Chapter Sixty: Mysterious and Confusing

  In the quiet courtyard, Yao Tianxiao and Hao Chengxiao looked at Zhang Yi with complex expressions on their faces, hesitating to answer his question.

  "Two seniors, is there something unspoken in this?" Zhang Yi asked in confusion.

  Yao Tianxiao said with a wry smile: "Lan Xin is a world-renowned saint thief, her footprints are all over the world, and countless big cases of theft in history were done by her. As for her relationship with your master, you'd better ask your master about it!"

  Hao Cheng Xiao floated up from the couch and said in a low voice, "Don't mention those old things anymore. Zhang Yi, have you already cultivated true energy?"

  "Yes!"

  Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

  He knew that this matter couldn't be hidden, and in order to learn the real skills from Hao Chengxiao and Yao Tianxiao, he had to tell them, let them know his situation, and tailor a training plan for himself.

  "Don't joke around, he's only been practicing for a few days? How can he possibly cultivate true energy?" Yao Tianxiao also stood up and shook his head with a smile: "He probably just sensed the existence of the air in the meridians and mistakenly thought it was true energy. Zhang Yi, let me teach you a lesson, truly cultivating true energy means you can control the true energy in the meridians with your mind, and circulate it at will along the cultivation route. Qi sensation is just feeling the presence of the air, but being unable to control it."

  "I can control it."

  Yao Tianxiao's smile froze on his face, his eyes staring blankly at Zhang Yi. His lips moved a few times before he asked in a daze: "You really cultivated true energy? Can you really control it?"

  "Really."

  Zhang Yi nodded firmly.

  "Unbelievable! You've only just started cultivating for a few days? And yet you can already sense the existence of Qi and control it? I've seen countless geniuses, but never heard anyone say that they could cultivate true Qi in such a short period of time. Not even those exceptional children from hidden families who have been immersed in spiritual liquids since childhood, taking blood food and spiritual elixirs to nourish their essence, Qi, and blood, can achieve this so quickly!"

  Hao Cheng's eyes returned to normal as he said, "Zhang Yi, so it seems that your current cultivation has already reached the Post-Heaven Initial Stage?"

  Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "The 'Yin Yang Great Method' that Elder Yao gave me has a detailed introduction to the level of one's own cultivation. If I follow the description, I should be at the Post-Heaven Middle Realm now."

  "Mid-level boundary in two days?"

  Yao Tianxiao's voice trembled with a shocked cry, and Hao Chengxiao was also full of shock on his face.

  They suspected that there was something wrong with their hearing, after all, someone who had only tried to cultivate for a few days could actually cultivate true energy and control it, which was already an unbelievable thing. But now Zhang Yi was telling them that he had broken through to the post-heavenly middle-level realm, this...wasn't this a joke?

  Right!

  You must be joking!

  Otherwise, this cultivation speed is simply against the heavens. Probably only divine cultivators can possess such a speed.

  Zhang Yi forced a smile and said, "Two seniors, you don't have to look at me like that, do you? Maybe I just have a bit of talent for cultivation, so I'm a little ahead of others!"

  "Faster?"

  Yao Tianxiao and Hao Chengxiao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

  "Zhang Yi, do you know that Yao Tianxiao, this old ghost, was once hailed as the most outstanding ancient martial arts genius in the ancient martial arts world? From the start of his cultivation to breaking through the post-heavenly middle-level realm, how long did it take him? Three months, exactly three months! And I, it took me nearly five months to break through to the post-heavenly middle-level realm. Is this called being a bit fast? This is called sitting on a rocket and rushing forward..." Hao Chengxiao's face turned red with rage as he shouted.

  Yao Tianxiao's face was also bright red, obviously stimulated by Zhang Yi's words, his face was extremely embarrassed.

  A few minutes later.

  "Old Demon, since this kid has such a high innate talent, we shouldn't show any mercy. Within three to four months, he must break through to the Xiantian realm."

  "Good!"

  Hao Cheng readily agreed.

  Zhang Yi took a deep breath, recalling the fierce battle with Yan Huiying last night. His eyes suddenly gleamed with determination as he said in a low voice, "Two seniors, whatever tricks you have up your sleeves, bring them on. I'm confident I can withstand them."

  "Haha... I've been waiting for you to say that."

  Yao Tianxiao burst out laughing with a hint of malice in his expression.

  Suburbs of Chuzhou City

  In the secluded pavilion hidden in the mountains, an oppressive atmosphere filled the air. Lan Xing's face was as cold as frost, her eyes burning with anger as she sat upright in her chair.

  While Chu Qianying's beautiful face was also filled with anger, her mind kept recalling the scenes that had happened since she met Zhang Yi.

  After a while.

  Chu Qianying broke the silence and said:

  "Master, Brother's phone is unreachable. We followed the blood trail to that highway and then there was no trace left. What should we do next?"

  Lan Xing asked: "Has Zhang Yi ever told you where he is from? Where is he going? Where can he be found?"

