Chapter 58 The Man Behind the Scenes

  Lin San's clothes instantly turned to dust and sank to the bottom of the river, his hair slowly turned white, then red, blue... a total of 7 colors, finally turning back to black. What was most shocking was that Lin San's skin began to peel off, starting with his arms, then his shoulders, until his entire body was peeling...

  Lin San's skin became crystal clear and translucent after shedding his skin, emitting a dazzling aura that was almost blinding.

  Seeing Lin San's transformation, Guangyuanzi nodded in satisfaction, took a light breath, and the white light in his palm instantly transformed into countless fine lines. Guangyuanzi lightly spat out: "Break!" Hundreds of rays of light instantly pierced Lin San's acupoints all over his body.

  At this time, Lin San had his eyes tightly closed, his expression calm and peaceful, his breathing even, without a hint of pain on his face.

  Guangyuanzi stood by the river, using his profound immortal methods to forcibly replace Lin San's marrow and pulse, clearing all the meridians in his body.

  Three whole days have passed.

  "Boom!" A dull sound, the river water splashed more than a zhang high, Lin San slowly rose from the river water, constantly rotating in mid-air, the spiritual energy around him quickly drilling into his body. In an instant, Lin San's body began to swell, with the danger of exploding at any moment.

  "Ah..." Guangyuanzi let out a gentle breath, glanced at Lin San in mid-air, and with a wave of his hand, a strong gust of wind blew up from the ground, dispersing the spiritual energy that was crazily drilling into Lin San's body. Then, Guangyuanzi reached out to catch Lin San as he slowly descended, gently placing him on the ground.

  At this time, Guangyuanzi's face was somewhat pale, and his hair was also a bit disheveled. After putting down Lin San, Guangyuanzi sat cross-legged on the ground, with both hands flat on his knees, closed his eyes, and began to meditate to recover his magical powers.

  After an unknown period of time, Lin San let out a low moan and slowly opened his eyes.

  "Huh?" Lin San saw himself naked and was suddenly shocked: "What's going on here?"

  At this time, Guo Yuanzi also opened his eyes and swept a glance at Lin San: "You finally woke up, I thought you were going to sleep for the rest of your life."

  "Great Immortal, what's going on? Why am I naked?" Lin San looked at Guang Yuanzi with a somewhat strange gaze, and secretly wondered: Could this Guang Yuanzi be a homosexual?

  If Guangyuanzi knew what Lin San was thinking, he would probably slap Lin San to death: "I just spent a lot of spiritual power to help you open up your meridians and taught you some spells. From now on, you can practice spells smoothly."

  "Ah?" Lin San's eyes suddenly opened wide: "Great Immortal... you're not joking with me, are you?"

  Guangyuan glared at Lin San: "Do I look like I'm joking? If you don't believe me, you can try testing my current abilities right now."

  "How do I try?" Lin San asked subconsciously.

  "Stand up." Guangyuanzi ordered.

  Lin San stood up from the ground.

  "Look straight at the mountain slope in front of you, stretch out your hands, eliminate distractions... destroy the mountain slope with your own thoughts." Guangyuanzi said word by word.

  Lin San followed Guang Yu Zi's words, stretched out his hands, gazed at the mountain slope in front of him, concentrated his attention, and shouted loudly in his heart: "Break!"

  "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two green lights shot out from Lin San's palms and struck the mountain slope in front of him in an instant.

  "Boom!!" A loud noise, the mountain slope instantly turned into a pile of powder, blown by the wind, disappeared without a trace, and a huge stone pit appeared in the original position of the mountain slope.

  Lin San stared at his own hands in incredulity, his whole body numb. Had he really unleashed that astonishing blow just now?

  "How's that? Now do you believe me?! To infuse you with magical powers and open up your meridians, I've exhausted myself to the point of suffocation. Even if you kill me in the future, I won't teach any ordinary person how to cultivate immortal arts again." Guǎng Yuánzi spat, today Guǎng Yuánzi had done something that went against heaven.

  It took Lin San a long time to calm down, his heart was extremely excited, he grabbed Guang Yuanzi's sleeve and thanked him repeatedly. Lin San had never dreamed that he would also become an immortal cultivator, it was truly exhilarating.

  Guangyuanzi pushed Lin San away and said disgustedly: "Don't say those cheesy words anymore, listening to them makes my skin crawl."

  "Great Immortal, what level have I reached now?" Lin San was somewhat curious, having been modified by Guangyuanzi, he didn't know what standard he had reached.

  Guangyuanzi thought for a moment: "You're probably at the tenth level of Qi Refining and Foundation Building now."

  "What? The tenth layer? Doesn't that mean I can condense the Golden Elixir soon?" Lin San exclaimed in surprise. Cultivating Qi and building the foundation consists of ten layers, breaking through the tenth layer allows one to condense the Golden Elixir. Once condensed into a Golden Elixir, Lin San would truly enter the ranks of cultivators, becoming a genuine Half-Sage body, with his lifespan increasing by several times.

  Guangyuanzi smiled: "You really think it's simple, first of all, your current realm is not stable, and you haven't even reached the conditions for breaking through the Golden Elixir stage. Secondly, the Golden Elixir stage is not that easy to break through. I advise you, calm down, cultivate well, and wait until you reach the Great Completion realm after cultivating the tenth layer of Qi Refining and Foundation Building. Then consider breaking through the Golden Elixir stage." Guangyuanzi said, Lin San had just reached the tenth layer of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, his realm was unstable, and it was absolutely impossible to directly break through the Golden Elixir stage.

