Two hours later.

Lu Changan took the spirit boat of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce and flew out of the Lonely Sun Immortal City in the border town of Jing Kingdom.

There were six monks on the boat, three of whom were in the foundation building period.

In addition to Lu Chang'an, Xia Mingqu, and the eight-character bearded old man who met on the spirit ship, the latter was cultivated in the later stage of foundation building.

Xia Mingqu called this person "Chenbo".

At first, Lu Changan thought it was an elder of the Xia family.

After Xia Mingqu's introduction, Lu Changan learned that this person's name was Wu Chen, and he was an elder of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the other party is one of the Wufu families, the patriarch of the Wu family.

In the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, the Wu family and the Xia family have a close relationship and intermarry with each other.

In the next two or three days, the other three Qi refining cultivators on the flying boat landed in the Fang Market on the way, where there were shops from the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

"Uncle Chen, you don't have to send it anymore. The little nephew has the confidence to take Wu Daoyou back to the clan land. ”

Xia Mingqu said.

The flying boat has arrived near the clan land where Elder Wu Chen is located, and if he goes to the Xia clan land, it will not be a stop.

"Can't go far! Anyway, it's okay to be idle, so it's okay to walk for two more days. ”

Wu Chen glanced at Lu Changan and said.

Six days later.

The flying boat arrived at the Changhong River and Qingshawan in the southeast region of Jingguo.

Lu Changan sensed a strong spiritual power, which obviously surpassed Wu Qi Mountain.

Through the misty phantom array, the flying boat entered the hinterland of Qingshawan, where the Xia clan was located.

Inlets, river beaches, small islands, Wushan, a variety of beautiful and natural terrain, relying on the medium-sized second-order high-grade spiritual veins, to build a water landscape with beautiful mountains and rivers, grass and warblers flying.

The hinterland of the family is shrouded by a quasi-third-order large array.

"Young master." In the Xia clan's land, the monks who were patrolling flew over.

"Nephew Xia Xian, I'll go first."

Elder Wu Chen did not stay in the Xia clan's land, and after delivering Lu Changan and the others, he left with confidence.

……

"Wu Daoyou, please."

Xia Mingqu took Lu Changan and flew to the hinterland of the family.

The monk of the Xia family who met on the road looked at Lu Changan curiously, and his reaction was mediocre.

Lu Changan's pseudonym "Wu Fan", his appearance and temperament are not outstanding, and he is a relatively down-to-earth middle-aged man with a round face and yellow beard.

The young female cultivator of the Xia clan only glanced at him, and had no interest in discussing it.

A moment later.

Lu Changan followed the famous song of Xia to the dangerous peak of a waterfall.

This place is the area with the strongest spiritual energy in the Xia Clan's heaven and earth, almost reaching the level of a quasi-third-order spiritual vein.

"Water Curtain Cave?"

Lu Changan glanced at the cave behind the waterfall, and three ancient texts were engraved on the stone tablet next to it.

"Wu Daoyou, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the patriarch."

Xia Mingqu confessed and entered the Water Curtain Cave.

Not long after, Xia Mingqu went and returned, bringing Lu Changan into the Water Curtain Cave.

In the water curtain cave, stalagmites are grouped, and the night pearls are dotted like stars.

Inside a stone hall.

Lu Changan met the highest patriarch of the Xia clan, Xia Hongyu.

"Wu Daoyou, let's talk alone."

Xia Hongyu is more than 200 years old, his body is like a jade tree, his face is handsome, and at first glance, he is less than 40 years old.

This fake Dan real person only has slightly gray sideburns, and when you get close to it, you will feel a sense of vicissitudes of time.

Lu Changan understood that he had met a monk who was also good at health preservation, and his cultivation was even higher.

"I heard a famous song just now, Wu Daoyou is a loose cultivator in the Liang State Immortal Realm, from Huanglong Immortal City?"

Xia Hongyu said with a little curiosity.

A pair of bland eyes fell on Lu Changan's face.

"Exactly."

Lu Changan noticed the faint fluctuation of his divine sense, and the depths of the eyes of this fake Dan real person shone with a strange light.

If it is a normal disguise and bone shrinking technique, even if the camouflage skills are profound, under the deliberate exploration of the secret technique of the fake Dan real person, the horse's feet will be exposed.

