Chapter 348 (2/2)

The man sitting in the secret chamber turned out to be the Sect Master of Profound Sky Sect, Jiang Chenzi.

Jiang Chenzi gave him a glance, “How do you feel after eating the Hardened Body Pill I gave you?”

Du Qiying’s eyes flashed brilliantly, “This Hardened Body Pill is really worthy of its reputation. It’s an excellent thing. After eating it, I advanced directly to Hardened Body Stage, and there was nothing hindering the process.”

Although Du Qiying was disguised as a Hardened Body Stage cultivator on the outside, in reality, his cultivation had always remained in Foundation Stage third layer and hadn’t had any inclinations of a breakthrough for a long time. If not for this, he wouldn’t be so eager to find the Hardened Body Pill to look for a breakthrough.

Jiang Chenzi nodded. “If there is a breakthrough, then the money I spent won’t have been in vain.”

Du Qiying was very moved, “Thank you very much, Sect Master.”

Jiang Chenzi glanced at him, “In private, there’s no need to be so polite between father and son.”

Du Qiying paused, then smiled, “Father.”

Jiang Chenzi’s expression, which had always been solemn, softened a lot.

Du Qiying was the product of his one-night-stand. Although Jiang Chenzi already had a Dao companion, his Dao companion didn’t have the ability to conceive a child, which made Jiang Chenzi very dissatisfied.

Therefore, when Jiang Chenzi learned by chance that he had an illegitimate son living outside, he immediately set out to look for Du Qiying and bring him back.

As for the woman who gave birth to Du Qiying, he had also emotionlessly disposed of her.

Jiang Chenzi was very careful and attentive towards this biological son of his, so much so that he treated Du Qiying like his own successor.

If there was anyone here, they would be very surprised.

The backer behind Du Qiying was actually the one with the highest position within Profound Sky Sect, the Sect Master Jiang Chenzi. For this very reason, no one seemed to be willing to help Lin Xuanzhi get justice after he was backstabbed by Du Qiying.

Of course, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was hidden very well. In the entire Profound Sky Sect, Daoist Yi Dao was probably the only one who knew about this.

Jiang Chenzi asked, “I heard that you are very close to a little girl from the inner door recently?”

Du Qiying’s expression remained unchanged. “Yeah, that Lin Yurou is an elder sister from Lin Xuanzhi’s family. She seems very easy to exploit and can be placated with just a few items.”

Although Jiang Chenzi knew clearly of his son’s hobbies, he didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, without Jiang Chenzi’s indulgence, the things that Du Qiying did inside the sect would not have been so easily settled.

However, Jiang Chenzi still warned, “Qiying, I don’t want to care about your hobbies, but you have to guarantee one thing — you must deal with these relations.h.i.+ps cleanly. Don’t forget that He Cailing’s grandfather is a rogue cultivator from the outside. She’s not someone we can easily offend.”

Du Qiying repeatedly a.s.sured, “Father, rest a.s.sured, I know the stakes.”

Jiang Chenzi nodded, “During this period of time, your father will enter secluded cultivation. If you have any matters, you should consult with your master, Daoist Yi Dao.”

Du Qiying nodded and looked at Jiang Chenzi. “Father, you would be attempting to breakthrough to Profound Realm’s Return Origin Stage now?”

Jiang Chenzi was the master of a sect. However, his cultivation was not the highest among the entire sect. But, he had a deep background and was recognized by Sky Peak Sect’s Sect Master. Thus, his Sect Master’s position was secured and no one dared to object. Jiang Chenzi’s eyes flashed with a smile, “Yes, I have a faint feeling that my bottleneck has loosened up recently. So, I want to take this opportunity to enter closed-door cultivation and attempt to breakthrough. If I am lucky, I might just be able to break through successfully. When that time comes…”

Then he would be number one in Profound Sky Sect and would no longer have to be shackled by Sinking Sword Peak.

Du Qiying smiled, “Then your son congratulates Father in advance.”

“It’s not too late to congratulate me when I leave secluded cultivation.” Jiang Chenzi did not dare to say anything, in fear of jinxing himself. He took out a spiritual Qi-gathering device from his storage bag and handed it to Du Qiying. “I promised Breaking Sword Peak’s Esteemed Qing Yun before that when he enters closed-door cultivation, I will gift him a treasure tool to a.s.sist him. He will enter secluded cultivation soon. Please hand him this spiritual Qi-gathering device for me.”

Du Qiying received the spiritual Qi-gathering device. “When your child leaves, he will hand it over to Esteemed Qing Yun.”

Jiang Chenzi warned, “The power of this spiritual Qi-gathering device is so great that ordinary people cannot bear it. You must never try it yourself, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Du Qiying repeatedly promised, “This spiritual Qi-gathering device is for Esteemed Qing Yun to advance his cultivation. Naturally, your child will not try it himself. Father can rest a.s.sured that I will hand it to Esteemed Qing Yun and help him advance his cultivation as soon as possible.”

Only then did Jiang Chenzi let Du Qiying leave.

Once he left the secret chamber’s door, Du Qiying quickened his pace and walked towards Broken Sword Peak.
