Money Solves Problems That Aren't Problems

A few mornings later.

Lu Yuan exercised as usual, and after washing away the fatigue.

He was enjoying breakfast at the table when the television in the living room started making noise.

[Three days ago, a tourist claimed to have seen myriad rays of light in the clouds after reaching the summit of Mount Tai. A heavenly palace appeared within the light. This matter caused heated discussion among netizens and was later identified as a mirage.]

[An earthquake occurred again in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, but the tremor was minor. Relevant departments have already organized rescue teams to head to the area. Currently, there have been no casualties.]

[The eastern part of the Taihang Mountains has recently been shrouded in mist, and two tour groups have lost contact. Experts advise caution for tourism in the near future.]

"Perhaps the global anomaly has already begun, it just hasn't attracted attention yet."

Listening to the news reports on television, Lu Yuan began to ponder.

These incidents seemed ordinary and wouldn't make people think too much.

But looking back at them now, they seemed to hold many secrets and represent some kind of omen.

Perhaps the authorities had already realized this and were preparing in secret, but to maintain stability, they had suppressed all unusual occurrences.

With this thought, a sense of urgency arose in Lu Yuan's heart. With just over a month left, time was undeniably tight.

Therefore, he had to act as quickly as possible and seize every opportunity.

Ring ring ring.

Just then, his phone rang again.

Lu Yuan glanced at it. The caller ID showed Manager Zhang from Rongsheng Real Estate. Without hesitation, he answered.

"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Lu? This is Xiao Zhang from Rongsheng," a voice came from the other end, very politely. "The farm you purchased in the outskirts of Wuzhou City, all the procedures are complete, and the property contract has been drafted. It's just..."

"It's just what?" Lu Yuan frowned.

"The seller suddenly increased the price at the last minute. The land was originally twenty million, but now they want twenty-five million."

Manager Zhang's tone was hesitant as he continued, "That piece of land isn't worth that price at all. Would you like to wait? I can help you negotiate the price down?"

"No need. Just twenty-five million. Please finalize it as soon as possible," Lu Yuan said, his voice calm.

"Ah, okay, okay. Mr. Lu, don't worry, I'll make sure to get it done in the next few days."

The other party stammered for a moment. Having been a real estate agent for so many years, he had never encountered such a straightforward buyer. He agreed to an extra five million without hesitation?

But he quickly reacted, realizing that the more money involved, the higher his commission would be.

However, Manager Zhang soon continued, "Also, Mr. Lu, you might need to come over to sign the documents then."

"I've already authorized Rongsheng to handle everything. You can sign the contract on my behalf."

"Are you sure you don't want to come in person?"

The Xiao Zhang on the other end seemed somewhat incredulous.

This was over twenty million, not a small matter. Letting someone else sign on his behalf, were all wealthy people this capricious?

"I'm sure. Once it's done, just mail the contract to the address we gave you."

"Rongsheng is a big company, and I trust you to handle things. That's all."

With that, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.

He had limited time now and couldn't afford to waste a single moment. He also seemed to not care about this matter at all.

What was tens of millions?

It was far less valuable than the farm in his eyes.

In his memory, Wuzhou City would soon experience a meteor shower that occurred once in a thousand years.

The most important one would fall from the sky onto the land, precisely within the farm he had purchased.

And within that extraterrestrial meteorite, a peerless sword embryo was gestating. It was a divine artifact from beyond the heavens, rarely found in the world, and priceless. This was the main reason Lu Yuan insisted on acquiring the farm, even at an increased price. He would be able to go and search for it immediately.

After doing this.

He opened his phone again, found a name in his chat app, and typed a line of text.

Lu Yuan: Lawyer Wang, have you contacted Longhu Mountain yet?

A message quickly came back, almost instantly.

Lawyer Wang: Hello, Mr. Lu. I'm in the process of contacting them, but there are still some issues.

Lu Yuan: If it's about money, that's not a problem. I can add more.

Lawyer Wang: It's not that. The main issue is that the Taoist priests at Longhu Mountain are very difficult to communicate with. They said many people have been donating recently and asked you to wait.

Lu Yuan: Ten million. Continue negotiating.

Lawyer Wang: Okay.

The chat ended.

Lu Yuan smiled at this and then thought of Longhu Mountain.

Longhu Mountain was the ancestral court of Taoism, carrying much mythical significance.

Especially after the global anomaly, its status has only grown, with many important figures emerging.

Of course, Lu Yuan's substantial donations were not to curry favor with Longhu Mountain or seek protection.

He was after something more important.

A Wordless Stone Tablet.

This tablet contained a supreme divine ability of Taoism, incredibly powerful. In his previous life, someone used this divine ability to roam the world, conquer all directions, and achieve unparalleled success.

Currently, besides Lu Yuan, no one else in the world knows about this.

He intended to leverage this fact to obtain the Wordless Stone Tablet ahead of time.

According to Longhu Mountain's rules.

If a donor's contribution reaches a certain amount, they can establish a personal Lay Disciple Dojo within Longhu Mountain.

The stone tablet was very heavy, making it impossible to simply take it away openly. He could only use a large donation to first bring the stone tablet within the scope of his dojo, and then figure out another method.

However, for Lu Yuan.

Any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem at all.

"The land in Wuzhou, the donation to Longhu Mountain. Once these two matters are settled, the preliminary preparations should be almost complete," Lu Yuan exhaled, knowing this was just the beginning. He still had a series of unexecuted plans, and every second counted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have delegated everything to others.

Moreover.

After these matters were concluded, Lu Yuan would have to leave Shanghai City, truly unable to be in two places at once.

Without further thought, he glanced at the time on his phone; it was almost nine o'clock.

He immediately sped up his breakfast.

After a brief tidy-up, he left the living room and headed to the garage.

There was only one car in the garage: a brand-new Mercedes-Benz G63, the latest 2025 model, priced around four million yuan.

Of course, this sum was insignificant compared to Lu Yuan's net worth. He bought it simply because he found it practical and affordable.

"I wonder how those people will react when they see me arrive at the class reunion in this car."

Lu Yuan shook his head, thinking.

In fact, he had been extremely low-key during his university years, appearing very ordinary in all aspects.

This was due to his parents' philosophy of "raising a child with hardship," believing that premature exposure to excessive wealth could corrupt the mind and hinder growth. Because of this, Lu Yuan's university classmates all assumed his family was merely middle-class.

Grabbing the keys, he started the car.

Lu Yuan drove away from the villa.
