Chapter 196 The Ghost Doctor, the Wicked Ghost Doctor!
"I told you... you stay here and don't wander off. My experiment won't be completed for another half month, so you can't leave now. Stop talking nonsense. I haven't left here for eighty years, but I don't care to leave. I have no desire for the outside world. I just want to properly study my medical skills. Stop talking nonsense." The Ghost Doctor said to me in his uniquely hoarse voice, then prepared to leave.
"Wait, I already said I can't stay here another day. I'm leaving." I said angrily, and then prepared to leave. In the past two weeks, I'd learned a bit about Guihun Manor. The name Guihun Manor sounded impressive, but frankly, it was just a dilapidated temple with a cheap sign that cost a little over a hundred yuan. Guihun Manor acted like it had a lot of power, but to be more precise, the entire manor consisted of only one person: the Ghost Doctor. He was the manor owner plus the laborers; the cook, the laundry, the medicine makers—all were done by him alone. But then again, given the Ghost Doctor's personality, it was hard to imagine anyone alive here.
Although the Ghost Doctor was a Grandmaster-level expert, his combat strength was at most below Grandmaster level. His real strength lay in his use of poison, but unfortunately, his poison had absolutely no effect on me. Don't forget, I'm immune to all poisons; the Ghost Doctor's attacks were useless against me.
Therefore, I was confident that if I wanted to leave, no one here could stop me.
Unfortunately, just as I was about to leave, the Ghost Doctor's faint voice suddenly came and said to me in his hoarse voice, "Hmph, if you want to leave, that's fine. But the Longevity Blood Soul Pill I used on you, although not a poison, is much more potent than poison. I know you have a constitution that is immune to all poisons, but the Longevity Blood Soul Pill just happens to work on you. To tell you the truth, you were extremely anemic at the time, and I didn't have any blood here, so I could only use my Longevity Blood Soul Pill. You should know that although the Longevity Blood Soul Pill is not blood, it is refined from the blood of tens of thousands of different animals. There are a total of forty-nine pills. I gave you eighteen pills on the day you came, and then another fifteen pills in the next half month. There are still sixteen days left. I can tell you clearly that you are now in a dilemma. Although you may feel that there is no problem, if you don't take the full forty-nine pills every day, then the blood in your body will dry up instantly, from the inside out. At that time, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal will not be able to save you. Whether you want to leave or not is up to you."
"You're threatening me?" I said angrily. Damn it, this bastard ghost doctor must be lying to me.
"You can think that way?" the ghost doctor said ominously.
"Do you think I'd believe you? Hmph, what kind of poison is that? You think you can fool me? Hmph, I don't believe you..." I said calmly, as if to say,
"Believe it or not. If you don't believe me, you're free to leave. I, the ghost doctor, never lie." The ghost doctor said calmly, and then disappeared before my eyes.
After hearing this, I stood there stunned for a moment before returning to my room—the eerie room where the ghost doctor had treated me and made me stay. Of course, I wasn't there to pack my things, but to continue living there. Damn it, this ghost doctor is unreliable, and what he says might be false, but... what if... even a one in ten thousand chance that what he said is true? Wouldn't I be dead? For the sake of my life, I finally endured it. I felt it was safer for me to stay here, even though I didn't know what the Ghost Doctor was planning. I decided to stay for a full month before leaving.
After all, my life was very important, extremely important. To be honest, I'm absolutely terrified of death, terrified of dying.
"Kid, get up. Get up now, I have something for you to do today." When the Ghost Doctor came to my bedside the next morning, he said to me indifferently, and then, without any hesitation, poured a bucket of cold water over me.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to cause me trouble? Seriously, you bastard, you damn ghost doctor! Calling me is one thing, but why are you treating me like this?! Did you have to splash me with cold water?!" I stood there angrily, yelling at the ghost doctor in front of me, my clothes already soaked. This bastard, ghost doctor! Luckily, my family sent me plenty of clothes, otherwise I'd have nothing to wear. God, I'd rather die than dress like this ghost doctor. To put it nicely, he's dressed in a sinister way; to put it bluntly, I suspect he was dug up from a grave. Although he didn't say it, it looked like it.
"Hmph, since you're staying here, you naturally have to do as I say. Don't forget, the Longevity Blood Soul Pill is with me. One a day, you're still sixteen short. If I don't give it to you, you're finished." The ghost doctor said to me in a chilling tone, a threat. A blatant threat, I'm sure of it, but... I really can't do anything with this guy.
"You... fine... tell me what you want me to do?" Although I was so angry I wanted to kill the Ghost Doctor immediately, I... had to endure it.
"Hmm, young man, you have to learn to be patient... hehehe... I'll give you that Longevity Blood Soul Pill tonight..." The Ghost Doctor said with a sinister laugh.
This Ghost Doctor's laugh was so sinister... This guy must have some kind of scheme, but I'm not stupid. I can do things for him, but only this month. If after this half month, the Ghost Doctor tries to blackmail me again, then I'll kill him and go find the Medicine King. After all, the Medicine King is different from the Ghost Doctor. The Medicine King's Shennong Valley has countless people, at least several hundred disciples, and family members, etc. There are too many of them; I can easily blackmail him into treating my illness.
"Hmph, enough talk, let's go. What do you need me to do? Why all the nonsense? You, Ghost Doctor, aren't usually like this, are you? You went out of your way to wake me up just to spout nonsense?" I said mockingly.
"Well, kid, come with me. It's past midnight; that guy should be out hunting by now. Come with me to see him, and then I'll tell you what I need you to do," the Ghost Doctor said calmly. He then left before me, disappearing from sight and flying westward. I followed him, flying through the air until we reached a large mountain. Guihun Village was remote, located in the southwest, surrounded by steep mountains, so there were hardly any people there. Even my family had to use an airplane to get me here; ordinary people couldn't manage it.
The Ghost Doctor and I traversed the mountains, crossing one peak after another, until we reached a large canyon. Below the mountains, flickering, eerie lights, bluish-green like will-o'-the-wisps, would terrify most people.
"What are you showing me? You didn't come here to see these will-o'-the-wisps, did you? I'm an expert at playing with fire." I smiled slightly, a deep purple flame appearing beside me.
There was no need for me to hide anything from the Ghost Doctor. I knew he wouldn't reveal my secrets to others, and I also knew from my family that he was the master of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's Evil Ghost Path. He only saved me under the orders of the Six Paths of Reincarnation's master, the Great Emperor Fengdu. Therefore, I figured he wouldn't harm me. Besides, those guys in the Six Paths of Reincarnation knew my strength inside and out, so there was no need for me to hide anything.
"Hehe, I know you're an expert at playing with fire, but I didn't bring you here to light a fire. I'm here to show you something," the Ghost Doctor chuckled in a hoarse voice.
Just as the Ghost Doctor was speaking, the entire mountain range suddenly began to shake. A hissing sound came from afar, and a python, about two hundred meters long and three meters tall, darted through the valley at an incredible speed and entered the forest. Soon, the screams of countless animals could be heard from within, and chaos erupted.
"Hey... Old Ghost, you're not going to make me deal with this guy, are you?" I paused and said to the Ghost Doctor beside me, looking at the giant snake in the distance with a half-smile. Although this guy was quite large and very strong, I didn't take him seriously, and my tone naturally carried a hint of disdain.
"Hehe, kid, don't underestimate this guy. This guy is the product of the fusion of an ancient golden thread snake and a dragon python. His entire body is impervious to blades and spears, and water and fire cannot harm him. No weapon can hurt him. He has cultivated for thousands of years. If it weren't for the fact that the legendary path of immortality has disappeared from the world, this guy would have become a demon long ago. At that time, not to mention you, even a grandmaster would be eliminated in a matter of seconds." The Ghost Doctor said sinisterly beside me.
"What? The path of immortality? Is that the path to becoming an immortal?" I asked in surprise.
