《Super Devouring System》 Chapter 1.1 - Crossing
Chapter 1.1 Crossing ¡°Someone, anyonee quick! The Young Master cut his wrist andmitted suicide¡­ someone¡­¡± Awakening from the stupor of sleep, Ye Xuan looked around and found his figure lying on a soft bed. ¡°Oh, my head is spinning¡­¡± he muttered softly and rubbed his temples. Waves of intense pain came from his wrist causing a frown to form on the edge of his lips. He lowered his head and noticed his left wrist had been wrapped like a dumpling. ¡°Holy sh*t, what is this?¡± Confused, Ye Xuan knotted his brows. He could feel his left wrist was injured but¡­ However, at the next moment, his eyes erged and bulged wide open. Large pools of memories suddenly flooded his head. Profound Sun Empire¡­ Southern Cyanwood Forest¡­ Cloud Merge City¡­ Ye Family¡¯s Young Master, Ye Xuan¡­ The memory stimted his brain causing the youth to grit his teeth and let out an unfathomable, blood-curdling scream.
After a long while, the bulging veins on his forehead retracted.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Did I transmigrate?¡± Feeling the memory running through in his head, Ye Xuan quickly crawled out of bed and looked at the reflecting mirror only to discover the body looked exactly the same as him¡ªeven the sunburnt ck pigment exposed to the sun was the same. He vaguely remembered what happened before the transmigration. At the time, he was reading a novel on a website called Palm Reading. The lights on the ceiling suddenly flickered as if something grand was about to happen like those in a movie. However, what happened the next moment was still fresh in his mind. The lights on the ceiling went out and the 30-inch disy monitor in front of him, one he bought for a huge sum began rumbling and sucked things in like a vacuum cleaner. The instant noodles, mouse, keyboard, mobile phone¡­ all were sucked into the monitor disy. In the end, even Ye Xuan was unable to escape from the pitiful troughs. He could hear the sizzling sounds of electric currents which was ear-piercing and harsh. ¡°Have I truly transmigrated, or am I dreaming?¡± Ye Xuan was uncertain. Just as he was about to pinch himself to verify the truth of the matter, sounds of footsteps echoed from the outside door, followed by the appearance of a petite figure. ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re awake¡­¡±
She around the age of twelve or thirteen: tall, slender, and her face delicately natural as if made by the heavens. As he turned around, a memory floated up. She was his personal servant, Liu¡¯er. His lips parted, but before a word came out, he felt ten thousand needles stabbing his sr plexus. The sudden pain caused him to pass out, almost. Now he was sure transmigrated. It was no longer a dream. ¡°Ahh¡­!¡± Ye Xuan screamed. ¡°Young Master, quickly lie down¡­¡± Seeing his agonizing state, Liu¡¯er rushed forward and led him to the side of the bed. ¡°Young Master, your dantian is broken and you¡¯ve lost all your cultivation. It would be better if you rest for the time being¡­¡± ¡°What?¡±
His dantian shattered? Cultivation lost? Ovee with shock, Ye Xuan staggered. After sensing around, he realized he gained an additional ability to see the inside of his body. He could feel his dantian was empty and his heart thumped, a strange feeling of emptiness flooding him whole. ¡°What the hell is going on? Why did I transmigrate to this ce into an unlucky guy with a broken dantian?¡± Ye Xuan was helpless. However, he suddenly discovered something extraordinary within his broken dantian. It was a golden sphere.
Chapter 1.2 - Crossing
Chapter 1.2: Crossing ¡°The hole in my dantian is the same size as this golden ball. Are you the one that caused all my cultivation to disappear¡­?¡± Ye Xuan understood. Though he read a few fantasy novels, he found no pieces of relevant information. What exactly is this golden ball? He began recalling the past. Three days ago, Ye Xuan, the unlucky ghost reced by him, had been practicing his first art the back of the Ye n¡¯s courtyard and coincidentally picked up a golden ball. Following that, the golden ball entered directly into his dantian and created a massive hole causing his spirit energy to leak and unable to condense. Moreover, other than the dantian, Martial Warriors could hide their spirit energy in each and every meridian. However, he didn¡¯t notice that the golden ball broke inside his dantian and sucked up all the spirit energy and cultivation level from his body causing him to be an ordinary person. He was originally Ye n¡¯s number one genius. At fifteen, he broke through the fourth stage of Martial Path. At that stage, only a few handful of people were able topare to him. But now, he didn¡¯t have any drop of spirit energy left on his body. He probably couldn¡¯t evenpare to a child of the age n. One must know that the Ye Chan practice the martial way since they are young. Even a ten years old child was at the first stage of Martial Path.
After losing all his cultivation, Ye Xuan continued his training and even attempted to stop the golden ball from absorbing any more of his spirit energy. He had even consumed arge number of treasures and resources but to no avail.
When the news spread, the city was in a sea of turmoil because he¡¯d recently been epted by a powerful force called the Splitting Cloud Sect to be their outer sect disciple. In another year, he would be heading back to Splitting Cloud Sect to report his arrival. Splitting Cloud Sect was a powerful sect. Even if ten cities the size of Cloud Merge City were added, it would still not be able topete with them. Only reason Ye Xuan was epted in the sect was that his talent wasn¡¯t too bad. But now, he had lost all his cultivation levels and was unable to recover. Such sect would definitely not ept a useless disciple. When Ye n found out Ye Xuan lost all his cultivation and was unable to recover them, the n grewpletely lifeless and devoid of life. It was a pity. The young master became a cripple just like that. Ye Xuan finally understood. The unlucky bastard had his dantian smashed by this golden ball. Unable to bear his cripple life any longer, hemitted suicide by slicing his wrist. And¡­ he really didmit suicide. After that, Ye Xuan transmigrated and reces the unlucky bastard.
¡°Young Master, are you alright?¡± Seeing Ye Xuan not speak a word, Liu¡¯er asked anxiously. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry,¡± he smiled. ¡°Young Master won¡¯t bemitting suicide again.¡± Hearing Ye Xuan say so, Liu¡¯er¡¯s face lit up with boundless happiness and she anxiously said, ¡°Then Young Master rest will. Liu¡¯er will go get you a bowl of Blood Replenishing Porridge??.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Xuan nodded. Because he had lost too much blood, Ye Xuan could only stay in bed and rest for the entire day. It wasn¡¯t as if he had not made any gains on the first day of his transmigration. First, he adapted his body in ordance with thews of the environment and second, he began to understand how to circte his cultivation techniques and condense it into spirit energy. However, the newly condensed spiritual energy waspletely absorbed by the golden ball when it flowed to his dantian. Moreverocer, it would dissipate due to the copse of his dantian.
¡°I don¡¯t believe it. It actually turned out like this. That unlucky Ye Xuan was the number one genius in the Ye n. His uncle even allowed him to go to the treasury every month to collect a stalk of 100 Year Old Blood Ginseng. I should go and get one to eat.¡± Thinking of this, Ye Xuan put on his clothing and walked out.
Chapter 2.1 - Tiger Falling
Chapter 2.1: Tiger Falling The current soul in Ye Xuan¡¯s body long merged with the previous unlucky bastard¡¯s memories so he found the path to the treasure house extremely familiar. On the way to, he saw many youths of his generation turn their heads and look at him with strange, pitiful eyes. ¡°Ah, look, that crippled waste dared toe out. Does he not mind losing face?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! He must¡¯ve angered the heavens and so punished him by crippling his cultivation! Now look, he¡¯s just an ordinary person!¡± ¡°Tsk¡­ what a shame¡­ my cousin just entered the martial way, but look at him! He has no ounce of spirit energy! I¡¯m afraid he¡¯d not be able to beat my cousin were to have a friendlypetition!¡± ¡°How pitiful¡­ from Ye n¡¯s number one genius to bing Cloud Merge City¡¯s number one trash¡­ if I were him, I¡¯d have killed myself from the shame!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t he attempt tomit suicide by cutting his wrist?¡± ¡°Heh! Maybe the image of his beautiful fiancee came to mind and he decided not to throw away his life! !¡±
Many of Ye n¡¯s disciples leaned close to one another and whispered words of disdain. After all, his cultivation base dissipated into nothingness and it was the first time Cloud Merge City saw such urrence.
The popce suspected Ye Xuan somehow angered the heavens, thus resulting in his current misfortune. Ye n¡¯s existence came to life only around two hundred years ago. They were a new n but their presence in Cloud Merge City was colossal. Originally, Ye Xuan was hailed as the number one genius of Ye n. They treated him like their god, but now¡­ everything was different. When Ye Xuan reached the treasure house, the manager at the front door entrance raised his head. Suddenly, his countenance twisted into one of pure disgust. ¡°Ye Xuan, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°I want a stalk of the Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng.¡± Upon hearing the other party address his name informally, his lips curled down slightly, however, he chose not to express his thoughts out loud. The treasure house manager¡¯s head tilted slightly. ¡°Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng?¡± When the treasure house manager heard this, his lips turned. He pointed his forefinger towards Ye Xuan and scolded him for his otherwiseck of behavior. ¡°You think you¡¯re still the number one genius in our Ye n? Such a precious thing like that Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng, it¡¯d be a waste if it were used on a crippled waste like you! Go away!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s teeth gnashed. ¡°The Patriarch said I could obtain a stalk of the Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng each month.¡± ¡°Patriarch?¡± The treasure house manager crossed his arms and exuded a haughty air. ¡°Heh! The Patriarch sent out an order yesterday. You can¡¯t take it now.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t?¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s heart grew cold.
The Patriarch the treasure house¡¯s manager spoke of was the unlucky bastard¡¯s one and only uncle. When his cultivation remained full and vigorous earlier, he recalled his uncle doting on him lovingly while he nurtured him with utmost care. Each month, his uncle allowed Ye Xuan to grab a stalk of the Hundred Years Old Ginseng to strengthen his spirit energy, origin blood, and physical constitution. ¡°You can¡¯t have one anymore! Who knows when you¡¯llmit suicide. Maybe it¡¯ll be tomorrow!¡± The treasure house¡¯s manager said coldly. ¡°You¡­¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s bottled anger rose slightly. He recalled the time when the treasure house¡¯s manager spoke to him respectfully with his head bowed deeply. Someone of his lowly existence dared not meet Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes, but now, he had the gall to look down on him with such haughtiness? ¡°You what¡­?! This is the rule! Quickly leave!¡± The treasure house¡¯s manager waved his hand and dismissed him . ¡°Don¡¯t you have a Spirit Increasing Pill? As long as you are a child of the Ye n, regardless of one¡¯s cultivation level, they can receive three Spirit Increasing Pills every month,¡± Ye Xuan quickly blurted out seemingly remembering Ye n¡¯sw.
¡°To think you still remember this, but unfortunately, the Patriarch gave us an order. Right now, you can¡¯t ept even one Spirit Strengthening Pill!¡± He snorted coldly. ¡°What? Not even a single one¡­?¡±
Chapter 2.2 - Tiger Falling
Chapter 2.2: Tiger Falling Ye Xuan opened his eyes wide. Did he hear that wrong? The Spirit Strengthening Pill increases one¡¯s own spirit energy. One pellet costs one hundred silver taels while three pellets cost three hundred silver taels. The Hundred Years Old Blood Ginseng was worth one hundred thousand silver taels. Ye Xuan could not believe how stingy his uncle became after he lost all hopes of recovering his nephew¡¯s cultivation. He could not even bother to give him a mere pellet worth one hundred silver taels?! What was that?! Ye Xuan did not say much. His teeth clenched¡ªlooking like a tiger bullied by a dog. He could p the treasure house manager¡¯s face with just one hand before, but now it was not so. The tables have turned. Now the treasure house¡¯s manager could stab him to death with a finger.
¡°When I recover my strength, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson! I¡¯ll remember this!¡± Ye Xuan noted the grudge down in his heart. He¡¯ll remember the treasure house manager¡¯s loathsome look¡ªhe¡¯ll engrave it in his mind.
