"It has nothing to do with this."

Lu Changan shook his head and did not say why.

The Guardian Alliance has now been reduced to the territory of the Three Kingdoms, with more monks guarding each country. In fact, the defensive pressure is relatively small, especially when dealing with top-end combat forces.

…

On that day, Lu Changan settled in a main peak cave in the hinterland of Jinyun Valley, enjoying a third-level high-grade spiritual environment.

This main peak is called Big Sun Peak.

In the middle stage of pill formation, cultivating in the third-level high-grade spiritual veins will be more efficient. Lu Changan is not worried about revealing his true cultivation level.

As a guest elder, enjoying such "superior" treatment is a special case in Jinyun Valley.

However, as the oldest friend of Jinyun Valley's chief cultivator, other real people did not dare to raise objections.

Early next morning.

Lu Changan went to pay homage to Zhao Siyao's mausoleum.

The next few days.

Lu Changan entertained visits from some real people.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Lu Changan's strength and connections, he is expected to become the number two figure in Jinyun Valley.

Most real people are willing to have a good relationship with Lu Changan.

Zhu Yuting, who was also the guest elder, also came and sat there for an hour, showing a certain interest in Lu Changan.

Zhu Yuting's cultivation, beauty, and as the only Jurchen alchemist, she is very popular in the alchemy circle within the sect.

However, Lu Changan did not give her any preferential treatment and treated her equally.

"Elder Lu, this is the token I sent to Yunlai Peak in the past."

That evening, a sect steward who was in the late stage of foundation building sent some items and letters to the cave.

Yunlai Peak is Lu Changan's cave in Jinyun Valley a hundred years ago.

Lu Changan checked the items and letters. Most of them came from old friends and juniors from all over the Liang Kingdom.

Some are asking for help.

For example, Ye Fei from Wu Qishan formed an elixir decades ago and tried to contact Lu Changan, but failed, and ultimately failed to form an elixir and died.

Among them are Xia Wenyue's letters, the earliest of which comes from a year ago.

Lu Changan took a casual look and recalled Xia Wenyue's information in recent years.

Xia Wenyue was promoted to the middle stage of alchemy formation many years ago.

This woman even showed her skills for the first time in the defensive battle of the Feng Kingdom, and had a record of killing the Demonic Pill Master.

Lu Changan was not surprised by this.

The advantage of the innate Taoist body does not lie in the speed of cultivation, but in possessing certain innate qualities or the bonus of magical powers and spells.

Xia Wenyue's "Ice Soul Chalcedony" has a considerable bonus on ice spells and magical powers, and her fighting skills are naturally stronger than most of the same level.

Theoretically, Lu Changan can go to Feng Kingdom now and ask Xia Wenyue for Taiyin Jade Liquid.

"hold on……"

Lu Changan was ready to subdue the nearly fourth-level puppet and then think about it again.

After all, asking for Taiyin jade liquid will easily make people jealous.

As far as he knew, Xia Wenyue had many suitors in the Feng Kingdom, and they were all outstanding.

His master is the current Nascent Soul Lord of Aoyue Palace.

Lu Changan was worried that if he didn't operate it well, he would be chased by True Lord Nascent Soul.

It would be safer to go to Feng Country if you accumulate more strength.

…

More than half a year later.

Zhao Tan'er returned from the battlefield of Jing State as a reinforcement.

Zhao Tan'er was naturally surprised to learn that Lu Changan was back.

However, she hid in the cave for several days, seemingly sulking and refusing to see Lu Changan.

At first, Lu Changan thought she had resentment in her heart.

If Lu Changan had not run away a hundred years ago and had become a Taoist couple with Zhao Siyao, the tragedy might have been changed.

Until this morning.

Lu Changan came to Zhao Siyao's mausoleum and "accidentally met" Zhao Tan'er who was paying tribute.

Zhao Tan'er's black hair is like a waterfall, her figure is graceful and light, and her eyes are bright and beautiful, like two stars of tears. At this time, they are misty and staring at the master's mausoleum.

"Uncle Lu..."

Suddenly seeing Lu Changan behind her, the corners of her eyes were red and her nose was sore.

"Don't blame yourself."

Lu Changan's voice was gentle, he patted her shoulder gently and comforted her.

After inquiring, he learned that Zhao Tan'er had always felt guilty about the death of his master Zhao Siyao.

It's not that I'm angry with myself, but I'm ashamed to meet him.

"Uncle Lu, it's all Tan'er's fault for taking the life-saving escape talisman you gave to the master..."

Zhao Tan'er had tears in her eyes and blamed herself.

Seeing the elders who are closest to me in the world, the emotions that have been pent up for decades seem to have found an outlet.

Her black hair was fluttering and the fragrance was diffused. She turned around to hug Lu Changan, buried her head in the latter's arms, sobbed softly, and talked for a long time.

"Uncle Lu, your master will not blame you. Besides, as a fake elixir master, your master will see the end of this life, so why not hope for the next life..."

Lu Changan estimated that even if nothing happened back then, Zhao Siyao would have died in the next few years.

"Uncle Lu, do immortal cultivators really have reincarnations?"

Zhao Tan'er wiped away her tears and raised her head, her eyes shining brightly.

"have."

"So sure, don't tell me you've seen it before?"

"I've seen it."

Lu Changan's confident answer made Zhao Tan'er feel much better.

Although she knew that Uncle Lu was mostly trying to enlighten and coax her.

After a long time, Zhao Tan'er's mood stabilized, she released her arms from hugging Lu Chang'an, and her pretty face glowed slightly.

Thinking of the last words left by the master before his death.

She stared at the youthful man in white in front of her, who was like an elder who was half a master, and opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.

In front of the tombstone, Lu Changan and Zhao Tan'er chatted for a long time until evening.

"Lin Lu?"

During this period, Zhao Tan'er mentioned his old friend and junior who disappeared on the battlefield of Fengguo in his early years.

Lin Lu was the son of the young Marquis Lin Yi. When the prodigal son returned, he was very filial to Lu Changan. During the middle period of foundation building, he participated in the sect's expedition against Feng Kingdom.

After some twists and turns, Lin Lu did not die. He actually switched to practicing demonic skills, was promoted to a fake elixir, settled in the demonic camp, married a wife and had children.

"Do you have anything else to say to Uncle Lu?"

Before leaving, Lu Changan saw that Zhao Tan'er had something on his mind.

"That's it."

Zhao Tan'er shook his head, spoke in a brisk tone, and changed the subject: "We haven't seen each other for a hundred years. We are both in the middle stage of pill formation. Uncle Lu wants to have a good discussion with Tan'er."

During the warmest twenty or thirty years in Jinyun Valley, Lu Changan fought with her and taught her practical experience, which helped her on the battlefield.

A few months later, Zhang Tianfeng and Zhao Tan'er went to the Demonic Battlefield one after another.

Zhang Tianfeng entrusted Lu Changan to take charge of the sect and refine the talismans, so that he could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and earn military merits.

Lu Chang'an gave Zhao Tan'er a third-level high-grade escape talisman to save her life, and told her not to be greedy for merit and rush forward.

…

one year later.

Lu Changan returned to Jinyun Valley for two years and turned 313 years old.

The return of Master Chang Qing triggered a heated discussion in the Liang Kingdom. However, in the context of the invasion of demons, the major forces did not pay too much attention.
