Tan Xiu seriously said, "Don't think that fairy tales are deceiving. Many of them are actually true. Even if it's groundless, there will always be some clues. The place I'm going to is the Immortal World, a world that looks very beautiful on the surface, but is actually more cruel than hell. "
Long Zhenglin came over and asked in disbelief, "The Immortal World really exists? How is that possible? I've never heard of the existence of real immortals. "
"It's true," said Tan Xiu.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence.
After a long while, Xue Chao looked up at Tan Xiu with red eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Big Bro Tang, can you take me with you? I'm willing to go with you no matter how cruel it is. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "I've thought about it many times before. I wanted to impart my cultivation technique to you so that you can go with me to the Immortal World in the future. But after careful consideration, I chose to give up in the end. You all have your own lives, and you also have your friends and family. Your world is here. If I take you with me, what will happen to your family? What about your friends? "
"Big Bro Tang, my mother has passed away. My wife and son are by my side. There are only the three of us. If you can, I hope you can take us with you. Apart from a few brothers, I have no one else worthy of nostalgia. "
Long Zhenglin suddenly turned to look at Long Zhengyu. He grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and said with an extremely serious expression, "Brother, although I'm reluctant to part with you, I also want to leave with Eldest Brother. I'm unfilial, so please help me be filial to my parents. "
"You …"
Long Zhengyu's complexion changed.
"Brother, you know my temperament. I'm someone who can't sit still," said Long Zhenglin seriously. "Without Eldest Brother Tang, I'm afraid that I'll be living a muddle-headed life in the future. I like adventure, I like excitement, and I want to walk the path I choose. Brother, I was just a gangster before I met Eldest Brother. Ever since I met him, he changed my mind and changed the trajectory of my life. Otherwise, I'd still be a second-generation silk pants in the streets and alleys of Star City. "
Long Zhengyu's lips squirmed a few times before he finally asked in a deep voice, "Have you really thought it through?"
Long Zhenglin heavily nodded and said, "Only by following Eldest Brother can I live a more and more wonderful life. If I follow Boss, I won't take any detours. Brother, although the time was short, I've thought it through. "
Long Zhengyu also grabbed a wine bottle and forcefully bumped the bottle in Long Zhenglin's hand. Then, he gulped down the entire bottle of wine in one gulp and said with a red face, "Big Brother, I respect your choice. From today onwards, the second son of the Long Family will die in this world and will only live in our hearts. "
"Brother …"
Long Zhenglin's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and gulped down a bottle of wine. Then, he turned his head and stared at Tan Xiu, saying, "Eldest Brother, do you want me?"
Tan Xiu slowly closed his eyes. After a long silence, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Alright. You, Long Zhenglin, and Xue Chao's family of three can follow me to the Immortal World. But in the Immortal World, all of you must listen to me. Otherwise, I will kill all of you with my own hands before anyone else can kill you. Otherwise, you won't be able to see your familiar … relatives when you die. "
"I promise!"
"I promise!"
Long Zhenglin and Xue Chao shouted in unison.
Tan Xiu's eyes slowly swept over the others' faces. Looking at their hesitant expressions, he then said in a deep voice, "The rest of you, don't mention this matter to me again. Before I leave, I'll teach you a set of cultivation technique so that you can also become cultivators. If you have great achievements in the future, you can come to the Immortal World to find me. But if you can't, then we'll live in each other's hearts.
"The reason why I called all of you here today is that I want to get drunk with you and drink to my heart's content."
"All of you!"
"Would you like to accompany me to get drunk?"
The eyes of more than a dozen people were a bit red. Long Zhengyu was the oldest, so he grabbed the wine bottle again and shouted in a deep voice, "Let's drink and see off Brother!"
"Let's drink!"
"Drink …"
This night, more than a dozen people were drunk. Even Tan Xiu, who didn't deliberately force out the alcohol, was drunk and fell on the sofa.
The next morning.
After Tan Xiu woke up from his sleep, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face as he looked at the group of people who were swaying left and right. Tan Xiu went to the second floor to take a shower and change his clothes. Then, he began to arrange an array. At noon, when everyone woke up from their drunken stupor, Tan Xiu then began to teach them cultivation techniques.
Medicinal pills.
Body Refining Liquid.
Array blessings.
Various effects were applied at the same time, eventually helping them to step into the ranks of cultivators. Although they had just started to feel the Qi and were barely able to control it.
