Chapter 381 Enslaving the owner of Huarong Tower
Seeing Lu Changjing taking the notes, Lou Guangzhi said seriously: "The importance of the Lucky Cloud Technique is far beyond your imagination, so you must pay attention to it. As long as it does not affect the improvement of your cultivation level, you must spend time and energy on it. It has infinite benefits and endless potential."
"Elder Lou, I can understand that one can improve one's talents and cultivation foundation, but what does it mean to be able to improve one's potential?" Lu Changjing couldn't help but ask.
Lou Guangzhi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to tell you. According to the rules of the Wanxiang Sect, only those who have entered the realm of Earthly Venerable are qualified to know."
"I can't tell you rashly. You will know it naturally after you step into the Earthly Venerable. It's not good for you to know it in advance. Just remember to practice well and don't slack off."
Looking at Lou Guangzhi's solemn expression, Lu Changjing nodded: "I understand."
Afterwards, Lou Guangzhi explained to Lu Changjing some things about the Wanxiang Sect, and specifically told him that he was not qualified to accept him as a disciple. He had already sent a message to the true elders of the Jiuyang Elephant to see if there was any one who was willing to accept him as a disciple.
The disciples of Wanxiang Sect are generally divided into four levels: miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples and true disciples. However, miscellaneous disciples are generally not considered to be the official disciples of Wanxiang Sect.
The elders of the Wanxiang Sect are also divided into different levels, namely outer image elders, inner image elders and true transmission elders. Outer image elders are generally Xuanzun, and inner image elders are generally Dizun. Lou Guangzhi is an inner image elder, so he is qualified to decide the number of inner image disciples.
Just like how he treated Lu Changjing, the highest qualification he could give him was that of an inner disciple.
Above them are the true elders, who are also the core and pillar of the One Elephant. Only the Heavenly Venerable is qualified to serve in this position and can decide the number of true disciples.
Some people may say that some elephants have limited systems of martial arts and combat skills, and may not even have Xuanzun, Dizun and Tianzun. In that case, these elephants do not have outer image elders, inner image elders and true image elders, but only menial disciples and outer image disciples.
Even if he is the Lord of the Elephants, if he has not entered the realm of Xuanzun, he will not claim the position of an elder. This is also the peculiarity of the Wanxiang Sect.
Although each elephant has great freedom, they can still maintain unity in certain rules.
The true elders that Lou Guangzhi mentioned were the several Heavenly Masters of the Nine Dragon Elephant. In his opinion, with Lu Changjing's talent and qualifications, he could definitely catch the eyes of several Heavenly Masters. It just depended on which Heavenly Master would be interested in Lu Changjing.
During the period of waiting for news, Lu Changjing cannot go to Wanxiang Sect for the time being, because the Wanxiang Sea is currently in a period of chaos, with various disasters, tsunamis, earthquakes... emerging one after another. He needs to wait until it calms down before he can go to Wanxiang Sect.
Otherwise, even with Lou Guangzhi's strength, he would not be able to bring Lu Changjing safely to the Wanxiang Sect.
Since decades ago, the number of disasters in the Vientiane Sea has increased significantly, and is still growing. No one knows what is going on.
Ding Haizhu!
The first thing that came to Lu Changjing's mind was the image of this unknown treasure. It seemed that all the disasters on Chang'an Island began to break out after problems with it occurred.
I didn't expect that the same was true for the Wanxiang Sea. Could it be that the Dinghai Pearl not only fixed Chang'an Island, but also the Wanxiang Sea, and even a wider area?
Thinking of this, Lu Changjing couldn't help but be shocked. If this was the case, the value and power of the Dinghai Pearl would be much more terrifying than he had imagined.
Fortunately, when leaving Chang'an Island, or since he got the Dinghai Pearl, Lu Changjing had been consciously concealing the existence of the Dinghai Pearl.
Those demons and monsters who knew about Dinghaizhu were also killed by him, so the matter would not be leaked.
Otherwise, it would be fine if the Wanxiang Sect knew about it, but if those demons and monsters knew about it, who knows what kind of waves it would cause.
However, Lu Changjing knew in his heart that this matter could not be concealed for long. Before it was exposed, he must have enough strength to keep the Dinghai Pearl.
