Chapter 67 - Day Lottery
When Xiang Yun returned to the crown prince"s residence, the news had immediately spread through the streets and alleys of Qin Feng City. Several brothels frequented by the crown prince had made preparations to welcome the crown prince.
The next morning, he opened the banner at the entrance of the shop, which read: "Welcome, Crown Prince."At the same time, all the girls in the house were also dressing themselves, wearing seductive or pure dresses. They stood in the room, waiting for the Crown Prince to arrive!
Similarly, in the gambling houses of Qin Feng City, there were also signs and banners, welcoming the young crown prince"s return. The betting houses had prepared the most beautiful dice girls and the most comfortable rooms for him.
It could be said that the return of the little prince had added a spark of life to the already flourishing business of the brothel gambling den in Qin Feng city!Of course, the main reason was because half of Qin Feng"s brothel gambling den belonged to Xiang Yun. Now that the boss had returned, these employees would naturally want to welcome him.
However, what surprised everyone was that the crown prince had not even taken half a step out of the mansion"s entrance for three days straight. These brothel gambling houses had all been thrown at the blind man for nothing!
Some people came to the Crown Prince"s Palace to ask about it, but they received news that the Crown Prince was recuperating at home and wouldn"t go out for some time.
Once this news was spread and he thought back to Master Xiang"s previous experience of nearly dying suddenly in the Hall of Phoenixes, it was rumored that he had exhausted all his energy. He could no longer take up the matters of men and women!This matter spread like wildfire. Everyone in the city knew about it. At that moment, the ladies of the brothels were all grieving for Qin Feng.
Who would have thought that such a generous and considerate and gentle guest like Xiang Yun would encounter such a calamity? He feared that from now on, he would no longer be able to visit these large and small brothels. The soft jade beds of these young ladies had collapsed.
As for Xiang Yun, who was in the crown prince"s residence, he remained locked in his own residence for the past three days, not even taking half a step out. During these three days, Xiang Yun"s daily meals had mostly been finished within his own residence as Lin Wan"er had personally delivered all three meals to him.His injuries had already healed on the first night he returned from Silver City. These past few days, Xiang Yun had dismissed all his servants outside the courtyard, while he himself was in a room in the courtyard, cultivating the Art of Creation Arts in seclusion!
The last time he had just cultivated the Art of Creation, he had hurried over to Silver City. Xiang Yun had not had the opportunity to practice this cultivation technique, but now that he had returned to Qin Feng City, Xiang Yun had made up his mind to practice it properly!
In fact, these three days of cultivation had really allowed Xiang Yun to figure out the profoundness of this cultivation technique.
At this moment, Xiang Yun was sitting at a table in a room. He used his index finger to tap lightly on the wall of a teacup in front of him.
Immediately after, a mysterious power surged out from his fingertip and actually wrapped around the teacup. Xiang Yun"s finger moved upwards as something miraculous happened.The teacup had been lifted along with Xiang Yun"s finger, just like a teacup flying through the air.
Xiang Yun gently put down his teacup, his face unable to help showing a trace of pleasant surprise.
"Wonderful, this is amazing! I never thought that Yun Li would have such an amazing use after becoming a Cloud Warrior! This is amazing!"
Xiang Yun discovered that the cloud energy within his body was incomparably flexible, as if it was a part of his body. It could actually temporarily leave his body, move objects around him, or attack him.
Xiang Yun thought that all of this was because he had become a Cloud martial artist, but he did not know that if his hand had been raised in the air just now, if any Yellow Cloud martial artist had seen it, they would have all been shocked!Perhaps being able to lift a teacup was nothing, but being able to control one"s cloud energy so well and even move a weak teacup around it.
Not to mention the fact that martial artists below Huang Yun could not release cloud power, even Huang Yun martial artists had very few people with such exquisite cloud control abilities.
The reason why Xiang Yun was able to do this was naturally not because he was an ordinary person with extraordinary talent. All of this was because of his cultivation technique, the Karmic Creation Art!
Ever since he had experienced the profoundness of the Art of Creation, Xiang Yun had been uncontrollably engrossed with his cultivation. Whenever he had the time, Xiang Yun would sit down cross-legged in the room and try to control his Yun Li at leisure!
Xiang Yun continuously cultivated in seclusion, at the same time also waiting for the system"s lottery draw for the seventh day of March.
Just like this, another seven days pa.s.sed. On the night of the 19th day of the lunar month, Xiang Yun was cultivating cross-legged on his bed as usual.
The latter circulated the Art of Creation within her body as a faint golden imprint appeared on her forehead. The dense cloud energy surrounding her poured into Xiang Yun"s body from his meridians!
A moment later, Xiang Yun"s brow creased slightly as a look of doubt appeared on his face. When he had been channeling the Art of Creation tonight, he had felt an indescribable sense of discomfort.
It was as if there was something in his meridians that was blocking the flow of the cloud energy, causing it to stagnate.
This feeling made Xiang Yun feel very uncomfortable. He tried to maintain his circulation, but even after a long time had pa.s.sed, he still could not see it disappear. Feeling somewhat anxious, Xiang Yun gritted his teeth and sped up the circulation speed of the Karmic Creation Art, increasing his absorption of the external cloud energy into his body!
