Two months later.

Lu Changan left the cave at the foot of Huanglong Mountain.

No one knew that there was a ferocious second-level spiritual pet in his spiritual pet bag.

Returning to Shuiyueju, everything returned to normal.

In order to keep it secret, Lu Changan did not let the Earth Rock Rat appear in front of outsiders, including Guan Qiaozhi.

He bought a larger spiritual pet bag for the rock rat.

This rat either stays in the spiritual pet bag or moves underground and cannot leave the other courtyard.

Fortunately, Lu Changan has a second-level formation that can cover his aura, so he is not afraid of being detected by passing Foundation Stagers.

…

Time flies.

Two years after the big auction ended.

Since Lu Changan bought a second-level mid-grade animal skin during the auction, he has better materials for drawing talismans.

In the past two years, he has drawn and made five more second-level middle-grade talismans, and together with the three he refined in previous years, the number has reached eight.

Among them are two second-level mid-quality products,

Its power is equivalent to a full blow in the middle stage of foundation building, and it is very lethal to the early stage of foundation building.

As for the second-level lower-grade talismans, the number is even greater, with dozens of them in total.

This is the foundation he has accumulated over the years he has been in Huanglong Fairy City.

Because it borders the Black Mist Mountains, Lu Changan can occasionally obtain second-level monster skins, including second-level talismans and spiritual ink.

It would be difficult to obtain so many second-level raw materials in Feiyue Lake Mujia and Qingzhushanfang City.

"Could it be that my opportunity to build a foundation is also in the Black Mist Mountains?"

On this day, sixty-seven-year-old Lu Changan opened his eyes from meditation.

Now, his cultivation is approaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.

The conditions for impacting the foundation building stage are basically mature, but a genuine foundation building pill is missing.

In the past few years, no one in Master Huadan’s circle of masters and disciples has provided Xuanling Fruit.

Even if there is, if the alchemy is performed poorly, there is no guarantee that you will be able to obtain genuine Foundation Building Pills.

In short, it is not under your control.

Lu Changan considered filing a plan to go to the Black Mist Mountains to obtain a special demon core to replace the 300-year-old Xuanling Fruit.

Although there are risks in hunting monsters, many factors can be controlled, and it is not as complicated and dangerous as the human world.

Lu Changan only lives a long life, not immortality.

It is unrealistic not to take any risk.

If the lifespan of two hundred years is delayed to one hundred years old, the physical condition will also decline.

Except for this filing.

Waiting for a medium-sized market to auction the Foundation Establishment Pill. If there is no one present during the later stage of Foundation Establishment, go and buy one in a high-profile manner.

Referring to Zhuye Shanfang City back then, risks were difficult to control.

Opportunities like this are rare.

Those medium-sized markets with stable public security rarely bid for foundation-building pills to avoid causing trouble.

…

Until two months later.

Lu Changan received a letter from Jin Yungu and finally made a decision.

Zhao Siyao is coming to the Black Mist Mountains for training again.

Zhao Siyao, who had been building foundation for more than 20 years, encountered a bottleneck and his cultivation was stagnant at the third level of foundation building, making it difficult to advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

When Zhao Siyao was refining the ninth level of Qi, he made some small gains in the Black Mist Mountains and advanced the progress of foundation building.

She wanted to rekindle the fighting spirit of the past.

Go to the slightly deeper area of ​​the Black Mist Mountains to hunt the second-level monsters and obtain precious resources.

Zhao Siyao's destination is consistent with Lu Changan's appeal.

"There is a trusted foundation-building monk who will be the main force, and the second-level spiritual pets will open the way. I will provide support and provide some talismans. It should be safer to pick the early second-level monsters to attack."

Lu Changan imagined.

Counting his true strength, it is equivalent to the three major foundations.

Lu Changan's physical body is comparable to that of a second-level monster, and he possesses many second-level talismans, including second-level escape talismans, and his survivability is far better than the average foundation-building period.

This does not include the Nine Seal Monument and the trump cards from past and present lives.

As long as you don't enter the core area in the Black Mist Mountains, you will encounter at most second-level monsters.

The higher third-level demons have a tacit understanding with the human Danden Realm and can sense each other from afar. Generally, they will not approach Huanglong Immortal City, otherwise it will be a provocation.

Once it appears, it means the arrival of a beast tide, and signs will often appear in advance.

…

Before Zhao Siyao arrived, Lu Changan sorted out his magical weapons.

With his current cultivation level and spiritual consciousness, high-grade magical instruments have become the main force, and medium-grade fine magical instruments have become the supplementary ones.

Top-grade attack weapon, bone bow and arrow.

The evil-faced flying eagle's trophies have enough energy and are as powerful as those in the foundation-building period.

The evil-faced flying eagle was punished, so this item is no longer considered stolen goods.

Lu Changan currently has no plans to use it in the human world.

At most, people are secretive and will not come out openly.

Top grade defensive weapon, white scale shield.

It was made of second-level monster scale skin and second-level ore, and was purchased by Lu Changan at a regular store in Huanglong Fairy City.

"Exotic White Beads", injected with mana, can activate the rays of light to protect the body, resist poisonous gas, and its protective capabilities are comparable to high-grade magic weapons.

However, the protective ability of this bead's rays of light against heavy magic weapons and sharp magic weapons is slightly poor.

It has the best defensive effect against spell attacks.

In terms of spell defense effects alone, it even exceeds the scope of high-grade magic weapons.

Lu Changan prepares three medium-grade magic weapons on a daily basis:

Black net magic weapon, purple soft sword, cold iron thorn.

They are all high-quality instruments.

The black net magic weapon can be used offensively and defensively, and can also trap enemies.

The purple soft sword is good at hiding and changing forms, and can transform into two forms: sword and long whip.

There are six cold iron thorns in total. They are a set of magical tools purchased by Lu Changan. They are thicker and longer than the Qiqiao needles and have stronger penetrating power.

This complete set of magical instruments requires more spiritual consciousness than high-grade magical instruments.

If you have the control of the spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage, the cold iron thorn can be used to its limit, and its power is not inferior to that of high-grade magic weapons.

Because every cold iron thorn is of top quality.

In order to make the Cold Iron Thorn more lethal, Lu Changan combined his previous life experience to purchase materials in Huanglong Fairy City and prepared several second-level poisons.

As for the higher-quality magic weapons.

Lu Changan didn't consider it at all. His level of magic power was not enough to control it.

Even if he has enough spiritual consciousness, if he controls it forcefully, most of his mana may be drained out in one blow, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Instead of doing that, it is better to throw a few second-level talismans without consuming mana.

…

Lu Changan is fully prepared and waiting for Zhao Siyao's arrival.

"Hey! Li Erqing hasn't replied to your letter in the past two years?"

On this day, he sorted through his letters over the years and found something unusual.

In the past, Li Erqing would write letters every year. Even if there was nothing important, he would chat about the daily affairs of his family and children.

But in the past two years, I haven't received a single reply.

Lu Changan had a hunch that something had happened to Li Erqing!
