Tao Soul will go through) (six phases, which are) (the Body Training Phase,) (Blood Coagulating Phase,) (Soul Cultivating Phase,) (Realm Breaking Phase,) (Heaven Penetrating Phase,) (and God Transforming Phase.) (Af
ter that,) (they will ascend to godhood.) Geez. I'll be banished in three more days. Faster. You need to be quick, accurate, and aggressive. It doesn't matter anymore. They have been reprimanding me for five years. I'm already used to it. Goodness. Young Master Yang is still doing his stretches. Aren't you anxious that your Tao Soul
hasn't appeared yet? Humph. Go away. Don't you pick on my brother. Chen, they're mocking you. Why aren't you defending yourself? My dear sister, don't be angry. I ju
st think that it's unnecessary. They can mock me all they like. I don't care. But you should get ready. Ziyun Academy is one of the best academies
in the Great Xia Kingdom. You have to train hard
once you get into the academy. I'll be honored when you become a powerful cultivator. Chen, I can't bear to part with you. And I can't bear to part with our parents. Are you really going to be banished in three days? I can't bear to part with you either. But it's fine. It's not like we can't see each ot
her again. Grandpa is ruthless. Even if you don't have a Tao Soul, he can't just banish his grandson like this. We're a family. That's a rule our clan must follow. Grandpa alone can't make the decision here. Grandpa does love us. You can come to me anytime in the future. By then, I'll make you
your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Okay. I'll definitely visit you often. No matter how long or far you'll be away, you'll always be my favorite brother. (I'm going to be banished tomorrow.) (I'm actu
ally reluctant
to part with this place now?) Ouch! That hurts! I must've been dreaming just now. I guess I was too nervous. I was even hallucinating. Master, the deed is done. Okay. You may leave. Yes, Master. Chen, are you up? Yes. Mother, why did you wake me up today? Today's your 16th birthday. Your grandfather said he would celebrate it for you. I woke you up so that you could greet him. I never expected Grandpa
to celebrate my birthday with me before my departure. Don't blame your grandfath
er. He was always concerned about you. It's just that your Tao Soul hasn't awakened yet. And there are many people here
who are targeting you. If your grandfather shows you too much concern, those people will get even more upset. That way, your days in the Yang Residence will become tougher. Chen, I know you have suffered many grievances
all these years. You had been enduring them all along. I'm heartbroken too. Mother. Chen. Greetings, Grandfather. Father? A Tao Soul? What a shame. It's a lower
-level Tao Soul of the Huang Class. And it's a support-type Medic Tao Soul. However, at least you have a Tao Soul now. Chen, you no longer need to leave the residence. No matter what kind of Tao Soul you possess, I will guide you through your cultivation. Grandfather, I'm sorry. I've brought disgrace to the family. Don't give up. Although Medic Tao Soul
is a support-type Tao Soul, it's still useful. Maybe you'll become a famous physician and leave your legacy behind. Most importantly, you must b
e
confident and open-minded. Come on. Play chess with me. It's been a long time
since we played chess together. It's been a long time since I played chess. My skills might have got rusty. You brat. Grandfather, please go easy on me. Okay. I have to tell Yun about this immediately. [Episode 2] [Yang Qingyun] What? Chen's Tao Soul has awakened? However, it's just a lower-level support-type
Tao Soul of the Huang Class. It's better than having no Tao Soul at all. At least we have Xin, a prodigy
with
a lower-level Tao Soul of the Di Class. That's more than enough. With us around, no one can bully Chen. [Yang Qinghai]
Qingyun, do you need to invite all of us here just to celebrate Yang Chen's birthday? Of course. [Yang Qinglin]
Chen will be banished tomorrow. As his elders, we should see him off. [Yang Qingfeng]
It's rare for us to have a meal together. Isn't this good? I'm preparing to go on a retreat lately. I don't have time for this. You guys can have the meal without me. I'll take my le
ave. I feel like I didn't have enough sleep lately. What's going on? All of you, sit down! As elders, you two are behaving like this
in front of the younger ones. How dare you! Do you guys still have any regard
for your eldest brother? We're not just celebrating Chen's birthday today. I also have a piece of news to tell you guys. Chen's Tao Soul has awakened. He won't be banished from the Yang Residence. What? His Tao Soul has awakened? How is that possible? Does it look like I'm joking here? Ch
en's Tao Soul has awakened. Although it's just a lower-level Tao Soul
of the Huang Class, he can proceed with his cultivation now. A lower-level Tao Soul of the Huang Class? Come on. Let me take a look at your Tao Soul. Qinghai, what are you doing? I never expected Chen's body to be so weak. Chen, are you okay? You won't blame me for this, right? You have to do your best in cultivating now. Don't bring disgrace to the Yang family. Thank you for your concern,
Second Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle.
I feel unwell. I'll head back and rest first. Chen, do you want me to examine you? Third Granduncle, thank you for your concern. But I'm fine. Chen, remember to come
to the Hall of Books tomorrow morning. I'll pick out a set of suitable techniques for you. Sure, Third Granduncle. I shall take my leave. (You want to go against me?) (You're still too green.) Chen, wait for me! Xin, why did you come out? Chen, Second Granduncle hurt you on purpose. Why did you fight back? You should've told Grandf
ather about it. I didn't want to put Grandfather on the spot. They're siblings after all. It'll be detrimental to the Yang Residence if they fall out because of this. Since young, Father and Mother taught us to prioritize the peace of the family. I need to endure it as long as I can. It's hard for the Yang family to reach
where we are today. So, Xin, you must train hard
when you're at Ziyun Academy. When you become a top expert with your Tao Soul, you can protect our family. Got it. I will surel
y train hard. As long as I'm around, I won't allow anyone to bully you. Chen, rest early. Okay. So, this is my Inner Tao Soul Palace? It's really a vast place. Let me see what's inside my Tao Soul. Medical skills? Even learning poetry is better. Maybe I can become the pillar
of the nation by then. Fine. Let's give it a read. Welcome to the Book of Ten Thousand Tao. Who's there? Don't be nervous. Who are you? My name is Huangyu. I bear you no ill will. You're the one I chose. I already saved you
twice. Saved me? What do you mean? That's your family affair. It's none of my business. In any case, the Book of Ten Thousand Tao is a new power that was produced by your Tao Soul. Wait. I had a Tao Soul? If so, why did you remove it? Also, why are you inside my body? You did possess a Tao Soul. If you did awaken it, it should be
an upper-level Swordsman Tao Soul of the Di Class. It was pretty good. What? An upper-level Tao Soul of the Di Class? Calm down. Your original Tao Soul was
an upper-lev
el Tao Soul of the Di Class. But that doesn't mean anything. Your current Tao Soul is way better than that. Do you think I'm a fool? Who in their right mind would think that
a lower-level Tao Soul of the Huang Class is better than an upper-level Tao Soul
of the Di Class? Although your current Tao Soul level is low, it can transform countless times.
