The Invincible Corruption Manual

Chapter 46 CHAPTER 45 : The First Two Questions

" Master, where are we going?" Joey asked curiously.

Currently, they were currently walking inside a beautiful bamboo forest.

" Son, we will be there soon." The man said and kept walking. Joey walked behind him.

" Master, do you know something about reincarnation?" Joey asked.

The man remained quiet and still kept walking. After about ten minutes, he stopped and looked at him.

" Son, how do you think you reincarnated here in another body?" He instead asked him. Then, they continued walking again. ( The man called him a son as according to his philosophy, as a master he became godfather to his disciple.)

" Master, you are right. I reincarnated in this body. How is this even possible? " Joey replied.

At that time, they reached the center of the bamboo forest.

" Son, as my disciple, you have to complete some tasks before I teach you. Go, make a thatched hut first for me here. After that, you have to make a pound too. Come here. " The man approached Joey, poked his forehead with his finger. After that, a lotus seal appeared on his forehead. It locked Joey's essence and soul force inside his body.

" Son, I have sealed your cultivation qi and your soul sea. So, you are a normal mortal like me from now on. I will come back in the evening." He said. He left a knife and a garden hoe and left quickly.

Joey remained alone inside the center of the bamboo forest. He first checked his body. He doesn't feel any qi inside his body. He tried to use the dragon's armor but it remained inactive.

" Sister Ai, do you hear me?" He said in his mind.

" Brat, what do you want? " Long Ai responded. Then, she doesn't feel any essence qi from his body.

" Hey, what is wrong with your body? I don't feel any qi from your body." She asked hurriedly.

" Elder sister Ai, my master, seals both my qi and soul sea. Lucky that I can still talk to you. How is little Xiuying?" Joey replied and asked about his daughter.

" She is fine. You are basically a mortal now. Are you going to be fine?" She said with some worry.

" I will be fine. But, I think for now I can't go inside the pagoda now. Tell little Xiuying that I will meet her soon. See you." He said and remained quiet again.

Even though he doesn't have any qi inside his body, as he is a halfling dragon he still felt how strong his physical body really is.

Then he picked up the knife on the ground and started cutting down several bamboos there. Then he started making a bamboo hut. After two hours, a bamboo house was made with two rooms inside. Then he covered up the roof with dried-up weeds, bamboo leaves along with some bamboo.

" Alright, now time to dig a pit." He murmured to himself. He was satisfied with the bamboo house he made himself.

Then, he picked up the garden hoe and searched a spot nearby, and started digging the ground. He finished digging a small pit and thought about how to fill up the pit with fresh water.

At that time, the man also came back and saw the bamboo house and the small pit nearby.

" Good boy. Alright, I am very satisfied with your task today. Give me your ring." The man nodded at him. Joey gave his space ring to him. Anyway, he can't use it for now.

The middle-aged man touched the ring and brought out a longbow and an arrow. Joey was astonished at how he brought out things from the space ring without using any qi.

He put the arrow in the string of the longbow and pulled the string. He then murmured some mantra on his lips. Afterward, he pointed the arrow toward the earth and released it. Half of the arrow entered the earth. Then, freshwater started flowing out from the back of the arrow and entered the pit. After some time the pit was filled with water to the brim. He chanted another mantra silently and the arrow returned back to his hand. He put the longbow and the arrow inside the space ring.

" Master, will you start teaching me?" Joey approached him and asked with a smile.

" For today, son, I will give you two questions. You need to give me your answers tomorrow. Do you agree?" He said.

" I agree. Please, master." Joey replied honestly.

" What is water? How can we humans learn from its nature?" The man said.

" Boy, you prepare meals for us tonight. " He added. Then he entered the bamboo house.

Joey remained there standing while thinking about his master's questions.

" My master is really just a normal mortal. Even though he has no essence inside his body, he seems to be very strong in his own way. Also, the questions just now seem to be very simple. But, it also means something. "

Somewhere, in the evergreen world, the teams of four nations were currently before a big array. They all agreed to keep the secret of this world and distribute the resources here among the four nations equally. Then, they entered the array one by one and teleported back to the cave they just entered. The last one to leave was the Tang nation's groups.

"Princess Mie lien, should we wait for the 5th prince?" Captain Yang Chao asked.

" No captain, we are leaving too. My brother will be fined. Let's all leave." She ordered.

Then, they all entered the teleportation array. All of them disappeared and appeared before the cave they entered.

" Hahaha, we are back." Everyone cheered and they hugged one another for their safe return.

" Silence! We all are going back to the northern fort. Captain" Tang Mie ordered.

Captain Yang Chao nodded and whistled.

A loud screeching of a bird was heard by everyone. Afterward, a large black eagle appeared in the sky and landed beside them.

Captain Chao approached the giant bird, took out a beast core, and fed on its mouth.

They all jumped on its back and travel back toward the northern fort quickly.
