A few days later.

On the outskirts of Qiufeng Island, a petrified sculpture of a young man with a round face, covered by yellow sandstone soil, cried silently in the howling of the bleak north wind.

"Jingyuan's vital signs are still there, but his flesh, flesh and mana are imprisoned by earth spells and he cannot move."

Xia Shenglan and a fat middle-aged foundation builder came to the stone-skinned Xia Jingyuan.

"Is Lu Gongfeng's punishment too excessive? Jingyuan did not offend him personally. He was just pursuing the maid on the island. What's wrong with him?"

The middle-aged man named Xia Guang, who was in the early stages of building the foundation, was Xia Jingyuan's father.

Xia Guang's face looked ugly and he suppressed his anger.

Lu Changan was a quasi-third-level talisman master in the late stage of foundation establishment. He had a high status in the clan, so he restrained himself from having an attack.

Xia Guang came yesterday, but was rejected. Lu Changan retreated to seclusion without seeing any guests.

The petrification spell that imprisoned Xia Jingyuan was very clever, but he did not dare to act rashly for fear of hurting his son's life.

"This petrification spell should be done by the spiritual pet of fellow Taoist Lu. The rock rat is responsible for the security of the island. After all, he is a monster, so he doesn't know the importance of his actions, which is understandable."

Xia Shenglan pursed her lips and smiled.

She had a good relationship with Xia Wenyue in private and did not sympathize with Xia Jingyuan.

Xia Shenglan could even understand Lu Changan's intentions.

The petrified sculpture in front of you is a kind of shock and a warning to others.

In this way, to avoid the smoky atmosphere of Qiufeng Island, Xia Wenyue can be purer by practicing within the clan.

"Sheng Lan, you have a relationship with Lu Gongfeng, please help us talk to him."

Xia Guang forced a smile on his face.

"Um."

Xia Shenglan did not refuse. Xia Guang is a senior member of the clan. He is much older than her and has a higher seniority.

The words just fell.

There was a "click" sound.

A crack appeared on Xia Jingyuan's petrified body surface, spreading like a spider web.

After a few breaths, a large amount of sand fell down.

thump!

Xia Jingyuan fell softly to the ground, his whole body was weak, his head was gray and his face was gray, and he was very embarrassed.

"Father……"

"a shame!"

Xia Guangyin had a sullen face, waved his hand to roll up Xia Jingyuan, stepped on the escape light, and flew out of Qiufeng Island without looking back.

Xia Shenglan was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

Lu Changan released Xia Jingyuan's imprisonment out of consideration for her.

After the incident was completed, Xia Guang didn't say a single polite word.

Perhaps, he thought that Xia Shenglan's elbows turned outwards were the same as Lu Changan's.

Just that day.

Xia Guang took his son Xia Jingyuan to Shuiliandong to meet the clan leader and file a complaint against Lu Changan.

…

The next day, clan leader Xia Hongyu personally went to Qiufeng Island.

Some Xia clan members believed that Xia Hongyu should seek justice for Xia Guang and his son and warn Lu Changan.

Qiufeng Island, inside the main hall of the mansion.

Lu Changan and Xia Hongyu were chatting and laughing happily.

The matter of Xia Guang and his son was almost brushed aside and was not the focus at all.

"The child was ignorant and offended, which made Lu Gongfeng laugh."

Xia Hongyu is nearly two hundred and fifty years old. Because he is good at maintaining health, he looks like a jade tree, handsome and elegant, and he looks less than forty years old.

A few days ago, Xia Hongyu defeated the False Dan Master of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, and his reputation within the clan reached its peak.

"Where! It's because Lu's spiritual pet is stupid and he acted too harshly."

Lu Changan showed a slight apology and said humbly.

Rationally speaking, Xia Jingyuan did not make a big mistake, at least he did not offend the owner of Qiufeng Island.

As the heir of the Foundation Establishment Elder, pursuing a maid would at best mean stalking her and not doing anything inappropriate.

