Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Didn’t Mean to Peek

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Who knows how long it was before Zong Shou awoke from his sleep in a daze.

The first thing he felt was his right wrist hurting. Raising it in front of him, it had already stopped bleeding, but that light red mark was really astonishing.

Zong Shou sighed to himself. He was so used to bloodletting now. If it wasn’t that he had some success in training his marrow and his vital energy was strong, he would probably suffer from weakness of the blood.

The talisman inks that spirit masters used were most effective when they used their own blood essence, but it wasn’t that there was nothing that could be used to replace it. There were at least ten other substances that were much more effective. Unfortunately, he had none of them beside him.

Looking at the window, he didn’t need to guess, realizing that this was noon of the next day.

In a moment, he was startled. “This spiritual energy movement is a little weird. There seems to be someone cultivating or using spiritual formations. This place seems to be next door?”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed. Living beside him was Xuanyuan Yiren, who forcibly moved in, not bothering if he agreed or not, just throwing all her items inside.

For the last few days she wasn’t in, and he nearly forgot about the matter.

“Who knows what this girl is training in. Was it the Dark Fire Moon art or the Yin Moon Fire Energy method? It is so weird! I heard that Pill Fountain sect has a secret technique, the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method. Using it to refine pills would let one succeed seven times out of ten, but it was proven to have flaws and no one trained in it anymore…”

Zong Shou shook his head, directly walking out of his room. Just as he was about to step out, his eyes looked through a hole in the wall.

This was the hole that was pierced a few days ago using the Lightning Tooth Sword. Although he ordered people to clear it up, they still hadn’t filled in the hole.

His heart struggled, after hesitating for long he couldn’t suppress the curiosity in his heart, walking in front of the hole in the wall. Muttering to himself for Xuanyuan Yiren not to be angry, Zong Shou is just worried and not peeking at her.

The strength of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method was great, but it had a huge weakness in the later stages, and several of the most talented Pill Fountain Sect disciples fell because of it. Before they were able to reach the Celestial level they fell, directly resulting in the Pill Fountain Sect weakening, dropping from seventh out of the nineteen spirit houses to fourteenth.

He wouldn’t care if he hadn’t seen it, and if this Xuanyuan Yiren had broken the engagement with him, he wouldn’t have bothered.

However, since she had found her way here, he couldn’t sit still and not do anything. Although there was something wrong with her brain, saying that she was righteous and not backing out of the marriage, in his heart he was really impressed by her.

In this bloody and gory era, even after that God Emperor had established rules and law, there weren’t many righteous and honest people. It was even rarer for a girl.

Moving his eye close to that hole, he saw was a ball of spiritual light shining.

Near the wooden bed was a red and green pill floated in the air. It was this item which was absorbing large amounts of spiritual energy, and the source of the weird flow in the area.

“So it is the External Pill. I was wondering how this girl broke through to the Xiantian Realm at sixteen! She has even reached the third meridian of the Earth Chakra stage, stronger than that Zhao Yanran. How could this world have such a talent…”

Zong Shou shook his head silently, but he could see that her talent was indeed good, she was only half a step away from the Ancestor Realm.

When he looked at her in the past, he felt an intense Yang energy from her, her foundations were obviously really strong.

She wouldn’t need a long time, nor the help of the External Pill. The pill could also become one of the Spiritual Artifacts she brought around.

Looking closely at the pill, at the rate it was ‘breathing’, as well as the spiritual patterns that occasionally flared, Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“So it really is the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method. Was this girl one of the talents of the sect that fell? Her technique has achieved small success, what a bother!”

Sighing, Zong Shou looked towards the ground at the person sitting cross-legged, and then he froze up like a statue.

A flowery teen that was only sixteen years of age was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Her body was already mature, her skin was white as snow, nicer and smoother than exquisite porcelain. A pair of snow rabbits were round and perky in front of her chest, her waist slender. If one looked down, one would be able to see that deep trench. Her body was many times better than what he saw a few days ago.

Zong Shou could only feel his mouth going dry, the blood in his body boiling as he wondered to himself about why she didn’t wear clothes when she cultivated.

He thought back to Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method, that when one trained the surrounding fire would be really strong and would ignite everything. All clothes would be burned.

Xuanyuan Yiren sensed something, opening her eyes and looking over.

She was startled when she noticed that Zong Shou was peeking at her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment and rage, her face flushing red, but she was unable to speak. Her eyes avoided him as she was unable to look over.

