[Desire to Explore the Hidden Cave NTR]

Written in my spare time, this is a fantasy/martial arts novel with
explicit 　　 content 　　.
It 's a personal whim, and I doubt many people will like 　　it. Each chapter is approximately 5000 words, and I update at least once a week, though there 　　may 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 the plot development, 　　and 　　it will likely be a long story. Please don't criticize 　　if you don't like it 　　. ********** ... 　　Beneath these mountains, a cave was hidden in a dense forest. At the cave entrance, three people 　　sat cross-legged, a campfire blazing between them. 　　"Zihao, you should go inside and rest tonight. I have some things to discuss with your brother privately." 　　"Yes, Master," 　　the boy called Zihao replied, rising and walking into the cave, leaving behind only an old man and another 　　boy. 　　The old man was resting with his eyes closed. His white hair indicated his considerable age, but his face 　　didn't appear overly aged; rather, it conveyed a sense of weathered experience. His body was straight, without 　　the hunchback of an elderly person, more like that of a young man. 　　The boy sitting opposite him appeared 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 sinister air 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 has passed, and the old man has remained silent. The firewood in front of them is 　　dwindling, and the flames are gradually weakening. 　　"Master..." 　　Seeing his brother leave, and his master still silent, the young man couldn't hold back any longer. 　　"Zifeng, go and get some more firewood to add." 　　"Yes, Master." 　　The young man, called Zifeng, got up, went to the cave entrance, fetched some more firewood, and then returned to his seat, 　　adding 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 about things concerning 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. The moment his eyes opened, 　　two tangible beams of cold light shot out from them, only to disappear in the next instant. 　　"Zifeng, what I want to tell you tonight isn't what I've been warning you about before, but some 　　things you don't know. I hope you'll remember what I say tonight." 　　"Yes, Master." 　　Hearing his master's words, Zifeng 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. And 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 us. Now, are you going to tell me?" 　　The old man sighed, seemingly trying to vent his displeasure, or perhaps feeling a pang of sadness 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." 　　"Hmm, 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."

Upon hearing his master mention that the Liu family was originally one of the five great families of lust, Liu Zifeng was momentarily stunned .
Yes, Liu Zifeng!
After a long pause, Zifeng finally spoke again, asking his master,
"Master, you...you mean the Liu family? That means 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. He never imagined he was
a descendant of the Liu family, one of the five great families of lust. This was indeed hard to accept.
"Don't be too surprised yet. There are many things you don't know. Let me finish."
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 previous Liu family, but why had the Liu family been 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, even though the Liu family had weakened somewhat,
it would have been impossible for one or two families to destroy them together."
"So, such a massive event as the annihilation of one family—did the other
families who weren't involved just ignore it?"
"Well…because that night, the families involved all wore masks and no family
ornaments. Furthermore, the Zou family later claimed they themselves had wiped out the Liu family, stating that the Liu family no longer had the strength to
continue as one of the ten great families, and therefore decided to replace them. And the main reason…"
The old man paused, as if considering whether to 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 saw that Zifeng didn't show extreme anger, but rather appeared somewhat dejected and
helpless.
"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." "
Well, 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 depressed and despondent! I just want you to understand that you and Zihao
are both of the original Liu family bloodline, with Liu family blood flowing in your veins, and the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Liu family can only
be borne by the two of you!"
The master's words instantly awakened the somewhat dejected Zifeng like a tidal wave. "Yes, I am of the Liu family bloodline
. Since they destroyed my Liu family, and no one else dares to stand up for 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 restore the Liu family!"
Seeing Zifeng filled with passion again, the old man felt gratified. It seemed that Zifeng had indeed grown up.
"There's one more thing, Zifeng. The Yin-Yang Manual that you've been cultivating isn't actually the real
manual."
"What!? Master, how could this be? Didn't you make us cultivate it since we were little? Why are you
only telling me now that the manual is fake?"
Zifeng was anxious because of his master's words. The Yin-Yang Manual was the manual that 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 clan 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."
