"I have good news to tell Brother Lu."

Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly, sat down next to Lu Changan, and the fragrance filled her nostrils.

"My Zhou family's 'Blood Spirit Pond' has a cleansing effect on the physique of spiritual pets. In addition to significantly improving their cultivation, it can also slightly promote their bloodline."

"However, the Blood Spirit Pool is opened once every many years and requires a lot of precious treasures. The number of places is limited and is rarely open to the public. Qingxuan finally got Grandpa to relent and considered squeezing out a place."

"What does your grandfather want?"

Lu Changan knew that Zhou Qingxuan's grandfather was the ancestor of the Zhou family's fake elixir and had been famous for a long time.

"My grandpa wants to see you."

Zhou Qingxuan glanced at him and immediately added: "This is not Qingxuan's intention, it is just my grandfather's personal idea. If you don't want to go, no one is forcing you."

"When will the Blood Spirit Pool open? There is only one quota?"

Lu Changan naturally doesn't want to go to the Zhou family. When you see it, can you please make some changes? As long as the price is enough, it's okay to buy a place, so you don't have to take advantage of the Zhou family.

"About one or two years." Zhou Qingxuan replied.

"The competition within the Zhou family is fierce, and there is only one spot. Qingxuan suggested that the Xuan Shui Turtle of the Earthly Bloodline should go."

…

Three days later, Zhou Qingxuan left Xiaogui Peak on a bird.

Before leaving, she mentioned that in two months, a large-scale auction would be held in Liaoyuan Fairy City.

This auction is a scale that is only seen once in ten years, and there will be elixir-forming items for auction.

Lu Changan refused the invitation to attend the auction with Zhou Qingxuan on the grounds of cultivation.

More than one friend mentioned this auction to Lu Changan.

One month later.

A female cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with a cool and graceful appearance and a fluttering fairy skirt, arrived as promised.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao is here."

Lu Changan smiled and welcomed Fairy Zhao into the pavilion by the pool.

Zhao Siyao smelled the fresh lotus fragrance, took a look at the large lotus flowers in full bloom, and the mysterious water turtle floating lazily in the pool, and couldn't help but feel happy.

She said with a smile: "Every time I return to Xiaogui Peak, I feel particularly relaxed and peaceful."

Zhao Siyao was preparing to attend the auction in the Liaoyuan Fairy City. Actually, it was not a side trip, but she was just visiting Little Turtle Peak as promised.

"If Fellow Daoist Zhao likes it, I can stay as a guest at Xiaogui Peak for a few days."

Lu Changan was not just exchanging pleasantries.

Ordinary female nuns would not stay overnight.

Zhao Siyao is the monk he trusts most in this life. He has known him since they were young and they have been together till today.

"Thank you Lu Dao for your kindness." Zhao Siyao declined.

In more than a hundred years, she had never stayed overnight at Lu Changan's residence.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao has reached the peak of foundation building and is preparing to form the elixir. Is there any progress in the near future?"

After chatting for a while, Lu Changan got down to business.

"Among the foundation-building monks in Jinyun Valley, Siyao's qualifications are not outstanding, and he does not have the backing of an elder in the True Pill stage. If you want to redeem the Crystal Condensation Pill within the sect, there is no hope within ten years. Even if you wait in line for more than ten years, someone may jump in the queue. …”

Zhao Siyao mentioned the current situation in Jinyun Valley.

It was because of her relationship with Lu Changan that she was able to express her feelings and vent her frustrations.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is still the cold and indifferent Fairy Yaoyue.

Lu Changan knew that Zhao Siyao had rejected unspoken rules in the decades since he first entered Jinyun Valley, especially in the foundation building stage.

Now, at this level of pill formation.

The opportunity to form pills is a top strategic resource in Jinyun Valley.

Even if those beautiful female nuns are willing to devote themselves, it is difficult for them to get what they want, and they are likely to be deceived.

