Chapter 75

"Since I have already come out of seclusion, can I go to see Mr. Chen now?"

Jiang Shao had just struggled out of his dizziness and dizziness when he hurriedly said.

"No, Master Chen might still need to consolidate his realm. He refuses to see visitors during cultivation!" Axiu coldly refused with a stern face.

"Ah?" Jiang Shao was speechless.

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the three people:

"Let him come to see me."

"Yes, Master Chen." Axiu and Master Wu bowed slightly towards the valley.

Jiang Shao, however, was stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning. He stammered, "J-just now, that voice, h-how could it appear in my mind?"

"You really make a fuss over nothing. This is Master Chen's mental transmission." Axiu rolled her eyes, finding it amusing.

When she first discovered Master Chen's voice in her mind, she was also startled. Later, she learned that after Master Chen condensed his mental energy, he could directly project it into others' minds.

According to Master Wu, among the six supernatural abilities of Buddhism, there is one called 'Mind Reading.'

It allows communication with others, heart to heart, and knowing what others are thinking.

Although Master Chen's mental transmission does not have the ability to read minds, it is almost like 'Mind Reading.'

"This is a supernatural ability. It is said that those who master supernatural abilities in Buddhism are all enlightened beings. Master Chen is probably not far from being a Buddha or Bodhisattva." Axiu was filled with admiration.

The more familiar she became with Master Chen, the more she felt her own insignificance.

Jiang Shao barely suppressed his shock and followed Axiu and Master Wu into the valley.

He saw that Chen Fan was still sitting cross-legged on the green stone, but this time, the impression he gave Jiang Shao was different from their last meeting.

In Jiang Shao's eyes, Chen Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes lowered, seemingly asleep but not quite. His skin was crystal clear, like ice and jade, and through his skin, one could see his bones, which were like white marble, and the blood in his veins, which shimmered with silver light.

Ice-like skin, jade-like bones, and silver blood.

It was as if he were a deity from a movie or TV show.

"Is... is this still a human?" Jiang Shao lowered his head, trying to hide his shock.

As they got closer to Chen Fan, a heavy aura pressed down on Jiang Shao's heart, making him feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, as if a storm were about to come.

The three people stopped, and they heard Chen Fan's voice directly in their minds:

"Why have you come to see me?"

Jiang Shao shuddered, barely accepting this way of communication. He raised his head and forced a smile, saying, "Mr. Chen, after my father heard about your slaying of the monster snake, he wants to meet you."

"Mayor Jiang?" Chen Fan opened his eyes slightly at this point.

"He is a government official, and I am a cultivator. It's better not to meet."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Axiu and the others were about to see the guest off, but Jiang Shao became very anxious: "Hey, don't! I came all the way from afar. Mr. Chen, please consider my sincerity. Can you reconsider?"

"Hmm, didn't you come by helicopter?" Chen Fan looked at him with a half-smile.

Although he was in seclusion, Chen Fan's senses were extremely sharp, enhanced by his mental energy. He had already sensed a high-speed flying object hovering in the forest outside Yinlong Pond. However, Master Wu and Axiu were busy cultivating and did not notice.

Jiang Shao was embarrassed and could only give an awkward laugh, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

"Alright, I will go and see him." Chen Fan stood up.

He had been in seclusion for a month, finally breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, and also completing the third level of the 'Void Body Cultivation Technique,' the 'Silver Blood' realm. From then on, his blood was like silver mercury, greatly enhancing his vitality, and his physical body became closer to the elemental energy of heaven and earth, subtly drawing in the flow of elemental energy with every movement.

Moreover, after achieving this great success, Chen Fan felt a desire to move.

Besides, the mayor's invitation was a bit troublesome.

He naturally did not care about a mere mayor of Dongdu, but if the other party used the power of the state, even Chen Fan would have to be cautious. If he wanted to continue cultivating in Yinlong Pond, he could not avoid the issue of Dongdu, as he was on their territory.

However, Chen Fan was not afraid of him. After reaching the late Foundation Establishment stage, ordinary police could not do anything to him without the use of the military.

"If I could reach the Mystic Realm, I would have fewer concerns in my actions." Chen Fan sighed inwardly.

