Chapter 29: Return to the Golden Cloud
"Brother Lu, you're finally here!"
Li Ergou, who was dressed in a big red robe, greeted him and opened his arms, wanting to give a warm hug.
Lu Changan was slightly disgusted and patted him on the shoulder.
Compared with a few years ago, Li Ergou's face is more and more round, his belly is slightly bulging, and his skin is not as dark as before.
is obviously less than thirty, but at first glance, he looks like a rich grandfather.
"Changqing, this is my congratulatory gift."
Lu Changan took out two talismans, both of which were high-quality wind speed talismans, which Li Ergou had begged for a few years ago.
Nowadays, the monks of the Mu family call Li Ergou "Changqing" or "Li Changqing".
"Haha! Big brother, come over and eat and drink casually, what kind of gifts do you give? ”
Li Ergou's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the talisman and welcomed Lu Changan to the main table in the room.
Xianfan is different, Li Ergou's relatives did not come, he regarded Lu Changan as his brother.
Although Li Ergou was the first to be promoted to the fifth level of qi refining, his respect for Lu Changan was still the same, and he was as close as he was ten years ago.
"You, the bridegroom, go ahead and get busy."
Lu Changan waved his hand.
For more than ten years, Li Ergou has fully integrated into the Mu family and gave birth to Linggen descendants for the Mu family.
also worked hard for the Mu family to go to the battlefield and broke his leg.
In the eyes of the Mu family, he is a trustworthy and virtuous son-in-law, and he can be regarded as his own family.
There are a lot of people who come and go, in addition to the woman's relatives, some are clansmen who are familiar with Li Ergou.
"Does Mu Yinglan know? Back then, a golden flower of our Mu family, a few days ago the Hui clan visited relatives, that pomp was really big, and the monks in the late stage of qi refining personally escorted it. ”
"Tsk, Mu Yinglan married into the 'Royal Beast Zhou Family', with her back to the big tree to enjoy the shade, this step is the right one."
The conversation between the adjacent seats attracted Lu Changan's attention.
Mu Yinglan is the daughter of the Linggen clan that the Mu family wanted to match with Lu Chang'an. The result was unsuccessful, and it made the woman feel guilty.
Mu Yinglan's marriage, Lu Changan heard about it.
Three years ago, after the conflict between the two races.
The relationship between the Feiyue Lake Mu family and the Imperial Beast Zhou family gradually became closer, replacing the previous position of the Zheng family.
In the face of the rising Huang family, the Zhou family was vigilant.
The Maple Leaf Huang family has built a foundation of three doors and is united, if it develops, it may threaten the status of the Zhou family in the future.
On the other hand, the Mu family is the weakest and borders on the Huang family's current territory.
The Zhou family of the Royal Beast did not want the Huang family to annex the Mu family, so they would further grow and have the idea of supporting the Mu family.
This is the background of Mu Yinglan's marriage to the Zhou family.
In fact, the eldest lady Mu Xiuyun is an ideal marriage partner.
However, after Mu Xiuyun was promoted to the seventh layer of qi refining since the ghost incident in the medicine garden, she declared to the outside world that she would not marry.
Mu Xiuyun's cultivation is not bad, and she is a first-order senior talisman master, and the top management of the Mu family does not want to lose excellent talents, so they support her decision.
If you don't marry outside, 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 one of the Zhou family.
And it's a wife.
For Mu Yinglan, it can be regarded as a high climb!
"This girl is quite vindictive."
Lu Changan couldn't help but think of something.
A few days ago, Mu Yinglan went home to visit relatives and deliberately went back and forth from the vicinity of Lu Changan's yard.
Not to mention, she does have the demeanor of a noble lady of a big family.
Lu Changan understands Mu Yinglan's strength and clinging, and the other party is doing better, and he is happy to see it.
……
That night, Li Ergou married the sisters Mu Caiwei and Mu Cailin to their home.
Elated, hugging left and right.
This scene made the original few immortal seedlings sour, and even some young people of the Mu family were very envious.
Li Ergou can have today, all by giving birth to a baby.
The first one to marry a wife and have children will get a generous extra reward.
The first one gave birth to a spiritual root heir and obtained the rank-breaking elixir in the middle stage of qi refining.
Later, several more children were born.
The fertility is obviously stronger than that of immortal cultivators of the same level.
and sold his life for the Mu family.
For this kind of virtuous son-in-law who is completely integrated into the family and is so capable, the Mu family is naturally willing to cultivate and add a "burden" to him.
If you were an ordinary man, you would have fallen into the red dust of beauty a long time ago.
However, Li Ergou was able to take it out, and he never slackened in his cultivation.
For this, Lu Changan was more surprised.
In fact, Li Ergou was able to do this because of the influence of Lu Chang'an, an ascetic monk in the adjacent courtyard.
Even when he changed his name, Li Ergou borrowed from Lu Chang'an.
……
Three days after taking a concubine.
Li Ergou took the initiative to find Lu Changan and took out a letter.
"Zhao Siyao, let's go to Jinyun Valley for a gathering in half a year."
"Well, I got the letter too."
Lu Changan nodded.
Because time is not tight, 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 listened to his advice.
In the past year, Zhao Siyao implicitly showed them the difficulty of competing for core disciples.
This time, I asked them to go to Jinyun Valley, which goes without saying.
Lu Changan said: "You can help, but you have to do what you can." ”
"How much does Big Brother plan to help?"
"One hundred spirit stones."
