Chapter 181 Helping in Times of Need

This time, Song Wenshu stayed at Wu Qishan for half a day before he asked to leave.

As for Master Lin Ye, he had a special feeling for Wu Qishan and Xiaodanfeng.

After negotiation, he was allowed to stay in the guest room halfway up Xiaodanfeng to recuperate for a period of time, which would help him recover from his illness.

Master Lin Ye retained most of his alchemy skills and was willing to assist in alchemy and provide compensation during the recuperation period.

Previously, he had been questioned by Lihuo Palace and was a victim with a clean identity.

Lin Ye's cultivation level fell and he had little time left.

Thinking of his tragic fate and their old relationship, the peak master of Wu Qishan made this exception.

Song Wenshu brought Lin Ye here as a token of his kindness to make up for the troubles caused by the "Night Fisherman" before.

Lu Changan speculated that Song Wenshu had no hostility towards Wu Qishan and was willing to make friends with the three peak masters.

The grudges in the world of cultivation are not black and white, or unchanging.

Song Wenshu had a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo, who had been an enemy of Wu Qishan.

But Song Wenshu also had a good relationship with Wu Qishan, without any conflict of interest, and could expand his personal network.

Even if he was an elite of the sect, he would not blindly make enemies.

…

After sending Song Wenshu away, the three peak masters and Lin Ye, the alchemist, had a chat.

Lu Changan and Shi Manrong returned to the main peak.

"Xiang Jinglong became a wanted man and escaped from Liang State. Lihuo Palace did not suspect Wu Qishan. The matter of the 'Night Fisherman' has come to an end."

Lu Changan was relieved.

Xiang Jinglong took the blame again, and he did not have any psychological burden.

After all, this person bullied the weak, killed people and robbed treasures, and had a bad record. He once came to Wu Qishan to show off and eat a free meal.

Lu Changan had no direct grudges with Xiang Jinglong, and the other party was a fake Dan Zhenren. He helped him twice, so he did not want to kill him.

With the matter settled.

Lu Changan began to consider refining the anti-aging pill in the future.

He gathered all the ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill.

The only loophole was the most critical main ingredient, which came from Master Hua.

Master Hua bought this main ingredient from Xiang Jinglong, and was later targeted as a fat sheep.

"It has been so many years since this happened, and the main ingredient of the Rejuvenation Pill is not the only one. Xiang Jinglong has become a wanted man again, and it is not a big problem to escape from Liang State."

Lu Changan thought.

He took the Rejuvenation Pill to cover up the essence and truth of his youthfulness.

In this way, if he encounters a high-level cultivator in the future, it will not be easy to see the clues.

In addition to the Rejuvenation Pill, Lu Changan also has most of the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill, which is the greatest achievement of Senior Brother Zhuo's years of looting.

In comparison, the risk of refining the Crystal Condensation Pill is much greater, even if there are no grudges and loopholes.

...

A few days later.

Lin Ye came to Xiaogui Peak to visit Lu Changan.

"Are you used to returning to Wuqi Mountain, Master Lin?"

Lu Changan treated him kindly, and did not show any coldness because of Lin Ye's decline in status as a master of pills.

"I've been back to Xiaodan Peak and had a good sleep for a few days."

Lin Ye's condition has obviously improved. His dry face has a smile on it, and his expression is not as dull as before.

After talking about some past events, Lin Ye basically remembers them all, and he has no problem answering.

In terms of memory, he even preserves it more completely than Master Fairy.

This is slightly different from when they met a few days ago.

Lu Changan couldn't help but think.

"In fact, Lin's mind has basically returned to normal, especially after returning to Wuqi Mountain, his mood has become much calmer..."

Lin Ye smiled bitterly and began to reveal the truth.

It turned out that Lin Ye's dull state a few days ago was half true and half false.

He was already sober in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why don't you just pretend to the end? Why tell Lu the truth?"

Lu Changan was not surprised by this.

Master Lin Ye was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the rope for ten years.

A cultivator who has fallen in cultivation, is old, and has profound alchemy skills is indeed worth remembering.

"Daoyou Lu, in Wuqi Mountain, I can only open my heart to you. I also believe that you will not murder Lin."

Lin Ye took a deep breath and said calmly.

"What virtue and ability does Lu have to deserve such trust from Daoyou Lin."

Lu Changan smiled. It seems that his image as a "good guy" who has been indifferent to cultivation for hundreds of years and does not fight or fight has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

During the long years of cultivation, although Lu Changan occasionally took action to kill potential threats, at least he did not actively murder anyone.

Lin Ye was indeed right about this.

The two had known each other for decades in Wuqi Mountain and knew each other well.

"May I tell you a story about the inside story."

Lin Ye continued:

"After being captured alive by Xiang Jinglong, Lin was severely tortured by that fellow. When Hua Danshi died, Xiang Jinglong became a suspect, claiming that he was framed and there was an investigation into this. Hua Danshi's enemies, including me, are all suspects."

"For this matter, I did not implicate Lu Daoist. Instead, I intentionally hinted and guided him to suspect Fu Xuemei, hoping to use the hands of the Huanglongshan lineage to eliminate this thief in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Changan suddenly realized.

No wonder Xiang Jinglong joined the anti-Huanglongshan camp after he achieved the fake pill and had hatred for Fu Xuemei.

Taking advantage of the chaos to make a profit is one aspect, and revenge is also an important factor.

"Lin Daoist Yunzhong Baihe, in a desperate situation, sticks to the bottom line and does not implicate old friends. Lu admires it."

Lu Changan exclaimed.

When one's life and property are controlled by others, people's hearts are unpredictable. For ordinary people, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not drag others into the water.

