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

Lu Changsheng accepted Liu Yun's innate spirit son, and his family knew about his family affairs. With his current longevity, even until the last moment, he would not be able to reach the second-level level of immortality.

This Foundation Establishment Pill, if nothing unexpected happens, will definitely be eaten.

After bidding farewell to Liu Yun and Fu Chen, Lu Changsheng went to attend Su Mu's banquet.

Mingyue Tower is considered a famous building in Baijingxian City, and its cost is higher than that of Qingfeng Tower. When Lu Changsheng arrived, he saw Su Mu standing in the side room waiting.

"Alchemist Lu!"

Seeing Lu Changsheng, Su Mu's face suddenly burst into smile.

Since the Alchemist Lu in front of him can be so highly praised by Alchemist Wu, it has proved his ability.

Although Su Mu will not stay here for a long time, he is already in the late stage of Qi training to the stage of foundation building, and it is still of great benefit to know more alchemists.

There were only three people at this banquet, Lu Changsheng, Su Mu, and Master Wu.

At the banquet, Su Mu spoke eloquently and frequently clinked glasses with Lu Changsheng and Master Wu to resolve the previous dispute against Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng would naturally not hold back when the other party lowered himself so low.

After the meal, several people chatted happily.

In order to gain Lu Changsheng's understanding, Su Mu naturally had to mention the reason why this happened.

However, because of the dispute involving Liuli Trading Company, both Lu Changsheng and Master Wu wisely did not inquire in detail.

This huge high-level dispute is just the tip of the iceberg in Baijing Fairy City.

After having enough wine and food, several people dispersed and left. Just as they were about to go out, Su Mu suddenly said: "I wonder if you two are interested in going to Taixuan Immortal City with me?"

Lu Changsheng was a little moved. Su Mu spent a lot of time in Taixuan Immortal City. If he had gone there, it would definitely be of great use to his practice.

However, if you follow him, he will probably be involved in the dispute with Liuli Trading Company, and you may not be able to control yourself when the time comes.

"With the Burning Sky Valley line, I don't need to provoke other lines to avoid causing more trouble."

Thinking this in his heart, he politely rejected the other party's kindness on the surface.

On the other hand, Master Wu Danshi next to him showed obvious movement.

Lu Changsheng didn't feel comfortable saying anything. Knowing that the two of them might have further discussions, he got up and left early.

However, not long after arriving home, he saw Lu Changan walking over in a hurry.

"Father, something happened."

Lu Changsheng frowned and said comfortingly: "Speak slowly."

After a while, Lu Changsheng learned what happened from Lu Changan.

Not long ago, the alchemy shop managed by Lu Changan suddenly received a letter from the alchemist there, saying that he would terminate cooperation with the Lu family.

"The five alchemists we worked with, as well as the six alchemists we trained during this period, all said they would no longer refine elixirs for us."

Lu Changan's face was cold.

The elixirs sold in the Lu Mansion's elixir shop are basically composed of two parts. The most important ones are the high-grade and top-grade elixirs refined by Lu Changsheng.

Then there are the low-grade pills and medium-grade pills refined by the alchemists supported by the Lu Mansion.

The market for low-grade pills and medium-grade pills is obviously larger than that of high-grade pills and top-grade pills.

After all, in a remote place like Baijing Immortal City, most people can only afford middle- and lower-grade elixirs.

Previously, in order to maximize profits, he refined the required elixirs and improved the progress of the elixirs, while the remaining elixirs were sold from the elixir shop.

For middle- and lower-level elixirs, Lu Changan used the reputation of the store to recruit a group of alchemists and trained a group of alchemists to help refine them.

Over the years, Lu Changsheng would go to the alchemy shop when he had time to teach the alchemists some experience in alchemy.

"Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know. It was fine yesterday, and the letter was sent today."

Lu Changan handed the letter in his hand to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng looked at it and suddenly sneered.

The reasons mentioned on the letter were varied. Some said that their cultivation had reached a bottleneck and they wanted to seek opportunities elsewhere. of

Some say they feel they are not talented enough in alchemy and want to learn other skills.

······

Lu Changsheng knew who was helping the Lu Mansion Alchemy Shop to refine elixirs, otherwise, he would not have been refining low-grade elixirs and medium-grade elixirs.

Basically, it can be said that except for the five alchemists who cooperated, the other alchemists were very frustrated in the alchemy path. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lu family gave them a hand.

The strongest one is only at the third level of Qi training.

Does such a character need to go elsewhere to seek opportunities?

"What do you think?" He threw the letter on the table, looked at Lu Changan, and wanted to see how his eldest son would handle this matter.