It contains infinite possibilities. As long as you work hard, it might even become stronger
than a Tao Soul of the Tian Class. Don't you think that's
interesting? It can transform countless times? Isn't it just a Medic Tao Soul? Medic Tao Soul? This is the Book of Ten Thousand Tao. It's the only one of its kind in the world. It has the power to absorb other Tao Souls. Do you know what that means? It means that not only
can you upgrade your Tao Soul, but you can also pick up other people's Tao Souls. [Episode 3] Do you still remember you fell off a cliff when you were seven years old? That's when I entered your body (and hibernated.) (I absor
bed the power of your original Tao Soul) (and slowly sculptured
the Book of Ten Thousand Tao.) What about you? Who are you? You don't need to know my story now. I chose you just because I want you to be my successor. The me you see now is just a combination of a seal and a ghost. I don't know what state I'm in now. Somehow I can no longer appear in the world. The Book of Ten Thousand Tao is my final destination. How can I repay you for making me your successor? You don't need to think about this
now. All you need to do now is start practicing. With my medical skills, I can defeat no other! Give me a combat-type power. What's the use of medical mastery? Medical skills give you extraordinary recovery ability. You can also make potions and train yourself. In addition, your Tao Soul has been integrated
into the Book of Ten Thousand Tao. It would be great if I could still use my Swordsman Tao Soul! Let me teach you the exercises first. From now on, you have to practice hard. All right. By t
he way, I have a magic weapon for you. What is it? This is the Spirit Potions Cauldron. It is the accompanying magic weapon
of the Book of Ten Thousand Tao. They complement each other. You can make use of this cauldron in the future. I believe that the Spirit Potions Cauldron will be helpful for your cultivation. Master. What is the use of this Spirit Potions Cauldron? Is it more than a potion-making cauldron? I know what you're thinking. Unfortunately, I can't give you anything except for the S
pirit Potions Cauldron. If you want something, you have to work for it. (Anyway,) (I get one treasure.) (Now, I need to train my body.) (This potions cauldron will undoubtedly
come in handy.) (I will rely on myself from now on.) Master, thank you for your gift. I will definitely train hard. I wouldn't shame you. Way to go! I believe that one day, you will be on top of the world. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Master's method works. After a few more days of pranayama, I should be able to recover. This is my
wife, Jiang Yue. Elder Yu. Elder Yu, thank you for coming all the way. Don't mention it. Chen. Chen! Come here. Here! Be right up. Chen. Meet Elder Yu from Ziyun Academy. [Ziyun Academy, Elder Yu]
She came from the imperial city to pick up Xin. From now on, she will be Xin's master. (She is here to pick up Xin.) (In other words,) (it will not be easy
to see Xin again in the future.) Chen. Elder Yu. I heard that your Tao Soul
has just awakened yesterday. It is pretty rare to awaken a Tao Soul at
your age. I heard from Xin that yours is a Medic Tao Soul. I happen to have a medical book. [Treatise on Ten Diseases Caused by Cold]
It's a little something for you. You may keep it. This book is from a cave I came across on my way here. I'm not good at medicines, so I didn't turn the pages. Take your time to study. Thank you, Elder Yu. Xin. When you get to Ziyun Academy, you must take good care of yourself. I will go to see you in the imperial city
at every opportunity. I will take good care
of myself. You need to do the same. If anyone dares bully you, I will come back to avenge you. Ladies and gentlemen. Xin and I bid you adieu. See you. Farewell. Look forward to hearing from me. (Xin.) (Wait for me,) (and I will make you proud.) Xin. Do come home often. Chen. Follow me to the Hall of Books. A lower-level Tao Soul of the Huang Class. What's more, it's a support-type one. No matter how hard you train,
you can't accomplish anything. Yes, it might be
a waste of resources in the mansi
on. Qingyun, you won't be biased, right? Don't worry. I've been in charge of the family
for so many years. I never practice favoritism. I will give Chen neither more nor less. Since you've said so, we certainly believe it. There are three months before the competition
of the younger generation in the mansion. Chen is finally able to participate this year. I'm truly looking forward to it. Second Granduncle, thank you for your interest. I will not disappoint you. Chen, let's go. Speaking of the Ha
ll of Books... [Episode 4] Chen. These are the classics
of secret techniques we collected. It covers an enormous variety of fields but very little in medicine. We have only a few. You can have a look. You are our first in this field. [The Pharmacological Basis] They are just books about prescriptions
and medical science. Nothing special. You said your family
is one of the four great families in Mangu City. This can't be everything you have. Chen. The books on this shelf
are about cultivation exe
rcises. My family has been around
in Mangu City for many years. Through various means, we managed to collect
eight kinds of cultivation exercises. Take a look. See which kind of exercise is suitable for you. Take your time. You can choose any of these eight exercises. OK, Third Granduncle. Whichever you like. This one is the best among what we have. It couldn't be better if you would practice it. Third Granduncle, the book is incomplete. Yes. This is all we have. The later chapters are missing.
Then what should I do after I finish this book? Do I just stop there? Not really. The cultivation exercise
of each phase is different, so different phases, different exercises. (Oh, I see!) Third Granduncle,
may I take a look at other classics? Yes, but you can't take them out of here. (Mine is a Swordsman Tao Soul.) (I have to work hard on this.) [Fluttering Willow Catkins Swordsmanship] Fluttering willow catkins? Sounds like the moves are agile and flexible. Done. I've memorized everything. I'
ll practice after I go back. It is not possible to have sufficient strength by doing ordinary practice alone. One, two, three, four. I have to buy some herbs to make potions. (They think I will be the laughingstock
of the Grand Competition.) (I'll show them) (that I'm a real shark.) (Look at my ancestral sword.) (Hey, that's nice.) (I know, right?) Young Master Yang Chen. All right. What a good sword. But I don't have much money left
after I buy the herbs. Hey! The honorable first young master
o
f the Yang family. So surprised to meet you here, my cousins. [Yang Xin, Yang Qian]
Aren't you in Fenglan Academy? When did you come back? We are also surprised
that you've awakened the Tao Soul as well. So out of expectation. Unfortunately, you have a Medic Tao Soul. That's pretty much useless. Xin, don't say that. Our cousin has finally awakened his Tao Soul. We should congratulate him. You're right. We should. It's a Tao Soul anyway,
no matter how useless it is. You can be a physician in the
future. To be a physician and save people is more than acceptable. Huh? Chen, do you like this sword? Yes, I like it very much. That doesn't seem right. Yours are not a Swordsman Tao Soul. Having a sword wouldn't do you any good. Can't I buy it for collection? Collection? You have a nice hobby, don't you? Since you like this sword so much, consider it a gift from me. You can play with it for some fun when you're free. Thank you so much for your generosity. Please wrap this sword for me. It's on
my cousin. Yang Chen! Young Master Yang Xin. This sword is a soul weapon
of the middle-level Huang Class. It costs fifty thousand gold coins. -Fifty thousand?
-Fifty thousand? This sword is so expensive. Xin, forget about the gift. It's too expensive. It's all right. Just take it, Yang Chen. Since you said so, I'll happily accept it. My cousins, take your time. I will go elsewhere. Take your time. Yang Chen, how dare you! Xin, he can't be this smug for long. The Grand Competition is in three mon
ths. We'll teach him a lesson then. Well said. He is grinning from ear to ear now but I'll make him cry. [Episode 5] What an exceptional item. A middle-level sword of the Huang Class like this must be worth at least 60,000 gold coins, and I got it for free! What a win! How much for the herbs? I've already given you a discount. Only 7,000 gold coins. Here you go. As expected, one can't go anywhere without money. What did I do? I've been attacked twice, and I don't even know what's going on! Die,
you rogue! Stop! Young Lady of the Wang family. That was an unnecessary heavy blow. Even if Chen offended you, you shouldn't have gone that far. Or are you deliberately trying to stir up trouble between our families? He pushed me to the ground and tried to take advantage of me! It's only fair that I teach him a lesson. That… Besides, this is the marketplace. It's for Tao Soul cultivators. He hasn't even awakened his Tao Soul. He shouldn't have come here. He has no one to blame but himself. Chen…
He'll be all right. I've got terrible luck, Master. I was only out for some herbs. Yet I was attacked by someone and got beat up by a woman. Do you think I'm too pathetic? Your body may still be weak, but you have a much stronger soul
than normal people. I'm teaching you the secret soul technique
of the Book of Ten Thousand Tao. This is the foundation
for you to fuse other Tao Souls in the future. I will practice it hard. You need to cultivate with a peaceful mind. You must take it one step at
a time. But remember. There is retribution for good and evil. This technique is so powerful
that it is envied by Heaven. You must use it discreetly. Do not harm the innocent with it. With your talent, you will soon master this soul technique. Father, what's the matter? I just sensed a peculiar power in Chen's body. It actually absorbed some of my Tao soul power. This is the first time
I've encountered such a thing. He absorbed your Tao soul power? Only a trace of it. Perhaps, my sense was mistak
en. Do not worry too much. Chen is not in danger. He should be able to recover after some rest. Prepare some tonic for him. All right. Chen's body is still too weak. Father, are we going to let this matter go? It's only a dispute between the young. Let Chen handle it himself. Otherwise, the Wang family
will say we're making a big deal out of it again. Consider it a lesson for Chen. Dear, it'll be exhausting
to take care of Chen all by yourself. Let the new maid give you a hand here. My poor chil
d. Very well. I'll make the arrangements. Madam. Here. Chen. Who are you? [Xue]
My name is Xue. Xue? Why are you here? Madam ordered me to serve you. My mother? That's odd. Why did my mother arrange a maid for me? You look so young. How did you end up in the Yang Residence? Are you kicking me out, Young Master? Please don't! Please! My parents died when I was a child. I have nowhere else to go. I can do anything. I'll serve you well. I will! Stop… You can stay. Get up. Stop crying. People might
think I did something to you if they saw this. Where are you from? How long have you been working here? I am an orphan. I have no family left. Madam took pity on me and brought me here. It was three days ago when you were brought back. Wait. I've been out for three days? You've been unconscious for the past few days. Madam was by your side all this time. She only went out to prepare your medicine. No wonder I feel sore all over. I've slept for too long. Oh, right. Where are my things? There they
are. I didn't touch them. That's good. Chen. Chen! Chen! All right. Mother, I'm hungry. Is there food? Of course. I'll make you something to eat right now. Madam. It's all right. Leave the medicine on the table.
