Chapter 272 Dual Cultivation
That evening, Li Xiaoyao treated Zhao Ge and his fiancée, Xiaoxing, as well as eleven ex-soldiers, to a lavish meal at a high-end private club.
During the dinner, Zhao Ge announced his upcoming marriage. Aside from Li Xiaoyao, everyone was surprised, but congratulations quickly followed.
After dinner ended, Li Xiaoyao and Tang Tiantian went home.
Following a passionate encounter, Li Xiaoyao leaned against the headboard and said, "Rest well, I have a surprise for you tomorrow."
Tang Tiantian was indeed exhausted and sleepily asked what the surprise was. Before Li Xiaoyao could reply, she had already fallen asleep.
The next day.

After getting up and freshening up, Tang Tiantian, who was brushing her teeth, suddenly remembered the surprise Li Xiaoyao mentioned the night before. After finishing her morning routine, she went to the living room and asked, "Xiaoyao, what's the surprise you mentioned?"
"Let's have breakfast first, and then come with me afterwards."
After all, a surprise wouldn't be a surprise if it were spoiled beforehand.
With curiosity, Tang Tiantian sat down to have breakfast.
After eating, Li Xiaoyao drove her somewhere, the destination unknown to her.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped outside a new property development.
Tang Tiantian seemed to guess something and looked at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao took the keys out and said, "Let's buy a house first; it's not sustainable to keep renting."
In the minds of their people, a house is what makes a home.
Tang Tiantian thought the same.
"Xiaoyao, we can wait to buy a house," Tang Tiantian said, her mind clearly preoccupied with something else.
Li Xiaoyao immediately guessed what was on her mind. He didn't explain but got out of the car and made a phone call.
Tang Tiantian sat in the car, thinking that Li Xiaoyao was angry.
A few minutes later, Tang Tiantian received a text message.
She looked at it and was instantly dumbfounded.
"One hundred million!"
Li Xiaoyao came over, opened the car door, and said, "Your man makes money quickly; buying a house won't make me poor."
...
An hour later, under Tang Tiantian's selection, they finally bought a 300 square meter duplex, very similar to the one that Zhang Meng had, with luxurious decorations as well.
After buying the house, Tang Tiantian asked, "Xiaoyao, what are you doing now?"
The bank transfer of one billion had really scared her.
Even considering the fifty million given by Long Feiyang, the remaining fifty million was Li Xiaoyao's own.
How long had it been? Li Xiaoyao had made fifty million?
Li Xiaoyao said, "I'm doing business, a very lucrative business."
"A very lucrative business?" Tang Tiantian frowned, a sudden surge of anxiety in her heart.
How many types of business are highly lucrative? There aren't many options.
Could it be...
Seeing her mind veering off course, Li Xiaoyao said, "Don't think too much; I'm just a medicine seller."
"Selling medicine?" What kind of medicine sells for fifty million?
Li Xiaoyao didn't explain further and drove home.
Once back home, Li Xiaoyao closed all the curtains and sat on the sofa, beckoning to her.
"Come here, there's something I want to tell you."
Tang Tiantian felt an unreal sensation, Li Xiaoyao having transformed into a billionaire so suddenly, it was all too bizarre.
Tang Tiantian walked over and sat down to watch him.
Li Xiaoyao took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and said, "Eat this."
Tang Tiantian took the jade box, opened it, and a thick fragrance immediately assaulted her nose.
"It smells wonderful." Tang Tiantian exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"
"This is the pill I'm selling. Eat it and experience it for yourself, and you'll understand why it's so lucrative."
Tang Tiantian trusted Li Xiaoyao unconditionally, picked up the pill medicine, and tossed it into her mouth.
The pill medicine melted upon entering her mouth, turning into a rich and mellow medicinal power that entered her belly and rapidly spread throughout her limbs and bones.
The medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill was gentle, and even ordinary people could take it without experiencing an overflow of power.
After Tang Tiantian had taken the pill medicine, her consciousness fell into a state between sleep and wakefulness.
Li Xiaoyao laid her down on the sofa and used his spiritual power to nurture her body, striving to bring out the full medicinal properties of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
This process was extremely slow; Li Xiaoyao nurtured her for four hours before the medicinal properties of the Foundation Establishment Pill were fully absorbed.
Tang Tiantian opened her eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and she exhaled a breath of black turbid air.
"Xiaoyao, what in the world is this medicine? Why do I feel so comfortable all over, and so light?" Tang Tiantian sat up excitedly and was about to continue asking when she suddenly added, "My vision, how can it be…"
Tang Tiantian was stunned; she found that her vision had become incredibly sharp. A few meters away, on the dining room table where a small insect was resting, she could clearly see the wings of the bug.
The tightly closed windows did not prevent her from hearing, with perfect clarity, the sound of a neighbor parking a car outside.
Li Xiaoyao looked at her with a smile and said, "Go take a shower first, you can ask any questions you have later."
Tang Tiantian looked down and realized that her body was stickily uncomfortable, her white silk robe was covered with black sticky substance.
"Ah, how did this happen?" Tang Tiantian hurriedly jumped up and scuttled into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Tang Tiantian emerged wrapped in a bath towel and sat opposite Li Xiaoyao, asking, "What in the world just happened?"
Li Xiaoyao, instead of answering, asked, "Tiantian, do you believe in ghosts and gods in this world?"
"Ghosts and gods?" Tang Tiantian was just about to shake her head, but remembering the pill medicine she had just eaten, and her suddenly enhanced senses, she paused, looked at Li Xiaoyao with confusion, and asked, "Could it be… that ghosts and gods really exist?"
Li Xiaoyao nodded, and a small flame rose gently in the palm of his right hand.
Tang Tiantian rubbed her eyes in disbelief at the sight.
"This..."
Li Xiaoyao smiled, closed his hand, and used his spiritual power to levitate himself.
Tang Tiantian, looking at Li Xiaoyao slowly floating up from the sofa, had eyes filled with incredulity.
"This… this…"
Tang Tiantian was so shocked she couldn't speak.
Li Xiaoyao said, "I am a cultivator, and the power I possess is seen as divine by ordinary people."
"What you just swallowed was a Foundation Establishment Pill, which can remove impurities from the body and improve your constitution. You now have the foundation to start cultivation." Li Xiaoyao spoke gently, asking, "Do you want to cultivate?"
A barrage of shocking information continuously bombarded Tang Tiantian.
After a long while, she nodded vigorously and gave an affirmative hum.
Li Xiaoyao smiled; he knew that no one could resist such a temptation.
An ordinary person, suddenly given an opportunity to change their destiny, would definitely cling to it.
Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to teach her cultivation, the System's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Friendly reminder: the host can dual cultivate with a dao companion for faster speed and higher efficiency. Truly an excellent choice for cultivation."
Listening to the synthetic voice of the System utter such sly words, Li Xiaoyao felt a strange and eerie sensation.
However, the suggestion was quite good.
Dual cultivation?
