Chapter 142 Ren Siyao's Obsession
Ren Siyao smiled and said, "You're quite skilled. Join our Huayun Sect."
She thought to herself that it was normal for Lin Fan not to know anything about the Huayun Sect, after all, he was just a lowly son-in-law who had married into the family, but he was skilled and had saved her life. Introducing Lin Fan into the Huayun Sect was a way of repaying his kindness.
"I'll think about it!" Lin Fan said dismissively.
As a delaying tactic, Lin Fan thought that his encounter with Ren Siyao was fleeting and they would never see each other again. He feared that if she joined any sect, it might cause more trouble.
Lin Fan paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "What are the ranks in martial arts cultivation?"
"Martial arts training is divided into two levels."
Ren Siyao patiently explained, "The first level is called the Body Refinement Realm, which has nine stages. I am at the sixth stage of Body Refinement, and I think you are about the same."
"The second level is even more powerful, called the Transcendent Realm! There are very few experts in the world who can reach the Transcendent Realm."
"I see," Lin Fan replied awkwardly.
The Transcendent Realm, which is the entry point of the Nine Netherworlds, has actually become the highest realm in the mortal world.
"The sect leader of Huayun Sect is at the Transcendent Realm, and even the president of Shancheng Group has to show him respect." Ren Siyao's tone was full of pride.
"Does the president of the Shancheng Group even know him? Maybe he doesn't even know there's such a thing as martial arts cultivation," Lin Fan said with a wry smile.
A disdainful expression appeared in the rearview mirror: "Ordinary people certainly don't know about martial arts, but who among the upper class doesn't? Our sect leader is a guest of honor at the Mountain City Group!"
"A distinguished guest?" Lin Fan looked puzzled; he hadn't invited any distinguished guests.
Ren Siyao frowned: "Yes, but after President Lin passed away, Shancheng Group changed presidents, and we haven't had much contact since."
So that's how it is. No wonder, Lin Fan has only been back for a month. Given his previous social status, it's normal that he couldn't access these things.
Lin Fan thought to himself that there were still many unknown things in this mountain city, and each social class could only experience the feelings of their own class.
When Lin Fan was a child, he watched his parents struggle to make ends meet. Only as his family became wealthier did the world begin to expand in his eyes.
Reaching the Nine Netherworlds is a completely different experience.
I've only been back for a short time, and I've already been thrust into the top of the mountain city, without even having a chance to fully experience it.
"So, are you tempted? Do you want to join the Huayun Sect?" Ren Siyao asked with a smile.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Let me think about it some more—"
"What's there to consider? So many people are desperate to join our Huayun Sect but don't even have a chance!"
Ren Siyao was a little anxious: "Do you think joining a sect will affect your work? You're overthinking it. Once you join the Huayun Sect, all the major companies will be fighting over you!"
"Think about it"
Ren Siyao turned around abruptly: "Why are you so stubborn! If all else fails, come directly to Shancheng Group, and I'll arrange a middle management position for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Siyao looked somewhat dejected.
"Do you still have this ability?"
Lin Fan became curious about Ren Siyao's identity. How could this young girl be able to assign positions so easily within the Shancheng Group? Could she be another 'Owen Xuan'?
"Don't worry about that," Ren Siyao replied seriously, then smiled and said, "Are you tempted? Join the Huayun Sect."
"Let me think about it," Lin Fan said helplessly.
When Lin Fan achieved mastery of the Nine Netherworld Technique, all the major sects vied for this chosen one. However, Lin Fan chose to establish his own sect, the Heavenly Mystery Sect. In just 50 years, the Heavenly Mystery Sect rose to become one of the eight major sects of the Nine Netherworld.
Later, Lin Fan passed on the Heavenly Mystery Sect to his disciples and began cultivating alone to find a way to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. However, a bolt of lightning blasted him back to the mortal world.
Wouldn't it be beneath him to become a disciple of a Transcendent Realm sect leader?
Ren Siyao glanced at the Lingjueding villa area ahead and asked anxiously, "Are you going to join the Huayun Sect or not!"
"Why are you so insistent on me joining the Huayun Sect?" Lin Fan asked helplessly.
This question made Ren Siyao blush: "Fine, don't join then!"
After driving a while longer, Lin Fan opened the door and got out of the car. Before leaving, he took a careful look at Ren Siyao through the car window.
