After two days of cultivation, Gu Chen can now feel that his energy and spirit are very different from before.
"Late Bone-Forge Realm!"
Gu Chen let out a heavy sigh!
After all, he was Divine Emperor in his previous life. Gu Chen cultivated to the Mid-stage Bone Forging Realm from the first day of his rebirth, and now he has finally reached the Late Bone-Forge Realm!
Of course, neither Elder Hua nor Zhao Bo knew Gu Chen's true strength. It was because he was unfathomable, and his past life experience and aura created this illusion.
They believed he was already a master at the Grandmaster Realm level!
It's 10 a. m. Gu Chen took a shower. After soaking in the medicinal herbs, all the impurities in his body were washed away. Then he picked up his phone to check the situation.
There were several missed calls on the screen. He rarely called anyone on weekdays. Besides Wang Hu, there were also a few unknown numbers. Gu Chen thought for a moment and then called the unknown number first.
"Gu Chen, you finally answered my call!"
Xu Mo?
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, then said calmly, "Why are you calling me?"
"Gu Chen, oh no, Young Master Gu, you absolutely have to help the Xu Family this time!"
Xu Mo said in a trembling voice.
"How can I help you?" Gu Chen had already thought of the answer, but his tone remained extremely calm.
"Our subsidiary has been completely diluted by the Zhou Family, and now Zhou Family 're even pressuring us to terminate our cooperation." Xu Mo swallowed hard and said, "As you know, we used to work on projects with the Zhou Family. Now that they're withdrawing their Zhou Family, we simply can't come up with that much money all at once. When we look for partners, they treat us like a plague!"
How long ago did these things happen?
"Yesterday, yesterday..."
"So you only remembered me now?" Gu Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. "Or were you hesitant before? Or were you hoping to get away with it?"
"No, that's not what I meant. We just didn't expect the Zhou Family's scheme to be so grand, it's like they're trying to wipe out the Xu Family. It's like they've used us and then discarded us!" Xu Mo said, "Young Master Gu, you know we've followed the Zhou Family all these years, doing so much for them, and they're utterly heartless and ungrateful!"
"Are you done talking?" Gu Chen said, "I'm going to hang up now."
"Young Master Gu, don't hang up yet!" Xu Mo said excitedly, "Didn't you say last time that you could help us? You have foresight, I know you definitely have a way."
"Your Xu Family's assets are more than our Gu Family's. If there are any loopholes, how can I help you?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Besides, these are not things you should worry about. They should be left to your elder brother and your father to handle."
"The family's survival is at stake, who cares about anything else!" Xu Mo said excitedly, "Brother Chen, I'm coming to find you right now! You're at home, right?"
"Hello..."
Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Xu Mo hung up the phone.
Gu Chen recalled the time when the Xu Family collapsed in his previous life, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Afterwards, Gu Chen called Wang Hu again. It turned out that Elder Hua was returning to Beijing the next day and wanted to invite Gu Chen over for a chat that evening. Gu Chen thought about it and agreed.
Stepping out of the room, Gu Chen saw Uncle Liu cleaning it. Upon seeing him, Uncle Liu quickly said, "Young Master, security called earlier saying someone is looking for you and has been waiting for quite a while. I didn't dare disturb them."
"Xu Mo arrived so quickly?" Gu Chen was surprised, then nodded to Uncle Liu and asked, "Has my dad been alright lately?"
"No," Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "The master seems to be in good spirits. He's been a little worried about you these past two days, since you've been locking yourself in your room."
"Then I'll go down and take a look first."
When they arrived downstairs, it wasn't Xu Mo, but Zhao Bo, who was standing awkwardly at the entrance of the stairwell.
Seeing Gu Chen emerge from the stairs, Zhao Bo was initially surprised, then scrutinized him as if trying to decipher Gu Chen figure. Finally, he opened his mouth and whispered, "Master?"
"Don't you recognize me?" Gu Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bo's expression became incredibly varied, turning extremely strange in an instant!
And within his chest, a raging storm was brewing!
When Gu Chen went to the black market to find him that day, he was almost fully armed, making it impossible to see his face. Although Zhao Bo had judged that Gu Chen would be very young, he never expected him to be this young!
He... must be in his early twenties, right?!
"Surprised?" Gu Chen asked.
Noticing the sharp glint in Gu Chen's eyes, Zhao Bo trembled violently, then hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I wouldn't dare!"
"Follow me!"
Gu Chen ignored Zhao Bo's astonishment and walked forward on his own, saying, "Let's find a place to talk."
"Yes." Zhao Bo hurriedly followed.
Although the neighborhood where Gu Beichi lives is not the top-tier wealthy area in Zhou City, it is still a high-end neighborhood with teahouses, private clubs, and so on.
Inside the teahouse, Gu Chen and Zhao Bo sat facing each other. Gu Chen asked, "How long have you been here?"
"I arrived this morning," Zhao Bo said in a low voice. "I came according to the address Master gave me, but Master didn't announce my arrival, so I didn't dare to come up without permission."
It's clear that in just one day, Zhao Bo has developed a mixture of admiration and fear towards Gu Chen.
To be honest, whether in the secular world or in the world of martial artists or even cultivators, might makes right. If Gu Chen hadn't shown his strength, he wouldn't have been able to make Zhao Bo submit with just his words.
Moreover, the Undying Divine Skill has a huge impact, leaving Zhao Bo no choice but to trust Gu Chen.
"Judging from your condition, it seems you're cultivating quite well," Gu Chen said. "After I helped you clear up some misconceptions in your cultivation a few days ago, your progress should be good these past few days, right?"
"More than good!" Zhao Bo exclaimed excitedly, "My master only gave me a little pointer, but I feel I've benefited immensely. Now, when I cultivate, I no longer feel the stagnation I had before. I'm afraid that in a few years, I'll be able to reach the Revolving Illumination Realm."
"A few years?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "That's too slow."
As they spoke, Gu Chen handed over the booklet he had prepared, saying proudly, "Your cultivation technique is an incomplete version. This one is one I've modified. Of course, it differs from the original ' Undying Divine Skill,' but its quality can only be higher, not lower."
What?
Zhao Bo couldn't believe it. The "Undying Divine Skill" was the most powerful technique of that mysterious force, said to grant immortality upon reaching its peak and the ability to be reborn from a drop of blood. There was practically no technique more powerful than it in all of Huaxia!
He endured countless hardships to obtain this martial arts manual, and even fled all the way to Zhou City, hiding his identity!
But Gu Chen actually changed it just like that?
They even claimed it was more profound and mysterious than the original?
Although he didn't believe it, Zhao Bo still took it and started reading.
