The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 590: Chapter 590 Jing Yan Building Owner

Hu Donghe’s words were the final decision.

Cheng Yu could either accept and take away ten billion Spirit Stones, or if she refused and did not accept, she wouldn’t just lose the Jade Building, but also the ten billion Spirit Stones.

Cheng Yu was a smart person. She knew that no matter what, the Jade Building would no longer belong to her.

”City Lord, I’ll follow your lead,” Cheng Yu said, unwilling at heart, but she didn’t show it and instead spoke calmly.

”Mm,” Hu Donghe nodded.

At this moment, Cheng Yu felt some regret.

She thought that if the Jade Building hadn’t gotten involved with Jing Yan, things might not have developed to this point. But now, it was too late for regrets, and she could not change the outcome.

In her regret, there was naturally hatred! Jing Yan had taken her Pill Tower; if she didn’t hate Jing Yan, that would be strange. But no matter how much she hated him, there was nothing she could do.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, I hope the Jade Building can continue to develop and grow under your care,” Cheng Yu turned and looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan just smiled, not saying much.

Next came the handover of the Jade Building.

It went smoothly. Cheng Yu did not put up any difficulties, not that she didn’t want to, but rather she didn’t dare.

This was Pill Country, and Hu Donghe controlled Pill Country. Although Cheng Yu was a member of one of the Seven Major Families, if she died in Pill Country, even her family would find it difficult to avenge her.

The owner of the Jade Building became Jing Yan, a person who held fifty-two percent of the shares.

Once the news got out, it caused a sensation.

To the average Martial Artist, the Jade Building was a huge entity, but this huge entity had changed owners overnight. How could people not be shocked and stirred?

The previous issue of Jing Yan selling Fake Pills was no longer brought up by anyone.

Jing Yan’s wealth was unimaginable to them; it was simply very, very vast. Did such a person need to sell Intermediate Fake Pills?

It was a complete joke.

”Chairman Jing Yan, congratulations!”

”Haha, I really did not expect that the Building Owner of the Jade Building would turn out to be our Youhai Commerce’s Chairman Jing Yan.”

”Chairman Jing Yan’s financial strength is truly terrifying!”

Many executives from Youhai Commerce had a visible shift in their perception of Jing Yan, growing increasingly respectful.

They didn’t know the details of how Jing Yan acquired the Jade Building, but they could guess some of it. This made them somewhat puzzled as to why City Lord Hu Donghe would support Jing Yan so much.

Of course, they did not dare to ask Jing Yan this question. They could only suppress their curiosity.

”The Jade Building is history now; from now on, it’s called the Splendid Pill Tower,” Jing Yan said with a smile to everyone.

Although those who owned shares in the Jade Building had some complaints about the change of ownership, with the support of Pill Spirit City, the alterations Jing Yan made to the Jade Building faced little resistance.

Even Mao Wei had been ousted, and even Cheng Yu, the Building Owner, had no choice. What could they do?

Oppose Jing Yan?

That would be suicidal! They were not so innocent themselves. Pill Spirit City would undoubtedly find reasons to deal with them if they wished. So, it was better to be honest and compliant.

Jing Yan had also stated that if anyone wanted to leave, they could. He would purchase their shares at market price, which reassured them a lot.

Thus, no one actively chose to leave.

Of course, another reason they didn’t leave was that the relationship between the owner of the Splendid Pill Tower and Pill Spirit City was obviously extraordinary. With Pill Spirit City backing the Splendid Pill Tower, its future development was bound to be smoother.

During the last few days of the Pill Spirit Conference, Jing Yan spent most of his time wandering the trade event, purchasing plenty of various resources. However, nothing more that could delight Jing Yan appeared.

Treasures like the Dao Essence Fruit were too rare. Even at the century-held Pill Spirit Conference, such treasures were not easy to come by. Even if one appeared, Jing Yan might not see it or be able to buy it.

After the Pill Spirit Conference concluded, Jing Yan did not immediately leave Pill Country. Prince Zhou Shangyun went back to Lanqu County alone, being the Commandery Prince there; naturally, he could not be away from Lanqu County for long.

Jing Yan remained and lived in the Splendid Pill Tower, occasionally dealing with some issues, but most of his time was spent on diligent cultivation.

Jing Yan found some particularly strong Martial Arts and integrated them into the Holy Light Sword Technique.

In just a few months, the power of the Holy Light Sword Technique had reached the limit of Human-level Martial Arts. It wouldn’t be long before it officially entered the realm of Earth-level Martial Arts.

On the Heavenly Origin Continent, Earth-level Martial Arts were rare.

Jing Yan’s own cultivation also kept growing stronger. With the aid of Divine Dao Pills, Jing Yan’s cultivation speed was simply terrifying.

In half a year, Jing Yan had reached the Peak of the Daoist Master Realm. This was still Jing Yan deliberately controlling his pace; otherwise, the time taken to reach the Peak of the Daoist Master Realm would have been even shorter.

Once he reached the Peak of the Daoist Master Realm, Jing Yan’s cultivation stalled temporarily.

The difficulty of breaking through from the Daoist Master Realm to the Daoist King Realm was too great. Even with the aid of High-level Elixirs and Divine Dao Pills, it was very hard.

Jing Yan was not in a hurry; he slowly accumulated strength. As long as the accumulation was sufficient, the breakthrough to the Daoist King Realm would naturally follow.

With the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, the Peak of the Daoist Master Realm was clearly not the end point of Jing Yan’s cultivation.

Furthermore, even if the realm breakthrough failed, Jing Yan could still refine Dragon Tiger Pills to recover his Divine Soul and gain multiple opportunities to attempt a realm breakthrough.

Time flowed like water.

One day, Jing Yan arrived beneath the mountain peaks of Pill Country in a pleasant mood because Uncle Chenxing had come.

After becoming the Building Owner of the Splendid Pill Tower in Pill Country, Jing Yan had asked President Qing Ru to send someone to bring Jing Chenxing over. Jing Yan could not focus his energy on the business of the Splendid Pill Tower; he wanted Uncle Chenxing to be in charge of its development.

Now the Splendid Pill Tower had branches in many Commanderies across the Continent, and the job was very hectic. If too much energy was spent on it, Jing Yan’s cultivation would undoubtedly suffer.

”Uncle Chenxing!” Jing Yan saw Jing Chenxing from afar and approached with a smile.

Coming along with Jing Chenxing was Jing Qingyan. Jing Qingyan had already reached the Innate Realm and was a Third-level Pill King.

Yes, Jing Qingyan could now refine First-class Third-level Elixirs.

”Pill Country! Finally, we’re here!” Jing Chenxing exclaimed, ”Jing Yan, did you call us to Pill Country because you have something for us?”

Jing Chenxing still didn’t know that the number one Pill Tower in Pill Country was now Jing Yan’s property and that it had been renamed to Splendid Pill Tower.

”Jing Yan, our Splendid Pill Tower’s business is doing very well. A trip to Pill Country, back and forth, takes one or two years. Although I also want to come to Pill Country for a look, I’m afraid it would affect the Pill Tower’s business.” Jing Qingyan was deeply devoted to the Alchemy Dao.

He was excited to hear that Jing Yan wanted him to go to Pill Country, but the thought of it possibly affecting his pill refining made him conflicted.
