Chapter 224 Immortal Jade
"I understand, I understand." Chen Luo's expression did not change and he responded respectfully.
"Very good. I'll give you a guest token tomorrow, along with your salary for nearly three months." Bai Hecheng nodded in approval and said.
"The head of the family, I don't know when I can perform the task?" Chen Luo asked.
"Don't worry, the clan has made arrangements and will notify you." Bai Hecheng waved his hand and said.
After Chen Luo thanked again, he said goodbye and left.
After he left, someone suddenly walked out of the study room. It was the third elder Bai Jiangfeng.
"Boss, by the rules, only a cultivator who has reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage can receive an immortal jade every three months. Chen Luo lacks both cultivation and qualifications, so it is an exception to let him serve as a guest official. Why is there still a fairy jade as his salary?" Bai Jiangfeng said in confusion.
"It's okay, the Bai family can still take this little bit of Xianyu, just treat it as giving this young man a chance. Besides, this is also the only requirement for Xiaotian to go to Huasheng Temple." Bai Hecheng smiled and said.
"The head of the family was kind, and I agree with it, but I was afraid that the children and other guests in the clan would not be convinced and would cause trouble for him at that time." Bai Jiangfeng shook his head and said.
"If you can't handle this little trouble, then my fairy jade from the Bai family and Xiaotian's good intentions will be really wasted. At that time, there will be a way to let him leave the Bai family on his own initiative." Bai Hecheng smiled and said without caring about it.
The next day, the matter of Chen Luo becoming a guest minister of the Bai family soon spread throughout the Bai Mansion.
While getting the guest token and a fairy jade, Chen Luo also moved out of Bai Xiaotian's courtyard and moved into an independent courtyard arranged by the Bai family.
The location of the small courtyard is in a dense forest near the lake in the mansion. It is more remote and farther from the front yard gate, but it is much closer to the secret room at the bottom of the lake.
However, after Chen Luo became a guest official, when he went to the secret room at the bottom of the lake, he was stopped by the old woman who was in charge and told him that he was not qualified to practice here. As a guest official, he must make contributions to the Bai Mansion and obtain the approval of the head of the family before he can use it.
Although Chen Luo was a little depressed, he didn't say much on the surface. After all, it was an exception for him to enter the secret room to practice before, and he was attracted by Bai Xiaotian's light. Now that he has accepted his new identity, he naturally has to accept a series of changes corresponding to this.
After understanding this, Chen Luo lived in the courtyard with peace of mind and continued to practice.
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
There was a continuous rain in Jianye City, the temperature dropped sharply, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in the city became more and more intense.
On this day, I got up early, but did not meditate and practice as usual, but took out the stone box that he had carefully collected.
After opening the stone box, he took out a gold ingot and a few silver notes from it and placed it aside.
Then, he carefully stretched out his fingers and slowly clamped out a round jade the size of a copper coin from it. Its color was green and a wisp of pure spiritual energy could be seen flowing inside, but it was the legendary "Immortal Jade" of the fairy money, and it was also the first guest salary he received.
According to ancient books, this immortal jade itself is a rare spiritual material. It is born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is nurtured by the earth's veins, thus forming some extremely secret underground jade veins.
After being mined by the world, the shape was formulated according to scientific rituals and refined with secret methods to make the spiritual energy contained in it condense but not disperse, which formed the "Immortal Money" that was widely circulated among immortal cultivators.
Chen Luo held the fairy jade in his hand and looked carefully, looking at him with a look of care.
He used yellow talisman paper to draw thunderfall talismans, and used up all the talisman ink, but failed to succeed. He planned to go to Lubaotang today, buy ten green frost talisman papers with this fairy jade, and try it out.
After putting away the immortal jade, he was about to close the stone box. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw a piece of metallic luster reflected in the corner of the box. Then he pushed away all the silver notes and the unknown heavenly books that were pressed on it, and then a piece of gold foil was revealed.
Chen Luo took it out, looked it carefully, and saw the runes carved on it. Then he suddenly remembered that it was taken from a metal bag full of bones when he was salvaging the nameless heavenly book on Luanshui River.
"I almost forgot that there is such a thing. I have never known what it is. Manager Ma has a lot of spiritual materials, so his vision must be not narrow. Maybe he can know what it is?" Chen Luo pondered inwardly.
After saying that, he packed up the stone box, left Bai Mansion, and headed straight for Lubao Hall.
When Chen Luo arrived at Lubaotang, he saw two people standing outside the store from afar, with their faces still familiar. They were the two entourages who followed Bai Xiaoyun last time.
He frowned, realized something vaguely, and rushed over quickly.
But before they reached the door, the two entourages came up and reached out to stop him.
"Elder Chen, the second young master is doing things inside. Why don't you come back another day?" The two of them naturally recognized Chen Luo's face and knew his identity, so they dared not act too reckless.
"It's okay, I'm just here to buy something." Chen Luo looked at the door of the store and said.
"Don't make things difficult for both of us." A entourage glanced at the guest token hanging around his waist, feeling sorry.
"Don't worry, I'm really here to buy something, and it won't hinder the second young master." Chen Luo smiled and said casually.
The two looked at each other, still hesitating.
Chen Luo's face darkened, and his body swayed, and he had already passed through the gap between the two of them, and at the same time, he waved his hand quickly.
"You..." The two of them looked shocked. Before they could say anything, their bodies softened and collapsed on the ground and fainted.
As soon as Chen Luo entered the door, he heard a sound coming from inside, which was a bit rough, unlike Bai Xiaoyun's.
"Ma Zhangguin, the master of the times is a hero. The second young master Bai is behind the famous Bai family in Jianye. Many people can't find a way to climb high branches. Don't be ignorant of the praise."
As soon as the voice fell, another young voice sounded: "Ma Laoer, I have been here again and again, can't you see my sincerity? I really like Miss Xiuxiu, why do you have to interfere?"
"Young Master Bai, you are a great family, we can't afford to stick to it. My little girl is still young and is not as old as a father. Don't force it. If the eldest master finds out, you will be punished again, right?" Ma Zhanguan's voice sounded, and the meaning of begging was obvious in his words.
"Don't try to suppress me in my brother's name! He is no longer in Jianye City. This time, who dares to take care of my son's housework." The young voice said again, his tone a little heavier.
"Second Young Master, your brother has just left for a few days, and you are impatient to come to the door again. He is so affectionate!" Shen Luo stepped across the threshold and said as he walked, his voice neither too fast nor too slow, just like saying hello to a friend.
