Chapter 30 The Mating Bull Of The Neighbouring Village


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In a palace that was located above a ganoderma-like platform, the soul of Qiu Jin'er flew in and entered a young maiden’s body sitting in the lotus position. A beautiful woman came in laughing, “Bathing in the lightning and refining the soul is the secret art of the Lei Hu Clan, it wasn’t easy for mother to steal it. By doing so, you can forge your soul to become stronger, you have the Wood Innate Spirit in you, you are naturally born with your soul and spirit unified as one. If you tempered your soul amidst lightning, your achievements in the future will not be lower than the four strongest youngsters in Swords gate.”


Qiu Jin'er opened her eyes and said, “Mother, I have met with a senior martial brother, he was also there refining his soul in a soul weapon, I had a little conversation with him.”


The woman was nonplussed, “Could he be a Qi Practitioner of the Lei Hu Clan? I had just stolen the secret technique of Lei Hu Clan, if they found out about it, I will be ashamed….”


Qiu Jin'er quickly said, “Not the Lei Hu Clan. The senior martial brother said he is from the Zhong Shan Clan, his name is Zhong Yue.”


The woman heaved a breath of relief, she was puzzled, “What is this Zhong Shan Clan member? How is it that I’ve never heard of it before? Could it be that the Zhong Shan Clan had also stolen the secret technique from the Lei Hu Clan?”


“Senior Martial Brother Zhong is also a thief?” Qiu Jin'er exclaimed in surprise.


The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Qiu Jin'er and refuted her words, “What thief? We are just being studious, you don’t use the word thief, it’s not nice saying words like that! I will pay a visit to the headmaster one day, I will steal the most profound technique of the Swords Gate, the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, and you will try and learn it.”


Qiu Jin'er naughtily stuck out her tongue.


Zhong Yue exclaimed out in shock as he found out that his psyche ocean had become smaller when his soul returned back to his body!


His psyche ocean was initially three thousand mus in size and was still growing bigger along with the increase in his strength. But now it had shrunk down to one-third of its size before, to only a thousand mus!


“What’s wrong? Did two third of my prowess just disappeared?”


Xin Huo then jumped out from the Dragon Scale Sword, he shook his head and answered Zhong Yue’s doubts, “This is the marvelous part of the lightning refining soul training, your psyche before was full of impurities, although your psyche ocean was big, your psyche wasn’t strong. The lightning refining soul training utilizes the banishing power of the lightning to purge the impurities in your psyche. Hence, although your psyche shrunk down by a lot, it is actually stronger and tougher! Look, there are slight surges of lightning lurking in your psyche ocean, this is evidence that your psyche is getting stronger!


Zhong Yue’s soul glanced around. Indeed, there were surges of lightning flashing and moving around in his psyche ocean like golden snakes under the seawater.


“Your psyche is still not strong enough, if your psyche is strong enough, you can turn your psyche ocean into a pool of lightning or even a lightning sea! The psyche turns condenses into liquid lightning and lightning water, psyche like this is tens of times stronger than that brat Shui Qinghe’s!” Xin Huo continued on saying.


“Lightning pool, lightning sea? Lightning liquids, lightning waters?”


Zhong Yue widened his eyes, his heart galloped in excitement, he mumbled, “When can I reach that kind of level?”


“You probably didn’t notice that your soul is smaller too right?”


Xin Huo said happily, “Release your soul now and have a look.”


Zhong Yue quickly followed as he said that and as soon as he liberated his soul, the surroundings became massively huge, the floating little lamp flame Xin Huo was now a dozen times bigger than him!


His soul was as big as a little bean while Xin Huo was like a giant, Zhong Yue turned and looked at his body that appeared to be a colossus in his eyes, like a deity or a devil with unimaginable height!


His soul was initially as big as Xin Huo but now it was tiny and petty.


“Your soul has been reforged through the lightning, it condenses as the impurities were cleansed from it. Get some rest, take a few more Yuling Pellets and refine your body with your psyche. Tomorrow, you will continue the training.”


