Chapter 803 Obtaining the Lotus of Awakening
After returning to the Northern Continent, Su Yang went directly to the Ning Family's household.
Once they arrived at the place, Su Yang emitted some of his cultivation, creating a ripple that swept the place.
A few moments later, two familiar figures, Ning Menghua and her husband Ning Hao came outside to greet them.
"Welcome back, Seniors."
Su Yang nodded and said, "It's been a week. Did you confirm whether or not the Divine-grade cultivation technique is real?"
Ning Menghua nodded her head and said, "Yes, we have confirmed that the technique is indeed real after testing it out for a week. Compared to the Immortal-grade cultivation technique that we've dedicated our entire lives to, the Divine-grade cultivation technique is on another level and at least twice as powerful and effective."
"Since you know that the technique is real, as promised, I will be taking the Lotus of Awakening in exchange for the cultivation technique now," Su Yang said to them.
"Of course. Please, follow me."
Su Yang nodded and followed them into the building.
A few minutes later, they arrive at this large garden somewhere in the courtyard.
"The Lotus of Awakening is a special treasure that cannot be harvested normally. Do you know how to harvest it, or should I bring in the expert who usually takes care of it?" Ning Menghua asked him after showing him the Lotus of Awakening that was planted in the middle of the garden and protected by a small formation.
"I can do it myself." Su Yang said as he casually walked in front of the Lotus of Awakening before squatting down and reaching for it with his bare hands.
"What?! Don't touch it with your hands! The Lotus of Awakening will attack you!" Ning Menghua exclaimed in a startled voice after seeing what Su Yang was trying to do.
However, to her surprise, Su Yang managed to not only grab but also yank the Lotus of Awakening out of the ground as though it was special, almost like he was pulling out grass or something similar.
"Y-You… Are you okay? What about the Lotus of Awakening?" Ning Menghua asked him with a shocked expression on her face.
"Don't worry, we're both perfectly fine," Su Yang said to her with a smile on his face as he retrieved a wooden box and sealed the Lotus of Awakening inside.
"Now that this is done, let's continue onto the next topic…" Su Yang suddenly said.
"Eh?" The Ning couple looked at him with wide eyes, as they don't recall having another conversation besides the Lotus of Awakening. What did Su Yang want to talk to them about?
"This may be sudden, but your decision will affect the entire world," Su Yang said to them, and he continued, "I plan on connecting all five continents in this world together, allowing you to visit each other without needing to travel the Jade Sea, but I will need your permission. I have already gotten approval from the Western Continent's rulers, and the Eastern Continent will also be participating in this."
The Ning couple stared at him with shocked expressions, clearly in disbelief.
"If you don't want any visitors on your land, that's completely fine. However, this is a limited-time offer that will expire once I leave, and there may never be another chance like this in the future."
After a moment of silence. Ning Menghua asked, "I-If you don't mind me asking, how will this work? How can we travel to the other continents without crossing the Jade Sea? That seems impossible."
Su Yang nodded and then proceeded to explain to them about the teleportation formation.
"As long as you are willing to spend some spirit stones, these formations will take you to the other continents almost instantly with no risks."
"A-And how much do we need to pay you to create the teleportation?" Ning Hao asked him.
"I'll do it for free if you agree," Su Yang quickly responded.
"R-Really? You're willing to do something like this for free? Why? What are your intentions?" Ning Hao asked him, clearly suspicious of the whole situation.
"I am only doing this out of pity," Su Yang responded with an unexpected answer. "Five continents separated by the Jade Sea and without the ability to meet each other. I just feel like doing something about it."
"And like I'd said, this is optional, so if you don't want to visit the other continents, I'll just leave the Northern Continent out of it."
After pondering for a few moments, Ning Menghua spoke, "This will definitely change the world as we know it, and it is not something we can decide on alone, much less so quickly. Please give us some more time to think about it, since we must speak with the other families as well."
And she continued, "While we are the ruler of this continent, we do not own every piece of land in this place, and we must hear the other families' opinions before we come to a conclusion."
Su Yang nodded and said, "Very reasonable. Then I shall return in a few months, giving you plenty of time to discuss and come to a conclusion with the others."
"Thank you for understanding," Ning Menghua bowed to him slightly.
Sometime later, Su Yang left the Northern Continent with Lian Li and Xiao Rong, returning to the Eastern Continent.
Meanwhile, the Ning Family immediately started contacting the other influential families to talk about what Su Yang had discussed with them— connecting all five continents together!
After returning to the Eastern Continent, Su Yang first stopped at Snowfall City to visit the Xie Family.
"Su Yang! How was your trip? Did you get any of the ingredients on the list?" Xie Xingfang asked him.
Su Yang nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, we managed to obtain five of the nine treasures needed to create the Pill of Rebirth. It couldn't have gone any better, and even I am surprised by the results."
Chapter 804 Connecting the Five Continents
"That's great news!" Xie Xingfang said with a bright expression on her face.
Su Yang nodded, and then he said, "Anyway, where are the other two? I have something important to discuss with them."
"Something important? I'll call them right now." Xie Xingfang said as she retrieved a communication jade slip and contacted Lord Xie and Xie Wang to let them know that Su Yang was looking for them.
"They said they'll meet you at the meeting room," Xie Xingfang said to him.
Sometime later, Su Yang followed Xie Xingfang to the meeting room where Lord Xie and Xie Wang were already waiting.
"What's this about, Su Yang?" Lord Xie asked him the moment he walked into the room.
Su Yang smiled and said in a calm voice, "How do you feel about connecting the five continents in this small world together?"
"What the heck are you talking about?" Lord Xie raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"I'm asking you if you want to visit the other continents and at the same time have visitors from the other continents."
"Is that even possible?" Xie Wang couldn't help but ask.
Su Yang nodded and explained to them the situation, "I will be creating a teleportation formation in every continent, which will allow you to bypass the Jade Sea and travel to the other continents without any danger at the cost of a few hundred thousand spirit stones."
"Y-You can do something like that?" Lord Xie looked at him with wide eyes, as this was beyond the scope of his views.
"I wouldn't be talking about it if I couldn't, now would I?" Su Yang smiled.
Lord Xie and Xie Wang looked at each other in silence.
A few moments of silence later, Xie Wang spoke, "While that does sound very interesting and will, without doubt, change the world and how we communicate with each other, there are a few problems that immediately came to my head regarding the situation."
"How can we be sure that those who come to our land are not hostile? I hope you didn't forget about what happened with Golden Patriarch from the Holy Central Continent already. If he had used the teleportation formation to come to our Eastern Continent, that would have potentially been disastrous."
Su Yang then said, "You don't have to worry about that, since the ruler of each continent will have full control of the formation, so you can choose who to send to the other continents. Furthermore, you can communicate with each other to make sure both parties are okay with the visit."
"If that's not enough, you can simply deactivate the teleport formation you agree to accept visitors."
"Hmmm… That does root out a lot of problems..." Xie Wang nodded, and then he continued, "What about the other rulers? Can we really trust them?"
"Besides the Southern Continent, I have met and spoken with the rulers of every continent out there, and I can guarantee you that they're reasonable people," Su Yang said.
"Of course, if you're still worried, I can assure you that the Eastern Continent is currently the 2nd strongest continent in this world, and it'll become the strongest by the time I leave this world."
"What…"
Lord Xie and Xie Wang stared at him with gawking looks on their faces. The Eastern Continent will become the strongest by the time he leaves in a year? That doesn't seem plausible even in the slightest, especially since the Holy Central Continent existed.
"So? What do you think? Are you going to agree? I have already created a formation in the Western Continent," Su Yang said to them sometime later.
"Since you obviously agree to this, there's no reason for us to disagree. If you think it'll benefit the Eastern Continent, by all means, do what you must." Xie Wang said to him.
Su Yang nodded and said, "Then I will create the formation near the Jade Sea."
Sometime later, Su Yang left the Xie Family's household and headed directly to the Jade Sea, where he spent two days creating the formation.
Once it was completed, Su Yang activated it with his spiritual energy without fully activating it.
"There. Now the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent are connected." Su Yang said.
"Shall we go to the Holy Central Continent now to speak with my parents?" Lian Li asked him.
Su Yang nodded, "We shall."
Thus, Su Yang and Lian Li flew to the Holy Central Continent on the flying boat with Xiao Rong still following behind.
"Hm? You have something important to talk about? Go ahead, I'm all ears." Feng Xindou said after Su Yang approached her.
Su Yang then explained to her the situation regarding the other continents and his plans to connect all five continents together, allowing everybody to finally have the option to visit each other.
"Connecting all five continents, huh… My husband is currently 'training' in his room, but he should be done soon in an hour." Feng Xindou said, and then she continued with a smile on her face, "In the meantime… Why don't we go ahead and start our treatment? After all, it's been a week since you last treated me."
Su Yang did not say anything and merely nodded with a smile on his face.
"What's with that look, Li'er? Do you also want to join us?" Feng Xindou noticed Lian Li's speechless expression and decided to tease her.
"N-No way!" Lian Li quickly shook her head. "I am not cultivating in the same room as Mother!"
Feng Xindou casually shrugged her shoulders before grabbing Su Yang and pulling him into another room where they proceeded to cultivate for an hour.
Meanwhile, Lian Li waited outside with Xiao Rong until Emperor Lian showed up a few minutes later, which was much quicker than Feng Xindou had anticipated.
"Hm? Lian Li? You're back already? Where's Su Yang?" Emperor Lian asked her.
"He's with mother," Lian Li responded in a nonchalant voice.
"Oh…" Emperor Lian mumbled, feeling slightly awkward afterward.
"Anyway, since you're already here, I'll explain the situation to you in Su Yang's place." Lian Li suddenly said, and she began telling him about Su Yang's plans to connect the continents.
Chapter 805 Following Su Yang to the Eastern Continent
"Connecting the five continents…?" Emperor Lian pondered with a serious look on his face after learning about the situation from Lian Li.
