Chapter 63

"Yun'er, are you okay?"

Seeing this figure, Nie Xiaotian and Nie Ling both heaved a sigh of relief, their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settling down.

"Hehe, I'm fine!" Nie Yun smiled faintly.

"Fine?" Although they heard their son confirm it, the two of them couldn't help but look him over. Upon seeing him, their faces simultaneously took on a strange expression.

At this moment, Nie Yun appeared completely ordinary. Just from his appearance, there was no sign of any aura fluctuation, making him seem no different from an ordinary person!

Could it be that after closing himself off for cultivation, Yun'er's strength not only didn't increase but actually decreased?

"Hehe!" As if sensing his parents' doubts, Nie Yun moved his body, and a surging aura suddenly rose, shooting straight into the clouds!

"Sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm, the peak of the Chenggang stage... This... How is this possible!"

Feeling the aura emanating from their son, Nie Xiaotian and Nie Ling were both startled!

When their son had entered seclusion, he was only at the peak of the fourth level of the True Qi Realm. Now, upon emerging, he was at the peak of the sixth level of the Chenggang stage, having advanced two major levels in just ten days. How could there be such a bizarre rate of advancement in the world?

"This is related to the cultivation technique I practice. In fact, I've been accumulating for a long time, and it wasn't achieved overnight!"

Seeing his parents' astonishment, Nie Yun didn't want to explain in detail and casually said a few words.

Although the Ninefold Nirvana Technique advanced at an extremely fast rate, Nie Yun didn't plan to let his parents practice it. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that each cultivation of Nirvana was extremely dangerous. Even with his two lifetimes of experience and strong control over cultivation, he felt like he was walking on thin ice. If his parents were to practice it and something went wrong, wouldn't he blame himself every day?

Safety first. As long as his own strength increased, he could find enough elixirs and treasures for them, and they wouldn't advance too slowly!

"Turns out your slow progress in the past was for accumulation, and it even made me worry every day..." After a while, Nie Ling sighed.

Nie Yun hadn't expected that his casual words would explain his previous stagnation, and he was amazed by his mother's imagination!

However, since she thought this way, it was best, and he wouldn't have to fabricate any more lies.

"Father, while in seclusion, I have already refined the Heart Restoration Pill, which can help you completely repair your damaged Qi Sea and restore your previous strength!" Afraid that his mother would ask more questions, Nie Yun flipped his wrist, and a green pill appeared in his palm.

The herbs like Wu Xie Cao and Huisheng Flower had been prepared long ago. Nie Yun didn't take long to refine the Heart Restoration Pill, but he hadn't taken out the herbs because his father hadn't reached the peak of the first level of the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique!

"Can it help me repair my damaged Qi Sea?"

Nie Xiaotian, unlike his mother, wasn't so easily fooled. He was about to ask in detail, but upon hearing this, his eyes immediately widened, and he forgot all the questions he was about to ask.

The inability to cultivate due to a damaged Qi Sea had been his greatest pain for many years. Although his son had previously said he could help him recover, he still found it hard to believe when it was right in front of him.

"Um, take it quickly!" Nie Yun nodded and placed the Heart Restoration Pill in his father's palm.

"Yes!" Nie Xiaotian's whole body trembled slightly as he picked up the Heart Restoration Pill and swallowed it.

"Uncle, I will guard you!"

Seeing Nie Xiaotian swallow the pill and sit cross-legged to enter a cultivation state, Nie Tong shouted, raised his long sword, and looked around vigilantly. He stood like a straight spear, as if anyone who wanted to harm Nie Xiaotian would have to step over his body!

"Nie Tong..."

Seeing Nie Tong in this state, Nie Yun's memories returned to his previous life. In his previous life, his younger brother had stood in front of him, protecting him when he was injured, suffering 137 severe injuries but still standing tall!

"I must make my younger brother a powerful expert, one who can dominate both humans and demons!"

Thinking of the kindness from his previous life, Nie Yun silently made a vow in his heart.

One can choose not to live, but if one lives, there must be things and people one values, and there must be a goal to strive for. In his previous life, he didn't understand his father and never called him "Father" again before his death. This life, he had already achieved that, and for his younger brother, who had suffered 137 injuries for him in his previous life, he couldn't repay the kindness even with his entire life!

Brothers, this is what it means to be blood-related, flesh and bone!

Nie Tong didn't know that at this moment, his life's trajectory had already changed due to his brother's decision. His right hand tightly gripped the sword hilt, his eyes firm, as if nothing could shake him!

"Nie Tong, this is a set of sword techniques. Since you can't cultivate the Qi Sea, you can practice these techniques in your spare time while cultivating the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique. It will help you advance in strength!"

Suddenly, a set of demon clan sword techniques came to mind for Nie Yun.

This set of sword techniques was obtained along with the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique. Since it wasn't a technique for Qi Sea cultivators, he had only glanced at it and didn't practice it. Now, he thought it was perfect for his younger brother!

Not only were his younger brother's legs petrified, but his Qi Sea was also damaged. If he could master this set of sword techniques, his strength would surely increase greatly!

"Sword techniques? Thank you, Brother!"

Seeing his brother about to give him sword techniques, Nie Tong's eyes turned red with excitement, and his small fists clenched slowly.

After explaining the sword techniques to his younger brother in detail, Nie Yun no longer paid attention to him and turned to look at his father.

At this moment, the effects of the Heart Restoration Pill had been fully activated. His father's whole body turned red, and he trembled slightly, as if enduring some great pain.

Repairing a damaged Qi Sea was like stitching a wound; without the piercing pain, how could there be the fragrance of success! Therefore, although Nie Yun saw his father in pain, he had no intention of helping.

"Mother, where is the thousand-year-old Pengxin Snow Lotus you captured last time?" Nie Yun suddenly remembered something and asked.

"This Pengxin Snow Lotus is too precious. When I saw the Black Shadow Guard coming that day, I knew something was going to happen, so I quietly put the herb in my pocket. Here it is!"

Saying this, his mother took out a jade box from her bosom.

"It's better that you have it. I was planning to go back and get it..."

Seeing the Pengxin Snow Lotus in his mother's possession, Nie Yun laughed and casually took it, opened the jade box, and with a flick of his right palm, a scorching alchemy fire burned from his palm.

"Nie Yun, what is this?"

Just as Nie Yun placed the Pengxin Snow Lotus on the alchemy fire, he heard his sister Nie Xiaofeng's breathing quicken, and her face turned red with excitement.

"This is alchemy fire. What's wrong?"

Seeing his sister's strange reaction, Nie Yun was taken aback.

An alchemist was a high-level profession, and one must have alchemy fire in their dantian. In a small city like Luoshui, there wasn't a single alchemist, so it was normal for Nie Xiaofeng to have never seen alchemy fire.

"Alchemy fire? Is this it?"

Nie Xiaofeng said, and her palm suddenly flipped, and in an instant, a blazing flame erupted from her palm, seemingly more brilliant and dazzling than Nie Yun's alchemy fire.
