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

"This morning our family evacuated the last piece of property outside the city and gave up the mining land in Hulin Mountain."

Fang Yuan said.

"However, looking back, I realized that this kind of thing seemed a bit deliberate."

"There is no way, no way, we can't let the people below die, right?"

"Besides, sending someone to death too many times will make the other party suspicious," Huang Feng said.

Family fights are never so easy. After all, there are really too many maneuverability. For example, if you cannot defend an industry outside the city, you can divide the interests and ask other families to intervene.

Of course, this kind of thing can easily attract wolves into the house, and no family would do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, if they evacuate directly like this, they will inevitably make the rival families suspicious.

Lu Changsheng listened to Fang Yuan and others chatting with each other, and he knew in his heart that this was just a few ancestors who wanted to put a little pressure on themselves.

The meaning of the words is nothing more than 'We have almost lost all our properties, and you can't delay your alchemy work any longer'.

Several of the ancestors were all human spirits, and even if they urged Lu Changsheng to make elixirs, they would not speak directly.

So as not to hurt the harmony.

Lu Changsheng didn't care, because today Fang Yuan and others brought some materials for the barrier-breaking pills, which totaled exactly ten. If they were lucky, they should be able to produce two or three furnaces of barrier-breaking pills.

"nature!"

Lu Changsheng smiled.

Several ancestors did not leave and were waiting for the results in Lu Mansion.

Lu Changsheng returned to Baiyun Pharmacy with the materials to refine the elixir.

A few days later, he walked out of Yun'an Courtyard with a hint of joy on his face.

This time, his luck was much better than he expected. With ten materials, four furnaces were successful.

When Lu Changsheng returned to Lu Mansion, several ancestors suddenly looked excited.

He thanked Lu Changsheng repeatedly, and then returned home with the elixirs. Because each family provided different amounts of materials, the number of elixirs they distributed was also different, but the family with the smallest number also received three high-quality barrier-breaking elixirs. There is a chance that a monk in the late stage of Qi training can be cultivated.

Of course, if you are unlucky, like the Qu family did before, it is also very possible.

After seeing off several ancestors, Lu Changsheng returned to the courtyard and saw Lu Ziyou.

Lu Ziyou also knew something about Lu Changsheng's plan, but he did not agree with it.

Mainly because it's too dangerous.

"On the surface, Zhu Jiaming has three late-stage qi-training people, but in fact there are probably more. Moreover, the old patriarch of the Zhu family is the ultimate in late-stage qi-training. If he accidentally takes that step, it will be a disaster for our Lu family. !”

"How can it be so easy to advance to the foundation-building realm?" Lu Changsheng said angrily.

Of course, he will not be careless.

The reason why several families were promoted was to eliminate the Zhu family as a potential enemy.

At least, they can use the help of several companies to buy him more time.

Since even other rival families have discovered the anomaly, there is no reason for the Zhu family not to notice it.

"They will take some measures to some extent." Lu Changsheng thought.

······

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and Lu Changsheng received congratulatory messages from other families one after another.

A simple letter.

Written above was the same simple message of congratulations.

The handwriting was filled with a faint aura, and when Lu Changsheng saw it, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of joy in it.

The first one sent was the Fang family.

Fang Shan, the head of the Fang family, was selected by Fang Yuan to be the seed for swallowing the barrier-breaking pill. Fang Shan had a good foundation in practice and an extremely stable mentality. Therefore, after more than a month, he successfully entered the seventh level of Qi training and became an old master. Ancestor-like figure.

Logically speaking, the Fang family would definitely hold a banquet for this kind of thing, but considering that they would take action against other families in the future, they tolerated it for the time being.

Then, it was the Qu family's turn.

After several days of tangle, Qu Guang finally chose Qu Feng.

It is said that there was a quarrel with the previous Qu Nian over this.

After hearing this, Lu Changsheng realized that Qu Nian was actually Qu Guang's son, but in order to ensure Qu Nian's safety, he treated him as an ordinary family member.

As for the other three families, their luck was not so good. They consumed all the barrier-breaking pills and failed to reach the late stage of Qi training.

When facing the Fang family and the Qu family, the three families were invisibly lowered.

"The five ancestors who are in the late stage of Qi training, plus the two newly born late Qi training ones, there are only seven people. Even if pumpkins are added, there are only eight people, which is too few!"

Lu Changsheng calculated the number of people.

He planned to attack the Zhu family first, and leave the other families to deal with it on their own.

After all, currently, the only ones who have a grudge against the Lu family are the Zhu family.

"It's a pity that we don't have the materials."

