I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 225 Autumn Wind Island Owner

Two hours later.

Lu Changan took the spirit boat of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce and flew out of Guri Fairy City, an important town on the border of Jing Kingdom.

There are six monks on the spirit boat, three of them are in the foundation building stage.

In addition to Lu Changan, Xia Mingqu, and the old man with a mustache who met on the spirit ship, the latter is a late-stage foundation builder.

Xia Mingqu called this person "Chenbo".

At first, Lu Changan thought it was some elder of the Xia family.

After Xia Mingqu's introduction, Lu Chang'an learned that this person's name was Wu Chen, and he was an elder of the Veterans Association of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the other party is one of the Wufu families, the patriarch of the Wu family.

In the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, the Wu family and the Xia family have a close relationship and have intermarried with each other.

In the following two or three days, the other three qi refining monks on the flying boat landed in Fangshi halfway, where there was a shop of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

"Uncle Chen, there is no need to send it away. My nephew has the confidence to bring Fellow Daoist Wu back to the clan."

The sound transmission of Xia Mingqu.

The flying boat has arrived near the clan site where Elder Wu Chen is located, and if he goes to the Xia clan site, he won't be on his way.

"It can't go around very far! Anyway, I have nothing to do, so it doesn't matter if I walk for two more days."

Wu Chen glanced at Lu Changan, and said via voice transmission.

Six days later.

The flying boat arrived at Qingsha Bay on the Changhong River in the southeastern region of Jing Kingdom.

Lu Chang'an sensed a powerful inspiration, clearly surpassing Wu Qishan.

Passing through the phantom array filled with water and mist, the flying boat entered the hinterland of Qingshawan, where the Xia clan is located.

Inlets, river beaches, small islands, Wushan, various beautiful and natural terrains, relying on medium-sized second-order top-grade spiritual veins, construct a water landscape with beautiful mountains and rivers, and grass growing and warblers flying.

The hinterland of the family is surrounded by a quasi-third-order formation.

"Young Master." In the Xia Clan, the patrolling monks flew over.

"Nephew Xia Xian, I'm leaving first."

Elder Wu Chen didn't stay at the Xia Clan's land, he left with peace of mind after delivering Lu Chang'an and the two of them.

...

"Fellow Daoist Wu welcomes you."

Xia Mingqu took Lu Changan to the hinterland of the family.

The monks from the Xia family who met on the road looked at Lu Changan curiously, but his reaction was mediocre.

Lu Changan's alias is "Wu Fan", and his appearance and temperament are not outstanding. He is a relatively down-to-earth middle-aged man with a round face and yellow beard.

The young female cultivator of the Xia clan just glanced at him, not interested in discussing it.

After a while.

Lu Changan followed Xia Mingqu to a dangerous peak with a waterfall.

This place is the area with the strongest aura in the Xia Clan's world, almost reaching the level of quasi-third-order spiritual veins.

"Water curtain cave?"

Lu Changan glanced at the cave behind the waterfall, and there were three ancient inscriptions engraved on the stone tablet next to it.

"Wu Daoyou wait a moment, I will report to the patriarch."

Xia Mingqu explained, and entered the Water Curtain Cave.

Not long after, Xia Mingqu left and returned, bringing Lu Changan into the Water Curtain Cave.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, there are clusters of stalagmites, dotted with luminous pearls like stars.

In a stone temple.

Lu Chang'an met Xia Hongyu, the most senior patriarch of the Xia family.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, let's talk alone."

Xia Hongyu was over two hundred years old, his body was like a jade tree, and his face was handsome. At first glance, he was less than forty years old.

This fake alchemy real person only has a little gray hair on the temples. When you get close to him, you will feel a sense of vicissitudes of time.

Lu Changan understood that he had met a monk who was also good at health preservation, and his cultivation level was even higher.

"Just now I heard from a famous song that Fellow Daoist Wu is a casual cultivator from Liang Guoxiu's Immortal Realm, and he came from Huanglong Immortal City?"

Xia Hongyu said curiously.

A pair of indifferent eyes fell on Lu Changan's face.

"Exactly."

Lu Chang'an noticed the subtle spiritual fluctuations, and there was a strange light in the depths of the eyes of this fake alchemy real person.

