Chapter 22: Luck Runs Out
"Husband, you are back."

When she got home, Zhou Mei threw herself directly onto Li Zhi.

Li Zhi held her and turned around twice before putting her down and said, "We're back. The house in our hometown has been renovated. When the New Year comes, our family can go back and live there."

Zhou Mei smiled and nodded, then boasted: "Go and see our two little babies. They both call me mommy now."

Li Zhi said: "That's because I'm not at home. If I were at home, they would definitely learn to call me dad first."

Then he went straight to the children's room, where the two children were taking a nap.

Li Zhi did not disturb them. He just took a look at the bed and went downstairs.

Back in the living room, Zhou Mei seemed a little disgusted and said, "It's so dirty, why don't you go wash it quickly."

Li Zhi pulled Zhou Mei and said, "Come with me."

Zhou Mei blushed and said, "There's someone at home."

Li Zhi said: "They won't bother us."

Afterwards, the two of them took a bath together.

Soon, Li Zhi, feeling relaxed, and Zhou Mei, looking happy, returned to the living room.

Li Zhi asked, "Is there anything going on at home recently?"

Zhou Mei said: "There is nothing going on at home, and the company is running well. Brother Dapeng is very responsible and has helped me share a lot of work."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "If there is anything you can't handle in the future, let Brother Dapeng do it. He knows what to do."

Li Zhi arranged Li Dapeng to work in his family's company, not to let him really come to work, but to let him protect Zhou Mei.

To this end, Li Zhi has already paid 5 million in advance as a resettlement fee, and will receive a bonus of 1 million for each matter handled in the future.

For Li Dapeng, who had been a scout for five years, there was no problem at all in his ability.

Then, Li Zhi asked again: "Has Ye Fan come to my house to see me recently?"

Zhou Mei said: "I came here twice, but I heard that you were building a house in your hometown, so I didn't bother you."

Recently, he has been busy studying the newly acquired skills and cultivation experiences, as well as trying to activate the Wanyu Furnace. In addition, he is building a house in his hometown, which makes Li Zhi extremely busy. He almost forgot about Ye Fan.

He didn't know the exact time when the Nine Dragon Coffin would land.

The specific time of the arrival of the Nine Dragons Coffin can only be calculated based on Ye Fan’s activities.

If you miss the time, it will be too late to regret.

Among so many people on Mount Tai, only Ye Fan and his classmates were sucked into the bronze coffin. The only foreigner who had nothing to do with Ye Fan was a friend brought by Li Xiaoman.

It can be said that it is indirectly related to Ye Fan.

As for the other people on the Jade Emperor Peak, none of them had the chance to ride on the Nine Dragon Coffin.

There is not even one exception.

If you say this is a coincidence, Li Zhi would never believe it even if you kill him.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi tried every means to establish a good relationship with Ye Fan.

Then Zhou Mei said, "Your little brother Ye Fan has recently got a very beautiful girlfriend and brought her home."

Li Zhi asked curiously, "That guy finally got it? He stopped working and started looking for a girlfriend. What's his girlfriend's name?"

Zhou Mei said, "Call her Xu Qiong."

Counting the time, Ye Fan has graduated from university for two years.

There is only about a year left before the Nine Dragons Coffin descends on Earth.

A sense of urgency immediately arose in Li Zhi's heart.

There is not much time left on Earth, and "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" is still missing the most important Sendai volume.

Li Zhi felt that he had to get the complete scripture before the Nine Dragons Coffin descended on Earth.

This kind of martial arts technique, which can extend his lifespan by one third compared to others, seems to be tailor-made for him.

For an ordinary person like him who has almost no chance to obtain the complete Emperor's Scripture, the quasi-Emperor-level scripture "Innate Longevity Skill" may be the best skill he can get before he grows up.

Especially this kind of practice that continuously strengthens one's own vitality and purifies the wheel of life is even more rare.

Maybe it's really worth taking the risk to visit the Great Sage Cave on Mount Tai.

Fortunately, he got the correct map from the saint's cave in Baixiantai, so he didn't need to rush around trying to find his location.

Moreover, the Earth is in the Dharma Ending Period at this time, and the essence of heaven and earth is almost gone. The formation outside the Great Sage's cave residence will definitely not be able to withstand the suppression of the aura of the Dharma Ending Period.

Perhaps because of the dissipation of its vital energy, it no longer has any power.

Just like the saint's cave at the Qinling Baixiantai, it had shrunk to the point of being on the verge of collapse. After he took away the Wanyu Furnace, the cave collapsed directly.

Now may be the best time to explore the Great Sage's Cave.

Once the spiritual energy on Earth revives in the future, perhaps the formation outside the cave will also recover its power. By then, it will not be easy to get in.

Of course, there is no rush.

I stayed at home with Zhou Mei, Xiao Jizu and Xiao Xianer for more than a month, and then celebrated the two little ones' first birthday.

