Chapter 8 - Tenth Layer's Peak
In the main hall, furious expressions appeared on the faces of all the three old men.
Before refining the pellet, the reason they didn’t inform He Yiming was that if they had informed him and had failed to succeed later, he would have been greatly disappointed, and it might even have affected his state of mind while cultivating.
However, the moment refining of this pellet succeeded, all the five members of He family who knew the situation tacitly knew one of the three bottles would go in He Yiming’s hands.
Because He Yiming was the youngest child in the clan who had the most potential to grow.
An important cultivation resource like a golden pellet would naturally be given to him. If not for the fact that such a low level golden pellet would only be potent once, they wouldn’t even have minded giving all the three to him.
As for whether if it would be of any use to He Yiming, this didn’t enter their consideration at all.
Therefore, the allocation of the remaining two bottles had not been confirmed yet, but the one in the hand of He Yiming had no chance of being revoked.
If He Yiiming were to say that he didn’t feel emotional when he saw the angry expressions of his three elders, he would be lying to himself. His insides felt warm- so much so that the words about his special const.i.tution almost came to his throat before he forced them back.
This didn’t mean that he didn’t trust the three people that stood before him. However, every individual has secrets that one doesn’t wish to divulge to anyone. To He Yiming, the fortune he gained in the lake was his biggest secret which he wouldn’t be willing to divulge ever.
“Yiming, take the golden pellet,” He Wude calmly said, “And don’t say such childish words again.”
He Laibao and He Quanxin also nodded their heads. By their appearances, it seemed if he didn’t pick up the bottle, he would be immediately a.s.saulted with countless verbal a.s.saults.
After pondering for a bit, He Yiming slowly stood up.
As he stood up, a powerful aura, full of self-confidence, spread out from his body.
The expressions of the three slightly changed as they felt a grandeur like that of sunrise coming from He Yiming.
They had no doubts about the fact that He Yiming’s Internal Energy had already attained the ninth layer. However, in any case, they were also ninth layer and tenth layer experts. Even still, the aura that He Yiming released had stunned them.
The part of this aura which affected them the most was not its strength, rather a force of absolute confidence that n.o.body could overlook.
Facing this aura, the three old men somewhat understood He Yiming’s thoughts. Although they didn’t quite approve, they chose to preserve silence nevertheless.
With a resolute gaze and steady back, He Yiming said, “Grandfather, Grandpa Bao, eldest uncle, can you think of someone that can compete with me in talent?”
The three old men shook their heads. Comparing talent with this freak? What a joke!
He Yiming candidly laughed and said, “Since it’s like this, I give you my word. Three years…three years at most, I will attain the tenth layer,” His vision swept, carrying a hint of disdain that could make one blindly believe his words, “Do you trust me?”
He Wude and the rest gaped. They previously wished to say that advancing to the tenth layer was no easy feat. Otherwise, He Quanxin and He Laibao wouldn’t have spent so much time being stuck on this junction.
However, for some reason, they found themselves unable to say a single word of reb.u.t.tal.
The three old men shared a glance and bitterly s

miled. For the first time, they felt that the future accomplishments of this child would be far beyond what they had antic.i.p.ated.
Knowing his limits and also when to stop, He Yiming completely withdrew his aura.
If he’d continued to maintain this suppressive aura, the old men would have flipped out sooner or later.
“Grandfather, I suppose you won’t ask me to take the golden pellet now,” He Yiming said with a chuckle. He seemed a completely different person compared to a moment ago.
He Wude deeply sighed and said, “Since you are so confident, this golden pellet will remain with me. However, after three years…”
He Yiming’s eyes s.h.i.+ned as he resolutely said, “Grandfather, rest a.s.sured, I will definitely attain the tenth layer within the next three years.”
His words carried a force of unquestionable authority. He Wude had not even finished speaking before he was stopped in middle.
The latter bitterly laughed. If any of his other grandsons had dared to cut him off in middle, he would have felt extremely irritated. However, he simply felt incapable to take offense on being interrupted over this matter.
He Laibao suddenly patted his hands and said, “Sixth young master is so confident. This is obviously quite good. Old master let’s wipe our eyes and wait.”
