The next morning.

On the outskirts of the capital, there is an ancient courtyard.

There is an old locust tree full of locust flowers in the yard. When the spring breeze blows, the locust flowers sway gently, bringing with them a faint fragrance that covers the smell of medicinal herbs in the yard.

Next to the bamboo rack used for drying herbs under the courtyard wall, a pretty girl in simple clothes stood there. Her slender white hands gently picked the dried herbs, while she pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between two brothers under the locust tree behind her.

"What did you say? Brother Zhao was rescued?!"

Under the locust tree, Ding Xiu was leaning on his slender Miao sword, looking at his junior fellow apprentice in astonishment.

Jin Yichuan nodded solemnly, his face showing both shock and excitement.

As soon as he learned about the robbery of the Tianlao, he thought that the person who was rescued might be Zhao Lihe.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the possibility was not high. After all, the only people outside the Heavenly Prison who missed Zhao Lihe were their Tongmenghui, except the one in Shuzhong.

Although the man from Shu would plead for Zhao Lihe, he would definitely not do something like robbing the Heavenly Prison.

Therefore, when following the Jinyiwei into the Tianlao, Jin Yichuan's most important goal was to try his best to remember the internal structure of the Tianlao and its geographical location, so that he could break out of the prison with Ding Xiu and others a few days later.

But who would have thought that the person who was rescued was actually Zhao Lihe.

Although it is unclear who did it, it still helped them and they don't have to take the risk of jailbreaking again.

Ding Xiu frowned and paced back and forth in the yard. Suddenly, he stopped and looked up and said, "No matter what, Brother Zhao has left that damn place. The most urgent thing is to mobilize people to find Brother Zhao as soon as possible."

"I thought so too, so as soon as it was daybreak, I came to look for you on the pretext of seeing a doctor."

"I'm afraid they're not just looking for me..."

Ding Xiu suddenly raised his voice and said with a smile.

After these words were spoken, not only did Jin Yichuan feel a little embarrassed, but the girl who was eavesdropping also froze. She quickly lowered her head, pretending that she had not heard anything and got busy, her bare hands unconsciously kneading those poor dried herbs.

Ding Xiu noticed the girl's little movements and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Jin Yichuan smiled bitterly and whispered, "Brother, don't joke around at this time. It's more important to find Brother Zhao."

Ding Xiu laughed, picked up the Miao Dao and said, "Brother, this is your fault. No matter what you do, you always like to stay tense until the task is over. But I tell you, the bigger the task, the less tense you should be. It's like a competition in a ring. The one who lets go will always have a greater chance of winning..."

As he spoke, Ding Xiu patted his shoulder and walked past him.

As they passed each other, he poked Jin Yichuan's shoulder with the handle of the knife, and used the force to make him turn around so that he was facing the girl's back.

"Okay, leave the contact with the organization to me, you stay here and take care of the disease."

Ding Xiu waved his hand, left a meaningful word, and then left the yard carrying the Miao Dao.

Facing his senior's teasing, Jin Yichuan was helpless, but when he saw the girl's back, he couldn't help but be a little dazed.

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Yichuan gritted his teeth and walked over.

…

…

In a secret house in the southeast corner of the capital.

Zhao Lihe slowly opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head, a little dazed.

Everything that happened last night seemed like a dream to him.

Both the other time traveler and the act of escaping from the Heavenly Prison itself made him feel a little dazed.

Even though the scene before him was no longer the dark and cramped prison cell, Zhao Lihe still had a momentary illusion, thinking that everything before him might just be his imagination before death.

But soon, his strong willpower made his eyes clear and firm again.

Zhao Lihe turned over and sat up, pushed the door open and walked out, and the sunlight outside immediately shone into the room.

In the sunshine, a tall figure in a green shirt stood bent over in the yard, trimming the flowers and plants.

Seeing this figure, Zhao Lihe couldn't help but smile.

“Brother Lin!”

"You're awake."

Lin Zhongtian didn't look back. While trimming the flowers and plants, he said with a slight smile: "I was in a hurry to travel last night and didn't take your physical condition into consideration. When I arrived, I found that you were so weak, so I took the initiative to treat you and let you have a good sleep. How do you feel now?"

Zhao Lihe stretched his body after hearing that, and couldn't help but raise his hands and kick his legs.

"It's much more comfortable indeed!"

Zhao Lihe was a little surprised that after just one night's rest, his body seemed to have returned to its peak condition.

Not only were all his old physical injuries healed, but his energy and spirit, as well as the cold he caught last night, were also restored.

What an incredible method!

Zhao Lihe couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Lin, this is the legendary magic power, it is indeed omnipotent!"

"This isn't magic power... but your understanding is not wrong."

Lin Zhongtian laughed and casually hung the scissors he used to trim flowers and plants on a branch, explaining, "I was pressed for time last night and didn't have time to explain myself clearly. I'm actually not the kind of immortal cultivator you understand. In comparison, I'm more like the superpowered person in American comics. So, unfortunately, if you want to learn immortal cultivation from me..."

Lin Zhongtian paused and spread his hands, indicating that he could do nothing to help.

Seeing Lin Zhongtian speaking frankly, Zhao Lihe blushed slightly and looked a little embarrassed.

The reason why he brought up this topic was that he did have this in mind, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly, so he wanted to start a conversation and then move on to the next topic naturally.

But unexpectedly, Lin Zhongtian saw through his thoughts at a glance and pointed them out bluntly.

Zhao Lihe was a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "Brother Lin, I..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and shook his head: "No need to explain, I know you don't mean anything else. As a Chinese, and a modern Chinese who has read countless immortal cultivation novels, it would be strange if you didn't have such thoughts!"

"However, I am indeed not a cultivator, and I don't have any secret manuals on cultivation."

...So what exactly are your abilities?

Zhao Lihe was very curious, but after hesitating for a while, he was too embarrassed to ask.

In his understanding, the specific abilities of people with super powers are very important secrets.

Because it not only includes an introduction to abilities, but also includes the flaws in abilities.

Just like the superpowers in those urban supernatural novels, the most important thing in the battle between them, besides the pure crushing of strength, is the restraint between their abilities.

Therefore, Zhao Lihe didn't know whether he should ask this question.

But Lin Zhongtian once again made the decision for him.

He said calmly, "To put it simply, I possess a kind of gray mist-like energy that can make life evolve, strengthen the body, and improve intelligence. In addition, I can also use the gray mist to control other lives and objects, but this control is not permanent. Once the gray mist dissipates, it will lose its effect, just like what you saw last night."

"Oh, right. This energy is also used to repair your damaged vocal cords and the hidden injuries in your body. But don't worry, I can only control this energy when it is in the form of gray mist. Once it is integrated into your flesh and blood, the gray mist will be transformed into life energy that heals wounds and strengthens your body. In this state, I cannot control it."
