C253 I Am Still an Alchemist(2)

By the end of the conversation, even Lau Qinghan found it hard to believe.

“I have indeed been practicing body refinement, but I never claimed to focus solely on that!” Woo Zhengyang chuckled.

From start to finish, he never made a big deal about his energy cultivation. Most of the time, his body refinement skills were enough to handle any situation. Woo Zhengyang wasn’t one to brag, so many assumed he only practiced body refinement, including Lau Qinghan.

Facing his uncle, Woo Zhengyang had no reason to hide the truth.

“Not just body refinement... You practice both body and energy cultivation? But... your body refinement is already so powerful, and that energy just now was extraordinary, this...”

Lau Qinghan, already a bit flustered, couldn’t continue.

“Cousin... you... you’re incredible...” Lau Ruyan, standing nearby, was equally astonished, her lips slightly parted in shock.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm his surprise, Lau Qinghan asked, “So, what level is your energy cultivation?”

“My body and energy cultivation are at the same level now.”

“The same level... body refinement at Warrior level, so does that mean... energy cultivation... no, it’s the Reality Condensing Stage? Cousin, are you serious?” Lau Ruyan excitedly grabbed Woo Zhengyang’s arm, shaking it in disbelief.

Zhengyang reaching the Martial Master Stage through physical training was already impressive, but if he could also achieve it through energy cultivation, his status would be entirely different.

What if he reached the Martial Master Stage in both physical training and energy cultivation?

This possibility had never crossed the minds of Ruyan and Qinghan because they deemed it impossible. Yet, the impossible was happening right before their eyes, leaving them utterly astonished.

Even as they asked, Ruyan and Qinghan already knew the answer. Zhengyang was not one to speak lightly, and their repeated questioning was simply due to their disbelief.

Qinghan trembled with excitement, clenching his fists. "Feixu's son is truly exceptional... She would be so proud if she knew."

With that, Qinghan firmly grasped Zhengyang's shoulders and resolutely said, "Zhengyang, listen to me. Head back to the Profound Heaven Sect immediately and focus on your training. Don't get involved in the Lau family's affairs; it's not worth it. Ignore Moh Lunhui as well. With your talent, you are destined for great things!"

After speaking, Qinghan glanced at Ruyan and added, "I have no other wishes in this life. If you have the chance, just look after Ruyan..."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Ruyan interjected, pouting as if Qinghan was giving his last words.

Despite this, Ruyan's expression was somewhat gloomy. She knew that the Lau family's disaster was unavoidable this time. With Qinghan's unyielding nature, he would inevitably put himself in danger.

"Uncle, the most urgent thing is to heal your injury first," Zhengyang said softly, helping Qinghan to sit down.

Just a moment ago, Qinghan had been so agitated and excited that it aggravated his injury, and now he was showing signs of pain.

"Sigh... My injury, it's pointless to think about it. I know Qingfeng and the others used this pretext to persuade Ruyan, and you came along probably for the same reason. But they need Uncle Fu. Without him, how will they keep their promise? Besides, getting a spirit pill to heal my injury isn't easy. The Lau family is in turmoil now. Even if Qingfeng wanted to help, he couldn't."

Hearing this, Ruyan's eyes reddened, and she choked up, "Dad, as long as they agree to pay, I'll go wherever I need to get the spirit pill to heal your injury. Tomorrow, if the Lau family agrees, I'll rush back to the Heavenly Martial Academy to find out where I can buy one."

"Don't talk nonsense. You'll leave Bright Sun City with your cousin soon. I'll arrange for someone to escort you. Once you're back at the Heavenly Martial Academy, stay put, no matter what happens in Bright Sun City. When you graduate and have nowhere to go, find your cousin..."

"Uncle, I can actually heal your injury!" Zhengyang had to interrupt the conversation.

"What... Cousin, are you serious? You can really heal Dad's injury?" Ruyan wiped her tears and, without worrying about appearances, clung to Zhengyang's arm, shaking it eagerly.

"Alright, Zhengyang, you don't need to comfort me. I know my own injuries well. You don't have to use this as an excuse to make me leave Bright Sun City. With the Lau family in its current state, how could I possibly leave..."

Unlike Ruyan, Qinghan's experience made him more aware of the situation. He didn't believe what Zhengyang said and even suspected that Zhengyang was using this as a reason to get him to avoid the Lau family's troubles.

Zhengyang sighed, adding, "I'm telling the truth... I'm actually an alchemist..."
