The five-year agreement between Lu Changan and Mumud has expired.
After becoming a first-level talisman master, Lu Changan was ready to negotiate terms with the Mu family.
However, after waiting for half a month, no one from Mu Maude or the top management of the Mu family expressed their opinions.
But this day.
Mu Xiuyun's maid came to the door and said that the eldest lady asked him to go out to discuss the Tao of Talisman.
The location is at the "Weeping Willow Pavilion" by Feiyue Lake.
"The eldest daughter of the Mu family is dating me?"
To be honest, Lu Changan didn't want to get too close to Mu Xiuyun.
Especially dating between an orphan and an orphan can easily lead to suspicion.
…
Half an hour later.
When Lu Changan came to the shores of Feiyue Lake, which was shaded by green willows, an almost half-hanging pavilion came into view.
"Is this the Weeping Willow Pavilion?" Lu Changan glanced at the plaque.
"Mr. Lu, please go to the third floor."
A girl's voice, as clear as a spring, came from the attic.
The third floor of the pavilion is in the form of a hanging garden, facing the magnificent Feiyue Lake.
Lu Changan originally thought it was a private tryst.
It turns out that he thought too much.
Except for wearing a plain skirt, Mu Xiuyun looks gentle and elegant.
There is also a girl in blue clothes, with a beautiful oval face, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with a bright and charming charm.
Lu Changan felt familiar.
I quickly remembered that this was the first time I went to the Jiuyue Building and the girl in the red dress next to Mu Xiuyun.
"She is Mu Yinglan, you have met her before."
Mu Xiuyun introduced with a smile.
Mu Yinglan, Lu Changan heard it from Li Ergou.
This woman is quite famous. Among the young women with spiritual roots in the Mu family, her appearance and temperament are second only to Mu Xiuyun.
"Master Lu." Mu Yinglan bowed with a soft voice.
"Miss Mu."
Lu Changan returned the gift, feeling strange.
The last time we met was two or three years ago, when Mu Yinglan didn't have a good attitude towards him.
This time, the woman seemed to be a different person.
Dressed up, soft and charming.
Sensing Lu Changan's probing gaze, Mu Yinglan blushed slightly.
However, she was not Xiaojiabiyu's type, and she boldly looked at Lu Changan with her bright eyes.
When we meet again today, our mentality is different.
Mu Yinglan's eyes lit up.
Lu Changan is not only handsome, but also has a special temperament, indifferent and quiet, which makes people feel comfortable.
A few days ago, the elders of the clan put pressure on her. Under Sister Xiuyun's persuasion, Mu Yinglan reluctantly agreed.
When she saw her today, she didn't feel bad.
Although his cultivation is not outstanding, as a young Talisman master, he is handsome and has both talent and appearance.
"Master Lu, I have an ancient book on talismans that I left down below. Come back later."
Mu Xiuyun apologized and hurried downstairs.
Only Lu Changan and Mu Yinglan were left in the same place.
No matter how slow Lu Changan is, he should understand.
"Mr. Lu, Ouran will make tea for you."
Mu Yinglan smiled, and the fair-skinned and long-legged figure started busy with light movements.
Lu Changan stopped talking until Mu Yinglan brought a cup of tea with hope on her face.
Blowing the hot air, Lu Changan took a sip.
"Mr. Lu, you take good care of yourself so well. Do you have any secret recipe?"
Mu Yinglan blinked and asked curiously.
Lu Changan is in his twenties and still looks like a teenager, with crystal clear skin.
There are many people who are cultivating immortals who are good at keeping good looks. This is also a topic of interest to the female cultivators.
"Maybe it's because I have a good attitude and practice wood-based techniques?"
Lu Changan had already prepared for such problems.
This place is not ordinary, and it is not unusual in the world of immortals to have an eternal appearance. There is no need to worry about being caught and sliced into pieces.
In addition to the beauty-preserving elixir, many exercises have the effect of preserving the appearance.
Especially the wood-based techniques.
The more common "Eternal Spring Gong" is 70% to 80% similar to the "Evergreen Gong of Ancient Trees".
The power of maintaining health and beauty is mediocre.
Even if Lu Changan deliberately dissipates magic power, it feels like ordinary wood-type skills.
Mu Yinglan looked at Shenghui and wanted to use this topic to talk in depth.
"Miss Mu, Lu is in a hurry, please go out first."
Lu Changan smiled apologetically, stood up and left in a hurry.
"Internal emergency?"
Mu Yinglan was stunned for a moment.
A pretty face suddenly turned red, and her chest was heaving.
Lu Changan obviously left for an excuse.
"The surname is Lu! Who are you looking down on? I am willing to come here to give you face!"
Mu Yinglan was very angry.
She originally looked down on Lu Changan.
Because of pressure from his family, Lu Changan became a talisman master again, so he reluctantly agreed to Mu Xiuyun's matchmaking.
She was so angry that her eyes turned red!
Snapped!
Teacups fell and tables and chairs fell apart.
Lu Changan, who was going downstairs, heard the sound, sped up a bit, and left Weeping Willow Pavilion in a flash.
"Why? He doesn't want to marry a girl from the Mu family?"
Mu Xiuyun, wearing a plain skirt, stood in front of the second-floor window, contemplating.
With Lu Changan's age and potential, there is little hope of foundation building.
As an orphan, I am not so repelled by my wife.
If you say you look down on ordinary women.
Mu Yinglan has spiritual roots, good looks, and many suitors.
As long as he marries Mu Yinglan, Lu Changan will be able to get cultivation from his family, including exercises, elixirs, and guidance from clan elders, and his future will be smooth.
"Sister Xiuyun, it's not that my little sister is uncooperative. I'm afraid that person named Lu is not interested in women."
