It was already two o’clock in the afternoon, Luan was studying Dimas Corporation’s projects and proposals from early in the morning. Maira had doubts about Luan becoming CEO of Dimas Corporation, but now she was confident that he could make it work. Of course, she still intended to help in what ways she could.
In his room, Luan was creating the “Bad Luck Pill”. This pill was a pill that Luan himself invented. It was possible for Luan to make basically because of his Negative Qi, since in the process it was essential to be able to pull in negative energy that ends up causing bad luck to the person who ate the pill. Luan did not originally design the pill to be used by an unfortunate victim; it was something he created for himself, and of course, when he ate it, didn’t have that bad luck effect, but it did help increase cultivation. However, when one of his friends from his past lifetime had eaten the pill, he was made unlucky for a few minutes, but because he had relatively high cultivation, the effect fortunately did not last that long.
Luan squeezed boa constrictor blood into a silver cauldron and began to boil it using the crystal of fire energy. Turning the hydrangea leaves into powder, he placed the powder in the cauldron, followed by 200-year-old agave and blood fern leaf that he took from the bloody forest. The blood fern leaf would help to increase the effect. Before closing the lid, Luan opened his mouth and spat something white into the cauldron; this was precisely his Negative Qi that had been condensed into solid form.
The number of ingredients he had was enough for him to create two pills, and that’s what Luan did as he waited for the process to end.

“Ingrid, let me help you.” Luan arrived in the kitchen and saw his girlfriend putting food on the table.
“Everything is ready. Just see if Maira, Catharina, and Cristina have finished meditating, please.” Ingrid turned around, wearing a pink apron, and with her beautiful blond hair tied in a ponytail, she smiled at Luan as she spoke.
Luan stared at her for a few seconds, before turning and leaving. “Okay.”
Outside the exercise room, Luan heard laughter and voices. He went in and saw his mother and two sisters sitting on the floor sweaty, talking about something that seemed to be related to him, since he heard his name mentioned.
“Keep talking; don’t stop because of me.” Luan leaned against the door with his arms crossed on his chest while he looked at his mother and sisters.
Cristina jumped like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and then she leaned over to Luan and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, big brother. I asked mom and big sister to tell me a bit about you.”
Luan was not angry, and seeing little Cristina feel so guilty that they were talking about him because she asked, Luan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He approached the girl and put his hand on her head and head with his hand and said, “Cristina, don’t feel guilty about little things. I won’t be cross with you just because you asked about my past.”
Seeing her raise her head, looking at him with her big honey-colored eyes, Luan smiled a little and added, “Besides being your Master, I’m also your older brother. Don’t be so polite to me in the future; treat me like family, and only apologize if you do something wrong.”
Cristina’s eyes were getting red, but she sniffed and didn’t cry. She hugged Luan. Then she said, “Yes, older brother.”
Luan pinched her soft cheek, and said, “Okay, take a shower and then go down the stairs and go to the kitchen. Ingrid cooked for us.”
“En.” Cristina nodded obediently and left shortly thereafter. She was feeling incredibly happy now.
“Heh… First you make her feel guilty and sad; then you even comfort her. Tsk, tsk, brother, you are very bad~” Catharina wagged her finger, getting up, she reached out in front of him and poked his chest with her index finger while criticizing Luan for having done something bad.
Luan looked down at his sister, and said, “Remember when we were 17 years old, stone midnight… I went to get some water and guess what I saw?”
“Shh!” Catharina was frightened and covered Luan’s mouth with both her hands and said, “I was wrong, okay? Oh yes, the sister-in-law made lunch, right? I’ll go first!”
Catharina ran right away.
With only himself and his mother in the room, Luan looked at Maira and asked, “Mom, is everything okay with your arm and leg? Do you feel any discomfort?”
“They are very good. It has not been a problem so far, and thanks to the technique of cultivating the body, they both have grown stronger. Mm, I think I’m 4 times stronger than before? If not, it is close to that.” Looking at her son, Maira said all this with a smile.
“I’m glad to hear that.” Luan smiled back.

After lunch, Catharina went shopping with Ingrid and Cristina. There were many things missing from the girls’ daily lives, and Luan couldn’t help that much.
Both he and his mother had spent the whole morning studying the company’s projects and proposals, so now they took the time to train.
However, Luan didn’t start training right away. He still wanted to create a formation and increase the Qi density of Heaven and Earth in the gym room.
“Mom, before I start training, I have some preparations to make here,” Luan told her.
“Is it that formation that you mentioned before?” Maira remembered that he had talked about this.
“Yes, I didn’t do that before because I was worried about attracting a crack if I did something very strong, but I already have all the items needed to prevent this from happening,” Luan said.
“Okay, I’m going to wait in my room while you do this. Let me know when you’re done, Luan.” Smiling, Maira got up and left Luan alone.
Luan went to his room, took the big stone of energy, and cut five pieces from it the size of a little glass ball, and then took a bone that was part of the rib of the bloodthirsty lion, and some of the lion’s blood which he had kept in the small leather bag he made from the bloodthirsty lion’s skin.
In the gym room, Luan mixed his blood with that of the bloodthirsty lion and increased the effect when drawing the formation pentagram. It was a five-pointed formation with two effects: concealment, and pulling energy from Heaven and Earth into it.
The moment Luan placed the five energy stones on each end, he stuck the bone in the middle and that was when a flash of red and white light illuminated the room. Luan muttered a few words and wrote strange symbols with his Qi in the air, integrating them with the formation. Then some mysterious symbols began to appear around the room, forming something like a round dome that isolated it.
The symbols seemed mystical and supernatural, and they started to spin like a turnstile around the room, and it only stopped spinning a few minutes after Luan finished murmuring strange words and writing symbols in the air that integrated into the formation.
With that being ready, Luan sighed a little tiredly, and left to go grab some things left in his room and then call his mother.
