72. Chapter 72: Benefits
Lu Yu was sitting in the main seat of the Yun family hall at this time, looking around from time to time, and finally looked at the Yun family father and son with a puzzled expression.
On the way to the Yun family, Lu Yu paid special attention to the surrounding mansions and found that the Yun residence was second only to the city lord's palace in Dongyang City. This made Lu Yu a little puzzled. The Yun family father and son were only three-level swordsmen and
Fifth-level monks. There should be countless people with higher realms than them in Dongyang City. How could their mansion be so large?
Yun Hexuan was an old fox who had a lot of experience in the world. He understood what Lu Yu meant when he saw Lu Yu's expression.
"Senior, I wonder if our Yun family has such a big house even though our level is not high?" Yun Hexuan smiled happily.
Lu Yu did not deny it, nodded and said: "I wonder if the Yun family master can clear up my doubts?"
"Senior, you're welcome. This is actually not a secret. If senior is a monk nearby, he would have heard of our Yun family." Yun Hexuan said with a smile.
Lu Yu didn't answer, he knew Yun Hexuan would continue talking.
"The reason why our Yun family has such a big family business is because our Yun family is the designated arms supplier of Cangyue City. The armaments of several nearby cities are provided by our Yun family." Yun Hexuan said proudly.
Lu Yu was a little surprised after hearing this, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a half-smile: "I'm afraid the words of the master are a bit exaggerated. When I rescued Young Master Ling on the road, he said that if a batch of weapons were lost, he would do it.
The reputation is ruined. If the Yun family is really as big and powerful as you say, how come they can't even bear the responsibility for the loss of a batch of weapons?"
"This..." Yun Hexuan was a little at a loss when he saw that Lu Yu had exposed his falsehood so quickly.
Yuntian next to him hurriedly said: "Senior, forgive me, but my father still refuses to face the reality that the Yun family has declined. What I said before was just about the former Yun family, and the current Yun family can hardly keep this last house.
Already."
After hearing Yun Tian's words, Yun Hexuan looked a little sad, looking like he was lost.
Lu Yu looked at the performance of the two father and son coldly. He was now somewhat interested in the two father and son. The words the other party said before were foreshadowing, and there must be a plan behind it.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Lu Yu said calmly.
"To be honest, senior, the current Yun family is just an empty shell. Originally, our Yun family had the military power of seven nearby small towns. However, in the past hundred years, the talents of the Yun family have withered, and they have been gradually cannibalized by surrounding forces.
Now, the Yun family only has the military power of Dongyang City. I hope that seniors can show mercy and help our Yun family." Yun Hexuan cried with runny nose and tears.
After hearing this, Lu Yu had a strange look on his face and said with a smile: "Does the family leader want to go to other cities and directly kill all the other families? Family leader Yun thinks too highly of Lu."
Yun Hexuan quickly shook his head and said: "How dare you let me do this? Even if we can do it, killing all those families will not help."
"Oh? What does Master Yun mean by this?" Lu Yu asked in surprise.
"This armament rights are not fought for by each family. Instead, Cangyue City directly designates which families will take over the armament rights." Yun Hexuan explained.
"How does Cangyue City decide who owns the armament rights of these cities?" Lu Yu then asked.
"Cangyue City will hold a weapon refining competition among aristocratic families every hundred years. As long as you can enter the top one thousand, you can get the armaments of one city, the top five hundred can get the armaments of eight cities, and the top 100 can get the armaments of seventeen cities.
The top ten can obtain the armaments of a hundred cities." Yun Hexuan explained.
Lu Yu heard that it was a weapon refining competition and was a little curious. This was the first time he heard about a weapon refining competition.
"This is the first time I have heard of this weapon refining competition. Why should such a competition be held? Lu Yu asked with interest.
Yun Hexuan saw that Lu Yu was a little moved, and his face was full of joy, and explained: "Senior also went to Fangshi just now, and he should also know that our finished weapons and elixirs in Broken Star Lake are more expensive than those on other planets.
Several times. The seniors must have understood the reason. Every hundred years, Cangyue City holds a competition for refining weapons and elixirs, with only one purpose. It is to stimulate various aristocratic families and cultivate more refining skills.
We need the genius of weapons and alchemy to alleviate the scarcity of finished weapons and elixirs in Broken Star Lake."
Lu Yu didn't care too much about the content of the weapon refining competition. With the mysterious ring he owned, he was sure of success in any competition. What he cared more about was why Yun Hexuan believed that he would help the Yun family.
Lu Yu thought of this, touched his nose, and asked with a smile: "How can you be sure that I will definitely help you?"
Seeing that Lu Yu finally took the bait, Yun Hexuan said calmly: "The old man can offer two seniors a benefit that they cannot refuse."
"Oh, tell me." Lu Yu said with some interest.
Yun Hexuan paced the hall and said in a leisurely manner: "The first benefit is naturally related to weapon refining. I wonder if seniors know about the "Holy Steps"."
When Lu Yu heard this, he thought of the Blood River Sword that had self-destructed. He nodded slightly to indicate that he knew.
"Our Yun family was one of the top weapon refiners in Broken Star Lake more than 10,000 years ago. We also have a fragment of a scroll handed down from ancient times about refining holy weapons. However, the text on this fragment is ancient text. Now
It has long been lost. It took our clan more than a thousand years to decipher one third of this fragment. However, even this one third can be used to refine multiple holy weapons." Yun Hexuan explained.
road.
