Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 448 Settlement
Lu Ye's eyes flashed.

The golden elixir has a lifespan of 500 years, but he was unlucky enough in the secret realm and was hit by the white light of the life-shortening wheel, thus permanently losing 20 years of his lifespan.

However, when he thought of the unlucky Yun Yansou who was killed directly after escaping from his Nascent Soul, he felt much more balanced.

Thinking of the Longevity Wheel, he quickly looked inward with his spiritual sense and found that he had a spiritual pet that was trying to copy and simulate this incredible function.

The surface of the light cocoon woven by Achou in the Yulong River emits a faint light that flickers on and off, in sync with his breathing.

As expected, it is still Ah Chou. I am here because I sleep. As for when I wake up, it all depends on my appearance.

Lu Ye withdrew his spiritual consciousness. He wondered how well he could simulate the coveted life-shortening function when Ah Chou woke up again.
Although my life span is shortened by twenty years, it doesn’t matter.

As long as we can achieve Nascent Soul within ten years, we won't mind losing these twenty years.

Lu Ye looked down again.

There is nothing much to say about these few Taoist methods.

The Six Souls Swallowing Dragon Dao is also a secret method of a major sect. It is good at protecting the law in fighting, but not so good at practicing Taoism and breaking through to a higher realm. It is used as an auxiliary Taoist method to take advantage of its endless magical power. It can still be used even when one reaches the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Nine-Forged Thunder Art is a technique that is aimed at achieving the state of Divine Transformation. It is extremely powerful, astonishingly powerful, and incredibly fast. He is very satisfied with how well he has used it, and it also matches the second mutated Thunder Spirit Root in his body. This is a fundamental technique that cannot be changed.

Although the third volume of the Sutra of the Immovable and Indestructible Spirit is a fragmentary copy, this practice points directly to the great way and is extremely profound, enough for one to comprehend on one's own.

Although it is not directly used in combat, Countercurrent Light and Thousand Fold Armor are both very practical. Although the Anchor of Time and the Boat of Sky have no clear use, they helped me a lot in the space-time channel last time.

Lu Ye always felt that this scripture didn't stop at the stage of transformation of spirit. He guessed that maybe it was enough to cultivate to the stage of refining emptiness? Fusion? Or Mahayana? Or even the stage of transcending tribulation?
However, this world lacks spiritual energy, so he does not consider the future after he becomes a spirit.

The Sutra of the Bodhisattva of Rescue is a top-level martial art, but unfortunately times have changed, and there are not so many demons to kill, and he even has two demon brothers.

Therefore, Lu Ye decided to focus on the Nine-Forging Thunder Art and supplement it with the Six-Soul Swallowing Dragon Art. At the same time, he should not forget to practice the Immovable and Indestructible Sutra. It would be best if he could find a time spiritual root or a space spiritual root seed to replicate the spiritual root, which might help him make faster progress.

The status bar also shows the demon body's value. The demon body's lifespan has been shortened by twenty years, its blood and qi have exceeded 100,000, and it also has two mutated magical powers: Thunder Pupils and Shrinking the Earth.

Lu Ye was looking forward to what the third magical power would be after achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

After practicing till now, many of his previous trump cards are no longer useful, and now this second demon body is his biggest trump card.

Lu Ye looked up and down the status bar again and nodded with satisfaction.

I am definitely a young man with the ambition to live to be a hundred years old!

Other cultivators who are a hundred years old are still groping for the path to the golden elixir.

I have been thinking about the Nascent Soul ten years later.

Tut tut...

Lu Ye praised himself in his heart for a while before he finally managed to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, Pan Furong poked her head out from the side, with suspicion in her eyes.

"how?"

"Can't bear to leave Little Lonely Mountain?"

"Still wondering about the Liao family's twin pearls, the Qing family's seven rainbow girls, and the Mei family's nine feathers?"

"They are all delicate girls from aristocratic families. Not only are they beautiful, but some of them also have Dinglu physiques that can help people practice."

"It's really pitiful and makes me feel itchy!"

Lu Ye was speechless and was about to explain.

Lan Wutong, who was nearby, came over to help out, and the eldest elder of the Lan family looked at Pan Furong with suspicion.

