Chapter 10, No. 28, Xingfu Avenue

Upon rising, he felt completely relaxed, as if he had taken a bath in water at a comfortable temperature, full of energy and radiating vitality

Before the words were finished, Zhou Zheng had already seated himself cross-legged, lost in his own thoughts

Zhou Zheng's voice had become much weaker: "Cough, cough, Director, I have encountered a slight health issue, I just got discharged from the hospital"

Isn't it said that for novice practitioners, it is quite difficult to enter such a state, to communicate with the heavens and the earth, and to harmonize with the spiritual energy

Or perhaps, Instructor Xiaoyue knows some things about his past life

Hello, sir. May I ask if you have an appointment? Our establishment only serves members and guests with prior reservations

Zhou Zheng glanced around and noticed many eye-catching beautiful women and handsome men

No need, " Ao Ying explained casually, " The memory of the dragon lineage will gradually awaken over time. The techniques and insights of our ancestors can be extracted from the bloodline memory. I just need to endure for a while, and in two years when I leap over the Dragon Gate, restoring my true dragon form will allow my bloodline to be sublimated

Immortal Bathing Center

The morning hours pass slowly

Aoying, do you not need to cultivate?

Zhou Zheng stretched his limbs, standing bare-chested and barefoot on the carpet, and attempted to throw a punch at the air in front of him

A strand of Ao Ying's voice penetrated into Zhou Zheng's ear

After several twists and turns, wandering left and right, Zhou Zheng entered a bustling courtyard and successfully found his destination for this trip

Zhou Zheng turned his head and asked a question, his eyes filled with curiosity

Although Ao Ying knew that Zhou Zheng attached great importance to this matter, she never expected that—

Have you used the elixir today? How many days have you been in seclusion? Fellow cultivator, we shall meet again on the path of immortality

How?" Ao Ying's gaze flickered.

Ao Ying smiled lightly, yet she did not continue to forcefully guide Zhou Zheng, instead drifting to a sofa not far behind.

Ao Ying employed the method of transformation, at this moment transforming into a thumb-sized jade stone in the shape of a carp, remaining in the pocket of Zhou Zheng's coat, making every effort to avoid going out and thus exposing her whereabouts

With a clear head and bright eyes, one begins to understand the joy of cultivation

Alright, alright

The lobby is adorned in resplendent gold and brilliance, with the three-story high ceilings showcasing the luxury of a five-star hotel. The perfectly placed lighting and the melodious Western music create an atmosphere of a certain 'elegance'.

She stood tall and poised, gracefully nodding slightly to Zhou Zheng

Hmm? Is that true or not?

Zhou Zheng nodded seriously, feeling rather indifferent; at this moment, only two thoughts circulated in his mind

... ...

The title she spoke of has changed to

"As you mentioned earlier, Instructor Xiaoyue also came to my rescue at that time," Zhou Zheng said with a smile. "Now that I am out of danger, I should pay a visit to express my gratitude, and moreover..."

The waitress lowered her head and quickly typed on the keyboard, soon producing something resembling a room card, which she smiled and handed to Zhou Zheng

Heavens! The fish has bitten someone!

Ao Ying pondered slightly and said softly, "Your considerations are indeed more thorough."

As soon as he got off the vehicle, he carefully surveyed the surroundings, trying to ascertain the approximate location of his destination for this trip

She took a liking to the "survival supplies" in the kitchen refrigerator. While Zhou Zheng had his eyes closed and continued to search for his state, she quietly floated over and sealed off that narrow area with a barrier

Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Please wait a moment while I change into something more formal... Yes, I also need to send a message to Instructor Xiaoyue to schedule a time in advance as a sign of respect

The driver poked his head out of the car window and said, "Teacher! Please settle the fare!"

Zhou Zheng found the text message replied by Xiao Yue on his phone and took a few deep breaths

Zhou Zheng verbally emphasized, and the two quickly dashed back to the bedroom, feeling a bit embarrassed

The car door opened, and the pristine limited edition sneakers were the first to touch the ground, revealing a brand new pair of gray sweatpants.

She is unafraid of demons; she simply does not want to cause any more trouble for Zhou Zheng.

