Chapter 538: Ginger is still spicier when old

Looking into Zhuge Qing's eyes, he said word by word: "Your strange array formations don't mean you can control a large area, but you must master the inner self. First stabilize yourself, that is, the center palace, and then talk about other things."

Zhuge Qing stared at Murong Ji in a daze, then slowly lowered his head to think, muttering to himself: "So that's it."

Murong Ji then continued, "And then? Then we can 'suppress the rebellion' with the purpose of 'keeping the world at peace'. Just like the King of Qin conquered the world, that's fine."

"It's OK to imitate the might of the Zhuang people like Emperor Wu. It's OK to imitate the 'Heavenly Khan' of Emperor Taizong. Just don't let him cause chaos and challenge the authority of the imperial palace."

"As for how to do it, we need to regulate and guide. Only when we win the hearts of the people can we rule the world." Murong Ji stood up and stretched lazily. "As for how to do it in terms of the technique, don't ask me. I don't know either."

As he said that, he walked towards the pile of medicinal herbs, as there was still a lot that had not been processed.

After dealing with a few of them, he saw Zhuge Qing still sitting there stupidly, "Hey, Zhuge Qing, come over and help!"

Zhuge Qing: "..."

So Zhuge Qing called other members to help, and even Liu Wukui was not spared...

In the following months, Murong Ji was busy almost non-stop. First he was dealing with the issue of elixirs, then he was observing various genetic research.

Murong Ji was still in the learning stage. Only after he developed the gene for "Staring" at Russo's beyond-visual-range sniping did he come to his senses.

In the past few months, he has been madly absorbing genetic knowledge.

As a reward, Murong Ji gave Russo an eye, using a magical artificial eye made based on Ma Xianhong's ghost eye to make up for the defect of Russo's other eye.

Finally, Murong Ji asked Zhao Fangxu about Russo's whereabouts. He said that he was assigned to the military and became a sniper instructor.

Things were done bit by bit, and Qu Tong's side was also nearing completion. The subsequent arrangement was that the company would send new personnel to take up the position.

With his free time, Murong Ji began to process the Nasen sacred tree. He put it into the furnace to smelt it, watching it turn into liquid little by little and then be melted into pure energy.

Murong Ji took out a branch, chuckled, and was about to throw it into the fire.

The next moment, the palm-sized branch suddenly grew wildly. Murong Ji raised his eyebrows, took out the Heaven-Flipping Seal, suppressed its spirituality, and threw it into the fire.

After it was completely transformed into liquid medicine, and other ingredients were added, and it was melted and refined into pills, and no other problems occurred, Murong Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the results of King Nathan's handling came.

The company taught the mother and daughter survival skills, handled their household registration, and helped them survive in the current world. Not long after, they were taken away by the Lu family.

The Lu family gave them a livelihood and taught them how to cultivate Qi, which was like labeling them as members of the Lu family.

Murong Ji was relieved. This ending was quite good. At the same time, Murong Ji also admired the Lu family's magnanimity.

What gives him the most headache is Elena, this Nathanwei. No one knows what she is thinking, but she insists on staying by his side. Now she has become his secretary in the company. No one knows why, and Zhao Fangxu and others are also fanning the flames.

It wasn't until Qu Tong placed a copy of Elena's information in front of him that Murong Ji finally understood.

Elena Feng is her full name.

As a lady from an ancient noble family, her origin is similar to that of Wang Zhenqiu, both of them are from an extremely ancient world noble family.

Murong Ji frowned slightly. Were Zhao Fangxu and others telling him that he was being targeted?
It doesn’t matter. With his current strength, he can take many things lightly.

The realm of Shangqing is within reach. For him, cultivation is the first priority. Making up for one's own accumulation and foundation is the most important thing.

After coming to his senses, Murong Ji continued to work hard to digest the harvest from Nasen Island. Holy light, runes, Luna, alchemy, magic, etc.

"Qu Tong."

"Hmm?" Qu Tong raised her head and looked at Murong Ji with some doubts, and then she heard him say: "I will give you a capable subordinate."

Murong Ji took out a swallowing sac and handed it over.

Qu Tong took it suspiciously, looked inside, and her heart skipped a beat, "This is... the genius from the Jade Academy... the master of black magic..."

Murong Ji nodded, and then handed over a piece of paper. It contained a simple method for refining a magical weapon that combined modern firearms and Qi refining...

Qu Tong looked at Murong Ji blankly, "Husband...what do you want to do?!"

"Don't think too much about it. Just keep it and treat it as a treasure."

As soon as the words fell, Murong Ji was stunned. This memory... was Ruan Feng's, "Wu Gensheng, is not dead yet?!"

Murong Ji's face was a little solemn. When they asked the ancestor for the second time, Wu Gensheng was the last one to leave. After the Eight Wonders appeared in the world, the alien world was in chaos, and Wu Gensheng contacted him...