If it is a normal disguise and bone shrinking technique, even if the disguise is highly skilled, it will show its flaws under the deliberate exploration of the secret technique by the fake real person.

"Decades ago, Xia had been to Huanglong Immortal City, and even had a relationship with the 'Huanglong Immortal' of your country."

With a smile on her face, Xia Hongyu looked away and changed the topic to Huanglong Immortal City.

During the conversation, Lu Changan discovered that this person really had a certain understanding of Huanglong Immortal City.

Not only has he met the real Huanglong, but he also knows a thing or two about important figures in the Huanglong Mountain lineage, such as Ji Yifeng and Fu Xuemei.

Fortunately, Lu Chang'an was indeed a casual cultivator in Huanglong Immortal City, and he answered Xia Hongyu's temptations perfectly.

"My alchemy skills have only been promoted to the second level in recent years. At that time, Huanglong Xiancheng was in turmoil, and Wu left that place of right and wrong ahead of time."

Lu Changan supplemented his identity.

Now is the time of war, it is somewhat troublesome to check the identity of an ordinary foundation-building casual cultivator across the country.

There are many casual cultivators in Huanglong Immortal City, it is impossible to find out the information of every foundation cultivator, there will always be some people who hide their identities and keep a low profile.

But if it is a Tier 2 alchemist, it is different, it is relatively easy to check.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you will need to take care of the refining of some common second-tier pills in the chamber of commerce or in the clan. Of course, your mission is mainly in the clan, and it is best to bring along alchemy apprentices."

Xia Hongyu was basically relieved of Lu Changan's identity after probing with secret techniques and chatting.

The important thing is that Lu Changan also signed a second-order spirit contract.

If the contract is breached, the price will be extremely high, and it will be difficult to move forward in Jing country's immortal cultivation world.

"Patriarch Xia, don't worry, I will abide by the contract. However, Wu's alchemy is only a minor, and his cultivation cannot be shaken, so he can only devote part of his energy to alchemy."

In the spiritual contract that Lu Changan signed before, there is a certain limit on the number of alchemy.

Beyond the basic alchemy tasks, normal rewards will be charged. If the quantity is too large, there is also the right to raise the price or refuse.

Hearing Lu Changan's bargaining, Xia Hongyu didn't get angry, but became more at ease.

Protecting his own interests shows that Lu Changan intends to fulfill the contract and has a certain degree of sincerity.

"In this jade tube, there is a second-tier alchemist inheritance, including some alchemy recipes. Daoyou Wu has not long become a second-tier alchemist, so maybe he can learn a thing or two."

During the first negotiation, Xia Hongyu gave a meeting gift, hoping to win over Lu Changan.

The alchemy inheritance he took out is only a low-rank second-tier alchemist, which is somewhat beneficial to the newly promoted second-tier alchemist. There will be a higher level of inheritance in the future.

However, Lu Changan has actually been a second-tier alchemist for several years, and he does not lack alchemy inheritance.

"Currently, there are two ashrams in the clan area, which are suitable for fellow Daoist Wu to practice. Later, let the famous song take you there to have a look."

After Xia Hongyu finished explaining, he called Xia Mingqu in again.

Xia Mingqu took Lu Changan to the sky over Qingsha Bay, and chose to practice in the dojo.

...

Lu Changan observed the terrain and rejected the first dojo recommended by Xia Mingqu. It was located in the hinterland of the family, and the aura environment reached the second-level top-grade.

"Wu likes to be clean, and the location of 'Autumn Wind Island' is more suitable for my appetite."

Lu Changan looked towards the wide water bay, where several small islands and islets were dotted here and there, judging from the shape, some of them were man-made islands.

Among them, a small island with the most remote location and more turbulent water flow is called "Autumn Wind Island".

This small island has a radius of less than two miles, and there are large stretches of orange-leaved spirit trees planted on it.

The aura of heaven and earth is not as good as the first dojo, but the aura of wood is stronger.

"Autumn Wind Island?"

Xia Mingqu hesitated a little, but finally said nothing, and flew towards Qiufeng Island with Lu Changan.

Qiufeng Island is covered by formations, and it seems that there are people living inside.

"Aunt Wenyue."

Xia Mingqu called out outside, and punched in a sound transmission talisman.

See Lu Changan showing doubts.

