Chapter 686 - The Secret Method of Raising Cultivation
Chu Xuanli told him what Chu Xuanyue and Qin Haodong’s thoughts were, from beginning to end and then said, “My sister and nephew do not want to come back to our Chu family for the time being.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xiuying shouted, “Since our Chu family invited her, how could they refuse us? They really don’t know what’s good for them.”
“A mother who did not abide by the rules and brought up a bastard in a small town. It’s fine if they don’t want to come back. Otherwise, I will have no appetite when I see them.”
“That’s right. Our Chu family sent people to invite them back. How glorious is that? How dare they put on airs? They really don’t know what’s good for them...”
“That’s right. No matter who they are, we can’t treat them too well. Otherwise, they do not know their limits...”
“Our Chu family is a first-class aristocratic family in the capital. We feel pity for them, that is why we agreed to let them come back to our family, but they dare to refuse. Don’t they know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”
When they heard that Chu Xuanyue and Qin Haodong refused to come back, the other members of the Chu family were suddenly filled with indignation. They began to talk about it and expressed their dissatisfaction openly.
These people were backed by the Chu family and had always been proud and arrogant. They always had a superior mentality. In their opinion, it was very magnanimous of them to let Chu Xuanyue and the others come back. If they refused, they really did not know what was good for them.
They did not realize that it was the Chu family who took a fancy to Qin Haodong’s strength and had asked him to come back.
Chu Xuanming did not say anything. Although he vaguely felt that Qin Haodong’s return would bring great benefits to the Chu family, he had bullied Chu Xuanyue by relying on Jin Xiuying’s love, since he was a child. Their relationship was not harmonious. If Chu Xuanyue and her son came back to the Chu family, it might not be a good thing for him.
So he did not make any comments about the return of Chu Xuanyue and her son, instead he pretended that he did not hear it.
Chu Xuanli was sad. It seemed that it was right that his sister did not want to come back. The people of the Chu family really did not have any feelings of kinship. This gave him the urge to leave the Chu family.
Chu Shanhe shook his head secretly. None of his descendants were far-sighted. Until now, they still could not figure out how important Qin Haodong was to the Chu family and even the whole capital.
At this moment, Chu Shanchuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Chu Xuanli and his eyes lit up. He shouted, “Xuanli, come, let me have a look at you.”
As a supreme power of master of ninth level, the First Elder of Chu family, Chu Shanchuan’s status was so high that even Jin Xiuying did not dare to provoke him. As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately quietened down and turned their attention to him.
Chu Xuanli came up to Chu Shanchuan and asked, “Uncle, what can I do for you?”
Chu Shanchuan first looked at Chu Xuanli and then touched his pulse to feel the Genuine Qi in his body. His face suddenly changed. “Xuanli, I noticed that you were still at the sixth level of the Supreme Power Realm a few days ago. How did you reach the eighth level so quickly? How...How did you do that?”
At the late stage of the Supreme Power Realm, it was extremely difficult to take even a small step forward. Otherwise, Chu Xuanli would not have been stuck at the sixth level of the Supreme Power Realm for so many years.
The other members of the younger generation of the Chu family were in the same situation. They did not have any outstanding talents. Although their family was rich in resources, the one with the highest cultivation after them was only a sixth level supreme power master.
This included Chu Xuanming. Although he looked shrewd, his cultivation was the same as Chu Xuanli’s. He was only a level six supreme power master.
In this case, Chu Xuanli was able to improve so much all of a sudden, so the whole Chu family was shocked!
Another supreme power master of ninth level said with a surprised look on his face, “Big brother, did you get it wrong? Two levels? He can’t do it even if he takes the Immortal Elixir.”
“That’s impossible. How could I be wrong?” In order to prove that he was right, Chu Shanchuan said, “Xuanli, give me a punch with all your strength.”
Chu Xuanli thought about it. After all, this kind of thing could not be kept hidden. He followed Chu Shanchuan’s instructions and punched with all his might.
The full blow from a supreme power master of eighth level was like an earth-shattering force. The wind created by the punch raged through the surrounding air, with a sharp whistling sound and hit Chu Shanchuan’s head.
Seeing the power of his punch, the people around him were shocked. They did not expect that Chu Xuanli could throw such a powerful punch.
Although Chu Shanchuan was a level nine supreme power master, he still had a serious look on his face. He made a series of counter attacks with his hands to cushion the impact. Only in this way could Chu Xuanli’s punch be dispelled.
This was a clever technique. If they confronted each other head-on, he was afraid that the burst of Genuine Qi would destroy all the decorations in the hall.
At this time, everyone believed that Chu Xuanli was really a real supreme power master of eighth level.
Chu Shenhai was shocked and asked, “Xuanli, what the hell is going on with you? Have you been hiding your cultivation before?”
Chu Xuanli said with a wry smile, “Second uncle, I only have a little cultivation, so what else can I hide? I was indeed a level six supreme power master before.”
The others did not doubt his words at all. For a son of a big aristocratic family like him, the progress of his cultivation represented his interests and status in the family. He was afraid that the others would not know about his improvement, so how could he hide his cultivation?
Chu Shanhe was originally worried about the Chu family’s decline, but when he saw that Chu Xuanli had suddenly improved so much, he asked in surprise, “Hurry up and tell everyone, what kind of secret method did you use to improve your cultivation progress at such a fast pace?”
