Lu Changan was not surprised at all when the Earth Rock Rat spoke.
Monsters in the world generally cannot truly transform until they reach the fourth level of cultivation.
However, if you just speak people's words, the difficulty is much lower.
A third-level demon can form elixirs as well as humans, refine the bones in the throat, and get along day and night, so it is easy to understand human language.
Some unpopular psychic pills also have this effect, allowing monsters to speak in advance.
A few special monsters can even speak human words at the first or second level.
"The Li family of Xuemei Mountain..."
Lu Changan took the letter from Earth Rock Rat and saw the plum blossom imprint clan emblem on it. Sure enough, it came from the immortal world of Liang Kingdom.
The helmsman of the Li family in Xuemei Mountain, "Li Congren", is the most promising grandson of Li Erqing. His clan is close to the border of the Liang Kingdom and has had business dealings with the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce in his early years.
Ten years ago, Lu Changan smuggled himself into Jing Country through Li Congnen's relationship.
This letter was sent by Li Congren through the channels of the Merchant Alliance, and it was reinforced with special restrictions.
"Four years ago, I restored Lu Changan's identity in the Xia clan. Initially, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce investigated the identity in Liang State, which also alerted the Li family of Xuemei Mountain..."
Lu Changan read the first part of the letter and understood the general reason.
Nowadays, Li's business in Xuemei Mountain is getting bigger, he has established a family business association, and he has closer ties with the Jingguo Business Alliance.
Due to deliberate attention, the specific whereabouts of Lu Changan in Jing State were learned by Li Congren two years ago.
This letter is not Li Congren’s personal will, but also the instruction of Feiyue Lake Mu family Li Erqing.
Li Erqing was very excited when he learned about Brother Lu's whereabouts, and asked Li Congren to try to send a letter to contact him.
War preparation materials between the two countries can be circulated. As long as there is a relationship in the commercial alliance, the specific location of the target is known, and the communication can be achieved by sending letters.
However, cross-border letters take a long time to communicate and there are instability factors.
…
"The year I smuggled out of Liang State, Zhao Siyao took inferior crystal condensation pills, supplemented by ordinary pill-forming spiritual objects, and became a fake elixir."
Many people and things mentioned in the letter were of great concern to Lu Changan.
"A few years later, the secret realm of Qingming was opened, and the enemy's foundation-building monks opened a temporary passage, taking the opportunity to kill and compete for heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"At that time, Zhao Siyao's female disciple 'Zhao Tan'er' had reached the late stage of foundation building and made a lot of money in the Qingming Secret Realm."
"The mountain keeper of Little Guifeng, 'Qi Feng', was taken care of by the helmsman of the Beast Control Zhou family, Shi Xianzi and others, and was promoted to the foundation building stage two years ago. This person considers himself the 'mountain guard' and takes care of Little Guifeng.
A small escort organization was opened..."
"The Feng Kingdom's Jinyang Sect camp occupies half of the Liang Kingdom's Spiritual Vein Dojo. It needs to consolidate its results and territory to slow down its invasion. The Liang Kingdom's sect is centered on the 'Lihuo Palace' and is fully committed to defending the other half of its territory."
"Many cultivators in the Liang Kingdom lost their spiritual dojos and were forced to open up wasteland in the Black Mist Mountains. Some casual cultivators smuggled themselves to the Jing Kingdom with the flow. There were also a few monks who fled further north, crossing the Feishatian Chasm.
Go to Feng Yuan Kingdom."
"The Mu family in Feiyue Lake is now located in the territory occupied by the Feng Kingdom. Fortunately, with Mu Jiu'an's care, the Mu family presented the Zhuyan Pill to the female relatives of the top Jinyang Sect, thus gaining the peace of surrender.
treatment."
After reading most of this cross-border letter, Lu Changan felt a stone settle in his heart.
Zhao Siyao and Li Erqing, who had the deepest friendship with him, are both still alive.
Even the descendants of the adoptive father took the foundation-building pills they left on Little Turtle Peak and successfully built the foundation.
At the end of the letter, Li Erqing relayed his concern for Lu Changan.
Li Erqing has a wish: he hopes to see Lu Changan again in his lifetime.
"Li Erqing fought with monks from the Feng Kingdom a few years ago and suffered severe injuries. He can only live to be two hundred years old at most."
