Chapter 158 Bao Weijing's Performance

"There's a high probability they have accomplices, and they're quite strong."

In response to Madam Quan's question, the butler replied, "I just don't know how Bao Weijing got to know such a powerful person..."

This steward was Madam Quan's confidant, and he handled many shady matters on her behalf.

"yes……"

Madam Quan frowned deeply: "Besides practicing martial arts in the manor every day and only occasionally going out to earn some money, he shouldn't have come into contact with any powerful martial artists..."

For a moment, both of them fell silent, and the room was completely quiet.

After a long silence, Madam Quan finally asked, "Approximately what is the strength of Bao Weijing's helpers?"

"It's probably the Intent Realm or the Spiritual Realm. After all, the strongest person we sent out was only at the Mind Realm..."

The butler pondered for a moment, and then responded.

The eighth or ninth level of the mortal realm was the limit of his thinking.

As for the realm beyond the virtual world, he didn't even consider it.

In his view, if Bao Weijing had someone at the Void Realm or above to support him, he wouldn't be in his current situation.

"Um……"

Madam Quan pondered for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, there's nothing to fear. As long as it's not a Void Realm, it's all fine."

"However, this kid should be on guard in the coming days and probably won't go out easily. It's not convenient for us to take action here in the mansion."

Madam Quan continued, "In that case, have someone keep a close eye on this boy and report his movements within the manor at any time. If he tries to leave the manor, then make arrangements again to send out even stronger people to eliminate him."

"Understood, Madam."

The butler replied that he was also very sad.

He was also well aware that if Bao Weijing really went to Yuelan Sect, they would have a certain chance of facing great trouble.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Drunken Spring Pavilion of Jingli Mansion, Xu Ning spent most of his time relaxing his mind, except for buying some common medicinal herbs to practice making pills.

Xu Ning hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time.

Previously, Xu Ning was forced by various events to keep moving forward and dealing with different situations.

I haven't enjoyed this kind of carefree life for a long time.

Inside Zuichun Pavilion.

Bang bang bang.

Pills kept popping out of the alchemy furnace, which Xu Ning collected.

The pills Xu Ning has recently refined are all ordinary pills, mainly for use by mortal martial artists.

Xu Ning had already casually refined quite a few of these pills for mortal realm martial artists, enough for Bao Weijing to consume and help him quickly advance to the peak of the mortal realm.

"It's been half a month, and Bao Weijing hasn't come to see me. It seems his cultivation is going very smoothly..."

Xu Ning thought to himself, "Once Bao Weijing's status in the Bao family rises and he gains access to more high-level information, and figures out the Bao family's trump cards, that will be the time for me to make my move..."

While Xu Ning was thinking about this, in the secluded courtyard of the Bao family, Bao Weijing was holed up in his room, calming his mind and practicing his internal energy cultivation.

Suddenly, Bao Weijing opened his eyes, and his demeanor changed instantly.

He, who had previously seemed listless, was now full of energy.

"After half a month of hard work and focused concentration, it's finally done!"

Bao Weijing could no longer suppress his smile.

He jumped off the bed and threw a punch with spiraling force.

"This feeling is wonderful!"

During these two weeks, Bao Weijing worked diligently day and night, never letting up for a moment, in order to improve himself rapidly.

Just a few days later, Bao Weijing completely absorbed the remaining energy of the Pure Source Pill in his body.

Subsequently, Bao Weijing swallowed another Pure Source Pill given to him by Xu Ning.

With his increased strength, Bao Weijing absorbed the Pure Source Pill even more effectively this time. The medicinal power of the Pure Source Pill further enhanced Bao Weijing's physical strength and helped him break through to the Mind Realm in just over ten days.

Among the younger generation of the Bao family, although those at the Mind Realm are not top-tier, they are still outstanding enough.

"I really owe it all to Senior Tao. Without him, I would never have made this much progress."

Bao Weijing thought to himself, "However, after advancing to the Mind Realm, my progress will likely slow down gradually. My recent rapid advancement is actually due to replenishing my resources. Now that I've fully digested my previous accumulation, advancing to the Intent Realm will probably take more time..."

"but……"

Bao Weijing pushed open the door and breathed in the fresh air in the courtyard: "It's time for the younger generation of the family to spar. Tomorrow, in front of the patriarch and other family elders, I must perform well and be noticed by them."

"Only in this way can my family's status be elevated, so that I can work for Senior Tao and make all those who bullied me before pay the price."

Originally, Bao Weijing only planned to endure step by step and leave the family when he had the strength to stand on his own.

But now, Xu Ning has helped him improve his strength, which has made Bao Weijing's mind gradually become more radical.

After encouraging himself, Bao Weijing picked up the cleaver again and practiced his swordsmanship.

For the past ten days or so, he has been practicing his internal skills, and his external skills have become somewhat rusty.

"Tomorrow we must shine!"

Bao Weijing's knife-wielding movements were incredibly sharp.

……

The next day.

The Bao Family Martial Arts Training Ground.

At this moment, on the training ground, the younger generation were exchanging blows, creating a lively and exciting scene.

The area around the martial arts training ground was filled with high-ranking members of the Bao family.

Besides the family head Bao Shihui, Bao Qiuhua also accompanied Fang Jie, appearing at the edge of the martial arts arena.

