The beautiful sunshine bestowed its brightness on the Earth amid the blooming beautiful purple and red flowers, adorning the villas and courtyard in a beautiful and picturesque scene. Tang Xiu was calmly sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard while holding a book, yet he didn’t have any thoughts to read it. He just received sudden news that made him put his plan leaving for Thailand on hold temporarily.
“We can only wait more time, Mr. Tang,” said Singluen with a helpless expression, though with a bit of regret in his eyes while he sat across Tang Xiu.
Tang Xiu nodded without a word and didn’t speak for a long while. Then, he remarked, “Well, since your Big Brother is in Europe for some time, we’ll talk about it again later then! Just keep an eye on the situation over there. Once you get a message that he has returned to Thailand, do inform me immediately.”
“You can rest assured about that. I’ll send some people to keep an eye on him,” said Singluen. “Also, about our deal…”
“I’ll wait for you in Shanghai three days from now,” said Tang Xiu. “As long as you bring me a batch of Sorcerer Stones, I’ll give you the medicinal pill. Singluen, we did have some conflicts before, but I shall let bygones be bygones and I hope you also do the same.I really hope that we can become friends and not enemies in the future.”
“I understand, Mr. Tang,” said Singluen solemnly, “Although there’s a mutually beneficial relationship between us, I dare not provoke you and I can’t afford to. I also know that it’s better to be friends with powerhouses rather than becoming their enemies, to begin with. I’ll also never do anything unfair to you in my life as long as you don’t harm me either.”
“I’ll hold onto your words. You can go,” said Tang Xiu with satisfaction.
Singluen didn’t stay any longer and left under Tang Xiu’s watchful gaze. He knew that he had encountered a huge opportunity due to the jade rat. He wanted to seize it and thus, he must hurry to go back to figure out the whereabouts of his brother and try his best to help Tang Xiu get the jade pig.
The zodiac jade carvings may bring about good effects for him, yet the gap between it with the miraculous elixir was like a chasm. He wanted to get a lot of medicinal pills. He wanted to be a genuine powerhouse, and hoped that he could use that miraculous elixir to cultivate a large number of experts. At least, they must be at the level of Tang Xiu’s men who had powerfully crushed even the renowned Zhang Family in Macao and frightened them.

Inside the compound, Tang Xiu was watching Chen Anhu who was now cultivating in accordance to the cultivation route he had taught him. While looking at him, however, he secretly sighed inwardly. As a matter of fact, he had actually helped Chen Anhu to embark on the path of cultivation, yet the path to immortality was fraught with dangers. One might even lose their souls and be consigned to eternal damnation once they failed.
As for the present… he had imparted cultivation technique to his parents, as well as several core members of the Tang Family. Even then, he didn’t have much hope for these people either. After all, cultivating on the path to immortality was not something that could be achieved overnight. Whether they could have great accomplishments, or whether they could ascend to the Immortal World in the future, everyone could only rely on themselves alone.
“Are you thinking about something, Xiu’er?”
Tang Yunde, who came inside from the outside, accidentally found himself walking in front of his son. He hadn’t even noticed it.
Tang Xiu came back to his senses and smilingly said, “Yeah, I’ve been in thought about something, Dad. Anyway, what’s up? Are you busy with something?”
“Sure. I do have something to be busy with,” said Tang Yunde with a chuckle. “I just looked at the financial statements of the company in Macao and kinda learned about some business of the company here. In fact, it’s your Uncle Chen who’s the real busy man. That reminds me, though. What’s up with him now? He also wants to follow your path and cultivate now?”
“Uncle Chen is no longer suitable to walk on the cultivation path, Dad,” said Tang Xiu. “At least not for now. I did teach him some physical exercises to keep his body healthy and to prolong his lifespan, giving him the taste of cultivation first.”
“Everyone wishes to obtain the fate of becoming immortal, yet how would such a path be easy to traverse? Otherwise, there would be tons of cultivators in this world, so not as scarce as it is now. That’s right, have you dealt with your business here in Macao? What’s your next plan, continue on to Thailand?”
“Nah, Singluen just told me that his brother just left for Europe, so I won’t set off to Thailand for the time being” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “I’m planning to go back to the mainland tomorrow to deal with some important issues.”
Tang Yunde produced a wry smile, “I really felt that I’ve become more and more useless when compared to you, son. But you’re still young, so don’t work too hard. Money has no bounds and struggle is a never-ending phenomenon. As for your cultivation, you should also relax a bit and slowly progress forward. I just wanna say that you also need a good rest, to have a love life, and enjoy your time. Besides, your mother is looking forward to holding her grandchildren.”
“Ugh, I’m only 21 now, Dad, so there’s no rush about that,” said Tang Xiu. “Besides, being young means that I am full of energy to work hard and struggle more! My path is already fated and I’m already destined to be very different from others. I will fall into difficulties in the future if I’m not working hard now.”
Tang Yunde fell into silence for a while. Then he seriously asked, “Xiu’er, can you tell me what your ultimate dream is? I always watch you struggle and go all out; what is it for?”
Tang Xiu stood up and pointed to the vast expanse of the sky, “The goal of the first phase is to break the shackles of the sky above my head and ascend to a higher plane. As for the future, I’ll become an eagle that flies in the sky or a fish that traverses the bottom of the ocean—one who struggles to compete with myriads of others to break free from the frozen sky—one who upsets the lonely corridor that presides over mother earth and becomes a sovereign who oversees the ups and downs in life.”
“You…”
Tang Yunde stared at him with a dull face. He opened his mouth, yet swallowed back all the words he was about to say. His son’s remarks made him realize that his son’s ambitions and heart were so big that he dared not imagine them.
Tang Xiu produced a faint smile and looked at Tang Yunde. Then, he suddenly said, “Father, I just changed my mind. I’m going back to the mainland now and won’t waste my time here. I’ll make a trip back right away. Ah, that’s right, when will you go back?”
“I’m going to stay here for a while. I’ll be going back after settling all the issues with the ports,” answered Tang Yunde.
Tang Xiu nodded at his answer and shouted in a deep voice, “Gu Tao, Zhang Jue! You both will protect my father’s safety for some time. I’ll arrange some others to take over your duty once I get back.”
