Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 742 - You Are Brothers 12th Update

Chapter 742: Chapter 742: You Are Brothers [12th Update] Chapter 742: Chapter 742: You Are Brothers [12th Update] Li Xiaoyao’s face remained serene as the effects of the Spirit God Pill were evident, but so was the pain that needed to be withstood.

To endure was to leap in one’s talent, yet to falter could mean death or serious injury.

Li Xiaoyao did not mention this because he knew that once he did, Xie Nan would absolutely refuse to let Li Pengcheng take it, and Li Pengcheng was such a proud person.

He could harden his heart and, in an almost suicidal manner, strive to elevate his bloodline. In comparison, the Spirit God Pill was child’s play.

“I’ll go back to my cultivation first. Elder Chaotian, I’ll see you tomorrow.” After giving a nod of acknowledgment and paying no heed to the writhing Li Pengcheng, Li Xiaoyao turned and left.

…

Back in his room, Li Xiaoyao took out the Nascent Souls of Shi Feng and Su San, casually erased the consciousness within them, then reclaimed his Storage Ring.

...

The Nascent Souls of Spirit Condensation Realm Venerables were excellent tonics indeed.

Still, to consume them directly was a waste.

The best moment was when one was on the verge of a breakthrough in cultivation level, where the vast energy of the Nascent Souls, with a bit of luck, could enable a successive advancement through two ranks without a hitch.

Li Xiaoyao waved to summon a Storage Ring and placed approximately two thousand Zhu fruits inside it, which he intended to leave for Li Chengfeng the next day.

A single Zhu fruit was equivalent to a Fourth Grade Pill Medicine, moreover, one without any side effects.

Having just been through many significant events, the most crucial thing for the Li Family now was to enhance the overall strength of the entire clan. Zhu fruits could undoubtedly play a significant role.

Closing his eyes, Li Xiaoyao entered the System as usual, opened the Combat System, and set the time ratio between it and the outside world to ten to one, resuming his cultivation.

…

In the guest room of the Li Family, Nangong Yin and his wife were chatting leisurely with their two children.

Naturally, their conversation revolved around the Li Family and Li Xiaoyao.

“Having Li Xiaoyao in the Li Family is indeed a blessing,” Nangong Yin spoke highly of Li Xiaoyao.

Ling’er’s face immediately brightened with a smile at the praise for Li Xiaoyao, feeling even happier than Li Xiaoyao himself.

The couple exchanged a look, and the wife asked, “Ling’er, what do you think of Xiaoyao?”

“Huh?” Ling’er was a bit puzzled, not knowing why her mother would suddenly ask this, but she still nodded and said, “Brother Li is really nice. He’s not arrogant like others say. Every time Brother Li takes action, it’s because the other person struck first.”

Getting to that point, Ling’er became a little angry, and thought, Hmph, those jerks always provoke Li Xiaoyao for no reason, and when they end up beaten black and blue by him, they deserve it.

The couple exchanged another knowing glance, seeing the mirth in each other’s eyes.

“Do you like Xiaoyao?”

“Ah!”

“I hate it, Dad, what are you talking about, I’m not talking to you anymore.” Ling’er was startled by this sudden question, and her cheeks flushed red at once.

The parents laughed incessantly, while Nangong Xuan covered his forehead, feeling helpless. This little girl, with such a reaction, it seemed futile to even try to argue.

“To like is to like, what’s there not to dare to admit? My daughter, Nangong Yin, is more than a match for him, Li Xiaoyao,” Nangong Yin was in a good mood and said, “When Xiaoyao returns from the Ancient Li Family, I will propose a marriage to Chengfeng and have a splendid wedding.”

“Dad…” Ling’er cooed softly but did not object.

Just the thought of possibly marrying Li Xiaoyao thrilled her.

…

The next day, early morning.

Li Xiaoyao awoke from his cultivation practice to the patter of a light rain outside.

The weather wasn’t great.

Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly; he preferred days filled with brilliant sunshine.

At breakfast, Li Pengcheng was nowhere to be seen; it was unclear whether the lad had managed to withstand the ordeal or not.

“Boom!”

A pillar of blood-red light shot up from the Li Family’s testing plaza, piercing the sky.

Li Xiaoyao looked toward the sound and, judging from the color of the blood-red pillar and the oppressive aura emanating from the bloodline, knew that Li Pengcheng had finally broken through to become a Zhi Hao in his bloodline.

On the testing plaza, Li Pengcheng gazed at the blood-red rings falling one after another, his heart brimming with excitement.

As the seventh blood-red ring descended, his face flushed with excitement.

Not far away, Li Chengfeng and several elders were also somewhat stirred.

Seventh Grade bloodline, another member of the Li Family had reached the Seventh Grade bloodline!

This signified that in the Xuan Country’s Li Family, aside from Li Xiaoyao, there was a second person who could go to the Ancient Li Family to participate in the clan competition.

“No, that’s not right!” Li Pengcheng’s face changed as he suddenly exclaimed.

Startled by his outburst, Li Chengfeng and the others quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Without answering, Li Pengcheng just stared dumbfounded at the blood-red column of light.

“Buzz~”

The eighth blood-red column formed above the pillar of light and slowly descended.

“Ei…Eighth Grade!”

Li Chengfeng’s voice trembled as he and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.

It was not Seventh Grade, it was Eighth Grade!

“Hahaha!”

“My Li Family will finally rise!”

At this moment, everyone in the Li Family could hear Li Chengfeng’s excited and frenzied voice.

Two sons, one surpassing the Ninth Grade bloodline and the other an Eighth Grade bloodline, both were truly the cream of the crop.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise, one that even Li Pengcheng hadn’t foreseen.

Li Pengcheng continued to wait, but as the ninth ring failed to materialize, he finally let go somewhat reluctantly.

As the blood-red pillar of light dispersed, Li Chengfeng and the others immediately stepped forward to inquire, “How’s your cultivation level? Has it improved?”

“Hmm.” Li Pengcheng nodded. After swallowing the Spirit God Pill the previous night, he had suffered for hours, but such agony had indeed brought him a handsome reward.

Firstly, his bloodline had advanced from Sixth Grade to Eighth Grade.

And his cultivation level had leapt from the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm to the Second Rank of the Golden Core Realm.

A single Spirit God Pill, one night’s time, had propelled him forward by five ranks! What was more precious was that amidst such rapid advancement, he felt not the slightest bit of instability, as if he had earnestly and steadily cultivated these five ranks himself.

“Golden Core Realm, Second Rank.” Li Pengcheng’s excitement was uncontrollable.

“Good, good, good!” Li Pingshuang said ‘good’ thrice, his words revealing the Ancestral Elder’s excitement.

“Pengcheng!” Li Pingshuang’s smile disappeared as he spoke with utter seriousness, “You are highly competitive, which is both your strength and weakness. I know you might have many grievances against Xiaoyao, but no matter what, you are brothers, and that is an unchangeable fact.”

Li Pengcheng’s face, once filled with excitement, gradually sobered as he lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Pingshuang continued, “The position of the Clan Leader of the Li Family will be yours in time, but you are still young and lack the calmness, objectivity, and maturity in handling affairs. Xiaoyao, as your elder brother, will manage the family affairs on your behalf for now, but eventually, it will all be handed over to you.”

“Hmm.” Li Pengcheng responded indifferently, offering no additional words.

“You are brothers, and any discord should be resolved within the family. Once outside, you must support each other. I do not wish to see a repeat of the incident in the Human Realm,” Li Pingshuang finished, his voice acquiring an edge by the end.
