I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 428: The bond has ended, ten years have passed in a flash

a few days later.

The news that True Lord Changqing had returned to Jinyun Valley spread back to the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, including the remote Wuye City.

On this day, two beams of Jindan light approached Jinyun Valley.

"Xiaochuan, pride cannot be eaten. When you meet your uncle Lu later, you should be more respectful. Changqing Zhenjun keeps his promise and is good to the younger generation."

The middle-aged man with slightly graying hair, wearing a wide robe with purple patterns, spoke earnestly.

The aura of elixir power in the late stage of Jindan reveals the identity of "Master Wuye", the number one independent cultivator in Liang State.

The young man flying side by side with Jiang Yechen was wearing a light blue gown, had a fair complexion and a handsome temperament.

"Who said before, 'Even if he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, we don't need to curry favor with him'? Now, my godfather is being so serious about it."

Shi Xiaochuan said without comment.

"You bastard! Didn't you agree with your father's words? You even said something like 'I will never bend my back to my pride'!"

Jiang Yechen became angry and scolded.

"Whether he comes to Jinyun Valley or not, Xiaochuan will follow his foster father."

Shi Xiaochuan spread his hands and said indifferently.

"If you don't come, I will disband Wuye City. If I meet Master Lu, I will be respectful and polite, but I will never ask him for help."

"That's fine! Just don't look so stern when dad speaks."

Jiang Yechen sighed.

Due to his education since childhood, Shi Xiaochuan is like his former self in some aspects, and coupled with his outstanding talent, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant.

Under the subtle influence of his thoughts, Shi Xiaochuan did not have a very good impression of the Changqing Zhenren of that time.

From Shi Xiaochuan's perspective, Changqing Zhenren "abandoned" his elderly adoptive mother Shi Manyong in his early years, and later looked for another lover, becoming fickle and fascinated by the old.

Recently, upon learning that Fairy Xia, the concubine of True Lord Changqing, had successfully conceived a baby, Jiang Yechen could no longer contain himself.

He changed his mind and took Master Xiaochuan to meet Lu Changan.

……

Arriving at Jinyun Valley, the disciples guarding the mountain did not dare to delay and reported the news immediately.

An imperial decree soon came from the Changqing Peak Taoist Temple, stating that Master Lu wanted to meet with the two of them.

Jiang Yechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had not come to pay a visit to Changqing Zhenjun before, not only because of his arrogance and unwillingness to ask for help, but also because he was worried that the other party would ignore him and alienate him after he became successful, which would be boring for him.

Under the guidance of the sect's monks, the father and son entered the heart of Jinyun Valley.

Shi Xiaochuan put away his nonchalant expression, and his heart became inexplicably tense, no longer as calm as he had expected.

For Shi Xiaochuan, this was the first time in his cultivation career that he was personally received by Yuanying Zhenjun.

Entering the dojo residence, there is a side hall.

The two saw the familiar figure of Changqing Zhenjun sitting in meditation, dressed in white.

"Jiang Yechen from Wuye City, nice to meet Master Lu."

"Junior Shi Xiaochuan greets Uncle Lu."

Jiang Yechen and Shi Xiaochuan saluted together.

Hundreds of years have passed, and Jiang Yechen feels mixed emotions when he sees Lu Changan again, who still looks young and has not changed in appearance.

Those monks of the same generation, whether old friends or enemies, all turned into dry bones.

As a True Dan cultivator, there is a 99% chance that he will die.

Among the old friends he met, Lu Changan was the only one who had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

Shi Xiaochuan was slightly startled. When he was a teenager, he had met Master Changqing with his adoptive mother.

The image of the man a hundred years ago is almost completely the same as the current one, except that he has a more vicissitudes of life accumulated over the years.

At this moment, he suddenly understood his adoptive mother's circumstances and state of mind back then, and why she and Lu Chang'an separated naturally without any resentment or grudge against each other.

In the long life of Changqing Zhenjun, his mother, Master Manrong, was just a passer-by in a certain stage of his life. Master Manrong had long understood this point, and was satisfied with that beautiful process, and never sought fame and final results.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. I only have a few old friends left in Liang State."

