"He is indeed a troublesome man."

Of course, it was hard for Lu Changan to say that Xiang Jinglong was wanted by Lihuo Palace and joined the Demon Cult. All of this was thanks to him.

Now, this person has become a major obstacle for him to go to Jing Kingdom.

Of course, even if there is no Xiang Jinglong, there is still Xiang Dalong and Xiang Shaolong.

The Demonic Cult will always send a powerful person to intervene in the chaotic border area to obtain the resources, benefits and voice of this area.

"Can individual monks cross the border and reach Jing Country without going through these chambers of commerce and escort organizations?"

Lu Changan asked.

"It's hard!"

Li Congren shook his head and said: "The distance between the two countries is long, and there are large areas of poor souls, and even extremely poor souls, including naturally dangerous areas. The best way is to take a giant spiritual ship, driven by formation spiritual stones,

There is no need to waste one's own mana, which is helpful in resisting various risks from the outside world..."

Lu Changan showed a look of understanding.

Being a poor soul and a land of extreme souls means that it is difficult for the monks to replenish their mana during a long journey. With a tired body, the ability to resist external risks is greatly reduced.

Even without the suppression from the Liang Kingdom sect and the threat from the Demon Cult, the Jie Cultivators ambushed on the road alone would be enough to eat a pot.

The robbers, thugs, and wanted criminals running rampant on the border between the two countries are much more cruel than those in the Liang Kingdom.

"In the past, during non-war periods, False Dan Zhenren could easily cross the border, and there was some hope in the later stage of strong foundation building. But in today's special period, fake Dan Zhenren, traveling alone, has certain risks.

"

"More than half a year ago, a fake Dan master who crossed the border was attacked and died..."

Li Congren does not recommend individuals to cross the border.

According to his understanding, most of the fake Danzhen people traveling to and from Liang State currently travel on giant spiritual ships.

First, the comfort is good and you don’t have to travel long distances.

The second is higher safety. You can stay together to stay warm and use the formation of the giant spiritual ship to defend against enemies.

Lu Changan thought to himself: "As a result, the plan of crossing the border by pretending to be a fake Dan real person will not be easy to implement."

After being promoted to the later stage of foundation building, his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of the fake elixir master. With the "Hundred Fantasy Mask", he can disguise himself as the fake elixir master with higher cultivation level.

He had previously wanted to use this high-profile method to cross the border without telling anyone.

"When Baihuan Mask disguises its identity, it will slowly consume spiritual consciousness. The higher the simulation level, the greater the consumption of spiritual consciousness. Traveling long distances consumes both spiritual consciousness and mana. If you are crouched..."

Lu Changan shook his head secretly, temporarily rejecting this idea.

"If Grandpa Lu wants to go to Jing Country, Congren recommends the 'Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce'. Looking at the two major immortal cultivation countries, only this force can relatively reliably send people back to Jing Country."

"Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce?" Lu Changan had some knowledge of this force.

"Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce is one of the 'three major chambers of commerce' of the Jing Kingdom Commercial Alliance. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Its president is the deputy leader of the merchant alliance. This chamber of commerce has major business dealings with the Liang Kingdom sect and is generally not considered by the sect.

Investigate strictly."

"Every time we go back and forth, the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce will pay a huge sum of money to hire a powerful escort organization to escort us. In order to share the cost and obtain greater benefits, the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce will secretly sell some 'shipping tickets' and bring some Liang Kingdom monks back to Jing Kingdom.

"

"Oh? The Demonic Church will not stop the giant spiritual ship of the 'Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce'."

"The Devil's Cult will also give the Chamber of Commerce a small amount of money. Even if they encounter it, they can spend money to eliminate the disaster without killing them all. It is said that in the first two trips back to Jing Kingdom, more than half of the monks brought back to Jing Kingdom by Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce survived.

"

"Then where have the nearly half of the monks gone?"

"Congren doesn't know the details."

Li Congren said uncertainly: "Perhaps it is due to the risks on the way, such as encountering the Demon Cult and not being able to pay enough ransom. Anyway, most monks with background and sufficient financial resources can arrive safely."

Lu Changan suddenly realized that in the eyes of this descendant, he was the kind of monk with abundant financial resources and a good background.

