With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

"Take this pill, and you'll get better soon."

Ye Yaocheng tossed out three pills, which landed precisely in the hands of the three white wolves. His voice was calm, and he walked straight to the large bed in the inner room without stopping.

Qin Long lay there, his face as pale as paper, blood seeping from the bandage wrapped around his chest. It was an injury caused by the shattering of his meridians by the true energy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. An ordinary doctor would only shake his head at the sight.

"President Qin, relax."

Ye Yaocheng stood by the bed, looking down at this once-powerful underground tycoon of Linjiang.

"Believe me, as long as I have a breath left, I can snatch the person back from the clutches of the King of Hell."

Qin Long raised his eyes with difficulty, his Adam's apple bobbing: "...Thank you."

He didn't say anything more. At this point, he had no choice but to believe.

Ye Yaocheng took out the Cold Iron Cloud Pattern Needle from his pocket. It was a gift from Elder Jiang, and it finally came in handy today.

He picked up nine silver needles and inserted them into nine major acupoints on Qin Long's body, then began to rotate them. With each rotation, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Qin Long's forehead.

His body trembled slightly, his jaw clenched, but he didn't utter a sound.

"Relax." Ye Yaocheng's voice remained calm. "This is my master's unique skill. As long as the patient has a breath left, once the needle is inserted, the life can be saved."

Qin Long nodded with difficulty.

Time passed second by second.

Only the faint sound of silver needles being twirled and Qin Long's increasingly heavy breathing remained in the room.

An hour later, Ye Yaocheng stopped the needlework.

As the last silver needle was pulled out, Qin Long suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, thick and foul-smelling, which even emitted wisps of white smoke as it fell to the ground.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Yaocheng asked.

Qin Long paused for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and pressed it to his chest.

The next second, his eyes lit up with disbelief: "I feel like I'm much better."

Ye Yaocheng handed over a crimson pill, saying, "I have reopened all your meridians. After taking this 'Crimson Sun Vitality Pill,' not only will your injuries be healed, but your cultivation will also advance further."

Qin Long swallowed it without hesitation.

Fifteen minutes later, the gruesome wound on his chest began to heal at a visible speed, his skin and flesh regenerated, the blood dried, and his pale face quickly regained its rosy hue.

He looked down at his intact chest, then looked up at Ye Yaocheng. His lips trembled several times before he finally rolled off the bed and knelt on one knee.

"Your Excellency saved our lives, rescuing the Black Dragon Society from annihilation," Qin Long said resolutely. "From this day forward, the entire Black Dragon Society will be at your command, ready to go through fire and water, even at the cost of our lives!"

Behind him, Saitama, Black Owl, Yu Lian, and White Wolf all knelt down on one knee.

Five people, moving in perfect unison.

Ye Yaocheng waved his hand, "I don't usually have that many things for you to do. I just do what I'm supposed to do. It's just that I occasionally have to run errands and do odd jobs, which I need to trouble you with."

As he spoke, he took out four more pills.

The pill was orange-yellow in color, with three golden patterns wrapped around its surface, like three small golden dragons coiled within. The moment the fragrance of the medicine spread, the air in the entire room seemed to become a little fresher.

"These are the Foundation Establishment Pills I just refined. Take them and I guarantee you'll reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

With a flick of his wrist, four pills landed precisely in the hands of the four people.

Saitama and the other two stared at the pill in their palms, their hands trembling. They never expected that they would be able to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill in their lifetime.

Only Hei Xiao frowned. He looked at the pill in his hand, then looked up at Ye Yaocheng, his eyes filled with increasing doubt: "My lord, why is this Foundation Establishment Pill different from the one I bought last time?"

The pill that was auctioned last time was dark and dull; compared to this one, the difference is enormous!

Ye Yaocheng chuckled, "Last one was just something I casually refined in an iron pot. This time I used a proper alchemy furnace, so it's naturally different."

