Chapter 24: The Situation Reverses
Mu Family Medicine Garden.
The next day, Lu Changan moved into Master Ge Dan's previous compound.
This compound, which originally belonged to the Medicine Garden garrison, was overrun by Ge Yi's previous transcendent status.
Before Mu Renlong left, he searched Ge Yi's compound and left nothing of value behind.
Lu Chang'an moved in for privacy and spaciousness.
It was convenient for him to draw talismans and study alchemy.
And breeding pets. Underneath the basement of the courtyard, there is a small hidden tunnel that is impassable to adults.
This is the exclusive tunnel for the Ground Rats.
In the following two days, the Mu Clan's additional manpower arrived one after another.
In addition to the mortal farmers, the servants and so on.
There are only six cultivators.
Lu Chang'an shook his head darkly when he looked at them and used eight words to describe them:
Old, weak, sick and disabled, yin and yang are weak.
There were four youngsters at the first and second level of Qi Refining, three of which were young girls.
An old woman at the fourth level of qi refining, with dimmed eyes, whose life expectancy is close to the end, is in charge of tending to the medicinal herbs.
There is also a crippled young man with a walking stick and dark skin.
Oh, the crippled youth is Li Ergou.
Two months ago, Li Ergu broke his leg on the front line and was given half a year to recuperate.
The family gave him half a year's rest and recuperation.
"Brother Lu is worthy of being a Jianghu warrior, he even teamed up with Missy to repel a mole at the seventh level of qi cultivation!"
After the meeting, Li Ergou marveled and asked about the situation that day.
The early-stage Qi refining girls, Ming Chun's eyes show worship, and the hidden fire of gossip.
The first time I saw them, I saw them in a different way.
Lu Chang'an nodded, "Mainly rely on Missy, I'll fight and hold back from the side."
The Mu family's foreign propaganda was just what Lu Changan wanted.
He had guessed the exact reason.
The Mu family's daughter is in a coma, so it's not a good idea to tell the public about it.
It is easy for outsiders to think about it, which is not good for the reputation.
Instead, we can generalize that the two of them joined forces to repel Ge Yi.
Secondly, it can raise the reputation of the Mu family's daughter and make a mark in the clan.
Because Mu Xiu Yun's cultivation is higher and she is the eldest daughter, it is easy for outsiders to understand that she is the main force that defeated Ge Yi.
"By the way, Brother Lu, this is a letter from Zhao Siyao and Lin Yi."
Li Ergou handed over two letters.
For nearly a year, Lu Chang'an was stationed at the Medicine Garden, and letters from outside were sent to the clan.
Letters from the major powers mainly rely on family servants, messengers, carrier pigeons, etc..
The top levels of the Immortal Sect have higher means of communication.
......
Lu Changan first read Lin Yi's two letters.
The first letter congratulated Lu Chang'an for becoming a first rank runic master.
The letter mentions the fight between the Mu family and the Zheng family, implicitly indicating that he doesn't favor the Mu family and asks Lu Changan to pay attention to it.
In the second letter, sent last month, Lin Yi said that he was forming a force in the secular world called the 'Hidden Immortal Pavilion'.
This force mainly serves Immortal Cultivators.
With a small number of loose cultivators as the skeleton, he absorbed the secular martial arts masters, collected all kinds of information, and searched for the cultivation resources and treasures that had been strayed in the secular world.
In the future, the Hidden Immortal Pavilion is considering doing business with loose cultivators, running errands for sect disciples and making connections.
"Not a bad idea." Lu Chang'an pondered.
In the letter, Lin Yi invited Lu Chang'an to join, promising the status of a Vice Pavilion Master.
If Lu Chang'an didn't join, he wouldn't force himself.
At the end of the letter, he pleaded with Lu Changan to sell a batch of basic talismans and first-order lower-grade talismans at an affordable price, so that the Hidden Immortal Pavilion could develop in the early stages.
Lu Chang'an naturally would not refuse.
Previously, Lin Yi had also helped him, such as prying into the Mu family's information and helping to introduce the loose cultivator trade fair.
Lu Chang'an wrote back, promising to give Lin Yi the first batch of 20 basic talismans, 10 first-order lower-grade talismans, according to the wholesale purchase price of the store in the market.
As for the Hidden Immortal Pavilion, Lu Changan did not agree to join.
There is no problem in maintaining cooperation.
It would give Lu Chang'an one more channel to learn about the intelligence at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation World.
......
He opened Zhao Siyao's letter again.
In the letter, Zhao Siyao greeted Lu Chang'an's recent situation and mentioned her general situation in the sect.
Zhao Siyao also knows that he has become a talisman master and expresses her relief in the letter.
"Seventh level of qi cultivation? Preparing to compete for core disciple status?"
Lu Changan captured a key piece of information.
Core disciples of the Golden Cloud Valley must be within thirty years of age, and there are only thirty slots.
Most of them are strong at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining.
Zhao Siyao was going to try to make an impact after the eighth level of Qi Refining.
In Golden Cloud Valley, the biggest advantage of core disciples was that they were prioritized over ordinary disciples to receive the Foundation Establishment Pill. Lu Changan wasn't very optimistic about Zhao Siyao.
Firstly, Zhao Siyao's qualification was not an outstanding advantage compared to core disciples.
The core disciples basically have medium grade spiritual roots or above, and a few have top grade spiritual roots.
Secondly, Zhao Siyao's origin has no advantage. Although there were Immortal Cultivators in her ancestry, she didn't come from an Immortal Cultivation family.
