73: invest

Yan Yu knew that as long as she took the pill,

she would definitely be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

However, this also meant that she had implicitly agreed to Chen Tianming's proposal.

Nevertheless, after a moment of hesitation,

and considering the consequences of failing at Xiao Yu's hands,

Yan Yu finally gritted her teeth and put the pill into her mouth…

Instantly!

With a boom!

The sound of boiling blood energy resounded within her body!

The next moment, she felt a certain barrier within her body suddenly break through after her blood energy reached its peak!

Her eyes narrowed!

Her blood energy, which was already condensed to its extreme,

had broken through to a new level!

The 'Grandmaster' realm had trapped her for too long.

Now, with such an easy breakthrough,

Yan Yu even felt a sense of unreality.

She was momentarily lost in thought,

even forgetting to regulate the blood energy within her body.

The new blood energy surged wildly,

causing some damage to her meridians.

Feeling the pain in her body,

Yan Yu finally snapped out of her dazed state.

She let out a long breath,

and began to regulate the blood energy within her body.

A moment later,

Yan Yu's cultivation finally stabilized.

Her gaze then shifted to the seven remaining pills in the bottle.

“There are still seven left…” Yan Yu first frowned, then couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile.

“I never thought that one day I would be troubled by having too many great pills and not knowing how to use them…”

After some thought, Yan Yu took out another pill.

It would still be difficult for an early-stage Grandmaster to defeat Xiao Yu.

Even if her previous accumulation was profound,

she was now only just entering the Grandmaster realm.

“Only by advancing to the middle stage can I have a chance!”

She gritted her teeth,

and swallowed another great pill!

At the same time, her heart was bleeding!

Forcibly breaking through by consuming pills like this would inevitably lead to an unstable foundation!

She wouldn't be able to achieve the combat power of a normal mid-stage Grandmaster.

This was a minor issue; after all, she could adjust it later by stabilizing her realm and spending some time.

What pained her the most was that

continuously taking great pills like this

was a huge waste of their medicinal power!

“There probably aren't many of these pills even in the Chen Family… All things considered, Chen Tianming really went all out for this body of mine!” Yan Yu's heart was complex. It was rumored that Chen Tianming was very good to his women, and it truly wasn't an exaggeration.

One pill was worth at least several billion in the black market.

Just these two pills she had swallowed

had already cost her ten billion!

Let alone her small Qinglong Gang,

even the Chen Family couldn't withstand such extravagance!

Eight pills combined

would be over a hundred billion!

If placed in an auction house, and if they were lucky enough to encounter a martial artist eager to break through, it might even be possible to sell them for a trillion.

This amount of money would be enough to buy out the Four Great Families, and they would still have to pay extra!

At this moment, Yan Yu finally truly realized the concept of the price Chen Tianming had offered!

It was mainly because Chen Tianming's casual manner when throwing the pills over was too deceptive.

It seemed as if these pills meant nothing to him,

making her subconsciously feel that they weren't a big deal.

She never expected that when seriously calculated,

his investment was actually so terrifying!

Even Yan Yu, at this moment, felt her heart tremble!

“For me… is it worth it?”

If Chen Tianming took this money to find women,

presumably ninety percent of the women in this world would not refuse.

But he still chose to bet such a large sum on her!

At this moment,

she suddenly thought of the legendary King Zhou of Shang!

“Lighting beacon fires for the lords, just to win a beauty's smile…”

“Although Chen Tianming is promiscuous, at least he is open and honest…”

Yan Yu's impression of Chen Tianming improved another notch.

In the darkness,

Yan Yu got up and sat on the chair.

After a long silence,

she suddenly moved her lips slightly,

and sent out a sound transmission.

Soon,

the door to the room opened,

and six women walked in.

These were Yan Yu's most loyal subordinates,

and also the strongest individuals in the Qinglong Gang.

Yan Yu had saved all of their lives.

She extended her hand and flicked the remaining pills out,

landing them in their hands.

“Eat them.”

The women didn't even ask why.

Without hesitation,

they swallowed them directly.

A moment later,

expressions of shock simultaneously appeared on their faces!

They quickly sat cross-legged on the ground,

and began to absorb the medicinal power!

After about fifteen minutes,

as the medicinal effects were fully absorbed,

the aura around each of them had risen by at least one level!

However, the women did not become arrogant because of this.

Instead, they all knelt on the ground, bowing their heads and saying in unison: “Thank you, Gang Leader, for bestowing the medicine!”

“From now on, we will certainly lay down our lives for the Gang Leader!”

Yan Yu waved her hand.

“Rise.”

She didn't need to hear such nonsense.

If she didn't trust them,

she wouldn't have given them the great medicine.

In reality,

if the situation wasn't so urgent,

she would have preferred to spend several years thoroughly refining the medicinal power

for her own cultivation.

Little did she know,

if Chen Tianming knew of her thoughts, he would surely laugh out loud.

His women treated these pills like candy.

Anyway, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of excellent quality, so there's no need to worry about pill toxins.

Want to level up?

Just pop a pill and you're done!

Unstable realm?

Chen Tianming, who is in the Huajin stage, personally helps stabilize their realms.

It can be said that even the slowest of Chen Tianming's women can break through a small realm in two or three days in the early stages.

Although their combat power would definitely be a bit weaker,

once their level goes up and they have absolute numerical suppression, who would bother fighting with skill?

One slap would kill them instantly!

All combat techniques and cultivation methods would be useless!

It's like an AD facing an assassin.

I'm geared up, one combo and they're dead, what's there to say?

However, Yan Yu's several deathsworn subordinates didn't know any of this.

Their gratitude towards Yan Yu only deepened!

“The Gang Leader even gave us such precious great medicine. We don't know what heavy price she paid, so we must not disappoint the Gang Leader's expectations!”

They exchanged glances,

and secretly made up their minds!

Their eyes became firm!

Just at this moment,

a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

After the women in the room bowed to Yan Yu,

their figures disappeared into the darkness.

Yan Yu's voice slowly rang out: “Enter!”

Click.

The person who entered was still the same subordinate from last time.

This time, he had learned his lesson.

No matter what happened,

he had to knock first…

“What is it?”

The subordinate's face was solemn.

“Gang Leader, Xiao Yu's people have arrived!”

So they finally came…

Yan Yu let out a long breath.

She nodded, then looked up again, her eyes now firm and cold: “Let's go!”

The subordinate's heart swelled with emotion seeing his Gang Leader's current appearance!

The cold and alluring Gang Leader was back!

And,

he wondered if it was his imagination,

but he felt even more pressure around the Gang Leader today than usual!

Thinking of this,

he paused slightly,

and a thought involuntarily flashed through his mind.

— The Gang Leader broke through?!
