MTL - I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals-Chapter 176 bad news from the front

  Chapter 176 Bad news from the front line

  After Mu Bingyun left.

  Lu Changan began to consider how to deal with Senior Brother Zhuo.

  He had analyzed before that Senior Brother Zhuo was removed from the Lihuo Palace. According to the official of this force, there should be no soul lamp left.

  But as the black glove of a monk in Lihuo Palace, this person may have connections with high-level officials, so it must be taken just in case. Once it dies, other means of sensing cannot be ruled out.

  At least, Senior Brother Zhuo cannot die at this point in time.

   It is best to show up on another occasion at a certain time in the future, and then die. In this way, we can separate ourselves from Wu Qishan and Lu Changan.

  As for those who are blamed, they should let nature take its course and do not have to force it.

  Otherwise, it is easy to superfluous.

"half year later."

  Lu Changan set a death date for Senior Brother Zhuo, at least half a year later, or a year later.

  Brother Zhuo's spoils are valuable, but they are of little use to Lu Changan.

  The rudimentary form of the Golden Fighting Magic Treasure is obviously stolen goods and cannot be used blatantly.

  Lu Changan has a prototype of a magic weapon that has been cultivated and refined for many years, which is more suitable and less expensive than this one.

  Generally, those with profound mana in the late stage of foundation establishment, or those with outstanding spiritual consciousness, are able to control the prototype of the magic weapon.

  The two quasi-third-order talismans, one attack and one escape, can be regarded as expanding Lu Changan's treasure talisman library.

  This kind of quasi-third-order talisman is not suitable for cultivation due to the different refining methods and materials.

  Quasi-third-order talismans, corresponding to fake pills, are often born in two ways.

  First, the refining skills are not enough, and the third-order material symbol is used, and the grade is downgraded to the third-order.

  Second, the skill is up to standard, and the quasi-third-level monster fur painting system is used.

  Monsters are promoted to the third level, which is similar to the alchemy formation of human beings, and the inner alchemy must be condensed in the body.

  A low-quality inner alchemy is equivalent to a human fake alchemy monk, and it can be regarded as a quasi-third-level monster.

   "The material of the crystal condensing pill, if you are destined to make alchemy in the future, you can consider the rock rat if you have extra crystal condensing pills."

   Lu Changan pondered.

  Monsters attack the third level, condense the inner alchemy, which is similar to human monks.

  Thus, the Crystal Condensation Pill is also useful for rock rats.

  The Congealing Crystal Pill is specially adapted to human monks, and the effect of taking it by monsters should be discounted.

   There are many types of monsters, and the smaller the difference from human life, the closer the effect of taking Congealing Crystal Pill will be.

  The effect of the Rat Demon taking Ningjing Pill will not be bad.

   After all, many human medicines are tested on mice.

  Before, Lu Changan didn't find his own alchemy, and the rock mouse only considered quasi-third order.

   In the future, if there is a surplus of Condensing Crystal Pills, the Rock Rat can keep the fake pills at the bottom, and there is a slight hope of becoming a third-level great demon.

  …

  Now, Senior Brother Zhuo is bound underground near the north of Wuqi Mountain.

  Underground rocks have a strong isolation effect on spiritual consciousness.

   Without knowing the specific location, even if Daoist Jiedan flew by, he would not be able to notice it.

  The ground rock mouse is in charge of guarding, and uses Bigu Dan to maintain the nutritional supply of Senior Brother Zhuo.

  Because of the restriction, this person does not even have the ability to commit suicide.

  Lu Changan intends to interrogate Senior Brother Zhuo, but considering the information about the appearance of the "Dark Night Fisherman", there may be monks visiting Lihuo Palace in the near future, so he temporarily put this matter aside.

   Three days later.

  Song Wenshu led two monks from Lihuo Palace to Wuqi Mountain to collect information and track down the "Dark Night Fisherman".

  The three peak masters of Mount Wuqi actively cooperated and provided clues.

  Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi truthfully answered what happened that night.

