He was surrounded by an intense wave of heat that forced any onlookers to keep their distance.
The Grand Elder stepped out of the stone house and although re half a day had passed, it felt like he had aged decades.
His body stood erect, a mighty mountain immovable and unyielding.
The strands of black hair at his temples had disappeared and his once weary face was now radiant and rosy.
He carried an aura of austerity and grandeur about him.
The powerful and overwhelming aura radiating from him was due to his recent breakthrough, which had left him unable to freely control his Combat Qi.
He seed to exude a scorching heat like molten magma, and even from a distance of more than ten feet, one could feel the heat waves hitting their face.
“Greetings, Chief!”
After he stepped out to the courtyard, Tie Wen, in a few flashes, appeared before Xiao Chen, bowing in respect.
Looking at the revived Grand Elder, Xiao Chen could not help but feel relieved.
Gently helping Tie Wen up, he spoke.
“Congratulations, Grand Elder, for your dramatic advancent and breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm!”
Just as he did, the tribe people nearby also ca forward to greet and congratulate the Grand Elder.
“Congratulations, Grand Elder, for your remarkable advancent and breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm!”
“If it had not been for your support, Chief, it would have been uncertain whether I could have broken through to the Blood Refining Realm in this lifeti.”
“The Grand Elder’s contribution to the Gu Yuan Tribe is imasurable, no need for such words!” With a wave of his hand, he stopped the Grand Elder from bowing again.
Then, Xiao Chen spoke once again.
“Everyone, do not be taken away with joy.
The primary task after just breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm is to consolidate one’s Cultivation.
This chief needs to check on the third elder’s residence now.”
The third elder, Xiao Tan, was the eldest among those who had received Xiao Chen’s elixirs.
Known to have a blood relation and as an elder of the sa tribe, he was fiercely loyal to Xiao Chen.
This explained why Xiao Chen had so enthusiastically provided him with elixir for his cultivation.
As Xiao Chen had expected, the current situation of Xiao Tan was not good.
Although the loyalty was more important to him than any aptitude, he needed loyal followers who would support his rule over the tribe.
His strides were quick and after a few flickers, Xiao Chen disappeared around the corner of the street.
In no ti, he had already appeared outside the stone house of the third elder, Xiao Tan.
Upon seeing the closed door, Xiao Chen had an ominous feeling.
Since the third elder had returned from the Stone Tower to the stone house, drove his family away, and swallowed the Channel-opening Pill without hesitation, an explosive power of the dicine burst forth, as a violent clap of thunder out of the blue.
The overpowering dicinal strength tore his flesh apart.
Despite all his effort to control the energy to flow to him, an overpowering dicine power, like a wild horse, roared and raged in his body.
His body was torn apart, leaving him feeling completely numbed.
At this mont, his body even seed to swell up a circle.
With the body of the third elder, he could not digest these dicinal powers.
He was like a flat boat in the vast sea, constantly swallowed by the towering waves.
At this mont, he even felt as if he was going to perish from his body bursting apart.
Without bothering to greet the third elder’s family, Xiao Chen rushed into the stone house in an instant.
He sensed Xiao Tan’s life force was rapidly weakening.
Upon entering the stone house, Xiao Chen saw the figure of the third elder, Xiao Tan.
He was in a terrible state, collapsed on the stone bed.
His body had transford greatly.
Xiao Chen could sense nurous streams of energy rampaging and swirling inside him.
Without wasting a mont, Xiao Chen imdiately started to suppress the tumultuous energy inside him.
Xiao Chen’s green combat Qi rushed like a dragon crossing a river, continuously entering the third elder’s body.
The rampaging dicinal strength that had been causing havoc bowed before this new force as if it was a fierce enemy.
It was gradually being herded together by this green stream of energy, from different corners of the elder’s body, into a large river.
“If not now, then when will you break through!”
Xiao Chen’s words echoed like a thunderous sound, gave Xiao Tan a feeling of being enlightened, causing his entire body to go numb for a while.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen didn’t retract his original green combat Qi but instead, integrated it into the dicinal strength, constantly guiding it to strike against the barriers in his ridians.
The third elder’s foundational strength was too weak.
Even though Xiao Chen was providing him unfaltering support now, the deficiency of his essential vitality in his early years wasn’t easy to make up for.
The journey of martial arts was fraught with dangers and didn’t allow even the slightest flaw.
Without having strong muscles and bones as a foundation, one wouldn’t be able to walk far on this path.
With Xiao Chen’s assistance, for the third elder, conditions for the ti of the breakthrough, which were initially fraught with crises, beca much simpler.
But Xiao Chen knew that without any miracles, the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm could be the end point of the third elder’s martial arts journey.
The path of martial arts doesn’t entertain even the slightest opportunism.
Bang!
The first ridian was finally pierced through.
Almost instanteously, these dicinal strength flooded into the ridians, gradually converting into combat Qi which continually nourished his body’s flesh and veins.
His originally aged face slowly freshened up.
After a while, the third elder, who initially had his eyes tightly shut, opened his eyes.
He saw Xiao Chen beside him, who seed like he was laughing and not laughing, and struggled to try and get off the stone bed.
Gently pressing his arm to stop the third elder from attempting to get up, Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Congratulations, third elder on breaking through to the Blood Refining Realm and attaining a lifespan of over a hundred!”
“It is all thanks to Chief’s generosity.
I was just being foolish.
If the Chief had not arrived in ti, I might have perished due to a cultivation mishap,” Xiao Tan responded with a bitter smile upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words.
Indeed, he had been overly eager for quick results.
Despite the thin foundation, he had beco lost in the desire to break through the Blood Refining Realm after receiving the Channel-opening Pill from Xiao Chen, hoping to increase his lifespan by several decades.
Much to his chagrin, he instead got a brush with death.
If Xiao Chen hadn’t intervened, he would have already perished due to his body bursting apart.
“Third elder, why do you say so?
The various affairs of our Gu Yuan Tribe can’t function without you.
Moreover, when it cos to matters of the tribe, there is nobody other than you whom this Chief trusts.
In the future, we will still need your support for nurous important matters within the tribe.”
“All this trust from the chief, I feel unworthy!”
Xiao Chen had a casual attitude towards the affairs of the tribe, sothing that Xiao Tan, as an elder, felt deeply.
However, as Xiao Tan saw it, this was not an issue.
As the most powerful in the tribe, Xiao Chen, the tribe leader, had more important matters to handle.
He needed to face all kinds of dangers from outside the tribe.
Only when Xiao Chen grew stronger, could the Gu Yuan Tribe be safer.
The children’s play within the tribe should not occupy too much of Xiao Chen’s cultivation ti.
