At the insistence of the two real people, Lu Changan had no choice but to acquiesce in calling Fu Xuemei "Brother Lu".
For the female Zhendan cultivator, this is a condescension and friendship with him, and if she refuses, it will appear to be ungrateful.
As a dying person, Master Huang Long may have noticed Lu Changan's extraordinary qualities. After the failure in bringing about a Taoist couple, he hoped that there would be a little bond left between the two.
Half an hour later, Fu Xuemei, who had recovered a little mana, was able to stand up reluctantly.
"Miss Fu's injuries are out of danger. What are the three of you's plans next?"
Lu Changan glanced at the setting sun outside the cave.
Master Huang Long and Fu Xuemei immediately understood the implication of Lu Changan's words.
"This time we are causing trouble for Little Friend Lu. We will leave Wuqi Mountain before nightfall."
Master Huanglong cupped his hands and said in shame.
Lu Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The two real people in Huanglong Mountain still wanted to save their face and did not stay on the mountain.
The two real people naturally understood that staying in Wuqi Mountain would bring risks to Lu Changan.
Wuqi Mountain is a neutral small trading point. If it is just ordinary transactions, selling items, and treating customers, there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, Huanglongshan is not a wanted person, he has just lost his power.
However, if Wuqi Mountain took in the injured from Huanglong Mountain, it would have the meaning of shelter, and it would easily lead to confrontation with the hostile forces in Huanglong Mountain.
There was still an hour before nightfall, so Lu Changan arranged a room for the three of them to take a short rest.
Fu Xuemei, in particular, is very weak and needs to hurry up to recover.
"To be honest, little friend Lu, we may be targeted by the enemy, and the risk of going out is not small. Before we leave, can you help Xuemei heal her injuries one last time to speed up her recovery?"
Master Huang Long explained the situation calmly and made a request.
"good."
Lu Changan and Fu Xuemei have a doctor-patient relationship, so this request is reasonable. As long as they don't stay overnight, everything else is easy.
The guest room arranged for Fu Xuemei is exactly the room where Mu Bingyun lived in that year. The decoration and furniture are in line with the aesthetics of female cultivators.
Master Huang Long glanced at Fu Dong, and the two left in a tacit understanding.
Lu Changan and Fu Xuemei were the only ones left in the room.
Fu Xuemei is sitting cross-legged on the futon, with long lavender hair and a face as beautiful as snow, like an independent moon fairy.
"Brother Lu, if you feel embarrassed, you might as well sit quietly for an hour and have a casual chat."
Fu Xuemei said with a quiet face.
She vaguely realized that Master's arrangement was not only to speed up the recovery of injuries, but also had an intriguing purpose.
"No need, if it can give Miss Fu a chance to survive, it's not worth mentioning that Mr. Lu has to spend an hour of his time."
Lu Changan came to Fu Xuemei.
The latter smiled slightly and nodded, and did not feel the awkwardness of being in such close proximity to an orphaned man.
Or you may find it offensive to face-to-face healing with your palms against your abdomen.
Lu Changan thought for a moment, then came behind Fu Xuemei, sat cross-legged, and put his palms on her back, allowing the Evergreen mana to penetrate into her abdomen.
Seeing such an action, Fu Xuemei, who had her back turned, had a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
Even though Lu Changan deliberately avoided taboos, he could feel the smooth and delicate skin of the Jiedan Jurchen through the moon-white dress with his palms.
An hour flew by.
During this period, the two rarely communicated.
Fu Xuemei carried the pill power and cooperated tacitly with Lu Changan in healing his injuries, making the progress smoother.
"Okay, in the next few months, Miss Fu will try to avoid using magic power."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Lu."
The two stood up together. Since both sides were exerting their efforts, there was a little sweat on their foreheads, and they could clearly feel each other's breath.
Perhaps because the healing process was progressing well, Fu Xuemei's pale face became slightly rosy.
Seeing the two people walking out side by side, Huang Long smiled, nodded, and thanked them again.
At this time, it was getting dark.
The three visitors to Huanglong Mountain stopped staying and said goodbye.
