Inside the Xiao Family estate.
A row of over ten large trees stood here.
The youth slowly lay down on the shady grass, his eyes still heavy with sleep.
He looked like a laborer who had just finished his shift and was resting here.
A group of Xiao Family disciples, swords at their waists, walked by.
The disciples glanced at him, a look of disgust appearing on their faces.
The voices of a few disciples drifted from a distance:
"This swindler has been in our Xiao Family for over two months, yet the elders are telling us to treat him well?"
"Someone like him, how could he possibly be a hermit expert?"
"Exactly, exactly. I think the clan leader is just considering that waste's feelings and chose not to expose him, letting him get by until now..."
The disciples walked further away.
Although they spoke with their heads lowered, their voices were only slightly muffled and made no attempt to conceal their words.
They were deliberately speaking so Chu Feng could hear.
Chu Feng crossed his legs, not even glancing at the disciples.
He didn't care at all what others thought of him.
Rather than caring about others' words, Chu Feng cared more about the beautiful scenery and his comfort.
A gentle breeze brushed his face, and the warm sun filtered through the leaves, falling on his face. In this lazy, quiet afternoon, the distant clamor of human voices could be heard.
His pupils looked up at the lush green leaves at the top of the trees, and he smiled naturally:
"Comfortable, truly comfortable!"
"It's been over five months since I transmigrated to this world."
"Only these past two months at the Xiao Family have been what I call living!"
Chu Feng squinted his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to fall asleep like this, An icy electronic voice sounded in his ear without warning.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, disciple Xiao Huohuo has broken through to Qi Refining Layer One!]
[Ding, the system is returning tenfold!]
Suddenly, his body trembled.
A spiritual energy, as intense as a gale, surged within his body.
The surrounding trees were affected by the spiritual energy. On this breezy afternoon, the branches trembled violently.
A terrifying vortex of energy gathered here.
It wasn't until half a cup of tea's time had passed that the surrounding gathered aura slowly subsided.
Feeling the surging power within him, Chu Feng's eyes lit up:
"Huohuo has broken through!"
He immediately sat up straight with joy, and the blue light screen before him switched to his personal interface as he willed it.
[Host: Chu Feng]
[Cultivation: Great Perfection of Qi Refining]
His gaze swept over the cultivation column, and Chu Feng's joy was almost uncontrollable.
He felt as if the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had become even denser.
From the earth, flowers, plants, and trees, wisps of spiritual energy extended, connecting with his physical body.
His control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also instantly elevated to another level.
Although the system only said he received a tenfold return from his disciple, This return was not just in terms of power.
The abilities he possessed due to the realm he broke through to could be used as skillfully as if he had cultivated them normally.
Chu Feng took a deep breath, his face beaming with joy:
"Huohuo, Huohuo."
"You are truly my good disciple."
"I really didn't misjudge you!"
Chu Feng looked up at the sky, his irises shining brighter under the sunlight.
Taking Xiao Huohuo as a disciple was truly a good thing!
In the five months since he arrived in this world, he hadn't spent a single moment cultivating, yet he had gone from nothing to soaring, directly reaching the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining realm.
Even in the immortal cultivation novels of his previous life, this rate of progress was terrifying!
Now, he could finally rest assured that he wouldn't be exposed.
In other words, he was now a true powerhouse.
He no longer had to live the days of being ostentatious and deceptive, fearing exposure.
Previously, a simple Body Refining fourth layer had terrified the entire Xiao Family, making them revere him as some kind of Grandmaster expert.
Although that was merely the result of him unleashing all his Spiritual Energy, not his true Combat strength.
But that was enough to explain many things.
If even Qi Refining fourth level had reached that point before, how much stronger would he be now that he had broken through to Qi Refining completion? What realm would he be equivalent to in Martial Cultivation?
What level would his actual combat be equivalent to in Martial Cultivation?
Speaking of Combat strength, Chu Feng was a little puzzled at the moment.
He hadn't learned a single move or two so far.
And his silly disciple was the same; he didn't seem to have learned any martial arts either.
Even when fighting the Xiao Family's Third Elder before, he had only relied on his speed and strength amplified by the Nine Spiritual Energies, winning through sheer force.
Thinking of this, Chu Feng couldn't sit still.
Now that he had a foundation in his realm, how could he possibly unleash this power perfectly without some handy martial skills?!
Immediately after, Spiritual Energy lifted him up, floating in the air.
Spiritual Energy stirred up a gust of wind on the ground, rustling the green grass beneath him.
As this aura grew more intense and the wind grew wilder, the weeds below became increasingly restless.
In less than three breaths, Chu Feng's body trembled violently, and he vanished into thin air.
In the distance, a group of Xiao Family disciples practicing swordplay under the blazing sun froze in place.
With a clang.
They lost their grip on their long swords, which fell to the ground.
One by one, the disciples were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief:
"Did he just disappear into thin air?"
Regret immediately appeared on the faces of all the disciples, their faces turning green.
How could they not understand what had just happened?
The person Xiao Huohuo brought back was a genuine peerless expert!
They had truly found a treasure!
They stopped practicing their swords and scattered in all directions.
And for a time, the shouts of the Xiao Family disciples echoed throughout the manor:
"Immortal Master, where are you?!"
However, no matter how loudly they called, they received no response.
Xiao Residence, backyard.
A small courtyard stood here.
The courtyard wasn't large but contained five rooms.
In the small courtyard, on the far left from the gate, eight wooden stakes were arranged in a row.
A youngster stood before the wooden stakes, his gaze unfocused as he looked at them.
He shifted his stance and forcefully threw a punch with both hands.
Pow pow!!
As he punched, the two wooden stakes in front of him, as thick as a person's head, instantly turned to powder!
Xiao Huohuo's face also overflowed with joy:
"The strength of the Qi Refining Realm is indeed beyond our imagination."
"It's far stronger than any first-rate martial artist!"
Without hesitation, he moved.
As he strode forward, his body moved rapidly, and his fists struck out fiercely.
Pow pow pow pow pow pow!
Wherever Xiao Huohuo's fists landed, the wooden stakes shattered into fragments and flew away.
After completing the set, all eight wooden stakes were reduced to remnants, yet Xiao Huohuo remained unfazed, his breathing steady.
