Ye Tian said, "After you go back, you will contract a strange illness. You will suffer excruciating pain every hour, a pain worse than death. Now, I'll let you experience it once."
Instantly, the man let out a pig-like scream, rolling on the ground. His appearance so terrified everyone that they all stepped aside.
The pain lasted for several minutes, and the man was already at death's door, as if he had just endured ten kinds of torture. The bully immediately burst into tears, "Immortal, I was wrong, please spare me!"
Ye Tian said, "From now on, you will supply sand and gravel to the construction site at cost price. For every delivery, you will receive a bottle of medicine here. Whenever you are in pain, take the medicine inside. If you don't..."
The bully quickly replied, "Yes, yes, absolutely at cost price."
Ye Tian continued, "Also, if you're not convinced, you can find any expert you know. I'm ready to face them anytime."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," the man was on the verge of tears.
"Get out, and prepare to have people deliver sand and stones," he said.
These people, as if granted amnesty, quickly retreated.
Lin Jinsheng smiled, "Xiao Tian, I didn't expect you to resolve the matter so quickly."
Ye Tian replied, "These people are lawless because they believe they can fight and kill, and are more ruthless than others. As long as your strength surpasses theirs and your methods are a bit more severe, they will turn into lapdogs."
Lin Jinsheng sighed softly, "I originally wanted to resolve it myself, but it turned out like this."
Ye Tian said, "Uncle, I'll give you a few bottles of medicine later. If this person delivers enough sand and stones daily, you give him one pill."
Lin Jinsheng still had some disbelief, "Will it work?"
Ye Tian chuckled, "Compared to that kind of pain, he'd be willing to go bankrupt."
Afterward, he bandaged Lin Jinsheng's wounds, and the construction site's work continued. Ye Tian took a stroll around the site and then drove home.
He took out his pill furnace and used some simple medicinal ingredients to refine a pill, about the size of a soybean. This medicine could relieve the bully's pain, with one pill a day.
He refined sixty pills and then handed them over to Zhu Yuting, asking her to pass them to Lin Jinsheng later.
After refining the pills, he rested for a while. As dusk approached, he suddenly had a premonition, knowing that he was about to break through to the final stage of Spirit Refining, Inspiration.
The stage of Inspiration is elusive, and once an opportunity arises, one must break through immediately; opportunities are fleeting.
He immediately went to his room, sat cross-legged, with his five senses directed upwards, and entered a deep meditative state.
When he opened his eyes, it was already the early morning of the next day. He pushed open the door, and Lin Ziyi was sitting in the living room. She smiled, "Immortal Ye, are you done cultivating?"
It turned out that Lin Ziyi had returned home yesterday and found Ye Tian cultivating, so she didn't disturb him. She hadn't expected him to emerge only now.
Ye Tian sensed himself, feeling his mind pure and having reached the stage of Ming Xin Jian Xing (seeing the true nature of the mind), which indicated he had entered the Inspiration realm.
This realm provided a profound and subtle perception of all things in the universe, mysterious and indescribable. The most significant impact on him was in alchemy.
With a pure heart, his control over heat and his grasp of timing became more precise, resulting in higher quality pills.
He thought of Daoist Kumoku. In his current state, he could now refine the medicine to cure Daoist Kumoku.
He took out the pill silk, added some more medicinal ingredients, and immediately began refining a type of pill called the Ming Xin Dan. The ingredients for refining the Ming Xin Dan were easy to find, but the alchemist had to have reached the stage of Ming Xin, otherwise, they could not refine it.
Throughout history, Ming Xin Martial Kings were rare, and those capable of alchemy were even rarer.
Soon, the first furnace of pills was refined, yielding three grades.
With some medicinal ingredients remaining, Ye Tian continued to refine the second furnace. This time, with the experience gained, the pills were refined to two grades.
After refining the pills, he smiled slightly and dialed Daoist Kumoku's number.
Upon hearing that the medicine was ready, Daoist Kumoku was overjoyed and wanted to rush over that very night.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Daoist Kumoku arrived, travel-worn.
Ye Tian smiled, "Daoist, you seem very anxious."
Daoist Kumoku smiled faintly, "It concerns life and death, how can I not be anxious?"
Ye Tian said, "Today, I shall witness your ascension to Human Immortal."
Daoist Kumoku bowed deeply to him, "Your great kindness is beyond words of thanks."
