31: After a month of hard work, I reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!

After Ye An started inscribing Tier-3 Talismans, his name completely spread throughout the branch family.

Especially when many people heard that he was the 70-year-old man no one had thought highly of back then.

This immediately caused a group of people to regret it immensely.

After all, how could they have imagined that Ye An, who everyone had despised back then, would now not only have successively married three wives, all of whom were pregnant, but also be able to inscribe Tier-3 Talismans?

If they had known this earlier, they probably would have fought tooth and nail to try and snatch him up.

It was just that it was clearly too late to say such things now.

Amidst the regrets of countless branch family women and the envy of Husband who lives with wifes familys, Ye An began his arduous month.

After all, the material requisition order had no upper limit.

So, naturally, the more prepared, the better.

And the Tier-3 materials prepared this time would directly determine who would take the lead after the branch families merged in the future.

It could be said that Ye An's current busyness was not only for the Ye Family branch he belonged to, but also for himself.

After all, with his current status in the branch family, once he successfully merged with other branch families in the future and Ye Quan took power, the benefits to him would naturally be self-evident!

Thus, for the next month.

Ye An basically spent all his time in the shop.

Ye Quan did indeed send two assistants to help him, so he could focus on inscribing Talismans.

However, Ye An knew more than just Talismans; he also knew Formations and Medicinal Pills.

So, he naturally couldn't just inscribe Talismans.

Especially since he was clearly more interested in Medicinal Pills.

Firstly, Medicinal Pills could directly increase strength, unlike Talismans and Formations, which were purely external things.

Secondly, with how busy he was now, plus his three wives successively getting pregnant, he knew very well that for the next three months, he would be in a situation where he couldn't earn any merit points!

If he was lucky, after enduring this busy month, he could try to have Ye Quan arrange two more wives for him.

If he couldn't get married, then for the next three months, he would only be able to rely on Medicinal Pills.

So, Ye An also focused on Alchemy.

At his current speed, he could inscribe about ten Tier-3 Talismans a day; any more and his Mental Energy would be too exhausted!

So, he first took ten days to inscribe fifty Tier-3 Talismans, and then fifty Tier 3 Formations!

For the remaining twenty days, he fully devoted himself to the refining of Medicinal Pills.

Because Ye An's Mental Energy had already reached the Peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

Therefore, he was much faster than others at making Tier 3 Formations, Talismans, and even Alchemy!

One must know that when Ye Dong was making a fuss, their branch family could only inscribe thirty pieces a month, which naturally couldn't compare to Ye An's output!

And after Ye An put all his energy into refining Tier-3 Medicinal Pills.

Sure enough, in twenty days, he actually refined a total of 180 Tier-3 Medicinal Pills.

This was mainly because the output of Medicinal Pills was not like Talismans and Formations, where one was just one!

Sometimes, when refining Medicinal Pills, one furnace could produce several.

So, in twenty days, the output of Tier-3 Medicinal Pills was naturally more than that of Talismans and Formations.

What others didn't know was that among these 180 Medicinal Pills.

30 of them were prepared by Ye An for himself!

After all, he still had two months ahead where he would face the predicament of not earning merit points.

Naturally, he needed to prepare more Medicinal Pills for his Cultivation.

Fortunately, since the Medicinal Pills were refined by him, no one would know if Ye An didn't say anything.

Thus, after one month, Ye An submitted 50 sets each of Tier-3 Talismans and Formations, and a total of 150 Tier-3 Medicinal Pills!

When Ye Quan saw this exaggerated quantity, she couldn't stop smiling.

She really hadn't expected that Ye An could produce so many things in just one month.

Meanwhile, in another branch family.

When Ye Dong learned that Ye Quan had submitted so many items, he was also stunned.

"How could this be?"

"Ye Yinger and Ye Tonger are clearly Tier-2 Talismaster and Alchemist, respectively. Where did Ye Quan get so many Tier-3 materials from?"

"Young Master, it is said that they were all refined by a Husband who lives with wifes family named Ye An!"

"Now, the entire branch family, and even some people from the Main Family, know about this Ye An!"

His subordinate said.

"Ye An? It's that Ye An again!"

Ye Dong's face immediately flushed with anger, veins bulging.

But he was helpless, after all, these materials had already been submitted, what else could he do?

Moreover, he was someone who couldn't Cultivate, while Ye An could. If he really angered him, the consequences were not something he could bear!

His subordinate suddenly added.

"Young Master, the family head said not to provoke this Ye An again!"

"Now, the branch family where Ye Quan is has the most resources, and they are highly likely to take the lead when the branch families are reorganized in the future!"

"If you continue to ignore the advice, he won't be able to protect you then!"

"You!"

Ye Dong snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Whether they can live until then is still unknown!"

As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Ye Dong's eyes... After the materials were submitted, news quickly came that the Main Family had already begun to act.

In the courtyard, Ye Yinger said.

"I heard that Sister Xin Yan and Sister Jiang have already departed!"

"Besides them, our Ye Family has also dispatched nearly fifty Cultivators this time!"

"City Lord Jiang has also recruited nearly fifty Cultivators, making a total of almost a hundred people!"

"Really? Then this border reorganization should definitely be fine!"

Ye Xinlian said.

Ye Tonger, however, worried.

"Not necessarily. I heard that a very powerful Yao Beast has appeared on the Yao Beast side!"

"The previous riot in the village where my husband and his family lived was caused by this Yao Beast's Breakthrough!"

"The Main Family has already issued an order for all branch families to be on high alert and to send people to participate in the battle!"

"Haven't you noticed that the atmosphere in our branch family has become very tense?"

The three women chatted on the side.

Ye An, sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, listened with a chilling feeling in his heart.

The branch family entering a tense state meant that Ye Quan would no longer be able to arrange wives for him. Good heavens, his plan to marry two more wives to earn merit points was going to fall through!

Thinking of this, Ye An couldn't help but ponder.

"The situation is becoming increasingly unstable. Marrying a wife is hopeless, so I should seize the time to Cultivate!"

"After last time, I still have 310 merit points left unused, plus 30 Medicinal Pills!"

"Let's see what strength I can reach this time!"

"If the branch family really has to participate, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape! I shouldn't get myself involved then!"

Thinking this, Ye An no longer delayed and immediately began to circulate the Qi Gathering Art.

And soon, the System's voice indeed rang in his mind.

"Ding! This time, investing 50 merit points can directly increase one tier of strength!"

"Ding! According to the host's remaining merit points, investing 270 points can directly raise you to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm!"

"Please choose, Host!"

Listening to the System's introduction, Ye An was stunned, not expecting that after Breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm, even the upgrade options given by the System had changed!

"If I invest 270 points, I'll still have 40 points for emergencies!"

"Although I can start raising children after three months, I can also continue to earn merit points. With ten months of pregnancy, there are still seven months left, so there's no rush!"

"Then let's Break through first!"

Thinking this, Ye An didn't waste any words and immediately shouted.

"Invest 270 points!"

"Ding! This time, the host consumes 270 merit points and will directly advance to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm!"

"Reminder: This upgrade is expected to be completed in three days. Please wait patiently, Host!"

As the System's voice sounded, Ye An felt the power within his body indeed begin to slowly increase.

The speed of that increase was truly much faster than his own Cultivation!

However, as his strength increased internally, Ye An looked at his remaining 40 merit points and 30 Medicinal Pills, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas! The next two months will be difficult!"
