Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was not until the third day that a group of people finally arrived outside the village.

One of them had a sturdy build, bright eyes, and was wearing a short thin shirt. From a distance, he looked like he was surrounded by anger, and his gaze was full of imposingness.

He also carried a long black cloth on his back.

It seems to be an object like a spear or a long umbrella.

Who else could it be if not Li Shuguo?
In addition to him and two guys who were ordered to go up the mountain to ask for help, there were two young men in the team.

Not too old.

He looks about sixteen or seventeen years old.

His eyebrows are about 60% similar to Li Shuguo's, almost like they were carved from the same mold.

At this moment, the two people sitting on horseback were looking at this small town located between green mountains and green waters with surprise, their eyes full of shock.

It’s been a long journey.

I have seen many villages and stockades where nine out of ten houses are empty.

Suddenly seeing such a bustling, glorious and vibrant town, the huge contrast cannot be described in a few words.

"Dad, is this Chenjiazhuang?"

"Yes, it is the result of the efforts of three generations of people who have accumulated a lot to achieve today."

When Li Shuguo heard his youngest son ask, he nodded.

Counting it up, this is his third time here.

I am very familiar with Chenjiazhuang.

This time when he was ordered to destroy weapons again, he specially brought his two sons with him. One reason was to let them go down the mountain to broaden their horizons. Also, when they went to Shijun Mountain, they could use the hundred-foot fire dragon to refine weapons and get started as soon as possible.

The Li family was born into a family of mercenaries.

The Chen family is engaged in the business of local products.

In fact, they all belong to the occupations of the lowest class and the outsiders.

Don't laugh at anyone.

To be honest, his grandfather's generation at least held positions in the Ministry of Works, although they were just craftsmen. But the imperial family and the common people are like heaven and earth, how can they be compared?

It’s a pity that the Qing Dynasty collapsed.

The royal family members who were once high and mighty all changed their names and fell from grace.

Not to mention them?
It is not easy to keep a life.

However, the Chen family rose against the trend during the turbulent times. Although they were still gangsters, the status of the two families had changed dramatically.

Changsheng Mountain is one of the thirty-six major mountains.

The green forests of the sixteen provinces in the north and south are all under his control.

The Chen family is rich enough to rival a country and has a golden brand.

And his Honeycomb Mountain could only barely squeeze in among the seventy-two small hills.

If he hadn't made several important weapons for Manager Chen last year, allowing him to re-emerge in the underworld, he would still be at the bottom of the underworld.

To put it bluntly.

He's just a blacksmith.

Hearing the envy in his father's words, the boy couldn't help but clench his fists, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

Yuhua Mountain and Changsheng Mountain are not far apart.

It’s only about two hundred miles.

Although he had been in the mountains for a long time, he often heard the name of Changsheng Mountain.

Young people always yearn for the world of martial arts, let alone a big man like Manager Chen who has already reached the top, their curiosity about him is even stronger.

So much so that this time their father offered to take their brothers with them.

The two were so excited that they stayed awake all night.

My mind was full of imagination about what kind of person Manager Chen was.

Although I have heard a lot from my father.

The rumors about him in the world are even more rampant.

But seeing is believing.

Now that they had finally arrived outside the manor and were about to see the real person, the two brothers looked at each other and took a deep breath together.

His excitement was evident between his brows.

dong dong——

About to go in.

In the distance, the sound of horse hooves came from the city.

Several people looked up subconsciously.

I saw a tall and majestic figure riding a horse towards me.

"Kunlun?!"

Li Shuguo recognized it at the first sight.

You know, he originally wanted to ask Shopkeeper Chen for help, but in the end he didn't dare to ask.

Such people are destined to shine in the world.

His small temple on Yuhua Mountain was far from enough to accommodate such a huge Buddha.

"I am here to welcome Manager Li on the orders of the manager."

While he was thinking, Kunlun had already passed through the city gate, reined in his horse and stopped a few meters away from the group. Sitting on the horse, he clasped his fists towards Li Shuguo and laughed out loud.

"Thank you, Brother Kunlun, for coming to pick me up in person."

Li Shuguo also hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed.

A smile appeared on his face.

He had been to Chenjiazhuang several times, so he knew everything. Kunlun was Manager Chen's right-hand man and confidant. He had followed him for many years and was one of the top three people on Changsheng Mountain.

