28: Twenty-sixth Chapter: The Unexpected Incident 28: Twenty-sixth Chapter: The Unexpected Incident Elders beating the younger generation was sothing Xu Yuan had already grown accustod to.
It was in his nature, and since he naturally loved to have fun, in his past life, he was virtually brought up from childhood to adulthood under the old man’s frequent beatings.
In elentary and middle school, he loved to cause trouble and fight; in high school, he fell in early love and had the girl’s family knocking on his door; in university, he fell in love with wilderness travel, disappearing for more than a month at a ti, with the school seeing neither hide nor hair of him.
Each ti the old man caught wind of these things, it ant a severe thrashing for him.
Over ti, Xu Yuan grew used to it.
He could not confront the problems, but couldn’t he still avoid them?
The world was so vast – if he couldn’t resist, couldn’t he still run away?
Anyway, no matter what, they were still father and son, and once the old man’s anger subsided, a few nice words, a firm attitude in admitting his mistakes, and the resumption of his allowance ant he could continue to play as he pleased.
But in this world now, Xu Yuan found he couldn’t run even if he wanted to.
This so-called elder brother could literally hang him up and beat him.
Literally,
hang him up and beat him.
The kind of ‘hang up and beat’ where he couldn’t even get a word out.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, a clear eagle’s cry suddenly rang in Xu Yuan’s ears.
Snapping back to reality, Xu Yuan looked around the unfamiliar chamber he was in and shook his head slightly.
After being knocked unconscious by the beating, the first thing he saw when he woke up was this room.
A light incense perated the room, which was decorated in an ancient and simplistic style.
Looking out through the wooden window by the bed,
Xu Yuan saw an endless expanse of blue sky.
And,
a pair of giant eagle wings, each span stretching over ten zhang.
Two days had passed since the beating, and he was currently seated on the “airplane” heading back to Jingjiang City.
Unlike the steel beasts of his previous world, this “airplane” was a living creature, a giant Black Eagle with a wingspan of over twenty zhang, and its broad back was fitted out with an ornate and luxurious pavilion.
It was Xu Changge’s aerial palace, but since Xu Yuan was too weak, it was temporarily lent to him, the youngest brother.
As for Xu Changge himself…
That elder brother was busy with many matters.
After hanging and whipping him, he waited until he woke up and then took off with the two giant python heads imdiately.
Xu Yuan guessed he was probably rushing back to the Imperial Capital to report back to their foster father.
To save him, Xu Changge had already spent too much ti in the Wanxing Mountain Range, and at this critical mont, he had to return to support their father.
With this in mind, the image of the two giant python heads flashed in Xu Yuan’s mind, and his expression slowly turned odd.
He thought of Ji Fenghua, who had her head severed by Xu Changge.
Ji Fenghua, a character with a beautifully drawn green-haired big sister.
A very large and very pale big sister.
However, Xu Yuan was more puzzled by his elder brother’s strength than by the death of another two-dinsional wife.
As a seven-lotus stage Mature Seven-Life Mang, Ji Fenghua had blossod seven blood lotuses decades ago; she was indeed very strong, much stronger than Ji Qingyue, the second princess of the Serpent Monster Clan, by several levels.
But such a character actually t her end at Xu Changge’s hands.
It wasn’t that Xu Yuan doubted Xu Changge’s strength, but because in the many worldlines of “Cangyuan Chronicles,” Ji Fenghua had clashed with Xu Changge once.
In the late stage of that worldline, exotic demons from the west crossed the ten thousand mountains of Wanxing Mountain Range and invaded the Dayan Empire.
Outside Jingjiang City, Xu Changge and Ji Fenghua fought fiercely.
And in that battle,
with no interference, Xu Changge lost by a narrow margin.
The severely injured Ji Fenghua transford into a towering python and was swallowed whole, dying without a trace.
To the discerning eye, at that ti the gap in strength between Xu Changge and Ji Fenghua was negligible, even to the point where a single thought could determine the outco of the battle.
But the reality now was,
Xu Changge went straight to Ji Fenghua’s old ho and chopped off her head.
