After the celebration banquet, Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue were both blind drunk. Villagers carried them to the guest rooms in Zhang Bin's villa to sleep it off. Zhang Bin, of course, wasn't drunk at all. He sat on the sofa in the villa's living room, carefully calculating the gains from his trip to America.

First, he had acquired a massive fortune. He had won 2.3 billion USD from outside bets. During the competition, he won another 1 billion USD betting against other contestants. The reward for winning the World King of Gamblers title was 1.5 billion USD, and adding in the chips he won, it came to about 1.6 billion USD. In total, he had gained 4.9 billion USD.

Second, he had obtained a necklace with defensive power and a 2.3-billion-year-old Ancient Fan. He also acquired five Space Rings, which contained some Spiritual Medicine.

Third, he had acquired a Flying Saucer.

The gains from this trip were truly immense.

A radiant smile spread across Zhang Bin's face as he murmured, "Heh, 4.9 billion USD. I'm rich now."

When Xiao Fang and Liu Ruolan heard that Zhang Bin had returned from the World King of Gamblers competition with a fortune of 4.9 billion USD, they were thoroughly shaken. Father Zhang and Mother Zhang were completely dumbfounded. They found it hard to believe it was real; the amount was simply too shocking.

Meanwhile, Zhang Bin continued to take stock of his gains and suddenly realized another one. He had tested the medicinal properties of many American plants and had obtained all the ingredients needed to create Evergreen Pills and Overlord Body Pills. He could now refine these two types of Elixirs.

He immediately returned to Lingyao Valley, took all the medicinal herbs out of the Space Rings, and planted them in an open area with the help of his numerous pets. Of course, Liu Ruomei also rode Hong Ya over to help.

Zhang Bin had now dug a cave in Lingyao Valley. Liu Ruomei would visit from time to time to decorate it, making it breathtakingly beautiful. This cave had naturally become the love nest for Zhang Bin and Liu Ruomei—no, no, that's wrong. It was the love nest for Chen Junheng, Zhang Bin's alter ego, and Liu Ruomei.

Liu Ruomei spent most of her time cultivating here. In reality, she just liked having a place to meet her lover.

Zhang Bin had also moved the Pill Furnace into the cave, where he could perform alchemy without any disturbances. Of course, that was just a lie. His real goal was to have an excuse to date Liu Ruomei.

After all the medicinal herbs were planted, Zhang Bin admired them happily for a moment before scooping Liu Ruomei into his arms and jumping into the pool. "Baby, let's take a mandarin duck bath together."

"You Big Bad Egg..." Liu Ruomei collapsed softly into Zhang Bin's arms.

Three hours and a healthy bout of exercise later, Liu Ruolan called, which was a rare occurrence. "Honey, why aren't you back yet?"

Clearly, she was urging Zhang Bin to come home and turn in his 'homework.'

"I'm with your sister planting the delicate medicinal herbs from America. They need to be handled carefully. I'm almost done, so I'll be back soon," Zhang Bin said.

After Zhang Bin hung up, Liu Ruomei's face flushed red. She gave him a coquettish glance. "Big Bad Egg, will you still be able to turn in your 'homework' later?"

"Don't worry, I definitely can," Zhang Bin said, his face full of confidence.

A blissful night left Zhang Bin ecstatically content.

The next day, Zhang Bin immediately mailed out the betting slips. Three days later, his winnings were deposited into his account. The Paradise Casino had an excellent reputation.

Ma Rufei's and Chen Chaoyue's winnings were also deposited into their accounts. Zhang Bin then paid back the 3 billion USD he owed them in full.

Zhang Bin felt a wave of relief. Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, on the other hand, were now filthy rich, as they had each won 2.3 billion USD as well. Overjoyed to the point of madness, they spent their days in a whirlwind of revelry, frequently visiting Sanchahe Village to have fun.

Zhang Bin, however, began refining the Evergreen Pills and Overlord Body Pills. In just two hours, he had produced a furnace-full of each, yielding nine Evergreen Pills and nine Overlord Body Pills respectively.

The Evergreen Pill was a lush, jade-like green and exquisitely beautiful. It emanated a tempting fragrance so potent that a single sniff could leave one intoxicated.

The Overlord Body Pill was the color of flames and emitted a wild, violent aura.

Without hesitation, Zhang Bin swallowed an Evergreen Pill to test its medicinal properties.

The Evergreen Pill was very gentle, as soft and tender as new spring grass. Its medicinal power slowly diffused throughout his body, integrating into every part of him. Each of his cells greedily devoured and absorbed the power.

His cells grew more active, and the life force they contained became more majestic. Zhang Bin actually became younger.

Almost simultaneously, his body began to rapidly generate True Qi, which surged into his Dantian.

Zhang Bin hurriedly consumed half a Spirit Stone. The stone rapidly dissolved into Spiritual Energy, which his body absorbed and converted into True Qi at an incredible rate. The effect was much better than that of a True Essence Pill.

By the time the medicinal power of the single Evergreen Pill was exhausted, Zhang Bin had consumed a total of three Spirit Stones. This meant one Evergreen Pill could facilitate the conversion of three Spirit Stones into True Qi, whereas a True Essence Pill could only handle two. The effect was truly far superior.

"What a treasure, a truly marvelous treasure! Now our Taiqing Sect can grow powerful swiftly!" Zhang Bin stopped his cultivation, his face lit with extreme elation and excitement.

Next, he began testing the potency and effects of the Overlord Body Pill by giving one to Xiao Qian.

As soon as Xiao Qian swallowed it, her whole body trembled, and her fur stood on end, making her look like a bristling fox. An incredibly powerful aura erupted from within her, flooding the cave like a surging tide.

Perhaps because the Demon Qi was so dense, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning seemed to brew within them. The air grew oppressive.

Xiao Qian can't be about to form a core, can she? Zhang Bin could feel the change, and shock appeared on his face.

He knew that when the Savage Overbearing Body Art was cultivated to a certain point, the practitioner would form a core. Once core formation began, it would trigger a Heavenly Tribulation. Only those who successfully endured the Heavenly Tribulation could complete the process and be considered true Monsters, beings of incredible power comparable to a Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm.

Has Xiao Qian been cultivating so fast that she's already about to form a core? If so, she isn't far from transforming into a beautiful woman. The memory of the peerless beauty from his dream made his heart pound wildly, and anticipation was written all over his face.

A peerless beauty transformed from a Fox Spirit was something every man dreamed of and longed to possess.

Xiao Qian suddenly devoured two Spirit Stones and resumed her frenzied cultivation of the Savage Overbearing Body Art. The aura she was emitting began to rapidly diminish, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dissipated.

This only made Zhang Bin more excited. It seemed Xiao Qian was learning to control the Demon Qi in her body, which meant core formation was not far off.

About two hours later, Xiao Qian finally refined the Elixir. She opened her eyes and proudly held her tails high.

Zhang Bin was then astounded to discover that Xiao Qian had grown a third tail, much smaller than the other two.

I wonder how much longer it will take her to grow the other six tails? With a fervent expression, Zhang Bin cried out in his heart.
