After listening to the narration in the childish voice of the Earth Rock Rat, Lu Changan's face showed a strange look.
The Earth Rock Rat is a true elixir-level demon with a talent for earth escape, a keen sense of smell, and is good at tracking.
During the more than half a month that Lu Changan was out, Yu Qin's every move did not escape the surveillance of the Earth Rock Rat.
Who this woman interacts with every day, practices, food, entertainment, and even the color of clothes she wears are monitored clearly, down to the smallest detail.
Lu Changan was also amused. Before leaving, he just asked the rock rat to pay attention. He didn't expect the rat to be so serious.
Based on the report of the Earth Rock Rat, Lu Changan discovered two doubts.
The first suspicion is that Yu Qin secretly prepared several medicinal herbs, including powders, potions, and perfumes.
However, the rock rat's sense of smell did not detect anything highly poisonous.
The second suspicion is that Yu Qin once went out.
The rock rat did not follow him out.
Because Lu Changan asked him to guard Qiufeng Island and guard the black wood gourd vine planted at the bottom of the deep pool.
This matter is of the highest importance and priority.
Lu Changan pondered: "Has this woman ever deliberately paid attention to or gotten close to Xia Wenyue?"
Xia Wenyue's innate Tao body contained an opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul stage, and it also came with unknown risks. Lu Changan was instinctively on guard.
"No." The rock rat shook his little head.
"From this point of view, Yu Qin's sojourn and refuge can rule out the secret of the innate Taoist body."
Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, even if this woman comes with bad intentions, she is at most a hostile force from the Xia clan."
Lu Changan didn't know that Yu Qin had framed him before Young Master Xia.
While Lu Changan was away, Yu Qin never said anything bad about Lu Changan, and showed a pitiful and meek look in front of Young Master Xia.
Yu Qin understands the truth that going too far is never enough. Even though they once loved each other, Young Master Xia cannot completely trust her.
Don't be too repetitive in your attempts to distance yourself, otherwise it's easy to expose your flaws.
Regardless of whether Young Master Xia believes it or not, all it takes is a bud of doubt in his heart to cause a gap in the relationship between the two.
…
Two days later, Qiufeng Island Mansion.
Lu Changan sent out a transmission note to make an appointment with Xia Shenglan, the elder of the Xia clan.
As a worshiper of the Xia clan, Lu Changan noticed something was wrong with Yu Qin and wanted to remind Young Master Xia.
However, although he has a high status within the clan, he is still a monk with a foreign surname.
Xia Mingqu and Yu Qin fell in love when they were young and almost became a Taoist couple. Their relationship and relationship were extraordinary.
In terms of friendship, Lu Changan cannot compare.
Therefore, he decided to start with Xia Shenglan to avoid embarrassing Young Master Xia.
In terms of seniority, Xia Shenglan is Xia Mingqu's cousin. She once married into the Xin family, which ranked second in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
Half an hour later.
Wearing a long water orchid dress, the beautiful and dignified Foundation Establishment female cultivator flew to Qiufeng Island.
"Fellow Daoist Lu personally invited me. It's rare. I'm so flattered that I don't dare to delay in the slightest."
A faint smile appeared on Xia Shenglan's face. Although it was not disrespectful, it was not as close as before.
A few years ago, before Lu Changan's identity was revealed, he had saved Xia Shenglan's life.
After this woman severed her relationship with the Xin family, the Xia clan tried to get her to marry Lu Changan and gave her the level-breaking elixir for the later stages of foundation building.
However, Lu Changan rejected the matchmaking offer from the Xia clan's senior officials.
From then on, the relationship between Lu Changan and Xia Shenglan faded, and at best they were just acquaintances between fellow monks.
"The old words of the Shenglan tribe are serious. Lu is just an old foundation-building cultivator, not a big shot."
Lu Changan could hear the self-mockery in this woman's words, but he didn't take it seriously and took it lightly.
In the side hall, the host and guests sit separately.
The maid Xia Wenyue brought the cakes and fruits, and greeted Xia Shenglan with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Wenyue's complexion has improved a lot, and her cultivation has also improved... Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed a foundation-builder in cultivating life skills. He has unique attainments in Wenyang."
Xia Wenyue's change fell into Xia Shenglan's eyes. While she was surprised, she was also happy for the former.
The original Xia Wenyue had a beautiful appearance, which was only partially obscured by her frail body.
