A few days later.

A dark blue turtle, treading the waves and escaping into the sky, close to Zhuye Shanfang City.

"The situation is not optimistic."

On the wide back of the turtle, a gentle and handsome white-clothed male cultivator sat cross-legged, looking at the depressed, almost half-ruined Zhuye Shanfang City.

Lu Changan went to Jinyun Valley on this trip, preparing to find Zhang Tieshan to trade the secret method of turning pills.

Zhuye Shanfang City, and even Feiyue Lake Mujia, although it is not the only way, is in the general direction.

Before leaving Liang State, Lu Changan planned to revisit his hometown and meet his old friend Li Erqing, who he had met when he was young.

Zhuye Shanfang City, when Lu Chang'an was in the middle of Qi refining, he practiced here for ten years, guarding the shop, silently drawing talismans, and accumulating heritage.

In this Fang City, he went to Wushan for the first time in his life with a nun who had a good impression of him, and experienced a good time.

The prosperity of the auction back then is vivid.

Even the Xuanshui Turtle was successfully hatched in this Fang City.

"Your Excellency is Senior Lu......"

In the dilapidated second-order formation of Zhuye Mountain, a man in Tsing Yi in the early stage of foundation building cautiously looked at the landing in Chang'an.

"Do you know Lu?"

Lu Changan was a hundred feet away, and glanced at the man in Tsing Yi who didn't dare to go out easily, and it was estimated that he was a town guard monk in Fang City.

"In Xia Zhao Gang, Jin Yun Valley is newly promoted to build a foundation, and when he was young, he saw Senior Lu in Huanglong Immortal City."

The man in Tsing Yi Zhuji, who claims to be a junior, looks very respectful.

Although the two of them are both foundation building monks, there is a world of difference between cultivation and status.

Lu Changan's age is nearly 100 years older than him, and it is normal to call his predecessors.

"What's going on in Takehayama lately?"

Lu Changan asked casually.

Most of the shops in the market were destroyed, and there were scorch marks and dried blood stains everywhere.

"Back to the Lu seniors, a few days ago, the 'Maple Leaf Huang Family' was attacked and exterminated by the enemy monks at night, which caused Zhuye Shanfang City to get further out of control, and was robbed and looted by the surrounding monks......

"After the sect law enforcement monks arrived, the situation was stabilized. Now, this Fang City is guarded by me and the foundation building monks of the surrounding Xiuxian families. "The man in Tsing Yi built the foundation, stating the cause and effect.

"The monks lurking in the Feng Kingdom are so rampant?"

Lu Changan said angrily.

The area around Zhuye Mountain, although it is not the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom, is also in the inner area, and it is far away from the front line.

"Alas, the main reason is that the front line is tight, and several major sects try to intercept them, but it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net."

Tsing Yi Zhuji smiled.

Lu Changan actually knew the reason.

A month ago, on the front-line battlefield, the Liang Guozong suffered another small defeat and was opened up some gaps.

Now, some small groups of elite monks from enemy countries have infiltrated the rear of the battlefield in the territory of Liang to plunder wealth and resources.

For small and medium-sized immortal cultivation families, spiritual vein dojos, and the sect's poorly guarded Fang Market.

These small groups of elite monks of the enemy country, mainly during the foundation building period, dispersed their actions, intending to destroy the logistics of the Liang State and create chaos.

Knowing the situation, Lu Changan prepared to leave and head to Feiyue Lake.

The Tsing Yi Zhuji looked worried, bowed down and pleaded:

"Senior Lu, now the power of the sect is involved in the frontal battlefield. There is a lack of law enforcement personnel in the surrounding area, and the juniors ask for your help in guarding the town. In terms of remuneration, I believe that Elder Jinyun Valley will not treat Senior Lu badly. ”

"Lu has an urgent matter, and there is nothing he can do."

Lu Changan mercilessly refused.

On the way, he met several sect monks who had been interrogated, and it was not the first time he had rejected the same request.

He had also seen that lonely ordinary monks were forcibly recruited by the sect.

