"You might have questions about my words, what is the era of Spiritual Particles revival, what are the demons that linger on Blue Star unwilling to leave..."
Master Fuli sat on the podium, picked up the room temperature iced cola that had been placed aside, took a sip under the stupefied gaze of all the cultivators, and said:
"I can only say, my path is not lonely. On Blue Star, it's not just human cultivators; in the ancient past, there were other races cultivating here, and our skills are just borrowed from them..."
"With the arrival of the revival of Spiritual Particles, some former cultivators are awakening, and they are not friendly to humans."
Master Fuli glanced at the cultivators, smiled, and continued, "This is not just the talk of a fox but we have obtained video evidence, which is why today I am facilitating your alliance with the Security Bureau."
"Now is the information age, no longer the era of one cauldron, a few herbs, and a pill-making furnace. Where is Miss Liuyu? Quickly come forward to receive your elixir."
Master Fuli beckoned Liuyu to come to the front of the podium.
"Me? Oh, oh..." Liuyu was startled, then quickly stepped up onto the podium in just a few strides.
"This bottle is Liquid Spirit Pill!"
Master Fuli lifted the injector pen, tossed it to Liuyu, and then continued, "Its raw materials are extracted and concentrated from heavenly treasures, one unit of Liquid Spirit Pill is equivalent to a month of a cultivator's hard practice."
"And this garment on me is a divine artifact forged from a legendary meteorite from beyond the skies."
Master Fuli glanced at the Triangular Hammer, which instantly transformed into a silver-white ribbon, draping over Master Fuli's body as a set of silver-white armor, silently emanating waves of intent that exuded terrifying coercion.
The ripple of that wave did not even need to touch the cultivators, they just felt their bodies, which used to be under their control, seemed to be paralyzed, completely rigid.
"......"
Liuyu was in a daze, looking at Master Fuli on the podium, then again at the Liquid Spirit Pill in her hand.
"Information age... is this kind of information age? How does it feel like we're not even in the same world."
Liuyu complained, and according to the instructions on the injector pen, she pressed the needle of the pen onto her thigh, then pressed down to release the Spiritual Particles into her body.
"Ah——"
Liuyu's face turned red with shame, only feeling as though she was in a freezing winter world, yet fell into a warm spring, the warm water gently caressing her whole body.
This feeling of bashfulness, let alone a young girl, even if it were a mature woman, she would have to moan several times.
"???"
Master Fuli looked at Liuyu, whose pupils were turning into beast-like eyes, with a strange expression on his face.
"Ugh! Father, come out! Let's duel!"
"I've put up with you, old fogey, for a long time, playing mahjong all day, never thinking of dominating a region, tricking me into covering the 20,000 cost of roof repairs, and borrowing my student ID to visit club princesses, death to you—"
The Spirit Particle Potion took full effect, and a pair of fox ears emerged atop Liuyu's head. Standing on the podium, she suddenly raised her hand and performed the Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Finger.
"I? I didn't!"
Li Quing was startled, waving his hands continuously: "Taking your student ID to the club princess was your uncle, I am steadfast with your mother, how could I do such a thing..."
"Liar!"
Liuyu soared into the air, her beautiful leg transformed into a battle axe, striking hard at Li Qing's location, shattering the ground, causing gravel and dust to fly everywhere, but Li Qing had already run away.
The chaotic battle between father and daughter ensnared all the other veteran cultivators.
No one among the cultivators could withstand Liuyu, who had injected the Spirit Particle Potion and awakened the Fox bloodline.
"Ah ah ah—such is the dominance of the Liquid Spirit Pill, no wonder the Security Bureau can rule the world."
Liuyu picked up a cushion, slammed it heavily down, sending the elder flying in the air, spiraling dozens of meters away, crashing to the ground with a groan, his face excited.
This was the new era Master Fuli spoke of.
The immortals desire to lead us on a shortcut to ascend to the immortal realm!
"This girl is probably avenging a personal grudge, before, it seemed like I heard her mention, because her temple took in a few rich disciples, she was often ridiculed during feasts..."
"One's own poverty is indeed distressing, but seeing fellow practitioners' wealth is even more jealousy-inducing..."
Master Fuli quietly watched, not intervening in the ruckus below.
Doesn't Liuyu's strength just perfectly demonstrate the high purity of the Spirit Particle Potion I offered?
