Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 440 Di Xiong – Yang Guo

Chen Li could only shake his head as he looked at Yang Hao, who was following behind him like a turtle, as he was having a hard time walking with 400 pounds of iron weights on his body. ‘Am I treating him too much? His cultivation is also in the soul realm, so I think that iron weights shouldn’t be a problem for him, but it seems like he can’t do it.’ “Hey, you can take off half of them if they are too heavy for you, so you can move a little more freely.”

“No, I must be able to adapt to their weights.” Yang Hao answered as he breathed quite heavily. “These iron weights are indeed troublesome, but I don’t want to give up, or I will never be able to change.” .

“All right, you can adapt to their weights first, and I will fight with those beasts first.”

“Eh?” Yang Hao was shocked to hear that. “Are you really going to fight those beasts using such heavy equipment, Brother Chen?”

“Yes, I’m used to doing it.” Chen Li then ran in another direction as he shouted at Yang Hao. “If any powerful beast approaches you, you must contact me via voice transmission, and I will help you directly.”

Yang Hao took a deep breath after Chen Li disappeared from his sight. “Brother Chen is truly a freak! Even my grandfather wouldn’t be able to move freely with such heavy weights, let alone fight with those beasts.”

After that, Yang Hao continued walking around the southern forest as he used his senses to monitor the surrounding area, especially since there were quite a lot of strong beasts that could kill him, plus he still had difficulty moving because of the weights.

However, Yang Hao could hear the painful roars of the beasts from another area, and he also repeatedly heard huge explosions, which were caused by Chen Li’s actions.

Two old men stood high up in the sky, covered by an artifact that could hide their aura and presence, and their eyes continued to follow the movements of everyone who was training in the forest.

Even so, the spirit women had certainly noticed their presence, but they did not stop the two old men because they were Di Xiong and Yang Guo.

“That Chen Li is truly impressive, Old Xiong.” Yang Guo said as he nodded repeatedly. “If I were in his shoes, I would have difficulty moving with 1200 pounds of equipment weighing down my body. However, those weights are nothing to him, and he can even fight those beasts.”

“Yeah, you’re right, and I’d be hard-pressed to do the same as him myself.” Di Xiong then told Yang Guo. “Anyway, Chen Li came from another realm that had no qi, and he cultivated much later than our grandchildren. However, his perseverance and determination were much tougher than theirs, and he continued to push himself to exceed his limits.”

“Did he really come from another realm?” Yang Guo asked in surprise as he turned to his best friend.

“We have gone to his realm for several days to attend his wedding with Xian’er.” Di Xiong then turned to Yang Guo. “However, his realm is much different from our realm, and qi doesn’t exist there. Even so, his realm is much more advanced, and they also have many strange objects that can move on their own, like our flying artifacts.”

Since Earth had no qi, Yang Guo was not interested in it, and he was more interested in Chen Li. “If there is no qi in their realm, then how can they cultivate?”

“He had a master who came from another realm, and he took him to another place to cultivate. After he became a cultivator, he took his wife there too.” Even so, Di Xiong did not tell him about the Tianyi Realm, as it was Chen Li’s secret, but Yang Guo looked surprised to hear that. “However, I never met his master before, and they lived with his senior sisters, who continued to guide him and his wives in their cultivation and practice.”

“I see.” Yang Guo nodded in understanding and looked at his grandson. “That brat seems to have changed since he returned from their residence yesterday, and I didn’t expect that he would be willing to train that hard.”

“Isn’t that good?” Di Xiong asked him. “You have repeatedly forced Hao’er to train, but he was never willing to listen to your words, and he is now training of his own accord.”

“That’s good indeed.” Yang Guo answered with a nod. “If only he had been willing to train for a long time, his cultivation would not have fallen behind Chen’er and Jing’er, and Ri’er might not have broken off their engagement.”

“Huo Ri is indeed pretty and has a good background, especially since she is the second young miss of the Huo Clan. However, you should understand Hao’er’s feelings, and he is clearly not interested in her, so there is no point if you force their relationship.” Di Xiong then patted Yang Guo’s shoulder and pointed at Cai Yan. “Even though that little girl is still a novice cultivator and her cultivation is still at rock bottom, she looks very serious in her cultivation. Moreover, your grandson is obviously very interested in her, so it would be great if you supported him to win her heart.”

Yang Guo nodded in agreement as he also looked at Cai Yan, and he then asked Di Xiong. “What about your granddaughters? Have they chosen their future husbands?”

“Not yet.” Di Xiong replied by shaking his head. “I can see that Chen’er is interested in Chen Li, but she tries hard to hide her feelings, especially since he has too many wives. As for Jing’er, I can’t guess her heart, and she is more interested in having fun with her beasts.”

“Are you going to allow Chen’er to be Chen Li’s wife?”

“Hey, Old Yang! We’ve been friends for hundreds of years, so you should know my character, right?” Yang Guo just nodded to him. “I won’t stop Chen’er from being with Chen Li if she truly falls in love with him in the future, and I will support their relationship instead. Even so, I won’t interfere with her feelings, and I’ll let her make the decision about her own future.”

After all, Di Xiong was an experienced old cultivator, and he already knew quite a lot about Chen Li, which made him aware of his potential, so he was naturally happy if he was attracted to his granddaughter.

“Anyway, I will take my family back to the western region today, as I have to attend a meeting with other clan leaders in the next few days, so I will entrust Hao’er to you.”

Di Xiong nodded to him. “You don’t need to worry about your grandson; I can guarantee that he will be fine, and you will be surprised by his changes.”

“I hope so.”

After that, the two old men returned to the Di Clan, and Yang Guo took his family away to return to their clan.

Meanwhile, Lin Qingzhu and the others were surprised by the arrival of Yu Shi and Yang Nianxue in the building, especially since they brought a middle-aged woman with them.

Yang Nianxue then explained it to them. “I deliberately brought Zi Chen here to help you all, especially since you guys still don’t know anything about this city, so she will help you to familiarize yourselves with the situation here, including the preferences of the residents.”

Yu Shi also spoke to them. “Even though your dishes are delicious, I’m sure that not everyone in this city will like them, and Zi Chen can help you choose the right dishes to serve in this restaurant later. Besides, her family is very close to our clan, so you don’t need to worry about her, and she will keep everything a secret.”

“Qingzhu, I think that is the best choice for us.” Yun Mingyue said it first. “We can get to know the preferences of the people of this city better, and we can combine our experiences with Zi Chen’s, so our dishes might be accepted by the people more easily.”

“I agree with Mingyue.” Dongfang Wenxin chimed in. “Even though I’m sure that our dish can pique people’s interest, it would be better for us if Zi Chen helped us.”

Lin Qingzhu then asked Su Mengyao’s mother. “What do you think about it, Sister Qing?”

“I think it’s not a problem, and Zi Chen will be a great help to us in the kitchen.” Jia Qing answered as she nodded in agreement. “However, we can’t possibly handle everything, so we need some waitresses to handle our customers later.”

Lin Qingzhu then said to them. “All right, Zi Chen can help us, but we still have to explain a lot about the spices we usually use, especially since many of them don’t exist in this city.”

“That’s good.” Yu Shi nodded, satisfied with that. “As for the waitresses, Nianxue and I will help you recruit them, and you can determine their salaries later.”

“Thank you, Aunt Shi and Sister Nianxue.”

After the two women left the building, Lin Qingzhu and the others explained many things to Zi Chen, and they also showed her the various spices they had brought from the earth.

Even though it was her first time seeing the spices, Zi Chen was already quite experienced as a cook, and she had no difficulty understanding their explanations.
