What If I Can't Die?

by Legrev

Song Shi came to an immortal world where demons and monsters were rampant. He thought he was going to take a trepidatious road to immortality, but ended up awakening to a death-defying system, gaining strength from death and getting stronger every time he died. The whole style took a sudden change. Other people cultivated to seek immortality, but he was already immortal, and could

41 Cultivating Seriously for One Day to Become a Connate Expert!

"I didn't expect that the profligate son of the Song family would actually have some ability."

Perched on the dilapidated wooden building beside the city wall, a masked man was surprised by Song Shi's actions and drew his bow again.

This time, three arrows were shot at the same time.

He took out an arrow from the quiver on his back and sent it chasing after the arrow he released previously to attack.

Before Song Shi could land on the ground completely, he realized that three sharp arrows had been shot over in a triangular formation. He only had time to block two arrows before he was hit by the third and fourth arrows and fell into the weeds under the city wall.

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by an arrow. Physique 1!"

"You have absorbed power from death and obtained 1 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the motivation conditions. The lottery subsystem has been activated. If you kill the target within the specified time, you will be rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

The moment he was revived, Song Shi quickly escaped the place under the cover of the weeds.

A person carrying a longbow jumped down from the wooden building and walked over to confirm if Song Shi had died.

As he walked, he thought, "Even if you're at the Connate realm, it will still hurt to be shot by my chain arrows, let alone a Postnatal expert who has only learned some martial arts."

As he strode over however, he found that there were only a few arrows left in the broken weeds.

There was no dead body at all.

His pupils constricted and he was shocked, "There's no blood at all. How is this possible?!"

Whoosh!

A strong wind suddenly rose from the side, sweeping up a scorching wave of air.

He raised his hand to block.

Crack.

His right hand instantly broke, and a red-hot iron palm slapped his shoulder. With an ear-piercing sound of breaking, his shoulder collapsed.

It was as if he had been hit by an ancient giant elephant. At the same time that his body morphed out of shape, he flew away like a ragdoll and hit a tree, breaking it in the process.

"Pfft!"

He spat out a large mouthful of blood. Before he could catch his breath, a foot stepped on his chest and there was another cracking sound.

Song Shi looked down at this person coldly, "Why did you shoot me!"

He was furious. Someone actually attempted to kill him in broad daylight.

"It's… the Sun family, don't… don't kill me!"

The archer was in so much pain that he could not speak properly.

"The Sun family?"

Song Shi was puzzled. Wasn't it Hei Duzi? What grudge did the Sun family have with him that they had to send someone to kill him?

He exerted a little force on his feet, "Who exactly is it!"

"Don't step on me, don't step on me anymore! My ribs are going to pierce my heart!"

The archer screamed, "It was Young Master Sun Xuan who asked me to assassinate you. I happened to see you at the city gate and followed the footsteps to chase after you. In the end, I didn't expect you to jump so high. I felt that you weren't as simple as you looked, so I seized the opportunity to shoot you. I didn't expect you to be stronger than I thought."

"Why did Sun Xuan kill me? I don't have any life-and-death grudge with him, right?"

Song Shi narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know. I'm just following orders… You…"

Crack!

His voice stopped abruptly as he was stomped to death by Song Shi.

"Ding… congratulations on killing the target of death. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery!"

Song Shi looked at this person coldly, "Since you don't know, there's no value in keeping you. I'll personally ask Sun Xuan."

He looked around and lowered his head to plunder the other party's things. He even took away the bow and dagger.

He pulled the bowstring and realized that it took a lot of effort to draw the bowstring. The dead archer's archery skills were very exquisite. No wonder he could not block the arrows.

"Sun Xuan… You wouldn't go so far as to ask someone to assassinate me just because I snatched your woman at the New Moon Brothel, right…"

Song Shi frowned and guessed the reason.

Suddenly, a sobbing sound could be heard.

He stopped in his tracks and jumped onto a wall to observe. He realized that there were many corpses lying on the ground, covered in white cloth. Beside them, family members were crying and burning paper offerings.

"Plague!"

Song Shi's heart sank when he thought of what the Black Iron Guards of the Demon Slayers Division had said.

He didn't care much about it. He remained silent and turned up his speed in his return to the Song family's manor.

When he returned to his courtyard, he immediately sat down cross-legged and prepared to cultivate.

He was now increasingly feeling the importance of having his own set of abilities and strength. He was starting to feel that he should not keep courting death.

Especially now that he was in contact with more and more people and he was also becoming stronger and stronger, the possibility of being discovered through courting death was increasing.

Before cultivating, he opened the system to check his profile.

"Double draw!"

...

Song Shi started his lottery draws.

"Ding… congratulations on drawing a low-level spell, Fireball!"

"Ding… congratulations on drawing the top-notch healing Precious Pills and Rejuvenation Pills!"

Ads by Pubfuture

Two consecutive items were in the question mark section. One was a low-level spell and the other was a healing pill.

He wasn't too interested.

Dharma spells were still alright. As for healing pills, could it be comparable to his full recovery state after dying?

After absorbing the cultivation content of the spell, Song Shi immediately took out Liu Ruxue's Qi Enhancing Pill. He circulated the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Iron Sand Palm and the Yang Refinement Technique.

More Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was absorbed by him and transformed into the Nine Yang True Energy.

The Essence Qi in his body was also refined faster, turning into the Nine Yang True Energy.

"The Qi Enhancing Pill is beneficial to both Qi Cultivation and cultivation of martial arts!"

Song Shi fell into deep thought. He felt that his strength was not strong enough yet, so he should eat another one. Only then did he feel that his improvement was more obvious.

His cultivation speed increased significantly and white steam emitted from his hands. He circulated the Internal strength of the Iron Sand Palm and began to continuously temper his palms.

He began to circulate the Prajna Art again and then died eight times from Qi Deviation. Through this, he obtained eight points of Comprehension and successfully circulated them together.

The four techniques were activated at the same time and Song Shi's entire body started glowing.

Among these cultivation techniques, the Nine Yang Divine Technique cultivated the acupoints. Every time it circulated, the Genuine Qi would become thicker.

The Yang Cultivation Technique absorbed the Heaven and Earth Fire Spiritual Qi to provide external power for Song Shi's cultivation.

The Iron Sand Palm cultivated his palms. Under constant tempering, his Invincible Vajra palms became increasingly indestructible.

The Prajna Art cultivated the physical body. Specifically the muscles and bones in the entire body to obtain the strength of a raging bull.

Among the three cultivation techniques, the Iron Sand Palm and the Wisdom Technique were the weakest. Under the influence of Song Shi's powerful foundation and the Nine Yang Divine Technique, he mastered them in just half a day.

The Yang Cultivation Technique had reached the fifth level, which was equivalent to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

Half of the fourth acupoint of the Nine Yang Divine Technique had been opened but its speed was the slowest.

All four martial arts were of extreme Yang. Song Shi's body became hotter and hotter, as if his entire body was about to burn.

"I can't take it anymore!"

Song Shi had no choice but to fill a wooden basin with cold water and jump into the water to cultivate.

After cultivating for half a day, the water in the bucket boiled. Song Shi's hands suddenly burned with wisps of flames. His Iron Sand Palm had been cultivated to perfection.

"Ding… congratulations on perfecting the Iron Sand Palm. You have been rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

Not long after the Iron Sand Palm was perfected, Song Shi's muscles and bones crackle as he became stronger.

"Ding… congratulations on perfecting the Prajna Art. You are rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

Song Shi exhaled and opened his eyes. He looked down in shock. The water inside had evaporated!

"Is it that fierce? I might as well go into the well."

He came to the ancient well in the backyard and jumped down.

Soon, the well water boiled but Song Shi continued to circulate his cultivation technique.

His two martial arts had reached perfection, allowing him to easily reach the sixth level of the Yang Refinement Technique. He was only one step away from reaching the later stages of Qi Refinement.

At noon the next day, there was a puff above his head and a stream of red energy suddenly shot out, vaguely transforming into a bull.

The aura on his body suddenly soared. Just the power of his Prajna Art technique could now crush a Postnatal expert.

At the same time, his thoughts seemed to have broken into a new height. He could actually leave his physical body and detect the situation within ten feet of him.

This was the spiritual sense of a Connate expert or a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator.

"Breaking the Heavenly sect to become a Connate is that simple? But I only spent a day."

Song Shi muttered. If other martial artists heard this, who knew how many people would be green with envy.

Most Postnatal martial artists would never be able to reach the Connate realm in their entire lives. If Song Shi could do it after cultivating seriously for only a day, it would definitely infuriate them.

42 I, Big Smart, Am Also a Connate Expert Now

Actually, there was a reason why Song Shi was able to cultivate so quickly.

First of all, his Comprehension ability was very strong. The circulation of cultivation techniques was child's play to him. Hence even when he circulated the techniques quickly, it would still be very difficult for him to suffer from Qi Deviation.

Secondly, his physical body and Spiritual strength were now very powerful. He was already close to the Connate Realm. In addition, he had already cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique and other cultivation techniques together. Being at the so-called Connate Realm bottleneck level was not a big deal for him anymore.

For example, as Big Smart cultivated a Prajna Art and had limited strength, if he wanted to break through to the Connate realm quickly, he had to rely on medicinal pills.

Song Shi had cultivated four martial arts techniques and his foundation was especially solid. The Connate realm to him was hence equivalent to only a small threshold between the middle and late stages of Qi Refinement.

After breaking through to the Connate realm, Song Shi realized that his thoughts could also absorb a portion of the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, but it could not compare to the effect of when his spiritual root absorbed Qi.