As he spoke, his mind became active again. If Chu Xuanli really had a secret method to quickly improve his cultivation, it would not be a big deal even if he did not invite Qin Haodong back. The Chu family could still be powerful.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Chu Xuanli and their eyes were full of expectation.
Chu Xuanming’s eyes lit up as he said, “Brother, if you have any secret method, don’t keep it to yourself. We are all members of the Chu family. You should share it with us.”
Chu Xuanli spread out his hands and said with a bitter smile, “I don’t have any secret method. If I had, I would have disclosed it long ago.”
Chu Xuanming said anxiously, “It’s not right for you to do this. You and I were both level six supreme power masters before. If there was no secret method, how could you have improved so rapidly?
“I’ve been stuck in this realm for seven years and I have not been able to break through yet.”
Although the others did not speak, they all nodded secretly. They felt that Chu Xuanli must be hiding something. He had a secret method and was unwilling to share it with everyone.
Seeing these people’s eyes on him, Chu Xuanli knew what they were thinking. He knew that he could not hide it any longer. He said, “To tell you the truth, when I just left home, I was still a level six supreme power master, but Haodong helped me improve. Not only did I break through the bottleneck of the level six supreme power realm, but I also improved by one more level.”
“My current cultivation is at the eighth level of the supreme power realm, which was completely due to him!”
“What? It’s Qin Haodong’s doing. Is it true or not? It’s impossible. Is he an immortal?”
“It’s amazing to be able to turn a level six supreme power master into a level eight supreme power master in just one or two hours, isn’t it?”
“Oh my god, I did not expect Qin Haodong to have such an ability. He is my cousin. It seems that I have to get close to him and improve my cultivation...”
After Chu Xuanli finished speaking, the whole hall of the Chu family was in a turmoil. Some expressed surprise, some had doubts, some expressed jealousy and some began to make plans to try to get close to Qin Haodong.
Previously, they all opposed the return of Chu Xuanyue and her son to the Chu family, but at this time, there was a big turnaround. They all wanted to get closer to Qin Haodong.
Although they had heard that Qin Haodong was a level nine supreme power master before, it had nothing to do with them. They were even afraid that Qin Haodong would take away their current status.
But it was different this time. It was absolutely impossible to find a master who could improve another’s cultivation so quickly. Besides, he was their relative now. If they did not seize this opportunity to get closer to Qin Haodong, they would be fools.
Chu Shanhe asked, “Xuanli, are you sure you’re not lying?”
“How can I lie about this kind of thing? Besides, apart from Haodong’s skills, I have no other way to improve my cultivation.”
Chu Xuanli told them how Qin Haodong had given him three Spirit Culturing Pills and how he had helped him to improve his cultivation.
After that, there was a dead silence. Three pills could help to improve one’s cultivation by two levels. This method was really shocking, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a divine skill.
“Family master, I’ve checked. Qin Haodong is known as the Medical Sage in Jiangnan City. He does have superb medical skills. It’s no surprise that he can refine this kind of pill to improve cultivation.”
The one who spoke was Chu Mingdao, one of the third generation of the Chu family. He was in charge of intelligence and information.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on him, he said, “I did a detailed investigation. All of Qin Haodong’s men were previously soldiers who were injured and they could not even be regarded as warriors.”
“But later, they were healed and their cultivation continuously improved. Now their lowest level of cultivation is at the Supreme Power Realm. They relied on the elixirs that Qin Haodong constantly provided. It can be seen that this man’s medical skills are magical.”
“Great, it’s really great. I did not expect my cousin to have such excellent medical skills. If we invite him back to the family, we have no need to cultivate anymore. We can directly improve by taking his pills.”
“Aunt Xuanyue was originally a member of the Chu family. She is the direct descendant of our Chu family. It is only natural that we invite her back to the Chu family. I think we should invite Aunt Xuanyue back...”
“I think so too. Qin Haodong is our cousin. We should be close to him...”
All of a sudden, there was a change in everyone’s attitudes. They all expressed their own opinions to Chu Shanhe and asked that Qin Haodong and his mother be allowed to return to the Chu family.
These people did not care about family ties, but it was impossible for them not to care about their own interests. In their eyes, Qin Haodong was an endless treasure house. As long as they brought him to the Chu family, they would get great benefits.
Chu Xuanming said, “Father, I think so too. It has not been easy for my younger sister to take care of her child alone. Besides, she has been wandering outside for so many years. It’s time for her to live a stable life in our Chu family for the rest of her days.”
“And I think this matter can’t be delayed any longer. It’s time to invite them back to the Chu family immediately.”
The eyes of the two level nine supreme power masters shone brightly. Qin Haodong’s medical skills were so good that he might have a way to help them break through their current realm and reach the Saint Realm.
Both of them were over 80 years old. With their current cultivation, they could only live for at most another one or two decades. It would be different if they could break through the threshold of the Saint Realm. Not only would they enjoy the admiration of tens of thousands of people, but they could also prolong their lives for decades.
At this moment, an ear-piercing voice sounded. “I don’t agree. No matter how powerful Qin Haodong is, he is just an unruly bastard. How can he turn us down just now? We can’t let him enter the Chu family now.”
It was Jin Xiuying who spoke. She was not a warrior, so she did not know much about martial arts.

It was just that she did not have a good impression of this daughter who had eloped. At the same time, she hated Qin Haodong, who was a good-for-nothing in her eyes.
