Dongfang Yu's words echoed in Shangguan Fengyun's ears.
Tribulation Stage, even above the Tribulation Stage.
This had exceeded his understanding.
In his worldview, the peak of the late Body Integration Stage was the strongest human on Earth, as the next step was to enter Tribulation.
Tribulation meant ascension, leaving this world to pursue the supreme Dao.
But… but why could senior still remain on Earth?
Shangguan Fengyun's expression was full of confusion.
Senior is not a cultivator.
Dongfang Yu placed his hands behind his back, standing under the moonlight, looking up at the starry sky, and said indifferently.
Not a cultivator?
Shangguan Fengyun quickly asked: A practitioner?
Heh… Dongfang Yu let out a scoff.
Then he turned his head to look at Shangguan Fengyun and said word by word: Is this all your vision amounts to? Do you think a practitioner can reach this realm?
Then what? Shangguan Fengyun was confused.
An immortal cultivator. Dongfang Yu spat out three words softly.
Immortal cultivator? Shangguan Fengyun exclaimed, repeating the words.
Immortal cultivators, these were the most formidable cultivators known, and the darlings favored by heaven.
The existence of immortal cultivators had vanished tens of thousands of years ago. Even back then, immortal cultivators were invincible.
What's more, in today's society, finding an immortal cultivator was harder than finding a needle in the sea.
Shangguan Fengyun was utterly shocked this time.
Now you understand why senior hasn't ascended even after reaching the Tribulation Stage, right? Senior cultivates differently from us. He wants to understand how we ascend.
Dongfang Yu was not surprised by Shangguan Fengyun's astonishment, as he had the same expression when he learned about it.
I understand. Shangguan Fengyun nodded heavily.
Then he glanced towards the direction of the main hall, his eyes filled with reverence.
Reverence for the strong, heartfelt admiration.
Brother Dongfang, Senior is staying at my Shangguan family today. Should we select a few young and beautiful women for Senior to enjoy this evening?
Shangguan Fengyun also thought of this. After all, love between men and women has always been a natural occurrence throughout history.
Moreover, such a powerful individual should be well attended to.
No need. Senior is not such a vulgar person. Just do what you ought to do, Dongfang Fengyun instructed.
He had already tried this before, but unfortunately, Xia Feng was not interested. Otherwise, this formidable backing would have been secured.
It seems I was too presumptuous and thought of Senior as vulgar. Shangguan Fengyun quickly recognized his mistake.
After learning Xia Feng's true identity, Shangguan Fengyun's state of mind underwent a drastic change, and he became extremely attentive to Xia Feng's affairs.
During dinner that evening, Shangguan Fengyun proactively served Xia Feng like a waiter.
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, a group of people set off for Penglai Island.
The Nangong family on Penglai Island was the farthest of the four reclusive families. Xia Feng made a call to Long Aotian, asking him to arrange a private plane for them.
Upon receiving the call, Long Aotian reacted swiftly and made the arrangements in no time.
.........
Xia Lin had agreed to attend a banquet with Old Wang today.
What was called a banquet was actually Xu Jiaying inviting Xia Lin for a meal. After Xu Jiaying had treated Old Wang and the others to a meal last time, he had not left but had stayed in Modu, persistently pestering Old Wang for several days.
Old Wang, unable to bear a grown man's incessant nagging for half a day, finally agreed to help ask.
Unexpectedly, Xia Lin readily agreed, which made Old Wang happy for a while.
In the morning, Xia Lin and a few others saw Lin Yuwei and Dongfang Lingyu off at the airport. The two were laden with gifts.
It was as if they were returning from visiting relatives, carrying only gifts.
Jiang Quanshui arranged for a private jet to fly them back to Chengdu and then arranged for cars to take them home.
Ring ring ring…..
Old Wang's phone rang again. Upon answering, Old Wang cursed, What are you rushing for? We’ll be there shortly.
The call was from Xu Jiaying. This was already the third call.
Hehe… I’m just bored. I’ve also invited Mr. Zhong over, Xu Jiaying chuckled.
The water seller? Old Wang asked.
Yes, it’s him. Xu Jiaying nodded on the phone.
Alright, we’ll be there shortly. After confirming, Old Wang hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Old Wang organized everyone to go over first.
Since Xia Lin and the others had gone out in the morning to see Lin Yuwei off, they were not together, so Xia Lin and the others could go directly to their destination.
Modu Hotel.
This was a time-honored hotel that had been in existence for over a hundred years and had now evolved into a venerable hotel in Modu.
As soon as Old Wang and his group arrived, Xu Jiaying stood up and said with a smile, All you bosses are so busy. It’s really difficult to meet you.
Hello, esteemed bosses. Zhong Yangyang stood up and greeted Old Wang and his group.
Mr. Zhong, what wind has blown you here?
Jack Ma walked over and asked with a smile.
Hehe… I’ve been hearing you all talk about starting an entertainment company in the group chat. I happen to be in Modu, and I ran into Mr. Xu, so I shamelessly came to freeload a meal.
Zhong Yangyang smiled politely.
Mr. Zhong, you’re being too formal. You are the number one water seller in China, Lei Ming interjected with a smile.
To become a richest man by selling water is indeed being number one.
Heh heh… Just lucky, just lucky. Zhong Yangyang smiled humbly.
Then he looked at Jack Ma and said, Teacher Ma is the truly wealthy one. We are only superficially so.
Haha… Stop flattering me. Jack Ma laughed upon hearing this.
Teacher Ma, don't be modest. Even if you do nothing else, just be responsible for cooking the dishes, and you'll always be our elder brother.
Lei Ming, seeing Jack Ma's modest expression, specifically highlighted the key point.
Isn't Jack Ma's main focus now on cooking?
Xia Shao's personal chef, that title is renowned. They could only envy it.
With such a title, it was enough to brag about for a lifetime.
Zhong Yangyang listened, feeling a bit bewildered. Why did it suddenly turn to cooking?
Even Xu Jiaying beside him was somewhat confused. After all, Old Wang had concealed it so well that Xu Jiaying only had a vague understanding of Xia Lin's matters.
Mr. Lei, what do you mean by cooking? Zhong Yangyang asked inexplicably.
Teacher Ma is adept at running businesses, but cooking is his main profession. We are all extremely envious. Jiang Quanshui chimed in with a smile.
Zhong Yangyang was greatly surprised upon hearing this and asked:
Teacher Ma, I only knew you were a teacher, I never knew you could cook so well. Teacher Ma is truly a divine person!
