Chapter 43: Raising Cultivation

  I have collected over 400, still short of 70 to reach 500. Red tickets are also over 800. Previously, I said that if the collection reaches 500 or red tickets reach 1000, I will update more. Now it's not far from updating more. Dare you let me update more? If so, collect and vote!

  After returning, Zhang Cheng didn't say much and just sat there in a daze. Zhang Fang knew he was digesting the things he had told him today, so he didn't disturb him either.

  Moreover, he also felt that Zhang Cheng really needed some time to sort things out properly. After all, there were just too many things happening at the same time on this day, and anyone would be overwhelmed.

  As for Zhang Xin, he thought Zhang Cheng was thinking of his mother, so he didn't go to disturb him either.

  Actually, both of them were wrong. At this moment, Zhang Cheng was thinking about why his parents had been killed, whether it was a vendetta or a robbery, or something else.

  But if it was a vendetta or a robbery, why did only his mother come to this place alone, while his father was nowhere to be found?

  "Could it be that his own biological father was still alive?" But this thought had just arisen when he vetoed it, or rather, he didn't dare to think so.

  Because in his view, if his father was still alive, that would mean he had abandoned his pregnant mother.

  Such a man is not even qualified to be a man, let alone Zhang Cheng's father, so he dare not think this way.

  But if he didn't think that way, then his father might have passed away too, and in this case, he was caught in a dilemma.

  About half an incense stick later, Zhang Long's door opened and Dan Chenzi walked out calmly. At this time, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xin immediately ran over and asked: "Master, how is it? Has my brother's injury recovered?"

  "Uh, his skeleton and meridians have all been connected by me. At the same time, I took advantage of the Huichun Dan's medicinal power to widen his meridians quite a bit. He can be considered to have benefited from misfortune. However, the true energy within his body slowly dissipated due to the lack of circulation through the meridians. This is something I am powerless to do anything about." Dandanzi nodded and replied.

  "It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can recover, your cultivation is gone, but you can start again!" Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and then said: "Master, you rest for a while now, I'll go take a look at my big brother!"

  "Alright, go ahead, I'll just take a break!" Danchenzi responded with a sound, then walked to the side and sat down with his eyes closed to recover.

  Then Zhang Cheng helped Zhang Fang up and the three of them entered the room together.

  Only to see Zhang Long lying comfortably on the bed, with all the gauze removed from his body, his eyebrows fully relaxed and his complexion much rosier than before.

  "Dad, now you can rest assured, hurry back and recover, your injuries can't be delayed!" Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Fang after seeing that Zhang Long was fine.

  Although Zhang Fang was not his biological father, the feelings between them were even closer than those of a biological father and son. Therefore, Zhang Cheng did not distance himself from Zhang Fang because of this matter, but instead cherished their relationship more than before.

  "Alright, I'll go back to cultivate!" Zhang Long's face broke into a smile, especially when he saw that Zhang Cheng was treating him the same as before, his heart felt very relieved, and he responded with a sound.

  "Sister, you stay here and take care of big brother, I'll send Father back to her room!" Zhang Cheng said to Zhang Xin.

  "Alright then, be careful!" Zhang Xin's face also broke into a smile. Although Zhang Cheng was no longer her biological brother, the feelings between them hadn't changed, which made her very happy too.

  "Don't worry, I'll be careful," Zhang Cheng said as he escorted Zhang Fang out, exchanged a few words with Dan Chenzi, and then sent Zhang Fang back to the room.

  "Alright, you can go now, I'll just meditate for a bit and that's about it!" Zhang Fang sat down on the bed with his legs crossed, then said.

  "Hmm!" Zhang Cheng responded with a grunt and then walked out of the room.

  However, as soon as he left the room, he thought of his father's efforts for him over the past five years without making any progress, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. So, through the contract, he contacted Xiang Tian: "Master, is there any elixir that can speed up the cultivation of a warrior?"

