Chapter 213 "The Immortality Vault"
Chapter 213 "The Immortality Vault"
At the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce branch in Qianyang City, Yin Cang has been in a bad mood recently.
He finally found the cultivator who stole his Mist Lotus Heart Fire, but because of the obstruction of the Feiyu Chamber of Commerce, the boy escaped under his nose.
The Tianyuan bounty order has been issued for so long, but it has not produced any results. Instead, it has attracted many cultivators to fight each other.
This made Yin Cang feel very annoyed, and he felt resentful towards Feiyu Chamber of Commerce. He thought to himself that if he had the chance, he must take revenge on Feiyu Chamber of Commerce to vent his anger.
The competition is over, and Yin Cang will leave here alone in a few days to look for resources to improve his cultivation.
Logically speaking, as one of Hu Shilong's masters, with the strength of Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, providing him with sufficient training resources would be a piece of cake.
However, Yin Cang had a strange temperament and was unwilling to accept offerings from the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce. He preferred to rely on his own efforts to obtain resources for cultivation.
Like Yin Cang, Lei Aotian, the head of the Zhongyuan Lei family, was also in a bad mood.
Ever since his son Lei Junjie was killed by that Foundation Establishment cultivator, he first sent Lei Bao and Lei Hu to southern Xinjiang to look for that Foundation Establishment cultivator, but both of them died.
Afterwards, he sent another Jindan-stage disciple to continue to southern Xinjiang, but found nothing.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the Jindan-stage disciple. Just think about it, there are tens of thousands of cultivators in southern Xinjiang. Trying to find someone with just a memory crystal ball is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Lei brothers were just lucky before, as they happened to meet Lu Chen at the door of the teleportation hall when he returned to Zhongba City to look for Zi Xuan.
No matter how they felt, at least Lu Chen, the person involved, was in a very good mood.
After his parents became younger, they were naturally very happy, and the whole family was enjoying themselves, which deeply touched Lu Chen's heart.
No matter how much suffering you have endured outside or how many hardships you have gone through, your heart will always be warm when you see your parents are well.
During this period, Lu Chen also taught a set of breathing methods to his parents and Lai Bao, although it did not allow them to have cultivation.
But there is no problem in strengthening the body and prolonging life.
Lu Chen also generously gave Lai Bao half a pill of the Rejuvenating Pill.
After all, Lai Bao took care of his parents when they were in the most difficult times. This friendship is truly precious, and Lu Chen is very grateful to Lai Bao.
"Changshengku" means longevity money, which is used to lend money to others and earn interest.
Because mother metal gives birth to children, and the children are born in succession, endlessly, it is called longevity or endless.
To put it simply, "Changshengku" is a private lending organization.
According to dad Lu Tianhao, "Changshengku" is quite powerful in Yunluo City. Its industries include not only catering, casinos, and brothels, but also other dishonorable gray businesses.
In just a few months, the price increased from one million taels of gold to five million taels of gold. Lu Chen decided to go to the "Changshengku" to ask them how they calculated it.
The "Changsheng Casino" is located on the street of Zhuque Street in Yunluo City. Its location is very conspicuous and it consists of a three-story stand-alone wooden building.
The hall on the first floor is very spacious, with more than a dozen large tables placed there. Various gambling methods are available, and each gambling table is surrounded by a crowd of people, some participating in the gambling and some just stopping to watch and join in the fun.
There were a lot of people watching at the table where people were shaking the dice to guess the size.
"Buy...buy and leave." The dealer who was shaking the dice was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
At this moment, he nervously wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, spoke hesitantly, and looked fearfully at the young man sitting right in front of him.
Because since this young man came, he has been able to bet accurately every time, and after winning, he uses all the money as gambling capital.
As a result, the other party won 100,000 taels of gold in less than half an hour.
This time, the opponent bet everything on big, and if he lost again, the result would be predictable, so he was particularly nervous.
"Open it quickly! Hahaha..." At this time, the crowd who had placed bets with the young man and won many times in a row started to cheer excitedly.
"Big, big... open it quickly..." The crowd watching saw that the dealer was slow to open the dice cup and urged him anxiously.
However, the middle-aged man looked at the young man, always maintaining a calm smile, swallowed his saliva, and his hand on the dice cup couldn't stop shaking slightly.
"Hehehe... You go down first! We lose this round, so exchange the other people's money first."
At this time, an old man walked up to the middle-aged man and spoke with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. Behind him were four burly men who were obviously martial artists.
"Huh..." The man sitting in the bank felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard this. With the steward's words, his life was saved.
"Hehehe... Sir! I am the manager of this gambling house and my surname is Jin. I haven't asked for your full name yet. Would it be possible for us to come upstairs and chat?"
The old man who called himself Manager Jin bowed and smiled at the young man with extraordinary appearance.
"Lu Chen!" The young man smiled faintly, then stood up and motioned for the other party to lead the way.
Because the boss behind the "Changshengku" is quite mysterious, and my father doesn't know the relevant information, Lu Chen came to the "Changsheng Casino" under its umbrella.
He wanted to use this as a breakthrough point to find the mastermind behind the "Changshengku".
With Lu Chen's cultivation level, if he still can't win in gambling with a mortal, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
As Lu Chen expected, after he won more than ten games in a row, the other party's senior management came to him on their own initiative.
After arriving at a private room on the second floor, Manager Jin saw that Lu Chen had an extraordinary demeanor and probably had some powerful background, but he was young after all and still wanted to control Lu Chen.
As a result, Lu Chen directly asked the other party to take him to find the mastermind behind the "Changshengku".
Manager Jin's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he ordered his four men to teach Lu Chen a lesson.
As a result, he was easily knocked down by Lu Chen in just a few moves, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive. This frightened Manager Jin.
You have to know that these four of his men are top-notch experts in the martial arts world.
Finally, under the coercion and inducement of Lu Chen, Manager Jin had no choice but to take Lu Chen to a large manor in the east district of Yunluo City.
Only by paying homage to the master was he allowed to enter the manor.
There is an unspoken rule in the world of cultivation that cultivators are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world at will, otherwise it would be against the will of heaven and they will be punished by heaven sooner or later.
This is also the reason why there are very few monks in the mortal world who burn fat.
So Lu Chen plans to handle this matter in a low-key manner.
Led by the servants, Lu Chen and Manager Jin were brought to a magnificent and majestic palace, waiting for the arrival of the master of the "Changshengku".
I have to say that this "Changshengku" is really profitable. Such a large manor has a palace in the front, a garden in the back, rockery, strange rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions. It can be said to be a real mansion.
No one knows how much money the people have taken. Lu Chen in the palace is not in a hurry. He wants to see who the owner of this "Eternal Life Treasury" is...
