In Chen Zhizhong's yard, there used to be a slightly worn Ford, which looked alright.
But the arrival of the brand-new Cadillac immediately made it look rather inadequate.
A sophisticated woman in her thirties, dressed in bright red satin, circled the new car several times with a broad smile.
This is Chen Zhizhong's wife. Chen Zhizhong glared at her and shouted:
"Stop looking, go and call Yi An Yi Ping out to meet people."
The woman then reluctantly turned and went back into the house.
"A money-grubbing woman."
Chen Zhizhong turned around and said with a smile, "Since you're already here, I won't stand on ceremony."
Lu Li clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I have received your help many times. This small gift is of little value."
"It was just a small favor... Oh, why is there a box here?"
Chen Zhizhong saw a brand-new leather suitcase in the passenger seat and assumed it contained money, but it was surprisingly light when he picked it up.
Lu Li explained, "This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"You're too kind..." Chen Zhizhong opened the package casually, then froze.
The price of "Calming Incense" has risen so much that it's incomprehensible; now, even if you have money, you need connections to buy it.
The box contains enough to last a year; its value cannot be measured simply in money!
Chen Zhizhong quickly closed the box, took a breath, and solemnly said:
"I would have declined if it were anything else, but my two kids really need Calming Incense... Thank you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a boy and a girl, both around twelve years old, came over.
The two looked remarkably alike, clearly a brother and sister, and at that moment they bowed together, saying:
"Chen Yian and Chen Yiping greet our honored guest!"
The brother and sister were both exceptionally talented and beautiful, with elegant demeanor.
Xiao Cha sincerely exclaimed, "It's difficult for martial artists to have offspring; your twins are the envy of countless people."
Chen Zhizhong was tickled and couldn't stop laughing:
"Heaven has been kind to me. I have no other wish now but for them to succeed. This Calming Incense has come at just the right time... You two should thank it quickly!"
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, elders! We are deeply grateful!"
The brother and sister bowed deeply.
Lu Li raised his hand to signal them to stand, saying, "Lord Chen, there's no need for such formalities."
Upon seeing this move, Chen Zhizhong's pupils contracted—[Thoughtless Meditation!?]
He was shocked, but he couldn't see through Lu Li's cultivation level. He only knew that this young man was definitely not simple!
At this time, people began to come to pay their respects and wish people a Happy New Year.
Not wanting to disturb them any longer, Lu Li and Xiao Cha quickly took their leave.
Chen Zhizhong got up to see him off, and when they were alone, he suddenly leaned close to Lu Li and whispered:
"If Young Master Lu has any connections with Calming Incense, he might consider helping the National Martial Arts Association. They've been a real help, searching the world for Calming Incense."
After speaking, Chen Zhizhong bowed and turned to leave.
Lu Li and Xiao Cha exchanged a glance, thinking in unison—
The president of the National Martial Arts Association, Nan Jinping, and director Xia Weiyin, repeatedly took the blame, which did indeed help a lot.
It's the Lunar New Year, time to give back!
~~~~~~~~~~~
The two quickly drove back home.
At this moment, Wan Qing was taking out the Calming Incense to dry.
This stuff is prone to getting damp if left out for too long, and its value to Lu Li is equivalent to that of mosquito coils.
He said directly, "Keep a little for your own use, and give the rest to the National Martial Arts Association."
The two women readily agreed, but Xiao Cha asked, "How should we deliver it? Should I sneak it in after dark?"
"No need, I'll handle it," Lu Li said with a smile. "It's a good opportunity to try out [Mental Object Attachment]."
After advancing to the realm of Embryonic Breathing, one's mind can reside in objects; yesterday's "curved bullet" relied on this ability.
Lu Li wanted to test whether something so large could turn in mid-air.
After all, the sniper rifle he's going to use has a rather large caliber.
Without further ado, Lu Li found three large leather suitcases and put bundles of Calming Incense inside.
I forgot which robbery I stole the box from; it's a bit worn, but it's nothing serious.
