Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Situ Yi was already at the alchemy shop and reported everything based on Zhang Fei's instructions, but Lian Jinshu seemed doubtful about it because Xian Feng had never interfered in the alchemy union's affairs before.

*Clang*

Lian Jinshu immediately looked at the old man who had just arrived in the shop in surprise, but he quickly came out from behind the counter and saluted him. "What brings you to my place all of a sudden, Minister Yang?"

"Old Lian, I have come to deliver my Emperor's orders." Minister Yang's answer made Lian Jinshu tense. "Emperor Xian forbids you from approaching Zhang Fei and his family because he is a friend of the imperial family, and he will not hesitate to punish you if you send people to attack them once again.

He doesn't want to cause problems with the Alchemy Union, but he has firmly stated that he will protect anyone who has a good relationship with his family."

'Damn it! I didn't expect that brat to actually be related to Emperor Xian and his family.' Lian Jinshu mumbled to himself, his teeth clenched.

Minister Yang then looked at Situ Yi, causing him to subconsciously take a few steps back. "Emperor Xian assigned Old Wen and Old Feng to protect Zhang Fei and his family, and they previously beat that guy just to give you a little warning. He also ordered them to kill anyone who had evil intentions toward them, including the guards from the alchemy union.

That's why you should reconsider your actions and stay away from them, or else you and all your subordinates will die."

Lian Jinshu's body stiffened after hearing that, but Minister Yang didn't say anything else and immediately left the shop. 'Bastard! How dare that shitty Emperor threaten me! I will definitely report this matter to my organization!' "Go back to your place and wait for my next order!"

"Yes."

After Situ Yi's departure, Lian Jinshu pulled out a communication device. However, he hesitated to use it due to his familiarity with Xian Feng's character and his unwavering commitment to protecting Zhang Fei and his family, even if it meant fighting the alchemy union.

After thinking things through, Lian Jinshu still contacted his higher-ups, but their reply was beyond his expectations as they asked him not to disobey Xian Feng's orders. After all, Xian Kingdom was one of the big kingdoms in the Nine Stars Realm, and its population was very large, so they didn't want to lose the alchemy market in the kingdom.

He couldn't help but sigh at this situation and promptly proceeded to prepare the herbs in accordance with Zhang Fei's orders.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei had returned to the Sky Jade Realm and made his way to the central region, specifically to the portal that led to the Moon Fox's sub-realm. However, he frowned when the portal opened, especially since it was not Hu Lili who walked out from inside but Hu Qiaomu. "Master, Lili is with Hu Gao right now, preventing her from coming out to see you, so Yue'er asked me to see you."

Zhang Fei immediately took out the Huanying Mask and put it on, and he also activated his invisibility before pulling Hu Qiaomu's hand, bringing her back inside.

In a few seconds, they had already arrived in front of Hu Yue's seclusion cave, which shocked Hu Qiaomu. "How could your speed be this fast, Master? Even if Hu Gao used his full speed, he still wouldn't be able to catch you."

"Open the stone door." After she opened it, Zhang Fei hurriedly carried Hu Qiaomu inside and canceled his invisibility. "Yue'er, I'm here."

Hu Yue smiled at Zhang Fei's arrival, but she was also curious as she couldn't sense his aura. "How can you suppress your aura so neatly? This way, Hu Gao's subordinates won't be able to detect you."

"You may not be able to see it, but I'm wearing a mask right now, and it completely conceals my aura." Hu Yue immediately stood up and touched Zhang Fei's face, and she could feel the mask, even though it was invisible to her eyes. "I got it by chance in the Nine Stars Realm, so I don't have to worry about infiltrating this sub-realm anymore." 'Buy three sets of the new beast pills, Mei.'

[Yes, master.]

{3,000 Lower Grade Beast Core has been deducted from your balance.}

{You got Beast Vitality Pill x3}

{3,000 Lower Grade Beast Core has been deducted from your balance.}

{You got Beast Soul Pill x3}

{1500 Intermediate Grade Beast Core has been deducted from your balance.}

{You got Beast Bloodline Pill x3}

{300,000 beast essence has been deducted from your balance.}

Zhang Fei immediately handed two sets of pills to Hu Yue, one set for her and another set for Hu Lili. Since Hu Qiaomu was on his side now, he decided to give her a new set of beast pills, and he also gave her the previous three pills.

Hu Qiaomu was delighted to receive those pills, especially since she had heard about their effects from Hu Yue and Hu Lili, but she was still curious about the three new pills.