"Hehe, since you asked, I'll tell you. It doesn't really matter anyway. So, I'll tell you. Legend has it that in ancient times, our planet was teeming with great gods, and countless masters existed between heaven and earth. People back then weren't classified according to the current hierarchy. In legend, martial artists were also a form of power, and those who fought against martial artists were called immortals. Later, for some unknown reason, the immortals disappeared, along with their companions like demons and ghosts. All the non-human beings, gods, and demons from mythological eras, except for those Western trash, have vanished without a trace." "They've vanished, haven't appeared for ten thousand years, and since then, the most powerful beings on this planet have been Grandmasters. Of course, there are exceptions... like Kings, who are above Grandmasters. Although not many, King-level experts still appear every few hundred years. Regardless of race or ethnicity, if a King appears, that race will inevitably rise. If Grandmasters can influence the balance of a region and the situation in the cultivation world, then King-level experts can influence the balance of the world. However, such beings are... far too few. They have almost never appeared." The Ghost Doctor explained to me in detail.
"So powerful? Are there any even more powerful people above the King level?" I asked curiously after hearing this.
"Yes... there is one person... that person is an Emperor-level expert." The Ghost Doctor seemed to remember something, and a complex and longing look appeared in his eyes as he spoke.
"Who?"
"The First Emperor of All Time... Qin Shi Huang." The Ghost Doctor said calmly, but his words exploded in my ears like a thunderclap. Thinking about it, who else could be qualified to be the King of Kings, an Emperor-level expert?
"How do you know all this?" Suddenly remembering something, I asked the Ghost Doctor beside me.
"Hehe, me? I heard it from someone. As for who it is, don't ask. It's not time for you to know yet. You're not qualified to know now. I'll tell you when you reach the Grandmaster level." The Ghost Doctor smiled and closed his eyes.
"Hehe, if you don't want to tell me, fine. Don't play mysterious. Tell me, why did Old Ghost send me here?" I said with a smile.
"Sixteen days later, on the night of the full moon, a giant eagle of the primordial Bifang bird lineage will arrive here. Every year at that time, it and that snake will fight. I need you to help me kill them both... extract the snake's gall and the eagle's brain essence. As for the rest, it's all yours..." The Ghost Doctor said, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"What exactly do you need these things for? Why not ask someone else?" I asked the Ghost Doctor in surprise.
"Asking too many questions won't do you any good. Don't worry, if you help me, I'll give you the last Longevity Blood Soul Pill. Then you'll be free. And I guarantee that this snake and eagle will greatly increase your power. If you seize the opportunity, becoming a Grandmaster won't be a dream. What do you think?" The Ghost Doctor said calmly, looking at me.
"Hmm, I see. Do I have a way to refuse? I haven't lived enough... But I'm curious, you're from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, right? If so, why not ask them for help? Why come to me instead? From what I understand, there are many in the Six Paths of Reincarnation more powerful than me, and that Emperor Fengdu is even more powerful," I said with a half-smile.
"Hmph, you don't need to know these things. What you need to know is... there's a reason I asked you to act instead of letting them. Enough with the nonsense. Just answer me, do it or don't," the Ghost Doctor said menacingly.
"Do it. Why wouldn't I? I haven't lived enough," I said with a smile.
"Alright, go down there. Get to know him first," the Ghost Doctor chuckled, then pushed me off the ground, caught off guard.
"Ghost Doctor... I hate you...!!!" I cursed as I landed.

Chapter 197 Golden Eagle and Dragon Python
"Hiss..." Pushed off from above by the Ghost Doctor for no apparent reason, I was immediately spotted by that damned dragon python. This dragon python possessed the bloodline of the Golden Thread Snake. Already an incredibly powerful dragon python, the addition of the Golden Thread Snake's bloodline made it even more formidable. Not only was its body enormous, but it also inherited the Golden Thread Snake's bloodline, making it impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire. It was essentially a mobile fortress over two hundred meters long. It was only because of the dense primeval forests of this ancient southwestern region, where there were no outsiders, that this dragon python had lived here for over a thousand years without being discovered... Otherwise, a real-life Godzilla story would probably be unfolding in China.
Upon seeing me, the dragon python immediately charged. Clearly, it considered me an enemy for this sudden attack. Without a word, it charged at me, its blood-red maw opening wide without hesitation. The three-meter-tall snake's open mouth was terrifying; I bet this snake could swallow a large truck whole.
The python burst through a pile of rocks and charged straight at me, clearing away countless stones as it hurtled towards me. This python was huge and fast, but unfortunately, it couldn't outrun me for the time being. I leaped into the air, performing a spinning punch that landed squarely on the python. It let out a pained scream, but alas, my punch was far stronger than those damned cannonballs; it could pierce titanium alloy. However… while I inflicted some pain, I didn't cause it any real damage. The python immediately turned and charged at me again.
It lunged at me, but I dodged. A ball of purple flame enveloped my entire body, and I unleashed a dozen punches in quick succession. Although I burned a portion of its body, it only left tiny scratches on its smooth scales—insignificant compared to its massive size.
So, the dragon-python and I began a chase through the valley. The dragon-python was indeed powerful, but a beast is a beast after all; it couldn't do anything to me, only relentlessly attacking. It battered the valley beyond recognition, yet couldn't catch me. As for me, no matter how I attacked, I could only leave small wounds on the dragon-python, but they couldn't spread. For a dragon-python over two hundred meters long, these wounds were obviously nothing. With a
"whoosh," I flew into the sky. After fighting for most of the night, I felt somewhat exhausted, but thankfully, the feeling of attacking with all my might was exhilarating—it felt wonderful. However, the exhaustion was equally unpleasant; after all, I'm not a robot, I get tired too, there's no way around it. So, I leaped onto a cliff. The dragon-python immediately gave chase, coiling around the mountain peak and charging upwards. Fortunately, the peak was high enough that I could rest for a while.
"Ghost Doctor, let's go first. Damn it, this guy is too freakish, I can't stand it anymore. Let's play with him again tomorrow." After saying that, I flashed away before Ghost Doctor and left. As for this freak, I didn't care anymore. If Ghost Doctor didn't leave, let him play with this monster by himself.
However, the Ghost Doctor wasn't stupid. Seeing this, he immediately took flight and followed me away. But the dragon-python didn't seem to have any intention of letting us go so easily, relentlessly pursuing us. The dragon-python was quite fast, chasing us for over ten miles. Fortunately, the Ghost Doctor and I were both Grandmaster-level experts, so shaking off the dragon-python wasn't difficult. An hour later, when we returned to Guihun Manor, the dragon-python had vanished.
"Ghost Doctor, you're making me deal with this guy? Are you crazy? You saw it yourself, it's impervious to blades and fire, my attacks are completely useless against it. How am I supposed to kill it? And there's that other big guy, do you really think I'm a war god?" I said to the Ghost Doctor in front of me, my expression extremely frustrated. Seriously, making me deal with those two guys is practically certain death!
One dragon-python is hard to deal with, but at least I can run away. The other one is a golden eagle, said to have a terrifying flight speed. I'd probably have a hard time escaping. The Ghost Doctor is clearly sending me to my death, how can I not be angry?
"Hmph, don't worry. Since I sent you, I have a way. Don't worry about it. Would I, the Ghost Doctor, harm you? Even if I were willing, the Master wouldn't allow it. Here, take this. Eat it, and continue fighting that guy tomorrow." The Ghost Doctor said coldly, then tossed out a pill and disappeared before my eyes.
For the next half month, I began a life-or-death struggle with the dragon python. Every day for half a month, I fought the dragon python. Fighting the dragon python every day increased my strength considerably. I felt my blood boiling, my whole body filled with power. I felt some untapped power in my blood gradually being activated, my whole body filled with power. Even when I was tired, I felt my strength constantly increasing, at a speed better than ten days of arduous training. Unconsciously, I was already immersed in the battle with the dragon python.
Three days ago, I found the dragon python's weakness—its seven-inch mark. That's undoubtedly the dragon python's weakest point; I could inflict significant damage there. I'm certain that if it were injured there, I could kill it with a single, powerful blow. Unfortunately… I don't have that ability yet.
It's a full moon night now, the bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating the earth. The cold moonlight is soothing. The Ghost Doctor and I stand atop a mountain peak. The dragon python is now silently embedded in the valley, staring at the sky without uttering a sound, as if quietly waiting for something.
"Caw…" Suddenly, a cry like a crow echoes in the sky. A large golden bird appears, its entire body rising high into the air, blocking out the moonlight. Its wingspan is about thirty meters, and its body is enormous, about five or six meters tall. Its gleaming claws are particularly striking against the sky.
