1143 To Turn a Blind Eye (2/2)
Duanmu Lin realized that the woman who was called ”Yan'er” was not the only expert under Tang Xiu. The revelation sent a great shock to him yet again. But then, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, ”You mean… they are… they all have ascended and become immortals?”
”Ascended and become immortals?”
A disdainful look flashed across Tang Xiu's eyes as he replied indifferently, ”There are things you need not ask, Senior Duanmu. The only reason I'm telling you some bits today is mainly to make you feel convenient and be accommodating to us in China in the future, while at the same time, turning a blind eye.”
Duanmu Lin turned thoughtful for a while and then asked slowly, ”Has it already started?”
”Almost,” answered Tang Xiu.
”Why telling me since you almost have it up and running, then?” Duanmu Lin forced a wry smile. ”You're on control over the scale of your own intelligence network. But don't let me catch any trace of it. You won't get away with it, otherwise.”
”You won't find anything so long as you don't proactively seek it,” said Tang Xiu smilingly. ”Also, I've prepared a present in order to thank you, Senior Duanmu. I hope you can accept it.”
Having said that, a cultivation ancient manual suddenly appeared in Tang Xiu's hands. After handing it to Duanmu Lin, he smiled and said, ”You may be an ability user, but there's no rule that says ability users can't practice an ancient manual of cultivation and become cultivators. As long as you can control two kinds of energy in your system, you may be able to achieve something in the future.”
'A manual for cultivation?'
Duanmu Lin looked shocked as he didn't expect that Tang Xiu would be so generous and give him a cultivation manual. One must know that such a thing was extremely precious, and you could expect great uproar once it fell into others' hands, where you could expect bloody storms and terrors to follow afterward.
”The Nascent Soul Stage? The highest level that can be practiced is up to the Nascent Soul Stage?”
Duanmu Lin's hands slightly trembled. His eyes shifted to Tang Xiu with a complicated expression.
”Is this… a bribe?”
”You can say it so,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.
Duanmu Lin drew a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face. Then, he snappily said, ”Hurry up and get out of here, brat! If you wanna make money from that Aeroglider, just hurry up in your research and develop its second generation.”
”Copy that.”
Tang Xiu faintly smiled and his figure disappeared from the room.
There was only Duanmu Lin left in the empty room. He reopened the cultivation manual and read it for more than half an hour before closing it again with nearly uncontrollable surprise and ecstasy.
Gradually after, his expression turned a bit strange. He had tried to circulate the energy in his body according to the circulation route from this cultivation art. He found that he could easily complete the full circulation for the Qi Refining Stage. Much to his surprise, when he started to circulate it according to the cultivation route at the Foundation Establishment Stage, the energy contained in his body broke through to the late-stage of Foundation Establishment Stage without difficulty.
”This power… I'm at least ten times stronger than before.”
Duanmu Lin clenched his fists while sensing the surging power in his body that made him want to scream aloud. But after a while, he finally suppressed the urge as a thought finally bred in his mind: If each ability can cultivate this easily after getting a cultivation art, then all the ability users in the agency can greatly increase their power and subsequently drastically increase the strength of the state's Special Abilities Bureau at that time.
With the birth of this thought, Duanmu Lin couldn't sit still. He rushed out of the room and shouted, ”Notify all the senior levels of the agency. Except those in charge of the operation in the Himalayas, all of them are to return to the headquarters in the capital!”
Outside the Blue Starfish Mansion.
Li Yuquan finally felt relieved after he jumped off the boat with Tang Xiu and back to the bank. He felt like he had survived a great tribulation, so he felt very grateful to Tang Xiu.
”Thanks a lot, Boss,” said Li Yuquan in a low voice behind Tang Xiu.
”The price I paid to preserve your life was quite great, you know,” replied Tang Xiu without turning back. ”You should know what you must do, I presume.”
”My life is yours from now on. I'll immediately carry out any orders you give me,” said Li Yuquan respectfully.
Tang Xiu nodded in response. ”You know, you have a good son. I'll take him out of the greenhouse and someone will take him away soon.”
Li Yuquan's face changed and hastily asked, ”But Boss, this is…”
”You can refuse, of course,” said Tang Xiu lightly. ”But the consequence of your rejection will make it so that your son will be only an ordinary person for the rest of his life. You must let him go if you want him to transform into a dragon.”
