Chapter 79

In the front hall, a faint smell of urine spread through the air.

The old man in the blue robe's face turned from green to white, then from white to red, his eyes completely green, his hands trembling like chicken claws, his lips quivering, and his gaze呆滞.

As an elder of the Wei family, he was used to giving orders and being treated with respect. When had he ever been so humiliated by a junior? For a moment, his mind went blank!

After a moment, the old man in the blue robe came to his senses and growled in a hoarse voice, "You... you beast... to be so... disrespectful to this old man, today I will..."

He couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, the Wei family disciple named Wei Rongping was quick to react and promptly supported the old man, preventing him from sliding to the ground and making an even bigger fool of himself.

Wei Chengye, who was closer, watched with a mocking expression on his face.

Wei Rongping, supporting the old man in the blue robe, glared at Wei Changfeng with a dark expression and said, "Wei Senior Brother, aren't you going too far? Even as an upper academy disciple, you should still respect the hierarchy in the Wei family!"

Wei Changfeng replied coolly, "I am surnamed Wei, but I have never been a member of the Wei family. If you want my position as an upper academy disciple, come and take it!"

"Good, very good, not a member of the Wei family!"

Wei Rongping's eyes gleamed with malice, and he said in a deep voice, "Then we'll see each other at the academy competition!"

With that, he immediately supported the old man in the blue robe and left the front hall.

Wei Chengye stood up and looked at Wei Changfeng with a playful expression, smiling, "Wei Changfeng, you're much more courageous now than before. But by cutting ties with the Wei family, do you think you can still keep your position as an upper academy disciple?"

Wei Changfeng replied coolly, "Whether I can keep it or not is my own business, no need for you to worry, Brother."

Wei Chengye didn't get angry; instead, he praised, "You have backbone! You're much better than the two-faced Wei Rongping. Not returning to the Wei family is the right choice; there's not a single good person in the main branch!"

Wei Changfeng was a bit surprised, not expecting Wei Chengye to be so resentful of the main branch of the Wei family.

Wei Chengye continued, "I was just forced by my mother to come and watch the show. Whatever she has in mind, I don't care. Just be careful in the future. If you become successful one day, take care of this big brother of yours."

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but laugh.

For the first time, he found his so-called big brother quite interesting, a rascal of a certain caliber.

He imagined that Wei Chengye's mother, Wang Yun, must be truly helpless with this son.

He responded indifferently with a "Hmm."

To be fair, although Wei Chengye had never paid attention to Wei Changfeng, he had never bullied him or his two sisters using his status, and he had shown basic respect to Murong Wan.

Wei Changfeng's heart wasn't so narrow that he would turn against Wei Chengye, who had done him no harm.

"Let's go, I'm going to be late for my date with Mingyue at the Autumn Moon Pavilion..."

Wei Chengye swayed out of the front hall, leaving behind one last warning: "Be careful of Wei Rongping!"

"Changfeng, isn't this a bit too much?"

After Wei Chengye left, Murong Wan said worriedly, "He is an elder of the Wei family!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. We have already established our own household. The Wei family's rules don't apply to us. At least for now, they won't dare to openly come after me!"

His confidence wasn't unfounded.

The current Wei Changfeng was no longer the lowly, worthless youth of a month ago. He was an upper academy disciple of Jingyun Martial Academy and a disciple of the upper master Dongfang Caibai.

Most importantly, the head of Jingyun Martial Academy, Dongfang Zheng, had shown special favor to Wei Changfeng. This alone was enough to make the Wei family cautious and refrain from rash actions!

"So, we can't give in to the Wei family at all. If we give in this time, they will demand even more next time!"

"Even if I give my life, it might not be enough!"

Murong Wan, out of concern, understood the situation and nodded, saying, "As long as you're safe, I... cough, cough!"

She started coughing forcefully before she could finish her sentence.

Wei Changfeng quickly helped Murong Wan sit down and took out a golden needle to regulate her lung meridians.

Although he regularly treated Murong Wan with acupuncture and medicine, the fundamental loss of vitality could not be fully restored by simple treatments, no matter how skilled Wei Changfeng was in medicine.

That's why he had started preparing to refine the Nine Ling Rejuvenation Pill. On one hand, Murong Wan's illness couldn't be delayed any longer, and on the other hand, his time in Jingyun City might not be long.

If everything went smoothly, after passing the academy competition and the Dragon Selection at Yunhai Mountain, Wei Changfeng would have to follow Dongfang Caibai back to his master's sect to cultivate martial arts and sword techniques.

Yunhai Mountain was thousands of miles away from Jingyun City, and he couldn't take his family with him. Therefore, this matter had to be resolved in advance, not delayed.

"Mother, I will definitely cure your illness!"

