《Cultivation Chat Group: Tales of Song Yifeng》 1 Song Yifeng Beep* Beep* The sound of a siren resounds A crowd appears to be surrounding a young man lying on the ground covered in a pool of his own crimson red blood "No! No! You can''t leave! Yifeng!" a young woman screams as she holds the young man known as Yifeng in her arms whilst being dyed by his blood "Ling er, you.... must be happy... without me..." Yifeng muttered "No! How can I be happy without you?!" the young woman cried desperately "The ambulance is here! You''ll be fine!" "Stay with me Yifeng!" ... Within an eternal darkness, Song Yifeng wakes up to an extremely bright light "Huh did I go to hell? Why is everything so dark?" Song Yifeng muttered From out of nowhere a voice speaks to him "Greetings mortal." "Hmm? Where is that voice coming from?" Yifeng thought Cough Cough* "Oh, there you are sorry about that old man." Yifeng apologized "Old man..." the voice who spoke to him earlier is revealed to be from an old man "Oh sorry." Yifeng apologized again "No, no you''re right I certainly am old. Now about where we are. We certainly aren''t in hell but rather my own space I created eons ago." the old man said "Eons ago? You are hella old dude.." Yifeng couldn''t help but say "Anyway the reason you died was a mistake, you see the child you were about to save would''ve been fine even if you didn''t save him. The driver would''ve swerved to the side just before hitting the child." the old man said ".. So you''re telling me I died for nothing?" Yifeng asked "Well yes, so now I will give you a choice for your deed even though it wasn''t necessary. I will let you reincarnate into a world of your choice, any person and even the time period. I will also grant you up to three wishes of your choice." the old man said "So, you must be what they call God then?" Yifeng asked "That''s right, now have a good think before choosing." God replied "Hmm... Alright, I''ve decided reincarnate me into Cultivation Chat Group as Song Shuhang''s elder brother by one year. As for the time period... I guess a year or two before the events of the original story where Shuhan accidentally gets invited into the group chat. For my three wishes, firstly I want to be able to absorb Spirit Rings like in D*uluo Dalu as for how that will work any beast that is slain can become my Spirit Ring or if I don''t find a beast to my liking then I want to be able to choose the beast and its age." Yifeng said "As for the second wish, I want the same library from L*brary of Heavens Path along with all the cultivation techniques and knowledge from every cultivation novel. Now for my final wish, would it be possible to bring my fiancee Ling er with me?" Yifeng asked "That is possible, however, it will depend on whether or not she agrees, so I will bring her here for you to have a chat. I will give her knowledge of your wish so you don''t need to explain it to her when she gets here." God said "Thanks!" Yifeng said God''s eyes had changed at the mention of Yifeng wanting to bring his fiancee with him as if he had experienced the long years of loneliness and solitude. Yifeng noticed this and wanted to ask however he couldn''t afterseeing the look of desolation and despair Woosh* "Yifeng!?" the young woman referred to as Ling er shouted "Ling er!" Yifeng cried The two lovers ran into each other''s arms and hugged for over 10 minutes before finally letting go of each other "So, do you agree to reincarnate along with Song Yifeng?" God asked "Of course, I have no parents and no attachments to that world aside from Yifeng. Since his death I wished that I could join him however he said that he wanted me to live as his final wish.." she replied "Ling er.." Yifeng said as he caressed her head softly "Alright, since you agree then the two of you may go together I wish you luck." God said before pointing at them then a white light flashed and brought the two away "Wait will keep our memories?" Yifeng shouted "Yea don''t worry!" God replied as they disappeared A few moments later God sighed and said "Sigh, my wife if only I could see you again. This everlasting immortality has brought to me nothing but despair. These countless eons of loneliness seeing the generations go in a blink of an eye.." ... "Hey, Song Yifeng! Song Shuhan you two better wake up or you''ll be late for school!" a middle-aged woman shouted Yawns* Hearing his mother shout at him, Song Yifeng slowly got out of bed and opened the door to see his mother knocking on his little brother''s door "Song Shuhang! Yifeng has already woken up, what about you?!" Mother Song shouted "I''m up! I''m up!" Song Shuhang cried "Mom, I''ll go change now and get ready" Yifeng said as he went back into his room to change and make his bed "Sure thing." Mother Song replied as she went to the kitchen to fix breakfast for the family ... Inside his room, Song Yifeng brushes his teeth as he looks into the mirror and thinks to himself "So it''s already been a couple of days since I''ve reincarnated huh.. I wonder when I''ll be able to see Ling er, my appearance is still the same so hers should as well.." "Since there''s still about a year left until the events of the main story I should start preparing myself for cultivation and help Shuhang get stronger too. His growth rate in the original story is quite fast seeing that he reached the 2nd Realm of Leaping over the Gate within a month, however, in terms of novel chapters it took a couple hundred chapters... By that amount of chapters in other novels they would be much higher.." Yifeng thought 2 Cultivation begins After brushing his teeth, Song Yifeng went to have breakfast then brought along his luggage so that he along with Song Shuhang can go back to live in the dorms After arriving at their dorms the two brothers went their separate ways as they head to class. As soon as classes had ended, Song Yifeng went into his room and put on weights as he starts to work out Huff* Puff* After doing 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and 100 squats, Song Yifeng started to do a 10km run daily. This daily routine lasted an entire month before he got used to it and changed the heaviness of the weights attached to his arms and legs "My body should be ready soon to start cultivating. Should I use Shuhang''s way to create a simplified version of the Body Tempering Liquid or should I cultivate normally¡­ Hang on I have the Library of Heavens Path why am I even worried about his?" He said as he facepalmed himself "Let''s see now I will compile a bunch of cultivation techniques then create the strongest there is¡­ Would I also be able to have my own bloodline? That would be kinda weird for a human to have a bloodline and also don''t I need to have a Martial Spirit in order to absorb Spirit Rings?" he thought Ding* "No need to worry about that, once you have begun your path of cultivation I will provide you with a Martial Spirit and as for bloodline powers¡­ well you don''t really need it do you?" God said in his mind "What the? You can still communicate with me? I thought that would be the last time we speak.." Yifeng said in surprise "Let''s just say our meeting was due to fate, I will provide you with some help occasionally if needed however it won''t be too drastic." God replied "Thanks!" Yifeng replied before closing his eyes and focused on the Library After a while, the compilation of books merging had been completed. "Great it''s finally done, what should I name it though? Maybe the Path of Heaven technique? Heavenly Path? Hmm I seem to be obsessed with Heaven and Path¡­" Yifeng thought "Meh I''ll think of a name later for now let''s just practice it." Song Yifeng sat down on his bed cross legged in a lotus position as he close off his mind and begun to recall the technique Woosh* The Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area of thousands of Li all quickly disappeared and rushed towards Song Yifeng''s location as his body forcibly absorbs it Within his dantian located 3 inches above the naval, the entire dantian was filled with a huge amount of Qi absorbed from the heaven and earth. After a while, Yifeng opened his eyes as his stomach begins to make sounds as he rushes to the toilet Flush* After washing his hands, Song Yifeng washed his face and saw himself in the mirror. "Damn I was already handsome enough and now all my pores are clear along with this snow white skin¡­ Won''t I be killed from being crushed by an army of woman?" he thought smugly After leaving the bathroom Song Yifeng''s path towards cultivation had begun as he started practicing a fist technique he created through the Library. Not giving it a name he practiced slowly and familiarize himself with it as his blows begun to shake the earth and fracture the air Bang* Yifeng in the midst of practicing accidently hits the wall and completely pulverised it as he stared