Lu Qingyuan has good talent and has a foundation in martial arts. She practiced Kung Fu based on Shuixuan Zhenqi and reached a level close to the "Xuan Yin Secret" in just five days.

"It seems that it will not be difficult for her to enter the fetal breath on the tenth day."

When Ren Hong thought about it, Lu Qingyuan was about to enter the realm of an innate warrior. It was natural for her to teach the immortal method herself and enter the innate realm. However, she did not expect that her progress would be so fast.

"Look at it this way, I'm going to give her an initiation gift."

If Lu Qingyuan can really take charge of Ziyang Cave and become an ally of Kunlun, then her attitude can influence many people in Kunlun and be of great help to Ren Hong in taking charge of Lianhuashan Villa.

Ren Hong whispered to himself: "The most suitable magic weapon for her is the Star Treasure. But among many magic weapons, the price of the Star Magic Artifact has always been high. And even if she enters the realm of fetal breath, she doesn't have much magic power...

…”

Fairy Spirit: "Let me see, you can just get her a magical storage device."

"Whatever? That can't be done..." Ren Hong rubbed the Xuanwu Ring on his finger: "How can a magical weapon that can be replaced casually be worth a few favors? If you practice successfully later, the magical weapon will be thrown away. It's better to find it.

A magic weapon similar to my white jade Ruyi has great potential and can be promoted to a magic weapon. In this way, when she uses this magic weapon in the future, she will remember my initial grace for entering the Tao. In this way...favors are useful."

"It's difficult to arrange the price, and it's also difficult to find a suitable magic weapon."

"Not only is it a magical weapon with high potential, I also plan to help her refine it myself." Ren Hong was able to deduce the Mysterious Forbidden Rules on his own. The only thing missing was the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Closing his eyes, he calculated using Tianyan arithmetic. After three calculations of Dayan, Ren Hong found some clues.

The materials suitable for Lu Qingyuan's magical instruments should start with Li Fan.

Looking at the sky, Ren Hong went to Li's house to look for Li Fan just after midnight.

It happened that Li Fan was in a depressed mood and sneaked out of the house to drink wine. When he saw Ren Hong coming, he immediately patted his chest and responded.

"The Immortal wants to choose jade embryo materials? Don't worry, leave this matter to me!" Li Fan: "I know Donggao City well."

With that said, he took Ren Hong to the most famous Yuqing Hutong in the city.

"Hey, Ren Hong, why don't you ask about his marriage to Zhang Qinglan? That founding disciple is your successor."

"Why should I worry about other people's affairs? Let everything take its course. If you are really destined to me, you will join my family."

But Ren Hong didn't ask, and Li Fan instead asked him for advice: "The Immortal is proficient in the art of immortality. Can you help me calculate my marriage?"

"Marriage? Why are you interested in this?" Ren Hong smiled half-heartedly: "I thought that based on your personality, you would have to play for a few more years."

"My parents can't bear it anymore. In the past two days, my mother has invited a statue of Bodhisattva to beg the third generation of my family."

"She doesn't even want to think about it," Li Fan complained to Ren Hong: "If I create a few bastards now, and wait for the main wife to come in, isn't that a slap in the face?"

Ren Hong showed his approval. If he really got married to Zhang Qinglan, wouldn't it be a disaster to others?

He thought about it for a while and seemed to have some understanding: "Your mother is not an ungrateful person. Could it be that she has already begun to look for a wife for you?"

"I've found it, and my father..." Li Fan sighed and stopped talking, looking gloomy.

The Li family was originally a family of officials, but due to the chaos among the kings in the imperial court, they deliberately avoided trouble. Now that the situation has been decided, and the new emperor is gradually taking the throne, the Li family should consider how to run the family business and return to the imperial court.

Mr. Li was self-aware and knew that his career as an official was at an end. His second son had neither knowledge nor skills, and had not even passed the imperial examination, let alone passed the examination. His hope was for his younger son, who wanted to re-enter the court as an official and revitalize the Li family.

The Zhang family claimed that Yuan's three-year period of filial piety had expired and he was preparing to return to the capital to serve as an official. But when he returned to the officialdom, what rank of official should he be? Should he be a capital official or a foreign official? This was very particular.

Although Zhang Yuan's brother-in-law is currently the prime minister of the court, he is also a direct descendant of the emperor, and Jane is in the emperor's heart, but who doesn't want to make progress?

At this time, Zhang Yuan took a fancy to the political resources left by Li Fan's grandfather.

At that time, the Li family was implicated, and except for the youngest son's family who escaped, several other families were wiped out. However, Li Fan's grandfather's students and some relatives and friends are now in high positions and can provide help for Zhang Yuan's return to the court.

With the marriage between the Li family and the Zhang family, one can use the in-laws' power to form a shelter and wait for his younger son to grow up and re-enter the court. The other can use the in-laws' connections in the past to lay the groundwork for his entry into the capital.

The two hit it off instantly.

Moreover, this is not the decision of the two wives, but the plan of the two masters. When the two heads of family have discussed it properly, not to mention the two parties involved, even the wives of the two families will not object.

Moreover, Li's mother is quite satisfied with Zhang Qinglan and has already planned to arrange the marriage. As for the so-called invitation to the Bodhisattva statue, it is also a plan for Li Fan and Zhang Qinglan. The two families plan to have three matchmakers and six betrothals this year, and wait for the bride to be officially married next year

When the time comes, I will give birth to a fat grandson, so that the second son can have a good career and inherit the family business, while the younger son will be supported by the Zhang family and become an official.

Ren Hong went over these things in his mind and understood Li Fan's depression.

This is similar to my own situation back then, when I faced a noble daughter from an official family as a businessman. Moreover, this daughter had another purpose in marrying and was not really interested in me. The couple's life would definitely not be smooth in the future.

