There was only one day left before departing for the Ugly Country.

Lu Li dealt with everything that needed attending to.

Such as registering businesses and the like.

Settling Wang Jun who just arrived.

Having Xiaoqing and Xiaozhao purchase equipment, etc.

In the end, there was only one last thing left to handle.

That was to treat Elder Liu of the Liu Family.

To be honest, Lu Li valued this matter quite highly.

Not because healing Elder Liu might earn him a villa.

But because he wanted to know if the energy rays, after their qualitative change, have enhanced their healing capabilities.

At the Liu Family's traditional courtyard villa.

Liu Xiuming, Liu Xiuliang, Liu Peinan, and others all gathered at the entrance.

Having heard from Lu Li before that two or three more treatments were needed, they didn't consider it a big deal, like preparing for a celebration, for example.

Inside, Dr. Henqi stood respectfully aside.

After the previous treatments Lu Li administered to Elder Liu,

he obtained diagnostic reports from the hospital through the Liu Family.

Knowing that Elder Liu's rheumatism had significantly reversed.

This made Dr. Henqi, a world-leading expert in rheumatism, look at Lu Li with admiration.

Elder Liu was conversing with Lu Li, "Divine Doctor Lu, after your treatments, my rheumatism feels much better. Before, I could only use a wheelchair, but lately, I can walk around nearby on my own, haha, your medical skills are truly divine."

Lu Li smiled, "Being able to treat is one thing, but the most important thing is daily maintenance."

Elder Liu nodded hastily, "I will follow your advice."

Lu Li grunted, "Then let's start today's treatment. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Ugly Country, let's try to heal you today."

What?

Is Divine Doctor Lu planning to completely heal Elder Liu today?

Liu Xiuming, Liu Xiuliang, and the others couldn't help but exchange glances, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Because according to what Lu Li said previously, two or three more treatments were needed.

If he really could heal Elder Liu today.

Doesn't that imply that Divine Doctor Lu wasn't using his full ability before?

What does this mean?

This means that Divine Doctor Lu's medical skills are even higher than everyone imagined!

How shrewd Liu Xiuming is, though Lu Li hadn't truly healed Elder Liu yet, he already gave a knowing glance to Liu Peinan.

Liu Peinan understood and quietly slipped away from the crowd.

Lu Li had already noticed the situation, but he chose not to focus on it.

At this moment, he concentrated his spirit on Elder Liu's legs.

Lu Li activated his microscopic vision, observing Elder Liu's legs while injecting energy rays.

Elder Liu let out a sound, "It's hotter than last time."

Lu Li kept his head down and did not respond.

He saw the energy rays were exterminating the bacteria in the legs at a speed dozens of times faster than before.

Moreover, under the effect of the energy rays, the parts of Elder Liu's legs that had been corroded by bacteria were rapidly recovering.

What surprised him the most was that some irreversible joint damage in Elder Liu was also recovering under the energy rays.

Although the speed was relatively slow.

It seemed a large amount of energy rays was needed to restore them to their original state.

No, it's not just about restoring to the original state.

Lu Li observed that the energy rays seemed to have acquired the ability to reverse aging damage in cells.

Although it takes a lot of energy rays to reverse a single cell, this is already a miracle!

What does this represent?

It means that the energy rays, which transformed after the qualitative change, can keep people eternally young!

Of course, Lu Li observed that if energy rays were to be used to restore someone's youth or preserve it, it would consume an enormous amount of energy and require prolonged immersion.

Judging from the current reverse aging and damage repair of Elder Liu's cells.

Lu Li felt that even if he exhausts all the energy within him, it might not actually "reverse" a year's worth of youth.

However, the energy rays do not consume as rapidly within his own body.

Lu Li thought to himself, "No wonder during my third deep evolution, I had such a strange dream, it turns out the qualitative change of the energy rays has given me longevity."

This is a sign of breaking through bonds!

He estimated that was not a dream, but rather a manifestation of consciousness as he truly broke away from some "rules".

Only he mistook this consciousness as a dream.

He doesn't know how long he can currently live.

But based on the application of energy rays on Elder Liu's legs, and the consumption within his own body.

His current lifespan might already extend beyond a thousand years.

"This is just the third deep evolution, and I already have a lifespan of at least a thousand years?"

Lu Li felt somewhat incredulous, "If I undergo a fourth, fifth deep evolution, and the energy rays undergo another qualitative change, wouldn't my lifespan increase to several thousand years? Even... true eternity?"

In Lu Li's thoughts, the treatment was nearing completion.

At this time, Elder Liu looked incredulously at his legs and asked, "Divine... Divine Doctor Lu, why... why do my legs feel unusually light?"

Lu Li stood up and smiled, "Your legs are healed. In the future, I can't promise fast running, as you're quite old, but jogging or brisk walking should be fine. Why don't you get up and walk around?"

Liu Xiuming and Liu Xiuliang remained composed, wanting to see if Elder Liu could indeed do as Lu Li said.

Dr. Henqi was the same, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Alright, I'll give it a try."

Elder Liu stood up.

Liu Peilin immediately rushed in from outside, handing over a cane.

However, Elder Liu waved it away.

Not only that, he walked briskly towards the outside.

He didn't look like someone who had just recovered from rheumatic suffering.

On the contrary, he looked like a very healthy old man, as if he had never been sick.

What moved everyone even more was that as soon as Elder Liu came outside, he actually started jogging along the paths in the yard, as if he were a sixty or seventy-year-old, where was the frailness of an eighty or ninety-year-old?

