That year, Lu Changsheng had six out of twenty, and Zhou Dingyuan had six or seven out of thirty, and now, Lu Changsheng had five out of fifty, and Zhou Dingyuan was already sixty out of six or seven.

Moreover, because of the perennial war, when he is old, the accumulated dark wounds explode, and he looks even older.

"Lu Jieyuan, please take a seat."

Zhou Dingyuan got up and said.

As he grew older, the sharpness between his eyebrows disappeared a lot, or it was hidden deep in his heart.

At the moment, the attitude is more like the kind of official who is crawling and rolling in the officialdom.

As if seeing Lu Changsheng's emotions, Zhou Dingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Ten years ago, I retired from the army. ”

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

A famous general like Zhou Dingyuan, after retiring, is likely to enter the court, as a hub of communication between generals and emperors, and at the same time, also participate in the discussion of state affairs.

The so-called following the customs of the locals, the way of running officialdom is different from that on the battlefield.

If Zhou Dingyuan wants to make achievements in officialdom, he naturally has to be well versed in the rules of officialdom.

"It's a dog."

At this time, Zhou Dingyuan pulled a person next to him to the front.

"Don't call someone yet."

"I've seen Lu Jieyuan." Zhou Ding couldn't see any expression on his face.

A hint of gloom appeared on Zhou Dingyuan's face, but it was difficult to say anything at this time.

"Now that the world has changed greatly, I don't know what Lu Jieyuan's plans are?" After saying a few polite words, Zhou Dingyuan asked.

"It's not clear, let's talk about it when we go to the spirit world." Lu Changsheng said vaguely.

Speak deeply.

There is no friendship between him and Zhou Dingyuan, but he can barely be regarded as having some minor offences, but neither of them is a stingy person, so naturally they will not hold a grudge because of that little thing.

Hearing the faint sense of alienation in Lu Changsheng's words, Zhou Dingyuan was not surprised, he let the others go out, and only left his son here.

Then two boxes were taken out.

One was full of foreign objects, the other was filled with elixir.

"Over the years, I have asked people to collect a lot of foreign objects and elixirs, and it is estimated that the value should not be low, and today, I will give it to Lu Jieyuan, which can be regarded as those small knots back then."

Lu Changsheng was silent for a while, and at the same time, he was extremely emotional in his heart.

I thought I could monopolize most of the foreign bodies in the Great Yuan Realm, but I didn't expect that other people were not stupid, although they didn't know the specific role of foreign bodies, they also knew that scarcity is expensive.

After thinking about it, I can actually understand it.

Da Yuan has controlled this world for a long time, and there is also a connection with the spirit world, so it is probably impossible to say that he does not know the secrets of foreign objects.

Zhou Dingyuan, as a general who can sit on the ground with Zhu Qing, knows that these secrets are very normal.

But Lu Changsheng shook his head.

These things are very precious, at least worth dozens of spirit stones, and they are almost comparable to all of their net worth.

But it is useless, once you accept these things, then you will be favored by Zhou Dingyuan, if the other party has any requests next, it will be difficult to shirk.

Thinking of this, he suddenly shook his head and said: "General Zhou's words are serious, the original matter was just a trivial matter, if you don't mention it, I will forget it, so please take this thing back." ”

Zhou Dingyuan's expression froze for a moment, laughed, and said, "Lu Jieyuan is really magnificent, since this is the case, then I won't force it." ”

As if nothing had happened, the two chatted for a few words, and Lu Changsheng got up to say goodbye.

Waiting for the others to walk away, Zhou Ding's face suddenly showed displeasure.

"Why is my father so obsessed with letting me worship each other as a teacher? Although this person has some ability, he is far worse than Zhu Er Shangxian. ”

"I don't know if I'm a father, it's just that the Zhu'er Immortal is a person who has seen the world, and your spiritual root talent is too poor, even if you have a father, it will be difficult for the other party to accept you."

"But that's something to know."

Zhou Ding said.

This is also the reason why he has a lot of opinions about his father's arrangement.

If his father had mentioned this matter to Zhu Er and was rejected, and then approached Lu Changsheng, he would not have been so resistant.

Zhou Dingyuan's face was gloomy.

He naturally knew that Zhu Er was stronger, and he was originally going to behave well in this action to encircle and suppress evil cultivators, and then take this opportunity to ask Zhu Er to accept Zhou Ding as an apprentice, but when he saw Lu Changsheng's performance, he changed his mind.

"You don't know, this Lu Jieyuan is not as simple as it seems, Zhu Er Shangxian looks stronger at the moment, but I have an intuition that when he reaches the spirit world, Lu Jieyuan will definitely go further."

"One more thing, I heard that Lu Jieyuan is in the spirit world, and he also has a relationship with the immortal sect."

He had just learned about this from Huang Feng, so he finally decided to choose Lu Changsheng.

