Chapter 988 The Grandpa's Development Plan (8.19)
The water shimmered, the long river stood out, and the illusory waves seemed to contain countless profound truths, surging and sweeping everything away.
Minutes later, the world returned to clarity, the vast starry sky reappeared, and strands of brilliant starlight fell from the high heavens. The spirits of stars and moon transformed into shimmering light on the misty Water Mirror Peak.
Zhang Chulan walked over from the direction of the herb garden carrying a small bamboo basket and asked curiously, "Brother Li, why have you recently taken a liking to fishing?"
Han Li, sitting on a flat white stone, looked back. Before he could speak, the Golden Thunder Bamboo Fishing Rod in his hand shattered into dust under the influence of the chaotic spacetime, and was scattered by the wind.
"Perhaps I should switch to a harder material," Han Li muttered to himself, then smiled slightly and said:
"I don't really like it, but I saw Meng Qi catch a magical herb, so I wanted to try it. But if I keep doing this, even the Golden Thunder Bamboo can't withstand the consumption."
"I didn't expect the Celestial Venerable to be such a fishing expert, even managing to catch immortal herbs while fishing." Zhang Chulan said with some envy, then handed a plastic spray bottle to Han Li:
"The diluted Dew of Creation has already been used to water those spiritual plants, but the divine herbs seem to be protesting that the food has become worse."
“I’ll help Ma Xianhong get his share back.”
He pointed to the small bamboo basket behind him, which contained many good things.
Zhang Chulan still felt a little guilty when he talked about it.
After the cooking competition ended, Ma Xianhong was no longer able to work.
Originally, I wanted to take Lao Ma, who works in the factory all year round, out for some fresh air and a nice meal to mend our uncle-nephew relationship. But after being overwhelmed by Shirou Emiya's dish, I didn't even want to go to work anymore.
Ugh.
Old Ma, oh Old Ma.
If you don't work, when will I ever be able to afford the latest Buddhist artifacts?
"With so many elixirs and divine medicines, how can my Heaven-Reaching Creation Dew withstand such torment?" Han Li shook his head helplessly.
"Other nutrients have been added to the diluted medicine, and the environment of Water Mirror Peak is already much better than the outside world or even the immortal realm of my world."
"Haha, indeed, these little guys are quite greedy. They are divine creatures born of nature, yet they have learned to act like ordinary people." Zhang Chulan took out a storage bag and poured out a basket of fruits of various colors.
"Brother Li, look, they've even started offering bribes! I wonder where they learned these tricks from, spending all their time on Water Mirror Peak."
This was the first time Zhang Chulan had encountered such a situation.
The herbs, which had already developed sentience and self-awareness, offered some benefits in exchange for Zhang Chulan's help in persuading Han Li.
However, one should not accept rewards without merit.
The sect's medicine garden is now much larger than before, and Han Li really has no choice but to accept it.
Back in the mortal realm, it took the little green bottle seven days to condense a single drop of the Heavenly Creation Dew. Even though Zhongli brought it into the immortal realm, the speed was a bit faster, but the spiritual liquid still had to be stored in this world by the will of Heaven to prevent it from losing its spiritual essence.
Now, thanks to the joint efforts of the group members, and the influence of the divine objects placed and discarded by Su Lin, the efficiency of condensing the Heavenly Creation Dew by placing the small green bottle here is even higher than that in the Immortal Realm. Moreover, after Yan Sen arrived and lent a helping hand, the speed has increased even more.
Even so.
Even so, every few days, spirit plants would come over and throw tantrums, even begging for things by acting cute.
Seeing that Han Li was unmoved by reason, they now set their sights on Zhang Chulan.
Han Li waved his hand with amusement and said, "Chu Lan, you can keep those things. You've been a bit lax in your cultivation lately. You have your own plans, so I don't need to say anything more."
"Not at all, Brother Li, I'm so grateful for your concern." Zhang Chulan happily accepted the fruit. "Thanks, Brother Li, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"But if they say I took money and didn't do anything, you'll have to help me out a bit, because that Qilin Divine Herb hits pretty hard."
The one living the most comfortable life right now must be the Wudao Tea Ancient Tree.
Ever since Ye Fan forcibly recruited them, the demand for Enlightenment Tea has been so high, and it has become a landmark plant in the Chamber of Commerce tower, so they have been able to get a supply of one drop every two days.
The ancient trees of Wudao Tea can now produce enough tea every day for decades, so the Wudao Tea sold in the Chamber of Commerce doesn't need to be supplied by wishful thinking or historical projections.
It truly uses green clay fertilizer, and the yield is 18,000 jin per mu.
"My paper doll clones are still studying at the Institute of Preservation, combining hell ecology and botany. In a few days, I'll try using the newly developed Abundant Organic Fertilizer on them."
