Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Yang Chen and Xiao Yi have been recuperating in Yanyun Valley. With the conditioning of various precious spiritual medicines of the Yang family, their injuries have long been healed, and Xiao Yi has been in seclusion because he has experienced a blessing in disguise after the war and is about to break through.

However, what Yang Chen didn't know was that in these three months, the Yang family and the Yun family have become the focus of major forces. First, Yang Ao broke into the Yun family alone and killed several deacons and elders of the Yun family with a few palms, and then left. Not long after, it was reported that several Yang family disciples were attacked by unknown strongmen when they were out for training. None of them survived. In the end, it was the royal family who came forward to stop the fight.

But everyone with a discerning eye knew that the two families had already formed a deadly feud, and the so-called agreement was just a slight retreat on the surface.

Under the snow cherry tree, petals were swept down by the wind. The boy sitting under the tree in deep thought gently held the fallen petals with his hands and blew a breath at his lips. The snow cherry blossom seemed to be alive, drifting away with the wind and drifting away.

"Am I only like this flower after all? I can only drift helplessly with the wind, not knowing my fate, not knowing where I will go in the future." The boy said with some sadness.

Then he looked at the birds flying in the sky, and then he said with some envy: "Those birds are really free, they can go wherever they want."

After the last accident, Yang Chen was very depressed during this period. It gave Yang Chen a great blow, and also made him understand a lot of truths. He always heard others that this is a world where the strong are respected. He didn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

"Alas! What does that have to do with me? Daddy said that my Dantian was broken by nature, and I can't condense the spiritual sea. What's more tragic is that I was born with a weak meridian, and I can't even practice external skills. What's more, I still say that I don't want others to be hurt, and I say that I want to become stronger. I am a complete waste. Yang Chen picked up the stones on the ground and threw them into the lake, as if venting like this could make him feel better.

"Chen'er, come and eat quickly. Mom made you your favorite roasted meatballs. They are so delicious," Situ Mingyang called from a distance.

"Oh, I'm here," Yang Chen replied absentmindedly.

Situ Mingyang blamed herself for this accident. She felt that it was because she didn't accompany Yang Chen that this happened, so she pushed aside all the affairs and concentrated on accompanying Yang Chen in Yanyun Valley, but she found that after this incident, Yang Chen could never go back to his carefree appearance before.

Yang Chen rarely smiled happily, never snuggled into her arms when he saw her, never clamored for Situ Mingyang to accompany him every day, he seemed to have matured a lot in an instant.

Situ Mingyang understood that this was because Yang Chen suffered too much of a blow, which prompted his growth, but Situ Mingyang would rather Yang Chen be carefree like before, and didn't want to see him lose his soul every day like now, as a mother, how could he not feel distressed. But what can be done, things can't be changed, all she can do is spend time with him every day, hoping that one day he can forget those sad past events and return to the carefree as before.

Yang Chen slowly sat down at the table, the table was full of Yang Chen's favorite dishes, if it was before, he would have run to the kitchen to grab them, but now he just knew to eat rice with his bowl in his hand, and didn't pick up the dishes he usually liked.

"Xiaochen, don't be too sad. Daddy said that he will find a way for you to practice in a few days. It's just that you have to wait a few more days. Don't be too sad. Believe in Daddy. He will definitely help you find a way." Yang Xueli, who was standing by, put a roasted meatball in his bowl and comforted him.

"Really?" Yang Chen's eyes lit up and he looked up at Yang Xueli.

"Of course it's true. When has my sister ever lied to you?" Her voice was as cold as ever, but she could feel the incomparable sincerity and warmth.

"Yang Chen looked at the roasted meatballs in the bowl, and tears suddenly flowed down.

Seeing that Yang Chen suddenly cried for no reason, Situ Mingyang and Yang Xueli were suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Mom, sister, do you know that Xiaoyi was beaten bloody to protect me, but I couldn't do anything, I couldn't help him, I felt like a waste, I could only watch Xiaoyi being beaten again and again, I was really useless," Yang Chen wiped his tears and choked.

Situ Mingyang's eyes were full of heartache, and he said softly: "Chen'er, why do you think so? In the eyes of your parents, you are the best, no one can compare to you."

"Yes, in my sister's heart, Xiaochen will always be my favorite brother," Yang Xueli also comforted beside her.

"Really?" Yang Chen looked up and asked.

"Of course it's true, Chen'er can definitely find a way for you to practice, not only can you practice, but Chen'er will definitely be a genius who can stir up the world in the future, Situ Mingyang affirmed.

