Chapter 553: Chapter 552 Xu Xiao’s Talent
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Mr. Yang is asking for you to go inside," Xu Yunshan said as he exited the room, where several people standing guard hurriedly congratulated him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone and with his face glowing red with excitement, Xu Yunshan said to Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao.
The group was taken aback.
Xu Liangyou was particularly puzzled, "He wants both of us to go in together?"
"Yes, cut the chatter and just go in. Dammit, our Xu Family has truly encountered a benefactor this time, hahaha..." Unable to contain his excitement, Xu Yunshan laughed heartily in front of Zhu Tianshou, Luo Yong, and Wang Chengcuo.
Not long ago during their time in Japan, the three brothers were of lower status compared to others, but now that he himself had stepped into the Innate Realm, he was on equal footing with Zhu Tianshou, Luo Yong, and Wang Chengcuo.
Not only that, soon Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao would also step into the Innate Realm. At that point, aside from Xu Jian, the Xu Family would have three Innate Realm experts presiding over it. Looking at the current Divine Continent Martial World, which aristocratic family or Sect could compare to the Xu Family?
Originally, the Xu Family had placed all their bets on Yang Fei, and it had truly paid off.
"Big Brother, did you say Mr. Yang asked for both me and Second Brother to go in?" Xu Xiao was still somewhat in disbelief.
When his son and grandson were killed, his hatred for Yang Fei cut deep. Later, for the future of the Xu Family, he put the greater good first and ceased being Yang Fei’s enemy, yet deep down, he still struggled to let go completely.
Zhang Wenfeng’s downfall had proved that the Xu Family had chosen the right side, and any remaining grievances Xu Xiao had against Xu Yunshan and Xu Liangyou vanished. However, there remained an insurmountable barrier in his heart towards Yang Fei.
Even though he had lately been very accommodating to Yang Fei’s requests, it was only for the sake of the Xu Family’s welfare.
Now his big brother had become an Innate Realm expert with the help of Yang Fei. How could he, a man who had been stuck in the Unique Tier for more than a decade, not feel envious?
He had assumed that Yang Fei would assist them one by one and that it might be a long time before his own turn came, if ever. Given their past conflict, he doubted whether Yang Fei would genuinely want to help. Unexpectedly, Yang Fei had asked for him and his Second Brother to go in together.
Was this an act of putting past grievances aside and promoting him?
Xu Xiao felt moved for the first time, deeply letting go of the past grudge over his deceased descendants.
"Quit wasting time, hurry up and go in, don’t keep Mr. Yang waiting," urged Xu Yunshan.
Xu Liangyou did not ponder as much as Xu Xiao, but he was still excited and somewhat nervous as he looked at Xu Yunshan, "Big Brother, is... is it really that easy?"
Understanding the mindset of his two brothers and recalling his own advancement to the Innate Realm, Xu Yunshan smiled, "Don’t worry, to Mr. Yang, helping someone enter the Innate Realm seems as easy as playing, way too easy."
Luo Yong and Wang Chengcuo’s mouths twitched skeptically!
If it were really as easy as playing, then the Innate Realm would be as common as stray dogs by now. How would it have been their turn to dominate the Cultivation Realm for decades?
Zhu Tianshou cleared his throat and said, "It’s not that easy, it’s just that the three Xu brothers have been in the Unique Tier for many years and were only one step away from the Innate Realm, which is why Yang Fei could help you breakthrough successfully."
Xu Yunshan nodded, "That’s the way it is. What are you waiting for, get in there quick."
Finally snapping out of it, Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao exchanged a look, steadied their emotions, and pushed the door open to enter.
No wonder Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao were so excited.
Breaking through to the Innate Realm had been their ardent wish for decades, and now, seeing a chance to achieve it, how could they not be thrilled?
As Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao entered the room, they saw Yang Fei sitting there waiting.
The two had known Yang Fei for a long time, but at this moment they felt a sense of unfamiliarity, and compared to their past interactions, there was now a certain distance.
Xu Liangyou called out to Mr. Yang with heartfelt respect.
