As far as the eye can see, the Lu Mansion is quite majestic, and the main building is made up of huge bluestones several zhang high, which is dozens of zhang high.

There are also many dense and other low-rise buildings built around, among which people come and go, but it is also quite lively, and it seems to vaguely constitute a castle.

Outside the Lu Mansion, there was a high wall made of black stones, and at the gate stood two guards dressed in cyan suits.

Under the leadership of Lu Youfeng, Lu Xu and the others entered the gate of the Lu Mansion without any hindrance, and after turning around, they came to an elegant courtyard next to the main hall.

In front of the courtyard door, there is a cyan stone, on which are written "Hanmei Yaju" four lacquered gold characters.

"This is the place where my Lu family entertains distinguished guests, and the two Taoist friends will take a break and taste the spiritual fruit of my Lu family. “

After Lu Youfeng led the two to an elegantly arranged stone pavilion, he clapped his hands.

In a short time, two handsome maids offered a pot of fragrant tea and a plate of crystal clear fruit. Then he summoned a young man who looked like an attendant, and gave him a few soft orders to leave first.

Lu Xu and the others drank tea in the pavilion, and chatted with Lu Youfeng for a while about some special customs.

Lu Xu listened to Wei Luyou's strange stories like a river, and under his witty words, he didn't feel bored, while eating the fruit on the plate.

It is said that this is called the "jade fruit" spirit fruit, not only strange fragrance, open the peel and look at it, but see that the flesh inside is crystal colored, as if transparent, people will be mouthful at a glance.

After half a cup of tea.

"Haha, Chief Friend Peak, I heard that today you invited two Dao friends who have cultivated extraordinary. The patriarch is not at home, so I have to come and see him first. A hearty laugh came from outside the courtyard, and a black figure flashed at the door, and a middle-aged man had already appeared in front of several people.

"Second Elder. Lu Youfeng hurriedly stood up.

Lu Xu hurriedly looked at the person with a moving expression, and saw that the middle-aged man was dressed in a black robe, very tall, with a Chinese face, and a rather heroic appearance, at first glance, he was a person who had been in the top position for a long time.

But listening to Lu Youfeng's name for him, this person is the second elder of the Lu family, a figure who cultivated in the middle of the foundation building period.

As soon as the middle-aged man walked into the three of them, there was a thick and mountain-like breath coming to his face. It was as if there was not a person standing in front of him, but a majestic hill, and at first glance, it was a matter of cultivating a certain special technique that would give people such a strange feeling.

"Second Elder, these two are Daoyou Lu Xu and his Daoist companion Zhang Daoyou. Lu Youfeng introduced with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, fortunately. Lu Xu naturally stood up, and also clenched his fists at the middle-aged man and said.

"Haha, the two Taoist friends don't need to be so polite, in Xia Lu Kaiyun, they are the second elders of the Lu family. The middle-aged man laughed.

Then the four of them sat down in different places, and naturally someone offered tea.

After a few people were polite and informed each other of their names, Lu Youfeng also roughly explained how he met Lu Xu and the others.

Lu Kaiyun's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face: "In this way, the two Daoists have come to the Antarctic Domain for the first time. In this case, Lu Mou is not going around in circles, Manager Youfeng should have already mentioned to the two of you, my Lu family is currently looking for talents, can you two be interested in joining the Lu family as guest secretaries?"

Lu Xu's heart moved when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but Lu Kaiyun waved his hand and said:

"Don't be too busy refusing two of you, let me say a few more words before making a decision. There are only two points that Lu wants to emphasize. First, my Lu family also has a certain status among the hundreds of miles of this Great Liang City, and becoming a guest can not only get a spiritual vein cave mansion belonging to the Lu family as a place for cultivation, but also get a lot of cultivation resources every month. Second, compared with other family forces, my Lu family has very few restrictions on Keqing who do not hold specific positions. If you are not satisfied, you can even withdraw at any time, as long as you promise not to join the hostile forces of my Lu family again, and there will be no future trouble. The two of you might as well stay in the Lu family for a year and a half now, if you are not used to it, you can leave at any time, and no one will stop you for half a minute. “

Seeing this, Lu Xu groaned for a moment before he asked again:

"The conditions offered by your mansion are indeed generous, but I would like to ask, if the Lu family fights with hostile forces, does Keqing have to participate in it?"

Lu Kaiyun was stunned at first when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "

If my Lu family really encounters something that really needs two people to take action, the two of them can agree at their own discretion or not, my Lu family will never force it, but if I am willing to contribute, I will thank you again afterwards!"

When Lu Xu heard this, he finally showed a hint of satisfaction, so he nodded and said, "In this case, the two of us can agree to join the Lu family temporarily and become guest secretaries." ”

Lu Kaiyun's face was overjoyed when he heard this.

After all, Lu Youfeng had already told him that he should pay special attention to Lu Xu, which would be helpful to the Lu family's major event in the future, as for the other female monk, it was ordinary.

As for Lu Xu and the others, the two of them have just come to Tianyun Country in the Antarctic Domain, which they are not familiar with, and the most important thing now is to familiarize themselves with the situation here as soon as possible, and recover their mana, and then make follow-up plans.

As for the so-called ten major forces of Tianyun Country, they must not be able to enter easily. As for other small and medium-sized forces, when the two of them are not familiar with each other, they naturally cannot easily be restrained by some constraints and put themselves in the middle of the right and wrong of the power struggle.

In the following time, Lu Kaiyun introduced the specific treatment of Keqing to the two of them.

This Lu family's guest secretary is also high and low, he can become a senior guest elder at the beginning of the foundation building period, and Lu Xu is a cultivator in the late stage of the qi refining period, so naturally he can only become an ordinary guest elder.

