I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

The rock-and-roll girl glared at Li Lin, thinking that this guy was not only crazy, but also extremely petty.

"Why are you like this?"

“Because I am the sun,” Li Lin replied with a cold laugh.

“Nietzsche?” the learned Virtue said.

The madman and philosopher Nietzsche once compared himself to the sun, implying that his wisdom was as blazing and lofty as the sun, incomprehensible to ordinary people.

This made Master Li, who wanted to admit that he was using a tired old joke, wisely shut up.

"The Reshaping Hand is hunting me, and the Foundation is looking for me. If it were just one target, it would be fine, but once Star Antimony and Mr. Apple appear in public, our targets will become more conspicuous. You don't want the Reshaping Hand and the Liquidators to join forces and become our enemies, do you?"

The exiles expressed their understanding, but Li Lin was the only one grumbling: "Then why don't you go and exchange some?"

"What do you mean?" Wilding asked calmly. "You want me to join the Liquidators?"

“How could that be? The requirements for the liquidation are extremely strict… No, perhaps it’s feasible.” The exile’s tone shifted, “Do you have a celestial oracle of faith?”

“The Foundation does not allow us to have faith in any of the Divine Stars,” Veltin said succinctly.

They quickly realized the feasibility of the plan—the Exiles and the Reapers were mortal enemies, so cooperating with the Reshaping Hand was the best course of action, while Virtue was an enemy of the Reshaping Hand, so contacting the Reapers would keep her relatively safe.

“It’s good that there is no faith in the Divine Star,” the exile said. “Because of the Book of Ashes, the Licensors cannot truly enter the Mansor, nor can they worship the Divine Star’s shrine. All intangible arts based on the Divine Star are unusable, except for the art of silence.”

The exile looked at Li Lin with surprise: "I never thought you'd be of any use. It's amazing."

264 Shocking! Li Lin has gone into the sex industry!

Upon hearing this, Li Lin's face immediately fell. He went up and shoved the exile, pulling her petite body back and forth: "Which department are you from? Which Si Chen do you believe? What do you do for a living? Can't you speak properly? Can't you speak properly?"

Among the female mystics and supernatural beings present, Veltin and Star Antimony were about the same height, while the exile, for some reason, was half a head shorter than Veltin, and in short, she looked very petite.

Li Lin's childish antics went unnoticed by anyone.

Amidst laughter and chatter, Xingti walked over to Li Lin and tugged at his clothes.

"You're an alchemist too?"

Compared to the 60s, rock and roll in the 20s had not yet flourished and had a small audience. And the high seas pirate captain... sounds wonderful, but Star Antimony doesn't have a ship right now.

In the 1960s, she kidnapped the Foundation's liaison officer and then taunted the Reincarnation Hand's ships, making them fire at her head.

It's obvious that not everyone is Li Lin, and Xingti is not Xiuqin either; the Reconstruction Hand sank her ship with a single shot.

Xingti naturally didn't expect Li Lin to understand what rock and roll, freedom, and rebellion were, but just like her name suggests, alchemy was also one of her strengths.

Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest physicists, chemists, and scientists of modern times, who discovered the three laws of universal gravitation and is considered the creator of calculus alongside Leibniz, was also a passionate alchemist. Some have criticized Newton for being a theological believer, saying that he believed in God in his later years.

In fact, in that era, those who did not believe in the church were among the few heretics. Newton did not turn from science to superstitious alchemy; rather, he was a fervent advocate of alchemy from the beginning. Some call him the last glimmer of medieval alchemy, "the last great sage."

Another name for star antimony is refined antimony crystals, which emit a shimmering metallic luster and exhibit a radial shape.

Newton once refined this metal with reference to Valentine's "The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony," and commented on it: This star is not precious enough to contain the Philosopher's Stone, but it does contain a wonderful medicine.

Going back even further in history, to the predynastic period of ancient Egypt around 3000 BC, the pharaohs sent alchemists to grind stibnite into a mysterious powder, which they used as eyeshadow.

In later alchemical texts, the symbol for antimony is composed of a cross and a circle, representing the free spirit of humankind and its yearning for its primal animalistic essence.

Just as a Stand user can sense another Stand user, Hoshino also sensed the presence of alchemy from Li Lin.

And in more ways than one.

Li Lin turned his head to look at the young girl who exuded freedom and rebellion from head to toe.

【Star Antimony Regulus】

[Rank: Second Imprint]

[Nature and Appearance: Heart, Casting]

[Xingti is dancing a swing dance, laughing all the way as she runs towards the path she has chosen.]

[Star Antimony was once a genius alchemist, a rebellious record jockey, and a pirate captain who roared at the full moon on the high seas. Could anyone have been all of these? The centurion despised this lifestyle, while the general approved of it.]

