Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Awakening Divine Sense

"Life imprisonment or even death penalty, tsk tsk, these are not minor offenses," Lu Jinyuan echoed.

Lu Siyu gritted his teeth as he looked at Chen Fan and Lu Jinyuan, shivering as he shouted, "Don’t push me too far!"

Chen Fan laughed, "Push you too far? If you hadn’t engaged in such fraudulent business, we wouldn’t even have the opportunity to bully you. Whom do you think is to blame for this?"

At that moment, Lu Siyu was merely feigning composure, his heart nearly in collapse.

Why are they bullying me like this, it’s so unfair!

If it weren’t for Chen Fan’s presence, he might have already burst into tears.

Chen Fan watched his state, changing his tone, "However, there’s still room for negotiation in this matter. I can give you a chance to make amends."

On the verge of collapse, Lu Siyu clung to the words like a lifeline, asking eagerly, "What chance?"

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "Sell Lu Pharmaceuticals to me, and I won’t sue you."

Lu Siyu’s eyes widened, "Do you really think you have the capability to take over Lu Pharmaceuticals?"

Chen Fan replied, "That’s not for you to worry about."

Lu Siyu bowed his head in thought.

Now that my father is in jail, and the upper echelons of Lu Pharmaceuticals are nearly crumbling apart, all that’s left is a mess. Even if I manage to get the loan for working capital, it’s impossible to launch a product better than Life Spiritual Liquid.

Once these two billion are burned through, whether I can keep Lu Pharmaceuticals afloat is anybody’s guess, not to mention Qingfan Pharmaceuticals is waiting to pounce.

If Chen Fan can offer a decent price, selling the company might actually be a good choice.

I must sell it at a high price, to rip off this guy severely. Lu Siyu looked towards Chen Fan, asking, "What price do you plan to buy Lu Pharmaceuticals for? My Lu Pharmaceuticals is the leading company in the pharmaceutical industry of Provincial City, the company’s value..."

Chen Fan took out a steel coin from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu’s eyes bulged, "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Fan, dead serious, "This is the price I’m offering to take over your Lu Pharmaceuticals."

Lu Siyu immediately stood up, "Chen Fan, what do you take my Lu Pharmaceuticals for! A single yuan to buy out the industry leader, why don’t you go rob a bank!"

Chen Fan shrugged, "If you can’t accept this price, then forget it."

He turned to Lawyer Zhang, "Lawyer Zhang, please trouble you to send the appraisal report to the court, and while you’re at it, inform the bank about Lu Pharmaceuticals’ situation."

Lawyer Zhang nodded.

Panic instantly struck Lu Siyu, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

Chen Fan turned his head, "Anything else?"

Lu Siyu’s attitude softened immediately, "Chen Fan, let’s talk this out calmly. You want to take over my Lu Pharmaceuticals, that’s fine, but you can’t humiliate me like this. A single yuan is nothing, at least give me a fair price, even if it’s a bit lower it doesn’t matter."

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "Do you think you’re in any position to negotiate terms with me?"

Lu Siyu stiffened.

"I’ll give you three seconds to think," Chen Fan said expressionlessly.

"Three, two, one..."

Countless thoughts raced through Lu Siyu’s mind, his sweat soaking through all his clothes.

"Let’s go," Chen Fan said as he turned to leave.

Lu Siyu hurriedly shouted, "I agree!"

After shouting these words, he slumped into the chair, feeling both drained and relieved.

A smile curved Chen Fan’s lips as he looked at Lu Jinyuan, "From now on, the pharmaceutical world of Provincial City belongs to us."

...

Mingyue Hotel.

In the Presidential Suite, Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the sofa, with the Soul Force he had obtained from the ancient temple suspended before him.

"After all this time, I finally have a moment to study this Soul Force," he mused.

He flipped through the Inheritance Record and quickly found the section on Soul Force.

"The so-called Soul Force is something only those above the Golden Core Realm possess. Beyond the Golden Core Realm, a cultivator’s mental power will condense into a spiritual soul, and the Soul Force is essentially the fundamental power of the spiritual soul."

"When the spiritual soul becomes strong enough, one can unlock Divine Sense and perceive everything around them. The stronger the Soul Force, the wider the range of the Divine Sense," he read.

Chen Fan stared at the introduction of Soul Force in his mind, and after a while, he muttered, "That so-called Ancient God... was it really a Golden Core Realm powerhouse? Or, at the very least, was it someone from the Golden Core Realm?"

"Could it be that, besides Martial Arts, there is also a Cultivation Inheritance on Earth?"

This conjecture made Chen Fan’s scalp tingle. If there really had been a Cultivation Inheritance on Earth in the past, then the danger level of this world was much higher than he had imagined.

"That Ancient God Incarnation within the ancient temple was only an avatar. If I destroyed the avatar of the Ancient God, the Ancient God would surely bear a grudge against me. Doesn’t that mean I’ve caught the attention of a Golden Core Realm powerhouse?"

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Chen Fan’s heart.

But he quickly calmed down.

"The power of that Ancient God’s Incarnation has been completely burned away by the Nine Yang Divine Fire, so it’s unlikely it can discern where I am. Besides, this so-called Ancient God may not necessarily be a Golden Core Realm powerhouse."

Although Martial Arts might not be as profound as the path of cultivation, it was at least a complete path in itself.

The Transformation Realm was not the end of Martial Arts; perhaps beyond this realm, one could also cultivate Soul Force.

"Never mind that for now. If that Ancient God truly wanted to seek revenge, they would have shown up long ago, not remaining silent till now."

"This world is far more dangerous than I imagined. Not just for Qingyan, but to have a foothold in this world, I must do everything I can to increase my strength."

With these thoughts, he beckoned the sphere of Soul Force to his hand, "This Soul Force is exceptionally pure and can even aid me in condensing a spiritual soul in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If I’m lucky enough to unlock Divine Sense, that would give me an extra means for self-protection."

Without hesitation, Chen Fan formed seals with his hands, beginning to absorb the sphere of Soul Force in an attempt to condense his spiritual soul.

Under the nourishment of the Soul Force, his mental power climbed steadily, quickly reaching its peak before it began to transform into an energy form.

One day and one night later.

Chen Fan’s mental power completely transformed into an energy form. Though invisible to the naked eye, Chen Fan could clearly sense their presence.

"Is this the spiritual soul?" Chen Fan felt the formidable power of the spiritual soul in his mind, his heart unexpectedly thrilled, "My spiritual soul is this potent. Though it may not compare to a Golden Core Realm cultivator, it should be enough to unlock Divine Sense, right?"

Following the method to unlock Divine Sense in the Inheritance Record, he concentrated all his spiritual soul power to a single point. When the spiritual soul power condensed to a certain degree, a wonderful change occurred, and the power spread out in waves in all directions, enveloping everything around Chen Fan.

In that moment, from the large-scale perspective of all the rooms around, to the minute dust particles in the carpet; the lonely beautiful woman in the next room standing by the window with a glass of red wine; the couple in the heat of passion in the room below; the elderly person who had already fallen into deep sleep in the room above; even the mouse in the ventilation duct—all of it came clearly into Chen Fan’s mind.