However, if he¡¯s unable to recover even half of his strength, then all that he¡¯d done would be in vain. Sighing inwardly, Ye Xuan returned to his room and began pondering over his current predicament carefully. Not long after, a manly figure walked into the courtyard. Seeing the figure up close, Ye Xuan shouted his name. ¡°Uncle!¡± ¡°Ye Xuan, I heard you went to the treasure house earlier today,¡± said the Patriarch, Ye Zhang, his voice overbearingly deep. ¡°Yes,¡± Ye Xuan nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t me uncle. Your cultivation dropped tremendously and now¡­ now there¡¯s not even a small drop in the bucket. If you¡¯re able to recover, it¡¯d be for the best, however, you¡¯ve already spent a million silver taels inside the treasure house and you¡¯ve not shown the slightest hint of recovery, so the elders and I decided that we can no longer allow you to utilise any of the cultivation resources.¡± Ye Zhang shook his head in regret. ¡°¡­You already gave up on me¡­?¡± The youth¡¯s heart turned somewhat bitter. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m giving up on you¡­ just that¡­ you¡¯re no longer able to cultivate like before,¡± Ye Zhang said slowly. ¡°Until your body recovers and you regain your cultivation, you¡¯ll help manage Ye n¡¯s business. You should go and pack up now.¡±
Ye Xuan nodded. ¡°Alright, I understand!¡± How pitifullyughable, really! Ye n truly gave up on him, otherwise, Ye Zhang would¡¯ve never allowed him to pack and leave Cloud Merge City. He was the number one wastrel trash in Cloud Merge City. If he left, it¡¯d only bring the Ye n more benefits than none. So long as he¡¯s gone, the people would forget his existence as time passed by. As Ye Xuan prepared to enter his room, Ye Zheng suddenly called out. ¡°Ye Xuan, don¡¯t go yet.¡± The youth turned his head and smiled softly. ¡°Uncle, is there anything else?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­ before the misfortune arrived, Ye n arranged you a partner in marriage. You¡¯re engaged to Lin Xu¡¯er of Lin n. However, after Cloud Merge City heard of your mishaps, Lin n became a little¡­¡± Ye Zhang stopped in his tracks and did not continue.
Ye Xuan understood. ¡°Uncle, does Lin n want to end the engagement?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ye Zhang nodded, ¡°And they¡¯ve already arrived. They¡¯re currently in the main hall and brought a gift of offering.¡± ¡°Uncle, I understand now. I¡¯ll go ahead and meet them,¡± Ye Xuan replied perfunctorily. It was another case of a tiger falling to the ground while a lowly dog bullied him. It couldn¡¯t be helped. This was also the nature of humans. No n would want their precious daughter to marry a trash¡ªa trash who could not cultivate and a trash who attempted suicide because the trash was afraid of being cut off. In Cloud Merge City, there exists a few couple farmers able to cultivate. Though they weren¡¯t strong by all means, they had enough spirit energy residing in their bodies.
And what of Ye Xuan? He did not have a single bit of spirit energy. It¡¯s probably why the thought of suicide sprung to mind. He¡¯d not be able to beat a strong man who did not even know how to cultivate. The very thought of it terrified him so. ¡°It¡¯s good you¡¯re able to keep your head cool. Moreover, she was epted by a sect stronger than Splitting Cloud Sect.¡± Ye Zhang nced over Ye Xuan¡¯s shoulder.
Chapter 3 - Three Times
Chapter 3: Three Times "Oh¡­? Is that so¡­?" Ye Xuan''s eyes shed. If Lin Xue''er is epted by the powerhouse sect, she''d immediately be a direct disciple. It was no wonder that the Lin n was in such a hurry to end the engagement. After all, even the aptitude of that unlucky fellow from before had been taken advantage of in the Splitting Cloud Sect. Although Lin Xue¡¯r¡¯s talent was a little worse than that of the unlucky ghost, there was definitely something extraordinary about her being able to be chosen by that powerhouse sect. After that, Ye Xuan followed Ye Zhang to the main hall. In any case, he had gone from the number one genius of the Ye n to the number one trash of Cloud Merge City. ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ At this moment, there were already a lot of people sitting in the Ye n''s main hall. Among them, the four n elders of the Ye n were all present. On the other side, there were only two people from the Lin n: a middle-aged man and an old man. The atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange, not a single sound could be heard. Ye Xuan followed Ye Zhang into the hall, and immediately became the focus of attention, as the Lin n hade for Ye Xuan today.
¡°Good, he¡¯s here.¡± After Ye Xuan entered the hall, the middle-aged man from the Lin n nodded his head. Ye Xuan also sat down, and his gazended on the two members of the Lin n. Ye Xuan had seen that middle-aged man before; he was Lin Xue¡¯er¡¯s father, Lin Ming. As for the old man, no one in the Ye n knew of his background. However, judging from his clothes, he was clearly not a servant because he was sitting right next to Lin Ming. Before Ye Xuan could even sit down, Lin Ming said again, ¡°Brother Ye, I believe you already know the purpose of our visit today. This is the betrothal gift that your Ye n sent to my Lin n that day.¡± ¡°Brother Lin, I know.¡± Ye Zhang nodded. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then Brother Ye, you ¡­¡± Lin Ming paused for a moment and did not continue.
Ye Zhang immediately understood as well. He looked to Ye Xuan and said, ¡°Ye Xuan, take out the marriage contract.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Without a word, Ye Xuan took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket. It was precisely the marriage he had with Lin Xue¡¯er. Seeing this marriage contract, Lin Ming¡¯s eyes also lit up. He smiled and said, ¡°Nephew truly is generous. As long as you break this engagement, then these betrothal gifts will be returned to your Ye n.¡± Ye Xuan looked at him, then nced at Lin Xue¡¯er and said: ¡°I can tear this engagement, but ¡­¡± ¡°But what?¡± Lin Ming¡¯s brows twitched. He thought, could it be that Ye Xuan had other requirements? ¡°This marriage was brought up by your Lin n, and it has only been a month since then. It¡¯s not impossible for them to break off the engagement, but I remember that there seems to be a rule against it¡­¡± Ye Xuan did not continue. He knew Lin Ming would understand. Hearing this, everyone present frowned. ¡°Nephew, you mean, double the betrothal gift?¡± Lin Ming¡¯s expression froze.
But before he could finish speaking, Ye Xuan shook his head: ¡°No, I want three times!¡± What? When the voice fell, everyone present was shocked. Ye Xuan was really asking for it! ¡°Nephew, are you joking?¡± Lin Ming asked in astonishment. ¡°Uncle Lin, do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡± The corner of Ye Xuan¡¯s mouth raised slightly and continued: ¡°Our Cloud Merge City''s betrothal gift is at most a hundred thousand silver taels, and Uncle Lin, you should know, the gift that my father prepared for me when he left home was a whole million silver taels. If you want to break off this engagement, then you must take out three times, or else, I absolutely will not agree to it! ¡± He was already a cripple, what other wife did he need? Of course, cultivation was more important! ¡°You ¡­¡± Lin Ming was speechless.
Indeed, the betrothal gift they epted was indeed a bit expensive. It was ten times more expensive than normal. However, Ye Xuan suddenly asked for three times the betrothal gift back, which was different. This was 3 million silver taels, which was equivalent to thirty years of ie for a small family." ¡°Ye Xuan, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ye Zhang suddenly scuttled over and whispered. ¡°Uncle, since the Lin n dares to do this, we must prepare for this.¡± Ye Xuan answered coldly. ¡°If you do this, it will make things difficult for the Ye n.¡± Ye Zhang reminded. ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. If I receive the three times betrothal gift, I will definitely make up for the Treasures that I spent all these days.¡± Ye Xuan ignored him and continued. ¡°You ¡­¡± Ye Zhang was also made speechless by Ye Xuan. In front of him, Lin Ming was discussing something with the old man. After a while, Lin Ming nodded his head and said, ¡°Alright, three times the betrothal gift. My Lin Family is willing to return three times the betrothal gift!¡± When he finished speaking, he looked straight at the marriage contract in Ye Xuan¡¯s hands. ¡°Uncle Lin, until I see the returned betrothal gift, I will not break this engagement.¡± Ye Xuan said clearly. ¡°Alright!¡± Lin Ming¡¯s face darkened. Immediately afterwards, the old man waved his right hand and took out a jade bottle. He said, ¡°Here are two Spirit Gathering Pills. Each pill is worth a million silver taels.¡± What? The crowd present were shocked once again. However, they were not shocked by the price of the Spirit Gathering Pills. Instead, they were shocked by the techniques of this old man. ¡°Heaven and Earth Ring?!¡± One of the Ye n elders eximed. The Heaven and Earth Ring was a very precious thing. It was very convenient to store a hundred items in the spatial ring. There might not even be a single one within the entire Splitting Cloud Sect. This old man actually had such a precious Heaven and Earth Ring! Just who was he? ¡°Could it be that this old man is an elder of that powerful sect, the master of Lin Xue¡¯er?¡± Everyone had the same thought in their hearts, but in the next moment, they personally rejected this conjecture. This was because if he came, Lin Xue¡¯er would definitely be present as well. Therefore, they guessed that the old man was probably just one of the sect''s followers. If a follower could own a Heaven & Earth Ring, then how strong was that old man? When Ye Xuan saw the capabilities of this old man, his heart trembled. He suddenly regretted it a little and felt that his price had dropped. However, since the price had already been announced, there was no point in regretting it. Immediately, he walked over, took the jade bottle, and handed over the marriage contract in his hand. Bam! The old man took the marriage contract and a powerful spirit energy suddenly gushed out from his right hand, instantly shattering it. Right now, Ye Xuan and Lin Xue¡¯er did not have any rtionship at all, but the former did not regret at all. After all, he had only met Lin Xue¡¯er once. Even though Lin Xue¡¯er looked like a Heavenly Immortal, she was still nothing more than a piece of trash. With the size of Cloud City, he could definitely find ady that couldpare to her.
Chapter 4 - Pave My Own Path
Chapter 4: Pave My Own Path ¡°May I dare to ask for Senior¡¯s name?¡± Ye Xuan suddenly asked as he kept the jade bottle. Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhang shouted out, ¡°Ye Xuan, don¡¯t be rude!¡± ¡°Hehe, this kid is quite bold.¡± The old man nced at Ye Zhang and said, ¡°This old man is called Yu Jin, protector of the Heaven Origin Sect.¡± Heaven Origin Sect! When this name entered the ears of everyone present, it caused them to be stunned. They were not shocked, but felt astonished because they had never heard of this sect before. The Elder did not intend to exin either. He said, ¡°Brat, the triple betrothal gift has already been withdrawn and the marriage contract has already been torn apart. In that case, Miss Lin Xue¡¯er has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Yes, Senior!¡± Ye Xuan said respectfully. ¡°In the future, you will know that cancelling this engagement will bring great benefits to you.¡± Yu Jin said casually. He knew that Ye Xuan would not understand, so he said, ¡°Miss Lin Xue¡¯er, being taken in as a disciple by our Heaven Origin Sect¡¯s Elder, her achievements in the future will far surpass everyone here. Not only that, even the overlord of this region, the Splitting Cloud Sect, will not be able topare to her. From now on, Miss Lin Xue¡¯er will definitely have many suitors. If they find out that Lin Xue¡¯er is engaged, not to mention your Ye n , even the entire Cloud Merge City will be destroyed!¡±
When the old man¡¯s voice faded, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Just what background did the Heaven Origin Sect have? Could it be that they were even stronger than the Profound Yang Empire? ¡°Alright, now that the marriage contract has been broken, I won¡¯t stay any longer ¡­.¡± The old man stood up and prepared to leave. Ye Xuan also cupped his fists. ¡°Goodbye, Senior!¡± ¡°Haha, goodbye. We won¡¯t meet again.¡± The old manughed out loud. ¡°I have heard about your matters before, you have suddenly lost all your cultivation and became a cripple. Although there is a precious Dan in my Heaven & Earth Ring that can help you recover, this Dan is extremely precious. Moreover, your talent can be found everywhere in Splitting Cloud Sect. Furthermore, you can¡¯t even bepared to a service disciple in the Heaven Origin Sect. Therefore, we will not meet again.¡± ¡°Oh? Senior, how can you be so sure? ¡± Ye Xuan suddenly raised his head. ¡°Of course I am sure. Do you really think you cane to my Heaven Origin Sect?¡± The old man turned and looked at Ye Xuan.
