Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 196 Pre-made Disciple-Grandson?

"Qingfeng? And who is this young lady?"

In the long silence, Lü Gu's sudden remark made the two people standing opposite each other at the low table even more awkward.

Li Qingfeng, who had always acted fearless, once again lowered his head timidly after being down the mountain for so long.

It felt as if I had returned to the small Taoist temple on the mountain, back to the boy who followed his master around, learning this and that.

Seeing his performance, Lü Gu, whose expression held a hint of mockery, also revealed a satisfied smile.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng was still wearing the plain-colored Taoist robe that he had created using his authority.

He was frozen in a slightly bowed position with his hands in a gesture of respect to his teacher; just by looking at his expression, you could tell how conflicted he was.

Seeing the changes in the other person's expression, and that he couldn't utter a single word for a long time, Lü Gu smiled and tilted his head slightly.

I turned my gaze to the little girl who was a head shorter than him.

She wore no makeup, her features were delicate and petite, her eyes were bright and clear, and her long, ink-black hair was casually tied back.

Right now, she was nervously fidgeting with her cuffs, secretly glancing at Li Qingfeng beside her. He did indeed look obedient and adorable.

Clearly, this was Lu Xiaoxue, whom I had met a few times before.

At this moment, she was still wearing a hospital gown, but her complexion was rosy and she was full of energy, clearly in excellent health.

All I can say is that, for Lü Gu at this point...

Whether it's teleporting anyone with Minecraft items or templates to your location.

Whether it's restoring someone who's critically ill to health instantly, it's all just a matter of waving a hand.

As the modules are loaded one by one, Lü Gu can now conjure soldiers from beans, revive the dead and heal the wounded, reverse yin and yang, and transform into anything invisibly.

Even the ends of the earth are but a stone's throw away, reaching the highest heavens and the deepest hell are all just a thought away.

Even getting here involves going up and down high places, and with the change in perspective and ability, I have a different kind of feeling.

He didn't know what would happen if an ordinary person suddenly gained godlike abilities.

But what Lü Gu feels most deeply now is freedom.

Freedom of form, freedom of destiny, freedom of heaven and earth.

The only thing that affects one's mindset is the points required to purchase modules.

But in reality, whether it's creating heaven, hell, the underworld, or the mythical heavenly court, it's all the same.

Ultimately, in Lü Gu's eyes now, it's nothing more than a game.

To achieve a desired ending in the game, or to obtain a reward that requires accumulation.

A form of mental entertainment, a pursuit of stage-based achievements, and a curiosity to explore various modules.

Will the boss of Twilight possess intelligence? After all, the villagers have clearly demonstrated the ability to think.

What effects would a magical artifact have in the real world?
What a spectacular scene it would be if various fantastical and bizarre dimensions collided with reality?

He had already witnessed the desolate beauty of the End and the crimson darkness of the Underworld.

Therefore, he wanted to witness more.

If people are interested in exploring, he wouldn't mind witnessing some epic scenes.

Together with millions of people, we will witness countless extraordinary things beyond our imagination.

With the revival of spiritual energy, this unprecedented new-era tour offers a unique perspective, and he doesn't mind leaving seats for others.

With his previous life's tedious and monotonous experiences as a foundation, what Lü Gu wants to do most now is to give up.

Enjoy the scenery, appreciate the precious beauty, and strive for happiness and contentment in everything you do.

Thinking this, Lü Gu glanced at the increasingly awkward two people in front of him and revealed a pleased smile.

He rummaged in his wide sleeves and pulled out a bundle of golden, palm-sized ears of wheat, his gaze inexplicably sweeping back and forth between the two people in front of him.

However, both of them kept their heads down, each preoccupied with their own nervousness, and neither noticed what was happening.

In this silent atmosphere, the bored Lü Gu began to think.

According to the game's overpowered biological reproduction rules, if I give each of these two a share of wheat, will I suddenly have an extra grand-disciple?
As his thoughts wandered, just as Lü Gu's gaze grew increasingly dangerous and he was about to put his ideas into practice...

Finally, Li Qingfeng, whose face was flushed red from holding back, made a move.

"Plop——!"

A series of dull thuds came from the knees hitting the floor, and Li Qingfeng actually knelt down directly in front of Lü Gu behind the table.

This sudden action stunned the other two people present.

"Disciple knows his mistake, please punish him, Master!!"

A familiar shout finally awakened the hidden memories in Lü Gu's heart.

It's been so long since I've seen him; I almost forgot about my apprentice's tendency to get excited so easily.

After realizing what had happened, he raised his hand and picked up the wheat that had fallen onto the table.

He raised his hand to clear his throat and prepared to say a few words as he usually does.

