Fortunately, the Earth Rock Rat is proficient in escaping from the ground and can absorb the spiritual energy from the mineral veins everywhere underground. It can even go to the hinterland of Qingshawan to absorb the richer quasi-third-level spiritual energy.

Anyway, the Earth Rock Rat has a lifespan of five to six hundred years, and it has just become a third-level demon. Lu Changan does not expect it to improve quickly.

It is not unusual for a true elixir cultivator or a third-level demon of this level to have a small realm stuck for hundreds of years.

…

Xia Hongyu personally sent Lu Changan out of the Water Curtain Cave.

Xia Mingqu, who was standing outside, had a strange look in his eyes.

The patriarch's importance to Lu Changan exceeded his expectations.

"Lu Changan's disguise and his secret technique of 'Dongxu True Eye' were able to deceive me back then. His person is even more extraordinary than the information collected from Liang Guo..."

Returning to Water Curtain Cave, Xia Hongyu answered Xia Mingqu's doubts in a calm tone.

Lu Changan stepped on the big tortoise and returned to the Qiufeng Island mansion with his original identity.

Not having to live with a mask all year round, Lu Changan felt relaxed and suddenly enlightened.

"I've met Senior Lu."

Medicine boys Xia Mingcheng and Xia Wenyue changed their names and were more respectful than before.

Obviously, they learned about Lu Changan's true identity from other channels.

"No gift."

Lu Changan glanced at the thin girl with her head lowered and eyebrows furrowed in smoke. Her face was as pale as ever and she looked frail.

Lu Changan recalled his previous conversation with Xia Hongyu, who mentioned Xia Wenyue.

Xia Hongyu learned from the intelligence that Lu Changan was not only good at maintaining health, but also dabbled in medical skills, and was good at warming and treating underlying diseases.

"If Fellow Daoist Lu has some free time, I hope he can check on Wen Yue's condition."

At that time, Xia Hongyu just mentioned it casually and didn't seem to have much hope.

Seeing Xia Wenyue again at this moment, Lu Changan felt moved.

However, he thought that Xia Wenyue had rejected his kindness once, and his interest in it was greatly reduced.

…

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years passed.

Unknowingly, Lu Changan had been coming to Jingguo to cultivate the world of immortality for seven or eight years.

His age has also crossed the important threshold of one hundred and fifty years old.

At one hundred and fifty years old, for other foundation-building monks, there is little hope of forming a pill in this life.

In the future, body functions will begin to decline, and the success rate of pill formation will drop significantly.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world of immortality, and nothing is impossible.

Those monks who cultivate their health skills, prolong their lifespan and maintain good physical condition, and then take high-quality life-extending pills, and even form pills in later years, have appeared in every era.

If the opportunity is unfavorable, taking the legendary spiritual objects of heaven and earth can directly extend your life by a decade, or even rejuvenate your youth. There are many records in ancient books.

"Master Lu Fu, Xia Wenyue passed out."

On this day, Lu Changan was checking the growth of medicinal materials in the medicine garden, and the medicine boy Xia Mingcheng hurriedly came to report.

"Collapsed again? Did you give her any pills?"

Lu Changan was not surprised by Xia Wenyue's fainting, it had happened almost once or twice every year during the years he had been stationed on Qiufeng Island.

This woman's body is yin and cold. She has been sick since she was a child and can only barely maintain her cultivation.

Lu Changan originally thought that this situation would be improved after her cultivation level improved.

As a result, after Xia Wenyue reached the late stage of Qi refining, her condition did not reverse, but the coldness in her body became even worse.

"After taking the medicine, her condition was a little abnormal this time. She didn't wake up for a long time."

Xia Mingcheng added.

"Where was she unconscious?"

"At the pharmacy."

Lu Changan couldn't help but think deeply.

In the past two or three years, there has been internal turmoil within the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, with the Xin family competing for power.

The external trading industry has been suppressed by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.

The relationship between the Xia clan and the Xin family dropped to a freezing point after Xia Shenglan came back.

