Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1130: Contact
Tang Xiu himself was not aware of Gu Changmin's plans as he was now observing the guests who kept coming from outside, many of them familiar faces. It made him secretly look forward to the following auction. Most likely, the items auctioned off in such a high-level auction were extremely valuable and there might be some things that might be useful to him.
“Pretty many people come to this auction.”
Although Ouyang Lulu also saw many of his acquaintances, she did not wake up to greet them because she also did not want to talk to others.
“Yeah, there are also some business world celebrities from some nearby cities present,” Tang Xiu replied smiling. “Also, some from the Invisibility Sect have arrived, and they seem to have some ability to boot.”
“Ehh? The people from the Invisibility Science Sect are also here? ”Ouyang Lulu surprised. “Is there a magic weapon auctioned here, by chance?”
“Who knows?” Tang Xiu lightly smiled. “If anything, the people of the Occult Sect are hiding amidst the urban crowd. They live the same life as ordinary people and only reveal their identity in some special circumstances. Such people generally have extraordinary abilities. ”
“True it.” Ouyang Lulu nodded. “The people of the Invisibility Science Sect do have strange techniques. They also have their own means and channels if they want to seek wealth and can earn quite a lot of money with little effort. Furthermore, some of those involved in business also have some sort of mutually beneficial cooperation with all walks of life for profit. ”
“So you said, same as your Ouyang Family?” Tang Xiu's Comment.
“Yes. When the Ouyang family was just starting out, we used a lot of ways not to be exposed to light. “Ouyang Lulu smiled and said,” But after the continuous growth of the family, we slowly washed our hands and officially became a merchant family. Even so, most of the underground world of Jingmen Island was still controlled by Ouyang until now. ”
Tang Xiu smiled and was about to reply when he suddenly saw a familiar face in his line of sight. It was Ji Mu from Changxi City.
“What's up?”
Ouyang Lulu noticed Tang Xiu's unusual expression and immediately followed his gaze and asked at the same time.
“Well, just saw a friend of mine from Changxi,” Tang Xiu replied.
“You're on good terms with him?” Ask Ouyang Lulu.
Tang Xiu thought about it and replied, “Not bad, I think! He has a good character and a temperament that I like a lot. This brat is also a cultivator, but I never thought that he would be able to reach the mid stage of Qi Refining in such a short period of time. ”
“Hmph-deep. Just a middle-stage Qi Refining. ”Ouyang Lulu snorted and pursed her lips. “I can kill him with a flick of my finger.”
Tang Xiu could not help but laugh and reprimand her. “He started cultivating slower than you, Lulu. Moreover, you have been helped by the cultivation resources I gave you, whereas he never had them. All he relied on was his own effort, yet he was able to cultivate a bit of True Essence energy. ”
Ouyang Lulu immediately nodded after hearing that and no longer looked at the man in a disdainful manner.
“Alright, I'll call him to sit here with us.” Tang Xiu smiled and said.
Immediately after, his lips slightly moved and he transmitted his voice.
At the auction venue, Ji Mu respectfully accompanied a silver-haired old woman. Suddenly, a voice entered his hearing. He was stunned and stared blankly before turning around and looking around. He then found a somewhat familiar face waving at him, but he could not remember where he saw the person, leaving him perplexed.
Who is this guy?
Ji Mu thought about it. He then approached the silver-haired old lady and asked in a whisper, “Grandmother, do you want to find a seat first? I'll see someone. ”
The silver-haired old Lay looked gentle and kind. She smiled nodding and replied, “You kids have your own circle, so you don't need to accompany me. Also, I will return to the North after today's auction. ”
Ji Mu was surprised and he asked with a slight reluctance, “Can't you stay longer in Changxi, Grandma? I benefited a lot by following and learning from you today, especially in my knowledge of cultivation. I don't think I've taken good care of you all this time. ”
The old woman smilingly replied, “All kinds of meetings have their own parting, Sonny. I haven't seen your grandmother for over a decade, and I never thought we'd be as separated as humans and Heaven. Besides, I have been living in Changxi for quite some time, so it is time for me to return to the North, otherwise a group of boys in the house will definitely make a fuss. ”
Ji Mo nodded helplessly and whispered, “Then I will go greet my friends first, Grandma. I'll be back later. ”
“Go, then!” The old woman slowly nodded and replied.
Ji Mu slightly bowed and turned around to walk towards Tang Xiu. Although she really wanted this formidable grandmother planter to stay, she could only resist her reluctance to say goodbye as she insisted on leaving. However, that voice was very strange. It only directly entered his ears rather than calling him normally, which made him secretly shocked and scared.
However, he really did not know who that familiar person was, nor could he remember where he saw it!
“Did you call me, Friend?”
