I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

  Chapter 61 Second-order Talismans

  Introducing a second-level senior alchemist is only a key part of conspiring to establish a foundation alchemy.

  The biggest problem is actually the collection of foundation building pill materials.

  Lu Changan knows the formula of Zhuji Pill.

  I also know more than one kind of pill formula for building foundation pills, with slightly different ingredients and refining methods.

  The major forces in the world of cultivating immortals are like the sands of the Ganges River.

  For countless years, there have been countless forces who have mastered the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula. With the changes of the times, the Pill Formula has even slightly improved.

  The common recipe of Jidan is definitely not a secret, as long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to get it.

  The alchemy formula is not difficult, what is difficult is the material and the alchemist who masters the refining technique.

  The key main ingredients and auxiliary drugs of Zhujidan are basically monopolized by big forces.

   Regarding this, Lu Changan had a plan as soon as he arrived in Huanglong Immortal City.

  …

  Two years ago, he wrote a letter to Zhao Siyao, entrusting him to pay attention to the sect and collect materials about Zhuji Dan.

  As long as it is not the main material of Zhuji Dan and the key and scarce supplementary medicine, there is a chance to buy it in the sect.

  Some medicinal materials are not only used for Jidan, but also for other purposes.

  For non-strategic resources, the sect's control is not so strict.

  He trusts Zhao Siyao's character.

   It is not difficult for the monks who build the foundation to collect non-key materials.

   When the collection reaches a certain level, Lu Changan will go to Jinyun Valley and buy it with spirit stones.

  Lu Chang'an will not rely entirely on Zhao Siyao.

  He is in Huanglong Fairy City, and will continue to pay attention and collect information slowly.

  In Huanglong Fairy City, there are small auctions every year, and medium and large auctions every three to five years.

  As long as the financial resources are sufficient, and you are not afraid of high-profile and risks, theoretically, there is a chance to buy Jidan.

  …

time flies.

  In the next two years, Lu Changan's life in Huanglong Fairy City tended to be stable and leisurely.

  Cultivating body exercises, feeding pets, and studying skills will not change.

  There are currently more tasks to collect materials.

  Collect materials, not limited to Foundation Establishment Pills, but also second-order talisman materials.

   Half a year ago, Lu Changan bought a second-grade talisman pen in a high-end talisman tool store, which cost 1,500 spirit stones.

   This cost him a lot of spirit stones, so he sold some reserves of high-grade talismans.

  Experienced first-level top-grade talisman teacher, can barely control the second-level talisman pen, increasing the success rate of talisman drawing.

  Although this shot showed his richness, his behavior was not beyond common sense, and he was not a random cultivator with no heels.

  With a second-order talisman.

   As long as Lu Changan bought the second-order talisman paper and spirit ink, he could draw more second-order talismans.

   It's just that you need to be more restrained when buying second-order talisman materials.

  Lu Changan didn't want to expose his true character drawing skills, which was his biggest reliance before the alchemy stage.

  …

  For two years.

  The relationship between Lu Changan and Dewey has grown closer, and they often visit each other, so there is no need to bring gifts every time.

  Not long after that concubinage banquet, Dewey learned that Lu Changan had a background as a friend of the sect's foundation establishment, and had a high opinion of him.

   Later.

  Lu Changan split the worst inheritance of a second-rank low-grade alchemist into two halves. The part belonging to the first-order inheritance was given to Dewey.

  Dewey got the incomplete inheritance, so he guessed that Lu Chang'an would have a sequel, so he was naturally very concerned.

  Dewey no longer blindly asked for benefits from Lu Changan, but also gave back the cultivation pills in the later stage of Qi refining.

   There were comings and goings, and the two really became friends, and the relationship deepened day by day.

  …

  On this day, Lu Changan drew a second-order talisman in the secret room.

   Concentrating on it, most of his mana was exhausted, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

  The last arc-shaped rune lines are connected end to end on the second-order rune paper, as if an invisible current runs through all the rune veins.

  A terrifying spiritual pressure flashed across and froze on the second-order talisman paper.

   "Second-rank low-grade, thunder and lightning symbol."

  Lu Changan wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a smile.

  Lightning talisman belongs to the second-order talisman, divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.

  Its power is slightly stronger than ordinary second-order talismans.

  The lightning talisman drawn by Lu Changan, used properly, can threaten the initial stage of foundation establishment.

   There are actually restrictions on the use of talismans. The higher the grade, the more obvious the restriction.

   It doesn't mean that a Qi Refining Stage holding a third-order talisman can wantonly massacre the Foundation Establishment Stage.

  A high-grade talisman has terrifying power and a large range.

   Not only requires mana to stimulate, but also requires monks to guide and control, which requires certain requirements for spiritual awareness and mana control.

   Really think that talismans are like playing cards, and you throw hundreds of them at random when fighting?

  If that's the case, the world of cultivating immortals will be the world of talisman masters.

   During the Qi refining period, it is relatively difficult to guide the power of the second-order talisman. If you are a little careless, you will easily hurt yourself.

   As for the third-order attack talismans activated during the Qi refining period?

  I don't know if the enemy is dead or not, and I will probably burp.

  The alchemy-level power that the third-order talisman leaks casually, will instantly wipe out itself.

