Chapter 194 Entering the City
The patriarch of the Meng family sat in the head seat and listened to Meng Tong's report.
His face first showed surprise, then a smile appeared on his face.
After a moment, he stared at his granddaughter and said, "You've been fortunate enough to have such a great opportunity."
Upon hearing the voice, Meng Tong asked in surprise, "Grandpa, what does this have to do with me?"
"Hehe, from what you've said, this Lu Yuan is quite loyal and righteous. Since you have this connection with him, there's a cause and effect involved. He will naturally remember your kindness, after all, you were the one who brought him into the sect."
If you ever need anything in the future, and if he has truly matured, you will benefit immensely simply by doing what he can to help.
The patriarch of the Meng family said with a smile.
Looking at his granddaughter, he never imagined she would be so blessed.
Meng Tong looked somewhat confused, unsure how to respond. Then the Meng family patriarch continued, "Isn't Lu Yuan going to enter the outer city tomorrow? You'll be in charge of this matter."
Let's give him that vacant house our family owns in the outer city.
Everything is ready. Although it's a bit small, it should be enough for him since he's just entered the outer city.
"Yes, Grandpa," Meng Tong replied immediately.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Meng family looked at his granddaughter, and the smile on his face never stopped.
He had never even heard of a Transcendent Realm expert who had been around for over twenty years.
How could a sect not take such a person seriously?
Then, after giving Meng Tong a few more instructions, reminding her to maintain a good relationship with Lu Yuan, he waved for her to leave.
Meanwhile, after returning home, Lu Yuan did not rest but prepared to continue his cultivation, as he had not yet entered the profound realm of the "Shattering Void Blade Manual".
Now that my proficiency has increased significantly, it's time to advance.
Therefore, he spent the entire night practicing in the courtyard.
He kept swinging the long sword in his hand. Although he did not use his true energy, his body was still surrounded by the sword's sharp edge.
His skill level increased as he wielded his blade.
Finally, as dawn was breaking, system data popped up in my mind.
[Cultivation Technique: First-grade cultivation technique "Shattering Void Blade Manual" (60142/50000 entry level, use 10,000 proficiency points to advance?)]
Lu Yuan naturally didn't hesitate and immediately chose to advance.
Then, a vast surge of inherited memories welled up from his mind.
The blade's aura could be seen surging around his body.
[Cultivation Technique: First-Rank Profound Skill "Myriad Manifestations Blade Technique" (142/1000 Minor Success)]
As the system data appeared, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.
Now, apart from physical body and formations, all other cultivation techniques have broken through to the Xuan level.
Their combat effectiveness has increased significantly.
At the very least, he could fight against demons of the same realm.
Now, the only thing lacking is rare and precious materials to enhance physical strength. If we had them...
If he also elevates his physical body to the level of profound skill, his combat power will reach an even higher level.
Just then, it became light.
Xiao Hua and Zhou Hongling have already come out.
The latter looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "You've cultivated all night, have you broken through?"
"It's not exactly a breakthrough, but it's been worthwhile. I'll go check out the houses first, then I'll pick you up and take you to the outer city."
"Yes." Zhou Hongling nodded quickly.
Then, Lu Yuan turned to look at Madam Xiao, who had also come out of the room, and said, "Mother, you don't need to go weaving the brocade today. I'm going to the outer city, and we'll move when I get back."
"Alright, I'll go over and say hello first. After all, I've worked here for so long, and it's time to say goodbye before leaving," Madam Xiao said with a smile.
She really hadn't expected that things would change so much after Lu Yuan arrived.
In just over ten days, we will be able to enter the city.
This was something she never dared to even imagine before.
"Um."
Lu Yuan responded, bid farewell to everyone, and went out the door, heading towards the city gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Meng Tong waiting there. When she saw Lu Yuan coming over, she grinned and came over, saying, "I knew you were looking at houses today, so I came early to wait for you. I've already looked at the houses that the sect has arranged for outer disciples."
Although it's a two-courtyard house, which is considered the highest standard among outer disciples, it still falls short of something. My family had a house in the outer city many years ago.
Now that you're entering the outer city, I'm giving it to you. It's just across the wall from my house, so we can look out for each other if anything happens.
As Meng Tong's voice faded away.
Lu Yuan stared at the other person for a long time, until Meng Tong became a little nervous, before saying, "Alright, I'll accept the house. Thank you."
By accepting the house, he signifies that he has accepted the karmic connection with Meng Tong.
But I don't really care, no matter what happens in the future.
Meng Tong was his guide into the outer sect, and this alone meant that whether or not he accepted the house was already related to Meng Tong.
Upon hearing his agreement, Meng Tong immediately said, "Then let's go. I've already spoken with the inner sect senior brothers, so we don't need to go looking for them anymore. I'll take you directly to see the house."
Actually, Meng Tong doesn't have that much influence.
Everything was arranged personally by Grandpa Meng Tong.
This cost a lot of favors and connections.
After entering the outer city, the two wandered around and finally arrived at a house facing the street.
Lu Yuan looked over and saw that next door was a large courtyard with eight sections, and there were people guarding the entrance.
Lu Yuan looked over and saw that next door was a large courtyard with eight sections, and there were people guarding the entrance.
Upon seeing Meng Tong, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Miss."
The other person nodded.
