Chapter 89 Cooperative Transactions

Several years ago, Lu Chang'an sought to meet Zhou Qingxuan at the Zhou Family's compound and had honored him with the title of senior.

Today, there is nothing wrong with calling her Miss Zhou.

When we first met at Bamboo Leaf Mountain, Zhou Qingxuan was still a quirky girl, twenty years younger than Lu Changan.

In terms of age difference, she could be the father of the other.

"Brother Lu, you and I have known each other for decades, so it's too much to call me Miss Zhou. What's the harm in calling her Qingxuan?"

Zhou Qingxuan's smile was bright, her voice was as brittle as a wind chime, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in her playfulness.

At this moment, it was as if she was just a neighboring girl, not a towering genius Foundation Establishment Elder of the Zhou Clan.

Lu DaGuo?

Lu Chang'an couldn't help but have a new understanding of this woman.

If he remembered correctly, the last thing this woman said to him last time was, "I don't want to see you again."

"Miss Zhou is serious, you are the Zhou Family's genius Foundation Establishment. Mister Lu is old and decrepit, how would I dare to overstep my bounds?"

Lu Changan didn't eat the ** soup and welcomed her into the house.

"Brother Lu is too modest... building a foundation at seventy years old is something unusual cultivators can't do. And you are so well maintained."

Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes were smiling, and her delicate and flawless innocent face contrasted with the undulating curves of her gully.

She secretly said: humph! If it wasn't for the trust of my family elders, I wouldn't have come to the door to see you.

......

Guan Qiaozhi served tea and bowed to leave.

The two of them chatted about some past events, mainly the Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market.

Inevitably, they mentioned the auction back then and the rampage of the evil cultivator Liang Shaotian.

Lu Chang'an learned more about how Zhou Qingxuan and his uncle Zhou Jingxuan saved their lives from Liang Shaotian.

"Alas, all these years, I have never heard of that 'Elder Yan'."

Zhou Qingxuan wrinkled her nose, seeming to have regrets.

Lu Chang'an was surprised that after so many years, this woman still had a strong attachment to this matter.

"It's that Liang Shaotian who has become more and more rampant, cultivating the 'Black Dipper Demon Flame' and killing people, destroying several famous foundation builders. In these two years, this fang has established a hidden demonic sect stronghold near the Black Mist Mountain Range on the border of Liang."

Zhou Qingxuan looked deeply disgusted.

Lu Changan had heard of Liang Shaotian's reputation over the years.

The reason for this man's killing spree was that he claimed that the famous sects had thrown dirt on him.

Liang Shao Tian openly stated that he never raped and killed the female cultivators of the Green Bamboo Sect, and that the real murderer back then was a true disciple of the Li Huo Palace.

However, Liang Shaotian's reputation in the Liang cultivation world is very poor, and no one believes his words.

The Departing Fire Palace was the YuanYing level power in Liang, who would dare to question it?

Over the years, the accumulated charges on Liang Shaotian's body had in turn become more and more numerous.

The reason why Zhou Qingxuan had reintroduced Liang Shaotian was because of the territory of the Royal Beast Zhou Clan, which was close to a small branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

Liang Shao Tian's hidden stronghold was located at the border of Liang Kingdom, also near the Black Mist Mountain Range, not too far from the Royal Beast Zhou Family.

......

"Miss Zhou's visit this time, I don't think she's looking for Mister Lu to catch up on old times."

Lu Changan sipped a mouthful of spirit tea.

"Brother Lu, truth be told. Qingxuan was entrusted by her family this time to invite you to become our Zhou Family's envoy."

Zhou Qingxuan said with a straight face.

Lu Chang'an was not surprised by this.

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a Second Order Talisman Master, and having the reputation of an Ancient Foundation Establishment, it was normal for him to be noticed by the Royal Beast Zhou Family.

"Lu is new to Foundation Establishment and has not been a Second Order Rune Master for long, so what are his virtues and abilities."

Lu Chang'an said politely.

Zhou Qingxuan then spilled the truth:

The existing second-ranked talisman master of the Royal Beast Zhou Family is approaching the end of his life, and the talisman inheritance is not enough.

It's not that the Zhou Family doesn't have enough talent.

Most of the Zhou family's talents are in the field of beast control, followed by alchemy and talisman arts.

When Lu Changan was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he had displayed a second-order talisman in front of Zhou Qingxuan, and after advancing to Foundation Establishment, he was a solid second-order talisman master. Moreover, Lu Changan has a good character and has the bonus of fame.

Zhou Qingxuan had another layer of hidden information that she didn't tell.

Fu Xuemei owed Lu Changan a favor, which was also valued by the Imperial Beast Zhou Family.

The Imperial Beast Zhou Clan is located in the northwest of Liang, near a small branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

The Yellow Dragon Immortal City is located directly north, adjacent to the large branch of the Black Mist Mountain Range.

The distance between the two sides wasn't too far, nor was it too close.

The Imperial Beast Zhou Clan has always wanted to deepen their relationship with the Yellow Dragon Mountain lineage and promote cooperation.

The Zhou Family's senior management learned that Zhou Qingxuan and Lu Chang'an had known each other in their early years, so they sent her over to draw them together.

This was the reason why Zhou Qingxuan personally came to the door.

......

"Brother Lu, the earth spirit pill I sold you last time, my little sister took the wrong one. This Second Order Earth Spirit Pill is a right to make up for that year's omission."

Zhou Qingxuan smiled wryly and handed over a teal-colored porcelain bottle.

"Oh?"

Lu Changan took the porcelain bottle, and inside was a second-stage lower-grade Earth Spirit Pill with normal medicinal effects.