   Therefore, the top geniuses of the big forces go out to practice, and the high-level talismans bestowed by the elders are basically defensive and life-saving.

  Lu Changan is fine.

  Compared to the initial stage of foundation establishment, the spiritual consciousness can accurately guide the second-order talismans and exert the power of the foundation establishment stage.

  …

  After drawing the talisman, Lu Changan meditated and adjusted his breath.

   Mana will be recovered by 80%.

   Whoosh!

  A sound transmission talisman flew into the yard from the outside, and was ingested by Lu Changan.

   "Lu Fushi, there is good news, please come to my house!"

   Dewey's voice is heard in the sound transmission note.

"good news?"

   Lu Changan's heart moved, and when his mana recovered, he went to Danxinju next door.

   Dewey's house.

   Not only Lu Changan came, but also Su Yuetong, who was dressed in palace clothes and had long black hair.

   "Today, my master is in a good mood, and I happen to be free, so I will take you to meet his old man."

  Dewey smiled, and the mustache between his lips rose slightly.

  Su Yuetong couldn't help showing joy.

   I have been friends with Dewey for many years, not just to get to know that Hua Danshi.

   "Let's go, I'll take you to Master's mansion."

  Dewey acted resolutely, and took the two of them to the direction of Huanglong Mountain in the inner city.

   until it is near the foot of Huanglong Mountain.

   Luxurious or quaint mansions came into view of the three of them.

   "The spiritual environment of the second-order spiritual vein."

  Lu Changan was keenly aware that this place was in the transitional area between the inner city and Huanglong Mountain, and from time to time one could see the flashes of the foundation building period coming and going.

   "This is Huanglongfang. The owners of the various mansions are basically Foundation Establishment cultivators."

  Dewey said, and took the two of them into one of the garden-style mansions where a lot of medicinal herbs were planted.

   "Wait a moment, I'll ask Master for instructions."

   Let the two wait in the courtyard, and Dewey went directly to one of the temples.

   Waiting process.

  Lu Changan noticed that Su Yuetong, who had always been charming, seemed reserved and uneasy.

   This is the gap in the big realm.

   Even if you are a magnificent beauty, you should stay low and be a small one in front of your high-level seniors.

  What's more, Hua Danshi is not an ordinary foundation-building period, and holds the key to enter a higher realm of Qi refining peak cultivation base.

   After a while.

  Dewey returned the same way, with an unnatural expression on his face.

   "Master Du, how are you?" Su Yuetong saw that Dewey's expression was not right, and asked cautiously.

   "Two friends, I'm sorry."

  Dewey took a deep breath, calmed down, and explained:

   "Today is very unfortunate. A distinguished guest from Huanglong Mountain suddenly visited to discuss alchemy skills with the master. I am afraid that I will not have time to receive the two of you in the short term."

   "We're out of luck."

  Su Yuetong sighed bitterly, on this occasion, she didn't dare to complain.

  Huanglongfang is at the foot of Huanglong Mountain.

   It is normal for Master Hua to know the nobles of Huanglong Mountain.

  On Huanglong Mountain, apart from the real Huanglong who sees the head of the dragon but never sees the tail, there are many disciples and grandchildren.

   Among the disciples of Daoist Huanglong, there are two of Daoist Dan Dan alone.

   Not to mention the rest of the foundation-building stage masters.

  …

  The three returned angrily.

   On the way, Dewey expressed his apology again.

  Lu Changan didn't care, this time he only planned to get acquainted with Alchemist Hua.

   Waiting until the ninth level of Qi Refining and enough materials have been collected, he will find Master Hua to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

   Return to Jinxiufang.

  Dewey invited the two to his residence and hosted a banquet for them, which was regarded as an apology.

   After drinking a few cups, Su Yuetong left halfway.

   "Brother Lu, I was negligent this time."

  Dewey held the wine glass, approached him, and said in a low voice:

   "To express my affection, there are only two wives and concubines in Du's house. You can choose the rest, and I will spend the night with you tonight!"

  Holding Lu Changan's shoulder, he showed an ambiguous smile.

   "If one is not enough, you can choose two more."

   "Brother Du, don't be joking. I really didn't take what happened today."

  Lu Changan couldn't laugh or cry.

  Even if Dewey really doesn't mind, he is not interested in being the other's brother-in-law.

  Dewey's words are all about this, and today's incident seems to be an accident.

  Of course, most of the reason for Dewey's "heart-to-heart confiding" is because of the second-order alchemy inheritance in Lu Changan's hands.

   Dewey has benefited a lot from the part he got so far, and he is very jealous of the other half.

  …

   Return to Shuiyueju.

   Lu Changan returned to a peaceful day.

  Interact with the water turtle every day, feed animal food and evergreen mana, and accompany you during practice.

  Lu Changan sat cross-legged next to his legs.

  The little tortoise is like a seedling, constantly thriving in the light and shadow of time.

Three years later.

  The young tortoise swelled up a circle, comparable to a cattail fan.

  On this day, the evergreen mana in Lu Chang'an's body reached a higher level.

   "Fifty-three years old, eighth level of Qi refining!"

  Lu Changan realized that he was one step closer to foundation establishment.

   Not long after he was promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

  A monk who established the foundation visited Shuiyueju.
