Chapter 755: What does Elder Xuanmu think of Yiren?
"I know that Elder Xuanmu has no other urgent need except for the Nascent Soul opportunity and the Infant Transformation Pill."
"But the Infant Transformation Pill is extremely rare. Even in Penglai Island, it is difficult to obtain it."
Shen Baishuang said with emotion.
These words are not false.
Even though their Goddess Palace has a channel to obtain the Infant Transformation Pill, they still need to wait and pay a high price to obtain it.
"But in addition to the Infant Transformation Pill, I have prepared several Infant Spiritual Items and some rare resources that are hard to find in the outside world. Elder Xuanmu can take a look. Maybe there is something you need."
Shen Baishuang paused and continued, her voice neither hurried nor slow, and clear with a hint of mellowness, as if the clear spring water in the mountains and the aged wine had blended together, the lingering sound was touching.
As she spoke, her slender jade hand handed a deep blue jade slip to Lu Changsheng with elegant movements and graceful manners.
"it is good."
Lu Changsheng took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense.
It records many high-quality natural treasures.
There is no need to say much about spiritual objects like the Nascent Soul.
He even possessed a superior Nascent Soul spiritual object and an extremely rare Heart Tribulation Nascent Soul spiritual object.
You know, in previous high-end auctions, this kind of heart-tribulation type Nascent Soul spiritual objects were sold at sky-high prices.
You may know that he is a talisman master, fortune teller, and doctor, and that he possesses a fourth-level puppet that is proficient in puppetry, and there are many materials in this area.
Even Lu Changsheng felt moved when he saw it.
"Second Palace Master, I will exchange it for this [Pure Lotus of the Brahma Heart]."
After a brief thought, Lu Changsheng pointed at the Heart Tribulation Nascent Soul spirit object and said.
Although he already has the [Demon-Breaking and Evil-Suppressing Pill] and does not need this [Pure Lotus of Brahma Heart], this is the most precious of all these treasures.
Not only can it be used by wives at home, but it can also be used as a bargaining chip to trade with other monks.
"Okay~ With Elder Xuanmu's current contribution, you can choose a few more things besides this one."
Shen Baishuang was not surprised by Lu Changsheng's choice.
This [Pure Lotus of Brahma Heart] is the sincerity expressed by the Goddess Palace. Thank you.
The latter is a Jindan cultivator who urgently needs the opportunity to reach the Yuanying stage. It would be strange if he did not choose this thing.
If one does not choose this item, it means that the latter possesses a spiritual item of the heart-tribulation type, or has absolute confidence in himself and does not have any flaws in his state of mind!
Immediately, Lu Changsheng selected two rare spiritual materials that could be used by Qianzhu Yan, and handed the previous loss list to Shen Baishuang.
"no problem."
Shen Baishuang was very generous. She just glanced at the list and without checking or asking any more questions, she asked Lu Changsheng whether he wanted to exchange it for contribution points or choose a few more items from the list.
"I wonder if I can exchange it for a top-grade spirit stone?"
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment.
Although top-grade spirit stones are rare, they are not suitable for Nascent Soul-level forces like the Goddess Palace.
After all, whether it is the arrangement of formations, strategic magic weapons, warships, or puppets, they all need to be operated by spirit stones.
The best quality spirit stones are naturally the best, and every top force will have a lot of them in stock.
Otherwise, Shen Baishuang would not have directly thrown five top-grade spirit stones to him when she saw that he needed to consume top-grade spirit stones to use puppets and tried to refuse.
"I don't have many top-grade spirit stones in my Goddess Palace."
Shen Baishuang did not agree directly, but said thoughtfully: "But if Elder Xuanmu needs it, I can make the decision and exchange it for twenty pieces."
Top-grade spirit stones are strategic-level resources, and it is one thing that the Goddess Palace does not have many in reserve.
The main reason is that Shen Baishuang doesn't want Lu Changsheng to have too many top-grade spirit stones.
After all, the latter's puppet battle formation was so amazing that it was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
If the latter had ill intentions, developed ambitions, or were instigated by hostile forces, these top-grade spirit stones would become ammunition aimed at their Goddess Palace.
"Twenty?"
Lu Changsheng immediately felt that it was too little.
But thinking about the fact that he had only obtained about thirty top-grade spirit stones from Loushan Zhenjun, Zicang Zhenjun, Tiancan Zhenjun and others, he didn't say much and just bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Palace Master."
"Haha, Elder Xuanmu is too polite. I haven't thanked you for the previous battle."
