Chapter 87

Zhang Yumeng and the others almost fled from Villa No. 1 in a rather disheveled manner.

Chen Fan had taken them on a tour of the entire mountain-top mansion. If it were before, Zhang Yumeng would have been eager to take a selfie in every corner and then show off to her girlfriends and best friends.

But now, she felt as if her small face was being slapped, and it swelled up from the slaps.

Only Aunt Tang and Xu Rongfei seemed to be still interested, especially Aunt Tang, who even wanted to stay overnight. She was forcibly dragged away by Jiang Haisan.

As they walked down the mountain path, everyone was silent.

Even Li Yichen, who had been so proud and confident before, felt quite awkward. He and Uncle Jiang had talked about the heroes of Chuzhou at the gate, but in the end, the person living in the city's top luxury villa turned out to be Chen Fan!

After walking for a long time, Zhang Yumeng suddenly muttered:

"Is it because he knows Wei Ziqing, so Wei Ziqing temporarily lent him this villa to live in?"

"Chen Fan might be like a male bodyguard in a TV drama, protecting the young lady of the Wei family?"

Zhang Yumeng's imagination grew wilder as she spoke.

Only Yang Chao nodded in agreement, while the others remained silent.

This was a villa worth nearly 100 million. Even if Wei Ziqing lent it, it indicated that their relationship far exceeded everyone's imagination. Only a boyfriend or fiancé could borrow such an asset, right?

If Chen Fan really married Wei Ziqing, his status would surpass everyone. She was the princess of the Wei family, not just an ordinary official's daughter.

Only Aunt Tang was full of satisfaction, feeling that she hadn't misjudged Chen Fan. This child was indeed honest and didn't lie.

Thinking of this, she gave Jiang Churan a fierce glare.

Her daughter was too stupid. Chen Fan had kept the key in her hand for three months, and she didn't even try to come up once. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such an awkward situation today.

Jiang Churan, however, wasn't thinking about these things at all. Her feelings were the most complex among everyone present.

Surprise, doubt, anger, regret, and joy—all these emotions intertwined in her heart.

She was surprised that Chen Fan had really kept his word and handed her the key to the villa for three months. She was puzzled as to how someone of Chen Fan's status could live in the top luxury villa in Chuzhou. Could he be Master Chen?

Ha, that's a joke!

As for her anger, it was directed at Chen Fan for hiding his identity from her.

'If you had been a bit more determined, I would have gone with you. Why do you always act so indifferent and annoying?'

Jiang Churan was furious, but she couldn't hide her regret.

Then she looked at Li Yichen beside her.

He was still as excellent as ever, and she had always admired him. With her father's encouragement and his sincerity, it was natural to gradually accept him. But why did Chen Fan have to be there too?

'That guy always acts so arrogantly, as if he looks down on everyone. He disappears for ten days or months at a time. In terms of appearance, family background, and ability, he doesn't match up to Li Yichen... but why...?'

'He had disappeared for three months, and I had almost forgotten about him, but now he's back!'

The cold girl's heart was filled with worry.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Churan was a rational person.

So, from a rational perspective, in her previous life, she chose Li Yichen, who was excellent but not necessarily someone she loved. In this life, she made decisions based on reason, but deep down, a voice always told her that if she didn't choose Chen Fan, she would live in regret for the rest of her life.

Regardless of the others, Xu Rongfei was full of joy. She was increasingly convinced that what Xu Ao said about 'Chen Fan not being an ordinary person' was true.

...

After everyone left, Chen Fan began to set up the Spirit Attraction Array.

Of course, before that, he sent Aunt Liu home and instructed her not to come to clean the villa for a while.

"I brought back all the Yin Yuan Crystals from the Yin Dragon Pool, right?"

In front of Chen Fan was a black leather suitcase filled with grayish-black stones. These stones looked ordinary on the outside, but inside, they seemed to have white mist swirling, and they were extremely cold to the touch, like holding a block of ice.

"Yin Crystal Stones are the most common type of Yin-attribute spirit stones. They can be used to set up a Mist Array and can replace water-attribute spirit stones to temporarily serve as the base of a Spirit Attraction Array."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

He first activated the Yunshan Array and found that the density of spiritual energy here was indeed much lower than in the Yin Dragon Pool. When he cultivated in the Yin Dragon Pool, the Yin energy was so strong that it could form mist and clouds. If not for the fear of his body being invaded by Yin energy, he would have stayed there to cultivate until he reached the Tongxuan stage before coming out.

