Two hours later.

In a ravine in the Black Mist Mountains.

"There are suspects, and there are also evil murderers. You shouldn't be suspicious of me, a good old man who cultivates his skills."

Lu Changan was like a piece of dead wood, leaning against the stone wall, recalling this action and seeing if there were any omissions.

Xiang Jinglong had a conflict with Master Hua Dan before, killing people to seize the treasure, but was later scared off by the Fu Bao.

This person has every motive to kill, and the suspect will be blamed.

Although Master Hua Dan has a talisman, Xiang Jinglong is not in the ordinary late stage of foundation building. As long as the sneak attack is done properly, the deceased will not have the chance to use the talisman.

As a suspect, Lu Changan felt unsafe.

Xiang Jinglong may be able to provide alibi evidence and various excuses.

Simply, he dragged Liang Shaotian into the water again.

Li Hai, Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple, made a big fuss in the Qingming Secret Realm and appeared in the surrounding area. This happened not long ago in full view of everyone.

This kind of evil person kills people in a secret realm to seize treasures, and then kills a fat sheep alchemist outside without any logic or motive.

The method of killing was an evil cultivator, and the suspect was Xiang Jinglong, who had a bad reputation. The situation was confusing and difficult to clarify.

"After all, Master Hua Dan is just a casual cultivator who has friends with the higher-ups and is not a direct descendant of Huanglong Mountain."

Lu Changan thought.

Master Hua Dan died, and there were suspects and culprits. It was impossible for a big shot to investigate in depth for an outsider like him.

Both Hua Danshi and Huanglong Shan have many potential enemies.

There are only three real people in the direct line of Huanglong Mountain. They have to manage a huge fairy city and face difficulties and hostile forces, so they have no time to spare.

Huanglong Fairy City has been going downhill in recent years.

This time the secret realm was opened, three of the five mid- to late-stage foundation-building elites from Huanglong Zhenren’s lineage were lost, making the situation worse.

Lu Changan had previously sensed that Huanglong's life span was only more than ninety years, he had passed his prime, and his strength was in decline.

Under this background, the time for him to attack Master Hua was more mature than it was twenty years ago.

…

"A talisman...the main ingredient of the Beauty Pill...a special demon core..."

Lu Changan took stock of Master Hua's storage bags, his eyes were bright and he was overjoyed.

The trophy from killing Master Hua gave him a big surprise.

Needless to say, Fu Bao.

This great weapon in the foundation building stage can be activated twice by visual inspection.

It seems that Xiang Jinglong's main ingredient of the Beauty Pill and the special demon core were sold to Master Hua, and he targeted the latter after the sale was completed.

These two objects represent the two core main materials of the Zhuyan Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even after buying these two items, Master Hua Dan still has two to three thousand spirit stones in his storage bag.

Two top-quality magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense.

There are two second-level alchemy furnaces, one of which is top grade.

A large amount of herbal materials for alchemy.

The most valuable items are those bottles and cans.

Lu Chang'an judged that there were twenty or thirty bottles of second-level elixirs.

Two of the bottles are of high value.

"Two Jade Clear Pills will help break through the bottleneck and advance to the middle stage of foundation building."

"Three Blood Yang Pills can greatly enhance the foundation-building monk's magic power in a short period of time. The side effect is the loss of vitality and the body will be weak for a while. If you take care of it and recover in time, it will not damage the root."

Yuqing Pill is a level-breaking elixir in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Many people in the Foundation Establishment stage are hard to find, such as Mu Renlong back then.

However, this elixir is of little significance to Lu Changan.

According to his experience during the Qi refining period, he has cultivated the Qing Gong, and he can successfully break through this small bottleneck when the time comes.

However, the Blood Yang Pill, which increases mana, is somewhat useful to Lu Changan.

"Xiang Jinglong also has the main medicine of the second-level life-extending pill in his hand. Master Hua did not buy it. He should have taken the second-level life-extending pill before." Lu Changan speculated.

Master Hua bought the main medicine of the Zhuyan Pill because he probably wanted to make friends and cling to the upper echelons.

…

After counting the loot, destroy the unknown items,

Lu Changan made a slight arc outside the Black Mist Mountains and came to the broken canyon on the west side, which was the way he came.

Later, Lu Changan used the second-level acceleration talisman to return to Wuqi Mountain in the normal travel time.

Whoosh!

From Wuqi Mountain, a dignified and beautiful woman in a moon-colored dress flew out.

"Master Fairy."

Lu Changan said hello.

"Master Lu Fu." Shi Manrong nodded, stopped and chatted briefly.

The current relationship between the two is similar to that of ordinary Taoist friends, with an added subtlety that cannot be explained.

Mainly because two years ago, Shi Manrong mentioned the suicide note he wrote before he fell into coma.

At that time, Lu Changan was surprised and only believed six or seven points.

Pretending not to know and prevaricating.

Fortunately, Shi Manrong did not get to the bottom of this matter, but had an attitude of looking forward to everything.

"Master Fairy, where are you going?"

Lu Changan asked casually.

"Huanglong Fairy City." Shi Manrong did not hide anything and flew away through the air.

Shi Manrong, who has lost part of his memory, has not changed much overall. He is dignified, elegant, and noble.

The difference is that he no longer behaves in a charming and ambiguous manner toward Lu Changan.

In addition, I am more optimistic than before, my ambition has become stronger, and I often go out to set up formations.

…

Back at Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan took a comfortable bath.

During this trip to the secret realm, I got third-order spiritual wood, third-order black iron crystal, black ink rock and other items, which was slightly beyond expectations.

Meeting Dan Master Hua by chance, he succeeded in taking revenge, and the harvest was astonishing, but it was an unexpected surprise.

By killing Alchemist Hua, half of the hatred of blocking the way was solved.

A few days later.

Lu Changan asked Guan Qiaozhi to assist him in making the talisman's embryo from the third-level mid-grade "Purple Dazzling Spirit Wood".

Guan Qiaozhi and Mu Bingyun can both help with this matter.

However, Lu Changan trusted Guan Qiaozhi more.

That piece of purple spirit wood, after removing the dead skin and dead parts, can be made into the embryos of seven or eight treasure talismans.

"The third-level mid-grade base material will be a waste given my current cultivation and talisman skills."

Lu Changan was mentally prepared, so he first made a talisman embryo and drew the treasure talisman.

This kind of base material talisman paper can draw third-level talismans.

Lu Changan is mainly restricted by his cultivation level, so he can only "downgrade" the painting system and try his best to move towards the third level.

In the end, the first talisman painted reached a quasi-third-level level, and its power was comparable to that of an entry-level talisman.

Every time he draws a talisman, Lu Changan lets the soul of his first life descend, once every two months.

"It's a bit wasteful, but it can be continuously cultivated and has great potential to increase its power."

Lu Changan clicked to stop.

He only planned to draw three of these downgraded quasi-third-level treasure talismans.

The remaining "Purple Dazzling Spiritual Wood" is first sealed and nourished with evergreen mana from time to time to maintain vitality and spirituality.

Wait until your cultivation reaches the late stage of foundation building, and then try to draw a real third-level talisman.

…

Three months later.