Back then, after Master Hua Dan died, Lin Ye tested Lu Changan to see his reaction.

It can be seen that Lin Ye has some doubts about Lu Changan in his heart, even if the content is not high.

In the end, Xiang Jinglong did not doubt Lu Changan at all, which showed that Master Lin at least had no intention of harming Lu Changan.

"Fellow Daoist Lin told these secrets and truth, but do you need help from Mr. Lu?"

Lu Changan's thoughts changed and he asked directly.

Hearing this, Lin Ye showed a pleased expression.

If Lu Changan was cold and distant, he would not take the initiative to say such things.

…

"Lin has two wishes for the rest of his life. The first is for Xiang Jinglong to lay down his head, and the second is to return to his hometown safely and train alchemy successors for the rest of his life."

"For the former, I believe there will be a day when I see it. Xiang Jinglong will die for his unjust actions."

"In the case of the latter, my current cultivation level has declined, my belongings have been plundered by Xiang Jinglong, and I seriously lack the means to protect myself..."

Lin Ye's current situation is very embarrassing. He is completely broke and doesn't even have an ordinary magic weapon to protect his path.

Lu Changan understood Lin Ye's purpose.

Lu Changan wouldn't mind if he was gifted a few ordinary magic weapons and talismans, but Lin Ye might not feel safe.

In particular, the current world is more chaotic than before.

If Lu Changan was given a complete set of top-quality magic weapons and high-quality talismans, he would suffer too much loss and become a great philanthropist.

"How does Fellow Daoist Lin's current alchemy skills compare to those of the past?"

Lu Changan asked.

"I have been refining alchemy day and night over the years, and the conditions are difficult. My alchemy skills have been honed, and they are actually better than before, which can make up for the gap in cultivation."

Lin Ye said truthfully.

"I am willing to refining elixirs in exchange for rewards and purchase magical tools, talismans and other items to protect the Tao from Daoist Lu."

"Does Fellow Daoist Lu need the level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building? Lin is confident of refining this elixir, and the success rate is definitely higher than that of Ye Fei."

When it came to alchemy, Lin Ye regained some of his previous confidence.

He believed that Lu Changan had stayed in the middle stage of foundation building for many years and would definitely be interested in the level-breaking elixir.

"Well, if we gather the materials, Alchemist Lao Lin will take action."

Lu Changan smiled and accepted the matter.

The level-breaking elixir in the later stage of foundation building can be plotted openly, and it can be used as a cover after breaking through in the future.

If Master Lin has a good elixir-making rate, he can collect the materials himself and make a fortune after refining the elixir.

"Lu still needs pills to enhance his magic power. It doesn't matter if the side effects are slightly greater..."

Lu Changan also mentioned other pills.

The three Blood Yang Pills previously obtained from Master Hua, which can greatly enhance the magic power of the foundation-building monks, have been taken.

The side effects of Xueyang Pill are relatively minor.

Certain elixirs will overdraw and consume lifespan, and the increase in mana will be even more terrifying.

Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and as long as it is not used frequently, the price is relatively affordable.

If used at critical moments, it is an excellent means of protecting the road.

"I am good at this kind of elixir!" Master Lin agreed.

"By the way, does Master Lin know how to refine the Beauty Pill?"

Lu Changan finally seemed to remember something and asked again.

"Zhu Yan Dan? The difficulty of refining is not high among second-level elixirs. Although I have only refined it twice before, I can guarantee the success rate of the elixir."

Lin Ye had a trace of surprise on his face and didn't ask any more questions.

The value of the Beauty Pill is not as high as the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it is not a Crystal Condensation Pill.

For a second-level high-grade alchemist, it was nothing.

"Okay, I'll trouble Alchemist Lin with these three pills."

After another moment of discussion, Lu Changan and Alchemist Lin Ye reached a preliminary agreement.

Not only that, Master Lin also promised that when refining the alchemy, Lu Changan could watch and answer the latter's doubts.

Lu Changan sighed with emotion. The alchemist who was once aloof and needed to be fawned over, now relies on others and has become considerate.

In addition to the transaction itself, Lin Ye also wanted to make good friends with Lu Changan and receive certain care in the future.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I used to make alchemy for others, and it's my duty to keep my employer's secrets secret."

Alchemist Lin exchanged a few pleasantries, then said goodbye and left.

In fact, even if the matter about Zhuyan Dan is leaked out a little, there will be no problem, and it may even be beneficial.

Today is different from the past.

Lu Changan's current strength and identity are enough to protect "hot potatoes" such as foundation-building pills and level-breaking pills.

…

Lin Ye returned to Xiao Danfeng's guest room and fell into deep thought.

Back then, after Master Hua's death, he had some doubts about Lu Changan, but not much.

After testing, my doubts were basically dispelled.

A few days ago, he learned about the situation outside.

Fu Xuemei from Huanglong Mountain almost failed to form an elixir. The quality of the pill formation is far from the expectations of the Huanglong Mountain lineage, and may be lost to the public during the pill formation period.

"I heard from Ye Fei that Xiang Jinglong came to Wuqi Mountain to fight the autumn wind a few years ago."

"Master Hua Dan, Fu Xuemei, Xiang Jinglong...none of them met a good end."

Lin Ye had an idea in his mind and couldn't help but shudder.

Reason told him that he was probably thinking too much. Intuition gave him the illusion that he was close to the truth.

If it weren't for coincidence, what he learned about Lu Changan would probably be just the tip of the iceberg.

Lin Ye quickly shook his head: No matter what the possibility is, just make the elixir yourself and don't ask any questions.

At least Lu Changan was not an enemy. He had faced a common enemy with him.

In the world of immortality opened in troubled times, there are not many monks who can provide help in times of need.
