Chapter 130 Yuanying Zhenjun's Treasures

After explaining to Lu Yan, He Dongsheng took the initiative to leave first, leaving space for Lu Yan and Chu Zhuoqun to discuss.

The deputy director of the personnel department of the Archaeological Association looked at Lu Yan and said with a smile:
"Master Mu has always been like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

However, once Master Mu agrees to something, he will not change his mind or regret it later, so Mr. Lu can rest assured about joining the association."

Lu Yan nodded and asked curiously:

"I just heard Master Mu talking about something like the main vein. Minister Chu, please help me clear it up."

Chu Zhuoqun looked hesitant, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Yan's voice.

"Invest another million!"

Chu Zhuoqun trembled, and quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Invest another two million!"

Chu Zhuoqun's expression changed again, and he changed the subject and said:

"Actually, this isn't really a secret. I'll just tell Mr. Lu about it as an interesting story."

“Our Federal Archaeological Association has a long tradition, which can be traced back to the saints thousands of years ago.

As time went by, the Archaeological Association experienced several ups and downs. In order to maintain the survival of the Archaeological Association, the predecessors divided the Archaeological Association into main branches and branches.

The many main branches of the Archaeological Association are responsible for inheriting many ancient archaeological books and secret collections, and are responsible for research on the history of ancient civilizations and Feng Shui theories.

The branches are responsible for imparting relatively basic knowledge, raising funds for the Archaeological Association, and handling various matters. "

Lu Yan nodded imperceptibly.

This distinction between the main vein and the branch veins is exactly the sect system of Taiyi Sect in the fairy-tale version.

The only difference is that in the fairy-xia version, the main lineage of the Taiyi Sect focuses on passing on the Dharma, that is, inheriting the Taiyi Sect's Taoist classics, Feng Shui methods, and Tianyan formations, but is relatively weak in the practice of magic.

Although the branches also practice Feng Shui and need to rely on excavating ruins and secret places for practice, they are more responsible for protecting the law. Whether it is practice or supernatural powers, they are mainly used to kill enemies and protect themselves.

But when he said this, Chu Zhuoqun's expression changed slightly.

“This rule was maintained until several decades ago, when the Archaeological Association was still called the Feng Shui and Yixue Research Association, and the Thirteen Main Veins were the main focus of the association.

In fact, over the past thousands of years, the main lineage has mastered the most profound inherited skills and has a deep reputation in the archaeological community. Although its population is sparse, its influence crushes the branch lines.

However, as the times progressed and we entered a modern urban society, the rise of various industries and technological development have impacted the archaeological community. Although the main lineage is still there, it is unable to regain its former influence.

At the same time, due to the concept of financial society, the value of currency has become increasingly important. Whether it is daily archaeological research or going out to investigate the ruins of a large tomb, money is needed to pave the way. Over time, the status of branches has gradually become prominent.

Today, the branch has taken a dominant position in the association, and the main branch has almost nothing left except a name."

Chu Zhuoqun’s words surprised Lu Yan a little.

The relationship between the main vein and the branch veins in the urban version, to some extent, also represents the attitudes between the main vein and the branch veins in the fairy-tale version.

"Are there conflicts among the various factions within the Taiyi Sect?"

As soon as this question got out, it became big news that shocked the entire cultivation world.

You can find it in the urban version by spending a little money.

Just as Lu Yan was marveling at this and secretly wondering if he could gain any benefit from this, Chu Zhuoqun pulled out a document from his briefcase.

"This is the 'Membership Certificate of the Federal Archaeological Association'. If you sign it, you will be considered a member of our Federal Archaeological Association."

Lu Yan took the document, glanced through it, and then signed his name.

In the urban version, Lu Yan was not afraid of any traps. After signing, Lu Yan took out a check, wrote down five million in front of Chu Zhuoqun's expectant eyes, and handed it to the other party.

Chu Zhuoqun took the check with a smile on his face and said to Lu Yan:

"I'll go register Mr. Lu first. If you have similar requirements, you can contact me in advance at any time."

After saying that, Chu Zhuoqun left the cafe.

Having finally solved the problem of his identity, Lu Yan did not stay in the cafe for long and left.

Walking out of the coffee shop, Lu Yan saw Mu Chunqiu and He Dongsheng waiting outside.

Lu Yan had expected He Dongsheng to be here, but he was a little surprised that Mu Chunqiu was still here.

"Master Mu, Brother He."

Lu Yan nodded and greeted the two of them.

He Dongsheng said with a smile on his face:
"Brother Lu, don't be restrained. Master is waiting for you here to express his gratitude to Brother Lu."

Mu Chunqiu rolled his eyes at He Dongsheng in annoyance: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Then, Mu Chunqiu's face turned serious and he said:

"Dongsheng has a deep fortune, but he is destined to suffer many disasters. Most people with this kind of fate will die young, and few can survive the crisis.

You have helped Dongsheng many times, and even risked your life to save him in the United States. You can be considered Dongsheng's lucky star.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to accept Dongsheng as my successor."

"In return, you may choose one item from my personal treasure trove as reward."

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat, but he refused on the surface:
"I saved Brother He just because we got along well, and the things he gave me in the United States also helped me a lot.

Master Mu had tacitly allowed me to join the Archaeology Association, which was a favor to me. How could I dare to ask for his treasure?"

The satisfaction on Mu Chunqiu's face deepened, and he waved his hand and said:
"Your joining the Archaeological Association was a deal between you and Chu Zhuoqun, and I had nothing to do with it.

Even if I reject you, you can still join the association. This matter has little to do with me."

He Dongsheng on the side cheerfully advised:
"Brother Lu, don't be fooled by the fact that my master's attire is not very eye-catching, but in terms of wealth, you may not be able to compare with my master. It's just that many of his things are passed down from his ancestors and cannot be sold."

"Guess how old my master is now?"

Lu Yan looked at Mu Chunqiu, who looked to be in his forties or fifties at most, so he gave an uncertain answer.

"Forty-five?"

"Master has a very good way of maintaining his youthful appearance. He is already 103 years old!"

Lu Yan's expression was instantly moved.

No one knows better than Lu Yan the special features of the urban version. This is a world without any supernatural powers.

In the urban version, it is rare to live over a hundred years old, let alone still maintain the appearance of a middle-aged person after a hundred years.

“Even a Jindan Zhenren cannot do this.

So, Mu Chunqiu is a Yuanying Zhenjun?"

"Then the private collection he promised, isn't it the treasure of a Yuanying Zhenjun?"
