Chapter 3960: Chief Steward Lou Baiming

Ye Bufan finished his Thunder God Body Tempering Art Cultivation, and now it was time to consider how to help those around him improve their strength.

This great battle yielded abundant gains, and he had accumulated a large amount of resources in his hands.

He took stock of the Storage Rings he had seized; besides various Materials, the Immortal Crystals totaled around 300 million.

Adding the 500 million he had extorted from Yuwen Gong earlier, he now had over 800 million.

It was a pity that fellow's Storage Ring was reduced to nothing by the Extinction Divine Lightning; otherwise, he could have definitely made another huge fortune.

Fortunately, he had extorted 500 million in advance, or the loss would have been truly significant.

Besides these Immortal Crystals, he also had one Divine Essence Pill of the Immortal Emperor middle stage and one of the Immortal Emperor Early Stage.

Of the remaining Divine Essence Pills refined by Immortal Venerable level powerhouses, there were nearly a hundred, worth even more than 800 million Immortal Crystals.

Ye Bufan calculated that while the resources seemed considerable, everyone on his side was a big consumer of resources, so he had to be meticulous and strive for the highest cost-effectiveness possible.

If he were to use all these resources himself, his strength would probably reach the Immortal Venerable Middle Stage, or perhaps even the Late Stage if things went well.

Currently, his combat power, relying on the Thunder God Body Tempering Art, had already reached the Immortal Emperor Late Stage, so this small improvement would not significantly help his strength and was not cost-effective.

Then he would help the people around him improve; there were only a few people who could rapidly improve through resources.

Before, it was Erlang and Xuan Yuan Linglong; now, Lu Banxia also had the strength of an Immortal Venerable Peak, and if she took the Divine Essence Pill, she should be able to Break Through to the Immortal Emperor Early Stage.

After some thought, he finally came up with a plan and brought Xuan Yuan Linglong and Lu Banxia into the Dragon King Palace.

First, he checked Lu Banxia's pulse to confirm that her Wu Spirit Body had returned to its Peak state and her previous Cultivation was completely stable, providing a foundation for further advancement. Then, he took out the Divine Essence Pill of the Immortal Emperor middle stage and had her consume it.

After Lu Banxia consumed the Medicinal Pill, the Aura within her body rapidly ascended.

Although the Wu Spirit Body was not as monstrous as Xuan Yuan Linglong and Ye Erlang Cultivating the Spotless Heavenly Book, it was still a one-in-ten-thousand Physique, possessing extremely high Talent.

Now, with one Divine Essence Pill consumed, the Aura on her body rapidly surged, impacting the Immortal Venerable Bottleneck.

Ye Bufan observed silently from the side, carefully monitoring every change within her body.

Approximately half an hour later, the Medicinal Pill's efficacy was completely absorbed and refined. Lu Banxia's strength also reached a Peak, but she was still stuck at the Bottleneck and unable to Break Through.

“It seems one Medicinal Pill is still not enough.”

Ye Bufan put another Divine Essence Pill of the Immortal Emperor Early Stage into her mouth.

The Medicinal Pill dissolved upon entering her mouth, and Lu Banxia's Dantian, which had just calmed down, boiled again.

Then, a faint 'click' sound came from beside her ear, and a powerful Aura shot up into the sky, completely Breaking Through the Immortal Venerable Bottleneck and stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm.

As an Immortal Emperor level powerhouse, the shock brought by the explosion of her Aura was imaginable, and the surrounding space trembled.

Fortunately, the Dragon King Palace had been ninety percent repaired; otherwise, it probably couldn't have withstood her Breakthrough.

“Ye Dage, I've Broken Through!”

Lu Banxia was overjoyed; she had always wanted to be a helper to the man in front of her, but she had always been a burden.

Even after Breaking Through to Immortal Venerable Peak, she could only be a spectator in the previous great battle, but now it was different; she was also an Immortal Emperor, and she could finally play some role.

Ye Bufan told her to consolidate her Cultivation nearby, then took out 800 million High Grade Immortal Crystals and gave them to Xuan Yuan Linglong.

In comparison, the Divine Essence Pill was more precious and would be used later.

According to his idea,

If some could be saved, then he would help Erlang improve again.

Facts proved that he had thought too much; the consumption of resources by the Spotless Heavenly Book was simply beyond imagination.

In just one hour, the High Grade Immortal Crystals, like a small mountain, were completely consumed, but Xuan Yuan Linglong was still in the Immortal Emperor Early Stage and showed no signs of Breaking Through.

Ye Bufan smiled bitterly; it seemed this thing could not be saved.

Then, he fed Divine Essence Pills to Xuan Yuan Linglong one after another, helping her absorb and refine them to continue improving.

Finally, after consuming ninety Medicinal Pills, she officially Broke Through the threshold of the Immortal Emperor Early Stage and entered the Immortal Emperor middle stage.

Ye Bufan looked at the few remaining Medicinal Pills in his hand and shook his head. Helping Erlang improve was temporarily impossible; he could only earn more resources in the future.

After helping the two improve, they left the Dragon King Palace and returned to the inn.

The next two days were for rest, adjusting and consolidating their strength, and incidentally helping Luo Bingyan and Shen Qiyun reach the Immortal Venerable Early Stage.

The two of them were extremely depressed at the moment; in the past, they were Genius Disciples of the Liuguang Sword Sect, revered by countless people.

But ever since they followed Ye Bufan, although their Cultivation speed had increased countless times faster than before, they were always the ones lagging behind, with the weakest strength.

But there was no other way; although the two worked hard to Cultivate, their Cultivation speed simply couldn't compare to Dual Cultivation techniques.

Three days later, when Ye Bufan walked out of the inn, Jing Liankong and his son were already standing proudly at the door.

In three days, they had completely stabilized the entire Lieyuan City with their own strength, and Jing Liankong had firmly established himself as the City Lord.

Seeing Ye Bufan come out, he immediately greeted him with a grateful expression.

“Young Master Ye, words cannot express my gratitude. This is a small token of appreciation from our father and son; please accept it.”

As he spoke, he held a Storage Ring in both hands, UU reading a book,

And respectfully offered it.

This Young man in front of him could kill Yuwen Gong and was also an extraordinary Immortal Array Master; either one was enough to make him respectful.

“Then I won't be polite!”

Ye Bufan indeed did not stand on ceremony with the father and son. He reached out and took the Storage Ring. His Divine Sense swept through it, revealing a full billion High Grade Immortal Crystals inside.

This was definitely a huge fortune, but it was also normal to think about it. The other party had integrated the four major chambers of commerce and taken over the City Lord's Mansion, so they would certainly make a huge profit.

“Brother Ye, what are your next plans?”

Jing Buyun had a straightforward personality and only regarded the Young man in front of him as his Brother, so his attitude did not change much.

“Brother Jing, I was just looking for you.”

Ye Bufan said, “I remember you mentioned before that you were acquainted with the Grand Manager of the Star Plucking Tower, is that right? Can you take me there?”

“No problem, our relationship is quite good.”

Jing Buyun readily agreed. Previously, their Jing family operated the Cang Hai Chamber of Commerce, and they had a lot of dealings with the Star Plucking Tower.

The two were not life-and-death friends, but their relationship was indeed good.

Ye Bufan bid farewell to Jing Liankong and took everyone to the Star Plucking Tower.

Jing Buyun was indeed very familiar with the place. After greeting the guards at the entrance, he went directly inside and soon entered a main hall.

Sitting in the center was a thin middle-aged man in a green robe, with sharp, bright eyes. He was Grand Manager Lou Baiming, the head of the Star Plucking Tower in Lieyuan City.
