Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Three Years

    ?

    Time slips away.

    Seasons change.

    In the blink of an eye, another three years had passed.

    Over the past three years,

    the situation in White Stone Dao had become increasingly chaotic and treacherous, even affecting the many industries of the Gu Family, where Gu Qingfeng belonged.

    Even

    forces within the Blood Refining Realm had taken advantage of the situation, attempting to swallow up the Gu Family.

    But one and a half years ago, Gu Qingfeng personally took action, defeating a well-known Martial Artist of the Blood Refining Realm with overwhelming force in front of an audience, which sent shockwaves through White Stone Dao.

    Even now,

    it finally dawned on others

    that the Gu Family Master, who had always kept a low profile, was actually a formidable force in the Blood Refining Realm.

    Judging by his ability to kill a fellow practitioner, he was at least at the Mid-level of the Blood Refining Realm, and possibly had even stepped into the Late Stage.

    With that,

    the Gu Family had instantly become a renowned and powerful clan in White Stone Dao. Because of this,

    many forces came to visit, hoping to establish relations with the Gu Family.

    After all, with White Stone Dao currently in chaos and the surrounding areas in turmoil, maintaining ties with a strong clan could prove beneficial.

    However,

    Gu Qingfeng had no intention of getting involved in Martial World affairs and politely declined all attempts at connections by various forces.

    But even so, the Gu Family''s reputation in White Stone Dao had become very prominent.

    "Boom-"

    In the backyard of the Gu Family, Gu Qingfeng was practicing the Fiery Sun Divine Palm. With each movement and technique, his bountiful Blood Qi Power surged like fierce flames, and the terrifying heat erupted with tremendous force at every turn.

    When he was halfway through the set of hand skills, Gu Qingfeng''s body trembled, and the originally intense Blood Qi Power suddenly soared, raising the temperature of the backyard considerably.

    "Boom!"

    He struck down with a palm,

    reducing the rocks to dust.

    Afterward,

    Gu Qingfeng retracted his move and stood still, calming his boiling blood energy, then glanced at his attribute panel.

    --

    Name: Gu Qingfeng

    Age: 35/100

    Realm: Blood Refining Mid-level

    Martial Arts: Gu Family Boxing (Unbreakable level one), Iron Body Skills (Body as hard as iron level one), Big Stone Breaking Hand (Small Success), Iron Leg Skill (Small Success), Iron Refining Finger (Small Success), Fiery Sun Divine Palm (Beginner of the fourth layer) Upgrade Points: 0

    --

    "I''ve finally reached the Beginner stage of the fourth layer!"

    To ensure that the child Xu Yulan was carrying would have a talent like Gu Yang, Gu Qingfeng specially found an excellent prescription and spared no expense to purchase many valuable

    medicinal herbs to administer to Xu Yulan daily.

    In one year''s time,

    not to mention how the child was, even Xu Yulan herself benefited greatly. Had it not been for the inconvenience of practicing Martial Arts due to her pregnancy, she might''ve been able to

    break through to the Mid-level of the Refining Skin Realm.

    You see,

    Xu Yulan''s talent wasn''t strong.

    When she married Gu Qingfeng, she was already twenty years old, barely stepping into the

    Initial Stage of the Refining Skin Realm.

    Now, in less than a year, she was almost qualified to aim for the Mid-level of the Refining

    Skin Realm, which shows just how much effort Gu Qingfeng had put into this.

    At this moment,

    Xu Yulan''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face showed a bit of pain.

    Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng''s expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly supported Xu

    Yulan, "My lady?"

    "My lord needn''t worry; the child just kicked me, it''s nothing."

    Xu Yulan smiled like a blossoming flower, and only then did Gu Qingfeng relax.

    Afterwards,

    he accompanied Xu Yulan back to the bedroom to rest properly, then went to find a doctor to

    take her pulse.

    Half a day passed,

    and Gu Qingfeng came out of the bedroom with the doctor.

    "Doctor Liu, how is my wife''s condition?"

    "Mr. Gu, rest assured, your wife is in good health, and the fetus is very healthy as well. It''s

    estimated that the delivery will happen in another two months."

    Doctor Liu chuckled.

    Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was overjoyed, then he called someone over, "Escort Doctor Liu on

    his way!"

    After speaking,

    Gu Qingfeng took out a silver note from his chest and handed it to Doctor Liu as a token of his

    gratitude for the hard work. The latter''s face split into a wide grin as he saw the amount on

    the silver note.

    Once Doctor Liu had left, Gu Qingfeng looked back in the direction of the bedroom and then

    called for two maids.

    "Take good care of my lady, and let nothing go wrong, or I will hold you responsible!"

    "Yes, Master-"
