Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Yang Qi’s Foster Mother?
At Yang Qi’s shout, a group of people suddenly rushed into the bar. They were all peripheral members of the Star Shining Society, and they were eager to earn Merit Points. To outsiders, Yang Qi was a core member, so naturally, they had to obey his commands.
Seeing the dense crowd, Wu Chuan and his men were so scared they almost wet themselves.
However, Yang Qi ignored him and left directly with Ye Qianqian.
"Daring to cause trouble in the Star Shining Society’s territory? You’ve got guts. Get them!"
A group of the Star Shining Society’s peripheral members scrambled over each other as they rushed forward. As long as they accumulated enough Merit Points, they could level up. The higher their level, the greater the benefits.
Back at White Mountain Manor, Yang Qi asked Ye Qianqian why she wanted to learn Martial Arts.
"I want to protect the people around me, and I want to protect myself," she said. "More than that, I want to follow in Brother Qi’s footsteps. I don’t want to live a mediocre life anymore."
Having witnessed so much, she now clearly understood what Martial Arts truly meant. It was definitely not outdated, as some people claimed. What was outdated were just the fancy, ineffective techniques. True Martial Arts were not outdated at all. In fact, upon reaching a certain level, one could become Unbreakable, which was terrifying.
"Since you want to learn, I can teach you. However, you must first pass a test. What I teach you is more powerful than mere Martial Arts, but if you can’t persevere, then you might as well give up," Yang Qi said coldly.
"Mhm!"
Ye Qianqian was not acting on a whim; she truly wanted to learn.
"Come here, let me check your aptitude."
Immortal Cultivation required aptitude; not everyone could learn it. If Ye Qianqian wasn’t qualified, her only option would be to practice Martial Arts.
Yang Qi placed a finger on Ye Qianqian’s forehead. After a moment, he couldn’t help but look surprised. "Impressive! Such a pure Wood Spirit Root. Your aptitude is even better than Lei Yingying’s."
Ye Qianqian didn’t know what a Wood Spirit Root was. She only knew that she was apparently qualified to learn something new.
Yang Qi then wrote down a line of text. "Tonight, if you can perceive anything from this sentence, I will officially teach you Cultivation. Take your time to study it."
With that, Yang Qi turned and left.
He returned to his Cultivation Room, closed the electronic door, and began to swallow the ginseng Body Tempering Pills. He had been planning to use them anyway. Now that Ye Qianqian was safe, it was time for him to have a breakthrough.
This Cultivation session consumed a total of five ginseng Body Tempering Pills.
Finally, in the early hours of the next day, a surge of Spiritual Energy shot into the sky, forming a strange phenomenon above White Mountain Manor.
*He had broken through!*
Yang Qi had advanced from the Second Layer to the entry-level of the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Stage. Now, if he were to face Gu Zhiyuan again, he was confident he could defeat him even without using the Green Emperor Body.
As he stepped out of his room, he saw the Wolf King and the others standing there.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Boss!"
Everyone was extremely excited. The stronger Yang Qi became, the safer and more stable the Star Shining Society would be.
"It’s still far from enough." Yang Qi shook his head. "We must hurry to find the celestial treasures. Black Widow can’t just die like this; I have to bring her back to life."
From a secular perspective, Black Widow was already dead. But from a Cultivator’s perspective, she hadn’t truly perished. As long as he reached a certain Realm, he had a way to resurrect her.
The group nodded and dispersed to continue their own Cultivation.
Yang Qi then went to Ye Qianqian’s room. To his surprise, he found a small green sprout behind her—tiny but clearly formed, albeit only a phantom. This meant that Ye Qianqian had already comprehended the passage he had written.
I didn’t expect this girl to be a Cultivation prodigy. This certainly warrants careful nurturing.
"Brother Qi!"
Ye Qianqian was also thrilled. Just a few words had brought about a peculiar change in her body. Though she couldn’t describe what it was, she felt that what Yang Qi was teaching her was truly remarkable.
"Alright, I will now impart the complete Cultivation Technique to you."
Yang Qi placed his finger on Ye Qianqian’s forehead again. A few minutes later, she found her mind filled with many new memories.
"Cultivate slowly. I’ll also give you ten Qi Blood Pills. They can help you eliminate impurities from your body, which will benefit your Cultivation," Yang Qi said with a sigh. "You’re truly very lucky. When I was cultivating, I had no one to help me. So, don’t squander my good intentions. I’ll arrange for your leave from the company."
「Meanwhile, at the Wu Family estate in Sea City.」
Wu Chuan had returned, bruised and swollen, and was reporting the situation to the Wu Family Head.
"Useless! Idiot!" Wu Heng, the Family Head, threw his cup in a rage. Wu Chuan scrambled to dodge it.
"You dare to dodge? I sent you to negotiate a deal, not to provoke the Star Shining Society! If the negotiations failed, you should have pushed harder! At worst, you could have conceded some benefits. As long as we secured the distribution rights for the Beauty Pill, we would have been the exclusive agent in Sea City! And you, you idiot, you went after Director Li’s assistant? You even clashed with people from the Star Shining Society? Do you have any idea what the Star Shining Society represents these days? They’re an organization that dared to wipe out the Tianhai Association! Are you trying to get the Wu Family killed?"
Still furious, Wu Heng kicked Wu Chuan several times, growing more enraged by the second. The Wu Family had gotten to where they were today precisely because they were cautious and never dared to offend people recklessly. Luckily, the incident hadn’t escalated, otherwise this bastard really would have ruined the Wu Family.
Kneeling on the ground, Wu Chuan dared not make a sound. He had messed up, and this was the consequence; there was nothing to say. He could only accept his fate.
"Right, the matter I told you to look into, did you find anything?" Wu Heng suddenly asked.
"The matter you...?" Wu Chuan was startled for a moment before remembering. "Yes, I found out! I found out!"
"Oh?" Wu Heng looked at Wu Chuan. "The child my wretched sister adopted is said to be in Kang City. If you truly managed to find his whereabouts, I might spare your pathetic life."
"Family Head, I really found him! The boy is named Yang Qi!" Wu Chuan said hurriedly. "That wretched woman, Wu Rouman, adopted that brat and took care of him until he was three. Later, she was captured by that person from the Capital City, so the boy was placed in an orphanage in Kang City.
"This kid is quite capable. It’s said he used to run a company and graduated from the best medical university in Jingnan Prefecture—a school ranked among the top ten in the country.
"He’s now supposedly in Thunder City and seems to have joined the Star Shining Society, though he’s probably just a peripheral member. He also appears to have a position at Qifei Group, but he got it through connections and is just coasting."
The Wu Family, being a prominent family from Sea City, hadn’t attended the Jingnan Prefecture Elixir Medicine Conference or the Southern Territory National Medicine Conference. Consequently, they didn’t know that Yang Qi had won both championships. If they had, they would have found him much sooner.