"I will definitely become stronger in the future," Yang Chen is now full of hope, and his eyes are no longer as depressed as before, replaced by a look full of determination.

Then he began to quickly pick up the dishes on the table and ate them in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Yang Xueli and Situ Mingyang knew that Yang Chen had now walked out of the shadow. They smiled at each other and began to eat with Yang Chen. Of course, they no longer needed to eat when they reached their level of cultivation. It was just to make Yang Chen feel warm. Therefore, as long as Yang Chen was there, their family would sit together and eat three meals a day like ordinary mortals.

"Well, mother, this roasted meatball is really delicious," Yang Chen put a roasted meatball in his mouth, his mouth full of oil.

"Eat slowly, there are still a lot of them." Seeing Yang Chen wolfing down, Situ Mingyang was helpless.

"No, no, I want more..." Seeing Yang Chen happily eating a meal for the first time in three months, the corners of his eyes were actually a little wet.

Ten days have passed, and Yang Chen's mood is much better than before, but sometimes he still sits in a daze in a bad mood.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing lying here? Daddy brought me some good news today. He is waiting for you in the pavilion now." Yang Xueli walked to Yang Chen and said.

"What good news?" Yang Chen looked up listlessly and asked, "Could it be that Daddy has found a way to solve my cultivation problem?" Yang Chen suddenly realized.

Before Yang Xueli could say anything, Yang Chen had already run towards the house in ecstasy. From a distance, he saw Yang Ao drinking tea in the small pavilion next to the attic and smiling at Yang Chen who was running towards him.

"Dad, you have found a solution to my cultivation problem, right?" As soon as he entered the pavilion, Yang Chen ran to Yang Ao and asked impatiently.

"Yes, but the process will be very painful. Can Chen'er endure it? Yang Ao looked into Yang Chen's eyes seriously.

"I'm not afraid. I can endure any pain. Daddy, please teach me how to do it," Yang Chen said firmly without avoiding Yang Ao's gaze.

Seeing Yang Chen so determined, Yang Ao felt relieved, "Okay, you are worthy of being my and your mother's good son."

"You can praise your son, but why do you bring me along? Really," Situ Mingyang next to him said unhappily.

Yang Ao coughed twice, then took out a jade box and slowly opened it. The moment it was opened, the area within a radius of dozens of meters was enveloped by the rich fragrance from the box. Just smelling it made the whole body feel loose and refreshed, as if there was endless energy.

A thumb-sized pill lay quietly in the box, surrounded by a faint fluorescence, and exuded a rich medicinal fragrance, crystal clear.

"This pill is called the Ninth-grade Vein Condensing Pill. It has the incredible ability to condense emptiness into reality. Chen'er, you were born with empty veins. This pill can help you reshape the meridians throughout your body, but it cannot help you solve the problem of your dantian. Even if you solve the problem of your tendons and veins, you can only practice the more difficult external skills."

"But since ancient times, there have been many people who have become top masters with external skills. Chen'er, you don't have to be too sad. As long as you have unswerving and courageous perseverance, your father believes that you will definitely become your father's pride."

"Dad, I won't be sad. I was born unable to practice. Now I suddenly have such an opportunity. I will only cherish and be grateful. But how do I eat this thing? Eat it directly?" Yang Chen, who was not sad or wronged before, changed the subject and asked how to eat it.

Everyone present was speechless. Situ Mingyang glanced at Yang Ao and said unhappily, "The son and the father are really cut from the same cloth."

Yang Ao looked embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly.

Even the cold Yang Xueli couldn't help but reveal a hint of smile.

Yang Ao turned and said, "If you have reached the holy realm, you can take it directly, but you haven't even started practicing. How can you bear this heaven-defying medicine? With your current body, you can only absorb it slowly with the help of other spiritual herbs. Even so, you will have to endure inhuman pain during the absorption of the medicine. If you faint during this period, all your efforts will be wasted, and you may even become a cripple. Chen'er, have you really thought about it? Maybe we can find a better way if we wait a little longer. If you are willing, wait a little longer, okay?

Faced with such a big risk, Yang Ao was also very worried.

"Daddy, having this opportunity is already a gift from fate. I will no longer ask for other miracles. I just want to grasp it well. Please teach me how to do it!" Yang Chen said firmly.

"Well, okay," Yang Ao said, and took out a large vat filled with water about three feet in diameter from the space ring. There were also various fluorescent treasures in it that exuded charming fragrances. He said to Yang Chen: "Take off your clothes and go in..."
