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

"Although he has cut off our path, after all, he has C-level potential and is still worth making friends with."

After a long while, Zhu Zhen took out a breath and said.

"Besides, as long as this hole exists, it may not be possible to slowly overcome it in the future."

People can change.

They can start with Lu Changsheng's family members, and when the opportunity comes, Lu Changsheng will find it hard to refuse if they bring it up again.

"The patriarch is absolutely right, but I heard a news that Lu Changsheng seems to be in conflict with the Thunder Alchemist."

Zhu Ding said suddenly.

Immediately he told the news he had heard.

After hearing this, many elders of the Zhu family fell silent.

Lei Dan Master is a senior first-grade alchemist, and he also has a C-level evaluation. Of course, for them, this C-level is almost at the end, and the chance of becoming a second-grade alchemist is very slim.

If it were just the Thunder Alchemist, they wouldn't have to worry too much, but behind the Thunder Alchemist was Zhou Lin, Alchemist Zhou.

The new alchemist who can get a low-level evaluation has a bright future. Even Master Baiyun said: As long as there are no surprises, he will definitely become a second-level foundation-building level alchemist.

The Zhu family finally established this relationship, and they must not abandon it because of Lu Changsheng.

"That's all."

Zhu Zhen was also decisive and directly called Niu Xi in and took back the gift originally intended for Lu Changsheng.

Even the position of manager of Baize Medicine Garden was removed.

······
Lu Changsheng knew nothing about this. Within two days of meeting Niu Xi, he welcomed two brothers, Lu Changan and Lu Ziyou.

"My father is rich now, so he sold those things cheaply to other fellow Taoists in Xiaohangufang City."

The two brothers brought nothing with them.

A journey of tens of miles without the help of Lu Changsheng, a qi-training monk, would be very difficult to move a relatively heavy instrument like an alchemy furnace, which would greatly affect the speed of the journey.

Therefore, Lu Changan took it upon himself to sell all the heavier items.

In addition to the two brothers, there are also some neighbors from Xiaohan Valley.

And, the owner of Xiaohan Valley, a monk in the late stage of Qi training.

"I met fellow Daoist Lu in Beiming, Xiaohan Valley."

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Beiming. I'm glad to meet you." Lu Changsheng said quickly.

This place is not far from Baiyun Pharmacy, so he is not worried that Beiming will take action against him.

If it were in Xiaohan Valley, I wouldn't dare to say it.

As they both wear shoes, Bei Ming's soles are obviously thicker than Lu Changsheng's, so it is impossible for him to risk offending Baiyun Cave Mansion because of someone who has just passed the assessment.

"Haha, I didn't expect that a capable Taoist friend would emerge from my Xiaohan Valley. If there is any need in the future, please don't shirk it."

Lu Changsheng naturally agreed.

The other party was obviously speaking politely, so there was no need to take it seriously.

Sure enough, after Bei Ming led the team away, Lu Changan said that Bei Ming had come with them because he had other important matters.

It's unclear what exactly it is.

"It seems that many late-stage qi-training monks have rushed here recently." Lu Changan said.

He had a lot on his mind and asked for a lot of information on the way here, many of which Lu Changsheng had never heard of.

"I will inquire with the teacher about this matter. You go back to Baiyun Pharmacy with me first and settle down."

"Everything is done according to father's instructions."

Lu Ziyou and Lu Changan said.

The three of them returned to Baiyun Pharmacy. Lu Changsheng asked them if they had any plans of his own, and told them some of his plans.

"Father!" Lu Changsheng said after hearing this: "I still don't live in Yun'an Courtyard anymore."

"why?"

"My father has a bright future in the alchemy path. He must need someone to help with some trivial matters. Moreover, although Baiyun Cave Mansion also purchases additional elixirs refined by alchemists, the prices are very average."

"Therefore, if you want to accumulate resources as quickly as possible, you can't put all your hopes in Baiyun Pharmacy."

"Besides, if something goes wrong in Baiyun Cave Mansion, my father will be very passive."

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming more and more interested in his eldest son.

"You mean, Taixuanmen?" He activated the soundproof spiritual array in the courtyard and said calmly.

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This is the rule of the forest. During this period of time, I have paid attention to a lot of things and discovered that there are many disputes among the families around Baijing Immortal City. Among them, there should be the shadow of Taixuan Sect."

Naturally, Baiyun Cave Mansion cannot be compared with Taixuan Sect, but who said that Baiyun Master has a connection with Fentian Valley behind him?
This will definitely arouse the scruples of Taixuan Sect. Once Taixuan Sect cannot tolerate this matter, Baiyun Cave Mansion will inevitably suffer a major blow.