Lu Changan stretched out a finger.
"Alas, I can only produce a maximum of fifty spirit stones. My family's Ershun, now that I am getting started with cultivation, I need to spend spirit stones......"
Li Ergou was embarrassed.
"Not a lot." Lu Changan smiled.
After all, Li Ergou has a family, and the expenses are larger.
"It's still big brother chic! Talisman can make money, and there is not so much baggage. ”
After the two discussed, a decision was made.
The next day, he rode the spirit horse and left the Mu family station.
"Twelve years."
Lu Changan looked back at the magnificent Feiyue Lake, and almost felt a trace of nostalgia for this place.
The last time I went out, it was nine years ago.
He has not left Feiyue Lake for nearly ten years, which is extremely rare for pure Mu family members.
It's been in the clan for so long.
Lu Changan will inevitably have a demand when he goes out this time.
First, the loot in his storage bag was so rich that he needed to find a place to sell the stolen goods.
The main thing is the harvest of killing the Ge Dan Division.
The precious medicinal materials sealed in those jade boxes alone were worth more than a thousand spirit stones.
Second, the "Cloud Sand Refining Body Technique" that he has cultivated in the past two years needs to be combined with a first-order spiritual sand stone to absorb the essence of the ore and sharpen his body from the outside to the inside.
There are not many first-order sand and gravel that can be bought in the family, and the quality is average.
While Lu Changan went out to sell stolen goods, he wanted to buy a large batch of high-quality spiritual sand, and it was best to store it for more than ten years.
Alchemy is a time-consuming and financially expensive method of cultivation.
Most of the monks don't have the financial resources at all; Or have the financial resources and don't have the energy to do both.
Although alchemy can greatly strengthen the body, most immortal cultivators rely on long-range means, and magic weapons and supernatural powers are the king.
In addition to survivability and hand-to-hand combat, alchemy is not prominent.
Therefore, it is rare for monks to practice physical arts.
However, Lu Chang'an has a very long lifespan, and he has a lot of free time every day, and he currently has sufficient financial resources and has the conditions to cultivate physical arts.
……
A month later.
The two rode the spirit horse to Hengshui Mansion.
Go to the prince's mansion first and meet Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also received an invitation from Zhao Siyao.
"Haha! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come, taste my Yunfeng tribute tea. ”
Lin Yi smiled heartily and poured tea himself.
Lin Yi was dressed in a loose robe, with a beard at the corners of his lips, a calm temperament, and a sense of affinity.
Lu Changan almost forgot the arrogant little marquis in brocade clothes back then.
In the past two years, Lu Changan and Lin Yi have dealt with each other.
Lin Yi created the "Hidden Immortal Pavilion", went to the Mu family's station, and purchased a batch of talismans in the hands of Lu Changan.
Today, the Hidden Immortal Pavilion is basically on the right track.
Lin Yi was promoted to the fourth level of qi refining, and recruited several casual cultivators and a group of secular martial arts masters.
Following.
The three of them rode the spirit horse to the Golden Cloud Valley.
During the Qi refining period, it is labor-saving and convenient to use the spirit horse of this half-spirit beast to travel.
On long-distance travel, it is better than flying with a royal weapon.
……
A month later.
Lu Changan and the three came to Jinyun Valley.
Jinyun Valley is located in the center of the majestic mountains, under the scorching sun, those mountains rich in metal minerals, reflecting the faint golden glow onto the clouds, outlining the solemn immortal treasure land of "mountains and clouds with a line of gold".
The three of them came to the foot of the mountain gate.
Look up at the high Immortal Cultivation Sect.
Lin Yi and Li Ergou have complex emotions, awe, yearning, and unwillingness.
This is where they failed.
Lu Changan was as calm as water, neither humble nor arrogant, and came to the mountain gate.
Take out the token and let the disciple report it.
About half an hour.
Zhao Siyao, who was wearing a moon-white dress, stepped on a cloud and flew over, and the money fell in front of several people.
Wearing a phoenix hairpin, the fairy skirt is fluttering, the posture is beautiful, and there is a cold and fairy-like temperament.
Lu Changan and the others were stunned for a moment.
I haven't seen her for nine years, Zhao Siyao is so beautiful that she is suffocating, like a fairy in a painting, and she doesn't see the breath of fireworks.
"Three Taoist friends, don't come unharmed."
Zhao Siyao's beautiful eyes, clear as a spring, swept over Lu Changan and the others, revealing a trace of surprise.
Li Ergou and Lin Yi have changed a lot.
And Lu Changan's appearance has hardly changed, and he is still the eighteen-year-old boy.
Junyi out of the dust, indifferent as water.
"Zhao Daoyou, are the female disciples in the sect as beautiful as you?"
Li Ergou came over in a trance and grinned. is no longer as shy as she was back then, and Zhao Siyao, who was once a little girl, would blush at a glance.
"If Li Daoyou is interested, I will introduce you to two in the future."
Zhao Siyao smiled lightly, as crisp as a bell.
The four of them chatted as they walked.
It seems to have returned to the immature boy of the year, entering the Golden Cloud Valley from here and participating in the Xianmen assessment.
Zhao Siyao led the way in front, entered the Zhike Peak of Jinyun Valley, and sat down in a pavilion.
"Sit down, three of you."
Zhao Siyao sat calmly on the top, gently rolled up her skirt sleeves, revealing a jade-like softness, and used her mana to ingest the tea cup and spirit fruit saucer, which fell on the small table of several people one after another.
