Chapter 72: Meeting Qingxuan Again
The two of them took their seats in the house, and Guan Qiaozhi was quick to serve tea and water.
"Master Lu Fu is a great hermit in the city, raising turtles and planting grass, his days are quite leisurely."
Mu Maode took off his hat and looked at the beautiful Guan Qiaozhi, his mood was inexplicably low and sad.
"Elder Mu fallacious praise, Lu Mou is only a casual cultivator, a little clumsy skills, can not afford the name of hermit."
Lu Chang'an said humbly.
The two of them drank spiritual tea and chatted for a few moments.
Many years ago, Mu Maode retired to the second line in the family, and the position of the family head was given to a rich and powerful man at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"If Senior Mu has any orders, he can have someone send a message, there is no need to come personally."
Lu Chang'an guessed that Mu Maode must have something to do with this visit. "Rune Master Lu, my Mu Family has a favor to ask of you."
Mu Maode put away his emotions, his tone was solemn, and his stance was placed relatively low.
"Begging me?"
Lu Chang'an asked himself, what could he do to help the Mu family as a weakling at the 9th level of Qi Refining on the surface?
"The Mu Family needs a favor on you."
Hearing this, Lu Changan guessed Mu Maode's intention.
In the past few years, the Maple Leaf Huang Family and the Mu Family have gradually started friction, and the younger generation has suffered casualties from each other.
In the past few years, the Huang family and the Mu family have been in conflict, with each other's younger generation suffering casualties.
The Mu family tries its best to tolerate the situation.
However, the Huang family's goal is to annex the Mu family, and there is no way to avoid it.
Sooner or later, the two clans will start a war.
The only powerful Immortal Cultivation force that has taken care of the Mu Clan in the surrounding area is the Royal Beast Zhou Clan.
The Zhou family's beast genius, Zhou Qingxuan, owes Lu Changan a favor.
After all these years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and has taken a place in the Beast Control Zhou Family.
"Elder Mu, Zhou Qingxuan during her teenage years did owe Lu a favor. But after so many years have passed, Zhou Qingxuan has become a Foundation Establishment Senior, and may not necessarily admit to the childish words of earlier years."
"If I were to combine my efforts to convince Zhou Qingxuan, I'm afraid that would be unrealistic."
Lu Chang'an methodically said.
There was nothing wrong with consuming a favor and helping the Fei Yuehu Mu family.
However, he did not want to directly interfere in the dispute between the two clans and get caught in the middle of the vortex.
Mu Maode smiled bitterly, ''I naturally know that a small favor in the early years is difficult to influence the decision making of the Zhou Family's senior management. Nowadays, the conflict between the Royal Beast Zhou Clan and the Ten Thousand Swords Zhuo Clan has escalated, and there is no spare capacity to take care of us."
"Contacting you this time is not to persuade the Zhou Family to take shelter."
He slowed down his tone a bit and explained the reason:
"We want to privately approach the Zhou Family to purchase a second-rank spirit beast. We don't expect a second-rank spirit beast in its prime, an old and weak second-rank spirit beast with a short lifespan is acceptable to us."
After listening, Lu Changan mused, "If it's just a private match, it's possible to give it a try. But I don't guarantee that it will work, and I won't be involved in the specific transaction."
"Rune Master Lu only needs to contact Zhou Qingxuan privately to facilitate this transaction. Whether it works or not, this is a token of the Mu Family's appreciation."
Mu Maode's age-spotted face squeezed out a smile and handed over a bag containing spirit stones.
Looking at the nearly one hundred year old elder.
Lu Chang'an was from a family in his previous life, and he understands the pain and hardship involved.
The Immortal Cultivation Clan is bound by blood ties.
When you are born in the clan, you are cultivated since childhood, cultivate immortality and learn the art, get married and have concubines, and your children and grandchildren spread their branches in this land, and your life's work is poured into it.
This is a clan cultivator!
He is firmly tied to his family and is bound to them for the rest of his life.
"Mister Lu was once a member of the Mu Clan, I'm just helping out with a word, this bag of spirit stones is unnecessary."
Lu Chang'an repeatedly excused himself and didn't ask for the spirit stones.
Mu Maode's heart is very relieved, although Lu Changan is out of the Mu family, but he did not look at the wrong person back then.
At least he is not a man who is unsympathetic and unsympathetic.
