The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 11

Ch 11: Crisis

Ch 11: Crisis

Looking at the departing back of the old man, Xi Yang breathed a sigh of relief, with absolutely no intention of chasing after him. In the final analysis, this body was too weak, and he couldn’t exert his full strength at all.

Sitting cross-legged on a large rock, he closed his eyes and looked inward at the situation in his Dantian. This battle had consumed ten strands of Spiritual Energy, most of which were spent on unblocking his Qi and Blood.

Having calmed his mind, Xi Yang reflected on the process of obtaining the Qingjing Stone. Apart from showing it to Han Cheng, no one else knew. But the possibility of it being Han Cheng was small.

Thinking of this, Xi Yang took out the Qingjing Stone wrapped in cloth. Looking at the Qingjing Stone that shone brightly in the darkness, he understood. It wasn’t difficult to see that he had a Qingjing Stone in his pocket with just a little understanding of crystal stones. The first person he met after obtaining the Qingjing Stone was Zeng Xing’s father. Recalling the way he looked at him at the time, it wasn’t at his face, but at his pants pocket.

Thinking of this, Xi Yang squeezed the cloth wrapping the Qingjing Stone and discovered that the cloth material was metal. In this way, Han Cheng’s suspicion could be ruled out. It was just that the Zeng Xing family was even more troublesome. Not only did they have an uncle who was the chief of the police station, but his father looked like a ruthless character at first glance, and there was also an expert like the Masked Old Man. This stone couldn’t be kept in his hands. It was a pity that his current cultivation was too low to absorb the Spiritual Energy within this crystal stone.

He cultivated for an entire night, recovering the Spiritual Energy in his body, and at the same time, condensed five more strands of Spiritual Energy, with the total amount of Spiritual Energy in his Dantian breaking through thirty strands. The strength of his body had also increased a lot. However, he was still seventy strands of Spiritual Energy away from Qi Refining Stage 2. Condensing ten strands a day would take at least a week.

As the sun was about to rise, Xi Yang looked towards the east, welcoming the first ray of dawn. As the sun slowly rose, a wisp of purple Qi floated from the horizon. Xi Yang took a deep breath and inhaled this wisp of purple Qi into his body.

To his disappointment, after absorbing this wisp of purple Qi, the Spiritual Energy in his body only increased by one strand. This made Xi Yang feel quite depressed. It seemed that only the first wisp of purple Qi entering his body could condense five strands of Spiritual Energy.

Just then, a series of heavy footsteps came. Xi Yang turned his head and looked over, only to see Liu Jiazhou struggling to climb up the mountain road, his clothes soaked with sweat, panting as he climbed to the top of the mountain.

Xi Yang stood up and looked at him with a smile: “Brother Liu, we meet again!”

Liu Jiazhou saw Xi Yang’s figure at a glance, and a trace of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

He panted heavily, staring at Xi Yang and said, “Are you sure you only got up this morning to climb the mountain? Could it be that you came last night!” As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the series of footprints left on the ground, as well as the trampled bushes, his heart filled with incomprehension.

Xi Yang smiled slightly and explained, “I just arrived here a little earlier than you. I really like watching the sunrise, so I come here before dawn every day to enjoy the beautiful scenery.” Of course, he didn’t mention the fact that he had spent the night here last night. After all, as a student, this kind of behavior wasn’t normal. Moreover, now that this place had been exposed, he would need to find a new mountain tomorrow to continue cultivating.

Hearing this, Liu Jiazhou squatted down and pointed at the footprints on the ground, saying, “These footprints aren’t yours. Based on the depth of the footprints, it can be inferred that the person who left them is an expert. Although there are many footsteps, they aren’t chaotic. And here, these are your footprints. There’s still a layer of dew on top of these footprints, which means they weren’t left this morning!” After saying that, he looked straight at Xi Yang.

Hearing this, Xi Yang glanced at him. What was this guy? He was almost catching up with the coroner in the yamen! He could infer all this from just these traces. He couldn’t help but touch his forehead, he had been careless.

He laughed and said, “Brother Liu, no. Student Liu is really joking, are you telling a story? Could it be that I’ve become an unparalleled expert!”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Liu Jiazhou on the shoulder. “Don’t overthink it, I’m just an ordinary person!”

Liu Jiazhou smiled, “That’s right! By the way, do you want to compete again today?”

“Okay, the loser treats breakfast!” Xi Yang replied.

“Okay!” Saying that, Liu Jiazhou turned around and ran down the mountain.

Looking at his back, Xi Yang sighed helplessly in his heart, secretly pondering: “If I were to ask him to help introduce his father, Liu Zhengtian, at this moment, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be willing, and might even lose a friend because of it! The most troublesome problem right now is that the Zeng Xing family has locked their eyes on me, and I must find a solution as soon as possible.

Today is Wednesday, and in two days it will be Friday. At that time, I will go to the county town to sell the Qingjing Stone, and then buy a house in the town to facilitate my cultivation. Otherwise, traveling back and forth to the mountains every day will attract the attention of others sooner or later.”

Immediately, he turned his head and looked down the mountain, only to see Liu Jiazhou descending the mountain at a rapid speed, already reaching the mountainside.

Xi Yang smiled slightly, gently took a step, and with one step, he had crossed several meters.

Inside the breakfast shop at the school gate, the Innkeeper saw Liu Jiazhou, who was red-faced and covered in sweat, and said with a smile, “Did you come back so quickly today?”

