Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 301: Master Qinghan
There was silence in the cloud room. A wisp of white steam rose from the Baihui acupoint of Master Kang. Soon, the narrow cloud room of Master Kang was filled with the smoke, making it look like a fairyland.

Kang Dabao was sitting on the couch, wearing only a pair of trousers. Looking at him now, his sturdy body was not bloated at all, with a strong back and strong waist, and anyone who saw him would call him a villain.

Large amounts of fine sweat ooze out from the pores all over the body, rolling down from the well-defined muscles. Before they hit the ground, they had already condensed into yellow crystals the size of dewdrops.

After a while, Kang Dabao's breath turned into clouds, and his skin suddenly glowed with fluorescence, turning into the color of brass.

At this time, Kang Dabao just opened his eyes, without a trace of complacency in his eyes.

Looking down, he saw that the twelve handfuls of green silk stone placed around him had already been drained of their gold energy and turned into dust. With another wave of his sleeve, the dust mixed with the yellow crystal and white steam in the room and condensed into a fist-sized, gray and white stone pill.

Sect Leader Kang placed the stone pill in his hand and examined it, his eyes dull as he sighed in his heart: "It is too difficult to practice "The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace". Even though I have the assistance of the Jade Jue and sufficient resources, it took me two years to finally gain entry."

It turns out that the top-grade body-refining technique of the Universe Class is not that easy to practice. Before going into seclusion, Kang Dabao took out this technique for Yuan Jin to practice.

The latter was quite talented in practicing the "White Ape Sutra", which was a method similar to physical cultivation. Yuan Jin had quite a lot of insights on it. Kang Dabao originally thought that it should be easier for him to practice the "True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace" than for himself.

Who would have thought that Yuan Jin had only halfway through his Qi training and hadn't even started to strengthen his muscles and bones when he already had signs of internal Qi disorder. If he hadn't dispersed his Qi in time and had Kang Dabao been there to protect him, something serious might have happened.

From then on, Kang Dabao had a different understanding of the "average figure" described in the cultivation conditions of "The True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace".

Unlike the humble cultivators like the headmaster Kang who had never seen the world and thought everyone he saw was "average", Beiye Palace must be a great sect, and the vision of the high cultivators in charge of enlightenment and education must be much higher.

It is said that those Taoist disciples and geniuses in Liangyi Sect and even Zhaixing Tower are just mediocre in the eyes of the other party.

Even the head of the Kang family had to take two doses of spiritual dew, undergo bone-cutting and marrow-cleansing, and have a physique different from that of ordinary people before he reached the threshold of the so-called "average figure".

After his two previous failures, he thought it was because of his poor aptitude, but he never thought about whether this method was too difficult to get started.

It seems that in this way, in the short term, apart from Kang Dabao, there is really no one else in the Chongming Sect who can practice this method.

"In another nine years, when the next round of spiritual liquid is generated, let's give the second brother one dose first." Kang Dabao was still a little worried about Yuan Jin's foundation building.

After a long sigh, Kang Dabao calmed down and returned his gaze to his brass skin. "This "True Explanation of the Ancient Original Body of Beiye Palace" is difficult, but it has its advantages."

As his mind moved, a lion worm with a sturdy body and sharp mouthparts crawled out of the spirit worm bag. Then he waved his fingers, and the lion worm received the master's order, but it was not polite, and it opened its mouth and bit Kang Dabao's bronze skin.

Kang Dabao's face trembled, a trace of pain appeared between his brows, and he almost cried out in surprise, but when he looked closely, he found that the skin bitten by the lion worm had no bleeding, only some red marks.

This made Master Kang very happy. You know, this lion worm is a first-grade top-grade spiritual insect that has been fed with star frost soil. It is most effective in restraining physical cultivation.

Even if he was like the toothless old man seen in Mijia Village, if he was surrounded by a group of lion insects, his iron bones would be useless and he would only end up dying in regret.

In other words, Kang Da Zhang Bao had just practiced this method to the entry level, but he had already surpassed the toothless old man's hundred years of hard work.

The so-called "Without the right method, it is difficult to achieve the right result" is just like this. According to his calculations, now he can fight against two or three people of the same level holding low-grade spiritual weapons just by relying on his physical body without using Taoism; as for ordinary Qi training monks, even if there are hundreds of them without forming a formation, they may not be able to stop him.

Compared with that toothless old man, the difference can almost be described as heaven and earth.

"It's just such a waste of spirit stones," Master Kang's nature was hard to change. He sighed and first stopped the lion worm that was still reluctant to eat, and then stuffed it back into the spirit worm bag.

After the bag was opened, he did not close it in a hurry, and stuffed the gray and white stone pill back in.

