"Act immediately! Arrange Grandmaster Chen's transportation to the airport. We will handle everything perfectly; your satisfaction is our greatest reward!" Ro Mon commanded loudly.
A car was promptly driven over. Chen Zheng didn't refuse and casually got in.
...
As night fell, Chen Zheng returned to the embrace of the magical world.
"Chen Zheng!"
Just as he stepped out of the airport, a figure flew into his arms like a swallow.
Who else but Li Yitong could be so enthusiastic?
Before boarding the plane in Foshan, Chen Zheng had called Li Yitong.
"Hehe... Let's go! We're off to get some great food," Chen Zheng said tenderly, gently stroking Li Yitong's head.
"Okay! I'll take you somewhere delicious," Li Yitong replied, releasing Chen Zheng with a smile. She happily linked her arm with his as they got into the car.
"Chen Zheng, what on earth happened today? Why did you..."
In the car, Li Yitong finally couldn't help but voice the questions weighing on her mind. Even racking her brains, she couldn't fathom how Chen Zheng had suddenly appeared, only to vanish without a trace just as quickly.
"Well... it's a bit complicated. Let's talk about it later," Chen Zheng responded evasively.
The Fixed Teleportation Card was simply too incredible. Besides the System, it was unlikely anyone else could master it. It was like something out of a fantasy novel—an expert with spatial powers, effortlessly teleporting between two locations.
Li Yitong rolled her eyes. "Fine, we don't have to talk about it. I just want to know... are you really a god?"
"Yes. I am the valiant, handsome god who shouts himself hoarse for victory!" Chen Zheng's words burned with passion, and his gaze was unwavering.
"Hmph!" Li Yitong huffed, her eyes twinkling with a mix of emotions. She decided not to press the issue, knowing that this was the best possible outcome.
Li Yitong leaned gently against Chen Zheng, her thoughts churning like waves in the sea. For a moment there, she had thought she might never see him again. But just as she was about to give up all hope, Chen Zheng had appeared. He was like a deity descending from the heavens, materializing by her side to pull her back from the brink of death. In that moment, Li Yitong felt she was the happiest person in the world.
Two hours later, after they had dinner, they arrived at the garden villa. To Chen Zheng's surprise, Li Yitong got out of the car with him.
"Aren't you heading home?" he asked, puzzled.
Li Yitong's face instantly turned bright red. She shot him a reproachful look. "Can't I stay with you?"
"Of course, of course!" Chen Zheng's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, his eyes twinkling like stars.
Li Yitong's face grew even redder, and she shyly lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Chen Zheng burst into a hearty laugh. He gently pushed open the door, and the two of them stepped into the villa.
The air that night was thick with romance.
...
The next morning, Chen Zheng slowly opened his eyes to find Li Yitong gazing at him with her big, bright eyes.
"One more time?"
"No more, I can't!"
"Come on. Just once more!"
...
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the two finally left the villa, getting into a luxurious sedan sent by the Li Family to pick them up.
「The Li Family Estate.」
Li Cangyun and the others were already waiting at the main gate, their faces beaming with anticipation.
"Grandmaster Chen!"
As soon as Chen Zheng and Li Yitong got out of the car, Li Cangyun, Liu Daoyi, and the others immediately bowed in greeting.
"Let's go inside. There's something I need to discuss with you all," Chen Zheng said with a gentle wave of his hand, leading the way while holding Li Yitong's hand.
Li Cangyun and the others followed at once.
Inside the magnificent main hall, Chen Zheng sat on the main seat, his gaze as sharp as a torch, striking awe into everyone present. The others stood frozen, their hearts trembling and their gazes uncertain.
"Grandmaster Chen, about yesterday..." Li Cangyun began, attempting to break the silence.
"There's no need to mention it. It's in the past," Chen Zheng's words cut him off like a sharp sword.
"Yes, Grandmaster Chen." Li Cangyun immediately fell silent, his expression full of reverence.
Then, Chen Zheng's voice echoed through the hall. "Li Cangyun, Li Chen, Liu Daoyi, Liu Feng!"
"Present!" the four men responded, their combined voices shaking the entire hall.
"Yi Tong," Chen Zheng called, his gaze locked on her.
Li Yitong nodded slightly and walked toward the four men. In her hand, she held a jade bottle that glittered like an emerald.
"Dad, Brother, Uncle Liu," she said, her voice as clear as spring water. "These are Primordial Elixirs, miraculous Spirit Pills that can help you break through to a new realm." She gently tipped four of the pills into their open palms.
"A new realm?" The four men were stunned. Their gazes fell upon the milky-white pills, as if they were staring into an unknown world.
They had taken Primordial Elixirs before—the Lesser Primordial Elixirs Chen Zheng had given them. Although their effects were limited, they had still provided a precious opportunity for a breakthrough. However, the elixirs they now held were on a completely different level, promising far greater strength and possibilities.
For a cultivator, the importance of one's origin essence and qi-blood could not be overstated; they were the very foundation of cultivation. Stronger essence and qi-blood meant faster progress.
"Don't worry. Why would Chen Zheng ever harm you?" Li Yitong urged.
Though they had some reservations, the four men didn't hesitate and immediately swallowed the pills. In an instant, the elixirs melted in their mouths like sweet dew, leaving all four of them stunned.
The next second, their faces turned deathly pale. They felt as if a blazing fire had been ignited within their bodies. The sensation was beyond incredible.
"Outside!" Li Cangyun's sudden shout was like a thunderclap, and the four men immediately dashed out of the hall. Once in the courtyard, they began practicing their family's unique martial arts forms to channel the new energy.
Chen Zheng and Li Yitong followed them out.
Chen Zheng's gaze settled on Li Cangyun and Liu Daoyi. With his level of power, he could easily see that their cultivation realms were advancing at a phenomenal rate, as if they were leaping across the great chasm that had held them back for so long.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Li Cangyun. He had broken through.
"Hahaha... So this is the Grandmaster Realm!" Li Cangyun's laughter was filled with endless joy and pride.
"Brother Li, look at me! I made it too, hahaha!" Liu Daoyi's own laughter filled the air with glee.
Immediately after, another immense Grandmaster aura surged forth like a tidal wave.
"I... I've grasped Hidden Strength!" Li Chen's laughter was filled with a sense of accomplishment. His cultivation burned like a fierce fire as his Hidden Strength surged like an endless spring. In what felt like a blink of an eye, his power soared to the late stage of Hidden Strength, a world apart from his former self.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng, who had been an Inner Strength expert, now stood at the very peak of that level, just one step away from the Grandmaster Realm.
"Truly miraculous," Chen Zheng remarked in amazement.
