Chapter 241 Making Waves
Chapter 241 - Making Waves
"Back to master, that human female cultivator......"
After listening to the narration of the Earth Rock Rat's tender voice, Lu Chang'an's face flushed with a hint of eccentricity.
The Ground Rock Mouse is a True Dan level demon, possessing the talent of earth evasion, a keen sense of smell, and good at tracking.
During the half a month that Lu Changan was away, Yu Qin's every move did not escape the monitoring of the ground rock rats. The girl's daily dealings, cultivation, diet, entertainment, and even the color of the clothes she wore were all clearly monitored.
Lu Changan was also amused, before he left, he just instructed the Ground Rock Rat to keep an eye on her, but he didn't expect the rat to be so serious.
According to the report of the Ground Rock Rat, Lu Changan found two doubts.
First, Yu Qin had prepared several kinds of medicinal herbs, including powders, potions, and perfumes.
However, with the sense of smell of the ground rock rat, it did not find anything highly poisonous.
Secondly, Yu Qin had gone out once.
The ground squirrel did not follow her.
Because Lu Chang'an asked it to guard Qiufeng Island and take care of the Xuanmu gourd vines planted at the bottom of the deep pool.
This matter is of the highest importance and priority.
Lu Changan mused, "Has this woman ever deliberately paid attention to or approached Xia Wen Yue?"
Xia Wen Yue's Innate Dao Body contains a chance to break through the Yuanying Stage, but it also comes with unknown risks, so Lu Chang'an is instinctively wary.
"No." The ground rock rat shook its little head.
"In that case, it seems that Yu Qin, this woman's parasitic defection, can exclude the secrets of the Innate Dao Body."
Lu Chang'an let out a small sigh of relief.
"Then, the arrival of this woman, even if she is not harboring good intentions, is at most a hostile force from the Xia Clan."
Lu Chang'an didn't know that Yu Qin had once falsely accused him at the Xia Young Lord.
During Lu Chang'an's time away, Yu Qin did not say anything bad about Lu Chang'an, and acted in front of the Xia Young Lord in a pitiful and meek manner.
Yu Qin understands the principle of "too much is not enough". Even though they used to love each other, it is impossible for the young master Xia to listen to her completely.
You can't be too repetitive or you'll be easily exposed.
Regardless of whether the young master believes in her or not, she only needs to leave a hint of suspicion in her heart, which will create a gap in their relationship.
......
Two days later, the residence of Qiufeng Island.
Lu Changan sent out a transmission note to meet the Xia Clan's clan elder, Xia Shenglan.
Lu Chang'an, as an envoy of the Xia Clan, had the intention of reminding the Xia Young Master since he had noticed that Yu Qin had a problem.
However, although he has a high status within the clan, he is after all a foreign cultivator.
Xia Mingqu and Yu Qin used to love each other when they were young and almost formed a dao couple, their relationship and feelings were extraordinary.
In terms of friendship, Lu Chang'an couldn't compare.
Therefore, he decided to start with Xia Shenglan here to avoid making things difficult for Young Master Xia.
In terms of seniority, Xia Shenglan was considered Xia Mingqu's cousin, and had once been married off to the Xin Family, which ranked second in the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce.
Half an hour later.
A long dress of water orchid, bright and dignified female cultivator of the Foundation Establishment, flew to the Autumn Wind Island.
"Fellow Daoist Lu personally invited, rare as it is, my concubine is flattered, and does not dare to have half a bit of delay."
Xia Shenglan's face surfaced a faint smile, although not rude, but no longer close to the year.
A few years ago, when Lu Chang'an did not reveal his identity, he had saved Xia Shenglan's life.
After this woman severed her relationship with the Xin Family, the Xia Clan had attempted to unite her with Lu Chang'an and gave her a late-stage Foundation Establishment level-breaking elixir.
However, Lu Chang'an refused the matchmaking of the Xia Clan's senior management.
After that, Lu Chang'an and Xia Shenglan's relationship faded, and at most, they were ordinary fellow cultivators.
"Shenglan Clan Elder is overstating things, Lu Mou is just an old Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not a big shot."
Lu Chang'an heard the self-deprecation in this woman's words, but he did not think so, and took it lightly.
Inside the side hall, the hosts and guests are seated separately.
Xia Wenyue, the maid of honor, brought cakes and fruits, and greeted Xia Shenglan with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Wen Yue's complexion is much better, and her cultivation has also improved...... Fellow Daoist Lu is worthy of being a Foundation Establishment cultivator who cultivates the Nutritious Life Technique, and in the Warmth and Nurture Tree, he has unique attainments."
