After Ge Dongxu finished speaking, Fan Hong's entire face had turned pale, and cold sweat continuously seeped out from his forehead.
Since his great-grandfather's generation, no one in the Fan family had broken through the Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Even his great-grandfather and grandfather had failed at this stage of breakthrough, suffering heart damage. Although they had not faced life-threatening dangers as Ge Dongxu had mentioned, their lifespans were significantly shortened due to their heart injuries.
Of course, compared to ordinary people, it was still considered acceptable.
Fan Hong's father, who had less talent in cultivation than Fan Hong, had only reached the Second Level of Qi Cultivation and thus had not encountered this issue.
