"You are too polite, fellow Taoist."

"I wonder how much spiritual energy and spiritual veins Fellow Daoist Zhou needs? I will prepare some for you when we return to the clan."

"Haha, we who practice divination don't have much demand for spiritual energy. Instead, we care a lot about those who have great merits and great luck. We don't have much demand for accommodation."

"The clan leader only needs to prepare a quiet place for me."

Zhou Yi quickly got into the role.

"Okay, I will definitely prepare a quiet and secluded place for you when I return."

Lu Xuanping glanced at the bamboo forest around him and memorized it. After returning, he replicated it exactly.

"I don't know how powerful you are, so I can arrange a suitable position for you!"

After talking about benefits, it’s time to talk about strength. After all, strength is respected in the world of cultivation.

Lu Xuanping's meaning was very clear. He just wanted to judge how strong Zhou Yi was so as to decide his attitude towards him.

Lu Xuanping didn't completely trust him. After all, this was too magical. It was like a mortal walking on the street and a big boss came to you and said that you were his son and wanted to inherit all his property to you. Who would believe this? After hearing what Lu Xuanping said, Zhou Yi hesitated and said vaguely, "We who practice divination are not very proficient in magic."

Lu Xuanping felt a little strange when he heard this, "What do you mean by not being proficient in magic?"

Zhou Yi finally explained, "Those of us who practice divination can practice quickly, but we are prone to heavenly punishment for revealing too many secrets. Moreover, we specialize in divination and do not have time to practice magical skills, let alone magic weapons."

After hearing this, Lu Xuanping had a bad feeling in his heart, "So, fellow Daoist, what you mean is that you don't have much fighting power left?"

"Well, that's not the case. At least I'm good at finding things and people."

Seeing that the other party did not deny the difference in strength, Lu Xuanping said, "Then please tell me clearly how your strength compares to that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Uh, this? Although an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator can beat three or five of me, at least it's not that easy for an ordinary late Jindan cultivator to defeat me."

Lu Xuanping finally understood why his body had no sense of crisis when facing Zhou Yi. It was not because this person was too strong and blocked this perception, but because this person’s ten fake Nascent Souls were not enough to pose a threat.

He really didn't expect that the strength of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could be comparable to that of a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage. It was really unbelievable.

If he had known that this person's cultivation strength was so poor, he should have proposed to place restrictions on him. Unfortunately, now that he has agreed to place restrictions on him, it would be a bit like destroying the bridge after crossing it.

However, Lu Xuanping was also relieved, at least he could judge that the other party should not be strong, so he had enough strength to control the situation. Regardless of whether he really joined the Lu family or not, he had the ability to control the overall situation.

Because Zhou Yi didn't care what Lu Xuanping thought, as long as Lu Xuanping could solve his problems, it would be enough. He had no one to rely on anyway, so he just had to rely on Lu Xuanping. Anyway, the Lu family in the Whirlpool Sea was supported by Lu Xuanping alone.

"Then I don't know how I should solve the problem that fellow Taoist has." Lu Xuanping suppressed his breath and said slowly.

Zhou Yi finally heard what he wanted to hear, and couldn't help but reveal an excited look on his face.

"Patriarch, you only need to let me cast a spell to draw the power of merit from you. Don't refuse then, okay?"

After hearing this, Lu Xuanping did not answer but said, "I am also proficient in medicine, why don't I diagnose you, maybe there are other ways to solve it."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He was about to say that this was not a physical injury but a punishment from heaven. Then he realized that Lu Xuanping said this purely to test whether what he said was true and whether his strength was really that poor.

Zhou Yi really wanted to be Lu Xuanping's subordinate. In fact, there are many big forces that have ways to gain merit to help him avoid divine punishment, but those forces have a lot of things to do, and there are many things that require divination, so their cost-effectiveness is not as high as Lu Xuanping's.

Besides, Lu Xuanping is so young. According to his judgment, this person is definitely not more than a hundred years old. He has such strength and combat power at such a young age. It is obvious that he has great opportunities and is a person with great luck. Such a person is just suitable for him to follow.

A man of integrity fears no crooked shadow.

"Well, then please ask the clan leader to check it for me!"

Lu Xuanping did not refuse either. He input his own magic power and felt the magic power coming from the opponent's meridians. He controlled the magic power to continue invading a few times and then he felt the resistance of the magic power. This was the body's instinctive reaction when alien magic power invaded.

However, when the two powers collided lightly, Zhou Yi's power was instantly defeated. He infiltrated the opponent's leg with his power, and instantly felt a very mysterious force entrenched there, hindering the repair. Without removing this force, the leg could not be repaired. This should be what Zhou Yi said about the punishment from heaven.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After he drew out the mana, he confirmed that what the man said was true. The mana he cultivated was indeed weak. This quality of mana was worse than that of his great grandfather. It was useless except for the quantity. No matter how exquisite the treasure was, this quality of mana would not be able to exert much power.

As for the person who could still hide it from Lu Xuanping at this level, why bother using any tricks when Lu Xuanping could be killed with just a slap?

After checking, Lu Xuanping finally confirmed that the other party was not telling the truth. Then Lu Xuanping put away the things on the table and formally acknowledged him.

······ After everything was ready, Zhou Yi looked calm and unhurried.

Lu Xuanping then said, "Then, Fellow Daoist Zhou Yi, let's get started!"

"good"

The two men sat cross-legged, facing each other under the moonlight. An inexplicable aura emanated from Zhou Yi's body. Lu Xuanping realized that it was the same aura from the other person's legs. Then a grayish-white color rushed to Zhou Yi's face.

At this time, Lu Xuanping lightly tapped the other person's heart with his finger.

A suction force came from Zhou Yi's heart area, and at the same time Lu Xuanping felt something was flowing away from his body. Lu Xuanping was not afraid that the other party would use any conspiracy or tricks to harm him.

After all, the nature of the Merit Snow Lotus is that it is immune to all evil, and he has never seen any evil magic that can break the defense of the Merit Snow Lotus.

As Lu Xuanping's merits were being lost, he sank into his dantian and watched the merits drop from 60,000 all the way to 40,000. Then Lu Xuanping withdrew his finger. It was impossible for him to let the other party consume all his merits at once.
