"You can imagine it all. People at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage can spew out Samadhi True Fire that can burn anything, and ride flying swords to roam freely in the void. People at the Spirit Refining and Returning to Emptiness stage can already use any power in the universe at will. How powerful do you think they are?" Fei Hua said with great longing.
"Did your master say that again?" Li Yang swallowed hard. Damn it, being able to freely use the power of the universe—that statement was too domineering and awesome.
“Yes. My master said that this is also recorded in the classics. In the last one or two thousand years, we haven’t heard of anyone like this. Everyone is stuck at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage.” Fei Hua said helplessly.
"Is your master at the mid-stage or late-stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?" Li Yang's eyes flashed as he heard another very useful piece of information. "Since your master is known as the number one expert in the cultivation world, then he must be at the late-stage," Li Yang said with certainty.
Chapter 893: I'm really not a hooligan!
"Is your master at the mid-stage or late-stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation?" Li Yang's eyes flashed as he heard another very useful piece of information. "Your master is known as the number one expert in the cultivation world, so he must be at the late-stage." Li Yang said with certainty.
"You... Director Zhou, look at Li Yang, we were discussing Penglai Mountain, and he kept interrupting us~" Fei Hua was suddenly startled and dared not continue. She realized that Li Yang was too cunning and too perceptive. He had deduced so much from her words alone, and she dared not say anything more.
"Li Yang, get to the point," Director Zhou reminded Li Yang.
“Alright. Let’s continue talking about Mount Penglai. What did your brother’s Dragon Group say?” Li Yang asked.
"Li Yang, are you out of your mind? Why are you always asking about other people's business?" Fei Hua glared and scolded.
"I didn't inquire; I was just making full use of the resources. The Dragon Group might know things we don't. By sharing resources, we can save a lot of resources, time, and energy. Don't you think so?" Li Yang argued confidently, as if he made a lot of sense.
"That won't do either. I won't betray my brother~" Fei Hua shook her head and decisively refused Li Yang.
"Then why don't you go to the Dragon Group to help your brother? What are you doing stuck here?" Li Yang stared straight at Fei Hua. He knew Fei Hua's purpose in coming here, but he didn't want to reveal it. That wouldn't be fun.
"I... I like it. Is it any of your business?" Fei Hua stammered, guessing a reason that seemed ignorant but was sometimes very effective.
"Alright, stop bickering. I'm just guessing. The only peculiar thing in Jiangbei City that's connected to these cultivators and superhumans is this Penglai Immortal Mountain. But what exactly it is, and why, I really can't be sure. We need to continue exploring and investigating." Zhou Tong interrupted the two, truly exasperated by their endless bickering. He couldn't beat them in a fight, his background was useless, and his identity was a waste—it was like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog, with nowhere to attack, a truly painful situation. He was also beginning to regret bringing Li Yang in.
"Then shall we begin our investigation into the matter of Penglai Immortal Mountain?" Li Yang stopped dwelling on Fei Hua and got down to business.
“It’s not certain. We can’t put all our eggs in one basket. We need to investigate with multiple leads. Li Yang, you and Fei Hua will focus your investigation on Penglai Mountain. We’ll inquire through mortal channels. After all, you are cultivators, and Penglai Mountain is most closely related to you, so you’re the most suitable people to investigate.” Zhou Tong began assigning tasks.
"I don't want to be in a group with him," Fei Hua said deliberately. Actually, she also wanted to be in a group with Li Yang, after all, she still had a mission to investigate Li Yang, and only by spending more time with Li Yang could she better understand his situation. However, she was a girl, and she cared about her image and also had to consider Wang Gui's feelings, after all, she was the older sister she had just recognized.
"Director Zhou, don't let Feihua be paired with this bastard. Feihua will suffer." Wang Gui, who had been silent all along, spoke up again, but his words were hurtful, once again accusing Li Yang of being a bastard and a hooligan.
"Yeah, anyone who's with me will suffer. You guys shouldn't go on missions with me!" Li Yang rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
"See? He admitted it himself!" Wang Gui said smugly.
Zhou Tong frowned deeply, glanced at Wang Gui, and said, "Can you please not bring your personal conflicts into your work? I have my reasons for making this decision. They are both cultivators, which gives them unique advantages, making them the most suitable people to investigate this kind of matter."
Wang Gui snorted coldly and said no more nonsense.
"Feihua, you don't have any objections, do you?" Zhou Tong said to Feihua.
