"Cough, cough, because …"
Jiang Tian leaned over to Zhao Xueqing's ear and whispered something.
"Aiya, hubby, you're so naughty! How could you say something like that to me! "
Zhao Xueqing blushed and waved her fist coquettishly. She lowered Jiang Tian's arm and said, "Give me another one!"
…
The meal was filled with chatter and laughter. It was a heartwarming meal.
Jiang Tian could feel that Zhao Xueqing's wariness and fear towards him were slowly fading.
Everything was going in a good direction.
After the meal, Jiang Tian poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle and smiled.
"Xueqing, I've refined a Small Revitalizing Pill for you. It has the effect of consolidating your foundation and strengthening your body. Hurry up and eat it!"
"Oh, I know. I'll eat it before I sleep." Zhao Xueqing took it and smiled.
She didn't believe that Jiang Tian could refine any miraculous pills. She only thought that Jiang Tian was fooling around. She was afraid that she would have diarrhea after eating it.
But there was no need to expose Jiang Tian. It was fine as long as he was safe.
Back in the bedroom, Zhao Xueqing put the Small Revitalizing Pill into a small medicine bottle. She sat in front of the desk and began to work.
"I can see Elder Tang today!"
The next morning, Jiang Tian used Zhao Xueqing's phone to call Tang Linglong.
Elder Tang wanted to see him time and time again. It would be unreasonable if he didn't give him face.
"Okay, I'll go pick you up now!"
Tang Linglong didn't delay. She immediately drove to the Times Mansion to pick up Jiang Tian.
The car stopped in front of Crouching Dragon Villa. Jiang Tian looked at the luxurious manor and chuckled. "Elder Tang really knows how to enjoy life!"
Tang Linglong quickly explained, "Mr. Jiang, please don't misunderstand. This is not my grandfather's business, but my third uncle's!"
She said hesitantly, "Originally, my grandfather didn't want to live here, but he couldn't stand his incessant begging …"
"Oh, I see …" Jiang Tian nodded slightly and walked into the villa.
Jiang Tian had also heard of the Tang family's background.
Elder Tang had a total of three sons. The eldest son was in the military and held a position in the Lingnan Military Region. His background was very mysterious and he was the mainstay of the second generation of the Tang family.
The second son, Tang Weimin, was the secretary of the Lin Zhou Municipal Party Committee. His political achievements were brilliant, and he had won the hearts of the people. His future was bright, and many people guessed that he could go further.
The third son of the Tang family, Tang Wannian, was the most useless one. He couldn't stand the shackles of the army and didn't want to work hard in the officialdom, so he used the name of Elder Tang to swindle people in the business world.
Although Elder Tang didn't like him and blamed him a lot and even wanted to cut ties with him, his son had grown up and had no choice.
Relying on the care of Elder Tang's old comrades, Tang Wannian's business was doing very well. He had accumulated quite a lot of property and had a net worth of billions. This grand Crouching Dragon Villa was Tang Wannian's property.
The manor was very beautiful. The rockery and strange rocks were arranged in a picturesque manner. There was a lake with lotus leaves swaying in the wind. There were nine winding corridors and pavilions dotted among them. The trees were so big that one person could wrap their arms around them.
"This is strange …" However, the more Jiang Tian looked, the more he frowned. A trace of seriousness appeared on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, benefactor, you're finally here!"
From afar, Elder Tang, Xiao Wei, and a middle-aged man came to greet him. They bowed deeply with deep respect on their faces.
However, the middle-aged man behind him had a frivolous look on his face. He chewed on his cigarette frivolously without the slightest hint of gratitude.
"Elder Tang, how have you been these days?" Jiang Tian held him up and politely saluted him.
"Cough, cough …"
Elder Tang coughed violently a few times and smiled. "I still feel chills occasionally, but I'm much better now!"
Jiang Tian nodded slightly and activated his Heavenly Eye Technique. He scanned Elder Tang's body and his face turned slightly cold.
"Thank you for saving this old man's life, I …"
Elder Tang held Jiang Tian's hand and walked towards a hall. He was full of joy.
"Elder Tang, you're welcome. It's nothing!" Jiang Tian quickly interrupted and walked into the hall with Elder Tang.
After they were seated, the servants served tea. Elder Tang and Jiang Tian drank a few mouthfuls of tea and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Elder Tang said, "Mr. Jiang, you're a martial arts grandmaster at such a young age. Your medical skills are amazing, and you're also proficient in the art of sorcery. This old man is truly impressed!"
"Martial arts grandmaster and sorcery expert? Elder Tang, you think too highly of me. I'm really not … "Jiang Tian shook his head gently.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang, you're too polite!" Elder Tang only thought that Jiang Tian was being modest and laughed.
"Elder Tang, what's going on with martial arts and sorcery? Please enlighten me." Jiang Tian frowned.
"Mr. Jiang, I really don't know …"
Elder Tang was stunned. Seeing that Jiang Tian did not seem to be lying, he thought that Jiang Tian should have a unique cultivation system that was different from martial arts and sorcery. Therefore, he began to talk about it.
Although Elder Tang was not a martial arts or sorcery expert, he was still involved in martial arts and the military, so he knew a lot of information.
According to him, ancient martial arts and sorcery rose in the pre-Qin period and had a long history. Ancient martial arts were derived from Daoism and were eventually simplified and condensed by martial artists into killing techniques.
In this process, it was divided into two branches, which focused on strengthening one's ancient martial arts and sorcery that focused on using external objects.
Ancient martial arts were divided into four stages: Iron Body, Internal Force, Transcendent, and Divine Realm.
