Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 167: Cruel (first update, please subscribe!)

In order to make this 'investment' more convincing, Lu Changsheng did nothing.

He divided 'investment' into three stages.

In the first phase, the time limit is two years.

In the second phase, the time limit is 20 years.

In the third stage, the time limit is 25 years.

He needs to be able to make the opponent see some results in these three stages.

And made a vow.

In this way, the remaining four companies are willing to spend resources with confidence.

Of course, there are also some more detailed restraint methods. For example, if Lu Changsheng wants to leave Baijing Fairy City, he must greet people from the Five Families. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a breach of contract. At that time, the Five Families can take corresponding measures to deal with it. .

This agreement is recorded with a shadow stone. If Lu Changsheng violates it, there is no guarantee that he will be labeled as an evil cultivator.

“What you want to get, you have to pay accordingly.”

Lu Changsheng had no intention of leaving Baijing Immortal City easily, so he agreed to these conditions.

Although Pumpkin is in trouble, there is no fear for their lives. As long as they can support some spiritual stones so that they will not have no money to spend, there is no need to worry too much about the rest for the time being.

"The most urgent task is to improve the alchemy level to meet unexpected needs."

······
composer.

A house covering an area of ​​dozens of acres is located here.

Wan Yu came back from Qingfeng Tower and entered his residence. He saw several family members standing in front with solemn expressions on their faces.

"Do you really want to do this?"

A family member couldn't help but said.

The Wan family is just a small family with only a dozen members. In addition, Wan Yu was quite popular with the ancestors of the Wan family, so they were able to place the whole family in the Qu Garden.

As Lu Changsheng expected, the person who invested this time was not so much the ancestor of the Qu family, but rather the Wan family represented by Wan Yu.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, it's not easy for us to earn these spiritual stones. Now it's really a bit difficult to use them all to support outsiders -"

a woman whispered.

In the Wan family, Wan Yu is the strongest, not only because her spiritual talent is more outstanding, but also because she is the concubine of the ancestor, and everyone else has to look at Wan Yu's eyes.

"Actually, we can reduce it a little. In this way, even if something happens to Master Lu, it doesn't matter."

In the words of several people, both inside and outside the words, they all said that they did not want to cooperate with Lu Changsheng, or in other words, they wanted to reduce the intensity of cooperation.

"While you were away just now, the people at Qingyiyuan got the news from nowhere, and they were quite sarcastic when they saw us."

The woman who said this stared at Wan Yu from time to time.

Qingyi Garden and Wanfeng Garden were the worst to deal with, and the concubine in charge of Qingyi Garden had always disliked Wan Yu.

Therefore, Wan Yu is very concerned about what the other party thinks.

The woman also knew about this, so she wanted to use Qingyi Garden to dispel Wan Yu's thoughts. However, Wan Yu's face turned cold and he stared at her.

"I doubt you sent the news to that bitch on purpose, right?"

The woman quickly bowed her head and said, "How could it be possible? I dare to swear to God that this will never happen."

Wan Yu's expression calmed down and he said calmly: "That's the best! You also know that those bitches have been very active recently, and everyone wants to show their face when the ancestor comes out of seclusion. Although the Qu family has some background, But for those alchemists, the attraction is very ordinary, so don’t hold me back.”

As soon as the people left, Wan Yu's face turned gloomy.

What she didn't tell these family members was that another member of the Qu family who was in the late stage of Qi training was about to reach his end, and although the ancestor was younger than the other person, he was not that many years behind.

As far as she knew, both ancestors had taken a lot of life-extending pills. If they wanted to continue to extend their lifespan, they had to refine new types of life-extending pills.

"With Lu Changsheng's relationship, when the time comes, he will definitely be able to invite the alchemists behind him. By then, he will also show his face in front of the ancestors."

Like the Zhu family, Wan Yu didn't value Lu Changsheng himself, but the connections behind him.

But she is smarter and has more advantages than the Zhu family.

······
Lu Changsheng naturally knew this, but he didn't say it openly.

The next day, resources from various families were delivered one after another. Basically, they were spiritual stones and some materials for alchemy.

"With so many spiritual stones, even a B-level alchemist can only do this."

The spiritual stones were piled up into a small mountain, estimated to number tens of thousands.

Lu Changsheng can freely control these spiritual stones.

He kept some spiritual stones as backup and planned to spend the rest.

After a while, Lu Changsheng asked Guanshi Mo to come over.

"What magical tools are there in the drug store's warehouse to assist in alchemy?"

As the steward of the Bing and Ding Houses, Manager Mo stood out from the many servants and had his own unique characteristics.

