[Second Update] 434: Chapter 431: Striking the Demigod Realm!
[Second Update] “You think you’re the creator, able to make things appear just by saying so?”
Seeing Li Chen’s arrogance, Lu Yaoyao, who had a background in astronomy, couldn’t help but retort.
Li Chen wanted to argue, but then he thought that dostic astrophysics was still in its infancy, and he couldn’t explain it clearly to her.
Besides, this was sothing 165 years into the future.
Not to ntion people of this generation, even the next generation might not be able to witness the destruction of Earth.
His current attitude indeed seed a bit like unnecessary worry.
Seeing that Li Chen didn’t respond, Lu Yaoyao assud he had run out of argunts, and smugly said, “You should watch fewer sci-fi movies in the future; those are just to fool layn like you.”
Li Chen just smiled without a word.
Lu Zhongshan, worried his granddaughter’s blunt words had angered this major financial backer, hurriedly stepped forward with a beaming smile to smooth things over.
“Little friend Li Chen, my granddaughter is quite straightforward, I hope you won’t take it to heart!”
Li Chen waved his hand and said, “I couldn’t care less about arguing with a little girl.”
“Look who’s talking about little girls, you’re not even older than !” As she spoke, Lu Yaoyao intentionally puffed out her chest.
Li Chen glanced over and said, “You should listen less to songs like ‘I Don’t Want to Grow Up’.
They might send misleading signals to certain body parts, making them really not want to grow, which could affect physical developnt!”
Lu Yaoyao was montarily stumped, her universe-exploring brain couldn’t quite make sense of it.
What did songs have to do with physical developnt?”
And what on earth was ‘I Don’t Want to Grow Up’?
Li Chen didn’t bother with her anymore but turned to inquire with Lu Zhongshan about any recent astronomical events like teor showers or lunar eclipses.
Lu Zhongshan thought for a mont and said that in half a month, on the fifteenth of this month, there would be a teor shower visible from Yuhua Mountain.
“Good, I know now.
Please reserve the best viewing spot for when the ti cos, Dean Lu.
Oh, and about the five hundred million funds, I’ve already transferred them to your Astronomy Institute’s account, please check it!”
Hearing that the five hundred million funds had been transferred, Lu Zhongshan was overjoyed, continuously giving thanks and promising to list precisely where the funds went to ensure transparency, swearing not to embezzle a di.
Li Chen simply said, “Do as you wish,” and then turned and left.
Lu Zhongshan had seen big spenders before, but soone like Li Chen, who could drop five hundred million without even blinking, was unprecedented to him.
He started to secretly speculate about the identity of the other party.
In Jiangnan, aristocratic families capable of pulling out half a billion in one go were few, and could be counted on one hand, yet none bore the surna Li.
He was brought by Moo Hee, who was military personnel.
Could he be from the Imperial Capital Li Family?
Pondering this, Lu Zhongshan shivered.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Seeing her grandfather looking sowhat odd, Lu Yaoyao asked in confusion.
Lu Zhongshan shook his head and said, “It’s nothing, Yaoyao.
Since you don’t have anything urgent these days, just help watch the teor shower here!”
“Grandpa, that guy just wants to watch the teor shower, why not just reserve a good spot for him and notify him when the ti cos?”
Lu Yaoyao was clearly reluctant.
Honestly, her first impression of Li Chen was not very good.
She thought he was too daydreamy, simply a wasteful spender.
For so reason, the image of a figure as elegant as a relegated immortal on Heming Mountain unexpectedly ca to mind.
Comparing the two, she looked down on Li Chen, who seed like a re rich second-generation heir, even more.
Ah, both were n, yet why was the difference so big?
…
After leaving the Astronomy Institute, Li Chen didn’t head straight back to school but instead delved deep into the hinterlands of Yuhua Mountain and began to wander.
Previously, his encounters with teorites were always hit-or-miss battles.
A significant amount of energy often burned away in the air friction before he could absorb it.
This ti, he planned an ambush.
Through this teor shower, he intended to absorb as many teorites as possible and break through his bottleneck to ascend to the Demigod Realm.
By then, even if a true God Realm entity erged, he would be able to confront them head-on!