This is also the reason why Xia Guang is not angry and complains about his son.

"Lu Daoyou has superb medical skills and his method of warming and conditioning is unparalleled! Wen Yue's condition has improved now and her cultivation is smooth. I am very grateful."

After a while, Xia Hongyu changed the topic to Xia Wenyue.

Xia Wenyue happened to brew a pot of spiritual tea and came in to serve the two of them as a maid.

Xia Hongyu looked at her with a hint of warmth.

Xia Wenyue is senior and is his grandniece.

Compared with many heirs, Xia Wenyue actually has certain preferential treatment. Otherwise, before Lu Changan came, it would be impossible to stay on Qiufeng Island in the second-level spiritual vein dojo.

As the ancestor of the family, Xia Hongyu is the oldest, and many monks in the family are his descendants.

Because there are so many descendants, the ancestor’s care is limited and it is impossible for everyone to get the rain and dew equally.

It is destined that only outstanding heirs can get his attention.

"Wen Yue is gentle and quiet, hardworking and hardworking. It was fate that I took action to heal her."

Lu Changan smiled slightly, knowing the real purpose of Xia Hongyu's visit.

"Fate is truly wonderful."

Xia Hongyu recalled Lu Changan's experience of smuggling to Jing Kingdom.

If it weren't for the Immortal Cultivation War and the coincidence of chance, outstanding talents like Lu Changan would never have had a chance at the Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

After Xia Wenyue retired.

Xia Hongyu's expression became serious, and he looked at Lu Changan seriously with his vicissitudes of eyes:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, can you tell me how Wenyue's condition is and whether she can be promoted to the foundation building stage?"

"The condition has stabilized and she will be able to reach the foundation building stage within a few years." Lu Changan said thoughtfully, "However, it will take some years of recuperation to completely cure the root cause of her disease."

"Wen Yue, does she have a special constitution?"

Xia Hongyu's eyes contained expectation and he asked further.

"That's right, she possesses a kind of yin-cold innate Tao body, and her cultivation speed is as fast as the earth's spiritual root."

Lu Changan knew that he could not hide it from the clan leader Xia Hongyu.

In the Wufu Chamber of Commerce, apart from Xia Wenyue's deceased mother, the patriarch is the second person who knows the underlying symptoms of her body.

After Xia Wenyue's condition stabilized, Xia Hongyu naturally made some assumptions about the abnormal speed of cultivation.

"Great! Fellow Daoist Lu is really good news to our Wufu Chamber of Commerce."

After receiving the confirmation, Xia Hongyu, the elderly fake elixir master, could not conceal his excitement.

Although the innate Tao body may be strong or weak, it is generally not inferior to the earthly spiritual root.

Cultivation speed that is comparable to the Earth Spiritual Root means that it is stronger than the Earthly Spiritual Root.

Because the innate Taoist body is not limited to the speed of cultivation, but often has bonuses in spells and magical powers, and even has special innate abilities.

There was a reason why Tuoba Jin back then was able to leapfrog and challenge the fake elixir master.

The world of cultivating immortals is vast, ancient, and has many types of innate Taoist bodies. Lu Changan did not mention the specific ones at the moment.

"We will try our best to conceal Wen Yue's innate Dao body first. We will declare to the outside world that her qualifications are the most top-notch high-grade spiritual roots."

Xia Hongyu and Lu Changan quickly reached an agreement.

…

Next, let’s discuss Xia Wenyue’s future plans.

At this point, Xia Hongyu and Lu Changan had differences.

Xia Hongyu wanted to keep Xia Wenyue in Qingshawan to train her.

The fake elixir-level cultivator family has the resources of the Chamber of Commerce, and with the power of the Xia family, it has the ability to train Xia Wenyue into a true elixir-level cultivator.

As long as Xia Wenyue forms the true elixir, there won't be much risk to the secret of her own Tao body.