Pan Furong then remembered that her husband was still wearing a blue vest, so she left reluctantly.

"Ancestor!" Lan Wutong bowed respectfully, "According to the plan, there are a total of 127 immortal seedlings of our tribe on Xiaogu Mountain during this migration."

"In addition, there are more than 10,000 clansmen in Huangsha Mountain. They are all the blood of our Lan family. How should we arrange for them? Please give us some advice, ancestor."

"Also," Lan Wutong said hesitantly, "Grandmaster, Pan Furong is a junior after all. Isn't her behavior a little too presumptuous?"

Lu Ye glanced at Lan Wutong and thought, wow, he’s really good at talking.

Are you trying to say that the woman was too intimate in her words and actions towards me?

Lan He has been wearing this vest since he came from Huangsha Mountain, and it has been twenty-five or twenty-six years. Now that he is away from Dazhongzhou, this vest is of no use anymore, right?
Ah Chou was sleeping and he didn't know when he woke up. He was a little tired after moving Lan Laozu and Lu Ye by himself.

It seems that it is time to have a showdown with the Lan family.

He did receive benefits from the Lan family, but he also protected the Lan family.

Otherwise, the Lan family would have been cannon fodder under the Jinsha Sect, and I wonder how many people would be alive now.

In the battle of Huangsha Mountain, although the Jinsha Sect surrendered to Lingyun Sect and won in the end, the families that had established their foundations at that time were almost driven to the point of dying, with only one tenth of their strength remaining.

Not to mention that the real Lanhe was actually a robbery cultivator who had once tried to kill him.

It’s time to have a showdown with the Lan family.

Those who are willing to go to the three thousand islands of Donghaizhou can follow me, and those who are not willing can go as they please.

Lu Ye thought about it and made up his mind.

He looked down at the boat under his feet. It was contributed by Gui Baozhu. It was the spiritual weapon of a Jindan cultivator who had fought with him in the river and sought his own death.

This creature is good at escaping and disguising, but its attack and defense abilities are terrible.

The Jindan monk refined his innate spiritual weapon into a means of transportation.

If you don't make a tank, at least make an armored vehicle, right?

As a result, you have made a bus that can be used for discotheques.

Lu Ye commented that the man's death was not unjust.

At the moment, this building ship can accommodate a lot of people, complete his plan of having three burrows and build a base.

However, he also has to screen them. After all, a forced melon is not sweet.

Lu Ye ordered Lan Wutong to call several elders into the cabin.

There are many separate cabins on this ship, like caves, and the largest and most luxurious one is undoubtedly prepared for Ancestor Lan.

Lan Wutong led a few people in and knelt down to greet Lu Ye.

They were puzzled to find that standing to the side were Gui Baozhu, Pan Furong, as well as Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu and several other outsiders.

"Everyone!" Lu Ye, now wearing Lan He's vest appearance, said with a smile, "Now it's time to tell you something."

He reached out and wiped his face, revealing his true appearance, while the golden elixir aura on his body burst out without any concealment.

"Today I shall return to my original form."

"Everyone, let me introduce myself again. I am Lu Ye, the Golden Elixir Master."

He pointed at Pan Furong and others.

"This is my Taoist partner and a few brothers."

Gui Baozhu was particularly sensible standing nearby. He immediately called him "Big Brother", livening up the atmosphere.

Jin Dan’s supporting role had an immediate effect.

Lan Wu and several other elders were shocked.

They asked almost out of their mouths.

"May I ask Junior Brother Lu... No, Elder Lu."

"What about my Lan family's ancestor?"

Lu Ye blinked.

“Ancestor Lan,” he said calmly, “he had bad luck and died in the Mozhu Secret Realm.”

"Okay, everyone, please come out!"

"Tell this news to everyone in the Lan family."

"Those who are willing to go with me can go to the East China Sea. Those who don't want to go, this ship is heading north, so you can get off at the Old Blue Clan's place on Huangsha Mountain!"

Lan Wu and several other elders were shocked. They were all dumbfounded and could not digest the news. Lu Ye waved his sleeves and a great force attacked.

The cabin door opened.

Several people were pushed out involuntarily.

boom!
The door closed automatically again.

Lan Wu and several other elders looked at each other, with expressions of shock, disbelief, fear, suspicion, and horror appearing alternately on their faces.

