************************************************************************************** This was written purely out of boredom. It's a fantasy/martial arts novel with explicit content, a sudden personal idea, and I doubt many people will like it. Each chapter is approximately 5000 words, and I'll update at least once a week, though there might be more or no updates. Also, please note that there won't be many explicit scenes, especially in the early stages. The focus will be on plot development, and it's likely to be a long story. Please refrain from negative comments if you don't like it. **********
... The old man was resting with his eyes closed. His gray hair indicated he was certainly not young, but his face didn't appear overly aged; instead, it conveyed a sense of weathered life. His body was straight, without the hunchback typical of the elderly, more like that of a young man. The boy sitting opposite him looked to be around twenty years old, with delicate features and a head of thick, black hair that was somewhat disheveled but not unkempt. A hint of mischievousness emanated from his brows, perhaps typical of a boy his age. His eyes had a slightly purple glint, but otherwise, there was nothing particularly unusual about him. About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed, and the old man remained silent. The firewood in front of them was dwindling, and the flames were gradually dying down. "Master…" Seeing his brother leave, and his master still silent, the boy couldn't hold back any longer. "Zifeng, go and get some more firewood to add to the fire." "Yes, Master." The boy called Zifeng got up, went to the cave entrance, got some more firewood, then returned to his original spot and added a few pieces to the fire. "Zifeng, do you know what I need to tell you tonight?" "Master, I suppose you want to tell me some things about the outside world after I leave the mountain. Actually, I've already remembered everything you've told us disciples over the years, so there's no need for you to remind me again." After hearing Zifeng's answer, the old man slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, two tangible beams of cold light shot out from them, but disappeared in the next moment. "Zifeng, what I want to tell you tonight isn't what I've been warning you about before, but something you don't know. I hope you can remember what I'm saying tonight." "Yes, Master." Hearing his master's words, Zifeng finally understood. His master had specifically asked Zihao to go back to the cave to rest first, probably because he wanted to tell him something he hadn't told him before. So he straightened his body and waited for his master to speak again. "Our Xuan Yin Continent has many races, but they all highly value martial prowess, including our human race. What I want to tell you today is about the ten great families of our human race." "This... Master, the ten great families, haven't you told us about them many times already?" "Yes, listen to me." Hearing his master mention the ten great families again, Zifeng couldn't help but interrupt his master once more. "The ten great families, as you know, are Lan, Leng, Xue, Chu, Yan, Zou, Tang, Li, Zhang, and Wang. They hold a martial arts tournament every two years to elect the three strongest families. Currently, the three strongest families are Lan, Leng, and Li, and they enjoy the rights they deserve." After hearing this, Zifeng didn't interrupt his master. Although he had heard these words countless times, he understood that what his master was about to say was something he didn't know. His master paused slightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "The rights enjoyed by the three strongest families are simply the priority in choosing the cities to rule. The first family can choose ten cities, the second family eight, and the third family six. After removing these twenty-four cities, the remaining twenty-one cities are divided equally among the remaining seven families." Indeed, on the Xuan Yin Continent, humans are the most prosperous race, and among them, the ten great families are the most powerful. These ten families have existed since ancient times, dividing the human-occupied areas of the Xuan Yin Continent into forty-five cities, each with its own jurisdiction. "Next, I'll talk about the Zou family, one of the seven great families." "The Zou family? Master, why are you talking about the Zou family, which is of average strength? Do you have a grudge against them?" "Zifeng, the Zou family doesn't have a grudge against me, but against you two brothers!" At this point, the usually composed old man showed a hint of anger! However, he quickly suppressed this anger. "Master, are you telling the truth? Zihao and I have been asking you about our backgrounds, but you always said we were too young to tell you. Now, are you going to tell me?"
The old man sighed, seemingly trying to vent his displeasure, or perhaps feeling saddened by recalling the past. "Zifeng, among the ten great families, there are five families known for their lust. Do you know which five families they are?" "Of course, they are Zou, Tang, Li, Zhang, and Wang." "Yes, that's right. But the original five families known for their lust weren't them!" "Master, what do you mean?" "The original five families known for their lust were Liu, Tang, Li, Zhang, and Wang." Hearing his master say that the Liu family was originally one of the five families known for their lust, Liu Zifeng didn't react for a moment. That's right, Liu Zifeng! After a long while, Zifeng finally asked his master again. "Master, you, you mean the Liu family? That is to say, Zihao and I are surnamed Liu, and we two..." "
Yes, you two brothers are the only remaining bloodline of the Liu family." Hearing his master's affirmative answer, Zifeng's shock lingered for a long time. He never expected that he was actually a descendant of the Liu family, one of the five families known for their lust. This was indeed hard to accept. "Don't be too surprised yet. There are still many things you don't know. Let me finish speaking first." Zifeng raised his head. Even though he was extremely shocked, he still wanted to hear his master continue. After all, he was a descendant of the Liu family. Why was the Liu family replaced? At this moment, the old man also looked up at the sky. Through the obstruction of the tree branches, they could clearly see the bright moon hanging above their heads. "Seventeen years ago, the Liu family was brutally wiped out. This annihilation wasn't solely the work of one or two of the other nine great families. After all, given the Liu family's strength at the time, even if they had weakened, it would have been impossible for one or two families to destroy them together." "So, did the other major families, who weren't involved, just ignore such a massive event as the annihilation of one family?" "Well... because the families involved that night were all masked and didn't wear any family ornaments. Moreover, the Zou family later claimed that they themselves had wiped out the entire Liu family, stating that the Liu family no longer had the strength to continue as one of the ten great families, and therefore they decided to replace them. And the main reason..."