While there are many benefits from connecting the continents, such as having new business partners and expanding their world, there are also many downfalls if such a thing were to really happen, such as conflicts between the continents.
"If you're worried about conflicts between each continent, Su Yang said that he'll set up a meeting for every participating continent so the rulers of each continent could speak with each other and hopefully come to an agreement." Lian Li said, almost as though she could read Emperor Lian's mind and worries.
"A meeting with the other ruling families, huh? That would be great and an unprecedented event." Emperor Lian said.
And he continued, "Although our Ancestors have traveled to the Eastern Continent in the past, I don't think all five continents have ever come together before. This is definitely going to be revolutionary..."
"I also have to speak with the other Ancient Academies about this…"
Lian Li nodded and said, "Take your time."
Sometime later, Su Yang returned alone.
Emperor Lian looked at him with an awkward expression before speaking, "I have already been briefed by Lian Li about your plans to connect all five continents. Give me some time to speak with the Ancient Academies and other families."
Su Yang nodded, "Okay."
He then turned to look at Lian Li and said, "This leaves the Southern Continent as our last stop. Shall we start making our way there now?"
Lian Li nodded and prepared to leave.
Su Yang suddenly turned to look at Emperor Lian and said, "By the way, I'll be back later to bring Feng Xindou with me to the Eastern Continent."
"W-What?" Emperor Lian looked at him with a dazed face. "W-Why is she leaving this place?"
Even Lian Li was surprised to hear this, but she didn't say anything.
"You can ask her yourself. I think she'll do a better job explaining it." Su Yang said.
Sometime later, once Su Yang left with Lian Li, Emperor Lian rushed to find Feng Xindou, who was laying in a large bed in one of the guest rooms with a satisfied expression on her face while completely naked.
"My wife! I heard from Su Yang that you'll be following him to the Eastern Continent! Is this true?! Why do you want to leave this place?!" Emperor Lian asked her in a nervous, shaky voice.
"Lower your voice. Why are you shouting like it's the end of the world? And yes, I'll be following Su Yang to the Eastern Continent. This way, it'll be more convenient for him to treat my condition, and I'm sure you don't want to be around us when we're doing it, right?" Feng Xindou explained to him her reasons in a calm voice.
"T-That's…" Emperor Lian was speechless. Of course, he didn't want to be around them when they do 'that'. Who in their right mind would want to be around while someone else is screwing their wife? Only a real cuck would enjoy something like that!
"How long will you be there?" He then asked her.
"Probably until Su Yang finally leaves this world with Lian Li and the others," she calmly responded.
"So I won't be able to see you for an entire year, huh?" Emperor Lian sighed.
"It's not as if I am leaving forever." Feng Xindou said.
"I know… but still…"
Meanwhile, Su Yang and Lian Li traveled to the Southern Region, visiting the Ji Family once again.
"S-Senior! What happened?! Why are you back here?" Ji Hong was surprised to see Su Yang again so soon, even a little bit nervous about why he'd decided to return.
"Do you know who rules over the Southern Continent? I want to meet them." Su Yang asked him.
"The rulers?" Ji Hong raised his eyebrows, and then he said, "While we don't really have an official ruling family for the Southern Continent, there's one family in the Southern Continent that has incredible influence and power— so much so that many people willingly recognize them as their ruler."
"Where can I find this family?" Su Yang then asked.
"The Lu Family is a very exclusive family— they won't meet anyone without proper recommendations. However, my Ji Family can give you that recommendation. It'll take a couple of days, though." Ji Hong said.
Su Yang nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"I will do my best! And if you need a place to stay, there are plenty of guest rooms in my household. You can stay here for as long as you need."
"We won't be humble and accept that offer."
Sometime later, Su Yang and the others followed Ji Hong to one of the guest rooms.
"Every single room in this hallway is free to use," Ji Hong said to them after they arrived.
"We just need one room," Su Yang said.
"Then please use this room— it's the biggest one we have. If you need anything, just ring this bell and a servant will be with you to satisfy your every need. In the meantime, I'll go write up your recommendation letter and send it to the Lu Family."
"Thank you for your help," Su Yang said to him.
Once Ji Hong left the place, Su Yang turned to look at Xiao Rong and said to her, "Since we have some free time, do you want your reward now?"
Xiao Rong immediately nodded her head and stripped her clothes before Su Yang could even say anything.
"You're going to cultivate with her?" Lian Li asked him with a dazed expression on her face.
Su Yang chuckled and said, "Of course not. I am just going to satisfy her with my hands and collect her Yin Qi at the same time."
"Collecting her Yin Qi? Why do you need her Yin Qi?" Lian Li became even more dumbfounded after hearing his response.
Su Yang then proceeded to explain to Lian Li his plans to preserve Xiao Rong's Yin Qi so that he can use it in the future when he's powerful enough to absorb it without risking his own life.
Chapter 806 Extreme Yang Qi
"Wow… I didn't know you could do that… Preserving Yin Qi to cultivate later… Dual Cultivators are truly something else," Lian Li mumbled, feeling as though she'd just learned of a whole new world.
"It's not uncommon in our world. In fact, some dual cultivators even store their own Yang Qi or Yin Qi and sell them to other dual cultivators— of course, only the powerful ones with unique Yang Qi or Yin Qi would be able to sell it."
"W-Wait a second… Selling Yang Qi and Yin Qi?" Lian LI stared at him with a gawking look, and she couldn't help but wonder if he'd done such a thing in his previous life.
Su Yang smiled when he saw her face, and almost as though he could read her mind, he responded, "Yes, I have done it before— selling my Yang Qi to dual cultivation sects. In fact, my Yang Qi used to be so popular that sects fight just to have a chance to buy it."
Lian Li swallowed nervously, and she asked, "W-What do you gain in exchange for selling your Yang Qi? Spirit stones? Treasures?"
Su Yang chuckled and said, "Occasionally I would accept treasures if they're really rare or precious, but I don't accept money for my Yang Qi."
"You don't? Then what do you accept?"
Lian Li couldn't imagine what could be worth more than treasures in the cultivation world.
However, Su Yang did not immediately respond. Instead, he sat on the bed so Xiao Rong could lay on his lap.
"Mmm…"
Xiao Rong moaned softly when Su Yang began rubbing her small slit, and Yin Qi began flowing from her hole a few moments later.
Su Yang suddenly spoke as he extracted Xiao Rong's Yin Qi, "While treasures may be the priority for the major of cultivators, for us dual cultivators, we care more about our own resources."
"In exchange for my Yang Qi, I would accept Yin Qi from other powerful cultivators, and sometimes even the women themselves."
"T-The women? How does that work?" Lian Li asked, still with a dazed look on her face.
"Pure maidens who have divine bodies or Heavenly Constitutions would approach me for my Yang Qi in exchange for their Pure Yin Essence. Of course, most of them would turn around and sell my Yang Qi afterward for actual treasures from others who want it."
"A-And you don't mind that?"
Su Yang shook his head and said, "I don't care what they do with my Yang Qi since I've already given it to them, and I have already received my payment for it."
"Oh, when I say my 'Yang Qi', I don't mean my ordinary 'Yang Qi'."
"There are different types of Yang Qi?"
Su Yang nodded and began explaining, "There are three different types of Yang Qi with the first one being the ordinary Yang Qi that can be released by everyone, mortals and cultivators alike. Then we have Yang Qi filled with spiritual energy, something that can only be released by cultivators and what I've been giving you ladies."
"Finally, we have Extreme Yang Qi, something that can only be released by cultivators that have enhanced their Yang Qi with treasures and other resources. And in order to release a small amount of Extreme Yang Qi, it requires many days, even weeks of effort. There are also many different types of effects one's Extreme Yang Qi can have, but most of the time, it greatly improves one's cultivation for the female."
"Of course, there are Pure Yin and Yang Essences, but that isn't categorized because you can only release those once in your lifetime under normal circumstances."
"Wow… I didn't think there'd be so many different types of Qi…" Lian Li said, and she continued with a smile on her beautiful face a moment later, "Can you release this Extreme Yang Qi now, Su Yang? I'd like to see the difference."
However, Su Yang shook his head and said, "If I was still in my original body, I'd give you as many Extreme Yang Qi as you want, but now that I am in this body, where my Yang Qi is not as developed, I cannot release any Extreme Yang Qi."
"Though, I should be able to start building my own Extreme Yang Qi after consuming the Hellfire Seed."
"Will it be any different from your previous body's Extreme Yang Qi?" Lian Li then asked.
"I think so since this is a different body, which should produce its own unique Extreme Yang Qi. We won't know until then."
"I cannot wait until then," Lian Li said as she licked her lips in an alluring manner.
Su Yang chuckled and said, "After consuming the Hellfire Seed, I should be able to produce some Extreme Yang Qi. Although it won't be enough to fill you up, it'll be enough to let you understand what you'll experience in the future once I can start producing them properly again."
Lian Li nodded with anticipation in her gaze.
Meanwhile, Su Yang continued to extract Xiao Rong's Yin Qi, filling up bottles after bottles of her sweet nectar.
"Haaa… Master…" Xiao Rong breathed heavily, feeling as though her consciousness was slipping away from her.
A few more minutes later, Xiao Rong fell asleep on Su Yang's lap.
Seeing this, Su Yang stopped collecting her Yin Qi and cleaned her up before putting her in the bed to rest.
After storing the Yin Qi into his storage ring that was dedicated to storing Xiao Rong's Yin Qi, Su Yang turned to look at Lian Li and spoke, "Do you want to cultivate?"
Lian Li's eyes immediately flickered with excitement, and she quickly stood up to loosen her robes.
A few moments later, Su Yang began roaming her beautiful body with his hands, teasing her until she was soaking wet.
After a few minutes of foreplay, Lian Li used her mouth to please Su Yang's manhood until it was also soaking wet.
Once they were both prepared and eager to cultivate, they embraced each other and began their cultivation.
Chapter 807 Extreme Yin Qi
"Aaah~ Aaaah~ Aaaaaahhh!"
