I Am Evergreen In the World of Cultivating Immortals

  Chapter 74 Problem Elixir

   "Lu Changan, do you dare to say this?"

  The girl in the yellow skirt has a pair of beautiful eyes with a cold light, and as a foundation-building monk, it brings invisible pressure.

   "Senior is right."

  Lu Changan breathed heavily, without arguing or refuting.

  Actually, old and weak Tier 2 spirit beasts have a limited lifespan and are of little value to the Zhou family.

  If enough benefits are exchanged, more spirit beasts can be cultivated, or resources can be used to pile up new second-level spirit beasts, or even foundation-building monks.

   Moreover, the annexation of the Maple Leaf Huang family to the Mu family is not in the interests of the Zhou family.

  Lu Changan doesn't argue, doesn't care about success or failure.

  Zhou Qingxuan was surprised and inexplicably upset:

   "Lu Changan, you overestimated your own status! Back then, a petty favor was not enough."

  Her posture just now was actually trying to manipulate Lu Changan and force the Mu family to pay a greater price.

   "Senior Zhou, is this talisman enough?"

  Lu Changan took out a talisman outlined by ice patterns.

   "Second-rank low-grade talisman, Ice Roar."

  Zhou Qingxuan took this talisman into her hands, took a deep look at Lu Changan, and finally nodded:

"enough."

  A low-grade talisman of the second rank is not very valuable to a foundation-building cultivator.

  But the "Ice Roar" talisman was the advanced talisman that Zhou Qingxuan asked Lu Changan to refine the "Frostfall".

  Lu Changan showed this talisman.

  One is to show off one's own skills, the status is not so low, beyond the ordinary nine levels of Qi refining.

  The second is to remind Zhou Qingxuan that the favor promised back then will not be devalued due to the change of status.

   "Take this token. After the auction, let people from the Mu family come to me."

  Zhou Qingxuan's jade finger popped out a blue light.

  A cyan jade pendant fell into Lu Changan's hands.

   "Thank you Senior Zhou." Lu Changan cupped his hands in gratitude.

   "There is nothing else, you can go."

  Zhou Qingxuan was dull.

  Lu Changan was about to say goodbye when a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

  Zhou Qingxuan owed him a favor, and finally met and talked, this is a rare opportunity!

  In the Beastmaster Zhou's family, Zhou Qingxuan is by no means an ordinary foundation-building elder.

   "Senior Zhou, my ground rock mouse has been stagnant at the peak of the first order for many years, can you sell me a second-order earth spirit pill?"

  Lu Changan said this, and he was ready to be thrown out.

   "Lu Changan, your skin is unusually thick."

  Zhou Qingxuan's complexion was slightly cold, her pretty eyes turned, and she looked at him in disbelief.

   What happened just now, the favor has already been repaid, and Lu Changan actually made an inch of it?

   "Senior Zhou, don't blame me, I—"

  Lu Changan apologized and prepared to leave.

  Zhou Qingxuan interrupted him:

"Second-rank low-grade earth spirit pills can promote the growth of second-rank earth-type monsters. It is helpful for first-rank peak earth-type monsters to be promoted to second-rank. The chance of lower-rank bloodlines is increased by half, middle-rank bloodlines by 10%, and top-rank bloodlines by 10%. One and a half."

   "At the auction, one spirit stone was sold for 2,000. I will give you the price of an acquaintance, 1,600 spirit stones."

  She was very straightforward, and took out a brown medicine bottle.

   "Thank you for your success, senior."

  Lu Changan was overjoyed, no wonder there is a saying: You can eat enough with a thick skin, but you can't eat with a thin skin.

  He took out a bag of spirit stones and bought Zhou Qingxuan's earth spirit pills.

  After completing the transaction.

  Zhou Qingxuan looked impatient, waved her hand and said, "I don't want to see you again."

  …

   Walking out of Zhou Qingxuan's quiet courtyard, Lu Changan got his wish and was in a good mood.

   This trip not only successfully established a line for the Mu family, but also gave the rock mouse a chance to be promoted to the second level.

  Actually, he never thought of trying to advance for the rock mouse before, and he had the mentality of following the fate.

  Medium-grade blood, high or low.

   It is best to be promoted, and if you cannot be promoted, you will fend for yourself.

   It was a flash of inspiration just now, thinking to squeeze the favor owed by Zhou Qingxuan to the limit as much as possible.

  Try boldly, but Zhou Qingxuan agrees to sell rare resources.

