Chapter 241: Making Trouble

"My Lord, that human female cultivator..."

After listening to the narration of the rock rat's tender voice, Lu Changan's face showed a strange look.

The rock rat is a great demon of the True Dan level, with a talent for earth escape, a keen sense of smell, and is good at tracking.

During the more than half a month that Lu Changan was away, Yu Qin's every move did not escape the monitoring of the rock rat.

Who this woman negotiates with every day, her cultivation, diet, entertainment, and even what color clothes she wears, everything is monitored clearly.

Lu Changan was also amused. Before leaving, he just told the rock rat to pay attention, but he didn't expect the rat to be so serious.

According to the report of the rock rat, Lu Changan found two suspicious points.

Suspicion 1, Yu Qin privately prepared several herbs, including powder, potion, and perfume.

However, with the sense of smell of the rock rat, no highly toxic things were found.

Suspicion 2, Yu Qin once went out.

The rock rat did not follow her out.

Because Lu Changan asked it to guard Qiufeng Island and look after the black wood gourd vine planted at the bottom of the deep pool.

This matter is of the highest importance and priority.

Lu Changan pondered and said, "Has this girl paid attention to or approached Xia Wenyue?"

Xia Wenyue's innate Dao body contains an opportunity to break through the Yuanying period, but it also comes with unknown risks. Lu Changan instinctively guarded against it.

"No." The rock rat shook his head.

"It seems that Yu Qin's stay and refuge can exclude the secrets of the innate Dao body."

Lu Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, even if this girl's arrival is not well-intentioned, it is at most from the hostile forces of the Xia clan."

Lu Changan didn't know that Yu Qin had framed him in front of Young Master Xia.

During Lu Changan's absence, Yu Qin never said bad things about Lu Changan again, and showed a pitiful and gentle appearance in front of Young Master Xia.

Yu Qin understood the truth that too much is as bad as too little. Even if they once loved each other, Young Master Xia could not completely listen to her.

The plan of alienation cannot be repeated too much, otherwise it will easily reveal its true colors.

Regardless of whether Young Master Xia believes it or not, as long as a trace of doubt is left in his heart, a gap can be created in the relationship between the two.

…

Two days later, Qiufeng Island Mansion.

Lu Changan sent a sound transmission note to meet with Xia Shenglan, the elder of the Xia clan.

As a worshiper of the Xia clan, Lu Changan, since he noticed that Yu Qin had a problem, wanted to remind Young Master Xia.

However, although he has a high status in the clan, he is a cultivator of another surname after all.

Xia Mingqu and Yu Qin once loved each other when they were young, and almost became Taoist couples. Their relationship and feelings are extraordinary.

In terms of friendship, Lu Changan can't compare.

Therefore, he decided to start with Xia Shenglan to avoid embarrassing Young Master Xia.

In terms of seniority, Xia Shenglan is Xia Mingqu's cousin, and she once married into the Xin family, which ranks second in the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

Half an hour later.

A bright and dignified female cultivator in a long aquamarine dress flew to Qiufeng Island.

"It is so rare that Daoist Lu personally invites me. I am flattered and dare not delay even a little."

Xia Shenglan smiled faintly. Although she was polite, she was no longer as close as before.

A few years ago, when Lu Changan had not revealed his identity, he had saved Xia Shenglan's life.

After this woman broke off relations with the Xin family, the Xia clan tried to let her marry Lu Changan and gave her a elixir that could break through the late stage of foundation building.

However, Lu Changan refused the matchmaking of the Xia clan's high-level officials.

After that, the relationship between Lu Changan and Xia Shenglan faded, and at most they were ordinary friends of the same generation of cultivators.

"Shenglan clan elder, you are too serious. I am just an old cultivator of foundation building, not a big shot."

Lu Changan heard the self-mockery in the woman's words, but he didn't care and treated it calmly.

In the side hall, the host and the guest sat separately.

Maid Xia Wenyue brought cakes and spiritual fruits, and greeted Xia Shenglan with a smile on her face.

"Aunt Wenyue looks much better, and her cultivation has also improved... Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed a great cultivator who has built a foundation for cultivation and health. He has unique attainments in the art of nourishment."

Xia Wenyue's changes caught Xia Shenglan's eyes. She was surprised, but also happy for her.

