61: Chu Ye, a hot commodity

Perhaps, this was already the best outcome.

Chu Ye departed gracefully, not intentionally hiding his tracks.

There's no wall that wind cannot pass through. Soon, news of Hua Ling's strange illness being cured by Chu Ye spread like wildfire across the Central Domain.

The matter of Madam Hua Yu's beloved daughter suffering from a rare illness and failing to find a cure despite consulting numerous famous doctors was no secret within the Central Domain's upper echelons; almost everyone knew about it.

Various long-standing Legacies had secretly researched or openly attempted to cure it, but all were helpless.

Now, it was actually resolved by Chu Ye, a young man from the Outer Domain?

This matter alone was enough to cause a huge stir.

However, even more astonishing and unbelievable news followed, causing these old foxes to drop their jaws: Madam Hua Yu had broken through!

The Immortal Realm's eighth-level barrier, which had firmly trapped her for nearly a thousand years and made countless powerhouses of the same Realm dread, was actually shattered in a short period, allowing her to step into the ninth-level Realm!

In the high-level Immortal Realm, every small step signifies a qualitative leap in combat power, and the solidity of its Bottleneck is imaginable.

Madam Hua Yu had been stuck at the eighth level for a long time, but now she suddenly broke through, and the timing perfectly coincided with Chu Ye's arrival at Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect and his curing of Hua Ling.

No one would believe this was a coincidence.

"The daughter's terminal illness cured, the mother's thousand-year Bottleneck broken... all happened after that Chu Ye visited Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect?"

The big shots of various forces stroked their beards, their brows tightly furrowed, their hearts filled with doubt and astonishment. "Could it be... that all of this was truly his doing?"

They all simultaneously recalled the great dao golden ranking list that had recently shaken the world, and the shocking description of Chu Ye's Heavenly Mandate Marriage Fate Physique on the golden ranking list.

"Combining with him can break through the Realm and advance..." What was originally perhaps just considered an exaggeration by the Heavenly Dao or a rumor of some special blessing, now, combined with the

miracles

that occurred to the mother and daughter of Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect, suddenly became incredibly real, even heart-stopping. The name Chu Ye, along with his mysterious Physique, in the Central Domain's top circles, was no longer just a list symbol or a topic of conversation after meals, but was shrouded in a richer, more alluring, and more dangerous mysterious halo.

The eyes of some cunning old monsters, looking towards the Great Chu direction, had completely changed.

And more gazes hidden in the dark also began to re-evaluate how to deal with this

outsider

. The waters of the Central Domain were quietly stirred deeper by Chu Ye's

visit

. The incident at Myriad Spirits Heavenly Sect was like a giant rock thrown into a lake, its ripples in the Central Domain lingering for a long time. Chu Ye, this young man once regarded as an

Outer Domain parvenu

by some old Central Domain forces, became a hot commodity, a top strategic resource overnight. No, he was a walking, humanoid Realm Breakthrough Device and a force-structure-disrupting device.

The threshold of the Great Chu Empire, as Old Ancestor Chu Shanhe had jokingly said before, was almost trampled down by various forces from the Central Domain.

Those sending gifts, building connections, seeking cooperation, and even

delivering goods to the door

were endless, truly a top-tier investment attraction scene in the Xuanhuan world.

Old Ancestor Chu Shanhe, who presided over the front desk, had lived for thousands of years and was already a master of schemes.

He set the rules with a smile: Want to discuss matters?

First, look at the gift. A sincere gift shows sincere intent; a heavy gift shows deep affection.

A meager gift? That means you look down on our Great Chu. The door is over there; feel free to leave.

As for what counts as

sufficient weight

? Old Ancestor stroked his beard and smiled:

You are all intelligent people, judge for yourselves.

He passed the buck smoothly.

Finally, he added:

Of course, whether it ultimately succeeds or not, I don't have the final say; it depends on whether my grandson is willing.

He completely shirked responsibility, yet accepted all the gifts.

The Central Domain visitors clearly knew this was

extortion

, but they couldn't resist Chu Ye's enticing

efficacy

. For a force, if they could create one more Great Emperor through Chu Ye, it could directly change the regional power landscape!

This temptation was enough for many forces to willingly

be fleeced

. As for the women sent for marriage alliances?

In the eyes of many forces, this was even an ascent, as Great Chu was a

newly rich family

ranked in the top ten on the golden ranking list.

Thus, piles of

cooperation proposals

and

marriage candidate profiles

arrived before Chu Ye daily.

Chu Shanhe and Chu Tianxing, father and son, handled things

thoughtfully

, not only listing the force background, the woman's name, and identity, but also attaching high-definition Recording Stones, detailing their

specialties

. Some possessed magnificent bosoms, emphasizing

generosity is greatness

; others were skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, with elegant and refined temperaments like orchids.

There were even female Buddhist practitioners of joyful meditation, voluntarily coming to be