"A few decades ago, Xia went to Huanglong Immortal City, and even had a relationship or two with your country's 'Huanglong Zhenren'."

Xia Hongyu smiled on his face, retracted his gaze, and cut the topic to Huanglong Immortal City.

During the conversation, Lu Changan found that this person really had a certain understanding of Huanglong Immortal City.

Not only have I seen Huanglong Zhenren, but I also know a little about the important people in the Huanglong Mountain lineage, such as Ji Yifeng and Fu Xuemei.

Fortunately, Lu Changan used to be a casual cultivator in Huanglong Immortal City, and in the face of Xia Hongyu's temptation, he answered without leaking.

"The alchemy technique under the lower level has only been promoted to the second order in recent years. At that time, Huanglong Immortal City was in turmoil, and Wu left the place of right and wrong ahead of schedule. ”

Lu Changan supplemented his identity.

Now that it is a time of war, it is somewhat troublesome to check the identity of an ordinary foundation building and casual cultivation across borders.

There are many scattered cultivators in Huanglong Immortal City, and it is impossible for every foundation building monk to find out the information, and there will always be some people who hide their identities and cultivate low-key asceticism.

But if it is a second-order Dan Master, it is different, and it is relatively easy to investigate.

"Wu Daoyou, the refining of some ordinary second-order pills in the Chamber of Commerce or the clan needs you to take care of it in the future. Of course, your mission is mainly based on your own clan, and it is best to bring an alchemy apprentice with you. ”

After secret art exploration, chatting and testing, Xia Hongyu was basically relieved of Lu Changan's identity.

The important thing is that Lu Changan also signed a second-order spirit contract.

If it is a breach of contract, the cost is extremely high, and it is difficult to move an inch in the Jing Kingdom Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"Patriarch Xia rest assured, he will abide by the contract in the future. However, Wu's alchemy is only a minor, and his cultivation of the Dao is unshakable, so he can only devote part of his energy to alchemy. ”

In the spirit contract signed by Lu Changan before, there was a certain limit on the number of alchemies.

Beyond the basic alchemy task, you will be charged normal rewards. If there are too many of them, there is also the power to raise the price or refuse.

Hearing Lu Changan's bargaining, Xia Hongyu was not angry, but more down-to-earth.

Safeguarding his own interests shows that Lu Changan intends to fulfill the contract and has a certain degree of sincerity.

"In this jade tube, there is a second-order Dan Master inheritance, including some Dan Fang. Not long after Wu Daoyou became a second-order Dan master, he might be able to learn from one or two. ”

In the first negotiation, Xia Hongyu sent a meeting gift, hoping to win over Lu Changan.

The Dan Master inheritance he took out was only a second-order lower grade, which was somewhat beneficial to the newly promoted second-order Dan Master. There will be a higher-grade inheritance in the future.

However, Lu Changan has actually been a second-order Dan Master for several years, and there is no shortage of alchemy inheritance.

"At present, there are two dojos in the clan land, which are suitable for Wu Daoyou to practice. Later, let the famous song take you to the past. ”

After Xia Hongyu finished explaining, he called Xia Mingqu in again.

Xia Mingqu took Lu Changan to fly to the sky above Qingshawan and chose a cultivation dojo.

……

Lu Changan observed the terrain and denied the first dojo recommended by Xia Mingqu, which was located in the hinterland of the family, and the aura environment had reached the second-order upper grade.

"Wu likes to be clean, and the location of 'Autumn Wind Island' is more suitable for the appetite below."

Lu Changan looked at the wide inlet land, where there were several small islands scattered around, and from the shape, some of them were man-made islands.

One of the most remote islands with more turbulent currents is called "Autumn Wind Island".

This small island, less than two miles in radius, is planted with large orange leaves of spiritual trees.

The aura of heaven and earth is not as good as the first dojo, but the aura of wood is stronger.

"Autumnwind Island?"

Xia Mingqu hesitated slightly, but finally didn't say anything, and flew towards Autumn Wind Island with Lu Changan.

There is a formation shrouding in Autumn Wind Island, and it seems that people live inside.

"Aunt Wenyue."

Xia Mingqu called out outside, and punched in a transmission note.

Seeing Lu Changan's doubts.

He explained: "This dojo is temporarily taken care of by an elder in the Mingqu clan. ”

Waited for a moment.

