Because it was late at night and at a special time, Lu Changan did not interrupt rashly.

Early next morning.

Lu Changan took a Xuan Shui Turtle and visited Mu's house in Feiyue Lake.

The foundation-building ancestor who came out to greet Lu Changan was not Li Erqing.

"Uncle Lu."

It was a beautiful, graceful and familiar figure, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

Mu Bingyun was wearing a dark, loose robe, and her appearance had not changed much. She looked about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, but she looked more mature and steady.

Its timbre is not as girlish as it was back then, but it still has the magnetic sweetness of a dignified female cultivator, and its charm does not lose the majesty of the foundation-building ancestor.

"Bingyun, I haven't seen you for many years, we've made a lot of progress."

When they came closer, the two met each other's eyes. Lu Changan looked calm and smiled.

Mu Bingyun's mood fluctuated slightly, but she regained her composure in an instant, pursed her lips and smiled, and talked calmly.

"The black water turtle has grown so big that it can fly and carry people?"

Soon, Mu Bingyun was attracted by the big turtle in front of her, her starry eyes filled with light, and she happily stepped forward and touched the huge head of the Xuan Shui Turtle.

Xuan Shuigui met Mu Bingyun and rubbed her hand affectionately.

Later, Mu Bingyun also sat on the back of the black water turtle and returned to the cave on Yuexin Island with Lu Changan.

"Li Erqing is not in the clan area?"

"Uncle Erqing cooperates with the law enforcement monks of Jinyun Valley to patrol the surrounding areas to inspect the enemy monks."

After talking, Lu Changan learned that in the Feiyue Lake tribe, only Mu Bingyun was in charge during the foundation building period.

Lu Changan was not in a hurry to see Li Erqing.

Anyway, we have to wait for Zhang Tieshan to come back, so it doesn't hurt to stay at Mu's house for a while.

In addition to guarding the clan territory, Mu Bingyun, as a second-level senior talisman master, shared a lot of talisman-drawing tasks for Jinyun Valley.

Coupled with Zhang Tieshan's relationship, the two foundation builders from Feiyue Lake did not go to the front lines to participate in the battle, but many clansmen in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining were sent.

Mu Bingyun has reached the sixth level of foundation building. After years of honing her talisman skills, she has reached the threshold of a second-level high-grade talisman master.

In the cave, the two of them drank tea and chatted from morning till sunset.

During this period, Mu Bingyun resigned from all affairs within the clan.

Lu Changan gave Mu Bingyun some advice in terms of cultivation and drawing talismans, but it did not exceed his own level of cultivation.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changan stood up and left, not wanting to stay in Mu Bingyun's cave.

"Why should Uncle Lu avoid taboos? Back then, Bingyun was attacked by fishermen in the dark night, and she also stayed in Uncle Lu's cave."

Mu Bingyun smiled sweetly and said calmly.

"It's not necessary. The Mu family has many guest rooms. As the ancestor of the clan, you must maintain your own majesty and image."

Lu Changan waved his hand.

At this time, he noticed the change in Mu Bingyun's mentality. She was no longer as young and anxious as the girl she once was, and could handle family affairs, including personal feelings, calmly.

"Then Uncle Lu will be a guest at Feiyue Lake for some time,"

Mu Bingyun did not force herself and arranged a separate courtyard dojo for Lu Changan on Yuexin Island.

…

In the next half month, Lu Changan was a guest on Yuexin Island.

Due to his different status, Lu Changan only visited the small lakeside courtyard where he lived during his Qi refining period once.

Mu Bingyun visits Lu Changan from time to time and will leave voluntarily after sunset.

Even so, Lu Changan's fake elixir-level consciousness occasionally caught individual rumors on Yuexin Island.

Until this day, Li Erqing returned to Feiyue Lake.

"Brother Lu!"

Li Erqing, a gray-bearded man, the first thing he did as a Hui clan was to go straight to the other courtyard where Lu Changan stayed, unable to conceal his surprise.

