Limitless - Chapter 98: Fighting the Xiantian

Chu Yu and Lord Chu headed north after leaving the Chu Clan premises.

Lord Chu seemed to want to test Chu Yu’s abilities. The moment they left the premises, he began sprinting. He shot forward like an arrow and disappeared from his original position in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yu chuckled and kept up with him.

He only stopped after running for more than half an hour.

Lord Chu felt heartened to see Chu Yu following closely behind

"You're really good!"

Chu Yu smiled, "Brother is great too!"

Lord Chu pursed his lips, even though he was naive, he wasn’t stupid.

He could tell that his cousin did not merely just recover, his abilities were no weaker than him, possibly even stronger!

He raised his thumb to Chu Yu, "You’re powerful! I am happy for you."

A simple man expresses his feelings equally simply.

He surveyed the surroundings, then whispered to Chu Yu, "It’s just ahead, no more than 10 miles."

As he spoke, he led the way whilst Chu Yu followed behind.

Just as the two men approached the area, Chu Yu’s expression changed instantly and he yanked Lord Chu backwards.

An unbelievably fast arrow brushed by Lord Chu’s face.

Zoom!

Only then did an icy sound echo through the air.

Bang!

This arrow impacted a huge tree some distance away. Its thick trunk was instantly broken into two!

After an earth shattering sound echoed out, the tree crashed to the ground.

It startled flocks of birds and a whole nest of insects.

At this point, a second arrow... was fired straight at them!

The opponent was good, the second arrow was aimed at Chu Yu, but it had predicted his possible dodges.

If Chu Yu had moved in the same way he yanked back Lord Chu, the arrow would have hit.

However, Chu Yu did not move.

This arrow brushed by Chu Yu’s face and disappeared into the dense forest.

A huge gust of wind blew Chu Yu’s hair around.

Chu Yu’s expression was icy, and a wave of killing intent flashed by his forehead.

"You’re not done huh?" Chu Yu said icily, as he lunged in the direction of the arrow like a hunting tiger.

The third arrow... was fired at Chu Yu’s face once again!

Chu Yu bellowed and raised his hand to grab the arrow!

Some distance away, an exquisitely pretty lady smiled coldly.

She said flatly, "Courting death!"

She could not belief that the man in front of her had the ability to catch her arrow.

That arrow flew straight towards Chu Yu’s face.

Zoom!

The sound of the arrow pierced through the air.

This was a genuine killing arrow.

In an instant, Chu Yu harnessed all the energy in his body and channeled it into his left arm.

Pa!

Chu Yu grabbed the arrow out of the sky!

The sharp arrowhead was mere millimeters from Chu Yu’s forehead!

Chu Yu felt a burning sensation in his hand.

Without a moment of hesitation, he threw the arrow back the moment he caught it.

The lady hiding in the bush got a shock of her life. She rolled to avoid the arrow.

But the speed of the arrow... was too fast!

It had exceeded that of when the arrow was fired by the bow!

How could this be?

The lady could not escape, barely able to prevent the arrow from hitting her vital spots.

However, the arrow hit her shoulder, carried her into the air and nailed her onto a large tree.

The lady was suspended from the tree, her legs dangling, screaming in pain.

"Ah!"

This sound broke the silence in the forest, scaring countless animals.

After she screamed, she continued to struggle, trying to remove the arrow from her body. However, the pain prevented her from doing anything. She continued to scream, tears and snot filling up her face.

Hum!

The entire forest was suddenly filled by a terrifying hum.

Then, a figure charged towards Chu Yu and unimaginable speeds!

He held a long blade in his hand, and began slashing at Chu Yu from a large distance away!

A ray of icy blade aura was sent flying towards Chu Yu!

Everything that the aura passed through... was sliced cleanly in half.

Even the large ancient trees and giant rocks were split into 2.

A deep valley was cut right in the middle of the mountain!

This was no martial art, this was sacred art!

The approaching individual... was a Xiantian Realm cultivator!

The blade aura was fast and ferocious!

Chu Yu had trouble avoiding the aura. It brushed past his body and took off some of the skin on his arm.

Blood flowed out of the wound.

Lord Chu bellowed and lunged in that direction.

Chu Yu knocked Lord Chu away with his foot.

Boom!

Yet another blade aura decimated the land where Lord Chu was standing.

Chu Yu’s eyes flashed with a wave of anger as he silently held the Spirit Stunning Bow in hand.

The palm sized bow would not attract any attention if one did not pay attention.

At the same time, Chu Yu’s figure dashed towards the opponent.

He twisted his bleeding left arm, pulled it back, then... punched viciously at the figure ahead!

The figure deftly dodged it like a phantom.

At this point, the Spirit Stunning Bow in Chu Yu’s right hand... activated!

Boom!

A huge cavity of blood appeared suddenly on the Xiantian cultivator’s chest.

He grunted, then retreated slightly.

This was not the first time Chu Yu used the Spirit Stunning Bow, and he had learnt some of the rules pertaining to its use.

You could control the energy that the Spirit Stunning Bow absorbs!

Most people would channel all their power when using the Spirit Stunning Bow. As such, the Spirit Stunning Bow would also take up all the user’s energy.

Unless the person using the Spirit Stunning Bow had completely surpassed the Supreme Realm, as long as they channeled all their power, the bow would absorb all of their power.

However, if one only channeled 10% of one’s power, then the Spirit Stunning Bow will only absorb that 10%!

After discovering this, Chu Yu had felt that he was rather dumb.

Even though a Supreme Realm equipment wasn’t particularly divine or legendary, it was relatively superior.

For such a superior weapon, even Supreme Realm individuals would not use it likely if it voided the entire body’s energy.

Wouldn’t that make it completely useless?

Chu Yu’s attack only used 30% of his power!

For Chu Yu’s current strength, 30% was not low.

The damage a Supreme Realm weapon could deal was not small.

The fact that the Xiantian Cultivator’s chest had been punched through was testament to the Spirit Stunning Bow’s strength.

This Xiantian cultivator looked at Chu Yu in aghast, blood dripping out of the corner of his mouth as he stared at the Spirit Stunning Bow in Chu Yu’s hands.

His eyes filled with hatred as he grated his teeth, "How did our clan’s Spirit Stunning Bow... end up in your hands?"

"What your clan? This is mine!" Chu Yu said coldly as he calculated the chances of him hitting the Xiantian cultivator a second time with the Spirit Stunning Bow.

However, it was clear that his opponent was now prepared. The chances of a hit would be close to zero.

The opponent was well into the intermediate stages of the Xiantian Realm. If he wasn’t injured, Chu Yu would not be his match.

However, now... Chu Yu had the confidence to fight him!

At this point, Lord Chu had already rushed to the lady hanging from the tree. Seeing the beautiful lady screaming, he scratched his head, finding it difficult to kill her.

Lord Chu did not have much experience outside, since young, he had been living within the Chu Clan mountainous premises.

His character was still rather gentlemanly and chivalrous, and found it inappropriate for a man and a woman to engage in battle.

If it wasn’t for the fact that this woman was so vicious and had made an attempt on Chu Yu’s life, he may have even saved her.

At this point, the lady’s shrill voice echoed out, "Senior, he is Chu Yu, brother Wu Dong was killed by Song Hong, and Chu Yu is related to Song Hong. The Spirit Stunning Bow must have been given to him by Song Hong, kill him quickly!"

Lord Chu felt angered when he heard it. He bellowed furiously, "Why are you so unreasonable? We have nothing against you, why would you kill him?"

The lady looked coldly at Lord Chu and pursed her lips, refusing to acknowledge his presence.

"Seal that sh*t hole!" Chu Yu said coldly.

"Aye!" Chu Yu agreed.

Even though Lord Chu was older, he had always been extremely willing to listen to Chu Yu’s suggestions.

He felt that his cousin was experienced and had seen the world.

"You dare to touch me!" The lady screeched, "You b*stard, scram!"

The woman scolded as she saw Lord Chu approach her.

Lord Chu frowned, but continued walking towards her.

"B*stard... scram!" The lady screeched, "Senior please save me!"

Pa!

Lord Chu raised his hand and slapped the woman viciously, "Shut up!"

The lady was stunned. Her hair was in a mess as she still hung from the tree. Her eyes glowed with a vengeful aura as she glared at Lord Chu.

She swore to herself, If I ever get my freedom, I will rip the two of you to shreds!

The injured Xiantian cultivator suddenly shouted, "Stop..."

Before he could finish, Lord Chu had already landed a punch on the woman’s chest.

The lady could not believe it. With a scream, she spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to speak. Her head drooped and she was dead!

Lord Chu said coldly, "When the beasts in the forests think of revenge, they have the same look in their eyes. Since you are a lady, I did not want to kill you, but since you want to kill my brother, you have left me no choice!"

"Ah!" The injured Xiantian cultivator raged as he prepared to charge towards Lord Chu.

"Stop right there!" As Chu Yu spoke, he waved the Spirit Stunning Bow at the Xiantian cultivator.