Lu Changan, as a late stage of foundation building, was famous, and he rode a big turtle, and the monks of the sect who checked on the road did not dare to embarrass him.

Putting aside the relationship between the elders of the sect, most of the law enforcement monks encountered on the road were inferior to him in terms of cultivation and surface strength, and they behaved more politely and behaved very well-behaved.

Tsing Yi Zhuji was a little disappointed, thinking of the rumors of the "Turtle Talisman Master", he was relieved.

"Senior Lu, can you sell some talismans for you?"

He had an idea and proposed.

"Yes." Lu Changan nodded, this time he didn't refuse.

Not long after, another foundation monk flew out of the city.

The two foundation building monks made a deal with Lu Chang'an.

Lu Changan sold more than a dozen second-order talismans of poor quality on his body.

At the same time, a defective second-order mid-grade puppet was also sold.

Nowadays, there are very few puppets on Lu Chang'an that are lower than the second-order upper grade.

Before leaving Wuqi Mountain, he didn't take with him the group of early puppets that had been guarding Xiaoguifeng all year round, including two second-order puppets.

There are formations and puppets to defend themselves, which is convenient for chiffon to pass the weak period before the foundation is built.

……

"Elder Zhang of your sect is now in Jinyun Valley?"

Before leaving, Lu Changan asked.

In recent months, he has written to Mr. Zhang, saying that he was going to visit, but he has not received a reply.

Lu Changan suspected that Zhang Tieshan was on the front line and did not receive the letter.

"Not sure. The junior came out of the mountain gate two months ago and did not see Elder Zhang. ”

Tsing Yi Zhuji's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not give an accurate reply.

Lu Changan knew that as a sect monk, he did not dare to easily leak the specific whereabouts of the high-level to the outside.

Lu Changan flew away from Zhuye Mountain on a turtle and muttered for a moment.

"It seems that Zhang Tieshan is indeed not in Jinyun Valley in the near future, and there is a high probability that he will be fighting on the front line, or he is performing other missions."

Lu Changan had a little headache, even if he went to Jinyun Valley, he might not be able to see Zhang Tieshan in the short term.

Go to the front line to find Zhang Tieshan?

Lu Changan was not so stupid and denied it directly.

He, a veteran talisman in the late stage of foundation building, went to the front line, and it was no different from meat buns and dogs.

It is likely to be requisitioned by the elders of the sect.

"Wait half a year at most."

Lu Changan quickly made a decision.

When the monks of the sect go to the front line to fight, there is often a rotation.

If the injury is too serious, he may also return to the sect to recuperate and be responsible for the security of the town in the rear.

Zhang Tieshan should have been on the front line for a long time. Within half a year, the possibility of coming back is not small.

In addition, Lu Changan can also ask the monks of the sect who he knows to summon to the front line and try to get in touch.

……

Half a day later.

Lu Changan arrived at the magnificent Feiyue Lake.

At this time, it was late at night, and the Feiyue Lake Mu family was heavily guarded, and the formation was in a state of activation.

Before Lu Changan could get closer, he discovered the hidden vigilance formation.

Once there is a mana fluctuation, close to the territory of Feiyue Lake, it will be detected by the Mu family.

On the shore of Feiyue Lake, the patrolling Mujia monks looked vigilant one by one, and they did not dare to take it lightly.

Obviously, the extermination of the clan adjacent to the "Maple Leaf Huang Family" sounded the alarm for the Mu family.

It's not just the Mu family.

Due to the lack of manpower in the sect, the control power has declined seriously, and the surrounding immortal cultivation forces are all in danger, and they are afraid that they will become the target of attack.

"The Mu family's clan protection formation, when I asked the master fairy to arrange and transform, in the case of precautions, even if the enemy country's foundation building elite came to a team, it would be difficult to overcome it in a short time."

Lu Changan looked at it for a moment and nodded secretly.

Compared with the surrounding Fang City and the Xiuxian family, the formation protection of the Feiyue Lake Mu family is the strongest.

Because it was late at night and a special period, Lu Changan did not bother rashly.

