The Eternal World

Landlord's Residence.

He still had some status, after all, the person in charge of the torture chamber had dug out a lot of secrets from the captured Half Demon Continent.

By virtue of this, his status had risen greatly, and he had gained the favor of Emissary Lu.

No matter what, the work he did was still an unranked profession, but the merits of it were obvious to see.

As a result, after bringing Zhang Chao into Emissary Lu's mansion, there were simply no servants who came to stop him. Instead, they greeted him very politely, and no one bothered to ask who Zhang Chao was.

In this way, they were able to travel unhindered. Soon, they arrived at the study door of the outer palace.

"Subordinate... "Greetings, old master!" Pozi was standing respectfully outside the door of the study.

"Well, is it a slope?" "Come in!" An aged voice came from inside.

The voice was weak, from the sound of it, Zhang Chao knew that the person's body wasn't in a good condition, it should be in a state where he was old and weak, with both his vital energy and blood being lost.

"That's me!" Pao Zi quickly replied.

"Yes, what's the matter? This old man is not feeling well, just say it directly if you have something to say! " As he spoke, he violently coughed a few times.

"It's like this. There's an important guest who wants to meet you and discuss some business with you!" Slope looked around warily, then lowered his voice.

"Let's talk about it another day. This old man is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see anyone!" Lu Li refused.

"This …" Just as he was about to say something else, Zhang Chao patted his shoulder, and then took a step forward and said: "Outside of you, Lu, if I'm not wrong, your distinguished self is suffering from heart failure, lack of kidney water, strong liver and stomach, and is unable to match up with your surroundings, so your entire body is weak, cold, and you will not be able to recover from coughing for a long time."

"Even if you take the medicine to calm your mind and rest, because your lifespan is almost up and your body's functions can no longer be adjusted or recovered, no matter what medicine you take, it won't be able to cause any improvement in your condition. On the contrary, because the medicine is a three-way poison, and the poison is stored in your body and cannot be discharged, it will cause your illness to become even more serious!"

After saying that, Zhang Chao no longer spoke, and waited quietly with his mouth shut.

The study room was silent for a long time. Soon after, a trembling voice came from outside the room. "Slap, bring in the esteemed guest!"

He gave Zhang Chao a big thumbs up, then pushed open the door and entered.

Within the study, the atmosphere was tense.

On one of the tables, there was a book on medicinal manuals. An old man in his twilight years sat beside him.

The old man was dressed extravagantly, but he had a head full of white hair. The wrinkles on his face were intertwined. His face was sallow and skinny, and his body was extremely weak.

Although there were still some Yuan Power undulations on his body, it was already extremely weak, as if it could disappear at any time. A thick aura of death lingered around him without dispersing.

"Old master!" The slope bowed deeply towards the outside.

"No need for formalities!" Landlord waved his hand outside, then started to size Zhang Chao up.

His eyes were cloudy, but filled with surprise.

Who would have thought that the person in front of them would actually be so young?

"Sir … It looks really unfamiliar! " He spoke slowly after a long while.

"I am not someone from the Lanling Continent!" Zhang Chao cupped his fists slightly.

"Oh? Could it be … Half Demon Continent... " Hearing this, Landlord Lu's pupils suddenly dilated. He stood up abruptly while the elemental energy in his body began throbbing.

Other than you do not need to be nervous, I am not a person of the Half Demon Continent. To be more precise, I do not belong to the the Fifth Heaven Domain! Zhang Chao smiled slightly.

He could already tell that Administrator Lu's cultivation was at the same level as his Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. However, because he was old, all of his potential had been used up. Even at the end of his life, he could not advance any further.

"It doesn't belong to the Fifth Heaven Domain?" Steward Lu was stunned upon hearing his words.

Zhang Chao released a bit of spirit force and used the Golden Light Curse, but in that moment, he hid his cultivation once again.

"Golden Light Curse!" Unlike Li Zi, who had never seen much of the world, Lu Yuan knew a lot of things.

Upon seeing the Golden Light Curse, he was stunned at first, but then he dispersed his spirit energy and cupped his hands and bowed towards Zhang Chao: "The experts of the sect have come here, I am sorry to fail to entertain you!"

"Daoist Sect?" Hearing that, Sans opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Chao in disbelief.

He felt that this Zhang Chao was definitely an expert, and had personally witnessed his artifact forging skills, but he didn't know that the golden light … It was the legendary Golden Light Curse that only the direct descendants of the Dao could learn!

"This old man is being too courteous!" Zhang Chao smiled as he returned the greeting.

"Please sit, please sit! "Pi Zi, go and inform the servants to prepare the best tea for the banquet and to entertain them!" Landlord Lu ordered.

"There's no need to do this!" Zhang Chao immediately waved his hand: "Everything is as it is, other than the few of us, I don't want anyone else to know that I am here!"

"Ugh …" "Then why?" Lu Li was puzzled.