"They signed an immortal contract with us. With this thing here, it stands to reason that they would not dare to break up with us." Lu Changan said with a frown.

He is prudent in his work, so it is naturally impossible for him not to sign an immortal contract before training an alchemist.

"So, they should be confident, or they can't help themselves!"

Lu Changan guessed.

"Whether it is involuntary or not, we will know if we go and see for ourselves."

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

Immediately, he and Lu Changan left the house and went to the residence of the alchemists.

With Lu Changsheng's current status, he naturally does not need to care about those alchemists who can only refine low-level elixirs. However, this matter is a bit strange, and he does not dare to be careless until he understands the whole story.

The first person to visit was a monk named Zhao.

The other party was an alchemist who cooperated with the Lu family, and he seemed quite polite when he saw Lu Changan.

Especially when he saw Lu Changsheng behind Lu Changan, the man was immediately startled, and even straightened up, he bent down a little.

"I didn't know that Alchemist Lu came to visit, so I was negligent. Please forgive me, Alchemist Lu."

After all, Lu Changsheng was the head of the family, and his combat prowess in the late stage of Qi training was still a second-class alchemy master. How could a monk named Zhao dare to be so powerful?

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is not as scared as you said!" Lu Changsheng said.

"This -" the monk surnamed Zhao said with a dry smile on his face: "This is a matter for me."

With that said, he took out a bag of spiritual stones.

"What does Fellow Daoist Zhao mean?" Lu Changsheng glanced at him.

"This is my apology."

Lu Changsheng's heart sank. He came to see this person in the first place because his behavior was the smoothest. Perhaps he could learn some reasons from his mouth.

He didn't want to, even if he stood in front of him, he didn't show it at all.

"Who is against my Lu family?"

"Master Lu, please go around me."

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng stopped pressing him.

The monk surnamed Zhao is considered a collaborator of the Lu family. Since the cooperation failed and he received compensation, it is natural that the problem will be solved, but——

"Those who have been trained by the Lu family will not be exposed so easily!"

Next, Lu Changsheng and Lu Changan went to the residences of several other collaborators and received similar responses.

And those people seemed to have been mentally prepared and took out the spiritual stones to compensate.

Lu Changsheng naturally accepted it.

"Business cannot be done without righteousness. They and we are mutually beneficial. It doesn't matter if we can't cooperate."

Walking on the street, Lu Changsheng and Lu Changan said. Soon, he arrived at a room in the group of houses, but after Lu Changan went up and knocked on the door for a while, there was no response.

Not in the house?

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, but since he has already come, it is definitely not possible for his trip to be in vain. Such a person cannot cause him such trouble.

Not long after, Lu Changan approached the steward here.

The houses in the group of houses could keep out outsiders, but they couldn't stop the steward here. Knowing that Master Lu was looking for someone, the steward here helped open the door in a show of dignity.

"Wait, I'm in there."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a thin-looking monk coming out. He looked at Lu Changsheng with a hint of displeasure.

"Alchemist Lu, please come in. I was practicing before. I didn't know that Alchemist Lu would be offended if he came."

The other party's expression changed very quickly. If it weren't for Lu Changsheng's advanced cultivation, he really wouldn't have been able to catch a glimpse of the strange expression on the other party's face before.

"There's no need to go in. I just came here to find out. Has Fellow Taoist really decided?"

Lu Changsheng's straightforward approach made this person a little annoyed.

Although he doesn't like Alchemist Lu in front of him, the latter still has some influence. If he can welcome him in, his background will become scary in the eyes of the casual cultivators in the surrounding houses, and he may not be able to do so in the future. Take advantage of the situation.

Now that Lu Changsheng directly stated his relationship here, his little plan was undoubtedly ruined.

"Master Lu's words are serious. I just have my own personal development. Please forgive me, Master Lu."

Lu Changsheng's expression darkened, he nodded, turned and left.

"Father, do you want to go to a few other places?"

"Go ahead, there's not much time left."

Lu Changsheng said.

These monks who have been practicing for many years, even if their cultivation level is not high, are still very discerning. It should be difficult to know what they want from each other, but Lu Changsheng can still see that they are full of confidence.

Sure enough, he then went to the residences of the remaining alchemists and received similar responses.

"It seems that some great person has taken action against our Lu family."

Returning to Lu Mansion, Lu Changsheng said.

Seeing his father so calm, Lu Changan's inner panic became much less.

"What guess does father have?"

Lu Changsheng nodded, "After thinking about it, the only one who can do such a thing is the former Zhu family."

"The current representative of the Zhu family is Zhu Qing. She has a bright future, but after all, she has not yet reached the foundation-building level. This step is almost her limit."

