Chapter 623 Qingluan Zhenjun: From now on you can just call me Aunt Mu!
Three months later.
Lu Changsheng, his wife and children returned to Qingluan Fairy City from Yue State.
"Sister Miaoge, take Xiaozhuer and Qier out for a walk. I'll take Xuaner to meet a friend."
Lu Changsheng had already informed Lu Miaoge in advance about sending his son to become an apprentice to True Lord Qingluan.
Although Lu Miaoge was surprised, she readily agreed after hearing Lu Changsheng's idea.
She knew very well that Bihu Mountain, and even the entire Jiang Kingdom, was too small and was just a corner of the Southern Wilderness.
If my son wants to achieve something and form a Nascent Soul in the future, he must go out.
If I could become a disciple of Qingluan Zhenjun, the most famous independent cultivator in Jiang Country, my future would definitely be brighter!
"Good~"
Lu Miaoge, with her gentle temperament, responded softly and took her two daughters to travel and shop in the city.
Lu Changsheng brought his wife Lu Miaohuan and son Lu Qingxuan to the City Lord's Mansion and threw out the green jade gilded order given to him by True Lord Qingluan in his early years.
"Senior please."
When the steward of the City Lord's Mansion saw the token, he immediately and respectfully invited Lu Changsheng and the other two into the mansion, served them tea, and said that the True Lord was in seclusion and he would go and notify them.
"Ah."
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
"Father."
At this time, Lu Qingxuan seemed to realize something and looked at Lu Changsheng.
"Whenever something happens, you should stay calm."
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxuan instantly knew that his guess was correct. He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and tried to calm himself down.
But when he thought that the teacher his father brought him to see was the owner of this fairy city, the number one independent cultivator in Jiang Country, True Lord Qingluan, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Not only Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan and others grew up listening to the legendary stories of Qingluan Zhenren in their early years and yearned for it, and so did he.
Although Lu Miaohuan, who was standing next to him, had met True Lord Qingluan once, she was still a little nervous and awkward at this moment, and held Lu Changsheng's hand tightly.
If Lu Changsheng hadn't told her not to worry, she would have even wanted to return to the Tianyuan Baohuang Lotus.
It is certainly not possible to meet a Nascent Soul cultivator like True Lord Qingluan just by saying so.
Although the steward said that True Lord Qingluan was in seclusion, under normal circumstances, this is basically the claim he made regardless of whether he was there or not.
After waiting for nearly an hour, True Lord Qingluan, dressed in a luxurious jade robe and exquisite brocade boots, finally arrived.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, I've been waiting for a long time."
She looked at Lu Changsheng in the hall, then glanced at Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, and bowed slightly.
However, just a simple glance made Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan feel like they were seen through.
"Is this the number one independent cultivator in Jiang Country, True Lord Qingluan?"
Lu Qingxuan sat upright and wanted to stand up to salute, but his body was a little stiff.
"Please trouble True Lord Qingluan to come here."
Lu Changsheng guessed that True Lord Qingluan should have just arrived from the Poison Dragon Pond.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng is here to visit, I will certainly entertain you well. Next time, please let me know in advance so that I can prepare a banquet for you."
True Lord Qingluan smiled casually and sat down opposite Lu Changsheng, without any airs of a True Lord Yuanying.
Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, who were standing by, looked slightly dazed when they saw their husbands and fathers talking to the Jiang Kingdom's number one independent cultivator, Yuanying Zhenjun, as if they were close friends.
Although she knew that her husband and father were very powerful, being the lord of Dameng Fairy City, and able to kill a great cultivator in the late Jindan stage with one sword.
However, because their relationship was too close and Lu Changsheng did not normally act with much authority, they were unable to directly feel the impact of this status change.
Now Lu Changsheng and True Lord Qingluan are on speaking terms with each other, chatting and laughing happily, and the two of them instantly have a clearer understanding of each other.
She realized that her husband and father might still be gentle and polite at home, but outside, he could be a top monk who could dominate the lives of countless monks!
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lu Changsheng introduced Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, then bowed and said, "To be honest, I came to Xiancheng to visit you because I have something to ask of you."
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, please feel free to speak."
Although she couldn't figure out Lu Changsheng's intention, when she saw Lu Miaohuan and Lu Qingxuan, she had some guesses and premonitions in her mind.
"You should know that I am not good at divination, but my son happens to be quite interested in it, so I want to find a teacher for him to see if my son's talent can impress you."
Lu Changsheng said with a cupped hand.
Lu Qingxuan next to him immediately bowed.
Apprentice?
True Lord Qingluan did not speak.
In the world of cultivating immortals, becoming a disciple is not a casual matter.
Once you accept a disciple, it is like having a new parent, and the person will be affected by the fate of cause and effect.
Especially Lu Qingxuan who is in front of her as a disciple, she will also have some kind of causal relationship with Lu Changsheng, the "Nascent Soul Old Monster".
