574: Chapter 407 574: Chapter 407 Luo Sheng, as the Family Head, felt proud and delighted to see his son surpass him in abilities, yet he also felt a sense of loss in his heart.
The ancestors felt the same way; they knew they had to become stronger to serve as the cornerstone of the family.
More and more young people were becoming stronger, and if these old fellows couldn’t hold their ground in cultivation, who wouldn’t want to become an Immortal?
When he opened the two bottles and saw so many Pills inside, he was thrilled.
He turned to his smiling son and said:
“Son, you’ve given all the Pills to us, but what about yourself?
I know you are filial, yet you should keep some for yourself.”
Luo Yaxuan maintained his smile and responded confidently, “As soon as our group arrived, Saint Lord Jiang Tang gave us two bottles each with two Pills inside.
Following our mission, we will certainly receive more resources.
I want to leave these resources to you and the family, hoping you will enhance your Cultivation while I’m away on the mission.”
Luo Sheng’s excitement was evident on his face as he speculated, “Saint Lord Jiang Tang, did he distribute the same resources to all several hundred people who went?”
Luo Yaxuan nodded, “Yes, he treated everyone equally, regardless of their status.”
“Wow, that’s quite generous…” both father and son thought.
A single Pill could be worth a fortune, and for each person to receive so many, how could this Saint Lord find the time to craft so many Pills?
Previously, he had visited their clan to exchange some Pills, and all over the Martial World’s Cultivation circles, Supreme Elixirs were being auctioned.
Then there were the products supplied by the Saint Lord’s shop, and the resources and Pills he distributed wherever he went.
How did he have the resources to craft so many Pills, and how did he find the time to do so — not just to distribute them but also to sell?
Everyone would guess that Jiang Tang certainly had many secrets, not just high Cultivation.
How did he manage to advance so rapidly, and where did he obtain his Secret Manuals?
No one could extract his secrets, for their abilities weren’t sufficient; simply by staying close to this person, they could gain numerous benefits.
At this moment, Luo Sheng felt envious of the young people who could leave the family to venture out.
He sighed inwardly; being young was better, with the ability to set aside family responsibilities and carve out a path for oneself.
Then, he reflected that they, the older generation, had even greater responsibilities: to settle affairs at home and provide a safe backing for the young to explore and venture without worry.
Luo Yaxuan didn’t need to purchase resources in the next two days.
He consumed the two Pills he had received earlier.
There had been no time for advancement before, and after absorbing energy continuously at the base, his body had stored an excess of energy, waiting to be unleashed.
Luo Yaxuan returned to his courtyard and entered seclusion.
He had prepared Bigu Pills for himself, so he would not need to eat or drink during these two days of seclusion.
First, he consumed two Supreme Elixirs and then swallowed a Bigu Pill.
He immediately felt the potent Spiritual Energy of the Vitality Pill and Nourishing Soul Pill rushing through his meridians.
His meridians had already stored a plethora of energy, just waiting for him to circulate that energy, and now the Spirit Pill’s Spiritual Energy was surging through them.
Before Luo Yaxuan could even initiate his Cultivation Technique to direct the Spiritual Energy assault on the barrier of his Golden Core middle stage, the Spiritual Energy began to collide with the barrier on its own accord.
A hint of surprise flashed through Luo Yaxuan, but he paused only for a second before he directed his Cultivation Technique to forcefully hammer the barrier.
The Spiritual Energy circulated his body, and with an explosive burst, it struck the barrier of the Golden Core middle stage.
There was a “click” as if a small fissure had formed, and suddenly the barrier began to leak.
The assaulting Spiritual Energy rushed towards those cracks.
The cracks widened, and then burst open—the barrier of the Golden Core middle stage had been successfully breached.
Luo Yaxuan was elated, yet instead of immediately channeling the fierce Spiritual Energy upwards, he used his Cultivation Technique to consolidate his newfound Cultivation level.
As soon as he had successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, a golden mist drifted out of his room, circling above the family estate.
When the members of the family witnessed this, they all revealed delighted smiles.
The heir had improved his Cultivation again.
Even those connected to the family knew that the people who had accompanied the heir to the base had brought back many Supreme Elixirs for their families and clan members, and they, too, were in seclusion, cultivating during these two days.
Those who did not qualify to receive Supreme Elixirs were envious and jealous, but they were helpless; their abilities were too limited to earn such elixirs.
Moreover, their skills had not merited the family’s reward of Supreme Elixirs for their cultivation, but they hoped that as the family grew stronger and resources became more abundant in the future,
even they, working their ordinary jobs, might have a chance to receive Supreme Elixirs for their cultivation.
Therefore, they worked even harder, hoping to earn the family’s reward.
After advancing his Cultivation level, Luo Yaxuan refrained from immediately tackling the next realm.
Having leveled up, aside from reinforcing his Cultivation, he also needed to master the techniques and spells of the new tier.
The Secret Manuals Jiang Tang had given him contained some advanced Cultivation Techniques and Spells that could only be learned with sufficient Cultivation levels.
Luo Yaxuan believed that while advancing one’s Cultivation was important, Cultivation Techniques and Spells were equally vital—one could not afford to lag in either aspect.
This expedition with Jiang Tang made him realize his capabilities were found lacking, and his learning was too narrow.
Considering himself an elite from his family, his education paled in comparison to others, and he felt truly ashamed.
He quietly sought Jiang Tang and asked to learn alchemy as well.