The Xiantian cultivator was shocked as he dove for cover. Chu Yu laughed icily as he kept the Spirit Stunning Bow and punched straight at the Xiantian cultivator.

This punch was extremely powerful, much like that of a flying giant rock.

The injured Xiantian cultivator had to match Chu Yu. However, in his opinion, this man with the Spirit Stunning Bow was no match for him!

He was just an Invigorated Meridian martial artist. He could kill this scum with a single punch!

"Die!"

The Xiantian cultivator raged as his punch flew and connected with Chu Yu’s fist.

It was like two giant rocks clashing together in mid air. The skies filled with sparks from the collision!

The Xiantian cultivator retreated a few steps before steadying himself.

This punch has aggravated his injuries and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Chu Yu retreated a few more steps, but his face was solemn and he did not suffer heavy injuries.

The energy accumulated by more than a thousand of his acupoints was terrifying. Furthermore, there was boundless energy flowing through two of his meridians.

Even though he was not adept at the sacred art, his power was no less than the average Xiantian cultivator!

"You are Chu Yu from the Chu Clan... how do you have such battle power?" The Xiantian cultivator could not believe his eyes. In the rumours, wasn’t Chu Yu ruined for more than a decade?

Even if he could recover, how could he be this powerful?

"Don’t give me so much rubbish, if you want a fight, let’s fight, else, scram!" Chu Yu said solemnly.

However, as he spoke, he had already begun his attack!

He did not want to let off such a strong enemy.

His opponent thought the same way!

The two began fighting once again.

Limitless - Chapter 97: The Ugliest Pill Ever

The Chu Clan traditionally bore children with great looks, Chu Tiannan was no exception. He was extremely handsome and had an intimidating aura to match his stern expression.

Now he couldn’t help but twist his face, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, "This is judging a book by its cover?"

"Mm... judging a pill by its cover." Chu Yu said solemnly.

Chu Tiannan picked up one with his hand. He seemed to despise it, whilst the others stayed clear.

They had been too shell shocked by the recent explosions and were afraid this pill would explode too.

In actuality, the weaker version of the cultivation pill had no weird smells.

This was quite abnormal. Even though the medicinal masters did not know what pill Chu Yu was refining, how could a pill not have any aroma?

They also thought that Chu Yu refining pills was quite the travesty.

They had high expectations after hearing those rumors, but it seemed that those were just baseless rumours!

How could someone with the Crane Saint’s legacy refine pills as dull as this?

This was an insult to the saint’s legacy!

"Second master, would you like to try one?" Chu Yu said, uncertain.

"..." Chu Tiannan was floored by the request, "Are you sure it can be eaten?"

Chu Yu thought about it for a moment before saying, "I think so?"

Everyone around was speechless as the thought to themselves, Could there be anything more unorthodox than this?

This medicine couldn’t possibly have poison in it could it?

There were quite a few with such thoughts in their minds.

"Let me." Lord Chu tunneled out of the crowd and reached for the pill that Chu Yu refined.

Chu Tiannan restrained him, then swallowed the pill emotionlessly.

"Leader, please don’t!"

"That is inedible!"

"It needs to be tested first..."

Everyone panicked, unsure if Chu Tiannan had eaten a pill or poison.

Chu Yu couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he thought to himself, What a bunch of drama queens?

In fact, he had full confidence in the cultivation pills that he had refined.

No matter what, he had learnt the technique of the saint. Even though he had used an ordinary fire, the firebending techniques were those of a saint.

Even though the looks of the pill weren’t great, Chu Yu was confident that it would not be problematic. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

At this moment.

Everyone looked at Chu Tiannan anxiously.

Some of the medicnal masters even began to prepare antidotes!

Kaboom!

Two rays of energy shot out of Chu Tiannan’s eyes.

His look became extremely solemn.

"Leader, are you okay?"

"Leader, don’t have to put on a brave front, I have an antidote here!"

"Leader, please speak..."

A few of the medicinal masters gathered around and looked at Chu Tiannan with concern.

Some of the more qualified medicinal masters could not help but glare at Chu Yu. One of the ones in his seventies said with heartache, "What a travesty! We can forget about the fact that you wasted so much medicine. But you continue to perpetrate rubbish here, if anything untoward happens to our Clan Leader..."

"Good medicine!"

Chu Tiannan suddenly let out a bellow and interrupted the statement of the medicinal master.

Everyone on scene was stunned. They looked at Chu Tiannan in disbelief, wondering if the Clan Leader had been muddled by the medicine.

"No, it is not medicine!" Chu Tiannan said.

All the other Chu Clan medicinal masters heaved a sigh of relief as they thought to themselves, Good, he still has a clear mind.

If this greyish trash was good medicine, it would be a great travesty!

However, Chu Tiannan’s next statement left them stunned.

"Good pill! Hahaha, this is a genuine pill!"

Chu Tiannan was flushed. He walked to Chu Yu and patted him on the shoulders, "Child, work hard, next time make the pills look nicer. The lack of aroma shows that the essence of the medicine is contained inside the pill, but this look would make people lose their appetite..."

As he spoke, second master took the rest of the weaker cultivation pills and said, "Continue, continue practicing, I will bring this back to carry out some experiments."

Then, second master Chu Tiannan left.

This left a group of people, their eyeballs dropping out of their sockets, their brains unable to grasp what had just happened.

What was this?

"Oh right, this is to be classified as top secret, anyone who spreads this news to the outside world will be executed!"

Chu Tiannan stopped momentarily to say this before leaving.

Even though this statement from second master was filled with killing intent, no one was afraid. They all got the feeling that second master was in an ecstatic mood, smiling all over.

Lord Chu looked at Chu Yu, visibly confused, "You really refined a pill?"

Chu Yu glared at him, "What do you think?"

"I’m sorry, I misspoke." Lord Chu scratched his head, "It looks really ugly! It doesn’t look like a pill..."

"Go away." Chu Yu was immensely hurt.

The old medicinal master who was interrupted previously walked over to Chu Yu and began to analyze the furnace. Then, he scrunched his eyebrows, "How could this be?"

The others all surrounded Chu Yu and looked at the pill furnace. One of them even stuck his nose into the furnace before standing up, visibly aghast, "How could this be?"

"Exactly, how could this be?"

The other medicinal masters all scrunched their eyebrows, confused.

The old medicinal master looked at Chu Yu, "Those... ahem, pills, were refined in this furnace?"

"Yes." Chu Yu nodded.

"That’s impossible!" The old medicinal master exclaimed.

The crowd all looked at the old medicinal master curiously.

Someone asked, "Why is that impossible?"

"Exactly, can you stop beating about the bush?"

"Just say what’s on your mind..."

The old medicinal master glanced at the crowd and asked, "What are you all so curious about?"

The old medicinal master had a high standing in the Chu Clan and was highly respected. Seeing that he was unhappy, the crowd quickly shut up.

Only then did he say, "Under normal pill refining circumstances, the furnace will still have traces of the medicine’s scent. Regardless aromatic or stinky, there would be the corresponding scent! However, Chu Yu’s furnace has no residual scent, that is impossible!"

"Exactly, no matter what pill we are making, there would be some residual scent left in the furnace!" Another medicinal master added flatly.

The other medicinal masters all nodded in agreement.

Those who did not know about pill refinement all looked at Chu Yu in confusion.

Chu Yu shook his head and smiled.

He was still wondering what happened, but it was just this.

He was learning the techniques of a saint, how could he let the medicinal properties leak out?

Even the pill itself did not lose any of the medicinal properties to the outside, not to mention the furnace!

All the medicinal properties were harnessed and kept within the pill.

This was the genuine techniques of saints.

However, Chu Yu did not bother explaining so much to these medicinal masters.

He had been grinding in the pill refining room for so many days, and was thoroughly exhausted.

He glanced at Lord Chu, then left under the confused gazes of the crowd.

Only after they got outside did Lord Chu ask Chu Yu quizzically, "Brother, do you really know how to refine pills?"

"Of course, didn’t you see second master take all the pills away? A pity I didn’t have the chance to ask him about the effect." Chu Yu said rather regretfully.

Lord Chu scratched his head, "How can you not know the medicinal properties of the pill you refined?"

"Hahaha..." Chu Yu laughed and skipped over the question.

Afterwhich, Lord Chu wanted to bring him to find that treasure trough. Chu Yu went back to visit his parents before leaving with Lord Chu.

All the pills taken by Chu Tiannan were now with first master Chu Tianyu.

Seventh Elder Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were also present.

"This is a pill?" Chu Tianbei’s mouth twitched, then he looked to Chu Tiannan, "Second brother... this thing was refined by Chu Yu?"

Chu Tiannan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Seventh brother, let me tell you..."

"I will go find him! Isn’t this a waste of resources? This jerk, he’s getting out of hand. Just because the elders pamper him, he thinks that he can get away with this!" Chu Tianbei began to stand up, ready to storm off to find Chu Yu.

He was immediately stopped by Chu Tiannan. Chu Tiannan laughed, "Seventh brother, don’t be impatient."