Hu Yue also seemed curious about those pills, so Zhang Fei explained to them directly about the effects of each pill. "All right, you two can swallow them now, and I will teach you something else after Hu Lili comes back."

Both women immediately sat cross-legged and began to swallow their pills one by one. On the other side, Zhang Fei sat on a stone chair, monitoring Hu Lili's location with a serious look, but he could see that she and Hu Gao were seated slightly apart. 'That old fox! I really want to kill him right now, but alas, my cultivation is still at 1-Star Earth Realm.

I can't possibly face him and his subordinates with my current strength, and I must at least reach the 10-Star Heaven Realm first.'

Hearing that, Mei wanted to say something to Zhang Fei, but she dropped her intention because her master had already been affected by his arrogance as a heavenly fox, so he wanted to destroy Hu Dong and Hu Gao with his own ability.

A while later, Hu Yue had finished swallowing the three pills, so she immediately stood up and sat on Zhang Fei's lap, embracing his neck and pressing their foreheads together. "All your pills are too amazing, and Hu Dong will never be able to beat me with my current state. He will never be able to force me to marry him, and I will embarrass him on the day of the fight to determine our partner."

"Haha." Zhang Fei then retrieved a large quantity of another type of pill and several bottles filled with his Yang Qi, which he then handed to Hu Yue. "This pill is a Qi Essence Pill, and it will increase the speed of your Qi absorption. I have a better pill, but you can only take it if you dual-cultivate with me. Unfortunately, we can't do that right now, as they might detect my presence.

You can use them when I'm not by your side, and your cultivation will definitely break through to 2-Star Sovereign Realm faster than your expectations."

Hu Yue immediately stored everything in her storage ring. "Anyway, my mother's cultivation has already broken through to the 2-Star Sovereign Realm, and they can help her break through to the 3-Star. If she and Aunt Qiaomu reach that stage, they will be as strong as Hu Gao, so we have nothing to fear from him.

Unfortunately, there are too many members of our race who are loyal to him, making it impossible for us to openly oppose him."

"It's okay, you guys don't need to fight Hu Gao for now, and I will get rid of him in the future." Zhang Fei then touched Hu Yue's forehead, imparting the Yin-Yang Soul Refining art and the Sun-Moon Harmony Sutra to her.

After Hu Qiaomu finished swallowing her pills, Zhang Fei also imparted his two dual cultivation techniques and the soul cultivation technique to her. He also made sure to give her yang qi and the Qi Essence Pill, as he believed that her faster cultivation would be more beneficial to him.

Suddenly, they heard the stone door roll to the side, prompting them to turn towards the exit, where they found Hu Lili stunned, particularly after seeing Zhang Fei. She quickly came back to her senses, went inside, and closed the stone door again. "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I come here especially for you?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Fei immediately put Hu Yue down from his lap and moved in front of Hu Lili, making her take a step back. However, he immediately restrained her, held both her hands above her head, and pushed her against the stone door. "What are you doing? Are you going to force me to be your partner? Let my hands go! Yue'er is here!"

Hu Yue shook her head and spoke to Hu Lili. "Mother, I have told you many times that I don't mind if you become my partner, so you don't need to mind me."

"Did you hear that? Yu'er doesn't mind that, but you still want to use her as your excuse to reject me." Hu Lili wanted to argue with Zhang Fei, but his lips had suddenly sealed hers. Despite this, he kissed her briefly before separating their lips a minute later. "If I wanted to force you to be my partner, I could have done so at our first meeting, remember?

However, I don't want you to accept me out of force; instead, I want you to accept me based on your own feelings. Therefore, I will wait for you to open your feelings and accept me."

Hu Lili was shocked when Zhang Fei imparted the Yin-Yang Soul Refining Art and the Sun-Moon Harmony Sutra to her, especially after she read the description of those soul techniques. As for the Flawless Yin-Yang Art, he already imparted it to her when he came to their sub-realm the first time.

After Zhang Fei let go of Hu Lili, Hu Yue immediately handed the three new beast pills to her mother. "Aunt Qiaomu and I have already swallowed them, so you can swallow them now, and Fei will teach us how to cultivate our souls."

"All right." Hu Lili immediately sat cross-legged after receiving the three pills from her daughter, and she swallowed them one at a time for a considerable period.

