Descendant of the Immortal Master, Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu

Lu Yuan was thinking, then shook his head.

No.

Absolutely not.

In his previous life, he had struggled at the bottom for a full ten years, living a life of humility for a decade.

Now that he had an opportunity, no matter what, he couldn't choose to give up!

If he didn't seize it now.

Not to mention whether he would regret it, but after the anomaly occurred, it would be even more difficult to obtain.

With this thought, Lu Yuan looked up and continued, "I am indeed interested in this item. Please help me, Manager Lin, to arrange a meeting with the seller. After the deal is done, I will certainly express my gratitude."

He didn't know who the other party was, so he could only ask Jubaozhai to act as an intermediary.

"Mr. Lu, what are you saying?"

Manager Lin replied, "You are our VIP, and serving you is our duty. Since you've asked, I will definitely give it a try."

"However, Mr. Lu, you still need to be mentally prepared. This seller is not sincere. The asking price of twenty million alone is a bit excessive. Other customers have approached him before, but he was still unwilling to part with it."

"Unwilling?"

Lu Yuan, however, smiled, "That's because he hasn't met a buyer like me."

The Level 11 Blood Futu was too important. He would never forget the scene back then.

As long as he obtained it, twenty million was nothing.

"Alright, Mr. Lu, just wait for my news."

Manager Lin saw Lu Yuan's determination to get it and immediately nodded, indicating he would do his best to handle it.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer.

Seeing that he didn't need anything else, Lu Yuan picked up the Ghost Seal and left the sixth floor.

Outside Jubaozhai, the sun was about to set.

He got into his car and headed to another place, not the city north villa again, but an old urban area located on the outer ring.

On the way, Lu Yuan specifically stopped to buy some fruit, nothing expensive, just ordinary kinds.

It was almost seven o'clock.

The car arrived in front of a bungalow.

There was a yard outside the bungalow, and from the outside, he could see wisps of smoke rising from within.

If he smelled carefully, he would notice a medicinal scent mixed with the smoke.

"Old Master Ge, I've come uninvited again."

Pushing open the door, Lu Yuan lifted the bag in his hand and smiled, "I bought you some fruit too."

At this moment.

In the courtyard, a thin old man, about sixty or seventy years old, was holding a fan and fanning a medicinal pot in front of him.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he merely raised his eyelids, then returned his focus to boiling the medicine, muttering a "hmm" without much enthusiasm.

To this.

The latter was accustomed to it.

After placing the fruit on the table, he came over, took the fan, and took over the task of boiling the medicine.

Old Master Ge frowned, but ultimately didn't say much. He walked to a rocking chair and lay down, showing no intention of speaking.

But Lu Yuan was slightly surprised. Since his rebirth, he had come here every day.

On the first day, the old man had directly kicked him out.

As time passed, he was eventually allowed in. Now, the old man didn't mind him bringing gifts and helping with chores. To Lu Yuan, this was a good sign, at least his persistence was paying off.

In fact, he had no relation to Old Master Ge, and they hadn't even known each other before.

The reason he came here and tried to build a relationship was, of course, with a purpose.

It was just that he hadn't revealed it until now.

At this moment.

He acted like a kind-hearted junior, helping the elder with boiling medicine and chores.

One old, one young. One sitting, one lying down.

Finally, the old man couldn't sit still any longer. He sat up straight and said, "Alright, Little Lu, the medicine is almost ready. You should go home now."

"It's fine, I don't mind spending a little more time." Lu Yuan smiled, remaining seated.

This made Old Master Ge very helpless. He continued, "Little Lu, I know your family is well-off, and you've been to college. You don't actually believe those outlandish rumors outside, do you? That my family is descended from Ge Hong?"

Ge Hong, styled Baopuzi, was a famous alchemist in Chinese history, widely renowned, rumored to be an immortal.

However, he had an even more famous relative, one of the Four Heavenly Masters, Ge Xuan!

"Legends aren't always true, but maybe this one is?"

Lu Yuan chuckled, "Of course. The reason I've been helping you these past few days isn't just for that."

"Really?" the old man didn't believe him.

"Really!"

Lu Yuan answered firmly, but his eyes casually flickered to a medicinal furnace placed not far away in the courtyard.

The furnace wasn't large, with three legs and no lid, about the size of a basketball. It was clearly an antique, though poorly preserved and casually placed, its patterns worn smooth, making its exact age impossible to determine.

To ordinary people, the furnace was worth maybe a hundred or eighty yuan at most.

But in reality, only Lu Yuan knew this object was unusual, another Divine Artifact.

It looked unremarkable, but it was one of the few things with profound mysteries that existed before the global cataclysm.

Because.

Its true name was Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu, and it was used by Immortal Master Ge for alchemy.

As for how Lu Yuan knew, it was because he had obtained this item before.

It was also thanks to this artifact that he managed to survive for a full ten years in the environment after the global cataclysm. The process of obtaining it was a matter of chance, filled with hardships, and it was also because of this furnace that Lu Yuan was ultimately killed by someone.

He had never been able to unleash the true power of the Zi Wu Bu Tian Lu, even unto death.

It could be said to be one of his greatest regrets.

Now.

It was time to make amends.

However, besides the furnace, Lu Yuan had another purpose.

Of course, he couldn't reveal it; that would be too obvious and annoying.

He had inquired about Old Master Ge. Although not wealthy, the man was stubborn and eccentric, which was why Lu Yuan hadn't simply used money to solve the problem. To deal with someone like him, you had to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now."

Old Master Ge shook his head. Though he said this, he clearly didn't take it seriously and lay back down.

Lu Yuan didn't mind and patiently finished brewing the medicine.

Thus, time ticked by, drop by drop.

Finally, the sky darkened completely.

The medicine was ready.

"Old Master, it's done. Remember to eat your fruit; it's good for you. I'll be heading back now." Lu Yuan stood up and walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

"This young man..." Old Master Ge was taken aback. He wanted to get angry but finally muttered softly, "Didn't even stay for a cup of tea."

After leaving the old district.

Lu Yuan finally prepared to return to his villa. The journey was a bit long, requiring him to pass through the city center.

Now, sitting in his car, he sorted through his plans while gazing at the neon-lit city.

It was lively and peaceful, seemingly destined to continue forever.

But Lu Yuan knew very well.

In a little over a month, everything would change.

Skyscrapers would collapse, the city would be destroyed, and the heavens and earth would be utterly transformed. The new era would be an opportunity, but for most people, it would also be an unprecedented disaster.

Soon, it was nearing ten o'clock.

Lu Yuan finally arrived home. However, as he stopped the car and walked into the courtyard, he couldn't help but freeze.
