Chapter 191 Silver Mined Outside
The Foundation Building Pill is very useful. The system shows that this item is of 'Legendary' level and is a 'yellow' item.
Most of the swords, accessories and armor that Lu Sen usually made were "white", with only two or three pieces being green occasionally.
Even the 'white' equipment is already very useful.
In other words, although the Foundation Establishment Pill is a consumable, it is much stronger than white equipment such as swords.
It can be said that a foundation-building pill can force someone like Yang Jinhua, who has no "talent for cultivation", to reach a level where he can cultivate quickly.
But correspondingly, to refine this good thing called Foundation Establishment Pill, a great deal of medicinal materials are needed, and there are many kinds of medicinal herbs with "yellow" names.
At the same time, it can also be compared to see how valuable the medicinal materials sent by Tianjimen are.
Seeing that Lu Sen only glanced at the gifts and didn't seem to be interested, Liu Furong stroked his beard and continued, "This is just a deposit. If Master Lu is willing to hand over the demon fox to us, we will also send another batch of better herbs and treasures."
What a generous spirit... Lu Sen raised his eyebrows, looked into Liu Furong's eyes, and chuckled, "So generous, in your eyes, is this fox demon worth this price?"
"A blood feud cannot be compared to material possessions." Liu Furong sighed, "Master Lu is also a cultivator, and he knows how important it is for us to have clear thoughts. Without clear thoughts, it is difficult to make progress in cultivation and it is easy to breed demons in the heart."
To be honest, Lu Sen didn’t know what the inner demon was.
His strength was improved by relying on the experience points given by the system every day, and then he practiced Taiyi Hunyuan Gong to increase his internal strength... Oh, and there was also the bonus of the dual cultivation technique, which is why Lu Sen now has a solid basic internal strength.
As for what the inner demon is... he didn't practice martial arts like Bilian, so he didn't know.
He didn't understand what inner demons were, and he estimated that he didn't have any inner demons, but Lu Sen didn't want to hand Lu Xianxian over. What did the blood feud of Tianji Sect have to do with him?
"Inner demons." Lu Sen smiled and followed the other party's words and said, "Since Sect Leader Liu knows that inner demons are the enemy of cultivators, then why don't you consider whether I will have inner demons after handing the Qingqiu Fox to you and breaking my promise?"
“This…” Liu Furong was stunned, then said seriously: “Master Lu, what you said is right. As the most powerful cultivator at present, recognized by the world as a semi-immortal, the inner demon has no effect on you.”
Lu Sen stared at him with interest: "Master Liu, do you know that the demons will not attack practitioners like me? Or have you calculated it for me?"
Liu Furong had said before that the divination skills of their Tianji Sect could not be used on Lu Sen.
The implication of Lu Sen's words is that you, Master Liu, seem to be less powerful than me. I myself cannot say for sure that I will not be invaded by inner demons, so how can you say that?
Liu Furong was an old and experienced man. He understood what Lu Sen meant. Although he felt embarrassed, his face was still full of smiles and he smiled very warmly: "It's just a guess based on common sense."
"If it's unreasonable, then wouldn't that be a waste of my bad luck?" Lu Sen continued to ask.
Liu Furong finally stopped laughing. His expression gradually became serious: "Since Master Lu is unwilling to hand over the fox demon, then you have to think carefully. We, the Tianji Sect, will never stop fighting with the fox demon."
"Are you really going to fight to the death?" Lu Sen leaned back slightly, staring at Liu Furong's eyes with an inquiring look: "Or do you have another plan? I've heard that eating a fox's heart can equal ten years of life. If you use it to make pills, the effect will probably be even better."
Liu Furong's expression was no longer as calm as before, and he even frowned slightly: "We, the Tianji Sect, act uprightly, how could we do such a despicable thing. Killing the fox demon was just to avenge our ancestors. Master Lu, you think too much of our Tianji Sect."
"I'm sorry, I was judging you by my own standards." Lu Sen clasped his fists and bowed, smiling sincerely.
But the eyes don't seem to be very sincere, and have a rather subtle feeling.
Liu Furong snorted, stood up and said, "Master Lu, just guard this fox demon. It's best to prevent it from coming out for the rest of its life. Otherwise... let's go."
After saying that, Liu Furong and a dozen of his disciples filed out of the Bitian Pavilion and quickly left Hangzhou.
Lu Sen returned to the cave and told Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu what had just happened.
After listening to this, Lu Xianxian looked quite conflicted and sighed, "Although the human race has a short life span, this character of holding grudges is really amazing."
