Not A Cultivator - Chapter 84
Xie Jing said to his father, Xie Kui, “Father, Master Feng asked for more of those stones!”
“How many does he need?”
After he saw the frown on his father’s face, Xie Jing wiped his sweat from his forehead. “Ummm… all of them.”
“All of them!? Last time he took fifty, I’ve only got two hundred left! What is he doing with it? Doesn’t he know that it’s hard to find them!”
“I… I also don’t know! Master Feng did not tell me anything!”
“Besides that Energy Fist, what else did your Master teach?”
“…”
Xie Kui sighed, “I thought so.”
“But, Master Feng seems to value these stones greatly. If I give it as a gift to him, I can ask for better martial art!”
Xie Kui paused a moment, then he gritted his teeth, “Ugh… Fine! Take them all! But you better learn something!”
“Ahh… My precious stones!!!”
***
With a pile of more than two hundred pure coloured spirit stones beside him, Xie Jing kneeled in front of his master. He cupped his hands and said respectfully, “That being said, I hope Master Feng would teach me something or father will be mad.”
Feng Ao Xiu smiled awkwardly. He already took all the pure coloured spirit stones from the Xie Clan. He must give them something back, or he will be known as a parasite master.
Then, he took a book from his storage ring and tossed it to Xie Jing. “It’s a martial art that can only be used by someone with a gold spirit like you!”
Xie Jing could not contain his excitement. The power of Energy Fist was already destructive, and this time was a specialized martial art for someone with his spirit, it must be heaven-defying!
However, the master only gives a book, without telling him the proper way or giving him specialized training, how is he going to improve?
“Thank you, Master Feng. But why you did not teach me anything?”
Feng Ao Xiu shoulder gets tense. He knew this question will come sooner or later, but he was not allowed to teach. Teaching means a fighting practice or a demonstration of the martial art. While the former would kill him, his body could not handle the latter, his real cultivation level will be revealed if he did.
He acts a bit angry, “You fool! My teaching is too extreme for you to handle. Learn these basic martial arts first before training!”
Xie Jing’s eyes shine brightly. His master has hidden things more than he imagined. From what his master said, this book was only the basic of the basics, he couldn’t wait to learn the advanced martial arts!
“I beg for forgiveness. I did not mean to doubt Master Feng!”
“You are forgiven! Now, go home and practice!”
Xie Jing bowed, then he leaves.
[Phew… I almost got found out, luckily my act was good!]
Alongside Qian Hui, Feng Zhong Tian has been watching all this time, he walks to his son, and said, “You do understand that you just made things worse right!”
His father words have awakened him, Feng Ao Xiu gives himself a facepalm. “What the hell am I doing!?”
“Anyway, we already took all the pure coloured spirit stones from Xie Clan. There are two hundreds of them, but you said we need about five hundred. Isn’t this already a lot?”
“Sure, these are quite a lot, but it’s only enough for one person.” Feng Ao Xiu explained, “Advancing from the Dream Realm to the Iron Realm is easy, about five stones can make one breakthrough. From Iron to Jade Realm is a bit harder, you need about fifteen stones. It reaches its peak if you want to advance from Jade to Ancient Realm, you need at least fifty stones per breakthrough. After you reached the Ancient Mortal Realm, the pure coloured spirit stones will be useless.”
It’s a simple calculation. If someone is a Dream Mortal Realm Cultivator and want to reach the Ancient Mortal Realm, he could consume the Pure Qi from the pure coloured spirit stones. However, the total amount needed would not be small.
5 x 3 + 15 x 3 + 50 x 3 = 210
If he consumes two hundred and ten pure coloured spirit stones, he could be an Ancient Mortal Realm. However, these numbers were not accurate. Two hundred and ten were only an estimation number, depending on the person the number may vary, sometimes less, but mostly it demands more.
“I see…” Feng Zhong Tian and Qian Hui nodded. Alongside Feng Ao Xiu, they all have different thoughts of using this spirit stones.
“From now on we have two options, either we make a small group and distribute the stones equally, or give it all to one person,” said Feng Ao Xiu.
“We are going on a war with the Heavenly Wolf Temple. Numbers were the most important thing in a war. Let’s pick a small group of men about twenty people, then distribute them equally, so we could prolong the war.” suggested Feng Zhong Tian. “While the war is going on, we could find another pure coloured spirit stones in the meantime.”
“I don’t think that is a good option, it takes too long and could cause many casualties. Just another twenty people in the Realm of Iron Mortal realm would not make much change of the war.” Qian Hui shook his head at the Clan Lord’s plan. “It’s better to give it to one person, make him an Ancient Mortal Realm and make him hold the entire army. While he does it, we could take our time and search.”
“He’s right!” Feng Ao Xiu said. “The best option now to carefully read the enemy movement and send this person in the right place.”
“Bahh… Who would that person be?” Feng Zhong Tian not happy his suggestion was turned down. Then, he glanced at Qian Hui. “Could it be you?”
