What a lucky world!

Chapter 99 Elders who give pocket money are good elders!

Moon stars are rare.

Lu Tianlu closed the wooden box again and said, "This luck money is the result of the condensation of luck."

"The leader of a faction can control the luck of his own faction to gather this luck money."

"There are many uses for luck money."

"The first thing is to support the practice."

"Using luck money while practicing will speed up your practice."

"More importantly, the foundation of martial arts practice is talent, the innate martial luck."

"If one's innate martial luck is insufficient, then cultivation will be difficult to achieve. If one tries to force it, they will only suffer the consequences."

"And the luck money can make up for some of it."

"For example, I want to reach the Yangye realm, but my innate talent is limited, and I can't protect the empty acupoints to withstand the infusion of internal energy from all the acupoints. At this time, refining Qiyun money can replenish Qiyun and assist the innate martial luck in protecting the acupoints."

"This is how a person relies on power and luck to reach heights that are beyond their destiny."

"Even if one's personal martial luck is sufficient, it can serve as a safety net."

"For example, our village currently has yellow luck, which corresponds to the Yangye realm. Look at this luck coin, it has a yellow circle on it, so it's called a one-line coin."

"The quality of a one-line coin can support the Yangye realm, but the specific number of one-line coins needed depends on one's talent."

Hearing this, Zhang Mu immediately remembered what Lin Jinglong had said before, that no matter how bad his fate was, he could still force his way into a Yangye realm.

I think it depends on this luck money.

Really spend money!
"However, this method also has a drawback." Lu Tianlu continued, "The luck in the luck coins is, after all, an external object, so it will always dissipate. Therefore, those who rely on luck coins to break through must continue to consume luck coins if they want to maintain their breakthrough."

"So many forces use luck money as a salary for their masters."

Zhang Mu understood after hearing this.

Sure enough, there are working dogs at every level.

"Besides that, luck money has a wide range of uses in other places."

"For example, if it's incorporated into forging, it can be used to create a treasure of luck. It's also an important ingredient for some elixirs."

"Finally, it can also be used for trading. Among all the major forces, luck money has always been an important resource, far superior to gold and silver."

Zhang Mu thought for a moment and said, "Luck money is the evolution of the power's luck. Doesn't that mean it will consume the power's luck?"

Lu Tianlu nodded: "That's right."

"My master once said that gathering a reasonable amount of luck money can help improve the strength of the village and drive further improvement of luck."

"But if you concentrate too much luck money, it will damage the foundation of the village's luck and bring disaster."

"A large part of the reason for the decline of the Great Fortune Dynasty was the unlimited accumulation of Luck Money, which led to the decline of national fortune and enriched a few aristocratic families."

"In short, the rules for gathering Luck Money are related to the survival of the village. Mr. Wei has always been in charge of our village."

Zhang Mu nodded. Now that he had come to this point, he couldn't help but ask a question -

"Tianlu, what are the rules for our village's luck money?"

Subtext: When will I have luck money?

Lu Tianlu quickly said, "According to the current rules, those in the Shanzhai Ningye Realm receive three one-line coins per month. Those in the Shanzhai who reach the ninth level of Tongmai and decide to strive for the Yangye Realm receive one one-line coin every three months. If they do not strive for the goal or fail to strive for the goal within five years, they will be disqualified from receiving the Qiyun Money."

Zhang Mu asked curiously, "How many people in our village are planning to reach the Yangye realm?"

Lu Tianlu thought for a moment and said, "Including me, there are six people right now."

Zhang Mu roughly calculated in his mind that for this item alone, the mountain stronghold’s annual expenditure of luck money was 168 coins.

Taking into account other uses, I don’t know how much luck money the village actually accumulates in a year, but I think it won’t be too much.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he should shamelessly ask his father for some gold coins, but after hearing Lu Tianlu say that he could get luck money when he reached the ninth level, Zhang Mu decided to wait.

He is already at the seventh level anyway, and now with the blessing of the mountain luck, his cultivation speed is faster than before, so it won't take too long for him to reach the ninth level.

After figuring out the whole story of the luck money, Zhang Mu stood up and said goodbye.

All in all, this time was very rewarding.