Hearing his son's words, Zhou Dingyuan felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

"Zhu Er Shangxian and Lu Xie Yuan are very human, if you know that you have found another person to apprentice and failed, then no matter who you are, they will not accept you again."

"If you find Zhu Er Shangxian first, Lu Jieyuan will definitely have some scruples, because in the future, if you can make any achievements, it is very likely that Zhu Er Shangxian will not like it, which is not a good thing for you or Lu Jieyuan. Besides, with my understanding of Lu Jieyuan, he himself is not very fond of causing trouble, and when the time comes, he will inevitably cut off Lu Jieyuan's path. ”

"If you find Lu Jieyuan first, it will be impossible for Zhu Er Shangxian to accept you again, after all, even Lu Jieyuan will confiscate it, and if he accepts it again, he will be suspected of picking up people's teeth."

Zhou Dingyuan patiently taught Zhou Ding.

I thought he could understand and introspect, but he didn't want to, but he said unhappily: "Then isn't it a good thing to find this Lu Jieyuan?" ”

"Shut up! Even Lu Jieyuan won't accept you, do you think with the knowledge of the Zhu'er Immortals, he will accept you? ”

Zhou Dingyuan also wanted to take advantage of Lu Changsheng's preoccupation and lack of knowledge, so he wanted to take advantage of it.

But he didn't want his son to hate Lu Jieyuan and cause trouble.

"Well, I see, Father!"

Zhou Ding said, but his expression was not a little serious.

······

When he returned to the courtyard, Lu Changsheng received bad news.

Teacher Hong Yuan is falling!

When Lu Changsheng arrived, he saw Ruyi Daogu sitting on a chair with a sad face, and the body of the teacher Hong Yuan was placed beside her, covered with a white cloth.

Shi En is like a mountain, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say to Ruyi Daogu: "Master Mother's Day mourning." ”

I don't want to, Ruyi Daogu looked at it very openly, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, before Lao Hong left, he told me that he was actually very lucky to be able to get to this point." ”

Lu Changsheng was silent.

Indeed it is.

The teacher, Hong Yuan, had participated in the siege and killing of the evil cultivators twice, but there was no damage.

Until this time.

"It's just three things!"

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart.

Previously, he also wanted Hong Yuan not to participate in this siege, but the latter couldn't bear it.

"After all, Lao Hong still has this Dayuan and the people in his heart, do you think he is a little stupid?"

Ruyi Daogu complained about the authenticity.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and maybe the teacher will feel more comfortable in his heart if he does this."

Lu Changsheng replied.

"He's comfortable, but he doesn't want to think, what should I do?"

"My teacher is like my father, my mother is my relative, and as long as the Lu family is still there in the future, I will be my mother's greatest support."

Ruyi Daogu was stunned for a moment, then her expression softened, she looked at Hong Yuan's body, and said sadly: "In his life, the most right thing he has done is to accept you as a protégé, but I don't have a few days to live, but I don't have to worry about Qingzhu, if you have the heart, you can help her when you can." ”

Lu Changsheng naturally responded.

Even if Ruyi Daogu doesn't say it, he can help as much as he can, but if it's beyond his ability, forget it.

Hong Yuan still has relatives, the evil cultivators retreated, and those relatives also came out of the secret room and looked for their master as soon as possible.

Knowing that Hong Yuan had fallen, the Hong family suddenly seemed to be like the sky was falling, and I heard that some people were resentful of Lu Changsheng because of this, and felt that if Lu Changsheng's current status wanted to protect Hong Yuan, how could he let Hong Yuan be killed by evil cultivators?

But after learning of this, Ruyi Daogu rushed to the Hongjia Mansion in Fucheng overnight, scolded those who chewed their tongues, and expelled them from Hongfu.

On the second day, he also brought someone over to apologize to Lu Changsheng.

Others don't know what happened, but Ruyi Daogu knows, plus she will have to rely on Lu Changsheng in the future, so naturally she can't hurt the friendship between the two families because of this matter.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng nodded secretly, Ruyi Dao Gu was originally alone, but now she is running around for the descendants of Hongfu, but she is also worthy of the teacher.

"Don't worry, I still don't care about this little thing."

He comforted Ruyi Daogu and said with a smile.

······

In the evening, Lu Changsheng was invited to the main courtyard.

Soon, I met Zhu Er.

Compared with last time, Zhu Er's expression at this time became more and more kind.

"Fortunately, Lu Daoyou was here yesterday, otherwise, my body bones would have been lost here."

If Zhu Er's smile before had a hint of falsehood, then at this moment, there was a little more sincerity.

The injuries on his body are not complete, dealing with five evil cultivators is the limit, and one more is likely to be dragged down.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng's action of killing an evil cultivator can be said to have broken the original disadvantage situation in an instant and helped him a lot.

"Zhu Er Daoyou praised it falsely."