Although she had previously wanted to form an alliance with Lu Changsheng to improve her ability to resist risks.
It can be confirmed that Lu Changsheng is the reincarnation of an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage. After seeing the extremely mysterious 'Li Muwan', she is now wary and alert of Lu Changsheng.
Another reason is that her divination heritage is different from that of ordinary people.
Once it is known and leaked to others, it will have a great impact on you.
At this time, Lu Changsheng asked his son to worship him as his master and learn divination, which really made her think too much.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng also knows that the Poison Dragon Pond is currently being reclaimed and the construction of the Immortal City is in progress. I really have no time to be distracted, and I have no plans to accept any disciples."
"If you request, I can make you a registered disciple and give you some pointers on a daily basis. However, as for divination, my inheritance is difficult for ordinary people to get started."
True Lord Qingluan pondered for a moment.
Although it is impossible to predict Lu Changsheng's situation, one can still sense good and bad fortune from some mysterious perspective.
I think making friends with Lu Changsheng has both advantages and disadvantages, but in most cases, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
So in this situation, he is willing to accept Lu Qingxuan as a registered disciple, so as to observe and see what Lu Changsheng's purpose is in becoming his disciple.
"Registered disciple."
When Lu Changsheng came here this time, he actually didn't have much hope of his son becoming his disciple.
He was mainly thinking about his son obtaining the hexagram inheritance that would not consume his lifespan from True Lord Qingluan, and coming to Qingluan Fairy City to broaden his horizons and gain some experience.
Now it seems that inheritance may be difficult.
"How about this, let my son practice in Qingluan Immortal City for ten years. If you have time, you can give him some pointers and instructions. If you don't have time, it's no big deal. Arrange some things for him to learn and gain experience."
"By then, if you feel that my son's talent is just barely acceptable, you can accept him as a registered disciple. If there is really no chance for us, you won't force me."
Lu Changsheng saw that True Lord Qingluan was reluctant to accept a disciple, but he didn't want to completely embarrass himself, so he agreed.
In this situation, he did not force it and even took the initiative to give in.
After all, without the ability to inherit divination, there is no point in having the status of a registered disciple.
If my son can gain the recognition of True Lord Qingluan and be accepted as his disciple within ten years, it will mean there is a chance.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingluan readily responded, "Of course you can."
Compared to having a master-disciple relationship, it is better to have a normal relationship.
This will not only allow him to further interact with Lu Changsheng, but also allow him to observe Lu Qingxuan and understand Lu Changsheng's situation.
"In that case, I'll be grateful to you for taking care of my son from now on."
Lu Changsheng cupped his hands, then said to his son: "Xuan'er, why don't you thank the True Lord?"
"Junior Lu Qingxuan, thank you Master Zhenjun!"
Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath and bowed.
"Since you are the son of Taoist Changsheng, you can call me Aunt Mu from now on."
Lu Qingxuan in front of him must be no ordinary offspring since he was sent by Lu Changsheng to become his disciple, so True Lord Qingluan was also willing to acknowledge this junior.
"Is this Qingluan Zhenjun's surname Mu, or does his name contain the word Mu?"
Although they have known each other for such a long time, Lu Changsheng still doesn’t know the name of True Lord Qingluan.
This is a normal phenomenon in the world of immortal cultivation.
After many cultivators have broken through to the Jindan stage, they use their Taoist names and abandon their real names, and the outside world gradually forgets their real names.
"Thank you Aunt Mu!"
Although True Lord Qingluan's voice was calm and majestic, even a little indifferent and distant, his words were an acknowledgement of him as a junior.
After temporarily resolving the issue of his son Lu Qingxuan, Lu Changsheng continued to drink tea and chat with True Lord Qingluan.
At this time, True Lord Qingluan said that the layout of the destiny of Dameng Fairy City had been completed.
"No wonder."
Lu Changsheng suddenly realized.
Just now he felt that the other party's attitude was slightly different from before, and he suspected that the other party had some purpose.
Now it seems that Honglian is doing very well and has confirmed his identity as the reincarnation of his Nascent Soul.
"Thank you, Master."
Lu Changsheng also asked about the construction of the fairy city in the Poison Dragon Pond.
"It will take at least several decades to completely clean up the poisonous miasma of the Poison Dragon Pond, modify the mountains and rivers, and build the Immortal City."
True Lord Qingluan shook his head and said.
It is not easy to build a fourth-level immortal city.
The initial amount of work is huge and requires massive investment of resources.
If not for this, the Tianjian Sect would not have been able to hand over the Poison Dragon Pond, a fourth-level spiritual land, to True Lord Qingluan.
After chatting for half an hour.
"In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of me. If there's anything wrong with me, you can always send me a message."
Lu Changsheng bowed and said goodbye very politely.
Then he said to his son, "Xuan'er, when you see your Aunt Mu in the future, you must respect her as if she were your father, understand?"
"Please rest assured, father. I understand."
