"Are your parents usually very busy?" Ling Yi asked.
"They have to slay demons and monsters every day, and they don't even have time to eat at home," Nezha said, shaking his head.
"They wouldn't let me help, and they locked me in the Formation, not letting me go anywhere."
"However, how could a Formation possibly hold me back? Those two Formation spirits are incredibly stupid. I can easily take them down with a few simple tricks."
After a pause, Nezha asked again, "Brother Ling Yi, can I stay with you for a few days?"
Ling Yi initially wanted to refuse, as this might force him to make contact with Li Jing and his wife, as well as Taiyi Zhenren, ahead of time.
However, remembering that she had to do the test, she changed her words to, "Whatever!"
He then asked with a smile, "So, are you not going to finish your test?"
Nezha shrugged. "I'm not doing it anymore. Doing a hundred good deeds is easy, but getting praise from a hundred people is simply impossible."
"Don't even mention a hundred pieces, even if I made ten thousand or a hundred thousand, I would still be seen as a monster by others. So, I simply cannot complete this test."
It seems Nezha hasn't been idle these past few days, besides playing games.
Judging from his dejected appearance, he must have suffered a setback.
"You gave up at the very beginning, why not persevere? Perhaps you'll reap unexpected rewards!"
Nezha waved his hand. "Forget it, things are fine as they are. I'm not going to do anything that's thankless and exhausting."
Nezha wanted to cross his legs, but his belly was too big, and he couldn't manage it no matter how hard he tried.
So he rubbed his stomach with both hands and patted it.
A miraculous scene unfolded: Nezha's belly shrank visibly, quickly flattening out and returning to normal.
This is so illogical! Or is Nezha's digestive system also monstrous?
Nezha successfully crossed his legs and nodded with satisfaction.
He shook his head and said, "Life is all tears. If you're not dead, you're suffering. The more you struggle, the more unlucky you get. The more you strive, the more tragic your life becomes. Aren't you tired of this death throes? You might as well just lie in bed and sleep."
Ling Yi was speechless. Where did this kid come up with these rhymes?
She's only a year and a half old, right?
At one and a half years old, most children can't even speak clearly.
Is this Legend being born with knowledge?
Of course, it was also thanks to the excellent teaching of Li Jing and his wife.
"You're Xiaoxiao, where do you get so many feelings?" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do, we're forced to do this by life's circumstances!"
Nezha stayed at Ling Yi's place for a day and left early the next morning.
He said he'd come over after going back to take a look.
But Ling Yi knew that Nezha was also afraid that Li Jing and his wife would worry.
Although this kid is rebellious and acts eccentrically, his filial piety is beyond question.
But he went back in the morning and returned before noon.
Ling Yi ignored him, currently inscribing Formation Pattern on the Mark 50 Iron Man Armor.
Or rather, it's about designing Formation Pattern.
The Mark 50 is Iron Man Armor that Ling Yi redeemed in the previous world, but never actually used.
Super new!
Ling Yi, Bored to do, took this thing out to see if he could modify it.
To Ling Yi's great surprise, the nanometals in this Iron Man Armor actually possessed extremely strong spiritual conductivity.
It can withstand extremely strong Spiritual Power circulation.
The nano armor doesn't need to inscribe Formation at all. As long as the Formation Pattern are recorded, it can switch Formation Pattern at any time and place to quickly form various Formation.
This was an unexpected surprise for Ling Yi.
"What is this? Is it armor? It doesn't even have a nose, it's so ugly!" Nezha tapped on the Iron Man Armor and said.
"Uh!" Ling Yi was taken aback.
The helmet of the Iron Man Armor doesn't have a nose? Wow, Ling Yi had never noticed that before.
Look closely, and you'll see there's no nose!
The Iron Man Armor that used to look quite pleasing now just looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
If no one had mentioned it, it wouldn't have seemed like anything, but Nezha's reminder made it instantly clear that something was wrong.
Fortunately, this is nanotech armor, and its appearance can be modified at any time.
By nightfall, the appearance of this Iron Man Armor had been completely altered, bearing no Shadow whatsoever to the Mark 50.
The armor changed from Hong Jin to pure red cesium.
The style is somewhat similar to the armor worn by Son Goku in a certain Journey to the West.
"That's more like it! The previous version was just too ugly." Nezha circled the armor with an envious look on his face.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi summoned the armor, which automatically moved behind Ling Yi and, after a series of flashy movements, was Ling Yi.
"Fire!" Ling Yi whispered.
"Boom!"
The armor burst into flames.
"Ice!"
The Huoyan that had been burning on the armor were instantly extinguished, replaced by an Ice outer shell that emitted a chilling aura.
"Thunder!"
Crackling Lightning crackled and swirled around the armor.
"Disperse!"
The armor returned to normal, Ling Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter. Forget about its power, just look at the special effects—aren't they cool?
Ling Yi stepped out of his armor, and with a wave of his hand, the armor quickly liquefied, eventually transforming into a wristwatch that Ling Yi fastened onto his left wrist.
