"Brother Lu, you are finally here!"
Li Ergou, dressed in a red robe, came out to welcome him, opening his arms for a warm hug.
Lu Changan looked slightly disgusted and patted him on the shoulder.
Compared with a few years ago, Li Ergou's face has become rounder, his belly is slightly bulging, and his skin is not as dark as before.
He is clearly under thirty, but at first glance, he looks like a wealthy official.
"Evergreen, this is my gift."
Lu Changan took out two talismans, both of which were high-quality wind speed talismans that Li Ergou had begged for a few years ago.
Today, the monks of the Mu family all call Li Ergou "Changqing" or "Li Changqing".
"Haha! Brother, come over and eat and drink as you like. What kind of gift do you want to give me?"
Li Ergou's eyes lit up, he quickly took the talisman and welcomed Lu Changan to the main table in the room.
There is a difference between Xianfan and Li Ergou. None of Li Ergou's relatives came. He regarded Lu Changan as his elder brother.
Although Li Ergou was the first to advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he still respected Lu Changan and was as close to him as he was ten years ago.
"You, the groom, go and get busy first."
Lu Changan waved his hand.
For more than ten years, Li Ergou has completely integrated into the Mu family, giving birth to spiritual descendants of the Mu family.
He also fought hard on the battlefield for the Mu family and broke his leg.
In the eyes of the Mu family, he is a trustworthy son-in-law and a member of the family.
There were many people coming and going with the gift. In addition to the woman's relatives, some of them were tribesmen who were familiar with Li Ergou.
"Does Mu Yinglan know? A golden flower of our Mu family returned to visit relatives a few days ago. It was such a grand event that the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining personally escorted it."
"Tsk, tsk, Mu Yinglan has made the right move by marrying into the 'Zhou Yu family', leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade."
The conversation between adjacent tables caught Lu Changan's attention.
Mu Yinglan was the girl from the Spiritual Root tribe that the Mu family wanted to marry to Lu Changan. It didn't work out, and the woman still had a grudge.
Lu Changan had heard about Mu Yinglan's marriage.
Three years ago, after the war between the two clans.
The relationship between the Feiyue Lake Mu family and the Yushou Zhou family gradually became closer, replacing the previous status of the Zheng family.
Facing the rise of the Huang family, the Zhou family was wary.
The Maple Leaf Huang family has built a solid foundation and is united. If it develops, it may threaten the status of the Zhou family in the future.
On the other hand, the Mu family is the weakest, bordering on the current territory of the Huang family.
The Zhou family did not want the Huang family to annex the Mu family and grow further, so they had the idea of supporting the Mu family.
This is the background of Mu Yinglan's marriage to the Zhou family.
In fact, the eldest daughter Mu Xiuyun is an ideal marriage partner.
However, after the ghost incident in the medicine garden and her promotion to the seventh level of Qi Refining, Mu Xiuyun declared that she would not marry.
Mu Xiuyun has good cultivation and is a first-level senior talisman master. The top management of the Mu family does not want to lose outstanding talents and supports her decision.
But if you marry outside, you can still find a son-in-law in the future.
It is said that Mu Yinglan took the initiative to replace Mu Xiuyun and marry the second son of one of the Zhou family.
And she's the real wife.
For Mu Yinglan, this is a high achievement!
"This girl is quite vindictive."
Lu Changan couldn't help but smile as he thought of something.
A few days ago, Mu Yinglan went home to visit relatives and made a special trip around Lu Changan's yard.
Not to mention, she does have the demeanor of a wealthy lady.
Lu Changan understands Mu Yinglan's strong will and clinging, and he is happy to see Mu Yinglan's life become better.
…
That night, Li Ergou married the sisters Mu Caiwei and Mu Cailin into their home.
They were in high spirits, hugging each other from left to right.
This scene made the original immortal seedlings sour, and even some young people in the Mu family were envious.
Li Ergou is what he is today, all because of having children.
The first one to marry a wife and have children will receive generous additional rewards.
The first one to give birth to an heir with spiritual roots and get the level-breaking elixir in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Later, several more children were born.
Her fertility is obviously stronger than that of immortal cultivators of the same level.
He also sold his life for the Mu family.
For this kind of virtuous son-in-law who is fully integrated into the family and is so fertile, the Mu family is naturally willing to cultivate him and give him more "burdens".
An ordinary man would have fallen into the world of beauty long ago.
However, Li Ergou was able to pull it out and never relaxed in his cultivation.
Lu Changan was surprised by this.
In fact, Li Ergou was able to do this because of the influence of Lu Changan, the ascetic monk in the adjacent courtyard.
Even when he changed his name, Li Ergou learned from Lu Changan.
…
Three days after taking a concubine.
Li Ergou took the initiative to come to Lu Changan and took out a letter.
"Zhao Siyao asked us to get together at Jinyun Valley within half a year."
"Well, I received the letter too."
Lu Changan nodded.
Because time was not tight, Li Ergou took a concubine a few days ago and did not mention it.
"Brother Lu, what do you think? Do you want to help Zhao Siyao?"
Li Ergou listened to his opinion.
In the past year, Zhao Siyao implicitly expressed to them the difficulties of competing for core disciples.
This time, it was self-evident to ask them to go to Jinyun Valley.
