Chapter 38 Temptation
Lu Changan nodded to shopkeeper Xu, and left with the servant.
Although Zhuyeshanfang City was established by the Huang family, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and there is no lack of backgrounds of immortal cultivating families and even sect monks.
Even Young Master Huang didn't dare to act recklessly.
Besides, Lu Changan has Zhou Qingxuan's favor, who is the person that Young Master Huang wants to curry favor with.
…
"Master Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In the private room of the restaurant, Young Master Huang, who was dressed in a purple jade robe and had an extraordinary appearance, looked at Lu Changan with a pair of red phoenix eyes and a smile.
A year ago, Huang Yu met Lu Changan once. At that time, he was an ordinary talisman master and didn't care.
It wasn't until Lu Changan refined the "Frostfall" talisman and received a favor from Zhou Qingxuan that he officially entered Young Master Huang's vision.
"Young Master Huang invites me, I don't know..."
"No hurry, no hurry! Try the 100-year-old Green Bamboo Spirit Wine first."
Young Master Huang behaved politely, took out a black jade wine jar, and personally drank for Lu Changan.
Young master Huang raised the wine glass and drank first as a respect.
Lu Changan didn't have time to think, and drank a cup.
I only feel the taste is clear, and a trace of pure wood spirit is fermented in the stomach, nourishing the internal organs.
"Good wine." Lu Changan praised.
"Brother Lu is refreshing."
Master Huang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he talked eloquently:
"This hundred-year-old green bamboo spirit wine is a specialty of Zhuye Mountain. It needs to brew the bamboo shoots of the first-grade top-grade spirit bamboo, which ordinary people can't buy."
Lu Changan's straightforwardness and ease made Young Master Huang secretly appreciate it.
In the subsequent topic, Young Master Huang asked about Lu Changan's situation in Mu's house and Fangshi, and mostly praised him.
If it weren't for the situation a year ago, Lu Changan almost thought that this was a virtuous corporal and an approachable young master.
Drink three minutes.
Young Master Huang's fair face was slightly red, and he pushed a jade box in front of Lu Changan.
"Be careful, please accept it, brother Lu."
"Young Master Huang, you are..."
Lu Changan opened the jade box and took a look, he couldn't help but be moved.
In the jade box, there are four crystal clear spirit stones, like rare gems.
This is a mid-grade spirit stone.
One piece can be exchanged for at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and there is often a floating rate of more than 10%.
It is equivalent to more than 400 Lingshi.
For the later stage of gas refining, it is a huge sum.
In addition to middle-grade spirit stones, there is also a small porcelain bottle inside the jade box, with three words on the label: Bi Ning Dan
"A broken-level pill in the late stage of Qi refining!"
Lu Changan was secretly surprised that Young Master Huang has such a big hand!
The intention of the other party is clear at a glance.
At such a price, it is more than enough to dig a high-grade talisman master.
"I believe Brother Lu understands the principle of 'a good bird chooses a tree to live in'. Even if you are as good as you, will the Mu family give you a broken-rank pill in the future?"
Young Master Huang calmed down and smiled leisurely.
If Lu Changan was an ordinary monk, he would definitely not be able to resist such temptations.
Young Master Huang is right.
Lu Changan is a person with a foreign surname, and it is almost impossible to obtain a broken-level elixir in the late stage of Qi refining in the Mu family.
In the Mu family alone, I don’t know how many monks lined up.
A few years ago, because of the meritorious service in the medicine garden, the young miss of the Mu family got the broken-rank elixir and was promoted to the late stage of Qi training.
Lu Changan is currently at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and after the sixth level of Qi Refining, he will also face a bottleneck in the later stage.
It's just that Young Master Huang couldn't think of it at all.
Lu Chang'an III rebuilt, Changqing Gong step by step, the foundation is extremely solid, breaking through the late stage of Qi training, no need for broken-level pills.
What limited his cultivation speed was the years.
"Young master Huang is disappointed. Lu has practiced in Mu's family for more than ten years, and he can't do anything to betray the family."
Lu Changan took a deep breath, and moved his gaze away from the jade box with difficulty.
Young Master Huang's face froze with a smile.
Never expected that such a price would fail to lure Lu Changan.
He scouted Lu Changan mainly for two points:
First, Lu Changan has a good talent in Fu Yi, a personal talent. Good at some relatively unpopular and difficult talismans, which enhanced the competitiveness of Mu's talisman shop.
If Lu Changan's Fu Yi goes one step further and joins forces with Mu Xiuyun, it will significantly improve the Mu family.
It is reflected in the growth of financial resources and the reserve of high-quality talismans.
Once Lu Changan is poached, it will be a blow to the Mu family.
Secondly, Lu Changan has the favor of the genius granddaughter of the Zhou family. If he can make good use of it, it will help the Huang family's strategy.
"Haha! I see!"
Young master Huang's thoughts flew, and he suddenly realized.
"Don't you just like Mu Xiuyun? That's why you're willing to follow her?"
"Don't worry! When this young master gets her, I will reward you as a concubine in the future. At that time, your fairy road will be magnanimous, and you will embrace the beauty. How beautiful is it?"
At the end, Young Master Huang clapped his hands and smiled.
