Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the entire room. Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes, feeling incredibly comfortable.
In just one night, this set of techniques had passed the Beginner Level and reached the true entry level.
What was even more unexpected was that after being cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi, his own strength had become so great.
It was as if parched land had been nourished by spring rain, regaining its vitality.

He exhaled a breath of hot air, opened the door, and saw that a layer of white frost had already formed in the courtyard.
For Qin Yan, it felt slightly cool.
This bit of frost was nothing to his powerful physique.
Midday!
Qin Yan led Zong Xiaoshan and the other to his restaurant, which was now fully renovated and ready to open on an auspicious day.
"Master Qin, you've arrived!"
The speaker was Lu Cheng, the restaurant manager hired by Qin Yan. He was a smooth and experienced man.
"It's cold today, so I brought my two brothers out for hot pot!"
"Alright! Don't worry, Master Qin, we've already recruited enough people and chefs. I'll get it done for you right away."
Lu Cheng immediately laughed and hurriedly called to the waiter, "Quickly take Master Qin to the VIP room!"
"Master Qin, I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart. This hot pot has such a unique flavor; it's so addictive!"
Lu Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a surge of heat rising from his body, making him feel completely comfortable.
He had worked in the restaurant business for two or three decades and had made many acquaintances from all over the country.
I've heard of mutton hot pot in northern China, but this is the first time I've ever seen this kind of hot pot.
In particular, some of the marketing techniques the other party mentioned were quite novel to him.
He felt that his employer was a business genius.
Qin Yan just smiled at Lao Lu's boasting, and shook his head with a smile as he watched his two brothers eating with gusto.
"Old Lu, are you ready for the opening in three days?"
"Everything is ready, Master Qin!"
Upon hearing the question, Lu Cheng immediately perked up. "Invitations have been sent to everyone who needs to be invited, and we've already announced it throughout the town for these few."
Lu Cheng dared not be careless in the slightest when it came to Qin Yan.
This man looks easy to talk to, but everyone knows he's a rising star in the underworld, Li Wenqing's personal disciple, and a junior recognized by Jiang Fuji.
"Boss, this hot pot tastes really good."
Zong Xiaoshan patted his belly with a satisfied look, a lingering expression on his face.
"The stuff itself is good; it's just a matter of whether your stomachs can handle it."
Qin Yan smiled without saying a word, and patted Qin Xiaoyi beside him!
"What does this mean, boss?"
"I don't quite understand!"
Zong Xiaoshan shook his head slightly.
Qin Yan told the two to go back first, while he himself returned to Clear Water Village!
"A-Yan's back! Would you like to come over for dinner?"
"A-Yan has become rich. He got our son to work for him, and they've been sending back a lot of money."
As soon as they returned to the village, the surrounding villagers greeted them warmly.
Now, many young people in the village work for Qin Yan, and the village's food problem has been solved.
Of course, he also ignored the villagers who were at odds with him.
It's already merciful of us not to retaliate against them, let alone help them.
Even so, he could still influence the entire village through his group of people, and his prestige was unmatched.
Far away!
Zhao He, holding her two children, looked haggard as she watched Qin Yan, who was being fawned over by everyone. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including hatred and regret. In the end, she could only lower her head and leave in a hurry. Life had worn away too much of her sharpness.
"Mom, that's Third Uncle. Aren't we going to say hello?"
"Come on, stop dawdling!"
Zhao He scolded them, grabbed the two children's hands, and went home without saying a word.
Qin Yan naturally saw them too, but he didn't want to bother with this family.
In a sense, he killed his own elder brother.
The feud between the two sides is irreconcilable.
Outsiders dare not speak out, because he is now powerful enough that no one dares to gossip in front of him.
Qin Yan didn't care!
"Third brother!"
Qin Qing now looked at Qin Yan with a somewhat restrained expression, with his heavily pregnant wife beside him.
Qin Yan's attitude towards his second brother's family had noticeably improved. "How have you been lately?"
"Thanks to you, we're barely managing to get by."
Qin Qing smiled awkwardly, her lips trembling slightly, unsure of how to begin.
Seeing this, Qin Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Speak, what do you need help with, Second Brother?"
"Your second sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I'd like to borrow some money from you."
Qin Qing lowered her head slightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as possible."
"Hmm!" Qin Yan nodded to indicate that he understood, and took out a silver note from his pocket.
"Consider this a small gift I'm giving to the child."
"Fifty taels? That's way too much!"
Qin Qing took the silver note and was immediately startled. He tried to return it.
But Qin Yan stopped him.
"Just a small token of my appreciation!"
Qin Yan smiled, "I'm back this time to go hunting in the mountains; it's getting late."
"It seems my third brother has let go," said Wang Fu, the second sister-in-law, rubbing her belly with some emotion.
"Unfortunately, my sister-in-law can't let it go! And my third brother won't back down either."
Qin Qing sighed, her feelings quite complicated.
The eldest brother went too far, and the third brother was too ruthless.
If I hadn't reminded Qin Yan when the Qiao Family sought revenge, my fate probably wouldn't have been much better.
Upon entering the mountains and forests, Qin Yan easily found his way to the treasure trove.
This place is also a blanket of white, covered with a thin layer of snow!
In front of the cliff, the area is covered with jagged, steep rocks.
Qin Yan felt completely comfortable, as the rich Heaven and Earth Origin Qi flowed into his body through his breathing technique.
"The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here is probably at least twenty times richer than in other places."
Qin Yan was filled with amazement, his body greedily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here.
It constantly nourishes itself.
"I wonder if any monsters have spawned here."
With a thought to himself, Qin Yan unleashed his powerful senses and instantly locked onto a creature of considerable strength.
A slender, silvery-white snake was hiding in a crevice in the rocks.
However, this snake did not enter hibernation. Having broken free from the constraints of ordinary beasts, Qin Yan's arrival immediately made it aware of the danger.
Its body is nearly two meters long, but only as thick as an index finger, and its entire body reflects a metallic luster.
"Not bad! Looks like another exotic spirit snake!"
Qin Yan smiled; this place always brought him surprises.
Swish!
This snake was incredibly fast, even faster than the Spirit Mouse Qin Yan had encountered!
But Qin Yan is no longer the same person he once was, and he now faces the oncoming silver snake.
Qin Yan used only two fingers to firmly clamp the other person's head, and his slender body instantly wrapped around his arm.
Click!
Qin Yan exerted a slight force with his fingers, crushing the other's head. He then gathered some firewood and roasted the little thing.
