Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 615: Pros and cons
Dragon boat.
Lu Tong stood on the dragon's head, looking in the direction of the Flying Crown Immortal Ship.
As expected, the two people who have won ten consecutive games have ulterior motives. A disciple of an old friend came over to rekindle old friendship; a disciple of Master Fei Guan came over to test the foundation.
A painting boat is approaching.
Chu Jianglan stood on the deck, with a woman in her thirties next to her. The woman's skin is slightly darker. She is wearing a dark purple satin robe and a black whip-shaped belt around her waist. She looks very capable.
As he approached the dragon boat, Lu Tong took a step forward, landed on the deck, and said, "Little Fucao?"
"Master still remembers me."
The woman looked very surprised.
Lu Tong didn’t find a single trace of the small lotus grass, but he still nodded and said, “Go up and talk.”
"Yeah."
The two entered the Jinlou guest room.
Two rooms, a living room and a study room.
The maid brings tea.
Lu Tong sat at the head of the hall and said: "A hundred years have passed, and the little girl who was so weak back then can now take charge of her own business."
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness! If Master hadn't entrusted me to Grandpa Cao, Yun Ganniang, and Uncle Wu, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"I also want to thank you, Mr. Friends."
During his lifetime, Youlao made many friends, including the old woman who cut cassocks, fellow Taoist Yun who played the piano, and the old man Cao who made alchemy...
When I left, I entrusted the little lotus grass to them.
When talking about You Lao, both of them felt a little sad.
Lu Tong exhaled and asked, "Are Taoist friends Cao and Yun still okay?"
"Grandpa Cao and Master Wu are deceased. Goddess Yun is still here, and we live together in Wanyin Waterside Pavilion."
"Very good."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, and said, "Is Chu Jianglan your apprentice?"
"Well, like me, she was lonely and helpless since childhood."
"She is very powerful and can teach such a disciple. It seems that Xiao Fucao is not an ordinary person."
Xiao Fucao smiled implicitly and said: "Thanks to Godmother and others for teaching me piano skills, jade, calligraphy and painting, elixirs, etc., I opened a waterside pavilion in Xiaojifang, which has gained a little reputation in recent years."
"Awesome."
Lu Tong put down his tea cup and stopped being polite.
Chu Jianglan said that Xiao Fucao had been missing him strangely, but they were not close to each other after they met, so there must be other secrets.
After a brief silence.
Xiao Fucao lowered his head, exhaled and said, "Master, do you still remember Youlao?"
"Of course."
"I was ignorant when I was a child, and it took me nearly ten years to understand what exactly happened. Over the years, I have found out that the enemy who killed Youlao was Yinlao, and he is also Duyin from Yi Laofang."
Lu Tong's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Do you want revenge?"
"Well, Mr. You has been so kind to me. I must take revenge. This is also Grandpa Cao's last wish."
"Duyin has been looking for me, do you know?"
Xiao Fucao nodded.
Lu Tongtong: "He has already joined the dragon boat and will work for me in the future. Do you still want to kill him?"
Little Fu Cao bit her lip, stood up and said with cupped hands: "Cao Fu is willing to lead the waterside pavilion and worship into the dragon boat to serve the master. She only asks the master to kill this beast!"
Lu Tong fell into silence.
Du Yin has a deep scheming mind. There is a shortage of people now, especially people who can take charge of their own affairs. They are more useful alive than dead;
Little Fucao, after an old friend. Although I don't know how strong Shuixie is, I can teach a disciple like Chu Jianglan, who should not be weaker than the small family.
One is useful and the other is familiar.
While he was thinking.
Xiao Fucao buried her head and said: "Jiang Lan is only 21 years old and is not yet married. She has admired Yuanying since she was a child and is willing to follow her master as a slave!"
Chu Jianglan's expression changed instantly, she stared at the master's back for a moment, then slowly lowered her head.
Lu Tong glanced at it and said, "Is it worth it?"
"Ask the master for help!"
Little Fucao never stopped bowing.
Lu Tong slowly shook his head and said, "I won't kill Duyin, but I can give you a chance."
Little Fucao raised her head.
Lu Tongtong: "Du Yin has joined the dragon boat. If he makes no mistakes, I will naturally not touch him. But if he is too selfish and violates the rules on the dragon boat, no one can save him."
He stood up, walked to Xiao Fucao, and said, "Can you wait?"
"How long to wait?"
"You know Duyin better than me. How long do you think it will take?"
Xiao Fucao was silent for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Master!"
"Go ahead."
Lu Tong sat back and picked up the remaining tea.
Xiao Fucao glanced at Chu Jianglan, shook her head, and left the room alone.
Chu Jianglan stayed where he was, feeling at a loss for a moment.
Lu Tong waved his hand and said, "Go back."
"Thank you, Master!"
Chu Jianglan saluted and hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey."
Lu Tong finished drinking the tea, put down the cup, and said: "Back then, You Lao realized that something was wrong, so he placed the little Fu Cao properly before running away. A hundred years later, Xiao Fu Cao sent his disciples out again in order to take revenge."
