Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Moreover, if it were truly a reincarnation, its cultivation level and strength shouldn't be this low.

When will that be?

As Li Xingzhou pondered, he walked up to the top of a residential building.

Looking down at the location indicated by the third Cup of Heaven, Li Xingzhou collected his thoughts and released his divine sense, quickly locking onto the residents on the third floor.

It wasn't because I sensed the energy fluctuations of the fourth Heaven's Cup, but because the homeowner had a mark of the Heaven's Cup on their arm.

Moreover, Li Xingzhou also discovered that several seventh-realm cultivators were secretly monitoring the owner of the house.

Judging from the expressions of these monks, the owner of this household does not seem to be a wanted criminal. Considering the items displayed in the house, the owner should be a researcher.

Li Xingzhou took a step forward, causing ripples in the space. When he reappeared, he was already in the living room of this household.

Cut off from the noise, he looked at the figure sitting on the sofa. The man stared blankly at his arm, lost in thought: "How did it end up on me... Can it grant my wish?"

Why don't you tell me what your wish is first?

The sudden sound startled the man, who instinctively stood up: "Who's speaking? It's you...who are you?!"

Upon seeing Li Xingzhou appear in his line of sight, the man asked warily, "How did you get in?"

"The person who helped you." Li Xingzhou smiled slightly: "Director Lin."

Li Xingzhou had already recognized the man's identity from the things in the room using his divine sense.

Lin Ming, deputy director of the third laboratory of Lingwu Academy, Tianqi University.

"Help me?" Lin Ming subtly concealed the marks from the Cup of Heaven on his arm while staring at Li Xingzhou's face and asking, "What kind of hand do you want to use this time... um?"

Lin Ming paused, because as he looked at the face, he realized it looked somewhat familiar.

Where have I seen this before...?

Lin Ming frowned and suddenly picked up his phone to look at news photos of Jiang Wanzhao's ascension to the throne.

He glanced at his phone, then at Li Xingzhou, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you a member of the Jiang family?"

His voice was tinged with excitement.

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "You want to go back to Yunli?"

"What's your name?" Lin Ming asked. "What's your relationship with His Majesty Tianqian?"

“Her brother.” Li Xingzhou walked to his side and scrolled down the news on his phone screen: “I’m on the list of those who were granted titles.”

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful, heaven has saved us..." Lin Ming immediately became excited: "You came to save me on His Majesty's orders?"

From Lin Ming's few words, Li Xingzhou deduced Lin Ming's purpose.

He crossed the sea to study, was detained after completing his studies, and wanted to return to his home country.

"Is your wish to return to Yunli?"

"Yes."

Lin Ming had just nodded when he felt Li Xingzhou grab his shoulder, and his vision immediately began to spin.

When I came to my senses, I was already standing in the night sky, with the lights below me twinkling.

"This is Yunli territory. Has your wish come true?"

"It's done! It's done!" Lin Ming nodded excitedly. "Thank you so much..."

"Now that it's achieved, why is there no news about the Heaven's Cup?"

Hearing Li Xingzhou's question, Lin Ming subconsciously glanced at the crescent-shaped illusory mark on his arm, and his expression froze.

The Heaven's Cup isn't something that can grant wishes. My wish has been fulfilled right now, so why won't it leave my arm?

"Serving the country?" Li Xingzhou continued to ask.

Lin Ming smiled awkwardly: "I haven't thought that far ahead. My strongest wish is to come back..."

Li Xingzhou asked thoughtfully, "Any other wishes?"

"Hmm..." Lin Ming pondered for a few seconds before saying, "I want to make the technology I have mastered play its due role in benefiting others."

The moment the words left his mouth, the Heaven's Cup on his arm lit up a little.

Li Xingzhou knew the answer: "Can your technology be implemented in Yunli?"

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Ming shook his head: "Within Yunli, there is no relevant foundation for this technology. Only Tianqi Island can carry out this experiment."

"You don't remember the data?"

“I remember, but I’m not good at other experimental machines…” Lin Ming said honestly, “Yunli doesn’t have any relevant talent; they’re all on Tianqi Island.”

"Let's go back first." Li Xingzhou put his arm around Lin Ming's shoulder and they returned to his home on Tianqi Island.

"Sigh, why are you back again?" Lin Ming asked anxiously, "Since you can take me back, you can take other people back too. Just take them all back, isn't that enough?"

Li Xingzhou sat on the sofa and said calmly, "I want to get the Heaven's Cup as soon as possible, and this is the best place."

Rest assured, your safety is not in any way.

"Okay, tell me about your experiment."

······

Chapter 117 Mom, the one who isn't loved is the mistress.

When Li Xingzhou returned home, Jiang Xuetang had already left.

"Lord Xingzhou, you're back..."

Tong Yan rushed out of the study to greet her: "Why do you look so serious?"

Li Xingzhou, having changed into slippers, plopped down on the sofa, his mind still preoccupied with the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques Lin Ming had mentioned.

