CHAPTER 1290: CHAPTER 1290: SOMEONE FROM THE TU FAMILY? THAT WAS FAST! (5TH UPDATE)

"I say, why are you leaving us hanging? You’re making me itchy with anticipation!" Hearing that Ye Haochuan only said half of what he intended, Ku Hai couldn’t stand it and said to Ye Haochuan with a bit of irritation.

Originally, Ye Haochuan wanted to leave a bit of suspense for Ku Hai, but then he thought it might not be that interesting to keep it a mystery, so he decided to tell him.

"If, at the very beginning, it was the Tu Family’s expert taking action, relying on the effect of that ’Snow Condensation Revival Pill’, Yang Sen’s illness would have been cured, nine times out of ten.

But now, those three brothers from the Tu Family lack medical skills. Not only did they fail to cure Yang Sen, but they also wasted more than half of the pill’s efficacy. Now, even if the Medical Immortal came personally, it would be beyond salvation."

Upon hearing this, Ku Hai nodded seriously. But then, he looked at Ye Haochuan with disdain and said, "Since even the Medical Immortal can’t cure him, why are they seeking you out? Could it be that your medical skills are better than the Medical Immortal’s?"

"My medical skills might not be better than the Medical Immortal’s, but they only had that one ’Snow Condensation Revival Pill’. Once wasted, it’s gone. However, I still have some," Ye Haochuan said with a smug smile.

"Wow, how did you get your hands on such a powerful pill?"

"I made them, so of course I have them. Even the one in the hands of the three brothers from the Tu Family was given by me!" Ye Haochuan said smugly, "So, what do you think? Are you impressed to the point of complete admiration?"

"It’s impressive, sure, but if you don’t give me a couple of these awesome pills, you’re not really treating me like a friend, are you?" Ku Hai said with a mischievous smile.

Wow, this guy knows how to ask for things!

Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly. However, he thought about it again: since the other party had given him a pill furnace, refusing a mere pill would seem petty.

"Giving you one isn’t impossible, but this pill is quite precious, so it’s best not to waste it unless absolutely necessary," Ye Haochuan said as he placed a "Snow Condensation Revival Pill" in Ku Hai’s hand, advising him.

"Are you treating me like a three-year-old?" Ku Hai carefully accepted the pill and responded with some irritation.

This "Snow Condensation Revival Pill" can neutralize all poisons and replenish vitality. It is indeed a life-saving medicine at critical moments. Even when Ye Haochuan was gravely injured earlier, he couldn’t bear to use it.

The two exchanged words for a while. Ye Haochuan learned that Ku Hai had been adopted and carefully taught by his master since childhood. It wasn’t until he was twenty-three that he ventured out into the world by himself, eventually earning the title of Ming Lang.

"Are you saying you’re also one of the five great talents?" Ye Haochuan asked with some surprise.

He had always heard people mention the five great talents but only knew of the Ji Family brothers. He had no idea who the other three were. Unexpectedly, he had encountered another one today out of the blue.

It seems that not all of the five great talents are arrogant and defiant like the Ji Family brothers.

"Actually, the so-called five great talents aren’t that big a deal. They just cultivate faster than others. When it comes to actual combat, they aren’t necessarily that formidable," Ku Hai said nonchalantly.

"Nonsense, the title of talent is really about future potential. What’s important is the height of future growth, not how formidable they are now."

Ye Haochuan curled his lips and said, "Quickly, tell me, who else are the other talents?"

Ku Hai looked at Ye Haochuan with a half-smile and said, "I see you’re not very old, and your talent might not be lower than the five great talents. Could it be that you also want to compete for the title of talent?"

"I’m not so bored as to vie for such a vain reputation!" Ye Haochuan curled his lips and said, "I’m just curious about what kind of people make up the five great talents of Xuanmen."

"The Ji Family has a pair of twin tigers, Ji Tianyu and Ji Tianye. The Ye Family has a young kirin named Ye Xiao..."

"Yexiao (Night Snack)? That name sounds... quite delicious! Haha!" Ye Haochuan suddenly laughed.

Ku Hai rolled his eyes at Ye Haochuan and said, "Don’t underestimate him. Among the five great talents, he’s the one with the highest cultivation, already in the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage now."

Whoa, isn’t that ridiculously awesome?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curl his lips. It seems that if he wants to top the five great talents, this Ye Xiao will be a formidable rival.

"That’s only three, and including you, that’s only four. Who’s the other one?"

"The last one is the Kirin Phoenix of the Long Family, named Long Keyue. I heard she recently broke through to the Core Formation Late Stage and is now striving for the Core Formation Peak!"

What? Long Keyue is also one of the five great talents?

It’s no wonder, reaching the Core Formation Late Stage in her early twenties is already impressive. Being one of the five great talents is not surprising.

Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

Come to think of it, he hasn’t seen this "female hero" in a long time. He wonders if he’ll get a chance to meet her again in the Holy City this time?

Speaking of Long Keyue, Ye Haochuan recalled another matter: Di Yan once said he wanted to duel him.

However, Ye Haochuan now is vastly different from before. He wondered if Di Yan would regret making that bet with him back then if he appeared now?

"What? Stunned just because it’s a female talent?" Seeing Ye Haochuan suddenly in a daze, Ku Hai said irritably, "I advise you not to think about this Phoenix. Long Keyue has been betrothed to Ye Xiao since childhood; you don’t have a chance."

"Whoa, what era are we in that we still have such an antiquated thing as a betrothal?" Ye Haochuan suddenly said, a bit depressed.

Ku Hai smirked and said, "Just because the secular world doesn’t have it doesn’t mean cultivators don’t. The union of two great talents could bring countless benefits to both families."

What nonsense betrothal, the women Young Master has his eyes set on, have never been able to escape! Ye Xiao, starting today, you will have a wildly powerful rival!

Ye Haochuan thought to himself.

"Hey? How come there aren’t any from the Yang Family among the five great talents? And why aren’t there any from the Phantom Sound Pavilion either?" Ye Haochuan said with some curiosity.

"The Yang Family once had a super genius too. But at fifteen, he was ambushed by Hellfire, his Dantian shattered, turning into a cripple. This person is the Yang Family’s greatest pain now.

As for the Phantom Sound Pavilion, it’s indeed strange. In recent decades, no notable talents have appeared, which might explain why the Phantom Sound Pavilion’s strength has been waning."

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but frown. It’s unusual that the Phantom Sound Pavilion, one of the three major sects of the Xuanmen, hasn’t had a single notable talent for decades.

But this is one of those things that he, just by scratching his head, can’t figure out why.

Just as the two were talking passionately, a voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.

"Tu Bing of the Tu Family, bringing three useless nephews to beg for forgiveness. I hope Young Hero Ye will open the door for a meeting!"

"The Tu Family, huh? They sure came quickly!" Ye Haochuan said with a snicker.
