Chapter 644: Chapter 643: At All Costs
Who on earth is this Young Master Lin? No wonder he is so arrogant, so self-assured.
"Yes, keep investigating for me. Spare no expense; I must find out his background!"
Young Master Lin said coldly.
"Yes, Young Master Lin."
After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help feeling baffled.
What on earth was this Young Master Lin up to?
"Hey, Young Master Lin, do you need anything else?"
Liu Zheng asked, looking at Young Master Lin.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Lin came over with a smile and pulled Liu Zheng up, "Let’s have a chat, just the two of us brothers."
Liu Zheng frowned.
"There’s nothing for us brothers to talk about; you should go back to playing with your little girlfriend."
"Heh, let’s talk about supernatural abilities, it will be entirely beneficial to you," he said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Supernatural abilities?
Was Young Master Lin talking about supernatural abilities?
How could that be possible? How could someone from the cultivation world possess supernatural abilities?
"Liu Zheng, I can tell you, the cultivation world is not like the secular world, mortals can’t even begin to understand the power of cultivators. We cultivators possess power and speed beyond ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng was even more shocked.
He had not expected that Young Master Lin was claiming to have the strength of a cultivator!
Could cultivators from the cultivation world really be so powerful?
"I know you are confused about the affairs of the cultivation world," Young Master Lin said, looking at Liu Zheng, "don’t worry, I won’t harm you. Because we are of the same kind, you must have guessed it already, right?"
"I am a cultivator," Liu Zheng said.
Young Master Lin nodded with a smile, "That’s right, you are a cultivator! You possess the special physique of a cultivator!"
"I have a special physique?" Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.
"Yes!" Young Master Lin nodded and said, "You should know, under the Lin Corporation, there’s a company that specializes in cultivating special physiques for cultivators. And now, you have already become a cultivator."
"However, your special physique is too weak, so you are no match for me!"
After hearing Young Master Lin’s words, Liu Zheng was completely stunned.
"What... what did you say?"
Liu Zheng could hardly believe that he had become a cultivator?
How could that be possible?
Aren’t cultivators supposed to be hidden in the shadows? How could they appear in reality?
"You heard me right!"
Young Master Lin said, "I said you are a cultivator, and furthermore, one of the most outstanding among cultivators!"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently patted Liu Zheng’s body.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Liu Zheng felt a surge through his body, and all his injuries vanished.
He looked down and saw that his originally aged face had rapidly become several years younger, his skin extremely fair, and he appeared no different from an ordinary person.
"How is this possible?" Liu Zheng exclaimed in astonishment, "My body has actually reverted to youth!"
"Hehe!" Young Master Lin chuckled lightly, "That’s right, your body has indeed recovered!"
"My body now is many times stronger than that of an ordinary person!"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, "Young Master Lin, thank you for your help!"
"Don’t mention it!" Young Master Lin waved his hand and then looked at Liu Zheng, saying, "Do you know what a cultivator is?"
"Of course I do!" Liu Zheng nodded emphatically.
Young Master Lin said, "Do you know a guy named Liu Zheng?"
"Liu Zheng? You mean, that guy dressed in tattered clothes?"
Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.
"Yes!" Young Master Lin nodded and said, "That’s Liu Zheng."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng was taken aback, then widened his eyes and looked at Young Master Lin in disbelief, "Impossible! How could he possibly be a cultivator?"
Young Master Lin sneered, "Liu Zheng, your status is too lowly to fit in the world of cultivation, hence you must leave Jiangnan City."
"Leave Jiangnan City? Why should I leave Jiangnan City?"
Liu Zheng asked, confused.
Lin Shao said indifferently, "Because I have discovered that there is a cultivator’s base hidden in Jiangnan City, I must eradicate it. Otherwise, I will be hunted down by Cultivators forever."
Upon hearing Lin Shao’s words, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but frown.
"You had better think this over," Lin Shao said, looking at Liu Zheng.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zheng replied, "Since Young Master Lin has spoken these words, I will certainly not go against your wishes. How about this, I will temporarily stay by your side and wait for the opportunity to kill that Cultivator."
