Chapter 13: Let Me Break Through First

"Chengliang, do not be rude! He is a guest now, and in the future, he will be your brother-in-law!"

Bai Zhi scolded.

Bai Chengliang was unconvinced and said, "Sister, I have listened to you since I was small, but I must properly vet the husband you have chosen."

Yang Yu patiently said, "I can tell that you truly care about Azhi, and I understand your feelings. But this pill really can make her recover as if nothing happened on the spot."

Bai Chengliang widened his eyes and said, "A-Azhi? What right do you have to call my sister that! Ahhh!!"

Bai Zhi: "I let him call me that."

Bai Chengliang said, "Sister, how long have you even known him? Don't be deceived by him. How could there be such a miraculous Dantian Pill in the world that allows for an instant recovery?"

Yang Yu was a bit speechless; this brother-in-law was a bit difficult to deal with...

"Chengliang, if you are rude again, do not blame your sister for disciplining you." Bai Zhi's expression was stern.

Bai Chengliang was very unwilling and said:

"Even so, he shouldn't be letting you eat random things, right? If something goes wrong, his life wouldn't be enough to compensate for a single hair of yours!"

Bai Zhi: "I trust him."

Bai Chengliang looked up and said, "It's over, sister, you're finished. If he fed you poison, you wouldn't even have a shred of suspicion."

"Enough, stop making a scene. It is impossible for Yang Yu to harm me."

Bai Zhi did not want to pay any more attention to her brother and took the Immortal Bean from Yang Yu's hand.

"Sister, you've gone mad. You're really going to eat something of unknown origin like this? No, I'm not at ease, I won't allow it!"

Bai Chengliang was shocked and stepped forward, wanting to knock the pill away.

But Bai Zhi had already swallowed it.

"Sister!"

Bai Chengliang became even more anxious.

This pill didn't look like a proper Dantian Pill at all; let alone healing injuries, it would be good if it didn't have side effects!

In a fit of anger, he prepared to make a move against Yang Yu.

But suddenly, waves of majestic profound Qi surged from all directions, gathering around Bai Zhi.

The profound Qi within Bai Zhi's body was circulating at a speed that defied logic.

Her originally slightly pale face also instantly regained its color.

"I... am better?"

Bai Zhi said in disbelief.

She was the Heaven-favored daughter of the Bai Family; from childhood to adulthood, she had never lacked any Healing Pill.

But no matter how good a Dantian Pill was, healing always required a process.

Yet this Immortal Bean of Yang Yu's truly healed her "instantly"—it required no time at all!

She hadn't even reacted before the discomfort in her body had vanished completely.

The internal injuries caused by Fu Qinghuan seemed as if they had never existed.

What was even more incredible was:

Her state had also reached its peak...

Could there really be such a miraculous Dantian Pill in the world?

No wonder it was called an "Immortal Bean"; this was simply not something a mortal could possess!

While Bai Zhi was still astonished, she discovered that the profound Qi in her dantian had become incomparably active...

Suddenly going from a serious injury to her peak, this sudden change actually caused her bottleneck to loosen.

"Chengliang, Yang Yu, help me as a Protector; I am going to break through my realm!"

Bai Zhi sat cross-legged on the spot, frantically breathing in profound Qi.

"Huh?"

Bai Chengliang was stunned.

His sister had just been deathly pale, so how was she suddenly fine, and on top of that, about to break through!

Could it really be the effect of that pill?

How could that be possible? How could there be such a miraculous Dantian Pill in the world?

Bai Chengliang looked at Yang Yu in disbelief, unable to say a single word.

A short while later.

The profound Qi around Bai Zhi's body completely calmed down.

Her realm had also successfully broken through by one layer.

Bai Chengliang said happily, "Sister, are you at the Sixth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm now?"

Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to Yang Yu's Immortal Bean. It not only let me recover as if nothing happened, but it also helped me break through my bottleneck."

Bai Chengliang laughed dryly and said, "Sister, you aren't joking, are you? Was it really the effect of that lousy pill? It must be that you yourself are amazing."

