In the lake, Wu Yin's eyes were spitting fire, she was really angry. With her identity, she rarely suffered losses. It was already good enough that she didn't trouble Wang Xuan. But today, he actually took the initiative to attack her, no, it was a kick. It made her unbearable and she was about to explode with anger.

Moreover, her buttocks were slightly painful, the force of that kick was not light at all, it almost made her scream at that time.

She had a hot temper to begin with, and now her chest was heaving violently. She wanted to go ashore immediately and settle the score with that person.

But she didn't dare to move because her long skirt was completely soaked and stuck to her body. With her stunning figure, she didn't dare to go ashore, otherwise she would definitely become the center of attention.

She used her long hair to cover her face, afraid of being photographed. But the water was really cold, after all, it was late autumn. She gritted her teeth in the freezing cold.

On the other side, the female star was not as calm. After falling into the lake, she screamed. This experience was a nightmare for her, she even swallowed two mouthfuls of water.

Fortunately, the black-clothed person who fell into the lake was responsible and a group of burly men, including a few female bodyguards, swam over and held her, preventing her from sinking. But her makeup was ruined.

Wu Yin's assistant saw this scene and didn't dare to act impulsively, afraid of being kicked into the water as well. She stood on the shore and quickly called for help.

One of the black-clothed bodyguards wanted to go ashore, but the onlookers booed and kicked him back into the water. The other black-clothed bodyguards didn't dare to come up either.

"Everyone, step back. Saving people is the priority. Accidentally falling into the water is the easiest way to catch a cold." Wang Xuan shouted. He didn't want the situation to escalate, so it was better for someone to come up first.

One by one, the black-clothed people came ashore, and it was obvious that they became much more low-key. They didn't dare to push people anymore and helped their companions up on the shore.

"Da Wu, I'll pull you up!" Wang Xuan shouted to Wu Yin. In the spirit of being kind to others and not making enemies, he reached out to help Wu Yin up, and considerately didn't call her real name, after all, she came from a super family on New Planet, and her identity was sensitive.

Wu Yin didn't move, and her beautiful eyes spewed even more fire when she heard the nickname. She didn't feel any warmth from being rescued or cared for. On the contrary, she felt that the person was definitely retaliating for her excessive words and actions last time.

Wang Xuan saw that she didn't react and lowered her head, using her hair to cover her pretty face like an ostrich. He couldn't be bothered anymore since they only had a few encounters.

Wu Yin noticed his gaze and felt that he was doing it on purpose, wanting to pull her out of the water and see her embarrassed appearance with her wet skirt clinging to her body.

"Lei Lei!" A woman in her thirties with tears in her eyes and a sobbing voice quickly ran over and greeted the little girl beside Wang Xuan.

"Mommy!" The little girl happily called out.

There were too many people just now, coupled with the chaos caused by the black-clothed people pushing and shoving, the mother and daughter were separated.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan immediately sent the little girl over, and the woman thanked him with a tearful voice, quickly picking up her child.

At this moment, a man in his fifties walked over with a few people, making Wang Xuan instantly alert. The people around the old man were not ordinary.

"Xiao Yin, what happened to you?"

"Uncle, someone pushed me into the water." Wu Yin informed and looked towards Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan sighed, Old Cheng was a bit slow in his actions, why hasn't he arrived yet? He didn't leave earlier, so naturally he wouldn't leave now. He calmly stepped forward as a concerned citizen and told the middle-aged man that the female star's scene was too big, causing the road here to be blocked, and the bodyguards almost pushed the passersby into the lake.

"It's really outrageous!" Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "Clearly she made a mistake, but the female star just whispered that she knew the victim in the lake. It's simply..."

The middle-aged man in his fifties was named Wu Chenglin, and he was indeed Wu Yin's uncle. He was naturally quite shrewd. When he heard this, he immediately knew that this young man's enthusiasm was mixed with some ulterior motives.

"Do they really know each other?" Wang Xuan pointed at the "victim" Wu Yin in the water, and then pointed to the female star not far away.

"They don't know each other!" Wu Chenglin immediately shook his head, and quickly took off his coat and handed it to Wu Yin, pulling her up himself.

Naturally, he had to deny it. Their way of doing things was like this. They wouldn't be too high-profile. They usually stayed behind the scenes and wouldn't expose themselves to become the center of attention.

Moreover, if today's incident were to be reported on the news, it would definitely be negative.

Not far away, the female star and her assistant were both unwilling to leave and wanted to say something. Wu Chenglin directly glanced at them and said to the crowd, "There's nothing interesting here, everyone disperse."

