This High Martial World is Too Crazy!!!

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: The Number One Human Cauldron

The sun hung high in the sky, but inside the dimly lit bedroom, the floor was dusted with white frost.

Fang Can looked at the several girls staring dazedly at him, a thoughtful expression on his face.

”It feels like Lord Fang Can is brimming with some kind of Magic Power. Just a light touch and my whole body goes limp, drained of all strength.”

”And besides that... it’s just really hard to describe.”

”I feel like I can never leave his side for the rest of my life.”

The girls, faces scarlet, recounted every sensation they had just experienced.

After just an initial encounter, they knew they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.

It was the kind of feeling that makes you want to spend the rest of your life with someone you just met.

’Is it really that over the top?’

After hearing their descriptions, Fang Can’s head was full of questions. This was just too strange.

And it seemed it wasn’t just one part of him; his entire body had transformed into a human meat grinder.

The problem was, from his perspective, the experience had been nothing special.

People always talk about a ”bone-scraping steel blade,” but whose bones were actually getting scraped here?

Full of doubt, Fang Can walked into the bathroom to wash up, all while under the women’s insatiable gazes.

While he was in there, a few of them, overcome with lust, even tried to barge in to join him in the bath, but Fang Can firmly refused.

Once he was clean, Fang Can stepped out of the villa and dialed Liu Qingmeng, ready to contact her.

Having been in the modern world for some time now, both Liu Qingmeng and Jiang Ning’an had naturally blended into the era and were quite familiar with electronic devices.

That was why Fang Can had equipped them with cell phones a few days prior, just so they could stay in touch.

As the video call rang, Fang Can leaned against the outer wall of the villa, waiting for it to be answered.

Before long, a small, incomparably beautiful face appeared on the screen.

Liu Qingmeng looked at him with a smile in her eyes. ”Shouldn’t you be lost in a den of beauties right now?”

”It seems Elder Liu does know some secrets after all,” Fang Can said with certainty, looking at the girl’s dazzling smile on the screen.

Meanwhile, inside Fang Can’s villa, Jiang Ning’an, who was in the middle of cultivating, felt her delicate ears twitch slightly. A flicker of confusion crossed her eyes. ’Master is on a call with Fang Can?’

’Is it about a cultivation problem? Then why not call me? I can answer his questions too.’

With that resentful thought, the girl held her breath and, from her room, prepared to listen in on their conversation.

As the days went by, the energy drain on this avatar of Liu Qingmeng’s was causing her body to gradually shrink.

This wasn’t just a matter of appearance. In terms of strength, she was now no different from a girl her apparent age and probably couldn’t even beat an ordinary person in a fight.

Her personality, too, seemed to be conserving energy. She no longer projected an icy, unapproachable aura, and had become much more vibrant.

Just like now. At this moment, Liu Qingmeng was like any normal girl, admiring Fang Can’s looks and thinking that this junior was indeed easy on the eyes.

’Mm, he’s handsome. Even easier on the eyes than Ning An.’

Liu Qingmeng beamed. No wonder he had her own disciple so utterly captivated. She was probably eavesdropping outside right now.

Unaware of her thoughts, Fang Can said with a serious expression, ”Elder Liu, something seems to be wrong.”

”In just a single hour, my power has increased by at least three times.”

”I suspect I’m the one who’s been taken advantage of, but I have no proof,” Fang Can said, his expression grave.

Seeing Fang Can’s deeply furrowed brow, Liu Qingmeng almost burst out laughing. With great difficulty, she suppressed her smile, put on her best ”elder” face, and said:

”Your suspicion isn’t wrong. Don’t forget the Celestial Secret Tower’s assessment of you: Number One Cauldron.”

”So I was really... harvested?”

”You were, in a manner of speaking,” Liu Qingmeng said pointedly. ”In the dao of yin-yang harmony, the first time is the most critical.”

”And with your innate talent as a Cauldron, if you had a decent Dual Cultivation Technique, and that first harvest was properly harmonized, crossing one or two layers of the Profound Gate in one go would have been no issue.”

”But without a Dual Cultivation method, to simply swallow your primordial yang... that’s like an ox chewing on a peony. A complete waste of such a precious opportunity.”

”Given your talent, I would have recommended you save your primordial yang until after you reached the peak of the Third Layer of the Heaven-Ascending Road.”

”At that point, I would have personally gone to the Pure Heart Nunnery to borrow the *Great Joy Bodhisattva Heart Sutra* and had you and Ning An study it together.”

”By leveraging the power of your initial primordial yang, your odds of breaking through to the Fourth Turn could have increased by ten or twenty percent.”

Outside, listening to her Master’s lesson, Jiang Ning’an felt her whole body grow restless, and her usually fair cheeks burned a fiery red.

’How could Master do this? Just handing me over to this guy so easily.’ Jiang Ning’an no longer had the frame of mind to cultivate. She stood up and began pacing restlessly around the living room.

She wanted to go in and say something, but was too embarrassed to admit that she was eavesdropping.

’Besides... if it’s Fang Can... I guess it’s... not out of the question?’

The girl was so startled by this thought that she immediately shook her head fiercely.

’Wrong, wrong, wrong! It’s not like I like him. And even if I did, I couldn’t be so casual about it!’

...

Setting aside Jiang Ning’an and her life-ruining tsundere tendencies, Liu Qingmeng continued to stare intently at Fang Can. ℴ

To be honest about something she wouldn’t dare say to anyone else...

If she had encountered him a decade or so earlier, back when she was still struggling at the Third Turn of the Heaven-Ascending Road, she might not have been able to resist gobbling up a wild, walking experience-point-pack like him.

As for her disciple’s portion?

Heh. A tsundere wouldn’t even get her turn called at the party.

”Elder Liu, why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Hearing Liu Qingmeng’s explanation, Fang Can’s face was a mask of pure anguish.

If he had known it was so precious, he would have saved it no matter what, and never would have wasted it on something as trivial as gaining some cultivation insights.

”Don’t get ahead of yourself. Let me finish,” Liu Qingmeng said, holding back her laughter.

What could she do? She was enjoying teasing Fang Can more and more.

Seeing the normally straitlaced boy wear his emotions on his sleeve because of a few of her words was just as fun as teasing Ning An when she was a child.

Looking at Fang Can on the screen, Liu Qingmeng held up an index finger and explained:

”What I said before was just the general case. There are countless Cauldron physiques in the world, and every top-tier Cauldron has its own specialty.”

”With some, a single harvest can take you from the Profound Gate First Layer directly to the Ninth Layer. With others, the lost primordial yang will transform into a Chastity Ring that attaches to the harvester and provides a buff. And of course, there are also those that permanently improve the harvester’s aptitude.”

”And there is, of course, a reason why you are known as the Number One Cauldron,” Liu Qingmeng said, drawing out the suspense.
