The Heavens begin by inheriting their grandfather's cheat ability

Chapter 36 Sect Status

Shi Xiaocui had been observing quietly from the side, but seeing that Shi Zhongyu's aura was gradually calming down, she stepped forward and swept her gaze over him like lightning.

With just one glance, she noticed something amiss. A look of surprise flashed across her face, but she couldn't contain her joy.

"Great...very good!"

She reached out and gently placed her hand on Shi Zhongyu's wrist. The moment her fingertips touched him, she felt a steady, mellow, and chilling internal force rushing towards her.

Although it did not deliberately unleash its power, it was already as deep and imposing as a mountain, far surpassing its former self.

"Excellent, excellent. Your meridians are several times wider than before, your dantian is full and abundant, and the purity and depth of your internal energy are as if you have undergone a complete transformation."

Shi Xiaocui withdrew her hand, nodding repeatedly, her tone full of surprise and satisfaction.

"I once gave your uncle the White Snake Pill, but unfortunately, the effect he absorbed was nowhere near as good."

"Previously, your internal strength was mediocre, but now, after consuming the White Serpent Elixir, your internal strength is even comparable to some disciples of the 'Ten Thousand' generation, coupled with your photographic memory!"

"From now on, when you practice the Golden Crow Saber Technique, you will definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort."

She gazed at Shi Zhongyu, her eyes gleaming.

"Seeing your performance, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"From now on, you possess both unparalleled talent and profound inner strength. Hehehe, I'd like to see how you perform after you take another step forward!"

Shi Xiaocui looked at Shi Zhongyu with anticipation in her eyes.

As Shi Zhongyu felt his own powerful inner strength, his respect for Shi Xiaocui grew even stronger.

"Grandma Shi, this boy will definitely not let you down."

Shi Xiaocui nodded in satisfaction, then, as if remembering something, she said softly, "Young Shi, you must not reveal the Golden Crow Blade Technique to anyone! Wait for the right opportunity to use it."

Shi Zhongyu didn't understand what a suitable opportunity was, but since Granny Shi had said so, he chose to comply.

"The boy will listen to his mother."

"Alright, alright, we'll have lunch here with Grandma today."

"yes!"

After lunch, Shi Zhongyu left the city lord's mansion.

As soon as he returned to the cabin, he saw several figures in front of it.

After Shi Zhongyu clearly saw the figures, his brows furrowed.

What are Li Zhongyi and his group looking for?

When Shi Zhongyu saw them, Li Zhongyi and the others also saw Shi Zhongyu.

Upon seeing the jade in the stone, they immediately shouted.

"Brother Shi!"

Then, one by one, they ran up to Shi Zhongyu with fawning smiles on their faces.

"You're finally back. We've been waiting for you for so long."

Shi Zhongyu glanced at Li Zhongyi and the others, his expression indifferent.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Zhongyi and the others quickly said, "Brother Shi, we've come to apologize to you."

"It was all our fault before. We delayed your training. We're here today to apologize."

Shi Zhongyu watched their performance with a cold expression.

Li Zhongyi and the others didn't care about Shi Zhongyu's cold face; after all, that's how geniuses are.

"Brother Shi, look, these are some supplements we pooled our money to buy to help you recover."

"This is a section of thousand-year-old snow ginseng, a specialty of the snowy region. It's excellent for warming and replenishing internal energy, and for healing injuries during practice. This is a secret medicinal wine made by the Snow Mountain Sect. It dispels cold, invigorates blood circulation, and helps with the flow of internal energy. It's a universally recognized treasure within the sect. And this..."

After Li Zhongyi finished his introduction, he gave instructions to the disciples around him.

"Go and put it inside for our Senior Brother Shi!"

"Wait a moment."

Shi Zhongyu called out to the disciple.

Upon hearing Shi Zhongyu's words, Li Zhongyi and the others nervously looked at Shi Zhongyu, waiting for him to speak.

