Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 46 Identity Exposed
Actually, Da Huang was just curious about what kind of being had injured this demon chicken like this.

It can understand cockfighting.

It simply couldn't understand which fighting cock in Wuzhen could possibly injure Ji Cheng.

"If you ask me, this fighting rooster is really something else. It's won so many matches in a row and has never lost, right?"

Madam Zhao looked at Ji Cheng with surprise.

Zhao Yan applied the medicine to him, gently placed him on the ground, and began to groom his feathers.

Zhao Kun joked, "Of all the people in our Zhao family, this chicken is the most useful!"

Everyone laughed when he said that.

Zhao Yan said, "This chicken is a lucky star for our Zhao family."

No one denied it.

During the Zhao family's difficult times, this fighting rooster won so much silver for them; it should be treated like an ancestor.

Master Zhao suggested changing the name of the ever-victorious general to "Chicken Overlord," the overlord among chickens, how majestic and powerful!

However, the women of the Zhao family unanimously opposed it, feeling that the name was too inelegant and how could anyone pronounce it?
Master Zhao chuckled awkwardly and had no choice but to give up.

After everyone had left, only a chicken and a dog remained in the backyard.

"Wang!"

The big yellow dog seemed eager to strike up a conversation, wanting to ask Chicken Bro, "What happened to the injuries on your body?"

"Cuckoo!"

Ji Cheng responded.

"Wang!"

Big Yellow got anxious and said, "Brother Chicken, speak like a human! Who can understand your chicken talk?"

"Cuckoo!"

How could Ji Cheng possibly speak human language in broad daylight?

Helpless, Da Huang gave up trying to communicate, lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and went to sleep, his tail swaying leisurely from side to side.

Ji Cheng went to the cage and stayed there, carefully examining his injuries.

After he used his demonic power to heal himself, all that remained were superficial wounds, which he deliberately left to show others.

He sighed silently.

After being injured, it won't be taken out for cockfighting for the next few days. Now the Zhao family cherishes their fighting cock very much.

"Chicken King plus drugs, is this Zhou Mu's scheme?"

Ji Cheng easily figured out who was behind Xu Dingsheng. With Su Xianzi and the Green Bamboo Gang blocking his way, he decided to use cockfighting as a pretext to scheme against the Zhao family.

However, Zhou Mu never expected that even after giving the Chicken King drugs, he still couldn't beat the Zhao family's fighting rooster.

"Sigh," Ji Cheng sighed, feeling deeply that he had interfered too much in the Zhao family's affairs, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

To be honest, he was even considering running away. Who knew what other tricks Zhou Mu would use against the Zhao family?

But then he thought about how the Zhao family had a big yellow dog to absorb demonic energy and Zhao Yan to take advantage of.

These benefits aren't available elsewhere.

Given that my skill level is too low and it's not yet time for me to roam around, I'll just have to play it safe for a while longer.

at night.

Ji Cheng said he wanted to take Da Huang to get some meat to nourish his body, but unexpectedly a torrential rain started.

On the big poplar tree, the two magpie eggs have already hatched, and the magpie is protecting the two chicks under its body.

The rain in this season always falls at night and stops just before dawn.

……

Two days later.

In the Green Bamboo Gang, Su Qing was practicing a fire-controlling spell when her maid, A Tao, came in to report:

"Miss, a letter has arrived from home."

Su Qing took the letter, read it quickly, and was extremely shocked: "The Zhao family of Wuzhen are actually descendants of Foundation Establishment alchemists."

In recent days, the Su family has used many methods to finally find out the ancestral origins of the Zhao family in Wuzhen.

Su Qing thought for a moment, then took the letter and went to the Zhao family.

Accompanying her were her maid, Atao, and the Azure Flame Rabbit.

With Master Zhao and Zhao Qian at the head, the Zhao family warmly welcomed Fairy Su. "Master Zhao, I asked my family to investigate, and it is true that your Zhao family of Wuzhen had a Foundation Establishment stage alchemist in your ancestry."

