Li Chenggong laughed, "If it were not for Benefactor Jiang and a few others risking their lives to save , I might not be in this world today!"
He was obviously reluctant to dwell on the past and imdiately changed the subject, "However, Master Xingyi's Feng Shui abilities are indeed unquestionable, so I invited him here to check the Feng Shui. He should be arriving this afternoon."
Xu Hao smiled, "That's very good. Having Master Xingyi take a look will also help us find a good location for the film and television base, making us all feel at ease."
"Haha! Xu Xiao You understands my thoughts; that's the best. I was worried Xu Xiao You might think I'm too superstitious," Li Chenggong laughed heartily.
Xu Hao shook his head slightly, "How could that be, Huaya Culture is profound and intricate; there are many things that we modern people have not thoroughly explored, and it is absolutely wrong to flatly deny the things our ancestors left us."
"Haha! Well said! Indeed, clear as daylight! Today at noon, we shall mooch food and drinks here at Xu Xiao You's place," he exclaid.
Li Chenggong was clearly in a good mood. Li Lingniu's illness had significantly improved, he had settled a business deal, and he had also t the granddaughter of a past benefactor. He said to Jiang Xuezhun, "I wonder if Benefactor Jiang could co here to gather? Otherwise, I could visit them another day."
Jiang Xuezhun shook her head, "If you had co a few days earlier, my grandfather and Grandpa Chen would have been available, but just a few days ago, they disappeared, apparently on a mission."
A look of surprise crossed Li Chenggong's eyes, followed by a saddened tone, "Well then, it seems we can only wait for them to be free to gather again. After so many years, I haven't seen them again…"
As he spoke, he beca misty-eyed and lost in mories.
Seeing this, Xu Hao imdiately signaled Anna and Jiang Xuezhun not to speak loudly, while he went to instruct the housemaid to prepare the al.

Lady Li gave a wry smile; after all, Li Chenggong was getting on in years, and sotis he couldn't help but beco lost in thought.
It was a long while before Li Chenggong snapped back to reality, and by that ti, the food had already begun to be served on the table.
Seeing that he was awake, Xu Hao smiled, "Elder Master Li, it's almost ti to eat."
Li Chenggong's face turned red as he said, "I never imagined I would beco lost in thought while at Xu Xiao You's place. Xu Xiao You, what's happening to , is there a treatnt?"
Xu Hao laughed, "It's normal for elderly people to get distracted, but I suggest you rest more often and try to delegate company matters to trusted subordinates, and think less about stuff. You'll naturally improve. This is simply a normal phenonon associated with aging, unless there is a miraculous elixir that could make you fifty years younger—that would be a real cure."
"Where is there any miraculous elixir! Nowadays, even if I could miraculously extend my life by one year, I would be very content," Li Chenggong shook his head with a sigh.
It's rare for people to reach the age of seventy, and at seventy, one can do as they please within the bounds of reason, which also signifies that there is not much ti left in his life.
Suddenly, Lady Li asked, "Xu Xiao You, do you have any Cultivation Techniques that can help people live longer? We're willing to pay any amount!"
Xu Hao shook his head, "Elder Master Li is advanced in years; even if there were Cultivation Techniques, it would be nearly impossible to learn them now. The Internal Heart thod seeks to break through blockages in the Extraordinary ridians, connecting the body's ridians together, thereby releasing powerful energy. Elder Master Li's ridians have long been rigid. If he rashly tries to break through the ridians, not only is success highly unlikely, it could even lead to ridian damage or rupture, resulting in paralysis of the entire body!
Moreover, even if successful, the improvent would be extrely limited, a year and a half is the limit. So, weighing the pros and cons, almost no one is willing to try."
Li Chenggong nodded slightly, "Xu Xiao You makes a lot of sense, I asked Master Xing Yi before, and he told the sa thing."
"Sigh," Lady Li sighed and fell silent.
Suddenly, Xu Hao said, "Actually, life extension is not impossible. Elder Master Li, have you ever heard of Defying Heaven Nine Needles?"
"Defying... Defying Heaven Nine Needles?!"
Li Chenggong suddenly cried out in shock, "I've heard Master Xingyi ntion it. He said that Defying Heaven Nine Needles is incredibly miraculous, with the power to bring the dead back to life! I wonder if the Defying Heaven Nine Needles Xu Xiao You ntioned is the sa one Master Xingyi talked about?"
"Bring the dead back to life? Impossible, right?" Lady Li couldn't help but interject, "It's just acupuncture, isn't it? How can acupuncture bring soone back to life?"
Xu Hao laughed, "Defying Heaven Nine Needles: one needle brings life, Dual Needle Death, Three Needle Flesh and Bones, Four-Needle Marrow Cleansing, Five Needle Dan Formation, Six is Divine, Seven is Immortal, Eight achieves Sainthood, Nine can defy the heavens! It's said so; I don't know the truth, nor am I clear on the specific effects of the fifth needle onwards. But I do know that the fourth needle, Marrow Cleansing, can definitely improve a person's constitution and extend their life."
"Xu Xiao You and Master Xingyi describe it in the exact sa way!" Li Chenggong instantly believed every word Xu Hao said, as it was precisely what Master Xingyi had told him.
