Chapter 31
Gift Exchange Time
[Gu Xun'er: @Li Feiyu, so your real name is Han Li. You've been lying to us all along.]
[Loves eating animal milk: Lying is bad. Last time, Brother Tiger lied and made Tiger Girl cry, and in the end, Uncle Lin Hu beat him so badly that he couldn't get out of bed for three whole days.]
Little Dot himself was still being whipped by God Liu, yet he still didn't forget to go online and criticize Han Li. I'm so sad!
Immediately afterwards, Ye Fan, Yan Lingji, and others also joined in the condemnation, and Meng Qi, who had just been released from the dark room, was not left out either.
After joining the All-Heavens Chat Group, members change their names openly and without hesitation. If you don't want to change yours, you can just use a nickname like a baby and no one will say anything. So why give a fake name? Are you trying to keep everyone away?
[Han Li: Esteemed seniors, I apologize for my previous rudeness and ask for your forgiveness.]
Seeing that he had angered the public, Han Li, who was both flexible and assertive, immediately began to admit his mistake.
With Lin Yuan, a highly skilled individual, in the group, whether he is proficient in divination or truly knows his own future, he can always provide some guidance.
Furthermore, Gu Xun'er also sounds like a descendant of a top expert in a world. If the two of them are like this, then the others must be of similar status. It would be unwise to antagonize them. In any case, I have plenty of experience in keeping a low profile, so I can just offer a simple apology.
All of the above are minor matters. The most important thing is: what benefits can I gain from the group afterwards?
[Han Li: I did not intend to deceive you. It's just that since I embarked on my cultivation journey, I've encountered countless open and hidden attacks, which has made me cautious.]
"Ding! Group member Han Li has sent out a lucky draw red envelope, everyone hurry up and grab it!"
[Han Li: Inside are some longevity pills and youth-preserving pills that I refined myself. Consider it an apology for deceiving you all before.]
Ding Ding Ding!
After a series of system notification sounds, the red envelopes were completely snatched up.
Han Li's gift, which aimed to help people live longer and become more beautiful, perfectly captured the psychology of the men and women in the group.
Han Li: My current strength is relatively weak, so the longevity pills I refine are only effective for mortals who have not cultivated, allowing them to live for ten more years.
At most, the Youth-Preserving Pill will only be effective for Qi Refining stage cultivators, allowing them to maintain their youthful appearance for twenty years.
"Huh? So people who have cultivated can't use it?"
Dahuang, at the entrance of Shicun Village.
Suddenly, a jade bottle appeared in the little boy's hand, containing three longevity pills he had won from a red envelope giveaway.
"I was thinking of letting Grandpa Village Chief try this because he hasn't been in good health these past few years." The little girl's face was full of displeasure. "I heard from Uncle Lin Hu that Grandpa Village Chief went to the Great Wilderness when he was young and apparently cultivated to some kind of Cave Heaven Realm. I guess he can't use this."
call out!
The willow branch suddenly loosened and snatched the jade bottle from his hand, leaving the little one's bottom injured again.
"Ouch!" The little one rubbed his nose. She complained softly, "Couldn't you be a little gentler, Lady Willow God? My butt has had a terrible day."
hum!
The withered willow emitted a firefly-like glow, and clear words entered the little guy's mind for the first time through thought.
"Where did this come from?"
"Willow Goddess, you can talk now?" The little one asked with a look of surprise.
The old village chief, Shi Yunfeng, immediately kowtowed towards the willow tree, exclaiming, "The spirit has appeared!"
"The spirit has appeared!" Shi Linhu, Shi Feijiao, and the others hurriedly knelt down with their wives and children.
"Hmm." The tender green willow branches brushed against the little one's head and cast a ray of clear light on the kneeling crowd. The people felt much more comfortable, and the injuries left on the children from their medicinal bath had also healed.
This time, the voice appeared in everyone's minds: "Go back, everyone. I want to talk to Little One."