¡°Then, senior shall wait and see!¡± Ye Xuan squinted his eyes. After he received the bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills, he had a strong premonition that this time, he would definitely be able to recover his cultivation. This was because after the Spirit Pill appeared, the golden ball in his Dantian fiercely trembled for a moment. ¡°Although your talent is not high, your character suits my taste. Alright, if you are able to enter the Heaven Origin Sect, I will ept you as a true disciple!¡± Yu Jin said casually, then flicked his sleeves and left. Lin Xue¡¯er¡¯s father, Lin Ming, also followed closely behind, leaving behind a group of stunned Ye Family higher-ups. They did not expect the old man to be so easy-going, and even started to chat with Ye Xuan. If Ye Xuan could really enter the Heaven Origin Sect, this old man would fulfill his promise and ept Ye Xuan as his true disciple. But was that possible? Right now, Ye Xuan had no cultivation at all, and even if he was able to recover his cultivation, he would at most be able to enter Splitting Cloud Sect. Furthermore, Heaven Origin Sect was a hundred times stronger the Splitting Cloud Sect, so no one knew where they were. Therefore, it was impossible for Ye Xuan to see the old man again. After the old man and Lin Ming left, Ye Xuan turned around and spoke to Ye Zhang: ¡°Uncle, these betrothal gifts will be mypensation. Also, if I am unable to recover my strength, Uncle, you must assign me to another city or town." ¡°You want to leave the Ye n?¡± Ye Zhang could not react in time. ¡°That¡¯s right. I n leave Ye n, which means, from now on, I, Ye Xuan, am no longer a member of the Ye n in Cloud Merge City.¡± Ye Xuan nodded.
¡°What did you say?¡± Ye Zhang suddenly opened his eyes wide, he did not dare believe that Ye Xuan would actually say such a thing. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m saying that I have to leave Ye n. Please grant me that request!¡± Ye Xuan cupped his fists and said seriously. ¡°You¡­¡± Ye Zhang pointed at Ye Xuan, and was speechless for a moment. Now that Ye Xuan had obtained two precious Spirit Gathering Pills and suddenly wanted to leave the Ye n to establish his own path, this matter happened too quickly and he was unable to process it. ¡°Alright!¡± Before Ye Zhang could say anything, a Ye n Elder standing on the side said with a stern voice, ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I also agree. Since this boy wants to establish his own path, then let him be. He has no strength to reverse the situation.¡± The other elder nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. If an ordinary person like him manages our Ye n''s business, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to manage it properly. Let him be.¡± The Third Elder agreed. In the Ye n, there were only five high echelons: Ye Zhang and these four Elders. If something big were to happen, they would need to gather together and decide after voting. Right now, the three Elders had already agreed. Even if Ye Zhang and the remaining elders rejected, it would be of no use.
¡°Thank you for your help, n Elders. From today onwards, I, Ye Xuan, will have no rtionship with the Ye n of Cloud Merge City. Today, I will move out of the Ye n!¡± Ye Xuan bowed and cupped his fists to the three n Elders, and then quickly left. At this time, the Furth Elder suddenly said, ¡°This kid is acting strangely. He can¡¯t be thinking that he has a chance to recover his strength, right?¡± ¡°How is this possible? He spent close to a million silver taels in his three days of cultivation and hasn¡¯t shown any signs of recovering at all. How could a mere two million silver taels be enough to recover?¡± ¡°This kid probably has a grudge against us. We need him to be nurtured. Now that he has lost his cultivation, we can kick him away. He must have some grudges in his heart.¡± ¡°Could it be that we have to continue investing in him so that he can recover his strength? Don¡¯t you understand the meaning behind that senior¡¯s words? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that senior¡¯s meaning is that Ye Xuan can recover his strength, but he will need a huge price to pay. This price is not something our Ye n can bear. Two mere Spirit Gathering Pills are absolutely impossible to obtain!¡± Hearing the four n elders¡¯ conversation, Ye Zhang could only helplessly sigh. After all, Ye Xuan was his nephew, the son of his own biological brother. His brother had left the Ye n for a few years and still hadn¡¯t returned yet. After leaving the Ye n''s main hall, Ye Xuan went straight back to his own residence. Right now, he had long been abandoned by the Ye n. After that, he started packing his stuff. At this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly shed in. ¡°Young Master, why are you packing?¡± An elegant voice entered Ye Xuan¡¯s ears. When Ye Xuan turned around, he realized that Liu¡¯er had walked in.
Chapter 5 - Are You Coming With Me?
Chapter 5: Are You Coming With Me? ¡°Liu¡¯er, I wanted to go out and look for you. You better pack up too. Let¡¯s leave the Ye Caln!¡± Ye Xuan said to Liu¡¯er. ¡°Leave the Ye Family? Why?¡± Liu¡¯er was obviously not able to react and asked in surprise. ¡°I am currently unable to cultivate." He smiled bitterly. "I''ve also been rejected by the Ye n. Liu¡¯er, are you going to with me?¡± Ye Xuan stopped what he was doing. Liu¡¯er was brought back by Ye Xuan''s father. At that time, Liu¡¯er was still a child, and Ye Xuan was only three years old. They grew up together, so their rtionship was extremely close. However, Ye Xuan treated Liu¡¯er as his own sister, and so did Liu¡¯er. Hearing Ye Xuan¡¯s words, Liu¡¯er was also stunned, immediately after, herrge eyes became teary, and she said while crying, ¡°Why are they like that? The Young Master is already like this and they still want to drive the Young Master away ¡­¡± Ye Xuan was also helpless. Liu¡¯er had been very obedient since she was young, but she had a small weakness, which was that she loved to cry. Helpless, he walked over and caressed Liu¡¯er¡¯s hair, saying, ¡°No, Young Master left by his own choice. Liu¡¯er, do you believe in Young Master?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Liu¡¯er nodded obediently.
¡°Then we will leave. Young Master guarantees you that they will definitely beg me toe back!¡± Ye Xuan said solemnly. ¡°Young Master, I believe in you.¡± Liu¡¯er wiped away her tears and looked at Ye Xuan with her big hazy eyes. ¡°Then hurry up and pack up. If they go back on their word, then we won¡¯t be able to leave.¡± Ye Xuan lightly pinched Liu¡¯er¡¯s small face and said with a smile. ¡°Alright, Liu¡¯er will go now.¡± Liu¡¯er nodded and quickly left. Ye Xuan looked at her leaving figure, and could not help but sigh, and muttered, ¡°I hope these two Spirit Gathering Pills are useful, if not, we can only rely on these ten thousand silver taels for a lifetime.¡± He could be considered rich before, but he had spent a lot of silver taels in the past three days. Now, besides the two Spirit Gathering Pills, he only had ten thousand silver taels left. However, ten thousand taels of silver was enough for the two of them to live an ordinary life.
Soon enough, Liu¡¯er finished packing. Ye Xuan also did not bring many things with him as the two of them each carried a bag. Then, they left the Ye n. Along the way, there were quite a few members of the Ye n who saw them. It wouldn¡¯t take long for news of this to spread. Before leaving the Ye n, Ye Xuan had also made a n. They had ten thousand taels of silver taels right now, but normally, they did not even need one tael of silver to stay in an inn for a day. However, for convenience¡¯s sake, Ye Xuan also bought a small mansion, which cost him one hundred silver. They only had two people, so they didn¡¯t need to live in arge residence. After that, Ye Xuan gave Liu¡¯er some silver, and told her to go out to buy some necessities, while he himself stayed in the house, ready to give the cultivation a try again. Ye Xuan took out the jade bottle that Yu Jin gave him and opened it. ¡°A Spirit Gathering Pill worth one million silver taels? Let me see your effects!¡± Ye Xuan took one out and threw it into his mouth. Without chewing, he swallowed it. He didn¡¯t have any spiritual energy in his body right now, so he couldn¡¯t help to refine it. He could only wait for the pill to digest itself. Not long after, Ye Xuan felt a warm feeling gush out from his body, and then, a strand of spirit energy emerged. Immediately, he started to channel the Ye n¡¯s martial arts and started to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill. His spiritual power grew more and more.
This time, Ye Xuan was smarter. He did not let the spirit force flow into his Dantian. Previously, the moment he had spiritual energy, it would be absorbed by his dantian, causing him to be absorbed by the golden ball. Now, as long as he continuously circted his martial arts, he could continuously generate Spirit Qi. In about ten minutes, Ye Xuan could feel arge amount of spirit energy circting in his body, most of it condensed from the effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill. ¡°It¡¯s about time. Go and see how much you can absorb!¡± Ye Xuan made some calctions in his heart, then he controlled his Spirit Qi and channeled it bit by bit into his Dantian. This Spirit Gathering Pill was worth over a million silver taels each. The Spirit Qi in his body was probably many times more than it was during his peak condition. Of course, this spiritual energy wasn¡¯t his. It was just that the Spirit Gathering Pill absorbed the heaven and earth origin energy and quickly condensed it. As long as time passed, this spiritual energy would dissipate. Therefore, Spirit Gathering Pills were usually used to break through. Moreover, they were only used for those above the sixth stage of martial arts. After three days of constant failures, Ye Xuan had figured out a principle. The golden ball in his dantian was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing spirit energy.
Thus, this time, he wanted to fill up this golden ball. Ten Percent! Twenty Percent! Thirty Percent! The spirit energy in Ye Xuan¡¯s body was constantly flowing into his dantian before it was absorbed by the golden ball. His heart was also extremely nervous as he was already prepared to consume the second Spirit Gathering Pill. However, when half of the Spiritual Energy was gathered, the golden ball in his Dantian suddenly trembled. ¡°It moved, it moved!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s emotions could not calm down, because this was the second time this golden ball had trembled in three days. The first time was when he took the two Spirit Gathering Pills. Sixty Percent! Seventy Percent! When he used up seventy percent of his spiritual energy, the golden ball trembled once more. Eighty Percent! Ny Percent! The golden ball trembled once again! Ye Xuan was excited, he controlled thest ten percent of the spirit force to enter his Dantian, at the same time preparing to take the second Spirit Gathering Pill. When thest ten percent of the spiritual energy entered his dantian, suddenly, the golden ball inside his dantian trembled again. This was the most violent vibration in history. Ye Xuan screamed miserably, he felt as if his own Dantian had been pierced by a needle, it was extremely scorching. However, in the next moment, his brow suddenly rxed. This was because he discovered that there were some changes urring within his body. ¡°Ha¡­ My cultivation level is starting to recover¡­¡± Ye Xuan could not help but exim out loud, he endured the pain and revealed a smile. The Heavens did not disappoint those who were considerate. He finally began to recover his strength! First level of the Martial Way¡­ Second level of the Martial Way¡­ Third level of the Martial Way¡­ Fourth level of the Martial Way¡­ Originally, Ye Xuan¡¯s cultivation realm was at the early fourth stage, but now, he had already crossed this threshold and reached the middle fourth stage of the martial way. And it was still rising! ¡°What¡­ What is going on? My strength actually increased?¡± Ye Xuan was a little confused. In his astonishment, he had already broken through the fourthyer of the middle stage, the Fourth Peak Level of the Martial Way. And it was still rising!
Chapter 6 - Devouring System
Chapter 6: Devouring System ¡°How is this possible? What¡¯s going on? Could it be that the spiritual energy I condensed earlier was absorbed by the golden ball and suddenly exploded?¡± Such a thought shed across Ye Xuan¡¯s mind. It was possible, he thought. He had taken pills worth a million silver taels before, and now with the addition of the Spirit Gathering Pill, it was possible for him to jump two levels at once. After all, the Spirit Gathering Pill was a Dan that could be used to break through the sixth stage of the Martial Way and above. ¡°Heavens, I¡¯m actually at the fifth stage of the Martial Way¡­". At this time, the environment in his body had also stabilized, and his realm had stabilized at the early stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Way. He felt incredulous. The matter had happened too suddenly, so he wasn¡¯t prepared in his heart. Originally, he did not have any spirit energy at all. However, not only had he recovered his strength, he had even gone a step further and broke through to the fifth stage of the Martial Way. However, Ye Xuan didn¡¯t think too much about it. In any case, he had already climbed from the abyss of trash to the peak of geniuses. If a fifteen-year-old at the fourth level of the Martial Way was the number one genius in the Ye n, then wouldn¡¯t his current fifth level of the Martial Dao be the number one in Cloud Merge City? One would have to know that it gets harder and harder to cultivate to the tenth stage of the Martial Way. In the history of Cloud Merge City, the youngest person to breakthrough to the early stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Way by himself was also seventeen years old.