"Really, if not for the fact that you stopped me, I would go and discipline him right now!" Chu Tianbei said righteously, his eyes popping out of his socket.

He exaggerated his acting so much that even Song Yu could not take it any longer. She coughed twice and Chu Tianbei immediately stopped.

Chu Tianyu said, "Second brother, you mean to say that a single pill that Xiao Yu has refined is equal to one month of cultivation?"

Chu Tiannan nodded solemnly, "Not bad, quite unbelievable right? I also did not belief that such an ugly pill... could have such great effectiveness.

Chu Tianbei and Song Yu looked at each other, finally understanding what was going on.

But they couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.

The pill that Chu Yu had refined was grey as ash and had no resemblance to any sort of medicine, yet it could match one month of cultivation for a martial artist!

This was too scary, taking twelve of these would shorten one’s training by a year!

What if one took even more?

"If this is the case, the Chu Clan... will begin its rise, no one can stop us!" Chu Tianyu got excited, his voice trembling.

As he spoke, he looked to Chu Tianbei and Song Yu, "Seventh brother and sister, you have borne a great son!"

Chu Tianbei looked at his eldest brother, still in disbelief, "Is this for real?"

Chu Tiannan replied, "Of course it’s real, even though the pill is ugly... actually it’s incredibly atrocious!"

Chu Tiannan couldn’t help but smile sheepishly.

However, upon seeing Chu Tianbei and Song Yu nod in agreement, he chuckled and continued, "But it’s essence is well contained inside, so much so that it is impossible to sense the medicine from the outside. As for what it actually does, you’ll understand after eating one!"

Chu Tianbei and Song Yu hesitated, the pill was really too ugly and unappetizing!

However, seeing that Second Brother sold it so enthusiastically, coupled with the fact that it was refined by their son, they had no choice but to try it. They pinched their noses and swallowed one each.

Boom!

A majestic wave of energy exploded outwards the moment the pill dissolved in the mouth.

It then morphed into a huge wave of power that spread throughout the body before returning to the Dantian.

This pill was also equally effective for Invigorated Meridian martial artists like Chu Tianbei and Song Yu!

"Powerful!" Chu Tianbei could not help but exclaim.

He immediately thought of his son and said, "I didn’t expect that this little kid had such abilities."

Chu Tianyu and Chu Tiannan smiled as they looked at each other, emotions overwhelming them.

Who would have believed that their greatest regret... would become their greatest pride!

Limitless - Chapter 96: Pill Refinement

When Song Yu opened her eyes, the first thing she did was smile at Chu Yu.

"Mum, congratulations!"

Chu Yu’s smile was wide.

"How? Your mum is pretty good huh?" Song Yu grinned.

"You’re not old, you look even younger and prettier, those who don’t know will still take you as my sister." Chu Yu complimented her.

Song Yu’s smile couldn’t be any wider. She ran to the mirror and said in awe, "Aiya, I do look slightly younger!"

"..." Chu Yu was rather exasperated.

No matter their age, females all care so much about their looks.

Lord Chu added, "Auntie does seem much younger!"

Chu Yu glanced at Lord Chu, surprised. He thought to himself, Since when did this guy learn to bootlick?

"Son... your medicine, is extremely strong!" Song Yu glanced at the sealed bottle of soup as she spoke.

Chu Yu replied, "Its medicinal properties get weaker with subsequent uses, only the first use is the most potent."

"Then..." Song Yu nodded, then said, "We should give it to the others to use!"

This was the Chu Clan!

It was unlikely that people in the other clans would be so willing to share.

As Song Yu spoke, she glanced at Lord Chu and said to Chu Yu, "Let’s give Lord Chu a little first."

Lord Chu smiled widely, "That would be great!"

Seeing Seventh Aunty break through to such a high level, Lord Chu was keenly aware that the sealed bottle contained serious treasure.

This fella was rather shameless, but Chu Yu didn’t mind at all.

Because after Lord Chu stumbled upon good luck, the first person he thought of was Chu Yu.

Even if his mother didn’t say it, Chu Yu would never have forgotten about Lord Chu.

In the end, Lord Chu, who had only come to visit Chu Yu and ask Chu Yu to visit his father, ended up meditating after drinking the broth.

Chu Yu was surprised by Lord Chu’s cultivation talent.

In a single day, Lord Chu had progressed from Invigorated Meridian Stage One to Invigorated Meridian Stage Six!

He was a full stage higher than Song Yu!

This result left Chu Yu a little depressed.

After his mother consumed the medicine, she had progressed by leaps and bounds; Lord Chu was the same, progressing five stages in a single day.

He had consumed the same medicine, but had only managed to progress from Invigorated Meridian Stage One to Invigorated Meridian Stage Two.

It would seem that his talent was far weaker than theirs.

But this could not be further from the truth!

The mysterious purple gas in Chu Yu’s body had too great an effect.

It caused his progression to be much slower than others.

But it also made him extremely sturdy!

Coupled with the power from his Killing Days Heart Technique, it made his power unbelievably strong and pure.

As such, whenever Chu Yu broke through, the power growth that he experienced was an astonishing number.

The fact that he could battle with an elementary Xiantian as an Invigorated Meridian Stage Two martial artist was sufficient to prove this point.

Chu Yu understood this, but was still rather unhappy about it.

The Superclass had also clearly stated that a strong foundation would ensure more potential growth in the future.

Chu Yu knew that his parents were too old to start training with the Superclass.

Lord Chu had also entered Invigorated Meridian Stage One before the Superclass arrived, thus it would be impossible for him to train with it too.

Else, their potential progression could be even higher!

Even though this was the case, both Song Yu and Lord Chu were ecstatic.

Only Chu Tianbei was still in his meditative state.

The Seventh Elder of the Chu Clan also had relatively great talent.

However, it was unclear how much he could breakthrough, especially having meditated for this long.

In this time that his father was cultivating in isolation, Chu Yu, together with his mom and Lord Chu went to visit the Chu Clan leader, Chu Tianyu.

After handing over the remaining broth to Chu Tianyu, Chu Yu had a private conversation with him for two hours.

Those familiar with Chu Tianyu all agreed in private that the usually stern master’s smile never left his face since meeting with Chu Yu.

After three days, Chu Tianbei had successfully broken through to Invigorated Meridian Stage Four!

The entire Northern Chu Clan was celebrating!

They were no ancient school, and they did not have a strong foundation.

In the entire Northern Chu Clan, there were only seven to eight Invigorated Meridian Realm elders.

Furthermore, those elders were already extremely aged, and had lost any opportunity to break through to higher stages.

Lord Chu did not reveal his recent luck and attainment of Invigorated Meridian Stage One because he wanted to surprise the entire clan.

With two relatively youthful, and one extremely youthful Invigorated Meridian Realm experts in the clan, this was a cause for celebration.

After discussion amongst the two leaders, they decided to give the soup to the extremely talented as well as those with great contribution.

Everyone did not get much, just a spoonful!

To Chu Tianyu, a group of people breaking through to relatively high realms was more beneficial than a single person breaking through to an extremely high realm.

Chu Yu also thought that this was logical.

His reason for giving the soup to the clan was the same.

He did not expect that the two leaders would plan it so well.

The two of them were extremely selfless, not even leaving a bit for themselves!

This was the reason why the Chu Clan could be this united, and be conferred the name of the Northern Wolves. Their leaders were completely selfless!

This was classified as Top Secret within the Chu Clan.

Even though Chu Yu did not say it explicitly, the two leaders and his parents both knew that it was highly likely that the Crane Saint’s teachings were with Chu Yu!

As for Song Hong... his name has been in every conversation in society, in every thread online. He also had a huge following known only as the Song Army...

Although outsiders didn’t know this, and Chu Yu had not said it explicitly, Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were clear about one thing!

That should be their son Chu Yu!

The Hong in Song Hong’s name was closely related to the Yu in Chu Yu’s name.

Song Yu’s surname was Song...

What else was there to ask?

When Chu Tianbei had guessed Song Hong’s true identity, he had been rather jealous!

Why didn’t he call himself Chu Hong?

Song Yu scolded him for his stupidity, what would be the point in changing his name then?

When news came out that Song Hong had killed himself together with a group of Xiantians, Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were scared stiff.

They only relaxed after getting news that Chu Yu had returned to the Dragon City.

As parents, they did not need Chu Yu to tell them everything, and they did not need to ask.

In order to give birth to such a talented and smart child, Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were no slouches.

However, knowledge was just that, neither Chu Tianbei nor the two leaders ask Chu Yu about it.

Some things had serious ramifications, even as parents and elders, they had to keep their distance.

The Northern Chu Clan became increasingly low profile with Chu Yu’s return.

Their footprint on the web and social media completely ceased.

Chu Tianyu even considered folding some of the businesses in the world but was advised against it by Second Elder.

This would be too obvious and give them away.

"Brother, we should be clear now where the change in the Chu Clan is coming from."