Lu Changan showed a nostalgic look and raised his hand to invite the two to sit down.

Inside the hall, Lu Changan and Jiang Yechen were reminiscing about the past, speaking in a casual tone without putting on any airs.

Shi Xiaochuan listened quietly at the side, and responded respectfully when he was talked about.

"At Xiaochuan's age, it is not easy to become a third-level mid-grade formation master. However, practicing the great way is the foundation, and you need to distinguish the primary from the secondary."

Lu Changan just made a simple comment.

As for the specific practice, Jiang Yechen, who is in the late Jindan stage, will give guidance and instruction.

Shi Xiaochuan has a top-grade spiritual root, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of Jindan.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a rare genius, but in Lu Changan's eyes, he is just above average.

The quality of the resulting real elixir is probably average, and also not outstanding.

With such a foundation, the hope of forming a Nascent Soul is slim, and it is not even qualified to become a spare tire for the Nascent Soul seed in a large sect.

Since he has devoted part of his energy to studying formations, Shi Xiaochuan has little hope of advancing to the late stage of Jindan in the future.

Jiang Yechen also has a top-grade spiritual root, and was able to cultivate to the late stage of Jindan. In addition to his brave battles in the past, he also had many opportunities.

An hour later.

Lu Changan stood up to see the guest off.

Before leaving, he gave Shi Xiaochuan some gifts.

In addition to the elixir that can break through the late stage of Jindan, the protective talismans and puppets, there is also a set of fourth-level formation inheritance.

This set of formation inheritance is partly from Dayuan, which is different from the school in Daqing. It should be able to promote Shi Xiaochuan's attainments in formation.

Lu Changan's aptitude for formations is much stronger than that for alchemy, but inferior to that for talismans and puppet refining.

However, he has not had more energy in recent years to study new techniques for cultivating immortals.

Shi Xiaochuan is different. He has better qualifications and since the chances of forming a fetus are slim, he will have more time to study formations in the future and may have a chance to become a fourth-rank formation master.

……

With the astonished gazes of the monks from Jinyun Valley seeing them off, Jiang Yechen and his son set out on their return journey.

"Godfather, why didn't you ask Uncle Lu for help before the trouble in Nightless City? If the promise made back then can only be used once, Xiaochuan would rather..."

Shi Xiaochuan opened the brocade box containing the gift from Master Lu. After glancing through it with his spiritual sense, he couldn't help but feel a heavy weight and swallowed the rest of the words.

During the previous conversation, Jiang Yechen did not directly mention the difficulties and troubles of Wuye City.

In the early days, Wuye Town was built by Jiang Yechen and Shi Manrong with great effort. Over the past hundred years, the father and son have worked hard to build it, and it has not been easy.

Shi Xiaochuan grew up here and is actually reluctant to leave. It is not as easy as he said before.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, realm strength is the fundamental premise of everything. Under the premise of only one promise, Lu Zhenjun's opportunity and support are more important to you."

Jiang Yechen stroked his beard and smiled, he had his own plan:
"If the information is correct, among all the old friends and juniors that Master Lu met, ours took the longest, a full hour."

"An hour?"

Shi Xiaochuan was thoughtful and couldn't help but admire his adoptive father's wit, using one promise as two favors.

as predicted.

A few days after Jiang Yechen and the others returned, the situation in Wuye City took a turn for the better.

The high-ranking monks from the sect who had entered the city to investigate withdrew from the city one after another.

The various forces in the Jinyang Sect camp that tried to get involved in the interests of Wuye City fell silent and stopped some of their tentative moves.

Many large chambers of commerce and large families that had been waiting and watching took the initiative to seek meetings and discuss major cooperation with Wuye City to demonstrate their sincerity.

The Nightless City not only resolved the crisis and troubles, but also ushered in better development opportunities.

"Father is right. Pride can't be eaten."

After that meeting, Shi Xiaochuan had let go of his prejudices, and after this experience, he was filled with emotion.

……

A few months later.

