Chapter 19 What is the end of the world?
The bloody sky only lasted for a quarter of an hour before disappearing without a trace.
At the crosswalk, Li Chengfeng looked up at the sky in the north and said to Li Pingan casually, "It's just evil spirit, nothing to be surprised about."
The place with the most spiritual energy in China is Changbai Mountain. It is where spiritual veins gather, so it is not surprising that a few monsters appear there.
"What is evil spirit, uncle?" Li Ping'an asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.
Li Chengfeng explained, "Animals that have become spirits are called demons, and the aura that demons emit is demonic energy." Seeing that the red light was about to end, he reminded her, "Don't look anymore. You're about to cross the road. Watch out for cars."
After the red light flashed, the green light came on and pedestrians began to cross the road.
Li Pingan reluctantly withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, that demonic aura is quite pretty, that demon should also be very pretty.
The uncle and nephew returned home as usual. Li Ping'an began her daily test in the living room. Li Chengfeng went to the kitchen to take out the herbs and began to refine the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill.
There are three important elements in alchemy: the cauldron, the medicinal materials, and the temperature of the fire.
Perhaps it was because he had not refined mortal pills for a long time and his hands were a little rusty, or perhaps it was because he could not find a suitable cauldron for making pills, so he had to temporarily use a pressure cooker as a container. The moment Li Chengfeng formed the pill, a strange phenomenon occurred.
First, a huge amount of spiritual energy surged between heaven and earth and merged into the pressure cooker. The small pressure cooker could not withstand such a huge pressure. After stuttering for two seconds, it exploded with a bang and chose to end its brilliant but short life by self-explosion.
Then the medicine splashed everywhere, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into the air. In an instant, outside the house, hundreds of beasts were running and hundreds of birds were singing, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Li Chengfeng acted quickly and condensed the scattered medicinal liquid between his fingertips. He then wrapped it with spiritual power and compressed it into a ball to prevent the aroma of the medicine from emanating, thus avoiding causing even greater chaos.
After resolving the emergency, he used his spiritual power to compress the contained medicinal liquid to the extreme, slowly introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into it, and then, at the moment when the liquid turned into a solid, he performed a set of complicated hand gestures to form a pill.
Just as the pill was about to take shape, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the window, and the weather changed in an instant.
Dark clouds gathered rapidly, and muffled thunder sounded from time to time in the sky, carrying a hint of warning.
If you want to refine something that does not belong to this world and act against heaven, you will have to endure the punishment from heaven.
Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. Most people would have been distracted by such a scene.
Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry. He calmly concentrated and waited for the pill to form.
The moment the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill was formed, the calamity clouds in the sky seemed to sense something. A purple lightning appeared under the clouds and then suddenly struck towards Li Chengfeng.
When the thunderbolt struck, Li Chengfeng did not dodge or avoid it. Instead, he faced the challenge head-on and faced the thick lightning.
His entire body was bathed in thunder and lightning, urging the liquid medicine in his hand to continuously absorb the essence of heaven and earth, completing the final step of tempering the elixir.
Time passed little by little, and when the last trace of thunder dissipated, two dazzling golden pills finally flew out from the dazzling light and stayed on Li Chengfeng's palm.
The elixir is ready and a strange fragrance arises.
The dark clouds dispersed and bright clouds rose.
This means that the elixir refined this time is of the highest quality.
Li Chengfeng looked at the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill in his hand which was emitting a strong medicinal fragrance, but showed a look of disappointment.
With the tempering of thunder tribulation, the quality of the pills refined this time is good, but there are only two pills in total, and the pill-forming rate is really too low.
What's more, he didn't expect that refining the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill would cause such a big commotion and even bring down a thunder disaster.
The Heavenly Dao of this world has indeed never seen any good things. If I had known earlier, I would have set up a barrier before refining it.
But now that the refining was done and the pressure cooker had exploded, Li Chengfeng simply started to give up.
In order to prevent Qi Xiang from asking him to pay compensation in the future, he expressionlessly crushed the pressure cooker into a lump of iron and threw it into the recycling bin to destroy the evidence.