After her condition stabilized, Xia Wenyue's appearance became even better than before, like a flawless jade, which made fellow female cultivator Xia Shenglan feel a sense of astonishment.
Xia Shenglan took another look at Lu Changan, who was as gentle as jade and extremely handsome, and sighed secretly in her heart.
In fact, when Lu Changan was hiding his identity, although Xia Shenglan had a crush on him, there was no real love between a man and a woman.
The family brought the two of them together, and she was happy to see them succeed.
However, at the moment when Lu Changan confessed his identity and stepped on the tortoise, Xia Shenglan's heart, which had been dormant for decades, suddenly began to flutter.
After that, she silently paid attention to the Liang Guo monk who was promoted to enshrinement, and learned the rumors and good stories about him from the intelligence data.
With a comprehensive understanding, Xia Shenglan admired Lu Changan's inspirational career of cultivating immortals and became more and more curious.
It's a pity that Lu Changan rejected the family's matchmaking back then, and Xia Shenglan couldn't lose face and got closer to him.
This time Lu Changan took the initiative to invite him. Deep down in his heart, Xia Shenglan had a slight hope of luck.
…
After a cup of tea, Xia Shenglan felt disappointed.
Lu Changan did not show any signs of reminiscing about the past. The topics he talked about involved the situation of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, the development of the Xuanyin Demon Sect, the Liang Kingdom's Immortal Cultivation War, etc.
Lu Changan signaled Xia Wenyue to retreat, and then got to the point, mentioning "Yu Qin"'s situation to Xia Shenglan.
Of course, Lu Changan expressed it more implicitly. Wufu Chamber of Commerce is currently facing internal and external troubles, so he asked the Xia clan to be wary of Yu Qin.
Mainly because there is no evidence.
Indeed, when Yu Qin visited her last time, she had the intention of seducing him, but she did not implement it and her words were unfounded.
"Fellow Daoist Lu thinks there is something wrong with Yu Qin? Is there any evidence?"
Xia Shenglan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face looking thoughtful.
Lu Changan smiled and said, "There is no evidence, just intuition, for reference only."
"I'm already aware of this matter and will remind Mingqu. However, Mingqu is preparing to hit the late stage of foundation building in the near future..."
Xia Shenglan looked hesitant.
"Attack on the late stage of foundation building?"
Lu Changan understood Xia Shenglan's concerns.
The later stage of foundation building is an important level, and it is best to avoid emotional and mental interference.
…
After Xia Shenglan left Qiufeng Island, she thought about it and decided to go see Xia Mingqu.
Xia Mingqu is the next generation helmsman trained by the family. If his ambition is affected by even this trivial matter, there is no need to waste the family's resources.
Inside Young Master Xia's mansion.
"Sister Sheng Lan, I am planning to practice in seclusion in the near future. The clan leader and father are both at the helm of the Chamber of Commerce. I have to worry about all the affairs within the clan."
Xia Mingqu showed enough respect and trust to this cousin who had returned from a foreign marriage.
"It doesn't matter if it's hard work, it's all part of the job."
Xia Shenglan nodded, without any polite greetings, and then mentioned the meeting with Lu Changan just now.
"Lu Changan suspects Qin'er?"
Hearing this, Xia Mingqu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
More than half a month ago, Yu Qin came to complain, saying that when Lu Changan checked his pulse, he did such obscene things and took advantage of it.
For the sake of family stability and personal dignity, Xia Mingqu suppressed the matter and did not tell anyone else.
At this moment when Xia Shenglan arrived, Xia Mingqu was not sure, so he stopped hiding it.
"So, you believed what Yu Qin said?" Xia Shenglan looked slightly cold.
"No, I believe Qin'er's words at most. After all, judging from the intelligence from Liang Guo, Lu Changan has a good reputation and is a good man."
Xia Mingqu shook his head and said.
An old lover came to seek refuge, and Xia Mingqu sent his tribe to investigate: Yu Qin was indeed expelled from Yunxia Mountain, the sect of Jing State, and the family declined. The general outline of the past is very clear.
"How are you going to deal with this?"
"Although Qin'er once fell in love with me, after so many years, our relationship has faded a lot. Naturally, we cannot be compared with Master Lu Fu."
Xia Mingqu said calmly.
"As long as you understand."