I'll drink it myself. Close the door. Chen just woke up.
Careful not to let him catch a cold. [Episode 6] (With the potion,) (not only can I enhance my body,) (but it also heals my injuries.) (The prescription is from the medical book
given by Elder Yu.) (Master said it's called
Corpore
al Transformation Skill,) (which is mysterious.) (Hopefully, it can be useful.) (Done.) (Let's see how it works.) (Sadly, I need one more pristine ingredient
as the guiding herb) (that will double its effectiveness, at least.) (Young Master,
I've brought you some lotus-nuts sweet soup.) What an intense herbal smell. Young Master, what are you doing? (Pristine? Doesn't it mean a pure soul like Xue?) Young Master. What... What do you want? Don't worry. I don't mean you any harm. I just need you to
do me a favor. What do you want me to do? It's simple. Can I have a few drops of your blood? My blood? Okay. Just a few drops of your blood into this cauldron. All right, that'd be enough. My finger. It's a simple skill. No need to be surprised. Remember. What you've just seen in my room, (never bring it up to anyone,) including my parents. Also, I might need your blood in the future. Just a few drops each time. Of course, in return, you can make any requests. I'll fulfill them if I can. No, Yo
ung Master. Staying here to serve you is the biggest return for me. I daren't ask for more. (As long as you need it,) I'll give you my blood at any time. Don't be so reserved. I'm not like other Young Masters. I don't have rules here, and you don't need to be submissive. Here. The soup is for you. It's your reward. I can't. Madam made this for you, Young Master. But I want you to have it. You're my maid. (Are you not listening to me?) I don't like disobedient maids. That's right. Well, you don't
need to be here. Go and rest. Yes. Please get rest early too, Young Master. (She's pretty cute.) (Now that I have the guiding ingredient.) (Probably, the potion will be strengthened
to the maximum.) (I know, the process of refining my body) (will be torturing.) (Be persistent.) (I, Yang Chen, am not a good-for-nothing.) (I want everyone to witness a brand new me!) The technique I taught is called
the Golden Bone Technique. Though the name sounds bland, it can help to build the most powerful phy
sique. Body Training Phase, (Blood Coagulating Phase,) (Soul Cultivating Phase,) (Realm Breaking Phase,) (Heaven Penetrating Phase,) (and God Transforming Phase.) The six phases boast their own brilliant cultivation method. However, the Golden Bone Technique
is the supreme technique designed for the Body Training Phase. When you attain Blood Coagulating Phase, you'll need to figure something out. Since they are legendary techniques, it's more than enough for me
to master Golden Bone Technique al
one. The rest will depend on my luck. The combination of prescription
and Golden Bone Technique is indeed excellent. In just one night, my cultivation has ascended
to the second level of the Body Training Phase. Plus, some of my hidden injuries are healed. I feel so great. I wonder who comes here early in the morning. Come on. Scoundrel. (How dare you hurt Xue!) (What a despicable prick!) (You're a real animal.) Luckily, I caught Yang Xin unprepared. Otherwise, with my current strength, I would'
ve been beaten if he had noticed me. Tao Soul? (Master was right.) (Just by integrating a Tao Soul,) (the Book of Ten Thousand Tao has ascended
to the middle-level of the Huang Class.) (Great.) (It seems that I should integrate more Tao Souls.) I need to bring Xue back now before anyone finds out. [Episode 7] I'm exhausted. Chen. You're up early today. (Oh no, I forgot to close the door.) I... Come to my room later. Oh no. I can never explain this. Don't be afraid. I didn't do anything. It's not
what you think. Look into my eyes. Calm down. Do I look like a villain? Do you still remember what happened? When I was almost in the kitchen, (someone hit me from behind.) (I can't remember anything afterward.) (Young Master, what happened?) You mustn't ask any more questions. Do not mention it to anyone. Pretend it never happened. Don't worry. I won't hurt you. Do you trust me? Yes. Why do you trust me? I don't know why. I just do. You are a kind person, Young Master. I know you won't hurt me
. You're too young to judge right and wrong. You'll slowly learn about it. Alright. Where do you live? I'll get you the clothes. I don't know which one you like, so I brought everything. Take your time. (I can't tell Mother the truth.) (But she will see right through
the story I make up.) Whatever. I accept my fate. (Come in.) Be honest. What happened? Hear me out, Mother. When I passed the decorative mountain
in the courtyard, I saw Yang Xin. This is outrageous. I'll have him apprehended immedi
ately. Your grandfather will be the judge. Appreciated, Mother. But keep this a secret from Xue. I don't want her to be traumatized. You're all grown up now. You've become thoughtful. But promise me you won't keep secrets from me again. Don't worry, Mother. I will make you proud someday. Each purple coin is
worth 100,000 gold coins. I didn't know Yang Xin was this rich. Is it a Spirit Ginseng? Yes, it is. It feeds on the essence
of heaven and earth to grow. It contains a tremendous amount of qi.
It will greatly boost your attainment level. It really is a Spirit Ginseng. I hit a gold mine! Is heaven favoring me? With this Spirit Ginseng, my training will go even better. Use a little bit of Spirit Ginseng whenever you train. The result will be greatly improved. Yes. Hang in there. This is only the beginning. (I've made it! Keep going!) (When all the herbs are used up,) (my meridians can be reforged.) (The first stage
of Golden Bone mastery is complete!) This is my last intense training.
I hope I can reforge the last few meridians. [Episode 8] (The soul resides in the head.) (If anything goes wrong,) (this could be the end of me.) Not bad. A month's worth of training was worth it. I've reached the fifth level
of the Body Training Phase. This is better than I expected. (Don't get ahead of yourself.) (You managed to reach the fifth level) (of the Body Training Phase in a short time) (all thanks to the Golden Bone Technique) (and the remarkable medicinal effect
of the Spirit Ginsen
g.) Master. It's enough that you're not praising, but dousing my enthusiasm. I'm not getting ahead of myself. I'm just happy. (Brat.) (You have a long way to go.) (You've just reached a higher level.) (You've just finished rebuilding your meridians.) (I picked a prescription for you.) (Start preparing it.) That's a lot of herbs to buy. Where do I get the money? I guess I'll have to use up my three purple coins. Some of the herbs Master listed out are probably not available in our Spirit Market.