Lian Li moaned loudly as Su Yang pounded her intensively on the bed whilst Xiao Rong slept a couple of inches away from them.
After a couple of hours of cultivation, Lian Li laid on the bed with an exhausted look on her face and her cave flowing with Yang Qi.
"Su Yang… If men can produce Extreme Yang Qi, does this mean females can also produce Extreme Yin Qi? What about me? Would I be able to achieve it?" Lian Li asked him afterward.
"Yes, of course. While you'll require different methods and resources, the process remains the same. In fact, almost everybody in the Su Family has the ability to produce Extreme Yin Qi," Su Yang said to her, and he continued, "This is also related to what I talked about before."
"There are female dual cultivators out there who have reached impressive cultivation levels without having a partner, and some are even maidens."
"W-Wait a second… How can one be a dual cultivator without cultivating?" Lian Li looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"As you already know, one can increase their cultivation much faster through dual cultivation because you have the assistance of another, and there are cultivators out there who wish to improve their cultivation quickly but without sleeping with people they don't like."
"Therefore, they buy Extreme Yang Qi from powerful cultivators and use that to cultivate instead. Of course, this method of dual cultivation is extremely expensive, but that doesn't stop people from going this route."
"There are also dual cultivators who practice ancient techniques that forbids them from dual cultivation so they have no choice but to cultivate in such a manner. These types of women are usually the ones who come to me for my Extreme Yang Qi, and in exchange, I would take their Extreme Yin Qi, since Yin Qi from a maiden is much more valuable than someone who's already lost their first time."
"I see…" Lian Li mumbled in a low voice, her expression looking like she'd just experienced a whole new world.
"The dual cultivation world is much larger than what most people think or know, and there's always something new or exciting, hence why I became a dual cultivator after spending a few hundred years cultivating normally," Su Yang said with a smile on his face.
"I don't really recognize myself as a dual cultivator since I am only doing it with you, but can ordinary cultivators have Extreme Yin Qi?" Lian Li suddenly asked.
Su Yang nodded and said, "Of course. Not everyone in the family dual cultivates. In fact, most of them are ordinary cultivators. However, they all learned to produce Extreme Yin Qi for my sake since I mostly rely on their Yin Qi to cultivate."
"If you want to learn how to create Extreme Yin Qi, once we return to the Divine Heavens, there'll be plenty of resources and instructions to help you."
"Okay." Lian Lin nodded.
After resting for a few hours, Lian Li suddenly reached for Su Yang's little brother and rubbed it with an alluring smile on her face, her intentions clear.
A few moments later, they began their second session of dual cultivation.
Xiao Rong woke up during their second session, and she proceeded to watch them with an intensive gaze, almost like she was trying to study their actions.
Meanwhile, Ji Hong focused on writing his recommendation for Su Yang before sending it to the Lu Family for approval.
Of course, since the Ji Family is a very reputable family with countless connections due to their wealth, the Lu Family listened to Ji Hong and agreed to have a meeting with Su Yang, which was scheduled for next week.
After receiving the news, Ji Hong immediately went to notify Su Yang that the Lu Family was willing to meet him.
"The Lu Family agreed to meet you in a week, and I will be coming with you since I have some business with them as well." Ji Hong said to him.
Su Yang nodded and said, "You can knock on my doors whenever you're ready to leave."
"I understand. Rest well, Senior." Ji Hong bowed to him before leaving the hallway and telling the guards to continue keeping watch of the place.
"Nobody is to be allowed in this area unless they get authorization from me— not even my own son! If he even dares to approach this place, I will give you permission to beat him up!" Ji Hong urged the guards to beat his son up if he tried anything funny, and the guards nodded their heads with excitement inside their hearts because they disliked the young master who always looked down on them.
'I hope that chubby bastard comes near this place! This will give me a reason to beat the shit out of him without getting into any trouble! I have dreamed of this day for a long time now!' The guards cried with bliss inwardly.
Once Su Yang closed the doors, he removed his loose clothes and returned to cultivating with Lian Li while also extracting Yin Qi from Xiao Rong whenever she needed to rest, and they continued doing this for the entire week until Ji Hong knocked on their doors again so they could head to the Lu Family for their meeting.
"Wow… This is the longest cultivation session I've had with you, Su Yang… It's an entirely different experience…" Lian Li said to him afterward, feeling sore and sensitive all over her body.
Su Yang chuckled and said, "Just wait until we start cultivating for months, even years at a time."
"Y-Years? Is that even possible?" Lian Li looked at him with wide eyes, as she could not imagine having sex for so long at a time.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Once your body starts getting used to it, you'll be able to cultivate for much longer while feeling like not much time has passed, especially when you're an Immortal, and months will have passed before you even realize it."
"I see…" Lian Li nodded, feeling somewhat excited about it.
Chapter 808 Meeting the Lu Family
After cleaning up and organizing their clothes, Su Yang left the room with the others and followed Ji Hong outside, where three large carriages waited.
"It'll take us about four days to arrive at the Lu Family. I'd use quicker transportation methods, but I have some treasures I must deliver to the Lu Family, so I must use these carriages. I apologize for any inconvenience," Ji Hong said to them.
Su Yang nodded and said, "It's only a couple of days."
A few moments later, Su Yang entered one of the three carriages in the middle with Lian Li and Xiao Rong while Ji Hong went to speak with the dozen guards that'll be coming with them before entering the carriage at the end.
"Start the journey!" Ji Hong shouted from inside the carriage, and they began moving a few moments later.
Once they were on the road, inside Su Yang's carriage, Lian Li laid her head on Su Yang's shoulders and enjoyed a slow and peaceful journey like a recently married couple on a honeymoon.
However, after moving for two days without stopping, the carriages suddenly came to a halt, and the guards could be heard shouting in alert, "Bandits! We are surrounded by bandits! Defend the carriages and kill all who dares to approach!"
The guards at the Earth Spirit Realm began fighting the bandits, and Ji Hong suddenly knocked on Su Yang's carriage.
"Senior, we're currently under attack. Please wait inside until everything is peaceful—"
"Haaa…"
A sigh resounded in the carriage, and before Ji Hong could even finish his sentence, a ripple filled with Spirit Qi suddenly appeared from Su Yang's carriage, sweeping through the entire area.
"Ahhhh!"
Instantly, painful shrieks resounded as the bandits that'd touched the ripple was instantly sliced in halves, shocking the guards that were not harmed despite touching the ripples.
A few seconds later, the entire place turned dead silent, as every single bandit was laying on the ground without a complete corpse.
"You may continue the journey now," Su Yang's calm voice resounded from inside the carriage a moment later.
"T-T-Thank you, Senior…" Ji Hong said to the carriage in a nervous voice, as he'd never witnessed anything like this before, feeling awe and fear at the same time.
After the guards returned to their positions, the carriages began moving again.
"Heavens… What just happened? Why did the ripple not affect us?"
"I have never seen such profound strength before! Whoever is in the carriage must be a peak expert in this world!"
"But he looked so young— even younger than my son!"
"Is your son a peak cultivator as well? You know that one's appearance can be extremely deceiving in the cultivation world, especially those at the top!"
A few hours of smooth traveling later, the carriages came to another halt, and the guards could be heard shouting about bandits again.
"Bandits! Bandits! Bandits!"
However, before the guards could even pull their swords from its scabbard, Su Yang activated his Sword Qi and killed all of the bandits before they could even approach the carriages, dumbfounding the guards.
"T-Thank you, Senior!"
They all bowed to the cart afterward.
"Keep the carriage moving. I'll deal with the bandits.
"Yessir!"
The carriages continued moving a few moments later.
And for the rest of their journey, the guards lowered their alertness and treated the journey as though it was a vacation of sorts.
Four days later, the carriages stopped in front of a large city. During this time, Su Yang had killed over a thousand bandits with his Sword Qi and without stepping out of the carriage, and the bandits all died without understanding how they'd died!
"Master Ji, Seniors, we have arrived at the Lu Family's city."
"Continue forward!" Ji Hong spoke from the carriage.
"Yes, Master Ji!"
A few moments later, the guards pulled up to the entrance to the city and said to the guards there, "We are from the Ji Family, and Master Ji is here with a delivery for the Lu Family."
"The Ji Family? We have been waiting for your arrival. Can I see your proof of identification?"
The Ji Family then showed their family medallion alongside the Lu Family's letter that had a seal in it.
Once the guards at the gates confirmed its authenticity, they nodded, "Thank you. Please, enter the city."
A few moments later, they entered the city with the carriages and began making their way towards the Lu Family that was located in the heart of this large city.
"We'll arrive at the Lu Family in about an hour, Seniors."
The guards said to Su Yang from the outside.
"Thank you."
An hour later, the carriages stopped once again, and the guards said, "We're at the Lu Family, Master Ji, Seniors."
Hearing this, everyone left their carriages and gathered in front of a massive household that spawned throughout multiple streets.
"Please follow me, Seniors."
Ji Hong said to them before approaching the gates to the household.
"Welcome to the Lu Family, Senior Ji. The Masters will be ready to meet you in a few minutes," said the guards by the gates after seeing Ji Hong's face.
While the Ji Family's guards stayed behind to guard the carriages and the treasures, the Lu Family's guards led Su Yang and the others into the house.
Once they were inside, the guards led them to the guest room where they proceeded to wait until the Lu Family was ready to meet them.
About ten minutes later, the guards returned and led them to another room— a long and spacious room that looked more like a hallway with two figures sitting at the end of the room, both emitting an impressive aura at the peak Heavenly Spirit Realm.
"Welcome to my Lu Family, Patriarch Ji, and esteemed guests from the Eastern Continent. Thank you for coming all the way here. I am Lu Dahan, head of the Lu Family, and this is my wonderful wife, Lu Jin," said the middle-aged man with a friendly yet somewhat stiff smile on his face.
Chapter 809 On The Verge of Death
"Thank you for having us here," Su Yang said to the Lu Family.
Lu Duhan nodded and said, "We can talk about your purpose here in a bit, but for now…"
He turned to look at Ji Hong and continued, "Have you brought the medicine here, Patriarch Ji?"
