"Golden Pill Stage 1…"
"Golden Pill Stage 2…"
"Golden Pill…My God, he's not breaking through the Golden Pill Stage to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, is he?
"No, he can't be that abnormally strong, right?"
Absorbing the thunder tribulation of the Ninth Heaven sounded ridiculous but Yun Che did it anyway. Most importantly, he survived, and his cultivation was increasing madly as his wound was healed. Heiyu counted and counted and Ye Xingchen and the others' voice trembled. The advancement of cultivation and superfunction was the same and the later stage they were in, the harder they were going to advance. They were both cultivators and superfunction possessors so they were clear about this. So it would be a miracle if they were not shocked at seeing Yun Che advancing in such a ridiculous speed after just undergoing thunder tribulation.
Only Xing Feng and Fei Ye, both of whom were shocked as well, were not frightened. Instead, they both cracked happy smiles on their faces. They were happy for Yun Che!
"Boom…"
"Oh no, he was really breaking through the Golden Pill Stage to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. Quick, let's form an array!"
The aura within a radius of hundreds of miles was instantly drained by Yun Che. Heiyu roared and those who were horrified by Yun Che's crazy advancement shivered in unison, and combined their efforts to form an array in a radius of tens of miles centered on Yun Che.
The aura from the outside world was not enough to support Yun Che to make it to Nascent Soul Stage, and just when Heiyu was about to suggest that they contribute their crystal nuclei to defend against it for a while, a distorted space suddenly appeared above Yun Che, tremendous aura leaking from inside of it. Knowing that Yun Che should be aware of everything in the outside world and have opened the space door, Heiyu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
"Boom boom…"
The wounds on Yun Che were almost healed. At this moment, his body was operating like a massive project, and after the aura entered his body, it was quickly turned into pure spiritual energy, which swept into his pubic region. The golden pill originally floating in his pubic region had long since turned into a small silver-white man sitting with his legs crossed. The little man looked exactly like Yun Che, and the spiritual energy poured into his pubic region was all absorbed by him.
It lasted for about an hour and the absorption of the aura finally stopped and the space door closed. Yun Che, who was sitting cross-legged and making figure gestures, slowly opened his eyes. His body that had been split open by lightning had regained its usual fairness and smoothness, and he looked even a bit peaceful and unworldly, resembling some immortal.
"Sorry for making you guys worry."
A bright smile appeared on his delicate and handsome face. He knew that he had won the bet, which was clearly proven by his cultivation level and the superfunction level.
"Crap master, You're in Nascent Soul Stage 3. Nascent Soul Stage 3. Can you be more ridiculous?"
Heiyu, who was the first one to come back to his senses, threw himself at him. He immediately turned into a puppy and ran into his arms. Withstanding tribulations would not improve the cultivation. Nevertheless, his master did it and took a great leap forward from Golden Pill Stage 1 to Nascent Soul Stage 3. He was just unbelievable and one could never find a man in the world that were more ridiculous than him.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
Otherwise, he would not be able to resist the urge to throw him out.
Yun Che stood up with Heiyu in his arms, and the next moment fell into a familiar and warm embrace. Xing Feng buried his head deep in his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Che, congratulations!"
His success was all about risking his life. They had seen it with their own bare eyes how horrendous the thunder tribulation was, and even now, he still felt gut-wrenching by thinking of the scene.
"Haha…Feng, you should try harder to improve yourself."
Hugging him in return, Yun Che couldn't help but joke about him when he remembered how depressed Xing Feng was when he made it to level 5 before him the last time.
Xing Feng, who was holding him in arms, stiffened, and then pushed him away to dotingly scrape his nose, "You're naughty!
That being said, it seemed that he really should work harder. That was his price for marrying such a abnormally strong man. If he didn't work hard, he would have to stay at home feeding babies. Alas, the pressure was huge!
"You've become so strong all of a sudden. What do you need us for?"
Fei Ye's voice sounded at the right time. He had also started cultivating, and Heiyu had passed on the toxin refining technique to him, so naturally he was well aware what Nascent Soul Stage meant and how absurd it was for Yun Che to directly break through the Golden Pill Stage to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
"Yeah, Che, you're making me look useless, aren't you? Don't overshadow us all the time, alright?"
"Che, you are a complete and utter pervert. That's my conclusion!"
"Che, you scared the hell out of me. I thought…"
"Uncle, uncle…"
"Brother…"
With them leading the way, the others all started, taunting or crying with excitement. They were all exhilarated not only because Yun Che's strength had increased massively, but he had survived the blast of the thunder tribulation of Nineth Heaven. They were a united whole. Though power meant a lot, the most important thing was that Yun Che was alive.
When they returned to the base, Yun Che instructed the others to go into the Space, while he and Xing Feng rode on Heiyu and entered Section C through the north gate. When they arrived at home, the night had approached. The next few days, the family all turned a blind eye towards the outside world, and they didn't even go out on missions. Instead, they were cultivating in the Space all day long, only taking a run in the morning so that those who were hiding in the shadows to monitor them could see them.
In a blink of an eye, they had stayed in the Capital Base for almost a month and Zhou Zhijun's wedding was only a few days away. That day Yun Che left the Space in the morning like they always did. They had learned that Tan Weiye had to be in the capital before the wedding but they needed accurate coordinates so that when the superfunction possessors exited the space corridor, they were not going to end up somewhere they shouldn't go. After discussion, Xing Feng and Yun Che decided it was time to pay a visit to the old man.
