Chapter 111 Different Choices
"What's the situation?"
Lu Chang'an did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Uncle Ren Long, it's been a month since he was buried."
Li Erqing's tone was low.
Lu Changan roughly estimated that Mu Renlong's body died around the time Mu Yunfei arrived at Wu Qi Mountain.
This is consistent with his judgment that Mu Renlong's injury was too late to go back and save him.
If Lu Chang'an was a rash man and rushed back with Mu Yunfei, he would not only be useless, but would also be ambushed.
When Lu Changan entered the Fei Yue Lake, he felt the panic within the Mu family.
The Mu Clan members have no light in their eyes, no expression on their faces, or they are helpless.
It was as if they had lost their vigor.
It is true that there is still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Fei Yue Lake, but the fact that the surname Mu is not given, makes the cultivators in the clan not feel solid.
Lu Changan first went to Moonheart Island to pay tribute to the departed Mu Renlong.
In his heart, he silently said sorry.
Objectively speaking, although he was too late to save Mu Renlong, he really didn't do his best.
When he saved Mu Xiu Yun's life, it was also an accident, thus discovering the secret of Evergreen Gong that consumes longevity.
Leaving the mausoleum area.
While flying in the sky, Lu Changan saw two young men and women in the middle stage of Qi Refining on the ground with relaxed expressions, one of them had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are those two young men?"
Lu Chang'an asked casually.
"It's my grandson and granddaughter."
Li Erqing's old face reddened, his gaze swept away fiercely, the pressure of the Foundation Establishment Stage, frightening the two young men to kneel and prostrate.
In today's Mu Family, only Li Erqing's heir was in a happy mood.
"Moonheart Island, isn't it only the late Qi Refining Stage that can apply for admission?"
Lu Changan added.
Li Erqing blushed unnaturally and explained:
"According to the family's regulations: foundation stage cultivators are entitled to a quota of ten family members to follow them to cultivate on Moonheart Island."
"In addition, temporary family visits are permitted, as long as they do not cultivate on the island."
Lu Changan had hardly ever been to Moonheart Island when he was practicing in the Mu Clan before, so he didn't know much about the specific rules.
At this moment, he sensed the possible loss of power in it.
This could not be decided by Li Erqing's personal will.
The large number of concubines and heirs behind him, driven by the instinct of profit, will push Li Erqing forward involuntarily. ......
Lu Changan arrived at Li Erqing's cave.
The two discuss the future countermeasures of the Mu family.
To be precise, Li Erqing suddenly became the highest-ranking cultivator of the Mu Clan and was unable to adapt for a while, so he asked Lu Chang'an for advice.
"Big brother, Huang TanKong's evil intentions have been thought of by the clan elders."
"The kindness of the Mu family, I, Li Erqing, remember it in my heart, and will never have any dissenting thoughts, and commit acts of betrayal, or engulf the Mu family."
Li Erqing had a solemn expression and swore with conviction.
Lu Changan believed that Li Erqing was now telling the truth.
But Huang Tankong's calculation is a kind of yang scheme.
It involves the distribution of interests between the Mu Family's own clan and Li Erqing's lineage. As long as people are inclined towards profit, sooner or later conflicts and differences will arise.
"Erqing, if you really want the Mu Family to be stable from now on, I'll make three suggestions."
Lu Changan murmured.
"Big brother please speak." Li Erqing listened attentively.
"First, as the only remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Mu Family, you will not intervene in the management of the family, and will be fully entrusted to the patriarchs, such as Mu Chengji and Mu Xiuyun."
"Second, as soon as possible, cultivate new Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Mu Family's own clan to stabilize people's hearts."
Hearing the first two, Li Erqing nodded his head, indicating that there was no problem.
"Thirdly, if one day, the situation in Fei Yue Lake stabilizes and is unable to meet the cultivation needs of your lineage. You can bring your own direct lineage and go outside to set up your own family."
At these words, Li Erqing's face changed and he shook his head straight:
"Big brother! I joined the Mu family when I was a teenager, my wives and concubines and children are all from the Mu family's bloodline, I won't make such a choice."
Of the three suggestions, the second one is the most crucial.
As long as there is a Foundation Establishment in the Mu Clan, the situation in Lake Fei Yue will naturally stabilize.
......
"Which of the Mu Family's seedlings do you intend to cultivate."
