A beauty was nestled against him, so soft and warm.

Li Xuan didn't move, letting the woman lean and rub against him. A slight smirk lifted the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of mockery.

"Tch, this kid is not taking the bait!" The woman after rubbing against him a few times, seeing no reaction from Li Xuan, she exclaimed boringly.

Several young men hiding in the shadows, holding their mobile phones to secretly capture the scene, felt disappointed.

Li Xuan calmly looked at them. These young men's family-owned businesses were spread across energy, finance, pharmaceuticals, logistics; in the previous world, they were all the more advanced and wealthy than Zhang Shihua and beyond his reach.

But that was all in the past. At the moment, in Li Xuan's eyes, they were just like ants, not worth stepping on.

"Have you guys had enough fun? If so, I'll be going." Li Xuan said in an indifferent tone.

The faces of the rich second-generation young men darkened.

The tall young man sneered and said, "Oh, aren't you quite temperamental? We're only playing with you as a courtesy!"

Ye Meimei also added with a flirty tone, "Do you know, in Anzhou, how many people would kill to be in our circle? So many people don't even get the chance to be played by us; you should cherish it dearly."

"I'm not willing to play the role of a dog even if others are." Li Xuan responded indifferently.

The several young men erupted into an uproar, pointing fingers, threatening to teach Li Xuan a lesson.

The tall young man waved his hand, "Don't lower ourselves by arguing with such a person."

Li Xuan didn't even look at them, and turned to leave.

The tall young man watched Li Xuan's receding figure and laughed loudly, "Hey, look at the top of his head, doesn't it look like a lush green grassland?"

Continuous laughter echoed behind him, but Li Xuan was deaf to it and exited the villa.

Outside, it was raining heavily.

Li Xuan, though, continued to stride into the rain, the downpour soaking him thoroughly, making him look like a drowned rat.

"Hahaha!" Li Xuan, however, burst out laughing. Despite the thunder and rain, his laughter still carried a great distance.

Inside the villa, a few men and women looked out the window, puzzled. They seemed to have heard something but soon shook their heads and continued their wild antics.

Li Xuan kept walking in the rain, laughing as he went.

The past was like a dream, but the present called for cheers and toasts!

As he walked, he nurtured the tiny seed of spiritual energy in his spiritual field or dantian.

With each step, the scripture from the Tai Xuan Jing echoed in his brain, the golden characters shone as bright as a clock, completely overwhelming him.

Li Xuan suddenly found a subtle sensation in his dantian, and couldn't help but feel invigorated. He yelled out, "Brilliant!"

With a shout of "Brilliant!" The spiritual seed in his dantian sprouted.

Li Xuan took another step, yelling, "Brilliant!"

At his second shout of "Brilliant!", the sprout grew two tender leaves.

Li Xuan took another step, calling out again, "Brilliant!"

With a heart full of pleasant excitement, the small sprout bolted upright, yielding a tiny fruit.

Li Xuan took one step, two steps, three steps, and four, his speed increasing with each stride. With every step, his spiritual essence swelled a little more, echoing the phrase "pleasant excitement" throughout the rainy night.

The sprout grew rampantly, producing leaves, fruits, and branches until it eventually metamorphosed into a large tree.

A golden fruit emerged from the tree.

As Li Xuan took his tenth step and let out his final cry of "pleasant excitement," a flash of golden light followed, and the fruit fell. It transformed into a sweet liquid that blended into his limbs and body.

A buzzing sound echoed in Li Xuan's mind as if a thousand bells and drums were ringing simultaneously. His blood roiled, his muscles and bones began to transform from the inside out.

His body grew taller abruptly.

His muscles became distinct and solid.

His tendons and bones became as strong as steel.

Even his facial features became more profound. He was naturally handsome but now exuded a more compelling and masculine charm.

What was even more surprising was that his clothes, which were soaking wet from the rain, were quickly dried by the heat emanating from within Li Xuan's body.

Around Li Xuan, a layer of imperceptible energy emerged, isolating the pouring rain!

Thus, a peculiar scene unfolded in the midst of the rain.

With heavy rains and changing colors of the heavens and the earth, the young man in the middle remained untouched by a single drop!

Completing the first level of Qi refinement in ten steps, Li Xuan was in a good mood.

The path to becoming an immortal is fraught with challenges, divided into eight major stages.

Incense-Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, Spiritual Infant Stage, God-Transforming Stage, Return-to-Reality Stage, Golden Immortal Stage, Path of Dao Stage.

In his past life, he practiced for hundreds of years, stumbling at first but never faltering. With unwavering determination, he surpassed all obstacles and finally reached the Golden Immortal Stage, renowned as the “Fiery Mysterious Golden Immortal.”

In this lifetime, he no longer needs to wander and knows the locations of countless concealed resources. He can even foresee the emergence of great treasures, totally a smooth journey.

In this lifetime, I possess more experience, more resources, and more time. I will definitely make up for the regret from the past life, survive the cosmic calamity, and reach the Supreme Dao!

Li Xuan became more and more excited as he thought, filled with ardor.

At that moment, a sudden burst of bright headlights from behind cut through the heavy rain, casting its light on him.

In the middle of a torrential night, a car was speeding towards him.

“Screech,” when the car drew near to Li Xuan, it seemed to realize there was somebody on the road and abruptly came to an abrupt stop.

Li Xuan was just in a state of "impervious to all matters."

This state signifies tranquility in which one is undisturbed by the surroundings.

After the car screeched to a halt, Li Xuan was suddenly awakened and turned back to look.

The headlights were blinding, but this was only applicable to ordinary people.

Li Xuan, having achieved success in incense refining, had a penetrating gaze. Through the rain and the glare of the headlights, he could see the two occupants of the car, which caused him to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

The driver was a woman in her twenties, naturally pretty, fashionably dressed, but currently looking pale as if she had been frightened.

The co-pilot seat is occupied by an elderly man, his white hair reflecting his old age. He sits rigidly, exuding an aura of imposing authority without signs of anger.

"Xu Man!" Li Xuan immediately recognizes the lady driver, a rush of memories overwhelm him, filling him with nostalgia.

With a "bang", the car door opens. A large black umbrella protrudes out, snaps open with a "pop", followed by a pair of red high-heeled shoes.

Xu Man got out of the car, holding the black umbrella, indifferent to the raindrops pattering against it. Annoyed, she exclaimed, "Hey, it's pouring, and so dark outside, what are you doing in the middle of the road? Are you suicidal or what? If you don't care about your life, don't implicate others!"

"So it really is you," Li Xuan laughed.