in shock. "Ah F*ck! That wasn''t supposed to happen!" he thought as he quickly ran away and left the scene His roomates who came into the room later on were shocked silly as they saw a huge hole in their room ¡­ "F*ck I will never practice in a small room again!" Yifeng thought as he begun running around the field As he ran he caught the attention of both male and females alike, seeing a handsome youth running around the track field without losing any speed for over 30 minutes almost shocked them to death "Oh my god! He''s so handsome!" "Please marry me!" "What the f*ck! How is he not tired? Is he a machine?" someone couldn''t help but yell out Song Yifeng then stopped running as he looked at the crowd puzzled. "What''s going on here, why are people looking at me like that?" he thought Song Shuhang who noticed his brother running like a madman came out and said "Bro, you ran non stop for 30 minutes what else did you think would happen. Anyway since when did you have such great stamina? Hang on did your skin get whiter? The f*ck happened?" he asked "Well you see I''ll tell you about it later for now let''s leave I''m starting to feel uncomfortable here." Song Yifeng replied "Sure, your treat though." Shuhang said "Yea, yea let''s go." ¡­ During the two brothers meal at a restaurant, a shocked Song Shuhang stands up and slams the table before yelling "What?!" "Oi, look around dude." Song Yifeng said Song Shuhang then looked around to see everyone staring at him before apologising as he sat back down in his seat "Hang on, so you''re telling me now that cultivators exist and that they aren''t just works of fictions?" Song Shuhang asked suspiciously "Yea man, do you think I would lie to my own brother? I mean look, I''m a living example though I have just started cultivating just today.." Yifeng replied "If that''s true then that must be why your skin suddenly became whiter and you even grew a few centimetres taller.." Song Shuhang said "That''s right, wouldn''t it be amazing to be a cultivator? Didn''t you always want to be one? I can teach you as well, but we should keep this a secret from father and mother they might think their sons are nutcases." Song Yifeng said "You''re willing to teach me? Great when do we begin?" Song Shuhang asked excitedly "Well.. first of all how much money do you have?" Song Yifeng asked "Why do you ask? Not much about 500 yuan right now." Shuhang replied "... Alright I''ll put in my money as well. We will need to buy some herbs and then we can use your induction cooker to create something called the Body Tempering Liquid." Yifeng said "Body Tempering Liquid? Not Body Tempering Pill? Are they any different?" "Well no not really, they essentially do the same thing however as of right now I can''t create any pills so we will have to make do with it. Also the stages of cultivation are the 1st stage Beyond Mortal, the 2nd Stage True Master, the 3rd Stage Battle King, the 4th Stage Inborn, the 5th Spirit Sovereign, the 6th True Monarch, the 7th Spirit Venerable, 8th Saint, 9th Tribulation Immortal and finally Eternal Being." Song Yifeng explained "That''s a lot of stages.." Song Shuhang replied "Yea well let me continue, in the 1st Stage Beyond Mortal, there are 5 Acupoints that are needed to be opened namely the Heart Acupoint, Eye Acupoint, Nose, Ears and Mouth Acupoint and to reach the 2nd Stage True Master, one must surpass theLeaping Dragon Gate stage." Song Yifeng continued "What about the rest?" Shuhang asked "Well for now you should focus on opening your first Acupoint, I myself haven''t opened it yet so we must get enough Body Tempering Liquid for you to begin." Yifeng replied He then finished off his meal and the two brothers left to buy some herbs before going to Song Shuhang''s dorm room to begin making some Body Tempering Liquid 3 100 Days of Foundation Establishmen Poof* Poof* Bang* "..." "..." "Bro are you sure you''re doing it right?" Song Shuhang asked "Of course, I''ve got this under control watch." Song Yifeng replied as he carefully watched the induction cooker and soup pot After a few moments of silence, "Now! Shuhang throw it all in!" Yifeng shouted "Got it!" Shuhang replied as he threw in all the medicinal ingredients for the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid Poof* Poof* A repulsive smell breaks out from the pot and spreads throughout the room "F*ck this smell.." Shuhang says covering his nose "God damn this smells worse than cow sh*t!" Yifeng said as his eyes started watering. He then quickly opened all the windows in the room as he fanned it all outside "Yifeng, did you succeed?" Shuhang asked "Hmm let me see." Yifeng said as he pinched his nose and looked carefully at the black ooze in front of him [Simplified Body Tempering Liquid] [A weaker version of the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid created by Song Shuhang] [Purity: 100%] "Success!" Yifeng laughed "Great! But it smells like a dogs *ss how will we down this?" Shuhang asked "..." "..." The two brothers faced each other as they gulped down hard "You first?" Yifeng suggested "No you!" Shuhang replied "..." "Alright.. If I die tell our parents I love them." Yifeng said before pouring the black liquid into a cup and downed it Yifeng''s body then felt slightly hot as if fire was burning inside his body. He quickly ran outside the room as he shouted "Shuhang drink it and join me!" "What the f*ck? Why is he going outside? Hang on if I remember correctly after consuming Body Tempering Pills you would need to practice a technique or do exercise in order for the body to completely absorb the pills effects¡­" Shuhang said before downing a cup of the liquid then joined his brother outside ¡­ "Hey it''s him again! He''s running laps again!" "Kyaa~~" "Hmm isn''t that Song Yifeng? His brother Song Shuhang seems to be running along with him." ¡­ "Shuhang we gotta keep running until we completely absorb the Simplified Body Tempering Liquid or else our body will explode from all the energy!" Yifeng said as he sprinted "..." "Explode? F*ck! This better be worth it!" Shuhang yelled as he ran alongside Yifeng with all his might After an hour or two of running, the brothers finally stopped as their bodies fully absorbed the liquids medical properties Huff* Huff* "Shuhang don''t you feel lighter? As if a slight wind would be able to send us into the sky." Yifeng asked Song Shuhang who had just caught his breath started waving his arms around like an idiot before replying "You''re right, this is great! I thought you were crazy, we really can be immortals!" "Thats right however.. We need to complete the hundred days of foundation building. The worst part is that we have both passed the optimal age to start so our journey will be tough." Song Yifeng said "A hundred days of foundation building?" Shuhang replied "Yea, before we can open the Heart Acupoint we need to complete the hundred days of foundation building. Right I have the perfect technique for you to practice, it''s called the Dragon - Elephant Fist. By practicing this the body will be able to build up their blood essence and gain some traces of Dragon and Elephant blood essence." Yifeng explained "Hmm? That sounds great, how many parts are there?" Shuhang replied "Uh, well there''s about 10. Let me demonstrate to you in another place.. Don''t want people thinking we''re crazy nerds.." Yifeng continued before walking to another place ¡­ Arriving at an abandoned building with plenty of space, Yifeng demonstrated the 10 moves to Shuhang. First he demonstrated it fast three time before doing it again slowly, surprisingly Shuhang only needed to see it slowly the second time before he could copy his stances to a degree "Remember Shuhang as you use practice each stance recite the formula I taught you and do as many moves as you could." Yifeng said as he practiced his own technique Boom* Boom* The two brothers practice shook the earth as if an earthquake was about to hit the area. The force of their punches could easily puncture steel and shatter boulders, the building around them suffered greatly from their bout as it seemed to be close to collapsing "S*it Shuhang we gotta get outta here!" Yifeng shouted Shuhang nodded as the two brothers ran outside quickly and turned back to watch the collapsing building Boom* Crash* Crash* "..." "..." "Well damn.." Shuhang said "Err let''s pretend it had nothing to do with us." Yifeng replied as he looked around for any people After searching around he took a deep breath before finding a hill full of nature to sit on and taught Shuhang a cultivation technique to restore and build up qi "Listen Shuhang, this technique is called the God Monarch''s Scripture. By practicing this not only does your qi get stronger it restores qi over 10 times faster than other techniques and allows you to store 100 times more qi than cultivators at