After Huo Leqing and the other two left the courtyard, the master of the Huo family breathed a long sigh of relief.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Heti, seeing the palpitations in each other's eyes.
They originally thought that He Yiming was just a Xiantian expert, but now it seemed that Mr. He's martial arts cultivation had reached an unimaginable level.
"Brother Huo, Mr. He's cultivation is at least at One-Line Heaven, right?" Zhang Heti asked in a deep voice.
A wry smile appeared on Huo Leqing's face, "I used all my strength just now, but I couldn't figure out Mr. He's depth at all. But... "He hesitated for a moment," If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that Mr. He has already condensed a tangible flower. "
Zhang Heti sucked in a breath of cold air. Thinking of He Yiming's young face, his heart was filled with emotion.
Huo Hongsheng stole a glance at the two of them and said, "Father, Uncle Zhang, since Mister He has such a powerful martial cultivation, then can we ask him to stand up for our Huo Clan and participate in this competition?"
Huo Leqing's expression changed slightly, but then he shook his head, "Mr. He's martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, how can such an expert stand up for our Huo family?"
Huo Hongsheng said in a deep voice, "Father, I see that Mr. He favors Dongcheng, if we let Dongcheng plead, it may not be impossible."
Huo Leqing looked hesitantly at Zhang Heti, he pondered for a moment, "What Hongsheng said makes sense, but I'm afraid that Mr. He is an expert they invited."
Zhang Heti laughed, "Brother Huo, if they had the ability to invite such an expert, they would have the qualifications to live on the island long ago."
Huo Leqing thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Hongsheng, when Dongcheng comes out, let him come see me."
Huo Hongsheng respectfully responded, but in his heart, he secretly decided to get closer to Huo Dongcheng, this nephew he did not think highly of before.
Even if they could not be as close as father and son, at least he could not let him have a grudge against him.
※ ※ ※
The next morning, Huo Dongcheng left He Yiming's room.
When he left, there was a look of enlightenment on his face. Under He Yiming's guidance, he had already understood a little. Although he couldn't grasp the trick of using fire and water at the same time, he at least understood one principle.
If he wanted to break through to the sixth stage of his Internal Force, not only would he need to train his fire element technique to the peak of the fifth stage, he would also need to train his water element technique to the peak of the fifth stage. As for the other type of power that Mr. He mentioned, he was even more confused about it.
After leaving Mr. He's room this time, Huo Dongcheng immediately realized that the way the people around him looked at him was completely different from before.
Although no one dared to look down on this direct descendant of the family who couldn't break through to the fifth stage of Internal Force, their attitude towards him was far worse than that of the other third generation descendants.
This could be seen clearly in the eyes of the servants that Huo Leqing had personally trained.
But now, the attendants that guarded the surroundings of the courtyard could be said to be respectful and reverent towards him, forming a clear contrast with the past.
What made him feel even more at a loss was that the second generation descendant of the family, Huo Hongsheng, was personally waiting outside the courtyard. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and laughed, "Dongcheng, quickly come over."
Huo Dongcheng walked over obediently. His heart beat faster in the face of this second generation leader who was second only to the head of the family.
"Dongcheng, why did Mr. He ask you to stay in the room?" Huo Hongsheng asked pleasantly.
"Mr. He taught me some techniques to use my Internal Force and told me to cultivate my Water element Internal Force to the fifth stage. He also gave me a Golden Energy Pill," Huo Dongcheng said honestly.
Huo Hongsheng's expression changed slightly. Of course, he knew what an Energy Golden Pill was, but it was an extremely precious item even in the Huo family. Even he had only obtained one after reaching the eighth level of his inner force. However, Huo Dongcheng hadn't even met his teacher yet and Mr. He had already given him one.
This person's extravagance, wealth, and strength were probably far beyond their estimation.
Huo Hongsheng forced a smile and brought his nephew to Huo Leqing's residence.
Along the way, he forcefully suppressed the jealousy in his heart and asked Huo Dongcheng about his life with a gentle smile, which made the young man who had never left the house feel very touched.
After seeing Huo Leqing, Huo Hongsheng smiled and told him about Huo Dongcheng receiving the Golden Energy Pill. He Yiming also surprised Huo Dongcheng, but he also knew that He Yiming valued Huo Dongcheng very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given him such a treasure so easily.
Although the various forces on the Penglai Immortal Island of the Eastern Sea were very powerful, the elimination rate was also very high. If the family didn't have a Xiantian Realm master, then they basically didn't have the qualifications to live on the island.
Because the Eastern Sea was densely packed with islands, everyone wanted to enter the Three Great Immortal Islands where the Qi of Heaven and Earth was the thickest. Therefore, the intensity of the competition here was very high. It was far from what the Northwest or the mainland could compare to.
