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

After finishing his official business, Fang Hongda proposed to arrange for someone to coordinate the details of the subsequent cooperation with Su's Pharmaceutical.

After the business was settled, Su Wanqing naturally wanted to fulfill her duty as a host, so she immediately hosted a banquet to entertain Fang Hongda.

At the banquet, all kinds of delicacies and expensive wines were served in a continuous stream.

Jiang Ya sat at the table, rarely speaking.

She watched Su Wanqing and Fang Hongda chatting and laughing, and occasionally served food to Ye An, her every move exuding the composure of a hostess.

Fang Hongda, this business tycoon, always maintained a humble attitude in front of Ye An.

Jiang Ya had mixed feelings about the meal.

When the dinner ended and they saw each other off at the hotel entrance, Fang Hongda respectfully exchanged contact information with Ye An.

"Master Ye," Fang Hongda lowered his voice, "I've had someone collect some of the rare metals or jade you mentioned before about exchanging them for magical artifacts. I'll organize them and send them to you for a look later."

Ye An nodded.

Fang Hongda added, "As for Ji Ting's money, don't worry about it. I'll have someone deliver the card to your door by noon tomorrow at the latest."

He arranged everything perfectly, leaving no room for error.

Su Wanqing and Jiang Ya stood aside, watching the old man's actions and manners, and secretly admired him.

This is what a truly great person is like—meticulous and thorough in everything they do.

After seeing Fang Hongda off, Su Wanqing took Ye An's arm, with Jiang Ya following beside her, and the three of them walked together towards the parking lot.

"Wanqing, I'm going back now," Jiang Ya said, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"I'll take you," Su Wanqing said.

"No need," Jiang Ya shook her head, glanced at Ye An, and then quickly looked away. "You should all go back and rest early too."

After saying that, she quickly walked to her car without looking back.

……

The next day at noon, Fang Hongda's people delivered a bank card to Longquan Mingdi on time.

Ye An took the card, didn't even look at it, and handed it directly to Su Wanqing next to him.

"You take charge of the money."

Su Wanqing took the card, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

He gave her a billion yuan so casually. She knew it wasn't about the money, but about unconditional trust.

"Okay, I'll save it for you first. Just let me know if you want to use it later."

Ye An hummed in agreement, but his mind was preoccupied with other matters.

Although he had acquired wealth, his spiritual practice encountered a bottleneck.

Although the "Myriad Forms Limitless Technique" is powerful, its consumption of spiritual energy is terrifying.

He broke through from the early stage of the Innate Realm to the middle stage in just one month, but now he feels it will take at least three months to go from the middle stage to the peak.

This was still in Longquan Mansion, a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy, and with the assistance of a small spirit-gathering array he had set up.

At this rate, the cultivation speed will only slow down further along the way.

Ye An sat on the sofa, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knee.

There are essentially two directions to accelerate cultivation.

First, borrow external resources, such as elixirs or rare and precious materials.

Second, find a true spiritual place for spiritual practice.

Spiritual sites are extremely rare to find on Earth today; they are a matter of chance and can only be sought after by chance. We can put them aside for now.

That leaves only the first path.

The Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pills he refined himself were somewhat useful for those at the Acquired Realm, but for him, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, the effect was negligible, almost like eating a snack.

So, the only way to quickly improve his cultivation level, besides finding higher-grade rare and precious materials, is through dual cultivation.

As soon as the thought popped into his head, Ye An's gaze fell on Su Wanqing, who was busy in the kitchen.

Her figure appeared exceptionally gentle under the warm light.

The effect of dual cultivation is that the closer the cultivation levels of both parties are, the greater the benefit to each other.

Su Wanqing is now just an ordinary person. Her body is healthier than the average person after his treatment, but that's all.

If things continue like this, the speed at which my cultivation improves will be slowed down sooner or later.

We must make her start cultivating as well.

Moreover, we need to find a Yin-attribute cultivation technique that suits her constitution.

Thinking of this, three words came to Ye An's mind—Tian Sha Sect.

As Master Guan mentioned before, the Heavenly Fiend Sect is the guardian sect of the Burial Immortal Valley, and the Burial Immortal Valley is very likely the remnant of an ancient immortal cultivation sect.

Even if a sect with such a long history declines, it is highly likely that it will still leave behind some cultivation techniques and scriptures.

Moreover, since it is a sect, there is a high possibility that there is a "spiritual land" built by human hands, which is a kind of existence that is much more advanced than the spirit gathering array he set up.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye An's goal became incredibly clear.

We must find the Valley of Burial Immortals as soon as possible.

……

In the following days, Ye An caused a minor stir in Jiangcheng's wealthy circles.

One after another, wealthy individuals who had received the news visited Longquan Mansion, bringing with them precious metals and ancient jade that they had purchased at great expense.

Ye An didn't let them come for nothing.

He selected some materials rich in spiritual energy and casually crafted a few small magical artifacts.

Some can calm the mind and improve sleep.

Some are warm in winter and cool in summer, making them very comfortable to wear.

These trinkets, which Ye An considered insignificant, were seen as divine intervention by the wealthy.

