Although Liu Sanming had no intention of getting involved with Yang Ziru, he was curious to see what tricks she was playing.

The saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket" was something he understood from a young age.

Even though the Li Family mother and daughter were very kind to him, he still wanted to maintain a connection with the Yang Family while suppressing them.

In case one day, he falls out with the Li Family, the Yang Family would be an escape route.

After agreeing on a meeting time for the next day, Liu Sanming hung up the phone.

That night, he sat cross-legged for meditation until dawn, when he suddenly sensed a violent surge of Profound Qi in his dantian!

It unexpectedly broke through its limits in one go and condensed into a gaseous treasure pearl.

Upon introspection, this gaseous treasure pearl was soft and sticky, and it could float with Liu Sanming's thoughts.

He was excited as he examined it!

The Joyful Divine Skill, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally progressed from the Three-Layered Dragon and Tiger Qi to the Fourth-Layer Treasure Pearl Embryo.

Under his perception, Liu Sanming found that his Profound Qi was much stronger and thicker.

With a slight clench of his fist, his strength was also greater.

Yet, amid his excitement, Liu Sanming also realized that his cultivation progress was slowing down.

The time it took to advance from the third layer to the fourth layer was too long.

And the step from the fourth layer to the fifth layer would be even harder.

To accelerate his cultivation, there was only one way.

He must obtain the batch of herbs promised by the Yue Family as soon as possible, start refining elixirs, and have the woman he liked take them, then collect human herbs amidst love-making, using the Furnace and Cauldron Technique.

After contemplating, Liu Sanming decided to ask Yue Dongmeng about the herbs tomorrow.

The Yue Family Sisters had witnessed his method of defeating Xu Wan'Er, and also saw Mo Qianchi bowing meekly before him.

He didn't believe they wouldn't inform Yue Dongmeng about this.

Once informed, Yue Dongmeng would certainly hold him in greater reverence and seek his patronage.

Just as Liu Sanming prepared to continue his internal energy cultivation, he suddenly heard a faint sound outside.

Due to his recent breakthrough in Profound Skill, Liu Sanming's perception was exceptionally keen now.

He could hear Zhao Jinxi's faint snores next door and the voice from his sister-in-law Zhao Xue's room much further away.

This noise seemed like his sister-in-law had gotten up to drink water, seemingly having trouble sleeping.

Could it be that his sister-in-law encountered some trouble?

Is someone giving her a hard time at the new company?

A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Sanming's eyes.

If someone really dared to bully his sister-in-law, he certainly wouldn't let it slide!

But everything would have to wait for tomorrow when he would call Sun Yuanyuan to inquire about it.

He continued to focus on his cultivation, and before he knew it, the night had passed.

The next day, Liu Sanming went to work at Massage City as usual.

In the meantime, he called Sun Yuanyuan.

Sun Yuanyuan had been at the new company lately, and she assured him that no one dared to bully Zhao Xue there.

Moreover, knowing Zhao Xue was Liu Sanming's sister-in-law, everyone was currying favor with her.

This made Liu Sanming curious about what exactly was causing his sister-in-law's restless sleep.

After the previous incident, Lu Xiaoyue had also learned to curry favor.

She often visited Liu Sanming's medical room to flatter, which made Zheng Fang quite annoyed.

But Zheng Fang, being the head of the medical office, didn't dare speak up against the deputy manager.

At the moment, Liu Sanming had little interest in either of them and spent the morning chatting casually.

In the afternoon, he received a call and went out.

A white Mercedes was parked outside, and standing beside it was Xu Wan'Er.

Meeting again after just a day, she was once again reverent to Liu Sanming, dressed not in a robe but in a light blue denim dress with a chiffon blouse.

She exuded a pure and celestial aura.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for gracing us with your presence. I hope your conversation with Miss Yang goes well later," Xu Wan'Er said with a smile.

"You're welcome, let's go," Liu Sanming replied faintly as he got into the car, glancing at her.

However, after the car had driven for a while, Xu Wan'Er suddenly pulled over to the side.

Just as Liu Sanming was puzzled, Xu Wan'Er pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a message.

"Mr. Liu, there is a listening device of Yang Ziru in the car, so it's safer to communicate this way."

Liu Sanming was taken aback upon reading this.

He hadn't expected that even after yesterday's lesson, Yang Ziru would still dare to play games with him.

He took the pen and wrote three words on the paper, "Hongmen Banquet?"

Xu Wan'Er nodded slightly and then wrote another message.

"If Mr. Liu is willing to promise me something, I'm willing to tell you all about Yang Ziru's arrangements."

But Liu Sanming was no weakling.

At a glance, he smiled coldly and wrote back, "You have no room to negotiate."

Xu Wan'Er feared this response.

Her delicate face turned pale, and in the next moment, she unexpectedly pulled down her collar, revealing a pair of snow-white breasts.

The contours were full, delicate and white, smooth to the touch.

But what caught Liu Sanming's attention and made his eyes narrow sharply were the two embroidered symbols on those voluptuous breasts!

"Mr. Liu, do you recognize them?"

After letting him observe for several seconds, Xu Wan'Er straightened her collar and continued writing on the paper.

Liu Sanming nodded.

He took the paper and replied, "Now you have the qualifications to negotiate. What do you want?"

"I want an antidote from Mo Qianchi's safe; he used poison to control my body, and I want to detoxify and regain my freedom."

"Deal."

The negotiation concluded between them.

