119: Chapter 119 Breakthrough in the Six Internal Organs

Within the various prefectures of the Great Jing Dynasty, the price of ordinary horses fluctuates due to local market conditions, but they typically range between thirty and fifty taels each. However, the price for crossbred exotic steeds is at least over one hundred taels.

For instance, the exotic steeds brought by the Wuyang Pei Clan are priced at approximately one hundred and fifty taels each.

The Dragon Scale Horse holds advantages in every aspect, and Pei Qingyun estimates that the price of a single Dragon Scale Horse should fluctuate between two hundred and two hundred and fifty taels.

As for the breeding Dragon Scale Beast, it is a Second-Order exotic beast. A Second-Order exotic beast is not considered very precious, costing at most two or three thousand taels. Even with its breeding advantage, at most it would be three thousand taels each; two would amount to six thousand taels.

Calculating this way, forty thousand taels is sufficient.

Looking at Family Head Pei Yongsheng, who was sitting opposite him, Pei Qingyun awaited the other party's quote.

However, Family Head Pei Yongsheng did not provide a quote, but instead smiled and said, "Clan Elder Qingyun, you are being too formal. We are of the same lineage and are one Family. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning."

Hearing Family Head Pei Yongsheng say this, he understood the other party's intention; this was the Longxi Pei Clan returning his courtesy.

Pei Qingyun responded with a smile, "Then I thank you, Clan Chief Yongsheng."

Although this return gift was half less than the one hundred thousand taels he had given, it still reduced his losses.

Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer.

Just then, a man dressed as a steward of the Longxi Pei Clan whispered a few words into Family Head Pei Yongsheng's ear.

Only then did Family Head Pei Yongsheng say, "Clan Elder Qingyun, Ancestor Yuhuan has sent a message saying he is waiting for you at Dengyun Pavilion. Let us go to Dengyun Pavilion now so as not to keep the old gentleman waiting."

Pei Qingyun acknowledged.

Pei Qingyun had no impression of this Ancestor Yuhuan. Not to mention his appearance, he did not even know the other party's age. He only knew that this was an ancestor of the 'Yu' generation.

It was not until he arrived at Dengyun Pavilion that Pei Qingyun finally saw this legendary Ancestor Yuhuan.

This Ancestor Yuhuan did not look like what he had imagined.

On the surface, Ancestor Yuhuan did not possess any so-called immortal aura or the demeanor of a high-level expert.

He looked more like an ordinary old man from next door, with a slightly hunched back. Wearing a plain white long gown with white hair and beard, the entire person appeared simple and unadorned.

Yet, when Pei Qingyun looked at Ancestor Yuhuan, an unprecedentedly strong sense of crisis rose in his heart; that hunched body was like a volcanic furnace containing terrifying energy.

Once it erupted, the terrifying energy could instantly burn him into ashes.

A Grandmaster of Meridians enjoys a Lifespan of three cycles. To some extent, his body was already vastly different from an ordinary person, and he could be considered to have half-stepped out of the category of ordinary humans.

As the two arrived, Ancestor Yuhuan's gaze fell upon Pei Qingyun.

However, within his deep gaze, there was a trace of an imperceptible strangeness.

"Pei Qingyun pays respects to Ancestor Yuhuan." Pei Qingyun immediately bowed. Family Head Pei Yongsheng, standing to the side, also bowed along with him.

After the exchange of greetings, Family Head Pei Yongsheng took the initiative to leave. Ancestor Yuhuan was meeting Pei Qingyun, not him, the current Clan Chief.

At this moment, only Pei Qingyun and Ancestor Yuhuan remained inside Dengyun Pavilion.

In the Wuyang Pei Clan, Pei Qingyun was the current Old Ancestor, and his status, position, and strength were all the highest. But together with Ancestor Yuhuan, he was merely a Junior.

