People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 374 A Place of Peace of Mind
"I wonder if, in the end, the enemy and the Great Ruins will both be severely weakened, and then I'll finish them off while they're on the verge of death..."

For a moment, such a thought popped into Li Qi's mind, but then he felt that his idea was very unrealistic.

Afterwards, Li Qi did not immediately start fighting monsters, but instead went to the cross-section of the biohazard dungeon Ruins of Light and looked at the light and shadow on the other side.

The light and shadow shifted, revealing a steel body soaring through the air, intertwined with light and fire. Even through the shimmering light, Li Qi could still sense the aura of iron and fire.

At the same time, his senses told him that he still couldn't pass the judgment of the will of the Void Light.

However, that makes sense. The Ruins of Light in the Heroes' Dungeon is a special case. Under normal circumstances, traversing the world fragments is not that simple.

After gazing into the distance for about two minutes, Li Qi continued to fight monsters, killing four white and one blue monster in a row. This time, perhaps due to the shrinking of the creep, the Mother of Wisdom reacted even faster. Although Li Qi was much stronger than before, he was still instantly killed.

Several more days passed, and Li Qi began to practice his sword skills and run dungeons steadily, managing to kill at least five monsters almost every day. However, he still hadn't obtained the Life Scroll or Miracle Fragments.

Li Qi had some doubts. Was it because the psionic civilization had developed too powerfully, to the point that these strange desires were insufficient, not persistent enough, not resentful enough...?

In the blink of an eye, in the biohazard dungeon, the ten white monsters, each respawning six times, and the five blue monsters, each respawning three times, had all been cleared by Li Qi. From the seventy-five treasure chests, Li Qi obtained 223 gene fragments, plus a basic spiritual energy book, a blueprint, and a massive amount of experience points.

But despite having so many treasure chests, there wasn't a single Life Scroll among them.

However, the massive amount of experience points allowed Li Qi to continuously light up the nodes in the evolution chart, and his body of tribulation seal steadily became stronger. However, this kind of additive strengthening was still not as good as multiplicative strengthening, and it was still a bit lacking.

Because it was the weekend, Li Qi didn't go out after finishing his training. Instead, he lay on the sofa and browsed various documents and papers on his phone.

Unlike before when he searched for information everywhere online, some time ago he used 10,000 merit points to exchange for a high-level account at the National Library of China, which allowed him to browse various materials with relatively low security levels.

In this era, knowledge seems to be readily available, but in reality, anything that involves depth is extremely difficult to find.

As for the most cutting-edge knowledge, it will only be possible for Li Qi to acquire it if he becomes a saint or a core member of an important team in the future. Some knowledge is priceless.

This went on until nine o'clock in the morning. Since it was the weekend, my parents were still sleeping in. It was at this time that the doorbell rang.

When Li Qi opened the door, standing there was none other than Li Tianxing.

"You are content in your humble abode, your heart and will... you are not like someone your age. Many people only see that material things and extravagance are nothing but illusions when they are in their thirties or forties, but you see them clearly now."

After entering the room, Li Tianxing glanced at the layout and sighed.

In fact, although the walls of Li Qi's house were a bit old, it was by no means a humble abode. However, in Li Tianxing's opinion, given Li Qi's current situation, a mansion or villa should be the most basic requirement.

Who would have thought that a dragon could be hidden in this old, dilapidated neighborhood?!
This was Li Tianxing's first visit to Li Qi's home.

In fact, although he knew a lot about Li Qi, he hadn't really paid attention to where Li Qi usually lived.

"The meaning of a house is nothing more than a place where one can find peace of mind. If one feels at peace, then even the sky as a blanket and the earth as a mat is enough to bring contentment. If one feels uneasy, then even a grand mansion is an illusion!" Li Qi led Li Tianxing to the sofa. He did not usually drink tea, so he did not make tea to entertain him.

After saying that, he got straight to the point: "You're so busy with your business, you must have something important to discuss with me. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably about business. I can see that there's a dark aura in your eyes pointing south, which means there must be some problems with your business."

"And I happen to have the potential to solve this problem, which is why you thought of me!"

"However, you are still a little hesitant. Even though you've come here, you still don't want to trouble me."

"Actually, this is just a small matter. The clan provides me with resources, saving me a lot of trouble. I should also protect the clan from the wind and rain!"

"Um?!"

"This matter actually involves overseas entities, but it has nothing to do with Meteorite. As expected, the overseas entities have been making a lot of moves lately..."

Li Qi spoke slowly and deliberately, but Li Tianxing's expression grew increasingly surprised, because everything Li Qi said was absolutely correct.

Furthermore, Li Qi's words dispelled his anxiety.

After all, given Li Qi's current situation, what are the clan's resources worth?

"Your anxiety stems from the fact that I take too little while bringing too much benefit. My recent rise has caused the Li Group's stock to rise continuously, while my demands seem too small. Therefore, you fear that our relationship will become increasingly distant."

"But how can family inheritance be measured by how much one receives?!"

"Without ancestors, there are no descendants. Furthermore, if the clan is strong, the old and young will have someone to rely on. If the clan collapses and the old and young are left alone, how can we bear to see them suffer?!"

Li Qi continued.

"Actually, your mind has become somewhat skewed by the trials of the business world. You've started to focus solely on profit. But you should know that when the old man first started the family business, it wasn't for the gain or loss of wealth, but to protect the old and young in the clan."

"If you measure affection by self-interest, then affection will naturally fade away."

"If this continues, in a few years, the Li family may very well become a purely business family with constant internal strife and a focus solely on profit. That would not be a good thing."

Li Qi's voice wasn't loud, but it struck Li Tianxing like a thunderclap, instantly causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

However, he was no ordinary person after all. He was only not showing any imposing manner because he was in front of Li Qi. So he quickly composed himself and adjusted his mindset.

Li Tianxing then organized his thoughts: "During this period, the group has developed rapidly, and I had already made arrangements in the south, opened up channels, and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Baiyun Group."

"This Baiyun Group is a secular enterprise of the Baiyun Dao. Although this lineage is not among the thirty-three sects, it now has a Grand Master. Although the Grand Master does not dwelt in the mortal world, with such a person in charge, it is bound to develop rapidly."
