Lu Changan nodded to Shopkeeper Xu and followed the boy away.
Although Zhuye Shanfang City was founded by the Huang family, all forces are intertwined, and many have backgrounds from a family of cultivators and even sect monks.
Even Young Master Huang would not dare to act recklessly.
Moreover, Lu Changan has a favor from Zhou Qingxuan, a person that even Young Master Huang wants to curry favor with.
…
"Master Lu Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In the private room of the wine shop, Young Master Huang, who was dressed in a purple jade robe and had an extraordinary appearance, looked at Lu Changan with a pair of red and phoenix eyes with a smile.
A year ago, Huang Yu met Lu Changan. At that time, he regarded him as an ordinary talisman master and didn't pay much attention to him.
It wasn't until Lu Changan refined the "Frost Descent" talisman and received a favor from Zhou Qingxuan that he officially entered Young Master Huang's sight.
"Young Master Huang invites me, I don't know..."
"No hurry, no hurry! Try the Qingzhu Spirit Wine that has been brewed for a hundred years."
Young Master Huang behaved politely, took out a black jade wine jar, and personally drank wine for Lu Changan.
Young Master Huang picked up the wine glass and drank first as a token of respect.
Lu Changan had no time to think and drank a glass.
I just feel the taste is refreshing, and a trace of pure wood spirit ferments in my stomach, nourishing my internal organs.
"Good wine." Lu Changan praised.
"Brother Lu is so happy."
A flash of surprise flashed in Young Master Huang's eyes, and he spoke eloquently:
"This century-old green bamboo spirit wine is a specialty of Zhuye Mountain. It requires brewing bamboo shoots from first-grade high-quality spirit bamboo, which ordinary people cannot buy."
Young Master Huang secretly admired Lu Changan's straightforwardness and ease.
In the subsequent topic, Young Master Huang asked about Lu Changan's situation in Mujia and Fang City, and mostly praised him.
If it hadn't been for the situation a year ago, Lu Changan would have almost thought that this was a polite and virtuous corporal and an approachable young master.
Over three drinks.
Young Master Huang's fair face glowed slightly as he pushed a jade box in front of Lu Changan.
"It's a little careful, please accept it, Brother Lu."
"Young Master Huang, what are you..."
When Lu Changan opened the jade box and took a look, he couldn't help but be moved.
In the jade box, there are four crystal clear spiritual stones, which look like rare gems.
This is a medium-grade spiritual stone.
One piece can be exchanged for at least 100 low-grade spiritual stones, often with a fluctuation of more than 10%.
That’s equivalent to more than four hundred spiritual stones.
For the later stage of Qi refining, it is a huge sum.
In addition to the medium-grade spiritual stone, there is also a small porcelain bottle in the jade box, with three words on the label: Bi Ning Dan
"The level-breaking elixir for the late stage of Qi refining!"
Lu Changan was secretly surprised that Young Master Huang had such a big hand!
The other party's intentions are clear at a glance.
Such a price is more than enough to recruit a top-grade Talisman Master.
"I believe Brother Lu understands the principle of 'good birds choose trees to roost in'. Even if someone is as talented as you, will the Mu family give you the level-breaking elixir in the future?"
Young Master Huang was calm and relaxed, smiling leisurely.
If Lu Changan were an ordinary monk, he would never be able to resist such temptation.
Young Master Huang is right.
It is almost impossible for Lu Changan, a person with a foreign surname, to obtain the level-breaking elixir in the late stage of Qi refining in the Mu family.
Within the Mu family alone, there are countless monks lined up.
A few years ago, the eldest daughter of the Mu family obtained the level-breaking elixir because of her meritorious service in the medicine garden, and was promoted to the late stage of Qi training.
Lu Changan is currently at the fifth level of Qi refining. After reaching the sixth level of Qi refining, he will also face a later bottleneck.
It's just that Young Master Huang couldn't think of it at all.
Lu Changan re-cultivated in the third generation, Evergreen Kung Fu step by step, the foundation is extremely solid, and it is possible to break through the later stages of Qi training without the need for level-breaking elixirs.
What limits his cultivation speed is time.
"Young Master Huang is disappointed. Lu has been practicing in the Mu family for more than ten years and cannot do anything to betray the family."
Lu Changan took a deep breath and looked away from the jade box with difficulty.
The smile on Young Master Huang's face condensed.
I never expected that such a price could not lure Lu Changan.
When he scouted Lu Changan, he mainly focused on two things:
First, Lu Changan has a good talent in talisman arts. He is a talented person. He is good at some relatively unpopular and difficult talismans, which enhances the competitiveness of Mu's Talisman Shop.
If Lu Changan Fu Yi takes a step further and joins forces with Mu Xiuyun, the Mu family will be significantly improved.
It is reflected in the growth of financial resources and the reserve of high-quality talismans.
Once Lu Changan is poached, it will be a blow to the Mu family.
Second, Lu Changan has a favor from the genius granddaughter of the Zhou family. If he can make good use of it, it will be helpful to the Huang family's strategy.
"Haha! I understand!"
Young Master Huang's thoughts whirled and he suddenly realized.
"Don't you just like Mu Xiuyun? That's why you are willing to follow her?"
"Don't worry! When I, the young master, get her, I will reward you as my concubine in the future. By then, your path to immortality will be clear and you will have a beautiful woman back home. How beautiful will it be?"