"The Yellow Dragon Immortal City has recently organized a large-scale auction house, Zhou Qingxuan, on behalf of the Imperial Beast Zhou Family, is preparing to sell a number of spirit beasts and cubs."
"She is currently at the Zhou Family's compound in the inner city, so you should contact her privately. If I were to go there, I am afraid that it would cause the Huang family to be alerted."
Mu Maode explained the situation.
He had retired to the second line in the Mu Family for many years, and with his life span nearing its end and his body failing, he was not much valued by the Huang Family.
It would be different if he showed up at the Zhou Family's compound.
"Senior Mu please be careful."
The two of them discussed some details, Mu Maode put his bucket hat back on and got up to leave the Water Moon Residence.
......
Lu Chang'an did not rush into action.
He bathed and burned incense inside the house, and used medicinal water to remove the smell of spirit pets from his body.
Zhou Qingxuan was gifted in beast control, which Lu Changan had learned about when she was still a young girl.
According to common sense, through her sense of smell, this woman can at most determine what kind of spirit beast she has raised, and it is difficult to determine the actual cultivation of the Xuan Shui Turtle.
But she had to be on guard.
The secrets and risks of the Immortal Cultivation World are relative. If Lu Changan was a Foundation Cultivator, the Xuan Shui Turtle's growth was a bit abnormal, not a big problem.
The Royal Beast Zhou Family holds a lot of untold secrets of cultivating spirit beasts, so why would they ever be afraid of being coveted?
If it was a Yuan Ying True Lord, the secret of the Evergreen Technique wouldn't be exposed.
......
Two days later.
Lu Changan left the Xuan Shui Turtle in the courtyard for Guan Qiaozhi to take care of.
Alone, he entered the bustling area of the inner city.
His divine sense probed the surroundings and confirmed that no one was following him.
Lu Chang'an changed his appearance at the inn, adjusting his musculoskeletal structure through the Body Refining Technique, transforming into a brocade-clad young man
He also adjusted his breath through the Evergreen Technique.
Experienced people may be able to recognize the disguise, but they can't see the real appearance.
Half an hour later, Lu Chang'an arrived at the Zhou family's compound.
As a cultivator of the 9th level of qi refining, the guards of the Zhou family's compound could not be ignored.
"My name is Lu, I used to be an old acquaintance with your clan's Elder Zhou Qingxuan, please help pass on the message, here is the token."
Lu Changan took out an envelope with five spirit stones and handed it to the guarding cultivator.
In the envelope, there was a top-grade talisman of "Frost Drop".
Wait for a long time.
"But Mr. Lu? My master calls you in."
A servant girl of the Zhou family came out and brought Lu Changan into the garrison.
The Zhou family's compound was a large mansion, it had no problem accommodating hundreds of people.
Not long after, he arrived at a quiet courtyard.
The maid invited Lu Changan to enter the house.
This is a quiet room, sandalwood incense curls up, accompanied by the fragrance of a woman like a lotus.
A yellow-skirted girl with a jade-like face was sitting on a futon at the top of the room.
Zhou Qingxuan is still youthful, her face and temperament are even better than before, less playful and cunning, more dignified and beautiful.
"I, Lu Changan, have met Senior Zhou."
Lu Chang'an entered the room, bowed a salute, in advance of the lifting of disguise disguise, otherwise it would appear to be disrespectful.
"Lu Chang'an? I remember you, the turtle talisman master."
Zhou Qingxuan let out a light laugh, revealing a grasping expression, breaking her dignified demeanor.
Lu Chang'an's heart was strange: this woman's mood had not changed much, so she had probably forgotten her name and still relied on "turtle talisman master" to recall her memories.
"Senior Zhou even remembers me, I am honored!"
"Speak up, what is it that you are looking for me for."
Ignoring Lu Changan's compliments, Zhou Qingxuan's tone was flat, without any intention of catching up.
Lu Changan wasn't surprised at all.
If he was a Foundation Establishment Elder, he wouldn't be interested in exchanging pleasantries with a Qi Refining junior.
"Back to senior Zhou, Fei Yue Lake Mu family would like to privately buy a second-order spirit beast from your clan, can accept old and weak second-order spirit beasts that do not have much longevity,"
Facing a cultivator with high status, one should be open and concise.
"Second-order spirit beast?"
Zhou Qingxuan sneered, "Every second rank spirit beast is the Zhou family's heritage, not to mention that my clan is facing off against the Wan Jian Zhuo family, and is in need of battle power."
"Lu Changan, how dare you open this mouth?"