The formation of Autumn Wind Island opened, and a weak girl wearing a light blue smoke gauze skirt with eyebrows like green daisies flew out.

"Famous song, you're here?"

The girl coughed lightly, and Ruyu's face turned sickly pale.

Her starry eyes looked at Lu Changan uneasily.

There is a faint sorrow between the eyebrows, as if there is a light smoke, and there is an indescribable pity and weakness.

Lu Changan's eyes were full of surprise, Xia Mingqu called him "aunt", he thought it was an old woman.

From the perspective of Shou Yuan's induction, the girl's age is probably a few rounds younger than Xia Mingqu.

This situation is not uncommon in the Xiuxian family.

For example, if the ancestor of Zhuji is more than 100 years old, he finds a young woman as a concubine, and the heirs he gives birth to are very high.

"Aunt Wen Yue, this is a foundation building period monk who has just joined the family, Wu Danshi."

Xia Mingqu introduced.

"I've seen Wu Danshi." Xia Wenyue bowed, and her eyes quickly glanced at the middle-aged man with a flat round face.

"From now on, Autumn Wind Island is the dojo of Wu Danshi."

"yes, I know."

Xia Wenyue lowered her head, bit her lower lip slightly, and answered softly.

Xia Mingqu couldn't bear it, sighed secretly, and smiled at Lu Chang'an:

"Wu Danshi, I'll take you in for a look."

Xia Wenyue froze in place, with tears in her eyes, watching the two of them step into Autumn Wind Island.

Lu Changan looked at the island under his feet, there was a garden compound in the central area, and the buildings in it were elegant and exquisite, like a dojo used by a female cultivator.

At the back of the garden compound, there is a deep pool with a radius of more than ten zhang, which is suitable for the Xuanshui turtle to inhabit.

Lu Changan looked around, this fresh and quiet style compared his appetite.

"Young Master Xia, what is the relationship between this dojo and the girl just now?"

Lu Changan didn't make a rash decision.

First of all, ask whether there are any controversial issues left over from history.

"Aunt Wen Yue's mother, by generation, is my aunt and grandmother, who was an elder of the family before her death, and made great contributions to the Xia family and the Chamber of Commerce. Ten years ago, the misfortune ......"

"According to the family rules, the descendants of the elders of the foundation building period can only live in the dojo cave mansion for a maximum of five years. Thinking of the old relationship, the patriarch let Aunt Wenyue live here for more than ten years. Of course, in the following years, it was in the name of taking care of the dojo. ”

"Wu Daoyou can rest assured that there are no remaining problems in this dojo. Aunt Wen Yue is a sensible person and will not have any complaints. ”

After listening to Xia Mingqu's statement, Lu Changan nodded and did not explore too much.

He just felt that Xia Mingqu didn't want to talk about Xia Wenyue's mother.

In addition, Xia Wenyue followed her mother's surname, and Xia Mingqu did not mention her biological father.

……

Enter the Garden Mansion in the heart of Akikaze Island.

Lu Changan saw some household objects and clothes used by the nuns.

"Wu Danshi, can you give the little woman half an hour to clean up the things in the house."

Xia Wenyue followed, her pale and sickly jade face showed a faint flush, and she hurriedly packed up her personal belongings.

Lu Changan naturally did not feel embarrassed, and walked out of the garden mansion with Xia Mingqu.

Lu Changan found that the spiritual vein environment of this island was a second-order mid-grade on the surface. However, the deep pool in the center seems to be connected to the earth's leylines, and the aura is very active.

If you set up a spirit gathering array and put in spirit stones, you can reach the second-order upper grade.

"Wu Danshi, this dojo, Aunt Wen Yue has stayed for a long time, and she has a special feeling. Can you consider letting her be the housekeeper or maid here, and it will be easier to take care of it. ”

Xia Mingqu helped to intercede.

Although Xia Wenyue is a Qi cultivator and her qualifications are not good, as the daughter of a deceased elder, she is actually a little aggrieved at the moment.

However, this is Xia Wenyue's own request.

If one day, Autumn Wind Island became an elder's dojo, she hoped to stay here, even if it was a current person.

Lu Changan was puzzled: "Wu has always liked to be quiet, but he just arrived in the Xia clan, and he doesn't know a lot of things. The candidate for this maid might as well be considered later. ”

"The famous song is abrupt."