"I hope the three of you will not leak the details of this treatment to the outside world."
Before leaving, Lu Changan also made a request.
"I can't live for more than a few days, so I will never cause trouble to Fellow Daoist Lu. If the time is right, I might be able to eliminate a hidden danger in Wu Qi Mountain."
Master Huang Long coughed softly, and his body shape once again transformed into the rickety old man he had been before.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, my brother and I will keep everything secret."
Fu Xuemei, sister and brother, bowed solemnly.
…
In the last ray of sunset.
Lu Changan watched the carriage of the Huanglongshan trio leave Xiaogui Peak.
Squeak!
The rock rat emerged from the cave and stared directly at the carriage going away.
See the drool remaining at the corner of its mouth.
Lu Changan couldn't help but laugh. He touched the hairy rat head and said:
"Stop dreaming about the great dreams of spring and autumn. How can you covet the mid-level third-order earth dragon beast?"
It turns out that Huanglong Zhenren had previously taken out the "petrified specimen" of the Earth Dragon Beast, which was sensed by the Earth Rock Rat.
The Earth Dragon Beast is a pure earth spirit beast, and even contains thin dragon blood. It is slightly stronger than many monsters with earth blood.
Whether it is the inner elixir of the Earth Dragon Beast or a body of flesh and blood, it is a great tonic for the Earth Rock Rat, which can increase the chance of being promoted to the third level Great Demon.
However, Lu Changan was not able to possess such a precious spiritual beast in his previous life.
Lu Changan had cultivated to the peak of Dan Jie in his previous life, but he was still in the late stage of Dan Jie, and his background was slightly inferior to that of other major sects.
In his heyday, Huanglong Zhenren, together with the mid-level third-level earth dragon beast, can already rival the general late-stage pill-forming overhaul.
Huanglong Zhenren and the Earth Dragon Beast have been together day and night for hundreds of years, and they have a deep relationship. He is a famous pet protector.
Earthdramon is not completely dead, there is still a trace of vitality and intelligence left.
If the Nascent Soul Lord takes action and cooperates with the fourth-level elixir, there is some hope of saving his life.
Therefore, Lu Changan did not propose an unrealistic transaction.
Furthermore, his personal cultivation is mediocre, and if Earth Rock Rat advances too quickly, it may not be a good thing.
After the three people from Huanglongshan left.
For the sake of caution, Lu Changan took the rock rat and carefully inspected the cave.
The visitors just now were two immortal Jiedan masters, one of whom was a legendary figure who had been famous for hundreds of years.
Lu Changan had to be on guard in case the other party left some hidden means.
The rock rat sniffed carefully at the place where the three guests had stayed, not sparing any corner.
Check again and again that there are no omissions.
Squeak!
The rock rat came out of the guest room where Fu Xuemei had stayed before, holding a letter in his mouth.
"This is……"
Lu Changan found that this letter seemed old and had been stored for many years.
The Qingjun font on it is also very familiar and was not left by Fu Xuemei.
But the guest room where Fu Xuemei just rested and healed was the room where Mu Bingyun once stayed as a maid.
"Uncle Lu, when you read this letter, I don't know what year or month it is. Maybe you will never see it..."
This letter was secretly left by Mu Bingyun after she spent the night here after being attacked by the "night fisherman" outside Wuqi Mountain.
The words in the letter have the shyness and anxiety of a young girl confiding her heart.
"...It was Master's confession before his death that gave Bingyun the courage to pour out his heart. If Uncle Lu is not happy, Quan should have never seen this letter."
After Lu Changan read the letter, his face showed no emotion or anger, and he was silent for a moment.
He never expected that the then eldest daughter of the Mu family would have such a will for her disciples before her death.
If Lu Changan and Mu Bingyun had a crush on each other, there would be no need to take into account their seniority relationship. As a deceased friend, she would not blame them in heaven and would silently bless them.
Lu Changan sighed secretly: Mu Xiuyun dedicated her life to her family and pinned all her regrets on her disciples.
…
The night is hazy.
Lu Changan has not yet recovered from reminiscing about the past.
