Capítulo 1447: Chapter 1447: What? Am I Not Dreaming? (2 Updates)
Hu Wang listened to Hu Zhong’s words and couldn’t help but agree, “Junior Brother Ye, this time you’ve not only returned my father’s letter, but also saved my life. You are a benefactor to my whole Hu Family. Just say whatever you need.”
“Don’t be hasty, let’s talk about it one thing at a time!” Ye Haochuan chuckled, looking as if he was planning to bankrupt the Hu Family.
“Firstly, your old man once invited me to slaughter the Iron Bull together and promised a significant reward. However, he only paid five million superior spirit crystals, saying the remainder could be collected here, so…”
“This is simple, I’ll immediately send someone to bring another ten million.” Hu Wang appeared very generous, even Hu Zhong couldn’t help but glance over.
The Hu Family is not considered a major family in Xuantian City, and ten million is no small amount for them. This shows that Hu Wang is genuinely grateful to Ye Haochuan.
Hu Zhong suddenly thought of something and asked, “Brother Ye, I’m still unclear about one thing: wasn’t grandfather already able to kill the Iron Bull and obtain the blood pill? Why did he still perish?”
“Well, it’s because the old man was eager to save his son. There were two Iron Bulls there, the smaller one… When the old man saw he couldn’t escape, he threw the ring to me and then valiantly met his end!”
Ye Haochuan briefly explained the situation, which moved several members of the Hu Family to tears over the old man’s selfless act to save his son.
After a long while, Hu Wang was the first to regain his composure and continued asking, “You mentioned only the first request, what is the second one?”
“The second one is regarding the Iron Bull’s blood pill.” Ye Haochuan smiled and said, “The Iron Bull blood pill is a rare healing treasure, and coincidentally, I’m a medicinal cultivator. I can refine the blood pill into a pill, so…”
At this point, Hu Wang understood Ye Haochuan’s meaning and laughed, “What are you talking about, the blood pill was something my father and you obtained together, and it’s a shame you’re troubled to bring it from so far away. We really ought to return it to you since we don’t need it.”
“The blood pill was exchanged with the old man’s life, how could I just take it like that? Therefore, I’ll offer ten million spirit crystals and hope Patriarch Hu can sell it to me cheaply.” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.
Hu Wang wasn’t planning on taking Ye Haochuan’s money, but as Ye Haochuan insisted adamantly, he didn’t know what else to say.
Anyway, the so-called ten million was already what he agreed to give Ye Haochuan just a moment ago. Now that Ye Haochuan has taken the blood pill, not giving the ten million is also acceptable.
Thinking of this, Hu Wang couldn’t help but chuckle. He felt Ye Haochuan’s first request was a prelude to the second one.
In this way, Ye Haochuan received nothing in terms of money but got the blood pill.
Actually, Ye Haochuan’s thoughts were exactly like this.
He saved the Hu Family, so it’s only right for him to receive a blood pill. But the blood pill is truly valuable, and it was exchanged for the old man’s life.
Even if the Hu Family members verbally agreed to give it, they’d inevitably feel a bit displeased.
Though not actually taking any money, buying it with money makes it more acceptable for the Hu Family members.
Indeed, Ye Haochuan’s thoughts were somewhat small-minded. Hu Wang wasn’t really concerned about the blood pill, Hu Ke’s turnaround seemed way more important to him.
“Apart from these two things, I actually have one more request.” After finishing the first two requests, Ye Haochuan hesitated a little.
“Feel free to say whatever’s on your mind!” Hu Wang replied heartily.
“I saw your brother’s technique earlier, it was gorgeous and incredibly powerful. I come from a remote place with little knowledge and can’t quite tell why this cultivation technique stands out. So I’d like to ask.” Ye Haochuan said a bit awkwardly.
Directly inquiring about others’ cultivation techniques is clearly impolite. After all, the secrets of a cultivation technique are essentially its vulnerabilities. Informing others easily can be extremely disadvantageous to oneself.
The “Nine-Tailed Sword Qi” technique stirred many waves in Ye Haochuan’s heart.
When he first saw this technique, he thought it was extraordinary. But when it came to an actual fight, he found its power quite ordinary, merely comparable to a normal Treasure-Level Mid-Stage cultivation technique, far inferior to techniques like “Xuanwu Force Vein.”
Later however, Hu Wang indicated it was the Hu Family’s traditional skill, suggesting Hu Ke hadn’t practiced seriously, hence the lack of power.
Recalling the impressive momentum of this technique before, Ye Haochuan was intrigued again.
Sure enough, hearing this question, the brows of Hu Wang and others furrowed involuntarily.
“I was too presumptuous; if it’s inconvenient, just consider it as though I never asked.” Ye Haochuan smiled awkwardly and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Hu Wang suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, “There’s no inconvenience, you are my Hu Family’s benefactor. Not only the secrets of this technique but I could even present it to you, how does that sound?”
What? Am I dreaming?
Ye Haochuan couldn’t believe his ears. While he envied this technique, he certainly dared not expect to obtain it.
Generally, cultivation techniques are not to be disseminated; even more so when it’s the Hu Family’s traditional technique, which is even less likely to be shared.
Sure enough, hearing this, Hu Zhong’s face suddenly showed anxiety, he quickly said, “Father, this is Hu Family’s secret, isn’t this… inappropriate?”
“Shut your mouth, Hu Family matters are none of your business!” Hu Wang said in a tone that left no room for argument.
“But I…” Hu Zhong was still unwilling, not knowing how to express it.
In his thoughts, Ye Haochuan has indeed helped the Hu Family, but this doesn’t justify passing on their traditional techniques.
Hu Ke, standing beside, frowned yet didn’t speak to stop it. After a long while, his brows slightly relaxed, glancing thoughtfully at Hu Wang.
Hu Wang didn’t concern himself with them, instead, he said to Ye Haochuan, “Junior Brother Ye, don’t feel guilty about accepting. Besides repaying the favor of saving my life, I also have a request, so please don’t refuse.”
Ye Haochuan truly felt guilty; he indeed did the Hu Family a favor, but he knew himself to be not worthy enough to receive their family heritage.
After all, even without him, the Hu Family wouldn’t fall, they’d just have a change of family head.
However, when Hu Wang mentioned having a request of his own, Ye Haochuan finally felt slightly relieved and quickly asked, “Please, Patriarch Hu, go ahead.”
Hu Wang glanced at Hu Zhong and said, “This unworthy son of mine has become accustomed to living recklessly, claiming to be adventuring under an alias but accomplishing nothing meaningful…”
Hu Zhong was a bit unsettled hearing this and said, “Father, I’m not as hopeless as you say, right?”
“You know yourself better!”
Hu Wang replied with a bit of a scold, then turned towards Ye Haochuan, “Junior Brother Ye, at such a young age, you already possess such combat prowess and practice dual cultivation, you’re undeniably a rare talent. I hope you won’t mind my son’s lack of refinement and allow him to follow you in hopes of encouraging him to be more diligent.”