Bai Zhi scolded, "Do you think I don't know whether it was the effect of the Immortal Bean? Bai Chengliang, you have really gone too far today! Hurry up and apologize to Yang Yu!"

"But..." Bai Chengliang was not very willing.

Bai Zhi's expression was solemn as she said, "If the Immortal Bean has such an effect, its value would be immeasurable if placed on the market. Yang Yu gave me such a treasure without hesitation; do you still doubt his sincerity toward me?"

"I..." Bai Chengliang lowered his head, but eventually faced Yang Yu and bowed deeply, saying, "Yang Yu, it was my presumption. For your willingness to sacrifice so much for my sister, I apologize to you."

"Forget it."

Yang Yu waved his hand, not holding it against the other party.

He could tell that the bond between the siblings was very good.

Although this kid was a bit impolite, it was mainly because he cared about Bai Zhi.

"Alright, alright, it's just a small misunderstanding; don't go making a scene again in the future," Bai Zhi continued.

Bai Chengliang, however, shifted the topic and said:

"Sister, one thing is one thing; I should apologize for what just happened. But the gap in strength between him and you is too large, and I still don't want to acknowledge this brother-in-law..."

"Suit yourself. Whether you acknowledge him or not is unimportant, and Yang Yu likely doesn't care either," Bai Zhi said indifferently.

Bai Chengliang grew anxious again and said, "Sister, how can you be like this! The man you chose, I must vet him for you!"

Following this, he charged at Yang Yu and said: "Yang Yu, a real man only speaks with strength. If you can beat me, I will acknowledge you as my brother-in-law!"

Bai Zhi said crossly: "Yang Yu is only at Opening Meridians Nine Layers, and you are already at Hua Xuan Realm Third Layer; how can you have the nerve to challenge him?"

"I don't care, his weakness is his own business. Yang Yu, do you dare?"

Bai Chengliang said aggressively.

Yang Yu said with a smile: "Are you serious? If you lose, you will have absolutely no face left here in the Bai Family."

Bai Chengliang burst into laughter and said:

"Hahaha, I've already inquired about it. The guards outside saw you make a move; although you are at Opening Meridians Nine Layers, unfortunately, your moves lack structure and rely entirely on brute force. You don't actually think you can win against me, do you?"

Bai Zhi said: "Yang Yu, don't pay him any mind, he has the temperament of a child."

Yang Yu said with a smile: "It's fine. Since I am with you, I cannot lack the support of my brother-in-law."

Bai Chengliang snorted lightly and said: "What are you two acting so mature for? I am seventeen; I am not a child! Yang Yu, you are only three years older than me!"

"I accept your challenge. However, you will have to wait for me a moment; I am going to go make a breakthrough first," Yang Yu replied.

Bai Chengliang rolled his eyes and said:

"Wait for you to make a breakthrough? You are truly shameless. I've seen people stall for time, but never like this! If you take three or five years to break through, am I supposed to just keep waiting?"

Yang Yu smiled faintly: "A quarter of an hour is enough."

"Your mouth—you can talk more nonsense than a storyteller!"

Bai Chengliang was so angry he laughed.

Breaking through from Opening Meridians Nine Layers leads to Hua Xuan Realm First Layer.

These are two major realms.

The difficulty of breaking through is extremely high; it not only requires long-term accumulation but also the right opportunity.

This Yang Yu actually dared to spout such nonsense, saying he could break through in a quarter of an hour.

One wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!

"If you don't have the guts, just say so; why spout such gibberish!" Bai Chengliang added.

Yang Yu didn't mind and said: "In any case, a quarter of an hour—do you dare to wait?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? I want to see what you could possibly rely on to break through in just a quarter of an hour!" Bai Chengliang crossed his arms over his chest.

Yang Yu said no more; he leaped up and arrived at the large tree in the courtyard.

With his current cultivation, he would definitely be the one getting abused if they fought, as there was a full major realm gap between them.

The reason he dared to accept the challenge was because, while he was Scanning the courtyard just now, he discovered a very good entry on the tree...
