"Should we replace Tian’er?"
What the eldest just said was aid at Yao Tian, but it wasn’t unreasonable.
After all, Tian’er is only at the seventh grade now.
Such strength really isn’t enough.
This ti, if he spends such a great cost but it ultimately cos to nothing, the Yao Family’s losses would be too great.
But if they really were to replace him, it would still be sowhat heart-wrenching.
For the position of the next Patriarch, compared to Yao Jing, he actually has more faith in Yao Tian.
"Soone co!"
At this mont, Yao De suddenly spoke out.
In the next mont, a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe appeared in the hall, with even the face unseen.
"Master!"
The black-clad person’s voice was hoarse.
Sitting above, Yao De took out a purple-golden wooden box from his bosom.
He gently caressed the box with both hands, eyes filled with reluctance.
This wooden box held a great dicine nearly 700 years old, and he had spent a fortune obtaining it.
Moreover, this dicine was originally intended to help break through to the fourth-grade realm.
However, for years, his Martial Dao made no progress.
And now, at nearly 70 years old, reaching the fourth grade is nothing but a fool’s dream.
"Forget it, give it to Tian’er!"
Let it be his last chance.
He then tossed the box over and instructed, "Deliver it to Tian’er and tell him to achieve a realm breakthrough to the sixth grade within a month; otherwise, he will be replaced!"
"Yes, Master!"
After the black-clad person left, Yao De leaned back in his chair.
"Tian’er, Tian’er, I hope you won’t disappoint your father."
....
At this mont, Yao Tian and Yao Jing were walking side by side.
"Fourth Brother, your words in front of Father just now made , as your elder brother, feel quite distressed."
"Haha, Eldest Brother, can you still feel distressed?"
"Why not? I am thinking of the Yao Family’s interest, unlike you, whose heart is set on that position."
"Are you that good, Eldest Brother?"
"Of course, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
The two exchanged smiles, showing none of the previous tension.
If it weren’t for their conversation, onlookers might truly believe they had deep brotherly affection.
....
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Chen Xuan opened his eyes.
[Last night’s passionate journey with Su Yun was very satisfying, reward: 50 skill points! Famous Spring Water bonus: 5 points!]
"50 points? So many?"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
It had been steadily 40 points for a while.
Why did it give 50 points this ti?
Getting more points made him happy, but he wanted to understand why.
So he began to recall the details of last night carefully.
Nothing special, the positions, the tricks, he’d done them all before.
If there was any change, it was that last night Su Yun seed slightly stronger.
He hadn’t paid attention to this at the ti.
But why did she suddenly get stronger?
"Could it be because of training with Liu Rushi?"
At this mont, he suddenly thought of this.
If that’s really the case, then does Su Yun’s improvent in strength an he gets more skill points accordingly?
No, he needs to ask Liu Rushi later, to see how Su Yun’s cultivation has been recently. If that’s really the case, he needs to pay more attention to this aspect.
Sigh~~~
He exhaled lightly and habitually summoned the panel.

[Skill Points: 1132]
"Still a long way to go!"
Chen Xuan murmured to himself, working hard every day, but the progress was still too slow.
"There’s still more than half a month left."
He started to calculate carefully, adding the current 50 points daily, plus the 5-point bonus.
For half a month, that’s about 825 points.
Calculating like this, it would be just enough to upgrade the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Lower Part) to the next realm.
But he just didn’t know if it was exactly as he guessed.
He glanced down at Su Yun, who was still sleeping, pecked lightly on her forehead, and then quietly got out of bed.
After getting up, the first thing Chen Xuan did was go to the kitchen, not because he was hungry, but to prepare Xiaobai’s breakfast.
A chicken, a duck, and a half-ter-long fish.
Then he went to the pond in the front yard.
"Xiaobai, it’s breakfast ti."
He shouted, then tossed the chicken, duck, and fish into the air above the pond.
Suddenly,
A white shadow broke through the water.
Xiaobai!
After half a month, it was now a ter long, and its snake body was as thick as Chen Xuan’s small arm.
Under the morning sun, Xiaobai’s body was mixed with a shade of gold.
It opened its snake mouth and swallowed each in one gulp, ingesting it whole.
Next, Chen Xuan took out a white porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out a red pill, tossing the Beast Breeding Pill into Xiaobai’s mouth.
"Hiss hiss~~~"
Upon eating the Beast Breeding Pill, Xiaobai let out a series of hissing sounds, its snake eyes showing a happy expression at the mont.
"Alright, digest well, and grow up quickly!"
Chen Xuan clapped his hands, feeling it was becoming more and more intelligent.
Xiaobai, too, let out a series of ’hiss’ sounds, as if responding to him.
At this mont, heavy footsteps ca from afar.
Chen Xuan looked towards the direction of the sound, and after a mont, saw Liu Rushi appear within sight, followed by six burly n, carrying a large wooden box.
At this mont, the faces of these six burly n were sowhat fierce, with beads of sweat clearly visible on their foreheads, gasping with gritted teeth at every step.
It was clear that the wooden box was not light.
"Master is feeding Xiaobai," Liu Rushi said with a smile as she greeted him.
"Hmm, what is this...?"
Chen Xuan pointed at the wooden box behind her.
"This? Master Chen sent soone to deliver it. The last ti we left, I casually ntioned the Earth Spirit Snake’s food was running low, and here we go; they sent quite so demon beast at."
"Oh, so it is. Master is really considerate, and you’ve also put in so effort."
Chen Xuan was very grateful.
This Chen Mansion couldn’t do without Liu Rushi.
"You’re too kind, Young Master." Liu Rushi smiled and then ordered the six burly n, "Just take these to the kitchen."
After instructing them, she took out a bag of silver from her bosom and handed it to the leading burly man, "You’ve worked hard, take it for a drink!"
"Thank you, Chief Steward Liu!"
The six burly n thanked her in unison, their faces beaming with joy. Knowing there were at least several dozen taels of silver in that bag, they were among the lowest-ranking laborers in the black market; this amount equaled several months of wages, naturally making them happy.