This happened nearly two hundred years ago, and everyone in Tianji Sect remembers it clearly.
Snow Girl…now Bai Xue curled her lips and said, “If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not been exhausted, I alone could have frozen the Tianji Sect into an iceberg, and they would not have been so arrogant.”
Lu Xianxian smiled and said, "If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not been exhausted, you would not be able to break the Tianji Sect's island protection formation."
Bai Xue looked embarrassed: "My dear sister, why are you ruining my show?"
Lu Xianxian half-covered her face with her sleeves and chuckled, "I'm used to it."
Then she said to Lu Sen: "If the matter of Tianji Sect makes you embarrassed, I can leave here."
Although she said that, there was some reluctance in Lu Xianxian's eyes.
She was not attracted to Lu Sen, but she just liked this place.
Foxes like to live in caves; it's their nature, and this is a cave, which is just what she likes.
There is enough spiritual energy here. I dare not say that it can be compared with the amount of spiritual energy three hundred years ago, but it can allow her to live comfortably.
More importantly, people here do not discriminate against her or fear her.
When she was a shikigami in the Abe family, although the Abe family worshipped her very much, they were also afraid of her and guarded against her.
Only Abe Haruaki dared to talk to her for a while, and most of the time, she was accompanied by a few female monsters.
But the fox spirit loves to be close to people...so this is very contradictory. She was not very happy during her time in Japan.
But it's different here. Lu Sen, as the head of the family, doesn't seem to have any interest in himself, while the three hostesses have good personalities, and there is also an old friend, Xue Nu, to keep him company.
Now what better place could there be out there?
Snow Girl said anxiously, "Nu Jiao, are you stupid? There is no spiritual energy outside. If you go out, aren't you looking for death?"
Lu Xianxian bit her lip and said, "But I can't let my husband get into trouble or danger."
She was well aware of how powerful the Tianji Sect was.
The way she bit her lips was really pitiful to watch. More importantly, she had no intention of seducing anyone at all. This action was completely an instinctive behavior.
The so-called beauty lies in being unaware of her own beauty!
This unawareness does not mean not knowing, but rather "not caring".
If you care too much about your beauty and always try to maintain your image and beauty, you will give people a delicate and artificial feeling.
And those women who are relaxed, dare to laugh, cry, love, hate, play and act ugly are so beautiful that people feel natural and transparent.
Lu Xianxian is like this at this moment. She is the type of person who is beautiful without realizing it.
Even a dashing woman like Yang Jinhua would pay a little attention to her image in front of Lu Sen, but Lu Xianxian didn't care about her demeanor and emotions at all.
Lu Xianxian looked like this, her red lips were slightly bulging from her own teeth, full of elasticity and luster, with an astringent smell radiating from the inside out. Seeing this, Lu Sen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: She is indeed a vixen, her every move is full of charm.
It’s just that he has no interest in it. It might be because of the protection system, or it might be because his willpower has increased a lot after reaching LV4. He has a strong resistance to Lu Xianxian’s charm.
Although I think it is beautiful, I don't have that kind of impulse.
On the contrary, it is not as interesting as looking at the three women at home.
"No need to go out. The Tianji Sect can't get in here. Just stay in my cave and don't run around." Lu Sen said slowly.
Lu Xianxian looked at Lu Sen: "Wouldn't that be a bother for you, my dear?"
"If you think it's troublesome, I won't bring you back."
Lu Sen sat on the stone bench and put down the cup in his hand. The mead in it had been drunk.
Lu Xianxian immediately came up to pour a cup for Lu Sen, and her delicate body fragrance enveloped him: "My dear, if you really want to fight against Tianji Sect, just tell me, and I will fight against the enemy side by side with you."
"That's thoughtful." Lu Sen smiled, then thought for a while and said, "It seems that something is wrong with the Tianji Sect coming here this time."
Bai Xue sat down beside him and sighed, "Something must be wrong. They are going to take Nu Jiao away."
Lu Sen shook his head: "This is just an appearance. What I mean is that Tianjimen's previous behavior may be wrong."
"before?"
Lu Xianxian and Bai Xue both felt a little strange.
After taking another sip of honey wine, Lu Sen said, "It has been two hundred years since Xianxian caused a disturbance in Tianjimen. Since twenty years old is considered a generation, there have been nearly ten generations of population changes. How can there still be such a great hatred? Normally, after three generations, people would hardly care about it anymore."