This is the most powerful treasure he has ever obtained, and Lu Changjing can only use less than one billionth of it, so he is not willing to lose it easily.
During the chaotic period, only the Heavenly Masters dared to travel across the entire sea. If a Heavenly Master of the Nine Yang Elephant took a fancy to Lu Changjing, he might come and pick him up in person.
At that time, perhaps they will come to the rescue of Chang'an Island for the sake of this new disciple.
If he doesn't come, Lu Changjing can only wait until the calm period, and Lou Guangzhi will send him to Wanxiang Sect.
Compared to these branches, the headquarters is the real place for cultivation. Many precious places, resources, and skills... can only be obtained at the headquarters.
In two to three years at the least, or several decades at the most, the Vientiane Sea will enter a period of calm, and then we can set off.
After understanding this matter, Lu Changjing was no longer so anxious. He planned to follow Lou Guangzhi's advice, practice and improve himself with peace of mind, and comprehend the Auspicious Cloud Technique.
Although it is temporarily impossible to go to the main sect, Fenghan Island has abundant resources and treasures, at least enough to meet the needs of a Xuanzun. It can even satisfy the practice of a Dizun, let alone a Xuanzun.
Many mysterious resources and treasures that are scarce on Chang'an Island are not only abundant on Fenghan Island, but at least readily available. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money to buy these resources and treasures.
After explaining everything, Lou Guangzhi specially gave Lu Changjing a storage magic ring, which contained more than a hundred bottles of various elixirs and medicines that Lu Changjing needed.
For example, the Nine Yang Pill!
The Xuandan specially tailored for the Nine Yang Tian Gong system is divided into four levels: low-level Xuandan, intermediate-level Xuandan, high-level Xuandan, and top-level Xuandan, which are suitable for the cultivation needs of Xuanzuns at different levels.
It can improve one's spirit, energy and vitality, and its effect far exceeds the various elixirs and medicines that Lu Changjing had taken before.
Lu Changjing had learned about it in the ancient books on Chang'an Island, but he didn't get any on Chang'an Island. Now, Lou Guangzhi gave him dozens of bottles of intermediate Nine Yang Pills, totaling several hundred pills, enough for him to use for several years.
For example, Xiangyundan!
This is a top-grade Xuandan that helps in the practice of Xiangyun Technique. Although its effect is limited, it is much better than taking elixirs.
There are also various other elixirs, which are commonly used by the Xuanzuns of the Nine Yang Elephant, and are also what Lu Changjing needs.
Lu Changjing was quite grateful for this. Even if it was just to make friends with this genius, Lou Guangzhi had paid a little too much.
This is not only about making friends with him, but also about cultivating him and bringing better fresh blood to the Nine Yang Elephant, which is the love and care of the elders.
It is said that the atmosphere in Wanxiang Sect is very good, and now it seems to be true. Compared with the intrigues and deceptions of most sects, Wanxiang Sect is much better.
Lu Ying also gave him dozens of bottles of Nine Yang Pills, Xiangyun Pills, etc. on behalf of the Lu family. If the family knows about Lu Changjing's affairs in the future, there should be more rewards.
At the same time, a residence was specially arranged for him in Guangyang Palace, where Lu Changjing lived before going to the Zongzong.
With the concentration of spiritual energy in the heaven and earth here, even without the assistance of various elixirs, Lu Changjing's cultivation speed can be increased several times. If there are sufficient mysterious elixirs and mysterious medicines, it goes without saying.
It used to take decades to break through to the four-star Xuanzun realm, but now it should only take a few years.
He experienced too many things today and learned too many things he didn't know before. Lu Changjing also needed to digest them well.
Yangchun Palace!
This is the residence arranged for him by Lou Guangzhi. It is also one of the best palaces in Guangyang Palace. It covers an area of dozens of square kilometers and is protected by a group of ground formations. Even the Earth Lord would find it difficult to break through.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, and the power of the sun is abundant, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary people. It is especially suitable for warriors who practice the Nine Yang Tian Gong system.
As soon as he entered, Lu Changjing felt relaxed all over. Even though he had never practiced cultivation, he could feel the improvement of his spirit.
Good place, good treasure land!