"I hope that this old man can forgive my intentions!" Zhang Chao sighed.

"Good, since that's the case … Then let's just follow what the others have said! " Lu Li nodded and sat down.

Regarding the term 'lord', Zhang Chao was not unfamiliar with it.

Under normal circumstances, the people of the outside world would call the experts of the daoists either 'master' or 'real person'. Although Zhang Chao was not a cultivator of the daoists, but since he had already revealed his identity and Golden Light Curse, he could only allow them to understand as they pleased, not bother to explain.

"I wonder what your highness is thinking …" Landlord Lu didn't quite understand Zhang Chao's intentions.

"Old master, it's like this..." Without waiting for Zhang Chao to speak, he explained the entire sequence of events.

"Oh, it's actually going to be like this. Hmph, I knew those guards were all stupid and stupid. If this goes on, sooner or later, that bastard Old Zhao will not even be able to sit in his seat as the Mayor!" Lu Li was infuriated when he heard this.

"Eh, Old Seven Zhao?" The corner of Zhang Chao's eyes twitched.

This name … This was not just a normal ground connection!

"Forget it, it's over now. This is perfect..." Zhang Chao carelessly waved his hand: "This time, I came here to make a deal with you!"

"Trade?" Landlord shook his head, "I don't have much time left. I don't have much interest in doing business!"

"Don't worry, I specialize in pill forging. If you were to say that... Do you think that the pill that can be refined to extend your lifespan is part of the deal? " Zhang Chao licked his lips. He had already told them the location of the external injuries. Under such circumstances, even if it was an ordinary doctor or an alchemist, they would not be able to do anything about it.

"What?" Really? Is that true? " Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes lit up and he stood up in excitement.

"It's not a big problem!" Zhang Chao said in a straightforward manner: "Moreover, not only is refining pills, equipment refining is also within my grasp. Let me ask you, how much profit can a high-grade Heaven-ranked treasure bring you?"

Zhang Chao knew that High-grade heaven-step magic treasure s were like divine artifacts to cultivators with In the field of humanity.

After all, treasures like these were normally controlled by a small number of experts in the sage realm, and most of them were collected by the existences of the domain of kingly dao. If he said that he could refine them, then it would be too shocking, going against his plan to keep a low profile.

"Heavens …" High-grade Heaven-ranked! " Landlord Lu's whole body shuddered. He almost failed to catch his breath and passed out.

He had once sold a High-grade heaven-step magic treasure from an ancient tomb, and it was precisely because of that artifact that he had established his current strong family property.

It had already been several hundred years, and the profits from that magical equipment had yet to be used up.

"A High-grade heaven-step magic treasure... Furthermore, there is a miraculous medicine that can cure me … This … What kind of terrifying price do I have to pay? " He was originally a businessman, so he immediately thought of this problem.

"Not a single one. You will be responsible for providing the materials required for refining. I can promise to refine ten of them for you!" Zhang Chao shook his finger and said.

"Ten pieces!" Landlord Lu nearly vomited a mouthful of blood. His body swayed, and a slope nearby quickly supported him.

The temptation was too great.

It was like a pie falling from the sky.

However, with such a huge temptation, he had to pay the price ….

He no longer dared to imagine it.

"Actually it's simple, I know that you have a lot of connections outside, so I wanted to use your contacts to help me find the whereabouts of two people in Lanling Continent!" Zhang Chao smiled slightly.

"Uh, inquiring about the whereabouts of two people? "Is that all?" Steward Lu was stunned upon hearing his words.

"Right, that's all!" Zhang Chao nodded.

"No, nothing else?"

"Gone!"

"This... The two of them were … Enemy? Or a friend? " Landlord asked unconsciously.

"Both!" Zhang Chao's answer was extremely clever.

"Um... If that was the case … As long as Master does as you say, this old man will promise you, even if you flip the entire Lanling Continent over, you will definitely help Master Ming Dong to find these two people, unless they are no longer above the Lanling Continent! " Lu Li was breathing rapidly. After calming down for a long time, he said his vow.

"Haha, good, then how about we make a deal?" Zhang Chao laughed out loud. Seems like he succeeded in his plan.

Steward Lu also stretched out his hand and held it with Zhang Chao's. Even if it was this deal, it was already a deal.

After that, Emissary Lu immediately sent people to buy the materials provided by Zhang Chao.

Among these materials, there were people who refined weapons and also those who concocted pills.

However, due to the presence of forces other than the Lu Corporation, no one would doubt his purchase of these items.

Even if all of these things were extremely expensive and rare, for the richest man in Riverside City, buying them would not be difficult at all.

As for Zhang Chao, he had been settled down in Steward Lu's Outer Palace.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

This was not a rare occurrence, so no one in the outer court would suspect anything.

Two days later, Zhang Chao began to refine pills. Moreover, the portraits of the Poison Man and Emperor Imoortal, were also spread among the elites selected from outside, using their own underground powers …