From the conversation just now, Lu Qingxuan also knew that his father might owe him a favor by sending him here.
Therefore, I must perform well next time and strive to gain the recognition of True Lord Qingluan.
"Ah."
Lu Changsheng gave him a few more instructions, then said goodbye and left with Lu Miaohuan.
"Since you have a lot of experience in management, you can serve as a manager in Xiancheng first."
After Lu Changsheng left, True Lord Qingluan looked at Lu Qingxuan, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome and solemn, full of majesty.
Even though Lu Qingxuan had been the head of the family for many years and was already a leader among his peers, he still felt an indescribable pressure when facing this True Lord alone, and he dared not look him in the face.
"Thank you Aunt Mu."
He bowed and said.
"Regarding divination, do you have any doubts or questions at the moment?"
Although the hexagram tradition of True Lord Qingluan is different from most hexagram traditions, one method can lead to all methods, so it is naturally not a problem to guide Lu Qingxuan.
Lu Qingxuan immediately expressed his doubts about divination.
True Lord Qingluan nodded slightly, realizing that the hexagram inheritance that Lu Qingxuan had obtained was quite good, and should be a third-level or even fourth-level inheritance.
Just as Lu Changsheng said, without any famous teacher to guide him, he had to rely entirely on his own exploration.
Whether it is the manual of martial arts or the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, it is very easy to go astray if there is only inheritance but no one to teach.
Especially a mysterious inheritance like divination.
As True Lord Qingluan explained and enlightened him, Lu Qingxuan suddenly felt as if the fog had cleared and he suddenly understood.
I feel that Aunt Mu's understanding of divination is much higher than that of Master Du whom my father hired before.
Although he also benefited a lot from Master Du, he was still incomparable to this True Lord!
"Husband, is it okay to leave Xuan'er here like this?"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Miaohuan was still a little worried.
"This Qingluan Zhenjun is trustworthy at the moment. I gave her the Heavenly Phoenix True Feather before, and she owes me three favors. It's just a small matter like this, so she will naturally take good care of Xuan'er."
Lu Changsheng did not force himself to become a registered disciple, but he hoped that True Lord Qingluan could take care of his son as much as possible.
In this case, how much can be gained depends on the son's own performance.
"If Xuan'er stays in Bihu Mountain all the time, it will only waste his talent. Qingluan Fairy City is located at the border of Jiang Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, and it is now expanding to guard the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Xuan'er can also gain more experience and learn more here."
Although true training may require leaving Jiang State and heading to the vaster world of cultivating immortals.
But food must be eaten bite by bite, and for now, Jiang Guo is enough for the family's children to grow up.
A moment later, Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge and the other two reunited.
"Changsheng, Xuan'er."
Lu Miaoge didn't see her son, and her beautiful eyes were filled with joy and some worry.
"No disciples."
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly and said, "Just let him study here and gain some experience."
"Dad, what happened to my brother? Isn't he going back?"
Lu Qingqi, holding pastries in her hands, also asked with concern.
"Daddy has a friend here who happens to be proficient in divination, so I sent Xuan'er to her to learn for a while. If you miss him in the future, you can come to Xiancheng to find him."
Lu Changsheng patted his daughter's head and explained.
"Oh."
Lu Qingqi felt a little reluctant.
In the entire family, she has the best relationship with her younger brother Lu Qingxuan.
Although the latter is half a year younger than her, the two of them are like brother and sister.
"It's not far from Qingyun Market to Qingluan Fairy City, and you can also take a spirit ship. You should practice well when you go home, so as not to be left far behind by Xuan'er."
Lu Miaohuan next to her urged her daughter.
Although Lu Qingxuan was not accepted as a disciple by True Lord Qingluan, his future will not be bad.
"I know~"
Lu Qingqi responded weakly, wondering how she could compare with her younger brother.
"Xiaoqi, you are the best. I believe in you."
Lu Qingzhu encouraged her sister.
"But I don't believe in myself, sister, you don't know."
In his early years, Lu Qingqi always believed that his younger brother was delayed by family affairs and his cultivation ability was similar to his own.
But when Qingzhu Mountain was attacked and attacked midway, she found that her brother was much stronger than her.
As he spoke, he described his brother's fighting ability with excited gestures, saying how powerful the magic was. If he hadn't been delayed by family affairs, his brother's cultivation would have been even higher.
Moreover, my younger brother studies the art of divination and is good at fortune-telling.
It was only when Lu Qingzhu listened to his sister's chattering that he realized how capable his brother was.
Before, Lu Qingxuan had always behaved like a gentle gentleman, without the slightest bit of arrogance, and was very humble, completely different from his brother Lu Qingshan.
Since he had come to Qingluan Fairy City, Lu Changsheng also went to visit Xiao Xiyue, Zhao Qingqing, and his children who were training here.
Moreover, Lu Miaoge, Lu Miaohuan and others had never seen the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range after it was reclaimed.
