Is this girl cultivating immortality? Yunling finds out!

Chapter 9 Beauty Pass

Fang Hongyi and Liao Zhongnan, who were standing outside the courtyard gate, poked their heads out to the left and right, looking into the courtyard.

Suddenly, Lu Yu was invited into the house by Fang Ningyu. The two looked at each other in surprise.

"Although Yu'er is usually a bit willful and rude to me, once she meets someone she truly admires, she will become much more polite."

Fang Hongyi thought to himself:
"It seems that Mr. Lu is indeed extraordinary!"

Liao Zhongnan didn't think so much.

He was only thinking about the fact that after Lu Yu had condensed Fang Ningyu's soul, he did Fang Hongyi a favor.

The next step is to consider how to convert this favor into spirit stones.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Fang Hongyi ask:
"Old Liao, what sect or school did Mr. Lu follow?"

Liao Zhongnan knew everything and replied:
"This nephew Lu is the beloved disciple of an old friend of mine, and he comes from the Hedao Sect of Beizhou."

"Oh? Beizhou's is good! Not bad."

Fang Hongyi was secretly delighted when he heard this.

This northern continent is remote and has scarce resources.

There are only two or three sects with strong strength, and they all act low-key and rarely participate in wars in other continents.

Since Lu Yu is from Beizhou, there will be no pressure for him to poach him.

Fang Hongyi held Liao Zhongnan's shoulders and said sincerely:
"Old Liao, how about doing me a favor later?"

"City Lord Fang, please give your orders."

Liao Zhongnan quickly responded.

"Well, please ask Mr. Xiao Lu if he is interested in staying in my City Lord's Mansion and becoming a guest."

"Guest official?!"

Liao Zhongnan's eyes were full of surprise.

You must know that Wancheng is an important city in Dongzhou, and there are countless resources and secret places within its jurisdiction.

The City Lord's Mansion was the heart of Wancheng. Comparing the City Lord to a local tyrant was no exaggeration.

Now that he heard that Fang Hongyi actually intended to take Lu Yu into the mansion and even gave him the position of guest official, it was no wonder that Liao Zhongnan was so surprised.

Fang Hongyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the closed door in the courtyard, and said lightly:

"Not to mention his attainments in formations, the fact that he can cross the border to incarnate the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is enough to make him worthy of the position of guest official."

After all, Liao Zhongnan was an old man with a sharp mind. After a little thought, he came to his senses.

The number of cultivators under Fang Hongyi's command ranged from the Golden Core stage to the Qi Refining stage, numbering at least a hundred.

Among them, the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage account for the largest proportion.

If Lu Yu could stay in the mansion and help these female cultivators in the foundation-building stage to cultivate their souls,
It can not only improve the overall strength of the City Lord's Mansion, but also serve as a gimmick to attract independent cultivators and recruit talents for the City Lord's Mansion.

No wonder Fang Hongyi had such a big reaction when he heard that Lu Yu could cross borders to accumulate spirits.

It turns out that the drunkard's real intention is not to drink.

Asking Lu Yu to come over for treatment is secondary; the main purpose is to recruit him.

"As expected of a city lord, your calculations are even more sophisticated than mine!"

Liao Zhongnan glanced at Fang Hongyi, then his eyes turned and he started to make a plan in his mind:
"I paid a huge price to invite Lu Yu out of seclusion, and you want to take advantage of him for free? No! At least let me get some benefits!"

Liao Zhongnan's mind turned over and over, and he had an idea.
"City Lord Fang, my nephew Lu is probably not going to be able to stay here!"

Liao Zhongnan made it difficult.

"Oh? Even the guest officials can't keep him? Why?"

Fang Hongyi was suddenly surprised. The monthly salary for this guest official position was five high-grade spirit stones.

You can also enter and exit the secret realm of Wancheng at will, and browse the classics in the library.

If you become a staff member in the future, you can directly call upon the resources in the city!

Such generous treatment can't attract him?

Fang Hongyi was full of doubts, but Liao Zhongnan sighed and explained:

"City Master Fang must have heard of this—this Northern Continent cultivator never liked to go out into the world, preferring to practice in seclusion within the sect." "Yes, I have heard of it."

Fang Hongyi nodded and said:

"It seems that two years ago, those Northern Continent cultivators even gave this type of practice a nickname - home cultivation."

"good."

Liao Zhongnan continued:
"It's a coincidence that the term 'renovation of a house' first came to be known by my nephew Lu."

"Ah, isn't that right?"

Fang Hongyi had a bad feeling.

Liao Zhongnan nodded heavily and said:
"City Lord Fang is right. My nephew Lu is the master of the house! He refuses to leave the sect no matter what!"

Fang Hongyi felt a headache when he heard this, and Liao Zhongnan continued:

"In order to invite him to Wancheng, I offered a high price of 300 spirit stones, but it still failed to impress him."

"Hey, you're not willing to leave the sect even with three hundred spirit stones? This Mr. Lu is such a homebody?"

Fang Hongyi was deeply puzzled by this concept of "home renovation".

If he were to be trapped in the house all day long and unable to go anywhere, he would get sick sooner or later!
But then he was stunned and asked doubtfully:
"Then how did you finally invite him to Wancheng?"

"It's about affection!"

Liao Zhongnan said solemnly:

"My old friend is my nephew Lu's master. He not only taught me, but also saved my life.

His master happened to owe me a favor, so he treated my nephew Lu as a disciple and asked him to leave the sect."

“Oh, I see.”

Fang Hongyi nodded in realization after hearing this:

"Old Liao, it seems your old friend is also a friend worth making close friends with. Just for a favor in the past, he called his beloved disciple to come from afar. He truly values ​​friendship and loyalty!"

Liao Zhongnan nodded lightly, looking as if he was reminiscing about the past, with his face raised to the sky, as if he was reminiscing about his old friends.

But his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, his teeth were clenched, and he said angrily in his heart:
"You old bastard! You owe me over 500 spirit stones and you won't pay me back! You keep saying you have no money! You won't call Lu Yu over until I settle the debt! If I run into you again, I'll kill you!"

Liao Zhongnan silently greeted his old friend in his heart.

But at this time, Fang Hongyi regarded Lu Yu as a young genius who was indifferent to fame and fortune, independent of others, but also loyal and grateful.

When Fang Hongyi thought about how he couldn't keep such a talented person, he couldn't help but look regretful and sigh.

Liao Zhongnan stole a glance at Fang Hongyi, and feeling that the cooking time was almost right, he smacked his lips and murmured softly:
"But I did think of a way to keep him here."

"oh?!"

Fang Hongyi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately became alert and asked:
"What method?"

Liao Zhongnan took a step forward and whispered mysteriously:

"My nephew Lu is young after all. Although he doesn't seek fame or fortune, since he is young, he always has other pursuits."

"Other pursuits?"

Fang Hongyi was stunned and didn't understand:
"Old Liao, don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!"

Liao Zhongnan grinned and said slowly:

"As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman."

"beauty??"

Fang Hongyi opened his mouth, and subconsciously thought of something. His face changed drastically and he said angrily:

"Old Liao! Although I want to recruit Lu Yu, I won't sacrifice my precious daughter! What a bullshit idea!"

"Hey hey hey, no! No!"

Liao Zhongnan hurriedly explained:

"When did I say your daughter? I was talking about my wife's junior sister - Bai Xiaotang!"
