Undercurrents, Treatment / Totem Clues
High-Order Mage are insufficient to ensure the steady development of legacy industries, and any major power in the magical society without Super Rank is practically unable to survive.
It is estimated that the industries in Manye Town have shrunk rather than grown in the past two years, which is why Qing Yu looked hesitant.
Fortunately, Lu Jun has been making great strides on the international stage, sweeping across Europe, Africa, and South America, and has established a formidable reputation. In the past year, he has gotten back on track.
While driving, Qing Yu said steadily, "We currently have about a billion yuan in liquid funds in the account. However, Manye Town mainly has pure Element Diamond mines, and destructive mining can accumulate a huge amount of funds in a short period of time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought. With the improvement of his cultivation level, assets of 10 billion were no longer anything.
After all, a valuation of tens of billions and cash flow of tens of billions are two completely different concepts. Don't be fooled by the fact that a large company may be worth hundreds of billions; in reality, it may be depleted of funds in its accounts and even owe its bank shareholders two trillion.
Lu Jun did not blame Qing Yu. Once he mastered the method of refining the "Stardust Magic Tool" and established his power in the Ancient Capital, the profits generated would far exceed those of Manye Town.
Not long after, the group drove into the center of Magic City. Lu Jun suddenly felt a sense of trepidation as he approached home, thinking of Ding Yumian and their tacit dual cultivation, exploring the path of the soul.
I wonder what changes have occurred in the other person over the years?
A car pulled up at Jinyuan Apartment, and Lu Jun and his three companions got out. Behind them stood three stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm: Lu Mei, Qing Yu, Jun Yaojin.
Bystanders were buzzing with astonishment. "When did such beautiful women arrive at Goddess Mu's apartment? Their looks are no less than Mu's!"
"Hehehe, Goddess Mu is graceful and generous, but I still admire Goddess Ding's gentleness and peace."
"Shh, be quiet. Look at that guy, could it be the legendary God of Slaughter, who has two goddesses by his side, has returned?"
Lu Jun sensed the commotion around him and noticed that many students from Mingzhu University were loitering around Jinyuan Apartment. It seemed that Mu Nujiao and Ding Yumian were quite famous.
Soon, Mu Nujiao and her Mu Nujiao were meditating in the apartment, noticed someone approaching. Their eyebrows furrowed slightly, and their pretty faces showed a hint of anger, mistakenly thinking that someone was trying to harass them again.
When she came downstairs and saw Lu Mei and the others, she was stunned for a moment, then her beautiful face blossomed like a peony, and she rushed forward with delight. "Sister Lu Mei, you're back!"
As for Ai Tutu, who was hopping and skipping beside him, her big white rabbit bobbing up and down, she jumped in front of Lu Jun, looked up at him with a curious and admiring face, and said, "Lu Jun, what does it feel like to sweep across the countries and capture hundreds of the pride of heaven?"
"By the way, I heard you have an ambiguous relationship with Medusa of the African Scorpion Snake Tribe. Is that true?"
Ai Tutu chattered on, eager to know Lu Jun's experiences and how he was able to transform into a dragon in just two years, becoming one of the world's leading powerhouses.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun replied with a smile, "Before the National Academy's training, I dared to go to the Lu Family alone and wipe out Lu Xin's entire family. If I can't become a Super Rank super-level expert after two years of cultivation, wouldn't I be stagnating?"
"Huh?" Ai Tutu hesitated, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. "You really eliminated Lu Xin's lineage? Those were two Super Rank Supremes!"
Many people in Magic City believe that the Totem Mysterious Snake was responsible for what happened back then. The giant snake surrounded the entire Lu Family's Manye Town, making it impossible to discern the situation inside.
Lu Jun didn't explain much. Even though they were both Super Rank, their combat power was worlds apart. They were just ordinary Super Rank with a single element.
He turned to Mu Nujiao beside him, and asked, "What are your plans after graduation?"
Mu Nujiao, who was catching up with Lu Mei, hesitated upon hearing this and said, "Let's stay here and try our best to break through to the Super Rank."