Early the next morning.

Lu Changan took a Xuanshui turtle and visited the Mujia family in Feiyue Lake.

The foundation building ancestor who came out to greet Lu Changan was not Li Erqing.

"Uncle Lu."

It was a familiar figure with a clear and slender face, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice.

Mu Bingyun was dressed in an ink-colored loose robe, her face did not change much, she looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was more mature and stable.

Its timbre does not have the girlish feeling of the year, but it has another dignified female cultivator's magnetic and pleasant ear, and the charm does not lose the majesty of the ancestor of the foundation.

"Bingyun, I haven't seen you for many years, and the progress is not small."

When they got closer, the two looked at each other, and Lu Changan looked calm and smiled.

Mu Bingyun's mood fluctuated slightly, but she returned to calm in an instant, pursed her lips and smiled, and talked calmly.

"The Xuanshui Turtle has grown so big, it can fly and carry people?"

Soon, Mu Bingyun was attracted by the big turtle in front of her, her starry eyes were shining, and she happily stepped forward and touched the huge head of the Xuanshui turtle.

The Xuanshui Turtle knew Mu Bingyun and rubbed her hand affectionately.

Subsequently, Mu Bingyun also sat on the back of the Xuanshui Turtle and returned to the cave on Moon Heart Island with Lu Changan.

"Li Erqing is not in the clan land?"

"Uncle Erqing cooperates with the law enforcement monks of Jinyun Valley to inspect the monks of the enemy country in the surrounding area."

After talking, Lu Changan learned that in the current Feiyue Lake Clan, only Mu Bingyun is in charge of the foundation building period.

Lu Changan was not in a hurry to see Li Erqing.

Anyway, I have to wait for Zhang Tieshan to come back, and it doesn't hurt to be a guest at Mu's house for a while.

In addition to guarding the clan land, Mu Bingyun, as a second-order senior talisman master, shared a lot of talisman drawing tasks for Jin Yungu.

Coupled with Zhang Tieshan's relationship, the two Zhuji of Feiyue Lake did not go to the front line to participate in the war, and the clansmen in the middle and late stages of Qi refining were sent a lot.

Mu Bingyun has cultivated to the sixth layer of the foundation, and after all these years of honing his talisman skills, he has touched the threshold of the second-order high-grade talisman master.

In the cave, the two drank tea and talked with each other, from the morning to the sunset.

During this period, Mu Bingyun resigned from all affairs in the clan.

In terms of cultivation and drawing talismans, Lu Changan gave Mu Bingyun a little touch, but it was not beyond the level of his own cultivation.

Seeing that it was not early, Lu Changan got up to say goodbye, not wanting to stay in Mu Bingyun's cave mansion.

"Why should Uncle Lu shy away? Back then, Bingyun was attacked by a night fisherman and also stayed overnight in Lu Shudong's mansion. ”

Mu Bingyun smiled and said calmly.

"There's no need, the Mu family, there are many rooms. As the ancestor of a clan, you must maintain your majesty and image. ”

Lu Changan waved his hand.

At this time, he noticed the change in Mu Bingyun's mentality, no longer as young and apprehensive as she once was, and could calmly handle family affairs, including personal feelings.

"Then Uncle Lu will be a guest at Feiyue Lake for some time,"

Mu Bingyun was not reluctant, and arranged a separate courtyard dojo for Lu Changan on Yuexin Island.

……

In the following half a month, Lu Changan was a guest on Yuexin Island.

Due to the difference in identity and status, Lu Changan only went in to see the small courtyard by the lake where he lived during the gas refining period.

Mu Bingyun visits Lu Changan from time to time, and will consciously leave after sunset.

Even so, Lu Chang'an's fake Dan-level divine sense occasionally caught individual gossip on the Moon Heart Island.

Until this day, Li Erqing returned to Feiyue Lake.

"Brother Lu!"

Li Erqing, who had a gray beard, the first thing the Hui did, went straight to the courtyard where Lu Chang'an stayed, and it was difficult to hide his surprise.

