SCW Chapter 29 - Troublesome ah Troublesome
"The person that you are talking about freely coming here, say, is it me?" Yue Qianchou's two eyes narrowed as he stared at the opposite party, the gaze flashed a hint of full observation, the calm words fluttered with a trace of chill in the air.
In the past life, although Yue Qianchou was a person of an organized crime, he was also one of the overlords of the underworld. The superior imposing manner was unknowingly released out, despising all the living beings he deemed without worth. Although all the surrounding people have lived for a long time, they depended on the prominent family figures to get what they achieved today, they were overshadowed by Yue Qianchou's decisive momentum.
The Second Brother was slightly surprised. He was also a man who had once fought in the battlefield. What kind of person was the friend of his third brother before him? Looking at the imposing manner, It's impossible that an ordinary man could unleash such a momentum which seemed to make people feel the faint smell of blood. This kind of momentum seemed to be the same he frequently felt from his father, the master of the mansion.
Others also felt that kind of familiar momentum, suddenly swallowed their saliva and became speechless. The arrogant civil servant was also shocked by Yue Qianchou. The beautiful woman with tears on her face also stopped crying and stared at him with surprise.
This was also the first time Shi Xiaotian saw Yue Qianchou like this. It seemed that his eldest brother had really annoyed his boss, he shook his head slightly. A bit afraid, Shi Xiaotian walked toward his boss as he smiled. He turned and said to people in the surrounding, "Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother! This is my martial uncle and my gracious benefactor. If not for Martial Uncle, Xiaotian was afraid he would never see mother and brothers again..." He introduced his boss as his martial uncle. The purpose was obvious, he naturally feared that his family would look down on his boss and cause trouble. Then he introduced the three people back to Yue Qianchou.
This person is actually Xiaotian's Martial Uncle... So he is also a cultivator? Several people were amazed at how young Yue Qianchou was and at the same time they were also felt uneasy. It had to be known that in Huaxia Empire, even emperor would show courtesy toward immortals, but they just ignored the very person they deemed important, the Eldest Brother's act was even worse.
The Second Brother immediately saluted with his hands, "The younger generation, Shi Yiantian greets senior immortal." Yue Qianchou nodded indifferently.
The eldest brother looked a bit scared as he was saluting, "The younger generation, Shi Youtian greets senior immortal. I didn't know the immortal's identity and I have sinned for offending the immortal. Please forgive my ignorance." Yue Qianchou gave him a cold glance, the former's complexion suddenly turned pale.
The beautiful woman saw the embarrassment of her eldest son, she also saluted toward the opposite party, "This humble woman, Li Hongniang greets the immortal. My husband is currently out and my eldest son lacks of discipline, please forgive him."
Yue Qianchou really didn't intend to let go of the Eldest Brother, he had eaten so many ridicule words in the Green Light Sect, however, he had no power to retaliate so he had to bow down. How could he ever thought, that today even a mortal dared to ridicule him, it stimulated the frustration that was suppressed for a long time. But what this woman said? Her husband wasn't here, she most likely afraid her son would get bullied. In addition, Shi Xiaotian looked at him with pleading eyes, Yue Qianchou decided to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Lady doesn't have to be so courteous..." Said Yue Qianchou subtly, it meant that he would no longer pursue the matter.
Li Hongniang and her three sons quickly thanked Yue Qianchou and immediately ordered the servants to prepare food and drink to serve the immortal. Yue Qianchou politely refused, there was really no benefit to eat and drink together with them.
In fact, the main reason why he decided not to pursue the matter was that his cultivation wasn't really good, only Qi Condensation level five, even Shi Xiaotian had already reached Qi Condensation level seven, although he had been watching Shi Xiaotian for a long time and concluded that he was trustworthy, but in case of fighting, he didn't know which side Shi Xiaotian would choose. Anyway, it's not good to let him hit his own brothers.
