Chapter 224 That Thing

The Meng family is a top family in the Central Continent with a history of 100,000 years and a good upbringing. Meng Jingzhou, as the eldest son of the Meng family, has extraordinary conversation and naturally would not be dissatisfied with Li Haoran over trivial matters.

Meng Jingzhou looked at Li Haoran and said quietly, "Can you tell me about the aphrodisiac stuff earlier next time?"

Li Haoran said, "Oh," as if he remembered something, and then said, "Master told me that long-term lava soaking can also improve sexual performance. This is one of the reasons why I persisted. Facts have proved that the effect is indeed good."

"...Can we skip the topic of aphrodisiacs?"

"All right."

When Lu Yang and his group returned to Li's house, Li's mother had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

We can't ask Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to cook for two guests every day.

Meng Jingzhou bought a lot of things, basically everything he had never seen before.

Let’s put aside whether it’s useful or not for now, the main thing is that it’s rare.

Of course, Meng Jingzhou did not buy anything that was too provocative to his intelligence, such as the pure natural spiritual energy that was said to have a history of 4,000 years, was from the same era as the old phoenix, and witnessed the entire process of the old phoenix's fall.

Lu Yang bought an exquisitely crafted phoenix pendant, tied it together with his identity jade card, and pinned it around his waist.

Qin Yanyan bought a box of bamboo juice. Last night while having barbecue, she drank the bamboo juice, a specialty of Luofeng County. It was delicious.

Su Yiren didn't buy anything. As a person in the fusion stage, there was nothing worth buying for her in Luofeng County, unless it was the corpse of the old phoenix.

"Mom, you have this skill?" Li Haoran was stunned when he saw the table full of dishes. As far as he could remember, his mother couldn't cook so many delicious dishes.

Mother Li smiled and said, "I just learned it. During the time you were away, I had nothing to do anyway, so I might as well learn something."

Father Li interrupted: "Your mother just learned to buy vegetables from the old restaurant."

Mother Li glared at Father Li.

Li Haoran: “…”

Needless to say, the craftsmanship of the old restaurant is naturally excellent. It was a century-old restaurant that was rarely seen in Lu Yang's previous life, and it can be seen everywhere in the Central Continent.

But a hundred years is not enough to be called an old store. If you want to be called an old store, it must be at least five hundred years old.

The old restaurant is a thousand-year-old shop. The shop assistants have been replaced one after another, but the owner has never changed in a thousand years, which ensures that the taste will not be lost from the root.

The oldest thing in an old restaurant is not the recipe nor the furniture, but the owner himself.

What? You said that the food you ate here when you were a kid wasn't this flavor? I cooked the food you ate when you were a kid! After everyone had dinner, Lu Yang asked Su Yiren about the matters of forming the elixir.

"Jie Dan?" Su Yiren didn't expect Lu Yang to ask her about this. Didn't Haoran say that he was the fourth disciple of the leader of the Dao Sect? Why didn't he ask the leader of the Dao Sect directly? They were both in the Fusion Stage, but the gold content of the leader of the Dao Sect was much higher than hers.

Lu Yang couldn't say in front of outsiders that his master was an old frivolous man who went out to tell stories every day and could only teach for a few days in total.

"Master has the world in his heart and has no time to care about me."

"So that's how it is." Su Yiren nodded and believed what Lu Yang said.

Meng Jingzhou on the side rolled his eyes.

Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran were also in the room, listening to Su Yiren's explanation of the matters concerning Dan formation.

Li Haoran is only in the initial stage of foundation building now, but it doesn’t matter. The knowledge of forming the elixir will be useful sooner or later.

"I think the most important thing for forming a golden elixir is opportunity. I have average talent, and my biggest wish is to form a second-grade golden elixir. This is already the best scenario I can imagine."

"In order to produce a second-grade golden elixir, I tried every possible way to gain insights. I went deep into the mountains and forests to fight monsters, sat on a boulder and let the waterfall wash over me, observed the various aspects of human life and comprehended the atmosphere of the world... I did all these, but failed without exception."