The materials for high-quality barrier-breaking pills cannot be bought with spiritual stones. Many families will collect them in advance to cultivate family power.

Thinking of this, he got up and went out, heading to Liuli Trading Company.

But Liu Yun told him that there was still no news about Tong Lingmu.

······

Another month passed, and Lu Changsheng suddenly received news from Liu Yun.

Tong Ling Mu, there is news!

After learning the information, he quickly found Liu Yun and asked.

However, after listening to Liu Yun's words, he was a little confused.

"I got news that there is a casual cultivator in Liuyun Immortal City who has the Tongling Wood. However, the Tongling Wood is not in his hands, but in the possession of an evil cultivator."

Liu Yun said.

"Where is the evil cultivator?"

"The man didn't tell me. He just said that if he knew, he would need you to go there together. From his tone, it seemed that he had a grudge against the evil cultivator." Liu Yun said.

"Do you have his contact information?" Lu Changsheng nodded, but he hesitated in his heart. Leaving Immortal City at this time is far more dangerous than before. Before, even Fang Yuan almost fell into trouble in the late stage of Qi training. , it is too risky for a fifth-level qi-training monk to go out.

"That's all, just wait."

Lu Changsheng got the contact information of the other party. If he arrived in Liuyun Immortal City, he could contact the other party through this method.

However, for now, he has no plans to contact the other party.

"If it doesn't work, temporarily buy some top-quality magic weapons to protect yourself."

With his current net worth, he could already buy a top-quality magic weapon worth 10,000 to 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones, so he went to Fang Market and spent a day selecting two defensive magic weapons.

One is a trigger-type golden light shield. If it is attacked, a golden light shield will burst out in an instant, lasting for ten seconds.

The other piece is for spiritual and mental protection.

These two things can be said to have emptied all the spiritual stones on hand.

If it weren't for the good operating income of the Lu Mansion, there really would be no way to match two top-quality magic weapons at once.

With this thing, I feel that my personal safety is somewhat guaranteed.

Lu Changsheng also relaxed a little.

As for Tonglingmu, they can only wait for a while, at least until Fang Yuan and others eliminate the enemy of the Zhu family.

Lu Changsheng asked himself that there should be many people who were dissatisfied with him, such as those from Lei Ding's lineage or Huo Zun's lineage, but they would not risk taking action against him. Thinking about it, only the Zhu family can have it.

·······

One month later, Liuyun Fairy City.

A monk opened the door and looked at the street steward who came to collect the rent. He felt a little pain in his gums.

"Can you please allow some time?"

He looked at the treasure house of fairy insects, and finally reluctantly took out more than ten low-grade spiritual stones, which were all his belongings.

A stiff smile suddenly appeared on the steward's face, "Fellow Taoist, you are really joking. This is the property of the Zhou family. How can I be so lenient as I want?"

The monk walked away from the room angrily. Seeing the steward lock the door and leave, a hint of gloom suddenly appeared on his face.

The residence in the fairy city is guarded, and he wouldn't dare to break in privately even if he had ten nerves.

But thinking that the spiritual formation that I had just enjoyed for more than a month was now cut off, I was really unwilling to do so.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

He secretly thought.

He was originally a casual cultivator in Xiaofang City outside the city. More than a month ago, a mysterious man found him and made a deal with him to help give some information to the people of Liuli Trading Company.

It's about Tonglingmu.

He often does this kind of thing to lure fish to the bait, so he naturally knows the other party's purpose.

In order to allow him to use the bait with peace of mind, the man also revealed some late-stage Qi training methods and gave him some spiritual stones to rent a venue here.

As a rare thing, Tonglingmu is probably impossible to get information without some ability and capital.

In this regard, the mysterious man has spent some money.

The other party said that in a month at most, the person who needs to be lured will arrive. At that time, he can just take them to the designated place.

Unexpectedly, he had been waiting here for more than a month, but he did not wait for his so-called goal.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!

After recalling the previous days, this man felt unwilling.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure approaching, his eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly.

"Fellow Daoist, the person you mentioned has not arrived yet, should I be given another place to stay for a while?"

The visitor's eyes were slightly cold, and he endured the irritability in his heart and said: "This is different. The man is already on the way. You come with me."

Although the monk was wary, he could not resist the temptation of the spirit stone, so he followed along and left the fairy city in a short time.

"Fellow Taoist, it's enough. If we go further, we will reach the wilderness."

Not long after arriving outside the city, the monk also noticed something was wrong and quickly stopped vigilantly.

However, the next moment, the person in front of him suddenly turned around, and a ray of silver light flashed away like a horse.

