Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Liu Tong was able to freely enter and leave the Liu family because he had Liu family blood.

Large families are protected by protective formations. People who are not of the bloodline will trigger the formations unless they enter through legitimate channels.

Liu Dong temporarily settled down in her own courtyard.

His courtyard was even more desolate and remote than the house where he had stayed temporarily before, and fewer people passed by.

With Liu Dong here, not only is she undisturbed, but she can also receive timely news from the Liu family head.

His space was filled with food, so he could stay in the yard without going out.

A month passed, and the Liu family still hadn't found the mysterious person. Liu Hui's dantian was mostly occupied by gray mist, and his cultivation level had dropped from the Blood Condensation Realm to the Qi Gathering Realm.

When the Blood Pool opened, Liu Hui entered with hope.

Unfortunately, the Jade Blood Pool had no effect on Liu Hui. Instead of detoxifying him, it accelerated the erosion of his dantian by the toxins.

Liu Hui has become a complete cripple.

The Liu family would not support a useless person. Liu Hui was stripped of his status as heir and sent to the small courtyard where Liu Tong had lived.

Liu Hui is not as good as Liu Dong was back then.

At that time, in order to ensure Liu Tong's health, the Liu family head also sent two people to serve Liu Tong.

But Liu Hui, who was abandoned, did not receive this preferential treatment.

He lives alone in the courtyard, cooking his own meals and washing his own clothes.

The head of the Liu family sent someone to deliver food to him once a month.

The servants were very neglectful of Liu Hui, sometimes not even bringing him food after the day was over.

Liu Hui had no choice but to go out and search for food on an empty stomach.

In just one year, he suffered a lot.

Liu Hui is a man of strong character; even when he fell into poverty, he did not give up.

He continued to practice martial arts diligently every day, then went out to earn money to buy medicine, hoping to expel the toxins from his body.

Given his past status, no business would hire the original heir of the Liu family.

Unable to find work, Liu Hui went outside the city to find medicinal herbs and hunt wild animals to earn money.

Unfortunately, spiritual herbs are scarce; as for demonic beasts, Liu Hui, without cultivation, is no match for them, so he can only hunt ordinary wild animals.

Ordinary medicinal herbs and wild animals are worthless, and the money Liu Hui earned was far from enough for him to buy medicine to expel the toxins.

But this child is very resilient and never gives up.

He is capable of handling the insults now hurled at him by those he used to fawn over.

Such a mindset is very rare.

If his dantian hadn't been destroyed, his future achievements would definitely have surpassed those of Patriarch Liu.

If Liu Hui were the protagonist, perhaps this ordeal would be the beginning of his journey to level up.

But Liu Tong had been by his side for over a year and discovered that Liu Hui didn't have any rings or jade pendants on him.

He was just a fallen genius, perhaps a passerby in the protagonist's eyes.

Finally, one night, Liu Tong appeared in front of Liu Hui.

Upon seeing the boy who looked exactly like him, Liu Hui was astonished: "Who...who are you?"

The boy in front of him gave him a sense of closeness from blood, and a conjecture came to mind.

"Are you my brother?"

Liu Tong nodded: "Was I once your substitute?"

Liu Hui: "A stand-in?"

Liu Tong told Liu Hui about the twins and the doubles in the main branch of the Liu family.

Liu Hui was shocked, angry, and guilty: "The injuries I suffered in the Cold Moon Secret Realm, you actually took the fall for me, didn't you? How are you now? Did I cause your dantian to be destroyed as well? Um, I will find a way to sever the connection between us."

Liu Tong: "No need, our connection has been severed. Otherwise, you wouldn't have become a cripple."

Liu Hui understood what Liu Tong meant.

Their connection was severed before Liu Hui's; otherwise, the poison would have been transferred to Liu Tong, rendering her useless while Liu Hui would have remained unharmed.

He will remain the aloof young master of the Liu family. Liu Hui chuckled lightly: "It's fortunate that you've already severed the connection."

He would rather be a cripple himself than have Liu Dong become a cripple.

This brother helped him bear too much suffering since childhood, and he almost died because of him.

He felt extremely guilty towards Liu Dong and only hoped that Liu Dong would be well in the future and not be implicated by his brother again.

Liu Tong understood his intentions.

Indeed, choosing to appear before this young man was the right decision.

Liu Dong: "I had a miraculous encounter."

Liu Hui: "Mm."

The fact that Liu Dong was able to lift the taboo spells of the Liu family shows just how powerful Liu Dong's extraordinary encounter was.

Liu Tong: "I can help you detoxify."

Liu Hui: "Hmm?"

Liu Tong: "Let me make one thing clear first, I didn't poison you."

Liu Hui: "I won't doubt you. You're my brother. Um, are you my younger brother or older brother?"

Liu Tong said with a hint of annoyance, "You were born an hour earlier than me."

Liu Hui smiled: "Then I'm the older brother."

Liu Dong snorted softly; he would never call Liu Hui "brother".

Liu Hui laughed even more heartily, thinking his younger brother was really cute.

Liu Dong said, "I will refine a batch of Qingyun Pills to help you expel the toxins from your dantian. However, the alchemy furnace is not yet ready, and it will take a few more days of practice. Please wait a little longer."

Liu Hui: "Alchemy?"

This world has doctors and pharmacists, but no alchemists.

Liu Dong didn't elaborate further: "They are alchemists, but they refine medicine into pills."

"Oh," Liu Hui said, indicating that he understood.

Liu Tong: "Do you want to leave the Liu family with me?"

Liu Hui nodded vigorously.

His experiences that year made him lose faith in the Liu family.

He used to think that his parents were his closest relatives, but after being abandoned by them so easily, and then learning about his younger brother's experience, he realized that he and his brother were just tools for their parents, and could be discarded.

In this world, the only person who is close to him is his younger brother, Liu Dong.

Liu Tong led Liu Hui away from the Liu residence and arrived at the small courtyard where he lived.

The next morning, Liu Hui got up and went to the kitchen.

He probably wanted to make breakfast, but unfortunately there was nothing in the kitchen.

Liu Tong said to Liu Hui, "Let's go out for breakfast in a bit."

Liu Hui hesitated: "We look so alike, and many people in the capital know me. If the news gets back to the Liu family, my father will come looking for you, won't he?"

It's clear that the younger brother is extremely unwilling to return to the Liu family.

Liu Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one will recognize us."

Liu Hui: "??"

Professor Liu Hui's makeup techniques.

Liu Hui was greatly impressed and studied very diligently.

The two altered their appearances, and after makeup, they only looked three or four parts alike. Others would see them as brothers, but would never think they were twins.

The two went out for breakfast together, and then bought some grains, seasonings and vegetables.

Liu Hui was thinking that he would start cooking for his younger brother in the future so that he could taste his cooking skills.

Over the past year, he has honed his culinary skills to a considerable degree. (End of Chapter)
