Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 822: Transformation

”What happened to you?” Lin Jingxia asked her nephew.

Lin Moxian was aware of her auntʼs question, but she decided to pretend not to know. ”What do you mean by that, Aunt?”

”Forget it.” Lin Jingxia put away her flying artifact immediately so as not to attract peopleʼs attention. ”Bring me to the kid.”

”Yes.”

A while later, Lin Moxian had already brought Lin Jingxia to the room he shared with Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he was surprised to find Wang Yourou sleeping on one of the beds. ʼWhat is she doing here?ʼ

Lin Jingxia paid no attention to Wang Yourou and walked in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3]. Her nose twitched at the familiar smell of his body. ”I can smell thousands of types of herbs from him.”

”Do you believe me now, Aunt?” Lin Moxian questioned his aunt as he stood by her side.

Lin Jingxia nodded and extended her hand to Lin Moxian, who immediately handed her a superior-grade healing pill. She closely observed the pill, trying to discern the herbs used to concoct it. ”I couldnʼt recognize some of the ingredients.”

”Eh?” Lin Moxian was taken aback by this, as Lin Jingxia, despite being the most skilled female alchemist in their universe, was unable to identify some of the ingredients in the pill. ”Does that mean my junior brother uses special ingredients?”

”Yes.” Lin Jingxia returned the pill to Lin Moxian. ”He is stabilizing his unstable foundation.”

”He previously broke through from the 7-Star Earth Realm to the 1-Star Heaven Realm.” Lin Jingxia tilted her head to Lin Moxian with raised eyebrows. ”He is different from us, and he is a dual cultivator. He has many people by his side, so he pushed himself to the extreme for them.”

Lin Jingxia nodded in understanding and looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3] again. She then took a pill, pulled his chin down, and forced him to swallow it.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] already knew of Lin Jingxia and Lin Moxianʼs arrival, but he was too busy stabilizing his foundation. Moreover, he knew they wouldnʼt hurt him, so he continued his actions. ʼMei, check the ingredients of the pill.ʼ

[Iʼve checked the ingredients, and thereʼs no poison in it, so you can swallow it, Master.] Even if the pill contained poison, Zhang Xiaolong [3] was confident that his poison immunity would save him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] hurriedly dissolved the pill and spread it all over his body. The pill not only warmed his body from the inside, but it also made his foundation more stable than before. ʼWhat a magnificent pill! Just one pill, but my foundation is gradually stabilizing on its own. Since I already know the ingredients, I will try concocting the pill later. That way, I donʼt have to wait long to stabilize my cultivation, and I can cultivate without worrying about my foundation.ʼ

After his body absorbed all of the pill, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his eyes and stood up. Lin Jingxiaʼs beauty and demeanor momentarily stunned him, but he hurriedly cupped his hand. ”Thank you for your help, Senior. Thanks to your pill, my foundation is almost completely stabilized.”

”En.” Lin Jingxia then asked. ”What kind of pills did you give my nephew?”

”Eh?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] was taken aback by her question. ”I gave him the five basic pills, Senior.”

Lin Jingxiaʼs expression showed that she did not believe him. ”Donʼt lie to me.”

[Master, this woman noticed that Lin Moxian used a disguise technique to hide the effects of your two pills.]

Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed wryly in his heart before taking out the two pills, and he showed them to Lin Jingxia directly, making Lin Moxian feel guilty toward the two of them. ”These two are the Beauty Restoring Pill and the Youthful Retaining Pill.”

Lin Jingxia was shocked after hearing the names of the two pills, especially since she and Tian Shuxiang had tried concocting such pills. Unfortunately, they were continuously faced with failure, yet Zhang Xiaolong [3] had such pills in his possession. She then turned to her nephew. ”Cancel your disguise.”

”Yes.” Lin Jingxia gasped in shock as soon as she saw Lin Moxianʼs true face. She groped his face with an incredulous look, making him awkward. ”Aunt.”

Lin Jingxia hurriedly pulled both hands back and took the two pills from Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs hands. ”Where did you get their recipe? How did you concoct them?”

Zhang Xiaolong [3] naturally wouldnʼt tell Lin Jingxia that he bought the two pills from the system shop, but he did tell her about the ingredients in them, which actually made her even more curious about them. ”Senior, I got their recipe and some of the ingredients in the Star Tower, so itʼs natural that you donʼt know about them.”

”The Star Tower?” Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded and explained to Lin Jingxia about it and the other towers. ”When are you going to the tower again?”