Lu Jun nodded. Mu Nujiao probably wanted to break free from her family's control. She benefited from him kicking Nan Rongni and Mu Tingying out of the National Team, barely squeezing into the main rotation and gaining some fame, while the family's influence decreased.
Given their ambiguous relationship, the Mu Family will likely adopt a laissez-faire attitude.
In the Original Timeline, Mu Nujiao eventually chose a career in education.
Lu Jun thought that once Old Feng mastered the Fusion Magic, it would definitely be promoted. With Mu Nujiao's interpersonal skills, she was indeed suitable to serve as the principal of the first magic school.
The girls inevitably had many topics to discuss when they met. Lu Jun didn't linger and planned to go to the Pearl Academy to find Ding Yumian.
As he left, his sister glanced at him unintentionally, her disdainful look seeming to express her contempt.
However, Lu Mei did not go with him. Since she didn't know anyone at the Pearl Academy, she simply stayed at Jinyuan Apartment, which was also a tacit approval of his behavior.
Feeling tense, excited, and slightly guilty, Lu Jun slipped away to the Pearl Academy.
From afar, a silver sun appeared between his brows, with a heavenly Heavenly Gate standing in the center of the sun. The Nascent Soul beneath the gate seemed to float in a blissful state, as if sensing the presence of the one Mind Calamity, and began to stir.
In fact, his Mind Element have undergone multiple transformations and he also possesses the potential to accommodate the Calamity Talent, but that position has long been occupied by Ding Yumian.
Lu Jun disdained gaining power by killing those close to him. Besides, he was burdened with the calamities of Four Elements and held the karmic positions of the Life Lord and the King of the King of Hell. He should first find a way to digest and accommodate them. He couldn't bite off more than he could chew.
Buzz buzz buzz!
On the other side, behind the academy, a woman in white sat cross-legged in meditation. Her appearance was flawless, her figure voluptuous and mature, and her breasts were high. She appeared to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
The woman's face was serene, pure as snow, and her temperament was like a secluded orchid in a valley, possessing a tranquil beauty that blended perfectly with the surrounding beautiful natural scenery, as if she were a part of the essence of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, Ding Yumian awoke, inexplicably moved, her Soul Shadow rising from between her brows, her thoughts expanding continuously.
Immediately, the Pearl Academy was silently enveloped by two vast Mental Power, which merged together seamlessly, as if they had been one since birth.
Lu Jun's heart pounded. Their divine senses intertwined, and in an instant, they understood each other's experiences and changes over the past two years. Their hearts were in perfect harmony, without any reservations.
Of course, this state of Mental Power inevitably made the two of them blush, and they felt a floating pleasure every moment.
On the back hill of the academy, Ding Yumian's tranquil aura was shattered. Her pretty face flushed crimson, and she looked incredibly beautiful. Her chest heaved violently as she gasped for breath and quickly sent a telepathic message: "Come over to the back hill of the academy."
At the school gate, Lu Jun heard Ding Yumian transmission, but the lingering soft and seductive panting made him look strange.
Lu Jun couldn't wait to head to the back mountain, hoping to see Ding Yumian ahead of time.
When he arrived at the location, he realized that he was surrounded by a hazy, dreamlike state of mind.
Clearly, Ding Yumian was cultivating here and did not want to be disturbed. Any student who set foot on the back mountain of the academy subconsciously kept their distance, unaware of it, and even ordinary Super Rank might not be exempt.
She lived a secluded life.
"Ding Yumian's strength is getting stronger and stronger. She's already at the dual-elemental Super Rank, right? Her Mind Element has reached the second level of the Super Rank, and her spiritual realm is at the peak of the eighth realm?"
Seeing this, Lu Jun was overjoyed. As before, the two of them combined their Mental Power and rose steadily, leaping over the ninth realm. They were halfway to the highest realm above the ninth realm, which was the level of a spiritual Emperor.
Most forbidden spells of mental magic are probably no match for their combined power, so Dean Xiao's three-element forbidden spell failed to detect this commotion.
