Long Zhenglin’s words made Tang Xiu’s eyes brighten up, and he couldn’t help but glance at Long Zhenglin.
Tang Xiu’s instinct could clearly tell that Long Zhenglin was not the kind of delinquent youngster that often hung out at the Game Hall. Although Long Zhenglin was shamelessly pestering him, but his words, actions, and mannerism didn’t have the slightest annoying low life aura.
“You’re the one who helped solve my problem with the Health and Prosper Club back there, yes?” Tang Xiu stopped walking and suddenly asked.
Long Zhenglin originally wanted to shake his head and deny it, but under Tang Xiu’s gaze, he still finally said the truth, “Eldest Brother, the Health and Prosper Club doesn’t respect any business ethics, so I gave them a warning. It seems that my actions were unnecessary because even if I didn’t act, Eldest Brother could have solved that club. Oh no! Eldest Brother, did I do something that bothered your pleasure?”
“Although I can solve the trouble with Health and Prosper Club myself, but still, I owe you a favor. The name is Tang Xiu, Class 10, third-year student at Star City First High School. If you need me, you can come to look for me.” Tang Xiu stared at Long Zhenglin and finally decided to accept him as a friend.
“Eldest brother, you’re polite, I’m surnamed Long, the name is Zhenglin. I’m schooling at Second High School and I’m also a third year. I’ll be sure to visit you in my free time.” Upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words that seemed like he was going to leave, Long Zhenglin also knew when to stop, and didn’t dare to continue pestering Tang Xiu any longer.
For Long Zhenglin, he wasn’t only successful in getting close with Tang Xiu, but also knew Tang Xiu’s identity, and it would be easier to contact him further and to him; this had been a worthwhile endeavor.
After a simple farewell, Tang Xiu didn’t delay anymore and quickly left.
Gazing at Tang Xiu’s back until his figure gradually faded away in darkness, an excited smile emerged on Long Zhenglin’s face.
“Brother-in-law, we have been saved. As long as Tang Xiu takes action, we can definitely take Walled Hill Village.” Long Zhenglin gripped his fist and waved his arm, then he got into a sports car at the roadside and quickly left.
“What the… Holy shit! He’s Long Zhenglin. Big Brother Fei, its Long Zhenglin! How would Tang Xiu be acquainted with him? Moreover, how could Long Zhenglin keep calling Tang Xiu as Eldest Brother?” In a remote corner, Su Duanxin let out a low scream.
“We should have mistaken him for someone else, right? Long Zhenglin’s status is very high, how could it be that he would play in such a lowly place like the Health and Prosper Club? He’s even very humble to an ordinary person. That youth should be someone that looks like Long Zhenglin and posing as him, ain’t it?” A doubting and puzzled expression covered Tan Liquan’s face as he spoke in an unsure tone.
At this moment, Su Xiangfei clenched his fist tightly; even when his nails pierced his palms, he was unaware that his palm had bled.
Looks could be similar, the name also could be used, but that sports car could never be faked.
Six months ago, Su Xiangfei was quite fortunate as he had to accompany his father to attend Long Zhenglin’s adulthood rite ceremony. Long Zhenglin’s family had prepared a custom-made version of a Rolls-Royce Phantom sports car as his adulthood rite’s gift, with a license plate number that was the combination of Long Zhenglin’s first adventure’s fight and birthday.
Whether it was the customized version of Rolls-Royce Phantom or that exaggerated license plate number or the banquet with a variety of high-class performances. All in all, everything was a feast for all the guests’ eyes who attended the banquet. Especially for each and every boy and girl who were at the same age with Long Zhenglin. They could only feel inferior and look at him with envy and jealousy.
Therefore, even though Su Duanxin and Tan Liquan still doubted whether that youth was really Long Zhenglin, Su Xiangfei was quite certain that the bald youth was Long Zhenglin.
_“How would Tang Xiu know Long Zhenglin? And their relationship also is seemingly not shallow. This is truly troublesome. It will be very difficult to deal with Tang Xiu later.”_ Recalling Long Zhenglin’s proud and arrogant character, and then recalling how Long Zhenglin was sticking to Tang Xiu, Su Xiangfei felt like he was in a dream, and it was also very hard for him to think that it was only the first meeting between Long Zhenglin with Tang Xiu. Moreover, Long Zhenglin was the one who took the initiative to stick and entangle to Tang Xiu.
After leaving the Health and Prosper Club, Tang Xiu didn’t immediately return to school, but rather brushed over his body and went straight to the city’s outskirt.
Due to cultivating the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, Tang Xiu’s body had been reborn and transformed into a whole new state. Even though he didn’t practice any martial and movement skills, his speed far surpassed an ordinary person’s.
Since he had decided to fully practice the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis, Tang Xiu naturally had to be fully prepared.
On the cultivation path, the aspects that must be particularly paid attention to, were nothing more than 4 aspects, “The Methods”, “The Dao Companion”, “The Wealth”, and “The Land”.
The Methods referred to cultivation techniques and methods. Without these aspects, one could only blindly practice and cultivate. The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis was precisely an ancient record of a divine cultivation technique that was fiercely fought by the Immortal World’s giants with bloody efforts and endeavors. Tang Xiu also had countless cultivation techniques and secret manuals in his mind, so he naturally didn’t need to worry about cultivation methods.
The Companion pointed to other cultivators or Dao companions, “The Classic of Rites” mentioned that: “Learning alone without friends will result in ignorance and narrow-mindedness”. The Earth itself was a world with the final law stage, so Tang Xiu was destined to never find any other cultivators or Dao Companions on Earth. However, since Tang Xiu only just started cultivating, he was completely indifferent toward this aspect.
The Wealth meant that it referred to certain financial circumstances because, in the early stages of the cultivation path, the greatest extent of time and mind would be consumed for practicing. Thus, there would not be enough time to make money correspondingly. If one had no underlying cultivation resources, his cultivation path would be very difficult. People from the ancient times had said, “Without wealth, it would be insufficient to bring up anything.”
The Land referred to the place of practice or cultivation place with distinct environments which had harmonious with distinct qi atmosphere that would greatly impact one’s cultivation.
Regarding the Method and Dao Companion, Tang Xiu could exempt these aspects. However, he had no choice but to rack his brain for the Wealth and Land aspect.
In this month, except for a small amount of time for studying, Tang Xiu had been spending most of his time in the library.
Drowning himself in the library naturally was not because Tang Xiu needed to study, but instead tried to find other cultivators’ existence on Earth, while also looking for a suitable place for his cultivation at the same time.
Even though Tang Xiu had nearly read all the books in the library, he still wasn’t able to find any trace of other cultivators, which made him suspect that there were simply no cultivators on Earth
However, he also read and flipped over a lot of books about human culture, history, geography, biography, as well as other books. Of which, had given him a plausible but possible sacred ground spot for cultivation.
The place was not in the main city but was located 70km from the main city’s suburb, which was called Walled Hill Village.
