Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

Seeing the urgency in Lü Tu's eyes, Gu Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly and pondered for a moment.

"In that case, I'll report this to the sect and ask them to come up with a solution as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the sect will do everything in its power to help you with anything you need."

But to everyone's surprise, Lü Tu suddenly said something.

"Then I want the tenth level."

"?"

"Haha, just kidding, Sister Yunshu, don't be so scared."

"You scared me, kid..."

Gu Yun rolled her eyes in annoyance, looking incredibly charming.

Lu Tu and Gu Yunshu joked and laughed all the way, making the journey anything but boring.

As dusk fell, the two arrived at Yehua City, the main city of Yehua Prefecture.

"Flying is prohibited in Yehua City, let's go down."

The two had just arrived at the city gate.

Then they saw the prefectural clerk, who was holding a feather fan, standing there with a smile, clearly having been waiting for some time.

Gu Yunshu first led Lü Tu in bowing.

"Greetings, Lord Qi"

This is the chief advisor of the prefect's mansion; he holds a very high position.

Qi Dongqiang returned the greeting with a smile.

"Oh my, we've been waiting for you, young friend Lü!"

"If you hadn't come, the governor might have skinned me alive!"

"Please come with me into the manor immediately!"

Looking at Qi Dongqiang's harmless and enthusiastic smile.

For some reason, Lü Tu felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

"Holy crap!"

"Is tonight a trap?"

......

Looking down at the bustling street below, teeming with people and full of life, Lü Tu couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of the main city of Yehua Prefecture, it is indeed prosperous."

Normally, flying is indeed prohibited in Yehua City.

But now that the governor's office is leading the way and accompanying them, who would dare to stop them?

Following Qi Dongqiang, they entered the prefect's mansion and, after wandering around, arrived at a council hall.

"Young friend Lü, the prefect has been waiting for you for quite some time. Please come in."

Gu Yunshu was about to follow them in, but Qi Dongqiang stopped her.

"Elder Gu, please wait. The Prefect has only invited Young Friend Lü."

"You must be tired from your journey. Why don't you go and rest in the side hall, Elder?"

Seeing Gu Yunshu looking over with a worried expression, Lü Tu smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright, the prefect won't harm me, right, Master Qi?"

Qi Dongqiang nodded repeatedly and teased.

"Of course, if anything happens to you, wouldn't the Cloud Sect fight us, the Prefect's Mansion, to the death?"

A hint of worry flickered in Gu Yunshu's eyes.

"Don't forget what I told you: be careful with your words and actions. If you offend the prefect or the sect leader, he won't plead for you."

She felt that Ming Zhenyue probably wouldn't bother harming Lü Tu.

It's highly likely they're trying to win them over.

After all, she was genuinely afraid that this bastard would run off with someone else at the drop of a hat.

Lu Tu gave a sly smile.

"rest assured!"

"Even if I offend Sister Yunshu, I wouldn't dare offend the Prefect."

Watching Lü Tu enter the council hall, Gu Yunshu blushed and cursed under her breath.

"You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth."

She could naturally understand the underlying meaning in those words.

......

As Lü Tu entered the council hall and passed through the screen, he saw Prefect Ming Zhenyue greet him warmly.

"No need for formalities!"

"I was thinking that if you didn't come soon, I would personally go to the Cloud Sect to ask for help."

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Of course!

If he went in person, he might lead troops to surround the Cloud Sect.

Seeing Ming Zhenyue's enthusiasm, Lü Tu felt even more uncertain.

Something's fishy going on; this guy doesn't seem like a good person.

Lü Tu didn't bother with formalities and sat down directly.

"What business does the governor have with me?"

Ming Zhenyue laughed heartily.

Don't overthink it, I just want to get to know you better and make friends with you.

"After all, you are the only genius in my Ye Hua Prefecture who can rival Ye Linxiao. You are destined to soar to the heavens."

"It's perfectly reasonable for me to curry favor with you now so I can have someone to rely on later, right? Hahaha..."

Having lived two lives, Lü Tu had seen all sorts of strange and powerful beings, so his social skills were beyond doubt.