After a sharp scream, the golden eagle swooped down from the sky, its sharp eyes fixed on the valley. Watching the massive body descend, it charged at the python, its sharp claws instantly piercing its body, penetrating three-tenths of an inch. The python let out a deafening scream, blood gushing from its body. However, the python was ruthless; it turned and swept its tail, sending the golden eagle flying. Then, the snake and the eagle began to fight fiercely in the wide valley, each vying for dominance, neither giving an inch. Stone chips flew through the air, raising a cloud of dust.
"Tsk tsk… Are those two Ghost Doctors always this fierce?" I clicked my tongue and asked the Ghost Doctor beside me. To be honest, those two were really ruthless. Watching them fight to the death, leaving the area in ruins, was quite terrifying. It seems having a large body has its advantages.
"Heh heh... Kid, take your time. This is just the beginning. I discovered this place a hundred years ago. This dragon-python and the golden eagle are natural enemies, but the golden eagle is still too young. Otherwise, the dragon-python would surely die. Only during a full moon can the golden eagle harness the power of the moonlight, doubling its strength to fight the dragon-python. This is also when the golden eagle is at its strongest; its claws can tear the dragon-python's body apart. So they fight every full moon night."
"But unfortunately, the dragon-python has lived for far too long, possessing immense experience and strength. It's not so easy for the golden eagle to kill it. So the two have been fighting, but the golden eagle's strength is gradually increasing, and the dragon-python is almost no match for it. In recent years, the golden eagle has been suppressing the dragon-python, and the dragon-python has narrowly escaped death each time. According to my estimation, the dragon-python is probably finished now, which is why I asked you to make your move at this time." The Ghost Doctor said in a sinister tone.
"Oh? You're just sitting back and watching the tigers fight? Heh, you're really something, Ghost Doctor. You're quite shrewd. I bet you've been planning this for a long time." I said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right. I started planning this a hundred years ago when I discovered this place. But unfortunately, I've never been able to find the balance. Today is the day to find that balance. Here... take this Myriad Beast Blood Soul Pill... you won't need to take it anymore after this. Today, the Golden Eagle will definitely kill the Dragon Python, but... it will definitely pay a price. So you must kill it at the same time as the Golden Eagle kills the Dragon Python..." Ghost Doctor said softly to me, then took out a pill and gave it to me.
Without a word, I immediately swallowed the pill, then coldly watched the dragon-python and golden eagle locked in combat. I said to the Ghost Doctor, "Hmm, you want me to deal with the golden eagle? Sure, but you should know I know absolutely nothing about golden eagles. They're incredibly powerful, and I've never fought one before. I'm not confident I can fight one."
"Heh heh, I know… but every creature has its weakness. The dragon-python's weakness is its seven-inch mark, while the golden eagle's weakness is its lower abdomen. If you aim there, you can take it down with your strength. But remember, you only have one chance. You only have one chance. If you fail to seize it, you will surely die." The Ghost Doctor said to me with utmost seriousness.
"Hmm, I understand," I said calmly, a glint of light flashing in my eyes as I looked at the golden eagle's lower abdomen.
At this moment, the struggle between the golden eagle and the python had reached a fierce stage. The golden eagle's sharp talons gripped the python's vital spot, tearing off a handful of flesh and blood, ripping apart its scales, and piercing through its entire vital point. The python struggled, but to no avail; it was unable to move. Now, the python became ferocious, hissing as it turned and bit the golden eagle's head at an uncanny angle. Instantly, the golden eagle's body became a bloody mess, one wing was bitten off, and its body was covered in golden blood, dazzling under the moonlight. The golden eagle showed no mercy, launching another fierce attack with its beak and talons, tearing the python's three-meter-wide body and head apart. The python's body was split in two, and copious amounts of blood flowed from its body like a waterfall, forming a small stream on the ground.
The golden eagle, having lowered its guard, let out a mournful cry and prepared to devour the dragon-python. Suddenly, I moved, like a shooting star plummeting from the sky, charging directly towards the eagle's abdomen. My entire body blazed with a purple light as I pierced through its lower abdomen. The
golden eagle let out a scream as I pierced its entire body. My body, smeared with golden blood, emerged from its abdomen, appearing eerily distorted by the moonlight. That single strike had exhausted all my strength, and I collapsed, feeling dizzy, before the dragon-python, letting the hot blood wash over me.
When I regained consciousness, I was back at Guihunzhuang. I was lying naked in a bathtub, surrounded by blood. There were distinct pools of bright red and golden blood. My body was placed in the center, lying there quietly. There was also a lot of other things mixed in with the blood.
"Hehehe... Kid, you're awake." Suddenly, a laugh rang out from outside, and the Ghost Doctor appeared before me, speaking to me.
"Hmph, how's the situation now? Because of you, I used up all my strength, even my true essence. How are you going to compensate me?" I said to the Ghost Doctor irritably.
"Hehe, kid, that's not up to you. Let me tell you, the Myriad Beast Blood Soul Pill I gave you was missing one last ingredient: the blood of the Golden Eagle and the Dragon Python. Without it, you definitely wouldn't have lived more than three years. Now, it's perfect, we've got both. You're good, and I'm good. As for what you said about using my true essence, hehe, kid, I fed you a pill made from Golden Eagle brains, snake blood, combined with Heavenly Snow Lotus, Nine-Leaf Pearl Flower, and Black Ink Jade, plus a portion of the Golden Eagle's inner core, a rare species from a hundred years ago, and a portion of the snake's gall, along with eighty-one kinds of herbs. Now that you've eaten it, don't you feel anything special?" The Ghost Doctor chuckled and said to me.
I was stunned for a moment after hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, then I closed my eyes and began to circulate my power. Instantly, I felt incredibly clear-headed, as if I had mastered all the power in the world. I felt completely integrated with the world, and I had a clear grasp of everything around me. Gentle primordial energy of heaven and earth flowed continuously within my body, constantly strengthening my physical body and making my internal energy even stronger. My abdomen felt incredibly full, and the power within my entire body began to form a strange state, incredibly abundant, and it seemed to be carrying a trace of mist, as if it had a tendency to liquefy.
"Unity of Heaven and Man... Unity of Heaven and Man!!!" I shouted excitedly in my heart. I knew what this represented. Unity of Heaven and Man represented... mythology... a legend of a myth, a Grandmaster... a Grandmaster who could sweep across the cultivation world... I felt a sudden clarity before my eyes, and my whole body became incredibly light. I felt power throughout my body, a power that was incomprehensible to others. I felt I could easily sweep away anyone around me. I was qualified to fight anyone I had ever encountered before. However... the only drawback was that I still couldn't use my power freely. I could operate the sixth-level upper-stage "Blissful Undying Divine Art" more freely, but I hadn't broken through. I definitely couldn't achieve free operation in a day or two. My initial estimate was... at least, at least two years... It would take me two years to become a qualified Grandmaster. And it wasn't just my body that benefited, but also my superpower. The purple flames became even more intense, and a trace of white light even appeared in the center. Although it was very little, I knew what it represented... White Flame. A colorless, formless white flame, the legendary substance capable of burning all matter…
“Heh heh, kid, how are you feeling?” The Ghost Doctor’s sinister laughter rang out again beside me, and he smiled at me.
“Heh heh, yes, the unity of heaven and man, what an exciting state to reach… Ghost Doctor, I think you used all the benefits you got from the dragon python and the golden eagle on me, didn’t you? Tsk tsk, I’m very curious, what made you so generous? I’m really curious, you know, the Ghost Doctor is notoriously stingy, I’m really curious.” I said to the Ghost Doctor with a smile. You know, the Ghost Doctor is notoriously stingy, and things like the Heavenly Snow Lotus are so precious, it really makes me very curious that the Ghost Doctor would use them on me.