Then Xu Wan'Er disclosed all of Yang Ziru's scheming for the day to Liu Sanming.

After reading it all, Liu Sanming couldn't help but snicker.

These tricks were so laughable; even without Xu Wan'Er's disclosure, Yang Ziru was doomed to fail today.

The reason he agreed to Xu Wan'Er's request was because of the embroidered mystical symbols on her breasts.

These symbols were also recorded in the true teachings of the Joyful Buddha.

It was a reduced version of the secret symbols of the Joyful Divine Skill.

Compared to the true teachings, it was much simplified and its power significantly reduced.

This symbol was called the Jade Liquid Pool!

Among the various dual cultivation techniques, most are practiced at the cost of harming a woman's body.

Because of this, Liu Sanming rarely used dual cultivation methods, only collecting some Primordial Yin Qi during intimacy.

The elixir he intended to refine next would also collect better Primordial Yin while nurturing the female body, beneficial to both parties.

But the Jade Liquid Pool was an extremely vicious dual cultivation technique!

It involves selecting a young woman and embroidering the Jade Liquid Pool symbols on her breasts, which become like reservoirs for storing Primordial Yin.

From then on, day and night, it gathers the woman's Primordial Yin Qi in her breasts, as if accumulating Jadescent Nectar.

Only waiting for the master to ultimately collect it through mysterious methods.

Once collected, the woman is either sickly for life or dies immediately.

Xu Wan'Er likely only knew that the Primordial Yin in the Jade Liquid Pool was beneficial for Liu Sanming's cultivation.

However, she didn't realize that being harvested would cause irreparable harm to herself.

At this point, Liu Sanming didn't plan on informing her.

Soon, the car arrived at a restaurant in the eastern suburbs.

The restaurant, owned by the Yang Family, typically didn't host many guests, claiming to serve royal private cuisine with only four tables daily.

But each table costs hundreds of thousands.

Today, to host Liu Sanming, they even closed for business.

Upon entering with Xu Wan'Er, a voluptuous waitress greeted them.

Her fragrance was overwhelming, and her eyes sparkled with an alluring charm.

Xu Wan'Er smiled at Liu Sanming and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for coming. I hope you and Miss Yang have a pleasant conversation."

Liu Sanming gave her a sidelong glance and replied nonchalantly, "It's my pleasure, let's go."

But after the car had driven some distance, Xu Wan'Er suddenly stopped by the roadside.

Just as Liu Sanming was puzzled, he saw Xu Wan'Er take a piece of paper and a pen from her bag and write a message.

"Mr. Liu, there's a listening device from Yang Ziru in the car, chatting like this is safer."

Liu Sanming looked and was taken aback.

He didn't expect Yang Ziru to still be playing tricks on him even after yesterday's lesson.

He took the pen and wrote three words, "Hongmen Banquet?"

Xu Wan'Er nodded slightly and wrote another message.

If Mr. Liu is willing to give me something in return, I am willing to tell you all about Yang Ziru's plans."

But Liu Sanming is not someone to be underestimated.

He read her message and coldly chuckled, then wrote, "You have no bargaining power."

Xu Wan'Er was precisely afraid of this response.

Her pretty face turned pale, and the next moment she unexpectedly pulled down her collar, revealing a pair of snow-white breasts.

Their contours were full and smooth, and against them were two embroidered symbols!

"Mr. Liu, do you recognize these?"

After letting Liu Sanming look for over ten seconds, Xu Wan'Er adjusted her collar and continued writing a message on the paper.

Liu Sanming nodded his head.

He took the paper and responded, "Now you have the right to negotiate. What do you want?"

"An antidote from Mo Qianchi's safe; he poisoned my body, and I want to regain my freedom."

"Deal."

After the negotiation, Xu Wan'Er revealed to Liu Sanming everything Yang Ziru had planned for that day.

Liu Sanming thought the plans were ludicrous and even without Xu Wan'Er's intervention, Yang Ziru was bound to fail today.

As for the reason behind his agreement, the mysterious symbols embroidered on Xu Wan'Er's chest were recorded in the true teachings of the Joyful Buddha.

These symbols represented a debased version of the Joyful Divine Skill.

This symbol was called the Jade Liquid Pool!

In many dual cultivation techniques, the methods exploit women's bodies for cultivation.

That is precisely why Liu Sanming rarely practiced dual cultivation, only collecting some Primordial Yin Qi during mutual intimacy.

The elixir he intended to refine next would nurture the female body while gathering better Primordial Yin to both their benefit.

However, the Jade Liquid Pool was an extremely insidious dual cultivation technique!

It involved selecting a young maiden, embroidering the Jade Liquid Pool symbols on her breasts, and then preserving her Primordial Yin Qi within, as if accumulating Jadescent Nectar.

Only when the master wanted to collect it would the moment of harvesting come, and it would cause irreversible harm to the woman.

Xu Wan'Er likely only thought the Primordial Yin in the Jade Liquid Pool would be a valuable resource for Liu Sanming's cultivation.

However, he did not plan to reveal the harm to her.

Soon, they arrived at a restaurant in the eastern suburbs.

The Yang Family owned this secluded restaurant, which normally only served four tables, each costing a small fortune.

But today, it was closed to accommodate Liu Sanming.

Upon entering with Xu Wan'Er, they were greeted by a seductive waitress.

She was exuding a captivating fragrance, and her gaze seemed electrifying and especially alluring.

The scent was clearly made from a kind of bewitching perfume.

It was evidently a scheme by Yang Ziru!
