Chapter 58: Conflict
"You are at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage and you’re the highest in the Yin family?" Wang Yu looked surprised.
"The Yin family faced a great disaster in the past, and the Foundation Establishment ancestors and many elite family members all perished in that calamity. Otherwise, how could the Yin family have fallen to this state?"
"However, if you join the Four Elephant Gate, our Yin family can remain in this Cuyun Mountain spiritual realm and have another chance to prosper again," Yin Linglong noticed Wang Yu’s confusion and explained briefly.
"Spiritual realm! Does this Cuyun Mountain have a spiritual vein?" Wang Yu’s spirit lifted upon hearing this.
"Of course it does! Although it’s just a small first-tier spiritual vein, it is enough for a family’s needs."
This room is a guest chamber in the family master’s courtyard; the Spirit Qi here is even purer than in other places. You can cultivate well here, and I will have Little Mei prepare some items to assist you in your training.
"Every time you improve your skills, it will help a lot during the entrance test," Yin Linglong advised.
Wang Yu listened and naturally agreed, but he also mentioned that he wanted to see the miscellaneous books collected by the Yin family.
Yin Linglong thought for a moment and agreed, giving him a key to the family master’s library in the courtyard.
The next day.
Wang Yu sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, with a light yellow cushion beneath him, and next to it was a blue incense burner with a brown incense stick inside, sending out a soothing scent of sandalwood.
Wang Yu’s eyes were slightly closed, his hands resting on his knees, and as he breathed in and out, faint wisps of cold air appeared around him.
The third day.
Wang Yu looked at the bowl and the dish on the table, his eyes wide open.
In the bowl were giant, light yellow grains of rice, each about the size of a finger, sparkling and plump, making one’s mouth water at first sight.
On the plate, there is a palm-sized piece of bright red meat, topped with a layer of green liquid that gives off a strong herbal fragrance.
"Spirit rice" "Demonic beast meat"
Wang Yu murmured softly, his face full of happiness.
The fifth day.
In a room of about fifty to sixty square meters.
Wang Yu stood in front of a dense bookshelf, quickly flipping through a thick book in his hands, with a faint glimmer visible in his eyes.
The cover of the book reads "Introduction to Pharmacology."
…
One day, half a month later.
While Wang Yu was sitting in the room, practicing his breathing exercises and feeling the magic inside him slowly growing, he suddenly heard a commotion and the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Young Master Meng, you cannot enter! There are guests of the family master inside," came the panicked voice of the maid, Little Mei, from outside.
"Get out of my way! I want to see who this guest is. My sister has actually given my training resources to him. It’s ruining my practice lately; I barely see any progress!"
A very angry young voice came from outside, followed by a loud bang as the door was kicked open.
A pockmarked boy in a fancy robe rushed in. As soon as he saw Wang Yu on the bed, he pointed a finger and glared with wide eyes.
"You…"
Before the boy could say anything, Wang Yu quickly jumped off the bed, moved swiftly, and got behind the boy, grabbing his collar and casually tossing him backward.
"Thud!"
The boy was thrown out like trash, landing in the flowers and bushes of the courtyard outside, falling hard and not getting up for a long time.
"Clang"
The door was closed by Wang Yu again, and a faint voice came from inside the house:
"This time, I am just warning you. If you come in again, the first time I will break your hand, the second time I will break your leg. If you make noise outside, I will break your mouth."
Outside, it became quiet for a moment, only the low groans of a young man could be heard, as if he was truly scared and dared not make much noise.
"You are very overbearing, do you know who you are hitting? Even if you are the guest of the family master, you cannot just let this go." Another unfamiliar man’s voice came, laced with barely controlled anger.
"If you are not satisfied, you can come in and try." Wang Yu had already returned to the bed and said with a cold laugh.
Having killed an opponent at the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage and even escaped from disciples of the sect, he would naturally not be frightened by them.
"Well, well, well, then I will experience it for myself." The man outside laughed angrily, and as soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open again.
This time, it was a young man with a scar on his face, strong in build, rushing in while swinging a thick wooden stick in his hand.
A cold light flashed in Wang Yu’s eyes, and he quickly moved from the bed again.
"Go die!"
The scarred young man took a deep breath; his arms suddenly grew thicker, and with a blur, he swung the wooden stick, bringing a fierce wind as it crashed towards Wang Yu’s head.
Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Yu’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t dodge at all. He raised his right hand and firmly grabbed the front end of the wooden stick.
"Ah!"
The scarred young man was shocked; he knew how heavy his blow was. He yelled and, with his arms trembling, tried to lift Wang Yu off the ground.
But Wang Yu remained completely still, and after a grunt, he exerted force with his fingers while quickly lifting his leg.
With a "bang," the front of the wooden stick shattered, and a gust of wind swept through as his powerful leg kicked the scarred young man in the stomach.
"Whoosh!"
The scar-faced young man let out a terrible scream and was thrown backward, flying seven or eight meters out of the main door before crashing heavily into the courtyard. Fortunately, he quickly got back up with a flip, but his face was extremely pale, with no trace of color left.
"Cousin, you…"
The young man in the brocade robe was startled and timidly wanted to ask something.
However, the scar-faced young man said nothing, turned around, and walked away, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
The boy’s face changed dramatically, and after struggling to get up, he also ran away.
The maid in the green dress, who had been standing outside the door, was left speechless, shocked by what she had seen, and then stared at the tightly closed door for a long time without saying a word.
After a meal, Yin Linglong pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she saw Wang Yu, she said directly:
"The person who came first today is my useless younger brother; he was just incited by someone. The one who acted afterward is my cousin, who has practiced some body training techniques."
"Those people want to see your strength. I don’t want to argue any further; I have already arranged a competition with them in three days. If you win against their chosen opponent, you can marry into the Yin family."
"Very good, it’s perfect. I always believed that whoever has the bigger fist has more reason." Wang Yu said, looking unconcerned.
"Don’t you want to know who your opponent is?" Yin Linglong wrinkled her pretty nose.
"Who is it? As my fiancée, you have to tell me." Wang Yu laughed when he heard this.
"It’s Yu Xiaoming from the Yu family. He is twenty-six years old and already at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They made me promise that if Yu Xiaoming beats you, he will take your place and marry me, joining our Yin family." Yin Linglong said slowly, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful face.
