Chapter 409 Playing Slowly
Lu Changjing wants all the local tools, local resources and treasures, and various industries on Cao Mei's body.
However, looking at the extremely well-behaved Cao Mei in front of him, Lu Changjing suddenly realized that this crazy woman looked quite good, but why was she such a person? It was a waste of her good looks.
She was wearing a bright red silk dress with a low neckline that revealed her plump breasts. Her face was like a lotus, her eyebrows were like willows, and her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms and very captivating.
Her skin was as white as snow, her black hair was tied up in a high bun, her head was full of jewels that shone brightly in the sun, her bright red lips were slightly raised, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.
However, to be able to cultivate to the level of Earth Lord Overlord, the body has been tempered and improved time and time again. Even an originally ugly person will become as beautiful as a flower, not to mention that Cao Mei was not bad looking to begin with.
After the acquired tempering and improvement, she would have been an over 100% stunning beauty in her previous life, but her character was a bit poor, which made people not interested in her at all.
Lu Changjing didn't waste any time and asked her to stay still. He then began to search her body for resources and treasures, and at the same time, used the soul-stealing technique to steal her memory.
As a Earth Lord, he has an inner world. Cao Mei is a four-star Earth Lord, and his inner world is nearly fifty kilometers in radius, or more than seven hundred square kilometers.
It can store both various dead objects and living things, but Cao Mei did not store any living things in her inner world. It is full of dead objects, that is, various resources and treasures, basically all earth-level resources and treasures, which are also the accumulation of Cao Mei for more than 10,000 years.
With just one glance, Lu Changjing knew he had become rich.
Through his memory, Lu Changjing learned that there were more resources and treasures before, but a large part of them were used by Cao Mei to train Huang Rongrong.
If not for this, Huang Rongrong would not have been able to improve so quickly.
The Huang family, to which she belongs, favors boys over girls. Even though they know that Huang Rongrong is extremely talented and far superior to anyone else in the family, they are still unwilling to give too many resources and treasures to Huang Rongrong.
In addition, the Huang family is limited in size and cannot provide too many resources and treasures, so Cao Mei can only do it herself.
She has always been selfish, but she has spent a lot of resources and energy to cultivate Huang Rongrong as her target.
If this were not the case, Cao Mei would not have shown her true form this time, wanting to capture Huang Rongrong alive with her clone and thus successfully take over her body.
Originally, Cao Mei wanted to wait until Huang Rongrong broke through to the Earth Venerable level before taking over her body, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Huang Rongrong in advance, so she had to take action immediately.
As a middle-level Earth Lord, Cao Mei's lifespan is nearly twelve thousand years. Now, she has lived for ten thousand and one hundred years, and she only has about eighteen hundred years left to live.
Originally, he had the opportunity to break through to the upper level of Earth Venerable, and thus have a longer life. However, due to a battle in his early years, the foundation of his body was damaged, and he can no longer ascend to a higher level through his body.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Mei carefully selected Huang Rongrong as her apprentice and focused on training her in preparation for taking over another's body.
Huang Rongrong's talent, aptitude, Nine Yin Body... all far surpass hers. If she succeeds in taking over Huang Rongrong's body and uses it to practice, she might have a great chance of breaking through to the upper Earth Venerable level within 1,800 years and greatly increasing her lifespan.
It's a pity that an accident happened, but now it can be considered a good thing for Lu Changjing.
However, if it weren't for her paranoid personality and the influence of the Nine Yin Tian Gong system, Cao Mei probably wouldn't have done such a reckless thing.
There are too many resources and treasures in the world inside Cao Mei's body. Lu Changjing temporarily took away the most precious ones, including some precious earth tools and even earth-level treasures.
However, Lu Changjing cannot use it now. If he wants to use the earth weapon, he generally needs to have source energy, which only the Earth Lord can possess.
The Dragon-Tiger Sword is an exception. It can be activated by both source energy and mysterious energy. Otherwise, Cai Chaoan would not have given it to Lu Changjing.
Not to mention the earth-level elixirs, Lu Changjing is also unable to take them. Xuan Qi and Yuan Qi are basically two different forces. The earth-level elixirs contain medicinal power that enhances Yuan Qi, which is completely different from the Xuan-level elixirs.
The essence, energy and spirit in the body of the Earth Lord merged into one and turned into source energy. From then on, there was no more essence, energy and spirit in the body. Source energy represented the essence, energy and spirit.
The system of exercises will also undergo tremendous changes. There will be no so-called Nine Yang Immortal Body for body refining exercises, Nine Yang Horizontal Sky Sutra for qi refining exercises, or Nine Yang Visualization Method for spirit refining exercises. There will only be the Nine Yang Treasure Book, which also integrates the method of cultivating essence, energy, and spirit. Once practiced, the essence, energy, and spirit will be improved simultaneously and can no longer be distinguished from each other.
