtaken by other elixir shops. Cover it." Wang Yan said worriedly.
“There is nothing we can do about it, but fortunately we have accumulated a batch of elixirs from fellow Daoist Lu and shipped them out every once in a while to maintain the influence of Wang’s elixir shop. At the same time, we strive to cultivate ourselves low-level alchemists, and recruit other alchemists at high prices. Maybe Wang's Alchemy Shop can still Continue to develop. Of course, you must also make the best plan. Training an alchemist is not a day's work. With our current scale, we do not have the strength yet if something unexpected happens to Fellow Daoist Lu, or he does not appear again. "I'm afraid our elixir shop will really close down soon," Wang Defeng said with a wry smile and shook his head.
Wang Yan also sighed helplessly. It is much more difficult to train an alchemist than to train a foundation-building monk. As for the powerful alchemist behind Lu Xiaotian, I am afraid that even if he uses all the power of a sect, he will not be able to do it. It may not be possible to cultivate a few, not to mention that they are only a force in Wangyue City. Once the line with Lu Xiaotian is broken, I'm afraid the good days will come to an end. Wang Yan's eyes flashed. Although the elixir shop looked very prosperous at the moment, there were too many variables. Her qualifications were extremely ordinary. Wang Defeng was originally an ordinary elder in Wang's weapons shop, but with Lu Xiaotian's The two of them created a great foundation for the Wang family. While increasing his wealth, his own financial resources have also been secretly greatly improved. With the supply of a large amount of elixirs, Wang Yan has now reached the state of Qi Refining Perfection. Through various auctions and transactions, he has sold some privately in advance. According to the news, two Foundation Establishment Pills have been saved now. Of course, these two Foundation Establishment Pills were originally part of the auction provided by Lu Xiaotian, but she got there first through internal connections. Wang Defeng was originally just an ordinary elder in Wang's weapons workshop. In recent years, his cultivation has improved dramatically. Coupled with the benefits he earned for his family, he has become second only to the great elder. In her heart, Wang Yan was quite grateful to Lu Xiaotian. Without that mysterious person, she wouldn't be where she is today. But what Wang Yan is curious about is that she doesn't know who the other party is. I'm afraid Wang Defeng thinks the same way.
“Is it really impossible to contact Senior Lu now?” However, although she was prepared for the worst, Wang Yan still said unwillingly.
"Of course not. Fellow Daoist Lu said in the transmission notes that he is no longer interested in ordinary elixirs. The alchemist who contacted him may have to retreat for a period of time. If it is not a gold-condensing elixir or an elixir of the same level, , there is no need to contact him anymore. Even for the Condensing Gold Pill, Fellow Daoist Lu also gave a pretty good rate of 30%." Wang Defeng turned around and said with a smile.
"Second Elder, you are really good at whetting people's appetites." Wang Yan rolled her eyes at Wang Defeng, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a happy face, "This is great. Although Senior Lu will no longer take other pills, the Golden Condensation Pill, There is also a 30% elixir-making rate. With the reputation our elixir shop has gained, there will still be some monks willing to hand over elixirs to us for refining."
"Well, the situation is still the same. Not too bad." Wang Defeng nodded.
The clear calls of spiritual birds are heard continuously from the distant sky, and spiritual eagles can be seen in the distance, or the figures of spiritual eagles constantly passing by. It’s still that familiar mountainous area. The main hall of Lingxiao Palace towers into the clouds.
Lu Xiaotian, who was riding a black flying sword, had arrived in the airspace near Lingxiao Palace.
Immediately, several foundation-building monks flew over from a distance.
"Who is coming? You must be invited, and you are not allowed to enter Lingxiao Palace without permission!" The young monk in the lead looked familiar, and he took the initiative to shout loudly.
But when he flew closer, the young monk couldn't help but look happy and shouted, "Brother Lu, why are you back?"
"Are you Luo Kang?" Lu Xiaotian felt that he looked familiar before, but now after careful analysis, he discovered that it was indeed Luo Kang, the Qi Refining Dzogchen monk who requested his independent mountain when he was building the foundation. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for several years, he had successfully built the foundation.
"Yes, Senior Brother Lu, why, after we haven't seen each other for a few years, Senior Brother Lu doesn't recognize me anymore?" Luo Kang looked happy and didn't mind that Lu Xiaotian didn't recognize him.
"Your temperament has changed too much since you established the foundation, and your appearance has also changed a little from before, so I didn't recognize you for a while." "Senior Brother Lu has good eyesight. It's true. I took a dose of This strange pill has some changes in appearance and temperament.”
"Senior Brother Luo, which peak domain is this Senior Brother from? It seems that you are very familiar with each other." asked a young female cultivator in a blue dress who was with Luo Kang.
"More than familiarity, if it weren't for Senior Brother Lu, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm afraid I would still be practicing in the realm of Qi Refining Dzogchen, and I would have no chance of building a foundation." Thinking of the past, Luo Kang Very sad.
"I see. It seems that Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Lu have reunited as old friends. They must have a lot to say. Senior Brother Luo can leave as long as he wants. Just leave this place to me and Junior Brother Wang." The young female cultivator said reasonably.
"Then I'll trouble Junior Sister Yu and Junior Brother Wang." Luo Kang nodded.
"Senior Brother Luo took great care of us before, just go and do your work." Junior Brother Wang also said.
"By the way, the senior brother Lu just now must be our legendary monk Lu Xiaotian from Lingxiao Palace." Not long after Luo Kang and Lu Xiaotian left, Junior Brother Wang suddenly woke up and said.
