Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 95 Living Off a Woman (Please Subscribe)

Ji Cheng did not appear; he merely watched from afar.

The Azure Flame Rabbit and the two demonic beasts didn't play for long. They merely bumped heads, exchanged information, and then returned to Fairy Su.

It felt that without Brother Chicken and Big Yellow, it was no fun at all and had little interest.

The bull demon and the masked fox also went home. Strangely, Ji Cheng did not see where the bull demon went.

The bull demon always disappeared into the weeds and was never seen again.

It must possess a very powerful secret technique for concealing its aura and form.

Ji Cheng didn't delve into the matter; as long as his friends were safe and sound, he was relieved.

After staring at the Zhao family for a while, Ji Cheng flapped his wings and flew away.

Ji Cheng had no intention of alerting Zhao Kun. If he launched an attack on Zhao Kun, he could force him to reveal his cultivation level.

However, this would mean Zhao Kun wouldn't have to go through the trouble of pretending, and whether that would be a good thing or a bad thing for the Zhao family is hard to say.

At least for now, Zhao Kun is still trying his best to play the role of "second young master" and has not done anything harmful to the Zhao family.

Ji Cheng moved extremely fast, and in no time he arrived at a place two hundred miles east of Wuzhen.

This is another village or town, sparsely populated and far less bustling than Wuzhen.

Ji Cheng chose a wasteland and began practicing his [Feather Blade] talent.

If he wasn't mistaken, every time a demon beast breaks through a major realm, it awakens a new innate divine ability.

Since the vast majority of demonic beasts cannot practice human magic, these innate supernatural abilities are their means of survival.

Like this chicken demon, its first-tier talent is [Feather Blade], which makes the feathers on its wings as hard as iron and as sharp as blades.

"Shh!"

Ji Cheng suddenly flapped his wings, shooting out three feather blades that pierced through the tree trunk, which was half a meter in diameter.

Then, he dodged and weaved, shooting out more than a dozen feather blades in several directions, piercing through rocks and trees with astonishing accuracy and destructive power.

Each of these feather blades is of comparable quality to weapons forged from fine iron by humans, making them top-grade among ordinary weapons.

After these feather blades are shot out, new feather blades will be re-formed from the missing feathers using demonic power.

"How many feather blades can I fire at most right now?"

Upon realizing this, Ji Cheng unleashed a series of feather blades until his demonic power was exhausted.

There are a total of 258 feather blades.

This is his limit as a first-tier demon beast in its early stages.

As for the two golden feathers, they are not included.

These two golden feathers are a killing move, far surpassing ordinary feather blades in both power and speed.

If we really have to compare them, these two golden feathers might be comparable to a first-tier Xuan weapon.
"Hmm? I can actually sense the location of the feather blades that shot out?"

Ji Cheng's eyes lit up; he suddenly understood the wonderful use of the [Feather Blade] talent.

Release the blade!

With a thought, the feather blades that had been shooting in all directions flew back in an instant and were caught by Ji Cheng.

The feather blade flew back faster than it had when it was launched, piercing through everything in its path.

Swish!
Ji Cheng suddenly unleashed a burst of energy, sending 258 feather blades shooting out simultaneously, filling the sky with flying feathers!
The scene was truly spectacular.

"This sudden release of the blade caught us completely off guard!"

Ji Cheng was overjoyed. This combo was the correct way to use the [Feather Blade] talent.

The projectile blades are easy to dodge, but the returning blade is a deadly move that is extremely difficult to defend against.

By fully mastering this talent, even without relying on the power of several titles, Ji Cheng's current combat strength is by no means weak.

"Furthermore, after retrieving these feather blades, more than half of the consumed demonic power can be returned!"

Unless the feather blade is destroyed, it cannot be retrieved.

At this moment, Ji Cheng retrieved the feather blades that had been shot out, and each feather blade transformed into wisps of demonic energy, which he absorbed into his body.

If you feel it carefully, two-thirds of the demonic power that transformed into feather blades has returned to your body.

He thought for a moment, and realized that if he did that, he could use the feather blades again, which would bring the total number to more than 258.

Of course, this depends on the intensity of the battle; usually, there will be no chance to retrieve the feather blade before defeating the opponent.

Retrieving the feather blades is part of the battlefield cleanup phase.

Having figured all this out, Ji Cheng calmed down and began cultivating the "Fire Serpent Transformation".

Once his demonic power was exhausted, he flew back to the Cui family in Wuzhen.

……

The next morning, Ji Cheng went to the Niu Family Martial Arts School.

"Brother Er Gou, have some... have some pancakes."

Ah Niu enthusiastically offered Ji Cheng a few pancakes, grinning foolishly.

Ji Cheng took the pancakes and paused for a moment, realizing that they looked familiar. Why did they look so much like the pancakes that the bull demon had stolen and shared with his friends?

He stared at Ah Niu for a while, thinking to himself that the bull demon probably stole the pancakes from Ah Niu's house.

Before long, Zhao Yan arrived as well.

Seeing Ji Cheng eating pancakes while chatting with A Niu, Zhao Yan gave up the idea of ​​going over to say hello.

After that, Ji Cheng practiced boxing under Zhao Yan's guidance.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yan is a year younger than Ji Cheng, but Ji Cheng became a disciple later, so he still has to call her senior sister. After finishing a set of boxing, Ji Cheng said, "Senior sister, after today's boxing practice, I would like to go to your family's pharmacy to buy a set of body-tempering medicine."

"Do you have money?"