Xia Wenyue was originally beautiful, but her frail body concealed her beauty.

After her condition stabilized, Xia Wenyue looked even better than before, like a flawless jade, which made Xia Shenglan, who was also a female cultivator, feel a little surprised.

Xia Shenglan took another look at Lu Changan, who was as gentle as jade and handsome as a fairy, and sighed in her heart.

In fact, when Lu Changan hid his identity, Xia Shenglan had a good impression of him, but there was no real love between men and women.

She was happy to see the family match the two of them

However, when Lu Changan confessed his identity and stepped on the turtle, Xia Shenglan's heart, which had been silent for decades, was briefly throbbing.

After that, she had been quietly following this Liang country cultivator who had been promoted to worship, and learned about his rumors and good stories in the intelligence materials.

With a comprehensive understanding, Xia Shenglan admired Lu Changan's inspirational life of cultivating immortals and became more and more curious.

Unfortunately, Lu Changan refused the matchmaking of his family that year, and Xia Shenglan couldn't bring herself to approach him again.

This time Lu Changan took the initiative to invite her, and deep in her heart, Xia Shenglan had a glimmer of hope.

…

After a cup of tea, Xia Shenglan was disappointed.

Lu Changan did not show any reminiscence. The topics he talked about involved the situation of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, the development of the Xuanyin Demon Sect, the Liang country's cultivation war, and so on.

Lu Changan motioned Xia Wenyue to leave, and then got to the point and mentioned the situation of "Yu Qin" to Xia Shenglan.

Of course, Lu Changan expressed it more implicitly. Wufu Chamber of Commerce is currently facing internal and external troubles, so the Xia clan should be wary of Yu Qin.

Mainly because there is no evidence.

Indeed, when Yu Qin visited her last time, she had the intention of seducing him, but she did not implement it and her words were unfounded.

"Fellow Daoist Lu thinks there is something wrong with Yu Qin? Is there any evidence?"

Xia Shenglan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Lu Changan smiled and said, "There is no evidence, just intuition, for reference only."

"I already know about this and will remind Mingqu. However, Mingqu is preparing to hit the late stage of foundation building in the near future..."

Xia Shenglan looked hesitant.

"Attack on the late stage of foundation building?"

Lu Changan understood Xia Shenglan's concerns.

The later stage of foundation building is an important level, and it is best to avoid emotional and mental interference.

…

After Xia Shenglan left Qiufeng Island, she thought about it and decided to go see Xia Mingqu.

Xia Mingqu is the next generation helmsman trained by the family. If his ambition is affected by even this trivial matter, there is no need to waste the family's resources.

Inside Young Master Xia's mansion.

"Sister Sheng Lan, I am planning to practice in seclusion in the near future. The clan leader and father are sitting at the head of the Chamber of Commerce. I have to worry about all the affairs within the clan."

Xia Mingqu showed enough respect and trust to this cousin who had returned from a foreign marriage.

"It doesn't matter if it's hard work, it's all part of the job."

Xia Shenglan nodded, without any polite greetings, and then mentioned the meeting with Lu Changan just now.

"Lu Changan suspects Qin'er?"

Hearing this, Xia Mingqu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

More than half a month ago, Yu Qin came to complain, saying that when Lu Changan checked his pulse, he did such obscene things and took advantage of it.

For the sake of family stability and personal dignity, Xia Mingqu suppressed the matter and did not tell anyone else.

At this moment, Xia Shenglan arrived, and Xia Mingqu was not sure, so he stopped hiding it.

"So, you believed Yu Qin's words?" Xia Shenglan looked slightly cold.

"No, I believe Qin'er's words at most. After all, judging from the intelligence from Liang Guo, Lu Changan has a good reputation and is a good man."

Xia Mingqu shook his head and said.

An old lover came to seek refuge, and Xia Mingqu sent his tribesmen to investigate: Yu Qin was indeed expelled from Yunxia Mountain, the sect of Jing State, and the family declined. The general outline of the past is very clear.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

"Although Qin'er once fell in love with me, after so many years, our relationship has faded a lot. Naturally, we cannot compare with Master Lu Fu."

Xia Mingqu said calmly.

"As long as you understand."

Xia Shenglan's face softened slightly, and regardless of personal feelings, at least Xia Mingqu was not confused in the general direction.

