I Shall Be Everlasting In the World of Immortals 263

## Chapter 260: Second Life, Dan Formation

Yun Yan Immortal City was a water-based city, jointly controlled by numerous trading houses of the Merchant Alliance.

Beneath the city’s surface, a mid-sized third-order lower-grade spirit vein lay within a lake, with many first- and second-order spirit vein branches.

In the vast city, only twenty-odd third-order spirit vein cave mansions were truly open to the outside world.

Located in the city center was Phoenix Forest Mountain.

The third-order cave mansions on Phoenix Forest Mountain were generally used by Dan Formation cultivators or those in the late Foundation Establishment stage to breakthrough their cultivation.

Half a month later, in the sky above Phoenix Forest Mountain.

Wind swirled and gathered, heaven and earth spirit energy surged and vibrated, and the spirit energy within dozens of miles was drawn by an invisible force.

“Impacting Dan Formation!”

The celestial phenomena in the sky above Phoenix Forest Mountain attracted the attention of numerous cultivators in the city.

However, ordinary cultivators were unable to enter that area of Phoenix Forest Mountain, and could only observe from a distance.

Several days later, a funnel-shaped cloud of spirit energy vaguely appeared in the sky.

Phoenix Forest Mountain Cave Mansion Area.

A female cultivator with silver hair, a snow-white robe, skin like congealed fat, and an icy and beautiful aura stood on the viewing platform.

Her icy eyes focused on the nearby cave mansion.

“Han Yu Xianzi, your trading house’s Gao Cheng Daoist has been solidifying his foundation at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment for ten years. This Dan Formation attempt should have no major problems.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, wearing a crane-feather robe, flew to the viewing platform, smiling as he approached Han Yu Zhenren.

“Old man calculated: this month is an auspicious day, suitable for comprehension and breakthrough. Therefore, I specially arranged to adjust these two months for Daoist Gao Cheng.”

“Thank you, City Lord Gong Yang.”

Han Yu Zhenren’s voice was cold, her demeanor reserved, maintaining a certain distance from the Deputy City Lord standing next to her.

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, didn’t mind. Han Yu Zhenren was the president of the Snow Fox Trading House, a notorious ice beauty.

Generally, male cultivators who could converse with her were considered to have gained her recognition.

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, wanted to befriend the Snow Fox Trading House, and inevitably had some fantasies about Han Yu Zhenren.

Several days later.

The cloud of spirit energy above the cave mansion expanded to the size of a li (about 500 meters), shaking slightly and stabilizing.

“Congratulations, Han Yu Xianzi, Gao Cheng Daoist’s attainment of False Dan is not difficult! Next, we’ll see if he can impact True Dan.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, smiled.

Han Yu Zhenren gave a faint hum, and a trace of worry faintly appeared in the depths of her clear eyes.

Gao Cheng was the leading figure of the Snow Fox Trading House’s generation, and also a junior of Han Yu Zhenren’s lineage.

For his Dan Formation, the family had prepared a complete Dan Formation opportunity.

If he couldn’t achieve True Dan and didn’t meet Han Yu Zhenren’s expectations, it would be a great loss.

The Snow Fox Trading House’s True Dan ancestor was already past his prime, aging year by year, and only had a dozen years left before reaching the upper limit of his lifespan.

Due to the decline of the True Dan ancestor, the Snow Fox Trading House had been in a difficult position in recent years.

On the contrary, the rival Beast Trading House had increasingly better business and industry, completely suppressing the Snow Fox Trading House.

The “Huang Lang Zhenren” of the Beast Trading House was adept at manipulating people’s hearts and had even recruited a True Dan-level retainer.

“That scoundrel suddenly cut off contact and disappeared without a trace… Truly hateful!”

Han Yu Zhenren thought of something and gritted her silver teeth.

Originally, she had used her charm to attract “Xiang Zhenren,” a powerful individual with a strong background, outstanding abilities, and a third-order True Dan Great Demon.

