The anxious hearts of Lu Zheng and his daughter, Tianyue, suddenly settled, both sighing sighs of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted off their shoulders.

Difficult to solve is still better than not able to solve at all. With the strength of the Lu Family, no matter how difficult, there would always be a way.

Tianyue looked at Chu Mo, her crisp voice had completely calmed down: "No matter how difficult, as long as there is a way, our Lu Family will give it our all! We only ask for Young Master Chu to propose the solution."

Chu Mo looked at Tianyue and said: "Your father must have suffered a serious injury about thirty-odd years ago, and that one time, it nearly claimed his life."

Chu Mo was speaking to Tianyue, but standing beside her, Lu Zheng's face showed shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Even Jin Dongnan looked at Lu Zheng incredulously, unable to help but ask: "Brother Lu was injured?"

Tianyue also wore a bemused expression, saying: "Thirty years ago, I... I wasn't even born, but... I've never heard of this?"

Lu Zheng, however, was looking at Chu Mo with a reverent gaze, "Yes, Young Master Chu is correct."

"Ah?" Jin Dongnan and Tianyue were both surprised.

Jin Dongnan, in particular, found it hard to believe: "How could I not know about something this significant?"

Lu Zheng shook his head and gave a wry smile: "At that time, it was the critical period when I and several brothers were... vying for the position of the Lu Family's head. How could I dare to let such a thing be known? Brother Jin, do you still remember, thirty years ago, I was gone for a while, the excuse given to the outside world was to purchase a batch of medicinal materials for the family?"

Jin Dongnan furrowed his eyebrows, pondered for a long while, before saying: "It seems like there was such an incident, but it's been so long that my memory is a bit hazy."

"Actually, that time, purchasing medicinal materials was a pretense, going out to seek treatment was the truth." Lu Zheng said: "At that time, the number of people who knew about my injury did not exceed five! However, more than half a year later, I came back full of life, and moreover, my power had stepped straight from the peak of Foundation Establishment into the Golden Elixir Dao! It was precisely because of this reason that no one knew about the serious injury I had suffered. Even if the person who had plotted against me back then would never believe that I, a cultivator who had stepped from Foundation Establishment into Golden Elixir, would have lingering hidden injuries."

"So such a thing actually..." Tianyue looked shockingly at Lu Zheng, but what shocked her even more was that this Young Master Chu knew even about this? How did he find out? This was simply miraculous!

Chu Mo's face remained calm, thinking to himself: the Fengshui Divine Art of predicting a person's life, and the divine mirror of the sky, are simply unbeatable!

Jin Dongnan also looked at Chu Mo full of admiration, then said: "I am completely convinced by you!"

Lu Zheng once again bowed to Chu Mo: "Mr. Chu is truly extraordinary, I implore Mr. Chu to help save me!"

The way Lu Zheng addressed Chu Mo had changed!

From young master to sir, he had completely placed Chu Mo at a position equivalent or even higher than himself.

And how could Chu Mo not hear that? Him giving a slight smile followed: "Patriarch Lu, you don't have to worry, just call someone over to get some paper and a pen."

"As such, Lu Zheng is very grateful to Mr. Chu!" Lu Zheng said with gratitude written all over his face.

"However, there is one thing I must inform Patriarch Lu about." Chu Mo looked at Lu Zheng: "All these medicinal materials, are not cheap."

"No issue, Young Master Chu, feel free to ask!" At this point, even if Chu Mo were to take this opportunity to severely blackmail his Lu Family, Lu Zheng would accept it.

Because only if he lives, will the Lu Family be safe; if anything were to happen to him, even if the Lu Family didn't immediately disintegrate, it would certainly decline over time. Moreover, there's nothing more important than life. Money and all that, those are simply worldly possessions.

Subsequently, a servant brought over some paper and a pen. Chu Mo confidently wrote two prescriptions, then said to Lu Zheng: "Since it is to help Patriarch Lu with alchemy, I won't hold back. Please arrange a courtyard for me, and when the time comes, I will help you refine the elixir there!"

"That's easy, I'll arrange it right away!" Lu Zheng, without even looking at the prescription Chu Mo gave him, immediately had someone prepare it.

As long as the medicinal materials exist in the Spirit Realm, the Lu Family would almost certainly be able to acquire them. At worst, they'd swallow their pride and seek help from those close to the Lu Family. One way or another, they'll make it work!

As for the courtyard that Chu Mo wanted, even if Chu Mo hadn't said anything, Lu Zheng would never have let Chu Mo continue staying at the inn.

It was simply a joke, it wouldn't be too much to treat a person like this as an ancestor!

Following that, the banquet prepared by the Lu Family began, with many prominent figures in the Lu Family making an appearance; some younger ones with high positions were specifically arranged to toast Chu Mo.

Firstly, to let these people get to know Chu Mo, get familiar with him; secondly, Lu Zheng was afraid that there would be some thoughtless and insensitive people among them who might inadvertently offend Chu Mo. They had to understand that Mr. Chu was an esteemed guest of the Lu family... no, a VIP!

The entire banquet was centered around Chu Mo. Towards the end, it was even somewhat embarrassing for Chu Mo.

Jin Dongnan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, with a little disappointment. It seemed that his earlier consideration for Chu Mo was somewhat inadequate! However, fortunately, during the banquet, Chu Mo had shown him great respect in spoken words.

This made Jin Dongnan extremely pleased, while at the same time deciding in his heart that he must get to know this young man better.

After the banquet ended, Lu Zheng personally accompanied Chu Mo to a residence in the Lu Family. The entire residence consisted of three entrances and exits, all sorts of pavilions and waterside pavilions inside, and the scenic landscape was beautiful. With twenty or thirty servants and maids prepared inside, they were already waiting there to welcome their new master, Chu Mo.

Such a mansion, even in the entirety of Jinxiu City, was rare to see. It was considered a top-notch mansion, the value of which was hard to measure in terms of money. However, Lu Zheng unhesitatingly presented it directly to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo, after declining several times, accepted it. In fact, Chu Mo really didn't care about these things, as long as he had a quiet living environment.

Finally, before leaving, Lu Zheng had someone bring Big Rooster over, then quietly said to Chu Mo: "The person who plotted against Mr. Chu's spirit pet last night has been found, and I have also given them a deserved lesson. Please rest assured, Mr. Chu, from today onwards, there will absolutely be no one in Jinxiu City who dares to provoke Mr. Chu. Whoever is against Mr. Chu is against the Lu Family!"

After seeing off Lu Zheng, Jin Dongnan and others, Chu Mo was reunited with Big Rooster.

Big Rooster looked at Chu Mo somewhat vacantly, then said: "Kid, what did you do? Did the Lu Family take you in as their son-in-law? How did you get this huge mansion in just a day? Also, the Lu Family people were so respectful when they picked up Big Rooster..."

Chu Mo laughed and said: "What son-in-law, I just agreed to heal them, that's all."

"Heal them?" Big Rooster incredulously looked at Chu Mo: "Kid, you're lying again?"

"What do you mean again? When did I ever lie?" Chu Mo gave Big Rooster a disdainful look, then said: "Get ready, tomorrow we'll explore that ruin!"

Big Rooster suddenly became serious, walked around the ground flapping his wings, and said: "Big Rooster has a premonition that the treasure I'm looking for is in those ruins!"