Xia Wen Yue's changes, fell into the eyes of Xia Sheng Lan, surprised, but also for the former feel happy.
The original Xia Wanyue, originally was a flowery face, only by the sickly body to cover up a few points.
After her condition was stabilized, Xia Wen Yue's appearance was even better than before, as if she was a flawless jade, causing Xia Shenglan, who was also a female cultivator, to feel a hint of amazement. Xia Shenglan took another look at Lu Changan who was as warm as jade and handsome as dust, and sighed darkly in her heart.
In fact, when Lu Chang'an hid his identity, although Xia Shenglan had a good feeling about him, she did not have any real feelings of adoration between a man and a woman.
She was happy to see the family match up the two of them. However, at the moment when Lu Changan confessed his identity and stepped on the turtle, Xia Shenglan's heart, which had been silent for decades, briefly stirred.
After that, she had silently paid attention to this Liang cultivator who had risen to the rank of Donor, and learned about the rumors of the other party in the intelligence data.
With a comprehensive understanding, Xia Shenglan admired Lu Changan's inspirational immortal cultivation career and became more and more curious.
Unfortunately, Lu Chang'an refused the family's offer to marry him, so Xia Shenglan couldn't bring herself to approach him again.
This time, when Lu Changan took the initiative to invite him, Xia Shenglan held a hint of fluke expectation deep in her heart.
......
After a cup of tea, Xia Shenglan was disappointed.
Lu Changan didn't show any sign of catching up, and the topics he talked about involved the situation of the Five Fortunes Chamber of Commerce, the development of the Xuan Yin Demon Sect, the Liang Immortal Cultivation War, and so on.
Lu Chang'an signaled Xia Wenyue to retreat before getting to the point and mentioning the situation of Yu Qin to Xia Shenglan.
Of course, Lu Changan expressed in a more subtle way that the Wufu Chamber of Commerce is now in trouble both internally and externally, and asked the Xia Clan to be on guard against Yu Qin.
The main reason is that there is no evidence.
Indeed, when Yu Qin visited us last time, she had the intention to seduce us, but she didn't follow through, so there is no proof.
"Fellow Daoist Lu thinks Yu Qin has a problem? Do you have any evidence?"
Xia Shenglan's eyebrows knit lightly, showing a thoughtful face.
Lu Changan smiled, "There is no evidence, just intuition, just for reference."
"I am aware of this matter and will remind Mingqu. Just that, Mingqu has recently prepared to impact the late stage of Foundation Establishment......"
Xia Shenglan looked hesitant.
"Impacting the late stage of Foundation Establishment?"
Lu Changan understood Xia Shenglan's concern.
The late stage of Foundation Establishment is an important hurdle, and it is best to avoid disturbances in your emotions and state of mind.
......
After Xia Shenglan left Autumn Wind Island, she thought about it and still planned to meet Xia Mingqu once.
Xia Mingqu is the next generation helmsman trained by the clan, and if his mind would be affected by even this small matter, then there is no need to waste the clan's resources anymore.
Inside the young master's residence.
"Sister Shengrande, recently I am going to retreat for cultivation, the patriarch and father are sitting at the Chamber of Commerce's general helm, the large and small matters within the clan, I will have to bother to work hard for you."
Xia Mingqu showed enough respect and trust for this cousin who had returned from a foreign marriage.
"No hard work, it's all part of the job."
Xia Shenglan nodded without polite pleasantries, then mentioned the meeting with Lu Changan just now.
"Lu Chang'an suspected Qin'er?"
Xia Mingqu sniffed and couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
Half a month ago, Yu Qin came over and complained that Lu Chang'an had done that obscene thing when he was taking his pulse, taking advantage of the situation.
For the sake of the family's stability and personal honor, Xia Mingqu suppressed the matter and did not tell others.
Xia Shenglan's arrival, Xia Mingqu's heart is not sure, so he no longer hide it.
"So, you believe Yu Qin's words?" Xia Shenglan's face was slightly cold.
"Not so much, Qin's words, I believe at most three times. After all, from the intelligence from Liang's side, Lu Chang'an has a good character reputation and is a good old man."
Xia Mingqu shook his head and said.
Once the old lover came over to join, Xia Mingqu had sent his clan to investigate: Yu Qin was indeed expelled by the Jing country clan Yunxia Mountain, the family declined, the general vein of the past is clear.