"No, it can't be. The aura of Senior Brother Lu just now seems to be slightly stronger than ours." Junior Sister Yu, who was wearing a blue skirt, looked incredulous.
“Although Senior Brother Luo is approachable most of the time, he doesn’t really like those monks from well-off families. Except for the rumored Senior Brother Lu Xiaotian who he highly admires, I have never seen him be so polite to anyone. "But, besides, didn't Senior Brother Luo also say a few months ago that his success in building the foundation was entirely due to Senior Brother Lu Xiaotian?" Junior Brother Wang said with certainty.
"Yes, I didn't expect that I would be able to meet the rumored senior brother Lu Xiaotian. God is really blessing me." Junior sister Yu in the blue skirt suddenly had stars in her eyes, looking like a nymphomaniac.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that Senior Brother Lu Xiaotian left the palace right after he established the foundation. He left for several years. Although he never returned to the palace, he discovered a palace for the sect during his external inspection mission. There are even rumors about the genius of the Ancient Sword Sect. After the disciple Yuan Hao established the foundation, he was once again frustrated by Senior Brother Lu. For a casual cultivator to reach this point, Senior Brother Lu is indeed a legend among those of us who are casual cultivators."
"That's not all, our Lingxiao Palace. In the same batch as Senior Brother Lu None of the foundation-building disciples were suppressed by Senior Brother Lu during the Qi Refining Stage. I heard that Senior Brother Lu’s talent was not very good. Even if he made great contributions to the Immortal Palace in the Scarlet Forbidden Land, no one was willing to accept him. Senior Brother Lu is a disciple, but Senior Brother Lu relies on his own His abilities were even compared to those of the genius disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect. I heard that Luo Qian from the Lingtian Peak Domain was accepted as a disciple by Senior Jindan. However, he was stimulated by Senior Brother Lu during the outer patrol mission and returned to the Immortal Palace. After that, I will go into seclusion and practice hard," Junior Sister Yu said with excitement.
Junior Brother Wang said with some confusion, "But just now I clearly felt that Senior Brother Lu's cultivation level is not high."
"You are really stupid, if you can even peek at Senior Brother Lu's With his true cultivation level, can Senior Brother Lu still be able to defeat those so-called genius monks?”
“That’s true”
Lu Xiaotian had just returned to Shanmen, and he wanted to ask someone about many things. Luo Kang happened to volunteer, so he naturally would not refuse. In fact, Lu Xiaotian didn't need to ask any more questions. When Luo Kang met Lu Xiaotian again, he was so excited that he poured out a bamboo tube and told all the big and small things that had happened in Lingxiao Palace in the past few years.
It turns out that Lingxiao Palace has undergone many changes in the past few years. A Jindan monk named Chen passed away in Lingxiao Palace. Huo Yuming had a conflict with two Jindan monks from Yuanxing Palace. He was seriously injured and has been in seclusion. However, the two Jindan monks from Yuanxing Palace were not able to please him. One of them was said to have passed away last year, and the other one could not come out of seclusion. And more than thirty foundation-building monks died in the battle with foreign monks.
“I didn’t expect that so many things have happened in Lingxiao Palace in recent years.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled. Even an extremely rare golden elixir body cultivator like Huo Yuming was seriously injured, but with one against two, it seemed that he was still The golden elixir monks in Yuanxing Palace suffered even greater losses. As expected of the golden elixir physical cultivators, their combat power was not comparable to that of ordinary monks of the same level. However, Lu Xiaotian was a little curious. At the level of the golden elixir monks, it was rare to Make some pointless fights. And Huo Yuming actually fought to the death with two monks from Yuanxing Palace. I don't know what kind of treasure it was, but it actually caused such a big fight between the three golden elixir monks. Generally speaking, most sects would turn a blind eye to the fight between foundation-building disciples and qi-refining disciples, as long as it was not too outrageous. However, fights between golden elixir monks would often shake the foundation of a sect. After all, the loss of one is a big loss for the sect. In contrast, Luo Kang used some of the best offensive and defensive spiritual weapons he gave him to obtain two foundation-building pills in the triennial sect competition. Successfully building a foundation can only be regarded as a very small thing.
"Compared with these, there is another thing that is quite sensational, that is, Senior Brother Lu, you once again easily defeated Yuan Hao, a genius disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect. I heard that during the outer patrol mission, Luo Qian and Senior Brother Lu Met once After that, he also went back to the mountain to practice hard. Among the new disciples who established the Foundation in recent years, Senior Brother Lu was named the number one disciple in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. If they knew that Senior Brother Lu was coming back, I don’t know how many disciples would do it. come to you Challenge." Luo Kang said with a smile, "Maybe I will be lucky enough to see what Senior Brother Lu can do."
"The rumors are somewhat untrue." Lu Xiaotian didn't expect that he would be out of town for a few years. It will also have such an impact in Lingxiao Palace, but it is not surprising if you think about it carefully. When he defeated Yuan Hao outside Wangyue City, many people were present, and besides those from the Ancient Sword Sect, there were also other sects. There is nothing wrong with spreading the word among people. As for the so-called top master in the early stage of foundation building, he could only laugh at it. Now he is already a monk on the fifth level of foundation building. Fortunately, his affairs in Hunyuan Daozang are not known to ordinary people, even if they are Luo Qing was not entirely sure. If others knew that it was rare to find good ninth-level foundation-building monks under him, he didn't know how surprised they would be.