When one reaches the level of Earth Lord, source energy is the essence, energy and spirit. There is no such thing as earth blood, earth energy and earth soul. There is only source blood, source energy and source soul. All three are a kind of power, that is, the power of source energy, and can be transformed into each other.
In order to distinguish between Earth Lord and other realms, some warriors still use terms such as earth blood, earth energy, earth soul, earth soul sea, and earth body. In fact, these forces are the same, have been integrated into one, and can be transformed at will.
With Lu Changjing's Xuanzun level of cultivation, instead of using earth weapons, it is better to use a Xuan weapon that suits him, so that he can unleash the strongest power.
As for the industries and resources that Lu Changjing had been thinking about, Cao Mei also had a lot of them, many of which had not been exposed, but she had secretly seized them through various means, such as the Baishi mining area, the Red Sea shell field, and the Huaguoshan Island...
Unexpectedly, the owner of these somewhat famous resources and industries is actually the crazy woman Cao Mei. They are not far from some of his industries, so he can quietly take them into his own hands later.
As for those industries and resources that apparently belong to Cao Mei, or the industries and resources that belong to Jiuyin Xiang, let her keep them for the time being and quietly transfer the harvest to Lu Changjing.
With the resources and treasures provided by Cao Mei, the middle-level Earth Venerable, it is more than enough to make up for Lu Changjing's gap in this regard. From then on, he can practice in peace and be promoted to the Earth Venerable level as soon as possible.
From Cao Mei, Lu Changjing also learned a lot of inside information about the Nine Yin Elephant and the Wanxiang Sect, some of which were of some use to him.
Originally, I wanted to get the locations of the true bodies of other Earth Lords from Cao Mei, but Cao Mei didn't know either. Every Earth Lord hid the location of his true body very carefully and would not even tell his partner, so how could it be so easy to find out.
Cao Mei is not a very good person, or rather, the Earth Lord of the Nine Yin Elephant is not a very good person. Even the only Heaven Lord of the Nine Yin Elephant, the Supreme Lord, is not a very good person, and is even more paranoid and sinister, and his actions are extremely extreme, even more so than Cao Mei.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the support of the Wanxiang Sect, the Nine Yin Elephant would have long become the target of public criticism and been besieged by many forces.
Over the years, there have been more than one or two individuals and forces harmed by the Nine Yin Elephant. However, due to the influence of the Nine Yin Elephant's martial arts system, the top leaders of the Nine Yin Elephant have extreme personalities and behaviors, and they simply cannot listen to advice.
Unless a genius with extraordinary talent appears in the future and reforms the Nine Yin Elephant's martial arts system, bringing it back on track and no longer being an evil martial arts system.
After understanding Cao Mei's situation, it is natural to delete and modify her memory to make her more loyal to himself. In case the subsequent soul-picking technique is unlocked, she will not fall into the worst situation.
For this reason, Lu Changjing checked Cao Mei's body again and again to make sure that there was no backup plan, such as memory backup or something. Any abnormalities were destroyed by Lu Changjing.
After confirming that there was no problem, Cao Mei's clone was released, and her real body was placed deep in the trench where the Blood Dragon Turtle and Blood Kunpeng were imprisoned, and she was asked to help guard the two quasi-earth servants. It was also very close to the Vientiane Islands, and she could help Lu Changjing deal with various matters at any time according to his instructions.
At the same time, Lu Changjing also mobilized the people of the Dajing Immortal Dynasty and asked Cao Mei's Earth Lord clone to arrange to take over her hidden industries, such as the Baishi Mine, the Red Sea Shell Farm, and the Flower and Fruit Mountain Island...
After taking over these industries, Lu Changjing's power will increase several times. The resources and treasures provided by these industries alone will be able to meet most of his resource needs.
At least it can provide the industries and resources needed for the cultivation of a Earth Lord. Now it can be used to provide the cultivation needs of Lu Changjing, a Mysterious Lord, which is barely enough.
But it's just barely enough. Lu Changjing's current consumption is so astonishing that it is no longer comparable to that of an ordinary Earth Overlord.
With twenty-one times the cultivation foundation and special physique, Lu Changjing can now take several high-level Nine Yang Mysterious Pills every day.
The energy consumed in one day is equivalent to the energy consumed by a warrior of the same level in several months.
Good things come in pairs. Just after arranging Cao Mei's affairs, Lu Changjing's Xiangyun Technique made another breakthrough and reached the twenty-third level. Naturally, his ranking on the Xiangyun List was improved again.
8398 name!
Compared with the previous level, it has risen by one or two hundred places. It has been climbing steadily and steadily. By the next year, it will surely be able to obtain more resources and treasures.
However, at this moment, the focus of most people in the Wanxiang Sect is still on the Wanxiang Contribution List. As the most popular and fastest-improving disciple on the Wanxiang Contribution List during this period, Lu Changjing is still attracting countless warriors.
