Tang Dong gritted his teeth again and continued to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. His hands unconsciously formed a mudra at his dantian, and with each inhale and exhale, his hands slowly rose and fell.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified. Just when Tang Dong felt he was about to give up, suddenly, the energy within his body seemed to find a breakthrough and began to flow faster.

That energy surged through his meridians like a rushing river, crashing against every blockage. Tang Dong felt a sharp pain, but at the same time, he experienced an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

After a long and arduous struggle, Tang Dong finally felt a surge of heat rising in his dantian, where his qi continuously gathered and condensed. At this moment, he clearly felt that he had successfully broken through to the first level of Qi Refining.

Ignoring the other changes in his body, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting both joy and exhaustion. A slight smile played on his lips.

"It's done!"

Tang Yue was happy for Tang Dong.

"What? It's done? What's done?"

Tang Nan looked completely bewildered. He was worried that his third brother would go astray in his cultivation. Isn't that what they say in those martial arts stories?

Tang Bei had already guessed it. The young boy could no longer maintain his composed expression and smiled happily, "Yes, Dongzi has broken through to the first level of Qi Refining."

"Huh? So fast? No, Dongzi, you, you actually broke through before me? No way, I'm the older brother, I have to work harder."

Tang Nan was happy, but also felt a sense of loss. He was still the second brother, so why was he slower than the third brother? No, he couldn't just focus on eating anymore. He had to seize the time to cultivate and not fall too far behind the third brother.

Sigh, it's one thing for my sister to be more outstanding than me, but what if my brother is just as outstanding? What will he do in the future? It's really worrying.

Lin Cuicui was standing at the doorway at some point. When she heard Tang Yue say it was done, she impulsively came over and picked Tang Dong up and hugged him tightly.

"Waaaaah, my Dongzi is so amazing! Mom is so happy, waaaaah!"

Tangbei...

Tang Nan...

Mom, you have two sons too!

After the family finished their happy celebration, Old Li had prepared the meal. He didn't have many vegetables in the yard, so he made a cold salad with some. Everyone enjoyed a lively meal that was neither early nor late.

After successfully breaking through to the first level of Qi Refining, Tang Dong clearly felt a qualitative improvement in his strength. He could feel a powerful force surging in his hand as soon as he clenched his fist.

Tang Dong's hand was itching, so he casually swung it towards the bed leg in the room. The result... well!
