Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Extend Life by Twenty Years_1

After three cycles of internal breath circulation, Elder Sun suddenly shook slightly and sat up in bed, bursting into loud laughter.

“Dad, has your martial prowess been restored?” Sun Lihua, seeing Elder Sun laughing heartily, thought that he was celebrating the recovery of his strength.

‘Haha, Master Xu, you are truly miraculous!’ Elder Sun didn’t answer Sun Lihua’s question but instead turned towards Xu Fan, preparing to pay him a deep respect.

“Elder Sun, there’s no need for such formalities.” Xu Fan swiftly extended his hand, steadying Elder Sun, who was about to bow deeply to him.

“No, it is necessary. Today I’ve successfully broken through the Body Tempering Realm and reached the Qi Drawing Realm, all thanks to your efforts. You not only pulled me back from the brink of death, but you also forged a new path for my martial cultivation that had been stagnating for decades. I, Sun Jin’an, cannot simply let this go. I must pay you respect, and it must be the respect of a disciple to a master!” Elder Sun asserted stubbornly to Xu Fan.

“What? Elder Sun, you’ve broken through the Body Tempering Realm and reached the Qi Drawing Realm?” Elder Lin, overhearing this, was also astonished.

Not only had Xu Fan brought Elder Sun back from death’s door, but he also advanced his martial cultivation further—a display of formidable power. Whether it was the effect of those two miraculous elixirs or the power transmitted by Xu Fan while aiding Elder Sun, Elder Lin, who had lived for so many years, had never encountered such a shocking event.

“Dad? Have you really made a breakthrough in your martial realm?” Sun Lihua, upon hearing Elder Sun’s words, almost shed tears.

Elder Sun, in his lifetime, was truly obsessed with the martial path, stepping into the Body Tempering Realm at a young age, yet due to an encounter with a martial artist from the East Sea during his youth, his dantian was injured, and his martial realm could no longer progress.

Elder Sun’s greatest wish in life was not to earn a fortune or to hold office but to truly break through the Body Tempering Realm that had stagnated for so many years.

As his body aged day by day, Sun Lihua thought that Elder Sun would almost certainly never fulfil this ideal in his lifetime, yet today, unexpectedly, he achieved this goal.

To the Sun Family, Xu Fan was nothing short of a savior.

“Haha, I’ve waited forty years, from a black-haired youth to a white-haired old man. I never expected that I would break through the Body Tempering Realm as death was knocking. Heaven, can you see? I, Sun Jin’an, am now also a Qi Drawing Realm martial artist!” Tears flowed from Elder Sun’s eyes as he muttered to himself, his face indescribably animated with excitement.

“Elder Sun, as the saying goes in Yan Country, ‘Those who escape great disasters will enjoy great fortune afterward.’ Right now, this saying proves true for you. Not only did you survive a calamity, but you also have the chance to break through to new martial realms in the future. Perhaps, even the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm is within reach,” Xu Fan said with a slight smile, speaking slowly to Elder Sun.

“Master Xu, are you saying that this old man can continue to cultivate and possibly even reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm?” Elder Sun asked Xu Fan with a hint of disbelief.

“Of course. The technique I used earlier not only healed your dantian and drew out your internal energy but also benefited your meridians and dantian substantially, which will be highly advantageous for your future cultivation. Your cultivation might not advance by leaps and bounds overnight, but at least it will far surpass your previous cultivation speed!” Xu Fan said with a smile, his tone brimming with certainty.

“Hahaha! It’s true—great fortune follows great disaster!” Elder Sun laughed heartily and then, with a spring-like motion, briskly leapt to the floor with agile movements.

Looking at him now, full of vitality, it was hard to imagine that just a few hours earlier, he had been an old man, weak and frail in his sickbed.

The first thing Elder Sun did after getting off the bed was to bow deeply to Xu Fan, bending his waist for three sincere bows.

“Thank you, Master Xu! This life of mine, Sun Jin’an, was given by you. I owe you my life!” This time, Elder Sun did not allow Xu Fan to stop him, earnestly delivering three deep bows to Xu Fan, a gesture fully resembling that of a disciple towards a master.

“Elder Sun, there’s no need to be so formal. Actually, for me, it was just a small effort, nothing so serious,” Xu Fan casually responded with a light-hearted smile.

Although Xu Fan spoke easily, to those around him, no one dared to think his capabilities were anything trivial. If this was considered a small effort, then perhaps in the world, there would really be no such thing as a difficult task.

“A small effort maybe, but it is equivalent to an extraordinary feat for me. From now on, if there’s anything where this old man can be of assistance, Master Xu need only ask,” Elder Sun said, his tone solemn.

“Good. As long as Elder Sun takes care of his health, there may be many times when Xu Fan will need Elder Sun’s help,” Xu Fan said with a gentle smile.

“Haha, without question, it’s my duty!” Elder Sun’s face was also marked with a smile.

Xu Fan seemed to feel that Elder Sun’s happiness was not exuberant enough and then said to him, “Elder Sun, do you remember the set of internal Qi exercises that I guided you through just now?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Sun thought carefully before slowly responding, “I remember. Do you mean this is your unique technique? Don’t worry, I, Sun Jin’an, hereby swear never to use Master Xu’s technique again…”

Elder Sun was interrupted by Xu Fan before he could finish speaking.

“Elder Sun, I think you’ve misunderstood me. Although the technique is miraculous, it is far from being considered exclusive. So, since you have learned it, consider it a gift from me. After completing your training, you should practice this technique often. It is a wood-attribute restorative technique, which, at advanced stages, even has the potential to preserve youth and extend life. So, when I said you could reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, I wasn’t just talking. As long as you persevere in practicing the technique I’ve taught you, increasing your lifespan by at least another twenty years is not out of the question,” Xu Fan said calmly.

“What!” Elder Sun was almost overjoyed to the point of fainting at Xu Fan’s news.

The idea of adding twenty years to one’s life.

If Xu Fan were to make this technique public, it’s estimated that people would be willing to pay hundreds of billions for it.

For the truly wealthy, money to them is just a series of numbers, and what they truly fear is death.

That’s why the ancient sovereigns of Yan Country did not hesitate to expend immense amounts of manpower and resources to search for the legendary elixir of immortality.

Although Xu Fan’s technique does not grant eternal life, adding twenty years to one’s life is already a rare blessing in the world.
