Patrol House.
"Ouch..."
Zhang Qing, who didn't know what happened in the sect's station, met Elder Lu who had returned. Before he said anything, he was given a slap in the face. The strength of the sixth level of Qi training was now miserable and weak, and he was crying. .
"Brother Zhang, you have suffered."
Seeing that his entire back was bloody, Lin Changan couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Qing's eyes filled with tears after seeing this, and he pretended to be okay and waved his hands: "It's okay for me to get beaten up, Senior Brother Lin You are the future of our sect.”
At this time, Zhang Qing was obviously here to cry miserably, and not only did he not resent Elder Lu's beating at all, but he was extremely excited.
As long as you can't be beaten to death, then fight to death!
The harder the beating, the happier he will be. The beating is all a favor!
"Brother Zhang, I will keep this kindness in my heart today."
In any case, Zhang Qing took the blame for him, which made Elder Lu let out a bad breath, and Lin Changan also expressed emotion on his face. He must remember this feeling.
But at this time, as the Shengxian Tower auction ended, there was a bit of a weird atmosphere.
The major forces began to digest it one after another, especially those who had photographed the Foundation Establishment Pill, but the Zhou family released a breaking news.
A foundation-building elder from the Zhou family has blocked the outside of the Dajian Sect, completely blocking the communication between the Dajian Sect and Fang City. This means that there are currently no foundation-building monks from the Dajian Sect in Fang City.
After this news was revealed, many monks at the ninth level of Qi training secretly began to wander around the forces of the Great Sword Sect. After all, the chance of snatching a Foundation Establishment Pill from the hands of a Qi Practicing Dzogchen would be greater.
But right now, these people are still waiting for the people from Tianxuan Palace to leave.
It can be seen from this that the people from Tianxuan Palace came down to hold the Shengxian Tower auction, and the Fangshi Conference had to stay for half a month. The more reason was that they did not want to cause too much chaos to the forces below. Half a month Time enough to digest.
As for being unable to digest it, it can only be said that the opportunity given to you is useless.
Elder Lu, who had returned, looked extremely ugly in the mansion.
"Father, the Zhou family is clearly planning to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Senior Brother Lu has been avoiding people for the past few days, his face is obviously much more haggard, and the arrogance he once had has also dissipated.
The blow of the failure of foundation building made the proud senior brother Lu lower his head and recognize the reality.
Looking at his son who had come out of decadence and accepted the reality, Elder Lu couldn't help but show a smile of relief, nodded and said: "An'er, the road to foundation building itself is full of ups and downs. It's a relief that you can come out and become a father." Tone.”
After hearing this, Senior Brother Lu pulled out a forced smile and walked out? It's not that easy, he just accepted the status quo.
"Father, what about the Foundation Establishment Pill this time?"
When it came to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there was clearly a trace of desire deep in Senior Brother Lu's eyes. Although he knew that this chance was slim, he still wanted to test it. After all, this was his father!
However, after Elder Lu heard this, he sneered, "The Zhou family is afraid of his methods of controlling beasts!"
Elder Lu's firm look made Senior Brother Lu wake up instantly. In Elder Lu's eyes, the sect is above everything else.
"Then father, how can we send the Foundation Establishment Pill back safely?"
Seeing his son's worry, Elder Lu sneered confidently, "How many hungry wolves are secretly arranged to keep an eye on you when you leave Fangshi at this time?"
"Besides, why should we send it out?"
Elder Lu asked rhetorically, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, which made Senior Brother Lu change from worry to surprise after seeing this.
"Father, is there something else within the sect that I don't know about?"
Seeing his son's surprise, Elder Lu nodded with a smile on his face, "An'er, you have to know that in this world, whether you or the sect, there will always be secrets that outsiders don't know about."
"These backhands will be your chance to make a comeback when you are most in danger."
Elder Lu had a confident smile on his face and Senior Brother Lu had doubts on his face. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "Your Junior Brother Lin will be here later. Our sect's Alchemist Lin will be here soon. You can go down first."
Although he was puzzled, when he saw the confident smile on his father's face, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and chose to go first. It was still inconvenient for him to show up at this time.
In the silent main hall, Elder Lu looked down at the two jade boxes in his palms with a calm expression, and his eyes gradually became a little complicated.
"Two foundation-building pills! I hope you won't let the sect down, and you must succeed! And you, Lin Changan!"
"I have raised you for so many years, you must never let me down!" When thinking of Lin Changan, Elder Lu even more eagerly hoped that the other party would succeed in the next round.
