At Feiyue Villa, many clan members came to congratulate him and even sent him gifts.
"Brother, I'm very happy."
Li Ergou from next door came first, bringing his two ladies and several children.
"Congratulations to Uncle Lu, your magic power is great."
It was very lively with adults and children congratulating each other.
Lu Changan could see that Li Ergou was somewhat disappointed.
After all, he had received generous rewards and level-breaking pills for giving birth to children in the past few years, and his cultivation was once much ahead of Lu Changan.
Now, it is Lu Changan who is the first to step into the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Of course, Li Ergou was still happy from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Changan did not marry and have children, he was more qualified than him, and he had been practicing hard in a down-to-earth manner, so it was reasonable for him to be where he is today.
"Master Lu, this is your spirit pigeon flying letter."
While the two were talking, a tribal messenger sent a letter.
The letter bears the familiar Golden Cloud Valley logo.
Lu Changan opened the letter, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Brother, how's it going?" Li Ergou had a guess.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao has succeeded in building the foundation! We are invited to Jinyun Valley to participate in the small celebration of foundation building."
Lu Changan's tone was very comforting.
"Foundation Building Period!"
Despite his psychological expectations, Li Ergou couldn't help but marvel and took a deep breath.
This was a level that he didn't dare to expect, belonging to the ancestor of the family.
In terms of status, Zhao Siyao is even better than the founder of the Mu family.
…
In the direction of Feiyue Lake, a sound broke through the air, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the foundation building stage.
"Meet my uncle."
"I've met the master of the house."
"I met the elder."
Three figures, two men and one woman, landed in Lu Changan's courtyard, and the monks from the Mu family all around saluted.
The three people who came were none other than Mu Renlong, Mu Maode, and Mu Xiuyun.
One is building the foundation, and the two are refining the ninth level of Qi.
Such a scene is rare to see in Feiyue Villa.
"Lu Changan, that's very good. No need for level-breaking elixirs, he was successfully promoted to the later stage of Qi refining."
Mu Renlong, dressed in black robe, has scorching eyes, admiration on his face, and exudes a powerful aura.
"Junior is just a fluke."
Lu Changan said modestly.
It was normal for him to break through small realms step by step, without resorting to level-breaking elixirs.
The forty-five-year-old at the seventh level of Qi Refining has nothing to show off.
"Lu Changan, this is our gift."
Mumud had no expression on his face and handed over a storage bag.
"Chang'an, congratulations."
Mu Xiuyun wore a long blue gauze dress, looked elegant and quiet, and spoke softly.
Then he remained silent and stood aside.
Such a big battle today.
Lu Changan guessed that Mu Xiuyun revealed the news that she might leave the family.
This makes sense.
Although Mu Xiuyun has feelings for Lu Changan, her position ultimately belongs to her family.
She also wanted to retain Lu Changan.
"Lu Changan, let's go in and have a chat."
Mu Renlong spoke and entered the house without hesitation.
Lu Changan glanced at Mu Xiuyun, entered the room calmly, and closed the door.
Due to the restrictions imposed by the Foundation Establishment Period, no one knew what the two talked about.
During this period, Mu Xiuyun bit her red lips, her eyes filled with hope and some worry.
Mumud had a gloomy face and said nothing.
After a while.
Mu Renlong and Lu Changan came out one after another.
"Let's go."
Mu Renlong had no expression on his face and left with Mu Maode and Mu Xiuyun without any explanation.
Mu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, her delicate and beautiful face turned slightly pale, and she stepped onto the flying boat in a daze.
The wind howled.
Looking at the man in white getting smaller and smaller in the other courtyard.
Finally, she seemed to have made a decision, her starry eyes were bright and firm, and her black hair covered half of her face, and she looked back at Lu Changan for the last time.
…
Seeing Mu Xiuyun's last look, Lu Changan felt a hint of appreciation.
Because he felt Mu Xiuyun's firm Taoist heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, practicing Taoism is the foundation.
The rest are either floating clouds or passers-by.
Any qualified female cultivator is by no means a love-minded person. It may be painful to let go of a relationship, but it is not difficult.
"Brother, what did ancestor talk to you about?"
Li Ergou couldn't help but ask.
He guessed that with Lu Changan's current cultivation and fu skills, the Mu family would provide generous treatment in order to retain the talent.
Except for the two or three years when Lu Changan first joined the Mu family, he has always had a cooperative relationship with the family since then.
Over the past twenty years, countless talismans have been made for the Mu family, and the benefits and potential value created are definitely not low.
Although Lu Changan made a lot of money during this period, he earned it through his ability in talisman arts.
All in all, even if Lu Changan ends the cooperation, he will not owe anything to the Mu family.
The Mu family knew this very well.
Unless the Mu family is a family that prefers demonic ways, there is no reason to force them to stay.
Even if you are a high-grade Talisman Master, you can't talk about strategic value, and you won't be forced to impose restrictions or the like.
Moreover, the Mu family does not lack talents in talisman arts. What they really lack are senior alchemists.