"Huh?!" Murong Ji chuckled, exhaled slowly, and murmured, "So that's it, isn't it?"

Murong Ji let out a long breath, came back to his senses, and continued to organize the things in his hands.

A few days later, Zhao Shuyu called and said that Lu Linglong had recovered.

This finally brought Murong Ji out of his 'crazy study' state. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "I understand. I'll be there in a minute."

Then he stood up, washed, changed clothes, and drove to the bunker. When he saw Lu Linglong, the girl was no longer as lively as before. She sat blankly on the bed, and the room was dark and gloomy behind the curtains.

"What's wrong? Have you been depressed these past few months?" Murong Ji turned on the light, walked forward and opened the curtains.

The sunlight shining on Lu Linglong's face was still a little dazzling, so she subconsciously raised her hand to block the sunlight. She pursed her lips but said nothing.

"Let's go, what are you still standing there for?"

Lu Linglong lowered her head and followed Murong Ji very obediently, but her listless look surprised Murong Ji a little.

Turning around, he asked, "Are you...really depressed? You can't accept the way you look..."

"No..." Lu Linglong finally spoke.

Murong Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go."

After sending Lu Linglong out of the bunker, Qu Tong brought her home. She had already prepared the meal, and after they had a meal, they arranged for Lu Linglong to rest.

The next morning, Murong Ji took her back to Baiyun Temple.

In the car, Murong Ji glanced at Lu Linglong in the rearview mirror. The girl was still unhappy.

Murong Ji was too lazy to pay attention to her. This girl could not be bullied and no one dared to bully her.

Lu Linglong, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked at Murong Ji in the rearview mirror in a daze. Unconsciously, she thought of the time when Qu Tong came to see her when she was in the bunker.

Lu Linglong had just finished exercising and walked back to the room covered in sweat.

"I'm going to go back and take a shower first, wait for me~"

Turning the corner of the corridor, Lu Linglong was startled. Qu Tong was standing in front of her door, texting someone with his head down.

"Sister Qu? Why are you here?" Lu Linglong walked forward with a guilty conscience and took a few steps, wondering why she felt guilty.

After adjusting his mentality, he walked up to her calmly and said, "You're back? Shall we talk?"

Lu Linglong opened the bedroom door and invited Qu Tong in. "Sister Qu, you go ahead and do it. I'll go wash up. It will be quick."

Qu Tong looked around Lu Linglong's room casually. After all, she was a girl from a big family, so her living habits were much better than many people.

She walked to the bathroom door and suddenly pushed it open. "Ha!" Lu Linglong was a little panicked and confused. She covered herself up and looked at Qu Tong at the door angrily.

"Haha, you have a nice figure." Qu Tong folded his arms and stood at the bathroom door, looking at her to his heart's content.

"Sister Qu, what are you going to do?" Lu Linglong stood under the shower head with a blushing face. The water flowed over her delicate skin, and the looming scenery made her look even more delicate and lovely.

"You and I are both women, what else can we do? Are you so shy, little girl?" Qu Tong smiled and motioned Lu Linglong to continue washing.

After waiting for a while, he saw that she didn't move, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed? Let's take a shower together?"

"what??"

Then, Qu Tong walked in naked...

What surprised Lu Linglong the most was that the pair of huge hammers almost blocked her vision.

Coming back to her senses, Lu Linglong looked at her Wangzai buns and felt like crying but had no tears... [How could a human grow that big? It must have been done with his hands!]

She understood that Qu Tong was here to warn her that she could covet it but could not lay her hands on it.

Entered Baiyun Temple.

So he sent Lu Linglong to find her master chef. This time, he wanted the old man to see her.

Murong Ji looked at the courtyard gate, feeling somewhat helpless. Life and death were serious matters. The more they saw each other, the less they saw each other. Nowadays, there were very few old people who could still fight. The old Taoist priest had begun to...

In the next few days, after Murong Ji was ready, he began to refine the elixir.

Hearing that Murong Ji was going to start refining pills, Gao Erzhuang immediately contacted Director Zhao and set up monitoring equipment in Murong Ji's alchemy room. She wanted to supervise it personally...

Murong Ji glanced at Gao Erzhuang who was standing beside the alchemy furnace. In his spiritual state, the burning of the Samadhi True Fire was not pleasant.

Not to mention other things, even if a skilled Qi cultivator stood next to his alchemy furnace at this moment, he would be able to burn half of his life.

With his current level of cultivation, he has the confidence to fight against the old Taoist priest just by relying on the Samadhi True Fire.

[I am so helpless, is this a risk-taking? ]

Murong Ji looked at Gao Erzhuang with some disdain. Once things passed through his hands, even the Jade Emperor would be skinned alive. There were too many ways for him to do that.

Murong Ji took out the Juxian Banner and covered Gao Erzhuang directly to make her feel better. After all, she was half his apprentice.
