Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 121: Chapter 113: I Am the One and Only Extraordinary

Lu Li, achieved enlightenment and became an immortal?

Hearing this, Qin Liang almost stumbled over.

What era is this?

You still believe immortals exist in this world?

Humanity can explore the cosmos now.

So far, not to mention mythical beings like immortals.

We haven’t even discovered extraterrestrial life yet.

And you still talk about immortals!

Qin Liang looked over, speechless, ”Daoist Zhen, stop joking around.”

Zhen Hongyi suddenly laughed, ”You really didn’t know. No wonder you were so kind, introducing a real master to our temple.”

Qin Liang looked at his expression, realizing he wasn’t joking.

He couldn’t help but show a curious look, ”Daoist, what’s going on?”

The other party is the son of a tycoon.

Plus, he’s a friend of Master Lu.

Zhen Hongyi thought for a moment and decided to reveal the truth.

He said, ”Just now, my fellow disciples and I had just finished a meeting. When we returned to the front of the City God Temple, we saw Mr. Lu standing there...”

Zhen Hongyi carefully recounted how he met Lu Li and what happened next.

Qin Liang had seen similar ”tricks” of Lu Li during a live stream before.

Making a piece of paper float and then automatically fold into a paper crane.

So when he heard Daoist Zhen’s words.

He didn’t react at once.

Qin Liang chuckled, ”What’s so strange about that? Mr. Lu is good at amazing magic tricks.”

Zhen Hongyi calmly said, ”Today he wore short sleeves, and the tea was provided by the temple.”

Qin Liang dismissively said, ”The temple provided it, so wha...”

Halfway through his sentence, he immediately showed a stunned expression, ”You... you said he was wearing short sleeves, and the tea was provided by the temple?”

Zhen Hongyi nodded slightly, ”Yes, do you still think it’s a magic trick?”

Do you still think it’s a magic trick?

In this situation, only a fool would still believe it’s a magic trick!

Short sleeves imply no place to hide magic props, and the teacup was provided by the temple, further negating that possibility.

Moreover, Daoist Zhen and others witnessed it firsthand, not through video, meaning there’s no possibility of post-editing or adding special effects.

What does this mean?

Does it mean Lu Li truly knows supernatural immortal techniques?

Qin Liang was completely dumbfounded.

His mind involuntarily recalled once again the magic of Lu Li folding a paper crane out of thin air during a live stream.

He found it so amazing that he asked someone to try to solve the mystery of it, but there was no flaw at all.

Back then, Qin Liang didn’t dwell on it, thinking Lu Li’s magic was just very skilled, and it wasn’t surprising not to find a flaw.

After hearing Zhen Hongyi’s words, Qin Liang realized one thing.

He finally understood why he could not find a flaw in Lu Li’s previous magic trick.

Because what he was performing wasn’t magic at all, but immortal technique!

Magic has flaws, but... immortal technique does not!

At this moment, Qin Liang screamed internally.

He thought to himself, does this world really have immortals?

Perhaps because he was too shocked internally.

Subsequently, Qin Liang was utterly lost.

He didn’t even know how he entered the City God Temple.

...

Inner Guest Hall.

Lu Li didn’t always keep his supernatural powers on, so he naturally didn’t know about Qin Liang’s situation.

After waiting for a while, he saw Zhen Hongyi leading Qin Liang, who wore a face of disbelief, into the room.

Lu Li immediately got up and extended his hand, saying, ”Mr. Qin, long time no see.”

”Huh? Oh.” Qin Liang finally snapped out of his shock, looking at Lu Li with a slightly reverent expression, ”Mr. Lu... Master, long time no see.”

For a moment, his heart was filled with awe.

After all, based on Daoist Zhen’s previous description, the other party is indeed an ”immortal”!

Seeing Lu Li reach out to shake hands, Qin Liang was hesitant, fearing it was disrespectful not to shake hands with an immortal yet feeling too intimidated to do so.

So, um, Qin Liang dared not fully grasp Lu Li’s hand, only daring to gently grasp his fingertips like a gentleman holding a lady’s hand.

Lu Li noticed his odd behavior and half-jokingly said, ”President Qin, you’re so gentlemanly, are you mistaking me for a girl?”

This sentence was originally meant to lighten the mood.

Unexpectedly, Qin Liang was startled, and with a tearful face, he said, ”I wouldn’t dare, how could I?”

Well, the other party saw his fear.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Li might have tried to ease his emotions a bit.

But now, he had more important things to do, so he was too apathetic to correct Qin Liang’s mindset.

Besides, he understood in his mind that being revered by others was something that would happen eventually; he just didn’t expect it would come so soon.

Lu Li ignored how Qin Liang felt and turned to Zhen Hongyi, asking, ”Daoist Zhen, about my earlier request...”

Zhen Hongyi promptly said, ”If it were someone else wanting to see the rare copies of the Daoist scriptures, I definitely wouldn’t agree. But if you want to see them, no problem. I’ll have someone bring them to you.”

Zhang Hongzhong volunteered, ”Abbot, I’ll go get the Daoist scriptures.”

Zhen Hongyi instructed, ”Bring over some Danjing and Daojing too, not just the Daojing ones.”

Zhang Hongzhong replied, ”Understood.”

With that, Zhang Hongzhong left.

Lu Li sat back in his original seat and chatted with the other Daoists for a moment.

After about ten minutes.

Zhang Hongzhong returned with a few young Daoists.

Each of these young Daoists held some books in their hands.

Zhen Hongyi inspected them briefly and, after confirming there were no issues, he looked at Lu Li respectfully, ”Master, the rare Danjing and Daojing books are basically all here. Although some of these Danjing and Daojing can be found online, in reality, those available online have been edited, and the recorded content is not complete. I hope these will be helpful to you.”

Saying this, he had them place all the Danjing and Daojing next to Lu Li.

Lu Li expressed his thanks and randomly picked up one to read.

This book was written in traditional Chinese characters, with ”Wu Zhen Pian” on the cover, authored by Zhang Ziyang during the Northern Song Dynasty.