However, before he could even get into the right mood...

"Plop——!"

"I...it was my fault! Punish me if you must, Immortal!!"

A clear female voice rang out, and Lü Gu looked up in surprise.

Then they saw Lu Xiaoxue, who had been standing to the side with a flushed face, suddenly kneel down on the pavilion floor, just like Lu Xiaoxue.

At this moment, looking nervous, he imitated Li Qingfeng beside him, making an awkward gesture and raising it above his head.

After a quick thought, Lü Gu understood what was going on, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

However, seeing their unusually tense expressions, they abandoned their playful intentions.

After all, he never intended to punish the two of them in the first place. He just asked that question purely to tease his little apprentice whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

However, it was somewhat unexpected that the little girl looked so nervous.

Lu Gu felt that it might be related to the fact that he had directly waved his hand to teleport the other person from the hospital and then healed him with another wave of his hand.

It's likely that some strange image has been formed in the little girl's mind.

Lu Gu didn't pay much attention to this unexpected situation and simply waved his hand.

"Alright, get up. I didn't say I was going to punish you."

The gentle voice fell silent.

Before the two could react, they felt an invisible force take over their bodies, and their kneeling legs slowly straightened uncontrollably.

When the two men's tense expressions turned to astonishment, they saw the elegant Taoist sitting behind the table with a slight smile on his lips, nodding slightly in their direction.

"Don't stand there, come and sit down."

Although the scene of his body not obeying his commands was shocking, Li Qingfeng, who was familiar with his master's power, was the first to accept it.

He walked directly to the cushion in front of the low table and obediently sat down.

Seeing him move, Lu Xiaoxue, who was still in a daze, quickly ran to catch up, found the closest seat, and sat down obediently side by side.

"Master, let me pour you some tea!"

As soon as he sat down, Li Qingfeng noticed with his sharp eyes that his master's teacup was empty.

He quickly picked up the teapot that had been brewed and poured another cup, then respectfully handed it over with both hands.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxue, who was standing to the side with her head down and looking very cautious, suddenly widened her eyes.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone so extremely humble.

In the Special Bureau, whether it's casual conversations among colleagues or glimpses of what they once saw from afar.

Li Qingfeng had always been portrayed as a serious and decisive master who didn't care about external things, so it was really unexpected that he had this side to him.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng ignored the surprised looks around him.

Instead, a smile appeared on his face only after he saw his master accept the teacup and nod with a smile. Then, his gaze lingered briefly on the golden ears of wheat in his master's hand.

However, the next moment, his gaze was focused on the small wooden box placed next to the low table, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but hesitated.

Lu Gu, who now routinely has several buffs worth thousands of levels, naturally noticed his little apprentice's gaze.

After taking a sip of tea, he smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"I have received your gifts. They are very thoughtful and I appreciate them very much."

The latter part of his speech was directed at Li Qingfeng, and in this way, he made it clear that the gift was prepared jointly by the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng immediately understood the implication and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Xiaoxue, who was beside him, also gradually relaxed.

He discovered that the white-haired Taoist priest in front of him, who looked ethereal and otherworldly like an immortal, was not as serious and aloof as he had initially imagined.

He gradually became bolder.

Instead of keeping his eyes fixed on the table, he cautiously looked at the master in front of him, whom he had only heard of but never met.

Lu Gu didn't pay attention to the girl's gaze, and before Li Qingfeng could hesitate and open his mouth to say something, he spoke first.

"You did nothing wrong, so why should I punish you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng, who hadn't yet voiced his dilemma, blinked in surprise.

However, considering his master's power, he quickly accepted the fact that his thoughts could be seen through.

He frowned again, his eyes downcast and somewhat dejected.

"But I remember what Master warned me before I left the mountain... I didn't do any of it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Gu understood why his little apprentice had turned from joy to worry the moment he regained consciousness.

Thinking back to the nonsense I had uttered back then, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how honest my apprentice was.

But there's nothing we can do; we have to fill the hole we dug ourselves.

Seeing that the two of them looked somewhat uneasy, Lü Gu tapped the table lightly to draw their attention back to him.

He then cleared his throat and spoke in a detached and otherworldly tone.

"When I taught you to think thrice before you act, it was to tell you to consider things before and after you act, and not to make decisions without thinking them through, so as to avoid regretting them later."

"The refinement of the heart in the mortal world is a process of refinement, not escape. The true pursuit of the Tao is to maintain one's heart toward the Tao even after experiencing countless trials, rather than being stagnant and abandoning everything..."

At this point in the conversation, Lü Gu glanced at the two people whose expressions were gradually falling into deep thought or confusion, and then changed the subject.

