Chapter 200: Chapter 198 Humility

Yi Mu, facing Yan Rufeng who seemed unbothered, suddenly glared at her and questioned: "Young Master Yan, why did my father become like this after talking to you? What exactly did you do to him?"

Yan Rufeng replied, "Mumu, I merely gave him a Cultivation Technique!"

Yi Mu angrily said, "What exactly did you have my father cultivate? Why has his cultivation regressed to the first layer of the domineering body?"

"It’s not a regression, it’s an advancement!" Yan Rufeng was speechless.

"Hmph!"

Yi Mu coldly snorted, "Stop deceiving me. My father doesn’t have a Spirit Root and cannot cultivate. He had already reached the Martial Artist Peak, how could his cultivation improve? It’s clearly a regression."

"Then let me ask you, if Uncle Yi’s cultivation had regressed, would he be so excited?"

Yi Mu’s heart sank, and she fell silent, thinking: "Young Master Yan is right, but how can someone without a Spirit Root improve their cultivation once it reaches its peak..."

However, Yi Mu sternly said, "I don’t care, if anything happens to my father, I will never let you off easily!"

"Hmph!"

Yi Mu coldly snorted again, turned around, and headed towards the Yi Family’s inner courtyard.

"Heh..."

Yan Rufeng sneered, "Want to see me suffer? Someone might end up thanking me instead!"

When Yi Mu arrived at the inner courtyard, she couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her.

Yi Zhantian respectfully stood before an old man, bowed, and said, "Father, I have broken through."

"Tian’er, what did you say?"

The one questioning was Yi Zhantian’s father, Yi Hong, who couldn’t hide the disbelief on his face.

"Father, I have finally broken through the barrier of Martial Arts!"

Yi Hong asked in confusion, "Tian’er, everyone knows that one cannot break through the barrier of Martial Arts without a Spirit Root. I also do not have a Spirit Root, but I refuse to accept fate and continuously think about breaking through one day. Yet, after so many years, I haven’t found a way. How did you do it?"

Yi Zhantian took out the Cultivation Technique given to him by Yan Rufeng.

"Father, I cultivated according to this technique for just a quarter of an hour, and my cultivation broke through to the first layer of the domineering body!"

"Tian’er, what kind of technique is this that is so incredible?"

"The Qiankun Dominating Body Technique!"

Yi Hong stepped forward, saying, "Tian’er, let me take a look..."

Yi Hong was engrossed as he read it, and after finishing the first section, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate according to the technique.

Fifteen minutes later, a wisp of white smoke rose from Yi Hong’s head, and suddenly, a streak of Protective Gang Qi shot out from his body.

"Ha ha..."

Yi Zhantian’s father burst into laughter.

"I’ve succeeded! I, Yi Hong, have successfully broken through!"

"Ha ha..."

Yi Mu was dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene and thought: "Someone without a Spirit Root can really cultivate. Who exactly is Young Master Yan, and how does he possess such an incredible technique?"

Numerous questions arose in Yi Mu’s mind.

"Ha ha..."

The sound of Yi Hong’s laughter reverberated.

Yi Zhantian bowed, "Congratulations, Father, on breaking through the barrier of Martial Arts."

Yi Hong stroked his beard and said kindly, "Tian’er, this technique is exquisitely profound. How did you come across it?"

Yi Zhantian replied, "Father, how could I have the capability to create such a Divine-level technique?"

Yi Hong asked, "Tian’er, then where did you obtain this technique?"

"Father, it was given to me by a young man from Huaxia," Yi Zhantian answered.

Yi Hong mused, "A young man from Huaxia. Where is he now? I wish to meet him."

Upon hearing this, Yi Mu ran over and laughed, "Grandpa, that young man from Huaxia is in the front courtyard!"

Yi Hong turned his gaze to Yi Mu and asked, "Are you Mumu?"

"Mm!"

Yi Mu nodded and smiled, "Grandpa, it’s me, Mumu."

"Hehe!"

Yi Hong laughed, "Mumu, I remember seeing you once at your full moon banquet. I didn’t expect you to have grown so much!"

"Hehe!"

"Grandpa, you’ve been in seclusion all this time, so of course it feels like time flew by!"

"Ha ha!"

Yi Zhantian laughed, "Mumu, now take your grandpa to meet Yan Rufeng..."

In the outer courtyard of the Yi Family, in a pavilion by the pond, Yan Rufeng was sipping tea when a sound of tinkling laughter reached him.

"Young Master Yan, my grandpa wants to see you!"

Yan Rufeng turned around and saw not only Yi Zhantian but also a white-haired elder behind Yi Mu.

Seeing this, Yan Rufeng thought, "That elder must be Mumu’s grandpa."

Just as Yan Rufeng was about to stand and pay his respects, he saw Yi Hong bow and say, "This old man pays respects to Young Master Yan!"

Yan Rufeng hastily said, "Uncle Yi, it should be me who pays respects to you!"

Yi Hong felt a bit bewildered and thought, "This young man possesses an extraordinary aura and a regal presence. Given that he comes from Huaxia, his family must hold a significant position there. But why is he acting this way?"

Unable to comprehend, Yi Hong, filled with doubt, bowed and said, "Grateful for Young Master Yan’s generous bestowal of a Divine-level technique to the Yi Family. Please accept my bow."

Yi Hong was about to kneel when Yan Rufeng quickly restrained him.

"Uncle Yi, you overpraise me. I, Yan Rufeng, do not deserve such respect."

The more humble Yan Rufeng appeared, the more confused Yi Hong became, thinking, "This technique is so incredible that if word got out, it would cause deadly conflicts, and the major Cultivation Sects would fight for it relentlessly. Yet, he casually gifted this technique to the Yi Family and remains so humble. What is his true intention behind all this..."

After sitting down, Yi Hong took a sip of tea and said, "Young Master Yan, on my way here, I learned from Mumu that you have assisted the Yi Family greatly recently. I have decided to give you half of the Yi Family’s assets."

Yan Rufeng hurriedly said, "Uncle Yi, it was a minor effort, not worth mentioning. As for your proposal to give me half of the Yi Family’s assets, that is absolutely unacceptable."

Yi Hong thought, "I didn’t expect him to be so selfless. Then why is he doing this..."

Yi Hong suddenly remembered Mumu mentioning that Yan Rufeng had been looked after for over a month, thinking, "Could it be that this young man is interested in my Mumu? Yes, it must be. Otherwise, with his cultivation and family background, why would he treat the Yi Family so well..."

With this thought, Yi Hong smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Yan, with the technique you gifted us, the Yi Family will soon be able to rival the Dragon Abyss Sect. In the future, if you need anything, do not hesitate to ask. I, Yi Hong, will do everything in my power to assist."

Yan Rufeng said, "Uncle Yi, as a matter of fact, I do have something I need your help with!"

Yi Hong cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Yan, please speak!"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Yi, the Dragon Abyss Sect will be sending people tomorrow to select Outer Disciples. Before Mumu leaves for the Dragon Abyss Sect, I hope to see all the Martial Artist Peak members of the Yi Family reach the first layer of the domineering body..."