Xia Mingqu smiled apologetically and didn't force it.

He thought that Lu Changan was worried about Xia Wenyue's identity, or he didn't want the maid assigned by the family.

"Congratulations to Wu Daoyou for becoming the new owner of Autumn Wind Island."

Xia Mingqu didn't stay too long, and left with his farewell.

Waited another quarter of an hour.

Xia Wenyue's weak willow figure came out of the mansion.

"Wu Danshi."

The girl's face became more and more pale, and she smiled at Lu Chang'an, bowed, and left reluctantly.

Lu Changan unfolded his divine sense to check the woman's condition.

Xia Wenyue's body is cold and weak, and she has the root of the disease, but she is not suitable for living on an island with a lot of moisture.

……

On the same day, Lu Changan began to plan and arrange his own dojo.

The formation and spirit gathering array on the island itself, Lu Changan didn't plan to move, as a peripheral formation, covering the entire Autumn Wind Island.

With the mansion and the cold pool behind him as the center, he was ready to rearrange his formation.

Before leaving Little Turtle Peak, Lu Changan dismantled the core part of the original quasi-third-order formation.

This was originally a formation set up by Shi Fairy.

Now, he is ready to move the core of this formation to the mansion of Autumn Wind Island.

The quasi-third-order formation is somewhat high-profile.

Lu Changan divided it into two layers: light and dark.

The Ming Array is a second-order high-grade formation; Dark Array has a stronger masking effect.

The combination of light and dark is a quasi-third order.

With this set of formations, no one in the Xia family could spy on the privacy of Lu Chang'an's Cave Mansion.

Ten days later.

Lu Changan's formation in the new dojo has been preliminarily completed.

The deep pool on the back side of the mansion was incorporated into the formation.

The turtle inhabits the deep pool every day. If there are visitors, the Xuanshui Turtle's ability to breathe and collect qi will dive to the bottom of the deep pool, and with the help of the formation to cover it, it is difficult for ordinary real people to find it.

As for the ground rats, they are currently staying in the mansion or underground, silently practicing the Transfiguration Technique.

When the spell is cultivated to a certain level, then change to the image of a rat breed and work on the island.

In fact, the ground rat is not the bloodline of a scarce species.

As long as it doesn't appear at the same time as the Xuanshui Turtle, and it happens to meet a monk from Liang Kingdom, Lu Changan's identity will not be easy to expose.

"If you want to really grow, it's best to take root. Well, you have to find a hidden and safe place, study it slowly, and don't rush ...... first."

"Jing Guo cultivates the immortal realm and has developed commerce and trade, so it should be easier than Liang Guo to buy the longevity pill, the material of a quasi-third-order puppet."

"The Earth Rock Rat has cultivated to the peak of the second order, and after it stabilizes on the side of Jing Kingdom, it will have to plot for it."

"In addition, it is necessary to keep an eye on the war of the Liang Kingdom's cultivation immortal realm, including the intelligence ...... of the Shi Immortal, the Ancient Ruins, and the Jinyang Sect."

When he first came to Jingguo, Lu Changan had many plans for the future.

It's just that at present, I haven't gained a firm foothold, I am not familiar with the surrounding environment, and I am not well connected, so I should not be in a hurry.

……

A month later.

Lu Chang'an adapted to the new identity of the Xia family's external monk and the owner of Autumn Wind Island, and spent the first month in Jing Kingdom in peace and security.

Soon, the first batch of alchemy materials of the Xia clan were sent to his house.

In fact, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce has a second-order high-grade Dan Master to worship, but he is old and has limited energy, and the alchemy is in short supply.

The Xia clan also cultivated a new generation of alchemists, but as a result, he betrayed the family and was poached.

Lu Chang'an's arrival was mainly to refine ordinary second-order pills and help relieve the pressure of the demand for second-order pills.

It would be best if you could train an alchemy apprentice.

Alchemy is very particular about talent and understanding. If there is only a inheritance, without the guidance of the Dan Master, it is also very difficult to explore on your own.

Resume normal updates after the May Day holiday.

(On holidays, accompany my wife and children to my mother's house in Wuhan to play, and prepare to use mobile phone code words.) As a result, I changed places, slept and codewords were very uncomfortable, and simply relaxed for two days. ）
