Inside the "Li Wang" club, the news of Gong Gong knocking out the force-measuring machine and defeating the foreign strongman "Bear" Karl spread like a virus online, sparking even wider discussion and attention. Although the authorities and platforms intentionally controlled the heat, deleting some overly exaggerated videos and posts, the reputation of the "mysterious giant Gong Gong" had been completely established, even stirring up a trend of pursuing ultimate strength.

Inside the rented house, however, it was like another world.

After several days of deep recovery, not only had Goddess Nüwa restored all of her depleted mind and Dao rhythm, but she also seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the fusion of her own power with the laws of this world. The aura around her was even more harmonious and natural, and the vitality Dao rhythm originating from the source of creation no longer overflowed uncontrollably as it had at first, but was restrained and stable like breathing. She was still immersed in "creation" every day, and the paintings in her sketchbook became more and more vivid and lifelike, and the clay sculptures became more and more realistic and full of spirituality.

Tong Tian still maintained his rhythm, spending most of his time in front of the computer "learning" the knowledge of this world, his divine sense shrouded around, vigilant against all potential threats. In his opinion, the storm caused by Gong Gong was nothing more than a frolic between ants, and as long as it didn't affect this place, he wouldn't bother to interfere. His attention was more focused on analyzing those more secretive auras that were trying to pry into this place, especially the "Dark Shadow" that had previously recorded Gong Gong's battle and later appeared in the building opposite.

Lin Fan was jumping back and forth between excitement and anxiety. He was excited that Gong Gong's high salary had greatly alleviated his financial pressure, and he no longer had to worry about the food and rent for the four of them (including himself). He was anxious that the more high-profile Gong Gong was, the more attention he would attract, and the threatening text message and the secretly peeping "Dark Shadow" were like thorns in his heart.

He communicated his concerns with Tong Tian and Nüwa again.

Tong Tian just replied coldly: "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it." His words were full of confidence in his absolute strength.

Nüwa, while gently shaping a cute little clay Qilin with her fingers, said gently: "Good fortune lies within disaster, and disaster lies within good fortune. Lin Fan, now that you have embarked on this path, you must treat it with a normal heart. Improving yourself is the foundation for dealing with all changes."

Her voice carried a strange soothing power, which gradually calmed Lin Fan's anxious heart. Yes, worrying is useless, only becoming stronger.

He practiced the Supreme Clarity Heart-Cleansing Mantra even more diligently, and his sense of the sword intent seed became clearer and clearer. Although he still couldn't control it, the growth and condensation of his mental power was real.

However, the tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease. The peace of their "Shelter" was destined to be short-lived.

On this day, Zhou Wenyuan visited again. Unlike last time, when he was filled with fanaticism and possessiveness, this time, his face was filled with a mixture of excitement, shock, and unparalleled respect.

"Master Nüwa! Mr. Lin!" As soon as Zhou Wenyuan entered the door, he bowed deeply to Nüwa and Lin Fan, his posture even more humble than before.

"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong?" Lin Fan asked with some confusion.

Zhou Wenyuan straightened up, his face flushed with excitement: "Master! It's amazing! It's really amazing!" He said incoherently, "I... after I took back the Master's Orchid Grass Painting, I didn't put it on a high shelf, but hung it in the Jingxin place in my study. I am ashamed to say that in recent years, this junior has been busy with worldly affairs, and my mind has been restless, and I have been suffering from insomnia and dreams for a long time, and the effect of seeking medical treatment is minimal. But since hanging the Master's painting, whenever I am restless, I only need to sit quietly and watch the painting for a moment, and I can feel a cool and peaceful air flowing around my body, and my mind is soothed. In recent days, I have been sleeping very sweetly, and my spirit is strong, as if I am ten years younger!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "This is definitely not a psychological effect! My wife has migraines, and occasionally when she sits in the study for a while, her headaches can be relieved by more than half! The Master's work can no longer be described as 'art', this is... this is a 'sacred object' containing life energy!"

Lin Fan understood when he heard this. Goddess Nüwa's paintings contain her creation Dao rhythm, which has the effect of calming the mind, nourishing vitality, and for mortals who are physically and mentally exhausted, the effect is naturally significant. This Zhou Wenyuan has a good opportunity to feel the wonders of it.