Tang Xiu pointed to the empty seat near them and smilingly said, “This is me, Ji Mu. I didn't want people to know me, so I changed my appearance. ”
Ji Mu looked very surprised. After nodding to Ouyang Lulu, he quickly took a seat on the other side of Tang Xiu and happily said, “I really never thought I would bump into you here, Brother Tang. Your face-changing technique is truly amazing, honestly! I'm feeling that you look a bit familiar, but I really don't recognize you. ”
“This is just a small trick,” Tang Xiu replied with a smile. “You are great! To think that you have broken through to the mid stage of Qi Refining is completely unexpected. Anyway, if my guess is correct, that old lady next to you should have given you some pointers, huh? ”
“Ya!” Ji Mu nodded. “Grandmother Zui Ying has given me guidance and I got many benefits.”
Nearby, the silver-haired old woman randomly found an empty chair and picked it up. But when his calm eyes glanced towards Ji Mu and he was about to take back his sight, his expression shifted slightly suddenly and his eyes were fixed on Tang Xiu and Ji Mu.
“That person is ..”
The old woman was more focused on her observation and her body trembled slightly a few seconds after. But she looked overjoyed and hardly hesitated to get up and head towards Tang Xiu. After he came in front of her, he ignored Ji Mu who stood up and was ceremonially greeted. “Aren't you Mr Tang?”
Tang Xiu stood up and smilingly said, “Ah, it looks like you can recognize me. Have you just returned from the Himalayas? ”
The silver-haired old lady happily said, “I've been here for a while. The operation had gone smoothly there, so I was thinking of making use of it to travel outside my home in the northern region. I went to Changxi to visit my older sister, but .. I never thought that this older sister of mine had died a few years ago. ”
“Please don't be too careful. Sit down and talk! ”Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Good!”
The old woman shifted to Ji Mu who looked dumbfounded and said, “Can I sit down?”
Ji Mu woke up from his stunned condition and hurriedly let him sit down, saying, “Ah, yes, you can. Please sit down, Grandma. ”
After the old woman sat down, she spoke in a low voice, “I think it will be very difficult to meet you again after we leave the Himalayas, Mr. Tang. I never thought that I would meet you in this place. That group of old mist would definitely envy me. That's for sure.”
Tang Xiu waved and said, “It's okay. We are all fellow Daoists who are walking on the path of cultivation, so it should be easy for us to meet each other. But I didn't expect you to be with this boy, Ji Mu. ”
“My grandmother and Ji Mu are older sisters who grew up together.” The old woman explained, “That's the reason why I came to Changxi — to visit her.”
“If my guess is correct, then grandma Ji Mu is also a cultivator, huh?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile. “But there's something I feel weird about. Why didn't any of the next generation of the Ji Family inherit his inheritance? ”
The silver-haired old woman shook her head and said, “I don't know the specific reason either. Older brother probably thought that only his grandson was quite outstanding in the Ji Family, so he only taught him his cultivation techniques! ”
Ji Mu, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly interrupted. “Grandmother, it wasn't my grandmother who taught me to cultivate, but Brother Tang.”
The old woman was stunned and immediately said in astonishment. “Is it Mr Tang who taught you to cultivate? Your relationship with him .. ”
“Me and Ji Mu are friends,” said Tang Xiu smiling.
Ji Mu was struck with a sudden shock as soon as he heard it. How could he not witness that the grandmother he admired the most turned out to be acting so respectfully towards Tang Xiu, as if he regarded Tang Xiu as an elder? It was precisely this reason that Tang Xiu's position was increased by several levels in his heart.
The old woman nodded with a smile. Then, he turned to look at Ji Mu and sighed. “Mu is small, you can have a friend like Mr. Tang is definitely a blessing accumulated from your previous life. Remember that you should seek Mr. Tang for further advice in the future. He will definitely shape you much better and more brilliantly. ”
“Understanding!”
Ji Mu glared at Tang Xiu, but then he asked the question he had hidden, “Didn't you have been out of the North for a short time? How did you get acquainted with Brother Tang? You also say things are happening in the Himalayas, what is really going on there? ”
The silver-haired old woman shifted her focus to Tang Xiu and quietly shook her head.
Tang Xiu lightly smiled and explained, “Actually nothing happened. It's just that we fought side by side in the battle against some demonic beasts. Your current strength is still too weak, so don't ask again about it, okay? You can go there to experience it for yourself when you have reached Foundation Establishment Stage, or better — Gold Core Stage! ”
Demonic beast ?!
Ji Mu was shocked again. She was well aware of how powerful Tang Xiu and Granny Zui Ying were. He never knew about Tang Xiu's cultivation level and only knew that he was extremely strong. But Grandma Zui Ying was at the final stage of Foundation Establishment and was clearly a very powerful expert.
