Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 102 Big Yellow's Escape

"Finally broke through, Qi Refining Level 4!"

To avoid arousing suspicion about the Zhao family in Wuzhen, he did not leave behind any cultivation resources in his previous life, except for the Nascent Soul Immortal Treasure.

This has truly caused great suffering to his remaining soul.

At the same time, despite their painstaking efforts, the Zhao family of Wuzhen still attracted the attention of some people.

Cultivating day and night, Zhao Kun sighed with emotion. Without cultivation resources such as spirit stones and rare treasures, relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was truly difficult.

Even though he was a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it took him more than a month to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

This was all thanks to the extremely simple spirit-gathering array he had set up around the Zhao residence a few days ago, which accelerated his cultivation speed.

"Ok?"

"Who would have thought that the Zhao family's big yellow dog was actually a demonic beast?"

Now at the fourth level of Qi Refining, Zhao Kun has recovered much of his abilities, and he can smell the demonic aura on Da Huang.

He got up, pushed open the door, and went out into the courtyard.

Big Yellow was lying on the ground sleeping when it saw Zhao Kun staring intently at it. It felt a chill run down its spine and realized that its identity as a demon beast might have been exposed.

Zhao Kun quickly flipped through his predecessor's memories and discovered that the big yellow dog had sneaked into the Zhao residence but had not done anything to harm the Zhao family.

It seems that this big yellow dog is quite intelligent and knows that Master Zhao saved its life, so it did not repay kindness with enmity.

"Wang?"

Da Huang was very nervous. He stood up and shouted at Zhao Kun, "Dude, what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhao Kun raised his hand and cast a spell to imprison Da Huang.

Big Yellow was extremely anxious, but it couldn't make a sound, nor could it break free from Zhao Kun's binding spell.

Big Yellow thought to himself, "It's all over. I should have left the Zhao residence with Brother Chicken. Now I'm doomed."

Zhao Kun, however, did not rush to act, but carefully examined Da Huang.

"You've become a demon beast, so why is your leg still lame?"

Zhao Kun was puzzled. Was it too much of a coincidence that a dog demon had suddenly appeared at the Zhao family's residence in Wuzhen?
He suddenly wondered if this dog demon was something he had arranged in this life.
Upon realizing this, he immediately gathered his magical power and drew a seal to break the curse on his left palm.

He wanted to see if the dog demon had any special seals he had left on it.

As he stepped forward and placed his left hand on Big Yellow's head, a mysterious curse mark appeared on Big Yellow's body, and from the spot where it limped, something emitted a faint, translucent white light.

Zhao Kun was overjoyed. The seal for breaking the curse matched, and this dog still carried the item he had sealed in this lifetime.

Soon, Dahuang lost control and slowly spat out a piece of bone.

The bone was about the size of an adult's finger joint. Big Yellow was stunned, his eyes wide open. What was this thing?

And after the bone was expelled, Da Huang's lame leg was completely healed, without any problems whatsoever.

Zhao Kun held the bone in his hand, infused it with his magic power, and quickly learned the information within it.

"As expected of me!"

Zhao Kun smiled and crushed the bone into powder.

He has learned about his reincarnation and other information, and a battle plan has also been agreed upon.

This big yellow dog was enlightened by its past self, who injected a piece of information into its bones, sealed it inside the dog, and arranged for the dog to enter the Zhao family mansion.

In this life, he uses the body of Dahuang to transmit the message to a wisp of his own remnant soul, thus achieving a coordinated attack from within and without.

This sealing technique is unique to him and he is not afraid that others will intercept it and break it.

It is equivalent to a unique encryption method between one's own body and the remnant soul.

"In that case, I am relieved."

Zhao Kun smiled slightly. He was very well prepared for this life, and everything was under control.

Then, his gaze fell on Big Yellow, and he smiled as he patted Big Yellow's head, saying:

"Big Yellow, we are friends, not enemies. You don't need to worry that I will hurt you."

After saying that, he released the restraints on Dahuang.

Big Yellow was already terrified. It quickly tucked its tail between its legs and shrank back, stealing a timid glance at Zhao Kun.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun said nothing more and went straight back to his room.

Seeing that its monster identity had been exposed, Da Huang stopped pretending, took off the collar around its neck, and scrambled out through the dog hole.

Big Yellow ran away from the Zhao residence at full speed. Its leg was no longer lame, and it ran very fast, howling loudly at the same time, clearly quite frightened.

It quickly fled Wuzhen and plunged into the mountains and forests.

It didn't know where to go; in short, only by getting away from the Zhao residence and Zhao Kun could it feel a little safe.

As it ran, it sensed behind it to see if Zhao Kun was chasing after it.

"Big Yellow, what's wrong?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Big Yellow was so frightened that it rolled forward on the ground.

Upon realizing it was Brother Chicken flying overhead, Big Yellow barked loudly, and tears streamed down its face. Brother Chicken, my Brother Chicken!

Once Ji Cheng was sure no one was chasing Da Huang, he landed in front of Da Huang and asked him how he had escaped from the Zhao residence and why Zhao Kun hadn't noticed him.
"Woof woof woof woof..." After recovering from his shock, Da Huang, with tears in his eyes, told Ji Cheng everything that had just happened at the Zhao residence.

Ji Cheng only half understood what he heard. After asking some questions, he finally understood what Da Huang had just experienced.

"You mean, Zhao Kun removed a piece of bone from your body?"

This is truly bizarre.