One dou of green silkworm stone costs 1,300 spirit stones, and the caravan has to go to other states to buy it. Such an expensive item, the remaining residue cannot be wasted, it is just right to feed the lion worms of "Good Eaters of Gold and Jade".

Furthermore, the white steam is transformed from the essence of the body, and the yellow crystal is condensed from the filtered juice. The waste in the body of Master Kang is also a good food for the lion worm, and it may even deepen the bond between the master and the servant, so it cannot be wasted.

Kang Dabao's gaze stopped at the opening of the spirit insect bag. He felt happy as he watched the stone dan being quickly eaten up by the spirit insects with bright carapaces.

Following Kang Yilong's instructions, Sect Leader Kang used Star Frost Soil to breed lionworms that were quite good.

From this point of view, in just another 10 or 20 years, this group of lion worms may be able to start trying to advance. The probability of spiritual worms failing to advance is not small, but if one in five of them can reach the lower grade of the second stage, then the strength of the head of Kang will be greatly improved.

However, compared with the relatively smooth spiritual insect breeding and body training, Kang Dabao's speed in practicing the "Qingyangsong Sutra" was not satisfactory.

According to Master Kang's own estimation, at this rate, even if there were no more obstacles to overcome in the practice, it would probably take another half a century before he could advance to a mid-stage cultivator.

According to what Black Shoe Taoist and Shan Gong said, this is indeed the normal speed of cultivation for a cultivator with three spiritual roots after building a foundation. Kang Dabao was able to catch up with them only because of the blessing of the jade pendant.

This is not really slow. After all, after forming a foundation, it is not uncommon for practitioners to make no progress in their entire lives.

For example, Ma Wenhan from the Changyun Ma family, Shan Sheng from the Feiyue Shan family, and Huo Bing, the former Yunjiaozhou governor who betrayed the state court and died of old age, are all like this.

Kang Dabao is only 48 years old this year and has not yet reached the age of knowing the destiny. If all the foundation-building practitioners in the entire Shannan Dao were gathered together for comparison, he, the great master Kang, would be worthy of the word "prominent".

According to this calculation, he should be able to cultivate to the peak of foundation building and try to form a pill before the age of 200. Considering his Yuye foundation building and his life span of 300 years, he was still in the prime of his life, which was enough to surpass 70% to 80% of the foundation building true practitioners in this world.

As long as the theory of alchemy is perfected, there won't be much obstacle in forming the elixir.

"Two hundred years old" Kang Dabao let out a long breath and shook his head.

His Chongming Sect only existed for two hundred years, and he didn't even live that long in his two lifetimes combined. It's hard to imagine what the situation was like back then.

Who knows, by that time, the emperor of David's dynasty may have been replaced.

"There is still a jade pendant in the provincial treasury. I don't know when I can make new achievements and exchange it." In this world, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

After getting used to Yu Jue's assistance in his practice, Kang Dabao no longer wanted to recall the days when he was stuck at the fourth level of Qi training and made no progress.

Master Kang pushed open the door that had been closed for hundreds of days and months. The simply furnished small courtyard seemed a little deserted. The leaves of the two yellow poplar trees had turned yellow and were falling to the ground in a disorderly manner. Only a strong young man was busy sweeping the yard.

"Little Wu Meng."

"Master." Wu Meng was surprised and delighted. He moved agilely and stepped in front of Kang Dabao in a few steps.

"The master is coming out earlier than expected," Wu Meng showed a silly smile on his face. At this moment, he could not bear the slightest bit of the majesty of the three mortal giants of the Chongming Sect.

"Sitting there is no point, we need to combine work and rest." Kang Dabao never had to worry about his manners in front of people close to him. He stretched and asked softly, "Are all the masters in the sect now?"

"The second master and the head master went into seclusion at the same time and have not come out yet; the third master came back last month and went to Tanggu County to guard the spiritual stone mine the day before yesterday; the fourth master accompanied Madam Shan back to the Shan family ten days ago and has not returned yet; Master Pei..."

"My goodness, who is in charge of the sect now?" After listening to this, Sect Master Kang realized that most of the elders in the sect were in seclusion or away.

"The masters have previously discussed letting Brother Duan take charge of clan affairs temporarily. If there are any major issues that cannot be decided, you can go to Qinghan Courtyard and ask Madam for advice." Wu Meng replied respectfully.

"Madam, would you like to discuss this?" Kang Dabao nodded. It seemed that everyone in Chongming Sect had no grudges against the Sect Master's wife Fei Shuhe anymore. This was a good thing.

After chatting with Wu Meng for a while, he learned that Kang Rongquan had found a female cultivator with five spiritual roots to be his wife in the past year or two, and they were going to get married on a certain date.

