Fangzhangzhou, Tianyashan Base
Yu Yuhua introduced Chen Jinfa to Lu Xuan. In order to entertain Chen Jinfa, Lu Xuan prepared a table of top-quality ingredients, all of which were the most popular treasures at the moment.
However, they were all produced by Lu Xuan's own farm. China positioned Penglaizhou as an agricultural and animal husbandry industry, so in addition to heavy industry, the rest of the agricultural and animal husbandry industries are available in Penglaizhou, such as vegetables, flower industries, animal husbandry represented by cattle and sheep, and a small amount of spiritual medicine planting.
Thanks to the excellent geographical environment of Penglaizhou, the products of Penglaizhou are of very high quality and are sold all over the world. Its main market is China, and many luxury-level ingredients have been developed for this purpose.
"Mr. Lu spent a lot of money today. Such a table of ingredients cannot be taken without 200,000 spiritual stones,"
Chen Jinfa said to Lu Xuan with a smile. Such a table of ingredients is still not affordable for his level. After all, his income cannot be used simply for food and drink. He needs to practice and give some resources to his descendants. He has achieved true incorruptibility in China.
"Master Chen, you are joking. We are a farmer's family. We only have some local specialties. The expensive thing is the spirit wine that Brother Yu brought. Even if I sell myself, I can't afford this pot of wine."
Lu Xuan replied with a smile. He really didn't lie. The prices of these things at the place of origin are not outrageous. What is outrageous is that the middlemen add prices. When it reaches the hands of consumers, it is at least ten times higher, so it depends on who is treating.
"Master Yu's wine is also a rare treasure. I was fortunate to drink a glass of it when Master Qiu Weidao's eldest son got married. At that time, my cultivation was still low, and I couldn't stand a glass of wine."
"Haha, then Master Chen can drink two more glasses today. This wine is really rare..."
Yu Yuhua was heartless and didn't notice that the atmosphere at the wine table was not right. He was still talking about this spirit wine, and the topic was extended to other top spirit wines on the Chinese market. Alcohol
is a field that China imposes heavy taxes on. The price has always been high, especially some top spirit wines, which cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. This is still circulating on the market. The real good things will not circulate.
For example, several famous spiritual teas in China all belong to that old ancestor Lin. Other old ancestors also get a little from old ancestor Lin every year. It is not enough for him to drink, so how can it be circulated? When
Lu Xuan heard about that old ancestor Lin, his heart was moved. He asked the two about the old ancestor Lin without leaving any trace.
Chen Jinfa didn't say much, but Yu Yuhua was a little drunk and talked about Lin Jiang's affairs. For them, the second generation of cultivators, those awakened immortal cultivators are very mysterious.
The most mysterious one is naturally Lin Jiang, especially Yu Yuhua. He learned from the elders that at the end of the immortal cultivation era, all laws disappeared, and it was old ancestor Lin who led their sleep and allowed them to survive until now.
And old ancestor Lin was the first to wake up. He has been awake for more than 500 years. If the time of the immortal cultivation era is counted, it is unknown how many years he has lived.
"Hey, let me tell you some secrets. Those mysterious figures in Chinese history may be Lin Laozu, for example..."
Yu Yuhua finally revealed another secret. There are many mysterious people in Chinese history, and they are still in textbooks. They used to be recognized as unsolved mysteries, but now, they are basically considered to be Lin Laozu.
This made Lu Xuan and Chen Jinfa very emotional. As a person who has solved the problem of food and clothing, what they pursue in addition to immortality is fame and fortune. Being able to leave a deep mark in history is something many people dream of.
We are not saints, no one does not like fame and fortune, and no one does not like to leave a name in history.

"Sir Qiu"
"Jinfa, how is the case going?"
"So far, there is no evidence, no clues, but we have locked in a suspect."
"Tell me in detail."
"Yes, sir, the murderer committed the crime cleanly and efficiently, just like the Penglai Island case back then. The murderer is very powerful, and he strikes his targets quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. He either kills them with one blow or quickly resolves the situation and then withdraws without leaving any traces. Neither immortal cultivation methods nor scientific and technological means can be used to detect him. Apart from knowing that he practiced some weird and evil techniques, there are no clues at all."