  After listening to Guangyuanzi's words, Lin San couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

  Glancing at Lin San, Guang Yuansu said: "You should be content with what you have. Even if you haven't reached the Golden Elixir stage yet, with your current strength, you can absolutely dominate in the mortal world and basically no one can restrain you."

  "Is it that fierce?" Lin San's eyes lit up.

  "Do I need to deceive you? However, I must remind you that you absolutely cannot use the immortal method I passed on to you to do evil and harm others. If I find out, I will definitely make you disappear into thin air!" Guang Yuanzi's expression suddenly turned serious.

  Lin San guaranteed that he would absolutely not do anything bad, Lin San's personality is a bit uninhibited and unconventional, but at the bottom of his heart, he still has a strong sense of justice and would never do anything that harms others or goes against reason.

  Next, Guangyuanzi instructed Lin San a few more sentences. Then, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Lin San. The book recorded various magical techniques such as invisibility, flight, thunder control, wind and rain summoning... There were dozens of techniques recorded in the book, all very practical ones. However, with Lin San's current strength, he could only practice a few simple techniques from the book, such as invisibility and flight. As for those thunder control and wind and rain summoning techniques, they required Lin San to condense his golden elixir before he could practice them.

  Guangyuanzi today was very patient and explained all the spells recorded in the book to Lin San.

  Lin San's memory has also improved a lot since being reformed by Guang Yuansu, and he remembers every word that Guang Yuansu explained deeply in his mind.

  The two of them sat by the river, asking and answering each other, talking for several hours.

  "That's all for now." Guangyuanzi patted the dust off his robe and stood up from the ground.

  Lin San also hastily got up and put the book recording the use of magic into his arms.

  "You go out, I'm leaving." Guangyuanzi said calmly.

  "Ah? Great Immortal, why don't you stay for two more days?" Lin San invited.

  Guangyuanzi slightly shook his head: "Leaving early or late is the same, today we part ways, I don't know when we'll meet again. Lin San, you and I meeting is also a kind of fate. Before I leave, I want to give you one sentence, remember it well: Learning immortal techniques is a matter that tests one's willpower, I hope you can persist until the end!" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Lin San to respond, and with a wave of his hand, he threw Lin San out of the jade pendant.

  "Bang!" With a loud noise, Lin San's vision blurred for a moment, and he suddenly found himself in his own living room. Yu Pei and Guang Yuanzi had vanished into thin air. Lin San reached into his pocket and touched the book, whispering to himself: "Great Immortal, rest assured, I will definitely cultivate the immortal techniques well and won't disappoint you!"

  After finding a set of clothes to wear at home, Lin San hastily left the house and hadn't gone to work at Ding Sheng Group for several days. Gu Jialan was probably worried sick.

  Arriving at Ding Sheng Group, Lin San directly took the elevator to the 29th floor and knocked on the door of Gu Jialan's office.

  "Lin San, where have you been running to these past few days? I was worried to death. If you didn't show up today, I was going to report it to the police." Seeing Lin San suddenly appear in the office, Gu Jialan's face showed a surprised expression.

  "Jialan, sorry about that, something came up at home and I was delayed for a few days... Hmm, nothing's happened in the company these past few days, right?" Lin San asked.

  Gu Jialan shook his head: "The company's situation is very bad, every day there are still government personnel coming to inspect, now several subsidiaries have been sealed off, just last night, the company's glass was smashed by stones......" As soon as he mentioned the company's recent situation, Gu Jialan got a headache.

  Lin San furrowed his brow: "Who is targeting Ding Sheng Group after all?"

  Gujalan looked at Lin San for a moment, opened her mouth, and seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San noticed that Gu Jialan was a bit off.

  "Alas..." Gu Jialan sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Qin Hao called me yesterday..."

  Lin Sanyi was stunned: "Qin Hao? Could it be that Qin Hao has been behind all the strange things happening recently?"

  Gu Jialan nodded: "That's right, Qin Hao admitted it on the phone. He instructed the government departments of Lanzhou City to investigate Ding Sheng Group and seal off its branch companies. It was also Qin Hao who made things go wrong. Qin Hao said that as long as I agreed to marry him, he would immediately stop all acts of revenge."

  "How can this Qin Hao direct the government departments of Donglan City?" Lin San asked in puzzlement.

  Qin Hao's uncle is the vice governor. Gu Jialan explained that after receiving Qin Hao's phone call yesterday, he immediately told Gu Changfeng, who then called Qin Shenghan, hoping he could stop Qin Hao's revenge. However, Qin Shenghan didn't answer Gu Changfeng's calls, which made him so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. Having no other choice, Gu Changfeng went to seek help from some officials in Lanzhou City, but what made him feel cold was that those officials who usually called each other brothers now all showed a distant attitude. Some said they were too busy and had no time to see Qin Shenghan, while others claimed to be on business trips and avoided him altogether. There were even worse ones who didn't even answer his phone calls.

  Within just one short week, Ding Sheng Group lost hundreds of millions.