The Liu and the Wang families
are our mortal enemies. I wouldn't go to their shops
even if they had the herbs. In that case, I can only go to the Zhao family's Spirit Market. I should put on a disguise before I go. The Spirit Market of the City Lord Residence
is a place of grandeur indeed. [Zhao Family Spirit Market]
I hope I can get all the herbs I need. Otherwise, things will get sticky. Follow this prescription. In a moment. I'll get the herbs. Sir. I am sorry. We're missing one of the herbs
you need. Which is it? [Rock Lotus] (It's Rock Lotus.) Rock Lotus? (Rock Lotus is the most important herb) (in this prescription Master gave me.) (Without it,) (the whole prescription is as good as nothing.) (I should check out the other market places.) Sir. I'm sorry to break it to you, but the entire Mangu City has run out of Rock Lotus. How did that happen? The Rock Lotus is very particular
with its growing conditions. Youyun Mountain that's not far from the city (is one of the few places) (t
hat produces Rock Lotus
in the Great Xia Kingdom.) (When people needed the Rock Lotus,) (we gathered the flowers there.) (But recently,) (A powerful soul beast
arrived at Youyun Mountain.) (It's taken over the place.) It's almost impossible for outsiders
to get close. It turns out that there is such a thing. Forget it. Pack the other herbs for me. Yes. The total for the other herbs is 5,000 gold coins. So... Wait here. I'll get you the balance. (If I want to make more money,) (the Grand Competit
ion is a nice option.) (If I perform well,) (I'll get a handsome reward.) There's an extra 1,000 gold coins. Sir, the exchange rate between purple coins
and gold coins fluctuates. I followed the latest exchange rate. Have a nice day. I knew it. I went to the Spirit Markets
of the four great families and found nothing. Looks like I must go to Youyun Mountain. Go on. Consider it a challenge
to hone your skills. High rewards come from high risks. Fine. But I must get ready before setting out. I'll
try my luck at the local merchants. There's not even anyone
in the Blood Coagulating Phase, no wonder there are few people here. I doubt there is any good stuff here. It seems I overestimated the place. It can't be that easy to find treasures. I should head back and get ready for my trip to Youyun Mountain. I must get the Rock Lotus no matter what it takes. (Have a look around!) Treasures and trinkets! It's a bang for your buck! Is there anything good? Sir, check this out. Sir, have a look. (The
se are all good stuff.) (Did they steal these from a tomb?) [Episode 9] How much are these three ornaments? (This guy seems to have a fat wedge.) I can give you a discount. Ten thousand gold coins. Why don't you just rob me instead? We can talk this out. How about 8,000 gold coins? What about 7,000? Don't go. Since you think it's expensive, then name a price. One thousand gold coins. One thousand? Are you kidding me? These are all antiques. You won't get these from other stores. Fine. I'll make
the price lower. Five thousand gold coins. One thousand. Don't go, can you raise the price a bit? How about 4,000? One thousand. Three thousand. This is the lowest price I can offer. One thousand. That's not the way to haggle over prices. It's not easy to get those antiques, you know. I said 1,000. This deal is up to you. You! You got me. We'll go for 1,000. What tough luck to meet a customer like you. One thousand is pretty much enough. Don't be greedy. With small profits come high turnover. Wh
at a difficult customer to handle with! Be that as it may, I've outsmarted him. These stuff came free from tombs, anyway. Every single dime will go into my pocket at last. (I don't see a special out of this, though.) Why did I have to buy them? Since you discovered them, show me the answer. Let's see. (Oh, you've got treasures here.) Really? Master, what's this treasure? (It's a space ring) (and considered uncommon) (in today's world.) (As its name applies, the space ring) (contains a space insi
de) (for storage purposes.) (And it's made of unique ingredients,) (which is unusual.) Master, do you know how to forge a space ring? (Yes, I do.) (However, it's no use to teach you that) (as the ingredients are hard to find) (and you haven't comprehended the Law of Space.) (You can't even forge a space ring) (that merely contains the tiniest space.) In that case, I'll pass. (Hey, now.) (Drip a drop of your blood
to build a bond with it.) There's nothing inside the space. (Anyway, with this ring
,) (carrying things will be easy.) (I don't have to lug baggage around
while traveling.) How dare you, thief! Beat her hard. Just so she'll remember. Brat. How dare you steal my thing? I'm going to beat you to death. I picked it up in the garden. I didn't know it was yours. Stop lying. I've been wearing the hairpin on my head. How could it fall? You must've stolen it. I'm going to beat you to death, brat. I... You've got some nerves. How dare you bully my maid? Do you want to get chucked out? Yo
ung Master. Young Master Yang Chen. This brat stole my hairpin. I'm teaching her a lesson. Did she steal your hairpin? Why would my maid steal your thing? This is hilarious. Young Master, I didn't do that. I didn't. I found the hairpin somewhere. And I've already returned to her. I said you stole it, so it's you. Don't you talk back! Are you sure? How bossy you are! It seems that you're going
to boss Yang Residence around. You're just a mere maid. How could you have such an expensive hairpin? Sh
oot it. Where did you steal this from? Young Master Yang Ming gave me that. You can ask him if you don't believe this. Why would Yang Ming give you a hairpin
for no reason? You must've stolen this. Stop trying to argue your way out of it. Young Master Yang Chen. So, you're framing me. You're likely to get under
Young Master Yang Ming's skin if he learns of this. Get this... How dare you slap me? You're just a maid. Who gives you the darned permission to yell at me? Yang Chen, my dear cousin. Wel
l done, huh? You're bullying my maid. How mighty. Do you think you can rule over the Yang Residence because your Tao Soul is awakened? [Yang Ming] Help me, Young Master. Help me, Young Master. Scram! Yang Chen, do you intend to step over the line? I'm not, Ming. I was just telling the light-fingered maid that she should respect her master. Any problem with this, Yang Ming? It seems that your cultivation
has come along smoothly recently. Well, I shall see how much you've learned. [Episode 10] You
! Ming. I doubt you've been serious
about your cultivation these years. Did you spend all your effort
on that maid instead? Since you've tested me, you should try mine too. It's time to brush up your skills. Otherwise, you won't get a good ranking
in the Grand Competition two months later. Xue, does it hurt? No. Yang Chen. Young Master Yang Ming, what happened? Get Yang Chen now. I'll reward you handsomely. Yes. I'll take responsibility if anything happens. What are you up to? Young Master Yang
Ming wants us to teach you some rules, Young Master Yang Chen. Rules? Do I need you pricks to teach me that? Get out of my way. Young Master Yang Chen. I apologize for what will happen later. Grappling Fist... Tell your Master not to mess with me again. Or else, he'll regret it. Get out of my face. (Yes, right away.) Careful. Slow down. Slow down. Turn around. I want to check on your injuries. I... Don't get the wrong idea. I just want to give you treatments. I won't insist if you don't want to.
I'll ask my mother to help you. No, Young Master. Please don't disturb Madam. I believe in you, Young Master. Young Master. I'm ready. They started bullying you a long time ago. Right? Yes. This is outrageous. Do they think the Yang Residence
is their own territory? I'll ask my mother to drive all of them out. Please don't mind them, Young Master. Let's not start another trouble. Please. After all, it's because of me. I've been looked down upon the whole time and I have no resources or power. O
therwise, they wouldn't have
had the guts to walk over you. Xue, I'm to blame. Young Master, I... Well. Please endure the pain for a while. It'll heal up soon. I'm heading out
to search for the medicine for you. I follow what you say, Young Master. Done. (This little girl has Tao Soul.) (You can awaken it.) Xue, please stand up. Don't move. Relax your body. The Tao Soul inside Xue is uncommon. It requires so much power just to activate the Inner Tao Soul Palace. Blimey! She has a sorcery-type Ta
o Soul. The pristine aura. Could it be... Her Tao Soul is quite excellent. It belongs to the middle-level of the Tian Class. (A pure Heavenly Flame Tao Soul.) (With fine nurture,) (she could control all the flames in the world
in the future.) Chen, you luck out. She'll be of great help to you. Middle-level of the Tian Class? Not even the Great Xia Kingdom has many prodigies
with a Tao Soul of the Tian Class. Goodness, where does Xue come from? Young Master, what's wrong with me? I feel weak now.
Easy. You're all right. Inner Tao Soul Palace is activated just now, and you can start cultivating from today onward. But you have to keep it to yourself. I'll guide you in your cultivation. As for the resources you need, I'll get them for you. But keep this in mind. Don't tell anyone about this. Yes, Young Master. The resources needed for my own cultivation are already many, and now with Xue's, that's a lot of pressure. What do I do? Maybe I should tell Grandfather about this. If I tell him...
