Chapter 88 Consuming Snow Silkworms
"Uncle, come back with me. You're already respectfully called a master; there's really no need to insist that Tang San prove himself for you. Tang San is unlucky; he was born in the same era as me, and he's destined to remain unknown!"
At this moment, Yu Tianyun directly revealed the truth that Yu Xiaogang dared not face.
Yu Xiaogang did not answer Yu Tianyun's question. He still could not believe reality and chose to escape as always.
But Yu Tianyun didn't have that much patience. At this moment, he took out a jade box from his storage soul tool and said:
"Uncle, aren't you stuck at level 29 and unable to make any progress? I have a medicinal herb here that can help you break through your limitations and continue cultivating. In the future, you might even be able to cultivate to the Soul King level, or even the Soul Emperor level! Once your cultivation level improves, no one will laugh at you anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang finally reacted, his gaze shifting to the jade box in Yu Tianyun's hand. A hint of surprise flashed through his mind as he was excited about the herb Yu Tianyun mentioned that could help him break through the level 30 bottleneck.
But he didn't show it. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tianyun, you don't understand. Tang San has enormous potential. I've poured a lot of effort into him."
Yu Tianyun frowned and said, "Uncle, you're being too stubborn. Is it worth it for an outsider?"
Yu Xiaogang sighed: "Tianyun, you are still young and don't understand my expectations."
Yu Tianyun was somewhat angry: "I don't understand? All I know is that you disregard your own future and the call of your family for the sake of a complete stranger!"
Yu Xiaogang defended himself, saying, "Tang San is not an unrelated person; he is my disciple."
Yu Tianyun snorted coldly: "So what? Are you going to give up such a good opportunity for breakthrough because of him?"
Yu Tianyun didn't want to say any more to Yu Xiaogang, so he looked at Flander and said, "Dean Flander, could you arrange a quiet room for my uncle to absorb this herb?"
Flanders nodded in agreement without hesitation.
The group then followed Flander to a secluded wooden cabin.
Upon arriving at the wooden house, Yu Tianyun opened the jade box, handed the snow silkworm inside to Yu Xiaogang, and explained how to use it.
After Yu Xiaogang took it, there was some hesitation in his eyes, and he didn't make a move for a long time.
Yu Tianyun sighed, speechless, muttering to himself, "At a time like this, what are you still hesitating for?"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, looked at Yu Tianyun, and said, "Tianyun, do you have any extra herbs?"
Yu Tianyun decisively refused, "No! Uncle, you want one for Tang San, right?"
Yu Xiaogang looked quite embarrassed. That was indeed what he thought. He opened his mouth to say something, but Yu Tianyun didn't give him a chance and said directly:
"Uncle, stop daydreaming. Tang San has no connection with our sect. We would never give him such a precious herb. Whatever you say won't make a difference."
Also, Uncle, I'll make sure you take this herb. If you want to leave it for Tang San, then I'll take it back! Our sect isn't a charity!"
Yu Xiaogang was embarrassed when his nephew exposed his secret. He said angrily, "Tianyun, you child, you have no manners at all!"
Yu Tianyun didn't speak, but silently stared at the herbs in his hand.
Flander watched from the side without interrupting. No matter how much he valued Shrek Academy, he couldn't bring himself to ask Yu Tianyun to give the herb to Tang San.
Since they were not related, he had no reason to help Tang San. At the same time, he also hoped that his old brother could break through his limitations and advance to the Soul Master level.
Ning Rongrong didn't pay any attention to Yu Xiaogang at all. From everything that had happened before, she understood that Yu Tianyun's second uncle was someone who didn't know the difference between close and distant relatives. She felt sorry for Yu Tianyun and Yu Tianyun's grandfather!
At this moment, her gaze was fixed on the snow silkworm in Yu Xiaogang's hand. Hearing that this herb could help people break through bottlenecks, she couldn't help but think of the limitations of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.
She really wanted to ask Yu Tianyun for one, but she also knew that this kind of herb must be very valuable. Besides, Yu Xiaogang had only broken through the bottleneck of Soul Venerable, which was incomparable to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda breaking through the bottleneck of Soul Douluo. It might not be of any use.
After much deliberation, Ning Rongrong decided not to mention the matter to Yu Tianyun. Although she believed in her feelings for Yu Tianyun, she did not want their relationship to be involved in too many interests.
Yu Xiaogang stared at Yu Tianyun, but Yu Tianyun ignored him. Yu Tianyun finally understood that his second uncle was a traitor.
Yu Tianyun was extremely disappointed in him. He made up his mind that no matter whether he could persuade Yu Xiaogang to go back today, he would leave decisively after Yu Xiaogang ate the snow silkworm!
If Yu Xiaogang resolutely refuses to eat it and intends to leave it for Tang San, Yu Tianyun will not hesitate to snatch the Snow Silkworm back.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang saw that Yu Tianyun had no reaction and Flander did not say a word on his behalf.
He knew he was out of options, yet he was still deeply conflicted: "This snow silkworm is my hope for breakthrough, but if I give it to Xiao San, it might help him grow faster! It would definitely be much more effective than if I took it!"
Yu Tianyun was getting increasingly irritated: "How can this second uncle be so stubborn? We've already said all this, and he's still thinking about helping an outsider like Tang San."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Flander finally couldn't help but advise, "Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang, don't make a mistake. This is a rare opportunity, don't let Tianyun's good intentions go to waste."
Seeing that Flander was speaking up for Yu Tianyun, Yu Xiaogang became even more furious. He knew that if he didn't eat it, his nephew would really take the herb back, and Flander wouldn't help him stop Yu Tianyun either.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, slowly saying, "Tianyun, I...I'll eat!"
Flander, who had been worried sick for his old friend, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Yu Xiaogang would do something foolish and cause Yu Tianyun to take back the herbs. In that case, he would have no right to interfere in the matter, neither morally nor logically!
Yu Xiaogang picked up the snow silkworm and, following Yu Tianyun's instructions, removed the insect's body from the stem. He then put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
At this point, he had no room for regret, so he could only calm his mind, sit on the bed, and quietly begin his cultivation.
Time passed by, second by second.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. As the medicine took effect, a faint white light emanated from Yu Xiaogang's body, and a layer of black liquid continuously seeped from his body.
Not long after, Yu Xiaogang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes sparkled, and he looked much more energetic and younger.
But he didn't say anything more. Feeling the grime on his body, he turned around and walked out of the wooden house to find a place to take a bath and change his clothes.
A short while later, Yu Xiaogang returned. On the surface, he seemed no different, but upon closer inspection, one would find that he appeared to be a few years younger, with a more radiant complexion and a more reserved demeanor. He was also carrying Luo Sanpao, who seemed to have grown a bit bigger.
"Xiao Gang, how are you feeling?" Flander asked as he rushed to greet Yu Xiao Gang when he returned.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat strange. "More than thirty years have passed. I never thought that my long-cherished wish would actually come true. I have finally broken through the bottleneck that has existed for decades. My current soul power cultivation has also reached level 30."
Flander was overjoyed to hear the news and patted Yu Xiaogang on the shoulder, saying, "Xiaogang, congratulations! I'll personally accompany you to hunt for your third spirit ring!"
"Uncle, are you willing to come back with me now?" This was the last time Yu Tianyun asked Yu Xiaogang. No matter the outcome, he would leave with Ning Rongrong.