The old man paused here, as if considering whether he should tell Zifeng what he was about to say. "Sigh... since we've come this far, I'll tell you." Seeing the expectation and anger in Zifeng's eyes, the old man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and decided to speak. "The main reason is that most of the other nine major families participated in the extermination of the Liu family! Therefore, those who didn't participate dare to stand up for the Liu family, which has already been wiped out." After saying this, the old man noticed that Zifeng didn't show extreme anger, but rather a sense of dejection and helplessness. "Zifeng, I know what you're thinking, but this is reality. A family that has already been wiped out isn't worth the risks of other families. After all, everyone looks out for themselves! This is what I want to tell you!"
"Yes, Master, I understand." "Hmm, I'm telling you this not so that you'll blindly seek revenge against the major families out of anger after leaving the mountain, nor so that you'll become despondent and lose your spirit! I just want you to understand that you and Zihao are both of the original Liu family bloodline, the Liu family blood flows in your veins, and the responsibility of revitalizing the Liu family can only be borne by the two of you!" Master's words instantly awakened Zifeng, whose spirit had been somewhat dampened. Yes, I am of the Liu family bloodline. Since they destroyed my Liu family, and others dare not step forward to protect it, then I should rely on my own strength to restore the Liu family's prestige! "Yes, Master, Zifeng understands. I will definitely work hard to revitalize the Liu family!" Seeing Zifeng's renewed passion, the old man felt gratified. It seemed Zifeng had indeed grown up. "There's one more thing, Zifeng. The Yin-Yang Manual you've been cultivating isn't actually the real manual." "What!? Master, how could this be? Didn't you tell us to cultivate it since we were little? Why are you only telling me now that the manual is fake?" Zifeng was alarmed by his master's words. The Yin-Yang Manual was the manual he and Zihao had been cultivating since childhood. It was divided into four stages: Heaven, Profound, Earth, and Yellow, each stage having ten levels. Even though they had been cultivating it since childhood, they were both stuck at the tenth level of the Yellow stage and hadn't progressed any further. Could this be because the manual was fake? "Hehe, Zifeng, this 'fake' isn't what you think it is. Actually, I haven't told you the true essence of cultivating the Yin-Yang Manual yet. And this Yin-Yang Manual is also the family heirloom and treasure of your Liu family, one of the five great families of lust." "I see. So we've been cultivating our own family's manual all along. Then, Master, what exactly is the true essence of this manual?" "Hmm... the true essence of the manual is that it's a self-torture manual, hehe." "A self-torture manual? Master, Zifeng still doesn't understand." Listening to his master's words, Zifeng felt a little confused. It was true that cultivating this manual had caused him a lot of suffering, but to call it self-torture didn't seem quite that serious, did it? "Well, actually, with this manual, you and Zihao can only cultivate it to the Yellow Rank right now. To advance further, you must have engaged in sexual relations." "This... there's such a strange manual..." Hearing that the true meaning of the manual was this, Zifeng was both amused and exasperated. Indeed, he and Zihao had been in this deep mountain forest for seventeen years, and they had never even seen a woman, let alone engaged in sexual relations. "Don't be surprised yet. It's not just that. Even if you've engaged in sexual relations, you can't fully cultivate this manual. At most, you can only cultivate it to the tenth level of the Earth Rank. And to cultivate it further, there will be a price to pay." A price?! After all this, you've only cultivated it to the tenth level of the Earth Rank. And to cultivate the remaining two levels of the Heavenly Profound Rank, you have to pay a price? Is it going to be castration?! Thinking of this, Zifeng suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine, and a chill ran down his spine. "Boy, what are you thinking about?" "Nothing, nothing, Master, please continue." "Hehe, although the price isn't as severe as you think, as I said, this is a self-torture manual. The price to cultivate to the Xuan rank is that you first need to obtain the essence blood of a virgin!" "Uh... Master, are you sure this is self-torture and not enjoyment?" "Listen to me, hehe, after obtaining the virgin essence blood, this woman will have to give her body to you and make love with other men. When other men enter her body, the virgin essence blood you obtained will be sensed within you, thus helping you cultivate. Of course, the more virgin essence blood you obtain, the more they are willing to make love with other men, and the faster your cultivation speed will be." "This...this...how is this possible!?" The previous annihilation of his family was a blow, but the cultivation secrets of this family manual were unbelievable to Zifeng. Was Master joking with me today? "I know you might not be able to accept this, but this is the true essence of the Yin-Yang Secret Manual of your Liu family, a family of lustful desires. It's also why your Liu family gradually declined and was eventually wiped out by other families. However, the other families didn't know the secrets of this manual; they just thought your family had simply declined and fallen into obscurity." "Then, Master, this is the price for cultivating to the Profound Rank. What about the Heaven Rank? What is the price for the highest Heaven Rank?" "This... the price of the Heaven Rank, I think you can't accept even more. I don't want to tell you now, after all, it will take you a considerable amount of time to cultivate to the tenth level of the Profound Rank. I'll tell you then. Alright, I've told you everything I needed to tell you. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Zifeng was still immersed in shock. He had finally recovered from the despair of the annihilation of his family, and now this unbelievable thing had happened. Was this going to be a blow to his very soul? "Alright, Master, actually there's nothing I don't understand. If I had to say what I don't understand, it's just one thing."
