Chapter Eleven: White Jade Turtle

  "Let's go, let's go back." Since the little demon had already left, Xiao Fan and the others didn't want to stay in the tavern anymore. So they all left together, as for the bill, it was directly waived, which made Xiao Fan sigh with emotion, being a noble was indeed not bad, even eating out didn't cost money.

  "Let's part ways here." Xiao Fan turned his head and said to Tang Long and Shen Xiang Rou after leaving the wine building.

  "Alright, I'll go find you to play again after a while." Tang Pangzi nodded readily and left directly because the two houses were far apart and not on the same road.

  After Tang Long left, Xiao Fan looked at Shen Xiang Ruo and handed her the contract of her sale, saying: "Miss Shen, this is your contract of sale. Now you are free, let's part ways here."

  Xiang Ruo took over the contract, her expression filled with excitement. With the contract in hand, she had finally regained her freedom. However, when she heard Xiao Fan telling her to leave, she suddenly froze.

  "Leave, where can I go..." Shen Xiang Ruo thought of her own home, far away from Tian Cheng, but it was already destroyed and her family was gone, how could she return?

  "Sir, this humble girl has lost her family and home, with nowhere to go. I beg of you, sir, to take me in, as a servant or maid, to repay the kindness you have shown me." Shen Xiangru knelt down, her tearful eyes looking up at Xiao Fan.

  "Please, young master, take us in." The little maid Green also said, kneeling.

  Xiao Fan heard this and was slightly stunned, then helped the two women up and said in a soft voice: "If I were to make you slaves or maids, what would be the difference between me and the Wan Hua Lou? So, let's not mention being slaves or maids again; go find your relatives and from now on you can live a more comfortable life."

  "It's all over. Since our family was torn apart, all our relatives and friends can't wait to cut off all ties with us. We have no home to return to, so we beg of you, young master, to take us in. Otherwise, how can two weak women like us survive in this world?" Shen Xiang Ruo said.

  Xiao Fan was slightly stunned after hearing this, Shen Xiang Ruo's words were right, this world was no longer the one she used to know. In this world, the strong preyed on the weak, and laws had lost their effectiveness in restraining the powerful; because if they let these two weak women go out alone, their fate would likely be extremely tragic.

  "Alright, since that's the case, you can come home with me first. However, don't mention anything about being slaves or servants again. In my household, you are honored guests and can stay as long as you want, and you can leave at any time."

  "Thank you, young master." The two women were overjoyed upon hearing this.

  "Let's go." Xiao Fan smiled and took the two women back to the city lord's mansion. Although his true spirit had only been in this world for three months, after accepting the memories of this body, he was very clear about everything.

  All the way, Xiao Fan didn't chat with Shen Xiangrou, but thought to himself: I've been in this world for three months and have almost understood it. Next, I should focus on cultivating myself so that I can stand firm in this world.

  The cultivation of this body is very low, now it's almost an adult, only with a three-layered physique refinement, which is really pitifully low.

  A moment later, Xiao Fan took Shen Xiang back to the City Master's Mansion.

  "Young master, you're back." As soon as he entered the city lord's manor, Housekeeper Fu had been waiting for a long time.

  Xiao Fan smiled and nodded politely, saying: "Fu Bo, I'm back. These two young ladies are my friends and will be living with us from now on. Would you please arrange for them to have a separate small courtyard and also assign two maids to take care of them?"

  "Yes, please be assured, young master. I will take care of everything." Seeing Xiao Fan being so polite to him, Fu Bo's face was filled with a genuine smile. In the past, Xiao Fan had always put on an air of arrogance as a young master in the mansion, and even towards Fu Bo, who was one of the oldest servants in the mansion, he didn't have a very good attitude. However, over the past three months, Xiao Fan had changed his ways and became polite to everyone; feeling this change in Xiao Fan, Fu Bo, as an elder, was also happy for him.

  "Alright." Xiao Fan turned his head and looked at Shen Xiang Rou, saying softly: "Miss Shen can rest assured to stay in the mansion, if there's anything you need, just find Fu Bo."

  "Thank you, young master." Shen Xiang Rou replied.

  "Alright, I'll go first." Xiao Fan smiled faintly and headed directly to his own courtyard.

  "Please follow me, young ladies. From now on, no matter what happens, you can come to find me." The housekeeper led the two girls away.

  Xiao Fang had just stepped into his own courtyard when a white shadow flashed by, and a palm-sized white jade turtle jumped onto Xiao Fang's shoulder.

  "Xiao Xiao Zi, how is it? This world is quite interesting, haha." Suddenly, the white jade turtle opened its eyes, which were as small as green beans, and surprisingly spoke.

  If someone else had seen this scene, they would have definitely exclaimed "demon beast". In the vast wilderness of the world, only demon beasts that had cultivated to a certain level could speak. However, ordinary demon beasts usually hid in deep mountains and blessed lands, and wouldn't easily appear in the human world.

  "Lao Bai, you've been sneaking a drink again." Xiao Fan's nose twitched slightly, and he caught the scent of liquor wafting from his shoulder, immediately understanding that this white jade turtle had snuck off to have a drink.

  "Haha, Xiao Qiao, you ran outside to drink flower wine, but didn't bring me along, so I can only drink and enjoy by myself."

  The voice of Bai Yu Wu Gui came over with a slightly drunken tone.

  "By the way, you little rascal, have you been out causing trouble and flirting with girls?" White Jade Turtle's tone suddenly turned lewd.

  All that can be seen is its small eyes squeezed like green beans, mouth open, and a thread of saliva dripping down, just like a lewd man.

