Chapter 94: Giving Up on Your Own Initiative
Lu Chang'an Puppet Beginner's Introduction Soon.
That night, Mu Renlong and Li Erqing secretly visited the small courtyard by the lake with the spirit stones they had collected.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the spirit stone for purchasing the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Mu Renlong handed over a storage bag.
Lu Chang'an opened it and took a look, inside the pouch there were twenty medium grade spirit stones, plus three thousand lower grade spirit stones.
"This is the Foundation Building Pill, both of you please check."
Lu Changan handed over the white jade porcelain bottle to Mu Renlong.
Mu Renlong confirmed that it was correct and bowed his hand:
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the Fei Yue Lake Mu Family will remember today!"
The transaction was successfully completed.
The Mu Family got the much needed Foundation Establishment Pill, and Lu Chang'an made a low-profile fortune.
Doing this big business alone in the Mu Clan is theoretically risky.
Lu Changan dared to do so, in addition to the understanding of the Mu family trust, more from the strength.
He was confident that the Mu family's two Foundation builders would not be able to compete with him.
Mu Renlong should have a few points of strength, and Li Erqing is considered a weaker Foundation Establishment.
Lu Chang'an is not afraid of the Mu Family, even the Huang Family with four Foundation Stage, self-preservation is not a problem.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, we will discuss the ownership of this Foundation Establishment Pill as soon as possible. At that time, we will inform you of the candidate."
Before leaving, Mu Renlong solemnly said.
......
Two days later.
Li Erqing flew back from Moonheart Island and told Lu Changan about the winner of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Family master, Mu Chengji."
Lu Chang'an was not surprised to learn of the candidate.
Mu Chengji, his qualifications are similar to Mu Xiuyun, but he is ten years younger.
He is Mu Renlong's nephew, and has been in the family for many years, working diligently and honestly.
He used the Foundation Building Pill and had a higher success rate than Mu Xiu Yun.
"Big brother, in fact, Missy, as a second rank talisman master, has made great contributions to the family, her seniority is deeper than Mu Chengji, and she has every chance to compete for this Foundation Establishment Pill."
Li Erqing said with a complicated expression.
"Alas, but Missy took the initiative to give up the chance!"
"She voluntarily gave up?"
Lu Changan sighed lightly and remained silent for a long time. He understood Mu Xiu Yun s choice.
Putting aside the many factors.
Mu Xiu Yun was first and foremost a family cultivator, prioritizing family interests and the greater good.
Secondly, it is personal feelings and aspirations.
For the sake of family interests, if the Maple Leaf Huang family had sincerity back then, she was ready to marry out of the union.
Twenty years ago, she knew that Lu Chang'an was going to leave.
Mu Xiu Yun tried to stay, let the other party into the family, but never mentioned to leave the family with Lu Changan, but more determined to the heart of the Dao.
Compared to the kind of women who run away for their feelings, regardless of the cost, Mu Xiu Yun is more rational and mature.
This was what Lu Changan appreciated about her and didn't have to worry about subsequent entanglements.
......
Three days later.
A small courtyard by the lake welcomes a female visitor.
Lu Changan, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was not allowed to be approached by ordinary cultivators of the Mu Clan even if it was a temporary landing place.
"Senior Lu, my daughter, Mu Bing Yun, has come to visit on behalf of my family's master."
A young girl in a green dress stood in front of the courtyard gate, her voice like a warbler's cry.
The girl's skin was as bright as snow, and she was as elegant as jade; her skirt moved with the wind, like a light cloud coming out of the mountain.
"Please come in."
The door to the courtyard opened and a gentle man's voice came out.
Mu Bing Yun moved lightly with lotus steps and entered the courtyard, seeing some puppet parts scattered about.
In front of the stone table, there sat a gentle and handsome white-robed young man, waving his hand down the teapot, tea cups, signaling her to take a seat.
Mu Bingyun sat down cautiously, her eyes were clear, surveying this elder who was similar to her age on the surface.
"You can call me Uncle Lu."
Lu Chang'an's expression was kind, looking at the girl whose face was familiar and as cold as snow.
Mu Bing Yun is similar to the young lady of that year.
Mu Xiu Yun's temperament is more gentle, and Mu Bing Yun is a bit more lonely.
"Elder Lu, my master asked me to pass on a message: she is grateful for your kindness."
Mu Bing Yun did not change her title, her clear face revealed a polite light smile.
Lu Chang'an didn't care about the young girl's stubbornness, or any preconceptions.
Mu Xiu Yun asked her disciple to reply, stating that she already knew: Lu Chang An had fought for her in the ownership of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"This jade cylinder, my master asked me to pass it on to you."
Mu Bing Yun added, bearing a jade cylinder.
Lu Chang'an took the jade cylinder, and with a sweep of his divine sense, there was a set of Second Stage Rune Master's inheritance inside.
Containing Mu Xiu Yun's lifelong talismanic arts insights, it also summarizes the contents of some other talisman masters' inheritances.
"Bing Yun, help me convey my gratitude to my honored master, this jade cylinder is very useful to me."
Lu Chang'an put away the jade cylinder and told a kind lie.
"Uh-huh."
Mu Bing Yun's veiled hand held the teacup and did not drink a mouthful.
"By the way, when will I visit the honorable master?"
Lu Chang'an said seemingly unintentionally.
"No...... no need! My master said that he doesn't want to see things that hurt his feelings."
Mu Bing Yun panicked, her feet seemed to step on a nail.