the same stage. Additionally it also slightly strengthens the body with every 10 hours of practice!" Yifeng explained "Wtf? Isn''t that cheating? Stop no that''s cheating! Wouldn''t other cultivators want to kill themselves if they knew about this?" Shuhang asked "Well yea, that''s why I''m giving it to you?" Yifeng replied "Anyway sit still I''ll teach it to you now, bring your forehead close to mine." Yifeng continued "??? That''s kinda.." Shuhang said puzzled "Bruh, really? This is the fastest way to transfer information over and no one else will be able to peek." "Fine.." Shuhang said as he brought his head close and touched his brothers Woosh* The sudden transfer of knowledge gave Shuhang a slight headache before returning to normal, he then sat crossed legged and practiced the God Monarch''s scripture Song Yifeng nodded his head as he begun practicing his own technique ¡­ The next day the two brothers went to class like normal then went to their part time jobs to earn money to complete their 100 days of foundation establishing Using their money, the brothers saved up slowly as they bought more and more ingredients for Body Tempering Liquid and consumed it as they practiced. Now their bodies are harder than steel and their blood essence is extremely powerful and even emit a domineering aura In the blink of an eye, the two brothers successfully completed their foundation establishment. Yifeng didn''t teach Shuhang any new techniques, the two practiced together and aimed for opening the Heart Acupoint 4 Martial Spirit Awakening Three days after completing his foundation establishment, Song Yifeng accumulated enough blood essence in his body and directly opened the Heart and Eye Acupoints and gained an ability from each. Opening the Heart Acupoint he gained the ability to stop his heart from beating for as long as he likes without dying as well as channel his blood flow to any part of his body, as for his Eye Acupoint, he gainedvisual prowess that enabled him to see through all illusions and see from a far distance of up to 100 kilometers As for Song Shuhang, he managed to open his Heart Acupoint but didn''t gain any ability which disappointed him "It''s alright, you may be lucky and gain two abilities when you open your Eye Acupoint. Besides with your current strength, you''re already comparable to a 2nd stage True Master who is close to reaching the 3rd stage Battle King." Song Yifeng explained "Hmm? What are all the stages in the True Master realm?" Song Shuhang asked "First is the Life Dantian, Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Foot, Palm, Neck, Head and Dragon Horn. All together there are 8 stages in the True Master realm." Yifeng said "Oh nice, how strong are you then?" Shuhang asked "Hmm about comparable to a 3rd Stage Battle King who is halfway through to the 4th Stage Inborn." Yifeng said "Damn that''s real strong huh, I wonder how long it will take for me to reach that stage." Shuhang said "... Dude we just completed our foundation establishment. If others heard our conversation they would want to kill themselves with a tofu!" Song Yifeng shouted quitely "Well you''re right about that. Well see ya later I''ll go practice on my own." Shuhang replied before going off on his own "Alright later." Yifeng replied as he went into his dorm room and sat down cross legged on his bed ¡­ Closing his eyes, Song Yifeng begun absorbing spiritual qi in the surrounding area as he prepared himself to absorb his first Spirit Ring. Once he had gathered enough, he opened his eyes and thought to himself "Hmm, for my first Spirit Ring what should I absorb? Hang on the old man still hasn''t told me what my Martial Spirit is." Ding* "Hey Yifeng, about your Martial Spirit well you see I''ve given you two. One being a Golden Dragon whilst the other a Silver Dragon." God said "Huh? Isn''t this just plain copywrite? I''ll sue you in place of T*ng Jia San Shao!" Yifeng muttered "... Well, this is a novel so it doesn''t matter, does it? Besides he will never know about it." God assured "Well, you''re right as long as the readers don''t mind." Yifeng replied before sensing his dual Martial Spirits "Until next time." God said Song Yifeng then carefully thought to himself inside his mind "Seriously what should I pick? I''ll let the Golden Dragon be an assault type whilst the Silver Dragon be a control type. As for Spirit Rings¡­ I should be able to change their age once my body is strong enough so for now that doesn''t matter." "Oh I seem to have innate full spirit power meaning I''m at rank 10 from birth." "Now let''s see for the Golden Dragon, a 100 year Steel Blue Wolf which will grant the ability to strengthen my claws greatly. Wait a minute¡­ Claws? Man if T*ng Wulin knew about this he might come down from the G*d Realm!" "For the Silver Dragon¡­ a 100 year Blizzard Grass which enables me to create strands of durable grass that can bind as well as freeze the target." "Guess that''s good now time to absorb them both." Song Yifeng thought as he focused his mind on the Spirit Rings in front of him ¡­ Woosh* Woosh* Opening his eyes, Song Yifeng jumped off the bed creating a large thud on the ground beneath him. As his eyes open, a shockwave blasted in the middle of his room before the sound of something boiling could be heard He then channeled his blood essence to resonate with his dual Martial Spirits and revealed two bright yellow rings rotating behind him as he looked at a nearby mirror "F*ck! How domineering! I look so god damn awesome! I wonder how great I will look when I reach the Titled Doulou stage and have 9 Red Spirit Rings! Oh I just thought of the perfect daoist name. Daoist 9 Rings, though for now I only have two and if I only use one Martial Spirit then well of course there''s only one ring.." "Anyway let''s continue practicing, there''s only a couple months left before the events of the original series begins. I hope I meet Ling er soon I really miss her¡­" Song Yifeng thought as he went back onto his bed and closed his eyes ¡­ A few months later¡­ Song Yifeng and Song Shuhang met each other and found an open space to have a duel. Naturally Yifeng won with his cultivation at middle of the 3rd Stage Battle King, though he never did reveal his Spirit Rings to Shuhang Song Shuhang isn''t too far behind with his cultivation at the beginning of the 3rd stage Battle King As the brothers clash, their bought brought about the destruction of countless hills and buildings, luckily the area had been deserted for years and no one ever dared to come near "Alright let''s stop here Shuhang. We''ve made a lot of progress these past few months." Song Yifeng said "Sure." Song Shuhang replied as he wiped his sweat off his body Taking out his phone, Song Shuhang realised that he had been added into a Wechat group called the ''Nine Provinces Group''. Yifeng told him to accept the invitation by True Monarch Yellow only for Shuhang to find out that he had been mistakenly added due to a mistake of one digit 5 Nine Provinces Number One Group Noticing a new member has been added to the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the lurking members emerged. Northern River''s Loose Cultivator: "Did True Monarch Yellow Mountain invite a new fellow friend? Hasn''t it been a year since a new member joined us?" Another member with the ID of ''Su Clan''s Seven'' quickly replied, "There''s a new fellow daoist? Is he from Mt Hua? Where''s the immortal cave he''s cultivating in? What''s his dao name? Which stage of cultivation is he at?" Simultaneously, a user with the ID ''Thrice Reckless Mad Saber wrote'', "What''s the gender of our new fellow daoist? Are you a fairy? If so, please announce your three sizes and upload a photo!" Looking at Su Clan''s Seven and Thrice Reckless Mad Saber''s messages, many of the lurking members within the group felt their mouths twitch. "Brother Thrice Reckless, do you belong to a goldfish species or something?" Northern River''s Loose Cultivator sighed. "What if True Monarch Yellow Mountain had invited another senior? You may bring disaster upon yourself once again!" Thrice Reckless¡­ this fella was good in every aspect, being a loyal person and eager to help others, thus his relations with others were pretty good¡ªit was just that his uncouth tongue would pack him into life and death situations. Unfortunately, this fella was so unlucky that it made one have goosebumps. The timing didn''t matter¡ªwhenever he was reckless, he had always offended powerful seniors. These seniors who were all lacking in entertainment would naturally be happy to kill some time by torturing Thrice Reckless Mad Saber who sent himself right to their doorstep. "I beg you, do not to mention the word ''powerful senior''¡­ it is a traumatic experience that still haunts me," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber sent a row of 