Lu Changan considered whether he should take a hand and advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Because most of the young people in the clan who are in the middle stage of Qi refining will be recruited to the frontline mining areas.
But after thinking about it, he didn't intend to keep it.
For one thing, after being promoted to the middle stage of Qi refining, the mana will increase significantly. For Lu Changan who is re-cultivating, his strength will be greatly improved.
Secondly, this is also a test.
If all talented Talisman masters are drafted to the front line, it means that the situation has reached the point where they are running out of ammunition and food.
If that's the case, there is no need for Lu Changan to stay in the Mu family.
He is determined to leave, and with the means of his previous life and the high-quality talismans, it will be difficult to catch up in the later stages of Qi refining unless he takes action during the foundation building stage.
A few days later.
Lu Changan successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
This is the advantage of rebuilding.
If replaced with ordinary low-grade spiritual roots, middle-grade spiritual roots, and no level-breaking elixirs, it would be considered normal for them to stay for one or two years, or at most three to five years.
Of course, this is the bottleneck of the small realm.
If it were a major realm bottleneck like the Foundation Establishment period, with Lu Changan's qualifications in this life, he would have to cooperate with the Foundation Establishment Pill to be safe.
"Twenty-seven years old, fourth level of Qi refining."
"From the age of eighteen, it takes two years to reach the second level of Qi Refining; three years to reach the third level of Qi Refining; four years to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining..."
The progression of Evergreen Kung Fu is really gentle.
Unknowingly, Lu Changan had been practicing in the Mu family for nine years.
During this period, he kept a low profile and did not cause trouble, so he did not encounter any trouble.
Lu Changan didn't know.
Zheng Feng, the ugly woman of the Zheng family, has been trying to take revenge on him these years.
But there is absolutely no chance.
Because, in the past nine years, Lu Changan has never left the Mu family residence except for the appointment three years ago.
Zheng Feng was so anxious that she almost had internal bleeding.
…
Lu Changan broke through the small realm, and there was a change in the aura of heaven and earth, which could not be hidden from the monks in the Yaoyuan housing area.
Unless you go out and find a place to break through, you can have a chance to hide your cultivation.
"Congratulations to brother Chang'an for advancing to the middle stage of Qi refining."
After leaving quarantine, Mu Yunfei was the first to come to congratulate him.
"Brother Yunfei is laughing at me. At my age, I am promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining. I am really stupid and mediocre."
Lu Changan smiled and said, this is not considered modest.
The twenty-seven-year-old is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and his potential is relatively poor. The chance of building a foundation in the future is very small.
Normally, only when you advance to the late stage of Qi refining before the age of thirty can you have some hope of building a foundation.
With Lu Changan's current trend, it is obviously impossible to refine Qi to the seventh level before the age of thirty.
However, he has a lifespan of 180 years during the Qi training stage, so there is no need to rush.
"Brother Chang'an started late. Although the advancement is not fast, his cultivation has been improving continuously, which is commendable."
After Mu Yunfei finished speaking, his expression looked slightly sad.
Lu Changan could see that Mu Yunfei had been stuck on the sixth level of Qi Refining for several years and failed to advance to the later stage of Qi Refining.
Compared with Lu Changan's gradual progress, this stagnation is disappointing.
"With Brother Yunfei's resilience, if I exchange it for a level-breaking elixir in the future, I will be able to break through the bottleneck."
Lu Changan comforted him.
The level-breaking elixirs in the later stages of Qi refining are rare to find in the Mu family, and anyone who has contributed has to queue up.
In addition, Mu Yunfei lost an arm. Breaking through every realm in the future will be more difficult than for normal people.
…
The next few days.
Lu Changan was relaxing in the medicine garden.
In the past six months, there have been occasional battles in the frontline mining areas, but fortunately they have not escalated further.
At least, there is no end to the foundation building period.
The elders of the two clans were also more restrained.
Two months ago, Li Ergou returned to his family to recuperate as a wounded man.
Li Ergou's injury is also strange.
One of his legs was broken, but he was not injured by the enemy, but accidentally broke his leg when he was defeated and evacuated.
Real fighting only causes flesh wounds.
Half a month ago, Li Ergou specially came to the medicine garden to thank Lu Changan and beg to buy a high-quality wind speed charm.
For a normal talisman master, the probability of producing high-quality talismans is very low. Lu Changan expressed his embarrassment and said that he would sell them later when he had them.
In Li Ergou's words, thanks to Lu Changan's high-quality wind speed charm, the effect was beyond expectations.
Because the speed was too fast, Ergou accidentally broke his leg when retreating to the base camp.
Fortunately.
Li Ergou was given half a year to recover from his injuries and could return to his family to reunite with his wife and children.
…
Half a month later.
A family steward came to the medicine garden and recruited Mu Yunfei to go to the frontline mining area.
After a year of recuperation, Mu Yunfei's injury soon recovered.
"Brother Yunfei, take care."
Lu Changan clasped his fists with a little pity in his heart.
This injury heals, and I have to go to the front line again...
Mu Yunfei didn't complain at all and was ready to leave with the manager.
"Don't worry, I have something to say."