Next, Lu Changan and Li Erqing discussed the young cultivators that could be cultivated.
Currently, there are three cultivators of the Mu Clan who are within forty years of age and have medium grade spiritual roots.
They are: Mu Congren, Mu Bingyun, and Mu Juncai.
These three, all of them, are serious middle grade spiritual roots, not the kind that are close to the threshold.
Among them, Mu Congren is Li Erdog's grandson, the youngest, less than twenty years old.
Mu Bing Yun, in addition to having good qualifications, is also a talisman master.
"Mu Bing Yun is worth cultivating. At that time, we can help out a little."
Lu Changan said bluntly.
He had the intention to cultivate Mu Bing Yun, mainly because of his old feelings.
Back then, at the age when Mu Xiu Yun was suitable for foundation building, he himself was only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining, and was able to do limited work.
When he came back, Mu Xiuyun was too old to be a scholar, which left him with a lot of regrets.
"Mu Bing Yun, spirit root and skill both, the conditions are indeed very consistent. Just, she is now......"
Li Erqing showed a difficult color.
"What happened to Mu Bing Yun?"
Lu Chang'an's brows stared up, realizing that he had missed some information.
"Two months ago, Mu Bing Yun was attacked by two unidentified cultivators of the ninth level of Qi Refining near Fei Yue Lake. If she didn't have a high-quality talisman to protect her body, I'm afraid she would have already fallen."
"After she escaped back to the clan, her dantian was damaged, and even after using top quality injury medicine, part of the damage was irreversible, affecting her foundation. In the future to build the foundation, only afraid......"
Li Erqing explained the reason, can not help but smile bitterly.
The reason why this matter is not visible in the Mu family, because Mu Renlong was also seriously injured during that period of time, life hangs in the balance.
The old ancestor is going to die.
An injured Qi Refining Cultivator is naturally less valued.
"In her letter, Mu Xiu Yun did not mention this matter."
Lu Chang'an's face did not look good as he pondered.
Now that I think about it, Mu Xiu Yun took the unprecedented step of writing a letter, because she wanted Lu Chang An to come to Fei Yue Lake "incidentally" to see her disciple Mu Bing Yun's injuries.
If this matter is mentioned...
Lu Chang'an would have prioritized going to Lake Fei Yue instead of killing Huang Changling for old time's sake.
Perhaps, Mu Xiu Yun didn't want to sway Lu Chang'an's decision because of personal feelings.
"That old man Huang TanKong, in order to get me to come to Lake Fei Yue, he used this kind of tactic?" Lu Changan's first object of suspicion was the Huang family.
In the Fei Yue Lake Mu Family, there were only a few cultivators who had a slight bond with Lu Changan.
However, it is not certain that the neighboring Immortal Families are eager to see the Mu Family and the Huang Family fight it out.
......
A few moments later.
Accompanied by Li Erqing, Lu Chang'an arrived at an elegant cave on Moonheart Island.
"Uncle Lu."
The starry-eyed, white-toothed girl in a green dress welcomed him out, her face as pale as snow.
Mu Bing Yun's clear eyes contain a hint of surprise, looking at the white man who has been saying goodbye for more than ten years and whose face is unchanged.
Mu Bing Yun with the year change is not much, should be taken to the face of the potion, the cultivation has been to the seventh layer of gas refining.
However, her face is a little bloodless, more than a few sickly pale feeling in the clear and elegant.
"Uncle Lu take a look at your injuries." Lu Changan said.
Mentioning the injuries.
Mu Bing Yun's lonely and clear eyebrows, hung with a faint melancholy, as if dark clouds cover the moon.
She stretched out her cold white wrist and let Lu Changan take her pulse.
"Uncle Lu, do you know medicine?"
Mu Bing Yun thought of something, and her eyes were searching.
She was injured and confirmed that her roots were damaged.
Master had said that after the situation was stabilized, he told her to visit Uncle Lu at Wu Qi Mountain.
Uncle Lu knows a lot of people outside and may have a way in.
"A little dabbling, but not proficient."
Lu Changan did not move and let go of Mu Bing Yun's wrist.
He saw Mu Bing Yun's injury clearly, the dantian had a partially irreversible damage.
Using the difficulty of saving Mu Xiu Yun back then as a reference.
