Even just injecting the serum alone can extend the lives of your veteran ministers by decades, even a century!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Shimin’s frown eased, and his gaze turned eager toward the serum on display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much does it cost?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I actually don’t know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin blinked, surprised: “You don’t know either?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming shrugged: “The treasures in the Yibao Pavilion are all Brother Lin’s personal collection—not items for sale. How would I know their prices?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why did you bring me here? Are you trying to make me anxious on purpose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming grinned: “Don’t rush—it’s not for sale, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get it. Brother Lin is easygoing; if you come teach at the academy with me, getting a few vials will be effortless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin: “….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all that, it still comes back to teaching at the academy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief thought, he murmured: “Then let’s wait until Brother Lin returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Li Shimin and Su Haoming continued wandering the Yibao Pavilion. After about an hour, Lin Yu finally returned to his inner universe with Xiang Yunye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Li Shimin, Xiang Yunye had chosen his residence near Yuhao Palace; after settling in, he joined the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Yun, you’re finally here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming and Li Shimin greeted him with smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging pleasantries, Xiang Yunye sighed: “Don’t mention it—the environment on Kunlun Mountain was worse than I expected. By the time I arrived, I spent three full hours just building a palace before my spiritual energy ran out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you build a palace in three hours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming whistled: “No wonder you’re a dual Water-Earth spiritual root—I couldn’t have done it myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Yunye shook his head: “It’s just a skeleton—a raw shell. Once I leave Brother Lin’s domain, I’ll have to return to finish the interior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu chuckled beside him: “Don’t act ungrateful—your Kunlun Mountain is already a blessed land. Even spending a few more hours is worth it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before I left, I saw a group of white apes resting by the Heavenly Pool—they’re quite intelligent. A little guidance, and they could serve you in your Baiyu Jing, handling chores.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Yunye grinned at that—he clearly had that in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming turned to Lin Yu: “By the way, Brother Lin, where’s Old Fan? He’s even slower than Yun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “Didn’t Linghua upgrade Wu Zhu last time? After returning, he went to the North Pole to take over the temple and turned it into Fan Xian’s private garden…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming immediately understood: “So he plans to fix the teleportation gate at the North Pole?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu nodded: “Exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming chuckled: “No wonder he’s so slow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the conversation paused. Li Shimin, who had been hesitating and wanting to speak, finally seized the moment to ask his most pressing question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, the anti-aging serum?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s expression cleared, and he smiled: “I knew you were hesitating—you wanted this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—even if you didn’t ask, I planned to list these serums on the group store. As for price, don’t fret—it’ll be far cheaper than the treasures from the xianxia side!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin’s face lit up. Xiang Yunye, hearing the serum’s effects, also grew interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances and asked together: “So how much? One hundred points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred points?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu looked puzzled, shook his head, and held up five fingers: “Priced at five points per vial—for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So cheap?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming blurted out in shock, staring at the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “Compared to other power systems, the advantage of tech items is mass production—so naturally, they’re cheap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if not for fear of causing chaos in group members’ worlds with too much serum, five points is already too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this only has a technological barrier—it’s not hard to produce. If Marvel’s Linghua No.2 ran at full capacity, it could produce over a million vials in a single day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Xiang Yunye and Li Shimin exchanged glances, both filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin, of course, needed it—but Xiang Yunye also had many relatives who would benefit greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the three, only Su Haoming looked oddly displeased: “So all my hard work teaching at the academy only earned me ten points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “That’s what you asked for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoming grumbled: “I didn’t know this stuff was this cheap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin, catching on, couldn’t help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he recommended the anti-aging serum—he’d already gotten his hands on it through his teaching position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging by Brother Lin’s tone, he’d granted Su Haoming the right to pick treasures from the Yibao Pavilion—and Su Haoming had simply chosen two anti-aging serums himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So no one else is to blame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, amid the teasing, Li Shimin and Xiang Yunye realized another thing—teaching at Lin Yu’s cultivation academy was paid in treasures from the Yibao Pavilion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged glances, both feeling a sudden urge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu noticed their interest and invited them to become teachers at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin, with the lowest cultivation, could teach the preschool class—after morning lessons, he could return to his world via the teleportation gate, theoretically leaving his state affairs untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xiang Yunye, Kunlun Mountain is still far from Chang’an.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the Marquis of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn’t afford to disappear for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this, Lin Yu waved his hand and decided to carve a small teleportation gate beneath Xiang Yunye’s manor, linking it directly to Kunlun Mountain—saving him commuting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Xian, the last to arrive in the inner universe, received the same treatment—a free fixed teleportation gate to the North Pole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way, Li Shimin was the biggest loser—he’d prepared first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But luckily, Lin Yu had promised: once Li Shimin crushed Cao Wei and Dong Wu and restored the old capital, he’d open a fixed teleportation gate between Chang’an and Chengdu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lin Yu had lured three more teachers into the cultivation academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their cultivation levels varied and their teaching skills weren’t stellar, for the academy’s current state, they were the best instructors Lin Yu could find!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, the three group members had experienced life as teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu finally listed all the serums and Zetaari tech on the group store, triggering a buying frenzy—within minutes, members spent half their points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin had the fewest points but bought the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He purchased ten vials of anti-aging serum alone—and even five vials of the Super Soldier Serum at ten points each, claiming he wanted to form his own new Five Tiger Generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days away, returning to the sparse-qi world of the Three Kingdoms left Li Shimin deeply uncomfortable—as if stepping from fresh-air countryside into a smog-choked factory, even breathing felt labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, pulled a spiritual stone from his storage pouch, and gripped it tightly—only then did he feel slightly better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the palace’s hidden chamber, he saw a reclining chair draped with a blanket—Zhuge Liang sat upon it, fully absorbed in state affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Shimin was deeply moved. He stepped forward and softly called:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang snapped back to awareness and rose quickly: “Your Majesty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin stepped forward to assist him, smiling: “Father, no need for formalities. I’ve been gone two days and dumped all duties on you—I should be the one apologizing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Liang chuckled: “Alleviating Your Majesty’s burdens is this old minister’s duty—how could the Emperor apologize to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, he paused, frowning slightly as he glanced at the young, handsome white-robed man behind Li Shimin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shimin noticed his gaze and immediately released his arm, smiling: “Father, don’t be startled. This man is Li Xian—my old servant when I was the True Lord Tianli.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that I’ve returned to Tianli Palace, Li Xian naturally follows me to the mortal realm—and will return to heaven once our great cause is complete!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1527,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","230b172e1ebe372c2553ce9e8f3b3b51020d99c3df92c5f08f0d0baf17719014","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-160","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-158",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