The steward smiled, his eyes fell on Lu Changan, and announced:
"Starting from today, the position of garrison in the medicine garden will be held by Lu Changan."
"Medicine garden stationed?"
Lu Changan's eyelids twitched, he was unexpected.
How could the Mu family allow him, a foreigner, to serve as a garrison in the medicine garden?
"Lu Chang'an, there is no need to refuse. This is the result of the family leader's efforts and against all opinions."
The steward said with a smile:
"The master of the house speaks highly of you: 'You are calm in times of crisis and careful in your thinking'!"
Lu Changan underestimated Mumud's courage.
Mumud knew that Lu Changan was not loyal enough, and if he was forced to go to the front line, it would be counterproductive.
But the family really lacks manpower.
Mu Maode admired Lu Changan's alertness in the past, but the younger generation in the clan was not as sophisticated as him.
At a time of family crisis, it would be a pity to waste such a talent. It is better to put it in an important position.
In the years since Lu Changan came to the Mu family, he never fought or fought, kept a low profile in his cultivation, and his character was basically recognized by the Mu family.
Mumoud chose to take a gamble.
He didn't know what fate this desperate gamble would bring to the Mu family.
…
"Brother Chang'an! I believe you can take over my position and guard the Good Medicine Garden."
Mu Yunfei cast a trusting look.
Previously, the position of Yaoyuan garrison was temporarily held by Mu Yunfei.
"Don't worry! The medicine garden is in the rear area, taking care of each other with Feiyue Villa, and Mr. Ge is here to make alchemy."
Now that the matter has come to this, Lu Changan cannot refuse.
He used to assist the guards, but now he is the leader.
The biggest difference is that it is no longer easy to fish.
Compared to Mu Yunfei, Li Ergou wants to fight on the front line, which is not unacceptable.
Nine years ago, Lu Changan was taken in by the Mu family and trained in the Spiritual Vein Dojo. The Mu family was kind to him.
There is nothing wrong with assuming certain obligations within a reasonable scope.
This kind of righteous atmosphere can tolerate cultivating families with foreign surnames, which is hard to find in the world of cultivating immortals.
"Fortunately, I didn't marry a wife and have children in the Mu family."
Lu Changan has nothing to worry about and can run away at any time.
It's hard for the Mu family to handle him.
Li Ergou is different.
My wife and children are all in the Mu family. In the past ten years, I have completely integrated into the Mu family and it is difficult to get rid of this big group.
When the family faces a crisis, Mu Yunfei and Li Ergou have no choice but to step forward, even if they know they may sacrifice their lives.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan adapted to his position as a garrison in the medicine garden.
Several young men from the Mu family who were in the early stages of Qi refining obeyed his orders.
The formation must be inspected every day, and someone must be on guard and patrol at night.
Of course, Lu Changan is not the boss in the medicine garden and must be checked and balanced.
In the medicine garden, there were two people with higher status than him.
One is a dim-sighted Ling Zhifu who is at the fifth level of Qi refining. He is an elder of the Mu family. Looking at the way he walks with difficulty, he is approaching the end of his lifespan and there is no need to count on his fighting ability.
The other one is naturally Alchemist Ge Yi.
A seventh-level Qi practitioner, a first-level top-grade alchemist with a high status.
This guy has an arrogant temperament and a bad temper. He always yells at me every time I deal with him.
Lu Changan couldn't avoid it.
"Xiao Lu! Why hasn't someone sent you that two-hundred-year-old snake heart plant?"
Ge Yi walked over with an unhappy expression.
"According to the regulations, the collection of precious medicinal materials that are more than two hundred years old must be approved by the family head."
Lu Changan lay on the grass and basked in the sun, and said slowly.
Ge Yi doesn't treat him as a human being, and Lu Changan doesn't need to respect him.
Ge Yi's tired and swollen eye bags and sunken eye sockets revealed a hint of sinisterness under his sullenness.
Lie down and talk to him?
For many years in the Mu family, no monk dared to be so disrespectful to him.
"This is a special period! The frontline is in urgent need of elixirs and must not be delayed..."
Ge Yi suppressed the anger in his heart when he thought that Lu Changan was a member of a foreign clan and a middle-grade talisman master who was not easy to control.
"Okay! If you want to take it to yourself, I won't take responsibility."
Lu Changan said indifferently.
This alchemist Ge Yi often takes medicinal herbs out of order, especially during this special period.
I don’t know how much I have been greedy for ink.
However, relying on his friendship with the ancestor of the foundation establishment, the elders who used to guard the medicine garden were all polite to him.
"What a lazy boy! If you neglect your duties every day, I will definitely report it to the senior management of the family."
With a harsh word, Ge Yi left angrily.
Went to get precious medicinal herbs.
"Could it be that Patriarch Mu wants me to check Elder Ge?"
Lu Changan was helpless when this result occurred.
He has kept a low profile and stayed out of the way.
But in his position, he was destined to be unable to live in harmony with Ge Yi.
"This old guy must be greedy for medicinal herbs."
Not long after, Lu Changan saw Ge Yi taking several precious medicinal materials, not just the two-hundred-year-old snakeskin grass mentioned earlier.
After taking the medicinal herbs, Ge Yi returned to his big yard and began to refine elixirs behind closed doors.