Lu Chang'an was certain that he could cure her dark injuries and repair her foundation.
The prerequisite is that one has to consume one's lifespan to perform the Evergreen Secret Art.
For his 400 decades of longevity, it would at most use a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction.
Longevity is not a problem.
The key was that Lu Chang'an didn't want to expose this ability.
We can't let this woman take the Heart Demon Vow as well, right?
Heart Devil Oaths are not omnipotent.
If the one who makes it doesn't care about the Great Dao, it's not binding.
"It would be too much of a stretch to easily heal her injuries unless it is a third-ranked physician with rare elixirs."
"What if I divide it into dozens of treatments and use a few years, or even a dozen years, to slowly 'nourish' her injuries?"
Lu Chang'an thought of a countermeasure.
By boiling the frog in warm water through a longer cycle, achieving this goal would not be overkill.
As if some low ranked cultivator, earning 10,000 spirit stones in a year, would amaze people.
If he earns 10,000 spirit stones in a few decades, it would not be surprising.
Moreover, Mu Bing Yun's damaged foundation is not a terminal illness in the Immortal Cultivation World.
Third-order or higher healing sacred medicines, including certain heavenly treasures, might be able to repair her foundation.
A few years later, under the wash of the years, when she succeeded in building her foundation, the matter of that year's injury would have long faded away.
......
"Bing Yun, I have a technique of nourishing and toning, along with some medicinal herbs, it might be able to slowly warm up your foundation."
Lu Chang'an worded.
"Nurturing and conditioning?" Mu Bing Yun's eyes brightened slightly.
Li Erqing's heart was also stirred.
Lu Chang'an's art of nourishing and toning his face was admired by those who were familiar with it.
Healing injuries by means of warmth and conditioning is relatively common in the Immortal Cultivation World, and can occasionally work miracles.
"However, I am only 20% sure of this method, and it requires you to leave the Mu family and follow me to cultivate for some years."
Lu Chang'an's words changed.
"Twenty percent certainty?" Mu Bing Yun had a slight change of heart.
"Uncle Lu, how many years will it take?"
"As little as seven or eight years, as much as one or two decades."
Lu Chang'an made the time slightly wider.
Mu Bing Yun pursed her vermilion lips and hesitated slightly, falling into thought.
A girl who grew up in the family and suddenly has to leave home for more than ten years, betting on a 20% hope, needs courage and determination.
"I'll give you a period of time to think about it."
Lu Chang'an no longer stayed and left with Li Erqing.
Having just walked to the entrance of the cave.
"Uncle Lu."
A warbler-like young girl's voice came from behind.
"I have decided! Leave the family, follow your cultivation, and accept the warmth and conditioning." Saying these words, Mu Bing Yun's eyes moved brightly, and her pale face showed a resolute expression.
"Hmm."
Lu Chang'an's pace was a beat, this woman's decisiveness was beyond his expectation.
Li Erqing cast an approving glance.
Lu Chang'an has taken away Mu Bingyun, and I am afraid that he has the intention to cultivate her.
Li Erqing doesn't know Lu Changan's secret.
Li Erqing does not know the secrets of Lu Chang'an, but after knowing each other for more than a year, he has formed a kind of intuition that his elder brother is not the same.
Not to mention, back then, when his elder brother resolutely left the family and attempted to build a foundation, who believed that he could succeed?
Inside the cave.
Leaving behind Mu Bing Yun's lonely and clear as snow fragrant shadow, murmured:
"Master, Ice Yun made a different choice from you today. The future ending, will it be different?"
......
Lu Chang'an didn't land on Moonheart Island, and returned to the small courtyard at the lakeside back then.
This courtyard was deliberately protected by the Mu family, just like treating historical relics, with regular maintenance.
Lu Chang'an, as the Mu family's rising foundation-building cultivator, the ancient foundation-building can be recorded in the annals of Liang's history, and is worthy of this treatment.
"Huang Tankong......"
Lu Chang'an was seated inside the house, his eyes flickering.
When he came to Fei Yue Lake, he didn't find Huang Tan Kong's location, thinking that the other party's lifespan was not much and was lingering on, he didn't chase after him.
Mu Bing Yun's encounter, let realized that this old home is still a lurking can bite poisonous snake, have to find out the location.
Originally prepared to write two tomorrow together uploaded. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.
For the night owls.