"Of course, these are just some speculations on my part, and they may not be true. Baiyun Cave Mansion has existed for so many years and has always been at peace with the Gu family, so there shouldn't be any big problems." Lu Changan said quickly.

Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Your idea is not wrong. However, we still have a symbiotic relationship with Baiyun Cave Mansion, so we need to pay more attention."

No one knows what the situation will be in the future, but Lu Changsheng knows that he definitely does not want to be controlled by others.

It is also very necessary to let Lu Changan start a new business outside.

"I know, father."

"However, you can't let your cultivation level fall behind. If you want to start a new business, you need to at least improve your cultivation level to the realm of Qi training."

This is the minimum requirement.

With this kind of cultivation, talents can use many magic weapons, such as treasure house fairy insects, defensive magic weapons, talismans, etc., which greatly increases safety.

The expression on Lu Changan's face froze slightly, and he responded with some helplessness.

It’s not that he is opposed to practice, but that practice is the most realistic thing. There is no miracle, and there is nothing you can do about it whether it works or not.

He has practiced martial arts for many years, and his progress in martial arts has been slow.

Seeing Lu Changan's expression, Lu Changsheng also sighed in his heart and said: "Don't be afraid of wasting spiritual stones in the future. It should be noted that talent is the foundation. Only with roots can a strong tree grow."

"The child is taught."

Lu Changan said respectfully.

As for Lu Ziyou, he had no idea and just stayed with Lu Changsheng to practice.

This second son is quite talented in cultivation, but what makes Lu Changsheng feel pity is that his spiritual root talent is only D-level.

I am afraid that within a hundred years, my two sons will be separated from me.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This was also the real reason why he was worried about marrying Pumpkin in the first place.

But after doing everything, he couldn't escape, he could only try to change these things.

The next day, the Qu family arrived as promised.

Lu Changsheng couldn't bear to receive them at Yun'an Courtyard, as that would seem a bit high-profile, so he received the Qu family members at Qingfeng Building near Baiyun Pharmacy.

This time, not only Qu Yan and Wan Yu's mother and daughter came, but also two monks. I don't know if they were the elders of the Qu family or others.

The head of the Qu family, the late-stage qi-training monk, did not arrive.

Maybe something happened, or maybe Lu Changsheng didn't catch his eye.

Compared with the last time they met, the smile on Wan Yu's face seemed much more sincere.

She pulled Qu Yan to her side.

Qu Yan was not as naked as before, and she called him Uncle Lu obediently.Lu Changsheng nodded, but he didn't dare to make a fuss.

In the final analysis, an alchemist with C-level potential is just potential. Before he becomes a true second-grade alchemist, everything is just a mirror. For those monks who are already in the late stage of Qi training, they are both respectable and insignificant. Disrespectful.

Qu Yan and Wan Yu, one is the daughter of the ancestor of the Qu family, and the other is the concubine of the ancestor of the Qu family, and their status is no less than him.

The two parties sat in front of the table. The Qu family first congratulated Lu Changsheng on becoming an alchemist, and then began to communicate about the marriage between Qu Yan and Lu Changan.

Lu Changsheng has already made peace with Lu Changan in advance, and of course he will not refuse. Moreover, the marriage is scheduled to take place on June [-] this year.

The Qu family and others also gave a meeting gift.

A pile of spiritual stones, totaling about two thousand, and an alchemy furnace.

"It's really time to go and come back." Seeing the alchemy furnace filled with spiritual energy, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

This kind of alchemy furnace uses more materials than ordinary magical weapons, and the price is completely different. For example, this alchemy furnace is at least four to five times that of an ordinary first-grade magical weapon.

The value is between [-] and [-] low-grade spiritual stones.

Although his teacher had money, he spent most of it on his own cultivation, so it was impossible to equip him with a first-grade alchemy furnace at will.

Previously, the Zhu family also gave him a first-grade pill furnace as a meeting gift, but he temporarily confiscated it and waited until the Zhu family made a complete decision.

Now it has been two days since the meeting with Niu Xi, and no one from the Zhu family has shown up yet, so the cooperation is probably in trouble.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng was very happy to be able to harvest the alchemy furnace again.

Even those who watch the Qu family are quite pleased with it.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu thinks of the Zhu family?" Wan Yu and the Qu family monks suddenly said before they were about to leave.

"I don't have much entanglement with the Zhu family. I wonder what the Taoist friends said?" Lu Changsheng's heart moved.

He didn't know what the Qu family thought of the Zhu family. If he answered rashly, he would easily fall into a passive position.

Therefore, an ambiguous answer was given.

But Wan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I heard some news in the past two days. The Zhu family seems to be very prejudiced against fellow Taoists. Fellow Taoists need to be more careful when dealing with them in the future." ."

"I wonder what the Qu family's attitude is towards the Zhu family?" Lu Changsheng asked.