In the past, Xiang Zhenren was relatively trustworthy, making life easier for the Snow Fox Trading House.

However, he disappeared a few years ago, and when the Snow Fox Trading House encountered trouble, Han Yu Zhenren couldn’t find him, so she secretly sent people to contact the “Xiang Jinglong” of the Xuan Yin Demon Cult.

Xiang Jinglong received Han Yu Zhenren’s message of inquiry and was bewildered.

“When did this one cheat on someone’s feelings and break a promise?”

After learning the truth, Xiang Jinglong was furious, even going so far as to kidnap cultivators from the Snow Fox Trading House, trying to find out the truth.

From the death of the former Hua Dan Shi, being wrongly accused and hunted by the Li Huo Palace, he hated being made a scapegoat for others.

Soon after.

The “Huang Lang Zhenren” of the Beast Trading House had business dealings with the Demon Cult and met the real Xiang Zhenren.

“When did this one kill the Beast Trading House’s Hu Xiao Zhenren?”

At that time, after a brief moment of confusion, Xiang Jinglong was consumed by anger.

Huang Lang Zhenren realized that the “Xiang Zhenren” back then wasn’t the real one.

He immediately instigated Xiang Jinglong to go after the Snow Fox Trading House. After all, Han Yu Zhenren had been involved with the fake Xiang Zhenren.

…

“Now the Demon Cult can openly walk in the world of cultivation. Fueled by that Huang Lang Zhenren, Xiang Jinglong will come after me sooner or later.”

Han Yu Zhenren’s current situation could be described as filled with both near and far anxieties.

In the past, Xiang Jinglong couldn’t directly confront the Snow Fox Trading House, but now that the Xuan Yin Demon Cult had become a recognized legal sect in surrounding cultivation kingdoms, the Snow Fox Trading House desperately needed to produce a True Dan cultivator.

However, fate had other plans.

They watched for several more days.

The cloud of spirit energy in the sky, after expanding to the size of a li, only shook occasionally, without any significant signs of expansion.

Those with discerning eyes could see that the Dan Formation aura wasn’t enough to achieve True Dan.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this time, two streaks of遁光 (Dun Guang, escape light) flew to the cave mansion area of Phoenix Forest Mountain.

One of them was a False Dan cultivator, attracting the attention of Han Yu Zhenren and Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord.

“Han Yu Xianzi, City Lord Gong Yang is also here?”

Xia Hong Yu, accompanied by Lu Chang An, flew over, smiling and greeting the two cultivators.

As an established False Dan cultivator, Xia Hong Yu naturally knew Han Yu Zhenren of the Snow Fox Trading House and had interacted with her before.

“Xia Zhenren.”

Han Yu Zhenren returned the salute, her gaze falling on the calm and serene, handsome and ethereal white-clad man beside Xia Hong Yu.

“This is Lu Chang An, a retainer of my Xia family.”

Xia Hong Yu briefly introduced him.

Lu Chang An bowed his head in due time, respectfully saluting with a cupped fist.

Encountering Han Yu Zhenren here, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“It’s Daoist Lu.”

Han Yu Zhenren nodded politely, her expression cold and aloof.

She knew a little about this Lu Chang An.

The Snow Fox Trading House had taken their Dan Formation time, and Han Yu Zhenren needed to understand his background at least.

If he had a significant background, Han Yu Zhenren would definitely stop Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, from acting on his own.

After confirming Lu Chang An’s background in the Qing Sha Wan Xia family, Han Yu Zhenren tacitly agreed.

Compared to a large trading house like the Snow Fox Trading House, the Five Blessings Trading House was much weaker.

Xiang Jinglong could come looking for trouble at any time, and the Snow Fox Trading House urgently needed to produce a True Dan successor.

Even if it was just two months earlier, it would be beneficial to the trading house.

…

Lu Chang An didn’t mind Han Yu Zhenren’s coldness.

