Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

After breakfast, everyone prepared to set off for Li Shu Tang. Before that, Bai Zheng gave special instructions to Lu Yuguan and others.

"When you go to the Lishutang, you must pay attention to etiquette, especially when meeting royal children. You must be more humble. It's not like the Bai family. Do you understand?" Bai Zheng said.

Lu Yuguan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and Bai Ming beside him also agreed slightly.

"Bai Ming entered school earlier than you. If there is anything you don't understand when you go here to seek the truth, just ask your second brother, Bai Ming. Do you hear me?" Bai Zheng looked at Bai Ming and said.

Bai Ming immediately patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for my third brother."

Looking at his two children, Bai Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, the carriage is ready, let's go." After Bai Zheng finished speaking, he got on the official carriage and headed to the court under the arrangement of his entourage.

Lu Yuguan looked at Bai Zheng's back and asked Bai Ming, "What is our father's current position?"

Bai Ming immediately gained confidence and hummed in triumph, "You really don't know anything. Dad is now the Minister of Personnel, in charge of officials across the country. Others can't curry favor with him even if they want to!"

Lu Yuguan smacked his lips and couldn't help but say, "This is incredible."

The two of them walked towards the door of the Bai family. Before they reached the door, they saw Bai Doudou's figure from afar.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, come quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now——"

Bai Doudou sat in one of the carriages, opened the window, and squeezed out her chubby face, which was rosy. It was obvious that shouting these two times had taken a lot of energy.

"Bai Doudou, stop shouting, the second and third young masters can hear you!" In a nearby carriage, a short-haired girl was covering her ears and shouting at Bai Doudou in a complaining manner.

When Lu Yuguan walked in, he found that there were five carriages parked outside the door, each of which had the Bai family logo printed on it.

"Excuse me, who is this..." Lu Yuguan asked the unfamiliar short-haired girl.

Bai Doudou was interrupted by the girl just as she was about to speak.

"Hello, Third Young Master. My name is Bai Yueyi, and I'm the daughter of the Third Elder. That one over there is the Second Elder's youngest son, Bai Kongming." Bai Yueyi said cheerfully, pointing to the carriage at the back. A small head trembled and stuck out, looking much smaller than everyone else.

"Hello, Third Young Master." Bai Kongming's voice was as small as a mosquito. If they were not all cultivators with sharp hearing, ordinary people would not be able to hear his voice clearly.

Lu Yuguan returned the greetings and showed no signs of arrogance. Bai Doudou felt relieved to see everyone getting along so well.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, it's time to set off." The coachman jumped down from the carriage. Lu Yuguan took a closer look and found that the man in front of him was extremely familiar.

"Liu Neng?" Lu Yuguan shouted in surprise.

Butler Zhao Si leaned slightly towards Bai Ming and Lu Yuguan and said, "Greetings, Second Young Master and Third Young Master."

"Third brother, Emperor Zhao's name is Zhao Si, not Liu Neng." Bai Ming explained.

Zhao Si didn't care and said, "It's okay, Third Young Master can call me whatever he wants. As servants, our names are not important."

Bai Ming was getting anxious and was about to start arguing, saying, "What are you talking about? How can a person's name change so easily?"

"Hey, Second Young Master, you'd better get in the carriage first. If your carriage doesn't move, we behind you won't be able to move either." Bai Doudou said jokingly.

"Hmph." Bai Ming's face was full of complicated expressions. He looked at Lu Yuguan and Zhao Si, then got on the carriage silently.

With the crisp whip of housekeeper Zhao Si, the Bai family's carriage slowly began to move forward.

The streets of the capital are wide and smooth, and the vendors on both sides are extremely bustling, which makes it feel more lively than the Bai family's.

Lu Yuguan held his head up and didn't pay attention to the scene outside the window. Instead, he stared at the tracks left by the carriage that Bai Ming was riding in.

"Third Young Master, are you worried about something?" Butler Zhao Si asked with his head tilted.

"Liu Neng, before I came, was my second brother also angry with you?" Lu Yuguan asked doubtfully.

Housekeeper Zhao Si sighed softly, looking at the carriage in front of him where Bai Ming was sitting, and said, "In fact, the Second Young Master has a good temper among the four great families in the capital, especially towards us servants, he has never done anything excessive. The eldest and second young masters were both raised by us servants. Whenever the eldest young master leaves, I usually follow the second young master. I have to say something unpleasant, please don't be angry, Third Young Master."

"You say." Lu Yuguan responded.

"Ever since you were included in the family tree, the master has asked me to take good care of you. The second young master must be feeling unbalanced and upset. It was me who usually drove the second young master's carriage." Butler Zhao Si said slowly with his thin lips.

Lu Yuguan actually noticed Bai Ming's dissatisfaction just now. After hearing what Zhao Si said, if he were Bai Ming, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Third Young Master, don't take it to heart. The young mistress didn't have an easy time in the Bai family either. To put it bluntly, all the blessings you enjoy in the Bai family now are owed to you and the young mistress." Butler Zhao Si sighed whenever he mentioned the young mistress.

"Mother..." Lu Yuguan recalled the memories of his original body. In his impression, there was only the figure of a thin and kind woman. As for other memories, they were all vague.

[Ding! Main Quest - The Mystery of Life Experience. Obtained the key clue character "Unknown Young Mistress". Total progress 3%/100%]

"System, I remember that the original body's memory was sealed. Can I still check it?" Lu Yuguan asked.

