Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 562: Chapter 443: Training?_2

Shi Hao wasn’t very fond of this intolerable environment.

Chen Moqing didn’t like it either!

Wang Lin was alright. Upon learning that Chen Zhixing was taking them out for training, he was mentally prepared to face any challenge.

"This is the molten rock layer deep within the Earth Vein. You three will be training here for the next three months."

"Molten rock layer deep within the Earth Vein?!" X2

Chen Moqing looked at the other two in confusion, not understanding what they were surprised about.

"Yes, this place is specially chosen for you. The nearby wild beasts are at least in the True Self Realm, and there are some monsters in the Nirvana and Peak Realm. Unfortunately, there aren’t any in the Longevity Realm."

As he spoke, a hint of regret flashed in Chen Zhixing’s eyes, visible to the three.

Before the trio could figure out what that regret meant, they heard Chen Zhixing continue:

"In the next three months, I won’t provide you with any supplies and will seal off all exits leading to the outside. How you manage to survive in this cave is up to your skills."

As his words fell, the figure transformed into a bubble-like shadow, disappearing without a trace in the darkness.

Chen Moqing: "???"

What the hell?

How did the training start all of a sudden?

Is this his biological father?

How old is he really!!!

...

Chen Zhixing’s will was something the three couldn’t resist.

If he said no supplies, there would be no supplies.

After he left, the three checked their storage tools, finding that all storage functions had disappeared.

Or rather, they could only store things, but not retrieve them!

This discovery made Shi Hao instantly look pitiful.

Soon, as if remembering something, Shi Hao’s eyes turned green as he looked at his senior brother Wang Lin.

"Senior brother, the little green bottle is reliable, right?"

Wang Lin was silent.

Seeing this, Shi Hao, like he’d found a savior, rushed over to hug Wang Lin’s waist, his hands constantly roaming over him.

"Where is it, where is it? I said Master’s elder wouldn’t let us starve. Even though we three are cultivators who won’t die from missing three or five meals, there’s no water underground. Master surely doesn’t expect us to drink lava, right?"

After probing Wang Lin for a full minute, Shi Hao’s face turned from hopeful to hopeless.

"Master took it away?"

"..."

"Ah! Does Master really intend to leave us thirsty? It’s all lava underground, where’s the water for us to drink!"

Wang Lin remained silent, merely quiet.

The little green bottle was indeed there, and Chen Zhixing hadn’t touched it.

But to Wang Lin, since Master set the rules, as disciples, they shouldn’t defy him. So even though the little green bottle was with Wang Lin, he had no intention of taking it out.

Why didn’t Master seal the little green bottle too....

’Master might have gone out to handle some matters, uncertain if he could return after three months. To be safe, he left the little green bottle with me, probably fearing that if he can’t return after three months, I’d use it to calm my junior brothers.’

Wang Lin didn’t consider if Chen Zhixing would really seal them here without care.

This guy is somewhat single-minded.

After Shi Hao finished his frenzy, Wang Lin finally spoke:

"Though there’s no water to drink, Master did say there are wild beasts around that we can drink from their blood to quench our thirst."

Hearing this, Shi Hao was even more shattered.

With disbelief in his eyes, he looked at Wang Lin and said, "Eating fur and drinking blood? Senior brother, if grandmother heard that, she’d beat us to death!"

"You can also choose not to drink."

Wang Lin didn’t plan to comfort Shi Hao, he merely lowered his head and gently patted the confused Chen Moqing’s head, softly asking: "Are you okay, little junior brother?"

"Just drinking blood?" Chen Moqing weakly asked.

"Probably just that, but don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on the surrounding rock layers to see if I can separate any drinkable water." Wang Lin calmly responded.

In reality, for him who practiced the Netherworld Ascension Spell, it’s hopeful to get some drinkable water. Even if not, Wang Lin planned to slightly break the rules, taking some water from the little green bottle for his junior brother, potentially even some fruits planted inside, since the little junior brother is different from him and Shi Hao, being Master’s son.

"I’m fine." Chen Moqing replied calmly. In the years he spent in Stone Village, he’d drunk all kinds of wild beast blood, or rather that was his dietary habit, and he didn’t find a life of just meat and blood drinking odd.

"That’s good."

Wang Lin smiled and nodded, then took his hand, pointing toward the dim red-glowing rock layers ahead: "Let’s check that area first."

"Okay."

"Ah, you two are moving so fast, wait for me...."

"Hurry up, or else I’ll leave you behind."

"Don’t leave me alone...."

...

A person’s experiences determine their character.

This isn’t an empty phrase.

However, it’s not absolute.

Shi Hao had many hardships in his youth, but after arriving at Ziwei Mountain, he enjoyed an almost pampered life, being raised by Chen Zhixing’s parents, essentially became a tyrant on Ziwei Mountain, never experiencing hardship again.

Shi Hao like this wasn’t willing to face difficulties proactively.

Calling him cowardly, pampered, and spoiled?

Somewhat.

But to say he can’t endure hardship and become successful is pure nonsense.

The coming experiences proved that this seemingly always complaining Shi Hao adapted to the cave environment and life faster than his senior and junior brother.

Shi Hao was the first to discover a kind of ’fish’ in the lava flow.

Yes, a kind of fish that could live and reproduce in lava, yet possessed little cultivation, not even a monster, just ordinary life evolved to survive in lava flows in this environment.

The key point is these fish are edible!

Though scarce, they’re still there.

This made Shi Hao doubt what his master said: ’Nearby only wild beasts of the True Self Realm and above.’

Thus, in the following days, Shi Hao found many consumable items not described by Chen Zhixing from various nooks and crannies.

Things like water-containing moss, some insects crawling on rock walls, and a few root vegetables growing beneath rock layers.

Of course, there was a crocodile-like weak wild beast only in the True Self Realm!

Surprisingly, the wild beast Shi Hao chose to fight was the weakest one among the four he discovered!

Shi Hao skinned the seven-meter-long crocodile and used its bones to build a ’small dock’ that could be used both for shelter and floating in lava for the three.

When it came to performance, Shi Hao outshone Wang Lin.

Like Stone Race People’s bloodline seemed to innately know how to survive various hardships.

This slightly surprised the thought incarnation left by Chen Zhixing.

Because his eldest disciple Wang Lin didn’t perform too well, his only achievement was fighting a blind wild beast resembling an armored mouse, tearing off dozens of pounds of meat, with that Wang Lin also got slightly injured. That wild beast was only True Self High Tier, barely stronger than the crocodile skinned by Shi Hao.

"Is this supposed to be the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?"

Chen Zhixing knew his words were slightly arbitrary.

After all, Shi Hao complained about the living conditions, but in reality, on Ziwei Mountain, he was always in mischief like swimming to catch fish, climbing for eggs, chasing bears, and hunting leopards.

Comparatively, his eldest disciple Wang Lin, with the little green bottle, preferred to hide and cultivate, ignorant of worldly affairs.

But no matter what one says, Wang Lin is in the Nirvana Realm!

And Nirvana Fifth Layer at that!

For the Nirvana Fifth Layer eldest disciple to be bitten by a blind rat, almost losing an arm, while the True Self Realm second disciple thrives in the cave... this difference, truly left Chen Zhixing struggling to defend Wang Lin.
