Chapter 29 Negotiation
"Huh~, it's finally out."
Lu Xuan let out a long sigh and looked back at the cave embedded in the mountainside.
Next to the open space in front of the gate, there were two rows of bright crimson trees, which looked very pleasing to the eye from a distance.
But in Lu Xuan's eyes at this moment, this place has become a den of dragons and tigers. It is easy to get in but difficult to get out.
He stayed in there for a few days and was almost broken.
When the torture was finally over and he was about to leave, he was caught by his master Fan Qianyue again, leaving him with an indelible black history and his personal freedom was completely controlled from then on.
"Despite all the hardships, at least there are some gains."
Lu Xuan looked at the illusory system prompt in front of him, sighed lightly, and said to comfort himself.
[The whole night was spent with Master in love, and the whole process was recorded, leaving evidence]
[Reward: randomly comprehend one of their magical powers, and your Taoist partner's blackening value +1000]
Bang!
A golden-red flame ignited from Lu Xuan's fingertips. This was Fan Qianyue's famous magical power, the Phoenix True Fire.
It can not only be used to defend against enemies, but also to heal wounds. If cultivated to a high level, even if one is seriously injured, as long as there is still a breath left, one can be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix.
Although Lu Xuan relied on the system to directly control it, his own magic power was not enough to support him to use the complete magical power. Currently, he could only ignite a flame-sized one.
Supernatural powers are something that a Jindan cultivator cannot touch. Even a Yuanying Zhenren can barely use a part of them. Only when they reach the Shenhua stage can they truly unleash their power.
"Tsk, after all this time, this reward is useless."
Lu Xuan raised his hand and rubbed his temple. He was originally very excited when he saw that he could directly comprehend a magical power, but he didn't expect that it would be of no use at this stage.
"But why is the blackening value only one thousand this time? Could it be that there are more of the same person and he has resistance?"
Looking at the numbers on the panel, Lu Xuan couldn't help but frown.
"Alas~, the marrow cleansing spirit liquid Ningyan has also developed resistance, and the range of blackening value gain is getting smaller and smaller."
Lu Xuan rubbed his face vigorously, his expression unable to hide his haggardness. It was completely unknown how his life would turn out in the future.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! Let's go find my junior sister first and negotiate the matter of refining the pills. We can talk about it after we make some money."
Speaking of Liu Mengyao, Lu Xuan suddenly thought of her previous proposal. If he had known that returning to his master's cave would be like this, he might as well have stayed in his junior sister's mansion.
Moving there with Xia Ningyan, not only is the scenery pleasant, but the concentration of spiritual energy is also high, which is conducive to awakening the Taoist body. Also, there is no need to worry about what the junior sister in the early Jindan stage will do to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan felt more and more regretful. He should have stayed at Liu Mengyao's place that day, so that the things that happened later would not have happened.
Looking at the clouds in the sky with melancholy, Lu Xuan stared for a while, then put his fingers together and summoned the Qingyun Sword.
He stepped on the bronze sword, and after a buzzing sound of the sword, the whole person quickly turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
coax!
A sonic boom sounded and a strong wind blew on his body, causing Lu Xuan to squint his eyes instantly. Under normal circumstances, he would use his body-protecting magic power to block the strong wind.
But now, he just wanted the wind to blow away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Not long after, Lu Xuan flew to Changchun Peak on his sword and landed directly in front of Liu Mengyao's mansion.
"Junior sister, are you there? Senior brother wants to discuss something with you."
Because the mansion in front of him was so huge, no one inside could hear him even if he knocked on the door, so Lu Xuan simply shouted at the top of his voice.
"Brother, you came to see me without even notifying me via the Jade Message in advance. It seems like you have something important to tell me~"
The voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw Liu Mengyao tilting her head slightly and looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Junior sister? How did you get behind me?"
Lu Xuan was surprised. He looked at Liu Mengyao and asked with a puzzled look. "Brother, guess~"
Liu Mengyao stuck out her tongue and was deliberately vague.
"How could I have guessed that?"
Lu Xuan scratched his head with a smile. Looking at Liu Mengyao's bright and pretty face, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Better yet, I have the bright and cheerful little junior sister. It makes me feel like my soul is purified.
"It was just a coincidence. I was just taking a walk and saw you coming from afar, so I hid myself.
I will come out and scare you after my brother lands."
"That's it."
This explanation was very reasonable and did not arouse any suspicion from Lu Xuan.
However, in reality, he had already been under surveillance by Liu Mengyao, and the entire Daoyan Sect was filled with her spies.
As soon as Lu Xuan left Feiyue Peak, she received the news that he was heading towards her.
Liu Mengyao immediately stopped the running alchemy furnace, not caring that the pills had turned into waste, and quickly walked to the door, waiting for Lu Xuan.
"Okay, Senior Brother, what do you want to talk to Mengyao about? Tell me, as long as it is within your ability.
I will try my best to help you, brother."
"Well, it's a long story. To put it simply, Senior Brother needs your help in refining some pills."
Lu Xuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. The key to his way of making money all depended on his junior sister.
His role was that of a distributor and middleman, and the most important product was the unique elixir refined by Liu Mengyao.
If there was no Liu Mengyao, Lu Xuan's so-called way to make money would only remain at the stage of idea.
"Pills? I wonder what type of pills Senior Brother wants me to make?"
Liu Mengyao narrowed her eyes and her expression no longer looked so kind.
She thought that Lu Xuan came to ask her for the elixir for Xia Ningyan again, and her originally expectant mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Is it Senior Sister Ningyan? What happened to her?"
"It has nothing to do with Ningyan. Senior brother wants to make some money and wants to recruit you, junior sister, to join the group. Senior brother and junior sister will split the profits 50-50."
After hesitating for a while, Lu Xuan slowly told his plan.
"In a few months, the sect will hold a competition among all the peaks. As you know, Junior Sister, this time the higher-ups have increased the rewards in order to motivate the disciples to participate.
This caused everyone to become very enthusiastic and eager to fight, so the senior brother wanted to take the opportunity to sell pills that could increase combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
The prospect of profit is definitely considerable, but if you want to seize the market, you must not only be able to deceive the drug inspection within the sect, but also be able to crush similar competing elixirs.
Among the people I know, the only one who can do this is you, Junior Sister, so."
"Oh~, so it's this business."
Hearing this, Liu Mengyao was not surprised. Then, she told Lu Xuan a fact that instantly chilled his heart.
"Brother, you are not the only one who has this idea. Many people have come to me a long time ago~"