"Oh? What is it?" "Master, who exactly are you to us?" Zifeng's question surprised the old man who was his master. "Hehe, Zifeng, of course I'm your master. I've already told you that I unintentionally saved you two back then. Why would you still ask such a question?" "If I'm just our master, how do I know the secret behind our family's annihilation, and how do I have our family's secret manuals for us to cultivate? I even know the true meaning of cultivation so clearly?" "Hehe, it seems you've really grown up, Zifeng. You're not as easily fooled as you were when you were little. Alright, who I am isn't really important. What you need to know is that I'm your master who wants to help you, the only person you can trust right now, and someone who will absolutely protect your lives! That answer should be enough to put your doubts about me to rest." Staring into his master's eyes, Zifeng admitted that he couldn't see through his master at all, but he believed that his master, who had raised and cared for the brothers for twenty-seven years, would never want to harm them. "I'm sorry, Master, Zifeng shouldn't have doubted you." Untying his coiled legs, Zifeng knelt, placed his hands on the ground, and kowtowed heavily, indicating that he shouldn't have doubted his master. "Hehe, Zifeng, you're now twenty. I said before that once you turned twenty, I would let you leave the mountain. Now I've told you what I needed to tell you. Tomorrow is your departure day. But remember, you must return in three years. At that time, Zihao will also be twenty, and you will lead him out of the mountain. So, your actions in these three years will determine whether Zihao will suffer or enjoy life with you." "Yes, Master, Zifeng understands." "Well, it's getting late. Go back and rest." After saying this, the master got up and walked into the cave first. Zifeng followed him. The next morning, Zifeng had already packed his luggage. Besides a few clothes, there were only a few silver coins and some dry food given to him by his master, so his luggage was simple. "Alright, Zihao, don't see me off anymore. Remember to practice your skills diligently and listen to your master. I will definitely come back to pick you up and we'll leave the mountain together in three years." Seeing that Zihao was already quite a distance from the cave, yet still reluctant to leave, Zifeng had no choice but to persuade him. "Okay, brother, then you must be careful in the future." Zihao looked very similar to Zifeng, with purplish eyes, slightly chubby, and with a more innocent look. "Yeah, don't worry. Alright, I'm off!" Without further hesitation, Zifeng glanced one last time at the distant mountains and then turned and ran into the forest, leaving Zihao standing there. At the same time, on a protruding boulder in the mountains above the cave, their master was standing there. Suddenly, a few leaves swirled in the wind, and a masked man dressed in black knelt on one knee behind the old man. "Master, is it really alright to send Liu Zifeng out of the mountain now?" "Hmm... I have my own plans. Feng, keep a close eye on him in secret and ensure his safety. However, don't act rashly unless absolutely necessary. Remember, never reveal your identity to anyone! Otherwise..."
"Yes, Master, I understand!" "Hmm, go." Another breeze blew by, carrying a few fallen leaves. The man in black had already disappeared. Zifeng, who was running towards the edge of the forest, was filled with excitement and longing. Since he was three years old and couldn't remember anything, his master had brought him to this forest. Now, he had been here for seventeen years. Today, he could finally leave, and his purpose for leaving was quite clear... He looked down at the bronze token in his hand. This token was given to him by his master that morning before he left. Although his master had spoken casually at the time, he knew that this token would be his only lifeline if he encountered danger after leaving the mountain! Tightening the pack strapped to his back, Zifeng quickened his pace once more...
(II) Acquaintance and Companionship Xuan Yin Continent is the name of this world. It consists of five continents of varying sizes and countless small islands, inhabited by various known and unknown races. The known races with independent thought are humans, demons, beastmen, monsters, elves, werewolves, and vampires. Among them, humans, demons, and beastmen are the most numerous, comprising approximately 70% of the total population of the seven races. Elves and vampires are the fewest, making up only about 10% combined. The remaining 20% consists of monsters and werewolves. The human race occupies the main continent of Xuan Yin Continent, also known as the First Continent, the largest continent. Humans occupy a large portion of this continent, while the remaining unoccupied areas are mostly primeval forests. The Beastmen are primarily located on the Second Continent, which lies southwest of the First Continent. Slightly smaller and partially connected, the Second Continent is separated from the First Continent by dense primeval forests, effectively preventing conflict between the two races, as traversing primeval forests at will is not something ordinary people can do. The Demons occupy the Third Continent, roughly the same size as the Second Continent, located east of the First Continent across the sea, and connected only to the Fourth Continent in the far north. The Fourth Continent, located in the far north of the entire Xuan Yin Continent, connects to both the First and Third Continents, and is about half the size of the First Continent. It is mainly inhabited by the Demon, Werewolf, and Elf races. The Fifth Continent, located in the far south of the world, is similar in size to the Fourth Continent but is not connected to any other continent. Therefore, few have ever been there, and those who have seem to have never returned, making the Fifth Continent the most mysterious place on the Xuan Yin Continent. Finally, the Vampires are not only few in number but also extremely elusive, primarily residing in various primeval