Chapter Sixteen: Rong Yang (First Part)

  Piao Yu Castle, behind the Easy Family Mountain.

  In the Xuanhuo Cave, Yi Chi was carelessly looking around, while Yi Yun and the elderly Taishang Elder were exchanging words.

  "Grandfather, are you saying that Chi'er ate the Zi Luo Dan and randomly replaced his body, repairing his Jiu Lou body?" Yi Yun said with a serious face.

  However, the person opposite him was not respectful of Yi Yun at all. One hand was on his waist, while the other was busy with something else.

  Yi Chi happened to see that Lima had turned his head.

  "That damned old man is actually digging his nose so happily." Yi Chi had an untrustworthy look on her face.

  Anyone who saw the old man change from a dignified appearance to an undignified one in an instant would understand Yi Chi's current mood, especially since Yi Chi was previously very afraid of him and now feels embarrassed just thinking about it.

  "I'm asking you, Grandpa, can you hear me talking?" Yi Yun covered his face with one hand and looked at the old man with a gloomy expression.

  "I heard you, can't you see I'm busy? Wait a minute." Still picking his nose.

  A huge drop of sweat rolled down from Yi Yun's forehead...

  "Grandpa!!!!!"

  Suddenly, Yi Yun was almost shouting.

  Even Yi Chi, who was ten meters away, felt a slight ringing in his ears, which showed just how loud the sound was.

  "Father's voice is really loud!" Yi Chi thought while patting his slightly ringing ears.

  "Bang!"

  "Ah~"

  Yi Chi turned his head to see an old man covering his right ear with one hand, using his left hand to hit Yi Yun's head, while Yi Yun was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.

  "Is... is this true?" Yi Chi's face contorted in disgust as if he had eaten rat feces.

  "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything..." Yi Chi really didn't want to be beaten by his old man. If he let Yi Yun know that he saw him in such an embarrassing state, it would be strange if he wasn't beaten up.

  "You stinky little brat, think I'm deaf or something? So loud! You want to die?" The old man angrily pounded.

  "Grandfather, stop hitting, stop hitting, Chi is still on the side!" Yi Yun said in a low voice, afraid that Yi Chi would hear, and secretly glanced at Yi Chi. Seeing that he didn't look this way, she felt relieved immediately. Poor thing, actually Yi Chi had already seen it.

  "Hmph, let's see if you dare to be so loud again in the future." The old man, still fuming, gave another knock before finally letting off Yi Yun, who was already covered in bandages.

  "Yes, yes, yes, son will never dare again." Yi Yun forced a smile.

  "Ouch, it really hurts! Grandpa's still as ruthless as ever, I'm going to be knocked silly." Yiyun thought to himself while rubbing his head.

  "Grandpa, I'm fine now. You rest and I'll take Chi'er out for a bit." Afraid that his grandpa would scold him some more, Yi Yun didn't dare ask any questions and hastily left in a hurry.

  "All right, go on, and also pass that 'Rong Yang' to that kid as well." The old man felt it was a bit too much to scold his own grandson in front of the younger generation, so he let Yi Yun and Yi Chi off.

  Now, Yi Chi was delighted, listening to the old man's words, that "Rong Yang" was probably that mysterious middle-grade secret book.

  "Yes, grandson is leaving." Yi Yun hastily pulled Yi Chi and ran out, almost causing Yi Chi to trip.

  "It's just a beating, what's there to be so afraid of?" Yi Chi scorned his own father, but of course, he didn't dare say it out loud.

  Two people ran out of Xuanhuo Cave, and Yiyun didn't waste any words. He immediately picked up Yichi and flew towards his own Yunyu Courtyard.

  ......

  Only when he knew that Fei had flown to Yunyu Courtyard did Yi Yun relax.

  "Alas."

  It turned out that Yi Yun relaxed and completely forgot that he was still holding a Yi Chi in his hand, let go of it, and unfortunately, the Yi Chi came down with a free fall of 3.5 weeks, but unfortunately, it landed on its butt first.

  "Ugh... Dad, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Yi Chi looked at Yi Yun with a disbelieving face, while Yi Yun looked embarrassed.

  "Ah, mistake, absolute mistake, not intentional. Come, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll send you 'Rong Yang' first." Yi Yun today can be said to have completely lost his usual dignified image, now having to rely on changing the subject to cover up his own embarrassment.

  As expected——

  Yi Chi immediately got up and walked to Yi Yun's side as soon as he heard that he was going to pass on his own mid-grade Xuan-level secret manual, without caring whether his father had intentionally let him fall or not.

  "Come with me." Yi Yun composed himself, trying to regain some of his dignity. However, upon seeing the faintly smiling expression on his young son's face, he couldn't help but lose all sense of authority.

  "This kid, I'll fix you another day." Yi Yun felt indignant and unable to accept that the dignified image he had built up over decades was shattered in just half a day.

  As for the ultimate culprit, even if Yi Yun had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to mess with his own grandfather.

  Yi Chi, who had been planning to tidy up his own father, followed Yi Yun into the study with a smile on his face.

  Yi Yun walked in front of the bookshelf in the study, took out a dark red book from the middle, and threw it to Yi Chi.