They were all amazed by Ye An, calling him "Master Ye" and "Living Immortal," and their attitude was extremely respectful.

Ye An then suggested that they use their connections to help find out about a place called "Burial Immortal Valley" or "Heavenly Fiend Gate".

The wealthy individuals readily agreed and immediately mobilized their networks to investigate.

However, two weeks have passed, and although a lot of news has come back, none of it is of any value.

The name "Valley of Burial Immortals" seems to have appeared out of thin air, and there is no trace of it in any known information.

That afternoon, Ye An was refining pills in the basement.

He sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy cauldron, controlling the fire with one hand, his expression focused.

My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

Ye An separated a wisp of his divine sense to answer the phone call, but his eyes never left the alchemy furnace.

"Feed".

"Master Ye! It's me, Xiao Guan!" came Master Guan's excited, breathless voice from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, Master Guan, what's up?"

"We've made progress! We've found the place you asked me to look for!"

Ye An's hands, which controlled the furnace fire, were as steady as a rock, but a slight thought stirred within him.

"Let's talk about it at Longquan Mansion."

After hanging up the phone, about ten minutes later, a fragrant aroma of elixir wafted from the alchemy furnace.

It became.

Ye An put away the pills, cleaned the alchemy cauldron, and then leisurely walked up to the living room on the first floor.

He had only been sitting on the sofa for a short while when the doorbell rang.

Master Guan stood at the door, looking travel-worn and sweaty, but his spirits were high.

"Master Ye." He bowed respectfully as he entered.

"Sit down and talk," Ye An said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

After sitting down, Master Guan took out a map from his bag, but then shook his head.

"Master, using maps is no longer a good method. I've checked some local chronicles, but the Heavenly Fiend Sect has existed for too long, and the terrain has changed too much. We simply can't find it by following the map."

"I found it using a different method." Master Guan's face showed a hint of pride. "I know some methods of feng shui and finding dragon veins. A place like this, which can serve as the foundation of a sect, must be a feng shui treasure land, a place where dragon veins converge."

"Over the past two weeks, I've visited all the mountains near Jiangnan Province that meet the criteria, and finally, I've narrowed it down to one place."

Looking at Master Guan's bloodshot eyes and slightly haggard face, Ye An knew that he had probably suffered a lot these past two weeks.

He actually put in so much effort for something of his own.

"Thank you for your hard work," Ye An said.

Master Guan quickly waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all! Master, you modified my cultivation method, that's a life-saving grace. My little bit of physical labor is nothing to repay you."

Ye An didn't say anything more, but simply kept this favor in his heart.

He decided to go with Master Guan himself.

But he needed to make some preparations before setting off.

Su Wanqing's safety was his biggest concern.

He made a phone call.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Wuji, Li Gui, and Qian Duoduo stood solemnly in front of Ye An.

"Master Ye, you've been looking for us," Zhao Wuji said, bowing.

"I'm going on a long trip, and the timing is uncertain." Ye An looked at the three of them. "After I leave, you all have only one task: protect Su Wanqing's safety and stay by her side at all times."

"I know you've always wanted to do things for me."

As Ye An spoke, he took out three small jade bottles from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"These contain Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pills, one for each person."

The three of them started breathing rapidly.

Zhao Wuji, in particular, knew that his constant guarding outside Master Ye's residence had ultimately been effective!

His gaze was fixed on the jade bottle, his eyes filled with longing.

He has been stuck at the peak of internal strength for many years, just one step away from the realm of mastering internal strength, but he has been unable to break through.

Without hesitation, he picked up a bottle, poured out the pill that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Li Gui and Qian Duoduo watched him nervously.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a surge of heat exploded and rushed to his limbs and bones.

Zhao Wuji felt as if his meridians were being washed by molten iron, the pain was unbearable, but he gritted his teeth, sat down cross-legged, and used all his strength to guide the violent medicinal power.

His aura began to rise steadily.

An invisible wave of energy emanated from him and spread outwards.

The air in the living room felt thick and sticky.

"boom!"

A muffled thud seemed to break through some invisible barrier.

Zhao Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

His aura was completely different now; it was powerful, solid, and carried the unique pressure of a grandmaster.

He really succeeded in breaking through!

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Ye!" Zhao Wuji turned over and knelt down, kowtowing heavily to Ye An.

Li Gui and Qian Duoduo also knelt down, their faces filled with excitement and fervor.

One elixir can create a grandmaster.

This is divine intervention!

Ye An looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, his expression unchanged. What he wanted was more than just gratitude and awe.

"Get up. You have seen my sincerity; now I need your sincerity..."

Ye An slowly raised his right hand, bringing his index and middle fingers together, with a wisp of black mist swirling around his fingertips.

The fog was thin, yet it carried a chilling, unsettling quality.

"I want you to make an oath."

"I swear by my very soul that from this day forward, I will obey all of Su Wanqing's commands. If I disobey or harbor any disloyalty..."

Ye An's voice was calm, but the black mist at his fingertips trembled slightly, transforming into three tiny runes that floated in front of the three people.

"Both body and spirit perished."
