y listlessly in bed, her eyes vacant. This was Ma Fenlian, the mother of Tong Xiaoxi.She has lived here for 10 days already, and she knows the situation at home very well. For her own medical treatmen..."The other party's methods are very covert, and it is difficult to find out who is behind them."

Lin Sisi said, "It's possible that in such a short time, rumors could be spread over such a wide area, and considering the grudge between you, there is only one person left."

"Are you talking about the Ministry of War"

He had his suspicions just now, and after Lin SiSi's analysis, he was even more certain.

"That's right, it must have been that old geezer Yuan Dahua who did this. He controls the military intelligence reports of the Dashun Empire in his hands, so spreading a rumor is child's play for him."

"But that's all I can guess. As for who advised him, I have no idea."

Lin Sisi said, "Yuan Dahua has probably guessed that my affairs are related to you. In the future, you must be careful. That old man is ruthless."

"I understand."

A hint of a sneer played at Ye Bufan's lips. His purpose in coming was simply to find Situ Dianmo. If the other party wanted to die, then he couldn't be blamed.

Lin Sisi said with some worry, "Dr. Ye, what do you plan to do now"

Although she didn't understand what "Dragon Sucking Stone" was, since it was a conspiracy orchestrated by Yuan Dahua, there must be something more hidden behind it.

Ye Bufan said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Even if trouble comes, it won't be until after dark. It's still early now. Let the bullets fly for a while longer."

Lin SiSi heard it but wasn't quite sure she understood. But since the other party already had a plan, she didn't need to say much more.

"Doctor Ye, I've taken over the mansion of the steward. When would you like to move in"

"Right now."

Yè Bùfán turned around and beckoned to the people inside the clinic, "Close up shop, let's go see our new home."

What he wanted for his clinic now was influence; the business hours no longer mattered. Soon everyone followed him to the steward.

I have to say, Lin Sisi is a very careful woman. After receiving the place, she immediately began to dispatch people to repair it and arranged for dozens of servants.

"Doctor Ye, I dismissed all the previous servants and replaced them with those from our Lin family. They are completely trustworthy."

"Not bad!"

Ye Bufan nodded in satisfaction. With such a large courtyard, just a few of them were still a bit lacking. It was necessary to arrange some people.

This house is so beautiful.

After entering the mansion, Lu Xue Man and the others beside her kept exclaiming.

As one of the several prominent families in the imperial city, the steward's mansion was undoubtedly opulent.

Ye Bufan was also very satisfied. It was a pretty good temporary residence.

The only downside is that the demolished houses haven't been rebuilt yet. I should have known better than to let Xiaoqing wreak havoc here.

Lin Sisi handed over the house completely and then left with her people.

Ye Bufan entrusted everything here to Lu Xueman and the others, then entered the Dragon King's Hall himself.

The news of the Dragon Absorbing Stone spreading will immediately spark bloodshed and bring endless trouble.

Before that, he had to seize the time and improve his cultivation. At any time, strength was the most important thing.

Upon arriving at the Dragon King's Palace, he took out all the high-grade spirit stones he had accumulated over time.

Hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones piled together, immediately forming a small mountain of spirit stones. The rich spiritual energy emanated, condensing into a tangible form.

"That should be enough."

Ye Bufan sat cross-legged at the center of the spirit stone, starting to circulate his chaotic true qi.

This Chaotic Cultivation Technique's origins are unknown, but it can be both yin and yang, transforming into any attribute of true qi.

And his cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast, like a powerful water pump had been activated, rapidly drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.

The only downside is that the resources consumed are terrifying. Even if ordinary people practice this technique, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

Ye Bufan's mind was completely immersed in cultivation. As time passed by, spiritual energy rapidly transformed into his true essence.

After about an hour, the imposing aura on his body surged suddenly, rapidly breaking through a critical point and finally reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Finally, I did it."

Ye Bufan was overjoyed. His current spiritual energy was powerful enough, and with the cultivation resources, breaking through would be as simple as eating and drinking.

When he saw the dozen or so high-grade spirit stones remaining at his feet, he was dumbfounded.

Just now it was still a small hill, and now there are only a few left That's too exaggerated, right

Unless he was on his own turf, he truly suspected that the spirit stone had been stolen. How could it absorb energy so quickly

Now that I've just broken through from the middle stage of integration to the later stage, so many spirit stones have been used. How many would it take from the later stage to the consummation stage

What about merging into the Great Vehicle Wouldn't that require a sky-high number of digits

Thinking about this, he got a shiver down his spine. It seems like he'll have to make more money in the future.

Never mind, I don't want to think about it too much.

Feeling the power of true energy surging within him, he knew these spirit stones weren't absorbed in vain. Now, his combat strength was absolutely terrifying.

Ye Bufan's true essence surged within him, giving him the illusion that he could destroy heaven and earth with a single punch.

He thought, and immediately a small hill appeared beside him. Then he punched it.

Only a deafening boom was heard, and the small hill, which had once stood at a height of a hundred meters, was instantly reduced to rubble by a single punch.

"Haha, money was well spent!"

Although spending hundreds of thousands of spirit stones was a bit painful, his powerful strength made him extremely excited.

"Erlang, come here and spar with me!"

In Ye Bufan's view, his cultivation had made great progress and he should have the strength to fight against Erlang.

"Come on, punch me with all your might, no, half would be enough."

Ye Bufan thought of Erlang's formidable strength, and immediately changed his order. Anyway, the other party had an immortal body and wasn't afraid of getting hurt.

Two fists collided with brutal force, followed by a deafening boom. A figure was sent flying backward, soaring for a full kilometer before crashing into a mountain peak with a devastating impact.

Ye Bufan's entire body had become a large character, embedded in the stone wall as if he were a bizarre mural.

At this moment, his blood and Qi were surging wildly within him. If it weren't for the fact that he was in control of the Dragon King Palace, he would have probably vomited blood by now.

"Um..."

Erlang, this pervert, half his strength is already this powerful, and I'm not even his match.

However, this also gave him a guess about his current strength. He could fight against a powerhouse at the late stage of the Cave Void Realm.

This ability to fight across a large level gap is absolutely terrifying.

No matter what, improving one's cultivation is the first good thing. He excitedly left the Dragon King Palace with Ye Erlang.

As the sun set, night descended. A crescent moon hung in the sky, bathing the earth in its gentle light.

After dinner, Ye Bufan sat in the courtyard with Jiang Fangzhou and others, sipping fragrant tea.

All was still and peaceful, an eerie calm hung in the air. Yet he knew this was the tranquility before the storm.

At this moment, there are at least a dozen masters hiding around. Some came for the Dragon-Sucking Stone, while others wanted to try their luck and see if they could take advantage of the situation.

It's just that everyone is hesitant to make the first move, waiting for a good opportunity.

Time passed by bit by bit, the night deepened, and finally someone couldn't bear it any longer.

"Ye, hand over the Dragon-Sucking Stone, or you'll die!"

As they were speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air and reached out to grab Ye Bufan.
