Dinner

Ling Qiming had mixed feelings. In the past, even when he was stern and harsh, Wang Xuan still called him Uncle Ling politely, showing humility and courtesy.

Since they met again at the New Moon, he has been calling him Old Ling directly!

Wang Xuan had politely explained that this was to put his mind at ease and not to overthink it. For a moment, Ling Qiming with mixed feelings; for some reason, he really wanted to beat him up!

When he turned to look at Old Chen, he became even more uneasy. It was one thing to call him Old Ling, but this Chen Yongjie, who was on his deathbed and had received wreaths from many people, was actually living so young.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Had Old Chen aged in reverse? He was only thirty years old now, but he had definitely turned into a young man with a buzz cut.

Old Chen's youthful appearance, coupled with his smiling address as "Old Ling," made Ling Qiming feel quite uncomfortable. Extraordinary... it's really nice!

Isn't immortality what many tycoons pursue? And Chen Yongjie has already embarked on this path. Ling Qiming's emotions were in turmoil, unable to find peace.

He sighed softly, clinked glasses with Old Chen, and said, "Chen Yongjie, we had a lot of dealings in the Old Earth when we were young, and we had a good relationship. I never thought that two or three decades would pass in the blink of an eye, and you would have reached this point. Chen the Supernatural, the Number One Person in both the New Star and the old town, can withstand the test of time."

Old Chen sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, our generation has grown old. As for the Number One Person you mentioned, I dare not accept that title. The pressure is immense. No one can sing praises for a lifetime. Perhaps one day the myth will decay. At most, I will only be a relatively high ripple in this era, but at any time, a great wave may crash down, and I will eventually be smashed to pieces. Many years later, when we look back at each other, we will both be yellow leaves that have fallen before the passage of time, only some leaves will fall a little later."

The two men, both in their early fifties, were speaking with such seriousness. Wang Xuan didn't feel comfortable calling out to Old Ling anymore, so he silently offered him a toast and turned to leave.

"Old Ling, let me tell you, you might have done something wrong," Old Chen said, staring at Wang Xuan's retreating figure.

"Do you have something to say?" Ling Qiming looked at him, and also at Wang Xuan's back.

Old Chen nodded and said, "Just because we dug up the tomb of Pre-Qin Daoist practitioners together when we were young, and admired and commented on some of the most beautiful girls of that era, I want to remind you of something."

Ling Qiming looked slightly dazed, recalling some of the absurd things he had done in his youth. He shook his head and then looked at Chen Yongjie.

Old Chen was very serious and said, "Wang Xuan... his future achievements will be extremely high. He can go very far on the path of Old Arts, beyond our imagination! As an old friend, this is all I can say."

Ling Qiming said in a low voice, "Everyone says he's already a grandmaster, much stronger than you were when you were young. In a few years, he could very well be Wang Chaofan?"

"In a few years, he will be far stronger than you imagine!" Old Chen said solemnly, with a look that was rarely seen on his face.

Ling Qiming was immediately startled, his pupils contracting. He was a smart man; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to be regarded as one of the successors in their faction's conglomerate.

"Old Ling, we have a good relationship, that's why I talked to you a bit more. In the future, if you don't like Wang Xuan, just ignore him, but don't make any moves or try to stop him. Otherwise, you'll be facing me, Chen the Supernatural, first!" Old Chen turned and left.

Ling Qiming tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp!

Then, he realized, wasn't that the Zhong family girl? She had gone to find Wang Xuan with a yellowed book, secretly giving him a secret scripture book?!

Ling Qiming couldn't help but think more. Zhong Yong was a terrifying person, and now he had even practiced an unusual secret technique, forming a cicada shell on his body. Once he was revived, there was a high probability that no one could stand against him!

What does it mean that Zhong Yong's great-granddaughter gave Wang Xuan scriptures? Did Zhong Yong think highly of him when they were in the secret place, and did he give him any instructions?

"See? His relationship with your father has improved. They even clinked glasses just now. But why did Zhong Qing go over there?" Zhou Yun spoke from a distant corner, talking to Ling Wei. He was different from usual, very serious, looking at Wang Xuan and Zhong Qing in the room with a frown.

Zhou Yun looked at Ling Wei and said, "You two should talk. I'll go and call Zhong Qing away."

In the hall, several medicinal herb trees shimmered with light and exuded a fragrant aroma.

Strange stones from exotic lands are arranged into a landscape, shimmering and glowing. Several monsters have been made into specimens, enormous and awe-inspiring, attracting onlookers.

Zhong Qing, wearing high heels and a high-waisted evening gown with a slit that revealed her beautiful legs, was truly eye-catching. She walked gracefully, and under the crystal chandelier, she looked pure, sweet, and radiant. She frequently smiled and nodded to those who greeted her.

"Nine Tribulations Profound Body?" Wang Xuan was surprised. The Zhong family was quite good in this respect; they were very trustworthy.

Whether it was Zhong Cheng's promise to give him the True Scripture, or Old Zhong's exchange of the Nine Tribulations Profound Body for the Earth Immortal Spring with Old Chen, both were ultimately fulfilled.

While in the secret place, Old Zhong had a trick up his sleeve, only giving Old Chen half of the Nine Tribulations Profound Body. He had undoubtedly instructed Zhong Qing that the full manual could be given away after they safely returned to New Star.

"Thank you!" Wang Xuan put them away. The Nine Tribulations Profound Body and the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body were of great use to him in practicing the Stone Tablet Scripture, and were excellent auxiliary scriptures.

