“Master, you okay?” Elder Bai asked grandly after seeing Zhen Yuan come to a realization.
“Ah is okay, just a small quarrel with an insignificant person!” Zhen Yuan waved his hand.
“People who are not important?” Elder Bai and Li Gomu looked at each other in astonishment, they did not understand the young man's intentions.
Realizing his stupidity, Zhen Yuan tried to shift the subject.
“Take this, and share it with your remaining troops. That's all I can give you” Zhen Yuan took out a storage bag.
Li Gomu took it without hesitation, at this time their strength had fallen so it was necessary to resurrect it.
“That's better! Take as much time as possible to recover. As a guilt, I will be guarding the Iron Body city for a while. Remember to be wise in using ‘itu’, I am sure you can make the right choice”
Zhen Yuan had elder Bai return to deliver Li Gomu to rest, not allowing him to ask about the ‘itu’ mentioned by Zhen Yuan.
On the way to deliver Li Gomu, elder Bai said, “Master is indeed a mysterious person, you definitely want to inquire about the ‘itu’ mentioned by him right? But he did not explain it which indicates you have to know it yourself.
Now you are the temporary leader of the Iron Body city after the death of grand elder Li, until patriarch Li or any other Mortal cultivator comes, you will manage and lead here so you have to think like a leader, skip the narrow limits of thinking and look at it from a different point of view”
During the trip, elder Bai explained and gave Li Gomu plenty of input. He would not have expected that his thought would be a perinciple of the patriarchs that the Li family maintained for many long years.

Li Gomu continued to think about what Zhen Yuan said at the end of their meeting today. “What should I set?” He scratched his non-itchy head hoping to find an answer.
He thought so hard he didn't realize his hand was clenched in the storage bag he was holding. It was only when the storage bag was draining its simple defense that Li Gomu was resuscitated.
He opened the storage bag after putting a drop of his blood on a small formation. That way the storage bag would only be his. Just when he saw the contents of the storage bag, Li Gomu was stunned to even hold his breath.
“Master Zhen, your kindness I will always remember!” Li Gomu shed his tears. He had not expected Zhen Yuan to give him anything so precious. He also realized that the intent of Zhen Yuan's words was none other than this.
After a while, Li Gomu stabilized his position. He took one of the pill bottles and started drinking a pill from there. Soon a huge amount of soul energy in appeared within Li Gomu's dantian and processed quickly making it part of his strength.
Slowly but surely, Li Gomu's energy rose and grew stronger until in the fifteenth minute Li Gomu released a strong pressure. He smiled in satisfaction, his aura now emitting a layer 6 Soul.
When his strength was at the 5th layer, he became the Li family's first genius. But now that his strength had reached the 6th layer, he had been comparable to the geniuses of the Shen family.
“Call all Cultivators of the Peak Soul realm! I have some things to say!” Li Gomu gave his orders to an elder who was guarding.
Of course, without Li Gomu realizing it, two people were watching him in a hidden corner of the room. The two were none other than elder Bai and Zhen Yuan. They both used one of the techniques from elder Bai, this technique was similar to the one used by the demons when hiding themselves at the beginning of the attack.
“Master, will Li Gomu have a wise decision this time around? I think giving it a Soul Essence Pill that much would be very dangerous” elder Bai asked.
“That sounds to me so generously giving the Li family a precious pill! I don't want to suffer a loss because of this. I only gave him 3 Soul Essence Pill, just assume I made amends for not saving grand elder Li Pinggo!” Zhen Yuan denied.
“The Li family currently only has 10 Peak Soul cultivators left, with 3 Soul Essence pills then there will be seven who do not get justice”
“It was a problem from Li Gomu. We are here just want to see if he overcame his problem correctly or not!”
Elder Bai nodded, he and Zhen Yuan no longer spoke and continued to pay attention step by step to Li Gomu
Zhen Yuan guarded the Iron Body city for 5 days until patriarch Li Jingtian arrived. During those 5 days, many herds of beasts as well as demons were attacking the city but all of them could be easily overcome by elder Huang and the Second elder.
