Chapter 284: Chapter 224: Pursuer_2

Yan Xiaobao had already learned how to suppress the red mist with as little energy and effort as possible, but his current level was too low to truly control it. He couldn’t activate it, nor did he have the ability to keep it calm within the cave.

In this aspect, the tranquil blue cloud was much simpler. This tranquility was typically the kind Xiao Bao activated to suppress his killing intent. When his consciousness touched it, the cloud would be activated, and unlike the red mist, when traveling through meridians, the blue cloud emitted a cool and calming energy.

Under the influence of the blue cloud, Yan Xiaobao could calmly understand and react to the happenings around him, with his keen senses seeming to observe everything in slow motion.

This tranquil feeling was easy to control. As long as Yan Xiaobao willed it, the cloud would gather from the meridians and return to the caves, calmly waiting to be summoned by Hui Yue next time.

The blue cloud’s other benefit was that it increased Xiao Bao’s cultivation techniques, allowing an improved Qi ratio, but all these advantages came with downsides.

Every time Yan Xiaobao used the red mist or the blue cloud, the mist would gradually diminish with the energy used. If one type of energy was used more than the other, an imbalance would occur within Yan Xiaobao, leading to the opposite energy leaking; this could plunge him into a frantic killing state or an isolated tranquil state.

As Yan Xiaobao exhausted all energy, when both caves were completely emptied, it would take a full month for the mist to restore to its original size.

The cause of these two unknown phenomena was something Yan Xiaobao absolutely did not know, even though Lan Feng seemed to fail to see either, spending an hour each day in the cave observing the contrasting powers.

"One day," Lan Feng sighed, "one day, when you become stronger, we’ll be able to find out the results and causes of these phenomena."

"What about the other caves?" Yan Xiaobao asked curiously, looking at the sealed entrance of the other caves, but inwardly he saw nothing, nor did any energy emanate. They were completely sealed off.

"When they open, they will open," Lan Feng said indifferently to the world. To this ancient Phoenix, everything that happened was exciting and was something new, bringing thrill and great promise to Yan Xiaobao’s future.

Winter was turning into spring as beautiful flowers sprouted from the cold soil. Soon, the snow melted, the sun rose, and spring turned into summer. Yan Xiaobao had been at the academy for almost a year now. The Rong’s annual visit to the Magic Forest time had come.

"This year you must come with us," Rong Ming said with a beaming smile. "Since the two of us broke into the ranks of practitioners, we’ll lose the guards this year. Perhaps we can even invite others to enjoy a pleasant journey!"

Hearing Rong Ming speak of the Magic Forest as a playful destination brought a slight smile to Yan Xiaobao, although he indeed thought it a good idea to have six people go together. If they were all together, as long as they did not wander too far in the forest, they should be able to survive.

Yan Xiaobao couldn’t help but feel a tinge of excitement in his heart as he also realized it would be the first time in a year that he could visit his parents.

Though Yan Xiaobao was born with the mindset of a twenty-four-year-old, he also knew he was deeply cared for by his new parents.

Hui Lifen as his mother did her utmost, and though they were poor, Yan Xiaobao always had everything he needed. Yan Xiaobao also valued his father greatly, but nothing in the world compares to a mother’s love, an experience Yan Xiaobao looked forward to reliving once more.

Another thing Yan Xiaobao anticipated was finally letting his friends see where he came from. So far, only the Rong twins knew of his humble background.

He had told Gao Yan, Ma Kong, and Deng Wu about his family, but they all expected to see a wild man who fought daily against Demon Beasts. They expected to see a wild tribe dwelling on savage lands.

The truth was not aligned with their expectations, but every time Yan Xiaobao tried to correct their impressions, they wouldn’t listen to him. Eventually, he entirely gave up trying, deciding instead to show them. These five young people were those to whom Yan Xiaobao entrusted his deepest secrets and most sensitive information.

Having reached the disciple level, with his cultivation techniques evolving into his own copy, his refining speed was now much faster than ever before.

On the other hand, the Rong twins had not made smooth progress due to their Qi purity being lower, with only a few Constant Stars breaking through in the last half-year.

Rong Ming had stepped into the two-star physician level, while Rong Xing was now a three-star physician. The twins both heavily relied on Yan Xiaobao’s limitless supply of pills, consuming Qi Medicine as if it were candy.

These pills allowed their previous Qi purity to surpass the average, making the pearl white, though lacking luster and sheen, they were still enough for both of them to enter the master rank later on.

Though Yan Xiaobao’s cultivation technique hadn’t changed much, it was still unable to compare to the cultivation speed used by Gao Yan.

Gao Yan was using a cultivation technique very similar to Hui Yue’s, relying on one of the constellations within it, and this particular technique sacrificed some purity for rapid advancement. Yet, compared to the world’s average cultivator, its purity was still considered very good.

Relying on this cultivation technique, Gao Yan spent half a year focused on constant cultivating, resulting in his breaking into the ranks of physicians in a short time.

Seeing Gao Yan successfully move through the student rankings during these months almost made Yan Xiaobao cough up blood. His ten years of hard work suddenly seemed wasted.

If not for the slightly different Qi Pool purity, Yan Xiaobao would spend time finding a method to beat Lan Feng into introducing him to this slow and arduous technique.

During these months, Ma Kong had reached the nine-star disciple level, and he had been gifted by Yan Xiaobao with a box of pills, hoping to aid him in breaking through to the physician level before their departure to the Magic Forest.

Formally, Deng Wu was also at the nine-star disciple level, gifted a box of Mixed Medicine. Some were Qi Medicine, and others were Qi Boosting Pills.

While everyone expected Deng Wu to break into the physician level, he was actually breaking into the main rank. The first among them all to unlock the Middle Dantian as a cultivator.

Yan Xiaobao, himself, had reached the third star in the disciple level, during which time he perfected the transforming weapon, Sword Style.

Even though Yan Xiaobao’s sword style was perfect, he could not compete with a Sword Master, yet his skills were not lacking, constantly improving by practicing the sword movements he had previously taught himself.

Initially, Yan Xiaobao had no intention of developing more weapon skills, but after hearing they would be entering the Magic Forest as a group of six, he quickly picked up the bow style of the transforming weapon.

Another day took place, and suddenly the journey was getting ready to begin. To procure the necessities for such a long trip, Yan Xiaobao went to Liluo City, where his first stop was a high-end Memory Stone store.

Yan Xiaobao purchased two large-capacity Memory Stones. These large-capacity Memory Gems were the size of a fist, yet light as a feather. The stones were embedded into a small pouch, which was crafted to hang on a belt for quick access.

Before continuing his spree, Yan Xiaobao quickly hung one of these memory stone pouches on his belt.

One Memory Stone was quickly filled with assorted meats. Some were fresh, others cured. Some were smoked with salt. Grains and wheat were stocked in sacks, barley, and other rice. Fabrics of various qualities accompanied the food, with beverages being the last addition. Some of the drinks he bought included rice wine, barley beer, and fruit wine.

Finally, Yan Xiaobao entered a bank, where he purchased a coin storage Memory Stone, placing three thousand gold coins into it. Gold coins were easier to use than spiritual gold coins, and after doing this, he tucked the coin Memory Stone into his first purchased Memory Stone.
