Then all my cultivation as an immortal has been for nothing?

Chapter 56 The Ancestor of the Chen Family
The so-called dormitory is actually a residential building built on top of a large shopping mall near the company.

By this time, the mall was already closed, with only a side entrance open to the KTV and billiards hall inside.

"We're on the 24th floor of Building C," Lin Weiwei said as she led Wang Yi and Elsa into the side entrance.

There were several heavily made-up young women in the elevator lobby, probably there to sing karaoke.

Lin Weiwei stood out from the crowd.

The fact that she doesn't have tattoos alone puts her to shame against these delinquent girls.

The elevator quickly reached the 24th floor, and Lin Weiwei stepped out first: "2408 is where we live. It has five bedrooms and two living rooms. The company made some minor renovations, moving the openings of the bathroom and walk-in closet that were originally connected to the master bedroom to this side of the corridor."

Wang Yi casually asked, "So who lives in the biggest master bedroom?"

“That’s the captain’s room, I’ll stay there.” Lin Weiwei stood in front of the door and turned to look at Wang Yi. “If you want to stay there, I’ll switch with you—by the way, does Senior Elsa live with us too?”

Elsa: "Don't worry, I can turn into a cat and won't take up much space. But I need to eat ten pieces of Wagyu beef every day."

How come it's increased compared to before?

Elsa: "Bloodstained! I am a beast!"

Wang Yi: "No problem, it's your own money anyway."

Lin Weiwei: "Your fingerprint and facial recognition data have been uploaded to the door lock through the company's network. Just stand at the door like this."

Lin Weiwei stood in front of the smart lock, and the lock lit up green the next moment, with an AI-generated voice that was sickeningly sweet: "The door is open."

“Come in,” the girl said, opening the door. “Because Viper lives in his own house with his wife and kids, there are two empty rooms. You can choose whichever you prefer. You can stay in the captain’s room if you want; I don’t really like the captain’s room because it’s too big. I prefer a small but complete room.”

Just as Wang Yi was about to answer, an old and authoritative voice came from the room: "Why are you so late?"

The voice was incredibly imposing, and Wang Yi immediately assumed it was Lin Weiwei's master, Master Yi Zhenren—according to the information, this person was a Golden Core cultivator, so it wasn't surprising that he possessed such imposing power.

The next moment, the white-bearded old man appeared at the junction of the entrance hall and the living room.

The old man looked very energetic, like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, holding a whisk in his hand, looking exactly like Taibai Jinxing from "Spring Bright Pigsy".

Lin Weiwei immediately bowed and said, "Master Xuanming, why didn't you inform me of your arrival?"

Xuanming Daoist? Is someone with that title actually a good person?
"Do I need to report to you to come see my great-granddaughter? Although your master is a True Person, isn't he meddling a bit too much?" Xuanming Daoist said bluntly.

It turns out to be Chen Dongdong's ancestor.

Chen Dongdong appeared and tugged at Xuanming Daoist's clothes from behind: "Grandpa! What are you doing! The captain is waiting for 'Wenhao's' test results, that's why he came back so late."

Xuanming Daoist immediately changed his expression, smiling as he said to Chen Dongdong, "Alright, alright, Grandpa's not angry. Are you feeling better?"

Chen Dongdong nodded: "I feel better."

Then she looked at Wang Yi: "Wenhao, are you... alright?"

Wang Yi made a V sign: "Very good."

Chen Dongdong bit her lip: "Then... when you were inside the monster's belly, did you... did you meet the God of Wealth—Zhang Xin?"

Faced with the girl's hopeful eyes, Wang Yi hardened his heart and said, "No. After I was devoured, I went to a strange space. Apart from the mysterious person who tore through space to save me and the monsters, I didn't see anyone else."

In reality, there wasn't even a mysterious figure; the monsters were torn apart by cheat codes.

Chen Dongdong asked with a look of pity, "So, Zhang Xin... sacrificed himself, right?"