The first to leave was the female star and her group. They didn't say anything and left quietly. They didn't make a big fuss about the matter, nor did they come to trouble Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan also turned around and left. But before he had walked a hundred meters, he saw a car speeding towards him and stopping by the roadside. It was Old Cheng who arrived at the scene.

"Old Cheng, I'm going back first. It's roughly like this..." Wang Xuan talked to him on the phone, he didn't go over himself, just briefly explained the situation and prepared to leave.

"An accident, it's actually Old Wu. He's our cooperation partner this time. Little Wang, do you want to come over? Get familiar with him first, we'll definitely have dealings in the future." Old Cheng talked to Wang Xuan on the phone while looking towards the lake, somewhat surprised.Wang Xuan felt something was off. Last time, the exploration organization intercepted the Ling family, Zhou family, and Wu family at Qingcheng Mountain. How come they are cooperating now?

But he could understand that when interests align, even enemies can come together. Moreover, it is likely that both sides have a history of cooperation. The interception last time was secretly instigated by Old Cheng for Qing Mu to take action. The other party may not know about it.

"Old Cheng, I won't go. I forgot to tell you, I just kicked Old Wu's niece into the lake. You handle it. But don't betray me, otherwise, you can forget about the great opportunity of ascending to immortality. Even if I rot in my stomach, I won't tell you!"

Old Cheng heard this and clenched his teeth. As a well-known expert in the field of old techniques, he had people from New Planet coming to visit him. Yet, he had to personally deal with such a trivial matter, which made him lose face.

In the end, he walked over and called Wu Chenglin. The two of them went to have tea, leaving others to handle the matter by the lake.

The next day, which was Monday, Wang Xuan went to work as usual. He felt that this kind of life was about to end. He came to say goodbye to his colleagues, with whom he had spent a short time together.

Soon, Old Cheng also arrived, looking radiant. Compared to his appearance last time, when he was yawning, had big eye bags, and hadn't woken up yet, he looked completely different now. Old Cheng was full of energy.

"Old Cheng, it's been a long time. You look good. By the way, how is your study of the Book of Changes?" a colleague greeted him.

"That damn book, I've given up on it!" Old Cheng responded decisively. Then he directly called Wang Xuan out, ready to have a good chat.

"I'm at work," Wang Xuan said after coming out.

"I'll give you a long vacation. Take a good rest recently. It's a small matter," Old Cheng said warmly, fully exercising his authority to let him take some time off.

"In that case, why don't you change my environment? I want to go to New Planet," Wang Xuan spoke up. Instead of dragging it out, it's better to make a clean break. He had made up his mind.

Old Cheng turned to look at Wang Xuan, not expecting him to take the initiative to go to New Planet.

He rubbed his hands and said, "No problem, but the competition is fierce over there, especially with the heiress of the business consortium and the widow family."

Wang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Old Cheng, have you read too many novels from the old era? You should arrange it like this: when I go to New Planet, you should have the heiress of the business consortium be my bodyguard and let a stunning widow be my driver. That would be about right."

Old Cheng sighed, "Young people nowadays are impetuous. They don't understand the value of hard work and starting from scratch. They want to be a dragon crossing the river right away. Your demands are a bit high."

Wang Xuan looked at him seriously, as if he really could arrange it, and pretended to be profound, saying, "As someone who can uncover the truth of the transformation, don't you think you should arrange some top experts for me? My demands are not high."

"You have a point." Surprisingly, Old Cheng nodded and continued, "After you go to New Planet, I will arrange it for you."

Wang Xuan couldn't be bothered to respond. He thought that Old Cheng had completely abandoned his principles for the technique of ascending to immortality. He was earnestly spouting nonsense.

After thinking for a moment, Old Cheng said, "What do you think about the girl you kicked into the lake? Let her be your driver."

Wang Xuan ignored him. He didn't want to listen to his nonsense.

"Xiao Wang, it seems like you look down on me, Old Cheng, and our organization. In the past, it would indeed be difficult. But this time, it was requested by Old Wu. What's wrong with having that kicked girl as your driver? It can also help conceal your identity. If they cooperate, you are a crucial part. Why wouldn't they be willing? They will definitely cooperate."

Wang Xuan turned around abruptly and looked at Old Cheng. This old man had been urging him to go to New Planet before. It turned out that he had already planned some cooperation. Did he sell him out in advance?!

"Old Cheng, are you planning to dig up the Earth Immortal Grass? I won't participate in this operation!" Wang Xuan flatly refused. So many organizations on New Planet, as well as the powerful business consortium, have not been able to harvest the Earth Immortal Grass so far. It can be imagined how difficult it is. He didn't want to be cannon fodder.

Old Cheng laughed helplessly and said, "Where were you thinking? The Earth Immortal Grass plan is scheduled for later. It's not your turn yet. This operation is not dangerous. You have to trust my personal guarantee."

