Lu Changan had just left Zhang Tieshan's mountain dojo, when a flash of fake Alchemy Master's light flew from a distance, with a terrifying force.

"Uncle Tan..."

Yu Qinghai greeted him with a smile, but without informing him, he acquiesced to the fake elixir master and flew directly into the mansion on the mountain.

…

The inner gate of Jinyun Valley, inside the waterscape cave with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Three foundation-building monks, one male and two female, sat opposite each other.

"I guess Uncle Lu definitely didn't see Master Zhang just now."

Zhao Tan'er covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyebrows were like green feathers, and her smart eyes were bent into a crescent shape.

"Tan'er!"

Zhao Siyao scolded the female disciple and asked her to calm down.

"What Tan'er said is the truth. Zhang Daoyou has become a fake Dan real person, and the social circle is different from the past. It is naturally not something you can see by casual visits."

Lu Changan said calmly.

"Tan'er, Uncle Lu's mentality is worth learning from."

Zhao Siyao has practiced in the sect for hundreds of years and has seen many examples. Many monks cannot adapt to this gap in status circles in a short period of time.

"Yeah! Uncle Lu's character is like that thousand-year-old tortoise. He is neither impatient nor impetuous. He has accumulated a lot of experience. Tan'er has admired him for a long time."

Zhao Tan'er has teeth like shells, a rosy face, and a well-behaved and respectful look.

Lu Changan smiled, realizing that the woman's words were not sincere.

The thousand-year-old tortoise is a metaphor for Lu Changan's slow temper and slow cultivation.

Zhao Tan'er is also in the middle stage of foundation building and is about to reach the sixth level of foundation building. He is about to catch up with Lu Changan and come from behind.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Siyao talked about Zhang Tieshan's elixir formation.

"Originally, Fellow Daoist Zhang was scheduled to exchange it for a genuine crystal-condensing elixir and wait for the new round of elixir refining in Jinyun Valley."

"However, the alchemy this time was mediocre. I only got one genuine and inferior crystal condensation elixir."

"At that time, Fellow Daoist Zhang had two choices. One was to compete for the genuine Crystal Condensation Pill; the other was to wait for the next round of elixir refining, which would take at least several years."

Hearing this, Lu Changan already understood.

Zhang Tieshan is only three years younger than Lu Changan, so he should not be further delayed in terms of age.

Perhaps due to some kind of pressure, I settled for the next best thing and chose the inferior Crystal Condensation Pill.

"There is a saying in the sect that one of the strong contenders for the Crystal Condensation Pill is the direct disciple of the elder Zhendan. Zhang Tieshan made concessions in order to repay his kindness and the beauty of adulthood."

"The beauty of adulthood? Regarding this matter, has Zhao Daoyou ever personally asked Zhang Daoyou?"

Lu Changan was noncommittal.

Zhao Siyao was slightly silent and said, "How dare Siyao ask Mr. Zhang face to face about such a private matter?"

"That's right, Lu made a mistake."

Lu Changan realized that he lacked respect for the real person False Dan and relaxed in front of Zhao Siyao.

Zhao Siyao's psychology is considered normal.

Even though she and Zhang Tieshan are from the same sect, they are more familiar with each other and communicate more.

at dusk.

Lu Changan spent the night in the guest room on the mountain.

"There is a saying about turning elixirs into liquids: the higher the quality of the elixir, the higher the difficulty and risk."

"By doing this, Zhang Tieshan may not only be beautiful as an adult, but also kill two birds with one stone!"

Thinking of this, Lu Changan became more confident about his previous speculation.

…

The next day, Zhang Tieshan's small celebration of pill formation was held as scheduled.

There were not many monks who came to congratulate them, but they were relatively high-level, and there were quite a few in the late stages of foundation building and fake elixir masters.

Lu Changan and his apprentice Zhao Siyao walked together and arrived at the mountain peak mansion that was on the third level spiritual vein yesterday.

This time, I did see Zhang Tieshan.

The newly promoted "Tian Feng Zhenren" personally welcomed him out of the mansion.

As a fake elixir master, it is a great honor to personally welcome the foundation-building monks.

"Zhenren Zhang."

Lu Changan and the three of them handed over their hands and sent gifts and congratulations.

Zhang Tieshan's eyes stayed more on Lu Changan, and he apologized:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I mentioned that you were here in Qinghai last night. I apologize for the poor reception given by Mr. Zhang."

"That's serious! It's not long since Master Zhang formed the elixir, so it's inevitable that he will have a lot of entertainment."

Lu Changan was flattered and said.

"Haha, the title of Fellow Daoist Lu is a bit unfamiliar. After Xiaoqing is over, you and I will talk about it in private."

Zhang Tieshan smiled brightly, his slightly dark face was no different from the past, but in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed to contain invisible majesty.

Seeing the exchange between the two, Zhao Tan'er couldn't help but feel surprised.

She vaguely noticed that Zhang Zhenren's enthusiasm for Lu Changan was not just a courtesy. In terms of importance, it even exceeded her mentor.

After welcoming Lu Changan and the others into the mansion, Zhang Tieshan went to entertain the real guests.

Lu Changan drank the spiritual tea and observed secretly, and found that Zhang Tieshan after forming the pill was calm and neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Lu Changan felt the same way about that kind of "stable" mentality.

Having known each other for more than a hundred years, Lu Changan had long recognized that Zhang Tieshan was determined and ambitious.

Achievements in false elixirs will lead to stagnant cultivation and a hopeless path.

Normally, you might feel happy, but deep down you feel a little bit lost and hesitant.

The specifications of Jiedan Xiaoqing this time are generally relatively low-key.

In addition to celebrating, it’s about communicating privately and making connections.

During this period, Zhang Tieshan shared his experience in the elixir condensation process and explained some of his shortcomings.

This behavior won praise from the foundation-building monks present.

Master and apprentice Zhao Siyao listened very carefully.

Lu Changan seemed to be immersed in it and yearned for it.

…

Jie Dan Xiaoqinghou.

Lu Changan said goodbye directly and left.

He did not stay to respond to Zhang Tieshan's words - talk about it in private after Xiaoqing.

Lu Changan is so decisive because of two points:

First, he was sure of his guess and no longer needed to test it.

Zhang Tieshan's behavior and mentality are on the one hand.

From the analysis of the Taoist name "Tianfeng", it can be seen that his ambition is still lofty.

Generally speaking, if you form a false elixir by building a foundation, the path number will be relatively low-key, otherwise the virtue will not match.

Zhang Tieshan's Taoist name is not actually arrogant.

That is to say, Lu Changan, as a conscientious person, only pays attention to such details by working backward from the conclusion.

Second, Lu Changan's cultivation and status are far different from Zhang Tieshan.

I can't be sure whether the other party's "we'll discuss it in private" was a polite comment.

Otherwise, if he stays on the mountain and waits for the other party to "summon" him, he might become a joke.

Lu Changan is keen on Zhang Tieshan's secret method of converting elixirs, but he is not in a hurry.

It is not too late to negotiate with the other party when you have reached the later stage of foundation building and have shown some skills and interests.

…

A few months later.

The three major peak masters of Wuqi Mountain gathered at Xiaogui Peak, and the atmosphere seemed solemn.

"The border of Liang Kingdom is blocked by the sect?"