"Oh, is that so? Okay, I'll give it a try!" Fei Hua glanced at Li Yang and said, seemingly reluctantly.
"Alright, that's the assignment. Shu Yi, you'll be in my group, and Fan Xian, you'll stay in Director Wang's group. We'll split into three groups and continue the investigation." Zhou Tong made the final assignment decision.
"Alright, let's get started!" Zhou Tong waved his hand, shooing everyone away.
Li Yang and the others left one after another. When they reached the entrance of Fei Hua's restaurant, Li Yang stopped and looked at Fei Hua who was coming up.
"What do you want to do?" Feihua asked, clutching her chest. But the pressure from her arms made a certain voluptuous area appear even more alluring.
"Damn, what's with that expression and that gesture? Are you trying to be a pervert? I'm just discussing the specifics of the mission with you," Li Yang said, amused.
"I did this because I thought it was for your sake, since you have such a bad reputation," Fei Hua said, still not letting up.
"That's slander! She's narrow-minded and prejudiced against me." Li Yang sarcastically remarked to Wang Gui, not caring at all. Damn it, she keeps harping on him, it's so annoying.
"Don't talk about my sister like that, I'll tell on you!" Fei Hua frowned.
"Okay, I won't talk about her anymore. You can talk about her, right? You and I have only just met, haven't we? We've only met a few times. Have I done anything heinous to you?" Li Yang said, feigning annoyance.
"No~" Fei Hua thought for a moment and realized that such a thing had not actually happened.
"Yeah, I didn't do anything to upset you. You have no reason to hate me and target me like she does, right? Are you prejudiced against me?" Li Yang said, shrugging unhappily.
Feihua's eyes darted around, and she said, "I don't have any prejudice against you, it's just that I'm a girl, and I should be a little wary of boys. These days, men are all very lustful. Don't many people say that men are all animals that think with their lower bodies? Shouldn't I be a little wary of you?"
“What you said makes sense, but not all boys are hotheaded and clumsy. Take me for example, look at me, I’m handsome and have a kind and honest face, I’m a trustworthy person. You don’t need to be so wary,” Li Yang said sincerely.
"Ugh... I'm about to throw up. You have so many women, at least a dozen~" Fei Hua said with a pained expression.
"How did you know? We've only just met. Did you investigate me?" Li Yang said, his expression slightly changing.
"I didn't investigate you. Sister Wang told me. Besides, you're a celebrity. Is it strange that I know you?" Fei Hua had a sudden inspiration and shifted the blame to Wang Gui.
Li Yang didn't delve into it; he was just trying to scare her. "So, you're not going to invite me in for a chat, and then we can discuss how to conduct the investigation?"
"No need, let's just go to the coffee shop downstairs," Fei Hua shook her head and refused. When a woman lets a man into her bedroom, it's an implicit suggestion; at the very least, it means she likes him, or at least doesn't dislike him. If a woman is willing to sit on a single man's bed, especially at night, or is willing to let a man sit on her bed very close, wow, that man is lucky! It means she doesn't mind doing the things you both enjoy.
"Oh. Okay~" Li Yang didn't go too far, lest it backfire and make Fei Hua wary of him, putting him on her blacklist. That would make it several times harder to get back to her.
"Ladies, please go first," Li Yang gestured. Fei Hua nodded reservedly and walked over first, secretly thinking that Li Yang was at least polite. Little did she know that Li Yang was secretly chuckling to himself with smug satisfaction.
The two walked downstairs one after the other.
Fei Hua has an excellent figure. Cultivators' bodies are close to the perfect human physique. After all, through the tempering of drawing in Qi, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will gradually transform the human body, developing it in the most perfect and best direction. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they want, they can become extremely elegant and beautiful. Of course, some people with special preferences are exceptions.
Feihua was already beautiful, and after this makeover, her face was stunning, her figure even more voluptuous, and her little butt was incredibly perky. Li Yang walked behind, watching her sway as she walked, his blood pressure soaring and his head throbbing.
"Li Yang, can you walk faster? Why do you have to walk behind me? It makes me feel very uncomfortable~" Fei Hua felt awkward as she walked, as if she was being spied on, like she was being followed by a ghost in a ditch, which made her feel uneasy.
Li Yang immediately straightened up and coughed. Fortunately, his manhood wasn't actually erect, just twitching. "Ladies first, right? If I walk behind, won't I just be a foil for the flowers?" Li Yang really didn't want to miss out on such a feast for the eyes.