Mu Renlong made two conditions for Lu Changan.
First, becoming a family worshiper, the treatment is only slightly worse than the previous Master Ge Dan.
Second, Lu Changan married the eldest daughter and became a member of the Mu family.
Murenlong has a domineering personality and has the aura to exert pressure, but there is no real coercion.
Even if it is really strong, Lu Changan is not afraid now.
Lu Changan took out Zhao Siyao's letter and said tactfully that he was going to attend his friend's "Foundation Building Celebration" and would think about it later.
After learning that Lu Changan had a very close sect member, Mu Renlong softened his tone and praised him.
Mu Renlong said that if Lu Changan wants to come back in the future, the Mu family will open the door at any time.
Lu Changan said that he was grateful to the Mu family for taking him in and would remember this affection.
In this way, both parties ended their cooperation amicably.
…
The next day.
Lu Changan and Li Ergou left Feiyue Villa to attend Zhao Siyao's "Foundation Building Celebration".
After learning about this, the senior management of the Mu family specially prepared a congratulatory gift for Ergou.
Otherwise, with Li Ergou's financial resources, he really wouldn't be able to come up with anything decent.
After leaving Mu's house for some distance.
Lu Changan no longer kept a low profile and took out the flying boat that was the trophy captured that year.
"let's go!"
Lu Changan and Li Ergou took a flying boat to Jinyun Valley.
The Zheng family back then no longer exists in the surrounding area. With Lu Changan's current cultivation strength, riding a flying boat is nothing.
Li Ergou thought it was Lu Changan who bought it himself, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Brother Lu, now that Zhao Siyao has successfully established the foundation and you have been promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining, how long will I last at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"
During the journey, Li Ergou felt depressed.
"Adjust your mentality and go out for some experience."
Lu Changan looked at him with a smile.
Sometimes, once a monk has a mental block, the current bottleneck will become deeper and deeper.
"Alas, since I changed my name, my practice and other aspects have not gone smoothly."
Li Ergou sighed.
Before changing his name to Li Changqing, he entered the Mu family like a fish in water and could even obtain rank-breaking elixirs.
Since he was promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he changed his name vigorously. First, he broke his leg while going to the front line, and then his cultivation became more and more difficult.
In recent years, his children have worried him a lot, and his relationship with his wives and concubines has become cold.
"Brother, do you want me to change my name?"
Li Ergou said coldly.
In the world of immortality, there is no such thing as superstition.
The theories of Feng Shui, Luck, and Fate have existed since ancient times. Even some major practitioners believe in them.
"What name do you want to change?"
"I don't want to change back to Ergou, it's too ugly. Brother, can you pick one for me?"
Li Ergou begged.
Lu Changan was heartbroken and said: "The name Changqing, given your qualifications and fate, may not be able to hold you back."
He once inquired: In the realm of immortality in Liang Kingdom, there was a pill-forming monk named Changqing who only lived for more than two hundred years before he died.
"Why don't you just call me Li Erqing?"
"Li Erqing? Great! I like this name."
The fat on Li Ergou's face trembled, which seemed to match his appetite, combining his two previous names.
"My name will be Li Erqing from now on."
Li Ergou made such a hasty decision.
…
Ten days later.
The flying boat landed in front of the gate of Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan handed over the token and asked the gatekeeper to deliver it.
Half an hour later.
A ray of cloudy light flew from inside the mountain gate, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the foundation building stage.
"Uncle Zhao!"
The disciple guarding the gate hurriedly saluted, thankful that he had not made any trouble just now.
"Friend Daoist Lu, Friend Daoist Li."
A graceful female cultivator with a fluttering fairy skirt and a graceful figure fell in front of Lu Changan and the other two.
After establishing the foundation, Zhao Siyao has extraordinary bearing and stunning beauty.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Lu Changan and Li Ergou bowed with their hands in hand.
Zhao Siyao waved her hand and asked the two of them to step onto the Cloud Escape Light and enter the Golden Cloud Valley.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, congratulations on establishing the foundation. This is our congratulatory gift."
Lu Changan and the other two handed over the gift boxes.
Zhao Siyao accepted the gift and looked at Lu Changan with a wry smile:
"Back then, Fellow Daoist Lu helped me a lot when I became a core disciple and went to the Black Mist Mountains for training. I wanted to give you a surprise when we met this time, but I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu had already been promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining."
"Surprise? It can't be Bi Ning Dan."
"Exactly this."
Zhao Siyao took out a jade bottle, which contained the level-breaking elixir in the late stage of Qi refining.
"Today, this 'Bi Ning Dan' will be returned to Changqing as a gift. I will look for something suitable for you next time."
After saying that, she handed the jade bottle to Li Ergou.
Back then, when Zhao Siyao was competing for core disciples, Li Ergou helped with secular tasks and also contributed.
Li Ergou took the level-breaking elixir and couldn't help but be ecstatic:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao! By the way, my name is not Changqing now, my name is Li Erqing!"