Early the next morning, everyone except Long Zhengyu had already left. In the study room on the second floor, Tan Xiu took out an interspatial ring and handed it to Long Zhengyu, saying, "Zhengyu, you're the oldest among them and the most mature and steady one. Furthermore, you're someone who values friendship and righteousness, worthy of my trust. Take this interspatial ring and bind it with your blood. Then, it's completely yours. "
Long Zhengyu followed Tan Xiu's instructions and took the interspatial ring. Then, he asked, "There are a lot of things inside."
"They're cultivation resources," said Tan Xiu. "I've put enough medicinal pills inside for you to cultivate for a hundred years. Each pill is recorded in a booklet, including the effects, the best time to take them, and the best time to take them. Additionally, I've also put four books inside. One is an ancient book on arrays, one on alchemy, one on refining, and the last one is a record of resources. You'll have these things together after I leave. Pay more attention to them and help them. I hope I can wait for you in the Immortal World in the future. "
Long Zhengyu's heart was filled with warmth and he nodded repeatedly. "I, Long Zhengyu, swear that I'll never take these things for myself, nor will I leave them alone. Trust me, I'll do my best in the future to take them to the Immortal World to find you. "
Tan Xiu patted his shoulder and said, "Remember my words. If you want to cultivate to a very high level, you'll need a huge amount of cultivation resources to assist you. There are two islands in the South China Sea. You'll take your confidants there later. One of them is for breeding fierce beasts, while the other is for planting medicinal herbs. Don't open the island for breeding fierce beasts before you break through to the Golden Core Stage. But you can rest assured about the island for planting medicinal herbs.
"Also, you'll need a lot of money as your backing if you want to have resources and cultivate faster. I'll give each of them 2% of the Magnificent Tang Corporation's shares and give you 20% of the shares. Someone will find you later and sign the contract with you. There are a lot of contracts you need to sign, but you'll know about it later.
"You're very familiar with Nine Dragons Island, so I hope you can take it as your base camp. I hope you can take it when you can break the array around Nine Dragons Island. At that time, I'll put the island transfer documents in the palace on Nine Dragons Island.
"There's a pocket world in the Longquan Mountain in the west. I've sent some people to seal the entrance to that pocket world a few days ago. You must defeat me. Only when your cultivation breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage can you take your people to that pocket world. Otherwise, all of you will die inside.
"There's a natural Feng Shui array in the mountain behind my hometown, the Su Family Village. There's a Spirit Vein Spring inside. Although my people have been using it all these years, the spiritual energy of the Earth Vein inside hasn't been completely used up. If you want to break through to the Golden Core Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible, take some time to go there and cultivate in seclusion after you've studied the array ancient book I've left for you. "
"…"
Tan Xiu explained a lot of things in one breath, while Long Zhengyu directly picked up a pen and paper and recorded everything Tan Xiu said.
"Anything else?"
Long Zhengyu's heart was filled with warmth, yet his expression was very serious.
Tan Xiu took out a cigarette and lit it. He was silent for a minute before he slowly looked up and said, "There's one more thing I think it's necessary to tell you. The Chinese government has established a secret base in the Taklimakan Desert for three years. The research and manufacture in that secret base are all high-tech weapons. I'm the one who gave them all those weapons, which are also the technological power of a high-level civilization in the universe. If my guess is correct, interstellar battleships will be produced there in a few years at most. By then, humans will be able to step out of Earth and set foot on the Milky Way Galaxy. The world's structure will definitely change in the future, so you must be very careful. Don't trust anyone except yourself unless it's a last resort. "
"Could it be that Huaxia will be able to rule Earth by then?" asked Long Zhengyu in amazement.
"I don't know the specific direction of the situation in the future, either," said Tan Xiu. "But you must remember not to go against the Chinese government. You can choose to leave if they want to trouble you. Also, I need you to do something for me. "
"What is it?" asked Long Zhengyu.
"The Director of Huaxia's Special Abilities Bureau, Duanmu Lin, is more loyal to the country than anything else," said Tan Xiu. "This is a good thing, but you must not have too many dealings with him. Remember to guard against him and keep an eye on him. Don't easily expose your identity as a cultivator. Else, it's very likely that he will make you risk your life for him at many times and in many ways. The most important thing for you is to cultivate and improve your strength. "
"You haven't told me what you want me to do for you," said Long Zhengyu with a frown.
"Help me keep an eye on some families, such as the Ouyangs in Jingmen Island, the Mu Family in the Imperial Capital, and …" Tan Xiu said.
Long Zhengyu interrupted Tan Xiu and nodded seriously. "I got it. I'll help you take care of any families or people who have a special relationship with you in secret."