I never expected that cultivation could be so enjoyable

First, attend to the important matters

Secondly, what details should he pay attention to in order to quickly integrate with these practitioners and immortals

Ao Ying pouted in dissatisfaction: "This person, hmm, this fellow is so rude, and he interrupted Zhou's rare state of cultivation."

She is still brooding over the phone call that interrupted Zhou Zheng's initial training.

Please remember to communicate clearly in advance from now on

Please present your identification document, as well as the verification code sent to you by that adult... Here is your appointment registration information, please confirm it in detail.

At the center behind the door is a passage with an amber texture, with two shallow pools on each side. Floating in the pools are a few lotus flowers, and at the edges, misting devices are spraying white mist

Of course

The neatly trimmed short hair exudes a faint lemon fragrance from the shampoo, while Zhou Zheng's delicate and handsome face appears slightly tense

"I will go wherever you go," Ao Ying said with a smile.

"Well, I am here to find someone," Zhou Zheng said, "The person I am looking for is called 'Unity of Heaven and Man.'"

Starting off with a misstep instead of a clean cut is rather ungraceful

I apologize for the interruption

According to the customary greetings among neighbors, it consists of three main questions: Have you eaten? What are you going to do? See you later.

Zhou Zheng was savoring the joy of his recent meditation, and he said excitedly:

Where have you been, Zhou Zheng? Ah! It's been a few days and I haven't seen you! Are you still going to do your work? Do you really think that your iron rice bowl won't be broken?

He had actually taken leave before

A soft laugh emerged from the pocket of his jacket

After the irritable uncle on the other end of the phone finished shouting, Zhou Zheng smiled and offered several apologies, explaining that he had been seriously ill for the past few days and had not yet fully recovered

They walked by seemingly at random, with smiles that were either confident or shy at the corners of their mouths, providing the photographer holding the equipment with excellent side-shot angles.

Ao Ying blinked her eyes, and a smile quickly blossomed at the corners of her mouth as she continued to focus on the tasks at hand.

The mediocre mortal revealed a sheepish smile, bowing his head to continue his diligent practice

28 Xingfu Avenue

Zhou Zheng's meditation lasted until noon

Zhou Zheng asked: "By the way, did Instructor Xiaoyue say anything? About my interview."

Accompanied by a melodious sound of music, Zhou Zheng stepped into the elevator

Only when the body is completely relaxed did I confidently step onto the stairs and push open the two thick brown glass doors

Thank you, Zhou Zheng replied with a smile, unsure whether he should clasp his fist in greeting

Can he come again

Zhou Zheng quickly turned around to take out his phone and scanned the code to make the payment to the driver

Zhou Zheng murmured softly, holding his phone and starting to search for the map

Ao Ying was still dressed in an ancient skirt paired with embroidered shoes, her figure slowly descending at this moment. With her delicate little feet clad in embroidered shoes, she lightly landed and stood beside Zhou Zheng.

There are several spiritual beings here, but none of them possess malevolent energy; they are likely friendly towards humans and permitted by the Alliance of the Revived Heavens to exist in the city

Bubbles emerged from the back of Zhou Zheng's head, revealing a beautiful composition of tying a rope to a fish, followed by a slight pain in his chest

This is clearly a bath that cannot be taken

It is me

A glimmer of jade light flew out from his jacket pocket,凝成了敖莹的身形.

Underground

Two hours had passed since Zhou Zheng was interrupted in his practice by a phone call, and a gentle breeze once again wafted through the living room

I will try again! As for the state of things, there is certainly bound to be a second time!

Isn't this a bit too conspicuous

First, how to leave a good impression on the interviewer

Zhou Zheng smiled with narrowed eyes: "In this day and age, finding a job is too difficult. I must first secure my next position, ensuring that I can put food on the table, before I return the previous job."

Why concern oneself with others' cultivation when one has no issues of their own

The other party hung up the phone while continuously complaining

Like the heroes in martial arts films

Many influencers come here for street photography

Extra care should not be excessive; it is probably akin to the benevolent concern of an immortal for a mortal

Zhou Zheng could not help but feel a bit more interested, glancing around a few more times, yet he could not discern which one was the spirit

Just as he was about to leave, the waitress smiled and reminded him

fellow cultivator

A roar emanated from the phone's earpiece

It seems that there is another presence about you. Please allow the spiritual object you are carrying to take human form within the elevator. If it has not yet transformed, please secure it with a rope.

