Chapter 325: Chapter 325: The White-Haired Elder

Li Wei turned his head to glance at Liu Yunxi with a smile and said, "Yunxi’s father is the chairman of the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber in the Capital. In the Capital, any project that exceeds a billion requires approval from the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. Moreover, the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber itself possesses a vast amount of commercial resources. Every major enterprise in the Capital maintains a good relationship with the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber. There’s even a widely known warning in the Capital: you could offend the leading enterprises in all industries, but never the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber!"

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected Liu Yunxi to have such an impressive background.

No wonder she didn’t give Li Wei any face as an artist under Tianxing Entertainment. It turned out she had such a terrifying background.

Chen Fan smiled at Liu Yunxi and said, "I didn’t realize you were a wealthy lady."

Liu Yunxi didn’t show any pride. Instead, she seemed somewhat annoyed, as if she didn’t like to talk about her family background. She pouted and said, "Even if the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber has considerable influence in the Capital, in the end, it’s still just working for the King of Towers. There’s nothing to envy."

Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. "The King of Towers? What’s that?"

Li Wei, who was beside them, laughed and said, "The King of Towers is a legend that has been around in the Capital for many years. Rumor has it that he owns half of the commercial buildings and office towers in the Capital. Most of the office locations of Yunxi’s family are leased from the buildings owned by the King of Towers. The annual rent they pay is astronomical. Not just the Tianyuan Commerce Chamber, but many of Tianxing Entertainment’s office locations are also leased from the King of Towers’ commercial buildings."

"That’s why people often joke that most of the enterprises in the Capital are working for the King of Towers; after all, the money they earn has to be used to pay rent to the King of Towers."

"However, the King of Towers is very mysterious. Basically, no one has ever seen him, and some even suspect that the King of Towers is just fabricated. The real backers behind those office buildings might be multinational investment organizations. Whether that’s true or false is unknown."

Chen Fan hadn’t expected that such a powerful figure existed in the Capital, someone who owned half of the Capital’s commercial buildings and office towers.

One must know that real estate prices in the Capital had already skyrocketed. Every inch of land was incredibly valuable. Anyone who owns an office building in the Capital could be said to have reached the pinnacle of life. To directly own half of the Capital’s office buildings—it was horrifying to imagine how powerful that was.

The combined value of these office buildings could probably buy out many leading enterprises, which explains why Liu Yunxi said they were working for the King of Towers.

After chatting for a while, Chen Fan bid farewell to Liu Yunxi and Li Wei, then returned to the Shen Family with Shen Lingdie.

The next day, the construction of the cellar was completed. Chen Fan went to Azure Dragon Mountain, retrieved the Taiyi Twin Lotuses from the pool, and took them back to the Shen Family.

Chen Fan managed to recreate the cave’s environment inside the cellar. Afterward, he placed the Taiyi Twin Lotuses inside, and soon, the Taiyi Twin Lotuses officially took root in the cellar of the Shen Family.

That very day, a purple aura soared to the sky above the Shen Family, and auspicious signs descended from heaven. The family’s fortunes reached a peak not seen in a hundred years.

After waiting another day, the entire cellar was covered by the yin and yang energy released by the Taiyi Twin Lotuses. Chen Fan brought Shen Lingdie inside.

Inside the cellar.

The Taiyi Twin Lotuses stood silently in the middle of the pool, surrounded by a dense aura of yin and yang.

Chen Fan stood on the edge of the pool, turned his head towards Shen Lingdie, and asked, "Do you remember the absorption method I taught you?"

Shen Lingdie nodded, an inexplicable excitement visible in her eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Fan said solemnly, "Good, we’ll start absorbing at the same time. I’ll take this opportunity to make a breakthrough; the process might be a bit noisy. However, I will set up a prohibition around us so it won’t harm you. Don’t be afraid when the time comes."

Shen Lingdie nodded again, then she reached out to take off her clothes.

Chen Fan’s eyes bulged, and he quickly asked, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

Shen Lingdie said, "Aren’t we supposed to practice cultivation naked? That’s how it’s shown on TV."

Chen Fan, speechless, smacked his forehead and said, "That’s all nonsense on TV, we don’t need to strip down; just sit down and follow my instructions."

Shen Lingdie’s face showed disappointment, but she obediently sat down cross-legged on the floor, "Alright then."

Chen Fan also sat down cross-legged, set up a barrier around him, turned his head to look at Shen Lingdie, and said, "Begin."

Both started to absorb the Yin and Yang energy within the cellar.

It was clearly visible that all the Solar Power in the cellar was converging towards Chen Fan, while the Power of Taiyin was gathering in front of Shen Lingdie.

As the Solar Power entered his body, Chen Fan felt a wave of heat throughout his body. This power flowed into his limbs and bones, giving him the sensation that his body was about to explode.

"This power is indeed pure enough to help me make a breakthrough."

He slightly marveled for a moment, then, without any hesitation, started using the Solar Power to break through.

On the other side, Shen Lingdie was sitting with her eyes tightly shut, absorbing the Power of Taiyin. If anyone was there, they would have noticed that she was absorbing the Power of Taiyin even faster than Chen Fan.

Meanwhile.

In Jiangcheng, Yunwu Villas.

Lu Jinyuan drove to Hillside Villa’s gate. After getting out of his car, he took a jade container from the trunk, found the key, opened the door, and entered the villa’s courtyard.

As Life Spiritual Liquid was Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ main product, with booming sales, the initial supply of Innate Spiritual Liquid that Chen Fan gave to Lu Jinyuan was naturally insufficient. Therefore, Chen Fan later gave Lu Jinyuan the key to Hillside Villa, allowing him to collect Innate Spiritual Liquid periodically, bring it back to the Provincial City, dilute it, package it, and sell it.

For Lu Jinyuan, this was simply a dream job of making money while lying down, and since manufacturing Life Spiritual Liquid required almost no cost, it was far easier than the real estate business he used to do.

"I must say, meeting Mr. Chen has been the luckiest thing in my life. My ancestors must have done some great deeds, amassing such profound fortune for me."

He reached the villa’s gate, unlocked it with the key, and intended to collect the Innate Spiritual Liquid.

But as soon as he entered the living room, he saw an old man dressed in an antique robe, with all white hair and a long white beard, standing in front of the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation.

The old man’s face showed obvious excitement as he murmured, "This Formation can nurture such pure energy; it’s unbelievable. Having struggled to find sufficient power for my cultivation since breaking through to the Divine Realm, now that I have this miraculous Formation, my cultivation can finally progress."

Lu Jinyuan, dumbfounded, looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you? Who let you in?"

The old man turned around, sized up Lu Jinyuan, and, realizing that he was just an ordinary person, waved his hand. An invisible force appeared and sent him flying out of the villa.

Lu Jinyuan crashed heavily onto the grounds of the villa, then heard a domineering and arrogant voice: "This villa is mine from now on; no one is allowed to step inside, or they shall be killed without mercy!"
