134: Wang Teng: Uncles, I have made great contributions to the society!

While Shen Li entered cultivation, time did not stand still; it silently moved forward.

It was seven days later when he controlled the Dharma Boat and returned to the Wang Family Market.

Wang Teng disembarked the Dharma Boat and, amidst the welcome of his various hangers-on, ran into the Wang Family residence.

He was no longer the same person as before and couldn't associate with these people.

Of course, he might have in the past, but certainly not anymore.

Because he! The Prodigy of the Wang Family, the Scion of the Wang Family, the future Family Head of the Wang Family, a Foundation Establishment True Person, Young Master Wang, was no longer what he once was.

Indulging in eating, drinking, and entertainment was enjoyable, but it would only erode his will and diminish his Aptitude.

He... disdained such activities!

Of course, the most important reason was that he had already had enough fun.

It was quite meaningless.

Upon entering the residence, this time, Wang Chen did not greet him with a whip.

Instead, he looked at Wang Teng with confusion, wanting to see why this brat had returned so inexplicably.

Seeing Wang Teng's cultivation at Qi Refining Stage 4, a hint of shock inevitably flashed in his eyes.

One Realm per year, if nothing unexpected happened... staying with Shen Li for seven years, he might just come back as a Late Stage Qi Refining Cultivator?

This deal was a huge profit!

Reaching Qi Refining Perfection in ten years, Wang Teng would only be in his thirties then, and there would be great hope for him to Break through to Foundation Establishment True Person.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen felt even more relieved and spoke in a rare gentle tone.

"What's wrong? Missing home again?"

Wang Teng didn't joke around much; he simply asked.

"Uncle, what should one do if targeted by a Half-Step Dao Foundation?"

Seeing this, Wang Chen... looked at Wang Teng. Wang Teng's expression was not playful or disrespectful; instead, it revealed a hint of solemnity.

He quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately stood up, saying,

"What did you guys do? To actually be targeted by such an existence?"

Wang Teng roughly explained the whole story, and Wang Chen's face showed shock as he said,

"You two little brats! How audacious! How dare you instigate numerous Immortal Sect Disciples to besiege the Luan Xiu Alliance's stronghold?"

"I know a thing or two about the Luan Xiu Alliance's stronghold; there's a Qi Refining Perfection aura within... And for some reason, Qingchi Mountain chose not to move against it, yet you two have stirred up a hornet's nest!"

"But that Half-Step Dao Foundation... I don't know much about him!"

Wang Teng said impatiently,

"Uncle, can you say something useful? It's already done, and to be honest, I don't regret it! I had a blast this time!"

"You didn't see the scene: numerous Immortal Sects stood side by side, slaughtering Demonic Path Cultivators, Extreme Martial Warriors clashing, and Shen fighting that Extreme Martial Warrior + Qi Refining Perfection one-on-one!"

"Of course, the most amazing part of this battle was my Breakthrough during the fight, Breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 4 in adversity, suppressing a Yao Beast, destroying the Formation Foundation, and establishing an indelible merit for this great battle!"

"Afterward! Many Immortal Sect True Disciples praised me, saying I had the appearance of an Immortal Master!"

Wang Teng was indeed Wang Teng; he could turn black into white.

Wang Chen, hearing this, naturally ignored the latter part and only said in shock,

"An Extreme Martial Warrior + a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator, these two combined are practically invincible. What did Shen Li do? To be able to defeat such a person?"

"Could he already be Qi Refining Perfection?"

"Impossible! When he came here a while ago, wasn't he only Qi Refining Stage 5?"

Wang Teng still wanted to boast, but seeing Wang Chen's darkened face and the whip he had taken out again, he could only honestly explain.

"Oh, Shen Li refined a Sword Pill and became a Sword Cultivator!"

"And he also Broke through to Refining Qi!"

Wang Chen had long known about the existence of the Sword Pill... But even a Sword Pill could never allow a Refining Qi to single-handedly fight an Extreme Martial Warrior and a Qi Refining Perfection!

Seeing this, Wang Teng could only honestly explain.

"The Sword Pill Shen Li consumed... is definitely not a Ninth-Grade one. Although I haven't felt it myself, during the clan's grand competition, Old Ancestor Tian Zhen came and released Heavenly Light for the assessment, and I remembered the aura of that Sword Pill."

"That Sword Pill's aura... although vastly different from Shen Li's Sword Pill, it's only a difference in Spiritual Qi... but in essence, it seems to be somewhat close to... a Heavenly Light Sword Pill!"

Wang Chen immediately gasped, instantly understanding why Shen Li had hidden the matter of the Sword Pill back then!

What grade was the Sword Pill in their own Immortal Master's hand now?

It was an existence about to step into the Sixth Grade!

In other words, Shen Li's Sword Pill was at least a Seventh-Grade or Eighth-Grade one!

Such a Sword Pill was a treasure!

Rarely seen in a hundred years!

If his Shen Family had known, they would have tried to seize it, even if it meant breaking the relationship between the two clans!

But there were no 'ifs'; once consumed and refined, it was Shen Li's Opportunity.

Such was the world of adults.

Wang Chen said in a deep voice,

"Judging by this, Shen Li indeed might be able to fight above his Realm, but relying solely on his one-on-one fight, his Spiritual Qi wouldn't be that abundant, would it? I suppose there was a long stalemate, and you guys provided assistance?"

Wang Teng: "Huh?"

"Stalemate what?"

"Spiritual Qi not abundant what?"

"Assistance my foot?"

"Shen Li instantly killed him."

Wang Chen's forehead immediately bulged with veins.

"Are you experiencing Qi Deviation again? How could he instantly kill those two! Qi Refining Perfection and Extreme Martial Warrior are not roadside weeds; they can't just be cut down!"

Wang Teng said "Oh" belatedly, then explained,

"Uncle, you misunderstood; that Qi Refining Perfection and Extreme Martial Warrior are one and the same!"

Wang Chen waved his hand: "Guards! Tie this beast up and put him on the Cold Mountain Stone to calm down! He's had a cultivation mishap, his mind is full of impossible things! He must have been possessed by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon!"

"Eh? Eh? Wait... Uncle, let me explain!"

"That Qi Refining Perfection... was in a Soul state. He was an Immortal Master who escaped from the Yin Nether Sect, named Puppet Demon. He specialized in Spirit Puppets and Soul-Snatching techniques, and he had possessed the Extreme Martial Warrior."

"Shen Li's Sword Pill, according to that Puppet Demon Immortal Master, is a Taiyin Sword Pill, an incredibly rare Taiyin Dao Lineage...."

"They all say that the Taiyin Dao Lineage slaughters Souls as easily as cutting paper!!! So Shen Li seized the Opportunity and instantly killed that Puppet Demon Immortal Master!"

"Causing the Puppet Demon Immortal Master's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

Wang Chen was struck as if by lightning, then furiously pounded his chest and stamped his feet!

"Taiyin Dao Lineage! Taiyin Dao Lineage! The Shen Family Immortal Seed... What immense luck!"

"Never mind, never mind. Release this beast."

Wang Teng, now unbound, rubbed his reddened wrists and grumbled,

"Uncle, did I not cause trouble this time... Why do you still call me a beast!"

"Shut up!"

Wang Chen flicked his sleeve and said in a deep voice,

"I will go see the Immortal Master first and inquire with him. If there's anything, I'll summon you back."

"Alright."

Wang Chen left the main hall, and Wang Teng sat down, patiently waiting.

But he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After about the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, Wang Chen slowly returned, his steps heavy.

His eyes held a strange... meaning as he said,

"The Immortal Master has summoned you."
