Chen Jiuyang returned to the Chen family in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
The head of the Chen family said to Chen Jiuyang, "Go and cultivate properly."
"Mm." Chen Jiuyang entered the cultivation room and began to circulate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
The Earth Realm was divided into six layers.
Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and soul.
Chen Jiuyang had just entered the Great Grandmaster realm of the Earth Realm, stepping into the first layer, the Kidney Divine Treasury.
Kidneys belonged to water, and water was the source of life.
After entering the Kidney Divine Treasury, Chen Jiuyang could now go without sleep for more than ten days and remain energetic.
The divine soul nourished the Kidney Divine Treasury, and the Kidney Divine Treasury fed back to the entire body, making Chen Jiuyang's vital energy and true qi more obedient and manageable, allowing him to control his true qi as he wished, something a Profound Realm Grandmaster could not achieve.
Only when the Kidney Divine Treasury was developed to its limit could his divine soul pass through the Kidney Divine Treasury to the Lung Divine Treasury.
This process might take three to five days, or it might take three to five years; it was a matter of patience and gradual effort.
Upon reaching the Earth Realm, the medicinal ingredients used in the Profound Realm by Chen Jiuyang had almost no effect. To enhance his vital energy, divine soul, and to prevent the Kidney Divine Treasury from being depleted, he could only consume elixirs, or even precious materials.
Entering the Earth Realm, a martial artist's cultivation technique became extremely important. The divine soul, the foundation of the physical body's vital energy, even a slight difference could lead to a significant disadvantage in combat power compared to others.
Chen Jiuyang opened his eyes with a frown, "I just entered the Earth Realm, and I've already reached the extreme realm?"
While cultivating earlier, Chen Jiuyang had used his divine soul to examine himself and found that his limbs and five divine treasuries were locked by phantom golden chains. If he wanted to break through his cultivation in the Earth Realm, it would be more difficult than for ordinary people.
This thing was not even in the Immortal Doctor's inheritance, but fortunately, he had cultivated the Emperor Yu Divine Body Art. The phantom golden chains seemed to be constantly corroded by the Three-Turn Pure Yang True Blood, showing signs of loosening.
Chen Jiuyang pondered for a long time. This was perhaps due to the top-tier cultivation technique, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
"Developing divine treasuries through such a slow process consumes an exorbitant amount of resources. Without a major family, it's impossible to support an Earth Realm Great Grandmaster."
Chen Jiuyang had only cultivated for a short time, and the three bottles of Three-Turn Pure Yang Pills he had prepared earlier were already consumed.
If he continued to cultivate, not only would his cultivation not progress, but his body would also be depleted, leading to a decline in combat power.
"Still poor..."
A sharp glint flashed in Chen Jiuyang's eyes.
However, he was not too anxious. Having obtained the inheritance of the Tribulation Tribulator, and possessing the Yan Sheng Saber and Yan Sheng Method, he could devour the opponent's destiny by killing them, supplementing his own divine soul and destiny.
As long as the problem of vital energy, elixirs, or precious materials was solved, Chen Jiuyang's cultivation could also advance by leaps and bounds.
Emerging from the cultivation room, the head of the Chen family was seated at the entrance. He had been sensing the fluctuations of Chen Jiuyang's cultivation after entering the Earth Realm and found that Chen Jiuyang had interrupted his cultivation due to resource issues.
The head of the Chen family told Chen Jiuyang, "Jiuyang, I have already sent someone back to open the second level of our Chen family's treasure vault."
"Our Chen family's first-level treasure vault contains ordinary medicinal ingredients, usable by ordinary Profound Realm and Earth Realm Grandmasters."
"But you are a peerless genius with profound foundations, and you have entered the extreme realm. Ordinary medicinal ingredients not only won't help you but will also drag you down and harm you."
"Our Chen family's second-level treasure vault is filled with precious materials. Although the quantity is not large, it is enough to support your cultivation for some time and help you advance several minor realms."
The Chen family was willing to deplete their resources to cultivate Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, Family Head. However, I cannot continuously consume the Chen family's resources. We need to increase income and reduce expenditure."
"I know some alchemy techniques. I can refine higher-year medicinal ingredients and precious materials into elixirs. This is reducing expenditure."
"As for increasing income, I've been thinking. I once obtained a formula called Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill. This elixir is currently selling very well in Fengcheng. I've thought about it for a long time and plan to have my master's family bring a batch of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills to the Chen family in Suzhou and Hangzhou for sale, to see how it goes."
The head of the Chen family's eyes lit up, "Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill? I've heard of this elixir. Both Profound Realm and Earth Realm martial artists can take it, but only Taoism masters the formula. We major sects of Mount Shu usually rely on Qingcheng Mountain of Taoism to obtain some."
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "The Taoist formula is probably not as complete as mine. Mine can achieve mass production and has excellent effects."
The head of the Chen family also became a little impatient and pondered, "What are the production costs and profits?"
Chen Jiuyang said, "For mass production, one pill costs two hundred thousand, and the market price is one million. I sell them in Fengcheng for six hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand per pill."
"You rascal," the head of the Chen family chuckled and pointed at Chen Jiuyang, "You're trying to compete with Taoism for business."
"It's a market economy. Everyone knows who to buy from if their goods are better and their prices are lower."
The head of the Chen family pondered for a moment, "You are following the path of enfeoffment. This Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill is your asset and cannot be included in the Chen family's assets. Jiuyang, have your people in Fengcheng bring a batch of elixirs to Suzhou and Hangzhou. I will use the Chen family's connections to help you explore the market and establish one."
"Thank you, Family Head!" Chen Jiuyang said, "If any descendants of our Mount Shu Chen family want to take the Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill, they can purchase it for four hundred thousand. This price is not too high or too low, mainly to prevent Chen family descendants from reselling it and causing further market chaos."
The head of the Chen family clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Excellent."
The head of the Chen family went to handle this matter for Chen Jiuyang.
Not long after, Chen Jiuyang received a call from Yun Jingbai.
On the other end of the phone was Yun Jingbai's complaining voice, "Chen Jiuyang, Young Master Chen, you finally answered the phone. I've called you hundreds of times in the past half month, and you haven't answered any of them."
Chen Jiuyang immediately realized that Yun Jingbai had come to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a concert, and he had said he would attend. He chuckled sheepishly and replied,
"Jingbai, I've been in seclusion and cultivation during this period, and I've made some breakthroughs. I only picked up my phone today."
"Monster... your cultivation has broken through again? Alright, I can forgive you for this matter." Yun Jingbai said, "I've encountered some trouble in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"Doctor Chen, Young Master Chen, this humble girl needs your help."
"Oh?" Chen Jiuyang asked, "What kind of trouble can a big star like you encounter?"
"It's not convenient to say over the phone. Come to the Hilton Hotel to find me," Yun Jingbai said.
After saying that, she hung up. Chen Jiuyang frowned. It seemed Yun Jingbai had indeed encountered significant trouble, and the situation was not good.
Chen Jiuyang hadn't paid attention to Yun Jingbai's affairs recently.
He drove directly to the Hilton Hotel where Yun Jingbai was staying.
Upon arriving at the Hilton Hotel, he found many paparazzi and reporters lurking downstairs.
