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

Liu Yun was a little surprised. The conditions he gave were already very sincere, but he was still rejected.

If it were anyone else, he would probably use his words as a bluff.

As the manager of Liuli Trading Company, he is not shameless.

But in this case, the relationship with Lu Changsheng has faded, and the previous efforts have been wasted.

"It should, it should. No matter what, I will keep this thing for Master Lu for one year."

Liu Yun smiled.

After Lu Changsheng left, the entourage beside him couldn't help but ask: "Manager Liu, are you a little too polite to Master Lu?"

A second-class alchemist was certainly worth making friends with, but with his understanding of Steward Liu, it was impossible for him not to feel a little bit displeased at such an insult to Steward Liu.

"You don't understand. Master Lu is not as simple as he appears."

The follower thought: Could it be that Manager Liu smelled something from Alchemist Lu?

Within Liuli Trading Company, some people knew about Manager Liu's ability. He had a strange sense of smell and could smell elixirs.

"Yes." Manager Liu had a look of surprise on his face.

He didn't want to tell his entourage, but he was really itching in his heart. After hesitating for a few times, he said: "A new elixir fragrance appeared on Master Lu's body, and it is a superior barrier-breaking elixir fragrance."

The follower was suddenly shocked and showed a hint of shock.

The superior barrier-breaking elixir is one of the most valuable among the elixirs at the Qi training level.

An alchemist who can refine high-quality barrier-breaking elixirs will be a guest wherever he goes.

An idea suddenly occurred in the follower's mind.

"Manager Liu, it seems that Master Lu is only at the middle stage of Qi training..."

He didn't finish his words, and then looked at Manager Liu with some anxiety.

A strange look appeared on Liu Yun's face, and he gently covered the cup on the table.

"carry on."

The entourage left disappointed.

Trading firms are not a kind place, and are even scarier than ordinary casual cultivators. Many powerful trading firms have a bunch of powerful monks under them.

And if you encounter something with huge benefits, you will naturally use some shameful means.

The meaning of the entourage's words is very clear, that is, he is saying that the Lu family's "morality is not worthy of its place."

As long as you do it right, it's possible to get a piece of the pie.

However, Liu Yun knew that this method was not a good solution.

First of all, this is not business, but ability. Even if he uses Liuli Trading Company's connections to control Lu Changsheng, he will always have to worry about backlash in the end.

This is the most taboo point in doing business.

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng was not alone. As far as he knew, Fang Yuan, the ancestor of the Fang family, had a very good relationship with Lu Changsheng.

Maybe Lu Changsheng could refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill, and Fang Yuan's contribution was behind it. It was certainly not worth it to quarrel with Lu Changsheng for this little thing.

······

After returning home, I went to the training room.

The door of the training room used by Li Guanggu was closed tightly, and no sound could be heard.

There are only some very subtle steady sounds.

It seems that Pumpkin is still adjusting.

Breaking through the realm in the later stages of Qi training is a relatively time-consuming process.

It will take at least several days or even dozens of days.

Everything depends on one's own understanding. He returned to his training room, took the jade book of alchemy and started reading.

In recent years, he has purchased basically all the alchemy and jade books from several surrounding fairy cities, and many of them are duplicates.

Because the people below helped with the purchase, it was difficult for them to tell which content Lu Changsheng had already read, so they bought many of them, which increased Lu Changsheng's costs a lot.

Fortunately, from now on, there is no need to buy the alchemy jade books here. Lu Changsheng found that many alchemy jade books had very little effect on his alchemy improvement.

"This proves that my foundation in the alchemy path is already very solid."

Next, what he needs to consider is to improve his cultivation level, and then upgrade his Alchemy cultivation level to the second level.

"Second-grade alchemy cultivation will allow me to achieve the foundation-building status with the state of Qi training."

Lu Changsheng secretly said.

"Father!" At this moment, Lu Ziyou's voice came from outside the door.

If Lu Changsheng had not gone into seclusion, he would not have closed the door to the training room.

Lu Ziyou also called out when he saw the door was ajar.

"What's the matter?"

"It's the head of the Fang family who wants to see you in an emergency."

Lu Changsheng was a little surprised, wondering what Fang Shan wanted to do with him.

After leaving the door, not long after, he saw a somewhat restless Fang Shan in the living room.

Seeing Lu Changsheng, Fang Shan said quickly: "Please also ask Alchemist Lu to come to the house."

