507, A Simple Response

Xia Weiyin settled the "spirit ball" containing Old Master Nan into the guest room, then hurriedly returned.

She was already preparing to make arrangements for the old man's funeral, but she never expected her husband to be so capable!

In this way, the old man has at least 30 years left to live.

Xia Weiyin let out a long sigh of relief, then stared at her husband with eyes full of admiration!

She exuded a strong, sweet scent of hormones that made Yue Ru sneeze several times.

Lu Li was always generous, and his wives were used to it, so they quickly came to their senses.

But Xu Shou found it hard to accept, hard to believe...

To Lu Li Nan Jinping was just a wretched old man, utterly insignificant.

Even if someone dies, just showing up at their funeral is considered an immense honor.

But this Heavenly Monarch used a massive amount of spiritual energy—enough to turn a pig into a "Manifestation Grandmaster"—to extend the old man's life by 30 years.

There is no stupider deal in the world than this, but that is precisely why it is so shocking and even shattered Xu Shou's worldview.

With astonishing talent and learning, Xu Shou had met many powerful individuals.

He had dealt with Ma Xinjie, Amaterasu, Jiang Shixiang, and Qiu Yan.

The impressions were all pretty much the same, nothing more than what Nan Jinping had just said—not letting go of even the smallest benefit.

Lu Li, on the other hand, was completely different; he was very... human!

But the energy he unintentionally released could easily kill someone!

This contradictory feeling made Xu Shou want to take a closer look at the person, but he didn't dare to look up, and he was extremely uncomfortable scratching his head.

Suddenly, Lu Li said, "You're Xu Shou? Raise your head."

Xu Shou cautiously raised his eyes to meet the other's gaze and found that the oppressive feeling was gone, obviously because the other party had been holding back his aura.

"This humble man, Xu Shou, pays his respects to the Heavenly Monarch."

Xu Shou bowed respectfully, Lu Li asked directly:

"I'm asking you, how often does Ma Xinjie return to his own world? And how does he travel back and forth?"

"Your Heavenly Monarch, Ma Xinjie returns every six months without fail, bringing back technological products or knowledge far ahead of his time, but the weight has never exceeded one ton. As for the method of travel..."

Xu Shou cautiously replied, "From what I've observed, it's a copper particle the size of a fingernail, seemingly a defect on some kind of bronze artifact."

"Defect?"

Lu Li summoned the Kunlun Mirror and asked, "Is it the same?"

Xu Shou hurriedly stepped forward to examine it closely, and upon seeing the crack in the mirror, immediately nodded:

"Yes, exactly the same, and it fits perfectly into this gap. I can't be mistaken."

"Hehe... very good."

Lu Li smiled slightly. Doing what you love and getting a reward is truly wonderful.

His genuine smile caused the peach blossoms on the mountain peak to bloom all at once, creating a vibrant tapestry of color.

Xu Shou regretted not having brought his instruments with him, otherwise he would have definitely studied the connection between magnetic fields and life.

The sun uses this kind of radiation to influence life on planets from hundreds of millions of kilometers away.

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly changed the subject and said, "You and Ma Xinjie have known each other for a long time. Did you develop the Ice Soul Powder?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xu Shou was greatly alarmed:

"Ma Xinjie coaxed me, saying he wanted to build a world where everyone is like a dragon and there is universal harmony, which is why I worked so hard for him. But I would never touch a single drop of something as heinous as Ice Soul Powder!"

In Lu Li's eyes, Xu Shou was completely transparent; every cell and gland was clearly visible, and the man was not lying.

"In that case, you can go. Cherish this hard-won freedom and live well."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Li created a gentle breeze that carried Xu Shou down the mountain.

Xu Shou looked dejected; he had wanted to ask the Heavenly Monarch for help in finding his granddaughter...

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time."

Having saved the effort of descending the mountain, Xu Shou strolled leisurely, when unexpectedly he saw an older man and a younger man in a roadside pavilion.

The older one, dressed in a Daoist robe, with vertical pupils and eyebrows, was actually a golden-haired Daoist priest.

He was coldly and awkwardly trying to coax an eight or nine-year-old girl:

"If you become my disciple, I'll give you candy every day."

"No way! Eating candy will ruin my teeth, and besides, I want to become Heavenly Monarch Lu's disciple!"

"A high level of cultivation doesn't mean he'll teach disciples, and besides, he doesn't have the time."

The two were Zhenyangzi and Tong Shao. Zhenyangzi wanted to revive his sect, and first he needed talented people.

Since the Chen Siblings, who were of excellent character, had not yet entered the Tong Shao, Zhenyangzi had the idea of taking them on as disciples.

But then, he frowned and turned to look behind him.

Xu Shou was staring at the Tong Shao, trembling violently. "Ningning, Ningning..."

Upon hearing the name, Tong Shao froze, and a flashback of memories appeared before his eyes.

Many people have called me that; it seems to be my name... Xu Ning.

~~~~~~~~~~

"The Tong Shao... Xu Ning, is she Xu Shou's granddaughter?"

Xiao Cha and Wan Qing looked surprised and asked Lu Li:

"What a coincidence? You went out of your way to deliver it, so you already knew?"

Lu Li laughed and said, "I really didn't know. It was just a coincidence, but fortunately, the result was good."

Xia Weiyin said, "It is indeed a joyous occasion... but how are we going to deal with those Tactical Ghost? A bioweapon that can even infect the innate, it's insane."

Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "I will use my divine sense to monitor the entire Divine Continent. If anything happens, I will unleash the Yang Flame attack."

This is not a long-term solution; there will definitely be more to come. The women listened carefully.

Lu Li added, "I will break through to Martial Saint in seven days. Then we can just destroy that island, and it will be no longer a threat."

"This method is great! It's simple and straightforward!"

Xiao Cha was the first to raise her hand in agreement, not feeling at all that there was any difficulty or impropriety... Even if there were, she was certain her man could do it!

The other women also looked excited and expectant.

"Cough cough..."

Xing Ru coughed lightly and whispered:

"Lu Li is facing a formidable enemy. He might as well take my and my sister's Yin Essence, which will help temper his body."

The cat-eared girl exudes a sweet, hormonal fragrance that brings joy to anyone who smells it.

Lu Li chuckled and said, "The White Tiger 'Yin Essence will surely be of great benefit, so I won't stand on ceremony. I'll be there tonight."

Xing Ru nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, she was about to pull her younger sister to wash up and get ready.

Lu Li called out to the two of them, "Don't go yet, let's share some of the spiritual energy."

He reached out and bit into each woman, giving them 2,000 units. For those whose bodies couldn't handle it, he poured in his magic weapon, spending 10,000 on the spot!

"So much..."

"That's definitely too much."

The women all complained that it was too much, but Lu Li, having already provided it, wouldn't be stingy.

"I got 50,000 from the Mount Tai Sect, use it freely and improve your strength as soon as possible."

"I cannot waste your kind intentions, my lord. I shall immediately begin my cultivation!"

Xia Weiyin took the lead in expressing her stance, and a phantom image of a goddess, resembling both a Buddha and a Daoist, appeared behind her.

His face was still an empty void, but it was about to materialize, vaguely resembling Xia Weijun's appearance.

"Sister Xia's magic weapon is about to take shape."

Lu Li commented, "Your magic weapon grants someone an extra mental image out of thin air, increasing their strength by a percentage—that's incredible!"

Xia Weiyin said with a smile, "It's alright, quite suitable as a family heirloom~"

This treasure allows one to perceive the nature of the mind in advance, greatly benefiting one's ability to Manifestation.
