Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 686 - 642: Transformation

Nankai City Mechanical Processing Factory.

A burst of noise came from outside.

One could faintly hear some shouting, "No invitation, no entry."

"Invitation? Do I need an invitation to come to my son’s factory? I think this security guard doesn’t want to work here anymore! Move aside immediately!"

"This is outrageous, what future is there staying in such a rundown factory all day? Skipping family gatherings and not mingling socially, now you even dare to ignore calls from your elders? Are you trying to turn the world upside down!?"

These voices were all too familiar without exception.

Besides the voice of the captain of the professional security team hired for one hundred thousand a month, the other two came from his parents and relatives.

For a moment, Xie Yusheng, who was searching "how to penetrate the defense zone of a three-carrier fleet" online, had to turn his gaze away from the computer and walked out of the office with a headache.

At this point, ten people had already gathered in the hall.

Besides the four security guards, the remaining six were his family members.

Mother, Zhang Zixue, aunt, Zhang Zixuan, uncle, Xie Dong’an, and his sister, Xie Yurou.

"Mom, Aunt, Uncle, why are you here?"

Xie Yusheng said somewhat helplessly.

In fact, he had already guessed the reason for their visit.

Zhang Zixue snorted heavily, "I shouldn’t come? If I didn’t come, this son of mine would be lost. What, you’ve grown older and don’t listen to anyone anymore? Not replying to texts, not answering calls? Are you trying to severe our mother-son relationship?"

"Mom, how could that be? It’s just that I’ve been too busy to notice."

Xie Yusheng quickly explained.

"Too busy to notice? Missing it once or twice, but three, four, ten or eight times, it’s highly unlikely you missed all of them! I think you are just using your capabilities as an excuse, growing arrogant, afraid we might ask you for help, and now you want to cut us off completely!"

Zhang Zixuan voiced her dissatisfaction on one side.

"That’s not the case."

Xie Yusheng waved his hand, "It’s really just because I’ve been too busy."

"No matter how busy you are, it doesn’t take all your time just to return a phone call, does it?"

Zhang Zixue stared at Xie Yusheng, a look of disappointment on her face, "I really don’t know what you’re thinking in your head! What’s so bad about Qiao Siyu? The Qiao Group has developed rapidly over the years and is now one of the top 500 enterprises in the country. As the princess of the Qiao Group, she’s shown interest in you, a blessing from your ancestors, and yet you are ignoring her affections and missing invitations repeatedly..."

Xie Yusheng looked as though he expected this reaction.

However, he still patiently said, "Qiao Siyu and I really aren’t compatible... "

"Not compatible, how? Qiao Siyu is suitable for you in terms of looks, status, and upbringing, and you... well, appearance aside, having inherited the excellent genes of your parents, and now also a member of what’s that project group, reportedly you’re a Level 7 civil servant? Achieving so much at such a young age is no small feat, the two of you are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Xie Yusheng had not finished speaking when Zhang Zixuan took over the conversation.

On the side, his sister Xie Yurou also chimed in, "Yes, brother, if Qiao Siyu wasn’t deeply in love with you, how could she have waited for six years? How many sixth years are there in a lifetime?"

"Waited for me for six years?"

Xie Yusheng’s mouth twitched, "She was studying abroad and waiting for me?"

"She stayed chaste abroad, isn’t that for you?"

Xie Yurou said.

"And her ambiguous ties with Jin Yuming from Golden Dragon Group, is that also for me?"

"Being unenvied is the mark of mediocrity; Sister Qiao Siyu is slandered only because she is outstanding. These are merely gossipy rumors, none supported by solid evidence. Being famous invites gossip, Sister Qiao Siyu has suffered unjustly from the outside world, and now even you don’t trust her, how hurt she must be?"

"Ha... I don’t need to say more about the truth, you all know it in your hearts."

Xie Yusheng scoffed, "If you really want to cling to the Qiao Family, go ahead, I won’t stop you."

"Xie Yusheng!"

At this moment, the usually silent Xie Dong’an said sternly, "If you won’t think about yourself, think about Grandpa at least."

"What does this have to do with Grandpa?"

Xie Yusheng said.

"It has a lot to do with him."

Xie Dong’an explained, "Grandpa is getting older, and his health is declining day by day. If this continues, I fear he won’t last many more years. There is only one way to reverse this situation: to enter the True Immortal Research Institute and gain access to the Cultivation Method that everyone at the institute can access."

"Foundation Establishment Cultivation."

Xie Yusheng understood Xie Dong’an’s intention.

The True Immortal Research Institute had confirmed that anyone who practices Foundation Establishment will experience a significant enhancement in life cells. According to model estimates, after reaching Perfection in Foundation Establishment, one can live up to two hundred years.

However, due to the lack of sufficient Yuan on Blue Star, stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm requires consuming a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

In a situation where resources obviously aren’t enough, they must be "centrally supplied" to those with "talent."

As for how to distinguish talent...

It naturally depends on one’s status.

In this situation, the Cultivation Method is tightly sealed and has not been leaked.

Ordinary people are completely unaware of the existence of the Foundation Establishment Technique; even elite classes like the Xie Family have only heard some information.

To enter the True Immortal Research Institute and get the technique, one would either need an extraordinary background, like Zhao Qilin and the Zhao Family or possess truly exceptional talent like Qiao Ningyun, who benefits from the first wave of Cultivation privileges.