Judging from the fact that Zhao Kun was able to discover the identity of the Great Yellow Beast, Zhao Kun's strength must already be considerable.

Da Huang also relayed to Ji Cheng everything Zhao Kun had said at the time.

Ji Cheng analyzed for a while and then asked, "Dahuang, what happened to you before you were treated by Master Zhao?"

Big Yellow shook its head. It couldn't remember anything about what happened before it came to the Zhao family, and it couldn't recall any related memories no matter what it did.

Ji Cheng had asked this question before, and Da Huang had the same reaction then.

Since that's the case, Ji Cheng couldn't come to any conclusion either. He said, "But judging from Zhao Kun's attitude towards you, you don't need to be nervous. He probably doesn't intend to kill you."

The current problem is whether or not Da Huang should return to the Zhao residence.
"Wang Wang Wang!"

Big Yellow barked anxiously, as if to say, "Brother Chicken, you make it sound so simple. Why don't you go back to the Zhao residence?"
Ji Cheng smiled. "This silly dog, I asked you to come to the Cui family with me before, but you wouldn't go. Now you're a stray dog, aren't you?"
However, at this moment, he couldn't possibly tell Dahuang his human identity, as he wasn't sure if Dahuang was hiding any secrets.

"Calm down, Da Huang. Don't be like a frightened bird. Since you're not going back to the Zhao residence, why don't you go to Mangshan and keep Old Bai company?"

Ji Cheng comforted Da Huang.

He almost laughed. Wasn't Da Huang very loyal to the Zhao family? Why was he now so unwilling to return to the Zhao family no matter what?

Big Yellow barked and, after thinking for a while, gestured for Ji Cheng to go to Python Mountain first.

"Wang!"

It barked again, as if telling Ji Cheng to get some barbecue. It had been suffering terribly eating leftovers every day at the Zhao residence lately.

"Okay, no problem. Tsk tsk, so pitiful. Look how hungry the child is, as thin as a dog."

"Wang Wang!"

Da Huang shouted at Ji Cheng, "Don't you think you're being funny?"
After that, the chicken and the dog went their separate ways.

Dahuang went to the mountains to hunt some wild game, while Jicheng returned to Wuzhen and called Little Rabbit, Aniu, and Xiaohua, agreeing to meet up at Mangshan.

About half an hour later, the back of Mangshan Mountain became lively.

The demons were overjoyed and excited to see Dahuang again, and the Azure Flame Rabbit even jumped onto Dahuang's back and squeaked.

Ji Cheng was in charge of using fire to roast the wild game.

Ignoring everyone's greetings, Da Huang immediately picked up a garlic-scented wild boar and began to devour it, practically wolfing it down, as if he were starving.

Its appearance really amused everyone; it looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is how Dahuang was able to get out?

Big Yellow barked, but unfortunately the demons couldn't understand him at all, so they had to rely on Ji Cheng, the translator chicken, to explain the situation.

Ji Cheng recounted how Zhao Kun had discovered Da Huang's identity at the Zhao residence.

The Azure Flame Rabbit squeaked and asked Big Yellow what his plans were next.
After eating voraciously for a while, Big Yellow's belly was already slightly bloated. Faced with the little rabbit's question, it looked quite confused.

To be honest, it still didn't want to leave the Zhao family mansion. It was reluctant to part with them, as it had long regarded Master Zhao and Zhao Yan, along with other members of the Zhao family, as its own relatives.

Back then, when the wolf demon attacked, it risked its life to protect the Zhao family.

It ran away from the Zhao residence in a frenzy just now, mainly because it was frightened. Now that it has calmed down, it still wants to risk returning to the Zhao residence.

The little rabbit and the python demon analyzed the situation for it and felt that Zhao Kun really didn't have any ill intentions towards Da Huang. Otherwise, he could have easily imprisoned it with a spell, so how could it have escaped?

Ji Cheng didn't express his opinion. He didn't want to persuade Da Huang to return to the Zhao family or leave the Zhao family. He let Da Huang decide for himself.

If we don't go back to the Zhao residence, we'll stay here and keep the python demon company.

Big Yellow turned its head and glanced at the python demon. It wanted to tell Ji Cheng that compared to this python demon, the Zhao residence seemed to be safer...

With so many companions around, it wasn't afraid, but if it were alone with this python demon, it feared the python demon might suddenly become wild and swallow it whole.

In the end, after much deliberation, Da Huang decided to return to the Zhao residence.

This time it was smarter; as soon as it sensed something was wrong, it took off running. Anyway, its leg wasn't lame anymore, so it could run fast.

"Okay, if you get the chance, just yell. Zhao Kun should still be wary of you waking up the rest of the Zhao family."

Ji Cheng nodded and said that Zhao Kun is still playing the role of the second young master of the Zhao family, which means that he is still wary of something and afraid of exposing something.

Big Yellow barked once, indicating that it remembered.

Then, Da Huang was surprised to find out, "Brother Chicken, when did you break through to the first-tier monster level?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Big Yellow asked what had happened while he was gone, and also, "Brother Chicken, where did you go?"
The demons all burst into laughter.

The Azure Flame Rabbit leaped over and grabbed Ji Cheng's chicken by the neck, signaling that Ji Cheng should not tell Da Huang yet.

Then, it squeaked and proudly told Big Yellow about what had happened during this time, especially Brother Chicken's battle against the third-level monkey demon on Monkey Mountain. It wanted to give Big Yellow a good shock.