Normally, Bao Qiuhua rarely appears on such occasions, but she accompanied Fang Jie specifically so that he could see the younger generation of the Bao family.

Inside the training ground, Bao Weijing was already eager to try his hand at martial arts.

"Not only is the clan leader watching the battle today, but all the clan elders are also present. In addition, it is said that a great figure from the Yue Lan Sect, Fang Jie, a true disciple, is also watching the battle."

Bao Weijing looked at the edge of the training ground and thought to himself.

"Bao Weijing, Bao Weiyi, it's your turn!"

At this moment, an elder in the family called out.

"Finally, it's my turn!"

Bao Weijing nimbly took the stage.

"Bao Weijing, you're only at the Qi Movement Realm, while I'm already at the peak of the Inner Qi Realm, poised to break through to the Mind Realm at any moment. Our strengths are far too great; there's no need for a sparring match. You should step down!"

Bao Wei was also tall and strong, with an aggressive demeanor.

Bao Weiyi is also the grandson of the family head Bao Shihui. His father is Bao Xinxian's brother, and his mother is also a concubine, so he can enjoy a lot of resources.

In the past, Bao Weijing might have avoided his sharp edge and chosen to back down.

But now, Bao Weijing only wants to strike back hard.

"Enough talk, let's get started."

Bao Weijing was already full of fighting spirit.

"You've got some guts," Bao Weiyi chuckled. "In that case, I won't use any weapons; I'll spar with you bare-handed."

"Me too."

Bao Weijing was also empty-handed, facing the enemy head-on.

"Bao Weijing, you're really overestimating yourself!"

Seeing this, Bao Weiyi sneered, then his inner energy surged, and he threw a punch at Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing was not afraid at all and met the attack head-on.

With a loud thud, their fists collided.

Subsequently, Bao Weiyi was directly ejected by Bao Weijing's immense strength and spiraling force, and his entire body flew out.

With a single strike, Bao Weijing defeated Bao Weiyi on the other side.

"How did Bao Weijing become so strong?"

"This must be the power of the Mind Realm!"

"..."

Immediately, the audience erupted in discussion.

This was the first time Bao Weijing had experienced the shock and admiration of others.

"You're too kind."

Bao Weijing was overjoyed and immediately stepped down from the stage.

In the distance, on the stands.

"Who is this kid? I don't recognize him at all."

The one speaking was the head of the family, Bao Shihui.

Although Bao Weijing was his grandson, Bao Shihui couldn't remember him.

Because he had many wives and concubines, and his sons also had many wives and concubines, those unremarkable descendants were not deliberately remembered.

"He...he is my son, Bao Weijing..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor and handsome face spoke with some surprise.

This man was Bao Weijing's father, Bao Xinxian.

Today, because they were accompanying Fang Jie, those of considerable standing in the family all came to watch the younger generation spar.

Bao Xinxian was extremely surprised at this moment, as he hadn't paid attention to this son for a long time.

In his memory, Bao Weijing was not strong, but his current performance clearly showed that he was at the Mind Realm level.

"Your son..."

Bao Shihui glanced at Bao Xinxian.

Bao Shihui felt rather helpless about Bao Xinxian.

He loved his son very much because the son was not only outstanding in appearance and talent, but also had a strong talent for martial arts.

It's just that he was too fond of romance in his youth and his mind wasn't on martial arts, which is why he's been stuck at the ninth level of the mortal realm and hasn't been able to break through.

"Bao Weijing..."

Bao Shihui also realized: "It's your child with that prostitute..."

Seeing Bao Shihui's face darken, Bao Xinxian felt somewhat embarrassed.

"This kid is good; he's decisive and ruthless."

At this moment, Fang Jie surprisingly offered his own evaluation of Bao Weijing.

Upon seeing this, Bao Qiuhua quickly said to the person next to her, "Shihui, Xinxuan, we need to focus on cultivating Bao Weijing in the future. In a few days, we'll be taking a group of outstanding disciples into the mountains for training. Count him in."

Seeing that Fang Jie had actually taken the initiative to praise Bao Weijing, Bao Shihui and the others quickly echoed his sentiments.

"I understand, Grandma. I will take him with me when I go into the mountains to hunt monsters."

The middle-aged man named Bao Xinxuan responded.

This man was the middle-aged man who had kidnapped Xu Ning along with Bao Qiuhua.

"Looks like I'll have to pay more attention to Wei Jing from now on..."

Seeing that the family's senior members all intended to groom Bao Weijing, Bao Xinxian also began to ponder this in his heart.

At this time, Bao Weijing was unaware that his family was paying attention to him.

He then fought several more opponents, and except for one junior in the Intent Realm who was at a disadvantage, he performed exceptionally well the rest of the time.

The competition among the younger generation of the family has ended.

"Wei Jing, come here!"

After the crowd dispersed, Bao Weijing discovered that his father, Bao Xinxian, was waiting for him with a smile on his face.

Bao Weijing felt a warmth in his heart at first, but then, realizing what was happening, he felt a pang of sadness.

He knew very well that it was his performance that had caught the attention of the family's higher-ups, which was why his father, Bao Xinxian, had changed in this way.

"Never mind... as long as I can be noticed by the family's higher-ups, I'll be of some use to Senior Tao..."

Bao Weijing was perfectly clear-headed.

Thank you for the donations! I'm so glad to see the donations from Brother Ban and Brother Dandao Fuhefei!
