Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 455: Body Cultivation I

ʼTch! This woman! Her breasts are as large as Orithʼs! Zhang Xiaolong [3] murmured in his heart as he groped Hong Xinxinʼs breasts. She didnʼt mind because he was still too young in her eyes, but she would likely be furious if she discovered he was a fully grown man.

”Yes, Aunt Xinxin. My brother accidentally met her when he was looking for the two heavenly foxes that came to the Netherworld Realm.” Hearing about the fox race, Hong Xinxin hurriedly pulled Shang Yaolin into the room and closed the door, and she sealed the room with her aura, so no one could eavesdrop on them.

”Actually, Longʼer is a mix-breed of a heavenly fox and a demon fox, and they came to the realm to hunt him down.”

”Oh?” Hong Xinxin immediately lifted Zhang Xiaolong [3] high and observed him for a brief moment. ”If you didnʼt mention it, I definitely wouldnʼt have noticed, and I could indeed sense the heavenly fox aura from him even though it was faint.”

After all, Zhang Xiaolong [3] mixed his two bloodlines to disguise himself with his current form, and he deliberately made his demon bloodline more dominant than his fox bloodline. ”Have you met those evil foxes before, Aunty?”

”Haha.” Hong Xinxin softly laughed before answering him. ”Even though those foxes almost always stay in their realm, I have met some of them in the past. Actually, not all of them are bad, and many of them are kind. However, itʼs a different story if we talk about their two ancestors, especially Tian Baitian, and he was truly evil.

Unlike him, Tian Baixing is quite gentle, and she doesnʼt carelessly kill other living creatures. If my guess is correct, that old guy sent their members to hunt you down to the Netherworld Realm, specifically because you are a mixed breed.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately put on a pitiful face as he sulked at Hong Xinxin. ”Aunty, big brother told me that they might have killed my parents, so I want to become strong to take revenge on them.”

”Such a pitiful child; you are still this small, but you have already lost your parents.” Hong Xinxin once again hugged Zhang Xiaolong [3] to her chest while rubbing the back of his head. ”Actually, you are really talented, you know? You should only be around 10 years old now, but your cultivation has already reached the 6-Star Soul Realm.

Usually, children of your age are just starting to explore their path of cultivation, so their cultivation is usually still in the elementary realm. However, your parents probably taught you to cultivate earlier than other children because you are a mixed breed, and you need strength to protect yourself.”

”Aunt Xinxin, you probably wonʼt believe it, but Longʼer is a dual cultivator.” Hong Xinxin immediately turned to Shang Guangming, who had just opened his eyes. ”Try observing him more closely.”

Hong Xinxin immediately used her senses to inspect Zhang Xiaolong [3] in more detail, causing her expression to change to surprise after realizing it. ”I thought you were the only kid who had Yin Qi from dozens of women inside your body, and I can feel some of them are very strong for the current you. Did your parents give you all of their Yin Qi?”

”Yes, Aunty. My parents are dual cultivators, and they told me that the dual cultivation path is the fastest to become strong, so they also taught it to me.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned to Shang Guangming. ”Big brother, I want to learn about body cultivation, so I asked big sister to take me to see you.”

Instead, Shang Guangming pointed at Hong Xinxin. ”You can learn directly from her, especially since she was the one who taught me my body cultivation technique.”

”Eh?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Hong Xinxin in surprise.

Hong Xinxin smiled and immediately sat on the side of the bed before placing Zhang Xiaolong [3] on her lap. ”Are you really interested in body cultivation, Longʼer? Unlike ordinary cultivation path or dual cultivation path, body cultivation path is really hard to improve, and you have to undergo a lot of harsh training to strengthen your body.

However, once you reach a certain level, your physical strength and raw strength will significantly increase. You will even be able to crush metal simply by squeezing it, without the need to use your cultivation.”

In response, Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded his head repeatedly. ”Aunty, Iʼm not only interested in the body cultivation path, but Iʼm also interested in the soul cultivation path. Unfortunately, my parents donʼt know much about those two cultivation paths, so they canʼt teach me about them. If you donʼt mind, Iʼd like to learn about the body cultivation path from you, so I can become even stronger.”

”Are you able to endure the excruciating pain?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] looked at Hong Xinxin in confusion, but then she took out a bottle and explained it to him. ”Unlike ordinary cultivation path, you canʼt just start the body cultivation path, and you have to undergo the body tempering process first, which will be extremely painful.

This potion is the key to undergoing the process, but its effects are akin to a deadly poison, as it not only tempers your outer body but also your inner body, including your bones. Thatʼs why not everyone can go through it, and only teenagers who have reached the age of maturity can start their body cultivation path, especially because the pain is extremely unbearable.”

