chapter 2 He's actually a drug addict

The Eye of Heaven, Arno Lin remembered that in his previous life, he had become enemies with his master and closest friends over this treasure. They had attacked him, and he died as a result. The mere thought of this memory ignited immense anger in Arno Lin's heart.

They had not only killed him but, when faced with their junior sister, his own biological daughter, they had shown no hesitation in their actions. They were nothing more than beasts! This realization made Arno Lin's lips bleed as he bit them in fury.

A drop of blood drifted mysteriously into the Eye of Heaven. "Boom!" Arno Lin's brain felt like it exploded like the universe, causing intense pain. The Eye of Heaven returned to his forehead.

After a while, a golden light flashed in Arno Lin's eyes, and then everything returned to normal. However, the Eye of Heaven remained unresponsive to his calls.

"This Eye of Heaven is too mysterious. Even I have very little information about it," Arno Lin furrowed his brow but didn't dwell on it any further. At least it had helped him detoxify, ensuring he didn't die immediately upon his return.

As for the uses of the Eye of Heaven, it appeared he would need to study it gradually.

"Arno Lin..."

Having absorbed most of Eli Lin's memories, Arno Lin couldn't help but think of the original owner of this body. He could only think of him in three words: scum. He was a typical debauched young man, not very intelligent, who didn't even realize that he had fallen into such a simple trap set by a few friends. Moreover, he was poisoned to death by his sister-in-law.

What troubled Arno Lin the most was that this guy's body was incredibly frail. After spending his days reveling in entertainment venues and nightclubs, this body had been depleted long ago, and the recent poisoning had made it even weaker.

The most urgent task now was to start cultivating, at least breaking through the First Level of Body Refinement. Without much thought, Arno Lin immediately began meditating.

He had already made up his mind about which cultivation technique to use. In his previous life, he had cultivated a fragmentary technique he found on Earth, the "Hualong Formula." Although it had eventually helped him successfully ascend, it wasn't considered a top-notch technique once he arrived in the Fantasy World.

In this rebirth, it was an excellent opportunity to choose a superior cultivation technique to quickly restore his strength. Just as Arno Lin was thinking along these lines, the Eye of Heaven suddenly shone again, and a cryptic message appeared in his mind.

"Five Elements Formula!"

These five golden characters in his mind left Arno Lin astonished. "Could this be one of the secrets of the Eye of Heaven?"

Arno Lin could immediately see the extraordinary value of this technique, perhaps even surpassing the combined worth of all the techniques he had known. After a night of cultivation, Arno Lin opened his eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and felt that his body had recovered significantly. He had even broken through to the First Level of Body Refinement.

"Huh? The Nine Dragons Cauldron? My last life's primary artifact has come with me!"

Using the Eye of Heaven' ability to peer inside his own dantian, Arno Lin was both surprised and delighted. Not only did he have the Eye of Heaven, but the Nine Dragons Cauldron had also come along. Unfortunately, it was now in a seriously damaged state.

Nevertheless, with these two items, restoring his cultivation to its former level was only a matter of time.

Arno Lin was satisfied with the progress of his one-night cultivation. Although he had only reached the first stage of the Body Refining realm, he was now much stronger than the previous owner of this body.

Just then, a knocking sound came from the door. Arno Lin got up to open it and found a stunning woman standing outside. She looked to be in her early twenties, and her beauty was beyond comparison, even with any female cultivators he had seen in the Fantasy World, except for his beloved Zeki Chen.

Her eyes were as bright as autumn moons, clear as spring water, and she wore no makeup, yet she was extraordinarily captivating. Arno Lin immediately recognized her as his wife, Kari Chu.

Their marriage had been arranged due to a political alliance between the Lin and Chu families, and she had no choice but to marry him, a pampered second-generation scion.

"I know everything that happened. Come with me," Kari Chu's expression was complex. She wished she didn't know this man, but the reality forced her to come to his aid once again.

Arno Lin followed Kari Chu but couldn't help but feel a chill. Apologize? That was impossible. It wasn't his fault; this was a malicious scheme set up against him.

Seeing Arno Lin obediently following her, Kari Chu was surprised, but she couldn't hide the bitterness in her heart. She wondered if she had become completely hopeless or numb to her situation.

Outside the hotel, Kari Chu hailed a taxi, and Arno Lin asked, "Don't we have a car?"

"Didn't you sell it because you needed money?" Kari Chu got into the taxi without further conversation.

Arno Lin was momentarily confused but soon remembered the situation. He cursed the original owner of this body for being a drug addict who sold his car after losing his source of income.

During the ride, Kari Chu remained cold and expressionless, making Arno Lin feel uneasy. He attempted to strike up a conversation several times but found they had nothing to talk about. Additionally, the original Arno Lin had deeply hurt Kari Chu, and it seemed she believed he had brought this trouble upon himself.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the Lin family's villa. As Arno Lin stepped out of the vehicle, a young man approached him with a mocking smile, "Oh, look who's here, Arno Lin, the one who had indecent intentions toward his own sister-in-law. How's it going? Came by taxi? You're really disgracing our Lin family!"

"None of your business!" Arno Lin shot back, surprising the man.

Kari Chu sighed softly and was worried that Arno Lin would cause trouble. She pulled him along to avoid further confrontation. However, the young man continued taunting, "Arno Lin, your wife is so beautiful. If you're short on cash, why not lend her to me for a few days? What do you say?"

Arno Lin turned around, a murderous look in his eyes. "Lend your ass!"

Smack!

He delivered a resounding slap to the man's face.
