Who would have thought that Li Ergou, who was so high-spirited a few days ago, would be extremely happy and sad today.
Lu Changan lamented the impermanence of things in the world.
When you are in the beautiful scenery, you must not drift away.
Lu Changan said: "You don't have to be so pessimistic."
"Brother Lu, I know my level of fighting skills. If I go to the frontline mining area, life or death is uncertain."
Li Ergou looked bitter.
He had no confidence that he would come back alive, so he asked his most trusted person, Lu Changan, to entrust him with his will.
"Actually, you have an advantage."
"What advantages?" Li Ergou was stunned.
"You are very self-aware and know how much you weigh."
Li Ergou is a man who has no courage but is weak in fighting skills and has no actual combat skills.
"Brother Lu, how long has it been since then, and you still want to ignore me?"
"This is not necessarily a bad thing for saving your life."
"Monks are afraid of being too confident, thinking they are superior to their peers, and not taking ordinary monks seriously. I don't know how many talented monks have taken it lightly and capsized in the gutter."
Lu Changan sighed, took out two talismans from his storage bag and handed them to Li Ergou.
"These are the healing talisman and the wind speed talisman. Big brother can only help you so far."
After all, we have known each other for eight years.
Maybe, this is the last time I see Li Ergou.
Lu Changan was not too stingy, the two talismans he gave were both of the same level.
Nowadays, he is also considered a senior first-level talisman master in the Mu family, and occasionally refines mid-grade talismans.
"Thank you, brother."
After Li Ergou took the talisman, he looked at Lu Changan eagerly.
"Okay, I promise you."
Lu Changan sighed, "If it comes to that, I will do my best to take care of your wife and daughter."
Only then did Li Ergou smile out of his sorrow, and a heavy stone fell to his heart.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Lu, shouldn't I change my name?"
Before changing the name.
Li Ergou is going smoothly, but I don't know how moist he is.
As a result, after changing his name to "Li Changqing", he had one foot in the abyss.
"Fate, luck, are both mysterious and mysterious, who can tell clearly?"
Lu Changan shook his head, unable to answer.
After all, his previous life was only in the elixir formation stage and could not be called a great power.
In the world of immortality, there are too many things that he cannot understand.
…
The next day, Li Ergou left Feiyue Villa and followed the young monks of his family to the copper mining area.
Lu Changan watched his back.
Thought for a long time.
Looking towards the center of Feiyue Lake, we can vaguely see the outline of "Yuexin Island".
There is the dojo where the Mu family’s foundation-building ancestor always resides.
Lu Changan's soul is extraordinary, and he can also be blessed by the soul imprint lit up in the first life in the [Nine-Seal Monument], and his spiritual consciousness can be raised to a higher level.
He sensed that the ancestor of the Mu family was still there, but his aura was getting weaker and weaker.
Back then in Jinyun Valley, Lin Yi inquired about the gossip and said that the ancestor of the Mu family could not live more than ten years.
According to Lu Changan's remote sensing, it's pretty much the same, with about three to five years left.
This judgment is not entirely based on soul perception, but also on the keen capture of time and the breath of longevity through the "Evergreen Ancient Wood Technique".
Lu Changan's bottom line is that as long as the foundation-building ancestor can hold his own, he will stay on the sidelines and not be in a hurry to run away.
"However, in three to five years, if the Mu family does not have a new foundation-building period, it will definitely not be able to protect the second-level spiritual veins. By then..."
Lu Changan withdrew his gaze and silently planned several plans in his mind.
…
Two months later.
There was no news about Li Ergou from the frontline mining area.
Because the mining area is far away, as a foreigner, Lu Changan has relatively little information.
However, from time to time the wounded returned, and the younger Mu family monks went to the front line.
The tense situation eventually affected Lu Changan.
"Go to the medicine garden to garrison?"
On this day, when Lu Changan handed over a batch of talismans, he received arrangements from the top management of the Mu family.
Lu Changan's cultivation level is less than the middle stage of Qi Refining. As a Talisman Master, his family will not let him go to the front line unless it is absolutely necessary.
But in addition to the front line of the mining area, the Mu family also has some assets to protect.
For example, medicinal gardens, spiritual fields, water resources, etc.
The Mu family has a medicine garden in a valley two hundred miles away from Feiyue Villa.
Since it is close to the family's residence, it is relatively safe to stay in the medicine garden.
"The medicine garden is located on a spiritual land with a spirit gathering array. You can also practice there, make talismans, and help the family guard the medicine garden."
The family manager who took Lu Changan to the medicine garden explained this.
Lu Changan had no reason to refuse.
Li Ergou has gone to the front line, and it makes sense to do the logistics in the medicine garden by himself.
Because the distance is not far.
Lu Changan drove the black gold sword and flew directly to the medicine garden.
Also accompanying him were two or three young men from the Mu family, who were at about the second level of Qi Refining.
The valley where the medicinal garden is located has a natural formation that gathers the essence of the sun and moon, making it suitable for growing medicinal materials.
The entire medicine garden covers an area of several thousand acres and is protected by a first-order formation.
In addition to the divided planting areas, there is a group of houses in the medicinal garden, built in front of the stream, similar to a small village.