Shen Baishuang's rosy red lips curled up slightly, outlining a graceful and charming arc, and gradually got to the point, asking Qian Zhuyan indirectly about the origin of the Weeping Soul Beast.
"To be honest with you, Second Palace Master, the soul in this puppet is my predecessor who is both my teacher and friend."
Lu Changsheng sighed softly and began to explain how he was able to rise step by step from a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Clan to where he is today.
When he was young, he accidentally obtained a broken puppet, inside which was a senior who taught and guided him in his cultivation.
It's just that her soul is damaged, and she is in a deep sleep most of the time, and has forgotten many of her memories. Now I hope that after she reaches the Nascent Soul stage, I can help her repair her soul and restore her past memories.
As for the Soul-Crying Beast, he himself didn't know much about it.
It was a strange creature that the puppet soul found for him in the secret realm.
This beast normally has no combat power or use, but it is born with the ability to capture souls and eat ghosts, and to restrain evil spirits and ghost cultivators, and even some evil cultivators.
"I seldom fight with others on weekdays. The country where I live is also a righteous country. I have never seen such a Yuanying-level magic cultivator. I only know that the fighting power of this beast is so amazing."
Lu Changsheng was talking nonsense with a look of emotion on his face, not revealing any details about Qian Zhuyan and the Crying Soul Beast, and only mentioned some information that Shen Baishuang could observe.
The two of them argued for a long time. Shen Baishuang knew that it was impossible to ask Lu Changsheng about his background, so she told him her true intention: "What does Elder Xuanmu think of Yiren?"
"The Second Palace Master is talking about His Highness the Third Palace Master?"
Lu Changsheng asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it's my little sister."
Shen Baishuang nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, then she elegantly picked up the tea and took a sip. Her every move seemed to reveal an innate elegance and nobility.
Lu Changsheng paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "The Third Palace Master is kind-hearted and approachable. I am new to the Goddess Palace, and I am grateful for the care of the Third Palace Master."
"Moreover, the Third Palace Master is extremely talented and beautiful. Not only is she proficient in medicine, she also has a good knowledge of talismans, elixirs, and divination. I have benefited a lot from our several contacts and exchanges."
Lu Changsheng seemed not to have heard the underlying meaning of Shen Baishuang's words, and said with emotion.
Shen Baishuang seemed a little tired. She put down the teacup in her hand, moved her high and round buttocks slightly, changed the position of her crossed legs, and the exquisite red embroidered shoes under her skirt were slightly lifted, making her look plump and attractive.
Then he looked at Lu Changsheng with burning eyes and asked, "In that case, do you have any thoughts about her, any thoughts about a man or a woman?"
"???"
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
I didn't expect the Second Palace Master to be so direct.
Although he had guessed before that if he showed amazing fighting skills, the Goddess Palace would consider bringing him together with Shen Yiren.
But I never expected that Shen Baishuang would be so straightforward.
However, thinking of the latter's somewhat reckless temperament, Lu Changsheng felt that it was very reasonable and said, "For a goddess like the Third Palace Master, it is impossible for me to say that I don't have any admiration for her."
"It's just that between men and women, it's all about fate and mutual affection. Besides, the world of immortal cultivation is ever-changing. A Jindan cultivator may seem glorious and have stepped into the threshold of a high-level cultivator, but if he fails to become a Yuanying, he will eventually become an ant. If he is not careful, he may die."
"I am just a wandering cultivator now. My main focus and energy are on the Nascent Soul stage. If I can't achieve the Nascent Soul stage, how dare I offend you, my lady?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head and sighed, then spoke with a firm look.
Although he could take this opportunity to express his admiration and love for Shen Yiren.
But based on Lu Changsheng's understanding of the three Palace Masters of the Goddess Palace, he suspected that the Second Palace Master's visit was unknown to the First and Third Palace Masters.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Shen Yiren to visit him without any inclination.
Moreover, his alias "Xuanmu Taoist" means that he is devoted to Taoism and came to Xingxiu Sea to look for a "disciple" and the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.
If he showed that he liked the Third Palace Master too much now, and was even willing to give up the chance of Nascent Soul, the other party might think that he was unscrupulous and wanted to use Shen Yiren as a springboard.
When Shen Baishuang saw Lu Changsheng openly expressing his admiration for her sister, she felt a little jealous for some reason.
My charm is even more than that of my sister.
Why doesn't he seem to be in love with me?
But thinking that she was a married woman, she immediately dispelled the thought from her mind, and said with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Since Elder Xuanmu is interested in me, then I will tell you directly."