Qian Hui was startled. The thought of being an Ancient Mortal Realm was certainly intriguing. But, he knows it very well, if he does it, he has to hold the entire Heavenly Wolf Temple army by himself. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Wolf Temple also has Ma Zhong and another two Ancient Mortal Realm Cultivator as well.
“Hahaha…” Qian hui smiled wryly. “Thank you for the offer, but I have to decline. Although I’m a gifted man, my talent is not at defending.”
Feng Ao Xiu and Feng Zhong Tian want to puke. How dare he calls himself a gifted man!?
“You’re right, you are not good at defence at all.” Feng Ao Xiu has to admit that Qian Hui got a point, his talent was not on defence but on offence.
Feng Ao Xiu saw it when Li Gao Yun collides with the Qian Brothers. Qian Hui’s movement was hasty and unpolished, but his martial arts movement was suited for attacking and striking.
“Hahaa! I guess it would have to be me!” Feng Zhong Tian said confidently. It was true that since he was small, the Clan Lord has embarked on the path of defence martial arts, he was the most suited for this job.
Although he has to hold off the entire Heavenly Wolf Temple by himself, it will be worth it. His son would teach him some martial arts from the Upper Realm, which strength was several times better than the Lower Realm. The fact that Feng Ao Xiu agreed with Qian Hui’s plan confirmed it all. Combined with Feng Ao Xiu talent in Array Formation, this task was not impossible.
Besides, the Clan Lord could not wait to become an Ancient Mortal Realm Cultivator. That way, in case Feng Ao Xiu’s secret got revealed, he would still be the Clan Lord, because of the high cultivation level. Feng Cheng Hong, who’s only an Iron Earth Realm Cultivator, could not compete with him who’s an Ancient Mortal Realm Cultivator.
Feng Ao Xiu nodded. “In that case. Qian Hui, please transfer the Pure Qi to the water. While I will give my father some martial arts in defence.”
for visiting.
“By myself!?” Qian Hui pointed at himself.
The two men nodded.
Qian Hui grumbled. “F*ck! It will be too tiring! Where’s Lu? How could he run away with the Princess at this moment!?”
Feng Ao Xiu would go on and teach his father some defence martial arts from the Upper Realm. With some advice and pointers, Feng Zhong Tian successfully learned half a move.
“Haahaa! This skill is good! I can feel my body getting harder and stronger!” The Clan Lord stood on the courtyard in horse stance.
His body was several times tougher compared to the move he learned in the Lower Realm. By only the first half move, and the effect was already surpassing his expectation, what would happen if he learned the complete one?
“What’s the rest? What should I do now?” Feng Zhong Tian asked his son, he could not wait to contain his excitement.
However, quite to the contrary, Feng Ao Xiu frowned.
“Father, let’s just stop!”
“What’s wrong? Did you not know the rest?”
“It’s not that… But, it will be useless if you learned it…”
“Don’t stutter! Just tell me.”
“Umm…” Feng Ao Xiu said, “It seems you’re not good at defence martial arts.”
“What!?”
“I also did not notice at first. But, after this step, I know that your potential is not in defence but offence. Your temperament and habits support striking ability and weapon reinforcement, learning another defence would not maximize your potential.”
“I don’t believe you!” Feng Zhong Tian shook his head. “Are you telling me to change my style!?”
“Please believe me! I used to be stronger than you. Moreover, I’ve seen lots of cultivators changing their style in the Upper Realm. I know what suited you best!”
“…” Feng Zhong Tian could only stay silent. When he was a child, he tried both offence and defence martial arts. He was quicker and faster at learning defence than offence, that’s the reason why he chose the former. But, he never thought the path he chose was not suited for him. What went wrong?
“Father, I know you’re confused, I will explain it to you later. But, right now we have to find someone trustworthy and good at defence martial arts.” Feng Ao Xiu said.
“I guess you’re right…” Feng Zhong Tian sighed. “But where do we find this someone? There’s a lot of them, but who’s trustworthy enough to be taught.”
“I don’t know… But, we should be able to find…”
Suddenly, a fat guard approached the two men.
“Second Young Master, the Princess wants to know if you’re already finished talking about the dowry?”
Feng Ao Xiu did not answer. A tear came out from his eyes before he shouted something weird, “Why him!?”
Feng Zhong Tian was confused. “What’s wrong with you? it’s just Qian Lu…”
“F*ck!”
The Clan Lord finally realized what’s happening. He inadvertently let out a curse from his mouth.
Yes, the person trustworthy and have a good foundation for defence martial arts was the fat guard, Qian Lu.
[But is this person the right choice? Could we trust Qian Lu with the entire life of Feng Clan?]
[No! We should believe in him!]
“Second Young Master, are you crying because you miss me? If you do, please give me some food, I’m hungry!” Qian Lu said innocently.
Feng Ao Xiu, “…”
Feng Zhong Tian, “…”
[Could we trust this stupid idiot with the entire life of Feng Clan?]
