After the disciples of the aristocratic families successfully broke through to the next realm, several figures flew past from within the family compound, and Lan Hua followed them.
Those figures were none other than Duanmu Wudi and the two elders. They were all delighted to see Duanmu Zhixue successfully break through to the next realm.
Lan Hua stood beside everyone and calculated the time. It had taken Duanmu Zhixue nearly two months to break through his cultivation level.
For ordinary people, breaking through to a higher level would take at least three to five months.
Even someone as powerful as Lan Hua, with the help of the Blood King Ginseng, spent more than two months breaking through to the next realm.
As for Duanmu Qian, the genius of the Duanmu family, it also took her half a year to succeed.
Duanmu Wudi asked, "Zhixue, how are you feeling?"
Duanmu Zhixue first closed his eyes slightly, then looked at himself, and then smiled:
"Reporting to the patriarch, this disciple has successfully broken through to the Core God Realm. I feel great now, my whole body is full of power!"
Duanmu Wudi nodded in satisfaction, already knowing that the Nascent Soul Pill refined by Lan Hua was indeed remarkably effective.
Lan Hua then stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Congratulations, Patriarch! Your family has gained another expert at the Pill God Realm. You are truly blessed with talented people!"
Duanmu Wudi laughed and said, "That's all thanks to your Nascent Soul Pill, young friend. Without it, this junior wouldn't have been able to break through to the next realm so easily!"
Lan Hua thought to herself, "You old thief, you actually know it's all thanks to the Divine Transformation Pill!"
"Patriarch, can we keep our promise?" After saying that, Lan Hua stared at Duanmu Wudi, waiting for his reply.
Duanmu Wudi laughed heartily, "Young friend, don't be impatient. This matter will only be considered settled after Zhiye has also successfully broken through to the next realm."
In that case, the elders of the powerful families would have no reason to object, wouldn't you say?
Lan Hua thought to herself that he was an old fox, but smiled and said, "What the patriarch said is very true. Since Zhi Xue has already broken through to the next level, Zhi Ye should be just around the corner in the next few days."
"This humble servant here offers his early congratulations to the family head!"
After saying that, Lan Hua walked towards her residence, inwardly cursing Duanmu Wudi, that old fox.
Duanmu Wudi was overjoyed. Since Zhixue had already broken through to a higher realm, it proved that the Transformation Pill was indeed effective.
With dozens of Divine Transformation Pills and their secret formula, how could a powerful family not prosper?
Duanmu Zhi Qiu looked at his cousin Zhi Xue, who had successfully broken through to the next realm, with a face full of jealousy, and sighed:
"If I had the help of the Divine Transformation Pill when I broke through to the next realm, it wouldn't have taken so long."
"Oh, what a terrible misfortune to be born at the wrong time!"
Duanmu Rong laughed and scolded, "Second brother, being able to break through to the next realm on your own is truly impressive. You should be content!"
Five days later.
Lan Hua and Ba Xia were sunbathing in the courtyard when a powerful aura suddenly emanated from the aristocratic family.
"Brother Hua, it's the aura of someone breaking through to a higher realm!" Baxia pointed in a direction and said.
Lan Hua's lips curled into a slight smile. "Let's go, let's go find that old fox and make a deal!"
When he wandered to the place where Duanmu Zhiye was in seclusion, everyone in the aristocratic family had a joyful expression and a bright vision for the future of the family.
Upon seeing Lan Hua arrive, Duanmu Wudi readily agreed, "Young friend, let's discuss this in the main hall!"
Inside the family hall.
Duanmu Wudi and the two elders sat at the head of the table, with several guest elders sitting nearby, while Lan Hua and a group of core disciples sat below.
Duanmu Rong and Ouyang Zheng sat together; the latter came from the Ouyang family.
However, ever since Lan Hua entered the Duanmu family, Ouyang Zheng has never been seen leaving, and Duanmu Rong has always stayed in the family.
It is likely that Ouyang Zhengying was a son-in-law of a prominent family, but it has never been explicitly stated.
