I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 374 Someone Missed Me, and I Have to Guess
By evening, all ten tea trees had been planted.

Li Yan wasn't stingy, so he ordered a table full of good dishes for them as dinner.

Ye Qian didn't go with them; instead, she prepared to leave. Li Yan asked in confusion:

"Aunt Ye, are you leaving now? Mengmeng should be getting out of class soon."

“I’ll go to her school to check on her, have a meal there, and then go back, so she won’t have to walk any further.”

Ye Qian smiled and glanced at Li Yan, "Xiao Yan, want to come along?"

Li Yan felt that the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time and might be having some private conversations, so he decided it was better not to go and shook his head in refusal.

"No need, Aunt Ye, I still have some things to take care of here."

"Alright, then I'll be going now." Ye Qian nodded, not insisting.

I walked out of this alley and drove towards No. 6 Middle School.

Li Yan didn't ask her what would happen to the graduate students.

After all, they're all in their twenties; surely they can't be so clueless as to not know how to go back to school.

After watching Ye Qian drive away, his gaze shifted to the tea trees in the field, which were in the same row as the jujube and cherry trees.

Five on each side, just right.

The next step is to summon the spirit.

He used a spirit-gathering array to strictly confine the spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand meters to the roots of the cherry and jujube trees.

Now we need to expand to every single tea tree.

Not only do we need to change the range of the spirit-gathering array, but the spiritual energy is also insufficient.

It is necessary to gather spiritual energy from a wider range.

Li Yan flew high into the sky, activated his spiritual eyes, and used the Qi Observation Technique to observe the flow of spiritual energy throughout the entire Xishan District, quickly devising a plan in his mind.

Then, several Qi-accumulating pills appeared in his hand, which he shook repeatedly.

Enveloped and propelled by spiritual energy, these Qi-accumulating pills fell in various places like transparent meteorites.

The Qi-accumulating pills act as the core of the array, disappearing into various locations in the West Mountain area to form nodes. Then, under the influence of the illusory array patterns drawn by Li Yan's divine sense and spiritual power, they draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to inject into this small Qi-gathering array of Flying Cloud Mountain.

Then, with the small spirit gathering array, it was injected into the Flying Cloud Pavilion, and then entered the field from the Flying Cloud Pavilion.

As the spiritual energy changes drastically, a dazzling aurora can be seen in the sky.

Aurora borealis gathered from all directions, then merged with the sunset, forming a magnificent and colorful cloud that covered the entire Xishan urban area.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

TuTu, who was having dinner in front of Feiyun Building, exclaimed in amazement.

At the same time, throughout the city, countless people looked up and saw the magnificent clouds in the sky.

Unlike the usual red, it was a colorful rainbow, like a scene projected from the depths of the universe.

"Wow! That's awesome! Is Ultraman coming?!"

In the corridor of No. 6 Middle School, Ma Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the Nebula Form, Pluto is about to awaken. V me for 50, and I'll take you to join him." Yu Bin said while taking pictures with his phone.

There were people taking pictures all around him.

No one was worried about the teacher, because the teacher was also taking pictures.

They had never seen clouds like this before, and it felt incredibly novel to them.

Chen Xiyuan didn't bring his phone, so he could only stare blankly at the sky and said:

"Am I the only one curious about what this phenomenon is? Could it be some kind of disaster? I heard that strange phenomena appeared before the Tangshan earthquake."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai responded from the side, "You've gone stupid from reading too much. Who isn't curious? But is curiosity useful?"

“I think it’s possible that fellow Daoist ascended to heaven,” Hu Weiwen said from the side.

"Don't you think so? After all, there are Taoist temples on Feiyun Mountain."

“I think you have a higher chance of ascending to heaven,” Ye Daijia said. “Brother Hu, I’m really afraid you’ll fall asleep and die next to me one day.”

The discussion wasn't confined to this corner; it spread from No. 6 Middle School to the entire city.

Those who witnessed the spectacle discussed it extensively, while those who had not seen it learned about it through others' accounts and joined the discussion, heading to Xishan District.

Li Yan descended from the sky and began to work on the details of the spiritual energy transmission routes of Feiyun Mountain and the small building.

As for the strange phenomena in the sky, they don't matter.

Modern technology cannot detect spiritual energy, so it cannot investigate anything.

As netizens in later generations joked, the country's high-end weapons were created by burning aliens' butts with cigarette butts.

Surely no one can actually take this seriously.

Perhaps because there was no signal at high altitude, Li Yan received a call from Jiang Yingzhu not long after landing.

He glanced at the calls and saw over a dozen missed calls, all from Jiang Yingzhu, with Mengmeng's calls mixed in.

"Hey, what's up?"

"What's wrong?! Nothing, look at the sky, Li Yan, why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

"I was busy casting a spell just now so you could see the sky."

"Tch!" Jiang Yingzhu clearly didn't believe it. "Naive. I could have said that all those lights were produced by my fart."

"Then you're amazing." Li Yan vaguely heard Mengmeng's laughter and realized that he really couldn't do that.

Jiang Yingzhu felt he was subtly criticizing her, and snorted, "Guess why I called you?"

"Bring dinner?"

"Mengmeng brought it for me."

"Oh, then bring water." Li Yan nodded. He had spent some time setting up the formation, but he hadn't expected that Aunt Ye and Mengmeng had already finished eating.

"No, no, if you can't guess why I'm telling you to come over here right now and watch the sunset with me, then keep guessing."

"Coming right away." Li Yan hung up the phone, and then Mengmeng's call came in immediately.