Xia Shenglan's face softened slightly, and regardless of personal feelings, at least Xia Mingqu was not confused in the general direction.
As a late-stage foundation builder, Lu Changan possesses monsters of the same level, and his Talisman Master skills have reached the third level.
This level of status and status is not much worse than that of the fake Dan real person.
…
at dusk.
In the quiet room, Lu Changan sat cross-legged, meditating on the secret method of transforming elixirs that he had traded from Zhang Tieshan.
This secret method is called "Returning to the Dust to Transform into Pills", and Lu Changan had already understood it in his spare time.
Since I didn't have the guidance of a teacher, I have been learning this alchemy method for many years, but I still haven't fully understood a few details.
This is Lu Changan's cultivation to the pinnacle of alchemy in his previous life, and he has a high level of knowledge and knowledge.
This shows the importance of mentorship.
Many immortal cultivating sects' sect-suppressing techniques, even if they are accidentally spread and fall into the hands of ordinary monks, it is difficult to successfully practice them.
"Zhang Tieshan does not have the disciples of True Lord Yuanying, but he dares to take the road of elixir transformation. The opportunity is indeed not small..."
Lu Changan thought of the letter sent from Liang Guo some time ago. Zhang Tieshan was hunted by Zhendan and lost news.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tieshan is in danger.
However, Lu Changan was certain that Zhang Tieshan might have taken the opportunity to hide his name and secretly go to the elixir to reshape it.
"In two years at most, I will be able to cultivate to the eighth level of foundation building. Even without the guidance of a famous teacher, I should be able to explore and understand this secret method before the ninth level of foundation building."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
"Even if the transformation of the elixir fails and there is a backlash, I will consume my life span and use the Evergreen Secret Technique, so I don't have to worry about damage to my foundation..."
Regarding this point, Lu Changan verified this when Guan Qiaozhi failed to build the foundation.
squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat emerged from Lu Changan's side without anyone noticing.
"oh?"
Lu Changan listened for a moment, with a smile on his face, and let the rock rat go to practice underground.
He murmured: "The top decision-makers of the Xia clan did not disappoint me."
It turned out that when Xia Shenglan went to talk to Xia Mingqu, she was eavesdropped by the rock rat.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Changan would not explore other people's privacy, nor would he be that interested.
However, Young Master Xia's attitude and decision-making will affect Lu Changan's future plans for the Xia clan.
If Young Master Xia is deceived by Yu Qin and feels grudge and hostility, Lu Changan will not stay in the Xia clan forever.
"Yu Qin, this girl, is really trying to drive a wedge between each other. If I am forced to leave, then the strength of the Xin family will not be weaker than that of the Xia family."
For fake elixir families like the Xia family and the Xin family, every person in the late stage of foundation building is an important person in charge of one party.
What's more, it's Lu Changan who is in this extraordinary late stage of foundation building.
As long as he sits in Qingshawan, the Xia clan's rear will be very stable, and he can provide the Xia clan with high-grade talismans.
After thinking about the two doubts discovered before, Lu Changan probably guessed Yu Qin's next plan.
…
A few days later, Lu Changan took the initiative to visit Xia Shenglan's dojo.
From the perspective of outsiders, the relationship between the two has a tendency of warming up and reuniting.
In fact, Lu Changan just used this to give Xia Shenglan some advice.
As for whether Young Master Xia would listen or not, Lu Changan didn't care.
As a worshiper of the Xia clan, he is not completely benevolent, but he has fulfilled his basic obligations.
The third day after Lu Changan visited Xia Shenglan.
Yu Qin came to Qiufeng Island again to seek medicine.
Lu Changan was too lazy to pay attention and let this woman receive a rejection.
"There is no need for Master Lu Fu to personally take care of the medicine I seek."
Yu Qin was not angry, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright with hope.
She smiled and asked Xia Wenyue to pick some herbs and help prepare medicines and sachets.
After the purchase, Yu Qin did not forget to take Xia Wenyue and chat with her.
Yu Qin was a senior in the foundation-building stage, so Xia Wenyue couldn't refuse, so she had to accompany her.
Lu Changan ignored this and asked the Earth Rock Rat to look after Xia Wenyue secretly.
…
Half a month later.
Young Master Xia began to practice in seclusion and entered the later stage of foundation building.
Lu Changan could see Xia Mingqu's cultivation progress at a glance.