Over the years, due to the impact of the war, Lu Changan and Feiyue Lake have not had much contact, and they have not seen Li Erqing for many years.

Li Erqing has aged a lot, and when he is over fifty years old, when he smiles, the accumulation of nasolabial folds on his face becomes more and more obvious.

The slightly rounded face can vaguely show the richness of the past.

Lu Changan realized that Li Erqing's youth and prosperity had become a thing of the past and was transitioning to his twilight years.

"Erqing, you have been assisting the Mu family all these years, and you didn't go to the Li family in Xuemei Mountain, but you impressed the eldest brother."

Lu Changan patted him on the shoulder and said with relief.

"Brother Lu, all these years have passed, and almost nothing has changed."

Li Erqing looked at the young and familiar man in white in front of him in a daze, and his mood was very complicated.

Lu Chang'an not only did not change his appearance, but also repaired to the later stage of foundation building.

Who would have thought that in the Qi Refining Period, his cultivation was once ahead of Lu Chang'an, and he was the first to be promoted to the Foundation Building Period.

Now, Li Erqing's cultivation is at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and it is difficult to advance an inch.

"Alas, I knew earlier that the younger brother also cultivated his life back then." Li Erqing said with annoyance.

"Hehe, your eldest brother is not old, not only by health skills, but also by having a good attitude, and his cultivation has been steadily improving."

"It's too hard."

"Of course, you still have to be like a big brother and take a Zhuyan Pill."

Lu Changan changed his words.

Li Erqing: ......

In the hall of the annex courtyard.

Lu Changan and Li Erqing chatted late at night, reminiscing about the past, gossiping about future generations, and worrying about the war situation.

During the conversation, Li Erqing's name mentioned the most often was "Li Congren", and it was difficult to hide his pride.

Lu Changan had to admit that Li Congren was indeed very successful.

led the people of the Yimai clan to expand in the remote and bitter cold land, and in just twenty or thirty years, he created a powerful family of cultivating immortals.

The Li family of Xuemei Mountain, based in the northwest of the Liang Kingdom, is friendly with the Zhou family of the imperial beast and has dealings with merchants from neighboring countries.

Lu Changan is going to Jingguo to get married, and he will have to use Li Congren's channels to get convenience.

Regarding this matter, Lu Changan did not mention it to Li Congren in his letter, and he had knocked on the side a few years ago.

……

"By the way, what is Mu Jiu'an's situation now?"

Lu Changan suddenly thought that Li Erqing's ninth son, "Mu Jiu'an", was accepted as an apprentice by the Jiedan monk when he was young, and later joined the Jinyang Sect of the Feng Kingdom.

Now, the main force invading the Liang State is the Jinyang Sect and its affiliated immortal cultivation forces.

The Jinyang Sect has two Yuanying True Monarchs, and it is the oldest sect in the surrounding Immortal Cultivation Kingdom.

"Jiu'an He ......"

At the mention of Mu Jiu'an, Li Erqing's face was hesitant and he wanted to stop.

Lu Changan had a flash of inspiration and guessed.

"If it's inconvenient, needless to say, big brother understands your distress."

Li Erqing and Lu Changan have known each other for more than 100 years, and they are willing to open their hearts to him in many things.

"I haven't told the second person about this, including Bingyun and Congren......"

Li Erqing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and set up a layer of prohibition on the spot.

He realized that with Lu Changan's intelligence and life experience, he might guess some of the truth of the matter from his own reaction.

Seeing this, Lu Changan strengthened another layer of isolation and prohibition.

"Jiu'an, has lurked in the territory of Liang State, and has secretly contacted me."

Li Erqing lowered his voice, sweat oozed from his forehead, and told the secret hidden deep in his heart.

Even if Lu Changan had a guess, he couldn't help but be moved!

"Jiu'an said that in this war, the Liang State will be defeated! Let me make a decision sooner......"

"You...... Have you ever said yes? ”

Mu Jiu'an secretly contacted his father, for what purpose, Lu Changan didn't have to think about it at all.

