I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 104 Du Fu is able to move
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Li Yan picked up a large calligraphy brush and dipped it in ink.

The brush moves swiftly and gracefully on the spread-out Xuan paper.

He wrote large characters, each stroke like a sword drawn from its sheath, carrying the hardness of war, yet upon closer inspection, it also possessed the resilience of pine and bamboo.

"Cursive script!"

Ye Hui's gaze sharpened for a moment, then she continued reading.

The ink spreads across the rice paper like rippling waves, yet is perfectly controlled within a specific area.

The flowing, graceful handwriting gives one a sense of detachment and tranquility.

But looking at the handwriting alone, there was no such thing, so Ye Hui knew that this was Li Yan's own unique rhythm.

Four large characters and four desks, arranged in one continuous stroke from right to left.

Li Yan paused, then, with his wrist suspended, wrote a line of small regular script characters in the lower left corner, indicating his name and class.

Then he put down his pen and said, "All done."

"Wow! So handsome!" Lin Yufan, being the straightforward person she was, exclaimed immediately.

"Huh~" The girls around her exclaimed in surprise, but none of them objected.

Mei Mengqian's eyes lit up, and she rarely spoke out in agreement.

"It looks good."

"What's so good about it? What kind of handwriting is this? It's so messy, I can't understand it at all."

Standing behind, sports committee member Liu Ming could see the writing on the table even without getting close, and immediately let out a sneer.

"Xiao Ming, you don't understand, do you?" Ye Daijia said, "This is my brother Yan's cursive script. You're too big and clumsy to appreciate it. Come on, let me read it to you!"

Upon hearing this, almost half of the students looked at him.

They could roughly recognize the four characters Li Yan wrote, but when put together, they hesitated.

Ye Daijia's confident and discerning demeanor immediately drew everyone's attention.

Ye Daijia pointed to her seat and loudly read, "Du."

"Du Fu can move!"

After reading it, he commented with a hint of lingering interest, "It feels so strange, Li Yan, are you playing with abstract concepts?"

"Alright, Ye, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Class monitor Ye Hui interrupted, her gaze sweeping over everyone.

"As you can see, this calligraphy was written from right to left. Most calligraphy is written this way."

"Hey, class monitor, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what Li Yan wrote," Guo Cailing said.

She was the first to admit that she was uneducated, and everyone else followed suit.

"These four words are: diligence can make up for lack of talent."

Ye Hui's face remained expressionless as she calmly said, "I think this statement is very suitable for some people in the class."

After he finished speaking, the bell rang, and the biology teacher walked in to supervise the evening self-study session.

He saw the second row of desks and was immediately stunned.

Then I went over and took a closer look.

"Tsk tsk, not bad for the class monitor, the handwriting has style!"

Li Junlong took a sip from his thermos, his face full of admiration, and commented with an air of seriousness.

"Your writing style is vigorous and youthful, but the pauses and intonations lack composure; you need more practice! However, for someone your age, it's good enough!"

His comments immediately stunned everyone in the class.

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged as he suppressed the sullen Mei Mengqian.

"The teacher is right, I need to practice more."

Li Junlong was very satisfied and continued to offer guidance:
"Not only do you need to refine your skills, but you also need to improve your literary talent. You think Du Fu can move? What kind of talk is that?"

"Kukukuku!!"

Suddenly, a sound like a tractor filled the classroom.

It's a bit hard for everyone to hold back their laughter. Turns out, you were just pretending all along!
Class monitor Ye Hui is sometimes quite straightforward, and upon hearing this, she corrected her.

"Teacher Li, starting from the right, this saying is 'Diligence can make up for lack of talent'."

Upon hearing this, Li Junlong almost choked on his own saliva.

He coughed twice suddenly and said earnestly:

"How could I not know? I was just testing your honesty. It seems the class monitor still needs to learn more from the class leader!"

After he finished speaking, he went back to the podium.

A burst of quiet laughter erupted from the back row.

"It's hilarious! Li Junlong is just like Ye Daijia, he can't even pretend properly."

Xiao Shuai slapped his thigh and looked around.

"Brother Bin, Li Junlong is too ashamed to come down and wander around, shall we duo queue?"

"Come on! But wait a minute, I'm almost done writing this calligraphy piece."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai glanced at his desktop and was immediately shocked.

"No, Brother Bin, how come your handwriting is so good?"

"Because the first place winner gets 200 yuan, and I just happen to be missing a Luna skin."

Yu Bin spoke calmly, then wrote the last line of regular script.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Wei and Ma Liang looked over and were immediately awestruck.

"Wow, it's just like a printer."

"Brother Bin, you don't usually write like this."

Yu Bin replied matter-of-factly, "If I'm going to take action, it must be for something of value."

Xiao Shuai admitted that he was surprised by him, "Brother Bin, you've finished writing too, come and rank yourselves."

Li Yan became interested; he hadn't played ranked matches with anyone in a long time. He turned around and said:
"Add me one."

"no problem."

Yu Bin immediately agreed, and even hoped that Li Yan would come along.

After all, under the strict management of the homeroom teacher, who is known for his strict discipline, the privileges of being the top student in the grade are beyond question.

"What is Brother Yan playing?"

"Archer".

"Then I'll play a support role," Yu Bin said, picking Cai Wenji.

"Then I'll go mid," Xiao Shuai said, choosing Bian Que.

