My Brother's the Protagonist? Good Thing I Awakened My System!

Chapter 135  Farewell and New Chapter

The next few days in the Feng Clan were marked by heartfelt farewells. The clan bid goodbye to Feng Mei, Feng Xiaoyu, and Feng Yun, each embarking on their own journeys.

For Feng Mei and Feng Xiaoyu, a group of elders from the Icy Veil Sect personally came to escort them, further highlighting how much they valued the two of them. The sight of the sect's representatives, clad in their elegant robes, left a lasting impression on the clan members.

It was reminiscent of the time when Ling Meiyu had visited, but unlike the arrogance and condescension displayed by the Mystic Flame Sect, the representatives of the Icy Veil Sect were exceptionally respectful, particularly toward Feng Chen.

On the other hand, Feng Yun set off on his own, as he had planned. Feng Chen wasn't stingy and gave each of them a Hundred Thousand Gold Coins which could be considered an astronomical amount.

The reason was that he didn't know when they would meet again, and it could be considered pocket money for a year or two.

And this little money was nothing for Feng Chen.

With the three having departed, the Feng Clan returned to its usual rhythm. Feng Chen, having seen them off, decided to focus on his own cultivation as well. He took out the Nascent Soul Formation Pill which was a Rank 6 pill used for increasing the cultivation of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

It was a very rare pill in Azure Sky Empire since creating such a pill would need a grade Alchemist and there was only one person who was in that stage.

Of course, Feng Chen didn't get those pills from the Pill King and it was from the System Store.

It cost him 50,000 System Points to get 10 bottles of such pills.

"This better be worth it!"

Feng Chen muttered bitterly. He hoped that the alchemist that they were nurturing could grow faster as he wouldn't need to waste his System Points to get such pills.

Who knows just how many System Points he might need if he wants to break through to the Spirit Severing Stage if his only option of getting the pills was his System Store?

Anyway, right now, he doesn't have many options and uses his System Points.

With so many Nascent Soul Formation Pills, Feng Chen wanted to try to break through a minor realm.

Coupled with the Heavenly Veil Formation and Celestial Harmony Necklace, he was confident that he could do it in a month or two.

"Let's do it!"

****

With Feng Chen and the Grand Elders in seclusion, most of the clan's responsibility fell into Elder Wei's hands.

However, Elder Wei was happy to take on the role. With the clan no longer facing any financial difficulties, his main task was simply to supervise operations, which ran smoothly without major issues.

Of course, he didn't dare slack off and ensured that everything was running perfectly, making sure everyone was fulfilling their duties properly.

Feng Chen's rules for the clan were generous, but there was one offense that carried the harshest punishment: corruption.

Though the clan had not yet encountered this issue, Feng Chen made it clear that if anyone were found guilty of corruption, they would not only be expelled from the clan but also have their cultivation stripped away.

Feng Chen firmly believed that corruption was akin to betrayal, and those who committed this crime should be treated no differently than traitors.

With the clan's newfound wealth, Elder Wei needed to be extra careful to ensure that no one was embezzling funds.

Elder Wei also needed to meet with several clan leaders who had come to greet or congratulate Feng Clan for their victory with many gifts.

Apart from that, the Feng Clan continued to grow stronger with each passing day. Among the younger generation, nearly all had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, with many even advancing to the Core Formation Stage. The older generation was equally diligent. Those not occupied with clan duties focused intensely on their cultivation, and two members from Elder Wei's generation had successfully broken through to the Grand Qi Condensation Realm, one of which was Elder Wei. Two months passed swiftly within the Feng Clan. The days were marked by steady progress as the clan members honed their skills and strengthened their foundation.

The clan's businesses flourished, the younger generation showed remarkable growth, and the newfound strength of the clan became a subject of admiration among neighboring clans.

CRACK!

It was during the early morning of the first day of the third month that the doors to Feng Chen's seclusion chamber slowly creaked open. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A wave of powerful energy swept through the area, sending ripples of spiritual pressure across the Feng Clan estate. Those powerful elders nearby instinctively turned toward the source, their hearts racing as they felt the unmistakable aura of Feng Chen whose power seemed to have increased beyond their recognition.

"System, show me my status!"

Feng Chen quickly said.

A light flickered before him, and a detailed interface appeared.

Sigh!

Feng Chen had succeeded in advancing to the Mid Nascent Soul Realm, but he was disappointed. He had been aiming to break through to the Top-level Nascent Soul Realm but fell short by a little bit.

Anyway, being able to advance to Mid Nascent Soul Realm should already be enough.

However, he couldn't help but be a bit disappointed since there was also a chance that he could have advanced one more minor realm.

It was like aiming to pass an exam and ending up with a 79—better than expected, but just shy of the 80 which you could have gotten.

"This Artifact is better than I expected!"

Feng Chen exclaimed as he looked at the Celestial Harmony Necklace. Although the cultivation increase wasn't exactly 3 times when used with Heavenly Veil Formation, it was at least 2.5x which is also very good.

If not for this, Feng Chen wouldn't have even thought about breaking into the Top Nascent Soul Realm.

"Nephew, welcome back! Congratulations on your breakthrough." Elder Wei said, his tone filled with genuine admiration. Although he couldn't accurately guess just at what stage Feng Chen was, he could feel from Feng Chen's aura that he had become stronger than before.

Feng Chen nodded.

"Thank you, Elder Wei. How have things been in the clan during my absence?"

"Everything has been running smoothly, Nephew. The younger generation continues to progress rapidly, and businesses have flourished. There have been no issues of note." Elder Wei reported diligently.

"Good!" Feng Chen replied, satisfied.

"Is there anything that requires my attention?"

Feng Chen asked.

"Actually, Nephew!" Elder Wei began, his expression thoughtful. "There is one matter that might require your attention."

Feng Chen raised an eyebrow. "What is it?" "The Zhu Clan Leader is celebrating his 70th birthday soon, and they've invited you to attend."