"This..." Shi Yunfeng looked at the little guy with concern, wondering what Lord Liu Shen wanted to see him about. "Has the exorcism not been completely cleaned up yet?"
But no matter what, Lord Liu Shen has protected the village for so many years, and his instructions have never been wrong, so all he can do is wave goodbye to the others.
"Everyone, disperse!"
When everyone had left, and only the little one and the Willow God, emitting a hazy glow, remained at the village entrance, it raised the jade bottle on its branch once more.
It hadn't paid attention when the little one was causing trouble for it before, because it knew the world was vast and there were many things that could transmit information over long distances. It thought that the chat group was similar to those.
But the appearance of the jade bottle proved that things were not simple. It did not sense any spatial fluctuations, but the little one suddenly took out the jade bottle. This was definitely not something that a small tribe in the Great Wilderness could have!
"This was posted by that guy named Han Li. He used a fake name to deceive us before, so he's using this to apologize."
"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end!"
……
[Lin Yuan: The tests are just finished. The Longevity Pill and Youth-Preserving Pill do indeed have limitations, but the good news is that people in the Under One Person world who cultivate innate Qi, and those in the less powerful Nine Songs of the Sky world, can use them.]
[Zhang Zhiwei: Fellow Daoist Lin's world indeed boasts advanced technology, so there shouldn't be any problem with that. These two longevity pills are perfect for Junior Brother Jinzhong and Old Lu, one each, so they can spend more time with me.]
Ye Fan and Meng Qi didn't say much.
The former, at the peak of the Dao Palace, could easily live for several hundred years without any problem, and he had no relatives or friends who needed the Longevity Pill. Even if he returned to Earth to see his parents in the future, he would have a better Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine Fruit.
The latter can even be exchanged for treasures in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This kind of pill, which can only prolong the life of mortals, would be considered a sign of Han Li's superb alchemy skills if it could extend his life by half a year in the current ancient world environment. It would be more reliable to find a blessed land.
[Lin Yuan: By the way, although the Whitebeard World has high combat power, it doesn't follow a traditional cultivation system, so longevity pills should also be usable there.]
[Lin Yuan: As for Xun'er, I haven't been exposed to the battle qi of your world, so I can't make a judgment, but with your talent, I suppose you wouldn't need these two kinds of pills.]
[Whitebeard: Thank you, Lord Lin Yuan.]
On the Moby Dick, the tall figure tossed two longevity pills into his mouth. Even though his physical condition had returned to its peak, he knew that his lifespan had not changed, so these pills were truly a timely help.
[Gu Xun'er: Okay, Brother Lin Yuan.]
At the South Korean border, inside a crystal cage.
As Yan Lingji stared at the four glaring words in the group chat, her restless fire power almost broke through the icy pool's seal, and her flowing hair couldn't hide the twitching at the corner of her mouth.
"Our skill level here is so low, it's a disgrace to the chat group!"
Look, the group is full of immortal gods and cultivators, powerful figures who can conjure heavenly lightning with their bare hands or the daughters of the strongest people on the continent. She, an ordinary person, is really lowering the bar.
Although newcomers cannot see previous messages, the memory copies of the first five people are openly displayed for everyone to observe. Yan Lingji felt that any one of them could quickly complete their own world at their peak, and she did not think that Bai Yifei or anyone stronger could stop them.
[Yan Lingji: @Han Li, cough, didn't you say there were still Youth Preservation Pills? Why did I only manage to get four Longevity Pills?]
[Han Li: Dear group member, although the Youth Preservation Pill is not particularly difficult to refine, the materials are quite hard to collect. Therefore, I only have two in stock, which I just sent to the group.]
Although he still had two or three pills left in his storage bag, he certainly couldn't give them all away, as these pills could drive female cultivators crazy. It was already generous enough to prepare one for each of the two women in the group; if they couldn't get them, it wasn't his problem.
