Chapter 69 - Ninth Level of Qi Refining

To Mu Ershun, Lu Chang'an is not only his Uncle Lu, but also counts as his Rune Art Master.

This kind of relationship is only second to his biological father.

Mu Ershun was 37 or 38 years old, nearly 40 years old.

With a cultivation of the seventh level of Qi Refining and a senior first-order mid-grade talisman master, he could not have achieved what he has today without Lu Chang'an's promotion.

"Ershun, I haven't seen you for many years, you look more and more like your father."

Lu Changan smiled and saw Mu Ershun's slightly raised belly.

He beckoned for Mu Ershun and Lin Lu to come in and sit.

"Uncle Lu, this is the gift my father asked me to bring."

Mu Ershun handed over a storage bag.

Lu Chang'an opened the storage bag and with a cursory glance, he was slightly moved.

Inside the bag were all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, worth several hundred spirit stones.

These materials were the same as the one Zhao Siyao had gifted back then, and none of them were duplicated.

"I appreciate your father's feelings."

Lu Chang'an did not excuse himself and accepted the material.

Even if these materials, basically overlapped with what he had collected.

But one of them was a sheepskin vase.

The clarified liquid inside was the "February Tears", the complementary medicine that Lu Chang'an currently lacked.

The value and efficacy of February Tear itself is not outstanding, and it has to be generated in a specific environment, so it is hard to come by.

In this way, Lu Changan only lacked the Xuan Ling Fruit for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"With Er Qing's worth, at most a part-time spiritual plant husband, he can easily come up with this resource? Moreover, he's going to be scheming for Foundation Establishment all the same."

Lu Chang'an sensed something.

He immediately asked Mu Ershun about Mu Jiuan.

"Jiu'an was discipled by a Foundation Establishment Senior and left Fei Yue Lake a year ago."

Mu Ershun replied.

This statement is different from what was mentioned in the letter.

Li Erqing is not that simple peasant boy, life experience is rich, it is normal to have a city.

Lu Changan speculated that there might be hidden details in this matter that were not mentioned in the letter.

Mu Ershun came to Huanglong Immortal City, mainly to greet his father and send a filial piety.

He stayed for two days, got Lu Chang'an's instruction on talisman art, and left the Yellow Dragon Immortal City.

......

Two years later.

Lu Chang'an was sixty-one years old and his cultivation was approaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

On this day, news of Taoist Master Guan's death came.

He died suddenly, earlier than Lu Chang'an expected.

Guan Qiaozhi cried like a tearful person, blaming herself for being distracted and not taking good care of her master.

Lu Chang'an examined the body and confirmed that it was a normal death.

A few months before his death, Mr. Guan had been buying life-extending tonics.

At first, he was able to take the tonic, but in reality, it was a poison that pushed his body's functions to the breaking point.

Guan was Lu Chang'an's guide to cultivate immortality in this life.

Out of respect, he and Guan Qiaozhi organized the funeral together.

According to the will of Daoist Master Guan, everything was kept simple and the ashes were sprinkled in the mountains around Huanglong Immortal City.

Guan Qiaozhi, as a disciple, observed the mourning for 100 days.

After that, she officially moved to Water Moon Residence to take care of Lu Chang'an's life.

......

When Guan Qiaozhi entered the house, Lu Chang'an did not organize any banquet or wedding ceremony.

Guan Qiaozhi is the first person to have a wedding ceremony in China.

If it was a concubine, some cultivators would notify their friends and relatives and organize a banquet out of importance.

Lu Chang'an did not hear about it, clearly favoring her as a maid of honor rather than a concubine.

Lu Chang'an saw Guan Qiaozhi's little emotion, and talked to her specifically.

"Qiaozhi, you still have a chance to regret the two choices you made in the beginning."

Lu Chang'an was willing to take in this girl out of Guan Taoist's favor.

Guan Qiaozhi is indeed a bit useful, housekeeping, pet care, making talisman paper, warming the bed and so on, Lu Changan does not reject.

But it is not a necessity.

"Master Lu, I don't regret my decision back then, even as a maid, Qiaozhi is willing to serve you all the time."