forests. At this moment, Liu Zifeng was in a primeval forest, the forest between the first and second continents. He had been away from his cave for a day, and despite his constant running, he still hadn't escaped the forest, demonstrating its vastness. "Damn it, just how big is this primeval forest? It's been a whole day, and I still haven't gotten out!" After leaping over a branch, Zifeng landed on the ground, sat down against a towering tree, and complained to himself. He then took out some dry rations from his pack and swallowed a few mouthfuls hastily. "Ugh... these rations aren't very tasty. I'll definitely have a good meal once I get out! But I wonder how expensive the food is at those restaurants my master mentioned outside." Picking up the few silver coins his master had given him before he left, Zifeng was slightly worried. After all, outside the forest, he couldn't hunt and kill whatever he wanted to eat like he did in the forest. Food outside was owned and had to be bought, and the money he had brought didn't seem to be much. On the Xuan Yin Continent, all races use the same currency, from amethyst coins to gold coins, then silver coins, and finally copper coins, all at a 1:100 exchange rate. Zi Feng currently has five silver coins, which is quite a sum for an ordinary person, roughly equivalent to the price of ten wild buffalo. After putting the coins away and glancing at the setting sun, Zi Feng got up, slung his pack over his shoulder again, and prepared to set off. After all, in this primeval forest, if he stayed until dark, who knows what ferocious beasts might appear? Little did he know, if we're talking about ferocious beasts, he had already encountered countless along the way; it was just that someone had cleared the path for him beforehand. Only when the sun had completely set did Zi Feng finally emerge from the primeval forest and reach a nearby road. "Finally out! As Master said, there's a small town not far from here. Just follow the road east and you'll reach it. I still need to keep going." After confirming his direction, Zifeng didn't linger. He channeled his energy again and sped eastward along the road towards Nanliang Town, a small town under Nanchuan City. This town is located at the southwestern end of the First Continent, very close to the primeval forest between the First and Second Continents. This is the town Zifeng has arrived at. "This is the town outside? It's almost identical to the picture Master showed us. Hmm... it seems I need to find an inn to stay in first." Generally speaking, although the towns under the main city also belong to the managing families of the main city, it's rare for families to assign their members to towns. Therefore, Zifeng didn't encounter any obstacles when entering the town. He wandered around the town for a few minutes and finally arrived at an ordinary inn. After asking for a room and ordering a few dishes, he spent a total of more than 60 copper coins, which made Zifeng feel quite distressed. "A hotel room costs 30 copper coins, and these dishes cost another 30 copper coins. The money's going out of control so quickly. I need to find a way to make money soon." After eating, Zifeng was finally able to lie down comfortably in bed to rest. The day's journey had exhausted him, and he quickly fell asleep. The next morning, Zifeng was still asleep when he was woken by a commotion downstairs. Annoyed, he got up and went to the corridor to look down, wanting to see who was disturbing his peaceful sleep so early. Downstairs, he saw a plain-looking long-haired boy sitting in a chair. His hair was tied back, and he carried what appeared to be a long spear on his back. A package, presumably his luggage, sat on the table in front of him. Opposite him stood three burly men, glaring angrily. They wore animal hide clothing and each carried a large knife. "Kid, hand over the money! If we three hadn't been so careless yesterday, you definitely wouldn't have been able to catch that tiger!" The burly man on the far left stepped forward, brandishing his broadsword, and spoke to the boy in front of him. "Hmph, what a joke! I've been following that tiger for ages. If you hadn't suddenly appeared and startled it, not only would you have failed to catch it, but it would have almost injured you. I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble. In fact, I saved you guys; you should be thanking me." "You, you brat, stop making excuses! If we hadn't rushed in first, you definitely wouldn't have caught it. You ran off with the prey while we were healing, and now we've run into you again. Enough nonsense! Hand over the money from selling the tiger, or we won't be polite." After hearing this exchange, Zifeng roughly understood what had happened. It seemed to be a dispute over hunting prey. But for three burly men to bully a boy seemed a bit excessive, didn't it? The people around didn't even step forward to stop him, it seemed that outsiders were only concerned with their own safety. Thinking of this, and seeing the three burly men below eager to attack the boy, Zifeng jumped down from the building, landing right next to them. "Hey, you guys, not only are you ganging up on the one with more men, but three adults are bullying a boy, aren't you ashamed?" Seeing Zifeng suddenly land, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and now that they heard him speak up for the seated boy, the three burly men's faces grew even more displeased. "Kid, what's it to you? Don't you dare meddle, or you'll get beaten up too!" The burly man on the far left of the three said angrily. "Third brother! Hehe, young brother, you may not know the whole story, actually this boy stole our prey..." The burly man in the middle, who seemed to be the eldest brother, finally spoke up, scolding his third brother before speaking to Zifeng in a slightly more friendly tone. "No need for explanations. I think I understood your conversation just now. This prey shouldn't have been yours in the first place, and now you're causing trouble for this young man. Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?"
