Chapter 317: Passengers only need to jump off the car; it

Surely Daoist Shanqing couldn't have spent the entire forty minutes stuck on this one level, right?

The score was very low; that was impossible.

Moreover, Lin Li discovered that the progress bar for his task—making the old man feel happy—had barely moved during the "forty minutes" he was gone.

Compared to the same forty-minute duration when he was present, it had increased significantly less.

This meant that after Lin Li left, Daoist Shanqing hadn't been that happy.

"Grandpa, is this level very difficult? Are you stuck?" Lin Li asked with concern.

"Ah? Oh, no! I was just watching a documentary; I wasn't playing this," Daoist Shanqing replied immediately, looking up at the sky and speaking calmly.

A Great Expert is truly a Great Expert; even when feeling guilty, he appears profound.

Lin Li didn't notice a thing and found the excuse quite reasonable, but for the sake of the task, he continued to probe:

"Which one were you watching? Grandpa, you don't seem particularly happy. Did you encounter some difficulty? Tell me about it."

Daoist Shanqing: "(⊙︿⊙)"

Damn it, I can't say it out loud.

Bufan, this is all your fault, you lung-fog!

"……Not at all, you're overthinking it, Lin Li. I'm just exploring; it's quite interesting." Daoist Shanqing waved his hand, paused, looked at Lin Li, and spoke again: "By the way, Lin Li."

"Yes, go ahead."

"Among the materials you brought, is there any data related to the laws and regulations of your world?" Daoist Shanqing asked.

"Hmm? Grandpa…… what did you say?" Lin Li suspected he was hallucinating.

"I said, is there any data related to the laws and regulations of your world on these phones and computers? I want to read that." The old man pointed at the phone and computer and repeated himself.

"Eh?"

Grandpa, you're an old man who died in the cultivation world; why on earth do you want to understand the laws and regulations of our world?

"Grandpa, haven't you tested it already? You can't follow me to my world. May I ask why you want to see this?"

Lin Li asked his inner thoughts in a different way.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Shanqing turned his back to Lin Li, stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind, and gazed into the Forbidden Land with deep eyes:

"Heaven and Earth are the furnace, and Creation is the craftsman. I was just contemplating that although the laws of the other world differ from our Daoist methods, their origin lies in maintaining the balance of all things."

"Therefore, I wish to borrow the laws and regulations of your world to take a look, attempting to comprehend the mechanism of Heaven-Man resonance from them. Perhaps I can mend the broken laws of this world, eradicate the remnant souls of the Demon Race in advance, and fulfill our mission of the past hundred years."

What!

Lin Li:!!

I don't understand at all!! But! It sounds so impressive!!

At this moment, Lin Li's admiration for Daoist Shanqing reached its peak. Even under the temptation of phones and computers, his mind was still on Heaven and Earth, thinking about eradicating the remnant souls!

As expected of Daoist Shanqing, as expected of a Great Expert of the human race!

If one is to have a son, he should be like this old man!

Sensing the admiring gaze from behind, Daoist Shanqing felt somewhat fortunate that his body was one he had molded himself, so his ability to blush was completely under control; he didn't have to worry about his old face losing its composure.

"Grandpa, I understand!

It was my oversight before. I didn't download that, but next time, next time I return, I will definitely prepare it for you! I will contribute my part to your cause!"

Lin Li said solemnly.

This sounded quite reasonable; perhaps a Great Expert of the cultivation world could truly be inspired or even shocked by things from reality.

Isn't that how it's written in novels?

Wait.

Thinking of this, Lin Li suddenly stepped forward, walked to Daoist Shanqing's side, stood with his hands behind his back, his robes didn't move because there was no wind, and he gazed into the Forbidden Land with deep eyes:

"To establish a heart for Heaven and Earth, to establish a life for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of the past sages, and to create peace for all generations!"

Daoist Shanqing, who was preparing to respond regarding the laws and regulations: "(；o_o)?"

"Lin Li…… what are you doing……"

After Lin Li finished speaking, he looked around 360 degrees, but nothing happened.

He himself imagined a crow flying by, cawing six times.

"……"

Damn!

Novels are all lies!

When he said such awesome words, shouldn't there be purple clouds coming from the east, the earth shaking, the Heavenly Dao paying attention, golden light blooming, and him stepping into the Earthly Immortal realm in one stride?

Let an immortal touch my head and grant me eternal life!!

"Child, are you alright?" Daoist Shanqing reached out and touched Lin Li's forehead, saying with concern.

Lin Li: "……"

I got my wish ≥w≤.

Wish your mother!!!

What I wanted was to have my head touched to receive eternal life, not to have an immortal touch my head to check my temperature!!

Heartbroken, Lin Li waved his hand at Daoist Shanqing, his expression sad: "I'm fine, Grandpa, don't worry. Just assume I'm having an episode. My friends in reality are used to it; you can get used to it early too."

