Half an hour later, Yuchi left Ascension Gate.

Now a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he tossed away the non-existent toothpick, tapped his old waist, and reflected deeply:

"Changyi’s cultivation directly increased by one level, originally at the fourth level of Golden Core Stage, now it’s increased to the fifth level of Core Formation Stage. Seems like I’m quite useful after all."

"Thinking about it, luckily I didn’t mess around in the sect, otherwise, if things got out of hand, I would have to die in the sect. Fortunately, I’m still somewhat like a sect leader, not abusing the disciples’ trust, just messing around casually."

Now I only have two disciples related to me, one is Yinghan and the other is Changyi. To be honest, if we’re talking about love, it’s with Yinghan, she’s the first. However, considering the relationship with Changyi, I still need to take responsibility.

Of course, Yuchi doesn’t feel he’s losing anything, it’s just that dual cultivation is mentally exhausting. I now have almost two wives, but if I really had to do this every day, I surely wouldn’t be able to handle it, it might just kill this old ox.

Thinking about it, if the entire Ascension Gate were my wives, I wouldn’t dare return to Ascension Gate. Just imagine stepping through the door, and so many wives immediately surround me, I’d probably enter Ascension Gate standing and be carried out horizontally.

"Terrifying indeed."

Yuchi shivered at the thought, this isn’t bullying the weak. Especially if there was any marital relationship with Qian Qun, with my current cultivation at the Golden Core Stage, I’d be gone instantly. At that point, it wouldn’t just be back pain.

I could die!

"So to avoid falling into such a situation, I still need to make money. I already have over seven million now, just shy of two million more. Once I have two million more, I can directly upgrade Ascension Gate to a higher realm, entering the fourth level of Ascension Gate."

"In the third level of Ascension Gate, the sect already has a lot of spiritual qi. After reaching the fourth level, the effect will definitely be even more exaggerated. Now the fourth stage of Ascension Gate is the stage I can touch, and it already requires ten million to upgrade."

"If you think about it, when Ascension Gate rises from the fourth to the fifth level, who knows how long it will take to save up money. So now that it can be upgraded, let’s do it immediately. After upgrading, I won’t need to worry about the realm of Ascension Gate for quite a while."

Making money, still have to make money, Yuchi really has been doing this from the beginning of the year till the end. No matter where I run, there’s still about two months until year-end. Can I make two million in these two months? Relying on earning money alone, it’s definitely not possible.

But if making money isn’t possible, then what about retrieving my lost treasures? Or maybe just borrowing some money from the casinos.

Yuchi’s old face lit up gradually: "Yes, I should go borrow some money from others, just like when I initially borrowed money from the casino in Xufu Town. Although running back and forth is a bit troublesome, trouble is just trouble, collecting rent isn’t exhausting."

"However, silver notes indeed aren’t very useful. Immortal Stones don’t accept silver notes, so even if I get them, I can’t launder them. My elder brother is also very busy with the business and Xiangxiang’s affairs, I can’t disturb his life."

"So I might as well take a few strolls around the town. If there isn’t cash there, then I’ll head to the sect, go around Canglan City to see if there are any criminal dens, then display the divine light of righteousness. This way, I’ll dismantle many hideouts, and secondly, I might even get some money."

Decided.

There’s two months until New Year, and to make this much money still requires extra effort. After two months, I’ll take my disciples to visit a big city, and once they’re done visiting, the second phase of Xufu Town’s expansion will begin.

"There’s still a lot to do, next year I’ll likely spend in Xufu Town. We need to swallow all the major towns around Jiangzhou City into Xufu Town, which requires attention to what’s happening near Xufu Town, including that mysterious Great Tang Prison. The matters of the Great Tang Prison need to be resolved, and mentioning Great Tang Prison... did I forget something..."

Yuchi was momentarily at a loss.

Did I forget something before? Great Tang Prison... Great Tang Prison... Hmm... Great Tang Pri... Yuchi’s lips twitched as he recalled: "Yes! Back when I returned to Xufu Town to resolve the matters of my big brother and Xiangxiang, I did want to check out Great Tang Prison!"

"But later, because my big brother and Xiangxiang had so much fun, plus other things on my mind, I completely forgot about it!"

"Ah! Can this even be forgotten?"
