Chapter 172 It’s Hard to Be the Boss
Lu Yu didn't know what happened at the Baoding Peak roundtable meeting.
After he got ten top-notch heavenly materials and earthly treasures from Baoding Peak's material treasure house, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect to get ten topnotch heavenly materials and earthly treasures so easily. This was simply a huge sum. An unexpected windfall!
Although it was not easy for him to refine the Dust Cleansing Pill, which was the pinnacle of his current skills, but compared to the value of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it was all worth it.
After all, these treasures of heaven and earth are treasures with a price but no market. If there is no way, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. Compared with the little effort he expended, this deal is still very cost-effective.
More importantly, Lu Yu has always been limited by the embarrassing situation of being unable to make a living without rice. Now with these ten top-notch natural materials and earthly treasures as a foundation, there is no doubt that he can do more things and give full play to them. The techniques mentioned in the "Lotus Alchemy Sutra" are revealed.
On the way back from Baoding Peak, Lu Yu had been silently thinking about how to deal with these ten top-notch heavenly materials and earthly treasures in order to maximize their effectiveness.
A huge refining plan was quietly brewing in his heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Jade Butterfly Peak, the huge plan in his mind was immediately aborted...
Lu Yu had just walked into the Mirror Garden and was about to show Yang Chudie the ten top-notch treasures he had just harvested. Chu Hongling immediately reported something to him.
"Miss Chudie received the order from Master Hailing and has left Jade Butterfly Peak."
Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Master Hailing's transfer order actually came to Jade Butterfly Peak. From this point of view, there should be significant progress in the investigation of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Where has Senior Sister been transferred? Is there any danger?" Lu Yu asked with a frown.
Although he knew that Yang Chudie was extremely powerful, he had personally experienced how powerful the Supreme Monster was. He knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was certainly not simple, so he could not help but worry about her safety.
Chu Hongling glanced at Lu Yu strangely and replied: "Miss Chudie didn't say where she was going. She only said that she found traces of the rebellious deacon Xu Mingshen and was going to assist Master Hailing in arresting the living. Hailing In order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, the real person has summoned many deacons with profound cultivation, so there should not be any danger..."
Lu Yu nodded, feeling reassured that if this was the case, then the possibility of encountering danger was indeed low.
But he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Since Xu Mingshen had disappeared for so long, how could he suddenly be exposed at this time?
According to common sense, after such a long time, he should have been exiled overseas, or simply silenced. How could he suddenly appear again?
What is the purpose of his sudden appearance?
Lu Yu was frowning and thinking, when suddenly Chu Hongling spoke again: "When Miss Chudie left, she specifically asked me to tell you that she is not on the mountain top, so you must be careful in everything you do and don't cause any trouble again. If you really can’t help but want to cause trouble, you must wait until she comes back, otherwise you may get caught in a fire and burn yourself.”
Lu Yu was very depressed: "What are you talking about, Senior Sister? Do I look like the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?"
Chu Hongling didn't reply, but gave Lu Yu a knowing look.
Lu Yu suddenly became even more depressed.
However, he actually understood in his heart that Yang Chudie's instructions did not mean to blame him, but just reminded him not to attract the wind with a big tree.
Although Jade Butterfly Peak now has unprecedented prestige, there are also more people in the Dali Sword Sect who dislike Jade Butterfly Peak. They hope that he can keep a low profile and act carefully.
"Don't worry. In the next few days, I'm afraid we will be too busy to even take care of eating. How can we have time to go out and cause trouble?"
Lu Yu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed with a headache.
During the recent period, things on Jade Butterfly Peak have been complicated. Originally, Yang Chudie was in charge, and she could still decide on these large and small matters. Now that she is no longer on Jade Butterfly Peak, these thousands of things have become complicated. All emotional matters will naturally fall on him.
Therefore, I am afraid that he will be trapped on Jade Butterfly Peak for a long time, and even the plan to refine the ten top heavenly materials and earthly treasures will have to be postponed indefinitely.
Sure enough, Lu Yu was surrounded by all kinds of requests for instructions early the next morning.
How to plan the buildings in the East District?
How to install the newly purchased alchemy furnace?
How to accommodate new disciples?
