After two days of excitement, the dull, waveless life of closed-door cultivation resumed.
Inside the Golden Crown, there were countless Daoist books, and Li Changzhou could always select player skills for the Human Crossing Tribulation at will—of course, he had to be quick. For this, Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia threw their Identity Cards at him, telling him to handle it.
Handling it is the best yet most difficult thing in the world, depending on the relationship between the parties involved.
While Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia hadn't picked their skills yet, Li Changzhou had already completely changed Yafeiluna's skills.
He couldn't be bothered to waste time on the Italian Evangelical's affairs, and the Moon Base also needed someone to watch over it—there would definitely be players able to fly to the Moon in the future, and the stronger Yafeiluna was, the more she could take care of these boring chores.
With Yafeiluna's current strength, she was already able to suppress the Evangelical, and the Pope who initially boasted about being able to fight the 'Lord' wouldn't dare claim he could definitely beat her.
The "Mafia Mistress" instinct tied to Li Changzhou could be said to be maximized (at least on Earth there was no problem with that).
Yang Qinglan concentrated on "Heaven and Earth Furnace Mysterious Dao Enlightenment Treasure".
This Daoist method, when cultivated to a profound level, could use heaven and earth as a Pill Furnace, refining all transformations within heaven and earth.
When sharing her insights, she said, "All things in the universe are a kind of Elixir Pills, people included. If I can find the Elixir recipe, I could even refine people, let alone the sun, the moon, the stars, flowers, and trees—it's all the same principle."
"I think if you want to study the 'Human Pill'," Li Qianxia propped her chin in her hand, pondering seriously, "first, you need to have one yourself. Once you have one, you'll understand how heaven and earth concocted 'humans'."
Li Changzhou admired his sister's courage for not fearing to be beaten when she spoke.
"Makes sense." Unexpectedly, Yang Qinglan agreed!
She continued, "Let's talk about it when we have time. Right now, I don't have ten months to waste."
"Immortal's children... how long do they need to be pregnant? Oh right, my brother is also a Divine Body, a hundred percent chance of pregnancy, a hundred percent inheritance of the Divine Body bloodline, maybe even longer."
"Then let's wait some more." Li Changzhou mused, "Wait until I become even stronger, so my child has better talents."
Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia exchanged glances—they couldn't believe he was seriously thinking about this!!
Yang Qinglan's lips curled into a smile, and with the Ruyi in her hand, she tapped Li Changzhou lightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Changzhou asked, puzzled.
"Nothing, just felt like touching you." Yang Qinglan raised a faint smile.
Even though he didn't know why, Li Changzhou smiled too, and at this moment, Li Qianxia interjected, "Brother, your [Divine Body] is capable of making any female pregnant, right?"
".....Is it appropriate for you to talk about this with me?"
"Stop joking, I'm being serious." Li Qianxia frowned, adopting the expression of a kindergarten teacher.
"Alright, alright, serious talk, Teacher Qianxia, please proceed."
Yang Qinglan listened earnestly as well.
"So you absolutely can't carelessly throw away... rubbish." Li Qianxia was serious, "Imagine if everywhere was overgrown with wild plants, just think, if a tree suddenly grew a fruit, and from that fruit a sprite or something flew out, what then?"
"Do you think, with your sister Yang in my heart and my current realm, such things would still happen?"
"Just a reminder, I'm only reminding you with good intentions, don't rush me, come on, have some grapes, ah—"
Li Changzhou, fed with grapes by his sister, had nothing to say.
Yang Qinglan, with her stunningly beautiful visage, momentarily revealed a thoughtful look, as if pondering something.
All these were but interludes amidst cultivation.
Li Qianxia cultivated a bit of every splendid and varied Daoist method, but the progress was fastest with the Daoist methods Li Changzhou cultivated—relying on the "Jade Leaf" pedigree, or to put it in trendy terms, she could freeload anything from Li Changzhou.
Turquoise Pool was not around.
Even if the Mortal World reeked, she had to return, she had major responsibilities.
But she herself said that she stayed in a suburban villa, listening to reports remotely over the internet and directing her subordinates to get things done.
The Dragon Palace she brought back from the Jiajing Dynasty was also handed over to her subordinates for redecoration, mainly the household items, which all needed to be changed.
She planned to toss the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the Great Lake in "Honey Pot World" as a leisure spot.
If she wanted to build a house in "Honey Pot World", Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan wouldn't be too happy about it, but since the Dragon Palace could expand and contract, acting as a top-notch camping tent, they didn't say much.
He felt increasingly conquered by this woman step by step.
That evening, Turquoise Pool returned to "Honey Pot World".
"The Special Warfare Bureau contacted me," she said, "asking me to reach out to you. They want to buy your intelligence as well as the details of the 'Tribulation Immortal' mission."
"Not going." Li Changzhou declined without a second thought.
"Is it because of the taste or you just don't want to sell?" Yang Qinglan inquired.
"The taste, plus I don't have the time. My cultivation is going very well lately, I don't want to interrupt it." Li Changzhou replied, "I can write it down for them. A stronger Special Warfare Bureau means a more stable domestic environment, which is a good thing."
"Then we'll leave it to Turquoise Pool." Yang Qinglan seemed to have thought it through, "and give her everything obtained in exchange, to offset the loan for buying the Golden Crown."
Her clear gaze turned towards Turquoise Pool: "I'm not business savvy, but that should be the right price, right?"
Turquoise Pool smiled without saying a word, her lips a rosy red, her face pale as jade, her white hair like fresh snow, beguiling yet ethereal.
"It's just repaying a debt, not cutting off goodwill." Yang Qinglan added.
"Mm—" Turquoise Pool laughed with a meaningful and slightly sly look, as if it was her turn to consider the other party's offer.
Apart from seducing her own Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan found no fault with Turquoise Pool; they had saved each other's lives during the Human Tribulation in the Bohai area of the Jiajing Dynasty.
