"...As long as Senior Sister can do whatever she can, I will allow you to do so!"

Lu Changan felt that there seemed to be some hidden hint in his words.

He glanced at True Monarch Zixia, whose demeanor was reserved and dignified. He was still the unattainable and graceful Supreme Elder.

Lu Changan didn't want to think too much and followed his heart:

"Junior brother is not short of money now, nor is he short of means to protect the Tao, but we have not yet gathered the materials for a baby. If the sect has relevant reserves, I hope that Senior Sister Jiang will make it happen."

Hearing this, Zhenjun Zixia looked directly into Lu Changan's eyes and felt his firm Taoist heart.

As she admired it, she sighed secretly in her heart, feeling an indescribable sense of disappointment and frustration.

Just now, careful people should be able to detect her subtle attraction and expression.

If Elder Xiang has any admiration for her or has "unreasonable thoughts", he should at least hesitate.

However, Elder Xiang did not hesitate at all and immediately cashed in the resources for the baby.

"How are Junior Brother Xiang's preparations for having a baby? What supplies are needed now?"

True Monarch Zixia looked calm, but she kept her word.

"The main thing is the lack of advanced items, the main medicine of the Infant Transformation Pill. The Infant Formation Spiritual Item, and the Heart Tribulation Protector Junior Brother have spares, but they are not of the highest quality. They are barely adequate."

Lu Changan's description contained some concealment.

The infant-forming spiritual object [Ziwu Qingfeng] he owns is of the highest quality and was obtained from the ancestor of Tianluo.

The Heart Tribulation Protective Item, the [Shangqing Pill] that was exchanged for the Earth Rock Rat in the name, was saved as a backup.

Over the years, most of the auxiliary medicines for the Huaying Pill have been collected openly or covertly and exchanged by sects.

The three main medicines of the Huaying Pill are monopolized by Yuanying's powerful forces, and Lu Changan does not have them for the time being.

Strictly speaking, Lu Changan had an unfulfilled [Tian Ying Fruit], which was the first of the three main medicines.

When he left Daqing and before the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Lu Changan told Wang Feng, the helmsman of Xinli Fire Palace, about the secret treasure house of Tianluo Sect, including the whereabouts of the [Tianying Fruit].

At that time, Lu Changan was being tracked by "Shenjun Qingmu". The [Sky Infant Fruit] would take at least a hundred years to mature, so there was no time to make a plan.

Therefore, he sold Wang Feng a favor, gave him the object to track the blood beads, and asked him to "keep" the [Sky Infant Fruit] for himself.

After arriving in Dayuan, Lu Changan made a divination. Since the ancestor of Tianluo died, it would be less difficult. There is a high probability that Wang Feng from Lihuo Palace would get the [Sky Infant Fruit].

Zhenjun Zixia muttered: "In the inner treasury of our sect, there is a mature main medicine for childbirth [Yueluohua], and I allow you to exchange it with the sect's contribution."

Lu Changan was overjoyed. This award was sincere and not perfunctory.

The so-called "private inner treasury" is different from the sect's treasure house. It should be the sect's treasure reserve that Fairy Zixia controls privately and is not open to the public.

"I dare to ask Senior Sister, how much contribution is needed to redeem this [Moonfall Flower]."

Lu Changan asked.

"According to the sect's ancestral teachings, only direct descendants of our sect are eligible to redeem the core resources for promotion to Nascent Soul. Therefore, you must pay [Yueluohua]'s 80,000 contribution in full without any discount, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

Fairy Zixia's exception at this moment can be regarded as a decision that goes against the teachings of her ancestors.

If True Lord Yun Lan were here, he would definitely oppose it firmly.

"Contribution of 80,000 yuan? Junior brother will try his best to collect it."

Lu Changan will accept it as soon as he sees fit.

The threshold for a contribution of 80,000 yuan is indeed high, but he is not short of money and it is not difficult to obtain the contribution.

This time, guarding the mine, killing enemies and performing meritorious deeds will all be rewarded for the sect's contribution.

The remaining contribution can be deducted with puppets.

There is no need to use high-quality puppets, eliminated third-level puppets, or use scraps to refine new puppets, it is just a matter of time.

…

True Lord Zixia stayed in the mine for less than half an hour before setting off back to Yunxia Sect.

Lu Changan continues to guard the Tengling Mine and plans to stay here for a few more years.

By guarding the mine, you will be rewarded with annual contributions and ores, and it is easy to obtain puppet materials.