After thinking for a while, Ren Hong said: "My government does not prohibit the son of a businessman from becoming an official. It is not too late for you to learn now. People in their seventies can still obtain fame, can't you? If you take the exam, at least your in-law family will not look down on you in the future.

you."

"Reading is easier said than done." Li Fan said: "When I look at poetry books, it's like reading a book from heaven. I feel dizzy and can't learn at all."

"Then donate an official position, or else take the military honors? It's best to work in the border areas."

Who is a good man who doesn't yearn to defend his family and country and fight in all directions? Li Fan also showed some yearning in his eyes, but then he shook his head repeatedly and objected: "I don't have the power to restrain a chicken, so I go to the border to fight with barbarians. Isn't that asking for death? No way.

, it doesn’t work…”

"You don't have it, it doesn't mean that I don't have it." Although Ren Hong doesn't agree with Li Fan and Zhang Qinglan's marriage, he doesn't have much ill feelings towards Li Fan.

Ren Hong saw a lot of himself in him.

He was born a businessman and came from a wealthy family, but he took medicine, skipped classes, and lived a rough life. If he had grown up according to the life trajectory of an ordinary person, he might have been like Li Fan, right?

Of course, I am definitely smarter than Li Fan, and I am not a big deal for a mere scholar. With my face, if I can participate in the palace examination, I will definitely be called "the most beautiful girl".

Ren Hong said with a smile: "If you really plan to make great achievements, I can help you. Let you cultivate your internal strength and become an innate warrior. Then you can make some achievements on the frontier, let your family run a bit, and find an official position."

That’s all for the job.”

Li Fan was a little moved when he heard this, but he had already arrived at Yuchen Hutong. He remembered the purpose of his trip and pointed to a Yuchen stone statue at the entrance of the alley.

"Immortal Chang, this is it. It is said that this jade palace was left by a certain immortal a hundred years ago. Later, we always called this place Yuqing Hutong. The whole street of this alley is selling jade. I remember there is a gambling house at the end.

Jade."

Ren Hong glanced at the stone statue, shook his head and said, "It's just an ordinary thing."

Then he walked into the alley, closed his eyes and covered the entire alley with his spiritual consciousness, and used the technique of Tian Yan to calculate.

However, since spiritual objects are obscured, there is something extraordinary about the fact that this precious jade left in the human world could not be noticed by the monks. After Ren Hong's calculations, there was still no result, so he could only send Li Fan to lead the way and let Li Fan hit the opportunity.

After looking for several shops one after another, Ren Hong was not satisfied. Finally, Li Fan took Ren Hong to "Dongyuanzhai".

"Dong Yuan Zhai, this is a shop owned by the Wang family, and there are many wealthy families in the city." Li Fan said, "His shopkeeper was a celebrity in the jade carving business back then. Later, he was hired by the Wang family at a high price to be their shopkeeper. But this time

The old gentleman has a weird temper, so please be patient."

"Yeah, I know."

Ren Hong walked into Dongyuanzhai and suddenly noticed a vague aura.

Looking left and right, there are many exquisite jade articles placed on various shelves in the hall, and each one is expensive.

Of course, this so-called price is just mortal gold and silver, and Ren Hong doesn't care about it.

When he was a child, his family was wealthy and he never worried about money. Although he did not play gold beads or sprinkle gold leaves, his family owned two jade shops and he was accustomed to seeing beautiful objects since he was a child.

only

Looking at the jade unicorn on the center shelf, Ren Hong looked a little strange.

Looks familiar... This thing looks a bit familiar...

"Li Fan, is this jade unicorn the treasure of Dongyuan Zhai?"

"Well, it seems that they were obtained from another jade shop. I remember it was Hongyu No.? Something happened to the owner of that jade shop, and then the shopkeeper sold these things and ran away with the money."

"Haha..." Ren Hong sneered a few times, but then there was a hint of sadness on his face.

Yes, if something happens in Lingyang County, of course your own properties will suffer as well. Needless to say, the properties within Lingyang County will also be buried with the earthquake. But the shops outside Lingyang County will all be destroyed.

Is it cheaper elsewhere?

Ren Hong was staring at the jade unicorn. When the store manager saw it, he took a few steps forward and said, "Sir, I'm sorry. This jade unicorn has been reserved by other customers. It's just because of the pleading of my shopkeeper that it can be placed in the store again."

Leave it for three days."

Li Fan blurted out: "Sold? Doesn't your shopkeeper like this jade unicorn very much?"

"That's right. The shopkeeper spent a lot of money to bring it from another family. It was said to be a mythical beast that suppresses wealth. But it couldn't stand up to our boss's favor, so he sold it to someone else at a fair price. Even if the shopkeeper is dissatisfied, he doesn't dare to get angry with his boss."

Wang family?

Ren Hong's eyebrows moved and he temporarily stopped thinking about taking back the jade unicorn.

No matter what, it’s all God’s will. Since you are already living abroad, so be it!

Seemingly to lighten his mood, he asked Li Fan: "Speaking of which, there is the Zhang family, the Wang family, and your Li family in the city. Is there also a Zhao family?"

Li Fan: "Hey, how does the immortal know? The parent official in the government office is named Zhao."

Zhang, Wang and Li Zhao are all here now.

"Just asking." Ren Hong then ordered the stewards to take out all the raw jade in the store.

"The guest wants jade? Do you want to hire someone to carve it yourself? To be honest, my shopkeeper's craftsmanship is the best in Dongyu City."

"No need, I have my own plan."

The manager was not upset, and took the roster and continued: "I am not boasting, but my family's jade mines are located in all counties across the country. I have three jade mines, and the jade produced are all of the highest quality. In addition, I also operate five jade mines on behalf of the government.
To be continued...
