The Immortal Cultivation World Is Too Dangerous: I Return to Earth as a Divine Sage

Chapter 28: Breaking Through a Realm by Watching a Dance?

“Mr. Ye.”

Not long after Ye Yang finished observing the conversation between Yao Lai and Zhao Qingzhi, a voice sounded in his ear.

It was Zhao Ling’er, who had just finished consuming the Bone-Strengthening Pill.

“No wonder a top-tier special physique is considered unparalleled in the cultivation world. Even on Earth, where spiritual energy is scarce, its effects are extraordinary,” Ye Yang thought. “In such a short time, she completely absorbed the power of the Bone-Strengthening Pill, gaining the maximum thousand pounds of strength it can provide, and she’s already mastered it perfectly.”

“But soon, I’ll also possess the characteristics of this top-tier special physique,” he continued to muse. “The strength of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record lies in its ability to share certain traits of one’s partner’s physique. Although it doesn’t share everything, the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record requires multiple special physiques. The combined benefits from multiple special physique traits will undoubtedly far surpass those of a single top-tier special physique.”

After scanning Zhao Ling’er’s current condition with his divine sense, Ye Yang pondered silently.

“Mr. Ye, I’ve finished taking the Bone-Strengthening Pill, and my physique has greatly improved. Now, I can dance for you all day without feeling tired,” Zhao Ling’er said softly, looking at Ye Yang.

“Good. Then continue dancing a few more for me,” Ye Yang replied with a nod.

“Yes,” Zhao Ling’er responded immediately.

She then began to dance gracefully in front of Ye Yang.

Buzz.

Not long after Zhao Ling’er started dancing, Ye Yang suddenly felt a surge of inspiration. His cultivation, originally at the early stage of the fourth layer of Qi Refining, directly advanced to the middle stage of the fourth layer.

“Hm? A breakthrough in my realm just from watching a dance?” Ye Yang’s eyes narrowed in surprise upon noticing the breakthrough.

“Could it be because of the Soaring Immortal Physique?” he wondered. “That’s right. The Soaring Immortal Physique possesses the Power of the Soaring Immortal, naturally attuned to the heavens and earth. Every movement is in perfect harmony with nature.

“Right now, Zhao Ling’er’s dance isn’t just a performance—it’s also an expression of the Soaring Immortal Physique’s alignment with the laws of heaven and earth. I must have gained insight under the influence of these laws, which led to my breakthrough.”

After contemplating while watching Zhao Ling’er, Ye Yang found the answer to his breakthrough.

“If the Soaring Immortal Physique’s dance can trigger a breakthrough in my realm, how much greater would the benefits be if it were used to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record?” Ye Yang thought, a spark of anticipation rising in his heart as he looked at Zhao Ling’er.

…

While Ye Yang was watching Zhao Ling’er dance, elsewhere, Yao Lai left the Longevity Flower for Zhao Qingzhi and bid him farewell, leaving with Yao Zi’er and the others.

“Grandfather, did you reach an agreement? Which thirty percent of the Zhao family’s industries are they giving to our Medicine family?” Yao Zi’er asked Yao Lai after they got into the car.

“The Zhao family didn’t give us a single industry,” Yao Lai replied, shaking his head.

“Not a single industry? Did the Zhao family convert thirty percent of their industries into money?” Yao Zi’er asked, puzzled. “Grandfather, isn’t that a bit of a loss? Industries are the foundation. Once money reaches a certain level, it’s not worth much, since there are too many things money can’t buy.”

“The Zhao family didn’t convert it into money either,” Yao Lai said.

“No industries, no money?” Yao Zi’er’s curiosity deepened. “Then what did the Zhao family offer? It can’t be that we’re giving our divine medicines to the Zhao family for nothing, right?”

“Indeed, the Zhao family doesn’t need to offer anything to get our divine medicines—and not just one. Tomorrow, another thirty-nine divine medicines will be delivered to the Zhao family for free,” Yao Lai said.

“Giving away one divine medicine for free is one thing, but another thirty-nine? Grandfather, that’s not a funny joke,” Yao Zi’er said. “How is that possible? How could the Zhao family not pay anything? One divine medicine might be plausible—I could believe you hit it off with the Zhao family’s patriarch and gifted him one in good spirits. But forty? That’s impossible.

“Even if you wanted to give them away, the elders of the Medicine family would never agree. Even selling a few divine medicines would be the limit. Dozens at once? Even as the head of the Medicine family, you couldn’t convince them.”

“They will agree,” Yao Lai said, looking at Yao Zi’er. “The Zhao family offered something no one could refuse. That’s enough for now. I’ll explain the details tomorrow. For now, just know that after tomorrow, you’ll gain an incredible opportunity. With this opportunity, your status will surpass even that of the heads of top-tier families like me.”

“An incredible opportunity? Surpassing even the heads of top-tier families?” Yao Zi’er’s face was filled with astonishment and doubt upon hearing Yao Lai’s words.

…

“Is this the complete spiritual medicine that will extend your life, Father?”

“It truly looks extraordinary.”

Inside the teahouse, after Yao Lai and his group left, Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun arrived at Zhao Qingzhi’s private room. Seeing the crystal box containing the Longevity Flower on the table, both Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun showed slight amazement.

“A heavenly and earthly spiritual medicine is naturally extraordinary,” Zhao Qingzhi said. “It’s just a pity that this divine medicine is missing one leaf. I wonder if that will affect its efficacy.” He looked at the Longevity Flower, which now had only ninety-nine leaves, with a trace of regret.

“Forget it. It doesn’t matter. Prepare the car. I need to deliver this Longevity Flower to Mr. Ye first,” Zhao Qingzhi said to Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun. “If I can exchange it for some points, I’ll get each of you a Bone-Strengthening Pill to transform your bodies.”

“Father, points are crucial in Kunlun. We don’t need a transformation for now. You should keep them to improve yourself or exchange for something Ling’er can use. She has a top-tier Wisdom Root. Once Mr. Ye develops something suitable for women with Wisdom Roots, Ling’er will surely grow and truly protect our Zhao family,” Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun said. Though initially excited, they shook their heads and declined.

“No worries. Tomorrow, the Medicine family will deliver another thirty-nine spiritual medicines. The points from all these medicines combined should be enough to exchange rewards for both you and Ling’er,” Zhao Qingzhi said with a smile.

“In that case, we won’t refuse,” Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xuankun nodded after hearing this.

…

An hour later, Zhao Wuji drove Zhao Qingzhi to the villa. At that moment, Zhao Ling’er had just finished dancing.

“You can stop for now. Your father and grandfather are here. Go bring them to see me,” Ye Yang said to Zhao Ling’er.

“My father and grandfather are here?”

“Yes, I’ll bring them to see Mr. Ye right away,” Zhao Ling’er nodded and quickly ran to open the door.

“The top-tier spiritual medicine, the Longevity Flower, has arrived. I wonder if its effects on Earth differ from those in the cultivation world,” Ye Yang thought to himself as he watched Zhao Ling’er leave.