Fang Shan directly stated his intention, and at the same time, Fang Shan's voice rang in his ears.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he immediately raised his brows, persuaded Lu Zi, and then headed towards Fang Mansion with Fang Shan.

······

"How did Fellow Daoist Fang become like this?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan looked very depressed and couldn't even move around. He was lying on the bed, out of breath.

In this state, he dared to invite Lu Changsheng over, which showed that he really trusted Lu Changsheng.

Of course, Lu Changsheng preferred to believe that Fang Yuan had other means of coping. Once he really took action, he would probably be able to react.

The defensiveness of these old monks should not be underestimated.

"It's a long story. This time I went to Black Stone Fairy City. I wanted to buy a batch of barrier-breaking pill materials. I didn't want to ask several stores but they didn't have any in stock. At this time, someone came to my door and asked me if I wanted to go to the black market. ?”

"The problem is this black market."

"This black market is really a black market. As soon as I entered, I was targeted and killed on the spot. Fortunately, I was able to get out."

Fang Yuan was also frightened for a while. He was also suffering from a serious illness and had to go to the hospital. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but want to go over and take a look.

Lu Changsheng was speechless for a while after hearing this.

There are black markets in many places, and some shady things are usually sold on the black market.

There is also a black market in Baijing Fairy City, but unfortunately, the level is too low. It is a surprise to see some items in the late stage of Qi training.

Of course, there are some good things, but the chance is too great. The people behind the black market in Baijing Immortal City do not dare to offend the monks at the foundation level, so some unclean monks will go to other fairy cities to sell them.

This is why Lu Changsheng never thought of going to the black market.

And looking at Fang Yuan's appearance, it was obvious that someone had squatted him down.

Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it. The monks were out there, and if they weren't careful, they could easily be targeted.

However, Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "The person squatting on me this time feels a little different."

After hearing what he said, Lu Changsheng also became serious.

It turned out that he had also encountered ambushes when he went out of the city several times before. At that time, he only thought that there was something wrong somewhere, so he would disguise himself the next few times when he went out of the city. “I’ve been outside in the past, and I think this method of disguise is okay, but something went wrong every time.”

"Are you saying someone is targeting you?"

Fang Yuan nodded, "But I don't have any clue. I have a lot of enemies, but I know their methods very well. It's impossible to fight to that level without knowing it."

The more intense the fighting, the harder it is to disguise one's own strength.

Many monks don't like others to know what spells they have practiced, because they are worried about this.

Spells are somewhat restrained. For example, fire spells are naturally weak against water spells.

At that time, if you want to ambush a monk who is famous for his fire spells, you can prepare a lot of water talismans or magic weapons containing water abilities.

In this way, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Fang Yuan is an old monk, so it's impossible that he doesn't understand this. Thinking about it, he must be more cautious this trip than the previous ones.

The two of them speculated and guessed but couldn't figure it out.

However, Lu Changsheng suddenly said something.

"Since we can't guess it, wouldn't it be enough to wipe out all the hostile forces?"

Fang Yuan's brows jumped and he thought to himself: Such murderous intent.

"The one who has the most hatred against me is naturally the Feng family."

Fang Yuan's tone was unconfident.

The ancestor of the Feng family is still alive. Although he is much weaker than himself, he can barely survive. The most important thing is that the other party has good relations with some families. As long as the ancestor of the Feng family cannot be killed in one fell swoop, the consequences will not be bearable by the Fang family. of.

"If I think it's feasible, I'll call a few other ancestors over and let's discuss it carefully."

Lu Changsheng laughed.

"A few others?" Fang Yuan was not very willing. He guessed that Lu Changsheng wanted to join forces with several other ancestors to take action.

But the possibility is not high. Other companies also have opponents, and their strength varies. For example, the main opponent of the Qu family is the Zhu family.

The Zhu family has several families in the late stages of Qi training, and Fang Yuan does not want to directly confront the Zhu family over this matter.

How weak is his old enemy, the ancestor of the Feng family? At least if he is not careless, he will definitely not be in danger of falling.

But facing the Zhu family, he fell down accidentally.

He could still tell the difference between the light and the heavy.

There are two families who are willing to let them join, but the Chen and Huang families also have the same idea as him, so this kind of thing will definitely not work.

"Try it first."

Lu Changsheng shook his head and smiled.