"About four hundred years ago, that person was named Zhao Yang. He rose from humble beginnings and, with his outstanding talent in alchemy, became a Foundation Establishment Alchemist, making him famous in the region."

"But it seems he has made a powerful enemy outside, and his descendants have all died tragically. Only a few survived and secretly fled to a remote place, where they lived ordinary lives under assumed names. That is your Zhao family of Wuzhen."

The information revealed by Su Qing overturned everyone's understanding of the Zhao family.

It turns out that Zhou Mu wasn't crazy; his Zhao family really were descendants of Foundation Establishment stage alchemists.

"No, Fairy Su, no, our Zhao family has a history of 650 years in Wuzhen, which is clearly recorded in our family genealogy."

Master Zhao waved his hand, indicating that the timing didn't match and Fairy Su must have made a mistake.

"The family genealogy was falsified."

Su Qing said calmly.

She didn't need to look to know that Zhao's ancestors had to forge identities to escape their enemies.

After arriving in Wuzhen, the contents of the genealogy may be true, but before arriving in Wuzhen, the names and deeds on it were all fabricated.

"This……"

Mr. Zhao and his two sons looked at each other, finding it hard to accept the news.

There are ancestral tablets displayed in the house for each of our ancestors. Are you saying that some of these tablets are fake?

At this moment, the maid Atao spoke up, saying that the Su family's information sources were absolutely accurate and that they had no need to doubt it.

The Zhao family members looked at each other in bewilderment. Since both the Zhou and Su families said so, it probably couldn't be false.

Master Zhao nodded, accepting the fact that he was a descendant of Zhao Yang, a Foundation Establishment alchemist, but he immediately clarified that they really did not have any immortal pills passed down from their ancestors.

Su Qing smiled and said that she was not someone who coveted your elixir.

Zhao Qian quickly stepped forward to explain that that was not what he meant.

"Who is that formidable enemy? Has Fairy Su found out?"

It was Zhao Kun who asked the crucial question.

Su Qing shook her head: "Four hundred years have passed, that enemy may not still be alive."

Hearing this, the Zhao family members were somewhat relieved.

That's right. Even the Foundation Establishment alchemy ancestor has long since turned into a handful of dust. How could that powerful enemy possibly be alive today?

After delivering this information, Su Qing prepared to leave, politely declining the Zhao family's generous invitation to a banquet.

Suddenly, the Azure Flame Rabbit on her shoulder jumped down and landed in front of the big yellow dog.

At that moment, Da Huang felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know whether to call out or not, so he just stood there dumbfounded.

The Azure Flame Rabbit moved closer and sniffed Big Yellow carefully.

Then, it turned around, came to the cage, and smelled Ji Cheng's scent.

"Squeak!"

The Azure Flame Rabbit suddenly cried out.

Like Da Huang, Ji Cheng felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that the spirit rabbit had sensed the demonic aura emanating from them?

The Zhao family was completely bewildered by this scene, having no idea what was going on with Fairy Su's spirit pet.

Su Qing's expression immediately turned serious, and she asked, "Xiao Qing, is there anything unusual about this dog and this chicken?"

"Squeak!"

The Azure Flame Rabbit jumped onto Su Qing's shoulder again and barked twice.

I couldn't understand, but seeing Su Qing's relaxed reaction, I knew she hadn't discovered Da Huang and Ji Cheng's identities as demon beasts.

"Master Zhao, we'll be taking our leave now. Please wait a moment."

Su Qing left the Zhao residence with her maid and spirit pet.

Ji Cheng was secretly amazed; this spirit rabbit had such keen senses.

At this moment, while everyone was seeing their guests off at the door, Da Huang smiled at Ji Cheng, pleased that his identity as a demon beast had not been exposed.

"That stupid dog!"

Ji Cheng shook his head silently.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Azure Flame Rabbit had actually discovered that he and Da Huang were demonic beasts, but for some reason, it didn't reveal them to Su Qing.
