Ten days later, Lu Changan stabilized his realm and officially exited the customs.

"Congratulations to Brother Lu, your mana has greatly improved."

"Congratulations to Uncle Lu for breaking through."

Walking out of the cave, the two maids stood on both sides and congratulated each other.

"Bingyun, Uncle Lu has seen that you have defeated two first-order high-grade puppets."

Lu Changan smiled and looked at the slender woman in the green dress.

"I can't defeat the ground rats that suppress cultivation and strength."

Mu Bingyun said softly.

She took out a bag of spirit stones with a little weakness and bit her lips:

"Uncle Lu, I broke two puppets, are these spirit stones enough for compensation?"

Lu Changan smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said, "Keep your spirit stone to build a foundation." ”

Two first-order golems don't cost much to repair.

Mu Bingyun passed the test he proposed, and she had to say goodbye in the future.

"Bingyun, pack your luggage and follow me to Feiyue Lake to attend Li Erqing's 100th birthday."

Lu Changan commanded.

"Hmm." Mu Bingyun hesitated, and finally nodded.

For Li Erqing's vein, she doesn't have a good sense.

If Lu Changan didn't say it, she was going to go out to practice and not return to Mu's house.

On the same day, Lu Changan and the others rushed to Feiyue Lake by flying boat.

Although Lu Changan has long since left the Mu family, his participation in his 100th birthday is a personal friendship between him and Li Erqing for more than 80 years.

"Bingyun, wait back to the family. Give this letter to your master. ”

On the way, Lu Changan took out a letter and handed it to Mu Bingyun.

……

Six or seven days later.

The vast Feiyue Lake comes into view.

"Big brother."

Li Erqing, who was wearing a red birthday robe, took the lead to greet him.

The cultivation of immortals has a large area and a long time, and birthday ceremonies like Li Erqing generally last for many days and are used to entertain relatives and friends from all over the world.

Lu Changan patted Li Erqing on the shoulder, and the two flew to the main hall of Moon Island together.

"Congratulations to the eldest brother, who has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building."

Li Erqing noticed the change in Lu Changan's cultivation, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

In the middle stage of foundation building, the mana rose sharply, and the strength crushed the early stage of foundation building.

The deterrence that Huang Tankong brought to the Mu family and the surrounding area can be seen.

In contrast, Li Erqing was involved in family affairs because of his low qualifications, and now there is still a gap between him and the third layer of the foundation.

Li Erqing is in a complicated mood, and it is inevitable that there is a sense of gap.

Eighty years ago, both started from the same place.

In the past few decades, Li Erqing has been ahead of Lu Changan, and he was temporarily caught up only at the seventh level of qi refining.

After he broke through the bottleneck in the later stage, Xiuwei took the lead again, because of the opportunity of his children, he had to build the foundation Dan first and become the foundation building ancestor of the Mu family.

However, Lu Chang'an's cultivation speed is slow, but it is very solid and steady.

Even in the foundation building period, it is still steadily improving. Li Erqing lost his stamina and heart.

……

The two landed in front of the main hall of Moonheart Island.

"Erqing, this is my congratulatory gift."

Lu Changan handed a gift box to Li Erqing.

"Lu Daoyou."

"Uncle Lu."

Zhao Siyao and Lin Lu, who were familiar with each other, built the foundation and greeted them.

The two also found that Lu Chang'an had made a breakthrough in cultivation, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Lu Daoyou has accumulated a lot of money and is a late bloomer, which is admirable."

Zhao Siyao smiled happily and praised.

Her mood is not calm at the moment.

Zhao Siyao's qualifications are higher, backed by the sect, and has always been far ahead of Lu Changan and others.

However, after the foundation building period, she has been smoothly cultivating and improving, but she has encountered resistance. Every small realm bottleneck has to take many years and months and energy to overcome.

"Zhao Daoyou praised falsely, Lu was just a fluke."

Lu Changan said modestly.

"Perhaps because of my solid foundation and good mentality, after I cultivated to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, I broke through the small realm relatively smoothly."

Hearing this, Zhao Siyao and Lin Lu couldn't help but think deeply.

