Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1138 - 709: Longevity Pill No. 002
Chapter 1138: Chapter 709: Longevity Pill No. 002
“Mr. Chu, Senior Tianya asked me to give this to you!”
The heirs from the Four Great Families have already left one after another. It is now late at night, and Chu Mo is still sitting quietly in the 77th-floor rest lounge of the Financial Building, with no one else remaining by his side except Dong Xun’er.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The one who appeared in front of Chu Mo is Wei Ran, the second-generation heir of the Wei family. This young man, who was only a Half-step Grandmaster a few hours ago, now carries an indescribable aura on him.
Wei Ran, with utmost reverence, presented a wooden box with both hands, bowed deeply, and spoke very earnestly:
“Senior Tianya has left already. Before leaving, he asked me to deliver a message to Mr. Chu. Senior said, please take care of Miss Liu Liu!”
The Half-step Celestial God, Tianya, has already left, and Chu Mo wasn’t surprised. For such a mysterious and elusive expert, it was exceptional that he stayed here for half a day. Although Chu Mo had some matters regarding Liu Ping to ask him, since the other party had left, Chu Mo didn’t harbor hope, but rather felt a slight sense of relief.
Chu Mo’s gaze returned from the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him and focused back on the young man before him. Although Wei Ran seemed unchanged on the surface, upon closer observation, it was evident that Wei Ran was not only more mature and stable than before, but he also carried an aura that no ordinary Grandmaster possessed — an aura that only top experts like the Shaolin Abbot Master Zhi Shang, as well as breakthrough experts Jiang Dingnan and Hua Zhenyu, possessed.
Chu Mo received the exquisite wooden box from Wei Ran. He didn’t rush to open the box, but instead quietly observed Wei Ran for a moment before suddenly asking:
“What kind of gains did you achieve this time?”
If it had been anyone else asking, Wei Ran would certainly not reveal the truth, but in front of Chu Mo, he had no intentions of concealing anything and answered with great respect:
“Mr. Chu, Senior Tianya did not accept me as his closed-door disciple due to my poor aptitude. He foresaw that I wouldn’t reach the realm of a Celestial God in this lifetime, thus he did not allow me to call him ‘Master’. According to him, my cultivation limit is at the peak mid-level Great Grandmaster, with only a one in a thousand chance of breaking through to the upper-level Great Grandmaster. Hence, Senior Tianya ultimately helped me break through the Heavenly Barrier. Although my current cultivation remains at the initial stage of a Great Grandmaster, breaking through to an upper-level Great Grandmaster after reaching the peak mid-level Great Grandmaster will not be hindered anymore.
The benefit of doing so is that I can directly cultivate to the pinnacle of martial arts, but this comes with a clear drawback: once I reach the upper-level Great Grandmaster, both the speed and the difficulty of cultivating will be innumerably harder compared to the upper-level Great Grandmasters who broke the Heavenly Barrier through their own efforts, and I might be stuck at this stage for life!”
Wei Ran’s expression remained calm. He wasn’t dissatisfied despite the stagnation in progression. Truth be told, without Chu Mo and Tianya’s help, his greatest potential in life would have been a peak mid-level Great Grandmaster, and breaking through the Heavenly Barrier would have been nearly impossible.
But now, Tianya directly helped him break the Heavenly Barrier. Although this cut off his future path of cultivation, it also saved him decades of cultivation time, allowing him to reach the peak in one fell swoop.
Upon hearing that the young man before him had broken through the Heavenly Barrier, Chu Mo couldn’t help feeling a touch of envy.
Wei Ran’s future cultivation path would undoubtedly be smooth. Without the obstruction of the Heavenly Barrier, it was highly possible he would reach the realm of an upper-level Great Grandmaster before the age of forty-five. It’s noteworthy that this cultivation speed could potentially break the record within Hua Country’s martial arts world. Even the genius Bai Yijian Saint of the Xiāng Jiāng Dragon Family wouldn’t match Wei Ran’s pace.
Chu Mo gently fiddled with the exquisite wooden box in his hand. Given the seriousness with which Tianya treated it, it must contain something exceedingly precious. If Chu Mo’s guesses were correct, inside this small wooden box would be a Heavenly Spirit Pill that could drive the entire martial world mad.
With this pill, a mid-level Great Grandmaster could directly increase their chances of advancement by thirty percent.
If the Bai Yijian Saint of the Xiāng Jiāng Dragon Family obtained this Heavenly Spirit Pill, he would definitely advance to an upper-level Great Grandmaster.
Tianya once had two Heavenly Spirit Pills and had already consumed one. The effect of this remaining pill on him was diminutive. As a Half-step Celestial God, holding this Heavenly Spirit Pill was of little benefit to him. Moreover, he was about to retreat into life-and-death meditation, and since he needed to entrust Chu Mo to take care of Liu Liu, this could be seen as fulfilling his final wish, which is why he gifted this incredibly precious Heavenly Spirit Pill to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo focused back on Wei Ran, who was in front of him. Facing such a young and promising Great Grandmaster, Chu Mo naturally intended to recruit him. Thus, after a momentary concentrated pause, Chu Mo spoke in an even tone:
“Wei Ran, what do you plan to do in the future?”
The young man before him bowed slightly, replying with utmost seriousness:
“I had already promised Senior Tianya that I would guard by Miss Liu Liu’s side for this lifetime. If anyone dares to harm Miss Liu Liu, they must step over my dead body first. Although Senior Tianya did not allow me to call him ‘Master’, in my heart, Senior Tianya is my Master, and as a disciple, I will devote my entire effort!”