Finally, one of the elders couldn't help crying.

"How could this be?"

Inside the cabin.

Zhang Cunyi asked carefully whether his elder brother was being too reckless in revealing his cards like that.

Thinking carefully, there are still many loopholes in what I just said. When my eldest brother and his companions disappeared, they disappeared wearing blue and vests. The image on the photo stone taken by the monk did not capture my eldest brother's real figure.

Almost everyone has seen this video.

How did Big Brother Lu Ye enter the secret realm under this identity?
How can we be sure that Ancestor Lan has fallen without entering the secret realm?

Also, in order to conceal his true identity, Big Brother Lu Ye worshipped Patriarch Lan as his master, but his foundation-building cultivation had not even reached the great perfection, so how could he suddenly become a golden elixir?

You know, Gu Hongyu is also a genius, but he spent fifty years in building his foundation to perfection.

Also, the eldest brother's tone just now did not show any respect for "Master Lan". They did not seem like master and disciple at all. I'm afraid they were even colder than they were to a passerby.

Zhang Cunyi counted on his fingers and finally came to the conclusion.

"Brother, I'm not the third brother who is picking on you."

"But if you think about it carefully, these words really cannot stand up to scrutiny and have many doubts."

Lu Ye waved without caring.

"Only the weak need the truth; the strong only tell the facts."

"Whether they believe it or not, whether they can convince themselves or not, is none of my business."

"Those who wish to leave can go, and those who wish to stay can follow me. Going or staying is up to your heart."

A few people talking.

There was a cry outside the cabin, shaking the sky.

After crying for a few quarters of an hour, the crying gradually stopped.

soon.

Outside, Lan Wutong transmitted his spiritual consciousness and asked to see Patriarch Lu.

The hatch opens.

Lan Wutong and several elders knelt inside and paid homage to Patriarch Lu.

They were quick. They tied white belts around their heads and waists, wrapped their shoes with white cloth, changed into white robes, and put on mourning clothes for Lan He, which was twenty-five or six years late.

Lan Wutong raised his head, his eyes were swollen like peaches, and he kowtowed.

"Ancestor Lu, we didn't recognize your true face before and offended you. We apologize to you on behalf of the Lan family!"

"Now that Patriarch Lan has unfortunately fallen in the Mozhu Secret Realm, my Lan family has lost its pillar, as if the sky has fallen."

"We have discussed it. From now on, the Lan family is willing to follow the old ancestor and cling to him. We will never dare to betray him!"

"I beg you, ancestor, to show mercy and take me in for the sake of our past friendship."

After that, several people kowtowed heavily, and put their heads on the board, not daring to lift them up again. Lu Ye laughed, waved his hand, and helped everyone up.

Upon hearing this, he said to his colleague Lan Wu.

"Wu Tong, I trust you to do the job."

"From now on, you will be in charge of the Lan family's affairs. You will be the new clan leader."

"With me protecting you, it will be just like when Patriarch Lan was here."

"Go back!"

Lan Wutong's body was shocked.

He carefully glanced at Lu Ye. The other party's tone, accent and eyes were different, but the way he addressed him and the words he chose were so affectionate, it was as if the ancestor was teaching him in his ear when he was still alive.

Thinking back to more than 20 years ago, when the ancestor returned from his trip, the former great elder Lan Yi started a rebellion. The ancestor responded decisively and swiftly, and put down the rebellion. It was like he had become a different person...

It was from that time that I was valued by the ancestors, who trained me vigorously and allocated all kinds of resources until I became the second person in the clan to establish my foundation.

Lan Wutong didn't dare to think about it any further, as it would be a heinous crime to think about it any further.

The ancestor is dead. He must have died in the Mozhu Secret Realm after achieving the Golden Elixir.

From now on, the Lan family will be the loyal lackeys under Patriarch Lu!

He led all the elders in kowtow- ing and expressing their loyalty before leaving.

Wait until you get out of the cabin.

The core circle of the Lan family entered another cabin and set up talismans such as the Spirit Sense Talisman to block the detection of spiritual consciousness.

Finally, an elder couldn't help but speak out.

"I still can't accept it. There must be something strange about the ancestor's death. Don't you have any ideas?"

