Ignoring Cheng Yu’s unfounded speculations, he was quite curious about Lu Lin’s experiences over the past ten years.

However, no matter how much Cheng Yu tried to probe, he couldn’t uncover the details within. After organizing these pieces of intelligence, Elder Cheng Yu took out a small yellow-brown disk from his Storage Ring, which was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns.

This was a formation disk, the Transmission Array Disk.

In Longyuan World, long-distance transmission is a matter of significant energy consumption. Even if ordinary forces have the ability to create teleportation formations, they won’t use them lightly.

After all, each use could consume as much as twenty million Star Stones, which is unaffordable for most forces.

The key is that this is merely for transmitting some simple files. If it’s for transmitting treasures containing power or directly sending a person, the enormous consumption could bankrupt a small-scale force.

However, the disk in Elder Cheng Yu’s hand was already filled with Star Power, ready for transmission.

In an instant, the newly organized manuscript vanished, and Elder Cheng Yu put away the transmission disk, silently waiting for a response from Lv Potian.

After a long time, Lv Potian finally sent a message to Elder Cheng Yu, instructing him to continue moving forward with Lu Lin, and to leave matters related to Refining Star Mountain aside, which eased Cheng Yu’s mind.

The Flying Boat continued its journey forward.

After sleeping for an entire day, Lu Lin eventually woke up from his slumber. He opened the room door and saw Elder Cheng Yu meditating. Hearing the sound, Cheng Yu opened his eyes to look at Lu Lin.

"Awake? You must be worn out from your time at Refining Star Mountain."

"Hmm."

Lu Lin nodded without explaining what he had been doing, "Elder Cheng Yu, would you like something to eat? I brought some specialties from my hometown."

While speaking, Lu Lin pulled out two Self-Heating Hot Pots from his Storage Ring, slightly spicy, and all-meat.

"Oh, how do you eat this?"

Elder Cheng Yu inquired. If it were ordinary food, he wouldn’t have asked, but Lu Lin stated it was brought from his hometown. As the intelligence leader, Elder Cheng Yu was naturally well-informed about Lu Lin’s background. A genius emerging from a small world, Elder Cheng Yu had never visited Lu Lin’s hometown but knew it well. It seemed to be a world where machinery and martial arts coexisted, though martial arts development there was slow; the strongest individual only reached Star Dust Level, and most ordinary people were below Star Dust.

"You simply need to add water, and it heats automatically."

Lu Lin explained, opening the Self-Heating Hot Pot package, placing the two heating packs aside. He and Elder Cheng Yu added vermicelli, meat, seasonings, pure water one by one, and then put the heating packs back, covered them once water was added.

"Now it’s ready, just wait a quarter of an hour, and it’ll be done."

"Oh? Lu Lin, is it really that simple? I just saw you put in raw vermicelli; can it cook in fifteen minutes?"

"Of course it can."

Lu Lin smiled, and soon fifteen minutes passed. During which Elder Cheng Yu witnessed the marvel of self-heating.

"Alright, you can eat now, Elder Cheng Yu."

"Thank you."

Elder Cheng Yu accepted the Self-Heating Hot Pot and began eating. The taste was something he had never encountered before.

Bear in mind, Cheng Yu, responsible for connections and intelligence at General Mountain, traveled for business almost annually. Across the Southeastern Northwestern Domain of Longyuan World, whether Human territories or Demon Beast regions, and even the Extraterritorial Battlefield, he visited all sorts.

Having tasted countless food varieties yet hadn’t experienced such deliciousness.

Though a bit spicy, the stimulus, the refreshing feeling, made Elder Cheng Yu enjoy it heartily.

"Good stuff, the taste really is great."

After finishing, Elder Cheng Yu praised.

Lu Lin timely took out ten boxes of Self-Heating Hot Pots. "Elder Cheng Yu, these are what I brought from my hometown. If you’re interested, feel free to keep some and try them."

Watching Lu Lin’s expression and actions, Cheng Yu felt increasingly satisfied.

Initially, he’d worried Lu Lin was a rough adventurer, skilled only in combat, not thoughtful. Unexpectedly, just after a brief interaction, Lu Lin had learned and employed this approach to cater to preferences.

The key, this food wasn’t a valuable item, so even if he accepted it, no one would question it.

Gifts from a disciple to his Teacher, fundamentally just some small snacks.

"Haha, well, thank you then. I’ll keep these and share them with some friends and family."

"Lu Lin, you’re quite good, really commendable."

Lu Lin wasn’t sure why Elder Cheng Yu suddenly changed his attitude.

Previously, upon boarding his Flying Boat, although Elder Cheng Yu appeared mild and calm, Lu Lin felt a transparent, invisible membrane between them. Now it seemed, Elder Cheng Yu suddenly accepted him.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Lin had already spent one month on the Flying Continent. The Northwestern Domain was still quite a distance from Refining Star Mountain. Throughout this month, Lu Lin gained a basic understanding of the major forces in Longyuan World.

Additionally, he learned of three evil forces.

Evil Dragon Hall.

Imprisoned Immortal Mountain.

Three Sages Temple.

Elder Cheng Yu had mentioned to Lu Lin, when the Nightmare Demon Mountain Holy Land vanished, it was caused by a palace lord from Evil Dragon Hall.

These three major evil forces don’t target ordinary people or regular cultivators; their sole targets are Holy Lands.
