The secretary was startled, although somewhat confused, he didn't dare to ask any questions.
"Alright, miss, I'll cancel the Brown family's invitation right away," the secretary promised.
Afterward, he operated on the computer for a while.
"Hold on," Emily suddenly changed her mind at that moment.
A sly glint flashed in her eyes, "Send the invitation to them as usual."
"Ah?" The secretary was even more confused.
Emily blinked her sparkling eyes and murmured softly, "I really wonder what their expressions will be like when they see Ethan at the banquet..."
...
Dragon Rising Paradise was the most high-end residential area in River City.
And the suite that Taylor Emily gave to Ethan was located right in the center.
Looking at the luxurious decorations in the room, Ethan felt it was somewhat surreal.
"I really don't know what Miss Emily's background is..." Ethan couldn't help but smile wryly.
But Ethan was very clear in his mind that favors would run out sooner or later, and only by having enough strength could one earn respect from others.
Ethan didn't waste any time.
He sat cross-legged on the sofa, eyes slightly closed, and in his mind, bursts of golden light erupted one after another.
These golden lights contained unimaginable medical holy arts and immortal cultivation techniques.
Ethan browsed through this information eagerly, and soon, he found that these medical holy arts far exceeded his imagination!
After reaching the pinnacle, not only could he heal people, but even bringing the dead back to life was not a problem!
And the immortal cultivation techniques were even more shocking to Ethan!
Just the initial Qi Refining stage allowed one to move unhindered in the world!
Reaching the Foundation Building stage, one could be called invincible! Life expectancy could reach several hundred years!
The more Ethan read, the more excited he became, a look of excitement appearing in his eyes!
"As long as I embark on the path of cultivation, the so-called Brown family is not worth mentioning," Ethan clenched his fists, instantly filled with confidence.
"Gary Brown, Sylvia, you just wait," a hint of madness flashed in Ethan's eyes.
He didn't delay any longer and immediately began to absorb the spiritual energy from his surroundings according to the methods recorded in his memory.
The spiritual energy of the entire complex, centered on Ethan, slowly converged.
The spiritual energy entered Ethan's body through his pores, crazily surging in, and finally merged with his breath in the Dantian.
It wasn't until the next morning that Ethan slowly opened his eyes.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling not the slightest bit tired but instead full of energy!
"Is this the first layer of the Qi Refining stage?" Ethan took a deep breath.
He clenched his fists, feeling the abundant power inside his body, his smile growing thicker.
Compared to his previous state of being weak as a chicken, the current Ethan had undergone a complete transformation.
Ethan tried to throw a punch, smashing it towards a huge rock beside him.
With a crisp "boom," the rock instantly turned into powder!
This made Ethan gasp in astonishment!
Just the first layer of the Qi Refining stage had such power, what strength would he possess if he advanced further?
This made Ethan even more excited!
"It's just a pity that the spiritual energy around here is too thin," Ethan sighed slightly.
In one night, the surrounding spiritual energy had already dried up, making further progress extremely difficult.
According to the records in his memory, besides absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there was another way, which was to use medicinal herbs.
The older the medicinal herbs, the more spiritual energy they contained.
After pondering for a moment, Ethan decided to go out to the pharmacy to buy a batch of medicinal herbs.
He rummaged through his pockets and found a total of one hundred and thirty-two dollars.
This made Ethan smile wryly again and again.
Ever since he married Sylvia, all the money Ethan earned was handed over, and his monthly pocket money depended on Sylvia's mood.
A thirty-year-old man with only a little over a hundred dollars on him would probably be laughed at if it were known.
"It seems that even in the path of cultivation, financial support is needed," Ethan said with a wry smile.
He took the little over a hundred dollars and left the house.
Just as he reached the entrance of the complex, a Mercedes blocked his way.
As soon as the car stopped, Gary Brown and Sylvia got out.
"Ethan, are you disgusting? Following us?" Sylvia started berating him as soon as she got out of the car.
"We've already signed the divorce agreement, and you're still clinging? What's the point?" Sylvia's face was full of disgust.
Ethan gave her a cold look and said, "Don't flatter yourself."
"I'm flattering myself?" Sylvia pointed to her nose, almost laughing out loud.
"You come here early in the morning to block me, and you say I'm flattering myself?" Sylvia said with a cold face.
Gary Brown, on the other hand, stepped forward and patted Ethan's shoulder.
"Kid, Sylvia is my woman now. If you dare to bother her again, I'll break your legs, understand?" Gary Brown said with a playful look on his face.
Looking at this pair of scum, Ethan felt a wave of nausea.
He couldn't figure out how he had lived with such trash for three years.
Ethan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that trash. Keep it for yourself."
"What the fuck did you say! Who are you calling trash!" Sylvia immediately got angry, almost going berserk and screaming like a shrew.
Gary Brown immediately stepped forward, blocking Ethan's path.
He said with a cold face, "Ethan, are you tired of living? I warn you, you better kneel down and apologize to my wife right now, or I'll break your legs!"
Ethan pushed away Gary Brown's hand, clenched his fist, and said coldly, "I'll give you a chance too, kneel down and apologize to me, and I might not hold it against you!"