The inventory of a certain material is in short supply, how should we arrange it?
Two of the new disciples who joined today and the disciples who joined yesterday happened to be enemies of each other. They suddenly got into a fight, and both sides suffered a bloody blow. How should we deal with it?
Things like this occupied Lu Yu's time to the fullest.
Although Lu Yu was unwilling, for the long-term development of Jade Butterfly Peak, he had to be patient and deal with it carefully one by one.
At this moment, Lu Yu deeply realized that it was not easy to be the master of the family.
He couldn't help but deeply miss Lu Yuanshan and Dou Changhe who were far away in Ding'an City.
In the past, when he was in the third room of the Lu family, he was also in charge, but he was far less tired than he is now. This was because he had capable subordinates in the third room of the Lu family and did not need to do everything himself.
On the Jade Butterfly Peak side, since the population of the Jade Butterfly Peak has been small for a long time, there are no complicated affairs to manage. Therefore, except Yang Chudie, the entire Jade Butterfly Peak lacks talents who can take charge of the situation independently.
Now that the Jade Butterfly Peak is growing little by little, this situation naturally cannot continue, otherwise he and Yang Chudie will be consumed by these things every day, and they will never have a moment of their own time.
In view of this, Lu Yu has begun to train backbone members and cultivate their ability to take charge of the situation independently, so as to share the worries of the Jade Butterfly Peak.
The first person he wants to focus on training is naturally Chu Hongling.
Chu Hongling is not only powerful and calm, but also has a natural advantage in her background. She is the personal maid of the sisters Yang Chudie and Yang Yudie. The disciples of the entire Jade Butterfly Peak will not refuse her orders.
The second batch to be trained and promoted are Qi Yunkai, Qin Xiang, Baozi, Su Buyi and the Wen sisters.
There is no deacon on Yudie Peak except Yang Chudie, so these core disciples with higher strength will naturally take on more responsibilities, and even treat them as deacons of other peaks.
Moreover, these people have had close interactions with Lu Yu, and have an almost blind admiration for Lu Yu. It is very convenient for Lu Yu to tell them if he has anything to do.
In addition, Lu Yu originally planned to promote Fang Qian as a key target, but this guy has been insane since he learned the formula of Wuhua Lianxin Pill. He locked himself in the pill room all day and muttered to himself. It is unknown when he will recover.
In addition to these internal affairs, Lu Yu also has to deal with visitors from all over.
Most of these visitors come to inspect the situation of Yudie Peak and want to discuss cooperation. To put it bluntly, they are probably the future God of Wealth of Yudie Peak. Lu Yu naturally dare not be arrogant and has to receive them in person.
At the end of the day, Lu Yu was so tired from seeing off guests that his jaw almost froze from laughing. He felt exhausted, even more tired than when he faced the monsters in the Xiaolitian Secret Realm.
After finally finishing a day's work, Lu Yu stretched himself on a chair in the Beeming Hall and said to Chu Hongling beside him:
"Sister Hongling, I remember there is a hot spring bath in Mingjing Garden, right? Do you know how to open the formation of that hot spring bath? You see, I have been working hard for Yudie Peak all day. Even if Master Aunt is here, she won't mind me borrowing her pool to take a bath, right?"
"That hot spring bath is not Miss Chudie's, but Miss Yudie's exclusive."
Chu Hongling answered expressionlessly.
"Besides, you can't rest yet. Miss Chudie has specifically instructed that an important guest will come to our Yudie Peak tonight, and you must receive this person well."
"And receive?"
Lu Yu's face froze, and then he showed a look of doubt.
"When did Master Nun tell you? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Chu Hongling shrugged and said innocently, "I just received a message from Miss Chudie. This guest changed his schedule temporarily and wanted to visit Yudie Peak. So Miss sent a message back and told us to receive him well."
Lu Yu's heart moved and he sat up straight from his chair.
What kind of guest could it be that Yang Chudie sent a message back to tell them to receive him well while she was on a mission outside?
"Since this guest is so important, do I have to take a bath and change clothes to show respect?"
"So, Sister Hongling, no matter whose pool it is, you open the magic circle first and let me go in for a bath, okay?"