Hearing his master's words, Zifeng felt somewhat confused. Cultivating this manual had indeed caused him a lot of
suffering, but to call it self-torture didn't seem quite right.
"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 hadn't 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 advance further, there will be a
price to pay."
A price?! After all this, you've only cultivated to the tenth level of the Earth Rank, and the remaining two levels, the Heavenly Profound Rank,
require a price to cultivate? Would it be castration?! Thinking of this, Zifeng 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 Profound 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's essence blood, this woman will have to give you her body."
"By having sex with other men, when those men enter her body, the virgin blood you obtain will
resonate within you, thus aiding your cultivation. Of course, the more virgin blood you obtain,
the more willing they are to have sex with other men, and the faster your cultivation speed will be."
"This...this...how is this possible!?"
The previous massacre of his family was a blow, but now the cultivation secrets of this family manual were simply
unbelievable to Zi Feng. 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 there's anything I really 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 supposed to be his master.
"Hehe, Zifeng, of course I'm your master. I unintentionally saved you two back then, and I already
told you that. Why would you ask such a question?"
"If you're merely our master, how do you know the story behind our family's annihilation, and how do you
possess our family's secret manuals for us to cultivate, even knowing the true essence of cultivation so clearly?"
"Hehe, it seems Zifeng, you've really grown up. 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 the one 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 his brothers for twenty-seven years, would never want to harm them.
"I'm sorry, Master, Zifeng shouldn't have doubted you."
Uncoiling his legs, kneeling on the ground, and pressing his hands to the ground, Zifeng kowtowed heavily to the ground,
indicating that he shouldn't have doubted his master.
"Hehe, Zifeng, you're already twenty. I said before that once you all turned twenty, I would let you
leave the mountain. Now I've given you everything I needed to say. 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 behind.
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 quite 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 fetch you to leave the mountain in three years."
Seeing Zihao, who had already seen him some distance from the cave, 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 than Zifeng, and his eyes were slightly
more innocent.
"Yeah, don't worry. Alright, I'm off!"
Without further hesitation, Zifeng glanced one last time at the mountains not far away, 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 mountains now?"
"Hmm... I have my own plans. Feng, keep a close watch on him 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 gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a few fallen leaves. The man in black had vanished.
Zifeng, 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, seventeen years had passed,
and today he could finally leave. His purpose for leaving was quite clear...
He glanced down at the bronze plaque in his hand. This plaque was given to him by his master that morning before he left
. Although his master had spoken casually about it, he understood that this plaque would be his
only lifeline in case of danger after leaving the mountains!
Tightening the pack strapped to his back, Zifeng quickened his pace again…
(II) Acquaintance and Companionship
The Xuan Yin Continent is the name of this world. The entire world
consists of five continental plates of varying sizes and countless small islands, home to various known and unknown races.
Known races with independent thought include humans, demons, beastmen, monsters, elves, werewolves, and…
The vampire race.
Among them, the human, demon, and beast races have the largest numbers, together comprising
about 70% of the total population of the seven races.
The elf and vampire races are the smallest, together making up only about
10%. The remaining 20% consists of the demon and werewolf races.
The human race occupies the main continent of the Xuan Yin Continent, also known as the First Continent
, which is the largest continent. It controls a large portion of the land, with the remaining unoccupied
areas mostly consisting of primeval forests.
The beast race is mainly located on the Second Continent, which is southwest of the First Continent. The Second Continent is
slightly smaller and somewhat connected to the First Continent, with the connecting area also covered by dense primeval forests, separating the humans and beast races
and preventing friction between them. After all, freely traversing primeval forests is not something ordinary people
can do.
The area occupied by the demons is naturally the Third Continent. The Third Continent is roughly the same size as the Second Continent
, located east of the First Continent across the sea, and connected to the Fourth Continent only in its northernmost part.
The Fourth Continent, located in the northernmost part 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 race, werewolves, and elves.
As for the Fifth Continent, it is located in the southernmost part of the world, roughly the same size as the Fourth Continent,
but it is not connected to any other continent. Therefore, few people have ever been there, and those who have seem to never
return, making the Fifth Continent the most mysterious place on the Xuan Yin Continent.