He knew she was the kind of pragmatic, ambitious ice beauty.

Lu Chang An’s current status and position, even with his outstanding appearance and temperament, wouldn’t catch Han Yu Zhenren’s eye.

For ordinary False Dan cultivators, Han Yu Zhenren, as the president of the Snow Fox Trading House, was unattainable.

At this time, the cultivator of the Snow Fox Trading House was still in the midst of their Dan Formation attempt.

Lu Chang An didn’t enter the cave mansion for now.

He waited in line on the viewing platform with Xia, the family head.

After the Snow Fox Trading House’s person finished forming their Dan, he would enter the cave mansion to form his Dan as soon as possible.

If he went in too early, if the Snow Fox Trading House’s cultivator failed their Dan Formation or their Dan wasn’t ideal, it could potentially lead to resentment.

After all, two cultivators forming their Dan together in the same place would definitely have an impact.

After waiting for two more days.

The Gao Cheng of the Snow Fox Trading House was nearing the end of his Dan Formation.

Whoosh!

The vortex of cloud energy in the sky trembled slightly. The surrounding gathered heaven and earth spirit energy receded like a returning tide.

A Dan force aura emerged from that cave mansion.

“Congratulations, Han Yu Zhenren, your trading house has produced a cultivator!”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, and Xia Hong Yu offered congratulations.

“A Grey Dan formed, don’t be complacent.”

Han Yu Zhenren’s tone was cold, and a hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes.

Gao Cheng, with an Upper-grade spirit root, had complete Dan Formation resources, and the trading house placed high hopes on him.

Logically, he should have had at least a 50% chance of achieving True Dan.

Unfortunately, he had only formed a False Dan.

For late Foundation Establishment cultivators, with decent aptitude and foundation, and a relatively young age, achieving False Dan was not too difficult as long as they had sufficient resources.

The real challenge was True Dan.

In some cultivation realms, False Dan was not even considered a Dan Formation cultivator, merely a half-step Dan Formation cultivator.

The difference in strength between True Dan and False Dan was secondary.

The former could continue cultivating, with the path to immortality in sight.

False Dan cultivators’ cultivation would be limited to the initial stage of Dan Formation, and their 法力 (Fa Li, spiritual power) would be less than half that of a True Dan cultivator at the initial stage.

As for the transformation to 化丹 (Hua Dan, Transformation Dan)?

Unless it was a large Nascent Soul-level force, or a second-generation with a strong background, they could possibly enjoy such a treatment.

…

“City Lord Gong Yang, can I enter the cave mansion to form my Dan now?”

Lu Chang An asked.

At this moment, the Gao Cheng of the Snow Fox Trading House had finished his Dan Formation.

The reason he hadn’t come out was because he had just broken through and needed to consolidate his境界 (Jing Jie, realm).

“You can.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, glanced at him and nodded.

The Dan Formation was over, and consolidating the realm was like daily cultivation, not requiring a large amount of heaven and earth spirit energy.

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, had no grudge against Lu Chang An, so he didn’t need to make things difficult, and dealt with the matter officially.

Under the gaze of Han Yu Zhenren, Xia Hong Yu, and the Deputy City Lord, Lu Chang An took out a token, found a nearby cave mansion, broke the restriction, and entered.

“This person is over one hundred and seventy years old, even if he’s impacting False Dan, the hope isn’t very high.”

Han Yu Zhenren withdrew her gaze, feeling slightly better.

Not only her, but even Xia Hong Yu didn’t hold out much hope.

Xia, the family head, went to the entrance of Lu Chang An’s cave mansion, sat down with his legs crossed, and protected him.

A cultivator forming their Dan at such an advanced age, preparations for rescue had to be made.

Just two days later.

The heaven and earth spirit energy above Phoenix Forest Mountain once again gathered like a tide, forming a funnel shape and swirling above Lu Chang An’s cave mansion.

