You Still Have Some Potential to Be a NTR Cuckold, Old Man

The matter of the Misty Cloud Sect's broken engagement had come to an end. Next would be Xiao Yan's rise.

Xiao Jin had not been idle either. He knew that the Jia Nan Academy's admissions would begin in roughly a year.

With Xiao Jin's strength, he would not gain much by going to Jia Nan Academy, but he was still deeply interested in it. That was because Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion was buried in the underground magma beneath Jia Nan Academy.

He knew that the cave mansion contained restrictions set up by Tou She Ancient God. Even Zhu Kun, an Ancient Void Dragon at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint level, had been trapped inside for several thousand years.

Yet he still wanted to investigate it. Not only because it contained the secrets of the last Dou Emperor on the Dou Qi Continent, but also because there was an important ally there whom he could recruit.

Xiao Jin possessed the advantage of foresight and knew about the relationship between Zi Yan and Zhu Kun.

Thus, he could make some arrangements. By winning over Zi Yan, he could bring Zhu Kun into his camp.

Moreover, although Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion had restrictions, they did not affect everyone indiscriminately.

Based on Xiao Jin's guess, as long as one harbored no designs on Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, the restrictions would not be triggered.

Otherwise, when Xiao Yan had first encountered Zhu Kun, he would never have made it back alive.

It was precisely because he had not triggered the restrictions that he had been able to leave the barrier around Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion smoothly. Zhu Kun, on the other hand, had been trapped inside, unable even to penetrate the barrier with his attacks.

Regardless, he had to make this trip to Jia Nan Academy.

However, before going to Jia Nan Academy, he still had some important matters to take care of.

"You really are willing to part with it." Pill Tower Ancestor watched Xiao Jin rummaging through his Storage Ring and could not help sighing. "Since this old man died, no one on the continent has been able to refine a Ninth-Grade Golden Pill for several hundred years. I can't believe you're willing to give such a treasure to someone as a gift."

Xiao Jin said indifferently, "You know what my relationship with Xun'er is like. With the assistance of this Ninth-Grade Golden Pill, Xun'er's cultivation speed will increase several times over. She is already the Ancient Clan's once-in-a-thousand-years God-Grade Bloodline. After taking this Ninth-Grade Golden Pill, she will definitely be able to advance to the Dou Saint realm before she turns thirty."

In the original story, Xiao Yan had advanced to the Dou Saint realm at the age of thirty-one, making him a genius rarely seen since ancient times.

If Xun'er could advance to the Dou Saint realm before turning thirty, she would be even more impressive than Xiao Yan in the original story.

Actually, Xiao Jin's Storage Ring was truly miraculous. Perhaps because it knew that his strength was lacking and that he needed a great deal of time to improve, most of the high-grade medicinal pills inside had gentle medicinal properties. Even someone with a very low cultivation level could take them.

Just like this Ninth-Grade Golden Pill that Xiao Jin had prepared for Xun'er.

The medicinal pill was called the Emperor Blood Guidance Pill. It could draw out the Dou Emperor Bloodline within the user's body and further increase the purity of the bloodline.

During subsequent cultivation, its medicinal power would draw upon the Dou Emperor Bloodline and increase the user's cultivation speed. The higher the bloodline purity, the greater the increase.

With Xun'er's aptitude, it could increase her cultivation speed by at least six or seven times.

Her cultivation speed was already heaven-defying. If it increased by another six or seven times, Xiao Jin did not even dare imagine how outrageous it would become.

The Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills provided by the Storage Ring almost all focused on improving aptitude and increasing cultivation speed.

Their massive medicinal power would be released gradually during cultivation until the user advanced to the high-level Dou Saint realm.

Take note: this referred to the high-level Dou Saint realm, not the level of a new Dou Saint who had just reached one-star or two-star.

Based on Xiao Jin's estimate, together with the power of her bloodline, this Emperor Blood Guidance Pill could at the very least assist Xun'er in breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm.

