King of Creation-Chapter 43 - The Son Wishes to Support, but the Parent Passes Away

“In addition, there is a thousand taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver here; when the time comes, you can secretly contact the Meng Family’s butler and purchase some lands for them.”

The more Liao Feibai instructed, the stranger and more generous her gestures became.

However, seeing Liao Feibai’s firm demeanor, Ye Zhen had no option but to listen.

“Have you got all that clear?” After giving his orders, Liao Feibai asked.

“I understand, but Instructor Liao, Yinshan County is so large, there could be dozens or even hundreds of families with the surname Meng.

How am I to find this Madam Meng?

You must at least give me a specific address,” Ye Zhen asked.

Liao Feibai raised her sword-like eyebrows.

“A specific address?

I don’t know it.

But within Yinshan County, if you ask about Old Madam Meng of the Meng Family, there will not be a second family who dares to impersonate her.”

Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed; without a specific address, this task would not be easy.

“Instructor Liao, regarding the household we are looking for, could you…”

“Meng Chuan.

Upon hearing this name, you shouldn’t need me to say anything else, right?”

Ye Zhen’s expression turned solemn.

Meng Chuan was a household name in the Black Water Kingdom, at least among the Thirteen Counties of the Northern Land—a legendary hero who was once a disciple of the Qiyun Sect, but unfortunately, he passed away at a young age.

“No need, I know what to do now,” Ye Zhen said loudly.

After pausing, Ye Zhen then asked softly, “Is the letter urgent, Instructor Liao?

Can I deliver it a few days later?”

“What’s the matter?

You have something else to do?”

“I plan to visit my parents back home.

My home is in Wusan County, which is a thousand miles north of Yinshan County.

If it’s not urgent, I’d like to visit my parents in Wusan County first and then make a detour to Yinshan County.

That would be more time-efficient,” Ye Zhen explained.

Upon hearing this, Liao Feibai’s long sword-like eyebrows frowned slightly.

“The letter is not urgent, it doesn’t matter if it’s a few days early or late, but you are at an important juncture in your cultivation.

Before the age of twenty, every single day is extremely precious.

Visiting your family at this time hinders your cultivation progress, don’t you understand?

Ye Zhen, such circumstances, your parents wouldn’t want to see either, would they?”

A complex emotion suddenly flitted across Ye Zhen’s cheeks.

“Before I came to the Qiyun Sect, I had an easy life at home, taken care of by my parents without a care in the world.

But having been a servant disciple at the Qiyun Sect, I have realized how tough life can be.

A few months ago, my parents traveled a long distance to see me, and suddenly I noticed white hairs among the temples of my father, who is in his prime.

And yet, they left me with their return travel expenses so that I could buy pills to increase my cultivation.

This suddenly reminded me of a phrase I read when studying at home, ‘A child is anxious to provide for his parents, but by the time he’s ready, they might be gone.'”

With that, Ye Zhen suddenly broke into a smile, “So, instead of regretting it later, I think it’s better to act now.

As for my cultivation, I’ll travel during the day and cultivate at night, so I won’t fall behind.”

Ye Zhen spoke calmly, but Liao Feibai was suddenly taken aback, and a fleeting, indescribable sadness appeared on her heroic face.

“A child is anxious to provide for his parents, but by the time he’s ready, they might be gone…

Ye Zhen, you’re more fortunate than I…

Go ahead!”

Just as Ye Zhen stepped out of the inner courtyard of the Training Institute, Liao Feibai called out from behind, “Ye Zhen, wait a moment.”

“I didn’t know in advance and wasn’t prepared, but here are four more Marrow Cleansing Pills for your parents; consider this a small token from me.” As she spoke, a Pill Bottle accurately flew into Ye Zhen’s arms.

Ye Zhen was taken aback.

A small token for my parents from Instructor Liao—what does that mean?

This doesn’t make sense!

“Don’t just stand there, do you want to be struck by my sword?” Before Ye Zhen could react, Instructor Liao’s Ice Sword Light flashed out again with a terrifying force, rushing towards Ye Zhen and frightening him into running away in a panic.

Ye Zhen could tell that the Ice Sword Light this time was terrifyingly fierce; in the mere instant that it appeared, it turned the entire room frosty cold.

After Ye Zhen left, a layer of mist emerged from Liao Feibai’s beautiful eyes and turned into frost that collected on her fine eyelashes.

Within the Ice Sword Light, Liao Feibai momentarily transformed into a sorrowful ice sprite.

“Elder Sister Liao, sending a token of sympathy to Ye Zhen’s parents while knowing the truth means you are moved by sentiment.

To those who don’t know, they might think you have intentions towards Ye Zhen,” Fairy Caiyi’s figure emerged from the inner room, waving her sleeve, which instantly melted away the frost in the room.

The mist in Liao Feibai’s eyes receded, and her sadness was concealed as her heroic spirit resurfaced.

“What, Caiyi, are you jealous?

Why don’t you catch up and also give Ye Zhen’s parents something special from yourself?”

Fairy Caiyi’s cheeks instantly blushed with two patches of red.

“Elder Sister Liao, you’re so bad, always teasing me.

Let’s see how I’ll deal with you.” Amid silver-bell-like laughter, Fairy Caiyi’s hands darted towards Liao Feibai’s armpits, and the two women immediately broke into playful fighting.

Although Ye Zhen was eager to return home, he did not rush off immediately.

It was important to visit his family, but his cultivation could not be neglected.

Ye Zhen planned to stay in the Sect for a few more days to get a basic grasp of the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill before starting his journey home.

Moreover, given the magical effects of the Stone Marrow Spirit Liquid, Ye Zhen intended to take some back home and secretly administer it to his parents.

