The first thing Jiang Wen did upon returning to the real world was to connect to the internet and browse the news. However, looking at the date displayed on his phone, he discovered that nearly two weeks had passed.
The time dilation ratio between the two worlds is now approaching equality.
He had a premonition that perhaps after a few more trips back and forth, the time difference between the two worlds would reach one-to-one. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, as however long he stayed in the Great Qian world, that's how long would pass in the real world.
Thinking about his demonstration at the Taoist Assembly last time, Jiang Wen browsed the internet and found that this period had only caused heated discussions. After the hype died down, apart from the various major Taoist mountain gates becoming more lively, it seemed that there were no major changes. The videos that had previously circulated were also dismissed as special effects composites. Even the Taoist United Official Film Company decided to shoot a Xianxia film.
It was precisely because of various reasons that the two cultivation methods he had widely spread were only treated as jokes, and few people would actually practice them. After all, whether it was body-tempering martial arts or internal energy cultivation methods, they all required some basic knowledge of human meridians.
Few people nowadays have the energy to study them, except for those who are particularly obsessed with martial arts. Moreover, cultivation is not something that can be achieved in a day. Perhaps after a week of perseverance with no results, people will naturally give up.
"Wow! You're finally alive?!" Shen Yueshu's reply came immediately, and Jiang Wen even suspected that she was waiting in front of her phone.
Jiang Wen: "Went out to cultivate, no signal."
Shen Yueshu: "Where did you go? Can you take me with you? I can be considered your disciple, right?"
Jiang Wen: "Next time for sure. You're looking for me so urgently, is there something going on?"
Shen Yueshu: "Of course! The true qi has already gathered in my body, can I proceed to the next step?"
Jiang Wen: "Not bad, it's been almost half a year, my painstaking efforts were not in vain. Anyone should be able to cultivate true qi."
Shen Yueshu: "Damn it! There's no way to refute that! Speaking of which, I went to the Taoist temple to find you last time, but I couldn't get in no matter what. What's going on?"
Jiang Wen: "I set up a Bewilderment Array in the Taoist temple. Without my array-breaking method, you naturally can't get in. But now that I'm back, you can come over."
Shen Yueshu: "Really?! I'm coming over right now!"
The conversation between the two ended, and Shen Yueshu didn't reply to him again. Jiang Wen then replied to the others' calls. His old brother Wang Sheng still had that loud voice.
"Brother Jiang! You've made your brother look for you so hard! I couldn't get through on the phone, it really worried me," Wang Sheng said with a laugh on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Wang, is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Wen asked curiously, seeing him so eager.
"Of course there is, your brother here needs your help urgently," Wang Sheng said quickly.
"What help? Tell me about it."
"The thing is..."
Listening to Wang Sheng's words, Jiang Wen understood the cause and effect of what he was asking for.
It turned out that Wang Sheng had a good friend who had business dealings overseas, who was said to be a particularly wealthy person of Chinese descent. His ancestors had gone abroad to take refuge during the war and settled in Nanyang. Later, thanks to the efforts of the family, they were considered to have a small reputation in Nanyang. Not to mention a net worth of tens of billions, they had founded various Chinese descent joint chambers of commerce in Nanyang. Many people who traveled abroad and encountered trouble in Nanyang had received their help.
However, Nanyang has also been unstable recently, and their family has suffered even more disasters. Not only were there always strange things happening at home, even the old house they lived in had suffered a disaster.
The wizards of Nanyang said that they were destined to be cursed and would not live for many days. The other party was looking for capable people and strangers all over the world, hoping to solve their family's troubles.
Who would have thought that they had found many people, but the trouble was getting bigger and bigger. Helpless, this family could only return to China to see if there was a way. After all, China is big, and there are many strange people and strangers. Compared with Nanyang, it is not hopeless, and there are more opportunities.
Wang Sheng had also been rescued by the other party, so when the other party told him about this, he thought of Jiang Wen.
"Brother, help your brother with this favor. There will definitely be benefits," Wang Sheng said with a smile. "Not to mention money, their family can take out eight or nine figures. More importantly, this family also has influence in Nanyang. When the time comes, brother, you can also open a branch temple in Nanyang."
"Is that what it is? That's fine too." Jiang Wen thought for a while and agreed, after all, listening to Wang Sheng's words, the other party seemed to be a good person. Being able to enthusiastically save Chinese people who encountered trouble while traveling to Nanyang made him feel a lot better.
Wang Sheng was overjoyed to see Jiang Wen agree so readily. He quickly said that he would send someone to pick him up for a dinner party and meet the other party.
Jiang Wen declined his proposal, after all, he still had many things to deal with now.
He asked Wang Sheng for contact information, saying that he would contact them after he was done with his work. Wang Sheng naturally agreed without hesitation, and also asked him if he had any troubles that he needed his help with.
Jiang Wen thanked him for his kindness and declined, and then replied to the rest of the people one by one.
One of them was an invitation from Old Master Shen, who very politely said that his family would be holding a banquet and wanted to invite Jiang Wen to attend. Jiang Wen replied that he would go if he had time, and Old Master Shen was also very polite in saying okay.
Another was a call from a former classmate, asking him if he wanted to attend a class reunion. Jiang Wen didn't like this kind of gathering very much. He had been to class reunions before, and they were all displays of success by successful people. There were few friendships between classmates, but there were many who showed off their superiority. Jiang Wen directly declined their invitation, saying that he was too busy recently and didn't have time.
The last call was a bit strange. It was a short three-digit number, and the person who answered was a stranger's accent. The other party said that Jiang Wen's Taoist temple was not registered and needed to go through formal procedures. Jiang Wen couldn't help but laugh at this.
After asking clearly, he understood that it turned out that the events at the Taoist Assembly that time were too bizarre, and later the official decided to formalize the Taoist temples. All Taoist temples, large and small, needed to be registered, and the procedure could be completed. Jiang Wen would go through the procedure when he had time, and then the other party hung up the phone.
After finishing these things, the sky gradually darkened. He returned to the temple to prepare food, but he didn't expect the foxes on the mountain to come over to join in the fun.
Although the white foxes were not very big, there were too many of them. Thanks to the help of several fairies, Jiang Wen was able to prepare food for all of them.
Looking at the chattering white-haired foxes in the dining hall, Jiang Wen was glad for the first time that he had expanded the dining area. Otherwise, where would he be able to fit so many foxes?
