Lu Changan and Dewey were just acquaintances from the neighborhood.

If the other party invites you to a wedding banquet, it is nothing more than a means to make money if you don't win over the other party.

Ordinary monks, especially casual cultivators, spend their entire lives pursuing elixirs.

Practice, break ranks, heal wounds, drive away toxins, restore beauty, extend life...the list goes on.

One day I may find an alchemist.

Therefore, when neighbors receive an invitation, they will express their gratitude to some extent.

Lu Changan doesn't have much demand for ordinary elixirs.

However, it is important to get the big-level level-breaking elixirs, such as the foundation-building elixirs.

Evergreen Kung Fu has gone through a long period of time, bringing with it a deep heritage and foundation, pure magic power, and long energy.

He speculated that breaking through the great realm would at least provide some bonuses.

Coupled with past life experience, there may be a good chance of promotion without using the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But who doesn’t want to be more sure of breaking through the realm?

If you attempt to hit a big realm and fail, your vitality will be severely damaged and your foundation will be damaged to some extent.

Lu Changan has no worries about his life expectancy, so he naturally wants to maximize his chances of winning.

…

Three days later.

Dewey's "Danxin Residence" was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there was an endless stream of monks coming and going to congratulate him with gifts.

"Zhang Hong, one pound of thirty-year-old ice and snow fruit."

"Jushi Chen, twenty spiritual stones."

At the entrance of the mansion, there is a steward who counts the gifts, and monks sing songs.

Lu Changan stepped forward and handed over the gift list and gift box.

"Master Lu! Two first-order high-grade talismans! Six first-order middle-grade talismans."

The shouts were a little louder.

Lu Changan's congratulatory gifts were six middle-grade talismans and two high-grade talismans, all of ordinary quality.

It is worth seventy or eighty spirit stones, which is equivalent to a low-grade magic weapon. This gift is of great value.

For Lu Changan's fu skills, the cost is less than one-third.

A high-grade talisman is quite an ordinary spell strike in the late stage of Qi refining, and its power is inferior to the mid-grade magic weapon activated in the late stage of Qi refining.

The advantage of Talisman is that it only requires a small amount of mana to activate.

The disadvantage is that it is a one-time consumable, which is not as powerful as the magical weapons and secret techniques of monks of the same level, and its accuracy is also inferior.

After the seventh level of Qi refining, Lu Changan was ready to refine the second-level talisman. Due to his strong spiritual consciousness, he had a lot of confidence in refining it.

It's just that the materials for second-level talismans are too scarce!

Second-level talisman pens, second-level spiritual ink, and second-level talisman paper. How easy is it to get these together?

Don’t collect too blatantly.

At present, Lu Changan has only obtained a few pieces of second-level talisman paper of poor quality, and the spiritual ink and talisman pens used are all first-level.

I tried to make it, but it turned out to be two inferior second-level talismans.

In terms of power, it is almost the same as a high-quality golden sword talisman.

The high-quality golden knife talisman, the power has just entered the threshold of foundation building.

Lu Changan is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice. He can only wait for the materials to be gathered later to refine more second-level talismans.

…

"Master Lu Fu, it's time to spend money! Go inside and invite us."

Dewey heard the sound of congratulations and came out enthusiastically.

Invite Lu Changan to take a seat in the main hall and enjoy a small table alone.

The treatment is essentially different from the public banquet in the courtyard.

For example, Taoist Master Guan and his disciples gave gifts worth several spiritual stones and were arranged to have a meal in the courtyard.

"Miss Su, I would like to give you a hundred spiritual stones as a gift and a medium-grade magic weapon."

A higher and more exciting voice came from the door of the mansion.

All the monks looked sideways with surprise on their faces.

The owner of the gift was none other than Su Yuetong.

This gift is equivalent to two to three hundred spirit stones and is the most valuable gift today.

Lu Changan was also surprised.

The congratulatory gift he sent was already of high value. After all, it was just a concubine banquet.

"For this woman to be so generous, I'm afraid the man behind her is seeking help from Master Hua."

Lu Changan thought.

It is very possible that he is planning to build the Foundation Pill just like him!

For other needs, you don’t have to pay this price.

Lu Changan still has some years to go before establishing the foundation. He has enough lifespan and is not in such a hurry.

Judging from Su Yuetong's work, the man behind it may be a little anxious. He has stayed at the ninth level of Qi Refining for many years and wants to knock on Master Hua's door as soon as possible.

"Master Lu Fu."

Su Yuetong was graceful and said hello in a soft voice, sitting on top of Lu Changan.

At the banquet, Su Yuetong was charming, her beautiful eyes were seductive, and she tried to say:

"Master Lu Fu can sit in the main hall, and the gifts must be expensive. I don't know what I want from Master Du Dan."

"Nothing else, I just want to make friends with Master Du Dan."

Lu Changan smiled slightly and answered perfunctorily.

He didn't care why Su Yuetong was suspicious.

Perhaps the other party thought that he moved next door to Dewey because he wanted to build a foundation for the forces behind him.

…

Dewey is a good person.

After a few days of celebration, those with heavier gifts were invited in batches to come to the house as guests.

Dewey naturally knew that most of the monks who gave him heavy gifts were seeking for himself.

If he only accepts gifts and does nothing else, and his reputation is ruined, who will give him benefits in the future?

Moreover, Dewey did not dare to offend easily some of the monks who gave gifts, because they either had backgrounds or were powerful.

Two neighbors, Lu Changan and Su Yuetong, were among the same group of invited monks.

Dewey personally entertained the two of them, which was quite polite.

"Two Taoist friends, one is as gentle as jade, and the other is a stunning beauty. They can be called a talented man and a beautiful woman."

Dewey laughed and praised, his mustache twitching slightly.

"Hey, Master Lu Fu can't stand looking down on me like this."

Su Yuetong's eyes were full of resentment, but I felt pity for him, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"Lu's cultivation is shallow and he is almost fifty. He is not worthy of Miss Su."

Lu Changan said expressionlessly.

If he hadn't known that there was a burly man at the ninth level of Qi Refining who once visited Su Yuetong's house late at night, he might have really thought that this woman was interested in him.

After all, Lu Changan's appearance and temperament were indeed good in this life.

Dewey was just joking to liven up the atmosphere, and had no real intention of bringing the two of them together.

He actually coveted Su Yuetong, but he didn't dare to provoke her.

…

After having enough wine and food.

Dewey invited the two of them to enjoy the flowers in the courtyard.

During this period, they had private conversations with Su Yuetong and Lu Changan respectively.

When Su Yuetong was talking to Dewey, he set up a soundproofing spell, but it could not be concealed from Lu Changan's powerful consciousness.