Yu Bin is a very skilled gamer. With his support, Li Yan quickly developed his character and completely overwhelmed the opposing team.

But Xiao Shuai couldn't do it; the enemy's mid-lane Diao Chan completely suppressed him.

Fortunately, he played consistently and extremely cautiously in the top lane. "Damn it, where's the jungler? I'm about to be ganked to death by the enemy mid laner and jungler," Xiao Shuai said.

"Hang in there, we're here to help you."

"Damn it! The monkey's just sitting in the bushes AFK, not coming out to help me, I'm dead!"

As Xiao Shuai spoke, he opened the team voice chat and unleashed a flurry of attacks, then slammed his phone down, instantly ripping out his earphone cord.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to turn off the sound.

He didn't turn on the game music, so there's no need to worry for now, but the game sound effects were on.

If a system announcement suddenly came on, he'd be dead!
Just then, a series of snapping sounds suddenly rang out from Xiao Shuai's seat.

"Ah!! Ah!!!!"

The wailing and howling of ghosts rang out, and it was painful to hear.

"Snapped!"

Another loud thud, followed by a man's roar:
"Playing games? I told you to play games! You didn't do your homework, you got zero on your test, are you still going to play?!"

"Ah!!! I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore!!"

The sound of a child wailing could be heard.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me! I'm not playing anymore, waaaaah~"

The sound quickly faded, and Xiao Shuai looked at the podium. Everyone looked at Xiao Shuai with strange expressions, wanting to continue listening.

Li Yan sent a candle emoji and put his phone away.

Yu Bin also sighed and comforted the monkey.

"Don't be sad, little friend, your brother Bian Que is going to have his phone confiscated too."

Li Junlong put down his thermos and came downstairs, saying:
Hand over your phone!

Xiao Shuai didn't move.

"Give it to me now, and you can take it back. But what if your homeroom teacher finds out?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai immediately stood up in a panic and handed over his phone.

"Teacher Li, please don't give your phone to the homeroom teacher!"

Li Junlong nodded, pressed the volume button, but there was no sound.

He looked down and almost got so angry he almost twisted his nose.

Model machine!!

Li Junlong slammed his phone on the table and glared at Xiao Shuai.

"A model machine! Trying to fool the teacher! Looks like I'll have to tell your homeroom teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai immediately became anxious.

"Teacher, please stop! I'm turning it off."

Xiao Shuai quickly bowed and apologized, then took the model machine over and handed a cell phone to Li Junlong.

Li Junlong nodded, saw the screen light up, and left, saying, "I'll ask your homeroom teacher for it."

Xiao Shuai breathed a sigh of relief and took his phone out of his textbook.

"Brother Bin, Brother Yan, let's continue!"

"Cow!"

Yu Bin gave a thumbs up. The one with the screen lit up was also a model machine; it could only light up the screen.

"hey-hey."

Xiao Shuai smiled, and then saw the game message.

Teammates and opponents alike were all mourning for him and the monkey.

Xiao Shuai: "."

Back home, Li Yan continued to practice weapon crafting diligently.

Whether we can achieve automated production of beauty serums depends on it.

The beauty-enhancing liquid wasn't a true elixir, but Li Yan felt it could be made using the weapon-refining function.

However, he is not at his current level to do so.

Initially, Li Yan wanted to carve a mechanically automated alchemy furnace.

But it was completely useless; he used the small hand warmer to warm Mei Mengqian's hands.

He tried twice more and successfully provided Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu with hand warmers.

A custom version for four people!

Later, when Li Yan was writing, he had an inspiration while writing about Song Shuhang's thirty-three beast-related magical artifacts.

Perhaps a set of magical artifacts could be carved for alchemy.

He tried it and found it worked.

But a crucial step blocked their way: the inability to combine the components.

Li Yan realized that his knowledge of formations was insufficient, so he intensively studied formations.

Sunday.

He stopped his cramming and, piloting the flying shuttle, handed over the beauty serum he had accumulated over three days to Hua Ningxia.

In the end, Li Yan did not impose any extraordinary restrictions on Hua Ningxia.

Ordinary laws are sufficient.

He registered the copyright for the beauty serum in his own name and authorized his company to use it.

By grasping the core issue in this way, most incidents can be prevented from occurring.

Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu went to the study group, but Li Yan did not.

After finishing his deliveries, he bought another batch of medicinal herbs, as well as jade and precious metals, for use in refining weapons and creating formations.

He has already carved all the components and tools of the automated alchemy furnace. Now it needs to be assembled, and some array patterns need to be engraved to make these parts a complete whole!
The entire automated alchemy furnace is a full two meters tall, so it definitely wouldn't fit in Li Yan's own home.

Therefore, he rented a larger bungalow in the residential area by the river to house his alchemy furnace, as well as arrays for gathering, fusing, and concealing spiritual energy.

Automated machines all require human intervention at regular intervals, and automated liquid medicine furnaces are naturally not fully automated.

Li Yan can use formations to solve the energy supply problem, but he needs to manage the raw material and finished product reserves himself.

He spent the entire Sunday working on these things.

By the time the project was finally completed and the first batch of beauty serum meeting the standards was produced, it was already 10 p.m.

Li Yan closed the door of the 70-square-meter house and walked back along the dark path.

When I got home, I pushed open the door and saw bright lights.

He felt a warmth in his heart, and then he was stunned.

Besides Jiang Yingzhu and Mei Mengqian, Hua Junshu was also on the sofa.