In recent years, due to the impact of the war, Lu Changan and Feiyue Lake have not had much contact, and he has not seen Li Erqing for many years.

Li Erqing has aged a lot. He is over 50 years old. When he smiles, the accumulation of nasolabial folds on his face becomes more and more obvious.

That slightly rounded face vaguely shows his former wealth.

Lu Changan realized that Li Erqing's youthful days were in the past and he was transitioning to his twilight years.

"Er Qing, you have been assisting the Mu family these years. You did not go to the Li family in Xuemei Mountain, but you impressed my eldest brother."

Lu Changan patted his shoulder and said happily.

"Brother Lu, after all these years, you have remained almost unchanged."

Li Erqing stared blankly at the youthful and familiar man in white in front of him, feeling very complicated.

Not only does Lu Changan's appearance remain unchanged, he has also been repaired to the late stage of foundation construction.

Who would have thought that during the Qi Refining Stage, his cultivation level was once ahead of Lu Changan's, and he was the first to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now, Li Erqing's cultivation is stuck at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and it is difficult to make any progress.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have cultivated my life skills back then." Li Erqing said angrily.

"Haha, your eldest brother's appearance is not only due to his health-preserving skills, but also his good attitude and steady improvement in his cultivation."

"This is so difficult."

"Of course, you have to take a beauty pill like a big brother."

Lu Changan changed the subject and said.

Li Erqing:......

In the hall of the other courtyard.

Lu Changan and Li Erqing chatted until late at night, reminiscing about the past, gossiping about future generations, and worrying about the war situation.

During the conversation, the name Li Erqing mentioned most often was "Li Congren", and he could not hide his pride.

Lu Changan had to admit that Li Congren was indeed very successful.

He led a clan of people to expand in remote and cold places, and in just twenty or thirty years, he created a powerful immortal cultivating family.

The Li family of Xuemei Mountain, based in the northwest of the Liang Kingdom, had good relations with the Zhou family, who controlled beasts, and had contacts with merchants from neighboring countries.

Lu Changan is planning to go to Jing State to form elixirs, and he will have to use Li Congren's channels to gain convenience.

Regarding this matter, Lu Changan did not mention it to Li Congren in his letters, but had made some insidious remarks a few years ago.

…

"By the way, what's Mu Jiuan's situation now?"

Lu Changan suddenly remembered that Li Erqing's ninth son "Mu Jiu'an" was accepted as a disciple by the Danjie monk when he was young, and later joined the Jinyang Sect of the Feng Kingdom.

Now, the main force invading the Liang Kingdom is Jinyang Sect and its affiliated immortal cultivating forces.

The Jinyang Sect has two Nascent Soul Lords and is the oldest sect in the surrounding immortal cultivation countries.

"Jiu'an..."

When Mu Jiu'an was mentioned, Li Erqing looked hesitant and stopped talking.

Lu Changan had a flash of idea and made a guess.

"If it's inconvenient, don't tell me. Brother understands your difficulties."

Li Erqing and Lu Changan have known each other for more than a hundred years, and they are willing to open their hearts to him about many things.

"I have never told anyone about this matter, including Bingyun and Congren..."

Li Erqing took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and set up a layer of restrictions in place.

He realized that with Lu Changan's intelligence and life experience, he might be able to guess some of the truth of the matter from his reaction.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changan reinforced another layer of isolation and restriction.

"Jiu'an has lurked in the Liang Kingdom and has contacted me secretly."

Li Erqing lowered his voice, sweat dripped from his forehead, and told the secret deep in his heart.

Even though Lu Changan had some guesses, he couldn't help but be moved!

"Jiu'an said that Liang will definitely lose in this war! Let me make a decision early..."

"Have you...ever promised?"

Mu Jiuan secretly contacted his father for what purpose, Lu Changan didn't even have to think about it.

"Betrayal of the Immortal Realm of Liang Kingdom and collude with the enemy's sect is something I would not dare to do."
