The woman didn't mean to look down on him, but her smile became even brighter.

"I also know that Xiaohangufang City is quite far away from here. I wonder who else is in my friend's family?"

The woman's words gave Lu Changsheng the feeling that she was inquiring about his family background.

Lu Changsheng looked at the shy female cultivators next to him.

Her facial features cannot be called good-looking, but can only be described as delicate.

If that's just the case, that's fine. He, Old Lu, has never been a person who cares about appearance. If this person is really virtuous, he can consider letting her be with Lu Changan.

However, there are troubles.

Chang'an has a wife, so if she enters the Lu family with her identity, she will definitely not be willing to be a concubine.

Sure enough, while he was thinking, the woman said, "I wonder what you think of Qu Yan?"

Of course, Lu Changsheng couldn't tell the truth, so he smiled and said, "Miss Qu Yan is naturally good."

There was also a smile on the woman's face.

She told Lu Changsheng some of Qu Yan's advantages, and directly stated her purpose at the end, "This kid Qu Yan told me about Chang'an before, and I am very fond of him. Since fellow Taoist is here today, Now, why don’t we just settle the matter between the two of us?”

The woman picked up the tea cup and took a sip without looking at anyone, but she felt a slight pressure on Lu Changsheng.

"I still need to discuss this matter with Chang'an's mother."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath. The woman in front of him made him feel very uncomfortable at this moment.

From the time she appeared until now, the woman's performance has been perfect. It stands to reason that she would not normally make such a gesture, so it must be a habit engraved in her bones.

Is the daughter raised by such a family tradition really as good as she said?
Lu Changsheng's gaze passed over Qu Yan imperceptibly.

The woman's face darkened slightly, thinking that Lu Changsheng was trying to excuse her.

Since ancient times, men have always made the decision in families, even monks, unless——

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Changsheng already said: "My wife is currently practicing in Fuyun Mountain."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile and said, "So that's the case. Fellow Taoist is really lucky. In this case, we really should discuss it with Chang'an's mother."

There was a hint of envy in her voice.

It's not that there are no female family members, but those have to have a background or strength that surpasses that of men.

But she didn't expect that the situation in Lu Changsheng's family would be like this.

Thinking of himself, he could only rely on the power of the Qu family and become a vassal.

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help showing a little contempt for Lu Changsheng, and even didn't want to say anything.

However, Qu Yan winked at the side, and the woman finally came back to her senses and said: "I have a house. If you don't mind it, you can live here temporarily. When the time comes, you and your wife will discuss it, and you can stay here temporarily." It will be more convenient for everyone to settle down.”

In his heart, he lamented the Qu family's wealth, but he refused the matter.

"If you don't get paid for nothing, forget it."

The woman did not insist and took out a treasure house fairy insect and placed it in front of Lu Changsheng.

"Although the Qu family is not a very powerful family in Baijing Immortal City, there are several late-stage qi-training monks in the clan who can be seen in Fuyun Mountain. Therefore, Chang'an and Qu Yan are well matched."

"There are some spiritual stones in this treasury of fairy insects. Fellow Taoist is in trouble right now, so just take them and use them on time."

Lu Changsheng glanced at Lu Changan and saw that he didn't show much resistance, so he smiled and took the treasure trove of fairy insects.

Multiple friends have multiple roads.

Although there were some things he didn't like about the woman's previous exchanges, he really needed this spiritual stone urgently.

Advancing wages is also a favor, and borrowing money is also a favor. Just pay it back together when you have the chance.

"Then thank you, fellow daoist."

Lu Changsheng said.

"That's right, that matter of residence——"

Before the woman could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng already said: "I have made an appointment with some friends to exchange practice experiences, but I am afraid that I will defeat the lady's good intentions."

When she heard Lu Changsheng calling her wife, the woman was very happy and took Lu Changsheng to have a meal before leaving.

While eating, he also asked Lu Changan again what he thought.

Lu Changan thought for a moment and said, "Miss Qu Yan is a nice person. If she is willing, I don't mind."

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly in his heart.

Chang'an was once keen on officialdom. Not only did he not have any resistance to this marriage-like behavior, but he was somewhat enthusiastic about it.

"The Qu family is a family with two late Qi practitioners. It can be said that they are only one level behind the Zhu family. Miss Qu Yan can rent a store here, which shows that her status in the Qu family is not low. She is married to her. , it is also of great benefit to our Lu family."

