The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 3

Ch 3: Cultivation

On the edge of Xizhao Town. In a mountain gully, Xi Yang, with his head wrapped in gauze, looked at the house located in this small mountain gully.

The exterior walls were not yet plastered, the wooden door was covered with black patches, and a large earthen yard in front of the door was overgrown with weeds.

Xi Yang found the key, opened the door, and looked at the empty house, sighing inwardly. The original owner of this body lived alone in such a big house, far from any village or shop, and without any relatives to help. In his memory, he had grandparents living in the village, which was also very far away! His parents had deposited Xi Yang’s living expenses for the year with his grandfather. Every weekend when he went to school, he had to go to his grandfather’s house to get five Dragon Country Currency for living expenses.

Of course, it wasn’t that easy to get. His grandfather would arrange several tasks for him to do. If he finished them, he would naturally get the money. If he didn’t finish them, then sorry, his grandfather would go out to work and wouldn’t be back until very late, so this week’s living expenses would be waived!

Thinking back to this, Xi Yang shook his head. What kind of life did this kid live? Alas, now that he has become the owner of this body, he must never live like this again! Then he took out the four hundred Dragon Country Currency from his pocket, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He had 1,500 Dragon Country Currency, and spent 1,100 Dragon Country Currency for three days in the hospital.

Fortunately, he asked for an extra five hundred Dragon Country Currency, otherwise he wouldn’t have enough for medical expenses. He couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “You have guts. If I don’t let you experience the wrath of an Immortal, I will have cultivated for these hundreds of years in vain!”

After simply tidying up the house, he went to the market to buy some food, and also bought some medicinal materials to decoct into a medicinal soup to restore his vitality.

After doing all this, it was already evening.

Xi Yang closed the door early and came to the room, sitting down cross-legged.

At Xizhao Middle School, the students who had just finished evening self-study had already returned to their dormitories to rest. Zeng Xing stopped Xu Jia under a big tree in front of the dormitory door.

“Jiazi, Xi Yang cheated my Uncle Zeng out of 1,500 Dragon Country Currency! What do you think we should do?” Zeng Xing said with an angry face.

Xu Jia heard this and said, “Brother Zeng, why don’t we just forget it! We beat him so badly, let’s just treat it as compensation for his medical expenses!”

Zeng Xing was furious when he heard this, pointing at Xu Jia’s nose and cursing, “You’re a good-for-nothing, Jiazi. You were the one who smashed him. I’m helping you take the blame, and you, you’re crossing the river and tearing down the bridge! I don’t care, since you said it’s to compensate him for medical expenses, then you’ll pay for it!”

Xu Jia shook his head quickly when he heard this, stepped forward and took his hand, anxiously saying, “Brother, don’t be angry, what do you say we should do? I’ll listen to you.”

Zeng Xing smiled, “That’s more like it, right? Let’s go to the Town Health Center now to get the money back from Xi Yang!”

Xu Jia said, “Go at this time?”

“Yes!”

“The teacher hasn’t finished checking the dormitories yet. The teacher has been checking strictly these past few days, and doesn’t allow anyone to go out at all!” Xu Jia said.

“It’s okay, in a while you pretend to have a stomachache and ask the teacher for leave!” Zeng Xing said confidently.

Xu Jia nodded when he heard this.

The two of them successfully came out of the school and quickly arrived at the Town Health Center. They searched around the hospital ward, but Xi Yang’s shadow was nowhere to be found.

The two of them learned from the nurse at the hospital that Xi Yang had already gone home. Zeng Xing was so angry that he cursed loudly, and had no choice but to return to school.

After separating from Xu Jia, Zeng Xing quietly called Zeng Xuancheng. “Uncle Zeng, that kid went home?”

Zeng Xuancheng sat in the office, smoking a cigarette and said, “Forget it! Just treat it as medical expenses! You should rest early!”

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Xuancheng shook his head, playing with the recording pen in his hand, and muttered, “Dare to take my money, when your parents come back, give me double the amount back!”

Late at night, Xi Yang was cultivating in his room.

He felt that his legs were already numb, but he still couldn’t sense any Spiritual Energy. Cultivation is divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Hunyuan, Three Souls, Spirit Fusion, and Mahayana. Now, this body has excellent bones, but unfortunately it is malnourished, the Primordial Qi is too weak, and the Spiritual Energy between this Heaven and Earth is too thin, so it is normal to not be able to sense it.

What he cultivates is the Reincarnation Sutra. This Cultivation Method was created by the Reincarnation Great Emperor, and it was also by relying on this Cultivation Method that he was able to return from the Netherworld Road.

After thinking for a moment, Xi Yang pointed a finger at the space between his eyebrows, and an ancient lamp of black and white chaos flew out, a chaotic flame swaying constantly on the ancient lamp.

Looking at this lamp, Xi Yang secretly made up his mind, tightly grasped the Reincarnation Lamp with both hands, and bit the tip of his tongue.

Then, a mouthful of blood was sprayed on the Reincarnation Lamp. In an instant, the Reincarnation Lamp flashed with red light, turned into a ball of Chaos Flame, and quickly flew into Xi Yang’s Dantian.