ʼA potion with effects similar to deadly poison, huh?ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered before putting on a determined look. ”Aunty, I donʼt care what kind of pain I have to go through, as long as I can become extremely strong; even if the pain is extremely excruciating and unbearable, I will definitely be able to get through it.”

”Little Guangming, Longʼerʼs determination is much better than you.” Shang Guangming turned his head away upon hearing Hong Xinxin, who was rubbing Zhang Xiaolongʼs head, say this. ”Back then, you chose the body cultivation path, but you became fearful when you were about to undergo the initial process.

Even your father and Sister Qianying had to tie you up so that you could undergo the process, especially since you repeatedly ran away.”

”Pft! Hahaha!” Shang Yaolin laughed out loud and glanced at Shang Guangming, whose face had turned extremely red from embarrassment. ”Back then, he kept screaming in pain, and he also kept begging our parents to let him go.”

”Stop it, Yaolin! Donʼt mention that again!”

The three of them laughed out loud at Shang Guangmingʼs reaction, but Hong Xinxin suddenly carried Zhang Xiaolong [3] up before carrying him to the bathroom in the room, and the Shang siblings immediately followed.

After she filled the wooden tub with water, Hong Xinxin immediately poured the potion into the water and stirred it. ”Longʼer, you can take off your clothes now and get into this tub, so we can start the process straight away, especially since it takes so long. However, the process will be really painful, and you must maintain your consciousness while you go through the process.

Additionally, you cannot use your qi to protect your body, or my potion will not be able to penetrate into your body, and it will be wasted.”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] hurriedly took off his clothes, especially since he couldnʼt wait to become a body cultivator, so his physique could become even stronger. He immediately floated up to the wooden tub and immersed his body directly into it without thinking twice, and Hong Xinxin swiftly injected her qi into the water that had been mixed with her potion.

Soon, Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs expression immediately turned serious as the potion began to temper his outer body, especially since an excruciating pain began to course through his body. He could feel that his entire bodyʼs skin was tightening, and his body felt like it was being pierced by countless needles.

ʼMei! Watch me.ʼ Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately closed his eyes and sealed all his senses, including his sense of pain, as it was the best way to prevent the excruciating pain from affecting him.

Unlike the Shang Siblings, Hong Xinxin immediately noticed Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs actions, which really surprised her. ʼThis kid, heʼs still so young, but his mindset is way ahead of other kids his age, and he can even think of using such a method to withstand the pain. Moreover, itʼs not simple to close all our senses at the same time, and only experienced cultivators can do it.ʼ

After a few minutes, Shang Guangming raised his eyebrows because Zhang Xiaolong [3] still looked so calm. After all, he had personally gone through the process, so he knew very well that it was extremely painful. Moreover, he could feel the flow of Qi from the air entering his body, and it was getting faster with each passing moment. ”Hmm? How could he endure the pain, Aunt Xinxin?

Moreover, he can also go through the process while absorbing Qi from the air, and his Qi absorption speed is incredibly fast.”

”Brother, Longʼer once told me that he canʼt feel anything around him when heʼs cultivating, so I think thatʼs why the pain doesnʼt affect him.” Shang Yaolin explained as she gazed admiringly at Zhang Xiaolong [3].

ʼCould it be that he became so cautious after losing his parents? He even deliberately lied to Little Yaolin by saying something like that, especially since it was obvious that he could do it by intentionally closing off all his senses.

However, his Qi absorption speed is indeed incredibly fast, and not many cultivators can absorb Qi as fast as him.ʼ Hong Xinxin continued to use her senses to monitor Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she raised her eyebrows slightly when she noticed something unusual from him. ʼThis is weird! How could he do that?

Heʼs clearly just absorbing Qi from the air, but I can also feel the increase in the amount of Yin Qi in his body, as if heʼs absorbing the womanʼs Yin Qi at the same time.ʼ

Hong Xinxinʼs guess was not wrong at all, especially since Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei [1], and Feltia [2] continued to dual-cultivate with their own partners, and all his clones were connected to his real body in real time. As a result, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was also affected, and the amount of Yin Qi in his body continued to increase.

”What are your plans for this kid?” Shang Guangming and Shang Yaolin immediately turned their attention to Hong Xinxin. ”Thereʼs no way you two brought him here without a specific purpose, right? Do you intend to form a contract with him, Little Yaolin?”

Shang Yaolin immediately nodded to Hong Xinxin. ”Uncle Chenguang already said that he would help me form a contract with Longʼer, but he canʼt do it directly, especially since heʼs still a descendant of a heavenly fox, and his father might have left something in his soul to prevent that.

Thatʼs why he asked me to improve my relationship with him first, and heʼll help me do it after our relationship is really close.”

