71: Use the sheep spell and go to the Lou family to investigate

Shadow Devourer: Smallest in size, shaped like a small shark, it devours others' shadows. Those whose shadows are devoured will fall unconscious due to the loss of 'qi'. The more shadows it devours, the stronger its size and combat power become.

Mantis-shaped: Resembles a mantis, with arms capable of powerful swirling strikes.

The strength of the summoned Shadowkhan Army soldiers is closely tied to the host's power.

The stronger the host's own power, the more powerful the Shadowkhan Army soldiers summoned will become.

Among the many divine artifacts Long Feiyang possessed, the tala mask was undoubtedly his most satisfying item; its unique abilities and mysterious power gave him more confidence for future challenges.

However, even after purchasing the tala mask, he was still 80 grams short of the target weight he had in mind.

Long Feiyang repeatedly picked and chose among the many items in the Super Mall, and after much thought, he simply bought five more storage rings.

He planned to keep these rings for other pets in the future, just in case.

In addition, he also purchased six Longevity Pills; each Longevity Pill contained miraculous power, capable of increasing the user's lifespan by one hundred years, and each weighed 5 grams.

After such careful selection and procurement, he finally gathered one kilogram of items, and this shopping spree cost him a total of one hundred million emotion points.

Immediately after, Long Feiyang focused his energy and integrated the two newly purchased talismans into his ability system.

Then, he decisively used the soul-separation power contained in the sheep talisman; in an instant, his soul, like a light butterfly, detached from the shackles of his physical body and drifted directly towards the Lou Family.

When Long Feiyang's soul floated to the Lou Family, he looked into the room through the window and saw a total of six people inside.

A middle-aged couple and Lou Xiaoe were accompanying a spry old man, and behind the old man stood two stern-faced, upright guards.

At this moment, the old man was excitedly flipping through a book, his eyes revealing unconcealed excitement and joy.

"Huh? This rich golden 'Good' character!"

Long Feiyang's gaze inadvertently fell on the old man's head, and he pondered inwardly.

"Not only is this old man of respected and revered status, but his heart is also so kind?"

A hint of surprise welled up in his heart, and at the same time, he had always been doubtful about this so-called 'Good' character.

Did this 'Good' character merely represent personal kindness, or was it a great kindness that encompassed all living beings under heaven?

This question constantly revolved in his mind, but there was never a definite answer.

"Lou Zhenhua, you've done very well. I will truthfully report your merits to the higher-ups. The country will never mistreat those who have contributed."

After carefully reading the first three books, the old man had already deeply realized the extraordinary preciousness of this set of Encyclopedia of Medicine, cherishing it as a treasure, holding it in his hands, unable to put it down.

Later, upon hearing Lou Zhenhua say that there were other parts at home, he eagerly rushed over to investigate.

After confirming that this entire set of books was an invaluable treasure, and that the knowledge it contained was enough to propel the entire nation's medical system to the world's pinnacle, he dared to make such a solemn promise to Lou Zhenhua, relying on his special status that allowed him to advise the higher-ups.

"Thank you, Old Wang!" Lou Zhenhua's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and tears of joy sparkled in his eyes.

With Old Wang's words, the stone that had been weighing on his heart finally fell.

At least, with this merit, the Lou Family would have solid protection in the future.

As long as there were clear instructions from above, others would no longer be able to deliberately make things difficult for the Lou Family using their former capitalist identity, and the Lou Family would also be able to gain a firm footing in these turbulent times.

"Lou Zhenhua, can you tell me where these books came from?"

Old Wang asked with a hint of curiosity.

In his opinion, these books were too precious and rare; each one could be called a world-class treasure, containing endless wisdom and value.

Although he had not yet finished reading the entire set of books, he was convinced that the knowledge expounded in just the first few volumes was already something not found abroad, its advanced and unique nature being self-evident.

"This..." Lou Zhenhua hesitated upon hearing this.

His mind instantly recalled Long Feiyang's words, as relayed by Lou Xiaoe: "If the higher-ups want to investigate the source of the books, can your Lou Family handle it yourselves without implicating me?"

Lou Zhenhua's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became increasingly firm, as if he had made up his mind in an instant.

"Old Wang, I am truly sorry, but regarding the situation of this set of books, I cannot disclose it to you for now. If any problems arise in the future because of this set of books, our Lou Family will bear full responsibility and will never shirk it."

