Landlord Era: I can upgrade my entries

Lu Changqing looked into the distance and saw a white-robed youth carrying a long spear walking towards Changqing Tower.

"Are you an immortal?"

The young man looked at Lu Changqing, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. In his view, the immortal seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Aren't immortals supposed to have white hair and beards, and an otherworldly air? How come they're just as handsome as you readers?

He then saw Huang Zhong kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Mu Lanxin with her bright green hair, his eyes filled with surprise.

"I'm not an immortal yet, but would you like to become one?"

Lu Changqing looked at the young man in front of him and asked in return.

No, I don't want to.

The boy shook his head, then spoke again: "I came here to ask the immortal a question."

"what?"

Lu Changqing let out a soft exclamation, not expecting that this young man would not seek immortality but instead come to ask questions.

"Ask away, I will answer you within the scope of my ability."

"I want to ask the immortals, was the collapse of the heavens caused by the immortals?"

The young man in white robes looked curious, as if he wanted to confirm his thoughts.

"No, the collapse of the heavens is the path to the destruction of this world, it is the rule of heaven and earth, and it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Changqing answered calmly.

The collapse of the heavens is a change in the rules of heaven and earth, and he currently has no ability to change the rules of heaven and earth.

The collapse of the sky is both a natural disaster and an opportunity; it all depends on whether one can seize this opportunity.

Countless worlds have vanished due to cataclysmic events, but some individuals have found opportunities that have transformed their worlds.

All of this is within the framework of the rules of heaven and earth.

"This wasn't done by an immortal..."

The boy remained silent, his gaze fixed on the spear in his hand, his eyes filled with obvious tremor.

"Young man, I see you have considerable talent. Would you be willing to join my ranks and embark on the path to immortality?"

Lu Changqing looked at the silent boy and asked with a smile.

At this moment, he seemed to be holding a martial arts manual and asking the boy if he wanted to buy it.

If he wasn't mistaken, this person was the fish he had caught, but judging from his current appearance, he should still be a teenager.

"I'm sorry, immortal, I still have parents at home, so I cannot travel far."

"Your name is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, is that correct?"

Lu Changqing smiled, looking at the young man in front of him with admiration.

"Does the immortal know my name?"

Zhao Yun looked surprised. He only said one word, but Lu Changqing immediately saw through his words.

Huang Zhong, who was already standing to one side, also looked at Lu Changqing. He had only mentioned his courtesy name, but Lu Changqing had already revealed his full name.

"Since you're here, let's go inside and talk."

"Lan Xin, please take care of the child for now."

Lu Changqing gave instructions to Mu Lanxin.

"Yes, my lord!"

Mu Lanxin bowed slightly, then took the child to receive treatment.

Lu Changqing led the two of them into Changqing Tower. Su Qing'er, who had been following him, stayed by his side but did not enter the room; instead, she stood guard outside.

Inside the Changqing Tower, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were somewhat at a loss.

Because Lu Changqing was personally pouring wine for the two of them, and in their minds, Lu Changqing was an immortal.

"Don't be nervous."

Looking at the two of them, Lu Changqing couldn't help but smile and say something.

Zhao Yun wasn't like this just now; now he has some of the qualities a young man should have.

"Try it."

Lu Changqing gestured for the two of them to taste the wine in their glasses.

Without hesitation, the two took the glasses and drank the wine.

In an instant, the two felt a strange power surge into their bodies.

Huang Zhong felt it more clearly. He already had some hidden injuries, but under this power, his body felt completely refreshed, as if he had become ten years younger.

Zhao Yun, who was standing to the side, didn't feel much of a difference, but he did feel much more relaxed.

"Thank you for the wine, Immortal!"

Huang Zhong stood up and bowed solemnly to Lu Changqing.

Sitting to the side, Zhao Yun looked at Huang Zhong and the thought popped into his head: should I get up and bow as well?

"Now that you are under my command, you may address me as your lord from this day forward."

"Yes, my lord!"

Seeing Zhao Yun's somewhat nervous expression, Lu Changqing smiled. He then asked, "You asked me about the collapse of the heavens, but did you personally witness the changes it brought?"

"Exactly."

"When the heavens collapsed, I witnessed with my own eyes how the world was torn apart by a mysterious force."

Zhao Yun nodded, subconsciously glancing at the silver-white spear in his hand.

Lu Changqing also noticed his gaze and his eyes fell on the spear in his hand.

"Oh? May I take a look at that spear you're holding?"

He noticed that the spear in Zhao Yun's hand actually possessed a certain spiritual quality; if he wasn't mistaken, this spear was no ordinary weapon.

Zhao Yun hesitated for only a moment before handing it to Lu Changqing.

"It truly is a treasure."

Lu Changqing took the spear and stroked it, feeling as if it were covered in dragon scales. It felt very comfortable to hold.

Infused with spiritual energy, a silvery-white light flashed from the spear in an instant, and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong felt a chilling glint on their backs.

It was as if someone was holding a spear to their necks.

Zhao Yun looked at the changes in the spear, his eyes filled with surprise and shock.

He had had this spear for a long time, but it had never changed like this before.

"Immortal, what is a treasure?"

Zhao Yun stared at the spear, feeling an immense attraction it held for him.

"A treasure is a gift from heaven. You have not yet embarked on cultivation, so you cannot unleash the power of a treasure."

Lu Changqing smiled and then returned the spear to Zhao Yun.

This treasure is excellent, but it already has some connection with Zhao Yun.

One very important aspect of a magical artifact is that it comes with its own unique cultivation method, which is adapted to its owner.

Although Lu Changqing was able to utilize some of the treasure's abilities, he could not sense the cultivation techniques contained within it.

"A stroke of luck from heaven?"

Zhao Yun stared blankly at the spear in his hand, his eyes lost in memories.

He witnessed the collapse of the sky with his own eyes, and a streak of light crashed down on him.

The stream of light transformed into a long spear, which floated calmly in front of him. Then, the spear seemed to fall into a deep sleep, without any further changes.

At the time, he thought it was a dream, until just now, when the spear burst into light in Lu Changqing's hand, he was truly certain that it was not a dream.

"This spear is called the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear. Once you embark on your cultivation journey, you will understand what a treasure represents."

Lu Changqing said with a smile that he already knew the name of the spear.

"Gentian Silver Spear!"

Zhao Yun muttered to himself, "In the darkness, this spear is meant to be mine."

"Would you be willing to join my ranks? I can then teach you the ways of cultivation."

Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, Lu Changqing asked again.

"Cultivation? But I live in a house..."

Zhao Yun was interrupted by Lu Changqing before he could finish speaking.

"I didn't say you can't bring your family."

"But Immortal, didn't you say that only those with exceptional talent can..."

"Because my rules are the only rules, and if I say it's okay, it's okay."

Lu Changqing shrugged. He set the rules; whoever he allowed to step onto the path of immortality could do so.

This was something he could have done with just a word.

"This…"

Zhao Yun stared blankly at Lu Changqing, wondering if this immortal was really the one he had imagined.

Huang Zhong, who was standing nearby, also wore a strange expression when he heard their conversation.

This immortal seems to be quite unconventional.

Yes, it means being unconventional.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something. When the cataclysm began, this world was already heading towards its end. Perhaps one day this world will disappear completely."

Lu Changqing said in a serious tone.

To be honest, he himself didn't know whether the fragmented world would gradually disappear in the future or what. He wasn't very clear about it, but it was still good enough to fool people.

"The world has disappeared?"

Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.
