As soon as he confirmed the information, Chief Xia subconsciously turned his attention to Qiufeng Island.
In the past two months, Lu Changan has been staying on Qiufeng Island and has never gone out.
It can be seen from this that the real killer mentioned by Lu Changan was not a friend out of thin air.
Xia Hongyu dismissed a trace of doubt in his heart and murmured: "It seems that I have thought too much..."
Lu Changan has been practicing for a long time, has superb skills, and has formed good relationships. It is normal for him to make a few real friends.
The same goes for Xia Hongyu, but among the real Taoist friends he knows, no one is willing to take the risk to deal with the fake elixir masters from the Great Chamber of Commerce.
After a brief surprise, Xia Hongyu thought for a long time and sighed again.
"It's really not easy to recruit such a powerful killer, this fellow Daoist Lu,"
He set off to escape the light and flew to Qiufeng Island.
At this time, Xia Hongyu realized that he had less contact with Lu Changan in the past, and he was more or less pretending to be a fake Danzhenren.
"Clan Chief Xia is too polite. It's just a normal transaction. Lu can at best be a middleman, so there is no need to thank you again and again."
In the main hall, Lu Changan talked with Chief Xia and exchanged greetings for a while.
He noticed that Xia Hongyu was much more enthusiastic this time and wanted to come over to communicate.
"The patriarch wants to make friends with the real assassin?"
"Unfortunately, Lu's real-life old friend has a rather special status. Moreover, he has a withdrawn temperament and does not trust other monks in Jing Kingdom except Lu."
Lu Changan found an excuse and excused himself.
Hearing this, Chief Xia showed a look of regret.
He assassinated Old Ghost Wu so simply and left no traces of evidence. The real person Lu Changan knew was probably a true alchemy monk.
"Fellow Daoist Lu previously suggested that with Wen Yue's qualifications, she should be sent to the Immortal Cultivation School in the Nascent Soul stage. Xia actually understands that that is the most correct choice for her."
Xia Hongyu smiled bitterly.
"After the last danger, Xia is ready to consider the opinions of Fellow Daoist Lu and find a suitable sect for her to cultivate immortals."
"It's hard to make a safe choice in this world. Lu is very pleased that the clan leader is upright and can consider Wen Yue's future."
Lu Changan knew in his heart that as a female cultivator, Xia Wenyue would hardly belong to the Xia family in the future once she joined the cultivating sect and entered a higher level, even if she did not marry.
In Lu Changan's previous life, a genius with earthly spiritual roots was born in his family of cultivators.
The family sent him to the sect and provided resources at any cost.
Later, after the earthly root genius formed a pill, he gradually became estranged from his family. When the family was in greatest danger, he did not lend a helping hand.
If that earthly spirit root successfully formed a baby, I'm afraid he would still be alive in the world.
Although this is just an example and cannot represent most situations. However, in the world of immortality, the higher the level, the easier it is for one's temperament to become weak.
…
Xia Hongyu changed his mind out of helplessness.
He overestimated how long it would take to hide the secret. If it were delayed for a few more decades, Xia Wenyue's cultivation would be higher and her ability to protect herself would be stronger.
At present, only the hostile Crescent Chamber of Commerce has some suspicions and cannot be completely sure.
Other forces will not pay such deliberate attention.
But in a few years, sooner or later, paper will not be able to contain the fire.
"Which sect is Chief Xia considering sending Wen Yue to?"
"Xia actually wants to send Wen Yue to the three major sects of the Jing Kingdom. Xia knows more or less real people whom he can talk to. In the Jing Kingdom itself, we can take care of each other."
Xia Hongyu smiled bitterly and said again:
"But as Fellow Daoist Lu said, Wenyue's innate Taoist body is quite special. Only in the Yuanying Sect can we have a better soil for growth."
Lu Changan understood that if there was a Yuanying sect in Jing State, it would be the most suitable choice, but unfortunately there is not.
"What sects do you recommend, fellow Daoist Lu?"
"Among the surrounding countries, the more suitable ones are Jinyang Sect, Wuya Palace, and Aoyue Palace."
Lu Changan gave his recommendation.
Jinyang Sect has an ancient inheritance and profound foundation. It has various schools of exercises and has two Nascent Souls in charge.
At the same time, after Jinyangzong entered the Liang Kingdom, it was adjacent to the Jing Kingdom.
Wuya Palace's heritage is inferior to that of Jinyang Sect, but it is now the strongest, with two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, including Chu Tianfeng who is in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
However, Wuya Palace is in Feng State, which is not adjacent to Jing State. Instead, it borders Liang State, Chen State, and Yan State at the same time, so it has a good geographical location.
Aoyue Palace is not as powerful as the first two, but it is stronger than Lihuo Palace.
The exercises in this palace tend to be of the yin and cold type, and the proportion of female cultivators reaches 60%, which is more suitable for Xia Wenyue.
