Chapter 413 - Four Bodyguards Grandfather's Qi Was Not Right
Jiang Hao's voice rang out once again.
“Sit cross-legged right where you are, take the medicine first, then the Martial Cultivator Pill!”
“Today, I will help you all ascend to the rank of middle-grade martial cultivators in one fell swoop!”
Upon hearing this, the four were overjoyed and promptly followed his instructions without a moment's delay.
With the medicine ingested, their loyalty to Jiang Hao swelled boundlessly.
And as the Martial Cultivator Pill took effect, a formidable presence burst forth from each of them.
Their bodies transformed drastically under the power of the Mortal Pill, as a surge of energy flowed through them.
They felt a newfound strength coursing through their veins, as if shattering rock with a punch was within their grasp.
Jiang Hao handed Jia Renjie a Loyalty Potion, falsely claiming it to be a different kind of enhancement drug.
Once Jia Renjie took the potion, Jiang Hao seized the moment to act, infusing Vital Essence into his body and using the Icy Jade Needle to stimulate his acupoints.
Jia Renjie's breakthrough to the Fourth Grade was immediate.
When the five regained consciousness, their faces brimmed with heartfelt thanks.
In his effort to train four bodyguards, Jiang Hao had spared no expense.
The Human Pill given to Du Mannchang was a lower-grade version obtained from the remains of Chen Qi.
The Human Pills the others received came from the remains of the First, Second, and Third Elders.
Now, Du Mannchang had soared to the Fifth Grade, while the rest had vaulted from mere mortals to the Fourth Grade.
Jiang Hao then reunited them with their families and briefed them on their roles.
Du Mannchang would serve as the butler, Tang Qi as Jiang’s father's bodyguard and sparring partner, Liang Rou would assist her mother, and Liang Bing would accompany Jiang Zixuan.
With his family under their watchful eye, Jiang Hao's mind was at ease.
As he was settling in to await the start of school, an urgent call from the Old Master came through.
The Old Master's voice was tinged with concern, urging Jiang Hao to make haste back to his ancestral home.
After quickly updating his parents, Jiang Hao sped off to his hometown.
Upon arrival, he was greeted by the sight of his grandfather, who, to his surprise, seemed even stronger.
”Grandpa!” Jiang Hao exclaimed, delighted for him.
But his joy was short-lived as he noticed something amiss with the Old Master's health.
A martial cultivator's Qi and blood should grow stronger with their cultivation level!
Yet, there was a pallor to Old Master's face and a chilling presence in his aura.
Jiang Hao's face fell, anxiety setting in.
Old Master, catching Jiang Hao's concerned look, wasted no time on pleasantries.
“Hao Hao, follow me,” he said.
With that, he stepped outside, leaving Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt bewildered. Jiang Hao reassured them quickly.
“Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, Grandpa and I are just stepping out for a bit. We'll be back soon.”
Then, he hurried after Old Master.
Outside, with no one else in sight, Jiang Hao walked alongside his grandfather.
“Grandpa, your Qi and blood feel off. Have you encountered some trouble?” Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask.
Old Master paused, then turned to face Jiang Hao with a serious look.
“Hao Hao, you've noticed?”
Jiang Hao simply nodded.
Old Master wasn't surprised. His grandson was profoundly skilled in the martial arts and had surpassed everyone else.
It was no shock that he had detected the issue with his Qi and blood.
With such an exceptional grandson, Old Master felt his life was complete.
“Hao Hao, I asked you to come back because I need you to take your Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and their families away from here,” Old Master said gravely.
“We can no longer stay in Jiang Village.”