Zhou Zheng originally wanted to ask Ao Ying about the cultivation level of the girl who had just received them, but he felt it was somewhat abrupt as the words were on the tip of his tongue

During an interview, it is essential to maintain a relaxed mindset

I actually hope to start my formal cultivation soon, " Zhou Zheng actively invited, " I want to go find the immortals for an interview right now, would you like to join me?

Do not think wildly

The waitress's eyes lit up as she looked up and down at Zhou Zheng: "Are you Mr. Zhou Zheng?"

"Well, since you have already decided to pursue cultivation and have expressed your desire to join Xiaoyue and the others, why not directly resign from your previous position in the mundane world"

It has a hint of the flavor of a 'cultivation base'

Zhou Zheng tried to hold the phone further away, his expression slightly showing helplessness

Is the version of polite exchanges in the realm of immortality possibly... ...

The other party's tone softened: "Xiao Zhou, are you really sick? Aren't you just slacking off and hiding at home playing games?"

Straight ahead, the female receptionist dressed in a qipao slowly stood up behind the counter

Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, then looked up at Ao Ying and asked, "Is it convenient to go out now?"

It was also thanks to Ao Ying's reminder that Zhou Zheng did not dare to continue practicing in this manner, as he had not yet acquired a formal cultivation method

Aoying, who had already put on a checkered apron over her ancient skirt, looked at Zhou Zheng with a hint of surprise

Xingfu Avenue is indeed bustling, with shops crowded together and buildings adjacent to one another, where luxury brands are ubiquitous, and there are numerous establishments unrelated to the basic survival needs of humanity

The girl who came from the sea is somewhat eager to try.

He swiped the room card without paying further attention to anything else, the elevator buttons showed no response, yet the elevator closed on its own and began to descend slowly.

Well, a sense of composure

Her expression was somewhat serious as she glanced downwards at an angle and said softly

Since we are already here, we must take a look inside

It seems that after passing through security, Ao Ying transformed into a beam of golden light and once again burrowed into Zhou Zheng's jacket pocket

It is surprising that a boy can take an entire hour to change his clothes

The yellow taxi slowly came to a stop at the entrance of the old pedestrian street

To be honest, if it weren't for the previous parking lot incident, and with a little fairy by his side, Zhou Zheng would probably be doubting that Xiao Yue is a 'bath attendant' by now

There are some cake layers with burnt surfaces in the kitchen

It cannot be said to be completely powerless; it can only be said to have made little progress

Dear friend, please walk straight ahead, the third elevator on your left, just swipe your card and you won't need to worry about anything else

The local practitioners are truly impolite

She has indeed become much more cautious

Breathing smoothly, one ultimately understands the many joys of nature

As a leader, please try to understand

It merely said, "Find a suitable time to visit it," Ao Ying said with a smile, "I don't know why, but I always feel that this celestial being from the Tengu clan pays special attention to you"

He originally planned to dress in a suit and leather shoes, but after much deliberation, he ultimately decided to dress more casually

The security here is quite strict; we have already passed three hidden sentries, and there are six or seven layers of formations alone

One should express recognition and respect for the upcoming job while also demonstrating confidence, ideally conveying a sense of composure as if to say, 'If this place does not welcome me, I will simply sell sweet potatoes elsewhere'

Approximately one hour later

A striving young man sits on the ground, exploring the path of cultivation that belongs to him in this life

Thus

You should download the leave request form from the company's official website, fill it out, and send it to me as soon as possible... Honestly, every day, the young people nowadays are just not reliable!

Zhou Zheng took out his phone and displayed a series of uppercase numbers to the other party

Zhou Zheng peered through the glass door, surveying the luxurious decor inside, then looked up at the more than twenty-story tall building, repeatedly confirming the doorplate hanging on the wall beside him

Immortal Bathing Center

Thank you, I appreciate it

A leisurely and relaxed beautiful young girl is lying on the sofa, her two small feet gently swaying. Beside her are snacks, and in front of her is a cookbook, as she begins to explore the realm of pastry cooking

plug, lanyard

The elevator trembled slightly, a green light illuminated on the panel, and the elevator doors slowly opened before Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng let out a gentle sigh and made a victory sign with his fingers to Ao Ying beside him
