C15 Half a Month's Appointment

Xu Lei entered the Ancestral Shrine. His Qi and expression carried a kind of arrogance that was superior to others.

He did have the right to be arrogant.

"Xu Feng? Compared to me, what right do you have to compete for the position of Patriarch?"

Xu Lei looked at Xu Feng with disdain. At the same time, his Qi surged and pressed down on Xu Feng. Obviously, he wanted to give Xu Feng an ugly look.

Xu Feng's face was slightly pale, but he didn't show any other expression. His strength had only broken through to the fifth rank of the Martial Path, but the pain he suffered twice had also tempered his willpower. If this Xu Lei wanted to use this kind of aura to make him look ugly, it was just a pipe dream.

Xu Feng resisted the pressure from Xu Lei. Xu Lei had a cold smile on his face, constantly increasing the Qi on his body, but Xu Feng did not show any specific signs. At most, his face was a little pale.

"Xu Feng, tell me. What do you have to compare with me? Your talent and strength are still your qualifications?"

Xu Lei asked again.

Xu Feng stomped his foot. The Qi on his body condensed into a ball, then like an ant eating an elephant, it flew towards Xu Lei's Qi.

Xu Lei didn't expect that Xu Feng would still dare to resist at such a disadvantageous moment. He didn't have the time to react and was forced to take two steps back by Xu Feng's Qi. His face couldn't help but turn pale.

"Xu Feng!"

Xu Lei couldn't help but shout angrily, as if he was angry from embarrassment.

This was the first time he had suffered a loss at the hands of someone weaker than him. How could he endure this?

Xu Lei let out an angry shout, then he attacked Xu Feng. He stretched out his hand and threw a punch at Xu Feng.

Perhaps, not many people in the entire room could withstand this punch.

Xu Feng's facial expression remained unchanged. His palm turned slightly red as he received Xu Lei's punch.

The fist and palm collided. Xu Feng and Xu Lei took a few steps back at the same time. Xu Feng's face turned pale. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Xu Lei also did not have a good time. There were some burn marks on the surface of his fist, and his breathing was obviously not smooth.

"Xu Lei, what's the point of fighting in the Ancestral Shrine?"

Before Xu Yonghui could speak, Xu Tianci pretended to scold him, but in fact, he was reminding Xu Lei.

"Humph, I was just a little happy and wanted to have a fight with Xu Feng."

Xu Lei said coldly, his tone full of killing intent.

Xu Feng's strength was two grades lower than his, but he was still able to injure him. If this guy was allowed to break through to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer, wouldn't he be able to beat him up if he was at the same level as him?

He had to kill Xu Feng. When he was not strong enough, he had to kill him first!

Xu Lei's heart was filled with killing intent.

"How is it? Do I have the right to compete for the position of Patriarch?"

Although Xu Feng was injured, he felt relieved in his heart. That palm strike just now had sent out all the pressure he had received earlier.

"Humph! You have lost to me. Do you dare to compete with me formally?"

Xu Lei said in a gloomy tone.

If there was really a fight, he was confident that he could kill the current Xu Feng.

"Do you think it's reasonable for a Martial Arts Seventh Layer to challenge a fifth level martial artist?"

Xu Yonghui finally spoke at this moment.

"Only the strong can compete for the position of the family head. Xu Feng is weak and doesn't want to accept the challenge. Alright, you can withdraw from the competition for the position of the family head."

Xu Lei didn't show much humility in front of Xu Yonghui. This was the confidence he had in his own strength.

Xu Yonghui's face darkened. He naturally wanted Xu Feng to become the family head, but he didn't want his only grandson to take the risk. Therefore, his heart was filled with hesitation.

"Alright. I will accept your challenge, but it will take half a month. Don't tell me you won't even be able to wait for half a month?"

Xu Feng agreed with a deep voice. He had to fight this Xu Lei, and in half a month's time, he was confident that he could break through to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer and fight this Xu Lei.

"Alright, half a month, then I will wait for you for half a month! However, when the time comes, you better not run away!"

Xu Lei said with a cold smile.

"You can pray that when the time comes, you won't die too miserably!"

Xu Feng replied with a sneer.

This sentence made Xu Lei's face turn ugly again.

Xu Feng didn't have the right to participate in the secret realm's problem, so he just came out of the Ancestral Shrine.

However, he didn't return to his room, but waited outside.

Just now, Xu Yonghui gave him a look, signaling him to wait outside for a while. Naturally, Xu Feng also wanted an explanation from Xu Yonghui.

About half an hour later, all the elders in the Ancestral Shrine came out. When only Xu Yonghui was left inside, Xu Feng walked in.

Xu Yonghui was kneeling in front of the ancestral tablets with a look of shame on his face.

Hearing Xu Feng's footsteps, Xu Yonghui stood up and turned around to look at Xu Feng.

"Little Feng!"

Xu Yonghui's voice was a little choked up, and he looked at Xu Feng with a guilty expression.