Furthermore, he discovered that after his soul merged with Ding Yumian's, he could borrow the other's Mind Calamity, which was truly terrifying.
Lu Jun, feeling uneasy, traversed the jungle and gazed at the white-clad woman's back in the center, his expression immediately freezing.

Behind the academy, Ding Yumian heard the commotion behind her and suddenly turned around. Her smooth, flowing black hair danced in the air, making her look stunningly beautiful.
Her face was delicate and beautiful, and she stared intently at Lu Jun, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, as if she were thinking about something.
Lu Jun was also sizing up Ding Yumian, and was amazed by this beautiful fairy in white. Her serene and ethereal temperament, after years of cultivation, revealed a touch of elegance and maturity.
Yes, even the body is like a ripe fruit.
Ding Yumian understood what Lu Jun was thinking, blushed, and glanced at him.
Finally, Lu Jun could no longer suppress his longing and couldn't help but step forward and hug Ding Yumian. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and took a deep breath.
"You..."
Ding Yumian's body trembled, but she still didn't struggle.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jun went further, looking at the flawless white jade face and the glossy red lips that were extremely tempting, he immediately put his mouth out to taste the fragrance.
With his experience, Ding Yumian quickly became weak all over.
After a moment, the two separated. Lu Jun was in high spirits; after so long, he had finally gotten the hang of it.
Ding Yumian wiped her mouth, her eyes turning bloodshot like jewels, her demeanor drastically changing, becoming fiery and passionate. She burst out with a curse, "Pervert!"
Then, her expression faltered for a moment, before returning to its serene and composed state, though her pretty face was flushed, and she was too shy to look Lu Jun in the eye.
She never rejected physical contact with Lu Jun, but her personality made her somewhat conservative.
Ding Yumian calmed herself down and said softly, "Are you alright? Were you detained by Parthenon a year ago?"
"It's nothing," Lu Jun said easily. "You know I have the Ancient King Armor Robe, and I even transformed into the Undead Emperor and caused a ruckus."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yumian said with self-reproach, "I understand, but I just can't leave Pearl Academy to help you."
Lu Jun couldn't help but feel sorry for the other person, who had always lived within the Pearl area and was not allowed to step out, it was hard to imagine what kind of torment that must have been for them.
"Soon, soon, my cultivation is about to reach its peak." His gaze sharpened as he muttered to himself, "Sweep away the Holy City, and slay the Seven Archangels."
Finally, Lu Jun reassured him, "It's alright, I'm best at protecting myself."
The two strolled along the hill behind the university, cuddling for a moment.
However, Ding Yumian quickly realized Lu Jun's ulterior motives. Blushing, she slapped away his clutches and gently pushed him away, saying, "Alright, you have your own things to do and plenty of old friends to see. Go ahead and get busy."
Then she lowered her head, almost burying it in her chest, and whispered, "Tonight..."
Lu Jun's eyes lit up, he smiled and stopped, leaving the place with lighter steps, a joyful mood, and endless aftertaste. He would eat again tonight.
He returned to Magic City and wanted to see many people, such as Lu Wei Xi, Professor Yuan, and Dean Xiao.
Little did they know that news of Lu Jun's return to Kyushu had spread far and wide, reaching the ears of everyone who was paying attention, and causing quite a stir.
Friends like Pang Lai, Shao Zheng, Hua Zhanhong all breathed a sigh of relief. This brat had finally had his fill of wandering outside. With such talent, he might be alright within the Nine Provinces, where he could be protected to some extent. But outside the country, he was beyond the reach of the authorities.
As for those harboring evil intentions, their Killing Intent surges, and undercurrents run deep.
In the Zhao Corporation's ancestral home, a relatively young man with purplish-red hair, a thin and pale face, and sunken eyes strode forward.
However, magicians who cultivate to a high level can delay facial aging to some extent, though the exact age is unknown.
A blond youth in the clan's territory noticed this person's actions and stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Zhao Jing, what are you doing going out?"
