Inside the Xiao Family Hall.
Xiao Zhan was still stunned, lowering his head to savor every word Chu Feng had previously spoken.
"If you don't cultivate, seeing me is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky..."
"If you cultivate, seeing me is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky..."
He suddenly looked up, shaking his head with a complex sigh.
"A Grandmaster in one day, such talent is truly chilling."
The sigh was echoed by the Three Elders.
They never expected that the endpoint they pursued their entire lives was something their guest couldn't even touch at their starting point.
Comparing oneself to others truly makes one angry!
Chu Feng remained seated on the wooden chair, lightly sipping his tea.
He glanced sideways at these astonished people, inwardly delighted, but also let out a long sigh of relief.
Only now was he completely at ease.
"Fortunately, I was steady enough to wait until Xiao Huohuo broke through to Spirit Absorption into Body with nine spiritual energies, and after receiving the System's feedback for Qi Refining Fourth Level, before leaving the forest and coming to the Xiao Family."
"If I had been powerless, or even had weaker cultivation, I wouldn't have been able to put on such a successful act today."
"Instead, I might have been mistaken for a liar and kicked out of the Xiao Family with a club."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of a cultivation method for cultivating immortality, it was indeed superior to martial cultivation.
Qi Cultivation Fourth Level, in his previous life, would have been nothing more than a small fry in any cultivation system of any novel.
But in this world of martial artists, which wasn't even high martial, it was a bomb, a nuclear bomb!
The Lord of a city, the three Houtian powerhouses of Dongli City, seeing him, were as if they had seen a ghost, trembling and bowing to him with great reverence.
However, it was also true that the strength of martial artists in this world was generally not bad, making it a mid-martial world.
If it were a low-martial world, the bottom limit of cultivating immortality would already be the ceiling of the martial dao, which martial artists could not reach.
At this moment, seeing that the atmosphere had completely eased.
Xiao Zhan respectfully came before Chu Feng and sincerely apologized again.
"It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness earlier, for being short-sighted and doubting Senior."
As he spoke, he immediately perked up and said, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. There were reasons for our previous actions."
"Huohuo was too naive and had been deceived too many times before, even losing his underpants a few times."
"Because of this, I, as his father, couldn't help but want to test you, which offended Senior."
Xiao Zhan, as the head of the clan, bowed and apologized with a smile on his face, his attitude extremely sincere.
If the first apology was truly out of fear, then this second one had the intention of easing the tension and getting closer.
After all, they say a smiling face is easier to deal with.
His two extremely sincere apologies could completely put the matter behind them, even if it wasn't a small issue.
Chu Feng waved his hand at this moment, still appearing unconcerned, and his tone became much more relaxed.
"It's just a small matter, no harm done."
"After all, you were doing it for my foolish disciple."
Hearing this, the Three Elders finally relaxed completely.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan, who was still looking down, was extremely excited, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
"Today's events are truly a blessing for me, Xiao Zhan!"
Not only did he witness a master who might surpass Grandmasters, someone who only existed in legends.
Moreover, his child had actually taken him as a master!
His eyes sparkled with a hint of light, and he thought to himself.
"With the support of such an expert, who could shake the Southern Desolate Realm with just a twitch of his foot, Huohuo might actually have a chance to win the Three-Year Pact and bring glory to my Xiao Family."
After a moment of excitement, Xiao Zhan stood up and said even more solemnly.
"Esteemed expert, not only did you take Huohuo as your disciple, but you also so magnanimously forgave our offense."
"If we don't show any gratitude, and the world finds out, won't they gossip behind our backs, saying the Xiao Family is impolite?"
As Xiao Zhan said this, the Three Elders immediately responded with excited expressions.
"The Clan Leader speaks the truth."
"Our Xiao Family, as the foremost clan in Dongli City, represents the reputation of the entire Dongli City."
"This matter absolutely cannot be let go just like that."
Before Chu Feng could respond, the four of them arrived before him one after another, presenting gifts.
Xiao Zhan held a piece of jade and offered it to Chu Feng, saying, "Expert, this is top-grade Heavenly Jade from Tianshan, which is rich in jade production. It has the miraculous effects of nourishing the body and calming the mind."
"I hope the expert will accept it."
The First Elder squeezed next to Xiao Zhan, holding a pure white jade bottle. He also offered it to Chu Feng, saying, "Expert, this is the Tiger Tendon Snake Gallbladder Pill refined by the Dragon Tiger Sect. It has the effect of tempering tendons and bones, and nourishing Qi and Blood."
"I know the expert doesn't need it, but the expert can keep it for disciples to use in the future. Please accept it..."
Before the First Elder could finish speaking, the Second Elder and Third Elder squeezed over together.
Chu Feng glanced at them and chuckled helplessly, "Since it's all a token of appreciation from Huohuo's elders, this seat shall accept it."
With that, he put the four treasures before him into his sleeve.
Seeing that Chu Feng had accepted their treasures, the four of them let out long sighs of relief, a hint of joy appearing on their faces.
If the expert was willing to accept their thank-you gifts, it meant he had likely forgiven them.
And since the expert had forgiven them, he was also Huohuo's Master.
With this connection, their Xiao Family had become associated with a super expert at the Grandmaster realm or above.
This was a great honor!
Let alone the other great families in Dongli City, even the Imperial Family of Lihuo Kingdom might not have such an opportunity.
Moreover, if the Xiao Family encountered any trouble in the future, as Huohuo's Master, wouldn't this expert, for Huohuo's sake, refuse to ignore it?
After a bout of daydreaming, the First Elder snapped back to reality. He turned to Huohuo and asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Huohuo."
"You've taken the expert as your Master. How is your strength now?"
"Do you have any hope of defeating the Young Master of the Misty Sect in three months?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the other two also looked at Huohuo, their eyes filled with anticipation.
However, under their gaze, Huohuo's expression was somewhat dejected. He lowered his head, looking crestfallen. "Dad, the three elders."
"Huohuo's talent is far inferior to Master's."
"Under Master's guidance, after cultivating for three months, I've only managed to absorb nine spiritual energies into my body."
"Cultivating Immortality, cultivating immortality. I haven't even crossed the threshold of cultivation yet."
Seeing Huohuo's dejected look, Xiao Zhan and the other two felt a chill in their hearts, and the smiles on their lips faded.
Indeed, Huohuo's talent was too poor.
He had cultivated for over ten years before, and was only a third-rate martial artist.
Even for a powerful expert like the Expert, there was nothing that could be done in just a few months, right?
Xiao Zhan sighed and looked at Huohuo.
Absorbing nine spiritual energies in three months was indeed a bit...
Suddenly, Xiao Zhan's pupils trembled violently. He immediately reacted and gasped, "Absorbed nine spiritual energies?"
"Huohuo, what does that mean?"
"What do you mean by cultivating immortality, cultivating immortality?"