I can't. If this gets out, more people will covet Xue and it's likely to put her in great danger, let alone help her. Better to keep it under the radar to avoid unnecessary troubles. Look who's there. Oh, it's Young Master Yang Chen, who merely has
the lower-level Tao Soul of the Huang Class. [Episode 11] It seems that I have already become famous
in Mangu City. People from those major families
probably see me as a laughingstock. Is there anything you need? If not, please excuse me, as I have s
ome matters to attend to. [Wang Yan]
Young Master Yang Chen, don't rush to leave. I heard that you have a Medic Tao Soul. Coincidentally, my cousin, Wang Chi, also has a Medic Tao Soul. But he's on a much higher level than you. He has already become a disciple
of Master Mo Ming. I think you can follow Wang Chi and be an Apprentice Pharmacist. (I've heard of Mo Ming before.) (He seems to be known
as the top alchemist in Mangu City.) (Since he has taken Wang Chi as his disciple,) (it shows that he
has a close relationship
with the Wang family.) [Wang Chi] Not interested. What? Are you looking down on my Master? No. I'm looking down on you. How dare someone useless as you look down on me? In the future,
I will definitely become a great alchemist, while you will forever remain worthless. Whatever you say. Now make way. What's going on here, Mr. Wang Chi? (Yang Sheng.) [Yang Sheng]
(Yang Qinghai's lineage.) (I heard that he's somewhat talented.) Yang Chen. Did you offend Mr. Wang Chi? Hurry
and apologize to him. Sheng, since when have you become
the Wang family's lapdog? Why so eager to wag your tail
in front of your master? How disrespectful! You have really crossed the line. Someone, make him kneel down
and apologize to Mr. Wang Chi. I dare you! What are you waiting for? Do I need to repeat my order? -Understood.
-Understood. Since you've made your choice, don't blame me for the consequences. Nine Dragons Heaven-Breaking Fist! Mr. Wang Chi, Mr. Wang Yan. Quickly, have your men d
o something. Yang Chen has gone mad. All right. Go take care of him. Yes, Sir. This young man is impressive. Yang Chen, what are you doing? Despite being a descendant of the Yang family, you actually try to please the Wang family by attacking your own kin. Having someone like you
in the Yang family is a disgrace. Get out of my sight! Don't let me see you again. Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up! Halt! Sheng, who had the guts to hurt you? [Yang Qingshi]
Uncle Qingshi, teach Yang Chen a lesso
n for me. [Yang Qingshi] He's gone nuts! He's lost control during his cultivation,
attacking everyone he sees. I lost control during cultivation? The wicked are sure quick to play the victim. From what I see, you're the one who's gone mad. What do you guys want? Yang Chen, I think there's indeed something wrong
with your cultivation. I should take you back for a check-up. Guess it's true there aren't many people
in the Yang Residence who view me favorably. You all think I'm an easy target, don't
you? You want to take me back? Go ahead and give it a try. Such ignorance and arrogance. You should learn a lesson or two. Silk-Reeling Hands! (The fifth level of the Blood Coagulating Phase.) Nine Dragons Heaven-Breaking Fist! (How is this possible?) (Such strong power.) (Has he already cultivated
to the ninth level of the Body Training Phase,) (or has he broken through
to the Blood Coagulating Phase?) Nice chance. Soul-Devouring Secret Technique, activate! Little beast, are you trying to rebe
l? I really don't understand why people like you always enjoy infighting. It's because of short-sighted individuals
like you that it has been difficult
for us to grow stronger. You little beast, you are too insolent. I am your elder, don't think you can do whatever you want
just because you are the grandson of the patriarch. Let me tell you, it will soon be the patriarch election
that happens once every ten years, and your grandfather should retire then. Without your grandfather's protection, I'
d love to see how you can keep being so arrogant. You little beast, I will cripple you today! Oh no, he's losing control. What are you going to do? Stop! [Cheng Gang]
Young Master Yang Chen, what did you do to Master Qingshi? Uncle Qingshi encountered a problem
while mastering his qi just now, and his life was in danger
since he was losing control. I had to shatter his Tao Soul to save him. Vice Commander Cheng, you arrived just in time. Quickly take Uncle Qingshi back
to the residence for treat
ment. What? Did you shatter
Master Qingshi's Tao Soul? You... Why are you still standing here? Vice Commander Cheng,
don't listen to his nonsense! He is the one who truly lost control
during cultivation. Seize him! How dare you slap me? Cheng Gang, kill him! Well... Vice Commander Cheng, I understand that you
are constrained by the Yang family, and it can be difficult to act. However, even when following orders, one should still discern right from wrong,
don't you think so? As for how to proceed
, I believe you will make the right judgment. What are you guys waiting for? Kill him now! Stop it, Young Master, let's go. You are all so useless! -Understood, Sir.
-Useless! Let go of me! Let go! Let go of me! Yang Chen! (This will surely cause quite a stir
in the Yang Residence.) Oh. Those from the Wang family
have fled quite quickly. [Episode 12] Yang Qingyun, 365 votes. Yang Qingyuan, 365 votes. Currently, the two of them
have the same number of votes. Please make the final decision, sir. T
his situation is truly unprecedented. In my opinion, it's better to choose another day to... You are in such a rush to wrap things up. What exactly are you afraid of? Qinghai, mind your tone. I'm still the family patriarch at the moment. Tone? When you were dealing with the matter
concerning Yang Xin, why didn't you consider that he is my grandson? I have already told you what Yang Xin did wrong. Stop causing a scene here. -Just because of what Yang Chen said?
-You... B-Bad news! [Yang Residence
] Young Master Yang Chen. Are you here to take me to the residence? I wouldn't dare. I'm just following orders
to invite you to the conference hall. Young Master Yang Chen, Second Master is furious
about what happened to Master Qingshi. Currently, the Patriarch, Second Master,
Third Master, Fourth Master, along with a dozen other senior members
from collateral branches, are all present in the conference hall. The situation is unfavorable for you,
Young Master Yang Chen. However, please rest assu
red that I have truthfully explained the matter of Master Qingshi losing control
during cultivation. (Yang Qinghai indeed won't let it pass easily.) Vice Commander Cheng,
your sense of fairness is truly admirable. I will hold your kindness in remembrance. You go prepare these herbs. Once this matter is resolved, I guarantee that you will smoothly progress
to the Soul Cultivating Phase. Thank you, Young Master.
