Chapter 49 Sudden Bad News

  Lu Changan placed his palm on the surface of the eggshell, faintly feeling the heartbeat and subtle movements inside.

  He confirmed that the black water turtle has entered the hatching stage.

   After that, for a period of time, he injected some evergreen mana into the turtle egg every day to provide energy nourishment.

   Whenever he inputs evergreen mana, the life inside the eggshell will transmit a kind and dependent spiritual fluctuation.

  Lu Changan believes that even if the hatchlings bred in the future do not sign a spiritual pet contract, they will recognize him as their master.

   Two months later.

   With a "click", the eggshell burst.

  A miniature turtle smaller than a baby's palm, trying to break its shell in a naive manner. Gather enough energy to feed, first the head, then the limbs of the body, and finally drilled out of the eggshell.

  After hatching, the young Xuanshui turtle looked around nervously with its cute little eyes, and quickly locked on to Lu Changan.

  Feeling a familiar atmosphere, the young turtle crawled affectionately and rubbed against Lu Changan's wrist.

  Lu Changan spread out his palm, and the young Xuanshui turtle climbed up, occupying only one-third of his palm, rubbing the breath on his palm, almost falling over, it was really cute.

  After the young Xuanshui turtle hatched.

  The rock rat in Lu Changan's pet bag was extremely restless.

   Squeak!

  The huge ground rock mouse was released, staring at the young Xuanshui turtle on Lu Changan's palm, a cold light flashed in the mouse's eyes, and it grinned.

  The young Xuanshui turtle was frightened and ran into Lu Changan's clothes.

  Boom!

  Lu Changan kicked the rock mouse, the latter groaned in pain, the killing intent disappeared, showing aggrieved look.

   "It will also be your master in the future, if you dare to change your mind, I will send you to the Colosseum..."

  Lu Changan gave a warning and put the rock rat into the storage bag.

   Not to mention the gap between the middle-grade bloodline and the ground-grade bloodline.

  The mysterious water turtle was hatched by him himself, and he poured his heart and soul into it.

  The ground rock rat is just a spoil captured halfway.

  The two are naturally not comparable.

  Lu Changan fed some spiritual liquid to the young turtle, and checked his physical condition by the way.

  In the jade tube that Zhou Qingxuan gave back at the beginning, there was an illustrated book of black water turtles, including juvenile turtles.

   Lu Changan made a comparison, and the appearance is basically the same.

  There is only a slight difference in the texture of the turtle shell.

  This juvenile turtle from Lu Changan has a slightly leaf-like texture on its shell, which is hard to detect without careful attention.

  The juvenile turtle is very small, so Lu Changan puts it in the pet bag every day, and builds a small moist environment inside.

   This tortoise is sticky, so Lu Changan will take it out every day to interact with it and deliver a little evergreen mana.

  The water turtle is mainly water attribute, and also has some wood attributes.

   This one raised by Lu Changan, just a few days after birth, can spit out light green water bubbles, accompanied by weak mana fluctuations.

  …

  Zhuyeshanfang City.

  Lu Changan's life remained the same without much change.

  Although there is an extra pet, the water turtle is actually quite easy to keep.

   No fuss or fuss.

   It does not consume many resources, far inferior to some land spirit beasts. The only disadvantage is that it grows slowly.

   In the blink of an eye, one or two years have passed.

   It has been five years since the auction.

  Lu Changan is over forty-three years old.

  His cultivation is close to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, and he is still a year or two away from being promoted to the seventh level of Qi training.

  His appearance looks like he is about twenty years old, in his prime.

  At this time, the young Xuanshui turtle has grown to the size of an adult's palm, and the mana fluctuations it emits have reached the early stage of Qi refining.

   I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lu Changan feels that his mysterious water turtle grows faster than the one introduced in the jade tube.

  …

  After feeding the Xuan water turtle, Lu Changan came to the first floor of the shop.

   "Miss, are you back?"

  Mu Xiuyun, who was wearing a long green gauze dress, was checking the talismans at the counter of the shop.

  In the first two years, Mu Xiuyun was promoted to the ninth floor of Qi Refining, and since then she has often been away from the shop.

   I don't know if it's something about the family, or planning to build a foundation.

   Fortunately, the current business of the store is stable, not bad, and the two apprentices have also grown up.

  Mu Shan and Mu Ershun became first-level low-grade talisman masters, and the low-grade talisman they drew was already profitable.

  Among them, Mu Shan is good at dealing with people and the world, and she can be regarded as the second shopkeeper in the store.

   "Chang'an, this is a pigeon flying letter from Fangshi post station."

  Mu Xiuyun flipped her hair up, elegant and charming, and handed a letter to Lu Changan.

  The envelope has Jin Yungu's logo on it, and it was sent by Zhao Siyao.

  In the world of cultivating immortals, fixed gathering places for cultivating immortals, such as major squares, sects, and families, will have post stations for correspondence with each other.

  Gingge Feixin is one of the faster ones.

  Lu Changan used a specific method to break the restriction on the envelope and opened the letter.

  A few years ago, Zhao Siyao went to Huanglong Fairy City near the Black Mist Mountains, and occasionally had contact with Lu Changan.

  Recently, Zhao Siyao has almost collected the resources of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and has returned to Jinyun Valley.

   "Chang'an, what's wrong?"

  Mu Xiuyun looked over with concern.

  Lu Chang Anxin only saw half of it, his complexion changed suddenly, and his brows were tightly frowned.

   With a dignified expression, there was a long silence.