At this moment, the cloud power quickly entered Xiang Yun"s chakra. The cloud power in his body flowed through his meridians and entered his golden spirit root through his dantian.
As the cloud power continued to enter, the feeling of stagnation not only did not disappear, but became more and more distinct. It was like a reactionary force that prevented the cloud power from continuing to flow into the spirit root!
However, Xiang Yun did not care, he just continued channeling his powers, the cloud power quickly converged and continued to rush into his spirit root. That feeling of stagnation had almost turned into substance, as if a barrier was formed, trying to block the cloud power that was continuing to enter his spirit root!
"Humph!"
Xiang Yun did not pay any attention to this. With a cold snort, a compressed cloud energy gathered within his body, charging at the entrance to his dantian"s spirit root!
In a split-second, the golden mark on Xiang Yun"s forehead lit up, illuminating the entire room with a golden light!
"Pfft!"
With a light sound from within Xiang Yun"s body, the brilliance between his eyebrows disappeared!
Within Xiang Yun"s dantian"s spirit root, an invisible, clear stream spread and fused into Xiang Yun"s body. It was as if a spring rain had descended onto a barren wasteland.
Xiang Yun felt that every cell in his body was cheering in joy, greedily sucking in this invisible stream. As it continued to be absorbed, Xiang Yun"s body was rapidly growing stronger at a speed that he could sense!
"Hu!"
After a long while, Xiang Yun breathed out from his bed and opened his spirited eyes, a look of pleasant surprise within them!
"He actually advanced!"
Xiang Yun could clearly feel that the cloud energy within his body had increased by a great amount, and the strength of his body had also risen by a level. Right now, he was several times stronger than when he was a martial artist of Eryun!Xiang Yun jumped off the bed and directly threw a punch towards Zhang Tie and Li Mu!
"Bam!"A dull sound echoed out.
The several cases that weighed nearly a hundred jin were actually sent flying far away by Xiang Yun"s fist, heavily smashing against one of the walls of the house. Once again, they produced a m.u.f.fled sound, causing dust and sawdust to fall all over the house!
"Holy sh * t, that was awesome!"
Xiang Yun looked at his fist, not daring to believe his own eyes. This was actually something that he could do! If this fist"s strength had been displayed in his previous life, then even those world"s fist kings would be ashamed of themselves.
Xiang Yun thought back to the time when he had just arrived here, where he would have fainted from running just a few hundred metres. His body would be weak like a sick chicken, and couldn"t help but sigh emotionally.He never thought that in such a short span of half a month, he would have become so strong. This was unbelievable!
"The cultivation method of this alternate world is indeed mysterious!" Xiang Yun could not help but sigh!
However, what Xiang Yun did not know was that with his cultivation speed, even with the aid of the Five Poison Wine, he had increased his cultivation base by one cloud.
However, in the short span of half a month, his cultivation had increased from zero to a Three Cloud Martial Disciple. If others were to know about his speed, they would probably be shocked to the core.
One had to know that the path of cultivation was built up over time. Only by constantly cultivating and absorbing the cloud energy from the heaven and earth could one"s cultivation increase. The more spiritual roots one had, the faster their cultivation speed would be.
Even Xiang Yun"s two elder brothers, a genius with forty spiritual roots, took more than a year to cultivate to the Three Cloud Stage. Xiang Yun, this martial artist with spiritual roots, was actually cultivating at a speed that was more than ten times faster than them.Although it was already late at night, he could not help but bounce up and down the room, his fists and feet flying everywhere. From time to time, he would pat the table, kick the chairs, and let out a cheer.
If not for the fact that the servant of the house had already been moved away, and the shadow of the door was in sight, everyone might have thought that the Crown Prince could not sleep at night and was jumping big ropes in his room.
Xiang Yun"s ruckus had actually lasted until the early hours of the morning. Just as the latter was about to take a bath and rest, an emotionless mechanical voice suddenly resounded in his mind.
"The lottery draw for the Qing Ming Festival begins. Host can start the lottery draw!""What!?"
In the instant that the voice rang out, Xiang Yun could tell that this was precisely the voice that he had been thinking about day and night, the voice of the Golden Soldier, Wuxia"s System!
"Holy sh * t, there"s even a system lottery draw for the Qingming Festival!"
Xiang Yun jumped up in excitement. He had originally been complaining about how, in this d.a.m.ned System, only the first time they had drawn the lottery, it had rewarded him with an additional lottery chance. He would then have to forcibly wait for a month.Who would have thought that the System would hear his complaint and immediately show a human-like side to him? And there was even the festival lottery!
Unable to wait any longer, Xiang Yun immediately sat back on the bed. With a thought, he entered into the Golden Elegance Warrior System. Once again, he experienced the wondrous feeling of having no body, only the existence of consciousness!
As soon as he returned to the system, another meteor shower flashed before Xiang Yun"s eyes, countless starlight converging to form a gigantic disk in front of him. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."The moment Xiang Yun saw this enormous disc, if it were not for the fact that he was unable to touch it, he would have rushed forward to give it a fierce kiss!
"I"ve missed you so much!"
"The Jin Yong Wuxia System"s lottery draw has started. Host can prepare to draw at any time!" The System"s" friendly "voice rang out once more.