Nezha was incredibly envious, but too shy to ask for any.
Although he and Ling Yi were already somewhat familiar, they hadn't known each other for very long.
We can't just insist on taking it, can we?
"If you pass the test, I'll give you a set," Ling Yi said with a smile.
Nezha was immediately discouraged. "Your test is simply impossible to complete."
"I'll say it again: how do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
"But!"
"You know others have prejudices against you, but prejudices all stem from misunderstandings and first impressions. If a hundred good deeds aren't enough, then a thousand, ten thousand."
"Everyone Central City their heart; if you don't act on it, that scale will never be balanced."
Nezha lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.
Even at mealtimes, Nezha didn't eat much.
In the afternoon, Ling Yi tested the combination of talismans and Formation Pattern, and suddenly, all sorts of special effects filled the sky.
This made Nezha envious once again.
Ling Yi offered another incentive: if Nezha passed the test, he would teach Nezha these spells.
Nezha left feeling very upset.
Shortly after Nezha left, a fat figure appeared out of thin air in front of Ling Yi.
"I am Taiyi Zhenren. May I ask which sect, school, mountain, or clan you belong to?"
Ling Yi looked Taiyi Zhenren up and down speechlessly and said, "You're too fat! How could an immortal like you get so fat?"
"Am I fat? I'm prosperous! Besides, the body is just a shell; we cultivators don't care about that!"
"You still haven't answered my question. Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching Nezha?"
Ling Yi didn't say anything, but simply cast a Probe Technique.
[ Taiyi Zhenren (1500 AD), Early Golden Immortal, Strength 6200, Agility 3900, Constitution 8500, Intelligence 1100!]
This zodiac sign doesn't seem to be very high!
Moreover, is it true that Taiyi Zhenren only has the cultivation level of the Early Golden Immortal? This is quite different from what I imagined.
Of course, one's zodiac sign doesn't determine everything.
After all, cultivators mainly use spells and magical artifacts; attributes are merely basic parameters of the body.
Ling Yi's Probe Technique could only Probe basic parameters.
They couldn't Probe any cultivation techniques or spells.
Furthermore, the cultivation level of Golden Immortal is simply too low.
In Ling Yi's opinion, Taiyi Zhenren should at least have the strength of Daluo.
This is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals under the command of Primordial Beginning Heavenly Venerable, and in many folk Legend, he is the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Of course, different worlds have different settings, so Ling Yi didn't dwell on it too much.
"You have no manners at all! I'm asking you a question, why are you staring at me like that?"
Ling Yi waved his hand and immediately cast Illusion Technique.
The environment in Zhongwei changed drastically in the next moment; the original clear waters and green mountains were instantly transformed into a world of ice and snow.
Taiyi Zhenren released his Spiritual Sense to sense his surroundings and exclaimed in surprise, "What amazing Illusion Technique! It's impossible to tell the difference between reality and illusion!"
"But what do you mean by that?"
Ling Yi's figure slowly faded until it disappeared completely.
He left behind only one sentence. " Taiyi Zhenren, if you can break this Illusion, I will tell you everything!"
Taiyi, however, remained calm and unhurried.
This Illusion, though Illusion, is ultimately just Illusion.
How could a powerful Golden Immortal Realm be trapped by a Xiaoxiao Illusion?
"Young man, let me tell you something: even the most powerful Illusion and absolute strength are no match for me. Watch as I break through all illusions with Myriad Arts!"
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! May ten thousand thunderbolts guide you... Lightning-Summoning Curse, break!"
A spark flashed across Taiyi's fingertip, and then, nothing more!
What happened?
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands... Lightning-Summoning Curse!" But this time, Huadu.
" Fire Control Curse, Wind Control Technique..."
Taiyi's fat fingers changed various hand seals, but there was still no reaction.
"What's going on? Why are all my spells failing?" Taiyi was a little confused and flustered.
But Ling Yi was even more bewildered than Taiyi Zhenren.
It doesn't look fake. Could it be that Taiyi is unable to cast spells within the Illusion he Illusion Technique himself?
But why?
Taiyi then tapped his whisk on the snow.
He bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, examined it closely, and then stuffed it into his mouth.
" Pui Pui! Pah! It's real snow? Or is this Illusion?"
This is of course Illusion, but the Illusion that Ling Yi creates with his Illusion Technique can indeed be mistaken for the real thing.
No matter how realistic it is, it's still not real.
Logically speaking, Taiyi shouldn't have been unable to see it.
"No, something's wrong with this snow!"
Taiyi seemed to have thought of something, bent down again, grabbed a handful of snow, put his fingers together, and directly released a burst of Spiritual Power.
There are no magical techniques involved, just pure Spiritual Power.
However, the Spiritual Power did not react at all after falling into the snow.
"Not within the Dharma, not within the Way, this is not Illusion at all, this is another world?"
Ling Yi understood even less.
This is Illusion. Why would Taiyi say it's another world?
Ling Yi's figure reappeared.
Looking at Taiyi, he asked, "What do you mean by 'not within the law, not within the way'?"