"Yes, I brought the medicine. It's currently outside, waiting to be unloaded and transferred," said Ji Hong.
"Thank you, Patriarch Ji. You have no idea how much of a life-safer you are…" Lu Jin, the wife, suddenly said to him with a seemingly exhausted expression on her face, almost like she hasn't gotten any sleep recently.
"Don't even mention it. As long as it can help the young lady, I will do anything in my power to help out. Not to mention the Lu Family has helped us out a lot as well," Ji Hong responded with a smile on his face.
"Still… Thank you… I will have people unload the medicine for you."
Su Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard their conversation. Is the Lu Family's daughter sick or something?
A few moments later, the Lu Family ordered some of their servants to go outside to unload the treasures in the carriage before bringing them into the room, placing them neatly on a table.
After seeing the medicine with his own eyes, Su Yang was positive that someone was sick and the Lu Family planned on using these medicines to heal them.
"Judging by the medicine here… Is someone poisoned?" Su Yang suddenly asked them, causing everybody there to look at him.
"Y-You can tell just by looking at the medicine? Are you a doctor by any chance?" Ji Hong asked him in a surprised voice.
"Yes, I know a thing or two about medicine, and I know of every recipe you can create with the medicine on this table with most of them related to poison." Su Yang said as he approached the medicine, and he continued, "So? What kind of poison is it?"
"M-My daughter was bit by an incredibly rare creature known as the 'Three Season Snake' when she went to train in the woods." Lu Jin quickly answered.
"Three Season Snake?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows in a slightly surprised manner upon hearing this familiar name. After all, he'd treated someone that was also bitten by a Three Seasons Snakes shortly after he'd awakened his memories in this body when he was only an Outer Court disciple at the Profound Blossom Sect.
When Su Yang recalled the little girl who introduced Su Liqing who was Lan Liqing at that time, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You don't need this much medicine to treat the Three Season Snake's venom if it hasn't been that long since the victim was poisoned. How long ago did this happen?"
"Three months ago…" Lu Duhan said to him.
"Three months ago? And you waited until now to treat her? I'm surprised that she isn't dead already!" Su Yang said with a somewhat surprised face.
After all, when Qi Yue came to him for help, it'd only been about a month since she was poisoned, so he didn't need the use of medicine to cure her.
However, since it has been three months since this person has been poisoned, the poison should have already spread throughout their body with this person already on the verge of death.
"W-Why would you say something like that?" Lu Jin asked him in a shaky voice, as Su Yang's words had clearly struck fear into her heart.
Su Yang then explained to them the Three Season Snake's poison and how it normally takes 3 months to kill a cultivator below the Earth Spirit Realm.
After his explanation, the Lu Family could be seen panicking.
"Oh no! What should we do?! The doctor that's supposed to cure our daughter won't be here until next week!" Lu Jin fell onto her knees and began crying in despair.
Lu Duhan suddenly turned to look at Su Yang and said, "E-Esteemed guest! Since you know so much about the Three Seasons Snake, you must know how to cure someone poisoned by one, right?! Do you think you can help us? We'll definitely compensate you for your time and effort!"
"It's definitely not my first time treating someone who has been poisoned by a Three Seasons Snake. Let me see the victim." Su Yang said to them.
"Right this way!"
The Lu Family then led Su Yang into another room where a young lady was writhing in her bed with a pained expression on her sweat-covered face.
Su Yang narrowed his eyes at this young lady's face. Despite having black lines all over her face like cracks, her beauty remained apparent.
"She hasn't slept in a week due to the pain from the poison…" Lu Jin sighed.
"We've had every available doctor try to relieve her pain, but alas, the only one who can most likely do something about this was treating another patient and could only start making his way here yesterday, hence why the delay…" Lu Duhan sighed.
"May I?" Su Yang asked.
"Please… Do whatever you must to help her…"
After approaching the bed, Su Yang grabbed the blanket covering the young lady and removed it, revealing her naked body that was riddled with black lines across her body that pulsated like it had worms living inside.
"I can't use my usual method like this— as she's already on the verge of death." Su Yang said in a frown.
"WHAT?!" The Lu Family cried out in shock.
However, Su Yang ignored their commotion and spoke in a loud and clear voice, "Xiao Rong, bring me the medicine in the other room!"
Su Yang pulled out a cauldron from his storage ring as he spoke to Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong disappeared from the place like a ghost and reappeared in the same spot a few seconds later with all of the medicine in her arms.
"Throw the medicine inside," said Su Yang as he summoned his alchemy flames, heating the cauldron almost instantly.
Xiao Rong nodded and tossed the medicine into the cauldron.
Not even a minute later, Su Yang retrieved the fire and then a green pill, dumbfounding everyone there.
Chapter 810 Lu Youyi
After retrieving the pill from the cauldron, Su Yang approached the bed with the young lady, and he said in a calm voice, "It's going to get a little ugly in just a moment, but there's no need to panic."
"W-What do you mean by 'ugly'?" Lu Jin couldn't help but ask him.
However, Su Yang didn't respond to her question and crushed the pill with his mouth before drinking some liquid and kissing the young lady, forcefully pushing the liquid down her throat.
Once the medicine was inside the young lady's stomach, Su Yang's body suddenly exploded with Sword Intent, shocking the people there.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Lu Duhan exclaimed and unconsciously approached Su Yang.
However, he was quickly blocked by Lian Li, who shook her head and said to him in a calm voice, "Trust him."
Lu Duhan narrowed his eyes, and he nodded with a nervous look on his face.
Meanwhile, after releasing his Sword Intent, Su Yang used it to cut the bulging black veins that were on the young lady's body, causing her blood to spray all over the place.
"Oooh…" Lu Jin fainted in her husband's embrace after witnessing this scene.
"A-Are you sure…" Lu Duhan couldn't help but question the situation.
Lian Li did not say anything and merely nodded her head.
A few seconds later, once her black blood began turning red, Su Yang retrieved another pill from his storage ring and fed it to her, quickly healing the sword cuts on her body.
Su Yang then turned around to look at the dazed Lu Duhan and said to him, "Your daughter's life is no longer in danger, but she'll still need extensive care for the next few days before she's fully recovered."
"T-Thank you, esteemed guest!" Lu Duhan quickly said to him.
Su Yang nodded and said, "We can talk later."
"Patriarch Ji! Please bring them to the guest room! We'll be with you in a bit!" Lu Duhan said to him.
Ji Hong nodded, and he brought Su Yang to another room a few minutes later.
"I don't even know where to begin, Senior…" Ji Hong lowered his head to Su Yang after they entered the guest room.
"Don't even mention it; it isn't that big of a deal." Su Yang casually shrugged it off. In his eyes, saving a beautiful young lady from pain was as natural as breathing.
A couple of hours later, the Lu Family reappeared before them, and both Lu Duhan and Lu Jin lowered their heads to Su Yang.
"I'm sorry for making you wait so long, and thank you, esteemed guest, for saving our precious daughter. If she'd died… I don't even want to imagine that…" They said to him.
Su Yang then said, "You can thank me by listening to what I have to say."
Lu Duhan nodded and said, "Of course! Whatever you need!"
Once they were all seated, Su Yang proceeded to explain to them the reason he appeared before them.
"A teleport formation that connects all five continents?" The Lu Family looked at Su Yang with wide eyes afterward, seemingly speechless.
Su Yang continued, "This will allow the people of each continent to finally start communicating with each other. Although it won't be easily accessible at first, in the future, it'll definitely be used daily even if it might be a little expensive."
"I will also arrange a meeting for the five continents so the largest and most influential families from each place can talk it out."
Lu Duhan and Lu Jin looked at each other. After pondering for a moment, they nodded and said, "Okay, we'll participate in this meeting and decide from there."
Then Lu Jin continued, "By the way, esteemed guest, if this is not too much to ask, can you watch over our daughter for a couple more days until she's more stable? You can stay here in the meantime, and we'll even compensate you for your time."
Su Yang nodded and said, "A true doctor will never leave their patient before seeing signs of improvement, and you don't need to compensate me. Unless you have one of the things that's on this list, I don't need it."
Su Yang then handed them the medicine list.
The Lu Family looked over it before shaking their head, "Unfortunately, we don't have anything like this…"
"Then don't worry about it. I didn't help your daughter because I want your treasures," said Su Yang.
"T-Thank you! Thank you very much, esteemed guest!" The Lu Family bowed to him again.
Thus, Su Yang decided to stay in the Lu Family's household for a few more days to look over their daughter.
"How are you feeling?" Su Yang visited the patient early the following day.
"I am feeling much better thanks to you, savior…" The young lady said to him with a humble smile on her face.
"You can call me Su Yang," he said.
"My name is Lu Youyi…"
Su Yang nodded and said, "I brought some more medicine with me. Eat this, and I'll massage your body in a few hours to squeeze the leftover poison out. Although I'd managed to expel most of the Three Seasons Snake's poison from your body yesterday, there are still some left."
"Thank you, Su Yang…"
After eating the medicine Su Yang provided her, Lu Youyi returned to her sleep and Su Yang went back to his room until a few hours later.
"Are you ready?" Su Yang asked her after he returned to her room a couple of hours later.
"Yes. Please take care of me." Lu Youyi nodded in a bashful manner as she removed the blanket that was covering her.
Su Yang's eyebrows raised a little bit when he noticed that Lu Youyi was naked underneath the blanket. However, he didn't say anything and approached her.
A few moments later, Su Yang began massaging Lu Youyi's body, and despite her efforts to remain silent, she was unable to resist the pleasure from Su Yang's massage and began moaning out loud shortly later.
Chapter 811 Expelling the Poison
After massaging Lu Youyi's tender body for half an hour, Su Yang used a needle that was coated in medicine and poked a hole in her body, where all of the poison he'd pushed from the massage gathered.
After poking a hole on her thighs, Su Yang approached the hole with his mouth, and he began sucking the poison from her body.
