PS: He himself believes it's the dragon blood that's causing the problem, never considering that it's his own thought. When it comes to the oppressive feeling of the dragon race, Lu Ming would definitely be in the top three. If it weren't for his cowardice, he'd probably be a father by now.
He planned to use his lunch break to find tools or techniques to suppress the restlessness of his dragon blood.
He didn't deliberately refresh the system interface, since such an action would seem suspicious.
So he just had ideas in his mind that could solve his current problem.
The system responded to his idea the next second.
However, the many techniques and items he had anticipated did not appear.
The entire page displays only one item, or rather, one technique.
The Shangqing Sword Scripture - Qi Refining Chapter
Lu Mingfei: "???"
Things always take unexpected turns. For example, Lu Mingfei never expected that the system would respond with a cultivation technique.
Lu Mingfei sat up straight, his eyes wide open.
When it comes to Shangqing, Lu Mingfei only thinks of one name—Shangqing Zhenjing Taiwei Yuchen Daojun Lingbao Tianzun.
Lingbao Tianzun is most famous for his swords, such as the Qingping Sword and the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
Then, thinking back to the iconic magical weapons of the Jie Sect disciples in the system shop...
"Could System Bro have some kind of relationship with the Tongtian Cult Master?" Lu Mingfei mentally complained, his fingers trembling involuntarily.
The style of this story has changed so drastically, jumping directly from a dragon hybrid to a cultivation and immortality journey?
Although Su Youli had mentioned the concept of countless worlds before, it was only something she had heard about and had never actually seen.
But given the current situation—how could Lu Mingfei, with a mere 150 points, exchange for such a supreme secret manual?
Lu Mingfei almost burst out laughing when his gaze swept over the exchange price below the cultivation technique:
150 points! Isn't this tailor-made for him?
If I hadn't gone to rescue Chu Zihang and hadn't obtained Odin's Gungnir to exchange for those 50 points, I really wouldn't be able to afford it now.
"Exchange!" Lu Mingfei confirmed without hesitation.

[System prompt: Please enter the dream at midnight sharp to receive the teachings of the Sword Scripture]
Lu Mingfei's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
His biggest concern about understanding the system was also resolved—the system even thoughtfully provided "after-sales service," which was incredibly considerate!
"Lu Mingfei! Have you lost your mind?" Su Xiaoqiang's embarrassed and annoyed voice suddenly pulled him back to reality.
Coming to his senses, Lu Mingfei realized that, in other people's eyes, his behavior just now looked like that of a freak—
Suddenly, he sat up straight and stared intently at Su Xiaoqiang, revealing a strange, silly grin.
"Huh? I..." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, but saw that Su Xiaoqiang had already retreated to the edge of the chair with her arms crossed, her pretty face flushed.
Ling and Liu Miaomiao also cast questioning glances at them; the former remained expressionless, while the latter looked worried.
"No, let me explain..." Lu Mingfei gestured frantically, but saw Su Xiaoqiang already getting up and leaving angrily.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head helplessly; this was a huge misunderstanding.
……
At 3 p.m. sharp, the school bell rang for the end of the school term at Shilan Middle School.
Lu Mingfei rested his chin on his hand on the desk and glanced at Ling next to him.
After much deliberation, the only suitable accommodation option for Ling was the Rose Garden penthouse that Liu's father had previously shown him.
The house was spacious and bright, with excellent security, and most importantly—it wasn't far from the California sun, so if anything happened, he could find her immediately.
"I'll discuss it with Uncle Liu when I get back..." he thought to himself.
Anyway, he has a lot of cash on hand, so renting for two months is no problem at all.
Once his strength grows to the point where he can overturn the table, it wouldn't be unreasonable to use force to interrogate Zero about his true purpose.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's eyes darkened.
He glanced at Zero, who was quietly reading a book beside him; her platinum hair gleamed softly in the sunlight.
Despite being a mixed-race individual with an unknown level of danger, she was behaving like an ordinary high school girl.
This contrast made Lu Mingfei sigh inwardly—if only she were just an ordinary transfer student.
Most of the students had already left the classroom, and Lu Mingfei began packing his bag to leave.
Seeing this, Liu Miaomiao and Ling tacitly began to tidy up their belongings in unison, like two kittens waiting for their owner to come home.