There was also the problem of his cultivation if he revealed his lower cultivation stage to Shi Xiaotian, would the kid still consider him as a boss? That's hard to say. He remembered the words Brother Li once said, 'Losing the support of the people, the team will be hard to lead.'[1]
Yue Qianchou finally realized the importance to cultivate, he pulled Shi Xiaotian aside and asked him to arrange a secluded place for cultivation. The latter immediately relayed the words of the Boss to his mother, the entire mansion became busy.
The General Government Mansion had a large backyard garden, and a small courtyard on the most remote corner was soon cleared. The mansion issued a ban, no one was allowed to enter the courtyard.
"Xiaotian, if your family going to ask about your experience, you should carefully think about what and what not to tell them, it's not good for them to know too much. Also, while we're here, it's best not to let any outsiders know, otherwise there would be a day where Green Light Sect discover us, it would be a big problem!" Said Yue Qianchou. The area reserved for him was so remote and quiet, he was satisfied.
"I know!" Replied Shi Xiaotian with a nod.
......
A year had finally passed and the backyard garden of the General Government Mansion became a mysterious place. In addition to the Third Young Master Shi Xiaotian who went in and out every day, the others never saw the immortal inside. As for the courtyard where there was immortal, the Mansion had given a severe restriction, and the people who had seen him on that first day never mentioned it. Other people naturally wasn't aware of it, everyone who passed through the backyard garden would secretly glanced at the small courtyard with similar thoughts on their minds. The legendary immortal lives there!
For having an immortal living at their home, the key figures of the mansion were happy about it. They always felt that they have a backer and felt reassured. The most important thing was that the immortal really lived up to his demeanor, as long as good food and drink were delivered every day, the immortal never went out of the courtyard, let alone disturb them.
However, one person was feeling depressed, that was the Eldest Young Master. Once, in order to show off to the man who was going to accept him as a disciple, he mentioned that his family was hiding an immortal. As a result, the immortal no longer wanted to accept him as a disciple and even disappeared.
This made him in sorrow, his good root bones would be a waste. The temptation to live forever was not something that many people could resist. So the Eldest Young Master had an idea to plead Yue Qianchou to be his master. Several times, he begged his third brother to refer him to Yue Qianchou, but the Third Brother didn't agree at all and even said, "Eldest Brother! I really don't see that you have a good root bones, you must have been cheated!"
With the obsession of live and death, the Eldest Young Master didn't believe his third brother and thought that because he had offended the Martial Uncle, the Third Brother didn't want to recommend him. The Eldest Young Master was in turmoil, he finally decided to break into the courtyard and plead Yue Qianchou to take him as a disciple. As soon as he stepped into the courtyards, he immediately felt trapped in a fog, he couldn't find his way around and couldn't even see any person.
This was Yue Qianchou's preparation in case someone tried to break in, he asked the White Fox to teach him a simple formation to arrange on the courtyard. Although it wasn't really powerful, but wouldn't be a problem to trap a mortal, he never thought that the one who would get trapped was this guy. When Shi Xiaotian discovered the case, he made a bittersweet smile. He could bring out his eldest brother by himself, but it was not good to do so. Shi Xiaotian decided to ask Yue Qianchou to release him. After understanding why Shi Youtian was trapped, Yue Qianchou shook his head and refused Shi Xiaotian. The Boss said that the guy would be better there for a few days and promised not to let his brother suffer a bit, otherwise, his boss was afraid that the guy would never stopped his act. Shi Xiaotian agreed to the thought.
However, two days later, Li Hongniang was anxious, she was unable to find her eldest son anywhere, the entire mansion was deployed to search for him. In the end, Shi Xiaotian finally told his family that his eldest brother had trespassed the courtyard and currently trapped within. Li Hongniang and Shi Yiantian were greatly taken aback, they rushed toward the backyard garden. The two stood in front of the courtyard and didn't dare to go in, they saw Shi Youtian was walking aimlessly on the small courtyard as if a headless chicken. It was apparent that he hadn't eaten anything for the past two days, his body was very weak.
The mother and son immediately pleaded Yue Qianchou at the entrance of the courtyard. The latter thought that after all they have provided him with care, and the guy didn't seem to be able to endure much longer. In the end, Shi Youtian was released, Yue Qianchou warned the guy not to disturb him again.