[Ding! The host's spiritual level has not yet reached a certain realm, and must continue to practice to unlock it! ]

"So that's how it is." Lu Yuguan looked at his hands, sizing up this body that didn't belong to him, and silently vowed, "Don't worry, I will definitely let our mother return to the Bai family with a legitimate reason!"

The system looked at such an inspiring host and couldn't help but smile with relief.

[Beep beep beep! We've detected that the host's recent state of civilization cultivation is commendable. The civilization value panel is now open. Earn corresponding civilization points to enter the lucky draw in the system mall!]

Oh my god! Lu Yuguan was so moved that he was in tears. After so many days, the system was finally generous.

"Check the panel properties." As Lu Yuguan thought about it, a brand new numerical panel appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Lu Yuguan]

[Civilization Value: 1]

[Cultivation: Dust Transformation Stage 5]

[Spiritual Power: 50/50]

[Spiritual Root Attribute: Single Wood Root]

[Kung Fu: Internal Kung Fu | Furnace Cauldron Demon Control Heart Method (Bronze Furnace Cauldron Heart Sutra, Beginner Level), External Kung Fu | Solar Terms, Part 1 (Beginning of Spring Breeze)]

[Skill: None]

[Multiple "None" attribute item columns are hidden here]

"System, what does this civilization value mean?" Lu Yuguan asked.

If the host engages in uncivilized behavior that day, their civilization score will be deducted based on the severity of the uncivilized behavior. Additionally, if they engage in commendable civilized behavior, the system has a chance to award them with additional civilization score points. If their civilization score is negative, they will receive varying degrees of punishment.] The system explained mechanically.

"Oh... so the additional numerical rewards depend on your standards?" Lu Yuguan frowned.

[Exactly.] The system nodded in satisfaction, figuring that Lu Yuguan should finally try to please it and stop causing trouble.

But who knew that Lu Yuguan would directly take out his palm and turn it into a palm knife, and circulate his spiritual energy with a "swoosh", ready to attack him at any time.

[…Host, what do you mean? ]

Instantly, Lu Yuguan burst into tears and said with extreme sorrow: "Actually, if you don't like me, you can just say it directly. There's no need to insult me like this!"

System: ...If it really comes to that, you don’t even need to do anything.

[As long as it doesn't affect others, playing with abstractions isn't uncivilized.] The system said coldly.

"Hehehe, Tong-chan is the best!" Lu Yu collected the green spiritual energy in his palm with concern and satisfaction.

System: Am I too lenient with him?

"Hurry, hurry, isn't there a mall? Let me see what treasures there are!" Lu Yuguan's thoughts changed, and the panel in front of him turned into a store display board, with a wide variety of goods hanging on it.

Lu Yuguan's fingers slid slightly, and the shelves kept changing the items.

"Resurrection Jadeite, Golden Lotus Pill, Black Ink Turtle Shell, Braised Beef Noodles... No, what was that thing that just floated over?" Lu Yuguan looked at these valuable goods, the cheapest of which cost dozens of civilization values, and felt really distressed.

[Host can try the lottery mechanism.] The system prompted.

Lu Yuguan suddenly became interested again. He looked at the turntable button at the bottom of the store and clicked it tremblingly. A prize pool flashing with golden light popped up, with a turntable in the center.

"Each draw requires a certain amount of civilization value, with no guaranteed minimum." Lu Yuguan read the relevant information, his cerebellum shrinking instantly, and his head filled with black lines. "System, are you born in the Year of the Horse?"

System: So what?

[Host, this is wrong. The gambler mentality is against the scope of civilization. This is the biggest concession this system has made.]

Lu Yuguan was silent for a long time, and a heavy "hmm" came out of his lips with difficulty. He thought for a moment and then pressed the lottery button in a state of obsession.

[Ding! The lottery is in progress... Prizes are being drawn...]

Oh my god, I was a top-tier non-African when playing games back then. After traveling through time, I should be able to change my fate, right?

[Ding, successful extraction! Congratulations to the host, you have obtained [Goubuli Baozi]*3]

【Goubuli steamed buns|Props】

[Introduction: The fragrant and delicious Goubuli steamed buns are so delicious!]

Looking at the three big meat buns wrapped in oil paper in their hands, both the man and the system fell silent.

Lu Yuguan: ...

system:……

"Tongzi, is this lottery you mentioned legitimate?" Lu Yuguan asked.

[Host, you must believe that good people will be rewarded.] The system said affirmatively.

"I'd rather just kill myself with one palm strike!" Lu Yuguan wiped away tears and picked up the knife again.

"Third Young Master, we've arrived at the Lishutang—"

Before Lu Yuguan could bring his blade down on his neck, the carriage had already come to a steady stop. People stepped down from the carriage one after another, all of them graceful and youthful, full of vigor and vitality.

"Hey, Third Young Master, didn't you just have breakfast?" Bai Doudou immediately noticed the oil paper bag in Lu Yuguan's hand, with steam coming out of the opening.

Lu Yuguan held the meat bun in his hand with a look of despair, and said with a forced smile, "Want one?"

Bai Doudou was not polite. He opened the oil paper bag, grabbed one and threw it into his mouth to chew.

"(chew chew chew)...It's great. The food in the kitchen is getting better and better (chew chew chew)..." Bai Doudou mumbled incoherently.

Nonsense, a whole civilization value!

One!

A whole one!

Just three big meat buns!

It it it...how can it not be delicious?
