Chapter 49: Passing Power to Father

Brothers fight tigers together, and father and son go to battle as comrades. Yang Qi was well aware of this.

He was going to study at the Heavenly Position Academy. Once he left, without a powerful force to suppress things, all sorts of changes would arise within the family. Therefore, he needed to pass on his power, transferring some of his qi techniques to his father and his two brothers to boost their cultivation, so they could hold the fort. Only then could he study with peace of mind and seek revenge on Yun Hailan!

Yun Hailan and Song Haishan, I wonder how their cultivation is progressing now? But they definitely aren't a match for me. However, the strength behind them is likely formidable, especially since Yun Hailan has taken the Dragon Subduing Pill, which might cause his cultivation to advance rapidly.

Just thinking about how to take revenge on Yun Hailan made Yang Qi wish he could fly to the Heavenly Position Academy immediately.

He wanted to see the look on Yun Hailan's face when he saw his cultivation, and the way Song Haishan had trampled him back then.

"Song Haishan, Yun Hailan, I will make you wish you were dead," Yang Qi vowed to himself.

In the secret chamber.

The four of them, father and sons, sat in the four directions—east, west, south, and north. Yang Zhan, his eldest brother Yang Yunchong, and his second brother Yang Hualong all looked straight at Yang Qi.

"Third Brother, will passing your power to us to refine our bodies affect your own essence? You are at the peak of the Eighth Stage of Qi Techniques, about to break through to the Qi Master level. If passing power to us affects your breakthrough, then don't do it," Yang Yunchong said worriedly.

"No problem, my essence is profound," Yang Qi shook his head. "Losing a bit of true qi will be replenished instantly. This time, I will use an unparalleled divine technique to cleanse your bodies, strengthen your meridians and qi sea, and enhance your physical constitution tenfold, making your cultivation advance rapidly. In the future, you will hardly encounter bottlenecks. Father, your cultivation is the highest, and your control over true qi is the strongest, so I will cleanse you first."

"Alright."

Yang Zhan knew his son was unfathomable, having experienced some extraordinary encounters. He was also curious to see what kind of divine technique could directly strengthen meridians and improve the qi sea.

"Bone Fire of the Netherworld, Hellish Furnace!"

At that moment, Yang Qi stood up, and his entire body's strength erupted, releasing boundless true qi, equivalent to the power of ten ancient mammoths.

The entire secret chamber seemed to be isolated from the world, forming an independent space. Yang Qi was the only deity in this space, his black hair flying, and a faint, illusory furnace appeared above his head, along with many hellish scenes.

The cries of fallen deities echoed in the illusory furnace.

These were illusions, not real.

Yang Qi did not yet have the ability to truly condense the Hellish Furnace. Even if he broke through to the Qi Master level, he might still lack the necessary refinement. However, the true qi flame that emerged from this illusory furnace could refine the body.

With a flick of his finger, a flame flew out, transforming into a如意 (ruyi) shape and directly entering Yang Zhan's body.

Yang Zhan watched this scene in shock. At that moment, he felt that his son was neither human, demon, nor monster, but had transformed into a special, great life form.

Indeed, from his son Yang Qi's aura, he sensed a greatness, a unique dignity of a deity, noble and transcendent.

"What kind of technique is this? It far surpasses Imperial Qi Techniques. In the Floating Mountain, I have seen demon ancestors cultivating Imperial Qi Techniques, and even felt the presence of those who cultivated Holy Qi Techniques, who were ten thousand times more powerful than Qi'er, but they did not have the same震撼 (shenzhen) impact..."

Yang Zhan was utterly shocked, but then he came to his senses, feeling even more delighted and gratified by his son's strength.

Buzz!

As the flame entered his body, Yang Zhan felt his entire body's meridians burning. However, as a Qi Master with deep cultivation, he immediately began to cooperate with the flame's circulation, moving it through his meridians.

Instantly, true qi and impurities in his body were refined. Black gas rose from Yang Zhan's head, and black, foul-smelling sweat flowed from his body.

In Yang Zhan's body, his blood transformed, taking on a noble aura like that of a deity. All his meridians were strengthened several times over, and a layer of keratin formed under his skin, making his bones and muscles stronger. His bone joints grew, becoming denser, and he could see the luster in his bones when he closed his eyes and looked inward.

Moreover, he could hear his bone marrow boiling.

"Hmm? What is this?"

While refining his father's body, Yang Qi suddenly felt his true qi enter the dantian qi sea. He discovered a strange phenomenon.

In the center of his father's dantian qi sea, many green medicinal energies formed the shape of a grass plant.

This grass had nine leaves, each with a different shape—some round, some oval, some square, some serrated, like the nine sons of a dragon, each unique.