The more you refuse when someone in a superior's position is enthusiastic towards you, the more they will dislike you.

Immediately strike the snake and follow the pole.

"That's reasonable, that's reasonable. To be honest, I felt a great sense of kinship with the governor the moment I saw him, as if I had met my long-lost adoptive parents' older brother."

"Since we are so destined to be together, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

"We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year, sharing both joy and sorrow!"

Ming Zhenyue's laughter stopped abruptly.

"what?"

Goodness, this kid is really not polite.

To dare to call the governor of this prefecture a brother is simply outrageous.

Ming Zhenyue paused for a moment, then laughed.

"It's not that I don't want to become sworn brothers, it's just that my identity is rather sensitive, and I'm afraid it will cause controversy."

They even died on the same day, in the same month, in the same year?

Lü Tu will most likely become a victim of the power struggle for the throne; he still wants to live a few more years.

Lü Tu nodded immediately.

"I understand, I didn't think it through."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ming Zhenyue changed the subject and said with a smile.

"Lu Tu, there is indeed something I wanted to ask you to come here about."

"You know about the Cloud Void Spiritual Vein, right?"

Cloud Void Spiritual Vein?

Seeing Lu Tu's puzzled expression, Ming Zhenyue knew he didn't understand and then explained.

"As we all know, spiritual veins are formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and they can produce a lot of spirit stones."

"Therefore, spiritual veins are a very important resource for any nation or power. Once discovered, they can even lead to fierce competition and bloodshed from all sides."

"After all, the cost of maintaining the operation of a nation is terrifying, and supporting people is a considerable expense."

"A small spiritual vein can produce tens of millions of spirit stones, while a medium-sized spiritual vein can produce hundreds of millions."

"And this Cloud Void Spirit Vein is an extremely rare large-scale spirit vein, capable of producing at least one billion spirit stones, and it's not impossible that it could even produce ten billion."

Tens of billions?

Honestly, Lü Tu is craving it.

While money isn't everything, it can definitely solve 99% of problems.

And he really needs money.

We are desperately short of money!

Because he needs to support the main character.

He has only encountered three main characters so far, but he may be bound to ten or twenty main characters in the future.

But what's the point of raising a child if you don't have money?

It's important to know that it's extremely expensive for a protagonist to grow up; the resources they consume can be tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of times more than those of others.

Moreover, not every protagonist can grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth like Ye Linxiao, who is rich and powerful and doesn't need to worry about resources.

Take Jia Yi and Chu Nan for example, weren't they both penniless?

Fortunately, Jia Yi had incredible luck and was accepted as a disciple by the master of the Duchen Immortal Mansion.

But what about Chu Nan? How will he support himself?

The six million I have right now isn't even enough to fill a gap in my stomach.

Let alone buying Chu Nan a complete eighth-grade metal-attribute spiritual material, it wouldn't even be enough to buy scraps.

Seeing that Lü Tu seemed very interested, Ming Zhenyue chuckled.

"All the spiritual veins in the Immortal Martial Empire are controlled by the imperial court. Local forces have no right to mine them without permission from the state government."

"Both the Cloud Void Spirit Vein's 30% private mining rights are being contested by the Cloud Sect and the Sky-Supporting Sect."

"But these two sects are the two strongest sects in Yehua Prefecture, and I can't afford to offend either of them. I'm having a real headache deciding who to give it to."

Lu Tu suppressed his greed and smiled.

"Prefect, please speak your mind."

Ming Zhenyue looked at Lü Tu and said, word by word.

I want to make a win-win deal with you.

"If you agree to help me kill someone, I'll give you 30% of the mining rights to the Cloud Void Spirit Vein, which you can then dispose of as you see fit."

Lu Tu remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was incredibly hungry for the food.

Thirty percent?

Even if it's just a spiritual vein worth a billion, you can still get a full three hundred million.

You should know that even though the Cloud Sect values ​​him so much, they only awarded him a mere 500 million.

Ming Zhenyue smiled and personally poured Lü Tu a cup of tea.

"Lu Tu, what do you think?"
