Chapter 152 Another Increase [3rd Update]

The benefits of breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation were obvious. Since Ge Dongxu had broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation, not only did he feel an abundance of True Qi and strength throughout his body, but his success rate in drawing talismans had also increased significantly.

Drawing the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade had become much easier than before, no longer like the previous times when he didn't have even a bit of confidence in each attempt. Therefore, this time Ge Dongxu only spent seven days, and after using seventy pieces, he successfully drew a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade.

And this success was not due to luck; it was Ge Dongxu's normal level of performance.

Having only used seventy pieces for a successful drawing of a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade, Ge Dongxu was naturally ecstatic. This success rate meant he would save a lot of expenses.

However, it was only at midnight, while sitting cross-legged alone in the courtyard cultivating, that Ge Dongxu realized he had celebrated too early.

He was like a child growing taller; with the increase in height came an increase in his appetite.

With the breakthrough in his realm, the amount of moonlight gathered by a single Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade was no longer sufficient for his cultivation needs. Usually, with the help of the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade during a single midnight practice, he would definitely feel a significant increase in his cultivation, but today, he found almost no progress.

Darn, it seemed that he would need at least two Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans to proceed. Once midnight passed, Ge Dongxu slowly opened his eyes with a very subtle expression.

One Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade was not enough for his cultivation, which meant he had made great progress—an undoubtedly good thing. However, it also meant that he needed to buy more Jade Tokens, and at that moment, his bank card was already running low on funds.

But having started earning money at such a young age for cultivation, Ge Dongxu could not put the cart before the horse and skimp on buying Jade Tokens to save money.

It seemed he needed to make a trip to the bank for a loan, then head to the Provincial Capital, and it was also a good opportunity to deliver the prepared medicinal wine to Sister Liu. Ge Dongxu quickly made up his mind.

...

The next morning, after greeting his parents, Ge Dongxu left Ge Family Village.

Once in Changxi County, Ge Dongxu first dropped off the medicinal wine at Cheng Yazhou's house, collected some factory certificates, and then went to the Industrial and Commercial Bank.

"I thought you big boss had forgotten about me. What brings you to see me today?" As she opened the office door, Yuan Li smiled while pouring a cup of water for Ge Dongxu and spoke with a laugh.

Yuan Li was still dressed in her office attire, a white blouse and a tight-fitting black pencil skirt that wrapped tightly around her hips, showing off her full, silky legs as always—plump and sexy. And perhaps because people feel spirited during happy events, she looked exceptionally youthful and beautiful today.

"Heh, I'm short on money again, so this time I'm thinking of re-mortgaging the factory that I redeemed last time, to borrow some money from the bank," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"You, always remember your sister when it's time for a loan!" With a laugh, Yuan Li lightly tapped Ge Dongxu's forehead with her jade finger. The charm that is unique to mature women made Ge Dongxu's heart involuntarily flutter.

"Heh, that's not it. Besides the loan, I also wanted to come see you," Ge Dongxu hastily said.

"Really?" Yuan Li asked.

"Really, really," Ge Dongxu hurriedly nodded.

"That's more like it." Yuan Li finally smiled happily, and after a while, she became serious and said, "Dongxu, I really want to thank you for last time."

"Sister Li, isn't that like treating me as an outsider?" Ge Dongxu said.

"Alright, alright, you said not to treat you as an outsider, so today I want to cook a few dishes for you myself. Come to my place for dinner," Yuan Li said.

With the conversation reaching this point, Ge Dongxu naturally couldn't refuse. He smiled and nodded, "I never imagined that Bank Manager Sister is also a beautiful chef. I definitely have to try your cooking."

"What's beautiful? I'm an old woman already!" Yuan Li rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu and spat, but her expression clearly showed she enjoyed Ge Dongxu calling her a beautiful chef.

"Not at all, Sister, you are in the prime of your life," Ge Dongxu quickly said.

"Giggle, you have such sweet talk, and you're handsome, plus you have money and abilities. If you go to university in the future, I don't know how many beauty queens you'll make fall for you!" Yuan Li said, pursing her lips happily and laughing upon hearing this.

"Hehe!" Ge Dongxu was somewhat embarrassed by Yuan Li's compliments.

Looking at the young man's smile, which held a boyish innocence, Yuan Li's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of haziness.

If only I were ten years younger!

"Hehe, look at you getting embarrassed. Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, and discuss the loan instead," Yuan Li quickly collected her emotions, being an experienced and strong woman, and looked at Ge Dongxu with a smile as she spoke.

"Um, this is my factory. Would there be a problem with getting a loan of five hundred thousand this time?" Ge Dongxu handed his documents to Yuan Li and asked.

He was basing the loan amount on the valuation of the land from the last time.

"Of course, it's possible. You're not still unaware that the planning map for the XC district has already been released, are you? The land around your factory is near the county government building, it's the real commercial and residential center of the XC district. The state-owned land near the Jiang Family Village has now officially started to be placed on the market for public bidding. Do you know what the current bid is for a ten-acre land use right near your factory?" Yuan Li looked at Ge Dongxu, her eyes full of envy and admiration as she asked.

Even now, she found it hard to accept this reality. A young man had such courage and vision to invest in a parcel of land near the Jiang Family Village so early on.

"Really? I spent the summer in Ge Family Village and was completely unaware of this. How much is the bid for that land you mentioned now?" Ge Dongxu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.

"Six million! There's still half a month before the announcement deadline, so it's hard to say if anyone will offer a higher price," Yuan Li said.

"Six million!" Even though Ge Dongxu had anticipated that once the planning map was released, his land would increase in value, he had not expected such a dramatic rise. Ten acres were worth six million, so his twelve acres could sell for seven million? Moreover, considering the circumstances, there seemed to be room for an even higher price.

"That's right, six million!" Yuan Li said, her gaze at Ge Dongxu filled with indescribable complexity.

The land she controlled was worth almost seven million, and with the herbal tea factory now thriving under his management, Yuan Li estimated that by the end of the year, Ge Dongxu's net worth would reach ten million.

A seventeen-year-old millionaire, just the thought of it made Yuan Li feel as if she was dreaming.

"It seems like I'm about to get rich again." Ge Dongxu soon regained his composure; what he truly cared about was cultivation. Making money was just to facilitate his cultivation.

"It's a pity that Sister is already married and over a decade older than you; otherwise, I'd definitely chase after you. How many millionaires are there in our entire Changxi County? And yet you, just a high school student, are about to become one!" Watching Ge Dongxu quickly regain his composure, Yuan Li couldn't help but express her feelings.