Xu Feng did not say anything. Facing such a situation, he did not know what to say.

"Feng, I know you are feeling wronged. If you want to complain to me, grandpa can accept it."

Xu Yonghui lowered his head and said guiltily.

Xu Feng didn't say anything. He really didn't know how to express his feelings.

He had resentment and grievance in his heart, but when the time came, he didn't know what to say.

Xu Yonghui looked at Xu Feng's expression and couldn't help but sigh.

"When your father died, my power was gradually taken over. And your mother disappeared with it. I wanted to train you to be like your father, but your body was weak... I had no choice but to put you down. Pretend that I don't care. "

"All I did was to protect you from growing up safely!"

Xu Yonghui's last sentence made him feel helpless and bitter in his heart.

Xu Feng nodded quietly and called him "grandpa."

"Hey, good grandson!"

Xu Yonghui agreed excitedly and looked at Xu Feng with tears flowing down his face.

"Good grandson, you are really my good grandson. You are exactly the same as your father. It's just that your father is less domineering than you. You are even more outstanding than your father."

The grandfather and grandson exchanged greetings for a while, then they vented out the emotions in their hearts. After that, they began to discuss serious matters.

"Little Feng, do you have confidence in fighting Xu Lei?"

Xu Feng nodded. "Although I don't have absolute confidence, in half a month's time, my strength should be about the same as his. At that time, even if I can't beat him, it will at least be a draw."

"A draw?"

Xu Yonghui frowned and said, "I'm afraid a draw won't do. This time, Xu Tianci obviously wants to fight for the position of the patriarch. We must win, so that he doesn't have any thoughts of getting lucky."

"How about this, I'll ask for some Medicine Pill for you so that your strength can improve faster."

Xu Yonghui said.

Medicine Pill? Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat. What he didn't lack the most was herbs. If he had a good Pill Alchemist, perhaps he could bring out the greatest effect of the herbs.

Xu Feng nodded, then showed the ring on his hand.

"Grandpa, can you open this ring?"

"Storage Ring?"

Xu Yonghui's expression carried some surprise, "Where did you get this thing from?"

"This is Xu Youji's item. I think it was also something that was found from the restriction."

Xu Feng explained.

Xu Yonghui nodded and took the ring.

He poured his Yuan energy into the ring and a cold light shone from it. Then, a key appeared on Xu Yonghui's hand.

There was only one key?

Xu Yonghui and Xu Feng looked at each other in confusion.

"Could this key be one of the keys in the secret realm?"

Xu Yonghui guessed.

Xu Feng also nodded. Other than this explanation, there seemed to be no other explanation.

"You can keep these things for now. Also, be careful not to go out recently. I'm afraid Xu Tianci will not let this matter rest."

Xu Yonghui reminded Xu Feng.

Xu Feng nodded, but he was confident, so he was not afraid of anything.

After returning to his room, Xu Feng couldn't calm down for a long time. He had figured out some things today, and the key was that he could finally become a part of the Xu family's main branch. He had even fought for the right to become a part of the ___.

However, what happened next wasn't as simple as he thought.

It seemed like he was dreaming if he wanted to break through to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer in half a month's time. He had his own reliance, the mysterious bottle.

With that mysterious bottle, no matter how many herbs it was, he could take them out. Using the Medicine Pill to accumulate the Yuan energy in his body was naturally the fastest.

The next day, Xu Yonghui brought Xu Feng to pay a visit to the famous Pill Alchemist refining Master Yun.

This person was ___. Master Yun's strength seemed to have reached the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, but his greatest strength was not his martial arts cultivation, but his alchemy skills.

This man's skill in alchemy was well-known within a hundred mile radius. For some reason, he had some interactions with this Master Yun, and that was why he wanted to help Xu Feng obtain some Medicine Pill to quickly increase Xu Feng's cultivation base.

The reason why Xu Feng agreed so readily and even followed him was actually because he had another thought in mind.

He had a small bottle, which could be said to be an endless supply of medicinal herbs. If he learned alchemy, he could use the medicinal effects of the medicinal herbs better and would not worry about wasting it.

Hence, he came here this time to request medicinal herbs. As for whether he could obtain the Medicine Pill or not, he didn't care. Secondly, he wanted to become his master.

If he could learn alchemy from Master Yun, it would be of great use to his cultivation and future development in the future.

However, it might not be as easy as he thought. After all, a Pill Alchemist would not casually accept a disciple and teach him precious alchemy techniques.

Xu Feng pondered in his heart. The two of them had arrived at a small manor.

Although the manor was small, it gave people the feeling that it had everything, even though it was small.

In the small manor, there were all kinds of fake mountains and rivers. Of course, most of them were herbs.

All kinds of herbs were present. It was several times more than the herbs in the Xu family's medicine garden.

This was the true foundation of a Pill Alchemist! Xu Feng's eyes lit up. No matter what difficulties there were, he would definitely pay his respects to this master today!