After refining the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, Li Ping'an had also finished a set of examination papers.
Li Chengfeng cleaned up the mess in the kitchen and finally started the most important task of the day—
Marking Li Ping'an's test paper.
Li Pingan was a little bored after finishing the test paper. He was sitting on a high chair, swinging his little feet, and drawing quietly with a pen.
Li Chengfeng casually put the two refined pills into the water cup on the table, took Li Ping'an's test paper, compared it with the standard answers, and began to mark the papers.
Li Ping'an's eyes were attracted by the two golden pills. He raised his head from the drawing board and asked curiously, "Uncle, what is this?"
It smells strangely fragrant.
She couldn't help swallowing.
Li Chengfeng answered while reading the papers: "This is the medicine for your brother Xiaoqi."
Oh, it turns out to be medicine for Brother Xiao Qi.
Li Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Will Brother Xiao Qi wake up after eating it?"
Li Chengfeng nodded, looking at the test score in his hand with a frown.
During this period of time, he has given Li Ping'an all the real papers of the primary school entrance examination in the city. The one in front of him is the last one. But judging from Li Ping'an's current grades, it would be harder than climbing to the sky to get him into a public school. He has to make other plans as soon as possible.
It is true that there is no need for entrance exams to attend private elementary schools. You can go in by paying the fee, but what happens after you get in? Will there be no more exams forever?
He also couldn't understand why Li Ping'an was such a poor student, since his sister and brother-in-law were both top students...
Is it because the nephew looks like his uncle?
This is too much of a rip-off.
Li Chengfeng has been cultivating immortals in the world for five thousand years. His cultivation level is far superior to others. He never has to use his brain to solve problems that can be solved by force. He has never thought that there would be a day when he would have a headache about his niece's academic performance.
If I had known this earlier, I would have stockpiled some recipes for brain-enhancing pills in the world of immortal cultivation.
He put down the test paper and sighed.
Li Pingan had no idea of his uncle's sadness. He watched him put down the test paper, raised his innocent face, and asked naively, "Uncle, when are we going to give Brother Xiaoqi medicine?"
"We'll talk about the medicine later." Li Chengfeng pushed the test paper in front of Li Ping'an, "This is the last test paper. Take a look at the score first."
Seeing the bright red numbers on the test paper, Li Ping'an's smile froze on his face and his little head drooped immediately.
There is no other reason, the score is just too low.
Perhaps the test process was too painful. She pursed her lips, endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help crying out loud: "It's too difficult, I can't do it!"
Li Chengfeng has been cultivating immortals for five thousand years, and his sword heart is as firm as a rock. Hearing this, he touched Li Ping'an's head and said, "We seek immortality and ask for the way, which is against the will of heaven. What is there to be afraid of with just a test paper?"
Although Li Ping'an didn't quite understand, looking at his uncle's calm expression, he always felt inexplicably at peace.
She sobbed and asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"
Li Chengfeng thought about it and thought there might be another way.
When he went out recently, he received some flyers from tutoring institutions, and the advertising slogans on them were very attractive.
Maybe Li Ping'an is not a bad student at all. All she needs to get into C City Experimental Primary School is a gold medal tutor.
But the gold medal tutors are so popular that their schedules have been booked long ago until next year, and school is about to start in September, so we really can’t wait.
A society ruled by law cannot force teachers to give Li Ping'an extra lessons, so Li Chengfeng had no choice but to find another way.
Unable to hire a human teacher, he decided to get something for free from monsters. After all, monsters are not protected by Chinese law.
Currently, the most knowledgeable monster on Earth is a turtle that has lived for tens of thousands of years. It is the best candidate chosen by Li Chengfeng. Unfortunately, it recently swam to the Atlantic Ocean. Li Chengfeng does not have a passport and cannot buy a cross-border ticket. He can only settle for the second best and set his sights on China.
The longest-lived monster in China is a green dragon from Changbai Mountain. It has been practicing for more than a thousand years, so it should be more than capable of teaching a few elementary school students.
Li Chengfeng also checked on his mobile phone. The train ride from City C to Changbai Mountain takes 25 hours, so he can get there after a night's sleep. It just so happened that the bonus for enthusiastic citizens had been paid, so the train ticket price was within an acceptable range.