  Second-tier low-grade Earth Spirit Pill, it can be regarded as a weakened version of Foundation Establishment Pill for monsters.

  Besides that the effect is worse than that of Zhuji Pill, the Earth Spirit Pill is only helpful to earth monsters, and has certain limitations.

   Therefore, the price is much lower than that of Zhuji Dan.

  …

  The Zhou family's resident mansion, Lu Changan went out.

  Passing through the outer courtyard, I suddenly felt someone's eyes watching me.

  He looked back.

  In the distance, there was a woman in her forties or fifties who was cleaning the courtyard, avoiding his eyes.

  The woman cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and used a broom to sweep the floor instead of cleaning it with magic.

   This is not surprising.

  Many cultivating forces with deep foundations have various specialties, such as not allowing the use of magic to sweep the floor, so as not to fluctuate in mana and interfere with the meditation of the seniors.

  Because the woman turned her head to avoid.

  He caught a quick glimpse of the face of a half-aged woman, with a good foundation, and the melon-seeded face of her youth, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, could be vaguely seen.

Um?

  Lu Changan felt familiar, but he didn't remember where he saw it at the first time.

  This is the territory of the Zhou family, he is not easy to get to the bottom of it, so he quickly adjusted his appearance and body shape, and left the mansion.

   "Lu Changan..."

  The woman sweeping the floor stared blankly at the leaving figure, clutching the broom tightly with both hands.

  For decades, that man's face remained unchanged, indifferent and peaceful.

  Her memory seems to go back to Feiyue Mountain Villa decades ago, where she was matched by the eldest lady and talked with the boy with a foreign surname in the Weeping Willow Pavilion.

  In the field of vision, Lu Changan's back completely disappeared.

  The woman suddenly collapsed, crying and choking.

  Back then, she seemed to be a beautiful woman, marrying the second son of the Zhou family, and her status as a regular wife was considered high.

  She thinks this is the greatest pride in her life.

  However, it was only after she got married that she realized that she was not marrying the second son she believed.

   But another hysterical second son!

   Entering the bridal chamber, I can't help myself, I can only accept the reality.

  The first few years of marriage were fine. The foundation-building monks of the Zhou family cast spells to stabilize her husband's hysteria.

  As time went by, the husband became insane and became seriously ill, often torturing and beating others.

  She gave birth to children in the Zhou family. She had a mission back then, and she had no face to return to the family, so she had to bear the burden of humiliation.

   Trying to avoid her husband is the greatest happiness.

  Even if they come to the residence of Huanglong Immortal City to do some errands as domestic servants.

  Her mourning and howling at this time was not because she hated Lu Changan, but because she made a wrong step back then, and it was hard to look back.

  …

   "It turned out to be her."

  Lu Changan walked out of the Zhou family residence, and suddenly remembered who the woman was.

  He remembered: When Mu Yinglan went back to the family to visit relatives, she deliberately surrounded her yard in a circle, looking like a wealthy lady.

  Why did she become a sweeping woman from a noble lady, and what kind of life changes did she experience?

  Lu Changan is not interested in exploring.

   This is Mu Yinglan's own life choice, and the two are just acquaintances.

  The other party deliberately avoided, obviously not wanting to face him today.

  …

   Half a day later.

  Lu Changan restored his original appearance and returned to Shuiyue Residence.

  In the room, he took out the second-order earth spirit pill in the brown porcelain bottle.

  Dark yellow round pills, as heavy as lead and mercury, with four stripes on the surface, which means that the pill is a second-grade low-grade pill.

   "No!"

   Lu Changan checked carefully, and the smile froze on his face.

  After careful inspection, he found that the inside of this earth spirit pill contained abnormal medicinal properties, which could be regarded as a different kind of erysipelas.

   During the previous transaction, Zhou Qingxuan in the foundation building stage showed impatience.

  He didn't look too closely, and he didn't dare to use his divine sense lightly in front of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

  At that time, Lu Changan confirmed that it was a low-grade second-grade elixir, with four Dao lines, and it was not inferior.

   From the performance point of view, it is the characteristic of Tu Ling Wan.

   "This little girl! The majestic foundation-builder, actually cheated me for a Qi refining period?"

  Lu Changan was a little speechless.

   No wonder Zhou Qingxuan gave such a "affordable" price. It turns out that this is an earth spirit pill with problematic medicinal properties, and it cannot be sold at the normal price.
