Chapter 1340: Chapter 399: The Right Path

Chapter 399 [Right Path]

All the Primordial Qi dissipated, the cultivation completely wasted — especially the last finger he pointed at his own brow before he fell unconscious, which completely broke the storage of Primordial Qi in his cultivation technique.

It was equivalent to abolishing his cultivation! Now, having become a mortal, he could no longer perform any spells!

This is also why Chen Yan hid all the magical artifacts and storage equipment and didn’t carry them with him.

Even if he brought them, he wouldn’t be able to use them.

Without cultivation, without mana, even if he carried storage equipment, he wouldn’t be able to open it.

Of course, some things still exist.

Essence nourishing the physical body had already enhanced the strength of his physical body to a near-superhuman level — there was no way around this.

And then without mana, he couldn’t use spells, and the Qi Observation Skill naturally couldn’t be performed either.

But oddly, his eyes could still see through destiny and fortune!

This wasn’t the function of spells and cultivation, but rather... the "Illusion Breaking" divine technique.

This ability came from something a mysterious senior brother in the Joyful Sect had given him — obtained after consuming it — and it seemed to have become his inherent divine technique, which existed even after his cultivation was abolished.

"Hmm, a strong body, eyes that can still see fortune... everything else is reset to zero."

Chen Yan sighed.

I hope the path I’ve thought of can be traversed, otherwise, this gamble is almost an ALL IN. If I lose, it’ll be a great loss.

Then he staggered out of the back mountain.

·

He called a ride-share and went straight to another residence of his: a flat apartment.

Returning home, he retrieved a backpack and casually stuffed in some change of underwear.

He also dug out all his identification documents, neatly packed them in a card holder, and stuffed it into an inner zip compartment of the backpack.

After finishing these tasks, Chen Yan pulled out his phone and sent a message to Chu Keqing.

"She needs cultivation, will be away traveling for a period."

In less than a minute, Chu Keqing called.

"Going on a long trip?" Chu Keqing’s tone was somewhat concerned.

"Yes, had some thoughts and feelings, so I’m going to travel for a few days."

"..."

On the other end of the call, Chu Keqing fell silent.

Chen Yan sighed, knowing what was going through this woman’s mind — they had just gotten together when Gu Qingyi’s sudden return disrupted their rhythm. While Gu Qingyi was around, they didn’t really have the space for a two-person world.

Now, he’s suddenly leaving again.

There’s always a sense of... suspicion that one might run off as soon as they put their pants on.

"Are you going with... Elder Gu?"

"No, she went back to her place; I’m traveling alone."

"Can I come with you?" Chu Keqing’s tone was a bit melancholic.

"That’s not necessary." Chen Yan sighed: "It’s not that I want to refuse you, but based on my current thoughts, I must avoid cultivators, preferably not get involved with anyone... Anyway, it’s too complicated to explain, I’ll tell you when I get back."

Chu Keqing laughed wryly: "You really can’t take me?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t..." Chen Yan also felt some regret, otherwise, taking a charming and stunning Team Leader Jin along, the delightful journey...

Hmm, don’t think about that, I’m going out to handle a serious matter!

If I took Chu Keqing along, it would mess up my important business; wouldn’t I then be exerting myself on her every day?

"When will you be back home?"

"I don’t know, when I make a breakthrough I’ll be back, probably a few months."

Chu Keqing fell silent again, but it was clear that she was reluctantly accepting it.

Chen Yan then explained some matters regarding the home.

"When you come back, stay in the villa, either at my home or yours. But, at home, I’ve had Gui Geng, the housekeeper, return and instructed him to follow your orders.

Um, he’s not human, he’s a turtle demon, already at the Transformation Stage cultivation level. If a fight breaks out, he’s much stronger than you. So, he’s like a bodyguard arranged for you. But it’s best not to take him when you go out, just let him guard the house."

Besides, if you encounter any difficult issues, I’ll give you an address to seek help from a person.

Do you remember that guy named Ouyang in the Trial Secret Realm in Japan?

That’s him; he’s now in Jinling Prefecture too. I’ll give you an address. If you run into difficulties and need help, find him, explain our relationship, and he’ll help you on my behalf."

He then explained several other trivial matters, mainly regarding assets. The asset management company, the two street’s properties. These things are best managed by Chu Keqing, who was originally wealthy.

Finally, despite Chu Keqing’s still melancholy tone, Chen Yan hung up the call.

The scattering technique matter wasn’t discussed with Chu Keqing, to avoid worrying her.

Chen Yan carried the backpack downstairs, called a ride-share, and headed straight to the high-speed railway station.

Arriving at the station, he looked at the latest schedules in the ticket hall.

He raised his hand...

"Randomly..."

In the end, he randomly chose a schedule and bought a ticket.

Security check, ticket inspection, heading towards the platform.

After ticket inspection, descending to the platform via the escalator, Chen Yan glanced at a passenger beside him.

It was a young girl, petite, carrying a backpack, still with a hint of student aura, and wearing thick glasses on her nose.
