I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 171 The 23rd of the Winter Month
As soon as his phone lit up, Li Yan saw that Hua Ningxia was calling.

Click to connect, and simultaneously walk towards a secluded spot, asking:

"problem occurs?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, clearly surprised that Li Yan knew, but quickly composed himself and said:

"Yes, the beauty serums you gave me last time, as well as some of our research data, were forcibly taken away."

"what happened?"

"The company has expanded and is currently relocating. In addition, with the R&D base in Huangcheng, the storage location of the beauty serum has been discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

"Today was the day we were transferring the research materials and the beauty serum when a group of people disguised themselves as construction workers and stole them."

Li Yan nodded and tentatively asked, "Black?"

"should be."

"Are you OK?"

"I fell, but I wasn't injured."

The protection triggering criteria set by Li Yan are not so easy to trigger; they are probably not as easy as she claims.

Considering her personality and the chaotic scene, if she were a thug, even if she stood in front of him, she would probably be trampled over.

"The beauty serum is gone, and that's that. Nobody can decipher it. Does anyone know who did it?"

Li Yan asked, explaining that it was a genuine byproduct of elixirs, and that spiritual energy was required to participate in the refining process.

During the development of 77 Company, countless domestic and foreign companies have attempted to purchase and crack the software in large quantities.

We've given him all the sales boost!

As for those research materials, they were all byproducts of the beauty serum.

They mainly mix beauty essence with other ingredients to make various basic versions and some modified versions.

Some of its effects are already indistinguishable from those of regular toner.

Other options include over-the-counter medications for treating acne, such as adapalene.

It's just that it's more effective and doesn't have as many usage requirements or contraindications.

In short, without the beauty serum, those are just a pile of waste paper.

"I don't know, but the company is currently bidding for the construction of an office building, and there's some friction with a real estate developer."

"I'll be there in a bit."

Li Yan said, and hung up the phone.

Qiqi Company had been developing very smoothly, so this kind of trouble must be because the talisman he put up to ward off bad luck and gather good fortune had become ineffective.

After sending a message to his homeroom teacher to ask for leave from evening self-study, Li Yan took out his flying shuttle, took off, and headed towards Jiangcheng.

It's been 16 years, and this kind of thing still exists.

But that's not surprising; darkness doesn't disappear, it just changes into another form and continues to exist.

It's just that it's harder for normal people to see or access.

Upon arriving in Wuhan, the new address of Qiqi Company is located in the Jianghan Road area.

The beauty serum has now gained international popularity. If it weren't for the fact that someone was too lazy and only made one refining furnace, the production would have expanded into a behemoth long ago.

When Li Yan arrived at the company site, he spread his divine sense and could see that there were still police cars parked below, and the office area was a bit messy.

However, the main area is the research area downstairs, which is also used to store the beauty serum.

He invited Hua Ningxia out and scanned her with his divine sense, but found no injuries.

"You're so fast."

"Of course we need to hurry. It's good that Sister Ningxia is alright."

Li Yan smiled and said something, then glanced at her furrowed brows.

"What's wrong? Don't worry about the supply, I'll deliver it to you when I have time."

“No.” Hua Ningxia shook her head and took out her phone. “I just received a call from Shanghai, inviting our company to relocate there.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Send the recording to that guy in Jiangcheng and mention this matter while you're at it."

"I think so too."

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Qiqi Company's potential knows it, so Li Yan doesn't need to elaborate.

"Do you remember what those people looked like? Are there any nearby security cameras?"

Hua Ningxia nodded and pulled up several videos on her phone.

Seeing the clear faces in the video, Li Yan had no idea what these people's purpose was.

So crude! Aren't they afraid of going to jail? He quickly detected these people within his spiritual sense.

They were pushing a closed carriage towards the river.

They stole something but don't want it?!

They're not even afraid of going to jail.

Li Yan could only say 6. Since it wasn't planned by a competitor, he couldn't concern himself with that much.

What Hua Ningxia did just now was enough.

However, these people cannot be let off the hook.

Li Yan's divine sense formed a sharp sword, slashing towards the minds of that group of people.

With a thud, more than ten people collapsed and fainted, destined to spend their future in Qingshan Mental Hospital.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Hua Ningxia one more question.

"Where is that developer company located?"

Hua Ningxia was taken aback. "Not Chu Province."

Li Yan nodded slightly, obtained the name and address of the developer's representative, left Hua Ningxia a protective jade talisman, and then left directly.

After dealing with the culprit, the white glove, Li Yan returned to his home in Huangcheng.

The room door was open, and Jiang Yingzhu and the other person were sitting on the sofa.

"Where did you go? You didn't go to evening self-study and came back so late. I was already craving a midnight snack."

"Really? I brought some braised food."

Li Yan smiled and raised the object in his hand.

"Wow!"

Jiang Yingzhu cried out in surprise, then touched her belly and cried out again.

"what!"

The effects of the fasting pill didn't wear off until evening. She and Mengmeng were waiting for Li Yan, and they had just eaten a lot of snacks as a form of revenge.

I'm already full.

Mei Mengqian then took the braised food.

"Let's eat tomorrow. It's not good to eat at night, Zhuzhu. Let's go back to sleep. I'm sleepy."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yingzhu's eyes lit up, and she praised Mengmeng's cleverness.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yan spent the entire week focusing on wood forging.

Unlike carved gold forging, wooden forging is easier to combine into arrays.

Therefore, Li Yan set up more than a dozen more automated medicinal liquid refining furnaces, mainly made of wood forging.

He discovered that wooden forging had another advantage: it didn't require much spiritual energy support, thus saving space in the spirit-gathering array.

The company's research base has been completed near Xisai Mountain.

He then moved all the refining furnaces there.

Most of the people at the research base are security personnel, all of whom are retired military personnel and have signed extremely strict confidentiality agreements.

The same applies to researchers, so Li Yan wasn't worried about anyone leaking anything.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yan's cultivation level has broken through to the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

……

Wednesday, December 21

23rd day of the 11th lunar month
Winter Solstice, sunny.

"Li Yan, Meituan reminded me to get something good to eat, you know what I mean?!"

The last period on Wednesday morning was changed to physical education class, which happened to be the same in Jiang Yingzhu's class. At this moment, Jiang Yingzhu waved her phone and said.

"Then you can cook for yourself at noon?" Li Yan asked.

"Troublesome. I booked a new mutton soup restaurant on Meituan. They have a promotion for drinking mutton soup on the Winter Solstice. I wonder where they're from."

Jiang Yingzhu said to herself, "But their pictures look pretty good, all milky white. We'll go have mutton soup and dumplings for lunch."

"alright."

Li Yan glanced at her, then at Mei Mengqian, who was looking on expectantly behind him.