Li Chen looked up at the stars, preparing to align with the Twelve Houses of the Zodiac and use the direction of the Yuhua Mountain range to set up a large Binding Spirit Formation.
By forcibly changing the direction of the teors, he planned to harness them for his own use.
Unbeknownst to him, the dawn had already begun to break in the east.
However, Li Chen’s Binding Spirit Formation was rely in its initial stages.
He hadn’t even finished constructing the most basic frawork.
“The jade has run out, and it looks like there is a significant shortfall.
If only I had a Spirit Crystal, just a palm-sized piece would be enough to support the entire Binding Spirit Formation!”
Li Chen looked at his empty storage ring and sighed softly.
After leaving Yuhua Mountain, he made a phone call to i Ruohua.
“Ruohua, how is the production at the Black Forest Jade Mine?”
i Ruohua, excited by Li Chen’s unexpected call, could hardly contain herself.
“Young Master, everything is going smoothly here.
We expect to be able to transport it to Lingnan next month!”
“Good, I urgently need jade, can you get it to Jiangnan within ten days?”
“Young Master, how much jade do you need?”
Li Chen thought for a mont and then stated a number: “Five hundred catties!”
i Ruohua hesitated for a mont, struggling to answer.
“Young Master, the Black Forest Jade Mine might not have that much jade.
Even if we buy extensively from the surrounding areas, we estimate only about 200–300 catties can be procured!”
“Alright, bring as much as you can.
But rember, it needs to arrive by the 15th of this month, I urgently need it!”
“Okay, Young Master, I understand!”
After finishing the call with i Ruohua, Li Chen also made calls to Qin Tianlong, Du ng, and Long Wuhen, instructing them to spare no expense in purchasing jade from the market and transport it to Jiangnan.
Just shortly after Li Chen’s orders were issued, the Central Continent Yuann Family had already received the news.
Ever since Li Chen defeated Li Lingtian and forcefully ascended to the top of the Heavenly List, the Yuann Family treated him like a thorn in their side, seeing him as their archenemy, always seeking to eliminate him.
But they dreaded Li Chen’s Heavenly-defying Divine Powers and dared not act rashly, always eagerly watching and waiting for a chance to strike a fatal blow.
“Big brother, we just received certain news.
Immortal Master Li is having his n purchase jade on a large scale in the market.
Whether it’s carved jade pieces or raw jade, they are accepting everything!”
Yuann Jinsan reported everything he had learned to his eldest brother.
Yuann Jintian, seated at the head of the table, was puzzled; he couldn’t understand why Immortal Master Li would suddenly buy up jade so frenziedly.
From the current situation, it seed he was not sparing any expense; it didn’t look like a usual business investnt.
“Family Head, jade possesses Spiritual Power.
Immortal Master Li is not only a Martial Artist but also a Cultivator.
In my opinion, his extensive acquisition of jade could likely be an attempt to absorb the Spiritual Power in jade to achieve a breakthrough!”
A high-level Venerated Elder and Magic Master Fengg Yunhai spoke up as a reminder.
Hearing this, Yuann Jintian’s expression drastically changed.
Currently, Immortal Master Li was able to defeat Li Lingtian head-on.
If he were to make another breakthrough, it would beco nearly impossible for even a Divine-level Master to kill him easily.
Considering this, he hardened his resolve and commanded in an angry tone:
“Old Six, take a trip to the Bashu Tang Sect and ask the
Great Grandmaster of Tang Sect’s hidden weapons, Tang Qianqiu, to co out of retirent.
Immortal Master Li killed his son, Thousand Faces Tang Yulang; now is the ti for revenge!”
“Old Three, go to the Miao Territory Ghost Sect and ask Ancestor Yin Ghost to co for a discussion on how to deal with Immortal Master Li.”
“Old Five, send soone to secretly et with Long Wujiang.
See if you can find out more important information.”
“This ti, I refuse to believe in such evil.
We are gathering three Demigod Realm powerhouses; there’s no way we can’t kill Immortal Master Li alone!”
Hearing the commands issued by Yuann Jintian, everyone in the Yuann Family hall was thrilled as if they were injected with an adrenaline boost.
With three Demigod Realm experts joining forces, even a God Realm expert would be severely troubled.
It seems this ti, that Immortal Master Li is definitely dood!