Liu Jiazhou nodded politely, looking for Xi Yang’s figure in the breakfast shop, and asked, “Where’s the classmate who was sitting across from me yesterday?”

Hearing this, the Innkeeper pointed to Xi Yang, who had just returned, “Isn’t he just arriving?”

Seeing the Innkeeper’s actions, Xi Yang quickly stepped forward, “Innkeeper, twenty steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk!”

Saying that, Xi Yang came and sat down opposite Liu Jiazhou. Xi Yang said with a smile, “What’s wrong? I’m a little slower than you today, are you not used to it?”

Liu Jiazhou looked at Xi Yang, who had just arrived, and muttered to himself: He clearly arrived earlier, but he was as tired as a dog, while Xi Yang looked as relaxed and comfortable as if he was taking a walk, and his complexion was the same as usual. The difference was really too great! He sat down with a thud and couldn’t help but ask, “Xi Yang, tell me the truth, are you a hidden expert?”

At this time, the Shop Owner brought up twenty steamed buns. After hearing Liu Jiazhou’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Liu Jiazhou, what nonsense are you talking about? How could an expert still be a junior high school student? And look at him, his skin is fair and delicate, how could he look like someone who practices martial arts!”

Liu Jiazhou shook his head and retorted, “Innkeeper, you don’t know, some reclusive experts often hide their true strength. On the surface, they may seem like just teenagers in their teens, but in reality, they may already be seventy or eighty years old!”

Hearing this, Xi Yang coughed twice, staring at Liu Jiazhou with a slightly dissatisfied look.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Liu Jiazhou quickly waved his hand and explained, “Xi Yang, no… I didn’t mean that… Ah, how should I say it!”

He patted him on the shoulder, “If you don’t know how to say it, then don’t say it, eat a steamed bun!”

Saying that, Xi Yang ignored him and ate on his own.

After eating a few steamed buns, Liu Jiazhou thought about it more and more, and then stood up and asked, “Xi Yang, are you really an expert?”

Looking at his persistent look, Xi Yang thought for a while, took out something wrapped in cloth from his pocket, and placed it in front of him, “Take this thing and show it to your father! You will know the answer!”

Saying that, Xi Yang had already finished eating the plate of steamed buns that belonged to him on the table, and his eyes fell on his plate of steamed buns.

Liu Jiazhou picked up the thing and looked at it, then put it in his pocket and said, “Okay!”

Xi Yang didn’t care, and pointed to the steamed buns in front of him.

Liu Jiazhou smiled and pushed the steamed buns in front of Xi Yang.

Xi Yang was also not polite, quickly finished eating the steamed buns on the plate, and then, he picked up the soy milk in front of him and finished it in one gulp.

Liu Jiazhou was dumbfounded. There were twenty steamed buns, each the size of a fist. Usually, he would eat five at most, but he was good, he ate nineteen steamed buns in one breath, and without even breathing!

Ignoring his gaze, Xi Yang shouted, “Innkeeper, check out!”

The Innkeeper quickly walked over and said with a smile, “Okay, that’s twenty-two Yuan in total!”

Xi Yang paid the money quickly, turned his head and pointed to Liu Jiazhou’s pocket, and said, “Don’t forget!”

Liu Jiazhou nodded.

Immediately, Xi Yang waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the school.

🇨🇳)The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road

冥路归来的仙人
Score 8.4
Status: Ongoing Author: Released: 2024 Native Language: Chinese
An Immortal returned from the Netherworld Road, only to be reborn in the body of a middle school student. No longer weak, he punches campus bullies and kicks the money-stealing green tea girl. Thus begins his lifes counterattack... *** The oppressive weight of dark clouds mirrored the despair crushing Xi Yang. A quiet, studious boy in a world that favored brute force, he was an easy target. Dragged into a deserted dormitory on a thunderous night by the schools notorious bullies, Zeng Xing and Xu Jia, Xi Yang faced the brutal reality of his powerlessness. Vicious slaps turned into merciless blows, his head smashed against cold iron, blood blossoming in the darkness. Left broken and bleeding, abandoned by fearful onlookers and complicit roommates, Xi Yang felt his life ebb away under the flickering lightning. This was an end born of malice and indifference. But it was also a beginning. As a final, colossal bolt of lightning struck, fate intervened. Xi Yang's eyes snapped open, but they held the ancient, weary gaze of a being far older than the dying teenager. This was Xi Yang, yes, but not the boy who had just succumbed. This was an Immortal cultivator, a powerhouse who had battled through the Netherworld Road, his soul desperately seeking refuge after a calamitous return. He had found it in the tragically discarded vessel of a boy sharing his name. Awakening to a world of electric lights, strange technologies, and critically, thin spiritual energy, the Immortal Xi Yang faced a daunting challenge. His immense power was crippled, his cultivation reset. Yet, within him stirred the Reincarnation Lamp, a mystical artifact burning with Chaos Flame, offering a path back to the pinnacle. Bound by the lingering resentment of the boy he now inhabited, he swore vengeance upon those who had snuffed out a young life so cruelly. From the ashes of campus bullying rises an ancient soul, ready to forge a new legend, cultivate against impossible odds, and navigate the treacherous currents of a modern world that holds dangers far beyond schoolyard thugs. His journey back to the apex of the Immortal Dao begins now.
