Chen Fan insisted, "No, I have to take the college entrance exam. My mom really wants me to get into university, and I can't let her down."
"Hehe, you won't say that later." Lin Qing smiled calmly, his divine sense instantly spreading out.
"Ring ring ring," Chen Fan's phone rang.
"Mom?" Chen Fan glanced at the time; it was only 7:30. He then answered the phone, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Wang Xiaoyun: "Xiaofan, Professor Lin from Tsinghua University just told me. Don't worry, Mom agrees. It's a good thing that you can enter Tsinghua University ahead of schedule."
"Mom is so happy. Your dad and I were both shocked when we heard the news."
"Let me tell you, when you go to the capital, you need to take good care of yourself. I'll talk to your Aunt Tang later, and you can pack your things and wait for Teacher Lin to come find you. Then you can go to the capital together."
After giving Chen Fan a couple more instructions, he hung up the phone without giving him a chance to speak.
"Did you do this?" Chen Fan put down his phone and stared at Lin Qing, looking somewhat helpless.
"Yes, my current identity is a professor at Tsinghua University. I'm taking you as my student and letting you study at Tsinghua ahead of schedule. Okay, hurry up and get ready. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock."
After saying that, Lin Qing waved his hand and sent Chen Fan away.
"It seems my campus life is over." Chen Fan said with a hint of regret.
"My master even escorted me to my doorstep," Chen Fan said, fixing his hair before ringing Aunt Tang's doorbell.
An hour and a half later, Lin Qing appeared at the Lakeside Community with a different look on her face. Aunt Tang and Chen Fan were already waiting there.
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Hello, you must be Ms. Tang. I am Professor Lin from Tsinghua University. Xiao Fan, have you packed your things?"
"Hello, hello, thank you so much. Xiao Fan will need your help. He's only been with us for a few days, and he's already going to the capital."
Chen Fan said in a mature tone, "I'm all packed up, Aunt Tang. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
Aunt Tang said, "You child, you can take care of yourself, but you still make Professor Lin worry."
"Don't worry, Ms. Tang, I'm his teacher, how could I not take good care of him?" Lin Qing patted her chest and assured her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Qing led Chen Fan into a taxi and drove off into the distance.
The capital city.
"Master, what exactly is your plan, and why did you come to the capital?" Chen Fan couldn't help but ask.
"You'll find out when the time comes. The person I'm taking you to meet is a very important figure, the most powerful person in China." Lin Qing kept everyone in suspense.
"Could it be Old Hu?" Chen Fan immediately thought of the person Lin Qing had mentioned.
"Not bad." Lin Qing nodded, then disappeared with Chen Fan.
Zhongnanhai.
Old Hu was sitting upright at his desk in the room, his brows furrowed. Recently, the supernatural forces from other countries and some underground forces in China had been giving him a terrible headache.
Although Kunlun is the guardian of China, its numbers are still too few. Some families, relying on their powerful influence, are becoming increasingly unscrupulous.
"What's wrong, Mr. Hu? Are you troubled by those unruly families in China and the special forces in other countries?" Lin Qing's voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Old Hu's expression changed slightly, and he shouted sharply, "Who?"
Lin Qing introduced himself, saying, "I am Lin Qing. Greetings, Elder Hu. This is my disciple, Chen Fan."
Old Hu's eyes were sharp as he looked at Lin Qing and asked, "How did you get in? Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang?"
"Hmm?" Old Hu's expression darkened when he saw that Xiao Wang, who was standing at the door, seemed not to have heard him. He knew that the person who came was not an ordinary person.
"It seems you've come to see me because you have something to discuss!" Although he knew he was in a predicament, Old Hu was not flustered at all.
Lin Qing clasped his hands and said, "As expected of Elder Hu, such spirit is truly admirable. Indeed, I have important matters to discuss with you this time, and they concern the entire nation of China."
"Please sit down!" As a leader of China, Old Hu certainly had that much magnanimity.
Lin Qing didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair in front of the desk, while Chen Fan stood beside Lin Qing.
Chen Fan was also eager to know what Lin Qing was trying to do.
"Mr. Lin Qing, what important matter do you speak of that you brought your apprentice here to see this old man in person?" Old Hu said with a smile.
"I wonder what Elder Hu's views are on civilizations beyond Earth?" Lin Qing didn't answer directly, but instead asked a question.
Old Hu shook his head and said, "Civilizations beyond Earth? Aliens? Mr. Lin Qing, not only in China, but even in the United States, no one has discovered aliens yet."
"Hehe, Elder Hu is joking. I believe you should know about the Tianhuang Star Region as well!" Lin Qing chuckled and said.
When the Desolate Star Domain came out of Lin Qing's mouth, Chen Fan behind him was slightly surprised: "Sure enough, my cheap master is really not simple."
Old Hu, who had been smiling, suddenly turned serious and said, "It seems that Mr. Lin Qing is indeed not simple."
These words revealed that Old Hu also knew something about things beyond Earth.
"Due to our limited capabilities, I only know that our Earth is located in the Desolate Star Region, and we have never discovered any extraterrestrial civilizations."
"Of course, there are still some powerful beings on Earth, but we dare not provoke them at all and can only treat them with respect."
Clearly, Hu Jintao was very dissatisfied with these outlaws who refused to submit to the leadership of China, but China's capabilities were limited, so this was all he could do.
“Those guys are nothing but clowns. Destroying them will be a piece of cake. What I’m about to talk about concerns the Heavenly Desolate Star Region,” Lin Qing said seriously.
Old Hu straightened up and said, "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
Chen Fan immediately listened intently to what Lin Qing was saying.