The vampire race, not only has a small number of members, but their distribution area is also extremely uncertain, mostly located
in various primeval forests.
Liu Zifeng is currently in a primeval forest, the one
between the First and Second Continents.
He has been away from his cave for a day, and although he has been constantly running, he
has not yet left this primeval forest, demonstrating its vastness.
"Damn it, how big is this primeval forest? It's been a whole day, and we still haven't gotten out.
"
After leaping over another branch, Zifeng landed on the ground, sat down against a towering tree
, and complained to himself. He then took out a few pieces of dry rations from his bag and swallowed them hastily.
"Sigh... these rations are really not very tasty. I must have a good meal once I get out!
But I wonder how expensive the food is in those restaurants Master mentioned outside."
Picking up the few silver coins his master had prepared for him before he left, Zifeng was slightly worried. After all, going outside
wouldn't be like in the forest where he could hunt whatever he wanted to eat. Food outside was owned and had to
be bought with money, and the money he had brought didn't seem to be much.
On the Xuan Yin Continent, all races used the same currency, from amethyst coins to gold coins, then silver coins
, and copper coins, all at a ratio of one to one hundred.
At this moment, Zifeng had five silver coins in his hand, which was quite a sum for an ordinary person, roughly
equivalent to the price of ten wild buffalo.
He put the coins away, looked up at the setting sun, and got up to sling his pack over his shoulder again, ready to continue
his journey.
After all, in this primeval forest, if he stayed until dark, who
knew what ferocious beasts might appear? Little did he know, if it really came down to 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 Zifeng finally emerge from the primeval forest and reach a nearby
road.
"Finally out! According to my master, there's a small town not far from here; just follow the road east
to get there. I still need to keep going."
After confirming his direction, Zifeng didn't linger, channeled his inner energy again, and sped eastward along the road.
Nanliang Town is a small town located beneath Nanchuan City. Situated at the southwestern tip of the First Continent,
it's 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 looks almost exactly like the pictures Master showed us. Hmm… I guess
I'll have to find an inn to stay in first."
Generally, although towns beneath the main city belong to the managing families of the main city, it's rare
for families to assign their members to these towns. Therefore, Zifeng encountered no obstacles entering the town.
After wandering around the town for a while, Zifeng finally arrived at an ordinary inn. He asked for a room
, ordered a few dishes, and the total cost was over 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 too fast. I need
to find a way to make money quickly."
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 awakened 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 had a weapon, seemingly a spear, wrapped up 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 clothes made of animal hides 　　and each carried a large knife. 　　"Kid, hand over the money right now! If the three of us hadn't been 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 did we fail to catch it, but we almost let it hurt you. I didn't have to go through so much trouble. In fact
, I saved you. 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. I didn't expect to run into you here again today.
Stop talking nonsense! Hand over the money from selling the tiger, or we won't be polite."
After hearing this conversation, Zifeng roughly understood what had happened. It seemed that
a dispute arose from hunting prey. But three big men bullying a boy seemed a bit excessive, didn't it? The people around
didn't even step forward to stop them. It seemed that outsiders were indeed only concerned with their own safety.
Thinking of this, and seeing that the three big men below were also 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 one, but three adults are bullying a kid! Aren't you
ashamed?"
Seeing Zifeng suddenly land, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Hearing 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 meddle, or you'll get beaten up too!"
The burly man on the far left of the three said angrily.
"Third brother! Hehe, young man, you might not know the whole story. Actually, this kid
stole our prey..."
The burly man in the middle, seemingly the eldest, finally spoke up, scolding his third brother before
speaking to Zifeng with a slightly more friendly tone.
"No need for explanations. I think I understand your conversation. This prey shouldn't
have been yours to begin with, and now you're causing trouble for this young man. That seems a bit unreasonable, doesn't it?"
Zi Feng didn't give them a chance to finish speaking. Since these three guys were here to cause trouble for the young man, there was no need
to give them a friendly look.
