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

Chapter 69: Overlord raises the cauldron, beauty brings disaster

Chapter 69: Overlord raises the cauldron, beauty brings disaster
"Only one level has been broken."

"The energy and blood have more than doubled."

He lowered his head and looked at himself silently.

Chen Yulou only had one feeling.

That is tyranny!
Every inch of his body contains an unimaginable power.

That day at Pingshan, he used his night eyes to watch a group of thieves surrounding Shan Xiezi.

Kunlun, who was standing at the front, was like a pillar of fire, rising into the sky, almost suppressing the light of the glazed lamp above his head.

But now, he is no less willing to give in.

The aura around him surged like the tide of a river, and the lights in the hall swayed uncertainly.

The lights and shadows flickered.

The dust on the beams and columns fell like snowflakes.

But as soon as it appeared outside his head, it would instantly dissipate.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier within a few meters of him.

"There is also internal refining of the five internal organs, but it's a pity that it's half a step behind."

murmured in a low voice.

Chen Yulou said it was a pity.

There was no regret at all in his expression.

One step away.

The void in front of him twisted.

It was as if there was a stream of smoke passing through the basement.

The next second, the light and shadow in the distance moved, and others had appeared outside the furnace.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He stretched out his hands, grabbed the feet of the alchemy furnace, and shouted softly. He only heard a roar, and the bronze furnace, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, slowly rose from the ground inch by inch.

Lift it until it's chest high.

He just put it down with a bang.

The carefully fired ink blue bricks could not withstand the terrifying force and fell apart.

Even, it's just the remaining energy that hasn't been used up.

The ground for a full three or four feet around was cracked.

Dense cracks spread out like a spider web.

call--

Clap your hands.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Chen Yulou's eyes.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally felt a little like practicing the great path.

His eyes are burning, his body is majestic, and he is wearing a long gown without any wind.

Just standing there gave people an extremely oppressive feeling.

but……

Mind moved.

That invisible momentum disappeared in an instant like an ebbing tide, hiding without a trace.

"I don't know how many days have passed outside."

"It's time to go out and show your face, otherwise... I'll probably go crazy."

Wait for your breath to gather.

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and murmured.

He could roughly tell that a long time had passed during this retreat.

But I really don’t have a specific number in mind for how many days.

It’s been more than half a year since I came.

He actually understands his current situation very well.

He is connected to the entire Chenjiazhuang and Changsheng Mountain. In addition, there are countless large and small families and people in the industry under the big tree of the Chen family.

It’s really not suitable to not show up for too long.

only.

It’s okay that I’m still at the Qi Refining Pass now.

He had a strong premonition that when he condensed the Aoki True Body, he would have to spend more time practicing in seclusion.

You still have to plan ahead.

Thinking all the way, Chen Yulou walked with his hands behind his back. After a while, he climbed up the stairs and appeared on the first floor.

The sun shines in through the cracks in the windows.

In the beams of light, dust floats uncertainly.

He squinted his eyes slightly to avoid the strong light.

It's not that it's dazzling, it's just that I stayed underground for too long and suddenly appeared under the scorching sun, which made me a little uncomfortable.

Shake his head and smile.

Chen Yulou didn't waste any more time and opened the door with a creak.

A wave of heat hit him instantly.

At the same time, two more exclamations came.

One is clearly visible, the other is slightly blurry.

"Shopkeeper, are you out of confinement?"

Huamaguai was still talking without saying a word.

Until the sound of opening the door sounded, others stood up and shouted in surprise and joy.

Kunlun beside him, although he could not speak, his eager expression had already revealed his emotions at the moment.

"Well, I'm out of seclusion."

Chen Yulou smiled and nodded.

"How many days until I retreat?"

"Six days... plus today's daytime."

"So long?"

Chen Yulou frowned slightly.

He thought it would only be three or two days at most.

Unexpectedly, I ended up in seclusion for five or six days without realizing it.

"Shopkeeper, you must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and ask someone to deliver a table of food."

Seeing that he was safe and sound, he was even more energetic than before.

Huamaguai's anxious heart finally fell back into her stomach, and she quickly added.

"Alright."

