In the six months that have passed, Tianyu has now gotten used to living in the Qin Family. He has managed to keep himself to himself and avoid any troubles, however, that peace seems to be coming to an end. He had been informed this morning that at some time today, he would be summoned by the family head and need to go to the main hall.

After all this time living here, Tianyu had never been summoned. In fact, the last time he even met with the family head was when he first arrived and requested resources. At the time there wasn't any issue and Tianyu had received bottles of pills, but this quickly stopped. After his first month here, he never received anything again. He had thought about visiting the family head again once the resources stopped, but he decided not to.

Although not as great as the results could have been with more resources, in the past six months Tianyu's strength has soared. He had stuck to his plan of only training his Adamant Body Technique, this technique is quite miraculous. Although it seems quite easy to train, it is in fact torturous. It involves holding your body in certain poses for extended periods of time whilst circling your Qi. It may look stupid, but the effects that it has on the muscles are unbelievable. Due to this, Tianyu's body has bulked up, no longer looking skinny and weak. he now boasts some impressive muscles that are brimming with power. Combining this with his morning training, pushing himself beyond his limits every time, he now has a physique that men can only dream of.

His improvements in his Qi Cultivation have also been impressive. Before he could only slightly sense a tingling in the air. after following the guidance from his system, he is now able to control the Qi in his body and direct the flow to a certain extent. Right now with his Qi cultivation, he feels as though he has reached the ceiling of the initiate realm, and should be ready to break through anytime into the intermediate stage.

His training avatars have also been hard at work. Over this time period, he had completely mastered the Basic Polearm Technique and also mastered the Cloud Chasing Technique. Tianyu got very lucky with a sign-in attempt two months ago and received another polearm technique called the 'Raging Bull Technique'. So he has had the upgraded technique avatar training this technique. This technique, while powerful, also seems quite reckless to Tianyu as the name of the technique may suggest, it's a technique that abandons defense in favor of pure attacking power.

Over the months, Tianyu had kept up with signing in to the system daily. He had received many rewards, some more useful than others. There had been a myriad of pills, the best of which being a stamina-boosting pill, and he has also received many different techniques over this period. Unfortunately, most of them are not good for him, being techniques for the weapons he doesn't use, there are even some techniques that will not work with his Lightning Qi. He managed to get a few that would be helpful, such as a mounted combat technique, and even some lifestyle skills, such as sewing.

His best gain over this period from signing in was hands down the Elemental Fusion Technique. Although he is unable to use this technique until he enters the True Qi Realm, the possibilities of this skill are endless. He could cancel out the weakness of his Lightning Qi, or he could combine the strength of his Lightning Qi and improve his attacking potential. He could even decide on a completely different type of Qi to fuse with and give himself more variations in his attacks and defenses.

During this time, the youngsters Yinying and Guang have also improved by leaps and bounds. No longer looking skinny and malnourished, their complections have improved dramatically. Guang has become stronger and more confident, she has also picked up a lot of skills from Qin Li Mei, and Tianyu even taught her sewing from the skill he picked up. She has quickly turned into a very capable maid. Yinying has been following Tianyu for the entire six months and has been just as hard-working as Tianyu himself, without having a single complaint or taking a single day off. Alongside the morning training that they all take part in, Tianyu has made a special training program for Yinying to follow. This training program is specifically designed to train Yinying's speed and flexibility. Both of these aspects have since improved greatly.

Qin Li Mei has been happy over this time. Having more people around the house has stopped her from getting lonely and also given her a purpose in teaching Guang. She never complained but Tianyu can see just how happy she is to be able to feel useful again. She has long since started thinking of Guang and Yinying as her adoptive children, and treats them with love and care.

Over the entire six months, Tianyu had been focused on training and consolidating what he already had, so he hasn't spent any of his exp points. This gave him a huge exp pool totalling out to be 15,480 points. He had also gained a total of 540 recovery pills.

With the unease of being summoned to the family head looming over him, he decided that now would be a good time to spend some of his points as assurance. With this in mind, he informed Yinying that he would be locking himself in his room in order to break through, and that nobody is to disturb him until he comes out. After receiving his instructions, Yinying nodded to Tianyu and stood watch outside his door.

Tianyu had two ideas in mind which would bring him the most strength, and he set his plan into action. The first thing to do was to raise his realm to the peak of the Foundation Realm. He wanted to raise a major realm into the True Qi Realm, especially knowing his Elemental Fusion Technique was waiting for him. But that would be too forced and his foundation would be lacking.

[Host, do you want to spend 8500 exp points in order to raise to Foundation Realm: Peak?]

"Yes," was his immediate response.

[Processing...]

Moments later, Tianyu felt energy flowing around his body. His skin tingled and the hair on his arms and legs stood on end as small sparks crackled along his skin. Tianyu inhaled deeply and felt a boundless energy and great strength flowing through his body. He wasn't planning on going out and punching the closest tree this time, however.

He had already done some planning over this next step, so he didn't need to think too much about it.

"Sophia, I'd like to spend 5000 exp points on the low-tier lightning elemental bloodline," The reason why he was so sure about this purchase was that he found out that with the system, he could also spend exp points to enhance his bloodline. Although this could cost a ridiculous amount of exp points to raise to the highest level, the benefits of owning a bloodline, especially a bloodline that benefits your Qi nature, are undeniable.

[Processing...]

Once again, Tianyu felt power coursing through his body, his skin started to have a blue hue to it. Moments passed and he began to sweat, each droplet of sweat seemed to carry an electric current. The blood in his body seemed to be charged and coursed through his veins. It didn't take long for a smelly black fluid to start to excrete from his pores. The current that was flowing through his entire body was getting rid of all impurities. After about an hour, Tianyu slowly opened up his eyes with a spark, and behind his pupils, a storm was raging.

[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking your bloodline. Reward: 1x gacha ticket]