Indeed, Lu Chang'an's more than 80 years of practice, step by step, has an extremely solid foundation.

Cultivating life, raising turtles and planting grass, his mood is far beyond ordinary people.

"In terms of foundation and state of mind, we are not as good as Lu Daoyou."

Zhao Siyao said calmly.

She is keenly aware of the gap.

The breakthrough of the small realm is inherently different from person to person.

A small number of monks may not have outstanding qualifications, but they have a deep foundation and an excellent state of mind, making it easier for them to break through than ordinary monks.

This situation is even higher among monks who have cultivated their own skills.

"Zhao Daoyou polishes for a few more years, and it should not be difficult to be promoted to the later stage of foundation building."

Lu Changan noticed that Zhao Siyao's cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

"I hope so."

Zhao Siyao sighed lightly.

Judging from the current trend, it is difficult for her to be promoted to the late stage of foundation building before the age of 100.

Fortunately, the trip to the Qingming Secret Realm has somewhat gained some gains, and it is a rare grind.

As long as you can be promoted to the later stage of foundation building, you will have surpassed most of the foundation building period, and your status in the sect will be significantly improved.

In the ensuing chat, Lu Changan learned that Zhang Tieshan was promoted to the late stage of foundation building half a year ago.

It is said that Zhang Tieshan's opportunity harvest in the Qingying Secret Realm is one of the best among the participating monks in Jinyun Valley.

This time, he stood out and improved his strength and status within the sect, and was valued by the core elders.

At Li Erqing's birthday banquet, Zhang Tieshan did not show up and asked a disciple to congratulate him on his birthday.

……

"Bingyun, go back and see Ling's master first."

Lu Changan said to Mu Bingyun, who was slightly cramped on the side.

She hasn't gotten out of the role of Lu Chang'an's maid yet.

"Yes, Uncle Lu."

Mu Bingyun left with a letter, and went to see the master with the letter from Lu Changan.

Lu Changan's divine sense paid attention to Mu Bingyun and made sure that he was not intercepted on the way.

He looked at Zhao Siyao and said:

"Zhao Daoyou, there is something that requires you to be a middleman, you don't need to waste time and effort, you can get a reward of five hundred spirit stones."

"Oh, such an easy thing?"

Zhao Siyao's lips pursed, thoughtful.

Subsequently, the two communicated for a while.

The letter that Lu Changan asked Mu Bingyun to bring back hinted that there was an opportunity to build a foundation, and in the hands of Zhao Siyao, let them fight for it.

Zhao Siyao has refined Zhuji Dan in the sect, and it can stand up to scrutiny.

Lu Changan brought back a Zhuji Dan before, and made a transaction with the Mu family.

The same deal, if it were to be done again, it would be too easy for this Tsukidan to come.

……

After the birthday feast.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao both spent the night in the guest rooms of Yuexin Island.

The two of them are foundation building monks and enjoy their own compounds.

Late that night.

Mu Chengji, the head of the family, and an old woman wearing a veil went to visit the compound where Zhao Siyao stayed.

About half an hour.

Zhao Siyao sent the two visitors out of the room, her expression slightly complicated.

"Only the avenue and the sun and the moon are eternal."

She looked at the night sky and suddenly realized: Back then, in Juxian Tower, Lu Changan took the initiative to change his name, not just to protect Mingzhe.

……

Early the next morning, Zhao Siyao came to Lu Changan's guest room.

"Lu Daoyou, this is the spirit stone that sells the foundation pill."

She handed a spirit stone bag to Lu Changan.

In the past, at the Huanglong auction, a genuine Zhuji Dan was sold for 6,000 spirit stones.

In this bag, there are five thousand five hundred spirit stones.

Lu Changan paid 500 of them as a middleman and gave it to Zhao Siyao.

In this transaction, Lu Changan is mainly a businessman, and he sells it to other forces for cash, which is probably the price.

The Mu family at least knows the roots, and through Zhao Siyao's sect, the risk is minimized.

From the perspective of the Mu family, Zhao Siyao and Lu Changan have a good relationship, and they must be willing to make this deal because of the latter's face.