He had almost used up his stock of the Spirit Liquid in his efforts to achieve a breakthrough, so Ye Zhen decided to stay a few more days to accumulate more Stone Marrow Spirit Liquid.

The One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill, a Human-Level top-quality cultivation method, was divided into six stages and was said to be a technique practiced by the Qiyun Sect’s founding master.

The first three stages focus heavily on Condensed Refinement of True Qi, akin to a thousand hammerings and a hundred refinements, building a strong foundation.

The progress during cultivation is quite slow, taking nearly twice the time compared to other techniques.

But at the Fourth Stage one can condense Gang Qi, forming an indestructible Protective True Gang, and at the Fifth Stage, the Gang Qi can extend three meters from the body, taking people’s lives within ten steps as easily as turning one’s hand, not to be easily opposed.

As for the Sixth Stage, one would refine the One Qi Mixed Yuan and touch upon the realm of Spirit Drawing Innate.

Merely the introduction to the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill took Ye Zhen by surprise.

To condense Protective True Gang is a signature mark of the Third Stage of the True Essence Realm, in other words, as long as one cultivates the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill to the Fourth Stage, one can possess combat power comparable to that of the Third Stage of the True Essence Realm.

In the book, there were also several pages of notes personally written by Liao Feibai, including things to pay attention to when cultivating the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill.

With Liao Feibai’s annotations, it would be much easier for Ye Zhen to cultivate the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill.

……

Five days later, on a secluded cliff, Ye Zhen sat cross-legged there, his chest pulsing rhythmically, his breath rising and falling incessantly.

As the aura around Ye Zhen grew more condensed, the heaving of his chest and lower abdomen became even more intense.

“Pfft!”

The fluctuations throughout his body suddenly ceased, and a mouthful of substantial white Qi violently ejected from Ye Zhen’s mouth, striking a pine tree about five meters away with the thickness of a bowl, instantly snapping the pine tree in half.

“All three stages of my Essence Blood Primordial Body Technique’s cultivation have been transformed, and after the bitter practice with more than a dozen True Essence Pills, I have just barely touched the threshold of the Third Stage of One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill.

The progress in this One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill is really slow.”

Murmuring softly, a look of joy appeared on Ye Zhen’s face, nonetheless.

Although the progress in the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill was slow, just touching the threshold of the Third Stage of the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill had nearly increased the total amount of True Yuan in Ye Zhen’s Dantian by a near-half, and the True Yuan within his body, under the dual influence of the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill and the Mirage Dragon Pearl, had become as dense as mercury.

Compared to the few drops of True Yuan that Ye Zhen first condensed, it was tens of times purer.

The power contained within this drop of extremely pure True Yuan made Ye Zhen feel terrified just thinking about it.

Cultivating the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill to this current level and lacking True Essence Pills to assist in further cultivation meant that from now on, it would be a matter of daily, diligent effort.

After some consideration, Ye Zhen decided to pack up and go home to visit his family, and the visit home could not be delayed any longer.

The date of the Ye Family Clan Meeting was approaching, and this time, Ye Zhen planned to make his parents proud!

As an Outer Disciple of Qiyun Sect, he had earned the right to visit his family, but before returning home, he had to register with Steward Guann Feng in the Sect Main Hall.

With Ye Zhen’s status as the runner-up in the inner rankings, these procedures were quickly completed, but, Ye Zhen didn’t pack up and leave the Sect immediately.

Before leaving the Sect, there was a very important thing to bring to his parents—the Stone Marrow Spirit Liquid.

At sunset, Ye Zhen headed straight towards Hundred Pine Peak.

“Going to see Sha Fei again?

Sha Fei is lucky to have you as such a loyal brother.

It won’t be long before I see Sha Fei become an Outer Disciple as well,” said Manager Zhao of Hundred Pine Peak, coincidentally passing by as Ye Zhen visited.

“Heh, it should be my good fortune.

If it wasn’t for Sha Fei protecting me at the beginning, there would be no me today.”

After chatting and laughing for a few moments, Manager Zhao was about to leave when Ye Zhen suddenly remembered something, “Manager Zhao, I have someone to ask about; not sure if you know.”

“Ye Zhen, just ask directly.

If the old man knows, he’ll certainly not hide it,” Manager Zhao replied with a smile.

“Tu Fangye, the fallen True Disciple Tu Fangye, you…”

The moment the name “Tu Fangye” came out of his mouth, Manager Zhao’s face suddenly changed, interrupting Ye Zhen in a low voice, “Why are you inquiring about this person?”

“I…”

“Never mind why, remember, don’t inquire too much about Tu Fangye.

His matters are not something you can probe into, this person is a taboo within the Sect!”

“Alright, I’m headed home now, you should go see Sha Fei if you’re here to visit,” Manager Zhao said.

Watching the hastily departing Manager Zhao, Ye Zhen’s expression grew solemn.

This once-fallen True Disciple turned out to be a taboo within the Sect.

It seemed that the Sect Forbidden Land behind the mountain was not as simple as he had imagined, and he would have to be more careful when inquiring about these matters in the future.

During the hour of You, at Hundred Pine Peak, it was the time when many servant disciples had finished their tasks and were resting.

Seeing Ye Zhen, a black-robed Outer Sect Disciple, approaching, although many recognized him, they all cautiously arose to greet him with awe in their eyes as they looked toward Ye Zhen.

From a distance, Sha Fei spotted Ye Zhen.

This time, however, Sha Fei did not engage in idle chit-chat with Ye Zhen in the courtyard as usual.

Instead, he immediately pulled Ye Zhen into his room and asked with a solemn expression, “Ye Zhen, have you offended anyone recently?”

PS: Youth, have you offended anyone lately?

Don’t know?

You’ll know when you hand over the recommendation tickets!

Hehe!
