Chapter 29 Revisiting Jinyun
"Brother Lu, you are finally here!"
Li Ergou, who was dressed in a big red robe, came out to welcome him, and opened his arms, wanting to give him a warm hug.
Lu Changan looked disgusted and patted him on the shoulder.
Compared with a few years ago, Li Ergou's face is more rounded, his belly is slightly bulging, and his skin is not as dark as before.
Clearly under thirty, at first glance, he looks like a rich grandpa.
"Changqing, this is my gift."
Lu Changan took out two talismans, both of which were high-quality wind speed talismans, which were begged by Li Ergou a few years ago.
Nowadays, the monks of the Mu family all refer to Li Ergou as "Changqing" or "Li Changqing".
"Haha! Brother, why don't you come over and eat and drink as you like, what gifts do you want?"
Li Ergou's eyes lit up, he quickly took the talisman, and welcomed Lu Changan to the main table in the house.
Xianfan is different, Li Ergou's relatives are not here, he regards Lu Changan as his elder brother.
Although Li Ergou was the first to be promoted to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he still respects Lu Changan and is as close as he was ten years ago.
"You, the bridegroom officer, go to work first."
Lu Changan waved his hands.
For more than ten years, Li Ergou has fully integrated into the Mu family and gave birth to descendants of the Mu family.
Also fought desperately for the Mu family and broke his leg.
In the eyes of the Mu family, he is a trustworthy son-in-law, and he can be regarded as his own family.
There are quite a few people who come and go with the ceremony, except for the relatives of the woman, some of them are clansmen whom Li Ergou is acquainted with.
"Does Mu Yinglan know? A golden flower of our Mu family back then, the Hui family visited relatives a few days ago. It was really grand, and the monks in the late stage of Qi refining personally escorted it."
"Tsk tsk, Mu Yinglan married into the 'Zhou Beast's family' and leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade. This step is the right one."
The conversation between adjacent banquets caught Lu Changan's attention.
Mu Yinglan is the daughter of the Linggen tribe that the Mu family wanted to match up with Lu Changan back then. In the end, it was not successful, and it made the girl feel bad.
Lu Changan had heard about Mu Yinglan's marriage.
Three years ago, after the dispute between the two clans.
The relationship between the Feiyue Lake Mu family and the Yushou Zhou family gradually narrowed, taking the place of the former Zheng family.
Facing the rising Huang family, the Zhou family was vigilant.
Maple Leaf Huang's family built a family of three foundations, united as one, if it develops, it may threaten the Zhou family's status in the future.
On the other hand, the Mu family is the weakest, bordering on the current territory of the Huang family.
The Beastmaster Zhou family didn't want the Huang family to annex the Mu family and grow further, so they came up with the idea of supporting the Mu family.
This is the background of Mu Yinglan's marriage to the Zhou family.
Actually, the eldest lady, Mu Xiuyun, is an ideal marriage partner.
However, after the ghost incident in the medicine garden and promotion to the seventh level of Qi refining, Mu Xiuyun declared to the outside world that she would not marry.
Mu Xiuyun has a good cultivation level and is a first-tier senior talisman teacher. The top management of the Mu family don't want to lose outstanding talents and support her decision.
Don't marry outside, and you can still recruit a son-in-law in the future.
I heard that Mu Yinglan took the initiative to replace Mu Xiuyun and marry the second son of the Zhou family as his wife.
And she is the main wife.
To Mu Yinglan, this is a high climb!
"This girl is quite vengeful."
Lu Changan couldn't help but smile when he thought of something.
A few days ago, when Mu Yinglan went home to visit her relatives, she made a deliberate walk around Lu Changan's courtyard.
Don't say it, she does have the demeanor of a rich and noble lady.
Lu Changan understands Mu Yinglan's strength and clinging, and he is happy to see Mu Yinglan's life better.
…
That night, Li Ergou married sisters Mu Caiwei and Mu Cailin to his home.
Happy, hugging left and right.
This scene made the original fairy seedlings sour, and even some young people in the Mu family were envious.
Li Ergou is able to have what he is today, all thanks to having a baby.
Be the first to marry a wife and have children, and get huge extra rewards.
The first to give birth to a spiritual root heir, and get the mid-stage Qi-refining elixir.
Later, they had several sons and daughters.
Fertility is obviously stronger than that of immortal cultivators of the same level.
He also sacrificed his life for the Mu family.
For this kind of son-in-law who is fully integrated into the family and is so fertile, the Mu family is naturally willing to cultivate him and add more "burdens" to him.
If you were an ordinary man, you would have already fallen into the red dust of beauty.
However, Li Ergou was able to pull it out, and he has never slackened in his cultivation.
Lu Changan was rather surprised by this point.
Actually, Li Ergou's ability to do this was also influenced by Lu Changan, an ascetic monk in the adjacent courtyard.
Even changing the name, Li Ergou borrowed from Lu Changan.
…
After taking a concubine for three days.
Li Ergou took the initiative to find Lu Changan and took out a letter.
"Zhao Siyao asked us to go to Jinyun Valley to get together within half a year."
"Well, I also received the letter."
Lu Changan nodded.
Because time was short, Li Ergou took a concubine a few days ago and did not mention this matter.
"Brother Lu, what do you think, do you want to help Zhao Siyao?"
Li Ergou followed his advice.
In the past year, Zhao Siyao implicitly showed them the difficulty of competing for core disciples.
