1150: Chapter 1136: Seeds 1150: Chapter 1136: Seeds While Lu was still entangled in ow’s chaotic brawl, the island in the southern part of the continent, from where he had set off, quietly welcod its most esteed guest.
He ca alone, with no entourage, no advance notice, and even without using any ans of transportation.
As he set foot on the island, heavily guarded with a relaxed exterior but a tight interior security force, he disturbed no one.
“Arkur…” Only a low voice echoed in the forest.
“King Kui” Arkur, a deity who road the continent, had his na called out the mont he stepped into the forest.
“Yo, old senior, I’ve co to visit you,” he greeted with a smile.
This ti, the giant trees of the forest did not make way, for the visitor had no need of a path.
With a gentle step, the master’s massive form traversed spatial limits and arrived at the small lake that Lu Ping’an once reached.
There, unlike when Lu Ping’an visited, a colossal “shadow face” erged beneath the water.
The entire island in the middle of the lake was but part of his twin eyes, the imnse shadow like a phantom within a phantom, a giant beast that seed ready to break through the limits of the real universe at any mont.
With the manifestation of his will, the earth began to tremble slightly, followed by the appearance of a “world”-constituted face right on the spot.
Mr.
Liu hadn’t lied, he really hadn’t communicated using a “human” form in a long ti.
The reason he appeared before Lu Ping’an in “normal human form” previously might have been to avoid startling the junior, or perhaps because he worried that Lu Ping’an couldn’t handle the “reality”.
But there might also be a possibility that he wanted to use his “twin eyes” to observe the true “form” of this younger generation.
And now, the tall man facing the mountainous visage simply laughed.
“Ah, old senior, like this, the drinks I brought can’t be consud,” he said.
In a mont unknown to all, two of the four pillars of Lin Nu’s Church, two Quasi-Gods, actually t in secret…
If this were to be revealed, it would probably dominate the headlines, and many would suspect a conspiracy or a significant event about to unfold.
“…Talk business.
Is it him?”
And probably no one would guess that their private eting was rely for a young man who wasn’t even at the Rule-level…
“So, how is he?
Not bad, right?”
At that mont, Arkur, who had recomnded Lu Ping’an to this old senior, and even orchestrated that eting, spoke with a smile.
“Not bad,” ca the slow reply, a calm tone that seed like a perfunctory acknowledgnt.
But at that mont, it was Arkur’s turn to look surprised.
After all, even he himself was only a “passable” in the eyes of this old senior back in his day…
Even “Lin Nu” was rely described as “fairly good”.
What surprised him even more was the following statent.
“I have given him the ‘seed’…”
“Seed?!
You…
I see,” Arkur first gasped, then as if realizing sothing, silently nodded.
“This is a bold gamble, you are really willing to go for it.”
“We don’t have much ti left.
If we still hesitate to make our bets, in the end, it will all be a total loss.
How are things on your end?”
“…I will do my best to delay them, distract them, and ensure they do not hinder his advancent, but at most for four to five years.”
“That’s enough…
If that’s still not sufficient, he isn’t the one we’re looking for…”
It seed that enough was said and an understanding reached.
The colossal figure once again vanished above the island, leaving the “young” Quasi-God to smile wryly.
“Indeed, we don’t have much ti left…”

Lu, of course, had no idea about the “small matters” unfolding back in his old ho.
He was fiddling with a tiny mask while going about his daily work.
No matter what, he had beco a Tier 5 professional…
yet this peculiar Tier 5 profession virtually made no difference to his actual combat power.
“Everyone else enjoys the combat power boost from my Tier 5 status, yet I got nothing…”
Lu Ping’an pursed his lips, feeling sowhat helpless.
In other people’s eyes, however, he probably appeared to be acting coy after getting a bargain.
He certainly wouldn’t trade his Tier 5 Gardener (Life system) for any other Tier 5 Life system profession.
In reality, if he truly acted unscrupulously and began “reclaiming,” that would be a terrifying increase.
A quick calculation revealed that his leveling speed would outpace even a cheater’s…
but by the second day, he would probably enjoy being relentlessly hunted by countless professionals until death.
Now, the biggest help from the Tier 5 advancent was unlocking other paths for advancent…
Lu Ping’an could steadily gain another average increase.
But he wasn’t in a rush to advance just yet.
At this stage, he knew that “profession” didn’t represent everything; it was the underlying content that was key.
He invested most of his ti and energy in what seed like the pointless task of “practicing punches”…
Resonance, or rather Wave Martial Techniques, might just suit the upcoming battlefield environnt extrely well.
“We’re here to do business and logistics, why are you preparing for battle the mont we arrive?”
Lu Ping’an’s approach had been criticized by his companions, but judging by the incredibly high usage rate of the gym lately, many were probably just being hypocritical.
“Actually, we never intended to fight in the first few encounters…”
Soone accidentally voiced what everyone was thinking.
“How about we write a suggestion letter next ti, maybe a public request for opinions or sothing, and kick soone…
I an soone out?”
Indeed, there were even joking suggestions like this floating around in the team’s chat bar.
Everyone knew it was a joke, with soone probably just serving as a scapegoat.
After all, Explorers are “competitors” venturing out for their own and their ethnic group’s interests; with interest conflicts naturally co fights and even wars, which are sotis unavoidable…
But a group like the Rebirth Club, willing to fight to the death wherever they go, is very rare.
“Don’t bother with the suggestion letter.
In my experience, if soone really writes a request for opinions and holds a vote, with too many joking around, it could accidentally pass with a majority, and he could really get kicked out.”
Soone said this anonymously in the chat, making Lu Ping’an, who had admin rights, quite curious.
He checked and sure enough, it was the “bear soone” himself sharing his harrowing experience.
It seed like he was actually quite nervous.
Lu Ping’an chuckled, pondered for a mont, but decided not to remove the bear’s anonymity “bug.”
For now, the team’s morale was good.
The only problem seed to be that both the Courtyard and the Divine Boat lacked oceans or rivers.
Even if they wanted to prepare for water warfare, they lacked the necessary conditions.
During the journey, Lu Ping’an’s team was visibly growing stronger…
The birth, training, and growth of Newborns could materially increase Lu Ping’an’s upper limit.
The only trouble they had was the prerequisite of “Two Gold Coins,” which was proving to be too difficult to grind.
Lu Ping’an himself felt this was peculiar: before, everyone feared he would grind Gold Coins off them, and now they were frustrated by the lack of Gold Coins, nearly singing hymns around him every day…
“Indeed, professionals are too pragmatic…”
But Lu Ping’an did not dislike pragmatism; after seeing what happened to the Long Hand Clan, he thought there was nothing wrong with the pursuit of power.
And this journey might be the most relaxing and fulfilling one for Lu Ping’an yet.
Fulfilling because there was just so much to prepare, with the setup of the Chamber of Comrce and supply chains alone posing large challenges.
Relaxing because others were responsible for these tasks; Lu Ping’an only needed to sign off on them and select people to do the work.
Finally, as the items on the project list were completed one by one, the journey ca to an end at a new world filled with oceans.