"Many times, matters between men and women do not conflict with the Nascent Soul path. You are interested in her, and she also likes you."
"If you and Yiren become a Taoist couple, then you will be a family. When the Goddess Palace obtains the Infant Transformation Pill, we will consider you first."
"The Goddess Palace doesn't have the Infant Transformation Pill right now, but there is the [Nine-bend Spiritual Pill] which is known as the Small Infant Transformation Pill. With my sister's ability, it is not difficult for her to buy one from the Pill Alliance."
As she spoke, Shen Baishuang picked up the teacup again, took a sip, looked straight into Lu Changsheng's gentle eyes, and said slowly: "And I told Elder Xuanmu a secret, the technique that Yiren practices is beneficial for dual cultivation."
"In a few years, Yiren will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"If you and Yiren become a Taoist couple, your chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future will increase several times!"
Shen Baishuang put down the teacup and lightly revealed a secret. Her beautiful eyes tried to see shock and emotion on Lu Changsheng's face.
however.
Lu Changsheng's face darkened, and his handsome and elegant face instantly revealed a serious and resolute look. He said, "Second Palace Master, what do you think I am?"
"Although I want to achieve the Nascent Soul, I will never resort to any means to achieve the Nascent Soul, deceive other people's feelings, and use the Third Palace Master as a bargaining chip or tool to pursue a higher realm!"
“This is not my way!”
Lu Changsheng said this with a serious expression on his face, his steady voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger.
But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Second Palace Master was really not suitable for winning people over.
For things like this, it would be enough to just give a few hints. How can it be so straightforward?
For a moment I wasn't sure whether this was a test or sincerity.
What's more, the other party values my talent, potential, and various means, and wants me to become a member of the Goddess Palace completely.
But if I really agree to be with Shen Yiren, will the Second Palace Master and the First Palace Master really trust me completely?
I'm afraid he will prepare many checks and balances to control himself, right?
In that case, it would be better to be fair and square with Shen Yiren and let things take a natural course.
As for whether Shen Yiren's skills were beneficial for dual cultivation, Lu Changsheng didn't care and had no idea.
Now that he had the Infant Pill and his spiritual roots were promoted from Earthly Spiritual Roots to Heavenly Spiritual Roots, he was almost certain about obtaining the Nascent Soul.
What one seeks is nothing more than the Yuanying of Heavenly Dao, or whether one can go one step further like the Jindan of Great Dao!
"???"
Shen Baishuang was stunned.
He didn't expect that despite his good intentions, Lu Changsheng's reaction would be so intense that he directly scolded him, and he felt a bit angry.
But the other party's words made her feel a throbbing sensation deep in her heart.
"Although I want to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, I will never resort to any means and deceive others just to achieve the Nascent Soul stage."
She couldn't help but think of herself.
Although my husband is a Yuanying Zhenjun and is in charge of the Sword Casting Villa, his conditions are better than those of Lu Changsheng in front of her.
But after marrying me, he just didn't like women and only loved men.
Not only did she become a widow, but she also had to endure a lot of rumors.
Now seeing that Lu Changsheng would rather give up this shortcut and the chance to become an Infant in order not to deceive his sister, Shen Baishuang was filled with emotion.
If If
The anger in her heart gradually faded, and she said softly: "Don't be angry, Elder Xuanmu. This is not my intention. I just remembered that when you faced Si Yinhua, you stood firmly on the side of the Goddess Palace. You are a trustworthy person, and you and I have a good impression of each other, so I wanted to accomplish a good thing."
"I appreciate Second Palace Master's kindness, but when a man and a woman become Taoist partners, they will walk together on the path of Taoism in the future, supporting each other and sharing weal and woe. If they are mixed with too many utilitarian purposes, they will lose their true nature. Second Palace Master, please do not say such words."
Seeing Shen Baishuang's sincere expression, Lu Changsheng slowed down his attitude and bowed.
After saying this, worried that the Second Palace Master really thought that he was a person who was determined to follow the Tao, Lu Changsheng added: "If the Third Palace Master is interested in me, I still hope that due to fate, the two of us will fall in love and become Taoist couples under the witness of heaven and earth."
"Um"
At this moment, Shen Baishuang didn't have much to think about after hearing Lu Changsheng's words. She nodded slightly, said a few words, and then got up and left.
"Hiss, did my words hurt the Second Palace Master?"