However, Ye Xuan, who was only fifteen years old, was two years ahead. ¡°Unlucky bastard, since I have already transmigrated into your world, I will live well for you.¡± Ye Xuan secretly said in his heart. In the next moment, he helplessly shook his head and muttered, ¡°However, where exactly is this golden ball from? Why is it still inside my Dantian?¡± The ce where cultivators stored their spirit energy was in their Dantian. A hole in their Dantian would cause spirit energy to leak out. Although Ye Xuan''s meridians could also store spirit energy in other ces, it was still a small amount. Even if all his meridians added up together, it would not be worth more than a fifth of his Dantian. Just as Ye Xuan was startled, another burst of intense pain came from his Dantian. This painsted for an entire 10 seconds, and then, a series of strange sounds sounded out in Ye Xuan¡¯s mind. "Ding!"
¡°The Devouring System has fused with the Dantian. The Devouring System has been sessfully activated!¡± ¡°Initial testing for host¡¯s health ¡­¡± ¡®Ding¡­ light injury, beginning treatment¡­" ¡°Healingplete!¡± Following these strange noises, the pain that Ye Xuan felt disappeared silently. When Ye Xuan regained his senses, he realized that his own Dantian had disappeared and was reced by that golden ball. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is my Dantian gone¡­¡± Ye Xuan was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. Previously, he still had his Dantian, but it was damaged and he couldn¡¯t store spirit energy inside it. Now, however, his Dantian was gone and it was reced by the golden ball. At the same time, after his Dantian disappeared, the recovered spiritual energy was once again absorbed by the golden ball. ¡°No¡­ I don¡¯t want to be an ordinary person again¡­¡± Ye Xuan shouted loudly. However, he suddenly realized that his cultivation did not drop. ¡°Could it be that this golden ball is my Dantian, and from now on, the spiritual energy will be stored inside?¡±
Such a thought shed across Ye Xuan¡¯s mind. He frowned. Sure enough, a trace of spiritual power surged out from the golden ball. This was truly his Dantian, the golden Dantian! But a Dantian formed by a golden ball, what was the difference between this and an ordinary Dantian? Ye Xuan suddenly thought of another question. He had clearly heard a strange voice just now. ¡°The Devouring System merged with the Dantian¡­ What the hell is this Devouring System? Could it be this golden ball?¡± Ye Xuan suddenly revealed an expression of enlightenment. Was this the benefit of his transmigration? Immediately, he shouted in his mind, ¡°Devouring System!¡± Sure enough, some extraordinary things appeared in his mind. ¡°Normally, there would be a mysterious cultivation technique or system after I transmigrated. It seems like my luck is not bad and I won¡¯t be true trash for a long time. So, this is the benefit of transmigrating. This golden ball is the Devouring System. ¡± Ye Xuan was pleasantly surprised, and when he finished reading the description of the Devouring System, his eyebrows twitched, and he continued to mutter, ¡°Good stuff, what a good thing! It can actually devour everything and transform it into spiritual energy. This is much easier than cultivation!¡± The Devouring System, as its name implied, relied on devouring to increase its power. Ye Xuan still had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn¡¯t think much about it. He immediately got off the bed and used his right hand to pick up a vase on the table.
¡°The reward for devouring this item is zero. Host, are you sure you want to devour this item?¡± These words resounded in his mind. ¡°Zero profit?¡± Ye Xuan was a little helpless, this was clearly discrimination, so what if it was a vase? ¡°Confirmed!¡± Ye Xuan replied in his heart. ¡°The host¡¯s position isn¡¯t right, it can¡¯t be swallowed!¡± The system prompted. ¡°Wrong posture? Could it be that you want me to swallow it? ¡± Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, then really brought the small vase to his mouth, opened his mouth wide and inhaled, sitting there. A strange thing happened. ck energy wrapped itself around the vase, and soon after, the vase began to shrink before being sucked into its mouth. Ye Xuan was so scared that he almost died, he quickly covered his throat and coughed twice. ¡°No¡­ No way, if I really swallow the vase, can I digest it?¡± Ye Xuan was extremely shocked. If he were to use this move, it would definitely shock the entire world. At this time, the System''s Prompt Tone sounded in his mind again. ¡°What the fxck! It didn¡¯t give anything as expected¡­ It seems like I need to eat some Dan or something precious¡­¡± Ye Xuan suddenly remembered that he still had a Spirit Gathering Pill on him that was worth millions of silver. He put it to his mouth right away and muttered in his heart, ¡°Devour it!¡± This Spirit Gathering Pill was the same size as the vase and was sucked into Ye Xuan¡¯s mouth. ¡°Host, you have sessfully consumed a Spirit Gathering Pill. You will receive a bit of Devouring Points!¡± The Spirit Gathering Pill was sessfully swallowed and transformed into arge amount of Spirit Qi that was sent to Ye Xuan. ¡°Holy shxt, a Spirit Gathering Pill is worth a million silver, and it is normally used to help the sixth stage Martial Dao Warrior breakthrough, but now, you aren¡¯t even going to give me a rank up?¡± Ye Xuan was helpless. He estimated that he would need at least another Spirit Gathering Pill to break through to the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Way. Right now, Ye Xuan had already discovered two drawbacks of the Devouring System. Firstly, he couldn¡¯t cultivate normally, and secondly, he needed to devour arge number of things.
Chapter 7 - Liuer Has An Accident
Chapter 7: Liu''er Has An ident There is one good thing regarding the Devouring System''s method. So long as he''s able to devour, he''d level up without the fear of going berserk. Speaking of which, there was the new term that popped up his head recently. It was the Devour Points. "Devouring Points¡­ What is the Devouring Points?" Ye Xuan questioned surprisingly. The Spirit Gather Pill he consumed not too long ago was worth one million silver, an extremely preciousmodity. However, he only obtained far too little points. What was the use of these points to begin with? "Devouring Points can be exchanged for Martial Arts Skills, Bloodlines, Divine Weapons, Treasures, etc.¡­" Without waiting for Ye Xuan, a list appeared in his mind. His eyes squinted and leaned over for a closer look. A Level 5 Martial Art Skills only required a bit of Devouring Points. "Tiger Roar Fist¡­ Falling Goose Leg¡­ Thunderbolt Sword Technique¡­" Ye Xuan could not help but mutter the words he said. What he''s just seen we''re all Level 5 Martial Arts Skill, each worth millions of silver.
"System, how do I get Devouring Points?" "The host can absorb precious materials and gain points in return." Hearing this, Ye Xuan''s eyes lit up. He''d just devoured the Spirit Gathering Pill worth over a million silver and garnered a few Devouring Points. If he were to exchange this point for a sess rate of devouring materials and skills, then teach the skill to others for m, would he not be wealthy? If he''s to use that earned money in exchange for precious materials to level up, would he not be invincible? However, in the next moment, he suddenly remembered something. Though a Level 5 cultivation technique was precious, not many were able to get their hands on it for one reason alone: theycked sufficient ie. In Cloud Merge City, other than the Four Large ns, who could afford to spend several hundred thousands of silver taels in one go?
? W o r dE x c e r p t
"Sigh¡­" Ye Xuan shook his head in disappointment but was soon reced a filling sense of excitement. His eyes lit up. Right¡­ His Devouring Points could be exchanged for a cultivation technique. Amongst the items avable, there was a category called "Bloodlines" that attracted his attention. "The bloodline of a Beast King¡­ A superior bloodline¡­ Can make all beasts submit to the owner¡­ Increases the toughness of the body¡­" "Bloon Clone Bloodline¡­ A top-tier bloodline¡­ Can absorb the blood of others to grow¡­ Can transform into a bat¡­ " "Wolf Bloodline¡­ Top tier bloodline¡­ Increases toughness of the body¡­ Ability to transform into a werewolf¡­ Bathing under the moonlight increases the ability to¡­" "Sea Dragon Bloodline¡­ Top tier bloodline¡­ Increases overall toughness of the body¡­ Can transform into a sea dragon¡­" "Golden Titan Bloodline¡­ Top tier bloodline¡­ Strengthened physical abilities and body¡­ Ability to transform into a Titan¡­"
¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Looking at the bloodlines avable for purchase, Ye Xuan staggered back, mouth parted slightly, unable to say anything. What he bore witness to was shocking, to say the least. There were even Divine Bloodlines: Azure Dragon Bloodline, White Tiger Bloodline, Vermillion Phoenix Bloodline, ck Tortoise Bloodline, Qilin Bird Bloodline¡­ In addition, he also saw the bloodline of the Asura War God, the bloodline of the Demon King¡­ And¡­ And many other bloodlines shocking to the world. Ye Xuan coveted them, but the moment his eyes saw the price of the bloodlines, his eyes rolled back, blood spurting from his nose. He could only see many zeros. He dared not look any more at the Divine Bloodlines and quickly switched over to the bloodlines he was able to afford. "Chasing Wind Leopard Bloodline¡­ Low tier bloodline¡­ Increases running speed¡­" "Hundred Beast Bloodline¡­ Low tier bloodline¡­ Strengthens the body¡­ Strength of a hundred beasts¡­" "Hundred Blossom Bloodline¡­ Low tier bloodline¡­ Increases regenerative abilities¡­ Immune to poisons¡­"
There were far too many low-leveled bloodlines, yet, he, Ye Xuan, could not even afford to purchase one single low tiered bloodline. He only had too few Devouring Points. "It looks like I''ll need to continue devouring to gain more points¡­" The Hundred Blossom Bloodline was what piqued his interest. He''d be immune to poisons. He''d no longer be afraid of the slight chance of foes attempting to poison him. Just as Ye Xuan pondered the ways to level up, a figure suddenly pushed open the courtyard door and walked inside in rather hurried mess. Logically speaking, Liu''er should not have returned so quickly, but she did. She looked wronged too. "Young Master¡­" After entering the courtyard, Liu''er tightened her clothing and softly called out Ye Xuan. Though Ye Xuan had not known this girl for long, he could make out some clues. She seemed to have sets of tears coursing down her cheeks as she hurried back home. Her body was ragged and dirty too, with slight wounds on her body. It was apparent she''d been beaten up. Ye Xuan immediately strode forward and grabbed Liu''er''s shoulder. "Liu''er, what''s going on? Who bullied you?" "No¡­ No¡­ no one bullied me, Young Master¡­" Liu''er shook her head vehemently. "It was Liu''er who identally fell when she entered the door¡­" "Nonsense! Tell me who hurt you!" Ye Xuan''s eyes widened. He immediately pulled open the cor of her robes. Sure enough, there were some scratches on her shoulders, which seemed to be from a woman''s fingernails. How could he believe Liu''er''s nonsense? Thetter''s body was bruised ck and blue. It could not have been a stone that scratched her, right? "Liu''er, tell me!" Ye Xuan''s countenance turned cold. Liu''er who''d cried just recently felt Ye Xuan''s angry roar and deep-seated care for her. When she thought back to what happened, tears immediately flew out while she threw herself into Ye Xuan''s warm embrace. "Liu''er just went out, trying to pick out a piece of clothing for Young Master. Who knows that on the way there I''d meet Chen Mei. She said the Young Master was trash. Liu''er grew furious and¡­" Liu''er said with tears streaming down her cheeks. "And then?" Ye Xuan''s expression grew colder. "And then she hit me," Liu''er stammered, "Tore my clothes to shreds, and threw out it out in the streets." What? Ye Xuan''s cold face sank. He immediately asked, "This Chen Mei has guts. Who is she?" Liu''er wiped her tears. "She is the servant of the Young Master from the Chen n." Chen n? Young Master? Chen Song? Ye Xuan had a vague impression of this person. This Chen Song was two years older than him. His cultivation was at the fourth middle stage of the Martial Dao (Way). He could be considered a top figure. "This Chen Song was also present at the time?" Ye Xuan questioned. Liu''er nodded her head lightly. "When Chen Mei beat me up, he was eating inside Drunken House Restaurant. Luckily, the city guards were passing by, otherwise¡­" "Alright, I understand." Ye Xuan suppressed the ming anger in his heart and gently caressed Liu''er''s hair. Cloud Merge City had four top ns. Other than the Ye and Lin n, there also exists the Chen n and the City Lord''s Pce''s Wu n. The Chen n''s strength could not be underestimated, but even so, Ye Xuan had to take revenge. This little girl had been by his side for so long. Even when he fell to his lowest, she stayed. What kind of a man would he be if he stood idle? "Young Master, you don''t need to go¡­" Liu''er was a little worried, but before she could finish, Ye Xuan caressed her hair and smiled softly. "It''s fine. Young Master already recovered his strength. My cultivation is even deeper now." "Ah? Young Master¡­ your dantian¡­?" Liu''er''s eyes widened in shock. "Yes, it''s already repaired. Liu''er, you stay at home, all right? Young Master will be back soon." Ye Xuan said before leaving.