“So fast?”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, and Han Yu Zhenren couldn’t help but look surprised.

Ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivators, forming their Dan in a third-order spirit vein cave mansion, usually needed some time to prepare.

They would sit in meditation, eliminate distracting thoughts, and even bathe and burn incense, adjusting their state to the best.

For example, Gao Cheng, who had just finished forming his Dan, had been preparing in the cave mansion for half a month before officially starting to form his Dan.

This was considered a normal amount of time.

Some cultivators, seeking the best state, might even prepare for a month or two.

“Alas, Daoist Lu is inexperienced and has gotten a little anxious.”

Xia Hong Yu sighed inwardly. It was too late to stop him now, and it would only disrupt his rhythm.

Half a day later.

Above the cave mansion, a gentle funnel-shaped vortex of cloud energy appeared, radiating a vibrant green light.

“Eh?”

The several cultivators present all looked at each other with unusual expressions.

“This person has a solid foundation, a calm mind, and the Dan Formation steps are orderly.”

Han Yu Zhenren and Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, looked at each other, seeing the signs.

“Some cultivators who have reached great mastery in cultivation techniques do have this advantage. It mainly depends on the momentum later.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, regained his composure.

Managing the city’s spirit veins and cultivation grounds, he had witnessed many cultivators impacting Dan Formation, with all kinds of phenomena.

Sometimes, the Dan Formation cultivator’s initial signs were impressive, making it seem like they would achieve Golden Dan; but then they would falter later, ending up with a mediocre Dan.

Several more days passed.

The vortex of cloud energy in the sky spread steadily, gradually approaching a radius of one li.

“Could this be a sign of forming False Dan?”

Not only Han Yu Zhenren, but even Xia, the family head who was protecting him, looked surprised.

At this point, Lu Chang An’s Dan Formation aura wasn’t much different from Gao Cheng’s earlier attempt, and it was even more stable, with signs of continuing expansion.

“I misjudged him.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, thought to himself. He thought Lu Chang An would find it extremely difficult to even achieve False Dan.

Unexpectedly, this person had a solid foundation, a transcendent mind, and achieved the aura of False Dan formation effortlessly.

…

Inside the third-order cave mansion.

Lu Chang An sat with his legs crossed, and the spiritual energy lake within his body surged with astonishing fluctuations of 法力 (Fa Li, spiritual power).

A green aura surrounded him, and the radiating spiritual pressure was comparable to that of a False Dan cultivator.

Inside the cave mansion, the air would occasionally solidify, and then a fierce gust of wind would roar, causing waves of light to ripple on the surrounding restrictions.

Fortunately, this place’s cave mansion was reinforced with third-order formations.

Even if the Dan Formation process resulted in a burst and death, it wouldn’t affect the outside world.

“Second Life Dan Formation, compared to the previous life, my state of mind is completely different.”

Lu Chang An’s current state was very relaxed.

Even without any external aids, such as 凝晶丹 (Ning Jing Dan, Crystallization Pill), Dan Formation spiritual materials, etc., he was still steady during the first half of the Dan Formation process.

“The crucial step, liquid to crystal!”

In the center of the 法力 (Fa Li, spiritual power) lake, as if drawn by an invisible magnetic force, the surrounding spiritual power was constantly compressed towards the center.

Lu Chang An’s eyes shone like lightning, controlling a large amount of liquid spiritual power with a slightly stronger consciousness than an ordinary False Dan cultivator, causing it to rotate and compress towards the center of the spiritual energy lake.

In the center of the spiritual energy lake, tiny crystal particles gradually appeared like sand.

The Dan Formation process requires the transformation of liquid spiritual power into solid Dan essence.

This step has far higher requirements for the quality of the spiritual power, the external spiritual pressure, and the cultivator’s consciousness, compared to Foundation Establishment.

At the same time.

The chaotic heaven and earth spirit energy from outside, guided by the Dan Formation method, entered Lu Chang An’s body, converted by his Wood spirit root and cultivation technique, constantly flooding into the spiritual energy lake.