Lu Changjing was quite satisfied with this place. He did not ask anyone to serve and take care of him. He chose a practice room in the deepest part and prepared to start practicing.
The deceased is like a husband who does not want to leave day or night.
Now his cultivation and strength are still too weak, so he must seize every moment to practice.
Before practicing, he took an intermediate Nine Yang Pill. The abundant medicinal power contained in it can effectively assist in improving his energy and spirit.
According to the effect of the medicine, Lu Changjing practiced the Nine Yang Horizontal Sky Sutra, the Nine Yang Immortal Body and the Nine Yang Visualization Method in turn, frantically digesting the medicinal power of the Nine Yang Pill.
It only took a few hours to digest all the medicinal power, and then he took another Nine Yang Pill.
Other Xuanzuns would take ten days or half a month to dare to take one Nine Yang Pill, but when it came to Lu Changjing, he took three Nine Yang Pills in one day and was almost ready to take the fourth one.
He originally thought that the hundreds of Nine Yang Pills that Lou Guangzhi and Lu Ying gave him would last for at least several decades, but now it seems that they may not even last for a year.
The foundation is too deep, the digestion ability is too amazing, and there is no need to worry about the problem of unstable foundation. Lu Changjing has no choice.
It took nearly ten hours to improve his cultivation level, and the benefits he gained were also very considerable. One day of cultivation was equivalent to a year of cultivation for a Xuanzun of the same level. This was the power of the Nine Yang Pill, which greatly increased Lu Changjing's cultivation progress.
There are still a few hours left in the day, so I will comprehend and practice the Nine Dragons Combat Skills System. If there is still time, I will practice formations and alchemy.
Lu Changjing began to rebuild the Nine Dragons Combat Skills System. Since he had already mastered the old Nine Dragons Combat Skills System to perfection, his comprehension of the new one was as if he were assisted by God.
It was also much easier to start over. Nine Dragon Steps, Nine Dragon Tribulation, Nine Dragon Cover... began to progress in an orderly manner.
The news about Lu Changjing gradually spread, and many disciples of Guangyang Palace knew about it. Some even came to visit specially to inquire about Trial Island No. 2222.
Lu Changjing also knew at this time that after confirming that there might be no life on Trial Island No. 2222, the Wanxiang Sect had cancelled this Trial Island, and Trial Island No. 2222 had been replaced by another island.
There are indeed many similar trial islands in the Wanxiang Sect, at least hundreds of thousands of them. Trial Island No. 2222 is already one of the more advanced trial islands.
Due to the complex environment of the Vientiane Sea and the constant occurrence of various disasters, trial islands are often destroyed. Situations similar to Trial Island No. 2222 are very common.
But there are not many people who are as lucky as Trial Island No. 2222.
After being trapped in the Super Sealing Heaven Prison for hundreds of thousands of years, it has not been destroyed. Instead, a genius and evildoer escaped from it. This matter is somewhat legendary and has attracted the attention of many people.
Not only the people from Guangyang Palace, but also some other disciples of Xiang and people from the outside world were paying attention to it.
However, neither Lou Guangzhi nor Lu Ying had revealed Lu Changjing's specific talents. Although the atmosphere in the Wanxiang Sea was good, it did not mean that the Wanxiang Sect had no enemies.
If they knew about Lu Changjing's situation, they would definitely want to kill him in advance.
It would be better to wait until we enter the main sect and are completely safe before revealing this matter.
Therefore, the statement to the outside world was that although Lu Changjing had good talent and qualifications, it was only at the normal level of a Xuanzun, one in a million.
He did not reach the Xuanzun realm at the age of 38, but was promoted when he was over 1,380 years old.
This also saved Lu Changjing a lot of trouble, allowing him to practice and improve himself with peace of mind.
Cultivation, realm, combat skills, secret techniques... are all improving in an orderly manner.
At this time, Lu Changjing also began to comprehend and practice the Auspicious Cloud Technique, which is also recognized as the number one secret technique of the human race.
When I first started reading it, I didn't look at Lou Guangzhi's notes, but wanted to see my current talents, aptitude and understanding.
This book of secret techniques does not contain much content, only a few thousand words, but Lou Guangzhi's notes have nearly a million words, which is about a thousand times more.
