Chapter 4 Hidden Dragon
Dragon City, Chu Family Mansion

"No."

"Neither does this."

"Could it be that both Daddy and Mommy have been deceived?"

"These auspicious treasures, big shells, hawksbill turtles, corals, don't they have any luck at all?"

Chu Wujiang returned to the Chu Mansion from Guiku Ridge, while his uncle chose to act separately and go to the Chamber of Commerce to investigate Chu Zhiyuan's information.

The old butler originally wanted to give the young master a welcome dinner.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang ordered the old butler to find all the family's antiques and auspicious objects.

Because this is a necessary resource for cheating, he needs to absorb the luck.

Just a huge disappointment.

No matter whether it is a three-foot coral or a night-shining pearl, neither can provide any luck.

There was no reaction after touching it.

Seeing this, the old butler said:

"Sir, are you looking for the auspicious weapon?"

"These are all useless scum."

"It's just that the madam and the master don't want to sell it and cheat people."

At night, the old butler directed his men to move the antiques in the house one by one to Chu Wujiang, letting him touch them a few times before moving them back.

After a few rounds of tossing and turning, the old butler seemed to understand Chu Wujiang's intention.

Chu Wujiang asked hurriedly.

"Why?"

The Chu family is a noble family. Although their title is not high, just [Marquis of Longcheng County], they have been operating in Longcheng for more than 500 years.

The antique jade artifacts left by our ancestors, even if they are fake, are still antiques today.

How could it be useless?
The old butler said with some regret:

"Young Master, do you remember that every year when the death calamity comes, the master and the mistress will invite the Taoist priests of the Zhelong Sect to come and use auspicious objects to perform the secret method of borrowing luck."

"This secret method can only borrow temporary luck and will destroy the auspicious sign itself. The effect is short-lived."

"Even the five precious weapons in the Chu Mansion were consumed in this way."

Chu Wujiang finally reacted.

He suffered from a fatal disease, but he was able to survive until the age of sixteen thanks to his family's strong fortune.

The huge Chu family used all their savings of more than 500 years to buy various secret treasures.

The secret treasure could only hold out for a while, as rounds of bleeding finally drained away the wealth of the noble family that had existed for hundreds of years.

This is like the ICU in the previous life, where money can be exchanged for life.

Even ordinary wealthy people may not be able to afford it.

The root cause of the Chu family's fortune [decline] lies here.

The family really couldn't bear it anymore, so they tried a desperate measure and believed the sloppy Taoist's method of faking their own death and deceiving God.

Chu Wujiang was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle Fu, is there enough money and food at home?"

Uncle Fu was the old butler's name. He did not dare to hide anything and told the truth:
"Don't worry, Master. Mr. Xiao just sent some silver yesterday. The money and food in the mansion can last until the autumn harvest."

"When the manors send us money and food, we can at least get through this year."

"Young Master, you have practiced martial arts, so you still have the corresponding resources."

“It’s just not generous.”

Having enough food and clothing is fine, but wasting is not.

Every year, most of the money and food is spent on maintaining the dignity of the noble family and training the servants.

Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment and slowly replied:
"Then sell all this waste, it should be able to exchange for a lot of money."

"We tell buyers that they have no auspicious effects and can only be used as playthings."

Whether an auspicious object becomes waste or not depends entirely on its charm.

It's useless if your luck is sucked away.

There are so many auspicious items on the market that it is difficult to tell the real from the fake.

The old butler paused and said hesitantly.

"At first, the Madam advised the Master to exchange some money, but the Master said that once it was put on the market, people would still say it was a treasure."

"It's better to leave it alone."

Now it was Chu Wujiang's turn to be stunned.

Yes, even if he said he has no luck.

When these waste residues flow into the market, merchants package them and sell them as auspicious objects.

Most people can't see it.

Chu Wujiang sighed.

"Forget it, just keep swinging back."

I have survived by relying on auspicious objects, and now I have to sell fake goods and harm others, which really makes me feel guilty.

Let’s talk about it when we can’t even make ends meet.

"Yes, sir." The old butler showed an expression of as expected, and then added:
"If you really want something auspicious."

"There's another one at home that might be useful."

"It's just that I don't know whether I should speak or not."

The old butler seemed hesitant, and Chu Wujiang immediately asked:
"Uncle Fu, please speak."