Nüwa was not surprised by this, but smiled faintly: "Grass and trees have spirits, and Jingxin can be obtained. It is your own sincerity that has attracted a trace of tranquility from the painting."

"Master is too modest!" Zhou Wenyuan waved his hands repeatedly, and then, a more solemn look appeared on his face, "Master, this junior has come here this time not only to thank you, but also to ask for something, a request that I hope the Master will consider."

"Please speak freely."

Zhou Wenyuan took a deep breath and looked eagerly at the "Living Soil" statue on the windowsill that exuded a gentle Dao rhythm, as well as the other clay statues full of spirituality that Nüwa had recently completed (such as the crane and Qilin), and said cautiously: "This junior knows very well that these 'sacred objects' of the Master that contain supreme Dao rhythm cannot be measured by worldly money, and this junior dare not have the heart to desecrate and possess them. But... can the Master allow this junior to find a truly appreciative person who can make offerings to one or two of the less 'core' works?"

Seeing that Nüwa's expression was calm and she did not refuse immediately, he quickly added: "This junior is definitely not for profit! I just want to extend the Master's 'grace of creation' to more people in need! You see, just like the Orchid Grass Painting is beneficial to me, if there are other people who are troubled by worldly affairs and diseases, if they can benefit from the Master's work, wouldn't it be immeasurable merit? As for the income... this junior will not take a penny, and will offer it all to the Master, which can be regarded as this junior's contribution to spreading the Master's Dao rhythm!"

His words were beautiful, both elevating Nüwa and showing that he was not for personal gain, but for "spreading merit."

Lin Fan's heart moved when he heard this. Offer all the proceeds? This Zhou Wenyuan has really gone to great lengths, or rather, he is really convinced by Nüwa's "miracle" and wants to hold on to this thigh tightly.

Nüwa pondered for a moment. She had no concept of money, but she was touched by Zhou Wenyuan's words about "benefiting those in need" and "merit." She was the mother of the Human Race, and she had compassion for all living beings. If her casual works could really alleviate the suffering of others and bring peace, it would not be against her original intention.

"I know what you mean." Nüwa said slowly, "Living Soil is where my Dao rhythm lies, and it cannot be moved lightly. As for some other playthings..."

Her eyes swept over the newly completed, lifelike clay Qilin on the table, as well as the few small animals she had made before, and she said softly: "If you encounter someone who is truly sincere and needs this thing to calm their mind and nourish their nature, it is not impossible for you to help them form a relationship. However, you must remember not to cast pearls before swine, and you must not use this to do evil."

She agreed, but also gave restrictions and warnings.

Zhou Wenyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he had received an imperial decree, and quickly bowed and replied: "Master, don't worry! This junior will definitely abide by your teachings! I will definitely choose truly destined and virtuous people with the utmost caution! I will never dare to tarnish the Master's sacred objects!"

He was so excited that he almost danced. With Nüwa's words, it was as if he had obtained the exclusive agency rights to these "masterpieces"! The significance of this was far from being measured by money! This represented a shortcut to a higher level of "circle," representing immeasurable connections and resources!

The next thing progressed unexpectedly smoothly, and unexpectedly... sensationally.

Zhou Wenyuan's energy was indeed not to be underestimated. He did not publicize it in a big way, but only released some news in that top-level, extremely private small circle - in his hands, there were "creation sacred objects" personally made by the mysterious "Master Nüwa," containing the miraculous effects of calming the mind, nourishing vitality, available for forming a relationship.

At first, some people were skeptical. But when a top tycoon who had suffered from severe anxiety for many years spent a lot of money to invite back a "Spirit Turtle Carrying a Chart" clay statue made by Nüwa, exuding a peaceful Dao rhythm, and placed it in his bedroom, his insomnia and palpitations that had plagued him for many years were greatly relieved within a few days, the news spread like wildfire in this top circle!

At their level, money was almost a number, and health, longevity, and peace of mind were what they most desired and could not reach! Nüwa's works just hit their core needs!

For a time, Zhou Wenyuan's phone was blown up. Those who sought to buy, those who begged to see the master, those who were willing to pay any price... were endless.