Just by thinking with his thoughts, wisps of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi descended from the Heaven Gate and nourished his divine sense. At the same time, he could refine the Qi into the Nine Yang True Energy.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi of the Connate Realm was at least half the absorption efficiency of the spiritual root.

It was equivalent to having an additional means capable of refining Spiritual Qi.

"Is this the Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts? The benefits are great! Not only did I attain a powerful physical body and divine consciousness, I can also increase the speed of Qi cultivation!"

Song Shi was secretly delighted. He immediately refined the Spiritual Qi of the Connate Realm, allowing his Yang Refinement Technique to break through to the seventh level.

In the realm of immortal cultivation, Song Shi's current level was equivalent to stepping into the late-stage Connate realm. The gap between him and other cultivators like Wuchen Zi has become very small.

The total amount of Nine Yang True Energy in his body directly doubled, exceeding 100.

Then, his palms turned red. The pure power that had gathered in his palms shattered like sand, looking soft to the touch.

His hands had become like Iron sand, melding hardness and softness together. His Iron Sand Palm technique too had reached the Connate realm!

With the enhancement of two Connate martial arts, Song Shi's total True Qi reached more than one hundred and eighty points, far exceeding those who had just broken through to the Connate realm.

It was also only from this moment on that Song Shi's quantity of true Qi greatly exceeded his physical fitness. This situation will only be the norm from now on.

Whether it was cultivation or martial arts, the energy in his body should reach the upper limits of his body. Only then could he unleash his strongest strength.

Otherwise, with only his powerful physical body, he would not be able to fight effectively. He would thus be no different from a boor.

After breaking through to the Immortal realm, more Spiritual Qi was absorbed by Song Shi, which in turn led to the breakthrough of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.

The well water continued to boil and disappear at a very fast speed.

Another day had passed. Song Shi took a deep breath and channeled all his strength to the Shaoyang acupuncture point on his left hand and started to focus on cultivating this acupuncture point.

After two days of cultivation, more than half of this acupuncture point had been opened.

After receiving the full impact of the power he had gained through that, it was as if a sun had bloomed and then shattered with a bang in his palm .

A new space was born. The Nine Yang True Energy surged into this space and turned it into a new energy core.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The empty space trembled and the scorching Connate True Force surged about. Four red fireballs condensed on Song Shi's abdomen, chess and his left hand. They burned fiercely and Song Shi's clothes turned into ashes.

Terrifying heat spread from him to the surroundings, directly evaporating more of the surrounding well water.

Song Shi's body heated up like there were four small suns contained within him, emitting explosive fluctuations of power, causing the entire ancient well to tremble violently.

The four acupuncture points he was cultivating broke through an invisible barrier and suddenly formed a suction force that directly absorbed the power of heaven and earth from the void that opened previously.

When the Spiritual Qi entered the acupoints, it was like entering a furnace. It was quickly refined and fused into the True Qi.

"How domineering. The Connate realm of this Nine Yang Divine Technique actually directly absorbs the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth through the acupoints!"

Song Shi was shocked. The Prajna Art and the Iron Sand Palm only passively absorbs the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth through only the acupuncture point closest to heaven and earth, but the Nine Yang Divine Technique directly suctions it for absorption

"As expected of a divine technique!"

He sighed and continued to circulate his cultivation technique to experience the undiscovered mysteries of the new level of cultivation.

This time, there was an additional energy core, where three cores became four cores. Not only could this increase drive the circulation of his Genuine Qi faster, it would also allow the Nine Yang Divine Power in his body to increase rapidly!

Moreover, the upper limit of the energy stored in his body had not just increased by one-third unlike the energy core, it had been more than doubled.

This was because under the influence of the even stronger Nine Yang True Energy, the four acupuncture points widened further, going beyond just from a mere increase of three to four..

Other than the fact that his strength was purer and richer, his hands had become terrifying tools that could directly cause powerful attacks.

When it comes, nobody will be able to withstand the power from both his right and left palms.

After opening the fourth acupuncture point, Song Shi stepped into the early-stage of the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Technique. In terms of realm, his level was equivalent to the Connate or late-stage Qi Refinement realm!

His True Energy had once again increased by a large amount. The fiery red energy around his body circulated, tempering his body and expelling many impurities.

Other than that, his divine sense had also become much stronger. His thoughts could now cover a radius of 100 feet!

After his realm stabilized, Song Shi's Essence, Qi, and Spirit rose to another level. The total amount of True Energy doubled again and his Physique increased greatly.

At this point, his cultivation speed had also slowed down a lot. He estimated that to reach his next breakthrough in cultivation, it would take more than ten days.

His Prajna Art and Iron Sand Palm had already reached perfection. The Yang Refinement Technique was still two levels away from perfection. Whereas his Nine Yang Divine Technique was only in its beginning stages.

In a short period of time, there was nothing to break through in terms of cultivation. He could only continuously accumulate strength.

"I will end my seclusion here."

Song Shi looked at the remaining amount of well water that was about to be evaporated by his power and his face twitched.

It was indeed a little too much to cultivate these four extreme Yang cultivation techniques simultaneously. The power emitted had evaporated so much well water.

What would happen when he reached a higher realm in the future?

With a light tap on the water surface, his entire body seemed to be weightless as he gently bounced out.

With a casual bounce when he got to the outside of the well, Song Shi managed to jump higher than the roof. Every step he took was 30 feet.

It was just that his clothes had been burned away because of his cultivation leaving his entire body naked.

...

At this moment, a big bird was flying around in the wind. This gave him a weird feeling as if something was wrong.

"Fortunately, there's no one at home… Big Smart is also in seclusion."

Song Shi smiled awkwardly and looked down at his body.

He actually had an eight-pack now and the muscles on his arms had also become very obvious.

"The Effect of cultivating the Prajna Art is not bad. I've become a muscular man!"

Song Shi nodded in satisfaction. In the past, he was a profligate son who looked like a pretty boy. Back then, he was not muscular at all.

He looked more like a man now.

He ran back to his room, put on a brocade suit he found and opened the system panel to check his progress.

"Good lord, other than Comprehension, all my stats have at least doubled. The amount of True Energy has increased by ten times!"

Song Shi felt that cultivation was more cost-effective than courting death. Courting death causes him alot of agony so cultivation was much more comfortable physically.

"In the future, other than to obtain lottery chances, I should try my best to deliberately avoid dying."

He thought to himself. Just as he was about to draw the lottery, a burst of laughter suddenly appeared next door.

"Hahaha!"

"I, Big Smart, am also a Connate expert now!"

43 I Didn't Expect My Palms To Be So Powerful

A powerful force appeared and broke through the roof with a bang. The power of heaven and earth fluctuated about then surged towards the house where Big Smart's seclusion was taking place.

Song Shi sensed the commotion and strode out.

His gaze landed on the courtyard beside him and he saw a hole in the roof of the house. The True Qi released by Big Smart transformed into a ten-foot-tall bull and there was a faint mooing sound.

He could tell that Big Smart had successfully broken through to the Connate realm!

Generally speaking, because the Connate Realm could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, when the cultivation technique was circulated, it would fuse with one's Genuine Qi and form a unique phenomenon.

For example, the phenomenon after the Prajna Technique was that of a bull. The Iron Sand Palm was a piece of fine sand, and the Nine Yang Divine Technique was the sun. The different cultivation techniques perfected could be seen through the phenomenon formed.

Barbaric bulls symbolized strength, sand symbolized firmness and change whereas the sun symbolized masculine and explosive strength. They each had their own area of focus.

Swoosh!

A burly figure jumped out from the broken roof.

Big Smart was full of energy. His entire body was filled with thick Genuine Qi, causing his 200-pound weight to be like a feather as he easily flew across the roof. He was comparable to a Postnatal expert who had cultivated the high-tier Bounce technique.

When he discovered Song Shi, he laughed out loud, "Young Master, I've broken through. If I encounter those damned 'things' again, I'll have the strength to fight now!"

"Not bad."

Song Shi nodded slightly, sincerely happy for Big Smart. After all, this guy had kept his chastity for decades with extremely rare perseverance.

"Young Master, how can you say that it's not bad? It should be very powerful. You don't know how difficult it is to reach the Connate realm. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's one in a million."

Big Smart was not satisfied with this praise. Just as he was about to talk about the difficulty of breaking through to the Connate realm, he sensed Song Shi's aura and his eyes could not help but widen.

Crack!

He crushed a tile under his foot and fell off the roof with a thud.

More than 200 tons of weight smashed down, causing fallen leaves to flutter in the air and dust to flutter on the ground.

Big Smart gritted its teeth and stood up, fortunately, he was not injured.

He had no time to care about the pain he felt in his body. Instead, he stared at Song Shi as if he had seen a ghost, "Young Master… your… your aura…"

"Yes. I'm also at the Connate realm now. I broke through about fifteen minutes ago."

Song Shi smiled teasingly, "Now what were you saying just now?"

Big Smart was stunned.

He had just said that the Connate realm was very difficult, only one in a million can achieve it.

In the end, his master became a Connate cultivator even faster than him. But most importantly, this young master had only learned a few days of martial arts.

He had been following the other party for ten years. If Song Shi secretly practiced martial arts, he would have definitely known.

However, the Connate aura he exuded at this moment was ferocious and genuine. Moreover, the force emitted made him feel pressured. This was definitely not an illusion.

This meant that Song Shi had really reached the Connate realm before him!

"That doesn't make sense."

Big Smart had a bitter expression, "It doesn't make sense at all. How can someone reach the Connate realm after only a few days of cultivation? Where does this put someone like me who only reached the Connate realm after cultivating for 30 years?"

He began to doubt his life.