Feeling the Reincarnation Lamp in his Dantian, Xi Yang couldn’t help but smile bitterly. There was no other way. In this world, it was simply unrealistic to want to achieve success in cultivation. The Spiritual Energy was too thin, and even sensing Spiritual Power was very difficult, let alone guiding Qi into the body.

The Reincarnation Sutra has extremely harsh requirements for Spiritual Power. Ordinary Cultivation Methods only need to absorb a wisp of pure Spiritual Energy to guide Qi into the body, but this Cultivation Method requires ten wisps.

In this way, he had to find another way. After all, he was an Immortal who had cultivated for hundreds of years, and he had already experienced countless times of re-cultivation. The only Magical Artifact he could use was the Reincarnation Lamp. The origin of this lamp was mysterious, and he thought it would definitely be useful for his cultivation. Therefore, there was the scene just now.

As the Reincarnation Lamp entered the Dantian, the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth turned into gusts of breeze and gathered continuously. Not only the Primordial Qi between Heaven and Earth, but also the vitality Spiritual Energy of plants and trees; the heavy Spiritual Energy of the earth; the Water Spiritual Energy between the ditches and streams; the trace of Fire Spiritual Energy emitted from the earth’s core; and the Gold Spiritual Energy in the metal all poured into the Reincarnation Lamp, and then transformed into the Reincarnation Spiritual Power in Xi Yang’s Dantian.

After cultivating for three consecutive days, he finally condensed ten wisps of Spiritual Energy and circulated these ten wisps of Spiritual Energy in the major Meridians of his body. Soon, he successfully circulated a small Zhou Tian. The injury on his head also scabbed and recovered quickly under the nourishment of this Spiritual Power. His whole body was covered with a thick layer of dirt, and a foul stench permeated the room.

In the early morning, Xi Yang opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face. After cultivating for four days, he finally reached Qi Refining Stage 1 with the help of the Reincarnation Lamp. It was not in vain for his hard cultivation.

He got up, took off the gauze that had been wrapped for several days, and Xi Yang also tore off the stitches on his head. The wound on his head had completely healed, and with a sweep of Spiritual Power, no scars were left. Then Xi Yang ran to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went out. Today, he had to go to the market to buy some food. Now that he had achieved success in cultivation, he had to catch up with his life.

Walking on the path to the market, feeling the breeze blowing on his face, Xi Yang’s mood was particularly comfortable.

On the way, the villagers who went out to work were quite surprised to see Xi Yang, and their eyes were strange, but they didn’t say anything? Xi Yang greeted them and came to the market.

Looking at the bustling market, Xi Yang took out two hundred Dragon Country Currency bills from his pocket, and his good mood fell to the bottom again. He only had these two hundred Dragon Country Currency left. How would he live in the future!

Shaking his head, Xi Yang bought some meat in the market. Looking at the fresh fruit on the street, he touched his pocket, and only had twenty Dragon Country Currency left. Thinking that he still had to live in the future, he had no choice but to put the twenty Dragon Country Currency back in his pocket.

Just as Xi Yang was carrying the ingredients and preparing to go home, a familiar voice sounded behind him, “Xi Yang, Xi Yang, wait a minute!”

Hearing the voice, Xi Yang turned around and saw Teacher Wenrou wearing a long dress, running to him, panting and saying, “Xi Yang, what are you doing? Didn’t I tell you to stay in the hospital for a few days? You didn’t even ask me for leave when you went home! Have you forgotten that you are a student?”

Xi Yang looked at Teacher Wenrou with a resentful face, and scratched his head awkwardly. Don’t mention it, he really forgot. Hearing her say this, Xi Yang recalled that he was still a student and had to ask for leave when he went home! Thinking of this, he said with a wry smile, “Teacher Wenrou, I was too badly injured these days and was confused, please forgive me!”

Teacher Wenrou heard this and glanced at Xi Yang, her face suddenly turned angry. She happened to be a head taller than Xi Yang, and saw that there were no wounds on his head. She was so angry that she grabbed Xi Yang’s ear, “Confused, look at your head, there are no wounds there, you don’t even make a draft when you lie! You’re fine, but you don’t go back to school to attend classes? There are only three months left before the High School Entrance Exam, you don’t want to go to high school and college, do you!”

Saying that, she grabbed Xi Yang’s ear and prepared to rush to the school.

Xi Yang was caught off guard for a moment, and his ear was twisted by the other party, and he was too embarrassed to knock her hand off. He had no choice but to beg for mercy while saying, “Teacher, don’t, there are so many people here, it’s not good for your image to do this!”

Hearing this, she immediately let go of her hand and looked around in horror, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Seeing that the other party let go, Xi Yang immediately distanced himself from her to prevent the other party from attacking him again.

He said, “Teacher Wenrou, let’s discuss it, okay? You came so suddenly, I still have a pressure cooker burning at home, I have to go back and turn it off. I will definitely return to school on time this afternoon!” He had to find an excuse to go home first, he hadn’t processed the meat in his hand yet! That was a good one hundred and eighty Dragon Country Currency!

Teacher Wenrou realized that she had lost her composure and sighed, “Okay! Go back to school for class this afternoon. If you don’t come! I’ll contact your parents! Let them come back and deal with you!”

Xi Yang nodded like a chicken pecking rice when he heard this, “Okay, I will definitely return to school this afternoon.”

After saying that, Xi Yang ran back home in a puff of smoke.