In the Liang Kingdom's world of immortal cultivation, the impact of Lu Chang'an's return on the situation exceeded the expectations of Jiang Yechen and his son.

A few days ago, representatives from the two major Nascent Soul sects of Liang State held discussions and negotiations.

The power structures of Liang State's immortal cultivation world were readjusted and divided.

Previously, as a newly-emerged Yuanying force, Jinyun Valley lacked foundation and had only one Yuanying True Lord who controlled one-third of the territory of Liang State.

With the joining of Lu Changan, Jinyun Valley is equivalent to a sect with three Yuanying combat power. This division of power is naturally somewhat inappropriate.

The right to speak in the world of immortal cultivation has always been measured by strength.

After Lu Chang'an helped his concubine to conceive, the Jinyang Sect was finally willing to make concessions.

The Wei Dao League stepped in to coordinate the matter.

From now on, Jinyang Sect and Jinyun Valley will each occupy half of the territory and power in Liang State.

Due to geographical factors, Wuye City still belongs to the sphere of influence of Jinyang Sect.

As the "losing" party, the Jinyang Sect received partial resource compensation in the negotiations, and the half of the territory it controlled had better resources and spiritual veins.

Such a result has exceeded Zhang Tieshan's expectations. In addition to resource compensation, he also promised several shots from the fourth-level weapon refining master.

Jinyun Valley, a forbidden area in the back mountain.

Lu Changan and Zhang Tianfeng raised their glasses and drank, reciting poems as they drank; they recalled the wasted years in the past and watched the ups and downs of the present.

Several hundred years ago, the two of them had just entered the world of immortal cultivation as young Qi-refining cultivators, standing like minions.

Who would have thought that today we would be in charge of the world of immortal cultivation together.

In the end, the two people who were slightly drunk couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

Looking back at the past, the old friends or beauties who knew each other in the same era have long turned into dust, and only the two of them are still standing on the top of the clouds.

……

When Lu Changan and Zhang Tieshan raised their glasses to the moon.

In the direction of Fengyuan Kingdom, a third-order green boat rode the wind and clouds, passed through the endless flying sand desert, and entered the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world.

There was a man and a woman on the third-order flying boat, both of them exuded the aura of a golden core, which made people retreat.

"Brother, please accompany me on this long journey to the Kingdom of Weidao League." A clear female voice came from a female cultivator who was wearing a pale blue classical fairy dress, with starry eyes and white teeth. Only a piece of white gauze concealed her beautiful appearance as "Fairy Yunmeng".

"That's fine! You and I, brother and sister, can gallop across the desert as a new experience. Besides, this trip to the Guardian Alliance can help us purchase a lot of resources and understand the situation of the Demonic War."

The man on the flying boat was about thirty years old, wearing a straight-collared green robe. He stood tall like a pine or cypress, with a heroic air reflected between his brows.

The brother and sister in front of them are naturally the Yun brothers and sisters who are famous in Fengyuan Kingdom.

The elder brother's name is Yunhao and the younger sister's name is Yunmeng.

After the Yun brothers and sisters entered the State of Liang, they changed their identities in a low-key manner and used secret techniques to disguise themselves.

With the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the two entered the northern part of Liang State and crossed the Black Blood Road that formed the crack of the Black Mist Mountains.

A few days later, they arrived at Wuqi Mountain.

Looking at the undulating mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, they are not tall or steep.

Yun Meng felt dazed for a moment, and a long-lost sense of familiarity surged into her heart.

After forming the elixir, she changed her name to Dao because she occasionally had strange dreams.

The most familiar thing in the dream was a spirit turtle and a gentle man in white clothes, which made her feel very close to him.

After careful consideration, Yunmeng didn't think it was because he was thinking about something.

Before Mr. Xu disappeared, he had interacted with her in the familiar situation of white clothes and a spirit turtle.

After the pill was formed, more similar scenes appeared in the dream. Yunmeng realized that it was Mr. Xu's hint to her before he left.

It was not until three years ago that Yun Meng heard about the drastic changes in the situation of the outer sect alliance and the legend of the mysterious Qinglong Society, so he went to Xuanyin Pavilion to inquire.

