20: Chapter 20 Third Life, Reborn as the Boss of the Opponent's Family (Part 7)

Chen Shi was a bit dazed, unsure of what the item was, but judging by the name, it should be a cultivation resource for the Iron Skin Realm.

Beside him, Yun Qingxue was pleasantly surprised. It was actually a tiexu pill!

A tiexu pill, which allowed one to easily advance to the Iron Skin Realm with just a single pill!

She explained to Chen Shi, "The tiexu pill is a top-grade Yellow-tier medicinal pill, refined from several rare spiritual herbs, and the cost is immense."

Moreover, the refining difficulty is extremely high; it is usually refined by a Profound-tier alchemist within the sect. Even an ordinary Copper Bone Realm elder would need to save up ten years of contribution points to exchange for one.

It is a holy medicine for breaking through realms. When breaking through to the Iron Skin Realm, taking just one pill can increase one's metal affinity tenfold, while simultaneously clearing the mind and greatly reducing the willpower requirement needed for the breakthrough."

Chen Shi understood. It turned out to be a super-strengthened combination of 'iron thread vine' ointment and calming incense; it was indeed quite precious.

One must know that breaking through to the Iron Skin Realm is a leap in life, a change in the essence of life.

Transforming from a purely carbon-based life form into a carbon-metal composite life form.

To break through, one not only needs an extremely strong foundational physique but also needs to find ways to increase metal affinity, allowing one's skin membrane to absorb metal energy more smoothly.

During this process, the entire skin membrane will be in excruciating pain, accompanied by intense itching all over the body. At this time, great willpower is needed to firm the heart and guide the metal energy to fuse and evolve.

If one's willpower is not firm enough and one cannot control their heart during the breakthrough, it will lead to the metal energy running wild.

At best, one will be severely injured and require many years of recuperation before trying again.

At worst, one will sustain hidden injuries, leading to a lifetime of hopelessness in breaking through.

Big Brother has truly sent a generous gift!

Chen Shi continued to open the jade bottle and discovered that there were actually three pills inside.

Good heavens, truly good heavens. Big Brother is worthy of being a prodigy; this is a grand gesture.

Yun Qingxue saw this and exclaimed again, and the two of them looked at Patriarch Chen Lie together.

Patriarch Chen Lie smiled faintly, "Your Big Brother said that since his own younger brother is getting married, he naturally must prepare thoroughly.

He learned that his sister-in-law has been stuck at the peak of the Stone Skin Realm for over a year, so this first one is for Qingxue to use for her breakthrough.

As for the second one, it is for you, his younger brother. Your foundation is not very good, so he thought it would be even more difficult when it comes time to break through, so your Big Brother prepared one for you in advance.

And this third one is because your Big Brother does not know when he will be able to return himself, so he prepared it in advance for the child of you two."

After saying this, Patriarch Chen Lie sighed slightly, "Although these 'tiexu pills' were gifted by your Big Brother.

However, there are several elders in the family stuck at the peak of the Stone Skin Realm unable to make any progress, so you two must not spread the word."

"Thank you, Father." The two stood up and bowed together to thank Patriarch Chen Lie, then sat back down.

Chen Shi suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Father, didn't you say Big Brother sent two generous gifts? What is the other one?"

Patriarch Chen Lie chuckled, with an expression that suggested he had been holding it in for a long time and had been waiting for you to ask. He excitedly said, "It is the Susha Sword Manual."

"Susha Sword Manual?" Chen Shi was slightly stunned. What was this? Wasn't this their own ancestral sword manual?

He quickly reacted, looking at Patriarch Chen Lie with excitement, "Father, could it be?"

"That's right!" Patriarch Chen Lie pretended to be indifferent, but he could not hide the joy in his eyes.

"It is exactly as you thought. What your Big Brother sent back is the complete Susha Sword Manual.