After reaching the Mystic Realm, one would possess supernatural abilities, basically ignoring ordinary firearms. Only heavy weapons like tanks, missiles, artillery, and aircraft could harm him.

"Really?" Jiang Shao was overjoyed and asked repeatedly, "When?"

"Right now."

Chen Fan stepped down from the boulder, each step leaving a footprint in the air, as if there were invisible steps. Seeing Chen Fan walk on air again after a month, Jiang Shao's respect and awe grew even more.

If a month ago, Chen Fan's slaying of the dragon only made him fearful, now facing Chen Fan, Jiang Shao felt a sense of reverence.

Such an existence, could he not be a deity? Do you believe it?

Axiu also looked envious beside him.

According to Master Chen, this 'Heavenly Step' is the fifth move of the True Wu Thirty-Six Forms, and the 'Mountain River Sever' used to slay the dragon is the seventh move. If she could reach the Grandmaster level in martial arts, he would teach her the first seven moves.

But Axiu was only at the initial stage of Inner Strength, and she had barely entered the first move, 'Heavenly Hammer,' with the Grandmaster level still far away.

When they left the valley of Yinlong Pond, they indeed found an eight-seater helicopter parked in a clearing in the forest. This helicopter was originally bought by the Dongdu municipal government for tourist sightseeing but was requisitioned by Jiang Shao.

By helicopter, the two-day mountain journey took only a few hours.

When they left the mountains, it was already getting dark, so they stayed overnight in Qishan County. This time, County Chief Liang did not show up, but a vice-county chief did, who was said to be an early secretary of Jiang Shao's father, now serving in Qishan County.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Chen Fan and the others took Jiang Shao's Toyota SUV to Dongdu City.

Chen Fan sat in the back seat and said calmly, "Now that we're here, can you tell me why your father wants to see me?"

"He is a great mayor with many responsibilities. Why would he think of seeing me?"

Jiang Shao gave an awkward laugh.

This time, it was not Mayor Jiang who wanted to see Chen Fan, but the result of Jiang Shao's desperate pleading. After his humiliating escape from Yinlong Pond a month ago, Jiang Shao had completely lost his interest in pursuing women and even harbored some resentment towards Zheng Anqi.

'What nonsense about building a mineral water plant to find a water source? The Zheng family is here for treasure hunting and exploration! And they even brought out a monster!'

When had Jiang Shao ever faced such a life-threatening situation? How could he not hate them? However, the Zheng family was wealthy and powerful, and he could not do anything to Zheng Anqi, so he kept delaying her request to use government power against Chen Fan.

But after calming down, Jiang Shao saw this as an opportunity.

Chen Fan did not seem like someone who would kill at the slightest provocation. In the end, he even let them leave, showing that he was someone who could be reasoned with. Later, when he learned through channels that the Yin Ghost Sect had all joined Chen Fan, his resolve grew stronger.

"I have lived for over twenty years, and only now do I understand what this world is like.

'Before, I was truly living in vain!'

Mu Hongsheng's ability to command spirits, Mr. Shi's astonishing magic, the overwhelming power of the Yin Snake, and Chen Fan's heavenly step and dragon slaying!

These were things he had never heard of in his twenty years as a young master.

His previous activities like bar-hopping, flirting with girls, dog fighting, bird keeping, car racing, and gambling seemed pale and insignificant in the face of the vast and mysterious world of magic.

Jiang Shao had long wanted to find Chen Fan. Even if he could not become his disciple, at least following such a god-like figure would bring him some benefits. At this time, a major event occurred in Dongdu, and his father was in a bind. Jiang Shao recommended Chen Fan to his father.

How could Mayor Jiang believe his nonsense? But after Jiang Shao's persistent pleading, he finally sent a helicopter.

Jiang Shao, unusually serious, said:

"Mr. Chen, my father is currently facing a difficult situation. He has consulted many experts, but to no avail."

"Now, with no other options, he has even sought help from many Taoist priests, monks, and even feng shui masters from the south. I thought, why go far when the solution is near? Mr. Chen is right here in Dongdu, and you possess great supernatural abilities and powers. So I specially came to ask you to come out of seclusion and save my father and the millions of citizens of Dongdu."

"Oh? What is it? Something that involves millions of citizens in Dongdu?"

Chen Fan was quite surprised and looked at the young master for the first time with a serious expression.