Lu Li gazed intently, immersing himself in the scene.
But the moment he injected the substance, he felt his mind rapidly dissipating?
It's like pouring water into a kettle with a hole; it will soon be empty.
After a moment's thought, Lu Li recalled the contents of "Flying Sword Cultivation Manual".
When Cultivator is nurturing a flying sword, he must pour his mind and Internal Breath into the embryo.
He suddenly understood!
He quickly activated his internal organs, channeling his Internal Breath through the "Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian" into the leather case.
But this precious life essence of Internal Breath is exactly what the body craves most.
All the cells along the way were frantically "demanding and demanding," and the meridians were not very smooth.
Once the Internal Breath flows out of the meridians, it is then injected into the leather box through the "Shaoshang" acupoint on the thumb, leaving only a tiny strand like a hair.
Lu Li felt somewhat helpless, but fortunately, no outsiders benefited from it.
He quickly channeled his mental energy into the suitcase again... This time, the loss of mental energy almost stopped!
That Internal Breath became nourishment for the mind, while the mind became the support for the Internal Breath, and the two formed a delicate balance.
Lu Li observed it curiously for a while, then clicked his tongue in amazement:
"If left unused, it can last for two or three hours without dissipating!"
Filled with intense curiosity, he poured his mind and Internal Breath into the other two suitcases, and the two energies achieved a delicate balance.
At this moment, the three girls in the family came closer, wanting to see what the man was doing.
Lu Li didn't disappoint the girls either, and soon a grand show unfolded.
His eyes sparkled, and then the warehouse door opened by itself.
The Titanium alloy spheres, which had not been used for a long time, flew out. A whole ton of them were mobilized to form a Metal Giant Hand the size of a small car.
After Embryonic Breathing, Lu Li's mental exertion reached 6000 jin!
"The National Martial Arts Association is 5 kilometers to the northeast!"
<The Profound Yellow One Qi Great Capture: Meteor Shower>!
The Metal Giant Hand grabbed a leather suitcase, then lashed it out like a whip, the end of which even produced a sonic boom!
With the aid of a terrifying force, the leather suitcase filled with Calming Incense flew like a cannonball towards the direction of the National Martial Arts Association!
If you throw it like that, you're bound to miss.
But Lu Li's consciousness still clung to the box!
His eyes narrowed, and his gaze immediately fell upon the suitcase.
In an instant, Lu Li himself became a suitcase that had been thrown out, hurtling through the sky.
He looked around and realized he was far from his target, so he quickly used the Mind Power in the suitcase to adjust his flight angle and flew towards the National Martial Arts Association building.
As they flew closer, they saw a nun standing by the window.
"Xia Weijun?"
Lu Li slammed the suitcase into her.
In my last glance before my mind was completely exhausted, I saw a beautiful face with a look of surprise on it!
At this time, Xia Weijun was troubled by the matter of "Calming Incense".
This is an essential item for low-level martial artists and Cultivator, but it has been hoarded by several large merchants, seriously affecting the cultivation of Rogue Cultivator in the private sector.
Several transfers were made from other places, but they didn't make much of a difference, only barely keeping things afloat...
"We must train our own alchemists! Otherwise, we'll be too dependent on others!"
Just as Xia Weijun was feeling indignant, a suitcase suddenly flew towards her.
It looked light and empty, but she picked it up casually, opened it, and was stunned!
"Could this be...?"
Before anything could happen, two more boxes flew over, and when I opened them, they were full of calming Calming Incense!
Xia Weijun was overjoyed and quickly jumped onto the roof to look in the direction from which the box had flown.
But besides birds, the cold wind, and the sound of firecrackers, what else can you see?
Just then, an old man appeared, smiling and remarking:
"They've already Embryonic Breathing... That's fast."
"It did solve our immediate problem, and they also realized our good intentions."
Xia Weijun looked down at the city filled with festive atmosphere and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
The next update will be tomorrow morning, it'll be quite late.