Wang Xuan looked at him and felt that he had too many unreliable ideas. He seemed a bit untrustworthy.

"Old Cheng, let's talk about business. Of course, let's make it clear first. Don't think about selling me to the Wu family. Otherwise, even if I pass on the technique of ascending to immortality to you, you will still encounter trouble later."Old Cheng was naturally willing to immediately listen to the secrets of the transformation Immortal method, but he added, "Little Wang, don't think I'm bluffing. This time, they indeed came to us for help. As a prominent figure in the field of ancient arts, I am worth their formal invitation. Now, they have further realized that some problems can only be solved by those who practice ancient arts."

"Old Cheng, seeing your confidence, how far have you progressed in your ancient arts?" Wang Xuan was genuinely curious.

Old Cheng smiled faintly, quite proud, and said, "Let's put it this way, compared to Sun Chengkun, who you fought against in the Black Mountain, even at his peak before he was severely injured, despite being around the same age as me, he always respectfully called me Teacher Cheng every time we met."

What the hell! Wang Xuan looked at him, seriously doubting whether this was true or false. Was Old Cheng really that formidable?

By this time, they had already walked to the abandoned machinery factory behind the design institute, where Old Cheng often came to fish in the pond.

"See that pile of abandoned steel machinery, and the large gears, shredders, etc.? When I was young, I often practiced my skills near there, smashing them with my bare hands." Old Cheng pointed to a pile of rusty machinery in front of him, a large mass of black, weighing who knows how many tons.

As he said this, he walked forward and patted a piece of scrap steel plate that was more than ten centimeters thick, saying, "I haven't made a move in many years."

Then he urged Wang Xuan to share the secrets of the transformation Immortal method with him.

Wang Xuan didn't plan to be perfunctory. This time, he intended to give Old Cheng a real benefit, so he directly demonstrated the boxing method passed down by the old monk.

As he demonstrated, he explained the first move. However, he couldn't bring out the real intention of the punch because it required the internal organs to vibrate and exert force. The difficulty was too high for him at this stage, so he could only describe it in words.

Old Cheng was an expert and was amazed as soon as he saw it. He exclaimed, "Impressive! It looks like the Great Vajra Fist, but it's definitely not. Even for me, it's challenging to practice. It's worth the challenge."

Wang Xuan only taught him one move and told him he could go back. The rest of the moves would be completed tomorrow.

"Alright, no rush. I'll find you tomorrow." Old Cheng nodded and hurried away, seemingly eager to practice.

Wang Xuan was speechless. What he meant was that the old monk with bleeding eyes would visit Old Cheng tonight. After a pleasant night together, Old Cheng should have learned everything.

After Old Cheng left, Wang Xuan also patted the steel plate that was more than ten centimeters thick. His face immediately changed. Where Old Cheng had just patted, steel slag fell down, completely turning into tiny fragments.

He was truly shocked, gasping in surprise. Was Old Cheng really that formidable?

Wang Xuan recalled that his old colleague didn't seem to use much force just now, just lightly patting it. This kind of strength was shocking and horrifying.

"Next time, I need to be nicer to Old Cheng. Being targeted by such an extremely dangerous old colleague is really a headache!" Wang Xuan sighed.

In the evening, Wang Xuan started nagging at home, telling the old monk that he could sit by Old Cheng's bed because Old Cheng often went to the New Planet and could help him fulfill his wish.

Early the next morning, Old Cheng came to find Wang Xuan. His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, bright and shiny. He questioned Wang Xuan, "Little Wang, you're good, you've harmed me again. Just after sending away a female Taoist, now you've sent me a ghost monk. What do you mean? I haven't even had a good sleep yet, and a new round has started!"

Wang Xuan was surprised, "Didn't he teach you that boxing method?"

Old Cheng was frustrated, "Teach what? He sat at the head of my bed, staring at me all night. Every time I tried to sleep, he would lean in and stare at me endlessly. It's not as good as the Heavenly Immortal last time, at least she kept her distance and was stunningly beautiful. Unlike this one, pitch black and emitting a rotten smell, he didn't say anything, just sat by my side and watched me!"

Considering Old Cheng's real strength was so formidable, Wang Xuan decided to be more serious, lest Old Cheng fail to get the method and go berserk. He detailed his own experience once again.

The next day, Old Cheng looked even more haggard. He came to find Wang Xuan in grief and anger, "Little Wang, you've set me up!"

"How did I set you up? I've told you everything in detail!" Wang Xuan felt truly wronged.

"I followed your experience and hit him in the head. As a result, he beat me up all night in my spiritual realm!" Old Cheng was desolate.
