Lu Li arrived outside the Guanghua University School of Medicine with Peng Hao.
This was one of the top medical schools in the country, renowned for its academic atmosphere and long history. During special historical periods, it had made significant contributions to the Republic.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lu?"
Just as they were about to enter the campus, a middle-aged man in a neatly pressed suit with graying hair jogged up to them at the gate, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully.
Lu Li glanced at the man. Above his head, the following information appeared:
Name: Li Weiting
Age: 56
Remaining lifespan: 24 years, 38 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes, 59 seconds
"I am Mr. Guo's housekeeper. He asked me to wait here for you," Li Weiting said.
After a short pause, he added, "Mr. Guo originally wanted to greet you in person, but he was concerned it might draw unnecessary attention and interfere with your plans. So, he's waiting for you inside."
"That's fine," Lu Li replied, his gaze still lingering on the campus behind the gate. He then turned to Li Weiting and nodded.
"This way, Mr. Lu."
Li Weiting gestured politely.
The moment he saw Lu Li, he recognized him as the being who had appeared that night like a deity. He immediately understood why Mr. Guo and the others treated this man with such extreme caution—and reverence.
Li Weiting walked slightly ahead, occasionally slowing down to observe Lu Li.
Lu Li strolled calmly, his eyes casually surveying the campus. It wasn't his first visit. His cousin, Yu Yanjun, was an undergraduate here, currently a sophomore.
...
As they reached the northeast corner of the campus, the number of students dwindled, and the surroundings grew increasingly serene.
A small grove of lush trees. A cobblestone path paved with blue stone slabs.
Walking along the path into the grove, they soon came upon a pair of large iron gates. Beyond the gates lay a small garden in Western style, and behind that stood a five-story classical building.
In front of the iron gates, the four heads of the Guo Family stood impeccably dressed. They were pushing a wheelchair bearing the elderly Guo Yanzhi...
Beside the Guo Family members stood a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a scholarly demeanor. Lu Li had seen him before—he was Yan Fuqing, the dean of the Guanghua University Medical School.
When they saw Lu Li appear, all five members of the Guo Family stiffened slightly, then hurried forward to greet him.
Upon seeing Lu Li, Yan Fuqing's pupils contracted. That godlike figure from the recent night instantly resurfaced in his mind. A trace of fear showed on his face as he followed behind the Guo Family.
"Mr. Lu!"
"Mr. Lu!"
Guo Min'an and the others bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Lu!" Yan Fuqing also greeted him with respect.
As a doctor, what gave him his status? It was the ability to heal and save lives.
But the man before him disregarded all conventions—he could snatch a person back from the hands of Death itself.
"Mr. Lu, this is Dean Yan Fuqing. I thought you might find him useful in the future..." Guo Min'an introduced.
"Hello," Lu Li replied with a gentle expression.
"Mr. Guo, how's your health?" Lu Li turned to the elderly man in the wheelchair with a smile.
Above his head appeared:
Name: Guo Yanzhi
Age: 98
Remaining lifespan: 363 days, 12 hours, 50 minutes, 31 seconds
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu. I feel much better!" Guo Yanzhi quickly replied from the wheelchair.
Lu Li nodded slightly.
He hadn't had this ability for long and was still studying its full range.
From past transactions, Lu Li had discovered that if he granted someone an additional year of life, it would effectively rewind their biological state by one year—completely restoring them to how they were a year ago.
"Let's go take a look inside," Lu Li said as he glanced at the building.
Yan Fuqing immediately took out a set of keys, walked up to the iron gate, and opened it.
With a creak, the twin gates slowly swung open...
...
Everyone followed Lu Li into the garden.
At the center of the garden was a small fountain with a statue of a nude woman.
They approached the building.
Yan Fuqing produced another key and opened the front door...
Past the entrance hall, an opulent and classically decorated living room came into view.
On either side of the hall were two spiral staircases winding upward.
"This building was originally constructed by a British-Jewish businessman during the Republic era. It was later incorporated into our university and has remained unused ever since," Yan Fuqing explained. This was his first time inside as well, and he was awed by the surroundings.
Lu Li appeared calm as he walked through the building.
Five stories tall. Classical Baroque-style interior.
A massive library spanning multiple floors.
Residential quarters.
Office spaces.
A banquet hall...
It had everything one could need!
Lu Li reached the fifth floor and entered the master bedroom.
Looking out the window, he saw a lush grove, the open lawns and lake of Guanghua University, students walking by, historic buildings...
The view was stunning.
"Not bad," Lu Li said with a smile.
The Immortality Club had officially set sail.
