A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.
Chapter 44 Is this bed board sturdy?
This outfit might fool others, but it won't fool the people present. Which one of them isn't a charming playboy who flits through a sea of women without ever getting attached?
Looking at the self-deceiving Yaoyue, Lu Ming's expression was a bit strange. He wondered if the legendary Yaoyue Lianxing was really that beautiful: "Take people to Mount Hua. I will be in Mount Hua recently. It would be best to bring some precious medicinal herbs and silver as a reward, not gold."
Yaoyue was slightly annoyed upon hearing this. She was always the one being asked to do things, never the other way around. She took a step forward, activated her Mingyu Gong, and a surge of energy enveloped the area.
"Come with me now!"
Li Xunhuan, who appeared to have a throwing knife in his hand at some point, said, "Your tone is rather arrogant. This is not the attitude one should have when seeking medical treatment."
Having recovered from his injuries and improved his skills, he was confident he could fight anyone except the old Taoist priest on Mount Wudang.
Lu Xiaofeng was unconvinced. Although he didn't know who the other person was, her identity as a woman couldn't be hidden: "That's right. We're not polite to Lu Ming because we're friends. Who are you? Don't think we can't tell just because you're dressed as a man."
With a soft clatter, a folding fan swayed gently, and Shangguan Haitang walked in slowly, looking at Yaoyue with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Tong represents the Yihua Palace. If he acts so recklessly, I'm afraid even the Grand Palace Master Yaoyue wouldn't agree. The Dragon Guard Manor will also never sit idly by while its great hero is being coerced. If you are seeking medical treatment, it would be best to do as Young Hero Lu suggested."
Wherever Shangguan Haitang is, there will inevitably be Wan Sanqian, her devoted admirer. Sure enough, that round face also appeared.
"My name is Wan Sanqian. Although I am just a merchant, I have made many acquaintances with martial arts masters. Please be cautious."
Shangguan Haitang frowned slightly and subtly moved aside. She disliked sycophants; they were incredibly annoying, but she couldn't lash out because of her godfather.
Enraged, Yaoyue sneered repeatedly, "Fine, very well, Lu Ming of the Huashan Sect, is it? We'll see."
She was domineering, but she wouldn't risk being surrounded by so many skilled fighters to take Lu Ming away. Since the other party was also quite strong, she could just abduct him on the way.
With a flash, the person disappeared.
Shangguan Haitang then put on a smile, closed her folding fan, and cupped her hands, saying, "Young Master Lu is a paragon of chivalry. The Dragon Guard Manor is extremely grateful for your help in capturing the Plum Blossom Bandit. If you ever need our help in the future, please feel free to contact us, and we will certainly repay you."
Lu Ming seemed somewhat disheartened and had no intention of joining in: "Instead of that, isn't there a reward for capturing a wanted criminal? Let's talk about something more practical."
vulgar! How vulgar!
Shangguan Haitang's lips twitched, but she still took out three silver notes from her sleeve and handed them over: "This is three thousand taels of silver, which can be exchanged at Datong Bank. I've talked enough today. The journey of the martial world is long, and I hope we meet again someday. Farewell."
Coincidentally, not long after, the Eastern Depot also sent someone with three thousand taels of silver as a reward. Recruiting Lu Ming was secondary; the important thing was to prevent the Dragon Guard Manor from succeeding.
Li Xunhuan hesitated for a moment, then said with a firm gaze, "Lu Ming, neither the Dragon Guard Manor nor the Eastern Depot are easy to deal with. It's a quagmire, and one wrong move could mean certain death."
As someone who had worked in officialdom, he understood the implications. The Dragon Guard Manor had a good reputation, but that Imperial Uncle, the Divine Marquis, was acting somewhat wickedly.
The Eastern Depot was the emperor's henchman, so it's hard to say that what they did wasn't the emperor's intention. When the imperial family is fighting, mortals shouldn't get involved, or even glance at it.
"Thank you, but I didn't intend to get involved. I'll go back and practice my martial arts diligently so I can give you a nephew soon. Get your celebratory money ready."