  "Hurry up and remember, just remember it here, and then put it back." Yi Yun's face was calm, not even looking at the surprised expression of Yi Chi, turned around and walked out of the study room, closing the door behind him.

  Yi Chi's current mood can't be said to be not depressed. Originally, he thought his old man was going to take him to a secret room or something to retrieve a secret book. Just as Yi Yun walked in front of the bookshelf, Yi Chi was still guessing which book on the shelf was the mechanism, when Yi Yun took the book that is now in his hand and threw it at him. The casual manner, seemed like he was throwing over a copper coin.

  "Ah, indeed, the thoughts of people from other worlds are different from those of us Earthlings!" After once again marveling at the thoughts of people from other worlds, Yi Chi sat down in a humble and honest manner, opening up the supposedly mid-grade Xuan-level fire attribute secret manual "Rong Yang".

  As he slowly watched, Yi Chi was gradually drawn in.

  "Wow!"

  Zheng put down the book in his hand and rubbed his swollen head.

  "It's indeed a rare and precious manual of the Mystic Level! It's far beyond my current understanding, just the chapter on combat alone has half of it that I don't comprehend. It seems this is indeed the real deal. However, Father's hiding place for this book... uh, I really can't compliment it."

  Yi Chi still hasn't forgotten the blow Yi Yun brought upon him.

  "Squeak~~"

  Yi Yun pushed open the door and saw Yi Chi sitting there without reading a book, which made him feel somewhat surprised.

  "What's wrong? Hurry up and look, it's almost time for lunch."

  "Huh? What are you looking at?! I've already seen it all." Yi Chi had an expression that said 'you're underestimating me'.

  Yi Yun was shocked again this time.

  "This is less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and you've already finished reading? And you remember everything?" Yi Yun looked at Yi Chi with a skeptical face. To think that he himself had read it over a dozen times, spending more than two hours before barely memorizing it. If Yi Chi really did finish reading and remembering in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, then the gap was just too big.

  "It's just one book, after all."

  "Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask. If you have any questions in the future, come find me, okay? Now go back." Yi Yun's face turned black as he spoke, clearly having been struck a blow.

  "Oh, I'm leaving then, Father. I'll come visit you again next time." Yi Chi stood up and bid farewell to Yi Yun before walking out.

  "Alas, I'm old! Can't compare with young people anymore." Yi Yun gazed at the receding back of Yi Chi, deeply affected.

  ......

  Yi Chi hastily walked into his room in Jinghe Yard, closed the door, and sat down on the bed with his legs crossed.

  He can't wait anymore.

  Silently recalling the already deeply memorized "Rong Yang" Dou Zhe chapter's movement path.

  The attributeless Dou Qi that had been quietly waiting in the Easy Pool Dan Tian began to run along the route.

  The first circle, transparent and attributeless Dou Qi turned pink.

  The second ring, red.

  Knowing that he had run into the third circle, the robust Dou Qi in Yi Chi's body, which had grown by half, had turned into a fiery red fire attribute Dou Qi.

  ......

  After nine cycles of cultivation, he completed a major cycle of the Heavenly Circuit and opened his eyes. Two flashes of firelight flickered in his eyes.

  "It's indeed worthy of being a top-grade Xuan-level martial art, one major cycle and my Qi has increased by two-fold." Yi Chi felt the surge of his now doubled Qi.

  After transforming into a fire attribute, his aura became more explosive and at the same time, it was also more difficult to control. Of course, this couldn't stump Yī Chí, he just needed to expend more mental energy to control it.

  "Don't be too pleased, the increase is mostly because your original Qi was very little to begin with. The amount of Qi in your entire body can only support a few more moves at most." Yī Táng ran out and struck again.

  "Hehe, I know, it's not my first time anyway." Yi Chi didn't mind either, and it wasn't the first time Yi Tang had struck him.

  "Hmm, fine. You now have the martial arts manual too. With your over 10,000 energy points, you can exchange for either one Xuan-level low-grade martial skill or three Huang-level mid-grade martial skills. Choose."

  Yi Chi also knew that his energy points were insufficient, and he couldn't exchange them for high-level fighting skills. Besides, even if someone gave him a Heaven-grade fighting skill now, he wouldn't be able to use it; not to mention Heaven-grade, he couldn't even handle Earth-grade ones.

  Yi Chi never thought that over 10,000 energy points could be exchanged for a Xuan-level martial skill. To think that even a low-grade Xuan-level martial skill can sell for tens of millions of gold coins.

  "Yi Tang, can over a million energy points be exchanged for a Xuan-level Dou Technique? Isn't that too cheap?" Yi Chi asked doubtfully.

  "What do you think? Let me tell you, even if it's another low-grade martial skill, the starting price would be 3 million energy points. This one is relatively special, so it's cheaper." Yi Tang's tone was still as arrogant as ever, but Yi Chi had already gotten used to it. This guy was just a bit full of himself, but other than that, he didn't have any major issues. In fact, this guy actually cared about Yi Chi quite a bit, or else he wouldn't be taking the initiative to help Yi Chi find some good stuff.
