Strongest Replication

"Tian, first of all, on the eighth of March, the battle between you and Liu Yongjun isn't just between the two of you. The battle between the two of you has already escalated to a battle between two families."    

"If you can defeat Liu Yongjun, then Chu Family will need at most a month's time to surpass the Liu Family in terms of strength and reputation, and become the number one family in Qi Country."    

"If you lose to Liu Yongjun, then the Chu Family will lose the best opportunity to rise once every hundred years."    

Grand Elder's explanation just now made Chu Zhongtian's heart sink.    

To be honest, the reason he agreed to Liu Yongjun's challenge was to find a strong opponent for himself. He wanted to give himself enough pressure so that his cultivation base could keep improving in a short period of time.    

Now, he had achieved his goal, because under Liu Yongjun's immense pressure, he had broken through from the Fourth Layer of the Qi Refining Period to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period in just over a month's time.    

However, he had never expected that the battle between the two of them would become a competition between two families as time went by. At the same time, Chu Zhongtian could guess one thing about the opportunity that Grand Elder had mentioned just now. Perhaps it had something to do with the patriarch and the others breaking through to the Qi Transforming Period.    

After Chu Zhongtian had gotten used to what he had just said, Grand Elder continued, "Secondly, this challenge is also a personal challenge for you and Liu Yongjun."    

"If you win, you will have a chance to be reborn in the future!"    

"If you lose, I'm afraid that you will only be able to dominate the Qi Country in the future!"    

Grand Elder's second sentence stunned Chu Zhongtian. He thought this was a rare opportunity.    

However, the battle between the two of them was just a spur of the moment. Why did it involve personal opportunities in the end?    

Without explaining the meaning of those words, Grand Elder continued, "Lastly, the challenge between the two of you is a battle that can change anything in the Qi Country."    

"If you win, you, me, the patriarch and even the entire Chu Family will be blessed by the heavens. If you lose, the benefits will belong to the Liu Family."    

Of Grand Elder's three sentences, only the first part was vaguely guessed by Chu Zhongtian. The second part was completely incomprehensible to him.    

However, seeing Grand Elder's unfathomable attitude, it seemed like he did not intend to explain the meaning behind it. He could only temporarily suppress his doubts in his heart.    

"Tian, the challenge between you and Liu Yongjun this time is too important. In order to ensure your final victory, I have specially found a medicinal herb that can help you break through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period." Grand Elder reminded Chu Zhongtian of the importance of the challenge while picking up the jade box on the stone table.    

After receiving the jade box from Grand Elder, Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment after opening it. After that, a bitter smile emerged on his face. Because inside the jade box was a 400 year old Ginseng.    

"Tian, the age of this Ginseng has already reached 450 years. It can barely step into the Level 9. With your talent and potential... Can you break through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period before the challenge with this Ginseng? " Grand Elder looked at Chu Zhongtian with anticipation, hoping that he could give him a satisfactory answer.    

Chu Zhongtian didn't understand the scariness of the Liu Family's bloodline inheritance, but Grand Elder, who was proficient in alchemy, knew it very well. In fact, the special energy of the blood in the Blood Prison Pavilion was due to the help of the inheritance of the Liu Family's bloodline. This was the reason why the bloodline of the ___ was able to enhance its effect. Therefore, he understood how terrifying the bloodline atavism was.    

With Chu Zhongtian's current Stage, there wasn't much hope for him to defeat Liu Yongjun, who possessed the bloodline atavism. Therefore, he hoped that Chu Zhongtian could make another breakthrough.    

Facing Grand Elder's expectant eyes, Chu Zhongtian could only sigh. He placed the jade box back on the table, stood up, and removed the secret technique that was covering his body.    

"Grand Elder, I have actually broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period a long time ago!" After removing the secret technique that concealed the Stage from his body, Chu Zhongtian said helplessly.    

Originally, Chu Zhongtian had planned to fight Liu Yongjun. If a Seventh Layer Peak of the Qi Refining Period warrior wasn't a match for him, he could show off his Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period Stage. This would shock his soul, making it impossible for him to unleash his full strength.    

However, he never thought that Grand Elder would find him a Ginseng in order to ensure his victory. In order to not disappoint Grand Elder, Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to show his true Stage.    

"What? You have broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period a long time ago!" When he saw Chu Zhongtian remove the concealed secret technique and reveal his true Stage, Grand Elder stood up in shock.    

Nodding his head, Chu Zhongtian explained, "Grand Elder, ever since I was forced to leave the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, I inadvertently saw a book on how to conceal the Stage on the second floor of the library. So, I usually conceal my Stage to increase my trump card. "    

"As for when my Stage broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period, I accidentally found a five hundred year old Ginseng in the Endless Forest. With the help of this Ginseng, I was able to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period by luck."    

"I cultivated the secret technique to conceal my Stage to increase my trump card!" Chu Zhongtian's explanation made Grand Elder nod his head in satisfaction.    

However, he couldn't accept Chu Zhongtian breaking through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period in just three months.    

Looking at Chu Zhongtian, who had once again used the secret technique to conceal the Stage, Grand Elder had nothing to say. Furthermore, he had full confidence in Chu Zhongtian when it came to the top challenge in Yuloong Mountain on the eighth of March.    

Not only had Chu Zhongtian broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period, he had also learned how to hide his true strength at such a young age, and how to increase his trump card. This was the biggest reason why he was so confident in Chu Zhongtian.    

This time, Grand Elder called Chu Zhongtian over to give him the Ginseng. Since he no longer needed it, Grand Elder could only put away the jade box and tell Chu Zhongtian to do what he needed to do.    

After Chu Zhongtian left the courtyard, Grand Elder stood in the courtyard and looked towards the north, his eyes revealing a kind of determination.    

However, after that, he seemed to have heard something, and his originally calm expression immediately revealed a trace of shock.    

After leaving the courtyard and returning to Jingya Pavilion, Chu Zhongtian sat on the chair in the living room and began to arrange the next cultivation plan.    

There were still ten days left until the eighth of March.    

Ten days wasn't enough for him to break through to the 9th level of Qi Refining Stage, so he needed to use these ten days to cultivate the saber technique and fist technique to increase the power of his combat skills.    

However, before he started cultivating his martial skill, he still needed to advance his cultivation to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period Peak.    

Chu Zhongtian had already understood this Stage, and what he lacked now was spirit stones that could help him break through. When he thought of the only three Ninth Grade Low Rank spirit stones he had left, Chu Zhongtian felt a headache coming on.    

With his current Stage and potential, if he wanted to raise his cultivation base to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Period Peak, it would cost at least several hundred Ninth Grade Low Rank spirit stones. Although he had the Inner Core. However, the Inner Core could only be used to refine medicinal pills. He couldn't directly absorb the energy inside.    

Forget it, he would still ask Chu Fann for some spirit stones!
