I am evergreen in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 73 Goodbye Qingxuan
The two sat down in the house, and Guan Qiaozhi served tea and water cleverly.

"Master Lu Fu lives in seclusion in the city, raising turtles and growing grass, life is leisurely."

Mu Maode took off his bamboo hat, glanced at the pretty and delicate Guan Qiaozhi, feeling inexplicably depressed and melancholy.

"Senior Mu praised you, Lu is just a casual cultivator with a little clumsy skills, so he can't bear the name of a hermit."

Lu Changan said humbly.

The two drank spiritual tea and chatted for a while.

Many years ago, Mu Maode took a back seat in the second line of the family, and the position of Patriarch was handed over to a young and vigorous Qi Refining Ninth Level.

"Senior Mu, if you have any orders, you can send them a letter, and you don't have to come in person."

Lu Changan guessed that there must be something wrong with Mu Maode's visit this time.

"Master Lu, I have something to ask you from the Mu family."

Mu Maode put away his emotions, his tone was solemn, and his posture was relatively low.

"beg me?"

Lu Changan asked himself, what can he do for the Mu family as a weakling at the ninth level of Qi refining?
"The Mu family needs a favor from you."

Hearing this, Lu Changan guessed Mu Maode's intention for coming.

In the past few years, Fengye Huang's family and Mu's family have gradually clashed, and the younger generation has suffered casualties from each other.

Overtly and secretly, the Huang family took action to suppress the Mu family's property, planted blame and provoke trouble, and escalated the conflict.

The Mu family tried their best to be patient.

However, the purpose of the Huang family is to annex the Mu family, and it is inevitable.

Sooner or later, the two clans will start a war.

In the surrounding area, the only powerful cultivating force that has taken care of the Mu family is the Zhou family.

"Zhou Qingxuan", the beast-control genius of the Zhou family, owes Lu Changan a favor.

Over the past few years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a foundation cultivator and occupies a place in the Beast Master Zhou's family.

"Senior Mu, Zhou Qingxuan in her teenage years really owed a certain favor to Lu. But after all these years, Zhou Qingxuan has become a senior foundation-builder, so she may not necessarily admit the childish words in her early years."

"It would be unrealistic for me to join forces to persuade Zhou Qingxuan."

Lu Changan said methodically.

It is understandable to waste a favor to help the Mu family of Feiyue Lake.

But he does not want to directly intervene in the dispute between the two races and be in the whirlpool.

Mu Maode smiled wryly and said: "Of course, this old man knows that a petty favor in the early years could hardly affect the decision-making of the Zhou family's senior management. Now, the conflict between the Beastmaster Zhou family and the Wanjian Zhuo family has escalated, and there is no spare energy to take care of us."

"The purpose of contacting you this time is not to persuade the Zhou family to protect you."

His tone was a little slow, and he explained the reason:

"We want to buy a Tier [-] spirit beast from the Zhou family in private. We don't expect a Tier [-] spirit beast in its prime, and we can accept old and weak Tier [-] spirit beasts with a short lifespan."

After listening, Lu Changan pondered: "If it's just a private match, you can try it. But I don't guarantee success, and I won't participate in specific transactions."

"Master Lu Fu only needs to contact Zhou Qingxuan in private to facilitate this transaction. Whether or not it succeeds, this is the intention of the Mu family."

Mu Maode squeezed out a smile on his age-spotted face, and handed him a bag containing spirit stones.

Looking at the nearly [-]-year-old old man.

Lu Chang'an came from a family in his previous life, so he understands the sadness and hardship involved.

The Xiuxian family is maintained by blood and family.

When you were born in the clan, received cultivation from an early age, cultivated immortals and learned arts, married wives and concubines, your children and grandchildren will spread branches and leaves in this land, and pour your heart and soul into it all your life.

This is a family monk!
We are firmly bound together with the family, and the fetters last a lifetime.

"Lu was once a member of Mu's family, and he just wanted to help out with a word. This bag of spirit stones is unnecessary."

Lu Chang'an repeatedly declined, not asking for the spirit stone.

Mu Maode was very relieved, although Lu Changan left the Mu family, but he did not misunderstand the person back then.

At least not the heartless generation.

"Huanglong Immortal City recently held a large-scale auction house. Zhou Qingxuan, on behalf of the Beast Master Zhou family, is going to sell a batch of spirit beasts and their cubs."

