I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 556 One thing brings down another thing

An hour later, in Lijia Village.

The lazy unicorn lay sprawled in front of the irrigation ditch at the village entrance, just as always.

He would only open his eyes reluctantly when two or three children passed by, to make sure they didn't fall into the water.

"You lazy ox, you're slacking off again!"

Without a sound, a bright red lynx appeared and leaped onto the back of the unicorn.

"Hmph, I call this stealing a moment of leisure from my busy schedule, unlike that stray cat that's gone for years at a time..."

With its eyes still slightly narrowed, the unicorn retorted mercilessly.

"If my master hadn't mentioned it so often, I would have thought you died in some remote corner!"

With a snarl and a scratch on the unicorn's claw, Xi Luo cursed in annoyance.

"You damned ox, it's only been a few years and you've already forgotten how powerful I am!"

In the ecological niche of the Hundred Mountains, Xi Luo is undoubtedly above the Unicorn.

No matter the era, whenever the Unicorn saw Xi Luo, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, at most only daring to bicker with her.

This time was no exception; as soon as Xi Luo got tough, he naturally backed down.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Stop scratching, okay? I won't say anything more."

She licked her paws with great satisfaction, and Xi Luo wanted to say something more.

Looking up, he saw a little girl staring blankly at him from a distance.

"Xiao Xi?"

Seeing that the other person looked very familiar, Xi Luo tentatively called out to them.

The next second, Li Xi grinned and ran towards Xi Luo and the Unicorn.

During this process, several clay animals carefully climbed onto Li Xi's shoulder, curiously examining the red lynx he had never seen before.

"Mountain Goddess!"

Until Xi Luo leaped off the back of the unicorn and transformed back into the form of a celestial maiden.

Li Xi then opened her arms wide, looking very happy as if she wanted a hug.

"Haha, I never imagined you'd grown so much!"

Xi Luo picked Li Xi up in her arms, displaying an enthusiasm completely different from before.

"Human children really do grow up so fast. I remember you were only this short when I left..."

After carrying Li Xi and spinning her around a few times, Xi Luo finally noticed the clay animals on his shoulders.

"Your abilities have improved quite quickly."

"Did you come to see me because you 'saw' me return?"

Li Xi nodded obediently; he had indeed foreseen Xi Luo's return in advance through the [Destiny Connection].

"Haha, you're definitely much more sensible than your brother!"

"Come on, I brought you some gifts. See if you like them."

Completely ignoring the sullen-looking unicorn, Xi Luo carried Li Xi and headed towards the village.

As they passed the shrine at the village entrance, the old village chief seemed to notice something and raised his eyelids, but he did not see Xi Luo and Li Xi.

"Grandma Mountain Goddess?"

The old village chief gave a tentative, soft call, but received no reply. He then turned his gaze to the unicorn in the distance.

Upon seeing the claw marks on the unicorn's face, the old village chief suddenly realized and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good thing you're back! Looks like things are going to get interesting these next few days!"

It wasn't until Xi Luo carried Li Xi into Li Family Village that she realized just how earth-shattering the changes had been in the village during the short few years she had been gone.

Needless to say, the main road is clean and tidy.

The entire village has expanded several times over compared to before.

Nowadays, Lijia Village is more like Lijia Town, or even Lijia City, than Lijia Village.

Because Lijia Village now possesses all the conditions to become a town or city, and everything within it has long formed a simple self-sustaining system.

Farmland, businesses, factories, population, education...

Even if cut off from external supplies, Lijia Village can maintain its existence for several years without collapsing thanks to this cycle.

Along the way, Xi Luo saw many new things that she could not see in other parts of the Hundred Mountains.

Is that a bicycle?

Pointing to the two-wheeled vehicles traveling in the two lanes on either side, Xi Luo asked in a slightly surprised voice.

The concept of a "bicycle" was already designed by Li Boyang long before he even began his spiritual practice.

However, at that time, there was not a single regular road in the Hundred Mountains, and coupled with the lack of steel and rubber, Li Boyang was unable to create a real object.

But now, you can see that the bicycles even have a dedicated bike lane.

The main road in the center is for bronze chariots, while bicycle lanes are on both sides.

This complex and aesthetically pleasing plan is clearly the work of Li Boyang.

"Yes, the village roads have been renovated and streetlights have been installed in the last two years..."

"Uncle Chengfeng also went to Gaocun Town to buy some bicycles, which sparked a bicycle craze in the whole village."

"Brother Xiaomu was the first to ride a bicycle..."

"Unfortunately, he was very stingy and never wanted us to touch his precious bicycle."

Despite being very young, Li Xi answered Xi Luo's questions with utmost seriousness.

This adorable scene made Xi Luo laugh again, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other person's little cheek.

"Oh, is our little cutie angry?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll get you one sometime."

Upon hearing Xi Luo's words, Li Xi immediately raised her head with anticipation, and the clay animals on her shoulder also became restless.

"But...I'm too young...I can't ride a bicycle..."

After a brief moment of excitement, Li Xi immediately lowered his head and sighed with regret.

"Don't be like your brother, always sighing at such a young age, or you'll turn into a little old lady."

With a smile, Xi Luo playfully pinched Li Xi's nose and said with obvious affection.

"You may not know this, but this bicycle was designed by your brother. Your unreliable aunt has always wanted to have one since she was a child."

"So you don't need to worry about not being able to ride it. Just ask your brother for one. He has a miniature version of the bicycle."

"I think he called it... a stroller?"

Li Xi's eyes widened immediately, never expecting that the design of this bicycle originated from Li Boyang.

"Your brother is really something, how dare he ignore our little cutie's feelings."

"Next time you want something, just tell him. Don't be afraid he won't agree."

Li Xi blinked cautiously, thinking of her brother who always seemed to be busy, and finally shook her head decisively.

"No, my brother is busy with important matters, I can't disturb him."