Considering environntal factors, considering the almost unscathed state Xu Changge was in when he returned earlier, and considering that there were still other mbers of the Demon Race watching in the Ancient Abyss, Xu Changge’s strength must be overwhelmingly superior to Ji Fenghua’s at this mont.
This was a complete deviation from the plot, and the obvious discrepancy in combat strength that didn’t match the original storyline made Xu Yuan feel sowhat uneasy.
In less than ten years, and given that Ji Fenghua didn’t have the player’s leveling cheat, she couldn’t possibly have grown so strong so quickly.
Moreover, Xu Changge was also a true genius.
If Ji Fenghua could beco stronger, so naturally could Xu Changge.
Special events like fortuitous encounters could narrow the gap in their strengths, but it would be impossible for them to beco equal.
In other words…
Xu Yuan’s train of thought montarily stalled as a sowhat unrealistic idea surfaced in his mind.
In the ti since the plot unfolded and the Ancient Abyss invaded the Dayan Empire…
Had his elder brother’s strength not only failed to grow but actually diminished?
Why?
Xu Yuan couldn’t understand.
In “Cangyuan Chronicles,” there were many things that even players with a god’s eye view didn’t know.
For instance, how Ran Qingmo, who had just parted ways with Xu Yuan, knew that the Pri Minister planned to destroy the Tianyuan Sword Sect was completely beyond Xu Yuan.
After all, at this point in the plot, only Xu Yuan’s cheap father and a few of his trusted subordinates knew about it.
While playing “Cangyuan Chronicles,” Xu Yuan initially speculated that there was a traitor among the Pri Minister’s subordinates, since there were only a few who knew about it at that ti.
However, as he unlocked all the endings in the ga, none of the Pri Minister’s few trusted experts were ever exonerated.
Each and every one of them was loyal to the BOSS until the end.
The production team dug holes and didn’t fill them in, euphemistically claiming: they left space for the players to imagine.
Xu Yuan let out a slight sigh.
Without sufficient information, all conjecture was in vain; he would have to find an opportunity to investigate later on.
Not allowing his thoughts to stray further on this matter, Xu Yuan slowly shifted his gaze to his bedside.
Before leaving, his elder brother nonchalantly gave him over a dozen bottles of Elixir dicine.
They were supposedly for healing the wounds of soone as useless as him.
Telling him to heal up quickly so that Father wouldn’t bla him for being too harsh.
Unlike the three supre-quality Elixir dicines found in the cave, each in a jade bottle of their own, these jade bottles each contained over a dozen pills.
The Qingling Pill, which accelerates the recovery of Will-spirit and enhances the ability to sense Origin Qi for a period afterward.
The Guangling Pill, which strengthens the resilience of the ridians and is a divine dicine for consolidating the foundation and nurturing the origin.
The Humaí Pill, after taking it, produces a thin film inside the ridians, allowing the user to circulate their Cultivation Technique for twelve hours continuously without worrying about ridian damage.
The Dishun Pill, as its na suggests, can refine the Will-spirit.
Um…
healing injuries, my big brother said these were for healing his injuries…
these Elixir dicines can indeed heal injuries, huh~
To say these Elixir dicines are divine aids for those just starting cultivation wouldn’t be an exaggeration—they virtually cover all sorts of issues one might encounter during cultivation.
What’s more important is,
These Elixir dicines have no side effects.
In the alchemy system of “Cangyuan Chronicles,” most of the Elixir dicines that help with cultivation leave so permanent debuffs after consumption.
Such as weakened Will-spirit (reduced mana bar), damaged ridians (increased experience needed for leveling up), and even so Elixir dicines used for breaking through barriers can have irreversible effects on the organs (reducing maximum health).
Side effect-free Elixir dicines only occur in one scenario,
The materials required to refine them are worth far more than the Elixir dicines themselves.
In other words, it’s like using valuable materials from the middle and late stages of the ga to make sothing needed in the early stages.
Staring silently at the over dozen jade bottles for a long ti, Xu Yuan suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to get beaten up again.
Then he gave a wry laugh and shook his head.
Although his big brother was indeed rough when hitting people, he was also truly generous with good items.