Lin Weiwei: "He sacrificed his life. The company's compensation department has already taken action. Zhang Xin's work experience, medical records after the car accident, and body are all being prepared. His parents will be notified tomorrow."

Wang Yi was somewhat surprised: "The company handles these things?"

“Of course we’ll take care of it,” Elsa replied. “Dead cultivators will return to the mortal world. In the company, if they sacrificed themselves to uphold justice, they will be placed in the Martyrs’ Cemetery with a cenotaph. If they were corrupted by demons, they will be marked with a monument of shame.”

There's also a monument to shame.

Xuanming Daoist looked at Wang Yi: "Dongdong said that you turned the tide at the last moment and tore apart the monster that the demonic cultivator had transformed into?"

Wang Yi: "It wasn't me, it was a powerful being who happened to be passing by who saved me."

“A powerful being passing by.” Xuanming Daoist squinted at Wang Yi.

At that moment, Wang Yi felt "tentacles" made of qi touching him from Xuanming Daoist's side, presumably probing him.

Xuanming Daoist: "Why are you practicing the Nine Transformations to Heaven Record, a cultivation technique that's not suitable for your main cultivation? What is your master doing?"

Elsa: "He chose it himself."

“This isn’t something that can be dismissed with a simple ‘he chose it himself’, is it? Your guidance as his master is crucial!” Xuanming Daoist sighed. “’Wenhao’ is Dongdong’s teammate; if he’s unreliable, he’ll be the death of Dongdong!”

Elsa was not intimidated at all when facing a Golden Core cultivator: "Then you should take Chen Dongdong away. Surely a Golden Core cultivator can't even do that?"

"You!" Xuanming Daoist was about to lash out, but Chen Dongdong stopped him.

Wang Yi realized that this Golden Core cultivator was obsessed with Chen Dongdong!
Xuanming Daoist sighed and looked at Wang Yi, saying, "Are you a melee fighter or a ranged attacker? Do you want martial arts or magic?"

Huh?
Wang Yi was caught off guard and stared wide-eyed at Xuanming Daoist.

Lin Weiwei: "Senior Xuanming Daoist took good care of our team before. He originally wanted to give me a cultivation technique, but my master refused. Viper took one of his magic treasures, and Zhang Xin's Iron Shirt was also given to him by him."

Oh my, sorry I didn't recognize you just now. So you're the Money-Giving Boy!

Xuanming Daoist: "I can't follow Dongdong around all day, so I can only try to strengthen Dongdong's team. 'Wenhao' team member, what do you want?"

A million options flashed through Wang Yi's mind, but he decided to see what Elsa had to say first.

His gaze had barely shifted when Elsa said, "Take it if you want, but you're only at the early stage of Qi Refining. Your physical strength is what it is now, so you can't learn any powerful fist techniques. As for magic, you've only just learned telekinesis, so your range of choices isn't very large."

"In short, it's pointless to take it."

At this moment, Xuanming Daoist said, "That's why demons can't be good teachers. With Xiao Wang's current level, he can definitely learn the Five Animal Fist to improve his health."

As he spoke, Xuanming Daoist took out a thread-bound book and tossed it to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi barely caught it, and when he saw that the cover read "Five Animal Frolics," there was also a line of small print on the spine: "Commercial Press, 12."

Wait a minute, this isn't that old!

Xuanming Daoist: "You should cultivate diligently! As for the wolf demon, you and Dongdong will serve as the vanguard in the attack—"

Elsa: "I don't usually participate in combat operations."

"What?!" Xuanming Daoist exclaimed in shock. "How can that be? Dongdong alone as the vanguard—"

Chen Dongdong: "Grandpa! I'm fine on my own! I learned a lot from Zhang Xin, so I'm okay!"

"You're only at the early stage of Qi Refining!" Xuanming Daoist raised his voice. "How can someone at the early stage of Qi Refining be the most dangerous vanguard? Your great-grandfather doesn't agree!"