"Aaaah~!" Lu Youyi released a soft moan upon feeling Su Yang's sucking sensation on her thighs, and the slit between her legs began leaking with even more Yin Qi.
Lu Youyi's face flushed with redness when she noticed how Su Yang's face was so close to her maiden cave.
'W-What if it smells weird? Ahhh! I feel like dying!' she cried inwardly.
A few moments later, after what felt like an eternity for Lu Youyi, Su Yang finally removed his lips from her thighs, and he swallowed the poison he'd sucked from her body afterward.
Lu Youyi had a scare after seeing this, and she quickly exclaimed, "W-Why did you swallow the poison?!"
"Calm down," Su Yang said to her in a calm voice, and he continued, "Poison at this level won't harm me since I have a body that's immune to most poisons. In fact, it'll even benefit me."
"I-Is that so…" Lu Youyi mumbled, even sighing in relief after hearing his words.
"Anyway, I have expelled even more poison from your body. However, it'll still require a few more days before I can expel all of the poison from your body since your body is still too fragile to handle all of it being expelled at once."
"I understand, Su Yang. Thank you for today." Lu Youyi said to him.
Su Yang nodded and left the room shortly later.
After Su Yang left, Lu Youyi continued to lay on the bed with a dazed look on her face, almost like she had a lot on her mind.
"Su Yang, huh…" she mumbled in a low voice with a gentle smile on her face, looking like a young maiden in love.
"How's the girl doing?" Lian Li asked Su Yang after he returned to the room.
"There's a lot more poison in her body than I'd expected. It'll take a few more days before I can expel all of them."
The next day, Su Yang returned to Lu Youyi's room for another treatment session.
After half an hour of massage, Su Yang repeated his process from yesterday and began sucking on Lu Youyi's soft thighs.
Sometime later, Su Yang swallowed the poison, which boosted his cultivation base by a very small amount.
Compared to the first time he'd consumed the Three Seasons Snake's poison, his cultivation was barely affected this time. However, that was to be expected, since his cultivation base right now is incomparable to when he was only a cultivator at the Elementary Spirit Realm.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to take the medicine two more times today— once in the afternoon and once before you sleep," Su Yang said to her before leaving the room.
A few hours after Su Yang left, Lu Youyi's parents knocked on her door.
"How are you feeling, Youyi?" Lu Jin, her mother, asked her.
"I am feeling better than ever before, mother. I'm sorry for making you worry. You too, father."
"Don't even mention it. Just rest for now." Lu Duhan said.
The following day, Su Yang returned to her room for another treatment session.
"Tomorrow will be the last session. There's barely any more poison in your body right now, and I will be able to extract the remaining poison tomorrow in one go," Su Yang said to her after the treatment.
"Okay. Thank you, Su Yang."
'Tomorrow will be the last day, huh?' Lu Youyi sighed inwardly, immediately feeling a little bit more lonely just from thinking about it.
The next day, to the Lu Family's surprise, the doctor that was supposed to treat Lu Youyi arrived earlier than expected.
"I rushed here as soon as I finished treating my other patient! Where's the young lady?" The doctor arrived at the Lu Family with his body soaked in sweat.
However, Lu Duhan appeared before the doctor with an apologetic expression on his face, and he said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Sang. Even though we made you rush all the way over here, your presence is no longer required here, since my daughter has already been cured by another individual. However, we'll still compensate you for your time as we'd promised."
"What? The young lady has been cured already? By whom?" Doctor Sang's eyes widened with surprise after hearing this. As far as he was aware, there aren't any doctors besides himself that can deal with the Three Seasons Snake's poison.
"I'll introduce you to him. Follow me." Lu Duhan proceeded to bring Doctor Sang to the guest room where Su Yang was staying in.
"Esteemed guest! Are you available right now? The doctor that was supposed to cure my daughter is here, and he would like to meet you!" Lu Duhan knocked on the door and said in a respectful voice from outside.
"..."
Doctor Sang was speechless already since this is his first time witnessing Lu Duhan acting in such a humble manner.
The door opened a few moments later, and Su Yang appeared before them with his clothes loosened, almost like he just got out of bed.
He then glanced at the old man standing behind Lu Duhan and said, "Why do you want to see me?"
Doctor Sang quickly said, "Hello, I am Doctor Sang. I was supposed to heal the young lady, but I was told that someone else had already healed her, and I just wanted to see who else besides myself could possibly know so much about Three Seasons Snakes. After all, it would be bad if the young lady was treated wrongly..."
Su Yang raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat scoffing voice, "Who else besides you? You must be very proud of yourself for knowing such basic knowledge. Do you want me to clap for you or something? And if you think I treated her wrongly, you can check for yourself."
Chapter 812 Thanking Him Properly
After hearing Su Yang's words, a stiff smile appeared on Doctor Sang's face, and he spoke in a humble voice, "I didn't say that, Fellow Daoist. If you're offended by my words, it wasn't my intention, and I apologize if that was the case. However, since I've come all the way here, it would feel like I'd wasted my time if I return now without doing anything, so I'll do a quick check-up on the young lady just to make sure that everything is well. Hopefully, she's perfectly cured as you'd claim."
Despite Doctor Sang's humble words, there was a subtle hint of doubt and contempt within his gaze, almost like he didn't believe that a nobody like Su Yang could possibly have more experience than him, who was widely recognized as the number one doctor in the Southern Continent.
A few minutes later, Doctor Sang went to Lu Youyi's room to check on her, and to his surprise, Lu Youyi greeted him with a healthy smile on her face.
"Thank you for coming all the way here, Doctor Sang, but I am already healed," she said to him, unknowingly striking his pride with an invisible blade.
"T-That's fine. I am just here to check on your health just to make sure there's nothing wrong with your body. After all, Three Seasons Snakes are extremely rare and their victims are too few and far in between, hence why there are not many doctors who know how to treat their poison."
And he continued, "Even if you feel perfectly healthy, that might not be the case. Who knows, maybe there is still poison rooted deep within your body."
"You can check my body if you want, Doctor Sang, but I trust Su Yang," said Lu Youyi as she showed him her slender arm with a healthy complexion.
"..."
Doctor Sang was immediately baffled speechless by Lu Youyi's seemingly flawless skin.
'D-Did he really cure her in such a short time? I don't believe it!' Doctor Sang was not convinced that someone else could treat the Three Seasons Snake's poison, even treating it better and faster than him.
Doctor Sang proceeded to put his fingers on Lu Youyi's wrist, and he used his spiritual energy to check her pulses and her internal body for any poison or injuries.
'N-None!' Doctor Sang cried inwardly when he could not find anything wrong with Lu Youyi after checking her body over and over again.
"How is my condition, Doctor Sang? Su Yang did a great job curing me, right?" Lu Youyi asked him sometime later.
"How… How did he do it?" Doctor Sang suddenly asked her with a serious frown on his face. "There's no antidote for the Three Seasons Snake's poison as far as I'm aware, so how did he expel the poison in your body?"
"That's…" Lu Youyi immediately blushed after recalling Su Yang's treatment, and she said in a bashful voice, "I'm sorry, Doctor Sang, but I'd rather not say it…"
"Eh? Why not?" Doctor Sang looked at her with wide eyes. "I won't tell anyone."
However, Lu Youyi still shook her head, and then she said, "I can only tell you the beginning."
And she proceeded to explain to Doctor Sang how Su Yang fed her some sort of pill before cutting her body with some powerful technique, causing the bad blood to spray out like a fountain.
Doctor Sang almost had a heart attack after listening about Su Yang's ridiculous method of treatment. What kind of treatment would require one to have their body cut up like that?
"A-Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your body— at least I cannot see anything wrong with it. I think you've made a complete recovery. Congratulations, young lady." Doctor Sang said to her with a defeated smile on his face.
"I know! Su Yang treated me very well, after all!" she nodded with a bright smile.
"Since I am no longer needed here, I shall take my leave here. After all, I still have many more patients to look after."
"Thank you for coming again, Doctor Sang!" Lu Youyi said to him.
After leaving her room, Lu Youyi's parents asked Doctor Sang, "Well? How's our daughter? Has she really recovered?"
Doctor Sang nodded and said, "I don't know what that young man did to the young lady, but whatever he did, it helped the young lady make a complete recovery. I don't think there will be any problems."
"Really?! That's great to hear!" Lu Jin exclaimed.
Lu Duhan then extended his hand and showed Doctor Sang the storage ring resting on his palms, "Please, take this."
Doctor Sang looked at the storage ring for a moment before shaking his head, "I don't deserve it. Give it to the young man who healed the young lady instead— he deserves every bit of it."
After saying such words, Doctor Sang left the Lu Family without turning around.
Lu Jin and Lu Duhan looked at each other with a dumbfounded gaze.
Sometime later, Su Yang entered Lu Youyi's room, and he said to her, "Today will be your last treatment. After this, your body will no longer have any more poison, and regular medicine will do the job."
"Okay." Lu Youyi said.
Su Yang began massaging her body a few moments later, and the room became filled with Lu Youyi's moaning voice.
Half an hour later, Lu Youyi laid on the bed with a satisfied look on her face.
"Thank you… Su Yang…" she said to him.
"Don't even mention it," said Su Yang.
"..."
"Su Yang, wait a second, don't go yet." Lu Youyi suddenly grabbed him by the sleeves when Su Yang stood up and prepared to leave.
"What is it?" Su Yang turned around to see Lu Youyi's face flushed with redness.
"I… still haven't thanked you properly…" Lu Youyi said in a low voice.
She then grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts whilst spreading her legs and her slit.
"Su Yang… Allow me to thank you with my body…" she said to him with an enchanted look on her face.
Chapter 813 An Excuse to Embrace You
Su Yang gazed at Lu Youyi who was looking back at him with a lustful gaze.
"If you're doing this just to thank me, you don't have to push yourself. I don't need you to thank me in such a manner," said Su Yang.