Very good, it’s you, little green dragon.
After deciding on a tutor, Li Chengfeng said to Li Pingan, "After I deliver the medicine to Qi Xiang, I will take you to Changbai Mountain."
Although Li Ping'an didn't know why he had to go to Changbai Mountain, he always had a feeling that a disaster was about to happen.
She said weakly: "Uncle, Ping An doesn't want to go to Changbai Mountain."
Li Chengfeng did not agree to her request this time, and said seriously: "You chose to go to school, so you have to be responsible for your choice. With your grades, you won't be able to keep up with the class even if you enroll. You won't be able to graduate by then. Do you want to repeat a grade in elementary school until you grow old?"
Li Pingan shuddered for no apparent reason and said tremblingly, "Pingan doesn't want to."
That's it.
The uncle and nephew happily (?) reached an agreement to go to Changbai Mountain and finished today's exam task. Li Chengfeng put the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill in his pocket and went out with Li Pingan, preparing to go to the hospital to deliver medicine to Qi Xiang.
While waiting for the elevator, I happened to see my neighbor coming out. She was pulling a trailer with one hand and talking on the phone with the other: "Girl, I'm telling you, you should also stock up. The Internet says the world is about to end... Don't tell me about magnetic fields. Can you believe what experts say?... Hey, what superstition is there? I'm telling you that some things are just so mysterious... I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Here comes the elevator. Hang up. Remember to stock up."
With a "ding dong" sound, the elevator door opened and it was filled with people. Each person had a small trailer and they all looked like they were ready to go to the supermarket for a big shopping spree.
Li Chengfeng was a little surprised. Was there any activity today?
The neighbor lady squeezed for a long time but failed to get on the elevator, so she had to wait for the next one in disappointment.
Since she was free, she saw Li Chengfeng and Li Pingan standing by and approached them enthusiastically, "Young man, are you guys here to stock up on goods as well?"
Li Chengfeng: “No.”
The old lady immediately started teaching mode: "Didn't you see the abnormality today? The weather is so bad today and the animals are reacting. People on the Internet are saying that the world is going to end."
"An expert just came out to refute the rumor, saying that this was an unusual movement of animals caused by changes in the Earth's magnetic field, and that everyone should not be too nervous. But the more he refuted the rumor, the more I felt something was wrong. Something big must have happened. It would be safer to stock up on some rice, flour, grain and oil."
"I just called my daughter and asked her to go to the supermarket to buy some things, but she didn't believe me and said that the videos on the Internet were all photoshopped."
"What the hell, I saw it with my own eyes today. The cats and dogs downstairs rushed over here like crazy. It was so scary."
The aunt showed Li Chengfeng the video she had taken this morning. Li Chengfeng realized at a glance that this was the aftereffect of his alchemy.
He opened his phone and saw that all the headlines pushed by the apps were discussing the strange phenomenon in City C this morning.
#Are there any signs of an earthquake in a place in City C? Official Response#
#The fish jumped out of the water at Monkey Stone Bridge in City C. The reason is this#
#A spectacle of "Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" appeared in City C. Does the Phoenix really exist? #
…
He put away his phone, looked at the worried old lady, and asked, "Do you know where I can buy a pressure cooker?"
Aunt: “Ah?”
I told you to stock up, and you told me to buy pots?
It’s already this late, what pot should I buy?
The old lady shook her head like a rattle, with a look of disapproval on her face, "Young man, you'd better go buy some rice, flour, grain and oil to store at home. You have a baby to take care of. Adults can go hungry, but children can't."
She kept giving instructions in Li Chengfeng's ear until the next elevator came, then she stopped preaching.
Li Chengfeng took Li Pingan into the elevator, where everyone was enthusiastically discussing countermeasures for the end of the world.
He kept his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart, quietly squeezed in the corner of the elevator, and did not participate in their conversation.
After getting off the elevator, Li Pingan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle, what is the end of the world?"
Li Chengfeng held her hand, thought for a moment, and said, "It's the end of the world. It's like a pressure cooker exploding."
