Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Zhang Fei's first and second clones went straight to the Nine Hells Realm to complete the first and third quests. He brought all the demons by his side to that realm so they could train and increase their strength at the same time. Meanwhile, his third clone cultivates in the Xianjin Realm, as he helps him to learn the ice elemental law.

"What is he doing now? Why hasn't he opened his eyes yet?" Yan Yinqing touched then Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s shoulders "Half of his body became burning hot, and the other half became extremely cold."

Lin Moxian immediately remembered the situation in the phoenix realm. "Yinqing, our junior brother was practicing in the sea of ​​fire and icy lake at the same time, so his body became like this now."

"He probably wants to train the fire and ice elemental laws."

"That's right." Lin Moxian nodded in agreement with Tantai Lingyan. "His fire elemental law has reached the intermediate stage, and he probably wants to break through to the half-perfection stage. Since he has just obtained the ice element, he will start studying the ice elemental law."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] suddenly opened both of his palms. His ice qi appeared on his left palm, and his fire qi appeared on his right palm, making Lin Moxian and the two women wonder.

They were shocked when Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought the two opposing elements close to each other, and Yan Yinqing wanted to stop him because it was very dangerous.

However, Tantai Lingyan stopped her daughter straight away. "No need to panic."

"But—"

"Look at both of them, Yinqing." Lin Moxian pointed at the two elements. "The two of them are obviously stable and don't reject each other, which means he has often combined the two."

"How is that possible, Senior Brother? Ice and fire conflict with each other, so there is no way the two can combine." Yan Yinqing asked with an incredulous look.

"Just watch him."

Just as his fire and ice Qi were approaching each other, Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s dark Qi suddenly enveloped both of them and pulled them closer.

Tantai Lingyan nodded her head a few times. "This kid intentionally used his dark Qi as a counterbalance to both of them."

After a while, the three elements merged to form an ice lotus, encircled by dark flame, leaving the three people stunned.

Yan Yinqing's mouth opened the widest, forming a wide O shape. Her eyes could not move from the lotus, as if captured by its beauty.

"This lotus is a combination of the three elements, and it is truly beautiful." Tantai Lingyang was mesmerized by the beauty of the ice lotus, and she felt that it was really pretty, even though the dark flame encircled it.

[Ding]

[Congratulations! The host has mastered the initial stage of the ice elemental law.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his eyes. "This lotus is the Hellflame Frost Lotus, and I first created it with my big sis. At first, I had a hard time believing in the idea, and we failed many times. After trying for so long, we finally managed to create it as our combined technique, but I can now use it by myself after I obtained the ice element."

"Does this mean you can combine all your elements?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] dispelled the lotus and combined his other elements in turn, making Tantai Ling Yan and the others sigh in their hearts. Like fire and ice, light and darkness were also opposites, and the resistance of both was much stronger. They should never be able to merge, like day and night, but he was able to effortlessly merge the two.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] pulled all his elements back. "Incredible, right?"

"All your actions always leave me speechless." Lin Moxian uttered these words with a shake of his head. "How about your cultivation foundation? Has it become more stable?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at him. "Thanks to this jade and my clones, my cultivation foundation has become quite stable now, and it will be fully stable much sooner than I previously estimated. I would like to stay here longer, but I don't have the time to relax. So please help me talk to Senior Yishen, and we will go to Cheng Gaoji's residence after this."

"All right." Lin Moxian immediately left them to look for Tian Yishen.

Yan Yinqing then asked him. "Is it really okay for you to leave this place? This jade is very useful, so I think you should stay here longer."

"How did you get to know Cheng Gaoji?" Tantai Lingyan asked him too.

"Senior sister, there are many problems at hand, so I have to prepare some things to deal with them. Moreover, my condition is not as bad as you think, so you don't need to worry." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then told Tantai Lingyan about his relationship with Cheng Gaoji. "Since then, he is my subordinate, and I will bring him back to this realm after we arrive at his residence."

Before long, Lin Moxian returned with Tian Yishen, who immediately checked Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s condition. "Are you sure you don't want to stay here longer? Your cultivation foundation has improved a lot, but it's still far from stable."

"Senior, I still have some things to prepare, and I want to go to the Void Heaven Realm too, so I have to go now." Since Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s condition was much better than before, Tian Yishen allowed him to leave his hospital.