   "Eason Lam...was seriously injured and died?"

  Mu Xiuyun took the letter, her face paled, and her onion fingers trembled slightly.

   "What! Uncle Lin passed away?"

  Not far away, Mu Ershun, who was busy, heard the conversation and couldn't help but lose his voice in shock.

   Edward Lam is a friend of his father.

  Over the past 20 years, I have visited Mu's house many times, and also came to Fangshi during the auction.

  The last time we met was five years ago.

  At that time, Uncle Lin asked his proud son Lin Lu to spend more time with Mu Ershun.

   Unexpectedly, today, the bad news came suddenly.

  Mu Xiuyun put down the letter and said softly, "Chang'an, do you want to go there?"

"Um."

  Lu Changan nodded, after all, they have been friends for more than 20 years.

  As a talisman teacher, he often traded with Lin Yi's Yinxian Pavilion, and he received a box of letters.

  Zhao Siyao is rushing to Hengshui Mansion.

  About Edward Lam's cause of death.

  The letter described that Lin Yi led the monks of the Yinxian Pavilion to cooperate with the disciples of Jinyun Valley to encircle and suppress a wanted evil cultivator.

  In the end, although Xie Xiu was repelled, Lin Yi was seriously injured and unable to recover.

  When he was sent back to Hengshui Mansion, he was seriously injured and died.

  …

   "Go to Changqing first."

   Lu Changan took Mu Xiuyun's flying boat, and the two set off together.

  In ten years, Lu Changan left Fangshi for the first time.

   "Hey! The sun comes out from the west, so the tortoise talisman master went out?"

  The monks I knew in Fang City couldn't help being amazed when they saw Lu Changan leaving.

  Nowadays, the area around Zhuye Mountain is generally stable, and a small amount of robbery repairs will not make a difference.

  The evil-faced flying eagle from back then is only a rumor, but it has long since disappeared.

   Even if it appears.

  Based on Lu Changan's body training skills, the ground rock rat's first-order peak strength, even if he doesn't use the talisman card, he can handle it with confidence.

   Besides, there is Mu Xiuyun who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining by her side.

  The speed of the flying boat was very fast, and it arrived at Mu's residence in Feiyue Lake in less than a day.

  No return for ten years.

  Seeing the shimmering and jade-like Feiyue Lake, Lu Changan felt a sense of intimacy.

  There have been many changes in Feiyue Villa and the surrounding spiritual fields and medicine gardens.

  Family monks have increased significantly, and there are many more young faces.

  The flying boat landed in Li Ergou's other courtyard.

   "Eddie Lam died? The young master died?"

  When Li Ergou heard the bad news, the skin on his round face trembled, and he was stunned for a long time.

  Perhaps, the deepest impression of Lam Yi in his mind is still the awe-inspiring little prince twenty years ago who exuded royal authority.

  Lu Changan and Li Ergou agreed to go to Hengshui Mansion to mourn the deceased.

   "Chang'an, I'll go with you."

  Mu Xiuyun said softly.

   "No, you are now a senior member of the Mu family, and you have important matters to attend to."

   Lu Changan shook his head and said.

  He knew that Mu Xiuyun was very busy, traveling between the family and the store, and planning to build a foundation.

   Besides, Mu Xiuyun has no friendship with Lin Yi.

  Mu Xiuyun's gentle eyes couldn't help but dim, and said softly, "Then I'll lend you the flying boat."

  …

   A few days later.

  The flying boat came to a valley a hundred miles south of Hengshui City.

   This is the stronghold of Yinxian Pavilion, which is covered by the phantom array.

   Before he died, Edward Lam left a message saying that he would be buried here.

   fell into the valley.

  Lu Changan saw five or six monks sitting cross-legged in a corner of the valley.

  There is a mausoleum there, and a tombstone is erected.

  Zhao Siyao was dressed in white, sitting next to a young man with dark skin, and waved to them.

   "Uncle Lu, Uncle Li."

  Lin Lu knelt in front of the tombstone, with bloodshot eyes, his face haggard and desolate.

  Li Ergou stared blankly at the name on the tombstone.

  Suddenly his mind collapsed and he burst into tears.

   This made Lin Lu, who was kneeling next to him, sob too.

  Lu Changan was a little surprised. Although Li Ergou and Lin Yi had known each other for a long time, their friendship was not particularly good.

  At the beginning of the acquaintance, Lin Yi looked down upon Li Ergou.

  Li Ergou was very afraid of that little master.

  Later they became friends, and they talked about everything with a smile.

   Several monks from Zhao Siyao came over to persuade Li Ergou.

   "Brother, Yi Lin is smarter and more cunning than me. He created a cultivating power with his own hands, and it was very popular for a while. I am far inferior to him!"

   Li Ergou wiped his tears and said.

   "It's a long road to immortality, how many more steps can we take than him? At that time, we will one by one..."

  Yi Lam's death had a serious impact on Li Ergou's Taoism.

   Edward Lam was the first, definitely not the last!

  The road ahead seems to be dark.

   This pessimism even infected Zhao Siyao and several other monks, and the atmosphere was dull for a while.

  Lu Changan burned a stick of incense and bowed to the tombstone.

   He spoke to break the silence,

"You're right, we can't see the end of the fairy road, and every step may lead to the fall of the road. But every extra step, we can see the scenery that we have never seen before, and the fairy fate of this life is not in vain. If you fail in this life, there will be an afterlife!"

   "I don't want the Dao to be eternal, but I only want the immortal road to be green."
