Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 652 Stay True to the Original Aspiration

Chapter 652 Stay True to the Original Aspiration

Originally, Gao Ge wanted to go to Shan City directly. After all, according to Yue Tuzhi, Shan City stands a better chance, but before he comes here, he has got the information from Tang Jiusi. It is said that some supernatural activities happen again in Ke City, where the trace of the Ghost Sect has been found, so Gao Ge comes to Ke City decisively.

Moreover, Ke City is not very far away from Shan City. It only takes more than two hours from Ke City to Shan City by high-speed train. When he finishes the matter in Ke City, it is still not too late for him to head to Shan City.

Lying in the bed of the hotel, Gao Ge is deep in thought.

As to the Dragon Court’s arrangement, he has a lot of guesses, but they haven’t been confirmed yet. However, accumulating his own force is not a bad thing anyway, to which Gao Ge is not that resistant. Although setting up a sect is very costly, he still has some people to pay for it voluntarily. It is fair enough to say that everything just happens without extra effort. What he needs to do is not facilitate anything proactively but let nature take its course. Under such a circumstance, if Gao Ge still says a word about the Dragon Court’s arrangement, he will be regarded as unreasonable then.

Yet, he can’t understand why the Dragon Court offers such a big pie to him.

The reason that the students of Haicheng Cultivation Academy want to seek refuge with him is only good enough to take in the people of the field of immortal cultivation. Moreover, most of them are skeptical. After all, they are not fools.

With great power comes great responsibility.

As to this saying, Gao Ge has a profound understanding of it.

Now the Dragon Court is helping strengthen Gao Ge’s hard power. Does it mean there will be more trouble for Gao Ge to deal with in the near future?

Although Gao Ge always doesn’t like trouble, he will still stand up and shoulder the responsibility if Huaxia is in trouble.

These things haven’t been passed to Gao Ge but he likes to make preparations in advance. If he only starts to think about these at the critical juncture, it will be too late then.

...

When Yue Xincheng gets off the plane, someone comes to pick him up specially.

Seeing the middle-aged man driving the car, Yue Xincheng feels as if sitting on a spiked rug. He can feel the man’s strong power but he has never met him in the Dragon Court before, which is quite amazing.

When they go past the famous scenic spot of the capital, the gate tower of Tianmen, there are long queues on both sides. Although today is not a holiday, quite some people are here in the capital for a tour. When you go through the gate tower of Tianmen, you will see the inner imperial city in the early times. Across the gate tower of Tianmen is the Great Hall.

“Is this the first time that you’ve been in the capital?” In the rearview mirror, the middle-aged man driving the car sees Yue Xincheng looking out of the window and says with a grin.

“Yeah, it is my first time. I wanted to come here before but I didn’t have the time. Now that I’m here, I find that the air quality in the capital is not that poor,” Yue Xincheng says smilingly.

“It is not the right time for you to come here then. If you come earlier, you will have sand in your mouth even when you take a walk outside,” the middle-aged man says laughingly.

Yue Xincheng didn’t feel anything before but now when the middle-aged man has said so, he doesn’t feel happy then.

“I can show you around when we have time later. Actually, the imperial city is not that fun but Mount Jing is somewhat fun. When you stand on the peak of Mount Jing, you can have a bird’s-eye view of the imperial city. Mount Jing is not far away from Wangfujing. Apart from this, you can go to South Luogu Lane. People always say that tourists are easily hoodwinked in South Luogu Lane, but honestly, some gadgets of the shops there are quite interesting, most of which are from the small commodity markets though...” The middle-aged man, holding the steering wheel, continues talking, “When you finish touring around the South Luogu Lane, we can go to the Back Lakes at night, which is only within the walking distance. There are a lot of bars. Occasionally, some stars may sing in the bars. Well, there is quite some delicious food too.”

Yue Xincheng can’t help swallowing.

He is kind of intrigued.

If he doesn’t enjoy himself in the capital before going back, it seems that he will regret it then...

However, very soon Yue Xincheng composes himself and coughs, saying, “Sir, come on. This time, I’m here in the capital for business but not for fun.”

“Okay.” The middle-aged man nods his head. “Great then.”

Yue Xincheng observes the driver’s facial expression in the rearview mirror and feels weird to hear his words somehow.

It seems that something bad is awaiting him...

When they arrive at the destination, Yue Xincheng gets off the car and follows the man into a quadrangle courtyard.

“Tsk. It is so unbelievable to have a quadrangle courtyard in the capital...” Touching his chin, Yue Xincheng says.

“This is Lord Dragon King’s own property but not the base of the Dragon Court,” the middle-aged man turns to Yue Xincheng and says.

Yue Xincheng thinks about it as if deep in thought. “Fair enough. Dragon King must be highly paid.”

The middle-aged man understands what Yue Xincheng means and then says with a smile, “If you must say so, I can’t argue about that. Yet, you’ve mistaken one thing.”

“What?” Yue Xincheng asks.

“The yard didn’t cost much when Lord Dragon King bought it.”

Yue Xincheng is stunned. “It was bought many years ago?”

“Yeah, more than 100 years ago.”

Yue Xincheng doesn’t know what to say.

He does believe that. Cultivators live longer than ordinary people. For example, Master Guanshan is also very old now. Dragon King is the strongest cultivator in Huaxia. It is not surprising that he can live for 200 or 300 years. Maybe he can make it to the age of 400 or 500.

If he bought some more properties before, he would be really rich now...

Of course, if this is Dragon King’s pursuit, Yue Xincheng will feel very strange then.

Walking past the alleys, many people will greet the middle-aged man. It looks like they are quite familiar with each other.

“How many years have you been following Lord Dragon King?” Yue Xincheng asks.

The middle-aged man thinks about it and then says with a smile, “I guess about 60 years.”

Yue Xincheng is astounded instantly. “60 years?”

“Hard to tell right? It’s a shame that I can only take the style of a mature man now. The women are so unbelievable now. When I was young and fresh-faced some years ago, they tended to fancy mature men. Now that I look mature, they are prone to take a liking for fresh-faced young men. To be honest, men’s preference is relatively constant. When I was 13, I preferred the 18-year-old girls; when I was 18, I still fancied the 18-year-old girls. Now I’m in my seventies, but my preference is still not changed.”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looks up at the sky and sighs with emotion.

“Hence, my biggest merit should be staying true to the original aspiration.”

Yue Xincheng following behind him is so dumbfounded.

This is the first time that he has known the phrase of staying true to the original aspiration can be used in this way.
