But then, after seeing Shu Mei take out a piece of yellow paper, bite his finger and draw an extremely complicated pattern on it, he picked up the drawn talisman and shook it. The next moment, there was a rumbling thunder outside the house, and lightning and thunder all gathered together.
Shu Mei was still smiling, but the people of the Zhuge family stopped smiling and looked out the window with serious expressions.
Those who didn't trust him thought that Shu Lu was just lucky, but after Shu Lu blew out the talisman in his hand, the sky outside became clear again in the blink of an eye.
This time, they believed it completely.
After Shu Mei displayed this powerful ability, she found that the people of the Zhuge family had changed their previous indifference and were now staring at her with fiery eyes, revealing greed and confusion in their looks.
Shu Mei had no intention of explaining, he just pointed at his laptop and said, "The two exercises described in this book are one for cultivating immortals and one for interstellar physical training. You will come to me later and I will test whether you have spiritual roots. I believe you have read or heard of novels about cultivating immortals. The yellow paper I drew before is a talisman, the most basic lightning-attracting talisman in cultivating immortals."
Everyone showed distrust on their faces, but Shu Mei pretended not to see it and said, "You may ask me why there are such things. I can only say that this is an opportunity. My people found it in the seabed. After I verified it myself, I found that my strength increased greatly. Therefore, based on my identity as the heir of the Zhuge family, I will present these two things to the Zhuge family members so that everyone in the Zhuge family can have the opportunity to learn."
As he spoke, Shu Mei ignored everyone's gazes and stared at the computer, then suddenly closed it with force, sneering, "But in order to prevent the existence of spies from other families in our family, they will give the cultivation techniques and interstellar physical training techniques that I have worked hard to collect to other families, so that our Zhuge family will be at a disadvantage."
The other members of the Zhuge family looked disgusted, as if Shu Lu was doubting them and looking down on them. However, Shu Lu continued coldly, "This is something I, as the next clan leader, do not want to see. Therefore, everyone present needs to drink the talisman water I drew and be poisoned. Make sure you will never betray me in this life, and then I will hand these things over to you."
Shu Mei said all this, and she originally thought that everyone present would at least think about it, but after she finished speaking, Grandpa Zhuge, the clan leader, immediately knocked on his cane.
With a very serious expression, he said, "Granddaughter, go and mix the talisman water now, and I will do ideological work with these people."
Shu Mei nodded when she heard this. Although she was the heiress of the Zhuge family, she was not a real one after all. The old man in front of her was the one who really held power. It would save her a lot of words to let him do the negotiation.
Grandpa Zhuge was relieved when he saw Shu Mei drawing on the spot. He said confidently, "Everyone present here, since you are all from my Zhuge family, even other women who married into our Zhuge family were given the surname of the Zhuge family the moment they married in. You are enjoying the benefits of the Zhuge family, so don't think about using our family's unique cultivation techniques and interstellar physical training techniques to support your family."
"Shu Mei is not only my granddaughter, but also the next heir. It is only natural for her to take some precautions just in case. Don't blame my granddaughter for being ruthless. This is how it is. The temptation of immortality is something that even the emperors of ancient times could not escape, let alone your family members."
He suddenly sighed and said weakly, "If this matter is leaked out, the entire Zhuge family will face a catastrophe. I believe that some of the smart people among you should also realize this, but in order to prevent the existence of one or two idiots in our family, it is necessary to take some preventive measures."
The Zhuge family originally respected the head of the family, and everyone else had to obey the head of the family's orders. Moreover, compared to Shu Lu, Grandpa Zhuge had been in power for decades and was the real ruler of the Zhuge family. So after he said this, the Zhuge family members who were dissatisfied with Shu Lu before did not dare to say a word and could only nod obediently.
Under the heated gazes of the crowd, Shu Mei threw the drawn talisman into a kettle. After stirring it, the transparent water turned bright red, looking extremely ominous.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva and drank the magic water with disgust, but although the water looked disgusting, it tasted no different from clean water, and they didn't feel anything unusual.