He had practiced martial arts at the age of six and had guarded his body for thirty years to maintain a mouthful of pure Connate Yang energy so that he could break through to the Connate realm one day.

If not for this young master's Connate Pill, he would not have dared to even try. Now that he had succeeded, he was not very happy.

This was because he realized that upon comparing himself to Song Shi he was actually trash, which infuriated him.

Seeing Big Smart's expression change, Song Shi smiled and said, "Don't belittle yourself. I'm a genius. My situation is just unique."

"Even a genius won't be like you, Young Master. You're a monster."

At this point, Big Smart revealed a look of horror and hurriedly took a few steps back, "Young Master, could it be… could it be that you were possessed by some old demon and that's how you became so powerful all of a sudden?"

"Possess your head!"

Song Shi's face darkened as he slapped Big Smart.

Crimson flames flashed and waves of fire surged, as if the sun was in the sky. Scorching Genuine Qi condensed into an iron sand-like palm print out of thin air and struck towards Big Smart.

Big Smart, who was also unconvinced, lashed out his palm in retaliation as well. Translucent Connate Genuine Qi condensed into his palm and the force of a bull and collided with Song Shi's Iron Sand Palm.

BOOM!

Genuine Qi exploded and Big Smart's palm energy collapsed the moment it came into contact with the power of the Iron Sand Palm. His expression changed as he was sent flying by the energy of Song Shi's palm.

The aftershock of the impact spread around the courtyard, sweeping up a huge gust of wind!

Before the wind could reach Big Smart, the latter had already shattered the fence in the courtyard after he was sent flying. There was a palm print on his chest and his clothes were charred black.

Big Smart clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked especially disheveled and said in shock, "His Genuine Qi actually left his body. Young Master has really reached the Connate Realm and his cultivation is far stronger than mine!"

The separation of Genuine Qi from the body was also a sign of the Connate realm. The strength of the Genuine Qi determined the difference in Connate strength.

He could not even withstand a single palm strike from Song Shi, which meant that the difference was huge.

"Aiya, I'm sorry. I was careless. I didn't expect my palm to be so powerful."

Song Shi smiled awkwardly. He really did not expect his Young master's Nine Yang True Energy to be so powerful.

Big Smart had just broken through the Connate realm like him, but was not his match at all.

He looked a little sheepish, "Are you all right?"

"Fortunately, Old Liu, I cultivated the Prajna Art and have a strong body. Otherwise, I would really have been slapped to death by you."

...

Big Smart smiled bitterly. For the first time, he felt reverence towards Song Shi.

Regardless of the reason why this young master possessed such powerful strength, he is no longer resentful towards it.

Song Shi walked over and reached out his hand to pull Big Smart up.

"I have a healing elixir with me. Here, take it."

Song Shi took out the Rejuvenation Pill and handed it to Big Smart. He basically had no use for it. If he really wanted to recover, he could break his meridians and die, to directly revive to prime condition.

Big Smart's heart warmed. He understood that his young master did not know how powerful he was and was not deliberately showing off his ability.

He took the pill and opened it. Just by smelling the fragrance emitted, he felt comfortable all over. He said in surprise, "These must be Healing Precious Pills that are of a high grade. It's too wasteful for me to eat these for my light injuries right now. Young Master, give them to Elder Qin. His injuries are very serious. If we don't treat him, he might not be able to survive."

Big Smart had received some guidance from Elder Qin before. Seeing that this Rejuvenation Pill was extraordinary, he wanted to repay Elder Qin by helping him through his injuries.

Song Shi nodded. "Alright, after all Elder Qin was injured because of my Song family. It's fine to give it to him. I'll help treat your injuries instead."

He remembered that the Nine Yang Divine Technique had a very strong healing Effect. He went over and pressed Big Smart's shoulder, injecting pure Nine Yang True Energy into his meridians.

Big Smart's body trembled as he felt a fiery power enter his body. Then, it spread into a warm area, and the injured area immediately warmed up.

...

In just a short while, Big Smart's injuries had mostly recovered. He exclaimed, astonished, "Young Master's True Qi is really magical. It actually has such an Effect too. In another day at most, I will definitely recover completely."

"That's good. To express my apology, I'll bring you to the New Moon Brothel to relax."

Song Shi smiled. He wanted to meet Liu Ruxue again.

"Forget it."

Big Smart was dumbfounded by Song Shi's suggestion and remarked, "After our Song family encountered such a misfortune, I'm sure they would rather avoid us. Moreover, it's not suitable for us to seek pleasure at such a time."

"Then I'll owe you one for now. In the future, you can tell me which girl you like."

Song Shi agreed with Big Smart's reasoning. Even if he wanted to see Liu Ruxue, he should go in private. The Demon Slayers Division probably knew about Liu Ruxue's identity.

Moreover, now that the plague had erupted in Silken City and that the Gu worms seemed to have spread as well, New Moon Brothel could have chosen to stop their business for now.

"Then let's go to the government office. I still need to check up on my father."

44 Phoenix Becoming into a Pheasant

Song Shi changed his plan and prepared to visit the old master Song. This was someone he was more concerned about at the moment.

"Alright, just as well I can send the healing medicine to Elder Qin."

Big Smart agreed.

"Let's go."

Song Shi did not hesitate and left.

He opened the lottery in his mind at the same time.

Due to the perfection of his two martial arts, he received two lucky draws.

On the lottery panel, he had already drawn the Unfettered Hand, the Connate Pill, the Phantom image Step, the Nine Yang Divine Technique, the Fireball Technique, and the Rejuvenation Pill.

Now, there were only six left. Among them, the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Connate Pure Yang Art, the True Yang Chain Mail, and the Gentleman Sword were all known. There were still two things that were unknown.

"Chainmail isn't of much use to me. I have a death wish. I'm not interested in protective gear."

Song Shi thought to himself and used up all the lottery draws at once.

Two draws in a row.

Ding… congratulations on drawing Breath Control Technique!

"Ding… Congratulations on drawing the Gentleman Sword!"

In the notification, the results of the lucky draw were revealed.

The Gentleman Sword was known to be a top-grade sword and is considered a divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud.

As for the Breath Control Technique, it should be a spell.

He checked the specific information on it.

Breath Control Technique: Converges one's aura and cultivation fluctuations. After Minor Accomplishment, it is effective for people of the same minor realm and below.

The Greater Mastery state was effective within the same realm.

In the Perfect state, he will be able to control his aura and the energy fluctuations of his cultivation to reveal them at his will.

Song Shi's eyes lit up when he heard that. This was a necessary secret technique to master in order to pretend to be weak.

Big Smart's reaction made him worried that others would discover his exponential increase in cultivation and this would inexplicably attract suspicion.

Now, as long as he did not encounter Foundation Establishment cultivators or extraordinary martial artists who exceeded his realm, he would not be discovered.

"I have to cultivate this secret technique. If I complete it, I will be able to reveal only as much as I want."

Song Shi was very satisfied. He directly absorbed the information and began to restrain his strength according to the new methods. His aura quickly calmed down.

Before long, Song Shi had reached the Minor Accomplishment stage in the Breath Control Technique.

Big Smart, who was walking behind, sensed the change and was a little surprised. He could sense that the fluctuations of this young master's power were constantly disappearing.

Soon, Song Shi turned around and said, "Big Smart, you can still tell that I'm at the Connate Realm?"

"It's hard to tell. The energy fluctuations are very weak."

Big Smart shook his head, "You feel like an ordinary Postnatal expert."

"That's good."

Song Shi chuckled and returned his attention to the streets along the way. He realized that it was especially deserted. Not only was there trash everywhere, but the people he saw were also in a hurry.

It seemed as if Silken City which was originally bustling and busy had been reduced to a dilapidated place overnight.

As they walked towards the government office, the number of people gradually increased, but they were all wearing masks and looked uneasy.

Song Shi's smile gradually disappeared as he quickened his pace.

When the two of them arrived at the government office, they were stopped by the bailiffs guarding the door.

"No one is allowed to approach!"

The guards in black masks and black robes stared coldly at the two of them.

"I'm from the Song family!"

Hearing Song Shi's words, the guard's expression could not help but change. He looked like he wanted to avoid him, "Wait a moment. I'll report to the head guard."

These guards were all from the government office. They were mostly security guards and people who were there to show off. Unlike the bailiffs, they had not seen Song Shi before.

"Song Shi, where did you go?"

The head guard did not appear. Chen Ming, who was dressed in a black robe, appeared and said anxiously, "There was no one here when I looked for you. Come with me."

"What is it?"

Song Shi was surprised. He guessed that he had managed to avoid Chen Ming's search while cultivating at the bottom of the well.

"Didn't you want to join the Demon Slayers Division back then? Now that there is something to do, it's time for you to contribute!"

As Chen Ming spoke, he looked at Big Smart in surprise, "Bring your guard along. If you can make a worthy contribution now, you can immediately become an official member!"

Song Shi could not help but think of the human 'tool' that Wuchen Zi had mentioned. He did not want to go, but he had agreed to them back then already, so it was not easy to refuse.

"Let me see my old man first."

"They were not staying in the government office all this time. Come with me!"

Chen Ming pulled Song Shi to a manor beside the government office, "This is our Black Iron Guards' temporary residence. Your family is quite lucky to be able to live with us. It's considered the safest in Silken City."

Song Shi thought to himself that if something really happened, they would also be the fastest to die.

He did not reveal anything and asked tentatively, "Brother Chen, what's the mission this time?"

...

"It's a secret for now. You'll know later."

Chen Ming patted Song Shi's shoulder, "Don't worry, it's something you're good at."

"My specialty?"

Song Shi was puzzled. He was just a playboy. What was he good at?