Lu Changan was very rational in his heart, which was why he didn't resist when he knew about it.

"Chang'an's temperament is indeed suitable for running a family." Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

but--

"Since you are not disgusted, I will make a decision on this matter for the time being, but I think that Qu Yan and his mother are not good-natured. If I know about your mother, maybe things will change."

Lu Changsheng sighed.

"The only thing we can do now is look at my father." Lu Changan also had a solemn look on his face.

"Don't worry, I already know this in my mind."

Lu Changsheng said.

Seeing that Lu Changan still had a trace of worry on his eyebrows, he took out a jade bottle and handed it over.

"This is--"

Lu Changan looked at him puzzled.

"You can help me deal with the elixir that was just released two days ago."

Fresh out of the oven?

Lu Changan's pupils narrowed slightly, and then he looked at Lu Changsheng with some surprise.

Although the two brothers have a natural admiration and belief in Lu Changsheng, unlike Lu Ziyou, the relatively more rational Lu Changan also understood the difficulty of refining elixirs and pills. It is almost impossible to pass the assessment of Baiyundong Mansion.

During this period, it was basically all input and no output.

This is the first time.

Lu Changan took several deep breaths and looked at Lu Changsheng with a hint of admiration.

He knew that his father would never joke with them about such a thing, so it naturally happened.

"I tell you this in advance so that you can have peace of mind. If you encounter any difficulties, don't give in."

Lu Changsheng's words were serious and thoughtful.

The feeling that the Qu family's mother and daughter gave him was not a good one, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only let Lu Changan handle it by himself.

······
"After passing the assessment, with the Baiyun Cave Mansion behind me, I will have some foothold. In this way, there will be room for other things to change."

Lu Changsheng temporarily rented a room near the housing complex, which cost a lot of money.

But the fairy city is indeed a fairy city, and with the spirit gathering array in the practice room, the speed of practice has been increased.

"This spirit-gathering formation is also a practice variable. Unlike martial arts, the immortal way has higher and more complex environmental requirements."

"Elixirs, spiritual veins, formations, magic weapons, etc., will all cause variables in my practice speed."

He glanced at the eye screen panel and continued to practice in the practice room.

When he felt full all over, he walked out of the practice room. Looking at the Five Wood Immortal Technique on the light screen panel, he saw that the entrance time had changed.

"Immortal Technique: Five Wood Immortal Technique: The first level takes 2 days.

The second level takes 12 years.

The third level takes 39 years.

The first level is considered the entry level, corresponding to the level of Qi training.

Qi training immortal methods generally have nine levels, and each layer corresponds to a level of Qi training realm.

Lu Changsheng had already entered the first level of the Immortal Qi Training Realm with the Five Elements True Body Technique, the root method. Therefore, practicing the first level of the Five Wood Immortal Technique was also more effective with half the effort.

"When this training room was not used, the time required for the first level was 8 days. Now, it has been reduced by so many days."

Lu Changsheng felt emotional in his heart.

As for the second and third levels, due to the limitation of spiritual root talent, we can only look forward to it.

"Fifty years of talent at a small level is really a long time ago."

Lu Changsheng continued to practice hard.

As the day of the assessment gets closer, there is also some kind of excitement in Baijingxian City, and people wearing hats can often be seen walking on the streets.

Lu Changsheng was no longer a novice who didn't know anything. He knew that it was an alchemist's hat. At first glance, it looked like a turban, with a thin strap hanging from the back to his waist.

"Refining elixir will cause hair loss!"

Lu Changsheng was silent for a moment and walked into a restaurant.

Today, Niu Xi made an appointment with him here, and there were more than a dozen fellow practitioners who participated in alchemy.

However, Lu Changsheng was the first to arrive.

"Friend Lu, this way!"

Niu Xi stood in front of the private room of the restaurant. When he saw Lu Changsheng, he quickly raised his hand to greet him.

Lu Changsheng took a look and saw that there was no one worthy of attention inside. There were only a few good-looking actors playing the pipa gently.

"Are the other fellow Taoists here yet?"

"No rush, it's still early."

Lu Changsheng stood in front of the door and chatted with Niu Xi. He learned that his attitude had changed this time because Zhu Bei had gained a lot from this assessment, which greatly stimulated him, so he spent a lot of time. I specially arranged this banquet because I also wanted to move the battlefield like Zhu Bei.