After reading it carefully and finishing it quickly, Lu Changjing still had no clue.
He frowned slightly and began to read it for the second time. This time it took him a little longer, a full half an hour, which was several times longer than before.
But after finishing it, I still don’t feel much.
Then I did it the third time, which took an hour, but I still felt nothing.
The fourth time...
The fifth time...
The sixth time...
……
In a blink of an eye, a day passed and he had memorized it by heart, but Lu Changjing was still confused and could not understand much.
With a wry smile, he began to look through Lou Guangzhi's notes, trying to understand them word by word, and this time he finally got something.
It only took a few days to comprehend the first level and start practicing.
And this is just understanding, it is still far from practice and perfection.
Auspicious clouds are harder to come by than ascending to the sky!
The disciples of Wanxiang Sect did not lie to me. This statement was indeed correct.
You should know that Lu Changjing's current talent and aptitude have reached the level of a monster, and with the blessing of his extraordinary talents, his comprehension is not much inferior.
It took me so much time, and with the help of Lou Guangzhi's notes, I finally understood the first level. There are still ninety-nine levels to come. How long will it take just to comprehend them?
Lu Changjing was a little helpless. Even though his speed was already very fast, he was used to speeding forward and still felt uncomfortable.
Looks like he needs help from initiation!
The initiation technique requires finding a suitable person to be initiated. After a little consideration, Lu Changjing decided not to look for a disciple of Jiuyang Xiang. He did so for his own safety.
Regarding the existence of the initiation technique, he is not ready to tell others about it for the time being. Even on Chang'an Island, only his lovers know about it. Lu Changjing has also blocked his memory to avoid being discovered.
This secret technique is too powerful, and Lu Changjing relies on the golden finger to avoid its side effects. He is afraid that someone will find out the abnormality.
It’s better to keep it secret and find someone who can delete or modify his memory at will to help.
After all, the Lucky Cloud Technique has spread so widely, and there are many people in the outside world who have practiced it to a very high level, so there is no need to look for the Wanxiang Sect.
For example, Chen Derong, the owner of Huarong Tower!
Huaronglou is also the largest intelligence organization on Fenghan Island, and also a brothel organization with countless beauties from all races.
Thanks to the unique conditions and environment, the intelligence obtained is amazing.
If he could capture Chen Derong, not only would it help him practice the Xiangyun Technique, but he would also be able to control a huge intelligence organization, making it easier for him to do many things.
Chen Derong's attainments in the Lucky Cloud Technique have reached the twenty-second level. If he can absorb all of it, he will be able to leap into the Lucky Cloud Ranking and gain the sect's attention and respect.
When the inner disciple token was being made, Lu Changjing's aura had already been transmitted to the main sect and sensed by the Auspicious Cloud Stele.
Therefore, if he practices the Auspicious Cloud Technique to the sixteenth level or above, he can enter the Auspicious Cloud Monument.
Guangyang Palace is located in the Fusang Mountains. At the foot of the Fusang Mountains is Lieyang City. Lieyang City is the largest and most prosperous city on Fenghan Island, and is controlled by the Nine Yang Elephant.
The headquarters of Huaronglou is located in Lieyang City, in the center of Lieyang City, covering an area of dozens of square kilometers. The women in the headquarters could at least score over 99 points in their previous lives, and there are many who scored over 100 points.
After hiding his body and disguising himself with the Mirage Dragon Seal, Lu Changjing transformed himself into an inconspicuous middle-aged man and entered the headquarters of Huaronglou.
There is a group of top-level Xuan formations arranged here. With Lu Changjing's attainments as an intermediate Xuan formation master and the top-level Xuan formation-breaking talismans, it is not difficult to sneak into it.
Once Chen Derong's whereabouts are found, we can take action immediately.
His strength has reached the realm of eight-star Xuanzun, which is five small realms higher than Lu Changjing. There are also levels from lower Xuanzun to middle Xuanzun, and from middle Xuanzun to upper Xuanzun. The gap is quite big.
However, in the face of twenty-one times the cultivation foundation and many characteristics, Lu Changjing is full of confidence.
I heard that the owner of Huarong Tower is extremely beautiful, so it would be okay to get close to her while she is using the initiation technique. I don't know what she looks like though.