Chu Tiannan looked to his elder brother, "Now we have a superior foundation technique, in the near future, we should also have a large amount of excellent pills. It would seem that we can let everyone in the clan can focus on cultivating without distractions..."

"Is that not the case?" Chu Tianyu frowned, "Are you afraid we would run low on funds?"

Chu Tiannan laughed bitterly, "Since you do not take care of internal affairs, you would not know about this..."

Before he could finish, the warehouse manager Chu Tiansong walked in.

This forty year old Acupoint Charging Stage Five martial artist walked in, his expression bitter. He looked at the two leaders, visibly troubled, "Leaders, the way young master Chu Yu is consuming the medicines, it is too astonishing... at this rate, we would run out of medicine before long!"

Chu Tiannan looked at Chu Tianyu, "How now?"

"Is pill refining... really so wasteful?" Chu Tianyu felt his head aching.

Chu Tiannan comforted his fellow brother Chu Tiansong, telling him to release the medicines to Chu Yu before turning round to look at Chu Tianyu.

He smiled, "Pill refining isn’t that wasteful, but refining pills requires practice and learning, doesn’t it?"

Chu Tianyu ruffled his own hair and said rather exasperatingly, "But this process, is really quite long..."

Is it really long?

In actual fact, it wasn’t too long, it had only been seven days since Chu Yu begun learning.

Even though the Chu Clan was no superior family, however, they had quite a bit of savings in their many years in society

With their location, it was also extremely convenient for the Chu Clan to harvest and keep the medicines. This meant that their reserves were much more than other clans.

With the recovery of the earth everyone’s starting point was about the same.

Under normal circumstances, the medicines that the Chu Clan had harvested over the past 30 years should have been sufficient for an ordinary pill refining master to use, at full speed... for over a decade!

However, the fact was, Chu Yu was no ordinary Pill Refining Master!

Bang!

The pill refining room experienced another explosion!

Chu Yu stood there, his face caked with ash. He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a determined, steely glow.

The medicinal masters of the Chu Clan glanced at each other. Only a few twitched their mouths, but the others were expressionless, not in the least bit pitying Chu Yu.

They had seen this too many times.

The first time, they were shocked, worried and even afraid that the young master would be hurt.

How can someone so inexperienced come to refine pills?

Wasn’t this nonsense?

However, the two leaders were going along with the charade.

This accepting attitude was crazy!

Could the rumours online be true?

It wasn’t that people didn’t suspect that Hero Song, Song Hong, had given Chu Yu the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

However, the medicinal masters quickly realized they had just been thinking too much.

They had already gotten used to the explosions.

For his first attempt, Chu Yu had used an ordinary furnace and an ordinary flame.

The reason was simple, he did not want to be experimenting with a saint’s item!

Pill refining required experience, the furnace and the fire were just added benefits!

Much like cultivation, Chu Yu wanted to have a good foundation.

In the end, the furnace exploded.

The second time, he also used an ordinary furnace. Chu Yu controlled his Firebending abilities and carefully maneuvered the ordinary fire.

Then... the furnace exploded again!

Third time, fourth time, fifth time...

This group of people grew numb to the continuous explosions, unable to bring themselves to care.

But they were angry - how could someone refine pills this way? This was completely humiliating the medicine!

Chu Yu was also on the verge of going crazy, he did not expect pill refining to be this difficult!

He could understand the theories instantly, and thought of himself as a pill refining talent.

Only after he had some hands-on experience did he realize that theory and practical were two vastly different things!

Simply theorycrafting was of no use!

In fact, the Chu Clan warehouse was still stocked with medicines.

But, Chu Yu’s rate of consumption was really rather terrifying, and... even after consuming so much medicine, he had not been able to produce a single pill!

All they heard were explosions...

He had already destroyed three to four pill furnaces!

This was too much!

Those pill furnaces were made from superior materials, each one unbelievably expensive!

Even though the Chu Clan was not short on money, this still wasn’t the way to do things!

As such, Chu Tiansong went to find the two leaders to complain.

Even Lord Chu couldn’t help but come find Chu Yu, "Brother, stop trying, I will bring you to... mm, you know where."

Chu Yu looked at Lord Chu speechlessly, "Go go go, don’t disturb me, that can wait till after I have refined a pill!"

After getting rid of Lord Chu, there were also a bunch of "caring" elders and siblings, but Chu Yu continued to be engrossed in his pill refinement.

By the thirtieth day, Chu Yu finally refined a weaker version of the cultivation pill.

At that point, Chu Yu was so overwhelmed with emotion he wanted to cry.

This was too damn difficult!

All of the Chu Clan medicine masters surrounded him to take a look. After seeing it, they were all expressionless.

They rolled their eyes, not even willing to comment.

The pills were grey, had no color, no medicinal aroma, and looked like... a pile of burnt marbles.

"These are pills?"

Chu Tiannan rushed over upon hearing the news. He looked at Chu Yu suspiciously.

"Haha..." Chu Yu looked calm, his voice solemn, "Second Master, one cannot judge a book by its cover!"

Limitless - Chapter 95: Mom is a talent

Chu Tianbei and Song Yu did not know what soup that was, and were fairly unresponsive.

"Food?" Chu Tianbei looked at his son exasperatingly, "This is soup?"

"Mm, soup!" Chu Yu looked at his parents, his face serious, "Very delicious soup!"

"You brat, stop speaking rubbish, what exactly is this?" Chu Tianbei glared at Chu Yu.

Song Yu glanced at her husband. "Why are you so fierce? Just eat it, our son is being so filial by bring things some for us to eat, yet you have so many questions..."

As she spoke, Song Yu uncapped the bottle.

A strong aroma wafted out and waves of energy crashed outwards in an instant, filing the entire room.

Both his parents were stunned.

"How is it this fragrant?" Song Yu’s eyes glimmered.

Chu Tianbei was also shocked, "Such thick, saturated energy... what is this?"

Chu Yu replied, "I guess it should barely qualify as medicine? It should be able to let you... mm, attain the Invigorated Meridian Realm, maybe even letting you breakthrough a few stages!"

"Son... can this thing really let someone breakthrough?" Song Yu’s expression was filled with surprise.

However, she quickly remembered Chu Yu’s words, exasperation filling up her exquisite face, "Didn’t you tell us to use a microwave to heat it up?"

Use a microwave to heat up medicine?

Chu Tianbei looked at his son speechlessly.

Only he could think of something like that!

"Yea, quickly use the microwave, it’ll be done in two minutes!"

Chu Yu replied instantly.

Ok then...

Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were defeated. Song Yu brought both bottles of snake broth into the kitchen.

Father and son were the only two people left in the room.

Even though they had much to say to each other, they found themselves momentarily speechless.

After a long silence, Chu Tianbei looked at his son and asked, his expression calm, "What is your cultivation level now?"

Chu Yu looked at his father and said, "Invigorated Meridian Stage Two."

Chu Yu noticed that his father’s pupils shrunk momentarily upon hearing his cultivation level.

After which, Chu Tianbei nodded calmly, "Mm, not bad."

Seeing his father try to remain calm caused Chu Yu to laugh.

This was his father, slightly arrogant, but he was sure that his father was probably over the moon!

"Dad, at my current Invigorated Meridian Stage, I am virtually peerless, even a Xiantian cultivator may not be my match."

Chu Tianbei was stunned. He could suppress his emotions no longer, shock and disbelief filling up his face.

In this instant, tears began to form at the corners of Chu Tianbei’s eyes.

He blinked hard, then steeled himself, "Arrogance is a man’s greatest enemy, don’t let a little achievement get to your head. There are many talents in this world, and there is always someone better out there."

Chu Yu nodded vigorously, his smile wide.

"Mm, I will stay alert and humble..." Chu Tianbei felt an ache in his heart as he looked at the handsome young man in front of him.

His child had grown up!

Chu Yu’s eyes were filled with elements of maturity, no longer the willful boy he once was.

At this point, a thick aroma wafted into the room from the kitchen.

Song Yu was making a ruckus in the kitchen, "It is so aromatic, its aroma has penetrated the microwave!"

Soon after, Song Yu brought the piping hot snake broth out. Chu Tianbei could not help but take a whiff and exclaim, "It really is very fragrant!"

"Dad, mom, drink it whilst it is hot, I will protect you all in the meantime." Chu Yu said, "By that time, don’t be too shocked!"

Chu Yu had tried it before, this bottle of snake broth was relatively mild. When approaching one’s limits, one would be unable to drink any more. Thus, he was not worried that his parents would be hurt by the boundless energy.

After a few mouthfuls, Chu Tianbei and Song Yu put down their bowls, completely stunned, as they began training.

The surprise in their hearts building up to a maximum.

Even though they were from an underworld clan, their understanding of superior medicine was limited to the current era.

As such, they had never imagined that a single bowl of medicine could have such immense medicinal properties.

Chu Tianbei and Song Yu were both in a state of cultivation, whilst Chu Yu sealed the remaining broth inside a bottle.

He did not think that his parents would have reached their maximum point after just a few sips.

