Qi Feng and the pair of male and female monks from the sect looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and stood in silence for a while.

Qi Feng noticed that there was no longer much hostility in the eyes of the two sect monks who had been chasing and beating him a few days ago.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, what is the connection between you and Senior Lu?"

The female cultivator from the sect broke the silence, showed an implicit smile, and explored.

"Grandpa Lu, follow me..."

Qi Feng's thoughts were whirling and he responded intelligently. His speech was no longer awkward and he seemed calm and unhurried.

Unknowingly, the three people who were enemies before started chatting.

Half an hour later.

Lu Changan and the man with a long beard walked out of the cave, chatting happily.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we are all one family, so there is no need to treat each other politely."

The bearded man had a ruddy face and a cheerful tone.

Before leaving, he glanced at Qifeng:

"Little friend Qi, you can stay in Xiaogui Peak with peace of mind from now on. There is insufficient evidence for the wanted list on you. When you are presented to the Law Enforcement Hall, with Elder Zhang's care, you can be officially removed from the list."

"Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."

Qi Feng bowed and was overjoyed. At the same time, a turmoil arose in his heart.

Without investigation and cross-examination, he, a major suspect, was cleared of charges?

Maybe the other party doesn't care about the truth at all.

…

Qi Feng, who had been busy for a long time, presented a delicate fruit plate to Lan Rou and complimented her for a moment.

"Sister Lan, the foundation-building monk of Jinyun Valley, why are you so polite to Grandpa Lu?"

Qi Feng was confused and did not dare to ask Lu Changan directly.

"Inspector Liu, I have something to ask of you."

Lan Rou slowly ate the spiritual fruit.

"Two months ago, Inspector Liu asked me to refine a quasi-third-level talisman as part of a task shared by the sect. I refused because of my lack of ability and did not buy into his account."

"This person doesn't have any resentment?"

"My dear friend, Master Tianfeng, is the outer elder of Jinyun Valley and the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall. It's too late for him to flatter me, so how can he dare to get angry?"

"Elder Jinyungu?"

Qi Feng was shocked that his non-blood ancestor actually had such strong connections.

at dusk.

From the two adjacent main peaks, two foundation-building monks flew out and headed straight for Little Turtle Peak.

The two foundation-building monks, one male and one female, were very handsome and had a subtle amount of spiritual pressure on their bodies, which was better than the previous Liu Xinxuan.

Especially the female foundation-building cultivator, dressed in a moonlight dress, with a tall and plump figure, elegant and refined, and a high and quiet charm.

Qi Feng was shocked to be a heavenly being. As a casual cultivator, he had never seen a female Foundation Establishment cultivator with such a temperament.

"Shi Xianzi and Ye Yaoshi are here."

Lan Rou arranged her appearance and quickly stepped forward to receive her.

Lu Changan also welcomed him out of the cave.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu, for being promoted to the late stage of foundation building."

Shi Xianzi and Ye Fei came to congratulate him.

Previously, Lu Changan had just made a breakthrough in cultivation and needed to consolidate his realm, so they did not come over immediately.

Regarding Lu Changan's promotion to the late stage of foundation building, Ye Fei had mixed emotions, including surprise and envy.

No matter how old he is, by taking this crucial step, Lu Changan has surpassed most of the foundation building stages.

Most of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage will never be able to advance to the later stages of their lives.

Shi Xianzi smiled brightly. As a former pillow person who fought side by side with Lu Changan and had a deeper understanding, he was not surprised.

At the age of one hundred and forty, it is indeed rare to be promoted to the late stage of foundation building.

However, Lu Changan's cultivation speed was slow, step by step, steady, and there was no abnormality.

Many years ago, he asked Huanglongshan to collect materials and refine the level-breaking elixir for the later stage of foundation building.

Sufficient financial resources, cultivated skills, a deep foundation, a better state of mind than ordinary people, and obtained the level-breaking elixir... With various blessings, Lu Changan's breakthrough can withstand scrutiny.

In this case, the outside world can at best guess that he has a certain chance, but not much.

Who among the casual cultivators who can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building has no chance?

Nowadays, Lu Changan's ability to protect the Tao has been greatly improved, and he has strong connections with the elders of the sect, so he no longer even needs to hide Xuan Shui Turtle's second-level cultivation level.

…

In the cave, Lu Changan held a banquet to celebrate, took out the second-order spirit wine, and entertained the two peak masters.

After three rounds of drinking.

Ye Fei's face was ruddy, he burped and said:

"With Fellow Daoist Lu's accomplishments in talismans, why not draw more high-quality talismans, strive to gain military exploits, and exchange for some scarce resources."

“Not worth it.”

Lu Changan shook his head and said, "If you want to exchange for war merit, you must go beyond the basic tasks assigned, and there are requirements for the grade of the talisman. Lu has no shortage of spiritual stones and training resources for the time being."

"Besides, at Lu's age, there is no hope of forming an elixir, so there is no need to work hard day and night."

During the war, Liang Guo's sect opened the exchange of military merits to the monks recruited, and even the monks who shared the logistics tasks.

However, this exchange rule is very stupid.

The monks who went to fight on the front line were given more military merits and were relatively easy to obtain.

However, this kind of monks are easy to die in battle, the risk is high, and they may not be able to enjoy it.

Craftsmen who provide logistical and combat readiness resources have a much lower rate of exchange for military merit, and they also have corresponding requirements for grade.

If Lu Changan can refining stably and supply quasi-third-level talismans, the military merits obtained will be considerable, and he can even exchange for most of the scarce materials of the Crystal Condensation Pill.

However, Lu Changan has experienced several lives and fully understands the principle of "the capable work hard".

If you show too much ability, you may be assigned more tasks and place more expectations on you.

Therefore, Lu Changan adopted the strategy of fishing and becoming a gangster.

Only complete basic assigned tasks and do not expect to gain military exploits.

He looks down upon a small amount of military exploits.

Having too many military exploits will easily attract the attention of the sect's senior leaders. If you run away in the future, it will increase invisible resistance.

"There is no hope of forming a pill?"

Master Shixianzi pursed her lips and chuckled, and said meaningfully:

"Fellow Daoist Lu can be called the representative monk of the Liang Kingdom who is a late bloomer in the world of immortality. He will live for a hundred years. If you encounter a great opportunity in the future, you may not be able to break through the next level."

The theoretical upper limit of the life span of the foundation period can reach two hundred and forty years.

However, 90% of the foundation-building monks only live to be around 200 years old, not counting death halfway.

Over the long years of one or two hundred years, the lives of most monks will have ups and downs, experiencing great joys and sorrows, and encountering certain accidents.

In addition to fighting skills, small oversights in practicing exercises will also affect your lifespan.

"With the auspicious words of the Fairy, Lu is able to find a fake elixir in this life, which is a blessing he has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Lu Changan heard the hint in Master Xianzi's words.

The so-called great opportunity refers to the ancient ruins in the Black Mist Mountains.

According to the agreement, after Lu Changan is promoted to the late stage of foundation building, this matter will be moved up the agenda.

Ye Fei echoed: "My friend Lu Dao is getting older and stronger. It has taken hundreds of years to achieve the false elixir, so there should be some hope."

…

It's late at night.

Lu Changan sent the two peak masters out of the cave.

Shi Xianzi stayed and exchanged a few words with Lu Changan alone.

"You haven't seen any ground rock rats in recent months?"

Shi Xianzi looked around the mountain with her clear eyes and said in surprise.
