Chapter 491: Two-Level Promotion (1)

—Only then did Xiao Yaos brow wrinkle as he said, "No need! I'm fine by myself! ""......"Coincidentally, this kid really knows nothing about the disparity in their statuses. For Miss Three to lower h...Chapter 491 - Two Level Promotion

The reason why Luo Yuntian and his daughter were here was mostly due to curiosity, along with a strange feeling in their hearts that made them want to come and take a look. They treated this feeling as just another form of curiosity.

Luo Yuntian looked at Xianyao without any intention of leaving, seemingly treating him as an old drinking buddy now, making the relationship more than simple friendship. Of course, Yinping wasn’t going to leave either; she already regarded Xianyao as her older brother. With medicinal pills given by Xianyao and guidance in cultivation, she managed to catch up with others quickly and become a focus of everyone's attention.

Luo Qing was also puzzled about the matter concerning Yinping. He suspected that Yinping might have consumed Soul Marrow Pill from Xianyao, who probably deducted some for himself at the time. However, he didn’t mind this since what Xianyao provided had been more than enough already.

What confused him was why Xianyao would give a Soul Marrow Pill to Yinping in the first place, especially considering that he hadn’t even given one to Lingling and yet did for Yinping. This made it rather peculiar indeed.

Furthermore, Xianyao seemed to treat Yinping exceptionally well; not only giving her good medicinal pills but also forging swords and guiding her in cultivation—these actions were easily replicable within the Luo Family if he wanted them done.

This made him even more puzzled. What was most peculiar wasn't why Xianyao treated Yinping so well, but rather that Xianyao could actually forge swords and guide others in cultivation, excelling at both tasks as though a master would.

"Do you two still have something" Xianyao asked Luo Qing and his father.

"... What do you mean by this Why ask us instead of asking others" Lao Bocai immediately jumped up, feeling that he was being slighted despite trying to care about Xianyao.

"Is there anyone else here" Xianyao turned around and asked with puzzlement.

"..."

"I have nothing either. I just want to ask how you suddenly became an Emperor," Luo Qing ignored the oddity of Xianyao’s question and inquired.

It was already difficult for ordinary martial artists to break through into the Emperor realm, let alone someone who cultivated with Shen Nong Scripture. This made it even harder.

"To be honest, I’m not entirely sure either. But one could say that when conditions are ripe, a natural outcome is achieved," Xianyao waved his hand dismissively; this matter was hard to explain and some aspects were beyond his understanding as well.

Although the primary reason was due to the effects of the scripture itself, there was also much due to his own capabilities—only with so much water could he fill up the channel.

This might be because of all the foundational training time spent before; now its effects were starting to show.

"When conditions are ripe. That’s good then. At least our Luo Family has gained another Shen Nong Scripture cultivator at the Emperor realm, providing substantial security for us," Luo Qing didn’t overthink this but rather focused on Xianyao's current status as an Emperor, which was significant.

"Shen Nong Scripture cultivator, Xianyao, you actually cultivate with Shen Nong Scripture. Truly couldn't tell," said Luo Yuntian looking at Xianyao; he had drunk much wine and conversed many times but didn’t seem to know much about him—unaware of his cultivation in the scripture.

"I don’t need to fight, cultivating Shen Nong Scripture is great, dying should be left for others," Xianyao chuckled.

"Indeed. Cultivating it does offer safety." Luo Yuntian and others agreed with this; even though they knew this wasn't likely the real reason behind Xianyao’s actions, currently, that was how things were.

With anything happening now, Xianyao might be involved but would never be on the front line. They might not even wish to take him out to fight; just let other Shen Nong Scripture cultivators go and if problems couldn’t be solved by them, they could come back to seek Xianyao.

Shen Nong Scripture cultivators at the Emperor realm were quite valuable but usually, those reaching this level had strong self-preservation abilities, making them a combat force that no one ever actually used.

"Alright then. I guess there’s nothing left for me to do here either. Xianyao, keep working hard; maybe you can break the rule of Shen Nong Scripture cultivators not reaching Saint realm," Luo Qing encouraged him and left with a slightly disgruntled Lao Bocai.

Shen Nong Scripture cultivators had never reached Saint realm—no matter if they were Emperors. Even when nearing late Emperor, it was still unreachable for them. Currently, the highest Shen Nong Scripture cultivator in this world is mid-Emperor with none reaching later stages.

If one could cultivate Shen Nong Scripture to reach Saint realm, might it be possible to resurrect

This Xianyao didn’t know nor did anyone else. However, what was known was that at the Emperor realm, Shen Nong Qi could heal permanent human damage to a certain extent, such as severed fingers or even limbs.

When this would become possible required reaching late Emperor stage in cultivation of Shen Nong Scripture, something currently impossible for Xianyao. But if it was him, he could recover slowly over time.