Even the greedy Elder Lu still hoped that if he could get two pills, then four foundation-building pills, the great sword sect would rise in his hands, and he would be able to compete with the beast-controlling Zhou family from now on.
At this moment, after his spiritual consciousness noticed the footsteps outside, the jade box in his palm suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on Elder Lu's face.
"Master Lu."
After coming in, Lin Chang'an hugged his fists respectfully. This time, Elder Lu didn't make any detours and laughed directly: "Chang'an, the materials for starting the furnace have been prepared. How are you preparing?"
But this time, Lin Changan showed an uncharacteristically solemn look, raised his head and said solemnly: "Master Lu, I found that there are many monks with strong cultivation in our station."
After all, he is a monk at the ninth level of Qi training, so it is normal for him to be able to find people in the dark, not to mention that there are many monks at the seventh or eighth level who are trying to find out.
Seeing how Lin Changan cared about the sect, Elder Lu finally felt a little comforted, but at this time he knew very well that Lin Changan had only succeeded in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill once, so it was best not to distract him. under pressure.
Elder Lu sneered disdainfully and said, "A group of clowns, with their unflattering methods, if they really succeeded, this thousand-mile radius would already be the territory of the beast-controlling Zhou family."
After hearing this, Lin Changan thought to himself, as expected, how could this old guy not prepare a backup plan? In other words, among all the major forces, whoever comes to prepare to auction the Foundation Establishment Pill, how could they not prepare a backup plan.
After hesitating for a moment, Elder Lu couldn't help but frown as he looked at Lin Changan.
"There are still several of your senior brothers in Fang City, but they have been practicing in seclusion in the dark. This time, the sect also bought three Foundation Establishment Pills at the auction. When the time comes, you will leave one in Chang'an. pieces."
Elder Lu never forgets to draw cakes for Lin Changan to fool him, and Lin Changan also looked grateful after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you are wrong."
"Wrong calculation?" Before Elder Lu could react, Lin Changan smiled confidently and proudly, puffed up his chest and said: "This time I am bound to win the furnace, so Master Lu, you made a wrong calculation."
After hearing this, Master Lu couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, and nodded happily: "Yes, I made a mistake in my calculation, but the Foundation Establishment Pill obtained from the auction as promised by the Headmaster before is definitely yours." No one can use yours first."
"There must be no sect in the world that can refuse an alchemist in the foundation-building stage. After all, everyone has a sense of the rate of alchemy in both Qi training and foundation-building."
Elder Lu laughed loudly and frankly told Lin Changan to just keep it in his heart. If the sect doesn't give you the Foundation Building Pill, it would be a big loss.
After hearing this, Lin Changan's face flushed even more, "Master Lu, don't worry, I'll go back tonight to make preparations, and I'll start refining the alchemy tomorrow."
After seeing Lin Changan's eagerness to start making alchemy, Elder Lu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this kid really didn't find anything, otherwise no one would rush to die.
"Chang'an, this is the last foundation-building material for the sect. Do you have to be prepared and take two days' rest if it fails?"
Elder Lu looked concerned. After all, the various arts of cultivating immortals, such as alchemy, drawing talismans, and refining weapons, still pay attention to the state of mind. After that feeling comes, the success rate will often increase a lot.
The same thing applies to cultivation.
However, looking at Elder Lu's concerned smile, Lin Changan sneered inwardly, but his face was full of excitement and determination.
"Master Lu, I know better than anyone about this. After all, the sect will not be able to raise the second set of materials in a short time. How can I joke about this?"
After hearing Lin Changan's reply, Elder Lu couldn't help but smile and nod, "That's good, I feel relieved."
"This time the alchemy is still in the same place. After all, there are a lot of people watching outside right now. Changing the place easily will arouse the vigilance of these people. But don't worry, I will be in charge in person secretly, and with the blessing of the formation, no matter Someone will bother you."
After hearing this, Lin Changan nodded firmly, "Thank you, Master Lu."
Elder Lu's smile was that he was finally able to slaughter the pig he had raised for ten years. But Lin Changan's firm eyes knew that if he stretched out his head, it would be a knife, and if he shrank his head, it would be a knife, and there was no way to avoid it.
…
After returning, Lin Changan sat cross-legged on a chair in the back hall, wearing a moon-white robe, and the incense burner under him exuded a calming smell.
At this time, there was a pair of catkins behind him gently squeezing his shoulders. Lin Changan, who was squinting at this moment, seemed to be making preparations.
"Li Han, Qi Feng, and you guys, please keep an eye on me these days. The people outside are just clowns."