"Shi'er!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Song Wan, who looked much older, shouted excitedly.

This famous tycoon of Silken City was actually sweeping the floor at this moment, shocking Song Shi and Big Smart.

"What happened? How did you become a servant?"

Song Shi couldn't help but look at Chen Ming.

"Ahem, Old Master Song donated his wealth to the Demon Slayers Division and took the initiative to sweep the fallen leaves."

Chen Ming explained the reason.

...

"Shi'er, my Song family is about to be wiped out. What's the use of having tens of thousands worth of assets? The key is to obtain the protection from the 'lords' of the Demon Slayers Division."

Song Wan was very open-minded, "Since you've caught the eye of the 'lords'1, you have to work hard in the Demon Slayers Division."

"I feel like I've been sold for money."

Song Shi was rather speechless. He didn't really want to join the Demon Slayers Division, but since his father had already given away all his wealth, his mentality towards objection was different now as he no longer had a powerful backing.

At this stage, he could not protect his family as well hence he agreed with his father's choice, "Where's Elder Qin?"

"In the side courtyard. Your second sister is taking care of him."

Song Wan sighed, "He's seriously injured. The 'lord' from the Demon Slayers Division just saw him and prescribed medicine for him. He barely survived."

"Brother Chen, wait for me here. I'll go see Elder Qin first."

Song Shi gestured to Big Smart and followed Old Master Song.

Chen Ming looked at Big Smart, "The Song family's foundation is quite complex. They actually have another Connate expert. Unfortunately, this is a chaotic world. Even if they have a Connate expert, it will be difficult to restore their glory."

The narrow side courtyard was originally where the servants lived, but now it was where the Song family was struggling, at death's door.

A strong medicinal smell wafted out from afar. Song Shi saw Song Bei brewing medicine by the aisle. Her face was black from the smoke and Song Jia was washing a pile of dirty clothes with a look of disdain.

"Seventh Brother."

Song Bei waved her hands happily when she saw Song Shi.

Song Shi watched in a daze. This scene was really the embodiment of a phoenix turning into a pheasant2.

The two of them, who had once lived a luxurious life, seemed to have fallen grace so hard it was like they fell from the sky to the ground. They actually had to become servants just to obtain the protection of the Demon Slayers Division.

No matter how much money he had, in the face of death, it was just a pile of dead and useless things.

He said in a deep voice, "Are the three of you the only ones alive?"

"That's right. Some more have died and the others have run off. Now, other than you, Third Brother, and Fourth Sister, the Song family only has the three of us to rely upon"

Song Wan said sadly, "You have to live well and continue our family line."

"Hmph, don't we still have Third Brother? He caused all these trouble. He can continue the family line himself. Just give birth to a few more children in the future."

Song Shi sneered.

45 A Shrew's Talent

Song Wan smiled bitterly, "Whether or not Third Brother can survive is a problem. After all, the enemy wants to kill him the most."

"It's fine if you reap what you sow, but how could you implicate your own family?"

Song Shi sneered and strode over to open the door.

"Elder Qin is resting. What are you doing?" Song Jia hurriedly asked.

"Don't interfere in my business."

Song Shi had no interest in paying attention to this arrogant woman who was immediately discouraged when she met an enemy. He pushed open the door and walked in.

Song Jia was unconvinced and wheedled to her father, "Father, look at him. Isn't he the only male left in the family? Why is he so arrogant?"

"Don't say anymore. Seventh Brother is now valued by the Demon Slayers Division. They even asked him to participate in their quests. He might have a good future ahead of him."

Song Wan shook his head.

"Tsk, he's just a profligate son. How can he be valued? I'm a mid-stage Postnatal expert, but the Demon Slayer Division didn't even take a second look at me. He's most likely bragging only."

Song Jia was influenced by her mother and had a mean personality. She looked down on Song Shi from the bottom of her heart.

"I saw with my own eyes that the people from the Demon Slayers Division were quite polite to him."

Song Wan's words made Song Jia frown, "Are you senile? They just brought him in. Why are they being polite to him? Is it because he's handsome?"

"What is it with your personality? Why are you still so unruly after learning martial arts for ten years at Psychic Mountain!"

Song Wan shook his head helplessly. Having lived for 60 years, he was very experienced and couldn't be bothered to reason with his daughter. He flicked his sleeves and left.

"Is there a problem with what I said? How can he be valued by the Demon Slayers? He's not even as capable as me. When he encountered something, he hid in a brothel. I didn't even see him come back to help."

Song Jia muttered and followed him indignantly. She said with a sharp tongue, "He's still here to disturb Elder Qin's recuperation. He's not mature at all. Do you still expect him to shoulder this family?"

Big Smart had a strange expression when he heard this.

Miss Jia still had the same impression of his young master as before. She felt that the young master was still just a playboy who was waiting to die. When in fact, he was not as simple as he seemed.

He touched his chest. He was still bearing a hole in his clothes at his chest area and had an additional palm print there as well. He had just pulled a piece of cloth over to cover it.

In the room, the strong smell of medicine permeated the air. An old man with a white cloth on his chest was lying on the bed. His face was pale and his brows were tightly furrowed. He was unconscious and his aura was weak.

Song Shi walked over and injected a wisp of Nine Yang True Energy. After checking, he realized that the old man's Essence Qi was severely depleted and he had more than ten injuries all over.

Most importantly, there was a cold and unholy aura lingering in his body, making the entire room a little cold.

If not for the Connate Qi in the other party's body, any other old man like him would have died long ago.

The moment his Nine Yang True Energy entered Elder Qin's meridians, there was a faint scream. It was like darkness meeting the sun. Strands of black gas were forced out, emitting a sizzling sound.

Elder Qin's face flushed red and he instinctively spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"Stop! What are you doing!"

Song Jia saw that Elder Qin was covered in black smoke from Song Shi's touch and was still vomiting blood. She said angrily, "You killed Elder Qin. Who will protect my Song family?"

"Can't you tell that I'm healing him? Didn't you bring your brain to the mountain when you went to learn martial arts?"

Song Shi frowned.

"How dare you scold me!"

Song Jia flew into a rage out of humiliation and directly latched on to how she was scolded. She didn't care about the outcome of Song Shi's actions which caused Elder Qin's face to clearly turn red.

Song Shi could not be bothered with this stupid woman. He turned around and said, "Big Smart, feed Elder Qin the medicine."

"Yes!"

Big Smart took out the medicine bottle and reached out to carefully open it, afraid that it would hurt the effect of the precious medicine.

A hand suddenly grabbed over and snatched the bottle away. "You still want to give Elder Qin medicine? Is the medicine prescribed by the doctor of the Demon Slayers Division inferior to trash like you?"

"Miss Jia, you!"

Big Smart was also a little angry. He was afraid that he would damage this pill, but he did not expect this woman to snatch it away.

Otherwise, if he had been prepared, the bottle would not have been taken away.

PIAK

A slap landed on Song Jia's face, making her dizzy. Her hair became disheveled and she fell to the ground.

Song Shi's hand blurred as he snatched the medicine bottle away. He stared coldly at the woman who was in disbelief and stunned from the slap, "Have you lost your brain from practicing martial arts? Why do you still think so highly of yourself? This is really as expected of the offspring of the old witch."

With a face full of disdain, he turned around and took out the pill. He stuffed it into Elder Qin's mouth and dissolved the pill with his Genuine Qi. Under the effects of the pill, Elder Qin's expression continued to improve.

Song Jia, who was behind him, saw that not only was she scolded and beaten, but she was also ignored. Her inner shrew instantly erupted. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she pounced on Song Shi. "Ah! You little b*stard, how dare you hit me!"

Song Shi slapped this unreasonable shrew again.

PIAK

Song Jia, who was well trained in martial arts skills, was actually slapped again. She was directly sent flying and her face became covered in dust.

A palm print appeared on her beautiful face and swelled up immediately.

Song Wan's eyelids twitched. He could see that this profligate son of his was different from before. Song Jia, who had a solid foundation in martial arts, had actually been slapped by him twice in a row!

He roughly understood why the Demon Slayers Division valued this son.

This son of the Song family who was protected by him was actually a hidden expert!

"Big Smart, you have to hold it steady next time. What's the use of having your things snatched away by such a shrew?" Song Shi looked at Big Smart expressionlessly as a murderous aura enveloped him.

Ads by Pubfuture

Big Smart's expression changed drastically and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly bowed in a low voice, "I'll definitely be better next time."

When Song Bei saw that her brother was a little fierce, she shrank back in fear and went to brew the medicine obediently.

...

"Ahhh! Song Shi, you b*stard son of a b*tch. How dare you hit me? If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think you're the sh*t?"

Song Jia heaved out. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She then rushed over again.

"That's enough. How long are you going to keep this up?"

Song Wan couldn't stand it anymore. Why was this woman so much like her mother? Just like her, she would cause trouble whenever something that doesn't go her way happened. Did she really think that things were still the same as before?

"Father, how dare you criticize me!"

Song Jia's eyes widened, and her hand trembled as she pointed at Song Wan, "Mother just died and you're already siding with this bastard?"

Hearing this, Song Wan was so angry that his chest heaved violently and his face darkened.

Big Smart grabbed her and said coldly, "Miss Jia, your current ability is really insufficient. If you still mess around now, you'll only be at a disadvantage."

With that, he dragged the woman out.

"This is ridiculous."

Song Shi was also in disbelief at her audacity. Why didn't the Gu worms and Black Venom kill this woman?

...

Ignoring the other party, he said to Song Wan, "Who attacked the government office tonight and knocked Elder Qin unconscious?"

The anger on Song Wan's face immediately turned into fear. His lips trembled as he said, "It… It was a strange black colored baby. It was scarily fierce. It actually bit several people to death."