6 Soft Feather Song Shuhang laughed while closing the chat window, he felt that the members of Nine Provinces Group were all interesting, with the chat logs that would make one feel embarrassed if exposed. From the perspective of a spectator, it was surprisingly interesting "Yifeng, since they dare give themselves daoist names, they should be real cultivators right?" Song Shuhang asked "Hmm there''s only one way to find out. For now keep lurking in the chat and look for an opportunity to ask True Monarch Yellow Mountain to invite me to the group." Song Yifeng replied "Okay." Shuhang nodded ¡­ Song Yifeng then went off on his own to cultivate his spiritual qi in order to breakthrough and reach the Yang Flame Meridian from the Moon Yin Meridian and also focused on trying to increase his spirit rank to 11 Within a short span of three days, Song Yifeng managed to get his spirit rank to 15. "At this rate, I may be able to reach rank 19 before the end of next week, I''m not sure if I will encounter a bottleneck when trying to reach rank 20 and officially reach the end of the Spirit Master rank." he thought "Well it''s been three days I should see how Shuhang is doing, Soft Feather should be here soon? Or did she come already I can''t remember¡­" he thought as he stood up from his bed and walked outside his universities dorm room ¡­ Once he arrived at Song Shuhang''s dorm, Yifeng noticed that Shuhang showed a slightly worried expression "What''s wrong Shuhang?" Yifeng asked "Well the Su Clan''s Number 16 seems to have failed her tribulation and is now in grave danger and it seems like only a Dragon Bone Withered Vine can help her recover from her injuries." Shuhang replied "Hmm I''m guessing this tribulation was her trying to promote from the 3rd Stage Battle King to the 4th Stage Innate? As for the Dragon Bone Withered Vine¡­ let''s leave it to fate." Song Yifeng said "..." "So anything else happen in the group these past three days?" Yifeng asked "Yea, a young girl from a sect called Spirit Butterfly Island. Apparently she was the one who was supposed to be added but True Monarch Yellow made a mistake and added me due to a single digit. Anyway she''s looking for a place called Ghost Lamp Temple in the Luo Xin Street Area of City J however, it doesn''t appear to exist on any navigation apps.." Song Shuhang replied "Hmm? Maybe it got erased because it involved cultivators?" Yifeng said "That may be it, however it seems like no one else is near our location so it might be up to us to guide her there." Shuhang continued "Hmm then we should go to the airport now and prepare to head to City J." Yifeng said as he waited for Shuhang outside and called a cab ¡­ "Thanks driver!" Song Yifeng said as he left to go inside the airport with Song Shuhang. As they entered the airport, Song Shuhang realised a critical point "Hang on, we don''t know what this Soft Feather looks like how will we recognise each other?" "Hmm good point, since she''s a cultivator then I guess she will be good looking or something?" Yifeng pondered "Hmm though I read the original series, just by looking at Soft Feather''s novel art it''s hard to tell who she is in such a large crowd." Yifeng thought to himself "Well let''s keep going, you should send her a private message and tell her our precise location or vice versa." Yifeng told Shuhang "On it." Shuhang replied After a few minutes, Shuhang''s fingers stopped tapping the screen of his phone as the two managed to find Soft Feather in the large crowd "Looks like you were right about her standing out huh." Shuhang said to Yifeng Soft Feather is a beautiful and slenderyoung girl whilst also having long legs making her quite tall "Senior Song?." Soft Feather asked "Hello Soft Feather," Song Shuhang replied "Who''s this beside you?" she asked "Oh this is my elder brother, so if you keep calling us senior then both of us will be senior Song hehe. Shuhang said "Hey there, actually I''m 19 so in fact you seem to be older than us so it wouldn''t be right calling us senior.." Song Yifeng said "Oh sorry.. but I think I''ll stick with calling you both senior Song. As for how to differentiate you two then¡­ how about Song 1 and Song 2?" Soft Feather asked "Er¡­ whatever you say." the two brothers replied at once "Well let''s head to City J now and find that Ghost Lamp Temple." Song Yifeng added before turning around and walking off by himself The two behind him nodded as they followed behind him 7 Ghost Lamp Temple After leaving the airport, the three of them took a cab whilst checking for any news on Ghost Lamp Temple. Sitting in the backseat, Yifeng thought to himself "Hmm, how should I go about telling them about the Ghost Lamp Temple? In the original series, Shuhang''s roommate had a grandpa who lived in the area and knew about it to an extent.. Well let''s just follow that route for now until we actually arrive at the temple and extract the ghost spirits." "Wait, but there''s only two ghost spirits¡­ Shuhang''s talent is weaker than mine so I guess he will keep it. I''ll have to travel around and look for a place filled with miasma and look for my own ghost spirit, hopefully I can find a High Grade Ghost Spirit for myself." "Yifeng." Shuhang said "..." "Yifeng!" "Huh oh sorry." Yifeng replied "I called you a couple times man, anyways apparently one of my roommates grandpa has information about the temple." Shuhang said "Alright, let''s wait for him to pick us up and then we''ll go." Yifeng replied Soft Feather stood behind the two brothers and didn''t say a word as she looked at her phone screen and hoped for more information "Man I can''t believe Venerable Spirit Butterfly set up this entire trip for Soft Feather years ago.. He even purposely left her a Middle Grade Ghost Spirit. I bet he didn''t think that someone else would plant another one here." Yifeng thought as the trio waited After a while, Song Shuhang''s room mate Lin Tubo arrived on a motorbike along with his friends and lent the trio a bike then drove to his grandpa''s place ¡­ Arriving at the place, Lin Tubo''s grandpa explained the history behind the Ghost Lamp Temple which lead back to 60 years ago. After his explanation the trio left stayed until midnight then went directly to Ghost Lamp Temple whilst Soft Feather was filled with excitement about going on an adventure As they reached the burial place of Huang Dagen who had previously owned the tomb and his family. Having a huge chair-shaped tomb was a popular design fifty to sixty years back. As if Huang Dagen had known that he and his family were about to die, the constructed tomb was extremely huge, a perfect fit for fourteen people from four generations of his family to be buried. As it was in the middle of the night, the tomb''s surroundings were somewhat eerie. The trio stood right in front of the entrance as Soft Feather opened her suitcase and took out a rod along with some talismans "Talismans huh, I should learn the art from someone in the Nine Provinces Number One Group." Yifeng thought Soft Feather with her rod in hand stood in front and lead the way as the trio looked around at the eerie abandoned temple Song Shuhang then found a few clean stones and sat down while looking at Soft Feather bustling about beside the tomb. Then the two brothers watched as she danced whilst two green lights danced about along with her actions Song Yifeng told Shuhang to activate the ability he gained from opening his Eye Acupoint then opened up his own Divine Sight as the two saw the green lights change into Ghost like figures "So that''s what a Ghost Spirit looks like huh." Yifeng said out loud "So what do they do Yifeng?" Shuhang asked "Well Ghost spirits are quite rare. After signing a spiritual contract with its owner, an adult spirit could connect with its owner''s mind, and share energy with its owner even if it was just a low-rank one. In other words, one could get one more energy reserve than others by owning a low-rank ghost spirit! However, a low-rank ghost spirit could only advance to Third Stage Battle King Realm. After reaching middle-rank, a ghost spirit would have a good attack power, and its cultivation speed was not any slower than that of ordinary cultivators. With some luck, it could even reach Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm. It was simply a good helper to cultivators." "Moreover, middle-rank ghost spirits usually had one or two innate skills, and these innate skills had a great variety. As for high-rank ghost spirits, they''d already acquired wisdom not inferior to man''s, and their cultivation speed was even faster than that of ordinary cultivators. They could even learn some magic spells from Ghost Dao. If they could cultivate these magic spells to the extreme, they could even turn into ghost immortals if they could overcome tribulation. However, a high-rank ghost spirit are considered