Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Are You Crazy?!

Ye Changsheng watched from the side as the old poison master went from happiness to anger, then to despair, and finally to a peaceful expression, feeling quite delighted!

He didn’t want to delve into the specifics; he just knew that you, old poison master, have stumbled as well!

For some reason, whenever he saw a fellow Grandmaster stumbling at Lu Xiaobu’s hands, he felt utterly pleased!

So satisfying!

How wonderful!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t care about what these two old fellows were thinking; he was constantly observing Li Jin’s condition.

Li Jin now seemed like what?

A bone-dry sponge, rapidly absorbing water!

This wasn’t surprising; the ”Green Emperor Longevity Technique” Li Jin cultivated was a genuine Immortal Cultivation method, focused on absorbing external energy.

As a result, Li Jin usually only refined the energy within his body like a Martial Artist, naturally progressing slowly with poor effects.

But now?

This ancient tree provided the purest Wood Attribute energy, so much so that Li Jin didn’t even need to consciously operate his cultivation technique. His body just instinctively absorbed it like a child nursing!

When Li Jin realized and began deliberately operating the technique, the speed increased more than a notch!

At one point, the tree even involuntarily bent towards him because of the absorption!

The physical changes in Li Jin were also evident—namely, the grass on his head began to...

Did you think it would disappear?!

Wrong!

It started growing wildly!

It was initially just about one or two centimeters!

Now!

The length almost reached waist level!

Finally!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, after around two hours, Li Jin’s greedy absorption stopped!

At this moment, apart from the grass extending to the ground, more than two meters long, the rest of him returned to normal and wasn’t stiff anymore.

It seemed that with the infusion of Wood Attribute energy, his body slowly adapted.

But, it’s unclear why the grass didn’t disappear; instead, it kept growing!

”Thank you, Young Master!” Li Jin stood up and directly kneeled on one knee, expressing gratitude to Lu Xiaobu.

He had finally caught up with Zhang Meng, finally made it!

”Where’d you learn these pretentious acts?” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, ”Kneeling on one knee? Why don’t you just prostrate completely?”

”Cough, cough, cough!” Li Jin blushed and stood up.

Damn, idled away, he had been watching too much TV drama and got brainwashed!

However, it wasn’t surprising he was so thrilled.

This rain after a long drought not only made his realm breakthrough to the Qi Refining Eighth Level but also resulted in other effects: all the energy inside his body had been replaced with Wood Attribute energy.

And the energy he had originally cultivated was squeezed into his body, tempering his cells.

This was why his body was no longer stiff.

Because his physique could finally keep up with the attributes given by the Young Master!

”What’s up with the grass on your head?” Zhang Meng asked with a frown.

”Oh, that? Energy overflowed. I’ll just trim it.” Li Jin casually replied.

”That’s good then.” Zhang Meng nodded.

Though he said it nonchalantly, he felt a bit suspicious inside, thinking it could be that simple?

He sensed that Li Jin seemed to be hiding something.

However, since this wasn’t home, keeping some secrets was normal!

”Congratulations to Master Lu for acquiring a capable aide!” the old poison master half congratulated, half lamented.

Though he understood it, directly seeing such a crazy enhancement in front of him was still painful!

All these could have been conserved!

And moreover, as a Grandmaster, he found it embarrassing that someone not a Grandmaster had stronger absorption capability.

”Would you like me to recommend a talented disciple?” Lu Xiaobu said, looking at the old poison master.

”You mean, Xiao Xiao?” The old poison master wasn’t really a fool.

He had guessed a bit, though not entirely sure.

”That’s right. Of course, it’s just a suggestion, feel free to decide.” Lu Xiaobu smiled.

”Master Lu is so scheming! I’m impressed!” The old poison master sighed, helpless.

He was truly convinced, sincerely and thoroughly!

It seemed like Lu Xiaobu found Medicine King Valley a talented disciple.

But in reality, hadn’t Lu Xiaobu just ensured that Medicine King Valley would protect Xiao Xiao?

Though unclear about Xiao Xiao’s ties with Lu Xiaobu, obviously, Lu Xiaobu, willing to fight rather than give up Xiao Xiao, cared deeply for her safety.

Frankly, it was a win-win approach!

But for some reason, he still felt unwilling inside!

As a Grandmaster, how come he was always being led by the nose!

Damn, it was so frustrating!

”By the way, there’s one more thing.” Lu Xiaobu added.

”Please go on, Master Lu!” The old poison master was helpless.

Wasn’t he supposed to be the leader of Medicine King Valley anymore?!

Didn’t he repay his favor to Lu Xiaobu?!

Then why was he still being arranged around?!

”You should start thinking about how to explain things to the other Grandmasters.” Lu Xiaobu smiled, ”Many witnessed this event; although they don’t know the specifics, the rebirth of the ancient tree will certainly reach the Grandmasters’ ears.”

”Indeed.” The old poison master stroked his chin, lost in thought.

This was indeed a tricky problem.

”Moreover!” Lu Xiaobu spoke again.

”Moreover?” The old poison master was taken aback.

”The main issue isn’t the Grandmasters. While opinions may differ, ultimately, we’re all Grandmasters, unlikely to fall out. Your real concern should be foreign entities.” Lu Xiaobu continued.

”In today’s world, there’s no such thing as absolute confidentiality! I’ve heard there’s also a cultivation system abroad!”

”If they find out about the ancient tree, wouldn’t they come to inquire, or even seize it?”

After Lu Xiaobu said this, the old poison master laughed, ”Master Lu, no need to worry about this, really? They wouldn’t dare step into our Heavenly Dynasty!”

”If they dare come, it would mean provoking the entire Jianghu! All Grandmasters would act!”

”Of course, we’re also not allowed on their territory; otherwise, given our number of Grandmasters, their so-called treasures would’ve been ours long ago.”

The old poison master felt slightly pleased, seeming like there were still things Lu Xiaobu was unaware of.

Worrying about foreigners coming to steal? Baseless fears!

However!

Ye Changsheng opened his mouth wide, internally screaming—This isn’t good!

Old poison master, are you going insane!

Sure enough!

Lu Xiaobu’s lips curled into a sly smile, ”They have good stuff abroad too? Can you give more details?!”
