Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

After dinner, Li Xiaoyao received a call from Zhang Meng, asking what time he would return.

"I'll come back right away."

Li Xiaoyao took a taxi to Zitian Hua Fu, a high-end residential community with a greenery coverage of 60%, resembling an oasis in the heart of the city.

Since Zhang Meng had the keys, and the security in this community was very tight, Li Xiaoyao could only show his ID at the gate and have the security guard contact the unit where Zhang Meng was located. Only after getting Zhang Meng's confirmation was he allowed to enter the community.

At first, Zhang Meng's father thought Li Xiaoyao was a wealthy man because he arrived in a Mercedes. But later, when he heard from Zhang Meng that the car belonged to the company, his heart sank.

He had thought he was dealing with a rich second generation, only to find out he was just an employee working for someone else.

However, working for someone else wasn't bad, as long as he treated his daughter well, Zhang Meng's father was satisfied.

Today, while Zhang Meng's father was eating noodles at a roadside stall, he suddenly received a call from his daughter, asking where he was.

After giving his location, it wasn't ten minutes before a white sedan suddenly stopped by the roadside. Then, he watched his daughter step out of the car.

It took Zhang Meng's father several hours to accept the fact that Li Xiaoyao was a major tycoon.

The truth was, Li Xiaoyao's change in status happened too quickly for Zhang Meng's father to immediately accept.

Li Xiaoyao walked into the new apartment, which felt more lively than it had during the day.

After Li Xiaoyao had left in the afternoon, Zhang Meng and her father bought many things to furnish the new apartment.

The dinner was prepared by Zhang Meng, who had quite good cooking skills.

The three sat at a table, and Li Xiaoyao said, "In a while, I'll be opening an antique store at Chaotian Palace, and I'll leave that store for you to manage."

"But I don't know anything about antiques," Zhang Meng fretted. On one hand, she was very happy that Li Xiaoyao trusted her with such an important matter; on the other hand, she worried she might not do well.

Li Xiaoyao said, "You don't need to understand. Everything is clearly priced. When someone comes to buy, you just sell at the listed price."

"Is it really that simple?" Zhang Meng, though not knowledgeable about antiques, knew that dealing in antiques wouldn't be as easy as Li Xiaoyao made it sound.

Zhang Meng did not speak further of her lack of understanding. If she didn't know, she'd learn. She couldn't be a woman who only knew how to spend time and money on leisure and pleasure without being capable of anything else.

After the meal, Li Xiaoyao received a call from Lin Yuanyuan, and he walked onto the balcony with his cellphone.

"What's up?"

Although nominally, Li Xiaoyao was Lin Yuanyuan's bodyguard during this period, he had actually been quite busy, and Lin Yuanyuan herself wasn't in much danger, with or without a bodyguard.

But when Lin Yuanyuan called, he still answered. After spending the last few days with her, Li Xiaoyao felt that this woman wasn't entirely worthless.

"Come pick me up tomorrow morning."

"What time in the morning?"

"Nine o'clock." Lin Yuanyuan paused, then added, "There's a charity auction tomorrow, and I need to attend on behalf of my father."

"A charity auction?" Li Xiaoyao suddenly remembered the auction Cheng Dongliang mentioned to him, which was also happening tomorrow.

"Which hotel is the auction being held at?"

Lin Yuanyuan replied, "It's at the Greenland InterContinental Hotel. Why do you ask?"

"Just asking."

After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao began to look forward to the auction the next day.

At bedtime, Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Meng slept separately, since Zhang Meng's father was still there, and Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Meng were only in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Sharing a bed would leave Zhang Meng's father without complaints outwardly, but likely dissatisfied inwardly.

Li Xiaoyao was alone in the bedroom on the second floor, sitting cross-legged on the floor.

The night before, when Li Xiaoyao treated Cheng Dongliang, he depleted all the Spiritual Power in his Dantian, which led to his breakthrough to a new realm.

As his strength grew, Li Xiaoyao found his array of skills to be somewhat lacking.

For example, martial arts, or Immortal Law.

Li Xiaoyao had over 60,000 spirit stones left in the system, and he opened the system to carefully make his selection.

"Eight-Nine Mystical Art? Isn't this Sun Wukong's signature technique?"

"Holy shit, this is freaking awesome," he exclaimed, "the system actually has such terrifying spells!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Eight-Nine Mystical Art, commonly known as the Seventy-Two Transformations.

In fact, the Seventy-Two Transformations don't refer to seventy-two different types of changes, but rather seventy-two kinds of divine skills. Discover hidden tales at empire

Each transformation is a divine skill, and if one could master them all, they would become extremely terrifying.

Cultivation Technique: Eight-Nine Mystical Art, alias: Seventy-Two Transformations!

Description: The seventy-two kinds of transformations, passed down from Subhuti, are from the Taoism Origin!

Price: 35 million spirit stones.

Li Xiaoyao's eyelids twitched as he saw the price.

Although he was amazed that the system even had access to mythological Cultivation Techniques, the frightening price made him hesitant.

All of Li Xiaoyao's assets combined amounted to just under 70,000 spirit stones—affording the Seventy-Two Transformations would take an unknown amount of time!

"Damn you, system, are you playing with me?"

"I can see it, but can't afford it, crap!"

Li Xiaoyao was frustrated to the point of gnashing his teeth, yet even though he couldn't afford it, he couldn't bring himself to close the page.

Li Xiaoyao accidentally clicked on purchase, and immediately a cold, mechanical voice resounded in his mind.

"Eight-Nine Mystical Art, purchased successfully!"

Li Xiaoyao blinked, dazed for several seconds, before suddenly snapping back to reality.

"Holy crap!"

"What's going on here? Wasn't I short on spiritual power? How did the purchase succeed?"

"Who cares, I'm the one who benefits from this anyway."

Li Xiaoyao excitedly reviewed the Eight-Nine Mystical Art he had just bought, and upon inspecting it, he immediately understood why he could afford it.

"Eight-Nine Mystical Art: Sword Technique!"

The Eight-Nine Mystical Art could actually be purchased separately!

The part that Li Xiaoyao bought was its sword technique.

Although it was just one divine skill, Li Xiaoyao was quite satisfied.

Just think, when Sun Wukong cultivated the Eight-Nine Mystical Art back in the day, he caused a ruckus in the entire Chaotian Palace.

Now, although Li Xiaoyao only had one sword technique, he believed that with this single divine skill, he could dominate unabashedly on Earth.

Li Xiaoyao continued browsing the system; he still had over 10,000 spirit stones, enough to buy a low-level spell or martial skill.

In the end, Li Xiaoyao bought a Mortal Rank First Grade spell: Thunder Commanding Art and a Mortal Rank First Grade martial skill: Sword Control Nine Forms.

As Li Xiaoyao opened the martial skill and spell, a massive flow of information surged into his mind.

This deluge of information was like raging sea water, leaving Li Xiaoyao feeling dizzy.

With the influx of this information, Li Xiaoyao also felt as though he had already integrated and fully understood these newly acquired martial skills and spells, and the Cultivation Technique, Eight-Nine Mystical Art—Sword Technique, was also thoroughly comprehensible to him.

"This system is really amazing. The martial skills, spells, and Cultivation Techniques I bought can be learned in the shortest time possible. This way, the issue of inherent talent is no longer a problem."

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly, shut his eyes, and started cultivating the new Cultivation Technique—Eight-Nine Mystical Art.
