447: Chapter 91 The Arrival of Quanxing Members

"Then you and Lingyu..."

Before Lu Jin could finish, Xia He interrupted, "I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"I am a demon of Quanxing, and he is a disciple of the Celestial Master. We were never on the same path."

Xia He spoke these words calmly, but her peripheral vision remained fixed on Meng Li's expression.

Seeing his expression remain unchanged, she breathed a secret sigh of relief, yet felt a bit annoyed.

Was this damn man truly indifferent to her, or was he just pretending?

Xia He felt conflicted but didn't ask.

Seeing Xia He say this, Lu Jin's brow relaxed, and he said no more.

He wouldn't normally interfere in the romantic entanglements of the younger generation. He only asked this time because it involved Zhang Lingyu and Meng Li.

Zhang Lingyu went without saying.

As for Meng Li, he had previously reattached Xiao Xiao's arm. Although Lu Jin had paid for it, he knew that Xiao Xiao's injury was caused by an outlander's methods, and other doctors were helpless. Meng Li's ability to do what others couldn't was proof of his brilliant medical skills.

Under these circumstances, Lu Jin naturally intended to stay on good terms with him.

After all, in this life, no one can guarantee they won't get injured or sick, especially when living in the outlander circle.

Even if he was over a hundred years old and didn't care, the Lu family still had younger generations.

Lu Jin's presence here today was partly to offer a favor.

Of course, that wasn't the only reason; he also wanted to watch skilled fighters and strike a blow against Quanxing.

Feng Zheng Hao felt much the same way.

Since Lu Jin stopped talking, the others remained silent as well, and the topic was dropped.

Shortly after, the group chatted for a few more moments and prepared to head to the Xilin Gol Prairie.

Feng Zheng Hao, Lu Jin, Zhang Chulan, and the others didn't have cars either, so Feng Xingtong went to rent several vehicles for everyone.

Meng Li, however, found an empty spot and pulled a car out of his storage ring.

Soon, he appeared driving the car, told Xia He and Chen Duo to get in, and set off toward the Xilin Gol Prairie.

Feng Xingtong noticed the license plate was from Jinmen. Remembering Meng Li's earlier words, he couldn't help but wonder, "Where did this car come from?"

Feng Sha Yan, sitting in the passenger seat, was equally curious.

In the back seat, Feng Zheng Hao noticed their strange behavior and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Feng Xingtong replied, "Nothing, I'm just a bit curious about Brother Meng's car."

Feng Sha Yan then briefly explained the conversation Feng Xingtong and Meng Li had at the restaurant regarding renting a car.

Now Feng Zheng Hao was curious too, but unable to figure it out, he looked at Lu Jin beside him. Seeing him lost in thought, he asked with a smile, "Old Lu, you are well-traveled and knowledgeable. Have you noticed something?"

Lu Jin replied, "If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Meng likely possesses a spatial Magical Artifact."

This immediately caught Feng Sha Yan's attention.

Because her innate ability was related to space.

Feng Xingtong also perked up his ears.

The Tianxia Society had an Artifact Refiner, so the siblings had heard a bit about things related to Artifact Refining.

Feng Zheng Hao was the same, perhaps even more knowledgeable.

Because of this, he couldn't help but be surprised. "Does such a legendary thing truly exist?"

"Of course," Lu Jin confirmed, then added, "However, such things are related to space, and ordinary Artifact Refiners cannot create them. Since Artifact Refiners are already rare, spatial Magical Artifacts have gradually become legends. But if one has mastered Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, it is possible to refine one."

"After all, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements is known as the 'Ultimate of Artifact Refining.'"

Then, stroking his beard, Lu Jin said, "If Dr. Meng has truly refined a spatial Magical Artifact, then there will be a good show to watch today."

...

In a remote corner of the Xilin Gol Prairie, several cars slowly came to a halt.

Zhang Chulan looked around and saw only their group. He was confused and was about to ask Meng Li when he saw the three of them laying out blankets, setting out food, and even bringing out Ludo. They looked exactly like they were on a spring picnic.

