On the way, Qin Shaofeng learned why Hu Xiaochuan's father had broken through.
It concerned a secret of the Hu Family!
The martial arts technique cultivated by the Hu Family was somewhat special. It allowed them to perform a kind of empowerment upon direct blood relatives.
In fact, Hu Xiaochuan had only learned recently that his grandfather was already at the end of his rope.
Hu Xiaochuan's grandfather was a Xiantian Grandmaster at the peak realm, but he had been stuck there for a very long time—more than a decade already.
With no hope of breaking through, Hu Xiaochuan's grandfather began considering other options.
Seeing just how extraordinary Hu Xiaochuan's talent was, the old man had planned to wait until Hu Xiaochuan reached the Xiantian Grandmaster realm, then empower him with all the cultivation he had amassed in his lifetime.
That way, Hu Xiaochuan's breakthrough to become a Xiantian Grandmaster would absolutely not have been a problem.
But unfortunately, Hu Xiaochuan was poisoned in the end, and all his cultivation was scattered. That was also a severe blow to the old man.
In the end, Hu Xiaochuan's grandfather settled for second best and planned to empower Hu Xiaochuan's father instead.
Although Hu Xiaochuan's father did not possess cultivation talent as great as Hu Xiaochuan's.
But at this point, Hu Xiaochuan's grandfather could no longer afford to worry about such things. Even if he did not empower anyone, he only had a few years left to live.
At first, everything went smoothly, and Hu Xiaochuan's father successfully advanced to the Xiantian Grandmaster realm.
But later, when Hu Xiaochuan's grandfather was empowering his father, something went wrong.
It was not exactly a bad thing. While receiving the empowerment, Hu Xiaochuan's father deliberately stopped the final step—the injection of vitality—in order to preserve