This was just Zi Feng's personality; he was always willing to help those in need, regardless of whether the other party was
stronger than him. He couldn't stand seeing others being bullied.
"You! It seems you're really asking for trouble! Then don't blame us!"
His words were interrupted by Zi Feng, and the eldest brother's temper finally flared up. He glanced at his two
brothers, seemingly ready to make a move.
"Thank you, friend, but... you'd better not get involved!"
Just then, the young man who had been sitting down said this, then suddenly stood up, kicked over the table in front of him
, and simultaneously reached behind him with his right hand, pulling out a silver spear that was wrapped up, 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 before turning back to see their brother wounded.
After striking 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 with both hands, poking it with the butt pointing downwards, and leaped into the air,
kicking 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 fight the other burly man. However, he saw that the other
man was already lying on the ground, and the boy who had spoken up for him earlier was now standing with 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."
Zifeng shrugged helplessly. Seeing that all three were incapacitated, he smiled at the boy and turned to
go upstairs to his room.
Not long after, Zifeng came out of 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 initially wanted to go over and say hello, but worried the other person might think he was asking for something
in return, even though he hadn't really helped much... After thinking it over, Zifeng simply walked out of the inn. Since
the matter was resolved, there was no need to go back.
However, he hadn't gone far 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 at all. I'm sure even without me, with your skills, dealing with that last
one would have been a piece of cake."
"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 helping someone?"
"This..."
Zifeng scratched his head. It was indeed his first time helping someone, 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 then took me as his disciple and taught me some martial arts. I only came out of the mountains yesterday, so I
'm really not familiar with this place."
Although Zifeng's answer was clearly not very reasonable, the young man didn't press for details. After all, everyone
has their own unspeakable secrets that are inconvenient to tell outsiders, just like himself.
"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 since 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 some things when I was in the mountains, but now that I'm here, I find that the outside world is really complicated."
Zifeng said, looking at the buildings of all sizes and the crowds of people around him, 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 where things get complicated. There are all sorts of guilds and factions; you'll probably find it much more chaotic."
"Looks like 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 realized that he really knew too little. Although his master
had tried his best to tell him, he hadn't actually seen it all, so he still couldn't truly understand
.
"How about I come with you if you don't mind? I've never really had anything to
do anyway, I just wander the world, hehe."
"Really? Of course, that would be great. I can also ask you about the outside world whenever I want. However
, I don't plan to go anywhere right now..."
"Well... then what's your purpose in coming down from the mountain?"
The two walked to the roadside as they talked, and the conversation had become more relaxed, like that of friends.
"My goal... that's... I want to become stronger!"
"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 unwavering gaze, Zhao Yun nodded understandingly, assuming Zi Feng also wanted to
gain greater strength to achieve 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 seemed Zi Feng had some kind of story. Seeing the anger Zi Feng unintentionally revealed, Zhao Yun remained silent
, simply staring into his eyes, a slight feeling stirring within him.
"I'm sorry, I got a little agitated."
Remembering the massacre of his family, Zi Feng couldn't control his emotions and became somewhat agitated again, realizing
he had said some things he shouldn't have.
"It's alright. I suppose you have your own enemies too. But you still need to work hard to improve your strength
so you can better express your anger later. Otherwise, if your enemies find out, they might be wary of you, right?
"
"Yeah, hehe, thanks for reminding me. 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 to calculate his true strength level.
"What? You don't know the power levels in the Xuan Yin Continent? Like those three guys we just dealt with,
they were all Hermits. The leader was a Hermit Level 8, while the other two were Hermit Level 5. As for you
, you're a Hermit Master Level 7. For your age, that's quite impressive!"
Hearing Zhao Yun mention Hermits and Hermit Masters, Zifeng really had no idea. It seemed that 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. After Zifeng left, I
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?"