Based on what was left, he should be able to breakthrough some of his other relatives.

Chu Yu had tried it, the broth was most effective only on first consumption.

Drinking it again after breaking through caused the medicinal properties to fade drastically.

This would have been a waste of this medicinal soup. As such, he decided to give it to some of his relatives, and make the entire Chu Clan stronger as a whole.

No matter how powerful one person was, he was no match for an entire clan!

He would also leave some for his brother!

Chu Yu had already gleaned some information off his recent forays into the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

As his cultivation level increased, he could read and understand more content contained within the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

Chu Yu had gotten a large number of pill recipes, but the ingredients on the pill recipe... were mostly impossible to find.

However, it also said that one could refine the same pill by substituting those ingredients with medicine with similar properties.

However, the medicinal properties would be significantly weaker.

However, to Chu Yu, a weaker medicine was of little concern.

This was not the glorious era of cultivation. In the current world where cultivation levels were low, a slightly weaker pill would still be considered a superior item!

Chu Yu protected his parents whilst he searched for similar medicines to attempt to refine a weaker version of the cultivation pill.

The cultivation pill was extremely common in the ancient world, and it was a pill that people could not afford not to have.

This was a necessity to all cultivators!

An ancient cultivation pill could allow a martial artist to skip almost three to four months of hardcore training.

As for the weaker version, Chu Yu had no idea how effective it would be.

Early the next morning, someone came to visit.

Chu Yu smiled when he opened the door to take a look.

A tall and imposing man walked over. He was almost 2 meters tall and sported a wide grin. Upon seeing Chu Yu, he could not help but ruffle Chu Yu’s hair, "Xiao Yu, I heard you are back, so I came to visit."

This man was known as Lord Chu.

Yes, that is correct.

He was that powerful!

Lord Chu was one of the leaders of the Chu Clan, the eldest son of the Chu Clan leader, Chu Tianyu.

The Chu Clan was controlled by two families, the leader Chu Tianyu was in charge of dealing with external affairs whilst deputy Chu Tiannan was in charge of internal affairs.

Even though Lord Chu was the eldest son of the most influential family, he was not arrogant.

He was a little naive, sometimes to the point of being stupid.

He was not actually stupid, but sometimes he could be rather single-minded.

Simple and stubborn.

No one could change his mind after he set his mind to do something.

Lord Chu was five years older than Chu Yu. He had never stepped foot in the outside world, his knowledge coming solely from the Clan’s school.

Chu Yu was close to him since young. Simply based on their relationship, Chu Yu may even have a closer relationship to Lord Chu than his own brother, Chu Liang.

After all, Chu Liang left the base early on, and did not have much interaction with Chu Yu.

On the other hand, Lord Chu had brought Chu Yu around everytime Chu Yu returned home from break.

At that time, Chu Yu was still uncultivable. Even though the clan did not despise him, very little people would hang around with him.

Lord Chu did not seem to mind a single bit. He brought Chu Yu on crazy adventures every day, forging a deep relationship between them.

"Brother, I haven’t even gone to visit you." Chu Yu smiled.

Lord Chu smiled, "We are brothers, why do we need to be so calculative? I heard that my dad and second uncle are ecstatic about your return, you should go find them."

Chu Yu nodded, "Yes, I will visit them later."

As he spoke, Chu Yu scanned Lord Chu’s acupoints and meridians. He was surprised to find out that this cousin of his was already at Invigorated Meridian Stage One.

This took Chu Yu by surprise and he asked, "Brother, did you chance upon a good opportunity recently?"

Lord Chu was taken aback as he glanced at his surroundings sheepishly. He then looked at Chu Yu, mystified, "Xiao Yu, how did you know?"

Without waiting for Chu Yu’s reply, he whispered, "Later, I will bring you to a good place!"

"..." Chu Yu was speechless. He glanced at Lord Chu, "Does the leadership know?"

Lord Chu snickered and shook his head, "I didn’t tell them. I felt that this could help you recover. As such, since there were only a couple, I wanted to leave it for you. It isn’t that I am not filial..."

Chu Yu’s mouth twitched, warmth filling up his heart as he looked at Lord Chu, "Brother, didn’t they tell you that I have already recovered?"

"Really?" Lord Chu looked at Chu Yu in disbelief, "They only said that you may have recovered..."

At this point, a huge wave of energy fluctuations exploded from the room behind Chu Yu.

After which, a strong aura penetrated the roof and headed straight for the heavens!

Lord Chu was slightly taken aback as he stared at CHu Yu, wide eyed. He said, visibly surprised, "Did someone break through into the Invigorated Meridian Realm? Is it Seventh Uncle or Seventh Auntie? This feels similar to how I broke through..."

Similar?

Lord Chu, who had not been out of the Chu Clan’s premises still spoke with a heavy Northern Accent.

Chu Yu was stunned, in the course of a single day, one of his parents... had broken through?

At this point, the strong aura continued to build up!

"..." This stunned Chu Yu and he quickly turned back to enter the room.

Lord Chu followed behind.

Chu Yu had initially thought that the one who would break through would be his father. Surprisingly, the one who broke through... was his mother, Song Yu!

Song Yu sat there, her body radiating with the aura of an Invigorated Meridian martial artist, her body enveloped by a faint glow.

"This..." Chu Yu was stunned and he murmured, This is the glow of someone who is at least Invigorated Meridian Stage Five!"

He had not expected that his mother would reap such a huge benefit from her first contact with superior medicine!

It would seem that his mother’s talent... was relatively strong!

With a few sips of medicine, she had broken through so many stages in a single day!

His mother... was a genuine talent!

To be honest, a single pill to launch one into Xiantian was not a rare occurrence in the ancient times.

Of course, such a pill was not cheap, and the ordinary person on the street would not have access to it.

To be honest, Song Yu’s talent was rather terrifying, however, she did not place much focus on cultivation over the past few years. As such, she had not progressed faster than her peers.

Now that she had drunk this superior medicine, her talent had been truly brought to bear. At the same time, all of the energy that she had accumulated over the years had been harnessed in an instant.

Lord Chu stood behind Chu Yu, speechless, yet his heart was filled with awe; how did auntie become so strong all of a sudden? Her aura can completely suppress mine...

He was initially rather contented with his little achievement of breaking through to the Invigorated Meridian Realm. However, that contentment all but disappeared in an instant.

......

Limitless - Chapter 94: Heat it up in the microwave

"You’re courting death!" Xie Zhangchun’s face blushed, like the steamed crab.

No one had ever dared to mock him like that, Chu Yu was the first!

The key point was, to the best of his knowledge… the guy in front of him was ruined!

He was mocked by uncultivable trash?

"I will make sure you die a horrible death!" Xie Tianyu looked viciously at Chu Yu.

The other Xie Clan martial artists looked on with interest.

They thought that Chu Yu did not know better, didn’t he know what kind of situation he was in?

Seeing their expressions, Chu Yu burst out in laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You have the heart to smile when faced with death?"

"You really don’t know your limits!"

The few Xie Clan martial artists began to reprimand him.

Chu Yu looked at Xie Zhangchun, smiled and asked, "How old are you?"

"I am Forty-One this…" Xie Zhangchun stared at Chu Yu, his gaze cold, "Why are you asking this?"

"Where are you all from? Which clan? I do not have many enemies." Chu Yu asked flatly.

Song Hong had many enemies, but he had already fallen into the Qing Qiu abyss…

"Xie Clan."

Xie Zhangchun said arrogantly. He glanced icily at Chu Yu, "Are you done asking? If you are, you can go meet your maker."

"You’re so old, yet so dumb. Calling you an idiot would be complimenting you."

Chu Yu sighed, then attacked!

The nearest Invigorated Meridian martial artist to Chu Yu did not even have a chance to react.

Chu Yu’s fist impacted his heart. With a loud cry and a fountain of blood, he was killed, slumping to the ground.

Chu Yu was too fast, and he radiated with a powerful, intimidating aura, like that of a tiger hunting down its prey.

Xie Zhangchun was furious. He raged, "You sneak attack…"

"Calling you an idiot is really justified."

As Chu Yu spoke, he attacked two of the Xie Clan Invigorated Meridian martial artists.

Bang!

Kacha!

Both the Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists who were attacked by Chu Yu were killed instantly.

One got his throat shattered; the other had his entire chest smashed.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yu had killed three Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists.

The two remaining men were completely stunned.

These Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists had just entered society not long ago.

Even though this was an era where everyone was a cultivator, most of the martial artists were in the elementary Acupoint Charging stages.

Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists like themselves were considered true experts.

In the month that they were in the Dragon City, they did not see many Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artists.

They were all extremely confident as their egos got larger – they believed that they were true experts.

This changed upon meeting Chu Yu, someone who they disregarded as trash.

In the blink of an eye, he had killed three of them, and a revelation dawned on them.

In fact, Invigorated Meridian martial artists like themselves were no experts.

In the face of a true expert, they were so weak they couldn’t even withstand a single attack!

Xie Zhangchun felt a chill down his spine as his forehead filled with cold sweat.

