I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Jiang Xiaotian was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "That is indeed true."

He shook his head self-deprecatingly: "That is an heirloom of my Jiang family. It's just a pity that no one, including myself, has been able to activate even a fraction of its spiritual power."

"There must be some obstacle I don't understand, otherwise, I wouldn't be stuck at the peak of the Transformation Realm when my lifespan is almost over."

Hearing these words, Jiang Yu'er blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I...I only knew that this treasure existed, but I didn't know there were these details."

She looked at Ye An with a hint of apology, "Master Ye, you won't blame me, will you?"

Ye An smiled calmly and shook his head: "It's alright."

He turned his gaze to Jiang Xiaotian and calmly said, "May I borrow it for a moment?"

Jiang Xiaotian did not hesitate at all, and his attitude was extremely sincere: "Let alone lending it to you for your use, Master, only a divine person like you can use such a treasure."

"If the master doesn't mind, then this is a gift for you!"

No matter how precious a treasure is, if it cannot be used by people, it is just an ordinary piece of jade.

Jiang Xiaotian had a clear understanding of how to exchange a piece of jade for a favor from a master.

Jiang Yuer quickly brought out an old-fashioned wooden box.

Ye An opened the box. Inside, besides many rare medicinal plants, there was also a jade pendant lying quietly. It looked ordinary in texture and had a restrained spiritual energy, no different from ordinary ancient jade.

Ye An then took out the teaching jade pendant he had obtained from the Qin family from his person.

The moment the two jade pendants came close together, a strange thing happened!

"Buzz—"

A soft chime rang out in the tea room, and the two jade pendants simultaneously emitted a gentle white light, automatically flying up from Ye Anhe's box, spinning in mid-air, and finally perfectly merging into one.

The moment the jade pendant merged with the outside world, a pure spiritual energy a hundred times more concentrated than the outside world emanated from it.

"There really is a spiritual vein, haha!"

The next moment, Ye An put the jade pendant into his hand, and the spiritual energy disappeared again.

Jiang Xiaotian and Jiang Yuer felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, their pores opening up, and they even had the illusion that their newly broken-through realm had improved again.

The two looked at the complete jade pendant in Ye An's hand, which was radiating a shimmering, precious light, their eyes filled with shock.

No way? Although Jiang Xiaotian said it was fine to give it to Ye An, he didn't really expect Ye An to be able to crack it. He never expected that the jade pendant that had stumped the Jiang family for generations would be cracked by Ye An so easily.

"It's all fate..."

Ye An put away the jade pendant, nodded in satisfaction, and said calmly, "I never take things from others for nothing."

He looked around the tea room and said, "Very well, I'll refine another batch of Qi-Nourishing Pills for you right here as an exchange."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaotian was so excited he almost knelt down again, and hurriedly said, "Master, how can this be! Whatever alchemy furnace or medicinal herbs you need, my Jiang family will spare no expense to find them for you!"

"No need."

Ye An waved his hand, flicked his finger, and a wisp of golden true essence appeared out of thin air, transforming into a semi-transparent golden medicine cauldron in the center of the tea room.

The medicinal herbs that Jiang Yuer had brought earlier were now transformed into streaks of light under his divine control and precisely thrown into the flames.

Jiang Yuer and Jiang Xiaotian were both a little confused by what they saw.

Alchemy... can it be done without a furnace?

The moment the alchemy began, the weather above the Jiang family manor suddenly changed!

A terrifying vortex of spiritual energy formed out of thin air centered on the tea room and rapidly expanded.

In the sky, colorful clouds gathered from all directions, condensing into auspicious cloud patterns visible to the naked eye, which were extremely beautiful and enveloped the entire manor.

The strange phenomena did not stop; on the contrary, they intensified!

The auspicious clouds covered an area that stretched from the Jiang family manor all the way up, illuminating almost half of the night sky in Shanghai as bright as day.

All the ancient martial arts practitioners and cultivators in Shanghai felt something at this moment, and looked in horror towards the direction of the Jiang family manor, feeling the spiritual pressure that made their souls tremble.

"Holy crap, what's that noise now?"

"My God! What is that? Is a god descending to earth?"

"The direction is towards the Jiang family manor... Could it be that Master Ye has made his move again?"

