  Chapter 59 Background and Foot

   Back to the inn.

  Lu Changan sold off the stolen goods for the last time, selling four magical artifacts, and the recovery price was two hundred and dozens of spirit stones.

  Three trips to sell stolen goods today, sold a total of six or seven hundred spirit stones. Although it was a bit of a loss, it did save a lot of trouble.

  Lu Changan returned to his original appearance and retired from the inn room.

  Pass through the shops in the business district.

  He paid attention to the raw materials of the second-order talismans.

  Second-level talisman paper, spiritual ink, and talisman pens are drawn from second-level monsters, corresponding to the foundation-building period, and are very scarce.

  …

  Guan Daochang's booth is on this market street, so Lu Changan stopped by to have a look.

   "Brother Lu."

  The bright-eyed and white-toothed girl in Ruqun has just completed a deal with a customer.

  Seeing the quiet young man in white robe, Guan Qiaozhi's eyes lit up, and she waved happily.

   "Old Guan, how is business today?"

  Lu Changan came to the booth and looked at the goods.

   Talisman paper, spiritual ink, monster fur, talisman atlas, and middle and low-grade talismans.

  After Lu Changan came to Huanglong Immortal City, he took a little care of Master Guan and his apprentice.

  He needed raw materials to draw talismans, so he simply used relatively cheap talismans to exchange materials with Guan Taoist master and apprentice.

   This is beneficial to both parties.

  Guan Daochang's booth has more good-quality imported talismans. Although the profit itself is not high, it can expand the category and improve the reputation.

  In the past two years, the revenue and profit of the booth have increased slightly.

   As far as Lu Changan is concerned, it not only obtains the materials for painting symbols, but also provides more channels for selling symbols.

   I have to say that Guan Qiaozhi is really ingenious, at such a young age, she is very good at making talisman paper, even high-quality talisman paper can do it.

   "Thanks to Lu Fushi, the business is going well. In a few years, we will gain a firm foothold in the inner city."

  Guan Daochang's face stretched out, with a happy smile.

  Although Lu Changan recognized him as an immortal, Daoist Guan did not regard himself as a senior, and usually referred to him as Master Lu Fu.

   "Qiaozhi's craftsmanship is really good."

  Lu Changan picked out a few high-quality talisman papers and was quite satisfied.

   "Of course! I also helped the puppet master next door handle the puppet parts. Master Sang also praised my handiness and said that he would give me a puppet dog in the future."

  Sixteen-year-old Guan Qiaozhi has delicate and delicate features, pure and agile, and when it comes to pride, her eyebrows are crescent-shaped.

  In the past two years, she gradually forgot the fact that Lu Changan was older than her biological father.

   There is a trace of trust and intimacy with this senior brother who came out halfway.

  Lu Chang'an secretly regretted: Guan Qiaozhi's spiritual sense is mediocre, otherwise the talent of ingenuity, no matter drawing symbols or becoming a puppet master, would be a good choice.

  While the two were talking, three male cultivators came over aggressively.

   "Old man Guan! Why are you setting up a stall here again?"

  He is the blue-shirted monk who is the first to refine the eighth layer of Qi, and he has a bad complexion.

   "Fellow Daoist Meng, there is no clear regulation in the stall area of ​​the market, so we are not allowed to set up a stall here."

  Guan Daochang has a little scruples and a calm theory.

   "The price of the talismans you sell is relatively low, which violates the regulations of the 'Fu League'. Either go to a distant place to set up a stall, or the price must meet the quality."

  The blue shirt monk said dissatisfied.

   "Old man Guan, I advise you to be more sensible. There are no express regulations in the stall area, but there are unspoken rules here, and violators will not end well."

   "You can be tough when you are old, but you have to think about your female apprentice."

  The two behind the blue-shirted monk gave advice and threats, whether overt or covert.

  Seeing this scene, Lu Changan instantly understood the reason.

   It is nothing more than the fact that Daoist Guan's talisman is high in quality and cheap, and his income has increased, making his colleagues unhappy.

  The price of the talismans sold by Guan Daochang is actually normal, but the quality is slightly better. After all, it was a talisman refined by Lu Chang'an, with high and stable quality.

  One does not violate the regulations of the market stall area.

  Second, it will not affect the market order, and it is not considered a malicious price reduction.

  The so-called 'Fu Meng' mostly used chicken feathers as arrows.

   During a period of Qi refining, how much voice can you have in the Fushi Alliance?

   "Fellow Daoist, I would like to ask. In this market, is your 'Fu Meng' the most orderly, or Huanglong Immortal City's most orderly?"

  Lu Changan said lukewarmly.

"Who are you?"

  The blue-shirted monk frowned, and looked at the young monk in the late stage of Qi refining in front of him.

  The main reason they threatened Guan Daochang and the other two was that they were weak and easy to bully.

   Want to blackmail a little favor.

   Lu Changan's question, they are really difficult to answer.

  In Huanglong Immortal City, the biggest rule is naturally Liang Guo's number one casual cultivator, Huanglong Daoist.

  The real Huanglong is famous far and wide. Not only is he in the middle stage of alchemy, but he also has a third-order earth dragon spirit beast, which contains a trace of the blood of the ancient Huanglong.

   "This fellow Taoist, what does this matter have to do with you?"

  The three of them knew they were wrong, and avoided Lu Changan's questioning.

   "My surname is Lu, and I provide talismans for Guan Lao's booth. Do you think it's related?"

  Lu Changan said angrily.

  The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.

