Chapter 1255: Chapter 416: Secluded Cultivation Breakthrough, Incomplete Pursuit, Bring Your Master Here [Subscribe!]

Xia Yuyao and Xia Yusheng, after all, are just over five years old. It’s only natural for their personalities to change after being exposed to certain things.

The Battle of Hongmen was not too significant; given their age and experience, they probably only grasped the basics. Besides knowing that they defeated Yang Zhun, they were unaware of other details. However, the political discussions in the grand hall afterward were different. Over six hundred high-ranking officials from Great Xia gathered, and the scene, both in terms of atmosphere and momentum, was enough to leave a deep impression on the two little ones.

Xia Hong entered the hall with the two children to participate in the political discussions. He was partly curious to observe their reactions and see how they would respond to such a setting for the first time.

He noticed clearly at that time that both children were somewhat nervous upon entering the hall. This was not surprising given their young age.

But after the initial nervousness, their reactions were starkly different.

The younger son clung tightly to his arm, while the older daughter, Xia Yuyao, was mostly excited, even boldly scrutinizing the people in the hall.

A person’s subconscious actions often reveal hidden aspects of their personality.

Based on this, it could be deduced that the younger son might have a more dependent personality, while the older daughter seemed more independent and bold. To be more severe, she displayed a not-so-weak desire for power at a very young age.

If it was just speculation at that time, then after observing the siblings’ behavioral changes in the half month since returning from Hongmen, Xia Hong was sure:

"In terms of personality, my son takes after me, and my daughter takes after her mother!"

Xia Hong believes that compared to power, stronger skills or higher cultivation realms are what he truly aspires to pursue. From this point, his son who keeps asking for Spiritual Milk Pills obviously resembles him more.

So, the daughter takes after the father, and the son takes after the mother—it’s not that accurate after all...

While musing over this, Xia Hong had already arrived at the Star-picking Platform from his room.

Li Xuanling, sitting on the Enlightenment Divine Lotus, sensed his arrival and opened her eyes, staring intensely at the elixir bottle in his hand, clearly realizing something.

For others to use the Enlightenment Divine Lotus, it only happens when Xia Hong expends resources to activate the Lotus’s special skill, which enhances art to an extraordinary level. So even though Li Xuanling sat on it, she couldn’t enjoy the Lotus’s fivefold cultivation speed increase.

However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the square meter area beneath the Lotus was markedly different from the surrounding floor. Xia Hong had partitioned a small section of the Martial Arts Pavilion’s cultivation area to leave at the Star-picking Platform, so she still had the threefold cultivation speed increase of the Martial Arts Pavilion.

"This is the Sun-Rising Pill made with the Heavenly Yang Fruit as the main component. You can crush it and take it with the Yangyuan Pill to boost the last 10 strands of strength, then you’ll be able to attempt breaking into the Xianyang Level!"

Xia Hong didn’t keep them guessing and directly took out a pill from the bottle.

Though the Sun-Rising Pill is a bone-tempering elixir, its properties are essentially the same as the Yangyuan Pill, and it can be used for reshaping flesh as well. However, its medicinal power is at least ten times stronger than the Yangyuan Pill, so before reaching the Peak of Cold Resistance, it can only be crushed and combined with the Yangyuan Pill for consumption.

Before coming, Xia Hong had already tested the medicinal power, so he was well aware. He directly divided the Sun-Rising Pill into three parts and handed them to Li Xuanling.

Li Xuanling was visibly eager, stepping down from the Lotus, taking the pill bottle, and immediately looking inside before finally looking up at Xia Hong.

"Cheng Feng made 36 in the first batch. There are 15 here. I estimate you’ll need about two to break through to the Peak of Cold Resistance. How many you’ll need afterward depends on your bone body’s quality, but it shouldn’t exceed six..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanling’s face lit up with excitement. She was about to say something when she noticed Xia Hong had already sat on the Lotus, closed his eyes, and begun cultivating.

Holding the bottle, Li Xuanling hesitated for a moment.

"Once it’s given to you, it’s yours. How you use it is up to you!"

Hearing Xia Hong’s words, a touch of emotion appeared on her face. She turned to speak but couldn’t find the words and instead swiftly left the Star-picking Platform.

"Sigh..."

After his wife had gone far away, Xia Hong opened his eyes and sighed gently.

Xia Hong was well aware that Li Xuanling was so excited about the Sun-Rising Pill not for herself, but for her second uncle, Li Tiancheng.

Both of them understood the reason behind Li Xuanling’s hesitation clearly.

Li Tiancheng was already ninety-five, too old...

Breaking into the Xianyang Level is no easy task. In fact, cultivation is never easy. From reshaping skin in the Earth-Digging Realm, reforming flesh in the Cold Resistance Level, to bone tempering in the Xianyang Level, each stage is excruciatingly painful and risky.

Young people find it unbearable, let alone Li Tiancheng, whose lifespan is nearing its end?

Last month at Hongmen, Xia Hong noticed signs of deterioration in his flesh and blood. With his physical condition, breaking into the Xianyang Level was, honestly, nearly impossible.

Unless there was an elixir that could extend Li Tiancheng’s lifespan. Xia Hong had mentioned this last month when comforting Li Xuanling.

A lifespan-extending elixir is undoubtedly precious; not even Nine Towns has it, and Xia Hong had to question if the Chen and Cai feudal towns had any.