Snapped!
Lan Wutong slapped the elder in the face with his backhand, his eyes fierce and his voice stern.

"Idiot, if you want to die, go die by yourself, don't drag the Lan family with you!"

"If you don't want to go out to sea, then just stay in your tribe and live your life!" He pointed to the sky and said, "No one is stopping you!"

"Don't you understand? The Lan family's world has changed! If you don't change with it, there is only one way to go, and that is death!"

The elder's eyes were filled with fear, as if he couldn't believe that Lan Wutong dared to hit him. His lips moved a few times, but he finally lowered his head.

The cabin headed northward. Apart from the turtle flag turning into a mourning flag and the whole ship being filled with white robes, the Lan family did not cause any trouble.

soon.

The ship arrived at the old Lan clan's territory in Huangsha Mountain.

Several people, under Lan Wutong's arrangement, rushed off the boat and brought two pieces of news to the tribesmen here.

One is the death of Patriarch Lan, and the other is that Patriarch Lu holds up the sky, and then he has to go to the Three Thousand Immortal Islands in the East China Sea to find a way out for everyone.

All the people in the Lan clan, whether immortal or mortal, cried out loudly, their voices reaching the sky.

Amidst the wailing.

Lan Wutong carefully asked Lu Ye for instructions.

It took only half an hour to build a cenotaph, and he led the tribesmen in a hasty worship, then sent Lan and the ancestor away.

The tablets of ancestors in the ancestral hall were wrapped, and a new tablet was added inside. Thousands of clansmen boarded the ship in an orderly manner.

Half of the mortals in the tribe are unwilling to go to Donghaizhou, thinking that the journey is too long. Who knows whether the ancestor of the road can be trusted and will not leave them on a deserted island to starve to death.

However, there is not a single immortal seedling among them, so from now on they can no longer be considered the foundation-building Lan family, but only the mortal Lan family.

The ship slowly rose into the air.

Thousands of mortals stuck their heads out and looked at their hard-to-leave homeland which was getting smaller and smaller until it became a tiny black dot. They wondered if they could come back and take another look at it in their lifetime.

Then there was crying again on the boat.

Lan Wutong leaned on the boat and looked down. He knew very well that the mortals of the Lan family could not defend the territories below. What awaited them would surely be the division of the surrounding foundation-building families, which would inevitably be accompanied by killing and enslavement.

But everyone has their own aspirations. Since it is your own choice, don't regret it.

Just like himself now, leading the Lan family to join Patriarch Lu without hesitation, he has no regrets!

This time the ship turned south.

Passing through the State of Chu, bypassing those sects and mountains, and finally entering the State of Yan, heading straight for Shunhe City.

Gui Baozhu stayed on the boat to guard the house.

Lu Ye led everyone to descend from the air and landed in the City Lord's Mansion without concealing their escape light.

But I saw a brilliant golden light in the air, like a golden wheel falling into the City Lord's Mansion, leaving a long band of light behind it.

Fan Buju, who was already middle-aged, was startled and hurried over surrounded by guards, only to see several people sitting in the hall. Even after decades, their voices, appearances and smiles seemed to have not changed.

His childhood friend Zhang Biao still looks young, but he himself has grown fat and even has a grandson.

He felt ashamed, and stepped forward to greet the host, mistress, and uncles in turn, and then hugged Zhang Biao.

Lu Ye cut the Gordian knot and only said a few things.

First, everyone wants to visit the graves of Mr. Fan Buzhong and Mr. Li Guangshi to pay homage to them.

Second, the women in the female camp who are of the same generation as Sister Hong, who once took care of Pan Furong and are still alive and whose families are willing to go to the East China Sea, can go together.

Every time there is turmoil in the world of immortals in Dazhongzhou, it is reflected in the human world as a major event that is enough to change dynasties.

3. Anyone from the Lu family’s side branches who is willing to go to the East China Sea can also go together.

In addition, the above tasks must be completed within one hour.

Fan Buju asked carefully.

"Master, can my Fan family go with you?"

"I am tired of being the city lord. Although I cannot cultivate immortality, as long as I stay by my master's side, there may be a seed of immortality among my descendants."

Of course Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

Fan Buju kowtowed with great joy, then turned around and went out to arrange various matters.