"I understand. You guys continue to stay here."

Song Shi nodded and left.

"Shi'er, be careful."

With Song Wan's reminder, Song Shi went outside. Chen Ming was still waiting for him.

"Looks like your family matters are a little complicated. They're still making a fuss at this time."

Chen Ming muttered and asked, "Is the matter settled?"

"It's over. Where to next?"

"New Moon Brothel."

"New Moon Brothel?"

Song Shi's expression changed slightly. Why were they going to this place for an operation?

46 I Have Muscles Too, Okay?

"You're a frequent visitor of the New Moon Brothel. We need you to investigate the situation there since you are familiar with it. Get in the carriage first."

Chen Ming brought Song Shi to the door. There was already a carriage waiting there. The two of them sat on it.

"Your guards will go with you later. You can take care of each other."

"What do you want to investigate?"

Song Shi asked calmly.

"Go and check how many new unfamiliar faces there are inside. Take this jade and hang it on your waist."

Chen Ming handed a piece of jade to Song Shi.

Just as Song Shi felt like he was a spy, Big Smart who was feeling an impending headache walked over and said, "Young Master, women are really too difficult to deal with."

"Ignore them then. Come up. Let's go to the New Moon Brothel to have fun."

"Why am I going to the New Moon Brothel again. I don't have any experience dealing with women."

Big Smart said bitterly.

"You will be more experienced after a few more interactions."

Song Shi smiled evilly and waved the jade. He said to Chen Ming, "Since this is a quest, if I do it well, there should be a reward, right?"

"Naturally."

Chen Ming smiled and looked at Big Smart, "Brother, are you interested in joining our Demon Slayers Division too?"

Song Shi did not speak.

Big Smart was already at the Connate Realm, his abilities were enough to catch the interest of the Demon Slayers Division.

If this guy ran away with the Demon Slayers Division, he wouldn't hold it against him.

"I'm not interested. I, Old Liu, will follow the Young Master."

Big Smart shook his head. He was a very persistent person. If he could keep his chastity for 30 years, he would continue to work hard to repay Song Shi for his entire life for helping him break through to the Connate realm.

"What a pity. There's no future in being a guard. It can't compare to being a commander of my Demon Slayers Division. Not only that, you don't have freedom as a guard."

Chen Ming felt regretful.

"Let's go to the New Moon Brothel."

Song Shi said impatiently.

"There's no hurry, I haven't finished talking about the matter. Besides, you guys will go alone this time. It's not suitable for me to show my face."

Chen Ming shook his head, "We will monitor you in the dark. Be careful. Not only are the Heavenly Fiend Cult's demons invited, but there are also many people from all walks of life."

Song Shi was puzzled, "What are they all doing here?"

"Some want to cause trouble while others want to fish in troubled waters (1. Fishing in Troubled Waters is a Chinese idiom that describes seizing an opportunity in the midst of chaos). In short, most of them want to obtain benefits in these troubled times."

"So my quest is to just go in and take a look? Is there a time limit and a specific goal?"

"There's no time limit, but you have to find out how many unfamiliar faces there are. The method is very simple. Walk around thoroughly inside and the photographic jade will record it."

Chen Ming pointed at the jade pendant given to Song Shi.

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. So there were cameras in this cultivation world.

"That's all. Just relax and shop. They don't know that you're from the Demon Slayers Division and will only treat you as a profligate son."

Chen Ming chuckled and left without another word.

"Let's go."

Song Shi sat cross-legged on the carriage and began to cultivate.

"Okay."

Big Smart drove obediently. He did not become arrogant because it had reached the Connate realm. Even though he was arrogant before, his arrogance was already destroyed by Song Shi's slap!

After experiencing the benefits of cultivation, Song Shi became a Master of Time Management. Not only did he make the best use of his time to cultivate, but he also multitasked. He pushed his breath control technique to the Great Mastery stage in one go and his aura became even more concealed.

In his cultivation state, time passed very quickly.

"Young Master, we're here!"

Big Smart parked the carriage steadily in front of the New Moon Brothel and reminded him softly. He admired his young master even more now because he seemed to have become very diligent.

"Yeah."

Song Shi opened his eyes. He did not have much of a powerful aura on him and looked just like an ordinary profligate son.

"Cultivating a few kung fu skills at the same time is refreshing and efficient."

He thought with satisfaction as he got out of the car and swaggered towards the door with his hands behind his back.

"You don't have to follow me, in case you attract attention. I'll scout the way first."

Song Shi walked leisurely. As the sun was setting, the New Moon Brothel became more lively.

It seemed that New Moon Brothel did not close down from the plague or the Gu worms wreaking havoc in the city.

He couldn't help but sigh. "Behind the red lacquered gates, wine is left to sour, meat to rot. Outside the gates lie the bones of the frozen and the starved.

Those with money and power could still indulge in pleasures and lead a drunken life, but the peasants had to face plagues and Gu worms, with their lives on the line.

What a chaotic world!

"Seventh Young Master Song!"

The maidservant who welcomed the guests was surprised. She heard that the Song family had almost been wiped out overnight. How could this person still be in the mood to come here?

...

"What? You don't welcome me?"

Ads by Pubfuture

Song Shi came back to his senses. His gaze passed through the maid and landed on the insides of the New Moon Brothel.

All the customers in there were faces he was unfamiliar with, which was rare in the past.

"No, how could I dare to think that way? It's just that the situation in the tower these two days is a little special. It's better if Young Master doesn't go in."

The maid was in a difficult position and said softly, "The guests these two days are all extraordinary people. It won't be good if they hurt the Young Master."

"All the more reason for me to go in and broaden my horizons."

Song Shi chuckled and strode in. Immediately, many people sized him up with their piercing gazes. But after realizing that he was a weak young master, their gazes instantly dissipated.

"These guys' eyes are too invasive!"

Song Shi, whose Spiritual strength was far stronger than all of them, felt full malice directed at him. Then, this malice turned into disdain and indifference, as they seemed to look down on him completely.

Song Shi was overjoyed. His gaze inadvertently swept across the hall. There were more than twenty people sitting at seven or eight tables. Some were alone while some were in groups.

There were only two people that concerned him as he instinctively sensed danger around them.

...

One of them was sitting by the window. He wore a green scarf on his head and was dressed in white. His face was feminine and handsome and his peach blossom eyes were half-smiling. It was enough to make women all fall for him. He had greasy hair and a pink face, and was drinking from a jade cup.

The other person was sitting in the middle of the hall. His style was completely different. He looked fiendish, with big eyes and a bare chest. His skin was bronze and his muscles were large and chunky throughout his body.

This person had a stocky build and his height was comparable to an ordinary person. His aura was domineering and fierce and he looked especially strong. He was like a black bear who could probably scare the children next door to tears.

When he saw Song Shi, the latter placed the big bowl of wine on the table with a bang and said disdainfully, "Hmph, another pretty boy."

"Tong Hu, I'm already sitting far from you and you're still f*cking mocking me?"

The feminine-looking young man by the window glanced over coldly. He was obviously at odds with this burly man.

"I'm not talking about you, Feng Yuxiao. Don't make baseless assumptions."

Tong Hu sneered, "Today, I'm here to sleep with the beauty of the Moon Palace, Liu Ruxue. Why are you sitting here, pretty boy? Go play with a man instead. This kid suits you very well."

"F*ck!"

Song Shi's face darkened when he heard this. He was a straight man, so he was unhappy when he heard this.

You're the pretty boy. Your entire family consists of pretty boys. I have muscles too, okay?

"You're courting death!"

A cold light flashed in Feng Yuxiao's peach blossom eyes and a circle of cold air appeared, causing the temperature in the room to drop.

"Pretty boy, how many punches can you withstand?"

Tong Hu grinned, and a circle of yellow light appeared. The air nearby suddenly became heavy as tensions deepened.

"Aiya, please calm down my two esteemed guests. We don't have the capacity to withstand the battle between the two disciples of the Frost Jade Cave and the Vajra Sect."

Mei Niang hurriedly came out to mediate the fight, afraid that the fight would destroy the building.

Tong Hu grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, "Alright, if you don't want us to battle, let Liu Ruxue come out and serve me!"

47 It's Been a Long Time, Come and Beat Me to Death!

"Well …"

Mei Niang looked troubled, "Miss Xue'er is not feeling well and can't see everyone for the time being."

"No, my ass. I've been waiting here for two days yet I haven't seen a single person. Are you playing with us?"

Tong Hu cursed.

!!

"That's right, Mei Niang. I've just arrived at Jinxiu City and I've already heard that the top celebrity here, Miss Xue'er, is a beauty. In the end, I can't even catch a glimpse of her . Are you playing with us?"

"Let her out quickly so everyone can take a look. It's not like you will lose anything."

"This is the first time I've heard that girls in such places don't come out to receive guests."

Tong Hu's words attracted the agreement of many people, and they started to jeer.

"Tong Hu, she's a disciple of the Moon Palace, not a prostitute. What right does a troll like you have, to get close to her?"

Feng Yuxiao looked disdainful.

"Feng Yuxiao, who would like a sissy like you?"

Tong Hu retorted with a confident expression, "Even if Miss Xue'er isn't a prostitute, she still has to find a Dao companion. Other than me, who else is qualified?"

Song Shi was unhappy. Even though he knew that Liu Ruxue could not avoid provoking men in such a place, he still felt disgusted when he saw a bunch of men waiting for her here.

For the past month, Liu Ruxue only served him. The natural possessiveness instinct of a man made him see Liu Ruxue as his own. Naturally, he was dissatisfied with these people fighting over her.

