Chapter 34
“Mother, let me introduce you. This is the head of the ninth-grade family, the Chen family. This is the First Elder,” Chen Xuan said as he held his mother’s hand.
When Chen Xuan’s mother saw the two of them, she understood what was going on. Chen Xuan had sold himself out to treat her illness.
“Greetings, Family Head Chen. Greetings, First Elder Chen.” Chen Xuan’s mother wanted to stand up and bow, but she could not.
“There’s no need for formalities. From now on, you’re also a member of my Chen family. Don’t worry, my Chen family will definitely cure your illness.”
Chen Yang immediately took out a handful of Great Qian Gold and handed it to Chen Xuan. “Go and find a good doctor for your mother.”
Due to Alchemist Pei Hao’s auction, the entire Donglin Town was extremely safe. Otherwise, Chen Yang would not have been at ease letting Chen Xuan go out with so much money.
“Thank you, Family Head.”
Chen Xuan quickly left with the money.
Chen Xuan’s mother’s illness was not incurable. Otherwise, even if Chen Xuan wanted to raise money, his mother would not allow it.
About an hour later, the doctor came with Chen Xuan. After diagnosing Chen Xuan’s mother, he looked at Chen Yang.
“The old lady’s illness is a result of overwork. I’ll just prescribe two sets of medicine. But from now on, she won’t be able to do any heavy work.”
The physician could tell that Chen Yang was the most respected person on this trip, so he directly reported to Chen Yang about Chen Xuan’s mother.
“Thank you, Doctor.”
After taking the medicine, Chen Yang looked at Chen Xuan. “When your mother gets better, come find me in Maple City.”
“Don’t worry, Patriarch,” Chen Xuan said. “In three months, I will definitely go to Maple City to find you.”
Chen Yang had no time to wait for Chen Xuan. After settling his mother down, he quickly returned home with the Chen family.
In the meeting hall of the Chen family.
After traveling for half a day, everyone arrived at the Chen residence. Chen Yang did not waste any time and with Elder Chen Xuan, went to the meeting hall.
After dismissing the others, Chen Yang was the first to speak. “First Elder, how much do you know about Gongsun Lu?”
“Family Head, Gongsun Lu’s cultivation level is at the fifth level of the Genesis Realm. The martial arts he’s good at are also inherited from the Beastmaster Sect.”
“Fifth level of the Genesis Realm. That’s not easy…”
Chen Yang thought for a moment and then looked at Chen Xuan. “For now, we can only rely on numbers to win. How about this, First Elder, quickly find a demon beast with the bloodline of a demon general so that I can promote it to a demon general.”
“Improve the strength of my beast? Master, you can’t do that!”
When Chen Xuan heard this, he immediately rejected, “Family Head, you must need a lot of resources to increase the strength of your beasts. Why don’t you improve yourself?”
“I naturally know that I have to improve myself, but the situation is critical now. The resources needed to promote my beast to the mid-stage Demon General realm are insufficient.”
“We can only quickly find some demon beasts and upgrade them to demon generals so that we can win with numbers,” Chen Yang said.
Chen Yang’s words were true. The Dao Integration Bead had long informed Chen Yang of the energy needed to improve its power.
Advancing from the early-stage to the mid-stage Demon General realm required 1,000 energy points. Advancing from the mid-stage to the late-stage Demon General realm required 4,000 energy points.
From the late-stage to the Demon Venerable, it required 6,000 points of energy.
On the other hand, directly upgrading to a Demon Venerable required less energy, but it still required 10,000 energy.
Chen Yang probably wouldn’t be able to exchange for so much energy even if he used himself. For now, he could only win by quantity.
“But Family Head, you can refine that demon beast into your own beast. Anyway, there’s still a year before Gongsun Lu returns.”
“In this year, Family Head, you’ll have long broken through to the Genesis Realm. At that time, won’t you have two more natal beasts to refine?” Chen Xuan still refused.
“I’ve already considered these two spots. However, even if the two of us are at the first level of the Genesis Realm and have three early-stage demon generals, it’s still not enough.
At the very least, we need another demon general to stabilize the situation.”
“And that’s if it’s planned. If it’s not, even six won’t do. In a crisis like this, only a natal beast can be trusted.”
“So, First Elder, do you understand what I mean?” Chen Yang looked straight into Chen Xuan’s eyes.
When Chen Xuan saw this, he could only nod. “Alright, special circumstances call for special treatment. However, Family Head, you can’t use it to increase the strength of your clansmen’s beasts in the future.”
“If one more person knows about this, the risk of it being leaked will increase.
“Moreover, raising the bloodline of demon beasts is already shocking enough. If you can increase the strength of demon beasts, I’m afraid there won’t be room for you in the world.”
Chen Yang would definitely listen to Chen Xuan’s words. “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Chen Yang also had his own judgment. Even if he used the Dao Integration Bead to increase the strength of the family, he could only hand it over to the demon beasts with powerful bloodlines.
As for increasing the strength of demon beasts, he could not use it unless he had no other choice.
“Alright, I’ll enter seclusion to break through to the Genesis Realm first. First Elder, hurry up and find the demon beasts with the Demon General bloodline. Don’t be stingy with spirit stones.”
Then, Chen Yang left the meeting hall and returned to his courtyard.
Within the Chen family’s territory, the Dao Integration Bead could automatically absorb energy without Chen Yang’s control.
This left Chen Yang with a lot of time to focus on breaking through to the Genesis Realm.
Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
After a month of recuperation, Chen Yang’s current state had already reached its peak. Then, Chen Yang took out the Meridian Unlocking Pill and swallowed it before officially starting to break through.
Breaking through to the Genesis Realm was not such a simple matter. It required a martial artist to condense the spiritual energy in their dantian and continuously wash away the obstruction in their meridians.
Only when all the obstructions in a meridian were cleared could one transform Qi into liquid and officially reach the Genesis Realm.
Even with the help of the Meridian Unlocking Pill, Chen Yang needed ten days to clear all the blockages in the first meridian and reach the Genesis realm.
“Whoosh!”
He took a deep breath and gathered the surrounding spiritual energy into his body.
Then, Chen Yang punched out. Immediately, spiritual energy whistled out, and the huge rock in front of him shattered.
The sign of a Genesis Realm martial artist!
“I didn’t expect the Genesis Realm to be so powerful. My days of seclusion were not in vain.”
“Moreover, after I broke through to the Genesis Realm, the speed at which I accumulate energy has increased further. Now, there are 61 points of energy in the Dao Integration Bead. In another two months, I can accumulate 100 points of energy.”
“At that time, I’ll upgrade the Blazing Eagle to a Demon General. At that time, I can accumulate five points of energy in seven days.”
“After I complete the first stage of the inheritance, I can probably obtain another demon beast. In 140 days, I can produce another demon general.”
“At that time, in another hundred days, I will be able to upgrade the First Elder’s beast to a Demon General. At that time, even if Gongsun Lu comes, I won’t be afraid!”
Thinking of the strength of his future family, Chen Yang was no longer afraid of Gongsun Lu, whom he had never met.
After all, Beast Tamers were all focused on their beasts. If Gongsun Lu’s natal beast had died, the threat would be greatly reduced.
As for ordinary beasts, it did not matter. It was impossible for Gongsun Lu to nurture ordinary beasts to the Demon General level.
