The Yinxian Pavilion stronghold that Lin Yi mentioned is located in a valley a hundred miles south of Hengshui City.
The distance was not far, and the two of them flew directly with their weapons.
A misty illusion array was set up in the valley, and the two entered an underground palace. The inner walls of the corridors were inlaid with luminous pearls.
"Spirit Gathering Array, small spiritual land? Brother Lin is quite creative."
Lu Changan looked around and admired.
Before entering the underground palace, he scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found no ambush.
"Haha, I was lucky enough to discover this underground spring a few years ago, so I can cultivate the spiritual land. Of course, the cultivation effect here is definitely not as good as the first-level spiritual veins."
Lin Yi laughed and said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
Fortunately discovered?
Lu Changan smiled and said nothing, unless he was very lucky, it would be impossible to easily discover a spring hidden deep underground.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Lu."
Lin Yi sighed and revealed the truth, "I learned about this underground spring from a casual cultivator after I killed him. In order to facilitate cultivation, I simply built a stronghold here."
There are many stone halls in the underground palace. On the way, I met two ordinary martial arts masters.
"Pavilion Master."
When I walked to a stone hall, there was someone guarding the door. It was a casual cultivator from the second floor of Qi Refining.
Lin Yi nodded and led Lu Changan into the stone palace.
There was a pungent smell of herbs and charcoal fire.
Lu Changan took a closer look and saw that there was an alchemy furnace deep in the stone hall, with some spiritual charcoal placed underneath.
In front of the alchemy furnace, a slovenly man with unkempt hair and a dirty face was sitting. His legs were broken at the knees, and he was controlling the fire under the alchemy furnace.
"Pavilion Master Lin."
The sloppy man turned his head, respectful and flattering.
"Fellow Daoist Lu...is here too?"
Seeing Lu Changan, the slovenly man was startled for a moment, then showed a flattering smile.
"Shaferon?"
Lu Changan was taken aback and barely recognized the other party's identity from the haggard face.
"That's right, it's Xia Feilun."
Lin Yi affirmed with a smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Lu should be very curious as to how he got here."
"Two months ago, this man was beaten a hundred times by Jin Yungu and was expelled from the sect. After leaving the sect, the casual cultivators who had been cheated by bad pills and poisonous pills gathered to take revenge and beat him seriously. In the end, he was seriously injured.
, I would like to rescue him and provide him with a stable job..."
Lin Yi explained the cause and effect.
During the narration, Xia Feilun secretly cast a pleading look at Lu Changan.
Lu Changan glanced at his legs, which were broken at the knees and were too flat.
His cultivation level dropped to the second level of Qi Refining, and there seemed to be restrictions placed on him.
Lu Changan was thoughtful and did not plead for Xia Feilun.
I went to Juxianlou for an appointment ten years ago.
As an alchemy apprentice, Xia Feilun relied on his status and looked down upon the three of them, and even made fun of Lu Changan.
He also tried to sell bad pills to Lu Changan and others.
Who could have expected that Lin Yi would now be caught in a dark room and become an alchemy tool maker.
"Brother Xia, work hard. As long as you refine elixirs for me for twenty years and repay the kindness of saving my life, I will let you go back and reunite with your wife and daughter."
Lin Yi laughed, feeling happy.
Leave the Alchemy Stone Hall.
Lu Changan sold a batch of talismans to Lin Yi.
In the past, Lin Yi mainly bought basic talismans and first-level talismans.
This time I bought a small amount of medium-grade talismans.
Rejected Lin Yi's invitation to become deputy pavilion master again.
Lu Changan controlled the magic weapon and left the stronghold of Yinxian Pavilion.
…
Half a month later, Lu Changan rode a Lingju horse and galloped on the official road.
A long carriage appeared in the distance.
Lu Changan didn't think much and prepared to pass by each other until he sensed mana fluctuations from more than one source.
Are there any cultivators?
Lu Changan thought for a while and rode into the nearby forest.
Not long after, a convoy of at least hundreds of people came over.
Most of the people in the convoy were mortals, but at least one or twenty of them had mana fluctuations on their bodies.
"Hey! Zheng Centipede!"
Sitting on a tall spiritual horse was a dark-skinned strong man with a centipede-like scar on his cheek that almost spread to his neck.
This person is the only remaining ninth-level qi-training elder of the Zheng family.
Lu Changan had an impression because twelve years ago, Zheng Centipede led a team to intercept and kill their batch of fairy seedlings.
In that battle that year, only six of the ten immortal seedlings died.
Lu Changan was using the Evergreen Kung Fu, and his aura was converging, resembling a dead tree. Even Zheng Centipede, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, could not detect his prying eyes.
"Is Zheng Centipede leading his tribe to migrate?"
Looking back at the conflict between the two clans three years ago, the Zheng family of Zhuye Mountain surrendered to the Maple Leaf Huang family.
At this moment, Zheng Centipede led his clan members to leave. Apparently he did not want to succumb to others and planned to find another place to develop and continue the Zheng family as a family of immortals.
If they continue to rely on the Huang family, the fate awaiting the Zheng family is to be completely annexed by the former.
Lu Changan came from a cultivating family in his previous life, and he understands the importance these families place on bloodline inheritance.
The convoy has gone far.
Lu Changan was about to continue on his way.
At this time, two more spirited horses appeared on the official road, a man and a woman walking slowly, sometimes looking around or checking to see if there were any pursuers behind them.
