Deep Pockets

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wang Yuyao was utterly stunned.

It wasn't Wang Jianqiang's strength that surprised her; in her heart, Wang Jianqiang had always been mysteriously powerful. What truly shocked her was Wang Jianqiang's audacity.

Ye Qingxue was the fourth prodigy of the outer sect of the Xuanqing Palace.

And he dared to make her a slave!

Isn't this equivalent to slapping the Xuanqing Palace in the face?

Once this matter is exposed, the Xuanqing Palace would likely be relentless in their pursuit of him.

At that time, even the Hehuan Sect might not be able to protect him, nor would they wage war against the Xuanqing Palace for his sake.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Focus on recovering."

Wang Jianqiang could guess what was on her mind and tossed her some Dihuang Pills, indifferent to her concerns.

He had his reasons for choosing to enslave Ye Qingxue.

With his soul control, he was confident that Ye Qingxue wouldn't reveal this matter.

After all, if he were to die, Ye Qingxue would perish with him.

Moreover, cultivating immortality is inherently about defying the heavens. If one fears this and that, why pursue immortality at all?

Seeing Wang Jianqiang's expression, Wang Yuyao said no more.

She swallowed a Dihuang Pill and began to heal her injuries.

Once she regained consciousness, her recovery accelerated.

In just five days, her injuries were completely healed.

During this period, Wang Jianqiang had been cultivating within the Qianyuan Spirit Formation.

His cultivation was already nearing the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and on the day Wang Yuyao recovered, he reached the Qi Refining perfection stage.

After her recovery, Wang Yuyao immediately went into seclusion.

She swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill and began to compress her spiritual energy.

Unfortunately, her talent was only average.

In the end, she failed to break through to the First Transformation stage.

"Breaking through is not something to rush. Take it easy for now."

...

Half an hour later.

Wang Yuyao calmed her mind and swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill handed to her by Wang Jianqiang.

After several days of cultivation.

She finally succeeded in compressing her spiritual energy once, reaching the First Transformation stage.

"Did you break through?"

As soon as Wang Yuyao opened her eyes, she saw Wang Jianqiang beaming at her.

"Yes," she nodded.

The smile on Wang Jianqiang's face grew even wider.

"Such a good occasion deserves a proper celebration, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, his smile became increasingly mischievous.

...

After each compression of spiritual energy, although the energy becomes more refined, the total amount decreases.

What follows is a period of accumulation until the total amount of spiritual energy returns to its original state, at which point the next compression can occur.

Wang Yuyao was currently in the accumulation phase of the First Transformation stage.

Wang Jianqiang gifted her the Qianyuan Spirit Formation and provided her with a large quantity of Perfect Yunxia Pills.

With ample resources, her cultivation was advancing at an astonishing speed.

Ye Qingxue witnessed Wang Yuyao's entire breakthrough process.

Wang Jianqiang's generosity made her envious.

She was an ambitious cultivator.

She longed for rapid advancement in her cultivation.

She wanted to progress too.

One day.

She finally couldn't resist and approached Wang Jianqiang.

"M-Master, how can I be like her?"

She stammered, looking at Wang Jianqiang.

Speaking so humbly to someone felt very unnatural for her.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

"That depends on your determination."

"Rest assured, Master, I will be loyal and devoted to you from now on," she vowed, gritting her teeth.

"Mm." Wang Jianqiang nodded, still gazing at her.

Ye Qingxue bit her lip and moved closer to Wang Jianqiang.

...

"This Foundation Establishment Pill is for you."

Wang Jianqiang flipped his palm, producing a pill and casually tossed it to her.

"Thank you, Master."

Ye Qingxue immediately reached out to catch it, the lingering traces of reluctance in her eyes instantly clearing up.

Unlike Lin Xian'er and Xiao Wuya, who possess strong backgrounds and can obtain Foundation Establishment Pills relatively easily, she has no such advantage.

Otherwise, why would she forsake her dignity to curry favor with Wang Jianqiang?

In fact, her cultivation had long been sufficient; the reason she remained at the first transformation stage was due to the lack of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Establishment Pill she obtained during the outer sect competition had long been refined, yet she was still half a step away from the second transformation stage.

Now, with this Foundation Establishment Pill, she could definitely break through to the second transformation stage.

Thinking of this, she eagerly swallowed the pill in her hand.

Seeing Ye Qingxue enter a cultivation state, Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills were useless to him.

Rather than keeping them, he might as well use them to strengthen his team.

Ye Qingxue had already been marked with a soul imprint by him, her life and death at his whim.

There was no need to worry about her betraying him.

If he could elevate her to the Foundation Establishment stage in one go.

Then he would have a Foundation Establishment stage fighter at his disposal.

His goal this time was to acquire the materials needed to craft Foundation Establishment Pills.

And these materials could only be found at the bottom of the cold pool.

By then, he would inevitably intersect with the top talents of the outer sects.

These individuals were already at the third transformation stage before entering the secret realm and would likely choose to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage after entering.

If it were merely Qi Refining stage cultivators, he would not fear anyone.

But what about those at the Foundation Establishment stage?

Although only a few among them would successfully establish a foundation, it would still cause him to lose the initiative.

He disliked handing over control to others.

Hence, he thought of recruiting Ye Qingxue and aiding Wang Yuyao and Ye Qingxue in breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

After the previous battles, he had accumulated twenty-one Foundation Establishment Pills.

After giving one to Wang Yuyao and another to Ye Qingxue, he still had nineteen left.

Such a quantity should be sufficient for the two to establish their foundations.

Even if it wasn't enough, he could always seize more.

...

Five days later.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy spread out.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he looked up at Ye Qingxue.

"Did you break through?"

Ye Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, a hint of joy flashing across her face.

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's inquiry, she nodded.

"That's excellent."

Wang Jianqiang laughed, "At times like these, we should celebrate."

Ye Qingxue instinctively nodded.

Huh?

...

"This is the Cloud Mist Pill."

Wang Jianqiang handed Ye Qingxue several bottles of pills.

The second transformation stage was still within the Qi Refining realm, and the effects of the perfect Cloud Mist Pill were equally powerful.

He then pointed to where Wang Yuyao was.

"Don't consume them directly. There's an auxiliary cultivation formation there; you two can cultivate inside."

Ye Qingxue noticed the unusual nature of the pills as soon as she received them.

Though they were Cloud Mist Pills, the ones Wang Jianqiang gave her were noticeably more potent than ordinary Cloud Mist Pills.

Upon entering the formation, she was even more astonished.

The formation was suffused with the medicinal energy of the Yunxia Pill.

But what surprised her was that this medicinal energy was extraordinarily potent.

It was simply unprecedented.

What shocked her even more was that this energy contained not even the slightest trace of pill toxins!

In such an environment, the speed of cultivation was already astonishingly fast.

And with no need to worry about the influence of pill toxins.

It was hard to imagine just how rapid cultivation here could be.

Thinking of this.

She cast a glance of envy at Wang Yuyao.

This woman’s natural talent was average, yet she had managed to reach the peak of the Qi Refining stage so quickly—surely it was all thanks to Wang Jianqiang’s assistance?

At this moment, she suddenly felt regret for not having met Wang Jianqiang earlier.

Half a month later.

Wang Yuyao completed her accumulation for the First Transformation stage.

After consuming four Foundation Establishment Pills, she successfully broke through to the Second Transformation stage.

The very next day after Wang Yuyao’s breakthrough, Ye Qingxue also completed her accumulation for the Second Transformation stage.

Her talent was clearly far superior to Wang Yuyao’s.

She only needed two Foundation Establishment Pills to reach the Third Transformation stage.

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