"One day, after I finished my training, I lay on the edge of a cliff, looking at the starry sky, and felt extremely insignificant."

"It was at that time that an inexplicable feeling came to my mind. I took this opportunity to gather my energy and condense the pill. The pill was full of color and was a first-grade golden pill."

"When I didn't pursue it deliberately, I got some insights. I exchanged my thoughts with several people who were in the same field, and two of them had similar situations to me."

Lu Yang had some realization and thanked Su Yiren.

…

In the dark night, Lu Yang opened his eyes, not knowing what time it was.

"Awake? I was just about to call you." The Immortal Fairy spoke, not surprised that Lu Yang woke up.

Lu Yang frowned. In his sleep he noticed someone sneaking into Li Haoran's house.

What is the purpose? "Two people, in the middle stage of the Golden Core." The Immortal Fairy informed them of their situation.

Lu Yang was puzzled. Mr. and Mother Li were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage and their financial resources were average. Was there anything in Li Haoran's house that could attract a Golden Core Stage cultivator?

Could it be that Meng Jingzhou bought the Phoenix Blood Stone? Lu Yang was not worried about the danger. Even if Su Yiren did not take action, he and Meng Jingzhou would be more than enough to deal with these two uninvited guests.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Meng, are you awake?" Su Yiren's voice echoed in Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's minds.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Li Haoran and Qin Yanyan are still inexperienced and not as alert as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"Just woke up." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou said, "Senior Su, what's the situation now?"

Su Yiren shook her head. "I don't know much. I only know that the two people who sneaked into my house were in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. They were sneaky and I don't know their purpose. My intuition tells me that there is someone behind them. I want to capture them, but I'm afraid of alerting them."

"This is easy to handle. Senior Su, you just need to stay by the side and support us." Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou quickly came up with a solution.

Under Su Yiren's curious gaze, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou skillfully changed into night clothes and quietly walked out of the house.

The two Jindan stage cultivators were obviously looking for something, but they did not dare to use their spiritual sense for fear of being discovered.

I heard that this family has produced a genius, who is a disciple of the Wendao Sect. Unless necessary, their affairs must not be known to the Wendao Sect.

They thought their actions were secretive, but in fact they had been noticed by several people.

They suddenly became alert, realizing that danger was approaching, and dodged the attacks of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“I didn’t expect you could dodge this attack. You must have some skills.” Lu Yang sneered and transmitted his message using his spiritual sense.

"Who are you! What are you doing here at the Li family?" two Jindan stage cultivators responded.

"Heh, you're asking even though you already know the answer. Since we met at the Li family, what else could it be for? Of course, it's to find that thing!" Meng Jingzhou smiled nonchalantly, as if he was laughing at the stupid questions asked by the two. "As for who we are, who else do you think would know about this?"

The two Jindan-stage cultivators widened their eyes: "How did you know?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world, so how can there be any eternal secrets? We will know what we should know no matter how hard we try to hide it." Lu Yang laughed, "Do you think you are the only ones who care about that thing?"

"Damn it, how did the Mo family know about the Phoenix Blood Stone!" The two Jindan stage cultivators quickly determined the identities of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

It must be the Mo family who is against them!

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at each other and realized that it was indeed all because of the Phoenix Blood Stone they bought.

The two Jindan stage monks knew that their plan had been exposed, so they did not continue fighting after a brief exchange and took the opportunity to escape.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou tried desperately to catch up with the two Jindan stage masters, but they failed and became frustrated.

Seeing that they had shaken off Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, the two Jindan stage cultivators hurried back to report the situation.

"Senior Su, if we follow them, we will know who is behind the scenes." Lu Yang said, quickening his pace and secretly following the two Jindan stages.

Su Yiren had a strange expression on her face. How come you two are so skilled at doing this?