"How are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Although Qin was once in love with me, but after so many years, her feelings have faded a lot, so naturally she can't be compared to Rune Master Lu."
Xia Mingqu said in a calm tone.
"It's good that you understand."
Xia Shenglan face slightly clear, and regardless of personal feelings, at least Xia Mingqu in the general direction did not make a mistake.
Lu Changan, as a late stage Foundation Establishment, owns a demonic beast of the same rank, and his talisman master skills have reached the quasi third rank. This kind of status is not much worse than that of a False Pill Realist.
......
It was late in the evening.
Inside the quiet room, Lu Changan sat cross-legged, comprehending the secret method of transforming pills that he had traded from Zhang Tieshan.
This secret method was called the "Return to Dust Dan Transformation Method", which Lu Chang'an had already comprehended in his spare time.
Due to the lack of guidance from his mentor, after many years of obtaining this method, there were still a few details that he hadn't fully realized.
Lu Chang'an had cultivated to the peak of JieDan in his previous life, and he had a high level of realm and insight.
From this, we can see the importance of mentorship.
Many Immortal Cultivation clans' mastery techniques, even if unintentionally passed on, would still be difficult to cultivate in the hands of ordinary cultivators.
"Zhang Tieshan doesn't have the mentorship of a YuanYing True Monarch, yet he dares to take the path of HuanDan, his chances are really not small......."
Lu Changan thought of the letter sent from Liang some time ago. Zhang Tieshan was chased by the True Dan and lost his voice.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tieshan's fate is uncertain.
Lu Chang'an was certain that Zhang Tieshan might have taken the opportunity to go incognito and secretly remodeled his body with the True Dan.
"In two years at most, I will be able to reach the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Even without the guidance of a famous teacher, before the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, I should be able to figure out and eat through this secret method."
Lu Chang'an pondered.
"Even if I fail to transform the dan and attract backlash, I will consume my longevity and perform the Evergreen Secret Method, so I don't have to worry about damaging my foundation."......"
Regarding this point, Lu Changan had verified it when Guan Qiaozhi failed to build her foundation back then.
Zee!
The Ground Rock Rat unknowingly surfaced from Lu Chang'an's side.
"Oh?"
Lu Chang'an listened for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and let the Ground Rock Rat go underground to cultivate.
He murmured, "The decision makers at the top of the Xia Clan have not disappointed me."
Originally, when Xia Shenglan went to talk to Xia Mingqu, he was overheard by the ground rock rats.
Normally, Lu Chang'an would not probe into other people's privacy, nor was he that interested.
However, Young Master Xia's attitude and decisions would affect Lu Chang'an's future plans in the Xia Clan.
If Young Master Xia is mesmerized by Yu Qin, and his heart becomes hostile, Lu Chang'an will not stay in the Xia Clan for long.
"Yu Qin is a woman who really uses the trick of separation. If I am forced to leave, then the strength of the Xin Clan will be no weaker than the Xia Clan."
For the Xia Clan and the Xin Clan, every late stage Foundation Establishment is an important figure in the party.
Not to mention Lu Chang'an, this kind of extraordinary late stage Foundation Establishment.
As long as he is in Qing Sha Bay, the Xia Clan's rear will be stable and will be able to provide the Xia Clan with high-grade talismans.
When he thought about the two suspicions that he had discovered earlier, Lu Changan probably guessed Yu Qin's next plan.
......
A few days later, Lu Chang'an took the initiative to visit Xia Shenglan's dojo.
In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship has a tendency of warming up and reuniting.
In fact, Lu Chang'an was only using this as an opportunity to give Xia Shenglan a few pointers.
As for whether or not Young Master Xia would eventually listen, Lu Chang'an didn't care.
As an envoy of the Xia Clan, he could not be considered to have done his duty, but he had fulfilled his basic obligation.
The third day after Lu Chang'an visited Xia Shenglan.
Yu Qin came to Autumn Wind Island again to ask for medicine.
Lu Chang'an didn't bother to pay attention and let this woman have a closed door.
"There is no need for the medicine that my concubine seeks to have Master Lu Fu personally do it."
Yu Qin didn't get angry, her bright eyes and teeth were shining.
She smiled and looked for Xia Wen Yue, asking the latter to pick some herbs and help configure medicines and scented capsules.
After purchasing, Yu Qin did not forget to pull Xia Wen Yue and chat with her.
Yu Qin is a senior at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so Xia Wen Yue could not refuse and had to accompany her.