Sometime later, they had arrived at Cheng Gaoji's residence in another sector, and they were able to enter it easily by following the old man's instructions.

Once they arrived inside, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the gate and disappeared inside. However, he was gone for only a few minutes, and he returned to the residence again together with Cheng Gaoji, Duan Zhao, Gang Zhishou, Ah Hu, and Lu Zhong. As for Xian Xian, he deliberately left her to train inside the training space, especially since the Qi inside was no different from the one in the Xianjin Realm.

"Oh?" Cheng Gaoji was surprised by the presence of the two women. "I didn't expect you to be here too, Tantai Lingyan."

Tantai Lingyan nodded at him. "I checked with Tian Yishen, and Little Moxian told me about Zhang Fei, so here I am now. However, I was surprised to hear that you decided to follow him, Cheng Gaoji."

"Tch!" Cheng Gaoji chose not to discuss that matter and asked Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Have you bought those materials?"

"I arrived in this realm yesterday in an unconscious state, and I just left Senior Yishen's hospital today, so I haven't had an opportunity to look for those materials." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned to Lin Moxian. "Senior brother, we will go to the Blacksmith Union's shop now, and I hope Ji Changlan is there."

Lin Moxian nodded and spoke to the two women. "Aunt Lingyan and Yinqing, you two can return to your lodgings first, and we will meet you two there later."

"All right." The four of them immediately left Cheng Gaoji's residence.

Cheng Gaoji then instructed Duan Zhao and his three disciples on several things. "There are many empty rooms in this residence, so the four of you can choose the one you like. After that, you guys can cultivate first, and I will go out to look for materials to mass produce the weapon."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] and Lin Moxian had already arrived at the blacksmith union's shop, but they couldn't find Ji Changlan there. The people at the shop told them that their leader would arrive in a week, so they decided to wait for him in the realm.

Lin Moxian then took Zhang Xiaolong [3] to the alchemist shops, where he bought various types of herb seeds that were not yet available in the Sealed World Pearl. "Why don't you buy ready-to-use herbs and buy their seeds instead?"

"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then explained to him. "Senior brother, ready-to-use herbs are too expensive, and buying them will only waste jewels. Moreover, I have a special place with various types of herbs in my home realm, and I have several women with the wood elements by my side, so I will plant these seeds there. As long as they use their wood elements, these seeds will grow faster, and their numbers will be greater, which is much more profitable for me."

"High-level wood elemental cultivators are cheaters because they can easily control herb growth, so you're lucky to have them there." Lin Moxian then asked again. "Do you have plans to open a shop in this realm? If you don't have a backer, it might be difficult for you to do so. Fortunately, you have Cheng Gaoji by your side, and Ji Changlan has probably heard of your blacksmithing abilities, so I think it's no problem for you to open a shop here."

"What is the price of the cheapest building in this realm, Senior Brother?"

Lin Moxian shook his head. "I don't have any information about that, but I know someone who might be able to help you with that, so I'll take you to him now."

Sometime later, they arrived at the tower in the center of the realm, and Lin Moxian led Zhang Xiaolong [3] into it. He then took him away to one of the rooms on the first floor, where a young man was checking some documents.

"Hmm?" The young man looked at the two of them directly. "Why did you only come here today, Moxian? I heard that you arrived in this realm yesterday, but you didn't come directly to me."

"Jian Wufeng, I still had many things to do yesterday, and Yinying kept clinging to me, so I couldn't meet you." Lin Moxian then sat in front of him. "This is my junior brother, Zhang Fei. He wants to buy a building for his shop, but I'm not familiar with this realm. Since you are the best person to search for information about the buildings in this realm, I brought him to you."

Jian Wufeng looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] in surprise, not expecting that Hun Di would take a cultivator in the ten mortal realms as his disciple. "Tell me about buildings that fit your criteria, and I will give you information about some of them."

"Senior, I don't need one that is too big, but I need at least two floors. I will use the first floor for my restaurant and the second floor for my shop." Zhang Xiaolong [3] told him.

Jian Wufeng shook his head at him. "I don't know about your home realm, but you can't do that in this realm. A shop and a restaurant have to be separated into two buildings, especially since they are located in two different districts."