In other words, he is a low-key person.

Don't want to be in the spotlight.

Therefore, his name is rarely heard in the world.

"No, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Li for taking the trouble to come from afar. The shopkeeper has already prepared tea and wine for you in the building. Please follow me, Shopkeeper Li."

Kunlun shook his head.

From the time he became enlightened to now, over the past year or so, he has traveled extensively with Chen Yulou and gained countless experiences. He has also learned a lot about the etiquette of the underworld and the ways of the world.

Therefore, when Chen Yulou sent him to pick someone up, he didn't have to worry about being impolite.

As for the versatile and good at handling things, he has been so busy these days that he has no time to rest, day or night, and has no time to spare at all.

"it is good."

Li Shuguo nodded.

Kunlun came in person and went all the way outside the city to greet him, which was already a very high standard. How could he not be satisfied?

"gone."

"I don't know how to speak when I meet someone, and I don't know any etiquette at all."

He greeted his two sons.

Li Shuguo whispered.

"Seen..."

The eldest son reacted first.

I bowed like my father did, but I didn't know how to address him. I felt embarrassed for a moment and subconsciously looked at my father for help.

"This is the leader of Kunlun."

"Oh, I've met the leader of Kunlun."

The two followed suit and quickly spoke.

Kunlun then noticed the two people, "Are these two the young shopkeepers?"

"I don't deserve it, it's my son."

"Bring him here to see the world, so he won't have to stay in the mountains all day and lose sight of how big the world is."

Li Shuguo nodded and made amends with a smile.

"I'm told that you two are so outstanding even at such a young age. It's true that a good father will have a good son!"

"No... Brother Kunlun, you are too kind."

Hear the words.

Li Shuguo was filled with excitement.

There was no expression on his face, he just waved his hands repeatedly.

Afterwards, a group of people followed Kunlun through the city gate and headed straight to Guanyun Tower.

But what he didn't know was.

It’s not that the two sons were ignorant of etiquette, but they were so shocked by Kunlun’s aura that they were almost speechless.

The masters who forge iron in the furnaces on the mountain are already amazing enough.

But compare your head with the Kunlun in front of you.

It's like a firefly to the bright moon.

Just standing there made them feel breathless.

but.

This thought was quickly suppressed.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see the flourishing urban area, the big lake and the tall buildings lined up one after another. This is not Zhuangzi at all. Even in Changsha city, it is probably difficult to find such scenery.

The two of them rarely had the opportunity to go down the mountain.

Now that I'm sitting on the horse, I'm almost dazzled.

If their father hadn't been there, they wouldn't have dared to make a noise. Under normal circumstances, they would have screamed out loud.

All the way to the bottom of Guanyun Tower.

The door is open.

Uncle Yu was waiting outside the door with his hands hanging down.

"Shopkeeper Li."

Seeing that the old man was waiting in person, Li Shuguo felt even more honored. This old man was the Chen family's pillar of support, and even Chen Yulou was respectful in front of him.

What's more, the elderly are nearly 70 years old.

How could he let him come to greet him in person?

He quickly jumped off the horse and strode forward.

"Hello, Uncle Yu. I am really terrified to trouble you to wait here."

A few brief greetings were exchanged.

Li Shuguo then waved to his two sons who were already stunned by the prosperous scene.

"The child has never seen the world."

"I hope Uncle Yu will forgive me."

He himself behaved like this when he first entered the village, so his two sons' reactions were understandable.

He didn't say much, just bowed to Uncle Yu.

"how come?"

"The two young mountain masters are very promising and the young people are formidable."

Compared to Kunlun, Uncle Yu was obviously more experienced in dealing with people. Just a few words from him made Li Shuguo very happy, and he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

"I am overly flattered."

"They are just two brats. If only they had done what you said, Uncle Yu..."

He waved his hands repeatedly.

Li Shuguo changed the subject and pointed upstairs.

"Otherwise, you should go upstairs first, otherwise Manager Chen will be waiting anxiously."

"Alright."

Uncle Yu stepped aside and led the group upstairs.

Even though their father had repeatedly warned them before they came, once they entered the building, the two brothers were still stunned by the luxurious and amazing decorations in Guanyun Building.

I just felt that the building was so magnificent that I couldn’t take it all in with my eyes.

Every object hanging randomly among them was something they had never heard of.

