Chapter 36: Take In A Disciple

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘This level of poisonous gas also wants to erode me? Hmph! I am the only one in heaven and earth, the One Qi of Destiny!’ As Yunxiao shouted in his heart, a golden light burst out of his dantian and rushed into his seven chakras. All of a sudden, seven glows of different colors broke out from the top of his head to his feet, and were quickly connected into a line by the golden light. The black poisonous gas all over him began to shrink rapidly, and his skin color was gradually returning to normal.

Meng Wu stopped crying as she stared blankly at the changes in Yunxiao and the improving complexion of her brother. Soon, her heart began to fill with joy.

The black poisonous gas was compressed into a mass by Yunxiao and put in his Qi Sea, its amount ever increasing. But, the Primordial Qi in his dantian was rotating like a nebula, slowly absorbing these poisonous gases and converting them into the purest energy to fill his Qi Sea.

“This is indeed innate energy! Tsk, tsk…I’m blessed!” Yunxiao’s heart was filled with ecstasy as he started absorbing even more crazily.

The cultivation of warriors involved the absorption of Primordial Qi of heaven and earth for their own use, to fill their Qi Sea and improve their energy level. In addition to absorbing Primordial Qi directly from heaven and earth, most warriors would cultivate their Qi Sea by absorbing Primordial Qi from Primordial Stones. After all, Primordial Stones were a kind of ore that stored a lot of Primordial Qi, and its effect was must better than absorbing directly from the heaven and earth.

However, with the continuous improvement of warriors’ levels, their requirements for Primordial Stones would also get higher. At the later stages, even supreme-grade Primordial Stones could only improve the energy to a limited extent. Therefore, high-level warriors had to spend a lot of supreme-grade Primordial Stones every time they cultivated. This was when the role of alchemists became apparent, because they could refine various advanced materials into pills containing huge amounts of energy, the effect of which was great after the warriors consumed them. It was also why senior alchemists were extremely distinguished.

Refining pills was to rearrange the energy contained in various materials with the soul power into a form that could be easily absorbed by warriors. In this process, a legendary alchemist accidentally discovered a way to absorb Primordial Qi directly from materials with soul power, and after in-depth research, he finally invented a soul skill called One Qi of Destiny.

The invention of this soul skill had greatly made up for the deficiency of alchemists in the cultivation of their martial arts. It could greatly strengthen the cultivation of their martial arts in a short time, thus complementing their alchemy attainment and enabling them to advance to a higher level. And, when compared to using supreme-grade Primordial Stones, the cultivation speed was dozens of times faster when an alchemist directly absorbed Primordial Qi from ninth-grade materials!

But, people soon discovered the flaws in this soul skill. Because it merely used advanced materials as higher-grade Primordial Stones, and only a small part of the energy in the materials could be sucked out, it caused a lot of waste. The materials that could surpass the energy contained in supreme-grade Primordial Stones were at least fifth-grade or above. Furthermore, taking the loss into account, alchemists needed materials of eighth-grade or above to waste, only then would it be better than absorbing directly from supreme-grade Primordial Stones.

However, the energy contained in eighth-grade pills refined from eighth-grade materials was hundreds of times more than what was directly absorbed from the raw materials!

In the beginning, many rich alchemists did not hesitate to waste materials in pursuit of speed. But as they advanced, they found it more and more difficult to support the huge consumption. In the end, many people knew this soul skill, but few cultivated it, because no one had the financial resources to waste like this.

The One Qi of Destiny could only absorb innate power produced by heaven and earth. As Meng Bai’s constitution was the Heaven Earth Venomous Body, the poison inside him was also a kind of innate power. Therefore, it was directly sucked out by Yunxiao and digested as tonic. However, with his current cultivation base, he could not completely relieve the toxicity, so he used a secret method to condense the toxicity, wrap it with Primordial Qi, and hide it inside his dantian. When his strength improved in the future, he could easily eliminate it.

As the toxicity gradually decreased, Meng Bai’s complexion completely recovered. Slowly, he opened his eyes and mumbled, “Ugh, where am I?”

“Meng Bai! Meng Bai! Are you alright?” Meng Wu was so happy that she wept tears of joy. Putting her arm around Meng Bai’s neck, she said, “You’ve finally recovered!”

“Sis?” Meng Bai recognized Meng Wu and saw Yunxiao at the same time. “Who is this?” he asked with surprise.

Meng Wu wiped her tears and said, “This is my classmate, Li Yunxiao. You can just call him Young Master Yun. It was he who saved your life. Thank him quickly!”

“Thank you for saving me, Young Master Yun!” Meng Bai knew his own condition, but he was now unprecedentedly relaxed and comfortable, and all his symptoms had been completely cured. Realizing this, he hurriedly rose to his feet and expressed his gratitude.

“En.” Yunxiao put all the poison into his dantian, then slowly opened his eyes and said, “Why do you have so little poison in your body? It isn’t enough for me. Fancy that you have the Heaven Earth Venomous Body. You need to produce more poison in the future.”

After sucking all of the poison in Meng Bai’s body, Yunxiao felt that his dantian was full as if he had just absorbed hundreds of Primordial Stones. The effect was much better than his usual cultivation, so he obviously wanted more. He clicked his tongue and said, “When I get back, I will refine you some pills that can stimulate your toxicity. As long as you consume them regularly, the poison inside your body will become stronger and stronger.”

Meng Wu, “…”

Meng Bai laughed and said, “Haha! Sis, this Young Master Yun really can joke.”

