You looked helplessly at Old Wang.

Old Wang wore an innocent expression.

But in the end, you didn’t send Old Wang away.

“Hey, I chose myself, idol!”

You took Old Wang back to the manor and entrusted him with the related matters.

You personally had no special habits regarding food, clothing, housing, or transportation; you were simply addicted to cultivation every day without any distraction.

Therefore, Old Wang quickly managed the manor from top to bottom in an orderly fashion.

The manor also added quite a few servants and guards.

Your manor had truly become a prestigious noble estate.

Back then, these noble estates were the very objects you targeted for automatic pickup.

You never expected that you would unknowingly stand on the opposite side of your former self.

You, the dragon slayer youth, had become a nurturing dragon.

The following year,

After finishing the manor’s affairs, you purchased a large piece of mountain forest and continued your zoo business.

You raised various birds and beasts with second-grade Blood Beast Pills, treating these little animals as if they were your own children.

You ran back and forth between the manor and the zoo every day, which was quite troublesome.

During the period of raising animals, you didn’t neglect your cultivation.

At the end of the same year, after swallowing the last Internal Spirit Pill of your life,

The Source Power inside your body began to surge and sweep uncontrollably.

The spacious and sturdy cultivation chamber shook and swayed.

Your face brightened with joy: “Power incoming!!”

In less than a quarter of an hour, your entire Source Power suddenly exploded!

The pure and condensed Source Power stepped up to another level, quickly reaching the early stage of Dragon Transformation.

The Source Power inside began to nourish your body, and your physical body gained profound enhancement.

The previous Essence Refining stage was equivalent to integrating the parts strengthened separately during Skin Refining, Bone Tempering, Marrow Washing, and Organ Fortifying stages.

It began to unify the human body into a harmonious whole.

Dragon Transformation was a comprehensive tempering of this whole.

After ascending to Dragon Transformation, your physical body received an epic-level enhancement.

This meant you could finally unleash your Source Power at full strength without worrying about physical collapse!

At this point, you officially entered the Ultimate Dragon Transformation realm!

Your true combat strength could now rival top Ultimate Grandmasters like Yan Zhixue.

Internal Spirit Pills no longer provided significant benefits to your cultivation; you had to use sixth-grade Essence Pills for auxiliary training.

Sixth-grade pills were nothing for a pill refiner like you, who was only one step away from eighth grade.

You were very happy to become a complete Ultimate Grandmaster warrior.

“It’s time to visit the Danxia Sect, wonder if those two old elders are still there.”

One day, you arrived at the Danxia Sect.

Several people were on guard at the gate, and you found one of the servants named Guo Lan, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Servants ranked even below ordinary disciples, only able to do trivial chores.

You explained your purpose to Guo Lan guarding the gate. After confirming with the others on duty, Guo Lan took you into the Danxia Sect.

Walking inside, a familiar feeling washed over you.

You could find every corner of the Danxia Sect even with your eyes closed.

Guo Lan brought you to an ancient and elegant reception room.

After sitting down, Guo Lan asked, “Young Master, do you want us to help improve the pill recipe?”

“Yes, I have a second-grade pill that strengthens beast physiques. Help me improve it to at least fourth grade, preferably fifth.”

Although you could improve the Blood Beast Pills yourself, you needed to establish a trust relationship with the Danxia Sect this way.

Then you could exchange the Reviving Yang Pill with Xie Huide.

Guo Lan was shocked: “Fifth grade?! That would require at least a sixth-grade pill refiner to customize!”

“Don’t you have sixth-grade or even seventh-grade elders?”

Guo Lan looked at you with slight surprise: “Young Master, have you researched our Danxia Sect beforehand?”

“Not much, just a little.”

Guo Lan nodded: “Your request is indeed only something the elders can handle.”

You asked, “Can I designate a certain Tony... I mean, an elder to help improve it?”

“Theoretically, yes.”

You chuckled lightly: “There are seven elders in total, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then it’s the Seventh Elder. Sounds like the least impressive one, pretty cheap.” Your smile was utterly shameless.

Guo Lan’s expression turned troubled: “It seems Young Master really doesn’t know much about our Danxia Sect. The Seventh Elder is the highest pill refining elder after the sect leader and also the hardest to invite!”