The iron pot... was just casually forged...

Black Owl's mind went blank. He finally realized why this person looked so familiar. This was the young man who had given Young Master Yang a hard time last time. He hadn't expected him to be so powerful.

"Follow me, and you won't suffer any losses." Ye Yaocheng's gaze swept over the five people. "If you want this kind of pill, I can refine it anytime."

After he finished speaking, only heavy breathing could be heard in the room.

Qin Long took a deep breath and bowed again: "The Black Dragon Society will never forget your kindness, sir. From now on, if you ever need anything, just say the word."

Ye Yaocheng nodded and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"There are more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs here. If you have time, please help me find them all. Then I will refine a few more batches of pills to improve your overall strength."

Qin Long accepted it with both hands. He hesitated for a moment, then knelt on one knee, his voice heavy: "My lord... I have another request."

"explain."

"Please, sir, help us to wipe out the White Tiger Society."

Ye Yaocheng smiled and said, "Since I saved you, I will naturally see it through to the end. I will go with you tomorrow. Focus on recovering today and get yourself into the best condition." After saying that, he turned and left.

Qin Long was still kneeling on the ground, looking in the direction where Ye Yaocheng had disappeared, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

He didn't know if his decision today was right or wrong, binding the fate of the entire Black Dragon Society to someone he had only known for a short time, but he had no choice.

Qin Long stood up, his gaze sharpening once more. "Now that we've joined the master's ranks, we must demonstrate strength worthy of him. Take this pill, and tomorrow, we'll reclaim everything we've lost, with interest!"

Without further hesitation, the four tilted their heads back and swallowed the pills.

The moment the pill entered the stomach, four violent streams of heat suddenly exploded out!

Ten minutes later.

All four of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Foundation Building Stage!

"I've truly broken through! That feeling of true energy surging like a river within my body—it can't be faked!"

Saitama clenched his fist so hard his knuckles cracked. "The White Tiger Society... we'll settle this score tomorrow."

Looking at his four transformed subordinates, Qin Long's last bit of hesitation vanished.

He made the right bet this time.

……

In the open space in front of the Black Dragon Society headquarters, more than fifty people stood in a dark mass, each with fierce eyes and more or less bearing injuries, but their morale was high.

Ye Yaocheng stood at the very front and glanced around.

"Have they all arrived?"

"My lord, everyone is here and in top condition." Qin Long stepped forward, his voice booming.

After a day of rest, except for Qin Long, whose internal injuries had not yet fully healed, the other members of the Black Dragon Society had recovered to about 70-80% of their combat strength.

More importantly, the Foundation Establishment stage auras of Saitama, Black Owl, Ghost Lotus, and White Wolf were unabashedly revealed.

Four Foundation Establishments!

Yesterday, Qin Long wouldn't have dared to even think about it, but now, he has absolute confidence.

"Let's go," Ye Yaocheng uttered.

The convoy drove out of the Black Dragon Society headquarters, crossed half of Linjiang City, and finally stopped in front of a magnificent building in the North District.

Junhu Group.

Four gilded characters gleamed blindingly in the setting sun. This was a well-known construction company in Linjiang, a major taxpayer, and a key supporter of the city. Who would have thought that beneath its walls lay the headquarters of the White Tiger Society?

"As expected." Ye Yaocheng looked up at the building and muttered to himself, "To gain a foothold in this world, you need both the legitimate and illegitimate sides."

Their arrival in such large numbers immediately alerted the security guards.

Less than three minutes later, the glass doors of the building opened, and a group of people poured out.

The person walking at the very front was a woman.

A red, tight leather outfit hugged her incredibly hot figure. She had big, wavy hair, red lips, and a slender cigarette between her fingers. Her gait was like that of a lazy female leopard, each step carrying a strong sense of aggression.

"Yo~" Huang Lili exhaled a smoke ring, her seductive eyes sweeping over the Black Dragon Society members. "What wind blew Chairman Qin and all the brothers here today?"

