"Really? That’s wonderful, just cultivate here, and when you want to leave, just walk out from the place we came from earlier. A strong cultivator has cast an illusion spell there, making it appear as if it’s just a mountain wall."

Feng Tian’s eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at Ye Luo, "You can actually see through an illusion spell? You truly are shrouded in mystery, and I find myself somewhat unable to see through you."

"If you stay by my side long enough, you’ll gradually see through me. Go on, cultivate. I need to concoct some elixirs."

As Ye Luo spoke, he began picking some spiritual medicine. One of his goals for bringing Feng Tian here was to use the spiritual medicine found in this place to concoct some elixirs, otherwise, it would be such a waste not to utilize so many spiritual medicines.

"If I can find the Seven Gleams Grass and combine it with a few of these rare spiritual medicines here, maybe I could concoct the Breakthrough Pill that master mentioned."

Ye Luo muttered to himself. The Breakthrough Pill he referred to was a Yellow Rank Seventh Grade elixir, which, as the name implies, could help someone break through their cultivation realm barrier.

Once consumed, this elixir could enable someone to advance directly from the Half-Saint Realm to the Saint Realm, which underscores the elixir’s fearsome power. However, concocting it was extremely difficult, rivaling even the process of making an ordinary Xuan Rank elixir.

The ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill were particularly rare, especially the Seven Gleams Grass, which was exceedingly hard to find, and the other ingredients were no less scarce.

Had it not been for the presence of these ingredients in the Mysterious Valley, Ye Luo wouldn’t have even thought about concocting the Breakthrough Pill. Moreover, he had only heard about it from his master and had never seen one.

If he could concoct the Breakthrough Pill, then he could quickly create several Saint Realm experts, greatly enhancing his own power.

Pushing these thoughts aside, Ye Luo focused on concocting a batch of elixirs. This time, he was concocting Yellow Rank Sixth Grade, and even Yellow Rank Seventh Grade elixirs.

Even though these elixirs were difficult to concoct, Ye Luo’s actions were aimed at improving his alchemy skills as quickly as possible. Otherwise, even if he had the ingredients for the Breakthrough Pill, he wouldn’t be capable of concocting Yellow Rank Ninth Grade elixirs if his alchemy skills were insufficient.

Fortunately, his master, the old man, had imparted to him many alchemy insights and techniques, and with the help of the superior grade spiritual artifact, the Sanqing Pill Furnace, his success rate was quite high.

However, even so, in the span of just over an hour, he still caused several pill furnace explosions, damaging quite a bit of medicinal material. Lucky for him, this valley was abundant with medicinal herbs, or else it would not have withstood such wastefulness.

While Ye Luo was busy with his alchemy, Ji Lingtian had arrived at Qin Yuru’s office in the Qin Group.

"Is there something you need?"

Looking at Ji Lingtian, Qin Yuru asked in a calm tone, as if the man standing before her wasn’t going to become her fiancé the next day.

Within Ji Lingtian’s eyes, a flash of cold light passed by, and he involuntarily clenched his fist. An icy and formidable aura emanated from him.

Noticing the abnormal expression on Ji Lingtian’s face, Qin Yuru couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

Bang!

A thunderous, muffled sound suddenly erupted in the office as Ji Lingtian slammed his palm down on Qin Yuru’s office desk in front of her, causing everything on the desk to jump and creating numerous cracks in the desk made of nanmu wood.

"You..." Qin Yuru looked at Ji Lingtian in shock.

"Qin Yuru, you’re ruthless, quite something indeed, to have deceived even me!" Ji Lingtian said with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Qin Yuru. That devilish smile sent a chill through Qin Yuru.

"What nonsense are you spouting, Ji Lingtian?" Qin Yuru abruptly stood up and looked at Ji Lingtian, her voice stern.

A glint of fierceness flashed in Ji Lingtian’s eyes. He grabbed Qin Yuru’s hair and dragged her from behind the desk, throwing her onto the ground, which caused her pain and left her hair disheveled.

"Have you gone mad, Ji Lingtian?" Qin Yuru yelled at Ji Lingtian.

"Qin Yuru, you really know how to play the game, don’t you? On one hand, you use me to stabilize your position as the helmsman of the Qin Group, pretending to be engaged to me, and on the other hand, you’ve secretly conceived a child with another man! You’re quite something!"

Ji Lingtian stared at Qin Yuru, his face icy as he spoke each word, his whole body emanating a cold, suffocating intent to kill. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Upon hearing Ji Lingtian’s words, Qin Yuru’s delicate body shivered, her complexion instantly changing, but she quickly regained her composure, her eyes shifting as she looked at Ji Lingtian and said, "Don’t spout nonsense, there’s no such thing."

"You still want to lie to me now? I’ve taken your blood for testing. Do you still think I’m a fool?"

Ji Lingtian’s handsome face had become somewhat distorted, his eyes filled with intense hatred.

Although he didn’t have deep feelings for Qin Yuru, and his engagement was partly for the benefit of the Qin Clan and partly because he wanted her body, he had regarded Qin Yuru as his woman in his heart. Now that he knew she had been with another man and was even pregnant, it was like being hit with a cuckold’s cap.

This was something no man could accept, let alone a proud man like Ji Lingtian. The fact that he hadn’t killed Qin Yuru on the spot was already proof of his great restraint.

At this moment, Qin Yuru’s face had turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembling as she looked at Ji Lingtian and said, "I’m sorry!"

"Whose child is this? Who is the man that cuckolded me?" Ji Lingtian asked coldly, his voice filled with a chilling cold that made one shudder.

"I’m sorry, I was wrong to you. If you want to cancel the engagement, I can agree. Whatever compensation you want, I will do my best to fulfill your demands," Qin Yuru said, her expression faint and her eyes showing a hint of exhaustion.

"After using me to get the Qin Clan, you think you can just cancel the engagement? Dream on. I’m telling you, the engagement ceremony the day after will proceed as normal, but this child and the man who cuckolded me cannot be spared!" Ji Lingtian declared coldly.

"What are you planning to do?" Qin Yuru’s face turned pale as she looked at Ji Lingtian.

"After the engagement, I will arrange for someone to immediately take care of that child, and you will also tell me who that man is. I want him to suffer the most excruciating torment and die!"

Ji Lingtian’s eyes flickered with a ruthless glare like that of a venomous snake, his tone icy cold, instilling an inexplicable fear.

"No, please, I beg you, I can agree to anything you want, but the child in my belly is innocent. Please don’t harm this tiny life," Qin Yuru pleaded, clutching at Ji Lingtian’s pants.

Slap!

A crisp and resounding slap echoed, as Ji Lingtian slapped Qin Yuru across the face, knocking her to the ground with a clear red handprint on her cheek.
