Chapter 421: Chapter 421: The Road Is Not Wicked, It Depends on the Person

In Lu Xiao’s eyes, what Heavenly Man plays with is just one meridian; once the Inner Qi within the meridian becomes saturated, there indeed is no way to enhance it any further.

As for reopening a new meridian or something of that sort, it’s completely nonsensical and unrealistic.

Unless, like Mutants whose meridians overflow, they could also crystallize some kind of Energy Crystal; then there might be some merit in trying.

But there’s no experience to draw from on this matter; it’s entirely groping in the dark.

The only person in the world with overflowing meridians is Liuli Hong, and Liuli Hong probably wouldn’t dare to try it either.

After all, if a Mutant encounters a problem, they can try again using different organs; but if a Heavenly Man ruins his meridians, they’re truly done for.

"Old Luli, tell me, have you ever tried to condense the Inner Qi from your meridians?" Nevertheless, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

"Nonsense, of course I’ve tried, but it was useless."

"After compressing the Inner Qi in the meridians, it just becomes purer, yet the meridians remain in a saturated state."

Lu Xiao spread his hands: "Then there’s nothing I can do; after all, the Inner Qi in my meridians is far from saturated so there’s no use in trying."

"Hey, can’t you speed it up a bit?" Liuli Hong complained.

Lu Xiao: ???

Am I not fast enough?

It hasn’t been long since I became a Heavenly Man.

"Never mind that, you almost got me there; we’re discussing serious matters here! You can’t keep teaching Yan Yun that way!" Liuli Hong shook his head, almost getting sidetracked by Lu Xiao.

"There’s no problem with being a master; the disciple is willing too. It’s just you, the bystander, who isn’t happy," retorted Lu Xiao sharply.

"I’m afraid you two will stray onto the wrong path!" Liuli Hong’s face was dark with solemnity, thinking to himself, I do it for your own good, yet you call me nosy, huh?

"Alright already, enough with this talk of wrong paths; you nearly led me astray just the other day," Lu Xiao said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.

After his talk with Liuli Hong, he had indeed gotten fixated on the idea that using Mutated Crystals like a cheat was somewhat wicked.

But after spending three days fishing with Yan Yun on the life raft, he finally understood. Whether Liuli Hong deemed it wicked or twisted, it was nothing more than an instinctive rejection or opposition to the unknown.

Do Mutants not kill? Do Heavenly Men not fight?

Murder and plunder happen all the time.

Furthermore, Mutated Crystals themselves can be used to create Mutants; Chen Fei became one in that very way.

So, is Chen Fei’s path also an evil one?

It’s just a difference in how the Mutated Crystals are utilized.

Some people enhance their power by swallowing Mutated Crystals, while the new path I’ve created uses empty Mutated Crystals as an energy vessel.

Essentially, there’s no difference.

Moreover, in the end, whether something is wicked or not depends on the person.

Some people gab about justice while doing dirty deeds, while others may fall into the Abyss yet keep their hearts toward the light.

"What exactly did I lead you astray with?" Liuli Hong was somewhat puzzled by Lu Xiao’s words.

"It’s nothing; just don’t worry about it," Lu Xiao decided not to explain to Liuli Hong.

Some beliefs are deeply rooted; some old folks are quite stubborn.

Even if he did explain to Liuli Hong, it was highly likely that he would not accept it.

So the only option was to let the facts speak for themselves when the time came.

"I am going to mind this, non-interference won’t do; you, Lu Xiao, watch out!" Liuli Hong sprang into action as soon as he said it, dashing right up to Lu Xiao.

Of course, Liuli Hong didn’t attack with any moves; he exerted his full power to release his Inner Qi, attempting to suppress Lu Xiao with the sheer volume of it.

"Are you nuts? I’ve already told you my superpower is ten times that of a Super-level Mutant..."

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and then casually unleashed some of his superpower.

The overwhelming Mutant Energy, torrential like a river, immediately swept away Liuli Hong’s Inner Qi.

Liuli Hong stepped back, his mustache quivering with irritation, yet he was powerless to retaliate.

Of course, in his heart, Liuli Hong was also alarmed; damn it, everything Lu Xiao said was true.

The amount of superpower Lu Xiao released just now was... truly ridiculous.

"Anything else? If not, I’m going to sleep. I’ve been fishing for three days and I’m tired." After a few minutes of silence, Lu Xiao was the first to speak.

They couldn’t remain at an impasse forever; Liuli Hong needed to be given a way out.

It isn’t easy being of such an advanced age.

Besides, Lu Xiao could understand Liuli Hong’s concerns; the old man indeed meant well.

"If you want to sleep, just sleep. I’m off to drink with someone else, do as you please, I’m done with this." Liuli Hong smoothly took the hint.

What else could he do?

He had intended to suppress Lu Xiao with his strength, but now it seemed... Lu Xiao’s power was far more formidable than he had imagined.

Especially that ludicrously vast amount of Mutant Energy, sheesh.