Mu Bingyun has been in Xiaoguifeng for so many years, and she has no credit and hard work, and when she gets this opportunity to build a foundation, she must understand the blessings.

Half an hour later.

A woman in a blue skirt who was as graceful as jade hurriedly flew to the compound where Lu Changan was staying.

"Uncle Lu."

However, the yard was empty.

Lu Changan didn't say goodbye and didn't take her away.

Mu Bingyun's eyes were red, and she stood stunned for a moment, her heart was inexplicably empty.

She understood that from now on, she was no longer the maid of Little Turtle Peak.

The days of warm and conditioning, assisting Uncle Lu in drawing talismans, taking care of the mountain peaks, and being accompanied by ground rats and Xuanshui turtles will leave her.

……

In the sky outside Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan said goodbye to Zhao Siyao and Lin Lu.

Two Tsukidans have already been realized.

Previously, because of the acquisition of third-order spirit wood and other materials, Lu Changan's spirit stones were almost squeezed dry, and now the purse is bulging again.

Coupled with the seizure from Hua Danshi, the spirit stone exceeded 10,000.

There is only one Tsukidan left, and he is not in a hurry to sell it when he has a lot of money.

"Good luck."

Lu Changan took one last look at Feiyue Lake.

Whether Mu Bingyun can build a foundation or not is not something he can control.

Coincidentally.

Mu Bingyun's age is forty-seven years old, the same as Mu Xiuyun back then.

The qualifications of the two are similar, and Mu Bingyun is slightly better at most.

The difference is that Mu Bingyun did not stick to the family and made a different decision from the master back then.

Two months later.

Feiyue Lake, above the Moon Island.

The aura of heaven and earth converged, forming a small whirlpool of spiritual energy.

Ten days later, the whirlpool of spiritual energy, with a faint glow, dissipated slowly and steadily.

Then, in a cave on Moon Heart Island, there was a spiritual pressure from the foundation building period.

"Building the foundation is successful!"

Some of the clansmen of the old lineage of the Mu family were in tears and excited.

Today's Feiyue Lake has no external strong enemies, and the foundation building process is calm.

In the Maple Leaf Huang family, there is only one foundation building female cultivator left, relying on the Taoist couple in the later stage of foundation building, to keep his own one-acre and three-point land.

The one who was not so easy to get along with in the later stage of foundation building was insatiable, which made the Huang family miserable.

A few days later, inside the back room.

A female cultivator in a green skirt opened her bright eyes, and her skirt moved with the wind.

After being promoted to build the foundation, his appearance and temperament are invisibly improved.

"Master...... There was nothing wrong with the decision of the disciples. ”

"Your support over the years, using me as a stand-in for my youth, has verified a completely different fate, and is it gratifying to see it."

Mu Bingyun's face was radiant, and her snow face was like a lotus.

"Uncle Lu, thank you."

With respect on her face, she rose to her feet.

A pair of quiet and beautiful eyes threw themselves to the north of Feiyue Lake and bowed to them.

……

Three or four months later.

Wuqi Mountain, Little Turtle Peak.

Lu Changan unfolded the letter in his hand and looked at the Qingjun font on it.

This was the first letter he received from Mu Bingyun.

Mu Bingyun succeeded in building the foundation, as he expected.

Lu Changan did not reply.

Enter the Chamber of Secrets and start researching and crafting a puppet.

More than half a year later.

Lu Changan created a second second-order mid-grade puppet.

It's also a turtle puppet that fills up the defenses.

What has changed is that this turtle puppet can form a three-zhang high turtle shield, which can be used as a superb defensive magic weapon at critical moments.

After completing this turtle puppet, Lu Chang'an was in the middle stage of foundation building, and he was one hundred and three years old.

……

A few days later.

"Manrong! Lu Daoyou! You have to decide for me......"

A wail came from the periphery of Wuqi Mountain, far away, and the three main peaks could be heard.

"Brother Lu, Chen Sheng was deprived of a leg."

Not long after, Guan Qiaozhi came in to report the news.