Listen to him.

Only then did Chen Yulou react.

No food for five or six days.

At this moment, he didn't feel too tired or hungry.

It can only be said that Qingmu Gong is indeed a method of cultivating immortals, worthy of eating rosy clouds and drinking dew, taking in Qi and eating smoke.

Of course, he is still far from being a worldly person.

Even quite greedy for oral pleasure.

Especially the contents of a cup.

Whether you have something to do or not, having a few drinks is definitely one of the great joys in life.

"Kunlun, the shopkeeper, I will be in seclusion for six days. You won't follow suit and stay here all the time, right?"

Wait until Huamaguai leaves in a hurry.

Chen Yulou suddenly turned around and his eyes fell on Kunlun's honest face.

Almost forgot about him.

This guy is stubborn and stubborn.

As long as it's what you're told, you'll have to do it even if you risk getting hurt.

Moreover, he was still wearing the same clothes as that day, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't hide his tiredness.

This possibility is not small.

Kunlun shook his head repeatedly.

He gestured with his hand and pointed to the wall on one side.

"Still silly and happy."

Seeing that he was still smiling to himself, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh and curse.

"Is your boy dying?"

To be honest, he was both angry and moved by Kunlun.

Six days.

He just stood guard outside the door.

He could almost imagine what it was like these days.

Guaizi and Honggu must have come to persuade me during this period.

But he wouldn't take a step. He would eat when he was hungry and take a nap against the wall when he was sleepy.

"Silly, you can't do this again."

Stepping forward and patting him on the shoulder, Chen Yulou said deliberately with a straight face.

Kunlun has the innocence and transparency of a child.

So there is almost a natural sense of good and evil.

If he doesn't put the point in his words, he won't take it seriously and will continue to do so next time.

Kunlun's eyes widened. Seeing the serious look on the shopkeeper's face, his face tensed up and he nodded heavily.

"Are you sleepy?"

I saw him hesitantly shaking his head and then nodding.

Chen Yulou was even more helpless.

In a prosperous world, there would still be room for people like him to survive.

But now that chaos has arisen in the world and wars continue, in such troubled times, his character will only make people eat up the bones and dregs.

"By the way, you haven't forgotten what you told me last time, right?"

"I'll ask Uncle Yu to find a teacher for you later, so you can learn to read and write first."

Upon hearing this, Kunlun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Before, he was worried that the shopkeeper would forget.

Unexpectedly, he kept it in mind.

"Literacy is only the first step. In addition, you must also learn to distinguish between good and evil. This is a cannibal world. If it is always like this, you will easily suffer when you go out."

Chen Yulou said calmly.

But after hearing this, Kunlun's face suddenly became anxious.

It seemed like he could read his mind.

Chen Yulou waved his hand, "The shopkeeper doesn't mean to drive you away, just a reminder."

In other words, if someone else had stayed in a bandit den like Changsheng Mountain for more than ten years, he would have been soaked in the dye vat.

Of course, this is also the reason why Chen Yulou trusts him.

He really wants to be cunning and do all kinds of evil.

He had already kicked her down the mountain, so how could she still carry her with her all the time?

There is what he added later.

Kunlun became quiet again.

He has no ambitions and ambitions, as long as he can follow the shopkeeper.

He still remembers it to this day.

If the shopkeeper hadn't brought him back, he would have died in the mountains.

While talking.

Huamaguai has returned.

"Let's go into the building."

Chen Yulou greeted, then turned around and walked straight into the building.

Kunlun followed quickly.

Wait to be seated on the second floor.

Not long after, a group of good-looking girls came over holding jade plates in their hands.

At a glance, they are all teenage girls.

They have a delicate figure and outstanding appearance. I dare not say that their flowers and moonlight are stunning, but they are still beauties.

They were all adopted by the Chen family.

These days, although I haven't reached the point where I am hungry enough to change my son for food.

However, in the past few years due to natural and man-made disasters, countless families have been destroyed and displaced.

There are countless people selling their sons and daughters.

Chenjiazhuang is one of the largest households in Xiangyin.

I don’t know how many people sent their children to Zhuangzi to be slaves or maids, just hoping to survive.

only.

