Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Looking at Chen Tian's departing figure, and then at the kitchen knife in his own hand, the burly man didn't seem to have recovered, muttering softly, "What's so good about this kitchen knife?"

"Hey, don't you really recognize this kitchen knife? This is a Chen Family Blacksmith Shop kitchen knife. The current market price is one thousand taels of silver. If you don't want it, then it's mine. I'll trade you fifty taels of silver for it."

Seeing the burly man's confused look, one of the onlookers suddenly shouted to him, and took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Don't listen to him, I'll offer one hundred taels. Give me the kitchen knife, and I'll give you one hundred taels!" At this time, another person came forward, wanting to snatch the kitchen knife.

"I'll offer two hundred taels!"

"Three hundred taels, three hundred taels! Sell me the kitchen knife!"

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the crowd lit up, and they swarmed up and surrounded the burly man.

The burly man was frightened by this scene, and he finally believed that this kitchen knife might really be a treasure.

… … … … … … … …

Just as everyone was surrounding the burly man, vying to buy the kitchen knife in his hand, Chen Tian had already helped the crazy old man and disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey, Brother Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. What were you doing over there?"

At this moment, Erwa's father happened to find him. He glanced at the crazy old man beside Chen Tian and asked suspiciously, "Eh, who is he?"

"It's nothing." Chen Tian shook his head slightly, and then said, "By the way, Brother Zhang, I still have some things to do in this town. You should go back first. Don't wait for me."

After saying that, Chen Tian ignored whether he agreed or not, and continued to help the crazy old man forward.

"Eh? What exactly is going on?"

Seeing Chen Tian's strange appearance, Erwa's father became even more puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He untied the donkey cart's reins and headed back alone.

Away from the bustling crowd and the lively streets, Chen Tian helped the crazy old man into a quiet alley.

Chen Tian's sudden release caused the crazy old man to lose his balance, and he fell backward to the ground, hurting so much that he began to curse.

"You still have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for me, you would have died just now. What's the big deal about suffering a little?"

After retorting unhappily to the crazy old man, Chen Tian's expression instantly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, there are no outsiders here. You don't have to pretend you don't recognize me. Tell me, what is your real purpose?"

"Oh, you still recognize me?"

Looking at Chen Tian's serious face, the old man instantly changed his previous weak appearance, patted the dirt off his body, and stood up from the ground.

"Recognize, of course I recognize you. Even if you turned into ashes, I would recognize you. Just because of one sentence from you, I have lived a mortal life here for nearly ten years. Do you think I would forget you? Senior!"

It turned out that this crazy old man was the mysterious old man Chen Tian had seen in Cai Lan Village.

However, after that, the old man seemed to have suddenly disappeared. No matter how Chen Tian searched, he couldn't find any trace of him.

And today, being able to see him again was a great surprise to Chen Tian.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, the crazy old man finally stopped pretending, looked at Chen Tian, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems that you have completely shed your identity as a cultivator and become a mortal."

"That's right." Chen Tian nodded and said, "I have never forgotten the teachings of the senior. In the past ten years, I have never used any spiritual power. Everything I do is no different from ordinary people."

"Very good." Hearing Chen Tian's words, Chen Tian smiled, "You have such perseverance. I am very gratified. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to listen to me, then I guarantee that you will be able to break through to the Coagulating Sea Realm."

"Is that true?" Chen Tian couldn't help being overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "But what exactly do I have to do to break through to the Coagulating Sea Realm?"

Chen Tian was extremely pleasantly surprised at this time, and he couldn't wait to go back and save Xiaolong.

The old man seemed to have seen Chen Tian's anxiety, but at this time, he suddenly stretched and smiled, "Alas, I have a problem, and that is that if I don't drink alcohol, I can't remember anything. What was the method to break through to the Coagulating Sea Realm? How did I forget?"

Looking at the old man's feigning madness, the smile on Chen Tian's face suddenly faded, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand. Now we will go to the best tavern in town to drink alcohol, how about that?"

"Hehe, smart, I really didn't misjudge you. You really are a person who does great things." Seeing Chen Tian's sensible appearance, the old man burst out laughing again.

Chen Tian was a little speechless after hearing this. If he hadn't seen the old man's methods, he would have really thought that he was a charlatan who specialized in swindling food and drink.

However, Chen Tian knew that although the old man looked unserious, his strength was unfathomable.

Chen Tian believed that the old man might be an unparalleled powerhouse with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation base.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian's attitude towards the old man suddenly became three points more respectful, and he guided him towards a tavern called 'Pure Wine Aroma'.

This 'Pure Wine Aroma' is the best tavern in town. The wine sold inside is all vintage wine that has been sealed underground for decades. Usually, the number of people making reservations has already been scheduled for half a year later.

However, Chen Tian didn't pay attention to these things, but took the old man and walked straight into the store.

"Oh, isn't this the owner of Chen Family Blacksmith Shop? Why do you have time to come to my small shop today? Please come inside, please come inside…"

Just as Chen Tian had just stepped into the store, the tavern owner personally greeted him and arranged him in the best private room.

"Eh, I didn't expect your reputation to be quite high." Seeing this scene, the crazy old man couldn't help but tease Chen Tian.

Chen Tian smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I also like the wine here, so I used five kitchen knives to exchange for a permanent seat here."

"Eh, interesting."

The old man showed a strange expression after hearing this, and didn't ask anything else. He swaggered and walked into the private room with Chen Tian.

Just after sitting down, Chen Tian couldn't wait to ask, "Senior, now you should tell me, what exactly do I have to do to break through to the Coagulating Sea Realm?"