Dian Si'er walked out of the study, and the bookshelf behind him slowly returned to the distance.
"It has been found out. The owner of Wanyin Waterside Pavilion is Cao Fu. He only entertains female guests. He is good at music and also sells clothes, jade, and elixirs."
Lu Tong was a little confused and said: "Besides, these alone cannot teach a disciple like Chu Jianglan."
"Cao Fu has a good friend named Shen, who is the third son of the previous owner of Xiaojifang."
"Previous office?"
Dian Si'er nodded, with a strange look on his face, and said, "Well, Master Shen has taken refuge in Yun Ao, and Master Feiguan has appointed a disciple as the new master."
Lu Tong blinked and lowered his head to think.
Dian Si'er picked up the teapot and added tea while saying: "Sir, did Cao Fu offer his disciples to avenge You Lao, or did he want to find a big backer?"
Lu Tong picked up the teacup and said, "I guess it's similar to Duyin."
"What?"
Dian Si'er was a little confused.
Lu Tong grinned and said: "Guess, Duyin came to us because he was afraid of the friendship between you and me, or because he was looking for a future for himself?"
Dian Si'er frowned and thought.
He shook his head, finished the tea in one gulp, stood up and said: "Weighing the pros and cons, everyone does this."
……
The tail of the dragon boat.
In the main hall, thousands of blood lines as thick as a thumb criss-crossed, forming a blood network covering the entire main hall.
Lu Tong stood outside the formation and took out the five jade bottles given by Yuan Shu Laojun.
The jade bottles were taken out, and a stream of Zhenqi spiritual liquid was poured out. The true energy generates light, five colors of azure, purple-red, willow yellow, gray-white, and purple-black, complementing each other.
He immediately mobilized his magic power and injected the five kinds of true energy into the formation.
The Five Qi and Blood Formation begins to rotate.
Lu Tong nodded.
Dian Si'er immediately activated the dragon boat formation, and the entire dragon boat lit up with a layer of golden light, devouring spiritual energy and pouring it into the formation.
A cloud of colorful blood mist rose from the formation.
Lu Tong took a step forward, transformed into a half-foot-long thunder dragon, and jumped into the center of the formation.
"His!"
He opened his mouth and inhaled, and five-colored blood mist immediately poured into his mouth and nose.
My five internal organs suddenly hurt, as if they were being pierced by billions of silver needles as thin as cow hair. Then there was another cold, and it seemed to be really broken into a broken bag, swallowing up the blood mist continuously.
The blood spirit is consumed quickly.
Lu Tong's body gradually became weak and he began to breathe heavily.
"Huh, huh, huh, huh..."
The blood mist rose continuously, and with the sound of gasping, it penetrated into the body of the thunder dragon.
Nearly an hour later.
In the formation, the blood mist became very thin.
Lu Tong opened his mouth and swallowed, sucking in all the blood mist. Then he took out his magic power and sucked all the formation patterns into his mouth.
A chill ran along the back of my spine.
"Ah"
He raised his head and let out a long groan. After a moment of understanding, he lowered his head and looked at the dragon claws. He frowned and said, "No change?"
True energy is hard to find.
I originally planned to search by myself, find the easy-to-obtain Qi, and then arrange the formation.
However, after seven consecutive attempts without success, I had to give up this idea temporarily and choose the five kinds of Qi given by Laojun.
Dian Si'er walked to the side, looked around carefully, and said, "There are changes."
"Where?"
Lu Tong immediately looked back at his tail and mane.
Dian Si'er took out a bronze mirror and said, "A few lightning bolts turned into arcs."
He looked immediately.
The white part of the dragon's belly is crystal clear, sealing countless thunder and lightning. Thunder and lightning move around like clumps of weeds.
Lu Tong searched twice.
Finally, I saw several arc-shaped lightning bolts in front of my lower abdomen. The messy thunder and lightning became very smooth, like metal wires.
"Is this a Thunder Blade?"
"Probably not, there are two lines in the tail."
……
After sunrise.
One figure entered the main hall and sat cross-legged on the steps.
Lu Tong fell outside the hall.
Nearly a hundred people stood up and saluted at the same time, saying: "Meet the master!"
He looked into the palace.
Xiao Longting, Duyin, Zhiguan, Chu Jianglan, Fatty Ji and others, as well as the leader of the Yellow-throated Bee clan, Feng Jian, and the young clan leader, Feng Blade.
"Sit."
"Yes."
Amidst a series of strange noises, many humans and demons all sat down.
Outside the hall, the flower pond has turned into a mud pond. There are three crystal peepholes on it. Through the peepholes, you can see that it is filled with blood.
The little blue bird took several maids, opened the peephole, and poured in jars of fresh monster blood.
Lu Tong took out the blood talisman and waved his hand, and several feet-long **** leeches flew out. He raised his hand to catch it, tore it into a ball of essence and blood, waved it into the hall, and turned into a rain of blood that fell on everyone.
"Hiss!"