Then, Meng Tong turned to look at Lu Yuan: "This is my home. My father and several uncles live here. When there's nothing else to do in the shantytown, they also stay here."
"I must say, I'm really grateful to you this time. Because of your recommendation, I might be able to avoid taking the job in the shantytown."
Her voice carried a hint of lightness.
"You don't want to work in the shantytown?"
"The work there is the most tiring and dangerous. I don't want to go. After I'm transferred back, I won't have to do fixed tasks anymore. I can just choose sect missions to do."
"We can team up then," Meng Tong said, sounding quite lively.
They walked and talked.
Then they went to the gate of a neighboring courtyard and unlocked it.
He turned to Lu Yuan and said, "This is a four-courtyard complex. There is a training ground in the front courtyard where you can practice martial arts. Most importantly, special array masters have been invited to set up arrays in the outer courtyards."
The concentration of spiritual energy in this courtyard is three times that of other places in the outer city, which is quite remarkable.
You can hire some servants and maids.
After pushing open the door and entering, Lu Yuan's face showed a satisfied expression.
The front yard was divided into four small courtyards, and a drill ground was right outside the door.
The middle courtyard is similar, consisting of four small courtyards.
There is also a small garden in the back.
The backyard occupies two sections and is divided into four slightly larger courtyards.
After moving in here, you won't have to worry about feeling awkward anymore.
After all, being too close together at night is indeed a problem.
"Thank you," Lu Yuan said after looking around the courtyard.
Meng Tong waved his hand and said, "Why are you thanking me? Just take care of me from now on. Consider it protection money I paid in advance."
She said with a grin.
After all, Meng Tong looked powerful in the shantytown, but in the outer city she was just a pretty little girl.
He has been targeted by many people.
Yao Yue was one of them.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, as long as it's within my power, I definitely won't refuse."
When Meng Tong heard him say that, she laughed so hard her eyes almost closed.
After Lu Yuan stood up for her in front of Yao Yue yesterday, Meng Tong felt very safe in front of Lu Yuan.
Then, he took out the land deed and said, "Here, take this. The paperwork is all done. Do you need my help moving?"
"No need, you can go about your business. I've already taken up a lot of your time today. I'll treat you to a meal another day when I have time," Lu Yuan said softly.
"Hmm." Meng Tong didn't insist.
After responding, he left on his own.
As for Lu Yuan, after locking the courtyard gate, he headed out of the city.
Now that we have a house, it's big enough for Xiao Gu and the others to move in as well.
The houses in the shantytown are low and it's too dangerous outside. Lu Yuan will feel more at ease if they live in the outer city in the future.
As he arrived outside the city and returned home, he found that everyone had already gathered.
Early in the morning, Xiao informed them not to go out to work and to come home to wait for the move.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Gu greeted him: "A-Yuan, you've really become an outer disciple?"
"Of course it's true, get ready, let's move. Let's go straight to the outer city," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Hey, what's there to prepare? Let's just go. Our things are all in our spatial rings," Mangu Tun said impatiently.
Ever since he arrived here, he had wanted to visit the outer city, but he hadn't had the chance.
Now we can actually move in right away.
Of course, I was very happy.
Then, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to his mother and Madam Xiao.
Both of them nodded, clearly indicating that they had also packed their things.
"Now that everything is ready, let's get ready to go." After saying this, Lu Yuan led everyone towards the outer city.
Unexpectedly, Sun Gui received the news and came over early in the morning with a gift, while also inviting Lu Yuan to come to his house for drinks when he was free.
Lu Yuan accepted the gift without hesitation.
Then he turned to Sun Gui and said, "I'm going out of the city tomorrow, so I'll treat everyone to a meal."
Sun Gui was overjoyed to receive this response.
He hadn't expected that Lu Yuan would give him such face for his casual remark.
Then, he wisely left.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, led his family straight into the city.
Li Qing and the others who followed in were filled with surprise.
The outer city, in their minds, used to be a place where only the high-ranking members of the sect could stay.
Now, I can actually come in myself, without worrying about the dangers outside.
All of this was given to me by Lu Yuan.
Upon arriving at the house, everyone was surprised again.
It's already quite an achievement to be able to live in the outer city, let alone have such a large house.
This surprised them even more.
At this moment, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You can choose the front yard yourselves. After you're done, come with me to find Monk. I promised to have a drink with him today."
"Okay." Xiao Gu and the others responded.
They then went off to choose their own houses.
Lu Yuan then took his family to the backyard.
Meanwhile, Sun Gui returned to his trading company and said to his subordinates as he walked, "You don't know, Lu Yuan has entered the city. I heard that Senior Sister Meng personally arranged a large mansion for him and gave it to him directly."
Why don't I have a friend like that?
Sun Gui smacked his lips enviously.
The other peripheral disciples nodded.
His words reached Fu Chuan's ears as he was tidying up. He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, not even noticing that the things in his hands had fallen to the ground.
Inside the Zhao family manor, the Zhao family patriarch looked at Zhao Li and said, "Come into the city with me. No matter what, your matter must be settled today."
Zhao Li nodded with a look of terror on her face, but dared not make any move.
Inside the Zhang family manor, Zhang Heng led several family disciples out of the manor, clearly preparing to go into the city to find Lu Yuan.
