Chapter 1831

"Brother Chen, aren't you curious about what I've been busy with outside all these years, and if there are any gains?"

Zhang Daohe was a bit unable to sit still.

Chen Guanlou laughed, "You definitely haven't found the channel to enter the cultivation world."

Zhang Daohe sighed, "It really was guessed right by you; searching everywhere, traveling north and south, going to the Western Regions, going to the deep sea. As long as there were rumors of immortals, I ran a trip. To say there was no harvest at all is not true. In these years, everyone focused on doing one thing, less intrigue, and the cultivation base has improved quite a bit."

"Congratulations!"

Chen Guanlou continued to add water to the teacup.

"Brother Chen, do you agree that there are immortals in the world?"

"Of course I agree." Chen Guanlou pointed to the sky, "The immortal family is not in the same world as us, and the two sides have been isolated for hundreds of years. Brother Zhang, you are trying to open up the passage between the two worlds; do you guess the immortal family will agree?"

Zhang Daohe frowned, "Brother Chen is suspecting that these years I returned empty-handed because I alarmed the immortal family. The immortal family has closed all abandoned passages."

"There is this possibility! With Brother Zhang's ability, financial resources, manpower, and unyielding persistence, as well as super execution, there was no harvest in these years; there must be a reason. I don't think it's because you are not good, nor do I think it's because your luck is not good; it must be that someone is obstructing it."

Chen Guanlou gave enough emotional value.

Zhang Daohe's gaze became firm again, "You are right, it must be that some link went wrong. In the final analysis, it is a lack of talent. I need a master proficient in feng shui and arithmetic."

"The master who helped you survey the underground palace of the previous dynasty, why not find him? Everyone is an acquaintance; if there is a first cooperation, there will be a second cooperation."

"You mean Jin Fulai; he disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Chen Guanlou was surprised, "Really disappeared? After coming out of the underground palace, you haven't found him?"

Zhang Daohe nodded and admitted, "That year, after we came out of the underground palace, Jin Fulai disappeared, life or death unknown. Some people said he died in the underground palace, but I don't believe it. So many people entered the underground palace and were able to come out; with Jin Fulai's ability, there is no reason he couldn't come out.

There are also people who said he encountered a great opportunity and went to the immortal world; I vaguely suspect it. Jin Fulai didn't die in the underground palace; he must have obtained a great opportunity, maybe he really went to the immortal world, who knows."

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in wonder.

Jin Fulai, he remembered clearly, was a person with real ability. Measuring horoscopes and looking at faces, there was nothing inaccurate; setting feng shui, looking at mountains and terrain, there was nothing he couldn't do.

He could be called an all-rounder.

It was a pity for such a talent to die.

Obtaining an opportunity and entering the cultivation world, Chen Guanlou was half-believing.

If the cultivation world was so easy to enter, why hadn't he heard rumors of someone ascending in the middle and late stages of the Great Yu Dynasty? Looking at the history of the Great Yu Dynasty, he only heard of immortals descending to the world to save people. He had never heard of people getting guidance from immortals, finally achieving the right result, attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal, and ascending to the upper world.

"Have you ever thought that Jin Fulai might still be in the underground palace?"

Zhang Daohe was shocked, "That's impossible!"

So many years have passed, how could a living person live in the underground palace?

"Jin Fulai couldn't have been unable to come out." He didn't believe it.

Chen Guanlou was very dismissive of the other party not understanding his meaning, "I didn't say he couldn't come out; my meaning is, is it possible that for these years, Jin Fulai has been living in the underground palace, only occasionally coming out to purchase supplies?

Just as you said, with Jin Fulai's ability, it is very possible he obtained a great opportunity in the underground palace. However, this opportunity cannot be absorbed in one day; after absorption, it doesn't mean it can be mastered in a short time.

With your White Lotus Sect's ability, even in a place like the Great Wilderness, you have believers; finding someone is easy. For so many years, you haven't been able to find Jin Fulai; haven't you thought that he hid himself, hiding right under your nose? As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp!"

Zhang Daohe was surprised, "You really think it's possible he hid in the underground palace, living in the underground palace for these years? How... how could he live in the underground palace?"

"With his ability, why couldn't he live in the underground palace? He is the person who eats this bowl of rice; with his ability, the underground palace is like his own home."

Chen Guanlou admired Jin Fulai from the bottom of his heart and would never underestimate this person's ability, only estimating it higher.

For such a capable person, he could accept any strange thing happening to him. He even thought that if such a person's life was too plain, it would be a waste of his ability.

Zhang Daohe pondered the possibility, "According to what you said, it is very necessary to go to the underground palace to inquire. As long as he comes out to purchase supplies, he will definitely leave traces; the surrounding mountain people might have met him..."

The more he said, the more excited he became, wishing he could rush to the underground palace immediately to investigate clearly.

"Is Brother Chen willing to go with me?"

"Why should I go with you?"

"You have strong luck; if we join forces on this trip, we will definitely succeed. Does Brother Chen really have no thoughts about cultivation?"

Chen Guanlou thought: Of course he had thoughts about cultivation, but he possessed the Longevity Dao Fruit, infinite life, so he wasn't in a hurry. He could wait, fifty or a hundred years would be fine.

However, looking at Zhang Daohe's eager appearance, and thinking about Jin Fulai's ability, he also really wanted to know what kind of opportunity Jin Fulai had obtained.

"I can go to the underground palace with you. However, you must first help me find the leader of the Bai Shen Sect."

"Okay, deal!"

Zhang Daohe agreed readily. Agreeing on the next meeting time, he didn't stay and left the Chen family courtyard immediately.

Chen Guanlou was in a good mood, went to the Heavenly Prison to work early the next morning, humming a tune, not hiding his inner excitement at all.

A group of subordinates saw this and took the opportunity to make requests, ask for benefits, and complain.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand, all agreed, just as a welfare benefit.

Huang Ye took the opportunity to complain, saying that Li Shuan privately extorted prisoners, and the money obtained all went into his personal pocket, not into the public account.

Chen Guanlou:...

He knew Li Shuan was not a good thing.

He sent someone to call Li Shuan over, and straight to the point, he asked directly: "I heard that you have been extorting prisoners privately, and the money obtained all went into your personal pocket, not into the public account; is there such a thing?"

Li Shuan was shocked; this matter had just started, and it was done very secretly, how could it be discovered by Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen.

He tried to stay calm, "My lord, I am wronged! I have always been diligent and conscientious; I dare not say I have merit, but I have had hard work. Who is it that complained in front of you, I want to confront him."

Chen Guanlou smiled, not quite smiling, "Are you saying you didn't extort prisoners, or that you didn't put the money obtained from extortion into your personal pocket and not into the public account?"

"My lord, I really didn't do it! How can I admit to things I haven't done." Li Shuan insisted on not admitting it.

There was still a chance if he didn't admit it; once he admitted it, he suspected Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen would take the opportunity to drive him out of the Heavenly Prison.

This skin of a Heavenly Prison guard gave him great convenience, and he didn't want to lose this identity.

"Fine, your mouth is hard enough!" Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "I hope you can stay this hard. Step back! Don't let me catch you again!"