Seeing that Liu Zheng had finally agreed, Lin Shao nodded in satisfaction, "Very good! I hope you won’t disappoint me, and don’t let myself down."
"I will do my best!" Liu Zheng said, nodding respectfully.
His current identity was that of a subordinate to Young Master Lin, so of course, he had to be completely obedient to Lin Shao.
"Young Master Lin, where are we going now?"
"Let’s go to your place; you might also need to cultivate."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng quickly nodded in agreement, and then the two hurried towards Lin Shao’s residence.
...
Lin Shao’s residence was located in a villa complex in the suburban area of Jiangnan City.
The entire villa was a vast property, covering tens of thousands of square meters in area.
Lin Shao’s abode was in the central garden, where the garden included a fountain, rockery, swimming pool, gym, basketball court, golf course... and other fully-equipped facilities.
The inside of the villa was also extravagantly decorated, luxurious beyond measure, resembling a palace.
This place was none other than the president’s office of Lin Corporation.
On the sofa of the president’s office, Lin Shao and Liu Zheng sat together.
Liu Zheng looked at Lin Shao and asked, "Young Master Lin, have you already found that cultivator’s base?"
Lin Shao nodded, "That’s right, your body has now reached the standard of a cultivator, so you can begin cultivating."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng knelt down immediately, "Young Master Lin, please take me in, I am willing to serve you!"
"Stand up."
With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Shao helped Liu Zheng get on his feet.
Liu Zheng stood upright and waited respectfully.
"Alright, I will now send you to the base for cultivation."
"Thank you, Young Master Lin!" Liu Zheng bowed in thanks again.
Lin Shao smiled, said nothing more, and took Liu Zheng towards the base.
"Liu Zheng, you graduated from Jiangnan Military Academy, didn’t you?" Lin Shao suddenly asked.
"Yes! When I was in my senior year of high school, I missed the college entrance exam because I was too playful," explained Liu Zheng, "But I have always loved studying. So, after the college entrance exam, I chose the military academy and thus began my military career, becoming a soldier!"
Lin Shao nodded without saying anything further.
"Young Master Lin, don’t worry, I will study hard," Liu Zheng stated seriously.
Lin Shao smiled and said, "I’m not afraid you’ll slack off because I know you’re absolutely qualified. Now, rest for a while, and I will arrange your training tasks."
"Good!" Liu Zheng agreed.
He knew that Young Master Lin’s intention was to have him implanted in the base, acting as an undercover agent.
This move was indeed dangerous, but it was the only way at the moment.
Because if not, he would definitely not be able to leave Jiangnan City.
...
After arranging for Liu Zheng to be in the valley behind the base, Lin Shao told Liu Zheng that there were many Cultivators within the valley and warned him to be careful.
"Young Master Lin, rest assured, I will be vigilant!" Liu Zheng said.
"Good!"
Lin Shao nodded, then turned and left, returning to the villa to prepare for a meeting with Liu Zheng.
Upon reaching the gate of the villa, Lin Shao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
An idea occurred to him.
If he trained Liu Zheng here, perhaps Liu Zheng could integrate into the world of Cultivators more quickly, advance in strength, and then when Lin Shao later pulled him out of the world of Cultivators, even if he faced danger, he would not lose his life.
However, Lin Shao did not plan to reveal all of this to Liu Zheng but instead had him look for the Cultivators’ base, find the headquarters, and then crush the base, eradicating all the Cultivators.
In doing so, he would not only eliminate a hidden danger but would also receive a generous reward—so why not do it!
...
Half a month later, at the Lin Family.
In Lin Shao’s private conference room, Lin Shao sat in the main seat with Liu Zheng at his side, along with four other bodyguards.
Lin Shao glanced at those present and said gravely, "Today, I have called everyone here to announce something. Starting tomorrow, I will personally instruct Liu Zheng in cultivation."