Guan Qiaozhi's eyes were bright and pure, and her tone was firm. Her willingness to serve Lu Changan was the result of deep thought.

Firstly, Lu Chang'an had connections and backing, and as a senior top-grade talisman master, he had a stable future.

Second, Lu Chang'an's character was reliable, and his appearance and temperament made her feel good about him.

Although Lu Chang'an was dozens of years older than her, this age difference was nothing in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Of course, Guan Qiaozhi's willingness to do so, in addition to the above two points, may not be without selfishness.

If Lu Chang'an was lucky enough to build his foundation, her status would rise by leaps and bounds.

Common sense told her:

"A sixty-one year old master has a greater chance of failing to build his foundation."

Lu Chang'an had no kinship heir.

When he passes away in a hundred years, the rich inheritance that he has accumulated throughout his life as a first-ranked top-grade talisman master, Guan Qiaozhi will be able to inherit it in name only.

......

After Guan Qiaozhi officially moved in, she took care of the Water Moon Residence in a well-organized manner.

The daily chores, food, pets, and the preparation of the materials for the talismans were all impeccable.

Lu Chang'an has been saved a lot of heartache, enjoying the treatment of Daoist Guan back then, just like having an extra little coat.

He was more absorbed in cultivating his body, practicing his skills, or going out to make friends.

After half a year.

Inside the secret room of Water Moon Residence.

A rising fluctuation of mana comes from the room, bringing with it a spiritual pressure if nothing else.

"At the age of flower and armor, the ninth level of qi refining."

Lu Chang'an's eyes opened, as if precipitating the vicissitudes of the years and the seasons.

The mana in his body increased by two to three percent, vaguely sensing where the upper limit of the Qi Refining Stage was.

It was more or less the same as expected, from the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refining, it took nine years.

In his current life, he reached the age of sixty-two, which is the right age for him.

As a concubine, Guan Qiaozhi, it would not be too much to call him "Master".

The Evergreen Technique of prolonging life makes Lu Chang'an look about twenty years old.

His face is like a crown of jade, handsome and elegant, with a white robe, serene and indifferent.

This youthfulness was not an appearance, but a jade-like quality from the inside out.

Lu Chang'an usually had to restrain his breath, otherwise his temperament would be too outstanding.

"Ninth level of Qi Refining in the year of flower age, and should be able to build a foundation in the year of old age."

Lu Chang'an had already made an estimation.

From the ninth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining, it would still take quite a few years, no less than the eighth to ninth level of Qi Refining.

Theoretically, the ninth level of Qi Refining can also impact Foundation Establishment.

In order to have a deeper foundation, most of the cultivators usually choose to attack Foundation Establishment at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

At Lu Changan's feet, the Xuan Shui Turtle was greedily sucking in the residual breath of the Evergreen Technique.

The true cultivation level of the Xuan Shui Turtle is not too far from the mid-first stage.

This turtle is good at restraining its aura, and has a spiritual connection with Lu Chang'an, and does not display its spell talent in front of anyone other than him.

Guan Qiaozhi is not proficient in beast control, so even if she comes into contact with it from time to time, she can't tell the difference.

"Congratulations Brother Lu, for advancing to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Two days later, Lu Chang'an came out of customs, Guan Qiaozhi was waiting outside the door.

Guan Qiaozhi's face was pure and beautiful, wearing a beige colored jacket, her body was light and delicate.

On that day, Guan Qiaozhi made a table of spiritual food delicacies, a small celebration, so that Lu Chang'an big appetite

Lu Chang'an is in a very happy mood because of his improved cultivation.

Guan Qiaozhi's pretty eyes turned, pursed her pink lips, and her face suddenly turned red.

Cleaned up the dishes and retreated.

This is the first time I've seen this.

Lu Chang'an drew a few talismans and walked out of the talisman room.

"Brother Lu, my concubine is waiting for you to bathe."

Outside the door, there came the voice of a young girl who was charming to the bone.

Guan Qiaozhi's body was only wrapped in a piece of white veil, almost transparent, delicate and convex silhouette hidden.

Outside the veil, revealing the smooth jade shoulders, snow-white slender legs, as if it was a beautiful meal.
