584: You really want to know?

Back Mountain.

Zhang Tongqian was tossing a copper coin on the ground, and in front of him were two Old Men grunting and digging for medicinal herbs.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, I really admire you!" Li Hongda sincerely praised, "With your ability to point anywhere and find good herbs, I'll never lack medicinal ingredients for Alchemy in the future!"

"This piece of Polygonatum, judging by its age, is at least thirty years old!" Li Hongda picked up the Polygonatum root from the soil, his face full of happiness.

"Now you know the capability of our Destiny Calculation Department? Hehe, when my strength is a bit stronger, and I have more customers for screen protectors, I can even calculate what the cafeteria is serving for lunch!"

Zhang Tongqian said happily, tossing the copper coin in his hand.

Looking at the result of the casual divination, Zhang Tongqian pointed to the cliff further away: "Go over there, there's a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"

"Looking at this divination, our descendants will be coming to find us soon. Let's not talk about Immortal Cultivation anymore, and don't actually reveal anything."

"Alright." Li Hongda responded, then reached out and picked up the survival pack next to him.

Not long after.

After Li Hong and Zhang Shan arrived here, they could see some traces of digging and earth-moving.

"This mountain is really big. Those Old Men are over ninety, why are they still messing around randomly?" Zhang Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead. Even as a gifted person, running so much in the mountain in a short time left him a bit breathless.

Behind them.

Li Hong followed a step slower.

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, he casually smiled: "What ninety years old? These Old Men are very likely gifted people like us!"

"It's precisely because they are gifted people that they have the strength to mess around like this!"

Li Hong's words were certain.

After seeing the three packs, and recalling his previous experiences with his Father, Li Hong felt more and more that something was wrong the more he thought about it.

His Father's mind wasn't broken, so why was he lying in a coffin while perfectly lucid?

Moreover, when his heart disease relapsed at that time, according to his wife's account, his Father just gave him some pills and his condition stabilized!

The key point is, his second talent was actually activated under those circumstances at that time!

The most crucial thing is, his Father also said that the Medicinal Pill was refined by him personally!

How incredible and unbelievable these things were.

However, if you add one condition to these strange occurrences, if his Father was truly cultivating Immortality and refining pills as he said, then everything would make perfect sense!

After this thought appeared, Li Hong was still full of excitement even now.

And Zhang Shan, listening to Li Hong's words, also had flickering eyes and didn't refute.

Thinking about it now, the fact that his Grandpa could run so fast in the marathon back then, even to the point where he, a young man, was exhausted and had to get into an ambulance, while the Old Man could finish the entire race in less than an hour, this matter is indeed full of doubts!

A normal Old Man, or even a professional athlete, couldn't possibly do that.

Unless his Grandpa was already a gifted person at that time!

Only this explanation can clarify that unbelievable situation!

Both of them, with the certainty that their elders were strong individuals, stepped further into the mountain with slight excitement.

Not long after, the two suddenly stopped.

When they saw the situation in their line of sight, even after thinking their elders were gifted people, they were still startled.

In their field of vision, they could clearly see that there were actually three people on the cliff face in the distance!

These three people were collecting herbs on the cliff face!

...Inside the School.

At this moment, Qiao Zheng was in the cafeteria, holding a washbasin in his hand. On the adjacent racks for rice bowls, there were various containers like basins and buckets.

"This is a washbasin, why is it in the cafeteria? Are you saying your School uses this to serve food to Old Men?"

Qiao Zheng looked like he had found evidence of the School mistreating Students, his face serious.

Seeing this washbasin, the inspection team's expressions were also a bit strange, and the eyes of the few Old Men who came along twitched even more.

"These..." Yang Shou began to explain, "These are things for Students to bathe. After all, behind the cafeteria is where the water is connected, so putting them here saves the trouble of going to the dormitory to get them. This is convenient for everyone."

This explanation.

Qiao Zheng listened... and it sounded quite reasonable.

Then he thought about how silly his question was, like asking someone if a telephone can connect to WiFi.

It felt like he was deliberately looking for trouble.

"The cafeteria is for eating after all, so there should be bowls on this rack."

"Let's replace them with normal bowls. It will be convenient for those Old Men when they come for lunch to get bowls."

After Qiao Zheng finished speaking, no one thought there was anything wrong, but the eyes of a few Students from the School twitched even more severely.

Looking at the small, palm-sized bowl that was replaced, their teeth were almost ground to dust.

"What is this for?" Turning his head with difficulty, Qiao Zheng came to a place that seemed like a technology laboratory.

After opening the door, high-tech-looking mechanical skeletons were displayed one by one.

"These are technology projects our School is currently researching and developing," Yang Shou said, pointing to a metal leg exoskeleton in the light tube nearby: "This exoskeleton can greatly increase a person's speed. Except for not being usable on steep ground or complex terrain, when used normally, it can elevate a normal person's speed by several levels!"

"We are developing this because we thought of the many Old Men in the School who are elderly and have inconvenient legs and feet. They can use this exoskeleton to help them walk."

"It can make people very fast, but cannot be used in complex terrain?" Coming to these two conclusions, Qiao Zheng shook his head.

This means this thing is just a semi-finished product.

Compared to other Schools, it is indeed good, but thinking of the drastic changes that will occur in the World later, Qiao Zheng didn't think highly of it at all.

This thing is far less powerful than gifted people.

After observing for a while and finding no evidence of the School being abnormal, Qiao Zheng left with some disappointment.

Why is this School so normal after coming in to inspect it?

Even if they knew he and his Wei Shi Alliance teammates were coming back yesterday, with a night's preparation time, they should have left some traces, right?

But the fact is, there are none, no traces at all!

This elderly university is really very normal!

He could only see if the other Wei Shi Alliance members could find any useful information.

Back Mountain.

"Dad, how could you do something so dangerous just now? This cliff is so steep, what if the rope you were tied to breaks?!"

Li Hong and Zhang Shan had already met up with the three Old Men.

"Hmph, what's this?" Li Hongda said complacently, not caring at all, "Let alone this cliff, even Mount Everest, as long as there are good medicinal herbs on it, I'll go and collect them!"

"We Cultivators, what can be difficult for me?"

"Cultivator! Dad, you admit you're a Cultivator?!" Li Hong was overjoyed.

"I've always been a Cultivator seeking the path to Immortality. Didn't I tell you that when I was at home?" Li Hongda patted the dust off the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Li Hong's expression stiffened instead.

At home, you were completely a superstitious Immortal Cultivation enthusiast, that's not what he meant at all.

"Dad, don't pretend to be confused with your son. Do you really have some extraordinary power?! Is the Immortal Cultivation you've been talking about all along real?!" Between Li Hong and Li Hongda, there was already a Father-son blood relationship.

Naturally, they asked whatever they wanted between them, without too many detours.

"Extraordinary power?" Li Hongda paused slightly, looking at his son in front of him: "You really want to know?"