It goes without saying that he asked them to go to Jinyun Valley this time.
Lu Changan said: "You can help, but you have to do what you can."
"How much does Big Brother plan to help?"
Lu Changan stretched out a finger.
"Well, I can only give out fifty spirit stones at most. My family, Er Shun, now needs to spend spirit stones to get started..."
Li Ergou said in a dilemma.
"A lot." Lu Changan smiled.
Li Ergou has a family after all, so the expenses are bigger.
"Brother is still cool! Fu Shi can make money, and he doesn't have so many burdens."
After the two discuss, make a decision.
The next day, he left Mu's residence on a spirit horse.
"Twelve years."
Looking back at the magnificent Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan almost felt nostalgic for this place.
The last time I went out was nine years ago.
Having not left Feiyue Lake in the past ten years is extremely rare for a pure Mu family member.
Hold in the family for so long.
Lu Changan will inevitably have needs when he goes out this time.
First, the booty in his storage bag is very rich, and he needs to find a place to sell the stolen goods.
Mainly the gains from killing Ge Danshi.
Just the precious medicinal materials sealed in those jade boxes are worth more than a thousand spirit stones.
Secondly, the "Cloud Sand Body Refining Jue" that he has practiced in the past two years needs to be combined with the first-level spiritual sandstone to absorb the essence of the ore and sharpen the body from the outside to the inside.
There are not many first-grade sandstones that can be bought in the family, and the quality is also average.
When Lu Changan went out to sell stolen goods, he wanted to buy a batch of high-quality spiritual sand in large quantities, and he had better keep it for more than ten years.
Body training is a practice method that consumes both time and money.
Most monks don't have the financial resources at all; or they have the financial resources but don't have the energy to practice concurrently.
Although the body training technique can greatly strengthen the body, most immortal cultivators rely on long-distance methods, and magic weapons and supernatural powers are king.
In addition to the strong survivability and melee combat, the body training technique has no outstanding advantages.
Therefore, few monks practice physical skills.
However, Lu Changan has a long lifespan, and has a lot of free time every day. Currently, he has sufficient financial resources and has the conditions to practice physical skills as well.
…
One month later.
The two arrived at Hengshui Mansion on a spirited horse.
Go to the Prince's Mansion first, and meet Lam Yi.
Yi Lam also received an invitation from Zhao Siyao.
"Haha! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come, try my Yunfeng tribute tea."
Edward Lam smiled brightly and poured tea himself.
Yi Lam was dressed in a loose robe, with beards on the corners of his lips, with a calm demeanor without losing his sense of affinity.
Lu Chang'an almost forgot about that handsome and arrogant young master back then.
In the past two years, Lu Changan and Lin Yi had dealt with each other.
Lin Yi founded "Yinxian Pavilion", went to the residence of Mu's family, and bought a batch of talismans from Lu Chang'an.
Now, Yinxian Pavilion is basically on the right track.
Lin Yi was promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and recruited several casual practitioners and a group of secular martial arts masters.
The next day.
The three of them went to Jinyun Valley on a spirit horse.
During the Qi refining period, it is labor-saving and convenient to use this half-spirit beast spirit horse to travel.
On a long journey, it is better than flying with an imperial weapon.
…
One month later.
Lu Changan and the others came to Jinyun Valley.
Golden Cloud Valley is located in the center of the majestic mountains. Under the blazing sun, those mountains rich in metal minerals reflect a faint golden glow to the clouds, outlining the solemn treasure land of "mountains and clouds with a line of gold".
The three came to the foot of the mountain gate.
Looking up at the lofty Cultivation Sect.
Lin Yi and Li Ergou had mixed emotions, awe, longing, and unwillingness.
Here was their failure.
Lu Changan was as calm as water, neither humble nor overbearing, and came to the mountain gate.
Take out the token and let the guard disciples report.
About half an hour.
Zhao Siyao, who was wearing a long moon white dress, flew over on a cloud handkerchief, and landed in front of several people.
Wearing a phoenix hairpin on her head, her fairy skirt is fluttering, her beauty is beautiful, and she has a cool and fairy-like temperament.
Lu Changan and the others were stunned for a moment.
Having not seen her in nine years, Zhao Siyao is breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, without any fireworks.
"Three fellow Taoists, please stay safe."
Zhao Siyao's beautiful eyes, as clear as a spring, swept across the three of Lu Chang'an, revealing a hint of surprise.
Li Ergou and Lam Yi have changed a lot.
Lu Changan's appearance has hardly changed, he is still the eighteen-year-old boy.
Junyi is out of the dust, as indifferent as water.
"Zhao Daoyou, are all the female disciples in the sect as beautiful as you?"
Li Ergou came over in a daze and grinned. She is no longer as shy as she was back then, and she would blush even if Zhao Siyao, who was once a little girl, looked at her.
"If Li Daoyou is interested, I will introduce you to two of them in the future."
Zhao Siyao smiled lightly, as crisp as a bell.
The four walked and chatted.
It seems to return to the immature boy back then, entering Jinyun Valley from here, and participating in the fairy gate assessment.
Zhao Siyao led the way, entered Zhike Peak in Jinyun Valley, and took a seat in a pavilion.
"Three, please sit down."
Zhao Siyao sat calmly at the head, rolled up the sleeves of her skirt lightly, revealing her jade-like catkins, and used her magic power to ingest teacups and spiritual fruit dishes, and they dropped them on the small tables of several people.
