"My dear nephew Jiu'an, you are indeed a talented person. Uncle Lu has heard about you for a long time."
Lu Changan looked at the handsome man in feather robes with a smile.
Mu Jiuan has an outstanding appearance and temperament, and his eyebrows and eyebrows look a bit like his biological mother, Mu Caiwei.
It is said that Mu Jiuan has been pretty since he was a child and does not look like Li Erqing, which makes him unpopular with his father.
It wasn't until he discovered a good spiritual root talent that Li Erqing paid attention to him.
Li Erqing's favorite son has always been Mu Ershun, who was almost modeled after him when he was young.
In the world of immortality, cuckolding is very rare.
Even low-level immortal cultivators can vaguely sense whether they are descendants of their own blood.
Certain blood secret techniques can sense one's own bloodline heirs within a certain range.
One of the reasons why Lu Changan did not consider marrying and having children was that bloodline heirs would become a flaw at some point.
…
"I heard that Uncle Lu is a second-level talisman master. This bottle of late second-level ox essence and blood can be used as the raw material for talisman ink. It is my nephew's heartfelt wish."
Mu Jiuan smiled calmly and handed over a blood bottle.
"Nephew Jiu'an is interested."
Lu Changan took the blood bottle with a kind tone.
Mu Jiuan is worthy of being an elder disciple of the Nascent Soul level sect, and he spends a lot of money.
It's a pity that it is not the power of Liang State.
Otherwise, Lu Changan could take advantage of this personal connection.
The two parties exchanged greetings and took their seats, and Guan Qiaozhi poured tea.
Lu Changan chatted with Mu Jiuan and his wife, and learned about the situation in the world of immortality in Feng Kingdom.
Most of the time it was Lu Changan who asked, Mu Jiuan answered, and his Taoist companion Yu Yufu occasionally added a word or two.
Mu Jiuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and behaved very politely.
However, Lu Changan noticed that Mu Jiuan's respect and politeness were superficial, and he had a sense of formality to deal with errands.
Mu Jiuan lacked interest in him, Uncle Lu, and did not want to deepen the relationship.
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to understand this.
Put aside the relationship of seniority.
Mu Jiuan is also a monk in the early stage of foundation building and a disciple of the Yuanying-level sect's Danjie Elder.
Not only that, Mu Jiuan got hold of Elder Jie Dan’s granddaughter and got married to her.
Mu Jiuan's status was much higher than that of Lu Changan, a foundation-building casual cultivator.
The two did not have an uncle-like relationship, so Mu Jiuan naturally lacked respect for him and felt alienated.
"Jiu'an, why did you come to Liang Country this time?"
Lu Changan asked.
Crossing the border of Xiuxian Kingdom is a long journey and may face the threat of Jie Xiu.
This is the main reason why Mu Jiuan hasn't returned for many years.
"My master is going to the 'Wang Yue Fairy City' on the border of Liang Kingdom this time. I will come with you to gain some knowledge and come back to take a look."
Mu Jiuan replied.
Lu Changan had heard of Wangyue Immortal City, which was located in a fourth-level spiritual vein.
Although it is on the border of Liang State, it is not under the control of any surrounding country.
It is a large, neutral fairy city that radiates to many surrounding fairy-cultivating countries, and its background is very mysterious.
"Uncle Lu, my nephew's time out is limited, so he can't stay long."
Less than half an hour later, Mu Jiuan said goodbye.
Lu Changan did not persuade them to stay and sent the two of them outside the cave.
He guessed that Mu Jiuan was not only alienated from him, but also didn't have much sense of belonging to his hometown.
Mu Jiuan is over forty years old. He has stayed in Feng Country for a longer time and formed a Taoist couple. He is now living and working in peace in that country.
…
Mu Jiuan and Yu Yufu left Xiaogui Peak and flew out of Wuqi Mountain.
"Jiu'an, this Uncle Lu is very interesting. Why don't we talk more about him?"
Yu Yufu looked like she still had some unfinished thoughts.
She felt that Lu Changan was not an ordinary monk, but unfortunately her time was limited and she could not understand him in depth.
"If it weren't for my father's repeated urging, I wouldn't have planned to come."
Mu Jiuan's tone was calm.
"In the Liang Kingdom, except for the Feiyuehu Mu family and those relatives, there is nothing worth remembering."
"This is your hometown. It's hard to come back, so cherish it."
