Jiang Che pulled out a gray storage pouch from his pocket.
"Ugly as hell. Can't compare to my system space!"
The pouch was crude, barely able to hold about thirty cubic meters of items—far inferior to Lin Yu’s spatial jade pendant!
Still, it was stuffed with treasures, including rare thousand-year medicinal herbs and various elixirs. Worth keeping, at least.
Without a second thought, Jiang Che transferred all the valuables into his system space.
The once-bulging pouch was now completely empty.
"Here, this storage pouch belonged to Ye Qing. Take it."
Jiang Che tossed it to Jiang Ruoxu.
"???"
Jiang Ruoxu was dumbfounded. A storage pouch?
But soon, his eyes burned with excitement. Of course, he’d heard of storage pouches—after all, he had a "ring granny" as his mentor.
"Bro, I can’t accept this. It’s too valuable."
Jiang Ruoxu waved his hands in refusal, only for Jiang Che to smack him on the head.
"Trash like this? I don’t need it. It’s yours."
Jiang Ruoxu: "..."
His hands trembled as he took the pouch.
Even if Jiang Che called it trash, how could a storage pouch ever be worthless?
He must be saying that just so I won’t feel guilty accepting it!
This cousin... no, this man was more like a true brother than family by blood.
Seeing Jiang Ruoxu’s moved expression, Jiang Che knew he’d misunderstood again.
To him, this really was just a trash bag—he’d already taken every last worthwhile item inside, leaving nothing behind.
Jiang Yunhuang gave a slight nod but said nothing.
"Grandfather, your cultivation is stuck at the half-step Breaking Heaven stage, right?"
Jiang Che suddenly brought up Jiang Yunhuang’s progress.
Jiang Yunhuang looked surprised but nodded. "Indeed. I’ve been trapped at the peak of the Grandmaster realm for over twenty years. It wasn’t until you gave me those two treasures that I finally broke through to half-step Breaking Heaven."
"But being stuck here isn’t so bad—at least I’ve glimpsed what lies beyond the Grandmaster realm. A win in my book!"
Jiang Yunhuang was completely unguarded around family.
Jiang Ruoxu stared at Jiang Che in shock. So, his grandfather’s breakthrough... was because of Jiang Che?
This made him reevaluate his cousin all over again.
Once thought to be a spoiled playboy, but in reality, it was all an act?
......
From his system space, Jiang Che produced a pure white pill, faintly marked with alchemical runes. A soothing medicinal fragrance wafted from it.
That’s right—
The Heaven-Breaking Pill!
For family, Jiang Che was never stingy. It was time to boost their strength.
[Heaven-Breaking Pill: Allows a peak Grandmaster or half-step Breaking Heaven cultivator to forcibly ascend to the Breaking Heaven stage, with zero side effects.]
"Che’er... what is this?"
The moment the pill appeared, Jiang Yunhuang’s eyes widened.
He didn’t recognize the pill, but just a whiff of its aroma made the stagnant bottleneck in his cultivation tremble!
This was undoubtedly a supreme treasure.
Jiang Che smirked. "A Heaven-Breaking Pill, refined by my master. It can instantly elevate someone to the Breaking Heaven stage—no side effects."
"What?! Instantly reach Breaking Heaven?!"
Jiang Yunhuang’s breathing turned ragged. Once again, he’d underestimated the capabilities of Jiang Che’s mysterious master.
If this man could craft such an absurd pill... just how powerful was he?
Transcendent? Or... beyond?
Even Jiang Ruoxu’s dormant "ring granny" stirred awake.
[What?! A Heaven-Breaking Pill? And a supreme-grade one with nine runes?! How is this possible?! Who the hell is his master?!]
Jiang Ruoxu asked shakily, "Master... is this pill really that incredible?"
[Incredible? That’s an understatement! Heaven-Breaking Pills aren’t hard to refine, but this is a flawless supreme-grade one—and in a world where spiritual energy is nearly extinct! This defies all logic!]
[Disciple, you must forge a strong bond with your cousin. Behind him stands an ancient powerhouse. If we latch onto him, even I might get a second life!]
Jiang Ruoxu: "..."
He broke into a cold sweat. His usually aloof master had never been this agitated before.
[You hear me? Cling to that thigh! I’m just a wisp of a soul now—outside this soul-nourishing ring, I’d vanish in seconds. But with his backing? I might get a new body!]
Jiang Ruoxu: "..."
...
Jiang Yunhuang didn’t refuse. He took the pill, hands trembling.
Then, he gazed solemnly at Jiang Che, his aged eyes brimming with complex emotions.
"A good child... To have a grandson like you—this old man is blessed."
With that, he swallowed the pill.
The effects of a supreme-grade Heaven-Breaking Pill were instantaneous. In a blink, Jiang Yunhuang’s inner energy surged violently.
Months ago, his vitality had withered, his bloodline exhausted, trapped at the peak of the Grandmaster realm with no hope of progress.
But now? After consuming Jiang Che’s Life-Extending Pill and several Vermilion Fruits, not only had his lifespan recovered, but his cultivation had also advanced. And now—Breaking Heaven!
"BOOM—"
A terrifying pressure erupted. His martial domain expanded hundreds of meters in an instant!
Guests still lingering in the Jiang household turned pale.
Especially the Grandmasters invited to the banquet—their eyes nearly bulged out.
"That old bastard... Did he really break through?!"
A daoist clutching a horsetail whisk shuddered, his inner energy suppressed so thoroughly he couldn’t even circulate it.
And he was a peak Grandmaster!
Yet he couldn’t even muster his energy under this pressure?
The Jiang clansmen, however, beamed with joy.
...
Jiang Che, standing closest, felt the impact most keenly.
The suppression of a martial domain wasn’t something talent could overcome.
A hundred peak Masters wouldn’t stand a chance against a single Grandmaster—under their domain, all skill was paper-thin.
Jiang Che managed to stay upright, but Jiang Ruoxu was flat on the ground, drenched in sweat, looking utterly pathetic.
Soon, the pressure vanished.
Jiang Yunhuang exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.
"Ahhh... Refreshing!"
"Feels like visiting a brothel in my youth."
Jiang Che, Jiang Ruoxu: "..."
Clearly, the old man had successfully ascended to the Breaking Heaven stage.
His aura was now restrained but carried an even more terrifying presence—like a dormant tiger, ready to strike.
