Chapter 239 Erqing's Wish

Lu Changan was not surprised at all when the rock rat spoke.

The monsters in the world usually need to cultivate to the fourth level before they can truly transform.

However, if they can only speak human language, the difficulty is much lower.

The third-level big monster, comparable to humans in forming pills, refines the transverse bone in the throat, and lives with them day and night, it is natural for them to comprehend human language.

Some unpopular spiritual elixirs also have this effect, which can make monsters speak in advance.

A few special monsters can even speak human language at the first or second level.

"Xuemeishan Li family..."

Lu Changan took the letter handed over by the rock rat and saw the plum blossom mark on the family emblem. It really came from the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

The helmsman of the Xuemeishan Li family, "Li Congren", is the most promising grandson of Li Erqing. His family is close to the border of Liang Kingdom and has had business dealings with the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce in his early years.

Ten years ago, Lu Changan sneaked into Jing Kingdom through Li Congren's relationship.

This letter was sent by Li Congren through the channel of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was reinforced with special prohibitions.

"Four years ago, I restored Lu Chang'an's identity in the Xia clan. At first, the New Moon Chamber of Commerce investigated his identity in Liang State, which also alarmed the Xuemeishan Li family..."

After reading the previous part of the letter, Lu Chang'an understood the general reason.

Nowadays, the Xuemeishan Li family has a bigger business, established a family chamber of commerce, and has closer exchanges with the Jing State Chamber of Commerce.

Due to deliberate attention, Li Congren learned about Lu Chang'an's specific whereabouts in Jing State two years ago.

This letter was not Li Congren's personal will, but also the instruction of Li Erqing of the Feiyue Lake Mu family.

Li Erqing was extremely excited when he learned about the whereabouts of Brother Lu, and asked Li Congren to try to send a letter to contact.

War preparations between the two countries can be circulated. As long as you have a relationship in the Chamber of Commerce and know the specific location of the target, you can send a letter to contact.

However, cross-border letters take a long time to communicate, and there are unstable factors.

…

“The year I sneaked out of Liang State, Zhao Siyao took inferior crystal-forming pills and ordinary pill-forming spiritual objects to achieve the status of a fake pill.”

Many people and things mentioned in the letter are what Lu Changan is more concerned about.

“A few years later, the Qingming Secret Realm was opened, and the enemy's foundation-building cultivators opened a temporary passage, taking the opportunity to kill and compete for natural treasures.”

“At that time, Zhao Siyao's female disciple ‘Zhao Tan'er’ cultivated to the late stage of foundation-building and gained a lot in the Qingming Secret Realm.”

“The mountain keeper ‘Qifeng’ of Xiaogui Peak was taken care of by the helmsman of the beast-controlling Zhou family, Master Fairy and others, and was promoted to the foundation-building stage two years ago. This person regards himself as a ‘mountain keeper’, takes care of Xiaogui Peak, and opens a small escort organization…”

“The Jinyang Sect of Feng State occupies half of the spiritual veins of Liang State. It needs to consolidate its results and territory, and slow down the pace of aggression. Liang State Sect The sect is centered on the "Lihuo Palace" and is fully committed to defending the other half of the territory. "

"Many immortal cultivation forces in Liang State lost their spiritual veins and were forced to open up wasteland in the Black Mist Mountains. Some scattered cultivators followed the crowd and smuggled to Jing State. There were also a few cultivators who fled further north, crossed the Feisha Heavenly Ravine, and went to Fengyuan State. "

"The Mu family of Feiyue Lake is now located in the territory occupied by Feng State. Fortunately, with the care of Mu Jiuan, the Mu family presented the anti-aging pill to the female relatives of the Jinyang Sect's senior officials, and thus received the treatment of safe surrender. "

After reading most of this transnational letter, Lu Changan felt a little relieved.

Zhao Siyao and Li Erqing, who had the deepest friendship with him, are still alive.

Even the descendants of his adoptive father took the foundation-building pill left by him on Xiaogui Peak and successfully built their foundation.

At the end of the letter, Li Erqing relayed his concern for Lu Changan.

Li Erqing has a wish: I hope to see Lu Changan again in my lifetime.

"Li Erqing fought with the cultivators of Fengguo a few years ago and was seriously injured. He can only live to 200 years old at most."

Lu Changan thought of the details mentioned in the letter and could understand Li Erqing's pessimism.

The war of immortal cultivation is shrouded in the dark clouds. For ordinary foundation-building cultivators in the two major immortal cultivation countries, their remaining life span is several decades and they may never come back.

Li Erqing and the Mu family are now in the Jinyang Sect camp. Even with Mu Jiuan's care, they may not be spared and may still participate in the war.

Therefore, Lu Changan did not dare to be sure whether he could see Li Erqing again in this life.