"Well, on the Xuan Yin Continent, there are ten skill levels: Hermit, Hermit Master, Hermit King, Hermit
Emperor, Hermit Venerable, Hermit Sect Master, Hermit Emperor, Hermit Saint, Hermit Immortal, and Hermit God. Each level has one to ten grades. Only
after reaching grade ten can you cultivate to reach the next grade. As for distinguishing someone else's level,
you just need to use your divine sense to probe their dantian. If their skill level is lower than yours, you will naturally know, but if
their skill level is higher, you will not be able to know."
After explaining all this in one breath, Zhao Yun sighed that even things that ordinary people know are quite difficult
to explain clearly.
"I see. So, my current skill level is Hidden Master Level 7."
After hearing Zhao Yun's explanation, Zi Feng used his divine sense to examine his own body. He indeed found
seven tadpole-sized objects floating and rotating in his dantian, which must be the so-called Hidden Master Level 7.
However, when he tried to probe Zhao Yun's body, he found that his divine sense couldn't penetrate it at all
.
"Hehe, you want to probe my skill level? I'm Hidden Master Level 9, two levels higher than you, so you
can't probe 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.
(III) The Lustful Guild
After leaving Nanliang Town, Zifeng and Zhao Yun raced all the way, arriving at
their destination, Nan'an City, in about half an hour.
On the way, Zhao Yun once again witnessed Zifeng's complete ignorance of the Xuan Yin Continent.
For example, Zifeng's question about whether there were any mounts or similar items was completely unanswered, given how fast he had been traveling.
It was indeed tiring, and of course, there was an answer, as Zhao Yun explained simply.
Mounts on the continent are divided into three categories: sea, land, and air. Sea mounts are less commonly used
, so their selling price is relatively cheaper. Flying mounts, unaffected by sea, land, 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 Misty Butterfly, costs about 5 gold coins!
This shows just how popular flying mounts are on the continent.
Zi Feng, after hearing this explanation, was speechless with surprise, but 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 fixed price because they were legendary
mounts.
The legendary mounts circulating in the world were: the Red Turtle, 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 themselves into 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 they were legends
, and if they were legends, who knew if they were true or not? Maybe they were just made up.
When Zifeng and Zhao Yun arrived at the city gate of Nan'an, they noticed that unlike in Nanliang Town, people
couldn't freely enter and exit. However, the checks weren't too strict. Some
people dressed like soldiers stood on either side of the gate, casually checking the passersby.
Later, there were others dressed in uniform but not resembling soldiers, also checking people entering the city
; they were probably members of some family.
The two lined up and slowly entered the city with the crowd.
"Those soldiers-looking people, they must be royal soldiers, right?"
Upon entering the city, Zifeng wasn't initially surprised by the dazzling buildings and facilities, 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 simplest continental power levels? Haha~"
"Damn, can you stop teasing me like that… I learned some things from my master when I was in the mountains
."
Hearing Zhao Yun's half-joking mockery, Zifeng felt speechless, but there was nothing he could do.
"Haha, alright, I'm not kidding 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. In fact, you could say that the Royal Army's strength now surpasses
any of the Ten Great Families."
The Royal Army was established after the Ten Great Families, though the exact date is unclear. Its original purpose
was simply to gather skilled warriors from the common people to resist
the various acts of burning, killing, and looting that occurred before the Ten Great Families changed cities every two years.
Because the rankings from the martial arts tournaments held by the Ten Great Families every two years varied, the ruling families of the cities
were constantly changing. Families that were consistently ranked in the bottom seven were relatively unaffected by the city's change of ownership,
as the cities were distributed fairly and evenly based on wealth. However, for the top three
families, even a slight rise or fall 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 ownership, and the Royal Army was established under these circumstances.
Originally, the royal family wasn't very strong. Aside from a few powerful experts, most were
ordinary civilians. After all, it was the common people who suffered the most from plunder. However, as time passed, the royal family
grew in number and strength, eventually forcing the ten great families to give up.
A powerful populace was difficult to control, so they agreed to a joint administration of all cities
to prevent further plundering.
Over the years, the royal family's membership continued to increase, eventually
surpassing the combined numbers of the ten great families. The royal family also continuously improved its management system, ultimately establishing
a system where the strongest individual became emperor, overseeing all royal affairs, with various departments
managed by other powerful individuals.