Lin Changan, who was enjoying it, narrowed his eyes and warned one by one. The three Li brothers below nodded after hearing this, and Li Han and Qi Feng also clasped their fists.
"Tomorrow I will start making alchemy. Tomorrow I will ask Yuzhu to accompany Junior Sister Murong to visit this market and get familiar with it."
Luo Yuzhu, who was behind him, nodded respectfully after hearing this, while Murong Yue, who was sitting on one side, looked at Lin Changan's enjoyment and couldn't help but joked: "Senior Brother Lin, you can enjoy it better than a mortal emperor."
"Junior sister is joking."
Everyone didn't chat much this time, for fear of disturbing Lin Changan's interest. After all, alchemy is really a tricky thing.
As everyone retreated, Lin Changan waved his hand gently, and Luo Yuzhu immediately understood, bowed slightly to salute, and then slowly retreated.
However, before closing the door, Lin Changan still said softly: "The Fang family and his son have not left yet. Go and ask if there are any special products in the future. I am willing to buy them at a high price. I still have thirty spiritual stones and I can buy some spiritual meat." , spiritual wine nourishes the body."
"yes."
There was a crunch, and when Lin Changan was the only one left in the entire back hall, he slowly opened his eyes.
"I hope you won't be needed."
When he was instructing the guards on matters behind the mansion tonight, he had secretly conveyed to Murong Yue the back-up plan prepared by Old Ghost Lu. The monks with the qualifications to build the foundation must have arrived, but they were just hiding in the dark.
There is naturally a risk of exposure when passing on information. Once exposed, Luo Yuzhu and the Fang family will be able to take the blame.
At that time, it was Luo Yuzhu who had a problem, and the information about secretly probing him was passed on to the Fang family and his son. Anyway, a single sentence had nothing to do with him.
…
That night, the lights of Qingzhushan Square Market were brightly lit. With the end of the Shengxian Tower auction, the market did not become depressed, but became even more popular.
After all, many people prepared spiritual stones, and naturally only a few were able to buy their favorite ones at the auction. Those who did not bid were naturally unwilling to give in, which naturally promoted the entire market's transactions.
In the second half of the month, there was more bartering for things. Many monks excitedly took out treasures, and some things they bought from auctions were resold and traded in the market.
However, in a restaurant, Murong Yue calmly looked at the brightly lit and bustling market, with a hint of nostalgia in her expression.
"When I was a kid, I was at home with my mother during the Lantern Festival, and it was so lively. I watched the entire market from the attic, and the lights would not go out all night long."
Under the faint voice, an ordinary monk next to him was drinking and eating meat with a smile on his face. He turned around and laughed and said: "They are all the same. The so-called difference between immortals and mortals is actually no different."
"In the eyes of mortals, we are immortals, but in the eyes of us Qi-training monks, those who are powerful in building foundations and golden elixirs are immortals. In fact, they are all the same."
Murong Yue ignored it, but calmly sipped a glass of spiritual wine and raised her head to look at the monk wearing a bamboo hat sitting in front of her.
"Fellow Taoist, this is the magic weapon you want. Look at this thing."
When the monk next door saw that they were discussing business, he immediately stopped trying to strike up a conversation.
Murong Yue and the monk were obviously talking about trading magic weapons. The scene where they casually used the sound isolation technique was not surprising. On the contrary, this scene was completely normal.
Under the sound isolation technique, after Murong Yue slowly spoke out the information she had received, the monk opposite him obviously looked a little ugly.
"As expected of Old Ghost Lu, this person is very thoughtful, I'm afraid it's true!"
"Then what should we do next? With the Holy Envoy of Tianxuan Palace here, no one dares to risk the anger of Tianxuan Palace by snatching the Foundation Establishment Pill from Old Ghost Lu."
At this time, Murong Yue's face was also a little ugly. Once one or two more Foundation Establishment Pill monks appeared in the Great Sword Sect, her chance of escaping would be even slimmer.
However, the monk in front of him took a deep breath, with a look of determination on his face.
"What if it's a fight inside the Great Sword Sect!"
As his resounding voice echoed, Murong Yue couldn't help but be a little shocked and then secretly nodded, "That's all we can do now."
The monk stood up slowly and looked at Murong Yue calmly, "I will go find the Zhou family. They must be happy to see the internal strife in the Great Sword Sect that threatens them."
"Then what do I want?" Murong Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at the other party, but the other party did not hesitate and said directly in a solemn voice: "Don't worry, I will give you what you want."