"Hehe, kid, you're right. Someone did ask me to give you benefits. But do you really think you're that capable? You think you can absorb all the benefits from the dragon python and the golden eagle? Heh, you overestimate yourself. The benefits I gave you are only a third of what the dragon python and the golden eagle gave you, and you haven't even fully absorbed them yet. You've only absorbed a portion. The power contained in those two guys is definitely more than several top grandmasters. But they're just two beasts, beasts after all. They don't know how to use it. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a chance to touch a hair on their heads. Also, those medicines aren't mine. While you were unconscious, the Medicine King of Shennong Valley came by. That little guy's medical skills are mediocre, but he has a lot of medicinal herbs. It seems he was threatened to come and save you. But I sent him back, though I left some herbs behind. Anyway, these things are yours, so I just used them on you. If you can absorb them well in two years, then I guarantee you will definitely reach the peak of the grandmaster realm." The Ghost Doctor chuckled and said to me.
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then whispered to the ghost doctor, "Thank you..."
The ghost doctor paused, then snorted coldly at me, "Thank me for what? I was just doing what I was asked to do. What's there to thank me for? Just take care of yourself. Don't be so fussy, like a woman, hmph."
With that, the ghost doctor turned and prepared to leave.

Chapter 198 Dad... A perverted dad!
"Wait, I'm leaving..." I called out to the ghost doctor who was about to leave.
The ghost doctor froze after hearing my words, then continued, "Well, it's up to you. You can leave if you want, or stay if you want. But you need to be careful. You need to absorb the medicinal power within two years. Don't embarrass me, the ghost doctor, and don't waste my medicine."
With that, the ghost doctor completely disappeared from my sight.
I straightened my clothes, put on a white robe, and disappeared from Guihunzhuang. I traversed dense mountains and rushed rivers, weaving through drifting clouds and flying alongside wild geese. After passing through countless mountains and forests, I finally reached a city. From there, I contacted my family and flew directly to Longjing.
The reason for Longjing instead of Shanghai is simple: I needed to go back first. I knew my family was worried sick, and I had no choice but to go back. The old man had ordered Uncle Zhong and Uncle Yong to fly over, even if it meant being kidnapped, to bring me back. Everyone in the family, except for my cousin, had gathered at the family estate. Given the situation, I had no choice but to go back.
"Young Master... I can't even see through you anymore. It seems you've improved quite a bit this time. Sigh... I'm getting old... I can't compare to young people like you." Uncle Zhong smiled at me after seeing me, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Uncle Yong, who was beside me, didn't speak, but I could see a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Young Master... Waaah... You're finally back! I was so worried about you. Waaah..." As I stepped off the plane, a figure suddenly rushed into my arms like a streak of light, crying excitedly.
"You. How could anything happen to me? Hehe, I'm very strong and lucky, how could anything happen to me?" I chuckled and held Youyue in my arms, speaking softly to her.
"But, I was worried about you." Youyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to me with a hint of coquettishness.
"You." I tapped Youyue's little nose and said to her.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Mom and Dad, Third Uncle, hello." After entering the house, I looked at the group of elders around me and nodded respectfully. I couldn't help it; everyone here was older than me, and they were all there because they were worried about me, so I had to show basic courtesy.
"Tianxie... Haha. It's good that you're alright. You, your Third Uncle was so worried about you! You're the only pillar of our Li family! If anything had happened to you, your Third Uncle, this good-for-nothing, would have fought tooth and nail for you!" My Third Uncle stood up with a smile and said to me, then punched me in the chest.
"Hmph, you know you're a spendthrift? Hmph... Really, you're a good-for-nothing, and you still have the nerve to say that." The old man snorted at his third uncle, clearly quite dissatisfied with him. He had three sons. His eldest son was a good catch, going into politics, so the old man had nothing to say. But his father was a good-for-nothing, a typical spendthrift and playboy. Although he'd toned it down a bit after his mother came along, he still looked no more than twenty years old, clearly destined for failure. This guy did absolutely nothing; his biggest hobbies were drinking, chasing women, and eating. Of course, after his mother came along, he stopped chasing women, but he still did nothing, just waiting to be supported by the family. So the old man had long since given up on him. As for his third uncle, the old man had high hopes for him, but alas, perhaps influenced by his father, his third uncle, who had been a crazy military enthusiast as a child, dreaming of becoming a general, had been a source of great joy for the old man. But... Growing up, he practically became a gangster, doing all sorts of things, and now he's over thirty and still unmarried. Moreover, fearing his grandfather's pressure, he even ran away abroad, which made his grandfather extremely angry.
"I didn't... that was a legitimate business. I have far more money than that rich man now," Uncle San muttered.
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that? Smuggling arms is a legitimate business? So what if you have more money? Does the Li family lack money? I think you're getting more and more regressive!" The grandfather retorted, even angrier at these words.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, Dad, Third Brother, I think you two should stop arguing too. If you ask me, Dad, don't force Third Brother to do things he doesn't want to do. Smuggling arms isn't bad, is it? I think Third Brother, in a few days you could send Dad's Northern Military Region thirty of the latest F-22s, two B-51s, and also send Dad a brand new tank, what do you say?" The eldest uncle stepped forward to mediate after hearing this. After all, he was the one who always did this kind of thing, and if he didn't, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause. As for Dad, he didn't dare to say anything, because that would definitely make the old man angry with him, and he would definitely be the old man's target.
"Okay, okay, eldest brother, I'll listen to you. In addition, I'll send Dad two of the latest American destroyers, how about that?" the third uncle said irritably.
After hearing this, the old man's anger subsided. He glared at his third uncle and said irritably, "Well, at least you have some filial piety. I'll let it go for Tianxie's sake."
Then, the old man smiled at me and said, "Hehe, Tianxie, come here, let Grandpa take a good look at you. It's good that you're alright. Our Li family is counting on you from now on. Don't follow in your third uncle's and your father's footsteps. Well, your Ice Mirror Society is doing quite well now. I like it very much. Keep up the good work. If you need anything, just ask and I'll fully support you. But you have to be careful not to get ambushed like this again. How about letting Uncle Yong and Uncle Zhong follow you from now on?"
After hearing the old man's words, my third uncle and father immediately rolled their eyes. Everyone knew what my Ice Mirror Society was—a criminal organization. In the end, it was inferior to my third uncle's. But there was nothing the old man could do. He doted on me, and by extension, the Ice Mirror Society became a good thing. It was unfair to my third uncle and father.
My aunt looked at me with a kind expression, while my mother's eyes were a little moist, her face full of smiles. I thought that if it weren't for my grandfather, my mother would probably be holding me in her arms right now.
"Hehe, Grandpa, don't be angry with Third Uncle. Everyone has their own ambitions. As for Uncle Zhong and Uncle Yong, it's better to keep them by your side. I've made another breakthrough now, and even if I encounter something like this again, I'm confident I won't get hurt. Don't worry, it's better for those two old folks to stay by your side. I'm worried about them without you." I said to my grandfather with a smile. "
Hmm, you're so filial. Grandpa hasn't spoiled you for nothing. Since you don't want them to go, then forget it. But, let the family guards send some men for you. Let the family guards send thirty innate masters and find you a hundred fourth-rank masters to be your guards, just in case anything else happens." My grandfather stroked his beard and said to me with a satisfied look, waving his hand to allocate more than a hundred masters to me. He was really generous.
These hundred-plus people are enough to elevate my Ice Mirror Society's strength to a whole new level, which is fantastic for me.
As he said this, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he angrily said to me, "However, the Ximen family, the Huangfu family, and those bastards from Baijian Manor dared to attack you this time! It's infuriating! They simply don't take our Li family seriously! Hmph, we've already wiped out Baijian Manor and the Huangfu family; not a single one of them was left. But that Ximen family... that damned Liu family managed to protect them. We received information that the entire Ximen clan is in Liu family territory. Now that old ghost from Liu family has already contacted me, and those bastards from the Zhu family and the remaining members of the Eight Great Families from Liu family have all informed us to let the Ximen family go. It's infuriating! But Tianxie, don't worry, once the Ximen family leaves Liu family territory, I'll have the Li family's experts kill them all to avenge you."
"Yeah, those damn Liu family bastards, they really think they're something special! Tianxie, don't worry, Dad will definitely avenge you. Just you wait!" Dad said angrily, standing up from his chair. A massive killing intent swept across the entire courtyard, making everyone feel a chill. It seems my dad is really something else. I'm a beginner Grandmaster now, yet I'm actually affected by his killing intent and even feel a sense of fear. Some of the Li family guards around are already having difficulty breathing, and many have collapsed to the ground. Those fifth-rank experts have even fainted.