Mu Yinglan came over angrily.
"Not interested in women?"
Mu Xiuyun was surprised, could this be the truth?
But he recalled the two or three meetings he had with Lu Changan.
When Lu Changan faced her, he would occasionally reveal a subtle appreciation of beauty.
As a woman, this intuition is very keen.
"I'm so angry! The man surnamed Lu is older than me, and his cultivation level is not as high as mine. How dare you insult people like this."
Mu Yinglan couldn't swallow the bad breath in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.
"Don't mess around!"
Mu Xiuyun's eyes narrowed and she warned.
Mu Yinglan is a fourth-level Qi Refining monk. If she is bent on revenge, Lu Changan will probably suffer.
"I'm not that stupid! Lu Changan is a first-level talisman master. If I attack him, the elders will punish me severely."
"I, Mu Yinglan, swear! I will find a man ten times stronger than him, so that he can only look up to me in the future."
…
"The Mu family really worked hard to recruit me as their son-in-law."
Lu Changan returned to the other hospital, somewhat dumbfounded.
The Mu family's "matchmaking" ended in failure.
Fortunately, the Mu family did not force anything.
After all, a twisted melon is not sweet.
A few days later.
The head of the family, Mu Maode, personally summoned Lu Changan and talked for half an hour.
The two parties successfully reached an agreement.
From now on, Lu Changan can still enjoy the treatment of a normal clan member without marrying a girl from the Mu family.
Enjoy a certain amount of spiritual rice, elixirs, etc. every year.
Of course, he has to pay the obligation and help the Mu family refine a certain number of talismans every year.
The materials for refining the talisman came from the Mu family, and with Lu Changan's attainments in talisman, he could only make a profit but not a loss.
In this way, Lu Changan officially settled in Feiyue Villa and started a cultivation career.
…
Three years have flown by.
In another courtyard.
The evergreen magic power in Lu Changan's body travels through his limbs and bones, with a green connotation of endless rotation.
"Eight years."
Lu Changan lamented that time flies by so fast. It has been eight years since he came to Mu's house.
After these years of observation.
As the years go by, the power of Evergreen Kung is growing at an extremely slow rate.
At least, it is slightly more powerful than the popular "Yuanyuan Jing" and "Tuyan Jing".
It’s true that the longer you live, the stronger your magic power becomes!
In the past three years of training, Lu Changan has reached more than half of the third level of Qi refining.
It is estimated that in another year, he will reach the peak of the third level of Qi refining.
In the Qi refining stage, he basically has no bottlenecks.
The peak of the third level of Qi refining is equivalent to the fourth level of Qi refining.
In other words, it takes four years to go from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
And Li Ergou next door had reached the peak of the third level of Qi training half a year ago.
The reason why there is no breakthrough is because of the existence of bottlenecks.
From the third level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training, it is a hurdle to advance to the middle stage of Qi training.
Li Ergou has ordinary qualifications. How easy is it to break through the bottleneck?
Or slowly polish it over time.
Or use the level-breaking elixir.
Level-breaking elixirs are very scarce in the Mu family and require contributions to redeem them.
…
"Brother Lu, let's hunt birds together——"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Ergou shouted outside.
"Crying so happily? You haven't shot a bird in the past few days."
Lu Changan joked.
It's okay to simply do it.
"Forget it, I'll go play with you today."
"Great! Brother Lu takes action, and there will be a harvest tonight."
Li Ergou was very happy.
The "bird" the two mentioned refers to a kind of "osprey" that recently visited Feiyue Lake.
This kind of osprey is a semi-spiritual beast that was acquired and specialized in eating the spiritual fish in Feiyue Lake.
As a result, the spiritual fish fishery in Feiyue Lake dropped sharply.
Rumor has it that this osprey is a product of the "Zhou Family".
Lu Changan, who had been practicing in the Mu family for eight years, sensed a sign of instability.
This stems from the grievances between the Mu family and the Zheng family.
Ten years ago, the two tribes fought over the ownership of the first-level copper mine, and the foundation-building ancestors of both sides were injured.
Later, one of the seven aristocratic families, the "Zhou Family", came forward to mediate, allowing the two families to stop fighting and share the discovered copper ore equally.
As the arbiter, the Zhou family of Yushou took away 30% of the profits.
Some time ago.
Under the first-level copper mine, it is suspected that the accompanying "Purple Heart Copper" was found, which is an excellent material for refining high-grade magical weapons.
The two tribes, which had been peaceful for several years, were once again at war with each other and sent more manpower to the mining area.
In the past two years, the Zheng family has paid an unknown price to gain support from one of the beast-controlling Zhou families, selling many of their spiritual pets.
Osprey is one of them.
Although the osprey cannot threaten the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, it can fly and is good at diving. It secretly hunts spiritual fish and aquatic products in Feiyue Lake every night.
The Zheng family used this trick to try to involve the Mu family's energy in the rear.
The real target is the "Purple Heart Copper" in the mining area.
For targeting Osprey harassment.
The Mu family issues tasks to their clan members, and those who kill the osprey can redeem their contributions.
Li Ergou suffered from the fact that he did not contribute to redeem the level-breaking elixir.
Therefore, I actively "hunt birds".
…
"The accompanying purple heart copper, the harassment of Osprey... the conflict between the Mu family and the Zheng family may escalate."
On the way to Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan had a deep look in his eyes.
"Wait a minute! It's not easy to find such a relaxed and harmonious training place as the Mu family."
"If the foundation-building ancestor of the Mu family cannot bear it or dies, he must run away."
How could Li Ergou, who was traveling with him, know?
Brother Lu, the most trusted person around him, is considering a plan to run away.