  "Improve a warrior's cultivation speed? Didn't I tell you, foundation is important, can't improve too quickly, or it will affect future cultivation!" Xiang Tian thought Zhang Cheng wanted to improve his own cultivation, so he said this.

  "No, you misunderstood me, I want to help my father improve his cultivation!" Zhang Cheng explained when he saw Xiang Tian had misunderstood.

  "Oh, I see, but what about your father's foundation? If he were to suddenly rise in power, wouldn't that have a significant impact on him as well?" Xiang Tian asked cautiously.

  "I'm not sure about this either, but in the past, he would infuse true energy into my body every now and then over a period of five years to save me. As a result, I haven't made any progress in my cultivation for five years. Can it be improved like this?" Zhang Cheng asked.

  "Uh, after five years of tempering, his foundation is pretty good. In that case, it's possible to upgrade." Xiang Tian paused for a moment before continuing: "There's a Nourishing Qi Pill in the Storage Ring, which is a medicinal pill used by Qi-refining cultivators to enhance their innate True Qi. You can dilute it and have him take it, but when his cultivation breaks through to 9th rank, you must stop and spend half a year consolidating before continuing to upgrade. Otherwise, it will still affect his future cultivation!"

  "How should it be diluted?" Zhang Cheng asked.

  "It's the same as before, use water to dilute it. However, your father's cultivation is higher than your brother's, so five jugs of water will do!" Xiang Tian replied.

  "Alright, I'll go and take care of it!" With that, Zhang Cheng cut off his connection with Xiang Tian, then found someone to move five large water vats into Zhang Fang's room.

  "Cheng Er, what are you trying to do?" Zhang Fang asked in confusion.

  "Hehe, Father, don't ask anymore, you'll know soon." Zhang Cheng smiled and didn't respond to Zhang Fang's words. He then ordered someone to fill one of the water tanks with water, and also had them bring over several dozen buckets of water. After the people delivering the water left, he took out a Nourishing Qi Pill from his storage ring.

  The Nourishing Qi Pill is slightly smaller, only the size of a small thumb, with a light yellow color. After pouring out from the bottle mouth, it emits a faint and delicate fragrance, but the scent is not too rich.

  Zhang Cheng put the Yang Qi Dan on top of a water-filled bucket, squeezed it hard, and then threw the crushed medicine into the water. Instantly, the entire bucket of water turned light yellow.

  Then he scooped a ladle of water into another empty vat, and then filled the vat with the bucket next to it. He scooped another ladle of water into another vat, and filled it again, until after filling the fifth vat, Zhang Cheng finally stopped.

  At this moment, the fifth barrel of water has not changed much, and there is no color in the water. However, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell a faint fragrance.

  "Son, what are you doing? I just can't understand!" Zhang Fang was confused by Zhang Cheng, he really couldn't figure out what the point of pouring these jars of water back and forth was!

  "Heh heh, come on Father, take a sip and see what it feels like!" Zhang Cheng ladled out a scoop of water from the fifth vat and handed it to Zhang Fang.

  "Drink this water?" Zhang Fang still didn't understand what kind of trick Zhang Cheng was playing, but he still took the ladle and drank a mouthful.

  But suddenly, his face changed, and immediately afterwards, his eyes widened, he hastily returned the water scoop to Zhang Cheng, and then he himself began to cultivate.

  As soon as Zhang Fang swallowed the water, it suddenly turned into a warm current that filled his limbs and torso, rushing wildly inside his body.

  He had experienced this feeling before, such as when he was eating ginseng.

  However, when taking ginseng, the medicinal effect is not obvious. Even if you take hundred-year-old ginseng, at most, only a faint warmth can be felt, which cannot compare with this situation.

  Zhang Fang didn't dare to be careless anywhere, immediately gathered his mind and spirit, and went all out to digest this power, then enhanced his own cultivation and recovered from his injuries.