A force of law emerged in Han Li's hand.
"So, Brother Li, is the you in front of me your true form?" Zhang Chulan was a little unsure.
Upon hearing this, Han Li looked up and smiled.
"Oh! Look, I was too talkative."
Zhang Chulan slapped his mouth, chuckled, said a few casual words, and then slipped into the teleportation portal.
"This guy is really cunning, just like a little fox."
A snow-white fox demon wagged its tail and flew out of the herb garden: "Master, why do you treat him better than me? It won't hurt him to eat some fruit, will it?"
"Chu Lan is meticulous and knows how to act. If you get greedy, you'll be in trouble," Han Li said. "Besides, I haven't treated you badly before."
"You are simply the best master in the world." The fox spirit, transformed into a beautiful young woman with silver hair, said coquettishly, "But Yin Yue, I just want to become stronger as soon as possible so that it will be easier for me to serve you closely."
"I've said it many times, be careful what you say in this place." Han Li took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Why? He's speaking from the heart. He's telling the truth~." Silver Moon's five fingers made a somewhat unruly gesture as if to strike Han Li's chest.
Han Li helplessly slapped the other person's hand away: "I don't want to cause trouble for Su!"
His expression changed, and he immediately made a hand seal, forcibly transforming Silver Moon back into its beast form and attempting to take it away.
But it's still a step too late.
Between heaven and earth, a white dove soars, entering the burial ground, entering the immortal city, crossing the ferocious domain... It is not in its own power to fly across the nine realms, enduring all kinds of hardships, and living for millions of years!
Even after millions of years, the white dove still faintly appears in the river of time.
Millions of years ago, Su Baiye reigned supreme for all time.
Eight million years ago, a single dove covered the sky in Su Baiye.
Finally, today, Su Baiye, who is also my 'Primordial God' Su Lin, has returned from the end of eternity and appeared in the office of the Foundation of the Water Mirror Peak. Su Lin wrote this to conduct the 'containment object' experiment.
As soon as a similar figure with black hair and black eyes appeared, his empty eyes were invaded by pure white light and silently replaced.
"Wow, using my own memories and the main world as the background anchor, it really can write stories across the void?"
"How come this protagonist, whose story is based on my own life, sacrificed his body and soul to me right after he was born?"
"On another note..."
With a white dove's phantom in her eyes, Su Lin examined the body while placing her other hand on Han Li's shoulder: "Brother Li, I didn't scare you, did I? Your paper doll is still right next to me."
A rare hint of panic flashed in Han Li's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Fellow Daoist, this... well, this magic weapon of yours is truly powerful and wondrous. What is its origin?"
Su Lin, standing beside Han Li, seemed to come from another mysterious and strange realm. The space was chaotic and the outline was indeterminate. When the other party appeared, he seemed to have a strange feeling that his consciousness and body had left the material and spiritual world.
In that instant, before the Drunken God cultivator could activate his technique, and before Silver Moon could be withdrawn, the technique was already in effect.
'This is troublesome. It would be bad if Fellow Daoist Su noticed Silver Moon's presence.' Han Li thought to himself.
Suddenly, he discovered from another perspective that everything he had experienced was appearing on the page in the form of written symbols, and he was immediately shocked.
Originally, I just wanted to change the subject, but at this moment, I became genuinely curious about this magical artifact.
Han Li: "."
Su Lin: "."
Isn't it a bit impolite to continue like this?
Su Lin looked at Han Li, whose mind was blank and who wasn't thinking about anything, and crossed out the settings and story about Su Baiye in the 'God's Notebook'.
Meanwhile, Han Li, far away atop Water Mirror Peak, saw Su Lin's figure freeze before him, and then, like an eraser, it was gradually wiped away.
A strange feeling was about to engulf Han Li, pulling him into the story and erasing him along with it, but the eyes of the 'Su Lin' who was narrated shone brightly.
In an instant, a bright and brilliant light illuminated the cover of the notebook.
As a single page of paper turned to ashes, the only things that disappeared along with the story world were the story character 'Su Baiye' and his own history.
"It was definitely the right decision to experiment cautiously at home; it also has the ability to gradually assimilate surrounding things and pull them into the story."
Su Lin asked, "Brother Li, is your original form alright?"
"It's alright, because the one on Water Mirror Peak isn't the real body." Han Li sensed it and said, "The paper doll clone isn't having any problems either."
"That's good." Su Lin nodded. "Is Yin Yue alright too?"
Han Li: "."
"Brother Li, do you think I'm a bad person who likes to steal other men's wives and bully my brothers' wives?" Su Lin frowned, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood." Han Li was about to explain when he suddenly felt something was amiss.
Silver Moon is not his Daoist partner.
'After all these years, Brother Li still couldn't escape it.' Meng Qi used the cause-and-effect network to communicate.