Breaking through at this stage is no big problem.
But considering Xia Mingqu's age, he can definitely improve in another year or two.
The reason for breaking through as soon as possible is probably to add a strong combat power to the family in the late stage of foundation building.
The Xia and Xin tribes each have a false elixir true person to check and balance each other.
The cultivation level of fake elixirs cannot be improved. Except for a few special beings, their strength is quite different.
What really affects the situation is the overhaul of the same level in the later stage of foundation building.
Xia Mingqu's time of retreat.
Xia Shenglan and Yu Qin were waiting outside the door as guardians.
Considering the relationship between the two of them and Young Master Xia, it is reasonable and reasonable.
A few days later.
In the secret room, a rising wave of mana surged, faintly touching the later stages of foundation building.
But not long after, the rising momentum of mana fluctuations came to an abrupt end and fell out of thin air.
Wow!
In the secret room, Xia Mingqu spit out a mouthful of blue-purple poisonous blood, and the remaining mana shockwaves blasted into the wall.
"Famous song!"
Xia Shenglan's expression changed, she opened the secret room door and broke in.
"What kind of poison is this? I've obviously checked the elixir..."
Xia Mingqu's handsome and fair face was mixed with green and red, his body was swaying slightly, and his expression was shocked and unbelievable.
In such a situation, it is obvious that the attack failed and the poisonous method backfired.
…
When Yu Qin walked to the door of the secret room, her steps suddenly stopped.
Xia Shenglan looked back and glared angrily: "Yu Qin! Was it you who poisoned me?"
These days, apart from her, only Yu Qin and Young Master Xia have had close contact.
As for Lu Changan, he has never been to Xia Mingqu's residence since he returned home.
"Giggle, that's not a highly poisonous thing, but a mixed secret medicine, which is made by neutralizing the smell of perfume and several medicinal powders. As long as it hits the realm bottleneck, this mixed secret medicine will take effect, causing the blood to boil and the heart to boil.
Obstacles occur frequently..."
Outside the door, Yu Qin's soft voice came, with a sarcastic tone.
Don't wait for Xia Shenglan and Xia Mingqu to react.
The woman's voice has not yet finished.
Hidden in the sleeves of the pink skirt, her bare hands grasped a black ball and threw it into the secret room.
boom!
A ball of black fire exploded, covering ten feet, and at the same time, a large black poisonous smoke spread, covering dozens of feet in radius.
It doesn’t matter what the outcome is.
Yu Qin, wearing a pink dress, turned into a ray of light and leaped above the poisonous smoke.
"Gee, if it weren't for Master Lu's help with the medicinal herbs, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly."
Yu Qin's pretty face was glowing with a bright red glow.
A pair of gleaming autumn eyes glanced playfully in the direction of Qiufeng Island.
Before escaping, don't forget to splash some dirty water.
"Yu Qin! How dare you poison the young master!"
In the Qingshuiwan mansion, a clan elder from the foundation-building period soon ordered the clan members to hunt down Yu Qin.
Yu Qin, however, remained calm and unhurried.
Most of the senior officials of the Xia Clan are involved in the Xin Clan and sit at the head of the Chamber of Commerce and other branches to maintain their business operations.
Today, there are only four foundation-building leaders in Qingshawan Clan.
Among them is Lu Changan, a man with a foreign surname.
Qiufeng Island, where Lu Changan is located, is located in a remote place, some distance away from the hinterland of Qingshawan, so it is difficult to get there quickly.
In other words, there are only three people from the Xia family who are really chasing her.
However, Xia Mingqu and Xia Shenglan were injured by her plot and were unable to do anything.
In fact, the biggest variable is Lu Changan.
Judging from the available information, with Lu Changan's strength, one person can take her down.
"Lu Changan, who is the most powerful, was too late to provide support. Moreover, with his reputation as the 'Turtle Talisman Master' in Liang Kingdom, he will protect his own safety and will never use all his strength!"
Yu Qin is sure of winning.
This comes from the intelligence of the forces behind it, as well as the result of my own exploration in the Xia clan and my familiarity with the geographical environment.
Alas, I don’t want to say more. I had erections twice in the first half of the year, and I became impotent, as if my energy was drained by a female ghost. Now I am bored with everything I do, including playing games, reading books, movies, washing my feet...
Make a wish: strive for stable updates in the second half of the year and earn some money for retirement.