In Xiao Jin's view, with this Storage Ring, the old men living in rings, systems, and the like were all complete trash by comparison.

He had taken two Ninth-Grade Medicinal Pills himself: one Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill and one Ninth-Grade Profound Pill. Otherwise, even with his monstrous aptitude, it would have been impossible for him to reach the Dou Wang realm at the age of fifteen.

Pill Tower Ancestor clicked his tongue in amazement. "If I didn't know your personality, boy, I would have thought you had feelings for that girl."

"Disgusting!" Xiao Jin cast Pill Tower Ancestor a disdainful look. "You're an old geezer who's lived for a thousand years. Can't you keep your thoughts a little purer?"

Pill Tower Ancestor was not angered. He simply chuckled. "Not bad. It seems your thoughts really are quite pure. Then, when that girl gets married in the future, are you planning to give her husband a grand gift as well?"

Xiao Jin: "..."

Pill Tower Ancestor pressed on relentlessly. "Tsk, tsk. That girl is already so beautiful now, and she'll certainly become a peerless beauty in the future. Her future husband really will be getting a bargain. Just imagining that girl wearing a wedding dress and leaning in some man's arms makes even this old man feel envious."

Xiao Jin: "???"

"Little fellow, I see that you still have several Ninth-Grade Golden Pills in your Storage Ring. Why not set one aside? It should be a gift of sufficient caliber for the future wedding."

Xiao Jin: "!!!"

Enough. I said enough!

Under Pill Tower Ancestor's repeated attacks, a bitter, sour feeling welled up in Xiao Jin's heart.

He shook his head, driving away the image of Xun'er leaning in another man's arms, then said fiercely, "I didn't realize you had some potential to be a NTR cuckold, old man."

"What NTR cuckold? Isn't that girl your younger sister?" Having spent so long with Xiao Jin, Pill Tower Ancestor was not so ignorant that he failed to understand even this new term.

Xiao Jin was rendered speechless. Only after a long while did he force a few words out.

"Xun'er and I aren't related by blood."

Pill Tower Ancestor gave a sly chuckle and said nothing more. With a whoosh, he returned to the Storage Ring.

Nestled comfortably inside the Storage Ring, Pill Tower Ancestor felt indescribably pleased.

Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan, so what if you were a powerhouse from the same era as me? Your daughter still ended up benefiting my disciple.

My disciple wants to marry your daughter. That shouldn't be beneath the status of your Ancient Clan, should it?

But as he laughed, a trace of loneliness suddenly surfaced on Pill Tower Ancestor's face.

"Alas, little fellow, don't end up like this old man. Those who disappoint someone's sincere feelings will only regret it in the end..."

The room fell completely silent. Xiao Jin stared blankly at the Emperor Blood Guidance Pill in his hand, lost in thought.

After a long while, he finally composed himself and left the room.

Standing outside the entrance to Xun'er's courtyard, Xiao Jin raised his hand several times, only to lower it again.

After talking with Pill Tower Ancestor, he suddenly felt that he no longer knew how to face Xun'er.

The courtyard door suddenly opened from within. A girl in a purple dress looked at the young man before her with confusion.

"Brother Xiao Jin, why didn't you knock?"

If Ling Ying had not told her that Xiao Jin had been standing outside her door for a long time, she would not have known that he had arrived.

Xiao Jin forced a smile. "Um, Xun'er, I have something to discuss with you."

"Come in and talk, Brother Xiao Jin." The girl stepped aside to let him pass. As Xiao Jin walked by, he caught a fresh and elegant fragrance.

Normally, he should have long since grown accustomed to this scent.

But perhaps because his state of mind had changed, when he smelled it this time, he unexpectedly felt awkward and helpless.

Xun'er also keenly sensed the change in Xiao Jin.

Watching the young man's slightly stiff movements, the girl tilted her head and murmured to herself, "What's wrong with Brother Xiao Jin? Why does he seem so strange?"
