Yang Qinglan seemed to know what he was thinking, and she smiled beautifully. Using the Ruyi in her arms, she knocked his leg.

For some reason, Li Qianxia thought of the scene of Yang Qinglan flipping through Li Changzhou's information booklet at night. She flipped through it with her own hands, unlike other people's booklets who flipped through them in mid-air.

She had never used the Ruyi she held in her arms to touch anything either.

As he thought about it, Li Qianxia chuckled, feeling like he had just witnessed a lovey-dovey scene from a romance novel.

How sharp Yang Qinglan was! She glanced at him and then straightened herself, resuming the elegant demeanor of a literary girl, the ethereal quality of the Gu She Divine Woman, and the authority of an elder sister.

"If you think you can do it, you'd have to become a woman!" Bi continued relentlessly, "Right, with your looks, you'd definitely look good in women's clothes, so take them off!"

"...Can you not mess around?"

"Qian Xia, I'll take off his shirt, and you take off his pants!"

"...Umm, I admit I have a bit of a crush on my brother, but I'm not a brother-complex, much less that kind of brother-complex, Qing Lan, I'll leave his pants to you! I'll help you by holding down his legs!"

"Can you not mess around?" Yang Qinglan smiled.

Bi muttered to herself and, together with Li Qianxia, settled down properly.

As chilly as water that seems cold enough to cut through skin.

Both of them were scared, but Turquoise Pool was not. Just as she was about to speak up and strike at Yang Qinglan's prestige, Li Changzhou said, "Alright, let's finish dividing the things quickly."

Turquoise Pool glanced at him.

Among the remaining items, the important ones were only the Seven Beasts Saber of Duke of Thunder, the Feng Shui Master's compass, and the cultivation methods of the Mystic Snake Primordial Spirit, White Lotus Primordial Spirit, Duke of Thunder Primordial Spirit, and Hundred Treasures Primordial Spirit.

Of these, the Seven Beasts Saber was the most precious, followed by the Hundred Treasures Primordial Spirit — the compass should be quite powerful, but no one knew how to use it, nor could they find any Daoist books on Feng Shui from Liao Wenzheng.

There was nothing much to say about the method of cultivating the Primordial Spirits; those who were interested could just jot it down. Only the Seven Beasts Saber had to be kept on oneself to be exchanged after the game ended if desired.

"It matches well with my Green Bird. I'll take it."

"Why do you want everything?!" Bi couldn't stand Turquoise Pool's behavior anymore.

"Yes, I want everything." Turquoise Pool replied with a lazy, casual smile.

"No way! This one is mine!"

"As for merit, I distracted three people, more than you did."

"You already took a lot!"

"Because my contribution was greater."

"Even if your contribution was greater, what you've taken is enough!"

"It's you who have taken too much, remembered so many cultivation methods of our Xia Country from the Storage Bag of Duobao Zhenren, now think about it, what have you done? Riding a motorcycle back and forth a few times."

"...It's a mecha." Li Qianxia corrected quietly.

In this matter, she, Li Changzhou, and Yang Qinglan had no say — prior to this, Li Changzhou had spent all their Game Coins on improving his skills — paupers had no right to fight over the Seven Beasts Saber that was clearly of great value.

Li Changzhou took hold of Yang Qinglan's hand and gently squeezed it.

— I'm sorry to let you down. When we have more money, you can buy whatever you want.

Her hand was smooth and soft.

Yang Qinglan pinched him back.

— You're going to get us killed, in front of so many people. (Li Qianxia translated while fixating on them.)

In the end, the Seven Beasts Saber still went to Turquoise Pool, but she also promised to exchange extra "Peach Blossom Paste," "Jade Marrow Pill," and "Human Pill" for Bi when they got out.

As a royal princess, Bi also had NPC relatives that she needed to take care of.

After dividing the loot, Turquoise Pool and Bi issued commands to their subordinates at the Forbidden City on Earth to torment the Jiajing Emperor, and the five of them began a ten-day closed-door session.

Though they called it a closed-door session, it was more akin to a discussion.

The five of them researched Mystic Water and heavy water together, sharing their views and experiences.

When many contribute their efforts, the flames rise high; even Li Changzhou, with his "Concentration," felt that he gained a lot during this time.

The other four felt even more what it meant to make rapid progress.

Li Changzhou was constantly coming up with new ideas, embarking on different experiments.

The refinement of Mystic Water and heavy water progressed smoothly, and many other techniques were derived in the process.

It was an interesting experience — getting along with friends who cooperated on a task which, while somewhat challenging, was advancing steadily.

Li Qianxia and Bi, always a bit unconventional, also focused exceptionally well in such an atmosphere, entering a state similar to "Concentration."

In fact, anyone can reach "Concentration," but it is difficult to do so and not possible to reach the depth that the skill allows.

But whether it's a skill or not, concentration unleashes scary potential, and one often does things that even they find surprising.

Except for Li Changzhou, who occasionally returned to Earth for oxygen and covertly looked through Daoist Books in the inner treasury, they did not leave the Moon for ten days.

He was also the first to grasp the essence of Mystic Water, fusing it into his body and combining it with the kidney waters.

Of course, they did not forget their task. After consulting the classics and pooling their wisdom, they also had some ideas for utilizing the Dragon Vein.

During these ten days, Li Changzhou's "abilities" improved significantly, and within these days, the Jiajing Emperor truly felt each day was like a year.

From the first day Li Changzhou left, he actually began to regret it a bit.