"The journey was uneventful. The Mu and Huang families didn't do anything. For the sake of the Zhou family, maybe they really let us go."
One of them, a middle-aged man with a round face who was at the sixth level of qi training, said.
"It's a pity that Yan'er's revenge has not been avenged. Now that I'm gone, I won't be able to take revenge for a long time in my lifetime."
The ugly woman at the fifth level of Qi Refining next to her said with an unwilling expression.
"Revenge? How many times have you mentioned it along the way? Then Lu Changan has been hiding in Mu's house, how could he give you a chance?"
The round-faced middle-aged man said impatiently.
He also wanted to avenge his sister Zheng Feng, but he didn't expect Lu Changan to be so stubborn. He hadn't heard of him coming out in the past ten years.
"Do you think Lu has been avoiding your revenge these years?"
A voice that was partly surprised and partly funny sounded.
"who!"
Zheng Feng and Zheng Dong were shocked.
I saw a young man in white robe riding a spirit horse, coming out of the forest in a leisurely manner.
"Lu Changan?!"
The ugly woman Zheng Feng's eyes widened, she was startled for a moment, then her eyes almost split, and she showed a cruel smile.
"There is a road to heaven and you don't take it, but it comes to your door?"
Zheng Feng rubbed his eyes, the fat on his face trembled, and he almost suspected that he was hallucinating.
In her sleep, she met Lu Changan more than once or twice.
"What is the taste?"
Zheng Dong's nose was loose and he felt something was wrong. His body suddenly became limp and he had difficulty breathing.
"It's not good, it's poisonous..."
Brown spots appeared on the faces of the two people, and their bodies were shaky.
"Little thief! You actually poisoned——"
Looking at Lu Changan who was upwind, Zheng Feng looked resentful and struggled to get the detoxification pill from the storage bag.
Tsk! Tsk!
The flying shuttle, a medium-grade magic weapon, flashed through the air like cold electricity, and two blood flowers splashed about ten feet.
Before the poison of "Marrow Corrosion Powder" could fully take effect, Lu Changan raised his knife and chopped off the heads of the two men.
He stepped forward and took out their storage bags.
Lu Changan rode the Lingju horse, attached a wind speed charm, and rode away in the wind.
Zheng Centipede on the other side is a mile or two away from here, and Lu Changan is not worried about being caught up.
…
After a while.
Zheng Centipede, sensing something was wrong, flew through the air with his sword.
Seeing the two corpses festering on the ground, Zheng Centipede looked ugly and looked around warily.
"This is...the poison of Marrow Corrosion Powder?"
After carefully examining the body, Zheng Centipede couldn't help but exclaimed.
He knew that Zheng Yuanhua had this kind of poison in his hands.
Zheng Yuanhua died mysteriously during the operation to assist Master Ge Dan. They later suspected that he died at the hands of the evil cultivator Liang Shaotian.
Because at that point, the ancestors of both families were in the frontline mining area.
The Mu family only has one ninth-level Qi refining member in the family, so it is impossible to threaten Zheng Yuanhua's life.
Zheng Centipede's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he had no idea for a short time.
He did not dare to stay, and moved with his clansmen in fear, fearing that the Mu family or the Huang family would not let go of his lineage.
…
"This is the harvest? It seems that the Zheng family is quite poor."
Half an hour later, Lu Changan cleaned up the loot in the storage bag.
In the two middle stages of Qi refining, only less than a hundred spiritual stones, three low-grade magic weapons, and other elixirs and other resources were provided.
Those three low-grade magic weapons can only be sold later if there is an opportunity.
Lu Changan decided to take revenge when he saw that the two of them were alone and neither of them had advanced to the advanced stage of Qi refining, so they could be easily killed.
Moreover, the Zheng family, who have moved out of poverty, do not have the ability to take revenge even if it is speculated that he is the murderer in the future.
…
Ten days later.
Lu Changan returned to Feiyue Villa and asked about the situation of the Zheng family.
The Zheng family lineage has indeed migrated away.
It is said that in order to relocate safely, Zheng Centipede personally went to the Zhou family to plead for mercy.
The children of the two clans had intermarried, and the Zhou family did not want the Huang family to grow in power, so they spoke out to prevent the two clans from pursuing the Zheng family's migration.
Return to your residence in the other courtyard.
Lu Changan took out a spiritual pet bag from his arms and opened the bag.
squeak!
A huge brown rat demon jumped out of the spiritual pet bag.
It's the rock rat.
"I've raised you for three years, but you haven't been promoted to the late first level. If you don't break through, I will sell you to the mine."
Lu Changan threatened, took out a 200-year-old spiritual fruit from the storage bag, and threw it to the rock rat.
"Zhizhi..."
The rock rat's eyes were bright as it ate the spiritual fruit crazily.
Since the precious medicinal materials on hand cannot be sold as stolen goods, it is better to feed them to spiritual pets, even though they are a bit of a waste.
Lu Changan waved his hand and asked the rock rat to crawl underground from the basement of the house.
Two years ago, he signed a spiritual pet contract with the Earth Rock Rat, no longer needing to rely on the Beast Taming Card.
He bought the spiritual pet bag from a tribesman at Jiuyuelou.
Because the Beastmaster Zhou family is the overlord in the neighborhood, some spiritual pets or spiritual pet bags are relatively popular in the surrounding area.