”Once my cultivation is completely stable.” Lin Jingxia immediately took out the same pill as before and gave it to Zhang Xiaolong [3]. ʼShe canʼt wait to go to the tower, huh?ʼ

”Swallow the Nine Revolutions Pill, and your cultivation will be fully stabilized.” Lin Jingxia wanted to return the two pills to him, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to give them to her. He also gave her the five basic pills. ”Thank you.”

”No need for thanks, Senior.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] sat back on the bed and swallowed the pill. A few minutes later, his foundation had completely stabilized, and it was more solid than before. ʼTch! If I had known she had this kind of pill, I wouldnʼt have rushed to kill those two demons, and I could have broken through to the 2-Star Heaven Realm straight away.ʼ ”Senior, I will take you to the Star Tower with us, but we must settle the matters in this realm first, especially since the Nameless One and the others are still away.”

”All right.” Lin Jingxia agreed. ”Iʼll go to my room.”

After Lin Jingxia left, Lin Moxian released a soft sigh and patted Zhang Xiaolong [3]ʼs shoulder. ”Sorry, my aunt noticed my disguise.”

”Haha.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed. ”Itʼs a trivial matter, so you donʼt need to apologize. Moreover, your aunt gave me two pills with extraordinary effects, and my foundation is stable now.”

”What is she doing here?” Lin Moxian pointed at Wang Yourou.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] scratched his head and told him about Wang Yourouʼs request, making him facepalm. ”Sheʼs too tired, so sheʼll probably sleep for a long time.”

”Let her sleep then.” Lin Moxian then lay down on his bed, but he suddenly received a voice transmission from Wang Zhemin. ”The Huan and Xiong clans are preparing their men.”

”Both demons are dead, and Long Jiutian hasnʼt returned to this realm yet, so Iʼm sure they wonʼt make a move soon.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] lay down on his bed and hugged Wang Yourou, making Lin Moxian laugh in amusement at the sight. ”This woman is quite funny and amusing, but her arrogance is too high.”

”Haha.” Lin Moxian laughed at. ”Itʼs not a big deal for you, right? You have dozens of women, so Iʼm sure you can tame her. If you get her, then her Wang Clan will become your subordinate, which will benefit you.”

”Letʼs see in the future.” Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the map to monitor the people from the two clans, and he also sent the Demonʼs Eye Orb to the Huang Clan to investigate the clan deeper because his intuition told him that there was something unusual within the clan.

In the main hall of the Xiong Clan, the clan leaders were gathered together with several leaders from other clans. An old man with long black hair, Huang Zhejun, sat on the head seat, rubbing his lengthy beard. He was the ancestor of the clan, Huang Zhejun, accompanied by an old woman, who was his wife.

On the right side, several people from his Xiong Clan sat side by side with serious expressions, and they were led by their ancestor, Xiong Yehui. On the left side, Huang Jiguang sat side by side with his brothers and sisters and their respective partners.

However, there were several other people on the side of the Huang Clan members, and the writing on their robes showed that they were people from the Lei Clan, led by Lei Xuanfeng.

”Brother-in-law, do you think they were caught by Guan Chenhong?” Lei Xuanfeng asked Huang Zhejun.

”Thatʼs most likely the case.” Huang Zhejun then told them. ”For the past three days, Wang Zhemin has been going back and forth several times between the Wang Clan and the defense center. Unfortunately, my men couldnʼt check inside because Guan Chenhong would know right away, and the place is covered by an anti-spying formation, so I donʼt have accurate information about their activities. Since my people and Xiong Mingleiʼs people havenʼt returned from there, I suspect that Old Guan captured and locked them up in that place.”

Xiong Yehuiʼs expression turned ugly after hearing that, and he immediately asked a few questions. ”Have you contacted those two people, Brother Huang? Why didnʼt they save our people? Didnʼt Long Jiutian send them specifically to help us?”

”Some time after our people entered that place, Long Jiutian contacted me and told me that his two men were dead; otherwise, Old Guan would not have been able to capture them.” Huang Zhejunʼs answer shocked both Xiong Yehui and Lei Xuanfeng. ”He is on his way to our realm now, and he asked us to be prepared. Once he arrives in two days, we will attack and take over the place, especially since that place is our main key to taking over this realm.”

”Husband, I have a bad feeling about this matter.” Lei Xuanfeng and Xiong Yehui turned to Huang Zhejunʼs wife, Lei Huiyin. ”We had been planning everything carefully for the past few months, but the situation suddenly changed today. I suspect that something has happened in this realm without our knowledge, which has a direct impact on our plans.”

”What do you think really happened, sister?” Lei Xuanfeng asked.

Lei Huyin shook her head. ”I canʼt confirm that, but it might have something to do with Hun Diʼs three disciples, especially since this incident happened after they arrived in our realm.”

