Crossing the Two Realms: From a Trader to an Immortal Emperor - Chapter 18

“Uh…”

Chen Le’an stood there, not knowing what to say.

He looked around and saw that the plain bottle of mineral water had suddenly become the center of attention.

In his heart, he whispered to himself, I can’t tell them that this so-called ‘Body Enhancement Fluid’ is actually just hot pot soup, right?

But the guests had already exploded with noise. Everyone started talking at once, like boiling water.

“Did Old Master Zhang just say that the liquid is real?! ”One guest asked with wide eyes, clearly in disbelief.

“This is amazing! I never thought I’d get to see such a legendary thing! ” said another guest, nodding his head like someone who had just witnessed a miracle.

“But it’s in a freaking mineral water bottle! That’s crazy! ”Someone shouted, clearly shocked and forgetting their manners.

Everyone stretched their necks, trying to get a better look at the “legendary” liquid. Their eyes were full of curiosity, envy, and even a bit of greed.

Zhang Qian carefully took the bottle and treated it like a rare treasure.

He quickly ordered a servant to bring a sealed container and placed the bottle inside it safely.

“Haha, young man, let’s talk privately,” Zhang Qian said happily, inviting Chen Le’an to speak with him.

Zhang Wan, his son, frowned and reminded him, “Father, there are still many guests here!”

Zhang Qian’s face turned serious. “The guests can enjoy themselves. I have something important to discuss with this young man.”

After all, this was Body Enhancement Fluid!

In the world of cultivation, what could be more important than improving one’s body and strength?

Zhang Wan didn’t dare say more and backed off angrily.

Chen Le’an followed Zhang Qian into the inner hall. The room was beautifully decorated—it was clearly a place used to welcome only the most important guests.

Zhang Qian was an experienced man. He knew that Chen Le’an wouldn’t give such a valuable gift for no reason. There had to be something he wanted.

Chen Le’an then shared his request.

He wanted weapons: a Gatling gun with blue flames, plastic explosives, RPGs, a Barrett sniper rifle…

In short, anything with big firepower!

If the space inside his Chaos Dimension wasn’t so small, he would’ve even asked for tanks and planes.

Zhang Qian’s eyes went wide. After a long pause, he asked, “Are you going to war?”

Chen Le’an smiled mysteriously but didn’t answer directly.

Zhang Qian didn’t ask further. He understood enough.

He then called Zhang Ruian and told him to handle the weapon arrangement.

But Zhang Qian didn’t want money—he wanted more of the Body Enhancement Fluid.

Chen Le’an didn’t mind. After all, it was just hot pot soup.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give something better. But in this world with little spiritual energy, if he brought out something too powerful, it could bring unnecessary trouble.

He then contacted Manager Pang and asked him to coordinate with Zhang Ruian.

Two hours later, Manager Pang called and said all the weapons had been delivered to Chen Le’an’s pharmaceutical factory.

Chen Le’an didn’t stay to chat. He left and returned to the factory right away.

When he saw all the weapons, his eyes lit up with excitement.

He was especially happy to see a full box of C4 plastic explosives.

C4 was 1.34 times stronger than TNT. It was soft like clay and could be shaped however he liked.

With these things, he had a much better chance to survive in the world of spiritual energy.

He picked a drone, took apart the Barrett sniper rifle, packed 100 bullets, and filled the rest of the space with C4.

Sadly, the space was too small, so he couldn’t bring the Gatling gun this time.

Once everything was ready, Chen Le’an focused his mind—

And returned to the world of spiritual energy.

He checked his body.

After breaking through to a higher level, all his old injuries had healed.

It was nighttime now.

He felt happy.

With the cover of darkness, he could move around more easily.

He took out the drone and quietly sent it flying into the night sky.

The drone’s lights blinked like a small firefly, moving around to scout the area.

He turned on the night vision.

Suddenly, he gasped.

The Liu family’s guards were already searching nearby.

So fast!

He flew the drone in a circle.

There were 32 people.

One of them looked similar to Liu Qiang.

Chen Le’an was shocked.

Old Wan had told him before:

The landowner Liu had three sons.

The youngest, Liu Qiang, had early Foundation Establishment cultivation and was already killed by Chen Le’an.

The second son, Liu Yi, had great talent and was taken as a direct disciple by a sect elder.

The eldest son, Liu Tao, had late Foundation Establishment cultivation.

It looked like this man was Liu Tao!

Behind Liu Tao stood two men. They also seemed to have Foundation Establishment power.

They were likely the Liu family’s protectors.

Chen Le’an felt nervous.

If he hadn’t had the drone and had just walked out, he would have been found for sure.

Liu Tao’s face was cold as ice.

His family had ruled this land for hundreds of years.

They had never suffered such a loss.

Now that the second son had joined a powerful sect, the Liu family was ready to rise.

But some lowly farmer dared to challenge their authority?

And even killed the youngest son?

Only the Liu family kills others. Who dares to kill someone from the Liu family?!

“Don’t worry, Young Master,” said one of the guards confidently. “That low-level cultivator can’t escape! ”

“Just a low-level cultivator—we can crush him with one hand!” said another.

Liu Tao frowned. “Don’t be careless. My useless younger brother was also a cultivator, but he still died!”

“That was his own mistake. As long as we don’t get close, his strange weapons won’t work.”

The guards didn’t worry.

They had already learned how Chen Le’an fought.

He had a strange weapon, but it only worked at close range.

If they used flying swords from a distance, he would have no way to fight back.

Liu Tao stayed quiet.

He agreed.

One by one, the guards came back with the same report.

“Young Master, we found nothing! ”

“Young Master, no trace!”

“Young Master, he’s gone!”

Liu Tao exploded with anger.

“Useless idiots!”

He waved his hand, and several guards were knocked away.

“Keep searching! If you don’t find him, you’ll all die with my brother!”

The guards panicked and quickly scattered.

Chen Le’an grew serious.

If this continued, they would find him sooner or later, and there were Foundation Establishment experts here.

They could fly on swords. His Wind God Legs were fast, but not that fast.

He needed to strike first and wipe them out—all 32 of them.

Thankfully, he had the drone.

It was like having full map vision in a video game.

He counted his supplies: 40 to 50 grenades, 1 Barrett sniper rifle with 100 bullets and lots of C4 explosives.
The guards weren’t a big problem. He was a level-9 Qi Refiner and also a body cultivator.

He could take care of them easily.

The only trouble was the three Foundation Establishment enemies.

He decided to deal with the guards first.

He quietly left the cave.

Using Wind God Legs, he moved without a sound.

Following the drone’s guide, he slipped behind a guard like a shadow.

The guard didn’t notice a thing.

He was still cursing and searching.

Without hesitation, Chen Le’an made his move—twisting the guard’s neck.

The man dropped without a sound.

Then, Chen Le’an moved toward the next guard…