Zhou Wenyuan kept Nüwa's warning in mind, carefully selected, and finally released only three works: the "Spirit Turtle Carrying a Chart", a "Azure Phoenix Holding Ganoderma", and a Secluded Valley Clear Spring Painting that Nüwa painted in her spare time.

The way to form a relationship was not a public auction, but a private, small-scale appreciation meeting. Those who were invited to participate were all top figures with assets of hundreds of millions and a huge influence in their respective fields.

The details of the appreciation meeting were not known to outsiders, but the final result shocked the entire upper-class collection circle and the wealthy circle.

The "Spirit Turtle Carrying a Chart" was invited away by an Internet giant for a sky-high price of 98 million!

The "Azure Phoenix Holding Ganoderma" was bought by an overseas Chinese tycoon for 120 million!

And the Secluded Valley Clear Spring Painting was exchanged by a low-key big shot with a deep background for an immeasurable value of partial property rights of a courtyard house in the core area of ​​the capital, plus an amazing amount of cash!

The total value of the three works exceeded 300 million RMB! And it was priceless, and many people could not get one even if they held money!

Although the news was strictly blocked, in that top small circle, the name "Master Nüwa" had become a legend, a symbol representing mystery, health, and supreme opportunity! Zhou Wenyuan also rose with the tide and his status was detached.

When Zhou Wenyuan handed the few thin bank cards and property documents representing huge wealth to Lin Fan with incomparable respect and excitement, Lin Fan was stunned.

Three... more than 300 million?! And partial property rights of a courtyard house in the capital?!

This... this is even faster and more violent than Gong Gong making money by boxing!

Looking at the light cards and documents in his hand, he felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and his hands were shaking. He knew that Goddess Nüwa's works were extraordinary, but the speed and amount of this realization far exceeded his imagination!

"Nüwa created humans, I... I created a rich woman..." Lin Fan looked at Goddess Nüwa, who was still quietly kneading clay, and didn't care about the huge wealth outside the window, and a very absurd feeling surged in his heart.

Tong Tian didn't react to this, just glanced at the bank card and said lightly: "Yellow and white things are a burden outside the body."

Nuwa didn't even lift her eyelids, as if the 300 million was just three pieces of mud. She gently placed the clay statue of the nine-tailed fox, which had already taken shape and had agile and cunning eyes, on the windowsill, accompanied by the "Breathing Earth," and said softly: "Money is useless to me, Lin Fan, you can dispose of it yourself. If it is used to help the world and help others, it is also a good deed."

Lin Fan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He understood that this enormous wealth was both an opportunity and a greater test and trouble. He didn't know how many eyes would be fixed on this place because of this amazing transaction.

He carefully put away the bank card and documents, already calculating how to use the money. Improving his life was a must, at least by moving to a larger, more secluded residence? As for the rest, perhaps he could do something meaningful, as Goddess Nüwa had said...

However, great wealth is often accompanied by great risk.

Not long after Zhou Wenyuan left, Lin Fan's phone rang again, another unfamiliar number. This time, the voice on the other end was no longer a cold electronic one, but a male voice with a somewhat effeminate smile:

"Mr. Lin Fan, is it? Congratulations, you've become a billionaire in the blink of an eye. Master Nüwa's 'Philosopher's Touch' is truly amazing."

Lin Fan's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important." The other party chuckled. "What's important is that we are very interested in Master Nüwa and her miraculous 'Power of Creation' that can turn decay into wonder. I wonder if Mr. Lin Fan would be willing to introduce us? Of course, the reward... will satisfy you, far more than what Zhou Wenyuan offered."

The other party's tone carried a condescending temptation and an implication that refusal was not an option.

Lin Fan's heart sank. Here it comes! A more dangerous force had finally surfaced because of this huge wealth and the magic displayed by Goddess Nüwa!

He hung up the phone directly, his face grave as he looked at Tong Tian and Nüwa.

"Here we go again?" Tong Tian raised an eyebrow, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

Nüwa also stopped what she was doing, frowned slightly, sensed for a moment, and said softly, "This time... the visitors are ill-intentioned, their hearts filled with greed and filth, not seekers of the Dao."

Lin Fan clenched his fists, feeling a huge pressure bearing down on him.

The light of wealth had not yet faded, and the shadow of danger had already loomed. He, the protector of this "sugar mommy," seemed to be facing an even more severe challenge.
