[Ding!]
[Detected that the current highest cultivation method in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital is an Earth Tier Middle-Grade Cultivation Method. The host has obtained the Earth-Tier High-Grade Cultivation Technique: "Vermilion Bird Li Fire True Scripture"!]
[Detected that the current highest Dou Technique in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital is an Earth Tier Middle-Grade Dou Skill. The host has obtained the Earth-Tier High-Grade Dou Technique: "Sky-Burning Finger"!]
"Ho... good news is coming one after another. Both the cultivation method and Dou Technique have been upgraded in this wave."
"It looks like Xiao Yan is back too."
"But System, how did you include Qing Lin in the judgment?"
Chen Yang had originally planned to take Xiao Yan and Qing Lin back to Stone Desert City once Xiao Yan returned to trigger the System mechanism, so his cultivation method could directly upgrade to Earth-Tier High-Grade.
But he didn't expect that Qing Lin could also trigger the System mechanism in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
[Ding! Detected that Qing Lin belongs to the host. Determined to meet the System's hidden mechanism, triggering 'Strongest in the Whole Map'!] The System's prompt sounded in Chen Yang's ear.
"I think you're just forcing a patch. You probably don't even know if the Cloud Mist Sect has Earth Rank techniques, do you?" Chen Yang rolled his eyes and said to the System.
This time, the System remained silent and did not reply to Chen Yang.
"Fine, since there's this hidden mechanism, it's not bad. If I take my people out to roam and get better unowned cultivation methods and Dou Techniques for them to practice, won't I get even better things!" Regardless of how the System's mechanism actually worked, Chen Yang was happy to see it.
After all, not everything was suitable for Xiao Yan, and Chen Yang didn't intend to give everything to him, just like those Purple Cloud Wings.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Qing Lin ran out of the room happily. Her Dou Qi intensity had clearly reached the level of a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner. A Nine-Star Dou Practitioner under fifteen—aside from a few exceptional prodigies on the Fighting Qi Continent, Qing Lin was already a Genius among geniuses.
"Successfully switched your cultivation? Congratulations, Qing Lin!" Chen Yang reached out and gave Qing Lin a head pat, looking at her with a smile.
"Hee hee, Qing Lin will be able to break through to Dou Master very soon!" Qing Lin squinted her eyes, enjoying Chen Yang's head pat, looking extremely happy.
"Just in time, Xiao Yan and Little Purple also brought back some snake-type magical beasts. If you use them, your cultivation speed will become even faster!" Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm!" Qing Lin nodded heavily, then suddenly wrinkled her cute nose, turned to look toward the kitchen, and said to Chen Yang, "Young Master, I'm going to help Sister Xiao Yi Xian cook!"
Clearly, the young girl had smelled the cooking aromas and knew that Xiao Yi Xian was preparing a meal.
A few days ago, Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei had both broken through to Dou Ling. Right now, Ya Fei was busy with the affairs of the Mittel Family. Chen Yang respected the hobbies and work of each of his women.
Ya Fei loved business. Now, because of Chen Yang's relationship, the Mittel Family's influence in the capital had greatly increased, to the point where even the Imperial Family didn't dare say much. Consequently, Teng Shan simply handed over power to Ya Fei, letting her go all out. After all, if the sky fell, there were several Dou Wangs, Dou Huangs, and even a Dou Zong to hold it up.
Under Ya Fei's management, the Mittel Family's business grew more prosperous. Even the Snake-People Tribe of the Tagar Desert had established trade with Mittel. Ya Fei even had plans to establish a Mittel Auction House in the Snake-People's sacred city.
Compared to Ya Fei's bustling activity, Xiao Yi Xian, besides her daily cultivation and cooking for Chen Yang, preferred watching Chen Yang refine medicine.
She herself possessed extremely rich pharmacological knowledge. Lately, while Chen Yang was refining second, third, and fourth-tier pills, he would slowly explain things to her. Although she couldn't refine pills yet, once she devoured the Netherworld Poison Flame, she would be qualified to become an Alchemist.
At that time, this newly acquired knowledge would be very useful.
Xiao Yi Xian had also thought about having Chen Yang open a Clinic for her near Mittel to treat patients daily, but there were very few people at the bottom level of society living in the Imperial Capital. Moreover, the community of Alchemists here was huge. Those who cultivated Dou Qi basically didn't suffer from minor illnesses, and for major illnesses or serious injuries, a single pill would easily fix it.
In a market where Alchemist resources were extremely abundant, Physicians basically had no place to show their skills, so she gave up on the idea after some thought.
Since she couldn't do her old job, she would follow Chen Yang to study pharmacology and Alchemy. Once she was capable of doing it herself in a while, she would come to the Imperial Capital to steal the business of those Alchemists!
...Chen Yang's gaze drifted as he thought about the lives of Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei during this period, silently reflecting on himself.
Coming from another world, he didn't want his women to become his appendages once they followed him, thereby losing their hobbies and jobs.
Thinking carefully, Chen Yang felt he was doing okay.
Xiao Yi Xian's dream was to become an Alchemist; he was in the process of helping her work toward that dream.
Ya Fei might like business, or she might not, but the Ya Fei he saw commanding the business world was particularly charming. Since she was willing to do it—whether out of interest or to be able to help him in the future—Chen Yang was willing to support her.
As for Qing Lin... what this girl feared most now was him saying she couldn't be his maid anymore. The young girl was single-mindedly set on being his maid for a lifetime. Perhaps in her view, being his maid was her greatest wish?
Currently, the three women by his side were maintaining their natures and working hard to develop in a better direction. Meanwhile, Yun Yun, far away on Yun Lan Mountain, was also cultivating hard. As for Yun Yun's ideal... it certainly wasn't just to expand the Cloud Mist Sect.
That woman wasn't the type to be content staying in one corner!
