On the way to Yuexin Island, Lu Changan learned about Li Erqing's troubles, which was expected.
Li Erqing enjoys the benefits of having children, so it is natural that he will face some backlash.
He gave birth to children too quickly and was basically in a free-range state.
Restricted by his origin, Li Erqing was not good at disciplining his offspring.
Lu Changan had a lot of wives and concubines in his previous life, and had many children. Even if he knew how to manage, there was no guarantee that everything would be in order.
Those wives, concubines, and children are not cold population figures in strategy games.
Everyone has joys, sorrows and joys, birth, old age, sickness and death, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
If you are lucky, your children will be successful and will bring good luck to your elders.
If you have bad luck and violate taboos, you may even bring disaster to your parents.
…
Arrive at Yuexin Island.
Lu Changan proposed to go to Mu Maode's grave to pay homage first.
Mu Maode was the former head of the Mu family. Fifty years ago, he went to the gate of Jinyun Valley to bring Lu Changan, Li Erqing and other immortal seedlings back to the family.
Six years ago, Lu Changan saw the elder Mumud for the last time.
Later, during the siege of Maple Leaf Huang's family, Mumaud died in battle and did not die.
When Mumud died, the Mu family held a grand funeral.
At that time, Lu Changan was still planning to build a foundation in Huanglong Immortal City, and he only heard the news.
In front of Mumud's tombstone.
Lu Changan placed a stick of incense and bowed in obeisance.
Two foundation-building ancestors, Mu Renlong and Li Erqing, accompanied him and remained silent.
Seeing Lu Changan's actions, Murenlong's eyes showed relief.
Lu Changan left the family decisively back then. The treatment provided by the Mu family and the love between his children could not retain him.
In the eyes of many people in the Mu family, this person is unkind and unjust.
Mu Maude came back from Huanglong Fairy City before his death and had a good opinion of Lu Changan.
"This son misses his old love. He is not a cold-blooded person, but he is very strong. Leaving the Mu family may have a glimmer of hope to build a foundation..."
This was the last time Mumud mentioned Lu Changan after he returned to his clan, and he died in battle not long after.
A few years later, inspirational news came from Huanglong Fairy City about the ancient and rare old man building a foundation.
Mumud's words became a prophecy.
Both Mu Renlong and Mu Maode understood one thing: if Lu Changan had chosen to stay in Feiyue Lake, there would be no hope of building a foundation in this life.
If a family obtains the Foundation Building Pill, it is impossible to give it to a monk with a foreign surname.
Back then, Lu Changan couldn't even rank the level-breaking elixirs in the later stage of Qi refining, let alone foundation-building elixirs.
…
After paying homage to the deceased, everyone left the mausoleum area.
Just then.
From the corner of his eye, Lu Changan caught a familiar figure of a girl, carrying a flower basket and heading to Mu Maude's grave.
"Miss?"
It was a girl in a green skirt, with slender eyebrows and green eyebrows, and a snowy face like a lotus.
Long skirt and shoes, starry eyes and white teeth, as cold as snow.
At this moment, it was as if time had reversed.
The young fairy seedlings came to Feiyue Villa for the first time, and the beauty they caught a glimpse of reappeared.
At first glance, Lu Changan almost looked like Mu Xiuyun.
The girl's face and body look very similar to Mu Xiuyun.
The temperament is slightly different, a bit cooler.
When Lu Changan left the Mu family that year, Mu Xiuyun was no longer a girl, but an easy-going beauty.
Even if Mu Xiuyun always has a supply of beauty elixirs, she can only maintain her youthful appearance at best and cannot regain her youth.
"That is Xiuyun's adopted grandniece from the clan. Her name is Mu Bingyun. She is an orphan. Her parents died in the war when she was young."
Mu Renlong noticed Lu Changan's gaze and introduced the girl's identity.
"Mu Bingyun has good qualifications and is a middle-grade spiritual root. Xiuyun accepted her as a disciple in name only, but in reality she treated her like a daughter."
"Mu Bingyun?"
Lu Changan read the name lightly without saying anything.
In front of the tomb, Mu Bingyun put down the flower basket and glanced at the white-robed visitor with her clear eyes.
It's far away, so you can only see an outline.
"very young."
Mu Bingyun pursed her red lips and spoke in a clear and tender voice. Busy in front of the grave for a while and then leave in a hurry.
…
In the main hall of Yuexin Island.
The senior officials of the Mu family held a banquet in honor of Lu Changan, and they were accompanied by at least those from the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"This is my nephew 'Mu Chengji', the current head of the Mu family."
Mu Renlong introduced one of them, a middle-aged man in blue, handsome and polite.
"Junior Mu Chengji has met Senior Lu."
The middle-aged man in blue said respectfully.
Lu Changan nodded and looked at a taciturn old man with a broken arm at the table.
"But Brother Yunfei?"
"Brother Chang'an, I still remember you."
The old man with a broken arm breathed heavily, and the excitement in the depths of his cloudy old eyes was suppressed.
The old man with the broken arm is Mu Yunfei.
Back then, he escorted the immortal seedlings, guarded the medicine garden with Lu Changan, and was promoted to the seventh level of Qi refining through the hardships of life and death on the front line.
