Chapter 74 Here’s something good for you

Ling Yun brought his sandalwood box and iPhone 5 back to his room, before piercing the nine golden needles and all the silver needles on to his leather sling bag. To him, products of high quality are supposed to be used effectively, and not to just be put on display. He then proceeded to charge his iPhone 5, so that he would be able to start using it as soon as possible.

After that, Ling Yun walked out of his room and walked over to Tang Meng, who had been squatting beside the pond washing a yellow croaker. “Hey, are you done washing the fish yet?”

Tang Meng had never done any household chores prior to this. His eyes teared up as his nose was fused by the fishy smell.

“Nevermind! I’ll do it. Watch and learn!” Ling Yun told him as he squatted down. He held the yellow croaker in one hand, scissors in the other. Within three minutes, he had already cleared the fish’s scales, dissected the body and removed the innards from within the fish.

Tang Meng could only look on from the side and be amazed by Ling Yun’s speed and skills. “Did you happen to work at a banquet before? You must have plenty of experience to be able to sort the fish out within just those few minutes!” Tang Meng remarked as Ling Yun washed the scissors under the running tap.

Ling Yun raised his head and looked straight ahead, as he lost himself in his own thoughts. He had picked up the skills to find and prepare his own food back in Cultivation World when he was either meditating, slaying monsters or running away from his enemies. He had made himself dishes like stewed king cobra meat and steamed black bear’s paws. The yellow croaker was nothing to him, for his record was preparing an eight-meter long water demon as lunch.

Reminiscing how powerful he was, to be able to split the sea and mountains, and be able to roam around the sky as if he was a shooting star, Ling Yun experienced a short sting inside his heart knowing he could not return to that level of greatness. He returned to reality and decided that all he could do now was to get stronger every day here.

Will I be able to level up to level two? With good luck, Level three might also be worth a try. From Level one to nine, there would be an incredibly tough challenge every three levels. Level one to three, which mainly focuses on the various physical developments of the body, should not be too difficult to progress through as long there is enough spiritual energy in the body.

Once Ling Yun reaches Level three, he would be able to inject spiritual energy into the victims’ body through the silver needles he has, instead of the awkward method he had to resort to in order to save Lao Xue.

At level four, he will have the ability to transfuse the spiritual energy inside his body. The spiritual energy inside his body will follow a fixed line of practice and flow through the meridians all over his body. This will result in a more effective and speedier self-cultivation process when Ling Yun practices the Dayan Great Stars Technique. This was exactly the reason why Ling Yun was so confident he would be able to reach his physical peak in two months’ time.

Ling Yun smiled with a tinge of confidence before posing Tang Meng a question. “I’m intending to rent an apartment near our school, can you help me out?”

“Huh? Rent an apartment? What would you need that for?” Tang Meng was curious.

“So do you want to help? If not, I’ll just ask someone else instead” Ling Yun frowned.

What if the two of them have something ongoing between them? Cao Shanshan does not look like the wild kind of girl though… Tang Meng pondered to himself while thinking back about what this scandalous pair were doing to each other yesterday evening.

“Of course! Of course, I’ll help! I’ll do anything you ask me to! But is there anything specific you are looking for in a house?” Tang Meng eagerly replied, guessing that he was probably right about them.

“It must not be too far from school, but has to be remote. Such that the traffic flow in the vicinity is low.” Ling Yun chose not to reveal the true reason.

Remote? Low traffic flow? There has to be something on between them. Looking back at Ling Yun, Tang Meng grinned, “Don’t worry boss, leave this to me! I’ll settle this tonight! But let me put it out there first, I will not be paying for you.”

“Of course you need not pay, you just have to help me settle this as fast as possible. I want to move in next Monday night!” Ling Yun said.

“No problem, boss!” Tang Meng assured as he pounded his fist on to his own chest.

Ling Yun nodded his head, before smirking back at Tang Meng. he felt uneasy. Every time Ling Yun gave that face, something spectacular, be it good or bad, will happen.

He’s definitely up to no good. Tang Meng thought to himself.

True enough. Ling Yun placed his wet arms around Tang Meng’s shoulder and asked him politely. “Since you are going to help me with this, I’ll offer you something good I have with me, see you if want it?”

What is this ‘something good’? What is it? Tang Meng got tempted, at the same time anxious. But it was not his fault, after all, everyone knew what Ling Yun could do to a person if he felt like it.

“Come on bro, don’t get so uptight! It’s nothing bad!” Ling Yun winked at him. “I have two handphone numbers and I intend to give you one. Do you want it?” Ling Yun had got himself four handphone numbers. His mother, sister and himself had taken three and there’s only one left.

Tang Meng heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was fine and that he had thought too much of it. But his own number is already cool and impressive enough as it ends with four eights. Only Gou Junfa’s number, which ends with five sixes, was that bit more impressive than his. He did not believe the number which Ling Yun had offered to him would be any cooler.

“Alright then! It’s fine if you do not want it! I can sell it at three to five million bucks easily!” Ling Yun was disappointed at his friend for not being appreciative of his goodwill.

Tang Meng, on the other hand, was confused. Sell at three to five million dollars? That number must be something so special to fetch that price tag! He got his own number ending with four eights by begging his mother diligently to use her relations, where they still had to fork out three million. How is it possible for Ling Yun to possess one with such high value? Tang Meng thought.

“Boss, it is not that I do not want it, but my number is already one of the coolest in this school…”

“Wow, there’re a lot of stars tonight! They are twinkling so brightly…” Ling Yun interrupted Tang Meng’s statement.

“Fine boss, fine. Could you please tell me the numbers? I promise to consider it, so long it is not worse than mine!” Tang Meng’s curiosity over the number deepened.

“Hmm…I wonder how Mum is going to cook that lobster for dinner. Can’t wait!” Ling Yun continued to ignore Tang Meng as if he was not present at all.

“Boss! I’ll take it! I’ll take it! You do not have to sell to anyone! I’ll buy it! But tell me the number!” Tang Meng gave up negotiating and chose to give in to Ling Yun.

“Oh…it’s nothing too fanciful actually! Just a number ending with six eights!” Ling Yun finally exposed what was unique about the number.

“What? Six eights at the back? How is that even possible? No matter how rich you are, you might still not be able to get numbers like this! You would need very deep connections with all the right people!” Tang Meng was simultaneously stunned and impressed with Ling Yun.” It was virtually impossible to receive a number that ends with six eights unless you held a very reputable and famous identity.

How in the world did Ling Yun get his hands on that number?! Tang Meng was going crazy. If he were to get his hands on the number with six eights, he would look so cool and impressive in the eyes of the whole of Qingshui City. Even Gou Junfa’s digits would look inferior in comparison.

Thinking about how he could use this magnificent string of numbers to dial his acquaintances, especially those more privileged, he became increasingly excited. People would find him majestic and awesome. He would do anything to get his hands on that phone number.

His agitated voice attracted the attention of Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu, who were both making dinner in the kitchen.

“Boss! You’re not joking with me, right? You do really have a number ending with six eights, don’t you?” Tang Meng casually placed his hands on Ling Yun’s shoulder and queried.

Ling Yun was finally pleased with Tang Meng’s decision, before looking calmly into his eyes. “Isn’t it just a phone number? Do you really have to make a big issue out of it? Come here, let’s sit down and talk…”

“No boss! Where is that phone number now? Let me have a look first!” Tang Meng could not wait to take a look at those magnificent six eights.