I shall serve you with unwavering loyalty. Vice Commander Cheng,
please have someone s
end the herbs to my room. Yes, sir. Greetings, Grandpa, Third Granduncle,
and the rest of the elders. Yang Chen, do you acknowledge your guilt? What crime have I committed? You wretched creature, you are too cruel. You actually shattered Qingshi's Tao Soul. You harmed your own kin. Are you trying to rebel? Indeed. You're so vicious at such a young age, displaying such ruthless ambition. Do you hold no regard
for the rules of the Yang Residence? Qingshi is your uncle, yet you could still bring yo
urself to do it,
you wretched creature. It's simply outrageous
and goes against all principles. Are you done with the accusation? Insolent! Showing no respect for your elders,
you've crossed the line. I'm insolent? You keep calling me a wretched creature. Do you still see me
as the patriarch's rightful heir? If you label me as such, what does that make the patriarch
in your perspective? I'll smack you to death! Enough! Qinghai, you've gone too far. Everyone, as you can all see, Yang Chen's signi
ficant transgression merits appropriate retribution. Qingtian. Yang Chen is your grandson. He committed a grave mistake, both you and Qingyun can't escape blame. In my view, it's time for you to step down
from the position of the family patriarch. That's right. After all that talk, this is your real intention, isn't it? Your lineage has been using your numbers
to oppress us, to put it bluntly, you are just trying
to take over the position, aren't you? It's not your place
to intervene in matters
like this. This time, you've committed a grave mistake. The fault lies with the father's failure to teach. Your father isn't qualified
to run for the position of the family patriarch. You are totally wrong. Uncle Qingshi went astray. I shattered his Tao Soul to save him. How is that a grave mistake? I guess he does have a point. Nonsense! How could Qingshi possibly go astray? It's clear that you schemed against Qingshi
using devious methods. Yet you still want to argue? Devious methods? Those ar
e what you often resort to, I suppose. I'd never stoop so low. Evidence must be presented in all matters. You claim I schemed against Uncle Qingshi, where is the evidence? Bring Sheng and Qingshi in. I shall take my leave. Sheng, what happened at that time? Tell us the whole story. Sheng, what are you doing? Yang Chen, what have you done? I was merely standing here
without doing anything at all. If you want to falsely accuse someone, please at least think things through. From the looks of it, it
's not just Yang Qingshi who went astray, even Yang Sheng is no exception. How pitiful. Qingshi, tell me, did that wretched creature Yang Chen do it? (His soul has been damaged,) (I'm afraid it will take some time
for him to recover.) Do you still think my words are false now? Vice Commander Cheng
witnessed this incident firsthand. There was something wrong with Master Qingshi, otherwise, how could Young Master Yang Chen
be a match for him? Cheng Gang, you have no right to speak here. Get out! C
heng Gang, you're being too audacious. (I'm afraid this Jiang Chi might already
be under Yang Qinghai's influence.) Insolent! This is the Yang Residence's conference hall, how dare an outsider like you interrupt? Leave us immediately. [Jiang Chi] You wretched creature,
what do you think this place is? You're not allowed to give orders here. Having no sense of decorum,
showing no respect for your elders, Yang Chen, you're being too audacious. Enough! This matter comes to an end here. Once the ele
ction is over, I will pass on the role of family patriarch to a member of the younger generation
in the Yang family. But Yang Chen was the one who harmed others first. If there's no resolution to this matter, how can the Yang Residence claim to be just? Yang Qingyun's parenting is flawed, and he should face consequences. Exactly, I agree with what Qinghai said. You are using the matter
as an excuse to hold forth. I have a proposal. Two months from now,
members from our younger generation will co
mpete. The winner's father will become
the new family patriarch. Second Granduncle, Fourth Granduncle, what do you think? Since you wish to settle this matter, I'll give you an opportunity. All right, very well. Qingtian, what do you think? (Yang Chen.) (He's essentially handing over the position
of family patriarch.) (Or is he...?) All right, then let's go with Chen's proposal. Two months from now, let the younger generation decide
who will become the new family patriarch. Qingtian... Very well
. The competition
should be quite interesting. In that case, everyone can disperse now. Let the youngsters go back and get prepared. Chen, you were too impulsive this time. Among Qinghai and Qinglin's lineages, four people have reached
the Blood Coagulating Phase. But in your lineage, there's only one who has reached
the Blood Coagulating Phase. How can you compete under these circumstances? Third Granduncle, you don't need to worry. I've got a plan. Chen. Go ahead and proceed with your plan. Ju
st keep one thing in mind, no matter when, never forget that you
are an integral part of the Yang family. Rest assured, Grandpa. I will always protect the Yang family
no matter the circumstances. [Episode 13] Good. Chen. You have grown up. I can rest assured. Qingfeng. Come on. Let's go play chess. Let the young ones worry about matters of the residence. Chen has grown up. Gather all the medicinal material
written on here. Come find me in the evening. Yes. Young Master. I have prepared all the r
equired materials. Relax. I said I can get you to break through
to the Soul Cultivating Phase, I will definitely get you there. Okay. Come on. Okay. (Right now, except for the Rock Lotus,
I pretty much have everything else.) (After Cheng Gang finishes,) (I should get ready to go to Youyun Mountain.) (Hopefully I can find it.) Great! I have reached the Soul Cultivating Phase. Thank you for your help, Young Master! Good. After refinement in the medicinal bath, your physique is much stronger than b
efore, your blood energy is also much more exuberant. I will teach you some martial fist techniques. Practice hard. Your strength will be elevated again. The key to this fist technique lies in the method
of letting power course through the body. What a profound technique. You go ahead and practice for now, I have other things to do. Fortunately, there is no one. If my parents know
that I'm going to Youyun Mountain alone, they would be unwilling no matter what. Young Master. Where are you going?
I'm just going for a walk. Okay. Then I will go inform your mother. Don't. Xue. Why don't you come with me? Where to? Youyun Mountain. No, I can't. I can't help you in any way. Didn't you awaken your Tao Soul? You should practice hard these days. Get into this cauldron. I will take you with me. Okay. (Fortunately, Master taught me
how to store living things.) I have long heard that Youyun Mountain
is full of various spirit herbs. This time, seeing is believing. As long as we don't run into
that
soul beast at the Heaven Penetrating Phase. I can't beat it. Xue's talent is really extraordinary. Even without the aid of spirit herbs, I believe after she completes ten refinements, she'll be able to have a great transformation. My mother really found me a cute little maid. Not showing yourself? So strong. A master in the Soul Cultivating Phase. Kill! Cheng Gang. The third level of the Soul Cultivating Phase. No wonder his power is so strong. Cheng Gang just broke through
to the Soul Cultivati
ng Phase and he has comparable strength. Not bad. After he consolidates his power and masters the fist technique I taught him, that man in black should be no match for him at all. But this guy has to be dealt with right now. (So familiar.) Jiang Chi! How dare you! So it is you. They sent you, didn't they? I didn't expect them to think so highly of me that they'd send you to kill me. Jiang Chi! Kneel and ask Young Master to spare your life! [Episode 14] Looks like Second Master and Fourth Master
did not worry for nothing. There is something strange about you. You could actually take an attack from me head-on. Are you really that useless young master? You're still being stubborn? Cheng Gang, do it! Yes, Young Master! Cheng Gang, to think that you would take orders from such an inexperienced brat. Your cultivation has broken through
to the Soul Cultivating Phase, which has surprised me. Looks like it has something to do
with this brat too. Enough nonsense! Die! It's Snake Tao Soul. I need
to help Cheng Gang. (But Yang Qingshi's Bull Tao Soul
is a strength-type Tao Soul.) (I'm afraid it won't cause much damage.) Got it. Indeed, it's the most common Swordsman Tao Soul. (I hope the last one will work.) Bow Tao Soul? This is useful! Although I can only use it once for a short period, if I miss this opportunity, Cheng Gang will be in danger! Now! Don't be too arrogant, and don't look down on others. I'm indeed very weak, but it doesn't mean I can't defeat you. Sanctification Pill? Ch
eng Gang, you just broke through
to the Soul Cultivating Phase. If you take this Sanctification Pill,
it will benefit you greatly. Thank you, Young Master! If you didn't appear all of a sudden, I would have been in danger. I didn't think they would be so ruthless. Young Master, do you want
to report this matter to the patriarch? No need. They would never admit it. I have no interest
in wasting time on them. You may go back first. Just pretend nothing happened. Young Master, don't you need me to
escort you? I'm worried there will be more dangers. Don't worry. I know what to do. If you leave the Yang Residence at this time, people will get suspicious. If only I had wings. If I didn't stumble upon the Bow Tao Soul, the odds would have been against me today. I have to become even stronger. (Not proud or impatient.) (I'm very relieved.) (What people think is a great achievement) (is merely one percent of
the Body Training Phase's limit.) (You're just starting out.) (You still have a long ro
ad to go.) I will get to 100 percent! (No.) (I want you to surpass that.) (That's the only way) (for you to become the strongest.) (I believe you have the potential.) Yes. I cannot be satisfied
with the limits others can reach. I will become even stronger! (What a fast learner.) Xue, we'll be entering Youyun Mountain. The road ahead will be quite dangerous. You can still return
to the residence now if you wish. Since you have decided to bring me here, I will not retreat. Alright. Cultivate yours
elf well in the cauldron. Once you've completed ten refinements, I'll let you out. Okay, I'll cultivate myself well. I hope this trip will be worth our while. (Rock Lotus are embedded in the rock crevices
on the mountain.) (Looks like I still have to climb upward.) (I hope I won't meet any formidable soul beasts.) [Episode 15] (When I was young, I heard Father say) (that Youyun Mountain has always been
the paradise for soul beasts.) (Even before that
terrifying soul beast came here,) (there were
many soul beasts here.) (It was just that they were weaker.) (Honestly,) (I don't want to meet any of them.) (Once there's a commotion,) (it might attract the attention
of other soul beasts.) (Then, we'll be in trouble.) Luckily, I didn't read
those medical books for nothing. I'm quite lucky. I actually found an old ginseng! This ginseng has at least
been growing for a hundred years. It's a rare herb. It's perfect to nourish the blood circulation. What a large saber-toothed tiger! It's the same
level as
a Blood Coagulating Phase cultivator! Nine Dragons Heaven-Breaking Fist! What a strong power. Such soul beasts are indeed difficult to deal with! Ouch... Secret soul technique! It's too dangerous. I was almost killed by just a swipe of its claws. I still have too little battle experience. Looks like I have to train more. Even if my power isn't enough, with strong enlightenment
and subtle swordsmanship, I should be able to defeat a saber-toothed tiger. There are many soul beasts in Youy
un Mountain. I have to fight some to enhance my ability. I haven't fought in a long time,
so I'm out of practice. This fight should have caused some commotion. I should quickly leave this area. Although the Medic Tao Soul
has not much attack power, it's useful for healing. I can still sell these things back in the city. Indeed, one is bound for good fortune
after surviving a disaster. Unfortunately, this saber-toothed tiger
had no Internal Pill. Otherwise, I would have made a fortune! I hope thi
s mountain has the Rock Lotus. Wait, what's going on? Two soul beasts are fighting? Oh my gosh! They're from the third class! Even if I ambush them, I won't be able to defeat them! Please don't come over. If you want to fight, please fight somewhere else. Don't drag me into this. They've finally left. What's wrong with these soul beasts? Why are they killing each other? Are they fighting for territory? This is already the last cliff. Please bless me to find it! Looks like I don't have much luck.
