Chapter 627 Senior Brother’s Family Matters

The servant who was stopped by Zhou Yiqiao was ecstatic. Under the envious eyes of others, he saluted Zhou Yiqiao again.

"As far as I can tell you, Fifth Young Master, it has been nearly twenty years since the Young Master last retreated."

"Huh? Twenty years?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.

"Senior Brother Shen, has he ever returned to the mountain gate?"

Zhou Yiqiao did not forget that he still had the position of helping Shen Kuo guard the mountain gate. If he wanted to go to the sect to participate in the massacre feast, he would need to return this position to the other party before that.

"After the Fourth Young Master left for the family, he has never returned to the mountain gate."

"How could this be?"

Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly, and after throwing an extra pill to this servant, he jumped back to the sword-washing pool.

Hurriedly summoning Liu Yun, the most well-informed among his subordinates, Zhou Yiqiao asked straight to the point.

"Do you know what happened to the family of my fourth senior brother? Why did you never return to the sect after returning to the family for twenty years?"

Liu Yun seemed to be flattering and congratulated Zhou Yiqiao on his great achievement, and then reported the report seriously.

"Reporting to the young master, it is said that the father of the fourth young master is seriously injured and is dying. The fourth young master returned to the clan to help his father take care of the family affairs."

"As for why I haven't returned yet..."

Liu Yun was about to speak but stopped.

"Dake it clear that I won't pursue it."

Liu Yun took a reassurance before continuing.

"It is rumored that it is because the Fourth Young Master's father's injury has not healed yet, and his life is even in danger!"

"Oh?"

Zhou Yiqiao narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into silence.

As Shen Kuo's junior brother, he also deliberately understood Shen Kuo's family situation, and clearly knew that Shen Kuo's father, the head of the Shen family, was a powerful man in the late stage of virtual refining.

In Yongzhou, except for the Fusion Realm monks, there are very few methods that can injure a great master in the late stage of Void Refining.

Not to mention, the method that can make the other party not healed even after twenty years of recuperation.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao's confusion, Liu Yun mumbled a few words, and finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Master, I once heard a rumor in the auction house. The reason why the head of the Shen family has not recovered for twenty years is probably a fake news released by the Shen family in order to conceal the truth about his life and death."

"presumptuous!"

Zhou Yiqiao shouted loudly upon hearing this, interrupting Liu Yun's intention to continue speaking.

"I'll pretend I've never heard of this. If you dare to leak even a little bit, be careful with your head!"

"The master's lesson is that the little one will just talk here and never dare to go out and talk nonsense."

Liu Yun was so frightened that he trembled all over and waved his hands repeatedly to express his loyalty.

He knew that this was Zhou Yiqiao's warning to him, because he was afraid that he would be killed if he said anything he said after taking it out.

Zhou Yiqiao glanced at Liu Yun, thinking that the other party must have understood what he was thinking before he spoke coldly.

"Stay back!"

Liu Yun agreed repeatedly, exited Zhou Yiqiao's courtyard, turned around and ran quickly, as if there was a poisonous snake following behind him.

After Liu Yun left, Qijian quickly walked to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Master, Brother Tianxing gave me the pure spirit stone before he went into seclusion. Now that the master is out of seclusion, Seven Swords will return it to the master."

"You did very well."

Zhou Yiqiao praised aloud, and then took five crystal clear light blue crystals from Qijian's hands.

He gently held it, and the pure spirit stone spun rapidly in his hand.

Huge spiritual power surged out crazily from the pure spirit stone. In just one breath, the spiritual power in the entire Shenjian Tower was reduced by more than one level.

This spiritual power is as thick as a mountain and seems to contain endless energy.

Zhou Yiqiao and Qijian were trapped in this spiritual power, and there were faint signs that the spiritual power in their Dantian was being affected again.

"What a rich spiritual power!"

Qijian exclaimed, and then he didn't even care about the defeat. He sat cross-legged and hurriedly used his own skills.

Above his head, a light brown spiritual energy vortex was rapidly condensing at an indescribable speed.

"Is this about to break through!?"

Zhou Yiqiao was surprised for a while, then quickly relieved.

Although Qijian has delayed his practice in order to help him deal with trivial matters in the world over the years, after all, he has been looking forward to it for so long at the beginning of Jindan, and it is only reasonable to take this opportunity to break through the realm.

Regarding the Seven Swords, Zhou Yiqiao will not be stingy in any way.

With a flick of his finger, a pure spiritual stone that had not yet been warmed flew to the top of Qijian's head. It exploded instantly and turned into extremely pure spiritual power and merged into the spiritual vortex above Qijian's head.

These pure spiritual stones were obtained from Jiange because Zhou Yiqiao wanted to quickly improve his cultivation.

Although I am temporarily unable to use it because I need to lay a solid foundation, since Seven Swords can now use this object, it does not count as letting this object become dusty.

"Buzz!"

After a strange sound, the vortex suddenly expanded several times.

Perhaps the spiritual power in the pure spiritual stone was too huge. The vortex only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and then it was difficult to maintain balance.

The majestic spiritual power pours into Qijian's Dantian. Under the control of Qijian, it slowly flows throughout the body and is completely transformed into its own strength.

Zhou Yiqiao stood quietly and observed the changes of Seven Swords, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Although the effect is somewhat different from what I expected, it is still worthy of the name of pure spiritual stone."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded frequently, thinking secretly in his heart.

According to common sense, it would take at least three days for Seven Swords to achieve such a breakthrough.

But since pure spirit stones are used, it is naturally impossible for Seven Swords to advance step by step. Otherwise, this precious material will be wasted.

There was faint golden light overflowing from the Dantian of Seven Swords. Zhou Yiqiao knew that this was caused by the continuous infusion of spiritual energy into the Dantian after the Dantian of Seven Swords had been filled.

"Hold your heart, I'll help you compress these spiritual powers."

Zhou Yiqiao appeared in front of Qijian, stretched out his hand and slapped him behind the back.

"Boom!"

There was a violent vibration in the Dantian of Seven Swords, and the spiritual energy that was already close to saturation surged rapidly, crashing and rolling like waves in the Dantian of Seven Swords.

The light brown spiritual power was continuously compressed and refined at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually turning into an earthy color.

"Boom!"

The spiritual power was finally strong enough to help Qijian attack the acupoints. It was as if Qijian's back head was lightly tapped by a mallet, turning on a switch, and the spiritual power vortex surged instantly.

A huge power suddenly erupted from Qijian, blowing down a large amount of debris in the room.

Zhou Yiqiao returned to his original position, and Qijian finally opened his eyes.

He hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhou Yiqiao, his tone full of joy.

"Thank you for your help, Master!"