to exist only in the legends. Apparently the number of High rank Ghost Spirits could be counted on a single hand "In addition, a ghost spirit of middle-rank or above could temper its owner''s energy. Be it blood and qi, true qi, or spiritual qi, a ghost spirit could temper them and make them purer and of higher quality as its energy had been connected with its owner''s. Once a spiritual contract was established, a ghost spirit would never betray the owner. They would do anything their owners told them to do without a single word of complaint." "Hmm you sure know a lot about them." Shuhang said "Uh yea I don''t know why I do." Yifeng said before sarcastically coughing a few times as they watched Soft Feather "So what do we do now?" Shuhang asked "Uh watch I guess? Wait there''s a medicinal herb over there let me go pick it up." Yifeng said as he walked towards a stalk of Poisonous Dragon Plant Woosh* As he picked it up, a loud bang sound was heard. However, as he looked up he saw an invisible protective wall appear as the two ghost spirits who moved their attention towards Song Shuhang and Song Yifeng''s location slammed into it Afterward, Soft Feather took out some beads called the Spirit Binding Ice Bead and used it to seal the Ghost Spirits inside them "Senior, I''m really thankful for your help this time. If not for you, I''m afraid these two ghost spirits would have escaped. If they were to escape, they would never return here again and it would be a headache to look for them next time." Soft Feather was incomparably grateful. "Oh sure and about the Ghost Spirits since there''s two of them you should give one to Shuhang and keep the other one for yourself." Yifeng said "Huh for me? But you were the one who activated the formation." Shuhang said surprised "Yea but well, you need it more than I do. Though both of us can already purify our qi greatly, the technique I gave you would benefit you more since almost all of my qi is purified to the peak already." Yifeng replied Soft Feather nodded as she handed over one of the ghost spirits to Shuhang then the trio left the Ghost Lamp Temple ¡­ "Hmm, the 2nd Stage True Master guy should be watching us from somewhere. Though I doubt he has the balls to make a move with three cultivators over the 3rd stage Battle King here." Song Yifeng thought as they left and returned 8 Learning Multiple Arts The trio had left Ghost Lamp Temple after acquiring two Ghost Spirits. The brothers went with Soft Feather to the airport at City J then said goodbye as she went back to Spirit Butterfly Island. She also mentioned that she would send the brothers two sets of medicinal ingredients in which they could use for making some pills Song Yifeng left first as he went to his dorm room then went to look for a large pot at a store. "What am I going to do with a large pot you ask? Well, I''m kinda bored so I''ll learn the arts of Alchemy and Talisman crafting. I was originally planning on getting someone to teach me but well the Library already has the necessary knowledge recorded." Yifeng thought "While I''m at it should I learn some other things too? Maybe some instruments? Tailoring? I do want to have my own Xianxia or Xuanhuan clothing. Once I reach the 4th Stage Innate I will have enough qi for me to ride on a flying sword... Oh, right I should learn about Blacksmithing and Formations too shouldn''t I." After buying a large pot, Song Yifeng went back to his dorm room and put in down along with some medicinal ingredients he had prepared to make some pills Focusing his mind, the library automatically transferred him the knowledge of peak level alchemists in multiple cultivation novels. Opening his eyes, Song Yifeng focused his qi onto his right hand as he created an Alchemy Flame on his right hand "Dang, I actually did it pretty easily huh? What shape should I have my flame? A lotus maybe? Wait wouldn''t that make me liable for copyright? Well, whatever I''ll think of something later." he thought as he controlled the flame to go under the pot then threw in all the medicinal ingredients before putting all his focus on controlling the flame Woosh* Woosh* After a few seconds, the ingredients all merged as the pot violently shook on the stove top. Song Yifeng focused his attention on the inside of the pot and saw ten circular shaped pills whilst the sound of thunder crackling resounds above him "Uh is making pills supposed to be this fast?" he thought. If others were to know that a young man who created pills on his first try could make high grade pills in under 10 seconds. They would probably knock themselves out with tofu before questioning their entire existence "Hmm, a pill tribulation? The quality and purity must be pretty good then." Song Yifeng then focused his incredibly profound and strong spiritual sense than used it to attack the thunder formed from as a result of a pill tribulation Woosh* Woosh* Taking advantage of the thunder, Song Yifeng used the thunder to temper his spiritual sense than used the remaining to increase the purity of the pills even further Snap* The thunder from the tribulation dissipated within less than a minute of appearing. Yifeng then controlled the pills using his spiritual sense to fly onto his palm as he stared at it. The pills were about the size of marbles whilst being white in color. They also had a slight golden luster that shined brightly. Using the library, Yifeng looked at the details of the pills [Qi Gathering Pill] [Purity: 100%] [A pill made up of various ingredients, increases the maximum amount of qi absorbed from the various herbs] "100% Purity? Damn that''s good. Maybe I should try making pills on a frying pan? It should be faster if I did it like frying beans." Yifeng thought before making more pills ... "Hmm seems like I make about 10 pills per batch.. 100 pills should be enough for a while. Now time to learn about talismans and formations I guess.." After flipping through the library and gaining knowledge about many types of talismans and formations, Song Yifeng tried to inscribe some talismans then injected some spiritual qi into it beforegoing outside and threw it at a nearby boulder behind the University The yellow talisman landed and stuck to the boulder before exploding Boom* The boulders previous size of 5 meters by 3 meters became completely vaporized as if it had never existed in the first place "Hmm that''s strange it seems I made a slight mistake during one of the strokes and added a vaporizing effect." Yifeng thought He then quickly got out of sight as if he was never there, once he returned to his dorm room, Yifeng wrote onto some more talismans then threw them into four corners of his room and set up a barrier formation "This barrier should prevent anyone under the True Monarch Realm from peeking or entering, I''ll have to set it so that Shuhang can enter..." "Well whatever, time to buy some metal for blacksmithing. Wait I don''t have a furnace or anything to be able to make a flying sword of my own.. Guess I''ll look up a place that custom makes stuff and ask if I can work on something myself." ... After successfully making himself a flying sword with cool looking inscriptions on it, Song Yifeng felt satisfied by his effort then concentrated solely on his cultivation and tried to break through to the 4th stage Innate realm After a fortnite or so.. Woosh* Opening his eyes, Song Yifeng jumped into the air and threw punches that cracked the air and shook the earth as he landed slowly Bang* Bang* Crack* "Awesome, I finally broke through to the Innate realm! My Spirit Rank also broke through and is now at rank 25! I can add a new Spirit Ring to each of my Martial Souls." "Library! Look for some suitable spiritual beasts for me to add!" Yifeng muttered as he focused his mind on the library 9 Journey on his own Using the library, Song Yifeng found a suitable Soul Beast for his two Martial Spirits [Black Lighting Qilin] [100 Thousand Years] [Astral Bunny] [100 Thousand Years] "Hmm, with my current physique I should be able to handle 100 Thousand Year old Soul Beasts. Time to give it a go." he thought Sitting cross legged on the ground, Song Yifeng slowly started absorbing the Black Lightning Qilin''s Spirit Ring. As he absorbed it, the domineering power from the Spirit Ring caused his entire body to shake from pain as it became entirely red whilst beads of sweat fell like a downpour of rain Shh* Shh* After an hour or so, Song Yifeng still couldn''t absorb the powers of the Spirit Ring and coughed a mouthful of blood Ppk! Putting his all into absorbing the Spirit Ring, Song Yifeng endured the hellish pain he felt throughout his body as his bodies constitution slowly started getting used to it and improved at a slow pace ¡­ Another two hours later, Song Yifeng''s body stopped quivering as he had successfully absorbed the Spirit Ring after three hours