"T-That's not it!" Lu Youyi quickly responded once she realized that she'd gone around this the wrong way, and she continued, "It's just that… I wanted an excuse to embrace you… I'm sorry…"
Then she continued, "You're not only my savior but I also enjoyed every moment I had with you for the past few days, and I'd heard about your background from my parents. Once you leave this place, you'll return to the Eastern Continent, right? I just wanted a memorable moment with you before you leave this place…"
"..."
The room turned silent, and after a good minute of silence, Su Yang said, "I'll return in a few hours to let your body rest."
"D-Does that mean…" Lu Youyi looked at him with surprise on her face.
Su Yang nodded with a smile on his face, "It'll be a memorable moment that you will never be able to forget."
"Okay! I'll be waiting!" Lu Youyi nodded with anticipation clearly written on her face.
After returning to his own room, Lian Li asked him, "That should be that young lady's last treatment, right? Are we leaving now?"
Su Yang shook his head and explained to her the situation, "No, we'll stay here for a bit longer. After all, she wants to…"
Lian Li couldn't help but smile after hearing his words, and she said a moment later, "Why am I not surprised that you'd seduced the young lady?"
Su Yang shrugged.
"Anyway, you're going to accept her offer, right? I highly doubt someone like you would refuse a pretty young lady like her, especially if she genuinely likes you."
Su Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I'll fulfill her desires."
A few hours later, Su Yang went to find Lu Youyi's parents and said to them, "I am going to do a check-up on your daughter one last time before I leave just in case there is any poison left in her body. It might take a little longer since this one will be more thorough."
"I understand. Thank you very much for your hard work, esteemed guest." Lu Duhan thanked him, completely unaware that Su Yang was about to literally check every inch of his daughter's body.
After speaking to Lu Duhan, Su Yang went straight to Lu Youyi's room.
Inside, Lu Youyi was already prepared and expecting him.
"Welcome, Su Yang…" Lu Youyi immediately blushed after seeing his face.
Su Yang closed the door before locking it with a minor formation just in case someone decides to open the door.
"Are you ready?" Su Yang asked Lu Youyi who was sitting on her bed with the blankets covering her body.
"I am…" she nodded, letting go of the blankets in her hands.
The blankets fell onto the bed, revealing to Su Yang her round peaks and smooth skin.
Su Yang approached her with calm steps, and a moment later, he placed his hands on her breasts, gently groping them.
"Mmm…" Lu Youyi moaned in a soft voice as Su Yang's hands squeezed her breasts, feeling a tingly sensation go down her back.
Su Yang gently pushed Lu Youyi's body down, and he began sucking on her breasts once her body was laying on the bed.
"Aaaah~" Lu Youyi continued to moan softly, feeling incredibly blissful right now even though they'd barely started.
A few moments later, Su Yang began making his way towards the lower parts of her body whilst his lips continued to kiss her delicate skin.
"Ahh!"
Lu Youyi subconsciously closed her legs when Su Yang reached the closed slit between her legs.
"Relax…" Su Yang said to her before licking the somewhat slimy slit, spreading it apart with his tongue.
"Oooh!"
After Su Yang's lick, Lu Youyi suddenly felt all of the strength in her body disappear, almost as though it was absorbed by Su Yang.
Once Lu Youyi's legs loosened, Su Yang began licking her slit with even more intensity, even drilling her tight hole with his tongue.
"Su Yang! Something's coming out!" Lu Youyi warned him in a bashful voice.
"Go ahead and let it out."
A few seconds later, Lu Youyi released the force blocking her delight, allowing her Yin Qi to gush out like a broken dam.
"Aaaaaah~!"
Lu Youyi moaned loudly as she soaked Su Yang with her Yin Qi.
Su Yang licked his lips afterward, tasting her Yin Qi.
After removing his clothes, Su Yang kneeled between her legs with his dragon pointing towards the ceiling.
"Heavens… What a massive…" Lu Youyi gasped in shock when she saw Su Yang's bulging dragon that looked like it was threatening to tear the world apart.
Sometime later, Su Yang began rubbing his thick rod between Lu Youyi's wet slit, bathing his dragon in her Yin Qi until it was soaking wet as well.
"Are you ready?" Su Yang asked her afterward.
"I am." Lu Youyi nodded.
Su Yang then poked her cave entrance with his dragon's head.
'So big! It's much bigger than I'd expected!' Lu Youyi cried inwardly, unaware that it was just the tip.
Once the tip was inside, Su Yang began pushing his rod deeper into her cave, spreading her pink inner walls apart and tearing her maiden status apart.
A few seconds later, Su Yang's entire rod was inside Lu Youyi's body, and her maiden blood stained the white bedsheets, dyeing it crimson.
"I am going to start moving now," Su Yang said to her.
"Okay…" she nodded while gritting her teeth, trying her best to endure the intense pain coming from between her legs.
Su Yang began thrusting his hips, shoving his rod in and out of her cave, staining the blankets with even more blood and Yin Qi.
"Aaah~"
"Aaahhh~!"
"Aaahn!"
Lu Youyi moaned loudly, feeling pleasure and pain at the same time for a couple of minutes until she began getting used to the pain, feeling only pleasure.
Chapter 814 Upcoming Gathering
After taking Lu Youyi's Pure Yin Essence for himself, Su Yang spent the next hour thrusting his rod into Lu Youyi's slender body, overwhelming her with pleasure and delight.
In the end, Su Yang released a bucket load of Yang Qi into her cave, filling her body to the brim with his hot liquid.
"Thank you, Su Yang, for this experience… I'll never forget it." Lu Youyi said to him afterward.
"Don't even mention it," said Su Yang with a handsome smile on his face.
After putting his clothes on, Su Yang continued, "I'll go tell your parents that you are completely healed."
"Okay." Lu Youyi nodded.
As Su Yang approached the door and placed his hand on the door, Lu Youyi said, "I really hope that I get to see you again, Su Yang…"
"I'm sure we'll meet again sometime in the future," he said to her before leaving the room.
After speaking with Lu Youyi's parents for a couple more minutes, Su Yang prepared to leave the Southern Continent with Lian Li and Xiao Rong.
"Then I'll come back later with a date for the meeting so everybody can come together and talk about the teleportation formations," Su Yang said to them before leaving.
"I'll be waiting for you here. Once again, thank you for saving our daughter, Esteemed Guest. We'll never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives."
The Lu Family bowed to them as they took off in the flying treasure, returning to the Eastern Continent.
After returning to the Eastern Continent, Su Yang explained the situation to Liu Lanzhi and other sect elders, as it would affect the Profound Blossom Sect in the future whether they like it or not.
"Connecting all of the continents together, huh? I could've never imagined that such a day would come… At least not during my lifetime," Liu Lanzhi sighed in admiration as she stared at Su Yang, as everything he does seemed to have an impact throughout the entire world.
"The Profound Blossom Sect will become a major power in not just the Eastern Continent but also the other continents, hence why you'll also be participating in the meeting when it happens," Su Yang said to her.
"O-Okay…" Liu Lanzhi swallowed nervously, as she cannot imagine being in the same room as all of the top families and powers from around the world.
"There's no need to be nervous. I'll be there with you as well." Su Yang said to her.
"Un," she nodded with a resolute look on her face, yet her heart was still beating nervously even many minutes later.
"By the way, how's Senior Lian? She should be giving birth soon, right?" Liu Lanzhi suddenly brought up the topic of Lian Li's pregnancy.
Su Yang nodded and said, "Should be a couple more months."
Unlike mortals, cultivators who are pregnant usually require more time to give birth, since absorbing spiritual energy somehow slows down the process, and once a cultivator is powerful enough, it could take even decades to give birth after their pregnancy.
"Do you intend on finding a doctor for assistance when the time comes? Or do you know how to deliver babies?" Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but ask him.
"I have delivered a decent amount in the past when I wandered around as a doctor for the experience. However, this will be my first time delivering a baby that's mine. It'll be a new experience, definitely," said Su Yang with a weird smile on his face.
"Are you excited? Nervous?"
"I'm more delighted than anything," he responded.
"I can imagine." Liu Lanzhi chuckled.
"By the way, how's Shi Yuchun?" Su Yang suddenly asked her.
"I heard from the other disciples that she's hard at work. Every morning, she would sweep the floors until lunch and then sweep some more afterward. The sect feels much cleaner thanks to her. Of course, we're also teaching her how to become a manager so when there are more workers, she'll be able to lead them."
"I see… I'll talk to her later as well."
After talking for some time, Su Yang left Liu Lanzhi alone and went to speak with Shi Yuchun for some time before returning to his daily routine of cultivation with the disciples.
A couple of days later, a messenger from the Xie Family knocked on the Profound Blossom Sect's gates.
"This is an official letter from His Majesty, Lord Xie, and it is to be handed to Sect Master Su Yang without delay," said the messenger.
"Please, follow me."
After confirming this messenger's identity, one of the sect elders brought the messenger to the Yin Yang Pavilion to wait for Su Yang to return.
Su Yang returned to the Yin Yang Pavilion a few hours later after he finished his routine.
"Greetings, Sect Master Su Yang. This is from His Majesty, Lord Xie. Please accept this." The messenger handed Su Yang an official scroll with a unique stamp on it.
"What's this?" Su Yang asked as he accepted the scroll.
"I'm not sure either, since His Majesty commanded that only you can open it, nor did he mention its contents."
Su Yang nodded and opened the letter to read its contents.
A few seconds later, he mumbled, "Oh, so it's about the gathering. Why'd he make it seem like it was top secret?"
"The gathering?" Liu Lanzhi raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I asked him to help me gather all of the powerful families in the Eastern Continent for a quick meeting," he explained, and he continued, "I can finally ascend to the Sovereign Spirit Realm."
"T-The Sovereign Spirit Realm?" Liu Lanzhi stared at him with wide eyes, as she cannot imagine someone so young reaching the peak of the cultivation world— at least this world's peak.
"When is the gathering?"
"According to Lord Xie, it'll happen next month." Su Yang said, and he turned to look at the messenger and continued, "Tell Lord Xie that I have received the information and that I'll be there in a month."
