I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.
Chapter 275 "Okay, okay, okay."
Chapter 275 "Okay, okay, okay."
"Dad Dragon?"
The dragon clan leader of the vast continent was a little slow to react to what the word meant. Just as he was about to ask a question, a hearty laugh from the sky broke the rhythm of everyone's conversation.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the laughter.
I saw an old man in a white robe with gold thread coming from the end of the sky, followed by a girl who looked like a lady from a wealthy family. The voice arrived before the man landed.
"I have long heard that Daoist Chen is handsome and has a natural physique. Today I see the result."
The sound stopped again.
"."
The old man who had just landed and was wearing a white robe with gold thread looked at the scene in front of him, the dark robes of the people and the several white wreaths around them. The smile on his face suddenly froze. After a long pause, he spoke hoarsely.
"May I ask which elder passed away?"
He originally came to give gifts, but it was obvious that he came at a wrong time. He just took a glance from a distance with his spiritual sense and found that a banquet was being held. He thought it was a celebration banquet.
The gift that was held in the air by spiritual energy was wrapped in red paper. It was prepared to look festive, but it looked a bit out of place at this moment.
"No problem."
Chen Yu, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked up at the two people and the gifts beside him, and raised his eyelids slightly: "Are you here to give gifts?"
"Uh-huh."
"How much do you give?"
"500 mid-grade spirit stones."
"Come here, give me a seat."
Chen Lu waved his hand readily. He didn't know who this person was, nor did he know where these two people came from, but it didn't matter. Anyone who could come with so many spirit stones as gifts must be his best friends.
Just a little confused.
Is Xuantianzhou so poor? Of all the forces in Xuantianzhou, the richest one, Dao Zong, only collected less than one million spirit stones at that time. How come the forces in other continents outside Xuantianzhou were so generous?
First, a local dragon clan spent 300 million spirit stones, and he was feeling very happy. Then, this grandfather and grandson duo of unknown origin sent another 500 million spirit stones. Why does it seem that his luck has been good since he came out of the Chaotian Sect secret realm in that small world?
Before entering, he was extremely poor and had no spirit stones at all. He was so poor that he couldn't even practice cultivation.
But after taking out more than 1000 million spirit stones from there, he no longer lacked spirit stones.
He still had more than 700 million spirit stones that he hadn't spent, and with the gifts from these two people, he now had a total of 1500 million spirit stones.
well.
As he thought about it, Chen Yu's smile grew stronger. He looked at the Dragon Clan leader beside him and said gently, "Come, please move aside and let this grandson sit here."
"hold head high?"
The Dragon Clan leader was slightly stunned. Is this so realistic? Whoever gives more spirit stones will sit in the vice-chairman's seat. He tilted his head and looked at the grandfather and grandson walking towards his position. He gritted his teeth and wanted to add more spirit stones, but the Dragon Clan really couldn't afford so much.
It really has reached the top.
In fact, he had prepared 20 spirit stones at the beginning, which was a sufficient number. At least in the entire Xuantian Province, no force had come to visit and gave 20 spirit stones. He had never seen it before. This amount of spirit stones was enough to show his respect for Chen Lu.
Later, as Chen Lu's name was mentioned again and again in the Heavenly Dao Edict, his strength and status increased again and again, and the gifts he sent also became more and more generous. 300 million spirit stones were already his upper limit, and also the upper limit of the dragon clan. If he gave one more, he would have to deduct a little from other places.
Although he was reluctant, he still stood up and made room for the grandfather and grandson.
"Fellow Daoist Chen."
Perhaps it was because he was given the confidence by paying the money, the old man in the white robe with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs, his eyes full of smiles, seemingly inadvertently revealing his Mahayana cultivation, and looked at Chen Lu with great respect.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am from the Bai family of the third-grade continent, the Qitian Continent. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Chen has never heard of the Bai family. The Bai family is one of the top forces in the Qitian Continent, and..."