‘Chen Yulou’ is not obsessed with women.

It’s not good to just let them starve to death.

So she stayed in Zhuangzi, either doing some fine work as a prostitute or serving as a maid by his side.

Now I look at the group of warblers and swallows, each with its own beauty.

The sound is like the cry of an oriole, which is so shy and delicious.

Chen Yulou's Taoist heart, which was devoted to cultivating immortality, was almost corroded and destroyed.

"Why don't you come and serve the shopkeeper's meal?"

Just when he hesitated.

Huamaguai immediately played the role of a complete loser and greeted with a smile.

The girls were startled at first.

Then people gathered around him with expressions of surprise. In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass.

Especially girls like them who have nothing to rely on, like rootless duckweeds.

Looking good will only become a danger.

Most of them have been in the village for seven or eight years, and some of them have been in the village for three or four years.

But on weekdays, apart from serving tea and water, there is nothing else.

The current shopkeeper, Feng Shen Junyi, had never married a wife at that time.

In Zhuangzi, who is not interested in any pretty girl?
Now, who would miss such a good opportunity?
If they can get into the eyes of the shopkeeper, their status will jump up when they become pregnant.

The eldest young lady of the Chen family.

Thinking of this, the smiles on the faces of the girls never disappeared.

"Master, this is the truffle that was just delivered. Please try this."

"Shopkeeper, let me give you a squeeze on your shoulders."

"This is the newly brewed rice wine just delivered by shopkeeper Liu of Quanzhenlou. Let me feed it to you."

"..."

in a blink.

Chen Yulou was surrounded by a gust of fragrant wind.

The orioles and swallows are beautiful, the ring is fat and the swallows are thin, the beauty is twenty-eight years old, it is intoxicating.

Damn it, no wonder they say it’s hard for a hero to be a beauty. Who can control this scene?
Leaning on the lounge chair, several girls held fans and fanned him gently.

There are all kinds of delicacies at the opening of your mouth, and drinks are brought to you at the wave of your hand.

All are top-notch ingredients.

The best chef in Xiangyin cooked for him.

Even with more than a hundred years of vision, he has never heard of many ingredients.

Deer tail, bear paws, and foie gras can only be regarded as ordinary dishes.

Kunlun on the side had long been dumbfounded.

He originally wanted to sit down and eat, but now he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

Huamaguai secretly greeted him.

Signing to follow him downstairs.

Kunlun was hesitating to leave.

Chen Yulou, who was leaning on the recliner, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Okay, let's all get down."

Huamaguai, who had originally planned to step forward and pull Kunlun away, was stunned for a moment, her heart filled with bitterness.

He wanted the shopkeeper to keep them all.

At least he left an heir for the Chen family.

There is an heir.

In this way, the Chen family can truly last forever.

After all, this business of reverse fighting is unlike other businesses. The shopkeeper always takes the lead and never cares about comforting the danger.

just in case……

What happened?

The huge Chen family would collapse in one fell swoop.

However, he also knew that the shopkeeper's personality was not something that happened temporarily.

He stopped and saw that the girls also looked disappointed, so he waved his hands.

"As ordered by the shopkeeper."

"Go down."

After hearing this, a group of girls did not dare to refuse. They saluted Shi Shiran and then left reluctantly.

Until there were only three people left in the building.

Chen Yulou then breathed out.

"Depraved."

"So damn depraved."

Grandma's, I almost couldn't control it.

It's not that he has no thoughts.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

He also has passions.

Especially now that there is a soul from later generations in that body, who has never experienced such enjoyment.

but……

Compared to the beauty.

Chen Yulou understood one thing more.

Now that I have just come out of seclusion, my state is not yet stable.

If you just spend time, drink and live unscrupulously, it will be almost impossible to go far on the road of cultivating immortality.

What's more, I can't even resist this temptation.

He is invaded by inner demons.

Or, after experiencing three disasters and nine calamities, wouldn’t it turn into ashes in an instant?
"Shopkeeper, why did you drive people away?"

Huamaguai rubbed her hands and asked cautiously.

"You came to me for something, didn't you?"

