Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 703 - 705: At the End of One’s Rope
Chapter 703: Chapter 705: At the End of One’s Rope
The matter of the Jade Scroll, Chu Feng had not mentioned it to Zhang Shisan before mainly because Chu Feng himself had not yet fully understood the contents of the Jade Scroll.
But now, Chu Feng had basically figured out some clues. Most importantly, a place like Heavenly Mechanism Island certainly wouldn’t allow easy communication with the outside world. If he didn’t speak now, Chu Feng didn’t know when he would next have the chance.
Chu Feng said, "Master, I have something to tell you. However, this matter might be hard to comprehend and could surpass your imagination. It’s best you prepare yourself mentally."
Zhang Shisan looked at Chu Feng and nodded, "Speak."
Chu Feng took a deep breath and immediately explained the Jade Scroll to Zhang Shisan.
At the same time, Chu Feng also relayed to Zhang Shisan everything he had seen inside the Jade Scroll so far.
For Zhang Shisan, this was indeed earth-shattering. It completely overturned all his previous understanding.
Especially when he heard Chu Feng say that only after breaking through to the Heavenly Level does one actually take the first step in Cultivation, completing the Foundation Establishment.
After Foundation Establishment, there was talk of something called a Golden Core. Of course, what shocked Zhang Shisan the most was that those in the Golden Core Realm could live up to five hundred years.
According to what Zhang Shisan knew, although Ancient Martial Arts could extend one’s life, even at the Heavenly Level, it was only by some two hundred years. There were few who lived beyond two hundred, and even legendary Holy Level masters, who were said to surpass the Heavenly Level, didn’t seem to exceed three hundred years old.
But if one could step into the Golden Core Realm, the lifespan could be extended by more than double. If that were the case, then for Zhang Shisan, his current age would just be the beginning.
"Master, there are many more realms ahead, but my current level of Cultivation is limited, and I can’t see much further. How about I give you the Jade Scroll to hold onto?" said Chu Feng.
Zhang Shisan waved his hands continuously, "Keep it, I already have enough knowing about the Golden Core Realm. If I truly can break through to the Golden Core Realm, I would have a lifespan of five hundred years. Then, we will have plenty of time to study it. Besides, even if you gave it to me now, I don’t possess Divine Sense."
Chu Feng said, "That’s true, and when I’ve read the follow-ups, I’ll write them down to send to you, Master."
Zhang Shisan took a drink and said spiritedly, "I’ve lived long enough and am content. If I can take my revenge too, I’d be satisfied even if I died tomorrow."
Chu Feng raised his glass, "Master, you will surely live for ten thousand, ten thousand, countless years."
Zhang Shisan laughed heartily, "Having you as my disciple is the most satisfying thing for me."
Chu Feng looked at Zhang Shisan, truly reluctant to part, and said, "Master, if you really can’t bear to let me go, let’s not leave. When your disciple has broken through to the Heavenly Level, I’ll go and flatten the Inner Martial World for you. Let’s stay in East River; we’re all family to you. When you have nothing to do, scold or teach me a lesson, then cook for them, wouldn’t that be nice?"
Zhang Shisan said, "Let’s wait for the day I truly become old, like you, I can’t let go of the grudge in my heart."
Chu Feng and Zhang Shisan drank until dawn.
After dawn, Zhang Shisan left.
He didn’t let Chu Feng see him off, nor did he say goodbye to Fan Xiaoxiao and the others.
Zhang Shisan was not accustomed to such farewells; however, he still forcefully stuffed some items he had withheld from the Dragon Soul General Captain into Chu Feng’s possession. freewebnσvel.cøm
Had there been any Elixirs, Chu Feng would have definitely given them to Zhang Shisan, but there were none left. Still, there were some valuable items like hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains, all of which he packed for Zhang Shisan.
Watching Zhang Shisan leave, Chu Feng felt as if something was really missing from his heart.
But now, asking Chu Feng to leave, he really couldn’t. East River still needed him, and he still had many things to do. Fengjing Group had just started, and he hadn’t even stabilized his position in East River yet. If he left, who would protect An Rongrong and the others?
However, Chu Feng had made up his mind; as soon as the situation here stabilized, he would go to Heavenly Mechanism Island to find Zhang Shisan and help him to take his revenge early.
With Zhang Shisan gone, the responsibility for making breakfast naturally fell on Chu Feng.
After Chu Feng finished cooking, An Rongrong and the other four woke up as well.
"Where is Grandpa Zhang? The breakfast has no flavor at all, and it’s not nutritious; it’s really substandard. I want to eat what Grandpa Zhang makes," Fan Xiaoxiao pushed her plate forward and pouted.
Chu Feng gave Fan Xiaoxiao a flick on the head, "Just eat what’s there and quit complaining so much. Master has left, so you can forget about eating his cooking from now on."
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly burst into tears, "How could Grandpa Zhang be dead, he was fine yesterday? How come he’s gone today?"
Chu Feng, forehead lined with three black streaks, flicked her again, "Master is alive and well, he just has his own matters to attend to and has left East River."
Fan Xiaoxiao jumped up, knocked Chu Feng back, and said, "Then you should have made that clear, spared me the wasted emotions."
"Alright, you two stop it. Let’s talk about something serious," Cui Jingyan said.
Chu Feng took a bite of a roll, "Go ahead, Sister Yan."
Cui Jingyan said, "Starting next month, Xiaoxiao and Tingting’s national tour is going to begin. Also, a film specially tailored for Xiaoxiao and Tingting is about to start shooting. Fengjing Entertainment’s brand-new star-making strategy will be launched shortly. So I think, it’s time we relocate the headquarters of Fengjing Entertainment to the Songjiang provincial capital first."
Chu Feng nodded, "That’s fine. Sister Yan, just handle these things as you see fit."
Cui Jingyan said, "That’s not what I meant to discuss. What I want to talk about is the security. Now that Black Bear and his team have withdrawn, all security forces are focused on the development of the Holy Stele. When we go to Songjiang, how should we handle security there?"
This was indeed a problem, as Black Bear and his team had been left in Yanjing by Chu Feng to help Huang Lan.
After all, Huang Lan, a woman, also needed support.
And now, without Black Bear and his team, the entire Fengjing Group’s security forces were indeed a bit stretched.
Ultimately, it was a lack of talent, especially in terms of expert talents. One Old Black was far from enough for Chu Feng.
After a moment’s contemplation, Chu Feng said, "Let Dong Wanliang take charge of the Songjiang side for now. Once Black Bear and his team are back from Yanjing, the security force there will all go to Songjiang. At most, it should just be a month’s time."
