The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"Young Master, how did you know that Liu Ling has a talent for mathematics? This is Liu Ling's biggest secret, and he has never told anyone!"

"Well, when I was a child, I went to the Mu family with my elders. I saw you playing with an abacus and enjoying it. At that time, you were probably... only ten years old. I was still young and shouldn't have remembered it. But that day, your smile while holding the abacus was very sincere, as if it came from your heart. It was very beautiful, and the impression it left on me was a little deeper..."

"Just like that?"

"That's enough... Like means focus. This is what you like to do most. If so, how can you not do it well?"

"...Although the young master's words are inevitably arbitrary, Liu Ling is really moved."

"...Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered that this is the content of the conversation between the lackey and the master? Mu Liuling, you have some respect, okay?"

"Puff!"

The Purple Marquis's Mansion is spacious. The two walked for a while and chatted all the way. Chu Tianxiao suddenly jumped out of this This sentence immediately made Mu Liuling chuckle, thinking that you, a prodigal, don't have the style of a master at all. You don't have any dignity in your temperament, and you don't put on airs. You speak casually and don't care about anything in private. Now you blame yourself...

He shook his head and smiled. Seeing Chu Tianxiao's slightly squinting eyes "trying to be unhappy", Mu Liuling smiled secretly in his heart, but changed the subject: "But speaking of it... Who wrote the book that the young master gave Liuling a few days ago? The algorithm is really ingenious, but I have never heard of such an algorithm in the Great Zhou..."

"Hehe... you just need to study hard, thinking too much is useless."

Speaking of this, Chu Tianxiao paused: "Liuling, I have asked my mother to send someone to clean up your room. You have been busy for a long time today, so go back to your room and rest, don't go to bed late."

Mu Liuling nodded: "Yes, young master."

After speaking, she turned and left. Chu Tianxiao waited for her to go far away, and with a thought, he opened the big spender system.

"Buy wasteland and spend 1.5 million in one wave. You can put it aside for the cultivation improvement. You can spend more later and play a big ticket directly-after all, there is only one chance for the "Spiritual Spring Initiation" now, and it cannot be wasted... Well, use the golden lottery opportunity rewarded by the main task first."

Chu Tianxiao raised his hand, the system interface changed, and a big roulette suddenly appeared in Chu Tianxiao's mind.

Since Chu Tianxiao completed more than twice the previous main task, in addition to the full opening of the "Endless Treasure" treasure house permissions, the "lottery system" that was supposed to be activated after the big spender system was running for 100 days can now be used, and he also got a "golden lottery opportunity".

Speaking of the principle of the "lottery system", it is actually simple. It is a big turntable lottery. Each use will use up a lottery opportunity, and there are two types of lottery opportunities - ordinary lottery opportunities can't do anything, you can only rely on luck, whatever the roulette wheel spins to is what; and the golden lottery opportunity has some privileges - the host can use the amount of the spendthrift as a chip to increase the number and probability of the appearance of "good things". The more the amount of the spendthrift is invested, the deeper the increase.

Chu Tianxiao did not hesitate to spend 1.5 million of the spendthrift balance - God knows when the next time to get the "golden lottery opportunity"? You can continue to lose after the spendthrift amount is gone. Chu Tianxiao is very clear about what is important.

In just a moment, a large turntable appeared in Chu Tianxiao's mind, with golden light flashing. There were eighteen grids on the turntable. According to the instructions, 0-4 spaces would appear randomly, and the rest were either elixirs, talismans, treasures, Taoist martial arts, or even magical powers... Speaking of which, in this world, Taoism, magical powers, and martial arts are like a big pot of hodgepodge. At a glance, there is not much difference... In addition, in a very small area, there is a narrow "question mark treasure chest" grid, but compared with the other grids, it is so small that it is insignificant. This should be the "special prize" often mentioned in the lottery...

With Chu Tianxiao's order, a thick and long pointer on the turntable turned rapidly. Not long after, Chu Tianxiao's output was rewarded handsomely. As the pointer stopped, a golden light flashed in the system interface, and suddenly an object flew out and fell into Chu Tianxiao's hands. He only glanced at it and smiled.