When Kang Dabao heard this, he was sincerely happy for Wu Meng, so he left a few pills to help Wu Meng become stronger and stronger, then left the courtyard and went to the main hall of the sect.

————Zhongmingzong Zoo
Duan Anle, who was concentrating on his work, never imagined that his master had already come out of retreat and was looking for him.

At this moment, he was concentrating on watching the two deer mating in the spiritual wood fence, his eyes fixed on the scene.

He had taken over the breeding of deer for many years, but had no idea how to do it. It was only in the past one or two years that he had made some progress. Duan Anle was very concerned. Kang Rongquan, who was watching from the side, also had an advanced skill. He knew how important this matter was to Duan Anle, so he remained silent and did not disturb him.

"Oh, sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Junior Brother." Duan Anle held the jade knife and jade slip in his hands and spoke carefully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and bowed to Kang Rongquan to apologize.

Kang Rongquan saw Duan Anle's face improve, and asked softly, "Brother Duan, is there any progress on this matter?"

"We have an 80% chance of success. If we do a good job of breeding the deer, we can increase the sect's income by 300 spirit stones in one year." As soon as Duan Anle finished speaking, Kang Rongquan also laughed: "Senior Brother Duan is worthy of being a role model for our generation!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point." Duan Anle felt something was wrong when Kang Rongquan said this and gradually put away the smile on his face.

Kang Rongquan had never thought from the beginning that he could hide it from this senior brother who was as down-to-earth as the head uncle, and continued:
"The harvest of the Cha Se Valley is coming soon, and the sect is short of manpower, so I recruited a few helpers from the Kuai family. Unexpectedly, they had a dispute with the guards of Qing Han Courtyard in the spiritual field this morning."

Duan Anle chewed and tasted something. He didn't believe what Kang Rongquan said about "discord", so he asked softly, "Is anyone dead?"

"No, he just got beaten up." Seeing Duan Anle's expression relaxed a lot, Kang Rongquan continued, "If it was an ordinary employee, he would just get beaten up, even if the injury was serious, there would be no need to say anything. But after all, this is the Kuai family, my foolish brother's master's wife..."

Kang Rongquan hesitated to speak, and Duan Anle shook his head after hearing what he said.

The quality of the newly recruited son-in-law of the Kuai family is not as good as the previous batch. How could they dare to have any conflicts with the guards of Qinghan Courtyard? They will most likely be bullied.

These servants of the rich families have a kind of pride. It is no exaggeration to say that they are arrogant. As soon as they arrived in the countryside of Pingrong County, they naturally acted a bit recklessly.

If it weren't for the fact that the Six-Star Gangyan Formation that Master Kang had obtained in exchange for the Fei family's help had already been built, most of the core areas of Xiaohuan Mountain would have been included in it, isolating them from the outside, and there would have been more incidents like this.

Last time, He Yuan, the mayor of Chongming City, reported several cases of Qinghan Court guards running to Chongming City to commit crimes, and the two sides almost had a conflict at that time.

Duan Anle persuaded him to stop because of the overall situation, but now he has returned to his old ways not long after. It is time to ask him about it.

Moreover, this time the matter involved relatives of the Chongming Sect, so it was even harder to ignore it. Duan Anle said softly, "I haven't greeted my master's wife for a long time. Junior Brother Kang, please come with me."

Kang Rongquan readily agreed. In his opinion, Fei Shuhe, the great-aunt, was quite reasonable. Not spending money made sense.

The two walked to Qinghan Courtyard, handed over the visiting card, and followed a maid who called herself Ping'er into Fei Shuhe's inner courtyard. Unexpectedly, Fei Shuhe was not the only one in the courtyard, but also the head of the Kang family. The couple was trying to comfort Kang Changyi, who was frightened by the sudden appearance of his biological father.

"Master,"

"Great uncle."

Duan Anle and Kang Rongquan couldn't help but exclaimed, "You just came out of retreat, and you didn't take care of your business, but you came to Qinghan Courtyard first?!"

It's human nature. Master and his mistress have a very close relationship, so Duan Anle is also happy. However, this is very different from the past style of Master Kang, so it's a bit surprising.

"Hey, Anle, why weren't you in the main hall of the sect before?!" Sect Master Kang also felt embarrassed, so he took the initiative.

"Master," Duan Anle was stunned for a moment before he told what he had done before.

"Yes, you have managed the zoo well over the years," Kang Dabao said with appreciation, feeling that it was the right thing to do to bring Duan Anle back from the caravan.

Duan Anle, who was praised, did not take credit for it. He just said softly, "It is not Anle's credit. My master's wife sent Instructor Long to teach the way of raising and controlling beasts in the sect. I often ask for advice, so I have made some progress."