What are these two doing?
Li Yan answered the call with a puzzled look, "Mengmeng?"

There was a response on the other end, followed by an immediate question:
"Hmm, Li Yan, guess why I called you?"

"Someone misses me, and I have to guess."

"No way!!"

Mei Mengqian retorted fiercely, refusing to admit it, "Narcissist, if you can't guess I'll ask you to bring red bean milk tea, then keep guessing."

"What kind of shameful little game are you playing, you bunch of idiots?"

Before Li Yan could finish speaking, Mengmeng hung up, and then Hua Junshu called.

"Senior, can I guess too?"

"No, you don't need to come over. We're already on our way back."

Li Yan blinked. "Okay." The sunset glow in the sky was slowly fading, but fortunately, Feiyun Building was close to the school.

Not long after, he saw Jiang Yingzhu and the other two walk back.

"Quick, quick, take a picture! You'll miss this once in a lifetime!"

Jiang Yingzhu rushed over and ran into the house to grab a selfie stick.

Then he quickly came out and directed a few people to take photos.

First, we took a group photo. The photo showed the mountains bathed in the brilliant glow of the sunset, with fields in the foreground that were half yellow and half green.

The most striking feature was the sky above the mountaintop, where the glow of the sunset swirled.

The footage looks like it's spinning above the four people's heads, giving the strange feeling that they are aliens who have just been dropped onto Earth.

In the corner of the photo, there's a calico cat looking up at them, as if curious.

"This group photo is really well taken," Mei Mengqian couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, it looks great." Hua Junshu nodded as well.

Jiang Yingzhu laughed heartily, patting her chest, "Of course! I'm a photography genius, let's keep taking pictures!"

Li Yan felt that she was obviously getting a little arrogant, so he deactivated the spiritual energy adjustment.

Jiang Yingzhu's photography skills immediately plummeted back to their original state.

However, all the photos taken were of the two of them together; as long as they look good, that's fine.

By the time Li Yan finished taking the last photo with the calico cat, the sky had already darkened.

"Are you still going to study in the evening?" Hua Junshu asked.

"Go."

Li Yan felt it was boring to stay at home alone.

The four then headed towards the school.

The dim streetlights quietly lit up, shining from both sides, casting the four people's shadows together, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye, who had just finished taking a set of photos of clouds and sunset, made a rare appearance on Douyin (TikTok).

And I secretly checked my friends list.

I hope my daughter can see this.

He felt like he was being forgotten.

I've already turned on Douyin (TikTok), so I'm definitely going to check it out.

As soon as Jiang Ye swiped the screen, a video popped up.

The receiver played Li Yan's singing voice, which sounded like he was trying not to laugh.

Jiang Ye saw the video; his daughter and a young girl were jumping around, doing something he didn't know.

Judging from the background, it's still a cafeteria.

Jiang Ye didn't understand why, but he felt it was good to see Zhu Zhu.

Then he became dissatisfied again, complaining that his daughter's talent performance only garnered a little over 10,000 views.

It only got a little over 5,000 likes.

The collection only has three thousand pieces.

Jiang Ye immediately long-pressed the button to launch Doujia, which was then deployed citywide.

After doing all that, Jiang Ye opened the video's comment section and suddenly saw a comment from a girl who had a portal to his video.

"Huh? This 'Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang' is Zhu Zhu? She's not."

Jiang Ye fell into deep thought, clicked on the account, entered the personal list, and immediately saw a long string of life videos.

Li Yan and two young girls appear in the photos from time to time, but the most frequent appearance is with a cat.

Jiang Ye glanced at it and sighed, "This girl has even learned to earn her own money."

After thinking for a moment, he called his secretary over.

"Lingling, go and contact a few pet supply manufacturers for me,"

···
Li Yan and the other two returned to the classroom and sat down. Yu Bing, who had been arguing heatedly with someone about Yunxia's occasional alien attacks, turned her head:
"Zhuzhu, Mengmeng, where did you go just now?"

“Let’s take a picture with Li Yan when we get home,” Jiang Yingzhu said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingya looked over and said, "Oh~, taking a group photo~"

Upon hearing something pleasant, several onlookers immediately gathered in the front row to watch.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yingzhu asked calmly, seemingly oblivious to the hidden meaning in her words. "Is something amiss?"

"No," Yu Qingya thought Mengmeng was funnier. "What do you think, Mengmeng?"

"I don't know, I just happened to be going back on the way," Mei Mengqian said, looking down.

"It's on the way." Lin Yufan nodded.

"Go back for a bit." Gan Tiantian nodded.

The others let out a long "Oh" the next moment.

"Stop 'oh,' the teacher is coming," Jiang Yingzhu suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the group quickly turned around and sat down properly.

Then they discovered that the teacher hadn't actually bought it.

"Zhuzhu is so naughty, she scares people."

"Yes."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't care about these accusations and just laughed.

Li Yan sighed. These people were really weak; Jiang Yingzhu had so easily diverted their attention.

However, this trick does work.

Just when the atmosphere was at its most enthusiastic, a sudden announcement came: "The teacher is here!"

No matter who said it, it always manages to scare people.

There's not much to say about the chemistry class during evening self-study.

Jiang Yingzhu diligently practiced her problems, continuing her competition with Yu Bing.

Mengmeng was writing, but her grades were no longer likely to improve through doing practice problems.

During a break between evening self-study sessions, the three students received a short video from a senior student.

It was posted in the Feiyun Xiaolou group chat.
