I, Thanks To My Unlimited Investment, Am Admired By Every Race

Chapter 118: Let Me Try

"Xun'er is back?"

Li Wuyou's eyes lit up, but a hint of doubt followed.

Why would Xun'er return at this time?

Unable to figure it out, he glanced at the child in the pool, pondered briefly, and then said, "Let Xun'er in."

"Yes," replied Chen Bo.

Before long, the secret chamber door opened, and Li Xun stepped in. His gaze first swept over his parents in this life and then settled on the child in the pool, taking a deep look.

Composing himself slightly, he cupped his hands and said, "Li Xun greets Father and Mother."

"No need for formalities," said Xiao Wanrong, her face pale but her gaze kind as she looked at Li Xun. "It's been two years, and Xun'er has grown taller. You haven't suffered in Profound Sun Sect, have you?"

"Thank you, Mother, for your concern. I have not suffered in these two years," Li Xun replied.

Although he was answering his mother, his eyes remained on the pool. In his view, the small figure in the water was now completely enveloped in golden light.

So, this was indeed the gold level investment he had been looking for.

No wonder he hadn't found it earlier. It turned out his parents had hidden the child in this secret chamber. Considering the formation barriers preventing his detection, it all made sense now.

"As expected of my son. In just two short years, you've already become a core disciple of Profound Sun Sect, and your cultivation is..."

Li Wuyou extended his spiritual sense to scan Li Xun's cultivation level. His expression immediately changed, and he gasped, speaking in a serious tone, "Divine Power Realm?"

As the head of the Li Family, he was familiar with the strength of Profound Sun Sect's core disciples.

Under normal circumstances, they were typically only at the Profound Elixir Realm.

Initially, seeing Li Xun in purple robes, he had assumed his son had just broken through to the Profound Elixir Realm. But upon closer inspection, he realized things were far beyond his expectations.

Li Xun's cultivation was clearly at the early stage of the Divine Power Realm!

Overwhelmed with surprise, even his hand, which had been channeling true essence, trembled slightly, causing ripples in the pool.

The child lying quietly in the pool groaned softly.

Too weak to begin with, the child's pale face visibly turned even whiter, like a flickering candle in the wind, on the verge of going out.

Seeing this, Xiao Wanrong shot her husband a reproachful glance.

Realizing his mistake, Li Wuyou could only offer an embarrassed smile. He waved at Li Xun and said, "Xun'er, as you can see, your mother and I still have matters to attend to. Go rest in your room for now."

"In a few days, we'll catch up properly."

"This child is gravely injured. If you continue like this, you'll only deplete your own vitality in vain. You won't be able to save him," Li Xun said, not leaving. Instead, he stepped closer to the pool and carefully examined the child.

The child, around three or four years old, lay quietly in the pool like a porcelain doll. Strangely, Li Xun couldn't find any visible wounds on him.

'Could it not be bone extraction?' Li Xun wondered inwardly.

"Sigh."

Li Wuyou sighed and glanced at his wife before saying helplessly, "I know this as well. But a while ago, the couple said they would return after a certain time."

"Since we promised them, it's only right that we do everything in our power to care for this child during this time."

'Based on typical plotline, that couple is probably already dead' Li Xun muttered inwardly but didn't voice it aloud. Instead, he said, "Let me give it a try."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, revealing a milky-white pill in his palm. Due to the system's sealing of its special aura, the pill appeared plain and ordinary.

Without any medicinal fragrance, it looked no different from a sugar bead. Li Xun quickly placed it into the child's mouth.

"Xun'er, no!" Li Wuyou hurriedly objected.

This child's body was far too fragile. At this moment, any random pill could cost the child his life.

Moreover, the pill Li Xun had produced seemed ordinary, with no discernible medicinal scent. How could it be any good?

Feeding it like this might choke the child to death!

But before his words were fully spoken, a dazzling light burst forth from the child's body in the pool. Divine radiance filled the air, resplendent like a rainbow, with the essence of the Dao flowing through it.

The child, who had been on the brink of death, began to regain his vitality. His pale face visibly turned rosy, and even his heartbeat grew noticeably stronger.

"This... this..."

Li Wuyou couldn't believe his eyes. He slowly withdrew his hand, and no adverse changes occurred. On the contrary, the child's life force became increasingly vibrant.

"Xun'er, what pill did you just give him?" Xiao Wanrong asked in astonishment.

"Hm? Ah, it's a Heaven Creation Pill," Li Xun replied casually.

"Heaven Creation Pill?"

Li Wuyou and Xiao Wanrong exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. Such a pill wasn't something their Li Family could even dream of acquiring.

Even that young couple wouldn't have been able to find it. Yet, today, it appeared in Li Xun's hands.

It was simply incredible.

However, neither asked how Li Xun obtained the pill. After all, the child had grown up and was bound to have his own fortuitous encounters. That was only natural.

"Regardless, this child's life is saved. But his original physique is likely beyond recovery," Li Wuyou said, shaking his head with regret. "His Immortal Bone Marrow has been extracted, and all the Immortal Blood in his body has turned into waste blood. A perfectly good Immortal Body has been ruined. Truly, fate plays cruel tricks."

The Immortal Body was an extremely rare physique, one that might not appear even once in a million years. Such an individual was destined to become an Immortal Realm expert as long as they didn't perish prematurely.

Immortals were beings even stronger than Emperors.

But to his surprise, someone had extracted the bone marrow of this child.

Didn't they know how crucial it was?

"Bone extraction?"

Li Xun glanced sympathetically at the child. Although he wasn't sure if this child could grow up to be as powerful as the unparalleled Immortal Realm of legend, one thing was certain—this child's suffering was immense.

Compared to himself, though, the child had it slightly better.

At least the child could survive after being stripped of his Immortal Bone Marrow. In Li Xun's case, without the Heaven Creation Pill, he would have been utterly doomed.

It was no wonder Qin Xueyi had told him she'd never heard of a "Xiao Fan." Most likely, in his previous life, this child hadn't made it.

'Guess I've defied fate for you this time. Don't let me down in the future,' Li Xun thought, taking one last long look at the child before turning and leaving after a brief conversation with his parents.
