Murong Jingyue arrived and, after some pleasantries with Yang Pingtian, grabbed Yang Feilong and said with a smile, "Feilong, let's spar later!"
"This..." Yang Feilong was somewhat hesitant.
"Spar?" Hearing Murong Jingyue's words, Murong Qingxue and Murong Qiuyue covered their mouths and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Murong Haotian glared at the two girls and asked.
The others were also puzzled. In their eyes, Yang Feilong's combat power a year ago was comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and now, he was likely at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. A spar with Murong Jingyue was a reasonable request.
In fact, they also knew the reason why Murong Jingyue wanted to spar with Yang Feilong: to see if he could improve himself and then attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
"The number of Primordial Spirit stage cultivators who have died at Feilong's hands is unknown," Murong Qingxue said with a smile. "Grandpa sparring with Feilong won't be of any effect, I feel."
As soon as this was said,
The entire place erupted in an uproar.
"What? Quite a few Primordial Spirit stage cultivators have died at Feilong's hands?"
"Feilong has also broken through to the Primordial Spirit stage?"
"This, this... such a young Primordial Spirit stage cultivator?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Murong Jingyue looked at Yang Feilong in disbelief.
"You could say that!" Yang Feilong nodded. His current Lingxu stage was between the Primordial Spirit stage and the Void Refinement stage. Of course, it could also be considered the Primordial Spirit stage, and calling it the Void Refinement stage wouldn't be wrong.
In short, that was the situation.
"Then can you... see why I've been unable to break through?" Murong Jingyue immediately lowered his stance and asked Yang Feilong with a hopeful expression, looking like a humble student seeking advice.
Seeing their family's ancestor seeking guidance from their man, both Murong Qingxue and Murong Qiuyue felt incredibly happy.
Their current relationship with Yang Feilong could not be exposed yet. In fact, whether Murong Qiuyue was with Yang Feilong or Murong Qingxue was with Yang Feilong, it wouldn't matter much. But if both of them were with Yang Feilong, that would have implications.
This would only be acceptable if Yang Feilong's strength was sufficient to suppress all objections.
And now, Yang Feilong's strength was indeed enough!
Of course, it wasn't time to reveal it yet, as Yang Feilong's current strength was not yet enough to suppress all objections.
It was like the situation with Luo Xiangning and Yang Feilong back then; unless Yang Feilong appeared out of nowhere and suppressed all objections!
"Actually, I've already examined your body just now. Your soul has reached the threshold for breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage, and your Nascent Soul is also strong enough. By all accounts, you should be able to attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit stage," Yang Feilong said.
"Yes, I'm also very puzzled! Every time I attempt to fuse, I fail at the last moment. I don't know what the problem is!" Murong Jingyue said with frustration.
"It's because there are some hidden ailments in your Nascent Soul, and your soul is not sufficiently refined, as if you've used some elixirs to forcibly enhance your soul," Yang Feilong said. "As long as these two issues are resolved, you'll be able to smoothly fuse your soul and Nascent Soul, and then successfully break through to the Primordial Spirit stage!"
Hearing Yang Feilong's words, Murong Jingyue frowned and asked, "Then how can these two problems be solved?"
"It's easy to solve. After we finish eating, I'll clear the hidden ailments in your Nascent Soul and treat your soul. Then I'll guard you, and it shouldn't be a big problem!" Yang Feilong said.
"Good!" Murong Jingyue's face lit up with excitement. "Then thank you, Feilong."
"We're family now, no need to be polite," Yang Feilong said with a light smile.
Not only was Murong Jingyue happy, but the members of the Murong family were also ecstatic. If Murong Jingyue could break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, he would gain an additional two thousand years of life, and their Murong family would finally have a Primordial Spirit stage expert.
Murong Jingyue even thought that once he broke through to the Primordial Spirit stage, he would be qualified to lead the Murong family back to the main lineage.
When he was expelled from the family, he swore that he would not return to the main lineage until he broke through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
He wasn't insistent on returning to the main lineage, but if his strength wasn't sufficient, his vow would feel like an empty promise.
How could he be reconciled?
Especially now that he was hundreds of years old, if he didn't break through soon, his chances would become slimmer and slimmer, as his physical peak was approaching its end.
After eating, Murong Jingyue eagerly pulled Yang Feilong away to treat him.
Yang Feilong's cultivation now far surpassed Murong Jingyue's, so healing Murong Jingyue's hidden ailments was a piece of cake.
Moreover, before his master left, she had passed on her family's supreme medical arts to him. Now, his medical skills had greatly improved. To put it bluntly, in the entire Spirit Realm, including the mortal world, no one could surpass him in medical skills!
The only one whose medical skills surpassed Yang Feilong's was his master, but his master had already ascended.
...
"Will Feilong succeed?" Murong Haotian stood outside Murong Jingyue's residence with a nervous expression.
Not only him, but some direct descendants of the Murong family were also there.
They waited silently.
"He will definitely succeed!" Murong Qingxue said with certainty. "Feilong's medical skills are no less than his martial talent! If he says he can help Grandpa break through to the Primordial Spirit stage, then it's a sure thing!"
Seeing Murong Qingxue's proud expression, Murong Haotian secretly pouted. This pride of yours... it's like you're talking about your own man. Have you forgotten that you are a member of our Murong family?
Alas, he had previously thought that there shouldn't be anything between Murong Qingxue and Yang Feilong, and that she wouldn't do something like serving the same man as her niece. But now, even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to, because Murong Qingxue was too blatant, and too unreserved.
Thinking about it, his sister's personality was inherently straightforward, speaking her mind. If she fell in love with someone, she wouldn't hide it. It was only because Murong Qiuyue had also gotten together with Yang Feilong that she chose to conceal it somewhat. Otherwise, she would have revealed it long ago!
Of course, even if everyone knew about this now, they wouldn't say anything, because Yang Feilong was simply too outstanding. Not to mention his extraordinary talent and strength, his medical skills alone were enough to suppress many criticisms!
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from inside the house. Even those outside could feel its immense power.
The reason Yang Feilong didn't exude a powerful aura was because he had restrained it. Otherwise, some Primordial Spirit stage experts would have trembled under the pressure of his aura.
"He broke through!"
"Old Master has broken through to the Primordial Spirit stage!"
"That's wonderful! Our Murong family finally has a Primordial Spirit stage expert guarding us!"
"This is truly a blessing from heaven for our Murong family!"
"Feilong is mighty!"
"Feilong's medical skills and capabilities are truly incredible!"
"What's most heartwarming and delightful is that Feilong is our Murong family's son-in-law!"
"Yes, yes!"
"..."
At this moment, everyone from the Murong family present was filled with joy and excitement.
