The rumbling thunder in the sky subsided, and those who couldn't contain themselves had completed their tribulations.

The crowd began to disperse, leaving only members of the Dongfang and Sima families behind.

Sima Jian jokingly said to Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, your business now ranks seventh among all the forces in the Purple Origin Immortal Realm."

Dongfang Zhengyu also joked, "Yes, after this, you've become the seventh major power. This trip was definitely worthwhile."

Qin Feng waved his hand, "I am truly grateful for the kindness of these seniors, which has enabled me to achieve this result; it was completely unexpected."

Sima Jian's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Young friend, you now own half of the Sima family's assets. I wonder what you plan to do with them?"

Dongfang Zhengyu also looked at Qin Feng, as he owned a tenth of the Dongfang family's assets.

With so many businesses, Qin Feng and his two companions certainly couldn't manage them all on their own, and they didn't want to be stuck here, so they had to let others run them.

It's hard to find suitable replacements. Qin Feng's cultivation has improved too quickly, and his relatives and friends can't keep up at all. There's no one available right now.

As for hiring other people, it's hard to say whether they will be dedicated.

He had considered cooperating with Shang Ziming, but he would wait until Shang Ziming became the young master and gained a voice before making any moves.

"I'm having a headache right now. Does senior have any good suggestions?" Qin Feng gave a wry smile.

"If you don't mind, young friend, you can cooperate with our Sima family." Sima Jian didn't keep them in suspense.

"How exactly will we cooperate?" Qin Feng asked, intrigued.

This is a good idea. These businesses originally belonged to the Sima family, so having them run them would at least prevent the business from getting worse.

"That's negotiable. If you don't want these properties, we can buy them back at a price that will satisfy you. That's one point."

Secondly, you hire members of the Sima family, pay them, and we'll help you manage the business.

To be honest, losing so many properties all at once and drastically reducing the family's income is a major event for the clan.

Finally, we'll invest in you, run the business together, and split the profits proportionally.

After listening, Qin Feng felt that the last cooperation method was worth trying. With the Sima family as shareholders, they would definitely care about the industry's status once they had a stake in it.

In that case, he can be freed up and only need to check the ledger from time to time.

Qin Feng was tempted; this was the best approach before his own people had matured.

He looked at Leng Yuexi and asked for her opinion.

Leng Yuexi had also been thinking about how to handle this industry, and she also preferred the last cooperation method, nodding slightly.

Qin Feng then asked Sima Jian, "Senior, how many shares do you plan to hold?"

Seeing that there was a chance, Sima Jian's face lit up with joy. "Thirty percent, how about we take thirty percent? Don't worry about the price, with Patriarch Dongfang as witness, you won't suffer any losses."

Dongfang Zhengyu also spoke up for his old friend, "Qin Feng, don't worry, Brother Sima is an honest man."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Then let's do as you say, senior. We'll have to rely on you and the Sima family more in the future."

Sima Jian was pleased. This unexpected turn of events had minimized his losses.

The Sima family still has a share in these businesses, and it's already quite good that the family members can stay in their original places.

Qin Feng was also very happy. As long as he shared a portion of the profits, he could be a hands-off manager.

With Dongfang Zhengyu as witness, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement, and Sima Jian handed over the industry contract to Qin Feng.

The Eastern family handled it in the same way.

The alliance between the Dongfang and Sima families has now expanded to include Qin Feng.

After the matter was settled, Sima Jian and his family dispersed, and Qin Feng and the others returned to the Dongfang family.

As soon as Dongfang Yue got home, she couldn't wait to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm. This time, Dongfang Zhengyu didn't stop her and even personally protected her.

The tribulation process went relatively smoothly, but at the moment she broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, a strange fragrance emanated from her body.

Fortunately, she didn't break through her cultivation level in front of everyone, otherwise, there would have been many people with ulterior motives who would have been concerned.

Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Ao Ling found an excuse to leave Xuri City and went out to find a place to undergo their tribulations.

The Purple Origin Immortal Realm is vast, so finding a suitable place is not difficult.

Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling sat in separate places, not disturbing each other. Both of them were serious, exchanged a glance, and began to break through their cultivation levels at the same time.

Qin Feng stood between them, protecting them.

The two of them steadily increased their auras, reaching the limit of the Golden Immortal realm, and then paused.

Their inner world began to change, transforming from a small world to a medium world, achieving a leap in level.

Outwardly, they displayed the aura of a Celestial King.

They successfully advanced to the rank of Immortal King; everything went smoothly and naturally.

The lightning tribulation has a very keen sense of smell; the moment the aura of a Celestial King appeared, the thunderclouds were already preparing.

Boom!

The lightning struck them almost simultaneously, almost without any sequence of events.

Ao Ling, possessing the body of a true dragon, appeared very relaxed.

Leng Yuexi was somewhat lacking in body tempering, but she remained unharmed by weakening the lightning tribulation.

Qin Feng watched them quietly from the side. One lightning bolt after another fell, and when the third lightning tribulation appeared, he noticed something unusual and let out a soft exclamation.

The intensity of the third lightning tribulation was vastly different from the second; it was as if two people of different cultivation levels were undergoing tribulation.

"What's going on? This tribulation lightning is a bit abnormal."

He scanned the two with his divine sense and was surprised to find that Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling's cultivation levels were rising rapidly. Although they had just broken through to the next realm, in just a short while, their cultivation levels were almost at the mid-stage of Immortal King.

This speed is almost the same as absorbing the power of origin in the Purple Source Mine.

Qin Feng discovered the trickery involved; Leng Yuexi was rapidly digesting the powerful force within her body.

Not only that, the purple energy she had previously stored was also rapidly absorbed, which, along with that mysterious power, propelled her cultivation level up and accelerated the evolution of her inner world.

On Ao Ling's side, the situation was similar. She had a plan in place to activate the true dragon blood within her body and combine it with the power of her origin to enhance herself.

They also had another idea: to use the tribulation lightning to constantly temper themselves, stabilize their rapidly increasing cultivation, and at the same time, to use the mysteries of the tribulation lightning to strengthen themselves.

Qin Feng understood why the third tribulation lightning was so fierce: when your cultivation level is about to advance to the next realm, the tribulation lightning will naturally intensify.

He recalled their serious expressions at the beginning and couldn't help but shake his head. It turned out they had already decided to do this.

The third tribulation lightning bolt was successfully passed, but the fourth and fifth bolts were even stronger.

When the sixth thunderbolt appeared, Qin Feng sensed a change once again. This should correspond to the late stage of the Immortal King realm.

Leng Yuexi groaned, and Ao Ling bared her teeth and cried out.

The sixth bolt of lightning passed just like that, followed by the seventh, the eighth, and so on, each one stronger than the last.

At the ninth level, the target is the peak of the Immortal King.

A tribulation of lightning for a Golden Immortal to break through to the Immortal King realm, with the intensity of the tribulation lightning rising from the early stage of Immortal King to the peak of Immortal King, is truly unparalleled.

Fortunately, they all made it through safely.

She arrived at the peak of the Immortal King realm.

Just when they thought the tribulation was over, the heavenly punishment appeared, cursing and swearing.

Come to think of it, no matter who plays like that, Heaven would not tolerate it.