There's nothing here, either. Rock Lotus? I finally found it! And there are three stalks! This way, I'll have a share for Xue too! Take that! Thank goodness. I almost died. Unfortunately, it got crushed into minced meat, and it doesn't look like it has anything valuable. This is... [Episode 16] I have to leave this place as soon as possible. The secret technique
that Master has imparted to me allows me to detect cultivation
that's at most two classes higher than mine. But I can detect neither o
f their cultivation. Is it the Realm Breaking Phase? Or is it the Heaven Penetrating Phase? Who was that man? Where did he come from? Is there some kind of treasure on Youyun Mountain? It actually attracted a master hand like him. He just came to Youyun Mountain
like a gaudy fighting cock. Isn't he afraid of alerting
the Fifth-Class Soul Beast that's residing here? What has this got to do with me? That's the Heaven Penetrating Aura. So, he's in the Heaven Penetrating Phase? Heaven Penetrating Ph
ase, huh? Could it be that this soul beast is the Fifth-Class Soul Beast
that resides on Youyun Mountain? The Heaven Penetrating Phase
is a big hurdle for cultivators. Once one reaches this phase, no matter if it is a human or a soul beast, one has already established a close bond
with Heaven and Earth. The power of Heaven and Earth can be borrowed to crush those who haven't reached the same phase. What rotten luck did I get? You guys can fight all you like. But why must you drag me into it? Str
ong beings in
the Heaven Penetrating Phase are here. Something's definitely wrong
with Youyun Mountain. If there's no treasure here, I'm sure that powerful cultivator
is here for the Fifth-Class Soul Beast. Hunting a Fifth-Class Soul Beast that's alone is indeed much easier. He's leaving it just like that? Could it be that the soul beast wasn't his target? What's going on? Why are there other powerful cultivators here? He does live up to his title
as a cultivator in the Heaven Penetrating Phase.
He's actually casting away
such a huge soul beast. This is great stuff. Store. Guys, let us cast a barrier together and seal off Youyun Mountain. The five of us can stand guard here. Those young fellows can search for it. What do you think? This time, the Imperial Family, Tianyang Academy, Ziyun Academy, and Danqi Pavilion, the four major forces
of Yaoshi Mercenaries rushed here. We will definitely get our hands on that treasure. Let's follow the advice
of Tianyang Academy's leader. We shall ca
st a barrier and seal off Youyun Mountain until the treasure is found. The Imperial Family, Tianyang Academy, Ziyun Academy, Danqi Pavilion, and Yaoshi Mercenaries? All five of the elite forces
of the Great Xia Kingdom are here. (What are they up to?) What kind of treasure
is hidden in Youyun Mountain? Why are they devoting so much time
and energy to finding it? This spells trouble. Now that Youyun Mountain has been sealed off, I can't leave the place. Besides powerful cultivators
from the Five
Major Forces, powerful soul beasts have appeared as well. Many Fourth-Class Soul Beasts or above
will only appear together in those designated areas. What a chaotic situation. There's no way I can leave now. They're too powerful to take on. Even the shockwaves
from their fights can kill me. Since I have nothing to do here, why don't I brew medicine and improve my body? I've already found Rock Lotus anyway,
which is the most important ingredient. Xue, stand guard over me. It'll take at least one
day and at most three days. My cultivation will end by then. Young Master, don't worry. I will stand guard over you. No matter what happens outside, don't go out. Just remain here. It's already been five days. Why hasn't Young Master
ended his cultivation yet? [One and a half months later] The effect of the prescription is potent indeed. Although my cultivation remains the same, I can feel a huge boost in my physical strength! Ah! [Episode 17] Xue, how long was my cultivation this time? Young Ma
ster, you took almost one and a half months this time. I was so worried. One and a half months? That's a long time. I thought it only took two or three days. Seems like I was too focused on meditating. But luckily, there are still a few more days left
before the Grand Competition. I didn't miss out on it. Looks like the Five Major Forces are still here. That means the barrier is still there. Darn it. With that barrier around, I might not be able to make it back in time and attend the Grand Compe
tition. If I miss out on the Grand Competition, Yang Qinghai and Yang Qinglin will get their way. Even my parents will be implicated, let alone me. Maybe the foundation of the Yang family
will be ruined due to this. Young Master, what's the matter? Xue, continue your cultivation. Try to refine your body ten times
as soon as possible. What kinds of treasures exist here? Those powerful cultivators
spent over a month just to find it, yet they still failed. Logically speaking,
Youyun Mountain covers
just a small area. I'm sure they've searched the entire place by now. I guess those cultivators must've eradicated the soul beasts here. There are actually fish in this creek. I'm starving. I'll fill my tummy with them. I don't believe it. I'll definitely catch you guys today. Don't swim away! There's no escape. (What is that?) (The water is clearly cold.) (And the mirror handle looks normal.) (However, it's hot to the touch.) (Could this be a treasure?) Not bad. At least I caught one of you gu
ys. My effort wasn't in vain. I'm truly starving now. I'll turn you into delicious fish soup. Kid, come here. Kill that wretch, and I'll reward you. What a drag. I've accumulated too much vigor. I can't control myself
when I see something stimulating. This is tough to bear. Kid! Are you deaf? Hurry and kill her! If not, I'll kill you too! Kill her! (Judging from his getup, he looks like a crook.) (It's no wonder he's doing this.) (If so, I can only...) You wish to die? You! You want to control m
e? Do you think I'm someone to be trifled with? You were the one seeking death. Blame yourself for this. His Tao Soul. I shouldn't let it go to waste. A Twin Tao Soul? And it's a middle-level Xuan Tao Soul. It's no wonder he can
attain the Heaven Penetrating Phase. He's penniless. He has nothing valuable on him except for this sword. Powerful cultivator in
the Heaven Penetrating Phase, huh? As if! Miss, do you want a bowl of soup? I just finished cooking it. Yes. Beauty, I have something to disc
uss with you. Can you get me out of here? I came here to gather some herbs. I still need to rush home for an emergency. You came here to gather herbs? That's right. I was planning to leave
after gathering the herbs I needed. But you guys came and sealed off the whole mountain. I couldn't leave at all. Sure. Let me rest and meditate for a moment. After that, I'll get you out of here. Really? That's great! Beauty, thank you so much. How about this?
You can rest and meditate here. I'll stand guard
over you. What have you put inside the soup? [Episode 18] I didn't add anything to the soup. It's just a bowl of ordinary fish soup. I had it as well. What kind of fish did you use? I have no idea, either. I caught that fish in a creek. That's an Ice-Fire Spirit Fish. What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with it? It's a rare spirit fish. The spirit energy it contains
is hugely beneficial to one's cultivation. However, it's very domineering. When it enters a man's body,
it'll turn into qi o
f extreme Yang. When it enters a woman's body,
it'll turn into qi of extreme Yin. If one doesn't neutralize it in time, men will be burned to ashes
by their qi of extreme Yang, while women will be frozen to death
by their qi of extreme Yin. Huh? It's that serious? If so, how can we neutralize it? Beauty, hurry and tell me how to neutralize it! By balancing Yin and Yang. (Master,) (hurry and think of a solution for me!) Why are you so flustered? Who said you have to do that
to balance Yin and Yan
g? I shall teach you this method. What are you trying to do? I would rather die than do that with you... Beauty, don't worry. I don't intend to do that. I thought of another solution. We can balance the Yin and Yang qi in our bodies without doing that. You just need to cooperate with me. I'm sure you don't want to suffer
such a ridiculous death, right? Alright, I'll believe you. Don't resist. I'll lead the way. Don't move. Both of us need to close our eyes. Do not see or think. Open your eyes, a
nd I'll kill you. All right. I won't open my eyes. (Why is she being this emotional
and hostile to me now?) (I just saved her.) (But now, she's threatening to kill me.) (I would've left her to die) (had I known this would happen.) (Forget it.) (I will never see him again anyway.) (I'll let him off this time.) My goodness! Beauty, you broke your promise! You said you would get me out of here. A jade pendant? Did she leave this behind? I didn't even get to ask for her name. (I'll take this fish so
up with me.
