Chapter 1389: Cultivating Disciple Huang Yan, Two Sons Ask Their Father

"Master, this is a good thing the disciple has brought you, and it even contains two spirit veins," Huang Yan said with a flattering smile.

That look was exactly like a lackey.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang both turned away, refusing to look at his demeanor; it was simply too shameful.

Huang Yan felt no problem at all; a disciple's respect for the master is certain, inevitable.

Qinglong Daoren's eyes brightened, he inspected and said, "Very good, Yan'er, you did well; I am quite satisfied."

Much better than your two senior brothers; they both lack a father like me in their hearts, you're still better.

"Whatever you need, just tell me."

When dealing with this disciple, he must be generous; whatever the matter, this disciple thinks of himself, and as master, he cannot let the disciple suffer loss.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang, having been called out, forced a nervous smile, daring not to retort or speak.

Huang Yan smugly lifted his head; this time it was his turn to shine, aiming for exactly this effect—to make the master see that this disciple surpasses the two senior brothers, and to make the master notice the gap, so he'll treat him better in the future.

"I want nothing, as long as the master can be well," Huang Yan said, and the scene fell silent.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang's pupils narrowed as they exchanged a glance; they understood why Huang Yan had brought the two of them back—either for his own safety or for this moment, to make them both suffer a loss.

Invisible retaliation is the most lethal.

The two were speechless, never expecting that Huang Yan, the thick‑browed, big‑eyed junior brother, could be so scheming.

"Good, good, good, this is my good disciple; rest assured, the master will not let you suffer loss. You must be lacking elixirs, here are some for you," Qinglong Daoren, who could not be unaware of Huang Yan's ulterior motives, nonetheless did exactly that.

The two sons didn't care about him at all, so naturally they would be made to suffer a loss once.

Generously granting the disciple some elixirs, these had long been prepared, set aside for him; they were produced by Qinglong Daoren during this period, a large batch of Grade Five and Six Elixirs, with no Grade Seven, but these were sufficient.

The Grade Five and Six Elixirs are enough for the Huang Family's use and even overly high-level; there are also many Grade Three and Four Elixirs, all to be given to subordinates, then quickly consolidate a group of his own people.

This is also Huang Yan's foundation, and the reason he can stabilize the Huang Family; within a clan, whoever controls the resources becomes the head.

"These elixirs are for your cultivation; study them yourself, decide which elixirs to give, which to grant, handle it as you see fit."

"What else do you want?"

Qinglong Daoren grew more satisfied the longer he looked at the disciple.

He had previously thought Huang Yan pitiful, his fortune unusually tangled, which is why he took him as a disciple; he never expected this disciple to be so capable and so devoted, always thinking of himself when good things appear. This disciple's deep concern for the master meant he could not let the disciple's goodwill go to waste.

"I want nothing; these elixirs will last me many years," Huang Yan said as he put away the elixirs; he naturally knew their quantity, and this time the master truly gave too much, double what he expected.

The current number of the Huang Family is enough to use them for at least twenty years, perhaps longer.

Huang Yan was very satisfied; this batch of elixirs, the master must have refined for a long time, and he could not be too greedy.

"Very well, then I'll give you another drop of Qinglong Essence Blood," Qinglong Daoren squeezed out a drop of essence blood, directly merging it into Huang Yan's body.

"Master, there's no need for that," Huang Yan had no chance to refuse; the Qinglong Essence Blood merged into his body.

The next moment, his body turned bright red, and blood qi erupted.

"Quickly activate the Great Refining Life and Death Method to absorb the Qinglong Essence Blood within your body," Qinglong Daoren shouted, his voice shaking Huang Yan's spirit.

Huang Yan immediately began the method, but dared not be careless; the Qinglong Essence Blood's energy is extremely powerful and terrifying, the contained energy is frightening, and it also harbors a great deal of Qinglong will, which Huang Yan must suppress and overcome.

Watching this, Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang clicked their tongues, "Tsk tsk, father is really kind to this disciple."

"Indeed, big brother, he's better to us than to you; those who don't know would think Junior Brother Huang Yan is his son."

Chen Qinglian also made sarcastic remarks nearby, just to provoke Qinglong Daoren.

Qinglong Daoren stabilized the Qinglong Essence Blood, leaving the rest for Huang Yan to swallow on his own.

He released his hand, then glared at the two, saying irritably, "Are you two still short of good things? Even this bit of vinegar you consume."

He waved his hand, and a batch of elixirs flew toward the two, who immediately smiled and tucked them away.

"Thank you, father."

"Father, you're the best."

Qinglong Daoren waved his hand: "Enough, stop pretending; what are your thoughts this time?"

Chen Qinglian answered immediately, "No particular thoughts; there are too many strong ones outside, our strength is too weak, father was right back then."

Qi Haoyang agreed deeply: "Second brother is right; the outside is too dangerous. The Huang Family versus Bai Family war has brought forth Dao Realm strongmen; this is still a clan war, with Tian Du Men and Corpse Refining Sect being relatively restraining. Otherwise, this war could claim countless lives, and we two might also fall."

"We are too weak."

This time, the two had a more vivid feeling; had their special status not required them to enter the battlefield, perhaps...

Thinking of that, a wave of dread rose in their hearts.

"It's excellent that you think this way; it shows you truly understand the dangers beyond heaven. The example of Tianlian Zhenren is right before you; you must not underestimate Tianwai, Cangzhou, which is only the weakest of Tianwai's provinces; the strength of the other provinces is unimaginable."

"Proceed steadily, cultivate step by step, quietly amass strength, and do not underestimate yourselves; you are still young, with plenty of time."

"Yes, father," the two replied in unison.

Qinglong Daoren was very pleased; this trial had raised both of their strengths, advancing them two realms, and it seemed they hadn't gone out in vain.

Qi Haoyang glanced at Huang Yan, seeing he had fully entered cultivation, and whispered, "Father, have you also gone to the battlefield?"

Chen Qinglian wore an equally curious expression, awaiting Qinglong Daoren's reply.

Qinglong Daoren raised an eyebrow and said, "You sensed it?"

The two nodded in turn: "Yes, father, we all sensed it, though only for an instant; we all knew it was you, father."

Qi Haoyang said, "Guixin Elder was also dealt with by you, father, right?"

Apart from Qinglong Daoren, they could think of no one else.

Only he would act at that moment, directly striking down the most troublesome person.

Thus this war ended.
