On this day, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears walked in.
Lu Chan glanced at him and couldn't see through the opponent's skill, so he treated it cautiously: "Immortal, what do you need?"
The middle-aged man has a long and narrow face, a high nose and deep eyes, a wide forehead and thin eyebrows, dangling ears, and sunken eyebrows. He seems to have a vertical eye. He said: "I need fine gold powder, at least 500 kilograms."
Lu Chan said: "I'm sorry, Immortal, there aren't that many small shops. We can only get 100 kilograms per month at most."
The middle-aged man touched his hand, and a row of items appeared on the counter. There were three smooth parietal bones of human monks, two finger bones, two fairy caves the size of dragon eyes, and a cave as big as a broad bean, plus a flower pot about a foot in size. It's full of fairy energy, and contains a fairy spirit vein.
He looked at Lu Chan, smiled slightly, and said, "These items are probably enough to exchange for 500 kilograms of gold powder, right?"
Lu Chan was very surprised and thought: "How many people has this guy killed? If he killed all these people, it means that he has extremely high skills and may be Da Luo Jinxian. Since he is Da Luo Jinxian, why does he need so much gold powder? ?”
The middle-aged man urged: "How about it? Give me the gold powder, and these things will be yours."
Lu Chan looked embarrassed and said, "Exian Chang, our shop operates on a small budget and we really don't have that much gold powder."
The middle-aged man asked: "Tell me, where did you get that fine gold powder?"
"I would like to inform you, Immortal Chief Qi, that I refined it myself."
"Do you know how to refine it?"
"Yes."
"Can you teach it to me? In addition to giving you these items, I can also give you a treasure."
"What treasure?"
"Six pure bamboos!"
"Ah?" When Lu Chan heard this, he was horrified and looked at the other party with wide eyes.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Don't look at me, I didn't kill anyone to get the treasure. I just got the treasure by chance."
Lu Chan asked: "Is it really six pure bamboos?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "It's true, but it's just a young bamboo."
Lu Chan thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible to teach alchemy. However, it is quite difficult. Please wait." He took out a spare mobile phone and played a video of using sodium citrate to reduce gold chloride to the other party. Video of the one-pot acid preparation of gold nanoparticles.
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, asking for the specific steps of each step, how to prepare sodium citrate and chloroauric acid.
Lu Chan took out a stack of printed articles and said, "Here, they're all here."
The article was printed in traditional Chinese characters, but for some reason, the middle-aged man could easily understand it. His consciousness scanned the thick stack of articles, and he frowned and said: "This method is very complicated. If you want to refine it into fine gold powder, you need to prepare for two or three armors. I still want some gold powder, even if If you don’t have 500 kilograms, you have to have 250 kilograms. With the gold powder, I will give you six pure bamboos and these items."
Lu Chan muttered: "Chief Immortal, can you give me three months? After three months, I will prepare 250 kilograms of gold powder for you."
The middle-aged man nodded, put away the finger bones and the fairy cave, and took away the flower pot, leaving only the two parietal bones as a deposit.
After this person left, Lu Chan thought about it and felt surprised: "Who is this person? Why can he understand traditional Chinese characters? Did the earth ascend? When did it ascend? The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or the Qin and Han Dynasties? What if it was later? Ascending, why are there so many treasures? There are even six pure bamboos! It’s so strange!”
On second thought, those great immortals in the Conferred God Period may not have left immediately after being granted the title of God. It is not impossible that some of the great Immortals left avatars on the earth and waited until the Qin and Han Dynasties had completely exhausted their spiritual energy before leaving.
Three months later, the middle-aged man came again.
The transaction went smoothly and nothing went wrong.
Lu Chan got six pieces of pure bamboo, parietal bones, finger bones, the Immortal Cave and the flowerpot with the Immortal Spiritual Veins. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask: "What do you call the Immortal? Can you leave a name?"
The middle-aged man looked back at him and said, "Lu You, I have met you! Don't ask any more questions. If we are destined, we will meet you."
Lu Chan was surprised, but before he could ask again, the other party had already left the door.
