C17 Paraphrase
Wu Haiya's face was filled with surprise. He had originally felt very surprised that Wu Hui had made a breakthrough, and now he did not expect that the bigger surprise was that Wu Hui had already activated a secondary fire attribute. It could be said that he already had the basic requirements to become a Pill Master, as long as he learned some pill refining techniques and continued to practice, he would definitely be able to become a true Pill Master.
Su Qingxue also looked at Wu Hui with surprise. In her heart, Wu Hui was originally an insignificant person. If not for her grandfather's promise back then, she might not have interacted with this person at all. Today, she came here to completely break off the engagement, as the Su Family had been on friendly terms with Qing Yun Zong, and was no longer on the same level as the Wu Family. However, he didn't expect that the good-for-nothing Wu Hui, who hadn't broken through for the last seven years, would have such luck and actually managed to activate the secondary fire attribute.
Before the Innate Grade, the breakthrough of every level had a extremely small chance of activating the secondary attribute, and the probability of activating the secondary fire attribute was even smaller. However, to Su Qingxue, a Pill Master who would at most become a third grade Pill Master was not someone she, the future Martial Emperor, should care about it. Although she had a very long way to go to become a Martial Emperor, it was as difficult as reaching the third grade Pill Master for Wu Hui.
Wu Qingfeng did not reply Wu Zejun. Instead, he turned towards the family’s Pill Master Hai Qinglan at the side and said with a face full of smiles, "I believe Elder Hai has the most right to say whether or not he has activated the secondary fire attribute."
After hearing what Wu Qingfeng said, Hai Qinglan stood up. When Wu Hui had just broken through the Profound Grade, a faintly discernible wave of fiery heat had been emitted from his body. For Hai Qinglan who was of the secondary fire attribute, she had naturally sensed it. Not only her, in the audience, those with cultivation above Heaven Grade could more or less feel it. But the chances of activating the secondary fire attribute was extremely small, so others did not think of it that way. One secondary fire attribute represented a Pill Master, which was very important for the development of the clan.
"Wu Hui has indeed activated the secondary fire attribute. Congratulations to the Wu Family for the birth of a real Pill Master." Hai Qinglan looked around, and then spoke indifferently.
After Hai Qinglan confirmed, the suspicion was eliminated and everyone turned to look at Wu Hui with mixed emotions.
In fact, Wu Hui had expected himself to break through the Profound Grade and activate the the fire attribute spiritual roots. He had a body of five elements and he was cultivating the Five Elements Arts. His original wood attribute Martial qi had already reached perfection, so when he was trying to awaken the Five Elements Pearl, the bottleneck had already loosened. So it was only natural for him to break through the Profound Grade now.
However, in the eyes of others, Wu Hui had not had a breakthrough for seven years, and with one breakthrough he activated the secondary fire attribute. It could be said that he was extremely lucky.
"Haha…Hui Er, not bad, you really did not disappoint your father." Wu Haiya laughed, and the previous gloomy aura was swept away. Who would dare say that his son was trash now? His son was a Pill Master.
Hearing Wu Haiya's laughter, Wu Haiyuan's face became ugly, but he had nothing to say. He never thought that Wu Hui would actually activate the secondary fire attribute, which was practically turning the tables. He also knew how important the Pill Masters were to the family. Pills were the most important resources for cultivation in the Wu Family. For ordinary disciples of the family, they would only be able to obtain one cultivation pill in three months to half a year. This was because the clan only had a single Pill Master Hai Qinglan. If they could have two Pill Masters and receive one pill every one or two months, the disciples of the Wu Family would cultivate even faster.
Wu Haiyuan forced out a smile, cupped his fist at Wu Haiya and said, "Congratulations, Brother Haiya."
Regarding the speed at which Wu Haiyuan changed his expression, Wu Haiya did not care. At the moment, all he had in his eyes was his own son, Wu Hui.
The expression on Su Haoran's face changed as well, and eventually returned to his original expression. He cupped his fist at Wu Haiya and said with a smile, "I did not expect that what I said about being a genius among men was true. Your son is indeed extraordinary. Congratulations to the Wu Family for having another Pill Master." At this time, Su Haoran's heart was filled with some regret. There was no Pill Master in the Su Family, and he had only recruited a first grade Pill Master. If his own daughter were to marry Wu Hui, his family would definitely benefit greatly as well. But he could only think in his heart, since there was no possibility of reconciliation after what had just happened between the two families.
Furthermore, Wu Qingfeng, the Innate Expert of the Wu Family, had also made it clear that there was no longer any connection between the two families.
In the hall, when Su Qingxue saw the expression of regret on her father's face, she felt discontent in her heart. Wu Hui was even more unsightly to her eyes.
"It's just a secondary fire attribute, and what's so great about being able to become a Pill Master? In Qing Yun Sect, there are plenty of Pill Masters. And there even were four grade Pill Masters." Su Qingxue's tone was arrogant, and she looked at Wu Hui with dissatisfaction.
