Chapter 366: Taking charge (asking for leave on the 25th)(1/3)
Lu Changan knew the elegant meaning of the stringed music.
Zixia Zhenjun mentioned that the enemy's suspected pill-forming overhaul was the key to the previous battle at Tengling Mine, and was also the reason for talking to him.
Across the world of immortality, Nascent Soul Lord serves as the highest deterrent, and ordinary conflicts of interest will not end easily.
The order of Daewoo is relatively stable, and there are also such hidden rules.
Therefore, in the later stage of Dan formation in the Yuan Ying sect, they are all important figures who are responsible for their own performance.
"In a few decades, our sect may be able to survive the lean years."
"But nowadays, major repairs to the alchemy of our sect are still scarce. Xuefeng Sect mainly handles sect affairs and coordinates internal and external affairs; the 'Huadu Master' who was promoted a few years ago will also be in charge of the high-level immortal city..."
True Monarch Zixia looked worried and stated the current situation.
"Senior Sister Zixia, do you want me or Mr. Diyan to take charge of the Tengling Mine to deal with the troubles in the Ye family?"
Lu Changan thought.
Now that the sect is undergoing a major repair of alchemy, he is the only one who is relatively free.
Moreover, as a third-level top-grade puppet master, Elder Xiang has stronger book strength than the other two alchemy masters.
True Monarch Zixia nodded and said: "Junior Brother Xiang is the best candidate at the moment. Our conversation with you today is mainly for discussion and is by no means forced."
"If Junior Brother Xiang is willing to take charge of the mine, our sect will have additional subsidies for spiritual stones and elixirs, including the sect's contribution. In addition, the third-level fine ore from the Tengling Mine can be used as an excellent puppet refining material, and the leader can receive it every year.
Enjoy a certain share…”
Third-level fine ore?
When Lu Changan heard this, he was also moved. The puppet army he had built was short of team members and good materials.
This kind of task of being in charge of the fairy city and the industrial base was originally the task agreed upon when he became a guest minister.
Compared with the dangerous and uncontrollable war of cultivating immortals, the task of defending the mine is not risky for him.
First of all, it is unlikely that Lord Nascent Soul will end up personally.
With his ability to protect himself, there is no need to worry even if the enemy Nascent Soul has no martial ethics.
Secondly, the Tengling Mine is within the Yunxia Sect's sphere of influence and is protected by formations and under the care of the sect.
"There's no need to go there, Mr. Diyan. You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife."
True Lord Zixia added.
"Lord Diyan is a transformed holy beast. If he goes there, he may escalate the matter, break the unspoken rules, and attract the Ye family's Nascent Soul True Lord."
Hearing this, Lu Changan nodded slightly. Zhenjun Zixia had thought carefully and he was indeed the best candidate.
"Sister Zixia, don't worry, Xiang will take good care of Tengling Mine and safeguard the interests of our sect."
Lu Changan agreed to this matter.
"With Junior Brother Xiang's words, I can practice with peace of mind, cultivate my magical powers, and strengthen my magic weapons."
Fairy Zixia showed her face and smiled, making the flowers dim and beautiful.
Lu Changan noticed that the cultivation level of Zhenjun Zixia was approaching the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul.
After the death of True Lord Yunlan, True Lord Zixia can mobilize more resources in the sect.
At the moment, her goal is to become a veteran Nascent Soul monk.
If you want to reach this standard, you must either improve your cultivation level and reach the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, so that your magic power will become stronger.
Either improve your magical powers, magic weapons, and have corresponding strength.
Even if they are both in the early stage of Nascent Soul, the gap in strength between them is not small.
For example, between a 300- and 400-year-old Nascent Soul True Monarch and a 700- and 800-year-old Nascent Soul Monster, the latter often has a deeper foundation and stronger supernatural powers.
"I wish senior sister to achieve great success in her magic power as soon as possible."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Changan asked to leave.
With a smile on her face, Fairy Zixia was elegant and polite, and she personally sent Lu Changan outside the cave as if she were a distinguished guest.
…
Without further ado, Lu Changan set off the next day.
Before leaving, he went to the underground palace of the fourth-level spiritual veins and explained some matters to Lord Diyan.
After yesterday's conversation, Lu Changan understood the subtlety of Zhenjun Zixia's arrangement this time.