Entering the medicine garden, everyone is assigned a separate wooden house.
The conditions are definitely not as good as Feiyue Villa.
"Lu Changan."
When he heard someone calling him, Lu Changan looked sideways.
It was a young man with a familiar face and a broken arm, with many bandages on his body.
"Mu Yunfei?"
Lu Changan recalled briefly and recognized the identity of the handsome young man with a broken arm.
Eight years ago, Mu Yunfei escorted these immortal seedlings home and distributed spiritual stones to them on the way.
The two of them have fought side by side.
Back then, Lu Changan used his first level of Qi training to kill a Zheng family monk who was on the third level of Qi training, and was praised by Mu Yunfei.
"Brother Yunfei, is your arm in the frontline mining area..."
Lu Changan was slightly surprised.
"Well, my injury will take a year to recuperate. The head of the family asked me to take care of the medicine garden. After all, this is an important place for the family, and the elders who guarded it before went to the front line."
Mu Yunfei's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
He is no longer the rookie in the family eight years ago.
Mu Yunfei is two years older than Lu Changan. He is at the peak of the sixth level of Qi training and is considered the strongest in the clan.
Lu Changan thought to himself: "Even the injured are working while sick. It seems that the Mu family is really short of manpower."
…
A few days later, Lu Changan adapted to life in the medicine garden.
The aura of the Medicine Garden is not as good as Feiyue Villa.
However, the rich vegetation essence here has blessed Lu Changan's practice of the "Ancient Tree Evergreen Technique" of the wood system.
Therefore, his cultivation speed is no less than that of Feiyue Villa who is on the first level spiritual vein.
In the past few days, Lu Changan and Mu Yunfei had become familiar with each other, and they had learned about the situation in the frontline mining areas.
Deep in that copper mining area, the associated "Purple Heart Copper" was indeed discovered.
The Purple Heart Copper was not within the scope of the two clans’ original agreement to share it equally.
Moreover, the branches of purple heart copper are very fragmented and the quantity is small, so it is easy to be hidden privately.
Nowadays, the monks from the two tribes use their own methods to mine the Purple Heart Copper, and sometimes they fight.
"As the arbiter of the year, the Beast Controlling Zhou family didn't take action to stop it?"
Lu Changan asked Mu Yunfei curiously.
"The Zhou Family of Beast Controllers?"
Mu Yunfei sneered, "The Zhou family clearly favors the Zheng family! A pair of sisters with spiritual roots in the Zheng family married the eldest young master of one of the Zhou family."
As one of the seven aristocratic families, the Zhou Family of Yushou has a False Dan Master in charge, with nearly ten people in the foundation building period.
The power is huge, and the branches and factions within the clan are also relatively complex.
Fortunately, only one of them was won over by the Zheng family, otherwise the Mu family could have surrendered directly.
The reason why Mu Yunfei said the Zhou family was partial.
Because there are many young monks in the Zheng family, the ancestor of the family still has twenty or thirty years to live and is in better condition.
The Zhou family does not uphold justice, and if it continues to be consumed for a long time, the Zheng family will have the opportunity to eat away at the Mu family's property bit by bit.
"You don't have to worry. Our Mu family is in contact with the 'Maple Leaf Huang Family', and there is a possibility of marriage. The Huang family has built its foundations in three branches, and is very powerful."
Seemingly sensing Lu Changan's worries, Mu Yunfei revealed.
"Maple Leaf Huang family, marriage?"
Lu Changan was thoughtful.
It seems that both the Zheng family and the Mu family are recruiting powerful allies.
…
"Be quick with your hands and feet! Pick those mist orchid grasses, Ge will wait for you to make the elixir."
On this day, Lu Changan was chatting with Mu Yunfei, when an impatient hoarse voice came from the Yaotian District not far away.
"who is he?"
Lu Changan glanced at an old man in ancient robes with puffy eyes in the distance.
He hadn't noticed before that there was actually a senior who was at the seventh level of Qi training in the medicine garden.
"He is the alchemist 'Ge Yi', one of the four great guests of the family. Due to the recent shortage of elixirs, Mr. Ge is always stationed here in the medicine garden to facilitate the collection of materials for elixir making."
Mu Yunfei showed respect and introduced.
Lu Changan suddenly realized that he was a senior alchemist. No wonder he had such a bad temper. He yelled at several Mu family teenagers like he was commanding his grandson.
After Master Ge Dan left.
Mu Yunfei lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Ge has a bad temper. You should be careful not to offend him. Mr. Ge has a friendship with the ancestor, and the head of the family must respect him."
"Thank you, brother Yunfei, for reminding me."
Lu Changan nodded.
He is assisting the guards in the medicine garden, practicing in a low-key manner, and does not have to deal with Elder Ge.
…
The medicine garden is at the rear and has always been peaceful and worry-free.
I practiced peacefully for more than half a year.
This day.
Lu Changan, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, using his energy to absorb the spiritual energy of the plants and trees, suddenly opened his dark eyes.
"The peak of the third level of Qi training."
Since he is re-cultivating, there are basically no bottlenecks during the Qi refining period.
This means that you can enter the middle stage of Qi refining at any time.