”I see.” Hong Xinxin nodded in understanding before her index finger touched Zhang Xiaolongʼs [3] forehead to try to read his memories. To her surprise, she couldnʼt do it because the system immediately stopped her. ”I donʼt know how this kid could hinder me, but I canʼt read his memories, so Shang Chenguang made the right decision by not helping you form a contract with him directly.”

”Are you really unable to do it, Auntie? Hong Xinxin responded to Shang Guangmingʼs question with a shake of the head, and he immediately looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] again. ”Could it be that his father has placed restrictions on his memories?”

”That might be true.” Then Hong Xinxin let out a soft sigh. ”Those heavenly foxes are always careful when they leave their realm, especially since too many cultivators target them to become their beast contracts. Therefore, they always protect themselves with some things.

Moreover, this kid is a mix breed, so his father probably deliberately placed restrictions in his memories to guard against something unexpected. If Shang Chenguang forced a contract between him and Little Yaolin, there was a possibility that the effect would be reversed, and she would become completely obedient to him instead.”

After Hong Xinxinʼs statement, Shang Yaolin trembled, terrified at the thought of being obedient to a small kid. ”Phew! Fortunately, Uncle Chenguang is aware of it, and I dare not imagine if such a thing happened to me. Although he looks innocent and cute, we donʼt know for sure about his background, so we still have to be careful of him.”

”Thatʼs true.” Hong Xinxin then said to them. ”The process will take a whole day, so you two can go to carry out your punishment duties, and I will monitor this kid myself. Otherwise, Shang Yingyue will increase your punishment, and you guys will be at a loss yourselves.”

Shang Guangming and Shang Yaolin sighed heavily, particularly due to their familiarity with Shang Yingyueʼs character, and hurriedly left the place to begin their punishments.

Hong Xinxin then sat beside the wooden tub, propped her chin, and looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ʼWho exactly are you, Longʼer? Iʼve known those heavenly foxes for a long time, but this is the first time Iʼve ever seen a heavenly fox mixed with a demon fox.

Unfortunately, your life will never be peaceful, and Tian Baitian will not stop trying to eliminate you, especially since you are a disgrace to the race.ʼ

Shang Yingyue was standing in front of the room inside the fortress accompanied by two people, but their expressions looked furious, especially since Shang Xiaojuan was still acting like a horny beast. ”Uncle Shang Tinglong and Aunt Ran Keqing, I donʼt know what happened to him, but heʼs been acting like this since last night.”

”This brat is always causing trouble! Iʼve told him many times not to attack Shang Xiaoyin, but he still does it, and heʼs acting like this now too.” Shang Tinglong then moved beside Shang Xiaojuan, knocking him out cold. ”I will take him back to our realm right now, or our patriarch will punish him if he continues to stay here.”

”I think itʼs much better.” Shang Yingyue nodded in response. ”Moreover, Shang Xiaojuanʼs presence in this realm made Shang Yaolin uncomfortable, and he even forced her to swallow a pill yesterday.”

”A pill?” Ran Keqing turned to Shang Yingyue with a frown. ”Do you know what kind of pill he gave Yaolin?”

”No.” Shang Yingyue then told them about the conversation between Shang Xiaojuan and Shang Yaolin yesterday, which caused their faces to darken. ”Anyway, I still have other matters to attend to, so you two can bring him back to our realm now and ask him directly about the effects of the pill.”

They immediately took Shang Xiaojian away from the realm, and Shang Yingyue herself also left the fortress.

A while later, Shang Yingyue had already arrived at the northernmost part of the northern island, and she landed behind Shang Wuzi, who was sleeping on a boulder. ”What are you doing here? Do you want me to increase your punishment? Itʼs already morning, yet youʼre still lounging around here.”

Shang Wuzi, who was shocked to hear that, immediately opened his eyes and jumped down from the boulder. He then pointed in one direction while explaining it to her. ”Senior Yingyue, I came here following Shang Xiaoyin and her three friends; they brought Shang Yaolin and that fox kid into that place.”

”Hmm?” Shang Yingyue frowned and felt strange about it, especially since she had checked the Shang Clan residence. She found Shang Yaolin and Zhang Xiaolong [3] there, but she indeed could not find Shang Xiaoyin and the other three women there. She then walked in the direction Shang Wuzi was pointing, but she was stopped by the barrier, so she immediately touched it. ʼThe mirage illusion array, huh?

Xiaoyin definitely got it from her mother, but this isnʼt a problem for me.ʼ ”Wuzi! Go back and do your work at the mine now, and Iʼll check on them.”

Although he was curious about the place, Shang Wuzi did not dare to disobey Shang Yingyueʼs orders, so he hurried back to their residence.
