After the test, Lu Changan put away the quasi-fourth-level supernatural peacock puppet.

This puppet consumes far more resources than the same level, almost exhausting the best puppet refining materials in recent years. As a result, the third level top assassin puppet that was crippled in the Ancient Nether Palace has not yet been repaired.

This investment is worth it. In addition to the fourth-level blue-armored puppet, Lu Changan has another powerful helper.

As for the other third-level and upper-level puppets, Lu Changan plans to incorporate them into the puppet military formation system.

The puppet army formation theoretically has the ability to cross levels, but it has considerable limitations and has almost no mobility.

The advantage is that he is good at positional warfare, and the effect is better when combined with formations.

If you want to deal with Nascent Soul, the cornerstone of the puppet army must be at least four late-stage third-order puppets.

Lu Changan is still two short of that. Even at his current level, he still needs to accumulate some years.

Of course, the supernatural peacock or the blue-armored puppet can fight alone, or they can be used as the core and integrated into the puppet army to enhance the latter's power.

"The strength of the Peacock Puppet is only slightly inferior to that of me, and it can basically replace my duty to protect fellow Taoist Lu."

An afterimage appeared in front of him, ghost fire danced in the eyes of the blue-armored puppet, and Master Wei's tone revealed relief.

"In the next ten years, I kindly ask you to travel abroad, which may help the puppet spirit to sublimate and transform."

Lu Changan pondered for a moment: "Lu will not stop Wei Puppet Master's wish. However, when going out to practice, it is best to stay close to the Yunxia Sect's influence and not go too far away."

In the past few decades, the puppet spirit of the Blue Armor Puppet has been nurtured by the second life possession and has grown faster than expected.

Now it is estimated that there will be no progress in another ten years.

Master Wei went out to practice in order to prepare the ground in advance, increase his understanding, and promote the sublimation of the puppet spirit.

The puppet spirit transforms into the fourth level. This step is very critical.

With good luck, success may come naturally.

If it doesn't go well, it may stagnate for a hundred years, or even fail to succeed for life.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, the Yunxia Sect's influence is tens of thousands of miles away, which is enough for me to gain experience and understanding. Besides, every one or two years, I need Fellow Daoist Lu to re-inject my spirit."

Master Wei said happily.

Afterwards, many details were discussed one by one.

During the trip, Puppet Master Wei collected useful information for fellow Taoist Lu and left his contact information.

In the evening of that day, Puppet Master Wei quietly left Yunxia Sect and went out to practice.

Lu Changan is not worried about losing this puppet.

As a fourth-level puppet, the second life possessed by Lu Changan has a far sensing distance.

However, the entire Dayu Kingdom has a vast territory, accounting for 60% of the size of the Wei Dao Alliance.

Therefore, Lu Changan only limited the area around the Yunxia Sect's influence.

The Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence, including affiliated forces, covers more than half of the Liang Kingdom.

…

Two years later.

The outside world has finally concluded about the life and death of True Lord Yun Lan.

Those major forces and intelligence organizations confirmed the death of True Lord Yun Lan.

True Lord Zixia did not deny this matter, and the soul lamp in the ancestral hall was also extinguished at the right time during this period.

Now that the situation in Yunxia Sect is stable, she doesn't have to hide it deliberately.

Even though Lu Changan didn't know the inside story, he still guessed some of the truth.

Fairy Zixia had probably already confirmed the Taoist monk's death, but she just kept it a secret and had arranged for the soul lantern in the ancestral hall to be used.

"If the controller of an ordinary cultivating force has only one widow left, it will inevitably attract the greedy covetousness of jackals and tigers."

"However, this is a Nascent Soul Nvzhenjun, and there is a fourth-level holy beast guarding the sect."

Lu Changan understands that as long as he and Lord Diyan support True Lord Zixia and are not deceived by external things, Yunxia Sect will be very stable.

Not long after, Zixia Zhenjun arranged a low-key funeral for the deceased Taoist companion.

Within the sect, only some direct monks were involved in this matter.

The purpose of Zixia Zhenjun's low-key handling was to minimize the negative impact of the Taoist companion's death on the sect.

