Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 324 - 322: System Upgrade

Early in the morning, Lu Heng slowly opened his eyes.

After a night of cultivation, an unprecedented feeling of power was surging within him.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for breaking through the Qi Refining Realm and reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm!]

[System Notification: As the host has been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the system will automatically update. Estimated time is one hour. Please be patient, host... ]

This sudden system notification left him momentarily stunned.

He didn’t expect to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly through cultivation.

Indeed, I am truly a genius in cultivation!

Moreover, what he didn’t expect was that the system would update once his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Fortunately, it’s just an update.

Otherwise, how would he manage the current situation without the system? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Bang bang bang!"

As Lu Heng was waiting for the system update to complete, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

He didn’t need to think to know that the person knocking was Director He.

Opening the door, it was indeed Director He as he had expected.

However, unlike before, Director He was accompanied by Group Leader Qi this time.

"Good morning, Old Taoist!"

Director He greeted him very politely.

Both he and Group Leader Qi had panda eyes and looked a bit tired.

Clearly, they hadn’t slept last night.

"Good morning to you two young friends as well."

Lu Heng smiled faintly and then asked, "I wonder why you two young friends came to see me so early?"

"Old Taoist, Wu Tingjue, who was drained of blood by a zombie and turned into a dried corpse last night, suddenly resurrected!"

Director He, having a favor to ask, wouldn’t beat around the bush.

He directly told Lu Heng everything that had happened last night.

"Oh?"

Lu Heng feigned a serious expression, furrowing his brows.

How could he not know what happened last night?

After all, he was the one causing all the trouble.

"Old Taoist, this is absolutely true!"

"Wu Tingjue’s resurrection last night scared everyone!"

"Compared to the last time with the dried corpse reviving, after coming back to life, Wu Tingjue not only regained his original appearance but could also walk, think, and speak..."

Group Leader Qi also added.

After hearing this, Lu Heng gently stroked his long beard and replied in a deep voice, "If that’s the case, it proves that the zombie has become more formidable."

"It seems that my previous calculations were correct!"

"The more human blood that zombie drinks, the faster its power grows..."

"Old Taoist, if we let the zombie keep drinking human blood like this, wouldn’t it be increasingly difficult to deal with?"

Director He inquired further.

Lu Heng smiled lightly and said, "You two can rest assured, the Spiritual Qi hasn’t fully recovered yet."

"Even if the zombie drinks more human blood, it can’t break through the constraints of this environment."

Upon hearing this, Director He frowned and said, "Old Taoist, are you saying that..."

"Because the Spiritual Qi hasn’t fully recovered, the power of the Extraordinary is limited to a certain range?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Heng nodded and smiled, "Unless the Spiritual Qi further recovers, no one can break through this limit."

Upon hearing this, Director He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Group Leader Qi.

Both let out a sigh of relief.

They were just afraid that the blood-drinking zombie would continue to strengthen without restraint.

If it could fly and disappear at will, who could restrain it then?

"By the way, Old Taoist..."

"Why did Wu Tingjue resurrect? And how did he regain his ability to move and think as he did in life?"

After chatting for a while, Director He finally asked the question he most wanted to know.

They, together with Henderson and others, stayed up all night examining Wu Tingjue’s corpse.

Unfortunately, Wu Tingjue’s corpse was no different from other corpses, and they were left with nothing new after waiting the whole night.

At that time, Director He, like the others, was disappointed.

But just as he was about to return to his room, Group Leader Qi stopped him.

Group Leader Qi gestured towards the room opposite, and after a moment of thought, Director He suddenly realized.

If Henderson and the others couldn’t find clues on Wu Tingjue’s corpse, it meant hope for immortality had dimmed.

But they were different!

After all, they had a cultivator by their side!

With Taoist Zhenyuan’s vast knowledge, he might know the truth behind Wu Tingjue’s resurrection!

Therefore, when they posed this question, both Director He and Group Leader Qi looked at Lu Heng with great anticipation.

How could Lu Heng have known that his casual actions would stir up such a desire for immortality in these people?

After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Wu Tingjue’s resurrection is likely due to a trace of power from the blood-drinking zombie remaining in his body."

"That blood-drinking zombie itself is a corpse, of course, it has the power to resurrect corpses."

"This trace of power preserved part of Wu Tingjue’s soul, preventing it from dissipating quickly."

"However, once this trace of power is exhausted, Wu Tingjue will lose support, and the remaining part of his soul will dissipate, turning back into a corpse."

After listening to Lu Heng’s explanation, Director He asked with piercing eyes, "Old Taoist, if one could obtain the power of the blood-drinking zombie, even if one died, could they continue to exist in this world?"

Group Leader Qi, although not daring to directly meet Lu Heng’s gaze, had not taken his eyes off Lu Heng throughout.

Seeing their somewhat out-of-line reactions, a thought suddenly occurred to Lu Heng.

Could these two be thinking of using the method he casually fabricated for immortality?

He didn’t rush to answer but rather pretended to be deep in thought.

As time passed, Director He and Group Leader Qi began to show signs of impatience.

This reaction further confirmed Lu Heng’s suspicions.

These two were indeed craving immortality!

The wealthier and more powerful a person is, the more they fear death, and the less willing they are to relinquish their power and wealth.

For people like this, living is a kind of enjoyment.

Alas, no matter how much power, status, or wealth, one cannot escape death!

Once you die, it means losing everything, no longer able to enjoy prosperity and riches.

At this moment, Lu Heng really wanted to say...

I haven’t even obtained immortality yet, how could it be your turn?

Moreover, apart from these two, the other national investigators probably have similar intentions.

"Perhaps there’s a big opportunity in this?"

Lu Heng thought to himself.

But this was not the time to think about it; he still needed to deal with the two guys in front of him, who were trying to achieve immortality.

After burying these thoughts in his heart, Lu Heng nodded slightly and said, "Indeed so!"

"If you can acquire the blood-drinking zombie’s power, you can indeed remain in the mortal world."

"However..."

At that moment, he suddenly changed his tone.

"However, what?"

Director He and Group Leader Qi quickly asked.

Lu Heng shook his head and continued, "However, that would make you another blood-drinking zombie."

"To maintain your presence, you would have to feed on blood."

"And as time goes on, your rationality and personality would gradually be eroded..."
