Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Tricked Lame

“What? There’s someone else?” Chen Wei, as a master on the verge of being an Innate Master, had senses that were incredibly sharp. If there was anyone lurking nearby, it would not escape his detection.

Yet at this moment, besides the family members, he only sensed the presence of Fang Jueyu and Wang Cong. He felt absolutely no other presence, which indicated to him this individual’s strength certainly exceeded his own, even reaching beyond the Innate level.

As a dazzling illusion appeared, a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties materialized next to Fang Jueyu. Alongside him were several exquisite boxes, each wrapped in high-grade red silk.

But the most astonishing thing was that his hands did not make contact with these boxes at all. The boxes were entirely hovering in mid-air, a feat only achievable by someone with strength beyond the Innate level.

“Chen Family Master, Chen Wei, greets the senior!” In the Ancient Martial World, strength was revered, and Chen Wei dared not put on airs as the family head.

However, the sullen, expressionless man did not even spare him a glance and instead meekly walked to Fang Jueyu’s side, saying, “Young Master, I’ve brought all the items.”

“Young Master?” Chen Wei was shocked. Hearing this title, this Innate expert was merely a subordinate to Fang Jueyu, perhaps even a house servant? Isn’t he the world’s richest man? How could he possibly have such a background?

Even with subordinates who were Innate Masters, could there possibly be someone at the Heavenly Human Realm behind him? Impossible. No martial artist at the Heavenly Realm had made their presence known so far!

“Gu Yi, show the betrothal gifts to the Chen Family Master, so they won’t say we were disrespectful,” Fang Jueyu said.

“Yes, Young Master!” Gu Yi gently raised his hand, and the boxes promptly arranged themselves neatly in front of Chen Wei. With a light flick of his fingers, the silk unraveled, and the lids of the boxes lifted open.

In an instant, a rich and refreshing aroma of pills filled the house. Inside the boxes were delicate porcelain bottles. Besides these, there were also ten thick books.

As the head of the Chen family, Chen Wei’s insights were naturally incomparable to ordinary people. The contents were undoubtedly all pills.

“1,000 second-grade pills, Qi Gathering Pills, 100 fourth-grade pills, Hua Jing Pills, 50 fifth-grade pills, Gang Transformation Pills, and 10 eighth-grade pills, Innate Pills! This is our sincerity!” Fang Jueyu said.

“Ei—eighth-grade pills?” Chen Wei almost tied his mouth into knots. Since the earliest Alchemists vanished, it had been hundreds of years since pills above the Fifth Grade had appeared.

Just the appearance of a Fifth Grade pill would incite a frenzied scramble, let alone an Eighth Grade pill. Chen Wei even doubted how to assess their authenticity.

“Chen Family Master, here are the effects of these pills, please take a look!” Fang Jueyu handed over a red note.

“How the hell did you prepare all this?” Wang Cong thought Fang Jueyu carried nothing with him!

“I’m not telling you!” Fang Jueyu laughed. He had long hidden these things in his ring.

“Hua Jing Pill helps someone at the Hidden Force Peak break through to the Force Transform within one hour, boosting the strength of a Hidden Force martial artist by one to three levels in a short time.”

“Gang Transformation Pill helps someone at the Peak of Transformation Realm break through to the Gangjin within three hours, boosting the strength of a Transformation Realm martial artist by one to three levels in a short time.”

“Innate Pill has an 80% chance to help a martial artist at the Peak of Gangjin advance to Innate, boosting the strength of a Gangjin martial artist by one to three levels in a short time.”

Reading over the effects of these pills, Chen Wei’s hand holding the betrothal note trembled slightly. These pills were enough to create a peak-level family!

The entire Chen family, including Chen Wei, had more than twenty martial artists at the Peak of Gangjin. These ten Innate Pills were essentially like gifting the Chen family ten Innate experts!

