Chapter 586 - 585: So It’s the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique
This is a purple agate pendant, about the size of Wu Mengting’s thumb.
Wu Mengting held the purple agate and found it was tied with a red thread. She tried to pull it gently but found it seemed stuck. She gradually exerted more force, and the red thread slowly came out from the wall.
But at the last moment, the red thread was suddenly stuck.
"Mengting, what are you doing?" Chen Tianlong turned his head and suddenly saw Wu Mengting pulling something with a tense expression, instinctively stunned, and asked.
"Clang!"
At that moment, Wu Mengting gave it a hard tug, and right on the wall, less than a meter from the purple agate pendant, a sizable square opening appeared, about twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide.
More precisely, a space the size of two bricks.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong quickly walked over and looked inside the opening. It turned out to be a small box. Chen Tianlong hurriedly took it out; the box was very delicate, although somewhat aged, it was well preserved.
At this moment, Wu Mengting also came over, looking curious at the box.
Chen Tianlong looked around and found two clasps. He pressed them hard, and with a clang, the box opened.
What was presented before them was something wrapped in gray cloth. Chen Tianlong curiously unveiled it and discovered it was a book.
Specifically, it was a thin book.
Chen Tianlong held it in his hand but found the back of the book was rather rough. He quickly turned it over and found it was missing half. Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly opened the book.
Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique!
Damn! It really is it, no wonder it’s missing half.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong quickly continued reading down. Indeed, the heart method mantra at the beginning was exactly the same as what his father taught him. What excited Chen Tianlong was that there was more.
The Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique is divided into four levels: Reverse Force, Breaking Force, Controlled Force, and Condensing Force. After flipping for a while, he saw the words "Breaking Force," and was instantly thrilled. But as he continued to flip, he found it was already at the end.
"Ah, it’s still not complete, where exactly is the other half?" Chen Tianlong shook his head, somewhat disappointed.
At this moment, Wu Mengting was startled, seeing Chen Tianlong sometimes excited, sometimes shaking his head, quite peculiar, so she asked, "Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong?"
"I found the heart method mantra my father left behind, but unfortunately, there’s only half!" Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly.
"Oh, alright." Wu Mengting didn’t quite understand these things, just that Chen Tianlong mentioned something about ancient martial cultivators needing to learn some kinds of heart methods, it seemed bizarre, like watching martial arts movies.
If Chen Tianlong weren’t actually standing in front of her and acting like this, Wu Mengting would think it was only plot found in novels.
Chen Tianlong nodded, held Wu Mengting’s hand, and said, "Alright, mission accomplished, let’s go out. This house has a musty smell; breathing it too much is not good."
Wu Mengting nodded slightly and followed Chen Tianlong out of the house.
At this time, Mo Jing was playing outside for a while, saw the two come out, and then walked over, saying, "Brother, did you find anything good?"
"Oh, no, just a book my father showed me when I was little, I happened to find it and brought it back to keep." Chen Tianlong didn’t say it was a heart method secret manual, afraid Mo Jing wouldn’t understand and would spread it around.
Since his father hid it so secretly and he benefited greatly after learning the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, it must be a very heaven-defying heart method. If someone else finds out, it might bring disaster.
"Oh, alright. Let’s hurry back to Old Chen’s house; it’s so desolate here." Mo Jing, being a child, spoke her discomfort directly without holding back.
Chen Tianlong nodded and led them back to Old Chen’s house.
The entire afternoon, Chen Tianlong took Wu Mengting and Mo Jing for a leisurely tour around Lotus Village, appreciating the mountain streams and countryside, feeling the beauty of nature.
"Chen Tianlong, if there ever comes a day, I truly wish to live here. It’s backward, but very peaceful." Wu Mengting recently experienced many things, gradually realizing that life’s true essence is often found in serenity.
"Haha, alright, after we graduate, I want to build a big house around here, enclosing a large yard, and every day accompany you and Mo Jing to watch the sunrise and sunset, how about that?" Chen Tianlong’s words seemed both earnest and playful, considering they still had many years before graduation.
Unpredictable are the events of life; plans often can’t keep up with changes.
"Sure." Wu Mengting smiled slightly, even if it’s just a promise, it’s beautiful; at least it represents that Chen Tianlong once cared, once dreamed for her.
The three strolled until after sunset, walking back leisurely, while Chen Tian had already prepared dinner.
In the blink of an eye, the two-day trip in Lotus Village was complete. Wu Mengting had to go home to handle some affairs, while Mo Jing stayed at Old Chen’s house and would be sent over when school started.
After sending Wu Mengting back to South Sea City, Chen Tianlong didn’t return to Lotus Village but went to check on the company situation.
Just that Chen Tianlong was a bit frustrated; having rarely gone to Capital City this time, he somehow forgot the main task, he should have taken the opportunity to let Li Bingshuang teach some experience on how to manage an enterprise.
To Chen Tianlong, he felt Li Bingshuang was more capable than Lin Batian, after all, Li Bingshuang’s side mainly focused on pharmaceutical projects, rich in experience from research to channel sales.
The new company building was confirmed, renovation starting after the seventh day of the lunar new year, ensuring completion before the Lantern Festival. So, as the general manager, Li Jingwen along with chief engineer Li Tianyou began busying themselves just after the fourth day of the lunar new year.
Chen Tianlong entrusted such a big company to their management, so not putting in effort would really betray such trust.
Of course, Lin Batian as the strong backing of World Medicine Company, provided many elite staff to Chen Tianlong, especially several outstanding ones selected for pharmaceutical projects, directly responsible for interacting with Chen Tianlong’s technicians and managers.
This accelerated the enhancement of World Medicine’s corporate management and operational experience.
Yet, Chen Tianlong felt it was far from enough; he needed to incorporate new blood, meaning new talents and new channels.
After taking a glance at the company, it was just past nine in the morning. Chen Tianlong planned to return to the Chen Family to check on the two girls.
However, he hadn’t informed them in advance, wanting to surprise them, so he parked the car outside the gate and instructed the guard not to report it.
Winter breakfast, slightly cold, the air became somewhat dry, somewhat thin.
Lu Xiaoyu woke up early to watch Pleasant Goat, wearing pajamas. During these days, Lin Batian and Mr. Hu were not at home, seemingly going on a business trip, returning in three days.
During the festive season, Lu Xiaoyu felt very bored, and her best friend Lin Wushuang seemed to be daydreaming all day, not knowing what she was thinking, naturally making it dull.
