Chapter 113 Father-in-law is awesome
Time gradually turns to autumn and the breeze gradually rises.
The leaves of some trees on the hill have begun to turn yellow, swirling in the wind and slowly falling down.
But in Lu Sen's home, there are still birds singing and flowers blooming.
Qi Quan, a wealthy stone merchant, sat opposite Lu Sen, half-bending his waist subconsciously, appearing very nervous and respectful.
Lu Sen held the crystal fragment in his hand, stared at it for a while, then put it down and said, "Mr. Qi is thoughtful."
"No way, that's what I should do, as I should." Qi Quan smiled happily, and his facial features seemed to be about to be crumpled into a ball because of his fatness.
Qi Quan was one of the "white gloves" of the Prince of Runan County. Lu Sen had also met him before. Last time, the Prince of Runan County hosted a banquet for these white gloves to gather together again, and by the way, allowed Lu Sen to meet more people.
These people's status is indeed not high, but in life, there are always some troublesome things that need someone's help to solve, and these people are a great help.
"What about those Semu women?" Lu Sen asked.
"Let's keep them in the servants' fields for now." Qi Quan leaned forward and said seriously, "If they want a place to stay, give it to them. And please rest assured, Master Lu, I only take in women, not men of color."
"That's good." Lu Sen picked up the teacup.
This means seeing off the guest.
Qi Quan stood up and said some words of farewell. When he reached the door, Heizhu came over and handed him a fruit basket.
Looking at the fresh fruits, Qi Quan's face was full of smiles.
Of all the things Master Lu could give away now, the most powerful one was naturally the wood carving of a spiritual beast. But only Mr. Bao got one, followed by honey, and then the fairy fruit.
But don’t think that the fairy fruit is worthless... In the entire Bianjing city, except for the civil and military officials who can attend the court, it is extremely difficult for other people to eat a piece of the fruit.
Qi Quan was able to get a basket of fruits, which was a huge profit. Normally, it would be almost impossible for him to get a fairy fruit.
"Master Lu is really generous. It's really a good thing to do things for him." Qi Quan left happily.
In the pavilion, Lu Sen picked up the crystal fragment again.
According to the system description, this thing can make people hallucinate, but how to use it is a difficult problem.
After all, he is not a real psychic, just a useless guy with cheats.
After playing with the crystal fragments for a while and not finding anything special, he gave up and put the fragments into his system backpack.
For the next ten days or so, he seemed to have nothing to do. Apart from the routine movie showings, he practiced calligraphy and archery.
Archery is the only deterrent method of attack at present, and Lu Sen intends to put some effort into this aspect.
At the same time, he has now truly mastered the "Taiyi Hunyuan Gong" and can already mobilize his internal energy.
Although he is not yet able to achieve the level of releasing internal energy like Zhan Zhao, he can still attach internal energy to the bow and arrow.
This made the arrows he shot out slightly more powerful.
The arrow's flying speed was also a little faster, but not significantly.
But this is finally a good start. As long as there is progress, Lu Sen believes that he can always practice this skill to a very high level.
This leisurely life was very comfortable until the Prince of Runan came to the mountain with a group of people.
Several mules carried heavy baskets, and when they brought these things to the yard, they poured them out. Lu Sen was helpless amid the rustling sounds.
In the sunlight, there were a large number of colorful gems, all the size of a thumb, piled up in a large area on the ground.
Yang Jinhua was dazzled, but her pride as the immortal's wife made her try her best to appear calm and pretend that she didn't care.
But Zhao Bilian didn't have so many concerns. She just threw herself into the pile of gems and rolled around, laughing happily.
The Prince of Runan's face almost turned black. Such an uneducated girl was actually his own daughter?
But a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. He looked at Lu Sen and was relieved to see that the latter had no reaction.
Although he thought Zhao Bilian's behavior was indeed not good, the young couple did not mind, and as a father and father-in-law, there was no need for him to act like a bad guy.
"This is too much." Lu Sen looked at the pile of gems, speechless.
"Most of them are treasures from my Zhao Mansion, and about one third were purchased quietly from the market." The Prince of Runan said with regret, "Except for Bianjing City, the gems in the neighboring big cities have been almost bought by my men. The average price of gems on the market has doubled. It will be uneconomical to buy more."
After all, he is a prince, and his foundation is sufficient.
