"Wu Daoyou, don't be excited. I just said it casually. But to be honest, even if this matter is true, after so many years, even if you go now, you won't gain much. Is there any secret inside? No?" Lu Li asked curiously.
"Ahem, it's true, otherwise, I wouldn't have said the word 'gamble'." Wu Weiyang said with a dry laugh.
"Oh? Please give me some advice from fellow Daoist Wu."
"There is nothing to teach me. According to rumors, after the sea beast exploded, it formed a special area somewhere in the north of Shen Haiyuan. The place is shrouded in a weird purple mist all the year round. Just a little bit of it will cause meridians to ulcerate and be difficult to repair. At the beginning, there were still many seniors who did not believe in evil and ran to test them, but without exception, they did not benefit. As time went by, no one was willing to patronize them anymore. Our ancestors of the Wu family have also been there and confirmed it with our own eyes. I have discovered the existence of the purple mist area, but I have also not entered the purple mist range..."
Lu Li was inevitably a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that such a place really existed. Could it be that the legend was actually true?
But then he smiled dumbly, "Wu Daoyou, you have said so, why do you want me to bet? Do you think I am more powerful than Senior Transformation God, can I break through the purple mist?"
"Ahem, that's not what I mean. In fact, I think that after so many years, maybe the purple mist has dissipated, or maybe there has been a new turning point? What if you happen to meet me when you go there this time? Wouldn’t it be great to make a lot of money if we take a new turn?”
It seemed that even Wu Weiyang himself didn't believe what he said. He was suppressing a smile as he spoke.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu is really good at joking."
Lu Li was a little speechless on the surface, but he was actually moved. Sometimes it's really hard to explain things like chance, and the Wu family obviously wouldn't give him their thoughts. Now that he finally got some clues, it would be hard to go there. What a shame.
Apart from anything else, a person who can harm both sides of a transformed monster must not be a simple person. The things left behind by such a person must not be simple.
"Hey! In this case, I will give you another one million, six million middle-grade spiritual stones, fellow Daoist Lu. As for the news just now, how about I give it to you for free?" Wu Weiyang gritted his teeth and said.
Lu Li was hesitantly silent for a while, and then said, "I'm very curious. You, Daoist Wu, are not the only Nascent Soul masters in your Wu family. Why don't you go by yourself and insist on a mission to reward Chen Hai? Or, do you, Daoist Wu, think of Shen Hai?" Is there anything else Yuan can’t hide?”
Wu Weiyang said: "I won't hide this from you. Counting me, our Wu family has nine Nascent Soul masters, and they are all of Wu family blood.
As for why we don’t go by ourselves, the main reason is that my son only had an eye injury. If we go there in person and suffer some damage, it will definitely affect the foundation of the Wu family and make it difficult to check and balance with the other two families. So, friend Lu Dao, you should be able to understand, right? "
To put it bluntly, although Wu Weiyang wanted to cure his son's eye injury, he did not want the top brass of the Wu family to suffer losses as a result.
"Okay, I understand. So when will Fellow Daoist Wu prepare to give these six million spiritual stones?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu agreed?" Wu Weiyang looked happy.
"Well, I'm going to go take a look. If it's true as Wu Daoyou said, I'm very lucky." Lu Li said half-jokingly.
"Okay! Then I wish you good luck, Fellow Daoist Lu. However, I can only give you half of this spiritual stone first, and it will be distributed to you all when you set off. The remaining half will be sent back when the matter is completed. How about we, the Wu family, give them all?"
"No problem, then just follow what Fellow Daoist Wu said. I don't know when to set off?" Lu Li said cheerfully.
"Uh... It depends on how well the people behind are found. Counting you, fellow Taoist, we have found seven people, and there are only three people missing."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first. If we find someone, the head of the Wu family can send someone to come to Fulou to find me. However, it won't take too long. I'm afraid I won't stay here for too long."
"Laifu Tower? How about... Fellow Daoist Lu just live in our Wu family? We have many quiet private courtyards here, and we don't have to waste spiritual stones on you, Fellow Daoist."
Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "Let's forget it. I can't sit still. When the head of the Wu family will be fine, just let me know."
He is soft-spoken when it comes to eating people, but short-handed when taking advantage of others. Before the matter is decided, he doesn't want to have much to do with the Wu family.
Seeing Lu Li's insistence, Wu Weiyang said nothing more, exchanged a few words, and personally escorted Lu Li out of the Wu house.
Wu Weiyang pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back, and then headed towards the east of the square again.
However, this time he did not go back to his own courtyard, but went to the entrance of another small courtyard that looked small.
"Meet the master."
The two guards were chatting and joking. Seeing Wu Weiyang's arrival, they first flashed a flash of surprise, and then hurriedly saluted.
"Well, is Li Zhao here?" Wu Weiyang said lightly.
"Yes, the second young master has just returned and is practicing in the East Pavilion." The guard on the right quickly replied.
The second son, Wu Weiyang's youngest son, is named Wu Lizhao.
Unlike the eldest son Wu Liyuan, who had a middle-grade second spiritual root, this second son had a second-grade fourth spiritual root.
Therefore, they only forcibly cultivated the golden elixir to the early stage, and the Wu family stopped cultivating it and let them start assisting in the management of the family industry.
However, Wu Lizhao himself has never given up on practicing. As long as he has free time, even if he does not have enough spiritual stones, he will practice by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, as a person with four spiritual roots, it is too difficult for him to break through again by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Now he is more than three hundred years old, but he is still only a small success in the early stage of the golden elixir.
Moreover, the family affairs are busy and there is not much time for him to practice.
Wu Weiyang walked slowly into the inner courtyard and immediately saw Wu Lizhao sitting cross-legged in a small pavilion on the east side of the verandah. He was dressed in simple green clothes, had a face of thirty or forty years old, and his eyes were lightly closed.
He sighed secretly and walked over slowly: "Zhao'er."
Hearing the voice, Wu Lizhao immediately opened his eyes with an unbelievable expression, then stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Father, why are you here?"
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen his father alone. It seemed that he had been forgotten. Even if the accounts were reconciled at the end of the year, he could only stand at the back of the crowd and look at him from a distance.
"I have something I want to discuss with you." Wu Weiyang glanced at Wu Lizhao, then moved his gaze towards the courtyard, and said with his hands behind his back.
"Father, please give me your orders." Wu Lizhao walked over slowly and stood side by side with Wu Weiyang.
"That's it. You should know about the bounty mission, right? This time I'm going to let you lead a team to Shen Haiyuan to help your brother collect Cuiming bananas. What do you think?"
After Wu Lizhao heard this, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart, and said bitterly: "Zhao'er just obeys orders, but I don't understand why my father insists on me going. Can't others do the same?"
