Chapter 40: A Unique Opportunity
Standing in place, Li Kuan stared straight at the turntable in front of him. Although he couldn't see anything clearly at this time, he just didn't want to look away, he wanted to know what he had drawn as soon as possible. Although the things in it are very tempting, Li Kuan already has some of his own longing goals in his heart.
Slowly, the turntable began to slow down, and the areas above were gradually becoming clear, one by one slowly sliding under the pointer on the top, Li Kuan was shocked to see, because the slower the turntable turned, the more he wanted or what he didn't want to draw were dangling in front of his eyes. For example, the gunpowder formula he wanted, the glass firing formula, etc., have all been turned around.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gorgeous armor that he liked the most, Li Kuan anxiously shouted to stop in his heart, and even stretched out his hand to forcibly stop the turntable from continuing. But his hand was like reaching into the water to catch the moon, but in vain. The turntable was still moving slowly, not pausing for a moment for Li Kuan's thoughts. The armor is gone, and so is a giant Amazon.
Finally the turntable stopped, and what would stop in the area where the pointer was pointing? Li Kuan stared at the icon, which seemed to be a group of people, and expressed puzzlement.
"Ding...... After the lottery is completed, congratulations to the host, the reward will be drawn, and the specific function will be explored by the host itself! The system beeped, but after saying a word, it fell silent. It's just that this sentence makes people want to hit the wall, which is too irresponsible! What does it mean to explore on your own? Just such an icon. A group of figures above, what is this called? Could it be a doppelganger?
Li Kuan thought maliciously, and cursed in his heart at the same time. The system gave birth to a son, Mu has a little brother. But on second thought, it is still a question whether this system can have sons.
Thinking of these nonsensical thoughts, Li Kuan shook his head, threw them out of his mind, and then walked towards Chasing Yun, who was grazing on the side of the road. When he couldn't move, the horse and the big dog were quietly watching over him, but fortunately it was only a remote path. No one came, otherwise Li Kuan's situation at that time would have been regarded as a sudden illness.
Although he didn't get the Gundam he wanted the most, Li Kuan was not discouraged. Because in his system interface, that long number of energy points already made him feel that he could be worth the pain he had endured before.
Traveling all the way, Li Kuan did not stop here, because he was very interested in the remaining blood-red stone. Could it be that this is the legendary power crystal? Before absorbing a whole strip of oil for hair. There were also two large open-pit coal mines that transformed the small flame from pale red to sky blue, and now a few small stones actually filled the bottomless pit behind it, so that they were full of energy for the first time, and they also won this precious lottery opportunity. His mind was all over the thinking of these things, and Li Kuan didn't notice that the horse under his crotch had paced outside Chang'an City.
"Who are you, get off the horse quickly, and in front of you is the important place of Gyeonggi, the son of heaven in Chang'an City." A shout made Li Kuan break free from his complicated thoughts. looked at the Mingde Gate in front of him, speechless for a while. I slept when I went. When I came back, I thought about it all the way, and this time I said that I was going out for a walk, but I missed all the scenery on the road.
Turning over and dismounting, Li Kuan led Chaiyun into the city. The streets in the city have become more prosperous, and countless Tang merchants have poured into the city, mixed with high-nosed and blue-eyed Hu merchants. It was not a business district yet, but it was called a city in this era. Chang'an City has two cities, East and West, which are specially used to sell things to merchants. Li Kuan came back from this trip to have a destination there, because when he came out, the three and a half loli proposed countless things to him, waiting for him to go back and make a business. As for why it is three and a half years old, it is because his newly acquired maid Red Sleeves did not make any requests, this arrogant little girl has always been very interested in Li Kuan.
Coming to the East Market of Chang'an City, where the crowd is more dense, Li Kuan looked around, and the merchants placed countless goods waiting to be sold on both sides of the street, and then squatted on the ground and waited for the buyer to come to the door. They enthusiastically peddled their wares to the people who came and went, shouting loudly one by one. Li Kuan led the horse and walked in the middle of the street, from time to time looking at what these merchants from the Tang Dynasty were selling. I found that the most sold of them was food. A variety of snacks, pastries. And then there's the cloth. There are very few people who sell clothes, because in this era, most people are still used to tearing a few pieces of cloth and making their own clothes. Even the nobles who are high in the sky rarely buy clothes.
Li Kuan bought a lot of things, the seller wrapped them in lotus leaves, and then tied ropes, so that this extraordinarily dressed little boy could take it home, these people were very shrewd, looking at Li Kuan's clothes, plus the handsome and extraordinary horse he was leading, everyone knew that this little boy must be from an extraordinary background, so they all waited very thoughtfully, which made Li Kuan feel extremely comfortable. Of course, this is also related to the class division of the current era, in this era, the class division of Shinong industry and commerce is still very marketable, so as the lowest-level businessman, he was killed by a nobleman, and at most he lost some money. So they all showed twelve points of spirit to receive this little boy, hoping that he would not do anything else when he was satisfied.