"I shall relay this message to His Majesty. Thank you, Sect Master Su Yang." The messenger bowed to him before leaving.
Chapter 815 Eastern Continent's Massive Gathering
Once the messenger left the Profound Blossom Sect, he returned to the Xie Family and notified Lord Xie that Su Yang had received the letter and agreed on the meeting time and location.
Meanwhile, Su Yang returned to his own routine.
Time passed quickly, and the date of the gathering grew increasingly closer.
A month flashed by, and during this time, Su Yang went to the Holy Central Continent one more time to bring Feng Xindou to the Profound Blossom Sect so that he could treat her whenever it was needed.
"Wow, so this is the Eastern Continent, huh? It's not much different from the Holy Central Continent other than the quality of Profound Qi." Feng Xindou said out loud while Su Yang gave her a quick tour around the Eastern Continent on his flying treasure.
"Well, the Heavenly Spiritual Root beneath the Eastern Continent is much worse than the one in the Holy Central Continent, so that's only natural," Su Yang said, and he began explaining about the Heavenly Spiritual Root to her.
"I see… I never knew that such a thing existed underneath us in the ground…" Feng Xindou mumbled in a dazed voice after learning this information.
After their tour, Su Yang gave Feng Xingdou a room in the Yin Yang Pavilion before treating her for a couple of hours.
The day before the gathering, Su Yang went to the Burning Lotus Sect to meet with Wang Shuren.
"You want me to attend the gathering with you?" Wang Shuren raised her eyebrows after Su Yang asked her.
"Yes. Your presence will make it more convincing once I reveal my identity."
"You really intend on revealing your identity, huh. Your life will no longer be the same afterward. Are you sure you want that?"
Su Yang nodded and said, "It's fine. We have less than a year in this world, anyway."
"Okay. If you need me there, I'll be there with you. What are you going to do until then?" Wang Shuren then asked.
Su Yang smiled and said, "How about I spend it with you?"
A beautiful smile appeared on Wang Shuren's face, and she nodded, "Sounds like a great idea!"
Thus, Su Yang and Wang Shuren spent the rest of the day together.
Meanwhile, hundreds of powerful families and sects from across the Eastern Continent began gathering in the city that was the closest to the gathering location, shocking the locals in that city.
Even though large gatherings have happened before, it was never at such a massive scale. This will definitely be an unprecedented event, and whatever is going to happen at this meeting will have a high probability of changing the world forever.
The following day, early in the morning, these families and sects left the city and made their way towards the gathering area that was only an hour away from the city, and there were so many people on the road that it made it seem like a war was going to happen.
An hour later, once these people arrived at the gathering area that was specifically made for this occasion, they took a seat randomly at this coliseum-like place except there was no arena in the middle, only a tall platform.
The Xie Family arrived half an hour after everybody was seated, and everybody there stood up and greeted them with lowered heads.
Lord Xie casually waved his hands, and the people there returned to their seats.
"Heavens… This is the first time the entire Xie Family has participated in a gathering… Even Ancestor Wang and Fairy Xie are here…"
The people there were shocked to see the whole Xie Family's presence there. Although Xie Xingfang was wearing her veil, everybody instantly recognized her identity from her immense aura alone.
Once everyone was seated, Lord Xie stood up and said in a loud voice that was enhanced by his spiritual energy, "Thank you all for coming here on such short notice. I'm sure you're wondering why I'd gathered all of you here, but as you all know, I was not the one who requested for your presence here."
"It was the Alchemy Master from the Holy Central Continent who wanted to meet us, right? I've been waiting for this meeting ever since he appeared last year!"
"Me, too! I wonder what he wants to talk to us about!"
"Perhaps he has more new pills to reveal today!"
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, Su Yang stepped out of Wang Shuren's house with her while in his disguise, and they began making their way to the location.
A couple of minutes later, they arrived at the area, and they hovered above the place for a moment before jumping off the flying treasure and landing on the platform in the middle.
"So that's the Alchemy Master from the Holy Central Continent… What a powerful aura! He's definitely the real deal!"
"That's Senior Wang standing behind him!"
"First and foremost, allow me to thank you all for coming here today," Su Yang spoke in a calm voice, quickly silencing the side conversations, and he continued, "I'm sure a lot of you have questions regarding my pills and the future of alchemy in the Eastern Continent, and that's why I am here today— alongside a few other minor announcements."
"I have introduced the Earth Advancement Pill and a couple of other new pills to this place not long ago, and while the Earth Advancement Pills are easily accessible by most people, the Heaven Transcendence Pill has not been sold publicly. However, that will change very soon, as everyone here will have the chance to obtain a Heaven Transcendence Pill in the near future."
The people there were immediately filled with excitement after hearing Su Yang's words. Although there has been an explosive increase in cultivators at the Earth Spirit Realm thanks to the Earth Advancement Pills, the number of Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivators is still pathetically low. However, all of that will change once the Heavenly Transcendence Pills are available for the public, as there are many peak Earth Spirit Realm cultivators waiting for such a pill for their breakthrough!
Chapter 816 Revealing His Identity
"Do any of you have any questions regarding the pills?" Su Yang asked the audience afterward.
Hands immediately began raising, and the people asked—
"When will the Heavenly Transcendence Pill be available for the public?!"
"How much will the Heavenly Transcendence Pill cost?"
"Where can we purchase the Heavenly Transcendence Pill?"
After the questions died down, Su Yang began answering them one by one.
"The Heavenly Transcendence Pill should be available to the public by next month. The price of the pill hasn't been decided yet but we'll let you know before we sell it."
"As for who'll be selling the Heavenly Transcendence Pill— there will be four places authorized to sell this pill. The first one will be the Burning Lotus Sect. The second place shall be the Heavenly Swan Sect. The third place will be the Xie Family. And last but not least, the Profound Blossom Sect will also have these pills available!"
"What! So many places?!"
The people there were shocked, as they'd only expected the Burning Lotus Sect to be selling these pills as usual.
Hell, even Lord Xie was shocked to hear this information, since Su Yang never told him about it until today. However, the announcement definitely made him feel ecstatic and relieved at the same time. After all, if the Xie Family wasn't allowed to sell these pills, their reputation and influence would drop dramatically whilst those who can sell these pills will immediately become a powerhouse, which might put the Xie Family in a troubled situation.
Meanwhile, Bai Lihua who was also within the crowd covered her opened mouth from surprise. The Heavenly Swan Sect will also have the ability to sell these pills? Their sect will be swarmed with guests in the near future!
Someone there suddenly asked, "Senior! How are the distributors selected? Will the other families or sects have a chance to sell these pills as well in the future?"
"I select the distributors with no special criteria in mind. In other words, it's simply favoritism. As for whether there will be more distributors in the future, I shall let the Xie Family decide that."
After a moment of silence, Su Yang continued. "Now onto my second topic for today."
It was at this moment that Su Yang suddenly reached for the mask covering his face and removed it, shocking the audience there.
"T-That's the Alchemy Master? Why does he look so young and familiar?"
"Wait a second! I recognize that face! That's Su Yang from the Profound Blossom Sect!"
"What?! How is that possible?! I thought the rumors were false! That doesn't make any sense! Su Yang may be a genius cultivator but that doesn't explain his alchemy skills! There's no way someone so young would have such vast experience in alchemy!"
"Heavens! It was true all along! I heard rumors that Su Yang from the Profound Blossom Sect was the alchemy master, but I didn't believe it! He was too young, after all!"
Hearing the crowd's reasonable doubts, Su Yang did not say anything, only taking out a cauldron and placing it on the platform.
"Look! What's he doing?! Is he going to concoct a pill right now?!"
The people there immediately watched in silence, wondering what Su Yang would show them.
After opening the cauldron, Su Yang tossed the ingredients required for the Heavenly Ascendence Pill inside before activating his alchemy flames and quickly surrounding the entire cauldron.
When the elders from the Divine Nature Garden saw this, they stood up and exclaimed, "That technique is the same as the alchemy master! We were there when he crafted a pill at our sect right before our very eyes! I'm almost certain now that he's really the alchemy master! But how can someone so young reach such a level?!"
By the time the sect elder from the Divine Nature Garden finished his sentence, Su Yang also finished concocting the pill, and he retrieved the Heavenly Transcendence Pill before showing it to the people there.
"If you are not convinced after this, then it is what it is. I won't try to convince you any further, that's all." Su Yang said in a nonchalant voice.
The place turned silent after Su Yang's words, and they turned to look at each other with perplexed expressions on their faces, seemingly asking each other if they could trust Su Yang.
However, after witnessing Su Yang's display of his alchemy skills, it was very difficult to not believe him. The only thing holding their belief back was his young age and background.
After all, alchemy masters normally have weaker cultivation bases compared to ordinary cultivators because they focus more on their alchemy skills than cultivating.
"Now onto the third topic for today, which is the main reason why I gathered all of you here today."
Su Yang swept the crowd with his gaze, and then he spoke in a slow but clear voice, "In three months, I will be breaking through to the Sovereign Spirit Realm, and when that happens, I will have a lot of excess Yang Qi that needs to be released, which means I will need a lot of cultivation partners, as I am a dual cultivator mainly."
"I am here to let you all know that if you know a female who is above the sixth level Profound Spirit Realm and would like to cultivate with me, they can find me at the Profound Blossom Sect in three months."
"And while I won't be paying any of them directly, if they cultivate with me and absorb my Yang Qi, it will be enough for them to increase their cultivation by an entire realm with ease."
The people there stared at Su Yang with gawking looks on their faces, almost like they couldn't believe what they'd just heard. His Yang Qi will help these women improve their cultivation base by an entire realm? How is that possible when even priceless treasures don't have such a capability? It sounded more like a scam than anything else! After all, if one could so easily increase their cultivation like this, everybody would be a dual cultivator by now!
Chapter 817 Who's the Father?
Su Yang didn't react much when he saw the doubtful and perplexed looks on the audiences' faces, as he was confident that once words spread about his Yang Qi, women would flock to the Profound Blossom Sect to cultivate with him.