Elder Xiang sits in charge of Tengling Mine and makes the best use of everything.
Lord Diyan guards the mountain gate like a needle that fixes the sea.
In this way, Fairy Zixia can safely improve her strength and occasionally go out to purchase and trade in Dayu Kingdom.
There is also an obscure point.
Since Lu Changan is not in the sect, Zhenjun Zixia can spend time with Earth Rock Rat and cultivate their relationship alone.
Lu Changan secretly sighed, as a Jurchen Jun who was hundreds of years old and in charge of a large sect, he could not be pure and innocent, and he could also have strategies and scheming.
In this world, a truly magnificent woman is by no means stupid and sweet, because wisdom is also part of her charm.
Half a day later.
Lu Changan took the sect's flying boat and arrived at the edge of Yunxia Sect's power.
In addition to Lu Changan, there was one true elixir monk, three fake elixir monks, and a dozen foundation-building monks on the flying boat.
"Elder Xiang, below is the Tengling Mine."
The person who accompanied him in the early stage of Zhendan was a dignified and beautiful female cultivator in Qingshang, whose Taoist name was "Xiuyu Zhenren".
Zhenren Xiuyu is the female disciple of Zhenjun Zixia, and she comes to assist Lu Changan.
Following her guidance, a low hilly area came into view.
From a distance, it looks gloomy and there is no majestic and magnificent landscape.
It is this mountain mine that has created huge profits for the Yunxia Sect.
The sect's headquarters in Tengling Mine is surrounded by a castle and a market. In addition to the sect's disciples, there are also members of the Tie clan within it.
The hinterland of the mountains is the forbidden area of the sect.
There is a green bamboo forest there, mostly second-order spiritual bamboos.
Among them, there are eight third-order spiritual bamboos as the base of the formation. Together with numerous second-order spiritual bamboos, they form a large wood spirit formation that gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This formation not only gathers spirits, but also has phantom formation and defensive effects.
"With the help of the wood spirit formation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here can reach the level of third-order mid-grade spiritual veins. Fortunately, the wood spiritual energy is acceptable, and with the subsidized elixirs and spiritual stones, it does not affect the practice."
Lu Changan's eyes fell on the center of the bamboo forest formation.
There is a separate bamboo and wooden pavilion, made of second-order high-grade spiritual bamboo, with a small courtyard in the front and a garden in the back.
It covers a total area of several acres and is equipped with alchemy rooms, refining rooms, etc.
"Yinzhu Pavilion."
This bamboo and wooden pavilion is where the guardian of Tengling Mine is located. There are three words engraved on the plaque.
On the periphery of the bamboo forest, there are also some scattered bamboo buildings, which are where other alchemy monks, including fake alchemy masters, live.
…
"Elder Xiang and Master Xiuyu arrived in time. Yuan can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
In the Yinzhu Pavilion, an old man wearing brown robes came out. He was in the middle stage of alchemy cultivation. He was seriously injured and his vitality was severely damaged.
"Elder Yuan."
Lu Changan and Master Xiuyu met with Elder Yuan who was guarding this place.
Without much exchange of pleasantries, Lu Changan and the others asked Elder Yuan about the situation of the Tengling Mine.
According to Elder Yuan's statement: On that day, the third-level formation outside the mine was breached. On the surface, it was another branch of the Tie clan that split off. In fact, there was a group of monks who were more powerful and secretly helped.
That group of monks were mostly members of the Ye family, one of the four great families, who were behind the scenes.
One of the mysterious pill-forming monks just shot a flying sword from a distance and cut a gap in the formation at the critical moment.
Later, the Tieling Mine was looted and the losses were considerable.
The enemy was outnumbered and Elder Yuan was afraid of the mysterious pill-forming monk, so he could only use the geographical advantage to passively retreat and defend, without the ability to fight back.
"That mysterious pill-forming monk is a sword cultivator?"
Lu Changan couldn't help but ask.
If you are doing sword cultivation in the later stages of the Dan Formation, it will be more difficult than the general major Dan Formation cultivation.
"It's possible, but he only took action once, so we can't be sure. He seemed to have disdained to take action after that, otherwise Yuan might not be alive."
Elder Yuan recalled this moment with lingering fear.
To be continued...