His mouth twitched as he said to Meng Li, "Brother Meng, are you sure you're here for a fight?"

Meng Li said, "Yes, but the people aren't here yet, right? Instead of just waiting, we might as well relax for a while."

At that moment, Chen Duo asked Feng Baobao, "Feng Baobao, have you ever played Ludo?"

Feng Baobao nodded. "I have."

"Then why don't you come and play with us?"

"I will."

Zhang Chulan: "..."

This scene was completely different from what he had imagined!

But on second thought, there was nothing wrong with it.

Xu Si walked over, patted his shoulder, and held up a set of Xiangqi. "Don't just stand there. Since they aren't here yet, let's play a few rounds."

"Where did you get that set?" Zhang Chulan asked.

"Got it from Meng Li," Xu Si replied, sitting on the ground to set up the pieces.

Zhang Chulan looked around and found that everyone present had started playing in small groups: some were playing Ludo, some were playing Xiangqi, and some were playing cards.

Bringing so many entertainment tools to a pre-arranged fight? This was just illogical!

Also finding it illogical were Ding Shanan, the Three Corpses, the Six Thieves, and others who had come for the appointment.

After arriving at the Xilin Gol Prairie, they used the keen sense of smell of Dou Zhong, one of the Six Thieves known as 'Nose Smells Love,' to find the location. When they arrived, good heavens, a group of people were here playing chess and cards, without the slightest appearance of being ready for a fight.

If they hadn't been certain that everyone present was an outlander, and that Lu Jin and Feng Zheng Hao were there, Ding Shanan's group would have thought they were in the wrong place.

As soon as Ding Shanan's group appeared, Meng Li and the others stopped their entertainment in unison.

"Ding Shanan, you've arrived."

Lu Jin smiled and greeted Ding Shanan, who was leading the group.

Feng Zheng Hao also nodded with a smile.

Ding Shanan was a member of Quanxing, but he was different from the others. He didn't join Quanxing to indulge himself or act recklessly, but because he wanted more opportunities to spar with all kinds of outlanders to improve himself.

In other words, he was a martial arts fanatic.

Furthermore, Ding Shanan had a good character and good relationships with others. Combined with his extraordinary strength, many figures of the Righteous Path regarded him with respect and would not make things difficult for him unless necessary.

Seeing Lu Jin speak, Ding Shanan nodded and then asked in confusion, "Old Lu, Chairman Feng, what are you doing?"

Lu Jin laughed. "Weren't we waiting for you to arrive? We were a bit bored, so we decided to relax for a while."

Having said that, he pointed to Meng Li, who was standing up, and introduced him: "This is Dr. Meng Li, the one who sent out the message for the challenge. You can talk to him about the fight and the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements. Chairman Feng, these youngsters, and I are just here to witness it today as spectators."

Hearing this, Ding Shanan and the others immediately turned their gaze toward Meng Li.

Meng Li stepped out from the crowd and spoke with a smile, "It wasn't easy for everyone to travel such a long distance, so I'll keep it brief."

"This challenge is divided into two categories: one is a match to the first hit, and the other is a life-and-death battle."

"The outcome of a first-hit match is determined by one side surrendering or losing the ability to fight. If you defeat me, I will hand over the Secret Manual for Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements with both hands."

As he spoke, he publicly took out a transcript of the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements manual from his storage ring, gestured with it, then put it away and continued, "If you lose, then you must provide me with a skill that catches my interest. Afterward, I will provide medical treatment here, but it will be for a fee."

"If you can't produce a decent skill, then you'll have to use your entire cultivation to settle the debt."

"As for the life-and-death battle, that's much simpler."

"It determines both superiority and life or death."

"If you kill me, you can take Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements for yourselves. If you die at my hands, there is no one to blame but yourselves."

"Of course, you are Quanxing, and your main thing is not following rules, so you can also swarm me all at once. But in that case, I won't be holding back my strikes."

"That's the situation. Choose how you want to fight."