However, the royal family's rule has gradually become hereditary, with the emperor's successor
directly inheriting the throne.
Besides recruiting powerful experts from outside the royal family every year, the current royal family also constantly searches
for martial arts prodigies throughout the country, bringing them under their command to cultivate loyal and powerful individuals.
After listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, Zi Feng didn't show any understanding. Instead, he 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, the kind of family 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 practicing it, not only is their power far superior to others of the same level, but most importantly...their
genitals are also unique, driving all women crazy!"
"Uh..."
Seeing Zhao Yun's longing expression and gaze, Zi Feng felt slightly embarrassed. He hadn't expected Zhao Yun, who seemed
so upright, to be so lewd inside. 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 could wait.
Led by Zhao Yun, the two navigated through the crowds to what was roughly the city center.
The buildings there were diverse and varied, and various guild signs 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 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's Guild, glanced back unintentionally. Through
the bustling crowd, he saw an even more magnificent and towering building standing several dozen meters diagonally opposite
, its purple guild sign particularly eye-catching—Lust Guild.
"Um, Zhao Yun, could we wait a moment before entering the Assassin's Guild?"
Hearing Zi Feng call out to him from behind, Zhao Yun turned around and saw Zi Feng staring intently at
the building diagonally opposite. He followed Zi Feng's gaze.
"Um...where are you going?"
"Yeah! I want to take a look."
Zi Feng didn't turn around at Zhao Yun's question, still staring straight at the building. Then, without
waiting for Zhao Yun's reply, he strode towards the building diagonally opposite.
"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 to the Lust Guild wasn't
much better than Zi Feng's now. But this was only seeing the guild's sign from the outside;
it would be interesting to see how everyone behaved inside.
Following behind Zi Feng, Zhao Yun quickly walked towards the Lust Guild diagonally opposite.
Arriving at the guild, people were constantly coming and going, and Zi Feng even saw a few who
didn't seem to be human.
"Those are demons, but only low-ranking members. The slightly stronger ones can hide their demonic
horns and massive size, becoming indistinguishable from humans,"
Zhao Yun explained from behind, seeing Zi Feng looking at the demon members beside him.
"Oh, you can even transform into a human? 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 again. Shall we go in and take a look?"
It seems that after all this talk, Zifeng's mind wasn't on this at all. I wonder if he 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! I really don't understand why everyone's crowding here."
"So what are you doing here?"
Hearing Zifeng's complaint, Zhao Yun looked at him with disdain.
"Hehe, um...right, there are so many doors ahead, which one should we go into?"
Caught out, Zifeng looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, pointing to the large doors ahead.
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, peeking out.
The view from inside was blocked by a huge screen, obscuring the view. Above the doors, on
the wall, 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 door 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 plaque
had a large "C" on the front, with Zhao Yun's name below it, and the back
depicted the building of the Lust Guild.
"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."
Zhao Yun said, walking ahead towards the D-rank door. The D-rank door was also the most crowded
, while the S-rank door was practically empty.
Zifeng followed Zhao Yun, squeezing his way to the door. After learning that Zifeng didn't have a level bronze token,
one of the burly men at the door asked for his name and then told a woman standing inside. Soon after,
the woman gave Zifeng a level D bronze token engraved with his name, allowing him to pass through smoothly.
Once inside, after passing a large screen, Zifeng saw four more doors in front of him,
slightly smaller than the previous one. These doors no longer had level markings, but instead
read: Acquisition Hall, Spectacular Hall, Male Hall, Female Hall.
"What does this mean?" "
It's self-explanatory. 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 Spectacular Hall is for viewing only, not for use. As for the male..."
"I don't need to explain 'service hall' and 'women's hall,' right? Anyway, you shouldn't have gone into the women's hall."
"Oh, so other higher-level guilds also have other halls?" "
Of course! For example, in C-level guilds, there are brothels, oral sex halls, breast sex halls, and foot sex halls,
etc. The women there are of a higher quality than here. As for the higher-level guilds, there are uniform halls, stocking halls,
loli halls, etc., 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, actually, 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. They only exist in the city's lewd guilds."
