"Inspector, is it a small matter?"
Shen Luo was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was full of doubts, and he said in confusion:
"May I ask, Master, what kind of trivial matter is it that requires a disciple to handle it as an inspector?"
"It's nothing, I just want you to go to the secular world and protect some mortals!"
Hearing this, Shen Luo became even more puzzled. They were just mortals, so why don't they just let those disciples in the Qi refining stage go?
Why bother with him, a monk in the foundation building stage? Besides, what kind of danger could a mortal be in? He needs the protection of an immortal cultivator like him.
Uncle Li looked at Shen Luo and knew what he was thinking at the moment, so he half-explained and half-narrated: "The mortals I asked you to protect are my mortal family in the secular world. Ever since I successfully formed the elixir, I have been supporting them secretly. , and has made them rich and prosperous to this day, lasting for several generations.”
Speaking of this, Master Uncle Li paused for a moment, with a flash of recollection of the past in his eyes, but then his expression calmed down and he continued: "I got news a few days ago that the Demon Sect may send some low-level disciples to blend into the secular world. Although I don’t know what their intentions are towards mortals, but I need someone I can trust to protect them.”
Hearing this, Shen Luo also understood that Uncle Li was using his status as an immortal cultivator to start a small business for his mortal family in the secular world.
"So I will write a letter to the current head of the Li family to explain your identity. He is the only person who knows my true identity. In addition, I have said hello to the people from Yuxu Palace. You can go and get it over there. Just the inspector's token will be enough. This jade slip contains the detailed information of the family. Take it back and have a look. If there are no problems, we will set off within seven days!" Uncle Li threw out a jade slip and said to him.
Shen Luo did not dare to disobey Master Uncle Li's instructions. He quickly stood up and replied respectfully: "Yes!"
Seeing this, Master Li nodded with satisfaction, "Also, Master, I am not the kind of person who would let you run in vain. As long as you complete this task satisfactorily, this elixir will be yours." "
Looking at the medicine that Uncle Li took out, Shen Luo took a closer look and saw that the pill that the other party took out was actually the Dust Falling Pill!
Dust Falling Pill is an amplifying pill used by Dzogchen monks in the later stages of foundation building to break through the bottleneck of pill formation. He currently only has two pills of this pill.
These two pills were looted from the storage bags of Zhou Yuan and Fairy Yunmeng.
As for the elixir brought by the owner of the tomb, because the elixir had been stored for too long, the medicinal power in it had long evaporated.
Master Li was so willing to take out the Dust-falling Pill. He seemed to attach great importance to this task, he thought.
After leaving Master Li's cave, Shen Luo drove the flying boat back to his cave. Then he took out the talisman materials he purchased from his storage bag and started painting.
…
On the seventh day, several feet high in the sky a hundred miles away from Taiqing Gate, Shen Luo on the flying boat was driving the flying boat at full speed.
His target is Lingnan City in Pingzhou, Zhao State, where Master Li's family is located in the secular world.
Lingnan City is the largest and most prosperous capital city in Pingzhou, Zhao State. It is connected in all directions and is nicknamed second only to Little Kyoto.
But in such an urban area, the land inside is naturally very expensive. After all, the people living in this "little Kyoto" are themselves a symbol of status and power.
The entire Lingnan City was artificially divided into four areas: east, west, south and north. Most of the people living here in Beicheng District were princes, generals and the like who were taking care of themselves.
The corresponding Nancheng District is the residence of the city lord's palace and the officials and nobles who live in the city.
In Lingnan City, in sharp contrast to the north and south districts, are the remaining east and west districts.
Dongcheng District is full of wealthy businessmen. Although these people do not have half of the official positions and royal relatives, the mansions they live in are no better than those with royal relatives and nobles. It can be said that they are even worse than them. It’s beyond your reach!
The Li Mansion is such a wealthy family, and its homestead occupies dozens of acres of land.
Not only are the people in this family extremely wealthy, they are also involved in some of Zhao's important industries.
Moreover, I heard that the head of his family was even more powerful, and there were even high-ranking officials far away in the temple to speak out for him.
As for the rest of the West District, compared with the splendid and high-rise courtyards in the East District, the West District is full of uneven bungalows, mostly populated by poor families working at the lowest level.
After several days of flying, Shen Luo finally arrived at Lingnan City, Pingzhou, and came to the secular world he had not seen for a long time.
In order not to cause a commotion, he landed a few miles away from Lingnan City, and then walked leisurely towards the city gate.
At this moment, people were coming and going at the city gate, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out.
Shen Luo's clothes had long been changed into mortal clothes, so he was not too conspicuous when walking among these crowds.
Li Youcai is a servant of the Li family. Because of his status as the head of the family, those who want to see the head of the family are attracted to him.
Regardless of their identity and origin, they all behaved politely towards a servant like him who was the gatekeeper.
Over time, even a servant like him felt that he was a superior.
Therefore, whenever someone sent a greeting card asking to see the head of the family, he would naturally ask for some money as a filial piety.
Of course, he doesn't always treat everyone like this, if some high-profile people come to visit.
He, Li Youcai, is relatively well-behaved. He doesn't mention anything about money and filial piety, and he works hard without complaint.
It's just that something happened to Li Youcai today, he just felt very upset.
Therefore, he decided to take advantage of this period of time when no one would go out to visit, and specially moved a bench under the big tree at the door to escape the heat and enjoy the cool air.
Just when he was sleeping in a daze, feeling comfortable by the breeze, suddenly a man's voice came from beside him: "Excuse me, is this the Li Mansion?"
Such a sudden sound startled Li Youcai, who was sleeping soundly, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Before he even opened his eyes, he started to curse: "What are you yelling about! Didn't you see that Grandpa Li is sleeping!"
After saying this, Li Youcai reluctantly opened his eyes, with an angry look on his face.
He glared at the person speaking in front of him. He was a man about twenty-two or thirty years old. His appearance was fair and fair. As for the clothes he was wearing, he was very ordinary and inconspicuous. look.
Li Youcai understood roughly when he saw this. He felt that most of the people in front of him were people with no powerful background.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more confident. Such a person would naturally want to blackmail and extort money to show his respect.
