Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The Wang family truly lives up to its reputation as the wealthiest family in Dingxiang Town. Chen Tian resides here, and everything he uses is of the highest quality.

Take washing hands, for example. Ordinary people would simply use a pottery jar with some clean water, but the Wang family is extremely particular. Not only do they use a washbasin made of fine purple copper, but they also adorn it with gold and jade, sparing no expense. Moreover, the water for washing hands is no ordinary water; it's natural dew collected by the Wang family's servants from the nearby mountains and fields at dawn.

From this small detail, one can infer the kind of luxurious life Wang Yue has lived for decades.

Chen Tian is very pleased about this, as he hopes that this Senior Brother Wang can live a peaceful life.

In these past few days, Wang Yue has taken care of Chen Tian in every possible way, being meticulous and attentive.

After several days of such tranquility, on the evening of the fifth day, Wang Yue suddenly sent someone to invite Chen Tian to the study again.

This time, Wang Yue specifically instructed that only Chen Tian could come alone, and no one else, not even Xu Bo, could accompany him.

Chen Tian remained calm about all of this and leisurely walked alone towards the study in the back garden.

Having been there once before, Chen Tian arrived at the door of the study with ease, even without a guide.

However, upon arriving, Chen Tian didn't rush inside. Instead, he thoughtfully examined the surroundings of the study.

Although the night was deep and the sky was dark, Chen Tian had already cultivated to the Great Perfection stage of the Spirit引導 Stage. With the blessing of spiritual power, his eyes suddenly flashed with a faint golden light, allowing him to observe the surrounding scenery clearly even in the darkness.

At first glance, the study appeared the same as when he had visited it a few days ago, but upon closer inspection, one could notice that strange black talismans had suddenly appeared on the four corners of the study.

These talismans were entirely black, and because it was night, they were difficult to spot without careful observation.

On the black talismans, crimson lines were drawn, intertwining to form a complex and mysterious array.

When Chen Tian saw these talismans, his previously calm expression instantly turned gloomy.

Because Chen Tian discovered that the vermilion pigment used to draw the lines on the talismans was actually made from the fresh blood of living people!

Chen Tian's expression gradually became solemn. Then, he looked up at the main building and noticed wisps of black gas emanating from above the study, as if demons or ghosts were hiding within.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Chen Tian didn't show any fear. Instead, he sneered with disdain. Then, in the blink of an eye, the golden light in his eyes vanished. Chen Tian pretended to be nonchalant, took a step forward, and knocked on the door: "Senior Brother Wang, I'm here."

Soon after Chen Tian spoke, the door of the study creaked open, and a tired-looking Wang Yue appeared before Chen Tian, smiled, and said, "Junior Brother, you're here. Come in quickly."

Hearing Wang Yue's greeting, Chen Tian didn't rush to enter. Instead, he stared at him.

Wang Yue looked as if he hadn't slept for days, his eye sockets had turned black and swollen, and his face was pale and bloodless.

Seeing Wang Yue in this state, Chen Tian frowned, then suddenly relaxed. He walked towards the study, smiling as he said, "Senior Brother Wang looks haggard. Could it be that your cold hasn't healed yet?"

The chair was placed in a very strange position. It wasn't in the main hall of the room or on either side, but directly in the center.

And it seemed that Wang Yue wanted Chen Tian to sit there.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's lips curled up. Instead of walking over, he smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you tell me first, what's the matter that you suddenly asked me to come here?"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, but quickly, he forced a smile and said, "Hey, it's nothing really. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

"Oh, is it just a heart-to-heart talk?" Chen Tian stood still, looking at Wang Yue with his arms crossed, a playful expression on his face.

Seeing Chen Tian's expression, Wang Yue became even more flustered. He tried to avoid Chen Tian's gaze, and said vaguely, "Junior Brother, it's really just a heart-to-heart talk, don't overthink it."

"Alright then, let's have a good chat then." Chen Tian smiled, then walked to the chair in the center of the room and sat down.

Seeing Chen Tian sit down, Wang Yue's heart, which had been on edge, instantly relaxed. Then, he turned around, grabbed a jade bottle of wine, and smiled at Chen Tian, "It's a rare occasion to be happy today, Junior Brother, you must have a drink with me."

Chen Tian frowned slightly as he looked at the bottle of wine in Wang Yue's hand, and shook his head, "Senior Brother, you should know that I have already cultivated to the Bigu stage. Drinking these mortal wines will only add impurities."

"Hey, how could I forget! But don't worry, Junior Brother, this bottle of mine isn't ordinary wine." Wang Yue walked up to Chen Tian, poured him a cup, and smiled, "This wine of mine was given to me by the Immortal Feather Sect for my outstanding work back then. I've been reluctant to drink it all these years, but I'm happy to see you, Junior Brother, so I took it out. Today, we brothers must drink to our hearts' content!"

After Wang Yue laughed heartily, he handed the cup of wine in his hand to Chen Tian.

Looking at the cup of wine that Wang Yue handed over, Chen Tian's eyes flickered a few times, and then he took it, smiling, "Alright then, tonight I'll risk my life to keep you company."

With that, Chen Tian tilted his head back and drank the wine in the cup completely.

"Good, that's the spirit! Junior Brother, let's have another!" Wang Yue praised, then poured another cup of wine into Chen Tian's cup.

But this time, Chen Tian didn't rush to drink it. Instead, he shook the glass while looking at Wang Yue with a strange smile, "Senior Brother, I can't be the only one drinking this wine. How can you not drink? Come, Junior Brother will use this opportunity to offer you a cup!"

As he spoke, Chen Tian handed the cup of wine in his hand to Wang Yue.

But when Wang Yue saw this scene, his previously smiling face instantly became flustered.