In order to warn them, Shu Lu activated the poison in their bodies, instantly causing all the Zhuge family members present to fall to the ground in severe pain.
Shu Mei watched coldly, calculating the time, and at this moment, Grandpa Zhuge took the initiative to pick up a glass of water, drank it, and then bent over due to the torture of the poison.
Shu Mei was shocked. She had not originally prepared anything for Grandpa Zhuge, because he was the patriarch of the Zhuge family after all, and he put the Zhuge family first. But in order not to show that he was special, Grandpa Zhuge was also afraid that after this matter was exposed, someone would arrest him and torture him.
At that time, he was not sure of his own willpower. He might reveal all the secrets because of the torture. In this case, he would become a sinner of the Zhuge family. So he got the water and drank it.
After drinking it, although the torture only lasted for a moment, it cost him half his life.
The moment Shu Mei drank the water, he immediately stopped controlling the poison.
At this moment, although it was only less than half a minute, these Zhuge family members were already lying on the ground, sweating all over, and said weakly: "This poison is indeed powerful. This is the first time I have seen it. But what if Shu Mei is caught and the news is exposed?"
When Shu Mei heard him say that, he turned to look over, and saw that it was the man who usually played best with the male protagonist Liu Tianqi. They were almost the same.
In the Zhuge family, this man is considered to have some abilities, but Shu Mei subconsciously feels disgusted with the male protagonist and the people around him.
So at this moment he sneered and said: "Maybe you can come and give it a try to see how capable I am."
Her voice was cold and sharp, and she had been in a high position for a long time. So after she finished speaking, no one dared to say a word and shut their mouths obediently.
After Shu Mei's outburst, the entire Zhuge family noticed the change in her personality. Grandpa Zhuge looked at her with some concern and said, "Does practicing this technique have an impact on one's personality? I always feel that you have become much more irritable since you came back this time."
Shu Mei was stunned for a moment, but smiled and comforted him, saying, "It's nothing, actually. I just feel disgusted and angry when I think about the engagement between Liu Tianqi and me."
Shu Mei rolled her eyes and decided to complete the first task now, so she said: "Grandpa, although the marriage between our family and the Liu family was decided when I was a child, the times are different now. In the past, the marriage was for sharing resources, but now our family has obtained such a skill. If the Liu family knew about it... this..."
She didn't say it explicitly, but she mentioned it tactfully: "Liu Tianqi and I only have brother-sister affection, and I don't want to marry my own brother. The reason why I thought about this matter at the beginning was that I was young and ignorant, and he coaxed me with candy, so I followed him. Now when I think about it, it was really stupid. I thought I was smart all my life, but I was confused at that time..."
As he said this, he shook his head with regret.
Her narcissistic attitude was somewhat childish, and the Zhuge family members present were originally a little afraid of her temper just now, but at this moment, they all pursed their lips and smiled.
The relationship between the family members was restored.
Shu Mei looked out the window and said, "This cultivation method cannot be told to the Liu family, so I ask you, Grandpa, to go and tell the Liu family that there is no love between us two young people. Anyway, I want to cancel my engagement with Liu Tianqi."
She stood up and said, "Line up one by one and come in front of me. I will see if you have spiritual roots. Those who have spiritual roots can practice the Taiyin Immortal Cultivation Technique, and those who don't can practice the Interstellar Body Training Technique."
Seeing that she looked anxious, everyone took action subconsciously, although they didn't know why.
When Grandpa Zhuge saw it, he stroked his beard with great satisfaction and became even more satisfied with Shu Mei.
The first person Shu Mei checked was Grandpa Zhuge, and Grandpa Zhuge was also lucky. He actually had the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and his aptitude was excellent.
Shu Mei looked at them one by one, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the twenty or so people with spiritual roots in the Zhuge family, as well as the others without spiritual roots, and handed the laptop to Grandpa Zhuge.
She looked at her watch and said, "You guys should practice first. I will leave for Tibet this afternoon. There is something I want to find there. I can't take care of the company's affairs and the Zhuge family's business right now, so the Zhuge family's affairs will be temporarily handed over to Grandpa."