Lu Changan is a special case. As a guest elder, he came to the scene in person to witness the funeral of the true king.

In front of the magnificent mausoleum.

"The tomb of the fifteenth generation Supreme Elder of the Yunxia Sect, 'Zhenjun Yunlan'."

A handsome and handsome man in white clothes, with a hint of weirdness in the complex emotions in his eyes.

This person is none other than Hu Ang, the named disciple whom Zhenjun Zixia accepted two years ago.

Perhaps due to the guidance of True Monarch Nascent Soul, Hu Ang's cultivation speed is very fast, surpassing most high-grade spiritual roots, and has reached the peak of the foundation building stage.

…

Two months later.

In the sky above a third-level spiritual cave in Yunxia Sect, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth roared, gathering like a tide.

Seven days later, a cloud of spiritual energy with a radius of several miles took shape stably, and under the pressure of heaven and earth, it faintly surrounded the rhythm of the avenue.

"What is the formation of the Half-step Golden Pill?"

This scene made many Jiedan masters in the door look at him with surprise.

"It's rare for the above-mentioned spiritual roots to achieve half-step golden elixir."

"Hu Ang is indeed a leader of the new generation in the lineage of the former Sect Master Hu.

"No wonder the Supreme Elder made an exception and accepted him as his disciple."

Thinking of Hu Ang's background and footwork, the monks in the sect accepted it naturally.

At the main peak of Qingluan Peak, Lu Changan also paid attention to the alchemy weather above the mountain gate.

He was just a little surprised.

The top-grade spiritual roots come from the lineage of Sect Leader Hu, and he is also a disciple of True Lord Yuanying. It is not surprising that he has achieved this level of achievement.

What's more, Yunxia Sect's luck has been steadily increasing for many years now.

"This son may have gained the benefit of the sect's luck."

Lu Changan nodded secretly.

As the lucky star of the sect, it has been rooted for decades, and it really brings good luck.

A few years before Hu Ang, Yunxia Sect gave birth to "Huadu Zhenren" who practiced alchemy major.

Fairy Yunxia's adopted son and direct disciple Jiang Haoran also successfully formed the Immortal Golden Pill.

Half a day later.

The cloudy atmosphere in the sky dispersed smoothly.

On that day, the news that Hu Ang had formed a half-step golden elixir spread throughout the sect.

Zhenjun Zixia was pleasantly surprised and left the customs in advance.

Outsiders didn't know that she gave Hu Ang very little guidance on his practice, mainly due to the son's personal good fortune.

…

Half a month later, the Yunxia Sect sent out invitations and held a high-profile elixir knotting ceremony for Hu Ang.

The Hu family actually didn't want to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.

This matter was done deliberately by Fairy Zixia.

Hu Ang's elixir formation celebration was held in the same year as Zhenjun Yunlan's funeral, which can be regarded as a different kind of "congratulations".

Lu Changan was invited to attend Hu Ang's elixir knotting ceremony and sent a congratulatory gift.

In the Yunxia Sect, Lu Changan and the Hu family are considered to have a "kinship" relationship.

A year ago, Xiao Qingshan, the steward of the main peak, married the Hu family's foundation-building female cultivator and became an equal wife, enjoying the blessings of everyone.

Xiao Qingshan and his wife Si Lu were very loving and harmonious. They originally did not want to take any more concubines, but they did not dare to disobey Elder Xiang's wishes.

Fortunately, Taoist companion Sulu was more considerate and finally cooperated with him in marrying Hu's daughter, Hu Lirong.

"When Elder Xiang comes to visit, the humble house becomes full of glory."

Hu Ang greeted Lu Changan with a smile and personally welcomed him into the newly relocated third-level Lingfeng Cave.

Lu Changan exchanged greetings with Hu Ang and was assigned to the chief position in the inner hall.

During the elixir-forming celebration, visitors from various forces did not attend the Nascent Soul True Monarch. They usually sent true elixir-forming monks or fake elixir masters.

Among them, the representative of the Daewoo royal family, "Princess Zhiwei", is considered a half-acquaintance of Lu Changan.
