To Grow Rich, First Build Roads

"Lu Yuan?"

Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.

The name might be unfamiliar, but the way the question is phrased makes some sense.

He guessed that this Purple-Gold Guest Token was very likely related to Lu Yuan.

Furthermore, it's clear that the other party likely didn't consider him to be Lu Yuan, otherwise they wouldn't have asked the question in that way.

Therefore, in Chen Yi's eyes, he should have a relationship with Lu Yuan, but he is not Lu Yuan himself.

After clarifying these points, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"My father is still in seclusion; I expect he will make a breakthrough in a few more days."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi mentally addressed the system:

"System, next time you need something like this, remember to get a completely new one."

Given the current situation, I'll have to put on a show for them myself.

The system responded:

"These Guest Token are all marked, so it's easy to get a brand new one, but they don't recognize them... Ah, right, maybe we could try a small leather whip."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Changzhi fell silent for a moment.

The system's idea... hmm, that's good.

At this moment, Sun Yi nodded and said:

"Senior Lu Yuan was renowned throughout the world in his time; it is hoped that when he reappears, he will reach even greater heights."

He paused, then looked at Lu Changzhi and smiled:

"As the son of Senior Lu Yuan, you are indeed a man of exceptional talent. I am sure you will surpass your father in the near future."

"You're too kind." Lu Changzhi smiled.

He understood why the other person had said that.

Between these two sentences, the way the other person addressed him changed from "senior" to "your esteemed one".

Clearly, the other party initially admitted to being mistaken.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Lu Changzhi had guessed.

The initial use of the term "senior" was indeed due to Chen Yi's mistake.

The reason his flying boat was heading in this direction was because he sensed the Purple-Gold Guest Token.

Heavenly Treasure Pavilion has many regulations regarding the Purple-Gold Guest Token.

One of the rules is that when the Purple-Gold Guest Token is sensed nearby, the person in charge must personally go to greet it, offer as much hospitality as possible, and provide assistance to the best of their ability.

That is why the flying boat adjusted its direction and moved closer to the location of the Purple-Gold Guest Token.

As for what happened with Xiao Ye just now, it can be said to have been a coincidence.

None of the people on the airship had any prominent backgrounds, but Xiao Ye gave him a good impression; he seemed like someone worth investing in.

Taking casually, using the lives of a few people to exchange for a favor, and using that on the right person, is not a loss.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ye was actually the other party's disciple.

And, at first, because he couldn't detect the other party's specific aura, he mistook the boy in front of him for a senior.

But since that's what they said, they had to keep giving him face, which is why they always addressed Lu Changzhi as "senior."

Only now, when there are no outsiders around, has the story been reversed.

As for the identity of the person in front of him, he had no doubt whatsoever.

The Purple-Gold Guest Token is extremely rare in the world. The issuance of each token is decided by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. Those who receive it are either extremely important to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion or have sufficient strength.

The Purple-Gold Guest Token is bound to the person who obtains it. If the person who obtains it dies, the Purple-Gold Token will be destroyed on its own, and there is no possibility that it will be picked up and used by outsiders.

In addition, besides the person who obtains the Purple-Gold Guest Token, all members of the direct bloodline of the person who obtained it can also use it, which is another benefit of the Purple-Gold Guest Token.

Anyone who obtains the Purple-Gold Token will ensure that their descendants for three generations receive preferential treatment from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

The person before him not only possessed an extraordinary aura, but his mount was also no ordinary creature, clearly indicating an exceptional background. Considering Lu Yuan's past reputation, there were indeed similarities.

Now that the form of address had been quietly changed, Chen Yi asked with a smile:

"Your Land of the Four Directions because you were attracted by the commotion here earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled slightly:

"I've been here for several years now, but you're the ones who must have come for this matter, right?"

Chen Yi nodded and frankly stated:

"Indeed, this place is shrouded in an array, and has remained undiscovered for many years. Perhaps it harbors some secrets, which is why we came here to search for them."

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly at this:

"Then you've arrived rather late; many people have already come."

Sun Yi smiled:

"The treasures of this world are often possessed by those with the right destiny; they cannot be forced. Our journey here is merely a matter of luck. In terms of destiny, we are newcomers and naturally cannot compare to Your Excellency."

Lu Changzhi did not comment on this.

At this moment, Sun Yi said again:

"There's another matter I've come to discuss, and I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"What is it?" Lu Changzhi looked over.

Sun Yi explained the matter in detail.

Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing, feeling somewhat moved.

In this mortal world, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

In the context of cultivation, this "path" tends to refer more to a teleportation array.

Now, the teleportation array is finally being built to reach Land of the Four Directions.

Another purpose of Sun Yi and his group's visit was to find a suitable location to build a teleportation array.

According to Sun Yi, the commotion in the Land of the Four Directions has now spread to a considerable distance, and many people are planning to come and investigate.

However, there is no teleportation array that leads directly to the Land of the Four Directions. Not only is the journey long, but finding the specific entrance to the Land of the Four Directions also requires effort and time.

If a teleportation array is established, and publicity and hype are employed to raise the cost of teleportation, considerable profits can be generated.

The construction of this teleportation array still requires cooperation with forces from Land of the Four Directions.

Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and this is especially true for the larger the area it is responsible for. Heavenly Treasure Pavilion understands this well, which is why it needs to find a strong force in the Land of the Four Directions to provide certain benefits and ensure sufficient stability.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and said:

"Regarding the collaboration on teleportation arrays, I have no particular interest, but..."

Lu Changzhi paused briefly, and Chen Yi then said:

"If you have any other ideas, please feel free to express them. As long as they are within our authority, we will do our best to satisfy them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded:

"When the teleportation array is being set up, may I, Lu, bring my disciples to observe?"

He remembered that Mu Fan had already obtained the materials needed for the teleportation array, but there had been no progress for so long.

If one can observe and learn from the sidelines, one might gain something.

Chen Yi did not answer, but instead looked at the Saint King who was skilled in array formations and restrictions, and the latter nodded:

"Since Young Master Lu is interested in formations, there's nothing wrong with that."

After that, there was a casual chat over drinks, but there were no probing actions; it was just a guest banquet.

Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised by this.

Unexpectedly, I actually succeeded in using someone else's power to bully others.

Just then, as if receiving some news, Sun Yi looked at Lu Changzhi and said:

"The flying boat needs to travel to the Extreme Arms Holy Land. I wonder if you are passing by?"