Zhong Qing said, "I also secretly exchanged scriptures with Zhao Zhao for the Earth Immortal Spring, and gave her the Five-Colored Golden Elixir Primordial Spirit Art in a secret place. According to the agreement, after returning to New Star, I will give her another top-level scripture. She said she wants me to give it to you directly, and asks what kind of secret technique you want. She will give it to you next time."

Wang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Top-notch scriptures for cultivating the physical body, or extremely powerful mental techniques."

"Okay!" Zhong Qing looked at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She took a few steps around him, as if scrutinizing him carefully, and finally whispered, "Wang Xuan, Wang Xiao, are they the same person?"

She had suspected it for a while, and finally asked about it today.

Now that things have come to this, Wang Xuan doesn't care anymore. Both his true form and his avatar are displaying Grandmaster-level combat power to the outside world, so whether they are exposed or not doesn't have much of an impact.

However, Wang Xiao was resented by some people in the New Arts Domain.

Wang Xuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Nearby, many people were watching this side. Zhong Qing had long legs, a beautiful and delicate face, and an extraordinary identity, which made her very eye-catching.

Zhou Yun walked over, wanting to say hello.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties appeared. Although he was no longer a young man, he was still handsome and now had a mature charm.

"Uncle Zhao!" Zhou Yun and Zhong Qing greeted him, and he nodded, indicating that he wanted to talk to Wang Xuan.

"I am Qing Han's father." The middle-aged man introduced himself, his expression quite solemn, but also tinged with worry.

"Uncle Zhao," Wang Xuan addressed him politely, but didn't get too close. Since being "baptized" by Comrade Old Ling, he had gained experience in talking to this type of person.

Although he was close to Zhao Qinghan and had a good impression of her father upon their first meeting, getting too close would lead to him having too many thoughts. It's best to handle it with a normal attitude.

"I've heard that you saved Qing Han many times in the secret place, and I am very grateful to you," Zhao Zejun said. He then said in a deep voice, "Tell me about Qing Han's specific situation. I'm very worried."

Wang Xuan understood that as parents, who wouldn't worry if their children were trapped in a monster-infested secret place?

He slowly recounted the story, informing Zhao Zejun that Zhao Qinghan appeared to be out of danger and might even have a significant opportunity.

Although being taken away by the talking old fox seemed strange to the New Star people, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. Even the existence of Transcendent Immortals had been proven, so what else couldn't be accepted?

Wang Xuan explained things in great detail, but of course, he omitted some details about his relationship with Zhao Qinghan, to avoid turning this handsome older man into a second Old Ling and becoming a "daughter-protecting maniac." Let's wait until Zhao Qinghan comes back before discussing anything else.

In the distance, Ling Qiming saw Zhao Zejun pulling Wang Xuan aside to whisper, listening intently, occasionally asking a few questions, and nodding from time to time. He couldn't help but sigh softly.

He had learned a lot from his nephew Zhou Yun. In the secret place, Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan became very close. The two went through life and death tribulations together and entered the Earth Immortal City together.

He looked towards his daughter, Ling Wei, and saw her turn around and slowly walk away, leaving only her back view.

Wang Xuan and Zhao Zejun talked for a long time. Finally, Zhao Zejun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Wang, thank you. If you need anything or have any trouble in the future, feel free to contact me." He handed Wang Xuan a silver business card and turned to leave.

Three old men and five middle-aged men were talking to Old Chen, having a pleasant conversation and congratulating him on his advancement to the Supernatural Domain. Ostensibly, the dinner was just to congratulate Old Chen.

Finally, they mentioned a very important purpose.

"Old Chen, you're an extraordinary being with formidable strength. Aren't you tempted by the Sacred Dragon Egg we just mentioned? It contains a massive amount of life energy, enough to give you a huge leap forward!"

"And that Magic Holy Spring, drinking from it can make you Great Shaman, it's Divine Great Medicine!"

They talked about the planet that Westerners were hunting, a planet whose legend was very intriguing.

Currently, Western tycoons are going crazy, constantly sending out fleets and experts in an attempt to obtain the Sacred Dragon Egg and miraculous medicine to gain longevity.

After the news spread, the old man in the East and some high-ranking people from various financial groups also became restless and prepared to send people to hunt.

How could Old Chen not be tempted? It even had dragon eggs and Magic Holy Spring; it was too mysterious. He really wanted to go and see for himself, but he was also afraid of being left there and never being able to come back.

"Little Wang, are you Old Wang?!" Zhong Cheng found Wang Xuan and asked in a low voice, his eyes wide and unfriendly. "My sister said you... are you really Old Wang too?"

"You still owe me a scripture and half a photo album!" Wang Xuan felt there was no need to hide it anymore. Since they had guessed it, he might as well admit it openly.

"I'm speechless!" Zhong Cheng exclaimed in disbelief.

"Come on, let me introduce you to a new friend. His Qin Cheng, and your name seems to have a connection with him." Wang Xuan found Qin Cheng, who was chatting happily with a beautiful woman.

"Little Wang, come here!" Old Chen called to him, and then told him about the Sacred Dragon Egg and the Magic Holy Spring.

The three old men and five middle-aged men all showed surprise. Chen Yongjie really valued this young man, actually telling him such a thing. The five middle-aged men included Ling Qiming and Zhao Zejun.

Old Chen began, "Everyone, Little Wang is a lot like me when I was young. He likes to study Old Arts. If any of you have any unusual scriptures, you can give them to him to practice. I admire his comprehension. I, Old Chen, promise here that if he can master them, he will be richly rewarded."

Wang Xuan understood immediately. After reaching the Supernatural Domain, Old Chen had gained some confidence and finally started to target various study rooms. Today he took the first step, and there would definitely be other ways to do it later.
