Chapter 17: South Murong Bo

Initially, seeing Li Li Lianhua prepare a bowl of Yangchun noodles for him, Seeing Jiumozhi was quite grateful.

However, looking at the super-luxurious instant noodles Li Li Lianhua had prepared for himself, Seeing Jiumozhi’s expression turned strange!

Looking at the noodles in the other person’s bowl and then at the plain noodles in his own, the difference was not just a little bit!

The beef, ham, eggs, and abalone in Li Li Lianhua’s bowl covered the entire surface; one could barely see the noodles underneath!

More importantly, Seeing Jiumozhi twitched his nose; a rich, fragrant scent wafted over, making his mouth water!

"What is it, National Master? Do you want to break your vow and taste these noodles?" Seeing Seeing Jiumozhi’s expression, Li Li Lianhua asked with a smile.

"Amitabha, Divine Physician Li, you joke!" Hearing this, Seeing Jiumozhi hurriedly lowered his eyes, forcing himself not to look at the super-luxurious instant noodles in Li Li Lianhua’s bowl.

However, even though he stopped looking, anyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that their fragrance is not something easily ignored!

"Hmm, I must say, I haven't eaten these in a long time. Tasting them occasionally, the flavor is still quite good!" Li Li Lianhua took a good bite of the instant noodles, feeling very satisfied.

"Divine Physician Li, you... how did you conjure these two bowls of noodles just now?"

After taking a bite of his own plain noodles, he felt that the Yangchun noodles, which had tasted quite good before, were now as tasteless as chewing wax. Seeing Jiumozhi spoke to distract himself.

"You can think of it as a treasure from the immortals. Whatever you want to eat, just say it!" Li Li Lianhua explained casually.

Although this Gourmet Tablecloth was magical, it was ultimately just a daily-use item, so there was nothing to hide.

"This... this is truly a treasure of the immortals!"

Thinking of the two bowls of noodles Li Li Lianhua had produced just by speaking, Seeing Jiumozhi nodded with emotion.

If it weren't a treasure of the immortals, how could it have such a miraculous effect?

"Li Li Lianhua, get out here!"

Just as he had finished most of the super-luxurious bowl of noodles, a roar suddenly rang out from outside the Lotus House!

"This is? What is going on?" Hearing the sound, Li Li Lianhua frowned slightly.

For no reason, it seemed an enemy had come knocking?

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Li Li Lianhua walked outside.

He saw an old man of about fifty or sixty years old glaring at him, the killing intent on his face undisguised!

"Are you the owner of the Lotus House, Li Li Lianhua?" Seeing Li Li Lianhua walk out, the old man asked directly.

"That is correct, it is me. Who are you?" Li Li Lianhua nodded and asked.

He did not recognize the old man before him at all.

"I will let you die with your eyes closed—I am South Murong Bo!" the old man replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged toward Li Li Lianhua, and at the same time, a finger containing a rich aura pointed toward the center of Li Li Lianhua’s brow!

If this finger landed, even a steel plate would likely be pierced through, and his head would naturally be pierced as well.

Li Li Lianhua’s heart tightened, and he reflexively raised his arm.

At the same time, the Block skill was activated!

South Murong Bo’s Finger of Participation had been cultivated to a very profound level, and his cultivation had reached the Grandmaster realm.

This finger, pointing at Li Li Lianhua’s arm, should have been able to shatter his arm bone!

However, the Block ability was activated, and the finger was blocked. Far from injuring Li Li Lianhua, it didn't even make him sway.

"Sigh, my internal energy from the 'Slow Yangzhou' has only recovered by thirty percent. To fight South Murong Bo, one of the Four Greats of Tianlong, I need to recover at least eighty percent of my power!"

Although he had blocked South Murong Bo’s Finger of Participation with his god-like blocking skill, Li Li Lianhua shook his head silently in his heart as he felt the power behind the opponent’s strike.

While his cultivation at the Innate realm was considered high in the Daxi Jiang Hu, it was still a far cry from a Grandmaster-level expert at the level of the Four Greats!

"Hmm? This, this guy..."

While Li Li Lianhua was sighing inwardly, the one who was truly shocked was South Murong Bo!

Originally, with his Grandmaster-level cultivation and the use of the Finger of Participation, South Murong Bo felt that Li Li Lianhua should be dead or crippled by his strike!

Yet, he never expected the other party to block his strike, and without even swaying!

As he pointed his finger, he felt as if he had pointed at a great mountain!

Could it be? This Li Li Lianhua, at such a young age, had actually reached the Grandmaster realm?

With thoughts racing, South Murong Bo decided it was unlikely. He changed his finger into a palm and struck out with a move from the Shaolin Temple’s Prajna Palm!

"Amitabha, Elder South Murong, please stop!"

However, at this moment, a Buddhist chant rang out. Seeing Jiumozhi walked out and raised his hand, sending a blade of Flame Blade energy toward South Murong Bo, forcing him to defend himself!

(Flowers? Tickets?)

"National Master, you are here too?"

Under the threat of the Flame Blade energy, South Murong Bo had no choice but to retreat, then frowned as he looked toward Seeing Jiumozhi!

"Elder South Murong, this humble monk is overjoyed to hear the news that you are still alive!" Seeing Jiumozhi pressed his palms together, a sincere smile appearing on his face.

"National Master, is this how you treat an old friend?" South Murong Bo demanded.

"Back then, Elder South Murong Bo offered this humble monk guidance, for which I am eternally grateful, and I have regarded you as a soulmate for life!"

"However, no matter who you strike, this humble monk will stand on your side without hesitation!"

"But, Divine Physician Li Li Lianhua has saved my life, and I cannot sit idly by while anyone strikes at him. I hope you will understand, Elder!"

Seeing Jiumozhi walked to Li Li Lianhua’s side and stated his position.

"So? In Seeing Jiumozhi’s heart, does my importance now even surpass that of South Murong Bo?"

Hearing Seeing Jiumozhi’s firm stance of standing by his side, Li Li Lianhua sighed inwardly!

So? Even though Seeing Jiumozhi appeared as a villain, this man was truly worth knowing; when there was trouble, he really stepped up.

Even against South Murong Bo, he would stand his ground!

"National Master, thank you for your kindness. However, even if he is at the Grandmaster realm, it is not so easy for him to kill me!"

Li Li Lianhua stepped forward two paces, having no intention of hiding behind Seeing Jiumozhi!

As he spoke, Li Li Lianhua raised his palm, and a cyan flame burned in his hand, condensing into the shape of a lotus flower.

It was precisely Li Li Lianhua’s Green Lotus Core Flame!

As the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared, a terrifying heat radiated from the flame, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply in an instant!

"That, what kind of flame is that!" Looking at the Green Lotus Core Flame in Li Li Lianhua’s hand, Seeing Jiumozhi was secretly shaken!

His own Flame Blade energy could emit scorching heat, but...
