Chapter 941 Consecutive Breakthroughs
"Mr. Chen is truly amazing! I have truly broken through my bottleneck!"
Elder Xue let out a sky-piercing roar, his eyes red with excitement, tears streaming down his face.
He had waited for this day for over ten years, believing there was no hope, yet it had finally arrived!
How could he not be thrilled?
Old Master Murong, Old Ghost Murong, Elder Gu, and the others watched this scene, their expressions also filled with emotion, genuinely happy for Elder Xue.
They also understood that their fortunes were intertwined. With another Grandmaster of Inner Strength in the Murong family, their strength had risen to another level!
Having two Grandmasters of Inner Strength in one family was a feat only achieved during the Murong family's peak. Now, their former glory had returned!
Elder Xue took a deep breath, turned to Murong Meng, and said solemnly, "Meng girl, can you make a video call to Mr. Chen?"
"Grandpa Xue, you want to..." Murong Meng was startled.
"I want to thank Mr. Chen," Elder Xue stated decisively.
"It's true that we should thank Chen Xuan. If he hadn't given the pill, Grandpa Xue wouldn't have become a Grandmaster of Inner Strength."
Murong Meng felt Elder Xue's suggestion was very reasonable and took out her phone to make a video call to Chen Xuan.
The call was connected quickly. Murong Meng said to Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, Grandpa Xue wants to speak with you."
After speaking, Murong Meng handed the phone to Elder Xue.
Chen Xuan frowned, confused.
Elder Xue took the phone and, with a thud, knelt before Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan: "..."
He quickly said, "Elder Xue, what's wrong? Why are you kneeling? Get up, quickly, get up..."
Elder Xue trembled with excitement, "Mr. Chen, I must kneel before you. I took the pill you gave me, and I have now become a Rank One Grandmaster of Inner Strength!"
Chen Xuan instantly understood. Elder Xue was kneeling before him because of this matter.
He wasn't surprised. Elder Xue was a veteran Half-Grandmaster of Inner Strength, and it was normal for him to advance to Grandmaster of Inner Strength after taking the pill.
"Elder Xue, this is just a small matter. Please get up!" Chen Xuan said nonchalantly.
"No, I cannot stand up. I even fought with you before. It was my fault, all my fault. I apologize to you here!" Elder Xue began to kowtow to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly.
At the time, they were acting on orders. Elder Xue had only acted under command, and there was no fault on his part. If Elder Xue hadn't acted, Chen Xuan would have found it unusual.
To think he would kowtow to him for this. This fellow was too honest!
In reality, it wasn't that Elder Xue was too honest, but that becoming a Grandmaster of Inner Strength was too significant for him.
No matter how Chen Xuan persuaded him, Elder Xue insisted on kowtowing. Finally, Old Master Murong helped Elder Xue up before hanging up the call.
Coincidentally.
The Gao family!
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of a room was blown open by a powerful gust of energy, filling the room with thick dust.
The Gao family members waiting in the hall all stood up and rushed towards the room.
As they reached the doorway, the Gao family members stopped in their tracks, seeing a familiar figure slowly emerge from the dust.
Old Master Gao, Gao Chuanhe, and the others stared intently into the room, their eyes filled with deep anticipation.
With the sound of footsteps, a familiar face finally appeared before them.
It was Gao Guoqing, Gao Chuanhe's father!
The pill the Gao family had obtained was originally intended for Old Master Gao. However, Old Master Gao believed that he was too old and it would be better to give the pill to Gao Guoqing. After much persuasion, the pill still fell into Gao Guoqing's hands.
Gao Chuanhe couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how is it?"
The others also looked at Gao Guoqing with anticipation.
Gao Guoqing sighed and put on a disappointed expression, as if his efforts had failed.
Following his sigh, the atmosphere in the room became extremely heavy, as if one could drop water and it would freeze.
"Dad, it's okay. If you didn't break through this time, there will be next time. After all, you are still young." Although disappointed, Gao Chuanhe stepped forward to comfort her father.
Indeed, she was her father's little padded jacket!
Old Master Gao did not blame him, but instead comforted Gao Guoqing.
Gao Guoqing suddenly said, "It's not that I didn't break through. I was just thinking that now that I've become the Gao family's second strongest, my responsibilities will be even heavier!"
At these words, everyone looked sharply at Gao Guoqing, their expressions filled with excitement!
"Dad, you became a Grandmaster of Inner Strength?" Gao Chuanhe asked excitedly.
Everyone looked at Gao Guoqing, their faces filled with anticipation, wanting to confirm this good news once more.
"Yes!" Gao Guoqing patted his chest and smiled.
Upon hearing this, there was a burst of joyous celebration.
"My son, you've made us proud!"
Old Master Murong was also very excited, "Our Gao family has finally produced a second Grandmaster of Inner Strength!"
The Gao family actually also had a Grandmaster of Inner Strength. However, that Grandmaster of Inner Strength had always been traveling, appearing only briefly. Five years ago, during a crisis in the Gao family, he came to their rescue. Once the crisis was over, that Grandmaster of Inner Strength went out traveling again.
Because of this, people generally believed that Old Master Gao was the Gao family's strongest expert.
In reality, the Gao family's strongest expert was that traveling member of the Gao family.
Immediately, Gao Chuanhe conveyed this excellent news to Chen Xuan.
Seeing Gao Chuanhe on the phone with Chen Xuan, Gao Guoqing sighed deeply. It would have been great if Chen Xuan were the Gao family's son-in-law, but unfortunately, the Su family had gotten there first.
The Murong family and the Gao family, the two major martial arts powers in Jiangnan Province, had both ascended to the most glorious moments of their families!
With their strength enhanced, what was the most desirable thing to do? Of course, it was to show off. Thus, the Murong and Gao families invited the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce to hold a grand martial arts competition. At the competition, the Murong and Gao families showcased their strength of having two Grandmasters of Inner Strength in one family to the Bai family.
For the sake of face, Old Master Bai said nothing on the spot. However, after returning home, he smashed his house to pieces and severely reprimanded Bai Hongsheng.
If it weren't for Bai Hongsheng, perhaps their Bai family could have also obtained a pill!
After all, the Bai family had the best relationship with Chen Xuan.
Bai Hongsheng, who had been managing many of the Bai family's industries, had most of them stripped away by Old Master Bai. What made Bai Hongsheng even more exasperated was that all these industries were handed over to Master Bai!
And Master Bai was also appointed as the Vice President of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce Headquarters!
"Dad, that's great! Grandpa is starting to value you!" Young Master Bai clasped his hands and congratulated Master Bai in a proper manner.
"Yes."
Master Bai was also beaming with pride and nodding with a smile, but his mind was very clear:
"Of course, this matter is all thanks to Mr. Chen. If it weren't for Mr. Chen, your grandfather probably wouldn't pay so much attention to us. Your grandfather seems to be promoting me, but in essence, he is indirectly appeasing Mr. Chen."
"Yes, Mr. Chen is too amazing."
Young Master Bai also praised, "If we also had a pill, perhaps the Bai family would have another Grandmaster of Inner Strength. Now, our Bai family doesn't even have one Grandmaster of Inner Strength."
"Indeed!"
Master Bai said gravely, "We must hurry to help Mr. Chen find medicinal ingredients. That is the most crucial matter."
Young Master Bai quickly said, "Dad, I just heard from my subordinates that the old fortune-teller seems to be setting up a stall and telling fortunes at the city's south market recently. I'll take some men to go and check."
"Hurry up and go. We absolutely cannot let Bai Hongsheng get there first!" Master Bai's eyes narrowed.
"Yes!"
Young Master Bai turned and left.