Duanmu Wudi laughed and said, "Young friend, your alchemy skills are indeed superb. You can even refine the long-lost Nascent Soul Pill. It's truly unexpected!"
Lan Hua clasped his hands and said, "Patriarch, now that the Divine Transformation Pill has been delivered and the formula has been given to the aristocratic families, shouldn't we show our sincerity?"
"That's natural."
Duanmu Wudi took out a small booklet and said, "This is the training method for the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow, which I copied. Here you go!"
The moment the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow Technique was unleashed, the eyes of the seated retainers nearly lit up, all staring intently at the booklet in the patriarch's hand.
That's the ultimate archery technique in the art of archery, the very technique they've always longed for but could never attain.
Although they were guest retainers, they had no opportunity to cultivate such extraordinary skills.
Because the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow is only passed down to the scions of aristocratic families, and guest elders can only learn it by reaching the Yuanxiang Realm and becoming elders of aristocratic families.
Lan Hua stood up, feeling somewhat excited, thinking to herself that the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow was finally about to be obtained.
"Master, is there something wrong with this archery technique?" The hand that took the booklet paused slightly.
Duanmu Wudi was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "How could that be? I guarantee with the reputation of my family that this archery technique is absolutely correct. Young friend, please rest assured!"
"That's good!"
With a flash of light in his hand, the arrow manual was stored in his storage ring.
Duanmu Wudi reminded him, "Young friend, the cultivation of this Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow requires extremely high cultivation level; one must at least reach the Refining Spirit Realm."
Even Zhi Qiu and Rong'er haven't had the chance to cultivate yet.
Young friend, please be careful not to act rashly!
"I understand, kid!"
Just as Lan Hua was about to turn around and sit down, she heard a voice say, "Wait."
Then Duanmu Wudi took out a small booklet from his robes, his expression seemingly hesitant, and said in a deep voice:
"Young friend, this is the last trump card of my family's archery technique, the 'Ten Thousand Arrows Clear the Way'."
My family owed you a favor before, and your skill in clearing a path of ten thousand arrows only grasped the form, not the essence. So I'll just pass it on to you as well!
"A path cleared by a thousand arrows?"
Not only did Lan Hua's eyes light up, but the other guest elders did too, all revealing greedy looks.
That "Ten Thousand Arrows Clearing the Way" technique is even more advanced than the "Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow," and even Elder Duanmu Chong might not be able to master it.
If one were to master such archery techniques, one might truly become invincible in the celestial realm.
One of the guest advisors muttered to himself, "What merit does Lan Hua possess to be able to acquire two unparalleled archery techniques at the same time?"
It was precisely because of these two unique skills that the Duanmu family stood at the top of the archery families, firmly suppressing the Lü family.
Lan Hua was somewhat excited, thinking to herself that happiness had come too suddenly, and she hadn't expected the old fox to be so generous this time.
Just as Lan Hua reached out to take the arrow manual that symbolized clearing the way with ten thousand arrows, a voice called out "Wait!" interrupted his action.
The person who spoke was none other than Duanmu Rong.
"Brother Lan, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can consider it!"
Lan Hua said "Oh," and then said, "Please speak, Miss Duanmu!"
Duanmu Rong looked slightly embarrassed. "Brother Lan, you know that the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow and the Thousand Arrows Opening the Way are both our family's trump cards, and have always been passed down only to members of our family."
Brother Lan's future is limitless, and establishing his own school and taking on disciples may be inevitable. I only hope that these two archery techniques will not be taught indiscriminately!
Lan Hua nodded slightly. Although Duanmu Rong hadn't said everything, the meaning was already quite clear.
She did not want a second powerful archery family to emerge in the world, shaking the foundation of her family.
Lan Hua laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if I were to teach archery, I would only teach it to a very few people!"
Duanmu Wudi showed an appreciative expression, "In that case, I thank you very much, young friend!"
Duanmu Rong also bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
