The two of them sat down in the house, and Guan Qiaozhi cleverly served tea and water.
"Master Lu Fu lives in seclusion in the city, raising turtles and growing grass, and his life is quite leisurely."
Mu Maude took off his bamboo hat and glanced at the charming and delicate Guan Qiaozhi, feeling inexplicably depressed and melancholy.
"Senior Mu is so complimentary. Lu is just a casual cultivator with a little bit of skill. He cannot afford to be called a hermit."
Lu Changan said humbly.
The two drank spiritual tea and chatted for a while.
Many years ago, Mumud took a back seat in the family and gave up his position as head of the family to a young and powerful ninth-level Qi refining man.
"Senior Mu, if you have any instructions, you can have someone deliver the message. You don't have to come in person."
Lu Changan guessed that there must be something going on during Mumoud's visit.
"Master Lu Fu, I, the Mu family, have a favor to ask you."
Mumoud put away his emotions, his tone was solemn, and his posture was relatively low.
"beg me?"
Lu Changan asked himself, on the surface, he was a weakling at the ninth level of Qi Refining, how could he help the Mu family?
"The Mu family needs a favor from you."
Hearing this, Lu Changan guessed Mu Maude's purpose.
In the past few years, the Maple Leaf Huang family and the Mu family have gradually had friction, and the younger generations have suffered casualties from each other.
Overtly or covertly, the Huang family took action to suppress the Mu family's industry, framed and stirred up trouble, and escalated conflicts.
The Mu family tried their best to be patient.
However, the Huang family's goal is to annex the Mu family, and there is no way to avoid it.
Sooner or later, the two tribes will start a war.
In the surrounding area, the only powerful immortal cultivation force that has taken care of the Mu family is the beast-controlling Zhou family.
The Zhou family's beast-control genius "Zhou Qingxuan" owed Lu Changan a favor.
Over the years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a foundation-building monk and has taken a place in the beast-controlling Zhou family.
"Senior Mu, when Zhou Qingxuan was a girl, she did owe Lu a favor. But after so many years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a foundation-building senior, and he may not admit the childish words he made in his early years."
"If I were asked to join forces to persuade Zhou Qingxuan, I'm afraid it would be unrealistic."
Lu Changan said methodically.
There is nothing wrong with spending a favor to help the Feiyue Lake Mu family.
But he did not want to directly intervene in the dispute between the two clans and put himself in the whirlpool.
Mu Maude smiled bitterly and said: "Old man naturally knows that a small favor in the early years can hardly affect the decision-making of the Zhou family's top management. Now, the conflict between the beast-controlling Zhou family and Wan Jianzhuo family has escalated, and there is no spare time to take care of us."
"I am not contacting you this time to persuade the Zhou family to provide shelter."
He spoke in a slightly slower tone and explained why:
"We would like to privately purchase a second-level spiritual beast from the Zhou family. We don't expect a second-level spiritual beast in its prime. We can also accept an old and weak second-level spiritual beast with a short life span."
After listening, Lu Changan muttered: "If it's just a private matchmaking, you can give it a try. But I can't guarantee success, and I won't be involved in the specific transaction."
"Master Lu only needs to contact Zhou Qingxuan privately to facilitate this transaction. Whether it succeeds or not, this is the intention of the Mu family."
Mumoud squeezed out a smile on his face with age spots and handed over a bag containing spiritual stones.
Looking at the nearly 100-year-old man.
Lu Changan came from a family in his previous life and understands the sadness and hardship involved.
The Xiuxian family is maintained by blood and family ties.
When you are born in the clan, you are cultivated since childhood, practice immortality and arts, marry wives and take concubines, your descendants will flourish in this land, and you will water it with your whole life's hard work.
This is a family monk!
Be firmly bound to the family and bond for life.
"Lu was once a member of the Mu family. He was just helping to say a word. This bag of spiritual stones is not needed."
Lu Changan repeatedly declined and did not ask for the spirit stone.
Mu Maode felt very relieved. Although Lu Changan had left the Mu family, he had not misjudged the person back then.
At least he's not a heartless person.
"Huanglong Fairy City has recently held a large-scale auction. Zhou Qingxuan, on behalf of the beast-controlling Zhou family, is preparing to sell a batch of spirit beasts and cubs."
