There is a faint sadness between the eyebrows, as if there is light smoke lingering, and there is an indescribable tenderness and weakness.

Lu Changan's eyes were filled with surprise. Xia Mingqu called her "aunt". He thought she was some older woman.

Judging from the longevity sensor, the girl is probably several rounds younger than Xia Mingqu.

This situation is not unusual among cultivating immortal families.

For example, if the foundation-building ancestor is more than a hundred years old and finds a young woman to be his concubine, he will give birth to a high-ranking heir.

"Aunt Wenyue, this is Master Wu, a foundation-building monk who has just joined the family."

Xia Mingqu introduced.

"I've met Master Wu." Xia Wenyue bowed with her hands folded and quickly glanced at the middle-aged man with a round, plain face.

"From now on, Qiufeng Island will be Master Wu Dan's dojo."

"Ok, I know."

Xia Wenyue lowered her head, slightly biting her lower lip with her teeth, and responded softly.

Xia Mingqu couldn't bear it, sighed secretly, smiled at Lu Changan and said:

"Master Wu Dan, let me take you in for a look."

Xia Wenyue was stunned on the spot, with tears in her eyes, watching the two of them step into Qiufeng Island.

Lu Changan looked at the island at his feet. There was a garden courtyard in the center. The architecture inside was elegant and exquisite, more like a dojo used by female nuns.

At the back of the garden compound, there is a deep pool with a radius of more than ten feet, which is suitable for the habitat of black water turtles.

Lu Changan looked around and found that this fresh and quiet style was more to his liking.

"Young Master Xia, what is the connection between this dojo and the girl just now?"

Lu Changan did not make a rash decision.

First, ask clearly whether there are any controversial issues left over from history.

"Aunt Wenyue's mother is my aunt by generation. She was a family elder during her lifetime and made great contributions to the Xia family and the Chamber of Commerce. Ten years ago, she encountered misfortune..."

"According to family rules, the descendants of the elders in the foundation-building period can only live in the dojo cave for a maximum of five years. Thinking of the old friendship, the clan leader let Aunt Wenyue live here for more than ten years. Of course, in the next few years, he will take care of her.

In the name of the dojo.”

"Fellow Daoist Wu, you can rest assured that there are no remaining problems in this dojo. Aunt Wenyue is a sensible person and will not have any complaints."

After listening to Xia Mingqu's statement, Lu Changan nodded and did not explore too much.

He just felt that Xia Mingqu didn't want to talk about Xia Wenyue's mother in detail.

In addition, Xia Wenyue followed her mother's surname, and Xia Mingqu did not mention her biological father.

…

Enter the garden mansion in the center of Qiufeng Island.

Lu Changan saw some household items and clothing used by female cultivators.

"Master Wu Dan, can you give me half an hour to tidy up the things in the house?"

Xia Wenyue followed over, with a faint blush on her pale and sickly jade face, and she hurriedly packed up her personal belongings.

Lu Changan was naturally not embarrassed and walked out of the garden mansion with Xia Mingqu.

Lu Changan discovered that the island's spiritual environment was of the second-order mid-level on the surface. But the deep pool in the center seemed to be connected to the earth's veins, and the spiritual energy was very active.

If you set up a spirit gathering array and invest spiritual stones, you can reach the second level of high quality.

"Master Wu Dan, Aunt Wenyue has stayed in this dojo for a long time and has placed special feelings on it. Can you consider letting her be the housekeeper or maid here so that it can be managed more smoothly."

Xia Mingqu helped and begged for mercy.

Although Xia Wenyue is a qi-training monk with not very good qualifications, as the daughter of a deceased elder, she is actually a little aggrieved at the moment.

However, this is Xia Wenyue's own request.

If one day, Qiufeng Island becomes the dojo of a certain elder, she hopes to continue to stay here, even if she is the current person.

Lu Changan wondered: "Wu has always liked peace and quiet. He just arrived in the Xia clan and doesn't understand many things. It's better to consider the choice of this maid in the future."