Perhaps this little girl could be captured and given to the lion hunter...

"Yes, do you want me to weigh Newton down in his coffin?"

Xingti: "?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Apple, who had just flown back, instinctively replied, "No, Newton was cremated, wasn't he?"

Xingti: "Why are you going crazy too?"

“I’m sorry, it’s a habit,” Apple said. “I sincerely apologize for the rudeness of someone at Apple before, and I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Faced with Li Lin's tyranny, even Apple had to submit.

Any intelligent being has only two paths before Li Lin: either be destroyed or submit.

After some playful fighting, Xingti explained her purpose: she wanted to ask Li Lin for help in getting a boat.

As a sea knight who yearns for freedom, Xingti is almost suffocating from being cooped up in the miniature garden every day, and she can't wait to go out and explore.

"It's not that it's impossible."

Li Lin has always been fearless, but the exiles and Virtin are not very supportive of Xingti's ideas.

"So if we want Xingti to appear, we still need to give her an identity—"

“Let her go back to her old job,” Li Lin said. “Anyway, we’re all undocumented at sea. If we need to escape by the sea, it’s fine to hitch a ride on her boat.”

"How come your IQ suddenly went online?" The exile looked at Li Lin in surprise.

Mr. Li scratched his head and muttered to himself with self-doubt, "Oh right, my head has been a little itchy lately. Could it be that my brain is growing?"

Putting all that aside, Li Lin actually has exceptional work capacity when he's in good health. Since he's not having an attack now, the exiles are urging him to hurry up and build a boat for Xingti.

"The principle of alchemy is equivalent substitution," Xingti muttered to herself. She had only mentioned it casually, and yet she had already acquired another ship. These successive surprises made her feel like she had been hit by a lottery.

“We are different.” Li Lin sneered disdainfully, his gaze sweeping over Xing Ti’s flat chest.

In a daze, Xingti seemed to hear a "tsk".

Before they could even get angry, a massive ship appeared out of nowhere, crashing into the water and splitting the riverbed, sending water splashing dozens of meters high.

The silver-gray hull sat in the lake, casting a huge shadow under the artificial light in the miniature garden. Xingti looked up at the massive warship, speechless, and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"What is this thing?"

“The Type 055 destroyer,” Li Lin said. “I’ve even reduced its tonnage, and equipped it with numerous functions such as air defense, anti-missile defense, anti-submarine warfare, and anti-ship warfare. Wouldn’t you be able to wreak havoc if you took it out?”

A missile destroyer with a wide range of skills!

Damn it, with a destroyer like that, Bismarck and Hood would surely flee in terror.

"It's too big!" Xingti cried out in despair. "And I don't know how to drive it!"

Only Virtin cast a glance at Li Lin, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation and contemplation.

This warship is clearly ahead of its time... Was the blueprint provided by the Remodeling Hand, or did the Key Hunter have other sources?

“Mine is huge, so bear with it.” Li Lin mocked as he shrunk the massive 055 down to the familiar spaceship that Xingti knew.

"The problem now is how to get this ship out of the country."

“No need to worry.” Virtue gazed at the vast expanse of water before him.

“Since the wave, this body of water has appeared in the miniature garden, but as you can see.” She pointed to the water, which seemed real but was actually illusory and intangible. “This is not ordinary water; it is more like a vessel of time.”

Simply open the box at the beach and let the boat float away with the current.

“It seems that everyone except me falls into a coma upon contact with water.” Veltin turned to look at the exile. “Are you no exception?”

"The best way to deal with danger is to avoid it," the exile lied.

The earth's bloodline within her seemed to be able to resist the influence, but she was unwilling to try.

Virtue didn't say anything, but when she turned around, she found Li Lin already in the water.

265 Corny Pickup Lines

Li Lin stood in the water, neither floating nor sinking.

"This is really strange," the exile commented from the side. "Why isn't he acting strangely at all?"

Before Virtue could answer, a thick fog suddenly rose from the lake. The fog seemed to be swept by the wind, flowing clockwise, and the rolling fog seemed to be dragging Li Lin into it.

"careful!"

Li Lin struggled desperately as if grabbed by something, his eyes bulging, his arms outstretched and waving in the air, gradually disappearing beneath the astonished and terrified gazes of the crowd...

"What's wrong with him?" The exile turned his head and grabbed Virtin's wrist. "What the hell is this place?!"

A series of unexpected events left them no time to react, and they could only watch helplessly as Li Lin was swallowed up by the gray mist.

Veltin calmly bent down, picked up his top hat, dusted it off, and put it back on.

"Don't worry, this fog won't endanger anyone's life; at most, they'll just lose consciousness."

"Then he..."

"Maybe he just thought it was fun."
