Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Irresistible Temptation!

Su Ping left Little Taoist Zhouxuan in the Pot Cave Heaven to continue his efforts.

He himself first spent a day traveling between the two realms, using up the fishing opportunities for the week.

This week, the fishing points in both places refreshed a total of 120 times, yielding 80 Little Green Fish and 40 Big Bluefish.

At the same time, his current fishing experience had improved:

[Current Fishing Level: 3 (440/1000)]

Afterward, Su Ping returned from the reservoir fishing point to East King Temple for a brief rest, but he did not hurry back to the Immortal Cultivation World.

Instead, he retraced the route he had originally taken to the border once more.

However, this time, armed with information gathered through various means including the Spiritual Rats, Su Ping already had a candidate in mind for his next plan.

He sent out the Spiritual Rats, White and Grey, with invitation letters, dispatching this fortunate opportunity for spiritual fate to these lucky individuals!

Several hours later.

In a county town over a hundred kilometers away from Yushu City.

At the top floor of the tallest hotel in the place, which was completely closed off to the public and converted into a luxurious flat suite, in one of the bathrooms.

President Huang, who had just woken up and was accustomed to soaking in a hot bath before dealing with work, had just entered the bathroom. His gaze drifted from the bathtub, already filled with hot water by the smart system, to a small round table nearby with red wine and wine glasses.

On that pale white round table, a black business card had mysteriously appeared at some point.

President Huang’s pupils slightly constricted. Being older now made him more cautious, and his memory was still exceptional.

In his mind, he was sure that the card had not been there when he left the room last night.

Was this… Had someone broken in during the night to place it there?

Various speculations flashed through President Huang’s mind for a moment.

He was a real estate mogul, and his empire encompassed every aspect of living in the county town, making him a local tyrant of sorts.

However, he always kept a low profile. In his later years, he became more involved in charitable activities, and his luxuries were indulged in secret.

Lately, he had even downsized his business dealings to avoid confrontations; he had been so cautious, how could he possibly attract such deadly adversaries?

It just didn’t add up!

President Huang didn’t rush to examine the card.

Instead, he picked up his phone and unfolded it into the size of a tablet. Then, he opened the video feed.

One must say, this tycoon was ruthless enough to have installed concealed cameras even in his own bathroom.

Then, President Huang’s eyes widened as he saw a scene that cracked the worldview he had built over his lifetime.

The black business card had floated gently above the floor an hour earlier, and then drifted along the legs of the table until it reached the top, where it finally fluttered down lightly.

“Did this black business card fly over here by itself?”

“Is there now a drone designed like this? No, that’s impossible, the card is too thin to be a drone!”

At this moment, a bold possibility uncontrollably emerged in President Huang’s muddled mind:

“Has this business card become sentient?”

President Huang’s gaze shifted back to the black business card on the table, and his breathing quickened.

He walked over and picked up the card.

The next instant, he realized something was amiss!

The black business card had a message appear right on his retina the moment his fingers touched it:

[Tonight at Midnight, listen to my sound, those with fate proceed, those without retreat]

President Huang gripped the black business card tightly, feeling an inexplicable sensation that it was of utmost importance to him!

As an elderly man who clearly felt his physical and mental energies waning and feared the approaching steps of death, he often found himself hoping for mystical solutions.

Over the years, President Huang and his friends had not skimped on donations to various temples and Taoist temples to find peace of mind.

Furthermore, in recent years, he had followed others in sponsoring all necessary resources for a monk who was reputed to be genuinely accomplished in his spiritual practices.

Some people had warned him that it was a scam.

But having struggled through life for so many years, President Huang and his friends were not naive about distinguishing the mostly false from the rare truth; the key was whether it was effective, right?

Every year they participated in a few days of lectures and further education, and at least for the days following, they slept well and ate heartily, which alone was worth it for these aged, wealthy individuals.

Yet all these miracles could theoretically be explained by science, subconscious psychology, and psychology.

But this black business card in front of them, which felt intangible like a projection yet could be picked up… That was surely unscientific, right?

During this turbulent time in President Huang’s mind,

another small city’s food industry magnate, who had graduated in physics and later turned to business, was sitting in his office.

He was holding the black business card that had suddenly floated in front of him, muttering to himself:

“Physics… ceased to exist?”

“What in the world is the principle behind this? How could such transcendent phenomena truly exist in our world!”

In the mind of Lu Dahu, he believed in some mysterious phenomena that could not be explained by science.

But those were just hard-to-replicate special cases, the miracles of nature or life.

The object in front of him, however, represented something completely different!

And about the midnight invitation, if it is as he had thought… would it now be too late to seek the Tao due to his age?

……..

Su Ping, accompanied by the Spiritual Rats White and Grey, had turned the invitations into the shape of black business cards and distributed them.

The messages that appeared on the invitation cards were just some of Su Ping’s trivial tricks that weren’t suitable for public display.

The floating appearance of the cards was merely due to the Invisibility Talisman that Su Ping had used on the Spiritual Rats White and Grey.

Without revealing a bit of mystery beforehand, how could the selected individuals take this seriously?

Thinking of these selected individuals, Su Ping silently reviewed their information in his memory.

They were mostly local tyrants from small cities or county towns, not very wealthy.

Their control over some production materials was limited,

and their influence confined to one area; away from their hometown, they were just ordinary wealthy people.

This caused them to abandon their petty schemes due to limited capabilities, unable to trace through conventional methods like numbering materials and cash to investigate.

Because they simply didn’t have the capacity to trace where the supplies they provided were ultimately used.

Yet, they could still be autocrats within their own industries, able to mobilize some manpower and resources directly without facing various approvals and supervision.

Their experiences and personality also prevented them from making the foolish move of exposing chances inadvertently.

Su Ping had scrutinized and selected them, considering them partners he could manage at the moment.

To quickly and securely utilize the resources of Water Blue Star, Su Ping had to make this move.

Reliance solely on Little Taoist Zhouxuan… probably couldn’t even sustain a sugar trade!

Fortunately, having acquired Pot Cave Heaven, the initiative was now in Su Ping’s hands!

Su Ping returned to the Pot Cave Heaven, assuming the guise of Rat Taoist and arrived at the Bone Burying Ground.

When the time came,

Su Ping immediately exercised the invitation privileges of Pot Cave Heaven, sending invitations to those targeted individuals holding invitation cards.

Instantly, whether it was President Huang, Lu Dahu, or the other local magnates, all involuntarily gasped at the realization that this was indeed real.

In the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the underground secret rooms as they watched the time and waited, they unanimously chose to agree.

Touching the unknown, understanding the mystery, and then using it to become extraordinary… this was a temptation the selected individuals couldn’t resist!

Whoosh!

The rapid and drastic changes experienced by Little Taoist Zhouxuan in the blink of an eye were now being experienced by these six chosen ones as well.

Only unlike Zhouxuan, who saw Yunlai Immortal Realm,

these six affluent individuals appeared in the Yin Qi-rich Bone Burying Ground.

The first thing they saw was a ghost coming to greet them, looking like a hanging body.

It was the distant Big Locust Tree that covered the sky and shaded the sun!

And amidst the ghostly wails and howls surrounding them, they shuddered and took their first steps in Pot Cave Heaven.