"The famous song is abrupt."

Xia Mingqu smiled apologetically and did not force anything.

He thought that Lu Changan was concerned about Xia Wenyue's identity or did not want the maid assigned by the family.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu for becoming the new island owner of Qiufeng Island."

Xia Mingqu didn't stay too long and said goodbye.

Waited for another quarter of an hour.

Xia Wenyue and Liu Fufeng's figure came out of the mansion.

"Master Wu Dan."

The girl's face became paler, she forced a smile at Lu Chang'an, bowed and left reluctantly.

Lu Changan unfolded his consciousness to check the woman's condition.

Xia Wenyue's body is yin-cold and weak, and she has underlying diseases. In fact, she is not suitable for living on an island with high humidity.

…

On that day, Lu Changan began to plan and arrange his own dojo.

Lu Changan did not intend to touch the formations and spirit gathering formations on the island itself. They were used as peripheral formations to cover the entire Qiufeng Island.

With the mansion and the cold pool behind him as the center, he prepared to rearrange his formation.

Before leaving Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan dismantled the core parts of the original quasi-third-order formation.

This was originally a formation set up by Fairy Master.

Now, he plans to move the core of this formation to his mansion on Qiufeng Island.

The quasi-third-order formation is somewhat high-profile.

Lu Changan divided it into two layers: light and dark.

The bright formation is a second-level high-grade formation; the dark formation has a stronger concealing effect.

The dual combination of light and dark is a quasi-third order.

With this formation, no one in the Xia family can pry into the privacy of Lu Changan's cave.

Ten days later.

Lu Changan's formation in the new dojo is initially completed.

The deep pool on the back side of the mansion was included in the formation.

The Xuan Shui Turtle lives in the deep pool every day. If there are visitors, the Xuan Shui Turtle can dive to the bottom of the deep pool with its turtle breath and use the formation to cover it up, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect it.

As for the Earth Rock Rat, he is currently staying in the mansion or underground, silently practicing the art of shape-changing.

Once you have mastered the magic to a certain level, you will change into a rat species and work on the island.

In fact, rock rats are not considered a rare breed.

As long as it doesn't appear at the same time as the Xuan Shui Turtle, and happens to meet the monks from the Liang Kingdom, Lu Changan's identity will not be easily exposed.

"If you want to really grow the Xuanmu Gourd Vine, it's best to take root in the ground. Well, you have to find a hidden and secure place and study it slowly. Don't rush it yet..."

"The Jing Kingdom has a developed world of immortal cultivation and trade. It should be easier than the Liang Kingdom to buy longevity pills and materials for quasi-third-level puppets."

"The Earth Rock Rat has cultivated to the second level peak. After it is stable in Jing Kingdom, we must plan to condense the pill for it."

"In addition, we must pay attention to the war in the immortal world of Liang Kingdom, including the information about Master Fairy, ancient ruins, and Jinyang Sect..."

When he first came to Jing Kingdom, Lu Changan had many plans for the future.

However, we have not yet established a firm foothold, are not familiar with the surrounding environment, and do not have enough connections, so we should not act too hastily.

…

One month later.

Lu Changan adapted to his new identity as an external monk of the Xia family and the owner of Qiufeng Island, and spent his first month in Jing Kingdom peacefully and peacefully.

Soon, Xia's first batch of alchemy materials were delivered to his house.

In fact, Wufu Chamber of Commerce has a second-level high-grade alchemist to worship him, but he is old and has limited energy, so the supply of alchemy exceeds the demand.

The Xia clan also trained a new generation alchemist, but he betrayed the family and was poached.

Lu Changan's arrival is mainly to refine ordinary second-level elixirs and help relieve the pressure on the demand for second-level elixirs.

It would be best if we could train and give guidance to alchemy apprentices.

The art of alchemy requires a lot of talent and understanding. If there is only inheritance and no guidance from an alchemy master, it will be very difficult to explore on your own.

Normal updates will resume after the May Day holiday..