"Jinhua, take the storage box and pack the gems first." Lu Sen then looked at the side and said: "Heizhu and Lingqin, you stay in the yard. If there are guests, tell them that I am in seclusion and ask them to come back tomorrow."
Kurobashi and Ringo nodded repeatedly.
Lu Sen then said to the Prince of Runan: "Please ask Taishan to come with me."
After saying that, Lu Sen turned and left. Yang Jinhua took a small box, sucked all the gems into it, and then followed Lu Sen.
Zhao Bilian pulled the sleeve of the Prince of Runan and said with a smile, "Daddy, follow me."
The four of them walked to the garden, then walked into the white gum trees and found a place close to the rock.
There was a strange square stone pier built here. Lu Sen kicked it, and then the pier cracked, revealing a tunnel.
Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua went down first, and then Zhao Bilian also went down, pulling the sleeve of the Prince of Runan.
It was very dark inside. Lu Sen took out a torch from the system backpack, waved it lightly, and it started burning. Then the surroundings became bright and clear.
This is a large square space. Prince Runan walked to the side and touched it, and found that the walls and the ceiling above his head were all made of stone bricks. This was not something that could be created by just digging.
"How big is this place?" Prince Runan couldn't help but ask, because he also saw that in this square space, there were three passages leading to other places, and there was also a staircase leading down.
"It's huge. We have almost hollowed out the entire hill." Lu Sen smiled and said, "We are planning to dig further down now."
The Prince of Runan was silent for a long time, then sighed, "I guess the imperial mausoleum is of this standard. Are you on guard against the emperor?"
If something really happens, Lu Sen will lead his men in here, and I guess no one will be able to force them out.
Even if fire and water attacks don't work, after all, if they can carry out such a project, it is impossible that they didn't consider the issues of fire prevention and waterproofing.
"Not only should we guard against the emperor, but also against the ministers." Lu Sen explained: "People's hearts are fickle, so it's always better to be prepared."
The Prince of Runan was somewhat touched at this moment. The fact that Lu Sen showed him this place showed that he really regarded him as a family member. It was worth his sincere efforts over the past year.
"My dear son-in-law, did you bring me here just to show me this underground residence?"
"It's just one of the reasons." Lu Sen explained: "Since Taishan sent so many gems, I naturally have to make many creations. I can't guarantee what I can get out of it. What if there is a rare treasure, the sky is shining, or colorful clouds rise up, wouldn't it tell the whole world that I have a treasure?"
What Lu Sen meant was that wealth should not be shown off. With so many gems and so many blind boxes, some real treasures can always be found.
The Prince of Runan was still a little confused at this time, but after his daughter Bilian explained, he finally understood what it meant to open a blind box. He immediately became interested: "It's a matter of luck, right? I have good luck."
In fact, not only the Prince of Runan, but also Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian were a little impatient.
Lu Sen asked Yang Jinhua to pour out the gems again, and he also poured out the other materials in his backpack, and then began to synthesize them quickly.
He was only responsible for manufacturing, while the other three were responsible for opening the boxes.
This way efficiency is greatly improved.
The boxes were made quickly and opened quickly, and although most of them were garbage, occasionally when a box was opened, something shiny would appear.
More than three hours passed. At first, Yang Jinhua and others were very excited to open the blind boxes, but by the last hour, the three of them were no longer excited.
Only occasionally when he came across a 'glowing' object would he let out a small exclamation.
If you do something too much, you will feel bored for a short time.
After using up all the gems, Lu Sen made more than 1,300 happy blind boxes.
Among them, more than 600 boxes contained stones, and the remaining 600 boxes contained physical objects of varying prices.
Among these physical objects, there are also many useless sundries. It would be a pity to throw them away, but if I don’t throw them away, they feel like they take up space.
For example... chairs, towels, and things like that.
Miscellaneous items accounted for 20% of the total, and the remaining 30% were the things that Lu Sen thought were more useful.
For example, high-year medicinal materials, such as one-hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and so on.
In addition, there are many recipe materials, and even a piece of meteorite from outer space was opened.
Lu Sen made a rough estimate and some special recipes could be made.
Synthetic materials account for 25% and the remaining 50% are the real good stuff.
Twenty-two 'exotic treasures'.
Ten of them are contract items, such as Qingqiu Woodcarving, Void Kun, Blue Slime, etc.