Later, the Xia clan accidentally found evidence that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce was supporting the Xin family, and there was an overt or covert struggle.

The Xin family admitted that they received help from the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but it was a normal transaction and they did not betray or betray the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.

Internal and external strife, coupled with the spread of wars in neighboring countries, brought more instability. The Chamber of Commerce inevitably suffered casualties from fighting, resulting in a shortage of medicine.

Xia Wenyue follows the path of a pharmacist.

In terms of medical skills and pharmacology, he is the first person among the younger generation. He prepares a large number of medicines for the family, so it is inevitable that he has been a little busy recently.

…

Not long after, Lu Changan followed the medicine boy to a pharmacy near the alchemy room.

In the pharmacy, a weak girl wearing a light blue smoke gauze skirt and eyebrows like indigo fainted on the ground.

Chen Yuluoyan's face was sickly pale, and his lips were blue and trembling slightly.

Lu Changan stretched out his hand and covered her smooth forehead, feeling a chill like frost.

Lu Changan frowned slightly and held her slender wrist, which was as cool as jade. He could clearly see the transparent light blue blood vessels under the crystal skin.

"The cold air erodes the meridians and organs, and over time, the disease becomes terminal."

Lu Changan came to a preliminary conclusion.

Under such symptoms, Xia Wenyue could barely maintain his cultivation, study medicine, and take care of the common things on the island, which was beyond his expectation.

If it were any other monk, his meridians would have been blocked long ago and he would have become a disabled person.

Lu Changan used Changqing's magic power to dissolve the cold air condensed in Xia Wenyue's body.

During this process, he discovered that Xia Wenyue had a deep hidden disease in her belly button.

"Could it be that the root of the disease was brought from the mother's womb?"

Lu Changan speculated.

Half an hour later, Lu Changan dispelled the stagnant cold air in Xia Wenyue's body.

At this time, the girl was coughing in a coma, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body temperature began to rise.

"Um?"

Lu Changan was about to let go of his hand when he suddenly noticed that the cold air began to slowly grow in Xia Wenyue's body again.

Where does the cold air come from?

Lu Changan felt puzzled. He pinched the girl's slender wrist with two fingers, faintly feeling the coolness coming from the bones.

"The cold has been stagnant for so many years, wouldn't her bones be..."

Lu Changan inspected Xia Wenyue's skeleton and found out again that he had expected it.

The girl's bones were as slender as jade, with a sense of crystal clearness. Although there was a sense of coolness, the expected coldness did not hurt the bones.

This coolness makes people calm and clear, which is different from the cold and cold air accumulated in the body.

No root cause of disease was found in the bones.

Lu Changan used his spiritual consciousness to bless Changqing's magic power and inspected the girl's upper body, up to her head.

"There is a chill in my soul..."

If it weren't for Lu Changan's powerful spiritual consciousness and his meticulous inspection, he would have almost overlooked it.

A hint of coldness surged through Xia Wenyue's soul and consciousness, as if it could freeze his consciousness.

"Han Soul... Jade Bone... Is this some kind of innate Taoist body?"

Lu Changan tried hard to recall the memories of his previous life.

Finally, the "Cold Soul Chalcedony" recorded in an ancient book was consistent with some of Xia Wenyue's symptoms.

The innate Tao body, also known as the innate treasure body, is an innate constitution that is independent of the spiritual root.

Lu Changan had very little contact with him in his previous life. In this life, he only heard that "Tuoba Jin", the genius of the Liang Kingdom, had an innate treasure body and later reluctantly formed a golden elixir.

"Xiao Ming, you go and do your work first. Wen Yue's condition is more serious and she still needs to be cared for with magic power."

Lu Changan waved his hand and told the medicine boy Xia Mingcheng to retreat.

According to the records in the ancient book of his previous life, only those possessors of an innate Taoist body such as "Hanso Chalcedony" could survive and develop if they were born in female cultivators.
