The next day, Lu Changan moved into Master Ge Dan's previous compound.
This compound originally belonged to the Yaoyuan garrison, but it was occupied by Ge Yi due to his previous transcendent status.
Before Mu Renlong left, he searched Ge Yi's yard and found nothing valuable.
Lu Changan moved in for privacy and spacious space.
It is convenient for him to draw talismans and study alchemy.
and cultivating spiritual pets.
Underneath the basement of the courtyard, there is a small hidden tunnel that is inaccessible to adults.
This is the exclusive passage for rock rats.
In the next two days, additional manpower from the Mu family gradually arrived.
Except for ordinary farmers, handymen, etc.
There are only six monks.
After Lu Changan saw it, he shook his head secretly and described it in eight words:
The old, weak, sick and disabled, the yin is strong and the yang is weak.
There are four young people on the first and second levels of Qi Refining, three of them are little girls.
A dim-sighted old woman who was on the fourth level of Qi Refining and was nearing the end of her life was responsible for taking care of the medicinal herbs.
There was also a dark-skinned lame young man on crutches.
Oh, the lame young man is Li Ergou.
Two months ago, Li Ergou broke his leg on the front line, and his family gave him half a year to recover.
It happened that the medicine garden was short of manpower, so he was transferred here to recuperate.
"Brother Lu is indeed a martial arts hero. He actually teamed up with the eldest lady to repel the ghost at the seventh level of Qi training!"
After meeting, Li Ergou was amazed and asked about the situation that day.
The innocent eyes of those little girls who were in the early stage of Qi refining showed admiration, and there was also a faint fire of gossip.
Fight together?
Lu Changan nodded: "It mainly depends on the eldest lady, I will be on the side to control it."
The Mu family's external publicity is in line with Lu Changan's wishes.
He had some guesses as to the specific reasons.
One, it’s hard to tell the outside world about details like the daughter of the Mu family being in a coma.
This is easy for outsiders to imagine and is not good for your reputation.
To put it bluntly, the two of them worked together to repel Ge Yi.
Secondly, it can improve the reputation of the daughter of the Mu family and make a contribution within the clan.
Because Mu Xiuyun has a higher level of cultivation and is the eldest lady, it is easy for outsiders to understand that she is the main force in defeating Ge Yi.
"By the way, Brother Lu, this is the letter between Zhao Siyao and Lin Yi."
Li Ergou handed over two letters.
For the past year, Lu Changan has been stationed in the medicine garden, and letters from outside have been sent to the clan.
Letters from major forces mainly rely on domestic servants, messengers, carrier pigeons, etc.
The higher-ups of Xianmen have higher means of communication.
…
Lu Changan first read Lin Yi's two letters.
The first letter, congratulations to Lu Changan for becoming a first-level talisman master.
The letter mentioned the fight between the Mu family and the Zheng family, implicitly indicating that he was not optimistic about the Mu family, and asked Lu Changan to pay attention to it.
In the second letter, sent last month, Lin Yi said that he had formed a force in the secular world called 'Yinxian Pavilion'.
This force mainly serves immortal cultivators.
With a small number of casual cultivators as the skeleton, it absorbs secular martial arts masters, collects various intelligence, and looks for immortal cultivating resources and treasures wandering in the secular world.
In the future, Yinxian Pavilion will consider starting a business as a casual cultivator, running errands for sect disciples and making connections.
"That's a good idea." Lu Changan thought.
In the letter, Lin Yi invited Lu Changan to join, promising the status of deputy cabinet master.
If Lu Changan doesn't want to join, he won't force it.
At the end of the letter, he begged Lu Changan to sell a batch of basic talismans and first-level low-grade talismans at a fair price to facilitate the early development of Yinxian Pavilion.
Naturally, Lu Changan would not refuse.
Lin Yi had also helped him before, such as asking for information about the Mu family and helping introduce casual cultivators to trade fairs.
Lu Changan wrote back and promised to give Lin Yi the first batch of twenty basic talismans and ten first-level low-grade talismans, calculated according to the wholesale purchase price of the shop in Fangshi.
As for the Yinxian Pavilion, Lu Changan did not agree to join.
It's okay to stay cooperative.
This will give Lu Changan another channel to understand the underlying intelligence of the world of immortality.
…
Then he opened Zhao Siyao's letter.
In the letter, Zhao Siyao asked about Lu Changan's current situation and mentioned her general situation in the sect.
Zhao Siyao also knew that he had become a talisman master and expressed his joy in the letter.
"Seventh level of Qi training? Are you ready to compete for the identity of core disciple?"
Lu Changan captured a key piece of information.
The core disciples of Jinyun Valley must be under forty years old, and there are only thirty places.
Most of them are strong players at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining.
Zhao Siyao was ready to try an impact after the eighth level of Qi refining.
In Jinyun Valley, the biggest advantage of core disciples is that they have priority in obtaining Foundation Establishment Pills before ordinary disciples.
Lu Changan is not very optimistic about Zhao Siyao.
First, Zhao Siyao's qualifications have no outstanding advantages compared to core disciples.
The core disciples basically have middle-grade spiritual roots and above, and a few have high-grade spiritual roots.
Secondly, Zhao Siyao's background was not advantageous. Although there were immortal cultivators in his ancestors, he was not from a family that cultivated immortals.
Not even as good as those whose parents were disciples of casual cultivators.