Chapter 541 Gathering (Third update, bonus chapter for Elder Miuz)
"Let me first tell you about the cultivation system in the universe. It is divided into eight realms." Lin Qing spent some time explaining the cultivation system to Elder Hu.
"Is this really true? A Golden Core cultivator can traverse the universe with his physical body? A Dao Integration cultivator can live for millions of years and swallow the sun whole?" Lin Qing's words opened the door to a new world for Elder Hu.
Lin Qing nodded and said, "That's right. He is only at the second level of the Innate Realm, yet he can ride the wind for 90,000 miles and live for more than 500 years."
"Could it be that my master wasn't bragging? But I've never heard of his name in my previous life!" Chen Fan was already deeply shaken.
He had always thought Lin Qing was just a reclusive cultivator on Earth, but now he had explained the cultivation system of the universe so clearly that he had to re-examine Lin Qing's previous words.
After calming himself down, Mr. Hu said, "This is truly shocking. Is what you're talking about related to this?"
Lin Qing said, "That's right. I plan to let all Chinese people cultivate. This will be a leap forward for China, allowing it to rise among the myriad races of the starry sky."
“Master, spiritual energy on Earth is quite scarce these days, making it impossible for everyone to cultivate. Moreover, those who cultivate need aptitude,” Chen Fan said before Elder Hu could speak.
"Mr. Lin Qing, is what your disciple said true?" Upon hearing what Lin Qing said, Old Hu's heart was stirred, but Chen Fan's words were like a wake-up call.
“What my disciple said is correct, but those are secondary. I have a method to bring the spiritual energy of China to a suitable concentration.”
Lin Qing looked at Chen Fan and said irritably, "As for cultivation aptitude, is your cultivation technique fake?"
"Ah, Master, are you planning to let everyone in China practice your self-created cultivation method?" Chen Fan was immediately taken aback.
Chen Fan knew how powerful this technique was. No matter who possessed such a powerful technique, they would all keep it hidden. He never expected that his master would actually promote it to hundreds of millions of people.
Lin Qing said, "Why not? Cultivation techniques are meant for people to practice. Elder Hu, what do you think about this? If you have any concerns, you can speak up."
After a moment of contemplation, Old Hu said, "Sir, this matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss it with them."
Lin Qing naturally knew that this was not a decision that Old Hu could make alone: "No problem, this matter does need to be discussed."
Old Hu stood up, gestured, and said, "I will be having an emergency meeting with senior management in an hour. I hope you can attend."
"Definitely!" Lin Qing reached out and shook hands with Old Hu.
Old Hu withdrew his hand and then asked, "If I may ask, what realm is the Immortal Master at?"
"As for me, I am above the Tribulation Transcending stage. To allow me to appear, simply silently recite 'Dragon King Lin Qing' in your heart." After saying this, Lin Qing waved his hand and disappeared from the spot with Chen Fan.
"Beyond the Tribulation? Wouldn't that mean destroying the Earth with a flick of the wrist?" Although Old Hu was somewhat skeptical, the most important thing now was to discuss it with the others.
Of course, he wasn't stupid to have reached such a position. He would definitely summon the people from Kunlun, and he also needed to bring in the armed forces. No matter what, he would have to test them out.
"Xiao Wang."
"Old Hu, what are your orders?"
Mr. Hu said, "Immediately notify everyone to convene an emergency meeting. No one can be absent, and unless they are abroad, they must be there within an hour."
"yes!"
"Oh, and Kunlun too. Call Ye Qingcang and the others over. This time, it's a matter of great importance." Old Hu's expression was grave.
"Also, there's no need to notify those high-ranking individuals who are connected to the family's influence."
"Yes! I'll take care of it right away." Xiao Wang also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately went to notify them as quickly as possible.
In an empty room somewhere inside the Forbidden City.
Chen Fan asked impatiently, "Master, you just said you're above the Tribulation Transcending level, is that true?"
Lin Qing, sipping a bottle of Wahaha, said, "Of course it's true. What, don't you believe your teacher?"
"This is truly appalling." Chen Fan didn't know what to say at this point.
He also knew how difficult it was to cultivate to the Tribulation Transcending stage. Could it be that he was a Tribulation Transcending master in his previous life, who died in the Heavenly Tribulation and was reborn?
"Haha, don't worry about it so much. You'll see soon enough whether I'm lying or not," Lin Qing said, patting Chen Fan on the shoulder.
Chen Fan asked, puzzled, "Later?"
"Yes, Old Hu and the others won't believe me just because I say a few words. He sent me there so that I could demonstrate my strength, which suits me just fine."
"Alright, you can continue your cultivation as you wish, or eat and drink as you like. I'll just take a nap first." Lin Qing took out a sofa and lay down to rest.
Chen Fan shook his head at Lin Qing, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating on his own.
Soon, an hour passed, and Lin Qing still hadn't woken up. Half an hour later, Lin Qing suddenly woke up from her sleep.
"Alright, let's get back to work. Old Hu wants us to go over there. It seems they've almost finished discussing things and are just waiting for me."
"Phew! It's Master." Chen Fan exhaled a long puff of white mist.
In a conference room somewhere.
There were more than a dozen high-ranking Chinese officials inside, along with dozens of fully armed men who strictly controlled every part of the conference room. There was no one else within a mile of the conference room.
Standing beside Elder Hu were several high-ranking members of Kunlun, namely Ye Qingcang, Zhuque, and Qinglong.
"How did your discussion go?" Lin Qing appeared in the conference room, accompanied by Chen Fan, who stood behind him.