Daoist Shanqing: "……"

He felt even more guilty.

Lin Li was already a bit slow, and he was still lying to him.

Phew—fortunately, the laws in the Forbidden Land had already shattered, and there was no Heavenly Dao, so no Heavenly Tribulation could come down.

Otherwise, Daoist Shanqing would really be afraid that the Wujiu Lightning in the sky, which was derived from himself, would forget its roots and strike him directly.

"Lin Li, it would be best if the materials also include content on how to bypass laws and regulations, because I need to find experience from them. Only by breaking can there be establishment; I seek a path to survival through the loopholes."

But since he had already lost face, the old man added.

"No problem." Lin Li nodded.

"Good, good child." Daoist Shanqing nodded with gratification. "You've been in your world for several days now, have you accumulated any problems in your cultivation? Come and ask me."

Daoist Shanqing could only alleviate his guilt for lying to a fool in this way.

As for the fact that the time flow between the two worlds was different, Lin Li had told him before; he hadn't hidden it, and it was hard to hide anyway, as one could detect abnormalities through cultivation progress and the like.

And Daoist Shanqing accepted this setting very easily.

The vast world has everything; the cultivation world also has secret realms with similar time flows, it's just that they aren't as magical as Lin Li's, which can be centered around him.

"Yes, Grandpa, yes. I have at least nine questions like this." Lin Li immediately took out all his cultivation techniques and began to ask for advice on the problems he had encountered in his practice over the past few days.

……

Daoist Shanqing was a good teacher, always able to point out Lin Li's problems with pinpoint accuracy, making Lin Li benefit greatly.

"That's all, Grandpa. I've only accumulated this many for now. I've given them all to you. Thank you."

Although he wasn't lazy, Lin Li truly couldn't scrape together twenty hours of time spent on cultivation in four days.

Therefore, the accumulated problems were solved in less than half an hour.

"Helping each other, no need to be so formal." Daoist Shanqing felt a bit better.

"Grandpa, I forgot to ask before. May I ask about the strength and cultivation level divisions of this world?" After putting away his things, Lin Li asked this.

"Oh, you don't know this yet, do you……" Daoist Shanqing nodded upon hearing this. "Cultivation begins with Qi Refining, after Qi Refining comes Foundation Establishment……"

He finished listening.

Lin Li raised an eyebrow.

Just as the doomsday world is a very classic doomsday, and the zombie crystal core setting is very common or even ancient, the cultivation system of this world is also very classic.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Tribulation Crossing.

Qi Refining is divided into nine layers; Foundation Establishment is divided into early, middle, and late stages; Golden Core is divided into Void Core, Solid Core, and Golden Core; Nascent Soul includes Infant Transformation, Spirit Transformation, and Body Integration; Tribulation Crossing requires passing three disasters and nine tribulations.

Before Daoist Shanqing died, he was a Tribulation Crossing Great Expert who had passed two disasters and six tribulations.

"Grandpa, so am I at Qi Refining now?" Lin Li asked.

"Since you have stepped onto the path of cultivation and started absorbing spiritual energy, you are naturally at Qi Refining. As for which layer……" Daoist Shanqing came over and touched Lin Li's shoulder again, shook his head after sensing it: "I can't see it clearly, but judging by the external signs, you are probably around the third layer, approaching the fourth."

Third layer, huh.

Sure enough, he was still a pure rookie in the cultivation world.

"Grandpa, how long do you think it will take for me to reach Foundation Establishment at my current speed of absorbing spiritual energy?"

"Your talent is very good; your speed and sensitivity to spiritual energy are far beyond ordinary people. All the spiritual energy here is yours to take, which for you now is almost inexhaustible."

"Plus the assistance of this high-grade array, the Qi Refining realm is within your grasp. You only need to focus on absorbing it here for dozens of hours or even less."

"Your situation is actually very suitable for Qi Refining. After returning to your 'reality', your body can just use this long time to digest this spiritual energy, allowing you to absorb it freely again next time you come here, without worrying about the spiritual energy stagnating in your body."

"It's so good; we didn't have your conditions back then……"

After Daoist Shanqing gave a relatively vague answer, his expression was somewhat nostalgic.

Lin Li understood this kind of emotion.

Even though Lin Li was only eighteen, when he saw those first or second-grade elementary school students each holding a phone or tablet to play with, he would also want to sigh with such emotion.

Elementary school students should just be at the school gate with runny noses, eating spicy strips, and knocking other people's Ultraman cards with their own Ultraman cards, you bastard!!

And they have to play fake ones.

If they are about to lose while playing for real, they should quickly grab their cards back and run home, saying while running that Grandma is calling me for dinner, I'm not playing anymore, bye.

So, facing the old man's sigh, Lin Li just chuckled.

