Nine Turns of Nirvana

Under the escort of the red armored guards, Lu Yu arrived at Wuyang City one day early.

"Master Lu, you have finally arrived!"

"Ever since I left Jinkou, I have longed for the young master's style day and night. I can't eat to my taste, and I can't sleep well..."

"I have always been looking forward to seeing you again, and today I finally got my wish!"

As soon as Lu Yu got out of the car, a man rushed over crying and startled him.

"Butler?"

Lu Yu took a closer look and realized that this person was none other than the big housekeeper of Yu Wanli's house!

What is this fuss about?

"Young master, don't call me that anymore. I am no longer the chief steward of Yu Mansion..."

"The fake miracle doctor I found last time almost caused my young master to lose his life. My master is extremely merciful to spare my life. How can I dare to ask for the position of chief steward..."

"I heard that the young master is here for a meeting. My master is busy with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and may not be able to take care of him. Therefore, I took the initiative to come here and come here to support the young master!"

"Young master, if you have any errands to do from now on, just give me your orders!"

After Lu Yu thought for a while, he understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Isn't it just that he made a mistake and was punished? He can actually speak so nicely. This big housekeeper is really a talent...

"Then I wonder how I should address you now?"

"Young Master, please call the villain by his real name Zhang Tieniu from now on!"

Zhang Tieniu?

Lu Yu almost laughed out loud.

He is as skinny as a bamboo pole and looks like a thief, so he doesn't fit in with this name at all...

"Ahem...I'll call you Lao Zhang from now on!"

"I'm happy with you, Young Master! I will listen to whatever villain you call me!"

Under the arrangement of Lao Zhang, Lu Yu stayed overnight in the office of Wanhe Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Lao Zhang has been a housekeeper for many years, and his eyesight and knowledge are still very good. Everything is arranged properly and orderly, making Lu Yu feel quite at home.

Early the next morning, Lao Zhang prepared more than ten exquisite and delicious breakfast dishes.

After eating, Lao Zhang said: "My master has to accompany the four county guards and is temporarily unable to attend. However, he will find a chance to meet the young master at the VIP venue in the afternoon. Why not let me accompany the young master first this morning?" Feel free to take a look at the treasure tasting conference! ”

So the two of them went to the inner city of Wuyang City where the treasure tasting conference was held.

Due to the holding of the treasure tasting conference, the entire inner city was under complete martial law. Lu Yu and Lao Zhang passed through numerous guard posts before arriving at the venue.

This is the first time Lu Yu has participated in a treasure tasting conference.

At this time, the entire venue was already buzzing with people. Lu Yu was dazzled by the dazzling array of products, including armor, talismans, elixirs, and all kinds of rare materials.

"Young master, my master has already told me that all the young master's expenses today will be paid for by our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce. If the young master likes a treasure, he only needs to say a word, and the villain will buy it for him!"

As Lao Zhang spoke, he patted his chest vigorously and heard a very high-quality voice. It was obvious that he had a pile of gold and silver bills in his arms.

"If that's the case, then I'd be very grateful to the president."

Lu Yu was not polite and picked up some armor-type treasures to buy.

These armors were mainly bought for the subordinates of Sanfang. After all, in addition to himself, there were also some collateral descendants who were attached to Sanfang who also wanted to participate in the four-county martial arts competition, such as Lu Yuanshan's nephews.

If it weren't for the backing of the wealthy Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, with Sanfang's current financial resources, Lu Yu would really not be able to spend money like water here.

"That is how the matter?"

Suddenly, Lu Yu discovered that there was a very tall wall at the innermost side of the venue. There were wooden boards hanging on the wall, with messages written on them.

For example, Wang Shuang purchased a first-grade black iron sword...

Li Ru bought two second-grade talismans...

Sun Ping bought a Yipin Huoxue Pill...

And so on.

And from time to time, someone would take down the old wooden boards and replace them with new ones, constantly updating them...

"Oh, this is the list of heroes."