Chen Yulou waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

"Oh...yes, I almost forgot about the big thing."

After being reminded by him, Huamaguai finally remembered the purpose of this trip.

Don't care about anything else.

He took out a document and handed it to Chen Yulou.

"Shopkeeper, this is the plan I discussed with the heads of various channels and the store uncle. You can take a look at it."

"it is good."

Listen to him talk about it.

Chen Yulou did not dare to delay.

After all, when it comes to making money, having a wealthy partner and the right place comes first in cultivation.

The master opened it and read it carefully word for word.

The people who can participate in the discussion on the sale of Mingqi are at least Dao and Fucheng level shopkeepers.

They are active in the bustling city all year round, and the people they cooperate with are all wealthy people.

This thought right now.

The objects of Mingqi are not as strict as those of later generations.

There are countless antique shops, auctions, and various forms of black markets.

Chen Yulou took a look and suddenly found a familiar yet unfamiliar name.

"Who is this Hendry?"

After a long list of names, he only stated the province where he was located.

It is the city of Changsha.

It is now the capital of Hunan Province.

"Oh, this man is a missionary from the Catholic Church. He spends a lot of money and is very interested in antiques and artifacts. Every time there is an auction or black market, he will be invited to participate."

Although Huamaguai is in Xiangyin all year round.

But it’s a treasure trove.

When the shopkeeper asked, he immediately explained.

"American?"

"should be."

"Can you remember your full name?"

Chen Yulou always felt that he had seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"I heard Uncle Miki say it once."

"It's like he's called Toss Hendry or something."

Huamaguai frowned. He had always hated those foreign names.

The name itself is long and difficult to remember.

Even if you follow the local customs and choose a Chinese name, the result will always be difficult to pronounce.

He complained privately more than once that those foreign devils didn't know how to find a scholar.

But what.

He doesn't have to deal with them anyway.

Just remember one or two words.

"Thomas?!"

Chen Yulou frowned and slowly spit out a name.

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper seems to be the one you mentioned."

Huamaguai was still racking his brains thinking.

When I heard these three words, I felt like a light flashed through my heart.

"Thomas...is interesting."

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

He really never thought that he would hear his name so soon.

During the Republic of China, many missionaries came to China from overseas.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to this name alone.

It was because this person was the one who entered Xixia Blackwater City together with Partridge Whistle and Elder Liaochen.

Just extrapolating according to the timeline.

Now, he should be heading to Mobei as an explorer.

Why does it appear in Changsha City?
perhaps……

Chen Yulou thought of a possibility.

Thomas was perhaps the earliest missionary.

However, among the antique artifacts that he came into contact with, he accidentally discovered the ruins of Blackwater City, and then he decided to go to Mobei to try to find the legendary Xixia treasure.

"The shopkeeper?"

Seeing him suddenly fall into silence.

Huamaguai thought that she had done something wrong, and couldn't help but feel a little on pins and needles.

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

"what?"

Chen Yulou was startled at first, and then he laughed dumbly.

If it had been in the past, he would have ignored it.

but now……

"Write a letter to Uncle Sanmu to kick this person out, and also send me an order that the Chen family's shop is no longer allowed to sell bright weapons to this person."

Chen Yulou said coldly.

He had no problem with Thomas.

But these days, countless antiques are lost overseas.

The dragon talisman and fish talisman he was looking for were actually taken out of the sea a few years ago.

However, perhaps because of Guixu's spirit, the ship encountered strong winds in the South China Sea, and the entire ship capsized and sank into the deep sea.

Instead, two bronze talismans disappeared for countless years.

It sank into the land of Guixu again.

I have to say, this can be regarded as God’s will.

Thomas is a generous person who travels to various auctions. With a little thought, you can guess his identity.

He was clearly an antique dealer who used his status as a missionary to collect artifacts.

There are a lot of good things on this trip to Pingshan.

If you are targeted by him.

There is absolutely only one ending.

"Okay, shopkeeper, I've written it down."

Although Huamaguai didn't know what he meant.

But he still responded honestly.

"By the way, let Uncle Miki check for me. Is there anyone named Jude Kao in those Catholic churches?"