There was a significant difference in spiritual pressure between the external heaven and earth spirit energy and Lu Chang An’s internal environment.

Spirit root aptitude, spiritual power purity, and 凝晶丹 (Ning Jing Dan, Crystallization Pill) all affect the conversion efficiency under the pressure difference.

A strong consciousness reduces the risk of errors.

The spiritual energy lake collapsed further, with more and more crystal particles appearing in the center.

These crystal particles clumped together, continuously rotating and absorbing the vast heaven and earth spirit energy for transformation.

Hmm~

After an unknown amount of time, a round solid Dan essence slowly formed during the rotation.

Vaguely, it took on the shape of an inner Dan, with constantly compressing and merging liquid spiritual power around it.

The surging influx of heaven and earth spirit energy further collapsed and compressed the inner Dan embryo, as if polishing and tempering an iron ball.

Whew!

Sensing the stable formation of the inner Dan embryo, Lu Chang An let out a long sigh of relief.

This was the most dangerous step of the Dan Formation process!

Under the strong external spiritual pressure and the influx of heaven and earth spirit energy, the compression and collapse of the spiritual energy lake, any slight mistake would lead to a backlash that would either result in death or injury.

Spiritual power, consciousness, aptitude, spiritual pressure, state of mind… all these factors would affect the success or failure.

Some Dan Formation cultivators, even if they managed to form an inner Dan embryo, would either lack foundation or momentum and cause it to collapse.

Or, even if they stabilized the inner Dan embryo, if the quality of the Dan formed wasn’t high enough, they would form a Grey Dan.

“I underestimated the foundation of my spiritual power in this life, the inner Dan embryo hasn’t even solidified into a Dan, and its Dan force aura is already close to the lower-level True Dan.”

The Dan Formation process was two-thirds complete, and Lu Chang An’s expression changed.

“It seems that collecting Longevity Pills and enhancing the Longevity spiritual power over the years has yielded good results.”

You must know, his Wood spirit root was equivalent to a Lower-grade, and he didn’t use any Dan Formation external aids, relying solely on his spiritual power foundation to forcibly form his Dan.

…

Outside the cave mansion.

The several cultivators observing the Dan Formation widened their eyes, their expressions a mix of astonishment and disbelief.

Originally, Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chang An’s Dan Formation aura continued to steadily rise.

Unbeknownst to them, the vortex of cloud energy in the sky had expanded from its original size of a li to a radius of two li.

“This kind of aura, could it be that Yun Yan Immortal City will be producing a True Dan cultivator?”

The commotion of the Dan Formation attracted many cultivators nearby, including those in the late Foundation Establishment stage and those who had already formed their Dan.

More cultivators came to observe the Dan Formation on Phoenix Forest Mountain.

Some forces within the city received news and sent representatives to wait there.

If they could achieve True Dan, the various forces in Yun Yan Immortal City would all want to befriend them and try to win them over.

“Could that Lu Chang An really be forming True Dan?”

Han Yu Zhenren’s icy, snow-like face flushed red, a great sense of disparity in her heart.

Her own cultivator, on whom she had placed her hopes, had only become a False Dan.

This aging Foundation Establishment cultivator Lu Chang An, who she had previously looked down upon and who had taken their auspicious day for Dan Formation, was actually showing signs of achieving True Dan.

At this moment, his Dan Formation aura had clearly stepped over the threshold of True Dan, and was very stable.

In front of the cave mansion, Xia, the family head, opened his mouth and pinched the flesh of his palm.

He looked around and then at himself, his expression confused.

Suddenly.

Two streaks of遁光 (Dun Guang, escape light) flew from a distance, one of them even emitting the aura of a True Dan cultivator.

The cultivators observing the Dan Formation in the area consciously stepped aside.

“Eh! Seems like it’s Old Huang of the Beast Trading House?”

