Chapter 60
These days, apart from wealthy merchants and government officials, ordinary families are too stingy to use much oil or salt in their cooking. Since her crispy fried gardenia flowers used up so much oil and salt, selling them too cheaply would not even cover her costs.
Chip implantation and knowledge transfer technology are tropes that frequently appear in science fiction works, with knowledge transfer technology being particularly celebrated.
Their next destination was a psychiatric hospital controlled by Vought. On the surface, it was a global health research institute housing the mentally ill, but in reality, it was a place where they used nearby residents and vagrants for experiments.
To achieve a sufficiently surprising and shocking effect, she had to do this. Besides, the design of Full Spring Pavilion was far too outdated; this one-month window was the perfect opportunity to remodel it into the style she loved.
Mu Taotao suppressed the anger in her heart and offered a smiling expression of gratitude. Although she desperately wanted to rush over right now and demand to know why Xu Yao was spending money so lavishly, this was the Azure Sky Tower, and as someone belonging to the Azure Sky Tower, she absolutely could not do such a thing.
Possessing more than one peculiar bloodline—the Holy Blood, the Tyrant Blood, the Phoenix Blood, the Dragon Blood, and the Qilin Blood—these various bloodlines tempered a formidable physical body.
Furthermore, Xu Tailang had already given her a reason that sounded somewhat "reasonable."
Yang Jiunian was holding the recently purchased milk tea with both hands, looking somewhat dazed as she glanced around, likely because it was her first time visiting such a venue. Gan Baohan, on the other hand, was quite lively, pointing and commenting on the athletes on the court from time to time.
A Second-Heaven Quasi-Emperor, wielding a Supreme Emperor Weapon, accompanied by Quasi-Emperor remains and bolstered by a Supreme array formation.
Whenever he recalled the scene of Jia Chen holding a severed head and approaching him like an incarnation of the god of slaughter, his heart would crawl with dread, filled with terror, anxiety, and an unquenchable sea of hatred.
With only the final tribulation lightning remaining, Lin Qingyu felt the tribulation clouds in the sky grow increasingly heavy and oppressive. The heavens and earth turned dim and dark; even though he had been prepared for a long time, a trace of gloom inevitably surfaced in his heart.
Lin Qingyu pondered to himself that if this truly were an ancient cultivator's grotto-heaven, it would certainly be worth his while to make the trip.
"This..." Although Zhou Geng possessed decent cultivation, he utterly lacked experience in treating esoteric practitioners. After bustling about clumsily for a few moments, he actually caused Zhou Geng to vomit a few more mouthfuls of blood. The situation became even more precarious, his breathing deteriorating from faint to as thin as a gossamer thread.
Old Xiao was immersed in this wonderful perspective, introspecting upon himself, the heavens and earth, and everything in existence. Finally, he attained a perception of self-fulfillment and comprehended the Dao.
Had he not utilized the energy shockwave generated by his breakthrough along with the brain-domain development energy supported by the system, how could he have accessed the spiritual space at such an early stage? One must know that ordinary cultivators required the powerful cultivation of their elders or top-tier technology to achieve this feat.
Yue Xiwang was utterly helpless. Looking at Luo Qing hugging him, he felt that only Cao Wei could handle her now, so he got into the car with Luo Qing and set off for the Fortune Shop.
Old Xiao found the dragon pearl inside the earthen dragon's belly, cleared away the thick layer of malicious bugs covering it, and finally, the entire dragon pearl radiated a dazzling brilliance.
"Your language is very beautiful, but a bit complicated. It took me a few minutes to learn it, but I like it very much," a rough voice rang out.
After promoting the two to captain and first mate of the fleet, he entered the pilot house and began arranging the fishing tasks for the next few days.
Shi Hao left behind ten thousand crystal coins and handed all the remaining money to Wan Guoyong, asking him to help turn it over to the treasury while he himself planned his next steps.
"Be honest and don't offend this fellow, or you'll be asking for trouble!" Yi Yang muttered to himself.
Along the way, seeing that Liu Yunwei had an unkind expression and remained silent, Lu Ying and the others had no idea what had happened and asked Zhao Kaishan, who was sharing a boat with Liu Yunwei.
Liu Ting saw that the day was still young, so he did not enter the city. Instead, he led his group of officers directly to Liu Yunwei's military camp outside the city.
Everyone changed into plain clothes and went upstairs. Seeing that the Wolf God had come up as well, the Fox God could not help feeling a bit surprised. Back at Ding Garden, the brothers had asked him to accompany the mother and son and excused him from patrols, but he refused no matter what. They told him to go home for a family reunion that night, yet here he was again, and Jiang Zhuofang also felt rather apologetic.
Hearing this, Liu Yunwei's mood inevitably grew somewhat depressed, and the others also sighed one after another. The atmosphere in the tent turned heavy for a moment.
This slap was delivered with Tina's full strength, sending Alessandra crashing directly to the ground as her face instantly turned red and swollen.
"Hmph, just you wait," Fang Qoqun snorted, turning to walk away. Suddenly thinking of something, she abruptly spun back, kissed Lin Yu on the cheek, and then vanished from sight once more.
"Loving you through life and death alone—whoever dares to marry you, I will kill them, even if I must slaughter the entire world..." he murmured once more, though this time his tone was fiercely sharp, resembling a drawn sword.
"Could this be the treasure that caused the great upheaval in the ancient battlefield? Brother Li, Brother Wu, do you recognize what kind of flame this is?" Xiao Yijun asked.
Not long after, Yang Guozhong received a report from the scouts stating that two large armies had been spotted on the flank of the main force, advancing toward Juyong Pass.
At this moment, the City Lord's Seal was suffused with black, making it completely impossible to distinguish directions. The ancient pagoda that had previously been clearly visible was now nowhere to be seen, leaving Ye Shaochen with no choice but to repeatedly call out the name of Master Xinyu.