Zifeng didn't give them a chance to finish speaking. Since these three were there to cause trouble for the young man, there was no need to give them a friendly look. This was typical of Zifeng's personality—he was always ready to help those in need, regardless of whether the other party was stronger than him; he couldn't stand by and watch someone be bullied. "You! Looks like you're really asking for trouble! Don't blame us then!" His words interrupted by Zifeng, the eldest brother finally lost his temper. He glanced at his two brothers, clearly ready to attack. "Thank you, friend, but… you'd better not get involved!" Just then, the young man, who had been sitting, stood up abruptly, kicked over the table in front of him, and simultaneously reached behind him with his right hand, pulling out a concealed silver spear and thrusting it forward. "Watch out!" Seeing the table flying towards him, the eldest brother shouted and quickly retreated, slashing down with his broadsword, splitting the table in two. But the silver spear followed immediately, and the burly man, unable to dodge, could only manage to sidestep, the spear piercing his left shoulder. Meanwhile, the two burly men on either side, having only dodged after their leader's warning, had no time to react. Turning back, they saw their brother wounded. After stabbing the man, the young man immediately kicked him in the chest, sending him flying. "Big Brother!" Seeing their brother injured and on the ground, the two men cried out in unison, turning to the young man and raising their broadswords to strike. Seeing the two men rushing at him from both sides, the young man gripped his spear, butt-down, and kicked one of them. Unexpectedly, the opponent was all bark and no bite, easily sent flying by the young man's kick. The boy, having just landed, turned around to straighten his spear, intending to turn back and deal with the other burly man. However, he saw the other man already lying on the ground, and the boy who had spoken up for him earlier now had one foot on his chest. "Such trash dares to cause trouble? I thought my first fight would finally give me some exercise, but it's over so quickly." Zi Feng shrugged helplessly. Seeing that all three were incapacitated, he smiled at the boy and turned to walk upstairs to his room. Not long after, Zi Feng emerged from his room again, this time having packed his belongings and preparing to leave. Downstairs, he found the boy from before still sitting there eating, but the broken table had been replaced. Judging by the inn's efficiency, fights probably happened frequently there; there were likely plenty of spare tables and chairs. He wanted to go over and say hello again, but worried the boy might think he was asking for something in return, even though he hadn't really helped… After thinking it over, Zi Feng simply walked out of the inn. Since the matter was resolved, there was no need to go any further. However, he hadn't gone far from the inn when the boy chased after him. "Hey, thanks for earlier." Zifeng turned around, saw it was the boy from before, and waved with a smile. "Not at all, I didn't help you much. I'm sure even without me, you could easily handle the last one with your skills." "Heh, you're really strange. You helped me for no reason, and then left without asking for anything in return. And from what you just said, this is your first time fighting?" "This…" Zifeng scratched his head. It was indeed his first time fighting, but how could he explain it? Could he say that his whole family was killed, and that he and his master had been living in the primeval forest ever since? "Actually, this is indeed my first time fighting. I'm an orphan, adopted by an old man deep in the mountains. He took me as his disciple and taught me some martial arts. I only came out of the mountains yesterday, so I'm really unfamiliar with this place." Although Zifeng's answer was clearly not very reasonable, the young man didn't press him for details. After all, everyone has their own unspeakable secrets that they can't tell outsiders, just like he was. "Oh, I see. So, my name is Zhao Yun, what's yours?" "Oh, my name is Zifeng." Hearing the other person say his name, Zifeng quickly gave his name as well, but he didn't reveal his surname. Although there were many people with the surname Liu in the world, his family wasn't the only one, he still didn't want to reveal his surname too early. "Zifeng, um... so now that you've just come down from the mountain, what are your plans for the future?" "Oh, to be honest, I really don't have any. I know absolutely nothing about the outside world. My master only told me a little bit when we were in the mountains, but now that I'm here, I find that the outside world is really complicated."
Zifeng looked around at the buildings of all sizes and the people coming and going, indicating that he really didn't know anything about the outside world. "Haha, actually, this place isn't that complicated. It's just a remote town. If you go to other cities or even towns, that's when things get really complicated. There are all sorts of guilds and factions, and you'll probably find it even more chaotic."
"It seems I really need to familiarize myself with the outside world first, otherwise, it'll be troublesome if I don't know anything." Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Zifeng also realized that he really knew too little. Although his master had tried his best to tell him things before, he had never actually seen it, so he still couldn't truly understand. "Or, if you don't mind, I could come with you? I've never really had anything to do anyway, just wandering the world, haha." "Really? Of course! I can also check in with you about the outside world anytime. But, I don't plan to go anywhere right now..." "Well... so what's your purpose in coming down from the mountain?" The two walked to the roadside as they talked, their conversation now relaxed enough for friends. "My purpose... well, I want to become stronger!" "Become stronger? Indeed, everyone on the Xuan Yin Continent wants to become stronger. It's normal for you to have this goal." Seeing Zi Feng's suddenly determined gaze, Zhao Yun nodded understandingly, assuming that Zi Feng also wanted to gain greater strength to have a higher status on the continent. "No, not just ordinary strength, I want to become the strongest, because I have a blood feud to avenge!"
It seems that Zi Feng has some kind of story behind him. Seeing the anger that Zi Feng unintentionally revealed, Zhao Yun didn't speak, but just stared into his eyes, thinking with a slight feeling. "Sorry, I got a little emotional." Remembering the massacre of his family, Zifeng couldn't control his emotions and became agitated again, realizing he'd said some things he shouldn't have. "It's alright. You must have your own enemies, right? But you still need to work on improving your strength before you show your anger, otherwise, if your enemies find out, they might be wary of you, right?" "Yeah, hehe, thanks for the reminder. But, do you know my strength?"
Speaking of his own strength, Zifeng really didn't know much. He only knew that the Yin-Yang Manual he cultivated had reached the tenth level of the Yellow Rank, but he didn't understand how his true strength was measured. "What? You don't know the power levels in the Xuan Yin Continent? Those three guys we just dealt with were all Hermits, except the leader was a level eight Hermit, and the other two were level five. As for you, you're a level seven Hermit Master, which is quite impressive for your age!" Hearing Zhao Yun mention Hermits and Hermit Masters, Zifeng was completely clueless. It seemed his master hadn't even told him something so important! What a damn old man! Meanwhile, the master who was instructing Zihao in front of the cave in the primeval forest suddenly sneezed a few times. "What's wrong? Did I catch a cold? Sigh… I really am getting old. Since Zifeng left, I've always felt like I forgot to tell him something. What is it? Sigh…" "So, how exactly are these skill levels divided? And how do you distinguish someone else's level?"