Before Pei Qingyun could speak, Ancestor Yuhuan spoke first, "Qingyun, there is no need to be restrained here. In terms of seniority, I am your Great-Granduncle, so you can speak freely if you have anything to say."

Hearing this, Pei Qingyun could not help but be stunned. In his memory, among the direct ancestors of the 'Yu' generation of the Wuyang County Pei Clan, there were only three great-grandfathers.

Since Ancestor Yuhuan asked him to address him as Great-Granduncle, it seemed there was some connection between the two.

Since Ancestor Yuhuan had said so, clearly showing an intention of closeness, it was even less possible for him to choose to be distant. Thus, Pei Qingyun immediately changed his form of address, "Greetings, Great-Granduncle. Qingyun has a favor to ask."

Seeing Pei Qingyun address him this way, a gratified smile appeared on Ancestor Yuhuan's face, "Qingyun, you are already a Six Bowels Grandmaster. Coming to the Longxi Pei Clan this time, you must be here for the Bloodline Cultivation Technique."

Pei Qingyun was not surprised; as a Six Bowels Grandmaster, it was normal for his Realm to be seen through by Ancestor Yuhuan. If it were a Grandmaster of Meridians who could not even see through his Realm, that would be the surprise.

Back in the last few days before reaching the Longxi Prefecture City, the Family Luck had already accumulated enough.

Just as Pei Qingyun had deduced, when his cultivation points broke through to one thousand eight hundred, he also completed the fifth transformation of his Yang Force.

With each transformation, his Yang Force would become a bit richer, and its purity would also increase significantly. Although he was unsure if this change had any benefits for breaking through to the Six Bowels Grandmaster Realm, the most direct benefit of the Yang Force transformation was a certain degree of improvement in strength.

He simply did not have the opportunity to test it, choosing instead to directly add it to the cultivation column, selecting to break through directly to the Six Viscera Realm. For this, he had even stopped for half a day in a prefecture near the Longxi Prefecture City.

From the Five Viscera Realm to the Six Viscera Realm, this kind of major Realm Breakthrough usually requires a considerable amount of time, and it also requires an absolutely quiet environment, or even the use of some auxiliary Medicinal Pills, to protect the Meridians.

But Pei Qingyun was different; by using the method of adding cultivation points via Family Luck, he spent less than a breath of time breaking through to the Six Bowels Realm. It was just that from the Five Viscera Realm to the Six Bowels Realm, the essence of life obtained a certain degree of improvement. In the process of adapting to this transformation, Pei Qingyun spent quite a bit of time. However, everything was worth it.

After breaking through to the Six Viscera Realm, the vitality within his body increased significantly by several folds, and his entire mental state looked several years younger. But the changes in his appearance were not that astonishing.

What surprised Pei Qingyun the most was that when he broke through to the Six Viscera Realm, his attribute panel began to upgrade. Up until now, the upgrade progress was only sixty percent complete. According to the upgrade progress display, by the time he returned to Wuyang, it should be completed, or perhaps even a little earlier.

Pei Qingyun explained seriously, "Great-Granduncle, your Wisdom Eye is like a torch. Ever since Qingyun entered the Six Bowels Realm, the effect of my practicing the Pei Family Evergreen Art is not even one-third of what it was during the Five Viscera Realm. Why is this?"

"The Pei Family Evergreen Art you are practicing is actually only the first part of the Cultivation Technique. After entering the Six Bowels Grandmaster Realm, the Five Viscera and Six Bowels will construct a major circulation of Qi, blood, and Yang Force. I believe you should be able to perceive this. Simply practicing the first part of the Pei Family Evergreen Art is not enough to drive both forces simultaneously. If you want to ensure the balance of the major circulation, you have to expend several times the energy. This is also one of the reasons why Yellow-grade Cultivation Techniques are not suitable for the Six Viscera Realm."

"But the second part of the Pei Family Evergreen Art is different; it can drive both forces to proceed simultaneously, thereby achieving twice the result with half the effort."