In terms of age, he is several years older than Lu Changan.
It can be said that Mu Yunfei is the elder monk of the Mu family who has witnessed Lu Changan's growth.
During the dinner, Lu Changan chatted with Mu Yunfei for a while.
The head of the family, Mu Chengji, was a little embarrassed. He was not familiar with Lu Changan in the clan before and had almost no dealings with him.
Now if you want to build relationships, you might as well be an old and weak tribesman.
…
During the banquet, the top management of the Mu family revealed their current predicament. They were threatened by the Maple Leaf Huang family. The family industry was suppressed and it was not safe for members of the clan to go out.
The head of the family, Mu Chengji, expressed tactfully that he hoped Lu Changan could provide assistance.
Li Erqing and Mu Yunfei also helped to say some kind words.
Lu Changan made no statement.
The banquet was over, and only three foundation-building monks, Lu Changan, Mu Renlong, and Li Erqing, were left at the table.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you really don't want to return to your clan and become a worshipper?"
Mu Renlong's eyes flickered before he spoke.
"I don't expect fellow Daoist Lu to return to the clan and fight head-on. If you can sit in Feiyue Lake and help increase your power, my Mu family will be grateful and I will definitely give you generous gifts."
"Brother."
Li Erqing looked at Lu Changan with expectation in his eyes.
Lu Changan started from Feiyue Lake and has been there for thirty years. He is not a heartless person.
The Mu family is willing to provide rewards without asking to fight in battle, so there should be some hope in this matter.
"Fellow seeker, Erqing, I will not directly participate in the conflict between the two clans."
Lu Changan refused.
Mu Renlong was disappointed and sighed, but he was not surprised.
Lu Changan didn't want to go to the battlefield when he was in the Mu family in his early years. Later, he became known as the "Turtle Talisman Master" in Zhuye Mountain.
"Lu came to Feiyue Lake on this trip. He has an important business to do with the Mu family."
Lu Changan switched to the sound transmission method.
"A business deal?"
Mu Renlong and Li Erqing looked at each other, unable to guess what medicine Lu Changan was selling in his gourd.
"This matter needs to be kept confidential. Friends, please prepare a private room."
Lu Changan ordered.
"Okay." Murenlong nodded.
…
A moment later, in a secret room on Yuexin Island.
Under the searching eyes of the two foundation builders, Lu Changan took out a white jade porcelain vase.
Opening the bottle cap, a strange medicinal fragrance came out, revealing the crystal-clear elixir inside.
"This is……"
Mu Renlong and Li Erqing stared at the pill with shocked expressions.
"Don't be surprised, you two. The business I want to do with the Mu family is this Foundation Building Pill!"
Lu Changan smiled.
"Brother! You actually still have a Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Li Erqing was shocked and unexpected.
Just now, Lu Changan was completely unwilling to help the Mu family, and he was somewhat disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changan prepared a big move.
"At that time, when I was refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, the success rate was pretty good, and there was still plenty left."
Lu Changan explained.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you going to sell this Foundation Building Pill to our Mu family?"
Murenlong confirmed with an excited tone.
Even his city feels unreal.
"One price, five thousand spiritual stones."
Lu Changan was straightforward.
At the Zhuye Mountain auction that year, the defective Foundation Establishment Pill, which increased the probability of Foundation Establishment by 15%, sold for four thousand spirit stones.
Genuine Foundation Building Pills will only be worth more.
"Five thousand spiritual stones? No problem, we will raise them as soon as possible."
Mu Renlong agreed directly without even thinking about it.
The price is certainly fair and cheaper than at auction.
The key is to trade privately without taking risks.
As far as Lu Changan is concerned, although he cannot maximize his profits, he can make a fortune in a low-key manner.
When selling on consignment at auction, there is a handling fee.
"I don't know how the Mu family's foundation-building pills will be distributed. But Lu hopes to give Mu Xiuyun a chance to compete."
Lu Changan made a small request.
Murenlong looked troubled and thought for a moment: "The final ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill will be discussed in secret by several elders of the clan. I promise to give her a chance."
Mu Xiuyun was similar in age to Lu Changan, so her chances of building a foundation were slim, unless she had a high-quality foundation building pill.
Once the promotion fails, the vitality will be severely damaged, which will also affect the rest of life.
Therefore, Lu Changan did not force the arrangement and gave her a chance to fight for it.
…
Lu Changan did not stay at Yuexin Island and settled in the former small courtyard of Feiyue Villa.
Li Erqing has always reserved the small courtyard by the lake for Lu Changan to maintain its original appearance.
Lu Changan felt happy when he returned to the familiar courtyard, even though the aura environment here was not suitable for foundation-building monks.
He didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so he temporarily used some elixirs and spiritual stones to make up for the lack of spiritual energy environment.
During the period when the ancestor of the Mu family was preparing the spirit stone.
Lu Changan studies the puppet inheritance of Master Sang.
Surprisingly, he has a good talent in puppetry, which far exceeds his aptitude for alchemy!
It only takes half a month for beginners to get started.
With some basic materials, he created a small puppet claw that was not good enough.
Lu Changan was in a very happy mood.
This life has a long life, and in addition to the way of talismans, there will be another way to protect the way.