"Alright, on the Xuan Yin Continent, there are ten levels of cultivation: Hermit, Hermit Master, Hermit King, Hermit Emperor, Hermit Venerable, Hermit Sect Master, Hermit Emperor, Hermit Saint, Hermit Immortal, and Hermit God. Each level has ten grades, and only after reaching grade ten can one advance to the next grade. As for identifying someone else's grade, you just need to use your divine sense to probe their dantian. If their cultivation is lower than yours, you will naturally know, but if their cultivation is higher, you will not be able to tell." After explaining all this in one breath, Zhao Yun sighed, realizing that even things that ordinary people know are quite difficult to explain clearly. "I see. So, my current cultivation level is Hermit Master Grade Seven." After hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, Zi Feng probed his body with his divine sense and indeed found seven tadpole-sized things floating and rotating in his dantian. Presumably, that was the so-called Hermit Master Grade Seven. However, when he tried to probe Zhao Yun's body, he found that his divine sense could not enter his body at all. "Hehe, are you trying to probe my strength? I'm a level nine Hidden Master, two levels higher than you, so you can't detect me." "I see..." "Well, alright, let's not talk about this here. Although you want to become stronger, you also need enough money to survive. Let's go, I'll take you to the nearest city. There you can join a guild and take on missions to earn rewards and improve your strength." "Okay, thank you so much." "Hehe, it's nothing." The two then set off again, heading towards the nearest city, Nan'an. (Part 3) Lust Guild After leaving Nanliang Town, Zifeng and Zhao Yun sped along, arriving at their destination, Nan'an City, in just about half an hour. On the way, Zhao Yun once again witnessed Zifeng's ignorance of the Xuan Yin Continent. For example, Zifeng asked if there were any mounts or similar things. He was quite tired from traveling like this, and the answer was, of course, yes, Zhao Yun explained it to him simply. Mounts on the mainland are divided into three categories: sea, land, and air. Sea mounts are less commonly used, so their prices are relatively cheaper. Flying mounts, unaffected by land, sea, or air conditions, are the fastest mode of transportation in any environment, and therefore are relatively expensive.
Let's compare the three cheapest sea, land, and air mounts: the sea mount – the Turbid Fish, costs about 30 silver coins; the land mount – the Warhorse, costs about 80 silver coins; and the flying mount – the Ethereal Butterfly, costs about 5 gold coins! This shows just how popular flying mounts are on the mainland. Zifeng, after hearing this explanation, was speechless with surprise. However, what frustrated him was that his master had only given him five silver coins! Even the cheapest muddy fish couldn't be bought halfway... However, what Zhao Yun said next surprised Zi Feng even more. According to Zhao Yun, ordinary mounts had prices, but some mounts didn't even have a price, because they were legendary mounts. The legendary mounts circulating in the world were: the Red Tortoise, the Qilin, the Fire Phoenix, and the Reverse Dragon. Legend has it that they were more than just mounts; they could communicate telepathically with their masters and, after a blood oath, could even merge with their master's body at any time to enhance their combat strength. Besides being surprised, Zi Feng found this somewhat unbelievable. After all, Zhao Yun had said it was a legend, and if it was a legend, who knew if it was true or not? Maybe it was just something someone made up. When Zi Feng and Zhao Yun arrived at the city gate of Nan'an City, they saw that pedestrians here weren't as free to enter and exit as they had been in Nanliang Town. However, the checks weren't too strict; only some people dressed like soldiers stood on both sides of the city gate, casually checking the people coming and going. However, there were also some people dressed in uniform but not resembling soldiers, checking the people entering the city. They were probably members of some family. The two of them joined the queue and slowly entered the city with the crowd. "Those soldiers-looking people, they must be royal soldiers, right?" After entering the city, Zifeng wasn't initially surprised by the dazzling buildings and facilities before him, but instead asked Zhao Yun his question. "Oh, I didn't expect you to know about the royal family even though you don't know the most basic continental power levels? Haha~"
"Damn, can you stop teasing me like that... I did learn a few things from my master back in the mountains." Hearing Zhao Yun's half-joking mockery, Zi Feng felt speechless, but there was nothing he could do. "Haha, okay, okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Yes, that's right, those are the Royal Army's soldiers. The Royal Army is the strongest force besides the Ten Great Families; you could even say that the current Royal Army's strength surpasses any of the Ten Great Families." The Royal Army was established after the Ten Great Families; the exact date of its establishment is unknown. Its original purpose was simply to gather skilled warriors from the common people to resist... The relocation of cities by the ten major families every two years was fraught with problems of arson, murder, and looting. Because the rankings from the biennial martial arts tournament varied among the ten families, the ruling families of cities were constantly changing. Families consistently ranked in the bottom seven were relatively unaffected by the relocation, as cities were allocated fairly and evenly based on wealth. However, for the top three families, even slight changes in ranking could lead to several cities changing hands. Therefore, it was inevitable that families would plunder the city's wealth before the change of leadership. It was under these circumstances that the Royal Family was established. Initially, the Royal Family was not very strong; aside from a few powerful experts, most members were ordinary civilians. After all, it was the common people who suffered the most from the looting. However, as time passed, the Royal Family grew in number and strength, eventually forcing the ten major families to resign themselves to their fate. The powerful civilians were difficult to control, so the royal family agreed to jointly manage all cities with the other families to prevent further looting of the people. Over the years, the royal family's membership continued to grow, eventually exceeding the combined numbers of the ten major families. The royal family also continuously improved its management system, ultimately establishing a system where the strongest individual became emperor to oversee the entire royal family, with various departments established below, each managed by a different powerful individual. However, in recent times, royal rule has gradually become hereditary, meaning the emperor's position is directly inherited by the next generation. Besides recruiting powerful experts from outside the country every year, the current royal family also constantly searches for martial arts prodigies throughout the country, bringing them under their command to cultivate loyal warriors. After listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, Zi Feng didn't show any understanding, but instead asked another question. "Then what about the people in uniform behind those soldiers? Which family are they