Chapter 147 Is this something I can hear?
The next day, it snowed heavily all morning, and the sun didn't come out until noon.
Yue Kaishan was practicing the Kaishan Fist, but his father was still worried about his son and insisted on seeing him practice a few more times until he made some visible progress before he would stop.
After a set of punches, the snow in the courtyard was completely extinguished by the force of the punches, especially the steel fists, which almost pierced through the sandbag with a single punch.
The old father sat on the steps and asked, "If your steel prosthetic arm is ever repaired and removed in the future, can it be passed on to other one-armed members of your tribe?"
"Well... Master Yishou didn't say, but I think it should be possible. Just refining these materials would be worth a lot of spirit stones."
“No, no matter who asks you, even if it’s the old man, you have to say no.” The old father was afraid that his child was too honest, so he patted his thigh and said slowly, “If others think that this prosthetic limb can be inherited, those clansmen who have lost their arms may have their own thoughts. Their parents and friends may not all be good people. You can’t see into someone’s heart. It’s always better to be more careful.”
"Dad, the brothers in our family are all great. They'll definitely ask me where I bought it first, and if..."
"What if? Can you be sure the Yue family is a united front? Can you be sure all your soldiers are of high moral character? Can you be sure the bad guys didn't get their information from good people? Remember this, memorize it: if you die, this prosthetic leg will be ruined, got it?"
It seemed like the old father hadn't spoken such a long sentence in a long time; after finishing it in one breath, he coughed a bit.
A father's love is like this: if the future is a sumptuous feast, your mother will keep putting your favorite dishes on your plate, while your father will quietly turn your favorite dishes in front of you and silently start eating the dishes you don't like.
Yue Kaishan agreed, and the courtyard returned to silence, save for the whooshing sound of fists and steady breathing. However... a discordant sound of footsteps grew louder and louder, getting closer.
"Cousin Xingtian, what brings you here? This injury..."
Yue Xingtian, supporting his waist with one hand and using a tree branch he had picked up as a crutch with the other, limped to the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Kai Shan, my cousin will stay here for a few days. I hope it won't bother you."
Yue Kaishan wanted to ask something more, but his father kicked him in the backside. "Why aren't you going to help your cousin inside? Let's talk inside."
He immediately helped his cousin up, while his father asked if he had eaten lunch before hurrying into the kitchen to start cooking.
Upon entering the house, Yue Xingtian struggled to sit down. Seeing his cousin, all the pent-up emotions welled up inside him.
Looking around, he asked in a low voice, "Cousin, how is young friend Cuihong doing?"
"I've taken sleeping pills, so I should be able to sleep until noon tomorrow without any problem."
It wasn't that the Yue family wanted to harm Zhong Ming; they were just trying to save face for the Tang family.
You can't just come out of seclusion and wander around before Tang Chengbo has fully recovered, can you? You can't just barge into someone's meditation room and shout, "Hey, you paper-thin Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator, two realms higher than me, you almost got chopped down by me, and your healing isn't even as fast as mine..."
The Tang family could bite Zhong Ming into eight pieces.
The key point is that Master Cuihong might not be so hated as to do such a despicable thing, but there are such people in the Yue family! The old master knows those troublemakers best. If he sees Master Cuihong recovering from his "external injuries" and going out, he'll definitely go and make a scene.
The only thing we can do is let him sleep for another day.
Upon hearing that there were no outsiders present, Yue Xingtian could no longer contain his frustration and slammed his fist on the table.
Yue Kaishan's eyelids twitched; he had almost smashed the table open.
"Cousin, I failed."
This dual cultivation session, the purest and most powerful burst of Yin and Yang essence, failed to break through the threshold of the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Failed? It's okay, cousin. You have great talent. I think it won't be long before you break through."
"Sigh~ You have no idea." Yue Xingtian's face was more bitter than a bitter gourd. This was not only a regret, but also a disgrace, a huge disgrace!
Do you have any wine?
"Um, cousin, I'm here..."
"Can I drink that?" Yue Xingtian pointed to the jade bottle next to him.
"That's a wedding gift from Brother Cuihong, strong liquor."
This short sentence contained three words that triggered Yue Xingtian's emotional outburst: "newlyweds," "gift," and "strong liquor."
The burly man wiped away his tears, grabbed the jade bottle with his thick, pillar-like arms, and poured wine into the two large bowls.
"cousin....."
"Don't ask, just drink, it's all in the wine."
Yue Xingtian tilted his head back and downed a large bowl of fiery red pine nut wine. Instantly, his stomach felt like it was on fire, but he shouted "Awesome!" as if nothing had happened. Then he slammed his head on the table and started crying.
Yue Kaishan had never seen his cousin cry in his life. He looked at the bowl of wine in his hand with suspicion. Could it be some kind of strange medicinal wine? He took a small sip.
Oh my god, my mouth is burning.
Thus, his plan to drink completely vanished, and Yue Kaishan began the part of comforting people that he wasn't very good at.
"Cousin, if there's anything you need to tell me, just tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone else."
"Kai Shan, you wouldn't believe it, that woman... when she lifted her veil, she looked so gentle and pretty, a delicate young girl, blushing as she looked at me. But then the lamp was blown out, and she took off her clothes... her movements were so fierce, so fierce!"
Despite being a large and burly man, Yue Xingtian was completely suppressed by Tang Yue, who relied on her even more powerful spiritual energy. After all, although she looked lovely, she was actually a few years older than Yue Xingtian and had been cultivating to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for a long time.
Yue Xingtian downed another large bowl of wine, his mouth tilted back, from which scalding hot steam gushed out.
The young couple didn't really care about this; it was a private matter behind closed doors. But... "She broke through to the next realm first." The burly man smiled bitterly. The most important thing in dual cultivation is the balance of Yin and Yang, and at that time, the balance was broken.
"The Yin and Yang energies lost their balance at that time. Her Yin energy frantically absorbed my Yang energy, forming a Yin-Yang balance at the Foundation Establishment stage within her body, almost draining me dry. But that wasn't the most important thing. When her Yin energy surged back into my body, I had no power to resist."
Powerful Yin energy raged within his body, constantly damaging his meridians and seeping into his flesh and blood.
“I’ve tried it. Whenever I try to cultivate and gather new spiritual energy, the yin energy greedily rushes over and immediately steals away that little bit of spiritual power. When yin is dominant, that little bit of yang energy is instantly integrated into the yin energy, which actually enhances its power.”
Yue Xingtian's current condition is extremely poor, not only due to the aftereffects of his failed breakthrough, but also because of the rampant Yin energy within his body, requiring an unknown period of recuperation.
"So, only my sister-in-law broke through to the next realm yesterday? Was that strange phenomenon caused by her alone?"
"Ah."
Good news, I married a wife with exceptional talent.
Bad news, it's too amazing, absolutely brilliant.
