Chronicles of Daoist Fan - Chapter 129

A peculiar scene unfolded in the area. The emerald light entered my body and nourished it in every way possible. My skin became softer and smoother before turning elastic and durable. I felt like it had gained the properties of trees, like how plant cells are stronger than animal cells.

My skeleton underwent a huge change as I grew taller on spot like a growing bamboo, crossing 1.9 meters before stopping. I felt a vigorous power coursing through my veins as my bones cracked and arranged simultaneously.

As the light disappeared inside my body, I found that I was at the sixth rank of Meridian Opening! My hands, chest, head and back meridians had opened perfectly. Out of the 36, now only 16 Yang meridians remained and I could get a Perfect Yang Body.

However, I found that something else had also happened to my body and that left me absolutely thrilled. Brilliant Light Physique was unlocked!

I had thought that I would have to create a Perfect Yang Body first to get the physique Immortal Zuifan had, but this blessing was more powerful than I imagined.

An aura of clarity and freshness appeared, as if I was born out of nature. When the master saw me, he was beyond astonished, just like the Verdant Azure Cedar.

This couldn’t be the work of its blessing alone. Indeed, Brilliant Light Physique was at work here. He had unlocked it a little early. Now, I finally had the heaven-grade talent which I was supposed to have.

Physiques were a common thing in higher worlds but here in this mortal world, it was rare as a drop of water in a desert.

[You have found a terrific disciple…] Even this old demon beast which had lived a long life was stunned.

I clenched my fist and a loud sound boomed. This hands contained explosive powers equivalent to that of a nearly peak rank Meridian Opening practitioner.

After all that normal luck, my luck was finally shining. I could speedrun the cultivation in this world with my heaven-grade talent. As the physique of a previous immortal, Brilliant Light Physique was kind of too overpowered for this mortal world.

”Thank you, master,” I turned to the old man floating above me and then towards the tree, ”Thank you, Verdant Azure.”

I suddenly found that my current clothes were smaller and shorter now. As I cupped my hands and bowed, my hair hung before me. It had grown as long as a typical woman’s hair in such a short time.

”This… this…” Master Xuang floated down and inspected me. He still couldn’t believe that I had skipped six whole ranks of Meridian Opening with this blessing.

”It seems Verdant Azure Cedar is getting more powerful…” He muttered to himself. However, he then placed his hands on my shoulder and asked in a grave tone. ”Do you really don’t know which senior placed that legacy in your mind?”

Oh, he believed that the technique I was practicing was the cause for my rapid advancement.

”No, master. I’m also trying to find who that mysterious senior is. He could be a Core Condensation Cultivator.” I played dumb. The whole legacy was a lie, so what if I added a few more bullshit there?

Fu Xuang thanked the Verdant Azure Cedar, saying that he will not forget this gratitude in his lifetime. The demon beast was confused, however. Nature’s Blessing was special but it wasn’t THIS special.

These two didn’t know much about cultivation physiques, so it was understandable.

We returned to the hill and the moment I landed, Senior Tanya came.

”Master, where did yo- WHAT?!”

She flew and came before me, directly feeling my muscles and examining my head. She made a round and then asked, ”Who are you?”

”Don’t you recognize this junior, senior Tanya?” I smiled and put my hands on my waist.

She freaked out, as if she was denying reality itself. It was a perfectly normal reaction. Actually, if any hardworking practitioner found out that I had advanced like this, then they might even die spurting blood. This was just too ridiculous.

”Are you a secret child of heaven?” Fu Tanya felt like that was the case. Otherwise, she had no way to explain this.

Master Xuang flung his robes and gave a brief explanation of what happened to me. He seemed more happy than me, although he tried to hide it.

”No fair, I also want a blessing like that!” She couldn’t help but complain.

”Go cultivate. This old man has something important to attend to.” He flew away before she could grab his thigh and plead.

”Prepare for lots of challenges.” She said when he disappeared towards the village below.

”Why?” I asked.

We got inside the cottage. She was about to say something when the floor suddenly broke. I jumped and softly landed on the other floor while she floated up.

”I’m sorry,” I said. Due to such a rapid advancement, my sense of my own strength was disrupted. I would need to consolidate my advancement before doing anything else.

Otherwise, it won’t be just this small floor but everything I touch would break or be damaged.

”So about the challenges, Master will most likely tel- AAAA!” I was attentively listening before she suddenly shouted again.

I rubbed my ears. Though I knew why she cried. My clothes were ripped off. I guess I really needed to pay more attention. I smiled a wry smile.

…

Two days later, I came out of the cottage, clad in bright yellow robes and equipping my longsword. Its weight no longer bothered me. I had consolidated my improvement in power and could control my strength now.

I kept my lush long hair down. My muscles were more toned and I had gained a lean, powerful body. Taking confident steps towards the village, I met some of the clansmen who didn’t quite recognize me.

”Who is this young man?”

”I don’t know, he came from Elder Xuang’s hill.”

They whispered amongst themselves while washing their clothes in the stream. I had strolled the Riverfall village a few times during these three months but I could never get enough of its beauty.

Suddenly, I noticed that the girls were avoiding my gaze but with my spirit sense, I found them sneaking glances at me when I wasn’t looking. What was the deal here?

I looked at my reflection in the stream water and touched my face. My face… I had grown more handsome. I knew that it was one of the perks of trying to create a Perfect Yang Body, but even I didn’t expect that I would get such lady killer looks after advancing.

”I-is young master new here?” One of the girls asked. She had a bucket full of dirty clothes in her hands.

”Which way is the fourth young miss’s house?” I asked back. Fourth young miss was Fu Qiai.

”Over there…” The girl absently pointed, charmed by my appearance.

She didn’t even think that I might be an outsider. I was taller and had some distinct differences in my appearance now. I was worrying that Fu clansmen wouldn’t recognize me but as I went deeper towards the village, every one recalled that I was the new disciple of Elder Xuang.

”Was he always this good looking?”

”Wait, wasn’t he just a Viscera Purifying practitioner?”

They finally realized that I had gotten far stronger than what I was just a week ago when I went through this place.

The houses in riverfall village were mostly made of wood. There were wide enough roads for people to walk and as carriages were rarely used in the village, the roads were spotlessly clean.

Each elder had a hill for themselves while the clan leader had a large mansion in the center of this village. Fu Qiai was his fourth daughter but every child of his was already an adult and lived in separate houses.

I had recently learned that Fu Qiai was actually an untalented child. All of the young masters and young misses of the Fu clan, except for the sixth son and eighth daughter, were Qi gathering cultivators.

The eldest daughter was even made an elder because she was a rank 8 Qi gathering cultivator at an age of just fourty. It was evident that her, and the third son 5th rank cultivator at an age of 35, were the future leaders of the clan.

It was only because Fu Qiai was talented in business that she still had her young miss status. However, she was soon going to be married to Cang WeiQin, a master alchemist’s disciple. I heard that he was a peak rank Meridian Opening practitioner. I knew all of this by asking senior sister Tanya.

”Miss, someone is here.” Informed one of the maids outside Fu Qiai’s house. She was watering the plants in the small garden just beside the house.

I waited for some time but the young miss didn’t come. Thus, I directly entered the house under the gaze of the maids. They were staring at me too much.

Reaching inside, I found that there was a hallway which led to the otherside. As I walked through the bright hallway while looking at the rooms on either side, I reached outside again. There was a large tree and a trimmed meadow with no plants.

”Hah! Hah!”

Fu Qiai was practicing the sword technique I had given her. She had already reached rank eight of Meridian Opening.

”Who?” She asked, turning her sweaty face around and was instantly stunned seeing me.