He also invited Ye Fan and his girlfriend Xu Qiong to attend the birthday party of Li Jizu and Li Xianer.

At the banquet, seeing Li Zhi looking good, Ye Fan asked curiously: "Brother Li, have you made any new gains in the past few months?"

Li Zhi said: "It's still the same."

Ye Fan asked curiously: "I heard that Brother Li, you spent 10 million to buy a volume of exercises?"

Li Zhi's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Who told you that?"

Ye Fan smiled and said, "I heard from a friend that an old man named Xu was selling ancient martial arts for 10 million yuan, and there really was a fool named Li Zhi who took the bait. I guess the person they called the fool might be you, Brother Li."

Li Zhi said: "Five million, I will sell you a copy of the technique, do you want it?"

Ye Fan simply shook his head and said, "I'd better forget it. It's another technique that can't be practiced. There's no use for me buying it."

The breathing method and the beginning chapter of the Longevity Technique that Ye Fan practiced had some effect in the beginning, but now, they have no effect at all.

This made him full of doubts about this martial art that was said to have been passed down from ancient times.

Then, Li Zhi asked again: "When do you plan to marry your girlfriend?"

Ye Fan said: "Wait another two years."

Li Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't wait and see nothing happen."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "No, my parents like Xu Qiong very much. When we have a child in the future, I will bring my parents over to live with us. Then, let these two little guys from your family take him to play."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Definitely."

After the birthday party, Li Zhi and his family returned to Dali Village and lived there for a while. At the same time, he placed the Wanyu Furnace, which had been unable to be activated, into a secret room.

It is the size of a fist, but weighs more than 400 kilograms, which is too conspicuous.

It would be better to wait until the sea of ​​suffering is opened up in the future, cultivate magical powers and then sacrifice and refine it.

After returning to the city, he took the Luoyang shovel and snakeskin bag and went to Mount Tai alone.

At the same time, the large tomb under the vegetable greenhouse was finally discovered.

Shortly after the local archaeological team intervened, Mr. Xu learned of the death of his third son.

In the Xu family ancestral hall, Old Mr. Xu, the eldest son Xu Jian'an, who had just been released from prison, and the second son Xu Jisheng, secretly discussed the matter again.

"Dad, the third son's death is definitely related to that Li Zhi." The second son Xu Jisheng said with certainty.

"I was deceived by him before. He is not a member of the Li family at all. Maybe you are right. He is involved in the death of the third son." A trace of pain for losing a son flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes.

"But Dad, we don't have any information about him except for an overseas bank account." The eldest brother Xu Jian'an said with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

Mr. Xu said: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be bought with money. As long as we are willing to spend money, we will definitely be able to find his whereabouts."

"That guy is probably a ruthless person. If he finds out we are looking for him, will it bring disaster to our family?" The eldest brother Xu Jianan said with some concern.

"Brother, you are always hesitating. Now the facts are obvious. The third brother must have found something in the tomb, so he was killed to silence him. Didn't you listen to what the archaeological team said? It has been determined that there was a third party present at the scene. It must be Li Zhi. He was the one who got the advantage." Xu Jisheng said.

"Dad, second brother, I still think it's better to take a long-term view on this matter. Our family is not that kind of powerful family. Even if we find that Li Zhi, what can we do? With his wealth, do we think we can defeat him?" After going to prison once, Xu Jian'an seemed to have lost his courage.

"Boss, what do you mean? That's a chance for immortality, and you're just going to watch it slip away?" Xu Jisheng stared at Xu Jian'an angrily.

Mr. Xu said, "There must be an explanation for the death of the third brother, but we must think of a safe way to do it."

Xu Jian frowned and said, "Dad, have you forgotten what happened to the Yao family? We really can't afford to get involved in this kind of thing."

At this moment, the voice of Xu Jian'an's daughter Xu Miaomiao was heard outside the ancestral hall.

"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle. A boss named Ke who looks very fierce came to our house and said he was looking for you."

"Boss Ke?" Xu Jian'an and Old Mr. Xu simultaneously turned their gaze to Xu Jisheng.

Xu Jisheng shook his head and said, "I don't know any Boss Ke."

"Let's go out and meet who this Boss Ke is."

Finally, it was Mr. Xu who spoke calmly.

At this time, Li Zhi, who had already entered the formation barrier, did not know that people who wanted to kill him had begun to appear one after another.

Moreover, after successfully entering the formation barrier outside the Great Sage's cave, things were far from as smooth as he had imagined.

In fact, it was foreseeable that Li Zhi would get into trouble.

If he had calculated the time carefully before entering the formation, he would have been surprised to find that the day he climbed Mount Tai was the day when the three years of good fortune he borrowed from the heavens expired.

It’s a pity that the smooth sailing in the past three years made Li Zhi subconsciously ignore this matter.