Fearing that Lu Chang'an had to go to see her master despite the obstruction.
Lu Chang'an realized in his heart that Mu Xiu Yun did not want to face her young self.
The female disciple, whose face and temperament are comparable to that of her younger self, visits Lu Chang'an as if she were there herself.
"Mu Bing Yun, you are very beautiful! There must be quite a few suitors."
Lu Changan praised.
"I aspire to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and don't trust any men."
Mu Bing Yun's clear face blushed slightly, a little embarrassed by the rumored compliments of the inspirational Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Suddenly.
She realized that Lu Changan's compliment about being pretty was not only referring to herself.
She was representing Master.
To be exact, she was representing the young master.
Looking at the handsome man in front of him, his face has not aged.
Mu Bing Yun produce some kind of resonance, heart inexplicable sadness, the corners of the eyes red.
"Bing Yun, I will be here for the near future. If you don't know anything about cultivation and talisman drawing, you can come over and ask me."
Lu Chang'an explained.
"Yes, Uncle Lu."
Mu Bing Yun changed her address and said softly, owing her body to leave.
......
Lu Chang'an stood in the courtyard with his hands in front of him, watching the back of the slender and elegant girl.
"As you wish, what remains in my memory are all the best sounding faces." Lu Changan was relieved in his heart and dismissed the idea of visiting Mu Xiu Yun.
As a long-lived person, one must have a transcendent mindset.
He is able to face the long years, all kinds of passers-by with an open mind.
Like watching a movie, he is able to immerse himself in it, but he is also able to get out of it.
He is not ashamed of the Mu family, nor is he indebted to Mu Xiu Yun.
In the Mu Family's medicinal garden and in the Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market, he has changed Mu Xiu Yun's fate twice.
Lu Changan has deduced: Mu Xiu Yun has failed to build the foundation once, which will have an impact on the foundation; even if she takes the Foundation Building Pill in her old age, she is likely to fail and will suffer a great deal of damage to her vitality, which will affect the rest of her life.
Therefore, he gave the right to Mu Xiu Yun herself to fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Mu Xiu Yun made a rational choice in line with the family's overall situation, and will shine as a second-ranked talisman master within the family, cultivating a successor to her mantle.
......
The following half month.
Mu Bing Yun came over two or three more times to ask Lu Chang'an for advice on cultivation and rune art.
The little girl was very focused, scrutinizing Lu Changan's every word and action, as if she was a recorder.
Only occasionally did she pay too much attention and stare blankly at him.
During this time, Lu Chang'an asked the Mu Clan's senior management for news about the neighboring Spirit Vein Dojo.
As an Immortal Cultivation Family, the Mu Family was concerned about the Spirit Vein Dojo.
Over the years, the number of new generations of Immortal Cultivators in the Mu Clan has increased dramatically, and Lake Fei Yue's Spirit Veins are barely enough to cover the demand for new Spirit Veins.
Lu Chang'an got the information about the spirit veins collected by the Mu Clan.
"In the Liang cultivation world, spirit veins are a scarce resource. The only forces that have surplus spirit veins to rent and sell are clans and powerful immortal cultivation families."
Lu Chang'an unfolded an opinion map and took a pen to sketch on it.
"Fox Valley, a second-ranked top-grade spirit vein, owned by the 'Leaving Fire Palace'."
Lu Chang'an's pen, drew a small circle at a spirit vein point in the northwest of the center of Liang's Immortal Cultivation Map.
"This spiritual vein dojo is not too far from the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, the Imperial Beast Zhou Family, the Golden Cloud Valley, and the Leaving Fire Palace."
Lu Chang'an was more moved.
The location of the Fox Valley was to his liking.
A separate Spirit Vein Dojo would definitely have more privacy than in Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Security and convenience were also important.
Fox Valley, the spirit vein dojo of the YuanYing level power Leaving Fire Palace, is close to the hinterland of Liang, and its security is better than that of the spirit vein dojos in the border area of Liang.
It is not far from the Yellow Dragon Immortal City, the Royal Beast Zhou Clan, and the Golden Cloud Valley, making it easy for Lu Chang'an to obtain Immortal Cultivation resources and maintain his existing connections and cooperation.
"However, this spirit vein in Fox Valley is expensive to rent or sell, and it has to be rented from twenty years."
Lu Chang'an shook his head, he couldn't afford it with his current worth.
The second grade spirit vein is also a waste of money for the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"There is no rush, there are still many options."
To have a spiritual vein dojo of one's own, to plant spiritual plants and fruits, to raise spiritual beasts, to make pills and draw talismans, this is a dream that many Immortal Cultivators can hardly hope for.
......
The next half a month.
Lu Chang'an sensed a strange movement in the aura of heaven and earth.
In the skies above Moonheart Island, the aura of the heavens and earth slowly converged and was about to form a small aura vortex.
"The time is almost right."
Lu Changan knew that the Mu Family's contemporary family head was impacting the Foundation Establishment Stage and would attract attention.
Returning to the room.
He took out a talisman and injected a drop of blood and mana breath into it.
The talisman was activated, and a man in white sitting cross-legged appeared in the room.
The man in white was just a phantom, and his aura was exactly the same as Lu Chang'an's.
"Illusion of Truth Talisman, second-order illusion type talisman."
Lu Chang'an had informed Li Ergou in advance that he would be in seclusion for a few days and didn't want to be disturbed.
That night, Lu Changan sneaked out of the Mu Clan's compound without realizing it.
