Chapter 1280: Chapter 564: Temporal Rescue, Kid_2

The strength is indeed formidable, the cultivation is at the Tribulation Crossing Realm. She primarily cultivated martial arts, and a hundred years ago in the Cultivation Realm, she was considered a cultivator who reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Her body refining was remarkably skilled. If it weren’t for the fact that she, like us, abandoned her physical life to assist, Deng and I alone would never have been able to completely suppress those demons.

They all say sword cultivators can’t allow anyone close, but that guy over there with the surname Deng, if he dares let Granny Guan get close, one punch would shatter his sword."

Deng Wen, who was listening and doing well, saw Shan Qing slandering again, and sneered:

"For this guy with the surname Shan over here, if you let Granny Guan get close, she probably won’t even need to punch; just a shockwave, and your old teeth will fall out."

"My dao name is Shan Qing! Who said I have the surname Shan! Why don’t you say Kobe has the surname Ke!"

Deng Wen: "Who is Kobe?"

Shan Qing: "An overseas person."

Lin Li blinked, even knowing about Kobe.

Was this information among the data I previously shared with both of them?

Wondering if it counts as contaminating the database.

Just as the two were arguing back and forth, calling each other surnamed Shan and surnamed Deng, with a childlike bickering reminiscent of the elderly acting young, a perceptible yet restrained aura descended. Lin Li’s Divine Sense briefly perceived the surrounding air as slightly congealed.

Looking up and gazing into the distance, he indeed saw a figure rapidly approaching. In just a few seconds, the figure landed, appearing not far from the trio.

The newcomer was a woman, standing tall and straight like a pine tree, dressed in simple grey tight-fitting clothes that outlined her muscles with fluid lines of strength.

Even though Shanqing Daoist had said that Granny Guan was older than him, her face looked to be in her thirties or forties, yet she exuded a calm demeanor, devoid of the rough and bold aura typically associated with martial artists, as Lin Li imagined.

Granny Guan’s gaze, from the beginning, locked onto the only unfamiliar face in the group.

The scrutinizing gaze carried no malice, but rather an unmasked curiosity and exploration, as if she wanted to see through Lin Li from the inside out.

"All this noisy clamor makes one almost miss when you two were alive, each pretending with politeness."

Granny Guan’s voice was clear and powerful, carrying a faint trace of undetectable helplessness as her gaze swept over Shan Qing and Deng Wen.

Seeing Granny Guan’s arrival, Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen quieted down, exchanging glances where Shan Qing scoffed while Deng Wen merely chuckled.

Then Deng Wen turned to Granny Guan, greeting her: "Granny Guan, you’ve arrived."

After all, in terms of age, he was indeed a junior compared to both Shanqing Daoist and Granny Guan. While Shanqing Daoist was an old shameless one undeserving of respect, Granny Guan deserved some courtesy from Deng Wen.

"Look, Granny Guan, this is the takeaway I’ve been telling you about from reality. Lin Li didn’t know you had woken up, so he only brought two portions this time. I’ll give you my share so that you can taste the warm cuisine from another world."

Shanqing Daoist said this as he pointed to the takeaway on the ground for Granny Guan.

"Hmm," Granny Guan merely nodded casually, her attention returning to Lin Li.

She took a few steps forward, employing a step-by-step technique, and was suddenly face to face.

Despite being so close, Lin Li didn’t feel any daunting martial pressure, even finding her presence more serene than when at a distance earlier.

He wondered if it was because she had fully restrained herself, or maybe it was due to her no longer having a physical body.

"You..." Granny Guan’s eyes held curiosity, and her voice had a tone of confirming certainty, "you’re Lin Li? The child who came from Earth?"

"Yes, Granny Guan, junior Lin Li, greets the elder." Lin Li bowed respectfully.

"No need for such formality," Granny Guan waved her hand with crisp and fluent motions, "Shan Qing and Cloud Sword Immortal have been talking about you in my ear for the past two months."

—— Cloud Sword Immortal is Deng Wen’s designation, which Shan Qing had mentioned before, he just never called Deng Wen that way.

"They’ve also said things about your personality, so you don’t need to restrain or suppress yourself; just be yourself. I’m merely a crude martial artist and don’t mind these things."

Still slandering.

What’s wrong with my personality?

Frankly, Lin Li thought if someone captured a Pokémon in the game finding out its personality is "Lin Li," that trainer would surely secretly rejoice.

But before Lin Li could respond, another barrage of questions fired from Granny Guan, her gaze bright with an insatiable curiosity for the unknown:

"They say you come from that world called Earth?"

"Recently, I’ve read a lot about your world. I really can’t fathom the principles of those iron constructs flying and moving – mechanics? Or another application of the Earth’s forces?"

"But it’s true that above the sky is more sky; what you call the universe is near-endless?"

"Does it mean our world might be like that too?"

"Oxygen, vacuum..."

Granny Guan’s questions came one after another, her speech quick yet clear, highlighting her hunger for this new knowledge.

Lin Li, Shanqing Daoist, and Deng Wen were all quite accustomed to Granny Guan’s eager demeanor at this moment. Lin Li, the one being interrogated, maintained a smile and attentive stance.

Such is human nature.

"Granny Guan, you ask so much at once, how can Lin Li possibly answer, and some of this I haven’t gone over with you already?" Shanqing Daoist laughed as Granny Guan continued to question.

"Right, I apologize, got a bit excited," Granny Guan acknowledged and stopped her string of questions, nodding slightly with a bit of apology toward Lin Li and looking at Shanqing Daoist: "But what you two have mentioned still seems unreliable."

"Granny," though Granny Guan merely had a woman’s form, since Shanqing Daoist already informed me how to address her, I’ll go with it, "truthfully, some of the questions you asked, I also find difficult to answer, as I’m not an expert in those fields, and each craft has its specialization.

So if I truly had to answer, it can only be a vague understanding or ambiguous answer. If there are specific areas of knowledge you’re curious about and my current knowledge base lacks clear explanations, let me know, and I’ll check and gather resources upon returning, to see if I can provide answers for you."

"Thank you, and those computers, phones, and headphones they use, if possible, bring me an example too,"

Clearly, Granny Guan wasn’t a pretentious person, and perhaps she learned of the mutually beneficial ’transactions’ from Shan Qing and Deng Wen, so she straightforwardly asked:

"Though my focus is martial arts, I’m not completely ignorant of other areas. Furthermore, Lin Li, your current level isn’t very high yet, so for issues in cultivation, I can also offer guidance like the other two have."

"Additionally, regarding body refining and martial arts, I believe I have significant insights, even surpassing the other two, and can offer records and notes to you, albeit as limited reciprocation..."

"Granny, Grandpa Shanqing already told me, so next time, I’ll bring them," Lin Li smiled and nodded,

"It won’t be long since I plan to stay here for about twelve hours this time, which equivalates to six periods here. Due to the difference in time flow, after just a few more hours, I’ll return with the necessary materials."

This week’s 20 system currency refresh opportunity remains unused, so once supplies are complete, returning is feasible.

"Okay, thank you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Li spoke:

"Granny, please don’t mention it, in actuality, there’s something I need help with from you three, to assist in refining my thinking."

"Oh, what is it?" The trio turned their attention upon hearing this.

"Three months have passed, and my Divine Power has evolved again."

"Currently, when I come to the Cultivation Realm, I’m not limited to this location. I can randomly travel to other places in the Cultivation Realm, plus I’ve gained a non-malicious but self-benefiting derivative Divine Power called ’Parasitic Seed’..."
