Chapter 29: Appointment

  Yang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Kill one by one? I'm not as ruthless as you!"

  Zi Yunzi let out a dissatisfied hum and said: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me killing them? They were the ones who owed me first!"

  Yang Chen was also helpless about Can Yunzi's idea, and shook his head, walking away into the distance.

  Yang Chen returned to his room and found Xiao Xue practicing, so he didn't disturb her. He walked to the side of his bed, wanting to take out the painting and hide it under the bed.

  "You stinky kid, from now on you must carry this painting with you at all times, don't hide it or put it down carelessly!" The voice of Can Yunzi suddenly appeared in Yang Chen's mind.

  Yang Chen was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Why? If this painting is always carried on one's person, wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

  "You fool, this painting has now absorbed your Qi Gathering Pill, I can control some of it and reflect it back to you! This will help with your cultivation!" Yun Yunzi said somewhat angrily.

  Yang Chen nodded understandingly and lay down on his bed, staring at the ceiling as he thought about what had happened today.

  "Stop thinking about it, your main task now is to rest well and seize the time to cultivate, strive to practice spiritual energy in your body as soon as possible!" The voice of Can Yunzi appeared directly in Yang Chen's mind.

  Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

  In the morning, sunlight passed through the window and shone directly on Yang Chen's face.

  Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes, yawned, and looked at Little Snow beside him. Seeing that Little Snow was still meditating, he took a deep breath, showed a determined face, stood up directly, and walked outside to cultivate.

  "You little stinker, this little fox of yours is quite interesting! It's always cultivating at all times, what a pity! What a pity!" The voice of Can Yunzi suddenly appeared in Yang Chen's mind.

  Yang Chen was taken aback and stopped in his tracks at the door, asking puzzled: "Why is it a pity?"

  Zi Yunzi smiled and said, "It is a demon. Although the method you taught it to cultivate has some effect, demons are different from humans. Humans with good qualifications can usually cultivate spiritual energy in a few years, but demons are not the same. They often need to cultivate for hundreds of years to refine their spiritual energy. If it wants to transform into human form, it will take at least 700 years after refining its spiritual energy, and that's assuming it has a good cultivation method. Otherwise, even if it takes 1,000 years, it may still be difficult for it to transform into human form."

  Yang Chen furrowed his brow and turned around to glance at his own room before saying, "Senior, do you have any way to help it?"

  Now Xiaoxue and Yangchen have been together for more than 4 months, if you say there is no feeling, that's a lie.

  The old man chuckled and said with some pride, "In my heyday, I had hunted down countless powerful demons and obtained some cultivation methods suitable for demon cultivators from them. However... even so, it would still take several hundred years to cultivate spiritual energy before they could start practicing."

  Yang Chen furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before saying, "Senior, give me a demonic cultivation method! I want to pass it on to Xiaoxue."

  Zi Yunzi burst out laughing and said: "I didn't think you little brat still had feelings and righteousness! Haha!"

  He paused for a moment and continued: "This cultivation method can be given to you, but it cannot be given to you for free!"

  "Senior, what do you want?" Yang Chen asked in puzzlement.

  Zi Yunzi smiled cunningly: "You have to work hard to cultivate, when you practice out of spiritual energy I can give it to you, and this also has a time limit, that is one year's time, within a year if you successfully cultivated then I will give it to you, if not then I won't give it to you!"

  Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Alright then! As long as I can only refine spiritual energy once a year, you'll give me the demon's cultivation method!"

  Zi Yunzi burst out laughing and said: "Don't worry, what I've said is like spilled water, I will never go back on my word!"

  "It's settled in one word!"

  After finishing speaking, Yang Chen turned around and walked directly towards the edge of the cliff...

  Yang Chen arrived at the edge of the Dao Mountain cliff and found that Wang Rui was already cultivating there, but Zhao Qian was not here.

  Yang Chen smiled coldly in his heart and walked directly to the other side, sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of cultivation.

  As soon as Yang Chen entered the state of cultivation, a very fine cyan mist emanated from the painting and directly penetrated into his body through the surface.

  This extremely fine blue mist is the spiritual energy that this painting has absorbed from the Gathering Spirit Pill and is now emitting back out.

  As soon as the spiritual energy entered his body, he felt that all the pores on his body were instantly opened, refreshing and comfortable to the extreme.

  The morning passed in an instant, and a burst of noise awakened Yang Chen from his meditation. He immediately turned his head towards the direction where the sound came from.

  "Wang Rui, you son of a bitch, are you going to return my Qi-gathering pill or not!" Zhao Qian yelled at Wang Rui with a furious face, rolling up his sleeves and ready to fight at any moment.

  Wang Rui furiously shouted: "Zhao Qian, don't be too arrogant! I've told you hundreds of times already, it wasn't me who took the thing!"

  "Cut the crap! I'm telling you, Wang Rui, if you don't hand over the Gathering Qi Pill to me... I'll push you off this cliff!"

  After finishing speaking, Zhao Qian actually pulled Wang Rui and walked towards the edge of the mountain.

  Wang Rui was frightened by Zhao Qian's actions and hurriedly tried to break free from Zhao Qian's grasp, but Zhao Qian was originally stronger than Wang Rui. Adding to that, he was now furious, his strength had all burst out. Wang Rui struggled twice without any effect.

  Yang Chen looked at them with a frown as they were about to come to blows, hastily stood up and vigilantly gazed at the two of them.

  "Smelly brat, what a great opportunity! Don't these two have a grudge against you? Wait until they both walk to the edge of the cliff, then rush over and push them both down, haha!" The excited voice of Can Yunzi appeared in Yang Chen's mind.

  Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart stirred, but this idea was instantly strangled by him.

  Zhao Qian and Wang Rui are indeed detestable, but their crimes do not warrant death. Yang Chen is inherently kind-hearted, and to ask him to take a life is something he truly cannot bring himself to do.

  Just as Yang Chen was thinking, Zhao Qian and Wang Rui had already torn each other to the edge of the cliff.

  "Wang Rui, are you going to give it to me or not?!" Zhao Qian yelled at Wang Rui like a madman: "If you don't give it to me, I'll push you down!"

  Wang Rui said with a frightened face: "Zhao Qian, you're crazy! Are you serious?! I told you it wasn't me who stole it!"

  Zan Yunzi was overjoyed and hastily shouted: "You stinky little brat, hurry up and get to work, push them all down!"

  Yang Chen remained unmoved, standing still and coldly staring at Zhao Qian and Wang Rui.
