"Roughly the same."

Lu Changan nodded and did not deny it.

He is now a genuine third-level alchemist, and he has never shown such skills in the Liang Kingdom.

After receiving the affirmation, the eyes of Jiang Ruotong and others brightened, and their gazes towards Lu Changan changed.

It turns out that Feng Yuan Kingdom is poor in resources and has few vegetation and medicinal materials, resulting in a shortage of high-level alchemists.

Feng Yuan Kingdom has a lot of ore resources, there is no shortage of weapon refiners, and there are even some puppet masters.

Only high-level alchemists, who are few in number and have a high status, are better than those in the Defending Alliance.

"The little girl boldly invites Mr. Xu to become the guest elder of Xuanyin Pavilion."

Jiang Ruotong knew there was little hope, so she still tried her best.

At that time, Xuanyin Pavilion was breached at the mountain gate and suffered heavy losses. Only some of the elite monks moved to Feng Yuan Kingdom, and the talent was withered.

The sect's former third-level alchemist has completely passed away.

With the decline of talents and the harsh environment of Feng Yuan Kingdom, it is very difficult to train alchemists of that level.

Without a third-level alchemist, Xuanyin Pavilion could not continue to generate blood, and the alchemy monks were born.

Jiang Ruotong is the only true elixir monk born after Xuanyin Pavilion moved to Feng Yuan Kingdom. He spent his previous sect's heritage.

"Xu Mou heard that Xuanyin Pavilion's rules do not recruit male cultivators?"

Lu Changan looked strange.

Being invited by the Xuanyin Pavilion, which is a pure female cultivator, with Xu's status as an elder, this is something that many male cultivators would never dare to dream of.

"That was the rule of the immortal world in Liang Kingdom..."

Jiang Ruotong told the reason with a bitter look on his face.

Many years ago, Xuanyin Pavilion had to break the rules in order to gain a foothold in the Fengyuan Kingdom and avoid being coveted by all forces.

For some male cultivators with outstanding skills or who can help the stable development of Xuanyin Pavilion, we are authorized to join as guests.

In order to bind these high-end talents, Xuanyin Pavilion even betrothed its talented and beautiful female disciples to them.

Of course, these are just some special cases.

Xuanyin Pavilion will not accept ordinary male cultivators, even if they have outstanding talents.

"If Mr. Xu agrees, Ruotong can make the decision: There are hundreds of female cultivators in Xuanyin Pavilion. Except for the master of the pavilion, the other female cultivators can be chosen by Mr. Xu as Taoist concubines."

Jiang Ruotong's demeanor was correct and his tone was sincere, not joking.

Lu Changan was secretly dumbfounded. The female cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion who were once high in the Liang Kingdom were all pure and clean, sought after by others, and ignored the male cultivators from other forces.

Now, in order to win over him, a third-level alchemist, he lowered his stance and opened the door wide.

Just like a club audition on earth, you can choose.

A phoenix falling into the water is worse than a chicken. This is the situation.

Hearing Jiang Ruotong's "choose a Taoist companion", the other four female cultivators' faces turned slightly red.

They lowered their heads shyly and looked at the elegant Mr. Xu, their eyes bright and radiant.

Miao Jing, who was tall and round-waisted, looked a little shy and secretly looked at Mr. Xu from the corner of her eyes, already agreeing in her heart.

"Xu comes to Feng Yuan Kingdom for the first time and cannot make decisions easily."

Lu Changan declined politely.

Jiang Ruotong sighed quietly and did not force it anymore, but just asked Lu Changan to think about it in the future.

The eyes of Miao Jing and the four girls showed disappointment.

"By the way, who is the current master of Xuanyin Pavilion..."

Lu Changan thought about the information in the intelligence.

Jiang Ruotong replied: "The master of the pavilion is the little girl's uncle, Master Niyue. Mr. Xu may have heard of her name."

"It turns out to be Fairy Niyue. Xu had heard of her reputation when he was in Feng Country."

Lu Changan stood in awe.

More than a hundred years ago, when the Qingming Secret Realm was opened, Lu Changan had a surprise glimpse and saw the "Niyue Fairy" leading the team.

At that time, Fairy Niyue was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world of immortality cultivation in Liang Kingdom.

Now, Fairy Niyue has become the new generation leader of Xuanyin Pavilion.

…

Six days later.

The harsh wind and sand along the road began to gradually subside.

