Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 39 - 40 Twenty Million

Chapter 39: Chapter 40 Twenty Million

Zou Tianyu exuded a powerful aura, but Lin Hao was entirely unaffected. With a smiling face, he stepped forward and walked through the big gate.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, a luxurious atmosphere enveloped him. This villa alone had a living room that spanned three to four hundred square meters. At first glance, the seemingly simple retro decor in the room made use of top-notch materials in every inch.

The scent of rosewood flowed in the air; stepping through the door felt like entering another world.

It was no exaggeration to say that just this living room was worth at least a hundred million.

"This old guy is really loaded," Lin Hao thought with satisfaction. The wealthier the other party, the more he stood to gain.

"Housekeeper," Zou Tianyu beckoned, and a well-dressed housekeeper approached, "Go prepare my treasured top-grade Longjing tea."

"No need for tea, Zou," Lin Hao interjected, "I’ve come today for a serious matter."

"Oh?" Zou Tianyu smiled. "Alright, housekeeper, you may leave. Without my call, no one is to enter."

"Understood, Mr. Zou," the housekeeper nodded and withdrew.

"Come, have a seat, Lin Hao," Zou Tianyu invited him to sit down with a genial smile. "You’ve been causing quite the stir these last few days."

"Thanks to your help behind the scenes, Mr. Zou," Lin Hao graciously said. With the events of the recent days, it was clear that Zou Tianyu had his hand in things, or else Lin Hao would have already faced trouble.

"So, I’m bringing you a good opportunity, aren’t I?" Lin Hao didn’t beat around the bush as he produced a thumb-sized transparent bottle from his person.

Inside it lay a green Kaiyuan Pill, quietly resting.

"What is this?" Zou Tianyu asked curiously.

"It’s called a Kaiyuan Pill. The name isn’t important; what matters is that it can turn a decently-gifted ordinary person into a Cultivator."

"As it happens, the woman you sent to seduce me—if she takes it, she’ll be eligible to become a Cultivator."

Lin Hao’s tone was casual, as if he was discussing something as mundane as everyday life.

But.

To Zou Tianyu, it was like being struck by thunder.

Lin Hao landed such a bombshell right at the start, and Zou’s old heart was barely able to handle it.

What did being a Cultivator entail? Zou Tianyu was well aware.

Once someone became a Cultivator, they were no longer bound by the superficial rules of Huaxia. Such people transcended the ordinary.

They were above the rest!

Every Cultivator was akin to a national treasure!

And Lin Hao.

He claimed that a mere elixir could make Yao Mengchen into a Cultivator.

Zou Tianyu was dumbfounded.

Since when did Cultivators become so cheap?

"Heh heh..." After a while, Zou Tianyu feigned composure, "Lin Hao, are you sure you’re not joking with me?"

"Twenty million," Lin Hao stated indifferently, not in the mood to explain. "You’ve dealt with quite a bit of trouble for me these days. As a friendly price, I’ll sell it to you for twenty million."

"Mr. Zou, you should understand the significance of a Cultivator, as well as the importance of this elixir."

"It took me quite some time to produce."

Several hours, in fact.

His time was very valuable.

"Alright!" Although unsure whether Lin Hao was telling the truth, two hundred million was not a significant amount for Zou.

Even if Lin Hao was selling a fake, Zou wouldn’t lose out; Lin Hao would then owe him a favor.

Having a Cultivator owe a favor was definitely worth twenty million. In case of future troubles, it could be that all it would take is one word from the former at a critical moment to rescue him from dire straits.

If the medicine was real.

Then Zou Tianyu would make a fortune!

He had lived for decades, served in numerous cities, and met a few Cultivators through his official connections.

Yet, he had never heard of such an elixir.

If it was real, was its value merely two hundred million?

It might not even be purchasable for two billion!

Zou Tianyu’s ascent to his current position proved he was no fool; more than that, he was shrewd.

This deal seemed to be a sure win.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he agreed. For him, twenty million wasn’t even a dent.

Seeing how readily Zou agreed, Lin Hao felt a tinge of regret.

Had he known, he would have asked for more money.

Money was always better in excess.

Nonetheless, Lin Hao didn’t say more. He took out a card and tossed it on the coffee table: "Transfer the money to this card."

Zou Tianyu picked up the card, took out his phone, and within a minute said, "The money has been transferred."

"Thank you." Lin Hao tossed over the elixir to Zou Tianyu as if it were trash and picked up the bank card. "This elixir, give it to Yao Mengchen, it may not work for others."

Indeed, it may not work for others.

Without Lin Hao’s help, apart from newborns, the likelihood for a person whose physique was already set to become a Cultivator was only seventy percent.

But for Yao Mengchen, it was a hundred percent.

Because in a previous life, she had been a Cultivator, one who had sensed Primordial Qi herself.

In this life, Lin Hao was simply making her a Cultivator ahead of schedule.

Zou Tianyu took the elixir and set it aside. Honestly, he didn’t place much importance on it.

Perhaps, it was just an excuse for Lin Hao to ask for money.

He suddenly became serious, "Lin Hao, keep a low profile in your actions for a while. If this continues, there are some things I may not be able to cover for."

"Don’t worry," Lin Hao replied nonchalantly—it didn’t matter to him whether Zou could cover it or not.

"Alright, Mengchen will be home for lunch, let’s eat together. She’s been unhappy since I sent her to meet you last time. Take today as an opportunity to get to know each other better." Zou Tianyu’s demeanor softened again.

As Lin Hao was about to speak, a ringtone suddenly sounded from him. He took out his phone to see a call from an unfamiliar number.

Still, he answered it.

There weren’t many people who knew his number.

The phone provided by Yu Sen had high security; ordinary people couldn’t easily get the number.

"Hello, may I speak to Lin Hao?" A stranger’s voice came through the phone after he answered.

"Yes," Lin Hao replied.

"I’m Chen Yifan’s father. Lin Hao, our Yifan is in trouble. He said you’re the only one who can help him."

"What?" Lin Hao was startled. "Where are you?"

"Tianxing Road!"

"Uncle, wait for me; I’ll be right there." Without further ado, Lin Hao hung up the phone and immediately got up, addressing Zou Tianyu,

"Mr. Zou, let’s reschedule lunch; I have an urgent matter."

"Alright, do you need help?" Zou Tianyu had overheard the phone conversation.

"No need."

Having said that, Lin Hao’s figure had already vanished.

Chen Yifan was in trouble, and Lin Hao rushed off without any delay, not even asking what the matter was.

Because if it concerned Chen Yifan.

Regardless of what it was.

Regardless of right or wrong.

Lin Hao would settle it!