Her face was fair and jade-like. Although she wore no makeup, her cheeks seemed to have a light blush on them. Her tight leather clothes accentuated her beautiful figure, and her short hair made her look very capable.
I've memorized their faces. I'll check when I have time to see if they're corrupt officials from the Shancheng Group.
"Why are you staring at me? Do you want to join the Hua Yun Sect?"
Ren Siyao placed her hands on the car window sill, leaned out, and asked in surprise.
"Think about it"
After saying that, Lin Fan quickly left, otherwise he would be driven crazy by the questions.
"Tch!" Ren Siyao pouted as she watched Lin Fan's retreating figure. "I'm determined to make you join the Huayun Sect."
After Ren Siyao finished speaking, she turned the car around and drove away.
When Lin Fan arrived at the villa, it was already 10 p.m., but he didn't rush home. Instead, he went to find Liang Sanhu.
He arrived at Villa No. 002, where Liang Sanhu and Nangong Jin lived.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here?"
Liang Sanhu, who was drinking in the living room, quickly got up when he saw Lin Fan.
Lin Fan waved for Liang Sanhu to sit down, then walked to the coffee table, opened a can of beer, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sit down, let's have a drink together!" Liang Sanhu said with a smile.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan sat down on the sofa, opened another can, took a big gulp, and asked, "Brother Sanhu, how long have you been here?"
Liang Sanhu picked up a large mouthful of food and brought it to his mouth: "It's been more than 20 years, hasn't it?"
"Have you encountered any other people from the Nine Netherworlds?" Lin Fan asked again.
Liang Sanhu put down his chopsticks and shouted upstairs, "Nangong Jin! Come out here for a moment, President Lin is here!"
After calling out to Liang Sanhu, he smiled and said, "I've only ever met Nangong Jin."
Lin Fan frowned, looking somewhat disappointed.
Nangong Jin came downstairs, drying her hair with a towel: "President Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"
The same question was asked of Nangong Jin, and Nangong Jin's answer was: She had only met Liang Sanhu.
Nangong Jin has been here for 3 years, and Liang Sanhu has been here for 20 years. They met each other as people from the Nine Netherworld. Could it be that they really haven't been here for long?
Thinking of this, Lin Fan suddenly remembered someone, so he took out Fang Yixiao's business card and called him.
A moment later, a smile connected the call.
"Senior Fang, I am Lin Fan."
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded surprised: "Master Lin, have you found a way back?"
"Not yet. I'm calling to ask you something. You've been in this world for a hundred years now. Have you met any other people from the Nine Netherworlds?" Lin Fan asked.
"Of course I've encountered it. I've traveled all over China and investigated for over 300 years, but—"
Lin Fan was taken aback: "But what?"
"But very few survived; they were either struck by lightning or died of old age."
Fang Yixiao thought for a moment: "I remember there should be two in Shancheng City, one named Liang Sanhu and the other named Nangong Jin, but I don't have much contact with them."
"Then there are no Celestials?" Lin Fan asked again.
When I first met Liang Sanhu, I had discussed with him the matter of the Celestials coming to the mortal world.
The Blood Thunder Curse of the Nine Netherworld Emperor was definitely not cast for a few mortals, but for the Celestial Clan.
“There have been Celestials before, but the Blood Lightning is even more effective against them. If a Celestial is hit by the Blood Lightning, the damage is dozens or even hundreds of times greater.”
"The Celestial Clan members in the present world have long been exterminated."
“And—” Fang Yixiao added.
Lin Fan quickly asked, "Anything else?"
"Furthermore, according to my investigation, there is evidence that the Nine Netherworld People have been here since the beginning of modern civilization, and just as I told you, no matter when they arrived in the modern world, they all came in the first year of Tai Zhang."
"Many things in the present world are inherited from the Nine Netherworld, including some antiques and cultural relics, and of course, most of them have been lost."
"In addition, martial arts have also been passed down. In the current environment where spiritual energy is scarce, martial arts can only be cultivated up to the Transcendent Realm at most."
"Even now, there are still a lot of martial arts practitioners in the world, and many people have started their own sects, but in your eyes they are all just small fry."
Fang Yixiao had told these things to his disciples as stories before, but even Jiulong and the others didn't believe them.
"Thank you, Senior Fang. I think I can now proceed with the investigation!" Lin Fan finally felt relieved to learn that there were no Celestials in the present world.
