Chapter 214 The Mystery of the Gold Mine
Chapter 214 The Mystery of the Gold Mine
Under Lu Chen's friendly threat, Manager Jin was forced to bring Lu Chen to the base camp of "Changshengku", which was also the residence of their master.
The master is like a god in Manager Jin's heart. He has seen the master create fire out of thin air to deal with some traitors. His methods are truly miraculous.
So in his opinion, even if Lu Chen was very skilled, with his master's strength, he could easily kill him.
At this time, four strong men carrying a stretcher walked into the hall.
There was a recliner tied to the stretcher, and lying on the recliner was an old man in his sixties.
The old man wore a sutra on his head and a green robe. His eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was enjoying himself. He glanced lazily at Lu Chen and Manager Jin.
Seeing that Lu Chen was just an ordinary person, no one took it seriously.
The old man slowly stood up and sat on the host seat in front of the hall. The four strong men put the stretcher aside.
Then he stood on both sides of the old man, acting as bodyguards.
"Welcome to our Lord. May our Lord live forever, rule the world for thousands of years!" Manager Jin knelt on the ground respectfully and chanted loudly.
"Puchi... Hehe..." Lu Chen, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing what Manager Jin said.
He could tell at a glance that the owner of this "Eternal Life Storehouse" was actually a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. He was shocked and amused at the same time.
As a cultivator, instead of working hard to improve his cultivation, he actually hangs out with a bunch of mortals and acts so arrogantly.
What are you talking about, longevity, eternal generations, unifying the martial arts world? Do you really think you are the Invincible East?
"How dare you! Kneel down when you see the master!" one of the big men scolded.
"Manager Jin! Get up! This is what you said in the codeword, about causing trouble in Changsheng Casino.
And you are a boy with great martial arts skills, and you want me to help you deal with him?" The master said calmly, neither sad nor happy.
"I am incompetent, please help me, my lord." Manager Jin said, and then looked at Lu Chen with a gloating expression.
He thought that before entering the room, he used hand gestures and secret codes to convey the message to Lu Chen without his knowledge, but in fact, Lu Chen was simply too lazy to pay attention.
Now that we have discovered that the other party is also a cultivator, things have become simpler.
"Hehehe... old man! You are a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. You don't want to practice cultivation and just wander around in the mortal world. Aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?" Lu Chen smiled faintly and said something irrelevant.
"Puff..." Upon hearing this, the master was suddenly shocked and spat out the tea he had just drunk.
The master was shocked and stared at Lu Chen intently.
Apart from Lu Chen's harmless face, nothing was found.
Then he thought of a possibility, and quickly knelt at Lu Chen's feet, trembling.
This scene left his bodyguards and Manager Jin stunned.
How come the master, who usually is high and mighty, becomes so afraid of this young man after hearing his words?
“Senior… please spare my life. I am Zhu Daoming, and I know myself…” The master tremblingly told his origins like spitting out beans.
He had just used his spiritual sense to check Lu Chen's cultivation level, but found nothing. However, the other party revealed his own cultivation level in one sentence. You know, this is his biggest secret.
At the same time, it also shows that the other party's cultivation is definitely higher than his own, and he knows the cruelty of the world of cultivation very well.
Low-level monks are worse than dogs. If they disagree with each other, they may be killed by the other party.
Therefore, Zhu Daoming did not dare to be arrogant, and did not care about the presence of his subordinates. He immediately knelt down in front of Lu Chen in fear, hoping to ask for his forgiveness.
Zhu Daoming was originally an ordinary man in the Central Plains. Because his ancestors made their fortune by robbing tombs, Zhu Daoming learned the skills of tomb robbing.
Once, when he was robbing an ancient tomb, he accidentally discovered a cave for cultivation, which contained many elixirs, jade slips, and books on Qi-inducing cultivation.
He knew about the legends about immortal cultivators, so he tried to practice. As a result, he actually succeeded in sensing the existence of spiritual energy, which proved that he had spiritual roots.
At the same time, with the help of the elixirs in the cave, he broke through to the initial stage of foundation building in less than three years. This made him very excited and he yearned to live a fairy-like life.
However, when he entered the world of cultivation, he was faced with the situation where cultivators fought and killed each other for a little bit of resources.
Low-level cultivators are worse than dogs, and they will kill each other if they disagree with them.
The martial arts that Zhu Daoming practiced made him best at hiding and escaping.
If he hadn't managed to escape by luck with his miraculous body skills, he would have died countless times.
After decades of twists and turns, Zhu Daoming discovered that his aptitude for cultivation was extremely poor.
As a result, apart from the previous breakthrough to the initial stage of foundation building, there has been no further breakthrough since then.
Thinking that I don't have many years left to live,
Zhu Daoming went to Yunluo City, a remote mortal city, to establish the "Changshengku" and develop other industries at the same time.
As for the punishment from heaven, although he knew about it, he didn't care too much and had the mentality of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
From then on, he lived a decadent life of debauchery and extravagance, and could be considered to be enjoying his old age.
Lu Chen was also very sad when he heard this, but since the other party involved his father, how could Lu Chen let him go?
Lu Chen's eyes suddenly focused, and a powerful aura emerged from his body.
Zhu Daoming's four bodyguards and Manager Jin fainted instantly.
Zhu Daoming was so frightened that he felt Lu Chen's powerful aura and was certain that the other party's cultivation was very strong.
In order to save his life, Zhu Daoming desperately shouted: "Senior, please spare my life. I found a treasure trove that contains rare treasures from heaven and earth."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen retracted his momentum and asked, "Oh? What kind of natural treasure is it?"
"A year ago, my men received a gold mine. After mining, they found that the rock at the bottom of the gold mine was extremely hard and could not be shaken by human power.
I was curious at the time and went to check, but found that even with my cultivation level, I couldn't shake it.
Because I was not well-informed, I did not know what the rock was.
But I guess there must be some incredible treasure inside that rock, so please spare my life, I am willing to be your dog and do whatever you want me to do."
After Zhu Daoming finished speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground, waiting for Lu Chen's decision.
When Lu Chen heard this, he was stunned. It seemed that this was referring to the gold mine that his father bought. He didn't expect that there was another mystery in it.
Lu Chen was also moved by Zhu Daoming's proposal. He was about to leave.
It would be a good choice if he could help take care of my parents.
"Okay! Get up! Take me to the gold mine you mentioned." Lu Chen said lightly.
"Hehehe... Thank you for sparing my life, senior. Thank you for sparing my life. Please follow me." Zhu Daoming kowtowed and expressed his gratitude as if he had been pardoned.
Then the two of them took a carriage, driven by Zhu Daoming, and headed out of Yunluo City.
When the carriage reached the outskirts of the city, the two men used their skills, leaving two afterimages on the spot...
