Chapter 80: Requesting the Essence of Spirit Pill

  In the darkness, that cold and proud figure stiffened slightly, just in time to meet Yang Fan's gaze.

  He took a deep breath and slipped into the house like a ghost.

  At this moment, under the illumination of the indoor lamp, the mysterious man's face was finally revealed.

  This is a face similar to Yang Fan's, but with a few more points of arrogance and coldness, exuding a subtle aura of killing intent. Those eyes are distant and piercing, as if they can penetrate people's souls.

  He turned out to be Yang Lei, the Yang Lei who had already left his youth behind and was heading towards maturity, even his height was no longer comparable to Yang Fan's.

  At this moment, if he were standing with Yang Fan, outsiders could see that they were brothers, but it was not necessarily possible to distinguish who was the older brother and who was the younger brother.

  "Little brother, it's been two months since we last saw each other, and the change in you is really huge. What on earth did Father leave us that could have brought about such a transformation?"

  Yang Fan was also slightly startled when he saw his younger brother.

  Yang Lei's entire temperament changed greatly, and his cultivation also advanced from the late stage of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

  The Great Perfection of Refining Qi, this level of cultivation and strength, in the Yang Family Village area, is absolutely not to be underestimated, enough to look down on and intimidate the nearby scattered cultivators.

  "Brother, you've also made me look at you in a new light. In just two months' time, you've gone from being a useless person to returning to the world of cultivation. I even heard that you're opening a medical clinic, saving lives and benefiting all living things? This isn't like your usual personality."

  Yang Lei showed no weakness, with a sharp glint in his eyes, staring straight at his older brother, with an underlying trend of wanting to overpower him.

  His tone also carried a hint of sarcasm and skepticism.

  He is Yang Fan's younger brother, and since childhood, they have grown up together, so how can they not understand each other's personalities.

  Saving the world and loving all living things is not a trait that Yang Fan should have.

  Yang Fan matured very early, and long ago saw through the essence of the immortal world: the weak are preyed upon by the strong, killing and cutting with decisiveness, benefits are clear-cut, never doing anything that doesn't benefit himself or is meaningless.

  "Hehe, little brother, you still understand me the most." Yang Fan smiled lightly and didn't deny Yang Wei's questioning. He immediately changed the subject: "The things Father left behind, you've already gotten them. Now that you're returning to 'Wu Liu Town', what's your purpose?"

  Yang Lei fell silent for a moment, then simply moved a stool over and sat down. Then, in a calm tone, he said: "Big brother, in the past, your natural talent was superior to others, and your cultivation had always suppressed me, even making you the number one person in our family. At that time, whatever you said went, I couldn't disobey, and my sister and mother also listened to you..."

  "But now it's different, I should have the right to speak in this family, and age is no longer a reason for me to obey you."

  "Oh?" Yang Fan smiled faintly: "But I am your brother after all, and Father also said before he left that you should listen to me. Have you forgotten?"

  "Shut up! I was less than six years old at that time, now I'm an adult, capable of supporting this family and protecting every single one of my relatives. Tell me, big brother, do you have such ability now?"

  Yang Lei coldly smiled and said.

  "Alright, after saying so much and beating around the bush, what is your ultimate goal?"

  Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a few strands of anger in his heart.

  "Big brother, little brother knows that your storage bag has a lot of capital, which was given by your master and family when you were the number one genius at first, but I only want that middle-grade 'Yun Shen Dan' in your hand."

  Yang Lei's voice was slightly more agitated as he said, "In the current 'Southern Neighbor Yang Family', among the three generations of disciples, only I and Yang Guang have entered the Great Circle of Refining Qi. We are both key cultivation objects in the family. From the hints dropped by the head of the household, it can be seen that between Yang Guang and me, we are both candidates for the next generation's head of the household. Because the old ancestor's lifespan is not long, and the head of the household only has one daughter, Yang Man, so as long as whoever's strength can surpass the other by a head, and make an outstanding performance at the 'Ask Heaven Conference' in two and a half years, the head of the household may possibly marry his daughter to that person..."

  Yang Fan listened to this long speech and finally understood, lightly sighing: "You want to use the 'Yun Shen Dan' in my hands to break through the Condensing Spirit Stage?"

  It turned out that before Yang Fan dispersed his powers, he had a medium-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, which was given to him by his master, Liu Wuhen, before he broke through the Condensing Spirit stage. However, with his state of mind and talent at the time, he was extremely confident and managed to advance successfully without relying on the pill.