"Hmph... What do you want to do? Rebel? Acting tough at home? If you're so capable, go and wipe out the Liu family. What are you doing here, throwing a tantrum?" The old man sneered and said sternly to Dad beside him. After he said that, Dad immediately wilted and didn't dare to say another word. He sat there, and the killing intent vanished without a trace. It seems the old man is the most powerful.
"No need, Grandpa. I know you're all angry, but it wouldn't benefit the Li family or the Liu family to really clash. Besides, they have the support of the neutral faction and the six great families, as well as those bastards from the Zhu family. Are we really going to completely turn against them and start a civil war? I think it's better to forget it. A true man can bend and stretch. The Ximen family dared to attack me this time, and I will definitely retaliate. Grandpa, wait for me. Within five years, I will make the Zhu family disappear from China and unite the six great families. At that time, the Ximen and Liu families won't be able to cause any trouble. Hmph, at that time, I will get my revenge on them. And... they may be able to protect the Ximen family this time, but if the Ximen family provokes me again in the future, then it will be only right for us to destroy them. I think no one will have anything to say then. Hmph, whether the Ximen family lives or dies is up to us." I said with a cold smile to my grandfather, father, and the others.
"Hmph, since you put it that way, Tianxie, then I'll let it go. It's all up to you now. But I'll still make the Ximen family pay a price. Don't worry, all of the Ximen family's businesses in China have been seized by us. They've lost at least 50 billion US dollars, enough to cripple them." Grandpa said thoughtfully after hearing my words. I think Grandpa didn't really want a civil war, because that would definitely hurt China, and our Li family wouldn't gain anything. Would our Li family do something without any benefit? Of course not. But if I didn't give in, Grandpa might actually do it for his precious grandson.
"Hmm." I nodded with a smile after hearing this. My dad, who was beside me, didn't say anything, but his eyes kept darting around, and I didn't know what he was thinking. But I was sure that my dad wasn't thinking anything good.
After that, everything became much simpler. Naturally, the family had a reunion dinner together, and everyone was happy. Around midnight, as I was about to leave with Youyue, a sudden, overwhelming killing intent appeared at my door and locked onto me instantly. Youyue was knocked unconscious. Then, a figure appeared in front of me. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than my father. Who else could it be?
My dad stood before me, arms crossed, wearing a plaid shirt and casual pants. He leaned back, smiling at me, and said, "Kid, you've improved a lot this time, but... you're still too weak. How about a match? I'd like to get some exercise today."
I glanced at Youyue beside me, picked her up, and placed her in the room. Then I came out and smiled at my dad, saying, "I'd be happy to, but I'm afraid you
'll lose and look bad." "Heh, kid, bragging isn't enough. You're far worse than me," my dad said dismissively. He then leaped out of the window and soared into the sky, beckoning me with his finger. I smiled slightly and flew out the window too, landing beside my dad. We flew over the mountains and arrived in a desolate mountainous area.
You see, masters at the Grandmaster level can fly, but not for long. Every second consumes their energy, and they can only fly continuously for about half an hour. Even the top Grandmasters can only fly for that long before they have to land and find a foothold. Grandmasters are different. They can freely utilize the energy of heaven and earth, allowing them to fly freely. At this time, a small inner core, the legendary Golden Core of Taoism, will form in their dantian, continuously supplying the body and allowing them to fly indefinitely. Of course, I don't have that ability yet; to generate my own Golden Core, I need to reach at least the mid-stage of Grandmaster level. Even
so, I can still keep up with my father without any problems.
"Hehe, not bad, kid. You actually caught up. Although I slowed down, it's not easy for you. Tsk tsk... Not bad, not bad at all. You're worthy of being my son. You have potential. I like it, haha." My father stood there smiling and said to me.
"Hmph, come on, let me see just how good you are. Don't let me defeat you, or you'll lose face big time." I mocked my dad.
"You think you can beat me? Pshaw." My dad scoffed.
"Take this!" I roared, charging at my dad and unleashing a furious attack. To save face, to avoid being looked down upon by my shameless father, I immediately unleashed every attack I knew, sparing no effort in my attacks.
However... Unfortunately, to my disappointment, my unscrupulous father seemed completely oblivious to me, standing there motionless, staring at me. Although the ground around us was riddled with potholes, and a crater three meters wide and ten meters deep had formed around where he stood, leaving no intact ground within a hundred meters, my father still stood there, smiling at me with only one hand outstretched. To make matters worse, he had somehow lit a cigarette and started smoking, ignoring me completely, his one hand constantly waving to deflect my attacks.
"You...you...you're driving me crazy! You wait, I'm going to tell Mom you hit me!" I roared at my father after a fierce half-hour assault. I'd had enough. I thought I was a Grandmaster now, not invincible, but at least I could roam freely, at least hold my own against my unscrupulous father, if not beat him. But... Now I realize how naive I was. It was all just wishful thinking, and reality is so cruel. My dad subdued me with just one hand; it was such a blow.
"Hehe, kid, don't say that. You're the one who can't do it, and you're going to blame me? I didn't lay a finger on you, and you're already going to tell your mom? Hehe, I know you still have some skills you haven't used. Since these attacks aren't working, then... you can try using your special abilities." My dad winked at me and said.
"Okay... you just wait." I immediately said angrily after hearing my dad's words. To be honest, I was so angry that I forgot to use my special ability. My special ability, to say the least, is powerful enough. No matter who dares to take my flames, they'll be severely injured if they don't die, unless they're a high-level water-based ability user. Otherwise, they'll either die or be unharmed.
With a "whoosh," a ball of purple flame appeared in my hand, interspersed with specks of white. It shot towards my father. The reason I dared to attack like this was solely to humiliate him. I dared to say that even a Grandmaster would find this flame difficult to withstand; contact would result in death or serious injury. My father was so powerful; although he wouldn't be harmed, at least I could make him suffer a bit. In any case, I'd be happy if he suffered a loss. Who told him to bully me like that?

Chapter 199 Seven Deadly Sins
In the blink of an eye, a ball of deep purple flame, interspersed with wisps of white, appeared in my hand, rushing past me at supersonic speed, and instantly attacking my father. This was my strongest move; I was confident that even if he didn't die, I could at least injure him.
However, unfortunately, I seemed to be wrong. As my flame rushed past, a strange cloud of mist rose around my father, then surged towards me like a tornado. My flame not only failed to harm my father, but due to the wind, it intensified at least three times and instead struck me.
I was shocked. I quickly conjured a ball of flame on my body, which instantly ignited. Then, I used my strength to create a wall of energy in front of me. I knew this was no simple matter. Although the wind looked like a small tornado, it was actually quite powerful. Could my peak SS-level fire ability, Purple Flame, be swept away like that? Obviously not. Fire-based abilities are extremely domineering and have the greatest destructive power. Yet, the gust of wind that rose around my father easily deflected my flame. It was unbelievable; I felt like it was all an illusion. But it was truly happening before my eyes.
With a "whoosh," I collided with my father's small tornado. The flame inside wasn't difficult to deal with. I desperately turned around, and my own flame instantly surged, merging with the small tornado. After all, I'm a master of fire; even flames of the same or higher level are hard to harm me. But... that wind was not so easily dealt with.
A violent hurricane enveloped me in the center. The wind around me stopped moving, spinning incessantly at an incredibly high speed—I couldn't say exactly how fast, but I figured it was close to the speed of light. "Gale..." a term popped into my mind.
A strange name. Legend has it that a layer of gale covers the Earth's surface, destroying anything that tries to enter and preventing anything from leaving. The resistance of the gale is terrifying; even spaceships can't break through it for a moment. Satellites can only survive in the inner space of the Earth, where the gale doesn't directly affect the planet. This shows the power of the gale—enough to destroy any substance on Earth; it's just a matter of time.
What surrounded me at that moment was a gale. Although the area covered by the gale was not large, it enveloped me completely from every angle of 360 degrees, constantly swirling around me like countless mad blades spinning around me. The intensity was no less than that of a blunt blade. Even with my current physical strength, I was still attacked by the gale, leaving wound after wound on my body. Although the wounds were so small that they were almost negligible, the thousands upon thousands of them were enough to make me suffer. Blood kept oozing from my entire body. At this moment, I realized how insignificant I was, how fragile I was in the face of absolute power.