Seeing the graceful figure of the Second Palace Master leaving, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
After all, according to rumors, the Second Palace Master and her husband, Master Yuanwei, are not in a good relationship.
What I just said about being in harmony with each other, walking the same path together, and sharing weal and woe, did it offend the Second Palace Master?
"But this is most likely the Second Palace Master's idea. The First and Third Palace Masters should not be aware of it."
Lu Changsheng was not clear about the Grand Palace Master Shen Jianjia.
But after being in contact with the Third Palace Master Shen Yiren for such a long time, I still have some understanding of her.
Soft outside and strong inside.
Although he is willing to make sacrifices for the Goddess Palace, he will not choose marriage just to win him over.
Even if he agreed and had this idea, he would try to have more contact with me instead of asking Shen Baishuang to be a lobbyist.
Shen Baishuang returned to her own bedroom, and recalled Lu Changsheng's words in her mind, which were like a sharp knife attack to her, and she felt inexplicably irritated.
It's not just emotional cheating.
She did not have the mutual affection, sharing weal and woe, and supporting each other that a Taoist partner should have.
There was only a nausea of physical and mental discomfort.
After a long time, she calmed down, recalled her conversation with Lu Changsheng, and realized something was wrong.
Although this elder Xuanmu appeared to be righteous and awe-inspiring.
But my purpose seems a little too straightforward?
Will the other party think that I am testing him, so I behave like this?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen Baishuang felt it was very likely.
"Whether his words are true or false, this Taoist Xuanmu is a darling of heaven and earth with great fortune!"
Afterwards, Shen Baishuang thought about the information she had obtained indirectly.
Although the authenticity of the words is questionable, the other party is definitely a person with great luck!
For a Jindan cultivator to break through to Yuanying, in addition to spiritual talent and foundation, he also needs the right time and place, as well as good luck!
After all, no one dares to say that they have a 100% chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
We can only increase our confidence and probability as much as possible.
So at this time, luck becomes particularly important.
It can even be considered as one of the probabilities of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Although luck is illusory, it can actually be shared.
According to the research of monks, if many people with great luck gather in one place or join a certain force, it is possible to boost the mysterious luck of this place.
This is also one of the reasons why many forces are willing to invite guest officials to serve.
In addition to being high-end combat forces and possessing a special skill, high-level cultivators often have good luck and may be able to boost the fortune of their own forces.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything.
Sometimes, some guest officials would bring great disasters to the forces.
"If this person and I can succeed, maybe it can even improve my luck a bit."
Although Shen Baishuang is confident that her sister Shen Yiren can break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
It can help boost your luck, making the process of breaking the pill and forming an infant smoother, and it can also improve the quality of the Nascent Soul!
But thinking of her younger sister's temperament and the attitude of Elder Xuanmu, she shook her head and decided to let things take their course.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
Since the fortunes of the hexagrams fluctuated unpredictably, it was not advisable to go out, so during this time, Lu Changsheng had been practicing in seclusion on Rongyue Island.
For a cultivator of his level, one year is not a short time, but it is definitely not long either.
It only consumes one tenth of the Xuanhuang essence.
That day, he suddenly felt something in his heart, walked out of the cave and looked into the distance.
I saw a vortex of spiritual energy from heaven and earth roaring above the Goddess Palace, causing spiritual energy from all directions to violently gather, roll and surge, and gradually affect Rongyue Island.
"Is this... someone trying to reach the Nascent Soul stage!?"
Lu Changsheng was shocked when he saw the commotion.
Although he had never seen a Jindan cultivator break through to the Yuanying stage, he had seen the True Spirit Tribulation and the Fourth Order Heavenly Tribulation of the Sea-Splitting Black Dragon Whale.
Not long after, a Jindan cultivator came to Rongyue Island and said that Master Jingqing was in the process of striving for the Yuanying stage, which might affect the practice here, and asked Elder Xuanmu to forgive him.
In addition, the Goddess Palace and even Penglai Island were on full alert, and no one was allowed to enter or approach.
"it is good."
Lu Changsheng expressed his understanding of this matter.
It is extremely important for the Nascent Soul to survive the tribulation, and no accidents are allowed.
When guest elders like him strive for the Nascent Soul stage in the future, the Goddess Palace will enter a blockade and alert state to prevent anyone from disturbing them.
So there is nothing wrong with this kind of thing, and everyone chooses to understand it.
Soon, Lu Changsheng was on Rongyue Island, looking at the Nascent Soul celestial phenomena of the Goddess Peak from afar, watching the process of breaking through the Nascent Soul.
