Chapter 73 Goodbye Qingxuan
The two sat down in the house, and Guan Qiaozhi served tea and water smartly.
"Lu Fushi lives in seclusion in the city, raising turtles and planting grass, life is leisurely."
Mu Maode took off his bamboo hat, glanced at the charming and delicate Guan Qiaozhi, feeling inexplicably depressed and melancholy.
"Senior Mu praised you, Lu is just a casual cultivator with a little clumsy skills, so he can't bear the name of a hermit."
Lu Changan said modestly.
The two drank spirit tea and chatted for a while.
Many years ago, Mu Maode retired to the second line of the family, and the position of Patriarch was handed over to a young and vigorous Qi Refining Ninth Level.
"If Senior Mu has any orders, you can send them a letter, and you don't have to come in person."
Lu Changan guessed that there must be something wrong with Mu Maode's visit this time.
"Master Lu Fu, I have something to ask you from the Mu family."
Mu Maode put away his emotions, his tone was solemn, and his posture was relatively low.
"beg me?"
Lu Changan asked himself, what can he do for the Mu family as a weakling on the ninth level of refining Qi?
"The Mu family needs a favor from you."
Hearing this, Lu Changan guessed Mu Maode's intention.
In the past few years, the Fengye Huang family and the Mu family have gradually been at odds, and the younger generation has suffered casualties.
Overtly and secretly, the Huang family took action to suppress the Mu family's property, planting blame and provoking troubles, and escalating conflicts.
The Mu family tried their best to be patient.
However, the purpose of the Huang family is to annex the Mu family, and it is inevitable.
Sooner or later, the two races will start a war.
In the surrounding area, the only powerful cultivating force that has taken care of the Mu family is the Beastmaster Zhou family.
The Zhou family's beast-controlling genius "Zhou Qingxuan" owes Lu Chang'an a favor.
These years have passed, and Zhou Qingxuan has become a foundation cultivator, occupying a place in the Beast Master Zhou's family.
"Senior Mu, Zhou Qingxuan in her teenage years really owed a certain favor to Lu. But after so many years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a senior who established the foundation, so she may not necessarily admit the child's play in her early years."
"If I were asked to work together to persuade Zhou Qingxuan, it would be unrealistic."
Lu Changan said methodically.
There is nothing wrong with consuming a favor to help the Mu Family of Feiyue Lake.
But he is unwilling to directly intervene in the dispute between the two clans, and is in the whirlpool.
Mumomade smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, I know that a petty favor in the early years can hardly affect the decision-making of the Zhou family's senior management. Now, the conflict between the Zhou family of Yushou and the Zhuo family of Wan Jian has escalated, and there is no spare energy to take care of us."
"The purpose of contacting you this time is not to persuade the Zhou family to take shelter."
His tone was a little slow, explaining the reason:
"We want to buy a Tier 2 spirit beast from the Zhou family privately. We don't have to ask for a Tier 2 spirit beast in the prime of life, and we can accept old and weak Tier 2 spirit beasts with a short lifespan."
After listening, Lu Changan pondered and said: "If it's just a private match, you can try it. But I don't guarantee success, and I won't participate in specific transactions."
"Lu Fushi only needs to contact Zhou Qingxuan privately to facilitate this transaction. Regardless of whether it can be completed or not, this is the intention of the Mu family."
Mumoud squeezed out a smile on his face with age spots, and handed him a bag containing spirit stones.
Looking at the nearly hundred-year-old man.
Lu Changan came from a family in his previous life, so he understands the sadness and hardship involved.
The Xiuxian family is maintained by blood and family.
When you were born in the clan, received cultivation from an early age, cultivated immortals and learned arts, married wives and concubines, your descendants will spread branches and leaves in this land, and pour your whole life on it.
This is a family monk!
and the family are firmly bound together, fetters for life.
"Lu was once a member of Mu's family, and he was just helping to say something. This bag of spirit stones is unnecessary."
Lu Changan repeatedly declined, not asking for the spirit stone.
Mum Maode was very relieved, although Lu Changan left the Mu family, he did not misunderstand the person back then.
At least not a heartless person.
"Huanglong Immortal City recently held a large-scale auction house. Zhou Qingxuan, on behalf of the Beast Master Zhou family, is going to sell a batch of spirit beasts and their cubs."
