Grandfather Is Shocked, Deity Transformation Potential?

[Immediately, your grandfather was overjoyed, dancing with excitement as he said, "Heaven blesses our Mu Family!"]

[He excitedly placed a hand on your shoulder, "My grandson has Deity Transformation Potential!"]

[Upon hearing "Deity Transformation Potential," your face was covered in black lines; you could only mutter a rebuttal in your heart.]

[Your father, who had been watching everything from the side, couldn't help but straighten his back.]

[It was as if he were saying: Old man, look at whose son this is.]

[However, your grandfather did not notice this.]

[Your father told your grandfather about his suspicion that you might possess a Special Constitution.]

[Your grandfather's thick brows furrowed tightly.]

[You felt a bit worried, wondering if your grandfather had noticed something.]

[Your grandfather continued, "A Special Constitution? Our lineage truly lacks knowledge regarding such things..."]

["Years ago, when I traveled abroad, I did indeed meet someone with a Special Constitution. However, I was merely a lowly Qi Cultivation practitioner back then, while that young cultivator, who was about my age, had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Realm..."]

["Thinking back now, the gap between us only grows wider, like fireflies compared to the bright moon..."]

[After speaking, your grandfather sighed deeply.]

[It seemed like helplessness, yet also a sense of resignation.]

[You had not expected that your grandfather had actually encountered someone with a Special Constitution in his early years.]

[You spoke up to comfort your grandfather.]

[Your grandfather laughed, "Your grandfather has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice; do you really need to worry for this old man?"]

[Your grandfather said that this secret realm was first discovered by the Wang Family Ancestor, and after his observation, only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm could enter.]

[The Wang Family Ancestor had specifically invited him to explore the realm, and after your grandfather's own observation, the facts were indeed as the Wang Family Ancestor had stated.]

[In truth, this secret realm was full of suspicious points, and the reason he intended to go was twofold.]

[First, this secret realm might have been left behind by a Golden Core cultivator, and it could potentially hold countless opportunities.]

[Second, the Zhang Family Ancestor, one of the three great families of Jinzhou City, would also be attending. With him and the Zhang Family Ancestor there, there would be no fear of the Wang Family Ancestor secretly plotting anything.]

[But, upon learning that you possessed a Special Constitution and had dreamed of the clan's destruction a year later, your grandfather had to consider the matter carefully.]

[Ultimately, with the joint persuasion of you and your father, your grandfather decided to give up on the upcoming trip to the secret realm.]

[Upon learning that your grandfather had given up on going to the secret realm, you let out a long sigh of relief in your heart.]

[You seemed to have found a way to break the deadlock.]

[Therefore, you were so excited that you couldn't sleep all night.]

[The next day, you swallowed the Spirit Replenishing Pill given by your grandfather.]

[You felt the pill enter your throat, and a spicy sensation instantly permeated your throat, filling your entire mouth a moment later.]

[Moreover, the pill in your stomach was not settling; a stinging, burning sensation radiated from your abdomen, as painful as if you were being scorched by fire.]

[You felt as if you had swallowed a burning coal ball whole.]

[You endured the pain to refine the pill.]

[At nightfall, you finally refined the medicinal power of the pill.]

[However, a large portion of the medicinal power remained in your meridians, not yet fully refined.]

[You felt your energy was incredibly vigorous at this moment, as if you had eaten a miracle tonic. Your entire skin became scorching hot, as if it were burning.]

["I want to take on ten... no, I want to break through the tenth-layer bottleneck!" you couldn't help but boast.]

[You immediately prepared to charge at the bottleneck.]

[You successfully broke through the fifth-layer bottleneck.]

[You attempted to charge at the sixth-layer bottleneck.]

[The attempt to charge at the sixth-layer bottleneck failed.]

[You charged again...]

[...]

[...]

[The next day, you successfully broke through the tenth-layer bottleneck!]

[You successfully broke through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining!]