As a late-stage foundation builder, Lu Changan possesses demonic beasts of the same level, and his Talisman Master skills have reached the third level.

This level of status and honor is not much worse than the fake Dan real person.

…

at dusk.

In the quiet room, Lu Changan sat cross-legged, meditating on the secret method of transforming elixirs that he had traded from Zhang Tieshan.

This secret method is called "Returning to the Dust to Transform into Pills", and Lu Changan had already understood it in his spare time.

Since I didn't have any guidance from my master, I have been learning this alchemy method for many years, but I still haven't fully understood a few details.

This was Lu Changan's cultivation to the pinnacle of alchemy in his previous life, and he had a high level of knowledge and knowledge.

This shows the importance of mentorship.

Many immortal cultivating sects' sect-suppressing techniques, even if they are accidentally spread and fall into the hands of ordinary monks, they will be difficult to practice successfully.

"Zhang Tieshan does not have the disciples of True Lord Yuanying, but he dares to take the road of elixir transformation. The opportunity is indeed not small..."

Lu Changan thought of the letter sent from Liang Guo some time ago. Zhang Tieshan was chased by Zhendan and lost news.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tieshan is in danger.

However, Lu Changan was certain that Zhang Tieshan might have taken the opportunity to hide his name and secretly transform the elixir into a new form.

"In two years at most, I will be able to cultivate to the eighth level of foundation building. Even without the guidance of a famous teacher, I should be able to explore and understand this secret method before the ninth level of foundation building."

Lu Changan thought deeply.

"Even if the elixir transformation fails and there is a backlash, I will consume my life span and use the Evergreen Secret Technique, so I don't have to worry about damage to my foundation..."

Regarding this, Lu Changan verified this when Guan Qiaozhi failed to build the foundation.

squeak!

The Earth Rock Rat emerged from Lu Changan's side without anyone noticing.

"oh?"

Lu Changan listened for a moment, with a smile on his face, and let the rock rat go to practice underground.

He murmured: "The top decision-makers of the Xia clan did not disappoint me."

It turned out that when Xia Shenglan went to talk to Xia Mingqu, she was eavesdropped by the rock rat.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Changan would not explore other people's privacy, nor would he be that interested.

However, Young Master Xia's attitude and decision-making will affect Lu Changan's future plans for the Xia clan.

If Young Master Xia is deceived by Yu Qin and feels grudge and hostility, Lu Changan will not stay in the Xia clan forever.

"Yu Qin, this girl, is really trying to alienate her. If I am forced to leave, then the strength of the Xin family will not be weaker than that of the Xia family."

For fake elixir families like the Xia family and the Xin family, every person in the late stage of foundation building is an important person in charge of one party.

What's more, it's Lu Changan who is in this extraordinary late stage of foundation building.

As long as he sits in Qingshawan, the Xia family's rear will be very stable, and he can provide the Xia family with high-grade talismans.

Thinking about the two doubts he had discovered before, Lu Changan probably guessed Yu Qin's next plan.

…

A few days later, Lu Changan took the initiative to visit Xia Shenglan's dojo.

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two has a tendency to warm up and reconcile.

In fact, Lu Changan just took this opportunity to give Xia Shenglan some advice.

As for whether the young master Xia would listen in the end, Lu Changan didn't care.

As a Xia clan worshiper, he was not very kind, but he also fulfilled his basic obligations.

The third day after Lu Changan visited Xia Shenglan.

Yu Qin came to Qiufeng Island to ask for medicine again.

Lu Changan was too lazy to pay attention, so the girl was turned away.

"The medicine I want does not need Master Lu Fu to personally take action."

Yu Qin was not angry, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and she looked radiant.

She smiled and found Xia Wenyue, asking the latter to pick some herbs and help prepare medicines and sachets.

After purchasing, Yu Qin did not forget to pull Xia Wenyue to chat together.

Yu Qin was a senior in the foundation-building period, and Xia Wenyue could not refuse, so she had to accompany him.

Lu Changan ignored this and asked the rock rat to secretly look after Xia Wenyue.

…

Half a month later.

Young Master Xia began to practice in seclusion, striving for the late stage of foundation building.

Lu Changan could see the progress of Xia Mingqu's practice at a glance.

