"I'll find a place to recuperate," Xia Yinxue said to Long Chen.
"Okay, whatever you want. Just don't make a mess in my place." Long Chen ignored Xia Yinxue.
He was more focused on the rainbow crystal; he needed to exchange it for money.
"It's an essential item for training. If you absorb the pure energy within it, your strength will increase," Qing Yue said to Long Chen.
"But this is 1 billion, should I use it?" Long Chen asked.
This was 1 billion, and using it for himself was difficult.
This was 1 billion; it could buy a luxury house, a small company, and all sorts of things.
This was a tough decision.
"It's just a choice: power or money. For a strong person, money isn't that important. You'll understand later," Qing Yue said to Long Chen.
"Okay, then I'll trust you." Long Chen understood.
He kept one, hoping Long Chen would use it later.
"Then I'll exchange one. I need it for later," Long Chen said to Qing Yue.
"That's a good decision," Qing Yue agreed with Long Chen.
Long Chen exchanged one rainbow crystal, and then 1 billion dollars was deposited into his account.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. Please guard this place for me." Long Chen asked Qing Yue to guard the place, so Xia Yinxue wouldn't cause trouble.
"I'm actually connected to you through a contract. If you have any questions, you can call me," Qing Yue said to Long Chen.
"Okay, I understand. I've been gone for almost a month, it's time to return." Long Chen decided to leave, anxious to see if everything worked out.
Long Chen entered the portal, completely disappearing from the cultivation world and returning to Earth.
"Huh? He's gone?" Xia Yinxue realized that Long Chen had disappeared.
Long Chen's aura was gone, and she couldn't detect him with her spiritual sense.
"Where did he go?" Xia Yinxue wondered where Long Chen might have gone.
"Wait a minute, why am I even bothering to think about where that guy went? He's just an abnormal man," Xia Yinxue said.
Xia Yinxue thought that Long Chen wasn't normal. He wasn't interested in beautiful women at all, so maybe he had a disorder.
Or maybe his inner core was malfunctioning, making him uninterested in a beautiful goddess like Xia Yinxue.
"Just focus on recovering. I'll take revenge for what they did." Xia Yinxue focused on recovering. Once her strength recovered, she intended to take revenge on the person who poisoned her.
Long Chen went outside.
"It's been a long time." Long Chen emerged from the underground.
He finally returned to his home.
Although the house was shabby, he still felt comfortable because it was his home.
"Time to see if the money came in." Long Chen checked his account.
He checked his account.
The balance in his account was $1,000,001,400.
"Seriously?" Long Chen was delighted; it seemed Qing Yue was right.
"Let's see if anyone contacted me." Long Chen looked at his phone; someone had contacted him.
It wasn't Sui Ting; it was Professor Zhao.
Professor Zhao was a very kind person; she often lectured and gave Long Chen advice.
Her name was Zhao Ying, 25 years old. She was a beautiful female professor with long hair, a well-developed body, and a beautiful smile.
Many students were excited when they were in Zhao Ying's class.
Because Professor Zhao was a kind woman who cared for everyone.
"This..." Long Chen realized something. He had been gone for almost a month, but his phone only showed about 10 days.
"What does this mean?" Long Chen wondered what was happening.
"Don't tell me…" Long Chen thought about what might have happened. Maybe the time on Earth and the cultivation world were different.
If that were true, then that would answer everything.
"I think I understand what's going on." Long Chen understood, grasping the situation quickly.
Since becoming a cultivator, he had become smarter, and he was probably getting smarter.
"Ringing…" The phone rang.
Zhao Ying called Long Chen.
"Why does the professor keep calling? If I don't answer, he'll definitely be very angry."
"Hello…" Long Chen answered the call.
"Student Long, where have you been? You've missed so many of my classes. Do you know that your scholarship could easily be revoked?" Zhao Ying spoke.
Her tone was filled with concern for Long Chen's condition and mental state.
She was a kind woman, worried about her student.
"I had important matters to attend to and didn't have time to ask for leave. I'm truly sorry for what happened."
Long Chen apologized for what had happened.
"You know you were wrong. You shouldn't have skipped class during the day."
"You should be an adult. Don't let your future be ruined by such a silly romance," Zhao Ying said to Long Chen.
It seemed Zhao Ying already knew about Long Chen's predicament.
"Don't worry, I've already put that matter behind me. I've been focused on pursuing something important recently, so I had to skip class," Long Chen replied.
Long Chen had already put that matter behind him and was focused on pursuing even greater goals.
"That's great. You have to be more diligent, or your scholarship might be revoked," Zhao Ying said.
"I understand," Long Chen said.
Honestly, Long Chen probably doesn't need those things anymore. He already has money. It's better to give them to those in need, because there are people who need them more than Long Chen right now.
"Okay, I'll go get some food first. Time to have some fun and rest. I've truly been through hell for a month." Long Chen wanted to eat delicious food.
This wasn't like hell to him.
He continued to train, and he trained until his body was badly injured and his mind was exhausted.
A short break wasn't a bad thing.
Long Chen went to a shop near his house. It just so happened that there was a fairly luxurious shop nearby.
Long Chen hadn't dared to go to this place before because he didn't have enough money. Now that he had enough, he had no more fear.
"Live well, it's time for me to come..." Long Chen decided to go inside.
When Long Chen entered, he wasn't greeted warmly by the waiters.
It seemed they didn't take him seriously.
Because Long Chen's clothes looked shabby and untidy, they assumed he was a homeless person.
Long Chen forgot to change his clothes. It couldn't be helped; he was too excited to change.
"Get out of the way, you poor man!" Just as Long Chen was about to go inside, someone told him to step aside.
It was a familiar voice.
Long Chen looked back and saw two foolish couples trying to eat.
It was Sui Ting and Qing Tang.
The two were walking together, eager to eat here.
When they saw Long Chen, they didn't forget to insult him.
"Who are you telling me to get out of the way? I want to eat here too," Long Chen replied.
"You?" Sui Ting laughed as she listened to what Long Chen had said.
"Who are you trying to fool? You can't afford to eat here. Your salary won't even last a month," he said to Long Chen.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Long Chen asked back.
"It's up to me where I want to eat, right?" Long Chen said to Sui Ting.
