Chapter 180: Pandemic
"If you want to explain, start quickly. Can you let go of your hand first?" Zhao Ziqing glanced at Lin Fan who was holding her wrist tightly.
"Not yet. I don't mean to take advantage of you, but I need to use my true energy to help you expand your meridians. Your meridians are still too narrow..." Lin Fan explained seriously.
Zhao Ziqing frowned slightly, feeling that this sounded a little strange.
With Lin Fan's help, Zhao Ziqing not only expanded his meridians, but also gained a preliminary understanding of the various realms and mysteries of cultivation.
"Since there is a lower dantian, is there also an upper dantian?" Zhao Ziqing's intelligence was immediately revealed, and he understood it at once.
"Of course, in addition to the upper and lower dantians, there is also the middle dantian, but for now you only need to focus on the lower dantian." Lin Fan answered with a smile.
"After tonight's cleansing of the marrow and strengthening of the bones, you will be able to feel the initial results of your practice tomorrow."
Zhao Ziqing's eyes sparkled with anticipation. For women, eternal youth is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation.
Suddenly, Lin Fan's brow furrowed, a look of disbelief on his face. In such a short period of time, the spiritual energy within Zhao Ziqing's dantian had increased dramatically.
Abundant spiritual energy can indeed accelerate the progress of cultivation! At this rate, she may soon be able to break through her current realm!
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ziqing noticed Lin Fan's abnormality and asked curiously.
"Oh my god, you are such a genius in cultivation!" Lin Fan praised sincerely.
"In just those few minutes, your progress is equivalent to others' one month of hard training."
"This is nothing. I even skipped a grade when I was in school. While others were still stuck in junior high school, I was already sprinting towards the college entrance examination." Zhao Ziqing said lightly, as if he was narrating a very ordinary thing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but look at this usually cold and aloof beautiful CEO with new eyes. Could she be so boastful?
"Is it not over yet?" Zhao Ziqing looked down at her wrist which was still tightly held by Lin Fan.
"Not yet. Your meridians are too tight and need to be further unblocked so that your practice can be smoother!" Lin Fan explained, and awkwardly discovered that his hand had slipped to Zhao Ziqing's leg without him noticing.
"Uh, sorry, it was a mistake, a mistake." He quickly withdrew his hand with an awkward smile on his face.
Half an hour later, Lin Fan finished helping, feeling somewhat emotional. Even someone as talented as him still seemed far inferior to Zhao Ziqing.
He estimated that within a year at most, she would be able to lay the foundation for cultivating immortals and officially embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
"I wonder if my father ever thought of changing his apprentice when he first met Zhao Ziqing." Lin Fan muttered to himself and left the president's office.
As soon as I returned to my seat, I received a call from Liang Jiehua, telling me that he was nearby and wanted to come over for a cup of tea.
Not long after, Liang Jiehua appeared in front of him.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Lin Fan asked directly.
"I just happened to pass by and wanted to come in for a cup of tea." Liang Jiehua said easily.
"Oh, since you just want to drink tea, then just finish it and leave." Lin Fan responded while making him a cup of hot tea.
The corners of Liang Jiehua's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that such a blunt order to expel him might put their friendship in jeopardy. "Just say it if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush," Lin Fan said as he lit a cigarette.
With a snap, the flame leaped. As the leader of Longyan'an City, his movements in lighting a cigarette were surprisingly down-to-earth.
"Brother Fan, we captured a few members of the Phantom Society last night." Liang Jiehua spoke in the smoke and got straight to the point.
"The Phantom Society? That infamous organization?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows. "Do they dare to come to Ancheng and cause trouble?"
"Yes, that's them." Liang Jiehua nodded affirmatively. "These guys are just like those little devils. They all want to take advantage of the chaos to rob and make Ancheng a mess."
Hearing this, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold. He knew that those little devils were plotting something evil.
"After capturing the members of the Phantom Society, they threatened us on the dark web, demanding that we release them, otherwise they would let Ancheng become a river of blood." Liang Jiehua said angrily.
"This morning, I found one of their hideouts, but it was empty when I arrived. They even left a note threatening to give us a hard time within three days."
"Want to turn Ancheng into a sea of blood?" Lin Fan's tone revealed a chilling murderous intent. "Are they overconfident, or do they think I'm retired?"
"Spread the news that the 'Ghost King' is in Ancheng, and spread the old photos as well. If they dare to act rashly, notify me immediately!" Lin Fan ordered.
"Understood!" Liang Jiehua breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly notified his men to spread the reputation of the "Ghost King" again.
"Then, take it." Lin Fan took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to Liang Jiehua.
Liang Jiehua opened the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. He had complete trust in Lin Fan.
"Brother Fan, how is the progress between you and my cousin?" Liang Jiehua asked tentatively.
"Your cousin? You mean Xu Qingxue? What progress can we make with her? You know her temper too. She's like a tigress." Lin Fan curled his lips in disdain.
"Well, my cousin does have a quick temper, but she is kind-hearted and hates bad people the most. I will go back and persuade her to be gentler towards you." Liang Jiehua said with an embarrassed smile.
"Come on, come on. Nothing good ever happens when I run into her." Lin Fan waved his hand, interrupting him. "Lao Liang, Lao Liang, I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to be my brother-in-law?"
"Hehe, this is just to make the relationship even closer." Liang Jiehua joked.
While the two were chatting, in another corner of the city, in an apartment, three foreigners were sitting together.
"Ghost King?" One of them, browsing the dark web, suddenly exclaimed, "The Ghost King has appeared in Ancheng. All those sensational events before were actually caused by him!"
"Which ghost king?" another person asked in confusion.
"Is there another Ghost King in this world?" The third person interrupted, "Once the Ghost King appears, even ghosts and gods will retreat!" The three people's faces showed deep fear at the same time.
"So, are we still going to carry out our plan?"
The three of them looked at each other, hesitation in their eyes.
If you really encounter the Ghost King, it will be a big trouble.
"Everything is ready, how can we give up halfway!"
A foreigner gritted his teeth and said resolutely.
"Besides, the Ghost King has disappeared for three whole years. How can we conclude that he has reappeared based on just a few photos? Perhaps this is a smokescreen deliberately released by Long Yan!"
"That makes sense. We can't just ignore the giant lizards. Let's proceed as planned!"
Another foreigner also agreed.
"In the worst-case scenario, we will strengthen our preparations and resolve the issue quickly."