"Go find your Uncle Yu and Senior Wang."

Lu Changan quickly turned around and left.

Yu Hai and Wang Futian have been following the elders of the Xianmen to suppress the evil cultivator Hongyun Taoist for some time. Even Lu Changsheng rarely sees them.

It took Lu Changan a long time to find the two of them, which was quite fast.

"It happened that I saw Uncle Yu and senior when I was preparing to go to the city gate." Lu Changan said to Lu Changsheng after returning.

Obviously, Yu Hai and Wang Futian also had something to talk to Lu Changsheng.

As expected, when he saw Lu Changsheng, Ru Yuhai said directly: "Changsheng, you have to be more careful, then Zhu Qing has arrived in Baijing Immortal City."

"Is it really her?"

Lu Changsheng told the two of them about the departure of the alchemist of his alchemy shop.

"She probably can't be wrong. Even if she has a feud with Fellow Daoist Lu, she can't directly ask the Foundation Establishment monks for help. She doesn't have that much energy yet." Wang Futian said.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu thinks." Seeing Lu Changsheng's frown, Wang Futian thought that this might be an opportunity and said immediately.

"What do you mean?"

"I think fellow Taoist is not the kind of person who likes trouble. Besides, the destruction of the Zhu family is not a big deal. If fellow Taoist thinks it is okay, I may be able to help make peace with it."

If he were an ordinary person, he would not easily say the words of peace, but Wang Futian had his own ability to judge people and felt that Lu Changsheng should accept this statement.

"It may not be impossible!" Sure enough, Lu Changsheng said with a brow.

Wang Futian felt a little excited.

For the first time in so many days, he saw hope of completely making amends with Lu Changsheng.

"Then this is the good news that Fellow Daoist Lu is waiting for me."

Wang Futian and Yu Hai left in a hurry.

If you want to make peace, you need someone with enough weight to come forward. Ordinary foundation building overhauls are not enough, at least you need elders in the immortal sect.

However, since Wang Futian dared to say this, he must be somewhat confident.

Watching the two people leave, Lu Changan said with some confusion: "Why did father accept this matter? We are not afraid of Zhu Qing either."

Lu Changsheng said: "Zhu Qing is always a trouble. With our current strength, it is difficult to get rid of her. And with Zhu Qing's character and talent, in the future, he may be able to build the foundation one step ahead of you, Uncle Yu. At this time, it will be a big disaster for my Lu family!"

"Besides, if we have to allocate our energy to deal with her, it will also drag us down."

If Zhu Qing really did something like today, it must be to limit their access to resources and affect their cultivation progress.

"Our current situation is a competition. Whoever builds the foundation faster will be the winner!"

Lu Changsheng said quietly.

Only by building foundation can you ignore most obstacles and kill the opponent.

This is true for both Lu Changsheng and Zhu Qing.

"What if Zhu Qing agreed under false pretenses?"

"It just depends on each person's methods."

Lu Changsheng said.

Zhu Qing may be faster than him in building the foundation, but he is confident enough to ensure the safety of the Lu Mansion.

The departure of the alchemy masters supported by the alchemy shop did not have much impact on the Lu family. Originally, due to the rampage of evil cultivators such as Taoist Hongyun, various alchemy shops had begun to cut back on food and clothing and sell various elixirs in limited quantities. Correspondingly, each alchemy shop The selling prices of elixir-like drugs are rising actively.

The low-level monks are used to spending their money by breaking a spiritual stone in half. Naturally, they don't want to be taken advantage of. They would rather not go out and practice less than use it to buy elixirs at this moment.

This resulted in a very abundant inventory of elixirs in the elixir shop.

It doesn't matter if there are no new elixirs refined for a while.

He continued to practice the barbaric armor technique with the help of the puppet beast.

However, as time went by, he had already anticipated that the peace talks might not be possible.

"In that case, let's see who has stronger means!"

Lu Changsheng's upper body was bare and he let the black water black snake's tail slap him, his eyes became a little sharp.

In the Great Yuan Realm, he and the Empress should have had an unfinished confrontation. This time, they can continue!

······

At the same time, in a tent outside Baijingxian City, Zhu Qing with a cold expression looked at Wang Futian who left with an ugly expression.

There is neither sadness nor joy on his face.

"How can the hatred of blocking the road be so easily brushed aside?"

For her, the Zhu family is her protector. According to her plan, she will reach the peak of cultivation with the help of the Zhu family in the future.

I never thought that it would be destroyed by Lu Changsheng and his party.

In this way, it is naturally regarded as a hatred for blocking the road. (End of chapter)