So it created a very strange phenomenon in this area.
As long as a super strong person was born in the family, then they could quickly rise, but with the fall of the masters, the speed of decline was also very fast. Those families or sects that had been passed down for thousands of years or even thousands of years could be counted on one hand. The heritage of each family was not rich. Pills like the Golden Energy Pill were rare items for a family with a Xiantian Realm master.
Now that he understood He Yiming's thoughts, Huo Leqing still put forward the idea in his heart after careful consideration.
Although Huo Dongcheng felt extremely embarrassed, but it was related to the future of the family, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
※ ※ ※
The next day, Huo Dongcheng came to He Yiming's room again. Under the guidance of He Yiming, he began to slowly cultivate his Water Internal Energy. But he was worried about something in his heart, so the effect of his cultivation was not good.
He Yiming frowned and said, "You have something on your mind. Could it be that you are reluctant to leave home?"
Huo Dongcheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Senior, I do have thoughts, but in order to pursue martial arts, not to mention leaving home, even if I have to go to a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I would not dare to frown."
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "I see that you have been practicing alone every night, and your hard work in martial arts is obvious to all. That is why I accepted you as a disciple on behalf of a friend. Otherwise, I would have abandoned you long ago."
Although his words were harsh, they were not entirely true.
A cultivator with three elements, even if it was such a rare three elements, if no Venerable knew about it, it would naturally be buried. But if it was known by the Venerable, then in all likelihood, he would try his best to recruit him.
Especially Chu Haozhou, if he knew that there was a young man with the same talent as him, then he would be overjoyed.
Therefore, regardless of whether Huo Dongcheng was willing to leave with him, He Yiming would not let him go. If he met Chu Haozhou one day, and Huo Dongcheng met someone else and was accepted as a disciple, then Chu Haozhou would want to cry but have no tears.
Huo Dongcheng naturally did not know about He Yiming's intention, so he said respectfully, "Senior, I know that you have painstaking efforts, and I will not let you down."
He Yiming nodded in satisfaction and said, "What are you thinking? Tell me."
Huo Dongcheng was overjoyed and quickly said, "Senior, I'm worried about the outer martial arts competition in a month's time. If my ancestor fights and loses, then the Huo family will lose the territory we currently live in and return to the small island where we used to live."
He Yiming was slightly startled and asked, "What martial arts competition?"
Huo Dongcheng hurriedly told him the whole story in detail.
On Penglai Immortal Island, other than the three major sects, there were hundreds of small forces living on the island.
Originally, with the territory of Penglai Immortal Island, even if there were hundreds of small forces, it would definitely be able to accommodate them. However, in order to limit the number of people entering the island and not let too many people share the Qi of Heaven and Earth here, according to the tradition of the island, except for the sects with Venerables, the other small sects could only accommodate 100 people.
Every 20 years, a martial arts competition would be held on the island to determine the ranking.
When the Huo family was at its peak 60 years ago, there were two Xiantian masters in the family, so they were able to obtain a place in the top 100. However, 10 years ago, the other Xiantian master in the family, Huo Leqing's father, failed when he tried to break through to the One-Line Sky, and finally exploded and died.
The reason why the Huo family was able to stay on Penglai Immortal Island three times in a row was because of this master who was closest to the One-Line Sky. Now that he had exploded and died, with Huo Leqing's strength, it would be difficult for him to persist until the end of the martial arts competition in a month's time.
After He Yiming heard this, he slightly frowned and said, "I see that your ancestor has a good relationship with Brother Zhang Heti, so why didn't you ask him to help?"
Huo Dongcheng immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, you don't know, but Grandpa Zhang is a Xiantian elder of the Qianshan Sect. He has already taken care of our Huo family. Even our Huo Clan's ships were borrowed by Grandpa Zhang, who lent them the Qianshan Sect's ships and docks. However, in this matter, whether it is the current three sects or the powerful sects on the island in the past, they all follow the tradition and don't dare to disobey. Even if Grandpa Zhang wants to help, there's nothing he can do. "
He Yiming was relieved, but he also understood why the Huo family was so powerful on the docks.
It turned out that all of this was the result of one of the three sects on the island, so it was no wonder.
He Yiming smiled faintly and said, "Dongcheng, even if I helped you this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to avoid the fate of being driven away next time."
Huo Dongcheng murmured, "Senior, this junior's Third Uncle has now cultivated his internal strength to the peak of the tenth layer. If he is given another ten years, he should be able to smoothly advance to the Xiantian realm. At that time, with two Xiantians in the family, we can basically guarantee a spot in the top 100. "
He Yiming pondered for a moment and looked at the pleading expression on Huo Dongcheng's face, and finally nodded slowly.
This matter was naturally a big deal for the Huo Family, but for the current He Yiming, it was just a small matter that he could do with a single thought.