"This is more than just making a move; the sheer scale of it suggests he might be breaking through to the legendary Martial God Realm!"

The guests who had just left the Jiang family and hadn't gone far were terrified when they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky. Some even collapsed to their knees and kowtowed in the direction of the Jiang family manor.

no way……

The impression Ye An had left on everyone was truly unprecedented.

"It must be Master Ye An's doing! The life-extending elixir that Jiang Xiaotian took was made by him!"

"I see. But the Li family made quite a bit of money by using their ability to refine divine pills as an excuse."

"Hehe, they're in big trouble then. This Master Ye is a ruthless killer; he'll get his revenge sooner or later."

"Sigh, if only Master Ye could also refine pills in my home..."

……

Meanwhile, the Li family, the foremost family in Shanghai's pharmaceutical industry.

An elderly man with white hair and beard stared in astonishment at the strange phenomena outside his window.

What a magnificent sight this is! Wait, it seems somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered something, and scrambled into the family library, pulling out a yellowed ancient book.

"Found it! Found it!"

The old man pointed to a line in the book, his voice trembling.

"When the elixir is of the highest grade, its spiritual energy transforms into clouds, a phenomenon known as the 'Elixir Cloud Phenomenon'!"

This... is actually a phenomenon that only exists in top-grade pills!

The pills are divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior. The superior grade has one part poison, the middle grade has three parts poison, and the inferior grade has five parts poison.

Even in a metropolis like Shanghai, most of the pills that make it to auctions are of medium to low quality.

If one wants a high-grade pill, one can only wait by the alchemy room of a family of medicine practitioners like the Li family. Only in this way can one purchase a single high-grade pill, which shows how scarce high-grade pills are...

But he was immediately stunned, because the ancient book continued: "...its cloud patterns were so abundant that they could fill the alchemy room."

The elder of the Li family stared blankly at the four characters "filling the alchemy chamber" on the ancient book, then looked up at the spectacular view outside the window that covered half the city, as if he had been struck by lightning.

His lips trembled as he muttered to himself:

"Why do ancient texts only record that it filled the alchemy chamber? This is much more than that... Did our ancestors record something wrong?"

"Impossible! Those capable of refining such elixirs are practically extinct in this world!"

"Could it be... that a reclusive ancient monster has emerged?!"

……

……

The tea room was completely silent.

As Ye An retrieved the alchemy cauldron, the dazzling alchemical phenomena that filled the room receded like a tide, disappearing without a trace.

Twelve Qi-Nourishing Pills floated quietly in front of him, their bodies crystal clear, with mysterious cloud patterns slowly flowing across them.

At the same time, a refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire tea room.

Ye An himself was also quite pleasantly surprised.

He never expected that while refining pills, he would inadvertently trigger the vast spiritual energy contained in his personal jade pendant, which not only caused the success rate of pills to skyrocket, but also made the quality of the pills far surpass that of the past, and even produced the legendary "Dan Yun Pattern"!

He flicked his fingertips, and two streaks of light flew out. One landed steadily in Jiang Xiaotian's hand, while the other floated gently in front of Jiang Yuer.

He casually put the remaining ten into his pocket.

Ye An also plans to hold an auction of medicinal pills; these high-quality Qi-cultivating pills are sure to fetch a high price.

Jiang Xiaotian held the pill in his hands, feeling its warm touch and pure medicinal power. When he saw the dreamlike cloud patterns on the pill, he froze.

"This one is even more effective than the one I took before!"

Although Jiang Xiaotian didn't understand pharmacology or alchemy, he was quite knowledgeable. The cloud-like patterns that appeared after elixirs were a phenomenon only recorded in ancient texts!

His gaze toward Ye An changed completely, transforming from scrutiny into deep awe.

He was thrilled: "It's truly an honor for the Jiang family that Xiao Yu'er was able to bring Master Ye back!"

Jiang Yu'er held the warm pill, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief: "This...you really made this casually?"

You should know that in the past, when the Jiang family wanted a single pill, they would have to wait for a month or even several months.

Who has ever seen Ye An with such divine skill, creating pills with a mere laugh?

Faced with the shocked gazes of the two, Ye An simply smiled calmly and said nonchalantly:

"It was just a small favor, nothing at all."