However, he gave a positive answer in his reply:

"Brother is in Jingguo, everything is fine. Just wait for the future to impact the Dan, no matter success or failure, I will eventually return to Liangguo's homeland."

Lu Changan wrote a reply, set a ban, and asked the rock rat to pass it to Xia Wenyue.

Wufu Chamber of Commerce has a place in the Chamber of Commerce, and every year there are cultivators who go to Liang State to help deliver letters.

He is now a worshiper of the Xia clan, so he doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters himself.

...

Three months later.

During his cultivation, Lu Changan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the hinterland of Qingsha Bay.

Not long ago, he sensed that Xia Hongyu, the patriarch of the Xia clan, had left the clan.

This situation is extremely rare in the years since he settled in Qiufeng Island.

A few days later, Lu Changan and Xia Wenyue chatted and learned that the patriarch Xia Hongyu personally went to the headquarters of Wufu Chamber of Commerce to take charge.

"It seems that the Xia clan's control over Wufu Chamber of Commerce is insufficient, and the ancestor of the clan, Fake Dan, has to leave the clan and go to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Xiancheng."

Today's Wufu merchants are facing external and internal troubles, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The suppression of the hostile force "New Moon Chamber of Commerce" attempts to encroach on the industry of Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

Internally, the Xin tribe, one of the Five Fortunes, gave birth to the fake Dan Zhenren, and was once supported by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Changan could probably guess the purpose of the clan leader Xia Hongyu going to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

If the Xin tribe could not be subdued, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce would be split.

"The old guy finally left. Now I can go to get spiritual energy without worry."

The happiest person about the departure of clan leader Xia Hongyu was the ground rock rat.

The spiritual environment of Xia Hongyu's water curtain cave was comparable to the quasi-third level. Every time it went to get spiritual energy, it had to be careful to hide underground.

Now that Xia Hongyu was gone, the ground rock rat felt more comfortable.

Lu Changan didn't care about the internal fighting of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

Even if a bad situation occurred, the Xia clan would lose a lot of industries if they failed in the fight.

Due to the constraints of the Chamber of Commerce, the high-end combat power of the major chambers of commerce were more restrained in fighting.

If they were defeated in a normal fight, the Xia clan would definitely cut off their tails to survive and keep the Qingshawan clan land.

As long as the clan land was still there, it would not affect Lu Changan's practice.

After the clan leader Xia Hongyu left, Qingshawan obviously strengthened the formation protection of the clan land, and the number of patrolling monks was also more than before.

In addition to Lu Changan, Qingshawan also has three clan elders in the foundation-building period.

Among them, he is more familiar with the young master Xia Mingqu, and Xia Shenglan who has been rescued.

Including Lu Changan, Qingshawan has four foundation-building monks on the surface. With the help of the clan protection formation, even if the fake Dan Zhenren attacks, it is difficult to break through head-on.

...

More than half a year later.

Lu Changan is preparing to go out in the near future.

On the one hand, the third-level beast pills needed for the cultivation of the rock rat have been used up.

On the other hand, Xia Wenyue's cultivation is getting smoother and smoother. Not long ago, he cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Xia Wenyue's innate Taoist body of "Hanpo Yusui", Lu Changan searched through the ancient books of the Xia clan, but could not find relevant information.

Lu Changan plans to purchase third-level beast pills and look for detailed records of "Hanpo Yusui".

In addition, he refined several foundation-building pills, three of which were inferior, so he could consider selling them appropriately.

"Mr. Lu, there is a distinguished guest in the clan who came to ask for medicine."

Xia Wenyue, who was wearing a plain skirt and had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, came in to report to Lu Changan.

After two years of care by Lu Changan, Xia Wenyue's condition has stabilized and she can practice normally. Her pale face has also regained some color.

In Qingsha Bay today, Xia Wenyue is the real number one beauty, and there are many matchmakers who come to propose marriage.

"Distinguished guest? Is it the friend of Young Master Xia?"

Lu Changan swept his consciousness and found that outside the mansion, there was a female foundation-building cultivator in a pink skirt, standing there, waiting for the report.

This woman has a beautiful appearance and a pair of sparkling autumn water eyes, as if she is communicating with her eyebrows.

"Yes, this senior is called 'Yu Qin'. She fell in love with the young master many years ago and almost became a Taoist couple. Later, Senior Yu Qin joined the Jing State Sect 'Yunxia Mountain', and the relationship between the two sides gradually faded."

Lu Changan has heard about the female guest who recently arrived in Qingsha Bay.

"Since they have broken up, why did this Miss Yu Qin find Young Master Xia again?"

"I heard that this Miss Yu recently encountered troubles, was expelled from the sect, and her family fell into poverty. She asked the young master for help. The young master may have agreed to take her in for a while because of their old relationship."

"Well, let her in."

Lu Changan was not interested in Young Master Xia's private affairs, and waved his hand for Xia Wenyue to bring her in.

