That night, he absorbed a significant amount of spiritual energy from the top-grade Spirit Stone he bought at the auction.
The pure spiritual energy entered his body, making him feel extrely comfortable, and it also significantly improved his cultivation.
He had a premonition that in no more than two weeks, the spiritual energy in his body would surely reach its peak.
In other words, it would be Qi Refinent Realm Perfect, and by then he would have the capital to look forward to the next realm.
"Hopefully, it will arrive soon."
Chen Yang looked at the light shining through the window, exhaled heavily, and then stopped cultivating. He washed up and went out.
The village was changing every day, and the huge business opportunities brought by the tourist area had greatly improved the villagers’ lives.
Previously, not to ntion Liuhe Village, even the surrounding areas combined didn’t have many cars.
But with the developnt during this period, everyone’s living standards have undergone trendous changes.
Those who had needs at ho bought small cars.
Although they weren’t luxury cars, it was still considered as owning a car.
Those who didn’t have needs at ho started renovating houses or building new ones; everything was developing in a good direction.
Just as he went out, Chen Yang happened to walk into an open space where a new house was being built.
Upon inquiry, he found out it was actually Wang Hong’s house being renovated.
"Aunt Wang, this foundation is quite large, how many floors are you planning to build?" Chen Yang spotted Wang Hong, busy and wearing a hat, among the crowd.
Upon hearing the voice, Wang Hong turned around, and seeing it was Chen Yang, her face imdiately bead with a smile.
"Oh, Yang Zi, when did you get here?"
Wang Hong quickly put down her work and poured a cup of tea for Chen Yang.
This made Chen Yang feel a bit embarrassed, having not helped, yet being served tea at Wang Hong’s place.
"I just got here, Aunt Wang, you’re being too polite. Coming to your house and not helping, yet still getting tea?" Chen Yang laughed as he accepted the tea.
Since Wang Hong had already poured it, it would be worse not to accept it.
Wang Hong bead, "Yang Zi, you really have to drink this tea. It’s Auntie’s gratitude tea; without you, could Auntie be building a house?"
"Yeah, Uncle Chen Yang, you have to drink it,"
Qiang Zi also ran over smiling.
Although Qiang Zi was young, due to the lack of n at ho, he was quite sensible at a young age.
While others played outside, he would help Wang Hong with moving bricks and building the house.
"Alright, then I’ll have it." Chen Yang laughed heartily, not being modest, and drank the tea in one go.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wang Hong, Chen Yang left first, not continuing to disturb them in building the house.
It wasn’t just Wang Hong’s family building a house in the village. After walking around, he found at least three houses under construction in the village.
And from the foundations, the scale of construction was not small, all were the currently most trendy small villas.
Seeing everyone in the village leading a good life made Chen Yang naturally happy; wasn’t this his initial goal?
After walking around a few tis happily, Chen Yang returned ho and did not go out again, choosing to stay ho to cultivate and practice the Gathering Spirit Seal!
Initially, he thought today would pass like usual, peacefully.
But unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, almost nine,
he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar number.
The caller said only one sentence before hanging up.
"Within one hour, bring thirty mid-grade Spirit Stones to the old cent factory in the county to ransom the person, or prepare to collect a corpse."
"Who are you..."
As Chen Yang heard the voice and was about to ask questions, he was t with beeping sounds; the call was hung up.
Before Chen Yang could think much, there was a sudden urgent knock at the door.
Chen Yang imdiately got up and opened the door, seeing Zhang Xueying with Xiaoxiao and Lingling standing at the door with anxious expressions.
"Xueying, why are you here?" Chen Yang looked at Zhang Xueying in surprise.
"Brother Chen Yang... Miaoyan seems to be in trouble!" Zhang Xueying said anxiously.
"What? Miaoyan is in trouble?"
"Yes, today Miaoyan said she was going to the county to buy so snacks and toys for Lingling and Xiaoxiao, but she hasn’t co back yet, and the phone can’t be reached either." Zhang Xueying quickly explained the situation.
After hearing Zhang Xueying’s words, Chen Yang instantly thought of that phone call.
Just now, he was wondering who had been kidnapped! He never thought it would be Jiang Miaoyan.
"Brother, what should we do now? We can’t contact her, and we don’t know where to look, should we call the police?" Zhang Xueying was very worried about Jiang Miaoyan’s safety, as the bus service had been stopped for several hours.
Not being able to contact her was naturally worrying.
"No need, I probably know where she is. Xueying, you stay with Lingling and the others at ho, I’ll go out to find Miaoyan."
"Huh? Brother Chen Yang, how do you know where Miaoyan is?"
Zhang Xueying was full of surprise.
"Just wait for at ho, I’ll explain when I get back."
The kidnapper only gave an hour, so Chen Yang didn’t bother explaining the call he just received. It was aningless to talk about it now, it would only make Zhang Xueying more worried.
So he simply didn’t explain, just left a sentence, grabbed the car keys, and drove towards the county.
Chen Yang drove very fast. Although the kidnappers gave him one hour, he arrived at the designated location, the old cent factory in the county, within half an hour.
It was an abandoned factory, unmanaged for more than ten years.
With dilapidated steel structures lying everywhere, under the night’s cover, it seed especially desolate and silent.
Chen Yang took steps into the cent factory alone, carefully surveying everything around him.
Finally, in the center of the factory, he saw four people in black sitting around a worn-out table, playing poker to while away the ti.
All four were cultivators! Late stage of the Profound Strength Realm.
Chen Yang could tell at a glance.
"It’s you, isn’t it?"
Chen Yang stopped about five or six ters away from them and spoke calmly.
The old cent factory rarely had visitors; the scene was extrely quiet.
As soon as Chen Yang spoke, the four imdiately looked over here.
"Oh, pretty fast, looks like the investigation was correct, that woman has an unusual relationship with you." The short leader in black stood up and looked back at Chen Yang.
They were all dressed in black, and Chen Yang did not know who they were or why they kidnapped Jiang Miaoyan.
"Who are you? I ca, but where is the person you kidnapped?"
Chen Yang didn’t want to waste words with them and got directly to the point.
"Heh, you don’t need to know who we are. You just need to know that the person you want is in our hands, and you’d better recognize your situation! We are the ones threatening you, not the other way around, so watch your attitude, understand?" The leader spoke coldly, with a strong warning tone.
"Did you bring what we asked for?" the person asked after the warning.
Chen Yang, unsure about Jiang Miaoyan’s safety, answered the man’s question.
"What you need is on , but where is the person I want?" Chen Yang coldly retorted.
"Don’t worry, as long as you give the Spirit Stones, everything will be fine!" The leader in black said.
"Are you implying that even if I give you the Spirit Stones, you won’t release her?" Chen Yang caught the implication in his words, clearly there was no intention of releasing her.
"Hahaha..."
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, the man in black laughed coldly.
"You’re smart, indeed we don’t intend to release her! If you want to save her, you’ll have to co here every month with thirty mid-grade Spirit Stones, or else her life definitely won’t be spared!" The black-clad man said arrogantly, seemingly believing he had completely overwheld Chen Yang.
Unbeknownst to him, his behavior was undoubtedly courting death!!