The Nascent Soul Lord who is in charge of Aoyue Palace is also the only Nascent Soul female cultivator in the surrounding countries.
"Xia will seriously consider the recommendation from Fellow Daoist Lu. In addition, Wenyue is also a foundation-building monk now. As a family elder, she must be consulted for her own opinion."
Xia Hongyu has just changed his mind and needs to consider the long term.
…
Outside Qiufeng Island, inside a bedroom in an attic.
Xia Wenyue held a cracked half jade pendant in her hand, and a faint feeling of sadness appeared between the lines of Qingdai's eyebrows.
"Mother, old ghost Wu died, and you finally got your revenge. Unfortunately, it was not the old ghost who was killed by my daughter herself."
After being promoted to the foundation-building stage, Xia Wenyue used her identity as a foundation-building elder to find out the cause of her mother's death that year, which was plotted by Old Ghost Wu of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
At that time, Xia's mother had outstanding beauty and good qualifications, and was expected to be in the later stage of foundation building. However, she fell into the enemy's trap during an operation and died in a battle of wits.
"As for your last words... let Wenyue go to her father's family. I forgive the child for being unfilial and unable to comply."
Xia Wenyue bit her red lips lightly, the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyes were shining brightly.
Xia Wenyue's biological father's identity, she already knows the approximate origin based on the forbidden relic set by her mother.
After the foundation building period, she broke through the restriction on relics and learned her mother's last words.
The mother mentioned that if she could solve the root cause of the disease and reach the foundation-building stage, it would be best for her to join her biological father's family in the future.
However, based on Xia Wenyue's inquiries over the years and the little information revealed by Patriarch Xia, we came to an uncomfortable truth:
Xia Wenyue's father came from a large family of immortal cultivators in Chen State. He traveled to Jing State and met Xia Wenyue's mother by chance. They fell in love at first sight and fell in love.
The man left a promise: after returning to the clan, he told his elders that he would marry Xia Wenyue's mother within three years.
However, decades passed and the man never came to Jing Country again.
Xia Wenyue realized that her biological father was a playboy who played with emotions.
A complete scumbag.
If it's just a casual relationship, that's it.
Why did she make a solemn oath and promise and make her mother wait so hard for so many years?
Xia Wenyue's dream of finding her biological father was shattered.
…
Late at night the next day, the rock rat quietly returned to Qiufeng Island.
Also returning with him was Xing Peng, the incense master of Wujianmen.
"Mr. Lu, this rat... the real rat! He is truly a born assassin!"
"Master Mouse is good at hiding, his speed and agility are higher than those of his kind, and his timing of attack is just right. If he is carefully trained in the Wujian Sect, he is expected to become the top assassin of the Holy Sect."
The hooded man walked out of the shadows and was full of praise for the rock rat's performance in this operation.
He also felt a little more in awe of Lu Changan.
In this assassination, the Earth Rock Rat maintained the normal strength of the great demon in the early stage of the true elixir. It was nothing more than more agile and faster than the rat demon of the same level.
Even so, Lu Changan, who possesses the true elixir demon, is an invisible fright to Master Xing Pengxiang.
With the detailed information provided by Wujian Sect and the instructions from Master Xing Pengxiang, the Earth Rock Rat attacked and killed Old Ghost Wu, and the two met and solved the problem.
First, use the third-level earth spell to imprison the room where Old Ghost Wu is.
Then he emerged from the ground and killed them at close range.
The rock rat has also learned to poison, applying poison to its claws.
squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat held a storage bag in his mouth and brought it to Lu Changan.
"Well, that's good. I know how to destroy suspicious things."
Lu Changan's consciousness scanned the storage bag and took a brief look. The loot was at the level of ordinary fake elixirs.
Xing Peng's eyelids moved and he didn't dare to say a word.
"You don't have any secrets, do you?"
"No."
The Earth Rock Rat shook his head and responded in a childish voice.
It was just a few bites taken by the way, not a private collection.
It was almost the same. Lu Changan didn't care much and took 30% of the harvest from the storage bag.
The Earth Rock Rat is a third-level demon, and there are not many items on the body of the fake elixir that catch the eye.
Except for spiritual stones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, some elixirs, and other trophies, they have little appeal to the Earth Rock Rat.
For example, magic weapons, talismans, quasi-third-level or low-level third-level talismans, etc.
"Huh!"
Lu Changan found a little surprise in the storage bag.
There are actually two second-level longevity pills inside, which may be auction items prepared by the Crescent Merchant Guild.
"You take one too."
Lu Changan took another 20% of the harvest as payment for Xing Peng's hard work.
Xing Peng, the fake elixir master, the incense master of Wujian Sect, can’t give me anything too shabby.
"Thank you Mr. Lu for the gift."