Looking at the terrified expressions of these people, Shi Zhongyu felt somewhat bored.

He waved.

"Leave the gifts at the door and you may leave."

Li Zhongyi and the others were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, Brother Shi, for not holding our past mistakes against us."

"If Senior Brother Shi has any instructions in the future, he can just call us junior brothers directly."

Li Zhongyi and the others placed the gifts in front of and behind the door before leaving with fawning smiles.

"This is the world of martial arts!"

Shi Zhongyu sighed inexplicably.

Li Zhongyi and the others were just teenagers; it's unclear where they got all that cunning and shrewdness from.

I don't know if anyone is giving me pointers.

For the rest of the time, Shi Zhongyu didn't go anywhere; he just stayed in his room practicing his martial arts.

Early the next morning.

Shi Zhongyu was stunned when he saw the figure in front of him as soon as he pushed open the door.

"Uncle-Master Du!"

He had seen a figure moving earlier and thought it was Uncle Hua again, but he didn't expect it to be Du Wanchuan.

"Jade within a stone!"

Du Wanchuan looked at Shi Zhongyu with a complicated expression.

He took out a long sword and handed it to Shi Zhongyu.

"You won first place yesterday, and as your senior uncle, I've gotten you a precious sword."

"This sword is named Hanxiao, which means 'a cold blade reflecting the sky.' It is forged entirely from cold iron from the Western Regions mixed with fine steel from the snowy mountains."

"It is sharp and tough, capable of cutting through iron like mud, making it most suitable for someone with such outstanding swordsmanship as my junior brother."

Shi Zhongyu looked at Du Wanchuan and reached out to take the Hanxiao Sword.

"Thank you for bestowing this sword upon me, Uncle-Master. I will certainly not disgrace its reputation."

When Du Wanchuan saw Shi Zhongyu accept the sword, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.

However, considering Shi Zhongyu's talent, it's better to put an end to this feud.

"Shi Zhongyu, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can tell your uncle if it's inconvenient for you to bother him."

"Although your master's status is not as high as your master's, he is usually quite busy and may not have as much free time as I do."

Shi Zhongyu bowed with his hands clasped.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I will definitely ask for your help if I need anything in the future!"

"Alright, it's a deal."

Du Wanchuan returned home feeling relaxed.

Shi Zhongyu looked at the Cold Sky Sword in his hand, feeling a chill as soon as he touched it.

He drew the Cold Sky Sword, its blade as white as ice, its cold light restrained, not dazzling yet menacing.

"Huh, how come you have the Cold Sky Sword?"

Shi Zhongyu turned his head and saw that his Uncle Hua was walking over from a distance.

"You didn't steal Senior Brother Du's treasured sword, did you?! But wait... he gave it to you?"

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Hua. This sword was indeed a gift from Uncle-Master Du."

Hua Wanzi smiled.

"He's really generous. After he got this sword, he didn't even want to use it. He just kept it as a treasure."

"I never expected to give you the Cold Sky Sword."

As Hua Wanzi spoke, she changed the subject.

"Yesterday your master told you not to go to the martial arts arena, but today your uncle will take you somewhere else."

Shi Zhongyu was curious, but he didn't ask.

He followed Hua Wanzi and soon arrived at a place.

It is also a valley, located in the back mountain.

Hua Wanzi spoke up before Shi Zhongyu could even ask.

"This place was where our master used to practice his skills."

"It can also be considered a secret place of our Snow Mountain Sect!"

"The most amazing thing inside is a thousand-year-old ice bed; practicing on it for one day is equivalent to dozens of days of arduous training outside!"

Hua Wanzi stared at Shi Zhongyu with a half-smile as she spoke.

"Aren't you tempted?"

Shi Zhongyu was naturally moved by what his Uncle Hua said.

He took a deep breath.

"Uncle-Master Hua, tell me, what conditions are required?"