Opening his eyes, a big red and black ring floated around his body without moving from its position "Damn, I really underestimated the power of a 100 Thousand Year Soul Beast. No wonder T*ng San and the other 6 had so much trouble absorbing them. Anyways time to see what my new Spirit Ability is." he thought Focusing his mind on the newly absorbed Soul Ring, new knowledge suddenly appeared inside his mind as if it had always been there [Black Lightning Qilin] [100 Thousand Year] [Creates black lightning around any part of the body. Can be shot/thrown or can form any shape as long as it is connected to the body] "Oh? Looks like I gained more offensive power, I can even make a weapon out of black lightning it seems. For my next Spirit Ring I should probably get a defensive ability." After wiping off the sweat from his body, Song Yifeng waited until he reached peak conditions before preparing to absorb the other Spirit Ring "Well I should be fine now, hopefully it won''t take as long to absorb this next one." ¡­ As he absorbed the Spirit Ring, Yifeng noticed that his tolerance towards the pain had increased by a little bit as he endured the painful process once again After two or so hours, Yifeng completely absorbed the second 100 Thousand Year Spirit Ring [Astral Bunny] [100 Thousand Year] [Gains the ability to travel through the void] "???" "The void seems to be related to space¡­ Guess I''ll give it a go." he thought Releasing his Silver Dragon Martial Spirit, Song Yifeng used his second Spirit Ability as a crack appeared suddenly in front of him as it quickly shattered. A portal like space appeared in front of Yifeng as he took a step into it ¡­ Looking around, Song Yifeng saw a vast space filled with a bunch of bright purple lights. He also noticed that he could see the original plane where he had been previously and could sense the presence of others whilst inside the void "Looks like I can use this to escape or travel quickly to places. It''s also useful for combat though it doesn''t seem to have any use for control purposes??? Well I''ll think of a way to use it after all the library already filtered it out to match my Martial Spirit." he thought as he went back out of the void and appeared in the original plane Song Yifeng scanned the surround area before taking out his Flying Sword then jumped on top and took off ¡­ Once he arrived at his dorm room, Yifeng took a shower before realising a major problem "Hang on I don''t have a storage ring how the f*ck am I gonna bring stuff with me?" Ding* "It''s been a while hasn''t it Yifeng." "Old man!" Yifeng replied "Well I can solve your current predicament, put up one of your arms in above you and then bend one knee then turn your head sideways." God said Song Yifeng did just that before realising something was wrong. "Hang on I didn''t need to make that pose did I?" "Nope just making fun of ya." God said before a light flashed as a plain white ring appeared on the palm ofSong Yifeng''s hand "..." "See ya." God said before disappearing "This damned geezer¡­" "Well at least he gave me a storage ring, time to chuck everything I''ll need into it." he thought as he begun throwing things into the ring ¡­ After taking everything he needed with him, Song Yifeng put his wallet and phone into his pocket then sent a text to Shuhang to inform him of his outing He then left the University campus as he jumped onto his Flying Sword then took off "Time for me to go on a journey, I hope that by the time Senior White comes out of seclusion I will be close to the 5th stage Spirit Sovereign. I also need to get myself a high grade ghost spirit too.." 10 Flying Ducks During his journey, Song Yifeng used his tailoring abilities to tailor xianxia/xuanhuan style clothing for himself. Looking at his own creation, Song Yifeng felt proud of himself as his eyes were glued to it "A job well done if I were to say myself." The clothing matched well with his physique not being too baggy or tight, the outer layer made of silk is the color of orchid whilst the layer underneath was pure white and had gold linen patterns The shoes he tailored matched with the outer layer being the color of orchid whilst also having the same golden linen patterns on it as the second layer After changing into his new clothes, he also decided to make a ribbon if his hair ever became long enough to tie up Looking at himself through his spiritual sense, Song Yifeng''s eyes sparkled as he admired himself "My handsome face along with my own tailored clothing, a true match made in heaven indeed." he thought As he flew hundreds of meters above the ground and passed through the clouds, Song Yifeng didn''t notice an incoming missile that was close to making contact with him "Oh sh*t a missile!" Song Yifeng tried to avoid it however it followed him no matter how he dodged, shortly afterward a barrage of homing missiles followed behind as it chased him in the air "Sh*t gotta run! I would destroy them normally but the military are probably doing some test fires and I just happen to be up here and changed its course or something." he thought as he increased his speed The missiles hunted for him as he flew through the skies, around mountains and on the surface of the sea. As he passed by some cities some people noticed a barrage of missiles chasing after something "What the!? Is that a human?" "Are you retarded? How can a human be flying in the sky? You read too many damn web novels!" "But.. but I swear it looked like a human!" "Shut it!" As he was hunted down, Song Yifeng noticed some ducks flying in the skies and almost got them killed as he went by "Ah sh*t, well if they do die I can always make some pecking duck¡­" After 30 minutes or so of being chased down, Song Yifeng got tired then found a mountain where he could suddenly turn and crash the missiles into "Phew, I finally got rid of them¡­" Song Yifeng thought However, his troubles had only started¡­ As he looked at the mountain that had been blown up, he noticed two presences. One being extremely powerful and could threaten him whilst the other seemed to be about the same stage as him "Hmm, it seems like a young woman at the 4th stage Innate realm is being chased by some old dude.. The True Monarch realm? Anyway what''s with all the chasing today?" he thought as he flew closer to the presences "Young Miss! You must come back!" the True Monarch shouted "No! I must find Yifeng!" the young woman shouted as she increased her speed further "She''s looking for someone named Yifeng? What a coincidence! Hang on, that appearance! Ling er?!" Yifeng thought Increasing his speed to the highest, Yifeng appeared suddenly in between the two like a shooting star as the three came to a halt in the sky "Who dares to interrupt me!" the old man shouted "It is I Daoist Nine Rings!" Yifeng said before turning to look at the young woman who resembled his fiance "Yifeng?" the young woman yelled "Is it really you? Ling er?" Yifeng asked Without saying anything, Ling er quickly jumped off her flying sword and into Yifeng''s arms "You! Let go of our young miss!" the old man shouted "Your young miss? Who''s that? I only know my Ling er." Yifeng replied bluntly "How dare you refer to the young miss as yours! If you don''t let go of her prepare to face my wrath!" he continued "Man, those are some cliche lines, don''t you have anything different to say? Always the same old lines over and over again.." Yifeng signed "You!" Before the old man finished his sentence, Yifeng took off at full speed in the blink of an eye. The old man made chase as Yifeng didn''t forget about Ling er''s flying sword and put it into his storage ring Holding her in his arms, Yifeng crossed deserts, mountains, plains, the snow and even volcanoes as he flew "Damnit this brat! How does he have so much qi to be able to keep up this pace for so long? He doesn''t seem to be exhausted at all! Once I catch up these old bones will grind your bones into dust! ¡­ After flying around at top speed for a couple hours, Yifeng finally managed to lose his tail. Finding a place to land, Yifeng slowly descended before jumping off as the flying sword shrunk and flew into his storage ring "Ling er.." Yifeng said as he caressed her head "Are you really my Ling Er?" he said "We''ll know if we ask each other questions won''t we?" Ling er replied ¡­ After the questioning¡­ "So it''s already been a year since we last met... I''ve missed you all this time." Yifeng said lightly "Me too! When I came here, I suddenly became some places, young miss!" Ling er said "Hmm isn''t that a good thing? Anyway, what''s your current surname?" Yifeng asked "Ning Lingxue! The same as our other life." Lingxue said "Oh God must''ve had a play in this." he thought "Anyway I can see that you are at the 4th stage Innate, your talent is very high to be there at this age. Show me your current cultivation