Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Behave and Lie Down for Me

Upon hearing Wu Tian’s words, Tellam, a refined elderly woman, sighed. "Resigned? Of course, I’m not resigned. But what does it matter if I’m not? The manufacturing methods for the Scientific Cultivation Devices are a secret of the Rothschild Family, and they have the right to cooperate with whomever is stronger."

Wu Tian nodded. With a flick of his finger, the Four Fiends Cauldron materialized from the Nine Dragon Ring.

Witnessing this spectacle, Xiao Liang exclaimed in amazement, "This... this technique! Even though this is the second time I’ve seen it, it’s still just as shocking."

Wu Tian smiled and said, "I don’t want you to look at the cauldron itself, but at what’s inside."

Curious, Xiao Liang and the others stepped forward to see what lay within the dark cauldron, which was embossed with the images of four fiendish beasts. Inside, they discovered countless elixirs.

The elixirs were a pale yellow, as translucent as candy or amber, but they carried a unique medicinal fragrance.

"Mr. Wu Tian, what do you plan to do with these?" Xiao Liang was the first to ask.

"Enough talk. Just try one," Wu Tian said calmly, taking a sip of tea from his seat.

Xiao Liang and the others nodded and each took a pill. Xia Qian, trusting Wu Tian implicitly, popped one into her mouth without a moment’s hesitation. The others hesitated, but only for a split second before they too swallowed their pills.

As soon as the pill entered their bodies, it dissolved into a cool stream of energy that coursed through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Within those channels, a trace of Qi unexpectedly began to form.

Xiao Liang couldn’t help but throw a punch, faintly recalling the feeling of his youthful martial arts.

"This... this is..." Coming to a sudden realization, Xiao Liang’s and the others’ pupils dilated in astonishment as they stared at Wu Tian.

Tellam, in particular, now understood why Wu Tian had asked her that question earlier. Her expression was one of pure excitement as she stared at the pills in the Four Fiends Cauldron.

"The Lanling Xiao Family said I wasn’t suited for the Martial Path, that it would take me ten years of hard work just to generate Qi. I gave up... but this pill gave me Qi instantly?" Xiao Tianzan, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, looked visibly moved, a crack in his usually iron-stern facade.

"Although I am a member of the Lanling Xiao Family, my Sense of Qi faded as I grew old, so I had no choice but to leave and fend for myself. I never thought I’d regain it." Xiao Liang clenched his fists as True Qi flowed through his meridians and Inner Strength erupted from his punches.

Father and son, Xiao Liang and Xiao Tianzan, exchanged a look. In the modern world, they had each earned considerable renown and respect.

Xiao Liang was a grandmaster in the world of antiques, admired by all and with friends across the land.

Xiao Tianzan was a leader in the Southern Province, nicknamed the Admiral of the Nine Gates. Under his governance, the South enjoyed an era of peace, and he was a contender for the nation’s highest office.

But neither of them had forgotten the humiliation the Lanling Xiao Family had inflicted upon them.

"You two, father and son, don’t bother coming back for the New Year anymore." The Lanling Xiao Family’s Clan Leader, Xiao Xuan, had spoken with a calm expression, but his tone was severe and dripping with mockery. "One whose Sense of Qi has vanished, the other unfit for cultivation. Your presence here only serves to make the Lanling Xiao Family look weak before the other great clans. Leave. Go fend for yourselves. And don’t bother coming back for the ancestral rites—you would only shame our ancestors by kowtowing before them."

Xiao Liang and Xiao Tianzan weren’t the only ones in the Lanling Xiao Family who were poor cultivators.

So why did the Clan Leader single out the father and son?

Because Xiao Xuan could never forget his youth when he studied alongside Xiao Liang, and how Xiao Liang had outperformed him in every single subject, every single time.

Moreover, some in the clan had said that if the leadership position were abdicated to Xiao Liang, the Lanling Xiao Family would have developed much better.

These things had festered in Xiao Xuan’s heart, so he found an excuse to expel Xiao Liang and Xiao Tianzan.

Now, they saw a glimmer of hope—the hope of returning.

Xiao Liang and Xiao Tianzan’s minds raced. Should we take a few more? Maybe it would increase our martial strength and hasten the day we can return to the Lanling Xiao Family.