Little Guifeng once again welcomed an uninvited guest.
"Miss Zhou came to visit late at night. I wonder if you have any advice?"
In the cave, Lu Changan looked at the pure and pretty girl in yellow dress opposite him, whose face was as beautiful as jade.
All in all, he and Zhou Qingxuan of the beast-controlling Zhou family have not seen each other for several years.
The Zhou family has trained a new generation of Talisman Masters, and their cooperation with Lu Changan is not as frequent as it was at first.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you ever been to Little Turtle Peak, the Fu Xuemei siblings from Huanglong Mountain?"
Zhou Qingxuan asked straight to the point with a tight tone.
"came."
Lu Changan's thoughts turned around, thinking that the beast control Zhou family and Huanglongshan had no grudges, and even had some cooperation.
So, what is Zhou Qingxuan’s purpose here?
"The Zhou family of beast control, beast control...it must be for the earth dragon beast whose life and death are unknown!"
In a flash of lightning, Lu Changan understood the purpose of this woman's visit.
"How is Fu Xuemei's injury? Has Fellow Daoist Lu treated her?"
Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes stared closely at Lu Changan.
The spiritual pressure emanating from this woman's body, and the accompanying fluctuations in consciousness, exceed those in the general late stage of foundation building.
"What do fellow Taoist Zhou mean by this? Are you here to raise an army in Wuqi Mountain to investigate the crime, or are you here to teach Mr. Lu how to do things?"
Lu Changan's calm tone revealed a hint of displeasure.
He didn't know where Zhou Qingxuan got the courage. Even if he was in the late stage of foundation building, he was not qualified to come to Wu Qi Mountain to stage a show.
Of course, Lu Changan didn't know that Zhou Qingxuan had a quasi-third-level beast pet, and his strength was considered to be among the ranks of fake elixir masters.
"The little girl is being abrupt."
Zhou Qingxuan looked at him, but the latter didn't give in at all and couldn't help but smile apologetically:
"I don't mean to blame Fellow Daoist Lu, I just came here to inquire about the news about Huanglong Mountain."
"If Friend Lu Dao can tell you the truth, the little girl is willing to give you a piece of animal food and elixir suitable for the use of late second-order earth-type monsters."
Zhou Qingxuan smiled beautifully and handed over a jade box.
Lu Changan took the jade box, took a look at it, and said slowly: "I made a deal with Huanglongshan. I can't tell you the core information, I can only give a general picture."
"Fu Xuemei is seriously injured and is mainly maintained by secret medicine. Due to the favor of the year and the situation, I can only treat her, but my medical skills are limited and it is a drop in the bucket. I can only revive her."
"How much strength do you estimate she has and how long it will take to recover from her injuries?" Zhou Qingxuan said thoughtfully.
"It's hard to say. My assessment of Master Jiedan's injury is not accurate."
"Is the real Huanglong showing up?"
"Zhenren Huanglong? Isn't he dead?" Lu Changan said in surprise.
"Besides the Fu siblings, are there any suspicious people traveling with us?"
"There is an old servant who doesn't look like Huang Long."
Lu Changan didn't like Zhou Qingxuan's behavior very much. In addition to his professional ethics, he had to protect the private information of trading customers to a certain extent.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for informing me. I hope that my visit tonight will not be disclosed to the outside world."
Zhou Qingxuan learned something about the situation and stood up to leave.
"Don't worry, Miss Zhou, Mr. Lu will keep his mouth shut."
Lu Changan put away the jade box and promised.
"It's interesting. The Zhou family of beast masters actually participated in the hunt? Or maybe it was Zhou Qingxuan's personal doing?"
Lu Changan looked interested as he watched the girl in the yellow skirt leave on the bird.
Both sides have given benefits, but he doesn't want to get involved in this matter and won't help anyone.
…
By the middle of the night.
Lu Changan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, sensed a powerful and terrifying wave of mana in vain.
boom!
Faintly, there was a roar that shook the earth and the mountains, sweeping in from hundreds of miles away, and a cool breeze blew from Wuqi Mountain.