You were surprised: “Why so hard to invite?”

“Our Seventh Elder barely concerns himself with sect affairs, dedicating himself entirely to his lover!”

“Well, that just means he can come down to rest!”

Guo Lan’s face tightened. Not knowing what expression to make, he could only awkwardly smile: “Young Master really knows how to joke!”

You chuckled: “So your Seventh Elder is a devoted romantic?”

“Extremely passionate and loyal!”

You raised an eyebrow: “Then why have I seen him visit brothels?”

Guo Lan instantly froze, stammering: “Uh... that’s because... uh... forget it, Young Master wouldn’t believe it anyway. Better designate another elder.”

You smiled faintly: “No, I won’t change from the Seventh Elder. I’m not in a hurry. When he has time, he can come to my manor and talk to me.”

You left the address of He Manor and placed the Blood Beast Pills recipe directly on the table, then left the Danxia Sect.

Guo Lan looked conflicted but could only watch you leave.

You returned to the manor.

Just as you stepped inside, Old Wang came up to greet you: “Master, just now Liu Yuanwai from the west of the city sent a letter of visit!”

You knew Liu Yuanwai, a man with modest wealth. He had a very beautiful daughter, a well-known lady from a distinguished family nearby.

Liu Yuanwai was always thinking of marrying his daughter into a good family to elevate his social status.

You opened and read it; Liu Yuanwai stated he wished to visit tomorrow.

You felt very pleased. Since Liu Yuanwai wanted to probe your background, it meant your persona was very successful.

After all, you recently bought a large mansion, a mountain forest, and invested in many restaurants and pawnshops in Youtong County.

Clearly, you looked like the son of a prestigious noble family.

To consolidate your image, you played along: “Old Wang, prepare a table. I’ll have a few drinks with Liu Yuanwai.”

“Yes, Master!”

Just as you were about to step into the cultivation chamber, you suddenly remembered something and turned back: “Old Wang, just call me Young Master. Sounds younger.”

Old Wang was stunned, then immediately corrected himself: “Alright, Young Master!”

The next day,

The big-bellied Liu Yuanwai had already drunk three rounds with you and was somewhat drunk.

He had asked all the questions he needed, and you had fabricated the answers you wanted.

Liu Yuanwai’s eyes flicked, finally testing: “Meeting Young Master He today, truly talented and distinguished. May I ask if you are married?”

You smiled calmly: “Not married.”

Liu Yuanwai’s eyes brightened: “Oh? In that case, I have a young daughter, both beautiful and wise...”

“Liu Yuanwai!” You interrupted.

“Yes, Young Master He?”

You smiled: “Liu Yuanwai, to be honest, I have never been with a woman in my life. I have no interest in women. My happiest times are every month cultivating with my senior brothers!”

Liu Yuanwai was stunned for a long moment, then left sulkily.

Soon, rumors spread in Youtong County’s wealthy and noble circles that you preferred men.

You completely ignored these rumors, knowing that once your only good friend appeared, the rumors would collapse without effort.

You continued your cultivation day after day.

Two months later,

You completed your first Source Power condensation, and your Ultimate Dragon Transformation strength improved another level.

Your martial talent rivaled the top disciples of the five major sects, already bringing a noticeable boost to your cultivation speed.

One day, while you were cultivating,

Guo Lan, who had served you at the Danxia Sect, came to your manor.

Guo Lan told the gatekeeper your purpose outside the gate, and the gatekeeper immediately went to call Old Wang.

Old Wang cupped his hands to Guo Lan: “Young brother, I am Wang Zizhou, steward of He Manor. What brings you to see our Young Master He?”

Guo Lan cupped hands politely: “Greetings, Steward Wang. I am from the Danxia Sect...”

“Wait a moment!” Old Wang quickly interrupted. “My surname is Wang!”

Guo Lan suddenly felt embarrassed and was about to correct himself. You heard the voice and came out.

You directly asked, “Did your Seventh Elder from the Danxia Sect agree to help me improve the pill recipe?”

Guo Lan quickly raised his head and replied, “Yes, Young Master He. Also, the Seventh Elder really wants to ask where your Blood Beast Pills recipe came from?”