The treatment of ordinary guests is also quite high, and they can receive more than 100 spirit stones every month, although Lu Xu also has hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on his body, but who will have too many spirit stones, anyway, Lu Xu will not stay for long.

In addition, the Lu family's promise to assign an independent cave mansion to each guest elder was built on the Lu family's underground spiritual vein, and the entire Lu Mansion was also built on the spiritual vein.

It is said that in addition to having a meditation room for cultivation, the cave also comes with an acre of large medicine kamata, and the closer the cave is to the center of the spiritual vein, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes. As Lu Xu and the two Keqing elders, the cave should be in a good position.

After the introduction, Lu Kaiyun asked Lu Youfeng to take Lu Xu and the others to go through the procedures for joining the Lu family and choosing a cave mansion.

Lu Youfeng naturally obeyed the order, so he and Lu Xu left the stone pavilion first. ‘

An hour later, the two of them were in a certain hall and chose the cave house.

Although Lu Xu does not have high requirements for the aura of the cave, for the sake of Zhang Zhenniang, he also has to choose a one with a strong aura.

In this regard, the deacon in charge of this matter seemed to have received the advice of the second elder in advance, and readily agreed.

To the surprise of the two, the Lu family also considerately matched them with two young and beautiful maids to serve their daily life.

Of course, these maids are not immortal cultivators, just mortals.

Lu Xu thought about it, it was not bad to have someone to serve Zhang Zhenniang, so he didn't excuse himself.

Not long after, Lu Xu pulled Zhang Zhenniang and landed in front of a cave in Lu Mansion, opened the door with a forbidden token, and walked in directly.

The whole cave is not small, it is the size of several acres, and it has all the facilities such as medicine shops and secret rooms, and the aura of heaven and earth here is quite condensed, which is very suitable for cultivation.

Lu Xu was satisfied, and immediately sent the subordinates who led the way, and after instructing the two maids a few words, he directly pulled Zhang Zhenniang into the cultivation secret room and closed the stone door.

This secret room is not big, only seven or eight zhang in size, and the furnishings are quite simple, except for a few pale yellow futons and a large white bed, there is nothing left.

Lu Xu was also satisfied with all this arrangement, and after slightly checking the cyan spirit patterns on the stone walls and ground around him, and making sure that they were just some ordinary defensive partition prohibitions, he was relieved, and pulled Zhang Zhenniang to sit cross-legged on the futon.

Immediately, with a flick of Lu Xu's sleeves, several array flags flew out one by one and were neatly inserted on the ground in the corners of the surrounding corners, forming a layer of golden light curtains, completely isolating everything in the secret room from the outside world.

After arranging the Tianmen Golden Lock Array, Lu Xu sat cross-legged with Zhang Xiuniang with confidence, while breathing and breathing, absorbing the external aura into the body to restore the mana, and at the same time transporting the soul power, while starting to check the situation in the body.

The last time he was sucked into the spatial crack in that terrifying black mist, he lost his cultivation. This time, I returned to the world of all souls through the spatial rift, and I don't know if it has any effect.

Along the way, Lu Xu has never had the opportunity to check it out.

When his soul power swept through his body, his face was relieved, but fortunately this time it didn't happen like last time.

Immediately, he took Zhang Zhenniang's hand again, and used his soul power to penetrate into her body, knowing that he was sure that she was okay before he was really relieved.

......

And at this moment, the Lu family recently received two more Haqing elders, and soon it spread in Daliang City, not only some other forces, but even some Haqing of the Lu family began to secretly inquire about the situation of Lu and Zhang.

However, as soon as these two new guests entered the cave mansion, they immediately began to retreat, which disappointed some people who were interested in getting acquainted.

Lu Xu naturally didn't know anything about these things, and was immersed in cultivation and recovery.

As the saying goes, there are no years for cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During this period of time, Lu Xu really didn't take a step out of the cave mansion and devoted himself to retreat and cultivate. And Zhang Zhenniang is as long as she is with Lu Xu, it doesn't matter what happens, and naturally she won't go out.

And the two maids didn't dare to disturb him for half a minute, but just planted a batch of seemingly ordinary but commonly used herbs in the medicine field according to his instructions.

this day.

In the secret room, Lu Xu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and a layer of gray light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, which suddenly spread out, wrapping his entire body. After a while, the surrounding objects seemed to be pulled by the suction of this gray halo.

With a thought in his mind, the gray halo that enveloped his whole body sank into his body like a whale sucking water, and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Xu put away the law at this time, and after shaking his hands hard, there was immediately a dense sound like firecrackers, and when he felt the huge force coming out of his body, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

It wasn't until today that he completely stabilized the first layer of the Yuan Magnetic Hegemon, and then as long as he refined the Yuan Magnetic Star Stone into an elixir to take, he could steadily raise the Yuan Magnetic Hegemon to the second layer, and his defense power would be greatly increased.

And in these three months, he also relied on the pill to raise his cultivation to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and he was only one step away from being able to ascend to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, which was not far from resuming the cultivation of the Foundation Building Period. And Zhang Zhenniang also raised her cultivation to the fifth layer of the foundation building period with the assistance of Lu Xu's pill, and then Lu Xu taught her the refining technique, so that she could purify the mana in her body in order to increase the probability of building a foundation. There are also nearly ten Zhuji Dan in his storage bag, with Zhang Zhenniang's spiritual root qualification, as long as the mana is pure, the foundation building can be said to be nine out of ten.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Xu immediately shook his sleeves, and as soon as he collected the array flags of the surrounding Heavenly Gate Golden Lock Array, he stood up and walked out of the secret room with Zhang Zhenniang.