Xing Peng was so flattered that he tipped off Lu Chang'an and worked for free for several years, which finally paid off.
Lu Changan returned the remaining 50% of the loot to the storage bag to the Earth Rock Rat.
"Squeak! Thank you, master."
The rock rat was not dissatisfied and happily accepted the storage bag.
Ever since he had the opportunity to make extra money, the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation speed has become much faster than before.
The body structures of monsters and humans are different. Even if you directly swallow some heavenly materials, earthly treasures, medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, you can still have good effects.
The ability to digest and detoxify is far superior to humans.
Rats are omnivores, and they eat both meat and vegetables.
As for human monks, it is best to refine spiritual herbs into elixirs and take them to obtain more pure and gentle essence of heaven and earth.
Some elixirs for humans may not be suitable for monsters.
After reaching a higher level and transforming into another form, the needs for most elixirs gradually began to be unified.
After sending Xing Peng away, Lu Changan returned to the secret room and took two second-level longevity pills.
"Extend your life by three years."
"Extend your life by two years."
After a while, Lu Changan's face remained calm and he opened his eyes.
The upper limit of life span is increased to 507 years.
"The effect of ordinary second-level life-extending pills has almost reached its end. From now on, we must focus on the second-level quality life-extending pills."
Many years ago, I took a second-level quality life-extending pill, which extended my life for twenty-eight years without the debilitating effects of ordinary second-level pills.
…
Ten months later, Lu Changan turned one hundred and sixty-four years old.
In the past six months, Wufu Chamber of Commerce has been in a good situation, and all the previous problems have been solved.
The main reason is that the rival Crescent Chamber of Commerce is unlucky.
Originally, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce had two fake elixir masters, and its industrial power was more than twice that of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
Wu Laogui, the most powerful man, was killed. The Crescent Chamber of Commerce could not suppress the existing industry, and its competing hostile forces took advantage of the situation.
The bodyguard force of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce faced heavy losses, and several bodyguards in the foundation-building period who were good at fighting were killed in one fell swoop.
The Wufu Chamber of Commerce made a little effort and easily regained the distribution of industrial interests that had been controversial in the past.
Wufu Chamber of Commerce has two fake Dan real people who are annexing and expanding. In the next few years, they will definitely catch up with Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
The Xin tribe, one of the Five Blessings, became honest and low-key after the murder of Mr. Wu. They followed the Xia family as their leader and stopped making trouble.
With the Chamber of Commerce going smoothly, the Xin people all benefited from it, eating meat and drinking soup.
Two months ago, the Xin people took the initiative to propose marriage to the Xia family, hoping that Xia Wenyue could marry him.
In response, Xia refused without hesitation.
Then, the Xin tribe proposed remarriage, hoping that Xia Shenglan would return.
Xia refused again.
In the end, only two couples in the Qi Refining Period were allowed to marry, and a new generation female from the Xin tribe married into the Xia family.
The Wufu Chamber of Commerce is internally stable, the external crisis has been resolved, and the situation is stable and making progress.
In the last few years when Lu Changan cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building, he established a stable cultivation environment.
He formed elixirs in the Kingdom of Jing, and his third-level spiritual veins were indispensable. He had to have a clean identity and be recommended by the Chamber of Commerce to apply, which would make it easier to pass.
…
This evening.
The clan leader Xia Hongyu visited again and had a secret talk with Chief Lu.
This secret conversation was not limited to the two of them, Xia Wenyue, the person involved, was also present.
After sorting out the information and thinking deeply, Xia Wenyue decided to join Aoyue Palace.
In fact, Xia Wenyue's age and cultivation level are not in line with the normal range of disciples accepted by major sects.
When the sect recruits disciples, most of them start training them from their youth, and they are basically no longer needed when they are older.
However, those with particularly top-notch qualifications, such as earthly spiritual roots and innate Taoist bodies, can break these rules.
As long as the origin is innocent and the potential is not lost, the sect will be happy to accept it.
"Why choose Aoyue Palace?"
Of the three sects Lu Changan had previously recommended, Aoyue Palace may not be the best.
He is optimistic about Jinyang Sect.
The Jinyang Sect is located in the Liang Kingdom, adjacent to the Jing Kingdom. It has a long history, the deepest foundation, and is compatible with various schools.
Aoyue Palace's strength is also good, but it needs to be a little more "scientific".
There is another important reason. Li Erqing's son "Mu Jiu'an" is a member of the Jinyang Sect. He has a certain sect background and can take care of Xia Wenyue.
"Wen Yue heard that the female cultivators in Aoyue Palace have a higher status. Moreover, the sect has more training resources suitable for Yinhan Kung Fu."
Xia Wenyue lowered her head and said softly.
Between the blue silk temples and the picturesque profile of the face, there is an imperceptible rosiness, like a natural blush.