I continuously used all the power within my body to form a wall of energy around myself, attempting to block the onslaught of the gale. Undeniably, this was effective, but too short-lived. With my current level of cultivation, I could only withstand the gale's attack temporarily; it couldn't last long. Moments later, the gale breached my defenses, and I could only continue to use my tough body to endure the gale's power. Fortunately, my body was strong enough that the gale only caused superficial wounds; it wouldn't break any bones. However, pain was inevitable. Boundless pain emanated from every corner of my body, forcing me to constantly push my internal power. I felt myself growing stronger every moment, constantly gathering all the power I could to resist the seemingly ordinary gale. My strength continuously increased in this endless struggle, but ultimately, the pain reached my limit. Not a single patch of my skin remained unscathed; the feeling was no better than being slowly sliced to death.
Thankfully, my unscrupulous father withdrew the gale at that moment and then waved his hand, gathering a gentle water element around me, instantly healing my wounds. However, the only annoying thing was that I was now naked again, which was... unbearable.
"Kid, didn't know you had a penchant for streaking? But if you're going to streak, don't do it in front of me, tsk tsk. Here, put your clothes on." My father stood there, arms crossed, one hand stroking his chin, his fingers forming an "X" shape, then tilting his head and mockingly laughing at me.
I glared at him, angrily put on my clothes, and then said to him, "You old bastard, how could you possibly be so much stronger than me? I'm a Grandmaster, how could you be so much stronger than me? How is that possible?"
"Tsk tsk, look, look, my precious son's angry? Hehe, why do you think you're the only powerful one in the world? Do you really think there aren't powerful people elsewhere? You're so naive. To be honest, you are a Grandmaster, that's true, but that was because the Ghost Doctor used medicine to enhance you. That's different from a Grandmaster who truly cultivates through hardship. Using pharmacology to enhance you and then forcibly making you comprehend the world, this method saves a lot of time, but it makes you weaker than others. Moreover, you go in and out of the halls without ever comprehending the fighting style of a Grandmaster. With your skills, you're just a Grandmaster with strong internal energy, nothing special. If you encounter someone of the same Grandmaster level, they can kill you instantly if they use their ultimate move. Of course, I'm talking about their ultimate move. If they don't catch you off guard when they start fighting, then you can hold out for a while. Otherwise, tsk tsk, you're definitely going to die." My dad teased me.
"Hmph, then tell me, what exactly did I do wrong?" I said angrily.
"You know, the reason Grandmasters are called Grandmasters is because they have their own set of fighting styles. Grandmaster is just a mundane skill, the legendary oneness with heaven and man. They are called that because they can quickly gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth to cultivate a golden core within their bodies. Generally, such people, while not immortal, can easily live for five hundred years. This is the initial Grandmaster, the lower level. The reason they are called that is because when they fight, it seems as if they have merged heaven and earth with themselves. Fighting them is like fighting against heaven and earth. This is the middle level Grandmaster. When they merge with heaven and earth, they are heaven itself." "He is the earth, and from this, he generates and creates domains. Within a domain, he is the absolute ruler, able to control everything. Within his domain, everything is under his control. This is the Grandmaster. Of course, it varies from person to person, creating different domains. Such a person is the peak, the upper-level Grandmaster. Even among Grandmasters, very few can create domains. And you haven't fully comprehended the Dao of the Grandmaster yet. Only when you fully comprehend it can you be considered successful. Just now, I have activated all the power that can be unleashed within your body. If nothing unexpected happens, you can steadily reach the level of a mid-level Grandmaster in two years," my father explained to me earnestly.
After hearing this, I felt enlightened. The feeling of having guidance and not having guidance is truly different. Putting aside everything else, at least the comprehension of this realm and some tips and experiences are incredibly enviable. I bet that without my father's teaching, if I relied solely on myself, it would take at least three years for me to comprehend it. My father undoubtedly saved me three years.
The Ghost Doctor was right; the power he gave me would indeed be immensely beneficial if I absorbed it. However, it's a pity that the Ghost Doctor isn't a Grandmaster, and his understanding of Grandmasters is only superficial. Therefore, his advice inevitably contained some deviations. If it weren't for my father's words, I might still be following the Ghost Doctor's method to continuously extract energy from my body.
After listening to my father, I quickly changed my energy circulation method, drawing power from heaven and earth to enrich myself, forming a tiny, almost invisible inner core in my dantian. Even so, I felt the semi-liquid energy that had been filling my meridians and causing some pain begin to transform into the inner core. Soon, nourished by the energy throughout my body, the inner core shrank to the size of a grain of rice, and then stopped growing. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless.
"Kid, don't be greedy. Things don't come that easily. You're already progressing very quickly. What more do you want? Any more will only do you harm. It's almost dawn, and your mother will wake up soon. Do you want to kill me? I have something to tell you." Just then, my dad's lazy voice rang in my ear, speaking slowly.
Hearing this, I opened my eyes and found the sky already somewhat gray. The rising sun was slowly ascending in the east, its dazzling light shining upon the earth. Everything looked so peaceful, and even my unscrupulous dad seemed so loving.
"T-what?" I asked my unscrupulous dad, stunned, because I really didn't understand what else he wanted to say.
"Idiot, of course I'm going to say something useful! I, Li Suiyun, have been smart all my life, how come I have such a stupid son like you? If I had nothing to say, would I stay with you until dawn? You little brat, listen to me, I have more meaningful things to do. I need to read, play games, look at pretty girls, spend time with your old mom, find delicious food, and travel the world. I don't have much time to take care of you, so I've decided to tell you everything I need to say today. Don't embarrass me later, no matter what... I, Li Suiyun, was once too." Dad tapped me on the head and said lazily, then suddenly stopped and didn't say another word.
"What were you back then?"
"Of course, I was the most popular girl in the world, loved by everyone, and admired by all. So you can't embarrass me, you know?" Dad immediately put on a smug look and said to me, as if he really was that popular back then. But to be honest, I don't deny that. After all, this old guy had more potential to be a gigolo than me. Although I'm handsome, I inevitably have a bit of a feminine look because I inherited some of Mom's features, making me look a bit sinister. Dad, on the other hand, is full of masculinity and looks very manly. Plus, he has a more mature aura than me. I have no doubt that he was the most popular girl in the world. But... I think that's definitely not what he was going to say. These words are just to fool people. But... there's nothing I can do. I can't beat him, so it's pointless to say anything. I'm not willing to beat him up and force him to say what he just said, so I naturally pretended not to see it, just rolled my eyes at him, and gave him a look of contempt.
"Um...um...let's get down to business, let's not talk about this anymore." Dad noticed my look and, realizing his embarrassment, hummed twice before speaking to me.
"What business?" I said irritably.
"Well, it's like this. Let's talk about that damned thing you're practicing, the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Art.' Back in the Wei Tang era, our Li family ancestors gathered thirty-one grandmasters from across the land to revise and edit it, incorporating various schools of thought. Its power is unparalleled, encompassing everything. You could say this martial art is invincible. However... it has one drawback: it's too complex and difficult to practice. Of course, this can be ignored; you can just choose to practice a few. But its progression is very slow, and it's difficult to master. That's the main problem. It's not like no one in our Li family's history has ever practiced it, but their fates haven't been good. So what I need to tell you is that you must be very careful. Don't think that just because you haven't encountered any danger yet, you're really safe." My father said to me very seriously, his expression becoming somewhat strange when he mentioned the family members.
My dad's expression was unmistakably strange. Curious, I asked, "What happened to those people? Why do you look like that?"
After staring at me for a while, my dad seemed hesitant, but finally said, "Well... in the past thousand years, only ten people in our family have chosen to cultivate this thing. Unfortunately, three of them committed suicide, and seven others were wiped out by our family after going insane. So, since then, almost no one has cultivated this thing anymore, because it's too dangerous. But you, kid, I recommended so many good things to you, and you chose this one. I felt you might have a connection with it, so I didn't stop you. Only Uncle Yong and I know about this so far, so you shouldn't tell anyone else, lest the old man finds out. You know, if the old man finds out, it'll be very troublesome.