"...Furthermore, I have never said that our sect forbids marriage, so why hesitate?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng, who had been frowning and lost in thought as if he had grasped some profound truth about life, suddenly sat up straight.

Looking at his master, who still wore a calm and gentle smile, he seemed to see a different meaning in that handsome and extraordinary immortal face.

However, this strange feeling was quickly dispelled by her rapidly flushed face.

Looking into his master's eyes, Li Qingfeng immediately understood what was going on.

Oh no! He can read minds!
Once this was clear, facing Lü Gu's smiling expression only made her more at a loss.

"Master has misunderstood me! I wasn't thinking about any of those things; I only wanted to return to the sect after completing my cultivation to continue accompanying the old master..."

"Then let's return to the temple together this time and cultivate for another ten years, how about that?"

Upon hearing Lu Gu's words, Li Qingfeng's hasty explanation came to an abrupt halt.

Looking at his young apprentice, whose face was flushed and who didn't know where to put his hands, Lü Gu put down his teacup and met his gaze with deep eyes.

"Have you seen it clearly? Your own true nature."

The voice was soft and gentle, but to Li Qingfeng at that moment, it resonated in his mind like a great bell.

It took him a long time to recover, and his expression changed from panic or hesitation to solemnity.

He immediately bowed to Lü Gu, bowing once more.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I have already understood!"

Seeing this, Lü Gu nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, it's good that you were able to wake up in time and not fall into a daze."

As he spoke, Lü Gu turned to look at Lu Xiaoxue, who hadn't said a word, and smiled.

He swiped his hand across the table in front of him, and instantly, a row of strange objects appeared on the table.

After doing all this, he met the curious gazes of the two people opposite him and began to explain again.

"Preparing this gift must have taken a lot of effort. As Li Qingfeng's master, I naturally can't be too stingy."

"Take any of these items and see if you find anything you like. Consider it a small gift from me to you."

"...Me...me? Ah...thank you, thank you for the treasure bestowed upon me by the immortals..."

Lu Xiaoxue was stunned and surprised by this sudden turn of events, her mouth slightly agape, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Looking at Li Qingfeng beside him, and seeing him nod slightly, he composed himself and glanced at the row of items on the table.

At the very top of the list was a small bundle of golden, plump wheat, the same one that had just been seen in the immortal's hands.

In addition, there was a small handful of seeds, a fish, a piece of brown bread, and finally a finger-length, orange-red carrot-like thing.

Lu Xiaoxue recognized this; in the bureau's files, it was called Dragon Blood Ginseng, a very precious and rare treasure.

Based on this, she speculated that what was laid out in front of her were probably all kinds of rare and precious treasures.

…Although I was a little puzzled by the bread-like thing, I figured it was probably just a resemblance in appearance.

For a moment, Lu Xiaoxue was caught in a dilemma.

Would it be bad if I chose something too precious?
But if we choose something precious for Brother Qingfeng, wouldn't it greatly help his cultivation?
But wouldn't that make me seem too greedy and leave a bad impression later...?

And it was during this time of inner turmoil that she found herself in a dilemma.

Sitting behind the table, Lü Gu maintained a calm smile on his face, but inwardly he was gradually becoming excited.

He stared intently at the expressions of the two people across the table, trying to see which food they would react to in a particular way.

In the game, various breeding creatures will follow you when they see their designated food.

This is a technique that many people use to lure animals back to the pasture when they are not tethered.

I stared at it for a while, and although the little girl's eyes were sparkling and she looked like she was overwhelmed by the choices, I watched for quite a while.

But clearly, this expression wasn't due to the appeal of the food.

Li Qingfeng, standing to the side, remained completely calm.

After the recent counseling, it seems that I have once again achieved a state of mind advancement, and there is no sign of restlessness at all.

Thus, Lü Gu's excitement gradually subsided.

It's not that I really wanted to stuff a mouthful into each of their mouths and then create a grand-disciple on the spot, but the clash between reality and game settings is indeed quite interesting.

We only took out one of each, because we were afraid that there might be some irresistible attraction and something bad might happen if the two of us each ate one.

But to my surprise, none of the foods in the original recipe had any effect.

Initially, it was discovered that real-world humans could interact with certain features of the game.

Lu Gu thought that the person had been identified as some kind of creature generated from the original version.

However, after this investigation, it seems that this is not the case; it's just another example of the game module's unreasonable adaptability.

To truly achieve the original effect of food reproduction, it would probably require each person to have a corresponding creature template installed.

However, this kind of experiment…

Lu Gu thought he could take some time to go to hell and randomly select two "lucky audience members" so that he wouldn't have to harm his apprentice and his wife.

Pre-arranged grandchildren, I think there shouldn't be any generational closeness...
