Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Hearing the words of Erwa's father, Chen Tian's expression showed a hint of surprise, and he asked with some suspicion, "What is it? Are you waiting for me?"

"That's right, I've been holding onto my last breath, just waiting for you, Brother Chen."

The corners of Erwa's father's mouth suddenly revealed a carefree smile.

Chen Tian frowned upon hearing this, then glanced at the kitchen knife he was tightly holding in his hand.

A glimmer of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "So that's it, Brother Zhang, you really put a lot of thought into this."

It turned out that after twenty years of unremitting effort, the causal threads entwined around Chen Tian had been severed almost completely.

But when it came to the end, Chen Tian suddenly discovered that there was an extremely thin causal thread whose root he could not find no matter what.

Chen Tian pondered over this for more than half a year, but still gained nothing.

Just when Chen Tian was feeling deeply confused, suddenly, a faint cry entered his mind.

This voice only contained the three words 'Brother Chen' and echoed repeatedly.

As soon as Chen Tian heard these words, he instantly recognized that it was Erwa's father's voice.

That's why Chen Tian's soul left his body and he kept using the shrinking earth technique to arrive in front of Erwa's father in a very short time.

Although Chen Tian had not yet officially broken through to the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm), with his accumulation over the past few decades, he could already be considered to have stepped into the凝海境 (Ninghai Realm) with one foot, so he was able to barely use the soul projection technique.

In other words, what Erwa's father was seeing at this time was not Chen Tian's physical body, but his soul.

However, Erwa's father didn't care about these things, because he would be satisfied as long as he could see Chen Tian again.

After sighing softly, Chen Tian suddenly spoke again, "Alright, Brother Zhang, give me the kitchen knife in your hand."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Erwa's father, who had been immersed in joy, finally calmed down, looked at the kitchen knife he was holding tightly in his hand, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehe, Brother Chen, please don't blame me, I just wanted to see you one more time before I die."

It turned out that this kitchen knife was the first kitchen knife Chen Tian had made in Cai Lan Village, which he later sold to a Wang chef who ran a restaurant in town.

Erwa's father went to town and, after spending a lot of effort, finally found out the whereabouts of the first kitchen knife made by Chen Tian.

Then he took out all the savings he had accumulated in his life and bought the kitchen knife from the Wang chef's hand.

You must know that when the Wang chef bought this kitchen knife, Chen's Kitchen Knife was not yet famous, so he only spent twenty copper coins to buy this Chen's Kitchen Knife, which would later become popular for a while.

However, the price at which Erwa's father repurchased it from him actually reached a full two thousand three hundred and thirty taels.

This was all the dividends that Erwa's father had obtained after leading the villagers of Cai Lan Village to revive the blacksmithing business.

However, Erwa didn't even think about it and took out all the money to repurchase the first kitchen knife made by Chen Tian.

After holding more than two thousand taels of silver, the Wang chef was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth, secretly scolded Erwa's father as a fool, and then he immediately resigned and opened his own restaurant.

But although he was scolded as a fool, Erwa's father was very happy in his heart.

From then on, Erwa's father regarded this kitchen knife as his treasure and never left his side, until now that he was seriously ill, he still held the kitchen knife firmly in his hand.

No wonder Chen Tian had been wondering what was going on with the thin causal thread wrapped around him.

It turned out that Erwa's father had forcibly disrupted the causal relationship, causing Chen Tian to bear an extra causal thread.

Or to put it another way, Erwa's father had forcibly stolen a cause and effect between him and Chen Tian.

After understanding this, Chen Tian looked bitter, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After a pause, Chen Tian shook his head and asked, "Alright, Brother Zhang, tell me, what is it that you have gone to so much trouble to find me for?"

Unlike Chen Tian's depression, Erwa's father at this time had a look of smugness on his face and smiled, "It's nothing, I know I'm about to die, I just wanted to see you again before I die, and by the way, have a drink."

Although Erwa's father had a smile on his face, Chen Tian could still hear a hint of sadness in his words.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the top of Erwa's father's head, and found that a hourglass that had dripped halfway was hanging above his head.

Chen Tian knew that this was the time left for Erwa's father, and as long as the hourglass dripped completely, then Erwa's father would also die.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Brother Chen, we two brothers finally meet, what are you doing sighing like this? Could it be that you don't want to see this old man?"

Looking at Chen Tian's slightly gloomy face at this time, Erwa's father laughed heartily, as if he didn't care that his life was coming to an end.

Looking at Erwa's father's unrestrained smile, Chen Tian seemed to be infected by him, and immediately swept away the gloom in his heart and laughed loudly, "Haha, since Brother Zhang wants to drink, then I will naturally accompany you at the risk of my life, today we will get drunk and forget everything."

"What a get drunk and forget everything!"

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Erwa's father immediately laughed loudly.

But soon, he became a little worried again: "Brother Chen, I'm really sorry, although I really want to get drunk and forget everything with you, but there's nothing here."

At this time, both Chen Tian and Erwa's father were in a soul state.

This place was even in his dream, so besides the vast white light, there was nothing else around.

However, after hearing these words, Chen Tian smiled mysteriously, and then he gently waved his sleeves, and suddenly, the surrounding scenery began to undergo earth-shaking changes.

I saw thick trees rising from the ground one by one, a boundless grassland spreading out under the feet of the two people, and at the same time, there was a winding and clear river running through the grassland and the forest, and the surroundings were full of vitality.

At the same time, Erwa's father was even more surprised to find that his appearance had suddenly become decades younger, and he had returned to the strong young man he was when he first met Chen Tian!
