Chen Jiuyang did not know the overall strength of the True Demon Cult, but the last time Qiu Yihan had a birthday, Qiu Yihan had given Chen Jiuyang a show of force.
Two extremely terrifying old figures were willing to be Qiu Yihan's servants.
Qiu Yihan had now warned Chen Jiuyang again, and Chen Jiuyang truly couldn't fathom what Qiu Yihan was thinking.
Did she want him to break off all relationships with other women, or was she planning something else?
Granny Hui said, "Young Master Chen, taking concubines before marriage is acceptable to the Saintess, but if you want a legitimate wife, then it's not allowed. After all, men need concubines to satisfy their physiological needs, and the Saintess can understand that."
Chen Jiuyang frowned slightly. So, Qiu Yihan was displeased that the status of his current women was not high enough, and they could only be his concubines?
Chen Jiuyang said, "I understand."
Qiu Yihan's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
Qiu Yihan said, "You go cultivate. I'll go see uncle and aunt myself."
"..." Chen Jiuyang.
He was worried about letting Qiu Yihan go to see his parents like this. What if the demoness decided to act if they disagreed?
Granny Hui said, "Young Master Chen, please rest assured. Since the Saintess has decided to bring you to the Holy Cult to show yourself, she will naturally not harm those close to you."
Chen Jiuyang secretly thought, did this Granny Hui have mind-reading abilities? Whatever he was thinking, this person would come out and explain it to him.
Chen Jiuyang was driven to cultivate. The Nine Yin Devouring Yang Formation had now been broken, and there were plenty of cultivation resources within the Feng Han Marquisate. Time was also pressing, and he indeed needed to seize the opportunity to cultivate.
Currently, Granny Zeng of the Chen family was present, and her strength was not weak. If Qiu Yihan truly caused trouble, Granny Zeng would not stand idly by.
Chen Jiuyang entered the medicinal bath in the training room and began to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. His divine soul was currently strong enough, and when cultivating in the Profound Realm, it was not always necessary to nourish the divine soul to improve his cultivation.
True qi gradually gathered and condensed, assisting Chen Jiuyang in breaking through the fifth acupoint within his body.
Chen Jiuyang possessed pure Yang true qi, but it was accumulated through his Pure Yang physique and abundant resources. This also meant that although his strength was great, breaking through his cultivation required even more resources.
As Chen Jiuyang's skin turned red like a lobster and white smoke emanated from his body, he slowly opened his eyes: "Finally broke through the fifth acupoint and entered the middle stage of the Profound Realm."
But he immediately frowned: "However, the consumption of resources for this is too much."
The resources and medicinal herbs consumed to open the fifth acupoint this time were equivalent to the total resources for the first to fourth acupoints. He could feel that his Pure Yang physique was like a bottomless pit, constantly needing to absorb the power of medicinal herbs. He estimated that it would probably take tens of thousands of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills to open the sixth acupoint.
The cost of one Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill was two hundred thousand. To break through to the sixth acupoint, the cost alone would be two to three hundred million. To break through to the twelfth major acupoint, who knew how many resources and medicinal herbs would be consumed.
Fortunately, he had the Feng Han Marquisate and the Yao family as his backing. Otherwise, just the medicinal resources alone would be enough to hinder his cultivation speed, and he had to break through to the Earth Realm before December to participate in the National Martial Rankings competition properly.
Perhaps simply breaking through to the Earth Realm would not be enough. The first level of the Earth Realm was probably just the basic requirement for the National Martial Rankings competition. There might be many peak Grandmasters who had reached the sixth level of the Earth Realm.
Chen Jiuyang's gaze shifted: "I'll be going to the Chen family in Shu Mountain in a few days. I can see if the Chen family in Shu Mountain has any better medicinal resources then."
"And then there's the True Demon Cult. I'll see if I can get some benefits."
Ordinary medicinal herbs did not have enough potency. Even if refined into pills, their effects were sufficient for ordinary people, but for his Pure Yang physique, they might not be enough. Moreover, Chen Jiuyang pursued rapid cultivation advancement.
Naturally, he needed better treasures.
Chen Jiuyang notified people to deliver a large number of Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills and continued to cultivate. It wasn't until midnight that he broke through the sixth acupoint. When Chen Jiuyang opened his eyes, he found the Feng Han Marquis standing by the medicinal bath with a pained expression, saying with a wry smile, "My good disciple, how can you consume so many resources while cultivating in the Profound Realm?"
"There were only over twenty thousand Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills in stock, and you used up all the medicinal herbs in the marquisate and ten thousand Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills in one go."
Chen Jiuyang had expected this, but he didn't expect the consumption to be so high. "Master, from now on, we will produce Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pills at full capacity within the marquisate. I need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible to participate in the National Martial Rankings competition."
The Feng Han Marquis said, "The Yao family went out to sell their real estate today, but the medicinal materials were blocked by the Six Doors. I have already asked the Yao family to commission those Grandmasters who have been enfeoffed to purchase medicinal materials in large quantities through their channels. This way, even if Xi Bu Tui cannot stop them."
A Grandmaster with a marquis title would definitely have channels for purchasing medicinal materials. Dozens of Grandmasters with marquis titles would be more than enough to support the Feng Han Marquisate's alchemy medicinal materials.
Chen Jiuyang: "Thank you, Master."
The Feng Han Marquis replied, "If it weren't for the pill formula you provided, it would truly be troublesome. Now, it's just a matter of me running a few more errands."
After cultivating, Chen Jiuyang prepared to return to his room to sleep, only to find that his parents were still awake.
Chen Jiuyang said, "Mom and Dad, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Chen Jianmin asked, "Jiuyang, who exactly are you going to marry as your wife?"
"..." Chen Jiuyang: "Dad, why do you ask?"
Chen Jianmin said, "That young girl surnamed Qiu came to our door today and said she was pregnant with your child."
Chen Jiuyang was instantly stunned. He hadn't even held Qiu Yihan's hand, and this demoness actually claimed she was pregnant with his child.
So, Qiu Yihan's visit today was to say this in front of his parents.
Zhang Xiuzhen said, "That young girl surnamed Qiu is quite nice. Jiuyang, what are your thoughts? Give Mom and Dad a clear answer."
Chen Jiuyang was somewhat speechless. Qiu Yihan, this demoness, had truly excellent acting skills. Even middle-aged people like his parents were fooled after meeting her only once.
Chen Jiuyang pondered, "Mom and Dad, I have my own arrangements for this matter. You don't need to worry too much."
Chen Jianmin said, "That girl Zi Xuan and her family are very good to you. You mustn't let down such a good girl."
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his forehead. It seemed Qiu Yihan had also poisoned his parents' minds. "I know, Mom and Dad, please don't worry."
After saying that, Chen Jiuyang went to sleep. Fortunately, Lin Yuexian did not come to the house today, otherwise, it would have truly descended into chaos and been difficult to resolve.
The next day, the Feng Han Marquisate became lively. Batches of medicinal materials were delivered. Chen Jiuyang picked out the medicinal herbs with the best year and potency for the medicinal bath, and the rest were used for alchemy.
"Jiuyang, are you free today? Let's brothers have a meal together." Hu Qijie called.