Lao Zhang explained: "This is specially used by the organizer to count the purchase information of people at the conference. However, this list can only be regarded as a child's play at this time. It will not be considered a real list until the VIP room opens in the afternoon. The heroic situation!"

Lu Yu was confused.

Heroic situation? Is it true that the more you buy and the more money you spend, the more powerful it becomes?

"What's the use of this?"

Lao Zhang lowered his voice and said: "This is to pave the way for the black market handicap. After the treasure tasting conference is over, the black market handicap of the Four Counties Martial Arts Competition will be opened. The opening odds will be based on everyone's usual reputation." , and determined by performance on the Heroes Ranking..."

"Black market odds?" Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this.

"Why, haven't you heard of it before?"

Lu Yu had indeed never heard of it.

The Four-County Martial Arts Competition was only held every four years. The last time it was held, he was at a low point where his cultivation could not progress. And in the previous Four-County Martial Arts Competition, he was still too young.

"Who made the handicap?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the four major counties... Otherwise, why do you think the four major counties are so keen on holding martial arts competitions and give a lot of bonuses to each competition? First of all, this is to provide each The big sect selects talents, secondly, because there is a hugely profitable business in it! "

Only then did Lu Yu realize that there was such a secret behind the martial arts competition in the four counties.

If the government is ruthless enough to make money, it will be really powerful...

"Mr. Lu, I would like to ask, what level of cultivation does Mr. Lu have now?" Lao Zhang said with a smile on his face.

"Seventh level of physical realm." Lu Yu replied.

"Oh, that would be a pity. With your cultivation level, the young master probably won't be on the handicap list, otherwise the villain will definitely support the young master!"

"What, is my cultivation level too low? What cultivation level do I need to appear on the handicap list?"

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said: "The four counties competed in martial arts, and a total of four rankings were obtained: A, B, C and D. Among them, there are ten people on the A list, one hundred people on the B list, one thousand people on the C list, and ten thousand people on the D list... The black market handicap is mainly for A For the ranking contest, you need to be at least ninth level of physical realm to have a chance to compete for the top spot, right?"

"Is it?"

Lu Yu smiled and said nothing more.

After wandering around for a while, we arrived at lunch time before we knew it.

"There is a VIP building in the inner city, which is specially used for dining and resting by the distinguished guests present."

"Why don't I take the young master over now, let him have some lunch inside, and then take a short rest so that he can attend the VIP meeting in the afternoon!"

"What do you think, Master?"

Lu Yu readily agreed.

So under the leadership of Lao Zhang, we came to a magnificent building on the south side of the inner city.

Lao Zhang ran into the building and worked for a while, then took out a number plate and handed it to Lu Yu.

"Sir, this is a private room specially prepared for you. I am of low status and cannot go in anymore. Please have a good rest in it. If you have any questions, please report the name of our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yu took the number plate and went up to the VIP building alone.

The atmosphere upstairs was obviously different from that outside. As soon as he went upstairs, Lu Yu noticed that several pairs of eyes looked at him.

"Li Xiong, I'm in Yanzhou City. May I ask my brother your name?"

A tall man took the initiative to talk.

"Ding'an City, Lu Yu."

The tall man Li Xiong looked thoughtful, obviously he had never heard of Lu Yu's name.

"I have cultivated to the eighth level of the physical realm. I wonder how high your cultivation level is?"

As he spoke, Li Xiong deliberately aroused his momentum and showed off his cultivation at the eighth level of the physical realm.

"Seventh level of physical realm." Lu Yu replied.

Li Xiong had a look of disappointment on his face.

"Then...Brother Lu, please help yourself."

After saying that, he returned to his original position.

Lu Yu suddenly understood that these people were staying here to deliberately make friends with good practitioners, and at the same time they also wanted to find out information about their opponents.

They had neither heard of Lu Yu's name nor discovered how strong his cultivation was, so they lost interest in him.

Lu Yu was so happy, it made him feel more relaxed.

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Lu Yu?"

Lu Yu turned his head and looked around, and suddenly he froze.

I saw that the person was graceful and beautiful as a flower. It was Bu Yi, the daughter of the Bu family.
