Volume 1, Chapter 34: Our Village Has Electric Lights

Returning to the inn, A-Zhi took a shower and went straight to sleep. He had never expected his encounter with Team Rocket to be such a pivotal turning point; it seemed he could now continue his journey with peace of mind, no longer needing to worry about the organization’s operations.

"If you don't stay here, you’ll just die!" Yang Chong replied coldly before turning to leave. He had come to this place to make a fortune, not to waste his time playing nursemaid to anyone.

Avoiding others in the dead of night, Bai Yi and Bai Ling took turns in a corner absorbing the crystal cores. Jian Ya had only reached the second level recently and her foundation was unstable; haste would only lead to failure. Thus, being a curious soul who wanted to see how others meditated and absorbed energy, she volunteered to keep watch, taking the opportunity to peek at how Bai Yi and the others cultivated and leveled up.

Apophis defeated Ye Linxi, who had used the ultimate mystery of death magic, the Reincarnation Spell, by relying on his peerless soul magic. Now, the only way for him to retrieve Zekin, lost within the spirit world, was through that same soul magic.

If not for the Stone Giant’s incredible defense, Jin Kai would have surely lost by now, Zekin thought silently to himself.

Xing Lie was curious about how these people had managed to survive such a situation unscathed, and even secured a vehicle to catch up with the team. Could it be that they possessed some unknown, hidden talents?

Cautiously, and with his blade in hand, Yang Chong slowly walked toward Jixiang, who made no effort to conceal his identity.

"The situation is clear now. This man named Li Qiang is likely part of the group of robbers. After he planted and detonated the bomb, he was taken out by someone," Lin Tian analyzed.

However, many people did not welcome these words from Ye Feng; after all, given Ye Feng’s age, there was a limit to how strong he could be.

"A snake turning into a dragon!" Lin Yu muttered to himself, unable to believe what his eyes were witnessing.

Shuying was kind-hearted and simple. The less she knew about such matters, the better it would be for her, so I even kept it a secret from her.

Gui Ji had maintained his youthful appearance for nearly three hundred years. As the closing disciple of the Underworld Fire Yama, he had always held the position of the "Sect Master's Confidant."

I checked his neck; the pulse felt weak, but he was not yet on the verge of death. His skin was pale, and his eyes were rolled back and bloodshot, suggesting he might be suffering from severe poisoning. Pulling back his lips, I saw there was no bleeding from his gums.

Lavolpe was extremely frustrated, waving his arms and roaring loudly at his players on the field. No one could make out exactly what he was shouting, but it was certain that he was furious.

As a result, the elderly human's body swelled rapidly under the internal strife of his own blood, and finally, after a dull thud, it exploded into a mist of blood, vanishing from the world.

"How is your control over the fusion?" Wang Ping asked, naturally referring to Tai Sui, who was walking in front.

He was deep in thought—not just considering the recent turn of events, but reflecting on the broader implications and extending his logic to other matters.

At this moment, Li Xun also considered another critical point: "Furthermore, I suspect the Senior is not the only one in this realm with such thoughts. Even if the various sects of Tongxuan set aside their grudges and cooperated fully, it would be difficult to confront the Loose Cultivators' Alliance of Guyin head-on, let alone when everyone is harboring their own ulterior motives."

It had been about three or four days. Lu Dafa refused to return to Houlu Village, and Yuan Zhenxia was in agony. To minimize time spent with Lu Dafa, he preferred to stay on duty at the hospital rather than return to his residence.

"Hello! Mr. Zhang Kai, I am Chen Junliang, Deputy Director of the Second Division of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! We have just arrived in Yunfu. Your mother asked us to find you immediately upon our arrival. May I ask if it is convenient for you right now?" a man’s voice came through the phone.

He opened the door and saw them! Two familiar faces appeared in his line of sight, and then, his previously melancholy face was filled with excitement.

However, the things Xintong said were based on the events that had just transpired, so her words did not make the second team leader feel any sense of intimacy; instead, he felt a cold wind constantly chilling his very bones.

Lin Hao utilized his light-body technique, sprinting forward at full speed. His internal energy was already profound, and later, through a fortuitous encounter, he had completely absorbed an "Infinity Gem" into his body. Consequently, his current strength had reached an unfathomable level, which in turn greatly enhanced his light-body technique.

But when it came to practical implementation—especially as the Xiping Lake and the entire Northwest farmland irrigation project were gradually completed—they discovered that paddy fields were not actually that troublesome. As long as there was water, along with some fertilizer and rice seedlings, establishing paddy fields was not as difficult as everyone had imagined.

"Hello, Teacher Hao. Hello, Teacher Gan." One was the legitimate head of the acting department at the Central Academy of Drama, and the other was a proper lecturer at the same institution.

"What if something goes wrong?" Hua Tianjiao felt the man's genuine concern, and a surge of joy warmed her heart as she hurriedly asked.

That’s right, there were only a few, but they were not non-existent. Because the environment on some islands was so harsh that even gods could not reshape them, Augustus knew of ten islands with the most extreme conditions where no barbarian could survive.

Snake Seven was very annoyed; he realized that bringing these merchants to the Holy Land was a mistake.

Gan Jing rose, said nothing, washed up, ate breakfast, and then headed out. Just before leaving, however, he instructed Gouzi once more not to play games for the time being.
