When they left, Fan Shiji was still the one leading the way.
Meanwhile, Fan Chengxun's Divine Soul stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance.
Upon seeing him, many disciples of the Jiu Shan Sect knelt and kowtowed, their faces filled with piety.
This scene was somewhat eerie, but everyone ignored it and quietly walked down the mountain.
They all breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving the Mountain Gate of the Jiu Shan Sect.
Qiu Yan spoke first, "I won't take the car, goodbye!"
She burst through the ground with a roar, shooting towards Jinmen like a cannonball at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.
Hua Ruoxi sneered, "In such a hurry, they must have gone to find their lover."
Anyone with eyes can see what this woman is up to, and Manager Hua won't let her have her way!
With one less person, the car feels more spacious.
Just as everyone was about to drive back, Hua Ruoxi took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat and said:
"Young Master Lu, please sit in the back with the two children."
The two siblings were still in shock and couldn't even speak, clinging to Lu Li's sleeves on either side.
Lu Li nodded and led the brother and sister to sit in the back row.
Nan Jinping, still sitting in the passenger seat, sighed:
"It's amazing you managed to calm that madman down, otherwise this trip would have been a real mess."
Hua Ruoxi drove and casually said:
"A madman? I've seen plenty of them in the palace. I've figured out their temper, and they're actually easier to serve than normal people."
"Fan Chengxun is more than just a madman."
Nan Jinping sighed deeply and said, "Throughout history, those who practice martial arts by eating people have never had a good ending, yet there are always those who don't learn from their mistakes."
"Hehe~ People with the surname Fan have a lot of confidence."
Hua Ruoxi chuckled wickedly:
"Back then, Fan Wencheng's wife was abducted by Dodo and played with for three months. When she returned, she was pregnant. From then on, the Fan Family had Jurchen blood. I guess Fan Chengxun thought he could practice the <Taotie Swallowing Heaven Method>."
It was meant as a joke, but upon reflection, it made some sense, leaving Nan Jinping speechless for a moment.
Lu Li listened quietly to their conversation until the car stopped in front of the National Martial Arts Association.
After getting off the bus, he took out a snuff bottle from his pocket and handed it to Hua Ruoxi with both hands:
"Thanks to Manager Hua, please accept this small token of my appreciation."
"We certainly cannot refuse Young Master Lu's kind offer."
It was a gift from someone who spends a fortune, so it was obviously no ordinary item. Hua Ruoxi quickly opened it and smelled it.
Startled by the medicine's effects, he immediately realized that this was a divine object of strategic significance!
Taking a whiff of it during a fight will rapidly restore your mental state, which is equivalent to saving your life!
"Excellent item! Thank you so much for your generous gift Young Master Lu!"
The old eunuch was in a very good mood, all smiles.
At this moment, Yi An Yi Ping calmed down and obediently knelt down and kowtowed to the two elders.
"Thank you so much, elder, for saving my life!"
Nan Jinping helped the two up and said, "Go home quickly, your parents are worried."
"Then I'll take them home first. Goodbye!"
Lu Li in a fist salute, then drove away with the two siblings in his car.
Hua Ruoxi carefully hid the snuff bottle inside her underwear and said:
"Today, during our pilgrimage, this young man's heartbeat remained steady, demonstrating his courage. Even more commendable is his kind and honest character! No wonder you value him so highly."
Nan Jinping smiled and said, "We're all getting old; we'll have to rely on these young people from now on."
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Hua Ruoxi looked somewhat dazed. "There are some things you just don't remember until you're old."
Nan Jinping said with a complicated expression:
"Do what you can. A few antiques aren't that important. What difference would it make if you People of Izumo?"
"You ignorant old bastard, what do you know!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li then sent the two children back to Chen Zhizhong's residence.
At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Chen Zhizhong still thought they were dreaming!
Holding and kissing the two children, it took her a while to realize it was real, and she was overjoyed!
It's also incredibly unbelievable: it was stolen by the Jiu Shan Sect, but was rescued in just one day!
Just as Chen Zhizhong was about to lead his family in expressing their gratitude, Lu Li in a fist salute and slipped away.
Chen Zhizhong then solemnly addressed the two children:
"I will cultivate myself diligently and strive to repay this kindness in the future!"
"I understand!"
The two siblings nodded obediently, and Chen Zhizhong then solemnly said:
"Father will also work hard with you, while our energy and blood are still depleted, let's give it our all!"
"Sir, what do you want...?"
Madam Chen paled, but Chen Zhizhong declared without room for argument, "I want a blood transfusion!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
Back home, Lu Li immediately found a piece of paper and drew the entire layout of the Jiu Shan Sect.
"The area wasn't large, and the main bombing zone was halfway up the mountain, about the size of two football fields."
"Five rocket launchers and six cannons can wash him clean."
"Besides, it's nearly 100 kilometers away from Jinmen, so there's no need to worry about them hearing any noise here!"
Lu Li kept calculating, not too worried about the Mountain Protecting Great Array.
This thing is indeed amazing, but unfortunately it's a sitting duck; it will only be torn apart by Steel Rain.
As for the sect leader turning into Demon Beast, that would be even better.
Not only did it lack intelligence, but its large size also made it easy for it to take damage from rockets, artillery shells, and missiles.
This trip by the Jiu Shan Sect can be said to have exceeded expectations.
They obtained the information they wanted and also gained an extra trump card.
Lu Li looked at the Kunlun Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness, where the [Extinction] Divine Ability was poised to be unleashed.
However, it consumes spiritual energy, so it can only be used as a trump card and cannot be used at will or tested.
Fortunately, through the connection of blood, Lu Li vaguely knew that this was a ray-type attack skill, and the stored spiritual energy could only last for three seconds.
That's alright. When facing Fan Chengxun, we can exploit his weaknesses and shoot him in the back.
Thinking of this, Lu Li became even more curious about the Spiritual Vein.
If such benefits are gained simply from getting a little close, what wonders would occur if one were fully immersed?
With this expectation, Lu Li prepared to refine his spine so that he could break through and undergo a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
However, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood, so he first called out to the window:
"Wan Qing, come and step on it for me~"
"Coming right away."
Wan Qing responded and quickly came over with Calming Essential Oil and several mattresses.
Lu Li said, "Use your feet first, then your pomelo."
"I know what you like, my lord. You can lie down now."
Wan Qing smoothed her hair and then took off her shoes.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho~"
Just as the two of them started stepping on the ground, Xiao Cha stood outside the window and pouted, saying:
"Wan Qing, you've already Organ Refining, you still have strength in your hands, why are you still using the stomping tool?"
"Because my husband likes it."
Wan Qing's movements never stopped; her soft little feet traced through numerous acupoints and meridians, making Lu Li moan softly.
Xiao Cha watched for a while and was about to leave when she suddenly saw Wan Qing take out a pomelo.
"You brat, you just keep spoiling him!"
Xiao Cha blushed, spat, and ran away.
And so, with the girls' help, Lu Li was always in top condition to perform the dangerous work of cleansing his spine.
My technique became more and more skillful, and the process went smoothly, but my body didn't change at all.
Days passed, and on the 10th day of the spinal cleansing, Lu Li woke up feeling an itch in his front teeth.
Did you knock out two front teeth by licking them with your tongue?
"This is... my new teeth are coming in!"