Hearing that there were three more levels, Zifeng sighed, "People in the outside world really know how to enjoy themselves. With so many
halls, they'd drain everyone dry!"
"What are the other three?"
"These three levels are N, T, and R, but as for what kind of halls they have, I
've never even heard of them."
"Oh..."
The two didn't continue the 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, Zi Feng understood from Zhao Yun's expression that it was probably a painful memory for Zhao Yun
.
After entering the viewing hall, they saw various women standing on platforms
, posing seductively. Their clothing varied, and many were completely naked. However, the two had
no interest in them at all. At the same time, they were quite impressed by the men sitting on the soft chairs below the platforms, constantly masturbating
.
After wandering around for a short while, the two came out. Zifeng turned around and looked at Zhao Yun with pity again, thinking
that even the decent-looking ones in the viewing hall looked like this, so what about the men's hall...?
Seeing Zifeng's sympathetic look, 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 Lust Guild's level is upgraded based on an individual's contribution to the guild. That is, you contribute money or
effort. For example, you can sell your male or female slaves in the acquisition hall; you can accept money or not.
If you don't accept money, the guild will record it as contribution points. Of course, you can also donate money directly to the guild, which will also be recorded
as contribution points. When your contribution points accumulate to a certain level and the guild management deems it sufficient for an upgrade,
you will naturally receive a higher-level bronze badge the next time you visit.
However, there are many uncertainties. For example, if the top management of the guild wants to
decide who gets an S-rank bronze medal, no one has the right to interfere.
Regarding the issue of male and female slaves, slavery is actually forbidden among humans,
but sex slaves are allowed. Furthermore, when the Lust Guild sells sex slaves, the slaves must be willing;
otherwise, the royal family will intervene to release the slave and arrest the seller.
Actually, the requirement of the sex slave's willingness only applies to ordinary sex slave owners. If your strength
is high enough and your rank in the Lust Guild is high enough, the guild won't care whether your sex slave is willing,
and the royal family will simply turn a blind eye.
Later, Zhao Yun took Zifeng to the Assassin Guild and the Mercenary Guild, and obtained two more
D-rank bronze medals engraved with his name.
"Hey Zhao Yun, if everyone joins so many guilds, the bronze medals they carry
will be enough to crush them, won't they?"
Zi Feng said to Zhao Yun, who was walking ahead of him, looking at the two bronze medals he had accumulated in such a short time
.
"Oh, well, generally speaking, people don't choose to join too many guilds, because having too many guilds actually
makes it harder to develop. They usually stick to one or two guilds and work hard to improve their rank within that guild. 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 using it. I've removed my divine sense from it. You can absorb your own divine sense
and then use it."
Saying this, Zhao Yun took out a bronze ring from his silver-grade storage ring and handed it to Zifeng.
"Oh, Zhao Yun, thank you so much! I've helped you so much and you're still giving me this."
"It's nothing, if you feel bad, you can pay me back later, haha."
"Sure, okay. How much is this bronze ring? I can check and give it to you right now."
At this point, Zifeng felt 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.
"Forget it, I was just saying. How could I really take your money? But speaking of storage rings
, the market price for this bronze ring is around 50 silver coins."
Zifeng, who had just been about to take out money to give Zhao Yun, stopped abruptly upon hearing the price of the ring.
"50 silver coins!? You're kidding, right?"
"No, it's definitely 50 silver coins. This silver ring I'm wearing 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 dear, I already said I don't want your money! Let's go, let's go. After talking so much, we should find somewhere to have lunch
. My treat, let's go get roast chicken!"
"Oh, hehe, alright then, I won't be polite."
Since things had come to this point, Zifeng didn't refuse anymore. Anyway, he didn't have any money to give Zhao Yun right now, so
he'd 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 traffic girls?"
"Uh… how could that be…"
"Then what is it?"
"Don't ask…"
"Why? Tell me quickly, I want to level up quickly and see 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…"
