In order to refine the Meridian Renewal Pill as soon as possible, Qi Zhiheng had to find a way to torment himself!

Qi Zhiheng stopped his seclusion to improve his cultivation and instead focused on body training. He picked out a boxing manual from his spatial pavilion and started practicing in the courtyard.

He was obese, and when he punched, he did it slowly and deliberately. Every movement strained his body, causing him great pain.

Yang Yitian watched him practice his boxing and almost choked on his food! Qi Zhiheng's punches looked like a pig dancing! It was hilarious! But he dared not actually laugh out loud; if he were discovered to be a fool, he would be finished.

That day, when Qi Zhiheng was taking things out, he pulled out a few pieces of silver. Yang Yitian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the silver! That was silver! Whether he could survive after escaping depended on it.

Qi Zhiheng saw that Yang Yitian was very interested in the silver, but he didn't dare to give it to him casually. What if Yang Yitian thought it was food and swallowed it? Wouldn't that choke him to death? His wife was just an ordinary person.

Seeing Qi Zhiheng take the silver back, Yang Yitian cursed inwardly for being such a stingy fat pig! He wouldn't even give him a few coins!

Seeing his displeasure, Qi Zhiheng gave him two silver ingots to play with, though they were too big to swallow whole. Yang Yitian's eyes lit up again; so much silver must be valuable! He quickly took them and stuffed them into his pocket. Instantly, he felt terrible for having just called him stingy! He really shouldn't have done that!

Seeing that he was happy, Qi Zhiheng took the opportunity to prick his finger, extract a drop of blood, and drip it onto a jade pendant.

Yang Yitian cried out in pain! Qi Zhiheng quickly stuffed two more gold ingots into his hand.

Yang Yitian: ...

Okay, for the sake of the money, I'll reluctantly forgive him!

A month later, Qi Zhiheng was about to undergo another medicinal bath. He planned to take this opportunity to break through the first level of the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique!

He handed Yang Yitian to the servant boy and instructed him, "He won't be out of seclusion too early this time, so keep an eye on the entrance. If he wants to go out, follow him. I've already given him a fasting pill; he should be fine for the next half month." Qi Zhiheng had also refined an even better fasting pill for Yang Yitian, one pill lasting half a month. After taking the fasting pill, he wouldn't need to eat, drink, or relieve himself! Very convenient!

Qi Zhiheng went into seclusion in a dark room. Little did he know that he would find a wife because of this fasting pill.

Qi Zhiheng was completely absorbed in his cultivation, while his servant boy guarded the main gate. Yang Yitian, on the other hand, climbed out of the window that very night.

With the money and having figured out the route through the herb garden, Yang Yitian easily climbed out of the garden.

It was still night, and the streets of the small town were deserted. Yang Yitian had only been carried here in a bridal sedan chair on his wedding day, and vaguely remembered the direction, so he headed straight in that direction. In any case, he had to leave this town as soon as possible; this was still Qi family territory!

Yang Yitian ran a little further and found an inn to stay in. It was too dark now, so he decided to make plans again when it got light.

The next morning, when Yang Yitian went downstairs for breakfast, he heard gossip about himself.

"Did you know? The young master of the Qi family married a girl who's both ugly and stupid! She seems to have the mental capacity of a five or six-year-old. It's said that on the day of the wedding, the seventh young master was so angry that he vomited blood! Haha, he spat blood all over Shuang'er's face!"

"How dare you discuss the Qi family's affairs in Butterfly Stone Town? Aren't you afraid of the Qi family's retaliation?"

"What's there to be afraid of? This matter has spread throughout Butterfly Rock. He may be able to shut me up, but can he shut up the mouths of everyone in Butterfly Rock?"

Yang Yitian initially didn't know who they were talking about, but the story sounded familiar. Then he realized what they were talking about and his eyes widened! This description of "ugly and stupid" perfectly described him!
