Chapter 2627: Chapter 2628: Zhang Youfu’s Request

"Hm?"

Seeing this reward, Lin Yi was quite surprised.

He originally thought that it’d be a reward of billions of RMB.

Unexpectedly, it was something he’d never seen before.

"Claim," Lin Yi murmured to himself.

Soon, Lin Yi felt a scorching energy coursing through his body, with all his muscles pulsating.

Especially his dantian, like a pump, bursting with endless energy, roaming throughout his body.

This feeling was beyond words, but the sensation was not entirely pleasant.

The strange feeling lasted for over ten minutes before it passed.

Lin Yi could clearly feel that his muscles had become more toned and explosive.

Looking around, Lin Yi stood up and walked to the door, gripping the latch.

With a gentle squeeze, the square wooden latch shattered instantly.

Tossing away the wood chips in his hand, Lin Yi flexed his fingers.

He could clearly feel his strength had increased substantially.

At this level, even head-on, no B-level person would be a match for him, and he wouldn’t need fighting skills to compensate.

"Is this also the technology of Tilia Island?"

[Yes.]

Lin Yi fell silent.

What he possessed might have corresponding data somewhere on the island as well.

In other words, Ning Che’s conjectures might all become reality.

There were still many unexplored things on Tilia Island.

Once these things become public or fall into the hands of certain forces, the global structure will change.

The future holds a long road ahead.

...

In the following days, everything was peaceful at Shangqing Palace.

After the temple fair incident had fermented, Shangqing Palace’s popularity completely surpassed Zhengyi Temple.

Even though they were vigorously promoting everywhere, it still had little effect.

In those days, apart from meditation, Lin Yi was wandering around Shangqing Palace, hoping to trigger system tasks.

But there was no effect.

Because of this, Lin Yi had no plans to stay in Shangqing Palace.

He prepared to go back and see his wife and children.

Regarding the tasks, he decided to relax his mind; the wife and children were more important.

"Junior Brother."

After breakfast, Lin Yi was ready to head down the mountain to go home.

But he hadn’t taken a few steps before he heard Zhang Youfu calling him from behind.

"Are you trying to sell me something again this time?"

"Not selling you anything this time," Zhang Youfu said:

"Senior Brother has something he needs your help with."

"You’re not trying to hook me up with some gig at being a gigolo, are you, helping you make money?"

"Am I so hopeless in Junior Brother’s eyes?"

"I’ve been trying to avoid using C language."

"Alright, but this time it’s serious business. I’m going down the mountain," Zhang Youfu said.

"That’s just perfect, I’m heading home too, I can give you a lift."

"Not asking you to give me a lift. I hope you stay at Shangqing Palace and leave after I return."

"Huh?"

Lin Yi was puzzled, "You’re asking me to stay and keep an eye on Shangqing Palace for you?"

Zhang Youfu nodded.

"I can stay, but what’s the point? Lin Yi asked:

"You’ve got all the money from Shangqing Palace. The rest of the stuff isn’t worth much. Are you afraid someone might steal the over-five-meter-tall Three Pure Statues?"

"Not that, but if we both leave, there will be no one at Shangqing Palace. I’m worried the people from Zhengyi Temple might take advantage to cause trouble."

"You’re overthinking," Lin Yi said:

"Even if you gave them a few guts, they wouldn’t dare come."

"Still, someone should stay. If there really is a problem, the people downstairs won’t know how to handle it. With Junior Brother there, I feel assured."

With that, Zhang Youfu handed over a set of keys to Lin Yi.

"At night, you can go to my room and experience the sound of the Great Tao. It’s an opportunity others don’t have."

"I can stay, but I’d rather not stay in your room."

"Don’t be so polite with Senior Brother," Zhang Youfu said, forcing the keys into Lin Yi’s hand, "If you don’t take them, I can’t say what comes next."

Lin Yi felt something was off; Zhang Youfu might have more important things to convey.

"What do you want to say?"

"You take my keys, then you need to lend me your car keys."

"What, are you planning to use my car to court women?" Lin Yi said:

"At your age, you better be careful."

"Age is old, but the heart’s not. Trust Senior Brother’s charm, now hurry and lend me the car."

The conversation had reached this point, so Lin Yi didn’t stall.

He handed the car keys to Zhang Youfu.

As for going home, it would be postponed.

With the car keys in hand, Zhang Youfu walked away gracefully, and Lin Yi felt he was certainly off to meet an old acquaintance.

"Huh? Where has Master gone?"

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, Li Yongnian came out, confused.

"Down the mountain, and he took my car keys too."

"What? Down the mountain?"

"It’s just a mountain, why the big fuss?"

"But Master’s not been down the mountain in five years; why suddenly now?"

"Huh? Not down the mountain in five years?" This time it was Lin Yi’s turn to be surprised.

"Since that incident, Master hasn’t gone down the mountain."

Hearing this, Lin Yi became interested.

"What incident?"

"Seems to have been a theft attempt, though it didn’t succeed," Li Yongnian shrugged, "The details, I don’t really know, Master handled it all himself."

"Is there something worth stealing at Shangqing Palace?"

"I heard Master hid several chests of gold, but I don’t know exactly how much, most likely targeting those things."

"Given his character, he could do such a thing," Lin Yi said:

"But going down the mountain shouldn’t have anything to do with it, right?"

"I think there is," Li Yongnian said earnestly:

"Five years ago, the two of us often went to Big Treasure Sword, but after that incident, he stopped going, so I remember clearly. In my mind, he hasn’t gone down the mountain until now, whether or not it’s related remains to be seen."

"He even gave up the Big Treasure Sword?"

Lin Yi stroked his chin; it felt a little odd.

Even if gold was hidden on the mountain, as long as it’s well-kept, it’s impossible someone would come to steal.

After all, there are so many people on the mountain.

The two of them talked for a bit about Zhang Youfu, then went about their own business.

Lin Yi didn’t do much all day, staying at Blessed Land Gate.

Besides that, he set up a rocking chair and tea table, thoroughly enjoying himself.

The day quickly passed.

At night, Lin Yi lay in bed, unable to sleep.

His mind kept drifting to Zhang Youfu.

A question lingered in his mind.

"What the heck is he hiding in the room? So mysterious?"