Murong Wan gazed at Wei Changfeng with loving eyes, "Seeing you succeed, I will be fine. As long as you and Xiaoying and Xiaoyu are happy, I will be content even if I die."

Wei Changfeng was silent, feeling warmth in his heart.

...

A cold front from the north suddenly hit Jingyun City.

This southwestern border city of the Great Qin Dynasty welcomed its first snow of winter. The Qingmang Mountain was covered in white overnight, and Jingyun Martial Academy also took on a new look.

Before dawn, in the midst of a heavy snowstorm, Wei Changfeng sat cross-legged on a sheepskin cushion in the quiet room of the Qingyuan Cottage, practicing his martial arts.

The powerful Yang Qi energy rose from his lower dantian, traveling up the martial meridians and into the major channels of his body, completing a full cycle before converging and repeatedly striking the blocked acupoints.

After reaching the fourth level of cultivation—Qi Rushing Through a Hundred Acupoints—martial artists need to break through all 362 acupoints in the body to gradually improve their cultivation and eventually advance to the Qi Condensation Realm.

At the fifth level, there are 12 acupoints; at the sixth level, 36 acupoints; and at the seventh level, 72 acupoints!

Wei Changfeng's current cultivation was at the sixth level of Body Refinement. To break through to the seventh level, he needed to open 72 important acupoints, which was more than twice as difficult as advancing from the fifth to the sixth level!

Half a month ago, Wei Changfeng broke through to the sixth level during a life-and-death battle with Hao Xiong. However, after half a month, he had only opened 25 acupoints, averaging less than two per day.

Actually, this speed was already astonishing. Wei Changfeng's breakthrough in the Yang Qi cultivation method was almost entirely without the aid of medicinal pills.

Many martial artists who were impatient or had limited talent often used medicinal pills to enhance their energy and internal strength, thereby breaking through acupoints.

This was a shortcut in martial cultivation, but taking too many pills could easily lead to dependency and the accumulation of pill toxins in the body.

The consequence was that the higher the cultivation, the more difficult it was to break through acupoints, forcing dependent martial artists to buy more and better pills, creating a vicious cycle!

Most importantly, the rapid advancement through pills often resulted in unstable cultivation, with many problems.

As a former grandmaster of alchemy, Wei Changfeng understood the pros and cons of pills better than anyone. Therefore, he preferred to cultivate slowly but build a solid foundation.

Moreover, repeatedly breaking through acupoints could expand and refine the body's meridians, making it easier to withstand the intense impact of large amounts of true qi in battle, thereby enhancing his strength!

However, even without the aid of pills, Wei Changfeng's cultivation speed was not slow.

The technique of dividing his mind and focusing on the upper dantian played a crucial role. This secret technique allowed Wei Changfeng to have more time to practice the Yang Qi cultivation method, with true qi circulating continuously in his body, equivalent to constant practice day and night.

Additionally, his martial talent was extremely strong, with naturally connected martial meridians, making his cultivation more efficient.

There was also the pseudo pill condensed in his qi sea dantian!

As his cultivation deepened, Wei Changfeng increasingly appreciated the wonders of the Sun Swallowing Yang Technique. This inner core from a mid-level beast had not only helped him defeat strong enemies several times but also had a miraculous effect in breaking through acupoints!

After repeated strikes by the Yang Qi energy, the Qimen acupoint, located below the chest and between the ribs, finally showed signs of loosening. The outer skin vibrated, and a faint drumming sound could be heard in his ears.

With his extensive experience, Wei Changfeng knew this was a critical moment. He focused all his attention on driving the Yang Qi energy, aiming to break through the barrier and open this important acupoint.

However, at this point, the true qi in his dantian was almost depleted, and the consumption of breaking through acupoints was significant.

If he ran out of energy, all his previous efforts would be in vain!

Fortunately, Wei Changfeng was well-prepared.

His mind division technique was already focused on the lower dantian, and he immediately directed his mental energy to activate the Sun Swallowing Yang Technique, unleashing the power stored in the pseudo pill!

The spiritual energy stored in the pseudo pill was not infinite, but it was sustained by Wei Changfeng's regular nurturing. Now, at this critical moment, it was time to draw on that power.

This was like depositing unused money in a bank and withdrawing it when needed.

In comparison, taking pills was like borrowing high-interest loans, which solved immediate problems but had many consequences.

In the dantian, the round pseudo pill glowed brightly, and a powerful energy surged, merging with the original Yang Qi energy and rushing toward the Qimen acupoint with overwhelming force.

Boom!

The critical acupoint was finally broken through, and all the connected meridians were fully opened, integrating into Wei Changfeng's body's full cycle.

His cultivation and strength increased significantly!
