Chapter 192: The Family head notices
Luke wasn't a hermit who spent years holed up in a room and meditating. The reason he wasn't at a higher level was not because he had long used all of his potential and there was no hope for future breakthrough. The early stage Void Refining Realm was the highest that he could reach.
Self-aware, Luke had started to spend more time in the real world. He was well aware of the recent trends and had even heard about this new drink called coffee, which had gotten unusually popular among the low-level cultivators.
And he absolutely despised this change. Whenever someone mentioned coffee in front of him, they would incur his displeasure.
Lyka was also aware of her grandfather's preferences, hence in the next moment, her face turned strange, and she looked at the white porcelain cup with a peculiar look in her eyes.
Although caught in a difficult situation, Luke decided to put aside his preferences for a moment and graciously accepted the coffee.
Under David's watchful eyes, he immediately took a gentle sip, and a dazed look appeared in Luke's eyes, as if he had been bewitched.
His entire body seemed to be filled with infinite energy, and a pleasant sensation filled his mind. Luke felt an incomparable sense of calmness and clarity that he had never felt before.
"This!" Discover stories at мѵʟ
A high-pitched shout unconsciously left his throat, and he appeared immensely moved.
The bottleneck that had been hindering his cultivation suddenly seemed to have loosened up and disappeared like smoke on a windy day.
This was an incredible opportunity!
Luke's eyes flashed with determination, and he immediately sat down, cross-legged in mid-air, his body slowly floating.
And in the next moment, a terrifying pressure surged out from Luke's body, making the surroundings collapse as if it was under tremendous pressure.
Lyka and Roxy were just about to be crushed by the pressure when the force that they were feeling suddenly disappeared.
"Ah! Fellow Daoist is breaking through," David offhandedly commented, as if the breakthrough had nothing to do with him.
And in the next few moments, Luke opened his eyes and glanced at David's figure. The level of shock that he was feeling right now couldn't be described with words.
It was almost a magical sensation.
Luke was a pretentious person; he immediately got up and bowed.
David only smiled and didn't say anything. Just as he was about to focus on something else, the air in front of him flashed, and a blue window appeared in front of him.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss.
Even if he died, the client will have to pay back somehow, therefore his soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one.
1 - Extract Client's Crystallion of Life (make you come, Grade - Uncommon)
2 - Extract Many Sins' memories from his birth till his death.
3 - Any item that the client owned in his lifetime.
4 - Do Nothing, let the compound interest do its thing and decide again when the Client dies in his next life.
Please note as capturing the soul and imprisoning it requires a large amount of mana, because of which you only have two weeks left to make a choice.]
The window was something which David would never get tired of seeing no matter how many times he looked at it.
Before he could even read the options, his face turned strange once he read the name of the poor guy, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously rose.
After a little smirk, he didn't waste his time and successfully consumed the Crystallization of Life.
Immediately a new prompt appeared in front of him.
[Crystallization of Life needed for Breakthrough: 2/100]
Including the ones that he got before this, this would be the third time he got the option to choose. Realizing this, David became a little excited and started to look forward to the future. It won't be long before he would be able to Breakthrough.
While he was at it, David also decided to take a look at his status report.

Immediately a smug smile appeared on his face. He was too OP these days, but suddenly he frowned. The list had gotten too big and was taking up a lot of space. He hoped the bank could shorten it once he broke through once more and give him some new features in the next update.
...
Crouching Tiger City,
Whitetooth Family Estate.
In the central hall of the estate, an important meeting to decide on various matters related to the clan was going on.
Various important elders waited for their turns and placed their requests before the family head, who looked at everything with a small smile on his face.
The head of the Whitetooth family was a broad-shouldered man with sharp gazes and a figure that stood straight as a spear.
Suddenly, the family head smiled and said, "Has the Young Master returned?"
In this case, he was talking about the genuine Young Master, the only true one - the rest were for decoration purposes.
His son had gone out to experience the outside world ten years ago, and given the time, it should be fine for him to return.
The family head wasn't worried about his son's safety, as when he had left, he was already at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although he still wanted to send some secret helpers to guard him, he realized that if these experts didn't disappear, his son would never return.
Blinded by love, the family head accepted the condition.
The family couldn't help but wonder how high his son could have reached, maybe he was already at the Mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Suddenly, the family head wanted to laugh at his own thoughts. When did this become this easy to Breakthrough at the Nascent Soul Realm? A single minor realm might take a full decade's worth of time.
Some of the elders who were closest to the family head noticed his mood and immediately started to kiss his ass.
"The Young Master is truly a millennial genius; he must be grandly welcomed."
"Truly, only a look can give birth to lions. Truly, we are far inferior."
The family head's outer appearance remained stoic, but inwardly, he was feeling pleased. After all, who didn't like to be praised?
He made a mental note of the two elders and decided to care for them in the future.
Bam!
At this time, the gate of the hall was forcefully pushed open, and a figure in disheveled clothing rushed inside.
"Family head! Something terrible has happened," the younger cultivator panted as he said those words in an aggrieved voice. Now only the family head could save them.
The family head, who was secretly feeling pleased, frowned and was disturbed by a miserable Foundation Building Realm cultivator.
But he didn't react hastily; he had to maintain the dignity of the family head.
"Quickly! Explain what happened," the family head demanded in a severe voice, with clear implications in his tone. If the Foundation Building Realm master was trying to get his attention for no reason at all...
Seeing the look everyone in the hall was giving him, the Young Master didn't dare to waste time and explained everything from the start to finish.
Immediately, words started to flow out of the Young Master's mouth, and the more people present listened, the graver their expressions became.
Some elders couldn't hold back and shouted, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
"What guts of this young man to treat the members of the Whitetooth family like this. Does he not want to live anymore?"
"To even kidnap one of the elders, that's just Direct slap to our faces."
The family head's eyes had already fallen into contemplation. In fact, the eyes of the family head were already on the divine figure.
He immediately realized the people standing beside David were none other than the members of his family.
Immediately his eyes narrowed and a look of absolute coldness filled his face. Someone dared to treat the members of Whitetooth family like this!