"She is currently stationed at the Zhou family's residence in the inner city. You can contact her privately. If I go there, I'm afraid it will alert the Huang family."
Mumoud explained the situation.
He had been relegated to the second line in the Mu family for many years. His life was approaching the end of his life and his body was failing, so he was not taken seriously by the Huang family.
It would be different if he showed up at the Zhou family residence.
"Senior Mu, please be careful."
The two discussed some details, and Mumud put on his bamboo hat, got up and left Shuiyue Residence.
…
Lu Changan was not in a hurry to act.
He bathed in the house, burned incense, and used potions to remove the smell of spiritual pets from his body.
Zhou Qingxuan is extremely talented in beast control, and Lu Changan taught her when she was a girl.
According to common sense, this woman can only judge what kind of spiritual beast she has raised through her sense of smell, but it is difficult to determine the actual cultivation level of the black water turtle.
But we have to guard against it.
The secrets and risks in the world of immortality are relative.
If Lu Changan was a foundation-building monk, the growth of the Black Water Turtle would be a bit abnormal, so it wouldn't be a big problem.
The Zhou family of beast control masters many secrets of cultivating spiritual beasts, so why are they afraid of others coveting them?
If it were the True Monarch Nascent Soul, the secret of Evergreen Kung would not be worried about being exposed.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan left the Xuanshui Turtle in another courtyard and asked Guan Qiaozhi to take care of it.
He was alone and entered the bustling area of the inner city.
He searched the surrounding area with his spiritual sense to make sure no one was following him.
Lu Changan changed his appearance in the inn, used body training techniques to adjust his muscles and bones, and transformed into a young man dressed in brocade.
He also used the Evergreen Gong to adjust his breath.
Experienced people may be able to see through the disguise, but they cannot see the true appearance.
Half an hour later, Lu Changan arrived at the Zhou family's residence.
The monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining and the guards at the Zhou family station cannot be ignored.
"My surname is Lu, and I am an old acquaintance with the noble elder Zhou Qingxuan. Please help me spread the news. This is a token."
Lu Changan took out an envelope, put five spiritual stones on it, and handed it to the gatekeeper monk.
In the envelope, there is a high-grade talisman of "Frostfall".
Wait for a while.
"But Mr. Lu? My master summons you to come in."
A maid from the Zhou family came out and brought Lu Changan into the station.
The Zhou family's residence is a large mansion, which can accommodate hundreds of people without any problem.
After a while, I came to a quiet courtyard.
The maid invited Lu Changan to enter the house.
This is a quiet room, with sandalwood curling up, accompanied by the feminine fragrance like fresh lotus.
A girl in a yellow dress with a beautiful face was sitting cross-legged on the futon at the head.
Not seen for more than twenty years, Zhou Qingxuan remains youthful, her appearance and temperament are better than before, she is less playful and cunning, and more dignified and bright.
"Junior Lu Changan has met Senior Zhou."
After Lu Changan entered the room, he bowed and removed his disguise in advance, otherwise he would appear disrespectful.
"Lu Changan? I remember you, the turtle talisman master."
Zhou Qingxuan chuckled lightly, showing a narrow-minded expression, breaking his dignified demeanor.
Lu Changan felt strange in his heart: This woman's temperament has not changed much. She may have almost forgotten her name, and she still relies on "Turtle Talisman Master" to recall her.
"Senior Zhou actually remembers me, Lu is so honored!"
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ignoring Lu Changan's compliment, Zhou Qingxuan spoke calmly, without any intention of reminiscing about the past.
Lu Changan was not surprised at all.
If he were a foundation-building elder, he wouldn't be interested in chatting with a junior Qi-refiner.
"Returning to Senior Zhou, the Feiyue Lake Mu family wants to buy a second-level spirit beast from a nobleman privately. We can accept an old and weak second-level spirit beast with a short life span,"
When facing high-status monks, you should be straight to the point and concise and to the point.
"Second-level spiritual beast?"
Zhou Qingxuan sneered, "Every second-level spirit beast is the heritage of the Zhou family, not to mention that our family is confronting the Wan Jianzhuo family and is in need of combat power."
