Chapter 19 – The Wild Mountain Range (2/2)

Several days later, Ye Ron came up with a conspiracy. Again, he sent Qingxie, to tell Qingyu that if she rejected the marriage or committed suicide, her brother would be in danger. This method actually took effect, as Qingyu didn’t mention any wrist-cutting or hanging herself with a piece of scarf. And she even promised them to marry Wuhen as soon as her brother returned home.

……

In one of the houses of the Ye Castle, the room was illuminated with lights.

“Young master, what’s our next step?”

In the middle of the room, there sat a young man in white clothing, who was full of aristocratic hypocrisy. His eyes were extremely sparkling, like two brilliant lights on his head. There also stood two elders on both sides of him, one was in black clothing, while the other was in white clothing. The elder in white clothing was Elder Shi, it was he who had asked the young master – Wuhen.

However, the elder in black clothing, Elder Mo kept silent, he was pondering with a dark expression.

“Ye Ron and Ye Qingkuang are just two incompetent bastards. They failed to finish such an easy task! Young master, let’s do it by ourselves, I mean, we can bind the girl and send her to our Snowing City.” Elder Mo came up with an evil alternative.

“No!” Wuhen waved his hands disapprovingly, “Never act rashly and warn the enemy. Otherwise, our plans will be disrupted. Elder Mo, think twice before you offer me a suggestion. Besides, I suppose that those elders in the Ye Family already know the identity of this girl, her Jade Spirit Body. If this is the case, they will probably not allow me to marry her. Plus, Qingyu is a girl of moral integrity; she will not surrender so easily, and if she killed herself… All of our efforts would’ve been in vain.”

“Yes, your highness!” Both Elder Mo and Elder Shi furiously nodded their heads. They realized that if Qingyu died, then her body would be a mere corpse. Only the living body would be considered as the Jade Spirit Body.

“Our next steps: first, inform Qingkuang that we will give him another ten bottles of Snow Spirit Dan, and urge him to finish the task as soon as possible. Second, send some capable men to Wild City to arrest Qinghan. If Qingyu still rejects my proposal, we can at least use her brother as a threat. The Jade Spirit Body, I will finally get it.”

“Yes, young master!”

......

It was late at night; Qinghan was sleeping soundly on his big branch. He had no idea about what was happening to his sister.

The first ray of morning sunshine had woken the sleeping Qinghan up. Several minutes later, the whole forest was covered with flaming sunlight.

Qinghan began to cultivate some Battle Qi, which would later be stored in the cells and meridians of his body.

However, the cells in his body could only reserve a small amount of Qi, it mainly depended on the meridians to store the Battle Qi.

For each newborn, there would be some unnecessary stuff congested in their meridians the moment they entered into this world. It required the Battle Qi to dissolve, or wash away this jammed stuff, in order to obtain unobstructed meridians. Once the meridians were cleared up, there would be more space for storing more Battle Qi, which was a prerequisite in any fight, both in defense and in attack.

Now, Qinghan had stored the Battle Qi in his already opened two meridians – his yin- and yang meridians. And he used this stored Battle Qi to erode the stuff congested in his other meridians. Once the Battle Qi in his body was used up, he would once again absorb more Nature Qi, and converted it into Battle Qi. He did this over and over again.

“Oh… This is so inefficient.”

Two hours had passed, before Qinghan stopped cultivating. The twelve meridians in his body were like the twelve rivers congested with numerous sand and mud. Each time he cultivated, it was like scooping out the sand from the large river with his bare hands. If he sped up his digging, the riverbeds would probably collapse. In other words, there was no shortcut for him to immediately get rid of the unnecessary stuff in his meridians.

After a while, Qinghan jumped off the tree and walked deeper into the mountain range. It was finally time to start killing some demonic beasts.