Shen Nong Qi had no offensive power but its survival capabilities were unmatched by anyone.

"We're leaving too. You did pretty well," Luo Yuntian looked at Xiaoyao and praised him, which was quite rare for him. Then he left without caring whether Yinping went with him.

Yinping watched as Luo Yuntian left, then she turned to look at Xiaoyao and said, "Brother, congratulations on breaking through! Even my father complimented you. He has never praised me."

Saying this, Yinping seemed a bit pouted with her lips, feeling somewhat jealous.

"It's just a simple 'good job,' and everyone here would say the same because I really am quite good," Xiaoyao said with a smile. His thick skin was truly remarkable; one couldn't help but want to kick him.

Yinping nodded, "Yes, yes, brother is indeed very good." Here, she seemed to be the only one who fully believed in Xiaoyao, blind worship.

"..." Lingling and Zhen'er both fell silent. They felt like they weren't his sisters; Yinping was more of a sister to him.

“Xiaoyao, you… forget it, I'm too lazy to ask anyway. It's good as it is, just keep working hard.” The Third Lord wanted to ask something but found there wasn’t much point in asking, so he could only say, “Keep working hard.”

“Yes, now that you've surpassed us like this, you’ll surpass Lingling too at some point,” Luo Lingyu smiled at Xiaoyao as she walked away, offering encouragement.

"Work hard!"

Lingjiu and the others also said their goodbyes, leaving. The previously bustling scene suddenly became quiet, with only Xiaoyao, Yinping, and Lingling remaining.

“Xiaoyao, no matter how lucky you are, you can’t surpass me. I will definitely work hard to break through to the Saint realm,” Lingling pointed at Xiaoyao as if making a solemn vow, stomped her foot fiercely, then left too.

"Yinping, do you have enough medicinal pills" Xiaoyao didn't mind these kinds of things; he was more concerned about Yinping.

“Enough. Even without your help, the family provides a lot now, so it's fine,” Yinping shook her head and did not want to trouble Xiaoyao too much. If the family had enough pills, she wouldn't ask Xiaoyao for them; no wonder Xiaoyao recently noticed Yinping rarely asked about medicinal pills.

“The ones your family provides are just low- to mid-grade quality. You shouldn’t give these to others,” Xiaoyao immediately said.

“It's all the same, everyone eats them too,” Yinping felt there was no problem with this, as long as she ate like everyone else.

"That’s not right, you're my sister. You need to eat better quality ones. Besides, your base isn't strong enough; if you don’t eat better quality ones, you can't catch up to others," Xiaoyao shook his head and said somewhat directly but truthfully.

Yinping's innate talent wasn’t sufficient; even after consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her talent was barely on par with Lingling’s. However, Lingling was only a mediocre genius; if Yinping wanted to stand out, she must compensate with other resources, medicinal pills being one of them.

"I have already caught up with them," Yinping said.

“…” Xiaoyao understood that Yinping just wanted to catch up to her friends and didn’t aim for the top. Perhaps it was enough like this; girls need some self-preservation abilities but shouldn't be too strong-minded.

"Alright, do as you wish then," Xiaoyao didn't force Yinping either, which was also good. The path of becoming a powerful individual is dangerous. Living an ordinary life might lack the ability to protect oneself but comes with fewer dangers and higher chances of survival.

Yinping now had some self-preservation abilities without having to take on dangerous tasks; Xiaoyao wouldn't oppose it either. Stability was most important, and if he could choose, he would prefer his sister to live a stable life rather than achieving something for him to see.

The desire to have children excel is universal, but safety is the priority over strength.

"But you should only take medicinal pills I give you. I have plenty here and don’t need you to be like others," Xiaoyao said. Giving her medicinal pills didn't conflict with stability; in a safe environment, her cultivation speed would naturally improve.

“Okay, but won’t this trouble brother” Yinping asked hesitantly, not wanting to burden Xiaoyao since it might make him dislike her.

"Of course not. I've already prepared them for you. After you refine all these medicinal pills, you should reach the middle-to-late stage of the Emperor Realm by then," Xiaoyao said with a smile.

“Middle to late stage of the Emperor Realm How long would that take” Yinping found it quite distant and felt she wouldn’t achieve this until her thirties or forties, at the earliest.

"That depends on you; there's no need to rush. Take your time," Xiaoyao smiled as he said. He wouldn't worry about how long it took Yinping to reach the middle-to-late stage of the Emperor Realm; whether three to five years or ten, even more was fine.

“Alright, I’ll catch up with brother one day. Brother is too weak,” Yinping said seriously.(To be continued...)rel!"Didn’t I tell you just now I will send you to the Yellow Springs Road," Xianyao replied.“You’re really asking for death!” Feng Hai and others roared angrily. Xianyao's words were too provocative....