She was not even as good as the disciples whose parents were casual cultivators.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, the phenomenon of "fatherhood" is very serious.
Without the help of an immortal cultivator's elders, the start of resources is far worse.
Zhao Siyao's only advantage is that she has an excellent beauty and temperament, which makes her stand out among female cultivators.
However, this kind of beautiful female disciple, if not to get along with disciples with backgrounds, or be suborned by seniors, sometimes it will bring trouble instead.
......
Reply to Zhao Siyao.
Lu Changan entrapped three medium grade talismans, including a fine one.
These three talismans were more than enough to repay the ten spirit stones borrowed back then.
Using the talismans to pay off the debt was a way to show Zhao Siyao his value.
Only a senior first-order talisman master could possibly refine a fine first-order mid-grade talisman, and the chances were very low.
"With Zhao Siyao's intelligence, by saying in advance about competing for core disciples, perhaps she hopes that I can help out in the future."
This time, the letter may be a prelude.
Should I help out Zhao Siyao?
Lu Chang'an thinks that he can invest appropriately.
Because, this is a low risk, high return investment.
At this stage, Zhao Siyao hasn't grown up yet, so it's the right time to send charcoal in the snow.
Once she becomes a core disciple, the hope of advancing to the Foundation Establishment Stage is much greater than an ordinary cultivator.
Suppose, Lu Chang'an borrowed 100 spirit stones, and Er Dog and Lin Yi each borrowed 50 spirit stones.
A total of 200 spirit stones is not a small amount for the late stage of qi refining, and is close to the value of a mid-grade magic weapon.
Once Zhao Siyao succeeds in building her foundation in the future, what is this amount of spirit stones?
It's just as an early congratulation.
By then, Lu Changan and the three of them will all have a backer at the Foundation Establishment stage, so if you want to build your own foundation in the future, you will have an expert to take care of you.
Even if Zhao Siyao fails to build her foundation.
With Lu Chang'an's current value, the loss of a few spirit stones will not hurt.
Moreover, as long as it is not a foundation building failure body fall, the borrowed spirit stones...... are also to be returned.
......
This is the first time I've ever seen a medicine garden in the world.
Lu Changan instructed those few Mu Clan young girls on how to patrol and guard and how to utilize formations.
These few early stage of Qi Refining have just left their status as Immortal Seedlings and don't know many things.
Lu Changan often had to teach them by hand.
Fortunately, Lu Chang'an practiced cultivation kung fu in this life and had a better mindset and didn't lose his temper.
"Have you heard? The head of the family has returned, and the marriage with the 'Maple Leaf Yellow Family' has collapsed!"
"Negotiated? What's the situation."
During the break, the three little Mu family girls chatted about the gossip.
"Originally, our Mu Family wanted to marry Missy to the Huang Family's young master, Huang Yu, to facilitate cooperation between the two families. However, that Huang family has a big mouth, and even refused to give Missy the status of a 'proper wife', at most giving her a plain wife."
"Outrageous! Missy is so outstanding and is still a talisman master...... The Huang family is completely insincere."
"Ai, the Huang family has three foundation builders in one family, and their young master is a top-grade spirit root, so they do have the money to be arrogant."
......
Lu Chang'an's senses are sharp, the little girl's gossip gossip also heard a few mouths.
In his previous life, he came from a family of Immortal Cultivators, so he understood the Huang family's approach instead.
Even, vaguely guessed that the yellow family's plan......
But there is no way, the Maple Leaf Huang family is much stronger, and now is the Mu family dangerous, vulnerable period.
The status of both sides, completely unequal.
The neighboring Immortal Cultivation Clans, coldly watched the fight between the Mu Family and the Zheng Family.
The balance of victory was tilting in favor of the Zheng family.
......
However, ten days later.
A shocking news came.
Huang Yuanhua, an elder of the Zheng Clan, died in a bizarre manner!
Huang Yuanhua, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was one of the Huang Family's strongest players at the Qi Refining stage.
The Mu family celebrated, as if they were sure of the correctness of the information. The Mu family also has a mole in the Zheng family, just not in a high position.
Family elders like Huang Yuanhua often had soul license plates within the family.
Once he dies, the family will know immediately.
Lu Chang'an suspected that there was a certain lag in this news.
"How did Huang Yuanhua die? I heard that they didn't even find the body?"
Lu Chang'an was puzzled.
The Imperial Beast License and the flying boat in his storage pouch both came from this person's hand, thus he was more concerned.
Judging from Lu Changan's experience, without two or three people of the same rank joining hands, or a Foundation Establishment strike, it would be difficult to exterminate Huang Yuanhua, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Defeating and killing are two different concepts.
Once Zheng Yuanhua died, the situation was reversed!
The Mu family toughens up in the frontline mines.
Granted, the Mu Family's young and strong cultivators are no match for the Zheng Family.
But nowadays, the Mu Clan has a clear advantage when it comes to high-end warriors at the Elder level.
Huang Yuanhua's position is comparable to Mu Renlong of the Mu Clan, so it can be imagined.
Not long after, news came from the frontline.
The Huang Family Ancestor and the Mu Family Ancestor restarted negotiations and reached an agreement.
Both sides stopped fighting.
The Huang Clan made a concession, willing to jointly supervise and equally share the companion mineral "Purple Heart Copper".
......
On this day, Lu Chang'an stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the "Moon Heart Island" in the center of Fei Yue Lake.
"Back."
He sensed the return of the Mu Clan Ancestor's aura from afar.
This verified the news from the frontline.
It seems that the dispute between the two great Immortal Cultivation Families will come to an end.
