637: Chapter 637 Aura

It was just two Golden Core True Persons making a Breakthrough. Given the current scale of the Liu Family, logically, there was no need to be secretive about it.

If this kind of thing happened once every few years, it certainly wouldn't need to be concealed, but the problem was that Liu family members were having Breakthroughs far too frequently!

Liu Xuan had nearly two thousand wives and concubines, and with his full support, their cultivation progress was not a whit inferior to the Personal Disciples of major Sects.

In the Liu Clan School, there were also over a thousand Prodigy descendants with exaggerated talent, who were being cultivated by the Family regardless of the cost.

This led to someone in the Liu residence triggering natural phenomena due to a Breakthrough Bottleneck from time to time.

Situations like today, where two people had a Breakthrough simultaneously, had already happened many times; there had even been one instance where three people had a Breakthrough Bottleneck within a single day.

If they didn't conceal this, the outside of the Liu residence would be surrounded by countless Cultivators looking for excitement every time.

Although concealing the Breakthrough phenomena couldn't hide the fact that Liu family members were improving their cultivation rapidly, as long as everyone didn't see it with their own eyes, the impact would be much weaker.

"Father, are Big Brother and Little Sister Yu Chi about to advance to the Golden Core?"

A handsome young man wearing azure Daoist robes stepped on electric light and arrived beside Liu Xuan, asking in a low voice.

The young man had a face that looked as if it were carved by a knife and axe—exquisitely perfect and carrying a calm dignity. He was incredibly handsome, and he was none other than Peach Blossom's son, Liu Jing Zun.

In terms of looks alone, Jing Zun was the son who looked most like his father, Liu Xuan; he could be considered the second most handsome person in the world!

"Mm!" Liu Xuan nodded with a smile and reached out to pat his shoulder. "What about you? How long until you reach the Late Golden Core Stage?"

Jing Zun was not even thirteen years old this year, yet his cultivation had already reached the Mid Golden Core Stage, catching up to Tong Xiao, who was over ten years his senior.

A High Grade Seventh-Rank Azure Dragon Bloodline was no joke. Liu Xuan estimated that he would be able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm around the age of twenty, and had hopes of reaching Soul Transformation around the age of a hundred.

If Jing Zun reached Soul Transformation, Liu Xuan would inevitably be able to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation as well.

Therefore, this kid was the apple of Liu Xuan's eye, and he couldn't allow a single accident to befall him. He had always been personally protected by his mother, Peach Blossom, and was not allowed to take a single step outside the range of the Biyou City array.

Fortunately, this kid's personality was completely different from his older brother Tong Xiao; he didn't like running around, nor did he like to play. He was only interested in planting Spirit Medicine and Alchemy.

He usually spent his time either tending to Spirit Medicine in the spirit fields or practicing Alchemy in the Pill Refining Room. Coupled with his aloof personality, he didn't have many friends among his siblings.

"About two or three years!" Jing Zun answered indifferently, then took out a notebook and pointed to a spot, asking: "Father, every time I make this Qianyuan Pill, I lose some medicinal power during the final step of forming the pill, which causes the Medicinal Pill quality to drop. Help me see what's going on."

Liu Xuan carefully looked at his notebook records. "This... it should be related to the demon power inside your body. You can..."

"Is that so?" Jing Zun was thoughtful. "I'll give it a try in a while."

After saying this, he flipped the notebook in his hand further back. "Also, the Awakening Spirit Pill I refined clearly succeeded, so why did it have the side effect of being addictive after consumption?"

"Also, every time I refine a True Yang Pill, it explodes when I am performing the Fusion of the medicinal effects. Why is that?"

"And also, and also..."

"Enough!!"

Liu Xuan suddenly interrupted, then smiled and said: "Jing Zun! This path of Alchemy requires gradual progress; the most taboo thing is to be overly eager for success. You are still young, solve the problems one by one, don't ask too much!"

It wasn't a good thing for a child to be too sensible and too eager to learn, because it was quite exhausting for the parents.

Just then, two more streaks of light flew toward Liu Xuan, transforming into two equally handsome youths.

Tong Xiao was wearing a bright yellow, luxurious long robe, with a precious sword at his waist and a jade pendant Magical Artifact around his neck, dressed just like a crown prince.

Jinglei was a bit more low-key; he was wearing a thunder-patterned Daoist robe, looking every bit like a Prodigy Disciple from a major Sect.

"Dad, Jinglei and I plan to go to the East Sea to gain some experience with Fourth Brother. Can you talk to Aunt Peach Blossom and let us go?"

Jing Zun, Jinglei, Tong Xiao, and Yu Chi—these children with a Bloodline rank of Fifth Grade or higher were usually under the care of Peach Blossom. Without her order, they couldn't leave Biyou City.

"Experience?" Liu Xuan said with a slightly angry tone. "Is that what you call gaining experience? It's more like going to mess around with the Fourth one!"

Jinglei lowered his head in embarrassment, but Tong Xiao loudly retorted with a look of defiance: "Father, you once said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. We want to go to the East Sea to see different scenery, how is that messing around?"

"Besides, the essence of gaining experience is to see different things and thus accumulate various kinds of experience. From this perspective, is there any difference between messing around and gaining experience?"

Liu Xuan reached out and rubbed his temples. "Your Bloodline ranks are too high; it's very dangerous to go to the East Sea!"

"Then what should we do?" Tong Xiao was instantly dejected. "Biyou City is just too boring!"

"How about this!" Tong Xiao's eyes rolled as he stated his original purpose. "We won't go to the East Sea; we can go to Star Immortal City, right?"

"There is now a Teleportation Array between Star Immortal City and Biyou City. Even if we encounter danger, we can send word to Aunt Peach Blossom and Father immediately."

"No!" Liu Xuan refused flatly.

Just as Tong Xiao was planning to protest, he heard Liu Xuan say: "You might as well go to the East Sea. Next time I go, I'll take you with me, but when I come back, you both must come back with me."

"Really?"

Tong Xiao and Jinglei were both pleasantly surprised.

"If you kid question your father like this again, believe it or not, I'll only take Jinglei and not you?"

"Dad, I know I was wrong!"

Tong Xiao knelt directly to salute, saying with a flattering face: "Dad has always been a man of his word; how would I dare to question you?"

"It's just that this news is too exciting, and I'm a bit agitated!"

Seeing that Liu Xuan wasn't actually angry, Tong Xiao immediately stood up and leaned in next to him, spouting nonsense.

After the four father and sons chatted for a while, Tong Xiao looked at the silent Jing Zun on the side and asked: "Jing Zun, do you want to come with us?"

"I won't go, I wish you a good time!"

Jing Zun put away the notebook in his hand, bowed to Liu Xuan, and then used his Escape Technique to leave.

"Jing Zun likes Alchemy; don't you lead him astray!" Liu Xuan cautioned.

"Dad, you can rest assured!" Tong Xiao looked in the direction where Jing Zun had disappeared and shrank his neck. "His aura is too strong. If you weren't here, I wouldn't even dare to speak to him, fearing he might hit me!"

Jinglei, on the side, nodded repeatedly. "Little Brother Jing Zun doesn't play with us usually, he's silent and reticent, and the brothers are all very afraid of him."

"He wants to hit people?" Liu Xuan frowned and asked.

"That's not it!" Jinglei shook his head. "His expression is very fierce, and his strength and Realm are high. He looks unapproachable at first glance. Only Big Brother and Fourth Brother are close to him."

Liu Xuan heard this and shook his head with a smile. Most of his children were not very old, and having lived under his protection since they were young, they all had a childish Heart-Nature, especially those children with high-rank Yao Race Bloodlines.
