Yen entered the room, and a ripple of attention followed in his wake. Whispers flitted through the air as heads turned in his direction."He's the apprentice of the legendary Pill Doctor, right?" someone inquired, their curiosity evident in hushed tones.Another voice affirmed, "Yeah, it's said that he absorbed all of his master's teachings, and now, he's gradually outshining even the legend himself." The murmurs hinted at the buzz of admiration and anticipation surrounding Yen's presence.As he moved through the room, a silent aura of respect accompanied him. The atmosphere, once indifferent, now crackled with the unspoken acknowledgment of Yen's burgeoning expertise. The room, previously static, now buzzed with the energy of whispers and sidelong glances exchanged in recognition of Yen's reputation as the heir to a renowned Pill Doctor."Tch! They weren't even aware of his existence until his death, but now they're all acting like they personally knew him. Suckers!" Yen's cynical th
As the company's growth unfolded, the immediate concern shifted to the delayed payment of salaries. Yen, with a raised brow, turned his attention to Rotlitch. "What's your solution to the payment of salaries?" he inquired, the weight of the question hanging in the air, demanding a swift and effective resolution to maintain the company's smooth operation.The urgency was palpable; the salary issue needed resolution today, no other day would suffice."Well, it's barely noon, so it should be doable," Rotlitch replied, his explanation carrying a hint of cryptic assurance.Brows still raised, Yen pressed for clarification, "What should be doable?" The need for a concrete plan resonated in his inquiry, emphasizing the immediacy of the situation.Rotlitch pointed at Yen. "You. You'll be heading out early today. You'll be going to the bank to personally pay into the bank accounts of every worker. It should be doable since it's barely noon." The plan unfolded before Yen, a clear directive for t
"The pill worked for the family head, but we found out the hard way that one of those pills wouldn't be enough," the guard explained, his words carrying a weight of disappointment that hung in the air.Ignoring Rotlitch's question, he delved into the details. "The pill restored the health of the family head for over a month, and he seemed gone during that period, only to recently give in to the ailment once again." Yen listened intently, the gravity of the situation sinking in.As the guard spoke, Yen's eyes darted around the room, searching for clues.{The pill showed temporary effects because it was never meant for a cultivator,} Stem's explanation echoed, aligning perfectly with Yen's thoughts."Precisely," Yen acknowledged the words of his system internally. The revelation hung in the air, a key piece of the puzzle falling into place. Yen's eyes met Stem's virtual interface, gratitude flickering in his gaze."Apologies for the health of the family head of your family, but again, ho
Shuri's face twisted into a subtle smile as she turned to Yen once more. "My grandfather indeed is a cultivator."Having addressed Yen's unspoken question, which she assumed was the reason for his earlier silence, Shuri awaited his response. Yen, in acknowledgment, simply nodded."I see. That indeed is the reason why the drug didn't do well in the first place. And how far has he gone on his Cultivation journey?" Yen mused, rubbing the beard he had yet to grow.Shuri, thoughtful for a moment, didn't have the precise cultivation level of her grandfather, but she knew he was a formidable individual, surpassing her by a considerable margin, even though she currently stood at the second level. The room held a quiet anticipation as Shuri considered how to convey the extent of her grandfather's prowess to the inquisitive Yen."Honestly, I don't know, but considering I'm at the early stages of Blood Condensation, and he's still very much stronger—preferably one of the strongest I've ever seen—
The smile on Yen's face lingered as he gazed at the impressive pile of cash before him. The tangible reality of the wealth he had accumulated in just a week was undeniable. The amount could have been even greater if there were more pills available for sale.Yen's grin widened as he assessed the significant profit, even after accounting for the cost of the pills. He turned to Grey, recognizing the crucial role he played in the operation."You deserve a reward for this." Yen patted Grey's shoulder thoughtfully. "How about a few dozen pills to boost your cultivation? I can see you're progressing greatly, so they'll help you advance even further." Yen offered, a satisfied smile on his face.Grey, eager to ascend in stature, nodded almost reflexively. Among cultivators, the truth held firm: the higher you climbed, the greater your standing. Elevated levels brought not just power but also a surge in reputation. Respect flowed effortlessly towards those who soared above the rest.Consider a
