  Chapter 123 Bankruptcy and Elimination of Disasters

   Seeing Chen Sheng, the housekeeper Lan Lin concealed her disgust.

   "What is the name of this senior?"

  She went up and saluted the black-skinned old man.

   "My old man, Zheng Wu, moved to Tiexing Mountain Villa with his clan in the past two years. I heard that there is a second-order formation mage with outstanding attainments in Wuqi Mountain, so I came here to ask for the formation."

  The black-skinned old man squeezed out a smile on his face, but it was a little awkward to match his fierce face.

   "Tie Xing Villa?"

  When Lan Lin heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Sheng.

  Tie Xing Villa, which was the original spiritual residence of Chen Sheng's family, was mortgaged and sold decades ago.

   "Senior Zheng comes with me."

   Lan Lin led the way in front, came to Xiaopan Peak, and negotiated with it.

   "Chen Sheng, don't bother me."

  An unhappy voice came, and a tall, elegant and dignified beauty walked out of Xiaopan Peak's cave.

  Zheng Wu frowned slightly, and glanced at Chen Sheng.

  Chen Sheng coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly:

   "Manrong, this time I'm here to introduce business to you. This fellow Daoist Zheng Wu is the new owner of Tiexing Villa and the patriarch of the Zheng family."

  Hearing the words "Tiexing Villa", Shi Manrong was taken aback, feeling complicated.

  She was adopted by the Chen family since she was a child, where she grew up, practiced formations, got married and started a family.

   "It turned out to be Zheng Daoyou, please come in and discuss."

  Shi Manrong gracefully raised her hand and opened the formation.

  Chen Sheng showed joy, and entered Xiaopan Peak together with Zheng Wu.

  …

  Little Guifeng, Lu Changan finished his daily practice and treasure talisman cultivation.

  Go out of the cave and check the growth of spirit wood herbs on the mountain.

   When he first moved to Xiaoguifeng twenty years ago, Lu Changan planted a lot of elixir seeds and spirit wood seedlings.

  The older the age, the higher the value of these spiritual wood herbs.

   "Brother Lu, Chen Sheng's rascal is here again, and he brought a fierce-looking Foundation Establishment cultivator with him, asking Fairy Shi for help."

  Every time Chen Sheng came, Guan Qiaozhi would tip off the news.

  Lu Changan nodded and didn't care. It didn't sound like he was looking for him.

   Half an hour later.

  Chen Sheng and the black-skinned old man named Zheng Wu left Xiaopan Peak.

   "Brother Zheng should be satisfied with my ex-wife's formation plan, right? Brother's reward, isn't it..."

  Chen Sheng had a flattering smile.

"Um."

  Zheng Wu snorted, and casually threw him a small bag of spirit stones.

  Chen Sheng took a look, his face was not good-looking, there were only a dozen or so spirit stones in it, and some broken spirit sand.

   "I heard that Wu Qishan also has a second-level alchemist and talisman master. Can Brother Chen introduce it?"

   Zheng Wu narrowed his narrow eyes slightly.

  …

   "Hey! This person..."

  On the Little Turtle Peak, Lu Changan casually glanced at Chen Sheng and Chen Sheng who were flying in the distance.

  His eyes fixed on the burly black-skinned old man.

  Although he has aged a lot, and the scars on his face have almost disappeared, Lu Changan still recognizes his identity.

   "Brother Lu, do you know that old man who established the foundation?"

  Guan Qiaozhi noticed his expression.

   "Well, this person is nicknamed 'Zheng Centipede', and he was once the ninth-level elder of Qi Refining of the Zheng family in Zhuye Mountain."

  A surprise appeared on Lu Changan's face.

   Decades ago.

   Zheng Centipede once led a team to intercept and kill their batch of fairy seedlings in front of Feiyue Lake.

  Later, the Zhuye Mountain of the Zheng family was breached by the Mu family, and they chose to surrender to the Maple Leaf Huang family.

   Zheng Centipede, as the only remaining ninth level of Qi Refining, moved away with a line of people.

   At that time, in order to relocate safely, Zheng Centipede also went to Yushou Zhou's family to plead, and got the consent of Zhou's family, telling Mu and Huang's family not to kill them all.

   On the way of relocation, he was bumped into by Lu Changan, and he killed Zheng's ugly woman for revenge.

   "Zhuyeshan Zheng's family? Is it the current Zhuyeshan Fang City?"

   Guan Qiaozhi suddenly said.