  Chu Qianying said: "Specifically I don't know, but he said that in the future he will be in Jingnan City."

  Jingnan City?

  Lan Xiang said thoughtfully: "Qian Ying, let's move, go to Jingnan City."

  Chu Qianning nodded slightly and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice: "Master, what about that senior brother of mine..."

  "From today on, Yan Huiying is no longer my disciple, and he's no longer your senior brother. Once I recover from my illness, I'll personally go to the Yan family and ask Yan Huiying what happened to Zhang Wei."

  If it were in the past, Lan Xing would have said something like this and Chu Qianying would definitely argue a few words for Yan Huiying and help him beg for mercy. But at this moment, she was also filled with anger and disgust towards Yan Huiying in her heart, when she heard Shifu's words, not only did she not think of begging for mercy for Yan Huiying, but she even felt that Shifu had done the right thing.

  Chuzhou City Central Hospital

  The operating room was in a flurry of activity, and the person lying on the operating table was none other than Yan Huiying, who was covered in blood.

  That sentence "good people don't live long, calamity leaves a legacy of a thousand years" is indeed an absurd and evil saying, but occasionally it still comes true. Just like the case of Yan Hui, who struggled to crawl from the mountains and forests onto the highway outside, just as he was about to collapse and lose consciousness, he was rescued by passersby and taken to the Zhongshan City Central Hospital, where even on the registration form, it was that kind-hearted person's signature.

  After more than four hours of rescue, Yan Huiying finally saved a life, but the hospital's conclusion was that she would be disabled for life and could only live in a wheelchair.

  Facing his own miserable fate, the unconscious Yan Huiying was unaware of it. Whether he can accept this cruel reality in the future, only he will understand after waking up.

  Jingnan City, First People's Hospital.

  In the luxurious ward of the inpatient department, Zhao Xi's head, face and body were all bandaged with gauze, lying on the bed like a mummy.

  By the bedside, a stout middle-aged woman was looking at Zhao Xi with a pained expression on her face, constantly wiping away tears.

  In the corridor outside the ward.

  Mr. Zhao, the big boss of the Zhao Group, looked at a middle-aged doctor with a gloomy face and asked, "Dr. Chen, how is my son's condition? Is he seriously injured?"

  The middle-aged doctor smiled bitterly: "I don't know who did it, but your son's nasal bone is depressed, his cheekbone has a fracture, two teeth are missing, his eardrum is slightly injured, and he also has a slight concussion; in addition, three of his ribs are fractured, his right arm is broken, and he may need to rest for several months."

  Zhao Xinmin's fists were clenched tightly, and a terrifying killing intent burst out of his eyes. His appearance startled the middle-aged doctor, who subconsciously took a step back.

  Zhao Xinmin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he keenly sensed the middle-aged doctor's movements. He immediately retracted that murderous intent and said seriously: "Doctor Chen, my son's injury will be troubling you from now on. No matter what the cost, I must have my son recover as soon as possible."

  The middle-aged doctor swallowed his saliva and nodded with a few points of caution, saying: "Don't worry, we will definitely do our best to treat your son."

  "When will my son wake up?"

  The middle-aged doctor said: "It should be soon, and he should wake up within a few hours."

  At the end of the corridor, a young man in black leather jacket rushed over with swift steps, his eyes scanning over the middle-aged doctor.

  "I still have things to attend to, so I won't disturb you anymore." The middle-aged doctor saw that the young man obviously had something to say, and hastily finished speaking before turning around and leaving.

  Zhao Xinmin asked coldly: "How's the investigation going? Who beat your brother like this? What was the reason?"

  Zhao Tao said in a low voice, "The investigation is clear. Xiaoxi was previously at the Zhoucun City medicinal material market, attending a medicinal material auction, where someone maliciously bid against him and injured him. The person who injured him was that same person who maliciously bid against him, a young man named Zhang Yi."

  Zhao Xinmin furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice, "What did he go to the medicine market in Chuzhou City for? Is he still needed for purchasing medicines?"

  Zhao Tao said: "He said he wanted to learn more about the medicinal materials, so he greeted me and went to Zhouzhi City. He participated in the auction of medicinal materials because he discovered that only the earth spider grass could cure my master's injuries. Xiaoxi knew this, so he hoped that my master would recover his strength, and in the future, our Zhao family would have another powerful ally. When he was bidding for the earth spider grass, he called me and I told him to get it at all costs."

  Zhao Xinmin coldly said: "What about Tǔ Zhū Cǎo?"

  Zhao Tao said: "Xiao Xi called me before she fainted, saying that the Tuhuo grass was also robbed by a bastard named Zhang Yi."

  Zhao Xinmin's eyes revealed a strong hatred, and he said in a low voice: "Xiaotao, no matter what method you use, find Zhang Yi for me as soon as possible. Not only do I want to tear him apart, but also bring back the Tucao grass."

  "Yes!"