Chapter 8 - Isnt He a Waste?
Chapter 8: Isn''t He a Waste? In Ye Xuan''s perception, bullying Liu''er was equivalent to bullying him. He swore to return the sufferings Liu''er faced in twofold! His eyes were cold as he walked towards Drunken House. He heard Chen Song liked to frequent in Drunken House far too often. If nothing unexpected urred, he should have no troubles finding him. Not long after, Ye Xuan found himself at the front door of the restaurant called ''Drunken House.'' Before he''d the chance to explore the inside, Ye Xuan heard a burst of carefreeughter ringing from the second floor. Fortunately, Ye Xuan had the chance of seeing Chen Song before. The voice on the second floor was familiar. Thisughter, it no doubt belongs to Chen Song. Then¡­ the unexpected urrence happened. The voice of the person Chen Song conversed with was also a familiar figure Ye Xuan met in the past. The other party was Ye Zhang''s son and Ye Xuan''s cousin, Ye Kai! Ye Kai was of the same age as Chen Song at the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao. Note: Dao means ''The Way.''
"This Ye Kai, when did he cozy up to Chen Song?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself curiously before heading upstairs. The second floor of Drunken House was allocated with many private rooms. His ear perked up, finding the source of the voice, but before he had the chance, Chen Song''s loud voice rung through the air. "Ha-ha-ha! Never would have I think to believe that after that trash Ye Xuan got his dantian destroyed, the Lin n would immediately break off their engagement. That damned old man Lin Ming, when my father proposed the idea of marriage, he actually ignored him!" "I also never would have thought it possible either. Who asked for that unlucky Ye Xuan to lose all his cultivation?! But that Lin Xue''er is quite the mysterious one. She''s said to be an extreme beauty. If I could marry her, it''d be great." "Aiya~ Brother Ye, be careful what you say. She''s already epted as a disciple of a mysterious and power sect. Her prospects are limitless!" "What''s there to be afraid of? I heard that Lin Xue''er had already left Cloud Merge City. Could it be that she''ll hear our conversation from afar?"
"Be careful not to speak negatively of a ship capable of overlooking the world. Anyways, let''s talk about this trash, Ye Xuan. Brother Ye might not know this, but just now, not too long ago, when my servant saw that trash''s servant, she ruthlessly humiliated the trash''s servant. To be honest, that piece of trash, Ye Xuan, actually has a stroke of pretty good luck. He has such pretty maid, yet he doesn''t even know how to treasure what he has--" Chen Song had yet to finish his sentence, because right after, Ye Xuan, who stood right outside the door, could no longer sit idly by so kicked open the door. ng! The door could not withstand the kick of a fifth stage Martial Dao, and so, the door immediately fell and smashed into the dining table. "How dare you!? Who is it that dares to cause troubles?!" Chen Song, who was in the room, jumped out of his chair. Just as he reacted, he saw someone rushing quickly in front him to grab his throat and lift him in the air. Who was so bold as to grab tightly onto the neck of the Chen n''s Young Master? Ye Ka was so shocked that when he saw the person''s face, his mouth drooped to the ground that it looked like it could fit a dozen chicken eggs.
Was not the person who rushed into the room the trash they were speaking of just now? "You¡­ You deserve to die!" Ye Xuan''s eyes surged with cold iciness. With a furious roar, he pped Chen Song hard. Pow! The p was thunderous and heavy. Chen Song covered his face with the palm of his hand. He was startled to death, unable to react to the person''s resounding p. "Ye Xuan, what are you doing?!" Ye Kai shouted anxiously. "Put down Brother Chen!" What?
When Chen Song heard these words, he was utterly stunned. The person who gripped his throat tightly and lifted him high was actually Ye Xuan, the person they called ''trash''? The Ye Xuan who could not withstand his bitter hardship that he drove to the edge ofmitting suicide? That Ye Xuan? How¡­ How is this possible? "Ugh¡­ Ye¡­ Ye Xuan¡­ You¡­" Chen Song stammered, unable to speak out his words as he struggled to breathe. "Do you want to die?" Ye Xuan questioned, tightening his grip on Chen Song''s neck. At this moment, a cold, deathly aura emanated from Ye Xuan. There was no hint of emotions written on his face, only that he looked as if sculpted from ice itself. And somehow, Chen Song subconsciously shook his head. Furthermore, he was a stage higher than Ye Xuan, but after seeing this ''trash'' in person, a growing sense of timidity overcame his self. "You can choose not to die, you''ll have to pay a heavy price," Ye Xuan said coldly. "Ye Xuan, stop!" Ye Kai shouted. As he shouted, Ye Kai immediately walked over with intents of stopping Ye Xuan in his tracks. "Get lost!" Ye Xuan nced over his shoulder. With a kick from the side, Ye Kai, who was in the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao, was pushed forcefully into the corner of the wall. Ye Kai raised his brows, confused. He and Ye Xuan were now at the same level. How could he be sent flying away with a single kick? At this time, Chen Song realized that he was a level higher than Ye Xuan. What should he do? Chen Song immediately used his free hand and punched towards Ye Xuan''s chest, but thereafter, the hand that locked his throat suddenly tightened. It forcibly squeezed out Chen Song''s strength. "Ugh¡­" Chen Song was unable to breathe. The strength he struck out at Ye Xuan''s chest decreased by a considerable margin. "What is it that you want to exactly? Do you want to kill people in Cloud Merge City?" Ye Kai hollered while ignoring the pain incurred. Chen Song was the nephew of the Chen n''s Patriarch. If anything were to happen to him, the Ye and Chen n would fight to the bitter death. "He''s not qualified to breathe!" As Ye Xuan spoke, his left hand pulled out a dagger from his chest. Holding the dagger, he flicked his wrist with an incredulous force. Hiss! A clear sound spread out. Chen Song''s clothings were instantly cut apart. Following that, Ye Xuan kicked out with his leg and sent Chen Song flying to another corner. After that, Ye Xuan took a stride forward. He waved a dagger around a few times and cut out Chen Song''s clothings, revealing the upper half of his body. Now¡­ Chen Song finally understood what Ye Xuan wanted to do. Earlier, his servant strip Liu''er of her clothes, and now, Ye Xuan will strip him of his clothes. "You''re courting death!" Chen Song gasped for breath and immediately crawled up from the ground. Shouting, he threw a punch at Ye Xuan. "Passing Fist Art! Rushing Bull!" Facing the punch, Ye Xuan neither moved or dodge. Instead, he used his left hand to block the blow. Now that he''d recovered his strength and reached the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, he could instantly gather arge amount of Qi Energy. Crack! A crisp sound resounded in the air. Chen Song''s arm was broken. "AHHH!!" Chen Song staggered back and crashed into the wall while letting out a heart-wrenching scream. Hiss! With Ye Xuan''s dagger, Chen Song''s pants were ripped apart, and with a heavy tug, his entire pants were no more. Right now, Chen Song only had his crotch left. "You, don''t act so recklessly! Do you want to be enemies with our Chen n?" Chen Song no longer thought of Ye Xuan''s sudden power and immediately threatened him using his backing. "Be an enemy? So what?" Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and kicked out again, ruthlessly stepping on Chen Song''s chest. This titanic strength, it caused thetter struggling to breathe out. Immediately after, Ye Xuan flicked the dagger again. Thest piece of clothing from Chen Song''s body was ripped off.
Chapter 9 - Losing Face
Chapter 9: Losing Face "Your servant wants to strip Liu''er naked. Today, I''ll strip you naked and throw you out in the streets!" As Ye Xuan finished speaking, he grabbed onto Chen Song''s legs with one hand, his grip ever so tight, and dragged Chen Song to the side of the window as Ye Kai bore witness to the scene. "Ye Xuan, don''t do anything rash! Do you want our Ye n to fight with the Chen n?" Ye Kai warned Ye Xuan anxiously. Were Ye Xuan to throw the naked Chen Song onto the streets, the Ye and Chen n would surely start a never-ending dispute. After all, this was rted to their reputation and face. If such a thing happened, how then would Chen Song establish himself in Cloud Merge City in the near future? Thetter had been beaten ck and blue by Ye Xuan. He was in a daze, unable to resist so he could only threaten Ye Xuan. "Ye Xuan, don''t do anything stupid! If you dare throw me don, my father will kill you! Definitely!" Chen Song had some slight status within the Chen n. His father was the younger brother of the Chen n''s Patriarch. Not to mention, the strength of Chen Song''s father was at the sixth stage of the Martial Dao. But Ye Xuan cared not for it. He was not afraid!
At this moment, Ye Xuan lifted Chen Song''s upper body out of the window. So long as he loosens his grip, he''d fall, his body revealing and without clothing. Chen Song trembled nonstop. He could no longer bother to cover up his naked body as he tightly grabbed onto Ye Xuan''s arms with one hand, albeit embarrassingly. On the main street, many people walked around minding their own business. Some began noticing themotion inside Drunken House''s second floor and immediately began crowding around the front entrance. "Look, look! Someone''s naked!" "Eh? Why do I feel like I''ve seen that naked young man before?" "Isn''t he the Chen n''s young master, Chen Song? He often eats inside Drunken House." "What? Chen Song? Who was it that had the guts to take off all his clothes and hang him outside the window?"
The streets boiled with heated gossips. At least a hundred or so crowds stopped what they were doing to watch the scene. Chen Song was now famous within the city whether he wanted it or not. "Don''t let go, don''t let go! It''s not toote to pull me back!" Chen Song nced down below. He was not afraid of falling. After all, he was at the fourth stage of the Martial Dao. If he''s to fall four to five meters down, he''d only walk away with slight injuries. What he was afraid of instead was humiliation. "Hehe, it''s toote!" Ye Xuan relished in Chen Song''s suffering while revealing a sly smile. Slowly, he pulled Chen Song back inside. Chen Song was thrilled, but in the next moment, he fell into an utter abyss of despair. Ye Xuan''s foot kicked his chest! What? Chen Song''s jaw dropped. He thought with all his heart Ye Xuan had enough and tried to pull him back. He did not expect he''d kick his chest instead. "Ye Xuan, you''re courting death!" Chen Song screeched loudly as he flew away.
Plop! Not long after, Chen Song''s smooth body fiercely smashed onto the ground. The colossal impact caused him to spurt out a mouthful of blood. However, what is a physical injurepared to a mental one? The current him just so happened tond in front of the crowd. After falling, his consciousness blurred. In addition to the injuries incurred, he had not the slightest energy to recover his strength; thus, he was seen clearly by the crowd huddled around him, unable to escape. "Ah¡­" A few who watched Chen Song from the sidelines let out a sharp scream seeing his skin a porcin white, skin as fair as a woman''s jade-like skin.