Calculation of aerodynamic center position, equation of drag curve, aura absorption loss...

Lin Ming spewed out a dense array of formulas, making everyone's head spin.

With Li Xingzhou's current intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand it if he received systematic and basic learning. However, since he did not receive such learning, it was no different from listening to gibberish.

Just like when you first embarked on the path of cultivation, without receiving basic knowledge of cultivation, it was impossible to directly understand the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques.

However, he still listened to Lin Ming finish speaking. Even if he didn't understand, he could remember it with his memory. And Tong Yan was at home.

I refuse to believe that Tong Yan doesn't understand. If she really doesn't understand... then there's nothing more to say.

"After listening to some cryptic explanations," Li Xingzhou said, taking Tong Yan's small hand. "I have a task for you: what kind of experiments are these things doing?"

As he spoke, Li Xingzhou looked into Tong Yan's eyes and transmitted the knowledge he had heard that evening into her memory.

"Don't tell me you don't understand." Li Xingzhou looked at Tong Yan with a smile: "You're a research subject, right?"

Having received the knowledge, Tong Yan patted his chest vigorously, causing a magnificent wave of excitement: "Lord Xingzhou, Tong Yan has only lost his memory, not become stupid!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she switched to professional terminology, but Li Xingzhou quickly interrupted her: "Don't lecture me, I won't learn it, and I won't be able to use it even if I do."

"Oh..." Tong Yan nodded regretfully, "This is a bit difficult, but it's okay..."

She paused, then continued, "Currently, it seems to be about as difficult as manufacturing automata, such as the bionic joint driving torque equations and servo drive system efficiency equations involved in automata..."

"Tong Yan!" Li Xingzhou interrupted Tong Yan with a smile: "Can you make those things I just sent you?"

"There is no laboratory."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Do you know what kind of technology that is?"

“New energy.” Tong Yan said without the slightest hesitation, “Although the world’s current means of transportation rely on the conversion of spiritual energy, the core still cannot be separated from spiritual crystals. And in order to convert spiritual crystals, we still need to rely on a series of related formations…”

Although it's widely available, it's also relatively expensive. Furthermore, spirit crystals become controlled items during wartime, so 'spirit coal,' a new energy source, can replace spirit crystals.

"This experiment is a perfect fit for spirit coal." Tong Yan introduced without changing his expression, no longer acting like a 'mentally challenged' system that only knows how to eat and drink: "As a byproduct of spirit mines, spirit coal is plentiful and cheap, but because its energy is unstable, it has never been put into use."

Director Lin Ming's technology is a good fit for Ling coal, and Xingchen Group is the only company in the world that has made breakthroughs in the stability of Ling coal.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but smile: "Isn't this a coincidence?"

If we can facilitate the cooperation between Lin Ming and Xingchen Group, wouldn't that allow the Heavenly Cup on his arm to leave his body?

The reason Lin Ming didn't announce this technology to the public was precisely because he wanted to find a trustworthy partner.

Over the years, he has never been bribed by the Wei Clan to serve Tianqi Island.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzhou asked, "Is it possible for the Heaven's Cup to appear on a person?"

"Possibly." Tong Yan nodded: "The Heaven's Cup is a divine artifact that can grant any wish, so if a certain person has a powerful wish, it may possess that person's body. Only by granting those people's wishes can the Heaven's Cup leave their body."

"Tsk tsk." Li Xingzhou smiled knowingly. "Looking at it this way, it really is a magical artifact that can grant any wish."

Just like possessing Lin Ming's body, Li Xingzhou was able to fulfill his wishes.

For the sake of the Heaven's Cup, the world's strongest people have come out in droves. In the eyes of these powerful and high-ranking people, the wishes of those in lower positions can indeed be fulfilled as long as they are within their capabilities.

And this ability has a very broad scope. As long as it's not about being the strongest or unifying the world, other wishes can be said to be quite simple.

"How many precedents are there?" Li Xingzhou continued to ask, not wanting the future Heaven's Cup to be solely for fulfilling someone's wish.

Because it's troublesome.

You can't kill them, and you can't rob them; the variables are relatively large.

"Over the years, there have only been three such cases."

"That's good." Li Xingzhou nodded. "It's great that you're here; it makes things much easier for me."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Tong Yan's eyes lit up. She leaned closer to Li Xingzhou, bending down like a spoiled kitten: "Did Tong Yan really help Lord Xingzhou?"

Li Xingzhou patted Tong Yan's head: "You've been a great help, you're really amazing."

As he said this, his eyes involuntarily drifted to the collar of the girl's dress, her fair skin captivating.

Coupled with her youthful face and petite, delicate figure, the contrast is striking.

"Then, Lord Xingzhou, could you give Tongyan a little reward?" Tongyan giggled, "Could you?"

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow: "Let me hear what kind of reward you want first."

Tong Yan tilted her head: "Lord Xingzhou, what is it like to be on a date?"