Li Kuan did not embarrass these people, he knew the hardships of businessmen better than everyone in this era, and everyone thought that businessmen bought low and sold high to earn the difference, they were opportunistic, did not engage in farming, and were spurned by thousands of people. But who ever knew the efforts of the merchants, who first surveyed the prices of goods in various places, and then selected those that they thought would make money, bought the goods, shipped them, and sold them. In this process, the hard work of the merchants is no less than that of anyone else, but they have never been treated normally, and they all live an inferior life. This made Li Kuan feel sad for them, of course, this is just a momentary emotion, Li Kuan's temperament is actually an ordinary person, when he sees it, he reports injustice, but then he doesn't care about himself. Even if his current identity is to stand up and speak for these businessmen. to be able to change the way they are treated.
Carrying large bags of things along the way, Li Kuan returned to his small courtyard and moved out of the palace. Li Kuan did not choose those high-rise mansions, but a simple and elegant courtyard, and lived in with more than a dozen maids, and then hung a small plaque on the lintel, which was considered to be the opening of the mansion. As for whether this is in line with the rules and regulations of etiquette in this era, Li Kuan can't care so much. If he wants to live comfortably by himself, this small courtyard is the palace in his heart.
For this matter. Li Er also communicated with him specifically, but the two fathers and sons once again insisted on their own opinions, and almost broke up unhappily. This is the second time that Li Kuan has stood on the opposite side of Li Er, and finally Li Er agreed to Li Kuan's decision, but a big archway was erected in front of the door of the small courtyard, showing the noble status of the master's family.
Hand the reins of chasing clouds to the little guy who came to greet him. Li Kuan was followed by the big dog. Walked into the courtyard gate, carrying more snacks in his hands, this is a girl, the two sisters want it by name.
Turning around the small yard, coming to the backyard, and giving the things in his hand to the little girls, Li Kuan smiled and looked at the small games played by these girls in the yard for a while, all of which were played by some girls. After a moment, he lost interest, and he turned to leave. I went to the study to study the stone that I had been curious about.
The blood-colored stone was placed on the desk in the study by him, and then Li Kuan began to look up the information he wanted, and obtained a large amount of huge energy, Li Kuan unscrupulously inquired about the legends and stories of Yushan, even after the era he was in now, and checked them one by one. finally let him find a trace of clues.
It turned out that a hundred years after the Zhenguan period when Li Ergao sat on the dragon chair, this small jade mountain, thirty miles away from Chang'an City, produced a legendary figure, who was praised and even deified by the world. That is Han Xiangzi, one of the three generations of disciples of the Human Sect and one of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong. is the nephew of Han Yu, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, and this immortal who is respected by the world became an immortal in the small Jade Mountain. Of course, this is just a myth and legend, or even just a wild history. It's just that there is no wind in the air, and after Li Kuan absorbed a few pieces of blood-colored stones, the abnormality on his body made Li Kuan have a guess in his heart, then Han Xiangzi must have found these blood-colored stones on the Jade Mountain, and then absorbed some of the energy by chance, so that he would be different from ordinary people. Then he did something beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and finally became respected by the world.
Although Li Kuan does not believe in the theory of immortals and even rejects the so-called gods and Buddhas, in his opinion, this is just the ignorance of the world, and for people and things that they don't understand, they blame them on immortals or demons. There may be many strange things in this world that surpass ordinary people in some aspects, but those who are by no means immortal immortals in legends, but extremely special individuals, whose essence is no different from that of all living beings. This Han Xiangzi must be just one of them.
Just like now, the benefits that Li Kuan got from the blood-colored stone were extremely huge, not only the bottomless pit of the system was filled once, but also his own improvement, the previous cultivation of Ming Jin, unconsciously rose a level, reaching the stage of dark energy that he had never thought of in his previous life. The current Li Kuan's physical strength may not have improved much, but he himself knows that his current self can put his original self to the ground within two or three faces, and if he fights to the death, his previous self will definitely not be the enemy he is now. Such an increase in combat power can be regarded as a rebirth for Li Kuan. Now his body can be said to be a demonic beast in human skin. The speed can reach almost one-tenth of the speed of sound, that is, about thirty-four meters per second, and even the fastest cheetah on land can only eat dust behind Li Kuan. Of course, this is only a theoretical number, as for how fast Li Kuan can run and how much strength he has, these are only known after his own experiments.
After figuring out the origin of the blood-colored stone, Li Kuan couldn't help but have other thoughts in his heart, in the place where Han Xiangzi attained enlightenment, there is this blood-colored stone rich in a lot of energy, so what about other legendary immortals, what is their chance, he seems to have a unique opportunity to quickly increase his energy value, and then draw a reward. As soon as Li Kuan thought of the armed armor he missed, he felt distressed, because the armor was not only strong in defense, but also had other functions, such as flying, firing lasers, changing styles, shapes and colors at will, etc., in short, it was very good, otherwise Li Kuan would not have forgotten it. As for the group of people he drew this time, Li Kuan didn't have a clue at all.
The sky is getting dark, and the two younger sisters are going back to the palace, this is the condition given by Li Er, you can get out of the palace, but you can't stay out of the palace. So Li Kuan said goodbye to Yuzhang, who still wanted to play, and Li Liqing, who was quiet and well-behaved, and watched them drive into the Yanxi Gate in the east of the imperial city in a carriage before he turned around and went back.
