Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

Chapter 161 Take the first step! (Please subscribe!)
"What kind of shitty luck does this cow have?"

In the end, Zhu Mei stopped making trouble and just said bitterly.

On the other side, Zhu Zhen took a deep look at Niu Xi, and then smiled, "There is indeed something I need to trouble you with. Didn't you have a good relationship with Master Lu before? Because of some things, Zhu Er and The relationship between Alchemist Lu and Master Lu has become a bit estranged, so I still need your help to resolve this conflict."

Niu Xi was stunned for a moment, not understanding who this Master Lu was.

But he didn't think about Lu Changsheng.

Although Lu Changsheng had some alchemy skills, there was always a big gap between practical practice and theory. Besides, even if he passed the examination, it would not be possible for the Zhu family to value him so much.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw his expression of shock, which didn't seem like he was being fake.

Could it be that the relationship between them is not as good as imagined?

No matter what, the main thing is that there is a relationship.

Thinking of this, he suggested: "Master Lu Changsheng, Alchemist Lu!"

"This--"

Niu Xi suddenly showed a look of shock, "He...he became an alchemist?"

"Yes! And he is not an ordinary disciple, but a disciple rated as C-level!"

When Niu Xi heard this, he suddenly felt confused.

This news had a big impact on him, and immediately, his heart felt cold again.

It turns out that's the case. No wonder the clan elders and clan leaders' attitudes towards him have changed so much.

Niu Xi understood clearly and lowered his head to prevent the senior Zhu family members in front of him from seeing his unhappy expression.

"I have approved the position of manager of Baize Medicine Garden for you. As long as you can let Master Lu make alchemy for our Zhu family, the position there will always be reserved for you, as well as your two sons. Once this is done, thing, we’ll let you live with them.”

Niu Xi's heart skipped a beat and nodded, gaining a new understanding of Lu Changsheng and a hint of admiration.

"I didn't expect that the person who was having a harder time than me a few days ago would suddenly shake his head and become a big shot."

The evaluation of Baiyundongfu C is that the future is limitless.

Now that this matter has been exposed, it is natural to overcome Lu Changsheng's level sooner rather than later.

Lest as time goes by, the friendship will fade.

Although Niu Xi felt chilled, he also knew that he could not live without the Zhu family now.

Leaving without authorization will undoubtedly put yourself on the opposite side of the Zhu family. When the time comes, you will inevitably die on the streets.

Therefore, he could only pack up and rush to Baijing Fairy City overnight.

A few days later, Niu Xi stood in front of the restaurant where Lu Changsheng lived before. He inquired with the manager of the restaurant and learned that Lu Changsheng had checked out a few days ago. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.

In desperation, I could only raise the gift and go to Baiyun Pharmacy to hand over the greeting card.

"Are you looking for Alchemist Lu? Just wait." The female monk from Baiyun Medicine Shop was wearing simple clothes, her long hair was tucked back, and she looked neat and tidy.

Niu Xi felt angry.

As the saying goes, there are nine officials in front of the immortal.

The female cultivator in front of me is not only good-looking, but her cultivation level has barely reached the first level of Qi training. She would not dare to talk to him like this if she was left outside, but she would not look at the face of the Buddha or the face of the monk.

The sign of Baiyun Cave Mansion is here. Unless he wants to flee to the end of the world, otherwise, he will never dare to show off with this person.

Moreover, there are still people to ask for.

After that, he took a step forward and stuffed a few spiritual stones into his body.

"I would also like to ask fellow Taoist to be considerate. Master Lu Alchemy and I have some friendship. If the notice comes, I will definitely say a few more good words for fellow Taoist Lu in front of fellow Taoist Lu."

The female cultivator smiled, put away the spirit stone without any trace, and said: "I am not a Taoist friend. In the past two days, there have been many people looking for Alchemist Lu, and they all used these words. However, I have seen Taoist priests. My friend has a good eye, so I will pass on the message to you."

"Thank you."

Niu Xi cupped his hands and said.

The female cultivator who dares to do this is naturally not without confidence. First of all, the interpersonal relationships in Baiyun Pharmacy are complicated, especially if the female cultivator enters here because of her beauty, there may be an alchemy knight behind her.

It's just a message or something, it's not a big deal at all.

The most important thing is that Niu Xi doesn't want to make this matter a big deal and embarrass Lu Changsheng.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the female cultivator came out, shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, Master Lu is not here now."

"Do you know where you went?" Niu Xi asked quickly.

The female cultivator immediately put on a serious face and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are trying to harm me. Don't say that I don't know about this. Even if I know, I can't tell you."

Seeing the other party walk away angrily, Niu Xi also came to his senses and cursed secretly that he deserved it.