As the saying went, the poor studied while the rich studied martial arts. A martial artist's cultivation required the nourishment of heavenly and earthly treasures, which also meant that they needed a lot of worldly wealth. Therefore, there were many powerful martial artists hidden in the mortal world.
Sorcery was even more mysterious and was rarely seen in the mortal world. Most of them lived in seclusion in the mountains and ponds, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehending the supreme Dao. They were generally divided into four stages: Perception, Dao Initiation, Mystic Enlightening, and Dao Body.
Most of the martial arts in the mortal world were simplified versions of ancient martial arts. Usually, one would be unable to advance after reaching the Iron Body stage. For example, Tan Tui, Eagle Claw, Ba Ji, and Wing Chun were all in this category.
In the four stages of martial arts, each stage was divided into four stages: Minor Success, Major Success, Perfection, and Pinnacle.
There were very few who could reach Internal Force. Elder Tang had cultivated for his entire life, but he had only reached the Perfection Iron Body stage and had not reached Internal Force. In the entire Lingnan Province, there were only a few people who had reached that stage.
"So that's how it is …" Jiang Tian nodded his head in satisfaction. He also had a hint of understanding in his heart.
In his previous life, the three major families of Jinlin City were no match for the Jiang family in terms of political and business resources.
However, the sudden rise of the three major families and their joint attack on the Jiang family meant that there was a Martial Artist behind them.
After the introduction, Elder Tang pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "This is my useless second son, Tang Wannian. You can call him Little Nian. This small manor is also his property. If Mr. Jiang has any friends that you would like to entertain, feel free to look for him. "
"Dad, so this is the Master Kang you were talking about? He is just a kid. I don't see anything special about him."
Tang Wannian puffed on the cigarette in his mouth as he shook his head and said.
Tang Wannian was dressed in branded clothes and was armed to the teeth. However, his eyes were swollen and his footsteps were weak. It was obvious that his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and women.
Jiang Tian shook his head.
No wonder Xiao Wei and Tang Linglong hesitated when they talked about him. He was nothing compared to Elder Tang.
Even though Elder Tang's body had been invaded by Ghost Qi and he had been bedridden for many years, he was still very stern. As expected of someone who had been on the battlefield for decades.
"How dare you!"
Elder Tang was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed the table and scolded, "Mr. Jiang is my guest. How dare you!"
He quickly stood up and bowed to Jiang Tian. He said nervously, "Mr. Jiang, please forgive my son. This old man did not teach him well."
"Don't worry about it." Jiang Tian waved his hand casually.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Tang Wannian's untimely voice rang out again.
"Dad, what's so great about him? You are still coughing and feeling cold. What exorcism and ghost exorcism? I think it's just a sham! "
"Bastard! Get out! Get out of here! "Elder Tang pointed at the door angrily and roared.
This youngest son of his was fond of taking unconventional paths and making countless enemies. This made him worry the most, so Old Tang hoped that he could introduce Jiang Tian to him.
That way, Tang Wannian would have a strong backer who could at least protect his life. However, he did not expect Tang Wannian to be such a loser.
Even though he had repeatedly told him to be respectful to Jiang Tian, he still offended Jiang Tian again and again.
"Okay, okay, okay. You guys talk. I will go to the kitchen and prepare some food for you …" Tang Wannian stood up and looked coldly at Jiang Tian.
"Third Master, please wait!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian spoke up to persuade him to stay. "Third Master is right. I did not completely cure Elder Tang."
"Right? I told you he is a liar!"
Tang Wannian's interest was piqued again. He sat down leisurely, crossed his legs, and sneered.
Elder Tang was also confused. He frowned. "Mr. Jiang, I feel much better. Why do you say that?"
Jiang Tian took a sip of tea and said, "The spirit in your body has been removed. However, there is still a ferocious spirit in Crouching Dragon Villa. This ferocious spirit's Yin Qi is very strong and its cultivation is very high. It has already become a Ghost King. The spirit was just being controlled by it. Because Elder Tang is old and weak, it took advantage of the situation. "
"It is true that I have removed the spirit. However, I did not remove the Ghost King. That is the same as not removing the firewood from under the cauldron. Of course, it cannot be considered a complete cure. Elder Tang, have you been experiencing the symptoms of alternating between cold and heat? "
"Nonsense!"
Before Elder Tang could speak, Tang Wannian said disdainfully. "Ghosts and gods are completely fabricated. How much do you want to swindle from the Tang family? Do you believe that I will call the police to arrest you and sentence you to eight to ten years? "
"Elder Tang, you and I are fated to meet. Moreover, Ling Long has helped me before. I am willing to kill the Ghost King for you."
Jiang Tian was too lazy to pay attention to him. He said indifferently, "However, this matter started because of Tang Wannian. He has done something wrong. I want him to donate 100 million as charity. Otherwise, I will not help him. "
"What did he do?" Elder Tang's face turned solemn as he frowned and asked.
Jiang Tian hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak …
Tang Wannian stood up and waved his arms. He said furiously, "Dad, don't believe him. What bullsh * t master? He was just spouting nonsense and swindling people! Jiang Tian, get the hell out of here! "
"Wannian, are you trying to piss me off? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Third Uncle, Master Kang is our VIP. How can you be so disrespectful?"
Elder Tang was furious. Tang Linglong kept trying to dissuade him. Xiao Wei also shook his head and sighed.
"Dad, who does this kid think he is? He is not even fully grown yet. How can he pretend to be an extraordinary person?"
Tang Wannian did not listen to him.