"?!"

"I just successfully broke through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining?"

"Are you kidding me, brother? One pill broke through five bottlenecks!"

"This isn't a pill; this is clearly a cheat!"

Mu Xingqi exclaimed in amazement.

He hadn't expected that the Spirit Replenishing Pill his grandfather gave him as a greeting gift would be so damn powerful.

It was simply like a little cow sitting on an airplane—it was "cow-b" (awesome) to the heavens!

[Having successfully broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining and smoothly entered the late stage of Qi Cultivation, you were overjoyed.]

[In December of the second year, the New Year arrived.]

[Because your grandfather came out of seclusion early, your father was able to find time to spend the New Year with you this year.]

[At the New Year's Eve Dinner, you, your father, your mother, and Mu Xinger were like a family, laughing and chatting in harmony.]

[At this moment, you were in a trance; this was the best New Year you had ever spent.]

[You did not know that a figure not far away was silently watching everything.]

[You were very familiar with that figure. He seemed not to want to disturb your family, and after watching for a while, he left with satisfaction...]

[In January of the third year, your mother and Mu Xinger were still busy with alchemy, and your father was busy with clan affairs.]

[You focused on your cultivation.]

[At the same time, you set aside time to hone your techniques.]

[In the same month, Mu Xinger's Alchemy Skill advanced to Yellow Grade Mid Rank, and the clan produced two new Yellow Grade Low Rank alchemists.]

[The entire clan celebrated.]

[Your grandfather personally bestowed upon Mu Xinger the title of Deputy Hall Master of the Pill Hall, and no one in the clan had any objections.]

[In February of the third year, the annual Clan Competition opened.]

[Your grandfather specifically instructed you to participate; although you had questions, you agreed.]

[Under your grandfather's guidance, your progress in technique cultivation accelerated.]

[On the eve of the Clan Competition, you successfully brought the Fire Snake Technique and Water Flowing Steps to the stage of Minor Accomplishment!]

[You signed up for the Clan Competition.]

[This year's Clan Competition was presided over by the Sixth Elder, Mu Shengshi.]

[At the same time, he was your own second uncle, your father's younger brother.]

[The Clan Competition arrived as scheduled.]

[Your opponent in the first round was a disciple from a branch lineage.]

[You successfully advanced.]

[The disciple in your second round was also from a branch lineage.]

[You continued to advance.]

[...]

[The next day, you encountered your eighth sister, Mu Xingyu, in your first match.]

[Mu Xingyu was one of the four beauties of the clan, and naturally, she was graceful and elegant.]

[Mu Xingyu wore a simple, elegant white dress, her black hair tied high, her pretty face devoid of makeup, as if carved from jade; the whole person was as elegant as a magnolia.]

[It made you want to take a few more looks, because she was truly too charming.]

[As soon as Mu Xingyu stepped onto the stage, she drew a wave of cheers, as enthusiastic as a concert by a famous singer from your past life.]

[You cupped your hands, "Greetings, Eighth Sister!"]

[Mu Xingyu responded in kind, "Greetings, Ninth Brother."]

[The match began.]

[You had already broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, while Mu Xingyu had only just broken through to the Fifth Level of Qi Refining not long ago; naturally, she was no match for you and was quickly defeated.]

[You were naturally not someone who would be cruel to a flower, so you stopped at the appropriate point.]

[Mu Xingyu cast a grateful look at you.]

[After a few more rounds of competition, you successfully advanced to the final four.]

[In the first round of the final four, your opponent was your seventh brother, Mu Xingluo.]

[Mu Xingluo had also already broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.]

[However, he was even more surprised that you had actually broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining as well!]

[He asked himself, was the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining not common enough?]

[You had to know that it had taken him a great deal of effort to break through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining; how could you, being so much younger than him, have caught up to his cultivation level?]

[Mu Xingluo found it somewhat difficult to accept for a moment...]