As for the small improvement on the Xiangyun Ranking, isn’t that a very normal thing? They have gradually become accustomed to it over the past few years.
Because at this time, the second senior brother Zhao Jingang specially sent a message talisman to thank him for saving Laiyun Island.
As mentioned before, Zhao Jingang was also very surprised by this, but he was also quite fortunate.
He originally thought that he wanted to help his junior fellow apprentice to make contributions, but he did not expect that his junior fellow apprentice gave him a big surprise and helped him to preserve an important industry.
Although Laiyun Island is not the most valuable of his industries, it has the best environment and is the industry that provides the most exotic flowers and fruits, making it irreplaceable to a certain extent.
If the blood beast were to break through, it would be a big blow to Zhao Jingang, and it would take many years to recover.
When he returned to the Nine Yang Elephant, he was greeted by many disciples again, and the Lu family proposed holding a celebration again.
Considering that this time it was also strongly requested by many people, and there were still many individuals and forces who had not yet made friends with Lu Changjing and wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Lu Changjing, Lu Changjing could not always keep his distance.
Moreover, this time he was far ahead of others in the Vientiane Contribution List and had made great progress, so it was worth holding a celebration, so the matter was handed over to the Lu family.
Anyway, seeing that Lu Xun looks very happy and obviously enjoys this, I'll just leave it to him.
Lu Changjing only needs to show up on the day of the celebration and say a few words to everyone. He can get a large amount of resources and treasures for free. Why not do it?
However, with his current rapid progress, I am afraid that the Lu family will have plenty of opportunities to hold celebrations in the future. I hope they can still enjoy it by then.
Cai Chaoan also specially called Lu Changjing over and asked him about the circumstances of his killing of three blood dragon whales, and asked him to be more careful in the future.
Before leaving, he gave Lu Changjing a stack of earth-level talismans. The strongest one among them had reached the level of top-level earth talismans, which could kill even the highest-level earth masters by surprise.
Obviously Cai Chaoan thought that he must have used up a lot of Earth Talismans when dealing with the three blood dragon whales, so he replenished them for him.
He also repeatedly reminded him not to do too many dangerous things before breaking through to the level of Earth Lord. At least he should wait until he broke through to the level of Earth Lord before letting the Earth Lord's clone deal with various dangerous things.
He could clearly feel how good Cai Chaoan was to him, so he agreed obediently. After all, this was what Lu Changjing wanted.
Now that he has been on three lists in a row, and with the support of Cao Mei's industries and resources, and having accumulated a large number of resources and treasures before, he can finally practice with peace of mind for a while.
This practice lasted for three years.
Six years have passed since Lu Changjing left Chang'an Island. Although he has gained a lot, he still feels empty when he occasionally thinks of the love he had on Chang'an Island.
Over the past few years, except for the steady improvement on the Xiangyun List, he began to decline on the Blood Demon List and the Contribution List. After all, Lu Changjing had not been to the Blood Demon Tower in these years, nor did he make good efforts to earn the All-Things Contribution. He just asked the forces under his command to complete some ordinary tasks, and the All-Things Contribution he earned was very limited.
The 40th floor!
No. 3996!
This is Lu Changjing's current ranking on the Xiangyun List. His forty-level Xiangyun Technique has placed him in the top four thousand of the Xiangyun List. He can obtain considerable resources and treasures from the ranking every year.
This also surprised many Wanxiang Sect disciples, and some of them were puzzled about Lu Changjing's contribution to the Auspicious Cloud Technique before his reincarnation.
"It has been several years now, and Prince Lu has been steadily improving on the Auspicious Cloud Rankings, with almost no stagnation. I don't know what level of Auspicious Cloud Technique he had cultivated before his reincarnation. His stamina is too strong."
"It is said that Prince Lu lived for thousands of years in his previous life. With such a long time, his talent and understanding are not bad. He must be at least in the 60th or 70th level. It is still early now, and the reincarnated people are taking advantage."
"With the experience and lessons of the previous life, now we just need to practice step by step. It is normal for Prince Lu to improve so quickly."
"However, his rankings on the Wanxiang Contribution List and the Wanxiang Blood Demon List are not very good. They have been falling all the time. Now he has dropped to 126th on the Wanxiang Blood Demon List, a drop of 10 names. He has also dropped to 367th on the Wanxiang Contribution List, a drop of more than 50 places."
……
Even though he has fallen a lot, Lu Changjing still ranks 126th and 367th on the Wanxiang Blood Demon List and Wanxiang Contribution List.
The resources and treasures that can be obtained from it every year have not decreased much, so Lu Changjing didn't pay much attention to it. He planned to make another rapid progress after breaking through the realm of Upper Xuanzun.
However, it’s time to make a breakthrough in the Xuandan technique!
