Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

"No..."

In a VIP ward at the First People's Hospital of Haijiang City, Wang Xingyu cried out and sat up in a panic, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

terrible!

Just now, Wang Xingyu experienced a real apocalypse in his sleep.

Meteorites fell from the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the earth cracked, volcanoes erupted, and fierce winds raged...

The entire planet turned to dust in an instant.

Wang Xingyu has seen Hollywood disaster movies before.

He originally thought those films were already quite good, but compared to real disasters, they were worlds apart.

What place is this?

Wang Xingyu frowned, glanced around, and found himself in a hospital ward with an IV drip in his hand. A long-forgotten memory surged up.

The reason for using the phrase "long-sealed" is because Wang Xingyu had a dream that lasted for more than two hundred years.

The dream was so real that it left him feeling somewhat disoriented, as if he had traveled back two hundred years to modern society.

Fortunately, everything in the dream quickly faded away, and the memories of reality surfaced.

"Bang"

The door to the ward was violently pushed open.

Five burly men with wild appearances filed in.

The leader was a burly man, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build. He had a shaved head, a thick gold chain around his neck, and a cold, sharp gaze. He exuded an imposing aura.

Wang Xingyu recognized the man as Lu Hu, the gangster boss who had beaten him up and sent him to the hospital.

"Is Dr. Wang awake?"

Lu Hu grinned, revealing his blackened and yellowed front teeth, and said with a playful tone, "I thought you were going to sleep forever."

Wang Xingyu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was incredibly surprised because he discovered that an extra bead had appeared in his brain.

Wang Xingyu was very familiar with this bead; it was the innate treasure, the Karma Bead, from the Star of Wind and Moon.

Fengyue Star is a planet in Wang Xingyu's dream. It is rich in spiritual energy and reveres Taoism. There are thousands of sects of all sizes that cultivate Taoism.

The cultivation realm is divided into five levels: nourishing the spirit, controlling objects, leaving the body, yin spirit, and yang spirit.

The previous owner of the Karma Pearl was Qingye, an elder of the Qingxia Sect who had the cultivation of the Out-of-Body Realm, making him a master of considerable skill.

The Karma Bead is a magical artifact that Taoist Qingye found in a ruin, but unfortunately he has never known how to use it.

Years later, Fengyue Star encountered a great calamity. Taoist Qingye was struck by a meteorite the size of a palm and died on the spot.

For some reason, the Causal Bead was activated, carrying the primordial spirit of Taoist Qingye, and disappeared into the vast universe. It was then found by Wang Xingyu on the mountain in his hometown on Earth, and he wore it for twenty years.

Three days ago, Wang Xingyu was beaten up by Lu Hu's men, and the blood stained the Causal Bead, which then entered his head.

The reason Wang Xingyu was unconscious for three days and three nights was mainly to merge with the primordial spirit of Daoist Qingye, thereby obtaining his cultivation and memories.

Having the Causal Bead wasn't a big deal, but what truly surprised Wang Xingyu was that as soon as Lu Hu entered the room, the Causal Bead in his sea of ​​consciousness began to vibrate, and then a red number "195320" appeared on the other man's forehead.

Wang Xingyu couldn't figure out what the number represented, but he felt a little uncomfortable looking at the Land Rover, as if he were looking at a monster in a game.

With a thought, the red numbers vanished without a trace.

Huh?

Could this number be manipulated at will?

"out!"

The red numbers reappear.

"Disperse!"

The red numbers vanished instantly.

Wang Xingyu then looked at the other thugs and tried it, but it didn't work.

Could this be the causal power of Lu Hu?

The reason why others don't show up is because their causal power is too low; it will only manifest when it exceeds a certain number.

Wang Xingyu concentrated his magic power on the Causal Bead, and the Causal Bead immediately shone brightly.

He could clearly see countless causal lines wrapped around Lu Hu's body, the thickest of which was a red causal line.

Wang Xingyu clicked on it, and a scene appeared before his eyes: Lu Hu feeding two female college students heroin and then killing them.

Holy crap, this Karma Bead is amazing!

"Dr. Wang, did you hear me?"

Lu Hu's angry voice brought Wang Xingyu back to his senses.

"What?"

Seeing that Wang Xingyu seemed to be feigning ignorance, Lu Hu's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Eight million six hundred thousand, when are you going to pay me back?"

Wang Xingyu frowned and said, "I remember the repayment deadline is three months from now."

Lu Hu said coldly, "The plan has changed. I'll give you a maximum of one month. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

You dare threaten me?

A hint of disdain appeared on Wang Xingyu's lips.

"Okay. I'll have raised 8.6 million and give it to you in a month."

"What if we can't collect them all?"

"I'll give you my life."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hu scoffed and said, "Your life is worth 8.6 million? Don't overestimate yourself. However, your wife is quite valuable. She's as beautiful as an angel; if she were willing to work, she could pay off the debt in less than a year."

You're asking for it!

Wang Xingyu was furious, and his murderous intent surged.

He moved his fingers, and a surge of magical power quickly emerged, condensing into a talisman invisible to ordinary people, which silently entered Lu Hu's body.

This is the "Soul Devouring Curse," which can be cast by any cultivator who has reached the level of object manipulation.

However, only experts with the Nascent Soul cultivation level could achieve the "void condensation of talismans" "silently and without a trace."

Those afflicted by the "Soul-Eating Curse" will suffer excruciating pain, as if their souls are being torn apart, every night between 11 PM and 1 AM.

Basically, no one can survive a week.

Wang Xingyu's spellcasting process was extremely smooth, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times, and he didn't care about Lu Hu's life at all.

Treating human life like ants...

Wang Xingyu suddenly realized that the Taoist Qingye seemed to have a great influence on his personality and mind, which made him secretly wary.

Lu Hu suddenly felt a chill enter his body and couldn't help but shiver, pulling his clothes tighter around himself.

"That's my ex-wife. If you dare to touch her or my daughter, I'll put this 8.6 million on the black market to buy your life."

Wang Xingyu removed the gauze from his head, his tone icy cold.

Lu Hu glared at Wang Xingyu, pointed at him, and said, "You dare threaten me?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Wang Xingyu's eyes were sinister, exuding murderous intent, and the temperature in the ward seemed to drop several degrees instantly.

Lu Hu unconsciously took a step back, feeling a sudden pang of fear.

This is the aura of a Taoist practitioner.

Lu Hu is just an ordinary person, how could he possibly withstand it?

"Okay, I'll collect the money from you in a month. If you can't pay it back, you'll regret it."

After saying that, Lu Hu turned to leave.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit afraid of Wang Xingyu.

It's clearly the same person, so why is there such a big difference between them and three days ago?

"etc."

Wang Xingyu composed himself and said calmly, "Mr. Lu, I have two questions for you."

Lu Hu stopped and asked, "What's the problem?"

Wang Xingyu asked, "The first question is about Xie Xiaoqing. Did she trick me?"