" "Why? Three committed suicide and seven went insane? What on earth is this thing?" "You bastard, why didn't you say so sooner? I only chose it because the name sounded cool. What nonsense about fate! If you had told me it was so dangerous, I wouldn't have practiced that damn thing! Now you're not giving me an explanation? Go find Grandpa and Mom right now! If anything happens to me, you'll be responsible to the end!!!" I roared angrily at my dad. I was telling the truth. If I had known this thing was so dangerous, I wouldn't have practiced it. If that unscrupulous guy had just told me back then, I would have thrown away that damned Ecstasy Immortal Technique without hesitation. But now it seems that opportunity is gone, so naturally I'm furious.
"Don't... don't be angry. You're my only son. How could I bear to see you get hurt? If you die, I'll have no one to carry on the family line, so Dad certainly won't let you die. Don't worry about that." "Dad chuckled twice at me, then looked at me with a gaze that seemed to say, 'I knew you were a coward.'
'Hmph, hurry up and tell me, what's the problem?' I said angrily.
'Well, it's like this, the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill' is considered a peerless martial art. Undeniably, having learned and seen so much, I believe none can compare to it. However, even peerless skills have their flaws. Moreover, calling the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill' a peerless skill is less accurate than calling it a 'Peerless Demonic Skill.' Everyone knows that human life is finite, at most a Grandmaster's lifespan of five million years. But the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill' is different; it increases lifespan by continuously strengthening the body, somewhat like the Vajra technique in Buddhism. If one truly masters it, I estimate that immortality wouldn't be difficult. And because of this... the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill'..." "That 's a bit biased. The main creators of the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Art' were twenty evil masters who believed that desire was the source of power, and this idea was incorporated into the 'Eternal Bliss Divine Art'," Dad said with a strange expression.
"Hearing you say that, I don't think there's anything wrong with it," I said , surprised.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet. Legend has it that at the beginning of time, there were seven original sins in the world, which together form the Seven Deadly Sins: lust, envy, greed, sloth, gluttony, wrath, and pride." The first two levels of the Blissful Immortal Divine Art are the Qi-cultivation stage. From the third level onwards, it integrates the seven original sins. As everyone knows, desire is terrifying, and the seven original sins will maximize one's desires. With each level of cultivation, one will vividly experience the horror of these seven original sins. I believe you've already experienced quite a bit of it. Only after your skill breaks through can you fully control these desires, and even then, only to a certain extent. If you can't break through in a short time, then your desires will grow stronger with time, eventually driving you completely insane. Of course, if the growth rate of your desires can't keep up with the growth of your internal energy and spiritual power, then you can control them. However, such people are extremely rare. The Blissful Immortal Divine Art is exceptionally difficult to master. You're one in a million, let alone someone as lucky as you. So, you're fortunate that your power is progressing rapidly, which is why you're not controlled by your desires. Otherwise, tsk tsk, that would be dangerous. The final result would either be being killed or committing suicide, and that feeling is truly not pleasant. "

Chapter 200: Keep a Low Profile
" So that's how it is! No wonder I felt my desires were so strong and sometimes uncontrollable; it was all because of this damned action! It's all your fault! I asked you to help me choose, and you picked out a bunch of junk. If you had picked something good, would I be in this situation today? Humph, I'm so angry! I'm going to slap you! I yelled at my unscrupulous father.
"Uh... well, I picked out really good stuff for you back then, but you refused to learn it yourself," my unscrupulous father said helplessly.
"Hmph, good stuff? I don't see it. What did you learn then? Why is it so powerful? It's much more powerful than my worthless 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill'! Humph, if you had shown it to me back then, I wouldn't have learned that damn thing." "I said angrily.
"Who said I didn't take it out? I learned the 'Great Compassion Mantra of the Interplay of Heaven and Earth'. I did give it to you to learn, but you refused. Hmph, although my martial arts are insidious and progress very quickly, most people would easily suffer a qi deviation if they're not careful. But I've mastered it, so with me protecting you, you'll be fine. But you refused to learn it." My unscrupulous father rolled his eyes at me and said.
"What? You learned that 'Great Compassion Mantra of the Interplay of Heaven and Earth'? Damn, when you took it out with those 'Seventy-Two Styles of Taming Women,' 'Eighteen Touches,' and 'Dragon Claw Hand for Grabbing Breasts,' I thought it was some kind of weird stuff. Of course I didn't learn it. If you had told me it was so powerful, would I have refused? So it's all your fault. By the way, what's the background of this book?" "I rolled my eyes at my dad, who was standing on the ground, and said to him, just like I had rolled my eyes back. At this moment, under the setting sun, only the two of us stood on the hillside. The surrounding ground was utterly destroyed, not a single patch of intact land, a stark contrast to the overgrown areas around us.
"The *Great Compassion Mantra of Heaven and Earth* is a martial arts manual. It records the seven most dangerous and vicious martial arts techniques in the world since ancient times. It is said that when the book was completed, 'blood rained from the sky, and ghosts cried at night,' and the author died vomiting blood when he wrote the last word. And that's what I practice." My unscrupulous dad smiled slightly at me and said, then looked into the distance as if recalling something. "
Blood rained from the sky, and ghosts cried at night, is it really that awesome?" "After hearing this, I looked at my unscrupulous father with a suspicious expression and asked,
"Hehe, whether you're arrogant or not isn't important. If you want to try the seven ultimate techniques in my 'Great Compassion Mantra of the Conflict of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang,' then you can try. I guarantee you'll never forget it. Hehe, enough of that. Let me tell you about the original sins of your 'Eternal Bliss Divine Skill.' I believe you've already experienced the sins of lust, envy, wrath, and sloth, haven't you? Tsk tsk, not bad. But next up are the sins of gluttony, greed, and pride. Tsk tsk, these three are the hardest to deal with. They're very difficult to get rid of from desire. You'd better be careful. If anything goes wrong, come find me immediately, okay?" My father said to me with unusual seriousness.
"Okay, I know," I said, rolling my eyes at my father.
"Well, that's good. As for your superpowers, you haven't grasped their true essence yet, probably because you rarely use them in combat. Anyway, your dad is a dual-elemental superpower user, proficient in both water and wind. My wind superpower is SSS-level, and my water superpower is probably at the top of SS. Based on my experience, I can tell you that superpowers aren't activated by your own power. Superpowers are about using your mental energy to control everything around you, drawing upon energies of the same elemental nature. This is somewhat similar to Western magicians, but they aren't born superpowered; they acquire them through certain special means..." "Their methods allow those with stronger mental strength than ordinary people to become magicians, forcibly controlling the elements of heaven and earth. Ultimately, these people are inferior to those with superpowers, but they have a long-standing tradition that has formed many incredibly powerful techniques, far stronger than the uncertain traditions of those with superpowers. So you need to understand this. Your mental strength is extraordinary, so you should make good use of it to communicate with the elements of heaven and earth. If you have a good opportunity, then I think your breakthrough is only a matter of time. Tsk tsk... SSS-level fire-type superpower, just thinking about it is exciting! You must seize this opportunity." My dad said to me with a smile.
"Okay, I know, I know. Oh, right, there's something else I need to ask you. How many Grandmasters are there in total? Where are they located? What level are you at?" I asked my unscrupulous dad beside me.
My unscrupulous father gave me a few surprised looks, then pondered for a moment before saying, "There are six Grandmasters: one in Siberia, one in Japan, one in China, one in Europe, one in the Americas, and one in Africa. They're known as the Six Great Grandmasters of the World. But all six of them have gone into seclusion, so you can rest assured. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't go too far and completely threaten the cultivation world of those six regions. Otherwise, you'd better prepare to fight them. But seriously, you're already a Grandmaster, why are you so afraid of so much?" My father said disdainfully to me, then vanished before my eyes.
"Hmph, not afraid of anything. With my level, what if they come after me these next two years? Seriously, looks like I need to keep a low profile from now on, at least until I'm powerful enough..." I muttered to myself, preparing to leave. But just then, something suddenly occurred to me, and I exclaimed, "Damn, wait a minute, this guy didn't tell me his level. Judging from his appearance, he's definitely not a Grandmaster. He has no manners at all, and he doesn't seem like a recluse. Hmm... hmm. Something's definitely wrong."