This was a trifling matter, but when the mother and son saw Yue Qianchou's generosity, they became even more respecting him. Shi Youtian tasted the bitter result, he was heartbroken, but also didn't dare to do it again.
Relying on a large quantity of spirit stones inside the golden bead, Yue Qianchou successfully broke through to Qi Condensation level 10 within this period of one year, while Shi Xiaotian arrived earlier than him. After Qi Condensation reaching it's peak, the next step was the Foundation Establishment. Yue Qianchou asked the White Fox and found that a serious problem laid before his eyes.
The Foundation Establishment stage, Core Formation stage, Nascent Soul stage, and Tribulation Crossing stage were the four barriers that's difficult to overcome. There was no way to breakthrough without the external force. The so-called external force referred to the washing of the marrow with miraculous medicine. Why should one wash the marrow? The body of a cultivator was like a container. If the container wasn't strong enough, the said cultivator would naturally hit the limit of the strength. On the other hand, forcing a breakthrough would only lead to one end, death!
Yue Qianchou asked the White Fox again, she was trapped in a cave for many years and didn't take any medicine, how could she broke through from the Nascent Soul to the Tribulation Crossing? If she was relying on the golden bead's magical function, then couldn't he also do the same? The White Fox told Yue Qianchou that this was not the same thing at all.
Cultivators were divided to humans, demons, and ghosts. The white fox was a demon and she was different from the other two. Demons cultivated their own bodies. If their bodies weren't developed enough, it would be difficult to cultivate. Demons were the most difficult one from the three kinds, but was also equivalent to the potential of their strength, compared to the other two, they were the strongest.
Ghosts were the easiest in their cultivation, they didn't cultivate spiritual Qi, but Yin energy. as long as there was enough Yin energy, they could grow without any restriction. However, the power was limited by the laws of heaven and earth. They were the weakest of the three.
Although humanity were divided into two kinds of path, the right path and the devil path, but it was divided by humans themselves, in fact, the only major differences were from the technique of the cultivation. Humans have the best wisdom of the three, however, they wouldn't be able to ascend the heavens like demons who cultivated their bodies. The heaven and earth had given humanity the best advantage, but also the weakest body. Therefore, humanity's biggest struggle in their cultivation was to breakthrough the limitation of their bodies.
In short, the White Fox told him that the golden bead was very strange, but since it existed between heaven and earth, it must also follow the laws of heaven and earth. Some thing couldn't be changed indiscriminately, so even it had helped a demon like her, didn't mean it would help the others in the same way.
The White Fox added that although she had never actively used the golden bead in her body, she could feel the changes of her body and her cultivation day after day. Yue Qianchou became crestfallen, he told her that besides being physically better, he didn't feel anything else. The White Fox heaved a sigh, the cycle of heaven and earth, this precious object must have other hidden functions they haven't figured out yet.
In the end, Yue Qianchou still needed to get a foundation Establishment pill to breakthrough. He asked the White Fox about it, unfortunately she never eaten any, so she couldn't figure out how to get it. Only knew that the large sects should have a prescription for refining the pills. It wasn't a secret that the alchemy was very hard to find.
Yue Qianchou was depressed. His relation with the Green Light Sect was cut off, there's no way he could come back, that's just courting death!
Not only Yue Qianchou, but Shi Xiaotian had also became depressed. He finally knew that his boss still hadn't reached Foundation Establishment stage yet. He had been absorbing the spirit stones from Yue Qianchou to reach the bottleneck and didn't dare to continue again. Why? Because the true qi in the body had reached the limit of Qi Condensation stage. Who dared to play with their own life?
On the courtyard, the two looked at the abundant spirit stones and heaved a sigh. What's so good about something they couldn't even use? It had become a headache on where should they get the Foundation Establishment pills. Suddenly, Yue Qianchou exclaimed, "There it is!"
Shi Xiaotian's body shuddered and his eyes widened, "Boss! Do you have a solution?" Yue Qianchou smiled, "Doesn't your eldest brother know some shit? Go and call your eldest brother. I have something to ask him."
