The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 147 Mu Yun presents a gift; someone challenges him to a duel?

"Mu Yun?"

Yin Shuo also saw the flying vehicle at the entrance of the manor, and his previous fatigue vanished instantly.

"Lu Yan, I bet Mu Yun definitely knows your identity as a [teacher] and is trying to win you over."

Lu Yan remained noncommittal. After all, he had never intended to hide this code name, so it was normal for Mu Yun to know it.

However, any attempt to win them over is doomed to fail.

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair stepped down from the aircraft. He had a kind and benevolent appearance and naturally gave people a sense of closeness.

Yin Shuo was somewhat surprised when he saw the old man.

"Lin Mu, the Jupiter of the Five Elders? Wow, Lu Yan, you've got some serious influence!"

"If you're envious, why don't you go in my place?"

Lu Yan shrugged, but secretly sent a message to his master.

Although the Five Elders were no match for Master, they were still standard Sequence 4 powerhouses.

He was genuinely unsure of himself when someone like that came to talk to him privately.

Although the other party is unlikely to attack me on the grounds of the courthouse, it's always better to be cautious.

At this moment, Lin Mu had already reached the entrance of the manor and rang the doorbell, showing no arrogance despite his strength.

Judging from this attitude, other superhumans would probably be too excited to contain themselves.

However, Lu Yan was used to this kind of routine in his previous life, so he didn't feel anything. He simply walked calmly to the door, opened it, and welcomed the guest.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, old man, by showing up uninvited."

Lin Mu greeted Lu Yan with a warm smile.

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. Please come in."

Since the guest was not unwelcome, Lu Yan naturally did not act impolitely and led Lin Mu into the central villa.

It's hard to believe, but this was the first time Lu Yan had entered the central villa since he moved into the manor.

Fortunately, there are people specifically responsible for cleaning here on weekdays, so there is no problem in entertaining guests.

"Mr. Lu is busy with his cultivation, so this old man will not waste any more words."

Lin Mu got straight to the point, taking out three scrolls and placing them in front of Lu Yan.

"I sincerely invite Mr. Lu to join my Muyun Research Department as the deputy director. The complete information from these three channels is the gift I will give you."

"Deputy Minister of Scientific Research?"

Before Lu Yan could speak, Yin Shuo was shocked.

After Muyun invested in the experimental building, it recruited many students from the Primordial Academy, but most of them were recruited to be ordinary researchers or other combat positions.

But to be appointed as a vice minister right off the bat, Mu Yun has really gone all out this time!

"Actually, I originally wanted to invite you to the position of minister, but I was afraid it would cause misunderstandings, so I can only ask Mr. Lu to do it for now."

Lin Mu was quite frank, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Lu Yan'e, and said, "Mr. Lu, there's no need to belittle yourself."

We have carefully studied all the branch paths in the deduction, and their potential is in no way inferior to the core path.

"If combined with the intelligence Mu Yun has accumulated over the years, we will surely be able to develop more and stronger paths. At that time, why should we worry about humanity not being able to break through the gray fog?"

Lin Mu spoke bluntly, but Lu Yan, having already learned of Mu Yun's thoughts through Xue Jiansheng's guidance, didn't find it particularly surprising.

"I'm sorry, I'm still just a student, and I'm afraid I can't shoulder this responsibility."

After a moment's thought, Lu Yan declined Lin Mu's invitation.

To take something, you must first give something.

Mu Yun paid such a high price right from the start, so it's really hard to get anything out of him. I can only reluctantly refuse.

But Lin Mu was even more straightforward than he had imagined; he only paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"The old man understands, but Mr. Lu, there's no need to refuse so quickly. Muyun will always reserve this position for you."

Lin Mu stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"Those three paths are a small gift for our meeting; the old man has left them here. Mr. Lu, please accept them. Farewell!"

After saying that, Lin Mu got up and left without any hesitation.

"This looks like they're running away."

Yin Shuo scratched his head, completely baffled as to why Lin Mu was in such a hurry.

Even if it's to show magnanimity, that's not how you do it.

On the contrary, Lu Yan understood what was going on after seeing Xue Jiansheng's holy sword pass by Lin Mu's flying vehicle.

This isn't just a resemblance, it's a real escape!

The holy sword landed, revealing Xue Jiansheng's figure. Upon seeing the three scrolls on the table, Xue Jiansheng couldn't help but sneer.

"These old bastards, they dare to poach our employees so blatantly while I'm still around! They're asking for trouble!"

Lu Yan shrugged helplessly. He hadn't expected this, let alone Xue Jiansheng.

After all, according to their original plan, Mu Yun would at most invest some resources and then proceed slowly. Who would have thought that he would be so direct?

"It seems they've really hit a bottleneck."

Xue Jiansheng picked up the three scrolls, quickly scanned them, and handed them to Lu Yan only after confirming that there were no problems.

"There's nothing wrong with any of these three paths; they're sufficient as nourishment. However, you can decide the specifics yourself."

"Thank you, Master. I will consider it carefully."

Lu Yan nodded slightly; he naturally understood the meaning of "nutrients" that his master had mentioned.

The smelting method taught by my master is to use other branch sequences as nutrients to concentrate on nurturing a core path.

