I Can Give Talent

When Layla heard Anda's question, she went panicky.

"Ma-madam, why are you asking this question?" 

"Hehe, I'm just asking. You know, Leyvi and I had just established our family, and with my profession, we are going to be richer and richer. Our family really needs someone like you to handle our money and assets. And I feel that it would be better if Sister Layla became a real member of our family too." Anda tempted Layla even more.

"But Madam Anda, there are more people more qualified than me out there...." Although Layla had some skills, she knew there were far better options than her that Anda could pick.

"Sister Layla, I trust you the most. Isn't that the best qualification?" Anda tried her best to make Layla feel like the chosen one. The deeper her feelings for them, the better.

Sure enough, Layla was touched by Anda's words and started to tear up. She never knew being deeply trusted like this could make her feel very joyous and content.

Anda smiled. "Sister Layla, if the time comes when you feel ready to be a part of the family, you can tell me. I will reserve the position of Leyvi's 3rd wife for you."

"Th-third wife...." Layla started daydreaming. She didn't know if she deserved this position. She was just a nobody with a pretty face and her skills were not at the top of her field. Not to mention her cultivation aptitude was just average.

Little did Layla know, that Anda's criteria for choosing Leyvi's women depends entirely on their characters. With her abilities, this was not difficult. Even without her ability, she could filter a lot of people with just her panda eye. Any hint of disgust when they saw her birthmark would make them instantly unworthy of any interactions. Furthermore, with her husband's treasure, which person couldn't be turned into a genius?

Looks? Figure? This was unimportant to her because she believed with her alchemy skills, she could turn any of them into a kingdom-toppling beauty in the future.

"Alright Sister Layla, back to business. Have you acquired the alchemy ingredients?" Anda woke Layla up from her daydream.

"Ah! Yes, madam. Here they are. But what are you trying to make madam? These ingredients were expensive, especially this Golden Dew." Layla who was about to ride Leyvi in her daydream came back to reality and immediately handed over the alchemy ingredients.

"Hehe, Sister Layla, just wait and see, I'm about to turn the city upside down again," Anda smiled mysteriously.

Layla had goosebumps hearing Anda's reply. What was it that this madam of hers would do this time?

......

Meanwhile, in the basement where the training area was located, Leyvi was practicing with Mr. Bison.

Since the incident where he lost his mind last time, he discovered that he could activate the Fiery Trailblazer skill to his entire body, not just his legs. He was attacking Mr. Bison with all his might to test his power and also Mr. Bison's Heavenly Lord Diamond Body.

Every single explosive punch and kick Leyvi landed on Mr. Bison would crack his bones and make him scream in agony. The formations in the training area would absorb any impact dealt with and prevent the room from getting damaged.

"Arrrggghhhh!!"

"It hurts!! What kind of body is this?" Leyvi understood now why those masked bandits died with just a single ram from Mr. Bison. Now he wondered what kind of attack would work on Mr. Bison.

Leyvi consumed a Minor Healing Elixir, healed all his injuries, and continued attacking Mr. Bison. His legs and hands bones would crack and he would heal them again. He repeated this process many times. 

Seeing that nothing could harm him, Mr. Bison was getting a bit arrogant. "Haha Boss! I could do this all day! What is this? A tickle?"

Leyvi was a bit irritated. This lawn mower, he's the one who gave him that talent, and now he wants to show off. Oh? An Idea came into Leyvi's mind.

Leyvi healed himself again and came near Mr. Bison. This time he didn't use any physical attack. He touched Mr. Bison's back, produced fire with his Qi, and quickly increased the temperature.

"OOUUUCCCCHHHHH!! OUCCHHHH!!"

"Boss! It burns! Stop! I give up!" Mr. Bison was yelling for mercy.

"Hahaha! You see that lawn mower? You are not invincible! Stop being so arrogant next time or someone will roast you! If you met an opponent like Anda who is an expert in fire control, you better run." Leyvi was satisfied he managed to find a way to inflict damage on this bison.