Chen Song knew that his name had spread throughout the entire Cloud Merge City, but what he did not know was that it was more resounding and talked about as Ye Xuan''s. "It''s over¡­ It''s over¡­ the Ye and Chen n are going to war. Ye Xuan stripped of Chen Song''s dignity. The two ns are going to fight this time!" "What the heck is going on? Was it not said that Ye Xuan angered the heavens and punished him by crippling his dantian?" "That is fake news. How can a cripple lift Chen Song and send him flying away with a kick? "That''s not right either. I heard that this Chen Song is in the fourth middle stage of the Martial Dao. It is also said that he''ll soon break through the peak stage." "Impossible! This Chen Song is one of the Chen n''s four prodigies. How can he be a paper tiger?" Note: Paper tiger is a literal English trantion of the Chinese phrase zhohu (Ö½ÀÏ»¢£¯¼ˆÀÏ»¢). The term refers to something that seems threatening but is ineffectual and unable to withstand challenge. As the onlookers discussed amongst one another in hushed voice, another voice resounded from the sky above. Soon, another figure descended from the sky, his bodynding on the ground painfully. However, this time, it was a fully clothed person. Plop! This person smashed onto the side of Chen Song who was in a daze. "Hey, isn''t this the Ye n''s Ye Kai?" "Good heavens! What''s going on with Ye Xuan? Not only did he beat up the Chen n''s Chen Song, he even beat Ye Kai, a member of his own n!" "Weird. Are not the Ye and Chen n foes? Howe Ye Kai mixed himself in with Chen Song?" The surrounding crowd grew more curious. They began discussing theories one after another. It was hot gossip. However, things weren''t over yet. After Chen Song and Ye Kai''s fall, another figure rushed out of the second floor. But this time, this figure did not fall t on the ground; instead, hended gently on both feet. This figure was Ye Xuan who''d just recently thrown out Chen Song and Ye Kai. "If youmit an unforgivable sin, might as wellmit suicide!" Ye Xuan snorted, then left without looking back. "It really is Ye Xuan!" Eximed a stranger from amongst the crowd who recognized him. ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ After leaving Drunken House, Ye Xuan headed straight home. He knew the events that ured today would lose control. He knew what the end results would turn into, but he had no regrets. Liu''er was not only his servant, but also like his own sister. How could he bear to see his sister bullied while he does nothing? However, he did gain benefits while face pping Chen Song. The Chen n raised Chen Song meticulously. Surely he''d have many good things hidden in his body, and sure enough, as he stripped him bare, Ye Xuan plundered from Chen Song two swords and bottles of Dan. Immediately, Ye Xuan walked towards the small alley and carefully sized up the two treasured swords. "Not bad, not bad. These two swords seem to be low-grade mortal weapons. I wonder how much my cultivation will rise after devouring these." As Ye Xuan thought about it swallowing the treasured sword. The sword was a good time, at least worth a hundred thousand silver. It''d surely give rise to Ye Xuan''s cultivation level. "I never thought that I''d be able to swallow a sword in one go." Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly. He had no idea that from today onwards, he would be devouring and swallowing others weapons while fighting. Future Ye Xuan: "Don''t provoke, or else I''ll devour your divine sword!" After swallowing the sword, Ye Xuan shifted his attention to the three bottles of Dan. These three bottles were extremely valuable and cost at least two hundred silvers. ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ To Be Continued¡­ To get real time chapter updates and a chance for a mass release, join us on our Discord Server.

Chapter 10 - Leaving This Place
Chapter 10: Leaving This ce The three bottles of Dan were all engulfed by Ye Xuan without difficulties. He estimated that he¡¯d only need few goods worth around 500,000 silver taels to break through the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. But it¡¯s a pity that though there were many things he could devour, the system found them useless, so he did not receive any points from devouring useless things. Right now, he was one step closer to breaking through the fifth middle stage. Once he breaks through, he¡¯d be able to sweep the entire Chen n¡¯s younger generation in one swop. This kind of talent could only be counted on one hand, even in the entire Splitting Cloud Sect. If he were allowed to enter the sect, he¡¯d receive apt attention and resources to nurture his growth well. However, 500,000 silver taels was not a small amount. He had only gotten a total of 20,000 silver taels from Chen Song and Ye Kai, a meager amount. After all, there was no need to bring too much silver taels with them while going out for a stroll. ¡°Well, this isn¡¯t bad either. As long as I have the money and resources, I can level up as many times. It¡¯ll be much easier whenpared to the normal path of cultivation.¡± Ye Xuan muttered softly. Ye Kai held onto the treasure sword and went back home. Previously, that unlucky ghost¡¯s dantian was destroyed and he lost all his cultivation. In a desperate effort to recover his cultivation base, Ye Xuan threw and sold away all his belonging, including the sword he snatched from Ye Kai. Truthfully speaking, the sword belonged to him. Ye Xuan had his own ns for the future, and he¡¯d need to use the sword, so he did not devour it. As for Chen Song¡¯s mess, well, he¡¯d have to clean up the mess.
¡­ ¡­ ¡­ On the way back home, Ye Xuan bought a lot of things. He needed to leave Cloud Merge City for a short period. ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re back.¡± Liu¡¯er walked out of the house.
¡°Mnn. Young Master has already avenged you. The sufferings you faced was not for naught. I took off all of Chen Song¡¯s clothing and threw him out on the streets.¡± Ye Xuan smiled. When she heard this, Liu¡¯er¡¯s thin lips parted. Ye Xuan was only gone for half an hour, yet he¡¯d already taken his revenge? ¡°Young Master¡­¡± Liu¡¯er¡¯s eyes instantly became moist. Probably, only Ye Xuan, this Young Master, would dare to strip Chen Song and kick him out on the streets.
¡°Sigh¡­ Liu¡¯er, you¡¯re crying again. This isn¡¯t a big deal.¡± Ye Xuan caressed Liu¡¯er¡¯s silky hair. Then, he pulled out a small jade bottle from his bosom. ¡°This is healing medicine. Liu¡¯er, use this to tend to your wounds. Also, I brought quite a few things with me. Remember not to go out for the next few days.¡± Though Liu¡¯er was only a child, she was not stupid. Anxiously, she asked, ¡°Young Master, where are you going?¡± ¡°I need to leave Cloud Merge City for a bit. We have no one to rely on right now, so I want to contact my father¡¯s friend.¡± Ye Xuan said slowly. He lied. This was the only good reason he came up with. Though truth be told, he was not going out to look for someone, but to gain experience. He only had 30,000 silver taels in total and Ye Kai¡¯s treasured sword. Therefore, he nned to go out and hunt some Demon Beast to sell for precious materials. ¡°Liu¡¯er will go with you too,¡± Liu¡¯er replied worriedly. ¡°Liu¡¯er, don¡¯t be afraid. Young Master has already recovered his strength. In fact, I¡¯m even stronger now! I¡¯ll be back in a while. Remember, while I¡¯m gone, you must not go out.¡±
For an ordinary girl like Liu¡¯er, staying in the city was much safer. Moreover, the mansion he bought was secluded and there were not many pedestrians. Thus, her safety should be fine. ¡°Alright, then, Liu¡¯er will wait for you here. Young Master, you must be careful.¡± Liu¡¯er knew she¡¯d only prove to be a burden to Ye Xuan, so she did not force him to take her with him. If something dangerous were to happen on the way, Ye Xuan would protect her. It was equivalent to carrying extra baggage in his back. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll be going. I¡¯ll be back home as soon as possible.¡± Ye Xuan repeated as he stroked Liue ''er¡¯s head. Liu¡¯er nodded and waved at Ye Xuan, her small face revealing a look of reluctance. ¡°Young Master, you have toe back quickly¡­¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Then, Ye Xuan left. ¡­ ¡­ ¡­
After leaving his residence, Ye Xuan headed to the stabled and bought a good horse. As he was going out to train and gain experience, he only brought 10,000 silver taels with hem. The remaining 20,000 was given to Liu¡¯er. He then went out to the street market and bought things he¡¯d need to train before hurriedly leaving Cloud Merge City. He reckoned the Ye n would search for him day and night throughout the entire Cloud Merge City. After all, he stripped Chen Song, who was at the fourth middle stage of the Martial Dao, naked before throwing him out on the streets. This could only mean one thing: his cultivation base had been restored. ¡°Hyahhh!¡± Ye Xuan mounted his horse and galloped off into the distance. Though he¡¯d never ridden a horse before transmigrating to this world, Ye Xuan could be considered lucky. That unlucky ghost knew how to ride a horse. He was journeying to the ce called Eighteen Cloud Mountain Range. In that ce, there resides countless Demon Beasts. Ye Xuan was currently in the early fifth stage of the Martial Dao. So long as he does note across a Demon Beasts of the sixth stage or higher, he should be fine. Furthermore, the more powerful Demon Beasts in the Eighteen Cloud Mountain Range was located in the inner mountain ranges. Ye Xuan only nned to train at the outskirts of the mountain range. He spent more than a day traveling before finally arriving at the entrance of Eighteen Cloud Mountain Range at dusk. This ce was one of the best ces to train here. Many people journey to this ce to train; however, because it was night, there weren¡¯t many people outside. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I should go to rest. I¡¯ll go in tomorrow.¡± Ye Xuan thought for a while before sitting down to rest under a tree to take the time to practice his martial skill. This body was, after all, the number one genius from the Ye n. The martial arts skill he trained was of high ranking. But Ye Xuan was only an ordinary man who transmigrated over to this dog eat dog world. He did not know anything, much less a high ranking martial arts skill. However, after a few sets of practice along with thebat techniques that unlucky ghost had, he could consider his battle prowess not bad at all. The next day, he woke up before dawn and entered Eighteen Cloud Mountain Range. Soon as he went in, Ye Xuan came across a green-skinned wild boar. ording to his memories, this Demon Beast was called the Green-Haired Pig. Its strength was at the second level, equivalent to a cultivator at the second stage of the Martial Dao. ¡°Tch! A single punch will send you to your grave.¡± Ye Xuan did not pull out his sword and directly smashed his fist onto the Green-Haired Pig Demon Beat, sending it to face death early on. ¡°There are ten stages in the Martial Dao. Each stage can increase the strength of a cultivator by 100 jin. A casual punch of mine has the strength of 600 - 700 jin. In addition to the boost from the Level 2 Martial Arts Back Connecting Fist, I should be able to kill a Demon Beast at third level or below with one punch!¡±
Chapter 11 - Rapid Improvement
Chapter 11: Rapid Improvement ¡°There are ten stages in the Martial Dao. Each stage can increase the strength of a cultivator by 100 jin. A casual punch of mine has a strength of 600 - 700 jin. In addition to the boost from the Level 2 Martial Arts Back Connecting Fist, I should be able to kill a Demon Beast at third level or below with one punch!¡± Ye Xuan said as he prepared to leave. The Green-Haired Pig had nothing of value. The entire corpse was worth no more than ten silver taels. However, at this time, Ye Xuan¡¯s footsteps suddenly stopped and slowly, he muttered, ¡°The Devouring System can devour everything¡­ Can this Demon Beast¡¯s corpse also be devoured?¡± Ye Xuan turned back around, squatted down, and opened his mouth, ready to swallow. Sure enough, the Green-Haired Pig¡¯s body began to shrivel up as it was being devoured by him. ¡°Oh? I can devour and reap benefits from its Qi Energy. Haha! Then¡­ wouldn¡¯t I be able to level up if I were to kill Demon Beasts crazily?¡± Ye Xuan was overjoyed. This was another way for him to level up. However, this Green-Haired Pig¡¯s level was too low, so the Devouring System said nothing, causing Ye Xuan to be unable to calcte whether this corpse could be sold for money or he devours it directly. He did not know which one would be more cost-effective. However, direct devourment of the Demon Beast seemed more convenient.
¡°Sigh¡­ Devouring anything with my mouth is still quite shocking. If someone were to see me do this, I¡¯m afraid that they¡¯d treat me as a monster and kill me from the get-go. It would be for the best that I earn more Devouring Points¡­ That way¡­ I can use my hands to devour in the future.¡± Ye Xuan shook his head and then continued on his way. Along the way, he checked the Devouring System and found many good things.
In addition to the cultivation techniques of this world, there were also some other things such as magic avable. However, these abilities required a specific bloodline like a mage¡¯s bloodline. Ye Xuan shook his head and forgot such thoughts. After all, this was just a fantasy world he found himself in. He had time. He walked further inside, killing and Demon Beasts he encountered.
