Xing Peng's eyelids moved and he didn't dare to say a word.

"You don't have any secrets, do you?"

"No."

The Earth Rock Rat shook his head and responded in a childish voice.

It was just a few bites taken by the way, not a private collection.

It was almost the same. Lu Changan didn't care much and took 30% of the harvest from the storage bag.

The Earth Rock Rat is a third-level demon, and there are not many items on the body of the fake elixir that catch the eye.

Except for spiritual stones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, some elixirs, and other trophies, they have little appeal to the Earth Rock Rat.

For example, magic weapons, talismans, quasi-third-level or low-level third-level talismans, etc.

"Huh!"

Lu Changan found a little surprise in the storage bag.

There are actually two second-level longevity pills inside, which may be auction items prepared by the Crescent Merchant Guild.

"You take one too."

Lu Changan took another 20% of the harvest as payment for Xing Peng's hard work.

Xing Peng, the fake elixir master, the incense master of Wujian Sect, can’t give me anything too shabby.

"Thank you Mr. Lu for the gift."

Xing Peng was so flattered that he tipped off Lu Chang'an and worked for free for several years, which finally paid off.

Lu Changan returned the remaining 50% of the loot to the storage bag to the Earth Rock Rat.

"Squeak! Thank you, master."

The rock rat was not dissatisfied and happily accepted the storage bag.

Ever since he had the opportunity to make extra money, the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation speed has become much faster than before.

The body structures of monsters and humans are different. Even if you directly swallow some heavenly materials, earthly treasures, medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, you can still have good effects.

The ability to digest and detoxify is far superior to humans.

Rats are omnivores, and they eat both meat and vegetables.

As for human monks, it is best to refine spiritual herbs into elixirs and take them to obtain more pure and gentle essence of heaven and earth.

Some elixirs for humans may not be suitable for monsters.

After reaching a higher level and transforming into another form, the needs for most elixirs gradually began to be unified.

After sending Xing Peng away, Lu Changan returned to the secret room and took two second-level longevity pills.

"Extend your life by three years."

"Extend your life by two years."

After a while, Lu Changan's face remained calm and he opened his eyes.

The upper limit of life span is increased to 507 years.

"The effect of ordinary second-level life-extending pills has almost reached its end. From now on, we must focus on the second-level quality life-extending pills."

Many years ago, I took a second-level quality life-extending pill, which extended my life for twenty-eight years without the debilitating effects of ordinary second-level pills.

…

Ten months later, Lu Changan turned one hundred and sixty-four years old.

In the past six months, Wufu Chamber of Commerce has been in a good situation, and all the previous problems have been solved.

The main reason is that the rival Crescent Chamber of Commerce is unlucky.

Originally, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce had two fake elixir masters, and its industrial power was more than twice that of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

Wu Laogui, the most powerful man, was killed. The Crescent Chamber of Commerce could not suppress the existing industry, and its competing hostile forces took advantage of the situation.

The bodyguard force of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce faced heavy losses, and several bodyguards in the foundation-building period who were good at fighting were killed in one fell swoop.

The Wufu Chamber of Commerce made a little effort and easily regained the distribution of industrial interests that had been controversial in the past.

Wufu Chamber of Commerce has two fake Dan real people who are annexing and expanding. In the next few years, they will definitely catch up with Crescent Chamber of Commerce.

The Xin tribe, one of the Five Blessings, became honest and low-key after the murder of Mr. Wu. They followed the Xia family as their leader and stopped making trouble.

With the Chamber of Commerce going smoothly, the Xin people all benefited from it, eating meat and drinking soup.

Two months ago, the Xin people took the initiative to propose marriage to the Xia family, hoping that Xia Wenyue could marry him.

In response, Xia refused without hesitation.

Then, the Xin tribe proposed remarriage, hoping that Xia Shenglan would return.

Xia refused again.

In the end, only two couples in the Qi Refining Period were allowed to marry, and a new generation female from the Xin tribe married into the Xia family.

The Wufu Chamber of Commerce is internally stable, the external crisis has been resolved, and the situation is stable and making progress.

In the last few years when Lu Changan cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building, he established a stable cultivation environment.

He formed elixirs in the Kingdom of Jing, and his third-level spiritual veins were indispensable. He had to have a clean identity and be recommended by the Chamber of Commerce to apply, which would make it easier to pass.

…

This evening.

The clan leader Xia Hongyu visited again and had a secret talk with Chief Lu.

This secret conversation was not limited to the two of them, Xia Wenyue, the person involved, was also present.

After sorting out the information and thinking deeply, Xia Wenyue decided to join Aoyue Palace.

In fact, Xia Wenyue's age and cultivation level are not in line with the normal range of disciples accepted by major sects.

When the sect recruits disciples, most of them start training them from their youth, and they are basically no longer needed when they are older.

However, those with particularly top-notch qualifications, such as earthly spiritual roots and innate Taoist bodies, can break these rules.

As long as the origin is innocent and the potential is not lost, the sect will be happy to accept it.

"Why choose Aoyue Palace?"

Of the three sects Lu Changan had previously recommended, Aoyue Palace may not be the best.

He is optimistic about Jinyang Sect.

The Jinyang Sect is located in the Liang Kingdom, adjacent to the Jing Kingdom. It has a long history, the deepest foundation, and is compatible with various schools.

Aoyue Palace's strength is also good, but it needs to be a little more "scientific".

There is another important reason. Li Erqing's son "Mu Jiu'an" is a member of the Jinyang Sect. He has a certain sect background and can take care of Xia Wenyue.

"Wen Yue heard that the female cultivators in Aoyue Palace have a higher status. Moreover, the sect has more training resources suitable for Yinhan Kung Fu."

Xia Wenyue lowered her head and said softly.

Between the blue silk temples and the picturesque profile of the face, there is an imperceptible rosiness, like a natural blush.

Over the years, Xia Wenyue gradually learned the secrets of her Tao body, including the role of Taiyin Jade Liquid.

She also understood Lu Changan's plan.

In Aoyue Palace, female nuns not only receive better treatment, but also tend to have more independent marriages.

The temptations faced by men and women are also much smaller.

"Mr. Lu has been kind to me again. The oath made by the demon in my heart cannot be broken."

"Moreover, Mr. Lu has a noble character and is untainted. He has been with me day and night for many years. He has been caring and caring to me, and he has never exceeded his standards in the slightest."

"I have never seen... him having emotional entanglements with other female cultivators."

Xia Wenyue's good impression of Lu Changan began with his appearance and temperament. She was grateful for his medical skills and respected his noble character.

Where can I find such a good person in the world?

Compared with his ruthless and unjust father, there is a huge difference.

Xia Wenyue chose Aoyue Palace in order to maintain her integrity and fulfill her oath.

At the same time, she believes that a better version of herself in the future will be worthy of Lu Changan.

"Well, looking at it this way, Aoyue Palace is suitable for you."

Lu Changan didn't know what Xia Wenyue was thinking, but he ultimately supported her choice.

"Without further delay, I want to take Wen Yue to Feng Country as soon as possible."

Clan leader Xia Hongyu is inevitably a little anxious.

A few days ago, the Xin tribe proposed to marry Xia Wenyue, which was probably a test.
