Chapter 642: Half a Year of Supplies
After eating to their full, Yuan and the others returned to the Luo Family’s manor.
“Young Master, do you want to temper your body tonight as well?” Feng Yuxiang asked him after they returned.
“That would be ideal.” Yuan nodded.
“Just let me know whenever you’re ready.”
“Okay.”
Yuan logged off shortly after to eat dinner, and he would explain to them the situation at the table.
“Because of this evil sect called the Blood Sect that might attack this city, I will be staying in this city for a few more days before we challenge the Stairway to Heaven.”
“Sounds troublesome. What do evil sects even do, anyway?” Chu Liuxiang asked.
“I don’t know the purpose of their existence. All I know is that they’re filled with unreasonable people who kill innocent people for their own entertainment, and they cultivate forbidden techniques that make them go crazy.”
Once dinner was finished, Meixiu said, “Yuan, the Cultivators’ Association contacted me this afternoon. They said we can visit them whenever because they have finished scouting for our faction’s headquarters.”
“Really? We can visit them tomorrow since I have three days before I fight the Blood Sect.”
“Alright, I will let them know tomorrow morning.”
“Don’t forget to tell the other members.”
“I won’t.”
Yuan returned to Cultivation Online for the rest of the night to temper his body with the treasures provided by Feng Yuxiang, who was literally a walking treasure trove just like Xiao Hua but with more variety since Xiao Hua only has weapons.
Before getting into the bathtub, Yuan asked the others, “I feel kind of bad tempering my body alone. Do any of you want to join me? Feng Feng, it’s your treasure, so you should…”
“I am fine, Young Master. Don’t forget that I have the body of a phoenix, so these treasures won’t affect me.”
Yuan then looked at Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying.
“Xiao Hua doesn’t require body tempering because of her physique,” she said to him.
This leaves Lan Yingying, who was silently pondering whether she wants to temper her body or not.
Although she is also a divine beast like Feng Yuxiang, she doesn’t have a naturally strong body, so tempering her body would actually benefit her.
“What about you, Yingying? Want to try tempering your body? It’ll make your body stronger.”
“If you don’t mind sharing your treasures with me…”
“Of course I don’t mind sharing. I’m not that selfish, and I don’t even own the treasures.”
“Then I’ll join you.” Lan Yingying nodded her head a moment later.
Sometime later, Yuan entered the bathtub with Lan Yingying, which had just enough room for the two of them.
“Are you okay?” Yuan asked her, feeling Lan Yingying’s smooth back touching his back.
“Yes. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Lord.” She said.
A bittersweet smile appeared on Yuan’s face, and he said, “I really cannot get used to being called ‘Lord’. Can’t you just call me Yuan like you used to? Please?”
After a moment of silence, Lan Yingying responded, “I understand, Yuan.”
“Thank you.”
The two of them began absorbing the medicine in the bathtub shortly after.
Lan Yingying immediately began sweating when she felt the pain from the medicine, as she has never experienced such intense pain before— not even when she trained with her grandparents.
However, as a divine beast, Lan Yingying’s endurance is naturally higher than humans, so it wasn’t as bad as when Yuan first experienced it.
Two hours later, all of the medicine had been absorbed from the bathtub. There was enough medicine to last four hours, but since there were two of them, it was absorbed twice as fast.
“How do you feel?” Yuan asked Lan Yingying afterward, who was breathing heavily.
“My body hurts all over like I am constantly being pricked by needles, but it’s not unendurable. My skin also feels a lot smoother,” she said.
After getting out of the bathtub, they rinsed their body with clean water before leaving the bathroom fully dressed.
Since they have seen each other naked before, even bathing in a river together, neither of them felt awkward, almost like it was natural.
“Hm? That ended quicker than I anticipated. Looks like I will have to increase the treasures next time.” Feng Yuxiang after seeing them leave the bathroom.
Yuan then said, “Doesn’t it require a lot of treasure to temper one person? Now that you have to deal with two people, you’ll run out of treasures much quicker… Looks like I also need to start gathering my own treasures.”
“It’s not that bad. I have enough treasures to help the Young Master for an entire year. However, now that Yingying will also be tempering her body, that supply will only last half as long, so we still have half a year before I run out of treasures.”
“Half a year…” Yuan nodded and said, “I will figure a way to obtain treasures to temper Yingying and myself before then so that you don’t have to use your treasures on us anymore. I have said this before, but I really feel guilty using your treasures for my own benefit…”
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, “I have also said this before, but it’s my pleasure to assist you in any way possible. Although these treasures are valuable in the Lower Heavens, they’re not worth much in the upper heavens.”
“Furthermore, I only have them because I had a business to run before. Now that I no longer have a store, nor do I need to sell them, I really have no use for the treasures, so instead of letting them sit in my storage ring forever, I would rather use them to help the Young Master.”
“Thank you, Feng Feng…” Yuan nodded.
And for the remainder of the night, Yuan would cultivate the spiritual energy he’d absorbed from the bath, quickly rising his cultivation base.
The following morning, Yuan logged off and prepared to head to the Cultivators’ Association with Meixiu and the others, leaving Pang City’s protection to Feng Yuxiang and the other two.
