Xiao Ning nodded, finding her panicked expression amusing: "Of course, if you can negotiate down to 200 million, I can give you 10%. Of course, I also know that 200 million is almost impossible!"
Chu Xiaozhu felt much more at ease and smiled warmly, "A gentleman's word is his bond! Mr. Xiao, it's settled then! I'll go prepare the power of attorney right away and contact a buyer for you immediately. Please wait a moment!"
Seeing that the business deal was basically settled, Chu Xiaozhu's eyes revealed excitement.
Xiao Ning readily agreed: "No problem, just bring me the agreement and all the documents that need to be signed so I can sign them!"
"This is my business card. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything!"
Chu Xiaozhu took out a business card from her bag, placed it on the table, and bowed slightly: "Mr. Xiao, wait for my good news! I'll take my leave now!"
Xiao Ning nodded: "Go!"
Watching Chu Xiaozhu sway her slender waist as she left, Xiao Ning clicked his tongue in admiration: "Sure enough, it's good to be rich! I could never have met such beautiful women before, but now, I can just snap my fingers and find a whole platoon of them!"
"However, money, though good, is just an external thing!"
"Women affect my punching speed!"
Ultimately, strength is the most important thing. Great power belongs to oneself; no one can take it away or steal it from you!
Although Xiao Ning admired Chu Xiaozhu's beauty, he did not want to possess her. To him, power, wealth, and beauty were ultimately less important than his own strength.
After the house sale was settled, Xiao Ning finally had some free time to take a good look at her health.
While he was in the detention center, there were many people and lots of gossip, and he didn't want to reveal that he possessed martial arts skills, so he never checked his own martial arts level.
Now that he finally had some free time, Xiao Ning sat cross-legged on the sofa, took a deep breath, and immersed his mind in a state of tranquility.
"Huh, how could this be?"
After a long pause, he frowned.
In his spiritual perception, he sensed that the primordial energy of heaven and earth floating in the air was very scarce, only a few here and there, or even almost non-existent, nearly a thousand times thinner than in the world of Yitian.
If he hadn't reached the level of a martial arts grandmaster, he wouldn't have been able to sense their existence at all.
In such a barren environment of elemental energy, if martial artists existed in this world, they would probably never even touch the edge of the Innate Realm.
Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Xiao Ning has never heard of the existence of martial artists in this world.
Xiao Ning studied martial arts at Tagou Martial Arts School for four years.
Before leaving, he was excited. After all, he was going to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. What an enviable place! Yi Jin Jing, Seventy-two Shaolin Arts, here I come!
Upon learning that he was going to Shaolin to learn martial arts, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.
After studying for a year.
Xiao Ning then realized that the so-called martial arts only included free fighting and performance routines, and there were no martial arts manuals or peerless masters as he had imagined.
So-called martial arts are just fictions created by novelists and screenwriters; they don't exist in the real world at all.
With her childhood dream shattered, one can imagine how disappointed Xiao Ning must have been.
However, several years later, a fortuitous encounter made Xiao Ning the only martial arts master in the real world with unparalleled martial arts skills.
Fate is so strange and perplexing.
"There's no elemental energy in the world... what will happen to my cultivation?"
"In this real world where there is almost no elemental energy, let alone improving one's strength, even absorbing enough elemental energy to maintain bodily functions is an extremely difficult task!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning's expression turned even more unpleasant.
"Does this mean I'll have to spend the rest of my life in dungeon worlds? I'll never be able to return to Earth?"
"Impossible! I want to be filial to my grandparents and take care of them until their death. If I were to live a life of seclusion, wouldn't I be no different from an animal?"
"There must be a way, I just don't know it yet. I haven't found a suitable solution to this problem! There definitely is!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning felt a surge of hope again.
The true fluid within the body gurgles and flows, originating from the lower dantian, passing through the twelve regular meridians, traversing the eight extraordinary meridians, exiting through the Ren and Du meridians, and then circulating back, thus completing a small cycle.
This cycle repeated itself for thirty-six cycles. After that, Xiao Ning opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Right now, we can only take it one step at a time!"
"Ring ring!" The doorbell rang, and Chu Xiaozhu's personal consultant returned.
“Mr. Xiao, after I got back, I spread the word, and people contacted me immediately. They are all very interested in this villa, and three clients have already made offers!”
The first thing Chu Xiaozhu said after entering made Xiao Ning overjoyed.

Chapter 15 Arrival in Linjiang
"Good morning/afternoon, passengers. Train G1421 is about to arrive at the station. Please proceed to gate 20 for ticket inspection!"
An announcement was made in the waiting room of Yuhang East Railway Station.
In the bustling waiting hall, Xiao Ning, dressed casually, got up from her seat and headed to gate 20.
Xiao Ning took out her ID card, placed it at the ticket gate, and with a "beep!" the gate opened. She walked in, walked a short distance, and arrived at the platform to wait for the bullet train to arrive.
Today is January 21, 2021. It has been 15 days since Xiao Ning returned from the world of Yitian, and 11 days since he was released from the detention center.