"If there's any problem, I'll take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the old butler slowly spoke:

"The auspicious sign that this old servant is talking about."

"That was the edict that the saint conferred the title of nobility on the Chu family more than 500 years ago."

Chu Wujiang suddenly realized.

Why is the Chu family in this situation?
Because the ancestors of the Chu family once followed the saint [Emperor Hao] to encircle and suppress the [Emperor Wu] of the Dragon Vein Dynasty.

Emperor Wu's magical powers were so great that even Emperor Hao could not win, causing his corpse to escape.

The six great masters under Di Hao came out together and beheaded the remains of Emperor Wu. They wanted to divide them into six parts, but unexpectedly the ancestor of the Chu family took advantage of the situation and rushed out, snatching one of Emperor Wu's fingers, which became the seventh part.

In the past, Emperor Hao once said that whoever kills Emperor Wu will be granted the title of Duke.

The six great masters all obtained the title of Duke. The ancestor of the Chu family had little contribution and only got a finger. Emperor Hao did not despise him and conferred him the title of [Prince of Longcheng County].

The hereditary succession will last forever and the country will prosper together.

This edict determined the Chu family's prosperity for nearly six hundred years.

Is there anything that could be more auspicious than this imperial edict?
There is a door!

Chu Wujiang immediately added:
"Master once said that even though I have experienced a period of adversity, I must always be surrounded by auspicious things."

"Now that I have survived the catastrophe, I can go to the ancestral temple and worship my ancestors to fulfill my wish."

"Please ask Uncle Fu to arrange it."

Chu Wujiang needs to absorb luck to make himself stronger quickly. Now that he has such a treasure, he naturally wants to wait and see.

But you can't make it too clear.

"Yes, son."

Naturally, the old butler had no reason to refuse, and he immediately ordered his servants to prepare offerings for the worship.

Chu Wujiang worshipped heaven and earth alone, and paid tribute to the ancestors of the Chu family, including his father and mother.

[Although I have awakened my memories of my past life, I am still Chu Wujiang. ]

[I will do my best not to bring shame to the ancestors of the Chu family.]

【Get the resources, bear the consequences. 】

[I will be promoted to the Yuan Dan realm and officially inherit the title. ]

Chu Wujiang recited a few words silently in his heart, and the tablet of the Chu family’s ancestors seemed to respond.

After completing these rituals, he stood up and went to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices to the treasure.

This was the enthronement edict written by Emperor Hao himself more than five hundred years ago.

The golden edict was placed under a glazed cover and has remained as fresh as ever after hundreds of years of use.

The imperial edict is bordered with gold thread, which is extremely gorgeous and fully demonstrates the emperor's majesty.

Chu Wujiang only took a glance, and the words on the edict seemed to leap out of brocade.

boom!
Chu Wujiang felt his heart and soul shaken, as if he had seen the prosperous destiny of the Tianming Dynasty.

This is the text of Emperor Hao.

The law is in your mouth and your words are the law.

It has been five hundred and ninety years since He came, and He still sits firmly on the throne, ruling the world.

Every rebel would be terrified and unable to sleep at night when thinking of His divine majesty.

He personally wrote edicts of enthronement for each of the founding heroes, truly living together with the country.

[Please forgive me, I will use the imperial edict. 】

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath, put on white gloves, and carefully lifted the glass cover. The moment he touched it, he finally saw the reaction of the Heavenly Book.

【300 points of white national destiny detected.】

[Is it transformed into luck and absorbed, or is it condensed into new luck? ]

Really useful!

Chu Wujiang was delighted.

The imperial edict of conferring titles allows the nobles to share the fate of the country, so this edict contains the destiny of the country.

With the passage of time and the consumption of the Chu family, the luck in this edict has become less and less, less than one tenth of what it was in its heyday.

There are only 300 points left now. If another few decades pass, this luck will be completely consumed.

But none of this matters. The most important thing is that he finally discovered how to condense new luck.

I choose new destiny!
The national economy is changing!

The white national destiny flew into the heavenly book and bloomed in the darkness like fireworks.

[Hidden Dragon in the Abyss (White)]: [You have a trace of true dragon energy and unlimited potential. Tribulations and trials will make you stronger.]

Now, you can start practicing martial arts.