Zhao Yan raised an eyebrow and stared coldly at Ji Cheng, "A set of body-tempering medicinal herbs is not cheap."

"I have money, but didn't the old man say at yesterday's banquet that he could sell me the medicinal herbs I need for martial arts training at cost price?"

"Hey, you're really shameless. That was just the old man being polite, and you actually took it seriously?"

"Then...then I'll just buy it at the original price. It's not like I'm short of money; my master's wife gave me quite a bit of silver!"

Seeing that Ji Cheng was somewhat angry, Zhao Yan stared at him for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"I was just teasing you. Come with me after you finish your boxing practice today."

After saying that, Zhao Yan turned and walked away.

The surrounding disciples were all stunned. They had never seen Zhao Yan smile like that before. It was truly beautiful.

In the afternoon, after leaving the Niu Family Martial Arts School, Ji Cheng followed Zhao Yan to the Zhao Family Pharmacy.

Zhao Yan went in and soon came out carrying two bags of medicinal herbs, which were two sets of body-tempering herbs.

Ji Cheng originally intended to take only one dose, but seeing the situation, he didn't say anything more and prepared to pay for two doses of medicine.

"Who wants your money? Consider these two doses of medicine a gift from me."

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Yan's icy face. Without giving Ji Cheng a chance to explain, she told him to take it.

These two sets of body-tempering medicinal herbs are worth at least ten or twenty taels of silver.

Ji Cheng felt very embarrassed and insisted on paying, but Zhao Yan turned around and glared at him fiercely, which frightened him so much that he had to give up.

Afterwards, Ji Cheng thanked Zhao Yan and took his leave, returning to the Cui family.

"Sigh, how did I end up living off a woman?"

Ji Cheng himself found it all baffling. In fact, with the title of "Copy Chicken," he had no shortage of money or medicinal herbs.

He bought the body-tempering herbs just to cover his tracks. Otherwise, where did your herbs come from? You have to give an explanation, right?
He thought about it and realized that he must have fabricated a very tragic backstory, and Zhao Yan was just sympathizing with him.

"Ergou, you're back? Hey, come on, it's time to eat!"

Cui Sheng prepared dinner and waited for Ji Cheng to return.

Ji Cheng placed the medicinal herbs down, washed his hands, and then sat down at the table.

After the meal, Ji Cheng began to prepare the medicinal bath, with Cui Sheng helping him and teaching him a lot about medicinal baths.

Sitting in the bathtub, Ji Cheng began practicing the Bull Demon Breathing Technique.

An hour later, after absorbing all the medicinal power, the body's qi and blood became even stronger.

"No, this won't do, it's not a good thing."

The medicinal bath was extremely effective, and the best frequency was once every two or three days, but Ji Cheng thought it over and over and felt that it was not appropriate.

Using up a set of body-tempering medicinal herbs in two days—where did these herbs come from? Cui Sheng would definitely be suspicious.

If he were to buy it from a pharmacy, Ji Cheng's money would soon run out, and it wouldn't be realistic to keep taking advantage of the Zhao family for free.

The key to practicing medicinal baths is to avoid being seen or heard by Cui Sheng.

Ji Cheng thought for a moment and came up with two ideas: one was to send Cui Sheng away, and the other was to find a secluded place to soak in a medicinal bath and cultivate.

He found Cui Sheng and said, "Uncle Cui, didn't I hear you say a few days ago that you were planning to find a job at a security escort agency? How did it go?"

He wanted to see if he could get Cui Sheng away.

Escorting goods often meant being away for several days at a time, giving Ji Cheng the opportunity to enjoy some relaxing cultivation at home.

"Well, I did have that plan, but I need to take care of you. I have to cook for you at home, so I won't go to that escort agency."

Cui Sheng had just sent his daughter away, and now he had gained another son, Ji Cheng. How could he abandon Ji Cheng?

“Uncle Cui, you don’t need to worry about me. You should go work at the Zhenxi Escort Agency. There are two grown men in our family. We can’t be without income, or we’ll just be sitting around eating our savings away,” Ji Cheng advised.

Cui Sheng pondered, realizing that what he said made sense; in fact, he had almost spent all the money he had.

It's really frustrating not being able to find a way to make money. He had been thinking about getting married again, but now he can't even afford to support Ji Cheng's martial arts training, so what's the point of thinking about a wife?

"But how do you eat after you come back from martial arts practice every day?"

Cui Sheng asked with concern.

Ji Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "I can go to Uncle Zhao's house for meals and pay for them every month. I believe Uncle Zhao will agree."

That's one way to do it. Cui Sheng thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible.

He immediately agreed, saying that he would go to work at the Zhenxi Escort Agency the next day and discuss the matter of getting a free meal with the Zhao family.

the next day.

The matter was resolved smoothly.

Cui Sheng arrived at the martial arts school and informed Ji Cheng that, starting immediately, he would eat at the Zhao family's house every day, and that he had already paid the food expenses to the Zhao family.

He was going to work for the Zhenxi Escort Agency and would return every three to five days. Ji Cheng would have to take care of himself during the rest of the time.

"Okay, Uncle Cui, please be careful when you're escorting the goods."

This suited Ji Cheng perfectly. From now on, he would be the only one in the Cui family's old house most of the time, which would give him much more freedom.

In addition, another shocking piece of news came out this morning.

That was when Guo Laosi died at home, devoured by wild beasts until only a pile of bones remained. His two wives were terrified and had already packed their bags and returned to their parents' home.

Needless to say, this must be the work of the "Mountain God".