"How to buy a boat ticket for Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Changan has sufficient financial resources, and his cash flow of spiritual stones alone exceeds 100,000.

"A ticket for the Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce needs to be introduced by a monk above the middle level of the merchant alliance. Plus the intermediary fee, one ticket will cost at least four to five thousand spiritual stones."

"Four to five thousand spirit stones?"

Lu Changan was secretly surprised that the genuine Foundation Establishment Pills sold at auctions often only cost six thousand spirit stones.

"Does Congren have a channel to buy a boat ticket for Grandpa Lu?"

"It's possible, but our Xuemeishan Li family doesn't have much weight in the eyes of the Jing State Chamber of Commerce. Grandpa Lu has a relationship with the 'Beast Control Zhou Family', so it would be safer to ask the Zhou Family to take action."

Mu Congren suggested.

As one of the seven major families in the Liang Kingdom, the Zhou Family of Yushou also has contacts with the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce and has greater say in the matter.

The ferry tickets purchased by the Zhou family are more secure during the journey.

Lu Changan thought for a while: "I don't trust the Zhou family very much."

"Can I trouble Congren to come forward? Grandpa Lu will cover all the management expenses."

"Grandpa Lu, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to Congren."

Li Congren agreed without hesitation.

…

Li Congren estimates that it will take at least a month to purchase the ferry ticket, because there are not places available every month.

During this period, Lu Changan stayed at the Li family in Xuemei Mountain.

The Li family in Xuemei Mountain is relatively close to the Zhou family of Yushou.

"Zhou Qingxuan...the most recent fake elixir master in the beast-controlling Zhou family in a hundred years, the Supreme Elder?"

At the Li Family in Xuemei Mountain, Lu Changan obtained the recent intelligence.

Zhou Qingxuan has a high-grade spiritual root, and has outstanding beast-controlling talents, qualifications and opportunities, which are better than Zhao Siyao.

Originally, this woman had some hope of being promoted to a true elixir.

However, the backlash from Master Huang Long damaged its foundation.

The stripping of the Baisu Soul Gu caused trauma to her sea of ​​consciousness, including the unresolved restriction on the Gu, which would have more or less impact.

The achievement of the fake elixir was within Lu Changan's expectations.

…

More than half a month later.

Li Congren went out and did not come back.

His wife Wu Yuee took the initiative to come to Lu Changan to discuss matters.

"Grandpa Lu, these days the rock rat and the little golden rat have a close relationship. If the rock rat is pregnant with offspring, I hope to keep some of the babies in Xuemei Mountain."

Wu Yue'e asked for instructions.

Rat monsters, once pregnant, will give birth to a litter.

This is the advantage of monsters in terms of reproduction, although their initial spiritual intelligence, cultivation of immortality, and other aspects are not as good as humans.

Of course, for species that reproduce quickly, their bloodline is often not guaranteed to be the same as that of their parents, and the chance of a lower-level bloodline appearing is higher.

"Congren's spirit rat didn't leave any heirs before?"

Lu Changan glanced at this ordinary-looking female foundation-building cultivator who was neither humble nor overbearing.

"The little golden rat is very demanding. He has never had close contact with ordinary rats before. Even this time, he was..."

Wu Yue'e's face turned slightly red and she swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Lu Changan felt funny.

Li Congren's spirit rat was actually semi-forced this time...

As early as Li Congren visited Xiaogui Peak for the first time.

The ground rock rat smelled the scent and acted very restless. At that time, he probably took a fancy to the opponent's spirit rat.

At that time, Lu Changan asked Li Congren whether his spirit rat was male or female, and Li Congren answered "male" (Chapter 184).

Later, the Earth Rock Rat went to the Beast Master Zhou's family for "further training". The rat demons were obedient and served him very comfortably, and he lived a nurturing life.

The beast-controlling Zhou family was interested in the mutated bloodline of the Earth Rock Rat and wanted to breed it with them. However, the Earth Rock Rat did not "conceive" any offspring during that period of time (Chapter 202).

At that time, Zhou Qingxuan said that the rock rat was very similar to Lu Changan.

"If the rock rat is indeed pregnant with an heir, he will share a portion with you. However, the rock rat must have the first right to choose the offspring."

Lu Changan said.

He was also not sure whether the rock rat would become pregnant.