  Lu Changan only concealed the part about the subsequent capture and killing of Senior Brother Zhuo.

  After routine.

  Song Wenshu was a guest at Xiaogui Peak, accompanied by three peak masters from Lu Changan.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, the 'Dark Night Fisherman' has reappeared around Wuqi Mountain and almost hurt your junior. This is Song's dereliction of duty!"

   Talking in private, Song Wenshu expressed his apology and lowered his posture a bit.

  In order to strengthen the law and order around Wuqi Mountain, Lu Changan had arranged spirit stones for him before, and they had a slight friendship with each other.

  Song Wenshu's words and deeds made Shi Manrong and Shi Manrong feel good about him.

  The monks from the Lihuo Palace have a high status outside, and they seldom make false remarks to casual cultivators.

   "Song Daoyou is serious. After all, it is a special period, and the manpower of your palace is also limited."

  Lu Changan said politely.

  If he didn't know the truth, I'm afraid he would be moved by this person's words.

   "Three peak masters, please rest assured, Song will further strengthen the inspection around Wuqi Mountain in the future..."

  Song Wenshu comforted him.

   "By the way, Lihuo Palace is planning to raise the reward for 'Dark Night Fisherman'. Are the three interested in participating?"

   After chatting for a while, Song Wenshu mentioned it casually.

  Only Lu Chang'an understood that Song Wenshu's words were meant to test the tone.

  Test their determination to pursue the "Night Fisherman".

   "Sigh, Lu has no confidence in apprehending such a famous criminal. When he used a trick to lure Jiexiu that night, he didn't know his identity. If he goes out in the future, he will be lucky if he doesn't think about revenge."

  Lu Changan smiled wryly.

  Shi Manrong said regretfully: "The thief was seriously injured and escaped that night, so he was on guard. If he wants to arrest him in the future, it will be difficult to have such a chance..."

  Song Wenshu remained calm, seeing that the three peak masters did not intend to get to the bottom of it.

   After sitting on Xiaoguifeng for a quarter of an hour, Song Wenshu got up to leave.

  The three peak masters in Lu Changan sent Song Wenshu outside the cave.

  Ye Fei said with emotion: "This fellow Daoist Song is gentle and elegant. He doesn't pretend to be himself, but he is a good friend."

  Lu Changan nodded with a smile, and didn't talk much about this topic.

  Fairy Shi has a deeper relationship with him, and she has a faint intuition.

  Lu Changan was as polite as ever to Song Wenshu this time, but he seemed to lack the interest and sincerity he had in the past.

  …

   Half a month after the monk from the Fire Palace left.

  Lu Changan finally went to the underground north of Wuqi Mountain to try to interrogate Senior Brother Zhuo.

  In the dark underground cave.

  Brother Zhuo's complexion was pale, his eye sockets sunken, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

   Until he saw Lu Changan, his pupils shrank, but he didn't show any shock.

   These days, Senior Brother Zhuo is guarded by the Rock Rat, so there are speculations about it.

  Lu Changan released some of his restraints and regained his ability to speak.

   "Brother Zhuo, answer some questions honestly, and Lu will give you a treat."

  Lu Changan said frankly.

   "Lu Changan, do you know Zhuo's identity? Kill me if you have the ability! At that time, the whole Wuqi Mountain will be buried together!"

  Brother Zhuo was stunned for a moment, with a gloomy expression on his face, he grinned grimly.

   "The tone is not small."

  Lu Chang'an was a little surprised. Could it be that this person really has a big background?

   "Joke! If you have this kind of energy, why hide your head and show your tail and wander outside as a robbery cultivator."

   "Hmph! Zhuo is a descendant of the elder of Lihuo Palace. If you don't believe me, go ask Song Wenshu about it."

  Brother Zhuo sneered.

   "The descendants of the elders of Lihuo Palace? Lu has never heard of it. Is there any real elder in Lihuo Palace whose surname is Zhuo?"

  Lu Changan was dubious.

  The elders of the Lihuo Palace, the lowest level of cultivation is a true alchemy monk, most of them are ordinary elders, elders of the outer sect.

