Qin Chuan held Ye Wenxi's waist with both hands, channeling energy time and again.

He could clearly feel Ye Wenxi's entire delicate body trembling, as if Qin Chuan had drained all her strength.

It wasn't that her stamina was poor; on the contrary, she regularly exercised.

It was truly that Qin Chuan's ability was too outstanding.

So outstanding that she felt her legs trembling, yet Qin Chuan was still full of vigor.

Noticing her discomfort, Qin Chuan felt a pang of compassion and decided not to torment this little novice further.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan made a forceful movement.

Ye Wenxi then cooperated and allowed Qin Chuan to leave her body.

Immediately after, she quickly turned around, knelt before Qin Chuan, opened her little mouth, and took several vigorous sucks.

Qin Chuan's tense mind instantly relaxed.

Like a flood, filling her little mouth to bulging capacity.

After swallowing, Ye Wenxi lay limp on Qin Chuan's bed like a puddle of mud, both physically and mentally extremely satisfied.

Watching her still trembling delicate body, Qin Chuan thoughtfully infused a trace of Spiritual Power into her to aid her recovery.

Afterwards, they took a bath together.

They had struggled for nearly an hour, and indeed, Ye Wenxi was tired; after the bath, she fell asleep immediately.

In contrast, Qin Chuan still felt full of energy and began refining Spiritual Power.

Through this period of cultivation, and dual cultivation, Qin Chuan had taken two more steps forward toward the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation.

Now, forty steps remained.

With the martial arts tournament approaching, Qin Chuan felt that to achieve a good rank and compete with more masters, reaching the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation was at least secure.

This matter, while easy to say, is truly difficult to achieve.

Unless he could find four women equipped with renowned tools to engage in dual cultivation before the tournament, and these four women, moreover, must be virgins.

Look how easy that sounds; he only needs to dual cultivate with four virgins.

But the issue is the renowned tools.

Women possessing a name are rare and hard to seek, and virgins are especially demanding.

Among the women he had been with, only Jian Ya and Ye Wenxi possessed renowned tools.

Su Qian and Luo Yi lacked renowned tools.

In terms of probability, fifty-fifty isn't low.

However, finding four virgins with renowned tools at once, and having them willing to be with him, is harder than ascending to the heavens.

"Seems like, apart from dual cultivation, I must find other ways to increase the cultivation speed."

Qin Chuan thought silently.

Several ways exist to increase cultivation speed, such as Elixir Pills, arrays, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But the problem is, these things are hard to find.

Elixir Pills are excluded first, because with his current realm, he cannot refine those that aid cultivation.

As for arrays, they are also difficult.

First, he doesn't know how to set up an array, and second, in today's world, it's probably difficult to find someone who can set up an array.

So, after much thought, only one way remains: Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Qin Chuan touched the bank card in his pocket.

It still contained one million, and after the Yang Gathering Pills were all cashed in a few days, he would have three million.

At first glance, it's a lot.

However, he still had to buy a small apartment for Teacher Jian Ya.

At the current housing prices in Jiangcheng, purchasing a small apartment of sixty or seventy square meters might cost close to one million.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are even absurdly expensive.

"Spending money like water."

Qin Chuan chuckled bitterly, thinking of visiting Old Master Jiang tomorrow to have a chat and let him keep an eye out for any news on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

On the next day, after finishing a major class, Qin Chuan took a leave with Jian Ya and headed straight for Tongde Hall.

Upon arriving at Tongde Hall, the scene before him startled him.

Over a dozen middle-aged men were blocking the entrance of Tongde Hall, their faces flushed and necks bulging.

"Causing trouble?"

Qin Chuan was puzzled and wanted to help, but upon approaching, he realized these people were there to buy Yang Gathering Pills.

"Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet first."

The employee of Tongde Hall smiled wryly, "The Yang Gathering Pills are truly sold out. You can leave a contact, and as soon as new Yang Gathering Pills arrive, I'll notify you immediately."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the middle-aged men dropped instantly.

"I want to pre-order; I can pay the full amount first." One middle-aged man eagerly pulled out sixty thousand in cash.

Seeing this, other middle-aged men also took out their phones or bank cards: "Swipe my card, I want two."

"I want three..."

"Get lost, I've got the money; however many Yang Gathering Pills you have, I want them all."

The middle-aged men were nearly fighting over the Elixir Pill, leaving Qin Chuan dumbstruck.

So many people in this day and age feel powerless?

He didn't know that the pressures of life, food safety, or excessive indulgence in youth had left these middle-aged men with irreparable regrets.

Now, with a rare miracle drug available to restore their prowess...

They were willing, even if it meant spending everything they have.

Never underestimate a man's obsession in this regard.

Qin Chuan found it both amusing and frustrating, then pushed through the crowd and entered Tongde Hall.

"Did you see the situation outside?"

Upon meeting, Old Master Jiang smiled and handed him a bank card.

The card contained the balance from last time, totaling two million.

From the three million, Old Master Jiang didn't take a single cent.

This made Qin Chuan feel a bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Qin, there's no need to feel embarrassed. During this period, our revenue at Tongde Hall has increased by thirty percent as well," Old Master Jiang explained with a smile.

The Yang Gathering Pill attracted people, which boosted the sales of other medicines at Tongde Hall.

Qin Chuan made the lion's share, while Old Master Jiang earned the smaller portion.

This was part of Old Master Jiang's plan from the start.

If Qin Chuan were to give him money, he would be the one feeling embarrassed.

After hearing this, Qin Chuan quietly let out a sigh of relief, and the guilt reduced slightly.

Afterwards, he informed Old Master Jiang of his intent to collect Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"I do have some aged medicinal herbs here, although I'm not sure if they're what Mr. Qin needs."

With that, Old Master Jiang asked the employees at Tongde Hall to bring over a few brocade boxes.

The boxes contained aged ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, reishi, and Dendrobium Nobile, all prized herbs aged over the years.

Qin Chuan opened the boxes and examined them carefully, then silently shook his head.

The medicinal properties were present, but they lacked one crucial element essential to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy!

What makes Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures so special is that they contain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, which Qin Chuan could directly refine.

Without Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, they cannot be called Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Although the herbs presented by Old Master Jiang were valuable with centuries of aging, they lacked Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

They could be used in medicine, but they couldn't support cultivation.

"Perhaps century-old herbs are not enough; it might require those aged over two hundred years or even older," Qin Chuan said.

"Herbs over two hundred years old..."

Old Master Jiang pondered for a moment and then quietly replied, "You'd probably have to look for the Phantom Group to..."

Before he could finish, a cheerful figure opened the door and entered with a smile, looking at Qin Chuan, "Mr. Qin, why didn't you inform me when you were coming? I could have received you."