Yu Yufu held his arm.
"Cherish? My father's favorite son will always be Brother Ershun, even if I got him the Foundation Establishment Pill back then."
A look of loneliness appeared on Mu Jiu'an's handsome face.
"Er Shun's qualifications are so poor, but my father still wants to help him build a foundation and let me, as his younger brother, help him. This time, at least half of the resources I have contributed to him will be given to Er Shun at a cheaper price."
Yu Yufu blinked her pretty eyes: "Your father is indeed partial. Who makes you not look like him?"
"I think you and Uncle Lu have a similar look and temperament?"
Mu Jiuan's expression froze.
"Hey, you helped me get the Foundation Establishment Pill back then, and you have already repaid the kindness of raising me. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
Seeing that her husband was not worried, Yu Yufu changed the subject.
The two flew out of Wuqi Mountain.
A middle-aged foundation builder with a haggard face flew towards them and passed by the two of them.
The middle-aged foundation-building monk is Chen Sheng, Shi Manrong's ex-husband.
…
Chen Sheng flew straight to Xiaogui Peak, one of the three main peaks.
Housekeeper Lan Lin realized it was him and didn't step forward to pay attention.
"Friend Lu Dao, Chen needs to discuss something."
Chen Sheng shouted loudly in front of Little Turtle Peak.
"Senior Chen, my master is in retreat and will not see any guests in the near future."
Guan Qiaozhi smiled politely.
"Chen doesn't believe it! Go over quickly and report that this is the last time Chen is looking for him."
Chen Sheng frowned and said unhappily.
Guan Qiaozhi did not agree.
Unknown anger welled up in his heart, exuding the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he wanted to break in.
Guan Qiaozhi was so frightened that her face turned pale. She held the formation order in her hand and activated the mountain guarding formation to keep Chen Sheng out.
"Chen Sheng!"
From the direction of Xiaopanfeng, Shi Manrong's cold scolding came.
"Manrong, it's my fault. I was impulsive just now. This is all for you."
Chen Sheng immediately showed an earnest smile.
"Why don't you get out yet?"
"Yes, yes! I'll get out right away."
Chen Sheng reluctantly looked at the graceful figure that haunted him.
…
Wait for Chen Sheng to fly out of Wuqi Mountain.
Shi Manrong, wearing a plain skirt, flew to the Little Turtle Peak.
A soft voice said: "Friend Lu Dao, I just caused you trouble."
"It doesn't matter, he can only scare the little girl and not dare to break in."
Lu Changan walked out of the cave.
Regarding Wu Qishan, Chen Sheng was considered a scoundrel, stalking her and trying to win back his ex-wife.
This person is almost neurotic and is always worried that his ex-wife will get along with someone else.
Seven years ago, Chen Sheng approached Lu Changan for the first time and asked him to help look after his ex-wife and keep an eye out for bad guys.
Lu Changan responded perfunctorily.
In the following years, Chen Sheng visited many times.
Ask Lu Changan to help bridge the gap and create opportunities to make his ex-wife change his mind.
She even begged Lu Changan to persuade her ex-wife.
Lu Changan was so annoyed that he simply ignored him in recent years, just like the other two peak masters.
…
Lu Changan has learned about the feud between Shi Manrong and Chen Sheng over the years.
When Shi Manrong was young, his family was destroyed, and he had a marriage contract with Chen Sheng, the young master of the Chen family.
The old man of the Chen family was very trustworthy and adopted Shi Manrong, preparing to get married in the future.
Back then, Chen Sheng didn't like her at all.
First, Chen Sheng already has a female cultivator he likes.
Secondly, when Shi Manrong was young, his appearance was not outstanding.
Fortunately, Shi Manrong's talent for formations has been outstanding since he was a child, and it works in the family, so he will not be bullied.
Later, under the coercion of the old man of the Chen family.
Chen Sheng reluctantly married her and was extremely indifferent to her.
A few years later, the old man of the Chen family passed away.
Chen Sheng demoted Shi Manrong to a concubine and married the female cultivator he liked.
Shi Manrong was intolerable.
He left the Chen family in anger, and with his talent in formations, he got the opportunity to advance to the foundation building stage.
As his cultivation progressed greatly, Shi Manrong's eyebrows grew brighter and his temperament became extremely outstanding. He became a well-known genius formation master in the surrounding area - Shi Xianzi.
The Chen family continued to decline in the decades after Shi Manrong left.
