Chapter 16: The Most Beautiful Sick Person

  Ningcheng, Hepping Street, Hu Jiaze White Branch residence.

  In the middle of the residence, in the room of the master Bai Tengfei, a loud shout suddenly rang out, full of energy and aura, startling the several guards standing outside the door into exchanging nervous glances.

  "Bai Xiao, don't be impulsive! Hu Gao is after all the successor of the Hu family!" The speaker was none other than Huang Quan's Great Elder Bai Tengfei.

  In front of him was a slender young man with silver-like long hair, scattered on his shoulders like a sword, with a handsome face like a beautiful woman in red makeup, yet with sharp lines, especially the small pointed chin that was exposed, which was the finishing touch.

  Her face, as white as the morning light, showed a few shades of dawn red, with curved and delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, and a clear and beautiful appearance that made people drool. However, in her eyes, there was also a hint of a resolute and fearless spirit.

  This elegant and refined young master was none other than Bai Xiao, who had previously received the pure blood inheritance of the elder. A popular saying in Ning City went like this: "The most beautiful is a sickly beauty, with a thousand swords clearing the way for her." It was referring to him.

  He was a genius of the Zebai family, already in the middle stage of Tongti at the age of twenty. Among his peers, he was invincible. Someone had been deceived by his weak appearance and created the biggest bloodbath in the history of the War Institute, where 108 elite disciples were slaughtered overnight.

  Bai Xiao himself was seriously injured and unable to recover, and he was ill for ten years. This time, thanks to the talent of the elder who made the decision, under the tempering of the family's secret method, not only did his body recover, but his realm also reached the late stage of Tongti, and there was a hint of Dàyuánmǎn. His sharp aura was overwhelming, and he was actually above Bai Tengfei in the Bao Yuan realm!

  "Master of the house, this breath is hard to swallow. A useless branch of the Li family, how did he become the successor? You don't need to persuade me anymore. If he really has a guardian spirit in his body, even if I die, it's worth it!" Bai Xiao said excitedly and ignored Bai Tengfei's persuasion, turning around and rushing out the door.

  At this sight, Bai Tengfei, who had just been burning with anger and indignation on his face, suddenly changed his expression and revealed a strange smile.

  "Master of the house, Bai Xiao actually dared to offend you, do you want us to bring him back?" The guards at the door rushed in and asked hastily with anxious expressions. These people were no match for Bai Xiao, they didn't dare block his way just now, but now they spoke out of fear of being implicated by the master's anger.

  "It doesn't matter, send two clever ones to follow him, if there's any situation, be sure to bring Bai Xiao back safely." White Tengfei said lightly, although this Bai Xiao had always been close to the direct line of descent, but he was still a genius in cultivation after all, and it wasn't time to give up on him yet.

  At this time, on the playground of Zongtang Lianwu Hall, which is separated from Heping Street by a river, Chuan Gong Changfeng was seriously explaining the knowledge of Yuan Jue Gong Fa to Huayan.

  "After a warrior possesses a totem, it is equivalent to grasping the key to cultivation, allowing them to communicate with the energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into the yuan force within their body. The yuan force is the foundation of everything; only with the yuan force can one cultivate the yuan decision."

  The original formula can be divided into four levels: human, earth, heaven and divine. Each level is further divided into four layers: lower, middle, upper and absolute. The divine formula can only be possessed by the most powerful forces at the top, let alone a small place like Ning City, which cannot even have a heavenly formula, as for the earthly formula, our Hu family has some incomplete ones, while other families may only have some of the lowest human formulas.

  You've just been promoted to a martial artist, but you're not even close to cultivating the yuan jue. The cultivation of the condensing shadow realm is simply constantly condensing totems, communicating with the energy flow of heaven and earth, tempering the body's flesh and blood, and enhancing physical strength.

  You are currently in the early stages of the Condensed Shadow Realm and can only continue to strengthen your Totem to obtain more Yuan energy. Now, I will pass on to you a secret technique from our Hu family, the "Returning to the Origin One Qi Flow", which will allow you to quickly master the skill of converting Yuan energy.

  Hu Gao narrowed his eyes and listened attentively to Hu Feng's explanation. Last night's meditation had put him in a great mental state, and although he had been standing for a long time, he didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.

  The "Return to the Origin, One Qi Flow" may have a common name, but it's not something you'd find at a roadside stall. Within the entire Hu family, only elite disciples deemed worthy of cultivation are privy to this oral tradition. Although it's not a top-tier secret technique, its effects are genuine and offer immense benefits for martial artists cultivating in the Condensed Shadow Realm.

  After the explanation, Hu Gao roughly understood the essence of the secret method. In fact, the principle is not complicated. It's just using yuan force to condense totems, and then through the secret method, quickly use the power of the totem to expand the conversion speed of yuan force in reverse, forming a cycle similar to the Taoist Zhou Tian.

  Hu Gao began to sit cross-legged, operating the "Return to the Origin, One Qi Flow" technique. Hu Feng saw how quickly he understood it and revealed a satisfied smile. To help Hu Gao break through quickly, he sat down as well, directly channeling his own Yuan energy into Hu Gao's body in a way similar to a catalyst, accelerating the self-circulation process.

  Just then, Bai Xiao wore a white robe and stepped forward, shouting loudly: "Qing Gao! You will die!" In Bai Xiao's eyes, Hu Gao was not recognized as the successor!

  Long before Bai Xiao approached, Hu Feng had already sensed the killing intent and was prepared. However, he did not expect that the person coming would be someone from his own Hu family. One of his hands left Hu Gao's body, and the powerful 【Explosive Flame】he was about to release was temporarily replaced with 【Whirlwind】, trying to force back the murderous Bai Xiao.

  Although Hu Feng was only in the early stages of the Yuan Boundary, he wasn't someone that Bai Xiao could compare to. Between heaven and earth, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose up, like a dragon frolicking in water, swirling and moving about, directly sending Bai Xiao flying with his sword strike.

  "Bai Xiao, have you gone mad?" Hu Feng was furious. He had not expected the Zebian branch to be so crazy as to not even dare to disobey the words of the Grand Priest, and yet they still ran to the ancestral hall to be presumptuous, it was simply lawless!

  "I'm not crazy, you're all crazy! A useless piece of trash like him is actually considered the guardian deity of our family? It's utterly ridiculous!" Bai Xiao was knocked flying but didn't suffer any injuries. He also hadn't expected that the Transmission Elder would personally help Hu Gao cultivate, and his heart burned with even more rage.

  "Presumptuous, family matters are not something that you, who have been bedridden for ten years, can understand. If you don't back down, don't blame me for not considering our blood ties." Hu Feng was also enraged, this Bai Xiao had caused a huge disaster ten years ago, and under the joint pressure of the four major families, the Hu family had to give up a lot of territory. Just as they were barely recovering, he started acting like he didn't know who he was, it's simply idiotic!

  "It's precisely because of people like you in the family that we're being bullied! Today, I, Bai Xiao, will expose the true face of this so-called successor even if it means death!" Bai Xiao's silver hair flew wildly, his face turned deathly pale, and his aura began to rise rapidly. Behind him, a faint image of the fifth-tier Totem "White Crowned Crane" appeared, a characteristic unique to warriors in the Explosive Origin Realm.

  Hu Feng was also shocked, this Bai Xiao is indeed a genius, with unlimited potential in the future, but compared to the inheritors, it's still not enough! He also became serious, his other hand left Hu Gao's body and stood up, thinking for a moment, he directly summoned his Totem Fourth Stage [Crimson Blood Fox].

  The war is about to break out!