from?" "Oh, they're from the Zhang family. Their family name is embroidered on their sleeves and collars. You can tell if you get a closer look." "Oh, the Zhang family... a family of lewdness." Hearing that the family mentioned earlier was the Zhang family, one of the five great families of lewdness, Zi Feng became slightly interested. "Hmm? Looks like you do know something. Yeah, the House of Lust, a family that men yearn for, haha~" "Yearn for? Why?" "You...you're kidding, right? The House of Lust, every House of Lust has its own ancestral secret manual of lust. After cultivating it, not only is their power much stronger than others of the same level, but most importantly...their genitals are also unique, driving all women crazy!" "Uh..." Looking at Zhao Yun's yearning expression and gaze, Zi Feng felt slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected Zhao Yun, who seemed so upright, to be so lewd in reality. Speaking of unique genitals, he wondered if his own genitals were unique. Interrupting Zhao Yun, who was still lost in his fantasies, Zi Feng quickly urged him to take him to those so-called guilds. After all, joining a guild was the most important thing right now; lust and such could be considered later. Led by Zhao Yun, the two navigated through the crowds to a location near the city center. The buildings here were diverse and varied, and signs for various guilds came into view. Finally, Zhao Yun and Zi Feng stopped in the middle of this guild street. Several tall buildings stood before them: the Assassin Guild, the Assassin's Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Auction House, and other major guilds, presumably the most powerful ones. Following Zhao Yun's footsteps, Zi Feng, about to step into the Assassin Guild, glanced back inadvertently. Through the bustling crowd, he saw an even more magnificent and towering building standing several dozen meters away diagonally opposite, its purple guild sign particularly eye-catching—the Lust Guild. "Um, Zhao Yun, could we wait a moment before entering the Assassin Guild?" Hearing Zi Feng call out from behind, Zhao Yun turned to look at him and found Zi Feng staring intently at the building diagonally opposite. He followed Zi Feng's gaze. "Um...where do you want to go?" "Yeah! I want to take a look." Zifeng didn't turn around when Zhao Yun asked, still staring intently at the building. Without waiting for Zhao Yun's reply, he immediately started walking diagonally across the street. "Just like when I first saw the Lust Guild, sigh...another boy about to be corrupted." Seeing this, Zhao Yun wasn't surprised. It seemed his reaction when he first saw the Lust Guild wasn't much better than Zifeng's now. But this was only seeing the guild's sign from the outside. What would everyone's behavior be like inside? It was truly something to look forward to. Following behind Zifeng, Zhao Yun quickly walked towards the Lust Guild diagonally across the street. Arriving at the Lust Guild, people were constantly coming and going, and Zifeng even saw a few who didn't seem to be human. "Those are demons, but only low-ranking members. The slightly stronger ones can conceal their demonic horns and massive size, becoming indistinguishable from humans." Seeing Zifeng looking at the demons beside him, Zhao Yun explained from behind. "Oh, they can even transform into humans? That's impressive..." "Alright, it seems you don't understand again. Of the seven races, humans and beastmen cannot change their forms, while demons, after reaching a certain level of power, can freely transform between humans, demons, and beastmen. The demon race, elves, and vampires also need to reach a certain level of power, but they can only transform between themselves and humans. Werewolves, however, can transform between werewolves, wolves, and humans." "I see, alright, I've learned something new again. So, shall we go in and take a look?" It seemed that Zifeng's mind wasn't on this at all after all his explanation; he wondered if Zifeng had even listened... Following the flow of people into the guild, the spacious hall instantly freed Zifeng and Zhao Yun from the crowded throng. "There are so many people here. I really don't understand why everyone's crowding here." "So what are you here for?" Zhao Yun looked at Zifeng with disdain as he listened to his complaints. "Hehe, well... right, there are so many doors in front, which one should we go through?" Zifeng, embarrassed by being exposed, quickly changed the subject and pointed to the doors in front. At the far end of the hall, there were five open doors, each about three meters high and two meters wide. Four burly men stood outside each door, while several beautiful women stood on either side of the door, peeking out. The view inside was blocked by a huge screen, so the inside couldn't be seen. On the wall above the doors were five golden letters: S, A, B, C, and D. "See those letters? That represents the rank. Every guild has ranks. For example, with this, I can enter the C-rank room and enjoy C-rank treatment, hehe." Zhao Yun said, pulling out a bronze plaque from his person and waving it in front of Zi Feng. The front of the plaque had a large "C" and Zhao Yun's name below it, while the back showed the image of the Lust Guild building. "Oh, I see. What about me? I don't have a bronze plaque. Where do I go?" "That's D-rank. Everyone who joins the guild for the first time is D-rank. They'll give you a D-rank bronze plaque when you enter, but it doesn't really matter, haha~" "Damn! That's a rip-off..." "Alright, alright, stop complaining. Since it's your first time, I'll accompany you into the D-rank room."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he walked ahead towards the D-level gate, where the largest number of people were also pouring in. As for the S-level gate, there was practically no one there. Zi Feng followed behind Zhao Yun, squeezing his way to the gate with difficulty. After learning that Zi Feng didn't have a level bronze token, one of the burly men at the gate asked for Zi Feng's name and then told a woman standing inside. Soon after, the woman gave Zi Feng a D-level bronze token engraved with his name, allowing him to pass through smoothly. After going around the huge screen in front, Zi Feng saw four more doors in front of him, but these were slightly smaller than the previous ones. There were no level markings on the doors; instead, they were labeled: Acquisition Hall, Appreciation Hall, Men's Hall, and Women's Hall. "What does this mean?" "As the name suggests, the Acquisition Hall is where you can bring in any male or female slaves you own, and they will consider buying them at a corresponding price. The Spectator Hall is where you can only look, not use. As for the Male and Female Halls, I don't need to explain, right? Anyway, you shouldn't go into the Female Hall." "Oh, so other higher-level sects also have other halls?" "Of course. For example, at level C, there are also Selling Halls, Oral Sex Halls, Breast Sex Halls, and Foot Sex Halls, etc. The women there are of a higher quality than here. As for..." "Even higher-level ones have uniform halls, stocking halls, loli halls, and so on, but I've only heard about them and never been inside." Zifeng was speechless with amazement at the high-level halls Zhao Yun mentioned. He hadn't expected the outside world to be so nice! "By the way, besides the five levels we just saw—S, A, B, C, and D—there are three more levels, but they don't exist in the city. You only find them in the city's lewd guilds."