Lu Yu was overjoyed after hearing this. When he accepted the inheritance of Tianjizi at that time. Since "Tianjisuan" was written in ancient characters, Lu Yu's inheritance also included ancient characters. If the jade slips mentioned by Yun Hexuan are true
Yes, then it shouldn’t be a problem for me to understand this jade slip.
Although Lu Yu thought so in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, making it difficult to tell the difference. After a moment, Lu Yu slowly shook his head and said with a troubled look: "Although this holy weapon is magical, it is
It’s not easy to refine it. I don’t think your Yun family has refined a few of them.”
Yun Hexuan also had a bitter look on his face after hearing this. In the past ten thousand years, the Yun family has only refined a total of eight holy weapons, and they are all first-class swords.
"Although it is impossible to truly refine a holy-level weapon, these ancient books still have a lot to learn from when it comes to weapon refining." Yun Hexuan said quickly.
Lu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know this. You should first tell me what the second benefit is."
"The second benefit is about the teleportation array. I learned from Xiao'er that Senior Lu wants to borrow the teleportation array to go to Cangyue City. However, this teleportation array is not so easy to borrow. As far as I know, it is the city lord here who can only use the teleportation array for a hundred years.
Use this teleportation array once. Therefore, this teleportation array has always been regarded as the city lord's escape route." Yun Hexuan said confidently. He believed that Lu Yu could not refuse this condition no matter what.
Lu Yu did not answer Yun Hexuan, but glanced in a certain direction of the hall and said coldly: "Since the city lord is here, why do you need to hide?"
Suddenly, a blue light flashed in the hall, and a middle-aged man wearing Taoist robes appeared in front of the three of them.
"You are really the Lord of the City!" Yuntian blurted out.
This burly middle-aged man is none other than Ping Chong, the lord of Dongyang City.
"This is the first time I have discovered Taoist friendliness among fellow Taoists of the same level." Ping Chong said with a hearty smile. He ignored the Yun family father and son at all.
"I'm just lucky. I wonder if the city lord can ask Lu for advice?" Lu Yu said with a smile.
Ping Chong found a seat at random and said carelessly: "I originally wanted to discuss something with fellow Taoist. However, when I first came here, I accidentally heard Old Man Yun talking about the teleportation array. This teleportation array is easy to talk about, as long as
Brother Lu is willing to help me with something, I will definitely lend him this teleportation array."
When Yun Hexuan heard this, he almost spit out blood and quickly tried to explain.
Seeing this, Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling Yun Hexuan not to speak yet.
"City Lord, if you have any questions, please tell me first. Then, I will consider whether I can help you." Lu Yu said calmly.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask Brother Lu to join forces with me to kill the lord of Wucheng." Ping Chong said nonchalantly.
Lu Yu was slightly startled after hearing this, but he was not too surprised. It should be normal for Shattering Star Lake to fight for years and assassinate the city lord.
"What is the cultivation level of this Wucheng city lord?" Lu Yu asked lightly.
"Same as you and me." Pingchong said without thinking.
Lu Yu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to Ping Chong: "If I don't need the teleportation array, what would the city lord be willing to give in exchange?"
Ping Chong was stunned, not expecting Lu Yu to say such a thing. But after taking a look at the Yun family and his son, he immediately understood the meaning of Lu Yu's words.
Ping Chong didn't care and said with a smile: "I don't know what you want. I am conceited and have some wealth, so I should be able to satisfy you."
Lu Yu smiled and said: "I want the materials for the Triple Pill. I wonder if fellow Taoist friends have it?"
Ping Chong was stunned, but he didn't expect Lu Yu to tell him what he originally wanted to exchange.
"Fellow Taoist, you are really lucky. I happen to have a few Suxincao plants here that are eight hundred years old." Ping Chong said with a smile. Then he turned his hand and raised it, and three Suxincao plants appeared in his hand.
When Lu Yu saw this, he was not too happy. Instead, he frowned slightly and said, "This seems a bit insufficient. The Tribute Pill needs Su Xin Cao that has been heated for thousands of years. Although the eight hundred years is only two hundred years different from the thousand years, the market price is still different.
Five or six times more.”
When Ping Chong heard this, he hesitated for a moment and took out three more Su Xin Cao from the storage bag.
"Fellow Taoist, this is all we have. If you are still not satisfied, I will have to find someone else." Ping Chong said calmly.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, but did not take over the Suxincao. He said hesitantly: "Fellow Taoist, let me think about it. These elixirs and the teleportation array are equally important to me. I can't make a decision at the moment."
After speaking, a look of hesitation appeared on Lu Yu's face, as if he was weighing whether to choose Su Xin Cao or the Teleportation Formation.
Seeing this, Yun Hexuan lost his temper, and regardless of the fact that the city lord was still around, he walked to Lu Yu and said, "Senior, you can think about it carefully. My thing will be of great benefit to your future weapon refining.
of."
After hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes were a little moved, and he hesitated: "How about you take me to have a look first, and then decide what to choose? I don't know what I want to do?"
"Okay! I'll take senior to see it right now." Yun Hexuan agreed without thinking.