Lu Ming knew perfectly well who that Iron-Blooded Marquis was: a Cao Cao imitator, a usurper who had committed countless evil deeds, and anyone who followed him would die without even knowing how.
Now that we have a home, we can focus on developing it and saving up some silver to upgrade our facilities. Why bother going out and causing trouble? Of course, if it's something like the Gaochang Treasure, Liancheng Treasure, or the Chuangwang Treasure, that's something to consider.
Lin Shiyin spent several days arranging the manor, entrusting it to familiar people for care. Besides the manor, there were also farmland and shops. Li Xunhuan was truly a good brother, having given away almost all of his ancestral property; the more good brothers like him, the better.
If anyone says Li Xunhuan isn't a good brother, Lu Ming will be the first to show them the power of the Huashan Sword Technique!
Lu Ming wasn't idle either; he went out to earn money. It's worth mentioning that Jiang Biehe, the great hero from Jiangnan, actually came to him asking for help in treating his son Jiang Yulang, and offered him 30,000 taels of silver, two century-old He Shou Wu plants, and a Seven Star Flower plant that was still being cultivated.
The Seven Star Flower itself is an ingredient for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It improves aptitude by cleansing the marrow and transforming the body through the I Ching. It is a rare and precious elixir in the world, and the formula for it has been lost.
Coincidentally, the recipe for this pill is recorded in the study of the homestead. In addition, there are beauty pills and other pills that are highly sought after by female warriors. It is not an exaggeration to say that one pill can be exchanged for a royal mansion.
It's very valuable to those in the know, but worthless to those who don't. Jiang Biehe only took it out out of desperation. This is because Lu Ming likes medicinal herbs, and only secondarily considers the money.
It is very difficult to recover from disfigurement. It is necessary to disfigure again and then use the Ice Skin Jade Bone Ointment and internal healing techniques to accelerate recovery.
It's rare for someone to offer a practice opportunity. Even if the illness can't be cured, they can still blame it on Jiang Biehe, saying that they had already been treated by other doctors and the illness had worsened.
The manor was handed over to a specialist for management, and the monthly income would be deposited into Datong Money Shop for Lin Shiyin's convenience.
"Shion, close your eyes, I'm going to take you somewhere."
Lin Shiyin obediently closed her eyes, and after a dizzying moment, she opened them again. Before her was an exquisite courtyard with blue brick flooring, a vast lake in the distance, and snow-capped mountains behind it.
"Husband, where is this? Will we be living here from now on?"
Lu Ming nodded, his expression very serious: "This is my family's heirloom land. No one will disturb us. You like a quiet life, so this was specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Lin Shiyin suddenly burst into tears, her beautiful face beaming with a happy smile as she nodded repeatedly. She was indifferent to worldly affairs, preferring to quietly read, play the zither, and play chess. If she had children, she would stay at home to be a good wife and mother, detached from worldly matters.
"I like it, it's just a bit crowded. When my husband brings more of his sisters back, it'll be lively here. It's a great place. When we have children, we can take them sightseeing. I've heard that children in the countryside play like this, and it makes them healthier!"
Want a child?
Lu Ming didn't object. The manor could still add more houses, and there would be more than enough room even if Ding Minjun, Zhou Zhiruo, and Yue Lingshan moved in.
"I'll bring Chun Tao and the others in later, and buy some daily necessities, so we won't have to worry about anything here."
Lin Shiyin nestled tenderly in her husband's arms and said softly, "Actually, we can also grow some fruits and vegetables ourselves. In the past, our family was a family that valued both farming and scholarship. We were taught to farm from a young age. If we didn't know how to farm, we would learn until we did. Husband, you don't need to worry about me. This place is very nice. You can just come back and visit me often."
Such a miraculous event would surely have prompted others to investigate further, but Lin Shiyin did not pursue it. She was content with her lot and could ignore everything else as long as she could be with her husband.
Just as Lu Ming was feeling grateful for marrying such a good wife, Lin Shiyin gave him another pleasant surprise: "Husband, could you take me inside to test if the bed is sturdy enough?"
