Lu Changan placed his palm on the surface of the eggshell, faintly feeling the heartbeat and subtle movements inside.

He confirmed that the turtle had entered the hatching stage.

For a period of time after that, he injected some evergreen mana into the turtle egg every day to provide energy nourishment.

Whenever he injected evergreen mana, the life inside the eggshell would send a kind and dependent spiritual fluctuation.

Lu Changan believes that the young turtles bred in the future, even if they do not sign a spirit pet contract, they will recognize him as their master.

Two months later.

With a "click", the eggshell cracked.

A miniature turtle smaller than the palm of a baby's hand, trying to break its shell. Gather enough strength to feed, first the head, then the body and limbs, and finally drill out of the eggshell.

After coming out of the shell, the stupid and cute little eyes of the Xuanshui baby turtle looked around nervously, and quickly locked on to Lu Changan.

Feeling the familiar breath, the young turtle crawled affectionately and rubbed Lu Chang'an's wrist.

Lu Changan spread out his palm, and the Xuanshui baby turtle climbed up, occupying only one-third of the area of his palm, and kept rubbing the breath on his palm, almost overturning, it was cute.

After the hatch of the hatchling.

The ground rat in Lu Chang'an's pet bag was restless.

Creak!

The huge ground rock rat was released, staring at the Xuanshui hatchling turtle in Lu Changan's palm, a cold light flashed in the rat's eyes, and he grinned.

The Xuanshui baby turtle was surprised and ran into Lu Chang'an's clothes.

Boom!

Lu Changan gave the ground rock rat a kick, and the latter squeaked in pain, and his killing intent disappeared, revealing an aggrieved appearance.

"In the future, it will also be your master, if you dare to think crookedly, send you to the Colosseum......"

Lu Changan warned and put the ground rock rat into the storage bag.

Not to mention the gap between the mid-grade bloodline and the earth-grade bloodline.

The Xuanshui Turtle was raised and hatched by him himself, and he poured his heart and soul into it.

Ground rats, just halfway captured trophies.

Naturally, there is no comparison between the two.

Lu Changan fed the young turtle some spiritual fluid, and checked his physical condition by the way.

In the jade tube that Zhou Qingxuan gave at the beginning, there was an illustrated book of Xuanshui turtles, including juvenile turtles.

Lu Changan compared it, and the appearance was basically the same.

It's just that there are subtle differences in the texture of the turtle shell.

Lu Changan's young turtle, the texture of the turtle shell is slightly veined with leaves, which is difficult to detect if you are not careful.

The hatchling turtle is very small, and Lu Changan puts it in the spirit pet bag every day to build a moist small environment inside.

This turtle is relatively sticky, and Lu Changan will take it out every day to interact with it and deliver a little evergreen mana.

The main water attribute of the Xuanshui turtle is also some wood attributes.

This one raised by Lu Chang'an, just a few days after birth, can spit out pale green water bubbles, accompanied by faint mana fluctuations.

……

Takeba Yamabo City.

Lu Changan's life is still the same, and there is not much change.

Although there is an extra pet, the Xuanshui turtle is actually quite easy to raise.

No fuss, no toss.

It doesn't consume much resources, it's far inferior to some earth-grade spirit beasts, and the only drawback is that it grows slowly.

In the blink of an eye, a year or two passed.

It's been five years since the auction.

Lu Changan is at least forty-three years old.

The cultivation is close to the peak of the sixth layer of qi refining, and there is still a year or two left to be promoted to the seventh layer of qi refining.

He looked to be about twenty years old, and he was in his prime.

At this time, the Xuanshui Hatchling Turtle grew to the size of an adult's palm, and the mana fluctuations emitted reached the early stage of Qi refining.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Lu Changan feels that his Xuanshui turtle is growing slightly faster than the one introduced in the jade tube.

……

After feeding the Xuanshui Turtle, Lu Changan came to the first floor of the store.

"Miss, are you back?"

Mu Xiuyun, who was wearing a long blue gauze dress, was checking the talisman at the store counter.

Two years ago, Mu Xiuyun was promoted to the ninth layer of qi refining, and since then, she has often been absent from the store.

I don't know if it's something in the family, or if it's planning to build a foundation.

Fortunately, the business of the store is stable at present, not bad or bad, and the two apprentices have also grown.

Mu Shan and Mu Ershun became first-order low-grade talisman masters, and the low-grade talismans they drew were already profitable.

Among them, Mu Shan is good at human feelings and sophistication, and is regarded as the second shopkeeper in the store.

"Chang'an, this is a spirit pigeon flying letter sent by the Fang City Post Station."

Mu Xiuyun stirred her hair in a bun, elegant and soft, and handed a letter to Lu Changan.

The envelope has the logo of Jin Yungu, which was sent by Zhao Siyao.

In the world of cultivating immortals, fixed gathering places for cultivating immortals, such as major markets, sects, and families, will have post stations for correspondence with each other.

The spirit pigeon flying letter is a kind of faster speed.

Lu Changan used a specific method to break the prohibition on the envelope and open the letter.

A few years ago, Zhao Siyao went to the Yellow Dragon Immortal City near the Black Mist Mountain Range, and occasionally had contact with Lu Changan.

Recently, Zhao Siyao has almost gathered the resources of Zhuji Dan and has returned to Jinyun Valley.

"Chang'an, what's wrong?"

Mu Xiuyun looked at it with concern.

Lu Chang'an Xin only saw half of it, his face changed suddenly, and his brows were furrowed.

His expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time.

Lin Yi ...... Death from serious injuries? ”

Mu Xiuyun took the letter, her face was pale, and her onion fingers trembled slightly.

"What! Uncle Lim: Passed away? ”

Mu Ershun, who was busy not far away, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the conversation.

Lin Yi is a friend of his father.

In the past 20 years, he has visited Mujia many times, and he has also come to Fang Market during auctions.

The last time we saw each other was five years ago.

At that time, Uncle Lin also asked his proud son Lin Lu to have more contact with Mu Ershun.

Unexpectedly, today, the bad news came suddenly.

Mu Xiuyun put down the letter and said softly: "Chang'an, do you want to go over?" ”

"Hmm."

Lu Changan nodded, after all, more than 20 years of friendship.

As a talisman master, he often traded with Lin Yi's Hidden Immortal Pavilion, and there was a box of letters he received.

Zhao Siyao was rushing to Hengshui Mansion.

Regarding the cause of Lin Yi's death.

The letter described that Lin Yi led the monks of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion and cooperated with the disciples of Jinyun Valley to encircle and suppress a wanted evil cultivator.

In the end, although he repelled the evil cultivator, Lin Yi was extremely injured and was unable to return to the sky.

When he was sent back to Hengshui Mansion, he was seriously injured and died.

……

"Let's go find Changqing first."

Lu Changan took Mu Xiuyun's flying boat, and the two set off together.

For the first time in ten years, Lu Changan left Fang City.

"Huh! The sun came out in the west, and the turtle talisman actually went out? ”

The monks he knew in Fang City couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lu Chang'an leaving.

Nowadays, the area around Zhuye Mountain is generally stable, and a small number of disasters and repairs are not in the climate.

The evil face of the flying eagle back then, only rumors, have long disappeared.

Even if it appears.

With Lu Chang'an's body refining skills, the strength of the first-order peak of the Earth Rock Rat, even if he does not use the talisman hole card, he can deal with it with confidence.

What's more, there is also a ninth-level Qi refining Mu Xiuyun beside him.

The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and it arrived at the Mujia station of Feiyue Lake in less than a day.

Ten years without a return.

Seeing the sparkling and jade luster of Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan actually felt a sense of intimacy.

Feiyue Villa and the surrounding spiritual fields and medicine gardens have a lot of changes.

There was a noticeable increase in the number of monks in the family, and there were many more young faces.

The flying boat landed in Li Ergou's courtyard.

"Lin Yi died? The little marquis is dead? ”

Li Ergou, who learned the bad news, trembled the flesh of his round face, and was stunned for a long time.

Perhaps, the deepest impression of Lin Yi in his mind is still the awe-inspiring little marquis who exuded royal power and nobility twenty years ago.

Lu Changan and Li Ergou discussed and went to Hengshui Mansion to mourn the deceased.

"Chang'an, I'll go with you."

Mu Xiuyun said softly.

"No, you are now a senior member of the Mu family, and you have important things to do."

Lu Changan shook his head and said.

He knew that Mu Xiuyun was very busy, going back and forth between the family and the store, and planning to build a foundation.

What's more, Mu Xiuyun has no friendship with Lin Yi.

Mu Xiuyun's gentle eyes couldn't help but darken, and she said lightly: "Then I'll lend you the flying boat." ”

……

A few days later.

The flying boat came to a valley a hundred miles south of Hengshui City.

This is the stronghold of the Hidden Immortal Pavilion, which is hidden by the phantom array.

Lin Yi left a message before he died, wanting to bury himself here.

Fall into the valley.

Lu Changan saw five or six monks, sitting cross-legged in a corner of the valley.

There is a mausoleum there, and a tombstone has been erected.

Zhao Siyao, dressed in white, sat next to a slightly dark-skinned young man and beckoned to the two.

"Uncle Lu, Uncle Li."

Lin Lu knelt in front of the tombstone, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was haggard and desolate.

Li Ergou looked at the name on the tombstone in a daze.

Suddenly, my mind collapsed, and I began to cry.

This made Lin Lu, who was kneeling next to him, also sob.

Lu Changan was a little surprised, although Li Ergou and Lin Yi have known each other for a long time, their friendship has not reached a particularly good point.

At the beginning of their acquaintance, Lin Yi despised Li Ergou.

Li Ergou was very afraid of that little marquis.

Later, they became friends, laughed at enmity and hatred, and talked about everything.

Zhao Siyao and several monks came over to persuade Li Ergou.

"Big brother, Lin Yi is smarter than me, and he has more skills, and he has created an immortal cultivation force with only one hand, and he has been in the limelight for a while. I'm nowhere near as good as him! ”

Li Ergou wiped his tears and said.

"After a long road of cultivating immortals, how many steps can we take more than him? When the time comes, we will ...... one by one."

Lin Yi's death had a serious impact on Li Ergou's Dao heart.

Lin Yi is the first, by no means the last!

The road ahead seems to be dark.

This pessimistic mood even infected Zhao Siyao and several other monks, and the atmosphere was dull for a while.

Lu Changan put on a stick of incense and bowed to the tombstone.

He opened his mouth to break the silence,

"You're right, we can't see the end of the immortal road, and every step may fall on the road. But every time you take an extra step, you can enjoy the scenery you have never seen before, and you will be able to enjoy the fairy fate of this life. It can't be made in this life, and there is an afterlife! ”

"I don't want the avenue to be eternal, I just wish the fairy road to be evergreen."