If Liu Ruxue was really snatched away, she would be no different from the other prostitutes and would no longer belong only to him.

"Xue'er already has a Dao companion!"

A cold voice sounded from upstairs. It was like pearls and jade falling on a plate, like a celestial voice falling, making everyone's hearts tremble.

In the next moment, the roof lit up brightly and the sound of bamboo flowing could be heard. Snowflakes danced in the air and a fairy in white fluttered down.

Her pure white silk dress swayed in the wind. It was specially made from the silk of a snow silkworm. The material was thin, soft, and smooth. When worn by Liu Ruxue, she was as graceful as a swan and as majestic as a dragon.

She wore a pair of green embroidered shoes on her jade-like feet. Her calves under the skirt were slender and straight. Her figure was graceful and beautiful. Her skin was fair and flawless, as if it was carved from suet jade. Her appearance was beautiful and her temperament was refined. She was smiling at Song Shi.

The appearance of this alluring woman immediately made all the men present unable to take their eyes off her.

Song Shi also praised Liu Ruxue's beauty in his heart. He felt that this woman was becoming more and more radiant. Could it be because her cultivation level had increased?

"The disciples of the Yao Moon Palace are so elegant. They're like fairies, completely different from those sluts of the He Huan sect."

Tong Hu smiled lewdly, slammed the table, and stood up. He was about to grab the embroidered shoes that were falling from the sky.

Liu Ruxue smiled faintly. A breeze blew by her and her slender hand drifted away. She avoided the big hand and landed gently beside Song Shi.

"Senior Brother Tong Hu, don't touch me so casually. I really have a Dao companion."

Ads by Pubfuture

As she spoke, she leaned against Song Shi like a little bird and hugged his arm with her slender hand.

Swish swish swish!

Many pairs of unfriendly eyes immediately turned to stare at Song Shi.

"F*ck…"

Song Shi cursed in his heart, "What a femme fatale. She provoked everyone the moment she arrived."

But wasn't that what he wanted?

He, who was not afraid of death, needed to court death anyways. Why should he care about the envy and jealousy of these people?

His expression was as calm as he took the opportunity to hug her waist and said with a smile, "Everyone, Xue'er is my woman. Go wash up and sleep."

His confident look made some cautious people hesitate.

"This kid is really arrogant!"

"He's only in the Postnatal realm. What right does he have to pretend in front of so many Connate and late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators?"

"He probably has some powerful background. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fearless."

Feng Yuxiao stared at Song Shi with interest. Was this person being used as a shield, or did he really have a background?

Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi in shock.

She only did this to find an excuse to dissuade these people. With the reputation of the Moon Palace Sect, these people probably wouldn't dare to use force.

In the end, this fellow actually provoked these people. Wasn't he asking for trouble?

Indeed, the hot-tempered Tong Hu exploded and cursed, "Damn it, pretty boy, what right do you have to be Xue'er's Dao companion?"

His burly body that was more than two meters tall stood forward and an oppressive aura immediately enveloped Song Shi.

Seeing that the big guy was staring at him, Song Shi was filled with anticipation, "Come and beat me to death then. I haven't died in a long time!"

On the surface, Song Shi sighed and looked lonely, "Sigh, I can't help it if I'm too handsome. I was so charmed that Xue'er was crying and pestering me to become my Dao companion."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. This guy was too narcissistic.

This guy was indeed considered handsome among ordinary people, but everyone present had seen better-looking people. He was simply narcissistic.

Liu Ruxue rolled her eyes at Song Shi, "Alright, let's go into the rooms."

"Alright, let's go have fun and ignore this big guy."

Song Shi held Liu Ruxue's hand and walked upstairs arrogantly.

"Did I say you could go?"

Tong Hu stopped Song Shi in anger. He was so angry he could not take it anymore, especially when this guy had deliberately provoked him.

Song Shi sneered, "Why? Are you blaming me for being ugly? Look, he's so anxious. Is he jealous of me?"

...

Ads by Pubfuture

He was filled with anticipation, "Hurry up and kill me!"

"F*ck your mother who said I was jealous!"

Tong Hu made his move. His aura exploded as he raised his fist to punch Song Shi's head.

Faced with this punch, Song Shi's expression was calm, as if he could not react in time.

In fact, just as he was about to be hit, Song Shi deliberately retracted all his strength and used his head to receive the other party's clay pot-sized fist.

Boom!

The air exploded and Song Shi flew out like a rag as if he had been hit by a brute elephant.

As he flew backward, his clothes wrapped around the photographic jade at his waist. Then, he fell hard and smashed the shop on the opposite street into pieces.

"Ding… You have been killed by a cultivator with a punch. Physique 3!"

"You have absorbed strength from death and obtained 2 Freedom Attribute Points!"

"You will be resurrected in three seconds!"

...

"No resurrection location set. Resurrection on the spot by default!"

"Ding… congratulations on being killed by a new target. You meet the motivation conditions. The lottery subsystem has been activated. If you kill the target within the specified time, you will be rewarded with one chance to draw the lottery."

…

When Song Shi was beaten to death, the aftershock of the force spread far and wide. Broken wood flew everywhere on the streets and dust filled the sky, scaring passersby nearby to scream and flee.

Hearing the commotion, Big Smart rushed out of the horse stable where the carriage was and looked at the collapsed shop in confusion. For the time being, he did not know who had been beaten up so badly.

In a distant restaurant, several pairs of speechless eyes met each other's gaze.

"Chen Ming, are you serious? The person you found is too unreliable. He was beaten out the moment he entered?"

"Ahem, there might have been an accident."

"Does he need help? Look at the destructive power. I think he's been beaten to death."

"I don't think so. He has a solid body."

"Prepare to replace him. Even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be severely injured!"

At this moment, the resurrected Song Shi grinned, "Since I have been successfully killed, I'll have a chance to draw the lottery if I kill you!"

He was overjoyed and pulled himself out of the shattered building unscathed.

Inside the New Moon Brothel.

Everyone was a little surprised and whispered.

"What's going on? Even if this kid doesn't have much ability, he should have has some protective Dharma artifacts, right?"

"Could it be that he's pretending? He's weak and doesn't have any background?"

"If that's the case, then he died in vain!"

48 Treasure Body, Dharma Body, and Spirit Body

Liu Ruxue looked at the spot beside her where Song Shi had disappeared from in a daze and frowned. "You're too much!"

She knew that Song Shi had neither a powerful background nor enough strength. Even if Tong Hu did not use much Spiritual Energy, he would still not be able to withstand a punch from Tong Hu, who was at the ninth level of Qi Refinement and specialized in the skill of Body Tempering.

Her Furnace was destroyed just like that. Not to mention that she had already developed some feelings for Song Shi, who was her first man, over time.

For the first time, Liu Ruxue was so angry that her body trembled involuntarily in front of outsiders. It was as if someone had destroyed her beloved pet.

Tong Hu smiled awkwardly, "Um, I didn't expect this kid to have no reaction at all, nor have any protective Dharma artifacts."

He was really surprised. He had just wanted to teach him a lesson casually. Who would have thought that it was so effective?

In fact, it had gone too smoothly. He felt that he had actually destroyed the other party with only one punch. This was a little awkward.

Mei Niang's expression turned slightly cold as she walked over, swaying her bottom. She said meaningfully, "Lord Tong Hu, although this is only an outlet of the New Moon Brothel in the outside world and there are no experts guarding it, isn't it a little too much for you to publicly kill the Dao companion of a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace?"

Tong Hu frowned, "He is not a disciple of the Yao Moon Palace, right? Is there a need to be so serious?"

"The Dao companions of the Yao Moon Palace's disciples are also protected by the palace. Lord, don't you know?"

Mei Niang was also angry. Just as Liu Ruxue was about to rely on this Dao companion to succeed in her cultivation, he was beaten up and even killed!

Even if Song Shi did not die, he would definitely be crippled. Liu Ruxue's improvement would undoubtedly slow down. She did not know how long it would take for her to make a comeback.

"Ahem, what an accident. Why don't I become Xue'er's Dao companion and sacrifice some EXP to compensate you?"

As Tong Hu spoke, he sized up Liu Ruxue greedily.

For someone like him who had a higher cultivation level than Liu Ruxue, the other party would not be able to absorb his power. It was very rare for Liu Ruxue that someone like Tong Hu is willing to give her a portion of his cultivation.

If she absorbed it, she could quickly advance to the late-stage Qi Refinement realm.

However, he realized that Liu Ruxue had ignored his comments and was looking at the door in surprise.

Liu Ruxue wasn't the only one. The others were also shocked and were looking in the same direction in surprise.

He turned around and saw Song Shi standing at the door unharmed.

His expression darkened, "You indeed have some ability. Although my punch is purely physical strength, it's not something a Postnatal expert can withstand."

Many people started to exclaim

"He's actually fine. Could it be the power of some special Dharma artifacts that we didn't notice?"

"Even if he's not dead, he's still just a sitting duck1 for Tong Hu."

Feng Yuxiao narrowed his eyes and sized up Song Shi. This person was really interesting.

Big Smart, who was outside the door, also understood that Song Shi had been beaten up. Fortunately, he looked fine.

Liu Ruxue walked lightly towards Song Shi with a concerned expression, "Are you alright?"

"It's fine. He just gave me a massage, that's all. I can still withstand three hundred more rounds of this if it is for you."

Song Shi chuckled and Tong Hu's face darkened visibly.

Tong Hu was about to say something when a yellow-robed man appeared like a ghost.

He was a gray-haired old man with a ruddy face and a masculine aura. He looked at Tong Hu coldly and said, "I'm Ao Bai, the outer sect deacon of the Yao Moon Palace. Do you still want to continue causing trouble now that I am here?"