"Grandpa!" Chen Dongdong cried out anxiously, "If you do this, Zhang Xin will laugh at me from beyond the grave! I don't want to do this!"

Xuanming Daoist was shocked: "That brat really did attack you!"

"He didn't! We're very good friends, partners! Grandpa, you don't understand!"

Xuanming Daoist: "How could I not understand? Aren't all those single rascals like this? I can tell what dish they're going to pick up as soon as they lift their chopsticks!"

"You're not allowed to talk about my partner like that!" Chen Dongdong glared at Xuanming Daoist, his temper clearly rising.

Wang Yi never expected that Chen Dongdong, who seemed so gentle, would have this side to her.

Chen Dongdong shouted at Xuanming Daoist, "You are defiling our pure camaraderie! I hate this kind of great-grandfather the most!"

Xuanming Daoist: "Huh?"

Chen Dongdong turned and ran away, slamming the door shut as she went into her room.

"Dongdong!" Xuanming Daoist ran to the door, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands—"

"If you use magic to open the door, I'll dislike my great-grandfather for the rest of my life!"

"Huh?" Xuanming Daoist got stuck halfway through reciting the incantation.

Wang Yi watched from the sidelines, while Xuanming Daoist's image had completely crumbled.

Elsa exclaimed, "According to the company's data, Xuanming Daoist has been stuck in the Golden Core realm for two hundred years, yet his Dao heart is so stable. It seems he can still break through."

Wang Yi pointed at the old Taoist priest: "Is this a sign of a steadfast Daoist heart?"

Elsa: "That's incredibly secure."

Lin Weiwei also whispered, "I've heard that the more an old man who's been stuck in the Golden Core stage for a long time acts like a mischievous old man, the more stable his Dao heart is."

Upon hearing Lin Weiwei's voice, the old Taoist Xuanming immediately turned his head: "You, the captain! The team members are having a fight, why haven't you taken any action yet?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Chen Dongdong shouted from inside the room, "Don't yell at my sister Weiwei!"

The old man said, "Uh... Miss Weiwei, why don't you try to comfort Dongdong?"

A 300-year-old Taoist priest, mimicking a young person, called Lin Weiwei "Miss Sister," leaving Wang Yi speechless with astonishment.

I heard that Chen Dongdong is the first person in all the generations of the Chen family to have spiritual roots, no wonder their ancestor dotes on her so much.

Put yourself in their shoes; that's being favored.

At this moment, Xuanming Daoist's gaze fell on Wang Yi: "You, focus on your training! Don't think about anything else! And don't you dare make any advances toward my Dongdong!"

As he spoke, Xuanming Daoist seemed afraid that Chen Dongdong in the room would hear him, so he lowered his voice.

Wang Yi patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, senior, I like big breasts."

"Hey." Lin Weiwei's gaze towards Wang Yi turned slightly disdainful.

It seems I just lost some goodwill.

Just as Wang Yi was about to make up for it, Xuanming Daoist said seriously, "Our Dongdong will have one too!"

No, he's already eighteen. Unless he takes a science or hard work course, he probably won't have any more.

"Great-grandfather!" Chen Dongdong opened the door. "You'd better leave! I hate you the most!"

"Alright, alright, Grandpa's leaving right away! Don't hate Grandpa! Remember to take the supplements to stabilize your Dao heart! Be good!"

A small whirlwind appeared beneath Xuanming Daoist's feet, and he was teleported away.

Lin Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief: "They're finally gone. I thought I was going to get scolded again."

Wang Yi: "Does he often criticize you?"

"Yes, it seems that he didn't get along with my master, Master Yi. It seems that his limelight was completely overshadowed by Master Yi, who was a junior at the time, and his Dao heart was unstable for many years because of this."

Wang Yi: "And then he started putting pressure on you?"

“No, at first he just asked me to take good care of Dongdong, since we're newcomers in the same batch. Then my master was there that day too, so…” Lin Weiwei waved her hand, “Never mind, it’s getting late, you should hurry up and choose a room and get ready to rest.”