After the puppet army formation is successfully constructed and 80,000 contributions are collected, Lu Changan will return to Yunxia Sect.

More than half a year later, Lu Changan turned 362 years old.

In the past year, his reputation for fighting in the mine has spread throughout the country.

Some monks privately discussed that Elder Xiang may be the number one alchemy monk in Dayu Kingdom.

Dayu has done a lot of great work in forming elixirs. In this era, it is still unclear who is the first person to form elixirs.

The main reason is that there is no unique file.

The last recognized first alchemy monk was the "Tian Yuan Sword Lord" before being promoted to Yuanying, that is, Yu Yuan Jin of the royal family.

Lu Changan was not interested in such false reputations and was vaguely aware that someone was behind such remarks.

Fortunately, no major alchemy cultivator has come to challenge him for such a false reputation.

Those who are undergoing major repairs in the later stages of forming the core must be at least two or three hundred years old. In order to be promoted to Nascent Soul, they compete and plan and work hard, how can they have so much free time?

Unless motivated by profit, high-level monks would not do such superficial and childish things.

When Lu Changan became famous, bad news came from Yunxia Sect.

The Yunxia Sect's old enemy "Big Snake Mountain", however, the whole sect celebrated with great news.

A new Nascent Soul Lord is born in Dashan Mountain!

"Zhenjun Chi Lian is good at refining poisons and has been dealing with poisons all year round. Before he was promoted to Nascent Soul, he was the number one poison master in the Great Snake Mountain."

Lu Changan soon learned the information about the new Nascent Soul in Dashan Mountain.

For hundreds of years, no new Nascent Soul monks have been born in the Great Snake Mountain. Judging from the time span, this is considered a normal succession change.

What is more surprising to the outside world is that the person who will be promoted will be "Zhenjun Chi Lian", who was previously known as Zhenren Chi Lian.

Because this person's qualifications are not the best among several competitors, and he is also older.

The age at which Lord Chi Lian was promoted to Nascent Soul is said to be 377 years old.

The average age of those promoted to the Nascent Soul Sect is around three hundred years old.

With some heavenly spiritual roots and the sect's resources, he was successfully promoted to Nascent Soul even at the age of two hundred or so.

The age of three hundred years is regarded as the heyday of Master Jie Dan, just like the prime of life of mortals.

After all, immortal cultivators are not true immortals who live the same life as heaven and earth, and their mortal bodies cannot completely escape the natural laws of life, old age, illness and death.

After the age of 350, the chance of having a baby drops significantly.

After the age of four hundred, there is little hope.

It is speculated by the outside world that the promotion of Master Chi Lian to Nascent Soul may be related to the chance harvest of Master Red Snake in the Ancient Nether Palace.

The last time the Ancient Nether Palace was opened, it was extraordinary, with more opportunities, and even spiritual treasures appeared.

The Nascent Soul monks who survive in the battle game have more or less opportunities.

There are so many strange things in the world and the spiritual beings. Perhaps the harvest of the Red Snake Lord is more suitable for the poison refining technique, so I chose the then Red Snake Lord.

There is another theory: Lord Chi Lian is talented in refining poisons and has made great achievements in the past. He prepared fourth-level poisons and thus received preferential treatment in resources.

"It's interesting. The age at which Lord Red Snake attacked Nascent Soul is almost close to the age I expected."

Lu Changan was also surprised.

After all, this person is not practicing a health-preserving skill, but a poisonous skill that can easily shorten one's life.

Other than that, Lu Changan had no feelings about the new Nascent Soul in Dashan Mountain.

Zhenjun Zixia will definitely have a headache and feel stressed.

Lord Red Snake of Dashan Mountain, as a veteran Nascent Soul, is stronger than her.

The Red Snake King of this sect has survived longer and is said to be stronger than True Lord Red Snake.

Now there is a new Nascent Soul who is good at refining poison.

From this point on, the strength of the sects in Dashan Mountain has completely caught up with Yunxia Sect.

…

In the blink of an eye, Lu Changan has been guarding the mine for another five years.

Since the Ye family's invaders were defeated, the operation of the Tengling mine no longer requires the personal supervision of Danjie Daxiu.

The sect needs to pay more salary, which is a waste.

But Lu Changan refused to leave, and it was difficult for the Yunxia Sect to mobilize him.

Fortunately, at the age of 368, Lu Changan finally completed the planned puppet army formation.

The puppet army formation consists of four third-order high-grade puppets and twelve third-order middle-grade puppets.