"I have heard of it and have seen your master."
Chen Yu casually glanced at the old man and said with a smile: "So you are from the Bai family. It's embarrassing to come here and bring gifts. Your master helped me a lot last time. I was thinking of finding a chance to thank him in the future. I didn't expect you to bring gifts first."
"But it seems like your master hasn't communicated with you much recently."
He could fully understand the hint given by the old man's behavior. He first revealed his Mahayana cultivation and told everyone that he had the ability to dominate the entire dinner today. But despite his ability, he was still quite respectful to you, Chen Yu, who only had the fusion cultivation. This is called giving you both face and substance.
There was a tone of respect in his words, as well as a hint of reserve.
It's not that he understands people so well and can see so much at a glance, but there are very few people who are so reserved in front of him. Even the head of the Bai family has to tremble in front of him. This person from the Bai family who is in the early stage of Mahayana has only a short lifespan and is about to die, so it is obviously unreasonable for him to be so reserved.
The only answer is that the head of the Bai family did not tell the old man what happened recently.
"Forehead"
The old man in white robe hesitated for a moment. He understood what Chen Lu meant. What Chen Lu meant was that he put himself in the same position as the head of the Bai family, or even a little higher. He looked upon the head of the Bai family as a junior. But wasn't this a bit too much of an overestimation of himself?
He admitted that Chen Lu had good strength and potential, but so far, he could definitely not compare with the powerful head of a top force in a third-grade continent!
That's a bit too much.
But he did not expose or refute, he just smiled and let the matter go: "This is not a big deal, the master of the family usually loves to help others, although I don't know what I have done to help you, but don't worry too much, the master of the family will definitely not care about this little thing."
"hehe."
Chen Lu picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth, smiled and said nothing.
"correct."
The old man in white robe suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "But if you want to repay the favor, there is indeed an item that the Bai family is in short supply of recently. It is called "Yin Emperor's Luck" and is composed of "Yin Soul's Luck". You may not have heard of the name. It is a group of heaven-sent treasures produced in the underworld. If you have any information in this regard, you can contact me. It can be regarded as a return of the favor of the family head for helping you last time."
"."
Chen Yu's expression did not change at all, he just chuckled and said, "No, if I find out, I will contact the Bai family as soon as possible."
The old man in white robe did not say anything else and continued the conversation.
The grandfather and grandson of the Bai family chatted for a few words quickly and then left. After all, they came at the wrong time as it was someone's funeral. It would not be appropriate to stay too long at this time. It would be more appropriate to choose a good day to visit another time.
just
The old man in white robe looked at the eldest lady of the Bai family with some confusion and sighed, "Miss, you are obviously of higher status than me, and you should be the one in charge. Why do you always stay behind me?"
"What are you talking about?"
The eldest daughter of the Bai family snorted coldly: "It was fine to say that before, you could say that you were training me for my future, but now I don't have many years left to live, it's not appropriate for you to say these things at this time."
"Is it okay if I don't want to be in charge? That would be too tiring. I just like to sit by and listen to you talk. Is that okay?"
"Go, go, go."
The old man in white robe sighed helplessly: "Okay, the gift has been delivered, let's report to the head of the family."
"call"
After Ling Ge's funeral banquet, the head of the Bai family returned to Qitian Continent, took a deep breath, sat in the family ancestral hall, drank a large cup of herbal tea, wiped the corners of his mouth, and leaned back in the chair comfortably.
"What's the matter, sir?"
The second wife walked up to the master, rubbed his shoulders and asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to attend someone else's funeral? Why do you look like you have escaped death?"
"Don't mention it."
The Patriarch of the Bai Family sighed and waved his hand, saying, "I was so confused before I left that I didn't think too much and almost couldn't come back."
Then he explained the whole process.
His first wife was a fairy. After giving birth to a boy and a girl, she died of illness. This lady was his second wife. There were only these two women in his life, and he slept with only these two women.