"Remember, only those above the sixth level Profound Spirit Realm will be able to cultivate my Yang Qi. That's all I have for now. Until next time." Su Yang said, and then he turned to look at Lord Xie and continued, "You can do whatever you want now. I will be returning to the Profound Blossom Sect."
Lord Xie nodded.
However, just as Su Yang prepared to leave, Xie Xingfang stood up and said, "Wait a moment, Su Yang!"
"Hm?"
Su Yang turned to look at her, as well as everyone there, and they all wondered what she wanted to say.
The next moment, to their surprise, Xie Xingfang removed her veil, revealing her otherworldly beauty as she flew to Su Yang, standing intimately close to him, raising many eyebrows.
Then Xie Xingfang loosened the large cloak that covered her figure, revealing her round stomach to the audience.
"W-What the…?"
The audience didn't realize what they were looking at at first even when they saw her round stomach or maybe they just didn't want to believe what they were seeing.
However, they eventually realized that Xie Xingfang was pregnant, which shocked everybody there off their seat.
"What?! Fairy Xie is pregnant?! How's that possible?!"
"W-Who's the father?! Why weren't there any announcements or celebrations?!"
Even though many people there were puzzled, there were also many that could guess who the father was before Xie Xingfang had even announced it.
Xie Xingfang cleared her throat, immediately silencing the people and the place.
Once the place was completely quiet, Xie Xingfang continued, "I am here to announce something very significant to me— that I have joined Su Yang's family, who is also the father to the twins that are currently growing in my stomach."
After Xie Xingfang's announcement, the place remained silent, almost as though everyone there was left speechless by it, not to mention the disbelief on their faces, looking as though they'd just witnessed a ghost.
A few moments of awkward silence later, someone there finally clapped and said in a somewhat stiff voice, "C-Congratulation, Your Highness! Shall the Heavens bless your new family!"
Other people immediately followed after the first clap, and the area was quickly filled with cheering and congratulatory messages.
While many people there felt that it was weird for someone as elegant and perfect as Xie Xingfang to partner up with a dual cultivator like Su Yang who has many partners, nobody there dared to complain at this moment.
After all, it made no sense why someone like Xie Xingfang, who can easily get any men in the Eastern Continent to marry her, would pick someone like Su Yang. While Su Yang's shocking talents could somewhat explain why Xie Xingfang decided to pick him, it still felt weird to the people there.
Sometime later, Su Yang and Wang Shuren left the area, whilst the Xie Family remained a little bit longer to talk about the future of the Eastern Continent, even mentioning the teleportation formation that could forever change their world.
The people there were nervous at first after hearing that all five continents might be connected to each other in the future, but they started growing excited about the potential changes in their economy and business after Lord Xie explained to them how things will work out.
"The Eastern Continent and the Western Continent already has a teleportation formation, and we are just waiting on the other three to decide." Lord Xie explained to them the situation.
The gathering ended shortly later, ending quicker than most people there had expected.
As the people began returning to their own places, everything that had occurred in the gathering spread through the continent like wildfire.
While it was already known by many people that Su Yang was the alchemy master because of the Xiang Family spreading the rumors, it was only a rumor in the end without any confirmation. Now that Su Yang had personally announced it, they were more inclined to believe it.
However, what shocked the people even more than Su Yang's identity reveal was his announcement about finding cultivation partners and Xie Xingfang's announcement.
"Heavens! He's going to break through to the Sovereign Spirit Realm at such a young age?! He was only at the early stages of the Heavenly Spirit Realm a year ago during the Regional Tournament! How does he increase his cultivation so fast!?"
"If dual cultivation is truly that heaven-defying, I too shall become a dual cultivator!"
"Hah! You want to become a dual cultivator? Good luck finding a partner with your face!"
Meanwhile, the female cultivators began wondering if they should cultivate with Su Yang.
"What do you think? Will we really be able to increase our cultivation by an entire realm if we cultivate with him?"
"Who knows, really. It sounds too good to be true, but if you consider his status and talents… There's no reason for someone like that to lie to the entire world."
"If he can reach the Sovereign Spirit Realm at such a young age, I wouldn't doubt his words at all! If he says that our cultivation will improve by a whole realm, I'll believe it!"
"Does this mean you'll be cultivating with him?"
"I sure am!"
"Let us know the results afterward! If it's real, I'll also cultivate with him even if I have to give up my maiden status for it!"
While some people spoke about Su Yang's massive cultivation session, others spoke about Xie Xingfang's relationship with Su Yang and her pregnancy.
"Can you believe it?! Fairy Xie has been impregnated by that Su Yang!"
"What?! The dual cultivator from the Profound Blossom Sect?!"
"Aaaaah! I am fucking envious of that fucker Su Yang! He's already surrounded by beauties! Why does he have to take our Fairy Xie as well?! When will he be satisfied?!"
"You think you're the only one who's feeling envy right now? I'm pretty sure half of the men in the Eastern Continent are grieving in sorrow now…"
Chapter 818 I Can Feel Them Kicking
After returning to the Profound Blossom Sect, Su Yang explained to Liu Lanzhi what had happened at the gathering.
"What? You're going to let the Profound Blossom Sect sell Heavenly Ascendence Pills? How are we going to create something like that when you're gone?" Liu Lanzhi couldn't help but ask him.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll make enough Heavenly Ascendence Pills to last the Profound Blossom Sect and the other places hundreds of years before I leave, and there'll be others who will be able to concoct such pills in the future."
"Enough to last us hundreds of years? That sounds like a lot…" Liu Lanzhi mumbled.
"If you sell the Heavenly Transcend Pill only to those who are at the peak of the Earth Spirit Realm, you'll last many years with just a dozen of them. Furthermore, not everyone will be able to afford one, so you don't have to worry about selling hundreds of them every day."
"I see… That makes a lot of sense." Liu Lanzhi nodded.
After talking to Liu Lanzhi, Su Yang returned to his own business.
The following day, Su Yang left the Profound Blossom Sect and went to the Xie Family, where he answered some of their questions.
"Su Yang, thank you for letting the Xie Family be part of the circle," Lord Xie couldn't help but thank Su Yang, and he continued, "If not for that, our Xie Family would've definitely lost a lot of our standing in the Eastern Continent."
Su Yang casually waved his hand and said, "Of course you will— that's why I included your family, and you don't have to thank me. I am only doing this for Xing'er."
"Anyway, I will be concocting enough pills to last the Eastern Continent many years, so I'll be needing a lot of ingredients."
Lord Xie did not complain at all and even felt passionate about looking for ingredients this time.
"What ingredients do you need? Just tell me and I'll make sure it's in your hands within a week!" Lord Xie said with eagerness in his voice.
Su Yang didn't say anything else and placed a long list of ingredients on the table.
Lord Xie's heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw the massive amount of medicine and ingredients on this list.
"T-This is going to cost a fortune!" Lord Xie exclaimed after reading the whole thing, and he continued, "I was prepared to spend a few dozen million spirit stones, but alas, I don't think even a few hundred million spirit stones would be enough to buy the ingredients on this list!"
"Of course. That's enough ingredients to make enough pills to last for many centuries. And I am not just concocting the Heavenly Ascendence Pill, as there will be other pills that I haven't announced yet in there that will greatly benefit the cultivation world," said Su Yang.
And he continued, "Anyways, it might be an expensive investment, but you'll make twice… even three times more than that from the pills that'll come out of it."
"Is this going to be shared between the Heavenly Swan Sect, Burning Lotus Sect, Profound Blossom Sect, and the Xie Family?" Lord Xie then asked.
"Don't worry, the Xie Family isn't going to foot the entire bill. I have the Burning Lotus Sect's money with me, and I will be paying for the Profound Blossom Sect as well as the Heavenly Swan Sect's bill." Su Yang said as he placed a couple of storage rings on the desk.
"There are half a billion spirit stones inside these storage rings."
"Half a billion…" Lord Xie mumbled with a speechless look on his face. Even the Xie Family cannot afford to spend so much money at once!
"I understand. I'll try to buy everything on the list as soon as possible." Lord Xie nodded a moment later.
"Then I'll go see Xing'er for a bit before leaving."
Just as Su Yang turned around, Lord Xie suddenly said, "Wait a second, Su Yang. Do you have a date in mind for the other meeting?"
Su Yang nodded and said, "A little bit after I reach the Sovereign Spirit Realm, so in about three months."
"Okay."
After leaving the shopping chores to Lord Xie, Su Yang went to find Xie Xingfang and spend a few days with her, embracing her more than just a couple of times during these days.
"Su Yang, feel my stomach. I can feel them kicking…" Xie Xingfang said to him with a gentle smile on her peerless face.
Su Yang placed his hands onto her naked stomach, and sure enough, he could feel something small kicking his hands.
"Even though I'd impregnated Lian Li first, it looks like you'll be giving birth before her," said Su Yang afterward.
"How long do you think I have left?" Xie Xingfang asked him, her gaze filled with anticipation.
"Around next month," he responded after a moment of silence.
"That's great! I cannot wait to see the twins!"
"I also cannot wait," Su Yang said with a smile on his face.
And he continued, "I will return in a month to help you deliver the babies."
Xie Xingfang did not doubt his abilities and immediately nodded, "Okay."
"Then I'll be back next month." Su Yang kissed Xie Xingfang for a good minute before leaving the Xie Family and going to the Heavenly Swan Sect to meet with Bai Lihua.
"Did you find any candidates to fill your position and become the next Sect Master of the Heavenly Swan Sect yet?" Su Yang asked Bai Lihua.
"I have, and I am currently teaching her everything she needs to know. Hopefully, I can do it before we leave this world," she responded.
Sometime later, Su Yang began giving Bai Lihua lectures on alchemy again. Once it was nighttime, they began to cultivate with each other until the morning, where they repeated the process for the next few days.
Su Yang left the Heavenly Swan Sect a week later, returning to the Profound Blossom Sect, where he returned to his daily routine.