¡°Level 3 Demon Beast ck Striped Panther, receive my punch!¡± ¡°Level 2, Demon Beast Sharp Fang Wolf, receive my punch too!¡± ¡°Rank 3 Demon Beast Mighty Ox¡­¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s whole body began trembling. Every time he killed a Demon Beast, his strength would increase bit by bit. This was simr to killing monsters to level up in a game. However, the Devouring System was not omnipotent. That golden ball had be his dantian, so his Qi Energy was not unlimited. He¡¯d still have to sit down and recover his Qi Energy. In less than a day, Ye Xuan killed his way to the Sixth Cloud Mountain Range. There were quite a few Level 4 and 4 Demon Beasts which made his leveling speed faster. ¡°At this rate, I should be able to break through the fifth middle stage of the Martial Dao within three days.¡± Ye Xuan thought.
Previously, he estimated that it¡¯d take him 500,000 silver taels to level up, but now, in this Eighteen Cloud Mountain Range, he only needed four days to earn around 100,000 silver taels a day. Of course, this wasparing the Demon Beasts he killed to currency. If it came to earning money, he¡¯d make less than 10,000 silver taels. After all, most cultivators kept parts of a Demon Beasts and there was a limited amount they could carry. Not many had bags with them. When the amount of Demon Beasts they killed brimmed with fullness, they¡¯d have to go back and sell their bags. It¡¯d take a long time. Therefore, money was still rtively hard to earn. For Ye Xuan, however, his Devouring System was quite convenient. At this time, Ye Xuan rested on a tree. He looked at the good stuff inside the Devouring System to satisfy his cravings, then, a slight rustle in the wind attracted his attention. ¡°Someone¡¯s here!¡±
Ye Xuan immediately sat up. His right hand held onto the low-rank mortal sword while listening in carefully. The forest at night was quite dangerous. Most people spent the night on trees, rarely moving about in the woods. Furthermore, Ye Xuan could also hear that themotion seemed to be caused by the Demon Beast. ¡°Sssii!¡± A voice came from not too far away. Ye Xuan frowned and turned to look, but because it was too dark, he could not tell what Demon Beast it was. The sound was getting closer and closer. The Demon Beast was moving towards Ye Xuan¡¯s direction. However, the moment it appeared before Ye Xuan, it also caused thetter¡¯s body to tremble. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s a huge python!¡± Ye Xuan saw clearly what kind of Demon Beast it was. It was a three-meter-long python, its body thicker than Ye Xuan¡¯s thigh. ¡°This Demon Beast is the White Scaled Python. When it matures, it will be a Level 4 Demon Beast.¡± Ye Xuan was in the fifth stage of the Martial Dao and his martial arts were at a high level. Dealing with the White Scaled Python should pose no problem. The White Scaled Python didn¡¯t seem to notice Ye Xuan as it directly swept past him. ¡°This is the first Rank 4 Demon Beast I¡¯ve ever encountered. After killing it, devouring it would probably increase my strength by quite a bit. Time to hunt!¡± Ye Xuan tightly gripped the sword¡¯s hilt and abruptly pulled out his sword. He then directly leaped out and shed at the White Scaled Python¡¯s body. Although he had not learned any sword techniques, killing the White Scaled Python under the circumstances of his low-level cultivation was not a problem. ng! However, what Ye Xuan did not expect was that when his treasured sword cut into the White Scaled Python¡¯s scales, it let out a crisp sound. Its defense was quite formidable! ¡°What?¡± Ye Xuan was shocked, could it be that he had recognized the wrong Demon Beast? ¡°Impossible, I can definitely break it with my full strength¡­¡± Ye Xuan did not dare believe it. However, when he looked carefully, he realized that the White Scaled Python¡¯s scales had a kind of ck luster to them. Because he was on a tree just now, he did not notice it. After being attacked, the White Scaled Python immediately turned around and opened its bloody mouth to bite towards Ye Xuan¡¯s neck. ¡°Boxing Fist Art, Rushing Bull!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s left hand formed a fist and punched the White Scaled Python¡¯s jaw, forcing it to retreat. At the same time, he once again shed out with his sword at the original location. ¡°ng!¡± The second sword strike still wasn¡¯t able to break through the White Scaled Python¡¯s defense. ¡°This is too strange. This is no ordinary White Scaled Python.¡± Ye Xuan was suspicious. At this moment, he struck out again. This time, it was a stab. The sword stabbed into the scales of the White Scaled Python. A crisp sound rang out; it had broken through its defense! ¡°As long as I can break through your defense, I can kill you!¡± Ye Xuan was overjoyed. This White Scaled Python was not very strong, only that its scales were very hard. However, it was fortunate that Ye Xuan had a low ranked conventional weapon in his hand that could attack the White Scaled Python. Otherwise, he would have to punch the python with his bare hands. After a few exchanges, the White Scaled Python was pierced by Ye Xuan to the point that it was bleeding profusely. In the next moment, it fled in panic. ¡°You want to leave? It won¡¯t be that easy!¡± Ye Xuan chased after the giant python, but he did not dare make too much noise. After all, some of the Demon Beast were active at night and were he to run into one, it would be quite troublesome.
Chapter 12 - Adventures
Chapter 12: Adventures This was a forest. However, the White Scaled Python¡¯s speed was not slow at all despite itsrge size. Furthermore, it was circling the tree he was in, giving Ye Xuan a headache. ¡°Ai, the unlucky ghost did not seem to be interested in sword art, so the sword technique I inherited is not very brilliant. Otherwise, I would have hacked it to death.¡± Ye Xuan was helpless. Though he felt that the swords technique was awe-inspiring, it was not the case with the unlucky ghost. At this time, Ye Xuan was also thinking about whether he should exchange that bit of Devouring Points for a level five martial art technique or not? He hesitated because Devouring Points was not so easy to obtain. However, when he thought about the worth of the White Scaled Python¡¯s corpse that reached at least ten thousand silver taels, he made up his mind. He quickly searched through the Devouring System menu and finally chose a level five martial arts technique called Gale Sword Technique. ¡°Would you like to spend some Devouring Points to exchange for the Gale Sword Technique?¡± The system prompted. ¡°Yes!¡±
When Ye Xuan replied in his mind, the System deducted that little bit of Devouring Points he had, and following that, a cultivation technique appeared in his mind. It was the Gale Sword Technique. In the outside world, Ye Xuan was still chasing after the White Scaled Python, but in his mind, a long time had passed since then. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s magical. After exchanging points for the cultivation technique, you unexpectedly gave me some time to practice the sword techniques with the light and shadow sword. This is just like showing off in the game. Ha-ha, snake, don¡¯t go¡­¡± Ye Xuan was somewhat emotional. With his cultivation at the early fifth level, if he used a level five martial art technique, he would definitely be able to kill this White Scaled Python quickly. Immediately, he gripped the longsword tightly and swung it out. ¡°Gale Chop!¡±
A wave of pure spiritual energy turned into sword qi and swept out, instantly tearing past a few meters andnded on the White Scaled Python¡¯s body. In an instant, the White Scaled Python was split into two, divided into two halves. However, because of his poor vision, Ye Xuan¡¯s uracy was not high. The only broken part of the White Scaled Python was merely its tail, and it fled even faster after receiving that attack. ¡°The consumption of a rank five martial arts technique is great. At my peak, I should be able to use this technique ten times. However, for my current self, I can probably only use it for two or three times.¡± Ye Xuan thought for a while, then used the Ye n¡¯s movement technique to chase the snake. ¡°Gale Chop, die!¡± Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes turned cold. He suddenly brandished his sword. A stream of light shed past. A crisp sound rang out. This time, the White Scaled Python¡¯s head was cut into two halves, and it died instantly. ¡°Rank Five martial arts techniques are indeed powerful.¡± Ye Xuan joyfully walked over and directly swallowed the body of the Rank Four White Scaled Python.
Seeing the extent of the increase, he also revealed a satisfied expression as he muttered to himself: ¡°Not bad, not bad. This White Scaled Python is equivalent to twenty or thirty Rank Three Demon Beast. It would be better if there were more.¡± After devouring the White Scaled Python¡¯s corpse, Ye Xuan was thinking of finding a ce to rest. However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered a cave in front of him. ¡°Cave? Could it be their of this White Scaled Python?¡± He focused his mind and deduced that the White Scaled Python was feeling threatened and wanted to escape back to its nest, where it was perceived as a safe haven. However, unexpectedly, it was chopped just at the entrance of its nest by Ye Xuan. Since there was a nest, then there might be other White Scaled Pythons inside. He had heard that White Scaled Pythons usually lived together, and if there is one left in the nest, it¡¯d be an unexpected harvest. ¡°I can still use Gale sh another two times, and even if I don¡¯t use it, I can still make the White Scaled Python flee. Hmm, I should recover my Spiritual Energy first, just in case.¡± Ye Xuan made his decision, and he took out a bottle of Dan to recover his spirit energy.
Just now, when he killed the White Scaled Python, he had only increased the upper limit of his spiritual energy. He had not recovered his spent spiritual energy at all. As such, he took out the Dan and used the Ye Family¡¯s techniques to hasten his spirit energy recovery. After a long while, he finally stood up and entered the cave. This cave was not big, but what surprised Ye Xuan was that in the depths of the cave. There seemed to be something that was emitting a faint light. ¡°There might be something good!¡± Ye Xuan was looking forward to it. Other than Demon Beasts, there were also a few other natural treasures in the wilderness, such as the raw materials used to refine Dan. Ye Xuan walked into the cave for a while without hearing something strange, but suddenly, he heard something different. It was the hissing sound of the White Scaled Python. ¡°There really is another White Scaled Python¡­¡± Ye Xuan thought as he came to the corner and looked around cautiously. Sure enough, in the depths of the cave, there was a White Scale Python coiled up around the faint light source from before, which turned out to be a stone. ¡°A rock that is emitting ck light. It looked like some ore, and the light it emitted seemed to be affecting the White Scaled Python. Its scales have be extremely hard from exposure to that light.¡± Ye Xuan could immediately sense that there was something wrong, and he instantly pulled out his sword, rushing out. However, in the next moment, he discovered that something was wrong. This White Scaled Python seemed to be muchrger than the one he had just killed. Its body even reached five meters long. ¡°Hiss! Hiss!¡± Seeing that a human had barged into its territory, the White Scaled Python stuck out its tongue and slithered towards Ye Xuan. Noticing the White Scaled Python was pouncing towards him with its mouth wide open, a light shed in Ye Xuan¡¯s eyes, and he thenunched a Gale Chop at the snake¡¯s head. ng! The Sword Qi struck the White Scaled Python¡¯s scales, producing a metallic sound. This time, Ye Xuan¡¯s attack failed to break its defense. ¡°Oh no, it¡¯s a Rank Five Demon Beast!¡± Ye Xuan immediately reacted. Moreover, he guessed that this White Scaled Python was probably at either the middle phase or peak phase in the fifth stage. While Ye Xuan was still bbergasted, the White Scaled Python had already rushed to his side and bit down. Fortunately, he had reacted rather quickly and moved his leg away in advance. Otherwise, its venomous teeth would have pierced his thigh. Ye Xuan was shocked by the White Scaled Python¡¯s strength, but he did not lose his reason. Right now, there were only two options before him. One, he could immediately turn around and flee with all his might. Two, he could quickly scale the White Scaled Python and swallow the glowing ck rock. If everything went well, he might be able to level up directly, and then his spirit energy might be able to break through the White Scaled Python¡¯s defense. However, this was a huge risk because he did not know what this stone was. If he could not use it to advance his level, then he would be in great danger. ¡°Forget it; just look at this rock. It¡¯s not an ordinary thing. Let¡¯s risk it all!¡± Ye Xuan made up his mind. He immediately stepped on the snake¡¯s body, and then, with a mighty stomp, he pounced towards the ck boulder. ng! ¡°Hiss! Hiss!¡± The White Scaled Python¡¯s head swayed as it slithered after him, all within Ye Xuan¡¯s calction. When Ye Xuannded, the ck boulder had already fallen into Ye Xuan¡¯s hands and was immediately devoured by him.
