60: Chapter 60 Unexpected Changes

Leaving the Yunlai Inn, Pei Qingyun returned to the Pei Clan grounds.

Upon learning the news of Pei Qingyun's return, Pei Tianrong personally came to the ancestral house to pay his respects.

Taking this opportunity, Pei Qingyun also recounted the events that had occurred recently in detail.

Upon learning that his Old Ancestor was in the Late Stage of Five Viscera, Pei Tianrong was filled with excitement, even more so than when he had learned that the Wang Family had voluntarily become a subsidiary family of the Pei Clan.

"The course of events is roughly like this. Currently, I have seven divine power transformation potions in my possession, and combined with the clan's inventory, it is only enough for one person to advance to the Five Viscera Realm. I intend to give this promotion quota to Tianlin," Pei Qingyun said.

"Whatever the Old Ancestor decides is fine; I have no objections. Tianlin needs to fight battles abroad, so giving him this promotion quota is for the best," Pei Tianrong waved his hand to indicate he didn't mind, though he couldn't help feeling a trace of disappointment in his heart.

Standing from the perspective of the Family, he could understand the Old Ancestor's actions. However, from a personal emotional standpoint, he still wished that person could have been himself.

Seemingly noticing Pei Tianrong's disappointment, Pei Qingyun said earnestly, "Tianrong, in the future, when you have free time, you must Cultivate the Evergreen Art more. When the day comes for you to advance to the Five Viscera Realm, you will be able to save yourself quite a bit of effort."

"Understood," Pei Tianrong nodded, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

Pei Qingyun said, "If there is nothing else, go back and Cultivate; the path of martial arts is still long."

"Yes," Pei Tianrong acknowledged, then immediately left the ancestral house.

After witnessing Pei Tianrong's departure, Pei Qingyun went to the Pei Clan's treasury, retrieved three divine power transformation potions, and finally handed them, along with the seven in his possession, to Pei Tianlin.

Upon receiving the divine power transformation potions, Pei Tianlin quickly adjusted his state and entered seclusion.

With the assistance of these ten divine power transformation potions, Pei Tianlin's Breakthrough to the Five Viscera Realm was a sure thing.

However, the transformation of Qi and blood, and even the birth of the Yang Force, still required a process.

...

Returning to the Yunlai Inn.

Pei Qingyun immediately began to Cultivate the Blazing Sun Art. Since being interrupted while cultivating the Blazing Sun Art last night, he had not had time to Cultivate until this morning.

This made Pei Qingyun feel an itch to Cultivate.

Soon, Pei Qingyun entered a state of cultivation.

Perhaps because he was in an excellent state, this cultivation session went very smoothly.

In less than half a day, Pei Qingyun completed the entry level of the Blazing Sun Art.

However, to achieve Minor Achievement in the Blazing Sun Art, even by adding points through the Family Luck, it would still take three days.

If he were to rely on hard work to break through, Pei Qingyun estimated it would take three months.

But fortunately, his daily cultivation would also reduce the consumption of Family Luck required when adding points.

Therefore, Pei Qingyun would not slack off in his cultivation.

The next day.

Just after waking up, Pei Qingyun opened the attribute panel and discovered that the Family Luck column had changed.

[Name: Pei Qingyun] [Lifespan: 10 years and two months] [Cultivation: Late Stage of Five Viscera] [Cultivation Technique: Pei Family Evergreen Art Perfection (Yellow-grade Top-tier), Thousand Blade Slash Perfection (Yellow-grade High-tier), Blazing Sun Art Entry (Yellow-grade Top-tier)] [Family Luck: 981 (1150) (Note: Family Luck can recover, with 11.5 points recovering naturally every day. If Family Luck falls below eighty percent of the total, unpredictable disasters will occur.)]

"Family Luck has increased by fifty points," Pei Qingyun looked at the Family Luck column thoughtfully.

One night passed, and the Family Luck increased.

Pei Qingyun guessed that the greatest possibility for the change in Family Luck was likely because Pei Tianlin had completed his Breakthrough last night.

He recalled that when he broke through to the Five Viscera Realm, the Family Luck had surged by one hundred.

Now that Pei Tianlin had broken through, the Family Luck only increased by fifty, not even half of his own, which was the reason Pei Qingyun dared not be certain.

In the dark, there seemed to be a divine will.

Just as Pei Qingyun was thinking, a knock on the door verified his conjecture.

In sight was none other than Pei Tianlin, who had completed his Breakthrough last night.

Even after a night had passed, Pei Tianlin was still very excited.

It was only when the next day arrived that Pei Tianlin came to Pei Qingyun's room to share the news of his Breakthrough.

"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. After Tianlin broke through to the Five Viscera Realm, the increase in Family Luck was only half of mine; it is highly likely that the attribute panel calculates the proportions differently for me and Tianlin," Pei Qingyun thought to himself.

But regardless, the extra fifty points of Family Luck would allow him to advance the Blazing Sun Art to Minor Achievement two days earlier.

As Pei Qingyun moved his mind, the panel popped up another window.

He chose "Yes" without hesitation.

In just an instant, Pei Qingyun received a large amount of memories regarding the cultivation of the Blazing Sun Art, and his body also subtly changed towards the Minor Achievement of the Blazing Sun Art.

By the time he regained his focus, the Blazing Sun Art had reached Minor Achievement.

Compared to the entry level, the Minor Achievement of the Blazing Sun Art also displayed some explosive power, roughly capable of increasing his Qi and blood and Yang Force by about half a percent based on his Late Stage of Five Viscera foundation.

As for the remaining Family Luck, it was far from enough for the Blazing Sun Art to reach Major Achievement, let alone his goal of Perfection.

Setting aside his thoughts, Pei Qingyun also left the inn.

...

On the other side, after breaking through, Pei Tianlin had not yet had time to show off before being arranged by Pei Qingyun to clear out Demons.

With Pei Tianlin, this newly promoted Five-Viscera Martial Artist, the speed of clearing out Demons was significantly faster.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Pei Clan's team also encountered the second Tier 3 Demon. Under the powerful strength of Pei Qingyun's Late Stage of Five Viscera, the Tier 3 Demon basically had no power to resist and was solved in a few swift moves.

And Pei Qingyun also gained another demon spirit pearl because of this.

Additionally, during this half-month-long cleanup, the number of Demons around the Demon source area had also dropped below the critical value.

Thanks to this cleanup, Demons no longer appeared in the Pei Clan's three mines, and even the frequency of Yao Beast riots had decreased; everything seemed to be developing as expected.

Pei Qingyun estimated that in another seven days, the cleanup mission would be completed.

Of course, with the existence of the Demon source area, clearing out Demons could never be a permanent solution. But after this time, there would at least be a window of several months.

As long as the number of Demons did not exceed the critical value, the Pei Clan would not need to participate again.

However.

During these few days, a major event occurred within Wuyang County. The Wang Family had split, and a portion of the Elders of the Wang Family had broken away, choosing to become independent.

While it was called independence, the root cause was that within the Wang Family, these Elders had not received the benefits they were due.

Under the instigation of the Li Clan, this portion of the Elders of the Wang Family chose to betray the Wang Family.

If it were only this, Pei Qingyun would not care.

Although the Wang Family had become a subsidiary family of the Pei Clan, the Pei Clan did not exercise actual management over the members of the Wang Family.

As long as the Wang Family could guarantee the Pei Clan's obtained interests in the Wang Family's industries.

Clearly, this incident was aimed at benefits.
