Chapter 1254: Chapter 1254: A High Five as Proof
"Wuwuwu....."
Without holding back, Lin Wushuang cried so freely for the first time, while Li Bingshuang beside her, and those coming down from upstairs—Jiang Yufan, Lu Xiaoyu, Liu Ting, and even Shen Yan—were all dumbfounded.
However, seeing this scene, they could basically guess that the matter had already been exposed.
Chen Tianlong did not stop his action because of the others watching. He took Lin Wushuang in his arms tightly and only stood still until she was tired of crying and quieted down.
After crying for more than ten minutes, Lin Wushuang noticed the little friends around and suddenly felt a bit shy. She hurriedly pushed Chen Tianlong away and pouted, saying, "What are you all doing? Don’t you have school or work to go to?"
"Aha, everyone, go to work or school." Chen Tianlong came to his senses and hurriedly signaled to everyone.
Upon hearing this, they hastily "oh" and went about their business.
In an instant, only Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang were left in the hall. At this moment, Chen Tianlong’s affectionate gaze made Lin Wushuang feel a bit embarrassed, and she couldn’t help but lower her head.
"Wushuang, no matter what happens, you will always be my dearest fiancée." Chen Tianlong said firmly.
"Chen Tianlong....."
"Wushuang, let’s go find Mengting, okay? No matter what, we must bring her back, and I will try my best to find a way to remove the demonic Qi from her body." Chen Tianlong interrupted Lin Wushuang.
"Chen Tianlong, no, Mengting said that the demonic Qi in her body has mutated. If absorbed by someone else again, it will be irreversible." Lin Wushuang said anxiously.
"Got it, I didn’t say I was going to absorb it, hehe." Seeing the anxious look of the young lady, Chen Tianlong smiled wryly.
"Then let’s make a promise with a high five, don’t lie to me." Lin Wushuang thought about it and said.
"Okay, promise with a high five." Chen Tianlong smiled gently, stretched out his palm, and the two placed their palms together, then smiled at each other...
Tan Family Mansion.
Tan Tian took out the Peak Qi Gathering Pill and studied it, finding that it contained a large amount of Powerful Qi trigger factors. Although it only accounted for about sixty to seventy percent of the full effect, he faintly felt that the effect of this Peak Qi Gathering Pill was immeasurable.
Hearing from his granddaughter Wu Mengting that Chen Tianlong wanted her to become a cultivator but needed a Heart Method, Tan Tian then took out the Tan Family’s unique skill, the Fire Phoenix Technique, for her to cultivate.
Actually, the Fire Phoenix Technique is divided into four layers; it is a very powerful Heart Method.
However, when he left the Tan Family, he only learned two layers. As for the other two layers, his second brother Tan Yifeng has them. In fact, his eldest brother Tan Huaifeng had long made a copy of the entire Fire Phoenix Technique but took it abroad then.
However, this martial art is best practiced by women, because it is a cultivation technique for women, so until now, no descendants of the Tan Family have successfully mastered it, not even the current Patriarch of the Ancient Tan Family, Tan Yifeng, who has only learned the third layer, and cannot progress further.
With the help of two Super Qi Gathering Pills not long ago, the strength of the Patriarch of the Tan Family broke through to Celestial Dao Great Perfection. Henceforth, another Celestial Dao Great Perfection exists in the world.
"Mengting, this is the Ancient Tan Family’s unique Heart Method Fire Phoenix. You must utilize it well. Although I only have two layers, as long as you master them and with my and Chen Tianlong’s help, breaking through the Celestial Dao isn’t an issue." Tan Tian could only assure Wu Mengting could break through the Celestial Dao, but not Celestial Dao Seven Stars.
After all, to break through the Celestial Dao Seven Stars, there are many conditions required, not just as simple as stacking pills, but also a matter of constitution.
Wu Mengting hasn’t undergone the Celestial Pill Sect’s trials, so she naturally can’t obtain the body refinement by Evil Qi, making it essentially impossible to break through to Celestial Dao Seven Stars.
But Wu Mengting never intended to break through to Celestial Dao Seven Stars. Hearing that after Celestial Dao, aging can be slowed. Just being able to keep up with Chen Tianlong and others makes her very happy, not caring much about her own strength.
"Mmm, no big deal, then there’s no time like the present, Grandpa, teach me the Heart Method, Chen Tianlong is so busy, let’s not trouble him, and I’ll directly level up, wouldn’t it be a great surprise for him?" Wu Mengting suggested.
"Haha, Mengting, you girl, for Chen Tianlong to marry you in the future is his blessing indeed."
Tan Tian laughed joyfully, and the two went to the room. As Wu Mengting was cultivating the Heart Method for the first time, what Tan Tian needed to do was body refining for her.
He was quite familiar with this body refining thing, having done it for Chen Tianlong once before which, due to Chen Tianlong’s heaven-defying constitution, only took a few hours.
But Wu Mengting was different; her constitution seemed normal, so it would take about a day and a night. This way, she might not be able to go to work the next day.
However, currently, besides Chen Tianlong, only the two of them and Li Bingshuang managed the company, so Wu Mengting taking a day off shouldn’t be a big issue.
So, Wu Mengting stayed home for two days for body refining, sitting naked in the medicinal vat, feeling quite bored. But thinking about being able to protect herself in the future and keep pace with Chen Tianlong and others, a surge of energy filled her heart.
Body refining is quite a painful process, not only requiring endurance but also enduring the erosion of the medicinal water on the body. However, for the strong-willed Wu Mengting, none of this poses a significant challenge.
On the other side.
The Capital City experienced the most severe financial crisis in history. The economic leaders, headed by the Five Great Families—Mo, Chu, Yang, Huang, and the already declining Celestial Wolf Gang, began to forage towards the surrounding cities.
And at this time, the Ancient Tan Family, which had always been in the Celestial Descent Mountain area on the outskirts of the Capital City, took action. In just one week, it swallowed over fifty small and medium-sized companies in the Capital City, directly becoming the leader of the Capital City.
This caused the Mo, Chu, Huang, and Yang families to unite in resistance. However, due to the powerful strength of the Ancient Tan Family, the Five Great Families found themselves at a disadvantage and had no choice but to seek help from the Black Alliance and the Celestial Pill Sect.
This battle barely came to a halt.
But the resources in the Capital City had already been depleted. After the Ancient Tan Family took over parts of the Capital City’s industry, within less than half a month, due to a lack of funds, operations once again came to a stop.
Finally, led by the Mo Family, the remaining families, together with the newly rising Lei Family of the Capital City, temporarily restrained the Li Tan Family, causing the Ancient Tan Family to face a shortage of resources and an inability to circulate funds. They later came to know the South Sea City was rich in resources, especially the leading economic giant, Lin Group, and the New Star World Pharmaceutical Group.
The Ancient Tan Family decided to make a trip to South Sea City. This time, they did not plan to cooperate, but to use force to suppress and make them hand over their shares.
The Ancient Tan Family is so domineering; they desire real power, to control all operations, rather than merely collaborating for profit.