Over the years, Xia Wenyue gradually learned the secrets of her Tao body, including the role of Taiyin Jade Liquid.
She also understood Lu Changan's plan.
In Aoyue Palace, female nuns not only receive better treatment, but also tend to have more independent marriages.
The temptations faced by men and women are also much smaller.
"Mr. Lu has been kind to me again. The oath made by the demon in my heart cannot be broken."
"Moreover, Mr. Lu has a noble character and is untainted. He has been with me day and night for many years. He has been caring and caring to me, and he has never exceeded his standards in the slightest."
"I have never seen... him having emotional entanglements with other female cultivators."
Xia Wenyue's good impression of Lu Changan began with his appearance and temperament. She was grateful for his medical skills and respected his noble character.
Where can I find such a good person in the world?
Compared with his ruthless and unjust father, there is a huge difference.
Xia Wenyue chose Aoyue Palace in order to maintain her integrity and fulfill her oath.
At the same time, she believes that a better version of herself in the future will be worthy of Lu Changan.
"Well, looking at it this way, Aoyue Palace is suitable for you."
Lu Changan didn't know what Xia Wenyue was thinking, but he ultimately supported her choice.
"Without further delay, I want to take Wen Yue to Feng Country as soon as possible."
Clan leader Xia Hongyu is inevitably a little anxious.
A few days ago, the Xin tribe proposed to marry Xia Wenyue, which was probably a test.
Not long after Xia Wenyue was attacked, Wu Laogui from the Crescent Chamber of Commerce was mysteriously killed. The Xin tribe, also one of the Five Blessings, as a competitor, may have given rise to speculation.
The secret of Xia Wenyue's higher qualifications can no longer be concealed.
"Take care on your way."
Lu Changan presented two third-level low-grade talismans to Xia Wenyue, one for escape and one for defense.
As for the attack talisman, it is difficult to control her cultivation level, and there are talismans prepared for her by the clan leader.
The third-level talisman given by Lu Changan came from the spoils of war. Even if his talisman has lost some of its potential, he will not give it away easily.
Especially since Xia Wenyue is going to a Nascent Soul-level sect, the origin of the treasure talisman inheritance may be revealed.
"Friend Lu Dao, please rest assured that now that the war is over, cross-border borders are much safer than before. Especially the border direction of Feng Kingdom has been vigorously rectified since Chu Tianfeng entered the main Feng Kingdom."
Xia Hongyu is confident in this. The Chamber of Commerce also has a relatively safe route.
Many years ago, he traveled to surrounding Immortal Cultivation Countries and had rich experience in going out.
Lu Changan nodded slightly. In peaceful times, it was relatively safe for False Dan Zhenren to go to the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Countries.
The direction the two of them went was towards the southeast, which was not within the scope of activities of the Demon Cult.
…
A few nights later, Xia Hongyu and Xia Wenyue left quietly.
Lu Changan asked the rock rat to follow them for a distance to ensure that the two of them were near the Xia family and were not targeted.
On the surface, Xia Hongyu claimed to be in seclusion.
Lu Changan left a shadow of Xia Wenyue's illusory talisman at Xia Wenyue's residence on the outskirts of Qiufeng Island.
You can hide it for a while, just for a while.
Once anyone knows that Xia Hongyu and Xia Wenyue left at the same time, their guess will be confirmed.
A few months later.
Rumors that Xia Wenyue possesses earthly spiritual roots or an innate Taoist body gradually spread around her.
Wujianmen has paid some attention to this information.
Fortunately, Xing Pengxiang manages the surrounding area, and the Wujianmen secret agent responsible for this matter is his subordinate.
Lu Changan asked Xing Peng that this news can only be regarded as secondary information for Wujianmen and will not affect the overall situation.
Genius intelligence coming from various places is not uncommon.
Jingguo sects and business alliance executives will also pay attention to this matter.
Shortly after.
Two of the three major sects of the Jing Kingdom sent real people to Qingshawan to visit and ask about Xia Wenyue.
There are also inquiries from unknown persons.
Guild President Xia Yongzhong and Young Master Xia Mingqu are responsible for dealing with these matters.
After learning that Xia Wenyue had gone to Aoyue Palace, the representatives of those cultivating immortal forces were not embarrassed, congratulated her on the way, and made good friends.
…
This turmoil is about to subside soon.
Two months later, Xia from Wufu Chamber of Commerce unexpectedly received an uninvited guest.
"Wufu Chamber of Commerce should be damned!"
In the Jiugang Sky above the clouds, a huge iron fan magic weapon shuttled rapidly. On it was a young man in a splendid robe and handsome features, with a gloomy face.
"The innate Taoist body... that is Xie's outstanding descendant who lives outside the country. The Xia family actually took it upon themselves to seek the far away, and sent Xie's daughter to Aoyue Palace!"