Su Xiaoqiang, like a Pokémon trainer, silently followed behind the three, observing their every move.
No sooner had Lu Mingfei left than Zhao Menghua walked to the window with a gloomy face.
He stared at the four figures walking away downstairs, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.
"Beep-beep-"
"Young Master Zhao? What a rare guest!" A gruff male voice came from the other end of the phone, with deafening DJ music in the background almost drowning out the voice.
"Brother Fu, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with." Zhao Menghua's voice was very low.
"Hey! Don't talk about helping or not, Zhao Shao's business is my business!" the other party assured, patting his chest.
Zhao Menghua narrowed his eyes: "I want you to help me investigate someone, preferably... teach him a lesson."
"No problem at all! Leave it to me!" the other party readily agreed.
"This person's name is Lu Mingfei..." Zhao Menghua whispered Lu Mingfei's basic information and quickly hung up the phone.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
The humiliation he suffered in front of the whole class this morning has deeply wounded his heart.
But when faced with Lu Mingfei now, he inexplicably became timid—this former loser had become someone he couldn't fathom.
“Let others go and scout ahead first…” Zhao Menghua muttered to himself.
His sinister gaze followed Lu Mingfei's retreating figure in the distance, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
If Lu Mingfei is just bluffing, he has plenty of time to settle accounts slowly.
But if he truly possesses abilities he doesn't know about... then we'll have to think about it carefully.
At the school gate, the Liu family's BMW was already parked on the side of the road.
Surprisingly, it was Liu's father himself who came to pick her up.
At that moment, he was having a pleasant conversation with a bearded man in a black suit who was smoking a cigarette.
Seeing Lu Mingfei and his group walk out of the school gate, Liu's father waved enthusiastically.
Lu Mingfei strode forward: "Uncle Liu, why did you come in person?"
Liu's father patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder with a smile, but his gaze was fixed on Ling:
"I've come to pick you up and also to see your fiancée."
Lu Mingfei turned to Liu Miaomiao with a look of astonishment, and the latter hurriedly waved her hand: "I didn't say that!"
"???" Lu Mingfei was full of questions. How did even Uncle Liu know about this?
Chapter 54 Suspicion
"Dad! What brings you here?" Su Xiaoqiang, who was following behind, suddenly stepped forward and stood next to the bearded man.
Su's father smiled and stubbed out his cigarette: "I had some free time today, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look."
"Hello, Uncle." Lu Mingfei greeted him politely.
"Old Liu, is this the Lu Mingfei you were talking about? He's indeed a handsome man!" Su's father patted Liu's father on the shoulder and praised him.
Lu Mingfei scratched his head sheepishly, but couldn't help but smile.
"Xiaoqiang," Su's father suddenly said seriously, "You must seize the opportunity to get a good boy like Mingfei!"
Su Xiaoqiang's face flushed red: "Dad! Don't talk nonsense!"
“I’m not making this up; your aunt told me this,” said Su’s father.
When Su's father brought up his aunt, Su Xiaoqiang stopped arguing.
In her memory, her aunt Su Youli was a very capable person, perhaps even more capable than her father.
Last year, she also won first prize in the piano category at the Tchaikovsky International Music Competition.
Even the rising star was named by her personally.
In the Su family, she could contradict her father, but she never dared to contradict her mysterious aunt.
The two middle-aged men exchanged a smile, and then simultaneously turned their gazes to Ling, who was standing next to Lu Mingfei.
"You must be Ling, Mingfei's fiancée?" Liu's father asked kindly.
Zero nodded expressionlessly: "Mm."
"Where do you live now?" Liu's father pressed.
“Regent Hotel!” Zero replied expressionlessly.
"Would you like to come stay at my house?" Liu's father suddenly suggested.
Zero blinked, about to agree...
Lu Mingfei's expression suddenly turned serious. He grabbed Ling's wrist and dragged her away from the scene, her platinum hair drawing messy arcs in the air.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Su, let me chat with Ling for a while first."
Pulling Ling behind the school wall, Lu Mingfei reached out to block the view of Liu's father and the others.
His eyes were extremely dangerous as he lowered his voice and asked, "What exactly did you do?"
Zero was somewhat bewildered by this sudden question, but his expressionless face remained unchanged.