He was a very competent city lord and acted decisively. Lu Ye's instructions were quickly implemented.

An hour later.

There were several hundred more people on the ship, mainly from the Lu and Fan families and several elderly women from the female camps.

Some members of the Lu branch have not left and remain in the city, hoping to inherit the throne.

Until the ship takes off.

Fan Buju carefully told Lu Ye about his plan to keep those few families from the Lu family.

"Master, we are all gone, so why don't you designate someone as the heir?"

"Do you still want the throne?"

"Also, should we leave a letter for the emperor, just to show some respect?"

Lu Ye shook his head and smiled indifferently.

"What do the wealth and the emperor of the world have to do with me?"

"Whether the Shunhe Chenglu family can hold on depends on their luck."

Because of his care, although the Lu family members did not become princes and superiors in these years, no one dared to bully them because Fan Buju was watching over them.

Each of them can be called a middle-class family.

It is impossible for him to take care of everyone one by one, so the fate of the Lu family depends on their luck.

The ship rose into the air and quickly sailed away.

Shunhe City sent a fast horse to report the news to the imperial capital, which caused ripples in the court and the three families of Xu, Ma and Yao.

Lady Cao, wife of Emperor Yongsheng of Yan, is now also known as Old Lady Cao.

After much deliberation, she finally chose the most rootless branch of the Yilu clan to be appointed as the crown prince, and he inherited the title of King of Zhenxi.

However, the officials and soldiers of Shunhe City were rearranged.

The new prince just took care of the big house and collected taxes in the city, and no longer took care of other affairs.

-

Half a month later.

In the vast ocean, there are thousands of blue waves, like a huge sapphire, with occasional small islands dotted in the middle.

high in the air.

The ship flies across.

On the high platform, Lu Ye sat in the middle, with Pan Furong and his three sworn brothers Wang, Zhang and Shu on his left.

On the right are Lan Wutong and Fan Buju.

Although Fan Buju cannot become an immortal, he has already been designated as an official in charge of all mortal affairs, which is just right for him to do his old job.

It's nothing more than changing from the city lord with real power to the second-in-command island lord.

They travelled for half a month. As there were many mortals in the boat, they had to walk and rest frequently, and had to come down from the boat several times a day to take care of their meals, so they were not traveling very fast.

Finally, a few days ago, we left Dazhongzhou and came to the sea.

Now we have entered the territory of Donghaizhou.

The area of ​​Donghaizhou is smaller than that of Dazhongzhou, but it has a unique feature: its border is close to the sea, and there are 3,000 large islands and countless small islands scattered around, all of which are densely populated.

Some lords of large islands have populations that are as wealthy and powerful as those of kings of small countries.

It is said that this kind of topography is the result of a fight between two powerful men in ancient times, in which one of them smashed the East China Sea Island to pieces.

The purpose of Lu Ye's trip was to select an island based on Madam Jiuchai's memory, which was an unnamed small island in the sea area of ​​​​the 72 Islands of Bilang Cape.

This is an inconspicuous island in the sea near Jiuchai Island, the main island of Lady Jiuchai.

Madam Jiuchai originally arranged the island as one of the three burrows of a cunning rabbit, and used formations to cover it. Although it looked desolate on the surface, it actually contained a third-level spiritual vein, which was not inferior to the general Jindan territory.

The ship is moving.

A beam of light flew up from below, and it turned out to be a flying sword, with Zhang Biao's anxious voice coming from it.

"Uncle!"

"My fifth uncle and I were exploring the way, and we met a Taoist named Miyan. The two of them had a disagreement and had a few words, and now they are fighting in the waves."

"I think Uncle Wu is not in good condition. Why is he getting slower and slower and more stupid as he fights?"

“It’s almost sinking to the bottom of the sea.”

"Could Fifth Uncle be a freshwater turtle?"

Lu Ye frowned when he heard this.

Gui Baozhu is already a Jindan Demon King. Fresh water or salt water has no effect on him at all. Could he be poisoned?

Taoist Miyan, anyone with this Buddhist name is definitely not a good person.

It just so happens that my body has become stiff from staying at home these days and I need to move around.

He flew out of the ship with a whoosh and pounced downwards.
