Yang Xiaotian immediately woke up the Medicine Cauldron and shared his idea.

The Medicine Cauldron, not mincing words, responded, “Do you think that continuing to consume elixirs for cultivation and just expelling the pill toxins is all there is to it?”

Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.

“Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water can indeed expel pill toxins, but if you overconsume elixirs, eventually, your True Qi will be entirely transformed from the power of elixirs, leaving your True Qi rootless,” stated the Medicine Cauldron.

“However, now that you are capable of refining supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pills, which are much purer than the top-quality ones, and given that you have Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, you could consume a supreme-quality Four Symbols Spirit Pill once every half month.”

Every half month?

Although somewhat disappointed, Yang Xiaotian thought that consuming a pill once every half month was still better than before.

“In the path of cultivation, don’t always think about quickly advancing your realm,” the Medicine Cauldron said with a heavy heart: “You have only just begun cultivating and should think about how to solidify your foundation.”

“Now, you can read more cultivation techniques and martial skills to broaden your horizons.”

“You can also read through the cultivation experiences of predecessors.”

Hearing the Medicine Cauldron’s advice which was akin to Luo Qing’s, Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to leave, Ate and Ali came and said that the paperwork for the houses on both sides was complete.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian instructed them to hire craftsmen to connect the two houses, and eventually integrate all three. He also told them to renovate the two new houses.

“Oh, Young Master, this is an invitation sent by the City Lord. The City Lord is hosting a birthday banquet tonight and has invited you to attend,” Ate remembered something and said, taking out an invitation with golden lettering.

The City Lord’s birthday banquet?

Yang Xiaotian took the invitation, opened it, and saw that inside was a personal message from Peng Zhigang, the City Lord of Divine Sword City. The handwriting was bold and powerful, inviting him to attend the fiftieth birthday banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion that evening.

Peng Zhigang’s tone was sincere and polite, mentioning that he would await Yang Xiaotian’s arrival at the mansion.

Yang Xiaotian put away the invitation, deciding to make some time to attend in the evening since Peng Zhigang, the City Lord of Divine Sword City, had cordially invited him.

After all, he might need the City Lord’s assistance someday while staying in Divine Sword City.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian inquired about the cultivation progress of the slaves.

Learning that this time fifteen people had broken through to the Innate level, Yang Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But thinking of the eighteen who had not broken through to the Innate level, he felt stifled.

Was it really worth spending so much on top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid to train these people?

After all, the cost of so much top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid had already surpassed the market value of these individuals.

Seeing that it was still early, Yang Xiaotian refined eighteen more portions of top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and asked Ate and Ali to administer them to the remaining eighteen people for cultivation.

He also instructed them to tell everyone that if they still couldn’t break through to the Innate level this time, they would be left to fend for themselves.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotian had Ate and Ali make arrangements to purchase a large batch of ingredients for refining Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid and Dragon-Tiger Elixir.

Learning that Luo Qing was still in closed-door cultivation attempting to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm, Yang Xiaotian told Ate to instruct their subordinates not to disturb Luo Qing.

Yang Xiaotian returned to Hundred Swords Plaza, which was still teeming with people.

For the teachers and students at Divine Sword Academy, the opportunity to observe Yang Xiaotian’s comprehension of the Stone Swords was rare, so they had arrived early.

Some had even come before the rooster crowed to secure a good spot.

Yang Xiaotian started to comprehend the fifty-first Stone Sword.

However, having been invited by the City Lord of Divine Sword City for this evening, Yang Xiaotian only contemplated five Stone Swords before leaving Hundred Swords Plaza.

When he returned to his residence, Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and three others, who had been out for two days, had just come back. They did not disappoint Yang Xiaotian and brought back a large number of slaves at the peak of the Acquired tenth level.

Moreover, the quality of this batch of slaves was clearly much higher than the previous batch.

Looking at the fifty-three slaves before him, Yang Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction and said to Liao Kun, Zhang Jingrong, and five others, “You’ve done well.”

Liao Kun and the other five felt a sense of relief.

“The young master is too kind,” Liao Kun said with a smile. “We are only doing our duty. If the young master requires more acquired tenth-grade peak slaves, we can purchase them from farther cities, or even from Divine Sea Royal City.”

Divine Sea Royal City?

An idea struck Yang Xiaotian.

If he had the time, he would also like to visit their King of Divine Sea’s Royal City.

And pay a visit to the Grand Pharmacist Hall Master of Divine Sea Country, Li Wen.

Li Wen had given him an identity token before.

“We’ll see about that later,” Yang Xiaotian said, then had the fifty-three slaves ingest the elixirs for control and transmitted the cultivation techniques to them.

However, he currently had no top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid on him, so he let the fifty-three practice the cultivation technique.

After having Ate arrange accommodations for the fifty-three, Yang Xiaotian said to Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong, “There is a banquet at the Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion tonight, you two will come with me later.”

One should always bring a couple of people to carry things when attending a banquet.

Apart from Luo Qing, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong were the strongest by his side, with one at the third layer of the Martial King and the other at the second layer.

Upon hearing that Yang Xiaotian wanted to take them to the City Lord’s banquet, Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong were naturally pleased and agreed readily.

After that, Yang Xiaotian asked them to prepare and the three of them set off an hour later.

Taking advantage of the extra hour, he hastily concocted some top-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid.

One hour later, the three of them set off.

The City Lord’s Mansion was not far away, and soon, the three arrived.

By the time they reached the City Lord’s Mansion, it was already lit up with lanterns, and the street in front of the mansion was filled with a variety of luxurious carriages, some of which were even drawn by rare Spirit Beasts.

In comparison to the guests who arrived in luxurious carriages, the three of them walking on foot seemed rather shabby.

It seems I’ll need to get a carriage of my own someday, Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to enter the City Lord’s Mansion, suddenly, someone shouted from behind, “Her Highness the Fourth Princess has arrived.”

Surrounded by a large group of guards, a luxurious carriage drove up.

The carriage curtain was pulled back, revealing Cheng Beibei.

Besides Cheng Beibei, there was also Hu Xing.

Yang Xiaotian had not expected that City Lord Peng Zhigang had also invited Cheng Beibei and Hu Xing.

At that moment, Cheng Beibei caught sight of Yang Xiaotian, and her eyes shot flames of fury, “It’s you!”

Hu Xing also had an unpleasant look when he saw Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian ignored the two and walked into the City Lord’s Mansion with Liao Kun and Zhang Jingrong.

Cheng Beibei stared daggers at Yang Xiaotian’s back and gritted her teeth, “Yang Xiaotian, I’ll make sure you get what’s coming to you later!”

Just a few days ago, after being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, she had practiced her cultivation desperately and, with the help of the royal resources, finally made her breakthrough to the Innate level yesterday.

Later, she intended to take her revenge for that kick.

Thinking of how she, a princess of a country, had been kicked away by Yang Xiaotian, she could not wait to crush him into a pulp.

“Princess, is that the same youngster who hurt you a few days ago? I’ll teach him a good lesson right now for you!” A guard at the tenth layer of the Innate level stepped forward indignantly behind Cheng Beibei.
