Yang Chang’an quickly tidied himself up, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and then followed Yang Wushuang out, heading toward the Niu family’s residence.
The Niu family and the Yang family lived close to each other, both in this same district of Spirit City.
The grandfather and grandson pair walked at an unhurried pace, and before long they arrived at the Niu family’s gate.
Yang Wushuang stepped forward and gently knocked.
Very soon, the gate creaked open.
The one who opened it was a sturdy man with a simple, honest face—Niu Ying, Niu Yue’s son and Niu Wenchuan’s father.
The moment he saw Yang Wushuang, his eyes lit up immediately.
A broad smile spread across his face as he quickly stepped aside to welcome them in.
“Oh!
Uncle Yang!
It’s you!
Come in, come in quickly!” Yang Wushuang nodded and led Yang Chang’an into the Niu residence.
After everyone entered, Niu Ying gently closed the gate and bolted it.
Yang Chang’an was very polite.
He grinned at Niu Ying and respectfully greeted him: “Chang’an greets Uncle Ying.” Looking at the boy in front of him, Niu Ying grew more and more fond of him.
He reached out and ruffled Yang Chang’an’s hair, laughing so hard his smile wouldn’t close.
“Our Chang’an is really getting more and more promising!
I heard a few days ago that you’ve already broken through to Spirit Master.
At such a young age, you’re already this impressive—you’re definitely Titled Douluo material in the future!” Yang Chang’an felt a little embarrassed from the praise and only smiled modestly.
“You flatter me, Uncle Ying.
I just got lucky and broke through by chance.” While they were talking, Niu Yue, who had heard the commotion inside, quickly walked over with Niu Wenchuan.
The moment Niu Wenchuan saw Yang Chang’an, his round face lit up with excitement.
He ran over with heavy thuds and threw his arm around Yang Chang’an, laughing loudly: “Good for you, Yang Chang’an!
Tou actually became a Spirit Master without saying a word, and didn’t even wait for your brother?
That’s not very loyal of you!” Of course, this was just a joke.
In his heart, he knew very well that Yang Chang’an had innate Spirit Power at Level 9, far higher than his own, so his cultivation speed was naturally faster.
There was no way he could deliberately suppress his level just to wait for him.
Yang Chang’an patted his arm and smiled back.
“Aren’t you about to catch up to me anyway?
And you still have the nerve to say that?” Niu Wenchuan’s innate Spirit Power was seven and a half ranks.
Among the entire Spirit City, his talent was considered top-tier.
Over the past three months, he had never stopped cultivating, and he was now very close to breaking through the threshold of Level 10 Spirit Scholar.
Sure enough, as soon as this was mentioned, Niu Wenchuan immediately became proud.
He put his hands on his hips, lifted his chin almost to the sky, and said excitedly: “That’s right!
I’m telling you, in at most another month, I’ll definitely break through Level 10.
Then I’ll officially be a Spirit Master too!” “Then I’ll congratulate you in advance!” Yang Chang’an immediately smiled and offered his blessing.
No matter what, he made sure to provide emotional value—keeping his brother happy was the most important thing.
Seeing the two kids hyping each other up, Niu Yue couldn’t help but interrupt with a helpless tone: “Alright, alright.
If you’re going to praise each other, go somewhere else and do it slowly.
Don’t block the doorway.” Everyone laughed and walked inside.
Soon they arrived at the Niu family’s guest room.
Niu Ying poured tea for everyone and closed the door, and the room finally became quiet.
Niu Yue had a straightforward personality and didn’t bother with pleasantries.
He directly looked at Yang Wushuang and asked curiously: “Brother, why did you suddenly come today?
Just say it directly—there’s no need to be formal between us.” Yang Wushuang smiled and didn’t waste words.
He flipped his wrist and took out a small milky-white jade bottle containing Body Tempering Pills from his storage soul tool, gently placing it in front of Niu Yue.
Niu Yue raised a brow, picked up the jade bottle, weighed it in his hand, and shook it slightly.
Inside, several round objects clinked softly against each other.
Confusion filled his eyes as he looked at Yang Wushuang.
“What is this?” Yang Wushuang said calmly, directly stating three words: “Body Tempering Pill.” “What?!” Niu Yue’s eyes widened sharply.
He shot straight up from his chair so suddenly that the chair behind him toppled over with a loud crash.
He stared dead at the small jade bottle, his voice dropping slightly in disbelief: “You… you actually managed to make this thing?!” At that time, when Yang Wushuang said he wanted to purchase a large amount of whale rubber to research and refine a pill that could enhance strength and temper the body, Niu Yue thought he had simply been stifled for too long over the years and was looking for something to pass the time.