There was no big problem in breaking through at this stage.

But considering Xia Mingqu's age, he could definitely polish it for another one or two years.

The reason for breaking through as soon as possible might be to add a powerful fighter in the late stage of foundation building to the family.

The Xia and Xin clans each had a fake Dan Zhenren to check and balance each other.

The fake Dan Zhenren could not improve their cultivation, except for a few special ones, whose strength was not much different.

The one who really affected the situation was the great cultivator of the same level in the late stage of foundation building.

When Xia Mingqu was in seclusion.

Xia Shenglan and Yu Qin were waiting outside the door as guardians.

Considering the relationship between the two and Young Master Xia, it was reasonable.

A few days later.

In the secret room, a rising wave of mana surged, faintly touching the level of the late stage of foundation building.

But not long after, the rising momentum of the mana wave came to an abrupt halt and fell out of thin air.

Wow!

In the secret room, Xia Mingqu spat out a mouthful of blue-purple poisonous blood, and the remaining mana shock wave blasted into the wall.

"Mingqu!"

Xia Shenglan's face changed, and she opened the door of the secret room and rushed in.

"What kind of poison is this? I clearly checked the pills..."

Xia Mingqu's handsome and fair face was blue and red, his body swayed slightly, his expression was shaken, and he couldn't believe it.

In this situation, it was obvious that the attack failed and the poison backfired.

...

Yu Qin walked to the door of the secret room and suddenly stopped.

Xia Shenglan looked back and glared: "Yu Qin! Did you poison me?"

These days, apart from her, only Yu Qin and Young Master Xia had close contact.

As for Lu Changan, he had never been to Xia Mingqu's mansion since he returned to the tribe.

"Hehe, that's not a deadly poison, but a mixture of strange medicine, neutralized by perfume and several kinds of powder. As long as you hit the bottleneck of your realm, this mixture of secret medicine will take effect, causing your blood to boil and your heart to be blocked frequently..."

Outside the door, Yu Qin's soft voice came with a sarcastic tone.

Without waiting for Xia Shenglan and Xia Mingqu to react.

Before the woman finished speaking.

The white hand hidden in the pink sleeves tightly grasped a black round bead and threw it into the secret room.

Boom!

A ball of black fire exploded, covering ten feet, and at the same time, a large area of ​​black poisonous smoke spread, covering dozens of feet in radius.

Not to mention the result.

Yu Qin, wearing a pink dress, turned into a beam of light and flew over the poisonous smoke.

"Hehe, if it weren't for the herbs that Master Lu Fu helped me with, I wouldn't have been able to succeed so smoothly."

Yu Qin's beautiful melon-seed face was shining with a bright red luster.

A pair of shimmering autumn eyes glanced playfully in the direction of Qiufeng Island.

Before escaping, he did not forget to throw a mouthful of dirty water.

"Yu Qin! How dare you poison the young master!"

In the mansion of Qingshui Bay, a clan elder in the foundation-building period soon ordered the clan members to hunt down Yu Qin.

Yu Qin was not in a hurry.

Most of the senior members of the Xia clan were implicated by the Xin clan and sat in the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and other branches to maintain the business.

Now, there are only four foundation-building period people in the Qingsha Bay clan.

Including Lu Changan, a foreign worshiper.

Qiufeng Island where Lu Changan is located is located in a remote place, some distance away from the hinterland of Qingsha Bay, and it is not so fast to arrive.

In other words, there are only three Xia family foundation-building people who are really chasing her.

However, Xia Mingqu and Xia Shenglan were injured by her conspiracy and were unable to do it.

In fact, the biggest variable is Lu Changan.

From the existing information, with Lu Changan's strength, one person can take her down.

"Lu Chang'an, the strongest, was too late to support. Moreover, with his reputation as the 'Turtle Talisman Master' in Liang State, he would protect himself and would never use his full strength!"

Yu Qin was very sure of victory.

This was due to the intelligence of the forces behind him, as well as his own exploration of the Xia Clan and his familiarity with the geographical environment.

Alas, I don't want to say more. I had an erection twice in the first half of the year, and I felt impotent, as if I had been drained of energy by a female ghost. Now I have no energy to do anything, including games, reading, movies, and foot washing...

Make a wish: strive for stable updates in the second half of the year and earn some money for retirement.