The few cultivators recognized the identity of the newcomers.

“Huang Lang Zhenren? The Beast Trading House is quite far from here, why did he come to Yun Yan Immortal City?”

The leading True Dan cultivator was a middle-aged man with yellow skin, wearing a leather coat and cloak.

His skin was yellow like a grapefruit, and his round, deep eyes shone with intelligence.

“Haha! Han Yu Zhenren! This one finally found you…”

A rough voice came from beside Huang Lang Zhenren.

This was a strong man with tanned skin, wearing a wide-sleeved robe, and a muscular build.

“Xiang Jinglong!”

Han Yu Zhenren’s beautiful face changed color, her heart sinking.

Now that the Demon Cult had been legalized, Xiang Jinglong, a high-ranking figure in the Demon Cult, had come to her door uninvited.

Xiang Jinglong was even accompanied by Huang Lang Zhenren, so he was definitely not here with good intentions!

“Han Yu Zhenren, you smeared this one’s reputation and conspired with the mysterious person who framed me. Today, you must give this one an explanation.”

Xiang Jinglong approached Han Yu Zhenren with a swagger, a sinister smile lurking on his face.

“He, he’s Xiang Jinglong? A high-level enforcer of the Demon Cult?”

The surrounding cultivators, upon hearing this, changed their expressions and quickly stepped back.

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, moved his lips. Thinking about the Demon Cult’s terrifying strength and ruthless methods, he didn’t dare to step forward to stop them.

Liang Shao Tian, the patriarch of the Demon Cult, had the reputation of being the first cultivator of Jing Kingdom.

“Xiang Zhenren, it was a misunderstanding! Listen to this one’s explanation…”

Han Yu Zhenren’s face turned pale, and she retreated.

“Come back to our Holy Cult with this one to be interrogated. Your innocence or guilt will be revealed.”

Xiang Jinglong had come today to seize crucial clues and find the culprit who had framed him.

“Xiang Zhenren! Your Holy Cult has just been recognized by the surrounding sects, and you’re already trampling on the rules of the Merchant Alliance?”

Han Yu Zhenren rebuked loudly.

Xiang Jinglong paused, remembering the orders from his patriarch after establishing the sect.

From now on, they should behave more restrained when traveling in the world of cultivation, at least in the open they should abide by the rules.

They would need to correct their bandit and evil cultivator mindset.

Xiang Jinglong had yet to adapt to the change in roles and thinking in the short term.

While Xiang Jinglong was stunned,

Han Yu Zhenren turned into a cold shadow and entered the cave mansion where Gao Cheng had previously formed his Dan, where he was currently consolidating his realm.

Once inside the cave mansion, the two False Dan cultivators combined their efforts, protected by the formation restrictions.

“Hmph! This one will see how long you can hide.”

Xiang Jinglong’s face darkened.

Attacking a cave mansion in the city? He wasn’t that crazy or foolish.

“Xiang Zhenren, don’t be anxious. You can catch the monk but you can’t catch the temple.”

Huang Lang Zhenren, dressed in a leather coat and cloak, smiled.

“Hmm? Who’s forming their Dan here?”

Xiang Zhenren’s gaze landed on the Dan Formation aura in the sky, a hint of envy in his eyes.

“Replying to Xiang Zhenren, that person’s name is Lu Chang An, he’s a retainer of the Five Blessings Trading House’s Xia family. It’s quite a coincidence, he’s also from Liang Kingdom, just like you.”

Gong Yang, the Deputy City Lord, flattered Xiang Jinglong with a smile, taking the initiative to explain.

“Lu Chang An? What! You mean Lu Chang An?”

Xiang Jinglong was stunned, showing an expression of disbelief.

Lu Chang An, of course, Xiang Jinglong knew him.

Many years ago, the two had made a deal outside the Qing Ming Secret Realm.

After Hua Dan Shi’s death, he was inexplicably made the suspect, and Xiang Jinglong had collected information about Lu Chang An during his investigation.