I sleepwalked all the way up to the sixth floor.

Chen Yulou was waiting in the living room early.

It was not until that gentle laughter was heard that the two of them woke up as if they had just experienced a fantastic dream.

"I heard that there are two young managers in Honeycomb Mountain."

"He is indeed a handsome young man, a talented young man!"

Chen Yulou looked at the two of them with a smile and immediately guessed their identities.

"This... Shopkeeper Chen, please stop talking."

"If this continues, the two brats will be so arrogant."

Li Shuguo looked helpless.

Kunlun and Uncle Yu would have been fine with just a few words of praise.

But who is Chen Yulou?

He took over the Chen family when he was in his teens, shouldered the main responsibility, and made Changsheng Mountain famous all over the world with his own efforts.

After going through thousands of mountains and rivers, looking back, I realized that I am only thirty years old.

Looking at the whole world, in the past hundred years, there are few people who can compare with him.

What’s more, no one knows a son better than his father.

He knows the situation of these two guys better than anyone else.

What young talent? It's just a polite remark.

Like fathers, like sons, like daughters. His only hope is that a hundred years after him, one of them will stand up and guard the foundation of Honeycomb Mountain.

As for being handsome, it is even further away.

His Li family has been blacksmiths for generations, and at most they can get close to tall and strong people.

Hear the words.

Chen Yulou just smiled faintly and motioned for them to sit down.

Kunlun walked forward, picked up the boiling copper stove, and boiled water to make tea for the few people.

We met again and exchanged simple greetings.

Not long after.

Chen Yulou went straight to the point and briefly explained the purpose of inviting him to Chenjiazhuang.

"The arrows are simple, and the secret recipes are all there."

"Give Mr. Li one day to make it."

Upon hearing that most of the arrows were lost after the old foreigner went on a long journey, Li Shuguo did not investigate further. He knew very well what the Chen family started out to do.

There are quite a lot of intricacies here.

Asking too many questions will break the rules of the underworld.

I just patted my chest and made the promise.

"There is another strange thing."

"I would like to ask Shopkeeper Li for help."

After getting Li Shuguo's promise, Chen Yulou felt relieved. The Jiaoshe bow and the secret golden arrow were originally made by him, so it was not difficult to make some more.

His answer was expected.

However, the reason why Chen Yulou sent someone to invite him this time was not just to forge weapons.

"Oh, please let Manager Chen know."

Hearing the word "strange thing".

Li Shuguo's eyes lit up instantly.

It goes without saying that this is something extraordinary that Shopkeeper Chen could describe with just these two words.

Who knows, it might be dragon scales or the spine of a big monster, which are rare and precious things in the world.

"Kunlun."

Seeing his impatient expression, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

He turned around and glanced at Kunlun.

The latter nodded, and without further delay, he stood up and walked to the screen behind him and pushed it gently. The green bamboo woven screen fan was pushed to the side.

next moment.

There was a burst of exclamation.

Li Shuguo opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

He never imagined that behind the screen there was such an amazing piece of jade. It was bright red and dotted with gold and silver. The sunlight coming in from the window just happened to pass through it, refracting rays of light like clouds.

The whole building was filled with golden light and billowing jade smoke.

"This……"

It's not just him.

The two sons sitting next to him were already stunned. They stood up in a daze, staring at the jade with wide eyes, and felt their chests pounding.

"Manager Li, how is it?"

Chen Yulou was not at all surprised by the actions of these people.

After all, he even saw a hint of shock in Uncle Yu's eyes.

He has been in the martial arts world for many years and has seen all kinds of good things, but now he is stunned by the jade. You can imagine how amazing it is.

"Gudong-"

When Li Shuguo heard Chen Yulou's question, he came back to his senses and swallowed secretly.

“Shocking!”

Murmured.

Li Shuguo shook his head repeatedly.

As the master of Honeycomb Mountain, he thought he had seen countless refining materials, but the strange object before him stumped him.

In his opinion, it should be a piece of jade seed material.

But with jade carving tools?
This kind of thing sounds even less reliable than forging a sword from demon tendons.

After thinking it over for a long time, Li Shuguo still couldn't guess what kind of thing Chen Yulou wanted to use it to cast, so he simply bowed.

"Manager Chen, to be honest, I have poor eyesight and I really can't recognize what this is, let alone what it is used for. Please tell me clearly."