Liu Xiuming and Liu Xiuliang exchanged a stunned glance.

Dr. Henqi was already amazed, looking at Lu Li with a gaze that had transformed from admiration to awe!

Perhaps he was afraid that the old man might fall.

Liu Peilin hurriedly stepped forward to stop him from continuing to run.

Then, a group of people quickly gathered in front of Lu Li, expressing their endless gratitude.

"Divine Doctor Lu, thank you so much."

"Your medical skills are truly incredible; in just two or three courses, you've cured the old man's rheumatism completely."

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Lu, thank you."

Liu Xiuming, Liu Xiuliang, and others were on the verge of kneeling before Lu Li!

Lu Li chatted with everyone for a few moments and was about to take his leave.

At that moment, Liu Peinan hurriedly came in from outside.

Liu Xiuming quickly held onto Lu Li with a smile on his face, saying, "Divine Doctor Lu, why don't you stay for a meal?"

Lu Li knew he wanted to take the opportunity to give him something in private during the free time later.

However, he was indeed very busy today and had no time for such things.

He explained directly, "I have some other matters to attend to, really no time for a meal, how about we talk after I return from the Ugly Country?"

Liu Xiuming didn't dare to refute Lu Li's words.

But he also couldn't show no appreciation at all.

He had no choice but to take Lu Li aside to a quieter place and express his intentions.

He spoke very tactfully.

He mentioned how Lu Li had been living next door for so long, he must have gotten used to it.

Coincidentally, his house was empty and getting wasted, so he offered it to Lu Li.

Lu Li had been eyeing that villa for a long time, and now hearing Liu Xiuming mention it proactively, naturally, he didn't refuse.

In the end, Liu Xiuming said he would have the transfer procedures completed quickly, so that Lu Li could have full ownership when he returned.

As for how to transfer the property without Lu Li being there, he believed Liu Xiuming had a way and didn't bother to inquire.

...

The next day, the day to head to the Ugly Country arrived.

Because there was only one direct flight at 11:30 AM.

Lu Li and Shen Xia set out early for Modong Airport.

Of course, they weren't the only ones heading there.

Also, Qin Liang and a few of his company people were there.

Plus Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, Wang Yu, and a dozen others on business.

As for the group of people Qin Liang found to arrange the purchase of the airplane, they were boarding from Beijing, and would meet on the other side in the Ugly Country, they hadn't had time to meet yet.

Lu Li's trip to the Ugly Country this time, to participate in the so-called Nathan's hot dog challenge, was just for fun; the main task was to help Li Ming bring back the fugitive.

During check-in, Lu Li and Shen Xia requested to sit together.

The airline, accordingly, arranged their seats together.

After waiting for a while in the departure lounge, Lu Li, Shen Xia, and the others completed the boarding procedures and got on the plane.

Inside the plane.

There was still some time before takeoff, so Lu Li was chatting leisurely with Shen Xia.

They had just started talking when Zhang Guocheng suddenly came over.

He politely asked Shen Xia to go to his seat first, indicating he wanted to discuss something important with Lu Li, and would switch back afterwards.

Shen Xia was quite understanding, seeing Lu Li nod slightly, she agreed promptly.

As soon as Zhang Guocheng sat down, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lu, Director Li asked me to tell you that if we really manage to bring the person back this time, he will definitely make sure you're rewarded for the effort."

Lu Li chuckled softly and said, "You all should know my situation, money is not something I'm short of, how will you make sure my effort doesn't go unrewarded?"

Zhang Guocheng blinked and said, "Aren't you running a business?"

Lu Li nodded, "Yes, so?"

With a broad smile, Zhang Guocheng said, "For all the machines, instruments, and future operations needed in your enterprise, we can assure you support on our end; I can't reveal too much about other matters, but for machines, instruments…"

He elaborated a bit.

Lu Li roughly understood.

The implication was that the machines and instruments he had purchased were not the most advanced, yet they still required an expenditure of two or three billion.

Zhang Guocheng could provide the most advanced machines and instruments at a price much cheaper than those "second-rate goods" he was buying.

Additionally, in terms of other benefits, future sales, and so on, Zhang Guocheng could guarantee everything.

His words subtly suggested that they could ensure Lu Li's enterprise firmly rooted itself in the industry quickly and grew rapidly.

After a bit of calculation, Lu Li deduced that what Zhang Guocheng said could bring him several billion in profit annually.

Yes, several billion.

This revelation made Lu Li both pleased and surprised.

He finally understood how much Li Ming valued the "traitor" hiding in the Ugly Country.

Lu Li realized that if he successfully brought the "traitor" back this time, he might never have to worry about money again, focusing instead on evolution.

This made him resolute on the mission—to bring the person back no matter what.

Thinking of this, Lu Li inquired, "Can you tell me more specifically about that person's information?"

Seeing the boarding passengers increasing, Zhang Guocheng said, "It's not convenient to talk for now, how about we discuss it thoroughly after reaching the Ugly Country?"

Lu Li responded with a nod, "Alright, let's discuss it in the Ugly Country."

Zhang Guocheng said no more, turning to go back to his seat.

After a while, Shen Xia came back to take her seat.

She was quite wise, refraining from inquiring about anything.

With a cheerful smile, Shen Xia suggested, "Lu Li, I heard Atlantic City is very close to New York, should we go there for a visit once we're in the Ugly Country?"

Atlantic City?

Isn't that just like Macau, my cash machine!

The key point is, I'm temporarily blacklisted only in Macau, not in Atlantic City.

Lu Li pondered, maybe win a few billion US Dollars there for fun?