  Looking at Zheng Centipede and Chen Sheng going away.

  Lu Changan fell into deep thought, and was a little tangled.

   Between him and Zheng Centipede, if there is a deep hatred, it would not be enough.

  The two have never met face to face, and there is no direct grievance or conflict of interest.

  In the early years, Zheng Centipede might not remember his character.

   To say that there is no hatred.

   Zheng Centipede once led a team to intercept Xianmiao and threatened him.

  At that time, Lu Changan was only at the first level of refining Qi, and it was the most vulnerable period.

   "Qiaozhi, go out and inquire about Zheng Centipede."

   Lu Changan ordered.

   "Yes, Brother Lu."

  Guan Qiaozhi flew out of Xiaoguifeng.

  In addition to the three main peaks, Wuqi Mountain also has some casual cultivators who are attached to them. By serving the three main peaks, they get the qualification to practice in Wuqi Mountain.

  Some of them are better informed.

   An hour later, Guan Qiaozhi came back and reported the general news.

   "The second-tier Lingmai family residence that Chen Sheng mortgaged and sold before was bought by the Zheng family who moved over two years ago because the agreement expired..."

  Lu Changan understood cause and effect.

  The tribe that Zheng Centipede brought out back then was full of tenacity, far away from the Zhuye Mountain area, and through hard work, they succeeded in continuing.

  Lu Changan suspected that Zheng centipede should have carried some precious supplies hidden by the Zheng family in the early years.

  As long as the migrating line can be born in the foundation building period, there will be a day when it will rise again.

   Judging from the induction just now, Zheng Centipede's three-level cultivation of the foundation has stagnated at the bottleneck for a long time.

   He should have been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage decades ago, and it wasn't until these two years that he led his clansmen to find a land of the Lingmai Clan.

  …

   A few days later.

  A ray of light quickly turned back and returned to Wuqi Mountain.

  The black-skinned old man with a strong body flew to the small turtle peak on the back of the light.

   "The Zheng family 'Zheng Wu' from Zhuye Mountain used to come to pay a visit to Lu Fushi."

   Zheng Centipede's voice was low and his face was solemn.

   Waited for about ten breaths.

   "Senior Zheng, my master is here to invite you."

  A beautiful woman in Ruqun came to greet her.

  Both are foundation-building monks, and Zheng Centipede is the head of the family.

  Lu Changan only sent a maid to greet him, which is actually a bit contemptuous.

   "Madam please lead the way."

   Centipede Zheng looked calm, spoke kindly, and showed no displeasure.

   Enter the main hall of Dongfu.

  A gentle and quiet man in white clothes came into view.

   "Zheng Daoyou, I have admired your name for a long time when I was young, and I only got it for a while today."

  Lu Changan said with a smile.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu is serious! Zheng has been fascinated by your reputation for inspiration for a long time."

   Zheng Centipede bowed his hands and saluted.

  Lu Changan returned a salute, and raised his hand to invite the guests to sit down.

  Centipede Zheng sat down, feeling complicated.

  Decades ago, when he intercepted and killed those seedlings in front of Feiyue Lake, he only glanced at Lu Changan.

  At that time, Lu Changan was at the first level of Qi Refining, and killed the new generation of the clan at the third level of Qi Refining.

  Later, Zheng Feng, an ugly woman in the family, had been bent on revenge for many years, but he had only heard of this name inadvertently.

  At that time, Lu Changan was just an insignificant person to him.

  A few days ago, he followed Chen Sheng's guidance and came to Wuqi Mountain to seek the formation.

  Afterwards, Chen Sheng introduced the other two peak masters of Mount Wuqi.

   It wasn't until halfway, when he recalled the scattered fragments deep in his memory, that he finally confirmed the identity of that Lu Fu master.

  …

  Lu Changan chatted with Zheng Centipede for a while, and learned about the current situation of the Zheng family.

  The Zheng family has just moved to Tiexing Villa, and its overall strength is not as good as that of the Zhuyeshan Zheng family in its heyday.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is a wish from this old man."

   Zheng Centipede squeezed out a smile on his pitted and scarred face, and presented a bag of Lingshi.

   "In the past, if Zheng had offended him, he hoped that he would not see it in his heart."

  Lu Changan took the spirit stone, and his spiritual sense scanned it, and there were a thousand spirit stones.

   "Zheng Daoyou is too polite."

  Lu Changan put away the spirit stone, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

   "There is no personal grievance between you and me. What's more, Lu Mou left the Mu family of Feiyuehu long ago, and now there is no enemy-our position."

