Murong Tuohai took a deep breath and continued to practice his cultivation technique, carefully modifying the shape of the energy barrier.
But not long after the modification.
Bang!
Another explosion rang out, and the energy barrier that had yet to take shape exploded once more, shattering the surrounding floorboards and filling the air with dust.
Murong Tuohai let out a long sigh, the disappointment and helplessness on his face increased.
"Master, you've been in seclusion for many days and haven't had a single drop of water. You must take care of your body!"
"Master, you're old and your body is no longer the same as when you were young. You must not overwork yourself!"
Outside the wing room, the elders tried to persuade him. Their voices were full of worry. They clearly could not bear to see Murong Tuohai work so hard.
Murong Tuohai did not listen to their advice and insisted on going his own way, "No! In my lifetime, I must improve the family's inherited cultivation technique. Otherwise, our family will be reduced to a second-rate family! "
After saying that, Murong Tuohai started to practice his cultivation technique again.
Then, there was another explosion. The air vibrated and shook the windows of the wing room.
Murong Tuohai coughed heavily. Then, he remembered something, "Oh right, do you know where Xiao Xue is?"
An elder replied guiltily from outside the door, "I'm sorry, Master. We don't know where Eldest Miss is yet."
"Sigh..." Murong Tuohai shook his head and sighed again. The family had been seriously cut off. Although his granddaughter Murong Xue's cultivation had been hindered because of the leech pods, she had at least awakened an Earth level martial soul.
With the accumulation of a large amount of resources, her strength would not be too far behind. If one day, they could get rid of the leech pods in her body, then everything would become clear.
But because she could not stand the ridicule of her fellow clansmen, she secretly ran away from home and had yet to return. If she was careless and died outside, the Murong family would really have no successor!
Just as Murong Tuohai was feeling melancholy, a panting voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, Eldest Miss is back!"
"What!"
Murong Tuohai was shocked and immediately jumped up from the praying mat, "Where is she? Tell her to come see me quickly! "
As soon as Murong Tuohai finished speaking, a sweet female voice rang out from outside the door. "No need, Grandpa. I'm already here."
Creak!
The door was pushed open, and a young girl walked in from the outside.
The girl looked to be about 18 years old. She wore a green wreath on her head and wore a dark green dress. She gave off a natural beauty.
Without a doubt, this young girl was Lin Na who'd gone through fire and water with Lin Yun in the ancient tomb!
But now, her name was no longer Lin Na. It was Murong Xue.
Seeing that his granddaughter had returned, Murong Tuohai was both excited and reproachful as he asked, "Xiaoxue, where have you been for the past year?!"
"Grandfather, don't be in such a hurry to scold me. This time, I ran away from home and gained something you'd never expect!" Murong Xue hurriedly said when she saw that Murong Tuohai was about to scold her.
"Oh? Then why don't you tell me what you've gained from leaving home for a year? "Murong Tuohai asked teasingly. He didn't seem to be looking forward to Murong Xue's gains.
Murong Xue didn't answer directly. Instead, she turned to the elders and said, "Uncles, I'd like to speak with Grandpa in private. You can go ahead and do what you need to do."
Murong Tuohai turned to the elders and nodded. Only then did the elders consciously take their leave.
After all the elders had left, Murong Xue sat down cross-legged on the praying mat. Then, she began to circulate her family's inherited cultivation technique.
A pyramid-shaped energy barrier quickly formed around Murong Xue's body.
Large amounts of vital energy gathered towards Murong Xue from all directions. It was trapped in the pyramid-shaped energy barrier and became denser and denser.
In the blink of an eye, the vital energy within the golden tower's energy barrier had become terrifyingly dense. It was at least twice as dense as the spherical energy barrier!
Murong Xue's delicate body was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the vital energy within the barrier.
"This is …" Murong Tuohai's eyes widened. His pupils constricted as he stared in disbelief at the pyramid-shaped energy barrier. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Murong Xue raised her head to look at Murong Tuohai. She smiled sweetly. "How was it, Grandpa? I told you that my gains this time were unexpected, right?"
"It was unexpected indeed. I didn't even dream of it!" Murong Tuohai was extremely excited. It was as if he'd seen the most unbelievable thing in the world. His eyes went from bewilderment to shock, then from shock to fanaticism.
In the end, his gaze became more and more infatuated. It was as if he'd seen the art he'd been pursuing for his entire life.
"It's been improved!" Murong Tuohai's voice trembled as he spat out these three words.
Three generations of his ancestors had painstakingly researched this technique for a hundred years, but they still couldn't improve it. Yet, this eighteen -year-old granddaughter of his had actually improved it.
Furthermore, she'd improved it so perfectly that her cultivation speed had more than tripled. This was simply inconceivable!
Murong Tuohai even suspected that he was dreaming.
"The energy barrier's shape shouldn't be spherical. It should be pyramid-shaped. This is because only a pyramid-shaped structure is beneficial for absorbing vital energy … "Murong Xue repeated exactly what Lin Yun had told her to Murong Tuohai, word for word.
Murong Tuohai felt as if he'd been hit in the head. He instantly came to a realization. "So that's how it is. No wonder I kept failing. It was because the energy barrier's shape was wrong!
"I really didn't expect that a pyramid-shaped energy barrier would have such nature-defying effects!"
Murong Tuohai sighed. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice his cultivation technique again. He tried to improve the spherical energy barrier into a pyramid-shaped one.
In that instant, a large amount of vital energy gathered towards him. It was trapped within the pyramid-shaped energy barrier.
In the blink of an eye, the vital energy within the energy barrier became extremely dense. It was more than twice as dense as the previous spherical energy barrier!
"To be able to see my ancestor's inherited cultivation technique being improved to such perfection, even if I were to close my eyes right now, I'd still be smiling in the underworld! Hahahaha! "Murong Tuohai's tears streamed down his face. He was so emotional that he raised his head to the sky and shouted. He could barely control his emotions.
"Grandfather, calm down." Even Murong Xue hadn't expected Murong Tuohai to be this emotional.
When he heard Murong Xue's words, Murong Tuohai realized that he'd lost his composure. He coughed dryly and asked Murong Xue, "Xiao Xue, tell Grandfather the truth. What did you experience when you ran away from home?"
Murong Xue was Murong Tuohai's granddaughter. Murong Tuohai naturally knew better than anyone else how capable his granddaughter was.
He would never believe that this thousand-year cultivation technique had been improved by his granddaughter, Murong Xue!