Xin Huo smiled and said, “Wait until your body is stronger, then you will be directly refining your body with the lightning but now, you are still far from that stage.”


Body and the lightning? Wouldn’t I be cooked?


Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts, he consumed three Yuling Pellets and started visualizing the Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art, immediately the efficacy of the medicinal pellets was rapidly consumed and failed to last as long as before, moments later he would have to ingest another three Yuling Pellets.


Before this, I was unable to strengthen my body further with the【Jiao Dragon Winding Body Totem Art】, but now with the increase in psyche strength, I can once again strengthen my body!


Zhong Yue was surprised and happy, he continued on cultivating and just for that one night, he had consumed sixty Yuling Pellets!


With this consumption speed, I’m afraid I will have to eat the soil and grass in the future….


It was early in the morning when he reopened his eyes and made a face that was between laughing and crying. Merely one night and he had consumed sixty Yuling Pellets; the consumption rate was even more exorbitant than when training in the state of extremity. He only had two hundred and fifty Yuling Pellets with him right now and that would only last him for another four or five days.


But the results were satisfying, his body strength was greatly improved, he could feel an immensely strong explosive strength coursing through his body – every action and every move evoked the lightning!


Every single strand of his muscles contained an explosive force of strength, every single movement was like a taut bowstring and the firing of his nerve cells was swift like a flash of electricity!


I wonder how strong I will get after five days, will I be comparable to Shui Qinghe?


Zhong Yue’s soul entered the Dragon Scale Sword, he controlled it and once again he arrived at the lightning zone. Not long after he started refining his soul with the lightning, Qiu Jin'er also arrived, they shared pleasantries before they went on their own training.


Work will never be boring when there is a pair of male and female.


Xin Huo sat on Zhong Yue’s shoulder and thought in his heart, Brat Yue saw that even a little young girl is already a Qi Practitioner, hence he subsumed the pressure into his own drive, starting to cultivate and train crazily. But what he doesn’t know is that the innate spirit body is different than the ordinary people, those with the innate spirit body are naturally born with their soul and spirit as one, they are a natural born Qi Practitioner, they didn’t cultivate it … Hmm, should I tell him? I guess not, after all, youngsters must have their own fire that drives them forward!


For the following few days, as if jointly premeditated, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were training together at the same spot, only calling it a day until they could not withstand the lightning strikes anymore.


Five days later, Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean was refined to the size of only five hundred mus, his soul had also shrunk to the size of a petty bug that was even smaller than the average size of an ant. If it was not for the Yuling Pellets he had consumed over these few days, his psyche ocean would be even smaller while his soul might not even be big enough to be noticeable!


Although his psyche ocean and soul were smaller than before, his soul, psyche ocean and body were actually much stronger. This was especially true of his psyche ocean, the golden snakes made of lightning gallivanting freely in his psyche ocean and with a single thought, they would burst while unleashing indomitable power!


However, Zhong Yue had consumed all of his Yuling Pellets and he couldn’t continue the training anymore.


The disciples of the upper house can claim ten Yuling Pellets every month from the Valley of Remedy, but it is still too little to me, ten Yuling Pellets can’t even sustain an hour of my training.


Zhong Yue was troubled, he pondered and thought to himself, If only I can still enter the Demon Ruins and earn myself some Yuling Pellets, but unfortunately, entry to the Demon Ruins is now occluded. I can only search for other alternatives, I wonder if I can find any other ways to earn myself some Yuling Pellets….


Just when he was about to stand up, the voice of a female could be heard calling for him from the outside of the courtyard, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong! Junior Martial Brother Zhong Yue of the Zhong Shan Clan!”


“It’s the voice of Senior Martial Sister Ting!”


Zhong Yue recognized her voice and quickly he walked over to open the courtyard’s door, he thought to himself, Why is Senior Martial Sister Ting looking for me?


After he opened the door, he got a shock of his life, there were dozens of upper house female disciples standing outside of the door curiously inspecting the surroundings with their eyes. Out of thirty over female disciples, he only knew three of them, namely the one that called for him, Ting Lanyue. Yu Feiyan who dressed in black clothes and the young lady in red, Tao Daier.


