Chapter 1718 Secretly Investigating What Happened 31 Years Ago

As soon as Lu Zijia said this, apart from Mu Tianyan, who knew about it, everyone present was shocked.

"Junior… Junior Sister Lu, are… are you serious?" Lu Yizhe asked in disbelief.

Lu Zijia nodded and replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, I usually don't joke."

Usually, she wouldn't joke around, and would only trick people.

"You're a high-level Mystic Rank alchemist. You can actually refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill?!"

Xu Qi knew that Lu Zijia was very powerful, but he didn't expect her to be so powerful. She was simply a super genius among geniuses!

Lu Zijia nodded slightly. "In fact, the Mystic Golden Core was originally a high-level Mystic Rank pill, but because it was more difficult to refine, it was defined as an Earth-rank pill."

Hearing that, Xu Qi and the others looked enlightened.

"What do you want me to do for you, Student Lu?" Xu Xiu suppressed the excitement in his heart and stared straight at Lu Zijia as he asked.

Lu Zijia tapped her chin with her finger and pretended to be thinking. "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."

Lu Zijia said that, but she secretly sent a voice transmission to Xu Xiu, "Help me investigate what happened to the Lu family 31 years ago, especially who gave birth then."

Xu Xiu's eyes flickered when he heard that, but he didn't show any surprise.

"Alright, it's a deal," Xu Xiu replied with a double meaning.

Lu Zijia was straightforward and directly threw a Mystic Golden Core Pill over.

"There's only one."

Xu Qi looked at the pills in his brother's hand and said worriedly, "Brother, are you confident that you can break through after taking only one Mystic Golden Core Pill?"

Cultivators with good talent and aptitude might only need to take one Mystic Golden Core Pill to successfully break through, while people with poor aptitude needed several Mystic Golden Core Pills.

However, this was not certain.

So, even though Xu Xiu had the aptitude of a metal-element single spirit root, Xu Qi was still a bit worried.

"I'll make more preparations," Xu Xiu said firmly.

He immediately took off the storage bag on his body and threw it to Lu Zijia. "This is all I have. Student Lu, do you think it's enough?"

Lu Zijia didn't look at it and directly put it into her space. "It's enough."

Her original intention was to ask Xu Xiu to help investigate the Lu family. The reward she asked for was just a cover-up.

If it weren't for the fact that she was too "famous" right now and was targeted by many people, she would have checked it herself.

After Xu Xiu and the others left, a guest came to the courtyard.

"Deputy Dean?"

Seeing the person who came, Lu Zijia was slightly surprised for a moment. She immediately put down the inscription pen in her hand and bowed to Kou Sun with her man.

"Deputy Dean, why are you here?"

The three of them sat at the stone table. Lu Zijia asked directly after pouring a cup of tea for Kou Sun.

"Your alchemy and inscription skills have both reached the high level of the Mystic Rank. Lass, you're not simple!"

Kou Sun took a sip of tea. Before Lu Zijia replied, he said meaningfully again, "Not everyone can resist the beast tide with the strength of two people. Lass, you're really making me more and more curious."

For Kou Sun to talk to Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan about fighting against the beast tide, he had obviously already sent someone to Delin Country to investigate their background.

Lu Zijia remained calm and said with a smile, "Deputy Dean, you must be joking. Ah Yan and I aren't the only ones who defeated the beast tide. Many cultivators in Zhuang Prefectural City also contributed."

Kou Sun's old eyes seemed to be able to see through people's minds, but Lu Zijia looked at him fearlessly, as if she wasn't afraid of being seen through at all.