Duan Anle saw that Fei Shuhe's face had improved after hearing this, and he continued, "It's not just about taming beasts, there are also hundreds of arts such as elixirs, weapons, talismans, and formations. The master's wife has sent people to teach them in the sect."

"Oh? My dear wife." When the two disciples saw the embarrassing scene where Master Kang's hand was pushed away by his wife, they quickly turned their heads away.

Kang Dabao was naturally embarrassed, so he asked, "Why are you two here?"

Kang Rongquan stood up and narrated what had happened in a straightforward manner.

"Madame Sun?!" Fei Shuhe narrowed her eyes and spoke in a bad tone.

Nanny Sun replied sternly, "The servants knew about the offenders before, but they had made some contributions to the Magic Sword Alliance before, and they also acted with some discretion, so they were not punished."

"Give rewards where due and punish where due. Do it when you go down!" Fei Shuhe's face became even uglier after hearing what Nanny Sun said, and the latter agreed respectfully.

Kang Rongquan and Duan Anle were satisfied with the promise, and after listening to Fei Shuhe's warnings and encouragements, they also left together. Just as Nanny Sun was about to leave, Kang Dabao stopped her out of curiosity: "What are you doing with Nanny Sun taking people to the Fantasy Sword Alliance?"

Nanny Sun glanced at Fei Shuhe and then said:
"The young lady said that the Illusion Sword Alliance had previously bullied you too much, and that no one in the alliance had any intention of repenting. So far, they have not come to you to ask for forgiveness. So before the New Year, she asked the maid to seal the Dantian of the Grand Elder of the Illusion Sword Alliance, and handed him over to the officials, and he was sent to Liangxi Road to serve the country."

The head of the Kang family was shocked. He had wanted to deal with the Fantasy Sword Alliance for a long time. He had thought of finding a reason to send his family to Baisha County, to add a pawn to the Yunwei Zheng family, and to let the Jingnan Yuan family help teach them a lesson.

But she didn't expect that Fei Shuhe had already done it in advance, but this method was somewhat domineering, which was quite in line with outsiders' stereotype of noble ladies from wealthy families.

Kang Dabao looked surprised and turned to look at Fei Shuhe, with a soft light in his eyes: "Madam, are you venting your anger for me?" The latter was obviously angry and ignored him.

Upon seeing this, Nanny Sun tactfully took her maid and carried Kang Changyi away, leaving the couple alone in the inner courtyard.

Fei Shuhe turned her back and bit her lips lightly. Her pair of clear blue eyes seemed to be filled with flying flowers, dreams, and drizzles of sorrow.

The noble lady did not answer him, but only showed Kang Dabao her graceful back. Even the wide skirt could not cover her beautiful curves, which made Kang Dabao stare at her curvaceous figure, his mouth watering.

After a while, Fei Shuhe asked, "Did you go to look for Huo's right after you came out of seclusion?"

"Ah?!" Sect Leader Kang was a little surprised. No wonder he looked unhappy as soon as he entered the door. Was Fei Shuhe jealous? ! This was totally inconsistent with Fei Shuhe's previous personality? !
Besides, I just came here after taking a shower and changing clothes, right? How can I smell it?!
Seeing that Fei Shuhe was angry because he was out of seclusion to work on the piles, Kang Dabao felt complicated and didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Even though he has lived two lives as a human being, Master Kang does not think he can guess any girl's mind. This is more difficult than seeking the truth because it cannot be calculated by reason.

He thought about it, and made a decision instantly. He stood up and walked gently behind Fei Shuhe.

He slowly lowered his body, and while holding his wife in his arms with his strong hands, he leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I am too dull, and I have tried to do something many times but still can't do it well. So I thought, I must learn it well before I come to find my wife, so that we can share happiness together."

The heat from the ears burned the naive Fei Shuhe so much that he turned red from head to toe, as beautiful as a piece of white jade that had been warmed by rough hands.

She had never thought that Kang Dabao, who had always been timid, would be so bold this time, but at this moment she did not bother to refute her husband's extremely poor excuse.

But the modesty of a noble lady that she had developed over the years forced her to push away the wanton scoundrel behind her, and a bright red bellyband with gold-rimmed edges fell to the ground.

Fei Shuhe couldn't help it any longer, and turned around to glare at Kang Dabao who was still serious: "You said you couldn't learn it, but now you can even use your teeth to untie your bellyband!"

The undergarment fell off, and the eldest daughter of the Fei family seemed to have unsealed herself. She leaned close to Kang Dabao's ear and whispered in his ear, "Let me try to see what skills you have acquired from that worthless body."

Master Kang couldn't help it any longer, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "The bet was right!" He hugged her and ran to the party place.

The autumn wind turns to spring rain, and the room is full of vitality and thunder.

The position of the head of Qinghan Academy has changed hands since then!