The small sand beast vehicle that Lu Changan was riding in occasionally passed through some oases, hills, and water pools that lacked spiritual energy.

The monks from Feng Yuan Kingdom in the past appeared from time to time.

Most of the monks from Feng Yuan Kingdom are tall and have brown skin.

Among them, the proportion of body-refining monks is much higher than that of the Defending Alliance.

Lu Changan discovered that at least 40% of the monks either practiced physical training or practiced purely physical training.

This is related to the harsh environment of Feng Yuan Kingdom, which has relatively abundant resources suitable for body training.

At this time, Lu Changan had almost arrived near the border of Feng Yuan Kingdom.

The closer we get and the deeper we go into Feng Yuan Kingdom, the more stable the climate in the Gobi becomes, even suitable for mortals to live in.

Since ancient times, the central area of ​​this flying sand desert, Feng Yuan Kingdom, has had a relatively stable and livable climate.

The Holy Land of Snow Mountain, the deserted cities, oases, and spiritual lands developed by many indigenous tribes have gradually improved this desert land over thousands of years.

In the Sand Beast carriage, Lu Changan was digesting the useful information he got from Jiang Ruotong.

In Feng Yuan Kingdom, in addition to large gathering places like the Eight Great Wastelands, there are also large and small spiritual land oases scattered around.

The Bada Huangcheng belongs to the forces of the native tribes of Fengyuan Kingdom and enshrines the Holy Mountain of Ice and Snow.

These deserted cities occupy medium to large spiritual veins and fertile land, and are very repulsive to monks from the outside world.

The monks outside the desert are called external cultivators or alien cultivators.

Outside cultivators in the Eight Great Wastelands, they don't get fair treatment and are bullied, it's nothing more than a trivial matter.

It is common for foreign cultivators in the sphere of influence in and around the deserted city to be killed by monks from indigenous tribes to seize treasures.

Foreign cultivators who come and go for business must pay spirit stones in Huangcheng and apply for a temporary "residence order."

This kind of settlement order only lasts for one year at most. When it expires, you need to re-examine and apply again.

The rules of the deserted city are to protect outside cultivators who have a move-in order within the city.

However, this is only a protection of principle, and at most it means that you will not be beaten or killed on the surface.

In every corner around the deserted city, one or two foreign cultivators occasionally died, but most of them were ignored.

Fortunately, Huangcheng, represented by the eight major tribes, is not the only force in Feng Yuan Kingdom.

For tens of thousands of years, a large number of foreign monks have gathered in the southeastern region of Feng Yuan Kingdom, called the "Foreign Sect Alliance"

These forces were initially composed of several sects, and later joined many immortal cultivating families and chambers of commerce, reclaimed the spiritual veins of large and small oases, and established fairy cities.

Only some of the monks in the Outer Sect Alliance come from several countries in the Weidao Alliance.

There are also many from the land of immortal cultivation on the east side of Liang Kingdom and on the other side of the poisonous swamp.

That area is the territory of the Five Poison Sect and the Thousand Machines Sect. They are also in constant disputes and there is no peace.

Among the forces of the Outer Sect Alliance, there are even sects founded by deserters and traitors from the Five Poison Sect and Qianji Sect.

There, it's easier to buy golems and poisonous items.

The tribes in the Eight Great Wastelands are naturally unhappy with the foreign sect alliance on the other side of the bed, and there will inevitably be friction and fighting between the two sides.

There was even a small-scale immortal-cultivating war.

In the end, the two sides negotiated a ceasefire, exchanged trade, and coexisted around Feng Yuan Kingdom.

There are two reasons for this result:

First, the tribes in the eight desert cities have feuds with each other and have constant internal conflicts, making it difficult to get together.

Secondly, the Celestial Masters of the Snow Mountain Holy Land do not protect the desert areas outside the eight desert cities, and rarely step out of the snow mountains, aloof from the world.

Moreover, the Outer Sect Alliance also has Nascent Soul-level backers, but this area has not yet cultivated fourth-level spiritual veins, and there is no permanent Nascent Soul Lord.

"I will first transition to Scorpio Desert City for two years, familiarize myself with the local environment, and replace resources..."

"Let's go to the sphere of influence of the Outer Sect Alliance, where the trade of cultivating immortals is more developed, which is conducive to collecting life-extending pills and hitting a higher puppet realm..."

Lu Changan calmly made a rough plan.
To be continued...