In the world of immortality cultivation, the phenomenon of "fighting for one's father" is very serious.
Without the help of the elders who are cultivating immortals, resources would be far behind from the beginning.
Zhao Siyao's only advantage is her excellent beauty and temperament, which makes her stand out among female cultivators.
However, if such a beautiful female disciple does not get along with a disciple with a background or is unspoken by her seniors, she will sometimes cause trouble.
…
Reply to Zhao Siyao.
Lu Changan brought three medium-grade talismans, including one high-quality one.
These three talismans are more than enough to repay the ten spiritual stones I borrowed back then.
He used the talisman to pay off debts and exchange favors, and showed his value to Zhao Siyao.
Only experienced first-level talisman masters can refine high-quality first-level mid-grade talismans, and the chance is very low.
"With Zhao Siyao's intelligence, he told you in advance about competing for core disciples. Maybe he hopes that I can help him in the future."
This letter may be a foreshadowing.
Do you want to help Zhao Siyao?
Lu Changan believes that it can be appropriately invested.
Because this is a low-risk, high-return investment.
At this stage, Zhao Siyao has not grown up yet, so it is time to help him in times of need.
Once she becomes a core disciple, her chances of advancing to the foundation-building stage are much greater than those of ordinary monks.
Suppose, Lu Changan borrows 100 spirit stones, Ergou and Lin Yi each borrow 50 spirit stones.
There are two hundred spiritual stones in total, which is not a small amount for the late stage of Qi refining, and is close to the value of a medium-grade magic weapon.
Once Zhao Siyao succeeds in building the foundation in the future, what does this spiritual stone mean?
Just say congratulations in advance.
By then, the three of them, Lu Changan, will all have backers in the foundation building period. If they want to build a foundation in the future, they will also have an expert to take care of them.
Even if Zhao Siyao failed to build the foundation.
The loss of this spiritual stone is not painful at all given Lu Changan's current worth.
Moreover, as long as the foundation building fails and the body does not die, the borrowed spirit stones... will also have to be returned.
…
After the medicine garden is fully staffed.
Lu Changan told the little girls from the Mu family how to patrol and guard and how to use formations.
In these early days of Qi refining, I have just left my identity as a fairy seedling, and I don’t understand many things.
Lu Changan often asked for step-by-step instructions.
Fortunately, Lu Changan has cultivated his health skills in this life, has a better attitude, and has not lost his temper.
"Have you heard? The head of the family is back, and the marriage talks with the Maple Leaf Yellow Family have collapsed!"
"The talks broke down? What happened?"
During the break, the three little girls from the Mu family chatted and gossiped.
"Originally, our Mu family wanted to marry the eldest daughter to Huang Yu, the young master of the Huang family, to promote cooperation between the two families. However, the Huang family was so angry that they refused to give the eldest daughter the status of 'head wife', and at most gave her an ordinary wife.
wife."
"This is unreasonable! The eldest lady is so outstanding, but she is also a talisman master... The Huang family has no sincerity at all."
"Hey, the Huang family has built three foundations, and their young master has a high-grade spiritual root. He really has the ability to be arrogant."
…
Lu Changan's senses were sharp and he also listened to a few of the little girl's gossips.
He came from a family of cultivators in his previous life, so he understood the Huang family's practices.
He even vaguely guessed the Huang family's plan...
But there is no way, the Maple Leaf Huang family is much stronger, and now it is a dangerous and weak period for the Mu family.
The identities of the two parties are completely unequal.
The surrounding cultivating families watched the fight between the Mu family and the Zheng family with cold eyes.
The balance of victory is leaning towards the Zheng family.
…
However, ten days later.
A surprising news came.
Zheng Yuanhua, the elder of the Zheng family, died mysteriously!
Zheng Yuanhua, who is at the ninth level of Qi refining, is one of the top Qi refining experts in the Zheng family.
Everyone in the Mu family raised their hands in celebration, seemingly convinced that the news was correct.
The Mu family also has internal support within the Zheng family, but their status is not high.
Family elders like Zheng Yuanhua often have soul cards in their clan.
Once someone dies outside, the family will know immediately.
Lu Changan suspected that there was a certain delay in the news.
"How did Zheng Yuanhua die? I heard that even the body was not found?"
Lu Changan felt puzzled.
The beast-control cards and the flying boat in his storage bag were both made by this person, so they are of great concern to them.
Judging from Lu Changan's experience, it would be difficult to kill Zheng Yuanhua who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining without two or three people of the same rank joining forces or taking action through foundation building.
Defeat and kill, these are two concepts.
One death and the situation is reversed!
The Mu family became tough in the frontline mining area.
Although, the young monks of the Mu family are not as good as those of the Zheng family.
But now, the Mu family has a clear advantage in terms of high-end elder-level combat power.
It can be imagined that Zheng Yuanhua's status is equivalent to Mu Renlong of the Mu family.
Not long after, news came from the front line.
The ancestors of the Zheng family and the ancestors of the Mu family restarted negotiations and reached an agreement.
The two sides ceased fighting.
The Zheng family made concessions and were willing to jointly supervise and share the associated mine "Purple Heart Copper" equally.
…
On this day, Lu Changan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the "Yuexin Island" in the center of Feiyue Lake.
"came back."
He sensed the return of the ancestor of the Mu family from afar.
This confirmed the news from the front line.
The dispute between the two major cultivating families seems to be coming to an end.