Hearing that there were three more levels, Zifeng exclaimed that people outside really knew how to enjoy themselves. Wouldn't so many halls drain everyone dry? "What are the other three?" "These three levels are N, T, and R, but as for what kind of halls are inside, I've never even heard of them." "Oh..." The two didn't continue their discussion. After considering it for a while, they decided to enter the viewing hall. After all, although the men's hall allowed them to freely enjoy the women, according to Zhao Yun, the women there were really... Anyway, Zifeng understood from Zhao Yun's expression that it was probably a painful memory for him. After entering the viewing hall, the two saw various women standing on platforms, posing provocatively, dressed in different ways. Many were completely naked, but the two found it utterly uninteresting. They, however, were quite impressed by the men sitting on the soft chairs below, constantly masturbating. After a short while, they came out. Zifeng turned back and gave Zhao Yun another sympathetic look, thinking that even the women in the viewing hall looked like this, so what about the men's hall…? Seeing Zifeng's sympathetic gaze, Zhao Yun blushed and walked silently towards the door. Once outside the Lust Guild, Zifeng remembered to ask Zhao Yun how to upgrade the guild's level. Zhao Yun patiently answered. The rank of the Lust Guild is increased based on individual contributions. This means contributing money or effort, such as selling male or female slaves at the acquisition center. You can choose to pay or not; if you don't pay, the guild will record your contribution. Alternatively, you can donate money directly to the guild, which will also count towards your contribution. When your contribution reaches a certain level and the guild management deems it sufficient for a rank increase, you'll receive a higher-ranking bronze medal on your next visit. However, there are uncertainties. For example, the top management members of the guild could decide who receives an S-rank bronze medal, and no one has the authority to interfere. Regarding male and female slaves, while slavery is forbidden among humans, sex slavery is permissible. Furthermore, the Lust Guild requires the sex slaves to be sold voluntarily; otherwise, the royal family will intervene to release the slave and arrest the seller. Actually, the requirement of a sex slave's consent only applies to ordinary sex slave owners. If you are strong enough and have a high enough rank in the Lust Guild, the guild won't care whether your sex slave is willing or not, and the Royal Family will just turn a blind eye to it. Afterwards, Zhao Yun took Zi Feng to the Assassin Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and obtained two more D-grade bronze medals engraved with his name. "Zhao Yun, if everyone joins so many guilds, the bronze medals they carry will be overwhelming, right?" Zi Feng said to Zhao Yun, who was walking ahead, looking at the two bronze medals he had accumulated in such a short time. "Oh, well, most people don't choose to join too many guilds, because having too many guilds makes it harder to develop. They usually stick to one or two guilds and work hard to improve their rank within them. As for me, it's mainly because I don't have any family or a fixed group, so I have to join more guilds and take on quests to support myself." "Oh, in that case, I'm similar to you. Joining more guilds isn't a big deal, but having so many bronze tokens is indeed troublesome." "Hmm, but actually there are storage rings. Okay, I know you still won't understand. Here, this is a bronze ring I used before. Although the space inside isn't large and it can't store living things, it should be enough for you when you first start. I've removed my divine sense from it. You can absorb your own divine sense and use it." Saying this, Zhao Yun took out a bronze ring from his silver-grade storage ring and handed it to Zi Feng. "Oh, Zhao Yun, thank you so much! I'm grateful for all the help you've given me." "Hmm, it's nothing. If you feel bad, you can consider paying me back later, haha."
"Okay, sure. How much is this bronze ring? I can give it to you right now." At this point, Zifeng also felt that he didn't want to owe Zhao Yun too much, so he decided to give him the money as if he were buying the ring himself. "Alright, I was just kidding. How could I really take your money? But speaking of storage rings, this copper ring is worth about 50 silver coins on the market." Zifeng, who was just about to pay Zhao Yun, stopped abruptly upon hearing the price of the ring. "50 silver coins!? Are you kidding me?" "No, it's 50 silver coins, that's right. This silver ring I have is only 1 gold coin. You think these things are cheap?" "Okay, then it seems I really don't have any money to give you right now..." "Oh, I already said I don't want your money. Let's go, let's go. After talking so much, we should find a place to have lunch. My treat, let's go eat roast chicken!" "Oh, hehe, okay then, I won't be polite." Since things had come to this, Zifeng didn't refuse anymore. Anyway, he really didn't have any money to give Zhao Yun right now, so he would just remember his kindness. Then, led by Zhao Yun, the two headed towards the restaurant. "By the way, Zhao Yun, how did you get your C-rank bronze badge in the Lust Guild? Did you kidnap girls?"
"Uh...how could that be..." "Then what is it?" "Don't ask..." "Why? Tell me quickly, I want to level up quickly and check out other guilds."
"Well, I donated money." "Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? But do you have to donate a lot of money to level up? Wait, judging from your expression, there seems to be something else?" "No, nothing..." "Tell the truth, Zhao Yun!" "Ah...I donated sperm..."
(To be continued)