After being polite, Lu Changsheng asked, "I don't know you, when can you set off from the spirit realm?" ”

"When the injuries on my body are healed, and then I take care of those evil cultivators, I will return to the spirit world."

"Then I'll wait for the good news from Zhu Er Daoyou."

Lu Changsheng said.

Then, Ju Er took out some loot.

"There are some things on the relics on that evil cultivator's body that can't be seen, so I made my own decision and folded them into spirit stones for Daoyou, what do Daoists think?"

Looking at Zhu Er with a smile on his face in front of him, Lu Changsheng felt a little unhappy in his heart, the other party's behavior of making decisions for himself was still a little bad, but considering the current situation, he still nodded and said with a smile: "It's all up to Daoist friends." ”

Lu Changsheng was so knowledgeable, which made Zhu Er very happy, and said, "I don't know what Lu Daoyou's plans are when he goes to the spirit world?" ”

Sending out the spirit stone, Zhu Er asked casually.

"When I got to the spirit world, I naturally went directly to my lady."

"Haha, this is natural, but, as far as I know, Fuyun Mountain is in another domain, and it is tens of thousands of miles away from the Guangnan region, it's not that I underestimate Daoist, with your strength, if you want to travel so far, it is very dangerous."

Lu Changsheng immediately understood that the other party wanted to give favors.

After thinking about it, there was no resistance.

The other party can lend a helping hand when they need it, and there is no need for them to stay high.

"I don't know what advice Zhu Er Daoyou has?"

Zhu Er showed a hint of a smile, "If you want to cross such a long road, do you need to at least have a strong cultivation, or you can only rely on external forces, when the time comes, I will help Daoist friends to ask how it is?" ”

"There is a friend of Lao Zhu'er, when you arrive at Fuyun Mountain, I will introduce my wife to you."

Lu Changsheng reciprocated the favor.

Multiple friends have multiple paths, even if it's just friends in terms of interests.

······

Coming out of the main courtyard, Lu Changsheng saw Sun Wu walking in with the empress and several innate martial artists.

"Lu Jieyuan!"

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Qing's face.

Lu Changsheng said hello, his gaze stayed on Sun Wu for a moment, and he didn't say much.

And Zhu Qing looked at Lu Changsheng's back, and then glanced at Sun Wu deeply, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Because she saw a trace of fear in Sun Wu's eyes.

"This person's mentality is much worse than that of Lu Xie Yuanlai."

She said to herself.

It's a pity that Lu Jieyuan's talent is too poor, if it weren't for the relationship between Fuyun Mountain, there would be no value worthy of deep friendship at all.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Changsheng opened a jade box, and dozens of spirit stones were placed in it.

In terms of color, it is similar to the spirit stone that he placed in the treasure house immortal worm.

"I actually gave so much, it seems that the value of that evil cultivator's relics is a little more than I expected."

He didn't believe that Zhu Er would spit out what he had in his hand.

"It's a pity, with my current strength and status, there is nothing I can do about it."

Far water can't dissolve near fire.

The other party will definitely not believe what he said, and when the time comes, when he returns to the spirit world, he will inevitably investigate.

Of course, Lu Changsheng was not worried, because of the fact that pumpkins were fighting iron in Fuyun Mountain.

······

In the following time, Lu Changsheng went to worship when Hong Yuan was buried, and then returned to the Alchemy Academy.

At this time, the Alchemy Courtyard was moved to another place, less than a hundred meters away from the main courtyard.

While refining the Biyun pill, Lu Changsheng cultivated by taking the body forging pill.

Although the speed of cultivation has slowed down a lot due to the lack of cultivation methods, it is still steadily improving.

Lu Changsheng estimated that it would not take ten years to cultivate the mana of the Six Reservoirs.

According to this progress, when he reaches the age of one hundred, he should be able to cultivate almost ten reservoirs of mana, and be honorably promoted to the scum of the second layer of qi training.

"It's still there, and my spiritual root talent can also improve over time."

He looked at the data panel.

The next stage of the spiritual root talent has been revealed, which is the inferior level of the D level.

"That is to say, in another fifty years, I will be able to barely reach a qualified D-level inferior spirit root, a hundred years D-level medium, and a hundred and fifty years, a D-level upper-grade."

"It's really boiling!"

Lu Changsheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but when he saw the few talents below, he felt a lot happier in his heart.

In particular, Dan Dao's talent has reached the inferior level of C.

Lu Changsheng knew that the C-level was already a good little genius in the Guangnan Region.

"Open the situation with Dan Dao talent, and then, find ways to prolong your life." He said in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.

At the beginning, the influence caused by the evil cultivation has subsided, and many people are wondering if it will go on like this, they have Zhu Er Shangxian and Black Snake Xie Yuan in charge, and the evil cultivation well water does not interfere with the river water.

No, on this day, the situation ushered in a change.

Zhu Er's injuries have recovered, and he intends to carry out a final encirclement and suppression of the evil cultivators.
