Pills

"Serve under you?" Hua Minghai spoke out, confused at what Yang Tian had been implying.

"I have heard about your skills. Moreover, I saw your guts and your skill. It's truly not bad… I want you to work for me and steal the resources of the Divine Phoenix Empire and the Sacred Lands. In return, I shall not only heal your wife but protect her as well." Yang Tian said to Hua Minghai.

Hua Minghai hesitated for some time as he said, "…The sacred lands and the Divine Phoenix Empire? I can indeed steal their entire treasury… But if they find me, they will kill you."

Yang Tian waved his hand and spoke monotonously, "You don't need to worry about those small matters. I have my own cards up my sleeve. Just tell me if you agree or not."

"Alright…" Hua Minghai agreed to his request soon enough.

Yang Tian neared Hua Minghai and grabbed his head. He concentrated a little, and a blue coloured light shone on Hua Minghai's head.

This was Profound Handle. But Yang Tian was using it in a secretive manner so that they won't know what he was doing.

After some moments, Yang Tian found the technique, the Extreme Mirage Lightning. He let go of Hua Minghai's head and then stared at his wife, "Alright, I will take her inside. After half an hour, she will be completely cured."

"Okay…" Hua Minghai agreed and led the two of them inside the hideout.

Within the hideout, Yang Tian just sent his profound energy within Hua Minghai's profound veins and wasted time needlessly. When he felt that the time was appropriate, he sent a pulse from the Sky Poison Pearl and instantly cured her.

After this was done, the wife and husband reunited with each other. Hua Minghai was too touched as he saw his wife get better, he immediately kneeled in front of Yang Tian, "Please take all the treasures I have gathered till now. They are no longer useful to me… I also give you my word to steal all the treasures I can from the Sacred Lands and the Divine Phoenix Empire, even at the cost of my life."

'A promise from a thief? That's something I won't have counted on in my previous life…Ah well…'

"Alright, now stand up. Also, don't think of risking your lives. I didn't cure your wife's poison just so you could go and kill yourself in excitement. You have more use to me if you stay alive. If you miss a chance, it's not a big deal, you can have another chance if you maintain your life." Yang Tian said a little seriously.

"I will be giving you some pills. They should allow you to break through the Emperor Profound Realm and be of use to you even after you break through to the Emperor Profound Realm. Once you reach the Emperor Profound Realm, your speed should take another great leap. At that time, you might be able to outrun a Sovereign Profound Realm with that technique." Yang Tian said to Hua Minghai, who had nodded his agreement.

However, he didn't think Yang Tian would have such pellets with him. Just who was this individual?

Soon enough, he shook his head negatively. The identity of his benefactor wasn't important…

As this issue was settled, Yang Tian did not stand on ceremony and accepted all the treasures Hua Minghai had gathered. They could be used to form pills, and the astral energy in some of these herbs could be used to nourish his body.

Yang Tian returned to his house, meeting up with Cang Yue and Chu Yuechan who were cultivating earlier.

He frowned a little as he believed that letting them cultivate like this wouldn't be beneficial.

He sent a spiritual command to Yun Canghai 'Protect them from the shadows…'

Yun Canghai let out a sigh, but he accepted this command. This wasn't going to be any big deal to him. He had noticed that no presence in this Divine Phoenix Empire could hurt him now that he had completely recovered his strength.

To maintain his honour and to have a chance at returning to Illusionary Demon Realm, he had kept on obeying Yang Tian's order. He still held little to no idea just when Yang Tian would have the ability to allow him to return, but he had no choice other than to wait.

Yang Tian spoke to Cang Yue and Chu Yuechan, "The two of you… There are some beasts in the forest close to us. Go out there and kill some beasts… The Sky Profound Beasts are to be killed by Yue'er. You must not assist her at that time, Yuechan; your targets will be the Emperor Profound Beasts."

"You won't be coming with us?" Cang Yue asked a little hopefully.

"No. If I come with you, you will unconsciously rely upon me. You need to get stronger yourself…Meanwhile, I will be going to gather the intel over why the Blue Wind Emperor was assassinated." Yang Tian informed her of this.

He internally smiled when he saw a sombre look appearing on Cang Yue's face.

"Got it!"

Chu Yuechan looked at Yang Tian rather gently and said, "…Take care of yourself. Don't take any risks."

"Hmm…" Yang Tian grunted in response before he patted their heads.

After some time, they parted in two different directions.

Yang Tian was thinking 'Now then… Time to bring the Future Flame God Realm's Realm King under my fold.'

He was naturally thinking of going over to Feng Xue'er now.

'Feng Xue'er… I guess one of the only women in this world whom I have wanted to go to from the start. Her innocence which has never been tainted by this world… She had been protected from all of this world's filth by her father. Perhaps she is the one who can indeed be said to have one of the purest soul in this world. Even I am getting excited at the prospect of meeting my "favourite waifu" in this world.'

Yang Tian was slightly amused by his own thoughts. He didn't think he had used the term waifu after coming to this world. It was as if the weeb inside of him was still alive…
