Awakening

There are two types of geniuses in cultivation: those who are obvious and those who are latent.

Someone like Boss Gu is a typical example of a naturally gifted genius. His talent is as dazzling as the sun, and anyone who isn't blind can see his aptitude.

Someone like him is a hidden genius. It's not that he has no talent, but if this talent isn't activated, it's no different from not having any talent at all.

For example, his Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians were misdiagnosed as Seven Absolutes Meridians by his mother back then. If it weren't for the fortuitous opportunity encounter in Demon-Subduing City that activated his demonic veins, he would never have known about them in his entire life.

Moreover, the conditions for activating this demonic vein are extremely demanding: Buddha-Devil Transformation Spirit Transformation the Nascent Soul stage, the Three Yin Flowers —a top-tier demonic State of Mind —plus mastery of the Profound Yin Body Refining Technique are required to activate a single demonic vein.

If this were in Heavenly Gate, he would never be able to meet these conditions.

But a top-tier talent is a top-tier talent; even if it's just a single demonic vein, its Demonic Qi storage capacity is equivalent to the total of twelve regular meridians.

If the Buddha-Devil Transformation were to erupt and evolve into Great Mudra, he felt confident that he could unleash a "Peak Golden Core" level of damage.

This was purely due to his own cultivation, not because of some kind of calamity or aura.

Even if we take a step back and say that something is better than nothing, it's still better to have something.

At least that big-name influencer who did something similar, with such a grand show of it and the backstage cooperation of relevant departments, didn't actually activate any qualifications.

But here's the problem: he's solved the mystery of his mother's origins, but new problems arise in the demonic path.

The Huang Jiayou revealed its true colors under these circumstances, probably because it was cornered and resorting to desperate measures.

His desperate act has put both Hu Mang and Liu Manqing in a dilemma, one a dilemma of stance and the other a dilemma of morality.

Hu Mang pondered for a moment, then did something that surprised the two people present: he picked up a "Bone-Molding Pill," put it in his mouth, and swallowed it with two smacking sounds.

As a demonic body-refining medicine, the "Bone-Molding Pill" itself is not very toxic, at most containing a little Demonic Qi. However, after the Hu Mang swallowed it, it could clearly feel that the wisp of Demonic Qi was absorbed into the "Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian" as soon as it entered its stomach, and then purified into pure Profound Yin Devil Qi, which then overflowed from the Demonic Vein and spread into its limbs and bones.

The Hu Mang's bones felt a tingling sensation, and then, that was it.

"This effect--"

Hu Mang devoured the entire box of "Bone-Molding Pill" like he was eating sugar pills, leaving the other two in shock.

"It seems to be having some effect."

Hu Mang's eyes lit up slightly.

He knew that his fortuitous opportunity to unlock the next demonic vein had arrived.

"Young Master Hu, don't do anything rash! Eating too much of this stuff can kill you," Huang Jiayou said, looking at the other person as if he had seen a ghost.

Just make it into a semi-finished product and then leave the final processing to me. Don't worry, whether in Heavenly Gate or overseas, you won't see a single 'Bone-Molding Pill' on the market," Hu Mang then looked at Liu Manqing.

"We don't know yet whether Fifth Aunt Liu was involved or not, but let's prepare for the worst: if Fifth Aunt Liu was involved, then it doesn't matter who we do business with. We might as well keep the profits within the family. At least I'm more reliable than those overseas demonic cultivators. Back then, the five families were all in cahoots, sharing both prosperity and adversity. That's not just talk."

Liu Manqing hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Based on my understanding of my mother, she may not be interested in power, but her interest in money is extraordinary. You can't convince her with just words."

"Who said I'm just talking? I'm planning to pay a deposit, so wait for me."

Without a word, Hu Mang went out, and then returned a moment later carrying a sack. He shook the contents of the sack in front of the two men, and a sack full of glittering Spirit Stone was shaken out, piling up into a small mountain in front of them.

"Judging by quantity, these Spirit Stones are worth about 10 million. But in terms of Spiritual Qi content, they could easily fetch 15 million. Is this a good enough Spirit Stone to convince your mother?"

Huang Jiayou blinked, then blinked again, and only after confirming that he wasn't seeing things did he exclaim in surprise:

Where did you get so many Spirit Stones?

Although their family has tens of millions in liquid funds, they simply cannot produce that many Spirit Stones all at once.

If these high-quality Spirit Stone were on the black market, they could easily fetch 20 million or even 30 million.

Spirit Stone in the Heavenly Gate are considered semi-controlled items, and are known as the gold of the cultivation world.

"You two—" Liu Manqing took a deep breath and looked at Hu Mang, "Does Aunt Hu agree to what you're doing? Do you also want Aunt Hu to step down and give way?"

"You're kidding, how could that be? She's my own mother," Hu Mang said without hesitation.

I wasn't adopted either!!

In the end, Liu Manqing only agreed to consider it first, without intending to take sides for the time being, and of course, she would not inform on anyone.

After all, no matter what the Hu and Huang families do, it's only targeting the Bai Household and Bai Household businesses they own. The Liu Household can simply wait and see how things develop.

Hu Mang, however, felt that this aunt from the Liu Household probably had her own ideas.

According to the terms of the deal between his mother and the other party, the prerequisite for the other party to agree to treat him was that his mother would help him in a critical moment.

Which moment was this crucial moment?

Given Fifth Aunt Liu's personality and the Liu Household's thriving beauty salon business, she shouldn't have any intention of returning to her old profession.

Since the plan is to overthrow the superior, the engagement cannot be canceled anytime soon.
