Chapter 255: Gift
The day after the Deification Ceremony, in Luo Bo's villa in Tianqing.
"I hope this time, Bai Xiao Sheng won't disappoint me." He muttered to himself, holding the thought crystal in his hand.
For several years, his accumulation in the Unmelting Realm had long been sufficient. He had just been reluctant to give up his current life, reluctant to leave the women around him and the sister behind him, unwilling to gamble his life on the possibility of advancing.
The women living in his home had transformed his villa into a haven of comfort, making it difficult for Luo Bo, who was enjoying the blessings of having many women, to let go.
But after a fierce internal struggle, he ultimately made up his mind, feeling he couldn't keep wasting time. So, he wanted to resolve this last lingering matter before breaking through to the Xuanhua Stage—finding the mysterious person who had helped him rise in the first place.
After numerous inquiries by Luo Bo and using quite a few favors, he finally managed to connect with Gu Jin, the "Bai Xiao Sheng."
Gu Jin's ability was information gathering. Using a certain mysterious and profound sense, with the help of known clues, he had a certain possibility of discerning some past events.
The more clues there were, the greater the possibility of knowing. It was just that his probability was much higher than that of ordinary people, and some missing information in the deduction process could also be automatically filled in. In a sense, he was like a fantasy version of Sherlock Holmes, who could get answers by "pinching his fingers to calculate."
"Senior Bai Xiao Sheng, I'd like to ask for your help in investigating someone." Luo Bo, carrying large and small bags of valuable gifts, arrived at the home of his Special Combat Department colleague, nicknamed "Bai Xiao Sheng."
Although cultivation was not easy, among the vast population base of over a billion people in the entire Huaxia Federation, to this day, hundreds of cultivators at the peak of the Unmelting Realm had still emerged. Gu Jin and Luo Bo were both among them.
So, even though the two were nearly twenty years apart in age, he didn't put on any airs of a senior. Similar power compensated for this disparity.
There was still no fixed method for the spiritualization of the brain. Perhaps someone might inadvertently achieve enlightenment one day, but it was also possible to make no progress for years, like Cheng Mu and the others.
Taking the thought crystal handed to him by Luo Bo, Gu Jin began to activate his ability, using the information stored within the thought crystal to seek the desired answer.
"Who's looking for me?" In the core of the experimental field, Bai Mo, who was preparing for his breakthrough matters in the South Pole, suddenly had such a sensation.
"Pfft!" Gu Jin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then his body went limp, collapsing onto the sofa, scaring Luo Bo, who was beside him.
"Sir, what's wrong, sir?" He helped Gu Jin sit upright, preparing to have the servants outside call for a doctor.
"I'm fine... just a slight backlash." Gu Jin held Luo Bo back.
Benefiting from the powerful physique of an Unmelting Realm ability user, he quickly recovered and began to tell the other party the answer he had seen.
"That man, enveloped in white light." Gu Jin didn't dare to say the name directly, because he had a premonition that as long as that person's name was mentioned, he would definitely be discovered. "You're not planning to seek revenge, are you?"
Gu Jin had originally wanted to forge a good relationship with this rapidly rising young man, who was almost unrivalled at his level and had limitless prospects, to make this future powerhouse owe him a favor, which was why he was willing to make a move for him this once. But he didn't expect to have seemingly stirred up some great trouble.
As the Spirit Picture continuously expanded within and around his body, Bai Mo's abilities grew ever stronger. His evolved Sky Net ability even allowed him to see the surroundings of most people who muttered his name.
"No, he changed my destiny. I want to thank him personally."
"As long as he's not an enemy..." After hearing this, Gu Jin finally relaxed. If Luo Bo had truly intended to seek revenge on that person, then he would have had no choice but to draw a clear line between himself and this young man with limitless prospects.
"So it was him." Luo Bo had also attended yesterday's Deification Ceremony, so he naturally knew who Gu Jin was referring to. "Indeed, there aren't many people in Huaxia who can make it impossible for me to find anything about them."
"Thank you, Senior Gu." Before leaving, he bowed deeply to Gu Jin, sincerely thanking the person who had coughed up blood from exhaustion for his sake.
"This kid is really generous... I hope he was telling the truth, that he really is going to thank him." After Luo Bo left, Gu Jin tallied the gifts he had left behind. Various precious spiritual materials, adding up to several million Huaxia coins.
"This is the list Dad gave me. He was very happy after he learned about your connection with that person and immediately drew up such a gift list to be sent over in your name." After an evening of intimacy, Liao Zixin brought up the matter with Luo Bo.
"That's truly a grand gesture. Those are things worth two hundred million Huaxia coins. Even for your family, it wouldn't be easy to give that away, would it?"
Ever since Luo Bo revealed to the women around him that he would be visiting Bai Mo in a few days, their respective families began to consecutively present such enormous gift lists.
"Dad said, as long as we can establish a connection with that person, it wouldn't matter even if we gave away half of the family's assets."
"In all of Huaxia, among those with a combat power evaluation of Five Tiers or higher, he is almost the only one who is a lone wolf, with no intention of developing his own subordinate forces. If we can use this opportunity to connect with him, there will definitely be great development in the future."
"Darling, your breakthrough will definitely succeed! You'll definitely be the next Five-Tier powerhouse!" With that, she kissed him once more.
"That person... indeed, just a little bit leaked from his hands would be enough to satiate countless people." As a high-ranking member of Huaxia's elite, Luo Bo naturally knew who truly controlled the Contribution Point System, nicknamed the "Money Printer."
"Mr. Luo, Miss Luo, please come in." Chen Xi put away her usual casual demeanor and welcomed the siblings Luo Bo and Luo Li into the reception room with a standard smile.
Though it was called a reception room, it was actually Chen Xi's usual lounge. Bai Mo had never considered that there would be any guests in a place like the experimental field, and the original conference room had long since been converted into another laboratory.
"Good timing." A few minutes later, Bai Mo, enveloped in white light, walked in.
Chen Xi was surprised to see that Bai Mo hadn't sent an avatar, but she still said nothing.
"Thank you!" Regardless of the other party's intentions at the time, he had indeed completely changed the fate of the two siblings, transforming them from a pair of orphans at the bottom of society into today's powerhouses.
"Don't thank me, you two just happened to be lucky."
"Before you leave, I'll give you two something." Bai Mo's left and right hands simultaneously condensed a sphere of light each, then he instantly teleported in front of the two and respectively patted them onto their foreheads.
"The gap is too vast, killing us wouldn't take any effort." This was Luo Bo's first thought. His mind barely registered where Bai Mo was going to attack, but his body simply couldn't react in time.
But then his expression changed. Inside the spheres of light were insights related to breaking through to the Xuanhua Stage!
However, compared to the changes in Luo Li behind him, Luo Bo was already quite composed.
"Brother, you'll never leave me again." She, who had always hidden silently behind Luo Bo like a shy kitten, actually hugged Luo Bo tightly, looking so happy that she wanted to cry.
