Pagoda Immortality

"Fellow Daoist Wu, don't get excited. I just said it casually. But to be honest, even if this is true, after so many years, there will be no gain even if you go now. Is there any secret in it?" Lu Li asked curiously.

"Ahem, it is true. Otherwise, I would not say the word "gamble"." Wu Weiyang said with a dry laugh.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Wu, please feel free to teach me."

"There is no need to teach me. According to rumors, after the sea beast exploded, a special area was formed somewhere in the northern part of Shenhaiyuan. It is shrouded in strange purple mist all year round. If you get a little bit of it, your meridians will be ulcerated and difficult to repair. At the beginning, many seniors who had reached the state of transformation did not believe in it and went to test it, but without exception, they all got nothing. Over time, no one was willing to patronize it anymore. Our ancestors of the Wu family have also been there and have personally confirmed the existence of the purple mist area, but they have never entered the purple mist range..."

Lu Li was inevitably a little surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that there really was such a place. Could it be that the legend was true?

But then he smiled dumbly, "Fellow Daoist Wu, since you said that, what else do you want me to bet on? Do you think I am more powerful than Senior Huashen and can force my way into the purple mist?"

"Ahem, that's not what I mean. In fact, I think that after so many years, maybe the purple mist has dissipated, or there may be a new turn of events? What if you happen to encounter a new turn of events this time? Wouldn't that be a big win?"

It seemed that even Wu Weiyang himself didn't believe what he said, and he was forcing a smile while saying it.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu is really good at joking."

Lu Li seemed speechless on the surface, but he was actually moved. Sometimes, it's really hard to say what's the chance, and the Wu family obviously won't give him the mental method. Now that he finally got a little clue, it would be a pity not to go there.

Apart from anything else, a person who can fight a transformation-level monster and lose to each other must not be a simple person. The things left behind by such a person must be extraordinary.

"Hey! In this way, I will give you another one million Yuanying masters, six million middle-grade spirit stones. As for the news just now, how about I give it to you for free?" Wu Weiyang gritted his teeth and said.

Lu Li hesitated and was silent for a while, then said, "I am very curious. You Wu family is not the only Yuanying master, right? Why don't you go there yourself and ask for a reward? Or do you have something to hide about Shen Haiyuan?"

Wu Weiyang said: "I won't hide this from you. Including me, our Wu family has nine Yuanying masters, and they are all Wu family blood.

As for why I didn't go there myself, it was mainly because my son only had an eye injury. If we go there in person and suffer some damage, it will definitely affect the foundation of the Wu family and make it difficult to balance the other two families. So, you should understand, right, Lu Daoyou?"

To put it bluntly, although Wu Weiyang wanted to cure his son's eye injury, he didn't want the top leaders of the Wu family to suffer losses.

"Okay, I understand. When will Fellow Daoist Wu give you the six million spirit stones?"

"Did Fellow Daoist Lu agree?" Wu Weiyang looked delighted.

"Well, I'm going to go over and take a look. What if, as Fellow Daoist Wu said, I'm really lucky?" Lu Li said half-jokingly.

"Okay! Then I wish you good luck, Fellow Daoist Lu. However, I can only give you half of the spirit stones first, and we will give them to you all when we set off. How about the remaining half when you come back after the mission is completed?"

"No problem, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Wu said. When will we set off?" Lu Li said cheerfully.

"Well...it depends on whether it is easy to find the people behind. At present, including you, we have found seven people, and we only need three more."

"Okay, then I will take my leave first. If you find someone, the head of the Wu family can send someone to Laifulou to find me. However, don't wait too long. I am afraid I won't stay here for too long."

"Laifulou? Otherwise... Daoist Lu can live directly in our Wu family. We have many quiet courtyards here, which will save you from wasting spiritual stones."

Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "Forget it. I can't sit still. When the head of the Wu family is ready, just let me know."

He didn't want to have too much to do with the Wu family before the matter was settled.

Seeing Lu Li's insistence, Wu Weiyang didn't say anything more. After a few pleasantries, he personally sent Lu Li out of the Wu family.

Wu Weiyang put his hands behind his back and pondered for a while, then went to the east of the square again.

However, this time he did not return to his own courtyard, but went to the gate of another courtyard that looked small.

"Meet the head of the family."

The two guards were chatting and joking. When they saw Wu Weiyang coming, they were surprised and then hurriedly saluted.

"Well, is Li Zhao here?" Wu Weiyang said lightly.

"Yes, the second son just came back and is practicing in the East Pavilion." The guard on the right replied quickly.

The second son, Wu Weiyang's youngest son, is named Wu Lizhao.

Unlike the eldest son Wu Liyuan, who had a middle-grade second spiritual root, this second son happened to have a second-grade fourth spiritual root.

Therefore, the Wu family only cultivated him to the early stage of the golden elixir, and stopped cultivating him and let him start to help manage the family business.

However, Wu Lizhao himself never gave up practicing. As long as he had free time, even if he didn't have enough spirit stones, he would practice by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, as a person with four spiritual roots, it was too difficult for him to break through again by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Now he is more than 300 years old, but he is still only in the early stage of Jindan.

Moreover, the family affairs are busy, so he doesn't have much time to practice.

Wu Weiyang walked slowly into the inner courtyard and saw Wu Lizhao sitting cross-legged in the pavilion on the east side of the corridor. He was dressed in simple green clothes, looked about 30 or 40 years old, and his eyes were slightly closed.

He sighed secretly and walked over slowly: "Zhao'er."

Hearing the voice, Wu Lizhao opened his eyes immediately, showing an expression of disbelief, then quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Father, why are you here."

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen his father alone. It seemed that he had been forgotten. Even at the end of the year, he could only stand at the back of the crowd and look at him from afar.

"I have something to discuss with you." Wu Weiyang glanced at Wu Lizhao, then turned his gaze towards the courtyard, and said with his hands behind his back.

"Father, please give me your orders." Wu Lizhao walked over slowly and stood side by side with Wu Weiyang.

"It's like this, you should know about the bounty mission. This time I plan to let you lead the team to Shenhaiyuan to help your brother collect Cuiming bananas. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Wu Lizhao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and said bitterly: "Zhao'er will obey your orders, but I don't understand why father must let me go, can't others do it?"