Yunxiao’s face darkened as he said coldly, “I never joke. Boy, it is your blessing to meet me. Well, if you kowtow to me three times, I will accept you as my disciple.”

Meng Bai froze for a moment, then burst into laughter when he saw Yunxiao talk like an old man. “Haha! You want to accept me as your disciple? Young Master Yun, how old are you? I think you are about the same age as my sister, which makes you one year older than me. And yet, you want to accept me as your disciple? If I want to have a master, I will find a Martial Master who can at least become a State Guardian!”

The Guardians of the State was the strongest armed organization in Tianshui. In the world that advocated martial arts, it was undoubtedly the most sacred and legendary place in the minds of all the young people.

Yunxiao felt angry and sad at the same time. ‘I am no match for a Martial Master…!’ In his previous life, the existences of Martial Master level were not even worthy of licking the soles of his shoes, and he could kill tens of thousands of them with one strike. But now…

Seeing a flash of displeasure on Yunxiao’s face, Meng Wu hastily knocked Meng Bai on the head and cried out, “Young Master Yun is young, but he is a genius in martial arts and alchemy! You are lucky to be able to acknowledge him as your master! Hurry up, kowtow to him and acknowledge him as your master!”

She knew Yunxiao’s strength, and it was enough to be Meng Bai’s master. Besides, the poison in Meng Bai’s body was not completely gone, and she was counting on the former to save him.

Meng Bai said hastily, “Sis, I’m your brother! You can’t set me up!”

As she saw Yunxiao’s face getting unsightly, Meng Wu was so anxious that she hit Meng Bai hard on the head again. “How could you say that? I’ve worked so hard just for you! You…you really piss me off!” In desperation, her tears began to fall again.

As soon as Meng Bai saw her crying, he panicked and said, “Sis, don’t cry! I was wrong! I’ll acknowledge him as master now!”

He hurried down from the bed, then walked in front of Yunxiao and knelt to kowtow three times seriously, “Please accept my kowtows, Master!”

Yunxiao nodded and said, “I know you are unconvinced now, but it doesn’t matter. I’m very poor now, so I don’t have a gift for you. But, I will teach you a set of supreme body tempering techniques, called the Tyrant Body Tempering Technique, which happens to match your body constitution. Your future achievements will be limitless.”

Meng Bai felt extremely strange when he saw Yunxiao talk like an old man, but he said honestly, “Thank you, Master! However, warriors are all practicing martial arts. You’d better teach me a set of powerful martial techniques. I want to learn Tiger Knuckle Fist…I wonder if you know it?”

Yunxiao almost coughed up a mouthful of warm blood while he felt his head reeling. The peerless body tempering technique of Ao Changkong, the Tyrant Martial Sovereign who ranked number one on the Heaven and Earth Power Chart, was not as good as a set of Tiger Knuckle Fist in this boy’s eyes?

“You will learn whatever your Master tells you to learn! Don’t be so choosy!” Meng Wu gave him a good kick. She had seen Yunxiao use the Floating Life Seal, and she was envious of it. She thought that if her brother wanted to learn something, it must be the Floating Life Seal. It was better for him to agree to learn this body tempering method first, so that when Young Master Yun was satisfied with his performance, he would teach him the Floating Life Seal later.

Yunxiao choked back the mouthful of blood and said coldly, “I don’t know anything about Tiger Knuckle Fist! You must practice this Tyrant Body Tempering Technique, whether you want it or not! There are altogether eighteen styles in this technique, and I’ll teach you the first three styles now! After you have mastered them, you will be able to suppress the toxicity inside your body.”

Meng Bai was overjoyed as soon as he heard that he would be able to suppress the toxicity in his body once he had mastered the first three styles. Thinking that, he quickly learned it by heart.

Yunxiao did not avert suspicion and let Meng Wu watch from the side. The brother and sister thought the postures were too abnormal and funny. But, because Yunxiao was here, they did not dare to laugh, and had to remember them carefully.

“That’s all! Although there are only three styles, you have to practice hard day and night. Do not dishonor my name! As for martial techniques, when you make the breakthrough and become a warrior of the Origin realm, I will choose one that suits your body constitution to teach you.”

“Really?” Meng Bai’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard the word ‘martial techniques’. “Master, what martial techniques do you know? You can’t teach me one that is inferior to the Tiger Knuckle Fist!”

Meng Wu’s face was also full of anticipation, knowing that Yunxiao knew a lot of martial techniques.

Yunxiao’s face turned blue completely. He was knowledgeable, and he really could not think of any martial technique that was inferior to the Tiger Knuckle Fist, which was merely an entry-level martial technique. Basically, anyone could master this technique, and it was also the most basic martial technique…

No one had ever taught Meng Bai, and he had only heard the name of Tiger Knuckle Fist. He felt envious whenever he saw someone using it. Although Meng Wu was studying at Jialan Academy, she had not yet become a real warrior. Hence, the academy would not teach any martial techniques to her.

Yunxiao sighed, “Don’t worry, I naturally know what to teach you. What you need to do now is continuously strengthen your body and improve the innate toxicity inside you as much as possible. This is the way you should go.” He glanced at some stones piled up in the corner of the room and said with surprise, “Are these raw ores of Primordial Stones?”

“Yes,” Meng Bai replied. “I used to follow Uncle Shi and others to mine the ores, but then I stopped because the toxicity in me exploded. These raw ores were piled up here a long time ago. Their quality is not very good, so they can’t be sold for a good price.”