Wan Yu suddenly had a gloomy face and said: "The Qu family and the Zhu family still have some grievances. If Taoist friends and the Qu family get together, it is estimated that this cooperation will be difficult. Fortunately -"

Lu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.

This is the limitation of his insufficient understanding of Bai Jingxian City and the various large and small forces around it.

"The strength is still much lower. If I were a second-grade alchemist, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

He secretly thought.

A second-grade alchemist can refine elixirs at the foundation-building level, and his level is no longer comparable to that of the Qi-training level.

If there really is such a realm, families like the Zhu family and the Qu family who are in the Qi training realm would not even dare to have such an idea.

"There is one more thing about Niu Xi."

Wan Yuqiao smiled brightly and told the story about Niu Xi being kicked out from the position of manager of the Zhu family's Baize Medicine Garden.

Lu Changsheng pondered for a long time and could only say: "The Zhu family really doesn't show any mercy."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because cooperating with fellow Taoist is likely to arouse the hostility of Alchemist Zhou. Even if he does not explicitly target fellow Taoist, the people below will inevitably think too much and have many concerns."

Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

He originally thought that the Zhu family gave up cooperation with him because of his age and cultivation, and because he had cut off their thoughts, but he didn't expect that it was for this reason.

"What about the Qu family?"

Lu Changsheng laughed.

"The Qu family isn't worried about Alchemist Zhou's anger?"

Wan Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Qu family has not hooked up with that Alchemist Zhou, so naturally there is no need to worry about this."

Lu Changsheng smiled and stopped worrying about this matter.

He knew that the Zhu family chose Alchemist Zhou between themselves and that Alchemist Zhou, and the Qu family had no choice but to choose themselves because they had no choice.

He is not unhappy about this. After all, compared with Zhou Lin, he is really not good enough at the moment.

Then, Lu Changsheng mentioned to the Qu family the matter of contacting Pumpkin and the issue of negotiating with Master Lu.

The former is nothing, but a incidental matter. All forces in Baijing Fairy City will more or less leave Fairy City at a certain period of time and go to other areas to do business.

Although Fuyun Mountain is a bit far away, because it is a relatively prosperous place of cultivation, it is also one of the destinations for many immortal city forces.

Wan Yu told him that if there was a caravan going to Fuyun Mountain, they would definitely say hello to him in advance.

As for Master Lu's matter, Wan Yu did not dare to accept it, and said: "This matter needs to be reported back to the ancestor, and it is up to him to make a decision."

There is no way, after all, a foundation-building master is involved.

However, Wan Yu also said that this matter should not be a big deal. The Lu Zhenren had many concubines, some of whom were not even favored. They were all arranged by the people below without authorization, so it was nothing. If something unexpected happens, it's better to negotiate and release it.

Separating from Wan Yu and others, Lu Changsheng returned to Yun'an Courtyard, and then devoted himself to practice.

Becoming an alchemist this time has attracted the attention of many small and medium-sized forces in Baijing Immortal City. He selected some suitable ones for cooperation and could make appropriate contacts. This matter was left to Lu Changan to take care of.

A few days later, Lu Changsheng got "Aoki Fire Technique" from Manager Mo.

This technique is a mid-level Qi training technique. Compared with the palm fire technique seen in the magic shop before, it is more subtle and more powerful.

"This method has been cultivated to the extreme, which is comparable to the first-class Dacheng method."

Moreover, because it has a trace of the endless nature of wood magic, this method also has several changes when it explodes.

Lu Changsheng sorted out the techniques he was currently majoring in.

The first is the Five Wood Immortal Technique, which is the fundamental method used to enhance magic power.

Then there is the spell "Aoki Fire Technique", which is used to make elixirs. It is also an excellent offensive spell.

The remaining root methods have completed their mission and can only be put aside for the time being.

"Cultivation is mainly about improving longevity, while fire method is to accumulate resources and serve to improve cultivation."

"Two spells are enough for now. My energy is limited. I should specialize in one or two spells and remember to be greedy for too much."

He stood up and looked outside, but it was Lu Changan who had returned.

Not long after, the two of them were sitting in the courtyard.

Lu Changan took out several treasure house fairy insects.

He still barely reached the innate realm, and it was too difficult to open the treasure house of immortal insects, so Lu Changsheng opened it.

"Father, these are all gifts sent by those families. I have accepted everything I can, and returned what I can't."

Lu Changan said.

When looking for help, look for someone who can help.

Many forces that can only be supported in the middle stage of ordinary Qi training will probably cause more trouble than help, so this kind of force cannot be contained.

Lu Changsheng doesn't need subordinates now, but some partners.

"it is good."

After counting the gift data, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

These resources are enough for him to use for a long time. (End of chapter)
