Chapter 50 Thick and Thin
Lu Chang'an's speech in front of the tombstone seemed like a dawn that lit up the darkness, brightening the hearts of the cultivators present.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is right, the dead have passed away and the living are like this. May we share the same encouragement and the path of immortality be evergreen."
Beside Zhao Siyao, a stoic youth with slightly darker skin opened his mouth to praise.
Looking at this youth at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Lu Changan felt familiar and quickly remembered, "Your Excellency is Zhang Tieshan, Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
"I haven't seen you in twenty years, it's surprising that Fellow Daoist Lu still remembers Mister Zhang."
Zhang Tieshan nodded.
With a relieved face, he sighed, "When we met in Hengshui Mansion back then, Fellow Daoist Lu should have advised Fellow Daoist Lin not to follow Mister Zhang to the Murderous Mansion to exterminate the ghosts."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changan's heart stirred.
Zhang Tieshan's tone had a bit of shame in it.
Afterwards, Lu Chang'an learned that Lin Yi's death had something to do with Zhang Tieshan.
"Twenty years ago, Lin Yi followed Zhang Tieshan to exterminate the ghosts in the murder house, and had a small harvest, since then the two of them have had friendship and dealings."
Zhang Tieshan's qualifications were ordinary, but his will was strong, his combat was not bad, he was quite talented in fighting, and he often received missions from the sect to kill evil cultivators who were wanted by the sect.
Lin Yi's Hidden Immortal Pavilion, on the other hand, provided Zhang Tieshan with intelligence as well as assistance.
After a while, there were other disciples from other sects who also sought Lin Yi's help and paid him.
"Twenty years later, Lin Yi led the cultivators of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion to assist the disciples of the Golden Cloud Valley in rounding up wanted criminals, and encountered an ambush, and died of serious injuries."
Reviewing the twenty years before and after this, Lu Changan sighed.
Back then, when Lin Yi chose to go with Zhang Tieshan to exterminate the ghosts in the murderous mansion, the trajectory of destiny seemed to have laid the groundwork for today's ending.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang doesn't need to blame himself, Brother Lin will definitely not regret his decision."
Lu Changan thought in his heart that if Lin Yi hadn't befriended Zhang Tieshan, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy the scenery that he did later on. He single-handedly created the Hidden Immortal Pavilion, absorbing scattered cultivators, accumulating resources, and allowing his son to smoothly enter the Golden Cloud Valley.
With Lin Yi's qualifications, it is impossible for him to build a foundation in his lifetime.
Even if he doesn't fall today, he will only live for a few more decades.
"Lin Lu, your father left a lot of belongings for you when he was alive. In the future, you must cultivate practically, one step at a time."
Zhang Tieshan encouraged him.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang."
Lin Lu spoke respectfully and bowed his head in shame.
He thought of how he had fought with someone in the sect over a beautiful female cultivator and how Zhang Tieshan had warned him about this matter.
......
In front of Lin Yi's grave, the cultivators he had befriended during his lifetime had basically arrived.
Some people offered incense to pay tribute, while others spilled wine in front of the tombstone.
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Tieshan took the lead and proposed to take care of Lin Yi's son.
In addition to the care in the clan.
This spiritual land of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion had better be preserved.
Lin Lu is now twenty years old, at the fourth level of qi refining, and a disciple of the sect, his strength is no less than that of his father.
As long as the cultivators here give the word, other cultivators will not dare to covet Lin Lu's inheritance and this spiritual land.
As for whether or not the Hidden Immortal Pavilion should be maintained, that would be Lin Lu's own business.
Lin Yi was buried seven days later.
Zhang Tieshan and the other cultivators said their goodbyes and left.
"Lin Lu, how is Xia Feilun, who was captured by your father to refine pills in the underground palace back then?"
Lu Changan asked privately.
Lin Lu looked slightly unnatural and replied, "According to my father's will before he was born, he has been made to take poison and kill himself."
Lu Chang'an did not comment, he just wanted to know the result.
If Xia Feilun was still alive, he would have hated Lin Yi and his son, and even implicated Lu Changan and the others.
"Before my father died, he urged me to learn from you, Uncle Lu, so that I can survive for a long time in the Immortal Cultivation World."
Lin Lu said softly.
Lu Chang'an froze, not expecting Lin Yi's will before his death to praise himself.
This time we met, Lin Lu was a little less arrogant.
In front of the tombstone, only Zhao Siyao, Lu Chang'an, and Li Erdog were left, three alien cultivators.
After explaining a few more things, the three of them left.
......
Flying out of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion's valley.
Lu Changan chatted with Zhao Siyao for a few moments, mainly about the latter's progress in building her foundation.
"The contributions have been gathered and I've applied to the sect for redemption. One of the next batch of Foundation Establishment Pills that come out will belong to me."
Zhao Siyao mentioned this matter with a happy tone.
"That's good, congratulations on your early Foundation Establishment, Fellow Daoist Zhao."
Lu Changan and Li Ergu congratulated in advance.
"There is one thing that I have not thanked Fellow Daoist Lu for."
Before saying goodbye, Zhao Siyao had a dignified demeanor and made a bow to Lu Chang'an.
"Several years ago, the two high-quality talismans gifted by Fellow Daoist Lu, in the Black Mist Mountain Range, had provided me with assistance at a critical moment."
"With the friendship between you and I, two top-grade talismans are not worth mentioning."
Lu Chang'an spoke generously, saying beautiful words.
When Zhao Siyao builds her foundation, what are two first grade talismans worth?