   "Dare to ask, what kind of talisman master is Fellow Daoist Lu?"

  The leading monk in blue shirt squeezed a smile on his face, showing a lot of politeness.

   "First-rank top grade."

  The complexions of the three of them changed slightly, and their momentum weakened a bit.

   "Your Excellency, as a top-rank talisman master, why didn't you join the talisman alliance. My teacher is a second-level talisman master in the Huanglong Immortal City talisman alliance. I wonder where fellow Daoist Lu is?"

  The blue-shirted monk said with flickering eyes.

  Many stall owners and monks around watched the excitement, so he couldn't lose his momentum and used the title of second-level talisman master.

   "I don't care what talisman alliance you are, a second-level talisman master. Lu's friend is a foundation cultivator in Jinyun Valley. If you continue to mess around and question whether you believe it or not, you can go to the Jinyun Valley resident to argue."

  Lu Changan spoke forcefully, and showed a token of Jinyun Valley.

   "Golden Cloud Valley's foundation-building friend?"

  The three blue-shirted monks trembled in their hearts. How could they dare to continue to pester them, who were pretending to be powerful.

   "Master Lu Fu, today's matter is just a misunderstanding, everyone's harmony makes money."

  The blue-shirted monk smiled mischievously.

  Actually, he was only fortunate to have heard the public preaching of a second-rank talisman master, and saying that he is a teacher is putting money on his face.

  The three of them said a few polite words and left angrily.

  The surrounding stall owners cast amazed gazes, not daring to underestimate Master Guan and his disciples any longer.

  …

  Lu Changan shouted back the market bully in a few words.

  Guan Qiaozhi's bright eyes were shining like stars, and she couldn't help asking:

   "Senior brother Lu, do you really have a foundation-building friend from Jinyun Valley?"

   Regarding this matter, Guan Lao is skeptical.

  He knew that the three blue-shirted monks were using tiger skin as a banner.

  Lu Changan is probably the same.

   After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, background is very important.

  The low-level monks often like to exaggerate their own background in order to get along.

   "I dare to show the token publicly, so naturally I can't fake it. After all, Huanglong Immortal City has the residence of Jinyun Valley."

  Lu Changan moved out of Jinyun Valley's relationship, not just to take care of the disciples and grandchildren of Taoist Guan.

   This background relationship is one of his confidence to gain a foothold in Huanglong Immortal City. If others want to pay attention to him, they have to weigh it.

  This can filter out a lot of trouble for him.

  If you have a background relationship, you have to hide it and move out when you really run into trouble. Maybe you can pretend to be a slap in the face.

  But it is more likely to form an enemy and drag Zhao Siyao into the water.

  Lu Changan naturally wouldn't do that kind of irrational and immature behavior.

  Confirming that Lu Changan really has the relationship with Jin Yungu's foundation building, Taoist Guan's eyes flickered, and he realized that he had underestimated Lu Changan before.

   "Master Lu Fu, you helped us solve a problem. Tonight, please come to the humble house for a few drinks."

  Guan Daochang invited with a smile.

   "Okay." Lu Changan felt moved when he thought of Guan Qiaozhi's cooking skills.

  …

  The sun has just set.

  Guan Daochang, master and apprentice closed the stall, and went back to the streets of Jinxiufang with Lu Changan.

   Just arrived at the door of Taoist Guan's house.

   "Hey, Lu Fushi actually set up a stall with Guan Lao, could it be that she fell in love with that little girl?"

  Su Yuetong from the opposite courtyard giggled, full of flair.

   "Sister Su, come to make fun of me again!"

  Guan Qiaozhi blushed, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Changan.

  Lu Changan smiled and shook his head, ignoring it.

  The solitary nun next door to him is not an ordinary idler.

  I don’t have any skills, but I dress brightly all day long. I often go to the city to spend a lot of money, buy beautiful robes, beauty pills, eat precious spiritual fruits, and occasionally go out for spiritual feasts.

   This woman seems to have a concubine!

   Several times late at night, Lu Changan found a burly man who quietly entered Su Yuetong's other courtyard, and would leave again in the middle of the night.

  That burly man is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his mana is much higher than that of the same level.

   Lu Changan has no desire to find out about other people's privacy, but is instinctively wary of Su Yuetong.

  …

  Guan Qiaozhi felt embarrassed and ran to the back kitchen to cook.

   After a while, several delicious dishes were served, and the little girl was still busy.

  Guan Daochang sighed: "I am an old bone, and I can live for more than ten years at most. I don't know who will take advantage of this caring girl in the future."

   "Old Guan, don't want to say unlucky words. There are old and legendary figures in the world of cultivating immortals."

  Lu Changan did not respond to Guan Qiaozhi's topic.

   This made Taoist Guan a little disappointed.

   "Let me toast first, and wish Guan Laoxian a long life."

   "I would like to borrow your good words."

  Guan Daochang drank a cup, glanced at the back kitchen, and lowered his voice:

   "Three years ago, Master Du said that he wanted Qiaozhi to work as a maid in his house...I didn't agree!"

  Lu Changan was stunned. Daoist Guan said that being a maid was a euphemism, but in fact he was a concubine!

  Three years ago, Guan Qiaozhi was only thirteen years old.

  Dewey can say this, he really is a money-grubbing and lustful person.

  …

  The two mentioned Du Danshi that night.

  The next day, Lu Changan received an invitation from Dewey.

   Said that he took a beautiful concubine, and invited him to the Du Mansion for a wedding in three days.