The air was saturated with the fragrant body scent of the young ladies, the perfumes were concocted by the ladies with the flower pollens they have harvested, the ladies looked more beautiful and youthful after applying the perfumes.


From afar, the male disciples eyeballed them, they were all shocked as they saw so many female disciples appearing in the male house, their eyes were burning with envy when they glanced at Zhong Yue.


Why are the senior martial sisters here?


Zhong Yue was perplexed, he said, “Senior martial sisters, please come in, I will prepare tea.”


“It’s alright, we will not enter.”


Ting Lanyue smirked and said, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, we plan to leave the mountain and go on a training trip to prepare ourselves for the upcoming Lawless Battle. The number of beasts in the Beast God Ridge is getting greater and they are threatening the safety of the tribes nearby, a lot of villages were eaten away by them. We will be heading over there to prevent the beasts from causing any more damage. In the meantime, we can also earn ourselves some credits from this Swords Gate mission and exchange them for some medicinal pellets and soul weapons.”


Tao Daier laughed beside them and said, “Initially we didn’t plan to bring along a smelly man, but Senior Martial Sister Yu said that you are strong. Plus, I have smelled you before and I don’t find your scent particularly foul, so we are graciously inviting you to join us.”


Zhong Yue thought for a second, his Dragon Blood Sword Scabbard flew over and landed beneath his leg, he smiled and said, “Thank you Senior Martial Sister Tao.”


Yu Feiyan was indifferent and she said, “There is no need for useless platitudes, we will now depart. We might just be able to reach the Beast God Ridge before the night falls.”


Tao Daier quickly took out a small pouch, smiled and said, “The Beast God Ridge is far, it will take two to three days if we walk, I borrowed a pouch of clouds from my clan’s Qi Practitioners, if we travel on the clouds, we will arrive before the sun sets.”


The pouch was opened, —Gu-lu gu-lu gu-lu—, rainbow-colored clouds billowed out from the opening, moments later the clouds lifted Zhong Yue and the young ladies up into the air.


Zhong Yue was surprised, Tao Daier smiled and said, “These rainbow clouds are a soul weapon, its name – Rainbow Clouds Carrier. Its purpose is not for combat but as a transportation vehicle. I will control the direction while the sisters can power it with your psyches, we can then fly to Beast God Ridge. We will take turns in powering it so that our psyches will not be completely exhausted when we reach the Beast God Ridge.”


In the male house, hundreds of male disciples stared at the rainbow clouds as the female disciples and Zhong Yue flew away, they were all silent in ponderous distraction.


“There is a big bull in our neighboring village, it was big and strong, every month the villagers nearby will rein their cows over to it, dozens of cows waited in line for their turn while the other bulls could only watch in envy….”


A male disciple lifted his head and stared blankly at the rainbow clouds, he mumbled, “We give the big bull the appellation of the big mating bull….”


“Brother, why are suddenly talking about this?” another male disciple beside asked curiously.


From afar, the pair of eyes of a barrel-chested and muscular man brightened, he watched as the rainbow clouds flew out of the Swords Gate, he grinned, “Finally you are willing to leave … Prepare the Thunder King Wherry, we the Lei Hu Clan disciples will also go to the Beast God Ridge, I will personally entertain this Zhong Yue!”


Over twenty Lei Hu Clan elite disciples answered his call, they dragged out a hundred feet long large wherry and in the middle of the wherry stood the deity statue of the God of Thunder, Leigong, the statue was carved with the thunder totem. The Lei Hu Clan disciples boarded the wherry and the wherry floated in mid-air towards the Beast God Ridge.


At the same time in the female house, Li Xiuniang summoned the disciples of the Li Shan Clan, they also left for the Beast God Ridge atop a big leaf. The leaf was the lotus leaf of the Monster God Flower, wide and huge.


“Zhong Shan Clan member, I hope you won’t disappoint me….” Li Xiuniang mumbled.