He explained: "This dojo is temporarily taken care of by an elder from the Mingqu clan."

Waited a moment.

The formation of Autumn Wind Island was activated, and a weak girl wearing a light blue veil skirt and eyebrows like Qingdai flew out.

"Mingqu, are you here?"

The girl coughed lightly, Ruyu's face turned sickly pale.

Her star-like eyes looked at Lu Changan anxiously.

There is a faint sadness between the brows, as if there is a light smoke, and there is an indescribable tenderness and weakness.

Surprise appeared in Lu Changan's eyes, Xia Mingqu called her "aunt", and he thought it was an older woman.

From the perspective of Shouyuan, the girl is probably a few rounds younger than Xia Mingqu.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the Xiuxian family.

For example, the ancestor Zhu Ji was over a hundred years old, and he found a young woman to be his concubine, and the offspring he gave birth to would be of high seniority.

"Aunt Wenyue, this is a foundation-establishment cultivator who has just joined the family, Master Wu Dan."

Xia Mingqu introduced.

"I've met Master Wu Dan." Xia Wenyue curtsied her knees and gave a quick glance at the plain-looking middle-aged man with a round face.

"From now on, Qiufeng Island will be Danshi Wu's dojo."

"Ok, I know."

Xia Wenyue lowered her head, biting her lower lip with her white teeth, and replied softly.

Xia Mingqu couldn't bear it, sighed secretly, and smiled at Lu Changan:

"Master Wu Dan, I'll take you in for a look."

Xia Wenyue froze in place, with tears in her eyes, watching the two of them step into Autumn Wind Island.

Lu Changan looked at the island under his feet. There was a garden compound in the central area. The buildings inside were elegant and exquisite, which looked like a dojo used by nuns.

At the back of the garden compound, there is a deep pool with a radius of more than ten feet, which is suitable for Xuanshui turtles to inhabit.

Lu Changan looked around, this fresh and quiet style was more to his liking.

"Young Master Xia, what is the relationship between this dojo and the girl just now?"

Lu Changan did not make a hasty decision.

Ask first whether there are any controversies left over from history.

"Aunt Wenyue's mother is my aunt according to her seniority. She was an elder of the family and made great contributions to the Xia Clan and the Chamber of Commerce. Ten years ago, she suffered a misfortune..."

"According to the family rules, the descendants of the elders in the foundation building period can only live in the Taoist cave for five years at most. Remembering the old feelings, the patriarch let Aunt Wenyue live here for more than ten years. Of course, in the next few years, I will take care of her. In the name of the dojo."

"You can rest assured, Fellow Daoist Wu, there are no problems left in this ashram. Aunt Wenyue is a sensible person, and she won't have any complaints."

After listening to Xia Mingqu's statement, Lu Changan nodded and did not search too much.

He just felt that Xia Mingqu didn't want to talk about Xia Wenyue's mother in detail.

In addition, Xia Wenyue followed her mother's surname, and Xia Mingqu did not mention her biological father.

...

Enter the garden mansion in the center of Autumn Wind Island.

Lu Changan saw some household objects and clothing used by the nuns.

"Master Wu Dan, can you give the little girl half an hour to tidy up the things in the house."

Xia Wenyue followed, her pale and sickly jade face showed a faint blush, and she frantically packed her personal belongings.

Naturally, Lu Changan didn't feel embarrassed, and walked out of the garden mansion together with Xia Mingqu.

Lu Chang'an discovered that the spirit vein environment of this island is, on the surface, a second-order medium-grade. But the deep pool in the center seems to be connected to the earth veins, and the aura is very active.

If you set up a spirit-gathering array and put in spirit stones, you can reach the second-level top-grade.

"Master Wu Dan, Aunt Wenyue has stayed in this dojo for a long time, and she has entrusted her with special feelings. Can you consider letting her be the housekeeper or maid of this place, and it will be easier to take care of it."

Xia Mingqu asked for help.

Although Xia Wenyue is a qi-training cultivator, her aptitude is not very good, but as the daughter of the late elder, the current people are actually a little bit wronged.

However, this was Xia Wenyue's own request.

If one day, Qiufeng Island becomes the dojo of a certain elder, she hopes to stay here, even for the present.

Lu Changan wondered: "Wu always likes to be quiet, but just arrived at the Xia Clan's land, so I don't know many things. It's better to think about the candidate for this maid in the future."