Five of them are special magic weapons: Swift Wind Coat, White Feather Cover, Dayan Lamp, etc.
The remaining seven items are all "magic pills".
Things like foundation-building pills, body-strengthening pills, etc.
Lu Sen was very happy to get these things, but when he looked at the system prompts, he found that the names of these pills were all red, and there was a prompt at the end: Your strength is too weak, and you will explode and die after eating them. Please improve your strength, at least until you can transform your internal energy into Gang.
The so-called internal qi turning into qi actually forms the internal qi into a circular protective shield inside the body, which exists for a long time.
This is something that only top-notch masters can do. Not to mention Lu Sen, even Zhan Zhao and Ouyang Chun haven't even touched upon it.
So things like elixirs can only be put aside for now.
As for the magic weapon, it is indeed very powerful, but it cannot be used.
It takes immortal power to drive magic weapons. Lu Sen and his friends don't even have strong internal energy, let alone immortal power.
So next, the four people's focus was placed on the ten contract wood carvings.
Except for Lu Sen, the other three each picked one.
The Prince of Runan took a wooden sculpture of a green turtle. The turtle looked quite honest, lying on the ground, and had a red scarf tied around its eyes. No one knew what it meant.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, turtles were a symbol of good fortune. As Taoism was popular, turtles were also known as "Xuanwu" at that time.
Another reason why the Prince of Runan chose a tortoise was that Lu Sen told him about the benefits of a contracted green tortoise wood carving: it would give you a twenty-year lifespan, it would not be prone to disease, and your fortune would rise.
The Prince of Runan is now almost sixty years old, and he has already realized the importance of longevity.
Compared with prolonging life, being handsome or powerful is just an illusion.
Zhao Bilian chose: Qingqiu wood carving, a white fox.
As a woman, her purpose of choosing Qingqiu was so obvious that no explanation was needed.
Yang Jinhua chose a firebird.
Phoenix, also called flamingo.
After choosing their own contract objects, the three of them made the blood contract without hesitation.
In an instant, the entire space was filled with green, red and white lights, dazzling Lu Sen's eyes and almost blinding him.
About half an hour later, Lu Sen returned to his bedroom.
The Prince of Runan had already left the low mountain, and when he left, a green turtle was lying on his head.
Lu Sen looked at it and felt so funny that he wanted to laugh.
After rubbing his hands a little, Lu Sen sat on the bed and sighed.
At this time, Yang Jinhua, who had just finished taking a shower, walked in. At the same time, a fiery red bird, whose whole body seemed to be emitting flames, landed on the window.
But the flame was not real, it was just a special effect, so it did not burn the windows.
Yang Jinhua wiped the water droplets from her hair, sat next to Lu Sen, and asked, "Sir, why don't you contract a spirit beast?"
"I don't have any favorites." Lu Sen shook his head.
In fact, the three of them had contracted with the best three spirit beasts.
The remaining contract wood carvings are all weird!
It's not that it's not powerful, but it's too weird.
Such as blue slime, little yellow chicken, courting dancing frog and so on!
He is not in a hurry to sign the contract now, and will wait until he finds a good wood carving later.
So that's it! Yang Jinhua had no doubt about it.
In her opinion, everything her husband made was amazing, except that they might look a little different.
Yang Jinhua dried her hair and was about to help Lu Sen undress and go to bed. At this moment, the door opened. Yang Jinhua looked over and said, "Bilian, why are you so late... Wait, what are you doing? Are you transforming and merging?"
There was a woman standing at the door. She looked like Zhao Bilian, but she had a pair of white fox ears on her head. She was leaning sideways with her hands on the door. Her clothes were half-undressed, revealing her curvaceous figure.
Then, a white, furry fox tail swayed gently.
She smiled coquettishly, with a natural charm.
Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua took a deep breath at the same time.
As time passed, the rhythmic noise in Lu Sen's room continued until dawn, and then it quieted down.
The Prince of Runan arrived at the palace gate early, and soon all the civil and military officials also arrived.
They looked at the green turtle lying on the official hat of the Prince of Runan, and then at the black kitten standing on Bao Zheng's shoulder, and they were extremely envious.
Master Pang took the initiative to walk to the side of the Prince of Runan County and whispered, "Prince of Runan County, can you help me say something?"
