Chapter 10 Three Years Reunion
"Foundation Establishment stage?" Li Ergu couldn't help but be staggered.
He had an ample supply of pills, spiritual rice, and guidance from seniors within his clan, but he didn't even dare to hope for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The so-called Foundation Establishment Stage was just Lu Changan's excuse.
He wanted to remind Li Ergou in passing that the Immortal Cultivation World was treacherous and unpredictable, and that he had to be vigilant in peace. Obviously, Li Erdog did not grasp the point of his words.
......
Liang is a vast country with 32 prefectures.
Each province has six to eight counties under its jurisdiction, with each county encompassing more than ten counties.
Of course, the above does not include the Immortal Blessed Land.
The speed of the spirit horse is very fast.
In less than a month, the two of them arrived at Hengshui Prefecture.
Hengshui City is the political center of Hengshui Prefecture, with three rivers and five lakes, and well-developed water resources.
Li Ergou took out a token from the Little Marquis to enter the city.
"Lu brother, Li brother!"
Not long after, the young marquis Lin Yi took the initiative to welcome out.
The three of them rode in a luxurious carriage and entered Hengshui Prefecture City.
"For the sake of this appointment, I've chartered the Tian Zi No. 1 private room of the Gathering Immortal Building for two months."
Lin Yi was dressed in a brocade suit, with sword eyebrows, less sharp than three years ago, and more brash and enthusiastic.
"Brother Lin, we are not late, are we?" Lu Changan laughed.
"Where! You arrived earlier than I expected. Zhao Siyao said in her letter that she arrived at Hengshui Prefecture in the last two days."
It is said to be a three-year appointment, not just three years, now it has exceeded a period of time.
That night, Lin Yi hosted the two of them at the Marquis' residence.
Two days later.
Lin Yi received news that Zhao Siyao had arrived at Hengshui Mansion.
Finally.
The few Immortal Seedlings that came out of Hengshui Mansion at the beginning were reunited at the initial starting point after three years.
......
Hengshui Mansion, the Heavenly Character Room of the Immortal Gathering Building.
Zhao Siyao, Lin Yi, Lu Chang'an, Li Erdog, and Xia Feilun were gathered at a table for the first time.
Yang Feilun, also an immortal seedling from Hengshui Prefecture, was introverted and mute at first, and did not integrate into the circle of several people.
He barely passed the examination and was lucky enough to become the apprentice of an alchemist after entering the Golden Cloud Valley.
Originally, there was no Yang Feilun in the three-year contract.
In view of his identity as an apprentice alchemist, Lin Yi invited him tentatively, but he didn't want the other party to come to the appointment in the end.
"Miss Zhao, there is no need to excuse yourself! The Immortal Cultivation World is honored by strength, so you can sit in the main seat."
After some excuses, in the end Zhao Siyao sat in the main seat.
Three years later today.
Zhao Siyao is eighteen years old, wearing a goose-yellow dress, with a slender curve, beautiful face and picturesque eyebrows.
Between the knitted brows and the smile, there is a hidden temperament of a great beauty.
When they first met, Lin Yi and Li Ergu couldn't hide the amazement on their faces.
The last time they met, Zhao Siyao was fifteen years old, and she was still a beauty.
Among the four of them, Zhao Siyao had changed the most, both on the outside and on the inside.
She was at the peak of the third level of Qi Refining.
Her cultivation at this point was even slightly better than Lin Yi's by half a step.
Don't look at the fact that she is only one level higher than Li Ergou, the difference is more than one or two years.
Because the peak of the third level of Qi Refining is facing a bottleneck, and the next step is to break into the middle level of Qi Refining.
This bottleneck will take some time to polish.
"Although Zhao Siyao's qualification is also a mid-grade spirit root, her spirit root induction is as high as thirty-six, close to a top-grade spirit root."
Lu Changan thought back to the first level of the Sect Examination, Zhao Siyao's qualification.
Lu Chang'an's Fire Spiritual Root, with a sensibility of over twenty, was barely considered a middle-grade Spiritual Root. His cultivation technique uses the Wood Spirit Root, with a sensibility of eighteen.
The difference between the two is a vast difference.
Not to mention, when Zhao Siyao became an inner disciple of Golden Cloud Valley, the gap would become bigger and bigger.
If Lu Chang'an was just an ordinary cultivator, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to compete with him in this lifetime.
......
Li Ergou's change was second only to Zhao Siyao.
Zhao Siyao, Lin Yi, and Xia Feilun were surprised to learn of Erdog's treatment in the Mu Family.
Who would have thought that a peasant boy with no knowledge or talent would be able to make a name for himself in the Immortal Cultivation Family in just three years.
Lin Yi, who is the son of a prince, is a bit envious and tasteless.
Three years ago, he was seventeen years old, entering the third level of Qi refining, consuming a lot of the royal marquis' wealth and connections.
Later, he failed in the sect examination, and the Marquis of Guang'an was very disappointed in him.
From then on, he lost his support. In the secular world of the spirit-poor land, Lin Yi's qualifications were ordinary, and his cultivation progress was comparable to that of a snail.
After three years, he has yet to reach the peak of the third level of qi refining, and is about to be caught up by Li Ergou.
"However, Lu Changan, who has a medium grade spiritual root, is not doing well either."
Lin Yi's heart felt better as his eyes swept over Lu Chang'an.
"Brother Lu, your qualifications are far superior to Li Er Dog, in the same family, how did you end up in this situation?"
Xia Feilun with a smile on his face, pretended to be surprised.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Siyao and Lin Yi frowned slightly.
Xia Feilun's tone seemed like a flirtation between friends. In fact, he didn't know Lu Chang'an well at all, and hadn't spoken to him before.