[Gu Xun'er: Sister Yan Lingji, Xun'er is still young and doesn't need it. If you want the Youth Preservation Pill, I can give you the one I snatched, you just need to give me two Longevity Pills.]
Xun'er has no need to prolong her life, but she wants the family's alchemists to try to replicate it. At the very least, it can be provided specifically to descendants with low talent, so that they can live longer and leave behind more bloodlines.
Even if a pill is very simple, it is almost impossible to figure out the formula in one go, so she needs to collect a few more.
[Yan Ling Ji: No need, little sister should keep it for herself. I can't eat it now anyway.]
For women, especially beautiful women, the temptation to remain young and beautiful is great, but the refiner of the Youth Preservation Pill is among them, and there will always be opportunities to obtain the pill again in the future. Yan Lingji is more interested in seizing the lifespan she has now, after all, even that immortal god said that the level of his world is lousy...
[Gu Xun'er: Okay, Sister Yan Lingji.]
Undeterred by not getting what she wanted, Xun'er quickly came up with another solution.
"Ding! Group member Gu Xun'er has sent out a lucky draw red envelope, everyone hurry up and grab it!"
[Gu Xun'er: Uncle Han Li gave everyone gifts, and as a new member of the group, Xun'er should naturally do the same. These are some fourth-grade healing pills, not very high-grade, but consider them my greeting gift to everyone.]
"?"
In Huangfeng Valley of Yue Kingdom, Han Li was completely dumbfounded. Not only did they learn to use pills to win people's hearts, but what was with calling him "uncle"? He was only eighteen years old!
If there were no comparison, it would be fine, but she just called that Lin Yuan, who was probably thousands of years old, "brother," but when it came to herself, she changed her mind?
Looking at his own and Lin Yuan's profile pictures in the chat group—one an ordinary, simple-minded boy, the other a handsome young man in crimson-gold armor—Han Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Is this world so hostile towards ordinary people?"
While he was still immersed in thinking.
"Ding! Yan Lingji has uploaded the file 'Tips on the Control and Use of Flames,' which is now available for everyone to view."
[Yan Ling Ji: I currently have nothing of value except my understanding of fire, which I hope you won't find offensive.]
[Meng Qi: No, this young lady has a natural talent for controlling flames, so her experience will definitely be very valuable.]
"Heh~"
Upon seeing Meng Qi's message, Yan Lingji chuckled: "You little bald guy, out of all the people in the group, you're the most despicable. You think I'll forgive you just because you say a few nice words? Dream on!"
[Meng Qi: @Lin Yuan, I remember you cultivate the Law of Fire, don't you? Why don't you study it more?]
[Lin Yuan:]
[Lin Yuan: Xiao Meng, you're getting cocky again. Want to go to the dark room again? Do I, an immortal god who has fully mastered the fundamental laws of fire, need to learn from her experience?]
Meng Qi: I didn't mean that, Brother Lin Yuan, please don't be angry.
"What the commotion?"
In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, in the Stone Village, Ye Fan, who was busy absorbing energy crystals to open his acupoints, was jolted out of his cultivation state by Xiao Meng's sharp words.
[Ye Fan: @Meng Qi, I already said this last time, if you continue to be disgusting, I won't be polite to you.]
[Ding! System notification: Administrator Ye Fan has muted Meng Qi for three minutes.]
[Ding! System notification: Administrator Meng Qi has lifted Meng Qi's mute ban.]
[Meng Qi: Hehehe, we're on equal footing, your methods won't work on me.]
[Ding! System notification: Administrator Lin Yuan has muted Meng Qi for one hour.]
[Lin Yuan: You little punk, Xiao Meng, dare to act arrogantly again! No one can stop you now?]
[Zhang Zhiwei: I just told Linglong that I had arranged things with her, and when I logged on, I saw that Junior Brother Meng had angered Fellow Daoist Lin again. I'll just punish him by making him mute for an hour...]
【Gu Xun'er:】