Zong Shou’s heart beat rapidly, and after keeping silent for a while, he backed off several steps. Without turning his head, he ran out of the door to a courtyard by the side, and only then was he able to calm down.

“Sigh, Tanqiu’s heroic name has been unexpectedly ruined today…” Who knew how Xuanyuan Yiren would react after this matter.

The key was that the hole in the wall was too coincidental. If it was any other girl, they would think that he purposely opened it up to peek at her.

Did he have to explain to her that he was worried that the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method was dangerous, which was why he wanted to take a look?

She might not even believe him and just the fact about how he knew about it was difficult for him to explain.

If she would just grab him and beat him up that would be good. What he was afraid was that since this woman placed so much emphasis on her values, she was also really conservative.

“I have been through so many things in the past, why am I feeling so guilty about this underage girl? I just saw her body and didn’t even do anything! If we rescind the marriage, who would have the fortune to marry her? Such a great girl is so rare…”

Thinking about that, the uncomfortable feeling in his chest was forcibly suppressed.

“I have to find a way to explain it to her! Why not apologize to her on the spot… but if I could act like nothing happened, isn’t that the best?”

Thinking about it for a while, he had no idea what to do. Zong Shou decided to train his sword in the front courtyard, his Lightning Tooth Sword still using those basic sword techniques, only adding in many more movements.

After a great increase in strength, his body was more relaxed and speed much quicker, and as such his sword art naturally changed too.

The greatest difference would be that he had the Black Wave Sword beside him, moving with his nimble body, flying and circling around him.

To be able to use your will to control the sword was one matter. Using the spiritual sword technique to perfectly coordinate with your sword was another!

The reason why double cultivators were stronger than people of the same Grade was because they were able to combine martial and spiritual cultivation!

Pretty much every thrust that stabbed out would give off a lightning glow along with a watery mist mirage, like it had turned into several more swords, looking indiscernible and uncertain.

This wasn’t a spiritual method and wasn’t purely caused by his will. When martial cultivators reached the Mythic Master Realm, their true qi was strong and they had their own body specialties. They were able to use some special methods to change spiritual energy, like how Yin Yang could control fire, and how when Zhao Yanran could freeze hundreds of feet around her when she wanted to.

Although Zong Shou was cultivating the most basic energy cultivation technique, because his body had the Sky Fox and Lightning Phoenix natures, he was able to use lightning and illusions. He didn’t even need to control them himself.

“I need to select a energy cultivating art first, not only to prepare to charge to the Xiantian Realm, but because when I use strength it really is too difficult to control…”

Zong Shou could only delay it due to his Dual Meridian Body, even though he had a martial technique library in his head.

At this moment, each sword stab would damage the Lightning Tooth Sword. Getting control of the spiral power was far more difficult than he had expected, far exceeding the control required of basic energy controlling techniques.

The only path he could walk now would be to create one!

If he only had the spiral meridians in his body, it wouldn’t be much of a problem. But the problem was that he had to consider the Sky Fox illusion art along with his lightning-controlling ability, and also his mysterious and unawakened human blood. He also needed to leave some room for changes which greatly tested his martial arts abilities.

——

Even a cultivation method meant to be used before the Xiantian stage couldn’t be completed in a short time.

After three days of inactivity, his body was slowly warming up, the vital energy flowing into his limbs and bones, his heart devoid of any random thoughts. Although the Lightning Tooth Sword was ringing out, he felt really comfortable.

He didn’t stick to those basic sword techniques, some of the exquisite ones he trained in his last life were unknowingly used. Sword energy swept this flat ground, numerous leaves were cut down, some of the branches were chopped into pieces before they fell to the ground.

When he stabbed out with the last sword, Zong Shou’s body totally straightened out. It was like he didn’t belong in this world, the sword in his hand stabbed out from nothingness, bringing with it a deathly intent. It felt like there were many dark and cold rivers flowing around him.

His eyes were without any emotion. He woke up, only to see that in front of his eyes, the pine tree a hundred feet away was totally withered, the fallen leaves below it had turned yellow in an instant.

Just as he laughed bitterly to himself, Zong Shou noticed something and turned to his right.

He saw Yin Yang taking in a cold breath, shocked as he muttered to himself, “Sword energy, sword intent, using the soul to drive the sword. Did I see wrongly? Am I, Yin Yang, in a dream?”
