240 Dont Go Overboard (1/2)

”So quickly?” He Mengxi was shocked. A 24-year-old Dharma adept? Exactly what kind of treasure did her Little Brother receive...

”That's not fast at all,” replied Zhou Donghuang, shaking his head. His progress was much slower than the esteemed disciples of the Supreme Sects and Star Clans. For them, it was typical to achieve the Dharma stage before the age of twenty.

”Furthermore, it's the work of the elixir that I told you about just now,” continued Zhou Donghuang. ”That elixir is an old formula. It is powerful beyond imagination. Sister, how long has Da Zhuang been at the ultimate Primal Core stage?” he asked.

Da Zhuang was only a few years older than him.

”About two years or so,” replied He Mengxi after thinking about it carefully.

Zhou Donghuang nodded. ”When I come back from the Summer Valley, I will give Da Zhuang one of the ancient elixirs. As long as there are sufficient spirit stones to set up an energy-gathering position, within a month, he will be able to attain the Dharma stage!” Zhou Donghuang finished in an immensely confident tone. It was a confidence that could not be questioned. The ancient elixir's power had already been tried and tested by Zhou Donghuang, so he understood its potency and had high confidence in it.

Zhou Donghuang's conviction was enough to convince He Mengxi. She asked, ”That ancient elixir, what exactly is it? How can it enable Da Zhuang to attain the Dharma stage within a mere month?”

Zhou Donghuang smiled as he replied, ”This elixir allows Golden Essence adepts to produce a Dharma within a short time and thus attain the Dharma stage. But this is only for Golden Essence adepts. As long as there are enough spirit stones to set up a Qi-gathering formation to aid one's practice, after using the elixir, even a Golden Essence adept who has just attained the Ultimate Primal Core stage will be able to enter the Dharma stage within a short time.” Here, Zhou Donghuang paused slightly and looked at He Mengxi before continuing, ”Now that I think of it, I produced this elixir using an old recipe that I learned in my dream.”

Dream! Hearing Zhou Donghuang mention his dream again, He Mengxi drew in a short breath. Now, she believed every word that her little brother was saying. Hence, she felt fortunate; her little brother's appearance in advance would give her the chance to change her and her father's fates. Otherwise, her father would die, and she would leave the planet and the Hengliu Galaxy, and be stranded in the vast outside universe.

If He Mengxi squared off alone against Lian Can, nobody would step out to support Lian Can since the two of them were at the same level. But once He Mengxi joined forces with Zhou Donghuang against Lian Can, the people of Summer Valley would not stand by and do nothing.

”Together?” Zhou Donghuang was surprised. He could not help but shake his head and smile, ”Third Sister, there is no need for that.”

Seeing Zhou Donghuang's confident smile, He Mengxi was swayed. ”Can it be that this little brother is so confident?”

Lian Can's father was the Summer Valley chief, Lian Kun, and they lived in the same residence. As the leader of the valley, although Lian Kun's home could not be considered lavish, it was spacious and contained many rooms, enough for many people to live in.

”Lian Can, my Little Brother would like to spar with you.” He Mengxi brought Zhou Donghuang to the Summer Valley chief's residence. She announced their arrival in a loud voice that traveled far.

Soon, many Summer Valley disciples were attracted by the commotion.

”It's He Mengxi of the Autumn Valley!”

”He Mengxi caused trouble for Pan Yilin half a month ago, and it was Lian Can who stopped her. Then, Lian Can sparred with her, and they were both equally matched, so it was a draw in the end.”

”After half a month, why is she back again? She even said that her Little Brother wants to spar with Lian Can?”

”The young man in white beside her—is that the younger disciple she's talking about?”

For most people in the Summer Valley, Zhou Donghuang was an unfamiliar face.

Pan Yilin had also come to watch the commotion, and he recognized Zhou Donghuang immediately. His recognition was followed by immense shock. ”Isn't that Zhou Donghuang from the Autumn Valley? He...he broke through the frontier?” In Pan Yilin's memory, this Zhou Donghuang had only been a Golden Essence adept when they had met a month ago. Now, within a month, he had broken through to reach the Dharma stage?

”Zhou Donghuang?”

”Is he the one who indirectly sold all the fake goods to our Summer Valley disciples?”

”He is so young!”

”So young, but already a Dharma adept—how?”

Pan Yilin's words shocked many of the Summer Valley disciples around him.

”Zhou Donghuang!”
