Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

A cascade of regret brewed in Elder Gao's heart.

Perhaps he still had a chance to salvage things; he decided to wait until Xia Liu completed his cultivation and then act accordingly.

"No wonder he's the number one genius in the realm, managing to advance from the eighth level of Qi Cultivation to the eleventh level in such a short time."

Seeing Xia Liu reach such a realm, Lu Fang could only look up in admiration, as there was nothing else he could do.

"Lu Fang, what do you mean by advancing from the eighth level to the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation?"

Lu Mu, hearing his son's exclamation, couldn't help but inquire.

Liu Hong and Elder Gao also perked up their ears.

It seemed they were about to discover something even more terrifying.

"Dad, let me be honest with you. A few days ago, when I met Brother Xia in Doomsday Valley, he was only at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation..."

Then Lu Fang recounted the events of meeting Xia Liu one by one.

"Are you saying that when in Doomsday Valley, his cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation?"

Lu Mu looked at his son in disbelief.

Lu Fang had never lied since he was a child, but Lu Mu felt this time it might be a lie.

How could anyone in the world advance three levels in just one or two months?

Even a monster of talent couldn't do it.

"Yes, Sister Mingyue knows it too."

Lu Fang felt his father didn't believe him, so he brought Liu Mingyue into the conversation.

"Mingyue, tell everyone, when in Doomsday Valley, was he really only at the eighth level of Qi Cultivation?"

Lu Mu didn't believe it. He really didn't believe it.

If Lu Fang dared to lie, he promised he would make him suffer for it.

"It's almost certain, he managed to advance to the tenth level for two reasons: he swallowed a Jade Pure Lotus Seed and absorbed the Energy of Yin Sha in Doomsday Valley."

"Damn!"

Liu Hong, at the fifteenth level of Qi Cultivation and with excellent self-restraint, couldn't help but curse in front of his daughter.

"For heaven's sake! Is he still human?"

Lu Mu couldn't help it either; how long had it been since the events at Doomsday Valley? Less than two months, right?

In less than two months, Xia Liu had advanced once more!

And in Doomsday Valley, he had advanced two levels in a row!

In the Huaxia Realm, such a thing was nearly impossible, yet he managed to do it!

Liu Hong and Lu Mu panted heavily, trying to calm their emotions.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find peace.

This news exploded in their hearts like a bomb, uncontrollable and overwhelming.

Elder Gao was utterly stunned.

So shocked he didn't know what to do.

Only now did he understand how terrifying the existence he doubted truly was.

If Yun Hai was a young genius cultivator,

then Xia Liu was surely a monster!

A unique monster cultivator across the ages.

How old could he possibly be, probably about the same age as Liu Mingyue, right?

Having such cultivation before the age of thirty and still possessing an unfathomable future.

Terrifying indeed!

After finalizing his cultivation, Xia Liu stood up on the spot.

Opening his arms, feeling the inexhaustible power within him, he revealed a confident smile.

Finally!

He had returned to the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation.

And only a little more to reach the twelfth level!

This he didn't regret.

What is meant to come will eventually come.

What doesn't belong to oneself, should not be forced.

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, he expelled the muddy air from his body.

His body once again felt as light as it used to.

"Senior Liu, Sect Master Lu!"

Xia Liu bowed in the air.

He was very sincere, knowing full well if it weren't for the permission of these two, he wouldn't have made it to Qingyun Peak.

If not for Qingyun Peak, reaching the peak of the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation might have taken much longer.

At this critical time, gaining some cultivation was immensely beneficial to himself.

Similarly, he also had to thank Lu Fang and Liu Mingyue.

Because of them, he was able to meet Liu Hong and Lu Mu.

Thus he had this opportunity today.

"Ha! You're too kind!"

Liu Hong laughed heartily, stepping forward to pat Xia Liu on the shoulder.

Witnessing the rise of an unparalleled powerhouse in his lifetime was in itself a gratifying event.

"Miss Liu, Brother Lu, thank you!"

Xia Liu would not forget that it was because of them that he had this chance.

In the future, should he have the ability, he would surely repay Qingyun.

"Brother Xia, you're really too courteous. Meeting you is what makes me grateful."

Lu Fang dared not forget it.

In Doomsday Valley, Xia Liu had saved him multiple times.

If not for him, both Lu Fang and Liu Mingyue would have perished there.

"Great Elder!"

Just as Xia Liu wanted to say something more, two elders who had been at the foot of Qingyun Peak came up.

They were extremely excited.

Because just now, they felt a power, quite unusual.

Unable to contain their excitement, they came up.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Congratulations on your advancement!"

The two cupped their fists and said in unison.

"Don't joke with me, do I still have the chance to advance? It was merely a fluctuation in the Spirit Gathering Array."

Liu Hong laughed at himself and pointed at those distant jade pillars.

"Ah? Could it be all the changes in Qingyun Peak were due to the Spirit Gathering Array?"

"That shouldn't be possible."

The two elders looked puzzled, sensing this shouldn't be the case.

But drawing close to the Great Elder, they couldn't sense that domineering aura from him.

"The main figure today is Xia Liu. His condition has recovered. Go and have everyone disperse. The morning after tomorrow, those disciples who received the notice will accompany me to the Immortal Sect competition venue!"

Liu Hong said.

"Yes!"

The two elders responded in unison, scanning Xia Liu with their Divine Sense, finally confirming he no longer appeared heavily injured.

Although surprised, realizing they came up somewhat abruptly, they quickly took their leave.

When the two departed, everyone except Xia Liu was bewildered.

Why didn't Liu Hong reveal the truth to those two elders?

"Elder Gao, Qingyun is unstable lately, some things mustn't be spoken out loud, especially regarding Xia Liu, not a word can be leaked."

After Liu Hong ensured no one else was around, he began to instruct.

"Alright, I understand."

Elder Gao was a wise man.

No secrets could be exposed before the Immortal Sect competition.

Moreover, the five Immortal Sects were always in rivalry.

There was no guarantee that there were no spies from other sects within the Immortal Sect.

"Just as long as you understand. Go now, speak briefly to the disciples below, there's no qualification Xia Liu won't hold firm to in the competition."

"Yes, I know how to handle it."

Elder Gao had no more doubts.

Especially after witnessing Xia Liu reach the peak of the eleventh level of Qi Cultivation.

He had caused havoc for Yun Hai even at the tenth level.

In matches against Yun Hai now,

Perhaps Yun Hai would no longer stand a chance.

"Mingyue, Little Fang, you two as well, Xia Liu's matter must not be known to others."