Lou Zhenhua's tone was firm and sincere, without the slightest hesitation or retreat.

Long Feiyang watched Lou Zhenhua silently, and through his expression and tone, confirmed that Lou Zhenhua was speaking from the heart.

He was very satisfied; since Lou Zhenhua did not have a black evil character above his head, his plan could be implemented step by step.

However, just then, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he instantly realized an extremely serious problem.

He couldn't help but secretly regret that his previous thoughts were utterly foolish, as he had completely overlooked the powerful force possessed by the state machinery once it started operating.

Those clues that seemed secret to him would inevitably have nowhere to hide in the face of the state's professional and systematic investigative methods, like shadows under strong light, with no place to conceal themselves.

Once the relevant authorities decided to thoroughly investigate the source of this set of books, tracing the subtle yet connected clues like a spider's web, it would only be a matter of time before they traced it back to him.

Long Feiyang realized that the information that he once possessed books such as the Encyclopedia of Medicine and Encyclopedia of Culinary Arts would inevitably be thoroughly investigated.

If the abnormal situations of the two Golden Eagles and two Big Yellow Dogs were also taken into account, the situation would become even more tricky and complex.

By then, he would likely be suspected of his identity again, and the number of personnel tracking and investigating him would inevitably increase significantly, completely disrupting his peaceful life.

"I must make amends; the trading hall must be arranged in advance. And I need Red Queen to help correct it."

Long Feiyang's soul hovered over the Lou Family for a moment before quickly departing, drifting back towards his physical body.

--- Old Wang's gaze fell deeply on Lou Zhenhua, his eyes seeming to penetrate his heart, revealing scrutiny and inquiry.

Seeing Lou Zhenhua's firm and undeniable attitude, a hint of admiration unconsciously appeared in Old Wang's eyes.

"I was just a little curious; if you find it inconvenient to say, then it doesn't matter. Don't worry, if this is your merit, no one else can take it or snatch it away."

Old Wang spoke slowly, his voice calm and steady, yet carrying an undeniable authority, echoing through the room like a grand bell.

"Thank you, Old Wang, for your understanding and tolerance."

Lou Zhenhua quickly bowed slightly, his face full of sincerity and gratitude, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, under the careful and swift operations of the two guards, the entire set of Encyclopedia of Medicine was meticulously packed book by book, and then steadily carried away.

Lou Zhenhua respectfully escorted Old Wang to the door, and it was only after Old Wang's figure completely disappeared from sight that he belatedly realized he was already drenched in sweat, which was continuously streaming down his cheeks.

That scene just now was incredibly dangerous; he truly felt immense pressure and had been constantly worried that Old Wang would press him relentlessly with questions.

At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself for not choosing the wrong partner, and he sighed in his heart that this ordeal had finally been temporarily averted, and his strained nerves could finally relax a bit...

After Long Feiyang's soul returned to his body, he went straight into the basement.

He knew the situation was urgent and that he had to immediately start modifying the trading hall.

Above the trading hall, a brand new plaque hung high, prominently displaying the words "Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary." This was the name of the mysterious organization he had just carefully established.

The words "Huan Guang" were intended to create a mysterious, fantastical, and dreamlike unique atmosphere, implying that the high technology possessed by the organization was like light and shadow in a dream, full of incredible magical power, and also possessed pioneering significance, capable of breaking through existing technological boundaries and leading technology to new unknown domains.

The term "Sanctuary," on the other hand, emphasized the organization's mysterious nature and supreme authority, as if it were a high-tech sacred temple hidden from the world, where only a very few lucky individuals chosen by fate would have the opportunity to know of its existence and be able to enter this mysterious place.

After the renovation, the trading hall was grander and more magnificent in scale.

The hall was newly equipped with advanced holographic projection devices, and super-sized display screens were embedded in the walls. These devices were specifically installed to more vividly and intuitively showcase various cutting-edge technological achievements in the future.

On the floor of the hall, several flexible and precise robotic arms were neatly arranged; their dedicated task was to quickly and accurately transport goods from the transport channels, greatly improving transport efficiency.

At the same time, two robots and two powerful robotic wolves were placed in the corners of the hall, all controlled by the intelligent system "Red Queen," specially used to receive visiting guests and ensure the safety and order of the trading hall.
