The pockmarked faced man chuckled, "We dance on the edge of a knife. We make a profit whenever we can, and we don't miss any opportunity to get rich!"
That night, after Cheng Baoyi retired, Ye Tian went into the courtyard to practice his cultivation, continuing to absorb the moonlight.
As the sun rose, Ye Tian absorbed the essence of the sun. This time, he felt his divine sense was exceptionally sensitive and lively. His five senses and six perceptions reopened, and his inner elixir spun in his stomach.
He felt his primordial spirit was on the verge of formation, but it was just a little short. He then took out the golden elixir, preparing to absorb more of its threads.
However, the moment he took out the golden elixir, his inner elixir vibrated and flew out of his mouth, heading towards the golden elixir in his hand.
The golden elixir suddenly emitted light, as if trying to escape, but in the next second, the inner elixir suddenly enveloped it. Having swallowed the golden elixir, the inner elixir doubled in size and returned to his stomach.
A miraculous scene unfolded. Eight small holes appeared on the inner elixir, and nine apertures emerged below, each spewing out purple and golden light. The purple light was absorbed by his faint primordial spirit. As he absorbed the purple light, his primordial spirit gradually became clearer, and Ye Tian's divine sense grew stronger.
The golden light, on the other hand, seeped into Ye Tian's body and reached his kidneys.
Ye Tian immediately sat down and circulated his vital energy. Gradually, he felt a wondrous change occur in his body. This change was similar to when Ku Mu broke through to Human Immortal, but it was more profound and mysterious than his.
He remained seated for over an hour. When he opened his eyes, the changes in his body had ceased. His primordial spirit had not disappeared and remained in his Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Tian knew very well that he had taken a crucial step on the path to becoming a Human Immortal. With continued cultivation, he would eventually become a true Human Immortal.
Returning to his room, Cheng Baoyi had already arranged for breakfast. She said, "Xiao Tian, come and eat quickly."
Ye Tian replied, "Auntie, why don't you stay in Haicheng for a few days?"
Cheng Baoyi said, "I won't. I still have many matters to attend to."
Ye Tian nodded and said, "I'll come to you as soon as I can."
After they finished eating, Ye Tian personally drove Cheng Baoyi to the high-speed rail station. As the car pulled out of the villa, Ye Tian noticed an SUV following them. He didn't pay much attention at first.
However, after a while, the SUV suddenly accelerated, overtook them, and then abruptly cut in front of them. The car doors opened, and four masked figures emerged, holding guns.
Cheng Baoyi was startled and asked, "Xiao Tian, who are they?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "Auntie, don't be afraid. Wait in the car."
He pushed open the car door, raised his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, if you need money, I can give it to you."
One of them sneered, "Kid, stop the nonsense. Let the woman in the car get out. You two come with us."
Ye Tian asked, "Where are we going?"
The man angrily retorted, "I didn't ask you to ask questions! Hurry up!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, all four of them felt a sudden blankness in their minds, and they stood frozen in place.
Ye Tian drove his car to the side, then moved the attackers' car to the front side, and then threw all four of them into their car. He patted one of them on the face and asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Tian, now possessing a primordial spirit, could instantly hypnotize this person with a mere thought. The pockmarked faced man mumbled, "It's Dong Guangwu."
"Who is Dong Guangwu?" Ye Tian asked.
"A friend we met on the streets. He's currently involved with a female celebrity, and it's the female celebrity who wants to deal with you."
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, recalling Jiang Yulin's newly found girlfriend. He knew they were the same person. He asked, "What did Dong Guangwu tell you?"
The pockmarked faced man replied, "Catch Cheng Baoyi and stage a car accident, making her die in the car."
"How much did they promise you?"
"Two million upfront, and another three million after the job is done."
Ye Tian mused, "Twenty million to buy my aunt's life. This woman must be very wealthy."
He remained silent for a moment, then woke everyone up and subjected them to deep hypnosis. He commanded, "You will go to Haicheng and find that female celebrity who hired you. Do to her what she intended to do to my aunt. Do you understand?"
"Understood," the four men replied with blank expressions and nodded.
Not long after, the four men drove away in their car, heading straight for Zhonghai. They would carry out Ye Tian's orders and go to Zhonghai to deal with Xin Jie.