   There are only a handful of elders who are truly core.

   Lu Changan has practiced in Liang Guo for more than a hundred years, and he is basically familiar with these big figures.

  Brother Zhuo fell into silence, either he had something to hide, or he deliberately created a mystery, and he didn't elaborate on his own background.

  Lu Chang'an was not strong.

  This person is seriously injured and currently has lost his mana. Except for his will and vision, he is quite an ordinary person, and his body cannot withstand torture.

  In addition to torture, Lu Changan has a lot of options.

   A few more days passed.

  Lu Changan did not give Senior Brother Zhuo the Bigu Pill, making him hungry, weak and unconscious.

  In this state, Lu Changan cast the "Ecstasy Spell", allowing him to be successfully recruited.

   Hoo!

   In just a moment, Senior Brother Zhuo woke up from the "Ecstasy Spell".

   "Who the **** are you? In the middle stage of foundation establishment, your spiritual consciousness is so good..."

  Brother Zhuo broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Lu Changan in disbelief.

  In the Lihuo Palace, only the golden core seeds, in the later stage of foundation establishment, have such powerful spiritual consciousness.

  Lu Changan smiled without saying a word, fed him a bigu pill, and re-imposed the restriction, making sure there was nothing missing.

  In the short moment just now, he used the enchantment spell to ask a few questions from Senior Brother Zhuo.

  …

   Returning to Little Turtle Peak, Lu Changan pondered for a long time.

  Brother Zhuo's original name was "Zhuo Yangping", but he was actually the great-grandson of a powerful elder in Lihuo Palace.

  Many years ago, this person committed a crime in the sect. He raped several female disciples, including an inner disciple who pretended to be Dan, by means of threats and lures.

  After the incident was revealed, Brother Zhuo absconded in fear of crime.

  The elder with real power hated evil like an enemy and threatened to kill relatives righteously.

  Finally, the law enforcement cultivator from Lihuo Palace "killed" Senior Brother Zhuo outside and calmed down the matter.

  From then on, Senior Brother Zhuo lost his name in Lihuo Palace and kept his name incognito.

  According to Senior Brother Zhuo's answer, the powerful elder did not intend to keep his great-grandson.

  It was a deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, either in order to please the powerful elder, or for other purposes, on his own initiative, secretly saved Senior Brother Zhuo.

  The deputy hall master happened to be Song Wenshu's elder.

  In these years, a considerable part of the wealth and female cultivators looted by Brother Zhuo was used to honor each other.

   "The great-grandson of Elder Jie Dan, this is a relationship, not close or far..."

  Knowing the truth, although Lu Changan felt apprehensive, he had confidence in his heart.

  Brother Zhuo’s background is indeed not small, but it’s far from being Babel.

  His status is more than a notch lower than the direct disciples of Palace Master Lihuo and the law enforcement elders.

  The Yuanying Zhenjun of the Lihuo Palace is the Supreme Elder, who basically doesn't ask about the common things of the sect.

  If it involves the direct descendants of Zhenjun Yuanying, or his direct disciples, who have a background beyond the understanding of Lu Changan's previous life, he will not think about it at all, and run away directly, even away from Liang Guo.

  …

  Two months passed in a flash.

  There was no response from Lihuo Palace, during which Song Wenshu really stepped up inspections around Mount Wuqi.

  The security environment nearby has been improved.

   This day.

  Lu Changan received a letter from Jin Yungu.

  Zhang Tieshan and Lin Lu are both fighting in neighboring countries, and the owner of the letter is Zhao Siyao.

  Zhao Siyao cryptically disclosed in the letter: The sect is about to recruit the second batch of monks to fight in Feng Kingdom.

  Lu Changan guessed that Zhao Siyao might be in the list of the second batch of monks.

  At the same time, the letter also brought a piece of bad news, or bad news, from the frontline battlefield of Feng Kingdom.

   The 17th update is delayed. (It’s too late to reply, I have no status to write, go to bed early, and try to be earlier tomorrow..)