Was this the battle power… of a piece of trash?

This was clearly a battle hardened general!

He was extremely ferocious!

Damn it, who had created the rumours?

Wasn’t it utter nonsense to call him a piece of trash?

This was especially so because Chu Yu’s battle technique was much like a ferocious mountain tiger!

If he had known this, he would have never dared to find trouble with Chu Yu.

Xie Zhangchun reacted quickly and attempted to escape!

This was no time to care about the safety of those around him. If he did not leave now, his life may also be in danger.

Kaboom!

A loud sound echoed out!

Chu Yu punched at the fleeing Xie Zhangchun!

This punch was like a huge mountain, crashing towards Xie Zhangchun at an unfathomable speed.

Xie Zhangchun cried out in rage. He harnessed all his energy and raised his hands to block.

Kacha!

The crisp sound of bones cracking echoed out.

Xie Zhangchun’s interlocked wrists were shattered!

Before he could scream, Chu Yu’s fist had already impacted the bottom of his throat.

The sound of bones shattering echoed out once again.

In the final moments of his life, Xie Zhangchun was filled with grief and regret.

In that flash, he thought of many things, his life… flashed through his mind like a movie.

The last image was that of Chu Yu calling him a huge idiot.

"I really am… a huge idiot!"

Xie Zhangchun’s body slumped to the ground.

The last remaining Invigorated Meridian martial artist was at Invigorated Meridian Stage Eight.

When he saw Xie Zhangchun about to flee, he had toyed with the idea as well, however, he saw Xie Zhangchun killed instantly by Chu Yu.

In that instant, his legs were rooted to the ground, all courage to run disappearing from his body.

His knees wobbled and he kneeled on the ground, shivering, "Don’t kill me…"

"Who sent you to kill me?" Chu Yu stared icily at this Xie Clan Invigorated Meridian Stage Eight martial artist.

"It… it was the decision of the influential figures in the pocket dimension." This Xie Clan Invigorated Meridian Stage Eight martial artist broke instantly.

"In the Xie Clan pocket dimension… what is the cultivation level of the strongest person?" Chu Yu asked flatly.

"Erm..." This man hesitated.

"Tell the truth!" Chu Yu yelled.

"It is King’s realm…" This man shivered, but told the truth.

King’s realm… was a bit of a pickle!

Chu Yu was taken aback, he had not expected that in the pocket dimensions of underworld clans, such strong opponents would exist.

Even though it was no match for the ancient schools, it was a great achievement for an underworld clan to have a King’s realm cultivator.

However, Chu Yu was not too worried.

Furthermore, a King’s Realm cultivator would be used to hold the fort and would not come out easily.

Even if he did come to settle this himself, didn’t Chu Yu still have his sworn brother?

After which, Chu Yu immediately killed the Xie Clan Invigorated Meridian Stage Eight martial artist.

After burying these people, and removing any trace of their presence, he quickly disappeared.

The Northern Chu Clan.

They lived within the ancient forests.

The infrastructure blended beautifully into the surrounding rivers and mountains. It was calm and serene, taken over by nature’s beauty.

Even though it was deep in the mountains, it was no backward.

They had full access to the latest technological advancements.

Ever since Chu Yu had made copies of the Superclass and sent it home, the Northern Chu Clan’s footprints had lessened significantly.

Recently, the ancient schools had all entered society. This news had taken over the front page of the news, and the presence of the Chu Clan slowly faded away.

Second elder Chu Tiannan was slightly disappointed. If they had gotten the Superclass earlier, the war between the Chu Clan and the Xie Clan could have been executed differently.

At the very least, it wouldn’t be such a high profile case.

However, with the exception of their archenemy the Xie Clan, no one paid much attention to the Chu Clan.

Even though they were influential in society, in the cultivation world, an underworld clan was a small fry.

If not for their relationship with Song Hong, the ancient schools would not even have given them a second glance.

As a result, the headquarters of the Chu Clan deep inside the ancient forest was calm and quiet.

However, the silence was broken the moment Chu Yu returned.

Those in the clan who did not know what happened all looked at Chu Yu with curious eyes.

They did not know why the ruined, ex-heir had become such a celebrity overnight.

Those who knew looked at Chu Yu with admiration!

The talented young master of the Chu Clan had returned!

Chu Yu did not go to visit the clan elders immediately. Instead, he went home to find his mother Song Yu.

"Mum, I’m back!"

Seeing the same youthful, pretty and soft spoken lady, Chu Yu smiled, extended his arms and hugged his mum.

Song Yu patted Chu Yu’s back, smiling, tears forming in her eyes.

These few months, she had seen too much news about her son, causing her to worry to the point of insomnia.

However, she was clear that she could not interfere too much in her child’s growth, even limiting the number of calls she made!

Else, Chu Yu may be affected by it, impeding his growth.

As such, even though it was incredibly torturous, Song Yu never revealed it.

Even when speaking with her husband, Chu Tianbei, she… never gave the impression that she was affected by it.

However, the spouses knew each other too well.

They knew all too clearly that both were worried for their son.

Now that their child was back, Song Yu could finally heave a sigh of relief. All her pent up emotions could finally be released.

However, her cultivated meant that she still carried herself rather elegantly in front of her son.

"It’s good that you’re back, come, let mum take a look, are you more handsome now?" Song Yu discreetly rubbed her eyes, a smile on her face.

Song Yu looked young, even though she was in her forties, she looked like she was 28.

She did not even have any wrinkles!

When she stood together with Chu Yu, those who did not know better may have thought that they were siblings.

"Mum, I have some good stuff for you!"

In front of parents, no matter how great the achievement, children will always remain as children.

Chu Yu could not wait any longer to show her the treasure.

At this point, a booming voice came from outside, "You punk, I knew you would come back to see your mum. I heard you’re giving your mum something good, where’s mine?"

A tall imposing figure walked in from outside.

Chu Yu looked at the approaching man and giggled, "Dad, I was just looking for you…"

The man who entered was Chu Tianbei, who had just received news that his son was back.

When the child travels, the parents worry!

However, men tend to be colder and less prone to expressing their emotions. However, deep down, they were just as worried as the mother.

Upon knowing that his son had returned, Chu Tianbei rushed home immediately.

Chu Tianbei also looked youthful. Even though he was in his forties, he still looked like he was in his thirties. He looked extremely handsome.

He looked at Chu Yu and pursed his lips, "Stop buttering me up, you didn’t even give me a call."

Chu Yu giggled before retrieving two sealed bottles from the storage ring. "Pour it out, find a microwave and heat it up, I brought this for you."

Microwave…

He wondered what the reaction of the rest would be if they heard this.

Would they go crazy?

Limitless - Chapter 93: Huge Idiot

Even though the two beasts had yet to finish their bowl of serpent broth, but they were both meditating.

When Chu Yu opened his vertical eye, he was awed by what he saw in their current state.

Lord Thief had already entered Acupoint Charging Stage 12!

Old Yellow... had already broken through to the Invigorated Meridian Realm!

The acupoints and meridians of beasts were vastly different from those of a human.

They were much simpler when compared with human ones.

For lifeforms such as Lord Thief who have entered Acupoint Charging Stage 12, their next step was to enter the Invigorated Meridian Realm!

Under the observation of his vertical eye, Chu Yu could clearly see the spread and direction of Lord Thief’s energy.

A thin thread of energy carried with it immense energy. The energy was rushing at one of the meridians, almost as if it was going to break through to the Invigorated Meridian realm.

As for Old Yellow, it was trying hard... to break through to Invigorated Meridian Stage Two!

The techniques and methods that they were using before were relatively limited in terms of quality.

In actual fact, any demon with access to a cultivation technique was quite admirable!

It was considered great luck and opportunity for a demon.

Most demon life forms could only advance based on their own talent.

For the lucky ones, they could break through to a higher level if they chanced upon a pill or a fruit with a large amount of spiritual energy.

For the ordinary ones however, they could only feel their way about the darkness.

Techniques and scriptures were basically just rumors to the demons.

Not to mention superior techniques, those were only found in legends!

But Lord Thief and Old Yellow had actually gotten the Superclass from Chu Yu!

This was truly a superior technique!

One that could measure up to the best in the universe!

Anyone and anything could learn the teachings of Confucius.

Any life form with the Superclass could train with it.

For something as fundamental as the Superclass, one did not even need much talent.

As long as one was willing to learn, human or demon, one could cultivate with it!

Of course, the final level of cultivation that can be achieved... is also based on one’s talent.

Any demon who could get their hands on a saint’s teachings... was probably the one in a billion.

Neither Chu Yu nor the two beasts knew how lucky they were!

They were basically ahead of all the other demons, gaining something that all the other demons could only dream of!

No one could say for sure if they could become demon saints.

But for now, in the foundation stages, they were already in a more advantageous position!

Chu Yu observed Lord Thief and Old Yellow happily.

He glanced at the remaining broth and hesitated for a moment before retrieving a few airtight containers from the kitchen and storing the remaining broth in his storage ring.

