55: Grandfather recovered, and the past

Regardless of Mo Dengxian’s impotent rage,

Xiao Qingyuan traveled quickly underground, eating Medicinal Pills when he was hungry.

When he was tired, he absorbed Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

He hurried all the way back to the clan’s territory.

What surprised Xiao Tianheng was that even his clan’s protective grand formation couldn’t stop Xiao Qingyuan’s Five Elements Escape Technique.

The three of them directly broke through layers of Restrictions and arrived at Xiao Tianheng’s Immortal Cave.

The old man was momentarily dazed.

“Qingyuan, is this your innate Divine Ability?”

Xiao Qingyuan chuckled, not explaining.

In reality, even he was very surprised, gaining a deeper understanding of this Five Elements Escape Technique.

It seemed that ordinary Restrictions below the second tier couldn't stop him.

“No wonder! Cough, cough, cough…”

Xiao Tianheng attributed this skill to his pupil technique.

“Grandfather, are you alright?” Xiao Qingyuan asked, his face full of worry, and quickly took out more healing Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch.

Xiao Tianheng waved his hand to stop him.

“Don’t bother, Grandfather was injured in his youth and went through many dangers on the battlefield.

His Lifespan was damaged.

Fortunately, the outcome was good, bringing an Opportunity for the Xiao Clan Immortal Family to rise.”

He then glanced at Xie Yuming beside him.

“Grandfather, this is Xie Yuming, a concubine your Grandson just took.”

Xie Yuming respectfully kowtowed three times to the old man.

Xiao Tianheng smiled upon hearing this and waved his hand.

“Good child, girl, you go out first. I have something to discuss with Qingyuan.”

Xie Yuming’s face lit up upon hearing this, and she respectfully withdrew.

“Grandfather, your injuries?”

“It’s truly nothing. Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the natural order of things.”

With that, Xiao Tianheng handed the remaining eight thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones and the geng metal gourd to Xiao Qingyuan.

Xiao Qingyuan thought for a moment, took the gourd, and accepted half of the Spirit Stones.

He didn’t lack Spirit Stones now, but if his Grandfather couldn't Breakthrough, his Lifespan wouldn't last much longer.

Then he thought of something else.

He quickly rummaged through his Storage Pouch again.

“Grandfather, this is ten thousand year spiritual milk. It will definitely restore your injuries to their original state and allow your Realm to Breakthrough quickly. Please consume it, and your Grandson will act as your Protector!”

Xiao Tianheng’s eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance upon seeing this.

“ten thousand year spiritual milk?”

This was a good item that could allow one to Breakthrough to the tenth level of Qi Condensation.

However, Xiao Tianheng still waved his hand, shaking his head in refusal.

“For Grandfather in this life, being able to see hope in his final days is already worth it!”

He held Xiao Qingyuan’s hand.

“This item is for you, for your father, for your eldest brother, all better than wasting it on an old man like me!”

However, Xiao Qingyuan didn't say a word and directly shoved it into Xiao Tianheng’s mouth.

Then he pressed his hand on Xiao Tianheng’s back, helping him refine the medicinal power.

He didn’t give him a chance to refuse.

He chuckled, “Grandfather, don’t say this thing was stolen; it was a no-cost business to begin with.

Even if it’s worth ten thousand Spirit Stones, compared to your health, it’s not worth mentioning!

You just watch your Grandson marry and have children, and watch the Xiao Clan Immortal Family flourish.

In the future, you will also become a patriarch and live freely between heaven and earth!”

Xiao Tianheng laughed upon hearing this, tears of old age streaming down his face.

“You child, hahahaha, I really don’t know who you inherited this personality from?”

“Hehe, of course, it’s from you, the source!”

“Alas… Qingyuan!”

“Your Grandson is here!”

Xiao Tianheng spoke slowly in a faint tone, “Originally, I intended to take this secret to my grave, but I didn’t expect to cause trouble for my Grandson in my old age. Do you want to hear about the affairs of our Xiao Family?”

“Our Xiao Family? Of course I want to!”

Xiao Qingyuan felt the numerous ailments in his Grandfather’s body, and his expression also became somewhat solemn.

He had never expected his Grandfather’s body to be so depleted.

The key was an old injury on his forehead.

The person who inflicted it was extremely vicious, clearly aiming for his life.

Fortunately, the power of the ten thousand year spiritual milk was strong enough.

It could give Xiao Tianheng an additional thirty years of Lifespan, and his injuries were also rapidly recovering.

The injury on his head was also slowly healing.

Once Xiao Tianheng’s injuries were healed,

Foundation Establishment wouldn't be impossible to plan for.

He could feel Xiao Tianheng’s emotions, which was a deep sense of shame.

“When I was your age, I also came from a large immortal clan, but that changed later.

Because I was ambushed and driven out, I wandered around and finally settled in Qingxuan Town, which was very small at that time.

My only wish as your Grandfather was to start anew and develop the Xiao Clan Immortal Family to be even stronger than that place.

And more united.

This was all because of my obsession; I wanted to prove them wrong.

But after so many years, as death approached, Grandfather’s ambition also faded.

I just didn’t expect to encounter a day where things would turn around…”

Feeling the changes in his body, Xiao Tianheng’s voice became a little more powerful.

Xiao Qingyuan smiled and comforted him, “It’s alright. Three hundred years east of the river, three hundred years west of the river; don’t look down on the old and poor. There are countless Opportunities in the Cultivation world. Many people only embark on the path of Cultivation in their old age and eventually become patriarchs. Grandfather’s life has just begun!”

“Hahahaha, you little rascal!” Xiao Tianheng was amused and laughed heartily, as if his vitality and spirit were rapidly returning with the recovery of his injuries.

“Strictly speaking, our Xiao Clan Immortal Family takes the surname of your great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother’s family is also a major clan overseas!”

“Overseas?”

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned. He had never heard of a large sea around the Wei Kingdom.

The only border was the Endless Mountain Range to the east.

It contained countless dangers, with great demons lurking and perilous areas everywhere.

To pass through there, one would probably need to be at least at the Golden Core Realm, right?

Xiao Tianheng nodded upon hearing this, “That’s too far away. Beyond the mountain range, and further east, is another territory. The Wei Kingdom here is just a small pond!

And the place where Grandfather came from is called the Su Family, a hegemon on an island.

There are over a million mortal clansmen and tens of thousands of Cultivators!”

“Hiss…” Xiao Qingyuan gasped upon hearing this, “That powerful?”

Xiao Tianheng chuckled, “And that’s not all! There are countless Opportunities there, and many islands much larger than the Wei Kingdom.

The demon cores and essence blood of Golden Core sea beasts are the best Foundation Establishment resources.

So, Foundation Establishment overseas is not a very difficult thing at all.

Thus, the Su Family has many Foundation Establishment Cultivators and many Golden Core Cultivators.

Grandfather’s four Spiritual Root talent is not considered impressive there!”

At this point, Xiao Tianheng’s words abruptly stopped, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of foul blood.

His complexion quickly became rosy, and even the wrinkles on his face became much shallower.

Xiao Tianheng’s bones also crackled.

Xiao Qingyuan was not alarmed but rather pleased; this was the medicinal effect taking hold.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Then Grandfather, since that’s the case, do you know what Heavenly Foundation Establishment is?”