"In that case, I need a building for my shop first, and I'll think about the building for my restaurant in the future."

"Wait a moment." Jian Wufeng immediately stood up and took a book from the shelf before placing it on the table. "The size and price of each building are listed below the image, so you can choose one that is suitable for your shop."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened the book, and there were many pictures of various kinds of buildings, almost all of which were luxurious buildings. After searching for some time, he found a building that was quite spacious, but the price was costly at one million purple jewels, which was equivalent to one billion blue jewels. 'Fuck! Buildings in this realm are truly expensive, and I only have seventy million blue jewels now!'

"Are you interested in this building, Junior Brother?" Lin Moxian asked him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded at him. "This building is suitable for my shop, but the price is simply too expensive, so I think I will look for a smaller one."

"If you don't have enough jewels, I can help you with that." Zhang Xiaolong [3] tilted his head at Lin Moxian. "Hey! You are my junior brother, and you have already helped me with Xi Hongyan. Furthermore, your pills are quite precious, so you don't need to think too much about it."

"But—"

"No need to think about it." Lin Moxian then threw a storage ring to Jian Wufeng. "A billion purple jewels are ready inside, so you can help my junior brother to take care of this building."

Instead, Jian Wufeng looked suspiciously at Lin Moxian. "Have you succeeded in winning that indifferent woman's heart now?"

"Not yet." Lin Moxian then patted Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s shoulders. "I haven't won Xi Hongyan's heart yet, but my junior brother has already helped me with something. Sooner or later, she will become my woman, and I just need to wait for the right time for that. By the way, if you still have trouble winning Wang Yourou's heart, you can learn from him to conquer her. He's younger than us, but his wives are numerous."

Jian Wufeng immediately turned to Zhang Xiaolong [3], who rubbed his nose awkwardly. "What did you do to help this guy get Xi Hongyan?"

"I didn't do anything excessive to Xi Hongyan, and I used our master's soul technique to do something to her." Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer surprised Jian Wufeng. "Even though I've helped my senior brother with that, he still has to try on his own to get her. However, it's still quite difficult because she doesn't really like men, and she prefers women."

"Xi Hongyan and Wang Yourou have almost similar characters, and both of them prefer women over men. They were once in a relationship, but it ended for an unknown reason, and they have been distant ever since." Jian Wufeng then walked out. "Let's talk while looking at the building, and I will help you take care of everything if you feel it is suitable after seeing it in person."

A few minutes later, they had already arrived at the building, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] didn't expect that it was quite close to the Blacksmith Union's shop.

Jian Wufeng wanted to lead the two men into the building, but his gaze was distracted by a woman who had just walked out of the Blacksmith Union's shop.

The woman was quite attractive in Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s eyes, but she was not attractive enough to pique his interest. Lin Moxian then told him. "She is Wang Yourou, Junior Brother. The Wang Clan and the Jian Clan are the two strongest clans in this realm, and they are directly under the Nameless One."

"Oh." Wang Yourou suddenly turned her head towards them, but she snorted when she saw Jian Wufeng and Lin Moxian, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] could see the disgust in her eyes. 'This woman! She really resembles Xi Hongyan!'

"Hey, she's walking this way." Lin Moxian spoke softly to Jian Wufeng.

Every time she walked, Wang Yourou's movements looked so graceful, and her long purple hair fluttered in the wind. Her ample bosoms swayed, and her curves wove like a slithering snake.

Arriving in front of them, Wang Yourou ignored Jian Wufeng and Lin Moxian. She bent down slightly and sniffed Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Who are you, little brat? Did you meet Xi Hongyan not long ago? Even though her scent on your body is quite faint, I can still smell it."

"Senior sister, this little brat is not what you think, so you should keep your distance from me." Wang Yourou wrinkled her brows as she stared at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "You are right; I met Xi Hongyan some time ago, and we discussed some important matters."

Wang Yourou propped her chin, and her lips curled up into a faint smile, but her eyes were clearly condescending. "Why would she be willing to meet a weak brat like you? What did you discuss with her?"

"You may be Xi Hongyan's ex-lover, but we don't even know each other, so I have no obligation to tell you about our conversation, right?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] then walked towards the building. "I apologize, but I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, and I want to see the inside of this building."