He immediately took out a jade book.

"There are three kinds of magic weapons that assist in alchemy. One is to restore mana, one is to restore energy and spirit, and the other is to enhance fire control."

"These two types are divided into 28 types of magic weapons."

When Manager Mo said this, he paused slightly and said: "Judging from the usage of each type, the fragrant sandalwood Buddha beads and the fire-subduing magic weapon are the most popular among them."

At this time, Lu Changsheng also saw these two magical weapons from the jade book.

The fragrant sandalwood Buddha beads are a magic weapon for calming the spirit, and the magic weapon for subduing fire is a magic weapon for controlling fire.

As for magic weapons that restore mana, there are relatively few.

After asking carefully, I found out that alchemists usually use elixirs to restore mana, which is more cost-effective.

"Although I have no shortage of spiritual stones at present, no matter how much money I have, I still have to spend it on the blade."

Thinking about it, I directly skipped the magic weapon that restored mana, chose the other two magic weapons, and purchased them.

Tens of thousands of spiritual stones were lost immediately.

Magical instruments are a kind of luxury, especially those related to the four arts of cultivating immortals.

Lu Changsheng returned to Yun'an Courtyard and started refining alchemy directly in the alchemy room next door.

"Now I know that the variables that can shorten the alchemy time can be roughly classified into two types. One is the number of alchemy times."

"Whether it is using sandalwood beads or fire weapons, they all serve the duration of elixir refining, which is somewhat different from martial arts practice."

"And the other is the exchange of alchemy experiences, which is very similar to martial arts practice."

Martial arts exchanges can also improve the variables of martial arts practice and shorten the practice time.

"Similarly, the same should be true for cultivating immortals."

Lu Changsheng thought.

"However, the most urgent task is to obtain some results on the alchemy path first."

Hanging the sandalwood beads around his neck, a coolness surged into his brow, making him more energetic and seemingly never tired.

The fire-subduing weapon improves his fire control ability.

This happens to be Lu Changsheng's shortcoming.

Because the root bone talent is too low, it is also very difficult to practice immortality.Spells and cultivation are the root of improving fire control ability. Therefore, he has great difficulty in controlling fire. But with this magic weapon, he can control fire much easier than before.

Correspondingly, the mana and energy consumed are also much smaller.

The number of times you can make alchemy every day has also been greatly increased.

Every month, Manager Mo will send some corresponding alchemy tasks.

Most of them are for refining Qi Accumulating Pills. After all, Lu Changsheng specializes in Qi Accumulating Pills. Occasionally, there are other types of elixirs, but they are relatively few.

At first, Manager Mo was also worried that Lu Changsheng would not be able to complete the task on time.

Many of Baiyun Pharmacy's alchemy tasks are to be supplied to some large forces that cooperate, or to be used by disciples of the inner sect.

If it cannot be completed, it will easily lead to inventory reduction. Although it can be adjusted through coordination, it is always troublesome, right?
"The tasks assigned to me recently have been a bit tricky."

Manager Mo took the task list sent from above.

When alchemists refine elixirs, most of them are refining some very common and marketable elixirs, such as Qi Yun Dan, Qi Blood Dan, Hui Ling Dan, etc. Some tranquilizing pills, Geng Jin Dan, etc. are relatively rare, with only a few. Monks only use it when they practice gold spells.

Refining this kind of elixir is naturally thankless. Even though Baiyun Pharmacy will provide additional compensation, no alchemist is willing to try it.

It is better to learn broadly than to learn precisely.

One or two elixir recipes are enough. Learning other elixir recipes is just a waste of time.

Manager Mo knew that this was probably some people in the sect trying to suppress Lu Changsheng. However, this method was within the rules and no one dared to say anything.

However, the area he is responsible for is a bit difficult. As a manager, he will inevitably be scolded. Some related households have been staring at his position. If he fails to complete it many times, I am afraid that the people behind them will use a little more force. All of a sudden, he was about to step down from his position as manager. .

Naturally, there was some resentment towards Lu Changsheng in his heart.

No, apart from the fact that the first month was not completed, the remaining months were getting earlier and earlier every day.

This surprised Manager Mo. Once, he paid special attention to the situation in Yun'an Courtyard where Lu Changsheng lived.

But as several days passed, Lu Changsheng spent the rest of his time in the house refining elixirs, except for going to his teacher Lin Yan's class every morning.

"If someone didn't help him refine it, then he should have refined it himself."

In the past few days, Manager Mo had seen Lin Yan and several disciples. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for them to stay in Lu Changsheng's room to help refine alchemy.

