75: Chapter 75 He Went to Cultivate Immortality

"Mom, you don't understand!" Shen Wangshu said very seriously. "That Miss Xiao only sees Qin Chuan as having utility value. Once he has no more use, he will definitely be kicked away. Everything he possesses now—isn't it just a matter of a single word from her to take it all back?"

At the end, she lifted her chin and added, "That is why, people must improve themselves."

However, no matter what Shen Shihua and Shen Wangshu said, their tone still carried a hint of sourness. After all, that was Yunding Villa, and the current Shen Family had no qualifications to reside there.

Yet Qin Chuan was already able to live there. As for whether it would be taken back, that was a matter for the future.

For the following week, Qin Chuan stayed at Yunding Villa. He had already reached the Peak of the Tongxuan Realm and was only one step away from entering the Divine Sea. However, to break through to the Divine Sea, there was a prerequisite: the Divine Ability, Extreme Lightning, had to be cultivated to its absolute limit.

The Tongxuan Realm focused primarily on cultivating Divine Abilities. Only when a Divine Ability reached the Transcendent state could one attempt to break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

Therefore, he planned to go into a long period of closed-door cultivation. As for school, he did not specifically ask for leave. Since it was just a Business School, as long as he paid the fees, the school wouldn't be too strict.

Another week passed, making it a month and a half that Qin Chuan had stayed in this villa.

Boom! A bolt of purple lightning tore through the air, instantly reducing the rockery outside the villa to powder. Then, like a small snake, the purple lightning turned back into the villa and returned to Qin Chuan's palm.

After half a month of cultivation, Qin Chuan had cultivated Extreme Lightning to its limit; the fact that the lightning had turned purple was the best proof.

This meant that Qin Chuan was now qualified to attempt the breakthrough to the Divine Sea. However, breaking through to the Divine Sea required a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, and even with the Spirit Gathering Array, it was not enough. Therefore, Qin Chuan still needed to make some preparations.

Just at this moment, the phone rang; it was his sister, Qin Lan, calling.

"Brother, when are you coming to the capital?"

"Go to the capital?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment.

"Did you forget? New Year's Day is almost here, and the Qin Family is holding its annual meeting. You said you would come," Qin Lan reminded him.

"Oh, I'll go in the next couple of days." Qin Chuan had been in closed-door cultivation and had forgotten the time.

"Mm, okay. I'll wait for you in the capital. You aren't allowed to not come." Qin Lan was actually just a bit afraid; without her brother by her side, she didn't quite dare to go to the Qin Family.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan let out a breath. He hadn't realized New Year's Day was so close. He stretched his body.

It was now the end of December, and the weather in the south was basically only a few degrees, yet Qin Chuan was wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, as if he were unaffected by the cold at all.

When going out, Qin Chuan still threw on a jacket. Before heading to the capital, he first made a trip to school.

"Damn, Lao Qin, I really feel like your registration was superfluous." Cao Junli's expression was the most exaggerated.

Lin Xian and Wu Xieyu both nodded, indicating their agreement.

In the nearly three months that had passed, Qin Chuan had only been to the classroom once and spent some time in the dormitory; otherwise, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Lao Qin, have you been doing something unspeakable?" Lin Xian asked suspiciously.

"Get lost!" Qin Chuan retorted with annoyance.

Today was not the weekend. Since he had already come, Qin Chuan went to the classroom. As for his classmates, they were quite surprised when they saw Qin Chuan arrive.

Chen Manman waved her hand. "Sit here?"

This drew the envy of many. Chen Manman was the class beauty; although she was not quite on par with Shen Wangshu and Yang Siyi, she was still a little beauty, yet it seemed she was only smitten with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan didn't think too much about it and sat down directly beside Chen Manman.

"Where have you been lately?" Chen Manman asked.

"I went to Cultivate," Qin Chuan smiled.

Chen Manman giggled. "You really are humorous."

See, sometimes when you tell the truth, nobody believes you.

"I'm telling you, Qin Chuan, during the time you were gone, Chen Manman was really missing you," Monitor Li Wenhui teased.

"Monitor, what are you saying!" Chen Manman's pretty face flushed red, and she was a bit shy.

Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly. In fact, there was a reason he didn't come to the classroom: his actual age already exceeded five hundred years. Sitting in the same classroom with a bunch of twenty-something-year-olds, besides being able to experience university life, there was only a thick generation gap.

Because he and they were simply not people from the same world.

Perhaps because they knew that since Qin Chuan had come to the classroom this time, they didn't know when he would come next, Chen Manman and the Monitor dragged Qin Chuan to the cafeteria, staying by his side every step of the way, and even dragged him back to the classroom in the afternoon.

Just like that, Qin Chuan spent the whole day in the classroom. A faint smile hung on his face; actually, experiencing university life wasn't bad.

At least days like these could allow his heart to calm down a little.

Meanwhile. The capital. The Xiao Family. A file was hurriedly delivered into the hands of Patriarch Xiao Wuyan.

"Dad, what is that?" Young Master Xiao Jinxiu asked curiously, mainly because his father seemed to attach great importance to this file.

"This is the file on that Land Immortal from Jinling!" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan said in a deep voice.

"What?!" Young Master Xiao Jinxiu couldn't help but stand up and walk quickly toward his father, wanting to take a good look at who that Land Immortal really was.

However, Patriarch Xiao Wuyan clearly did not give him that opportunity and turned to walk toward the back mountain of the Xiao Family.

"How did the investigation go?" In the back mountain, an aged voice rang out. As the voice faded, the figure of Xiao Jinhe appeared leisurely.

"Father, we have found it." Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's expression was complex. "This is the file on that Land Immortal."

Xiao Jinhe grabbed with his palm, and the file appeared in his hand. Opening it to look, his pupils couldn't help but constrict.

If Qin Chuan were here, he would definitely be surprised, because this file was exactly about him.

As a Martial Arts Family possessing a Land Immortal, the Xiao Family had eyes and ears everywhere. It really wasn't difficult to investigate Qin Chuan through some clues, but even so, it had taken nearly twenty-plus days.

"So young?" Xiao Jinhe frowned.

"Yes, Father, just this young." Patriarch Xiao Wuyan had been greatly shocked when he first saw this file.

This wasn't just young; it was young to an excessive degree.

The file didn't just contain some of Qin Chuan's personal information; it also contained matters regarding what had happened during this period.

Likewise, this wasn't any secret. Although it had been suppressed by Ye Nantian, for the Xiao Family to investigate, it was still that saying: it wasn't difficult.

Xiao Jinhe slightly narrowed his eyes. "Oh, he defeated Elder Yinshan?"