  This secret, only the original Yang Lei knew. However, what he didn't know was that Yang Fan actually had two middle-grade Spirit Infusion Pills that were the dream of many Qi Refining stage cultivators. The other one was obtained from the previous battle in the wilderness, where Jin Hongmen's master and disciple died, and Yang Fan gained it by chance.

  "That's right, Yang Guang and I are just one step away from breaking through to the Condensation Period."

  Yang Lei's face was urgent, "Big brother, I hope you can give me that 'Yun Shen Dan', as long as I can enter the Condensation Period and become the next generation successor of Yangjia Fortress, who dares to bully us!"

  "Hum, you've swallowed up all the things Father left behind and still haven't given me an explanation. Now you're coming to ask for the 'Yun Shen Dan' again? Moreover, you just entered the Qi Refining Great Circle not long ago, if you enter the Condensing Spirit stage in a short period of time, aren't you afraid of the Yang family in Kyoto?"

  "of assassination."

  Yang Fan suddenly poured cold water.

  Kyoto YANG's home!

  Yang Lei hesitated for a moment, then said: "As far as I know, the Yang family in Kyoto is currently busy with something and has sent out many people and powerful cultivators. They probably don't have time to care about the remote corner of Yangjia Fortress. Besides, the grudge of the Yang family in Kyoto is limited to a few people from the previous generation, it's not a big deal. Otherwise, why would Father bring us to Wuli Town and let you go to Yangjia Fortress to cultivate?"

  "Did you find out about what happened back then from the remains your father left behind?"

  Yang Fan's face changed, and he hastily asked.

  "That's right, I do know a bit." Yang Lui smiled proudly: "The few people involved back then, Father, your master Liu Wuheng, and the elder of the Yang family in Kyoto, Mr. Xu."

  "These are all personal grudges, and not even deep-seated hatred. They were basically settled in the previous generation. Moreover, according to Father's words, these few people are not even considered our true enemies of the Yang family..."

  "Who is the real enemy? Where has Father gone now?"

  Yang Fan asked nervously.

  "I don't know, Father's message didn't mention it either, but he warned us that without a foundation period of cultivation, we absolutely must not investigate this matter. If you want to take revenge, at least you need to have Golden Dan stage cultivation..."

  Yang Lei's face was cold and detached as he said, "So, you must hand over that 'Yuan Shen Dan' to me, let me enter the Condensation Period as soon as possible. With my qualifications, potential, and the capital left by my father, it's not impossible for me to enter the Foundation Establishment Period in the future."

  "What did Father leave us after all? And where is his will?"

  Yang Fan asked again.

  "Big brother, I'm really sorry, but I can't tell you about this matter now. Father's message was also burned by me, afraid that if it's left behind, it will cause trouble and be discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

  Yang Lei said proudly.

  Yang Fan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, the Concentrated Spirit Pill, I'll give it to you. It doesn't matter much to me anyway."

  He now possesses at least a late-stage Soul Realm, and a mid-grade Condensed Spirit Pill has no effect on him. When the time comes to advance to the Condensed Spirit Stage, he only needs to reach the required spiritual power, and it will be completely unobstructed. Moreover, he has two mid-grade Innate Spirit Pills in his hands.

  Yang Lei was overjoyed: "Big brother, you're really willing to give me this dan? Of course, I can also give you some compensation, just consider it an exchange, and I definitely won't let you suffer a loss."

  "Never mind, you'll probably still use the capital left by your father to exchange with me, what's the point of that. This Concentrated Spirit Dan, I'll consider our brotherly affection and give it to you."

  Yang Fan took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and tossed it to Yang Lue.

  "Thank you, big brother."

  Yang Lei's face showed joy, he took over the jade bottle, and didn't even look at it, directly putting it into his storage bag, as if he trusted his big brother very much.

  "Of course, I'd like to advise you that for the time being, it's best not to rush through the Condensing Spirit stage. If your cultivation rises too quickly, not only will your realm be unstable, but you might also bring about a disaster that will cost you your life."

  Yang Fan dissuaded him.

  "Don't worry, big brother, I'm not an idiot."

  Yang Lei gave him a smile and floated away, saying: "I'll take my leave first, I still have some things to attend to tonight."

  Yang Fan gazed at his departing back, with a complex and indescribable expression in his eyes. He muttered to himself: "This child is getting more and more arrogant, even I can hardly see through him. Is the pride and arrogance he shows just a disguise?"