"The Void Body Cultivation Technique is said to be able to refine all things, but is it really that simple?"

Chen Fan shook his head and sighed.

No matter what, this technique was ultimately only a Foundation Establishment level cultivation method. Although it could temporarily absorb Yin energy, demonic energy, killing energy, and blood energy, prolonged cultivation would inevitably lead to infection by these energies. Only spiritual energy was the most neutral and harmonious, suitable for any cultivator to freely use.

"The reason the Great Dao Sect didn't reach the peak of the cultivation world was also related to the impurity of their cultivation methods. Unifying all methods into one is no easy task."

Thinking of this, Chen Fan decided to set up the Spirit Attraction Array.

Compared to the first time, this was much easier.

He only needed to embed a Yin Crystal Stone into each deep-sea stone at the array points and input the array pattern and talisman. The work was completed in less than two hours.

As the Spirit Attraction Array was activated, a spiritual energy ten times more powerful than before rushed through the array eye.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Instantly, the Spirit Gathering Array's effect reached its maximum. The five jade plates floated in the air, emitting a hazy white light, forming a light curtain that enveloped the entire villa.

In the villa, white mist began to condense in the air, visible to the naked eye.

These white mists eventually formed clouds.

Chen Fan felt as if he were in a misty palace of immortals. With each breath, he inhaled spiritual energy several times purer than before, and both his jade bones and silver blood rejoiced.

Chen Fan's body was already transforming into a spirit body, so he preferred to stay in places with high spiritual energy density. In the modern world with low spiritual energy, it was like a amphibian on land, and staying too long would be uncomfortable.

"That's why cultivators don't like to enter the mundane world, because in their eyes, the mundane world is no different from a barren desert."

Chen Fan shook his head slightly.

Even in the depths of space, human cultivators and ordinary people's societies would maintain a distance, as cultivators and ordinary people were already at different levels of life, and their requirements for living environments were much higher.

Cultivation itself is a journey to a higher level of life.

He slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

After a night passed, when the sun came up, Chen Fan opened his eyes.

His divine sense detected a group of familiar guests at the door, namely Wei Laosan and Zhou Tianhao.

He shook his head slightly, then manipulated the spell, opening the front door from three floors up.

"Come in."

Seeing the door open by itself and hearing a voice mysteriously echoing in their minds, Wei Laosan and the others were stunned.

Zhou Tianhao said hoarsely:

"Lord Wei, did you hear a voice?"

"You heard it too? It seems familiar, but how could it appear in our minds?" Wei Laosan looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Everyone looked at each other, none daring to enter.

Wei Laosan had received Aunt Liu's message last night and had enthusiastically gathered everyone to visit Master Chen today. But encountering this situation before even entering the door made them feel a chill.

"It's me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come to the third floor to see me."

Chen Fan's divine sense appeared in their minds again.

"It's... it's Master Chen?" Ah Biao swallowed hard, his throat twitching.

"Master Chen has already reached the realm of 'mind-to-mind transmission'? This is a skill only seen in myths, possessed by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." Wei Laosan was incredulous.

Everyone cautiously entered the villa, immediately feeling as if they had entered an oasis from a desert.

Their entire bodies relaxed, as if soaking in warm water, and the hunger, cold, and fatigue from getting up early to visit were instantly gone.

"Master Chen's array is much stronger than my magical artifact." Wei Laosan was full of envy and jealousy.

Zhou Tianhao and the others were even more envious, their eyes red.

"At least you have a magical artifact; we've never even seen one!"

"Damn, if I could live in this villa, I could live to be over a hundred years old." Ah Biao felt a coolness in some of his old injuries and thought to himself.

Everyone walked up to the third-floor terrace and saw Chen Fan sitting cross-legged on the steps, facing Yan Gui Lake and the entire city of Chuzhou. The rays of the rising sun shone on him, enveloping him in a golden glow, making him seem like a deity.

"Master Chen!" Wei Laosan and the others bowed respectfully.
