Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 24 Gathering Wool

"Luo Hua, shall we go have some tea?"

Xu Gang said to Luo Hua.

"Tea?"

Luo Hua was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Gang with some surprise.

Xu Gang shrugged and said, "It was my cousin who invited you."

To avoid Luo Hua refusing the invitation outright, Lu Jin asked his cousin Xu Gang to act as an intermediary.

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Hua said to Zhen Nan, "Nan Nan, you should go back first."

Considering that the inviter was his sister-in-law's cousin and that Xu Gang was the middleman, Luo Hua didn't refuse.

"Ah."

Zhen Nan nodded.

Not far from the hotel, in a private room on the top floor of the 'Nanshui Tea House', Lu Jin was sitting quietly.

Shortly after, footsteps were heard outside the door. A waitress in a cheongsam pushed open the door, and four figures walked in.

Xu Gang, Luo Hua, and their bodyguards.

Lu Jin is strong enough that he doesn't need bodyguards.

If real danger arises, the family's bodyguards will only be a burden.

However, Xu Gang and Lu Jin did not have the same strength, especially Luo Hua, who knew that his elder brother's belongings had been coveted by others after Luo Feng's death.

"Lu Jin, Xu Gang's cousin, welcome, welcome."

Lu Jin stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Luo Hua."

Luo Hua smiled and shook hands with Lu Jin.

Lu Jin then invited the two to sit down and asked the waiter to serve tea.

"Lu Jin, my mom said you've become a martial artist?"

Xu Gang asked Lu Jin.

"Sigh~, I'm just a newbie martial artist."

Lu Jin waved his hand.

'Little brother's talent is just so-so? Otherwise, given his personality—always looking for opportunities to show off even when there aren't any—he'd already be smug, right?'

Xu Gang thought to himself.

After some casual conversation, seeing that Xu Gang had already had his tea, Lu Jin looked at Luo Hua and said seriously, "Luo Hua, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh? You said."

Luo Hua raised an eyebrow and said.

Lu Jin didn't say it directly, but turned his gaze to Xu Gang and gestured towards the door.

"No, you two are having a business talk, and I can't even know about it?"

Xu Gang stared at Lu Jin in shock.

"Go ahead, I will remember your kindness."

Lu Jin patted Xu Gang on the shoulder.

Xu Gang: "."

"If you don't treat me to ten meals from now on, I'm not done with you!"

Xu Gang glared at Lu Jin and left the private room with his bodyguards.

"Uncle Zhao, you also want to go out and see the world, don't you?"

Luo Hua said to the bodyguard.

Soon, only the two of them remained in the private room. Luo Hua looked at Lu Jin with a curious expression.

Lu Jin said, "Luo Hua, your brother is the world's strongest mentalist. Do you have any mentalist manuals? I'm willing to pay a high price for them."

Although it was said to be a high-priced purchase, Lu Jin was certain that if it went through, it would be a free gift.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hua was taken aback and asked, "You've awakened your psychic powers?"

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded: "No mental energy master manuals are sold on major martial arts mall platforms. Without the guidance of manuals, the increase in mental energy amplitude is very slow."

"Sorry, I'm not a psychic, my brother didn't pass on any psychic techniques to me."

Luo Hua shook his head.

Lu Jin said in a deep voice, "No, your Luo family should have one. During the battle against the Devouring Beast, your brother used a robot, and robots require intelligent control."

If your brother left you a robot, then the AI ​​controlling it will most likely possess a mental cultivation manual.

As long as Luo Hua goes back and asks the robot at home, Babata will definitely know and will then notify Luo Feng.

Given Luo Feng's personality, he probably wouldn't mind passing on the basics of spiritual cultivation to him.

After all, he was Xu Xin's cousin, and he was determined to fleece the future Lord Luo!
After a moment's thought, Luo Hua asked, "Xu Gang told me that you recently became a martial artist. I wonder how much your fist power improved during your first training session?"

If Lu Jin wasn't talented, then there was no need for him to invest in him.

But if someone has exceptional talent, then it's worth investing heavily in them.

Leaving aside the matter of the Spiritual Master's manual, he possesses a considerable amount of Wood Crystals left behind by his elder brother Luo Feng, enough to enable a high-level War God facing a bottleneck to become a Planetary-level Councilor, and even a strong one among the Councilors.

Having a top-tier expert to rely on should be enough to deal with any malicious spy.

Of course, before that, he needed to investigate Lu Jin's character; he couldn't afford to invest in an ungrateful person.

Please keep this a secret.

"nature!"

Luo Hua readily agreed.

Lu Jin said, "I am now a beginner-level War God Warrior and an advanced War God Spiritualist."

Luo Hua was neither a treacherous person nor an enemy, so Lu Jin could let him know his strength.

"What?! Are you sure?"

Luo Hua looked on in disbelief.

Lu Jin shook his head and said, "There's no need for me to lie to you."

'The world of geniuses is truly insane!'

Seeing Lu Jin's serious expression, Luo Hua thought to himself.

Luo Hua said, "I'll go back and ask."

Lu Jin said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Regardless of the outcome, with my cousin Xu Xin as a connection, I can always come to you for help in the future.

This wasn't just an empty promise. Luo Feng was an honest man, and if I helped him once, he would remember it for a lifetime.

When Luo Feng tries to exploit loopholes in the future, he will find it impossible to refuse Luo Feng's invitation to spar.

"it is good."

Luo Hua nodded.

“At the full moon celebration, I noticed that Xu Xin wasn’t in a good mood. Please ask your aunt to talk to her and give her some advice so she doesn’t do anything rash.”

Remembering Xu Xin's bizarre attempt to commit suicide in the original novel, Lu Jin mentioned it.

Upon hearing this, Luo Hua was startled and immediately memorized it.

Since her elder brother Luo Feng's passing, Xu Xin's sister-in-law has indeed been in a bad state, constantly depressed.

Even at her two nephews' one-month celebration today, the sadness in her eyes was hard to hide, and it cannot be ruled out that she might really be contemplating suicide.

After returning home, Luo Hua mentioned Lu Jin's reminder to his mother, Gong Xinlan, and asked her to give him some advice.

Afterwards, Luo Hua went upstairs and brought the metal robot that Luo Feng had obtained from the No. 12 ancient civilization ruins into the room.

"Number 3, I wonder if your AI system has any of the mental cultivation manuals left by my brother? I need them."

Luo Hua spoke to the metal robot.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Babata's voice rang in Luo Feng's mind as he devoured the metal debris: "Luo Feng, your brother Luo Hua wants the manual of mental cultivators."

"??? Ahua knows I'm still alive?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised.

Babata said, "It shouldn't be. Luo Hua was asking about the robot's intelligent system."

“Babata, ask about the situation in the manner of an intelligent system.”

Luo Feng said.

For the time being, Luo Feng doesn't want his family to know that he has become the Golden Horned Beast.

After all, even he himself found it hard to accept the image of the Golden Horned Beast, let alone his family.

Fortunately, his human clone is already being conceived, and it won't be long before he can return to the human world.
