At villa number one of Peace Mountain Villa.
Chen Jie asked someone to get an ultra-high-temperature boiler and put various materials obtained from the auction into it, refining them into a thick, black liquid.
He then continuously injected spiritual energy and cast various restrictions and formations.
After about a day, the metallic liquid in front of him turned into the shape of rings.
"Success!"
Chen Jie let out a breath.
In front of him lay four dark golden rings.
Chen Jie touched them and felt that they were empty.
"Kid, I really underestimated you. You can actually make such amazing things!" The bronze sword beside him trembled, and Fang Shaohua's voice came through.
He was very shocked by this item.
If one of these were taken out and sold, it would likely cause a huge sensation.
This was because such an item held a fatal attraction for both ordinary people and martial artists.
A delivery driver could use it to store items for deliveries, and logistics companies could also use it for transportation.
For martial artists who often acted alone, how convenient would it be to carry a spatial ring?
"Not bad, the success rate is acceptable."
Chen Jie nodded with satisfaction.
Now, no one dared to cause trouble at Peace Mountain Villa.
"With this matter settled, it's time to go to the capital to resolve the engagement with Gu Yue!" Chen Jie looked outwards, a spark of fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
A mere provincial capital was already a turbulent place. Upon reaching the capital, he would likely encounter even more powerful individuals.
However, Chen Jie also had his own confidence.
In the past two days, his strength had advanced from the first layer of Foundation Establishment to the second layer.
He believed that within a year, he would be able to reach the Golden Core stage.
The strength of the Golden Core stage was far beyond that of the Foundation Establishment stage. It was likely that in current Earth, a Golden Core stage cultivator could definitely reign supreme.
"Kid, don't forget what you promised me!" Fang Shaohua was nagging again.
"Don't worry, if the Dark Shadow Sect dares to plot against me, I will make them pay a heavy price. Once I find out their strongholds, I will storm them!"
If it weren't for the numerous matters at hand recently, Chen Jie would have already started dealing with the Dark Shadow Sect.
In fact, he had already begun to do so. He had asked Ronan to conduct an investigation online, and as soon as the results came back, he would attack immediately.
Otherwise, leaving them around would only be a future threat. After all, Chen Jie now had a large enterprise and many people to protect. He himself didn't have much to worry about, but if his loved ones were implicated, that would be a disaster.
"I'm so looking forward to it! Use me then! Use me to slaughter them all!"
Fang Shaohua said excitedly.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
At this moment, Chen Jie's phone rang.
It was Lin Shuang calling.
"Chen Jie, do you remember what you promised me?" Lin Shuang asked.
"I remember." Chen Jie had just finished making the storage rings when Lin Shuang came to ask for them. It was a bit unexpected, and he thought to himself that she had come at a very opportune time.
"Well, if you remember, then let's not delay. Hurry over to my place!"
Lin Shuang said.
"To your place?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.
"Yes! Didn't I tell you before that you should come to my place when you have time? Um, my parents are here to visit me now, so you need to come quickly!"
"What, your parents don't live with you?"
In his impression, although Lin Shuang was a member of the Dragon Group, she also came from a prominent family.
However, upon further thought, even so, it was normal for Lin Shuang to live alone.
"Alright, I'll be there shortly!"
Chen Jie said.
"Okay, no rush. Have lunch at my place. Just be there before noon," Lin Shuang said.
"Okay!"
Hearing her say that, Chen Jie was no longer in a hurry.
He delayed until noon before setting off. Following the location Lin Shuang had given him, Chen Jie quickly drove to the front of Lin Shuang's house.
Lin Shuang's residence was a townhouse villa. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but it wasn't bad either.
Chen Jie called Lin Shuang, and she quickly came out to greet him.
"Chen Jie, come quickly! You can park the car by the entrance," Lin Shuang waved at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, parked his car, and then followed Lin Shuang inside.
"Don't take anything to heart about what my parents say later. Just treat it like a casual visit," Lin Shuang said to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded, feeling a bit complicated.
His original intention was to find Lin Shuang and break off the engagement.
However, at this moment, their relationship was somewhat delicate.
He hadn't mentioned breaking off the engagement again during this period.
"Oh, Chen Jie is here!" At this moment, a middle-aged couple walked out. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The man was slender and had a refined demeanor, clearly a handsome young man in his youth.
The woman, on the other hand, was slightly overweight and plump.
They were Lin Shuang's parents, father Lin Li, and mother Tang Yun.
Tang Yun's attitude towards Chen Jie was relatively warm.
"I'm here!" Lin Li nodded at Chen Jie faintly, not cold, nor warm.
"Uncle, Auntie, hello."
Chen Jie brought out the gifts he had bought in the car.
It was his first meeting, so he hadn't bought anything too expensive, just some famous cigarettes and wine.
It was basic etiquette.
"Quick, come inside and sit." The two invited Chen Jie in.
Lin Shuang's residence was usually occupied only by her, but it had all the necessary facilities.
"Heh heh, Chen Jie, I've heard Lin Shuang talk about you. My daughter is so beautiful, why don't you find her appealing and only want to break off the engagement with her?" Lin Li said to Chen Jie with a smile.
Chen Jie was taken aback for a moment, and his tone became relaxed: "Actually, if Lin Shuang doesn't mind some of my affairs, then whether we break off the engagement or not doesn't matter."
"Hahaha..."
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Chen Jie to say that. He then laughed heartily to mask his embarrassment at not knowing how to respond.
Soon, he patted Chen Jie on the shoulder: "You kid! Whether to break off the engagement or not, can it be decided by you alone? Moreover, I heard you already have a girlfriend? What's the deal? Do you want to have your cake and eat it too!"
"Dad!" Lin Shuang called out from the side.
After saying a couple of sentences, Lin Li felt he had no need for restraint and directly told Lin Shuang: "It wasn't easy for your mother and me to come from the provincial capital. Today, your matter must be resolved! Go, you and your mother go cook some dishes. Today, your father and I will have a couple of drinks."
"Well, Chen Jie, some things, let's talk about them openly. If there's any unpleasantness, don't take it to heart. After all, the matter is at hand, and we have to face it."
Chen Jie smiled and nodded.
Tang Yun pulled Lin Shuang and reminded Lin Li: "Don't forget our arrangement, explain it to him clearly."
"Don't worry! Go, go!"
From Lin Li's reaction, Chen Jie realized that Lin Li's attitude towards him was rather ambiguous.
However, Lin Li seemed to be a straightforward person.
Chen Jie didn't dislike him that much.