"My concubine Yu Qin, meet Mr. Lu."

Yu Qin bowed gently, her eyes moving, giving people a kind of tender and charming attraction.

"What medicine does Daoyou Yu want?"

Lu Changan exchanged a few words of greeting and got straight to the point.

"I was injured many years ago and left with a hidden disease. I suffer from uterine cold every month. I heard that Mr. Lu is proficient in the art of medicine and is good at recuperation, so I came here to ask for a prescription for recuperation."

"Uterine cold? Recuperation prescription?"

Lu Changan was secretly alert.

He had just stabilized Xia Wenyue's condition in the past two years. This woman came to him for medicine on the grounds of uterine cold?

Could it be some kind of test?

"Mr. Lu, please feel my pulse?"

Yu Qin took the initiative to wave her sleeves and stepped forward, revealing her white wrists as white as jade, and glanced at Xia Wenyue lightly.

Xia Wenyue left the room tactfully.

Lu Changan stretched out two fingers to help Yu Qin feel the pulse, frowning slightly.

Yu Qin's body was full of fragrance, her eyes were like autumn water, and she looked at him affectionately.

"The pain of uterine cold that Yu Daoyou mentioned is common to normal women every month, so don't worry."

Lu Changan had a blank expression on his face, and casually prescribed a prescription for Yu Qin without charging any consultation fee.

Yu Qin put away the prescription, and seeing Lu Changan looking up to drink tea, she rolled her eyes at him and left in disappointment.

A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Changan's eyes.

There was indeed a hidden disease in Yu Qin's palace, but it was not caused by external forces. If he had not been sensitive, he might not have noticed it.

What did this woman mean by her behavior just now?

At first, Lu Changan suspected that it was related to Xia Wenyue's innate body.

But Yu Qin showed no interest in Xia Wenyue from beginning to end. This woman had a natural repulsion to Xia Wenyue's beauty and temperament.

Test? Temptation?

Lu Changan was not sure and was too lazy to think about it.

He had investigated Yu Qin's cultivation level and found that she was a relatively pure mana in the middle stage of foundation building, nothing special.

"Pay attention to that foreign female cultivator."

Out of caution, Lu Changan instructed the rock rat.

Before leaving, Lu Changan was going to say hello to Young Master Xia and remind him implicitly.

...

That evening.

In Young Master Xia's mansion, there was a faint sound of a woman crying, sounding delicate and helpless.

"You said that when Lu Changan was checking your pulse, he did such obscene things and took advantage of you?"

Xia Mingqu was shocked and said in disbelief.

"That's not right. Fellow Daoist Lu is well-known in the Liang Kingdom. He is not a womanizer in the clan. He even refused Sheng Lan's advances..."

"Hmph! Woohoo... How can Xia Shenglan's beauty be compared to Qin'er? Besides, Lu Changan didn't want to marry the Xia clan and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he rejected Xia Shenglan."

"The situation is different for a vulnerable female cultivator like Qin'er. She was unjustly expelled by the sect, leaving her family in dire straits and helpless. Even if she was taken advantage of by him, she doesn't have to take responsibility."

The tears on Yu Qin's face were like broken pearls, nestling in Xia Mingqu's arms aggrievedly.

Xia Mingqu stared at the beauty in his arms. This was the woman he had lost before. She had taken the initiative to leave him.

Over the years, the relationship may have faded.

But a woman who was once unavailable will still arouse the desire to conquer deep in a man's heart.

"Qin'er, when you go to see him for medical treatment, there will inevitably be physical contact. Are you sensitive?"

"Ugh...you don't believe me anymore? Or do you really think of him as a gentleman?"

Yu Qin stared at him with wide eyes and a bitter and chilling expression.

"You men have the same nature. You were a gentleman back then. But later on, you didn't do anything and fell under someone else's skirt..."

"Okay, stop talking." Xia Mingqu touched his nose and said with a wry smile.

…

The next day, Lu Changan came to visit Young Master Xia.

If he goes out, he is going to remind Xia Mingqu in a subtle way.

It turned out that Xia Mingqu and Yu Qin walked side by side, they were both talented and beautiful, and they were enjoying themselves happily.

Lu Changan couldn't say anything, otherwise he would look like a villain.

He just felt that Yu Qin was a little strange and came to the Xia clan with bad intentions, but there was no adverse evidence.

"Fellow Daoist Lu is now a member of the clan and has a distinguished status. You don't need to inform me personally about such trivial matters as going out."

Xia Mingqu said with a smile, but there was some doubt in his heart.

Last night, Yu Qin just filed a lawsuit against Lu Changan; today the latter asked to go out, which inevitably gave people a feeling of guilty conscience.

Lu Changan told him about his outing, then said goodbye and left.

I had a whole day of revision on the 3rd, and I got a little stuck. It was too late to force me to write, which affected my sleep.