But…
"It seems that someone is losing patience."
After breakfast, Yun Che told them that he and Xing Feng were going to visit the old man today, and the children were coming as well. Yun Cheng, who was leaning against Leng Yehan on the sofa, hooked the corner of his mouth. Heiyu, who had jumped on Yun Che's shoulder chomping on an energy bar, halted for a moment, "That's quite some people. Are they planning to kill us all? They are forcing me to go on a killing spree, aren't they?"
"They are orderly and well-trained, so they should be from the military."
Putting the babies down, Yun Che calmly sat down with a feeble smile on the corners of his mouth. The others also had different expressions, and they wanted to see who was the first one losing patience.
The answer was soon revealed. Butler Li of the Xing Family that they had met at the gate of the base last time stepped towards them with several soldiers. He directly strode towards Xing Feng like he did the last time, "Third young master, the master asked you to go home for important matters."
Butler Li did not look sideways, and once again deliberately ignored Yun Che. The crowd raised their brows in displeasure. Hadn't he learned his lesson yet? Or, was there anything that had given him the courage?
"What is it?"
Xing Feng was subconsciously impatient, but he was not an idiot. Looking at those soldiers thoughtfully, he was a bit curious as to why they made such a scene. Were they planning to take him back by force?
"Well…Third young master, you will know when you're home. And the master wants Mr. Yun to come with You."
His deliberate emphasis on the words "Mr. Yun" were clearly telling them that Xing Tianyi still hadn't approved Yun Che.
"We've got many Mr. Yuns here, which Mr. Yun are you referring to? You're a grown man, so why can't you even speak clearly?"
Obviously, the title "Mr. Yun" agitated Yun Cheng again, and Heiyu was also pissed, but he was targeting at Xing Feng, "Mr. Xing. I'm not blaming you, but you're from a powerful family, right? Why would your family hire such a trashy butler? Well, now it's not too late to correct the mistake. Hurry up and fire him, otherwise I tell you, when my master makes his move, someone might lose his life and there won't be any flesh and bones left behind. Like the buddha says, saving one life is better than setting up a seven-story pagoda. So be the good guy here and stop my master from killing anyone."
"Crack!"
It was a marvelous speech but the sound of him gnawing the energy bar was a bit ill-timed, so those who originally wanted to applaud him gave up the thought.
"Mr. Yun, let me, your godfather, take you on a stroll around the so-called big family, okay?"
Uh…
On the other hand, Fei Ye smiled devilishly with the little chubby Yun Ziyang in his arms. Everyone was speechless. If he really went there, no one in the Xing Family would survive. It would be the death anniversary of the Xing Family this time next year, right?
"Uncle Fei, I am also a Mr. Yun."
Chenchen who had no idea what was going on ran to him innocently. Fei Ye freed a hand to pinch his little face, "Indeed, I forgot that there is another Mr. Yun here. Why don't we go and have fun together?"
"Okay."
Hearing that they were going to have fun, Chenchen happily nodded though he didn't know where they were going. All people from Chaoyang and Peak put their hands on their forehead helplessly. Why were they having a strong feeling that Chenchen had been under bad influence?
"Third, third young master. The master means to invite Mr. Yun, Yun Che, to come home with you."
After being explicitly and implicitly taunted, Butler Li's face was already ghastly. And he sounded malicious as he emphasized on the words Yun Che.
"Me?"
Pointing at himself as if he was surprised, Yun Che crossed his legs and leaned backwards, "Tell me first, why would I go to the Xing Family with you? Just because you've brought these guys here?"
"Boom, boom boom…"
As the words fell, Yun Che casually waved his hand, and these soldiers who came with Butler Li all flew out. They didn't even see how Yun Che actually struck. Butler Li was horrified, feeling that Yun Che was stronger than when he first arrived at the city. But he had to restrain his anger and fear, and tried to calm down.
"The, the master told me to tell Mr. Yun that you will regret if you don't come."
Butler Li's voice was already unsteady, and he didn't dare to meet with Yun Che's gaze. If you look closely, you would see his legs trembling.
"It seems that I still have to go if it is a dinner at Hongmen (a dinner at Hongmen is where treachery is planned)."
Looking at him thoughtfully, Yun Che hooked the corners of his mouth. Though Xing Feng had told him that the old Mr. Xing was not living with his children and grandchildren, he still lived in Section A. It was not a big deal that they took a detour to pay him a visit. He was indeed curious as to what plan Xing Feng's father had made for him.
"Do you wanna go?"
Xing Feng turned to look at Yun Che, and the latter nodded boldly, "Sure, why not. I've got you, right?"
"Alright."
An errand boy was indeed an errand boy. Though he had no intention to come back home, he quickly changed his mind. Before Butler Li could say another word, Gu Mingxuan stood up with Yun Yao, who was extremely worried, "Well, I'm also planning to take Yao home. What about us going there together?"
"Let's go."
The agreement was easily reached and they all stood up, which made Butler Li baffled, even forgetting to follow. Before they left, Yun Che quietly threw a look at Yun Cheng and Fei Ye and the latter nodded in unison, waving at him to signal him that he got nothing to worry about and they would take care of the rest.
