"Master Lu, did they really agree to form an alliance?" Zhou Shu asked in disbelief.
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
"It's absolutely true. It was Zhao Deyuan who announced it in front of both disciples." Lin Fuzhang replied.
Zhou Shu's heart was finally relieved.
He was shaking with excitement, but then he controlled his mood.
Over the years, Yunqi Sect has opposed Xuanji Pavilion on various occasions, and almost every time, the former has the upper hand.
Under the encroachment of Yunqi Sect, Xuanji Pavilion's sphere of influence has become narrower and narrower, and the material origins and black stone veins it controls have also gradually decreased.
Zhou Shu often worried about this matter. Therefore, he tried every means to cultivate outstanding disciples, or to recruit strange people as guests.
Now Lu Yuan has helped him broker an alliance, which was something he had never dared to think about before.
Zhou Shu stepped down from his seat, held Lu Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Master Immortal! I really didn't make a mistake! You helped our Xuanji Pavilion, and I will never forget this kindness! Whatever reward you want, just ask!"
Lu Yuan said: "Don't rush to talk about rewards. Let's make an alliance first and then talk about it."
"Yes! I will immediately arrange for someone to go to Yunqimen to discuss the alliance!"
The few of them talked for a while, and then Lu Yuan returned to the cave to practice again.
Lin Fuzhang saw Lu Yuan walking away and said to Zhou Shu: "Master, my subordinates have something to report."
"Well, you tell me." Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
Lin Fuzhang looked around alertly: "The person surnamed Zhao across the street promised to make Master Lu Xian the deputy head."
"Ah?! There is still this matter!"
"Yes, but the Immortal Master refused. Zhao Deyuan gave Immortal Master Lu many gifts, and also gave Ling'er a wonderful magic weapon... This is a big investment!"
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Zhao, you dare to poach my people! Old Lin, we must treat the immortal master well and don't let him go to the other side. I heard that you are helping him cultivate as a demon servant?"
"Exactly! But the Immortal Master knows the progress of the repairs. We want to keep him here, so we can't work too hard here. In short, we just need to make him feel happy in our Xuanji Pavilion."
"The elder is right. From today on, please send three more servants to serve the immortal master!"
"As you command!"
Five days later, it will be the day of alliance.
In order to show sincerity, Yunqimen agreed to place the location of the alliance in Xuanji Pavilion.
Early that morning, Zhao Deyuan brought a large group of people from Yunqi Sect.
They all wore black and red dresses.
Lu Yuan, Zhou Shu and others were also waiting outside the mountain gate early to greet them.
"Oh! Immortal Master, oh no, Xiao Lu, we meet again. My benefactor, hahaha! It has only been a few days, and now those wounds have recovered."
Zhao Deyuan greeted Lu Yuan from afar.
On the second day after returning to Xuanji Pavilion, Lu Yuan refined the Ten Thousand Tribulations Insect into powder.
After simple processing, pills were made and sent to Zhao Deyuan.
Zhao Deyuan fully recovered after taking the pills.
So when I saw Lu Yuan today, I was particularly enthusiastic.
"Old Zhao, you came quite early." Lu Yuan smiled.
Hearing what they said, Zhou Shu on the side couldn't stand.
My dear! The two of them have such a good relationship now! If I, Zhou Shu, don't take action, I'm afraid the immortal master will go to their side!
He hurriedly said to Lu Yuan: "The immortal master has wonderful rejuvenation skills. He can even subdue such a powerful demon. He is really a young talent!"
Lu Yuan turned around and said, "Master Zhou has given you too much praise."
Zhou Shu said: "Hey, Immortal Master, don't call me the leader. It's not friendly, just call me Lao Zhou!"
Before Lu Yuan could answer, he heard Zhao Deyuan shout: "Zhou Shu, what do you mean? Do you want the immortal master to change my title because he is more affectionate to me?"
Zhou Shu sneered and said: "Haha, you are allowed to be affectionate, but I am not allowed to be affectionate? The immortal master can shout whatever he wants!"
When Lu Yuan heard what they said, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart:
Why! Two old naughty boys!
"Okay, okay, Lao Zhou. Today is a good day, let's get down to business first!"
Hearing Lu Yuan call him this, Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Master Immortal is right! Head Zhao, let's do business first."
The alliance ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.
Covenants are basically fair.
The two sects will advance and retreat together from now on and will no longer be hostile.
Yunqimen returned most of the mines and material origins that occupied Xuanji Pavilion.
Xuanji Pavilion also compromised partially and did not claim all the occupied land.
As compensation, Yunqimen gave away a lot of rare materials and seven or eight top-quality magical weapons.
The two parties also agreed that if a new mine is discovered, the two sects will dig and develop it together.
In fact, for Xuanji Pavilion, they made a profit from this alliance meeting.
Because it is easier to find hidden mines in Yunqimen territory.
After the alliance ceremony, everyone held a grand banquet and thanked Lu Yuan together.
The banquet lasted all day. Everyone was having a great time.
The next day, Zhou Shu offered to send gifts to Lu Yuan again.
Lu Yuan said: "The demon master really doesn't rely much on magic weapons. If you really want to give it to me, Old Zhou, I only want one thing."
"Immortal Master just said it doesn't matter!"
"It's very interesting to see the fragmentary picture in your study. I would be very grateful if you could part with me."
"That residual picture?"
Zhou Shu immediately recalled the origin of this picture in his mind.
He accidentally bought it from an old man when he was traveling abroad. The price was quite cheap.
Because this fragment of the picture depicts a red monster head with two sharp horns, which is lifelike and exceptionally beautiful.
He found it interesting and bought it.
Zhou Shu smiled and said: "Haha, it's just a damaged map, not worth a few mysterious stones. I thought the painting was good, so I used it to decorate the study. But since the immortal master took a fancy to it, it's really his Blessing.”
After saying that, he asked his men to fetch the remaining picture and give it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at this picture carefully, and felt strange ripples in his heart.
This is the second picture.
He secretly felt that this complete map must contain huge secrets.
Lu Yuan took the time to visit Lin Fuzhang again.
Restoration work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Lu Yuan also felt that Guo Pu's strength was slowly recovering, even more than before.
Lin Fuzhang also told Lu Yuan: After Guo Pu has repaired the puppet he promised before, he will modify it to a non-refiner specialization so that the demon master can also control it.
Lu Yuan was not idle at all while waiting.
He practices "Qilin True Immortal Technique" assiduously every day.
After experiencing so many things, his state of mind has also improved, and when he breaks through the mystery in the future, the chance of going crazy will also be reduced.
Speaking of Po Xuan, because of the power of cultivation left by Master Qingxuanzi, he no longer has to look for the Po Xuan Pill.
In addition to martial arts, he also diligently practiced mystical arts.
The previous demon skills were always a bit sluggish when used, but now I just practice them, making the combat feel smoother and smoother.
There are also the newly learned "Qilin Destruction", "Sword Escape", formations, etc., which all need to be constantly adjusted.
Genius also requires sweat!
During this period, Lin Ling came to chat with Lu Yuan almost every day. As they spent time together, he got to know her better.
Ten tense and joyful days passed like this.
Until it was broken by a disciple who ran over to report the news.