Although the combat tactics may be somewhat limited, the result is an even more extreme level of power.

But this is just one option for him; the specific choice depends on how his sequences choose.

Seeing Lu Yan's expression, Xue Jiansheng didn't say anything more.

His grand-disciple has his own ideas, so he doesn't need to discipline him too much.

All he could do was keep an eye on those old guys and make sure the clerk himself didn't get involved.

"Well, I'll be going now."

Yin Shuo realized that Xue Jiansheng had something to say to Lu Yan, and wisely suggested leaving.

He was really struggling and needed to rest as soon as possible.

If Lu Yan really drags him into cultivation again tomorrow, that would be a disaster.

After Yin Shuo left, Xue Jiansheng activated his domain again, enveloping Lu Yan within it.

"Some trouble might arise at the shelter in a while, and your master might not be able to keep an eye on you then, so please be very careful."

As soon as Xue Jiansheng spoke, Lu Yan's expression turned serious.

It sounds like the fishing plan is coming to an end?

"However, this is also an opportunity. If you're lucky, you might be able to meet the requirements for becoming a Retribution Knight."

"it is good."

Lu Yan readily nodded; he would have taken the initiative even without Xue Jiansheng reminding him.

After all, these followers of the Strange God were, to him, walking Strange God power!

Xue Jiansheng gave a few more instructions and checked Lu Yan's cultivation. After sensing the power in Lu Yan's body that was basically in balance, the smile on his face became even wider.

If he had met Lu Yan years earlier, he probably would have personally taken on the role of disciple.

Now, it's just that Yao Xiangyang who's in the best position.

"I'll be going now, no need to see me off."

Xue Jiansheng was once again enveloped by the holy sword. Just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but give another word of advice.

"Go visit Qing'er more often. Don't just focus on cultivation all day; no one will want you!"

Lu Yan: "???"

No, Master, why did you switch your style so quickly? Why are you suddenly concerned about these things?

Lu Yan sighed helplessly, but dared not say anything.

Their seniority is too high, their strength is too great, we can't afford to mess with them!

He packed up the three scrolls and was about to return to the cultivation building to study them carefully when he heard someone ring the doorbell again.

"What's going on today? Everyone came together."

Lu Yan pinched the bridge of his nose and suddenly understood why the Taoist priests in his previous life spent all their time hiding in the deep mountains.

The main focus is on creating a quiet environment!

Fortunately, the person who came was not an idler; it was Qian Xin, whom he had entrusted to help purchase the extraordinary materials.

"Young Master Lu, we've almost gathered all the materials you requested. Could you please check if there are any problems?"

Qian Xin directed his men to move boxes of extraordinary materials into Lu Yan's home, his face full of flattery.

Lu Yan glanced at the materials, saw that there were no problems, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, you can deduct the commission yourself."

In business, he wouldn't try to take advantage of Qian Xin just because of his attitude towards him.

"No, no, I've already made a lot of money following Young Master Lu, how could I possibly accept commission?"

Qian Xin naturally refused the money, waving his hands repeatedly in refusal.

"Young Master Lu, I haven't touched the money in your card yet. If you don't mind, you can keep it with me for now. You can earn more money in future gambling battles."

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. There are actually businessmen who help others make money off themselves? That's unbelievable!

"Young Master Lu, don't overthink it. I'm not the only one involved in gambling matches."

Qian Xin chuckled and said, "Young Master Lu, you're a hot favorite right now, but there are always people who don't believe in fate and insist on taking a gamble."

"A fool wouldn't pass up such a great opportunity; we certainly can't miss it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly understood and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you to operate."

Upon hearing Lu Yan's agreement, Qian Xin nodded excitedly and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"Chen Qi, the No.0.4 on the Golden List, just contacted me yesterday, wanting to challenge you to a duel, Young Master Lu. Are you interested, Young Master Lu?"

"If I could, I'd arrange for people to spread the news right away; it'll be a huge event!"

"Can we still challenge them to another match?"

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised. If this were the case, wouldn't he be able to snatch the Golden Blood from those who ranked higher in the future?

"Following the rules won't work; no one can change the rules of the fighting arena."

Qian Xin rubbed his hands together and said, "But rules are rules, people are flexible. As long as you, Young Master Lu, take the initiative to challenge us, then there won't be any problem."

Lu Yan was speechless. All this trouble just to fight someone ranked lower than him?

But soon, Qian Xin explained the whole story.

Because of Lu Yan's incredible performance a few days ago, everyone is looking forward to Lu Yan continuing to take on challenges.

But after so many days, Lu Yan still hasn't shown up, and some people are starting to get restless.

Some people believe that Lu Yan gave up voluntarily because he realized he was no match for Chen Qi.

However, others believe that Lu Yan didn't take it seriously at all and would come back to crush him when he had time.

The two groups argued about this, which has become a major topic of discussion recently.

Lu Yan was so engrossed in cultivation that he knew nothing about this, but Chen Qi couldn't stand the questioning, so he took the initiative to challenge him to a duel.

"That's a bad attitude."

Lu Yan smacked his lips and suddenly asked, "Since the other party initiated the challenge, can I make demands?"