Mr. Xu left her a message, asking her to visit Xiaogui Peak in Wuqi Mountain when she has time.

Night time.

With their level of cultivation, it is not difficult for them to sneak into Xiaogui Peak.

Today, Xiaogui Peak is the ancestral home of the immortal cultivation family "Qi Family" and the headquarters of the Changwei Escort Bureau.

After two hundred years of changes in the world, the structure of Xiaogui Peak has changed greatly, but the old site of the pool on the top of the mountain has been preserved due to ancestral teachings and is used to refine magic weapons.

Yunmeng stood in front of the pool, her mind dazed again, and the vague fragments of memory in her dream suddenly became clearer.

Many years ago, a young girl sat barefoot on the back of a black turtle and played in the waves.

"The tomb of Master's wife Guan Qiaozhi."

On a hilltop, Yunmeng found a mausoleum of extraordinary status. The words on the tombstone caught her attention, and her mind became dazed again.

"Guan Qiaozhi..."

Yun Meng silently recited the name, closed her eyes, and some familiar scenes emerged from the depths of her consciousness.

Yun Hao, who had been accompanying him all the way, couldn't help but seem to be thinking about something, but did not disturb him.

After a long time, Yunmeng opened his eyes and showed a hint of enlightenment.

The next day, after inquiring.

The Yun siblings learned that Xiaogui Peak was actually the former residence of the legendary Yuanying cultivator "Changqing Zhenjun" of the Liang State.

True Lord Changqing had a black water turtle with earth-grade bloodline, so he named this peak "Xiaogui Peak" in his early years.

In recent years, the rumors and deeds of Changqing Zhenjun have been very popular in the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation circles.

It is said that Lord Changqing did not forget his old favor and helped his concubine Fairy Xia to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, which caused a sensation.

"Fairy Xia...True Lord Xuanbing...concubine?"

Yunmeng found out that after Fairy Xia was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, he was not made his wife.

Then who will be left with the position of the principal wife?
Fairy Yunmeng knows herself well and it is definitely not herself.

According to the memory scenes in the dream, she was just a concubine. In addition to serving her master, she also fed and accompanied the water turtle, watching it grow up little by little.

Of course, Yun Meng’s extra memories at this moment are mostly fragmentary scenes, and there is a sense of alienation from the dream experience, not a true awakening of the past life.

The scene of Xiaoguifeng, the place where she had practiced for the longest time in her previous life, brought back more scenes and details from her dream.

……

half a month later.

The Yun brothers and sisters came to Jinyun Valley and sent a visiting card to Changqing Zhenjun as Jindan cultivators.

It turned out that Master Changqing was practicing in seclusion and was not receiving guests.

Outside the mountain gate, Yunmeng waited for half a month but received no news.

She felt a little disappointed and left with her brother Yun Hao.

"Mr. Xu has a concubine and a Yuanying fairy as his partner..."

Yunmeng knew before she set out that she could not have any expectations or demands.

A hundred years ago, before Mr. Xu left, he refined crystal-forming pills for her and her brother, and also left her a superior spiritual object for forming pills.

Mr. Xu not only did not owe her anything, but he was actually grateful to her.

After leaving Jinyun Valley, we passed by a lake two days later.

Wow!

The waves in the lake were surging, the sky was shrouded in clouds and mist, and a heavy rain began to fall.

Under the water curtain, a huge dark green turtle emerged from the lake.

"Big Turtle, but you?"

Yunmeng looked at the giant turtle flying towards her on the waves, allowing her to sit on its back and play. Everything seemed so natural.

Soon, laughter as loud as silver bells could be heard from the rain curtain lake.

Fairy Yunmeng seemed to have returned to her girlhood, her hair was wet, her long skirt was soaked by the waves, outlining the curve of her plump breasts.

"Is it really the water turtle from that year?"

Yun Hao opened his mouth slightly and sensed the subtle spiritual pressure from the Black Water Turtle, which was more threatening than the late Jindan stage cultivators he had seen.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

At some point, a half-demon rat man in a robe sitting by the lake yawned and smiled at the Yun brothers and sisters.