Just then, my stomach growled. I felt a surge of hunger, and a bird flew over my head. I unconsciously licked my lips; I actually had an urge to eat that bird! Oh my god. The sin of gluttony! This desire is truly terrifying. I just broke through, and I already want to eat a live bird... I wonder if I'll ever want to eat people when I'm starving. Just thinking about it made me nauseous. I quickly left and went home. Before anyone else woke up, I found a pile of food in the kitchen and ate the equivalent of four people's portions all by myself. And... I was still hungry! This annoyed me, so I quickly circulated my power and began greedily absorbing the energy in the sky. At that moment, I felt my power growing wildly, constantly increasing, as if it would never stop. My body relentlessly devoured the energy in the sky, even when I stopped cultivating. This surprised me greatly.
"Could this be another function of the Sin of Gluttony?" I muttered to myself as I stood in the kitchen. Luckily, no one else was around, or I would have considered killing them to silence them.
Undoubtedly, the Sin of Gluttony's unlimited absorption of the energy in the sky was a good thing for me. If my absorption of the energy of heaven and earth before was like a flowing tap, then now my absorption speed was comparable to the spraying speed of a high-pressure water gun.
The horror of that time is unimaginable. However, while the sin of gluttony brought me benefits, it also filled me with fear. It was an endless absorption of energy. Although this was a good thing for me, too much energy would cause trouble. My body was not able to withstand so much power. After I absorbed the energy between heaven and earth, some of it entered my dantian and was slowly absorbed by my golden core to strengthen me. The other part remained in my body to continuously strengthen and temper my body and to accumulate. Although my meridians were more than a thousand times stronger than those of an ordinary person, they still had to withstand so much energy. After all, my body space was limited. If I didn't find a way to digest the power, I would die sooner or later from the gluttony of the energy between heaven and earth.
I hesitated as I tried to circulate this energy. At first, I didn't know how to handle the overwhelming amount of power I had. But as the power began to circulate, I discovered that a small portion of the energy would enter my mind. Instantly, my vision cleared. Although the brain is the most vulnerable part of the human body, it's still possible for energy to enter, and it can be helpful to me. So I selected some gentle energy to enter my mind, increasing my mental strength and expanding my brain area. Meanwhile, the frenzied power was injected into every cell of my body through a cellular principle.
There was once a theory that each cell is essentially a world unto itself. Normally, they are withered and lifeless, like Mars, because human energy is limited and cannot be strengthened. However, if energy is injected, these cells become vibrant and life-filled, like Earth, offering immeasurable benefits. Theoretically, injecting energy to stop cell aging could grant a form of immortality. As the Buddha said, "A grain of sand contains a world." The true size of a world is unknown. While the energy required to inject into a single cell wouldn't be enormous, it would still be a staggering amount. According to my rough estimate, to fully energize my cells, I would need at least... the internal energy cultivation of a ninth-rank master. What does this mean?
While a ninth-rank master isn't particularly strong—I could easily crush dozens—how many cells does the human body have? A rough estimate is at least four to five billion. Four to five billion ninth-rank masters? The thought alone is terrifying, and I certainly don't possess that much energy. However, I don't care about that. At least I've found a path. I've started channeling that excess energy, which I don't know how to store, into my cells, especially those in my heart, as that area, like my brain, is arguably one of my most vulnerable parts.
Undoubtedly, I've inadvertently opened up a new path, and I believe it's more useful than that so-called Golden Elixir. However, I haven't abandoned this path yet, because I don't know if it's right or wrong. If it is, that's fine, but what if it's wrong? Therefore, I dare not abandon the immense energy that the sin of gluttony has given me, and I haven't thought too much about it.
The power of the Seven Deadly Sins is immense, and the creator of the "Eternal Bliss Divine Art" is truly astounding. He deeply embodies all seven sins, and the Seven Deadly Sins don't simply disappear with breakthroughs in skill. Rather, they mean that after a breakthrough, one can completely suppress desires, using reason to control them, preventing them from being manipulated by desire. Of course, desires never truly disappear, which means that under certain circumstances, practitioners of the "Eternal Bliss Divine Art," even if they don't die, won't become numb, heartless, or powerless old monsters. However, this undoubtedly creates a catastrophe for the world.
Now I understand the gist of it all, and I'm thankful that my current power is at the sixth level, the sin of gluttony, and not the sins of greed and pride. Otherwise, I certainly wouldn't be hiding now; I would be surrounded and attacked by countless people. After all, greed and pride are notorious for offending people, and I might even be discovered and killed by those reclusive old ghosts.
Given this situation, I've made a decision: I must keep a low profile from now on. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Although I'm a Grandmaster now, I can't guarantee that I can defeat the other six Grandmasters at the top of the pyramid. What's more, I might be besieged by them. So, I've decided that at the very least, until I achieve some level of power, I need to keep a low profile.
After staying at home for three days, I left and came to Shanghai. Here, I've settled down and decided that from today onward, I will be the most ordinary person, an absolutely ordinary person. Now I understand a little better what my unscrupulous father's good intentions were.
Undoubtedly, being an ordinary person is extremely difficult, but since I've decided to be an ordinary person again, I naturally want to do it properly. Of course, I can't stop chasing girls, at least... at least I can't let go of the girls I've chased before.
So I settled down at Touhou Academy. Aside from maintaining contact with my woman, I didn't do anything particularly special. At this moment, I was just an ordinary person, nothing special, nothing unusual, just the most ordinary behavior. I also toned down some of my personality traits. For example, I stopped sleeping in class and started eating instead. The urge to overeat was just too strong, making me think about food all the time. Every time I went to school, I brought a huge bag of food, otherwise it definitely wouldn't be enough for me. Luckily, I don't gain weight from eating, otherwise everyone would probably call me Pig God... ...
As for Chen Qianqian, our relationship stabilized. Chen Qianqian stopped saying anything about being close to me and remained indifferent to others. However, she was still good to me. The three of us, including Zhou Chen, became the best friends in the class. But I received a lot of contempt for this, since what I did was something that the other boys looked down on. Zhou Chen was fine; he was lively and got along well with everyone, so it didn't matter. But Chen Qianqian was different... Qianqian remained as indifferent to everyone except Zhou Chen and me, refusing to say a word. So, as the only man who could talk to Chen Qianqian, I became the object of contempt from all the boys.
"Ring ring..." The bell rang, signaling the end of class. A flurry of noise erupted as many students ran out laughing. But I sat there, eyes closed, seemingly restless. My deskmate was still Chen Qianqian, and Zhou Chen sat in front of me. We were now a formidable trio. The reason I was sitting there was simple: I'd bribed the teacher. Damn, I may not have much else, but I have plenty of money. And I have connections. I could just snap my fingers and the municipal party secretary would come running over. Getting a seat was a piece of cake.
When class ended, everyone except me, who was resting with my eyes closed, including Zhou Chen and Chen Qianqian, was already engrossed in their studies. The reason was simple: it was two years later, and we were in the final three days of high school. Everyone was striving for their dreams, except for those who had essentially given up hope. For wealthy students, this wasn't a concern. Even if they failed the exam, their families could easily afford to send them to a third-rate university abroad. At least they would return as overseas graduates, and their families could easily arrange things. However, for students from ordinary families who had worked hard, university and the college entrance exam were undoubtedly a hurdle—a threshold to realizing their dreams. Although university degrees weren't considered valuable, and even graduates might still be considered worthless and unable to find jobs, there was still a glimmer of hope. But without a university degree, you were doomed.
In an era where PhDs and Masters were commonplace and undergraduates were considered worthless, without a degree, you could only wait to die or become a subservient person. The future seemed bleak, so many were burying themselves in their studies.
This even included Chen Qianqian and Zhou Chen. As for why they were studying so hard, I have no idea. Based on my understanding of their families, they could live a life of luxury without doing anything. Why work so hard?
"Boss... Boss... come out here for a second, I need to talk to you." At this moment, a fat guy who weighed at least 300 pounds shouted at me at the classroom door. Behind him were four or five henchmen. He looked extremely arrogant. This person was none other than... my henchman, Liu Guowei. He... is probably the only aspect of me that is not low-key in this school.
