Everyone thinks I'm a wealthy doctor's son-in-law

Lu Ming seemed to have realized something, pondered for a while, and said, "What did Senior Wuming say, longevity?"

"Not bad!"

Wuming nodded with a smile, "Since ancient times, whether it is the ultimate long-cherished wish of emperors, generals or ordinary people, the pursuit of money and power is just a fleeting moment. Life is only a few dozen years. Even if you have brilliant achievements, you will eventually die." It will be turned into a wisp of loess and buried in the long river of time."

"So, longevity has become the most fundamental pursuit since ancient times. Although Gaowu Academy can't make people live forever, it can make people have a longer life. Moreover, it is extremely strict in the selection of beginners In fact, the reason is very simple, just imagine, if most people in this world can have hundreds or even thousands of years of life, what will this world be like?"

Lu Ming's brows were tightly furrowed. He couldn't believe that the mysterious Gaowu Academy allowed people to live for such a long time.

But the consequences of this incident are not difficult to imagine. In this world, people are born and die every moment, every minute and every second, so life and death have reached a relatively balanced degree, so the existing balance can be maintained resource.

If in this world, human life can be greatly extended, even infinitely extended, then the number of human beings will show a blowout trend in just a few decades, and this world will also show a trend of saturation.

With limited resources, in order to survive, the order of the world will no longer exist, and everything will return to the most barbaric state in the shortest possible time: the weak will eat the strong, and the fittest will survive!
Wuming smiled mysteriously, as if he could see what Lu Ming was thinking.

"That's true! Order needs to be maintained, so only a very small number of people can be the lucky ones! Few people know about the Gaowu Academy, and even fewer can enter it! Just like the rumored sect of cultivating immortals, although it is not so exaggerated , but it is not groundless."

The nameless words made the Gaowu Academy more and more mysterious.

But Lu Ming asked in confusion: "What does all this have to do with the power stone in the ancient box?"

"That's the origin of everything!" Having said that, Wuming shook his head and said, "Of course, you don't have the ability to know more now! Back to the topic just now, you want to quit."

"Yes, I want to quit." Lu Ming said seriously.

"Hey, you have no way out now." Wuming sighed deeply.

He stood up, paced back and forth under the tree, pondered for a long time before continuing: "Everything has already started, and you are the key pivotal figure in it, even if I promise you to withdraw, Tianzong will not let it go, because only You can complete the next thing!"

"Opening the ancient box is only the first step. To activate the energy stone in it, you need the five-way stone. The three-flower jade hairpin is just one of them, and you need to find the remaining four things..."

Before Wuming finished speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I'm not interested in this! I don't want to know about it, but why does it have to be me? You and the suzerain of Tianzong are all powerful , isn’t it easy to find these few things?”

Wuming smiled wryly and said: "It's not difficult, but we can't! You will understand the reason in the future! Lu Ming, I can understand your current mood, but please listen to me calmly."

To be honest, Lu Ming can't calm down now, especially after Wuming told about the weird Gaowu Academy, he has an unreal feeling about this world.

Facing Wuming and the mysterious Tianzong suzerain, he is like a powerful mortal standing beside the two gods. No matter how powerful he is, it is not a dimensional existence with the first-hand Taoism ah!
Wuming went on to say: "Obtain the key to open the ancient box, find the remaining five-way stones, and you will be able to retire. This time, I can ensure that Liu Mubai escapes unscathed, and in the future I can also ensure that you escape unscathed!" Not only that, I will personally give you a letter of recommendation to go to Gaowu Academy, with my recommendation, you will definitely be able to successfully enter Gaowu Academy!"

Lu Ming laughed when he heard this, he felt that the other party was just drawing a big cake in front of him, that's all!

"Lu Ming, the ancient box is just the beginning! What you see are all appearances, even the Gaowu Academy is just a manifestation! The real secret, you will naturally reveal it when the time is right. I’m not interested either! But there are often many things that you don’t have to do if you don’t want to do them!”

"Even you and Tianzong are afraid?" Lu Ming asked.

Wuming heard the words with a smile, pointed to the tree beside him, and asked, "Is this tree tall?"

Lu Ming looked up and saw that the tree was indeed not short.

Wuming went on to say: "But if you look at the tall buildings in the distance, the sky above your head, and the vast universe beyond the sky, this world is like a microcosm of all of these! When you think you are standing on the commanding heights of the world , maybe someone from a higher place is looking down on you! So back to the original, everything is limited to our cognition!"

"Okay, after talking for so long, that curious guy Shangguan Mu is probably hurrying back! The less people know about this matter, the safer it is for them!"

"Lu Ming, please believe that all of this is not for me! One day you will understand, and I will definitely do what I promised you. This time, Liu Mubai, and you in the future, will be able to protect your entire body. Retire! As well as your relatives and friends, no one will hurt them. I don’t need to guarantee this, but the tacit understanding and rules of Tianzong and others that don’t need to be negotiated.”

Lu Ming lowered his head, he thought for a long time, and when he looked up again, the confusion in his eyes was gone, and there was only firmness that surprised Wuming.

"Since all of this requires me to do it, let me do it! If you can't quit, then just keep going!"

Lu Ming stood up slowly, cupped his hands at Wuming, and said, "Senior, I'll take my leave first! I'm impatient, and if I can't get rid of things, I should finish them as soon as possible!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the house, then opened the door and walked out. A car was speeding up in the distance.

Looking at his back, Wuming frowned. He was a little surprised at Lu Ming's unyielding willpower.

If it were an ordinary person, after learning about these unimaginable things, it would probably take an extremely long process to slowly digest all this.

But Lu Ming didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't make unnecessary struggles. The firmness and confidence in his eyes were beyond even Wuming's.

"Brother Lu!"

The car came at a high speed, and Shangguan Mu walked down early carrying a bag.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Give breakfast to the old man, let's go."

"Ah? Where are you going?" Shangguan Mu was at a loss, he ran for a while and hurried back, they had already finished chatting!

Lu Ming smiled, pointed in the direction of the center of the magic capital, and said, "Guchen Temple!"

There is the place where the key to open the ancient box is hidden, a temple with a history of thousands of years.