"Since our friendship is so deep. Next time if Siyao is lucky enough to build her foundation, I hope that you, Fellow Daoist Lu, won't be so outgoing and won't change your name again."
Zhao Siyao smiled playfully and waved goodbye.
"Change your name?"
Li Er Dog was stunned for a moment and said indistinctly, "According to the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World, if Fellow Daoist Zhao is a Foundation Builder, we have to address her as Senior."
This is how it is in the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivation comes first for the Dao.
As long as it is not a direct lineage, the relationship between master and disciple, seniority is mostly based on cultivation.
"
This woman still remembers so clearly the matter of changing her name in the Immortal Gathering Building, and I'm afraid that she still has a grudge against her!"
Lu Changan laughed bitterly in his heart.
However, the fact that Zhao Siyao left these words today, not allowing Lu Changan to call her "senior" in the future, shows that she truly recognizes each other's friendship, and is not a person who is thin-skinned and unsympathetic.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, there are many ungrateful people.
For example, Lu Chang'an's family in his previous life had produced an extremely gifted Earth Spirit Root Immortal Sapling. The family sent him to the sect and spared no expense in supplying resources. That Earth Spirit Root Immortal Sapling, rightfully claimed it.
Later on, the immortal seedling succeeded in forming the dan, and distanced himself from the clan, not caring about the clan in times of crisis.
The family bloodline is still like this, not to mention the friends outside.
......
The family bloodline is still like this, not to mention the friends outside.
Lu Changan and the two of them returned to Fei Yue Villa.
Lu Changan wanted to return Mu Xiu Yun's flying boat and went to Moonheart Island.
The Moon Heart Island is where the senior members of the family train, and this is the first time Lu Chang'an has visited this place.
He sent a note.
Not long after, Mu Xiu Yun in a plain dress flew out from her cave on the island.
Because she had taken the Facial Treatment Pill, Mu Xiu Yun appeared to be in her twenties, with a bright and colorful face, skin as smooth as grease, and almost no wrinkles to be seen.
After returning the flying boat.
Lu Chang'an proposed to resign from his position as the "chief talisman master" at the workshop spirit talisman store.
Because Lu Chang'an expected to reach the seventh level of qi cultivation within two years, after which he would have to leave the Fei Yue Lake Mu Clan.
"The Spirit Symbol Shop is short of senior talisman masters, so sit in the town for a few more years, and I'll apply for a 'Bi Ning Dan' for you, okay?"
She pursed her red lips, her starry eyes revealing a hint of expectation.
"No need, Mu Ershun and Mu Shan can almost pick up the slack, the Spirit Talisman Shop's reserve of cold talismans is enough to last for several years."
Lu Chang'an arched his hand to bid farewell.
Seeing off the distant white-robed back.
Mu Xiu Yun realized something, the clear and elegant face looked downcast, stood for a long time.
......
The Fiddler's Moon Villa.
Lu Chang'an returns to his long-lost lakeside compound.
He opened the formation prohibition and immediately began his closed-door cultivation.
Speaking of seclusion, he only needed to cultivate for one or two hours a day, which was slightly less effective than Bamboo Leaf Mountain.
One or two years will pass in an instant.
On this day, a strong fluctuation of mana surged from the lakeside courtyard, resonating with the earth and sky.
It was difficult to conceal it with ordinary formations.
"Seventh level of qi cultivation?"
The family cultivators living nearby couldn't help but sense it.
"A newly promoted Qi Practicing seventh layer, who is it?"
"It seems to be Rune Master Lu!"
"Lu Changan, it's actually him?"
Many cultivators focused on the direction of Lu Chang'an's compound.
At the seventh level of Qi Practicing, it's unremarkable in a clan, but in a Foundation Establishment family, it's considered to be the middle to high level.
If one's seniority is a bit deeper and reaches the eighth level of qi cultivation, one can be considered an elder in the Mu family.
Lu Chang'an's promotion to the seventh level of Qi cultivation did not surprise the older Mu Clan cultivators.
After all, Lu Changan's qualifications are not bad, and he has been practicing hard for many years, and he has the resources of a talisman master to earn spirit stones.
To be promoted to the seventh level of qi cultivation is considered to be a thick and thin accumulation of resources.
......
"Forty-five years old, seventh level of Qi refining!"
Inside the courtyard house, Lu Chang'an felt the Evergreen Mana in his body that had risen by a large margin, and his mood was a bit excited.
"This third life, has finally passed through the most vulnerable stage."
He was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help but let out a light whistle.
The seventh level of qi cultivation, crossing into the late stage of qi refining.
Not only is it a huge increase in mana.
Combined with Lu Chang'an's augmentation from his first two lives, the means of strength that could be utilized more than doubled.
Other than that, Lu Chang'an's current divine sense is almost comparable to that of an early stage Foundation Establishment, and can extend out twenty feet.
This comes from the Nine Seal Tablet's feedback to the soul.
His current strength.
With the Body Refining Technique, a peak first stage spirit pet, powerful talismans, and other cards, he has the ability to save his life even against an ordinary early stage Foundation Establishment.
This was also why Lu Changan planned to cultivate in the Mu Clan until the seventh level of Qi Refining and was ready to leave.
In addition to plotting the chances of Foundation Establishment.
At this stage, he was initially strong enough to walk on a small scale at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation World.
He doesn't need to rely too much on his family's spiritual veins.
Late stage of Qi Refinement, first rank upper grade talisman master.
You can get by in all the major markets in Liang's Immortal Cultivation World.
All the major foundation-building families are willing to recruit him as an envoy.
His status is slightly lower than the original Ge Dan Shi, but his strength is much stronger.