It's not that he is so clean.
He just doesn't like to sleep with a woman he has no feelings for. People who cultivate immortals rarely develop feelings for women, mainly because they can't develop feelings. If a woman's cultivation is not as good as his, when you come out of retreat, she will be old and dead, or old and ugly. If the cultivation is similar to his, the two of them will retreat every day and rarely see each other, so how can there be any feelings? What's more, there are very few female cultivators with high cultivation, and there is not much room for choice in terms of appearance and figure. In addition, female cultivators with high cultivation often have bad tempers.
In this situation, the families of most people with high cultivation are basically for the purpose of continuing the family line, and there is no emotional connection at all.
There are very few people like him who have a serious relationship with his wife, and even fewer who are willing to keep these family secrets from their wives.
"master."
The second wife, with a worried look on her face, whispered, "Fortunately you are smart, otherwise you might not be able to come back. But I only knew that the Bai family's intelligence network was powerful, but I didn't know that the Bai family had collected so much intelligence from other continents."
The Patriarch of the Bai Family shook his head with emotion: "In fact, I have a goal that I haven't told anyone, which is to lead the Bai Family all the way to the Ninth Rank Continent. Naturally, I need to collect a lot of information. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."
"My philosophy has always been that any information in this world has great value. It just depends on when to use it."
"And I can't say I've completely gotten away with it. What I did was basically the same as telling Pavilion Master Ling that I was the one who leaked the information, but they just haven't dealt with me yet."
"But it's not a big problem. As long as I'm here, the sky won't fall."
Although the woman didn't quite understand the man's intrigues, she could still tell from his words that he was amazing. She looked at her man with admiration in her eyes, "Master, you are amazing."
"Humph."
The head of the Bai family raised his lips and said proudly, "Are you kidding? I have led the Bai family to become the strongest force in the Qitian Continent step by step. If I didn't have this little trick, how could I survive?"
at this time--
A servant beside him suddenly strode over, handed a jade slip to him, and then quickly retreated.
"."
After scanning with his spiritual sense and obtaining all the information, the eyes of the Bai family patriarch gradually narrowed. His intelligence network covered several continents, and the Bai family actually made their fortune from this.
The prices of different items in different continents are completely different.
Ordinary people do not have the ability to travel across continents. Even some top forces do not have this ability. His Bai family has this ability. They rely on shuttling back and forth between continents to resell goods. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the Bai family is now rich enough to rival a country, but their financial resources are definitely not weak, otherwise he would not have so many spirit stones to give gifts to these people over the years.
This jade slip was handed to him by one of his servants.
There was only one piece of news recorded in the jade slip.
"Chen Lu went to the underworld when he was in Xuantian Continent."
An extremely simple piece of information.
Ordinary people don't know about the underworld, and ordinary people have no chance to go there. But in the first-grade continent, as long as there is a certain opportunity, you can enter it. After all, the underworld in the lower-grade continent will collapse from time to time. It would be fine if an ordinary person had entered, but who is Chen Lu?
Since Chen Lu went to the underworld, he must have triggered the decree of heaven and thus obtained the fate of a ghost.
This is his trust in Chen Lu. He has met Chen Lu in person and has the utmost recognition of Chen Lu's strength and ability. If this is the case.
There was a gleam of light in the eyes of the head of the Bai family.
He might be able to collect the first ray of Yinhun's luck, but... although he knew that Chen Yu might have the Yinhun's luck, how to trade it was still a problem.
But I have to say——
This was already great news. It was the biggest progress he had made in the past few years, and it was also the closest ray of luck to him that he felt was.
Before he could think about it any longer.
The sound transmission note in his arms suddenly rang. That sound transmission note belonged to his daughter's bodyguard.
After a few breaths.
The head of the Bai family suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and he suddenly thought of a good idea. Through the detailed report of his old friend, he could see that because he did not tell the old friend about what happened in the Qitian Continent in time, his old friend was not very respectful to Chen Lu.