'I knew it! Usually, it's always the guys drawing all the attention, while Li-ge stays out of it. So, he always avoids Su Lin when he goes out to walk his spirit pet.'
Lu Mingfei wanted to kneel on the chair and slam down a six: 'He even learned the Drunken Master Cheese's techniques, isn't that a bit too much?'
Song Shuhang: 'I guess Senior Han Li was secretly pushing forward, but now all his efforts have been in vain.'
"What are you talking about?" Chen Jun asked, bewildered.
Klein: 'Beware of the personal whims of a certain goddess of light.'
'Icetis?'
The group chatted amongst themselves and then pulled Han Li to their sides.
"Have you brought back any good things for your sisters-in-law?"
"Fellow Daoist, I..."
"Recently, I have been troubled by inner demons. I would like to go to the human realm to retrace the path of cultivation when I have time. Is that possible?"
"."
Han Li couldn't help but smile wryly: "If you really have this intention, I can introduce you to join the Luoyun Sect under an assumed name."
"Luoyun Sect? Brother Li, please deliver these Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening Pills and Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pills to Miss Mu on my behalf. The path to immortality is long, take your time, there's no rush." It was Xiao Yan who spoke.
Amidst the astonished gazes of those around him, he presented two jade bottles.
"What do you know?" Xiao Yan smiled. "My brother is a kind and generous man. If he were busy playing matchmaker for Brother Li, wouldn't he have no time to worry about us?"
'Emperor Yan, we admire you!'
Immediately, everyone took out their gifts, showing concern for Han Li and his family before Su Lin could even do so.
"Everyone."
"This magical herb is a gift to Sister-in-law Nangong."
"Gentlemen, I have some other matters to attend to."
"Brother Su, I think Miss Song Yu and Brother Li are a good match, right?"
"I'll take my leave now!"
pat-
A paper figure floated down to the ground, swaying gently.
'Should we cut off the signal between Li Ge and Chang Shou's paper dolls?' Meng Qi thought of his own marriage and that lingering string of text prompts, and felt that it would be better to make things difficult for Han Li.
"Su Lin."
"It's best to let Li-ge make his own decision regarding matters of the heart."
Su Lin sighed and said, "You all need to calm down."
"???"
"My schedule is too full."
I almost thought this guy had gone crazy.
Seeing that Su Lin was as normal as ever, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.
During the peak tourist season, visitors enjoy the magnificent architecture and scenic beauty, while the Taoist priests are carrying out their daily evening prayers.
The two sides will not interfere with each other, except for taking photos together.
"Yay!" Zhang Zhiwei, the old master, stood in front of the camera, amiably posing for photos with tourists who came to take pictures.
Dressed in white cloth shoes and black Taoist robes, with a tall and upright figure, long beard and eyebrows, he is approachable yet embodies the characteristics of a Taoist immortal. As a result, he has recently become a minor internet sensation.
"Laymen, please be mindful of the time. It's getting late. Everything is expensive up here, whether it's accommodation or food. It's better to go down the mountain."
After Zhang Zhiwei's reminder, many tourists noticed that the sky had become dark and gloomy, wondering if it was about to rain or if it was just getting dark unusually early that night.
So, without even having time to take a group photo, they hurried down the mountain.
As the last tourist departed, the gates of the Taoist temple slowly closed.
"So."
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and stretched his shoulders, his eyes sparkling: "Let's do some exercise before dinner."
Boom!
An illusory low hum erupted.
"The world of 'Under One Person,' huh? A peerless superhuman on a planet, heh." From within the dark clouds in the sky, a transmigrator carrying a demon summoning system smirked, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"King of Wudang"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt the world darken, everything become fragmented, and the void seemed to be reconstructed.
Amidst the dazzling lights and soaring purple lightning, an old Taoist priest flicked his blood-stained sleeves and asked in confusion, "He seemed to have said something just now... that he wanted to be king?"
The mangled head, with an incredulous look in its eyes, was reduced to dust along with nearly a million demons.
Zhang Zhiwei returned to the Taoist temple, only to see Zhang Chulan standing at the door carrying a bamboo basket.
"Master!"
"You're here again, kid. Why don't you just focus on your own spiritual practice?"
Zhang Zhiwei said with a headache.
"Hey, I know my own skill level perfectly well. Just keep a normal pace. I'm still waiting to train you to be an old man so you can show off and take me flying."
Zhang Chulan effortlessly poured out a pile of miraculous medicines and tea leaves.
"Anyway, if you don't want it, I'll just leave it here, hehe."
His movements were practiced, and it was clear that this wasn't the first time he had done it.
Helpless, the old celestial master turned his back to the sky and made a finger gesture. The next second, various laws of the Great Dao swept across the night sky, and the stars in the sky became bright again.
