Soon to Gain Cultivation

Chen Ping'an was as excited as a child.

Five years had passed.

A full five years.

During these five years, he watched cultivators soaring to and fro, and he couldn't help but envy them deeply.

This ordinary life was indeed comfortable.

However, having crossed over and possessing a system, it was simply excessive not to allow him to cultivate.

At least let him experience the feeling of having cultivation!

"System, can you trigger the next task in advance?" Chen Ping'an rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

He felt today was a great day.

[The host thinks too much. The tasks still need to be triggered by you.]

Chen Ping'an: "..."

This was what annoyed him the most.

Sometimes the tasks could trigger consecutively.

But if his luck was bad, a few months might pass before the next one appeared.

However, he felt his recent luck had been decent.

It should only be a matter of days before he could trigger the next one.

Chen Ping'an chuckled to himself, in high spirits.

"Little Ling, let's go, Big Brother will splurge today and go grocery shopping!" Chen Ping'an laughed.

At this moment, Su Ling was alone playing stone skipping at the foot of the peach tree.

Hearing Chen Ping'an's words, her eyes shone brightly.

But she said in a crisp tone: "Big Brother, I won't go. I'm playing stone skipping."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance towards the strawberries and pineapples.

She had been waiting all morning for Chen Ping'an to go out!

Such an opportunity to be alone, how could she not seize it?

She was so miserable last night.

She thought Chen Ping'an had fallen asleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, Chen Ping'an woke up and caught her...

Her bottom was still a little sore...

Chen Ping'an also knew Su Ling's thoughts, so he said: "If you don't want to go, that's fine. But I've memorized the number of pineapples, strawberries, and watermelons. If one is missing, hmph..."

After speaking, Chen Ping'an walked out leisurely.

Hearing Chen Ping'an's words, Su Ling's face paled. Then she pouted, looking aggrieved.

As Chen Ping'an walked outside, three people suddenly appeared at his doorstep.

They were Mu Rong Gong, Huang Zhengqian, and Chen Yanming.

Bai Gufeng did not accompany them.

His thinking was very simple.

If it were any other matter, he would definitely come to witness the senior's demeanor.

However, the reason Huang Zhengqian and Chen Yanming wanted to see the senior was to apologize for their mistakes.

If the senior did not forgive them and became enraged instead, it was very likely that anger might inadvertently be directed at him for accompanying them.

At that time, he would have no tears left to cry.

After the three appeared, Huang Zhengqian looked at the courtyard before him with some disbelief.

The senior lived here?

Moreover...

He sensed it, this town was an ordinary mortal town.

"Let's wait here for a while and see if the senior has any instructions. Also, do you remember the precautions I mentioned earlier?" Mu Rong Gong spoke after appearing.

Huang Zhengqian nodded.

This senior was a remarkable figure who would casually claim to be an ordinary mortal and downplay his own abilities.

That was common; there was no need to be surprised.

They just needed to address him as senior.

And so, the three began to wait.

However...

At the very next moment, the door suddenly opened wide.

A handsome and graceful young man appeared before Huang Zhengqian's eyes.

Upon seeing him, Huang Zhengqian's eyes abruptly widened by a full size.

This...!

Chen Yanming also reacted similarly.

Upon seeing Chen Ping'an, his face was occupied by shock, and his body even trembled.

The young man before them appeared very youthful.

Yet...

The moment he appeared, the entire world was filled with the rhythms and harmonies of the Dao.

And there was even the sound of the Great Dao ringing in their ears!

Was this the legendary Great Dao's embodiment?!

After opening the door, Chen Ping'an was slightly taken aback by the three standing at the doorstep, led by Mu Rong Gong.

"Elder Gong, I was just thinking of you, and you've come! Haha, you're even more impressive than Cao Cao!"

Seeing Mu Rong Gong, a smile appeared on Chen Ping'an's face.

Mu Rong Gong had indeed helped him greatly.

He must treat them to a good meal.

As Mu Rong Gong and the others had just arrived, they saw Chen Ping'an walk out the door, and reverence filled their faces.

Mu Rong Gong smiled and nodded.

As for Huang Zhengqian and Chen Yanming, they had recovered from Chen Ping'an's terrifying aura.

They hurriedly bowed with their heads lower than their hands, extremely respectful.

"Greetings, Senior!"

It was only then that Chen Ping'an looked towards the two of them.

Seeing them accompanying Mu Rong Gong, they must be acquainted with him, perhaps even good friends.

As for their reverent bows, he thought it might be that visual bug again, triggered for different people, taking effect.

So he prepared to tell them not to be so courteous.

However, in the next moment, one of them suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Senior, I sincerely apologize, I know I was wrong!" Chen Yanming quickly knelt and kowtowed vigorously.

Huang Zhengqian also knelt on one knee, pleading: "Senior, please forgive us!"

The smile on Chen Ping'an's face instantly froze at that moment.

What...

What are you doing?!

What did you do that wronged me?

But I don't even know you!

At this point, Mu Rong Gong also spoke: "Senior, they have realized their mistake. However, thanks to them, we should have enough recruits for one thousand disciples."

Earlier, Mu Rong Gong had noticed that due to Huang Zhengqian and the other's arrival and apology, they had attracted many people's attention.

As a result, some young people who were still hesitating about joining their sect had started lining up.

So he took this opportunity to help Huang Zhengqian and the other a little.

After all, establishing a good relationship with Chen Zhonghua would be beneficial.

Moreover, this incident was not that serious; they had not caused any losses, so endlessly reprimanding them would appear petty.

Hearing these words, Chen Ping'an instantly understood.

"It seems these two caused some trouble during the sect's recruitment of disciples. Now, with their apology like this, they realize their mistake and have come to apologize."

After understanding, Chen Ping'an also let Mu Rong Gong speak on his behalf since the task was now complete. He then used his visual bug to put on an act of authority.

"Ahem, very well, I shall forgive you both."

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands behind his back and spoke out.

At this moment, he did have the appearance of a remarkable figure...

Hearing these words, Huang Zhengqian and Chen Yanming's suspended hearts finally settled.

Then, the two quickly expressed their gratitude.

At this moment, they were extremely grateful and also looked at Mu Rong Gong with eyes full of appreciation.

They knew that the senior's forgiveness was largely due to Mu Rong Gong.

Initially, they did not know how formidable this senior truly was.

After witnessing the senior's foreknowledge of their arrival, his appearance at the doorstep, and his terrifying aura, they had drastically revised their perception of this senior.

It was no longer just awe-inspiring.

It was horrifying!

Such a powerful figure.

Just as the Celestial Emperor had said, he must be preparing for the next shocking move in the mortal realm!