"Betraying the Liang State Cultivation Immortal Realm and colluding with the enemy country's sect, the younger brother doesn't dare to do it."

Telling the secret in his heart, Li Erqing was relieved.

Li Erqing's current choice is related to the life and death of the Mu family, and the pressure he is under can be imagined.

If you collude with the enemy country and wait for the opportunity to move, then the Jinyang Sect will kill you, not only will you be able to protect the family, but you will also be able to get a great reward.

If he does not agree, Mu Jiu'an will not be able to protect the Mu family at that time, and at most he will keep his relatives.

Assuming that the incident happens and is discovered by the Liang State Sect, the Mu family will face a catastrophe.

Lu Changan sighed and did not comment on Li Erqing's choice.

As an outsider, he can't even give advice.

Either way, there are significant risks and variables.

……

Three days later.

Lu Changan left Feiyue Lake and went away on a turtle.

The night before leaving.

Lu Chang'an, Li Erqing, and Mu Bingyun discussed secretly for a long time in the forbidden place of the family.

Lu Changan and the Mu family made a deal again.

This transaction involves a quasi-third-order talisman, a second-order top-level puppet, and a Zhuyan Pill.

That Zhuyan Pill was not for Mu Bingyun to take, but for the future.

One day in the future, if the Jinyang Sect kills him, through Mu Jiu'an's relationship, he will be offered to Yan Dan to curry favor with the high-level magnates of the Jinyang Sect.

This is the only strategy given by Lu Changan, or a back road.

For the above transactions, Lu Changan is basically calculated at cost price.

In addition, before parting, he secretly gave Li Erqing a talisman treasure.

Ordinary rune treasures are no longer a powerful means for Lu Changan today.

He unleashed the rudimentary form of a magic weapon, or the melee blow of the body refining technique, which was comparable to an ordinary rune treasure.

Lu Changan had previously given Zhao Siyao a treasure talisman. In order to avoid the attention of those who care, this time it was changed in a different way.

……

Fly thousands of miles out of Feiyue Lake.

Lu Changan looked at the direction of Jinyun Valley, there were still a few days away, and he didn't know if he could contact Zhang Tieshan.

I heard Li Erqing say before that Zhao Siyao was in retreat in Jinyun Valley recently, preparing for the knot.

Passing by an inlet, Lu Changan suddenly had an induction.

The Xuanshui Turtle under the seat inexplicably hit a spirit.

"It's so strong."

Lu Changan faintly smelled a hint of blood.

Overlooking the inlet below, there is a second-order spiritual vein where the immortal cultivation family is located.

In the broken formation, the pavilion collapsed, and the fire had not yet been extinguished.

"Is it ......?"

Lu Changan's face changed slightly, and when he thought of the destruction of the Maple Leaf Huang family, he immediately flew around the road.

It was only after half a mile of detouring that he sensed a lock of false Dan-level divine sense.

"Hehe, found an interesting little guy."

The voice of the old man came from near the inlet of the destroyed family.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Six or seven breaths of figure in the foundation building period flew out from the sand dunes shrouded by the sheltering formation next to the inlet.

These foundation-building monks are all elites of the same level, and their exercises are pure, surpassing several major sects of the Liang Kingdom, mainly in the middle and late stages of foundation building.

In addition, there are fake Dan real people who have not appeared.

"Monk of the Beacon Kingdom?"

Lu Changan frowned slightly, he actually encountered an elite cultivator from an enemy country, and it seemed that he had just destroyed an immortal cultivation family.

"Tsk, with the second-order Xuanshui Turtle as a mount, this guy should have a bit of a background."

Six or seven foundation building monks outflanked them, with a playful face, as if they had caught a fish that had slipped through the net.

Lu Changan was locked by the fake Dan real person in the shadows, intending to determine the location of the other party first.

At this moment, an abrupt voice came:

“…… Are you Lu Bo? ”

A young man from the Jinyang Sect in the late stage of foundation building was stunned, and with a shocked expression, he looked at the man in white on the turtle's back.