At the end of the sentence, Young Master Huang put his hands on his hands and smiled.
With the ambiguity of a man, he thought he could see through Lu Changan's thoughts.
After all, when he first met that gentle and beautiful lady in Fangshi, he was amazed and even slightly regretted not marrying her back home.
"Young Master Huang, don't make such jokes casually."
Lu Changan looked worried and stood up to say goodbye.
After two lifetimes of cultivation and reincarnation, Lu Changan's original intention has not changed.
Although I dare not say that I have never killed innocent people in my previous two lives, I have never failed others.
He has lived in the Mu family for more than ten years. He may run away in times of crisis, but he has not yet committed any betrayal.
Of course, having a bottom line does not mean he is benevolent.
Lu Changan holds grudges very much and basically avenges him.
Once you have enough strength, you can strike swiftly and without mercy.
"This kid..."
Young Master Huang's expression was gloomy, he didn't expect that Lu Changan would not be able to get enough of him.
Beforehand, he had investigated Lu Changan, who was quite alone and usually did not leave the main gate of Fangshi.
Such people are not so easy to handle.
…
Leave the pub.
Lu Changan returned to Mu's Talisman Shop.
He immediately went to the third floor and told Mu Xiuyun about the matter, but did not mention the specific details.
Lu Changan did this to prevent Young Master Huang from planning to divorce him later.
Even if he didn't tell what happened today, Mu Xiuyun would know about it sooner or later.
Young Master Huang may even deliberately publicize it to the outside world to cause bad blood between Lu Changan and the Mu family.
"Chang'an, thank you!"
Mu Xiuyun smiled brightly, her starry eyes moving with a moving expression.
The voice is soft and graceful, soothing to the heart.
"In order to poach you, Young Master Huang must have offered a very high price. The Mu family was very lucky to be able to recruit you into the clan back then."
The fragrance like cinnamon or orchid comes in, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Mu Xiuyun walked closer, with gentle eyes, stretched out a plain hand and touched the back of his hand.
Lu Changan felt the beauty's creamy skin and her bare hands, as cool as jade.
Wearing a long blue gauze dress, the graceful and elegant young lady, with her starry eyes lowered and her face as clear as clouds, is incredibly beautiful.
Although he was cultivating his health, his calm inner lake also had a slight ripple.
"It should be so. Without the cultivation of the Mu family, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Lu Changan remained calm and let go of his hand.
Give up and exit the room.
Mu Xiuyun was startled for a moment, her face was as red as fire, she bit her thin lips lightly and stopped talking.
Looking at Lu Changan's back, her eyes were dark, and then she fell into deep thought again.
…
"call!"
"This place is really different from the rest of the clan. In just half a day, we faced such a huge temptation."
Returning to the room on the second floor, Lu Changan couldn't help but sigh.
First, there was Young Master Huang’s exorbitant bribery.
Then came the eldest lady, who was as beautiful as jade.
Just now, if Lu Changan had followed the trend, he would have fallen in love with Mu Xiuyun.
Of course, Mu Xiuyun's approach to buying beauty is very different from that of Young Master Huang.
Since the battle in the Medicine Garden, he had been vaguely aware of the eldest lady's trust and affection for him.
After arriving at Fangshi, Mu Xiuyun did not hesitate to lose money and asked Lu Changan to practice high-grade talismans.
If Lu Changan could get married, it would be the best of both worlds for Mu Xiuyun.
Entering the family of a married woman is indeed a development idea.
But Lu Changan doesn't want to have so many worries in this life.
If you have a long lifespan and stable management, you have a good chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage.
…
Have no desires and seek nothing but lightness.
Lu Changan's life in Fangshi was carefree.
Half a month later.
Lu Changan and Shopkeeper Xu were sitting in the teahouse chatting.
"Brother Lu, with your age and qualifications, if we don't give it a try in this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the foundation-building stage for the rest of my life."
Shopkeeper Xu, who was born with white hair, sighed.
"Oh, what do you think, Shopkeeper Xu?"
Lu Changan smiled slightly and made a listening gesture.
As the head of Nishang Pavilion, Shopkeeper Xu is the core figure of a Qi Refining family.
A hundred years ago, their clan also had a foundation-building period, but it later declined.
This clan has a foundation-building legacy and is in the late stage of digital Qi refining, so its strength cannot be underestimated.
"Brother Lu, let me tell you a secret."
Shopkeeper Xu lowered his voice and communicated through the voice channel.
"I found a hidden treasure house suspected to be left by the Zheng family under the ruins a hundred miles away from Zhuye Mountain."
"The Zheng family's hidden treasure house?"
Lu Changan was dubious.
However, the surrounding area was once the territory of the Zheng family. The clan was plundered by evil cultivators and later almost exterminated by the Mu family. It is not unusual to have a hidden treasure house.
Lu Changan's eyes flickered: "Why did Shopkeeper Xu tell me such a secret?"
"To be honest, the hidden treasure house has powerful restrictions, which are difficult to break in a short time, and are easy to leak. If I seek help from other powerful monks, I may not be able to guarantee my own interests."
"Brother Lu is not high in cultivation, has a reliable character, and has a talisman to help him break the restrictions. He is Xu's most ideal partner."