This act of Zhou Qingxuan was considered an apology.

"Second Order Earth Spirit Pill, it can raise the cultivation level of an Earth Spirit Beast."

Lu Chang'an accepted it without moving.

Zee!

Scenting the tantalizing scent of the Earth Spirit Pill, the Ground Rock Rat burrowed out from a hole in the earth at the foot of the courtyard.

It scurried up to Lu Chang'an and watched with bated breath.

"A second-stage ground rock rat?"

Zhou Qingxuan couldn't help but be stunned.

She had just entered the courtyard, and although she had smelled the scent of a Ground Rock Rat, she did not expect this rat to have successfully advanced.

"Incorrect! This Earth Rock Rat's bloodline has mutated, and its demonic power aura is much stronger than that of an ordinary rat demon."

Zhou Qingxuan's face was filled with suspicion, her cherry mouth wide open as she stared intently at the ground rock rat.

"Thanks to the Earth Spirit Pill that Miss Zhou gave me. Although the medicinal properties are abnormal, but under the circumstances, it allowed this rat to successfully ascend to the second stage, and its bloodline mutated."

Lu Chang'an said half-truthfully.

He has a long history of raising spirit pets and has no intention of hiding them from the public.

A second-ranked ground rock rat can reveal his strength.

Lu Chang'an also had certain needs for the Royal Beast Zhou Clan, such as the skins of demonic beasts in the middle to late second stage.

"Bloodline mutation?"

Surveying the orange and purple robust rat demon in front of her, Zhou Qingxuan was a bit dumbfounded, her breasts undulating.

The Earth Spirit Pill she had sent, with its abnormal medicinal properties, had actually allowed Lu Changan to get lucky?

Even Zhou Qingxuan doesn't dare to confirm the consequences of the abnormal medicinal properties of the Earth Spirit Pill.

Normally, 90% of the results will be bad, but we can't rule out the possibility of triggering a bloodline mutation.

"Big brother Lu is really lucky to be able to build a foundation in his old age."

Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes blinked, as if she wanted to reacquaint herself with Lu Chang'an.

The Xuan Shui Turtle was cultivating healthily, and its progress exceeded expectations.

The Earth Rock Rat's bloodline has mutated, and it has been promoted to the second stage.

Luck is one aspect, but Lu Chang'an has more or less a small secret in terms of imperial beasts.

Now, Lu Changan has become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a Second Order Talisman Master, accompanied by a Second Order Spirit Beast, and has an inspirational reputation.

Even the Beast Control Zhou Family is unable to pry into its secrets.

"Brother Lu, did you obtain a copy of the Royal Beast Inheritance?"

Zhou Qingxuan's eyes were soft and charming, and her delicate face, which could be blown apart, slowly approached, emitting a lotus-like body fragrance.

"Miss Zhou, don't think too much. Mister Lu is only good at healing, and fortunate to have heavenly materials and treasures to successfully cultivate the Xuan Shui Turtle."

Lu Chang'an dismissed her thoughts.

"The way of a veterinarian?"

Zhou Qingxuan thought secretly, her mind coming alive.

Veterinary medicine is also one of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation.

If one's medical skills were good enough, it would not be a delusion to nurse the sickly Xuan Shui Turtle back to health and promote its growth.

......

"Miss Zhou, Mister Lu is used to freedom, it is impossible for me to join the Imperial Beast Zhou Clan. However, I and your clan can cooperate."

Lu Chang'an didn't beat around the bush and stated his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingxuan was slightly disappointed, but she had reached her basic expectations.

If you can't recruit them, you can still get them to cooperate with you.

"Our Zhou family has a demand for specific second-order talismans. If Brother Lu can fulfill it, we can provide excellent talisman drawing materials and trade with you." "Oh, which second-order talismans?"

Lu Chang'an inquired, most of them were traps and bindings, it was not difficult to defeat himself.

"Not much of a problem, I hope that the Royal Beast Zhou Family, can provide me with the skins of demonic beasts of the late second rank."

Lu Changan made his request.

"Late Second Order Demonic Beast Skin?"

Zhou Qingxuan stared roundly, not expecting Lu Chang'an to be so loud-mouthed.

A late second stage demonic beast is so powerful that its skin is rare to see in Huanglong Immortal City.

"I want to make a second-order mid-grade talisman, but I lack the skills to do so, so I can only use higher materials to downgrade and increase the success rate."

Lu Chang'an sighed.

"Second-order mid-grade talisman?"

Zhou Qingxuan's eyes flickered, guessing that Lu Chang'an had become a Second Order Lower Grade Talisman Master at the ninth level of Qi Refining, after all, he had good talent and was that old.

Now that he had been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his mana and divine sense had risen greatly, and he was already able to attempt to refine mid-grade talismans.

It is quite common for talisman masters to use higher specification materials to improve their success rate when their skills are not enough.

Second-order medium-grade talismans are equivalent to the spells of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and are very scarce on the market.

Ordinary Immortal Cultivation Families can use one of these talismans as a base card.

Even the Beast Control Zhou Family needs to stock up on this powerful tool.

"If Brother Lu can refine a second-order mid-grade talisman that meets our requirements, it wouldn't be impossible for the Zhou Family to provide a second-order late-stage demonic beast skin."

Zhou Qingxuan mused.

Lu Changan's heart was delighted, worthy of being the Royal Beast Zhou Family, it could come up with late second-order demonic beast skins.

The contacts from the past came into play.

Through normal means, if you want to buy the materials for a Second Order Upper Grade Talisman in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, you can't get it.
