"Dad, even if he is a direct disciple, he doesn't need your respect, right?" Lu Hou complained to Lu Qian after leaving the inn.

"What do you know, kid? Do you know what it is like to be a direct descendant? Even if you have no merit, the family can push you to the top. If your qualifications are too poor and you are like a pig, the family can use resources to pile you up."

After the age of forty, no one in the direct line is less than innate. As long as you have a little bit of qualifications, you can easily become the lord of a city when you are innate, not to mention that most of the direct lineage have very high qualifications." Lu Qian

Seeing his son's expression of dissatisfaction, he said

Seeing that his son was still a little puzzled, he continued: "Your grandpa is getting older. He has been taking care of the affairs of the city these years. Although you and I are assisting him, there are always some things that disturb him. But your grandpa wants to

If you go into seclusion, you will no longer be able to serve as the city lord. At that time, the master’s family will definitely send a direct disciple to take charge of Hongtai City. We must now make good friends with the direct disciples of each family."

After hearing this, Marquis Lu nodded to express his understanding, but then said: "Why not let the Second Grandpa be the city lord? The Second Grandpa is also a strong man in the Golden Core Realm?"

"Because our family has been running Hongtai City for too long. If your grandfather had been the city lord, the master would not say anything. But if your grandpa stopped, the master would definitely not let our family do it." Lu Qian's eyes were deep.

flashed and said

In the afternoon, Lu Ziyu found Taibai Restaurant on the largest street in Hongtai City. Anyway, Lu Qian already knew that he was coming here, and his family should know about it soon. It would be okay to come to Taibai Restaurant now.

Taibai Restaurant is four stories high. Lu Ziyu went in and showed his token, and the shopkeeper came out quickly. The shopkeeper here looked very old, with silver hair and a stooped back, but Lu Ziyu was surprised to find that the shopkeeper turned out to be

In the innate realm, when will you be able to recruit innate masters?

"Little old man Lu Si has met the young master." The shopkeeper came up and bowed.

"Take us to a quiet place." Lu Ziyu was a little surprised when he heard the name of the shopkeeper. This old man should have been a guard.

"Sir, come with me." The shopkeeper leaned forward to lead the way.

All the way up to the fourth floor, this place seems to be specially reserved for special guests. The entire floor is magnificently decorated, and various elegant paintings and calligraphy are displayed everywhere.

"Sir, few people come here, what are your orders?" the shopkeeper asked after bringing the three people in and sitting down.

"Are you a guard?" Lu Ziyu asked directly

"Yes, the little old man is getting old, and the island owner allowed me to go home for retirement. Later, I heard that Hongtai City was looking for a shopkeeper. It happened that the little old man's hometown was also in Hongtai City, so I went to look for him. It was expensive."

The shopkeeper replied

"Oh, is there anyone else in your family?" Lu Ziyu asked doubtfully. You must know that guards are trained from orphans. How does this old man know where his hometown is?

"No more. When I was a child, everyone in my family got sick and died, and I was the only one. Finally, I was sent to a nursing home. At that time, I could already remember things, so I knew my hometown. But because there was no one at home, I took this place.

Just doing errands can be considered as a way to support one's retirement." The shopkeeper said with emotion on his face.

Lu Ziyu didn't ask any more questions at this point, and said to the shopkeeper: "Serve us some food and drinks. You tell the people below to do it. I have something to ask you while you stay."

The shopkeeper went out to give instructions to the waiter who had just followed him, and then returned to his previous position.

Lu Ziyu saw the shopkeeper coming back and said: "We entered the city yesterday and saw a lot of people entering the city. Today there are many people in the streets and restaurants. They don't seem to be from here, and most of them are young people. What's going on?

?”

"Going back to the Young Master, these people are here to participate in the Opening of the Sea Festival. At this time of year, people come to participate in the Opening of the Sea Festival." The shopkeeper said.

"Sea Opening Festival, what kind of festival is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Lu Ziyu asked curiously.

"The Opening of the Sea Festival is exclusive to Hongtai City. It seems to have been around for almost a hundred years. At that time, anyone could participate in the Opening of the Sea Festival. In the last year, there were fewer and fewer people. Only young people were interested in participating.

In the end, it gradually evolved into a festival for young children from various families and forces within Hongtai City to compete. Every year, the elders of each family bring young children to participate in the competition. In the end, the city lord also participated and provided rewards to the top three in the competition.

, since then more people have participated." The shopkeeper said it again from the beginning.

Is this a sports meeting? The city lord is also interested in giving a small reward to the first three. But so many people come every year. How much revenue does this add to the city? The city's income is high. The taxes collected by his city lord

There are more.

It seems that he still has to pay a visit to the city lord, Grandpa. He has already been informed about it, so he has no choice but to go, otherwise he will be scolded if Grandpa finds out.

After asking about the matter, I asked the shopkeeper to bring all the bamboo leaves. This time there were a lot, hundreds of jars. The shopkeeper said yes, Gui had sent a lot of bamboo leaves to every Taibai restaurant half a year ago, and he was just waiting for Lu Ziyu to come and get them. Lu Ziyu

The storage bag could not hold so much, so Qin Fang and Wang Wu packed it separately. This time Qin Fang did not feel bad about the storage bag. Since Qin Wu got the storage bag, he has kept it very well and generally does not put messy things.

, sometimes Lu Ziyu refuses to borrow or borrow anything.

After getting off the restaurant and coming to the street, Lu Ziyu originally wanted to take a stroll, but so many people came to Hongtai City all of a sudden. Most of them were young people and they were very angry, so there were shouts, curses, fights, and shouts everywhere.

, the whole Hongtai City is in a mess.

Because of this situation, Lu Ziyu didn't go shopping much. He just found a few pharmacies and bought a lot of medicinal materials. However, there were several accidents on the way. Although the city was in chaos, not many people actually took action.

, so for several things they encountered, as soon as Qin Fang lost his momentum, the other party immediately apologized and left.

I originally wanted to go shopping and buy some gifts to visit Grandpa Hong tomorrow morning, but seeing the chaos on the street, I was too lazy to go. I just picked a few items from the storage bag as gifts tomorrow.

It was already evening when I returned to the inn for dinner. I asked for a bucket from the inn to prepare for a medicinal bath at night. This time, together with the medicine I bought and the medicine I brought back from the village, I already had a lot. I wanted to do something serious this time, see if I can

We can't let "Immortal Body" get any bigger tonight.

The potion in the bathtub was steaming, and Wang Wu next to him was adding medicinal ingredients one by one. Lu Ziyu was lying in the bathtub in a very strange posture, with blue veins all over his body, and a worm-like squirt under his skin.

His butt was moving through. Lu Ziyu's whole body was red, his eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched.

When the potion in the bathtub gradually became clear, Lu Ziyu jumped out of the bathtub. Wang Wu next to him had already handed over the clothes. Lu Ziyu quickly put on his clothes and started the "Immortal Body" chapter on the spot.

Second floor.

Lu Ziyu was doing different movements. His chest would rise and fall for a while. At the same time, his body was making strange movements one after another. Each movement was an unimaginable position change. In the end, he did it faster and faster, and his whole body made a collapsing sound.

, just like fried beans.

Lu Ziyu practiced until late at night, and stopped when he remembered the sound of loud bones. He looked at his body and felt a little helpless, wondering if his mother would disown me when I go home if I continue like this.

I took another shower to wash away all the dirt on my body, and then went back to my room to sleep. I didn’t practice any Qi either. I broke through the middle stage of "Immortal Body" in this medicinal bath. I won’t be able to break through like this in the future. I have to accumulate it slowly.

Chapter completed!