The casual cultivator was only at the third level of Qi training. How could he withstand it? With a pop, his body and head were suddenly separated in two places.

The man seemed to have expected this situation. With a pinch of his left hand, a ball of orange-red flames covered the opponent's body. In a moment, he picked out a treasure house fairy insect from inside.

"So poor!"

Seeing the contents inside, he shook his head in disgust and put away the treasure trove of fairy insects.

No matter what, fairy insects can also sell some spiritual stones, which is better than nothing.

What really bothered him was the failure of this mission.

"How's it going? No news yet?" He waited in Liuyun Immortal City for more than half a month, but unfortunately, he never got a useful reply from the Sound Transmitting Snail.

Now, he was a little annoyed, "I don't have that much time to waste."

"Fellow Daoist Beiming, please be patient. Lu must have noticed this. As you know, he is too cautious to be a second-class alchemist."

Zhu Zhen's voice came from the sound transmission conch.

Bei Ming quite agrees with this statement.

Although there are some second-class alchemy masters in Baiyundong who stay behind closed doors all year round, Lu Changsheng is the only one who doesn't go out for several years.

Even when it came to bringing out information about what the other party needed, he couldn't get the other party to come out.

Not only that, there is no news about the ancestors of those families.

"For the extra time this time, I will give fellow Taoist enough spiritual stones to compensate."

The voice in the sound-transmitting conch made Bei Ming look satisfied, and his tone became much better.

"It's your job to lure people out, I'm only responsible for taking action."

"It's natural!"

Zhu Zhen cut off the sound-transmitting snail and looked around with a gloomy face. This is a wilderness place, more than a hundred miles away from Liuyun Fairy City. At this moment, not only him, but also several figures are here. .

They are all monks in the late stage of Qi training, including Zhu Ren, the old patriarch of the Zhu family, a master of the ninth level of Qi training.

Obviously, they gathered here to surround and kill Lu Changsheng. At the worst, they could kill the ancestors of several families who surrounded Lu Changsheng.

"I expected that Lu Changsheng didn't come out, but Fang Yuan and the others didn't come over, so I couldn't figure it out."

"Based on what I know about Lu Changsheng, he should entrust Fang Yuan and others to come out."

······

After getting the news from Beiming from Zhu Zhen's mouth, everyone was puzzled. A sullen feeling accumulated in their hearts, which was difficult to transport for a while. The feeling was like a carefully prepared big move, preparing to give the opponent a heavy blow. It was as if he was attacking, only to find that his opponent had something to do and didn't come to fight at all.

"Wait! We have to be patient enough to face them." The old patriarch of the Zhu family pondered for a moment and then said.

Lu Changsheng didn't know about this.

He was still obsessed with alchemy every day, but his main focus had shifted from the barrier-breaking pill to the rejuvenation pill.

With the assistance of the Rejuvenation Pill, his cultivation level is also improving at a relatively fast rate.

Just when he had slowly given up on collecting spiritual trees, Liu Yun brought him a surprise.

"Tong Ling Mu, got it!"

"It's really luck. This thing was sold in Taixuan Immortal City, and my people happened to see it and bought it."

Liu Yun said with a smile on his face.

"Guanshi Liu is really good news to me." Lu Changsheng said with some excitement.

"Where is it! However, I still need to trouble fellow Taoist about something." Manager Liu said.

"Manager Liu, please tell me."

"I got some barrier-breaking elixir materials through my connections. I wonder if I can ask Alchemist Lu to help me refine them?"

"Of course you can. However, my Barrier-Breaking Pill is only at a small level, and I'm afraid it will consume a lot of materials. Are you sure Manager Liu wants me to refine it?" Lu Changsheng was also a little surprised.

It is absolutely impossible for a large business association like Liuli Trading Company to say that it does not have an alchemist who can refine superior barrier-breaking elixirs.

The Chamber of Commerce pursues maximizing profits. Logically speaking, if you have the materials, wouldn't you make more money by finding those alchemists who have mastered the alchemy recipe to refine them?

Why bother to come to him?

However, it is better to do less than to do more. Lu Changsheng did not ask in detail. Seeing Liu Yun nodding, he took the materials and entered the alchemy room of the trading company.

Two days later, he walked out with a smoky aura and two more bottles of pills in his hand.

"Just average luck."

"Okay, okay."

Liu Yun said quickly.

He gave Lu Changsheng ten medicinal materials, and it was reasonable to be able to produce two pots of pills. As for whether Lu Changsheng would secretly intercept them, it didn't matter to the alchemist. (End of chapter)