Li Ergu was displeased: ''Surname Xia! What do you mean by that? Brother Lu just doesn't want to enter......"
"Brother Lu has a difficult to say, no need to say more."
Zhao Siyao's pair of spiritually beautiful eyes landed on Lu Changan's face, flashing a trace of concern.
In fact, the three of them could guess an approximation of Lu Changan's current situation.
"It's me who misspoke. In lieu of tea, let's drink first."
Xia Feilun snorted, afraid of causing Zhao Siyao's displeasure, and stopped talking.
At this gathering, Xia Feilun didn't care much about Lu Chang'an's trio, and was only courteous to Zhao Siyao, offering courtesies from time to time.
"Not just a 'Big Brother Lu'."
Lu Chang'an was speechless.
His senses were sharp, and Xia Feilun didn't pay much attention to himself when he first arrived.
Only when he heard Zhao Siyao's "Big Brother Lu", his face changed for a moment.
This is also human nature.
Three years ago, Zhao Siyao was able to attract Little Marquis Lin Yi. Not to mention today's proud daughter of the heavens, whose beauty is beyond the ordinary.
Lin Yi's heart was sour, and he didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes for Zhao Si Yao.
However, Xia Feilun, as an apprentice alchemist, has the potential to become an alchemist, with the same Golden Cloud Valley, there are opportunities to pursue.
Alchemist, in the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation is second to none.
......
Next, Xia Feilun seldom spoke, this time three years to go to the appointment, the atmosphere gradually harmonious.
Exchanging cultivation experience, talk about the clan, the cultivation world of strange news and strange things......
Until the evening, the banquet entered the epilogue.
"Miss Zhao, now that you and I are both Immortal Cultivators, we don't need to maintain our worldly names. In the future, why don't we call ourselves Taoist friends?"
Lu Chang'an took the initiative to propose.
This proposal was in line with the customs of the Immortal Cultivation World.
Zhao Siyao was far beyond him in both cultivation and status.
Without a kinship, it would be less appropriate to address him as Big Brother Lu again.
As Zhao Siyao became more and more outstanding.
I don't know how much hatred that "Big Brother Lu" will bring.
A single slip of the tongue could lead to murder.
"I have enough life span in this life, it is right to operate steadily and make connections, but don't let this little ninny's name calling lead to fire."
It wasn't that Lu Chang'an was afraid of Xia Feilun, but this matter caused him to be alerted.
"Good, fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Siyao was slightly silent, understanding Lu Changan's mind, and gave him a deep look.
This "Fellow Daoist Lu."
In Lu Changan's ears, there was less intimacy than before.
Seeing this, Xia Feilun revealed a reserved smile, satisfied with Lu Chang'an's "upward mobility".
"Brother Lu, if you need cheap pills in the future, you can look for me to buy them and I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Xia Feilun took the initiative to release his goodwill.
Zhao Siyao wanted to stop talking, but after some thought, she didn't stop.
Cheap pills?
Lu Changan laughed coldly in his heart, guessing the other party's intentions.
As an apprentice alchemist, Xia Feilun would from time to time get some substandard and inferior pills, or even waste pills.
It could be a reward that the dan master didn't want, or it could be a failed product from his own practice.
In addition to the poor efficacy of these pills, they contain high levels of poison, which is generally not appreciated by sect cultivators.
However, this kind of pills are cheap.
Selling it to loose cultivators outside the sect, or clans with poor financial resources, there is a certain market.
"Thank you for your kind words, brother Xia, but I'm too shy to buy a spirit elixir."
Lu Changan smiled bitterly. He was telling the truth, he didn't have a single spirit stone in his hand.
"If you don't have a spirit stone, you can borrow it from Second Dog ! You guys have such an iron...... relationship," Xia Feilun laughed, unimpressed.
He had a batch of poor quality pills in his hands, and he was just short of people to take over.
If sold in bulk, facing the insider immortal workshop stores, the profit is relatively low.
Selling directly to cultivators can make a little more profit.
If you get the rich and stupid, then it's a huge profit.
"I don't know what the quality of the pills sold by Brother Xia is, and whether they can be traded with worldly goods."
Lin Yi was heartened to learn that there were cheap pills.
"No worldly gold or silver is accepted! Only spirit stones, or cultivation resources can be exchanged."
Xia Feilun glanced over at Lin Yi, his tone slightly contemptuous.
The wind and water take turns.
Back then, on the way to the examination, Lin Yi had treated him with contempt based on his background and cultivation.
Today, three years later, Lin Yi was no longer in his sights.
Lin Yi snapped and smiled, facing the clan alchemy apprentice Xia Feilun, did not dare to be half offended.
Xia Feilun would become an alchemist in the future, a great man they needed to look up to.
Fortunately, Lu Changan spoke up at the right time and relieved Lin Yi:
"By the way, brother Lin, you're considered a local snake in the area of Hengshui Province. Is it possible to know where there are places where Immortal Cultivators trade?"
Lu Changan had some talismans for sale on hand and was ready to find a place to make a small fortune in spirit stones.
He could also trade in the Mu Clan, but he couldn't expose his identity as a talisman master too quickly.
A year ago, he bought talisman materials from Mu Xiu Yun. From a newcomer to the talismanic path, becoming a full-fledged talisman master requires a gradual process.
"There's a trade fair organized by the scattered cultivators in this area of Hengshui Province, and it happens to be held once this month. If Brother Lu needs it, I can help introduce him."
Lin Yi replied enthusiastically, casting a grateful gaze.
Lu Changan nodded, "Then I'll take care of Brother Lin."
