Inside the Ling Mine.
Lu Dahu's eyes really looked like a vicious tiger, ready to devour anyone.
"Old Chen, I'm going to ask you one last time, where is my brother?"
Old Chen was trembling all over. How could a mortal bear the pressure from a Foundation Establishment Master?
With a "thump", Lao Chen fell to his knees.
"Woo woo woo, Master Dahu, even if you kill me, I can only say that Master Zhengzhi went southwest. Other than that, I really don't know anything!"
The veins on Lu Dahu's arms bulged, and a tiger-headed wild knife appeared in his hand. The murderous aura enveloped the entire place, as if hell had come.
"Okay, Da Hu." A light voice sounded.
Lu Xingshi glanced at Old Chen, who was shaking like a sieve, and said, "I believe Old Chen. He is an old man in the clan's mines, and his loyalty to the family is much higher than that of ordinary people."
Old Chen quickly kowtowed to Lu Xingshi, "Thank you for your trust, Chief!"
Lu Xingshi nodded, then stopped looking at him and said to the three Foundation Establishment Masters around him, "I know Zhengzhi. He seems out of touch with reality at ordinary times, but he's very calm and composed when it comes to big things."
"The mysterious disappearance could mean either an encounter with a powerful enemy or a fall into a mysterious realm. Whatever the case, we need to be extremely vigilant."
"Let's go southwest. If you're alive, I want to see you. If you're dead, I want to see your body!"
"Yes, clan leader!" The other three foundation-building masters answered in unison.
"Whose body do you want to see?" A nonchalant voice sounded outside the mine.
As soon as Old Chen heard this, he burst into tears of excitement. He didn't care that there were Foundation Establishment Masters around him and ran out of the mine, "Master Zhengzhi!"
He is over sixty years old, and the reason he is so out of control is not entirely because he has just been to the gates of hell several times.
It was also because he really suspected that it was because of his words that Lu Zhengzhi was in danger.
All the previous guards at the mine were good, but Lu Zhengzhi was universally recognized as the best.
Old Chen didn't want to kill the youngest, most talented and kind-hearted genius of the Lu family because of himself.
Bang!
Before he could take a few steps, Lao Chen bumped into a body that was hard yet soft.
"Hey! Old Chen, I don't mind throwing myself into your arms, but it's not appropriate at your age, right? How about your daughter instead?"
Before Old Chen could recover from his dizziness, he saw Lu Zhengzhi's face with a smirk looking at him.
Old Chen showed an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing, "Master Zhengzhi! You are finally back!"
“Woo woo woo!”
As the wailing sound rang out, Lu Zhengzhi pushed Lao Chen to Lu Zhengyuan next to him with disgust, and walked towards Lu Xingshi and others.
Lu Dahu was about to put on a stern face and teach Lu Zhengzhi a lesson, but as soon as the two men approached, Lu Dahu's expression changed.
"Have you established your foundation?"
Lu Zhengzhi looked up at him and said, "Don't be jealous. I'm just a little better than you."
Then he looked at Lu Xingshi, who still had a stern expression and was dignified and solemn, and threw the storage bag in his hand out. "Here, Zhengyuan gives this to you, the third uncle, as a filial gift."
Lu Xingshi took it with one hand and was about to sarcastically say something, but when his hand came into contact with the spiritual energy emanating from the storage bag, his mouth stopped and he couldn't help but say, "So much Xuan-level aura..."
Lu Zhengzhi watched his expression change and seemed to be very proud of his shocked look.
Then he waved, "Let's go to my cabin and talk."
——
"What! The Bai family actually teamed up with the Black Eyes Cult to hunt down Zheng Yuan?"
"You actually obtained the map of the secret realm of Xiaocang Mountain a long time ago?"
"This trial is quite interesting..."
"Golden Elixir Secret Realm! Immortal Marrow Spirit Spring!"
Fortunately, Lu Zhengzhi had set up a soundproofing array in his hut early on, otherwise Lu Xingshi's shocked cry would have been heard throughout the entire mine.
Lu Zhengzhi sucked in a breath of cold air and scratched his ears, "Third Uncle, let's stop making such a fuss."
Lu Xingshi slammed the table in anger, "Am I making a fuss? According to what you said, the secret realm of the Golden Core in Xiaocang Mountain contains a treasure that will allow the entire Lu family to become a Yuanying family!"
"If you and Da Hu have a promising future, my Lu family will be able to produce two Golden Core True Immortals!"
"This is such a major event concerning the fate of our family, how can we not take it seriously!"
Lu Zhengzhi lowered his head in anger.
There's no way around it. He's the strongest in the family, with great military achievements, and that's how high his status is.
"Okay, it's true that I overreacted just now." Seeing Lu Zhengzhi's expression, Lu Xingshi couldn't help but reflect on himself for going too far.
"According to Zhengzhi, the Bai family should have formed an alliance with the remnants of the Black Eyed Cult. We should add them to the list of enemies."
"Moreover, in Yunmeng Mountain, the Golden Core Secret Realm will be revealed in twenty-nine days."
"Once the golden elixir appears, everything changes dramatically. The fact that miners have been frequently encountering rare spiritual flowers and objects that only appear once in a century these past few days also illustrates this point."
“This is an opportunity, but also a challenge!”
Lu Xingshi looked around at everyone, with a blazing fire in his eyes.
Lu Zhengzhi felt a little uncomfortable under Lu Xingshi's gaze and could not help but lower his head.
I thought to myself, this old guy is just an old guy. He has experienced more than a hundred years of wind and rain, but when he put it on the table, I couldn't even look at him.
At the same time, one cannot help but sigh at the Lu family’s sense of belonging to the family.
"From today on, the Lu family will all move into Yunmeng Mountain and strive to maximize their profits before the Bai and Liu families!"
Lu Xingshi said to everyone present.
His voice was firm, carrying the courage of once again going into battle.
The second day.
One third of the Lu family's disciples received orders to enter Yunmeng Mountain.
Originally, they were dissatisfied with the hard work of going into the mountains.
But when they went to the Foreign Affairs Hall and received a spiritual weapon of at least mid-grade yellow rank from the current Chief of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengzhi, their expressions instantly brightened up again.
Lu Zhengzhi smiled even happier than them.
[Ding! Congratulations to the owner for investing in the clan's top-grade yellow-level hidden weapon—the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle.]
【Rebate available——】
[Option 1: Xuan-level low-grade hidden weapon - Sky Rain Falling Star Lotus]
[Option 2: Slightly improve your cultivation]
[Option 3: Xuan-level mid-grade poison recipe - Tree-sent smoke]
After handing a wooden box containing the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles to the late-stage Qi training cultivator in front of him, three options popped up in Lu Zhengzhi's eyes.
This is the interface after the system upgrade.
Compared with the previous system, the current system is much smarter.
Without much thought, he chose the poisonous recipe.
Compared to spiritual weapons that can be obtained quickly, pill and poison recipes are more precious.
After choosing these recipes, Lu Zhengzhi can make the corresponding spiritual objects himself.
[Tree-Parasite Smoke - The poison source can be implanted into the bark of a tree, constantly emitting poisonous gas. The time it takes to take effect is proportional to the vitality of the parasitic tree.]
Lu Zhengzhi's eyes lit up.
This thing is good. It can add a layer of defense to those areas in Yunmeng Mountain that have been guarded by Lu family disciples.
If the enemy invades, they will be poisoned silently.
