Chapter 1284: Chapter 566: Wrapping Up in the Otherworld, Optional to Skip_2

But starting today, there’s no need to be overly frugal.

If the cycle lasts three months, given the current speed of spiritual qi absorption and storage limit, one can practice quite freely.

...

"Lin Li, take a look. I’ve organized the files like this, should make it easy for you to find later, right?"

The first to finish recording was Deng Wen. After all, a hundred years ago, his interpersonal relationships were much simpler compared to Shan Qing and Granny Guan. Additionally, his personality was relatively carefree. So even when recording videos for former close friends, they were relatively short. At the moment, Deng Wen was already sitting in front of the computer, organizing the recorded videos.

"I sorted them by the initial letters of their Daoist names or real names. This folder contains introductory ’letters’ for sects I once bestowed favors upon, among other things..." As Lin Li approached, Deng Wen manipulated the mouse and explained his classification habits.

"No problem." Lin Li nodded.

Lin Li now doesn’t even need to activate the ’Strong Memory’ ability to achieve an almost photographic memory. In fact, Deng Wen didn’t need to provide him with a paper directory. With a quick scan, Lin Li could match each person’s name with the ’appearance,’ ’sect of origin,’ and ’personality’ information that Deng Wen had previously told him.

It would still be quite easy to find when the time comes.

"Alright, then I’ll back it up to a hard drive and leave it to you."

"No problem, Senior Deng." Lin Li nodded.

"Thank you," Deng Wen said as he started the backup process and got up, "Let’s address your cultivation queries."

Guan Zhu was the second one to finish recording, as she mainly spoke to several disciples. Shanqing Daoist took the longest because he had many disciples and friends, and he was also chatty.

In the middle, he even ran out of memory space on his phone, so he had to back up files using Deng Wen’s phone.

By the time all three had finished recording, Lin Li had actually been in the Cultivation Realm for a full ten hours.

"Lin Li, are you going to use the random divine power next time?" Guan Zhu asked.

Strictly speaking, if all goes well, the three of them need not have said so much now.

Once communication is successfully established, both sides can engage in dialogue, so they can wait for information from the Cultivation Realm to arrive before responding purposefully.

Actually, all three were well aware that much of the content in the videos they recorded might never reach its intended audience, swept away in the torrent of humanity, obliterated by time.

But, that’s assuming ’everything goes smoothly.’

Who knows if Lin Li’s random departure can truly align with the wishes of the four?

Lin Li candidly recounted his random experience last month in Doomsday World to the three. If this month’s random is similar, teleporting him to other forbidden places or Demon Race nests, leaving Lin Li unable to communicate with or recognize any normal human cultivators, then it’s all for nothing.

——To guard against greater disappointment, Lin Li’s verbal stance was somewhat pessimistic.

Moreover, Lin Li mentioned that including the one remaining this week, his world-hopping anchor for the Cultivation Realm ensured at least (1+4×2) only 9 times.

So, even if everything goes smoothly, Lin Li will have only four instances where he can run between both sides to facilitate communication, making each instance incredibly precious. The three recorded their accumulated words over a hundred years, leaving nothing to chance.

"Originally, I planned to come here once more, to supplement Senior Guan with a set of materials..."

"That’s not urgent," Guan Zhu shook her head gently, "I’m not overly enthusiastic about computers, mostly just curious. Moreover, if I really want to use one, Shan Qing and Cloud won’t refuse to share. Establishing contact with the outside world is the real priority now."

"Got it," Lin Li nodded, "So next time I will use the random divine power, estimated to depart tomorrow night on my side, which is Sunday evening in reality. That way, whether it succeeds or not, not long after, it will be the next week, and I can cross over again.

If the previous instance goes smoothly, I’ll report back to share the good news with the three of you. If not, I’ll try randomly again, ensuring you won’t wait long."

"Alright."

Guan Zhu closed her eyes, exhaling deeply, as if in prayer.

Actually, Lin Li had quite high hopes for the possibility of success.

Because he had decided that before clicking ’Add Random Node’ on the system panel next time, he would first use a ’Fortune Talisman.’

[Fortune Talisman: Apply blood and adhere to the body for use. After activation, it greatly enhances the user’s fortune for one minute.

Once the enhanced fortune is exhausted, the talisman will prematurely lose effect.

The talisman cannot be used simultaneously in pairs, intervals less than three days between consecutive uses will lead to fortune backlash, greatly reducing fortune below normal levels for the subsequent time.]

This item was refreshed in the system shop a long, long time ago and hasn’t been replaced since.

Its previous usage was primarily combining with ’random quality spirit stones’ to pray for opening ’spiritual springs.’ Otherwise, due to its relatively high cost, it hadn’t been used at other nodes. Once spiritual qi became abundant, there was no need for ’spiritual springs,’ so the ’fortune talisman’ had not been used in a long time.

Now, with the arrival of ’random,’ naturally it’s its turn to shine.

Of course, the Doomsday World could have used it last month, but the price of 150 system currency seemed expensive, and Lin Li didn’t think the rewards in Doomsday World were worth it without a task.

Moreover, Lin Li wasn’t confident that using a ’Fortune Talisman’ would completely align with his wishes.

——In the past, combining ’Fortune Talisman’ + ’random quality spirit stone’ resulted only in acquiring ’high-grade spirit stone.’

Whether it’s ’high-grade spirit stone’ or ’spiritual spring,’ once activated, it becomes inactive and falls from the body, indicating its boost has been exhausted in this ’luck event.’

Clearly, a fortune talisman priced ’merely’ at 150 system currency can change destiny but not reverse it. That’s why Lin Li didn’t share this with the three; it’s not a guaranteed outcome.

So Lin Li didn’t think it worthwhile to gamble on this possibility in Doomsday World.

But the Cultivation Realm is different.

The reward ceiling is outrageously high.

’Parasitic Seed’ is just one possibility; more importantly, if he truly connects with some familiar Great Power Cultivators from a hundred years ago who knew Shan Qing, Deng Wen or Guan Zhu, would they treat him unfairly?

Pills, magic treasures... Even the random throwaways from these Great Powers are absolute treasures for a Foundation Establishment like Lin Li. Given his relationship with the three seniors and the role he could play during communication, how could they possibly throw trash his way?

If they dare treat him as a son or grandchild, he wouldn’t mind calling them father or grandfather!

That’s Lin Li’s pride, spirit, and anticipation.

If these rewards come from system tasks or the shop, their value would be way more than 150 system currency.

Fifteen hundred, fifteen thousand, the limit is the sky.

So, a fortune talisman costing a mere 150 system currency is hardly worth mentioning. If it doesn’t work once, Lin Li will use it again without hesitation.

Damn, now thinking of it, the next ’specific refresh opportunity’ should be set with the keyword ’luck.’

In the remaining two hours, with cultivation issues resolved, Lin Li continued absorbing spiritual qi while chatting with the three.

Maps from before the great battle in the Cultivation Realm, dangerous forbidden places, images and emergency coping methods for certain perilous spirit beasts, herbs...

These are knowledge points not recorded in the ’Cultivation Encyclopedia’ because Lin Li couldn’t leave the forbidden places and didn’t need them in reality. Now Shan Qing and Deng Wen find it necessary to inform him.

After finishing these two hours of ’lessons,’ Lin Li felt he was a bonafide Cultivation local.

[0:03:25]

Time is running out.

"Then Grandpa Shanqing, Senior Deng, Granny Guan, I’ll be off. I hope next time I appear, I’ll bring you the ’responses’ from your old friends!" Lin Li packed up, spoke his farewell.

"Alright!"

"May all go well!"