Chen Jinfa said slowly. This case is very similar to the Penglai Island case back then, with similar methods and style.
"Tell me about the suspect you have locked on"
"Lu Xuan, the owner of a large farm in Penglai Island"
"Lu Xuan, is it him?"
"Yes, in the case of Penglai Island that year, the incident took place near Lu Xuan's territory, and the victims had a good relationship with Lu Xuan. This time Lu Xuan is in Fangzhang Island again, and Lu Xuan was already in the Spirit Transformation Stage more than a hundred years ago. Plus he is very rich, I suspect he is already in the Return to Void Stage"
"Based on this alone, it seems that we can't lock on him"
"Yes, but there are some things about the case that year that my subordinates haven't reported"
"Haha, go on"
"There are actually many suspicious points in the case back then. The dozen or so people who disappeared and died were all middle and senior executives of the Eight Desolations Group. They took advantage of the convenience of the group to embezzle and smuggle, and acquired a lot of private property in Penglai Island. I checked some traces before their accident and found that they had smuggled a batch of contraband.
But I haven't found out what it is exactly. Later, an executive president of the Eight Desolations Group put pressure on me to close the case. I couldn't withstand the pressure and closed the case,"
Chen Jinfa said. Even now, he didn't dare to say some things. If the case at that time was investigated in depth, it would involve many private matters of the senior executives of the Eight Desolations Group.
They occupied a lot of land in Penglai Island and had many industries, but they were not in the company industries of the Eight Desolations Group. Some of them were under the name of Lu Xuan, and those people had a very good relationship with Lu Xuan.
If we follow this line of investigation, I'm afraid that the Eight Desolations Group will be shaken, so he was indeed under pressure at the time, and coupled with the fact that he was about to be promoted at that time, Chen Jinfa hastily closed the case.
Now that he thought about it, there were many suspicious points in the case of Penglai Island, and Lu Xuan was in Fangzhang Island in this case, so he locked Lu Xuan as a suspect.
Of course, the most important thing is that he felt that Lu Xuan had the ability. More than a hundred years ago, Lu Xuan was the first of the new generation. With his financial resources, he must not lack resources. If he added the evil skills, he would have a great chance of advancing to the Return to Void.
"I just checked, and the spiritual root attribute registered by Lu Xuan on the Hunter Platform is two spiritual roots, but judging from the skills and resources he exchanged on the Hunter Platform, he should have five spiritual roots. Your guess is not unreasonable."
"Yes, sir, then I apply for a comprehensive investigation of Lu Xuan."
"My suggestion is to directly control Lu Xuan."
"Sir, this Lu Xuan has a wide range of friends..."
Chen Jinfa said hurriedly. He had dealt with Lu Xuan several times in the past few days and found that he had a wide range of friends. Most of the elites of the new generation of China had a good relationship with him, which made him a little unsure.
"Is it great to have a wide circle of friends? How many people do you know?"
"As far as I know, people like Lin Liyan and Yu Yuhua are on good terms with him."
"Anyone else? Are there people at my level?"
"Uh, not yet."
"That's it. A bunch of juniors, haven't we killed enough of them in these years?"
"Sir, Chinese law..."
"Chen Jinfa, what are you doing? Is Lu Xuan a Chinese? Are you talking to me about Chinese law?"
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Qiu Weidao scolded, and Chen Jinfa immediately realized that, yes, Chinese law must be maintained, but that is for the Chinese, not Lu Xuan.
The purpose of China is to be a sage inside and a king outside. Internally, one must be as gentle as a sage, and externally, one must implement the kingly way. What is the kingly way? Those who are not obedient will be crushed. If it is domineering, those who are not obedient will be crushed.
"Go and control the man. I will send another team to Penglai Island to investigate the Bahuang Group. The Bahuang Group has been a little bit unruly in recent years, and it needs to be cleaned up."
"Sir, I obey your orders, but Lu Xuan is very powerful..."
"I see. I will dispatch a few priests over. You can take action after they are all here,"
said Qiu Weidao. There are a lot of Return to the Void in China now. Although they all hold high positions, their power is different. Some of them have no background and no special abilities. They just serve as priests in some fields and take money without doing anything. Qiu Weidao also has a few of them in his department, and this time is just right for them to relax.