But Chu Tianxiao saw a book in his hand, a thin blue book with ordinary texture, but with a few golden characters on the cover: Ancient Refining Manual (Fragment. Beautiful Model. One).

"What a good thing! Although it is not a complete book, it is exactly what I need. Could it be that my luck has turned?"

With a thought, Chu Tianxiao quickly grasped the book and hurried back to his room, which he had been away from for three years.

At a glance, he was a little amused - obviously, the room had been cleaned up by the maid before he stayed there. When he looked carefully, everything in the room was exactly the same as three years ago, even the placement of the tiny objects could not be seen differently, but... three years ago, there were no beautiful maids standing in his room shouting "serving the old lady's order"!

“The higher the virtue, the higher the evil… Three years ago, I was able to stop my mother’s strategy of forcing her to marry me by simply stalling, but now she has actually figured out the truth that ‘rather than urging her to give birth all day long, it’s better to take the initiative to give birth to a daughter, and cooked rice is not as good as raw rice’… Will I have a peaceful life in Tianjue City from now on…”

After all the good words were said, he had no choice but to persuade a few beautiful maids who were in tears to leave - he was now fighting against his true destiny, so how could he have time to waste time on women? After that, Chu Tianxiao stretched out his arms with physical and mental exhaustion and lay down on the bed. Although he was tired, the corner of his mouth still unconsciously curled up into a smile...

"But...she is my mother after all, haha..."

…

The next day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Chu Tianxiao finished washing and walked into the front hall.

There was only one reason why he was in such a hurry...

"Why is there no reward for the side mission of 'Comprehensive Suppression'? Ordinarily, in stages, I have already suppressed the beginning of Mr. Right... Unless, this matter is not over yet? Then, what will be the variables..."

"However...even if there are more variables, it may not be a bad thing. At least when it is completed, the rewards you can get will be more generous..."

Chu Tianxiao thought in his heart. After arriving to meet Fan, he asked her about the follow-up to yesterday's incident.

In view of Mu Liuling's outstanding performance, there is no suspense about this transaction. After Fan came forward yesterday, Mr. Yi quickly signed the contract and sold nearly two acres of wasteland to the Chu family. The deposit cannot be denied.

However, the matter is not over here, and a million-spirit-coin-level transaction cannot be settled with just one signing of the contract.

Because what Chu Tianxiao wants to buy is not ordinary land, but wasteland, nearly two acres of wasteland!

You must know that every piece of wasteland has huge potential value. Even if it is as powerful as the Great Zhou, it will never allow such resources to be wasted... In fact, if the Great Zhou's trade national policy has not been deeply rooted in the country's core, it is likely to be shaken by easy changes. In terms of national conditions, at least half of these wastelands will be officially enclosed by the empire! However, although trade in the Great Zhou Dynasty was highly free and business ethics was not open to question, the royal family still found a way.

That's the Wasteland Guild.

The so-called Wasteland Guild is actually a joint organization between the government and the private sector, which is responsible for the sale of local wasteland. Once every piece of wasteland in the Zhou Dynasty is sold, the local Wasteland Guild will come forward, and they will send people to explain to the buyers. Various precautions for wasteland, and provide specialized personnel to help manage wasteland and protect wasteland on a hired basis...

Of course, it is not all good. You must know that the original intention of the Wasteland Guild was to avoid waste. Therefore, they will also announce to buyers the monthly output value and profit limit of this wasteland. If they cannot do it within the deadline, ...Then I'm sorry, the Wasteland Guild will forcefully reclaim this wasteland and auction it to other buyers besides the original buyer. During this period, they will cancel all protection of this wasteland!

Not to mention, in a big city like Tianjue City, the leaders of the Wasteland Guild usually have people who have retired from the imperial court, so one can imagine their influence...

According to city rules, the Wasteland Guild should come to the door today and hand over everything properly. However, Fan's mother and son waited for a long time until it got dark, and then a group of people in black robes came to show their support. Yes, all the expressions are relaxed and casual, with a bit of frivolity...

Chu Tianxiao caught a glimpse of one of them, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