"Let me tell you, you can cheer up later. Among the people taking this assessment, these more than ten people can also squeeze into the middle level. If you build a good relationship with them, you will definitely benefit greatly in the future."

Lu Changsheng nodded in approval.

Alchemy masters are the birthplace of resources, and if they leak out just a few, ordinary casual cultivators can benefit a lot.

Although these people cannot be called alchemists yet, the possibility is definitely not low.

As time passed, finally, people came one after another.

Niu Xi also introduced each other happily.

However, not long after, Lu Changsheng keenly noticed something was wrong.

As the time came, less than half of the dozen people Niu Xi mentioned came. Seeing this, some other people looked at Niu Xi with a hint of dissatisfaction.

It's just that you eat people with soft lips and take soft hands with others.

All the wine and food in front of you have been arrived, and the wine is a first-class wine. Although it is not a spiritual wine, it is still a second-class wine.

Lu Changsheng also tasted something similar to fruit wine. If ordinary Qi warriors drank it, it would be of great benefit to their practice.

The dishes are also excellent, and several of the main dishes are cooked with the meat of exotic animals, which is full of color, flavor and flavor.

There is also a green vegetable with lingering whiteness, which is quite extraordinary. This is a famous dish in Baibaijingxian City - Green Mountain Green Vegetable.

Worth 66 low-grade spiritual stones.

During this meal, Niu Xi dropped at least 100 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, which was definitely a huge investment.

When eating this food, no matter how much dissatisfaction you feel, it is still bearable.

Lu Changsheng guessed that apart from eating and drinking, the purpose of these people coming here was probably because of those alchemists. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and looked at Niu Xi, who looked very unhappy.

If this point has not come, it will probably never come again.

"If you have a destiny, don't ask for it. Fellow Taoist Niu still wants to be more open-minded. In my opinion, everyone here is also a first-class alchemy master. Even if you fail this test, you will still be able to find a path in the alchemy path in the future."

"Haha, I borrowed the words from Lu Daoyouji."

Someone is carrying the sedan chair.

Everyone's atmosphere suddenly brightened, and they no longer thought about other things. After all, there was no point in thinking about it. It was better to enjoy the moment.

During this period, everyone was drinking and inevitably talked about this assessment.

Lu Changsheng listened quietly, saying something from time to time to dig out more information.

Soon, the banquet dispersed, and Lu Changsheng and Niu Xi said goodbye and left.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for speaking out just now."

Niu Xi said seriously.

Just now, he was affected by the fact that the main guests did not come, and he almost neglected the others. Fortunately, Lu Changsheng reminded him in time, otherwise, all the things he had worked hard to achieve would be completely in vain.

"This matter is an opportunity that an elder in the clan who supports me asked for on my behalf. If this is completely screwed up, I'm afraid that elder will be implicated."

Niu Xi looked sad.

His main target this time was the few people who didn't come, and the others, including Lu Changsheng, were just foils.

Flowers need to be set off by green leaves to feel superior. Niu Xi has been in the spiritual world for many years, so he naturally knows this rule.

Therefore, banquets have always been hierarchical.

If they are all from the same class, it is not a banquet but a discussion meeting.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. You've helped me a lot during this period."

Lu Changsheng laughed.

He could vaguely guess why Niu Xi invited him here, but he thought it was harmless.

In fact, there is not much friendship between the two, so they must communicate with interests as the core point.

What makes Lu Changsheng satisfied is that Niu Xi has a good bottom line in this regard and is a person with whom he can have close friendships.

"I wonder where your friend lives now?"

Niu Xi suddenly said.

Lu Changsheng didn't think much and told Niu Xi the location.

"I'll chat with you later. Is it convenient for you, Daoist Lu?"

"Of course it's convenient." Lu Changsheng was a little surprised. Looking at Niu Xi's expression, he seemed to have something to say to himself.

This made him a little curious.

But an hour later, Lu Changsheng saw Niu Xi again, and unexpectedly the other party said something that made him feel a little happy and surprised.

"The assessment will be held in two days. Since fellow Taoists want to take part, I have some experience here. I don't know if you will dislike it or not?" Niu Xi's expression was serious, which was completely different from the sloppy and casual look he saw at the beginning. .

After the previous scene, he completely accepted Lu Changsheng and became his friend.

"Very good!" Lu Changsheng smiled.

The two immediately sat on the floor of the room to exchange their alchemy experiences.