Then he calculated the time. According to Daoist Shanqing's words, Lin Li felt that if he worked hard, he might be able to complete Qi Refining within a month—in real-world time.

Take it slow; this cultivation speed was already quite fast.

Thus, for the remaining nearly six hours, Lin Li began to focus on absorbing spiritual energy.

Daoist Shanqing first used the paper and pen Lin Li brought to continue writing a portion of the cultivation technique content, which, according to him, was enough for Lin Li to study for a long time.

Then he continued his entertainment.

After playing Angry Birds for over an hour, he moved to the computer, began to familiarize himself with the keyboard and mouse, and started watching documentaries.

With headphones on, both sides didn't interfere with each other, and as before, they would communicate periodically.

……

Six hours passed, and the Forbidden Land remained bright; there was no distinction between day and night here.

Relying on the "Spirit Gathering Heavenly Array," he had accumulated a few bottles of spiritual liquid, and after going back, he could set aside one bottle to continue serving the "Qiankun Ring."

Now, if the space inside the ring were placed diagonally, that glowing double-headed dick could fit in, but unfortunately…… the child wants to provide for his parents, but they are gone.

Lin Li walked towards Daoist Shanqing.

The old man's learning speed was also very fast; not only did he recognize English letters, but he had even mastered typing.

Moreover, not knowing if he learned it from the documentary, Daoist Shanqing actually used spiritual energy to mold a recliner and a computer desk.

Now sitting comfortably on it, with potato chips and cola on both sides of the desk, lyrics scrolling on the computer, Daoist Shanqing, wearing headphones, swayed to the music, his expression relaxed.

Damn, this is the life Lin Li dreamed of for his own retirement.

Sensing Lin Li's approach, Daoist Shanqing took off his headphones and turned to look at him.

"Do you have questions?"

"No, Grandpa, I only have three minutes left, I have to go." Lin Li said with a smile. "You don't need to use headphones anymore; you can use the Bluetooth speaker to play it out loud. My personal suggestion is that you build another enclosed space; surround sound is even better."

"Oh oh, see you in an hour then." Daoist Shanqing nodded at Lin Li with a smile upon hearing this.

Then he turned his gaze back to the computer, opened Steam, and said with a smile: "Lin Li, Grandpa feels he's familiar enough now, I can play computer games."

"Just this what-d-a-r-k…… I still can't read it, it's the casual relaxation game "Dark Souls" you recommended to me, right! OK! Just tired of studying, I'll play this game to relax!"

Because there was no response, Daoist Shanqing turned his head back.

Lin Li was gone.

Eh? Didn't he say there were still three minutes? How did he just leave?

……

Returning home.

Lin Li was thinking about how he could avoid being beaten next time he went to the cultivation world.

He hoped Daoist Shanqing could successfully relax.

He made a list of things Daoist Shanqing hoped he would bring next time, things that needed to be prepared in advance, and he could place the orders now.

After buying some things on his phone, Lin Li exited Taobao and opened WeChat.

"Lin Li: Coach Yu, let's practice driving tomorrow."

"Yu Jianan: Sure, are you coming in the morning or the afternoon tomorrow?"

"Lin Li: Either is fine."

"Yu Jianan: Then come in the morning; there are more girls in the morning."

"Lin Li: ……Coach, I have a girlfriend."

"Yu Jianan: It's fine, it's all the same. So, come in the morning?"

"Lin Li: Sure."

"Yu Jianan: OK, see you tomorrow."

With six extra hours of waking time a day, Lin Li was already sleepy. He grabbed the bear's hand, patted its head, and fell asleep instantly.

……

Xiren Driving School.

Lin Li's mouth twitched slightly.

When Yu Jianan appeared, Lin Li stepped forward and asked through gritted teeth in a low voice: "Coach, are the girls you mentioned these aunts and grannies?"

To be honest, Lin Li wasn't interested in the "many girls" Yu Jianan mentioned, but he was still a bit curious and wanted to see what it was all about.

He came, he saw, he was stunned.

Among this group of girls, the youngest was probably a full cycle older than Lin Li.

Being three years older is like holding a gold brick, but being thirteen years older, well, sorry, but no.

Yu Jianan scratched his head upon hearing this and chuckled: "Because I told them there would be a handsome guy in the morning, so they were willing to come practice driving."

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

Damn!

So I'm not the fisherman, I'm the bait!

"And aren't they all quite fresh and lovely?" Yu Jianan smiled and patted Lin Li's shoulder. "Haven't you heard? Women, the older they get, the more charm they have, like mellow old wine, exuding that alluring fragrance."

"Eighteen-year-old girls are fresh and lovely, thirty-six-year-old girls are double fresh and lovely! Fifty-four-year-old girls are two-star fresh and lovely."

Lin Li: "……"

One look and I know—you play too much Auto Chess.

