The Hui Country Secret Realm had already become a hot topic among the Cultivator powers of various nations, with almost every country or powerful Cultivator entity sending strong individuals to be stationed in the Secret Realm.

These powerhouses reached an agreement with the Secret Realm's Demon Beasts, allowing for deeper exploration of the Secret Realm provided they did not interfere with each other.

The Demon Beasts were also acutely aware that they could not contend with humans based solely on their own power. Rather than making outright enemies of humanity, it was better to coexist peacefully.

After all, to date, no one had discovered anything useful in the Secret Realm, and as for treasures, besides those that Li Xiaoyao plundered two months ago, there was no further information.

The advantage for human Cultivators was that they knew Li Xiaoyao had already seized a large quantity of treasures; therefore, their purpose in staying here was to find Li Xiaoyao's tracks.

Finding Li Xiaoyao meant finding the treasures.

Ling City.

Tang Tiantian and the other women had entrusted the management of the Dream Charity Foundation to professional managers, and their daily lives were now focused on cultivation, cultivation, and more cultivation.

Jiuyin had fallen into a deep slumber since devouring the physical body of the Eight-Headed Serpent, with too much energy contained within to digest in a short time.

Thankfully, everything had been peaceful lately, and with the women's Cultivation Levels advancing, as well as having Nie Xiaoqian, who was at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, there was no need to worry about their safety.

Nowadays, they spent most of their time cultivating in the botanical garden, rarely leaving unless there was some important matter requiring their attention, such as leaders coming to visit the headquarters of the Dream Charity Foundation. In such cases, they had to make an appearance.

Later on, when they really didn't feel like moving, they would just let Cheng Dongliang know, and those visiting leaders wouldn't dare to take offense.

Besides, by now, the upper echelons of Ling City were all aware that these women were backed by Li Xiaoyao; who would dare to disrespect them?

Moreover, with Li Xiaoyao's identity as the foremost figure in Ling City and the benefits he provided to Cultivators before leaving, should the women encounter any trouble, these Cultivators were always the first to step in and mediate.

With these connections, it could be said that in Ling City and, indeed, the entire Lu Province, no one dared to trouble these women.

Lin Yuanyuan was lately troubled; her parents were urging her to marry, yet her heart was set on Li Xiaoyao. Her parents had met Li Xiaoyao and were aware of his power, but they felt that such a man was beyond the control of a mere woman like Lin Yuanyuan.

Instead of wasting her youth on such a man, they thought it better for her to marry someone of equal social standing and live a stable life.

If Lin Yuanyuan could still feign ignorance and deal with her parents' prodding, Lan Cai's daily phone calls from Yun Country, particularly when Li Xiaoyao came up in conversation, made her guilt unavoidable.

She had been impulsive a few times, wanting to come clean with Lan Cai, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them.

She felt terribly wicked for seducing this loyal hound while her best friend wasn't around.

Even though they hadn't broken through the last barrier of their relationship, it had essentially ceased to be an issue. As long as she made an effort the next time they met, this loyal hound would surely be unable to resist temptation and consume her.

"Ah, this is truly vexing." Just as Lin Yuanyuan was sighing, her male secretary knocked on the door and entered, announcing, "Director Lin, a gentleman from Jindu has arrived and wishes to meet with you."

"Jindu? Who is it?" Lin Yuanyuan now carried herself with great authority. Ever since Lin's Spirit Fruits were promoted, not just Ling City, but the entire region of Lu Province gave her their respect. Coupled with her relationship with Cheng Dongliang, even the influential figures from the capital city spoke to her kindly when they met.

The male secretary said, "Ling Tian, a general from the Jindu military district."

"A general?" Lin Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised; she interacted with many people but couldn't recall any contact with someone from Jindu's military district.

"What does he want with me?"

The male secretary replied, "It seems to be about a matter of cooperation."

After a few seconds of thought, Lin Yuanyuan nodded, "I have time tonight."

"Okay, I'll let him know." As the male secretary bowed and turned around, his gaze lingered greedily on Lin Yuanyuan's shapely and slender legs for a moment before he turned and left.

Lin Yuanyuan was such a beauty, attracting countless men, but not a single one dared to harbor ideas about her, all because of Li Xiaoyao. Otherwise, Lin Yuanyuan, despite her impressive status, could never have avoided trouble.

...

The fusion of the severed finger finally neared its end.

As the last strand of life force merged, Li Xiaoyao suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of vitality sparkled briefly within them.

"It seems I've made quite a breakthrough this time!" With a raise of his eyebrows, Li Xiaoyao clenched his fists, looked down at his nearly perfect body with a wide grin, and revealed a trace of wild joy.

Yi Yi let out a soft snort, "Put your clothes on."

"Ah?" Li Xiaoyao realized awkwardly after her reminder that his clothes had been shattered into pieces by the powerful energy released during the integration of the severed finger, leaving him completely naked, with his manhood proudly standing erect.

Yi Yi turned her head away, her delicate cheeks blushing crimson, having accidentally seen.

Li Xiaoyao quickly put on a set of black robes, coughed twice, attempting to dissipate the awkwardness.

"Senior Sister, there's something I need to discuss."

"A big man like you should just speak plainly, don't dilly-dally."

Err...

Despite her small stature, Yi Yi, the junior sister, had quite the temper.

Li Xiaoyao said, "My father once disappeared into a secret realm, may I ask if Senior Sister knows of his whereabouts?"

"Your father?" Yi Yi asked, "Are you referring to those who first entered the secret realm?"

"Yes, that's them." Li Xiaoyao asked excitedly, "Does Senior Sister know where they are?"

Yi Yi waved her sleeve, and suddenly more than a dozen cultivators lay unconscious on the ground.

Li Xiaoyao immediately spotted Li Chengfeng and rushed over to help him up, asking nervously, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with my father?"

"He's merely unconscious."

Li Xiaoyao let out a sigh of relief, just about to wake Li Chengfeng, when Yi Yi's voice sounded suddenly, "This secret must only be known by you. If any third person finds out, I will kill them."

Li Xiaoyao realized she was not joking and stopped what he was doing, asking, "Senior Sister, how do I get out?"

"I will send you out."

"After you leave, do not slack in your cultivation. Once you reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, remember to come back here. I will give you a magical item."

"The Tribulation Transcendence Realm!" Li Xiaoyao clicked his tongue, that realm was still very far from his current level. However, he was quite interested in the magical item Yi Yi mentioned.

"I understand."

Yi Yi nodded, "The Zhu fruit that you picked earlier, eat no more than one a day; any more is too much. After you leave, remember to take out the core of the Yuanmu zi and refine it a bit every day. It will be of great help to your cultivation level."