”If you didnʼt mention those three, I wouldnʼt have thought of that possibility.” Xiong Yehui replied with a serious expression. ”A few days ago, Hun Diʼs two male disciples met Jian Wufeng, and the young one managed to suppress Wang Yourou, even though his cultivation was still at the 1-Star Heaven Realm.”

”Being able to suppress Wang Yourou with such a low cultivation does not make sense, so I agree with my sister that those three brats have something to do with todayʼs incident.” Lei Xuanfeng then asked them. ”Do you think they killed those two people?”

Huang Zhejun immediately answered him. ”Lin Moxian and his junior sister appeared in the defense center, but his junior brother had not joined them previously. I originally thought that brat got rid of those two people, but I thought it was too ridiculous, especially since it was impossible for a cultivator at the 1-Star Heaven Realm to fight two cultivators at the 1-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm, and they could kill him like an ant.”

”Father.” Huang Zhejun looked at his son, Huang Jiguang. ”Since that kid could suppress Wang Yourou with his low cultivation, I think Hun Di gave him a special artifact. If my guess is correct, he might be the one who eliminated the two of them. They lived in the Golden Crane Inn, and I think we should move to capture them first, or they will thwart our next plan.”

”Brother-in-law, I agree with my nephew; we must capture them to secure our plan.” Lei Xuanfeng spoke.

Xiong Yehui also agreed with the two. ”We should move now before the situation gets worse, or we will suffer if our plans fail miserably.”

Huang Zhejun also felt that it was the best option they had right now, but Lei Huiyin seemed doubtful about the success of their plan to capture Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the others. ”Husband, we should not move ourselves, and you can order others to try to capture them.”

”All right.” Huang Zhejun immediately contacted someone, as did Lei Xuanfeng and Xiong Yehui. ”Letʼs wait for their report.”

At the Phoenix Palace, Feng Yao and Zhang Fei [4] stood above the main gate, awaiting the arrival of the dark phoenix. ”How long do you think it will take for her to arrive in this realm?”

”According to that womanʼs information, Feng Yichen will arrive here this morning at the earliest.” Zhang Fei [4] then asked her. ”Are you sure you can handle her by yourself? I know you have Huo Ling, but that woman is stronger than expected.”

Feng Yao turned to him with a smile. ”Youʼve always been curious about me, right? Iʼll show you a little bit of my abilities when I face Feng Yichen, so you should watch me carefully, and youʼll understand the difference between us.”

”Donʼt worry, I will watch your fight with Feng Yichen later from close range.” Zhang Fei [4] let out a soft sigh. ”Once we resolve the issue in the upper realms, I need your help to secure Earth. Fa Ling is too strong, so I canʼt fight with her there, or our fight will affect those earthlings.”

”Sure.”

Inside the training room, Zhang Fei received a notification that Hong Yao had completed her transformation, and he immediately opened the glass cover of the science capsule. Huang Rong and the other five women, who were curious about it, immediately surrounded the capsule.

Soon, they saw Hong Yao lying inside the capsule, but her appearance had changed completely. She still looked like a normal woman, but her black hair turned blacker. Her white skin also turned black, and two black rabbit ears appeared on her head.

ʼScan her, Mei.ʼ

[Yes, Master.]

”Oh?” Hong Yaoʼs status surprised Zhang Fei. ”I didnʼt expect her to become a beast cultivator once she transformed into the Phantom Eclipse Rabbit.”

”Is that true? Is Hong Yao really a beast cultivator now?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei nodded at them. ”I have never turned ordinary humans into beasts before, so I really didnʼt expect the results. This is excellent because I donʼt have to waste time looking for cultivation veins for you guys, and all of you will become beast cultivators after you turn into beasts.”

The six women were overjoyed to hear that, especially since they could be together with Zhang Fei forever if they turned into beast cultivators.

Zhang Fei lifted Hong Yao out of the capsule and laid her on the bed. After that, he took out six different types of beast cores, all of which came from Heaven Rank beasts. He explained to the six women the advantages and disadvantages of each type of beast so they could choose one that suited their wishes.

After they had considered everything carefully, Huang Rong and the others immediately chose their respective beast cores.

”My turn, Fei!” Zhang Fei smiled amusedly at Huang Rongʼs impatience, and Mei immediately began the process as soon as she lay down in the capsule.

After that, Zhang Fei immediately woke Hong Yao up, but he didnʼt give her a chance to see her new appearance. He started to dual cultivate with her right away, especially since her cultivation was still at rock bottom, so he wanted to help her first.