Later, during the Huang Lang incident, Xiang Jinglong was injured in a fight, and went to Wu Qi Shan to mooch and eat like a freeloader.

…

“What’s going on, Xiang Zhenren, do you know the person forming their Dan? Looking at the Dan Formation aura, it seems likely that they’ll achieve True Dan.”

Huang Lang Zhenren expressed interest.

“Hmm, this one knew him in Liang Kingdom.”

After questioning, Xiang Jinglong confirmed that the person currently forming their Dan was indeed Lu Chang An, whom he had interacted with in Liang Kingdom.

After confirming this fact,

He was shocked and bewildered, but also felt a surge of jealousy and resentment.

Back then, that old turtle符师 (Fu Shi, talisman master) who had stepped into Foundation Establishment at an advanced age, had actually become a True Dan cultivator after a hundred years?

Why!

He had worked hard, fought for resources, and only managed to become a False Dan.

Moreover, he had been plagued by bad luck for a hundred years, constantly made a scapegoat, framed, and forced to flee his homeland.

Even after escaping to Liang Kingdom, his bad luck hadn’t changed.

Xiang Jinglong couldn’t help but wonder if this person had stolen his destiny?

Because ever since they met in the Qing Ming Secret Realm, he had been constantly blamed and made a scapegoat, while the other party had been sailing smoothly, steadily progressing.

“Huang Lang Zhenren, the ‘Xiang Zhenren’ you encountered back then, are you sure he was a False Dan cultivator?”

Xiang Jinglong thought of something and couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, he was a False Dan cultivator! Moreover, his strength far surpassed those at the same stage, otherwise how could Hu Xiao Zhenren have been killed without any resistance.”

Huang Lang Zhenren thought of Hu Xiao Zhenren’s death and was also disgusted by that mysterious person.

“Hmm, this one understands.

A fleeting thought in Xiang Jinglong’s mind vanished, he had been overthinking.

According to the description, the “Xiang Zhenren” who killed people back then was no less powerful than him.

Lu Chang An was now forming his Dan at the late Foundation Establishment stage, everything made sense.

Whether in Liang Kingdom or Jing Kingdom, Lu Chang An had always been a good person, someone who shied away from conflict and was afraid of death.

Xiang Jinglong understood the turtle符师’s (Fu Shi, talisman master) cowardice better than other cultivators in Jing Kingdom.

If he was secretly very cunning, and had such ability, then when I was seriously injured and went to Wu Qi Shan to mooch, he wouldn’t have attacked me.

As for stealing destiny, Xiang Jinglong knew it was wishful thinking on his part.

He wasn’t worthy!

He had already seen the real person of destiny, it was his own patriarch.

…

Half a day later.

The vortex of spirit energy in the sky suddenly condensed, and then, as the tide of heaven and earth spirit energy flowed back, it dissipated steadily.

Above Lu Chang An’s cave mansion, a glimmering light surrounded the area, with faint sounds of celestial music.

Whew!

A powerful, round Dan force aura emerged from within the third-order cave mansion.

The invisible spiritual pressure made the Foundation Establishment cultivators and False Dan cultivators present feel a sense of oppression.

“This Dan force aura is thick and round, it should be a confirmed True Dan!”

Huang Lang Zhenren felt it, and said thoughtfully.

The cultivators observing outside the cave mansion were astonished and amazed.

…

At the same time, inside the cave mansion.

Lu Chang An closed his eyes, circulating the cyan Dan force in his body, feeling the leap in his consciousness, spiritual power, and life level.

“Whew!”

“Good thing! It’s just a lower-level True Dan…”

Don’t say I’m watering down the story, in the realm of mortal cultivation on the starting point, it’s considered conscientious to be able to form a Dan in one chapter.

The traditional way of writing would be Dan Formation (Upper), Dan Formation (Middle), Dan Formation (Lower), Dan Formation (Even Lower)…