With the ambiguity of a man, he thought he could see through Lu Changan's mind.
After all, when he first met that gentle and beautiful young lady in Fangshi, he was amazed, and even slightly regretted that he didn't marry back then.
"Young Master Huang, don't make such a joke casually."
After two lifetimes of cultivation and reincarnation, Lu Changan's original intention has not changed.
Although I dare not say that I have not killed innocent people in the previous two lives, I have never failed anyone.
He has lived in Mu's family for more than ten years. He may run away in times of crisis, but he has not yet committed any betrayal.
Of course, having a bottom line does not mean he is kind.
Lu Changan holds grudges very much, basically he must avenge any grudge.
Once the strength is enough, the shots are straightforward and merciless.
"This kid..."
Young master Huang's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that Lu Changan would not enter.
Beforehand, he had investigated Lu Chang'an, and he was alone, usually at the gate of Fangshi.
Such a person is not so easy to handle.
…
Leave the wine shop.
Lu Changan returned to Mu's Spirit Talisman Shop.
Go to the third floor as soon as possible and tell Mu Xiuyun about the matter, but didn't mention the specific details.
Lu Changan did this in order to prevent Huang Shaozhu from carrying out estrangement afterwards.
Even if he doesn't say what happened today, Mu Xiuyun will know sooner or later.
Even, Young Master Huang may deliberately publicize it to the outside world, so that there will be a rift between Lu Changan and the Mu family.
"Chang'an, thank you!"
Mu Xiuyun smiled, bright and radiant, her starry eyes flowing with a charming look.
The voice is soft and graceful, tender and heart-warming.
"In order to scoop you up, Young Master Huang must have paid a very high price. The Mu family was very lucky to be able to call you into the clan back then."
The fragrance of osmanthus like orchids rushes in, making people feel refreshed.
Mu Xiuyun walked up to him, with gentle eyes, stretched out a plain hand, and caressed the back of his hand.
Lu Changan felt the beauty's creamy skin, and that plain hand was as cool as jade.
Wearing a long green gauze dress, the graceful and elegant eldest lady, her starry eyes are drooping at this moment, her face is as clear as a cloud, and she is so beautiful.
Rao is his cultivation of health and character, and there is a slight ripple in his peaceful heart lake.
"It should be so. Without the cultivation of the Mu family, I would not be where I am today."
Lu Changan remained calm and let go of his hand.
Holding hands, exit the room.
Mu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, her face was clear and red like fire, she bit her thin lips lightly, wanting to speak.
Looking at Lu Changan's back, her eyes were dim, and she immediately fell into thought again.
…
"Huh!"
"The place in Fangshi is really different from the clan. In just half a day, I have faced such a big temptation."
Back to the room on the second floor, Lu Changan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
First, it was Young Master Huang's profiteering.
Then there is the eldest lady's beauty Ruyu.
Just now, if Lu Changan followed the trend, he would have fallen in love with Mu Xiuyun.
Of course, there is a big difference between Mu Xiuyun's beauty buying and Huang Shaozhu's.
Since the Battle of the Medicine Garden that year, he has been vaguely aware of the trust and affection that the eldest lady has for him.
After arriving in Fangshi, Mu Xiuyun asked Lu Changan to practice high-grade talismans at any cost.
If Lu Changan can get married, it will be the best of both worlds for Mu Xiuyun.
Joining Mu family is indeed a development idea.
But in this life, Lu Changan didn't want to have so many worries.
With a long lifespan and stable operation, the chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage is not small.
…
No desires, no desires, and a light body.
Lu Changan's life in Fangshi was carefree.
Half a month later.
Lu Changan and shopkeeper Xu sat in the teahouse and chatted.
"Brother Lu, with your age and my aptitude, if you don't give it a try in this life, I'm afraid there will be no hope of building a foundation for the rest of your life."
Shopkeeper Xu, whose hair was full of hair, expressed emotion.
"Oh, what's your opinion of shopkeeper Xu?"
Lu Changan smiled slightly and made a gesture of listening.
As the principal of Nishang Pavilion, shopkeeper Xu is the core figure of a Qi refining family.
A hundred years ago, their family also had a foundation-building period, but it declined later.
This family has a legacy of foundation building, and its strength should not be underestimated in the late stage of digital gas refining.
"Brother Lu, let me tell you a secret."
Shopkeeper Xu lowered his voice, and the voice transmission communicated.
"Under the ruins a hundred miles away from Zhuye Mountain, I found a hidden treasure house suspected to be left by the Zheng family."
"The hidden treasure house of the Zheng family?"
Lu Changan was dubious.
However, this surrounding area was once the domain of the Zheng family. The family was plundered by evil cultivators, and was almost exterminated by the Mu family later. It is not uncommon to have a hidden treasure house.
Lu Changan's eyes flickered slightly: "Why did Shopkeeper Xu tell me such a secret?"
"To be honest, the hidden treasure house has a strong restriction, it is difficult to break through in a short time, and it is easy to leak the wind. If I seek help from other powerful monks, I may not be able to guarantee my own interests."
"Brother Lu's cultivation level is not high, his character is reliable, and he has talisman to help break the restriction. He is Xu's most ideal partner."