Fang Yuan shook his head and sighed: "I also know that it is best to do it once and for all. No one wants to be worried about the enemy all day long, but if our families are together, it will do more harm than good to some people."

Once they unite against the enemy, there is no doubt that the other party will unite as well.

At that time, families like the Huang family will have to face enemies like the Zhu family who possess the ninth level of Qi training.

It's really unfair.

"I know, aren't you worried about your demise? But, what if more families can be united to take action?" Lu Changsheng said.

"It's unrealistic! The more families there are, the more enemies there will be, and others may not be willing to create so many enemies out of thin air."

Not all families have enemies, so the other party naturally doesn't want their family to fall into this kind of struggle.

Lu Changsheng suddenly said: "By the way, did fellow Taoist Fang Shan not tell you about the barrier-breaking pill?"

"Barrier-Breaking Pill?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then understood, his eyes flashed, still with a hint of disbelief, and said: "It's done?"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's face was filled with joy.

"The five families have some sixth-level qi-training monks. If they accumulate for a period of time, they should be able to produce a few late-stage qi-training monks. By then, it will be equivalent to a few more forces like the Huang family."

Fang Yuan frowned and said, "If this is the case, then there is no need to join forces with them."

If the Fang family can reach a later stage of Qi training, they can solve the problem by themselves.

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "How do you know that the enemies who ambush you must be these enemies you know? Don't forget, you have been very close to several other companies recently."

"Would the other opponents have any scruples when they see this?"

Fang Yuan's face darkened slightly, he glanced at Lu Changsheng and said, "Let's see what they say first."

"Now that I have upgraded the Superior Barrier-Breaking Pill to a small level, the success rate of refining it is still a little low. Relying on your family to collect materials is already a bit slow." Lu Changsheng reminded.

Fang Yuan nodded.

······

That night, several families received invitation letters from Lu Changsheng.

However, Huang Feng and Chen Hua, the ancestor of the Chen family, are not here. There have been occasional fights between the families recently. As the high-end combat force in the family, they have to be busy suppressing Xiao Xiao.

So it was the patriarchs of the two families who came.

When everyone was seated, Lu Changsheng didn't waste any time and proposed that all the families should unite to deal with the enemy.

The heads of the Huang family and the Chen family are both mid-stage Qi training monks. They are under a lot of pressure from the other ancestors, so they focus on listening more and talking less.

But the other ancestors had different expressions.

The Qu family is happy to see the success. Among the several families, the Qu family has the most difficult enemies. It was fine before Qu Sheng fell. The two late stage Qi practitioners could provide some support. Now, he is the only one left. , Some people can't sing alone.

The addition of several other companies can take a lot of pressure off the Qu family.

But the four families of Zhao, Huang, Chen and Fang were somewhat reluctant.

Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "The power of a clan involves the interests of many clan members. It is definitely normal to have to consider many aspects. However, it is not without benefits for everyone."

Speaking of this, Lu Changsheng took out the barrier-breaking pill he had prepared.

"I won't say much. It's good if everyone thinks it works. If it doesn't, it's okay. I refined this elixir recently and its quality is top-grade."

Fang Yuan had a faint smile on his face.

Looking at the barrier-breaking pill in Lu Changsheng's hand, I still felt like I was hit by a surprise.

The investment finally paid off.

There is a huge difference between those alchemists who can refine superior barrier-breaking pills and those who cannot.

It can be said that the Fang family now has basically complete protection in terms of alchemy. As long as Lu Changsheng is still around, the Fang family will basically not be without elixirs.

Ordinary elixirs can be purchased on the market, but many uncommon elixirs will be troublesome if you don't find an alchemist to refine them.

Lu Changsheng has made up for their shortcomings, and there is no need to please some new alchemists like in the past.

Soon, people from other families also reacted and looked at Fang Yuan with envy.

As the saying goes, first come, first served, there is definitely a huge difference between providing help in times of need and icing on the cake.

After understanding the meaning of the superior barrier-breaking elixir, the heads of the Huang family and the Chen family couldn't sit still at all. They took out the sound transmission conch on the spot and ran out to inform their ancestors.

Half an hour later, two spiritual lights fell one after another. It was Huang Feng, the ancestor of the Huang family, and Chen Hua, the ancestor of the Chen family, who had gone out to guard their property.

"Alchemist Lu, can you show us the elixir?"

As soon as the two arrived, they couldn't wait to look at Lu Changsheng, with a trace of desire in their eyes. (End of chapter)
