In the backyard of the Jiang family, in an elegant tea room.

The wafting sandalwood incense dispelled the lingering stench of blood from the martial arts arena in the front yard.

Jiang Xiaotian personally brewed tea for Ye An with great respect, showing none of the slenderness expected of a nonagenarian. In fact, his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.

Jiang Yu'er stood at the door, not coming in, but just watching quietly, like a dutiful guard.

She knew that it was time for her grandfather and Master Ye to talk, and she shouldn't interrupt.

"Master Ye, I'm sorry you had to laugh at what happened today." Jiang Xiaotian pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Ye An.

Ye An picked up his teacup but didn't say anything.

He is waiting.

He knew that the old man had called him over alone not just to have tea and apologize.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaotian took a sip of tea, a bitter look on his face: "Master's divine pill is incredibly effective. The old man has only been able to live a few more days thanks to it. But..."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"The old man always feels that there's a kind of energy lingering inside his body, but he can't use it. Instead, he often feels sluggish. He doesn't know why."

He asked the question cautiously, afraid of upsetting Ye An.

Ye An put down her teacup and glanced at him.

"Hand out."

Jiang Xiaotian dared not delay and quickly handed over his withered wrist.

Ye An placed two fingers on his pulse and closed his eyes slightly.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his expression somewhat strange.

"You only used less than ten percent of the medicinal power of this pill?"

Jiang Xiaotian was taken aback: "This... I don't know. I only feel that after taking it, I feel much better, but that's all."

Ye An nodded, understanding dawning on his mind.

This Qi-Nourishing Pill is used by cultivators to nourish their vital energy and strengthen their foundation; its medicinal power is immense.

For an ordinary mortal body, without the guidance of cultivation techniques, being able to absorb even 10% of the medicinal power on its own is already an excellent physical condition. The remaining medicinal power would accumulate in the meridians, which would likely become a burden.

"Sit still and don't move."

Ye An gave a casual instruction.

Jiang Xiaotian immediately sat up straight and even slowed his breathing.

Ye An extended a finger, and at the tip of the finger, a wisp of almost invisible golden true essence swirled.

He didn't touch Jiang Xiaotian's body, but simply tapped Jiang Xiaotian's location from a distance.

In an instant, the true essence transformed into several golden needles, heading towards the acupoints all over Jiang Xiaotian's body.

Golden needle to cut the pulse!

Jiang Xiaotian felt a gentle yet irresistible heat suddenly burst forth from his meridians and acupoints!

The heat instantly rushed into his limbs and bones, activating all the medicinal power that had been lingering in his body and making him feel sluggish.

"Well……"

Jiang Xiaotian groaned, veins bulging on his forehead.

He felt as if his body was being inflated like a balloon, with countless meridians being forcibly widened, torn apart, and reassembled by a tyrannical force!

pain!

Indescribable pain!

But he dared not shout, much less move; he could only clench his teeth and let the force rampage through his body.

He could feel that his previously decaying organs and dried-up meridians were being revitalized by this force in a devastating way.

The martial arts barriers that had been blocked for many years were as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of this power.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed in Jiang Xiaotian's mind.

The bottleneck that had plagued him his entire life, the one he couldn't break through even until his death, was... broken.

An extraordinary aura surged from his body, instantly filling the entire tea room.

Jiang Yu'er, who was standing at the door, felt it the most. She was so struck by the aura that she actually took a half step back.

She stared at her grandfather, whose beard and hair stood on end and whose imposing presence was growing stronger, her face filled with shock.

Another...another Celestial Realm cultivator?

Master Ye is truly amazing!

Inside the tea room, Jiang Xiaotian slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his hands, which had become smooth and strong, no longer covered with age spots, and felt the surging power within him. He was completely stunned.

Even a master of internal energy cultivation who takes good care of himself will only live to be 120 years old at most.

The martial arts master can live to be two hundred years old!

In other words, even without taking any more pills, with his cultivation as a Martial Celestial, he no longer needs to worry about his lifespan!

He looked up at Ye An, whose expression was calm, his lips trembling.

Suddenly, with a thud, he slid off the chair and was about to kneel down in front of Ye An.

"The Master's grace in restoring my life..."

"Alright." Ye An raised his hand, and an invisible force supported him, preventing him from kneeling down.

"The Nourishing Essence Pill is just a pill for Innate cultivators to use for cultivation. What's so surprising about it allowing you, a Transformation Realm cultivator, to break through to the Celestial Realm?"

"As for the life extension, it's just a side effect."

Jiang Xiaotian was stunned by these words and stood there dumbfounded.

Innate cultivators...

Master Ye is indeed no ordinary ancient martial arts practitioner.


With this thought in mind, Jiang Xiaotian gave a bitter smile and sat back down in his chair, this time adopting an even more humble posture.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master." Jiang Xiaotian sighed deeply.

"My good-for-nothing sons have caused you a lot of trouble."

"They fought and struggled their whole lives, all for this position I hold."

"In previous years, I was so focused on living a few more years that I neglected to discipline them, which is why they have become so unruly."

Jiang Xiaotian looked at Ye An with utmost sincerity in his eyes.

"If they have offended me in any way before, I hope Master Ye will consider this old man's feelings and not hold it against them."

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming resolute.

"Of course, if they dare to show any disrespect to the master in the future... then there's no need to consider the Jiang family anymore; the master can deal with them as he sees fit!"

Ye An glanced at him and casually said, "Of course, after all, I'm not a bad person."

Jiang Xiaotian chuckled twice, but didn't dare to reply.

Not a bad person?

Elder Chen of the Qinglian Sect clearly stated that the person before them was the one who single-handedly wiped out the entire Juyue Sect.

Even if Juyue Sect was at fault and offended Master Ye.

This is enough to show that this Master Ye is definitely not a kind-hearted or soft-hearted believer.

Might makes right.

Jiang Xiaotian has lived for ninety years and knows this rule better than anyone else.

He now only wants to worship this true god firmly, and dares not be negligent in the slightest.

Jiang Xiaotian felt the unprecedented surge of power within his body, and his face flushed with excitement, even the wrinkles on his face smoothed out considerably.

He turned to Ye An, his posture becoming even more respectful, and laughed loudly, "Let's not talk about those troublesome things! Master, look how perfect the weather is, why don't we set off now and go night fishing by the river?"

Jiang Xiaotian added with great enthusiasm, "This old man has just entered the Celestial Realm and is itching to catch a few big fish in the river to accompany the master's drinks!"

His current state of mind is completely different from that of the old man who used to wait for death.

Ye An remained calm, picked up his teacup, gently blew on it, and said, "Night fishing isn't urgent. I have another matter to discuss with the Jiang family."

His gaze shifted to Jiang Yuer, who was standing at the door.

"Jiang Yu'er mentioned to me before that your Jiang family has a jade pendant that can gather spiritual energy?"