"She is currently staying at the Zhou family's residence in the inner city. You should contact her privately. If the old man goes there, I'm afraid it will alert the Huang family."

Mu Maud explained the situation.

He has retired to the second line in the Mu family for many years, his lifespan is nearing the end of his life, his body is depleted, and he is not valued by the Huang family.

It would be different if she showed up at the Zhou family residence.

"Senior Mu, please be careful."

The two discussed some details, Mu Maode put on the bamboo hat, got up and left Shuiyueju.

……

Lu Changan did not rush into action.

He bathed and burned incense in the house, and used potions to remove the scent of spiritual pets on his body.

Zhou Qingxuan is very talented in controlling beasts, and she was taught by Lu Changan when she was a young girl.

According to common sense, this woman can at most judge what kind of spirit beast has been raised through her sense of smell, and it is difficult to determine the actual cultivation level of the Xuanshui turtle.

But also have to guard.

The secrets and risks in the world of cultivating immortals are relative terms.

If Lu Changan was a foundation-builder, the growth of the Xuanshui Turtle was a bit abnormal, so it wasn't a big problem.

The Beast Master Zhou's family has a lot of secrets about cultivating spirit beasts, so why are they afraid of being coveted by others?

If it is Yuanying Zhenjun, the secret of Changqing Gong is not worried about being exposed.

……

Two days later.

Lu Chang'an left Xuanshuigui in another courtyard and let Guan Qiaozhi take care of it.

Alone, he entered the bustling area of ​​the inner city.

Spiritual consciousness probed the surroundings and confirmed that no one was following.

Lu Changan disguised himself in the inn, adjusted his muscles and bones through body training formulas, and turned himself into a young man in brocade clothes

And adjust the breath through the Evergreen Kung Fu.

Experienced people may be able to see through the disguise, but they cannot see the real appearance.

Half an hour later, Lu Changan arrived at the Zhou family's residence.

The monks on the ninth floor of Qi Refining and the guards at the Zhou family's residence cannot be ignored.

"My surname is Lu, and I used to be acquainted with the noble elder Zhou Qingxuan. Please help spread the report. This is a token."

Lu Changan took out an envelope, matched it with five spirit stones, and handed it to the gatekeeper monk.

Inside the envelope, there is a top-grade talisman of "Frost's Fall".

Wait for a while.

"But Mr. Lu? My master called you in."

A maid from the Zhou family came out and brought Lu Changan into the garrison.

The Zhou family's residence is a big mansion, and it is no problem to accommodate hundreds of people.

Not long after, they came to a small quiet courtyard.

The maid invited Lu Changan to enter the house.

This is a quiet room, with the scent of sandalwood, accompanied by the fragrance of a woman like a lotus.

A girl in a yellow skirt with a beautiful face was sitting cross-legged on the futon above.

I haven't seen her for more than twenty years, Zhou Qingxuan is still youthful, her appearance and temperament are better than before, she is less playful and cunning, and more dignified and bright.

"Junior Lu Changan, I met Senior Zhou."

After Lu Changan entered the room, he bowed and lifted his disguise in advance, otherwise he would appear disrespectful.

"Lu Chang'an? I remember you, a tortoise talisman master."

Zhou Qingxuan chuckled, revealing a narrow expression, breaking the dignified demeanor.

Lu Chang'an felt strange: this woman's temperament has not changed much, she probably forgot her name, and she still relies on "Turtle Talisman" to associate her memories.

"Senior Zhou still remembers me, Lu is so honored!"

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Ignoring Lu Changan's compliment, Zhou Qingxuan's tone was flat, without any meaning of reminiscing about the past.

Lu Changan was not surprised at all.

If he was an elder who established the foundation, he would not be interested in chatting with the junior Qi Refining.

"Senior Huizhou, Feiyue Lake's Mu family wants to buy a second-order spirit beast from nobles in private, and they can accept old and weak second-order spirit beasts with a short lifespan."

When facing a high-status monk, you must cut straight to the point and be concise.

"A second-order spirit beast?"

Zhou Qingxuan sneered, "Every second-order spirit beast is the foundation of the Zhou family, not to mention that our family is confronting the Wan Jianzhuo family and needs combat strength."

"Lu Changan, do you dare to say this?"