At least I know what the Tianji Ranking requires.

Just as Zhang Mu was about to leave, Lu Tianlu called out to him, "Young Master!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Mu stopped and turned around, smiling, "Anything else?"

Lu Tianlu looked a little conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Young Master, I want to apologize to you for what happened to my master earlier."

As he spoke, Lu Tianlu bowed to Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu reacted for a moment, then remembered that Lu Tianlu was referring to the day when he used the Cold Dragon to kill Spring and was mistaken for a spy by Lu Tianlu's master, Lu Xuanxiu, the second in command of the mountain stronghold, and then attacked him.

"Master just... hates the imperial court very much." Lu Tianlu explained.

Zhang Mu stepped forward and helped Lu Tianlu up, saying with a smile, "You're worrying too much. Dad has already explained the misunderstanding to me. I'm the younger generation, so why would I still take it to heart?"

Hearing this, Lu Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. I was still worried..."

"Are you worried that there might be problems between me and your master?"

Zhang Mu patted Lu Tianlu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with elders."

Listening to Zhang Mu's humorous words, Lu Tianlu also smiled and nodded: "My master is in charge of the village rules. He is a bit serious and old-fashioned, but he is actually a very good person."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Zhang Mu waved his hand, "I'll go back first."

"I have to quickly cultivate to the ninth level and receive the luck money."

Hearing this, Lu Tianlu hesitated for a moment and said, "Or... Young Master, can you take these three Luck Coins of mine and use them first?"

Zhang Mu was indeed tempted, but he waved his hand: "Forget it, you need it for your cultivation, and it will be even more necessary when you break through. I'm not in a hurry!"

After saying this, Zhang Mu was afraid that Lu Tianlu would be polite to him again and would use the three luck coins to test him as the young leader. He was afraid that he could not withstand it, so he did not stay any longer, waved his hand, and left Lu Tianlu's residence directly.

……

Zhang Mu was walking towards his residence when he suddenly saw a tall figure standing outside the gate of his yard from afar.

The man was facing the courtyard, and Zhang Mu could only see his back. He couldn't recognize him for a moment. However, in the mountain stronghold, Zhang Mu was not afraid of any danger and walked forward.

The man also heard Zhang Mu's footsteps and turned around.

When he saw the other person, Zhang Mu was stunned.

People really can't stand being talked about. I was just talking about this person with Lu Tianlu, and now he is standing in front of my house.

"Uncle Lu!" Zhang Mu took two steps forward and bowed.

The person who came was Lu Tianlu's master, the second in command of the stronghold, and the person in charge of the stronghold's Dharma Hall, Lu Xuanxiu.

Lu Xuanxiu is the apprentice of the old leader of the mountain stronghold, and the old leader of the mountain stronghold is Lin Jinglong's father. Lin Jinglong has always treated Lu Xuanxiu as his senior brother, so it is only right for Zhang Mu to call him uncle.

"I'm back..." Lu Xuanxiu said lightly, his voice was flat and a little oppressive.

"Well, I just chatted with Brother Lu for a while." Zhang Mu answered meticulously.

The scene fell into silence.

After a while, Lu Xuanxiu spoke again: "I just came back from the foot of the mountain and heard about your story."

"Hmm..." Zhang Mu responded.

Then, the scene fell silent again.

After seven or eight breaths, Lu Xuanxiu spoke for the third time: "Junior Brother Lin has already explained the whole story to me last time. I didn't understand it clearly. I came to apologize to you."

"No, no!" Zhang Mu said hurriedly, "It's just a misunderstanding. It's not worth it for Master to make a personal trip."

silence……

Just as Zhang Mu was tapping his toes, he heard Lu Xuanxiu's voice again: "Since you have taken Junior Brother Lin as your adoptive father, you are now my junior. I came back in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. Take this!"

Seeing Lu Xuanxiu handing him a small bag, Zhang Mu was about to say a few nice words when he suddenly had an idea.

The scroll in my mind reacted!
Zhang Mu immediately took the small bag and opened it to see——

Luck money!
A bag of luck money!

Zhang Mu quickly clasped his fists and bowed deeply: "I dare not refuse the gift given by the elder!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

There was sincerity in his voice.
