25: I really have a plan! Three hundred points in two days!

"Husband?"

Ye Xinlian and the other two were startled when Ye An suddenly appeared.

After all, he had just rushed into the room in a hurry, and now he was out so quickly.

Ye An waved his hand, signaling the three to sit down. He also sat opposite them and said,

"I heard everything you just said!"

"If this material collection is really linked to benefits!"

"Which branch Family would be willing to lend out these materials?"

"Although everyone comes from the same source and are all branch Families of the Ye Family!"

"But from the moment we separated, there has actually been a competitive relationship!"

"According to what you said, after the border defenses are rebuilt this time, the level of support will be linked to future benefits!"

"How could the other branch Families possibly help us!"

"I suspect that the other branch Families are probably already holding back, preparing to contribute more materials, so that they can become the leaders among the branch Families in the future!"

The three women all nodded upon hearing this, clearly agreeing with Ye An's opinion.

Ye Yinger said,

"Actually, when they said this material donation was linked to future benefits, I already felt something was wrong!"

"If the border is rebuilt and the border becomes stable, so many branch Families will instead have conflicts due to the distribution of benefits!"

"I think the Main Family also intends to select a Family from among us branch Families that can represent all branch Families!"

Ye An nodded and said,

"Indeed, I'm actually very curious!"

"The Ye Family itself bears the responsibility of guarding Ye Family Pass, and the loss of young men in the Family has always been great!"

"But why do they still send Family members out to form these individual branch Families?"

Ye Xinlian said,

"I know about this!"

"Ultimately, it's due to the scarcity of materials at Ye Family Pass!"

"And the Ye Family's own foundation is not strong enough!"

"The Ye Family Pass defense line is too long. If no one is stationed there, once the Yao Beasts cause chaos, it would obviously be too late to rush over temporarily!"

"And the Ye Family's male members already suffer heavy losses due to guarding the border!"

"Once they are sent out, it's basically impossible to have extra people for rotation!"

"So once they are sent out, it basically means they are rooted in that area!"

"Out of मजबूरी, they implemented the strategy of integrating branch Families into the local areas!"

Ye An suddenly understood and said,

"This method is actually just a temporary solution!"

"If the Yao Beast chaos continues, the branch Families will also find it difficult to sustain themselves!"

"But once the border is rebuilt and the Yao Beast chaos is resolved, the numerous branch Families will instead cause conflicts!"

"It seems the Main Family also wants to consolidate the branch Families this time, making this border area into one super-large branch Family, which can also avoid internal conflicts!"

Ye Tonger nodded.

"My husband's analysis makes sense; actually, everyone is a Ye Family member!"

"If the Main Family had ample resources, I don't think they would have been forced to separate Family members to establish branch Families!"

"But saying all this is useless. My sister and I are temporarily unable to refine third-grade Medicinal Pills, Talismans, or Formations!"

"Husband, do you have any good ideas?"

Ye Yinger and Ye Xinlian both looked at Ye An upon hearing this!

Ye An smiled upon hearing this and said,

"I do have a solution, it's just..."

"Just what?"

The three women looked at him in confusion.

Ye An said,

"It's just that Ying Er and Tonger might have to work a bit harder!"

"Work harder?"

The two women were stunned. Ye Yinger said,

"If my husband has a solution, please speak directly!"

"As long as it can allow our branch Family to take the lead among the branch Families, no matter how hard or tiring, we can overcome it!"

"That's right, we can definitely do it!"

Ye Tonger said.

Ye An smiled at this and said,

"Alright then!"

"I need you two to..."

Ye An then leaned in front of the three women and explained his method.

Upon hearing it, the three women's faces instantly flushed.

Especially Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger!

Ye Yinger said indignantly,

"Husband, we're talking about serious matters, how can you still..."

"That's right, husband, and in front of Sister Xin Lian, you're too..."

Ye An, however, said with a serious expression,

"What I'm saying *is* a serious matter!"

"My method is like this, and I only need two days!"

"If you can think of a better solution, that's fine, but if not, why aren't you willing to try?"

The three women saw that Ye An didn't seem to be joking, and indeed, as he explained, results could be achieved in just two days.

It might actually be worth a try.

After all, in two days, it would be basically impossible for them to Breakthrough from second-grade to third-grade on their own.

Ye Xinlian also persuaded,

"My two sisters, why don't you give it a try!"

"I think my husband must have his reasons for saying this!"

"After all, can you believe now that the man you married was a seventy-year-old old man?"

"And this way, you can also get pregnant earlier, right?"

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger couldn't help but exchange glances upon hearing this.

Finally, they nodded with flushed faces.

Deciding to give it a try!

...So, for the next two days, Ye An, Ye Yinger, and Ye Tonger did not leave the courtyard.

The shop was directly left to the maids to manage.

No matter who came to ask, the unified answer was one sentence.

Not convenient to receive guests!

And as for what Ye An and the others were busy with during these two days!

Naturally, they were busy earning merit points.

Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger's favorability was stuck at 50%, unable to increase!

Ye An roughly guessed why.

Both of them inherently possessed a Middle-Grade Spiritual Root, so their ambition was naturally higher than Ye Xinlian's.

To raise the remaining 50% of favorability, merely conquering their bodies wouldn't be enough!

The most direct way was to conquer their hearts.

To make them admire and acknowledge him from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, finding a way to surpass them in theirGood at Talismans and Medicinal Pills.

Was undoubtedly the best method!

At the same time, if Ye An reached third-grade in Talismans and Medicinal Pills.

He could also incidentally solve the problem of this material collection.

So, quickly earning merit points became Ye An's most urgent task... Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

That evening, Ye An also took advantage of Ye Tonger and Ye Yinger's rest.

Secretly came to the courtyard!

Looking at the merit points he had accumulated, Ye An couldn't help but ponder.

"After all this hard work, I finally earned enough 300 merit points!"

"Adding the ten points left from last time, I now have 310 merit points!"

"I need to carefully consider what to do!"

Currently, there were two paths before Ye An.

First, directly consume 300 merit points to unlock one of Formation, Medicinal Pill, or Talismans to third-grade!

But the problem was, these 300 points could only be used to Cultivate one of them.

If he wanted to reach third-grade in all of them, he would need another 600 merit points.

Perhaps some would say, then just work harder for four more days?

Joking, Ye An was also human, not livestock!

Besides, even if he could endure it, Ye Yinger and her sister wouldn't be able to handle it!

Even if he gave them a few days of rest, trying to get it done within two weeks, although it would be in time.

But the problem was, this would cost a full 900 merit points.

Ye An felt a pang of pain thinking about this; these were all points he had diligently cultivated, and he really didn't want to squander them like that.

And the second method was to first focus on strength.

Strive to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible.

This way, he could Cultivate the second layer of the Spirit Condensation Sutra!

Raising the Spirit Condensation Sutra to the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm would greatly reduce the merit points consumption for third-grade Medicinal Pills, Formations, and Talismans.

This was undoubtedly the most cost-effective option.

He could even boost his own strength!

No matter how he looked at it, this was the best choice!

However, this choice also had a problem.

That was, he didn't know how long it would take to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Realm!

After much deliberation, Ye An finally decided.

To first enhance his own strength!

To gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

At least it was better than being livestock!

If he succeeded, he could save a lot of merit points!

Thinking this, Ye An immediately activated the Qi Gathering Art.

Preparing to first make a push for strength!