"Yo, even the outer sect deacon is here. Looks like the Yao Moon Palace is also very interested in this place."

A hint of fear flashed across Tong Hu's eyes. This old man's cultivation level was much deeper than his. He was already at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, which was enough to intimidate him.

More importantly was the motive behind the Moon Palace's decision to send a warden to survey members of the lowest level of power that represented a certain attitude being displayed.

This attitude of the Yao Moon Place made him not dare to act recklessly.

"Greetings, Deacon Ao!"

Liu Ruxue and Mei Niang bowed politely.

"Well, you guys did well, especially you."

Ao Bai nodded at Liu Ruxue, "You've only been here for a month and you're already at the fifth level of Qi Refinement. A few elders are quite satisfied with you."

Liu Ruxue was secretly happy. Being chosen by an elder meant that she had a bright future ahead.

"Deacon Ao, it's been a few years since we last met. Your Spiritual Energy has become much richer. I think you have a chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm."

Feng Yuxiao walked over and cupped his fists.

"Brother Feng's Frost Jade Technique seems to have reached a high level as well. If you can reach the Foundation Establishment realm, there's a chance that you can condense an Ice Spirit Body, which is really rare."

Ao Bai returned the greeting.

If cultivation required Spiritual Roots to begin, then Foundation Establishment was to lay the foundation of the body and transform with Spiritual Qi or other methods to condense different physiques. From there, one could transcend mortals and enjoy a very long lifespan.

Physiques were divided into different levels. Spirit Bodies were considered top-notch existences amongst the various Physiques. They were much stronger than the other ordinary treasured physiques.

"It's difficult. I'm already satisfied that I can condense an ice physique!"

Feng Yuxiao said bitterly. How could a spirit body be so easy to condense?

Song Shi was dumbfounded. Dharma body? Spirit body?

To a newbie like him, it was a completely unfamiliar existence.

"Xue'er, I think we should go to bed and not disturb them from catching up with each other."

Song Shi whispered and pulled Liu Ruxue into the room.

For a moment, many envious and jealous gazes were cast in the hall.

Thinking that such a delicate and charming hand that was like a fairy from the nine heavens was about to be touched by this guy, they all felt very indignant in their hearts.

"Interesting."

...

Ao Bai looked at Song Shi's background. He knew the identity and background of this Furnace. To be able to be so calm in front of so many people, his temperament was not bad.

"Deacon Ao, I wonder where this Dao companion of your sect's disciple comes from?"

Tong Hu asked indignantly.

Deacon Ao smiled faintly, "No matter what his background is, he's considered a member of the Yao Moon Palace now. It's best if you don't act rashly."

"Hmph, I'll investigate it myself!"

Tong Hu turned around and returned to the table. He then instructed his subordinates to investigate Song Shi's background.

However, Feng Yuxiao could tell that something was amiss. He did not say much and walked over to the window with Ao Bai to continue chatting.

Song Shi pulled Liu Ruxue into the room. He hugged her soft body and whispered into her ear, "Xue'er, what do they mean by conjuring Dharma and Spirit body?"

"I knew you'd ask me that. I saw the intense curiosity spark in your eyes just now."

Liu Ruxue took out a thick ancient yellow book with a few huge words written on it.

The Encyclopedia of the Foundations of Cultivation!

...

"This was what Xue'er read when she was five years old. It contains all kinds of basic cultivation knowledge. Since it's useless now, I'll give it to you."

Liu Ruxue smiled, "The Dharma Body and Spirit Body are related to the Physique. They are also involved in the Foundation Establishment stage. This is the name and level of the physique that needs to be cultivated in order to reach the Foundation Establishment realm and ascend it in the future. Generally, they are divided into Treasure Body, Dharma Body, and Spirit Body. The better the Physique, the stronger the Foundation and the greater your potential will be."

"I see."

Song Shi was enlightened. His gaze landed on the manual, "I didn't expect this world to have such a thorough understanding of cultivation. They even have such a comprehensive guide of basic knowledge."

Song Shi hurriedly flipped open the catalog and searched according to his Physique. Soon, he was speechless.

"Spirit Root, Treasure Body, Dharma Body, Spirit Body, Divine Body, Saint Body… There are actually so many levels. Furthermore, there are Connate and Postnatal Physiques. Spirit Root is actually only a basic Connate Talent…"

Song Shi clicked his tongue in wonder. This book was an eye-opener for him.

49 This Kid Fooled Us

"Yeah."

Liu Ruxue smiled playfully, revealing her exquisite and neat silver teeth. She continued, "Spiritual roots are the foundation for all cultivators to progress in the great path of cultivation. With this foundation, they can develop and grow saplings like Treasure Bodies, Dharma Bodies,and Spirit Bodies."

Hearing such an analogy, Song Shi touched Liu Ruxue's flat and delicate abdomen, "I understand. So this here is the root and after spreading outwards, it will be the Physique."

"Hehe, you could say that."

Liu Ruxue smiled coquettishly because of the itch. She wrapped her arms around Song Shi's neck and said, "The essence of various Physiques is to constantly strengthen oneself. If the power of the Spirit Root transforms into the entire body, it will be a Spirit Body. It's just that most Foundation Establishment Cultivators can't reach this level."

"Then what Physique does Xue'er want to condense?"

Song Shi asked curiously.

Liu Ruxue leaned close to Song Shi's cheek and exhaled a fragrant breath. She said with an enchanted expression, "I'm very ambitious and want to condense a Spirit Body. Young Master, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course, I'll help you even at the cost of my life."

Song Shi chuckled. His life was the most worthless. He could just lose it whenever he wanted to.

However, he would not really do that. This woman's motive was not pure from the beginning. He could not give her any sincerity and let her suck him dry to death.

Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi in a daze. This man's eyes were clear and did not look like he was lying at all. She was momentarily dazed.

In the cultivation family that she had grown up in, which one of them was not selfish? Was this man really willing to sacrifice his life to help her?

"Why? Are you touched? Are you falling in love with me now?"

Song Shi laughed in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed Liu Ruxue, "You're a prostitute though. You can't fall in love."

"Pfft, when did I become a prostitute? Xue'er only came here to train in the mortal world. She has only experienced one man, which is you only."

Liu Ruxue rolled her eyes at Song Shi.

"Then I hope I'm your last man."

Song Shi pinched Liu Ruxue's face, "I still don't know what level your spiritual root is."

"It's a high-grade ice spiritual root. Otherwise, Xue'er wouldn't have much confidence in condensing a Spirit Body."

Liu Ruxue leaned against Song Shi's chest and said lazily.

"Why?"

Song Shi could tell that there was something complex.

"Spiritual roots determine the upper limit of one's Talent and also affect the quality of one's condensation of a Physique during Foundation Establishment. Often, Low-grade spiritual roots can only condense a treasure body, Medium-grade spiritual roots condense a Dharma Body whereas High-grade spiritual roots like mine have a high chance of condensing a Spirit Body!"

Liu Ruxue had a hint of pride in her gentleness.

High-grade Spiritual Roots and Ice Spiritual Roots were one in a hundred among Immortal Cultivators. They were the true geniuses!

"What about the best?"

Song Shi glanced at the level of the spiritual root. There was also a top-grade spiritual root above it.

"That will give a certain chance of cultivating a divine body!"

Liu Ruxue said matter-of-factly, "Such existences are one in a million. They are the core descendants of the major sects and clans."

"Alright!"

Song Shi was deep in thought as he flipped through the books. When he saw some new information, his gaze paused as he said in surprise, "Why does a Spirit Body have a Connate level? What does that mean?"

"They're the anomalies of existence, the select few with a birthright of exceptionalness. Their forebears are usually beacons of strength, making them a breed apart. But let's be real, these are not the kind of people you and I rub elbows with on a daily basis."

Liu Ruxue pursed her lips, "I heard that the Great Qian Imperial Family and the inner sanctum of Moonrise Palace have them, but they're all legends. I've never seen them before."

"Oh, so it's all about the ancestors"

Song Shi couldn't help but think of the words 'like father like son, like mother like daughter'.

"Not necessarily. This is related to bloodlines. Some of the less powerful families may also be able to awaken their Spirit Body or even Divine bodies."

At this point, Liu Ruxue twisted her body, "Don't ask anymore, okay? You've already touched me until I'm weak. Aren't you going to let me suck?"

"Then I shall cultivate and learn at the same time. You are my teacher for my beginner's journey to the path of cultivation."

Song Shi smirked and turned into a beast.

"Then I'll first check your cultivation achievements first from the past two days."

Liu Ruxue smiled charmingly and pulled down the veil beside the bed. Her clothes disappeared.

Song Shi felt a suction force appear from Liu Ruxue's body, and the Nine Yang True Energy in his body fluctuated.

Compared to the last time when Yang energy leaked out uncontrollably, this time, he realized that his strength was especially condensed and powerful. As long as he was unwilling, the other party could not absorb it at all.

Without revealing his background, he circulated his cultivation techniques and deliberately released a wisp of True Energy.

Soon, Liu Ruxue's face turned red. She opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "What a pure Yang power. Has your Yang Refinement Technique reached the Beginner stage so quickly?"

"It's not a big deal."

Song Shi pursed his lips. If he said that his current cultivation level had already surpassed hers, this woman would probably be shocked speechless.

…

"Haha, so he's a profligate son from a dilapidated family who happened to have a spiritual root and was chosen by Liu Ruxue. I thought he was a disciple of some cultivation family!"

In the lobby of the New Moon Brothel, Tong Hu, who had investigated Song Shi's background, laughed with disdain.