As Liuyu punched her old father and kicked the veteran practitioners, achieving unprecedented feats, Master Fuli resumed talking about matters related to the First and Second Epochs.
Of course.
This was not spoken directly, but indicated using former cultivators, revealing what the Security Bureau needed from the cultivators.
In simple terms, they want to collect clues and mobilize the entire Taoist alliance against all tomb raiders, retrieving and processing ancient artifacts related to Spiritual Particle civilization.
The Security Bureau is willing to offer Spirit Particle Potion as a reward, and Master Fuli is the transaction witness and credit guarantor.
The credibility of the Security Bureau might be considered worse than that of real estate developers to practitioners.
...
The entire lecture, including the Q&A session, lasted for two hours, from seven to nine in the evening.
The doubts raised by practitioners didn't require Master Fuli to think; he simply replaced the scientific names with aliases to answer their questions.
Who is enemy, who is friend, what to do. Master Fuli answered each person's inquiries.
As for the remaining details, they needed to hold a discussion meeting at the Security Bureau.
"Strange, why is there no Wish Power credited? Logically, it shouldn't be like this!"
After completing the lecture, Master Fuli returned to the ecological base, waiting for the upcoming meeting with the Taoist alliance leaders.
However, before the meeting, Master Fuli had a peculiar feeling; when summoning the wish list regarding his cousin, he felt it was very strange that there was no Wish Power settled.
Logically speaking, helping the Security Bureau expand a new eyeline channel should be a matter of protecting the nation.
The wish list should credit Wish Power, but now there is no settlement of Wish Power.
"Could it be because of... Xiaolu Master?" Master Fuli frowned, thinking of a possibility.
If it were that old ascetic, it's indeed possible to prevent practitioners from cooperating with the Security Bureau.
"Master Fuli, Lord Lü has arrived..." Just as Master Fuli was thinking, the white-limbed wild ox ran over to inform Master Fuli that Lu Tiannan and Lord Lü had arrived.
"Invite them in!" Ansheng looked towards the door and spoke.
"Kid, is it you swindling, deceiving, selling Spirit Particle Potion as Immortal Elixir, tricking my disciples and followers into being dogs?"
"Do you know whose suggestion was followed to develop Xia Country's Spirit Particle Potion, boasting like this here?"
Before Lu Tiannan had the chance to introduce himself to Master Fuli, his right half faced Master Fuli arrogantly, and started cursing upon entering.
"Forgive me, Master Fox Immortal..."
"I am Lu Tiannan, a wanderer by nature, nothing remarkable."
Lu Tiannan glanced at his right side, raised his hand to summon his apprentice Lü Cai, who came over with a travel bag, and took out a fascia gun.
"Next, as I converse with Master Fox Immortal, if you dare utter another word, I won't mind finishing you."
Lu Tiannan looked at his right side and spoke in a heavy tone.
"Master Fox Immortal, the next scene might be quite eye-opening; I suggest you not watch too closely until my mentor discusses things with his other half." Lord Lü carefully approached Master Fuli and spoke.
"Eye-opening?" Master Fuli was puzzled as he saw Lu Tiannan sit down on the chair like a sprawling bull, one hand setting the fascia gun to its strongest setting, negotiating with the right half, but the right side seemed aware of something, resisting no matter how Lu Tiannan negotiated with discomfort.
Finally.
Lu Tiannan coldly snorted, tightly gripping the fascia gun and pressing it hard onto his own crotch.
"Ah——"
Lu Tiannan and his right side's faces both dramatically changed, each showing twisted expressions and letting out a scream of sky-tearing pain.
"Submitting now?" Lu Tiannan gasped for air, looking at the head of his right side and asked: "I've brought an electric hammer too, if you don't submit, I can teach you humanity!"
"Lunatic, you lunatic..." his right side looked at Lu Tiannan with a distorted face, angrily cursing.
"........"
Master Fuli's expression was subtle, catching sight of two golden rays suddenly emerging in his mind.
Lu Tiannan and his right side, while harming each other, were having fierce mental battles inside.
Lu Tiannan and his right side each made a wish.
"But... isn't this too harsh? Just watching makes me feel my own bell is ringing."
Master Fuli looked sympathetic, turning his head away, avoiding watching the two harm each other in negotiation.
Lu Tiannan indeed has a tough life, but pain is part of it.
Pain perception is a biological self-protection instinct, regardless of how strong the physique, this warning mechanism will not vanish.