technique and other techniques." Yifeng said "Well actually, when I came to I was already at the 4th stage¡­ Well, I''ll demonstrate now so watch carefully." Lingxue said 11 A Fiance? I’ll Smash his face in! Ning Lingxue then proceeded to demonstrate her current techniques for Song Yifeng to see. After he saw them, he noticed many flaws in the displayed techniques which he pointed out to her "One would think a place with a 6th Stage True Monarch as a servant to have some good techniques, every technique whether cultivation, martial art or movement techniques all have major flaws." Yifeng said "Let''s see now first do this¡­ this.. this.. that.. and that.." ¡­ After Yifeng fixed all the flaws, Ning Lingxue noticed the major improvements. She could now increase her cultivation speed by 80% whilst being able to store another 50% extra qi. Her sword technique now had less useless movements which in turn increased the maximum amount of damage inflicted in the same amount of time Her palm techniques became denser and more powerful whilst her defensive technique covered a wider range and her movement technique now let''s her move an extra 50% faster whilst minimising the amount of qi consumed "Yifeng these improvements are amazing! How did you see through all of them? It''s as if you were the one who created each and every one of them!" Ning Lingxue said "Err well you know how I was reincarnated and had three wishes right? Well that''s part of one of the three. Also I have some suitable techniques for you which is also significantly greater than your current ones." "First a cultivation manual suitable for females called the Permafrost Seeker. This helps the cultivator absorb moisture in the airand yin type spiritual qi then combines them together and finally condenses it into a core. This core will enable you to have ice based spiritual qi permanently and won''t conflict with other techniques." "Hmm as for a sword technique¡­ Ah this one here called the Snow Crane Sword Arts. The user mimics the movements of a crane whilst attacking and defending as if they were dancing which looks elegant and powerful at the same time. Now a movement technique¡­ Guess this other ice type one should do it. It''s called the Blizzard Peacock step, err well there''s nothing special about it besides leaving a path of ice and feathers behind whilst also being faster than other movement techniques at this stage." Yifeng said "Alright I will transfer these techniques to you come close." "Huh? Why do I need to come up close?" Lingxue asked Speechless Yifeng said "Well.. how else should I teach you the techniques? Besides this way will be faster since it will be engraved in your memory." "I see." Lingxue replied as she came close to him Song Yifeng then told her to close her eyes as he brought his forehead close to hers and placed it together with hers Woosh* A small beam of light flashed and goes into Ning Lingxue''s forehead as Song Yifeng moves back Seconds later, Ning Lingxue opens her eyes surprised "Well I''ll leave you to practice on your own. I''ll do the same closeby. Wait first, do you plan on going back or staying with me?" Yifeng asked "... I want to stay with you¡­ but I now have a father and a mother.. I must repay my karma to the previous owner of this body first." Ning Lingxue said dejectedly "Huh so you''re telling me that you didn''t just appear outta nowhere and change everyone''s memory as if you had always been there like what happened to me?" Yifeng asked "That''s right.. When I came to I had a splitting headache then gained a new set of memories.." Lingxue replied "I see.. Once I''m strong enough I will come for you. But I don''t know where it is so how should I find you?" Yifeng asked Ning Lingxue laughed "Hehe silly, I can tell you of course!" "... She''s right did my IQ drop or something or is this because my EQ is taking over??" he thought before he facepalmed "Well let''s practice for now, then I will stay with you until you want to go back. Hopefully that geezer won''t discover us." Yifeng said ¡­ After a day or two of practice, the two went into a nearby town after Yifeng and Ning Lingxue changed into modern clothing They had a nice meal together then went shopping and saw a movie like the average couple then went into a photobooth and took some couple photos After taking a bunch of photos in different poses, the final one was a kiss. The two didn''t feel shy as they kissed without hesitation Snap* After taking the photos, the couple went to a cafe for some tea "Hold up why are we having tea again?" Yifeng asked "Well, I''ve always wanted to go to one ever since I reincarnated, ever since then I''ve stayed in the clan and practiced every day. Ah I don''t know if I should tell you this¡­" Ning Lingxue said quietly "Hmm what is it? You''re making me anxious." Yifeng replied "Well.. The previous owner of this body has a fiance.. They were supposed to be wed once she became 20 years old." Lingxue said "What!?" Yifeng shouted as he slammed the table and almost broke it causing the crowd to eye him "Ah sorry." he said as he bowed "A fiance? Who? When? Where? Why? How strong is he? Can i pummel his face in?" Yifeng asked "No you can''t. Right now he is already a 5th Stage Spirit Sovereign!" Ling Xingxue replied "What? Just a Spirit Sovereign? Some weakling wants to steal my wife?" Yifeng said surprised "Are you joking? A newly ascended 4th stage Innate realm is calling a 5th stage Spirit Sovereign a weakling?" Lingxue said surprised "Yea? I mean I can fight evenly against a newly ascended 6th stage True Monarch afterall." Yifeng replied nonchalantly "I find that hard to believe.. but then again you did lose one of my butler along the way.." she said "So.. When is the wedding? I''ll come crash it on the day, no one can take my Song Yifeng''s wife!" Yifeng said resolutely 12 A Fierce Beauty "Well it''s about a month after I turn 20 so there''s still over a year left. Will you be able to become strong enough by then? My father is a 7th stage Spirit Venerable whilst my fiance''s father is also a 7th stage Spirit Venerable." Ning Lingxue said "It''s fine, I have it all sorted out already." Yifeng said "Alright, I''ll trust you then." Lingxue replied ... After a couple more days of cultivating and going around different places, Ning Lingxue took off on her Flying Sword and returned Song Yifeng sighed as he watched her silhouette disappear into the distance then stared for a while before taking out his phone "Shuhang should''ve gotten permission to invite me into the Nine Provinces Number One Group already... Let''s see what everyone''s up to shall we?" he thought as he tapped repeatedly on his phone He saw from Immortal Fortune Teller Copper Trigram. "This immortal master calculated that, after a little while, it''ll soon be the end of ''True Monarch White''s'' one-hundred-fifty-year secluded meditation, right?" Northern River''s Loose Cultivator sent a 13 Playing Doctor "My apologies. Would you like to come to my place and see if you can cure my grandfather?" Yi Cai asked politely "Quite the stark difference to her fierce personality¡­" Song Yifeng thought "Sure, lead the way." Yifeng nodded "This girl.. doesn''t she suspect whether I have ulterior motives or not?" he thought internally as they walked for a bit then went inside a limousine "Pretty fancy car, why would a rich heiress like her go to a shop in this city rather than seeking an expert? Something''s up here¡­ well let''s just hope that my intuition is wrong." Yifeng thought as he sat in the car "We will arrive in about 30 minutes, my apologies I haven''t asked for your name. You would''ve known already but my name is Yi Cai" Yi Cai said "It''s fine, I''m Song Yifeng. You don''t need to be so polite since you''re older than me by a couple years." Yifeng said "What? You''re actually younger than I am? To be able to tell what ingredients were used to make a fake ginseng with just your eyes and nose you''re amazing! May I ask who your master is? For him to have a disciple with great talent at such a young age, he must be a renowned figure." Yi Cai asked "Ah, sorry my master said that I must not speak about him." Yifeng immediately replied without any pause "My apologies." Yi Cai said ¡­ After 20 minutes or so of driving, the car drove up a steep mountain as it followed a singular road for another 10 minutes "This place is pretty good, her grandfather must be some wealthy 1st Generation to be able to afford such a grand place." Yifeng thought as he looked around As they arrived, the duo got out the limousine as the driver drove off to park the car nearby "This way please." Yi Cai said as she lead the way "Seriously how come she''s so different to before? Where did that fiery personality go? Guess I''ll never understand woman sigh¡­" Yifeng thought as he followed along Looking around at the