When Lu Changan thought about the details mentioned in the letter, he could understand Li Erqing's pessimistic mood.
The war of cultivating immortals is shrouded in dark clouds. We are located in two major cultivating kingdoms. For ordinary foundation-building cultivators, they may live for decades and may never come back.
Li Erqing and the Mu family are now in the Jinyang Sect camp. Even with Mu Jiuan's care, they may not be spared and may still participate in the war.
Therefore, Lu Changan was not sure whether he would ever see Li Erqing again in this life.
However, in his reply, he gave an affirmative answer:
"Eldest brother is in Jing Kingdom, everything is fine. I just have to wait for the attack on Jiedan in the future. Regardless of success or failure, I will eventually return to my homeland of Liang Kingdom."
Lu Changan wrote a reply, set a ban, and asked the Earth Rock Rat to deliver it to Xia Wenyue.
The Wufu Chamber of Commerce occupies a position in the merchant alliance, and monks go to Liang Kingdom every year to help deliver messages.
He is now worshiped by the Xia clan, and there is no need to personally take care of such trivial matters.
…
Three months later.
While practicing, Lu Changan suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the hinterland of Qingshawan.
Not long ago, he sensed that Xia Hongyu, the leader of the Xia clan, had left the clan.
This kind of situation is extremely rare in the years he has been stationed on Qiufeng Island.
A few days later, Lu Changan and Xia Wenyue chatted and learned that the clan leader Xia Hongyu had personally gone to the headquarter of Wufu Chamber of Commerce to take charge.
"It seems that the Xia family does not have enough control over the Wufu Chamber of Commerce. The ancestor of the fake pill family had to leave the clan and go to the head of the chamber of commerce in the fairy city."
Today's Wufu merchants are suffering from external and internal troubles, which anyone with a discerning eye can see.
The hostile force "Crescent Chamber of Commerce" suppressed and tried to embezzle the Wufu Chamber of Commerce's industry.
Internally, the Xin tribe, one of the Five Blessings, gave birth to False Dan Zhenren, and was supported by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Changan can probably guess a thing or two about the purpose of clan leader Xia Hongyu going to the chamber of commerce.
If the Xin tribe cannot be subdued, the Wufu Chamber of Commerce can only be divided.
"The old guy is finally gone. Now I can feel free to rub the spiritual energy."
With the departure of clan leader Xia Hongyu, Earth Rock Rat is the happiest person.
The aura environment of Xia Hongyu's Water Curtain Cave is comparable to that of a quasi-third level. In the past, every time he went to soak up the aura, he had to be more careful while hiding underground.
Now that Xia Hongyu is gone, the Earth Rock Rat is more comfortable.
Lu Changan didn't care about the infighting within the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
Even if something bad happens and the Xia clan fails in the battle, they will only lose a lot of industry.
Due to the constraints of the business alliance, the high-end combat capabilities of the major chambers of commerce are relatively restrained in the battle of tactics.
If they lose in a normal fight, the Xia tribe will definitely cut off their tails to survive and save the Qingshawan tribe's land.
As long as the clan's land remains, it will not affect Lu Changan's practice.
After clan leader Xia Hongyu left, Qingshawan significantly strengthened the clan's formation protection, and the number of patrolling monks was also greater than before.
In addition to Lu Changan, there are three elders in Qingshawan who are in the foundation building period.
Among them were the young master Xia Mingqu, whom he was familiar with, and Xia Shenglan, whom he had rescued.
In addition to Lu Changan, there are four foundation-building monks on the bright side of Qingshawan. With the help of the clan protection formation, even if the fake alchemy master comes to attack, it will be difficult to defeat them head-on.
…
More than half a year later.
Lu Changan is planning to go out soon.
On the one hand, the third-level beast pills needed for the Earth Rock Rat's cultivation have been used up.
On the other hand, Xia Wenyue's cultivation has become smoother and smoother, and she reached the eighth level of Qi refining not long ago.
Regarding the innate Taoist body of Xia Wenyue's "Hanso Chalcedony", Lu Changan searched through the Xia clan's collection of ancient books but could not find any relevant information.
Lu Changan planned to purchase third-level beast pills and look up the detailed records of "Hanso Chalcedony".
In addition, among the several Foundation Establishment Pills he refined, three of them are inferior, so you can consider disposing of them appropriately.
"Mr. Lu, there is a distinguished guest from the clan who came to ask for medicine."