Looking at the man's leaving figure, Lu Chan thought to himself: "Where has he seen me before? Was it during the Battle of the Gods in the Yuaniao Realm? I didn't participate in the battle. I mostly stayed in Yuxu Palace and took the time to watch. It’s so exciting that you’ve actually been paid attention to by this person?”
He is relatively familiar with the disciples of Yuxu Palace, and after thinking about it, he doesn't feel like the Twelve Golden Immortals: "Maybe this person is a member of the Jie Jiao. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Jie Jiao."
*****
The Modern World, March 2229.
Lu Cheng buried the Immortal Spiritual Veins underground in Yuxu Peak, planted six pure bamboos on the top of Yuxu Peak, gave the flowerpot to Yuan Qingyue for study, and handed over various magical artifacts to Lu Xingbai, Lu Yuzhou, Lu Songxi and other descendants. To imitate, leave the parietal bones and phalanges to Jiang Qiuyun, Mei Lingshang and Tao Qianqian to crack.
When he was free, he went to decipher the cave world left by the three immortals.
He invited Yang Yunxiao over and asked her if there was a person who had a long and narrow face, a high nose and deep eyes, a wide forehead and thin eyebrows, hanging ears, and sunken eyebrows.
Yang Yunxiao thought for a while and said: "The image of the person you mentioned is like the Taoist's great disciple, Taoist Duobao."
"Taoist Duobao? I heard a rumor that when the world first opened and Hongmeng first judged, Hongjun divided the treasures at Fenbaoyan. All the remaining innate spiritual treasures belonged to Taoist Duobao, and those that fell into his hands There are as many as a thousand magic weapons. Is this true?"
"It's pure nonsense! The reason why Taoist Duobao got this name is because he is good at making magic weapons. There is a 'refining family' behind him. He opened the "Duobao Hall" in the Six Bird Realm and the Seven Bird Realm. A famous businessman in the fairy world who makes and sells magic weapons."
"Where did this person go after the Conferred God War?"
"I don't know. I only know that his skills are extremely high, and he is probably in the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. He is nominally the disciple of Tongtian Taoist, but in fact he is half of the financial backer of Tongtian Cult Master. Without his help, Tongtian Cult Master would not be able to He will become the leader worshiped by thousands of immortals so smoothly."
"Oh, that's actually true."
Lu Cheng checked Taoist Duobao online.
Taoist Duobao is the leader of the eight disciples of Master Tongtian. He sets up the Immortal Killing Formation on behalf of the master. In the Jie sect, he can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Taoist Duobao successfully provoked Master Tongtian to get involved in the Conferring God War and went out on behalf of his teacher. First, he was hit in the back by Fan Tianyin during the battle with Guangchengzi and hurriedly fled back to the Zhuxian Formation. Later, he was worried that his master, Master Tongtian, would be injured and suffer a loss. , then he swung his sword and stabbed Taishang Laojun. In the end, he was caught by Taishang Laojun with a wind and fire futon and sent to Xuandu.
Taoist Duobao has very high skills. Facing Guangchengzi's mountain-suppressing treasure Fantian Seal, he was only beaten by a somersault. It should be noted that most immortals would have been killed long ago.
Fan Tianyin is extremely powerful. Guangchengzi gave it to Yin Jiao during the Battle of the Gods. Yin Jiao helped King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, and even the Twelve Golden Immortals were unable to do anything to him. In the end, I had to borrow the four five-element flags, the plain cloud boundary flag, the flame light flag from the ground, the Wuji apricot yellow flag, and the green lotus color flag to surrender. Yin Jiao was mentioned in "The Romance of the Gods", but he didn't practice much at all. However, I only ate two fruits, so you can imagine how powerful this magic weapon is.
But there are a lot of speculations on the Internet about where Taoist Duobao ended up. Some people say that he followed Laozi and became the leader of the Wandering World, becoming the Sakyamuni Buddha for future generations.
Regarding this point, Lu Cheng didn't quite believe it. If Taoist Duobao was a businessman, it would be impossible for him to be a leader. Even if he joined the Buddhist sect, he would still be an all-round bastard who could have both sides.