Lu Chang'an ignored this and asked the ground rock rat to secretly look after Xia Wen Yue.
......
Lu Chang'an ignored this and had the ground rock rat secretly watch over Xia Wenyue.
Young Master Xia began closed door cultivation to impact the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Lu Chang'an knew the progress of Xia Mingqu's cultivation at a glance.
Breaking through at this stage is no big deal.
But given Xia Mingqu's age, he could have polished it for another year or two. The reason why he broke through as soon as possible was probably to add a powerful combatant of the late Foundation Establishment stage to the family.
The Xia and Xin clans each have a False Pill Realist to keep each other in check.
The False Pill real person, the cultivation can not be improved, except for a small number of special existence, the strength is not bad.
The real influence on the situation is the late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
When Xia Mingqu was in seclusion.
Xia Shenglan and Yu Qin, waiting outside the door as protectors.
Given the duo's relationship with Young Lord Xia, it makes sense.
A few days later.
Inside the secret room, a rising fluctuation of mana surged, vaguely touching the level of the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
But not for long, the rising momentum of the mana fluctuation, came to an abrupt end, fell out of thin air.
Wow!
Inside the chamber, Xia Mingqu spat out a mouthful of blue-purple poisonous blood, and the remaining mana shockwave blasted into the wall.
"Mingqu!"
Xia Shenglan's face changed, opening the door to the secret room, breaking in.
"What kind of poison is this? I clearly checked the elixir......"
Xia Mingqu's handsome white face, green and red, his body shook lightly, his expression shook in disbelief.
Such a condition is obviously a failure of the impact, the poisonous method backfired.
......
Yu Qin walked to the entrance of the chamber, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Xia Shenglan looked back and glared angrily, "Yu Qin! Did you poison them?"
These days, other than her, only Yu Qin and Xia Young Lord had close contact.
As for Lu Chang'an, he hasn't come to Xia Mingqu's residence since he returned to his clan.
"Giggle, that's not a poison, but a mixture of strange medicines, made by neutralizing perfume scent and several medicinal powders. As long as the impact of the realm bottleneck, this mixed secret medicine will be attacked, so that the qi and blood boiling, the heart barriers frequent......"
Outside the door, Yu Qin's soft and charming voice came through with a sarcastic tone.
Not waiting for Xia Shenglan and Xia Mingqu to react.
This woman's words have not yet fallen.
Hidden in the pink sleeves of her dress, she grasped a black pearl and threw it into the secret room.
A black fire exploded, covering ten feet, at the same time there is a large area of black poisonous smoke spread, covering dozens of feet square.
Not looking at the result.
Yu Qin, who was wearing a pink dress, transformed into a recluse and leapt above the poisonous smoke.
"Giggle, if not for the medicinal herbs that Master Lu Fu helped with, my concubine wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly."
Yu Qin's charming melon face was glowing with a bright reddish luster.
A pair of brimming autumn water eyes glanced playfully at the direction of Autumn Wind Island.
Before fleeing, he did not forget to throw a mouthful of dirty water.
"Yu Qin! You dare to poison the young lord!"
At the Qing Shui Wan's residence, a foundation stage clan elder soon ordered his clan members to chase after Yu Qin.
Yu Qin was unperturbed.
Most of the senior members of the Xia Clan are involved in the Xin Clan, and they sit at the head office of the Chamber of Commerce and other sub-offices to maintain the business.
Nowadays, there are only four Foundation Stage people in Qingshawan.
There are only four Foundation stage people in the Qing Sha Wan clan.
Lu Chang'an's Qiufeng Island is located in a remote place, a distance away from the hinterland of Qingsha Bay, so he can't get there so quickly.
In other words, there were only three Xia Clan Foundation builders who were really after her.
However, Xia Mingqu and Xia Shenglan were injured by her, so they were unable to do anything.
In fact, the biggest variable is Lu Changan.
From the information available, with Lu Changan's strength, he can take her down alone.
"Lu Changan, who has the strongest strength, was too late to support. Moreover, with his reputation as the 'Turtle Talisman Master' in Liang, he will never put out his full strength!"
Yu Qin was sure of his victory.
This comes from the intelligence of the forces behind him, as well as his own fumbling in the Xia Clan, the result of his familiarity with the geographical environment.
I don't want to talk about it. The first half of the year, two times, people are impotent, as if by the female ghost drained energy. Now do what no energy, including games, reading books, movies, foot washing......
Make a wish: I'll try to update steadily in the second half of the year and earn some money for my retirement.
