antly disappeared.Park Ji-sung lay on the ground, panting heavily. His entire body was soaked with sweat."Alright, stop playing dead and get up to sign."Su Ruyu showed no mercy to the man before her....Ye Bufan hung up the phone, stunned for a while, a self-deprecating smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

He always thought he had pure and flawless love, untouched by the materialism of society. He never expected the outcome to be like this.

The funniest thing is that Zhu Lilin actually broke up with me for money. As an inheritor of the ancient medicine sect, how could I possibly be short of money Making money is just a matter of minutes.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out two million-dollar checks. He had intended to give one to his mother and one to Zhu Linlin, but now it seemed the one for Zhu Linlin was unnecessary.

Then he also figured it out, this way was also a good thing, allowing him to see through the true face of this materialistic woman in advance. It was much better than being kept in the dark all the time.

After thinking it through, he felt much more comfortable. He took out the kitchenware he had purchased and began to refine the foundation-building pill.

Using kitchen utensils for alchemy is far inferior to using a dan furnace, but luckily the foundation-building pill isn't a high-level elixir, so it can still be made this way.

Two hours later, three dark, lumpy Foundation Establishment Pills appeared in his palm. Although they looked rough and uneven, not as beautifully crafted as those refined in a furnace, their medicinal effects were almost the same.

He took out a pill and swallowed it, then began to circulate the chaotic true qi.

The pill melted in his mouth and soon there was a reaction in his dantian, boiling like water coming to a boil.

Qi became increasingly robust and powerful, continuously washing over the seven meridians and eight collaterals within the body. Under Ye Bufan's divine sense guidance, the surging qi flowed like the mighty Yangtze River, surging through limbs and channels.

As time went on, his body was slowly filled with increasingly pure Qi. Finally, he felt like his body was about to explode.

Just when he felt he could no longer hold on, suddenly the pressure eased, and a drop of water, as small as a bean, appeared in his dantian.

Ye Bufan's divine sense clearly saw the changes within his dantian. True Qi transformed from a gaseous state to a liquid state, which was a characteristic of foundation building. In other words, he had successfully stepped into the foundation building stage.

After a while of cultivation, the surging true qi within his body was completely refined, and three drops of liquid true qi appeared in his dantian.

After a while, Ye Bufan slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he could already feel his own strength. His cultivation had increased by more than ten times compared to before the Qi Refining Stage.

At the same time, his divine sense also saw a tremendous improvement, rising from two meters to five meters. He could even see everything happening in the next room clearly.

He took a cold shower in the restroom. Checking the time, he left the hotel and went to a bank downstairs, cashing a 2 million check and depositing it into his card. Then, he headed towards the Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant as Qin Chuchu had mentioned.

The Dong family has unique experience in running catering businesses. As soon as the Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant opened, it became a rising star in the Jiangnan City catering industry, with booming popularity.

The entire restaurant is built in a retro style, looking resplendent with gold and splendor. It's both antique and grand while still retaining an air of luxury.

The hotel staff, one by one, were tall and beautiful, their cheongsam dresses highlighting their slender figures, making them even more charming and alluring.

After he entered, a waiter immediately approached him, "Sir, do you have a reservation"

"Room Number 1 VIP Suite."

Ye Bufan exposed Qin Chuchu's reserved room number.

"Sir, please follow me."

The waiter respectfully led him to the VIP room on the top floor. Qin Chuchu hadn't arrived yet, so the waiter poured a glass of water and retreated.

Ye Bufan sat on the leather sofa, looking around. Although there were only two of them dining, the private room was at least thirty or forty square meters in size and decorated extremely luxuriously. The sofa was made of genuine leather, and the tableware was crafted from pure silver.

He had lived an extremely poor life since he was a child. This was his first time in such a high-end place, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "The rich really know how to enjoy themselves."

At this moment, his phone in his pocket rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Dong Tianda calling.

After the call connected, Dong Tian reached out politely and said: "Dr. Ye, where are you Didn't I say I would send you a wine shop that day The procedures have just been completed, so I'll send it to you now."

Ye Bufan said, "I am at the No. 1 VIP Room of Drunk Jiangnan Restaurant."

Dong Tianda said, "Really That's quite a coincidence. Our Dong family wants to give you this Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant. I'm nearby and will be there in a moment."

Yè Búfán hung up the phone, and a wave of emotion washed over him. Such a luxurious restaurant must cost at least tens of millions, yet it was about to become his.

A few days ago, he was still a poor boy who couldn't even afford one hundred dollars. Unexpectedly, he became a millionaire in such a short time.

Just a few hours ago, my girlfriend kicked me out because of money. What a twist of fate.

Lost in thought, he absentmindedly knocked over the water glass in front of him.

Normally, in such a high-end place, he wouldn't have to do it himself. He could just call a waiter over to clean up.

But he was a poor child, accustomed to not bothering others. He reached over and grabbed the nearby tissue paper, starting to wipe up the water on the table.

At that moment, the door to the private room swung open, and two people walked in.

He thought it was Qin Chuchu who had come, but when he turned around, he saw a young couple standing at the door.

The man was about 30 years old. He wore a well-tailored suit and had an extravagant gold watch on his wrist, giving him the image of a successful person.

The woman beside him looked more alluring, wearing a pink dress, carrying a purplish-red bag, and sporting a green jade bracelet on her hand.

"It's you, how did you get here"

"Ye Bufan said in surprise."

He didn't know the young man, but the woman was his ex-girlfriend Zhu Linlin. He hadn't expected to see her so soon after they had just broken up.

"Of course I'm here to eat. As for you, how did you end up here"

Zhu Linlin was also having her first meal at such a high-end establishment. As soon as she stepped inside, she was stunned by the luxurious decor of the restaurant.

Just now, she was still sighing that if she followed Ye Bufan, she might never be able to enter such a high-end place in her life. She didn't expect to meet the two of them here unexpectedly.

"Is that even a question It's clearly one of the waiters here." Before Ye Bufan could speak, the young man interjected, "Linlin, do you know this person"

"Honey, this is my ex-boyfriend Ye Bufan, as I told you. But now I've dumped him."

She then said to Ye Bufan, "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Ma Wenbo, the young master of the Ma family."

"Mawenbo glanced disdainfully at Ye Bufan and said, "Ex-boyfriend, Linlin, I really don't understand what you were thinking before How could you find such a poor man as your boyfriend"

Zhu Linlin exclaimed, "I was young and didn't understand love back then. I was fooled by this poor wretch."

"Ye Bufan said coldly, "Zhu Linlin, I have no objection to your breakup, but let's break up amicably. When have I ever deceived you"

"If it weren't for your sweet talk, there's no way I would have fallen for you. You're so poor, even your pockets are cleaner than your face!"

Ye Bufan's heart rose with a surge of anger, and he retorted, "When did I ever use flowery language It was you who chased after me in the beginning, wasn't it"

"Alright, who are you to talk to my woman like that"

"Mawenbo said with a look of arrogance: "What happened before is in the past. Aren't you a hotel attendant Now my shoes are dirty, wipe them for me."Master He, it's no problem for an old man to have a cup as well, right""This..."He Changqing's expression became complicated for a moment, not knowing what to say. Even if he was foolish, he could tel...
