Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 40 - 41: What’s the Real Background

Chapter 40: Chapter 41: What’s the Real Background

Lin Hao left without a backward glance, without a trace of reluctance.

In his heart, Chen Yifan was the most important.

Zou Tianyu watched Lin Hao until his figure disappeared, then turned to the second floor of the villa: "Mengchen, come out..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Mengchen’s figure quietly appeared from a room on the second floor: "Dad, did you really spend twenty million on a pill, believing that eating it could turn someone into a cultivator?"

As Zou Tianyu’s daughter, Yao Mengchen naturally knew a bit about cultivators, and she had been striving to become one.

She finally understood, from the previous conversation, why Lin Hao was so powerful.

She had never imagined that man could be a cultivator.

"Hehe, Mengchen, your old man certainly doesn’t believe it," Zou Tianyu said. "But what’s the harm in spending twenty million to gain the goodwill of a cultivator?"

"I’ve received news that the little fellow entered Binhai University with top scores in both the literary and martial arts exams. Since you’ll both be at the same school, you should get along well with him for a while, foster some feelings."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Yao Mengchen’s cheeks blushed, and she looked somewhat flirtatious. "He has a girlfriend, how could he be with me?"

"So what if he does? Our daughter is naturally beautiful, isn’t it easy to steal someone’s heart? Besides, our country doesn’t have a rule that a man can only marry one wife."

Zou Tianyu could tell his daughter’s thoughts. At first, he was dismissive when mentioning Lin Hao, but these past two days whenever Lin Hao came up, Yao Mengchen would act coy.

He was sure that his daughter had taken a liking to Lin Hao.

What a pity.

As it stands, Lin Hao seemed to have no feelings for her.

"Dad, there you go again, it’s been over twenty years, why don’t you take a wife?" Yao Mengchen said. "Mom passed away after giving birth to me, and you’ve been alone all this time."

"Mengchen, Dad can’t betray your mother. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have made it to where I am today. She gave birth to you at the age of forty, and now you’re not yet married; how could I..."

Zou Tianyu paused, then tossed the Kaiyuan Pill from the coffee table to her: "Ah, forget it, let’s not talk about this. Here, take this and try it."

"Mhm," taking the Kaiyuan Pill, she opened the bottle cap, and a rich fragrance from the elixir diffused in the air.

The medicinal fragrance was so strong that just smelling it refreshed her.

"The fake pill looks pretty real." Yao Mengchen muttered, her long fingers pinching the elixir and slowly bringing it to her lips.

Truth be told, she did not believe a pill could make her a cultivator; if it really could, wouldn’t cultivators be everywhere?

Zou Tianyu also didn’t believe it. He wasn’t holding out much hope; he only knew that the pill wouldn’t kill anyone.

"Gulp..."

The elixir melted in her mouth without giving her time to taste it before it vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Yao Mengchen’s cheeks slowly turned red, and a heat like flames spread through her limbs and body.

However, the feeling wasn’t painful. In fact, it was quite the opposite—it was comfortable. Her limbs seemed to become lighter in an instant, and her entire body felt warm, as if her meridians were enveloped by something strange.

In this comfortable state, Yao Mengchen sensed something different—an awareness of Qi.

At this very moment, her body was frantically absorbing that Qi.

Less than ten minutes later, around Yao Mengchen’s body, strands of strange Qi slowly gathered and surged into her.

"This is..." At the sight of the Qi, Zou Tianyu was moved. Although the Qi was thin, white and transparent, he recognized it.

It was Primordial Qi!

The most initial form of Primordial Qi!

Zou Tianyu was so excited that his body trembled. In less than ten minutes, his daughter had truly become a cultivator!

And this, was all because of a single elixir!

He couldn’t stay calm anymore. At first, he even thought that the elixir was fake, but now, the truth was right in front of his eyes.

Even after weathering countless storms, at this moment, Zou Tianyu was completely shocked.

"Lin Hao, what exactly is your background..."

At this time, Yao Mengchen also opened her eyes. She had undergone an astonishing transformation, one that ordinary people could not notice, only she herself could sense it.

She felt as though there was a force in her body that urgently needed to be released, as it was unbearably stifled.

Stepping down from the sofa, her hand reached under the coffee table.

Then, with a fierce effort.

"Whoosh!"

The coffee table, weighing over a hundred pounds, was now lifted by her single hand!

Lifted with ease.

Unable to believe the scene before her eyes, Yao Mengchen said in a daze, "Dad, I seem... I seem to really have become a Cultivator..."

Zou Tianyu was spacing out, then after a long time, he laughed heartily: "Good, good, haha, excellent!"

"Bang!"

Yao Mengchen put down the coffee table, her expression one of shocked uncertainty, but from Zou Tianyu’s expression, it was clear she already knew the answer.

The figure of Lin Hao unconsciously emerged in her mind.

What she had strived for many years and longed to obtain, that man, with a tiny elixir, had made it possible for her.

Is twenty million expensive?

At this moment, Yao Mengchen finally understood that twenty million was not expensive at all.

"Who exactly are you, what have you been through..." Her beautiful eyes changing, Yao Mengchen murmured to herself.

...

Lin Hao naturally didn’t know about what happened behind him, nor was he interested in knowing whether Yao Mengchen was a Cultivator or not, as it didn’t affect him in the slightest.

He was now on Tianxing Road, and as soon as he got out of the car, a middle-aged man came to greet him.

The middle-aged man, Lin Hao recognized, was Chen Yifan’s dad, Chen Chugang.

He worked at a listed company in Binhai and could be considered part of a petty-bourgeoisie family with a good economic background and was also a very kind person.

In his previous life, after Chen Yifan’s death, Chen Chugang intercepted Wu Lin at the school to take revenge on his son, intending to send him to Huangquan, but did not succeed, and ended up in prison.

Nevertheless, this showed how much he cared for Chen Yifan.

"Uncle, where’s Yifan?" Lin Hao asked as he got out of the car.

"Come on, I’ll take you to him." Having met before, as soon as Chen Chugang saw Lin Hao, he immediately turned and briskly walked with Lin Hao towards a residential complex, heading straight to the sixteenth floor.

That was Chen Yifan’s home. Upon opening the door, Lin Hao laid eyes on Chen Yifan immediately.

The instant he saw him.

Lin Hao got angry: "Who did this?!"

At this moment, Chen Yifan was lying in bed, with a swollen patch on his face, it was not hard to tell that he had been beaten.

In front of Chen Yifan, a middle-aged woman was using a towel to apply a compress to his face; that was his mother, Zheng Fang.

"Lin Hao, you’ve finally come. I’m in so much pain, it hurts inside my body," Chen Yifan said with a pained expression, his voice weak.