Master Alchemist has always been wealthy, so he pays more attention to his whereabouts than many monks. If someone interested in him hears about his whereabouts, and something happens to Master Lu, he will definitely have a grudge against Master Lu.

In desperation, Niu Xi could only wait here.

On the other side, after Lu Changsheng left Baiyun Drug Store, he went to the Qu family's shop and found Lu Changan.

Seeing his father, Lu Changan suddenly showed a hint of nervousness.

"Father, your assessment——"

"It's passed." Lu Changsheng smiled.

"Great, this way, we won't have to be so difficult in the future." Lu Changan's hands were shaking with excitement.

He was actually pretty good, but Lu Ziyou was having a hard time.

During this period, the two brothers worked almost desperately to earn spiritual stones for Lu Changsheng to refine elixirs.

Although the rent in Xiaofang City is not high, there are still a few low-grade spiritual stones every month, which, together with daily expenses, is also a large expense.

The most important thing is Lu Changsheng's alchemy.

If they hadn't had blind confidence in their father, it would have been impossible to support him so fully.

Fortunately, now that the dust has settled, everything will be fine.

Lu Changsheng smiled and patted Chang An on the shoulder and said, "Ziyou is still over there in Xiaofang City. I can't get away now, so you can only go and pick him up."

Lu Changan nodded.

He has a clear mind and can understand his father's concerns with just a moment's thought.

Although he has passed the assessment of Baiyun Cave Mansion, in fact, he is still a monk at the first level of Qi training. In Baijing Immortal City, there are rules set by Taixuan Sect, and no one dares to take action easily, but if he leaves Taixuan Sect, Everything is hard to say.

If something happens to Lu Changsheng, no one can save them. If something happens to him, Lu Changsheng will be the one to take the blame.

Lu Changan is a sensible person, so he strongly agrees with this arrangement.

"I'll tell Qu Yan."

Lu Changan said.

Lu Changsheng said: "I should tell her, but by the way, let's also tell her what I have done in the assessment."

Lu Changan looked at him in confusion, not understanding his intentions.

"Since I already have a heel, using your mother as a shield before is always a bit risky. If my prediction is correct, then the Qu family must have been trying to find out about your mother these days. If we wait for them to go first If conflicts are stirred up, it will inevitably embarrass everyone, and we may have an additional enemy."

"Now that this matter is clear, it doesn't matter what happens to your mother. The Qu family will still treat us with the same attitude as before, and it is possible for those two families to become friends."

"What the father said is that the child is educated."

Lu Changan said solemnly.

Sometimes, if a misunderstanding is not handled well, an originally good thing will turn into a bad thing. Lu Changan's method can be said to be a precautionary measure.

Sure enough, Lu Changsheng's arrangement quickly bore fruit.Just as he had guessed, after the Qu family's mother and daughter separated from Lu Changsheng a few days ago, they asked someone to inquire about it.

However, Fuyun Mountain is too far away from here, and it will take some time to find out the real situation.

But while inquiring about this matter, Qu Yan's mother Wan Yu got some unexpected news.

"Is this true or false?"

"I don't know. I just mentioned it when I heard people from the Zhu family chatting about it. However, it is probably because it involves some secrets of their family, so they didn't say much to me."

A Qu family monk replied.

The Qu family is also quite powerful in Baijing Fairy City.

The ancestor of the Qu family is a monk in the late stage of Qi training. He is also a powerful figure in Baijing Immortal City. Although he cannot compare with the big forces such as the Gu family and Baiyundong Mansion, he is still prestigious.

"If we continue to seek confirmation, we can still afford to wait for this time." Wan Yu said in a deep voice.

When they left, her face became a little solemn.

The Qu family has a great business. As the backbone of the Qu family, it is naturally impossible for the ancestor Qu Jiang to have only one concubine.

Each concubine almost represents a small group.

For example, behind her, the group headed by the Wan family relied on the power of the ancestors of the Qu family to survive.

Whichever side the ancestor prefers more will have greater leverage.

But at the age that the ancestor is now, beauty and beauty no longer tempt him much, and it will ultimately fall on his cultivation.

This was also the reason why she was still thinking about it and wanted to add some heels to her lineage.

Originally, she didn't put her hope in Qu Yan, she just thought that Qu Yan had a crush on the male cultivator and wanted to have some fun with him.

Unexpectedly, when I tried to dig out the opponent's heels, I found a surprise.

Fuyun Mountain is a more powerful force than Taixuan Sect. If you can establish a relationship with the disciples of Fuyun Mountain, it will be of great benefit to the ancestor.

Therefore, she just took the initiative and turned a game into a marriage.

But the change of things surprised her.

"I hope this news is not true, otherwise——"

Wan Yu's face turned cold.

As the concubine of an ancestor who was in the late stage of Qi training, she would naturally not allow an ordinary monk to deceive her.