"The famous song is abrupt."

Xia Mingqu smiled apologetically and did not force it.

He thought that Lu Changan was worried about Xia Wenyue's identity, or he didn't want the maid assigned by the family.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu for becoming the new owner of Autumn Wind Island."

Xia Mingqu didn't stay for too long, so he bid farewell and left.

Waited another quarter of an hour.

The figure of Xia Wenyue and Liu Fufeng came out from the mansion.

"Master Wu Dan."

The girl's face became paler, she forced a smile at Lu Chang'an, bowed and left reluctantly.

Lu Changan unfolded his consciousness to check the condition of this woman.

Xia Wenyue's body is cold and weak, and she has a root cause of illness. In fact, she is not suitable for living on an island with high humidity.

...

On the same day, Lu Changan started planning and setting up his dojo.

Lu Changan didn't plan to move the island's own formation and spirit-gathering formation, as the outer formations covered the entire Qiufeng Island.

Centering on the mansion and the cold pool behind it, he planned to rearrange his formation.

Before leaving Little Turtle Peak, Lu Changan removed all the core parts of the original quasi-third-order formation.

This was originally a formation arranged by Fairy Shi.

Now, he plans to move the core of this formation to the mansion on Qiufeng Island.

The quasi-third-order formation is somewhat high-profile.

Lu Changan divided it into light and dark layers.

The bright array is a second-tier high-grade array; the dark array has a stronger concealing effect.

The double combination of light and dark is the quasi-third order.

With this formation, no one in the Xia family could pry into the privacy of Lu Changan's cave.

Ten days later.

Lu Changan's formation in the new dojo was initially completed.

The deep pool on the back side of the mansion was incorporated into the formation.

Xuan water turtles live in deep pools every day. If there is a visitor, the Xuanshui turtle's ability to hold its breath and hold its breath will dive to the bottom of the deep pool and cover it with the help of formations, making it difficult for ordinary real people to find it.

As for the rock rat, it is currently staying in the mansion or underground, quietly practicing the shape-changing technique.

When the spells have been cultivated to a certain level, they will change to the image of a rat species and work on the island.

In fact, ground rock rats are not considered the blood of rare species.

As long as it doesn't appear at the same time as the Xuanshui Turtle, and happens to meet the monks from Liang Guo, Lu Chang'an's identity will not be easily revealed.

"Mysterious wood gourd vine, if you want to really grow, it's best to take root. Well, you have to find a hidden and safe place, study it slowly, don't rush it..."

"Jing country's world of cultivating immortals is well-developed in commerce and trade. It should be easier than Liang country to buy longevity pills, materials for quasi-third-order puppets."

"The ground rock mouse has cultivated to the peak of the second order, and after it stabilizes in the country of Jing, we have to plot pills for it."

"In addition, we must keep an eye on Liang Guoxiu's war in the immortal world, including information about Master Xianzi, ancient ruins, and Jinyangzong..."

When he first came to the country of Jing, Lu Changan had many plans for the future.

It's just that they haven't established a firm foothold yet, are not familiar with the surrounding environment, and have insufficient contacts, so it is not appropriate to act too hastily.

...

a month later.

Lu Chang'an got used to his new identity as an external monk of the Xia Clan and the owner of Qiufeng Island, and spent the first month in Jing Country peacefully and safely.

Soon, Xia's first batch of alchemy materials were delivered to his residence.

In fact, Wufu Chamber of Commerce has a second-rank top-rank alchemist enshrined, but he is old, has limited energy, and the supply of alchemy exceeds demand.

The Xia Clan also trained a new generation alchemist, but he betrayed the family and was poached away.

Lu Changan's arrival was mainly to refine ordinary second-order elixir, and help relieve the pressure on the demand for second-order elixirs.

It would be best if he could train and teach alchemy apprentices.

The art of alchemy is very particular about talent and understanding. If there is only inheritance and no alchemist's guidance, it will be very difficult to find out by yourself.

Normal updates will resume after the May Day holiday. .

(On holidays, I accompanied my wife and children to play in my mother’s house in Wuhan, and planned to use my mobile phone to code. As a result, in a different place, sleeping and code words were very uncomfortable, so I simply relaxed for two days.)