He would bring the rest of this broth home for his parents!

After a quick calculation, he realized that it has been a long time since he was last home.

With all the things that have happened recently, it is about time he returned home to see his parents and relatives.

After all, they are the people he is closest to in this world.

Chu Yu helped Lord Thief and Old Yellow along whilst he continued gleaning information off the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

Through the chance opportunity from the snake broth, Chu Yu truly understood the terrifying powers of the ancient pill masters.

It was no exaggeration that a single pill could launch someone into the Xiantian Realm.

According to Chu Yu’s previous understanding, any pill who could launch someone into Xiantian would bring about serious side effects.

He was under the impression that cultivation was the accumulation of many days of effort and hardwork to breakthrough.

He was certain that by using the immense power in the pill to breakthrough, one was bound to suffer serious side effects.

This was also the problem faced by everyone in the cultivation world today.

The "experts" who had been forced into the higher realms with resources and pills were no better than those who had gotten there through sheer hard work.

However, after learning the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, Chu Yu finally understood how myopic his impression was.

The only reason why pills nowadays can’t achieve the same effect is because the superior techniques... were long lost!

The genuine superior pill refining techniques were flawless!

In fact, the ancient cultivators had already thought of the issue of poor fundamentals when pills are used to break through.

They had also addressed the problem after many aeons of experiments and theories.

A pill which could launch one into the Xiantian Realm did not only contain raw power!

There were also many ingredients whose presence would confuse the majority of people, but were in fact key ingredients.

For example, in the foundation pill, there were healing medications to mitigate the damages from breaking through; there were strengthening medications to increase the thickness of blood vessels; there were medications to aid in focus.

Apart from these, there were many other unexpected medicinal characteristics mixed inside.

A knowledgeable cultivator may not be a pill master, but any genuine pill master was definitely a peerlessly knowledgeable cultivator!

Pill refining... was a large and complicated process!

One needed immense talent and awe-inspiring knowledge!

Not everyone could be a pill master.

Some became disciples of pill masters, but could only make it as a fire assistant...

Others learnt for only three years and could already be trusted with a furnace on their own!

Anyone who came to the conclusion that the ancient pills had great loopholes based on some assumptions could only be described in one way.

Ignorant!

The Immortal Crane Pill Scripture had opened up a new avenue for Chu Yu.

The door to the ancient days, the glorious days of cultivation was now wide open for him!

After attaining Invigorated Meridian Stage Two, he can now read more of the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture.

He was completely captivated by the knowledge contained in the scripture.

Five days later.

Lord Thief and Old Yellow woke up one after the other.

Lord Thief had entered Invigorated Meridian Stage Three!

Old Yellow was one better, he had broken through to Invigorated Meridian Stage Six!

In the short span of a few days, the progress of the pair of beasts was astonishing.

Interestingly, the first thing that the two beasts did after they woke up was to find their leftover snake broth!

This bowl of broth was a true divine medicine for them!

Upon realising that the bowls were missing, the two beasts began to worry and look for Chu Yu.

Chu Yu pointed to the fridge.

Old Yellow pursed his lips and said, "Why would you put it in the fridge? How can medicine like this go bad? Even if you left it out here for 10,000 years it would be fine!"

Chu Yu said flatly, "I was afraid it would be lost."

"More like you would have taken it for yourself!"

Old Yellow rolled its eyes and sprinted to the fridge. It flung the door open and retrieved its bowl of soup, cuddling it like a darling.

Lord Thief did the same. Only after it had the bowl of broth safely in its claws did it relax.

"Do you two want to continue drinking and break through?" Chu Yu glanced at them.

The pair nodded vigorously.

Old Yellow replied, "You should learn the Crane Saint’s teachings quickly!"

"Yes, stop being distracted; a pill master is an honourable profession." Lord Thief said flatly.

After consuming the bowl of serpent broth, the two beasts have also experienced the terrifying powers of a superior pill master.

Even the best cultivators, when faced with a great pill master… would only be seen as weak?

Could the cultivator make a bowl of serpent broth which could let life forms breakthrough continuously?

Chu Yu left them to cultivate whilst he brought the remaining snake broth with him and left the Dragon City.

It was only three months since Chu Yu’s incident on Mount Tai!

But Chu Yu had changed in many ways.

Even though he knew that he was never truly wasted, in the eyes of the commoners, he had been ruined for 16 years.

How far could a former talent progress in such a short time?

Even though "Song Hong" had given him a pill, he should be Acupoint Charging Stage Eight or Nine at most? That was quite the overestimate!

Many people thought the same way, including the Xie Clan.

Xie Zhangchun was an elder in one of the Xie Clan pocket dimensions.

Although he looked young, he was already in his forties. He was tall and bulky and had an imposing face, bringing with him a defensive aura.

During this time, he had brought along a few people to the Dragon City to spy on the Chu Clan’s movements.

He wanted to avenge the Xie Clan!

Decades of businesses in Yan Jing had been completely broken by the Chu Clan in a single night.

This was no small feud!

It was enough for the Xie Clan to begin plotting their revenge.

What made this worse was that Xie Tianyu and two Acupoint Charging Stage Eight martial artists were slaughtered shortly after they retreated back to Luoyang, seriously damaged.

This had driven the Xie Clan completely crazy.

Including those in the Xie Clan pocket dimension.

Even though Fan Jian, the heir of the thief sect, had openly admitted to killing Xie Tianyu and the two Acupoint Charging Stage Eight martial artists, the Xie Clan still put the blame on the Chu Clan.

This was because they could not afford to antagonize Song Hong or Fan Jian…

But the Chu Clan was also like them, merely and underworld clan!

Xie Zhangchun had arrived in the Dragon City for almost a month, but could not pick up any trace of Chu Yu.

Chu Tianxiong, and the rest of the Chu Clan, was also keeping a low profile.

They did not show themselves very often in the day.

This irritated and frustrated Xie Zhangchun.

He only wanted to kill Chu Yu!

Since Xie Tianyu from their clan had died, Chu Yu from the Chu Clan… had to die too!

He was the root cause of these catastrophes!

This was the general consensus of the leaders of the Xie Clan pocket dimension.

Thus, he was sent here.

Xie Zhangchun was once termed as a Heaven’s Pride talent!

At such a young age, he was already in the advanced stages of Invigorated Meridian Stage 12!

He was just one step away from attaining Xiantian and becoming a true cultivator.

This time, he had come for one other reason.

Xie Zhangchun wanted to kill Chu Yu and make it his first battle since entering society!

He had wanted to use this battle to alert everyone to the fact that the Xie Clan had a powerful figure!

He found no issues with his choices.

The feud between the two clans ran long and deep!

Everyone in this society repaid their debts and avenged their fallen.

There was no problem with this choice!

Chu Yu’s reputation preceded him, but his power… should not be too much cause for worry!

He believed that Chu Yu’s murder would cause the entire China to explode in conversation!

At that time, Xie Zhangchun would become famous for the murder of Chu Yu.

Not long after Chu Yu left the villa, he got a feeling that he was being watched.

He did not acknowledge the fact, choosing to leave the Dragon City sneakily. He could clearly feel that five men were following him out of the city in the darkness.

He paced along leisurely like a leopard taking a stroll in the fields.

Elegant and measured.

His entire body was filled with explosive power, but he kept it suppressed on the outside.

Very quickly, Chu Yu was over 200 miles from the Dragon City.

Xie Zhangchun, together with his fellow Invigorated Meridian martial artists looked at each other and decided to kill Chu Yu here.

Zoom zoom zoom!

The five of them picked up speed instantly!

The full speed of an Invigorated Meridian martial artist was relatively shocking.

Within a few moments, they had caught up to Chu Yu.

The five men surrounded Chu Yu.

Xie Zhangchun looked mockingly at Chu Yu and asked, "Little wastrel from the Chu Clan, do you know who I am?"

"You look like…" Chu Yu frowned as he spoke, almost as if he was trying to recall something.

Xie Zhangchun was slightly shocked, this was the first time he had entered society.

Furthermore, he wasn’t the one keeping tabs on Chu Yu at the villa. This was the first time he was meeting Chu Yu, yet Chu Yu seemed to recognize him.

This confused him.

"Who do I look like?" Xie Zhangchun looked at Chu Yu.

"You look like…" Chu Yu had a sudden revelation, "Like a huge idiot!"

Limitless - Chapter 92: Another level!

After half a day of rest, Chu Yu finally regained some of his strength and stood up, feeling as if his body was going to fall apart at any point.

He stumbled over to the remaining half of the serpent, the bottom half.

It was still moving.

Even until now, the bottom half of the serpent was still writhing.

Chu Yu grabbed the tail of the serpent and coiled it, examining it closely.

The silver scales of the serpent were evenly spread and unbelievably tough.

Chu Yu tried to remove a couple of scales from the body but to no avail.

"Do you two recognize this fella?" Chu Yu asked Old Yellow and Lord Thief.

"Never seen it before." Old Yellow shook its head.

