Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 191 The Power of the Immortal Sect
Xu Ziqing stared blankly at Chen Beiwu, who had become the focus of attention in the distance, her heart pounding faster and faster.

From the moment she first saw Chen Beiwu, she knew he was destined for greatness and would one day rise to prominence and become a legend in the Fallen Dragon Palace.

Xu Ziqing did not expect Chen Beiwu to grow so fast, so fast that even she could not keep up.

"Ziqing, I told you before, the fastest way to steal a man is to force yourself on him and make it a fait accompli."

"She looks somewhat like Xu Ziqing," the sophisticated woman dressed in a wealthy manner suggested softly.

Xu Ziqing pursed her lips, glanced at her mother, and retorted, "That's not what you said before!"

"Who was it that said they would break my legs and throw that bastard who seduced my daughter into the Panjiang River to feed the fish if I dared to date before the college entrance exam?"

Hearing this, the lady blinked: "That was then, daughter. It's not too late for you to start now."

"It's too late." Xu Ziqing's eyes flickered as she muttered to herself, "If I really do that now, I might not even be able to remain friends."

Dragons do not live with snakes!
She couldn't even pass the entrance exam for the Thirteen Immortal Sects, so perhaps continuing to persist would be futile.

"What a cowardly girl." The noblewoman curled her lip and turned to leave.

……

People are happy when they are happy.

When Chen Beiwu returned home from the train station, he noticed that his parents' spirits and energy were completely different from before, as if they were different people.

"How about we move to a different place?" Chen Beiwu suggested.

He had only been inside for a few minutes when a steady stream of neighbors and relatives came to visit, the knocking never stopping.

There was even a group of reporters outside the residential area who stayed there and didn't leave, interviewing the neighbors about his deeds.

“There’s no need to move. We’re used to living on Xiangwei Street.” Mom shook her head, a smile on her face.

Lately, she goes for a walk in the neighborhood every day after breakfast and occasionally visits her neighbors.

The reason is simple: whenever Ms. Huang Xiaoling meets her neighbors, she always hears acquaintances praising Chen Beiwu, and some even humbly ask her for advice on how to raise their children.

Chen Dong is in a similar situation.

He had originally retired from Qinghui Tile Factory and was helping his son host live-streaming sales.

As a result, he went to the tile factory every few days, just to show off in front of others and say to his former colleagues, "Like father, like son."

"Beiwu, there's something I want to tell you." Huang Xiaoling and Chen Dong exchanged a glance, and Huang Xiaoling suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Chen Beiwu asked curiously.

"Xiaoqin is a good child. She took on the cultivation loan left by her parents at such a young age."

Huang Xiaoling looked into his eyes: "Perhaps it's because she can't repay her cultivation loan. Last month, there were always strange cultivators stopping and knocking on her door."

"Mom, do you mean you want me to help Sister Qin pay off her cultivation loan?" Chen Beiwu looked at Huang Xiaoling.

"Of course not." Mom shook her head: "Cultivation loans are a bottomless pit. You've worked hard these past few years to earn spiritual energy through live streaming and selling goods. How could I possibly let you pay it back?"

At this point, Huang Xiaoling took out an IOU: "Ever since the news of your admission to the Jade Purity Immortal Sect spread, the debt collectors in front of Xiaoqin's door have suddenly disappeared."

Yesterday at noon, the owner of the "One Point Interest Cultivation Loan" came to our door with the IOU from Xiaoqin's parents, saying they had made a huge mistake and wanted to invite us to a meal to apologize.

"When is this meal scheduled?" Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow and took the IOU.

Don't curse those who apologize, and don't hit those who are smiling.

Sister Qin's cultivation loan is no small amount; with interest compounded over more than a decade, it has now grown to at least tens of thousands of spirit yuan.

Even if the IOU doesn't represent actual spirit stones, and those cultivators who owe cultivation loans simply can't afford to repay such a large amount of interest, the other party has at least shown sufficient sincerity. If it's just a matter of having a meal together, Chen Beiwu wouldn't mind stepping in for Sister Qin out of consideration for their past relationship.

“He said he would be ready anytime,” Huang Xiaoling said.

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the contact information on the IOU.

……

noon the next day.

Private banquet in Yueyang, room number one.

As the maid opened the door to the private room, two ordinary-looking middle-aged men immediately stood up to greet her.

"Mr. Chen Beiwu, thank you for your presence. This way, please."

Chen Beiwu nodded, sat down, and his gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the aura above the two people's heads.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Beiwu got straight to the point: "What is it you two can talk about?"

Lu Quan considered for a moment and said, "Our cultivation loan business, which my brother and I founded, has recently encountered a bottleneck, so we would like to ask Mr. Chen Beiwu for a favor."

"I don't know much about cultivation loans, so I probably can't be of much help to you," Chen Beiwu said, frowning slightly as he politely declined.

"This matter does not require Your Excellency Chen Beiwu's concern."

Another Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lu Ren, quickly explained, "Your investment of one thousand spirit coins to acquire 1% of our company will allow you to receive approximately three thousand spirit coins in dividends annually."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu immediately guessed the two men's purpose.

"I'm sorry, thank you both for your high regard, but I'm not interested in Cultivation Loan and have no plans to invest at the moment."

After saying that, he got up and left in front of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators without even eating.

Watching Chen Beiwu's figure disappear into the distance, Lu Ren frowned: "What an arrogant fellow!"

Lu Quan stretched out his right hand and slapped his indignant second brother on the head: "Idiot, in our line of work, you have to know who you can mess with and who you can't."

"What immortal sect disciple? To put it bluntly, he's just a Qi Refining cultivator. I don't understand why you're so wary of him, even going so far as to offer company shares to win him over."

Lu Ren said unhappily, "Zhang Yang was known as the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator back then, but he didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me."

"What do you know! The reason we were able to deal with Zhang Yang's parents was because he was too high-profile and offended Young Master Yi at the Mirror Lake Sword Sect."

At this point, Lu Quan paused slightly, "Second brother, you need to recognize your own identity. We insignificant people are just Young Master Yi's black gloves."

If we provoke the chosen ones who have passed the imperial examinations of the Thirteen Immortal Sects for no reason, the only outcome will be death. Even Young Master Yi won't stand up for us, do you understand?

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lu Ren immediately calmed down.

After scolding him, Lu Quan began to soothe his sworn brother's emotions: "But you did a good job this time, finding out about the childhood sweetheart relationship between Chen Beiwu and Chen Qin in advance, so that nothing got out of hand."

We personally delivered the IOU to their door and even gave them company shares as a gesture of goodwill; we had already shown them enough respect.

Chen Beiwu shouldn't make things difficult for us with even a little bit of interest on our cultivation loan.

“But what if he keeps pressing on it?” Lu Ren countered.

"We've already given him the respect he deserves. If Chen Beiwu doesn't know what's good for him..." A fierce glint flashed in Lu Quan's eyes.

But when he thought of the Thirteen Immortal Sects' dominance, he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "Then my brother and I will apologize to Chen Qin and ask for her forgiveness!"