The grass floated, unrefined.

"Father, is this the Sky-Attracting Grass you took in the past?" Yang Qi was surprised.

"Yes," Yang Zhan smiled bitterly. "The Sky-Attracting Grass is an ancient divine herb. It is said that anyone who consumes it can walk on air. In reality, the medicinal energy is too powerful. When I took it, it gathered and did not disperse, remaining deep in my dantian qi sea. Even after advancing to the Qi Master level, I could not refine it."

"Oh? So powerful. In that case, I will refine it for you!" Yang Qi roared, his true qi erupting again, and the Divine Elephant Subduing Technique struck deep into Yang Zhan's dantian.

Immediately, the "Sky-Attracting Grass" began to exert its immense power. Streams of qi surged within his body, encountering Yang Qi's technique and beginning to melt. This made Yang Zhan's pores emit a fragrant aroma, which cleansed all impurities and foul odors.

The Sky-Attracting Grass, which had not been refined for decades, was now completely refined!

The Sky-Attracting Grass was an ancient divine herb that ordinary people could never refine in their lifetime. Without Yang Qi's help, the Sky-Attracting Grass would have grown from Yang Zhan's body after his death, absorbing nutrients from his corpse.

But now, it had become a force within Yang Zhan's body.

The "Sky-Attracting Grass" gradually transformed into true qi, which had a light and ethereal nature, making one feel as if they were floating in the air. Yang Zhan even floated in the air due to this true qi.

The Sky-Attracting Power.

His true qi surged, and the Sky-Attracting Power merged with his own cultivation, causing a rapid advancement. The true qi from one Sky-Attracting Grass was equivalent to three to five times his own cultivation.

If Yang Qi had not helped him refine his meridians, his qi sea might have exploded.

"Good!"

Yang Qi slowly withdrew his technique, looking at his father with joy. He precisely sensed that his father had gained many benefits from refining the Sky-Attracting Grass. Even Yang Xing and Yan Taizhun combined would not be a match for his father.

Moreover, after becoming familiar with the true qi from the Sky-Attracting Grass, his body became incredibly agile, swift as a ghost, and he could strike enemies in an instant, moving several times faster than other experts at the same level.

After refining his meridians and the Sky-Attracting Grass, Yang Zhan had advanced to the peak of the Qi Master level, and his lifespan had greatly increased, reaching the peak of his life's vigor.

"Ha ha ha..." Yang Zhan laughed heartily, sensing his internal state. "Now, even Yan Gufeng is probably no match for me, despite his strange ring that can store true qi, which is far inferior to mine."

This time, Yang Zhan not only had more profound true qi but also of higher quality, surpassing ordinary Qi Masters.

"Good, Father, slowly refine and practice the Four Seasons Sword Technique. You will surely comprehend the Life-Stealing Realm in the future, extending your life infinitely, even to immortality," Yang Qi said happily. "I will now transmit true qi to my elder brother and second brother."

He struck both brothers' backs with his palms, and immediately, their internal impurities and meridians were refined. Yang Qi used his technique to transform their bodies, making their muscles tremble and emit sounds like steel plates colliding.

Their bones twisted and emitted buzzing sounds, like steel bars vibrating.

The immensely thick true qi directly boosted their cultivation. In an instant, his second brother Yang Hualong advanced to the Seventh Stage of Qi Techniques, the Elephant Qi level.

His elder brother Yang Yunchong reached the peak of the Seventh Stage, ready to break through to the Eighth Stage.

The two brothers now had the capabilities of many branch family heads in the Yang family, able to handle significant matters. In the Yang family, strength was the most important.

For seven days and seven nights.

The four of them were in seclusion. While transmitting true qi, Yang Qi also imparted some martial arts secrets to his two brothers. During this process, his own true qi became even more refined, and his every movement exuded a majestic aura, like a deity descending.

Moreover, the qi in his body flowed, and at any moment, the eleventh particle might awaken, or he might even advance to the Qi Master level.

After seven days and seven nights, the four of them ended their cultivation. Yang Zhan had undergone a complete transformation, his body refined and his aura changed. He was taller and more imposing, his eyes occasionally flashing like lightning, making people shiver. His expression had a commanding presence.

Yang Yunchong and Yang Hualong, not only in terms of physical constitution but also in combat ability, had greatly improved. They had achieved a small mastery of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, and their Spring Silk Rain technique was performed with great skill, the sword qi as fine as silk, entwining like love.

Yang Qi knew that even if he left, he could rest easy, as the family could handle anything as long as no Life-Stealing Realm experts appeared.

However, in Yan Capital, a "rural" place, Life-Stealing Realm experts would not be interested.