Chapter 13 - Good Luck
Chapter 13: Good Luck "The host devoured a single ck Light Essence Ore and received 5 Devouring Points!" "Ding! The host has broken through to the fifth middle stage of the Martial Way!" In an instant, though Ye Xuan''s aura had increased a bit, the strength of the spirit energy in his body had risen dramatically. Hiss! When the White Scaled Python saw that Ye Xuan had lost its item, it immediately opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Ye Xuan''s head as if it wanted to swallow him whole directly. "Gale Chop!" Ye Xuan raised the longsword in his hand. A sword aura sharper than before shed out, instantly cutting across the White Scaled Python''s body. Hiss!
A muffled sound rang out as the head of the White Scaled Python flew over. Its body was separated from its head! Instant kill! Looking at the still moving snake on the ground, Ye Xuan wiped off his cold sweat. Seems like he had gambled correctly. That ck boulder was indeed a good thing.
Five Devouring Points¡­ This meant that the price of the ck stone was around five million silver taels. "What a disgusting animal. Even though its head was chopped off, it could still move. If I weren''t careful, I would have been eaten alive." Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly.
Snakes were a unique species. If a part of the body was separated from the head, it could maintain its movement function for some time. Therefore, the beheaded tongue could also react or spit out the snake''s tongue. Right now, Ye Xuan already had Five Devour Points. He immediately spent three points on it in exchange for a skill called the Hand of Devour. In the future, as long as he touched it with his hand, it would be very convenient to engulf it. Also, the devouring process could level up, allowing him to devour an entire region. Not only that, the Devour Points could also be exchanged for Devouring Space. It was something simr to a Heaven & Earth Ring but much safer. Ye Xuan ced his hand on the snake''s still swaying body and devoured it. Then, he pierced through its head with his sword and swallowed its head. "As expected of a fifth stage Demon Beast, it has improved quite a bit." Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Initially, he only needed around five hundred thousand silver taels to breakthrough, but now that he had acquired somethingparable to five million silver taels, he had directly broken through to the intermediate stage of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. Furthermore, he was probably not far from reaching the fifth peak stage of the Martial Way. The Devouring System was indeed a good system! However, the resources needed to level up were too vast. Five million silver was enough to raise an ordinary person to the sixth stage of the Martial Way. After tidying up the mess, Ye Xuan also looked around but did not discover anything. Then, he left the cave and found a tree to rest in the forest outside. The night passed without incident. On the second day, Ye Xuan woke up early and continued his hunting.
Now that he had broken through, he had almost reached the fifth peak stage of the Martial Way. With the Hand of Engulfment, Ye Xuan became more vigorous in killing the Demon Beast. However, things were not that simple. In a forest in the Eighteen Mountain Range, a skinny man ran in front of a knife-scarred male and said, "Big Brother, when I went out to make things more convenient, I noticed a young man killing an armored bull. However, a moment after that, the armored bull disappeared." "It''s gone? Is there something wrong with your eyes?" The knife-scarred male was startled and asked with some surprise. "No, the Armored Bull is a third stage Demon Beast, it''s even bigger than us two. I can''t be mistaken¡­" The skinny man said with a serious expression. "Abruptly vanishing? If you aren''t wrong, then there is only one possibility!" The knife-scarred man''s eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Heaven & Earth Ring!" The skinny man quickly nodded his head. "That''s right, that''s right, only the Heaven & Earth Ring can do that! Big Brother, this time we met a treasure! Someone actually has the Heaven & Earth Ring!" The Heaven & Earth Ring was an extremely precious item that everyone in the world had heard of but had never seen before. Yu Jin, who was the protector of the Heaven Origin Sect had one, but his identity and background were extremely mysterious. It was reasonable for him to have a Heaven & Earth Ring. Moreover, perhaps even a sect master of a sect did not have a Heaven & Earth Ring. However, it was a little impossible for it to appear on the body of a little kid who came to the Eighteen Mountain Range to gain experience. "Are you sure that kid lost an armored bull?" The knife-scarred man could not help but ask again. "I''ll use my head as a guarantee. I definitely didn''t see wrong. Also, Big Brother, there''s no one here, how about¡­" The skinny man raised an eyebrow. "Fine, kill him!" A single Heaven & Earth Ring was priceless. If they got it, they could be a part of a strong and powerful sect. As for the little boy that the skinny man spoke of, he was Ye Xuan. Just now, when he was devouring the Demon Beast''s corpse, he was identally seen by the skinny man. Immediately, the two of them picked up their weapons and chased after him. But at this time, Ye Xuan was still looking for the next Demon Beast to kill, utterly unaware of the danger nearing him. "Mm? Footsteps?" Ye Xuan, who was looking for prey, suddenly felt that something was off. He immediately frowned and turned his head to look only to see two figures following him out of the forest. These two people were the skinny man and the knife-scarred man from before. "Little Brother, please wait a moment." Seeing Ye Xuan, the skinny man shouted before jogging over. Ye Xuan frowned. He sized the two of them up and realized that they were both around forty years old. As for strength, he could not tell. "Stop!" Ye Xuan suddenly stretched out his hand, signaling the skinny man to stop. Although he had not been in this world for a long time, he was not an idiot who had juste out of it after fusing with the memories of the unlucky ghost. In the wilderness, there would often be discordant incidents such as killing people for their treasures. "What''s the matter?" Ye Xuan looked at the skinny man who had stopped 20 meters ahead of him and asked loudly. The skinny man revealed a harmless look and said, "Little Brother, it''s like this¡­ Our map was identally lost, so we wanted to ask you if you have any extra maps of the Eighteen Mountain Range?" "Map?" Hearing this question, Ye Xuan''s brows loosened. He then took out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom and threw it at his feet, saying, "Brothers, it is only right for us to help each other out when we are outside. I will leave the map here." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. If these two did ask for his help because they lost the map, then he was happy to help because he had a spare map on him. However, if the two of them wanted to do him harm, it was better to stay away from them.
Chapter 14 - Why Dont You Go Die?
Chapter 14: Why Don''t You Go Die? "Damn, this brat is so vignt. The bag on his back is obviously for show. It must have been used to fool people." The skinny man said carefully. "That''s right. However, that treasure sword of his is likely expensive. It should be an Inferior Grade weapon." The knife-scarred man''s gaze was vicious, seeing through everything with one nce. "Then we¡­" Glimmers danced in the skinny man''s eyes. A low-rank mortal weapon was worth 100,000 taels of silver. Killing a person would cost 10,000 silver taels. Even if the youth had no Heaven & Earth Ring, killing him would still be worth it. "Sneak close to him. If he discovers us, we will kill him quickly. We won''t give him any chance!" The knife-scarred man tightened his grip on the de in his hand. "Alright!" The skinny man nodded, then softened his footsteps. They estimated that Ye Xuan was only around fifteen years old. Even if thetter were a disciple of a n, they were typically at the third level of the Martial Way, while others were at the fourth level of the Martial Way. As for the two of them, one was at the middle fourth stage of the Martial eWayand the other was at the fourth peak stage, so killing Ye Xuan was an easy task.
Ye Xuan who was about to turn around and leave also jogged a bit, but soon felt that something was wrong and immediately turned back. He only saw that the skinny man and the knife-scarred man had instantly increased their speed and was charging towards him. "Good heavens, you really want to kill me for my treasure. Fxck you, don''t think that I''m easy to bully! Since you want to die, then I don''t mind cutting you open!"
Ye Xuan''s anger rose. Although he had never personally killed before, the unlucky ghost had killed quite a few bandits before. Furthermore, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If you did not kill someone, you would be killed. With that, Ye Xuan pulled out his treasure sword and prepared to fight. He could tell that both of them were around the fourth stage of the Martial Way. He should be able to handle them.
In the tenth stage of the Martial Way, every time there was a big breakthrough, the progress was tremendous. However, each stage had three small realms. This gap was not very obvious, so there would often be geniuses that would jump ranks to challenge and defeat the strong. Right now, although Ye Xuan was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, his strength was much higher than the two of them. Before the two of them even got close, he had already directlyunched an attack. A few ordinary sword qi shes flew towards the two bandits. These sword qi shes were not very strong, so they were scattered by the two men''s weapons. However, the faces of the two men instantly turned pale. They had underestimated Ye Xuan! "He''ll do it again and again. Kill him with everything we have!" The knife-scarred man snorted. He could feel that Ye Xuan''s strength was not ordinary. Just from those few shes, the two of them probably did not have the ability to unleash that kind of attack. "This unlucky youth can be considered a genius and has some understanding of fighting. Even though my cultivation realm is higher than the other party, I do not have the advantage in numbers. Thus, it is the best method to make the other party lose in an instant!"
Ye Xuan looked at the two of them getting closer and muttered in his heart. Soon after, his gazended on the skinny man, because he was one of the two who was rtively weaker. "Try this move!" When the skinny man was only 10 meters away from Ye Xuan, thetter also instantly rushed out. With a wave of his right hand, a wave of powerful spirit energy immediately tore through the air, chopping towards the petite man. Gale Chop! "What? Be careful!" The knife-scarred man bellowed with his eyes wide open. He could see that this was no small matter. Swoosh! With a sh of cold light, the Gale Chop swept past the skinny man''s body. The skinny man''s legs reflexively paused for a moment, and then he felt a chill down his spine.
Shua! The petite man''s body was cut into two halves by the Gale Chop. Then he fell to the ground. Although he did not die instantly, he was not far away from death. "Brother!" The eyes of the knife-scarred man turned red. He immediately turned his head and attacked Ye Xuan. The de in his hand swung out a few times, shing out one after another, ready to tear Ye Xuan into shreds. However, this was simply striking a rock with an egg! "Puny skill! Gale Chop!" Ye Xuan''s legs paused, and instantly released two gale shes,pletely shattering the knife-scarred man''s attack. One had to know, he was at the fifth middle stage of the Martial Way, and he had even used a level five martial art skill. Even if the knife-scarred man had instantly unleashed ten shes, he probably would not be able to block a single Gale Chop. "This is bad!" He hastily twisted his body, preparing to dodge between the gaps of the two Gale Chops, but the angle of these two Gale Chops was extremely tricky, causing his right shoulder to be grazed. Fortunately, it was only a small wound, which did not affect the battle that was to follow. However, when the knife-scarred man saw the figure that suddenly shed in front of him, his face lost all color. He was only concerned with avoiding the Gale Chop and had forgotten about Ye Xuan, who could still move. At this time, Ye Xuan had already rushed in front of him, suddenly unleashed his sword. "Triple sh Gale!" Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Three muffled sounds rang out, the knife-scarred man''s green robe had already dyed red with blood and was instantly pierced three times by Ye Xuan. However, he had experienced a lot of life and death battles and had sessfully dodged all the fatal attacks. "Brat, I''ll kill you!" The knife-scarred man bellowed. He waved his de as though he wanted to cut Ye Xuan''s head off. "Humph!" Facing this de, Ye Xuan coldly snorted, his right foot suddenly took a big step back, and at the same time, his entire body sank down. Hu hu! Ye Xuan could hear the wind whistling above his head, the knife-scarred man''srge de swept past his head, at that moment, his spirit energy had once again gathered on his right hand. Triple sh Gale! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The Knife Scar man was injured again, but this time, the wound was on his thigh. To maximize the damage, Ye Xuan stabbed the man three times on the same spot. Although the wound wasn''t deep, it still injured his thigh. "This is bad!" The knife-scarred man''s face had sunk to the bottom of the valley. The thigh artery was an important ce. If it was not handled well, there would be danger to his life. Furthermore, he was still in a battle. If he did not finish Ye Xuan off quickly, he would lose too much blood and die. "Die!" The knife-scarred man did not care anymore as he raised his de and shed at Ye Xuan''s head. However, his movements was not fast, and Ye Xuan easily dodged it. "Again! Die!" Ye Xuan''s right hand shed. This time, he was aiming at the man''s throat. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! All three swords hit. After three strikes, the knife-scarred man also immediately threw away his de, as he retreated while holding onto his throat that was continuously gushing blood. He probably wouldn''t have thought that he would die at the hands of a youth, his own younger brother as well.