Wait until some monster deliberately blocks you from getting a few eighteen-year-old girls, not letting you make a three-star fresh and lovely, then you'll be honest.

Although he really wanted to say, who the hell has ever heard such bullshit.

But Lin Li felt that having too good a memory was sometimes a sin—he had truly heard these words from Bai Bufan's mouth, during the National Day holiday.

Bai Bufan was acting, but the coach didn't seem to be.

It is recommended to strictly investigate whether he has used his identity as a coach to go through the back door of the students.

"Just kidding, to liven up the atmosphere." Seeing Lin Li's increasingly strange expression, Yu Jianan smiled. "Let's go, let's practice driving. If you really need girls of a similar age, I'll introduce you later."

"No need."

The two arrived at the coach car.

Yu Jianan: "……Lin Li, why are you sitting in the passenger seat?"

Lin Li only then realized he had habitually sat in the passenger seat.

"I don't have a driver's license, I can't drive." But Lin Li never liked to speak human language, so he seriously spouted nonsense.

Yu Jianan: "……"

Lin Li moved to the driver's seat and scanned his face.

Yu Jianan then got into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and began to help Lin Li familiarize himself with the basic operations of the vehicle:

"The first thing you need to test for Subject Two is the seatbelt and rearview—"

But before he could finish, he saw that Lin Li had already done all the preparations before driving, smooth as flowing water, and had even started the engine.

After doing all this, Lin Li looked at Yu Jianan and said calmly: "Coach, fasten your seatbelt, I'm about to set off."

Yu Jianan: "?"

Why does it feel like I'm the student?

"S-sorry……" Yu Jianan, for a moment, didn't even know what to say.

After Yu Jianan fastened his seatbelt, Lin Li stepped on the gas and hit the road directly.

The accident Yu Jianan was worried about didn't happen; the car, currently in an empty area, was driving very steadily.

Completely unlike a novice.

"Lin Li, have you driven before?" Yu Jianan asked.

"Yeah, I drive often." Lin Li looked ahead and nodded.

"I thought you only memorized the theory. Where did you drive…… is it legal? Don't worry, I won't spread it." Yu Jianan asked in a low voice.

The reason he asked if it was legal was because in some countries, you can take the driver's license test at sixteen; perhaps Lin Li had driven abroad before.

"QQ, WeChat, Tieba, not very legal, in the gray area of the law, but it's allowed to be spread." Lin Li also replied in a low voice.

Yu Jianan: "?"

"What kind of driving is that, damn it!!"

It was indeed not very legal.

Remember, what is the ending of a hero?

Internet Tiga is like this; after sharing the light he possessed, he himself fell into darkness.

Teary-eyed.

"Just tell me if it's a car or not." Lin Li smiled.

Yu Jianan was a bit overwhelmed and scratched his head. The car had already entered the practice curve, but Lin Li was still very steady, and didn't seem to need much guidance.

"You're so experienced in driving…… I've already taken your tuition, I have to teach you something. How about this, I'll teach you how to choose a car." Yu Jianan thought for a moment and said.

Lin Li didn't know why Yu Jianan suddenly said this, tilted his head to look at him, somewhat puzzled.

He wasn't planning on buying a car anyway.

"Lin Li, many young people nowadays only have eyes for the headlights, thinking that big headlights are good, and the trunk and such don't matter. But I'll tell you from the experience of someone who's been there, that's absolutely not the case."

"For a car, the trunk is really important. If the trunk is big, it has good shock absorption, and you can confidently step on the gas to the floor every time, greatly increasing the drivability."

"And this headlight thing, it's actually just for the novelty. Once the car has been driven for a long time and it ages and turns yellow, the headlights shaking back and forth is actually not aesthetically pleasing……"

Yu Jianan said slowly.

Lin Li: "?"

The car wheels are rolling over your own face, damn it!

What kind of car is this, damn it!

"Coach, you'd better be talking about how to choose a car!" Lin Li chuckled.

No wonder Yu Jianan could be a coach; he was indeed someone who knew how to drive.

"Really, it's experience." Yu Jianan patted his chest: "The trunk is really much more important than the headlights, really."

"Sigh, wouldn't it be better to have both." Lin Li said indifferently.

"You can't have your cake and eat it too, Lin Li. The helplessness of an adult, you need to experience it as soon as possible." Yu Jianan looked at this child who didn't know the ways of the world and smiled.

"Coach." Lin Li also smiled.

"Hmm?"

"I have forty million."

"……Hmm? Forty million what, Happy Beans?" Yu Jianan asked hopefully.

"RMB."

Yu Jianan: "……"

There was some silence in the car, only the continuous beeping sound because Lin Li was reversing into a parking space.

The car stopped steadily, and Yu Jianan suddenly opened the door.

——"How the hell am I supposed to live like this? I'm jumping!!"