After Hu Lili finished, Zhang Fei then explained to the three women about the soul cultivation technique in detail, which surprised them. After all, none of the cultivators in the Sky Jade Realm knew about the soul cultivation path, and some of them knew about it because of him.

"Although the Yin-Yang Refining Soul Art is a dual soul cultivation technique, the three of you can still absorb Qi from the air into your souls to cultivate them manually, but the effect will not be as fast as dual soul cultivating with me."

"Can we try dual soul cultivation now, Fei?"

"Sure." Zhang Fei immediately transformed into his half-fox form and sat in front of Hu Lili, with the two women sitting on either side of him. He then brought three of his five foxtails to them.

"You guys can hold them and release your souls." Immediately, the three women released their souls and grasped Zhang Fei's tails, with their own souls also grasping the tails of his soul. He then brought them into an invisible state, or Hu Gao's subordinates would notice his presence.

"You guys don't need to hold yourselves back; just channel your Yin Qi into my soul as much as possible, and I will channel my Yang Qi into the souls of the three of you at the same time."

The three women seemed hesitant to do that, but Zhang Fei assured them that it wasn't a problem for him because he and his clones were already used to doing dual soul cultivation with five women at once, so they followed his instruction and channeled their Yin Qi into his soul as much as possible.

Unlike them, Zhang Fei divided his Yang Qi into their souls and channeled it slowly, especially since the three of them were not yet soul cultivators. Even so, they were already quite experienced in cultivation, so they could understand his previous explanation. Gradually, their Yang and Yin Qi began to swirl within each other's souls, and their movements intensified with each passing second.

An hour later, the three women have officially stepped foot onto the soul cultivation path, and their soul power is at the half-perfection stage of the mortal soul level. However, they continued their dual soul cultivation because the situation outside was still safe, and they only stopped after their soul power reached the half-perfection stage of the mortal soul level.

Zhang Fei and the three women immediately halted the flow of their Yin and Yang Qi, then returned their souls to their bodies. Their soul power increased several times over, leaving them looking extremely satisfied.

"This way, the soul power of the three of you is stronger than Hu Gau and the rest of your race, but you must continue cultivating your souls, and the best time for you to do so is at night."

The three women naturally understood that. Hu Yue then asked Zhang Fei. "Are you going back to the Nine Stars Realm now?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei then lifted Hu Yue to her feet, embraced her, and gave her a deep kiss. "I promised to take Lin'er as my wife tonight, and she should have finished her training by now, so I must return there to fulfill my promise to her. Anyway, I'll come here at least once a week, and I'll help the three of you to increase your soul power.

As for Hu Gao's mark in your soul, I will try asking my two seniors in soul cultivation about it, and they might have a method to remove it."

Hu Yue nodded with a smile, particularly because the mark left by Hu Gao in her soul prevented her from staying by Zhang Fei's side. She sincerely hoped that he could remove it as soon as possible. "You should go back now, or Zhang Lin will wait for you for too long."

After Zhang Fei disappeared from their sight, Zhang Yue immediately sat down with her mother and Hu Qiaomu again. "I think we should focus on cultivating the soul for the time being, especially since our soul power is still at the bottom level. As for our cultivation, we can increase it by using his yang qi."

"Yeah, I agree with you." Hu Qiaomu replied while nodding.

As for Hu Lili, she still felt a dilemma about cultivating using Zhang Fei's yang qi, but she eventually agreed with her daughter. "Let's continue cultivating our souls."

When Zhang Fei arrived at their residence, he saw that most of his wives were completely exhausted after they fought with the beasts since morning, and their bodies were covered in their blood, so he asked them to take a rest.

Since he still had two daily quests, Zhang Fei summoned his first and second clones out of the training space so they could complete them faster before returning to dual cultivate with their respective partners.

Zhang Fei immediately took Zhang Lin into the cloud mansion in the training space, especially since dual cultivation by using the effects of the Yin-Yang Harmony Array would be more beneficial to them.

"Big Brother! You wait here first, okay? I'll take a shower to clean my body first, and we'll do it after."

"All right." As he waited for Zhang Lin to take a bath, Zhang Fei decided to take out the 1000-pound hammer from his storage ring, and he was able to lift it with ease. "Training under the pressure of sixteen times gravity not only increased my speed several folds, but my raw strength also increased significantly.

If I can adapt to the pressure of thirty-two times gravity, then no cultivator in the middle realms can match my speed. Unfortunately, I can only train under that pressure after my cultivation reaches the quasi-divine realm, so it's still a long way off."