   "Zheng Daoyou went outside to find out when Lu would never die with others."

   "Fellow Daoist Lu is high-spirited, I've heard about it."

   Zheng Centipede praised loudly.

  He secretly slandered: Zheng Feng and his elder brother were killed by someone on the way.

  The ugly woman Zheng Feng had only one life-and-death enemy in those years, and that was Lu Changan.

  Placed decades ago, I can only think of one or two, but cannot confirm.

  However, based on Lu Changan's current achievements, it can be seen that when he was young, he hid deeply, and he always took revenge.

   Centipede Zheng came to the door to apologize, this is one of the reasons.

  The Zheng family moved to Tiexing Villa, the foundation is not stable, and the clan protection formation has not been completed, so I don't want to offend a foundation-building casual cultivator with good strength and connections.

  After Lu Changan established his foundation, he did not have any foreign record.

  But as a Tier 2 talisman master, with a Tier 2 spirit beast, he is by no means an ordinary person.

  Back then, this person was hiding so deeply.

  Who can estimate how strong the real strength is now?

   Fierce as Zheng Centipede, for the family that has just established itself, he can only come to apologize, spend money and sell disasters, and resolve grievances.

  …

   After chatting for half an hour, Zheng Centipede said goodbye.

  Lu Changan personally sent them off.

  Before, when Zheng Centipede came to visit, he deliberately neglected and asked his concubine to receive him.

  In fact, he was secretly observing the expression of this person to see if there was any resentment or dissatisfaction.

  Go to the entrance of Dongfu.

   Zheng Centipede thought of something and asked:

   "By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu, that fellow Daoist Chen Sheng said: You are in a relationship with him. Is this true?"

   Obeisance relationship?

  Lu Changan's face twitched slightly, angry and funny:

   "There is no such thing, this person is hated by everyone in Wuqi Mountain."

   After a little thought, Zheng Centipede probably had other intentions when he asked this question.

   "Why, Chen Sheng offended Zheng Daoyou?"

   "Not that serious."

   Zheng Centipede said with a smile.

   "Because my Zheng family's current residence, 'Tiexing Villa', is the former family land of the Chen family. Around the villa, there are some industries left over from history, which are in dispute with Fellow Daoist Chen Sheng."

  Lu Changan immediately understood: Chen Sheng saw that the Zheng family had just arrived and their foundation was not stable, so he wanted to find a reason to knock on the bamboo pole.

  Zheng Centipede didn't have enough connections nearby, so he had scruples about Chen Sheng, so he didn't tear his face.

   "Zheng Daoyou, if this person is making trouble for no reason, there is no need to sell me and Shi Xianzi's thin noodles."

  Lu Changan responded.

   "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for your guidance."

   Zheng Centipede left with his hands in his hands, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

   Lu Changan watched this person's back, thinking in his heart.

   "I still have to observe."

  Just now, Zheng Centipede apologized and admitted his mistake, and avoided disaster with a very sincere attitude.

  Lu Changan is not the extreme type who would rather kill a thousand people by mistake.

  For the time being, it can be regarded as temporarily resolving grievances.

   If after several decades, Zheng Centipede has no hostile or abnormal behavior, it will be considered as really over.

  …

  The day after Zheng Centipede left.

  Fairy Shi from Xiaopan Peak descended gracefully.

   "Fellow Daoist Lu, I would like to ask you a few questions."

   "There is no need to go to the cave."

  Shi Manrong wore a plain skirt, smiled reservedly, and raised her hand gracefully, setting up a barrier of sound insulation.

   "What's wrong with Master Fairy?"

  Lu Changan remained calm.

  Shi Manrong has lost part of her memory, and it has been a year.

  I don't know what to recall, or what information to infer.

   "Before I fell into a coma, did I mention a certain cave or ruins to Fellow Daoist Lu?"

   "No." Lu Changan said calmly.

  Shi Manrong before amnesia was willing to cooperate with him to explore the ancient ruins, but not now.

  Furthermore, he did not know the exact location of the ancient ruins.

  Shi Manrong frowned, for the ancient ruins, only the information about the scales and claws remained in her mind.

   "Are we really ordinary friends?"

"yes."

   "Then why, the suicide note left by my concubine before she passed out, stated that part of the inheritance should be donated to Fellow Daoist Lu."

  Shi Manrong's eyes were as calm as water, staring at Lu Changan's facial expression.

  Lu Changan was taken aback, showing surprise.