scenery, a large mansion of over 3000 square meters sat as the vast garden expanded over another 1000 or so square meters. The garden had various neatly trimmed plants as well as many workers trimming each bush carefully without mistakes In front of the mansion at around 100 meters away, a large fountain sat there as a large statue of an old man made of pure gold stood proudly on a platform above the fountain "That old guy must be her grandfather, pretty handsome but not as handsome as I." Yifeng thought Approaching the door, Yi Cai opened the large 3 meter door with gold lion heads as handles slowly opened up On each side of the doorway, dozens of maids and butlers all bowed in unison as they said "Welcome back young miss!" "Thank you, you''re all dismissed." Yi Cai replied as she kept walking Song Yifeng looked around and saw plenty of famous paintings and instruments Walking upstairs, Yi Cai stopped at a certain room then knocked twice Knock* Knock* "Grandfather, Yi Cai is here." Yi Cai said "Cai er, come in." an middle aged man said from the inside "Grandfather, your granddaughter is here." Yi Cai said as she looked at her pale grandfather lying on a bed surrounded by people Song Yifeng followed behind as he made his way towards her grandfather and took a look at him using the library "May I ask who this gentleman is?" the middle aged man who had previously answered the door asked "Song Yifeng, he''s an expert I found with a good chance at curing grandfather." Yi Cai said "Him? This brat who seems to be even younger than you are?" a middle aged woman said "Huh how can she tell? Even Yi Cai didn''t notice¡­ how strange.." Yifeng thought as he looked at the middle aged woman and scanned her "I see so that''s how it is.. If I''m right then this is truly a slightly sad story indeed." "That''s right Cai er! How can this brat cure your grandfather who is known as China''s greatest miracle doctor? If even your grandfather cannot cure himself then how can this kid?" the middle aged man frowned and said "Cough, haven''t you ever heard the saying ''Only another doctor can save another doctor?'' Well it''s something along those lines but that''s not the point. I can certainly cure your grandfather." Yifeng said confidently "Really? That''s great, I''ll do anything as long as you can save grandfather!" Yi Cai said with excitement "Cough, anything? Does this woman know how ambiguous that sounds?" Yifeng thought internally "Hahahah! Bulls*it! If you can save my father I''ll eat s*it and then kowtow 3 times and call you grandfather!" the middle age man laughed "That''s right! I will too!" the middle aged woman said "Alright you said it yourself, don''t forget what you said after I''m done." Yifeng said as he approached Yi Cai''s grandfather Song Yifeng then looked at him and thought "Sigh, should I expose that person? It''s not right for an outsider to mess with another''s family issue." He then sat down and slowly moved the old man and sat him straight up "Hey! Why are you moving him? Countless doctors have said to keep him lying down! If anything happens to my father, you''ll pay dearly!" the middle aged man shouted "Calm down, am I the doctor here or you? Shut up if you don''t know jack s*it!" Yifeng coldly replied as he glared at the middle aged man sending shivers down his spine "You!" "..." "Second uncle! Be quiet and let him do his thing!" Yi Cai shouted at her uncle then watched Song Yifeng''s actions ¡­ Yifeng used his spiritual qi to press some acupoints around the back and front of the old man then took out a poach of silver needles he had secretly taken out as if it was always on his body "Silver needles? This brat who hasn''t even lived for two decades wants to perform acupuncture? Who does he think he is?" the middle aged woman said Song Yifeng ignored them as he took out each needle and stabbed into the old man at lightning speed as he poured in spiritual qi "As soon as I had entered the room, the library automatically taught me how to save the old man.. to think that he had this much Yin energy inside his body as well as some Yin type poisons that devoured his immune system for a couple years, he''s pretty tenacious for a geezer." Yifeng thought 5 minutes later, Yifeng quickly took out the needles before the old man''s body exploded due to excess Yang energy and spiritual qi He got up and said "Well I''m done. All goods." "You''re done? In just 5 minutes? You''re joking!" Yi Cai''s uncle shouted "Did you really cure him? He doesn''t look any different to before." Yi Cai asked "5..4..3..2..1.. now." Yifeng said Cough* Puke* Yi Cai''s grandfather vomited a pile of black blood as soon as Yifeng finished counting as the old man''s face became rosy and lips regained its color "Perfect." Yifeng thought "Grandfather!" Yi Cai said "You! Why did father cough out blood?" Yi Cai''s uncle shouted "Is your brain made of tofu? I cleared his body of his toxins and took out the poison inside his body, how else do you expect it to come out?" Yifeng asked with a dumbfounded expression Yi Cai''s uncle could only twitch as he heard that reply then looked at his father The old man slowly opened his eyes as Yi Cai and her uncle and the middle aged woman called him 14 Sunnyside Up "Grandpa!" Yi Cai shouted "Father!" her uncle and aunt shouted as well The old man opens his eyes slowly as he looks around to see his favourite grandchild along with his children looking at him "Ca¡­ Cai er¡­ Ba er.." old man Yi said slowly "That''s great! Your awake grandpa!" Yi Cai said excitedly as she teared up "Yikes let''s hope there''s no snot involved." Yifeng thought as he waited without making a sound The old man turns slowly to see an unfamiliar youth standing near him and says "This young man is?" "He''s the one who saved you!" Yi Cai said "Him?... Thank you young man. Please accept this old man''s gratitude." the old man said as he slowly got up with the help of his family "Glad to help, my name is Song Yifeng, if there''s nothing else I''d like to look around the place." Yifeng said "Please.." the old man said as Yifeng left the room then closed the door slowly ¡­ As he walked around the mansion and saw many famous pieces of art, he checked the prices of each of them which dumbfounded him "Jesus, even in this world some guys doodling can be sold for hundreds of millions? I mean look at that, a blue canvas with a couple white dots and a red line sold for 300 million yuan?" he thought "Maybe I should get into this business¡­ Those businesses that sell uncracked rocks which may have gems in them seems like a good field of business too¡­ With my eyes I will be able to see gems right away." "Hmm there''s not much to do, guess I''ll freeload here for a while before finding some senior in the group to play with." As he stood there and thought internally, Yi Cai slowly approaches him and broke him free from his thoughts "Thank you, Mr Song for your help. I sincerely thank you." she said as she bent down and did a 60 degree bow three times "Man she bows pretty darn low I feel like I''m being kowtowed to.." he thought as he stopped her from continuing "Mr Song, what do you want for your help? Our family has plenty of resources and connections if you need.." Yi Cai said "Stop here, first of all I''m younger than you so calling me Mr Song is a big no. How about I call you elder sister instead whilst you just call me Yifeng or little brother? As for a reward how about letting me stay here as a guest for a bit and then introduce me to a place or two?" Yifeng asked "Of course! You may stay here for as long as you want. I will also call you little brother then." Yi Cai replied "Great! Hmm it''s still a bit early for dinner, is there anything good to do around?" Yifeng asked "Hmm¡­ well there''s nothing much in this city besides some major businesses." Yi Cai said "Major businesses? That''s great, how about you bring me to see them and tell me about each of them?" Yifeng asked "Sure. My grandpa would also like to thank you again personally." Yi Cai replied as the two of them left the mansion and got into her car ¡­ "Seems like she has her own car too.. Why let the butler drive then?" Yifeng thought as he sat in the seat next to Yi Cai and looked around "Some major businesses in this city include, a large supermarket chain owned by a huge corporation called Sunnyside Up, a pharmaceutical business that occupies half of China''s pharmacies, an international jewellery brand and well as large real estate companies." Yi Cai explained "Seriously? Sunnyside Up? Who thought of that name? If I were the CEO that person would''ve been sacked!" Yifeng thought "Erm, are there any places that gamble stones?" Yifeng asked "Stones? As in the ones that might contain precious gems in them? I believe there is one not far from our location." Yi Cai nodded "Alright let''s go there then." Yifeng replied