"She is currently staying at the Zhou family's residence in the inner city. You should contact her in private. If the old man goes there, I'm afraid it will alert the Huang family."
Mu Maud explained the situation.
He has retired to the second line in the Mu family for many years, his lifespan is nearing the end of his life, his body is depleted, and he is not valued by the Huang family.
"Senior Mu, please be careful."
The two discussed some details, Mu Maode put on the bamboo hat, got up and left Shuiyueju.
…
Lu Changan did not act in a hurry.
He bathed and burned incense in the house, and used potions to remove the scent of spiritual pets on his body.
Zhou Qingxuan is very talented in controlling beasts. When she was a young girl, Lu Changan had learned it.
According to common sense, this woman can at most judge what kind of spirit beast has been raised through her sense of smell, and it is difficult to determine the actual cultivation level of the mysterious water turtle.
But I have to guard against it.
The secrets and risks in the world of cultivating immortals are relative terms.
If Lu Changan is a foundation-building cultivator, the growth of the Xuanshui turtle is a bit abnormal, which is not a big problem.
The Beast Master Zhou family has a lot of untold secrets about cultivating spirit beasts, so why are they afraid of being coveted by others?
If it is Yuanying Zhenjun, the secret of Changqing Gong is not worried about being exposed.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan left the Xuanshuigui in another courtyard, and let Guan Qiaozhi take care of it.
He was alone and entered the bustling area of the inner city.
Spiritual awareness probed the surroundings to confirm that no one was following.
Lu Changan disguised himself in the inn, through body training formulas, adjusted his muscles and bones, and turned himself into a young man in brocade clothes
Adjust the breath through Changqing Gong.
Experienced people may be able to see through the disguise, but they cannot see the real appearance.
Half an hour later, Lu Changan came to Zhou's residence.
The monks on the ninth floor of Qi Refining and the guards at the Zhou family's residence cannot be ignored.
"My surname is Lu, and I used to be an old acquaintance with the aristocratic Elder Zhou Qingxuan. Please help spread the news. This is a token."
Lu Changan took out an envelope, matched it with five spirit stones, and handed it to the gatekeeper monk.
In the envelope, there is a top-grade talisman of "Frost's Fall".
Wait for a while.
"But Mr. Lu? My master called you in."
A Zhou family maid came out and brought Lu Changan into the garrison.
The residence of the Zhou family is a large mansion, and it is no problem to accommodate hundreds of people.
Not long after, I came to a quiet courtyard.
The maid invited Lu Changan to enter the house.
This is a quiet room, with sandalwood curling up, accompanied by the fragrance of a woman like a lotus.
A girl in a yellow skirt with a beautiful face is sitting cross-legged on the futon above.
Having not seen her for more than 20 years, Zhou Qingxuan is still youthful, her appearance and temperament are better than before, less playful and cunning, more dignified and bright.
"Junior Lu Changan, I met Senior Zhou."
After Lu Changan entered the room, he bowed and lifted his disguise in advance, otherwise he would appear disrespectful.
"Lu Changan? I remember you, a tortoise talisman master."
Zhou Qingxuan chuckled lightly, showing a narrow expression, breaking the dignified demeanor.
Lu Changan felt strange: This woman's temperament has not changed much, she probably forgot her name, and still relies on "Turtle Talisman" to associate memories.
"Senior Zhou still remembers me, Lu is honored!"
"Tell me, what can I do for you."
Ignoring Lu Changan's compliment, Zhou Qingxuan's tone was flat, without any meaning of reminiscing about the past.
Lu Changan was not surprised at all.
If he was an elder who established the foundation, he would not be interested in chatting with the junior Qi Refining.
"Senior Hui Zhou, Feiyue Lake's family wants to buy a second-order spirit beast from nobles in private, and they can accept old and weak second-order spirit beasts with a short lifespan."
When facing a high-status monk, you must cut straight to the point and be concise.
"A second-order spirit beast?"
Zhou Qingxuan sneered, "Every second-order spirit beast is the foundation of the Zhou family, not to mention that our family is confronting the Wan Jianzhuo family and needs combat strength."
"Lu Changan, do you dare to say this?"
