Chapter 212 Father and son talk
Lu Hongbo persuaded Lu Tianhao to borrow money from a loan shark. Lu Tianhao thought that it would only take a month at most, and he would be able to pay off the loan shark after the gold mine was mined, so he decided to take a gamble.
So he borrowed one million taels of gold from the "Changshengku" and bought the gold mine.
At first, it was fine. As expected, a lot of large pieces of gold were mined, and Lu Tianhao felt relieved.
However, after a few days, mining could no longer be carried out. Not only was there no gold at the bottom of the mine, but there were also strange rocks. The rocks were so hard that no human power could shake them.
Lu Tianhao panicked and ordered people to mine from other places, but they found nothing. Lu Tianhao then realized that he had been cheated.
So he borrowed money from everywhere to pay off the loan sharks first, but none of his old friends and relatives were willing to help and lend money to Lu Tianhao to tide over the crisis.
A month passed quickly, and Lu Tianhao's hair turned white due to excessive anxiety.
But what is coming cannot be avoided. "Changshengku" calculated the time and came to collect the debt, but Lu Tianhao had no money to pay it back, so he could only ask the people from "Changshengku" for a few months' grace period.
Although the manager of the "Changshengku" agreed to give Lu Tianhao a few months' grace period, the interest rate would increase.
There was no other way, Lu Tianhao had to agree to the other party, thinking that if he worked hard in his old job, he might still have a chance to turn things around.
However, as if things didn't get worse, Lu Tianhao also ran into problems in his business. After a few months, not only did he not make any money, he even lost a huge sum.
Finally, when the people from "Changshengku" came to collect the debt again, Lu Tianhao had no choice but to use the Lu family's assets to pay off the debt because he could not pay. He originally thought that was enough.
As a result, the usury increased from one million taels of gold to five million taels of gold, including principal and interest. There was no choice but for the father to mortgage all his property and the gold mine to the "Changshengku" to pay off the debt.
It was also at that time that Lu Tianhao's health began to deteriorate.
Later, my father brought my mother here and used the little money he had left to buy two shabby thatched huts as a place to live.
Laibao, grateful for Lu Chen's help, did not leave with the other servants.
Instead, he always stayed with Lu Chen's parents without asking for any wages, and even went out to earn money to support them.
After listening to this, Lu Chen was deeply moved and couldn't help but look at Lai Bao again.
"Humph! Changshengku has such a big appetite that it dares to charge such a high interest rate, Dad! Don't worry, now that I'm back, leave the rest to me!
"Oh, by the way, Dad! Do you have any idea about your poisoning?" Lu Chen asked.
"Alas... Never mind, it's all in the past. I'm already very happy to see you again. Besides, with your current abilities, there's no need to worry about my Lu family not being able to prosper."
Lu Tianhao was unwilling to mention his poisoning and was very relieved that his son had returned.
He was very clear about his physical condition and knew that it was something that Lu Chen gave him to eat that caused his immediate improvement.
I thought to myself that my son must have learned some magic from the immortals, which is why it has such an effect.
"Hehehe... Yes, Chen'er! Now I understand that the most important thing is that the family is together and safe.
I'll find you a marriage partner when the time comes so we can have a grandson sooner." Chen walked to the bedside and said with a smile.
She had seen Lu Chen's methods clearly just now and was very satisfied with her son's changes.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen instantly understood his parents' thoughts. They thought that he would not leave after completing his studies, and they also expected him to carry forward the Lu family.
"Father! Mother, please forgive me for being unfilial and not being able to stay by your side forever. Although I have made some progress in my cultivation, I am still far from the great path.
So I must continue to work hard on my cultivation. This time I came back just... just passing by, but I will often take time to come back to visit you two. I hope you will understand. "
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, Lu Chen said solemnly and resolutely, and then he knelt down at the feet of Lu Tianhao and Chen, refusing to kowtow.
When Chen heard this, she knew her son was leaving again, and she burst into tears and kept complaining about how miserable her life was and how wronged she was.
Laibao was secretly worried about his master and mistress, but he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that Lu Chen was kneeling for a long time and was determined, Lu Tianhao, as a man, naturally understood his son's thoughts.
Now his son is no longer the playboy who gave him a headache, but the immortal cultivator that ordinary people aspire to be. Naturally, he has his own pursuits.
Lu Tianhao smiled helplessly and sighed, "Chen'er! Get up soon! Your father supports your idea, but I hope you can come back to see us more often while we are still alive."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen kowtowed again, stood up and said with a smile:
"Father! Do you still remember that I said I would find an elixir to extend your lifespan? Although I haven't found the elixir that can extend your lifespan yet,
But I have another kind of elixir that can cleanse your tendons and marrow, and it can change your current physical condition.
When I find an elixir that can increase life span, I will make sure you two live forever."
Lu Chen made such a boast to reassure his parents. In fact, it was a bit exaggerated to say that he could live forever. Even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage could not live forever.
But Lu Tianhao believed it. He laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha... my son has a heart. Then won't your mother and I become old monsters?"
"I don't want eternal life. I just want my son to be by my side," Chen sobbed.
"Hmph! You are such a woman with a soft spot for mercy. Chen'er, don't listen to your mother. Just focus on your cultivation. My body has recovered now.
At worst, I can start over again. I believe that it won't be long before I can make a career and let your mother live a good life. " Lu Tianhao cheered up again, his eyes full of confidence.
Seeing Lu Tianhao's serious expression, Chen, as a woman, did not dare to disobey Lu Tianhao and could only sit aside and be angry.
That night, Lu Chen came to his parents' room, took out a Rejuvenating Pill and broke it in half.
He gave them each the medicine and used his true energy to help them absorb the medicinal power while also preventing any accidents from happening.
The anti-aging pill has the effect of cleansing the bones and marrow, regenerating the face, and changing the physical constitution.
Under the effect of the anti-aging pill, my parents' bodies have undergone great changes.
My father, Lu Tianhao, originally looked to be in his fifties, with almost all white hair.
But under the effect of the anti-aging pill, he looked a lot younger, about forty years old, and he was full of energy.
Mother Chen also turned into a beautiful woman again. If you didn't tell her age, anyone would have thought she was only about 30 years old.
Such a change made the two elders even more astonished at Lu Chen's methods.
Before, they all thought that their son was just talking, but now that they have verified it with their own experience, they never expected that there really is such a magical elixir in this world.
So much so that his mother Chen also changed her mind about Lu Chen's cultivation.
At night, Lu Chen had a long talk with his father Lu Tianhao. Lu Chen briefly recounted some of his experiences in the world of cultivation over the years, of course only reporting good news and not bad news.
But with the father's experience, he could naturally feel the difficulty. Seeing that his son never mentioned it, Lu Tianhao did not ask much. He just sighed that his son had grown up and felt very relieved.
During this time, the old man was curious about Lu Chen's abilities, and Lu Chen even performed some magic spells on purpose, which stunned the old man and made him feel relieved.
Then the father and son talked about their future plans, and the conversation ended at dawn...