In order to build his foundation, Chen Sheng mortgaged and sold off his family's second-level spiritual veins.
Over the years, the only remaining lineage of monks from the Chen family has been living in a first-order high-grade spiritual vein.
Chen Sheng does not have second-level spiritual pulse cultivation.
Later, when he saw the reborn Shi Manrong, he was astonished that he was a heavenly being, so he wanted to get back together and moved to Wuqi Mountain to practice.
…
"Fellow Daoist Lu, to express my apology, Manrong hosted a banquet at my house to comfort the frightened Qiaozhi."
Shi Manrong wears her hair in a high bun, has a dignified manner, and has clear eyes and a smile.
She specifically mentioned Guan Qiaozhi.
We have known each other for seven or eight years.
Shi Manrong occasionally visited Xiaogui Peak, initially to observe the mysterious formations here.
Over time, Lu Changan and this elegant Shixianzi had more exchanges and became familiar with each other.
The two have very similar ideas.
They all pay attention to spiritual practice and learn skills to protect the Tao. They have a relatively indifferent view of the relationship between men and women and do not want to form a Taoist couple or get married.
Every time we talk to each other, we feel comfortable.
Lu Changan also admired this woman.
Especially the noble temperament like the scent of plum blossoms that has been honed by suffering experiences.
A few years ago, Shi Manrong invited Lu Changan to his residence.
Lu Changan did not agree because he avoided suspicion, did not want to be resented by Chen Sheng, and was too lazy to get involved.
Even so, Chen Sheng still pestered him, maybe thinking that he was a good old man.
"Brother Lu?"
Guan Qiaozhi's pretty eyes flashed slightly, a little moved.
"All right."
Lu Changan nodded and took Guan Qiaozhi there this time to avoid suspicion.
Shi Manrong is a formation genius and is expected to become a third-level formation master in the future.
Lu Changan is willing to make friends with him.
…
Xiaopanfeng.
Shi Manrong's cave is elegant in style, filled with birds singing and flowers fragrant.
There is a maid serving delicious spiritual food one after another.
"This is the 200-year-old 'Green Plum Spirit Wine' that I have collected. It is beneficial to both men and women."
Shi Manrong, elegant and calm, filled the bowl for the two of them.
"Green plum spirit wine?"
Guan Qiaozhi's eyes were full of joy. He heard that this wine has the effect of beautifying the face, nourishing yin, and helps with fertility.
She drank a few too many glasses.
As a result, he underestimated the potency of the second-level spirit wine and fell asleep without realizing it.
Two maids came forward and helped Guan Qiaozhi to the side room to rest.
"Shi Xianzi, your green plum spirit wine is different from normal."
Lu Changan tasted another cup.
It's not poisonous, but the effect of the medicine is slightly abnormal.
He and Shi Manrong looked into each other's eyes, their eyes as calm as clear springs, and they understood each other tacitly.
"What's the difference?"
The gentle and soft female voice is like a clear spring caressing the ears.
Lu Changan suddenly felt that the Fairy Master in front of him was exceptionally beautiful, dignified and holy, soft and charming, and he couldn't help but want to get close to her.
This is not a love potion.
It is a natural aphrodisiac effect contained in spiritual wine.
"Friend Lu Dao, am I beautiful?"
Shi Manrong is wearing a moon-colored skirt and shirt, with an elegant figure and voluptuous curves.
She sat in front of Lu Changan and leaned against him gently. A light blush appeared on the silver plate-like outline of her face.
Lu Changan's consciousness had already scanned the cave and found nothing unusual.
The two have known each other for seven or eight years, have similar views and appreciate each other.
If it's an adjustment for a romantic relationship, that's fine.
"Master Fairy, have you thought it through?"
Lu Changan hugged her waist.
Shi Xianzi lifted up her skirt, turned her delicate body slightly, and sat on his lap with her round and plump buttocks.
"What are you considering? Fellow Daoist Lu is worried that I will depend on you?"
Shi Manrong sneered, his chest rising and falling.
Lu Changan lowered his voice and said, "I have agreed beforehand that I will not leave any heirs."
Shi Manrong was silent and her smile faded.
Suddenly, her slender thighs lifted up in a graceful arc and landed from Lu Changan's body.
The skirt and shirt were smoothed out, restoring the simple, elegant and dignified demeanor.
Lu Changan blinked slightly, was he too honest?
