Shrouding Heavens

Chapter 3: Shrouding Heavens

After returning from the World of Twin Dragons of the Great Tang, Fang Qing was in an excellent mood.

After spending some gold and silver and making arrangements in Yangzhou City, he had truly obtained the Longevity Art. That made his start in the Shrouding Heavens Realm even smoother.

Indeed, Fang Qing had actually first transmigrated to the Shrouding the Heavens World, where he had become a classmate of Ye Fan and the others.

A month ago, Fang Qing had transmigrated to the Shrouding the Heavens World while fishing, bringing the Purple Haze Skill with him.

In a mythical fantasy world like Shrouding Heavens, bringing along the Purple Haze Skill did not mean much.

Still, Fang Qing had cultivated the Purple Haze Skill for half a month.

Then the cooldown on his fishing rod ended.

When he fished again, Fang Qing caught the coordinates to the Twin Dragons of the Great Tang world, another high-martial world.

After giving it some thought, Fang Qing prepared some gold and silver on Earth in the Shrouding Heavens Realm and made a trip to the Great Tang World.

This time, Fang Qing brought back the Longevity Art from the Great Tang World. In terms of rank, it was undoubtedly far more powerful than the Purple Haze Skill.

Transmigrating to Shrouding Heavens and cultivating the Longevity Art.

It was indeed somewhat better than transmigrating to Shrouding Heavens and cultivating the Purple Haze Skill.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Just then, his phone rang.

Fang Qing glanced at it.

The chat group on his phone had become lively. It was his university classmates' group.

Wang Ziwen: Time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has already been three years since graduation. Shouldn't we all get together and have some fun?

Zhou Yi: It really has been a long time since we last met. Three years passed too quickly. I can still remember the wonderful days we had at university. Let's get together.

Li Changqing: Sure, sure. But it would be boring if it were just us men getting together. Lin Jia, the great beauty of our class, are you coming? Our reunion will only shine with you there.

Wang Yan: Tsk, tsk. I was planning to go, but since you put it that way, Li Changqing, I'm not going.

Li Changqing: My mistake. Wang Yan is also one of the great beauties of our class. You're very welcome, warmly welcome.

Liu Yunzhi: A class reunion? Count me in.

Lin Jia: I'm coming too.

Wang Ziwen: Then it's settled. We'll meet at Sea Moon City in two days. Old classmates, old friends, the more who come, the better. It's been so long since we met. I really miss everyone.

Liu Yiyi: Okay.

Zhang Ziling: Okay.

Zhang Wenchang: Okay.

The chat group was bustling, and Fang Qing also sent a message saying okay.

Fang Qing was not particularly looking forward to the so-called class reunion, but he still had to attend this one. After the reunion would come the trip to Mount Tai, and that trip absolutely could not be missed.

The trip to Mount Tai would thoroughly change many people's fates.

Time quickly passed.

When the appointed time arrived, Fang Qing drove his little Mercedes-Benz straight to Sea Moon City.

Sea Moon City was a massive entertainment complex that combined dining and recreation. It stood in a very prosperous district, and luxurious cars could be seen everywhere in the parking lot.

After parking his little Mercedes-Benz, Fang Qing gave it another look. He did not know when he would see this car again in the future.

"Hmm? Isn't this Fang Qing? It's been three years, and you've changed so much! I almost didn't recognize you."

As Fang Qing arrived in front of Sea Moon City, a voice rang out.

The speaker was a young man with delicate features and a somewhat refined appearance. He looked at Fang Qing with surprise on his face.

"Wang Ziwen, long time no see."

Fang Qing recognized the young man. He was one of the organizers and initiators of this reunion. He had apparently made quite a fortune over the past three years, and his assets were already rather substantial.

Only people with money were in a good enough mood to gather their old classmates and casually show off. If one had no money and worried every day over a few coins of silver, how could one have the mind to organize a class reunion?

"Fang Qing, it really is you. We haven't met in years. Where have you been working? You seem to have become much more handsome."

Wang Ziwen spoke as his gaze carefully compared the Fang Qing before him with the Fang Qing in his memories.

The Fang Qing he remembered had also been tall, but he had not possessed this kind of bearing. The Fang Qing before him now seemed like some sort of master?

An enlightened master?

The aura around him resembled that of the old Taoist he had once met. It carried a detached quality.

Yes, detached.

As Wang Ziwen looked at Fang Qing, the word "detached" came to mind. Only that word could describe Fang Qing's current bearing.

"Over the past few years, I've grown increasingly fond of Chinese Civilization. I haven't done much, just read some books and drank some tea."

Seeing the surprise in Wang Ziwen's eyes, Fang Qing smiled faintly.

"You're still the carefree one. I can see that you really have gained a touch of an enlightened master's air. I wonder which accomplished person you studied under?"

The surprise on Wang Ziwen's face finally faded, but his curiosity remained as he continued questioning Fang Qing.

What master did I study under? If there really was one, would Guang Chengzi count?

Fang Qing thought to himself, but he did not say it aloud.

For the past two days, he had been studying the Longevity Art, though he had yet to gain any insights. The Longevity Art truly was not so easy to cultivate.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, another person arrived in the distance. He was tall, with somewhat delicate features.

When he saw this person, Wang Ziwen smiled again and went forward to greet him.

"Ye Fan, you're the local host, yet you're the last to show up. This reunion should have been organized by you, our great class monitor Ye."

Great class monitor Ye, Ye Fan.

Fang Qing's gaze fell upon him.

The protagonist of this world.

He was still at the beginning of his journey.

"Wang Ziwen, Fang Qing?"

Ye Fan looked over as well. Wang Ziwen's appearance had not changed much, but there was a faint air of confidence and wealth around him. He had obviously made money.

Having money gave one confidence. Ye Fan understood that well.

However, when he looked at Fang Qing, he felt that this former classmate had changed far too much.

It looked as though this classmate had... become a monk and cultivated the Dao?

His bearing and spirit seemed completely different from someone like Wang Ziwen.

How had that happened?

"Ye Fan, are you also curious about the changes in our classmate Fang Qing?"

Wang Ziwen laughed. "Fang Qing says that he spent the past three years studying Chinese Civilization. Every day, he either drank tea or read books, living an extraordinarily carefree life. He's far more carefree than a worldly commoner like me. I think you two should have plenty to talk about."

"Is that so? Then I really should have a good exchange with you, Fang Qing."

Ye Fan walked over.

"Of course. Studying on one's own is interesting, but being able to discuss the Dao with others is also a joy."

Fang Qing smiled.

"Good. You two can discuss the Dao later. Let's head to the private room first. We classmates haven't seen one another in a long time either."

Wang Ziwen led Fang Qing and Ye Fan straight to the fifth floor of Sea Moon City. He had already booked a business private room there.

Fang Qing saw those unfamiliar classmates.