Her voice was so soothing and captivating that even the Black Dragon Society members with weaker willpower stared blankly at her.

Qin Long leaned close to Ye Yaocheng's ear and whispered, "Be careful, sir. This woman is the leader of the White Tiger Society, nicknamed 'The Mother Tiger.' She's ruthless, vicious, and a master at bewitching men."

Ye Yaocheng didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.

Huang Lili's gaze also fell on Ye Yaocheng.

Her eyes lit up.

"What a handsome young man~" She swayed a few steps closer, her red lips curving into an alluring smile. "First time meeting you, would you like to come inside with me, have a cup of tea, and chat... about our life goals?"

As she spoke, she licked her lips.

Saitama took a step forward, and the pressure of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator erupted!

"Huang Lili! Stop your tantrums! Today, with the adults here, we're going to crush your White Tiger Society!"

An overwhelming pressure swept over them, and Huang Lili's subordinates all took a step back.

She gave Ye Yaocheng a deep look, her smile widening: "Young man, you really are a hidden talent~ But..."

She flicked off her cigarette ash, her tone suddenly turning cold.

"You really think... we don't have any trump cards up our sleeves? Our White Tiger Society can suppress your Black Dragon Society to the point of suffocation within a month?"

With a wave of his hand.

Three people stepped out from the crowd behind her.

The moment the three of them stood still, three Foundation Establishment stage auras erupted simultaneously!

"Let me introduce them." Huang Lili smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream. "These three are the honored guests of my White Tiger Society—and also an obstacle that your Black Dragon Society can never overcome."

She turned her gaze to Black Owl, her mockery palpable: "Oh, by the way, I should also thank your Black Owl~ That Foundation Establishment Pill at the last auction helped our Elder Liu successfully break through!"

Black Owl's face instantly turned ashen!

The Foundation Establishment Pill that he had bought and then had stolen was a thorn in his side!

"You're asking for it—!"

Black Owl was completely enraged. He charged out like a cannonball and punched Huang Lili straight in the face!

This punch was unleashed with rage, unleashing all the true energy of the Foundation Establishment stage, tearing through the air with its force!

Huang Lili didn't even lift her eyelids.

To her left, the burly, bear-like bald man moved, taking a step forward and throwing a punch in the same manner.

Two fists collide!

The shockwave exploded, knocking several of his henchmen to the ground. Black Owl and the bald, burly man each took three steps back, the paving stones beneath their feet shattering!

have equal shares!

Huang Lili finally stopped smiling seductively.

She stared at Black Owl, her gaze gradually turning cold: "You've also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Before Black Owl could answer, she abruptly turned her head and looked at Ye Yaocheng.

"Young man, this gift you gave me is truly a pleasant surprise." Her voice had lost its seductive charm, replaced only by a chilling killing intent. "But do you think adding another Foundation Establishment cultivator will turn the tide?"

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

Inside the building, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

More White Tiger Society members poured out, forming a dense, dark mass, more than twice the number of Black Dragon Society members.

More importantly, these people were all holding machetes, iron bars, and even a few dark-colored pistols.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Ye Yaocheng finally made a move.

He took a step forward, just one step, and stood right in the center of the standoff.

The setting sun stretched his shadow long.

He looked up at Huang Lili, then glanced at the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and finally his gaze returned to Huang Lili's face.

Then he spoke.

The sound wasn't loud, but it traveled clearly into everyone's ears:

"Do you think having more people is more useful?"

Huang Lili narrowed her eyes: "Otherwise what?"

Ye Yaocheng smiled.

The smile was faint, yet it inexplicably made Huang Lili's heart tighten.

"Then today, I'll teach you something."

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, and aimed it at the dark mass of people from the White Tiger Society. "In the face of absolute strength."

"Quantity is meaningless."

The moment he finished speaking, a golden light appeared in his palm.