"The transformed demon king!"

Yun Hao's body was stiff and cold, his heart was shocked, and he could not sense the other party's magical energy.

After being together for half a day, the heavy rain in the sky gradually stopped.

Yunmeng understood and waved goodbye to the Black Water Turtle reluctantly.

"This is a gift from the master."

Lord Di Yan stepped forward and handed a storage bag to Fairy Yun Meng.

"Thank you for your gift, Master."

Fairy Yunmeng did not refuse and bowed in the direction of Jinyun Valley.

She didn't ask why Lu Zhenjun didn't meet her.

This long journey solved the mystery in Fairy Yunmeng's heart and achieved its goal.

Although she knew the truth, she had not truly awakened to her past life. Past life was like a dream, and this life was reality.

Fairy Yunmeng returned to Fengyuan Kingdom and the Outer Clan Alliance with her brother.

This long journey brought her many new insights into her spiritual practice and the art of drawing talismans, which would take some time to digest.

……

Jinyun Valley, Changqing Peak Dojo.

Lu Changan closed his eyes and meditated quietly, and his mood inexplicably became much lighter.

After returning to Daqing for so many years, he dealt with all the karmic ties of the past one by one.

Especially after repaying the promise owed to Shi Xiaochuan.

Before this, he had not met the Yun brothers and sisters because he did not want to cause trouble and attract the attention of the evil spies.

Lu Changan had taken the initiative to wake up Xiao Qingshan, but he did not do so for Fairy Yunmeng, allowing it to develop naturally. It was a good opportunity to compare the two.

For many years afterwards, the Weidao League and the Beast King Valley were in a stalemate and prepared for war, and no war between immortal cultivators broke out.

The Weidao League should use this as a training exercise to rectify its internal affairs.

The Beast King Valley camp has become much more low-key since Lord Di Yan eliminated many of its traitors.

During this period of balance and confrontation, Lu Changan focused his main attention on cultivation and magical skills.

In addition to occasionally going to Fengguo to meet with Fairy Xia in private and practice the "Dragon and Phoenix Double Cauldron Method" together, as the skills of the Double Cauldron Method become more sophisticated, the effect will be more lasting, and once a month is enough.

As this fourth-rank divination master intentionally concealed the truth, other people did not know the exact whereabouts.

……

Time flies, and ten years have passed.

In the secret room of the Changqing Peak cave.

On this day, Lu Changan opened his eyes, and a mysterious Taoist pattern flashed across his dark and deep pupils.

"The sixth level of the Thousand Machines Divine Art can slightly enhance the consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage."

A spiritual consciousness close to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul floated in the secret room.

At this time, Lu Changan did not let the fourth life come.

laugh!
An invisible spike, shaped like a long nail, pierced through a third-level spiritual plant in the secret room, causing the latter to wither instantly.

"Thousand Machines and Divine Art" has many wonderful uses for the power of consciousness. In addition to various puppet control applications, it also includes secret techniques for killing the soul.

After ten years of hard training, Lu Changan had made great progress in the several magical skills he specialized in, for example, he had made considerable progress in "The Dead Tree Divine Light".

The fourth-level skills of drawing talismans and refining puppets have become completely stable and are no longer a difficult entry point.

Lu Changan took the time to draw a batch of fourth-level talismans to deal with various situations; some talismans made from fourth-level spiritual wood talisman embryos are suitable for nourishment and improvement.

“If I cultivate the Thousand Machines Divine Art to the seventh level, when the fourth world comes, my spiritual power will probably surpass most of the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators and approach that of the Nascent Soul great cultivators. In that case, I will be able to look down upon the Eastern Region and pose a great threat to True Lord Qingmu.”

"Unfortunately, the situation does not allow it."

Lu Changan sighed and looked in the direction of the Seven-Nation Alliance. The war situation there was a bit chaotic.

Not only that.

In recent years, the Evergreen Yuanying in his body has produced distant sensations, also coming from the direction of the Seven Nations Alliance.