"Me neither." Lord Thief added, "But this fella is a Xiantian lifeform, how terrifying!"

"Indeed, f*ck it, I couldn’t even get close to it." Old Yellow was slightly troubled.

Back in his old territory, he was extremely influential and powerful, almost like a little demon king.

Only now did it realize that it couldn’t even qualify as a small demon!

This realisation made it rather depressed.

Lord Thief also experienced something similar, it was carefree back in its old roaming grounds.

Since it could fly, it did not even care about some of the land based life forms of higher cultivation level.

Only after meeting Chu Yu did it realize that flying would not allow it to escape every time.

After meeting the silver serpent, this feeling became deeper, the opponent was too powerful!

It was so strong that Lord Thief did not even have a chance to resist.

However, both Old Yellow and Lord Thief had the benefit of each other and Chu Yu to guide and encourage each other.

Old Yellow said, "We have superior teachings!"

"We will become stronger!" Lord Thief nodded.

"In the future, we will be able to roam the world freely!" Lord Thief said, his expression serious.

"I feel that our goal should be the entire universe!" Old Yellow said, seemingly sophisticated.

Chu Yu looked at the two beasts with exasperation before asking, "Lord Thief, how did you get caught? Don’t you know how to fly?"

Lord Thief writhed, not really willing to share.

Old Yellow snickered at the side, "The black robed man brought the silver serpent and entered our residence, letting us find them on purpose. Sparrow here thought that hostages had presented themselves and went forward to taunt them, flying... mm, slightly too low."

Lord Thief said, visibly annoyed, "Who would have thought that the snake would be so strong? It used its Xiantian powers to suppress me and immobilize me from mid air..."

Chu Yu facepalmed and glanced at Lord Thief in disbelief, "Be more careful next time."

"Mm, it won’t happen again!" Lord Thief promised, "If something similar happens, I will fly much higher... and keep a safe distance!"

Old Yellow was sombre, "Then what about me?"

"You can fart!" Lord Thief replied.

"Sparrow, you ingrate, you would be dead if not for me!" Old Yellow rolled its green eyes.

Lord Thief said unreasonably, "The key is that I am stating a fact too, your fart is very stinky!"

"Say that again!" Old Yellow raged.

Chu Yu looked at the two fellas, "You two jerks, just give it a rest. Anyways, how should we eat this half of the snake? I think such a Xiantian realm lifeform would be extremely delicious."

"I think it isn’t as nice as fried sparrow." Old Yellow murmured.

"Yea, at least it would be pleasant smelling..." Lord Thief rebutted.

"Do you all want to eat it?" Chu Yu looked at Old Yellow and Lord Thief, "Then I’ll have it myself?"

"Eat!"

"Eat!"

The two beasts had similar responses.

"How should we eat it?" Chu Yu asked.

"Snake broth!" Old Yellow licked its lips.

"Deep fry it." Lord Thief suggested.

"It’s not as nice as fried sparrow." Old Yellow said with seriousness.

"If you say that again I will really get angry!" Lord Thief glared at Old Yellow.

The pair continued to suggest multiple methods of eating, from steaming, to roasting, to stir-fry...

However, they ended up deciding on snake broth. It would be nutritious and delicious.

In the end, Chu Yu brought the half of the silver serpent back to the villa in the Dragon City. He then removed the skin with much difficulty.

Chu Yu proceeded to cook under the direction of Old Yellow.

He did not expect that Old Yellow was actually a connoisseur, and had expertise in cooking.

It guided Chu Yu along the steps to prepare the snake broth.

However, after an extended period of time cooking the snake, they realized that it was still raw! Ordinary cooking utensils could not cook the serpent!

At last, Chu Yu used the magma fire from the Immortal Crane Furnace to solve that problem.

The Crane Saint would have never have thought that the sacred Immortal Crane Furnace, after being revived after so many years, would not actually be used for refining pills.

Instead, it would first be used to smash people, then used to smash people again, before... being used to cook a Xiantian lifeform.

How uncultured!

However, one had to admit that the Immortal Crane Furnace was of great use!

This time, for some unknown reason, the magma fire was relatively obedient. Without much need for Chu Yu to command it, it controlled its temperature well and stewed the meat.

This was the power of a spiritual fire. If used properly, it could be of immense help to a pill refining master.

As the broth braised away, waves of rich aroma wafted from the furnace!

Old Yellow and Lord Thief salivated by the side, their eyes filled with awe.

Chu Yu had also stumbled upon the right tools to cook the serpent.

The Immortal Crane Furnace was the magical equipment of a saint, and it had been used to refine countless superior pills, retaining limitless spiritual power within.

This was why the pill furnaces of the most superior masters would have greater effectiveness when refining pills.

Even though it had been many years, upon activation, the unimaginable spiritual energy stored within gushed out and infused into the serpent broth.

The reaction and effectiveness had far exceeded the expectations of Chu Yu, Old Yellow and Lord Thief.

Even though this serpent was just a Xiantian lifeform, its blood was relatively awe inspiring. It had limitless potential for growth; its bloodline was that of a demon saint!

The silver serpent was part of a Heaven’s Pride Demon. Even though it was much younger than the others, it broke through quicker than everyone else.

All the elders thought that it had a chance to attain a higher cultivation level.

However, it was killed by Chu Yu and braised.

This broth simmered for a full seven to eight hours.

By the end, even Chu Yu was stunned.

He had been researching into the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture, and had learnt a great deal from it.

When he saw the fully cooked serpent broth, he had realized that the delicacy had already become a cauldron of medicine!

Even though it was still in a milky white soupy state, but it contained an unimaginable amount of energy!

Chu Yu got himself a bowl, cooled it down and tasted it, his eyes wide with awe!

It was extremely delicious, so much so that he almost wanted to swallow his tongue as well. However, there was more to it! The energy infused inside the broth had already given him a floating, divine feeling.

His entire body felt free!

His entire body radiated with a strong wave of energy!

Chu Yu could clearly feel the changes in his body. The vast endless energy infused in the snake broth became immense power that accumulated at his Dantian.

Then, it spread throughout all his vessels and to his extremities.

This... was superior stuff!

Chu Yu stared widely at the cauldron before gulping down the rest of the soup.

His body quickly accumulated a vast amount of energy. Under the direction of the mysterious purple gas in his body, the energy rushed straight at his Liver Meridian!

This was the power of a superior Heart Technique!

It was almost spiritual, and it could autonomously direct energy in the body to break through new barriers!

Furthermore, according to the Superclass, the second Meridian Chu Yu needed to break through was the Liver Meridian!

By training with the Superclass, the process of breaking through his meridians became a lot smoother.

All the Acupoints on the Liver Meridian released an unfathomable amount of energy in unison and continuously attacked the shackles on the Liver Meridian.

Previously, something like that would have been completely unfathomable for Chu Yu.

A cauldron of serpent broth had actually allowed him to breakthrough once again!

This breakthrough was also much faster than usual.

It was something that he did not think was even possible!

Within a single night, the entire Liver Meridian was broken through!

In the moment that Chu Yu entered Invigorated Meridian Stage Two, the unrestrained feeling made him want to roar into the sky.

However, Chu Yu suppressed his excitement. Upon inspecting his Heart Meridian and his Liver Meridian with his vertical eye, he noticed that there was a purplish golden color about it.

The power in the meridians was like a raging river, endless.

At the same time, his heart and liver were coated with a purplish golden glow.

This was a layer of protection!

The reason why the strongest were so powerful and difficult to kill was because in the course of their upgrading, all of their organs would have such protection.

In the elementary stages, viruses would be unable to enter the body and the organs would be many times more powerful than an ordinary person. In the intermediate stages, the organs would have a strong shield, even if it was damaged, it could recover at an astonishing rate.

If one could cultivate to the highest levels, the organs in the body could complement each other and attain the sacred art!

One would have be incredibly powerful!

Under normal circumstances, Chu Yu’s organs should not develop such defences at his current level.

However, the Heart Technique that he was using was a superior technique!

With it, what had previously seemed impossible had also become possible.

Furthermore, the mysterious purple gas inside Chu Yu’s body was also changing the layout of his body. Ordinary Invigorated Meridian martial artists had a faint yellow glow on their meridians. However, the meridians which Chu Yu had broken through were purplish golden!

This meant that even though Chu Yu was only at Invigorated Meridian Stage Two, his battle power was already equivalent to that of an elementary Xiantian cultivator!

Other than the fact that he could not use the sacred art, he was no weaker than a Xiantian cultivator.

He let out a long sigh and looked at the Immortal Crane Furnace, his eyes glimmering.

Even though a Xiantian Realm serpent with a superior bloodline was powerful, it was unlikely that it could bring about such benefits.

In Chu Yu’s opinion, the Immortal Crane Furnace.. had played a bigger role.

"I had only used it to simmer a cauldron of broth... if I used it to refine a pill, what kind of effect could it have?" Chu Yu felt his already powerful heart race.

He turned to look at Lord Thief and Old Yellow and smiled.
