Chapter 230: Chapter 229, Formidable Opponent Appears Upon hearing Xu Wendong’s words, Su Li, who had been dispirited and listless, suddenly had a gleam of light in her eyes. Yes! The geographical conditions of Azure Dragon Mountain were excellent; calling it a natural oxygen bar was not an exaggeration. Renting out Azure Dragon Mountain could not only solve the problem posed by the wolf pack but also bring a considerable income to Azure Dragon Mountain. After all, the cost of renting land couldn’t compare to renting a mountain. "Xu Wendong, you’re truly my lucky star, I love you to death!" Su Li exclaimed excitedly, squeezing Xu Wendong’s face and then kissing him. This action came from the heart. Because she knew that the reason the persimmons and hawthorns from Qingshan Village could be sold was that Xu Wendong had helped find buyers. As for Huang Ruirui coming here to lease ten thousand acres of land, it was also Xu Wendong who made the introductions. Xu Wendong gave a mischievous grin, "Secretary Su, don’t thank me with simple words, it lacks sincerity. If you really want to repay me, then offer yourself to me!" Su Li blushed and retorted jokingly, "Go play by yourself, is your head full of nothing but dirty thoughts?" Xu Wendong put on a serious face and said, "Comrade Su, I must say a few words to you, your thinking isn’t right! What do you mean my head is full of dirty thoughts?" "No, no, no!" "It’s your heart that’s not clean, which is why you think that matter is dirty." "But it’s not like that for me." "That is the most important and sacred part of human reproduction." "We shouldn’t view our reproductive process through tinted glasses, it’s not only an insult to ourselves but also to our parents." "Because it was through what you perceive as a dirty act that you were born." Su Li was rendered speechless. Xu Wendong continued, "Moreover, the saying goes, ’A fair lady, a gentleman desires,’ we’re at the age full of youthful vigor. At this age, shouldn’t we be doing the things of our age? It’s in line with our mindset at this age!" "You can’t wait until you’re old to do such things, right?" "Even if I want to do it at eighty, I don’t know if I’ll be up for it." "However, if at eighty, Secretary Su still looks like you do now, I’d be sure to look up to you." Su Li was amused by Xu Wendong’s serious way of speaking and laughed, "You’re so slick, tell me, have you sweet-talked many young girls with that mouth of yours?" "With all honesty, I have never sweet-talked any young girl, or may I get struck by lightning!" Xu Wendong pledged earnestly, raising his right hand. There was something he didn’t say: he wasn’t fond of young girls, he preferred older sisters, married women, and young widows!!! "I’m not bothering with you anymore, I’ll go talk with the village chief about this matter." Su Li left the temporary village committee office blushing; she was a bit afraid of being alone with Xu Wendong. Afraid she would lose herself in front of him. Although she knew after achieving prosperity, she was meant to fulfill her previous promises. But she genuinely wasn’t ready yet. Nightfall came. Su Li didn’t return for dinner. She called to say she was eating at the village committee, and Xu Wendong didn’t bother to cook. He just made a cup of instant noodles and ate two sausages for dinner. It wasn’t that he was too lazy; it’s just that he felt there was no need to cook when eating alone, it was better to keep it simple. Of course, a meal of instant noodles with sausages wasn’t simple for his past self. Back in middle school, his rations were pancakes and pickles, and he only splurged on instant noodles when improving life, but never paired them with sausages. After eating. He went to the top of the bungalow, sat cross-legged, and began to silently recite the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, absorbing the spiritual energy of the world into his body. The Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique was a remarkably powerful cultivation technique. When a man and woman combined, it could enhance the cultivator’s strength; however, even without doing that, it could still absorb nature’s spiritual energy, though the effect wasn’t as notable as dual cultivation. The countryside night was very quiet, with no sound of traffic, only the calls of unknown insects ringing around. Yet this sound wouldn’t make one feel noisy at all, rather, it made the heart as calm as water. Especially the splendid starry sky was overwhelmingly beautiful, a sight unseen in the city. After a while of cultivation, Xu Wendong finished cultivating and exhaled a breath of foul air. This session brought no substantial progress, but it did make his True Qi within firmer. "What is the origin of this ring?" Xu Wendong looked at the Obsidian Ring on his thumb; under the night sky, it even reflected the twinkling stars above. "Could it be the legendary storage treasure?" Xu Wendong thought of essential items for cultivators, with his eyes brightening instantly. He then bit his left index finger, letting the blood drip onto the Obsidian Ring. As a cultivator, Xu Wendong was well aware of the concept of ’blood recognition,’ which said some treasures could only be used through blood recognition; this wasn’t limited to storage treasures, but also applied to other magical treasures. Xu Wendong held his breath. Yet, his heartbeat was accelerating. If this Obsidian Ring was indeed a storage treasure, he’d hit the jackpot. Though it was something he was keeping for Elder Qin. But he could still use it, couldn’t he? He watched intently as the drop of blood fell onto the Obsidian Ring, yet it didn’t absorb the blood. "False alarm!" Xu Wendong’s face was full of dismay. Then he thought of another way, slowly closed his eyes, and silently infused his spiritual energy into the Obsidian Ring. There were two ways to gain recognition of a magical treasure, the first was blood recognition, and the second, was using spiritual energy to gain acknowledgment. Compared to the former, the latter was of a higher grade. However. Even though Xu Wendong injected spiritual energy into the Obsidian Ring, he found no other space inside. "This is just a simple ring, not the magical treasure I imagined!" Xu Wendong was a bit disappointed, but he didn’t dwell on it for long, considering the Obsidian Ring wasn’t his in the first place. At that moment. He suddenly raised his head and looked around, his profound eyes becoming very solemn, flickering with an unmistakable sharpness. As a cultivator, he distinctly sensed a significant change in the environment. Such changes might not be perceivable to ordinary people, for the environment wouldn’t change. Yet Xu Wendong distinctly perceived that everything around him was remarkably quiet, a quietness that stirred an intense uneasiness in the heart, as the unknown insects’ calls abruptly halted. Living in the countryside, Xu Wendong was well aware of how abnormal this was, given the continuous insect calls throughout a summer or early autumn night. With the insect calls ceasing abruptly around him, only one explanation remained. A powerful presence had appeared! The corners of his mouth gently lifted, and his voice carried a hint of inexplicable excitement, "Since you have come, why hide in the shadows?"