Back then, he never expected it to actually succeed.
Out of brotherly loyalty, however, he fully supported the idea and ordered his subordinates to purchase a large batch of whale rubber and send it over.
After all, that material could also be used by their Niu family, so it wouldn’t go to waste at all.
But he never imagined that Yang Wushuang was truly capable—he actually succeeded in refining the pill!
Seeing his shocked expression, Yang Wushuang nodded heavily.
“That’s right, it’s the Body Tempering Pill.
Chang’an and I have already tested its effects.
This pill works on Spirit Masters below Level 30, and especially for Spirit Scholars and Spirit Masters below Level 20, the effects are the most obvious.” Upon hearing this, Niu Yue slapped his thigh in excitement, utterly thrilled.
He knew very well that this thing was practically a timely gift for both the Niu and Yang families!
He didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately said excitedly, “Go!
Let’s talk inside!” Everyone followed behind Niu Yue, passing through several small doors.
They opened a heavy stone door and entered a secret chamber.
The stone door slowly closed behind them, completely isolating all outside sound.
As soon as they entered the chamber, Niu Yue couldn’t wait any longer.
He opened the jade bottle and poured out a Body Tempering Pill.
Without even a second glance, he grabbed Niu Wenchuan, who was still confused, and stuffed the pill straight into his mouth without explanation.
“Grandpa, what is this—” Before Niu Wenchuan could finish speaking, the pill had already slid down his throat.
“Stop talking!” Niu Yue said sternly.
“Sit down immediately, focus your mind, circulate your Spirit Power, and refine the medicinal energy!” Although Niu Wenchuan didn’t know exactly how powerful the Body Tempering Pill was, seeing how serious his father and Grandpa Yang were, he understood that it must be something extraordinary.
He didn’t dare be careless at all.
He immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes obediently, and began guiding the suddenly surging heat within his body according to his usual cultivation method.
Before long, dense beads of sweat began to form on his body, his breathing grew heavier, and the aura of his Spirit Power started rising at a visibly rapid pace.
Everyone else held their breath and watched quietly.
Yang Chang’an observed clearly that Niu Wenchuan’s Spirit Power, which had originally been stuck at the peak of Level 9, broke through like a dam bursting under the impact of the medicinal energy and surged upward!
Not long after, his aura suddenly stabilized as he broke through directly to Level 10.
Now, with just one suitable Spirit Ring, he would immediately become a true Spirit Master!
Watching this, Yang Chang’an felt a bit envious.
But he also understood—it was normal.
Niu Wenchuan had already been stuck at Level 9 for quite some time, and with the Body Tempering Pill’s medicinal energy acting as a catalyst, breaking through Level 10 was only natural.
Seeing this scene with their own eyes, Niu Yue and Niu Ying couldn’t help but burst into laughter, their voices full of excitement.
Niu Yue slapped Yang Wushuang’s shoulder, his round face grinning widely.
“Incredible!
Truly incredible!
Wushuang, you really are something!
To think you could actually create something like this—amazing!” Yang Wushuang waved his hand modestly.
“Not at all, not at all.
I just got lucky, and Chang’an also gave me some inspiration.
It was only by chance that I succeeded.” After laughing for a while, Yang Wushuang’s expression turned slightly serious.
He looked at Niu Yue and Niu Ying and asked solemnly, “By the way, I have something to ask you.
Wenchuan is about to absorb his first Spirit Ring—have you prepared a suitable one?” Upon hearing this, Niu Ying quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied, “Don’t worry, Uncle.
It’s already prepared!
Not long ago, a 380-year-old Rock Armored Rhinoceros appeared in the Spirit City beast market.
It matches Wenchuan’s defensive Martial Soul perfectly.” “Four days ago, I personally led people to buy it.
It is now being kept in captivity in our Niu family’s backyard and can be used for absorbing a Spirit Ring at any time.” After hearing this, Yang Wushuang finally nodded slowly, the weight in his heart easing slightly.
Finding a Spirit Beast with both suitable attributes and appropriate age within Spirit City was indeed not easy.
Thinking of this, he looked at Niu Yue and Niu Ying again and instructed them in a very serious tone: “After Wenchuan wakes up, wait half a month before letting him absorb the Spirit Ring.” Niu Yue and Niu Ying immediately understood his concern and nodded solemnly.
“We understand!”