Besides finding a way to damage Mr. Bison, he also noticed something peculiar. As his bones kept getting cracked and healed repeatedly, he discovered that it would take more and more attacks on Mr. Bison for his bones to get cracked again. Leyvi figured maybe he could train his body like this.

With the combination of Mr. Bison's special ability to shatter things easily and the countless Minor Healing Elixirs made by Anda, Leyvi started his bodily training that was full of pain and agony. The more Leyvi does this, the more terrified Mr. Bison feels at the endurance and tenacity of his boss. Was this really his boss who always goofing around? He couldn't even endure a little bit of burning pain but his boss shattered all the bones in his body again and again like a psychopath. 

"Mr. Bison! From now on ram onto me twice harder!" The bloodied Leyvi looked like a madman now.

"Boss! Are you crazy??" Mr. Bison refuted.

"Just do it!" Leyvi felt like he was grasping something, he was on the verge of something, his instincts right now demanded him to continue this process over and over, more and more, harder and harder!

.........

A month later,

Anda had just finished her alchemy concocting session. She had used every ingredient in her possession to concoct these Tier-2 pills throughout this month. It was one of the hardest Tier-2 alchemy products that many alchemists failed to make.

A Foundation Solidifying pill!

This pill could remove the impurities that existed in the liquid qi of the Foundation Building realms cultivator. 

When breaking through to the Foundation Building realm, since the size of a dantian is fixed, a cultivator needed to condense the accumulated refined Qi in their dantian into Liquid Qi, so it could hold more Qi. In this process, not all gaseous Qi turned into Liquid Qi, which was caused by various reasons.

This unconverted gaseous Qi became the impurities and it exists as bubbles in the liquid Qi. At this stage, it wouldn't cause much trouble for cultivators, however, when they broke through to the next realm and formed the core, these bubbles became a severe issue. Cores that were formed with a lot of these bubbles are more prone to cracks and at higher risk of losing their cultivation.

It was like making an ice ball, the one that froze with more bubbles would crack easier than the one without.

The volume of the liquid Qi accumulated and the amount of impurities that existed in it will decide the quality of the core formed. This was the reason this realm was called the Foundation Building realm because after you go past this point, there will be no turning back.

This is also why many cultivators stayed in this realm as long as they could to increase the volume of their liquid Qi and slowly remove the bubbles.

Anda had studied the market and found out this pill hadn't been sold in Bara City for a long time because of the difficulties in making it. 

The difference in difficulties could be seen by how long it took Anda to refine a few of them. When she refined hundreds of thousands of Qi Refining pills, it only took her a few days. When she refined the slightly above a hundred Foundation Solidifying pills in her possession, it took her a whole month.

After keeping all the high-grade and top-grade Foundation Solidifying pills for family use, Anda looked at the 50 low-grade and 30 middle-grade Foundation Solidifying pills in front of her. She let out a mischievous smile. She wanted to hear about the chaos her pills would cause again.

Before that, she had to visit Lilian first. Ever since Lilian adventured with them and married Leyvi, Lilian who was at the peak of the Foundation Building realm for a long time finally felt that she could break through, but Anda instructed her to hold for a bit.

Anda wanted to give her a top-grade Foundation Solidifying pill which would eliminate all impurities in her liquid Qi!

From low-grade to top-grade, the effect would increase from 50% to 75%, to 90% to 100% of remaining impurities removed.

"Lilian, are you ready?" Anda entered Lilian's room and asked.

"Sister Anda, is the pill done?" Lilian asked. They had discussed this and she had been preparing for her breakthrough for a month.

Anda smiled and nodded. "Let's go to the basement for your breakthrough."

When they arrived at the basement, their eyes widened seeing Leyvi getting rammed by Mr. Bison into the air and he landed without any damage.

"Boss! Can we stop already? I can't even hurt you anymore! My head hurts." Mr. Bison complained.
