The cute baby made a comeback with the help of the words

"I also watched your battle with the guards last night. As expected of a descendant of the Lan family, you have mastered fire magic and summoning techniques. I believe that after your father retires, the position of Spirit Capture General will still belong to the Lan family."

After hearing what the man said, Lan Shuyi said politely, "Mr. Lian, you are too kind. I am still far from my father. The position of Spirit Capture God General is not something that my Lan family can easily obtain. I still need to continue to study diligently."

"Second Master Lan is too modest." Mr. Lian smiled and waved his hands. Mr. Guo also stroked his beard and smiled.

Lu Jinyu felt a little strange listening to it.

Although Mr. Lian is the actual manager here, Mr. Guo and Lan Shuyi seem to respect him too much.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, there seems to be the eldest daughter of the Wen family?" the man asked.

Lan Shuyi replied: "Yes, she came with us, but she wanted to rest early today, so she didn't come."

Lan Shuyi probably lied because she didn't want Mr. Lian to think that he was not as important as Chiyi taking a bath.

The man nodded: "I see."

.

Then he looked at Mianmian.

"I discovered last night that there was something unusual about this little girl."

Lan Shuyi asked hurriedly, "Yes, it is indeed unusual. Can you tell what it is, sir?"

Mr. Lian looked at Mianmian, and Mianmian also looked at him with her big eyes.

After looking at it for a while, Mr. Lian said, "This power is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but it is concentrated in such a small body. If it is not a body that has been tempered for a hundred years to rejuvenate, then I think this power must come from somewhere else."

Lu Jinyu felt that this was nonsense, after all, Lan Shuyi and the others had already guessed it.

However, Lan Shuyi still asked patiently: "Sir, what do you mean...?"

“It should be something from outer space.”

After hearing what Mr. Lian said, Lan Shuyi and Huang Jianning looked at each other.

Lu Jinyu also exchanged glances with An Bin.

Lan Shuyi nodded and told Mr. Lian what she knew.

"In fact, we have already checked it before, and found the fallen meteor fragments according to the direction Mianmian said. After testing, we did find the same power traces as those in Mianmian's body. However, the fragments are very small and contain very little power. They are not the source of her power."

Mr. Lian nodded thoughtfully, and spoke after a moment.

"Since it is something from outer space and not all of it has fallen into this mortal world, then this power must be like a meteor, fleeting."

Lu Jinyu was a little nervous when she heard the word "passed away", so she asked, "What...does it mean?"

An Bin immediately comforted him: "Don't be nervous, it means that this power will eventually disappear."

"What effect will that have on Mian Mian?"

"It means that I will no longer have this power and will return to being an ordinary person. Isn't this a good thing?"

However, Lu Jinyu was not very happy after hearing this.

She lowered her head to look at Mianmian, and Mianmian was also looking at her, with eyes and expression that seemed somewhat complicated.

Although they did not place high hopes on this power, after all, they once had it, and if they lost it, they would always feel a little lost.

Seeing this, Lan Shuyi explained to them.

"What Mr. Lian said about being fleeting is only relative. For humans, it may be very long. Moreover, the power reserve in Mianmian's body is very sufficient. Every time she uses it, there will be power sands falling from the sky to replenish it. I am afraid that she will never use it up in this lifetime."

After hearing this, Mianmian looked at Lu Jinyu in surprise, and Lu Jinyu smiled at her.

Mr. Lian also said: "Yes, that's what I mean. I just want to say that the source of this power is moving away from us, but because the power it contains is very strong, it is still working. It will disappear eventually, it just takes time."

Now Lu Jinyu has completely understood and finally feels relieved.

"Thank you Mr. Lian for clearing up my doubts." Lu Jinyu thanked Mr. Lian. She now understood the respect others had for him.

"You're welcome. It's a pity that I can't see the source of this power with my own eyes. Such a powerful force is worth studying."

Mr. Lian said regretfully, and Lan Shuyi nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's a pity. The institute also tried to track the meteor, but now there is no trace of it. The information recorded before also cannot tell us what it was."

"That's what a shooting star is." Mr. Lian said with a smile.

.

Mr. Lian looked at Lan Shuyi with admiration on his face.

"I've long heard that Second Master Lan is brave and resourceful, and has already excelled at a young age. Seeing him today, I can see that he has indeed performed exceptionally well."

Lan Shuyi smiled and bowed, "Thank you for the compliment."

"By the way, I have something I want to give to Second Master Lan, I hope you will accept it."

Mr. Lian said this and motioned to the attendant beside him to get the things.

After a while, the follower took a small wooden box and walked up to Lan Shuyi.

"This is……?"

"open to take a look."

The small wooden box was not much bigger than the box that held the ring. Lu Jinyu was thinking about it in his mind, and then looked at Huang Jianning.

Who would have thought that when they opened the wooden box, it turned out to be a real ring.

"Is this... the Dream Crystal?"

"Exactly! Second Master Lan is indeed knowledgeable!"

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it..."

Lan Shuyi said as she closed the box and placed it on the small tea table beside her.

Mr. Lian smiled and said, "This is a token of my heart. Although I cannot directly help you obtain the position of Spirit Catcher, I can help you practice. Lan Erdangjia is indeed a rare talent. I value talent, so please accept it."

Lu Jinyu was keenly aware of the term "old man" and couldn't help but feel strange.

Mr. Lian doesn't look very old, probably in his thirties, so why does he call himself an old man?

Lan Shuyi didn't say anything, but still shook her head.

At this time, Mr. Guo advised: "Second Master Lan, just accept it. Although the Dream Crystal is precious, it is nothing to Mr. Lian. Besides, it can only help you for a period of time, and then it will be useless."

At first, Lu Jinyu didn't quite understand what Mr. Guo meant, but when he recalled An Bin's previous explanation of power, he suddenly understood.

The stone on this ring is equivalent to a power bank. It is fully charged now, but it will run out of power after use.

But since it’s a power bank, it should be able to be recharged, Lu Jinyu thought to himself.

Lan Shuyi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.

"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you for the gift, sir."

Even though she was sitting, Lan Shuyi still bowed solemnly to Mr. Lian to express her gratitude.

.

After chatting for a few more minutes, they said goodbye and left.

On the way back, Lu Jinyu asked curiously, "How old is this Mr. Lian? Why does he call himself old man?"

Lan Shuyi's mind seemed to still be on the ring in the small wooden box, and she spoke after a few seconds.

"He is an immortal. I don't know his exact age, but he is at least over a hundred years old."

"Immortal? 100 years old??"

Lu Jinyu was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but confirm it again.

"What does Xian mean...?"

"He is the immortal who lives in the sky in the legend." An Bin explained, "No wonder I felt that his aura was a bit strange. He is actually an immortal."

Lu Jinyu still found it unbelievable. She looked at An Bin, then at Lan Shuyi and then at Huang Jianning, but none of them seemed surprised.

She didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only continue to be confused and shocked in her heart.

.

The next day they left Shennong Forest.

After all, if they didn't go back to the hotel, their luggage would be thrown out.

After leaving the hotel, they went on their final itinerary - soaking in the hot springs.

This was Lu Jinyu's first time to take a hot spring bath. He felt very comfortable and thought about looking for a hot spring near their city when he returned.

And just like that, the trip to Shennongjia ended.