"Only 30% of the materials for the Crystal Condensation Pill have been collected. The most critical main ingredient of the elixir, 'Seven Core Xuanyuehua', includes two rare auxiliary drugs, which are hard to come by."

"Fortunately, I spent a lot of money in the past two years to obtain an ordinary pill-forming spiritual object, which can slightly increase the quality of the pill-forming."

Nowadays, Zhao Siyao does not have the extravagant hope of exchanging crystal condensation pills in the sect, but wants to use external forces to replicate the idea when building the foundation.

Lu Changan knew very well that Zhao Siyao's qualifications and age would not allow him to wait more than ten years.

In the future, the success rate of condensing pills will become lower and lower.

"Siyao is going to try her luck at this large-scale auction in the prairie fire fairy city. If Fellow Daoist Lu is interested, you can go together. Tan'er and the others will arrive soon..."

Zhao Siyao invited.

"I have already obtained the level-breaking elixir for the late stage of foundation building, so I will not go to the auction."

Lu Changan said, took out a brocade bag and handed it to Zhao Siyao.

"This spiritual stone is from Lu's heart. I hope fellow Daoist Zhao can gain something at the auction."

In the last reply, Lu Changan mentioned that he couldn't be of much help and could only borrow a few thousand spirit stones to express his feelings.

"After returning from the battlefield of Feng Kingdom a few years ago, Siyao was unable to repay. This spiritual stone..."

Zhao Siyao took the brocade bag and bit her lower lip, looking ashamed.

Lu Changan thought of that time.

Outside Jinyun Valley, the two had a private chat that almost broke the window paper.

"Lu Changan, how do you want me to repay such a great kindness?"

At that time, Zhao Siyao stared at him and said this.

Lu Changan naturally understood the implications.

That was the closest the two of them were to each other, but they never took that step.

"You don't have to worry about it, Fellow Daoist Zhao. This is the spiritual stone I borrowed from you, and you will have to pay it back in the future."

Lu Changan affirmed.

"If Siyao fails to condense the pill in the future and unfortunately dies, Fellow Daoist Lu may have to make a loss-making business."

Zhao Siyao turned around and smiled.

Lu Changan heard her joke and said leisurely:

"If Fellow Daoist Zhao cannot repay the debt, I believe Zhao Tan'er will bear the debt for my teacher. With her potential, it should be no problem to get a few thousand spirit stones."

Zhao Siyao was speechless.

The risk of thousands of spirit stones is nothing to Lu Changan's current worth.

"Zhang Daoyou doesn't plan to attend the auction this time?"

Lu Changan changed the topic and said.

He was somewhat interested in Zhang Tieshan's progress in forming pills.

"Senior Brother Zhang is almost ready to prepare the elixir-forming items. He just needs to exchange them for the crystal-condensing elixir. Before the elixir is condensed, he has no intention of leaving Jinyun Valley."

There was a hint of envy in Zhao Siyao's eyes.

Lu Changan was secretly surprised. He didn't expect Zhang Tieshan to progress so quickly.

The two entered Jinyun Valley at the same time when they were teenagers.

Zhang Tieshan is not as good as Zhao Siyao in other aspects except being the first in Huanxin Pass and having great ambition.

He also entered the Qingming Secret Realm and participated in the Immortal Cultivation War.

However, Zhang Tieshan's gains often exceeded those of ordinary monks from opportunities one after another.

Including a variety of practical experience.

After more than a hundred years of cultivation, the gap has widened unknowingly.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Changan was not surprised.

What's more, he had speculated early on that Zhang Tieshan might have a chance.

…

Xiao Guifeng and Lu Changan sent Zhao Siyao away and also declined the invitation to attend the auction together.

Half a month later.

Lu Changan quietly left Wu Qi Mountain, disguised his identity through Baihuan Mask, and headed to the Liaoyuan Fairy City.

This auction is large in scale and has more business opportunities.

Lu Changan wanted to act privately and sell those puppets and elixirs for training.
