The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 7

Ch 7: Liu Jiazhou

After leaving school, Xi Yang headed towards Niubeidong, not far away. This mountain was not very tall, but it held many beautiful memories of the original owner. It was only two or three li away from the school, and it only took half an hour to get from the foot of the mountain to the top. On weekdays, the school teachers often organized the senior year 3 students to climb the mountain to exercise.

Reaching the top of Niubeidong, Xi Yang found a flat boulder to sit on, crossed his legs, and began to cultivate. Here, the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth was obviously richer than in other places, which made the Reincarnation Lamp convert Spiritual Energy faster.

The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and the sky turned white, a round red sun slowly rose. A stream of Purple Qi from the east was absorbed into his body. After being converted by the Reincarnation Lamp, this Purple Qi condensed into three strands of pure Spiritual Energy. After cultivating for an entire night, Xi Yang successfully condensed ten strands of Spiritual Energy. The twenty strands of Spiritual Energy in his body flowed like a cheerful stream, sweeping away the fatigue from being awake all night.

After refining the last trace of Purple Qi, Xi Yang stood up and looked at the rising sun. The warm light shone on his body, and a long-lost feeling surged into his heart, as if time had stopped. At this moment, he felt himself merging with nature, and his mood was particularly peaceful.

He patted the dew off his body and stretched his arms and legs. Thinking about it, some early-rising students were probably already halfway up the mountain at this point. This was the habit of some sports enthusiasts every morning. The original owner of this body had also climbed it a few times, but his physical fitness was too poor to persevere.

Before long, a figure appeared on the top of the mountain. The person was a student in sportswear, about 1.6 meters tall, with arms and legs full of muscle, looking very strong.

After reaching the top of the mountain, he looked at Xi Yang in surprise. He was usually the first to climb to the top of the mountain, but today someone had arrived earlier than him.

He looked at Xi Yang curiously and asked, “Are you also a student of Xizhao Middle School?”

Xi Yang answered with a smile, “Yes, I’m Xi Yang from Senior Year 3 Class 2.”

“Oh, so it’s you, I know you! I’m Liu Jiazhou from Senior Year 3 Class 4, nice to meet you!” Saying that, Liu Jiazhou enthusiastically extended his hand. In his eyes, someone who could climb this mountain earlier than him must be a very disciplined person, and such a person was qualified to be his friend.

Seeing this, Xi Yang also smiled, reached out his hand, and shook it with his. “Nice to meet you too!”

Liu Jiazhou said with a smile, “I heard you were almost beaten to death a few days ago? But judging from your current state, this is obviously just a rumor.”

“Not a rumor, but a fact! But it was precisely this encounter that made me realize that one can’t be too cowardly!” Xi Yang said calmly.

“That makes sense! It’s getting late, let’s go down the mountain! I’ll treat you to breakfast today!” Liu Jiazhou said quite generously.

Xi Yang shook his head, “It’s okay! I’ll just go to the cafeteria to eat something!”

Liu Jiazhou laughed, “I don’t know what your family situation is like? The food in the cafeteria is not much different from pig feed, and climbing mountains is very physically demanding! How can you do without eating something good?”

Looking at the sincere Liu Jiazhou, Xi Yang nodded. The jerky he had prepared was almost finished last night, and he had no idea what he would eat today!

Liu Jiazhou smiled, “Okay, we’ll meet at the breakfast shop at the school gate! Let’s see who gets there first!”

“Okay!” Xi Yang replied.

Looking at his energetic appearance, Xi Yang’s heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, also ignited!

After Liu Jiazhou finished speaking, he turned and ran down the mountain. He was very fast, after all, he climbed mountains all year round, and his family conditions were very good, so his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary students.

Soon, Liu Jiazhou rushed down the mountain. Leaving those classmates who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain looking at each other in dismay. In the past, he would wait for them to climb up the mountain before coming down, but today he came down so quickly.

