"Thank you, Master, for your generous gift."

Lu Changan took a few pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones and expressed his thanks respectfully, but felt strange and a bit funny in his heart.

A middle-grade spiritual stone is worth more than hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones.

This random gift is equivalent to hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones. For a foundation-building monk, it is quite a blessing.

"Um."

Xiang Jinglong glanced lightly, maintaining the majesty of the fake Dan Zhenren.

He didn't stop, didn't even ask Lu Changan his name, and flew to a certain direction in the city.

"Didn't recognize me."

Lu Changan probably figured out that Xiang Jinglong was simply happy and excited about being promoted to the False Dan Master, so he casually gave a reward to the first junior to congratulate him.

"The Baihuan Mask has a good effect. When faced with the fake elixir, it doesn't show any flaws."

Watching Xiang Jinglong go away, Lu Changan felt satisfied.

Although Xiang Jinglong's reputation is not good, there is no grudge between Lu Changan and him.

Back then, Xiang Jinglong robbed Master Hua Dan and helped Lu Changan take the blame, thus diverting his attention.

Now, I have received another small favor from hundreds of spiritual stones.

From a certain perspective, Xiang Jinglong can be regarded as half of his allies, or a high-quality anti-push position.

What's more subtle is.

It was learned from the intelligence that Xiang Jinglong had hatred towards Huanglong Mountain for some unknown reason.

Tianzhi Tower is not an ordinary intelligence force. Its background is mysterious and spread all over the surrounding immortal kingdoms.

The background is so big that even Lihuo Palace is a bit afraid of it.

Since Xiang Jinglong is mentioned in the intelligence, it means that this person, at least secretly, has made unfavorable or hostile words and deeds towards Huanglongshan.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lu Changan found a teahouse and sat down.

For the sake of caution, after careful inspection of the spiritual stone given by Xiang Jinglong, he determined that there were no flaws left.

Later, he sorted out the gains from his first visit to the Liaoyuan Fairy City.

"At the auction, we bid for a third-level spiritual bamboo and a pill-forming auxiliary medicine 'Wuqicao'."

"For the purchase in the first three months, I got one second-level longevity pill and two second-level high-quality spiritual trees."

"I purchased a large amount of materials for the second-order high-grade puppets and will attack the second-order high-grade puppet masters after I return."

"In addition, we have gathered 30% of the materials for Zhuyan Dan."

Since Zhu Yan Dan and Lu Changan had the key ingredients, he paid attention to it and purchased the materials.

All in all, this trip was very rewarding.

The expenses are also quite high.

Adding up the bits and pieces, Lu Changan spent a total of nearly 20,000 spirit stones.

Ninety-five percent of the foundation-building monks cannot afford such financial resources.

That is to say, he made a fortune during the beast tide. He once sold foundation-building pills, as well as the rich trophies from killing Master Hua and robbing the cultivator gang.

After this consumption, most of Lu Changan's accumulated spiritual stones were consumed.

However, the prices of the materials and second-level talismans he hoarded and invested during the beast wave have returned to normal, and half of them have not yet been sold.

There is even an extra Foundation Establishment Pill.

With such strategic resources, he is not in a hurry to take action as long as he has no shortage of spiritual stones.

…

More than half a month later.

Lu Changan returned to Wuqi Mountain.

The first thing I did when I came back was to transform the spiritual energy array at Xiaogui Peak.

In principle, each of the three main peaks of Wuqi Mountain only allows one foundation-building monk to practice permanently.

Previously, in addition to Lu Changan, the foundation-building monk, Xiaogui Peak also had the second-level monster, the Rock Rat.

The cultivation of monster beasts requires much less spiritual energy, and with the small number of people in Little Guifeng, the burden on the second-level spiritual veins is not comparable to that of a late-stage foundation builder.

Therefore, the other two peaks have no objection to this.

Now, Xuan Shui Turtle has also been promoted to the second level, and Little Turtle Peak's burden on the second level spiritual veins will increase, which will appear abnormal.

With the assistance of the Earth Rock Rat, Lu Changan transformed a small spiritual energy formation below the cave.

By regularly adding a small amount of spiritual stones into it, Xiao Guifeng's demand for spiritual veins can be maintained at a normal level on the surface.

After completing the formation.

Xuan Shui Turtle usually hides his cultivation and practices silently and gently.

Inside the secret room of the cave.

Lu Changan, who turned 116 years old, took the second-level life-extending pill he purchased this time.

This is the fourth second-level longevity pill he has taken.

"Extend your life by eleven years."

Lu Changan slowly opened his eyes.

In this way, his upper limit of lifespan during the foundation building period reaches 461 years.

Perhaps the second-order life-extending pill is of a higher grade, and the effect of repeated use is attenuated, slightly less than that of the first-order pill.

So far, Lu Changan has never taken high-quality longevity pills.

Because the effects of life-extending pills of the same grade cannot be superimposed, high-quality pills are increasingly rare and rarely circulated in the market.

…

A period of time followed.

Lu Changan painted the third-order spiritual bamboo "Kuching Bamboo" and two second-order second-grade high-grade spiritual bamboos into treasure talismans.

After the middle stage of foundation building, Lu Changan lit up the first life of Jiuyin Monument faster.

Since the spiritual consciousness has exceeded the ordinary foundation building stage, it is no longer necessary to draw the second-level high-grade treasure talisman with the shadow of the first life soul.

When the first life comes, the blessing effect on him becomes smaller and smaller.

The second life has a long lighting time and powerful and unpredictable power, so it should not be used easily.

half year later.

Lu Changan drew four quasi-third-level treasure talismans and ten second-level high-grade treasure talismans.

Plus the reserves previously accumulated.

He now has a total of thirty-eight treasure talismans.

Seven of them are painted with third-level spiritual wood bark as the base material, which has greater power and potential for cultivation.

The three previous quasi-third-level talismans have been cultivated for more than ten years. Their power exceeds that of ordinary talismans and poses a greater threat to fake elixirs.

Because the material is good, there is still considerable room for improvement after decades of storage.

In the secret room.

Lu Changan had accumulated thirty-eight treasure talismans at the same time, and he still had enough energy left.

In the early stages of foundation building, Lu Changan could cultivate thirty treasure talismans at the same time.

After the middle stage of foundation building, at least fifty pieces can be stored at the same time.

This is the advantage of mana growth.

…

After the talisman is formed.

Lu Changan will next focus on attacking the second-level high-grade puppet master.

In the past few years, he was not promoted to the second-level high-grade puppet master, mainly because he did not have enough materials to practice his skills.

In terms of talent and spiritual consciousness, there are no shackles.

After returning from the Liaoyuan Fairy City, he purchased a large number of second-level high-grade puppet materials so that he could study them with peace of mind.

Three months later.

Lu Changan spent a portion of materials to refine a second-level high-grade puppet, but failed.

After the refined puppet is activated, its power becomes violent and uncontrollable, and its limbs explode.