With his purplish-red hair and an air of utter lawlessness, Zhao Jing sneered at Zhao Manyan, brushed past him, and said indifferently, "Where I, Zhao Jing, go is none of your business."
Immediately, he vanished from the spot, using strange magic to leave.
Zhao Jing muttered to himself, "Lu Jun, a prodigy? The next human powerhouse? I'll see what makes you think you can interfere with the Zhao Clan's inheritance!"
Meanwhile, in a city in northern Kyushu.
In a private swimming pool, a violet-eyed youth pinned down a voluptuous, beautiful woman, ravaging her while groping her and groping as he uttered, "Damn it, Lu Jun, I knew it was you!!"
Leng Jue obtained information from the venomous Demon Beast in Africa and the Pharaoh Pyramid, and the Triangular Dimensional Mirror had been shown to them before.
At that moment, he understood everything and was instantly filled with rage. Not only had he been made a fool of, but he had also been framed by Lu Jun and was now trapped in North America, struggling to escape the pursuit.
Leng Jue, panting heavily, said, "Once the grand plan is launched, I'll have the Nether God take your life."
Not only that, there's also Nan Rongni from the Nanrong Family and Mu Tingying from the Mu Clan.
However, these potential enemies were all intimidated by Lu Jun's powerful cultivation, and very few dared to take action.
Meanwhile, at the Pearl Academy, as Lu Jun walked along, his True Name Precognition inexplicably sensed several scenes, directly seeing through the true nature of Zhao Jing, Leng Jue, and the others.
He shook his head and sighed, "The enemy forces are still determined to destroy us; we must deal with them as soon as possible."
Lu Jun was quite puzzled by the movements of the Zhao Corporation and was unsure of Zhao Manyan's situation. He would go and ask him when the time came.
At this moment, instead of rushing to see his master, Dean Xiao, he went to visit Lu Wei Xi, a young man he had casually picked up from the Undead Forbidden Zone of the Ancient Capital.
Inside the intensive care unit of the school hospital, on a hospital bed, lay a Light Person, as radiant as clear, bright glass, seemingly floating about three inches above the ground.
The boy's flesh and blood transformed into a crystal-clear appearance, with countless strands of blazing light intertwining and outlining blood that resembled Light Water, making his original appearance almost impossible to discern.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Jun never expected that Lu Weixi 'Lu Wei Xi deteriorate to this extent after two years apart.
Lu Wei Xi was just one step away from turning into light and merging into nature.
He glanced at the Silver Patterns swirling around the radiant humanoid form. Had Dean Xiao not intervened with a Space Element seal, its flesh and blood would likely have collapsed.
A moment later, Lu Wei Xi seemed to sense Lu Jun's presence, slowly opened her eyes, and asked with difficulty, "Brother Lu, will I die?"
"Don't worry, I've found a way to save you."
Lu Jun remained calm as he circulated his Life Element, causing a large expanse of milky-white light to overflow and abundant life force to flow into Lu Wei Xi's body.
Buzzing! Lu Wei Xi felt that Lu Jun in front of her was like an endless sea of life, which made her feel intoxicated.
After about a year and a half, influenced by the Life Dominator's Calamity Talent, Lu Jun's life force accumulated more and more abundantly, so he no longer needed to worry about healing and vitality.
Soon, Lu Wei Xi's radiance subsided, her skin gradually returned to normal, and her vigorous blood and energy flowed freely through her body, suppressing the effects of the Light Element disaster.
"Hmm? Interesting. I actually drew the Innate Talent [Spirit-Flesh Stability]. Not bad, a strong body and soul can better withstand the Calamity Talent."
Lu Jun nodded in agreement. Needless to say, this was due to the Super Rank effect of the All Things Revive, which could be considered as making up for Lu Wei Xi's innate defects.
This wasn't the end of it. Lu Jun's milky white radiance dimmed, and a blackish-gray color surged up. A deathly gray current flowed into Lu Wei Xi's body, constantly counteracting the Light Element energy and reducing it to a normal level.
