Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Upon hearing from the round-faced girl that the boss was selling the shop, Zhao Jing hurriedly asked, "Can we meet your boss? It's like this, I want to open a shop, but I've been looking for a long time and haven't found a suitable one. I think your place is pretty good."

As soon as Zhao Jing explained, the round-faced girl understood immediately, picked up the menu, and ran to find the boss.

A few minutes later, a woman with a worried look came out. After seeing Zhao Jing and the others, she forced a smile and introduced herself: "Hello, my surname is Chen, and I am the owner of this shop. I heard from Xiao Xing that you want to buy my shop?"

"Yes, we've been looking at shops for a while but haven't found anything suitable. Today, your staff told us that they sell this here, and after looking at it, I think it looks alright, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Zhao Jing asked, feigning calmness.

Mr. Chen said, "To be honest, I've been running this shop for over ten years, and I have a lot of feelings for it. If it weren't for my troublesome son who requires me to pay compensation to others, I would never have sold the shop."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.

Hearing what Boss Chen said, Zhao Jing and Xu Jia softened. Zhao Jing asked, "So how much are you planning to sell this shop for?"

"Four and a half million!"

"This is too expensive!"

Zhao Jing was somewhat frightened; even if they took out all their money, they only had a little over a million yuan.

Mr. Chen insisted on the price she quoted and continued, "If it weren't for this incident in my family, who would sell their livelihood for the rest of their life? Besides, my shop is 200 square meters upstairs and downstairs, and the tables and chairs inside were all replaced last year. If you sell food, you can continue to use them. The location is in the most prosperous commercial street, so you don't have to worry about business at all."

Zhao Jing was tempted by what Boss Chen said, but the amount was too much, and she felt it was a pity. She could only say, "We need to go home and discuss it."

Mr. Chen noticed Zhao Jing's interest and gave her his contact information, telling her to contact him anytime after she had thought it over.

After saying that, he asked the round-faced girl, whom Boss Chen called Xiaoxing, to serve Ye Yu and the others a few dishes, and then returned to the kitchen.

Seeing that Zhao Jing really liked it, Ye Yu said to her, "Mom, let's buy it here."

"Where would we get so much money? This is four and a half million!"

Xu Jia also said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, this is too much money. Otherwise, after we finish eating, we can go and see if there's anything more suitable."

"Don't worry, I have a way. I had a classmate who was possessed by an evil spirit before, and I happened to have a way to cure him. His family is very rich, and I think they would be willing to spend a few million."

"You mean, like the time you treated the patient with Master Baiyu before?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Okay, I'll go after we finish eating. You two can go shopping or find a teahouse to rest and wait for me. I'll call you after I get the money, and we'll all meet here."

Ye Yu had arranged everything.

Hearing her daughter's arrangement, Zhao Jing knew that she was a steady and reliable person, and she was no longer worried about her.

After what happened in the alley, Xu Jia knew that her cousin was hiding many secrets, but she wouldn't ask too many questions. No matter what her cousin wanted to do, she would listen to her.

After the three finished their meal, they left the restaurant. Zhao Jing and Xu Jia went shopping hand in hand, while Xu Jia called Wang Chaohai to ask if he knew the Luo family, who were in the real estate business.

When Ye Yu heard Wang Chaohai reply that they knew each other, she asked him for a favor.

That's right, Ye Yu's plan was to go to the Luo family to treat Luo Dong's illness through Wang Chaohai's introduction. However, she asked Wang Chaohai to keep it a secret and not tell the Luo family her identity. Instead, she would disguise herself and go to the Luo family to extort a large sum of money.

At 2 PM, Ye Yu, completely covered up, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, appeared at the Luo family's door.

She was greeted by a woman wearing an apron, who looked like a servant of the Luo family.

When Ye Yu entered the house, she saw several people standing or sitting in the living room. Among them was an old lady with a serious face and neatly combed hair, who was sitting on the sofa looking at Ye Yu.

Seeing that Ye Yu was wrapped up tightly and she couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, she asked, "Are you the gentleman recommended by President Wang?"

Ye Yu lowered her voice: "Yes, I cured his old man's illness."

Hearing Ye Yu say this, Old Madam Luo was somewhat skeptical. She said, "Then you should first take a look at what illness my grandson has."

The old lady was clearly trying to test her. Ye Yu nodded and signaled someone to lead the way. Before they even reached Luo Dong's room, they heard a roar coming from inside.

As soon as the door opened, a chilling feeling rushed out. The servant who opened the door and the Luo family members all shivered. Although the heating was on inside and the sun was shining brightly outside, the room was still cold and damp.

The room was covered with yellow talismans, and peach wood swords, Buddhist beads, and other items for warding off evil spirits hung on the walls. In the middle of the room, a person was tied to a large bed. This person was Luo Dong.

Luo Dong could be described as a skeleton; his face was pale and bloodless, his eyes were sunken, and he had almost lost all his hair.

All of this is because of the soul-guiding talisman that Ye Yu implanted in his body. Judging from his condition, he will probably die in another week.

Ye Yu walked around the room, pointing to the yellow talismans and various items covering the walls, and looked at the Luo family members: "These are just for decoration, they're completely useless. Besides, this room is full of yin energy, all directed at him. If we don't save him soon, he'll surely die in a week."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Luo staggered and was supported by someone, while the other woman burst into tears.

"Stop crying, all you do is cry! Your son isn't dead yet!"

Grandma Luo scolded the woman sternly, and seeing that her crying had subsided, she asked Ye Yu, "Do you have any way to save my grandson?"

"Of course there's a way. But I need five million. Pay upfront, then I'll save the person!"

It seems that the old lady is in charge of the Luo family, Ye Yu said directly to the old lady Luo.

"Fine, we'll give you the money right now. But if you can't cure my grandson, the Luo family won't just sit idly by," Old Mrs. Luo threatened.

"Don't worry, as long as the money is right, your grandson won't see a single trace of dirt in ten minutes," Ye Yu said calmly.

Ye Yu quickly received the news that five million had been deposited into her account. Without delay, she walked directly to Luo Dong, touched his forehead with her finger, and he quieted down.

Then Ye Yu took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits and threw it at Luo Dong, shouting, "Lin!"

A flash of yellow light appeared in the room, and all the yellow talismans on the walls fell to the ground. At the same time, the chill in the room vanished, replaced by warm air from the air conditioner.

The Luo family members were stunned by this change until Luo Dong called out, "Grandma!"

Hearing Luo Dong's shouts, Grandma Luo quickly walked to the bedside and burst into tears when she saw her grandson, who had finally stopped yelling.

Luo Dong laboriously raised his hand and pointed to the long-awaited sunlight streaming in through the window: "I want to bask in the sun."

Upon hearing his words, the Luo family members hurriedly tried to move him, but Ye Yu had already turned and left the Luo family.

Ye Yu did not completely cure Luo Dong, because the soul-guiding talisman had been in Luo Dong's body for some time, and the yin energy had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow. From now on, he would be accompanied by a cold body and would live for at most five or six years. After all, he had indirectly caused the original owner's death.

After leaving the Luo family's house, Ye Yu immediately called Zhao Jing. The three of them went to the shop, found Boss Chen, and bought the shop.
