Chapter 151 - Shocking the Two

“Heavens, wasn’t Chen Fan martial trash with an iron-like dantian and blocked meridians? How did he cultivate to this level?”

“Who knows? Perhaps the Spring Autumn Sect has the solution to his problems and helped him soar to new heights. After all, it\'s a vast sect with as many experts as there are raindrops in the rain.”

“......”

The crowd watched as Chen Tianyin, along with his followers, left Chen Tianxiong\'s courtyard in disappointment, exchanging gossip among themselves.

Many were surprised by Chen Fan\'s sudden display of strength, effectively quashing Chen Tianyin\'s arrogance.

“Xiaofan...”

After everyone had left, Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong fixed their gaze on Chen Fan.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Father, Grandfather?” Chen Fan said helplessly, rubbing the tip of his nose.

"Xiaofan," Chen Zhengqing said earnestly, "even I can\'t sense your cultivation level. Be straightforward—are you a Qi Grandmaster?"

He was once a Yuanfu realm powerhouse; although his primeval vessel was damaged, he hadn’t lost his perception. When he tried to sense Chen Fan’s cultivation, he only saw a mysterious fog.

Chen Fan nodded and said, “That’s right.”

“Really?”

Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong’s eyes widened in pleasant surprise.

Releasing a bit of his Qi Grandmaster aura, he explained, “Father, Grandfather, my cultivation technique is quite unique, allowing me to hide my cultivation level.”

Chen Zhengqing said, “In that case, Xiaofan, your dantian and meridians...”

“About half a year ago, I was struck by lightning. It unexpectedly opened up my dantian and unblocked my meridians.”

“Struck by lightning?”

“Only half a year ago?”

Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong were stunned by Chen Fan’s words.

Struck by lightning yet blessed with profound benefits, Chen Fan had transformed from martial trash to a Qi Grandmaster in just six months.

However, the two weren’t simpletons, so when they heard Chen Fan’s explanation, they quickly realized that he must have come across some kind of heavenly encounter.

Since Chen Fan hadn’t brought the matter up, they decided to let it rest. After all, the fewer people knew about it, the better. If news of it spread, they could draw a blood calamity to themselves.

“Good, the heavens have blessed my grandson!” Chen Tianxiong was truly shedding tears of joy.

Chen Zhengqing said, “Xiaofan, setting your advancement aside, we still have to discuss the Tan and Liu clan’s imminent attack. Even with you on our side, we have only four Qi Grandmasters, while the combined forces of the two clans boast six."

Unfazed, Chen Fan reassured, “No need to worry, Father. If the two clans really dare to start a war with our Chen Clan, I’ll obliterate them, securing our clan’s dominance in Xuanyang City!”

Chen Fan\'s confidence and dismissive attitude toward the two clans made Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong’s hearts beat faster.

Could it be that Chen Fan was a peak-stage Qi Grandmaster?

Without dwelling on the matter, Chen Fan changed the subject. “Father, I have good news for you.”

“What good news?” Chen Zhengqing asked.

“Take a look at this.” Chen Fan smiled, revealing the Buddhist Bone Relic.

A golden Buddha light instantly enveloped the hall, accompanied by a resonant Sanskrit chant.

Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong’s eyes narrowed before they exclaimed in shock, “This is... a Buddhist Bone Relic!”

“That’s right.” Chen Fan nodded and said, “Father, this Buddhist Bone Relic can heal your injuries.”

Overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Zhengqing stammered, “This... this... Where did you get this, Xiaofan?”

His injuries have been around for over a decade and often flared up. He had to suppress it regularly to prevent his primeval vessel from completely shattering and losing all his cultivation.

Despite trying various remedies over the years, none proved effective. Elixirs capable of re-condensing his primeval vessel were exceedingly rare, far beyond the Chen Clan\'s means in Xuanyang City.

Resigned to a life burdened by his condition, he had expected to succumb to complete disability once he could no longer suppress his injuries. However, Chen Zhengqing found unexpected hope when Chen Fan produced the Buddhist Bone Relic.

“Don’t get too excited, Father. Aside from the Buddhist Bone Relic, there’s also this.” Chen Fan smiled faintly and then took out the Sun Stone.

“This... this... a Sun Stone!”

Chen Zhengqing was knowledgeable. Sensing the fiery essence in the gemstone, his qi began quivering, immediately recognizing its significance.

“Father, take both the Buddhist Bone Relic and the Sun Stone. Begin secluded cultivation at once to heal your injuries.” Chen Fan shoved those two items into Chen Zhengqing’s hands.

Shifting his attention to Chen Tianxiong, Chen Fan said with a smile, “Grandfather, your grandson here has brought something good for you too. Look.”

He presented a wooden box and Golden-Threaded Jade Clothing.

“This is an Innate Golden Armor!”

Chen Tianxiong immediately recognized the Golden-Threaded Jade Clothing, visibly stunned.

Opening the wooden box, he found a round pill emitting a faint fragrance. A whiff of it made Chen Tianxiong feel his cultivation bottleneck slightly loosening.

“This is... a Realm Breaking Pill!” Chen Tianxiong exclaimed in shock.

“Mmm, Grandfather, take the Realm Breaking Pill. I’ll give you some other treasures. You can go into secluded cultivation with Father and try to break through to the Yuanfu realm!”

Chen Fan smiled and said, “Once Father recovers and you advance to the Yuanfu realm, our Chen Clan will boast two Yuanfu realm powerhouses, enabling us to thrive in a grade-2 city or even a grade-1 city.”

Chen Tianxiong suddenly suppressed his smile and said sternly, “Xiaofan, Grandfather is old. Even with the Realm Breaking Pill, my chances of breaking through are slim. You, on the other hand, are already a Qi Grandmaster at such a young age. It\'s better if you consume it.”

However, Chen Fan shoved the Innate Golden Armor and the Realm Breaking Pill into Chen Tianxiong’s hand with a smile. “Grandfather, I don’t need something like that to break through. The Realm Breaking Pill was intended for you from the start.”

“This...”

“Grandfather, I am not lying. The Realm Breaking Pill isn’t useful to me. Consuming it would be a waste for me, but it\'s different for you. It can help you advance into the Yuanfu realm!”

“Take it, Father. I trust Xiaofan,” Chen Zhengqing said.

He could no longer see through his son.

Buddhist Bone Relic, Sun Stone, Realm Breaking Pill, Innate Golden Armor—all four items were rare treasures capable of inciting fierce competition.

However, Chen Fan seemed to view those items as trash, indifferent to their value.

“Alright then. I will be accepting them. Ah, the Yuanfu realm...”

Chen Tianxiong conscientiously put the Realm Breaking Pill away, his heart stirring and his blood boiling. Despite the cooling of his blood over the years, it now surged with newfound warmth.