"Ah!"
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, and they immediately used their magic power to refine their blood essence.
After a cup of tea.
Xiao Longting was the first to finish refining, walked out of the hall, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Master!"
Lu Tong nodded and said, "Has the Rewind Waterfall been cleaned up?"
The group of monsters that rolled up the waterfall fled, leaving some scattered monsters entrenched in holes, deep in the sand, and other corners.
“After sifting twice, there may be some hidden in the crevices of the rocks.”
"Take the officer to look for it again and then give it to Madam."
"Yes."
Xiao Longting said goodbye and left, heading to the Golden Tower to rest.
One figure after another left.
They all stayed at the end and walked out of the hall alone, cupping their hands and saying, "Thank you, Master."
"How's Tang's business going?"
"The contacts have been completed, and there is only one last thing left for the master to decide."
"Say."
"I found the general who defended the city of Pengshui City. If I want to be more generous, I need to divide a portion of the income and hand it over to the treasury of Pengshui City."
"How much?"
Lu Tong was not surprised.
The power is in the hands and the meat is in the mouth. Unless the chain is too tight, no one can hold it back.
Duyin stretched out four fingers.
"Forty percent."
Lu Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "Where's the Tang family? How much do they want?"
"The Tang family originally wanted 50%, but I talked to them several times and it was reduced to 40%."
"So I can only get 20%?"
Lu Tong was dissatisfied and his voice sounded very unhappy.
Du Yin immediately said: "There is no need to send people, and there is no need to worry. The transaction is completed, and we will directly share 20% of the proceeds."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong nodded and said: "It's only 20%, why do you want to be their beauty?"
It's very simple.
Almost like a puppet, acting as the face of the Tang family, picking up the business left in Jiguo.
But the risk is not small.
The Tang family is treasonous. If one day, the news leaks out, or old matters need to be brought up again, the first person to bear the brunt will be the puppet standing at the front.
He is the real Nascent Soul. He has no foundation, which means he has no weakness and can easily bear the consequences.
Others may not be willing to take the risk.
Du Yin lowered his head, remained silent for a while, and said: "Master, wait a few more days and let me discuss it again."
"Go ahead."
Du Yin left with a heavy heart.
Lu Tong returned to the palace and sat alone on the golden couch.
Things are complicated.
Internal affairs, foreign affairs, family affairs, and spiritual practice are all coming at the same time. We haven’t established a country yet, but we are already a little tired.
Dian Sier came towards me, holding a letter in his hand.
It happened again.
"Hey."
He sighed.
Dian Si'er was a little confused and said: "Master, what's wrong?"
"It's okay."
Dian Si'er jumped up, handed over the letter, and said: "The news about Shang Linguo is related to an acquaintance."
"Who?"
"Gan Guo."
Lu Tong opened the envelope.
Dian Si'er sat next to him and said: "The person who wrote the letter is called Xichun. I used to buy the Mingqiang of Lechou Tower with a lot of money after I came out. Now I manage a turnover warehouse in the Wanyao Chamber of Commerce and have three caravans under my command. ."
"Yeah."
He nodded slowly. ~IndoMTL.com~ The letter stated that the warehouse was robbed more than half a year ago and a batch of goods was lost. The cargo manifest said ‘tiger-spotted iron’, but Shang Lin Kingdom actually sent a great monk to investigate.
It wasn't until three months ago that Xichun accidentally learned that the robbed mineral was "ossified iron" and that the person who robbed the ore was "Che Guo".
There are many doubts about this matter.
Bonified iron is not considered a treasure, but it is not stated directly;
The whole country is separated by thousands of miles, whether it is for tiger-spotted iron or ossified iron, it is totally not worth it;
Shang Linguo’s response was also extraordinary.
Lu Tong put down the letter.
Dian Si'er said: "Several countries in the underworld have occupied the Xinye Mountains. They also have magic weapons similar to the Sky Cannon, but the materials used are extremely precious. I suspect that the Shang Lin Kingdom is so aggressive in fighting with the Sky Cannon. Related."
He nodded, with various thoughts floating in his mind.
Through the country, the leader of the country is Ganguo.
There are three Nascent Souls on the surface, one from Baihua Academy, one from the Gan family, and one who is also an acquaintance - Baorong Zhenren.
"There is no ossified iron inside Shanglin Country?"
Dian Si'er immediately took out a large book half a foot back, found nearly a stick of incense, and then said: "Yes, but not much. The country of 'Bailang' has the most boned iron."
After Dian Si'er finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment and took out another book.
"Bai Lang Kingdom... Wan Yi brought Shui Qilin there back then, and stayed for three days, setting up a branch in the capital."
Lu Tong thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do we have any here?"
Dian Si'er searched for a long time and said: "There is one near Chuisu Immortal Ship, but the lake there is extremely deep and difficult to mine."
"Don't be afraid of difficulties, just be afraid of nothing."
Lu Tong showed a smile on his face and said: "Spread the news and tell other countries that the sky cannon is related to boned iron."