Xu Xiao’s lips twitched, but she could not bring herself to speak out loud, yet in her eyes looking at Yang Fei, there was a sincere gratitude.
Yang Fei smiled and said, "I had no experience before and thought there would be great difficulty, but looking at the breakthrough process of the senior Xu Yunshan, it seems that at your level, you are only one step away from the Innate Realm. You just need a moment of sudden enlightenment, so I let the two of you come in together, and I will solve it for you at one time."
Xu Liangyou gratefully said, "Thanks to Mr. Yang’s great kindness, the gratitude is immense. I, Xu Liangyou, and our Xu Family will surely repay you with the full strength of our clan in the future."
Xu Xiao remained silent, but nodded silently on the side.
For such a great kindness, the people of the Xu Family must never forget.
"Talking about repayment is too formal, let’s just say that being born in such an era, perhaps there’s a broader stage waiting for us in the future. Let’s move forward together and strive to make progress together," Yang Fei said with a smile.
"I swear to follow to the death!" Xu Liangyou said solemnly.
This time, Xu Xiao also spoke up, "That’s right, Mr. Yang is a benefactor to our Xu Family, and from now on, the Xu Family will be tied to you, swearing loyalty to the death!"
Seeing the sincerity of the two, Yang Fei felt reassured and did not put on airs any longer. He said, "Alright, let’s not speak of such formalities. First, I will give you the acupuncture, then I will teach you the Nourishing Divine Soul Mind Power Method. Once you comprehend this Magic Technique, stepping into the Innate Realm will be a breeze, and it’s equivalent to entering the Half-step Divine Travel Realm."
"What?" Xu Liangyou’s body trembled slightly.
Xu Xiao’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yang Fei.
Is this bragging a bit too much?
We can’t even cross the threshold of the Innate Realm, and you’re saying we will step into the Half-step Divine Travel Realm?
That is the Divine Travel Realm.
Legend has it that one can kill with a mere thought, the realm of Divine Power for a Great Cultivator.
"Heh, don’t be surprised just yet, stay calm and adjust your mindset. I will give you the acupuncture, and after you step into the Innate Realm, you will understand," Yang Fei said, not bothering to explain further, as he urged them to calm down.
As Unique Tier Martial Artists, Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao adjusted their mindsets quickly. In a short while, both sat cross-legged on the ground, entering a silent state of cultivation.
Yang Fei gave each of them a silver needle, and the immediate effects of the Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique became apparent.
Before the brothers could be amazed, Yang Fei explained to them the essence of the Power Elements. Then, without holding back, he imparted the mnemonic for the Taoist technique of nourishing the spirit and opening the Sea of Consciousness Space. He instructed them to use the state of heightened cultivation they reached through the Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique to strive to sense the existence of the Heaven and Earth Power.
When Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao fell into meditation, Yang Fei was not idle either but sat cross-legged to practice, meditating in cultivation.
After his confrontation with Sun Xingyu who had inherited the Guardian God, although he had mostly recovered after several days, that battle had inspired him and he felt a swift growth in his spiritual power was within reach.
Within the room, all three entered a highly efficient state of cultivation. Although the Spiritual Power on Earth was thin, the elemental powers of heaven and earth were quickly drawn over by the simultaneous cultivation of the three people.
The Innate Realm masters stationed outside the room could clearly sense this phenomenon and were secretly astounded. Soon, they too were drawn by this rich concentration of Power Elements and began to sit down and practice.
As a result, even more Spiritual Energy rapidly converged towards the island, significantly increasing the island’s density of Spiritual Energy by more than tenfold compared to usual.
After three hours, Yang Fei suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze fell on Xu Xiao.
This guy has decent talent.
Xu Yunshan took almost thirty hours to successfully break through and step into the Innate Realm. Yang Fei had thought Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao would need the same amount of time, or even more.
Yet only five or six hours had passed, and Xu Xiao had already gained some control over the Heaven and Earth Power and was about to break through.
It seems cultivation really does vary in terms of innate talent.