Including the two missing sets of the 《Canfeng Sword Technique》 and 《Xifeng Sword Technique》 from our Chen family, as well as the general outline for fusing the five sword techniques into the complete 'Autumn Susha' artistic conception."

666! This Big Brother is indeed amazing; he actually easily accomplished something that even the Copper Bone Realm ancestors could not do.

However, Chen Shi was a bit confused again.

The tiexu pills were one thing; with Big Brother's status, it was just a bit of effort. But the inheritance of the Susha Sword Manual, that couldn't be that easy, right?

Could it be that Big Brother has made rapid progress in these few years, successfully breaking through to the Copper Bone Realm and becoming the personal disciple of the Supreme Elder?

The ancestor was happy, so he rewarded the Chen family with this Susha Sword Manual.

If you don't understand, ask. Chen Shi looked at his father and started asking.

Patriarch Chen Lie said solemnly, "It is more than that.

Your Big Brother successfully comprehended a trace of sword intent during his cultivation this time. It is true sword intent, the sword intent of the Earth-tier sword classic 《Autumn Sword Classic》.

He has now been taken by the Spirit Sword Sect's Supreme Elder to the prefecture city's upper sect, the Four Seasons Holy Land, and has the hope of being admitted into the holy land to become an Inner Sect Disciple.

You must know that a half-step Silver Marrow Realm Supreme Elder's status in the holy land is merely that of an Inner Sect Disciple.

Our Chen family has truly produced a dragon! My son, Chen Xuan, has the potential to guard the nation!"

666, Big Brother is awesome (voice crack)! This golden thigh can even upgrade itself; he is getting stronger and stronger.

He couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of emotion and pride, "Big Brother is still the most reliable!"

What family ancestors? To put it plainly, they were just mortals who hadn't seen the world before my Big Brother was born!"

Beside him, Yun Qingxue watched him like this and couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and took his arm, her eyes curving, "Having Big Brother's care is our blessing.

In the future, let's cultivate well together and not let down Big Brother's intentions."

Patriarch Chen Lie's face darkened, and he reprimanded, "What kind of talk is that? What do you mean the ancestor is just a mortal? That is your grandfather!"

Chen Shi was stunned and hurriedly begged for mercy.

He was careless. In his moment of pride, he forgot that the Chen family only had a hundred years of history, and the ancestor was just his own grandfather.

But this Chen family is truly awesome. In just three generations, they produced two amazing people who could raise the family's ceiling. Looking at it this way, Father is a bit...

He secretly glanced at Patriarch Chen Lie, just in time to meet his disdainful gaze. He waved his hand, "Go, go.

Your father won't delay you two young lovebirds from being intimate. Go back."

"Thank you, Father." The two spoke in unison.

Afterwards, the couple returned to their small courtyard together.

Time flew by, and Yun Qingxue soon broke through to the Iron Skin Realm and, relying on the prestige of your Big Brother, successfully withdrew from the Spirit Sword Sect.

The married life of you two was exceptionally sweet.

Soon, it was the year 2051 of the Dawu Dynasty, and you were twenty-five years old.

On March 1st, you finally succeeded in breaking through without any danger.

After the breakthrough, you sighed that it was fortunate to have Big Brother's tiexu pill; otherwise, it would have been truly unbearable.

If not for the tiexu pill, you didn't know if your 9 points of willpower, accumulated over many lifetimes, would have been able to withstand it.

Over these years, you also secretly found opportunities to look after your family from your previous two lives, and they are all doing quite well now.

As for Hall Master Zhou Yue, who had shown you kindness, although he worked at the Houshan Martial Arts Hall, the Wang family behind the Houshan Martial Arts Hall and your Chen family were both among the three major families of Pantie City.

The relationships between them were intricate, and you also found opportunities to secretly repay him.

After you and your wife both made breakthroughs, Patriarch Chen Lie officially passed the position of Family Head to you.

You became the third-generation Family Head of the Chen family; you had finally succeeded in becoming the boss.