"Although it is said that one method can make all methods easy, isn't this a bit too fast?"

He thought about the time when Lu Changsheng entered Baiyun Medicine Shop. It was only more than a year ago.

After some time passed, the tasks on the list finally eased down. Obviously, the people above also knew that problems could easily arise if things were arranged in this way.

Therefore, he began to refine those relatively unsophisticated elixirs and transfer them to other alchemists.

Manager Mo suddenly felt comfortable.

During this period, many people who knew about it looked at me and were gloating about my misfortune. I don’t know what their expressions will be like next time I see you again.

"I would rather thank Alchemist Lu."

Of course, Mo Guanshi didn't dare to make an appointment with Lu Changsheng in private, but brought some spiritual tea to send over.

He has worked here for many years and still has some savings.

"Mo Guanshi, this is -" A few days later, Lu Changsheng used up all the medicinal materials he purchased, so he went out and asked Mo Guanshi to help buy another batch. Unexpectedly, after Mo Guanshi agreed, he directly delivered the spiritual tea.

"I don't mean anything else. I just respect Alchemist Lu as a person, and I hope that Master Lu will accept it without hesitation."

Then, he mentioned the difficulties he encountered before.

Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "I'm afraid this happened because of me. It should be me and Guanshi Mo making amends."

Mo Guanshi waved his hand quickly.

Lu Changsheng said: "I happen to be short of spiritual tea here, so I took the stuff. However, I see that Mo Guanshi has swollen eye bags and is dissatisfied with energy and energy. It must be because he hasn't had a good rest recently. I happen to have some energy-replenishing tea here. I’ll give the pills to Guanshi Mo.”

With that said, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Manager Mo.

The value of the pills is far from comparable to that of the elixirs, but it is just a good gift in return.

Manager Mo suddenly smiled and his affection for Lu Changsheng increased greatly.

Even though he can arrange many things, his actual status is far from comparable to that of any alchemist above level D.

Many D-level alchemists and above would always act superior to him when facing him.

But Lu Changsheng didn't give him a similar feeling.

"If anything happens to Alchemist Lu in the future, you can have someone summon me at any time."

Manager Mo withdrew and prepared to help Lu Changsheng purchase medicinal materials.

Lu Changsheng left Baiyun Pharmacy and sent news to several other families.

Not long after, the heads of several families rushed over, like guards, to escort Lu Changsheng out of Baijing Immortal City.

Not long ago, he just received news from the Qu family that the monks who went to the Great Yuan Realm returned to the spiritual world today.

"After all, the Great Yuan Realm is the territory of the Zhu family. Our Qu family is at odds with the Zhu family, so we will not go there with our Taoist friends this time."

Wan Yu smiled.

"The Qu family can achieve this level, which is completely sufficient. There is no need to trouble fellow Taoists next."

Saying goodbye to Wan Yu, Lu Changsheng left Baijing Immortal City under the protection of monks from four other families.

A few days later, a group of people entered the Zhu family's sphere of influence.

However, before they flew very far, they saw several streams of light coming from a distance, landing a hundred feet away, revealing the figures of the Zhu family monks.

"Why did you come to my Zhu family's territory?"

His luck was so bad that he met a Zhu family monk.

Lu Changsheng and others were a little puzzled, but fortunately, everyone was already prepared.

"I have come from Baijing Immortal City, and I have sent greeting cards to you Zhu family in Baijing Immortal City before." The head of the Fang family was experienced in handling this matter and stood up and said.

And, using his magic power, he slowly delivered the greeting card to the monks headed by the Zhu family.

After the other party took a look, a gloomy look appeared on his face, "I wonder who is Alchemist Lu?"

"I am!"

Lu Changsheng walked out.

The Zhu family monk took a look, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Our clan leader asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Master Zhu is interested. When he is free in the future, he will definitely go and visit."

Lu Changsheng also smiled.

After delaying for some time, the group set off again.

The place of return this time is in the hinterland of the Zhu Family Realm. It is said that some changes have occurred due to the integration of the two realms. Therefore, only the power in the late stage of Qi training is needed to bring people over from the Great Yuan Realm.

As the Zhu family monk watched the group of people go away, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"This guy, by attracting some ordinary people, actually mobilized troops and mobilized people like this."

He took out a small sound-conveying conch and sent a message to the clan.

"Things are a bit tricky. That guy is too timid. In addition to a late-stage Qi-training monk, there are as many as six middle-stage Qi-training monks around him."

"Moreover, no one from the Qu family has come. I suspect they are hiding in secret."

After hearing this, the Zhu family actually wanted to take action against Lu Changsheng!
