As for why he had to bring Qin Yuru, Ye Luo was naturally worried about what Ji Lingtian might do to her. After all, Ji Lingtian had just suffered a big loss and it was uncertain whether he would once again make a move against Qin Yuru. Ye Luo couldn’t afford to be careless, otherwise, it would be a tragedy involving more than one life.

Upon arriving in the Mysterious Valley, all the women were astonished.

"We’ll stay here for the night. Yan Ran, Mei Zi, you can make use of the nature’s spiritual energy here for cultivation, while the rest should rest in the cabin,"

Ye Luo instructed. Feng Tian had already found a spot, sat down cross-legged, and began to frenziedly absorb the spiritual energy, preparing to make a breakthrough to the Hua Yuan Realm.

Ye Luo also began preparing to refine elixirs. He was going to refine the Yellow Rank Seventh Grade Qi Recovery Pills, which matched the level he had barely reached during his previous alchemy attempts.

Fortunately, the Qi Recovery Pill, as an elixir that replenishes True Qi, was not as complex and difficult to create as other Yellow Rank Seventh Grade elixirs.

However, even so, Ye Luo still failed the first time he tried to refine the Qi Recovery Pills. He hadn’t controlled the heat properly, resulting in an impure extraction of the ingredients.

After several consecutive failures, Ye Luo quickly mastered the essence of refining Qi Recovery Pills.

The ingredients Ye Luo used were all Spiritual Medicine from the Mysterious Valley, nurtured by nature’s spiritual energy, and enhanced by the powerful effects of the Superior grade Spiritual Artifact, the Sanqing Pill Furnace.

Soon, Ye Luo successfully refined the first batch of Qi Recovery Pills, and in one go, produced ten pills, each of excellent quality, not the slightest bit inferior to the Qi Recovery Pills left in the thatched cottage in the valley.

With this success, Ye Luo continued to refine a large number of Qi Recovery Pills. With the Sanqing Pill Furnace, a Superior grade Spiritual Artifact pill furnace, the efficiency, success rate, and yield of his pill refining significantly increased.

Meanwhile, in a private room of a club in the Capital City, Sun Yu, the young master of the Brilliant Group, and Ji Lingtian were sitting together, drinking.

"Young Master Ji, that Qin Group is damn treacherous, hiding so much capital and only revealing it at the end, causing my Brilliant Group to suffer huge losses. It’s infuriating!"

Sun Yu downed a glass of alcohol, and huffed in frustration.

"All of this is Ye Luo’s scheme. This man has brought me such great humiliation. I won’t rest until I kill him," Ji Lingtian’s eyes flashed with a cold glint as well.

"Speaking of Ye Luo, I’m even more annoyed. I had been taught a lesson by that guy in Zhonghai before, but unfortunately, I never found a good opportunity to deal with that bastard properly," Sun Yu said, his tone revealing deep resentment as he spoke of Ye Luo.

"Sun Yu, I’ve heard that you encountered him at a movie celebration event before and suffered a loss," Ji Lingtian’s eyes swept over Sun Yu as he spoke.

"That’s right, it was at the celebration event for the movie starring that pure actress, what’s her name, Shi Yanran. I wanted to take the opportunity to slap his face but didn’t expect Ouyang Yu from the Ouyang Family to appear, saving him from the situation and causing me to lose face. Just thinking about it pisses me off," Sun Yu said coldly.

Ji Lingtian’s eyes moved slightly, and he said, "I heard that the star named Shi Yanran seems to be involved with Ye Luo, and she’s also one of his women."

"Damn, that guy sure has a lot of women," Sun Yu cursed vulgarly.

"I do have a plan to get back at him, but I’m not sure if you have the guts to do it," Ji Lingtian said as his eyes turned to Sun Yu.

"What’s the plan, Young Master Ji?" Sun Yu asked curiously, looking at Ji Lingtian, who leaned in and whispered in his ear.

Sun Yu’s eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Young Master Ji, your plan is brilliant. How come I didn’t think of this? Since that guy has cuckolded you, I’ll return the favor and put the same hat on him while also helping you vent your anger."

"And I have to say, that girl does look pretty good, totally my type. But I seem to have heard that she’s not simple at all, seems like there’s someone behind her. If that happens..."

"Don’t worry, she’s just a celebrity. What kind of big shot could possibly be backing her? At most, it’ll be some wealthy boss. With your identity as the young master of the Sun Family and the heir to the Glorious Group, do you really need to worry about that?" Ji Lingtian said indifferently.

"You’re right, Young Master Ji. But how about we both have a go at it? That way, you can also get some revenge," Sun Yu suggested, looking at Ji Lingtian.

"I won’t compete with you, and frankly, I’m not interested in these female celebrities. You just help me take good care of this revenge, and leave the rest to me." Ji Lingtian patted Sun Yu’s shoulder and said.

"Alright, Young Master Ji, it’s decided then. I’ll get someone to arrange everything right now. Speaking of which, I’m already quite eager," Sun Yu said with a hearty laugh, then stood up and immediately left the private room.

Watching Sun Yu leave, Ji Lingtian’s lips curled up, revealing a sly smile as he muttered two words, "Fool!"

In a residential room in Capital City, several figures were gathered together, among them an elder with long white hair, dressed in a robe similar to a Taoist priest’s, sitting cross-legged on a bed, his face lined with several wrinkles.

His eyes were remarkably bright and showed none of the looseness usually associated with old age; his body thrummed with vigorous blood and True Yuan, clearly marking him as a Hua Yuan Realm powerhouse. In front of him stood several figures in robes, encompassing both middle-aged people and youths.

If Ye Luo were here, he would have recognized one of the youths because it was Fang Yan, his old acquaintance. Formerly the young master of the Fang Family of Zhonghai, Fang Yan’s Dantian had been destroyed by him.

And who, after reappearing in Zhonghai, nearly brought ruin to the Ling Family and Mei Yue, only to end up with his family destroyed and himself disappearing—yet now he was here in Capital City.

"Elder, this is a significant recent event in Capital City," said a middle-aged man in a robe, addressing the old man.

"Ye Luo, where have I heard that name before?" the elder asked with a slightly furrowed brow. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

At that moment, Fang Yan’s expression turned fierce, his eyes flashing with deep hatred as he said, "Master, this Ye Luo is the same person who previously destroyed the Dantian of your disciple and Elder Tan, and who later caused the downfall of my family."

"So it’s him. No wonder. I remember you mentioned him before. I didn’t expect he would be in Capital City and stir up such a sensation. But since we’ve encountered him, disciple, rest assured, your master will find an opportunity to capture this child, destroy his Dantian just as he did to you, and let you personally take your revenge," the elder said solemnly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Fang Yan’s face lit up with joy as he half-kneeled on the ground.

"Enough, stand up. Our main purpose for coming to Capital City this time is still the auction event. This auction is said to be held by a mysterious and massive force," the elder continued.