"Didn't they say that humans hold grudges?" Lu Xianxian's eyes widened. "My elders warned me when I was a child that humans are not easy to mess with. Once you mess with them, they'll be hard to shake off. My great-grandmother was so powerful, but she almost got her head chopped off."
Lu Sen shook his head helplessly: "No, short-lived races usually don't remember these blood feuds after two or three generations. On the contrary, long-lived people like you tend to remember something very well."
Hearing this, Lu Xianxian and Bai Xue both looked at Lu Sen with subtle eyes.
They felt that their husbands were saying in disguise that they were old women, but they could not find any evidence.
As for being petty, neither of them cared about it at all. Isn't it normal for women to hold grudges?
Bai Xue stared at Lu Sen in silence for a long time before asking, "My dear, what you mean is that the Tianji Sect suddenly came to look for Nujiao for a reason, not to avenge the blood feud of the past?"
"Revenging the blood feud of ancestors is more like an excuse." Lu Sen sighed: "Their target is Xianxian. At that time, I asked them if they were interested in Xianxian's fox heart. After all, eating it can extend one's lifespan by ten years. If it is used to make pills, it will probably have a more powerful effect. At that time, Sect Leader Liu's expression was not right. I even suspect that it was a 'arrangement' for Xianxian's lover to be able to enter Tianji Sect."
Xianxian subconsciously covered her left chest.
She still remembers vividly the scene when her lover stabbed her with a sword and took out her heart.
Bai Xue took a breath subconsciously: "Wait, more than two hundred years ago, the Tianji Sect was planning to take advantage of Nujiao?"
"Otherwise, it's hard to explain why a heartless man like Xianxian's lover could become a disciple of Tianji Sect and even marry the youngest junior sister of Tianji Sect after taking Xianxian's heart!" Lu Sen chuckled twice: "If I were the head of the sect and knew that the disciple I wanted to accept was a traitor who even wanted to harm his own woman, I would never let him become a disciple. Unless... such an approach can bring huge benefits. Even the fact that Xianxian could break into Tianji Sect and cause trouble later might have been their secret arrangement."
The two women looked at each other and both felt horrified.
Although they were smart, they had never thought of this possibility.
Especially Lu Xianxian, she felt goose bumps all over her body.
Seeing that both of them looked like they had seen a ghost, Lu Sen smiled and said, "Don't think too much. This is just my nonsense."
Now their expressions were slightly better, but they still looked a little unnatural.
Lu Sen stood up and said, "Tomorrow I will take Jinhua to Bianjing. You two, Bilian and Mei'er will stay at home. Unless there is something special, try not to go out, especially the two of you. There is no spiritual energy outside. If you go out for a few days, something bad will happen."
"I understand, my dear."
Lu Xianxian bowed deeply.
Bai Xue also agreed.
The next day, Lu Sen drove a flying vehicle and took Yang Jinhua back to Bian Jing.
However, the two of them did not go directly into the city, but landed in a remote place outside the city, and then dug a "small cellar" against the mountain to temporarily stay.
They waited until evening, when it was still dark and the city gates were not closed, paid the head tax and entered the city.
He stayed in Yang's house for two days before taking a sedan chair to the Prince of Runan's Mansion.
"Didn't you bring Bilian back?" asked the Prince of Runan with some displeasure.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Bilian has her own flying machine. She can come back whenever she wants. As far as I know, she comes back to visit you once a month. Taishan, are you still not satisfied?"
"How can one be content with the happiness of a father and daughter?"
Lu Sen chuckled, "Taishan, I am the only one who is more open-minded. I will let her do whatever she wants. If it were any other noble family, it would be considered good if they could come back once a year."
Lu Sen was telling the truth. As a concubine, it was a blessing not to be given away when you got tired of it, and to be able to spend your old age at home.
Not to mention that among the three women, Lu Sen actually favors Bilian the most.
"Hmph, you 're right." The Prince of Runan tutted unhappily. The father-in-law and son-in-law have a very good relationship now. They value and care for each other. They almost feel like father and son. "What's the big deal that you came here in person this time?"
"I was thinking of attending Captain Zhan's wedding." Lu Sen took out a box from the system backpack and pushed it in front of the Prince of Runan. "Also, here is 100,000 taels of silver, which I brought back from Japan a few days ago."
What!
The Prince of Runan jumped up in shock.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was not uncommon, as his family wealth was much richer than that. But if he mined the silver outside the Song Dynasty and then refined it himself, then the meaning would be different.