Li Shuguo has always been a person who can't hide things.

If you have any doubts, ask them on the spot.

"This is the scented jade."

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled, as if he had seen through his thoughts long ago. "I asked Shopkeeper Li to come here not to borrow it to refine weapons, but to split it into several parts and carve it into ornaments."

"what?"

Li Shuguo was stunned.

Just a moment ago, at least dozens of guesses popped up in his mind, but he never thought that it was just as simple as cutting and trimming.

"No need for a pin?"

"No need."

"Oh... that's fine too."

After repeated confirmation, Li Shuguo's heart finally died down. Since he used the monster tendons to forge the dragon scale sword, nine-section whip, and dragon shooting bow, and used the dragon scale armor to tailor the middle one for Kunlun.

As his reputation in the underworld grew, his ambitions grew.

After all, the Zhang Yajiu Weapon Manual handed down from the Li family's ancestors finally came in handy.

On the way here, not only were his two sons so excited that they couldn't sleep or eat well, he was the same. He only regretted that he didn't have wings and could not get to Chenjiazhuang as soon as possible.

In this world, only Shopkeeper Chen can provide materials that only exist in rumors.

Let him show his skills.

However, now that he had seen the material, he realized that it was indeed a rare treasure in the world. He had never even heard of the name Wen Xiang Yu.

but……

What's the big deal about dismantling?
He was invited and it was difficult for him to refuse, but the frustration in his heart was really hard to vent.

"Don't worry, Manager Li."

"There are plenty of opportunities. Chen still has some in stock. I will definitely make you get what you want."

He looked helpless and depressed.

How could Chen Yulou, who had been dealing with him for such a long time, not understand Li Shuguo's thoughts.

If Kunlun and Yang Fang are martial arts fanatics, he is a weapon fanatic.

The weapons catalogue that had been believed by generations of the Li family to be a divine book was finally no longer covered in dust in his hands, and even shone brightly. Li Shuguo became even more obsessed with the art of refining weapons to an unprecedented level.

This trip to the Western Regions.

Although he did not hunt too many big monsters, the Kunlun sacred tree and the Snake Mother Pearl are also rare materials in the world, enough for him to study for several months.

"Haha, that's good, that's good."

Li Shuguo, who had been feeling very depressed, showed a hint of surprise when he heard this.

"in addition……"

"Manager Li, did you remember what Chen told you?"

Chen Yulou thought of something again and asked.

"Of course I don't dare to forget."

Li Shuguo nodded, and slapped the long strip of black cloth behind him with his backhand, and a sound of metal and stone colliding was heard immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou's last bit of worry disappeared.

He turned around, glanced at Kunlun, and gave serious instructions.

"Kunlun, go and invite Brother Yang Fang over and tell him you have something to discuss with him."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Hearing this, Kunlun immediately agreed.

Although he didn't understand what it was, since it was the shopkeeper's order, he naturally would not refuse.

He put down the copper kettle and walked straight downstairs.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Shuguo stood up with a curious look on his face, and looked at the piece of fragrant jade behind the screen carefully.

I would touch it from time to time.

Feeling the strange gel-like texture of the jade, the amazement on his face became more and more intense.

Tsk amazed.

It didn't take much effort.

Kunlun went and came back, followed by Yang Fang who looked confused. He was wearing training clothes and there was sweat on his forehead, so he was probably practicing martial arts just now.

Chen Yulou did not waste any time and introduced Li Shuguo's identity before explaining.

"Brother Yang Fang."

"When Chen was chatting with Shopkeeper Li before, he accidentally learned that Senior Jin Suanpan had commissioned Shopkeeper Li to forge a weapon for him."

"It belongs to the tomb-raiding clan."

"And before Senior Jin Suanpan left for Longling a few years ago, perhaps because he had some concerns and was worried that he would never return, he specially left it and the account book with Manager Li."

"I asked you to come here today to return the property to its original owner."

Speaking of which.

Chen Yulou looked back at Li Shuguo, who knew what was going on. He took off the weapon from behind and uncovered the thick black cloth covering it.

Wait until everything is unpacked.

Everyone looked over there in unison.

Just discovered.

It turned out to be a long umbrella made of refined steel, with a steel frame and iron leaves.

"This... is this a diamond umbrella?!" (End of this chapter)