It will be liquidated at that time.

Time passed quickly. Because he kept it in mind, Wan Yu no longer wanted to wait for news from Fuyun Mountain, but instead set his sights on the Zhu family.

When Lu Changsheng met Lu Changan, she gradually confirmed the truth of the news from various sources, and her face became colder and colder.

"It's true that those who don't know are not afraid."

Wan Yu went out, called a few family monks, and rushed to Fangshi shop angrily to capture Lu Changan first.

I didn't expect to meet Lu Changsheng as soon as I arrived at the store.

"Mrs. Qu? What a coincidence!" Lu Changsheng glanced slightly and guessed that Pumpkin was exposed in Fuyun Mountain, so he planned to take a preemptive strike and said with a smile: "I just asked Changan to find Miss Qu Yan and asked him to invite you over. Attending my alchemist’s banquet.”

The menacing Wan Yu was stunned for a moment, and did not understand the words for a while. Fortunately, Lu Changsheng quickly added: "I'm sorry, I just passed the alchemist examination of Baiyun Cave Mansion today."

Wan Yu and several tribesmen behind him were startled.

"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, it turns out that fellow Taoist has such talent, it really shocked me!"

Wan Yu's expression quickly changed a few times, and he put on a friendly smile. He walked up to Lu Changsheng calmly, showing a bit of blame.

"Fellow Taoist didn't tell me in advance when he came here. No, he didn't make any preparations. He was neglecting fellow Taoist." As he said that, he took out the tea leaves from the cabinet behind him. After realizing that the tea leaves here were all ordinary teas, he added He put it back, opened his treasure house of fairy insects, and took out a pack of spiritual tea filled with white mist.

Lu Changsheng smiled and did not continue.

Now that the matter of becoming an alchemist has come to light, I believe that the other party will definitely have some scruples and will seek confirmation later.

There is no need to make it clear at this time.

Soon, Lu Changan and Qu Yan returned to the store.

At one glance, I could see the group of people enjoying themselves, and I couldn't help but admire Lu Changsheng even more.

He was not an ordinary person, so he knew that the monks with stiff smiles sitting behind Wan Yu would be passing by.

"My father is experienced in dealing with things and there is still a lot for me to learn." Lu Changan thought.

There is no imaginary tension, only harmony.

Wan Yu acted as if he didn't know anything about Li Guanquan, and had a good chat with Lu Changsheng throughout the whole process.

However, there was no mention of Qu Yan and Lu Changan's marriage.

Lu Changsheng understood that Wan Yu wanted to prove that he became an alchemist after returning, so he didn't care.

······
Separating from Qu Yan and others, Lu Changan set off back to Xiaohan Gufang City.

Lu Changsheng packed up his things and moved to the courtyard of Baiyun Pharmacy.

"The situation over at Pumpkin is not good, so we must be careful about management here!"

Walking on the jade-paved corridor, there are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants around, and there are even white cranes dancing in some garden areas.

It's no worse than Master Lu's Yazhu Garden.

This is just the Baiyun Medicine Shop, but as the real mountain gate of Baiyun Cave, the mountain peak is so stunning.

It can also be seen from this that the alchemist is indeed a master who is not short of money.

In this way, Lu Changsheng settled down in Baiyun Pharmacy.

······
The next day, Manager Mo came and mentioned the initiation ceremony.

Lu Changsheng immediately tidied up, put on Baiyun Alchemy Master's uniform, and left Yun'an Courtyard with Manager Mo, heading for the mountain gate.

The pick-up person was changed halfway through.

The other party was a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, responsible for the reception. After Manager Mo stated Lu Changsheng's information, the monk looked at Lu Changsheng in shock and said, "Fellow Taoist, is that Lu Changsheng?"

"Exactly!"

"It's a pity. Compared to your cultivation level, your bone age seems a bit old."

There was a glimmer of magical power in the monk's eyes, and he should have opened his magical eyes.

Lu Changsheng's heart sank slightly.

When using Dharma Eyes in front of someone, there is a suspicion of peeping, and the person actually despises himself a bit.

"Fellow Daoist Wisdom Eye!"

Lu Changsheng watched as the monk took out a piece of talisman paper with a mysterious pattern drawn on it.

It's a sword talisman.

The monk said no more, and a ray of mana was poured into the talisman paper. The next moment, the talisman paper's light increased greatly, revealing the shadow of a foot-long giant sword.

"Step on it and it will lead you to the door."

Lu Changsheng jumped up as instructed, and the next moment, the sword shot through the air like a white rainbow and disappeared from the spot.

"In the middle stage of Qi training, you can control these methods. It's really amazing!"

Seeing the scenery below passing by under his feet, Lu Changsheng's heart surged, and he also had infinite yearning for the middle stage of Qi training.
