NOVPUB"Your scion ’Gu Xuan’ has learned Gu Family Boxing!"
"Your scion ’Gu Xiu’ has learned Gu Family Boxing!"
"Your scion ’Gu Xuan’ shows a slight understanding in his training of Gu Family Boxing!"
"Your scion ’Gu Xiu’ shows a slight understanding in his training of Gu Family Boxing!"
"Your scion..."
In the following period, Gu Qingfeng was all about monitoring the information panel.
Every few days, he would see the information panel refresh.
"I wonder how long will it take for Xuan’er and Xiu’er to step into the realm of Martial Arts."
Gu Qingfeng speculated.
From a young age, both had been soaking in medicine baths to hone their genetics, even if they were born with mediocre talent, after so many years of tempering, they could be considered on par with average prodigies.
Originally, Gu Yang took almost three months to step into the Initial Stage of the Refining Skin Realm.
Such talent could already be considered top-notch.
However, the difference was that.
Gu Yang didn’t have the luxury of medicine baths to hone from a young age. If he had received the same treatment as the two of them, becoming a top talent wouldn’t have been a problem.
Nonetheless.
Genetic potential is not absolute.
It is just that.
Those with better genetic potential find cultivation to be as if aided by divine assistance, whereas if one’s genetic potential is average, their cultivation would lag.
But in the end, the limit still depends on the individual.
Half a month later.
The information panel refreshed again.
"Your scion ’Gu Xuan’ has broken through to the Initial Stage of the Refining Skin Realm!"
"Reward points*1!"
"Your scion ’Gu Xiu’ has broken through to the Initial Stage of the Refining Skin Realm!"
"Reward points*1!"
"Indeed, it’s possible!"
The smile finally appeared on Gu Qingfeng’s face as the heavy stone in his heart dropped completely.
The breakthroughs of Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu were bringing him upgrade points, which meant his previous assumptions weren’t off the mark.
Additionally,
Gu Qingfeng finally confirmed something.
Anyone who could be recorded by the information panel, their breakthroughs would also bring him upgrade points. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
That means.
In the future, as long as there were enough descendants of the Gu Family bloodline, he could amass vast amounts of upgrade points.
At that time,
No matter the Masters or Great Grandmasters, they would all be easily broken with just a flick of a finger.
Even the Evil Buddha of the Nine Curves Road could be suppressed single-handedly.
But—
These were matters for later.
For now,
It was critical to increase the quantity of the Gu Family lineage.
Currently,
Gu Qingfeng was somewhat regretful, wondering why he hadn’t worked harder to father more children when his cultivation was lower. If he had produced ten or eight heirs, wouldn’t that have skyrocketed his power?
But there was no medicine for regret, and the present situation wasn’t too bad.
Gu Yang had already established a family and had offspring. Given a few more years, Gu Xuan and Gu Xiu would also be able to start families.
Thus,
The Gu Family lineage would naturally flourish.
The only issue, perhaps, was time.
With these thoughts set,
Gu Qingfeng looked at the information panel once more.
Now, both individuals had managed to step into the Martial Arts realm within half a month, showing talent worthy of being considered top prodigies. No, to be accurate, even among the top prodigies, they belonged to the truly outstanding ones.
In other sects and noble families, they would qualify to challenge for the title of Master.
"With such talent, this is no waste of the years spent in medicine baths honing their genetics. However, it may be coincidental for Yang’er, but for Xiu’er and Xuan’er to have such talent, it must be related to the Cultivation Realm of a martial artist!"
Gu Qingfeng speculated.
The higher a martial artist’s cultivation, the higher the talent of the offspring born to them.
Even though the probability isn’t one hundred percent, it is always significantly higher than that of ordinary people.
Likewise.
The offspring of the next generation possess high talent, but the probability of conceiving offspring is correspondingly reduced.
Overall,
it’s a mix of gains and losses.
——
Subsequently,
Gu Qingfeng would instruct Gu Xuan and another every few days on their cultivation, and their talents were indeed astounding.
After stepping into the Initial Stage of the Refining Skin Realm, it took them only a month to break through to the Mid-level Stage.
When the two broke through to the Mid-level Refining Skin Realm,
Gu Qingfeng once again received four upgrade points.
Unfortunately,
whether it was the last breakthrough or this one, the real reward was only the upgrade points, without any additional items.
From this, it could be seen
that as Gu Yang was the first offspring to be born, he had an innate advantage. Although the later-born offspring could also provide upgrade points, the rewards were significantly fewer.
Of course,
being able to get upgrade points, Gu Qingfeng was already satisfied.
After all,
upgrade points were the main thing.
The rest of the things were inconsequential.
...
"Your offspring ’Gu Xuan’ has gained insight into the Gu Family Boxing and has broken through to the Late Stage of the Refining Skin Realm!"
"Reward points*5!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Xiu’ has somewhat grasped the Gu Family Boxing, with a slight increase in strength!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has slain a Mid-level Blood Refining Martial Artist!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has been attacked by a Mid-level Bone Refining Martial Artist!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’ has been attacked by a Blood Refining Perfection Martial Artist*5!"
"Your offspring ’Gu Yang’—"
...
Initially practicing in peace within the Grinding Blade Hall, Gu Qingfeng’s face turned furious upon seeing the flood of notifications on the information panel, and a soaring Blade Intent burst forth from the hall, causing the many divine weapons to buzz silently.
In the next breath,
Gu Qingfeng stepped out of the Grinding Blade Hall.
Moments later,
Gu Peng arrived.
"Speak, where is the Young Master currently?"
Gu Qingfeng asked with a cold expression.
Sensing the suppressed anger emanating from Gu Qingfeng, Gu Peng did not understand why but dared not hesitate in the slightest, hastily bowing and speaking,
"Reporting to the manor master, there was a message yesterday that the rebel army was moving through White Stone Dao. Therefore, the Young Master led the Outer Hall disciples to deal with the rebel army!"
"Rebel army?"
Gu Qingfeng’s brows furrowed slightly.
Gu Peng spoke, "In the recent years, the Divine Martial King has conquered several prefectures, and the court has suffered great losses. Even within Guangyang Prefecture, there are many rebel armies lurking, with even more defeated soldiers turning to banditry, engaging in acts befitting a rebel army.
Even our White Stone Dao has been affected.
However, these matters have not disturbed the manor master, and the Young Master himself has been dealing with them!"
Hearing this,
Gu Qingfeng remained cold, but his mind was clear.
In two years,
the Divine Martial King’s power had grown more formidable.
Already a year ago,
the Divine Martial King had knocked on the doors of Liuyun Prefecture, and his troops marched straight in. The war had officially reached Taishan County, and as Guangyang Prefecture was a part of Taishan County, it was naturally unavoidable.
It was quite normal for defeated rebel troops to roam as bandits.
Instantly,
Gu Qingfeng asked, "Now tell me, where exactly is Yang’er?"
"Red Rock Village!"
...
The setting sun was like blood.
A village was engulfed in cries of slaughter, and the tranquility of the past had disappeared.
Within view, corpses of the common folk were everywhere—men and women, old and young. Some of the bodies were even disheveled, indicating they had suffered various indignities before death.
But upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the majority of the people had been gutted, their internal organs all harvested.
Meanwhile, in the village, more than a hundred rebel soldiers were battling with the people from Gu Family Manor.