“By the way, was there news that some ancestor of the Sun family might break through to the Heavenly Realm?” Fang Jueyu had just heard about the Sun family’s matters from Chen Menghan. “Then I will also gift you a master of the Heavenly Realm!”

The Heavenly Realm was equivalent to an intermediate stage among Hidden Elementers. Among the pills left to him by a Fang Jueyu ancestor, were plenty that could help boost their strength.

As if performing magic, a golden pill suddenly appeared in Fang Jueyu’s hand, which he tossed to Chen Wei.

“Chen Family Master, this is a Ninth Grade Hidden Essence Pill. Within a few years, it will be enough for an Innate Martial Artist to advance to what’s known as your Heavenly Realm.”

“What?” Chen Wei barely caught the pill in his hand. A Ninth Grade pill—almost worthy of being called an Immortal Pill—could create a Heavenly Realm master. If this news spread, it would definitely cause a fierce and bloody storm in the Chen family, with Innate experts killing each other over it.

“Aren’t you afraid I might pocket these pills for myself?” Chen Wei asked.

“You wouldn’t dare, nor do you have the ability!” With Gu Yi by his side, Fang Jueyu’s confidence was almost overwhelming.

“May I ask where these pills are sourced from?”

“They’re from my master,” Fang Jueyu casually said. “Recently, my master came to visit me in the secular world. It so happened that Wang Cong was visiting my home. Seeing Wang Cong’s exceptional talent, he took him as a disciple. Today, I am here on behalf of my master’s command to propose for my junior brother!”

“Oh, and there are those ten books, which contain ten high-level martial arts, including swordsmanship, boxing, and palm techniques, all Seventh Grade and above!”

“This kid is a hell of a liar!” Wang Cong nearly burst out laughing on the side, amused by the fabrication of a nonexistent master.

“This kid has exceptional talent?” Chen Wei sized up Wang Cong repeatedly; he seemed ordinary in every way. At his age, his starting point was far behind others; how could he achieve great success?

But Chen Wei had no doubt about the teacher behind Fang Jueyu. Without an unimaginably powerful teacher, how could someone so young become a master on the verge of Innate? How could he produce so many advanced pills and martial arts?

“My master said, with Wang Cong’s talent, within one to two years, he can become Innate, reach Heavenly in three years, achieve a Divinity Transformation in five years, and break through to the God Transformation Realm within twenty years with ease!”

Sweat was visibly forming on Chen Wei’s forehead. In a world where a strong person with Divinity Transformation was unheard of, attaining the God Transformation Realm in twenty years seemed like utter nonsense!

“Oh, by the way, you may not believe me when I say I haven’t even been cultivating for half a year! Although my junior brother Wang Cong’s talent is slightly less than mine, he’s still a genius!” Fang Jueyu continued to bluff.

As long as he joined the Super God Academy and had enough pills, even a pig could be raised to Innate.

“May I ask, what is the respectable master’s realm?” Chen Wei cupped his hands courteously.

“I don’t know, but even my guard Gu Yi is at the Divinity Transformation Realm. Gu Yi, show Chen Family Master some flying skills!”

“Yes, Young Master!” Gu Yi felt like he had become a performing acrobat these days.

When Gu Yi hovered in mid-air, Chen Wei’s mental defenses were completely shattered.

“Divinity Transformation! Truly a master of Divinity Transformation!” Chen Wei nearly knelt before Gu Yi.

If even a guard was at the Divinity Transformation Realm, just how terrifying was Fang Jueyu’s master? What realm was he at? Saint level?

Suddenly, he looked at Wang Cong with eyes full of intense fervor. Compared to the Sun family, Wang Cong’s potential was a thousand times greater!

“Marry! My daughter must marry him! This opportunity won’t come again; I must seize it, even if it means offending the Sun family!”

“Damn, your dad’s really been conned by Fang Jueyu!” Seeing Chen Wei’s expression, Wang Cong knew that now there was no longer any obstacle between him and Chen Menghan!