Liu Jiazhou used his full speed, and after going down the mountain, he quickly ran towards the breakfast shop. He looked back from time to time, and when he didn’t see Xi Yang’s figure, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. Earlier than me, but not as fast as me! Hmph!

He ran to the breakfast shop with great confidence, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the shop Innkeeper, “Innkeeper, give me four meat buns, two bowls of soy milk, and two fried dough sticks!”

The breakfast shop Innkeeper was a man in his forties, with a scarf around his neck and a mask on his face. Hearing his words, he said with a smile, “You want to treat someone to breakfast today!”

Liu Jiazhou nodded, “A new friend, he’ll be here in a while!”

As he spoke, he looked into the shop and saw Xi Yang looking at him with a smile!

He was stunned in place, what was going on! I didn’t stop on the way, I ran here at full speed, how could he have arrived before me?

Then he came to Xi Yang, pinched his face, and asked in disbelief, “How did you get down here? I didn’t even see you!”

The shop Innkeeper, who was walking over with buns, said, “He arrived five minutes earlier than you!”

Liu Jiazhou was shocked. Although it wasn’t far from the top of the mountain to here, it was still more than ten li. It took him twenty minutes, which was already very fast. He didn’t expect this guy to arrive in only fifteen minutes. What a monster! The scariest thing was that this guy’s face wasn’t red, his heart wasn’t pounding, and there wasn’t a trace of sweat on his body! He would have believed it if you told him he came down in a low-altitude plane!

Xi Yang took a pair of chopsticks for him on the table and said with a smile, “I walked down! Just a little faster than you! Nothing to be surprised about!” Could he say that he had already slowed down? If he went down the mountain at full speed, this little distance would only take five minutes!

Liu Jiazhou took the chopsticks that Xi Yang handed him and said, “Your speed really makes me look up to… look up to…”

Xi Yang smiled, “Beyond reach, it’s nothing, thank you for the breakfast!” He picked up a bun and ate it.

Liu Jiazhou nodded, “That’s right, beyond reach! Tomorrow we’ll compete again, who gets to the top of the mountain first! Who gets down the mountain first!”

Xi Yang looked up at him and didn’t say anything. I’m on the mountain at night, you want to compete with me in climbing, isn’t that too much of a bully!

Liu Jiazhou asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Do you look down on my physique?”

Could he say that he didn’t take him seriously at all? He couldn’t! He just treated himself to breakfast! Thinking of this, Xi Yang ate the bun in his hand in one bite, and then said, “Okay! It’s getting late! I’m going back to school first!”

Liu Jiazhou nodded.

Back at the school dormitory, Han Cheng came to Xi Yang with an angry face.

“Xi Yang, this is bad, last night your suitcase was destroyed by Zeng Xing and those Rats, and the things inside are all unusable!” Han Cheng said with an angry face.

Xi Yang came to his berth and saw that his suitcase was scratched beyond recognition. The clothes in the suitcase were also taken out and cut beyond recognition. The toothpaste, washing powder, towels, and other things inside were also thrown away!

He sighed, and was also amused by Zeng Xing and these few reckless youths. Knowing that they were not his opponents, they still dared to make him uncomfortable!

Xi Yang sat quietly on the edge of Han Cheng’s bed. He was very depressed. He only had twenty yuan left in his pocket, which was not enough for food. Now he had to buy daily necessities, which made Xi Yang a little crazy.

After a while, Homeroom Teacher Wen Rou walked over quickly. Seeing this scene, she asked, “Xi Yang, what’s going on? How did it get like this!”

Han Cheng on the side said, “Teacher, it was Zeng Xing and the others who came to our dormitory while we were doing morning exercises and ruined Xi Yang’s things!”

Wen Rou frowned upon hearing this. It hadn’t been long since the last incident, and this had happened again. Of course, she knew how difficult Zeng Xing was. Last time, his uncle, who was the Chief of the Police Station, personally went to the school to communicate with the Principal and asked him to handle it himself! Otherwise, the last incident would not have let Zeng Xing off so easily. Now this matter was really tricky!

After a moment of silence, she walked towards the Teacher’s Office.