Lu Changan said: "I can help, but you have to do what you can."
"How much do you plan to help, brother?"
"One hundred spirit stones."
Lu Changan stretched out a finger.
"Alas, I can only give out fifty spiritual stones at most. My second son, now he needs to spend spiritual stones to get started in cultivation..."
Li Ergou said in a dilemma.
"Quite a few." Lu Changan smiled.
After all, Li Ergou has a family and has higher expenses.
"Big brother is still cool! Talisman masters can make money and don't have so much baggage."
After discussion, the two made a decision.
The next day, he rode his spirit horse and left the Mu family's residence.
"Twelve years."
Lu Changan looked back at the magnificent Feiyue Lake, almost feeling a little nostalgic for this place.
The last time I went out was nine years ago.
He has not left Feiyue Lake in the past ten years, which is extremely rare for pure Mu family members.
I have been holding it back within the clan for so long.
Lu Changan will inevitably have needs when he goes out this time.
First, the loot in his storage bag was so rich that he needed to find a place to sell it.
Mainly the gain from killing Master Ge Dan.
The precious medicinal materials sealed in those jade boxes alone are worth more than a thousand spiritual stones.
Secondly, the "Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique" he has practiced in the past two years requires the use of first-order spiritual sand stone to absorb the essence of the ore and sharpen the body from the outside to the inside.
There are not many first-grade sand and gravels available in the family, and the quality is average.
While Lu Changan was out selling the stolen goods, he wanted to buy a large batch of high-quality spiritual sand. It would be best to keep it for more than ten years.
Body refining is a practice method that consumes both time and financial resources.
Most monks simply don’t have the financial resources; or they may have the financial resources but don’t have the energy to practice concurrently.
Although body refining can greatly strengthen the body, most practitioners of immortality rely on long-range methods, and magic weapons and supernatural powers are the king.
Apart from being strong in survivability and close combat, the physical refining technique has no outstanding advantages.
Therefore, few monks practice physical skills.
However, Lu Changan lives a long life and has a lot of free time every day. He currently has sufficient financial resources and has the conditions to practice physical skills as well.
…
One month later.
The two arrived at Hengshui Mansion on Lingjuma.
Go to the Prince's Mansion first and meet Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also received an invitation from Zhao Siyao.
"Haha! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come and try my Yunfeng tribute tea."
Lin Yi smiled brightly and poured the tea himself.
Lin Yi wears a loose robe and has a beard at the corners of his lips. He has a calm temperament without losing his sense of intimacy.
Lu Changan almost forgot about the arrogant and arrogant little marquis who was dressed in fine clothes.
In the past two years, Lu Changan had dealt with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi founded the "Yinxian Pavilion" and went to the Mu family's residence to buy a batch of talismans from Lu Changan.
Today, Yinxian Pavilion is basically on the right track.
Lin Yi was promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining and recruited several casual cultivators and a group of secular martial arts masters.
The next day.
The three of them rode the spirit horse to Jinyun Valley.
During the Qi refining period, it is labor-saving and convenient to use the spirit horse of this semi-spiritual beast to travel.
When it comes to traveling long distances, it is better than flying with a royal weapon.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan and the others came to Jinyun Valley.
Jinyun Valley is located in the center of the majestic mountains. Under the rays of the sun, the mountains rich in metal minerals reflect the faint golden glow onto the clouds, outlining the majestic fairy treasure land of "a line of gold in the mountains and clouds".
The three of them came to the foot of the mountain gate.
Looking up at the high-ranking Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Lin Yi and Li Ergou had complicated emotions, including awe, yearning, and unwillingness.
This was the place where they failed.
Lu Changan was as calm as water, neither humble nor arrogant, and came to the mountain gate.
Take out the token and let the gatekeeper disciple report it.
About half an hour.
Zhao Siyao, who was wearing a moon-white dress, flew over on a cloud handkerchief and landed in front of several people.
Wearing a phoenix hairpin, fluttering fairy skirt, and stunning beauty, she has a cool and fairy-like temperament.
Lu Changan and the others were stunned for a moment.
I haven't seen her for nine years. Zhao Siyao is breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, without any fireworks.
"Three fellow Taoists, you are well."
Zhao Siyao's pair of beautiful eyes, as clear as a spring, glanced at Lu Changan and the others, showing a hint of surprise.
Li Ergou and Lin Yi have changed a lot.
Lu Changan's appearance has almost not changed, he is still the same eighteen-year-old boy.
Handsome and elegant, as indifferent as water.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, are all the female disciples in the sect as beautiful as you?"
Li Ergou came over in a trance and grinned. He is no longer as shy as he used to be, and Zhao Siyao, who was once a little girl, would blush even looking at him.
"If Fellow Daoist Li is interested, I will introduce you to two of them in the future."
Zhao Siyao smiled softly, as clear as a bell.
The four of them walked and talked.
It felt like I was a young boy back in the day, entering Jinyun Valley from here to take part in the Immortal Sect assessment.
Zhao Siyao led the way into Zhike Peak in Jinyun Valley and sat down in a pavilion.
"You three, please take a seat."
Zhao Siyao sat calmly at the top, gently rolled up her skirt sleeves, revealing her jade-like catkins, and used her magic power to ingest tea cups and spiritual fruit plates, which fell on the small tables of several people.