He did not lower his voice. Instead, he deliberately spoke loudly. Instantly, everyone present knew Song Shi's background.

"This kid actually scared us!"

"I thought he was from some sect or cultivation family!"

...

Many people's expressions turned ugly.

Tong Hu gulped down a bowl of wine and smashed it to pieces. "Damn it, the Song family that this pretty boy belongs to is about to be wiped out by a trashy evil cultivator. He still has the mood to sleep with the woman I've targeted."

His gaze suddenly landed on a man in black in the corner. "Tuoba Lin, as a member of the Sky Demon Cult, you should know quite a few people from there. Are you familiar with Hei Duzi?"

"I don't."

The latter's voice was sinister, "If you want to fight, go yourself. It has nothing to do with me."

"Hmph, at the thought of the woman I like and the pretty boy sleeping together, I'm not interested in sitting here anymore!"

Tong Hu slammed the table and shot a cold glance upstairs before turning to leave.

"Damn it, I've waited for two days, but I haven't even gotten a single kiss. Madam, give me a second-rate girl to vent my anger!"

Some stood up and left, while others switched to other girls to sleep with. Soon, there was no one in the hall.

Feng Yuxiao looked at the warden opposite him. "Deacon Ao, your disciple's Dao companion might be in danger."

"It's normal for men to fight over women. It's a good opportunity to train her abilities."

...

Ao Bai did not care. He knew that Song Shi was just a Furnace and had yet to become Liu Ruxue's true Dao companion.

To the disciples of the Moon Palace, this kind of jealousy was too common.

"These are all trivial matters. Competing for Silken City's territory and the Immortal Seedlings is the most important."

Feng Yuxiao said with a smile, "The various sects have been suffering for a long time. They don't allow us to casually accept disciples and preach the Dao. Even if we accept them, we have to register them. They say that they want to maintain peace in the world, but in fact, they want to protect their rule. In the end, it has only been two thousand years but yet it is still so chaotic now"

"Brother Feng, you're thinking too much. The Moon Palace only wants to ensure that the New Moon Brothel won't be destroyed in the chaos. We won't go against the laws of the Great Qian Empire on the surface."

Ao Bai chuckled. A starving camel was still bigger than a Horse1 The risk of fighting openly against the empire at this moment was not small.

"The Moon Palace has a huge business and is related to the imperial court, so there's naturally no rush. A small sect like ours can't do what you are doing."

Feng Yuxiao raised a cup of wine, "Let's not talk too much. I have to take a look around the city to see if there are any suitable seedlings for my Frost Jade Cave. I have to help the sect recruit a few more disciples so that I can protect myself during the chaos."

With that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared in the night with the blink of an eye.

50 Big Smart's Embarrassment

Song Shi studied the whole night and paid a lot of "tuition fees', to Liu Ruxue's satisfaction.

After putting on his clothes and leaving behind a satiated woman, Song Shi left with the thick book.

This time, he had gained a lot. Through this basic book, he had completely changed from a cultivation noob to a cultivation apprentice.

He had a preliminary understanding of the basic knowledge of cultivation, such as the division of cultivators' realms, the categories of cultivators, the differentiation of various external objects and the cultivation currency system.

The originally blurry cultivation world had opened its door to him, revealing things that were far more complicated and prosperous than he had imagined.

"This world is actually so diverse and vibrant. There are all kinds of people from all walks of life. All kinds of sects are pursuing immortality and moreover I'm already immortal."

Song Shi's eyes were deep and he smiled as he looked at the morning sun outside. His eyes sparkled as he let out a long breath.

He thought to himself: "Then I shall seek to not act my age as an immortal instead. After all, just because I'm not dead doesn't mean I'm not old. In this world where there are so many cultivators, to die of old age is the cruelest way to go"

"Young Master Song."

Mei Niang walked over with cat-like steps. She still had her charm and smiled sweetly, "It seems like Young Master's body is getting stronger and stronger. Even Miss Xue'er can't get out of bed."

Song Shi raised his head proudly. This was a pride that was unique to men.

"Young Master is indeed talented, but no matter how good he is in bed, he won't be of much help in a real battle."

Mei Niang was implying something.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Song Shi could hear the hidden meaning behind Mei Niang's words.

"Young Master, the Tong Hu you offended yesterday is very hostile to you. He will most likely attack you. If it's not necessary, it's best for the Young Master not to leave the New Moon Brothel in case your life is in danger."

Mei Niang reminded him seriously.

"My life is in danger!"

Song Shi became excited instead.

This was a good thing. He must go out now.

He pursed his lips, "This guy is really murderous. He still wants to kill me."

"Young Master, the cultivation world is not as peaceful as the secular world. There are also laws and rules to adhere to."

Mei Niang smiled bitterly. She felt that Song Shi did not know the cruelty of the cultivation world. She continued, "The cultivation world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. There are many people who would kill you just because they don't like you. There are even people who are killed because they were perceived as hostile when they glanced at others."

"Doesn't it mean that whoever has power decides the life and death of others?"

Song Shi mocked.

"That's right. Without protection, cultivators can die all too easily."

Mei Niang nodded, "That's why it's best for Young Master Song to stay here. Although the New Moon Brothel is only the outer sanctum of the Yao Moon Palace, with the warden here, it's enough to intimidate some people."

"I'm just going home. With the people from the Demon Slayers Division around, I don't believe he still dares to attack."

Song Shi did not care. In fact, he could not wait for that guy to make a move.

"Um…"

Mei Niang was a little speechless. After saying so much, why were you so stubborn?

Wasn't it better to stay here obediently and sleep with Liu Ruxue?

"If you get protection and Liu Ruxue absorbs power, no one will lose out. It's a win-win situation."

She made her final persuasion, "There's still some distance between the New Moon Brothel and Young Master Song's house…"

"There's no need to persuade me. How can a man like me hide like a turtle?"

Song Shi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Besides, I already took a punch from him. The big guy's strength is only so-so. I can't win, but it's not a problem for me to survive his attacks."

Mei Niang was speechless, "Young Master, he didn't use his full strength back then. He didn't even use his Dharma artifacts."

"Me neither."

Song Shi shrugged, "Arrange something for me to eat. I'll leave after I'm full!"

"Well… Alright."

Mei Niang nodded helplessly and walked over to instruct the servants to prepare breakfast for Song Shi.

Song Shi shouted outside, "Big Smart, come and eat!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing that they were going to eat, Big Smart immediately ran in.

When Mei Niang saw Big Smart and sensed his aura, she was shocked. "Young Master Song, your guard has reached the Connate realm!"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Song Shi strode towards the dining room.

"Your guard is already in his thirties and his Vitality is about to go downhill. It's quite rare to break through at this juncture."

Mei Niang praised. Combat cultivation was much more difficult than immortal cultivation. It relied more on one's own hard work than Talent.

She roughly understood where Song Shi's confidence came from.

Ads by Pubfuture

With a Connate guard, it was indeed much safer.

"Big Smart, Mei Niang is praising you. Why aren't you seizing the opportunity?"

Song Shi smiled evilly at Big Smart as he turned around to enter the other room to eat.

Big Smart saw the voluptuous and charming Mei Niang sizing up him with her eyes. Her face was slightly red, and her posture was bashful, like a shy little girl.

...

He said embarrassedly, "Mei Niang, you flatter me. I relied on the Young Master's kindness and teaching."

"Guard Liu is really humble. This Martial Dao Connate threshold is not simple. Once you cross it, it's equivalent to stepping onto the Immortal Path as a mortal. Not only can you live for three decades, but your combat strength is even stronger than us cultivators."

Mei Niang twisted her body and walked over. She pulled Big Smart and said, "Come, Mei Niang has to toast Guard Liu a few cups of wine to congratulate you on reaching the Connate realm."

Being hugged by a pair of soft, Big Smart, who had almost never touched a woman, felt his heart beat increasingly faster. His face turned red and his body tensed.

This made Mei Niang giggle charmingly, while thinking that this man was quite interesting.

Song Shi, who was eating and drinking, could not help but laugh when he saw Big Smart's embarrassment. "Hahaha, Big Smart, it's time for you to have a taste of a woman. This Mei Niang is not a bad choice."

From his senses, Mei Niang was probably at the sixth level of Qi Refinement. She could be considered a hidden expert. Before this, he was not strong enough and did not notice her hidden powers.

"I'm just afraid that Bodyguard Liu will look down on this withered flower."

Mei Niang looked at Big Smart meaningfully. Actually she too desired Big Smart.

As far as she knew, this man's cultivation technique was special. In addition, he had maintained his Pure Yang Body for more than 30 years.

Now that she had broken through to the Connate realm, the Connate Pure Yang Qi in her body was definitely pure. If he gave her some, it would definitely help her break through the bottleneck and step into the late-stage Qi Refinement realm!

...

"No… No, why would I despise you? As long as you don't mind me for being so burly"

As he stuttered apprehensively, Big Smart was so nervous that his bones felt weak.

"Yes, I like you very much." Mei Niang exhaled cloyingly at Big Smart, making his breath quicken.

Fortunately, Big Smart had good self-control. When he saw the food, his appetite overcame his lust. He hurriedly broke free from Mei Niang and coughed, "Where are you going later, Young Master?"

"Of course I'll be going back home. I can't stay in this place forever."

Song Shi took a bite of the meat and frowned, "Why does this meat feel so bland and tasteless?"

"I don't think so. This is the finest class of beef."

Mei Niang tasted it, "It's still the same taste as before. Young Master, are you so tired that your taste buds are affected?"

"I also feel that this meat was not as tasty as before. It should be because we are stronger. Ordinary sustenance is less effective on our bodies."

Big Smart explained the reason.