  "I really don't know how I ended up with you in this world." Looking at the lewd appearance of Bai Yu Wu Gui, Xiao Fan was speechless.

  "You stinky little brat, if it weren't for this old turtle, you would have been done for a long time ago. How did you even manage to come into this world?" The White Jade Turtle stood on Xiao Fan's shoulder, jumping up and down in extreme anger.

  Xiao Fan's face showed a gentle smile, he and the White Jade Turtle came to this world together. It can be said that in this world, Xiao Fan and the White Jade Turtle are the most familiar and trustworthy friends.

  Xiao Fan's arrival in this world was not accidental, but was brought by the White Jade Turtle. Of course, this is just what Old White said, as for what the real situation is, Xiao Fan did not know.

  Xiao Fan only remembered that at the time, he was waiting for the red light to change when he saw a little girl in danger, so he rushed over and pushed her away, but he didn't have time to get out of the way himself and was hit by a car. However, he vaguely recalled seeing a flash of white light at that moment, after which everything went black.

  "Right, have you found out why I couldn't cultivate?" Xiao Fan asked Bai Yu Wu Gui.

  Three months after arriving in this world, Xiao Fan was still very dissatisfied with the cultivation of this body, which only had three layers of refinement. He wanted to cultivate, but couldn't find a way; it wasn't until Old White explained that he had congenital problems and couldn't cultivate, no matter how hard he tried. As for the reason, Old White needed to think slowly, so he thought for three months.

  "That's natural, you don't even know who Ben Guixian is. In the past, Ben Guixian dominated the heavens and earth for millions of years, even the great masters would have to greet him with respect. Your physical problem is too simple." The White Jade Turtle stood upright on Xiao Fan's shoulder, its two small claws waving, showing off its overbearing demeanor.

  "Alright, alright, I know you were very powerful back then." Xiao Fan rubbed his head, feeling a headache. Although he knew that Lao Bai was very mysterious, he didn't believe it could roam the world freely, it was just too absurd.

  If Lao Bai could roam freely in the world, unbeatable by anyone, then why would it come to this world with Xiao Fan at this moment, and besides, it didn't show very strong power.

  "Hurry up and tell me, why can't I cultivate?" Xiao Fan asked.

  "Because your innate physique is different from ordinary people, you cannot cultivate," Lao Bai replied.

  "Nonsense, I already knew that this body had congenital problems and couldn't cultivate, what's the point of you telling me?" Xiao Fan rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction at Lao Bai's response.

  "What's the hurry, nothing can be accomplished by being overly anxious. Otherwise, even if you solve your physical problems, with your current state of mind, you won't be able to go far on the path of cultivation." Lao Bai said calmly.

  "Alright, I've waited for three months anyway." Xiao Fan helplessly suppressed his strong curiosity and ordered the servants to prepare a table of fine wine and dishes. In these three months of getting along with Lao Bai, he had already understood him well enough - this turtle could speak in a rather peculiar way, and it was also fond of good food and drink... seemingly there were no other extraordinary aspects about it.

  But in an instant, one man and one turtle were already seated at the table drinking together.

  "Xiaozi, your opportunity has arrived. If you grasp it well, in the future, dominating a part of heaven and earth is also possible. Of course, no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to this old turtle immortal." Old White said, not waiting for Xiao Fan to speak up after three rounds of drinks.

  "What's the opportunity?" Xiao Fan was most concerned about his own cultivation issues, as for Lao Bai's other words, he automatically ignored them. Lao Bai just liked to brag all day.

  "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Similarly, your physical limitations have restricted you for so many years, but they will also be your greatest reliance in the future."

  At this point, Lao Bai put down his wine glass, stood on the table, with his front paws inserted into his waist, and posed as a superior being. He said in a deep voice: "Ordinary people have meridians and dantian, which can be cultivated through exercises to refine their essence and energy, thus strengthening themselves. But your body is strange, it's chaotic inside, without any distinction between meridians and dantian, so you can't cultivate; from my experience as a turtle immortal who has lived through ancient times, I can see that this situation of yours is the manifestation of having a 'Primordial Chaos Sacred Body'."

  "Congenital Chaos Sacred Body", Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and his saliva almost dripped down: "Just hearing the name is so domineering, tsk tsk, this physique must be extremely powerful."

  "Since the creation of heaven and earth, those who possess the 'Pre-Heavenly Chaotic Sacred Body' will ultimately become one of two types of people. One type is unable to cultivate and live a mediocre life, turning to dust after a short few decades and returning to the heavens and earth. The other type cultivates to greatness, roaming the world unopposed, becoming a master of a domain. Old White didn't mince words and directly revealed the information about the 'Pre-Heavenly Chaotic Sacred Body'."

  "Is it because you haven't cultivated any skills?" Xiao Fan grasped the key point and asked.

  "You're right, it's because of the limitations of the cultivation method." Old White said: "In the 'Pre-Heavenly Chaotic Sacred Body', there is a piece of chaos inside, and there are no meridians or dantian. However, for ordinary people to cultivate, they all rely on meridians and dantian as the foundation, and the cultivation methods between heaven and earth are all based on this. This is the fixed principle of heaven and earth, and no one can change it. Therefore, your body restricts your cultivation, unless there is a special cultivation method. However, since the beginning of time, I only know of two cultivation methods that are suitable for cultivating the 'Pre-Heavenly Chaotic Sacred Body'."

  "It goes without saying, you definitely don't have those two skills." Xiao Fan lowered his head, feeling extremely depressed.