Instead, it maintains a sense of equality.
This is a small problem.
But he could definitely take advantage of this and use it as an excuse to personally go to Chen Lu's house to ask for forgiveness, and give him a more valuable gift, maybe to prepare for the next transaction.
As far as he knew, the luck of ghosts was completely useless in the world of the living, but no matter how useless something was, it was still someone else's thing and could still be used after death. It was useless during life, but became useful after death.
This is a good excuse.
Otherwise, he would not have any good excuse to suddenly come and ask for a meeting. Otherwise, why are there so many festivals in the mortal world? If there were no festivals, what excuse would he find to suddenly come and ask for a meeting? It would be very abrupt.
"What. What's wrong?"
The woman's voice was filled with panic: "Could something have happened to Qiu'er?"
"No, she's still alive." The Patriarch of the Bai family shook his head and said, "Wait for me at home. I'm going out to do something. There has been some progress with Qiu'er's situation. Maybe I can get the first ray of Yinhun luck. I'll go and give it a try."
Then he didn't stop at all.
His love for his daughter left him no time to dodge and he immediately stood up and walked out of the family ancestral hall.
The second-grade continent, the vast continent.
Above the wild mountains and wilderness of Xuantian Prefecture, the Patriarch of the Bai family sensed the breath of the sound transmission talisman and landed next to his daughter. The first scene that came into his sight was his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time, and Bai Yisheng, whose ears were red from obviously drinking too much.
Bai Yisheng was the protector he personally selected for his daughter.
"master."
"Yes." The head of the Bai family narrowed his eyes slightly: "You have almost reported everything just now. Tell me again about when you asked Chen Yu about the fate of a ghost. What was his reaction?"
"Uh, there was no reaction. He just nodded and said he would tell me if he had any news."
The head of the Bai family shook his head and said nothing.
He could actually understand his old friend, because after years of protecting his daughter, he had built up a relationship with her, like a grandfather and grandson. This was very common among protectors. In the beginning, all protectors were there to protect their young masters out of duty, but in the end, they would gradually develop feelings for their young masters and be willing to protect them.
After all, any protection of the way basically lasts hundreds or thousands of years.
For such a long period of time, responsibility alone cannot completely bind a person; emotions are still needed.
It's just that he cared a little too much about Qiu'er, which caused him to panic. The first time he met her, he asked her if she had any ghost luck. If it was someone he didn't know, he would have changed the subject.
But there is a high probability that Chen Lu really has it in his hands. Talking about this right after they meet will indeed give people the feeling that he is asking for repayment for a favor.
But it's not a big problem.
He only has a reason to come if there is a problem.
"Come back again."
The Patriarch of the Bai Family pondered for a while and then made a decision: "I just received news that Chen Yu had been to the underworld when he was in Xuantian Continent. This time he went there mainly to discuss cooperation. One is to exchange the fate of the underworld soul, and the other is..."
He didn't say the rest.
He wanted to find a new big brother. It was obvious that he couldn't hold on to Ling Ge anymore, so it depended on whether he could hold on to Chen Lu.
The Bai family has no shortage of spirit stones, really no shortage of them.
How could a huge second-hand dealer be short of spirit stones?
"Can freely travel through the lower continents", this effect can bring huge benefits, but what is lacking is how to make the most of these spirit stones. After all, no matter how many spirit stones there are, they cannot directly help him improve his cultivation to the Immortal Emperor.
These are two completely different things, not at all the same.
This is also the reason why he gave so many gifts. He didn't need everyone to remember him and help him. As long as one-third of people were grateful to him, he would make a profit.
However, many spirit stones were tied up in the goods. A large amount of spirit stones were needed to keep the business going. In addition, a lot of spirit stones were spent on Qiu'er's affairs these days, resulting in not that many spirit stones available in the family. Otherwise, they would not have prepared only 500 million.
