Ye Tian continuously struck himself, starting with thirty percent of his strength, then slowly increasing it: thirty-five percent, forty percent, fifty percent, until he was striking himself with seventy-five percent of his power.
Each blow was painful, causing significant damage to his body. But at the same time, the cells in the struck areas began to rapidly absorb the immortal energy stored previously.
Seeing him like this, Lin Ziyi looked worried and said, "Brother Tian, stop hitting yourself. You shouldn't push yourself so hard even when practicing."
Ye Tian replied, "Ziyi, I'm fine. Call the imperial kitchen and ask them to send food over tonight."
Lin Ziyi had no choice but to go and arrange the evening meal.
When it was time to eat, Ye Tian, covered in purple and blue bruises, went to eat without his shirt on. Due to his injuries, he couldn't wear clothes for a while.
Seeing the palm prints all over his body, Wei Ziqian was shocked. "Brother Ye Tian, what happened to you? Did someone hit you?"
Lin Ziyi said, "He's fine. He hit himself."
Wei Ziqian covered her mouth. "Brother Ye Tian hit himself?"
Lin Ziyi explained, "He's practicing. He's fine."
Ye Tian wolfed down his meal and then went to the back garden to practice again, as if possessed. Lin Ziyi shook her head.
Ye Tian practiced almost all night. By the time the moon rose, and he was absorbing the moonlight again, the speed at which his inner core absorbed the moonlight had clearly increased.
The next morning, he continued to absorb the essence of the sun.
At this point, his inner core was still emitting golden and purple light. The purple light refined the spirit, and the golden light refined the form. His injuries had already disappeared, and he felt as if he had undergone a complete transformation. His primordial spirit had become relatively stable, and his body had become even more robust, subtly touching upon some deeper levels of existence.
That morning, Yang Guji came again. In the past two days, he had suddenly become calm and composed, unlike his restless state in the preceding days. Yesterday, he had even received a mysterious phone call from someone who stated they would no longer trouble the Yang family, assuring them they could relax.
Therefore, after confirming that the Yang family was safe, Yang Guji immediately came to thank Ye Tian.
Yang Guji said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, my family's matters should be resolved. I have already instructed the finance department to transfer ten billion yuan to the account you designated."
Ye Tian replied, "Mm, don't forget the five percent equity."
Yang Guji said, "I won't forget. Within two to three days, I will have someone complete the equity transfer agreement with you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Tian called Lin Ziyi over and said, "Ziyi, go to Haijing Company then and collect the five percent equity."
Lin Ziyi was surprised. "Haijing Company? I remember it's a very large listed company."
Yang Guji chuckled. "Yes, it's the company my son, Yang Haijing, founded. Its current market value is about three hundred and fifty billion."
Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "You are Mr. Yang, the elder. I've heard so much about you. Our boss, Mr. Yang, mentions you often."
Yang Guji quickly asked, "Oh, and who is the young lady's boss?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "Mr. Yang Shoucheng."
Yang Guji smiled. "So it's him. We have a very good relationship. We helped each other during times of hardship."
Ye Tian said, "Oh, you know Yang Shoucheng very well?"
Yang Guji replied, "More than just well; we're even related. My wife is Yang Shoucheng's elder cousin."
Ye Tian nodded. "Old Yang and I are also friends."
Yang Guji laughed heartily. "That's excellent!"
Ye Tian said, "Mr. Yang, if you need anything in the future, you can call me."
Yang Guji asked, "Mr. Ye, may I know who was targeting my Yang family?"
Ye Tian replied, "A very powerful force. If I hadn't intervened, your Yang family would have been utterly ruined."
Yang Guji trembled all over. "Mr. Ye, is that person truly so lawless?"
Ye Tian was silent for a few seconds. "You should know very well, given your current status, that there is always a small group of people who possess special privileges. They can indeed do as they please!"