It might be useful in the future.) Oh no. I was away for so long.
I wonder how Xue is doing. Xue! Young Master, what took you so long? I was delayed by something. Here. You can exercise your inner power. I will help you regulate it. Yes, Young Master. Leader, I found the treasure. Excellent job, Shangguan Ruoxi. You didn't let me down, indeed. You've rendered a huge merit this time. I will impart the Qingye Sword Technique to you once we return to the academy. Thank you, Leader. Ever
yone, please excuse me. The treasure belongs to the Tianyang Academy now. Young Master, I've already reached
the fifth level of the Body Training Phase. And I've reached the seventh level
of the Body Training Phase. In my current state, ordinary cultivators in the Soul Cultivating Phase
are no match for me. That's right. It's midnight now. The Grand Competition will be held tomorrow. What should I do to make it back in time? Young Master, I think the barrier has vanished. The barrier is gone? Ev
en the heavens are siding with me! (The Lightning Bird Tao Soul is useful indeed.) (Now, I can fly without the flying skill.) [Episode 19] Have you seen your brother? Yang Qian is here. [Yang Qian] Yang Qian, you're here. It's quite lively here in the residence. Yang Yuan is back. (It's Yang Yuan of Ziyun Academy) [Yang Yuan]
(with a lower-level Tao Soul of the Di Class.) Be good. What's that? Baisha Wolf, the upper-level soul beast
of the Xuan Class. Its strength is in the third class. Is this
your battle beast, Yuan? Yes, Grandpa. I humbled this battle beast one year ago. Well done. Yuan, you never disappoint me. You've reached the Soul Cultivating Phase
before eighteen. No one in the Yang family could do that. Yuan. I know you're promising. You flatter me, Fourth Granduncle. I still have a long way to go. It will only take you a few more years to surpass the older generation. You're the hope of the Yang family. Scratch that. I don't think Yang Xin'er
is inferior to Yang Yuan. Greeti
ngs to Chief and all elders. It's almost time, Qingtian. Shall we start now? But Chen hasn't arrived yet. Do we all have to wait for him alone? Don't tell me we are going to postpone
the Grand Competition if he doesn't show up today. But... I haven't met Yang Chen in some years. I'd like to meet him. Qingtian, we should start now. Maybe Yang Chen doesn't have the guts to come back. Otherwise... How lively! Looks like I have made it in time. Greetings to Grandpa, Third Granduncle, and all elders.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Yang Chen. Long time no see. (Well, well.) (Yang Yuan is here too.) (Sheesh, this snide.) Right, long time no see. I suppose you must have done very well
in Ziyun Academy. You're a genius, after all. Pretty good. I should congratulate you
on having your Tao Soul awakened. You must be a prominent physician in the future. It's almost time. The Grand Competition should start now. Grandpa. The purpose of the Grand Competition this year is to select the next chief. I sugge
st we try something new. What are you up to this time? We'll make this a challenge. The man who survives last will be the winner and become the chief of the family. What do you say? Great idea. Let's do this. We can save time, too. Sounds reasonable. The winner will carry all the rewards home. This is good enough to spur those young chaps. We'll do as Yang Chen suggests. Very well. I'll be the first one. Come up to the ring if you think you can defeat me. If not, I'm going to take all the reward
s. In your dream! Who do you think you are to win the rewards? Yang Qing, go up there and defeat him. Yes. It can't be. You are not powerful enough. Off the ring. No... It can't be. Well. Very well. Yang Chen, I've underestimated you. I'm going to show you the wide gap between the Body Training Phase
and the Blood Coagulating Phase. Oh? You've attained the Blood Coagulating Phase? It must have been a great effort. But who told you I'm in the Body Training Phase? You're in the same phase as me? H
ow could it be? No way. It's impossible
that his cultivation improves this quickly. Amazing! Yang Chen has reached
the Blood Coagulating Phase! I've been practicing for more than a decade. Never imagine you can surpass me
with a mere three months' cultivation. Take this! No! I can't believe this! You ask for it. Who else wants to challenge me? If you're hesitating, you can come all at once. I'm itching to know what you geniuses have got. Hubris! Do you really think no one can take you down? [Yan
g Long] [Episode 20] (The grandson of Yang Qinglin) (is in the eighth level
of the Blood Coagulating Phase.) Not bad. I guess his strength weighs 200,000 jin. No, Long! Yuan, we're counting on you. Grandpa. I've reached the fifth level
of the Soul Cultivating Phase. It's not a fair game to Chen. I have a suggestion. I'll let my battle beast fight Chen. What do you say, Chen? If you said so, I have no objection. Yet, does it count as my victory
if I defeat your battle beast? Yuan, don't take the
competition lightly. Oh, Second Granduncle seems to be worried. You should attend the battle yourself, Yuan. I'm a man of my word. It's considered your victory if you take my battle beast down. Chen, no pressure. That's the Baisha Wolf of the third class. Chen, no need to push yourself. I don't want you to get hurt. Father, Mother, no worries.
I know what to do. I'm a grown-up. All right. Come on, Yang Chen! You got this. (Does Chen) (has a Twin Tao Soul?) (If he has a Twin Tao Soul,) (he must b
e eliminated.) (What a Baisha Wolf.) (You're indeed ferocious.) (If I'm not mistaken,) (Yang Yuan possesses a Wolf Tao Soul.) (Manipulating the Baisha Wolf
with his Wolf Tao Soul,) (his prowess must be reckoned with.) (The strength of this Baisha Wolf
should be 80,000 jin at least.) (It's not wise to fight it head-on.) Chen! Bite him. It's not even a contest. This Baisha Wolf is stronger than I expected. It was teasing me before. And now, it begins to fight seriously. I'm afraid it won't work ou
t if I ambush it with the secret soul technique. No, I must think of some other ways. I'm going all out. Tao Soul, ablaze! Excellent! Well done! Great! Amazing, Young Master Chen. That's awesome. No way! My victory is at the cost of losing one of my Tao Souls. My strength is reduced, too. What a costly victory. Darned it, this prick! (I went to great lengths
to humble this battle beast.) (How could Yang Chen...) The blood of a Third-Class Soul Beast
is a real treasure. Well-played, Chen. If ther
e is a chance, we should have a spar. Yuan, I'm so sorry for having killed your battle beast. You should retrieve its body and blood
if you want. Never mind. You just reached the Blood Coagulating Phase. Keep them for yourself. The Grand Competition is over. I need to head back for an important assessment in the academy. Chief, Grandpa, and all elders, I shall take my leave. [Episode 21] Yuan. Chen. Well done. I will teach you another technique next time. You didn't let me down. Thank you, Grand
pa. I'll work even harder to become stronger. That is my duty as your grandson. I hereby announce that the champion is Yang Chen. Yang Qingyun shall be the next chief
of the Yang family. The swearing-in ceremony
will be held in three days. Bravo! Yes! Yang Chen is so amazing. Uncle Qingyun will be the chief. Yay! Oh, no. I have to return to Fenglan Academy now. I shouldn't dally. Chief. Thanks. Here, Chen, this is your reward. [Three Days Later] I think I'm fully recovered now. Time to sleep. To
morrow is my father's swearing-in ceremony. I'm too excited to fall asleep. (Sneaking in at night,) (he must be after something.) Who are you? Who are you? Mother, are you all right? I'm fine. Yun, are you all right? Wake up. Chen. Is your father all right? His meridian system is utterly destroyed. So are his organs. Even worse, he is poisoned. His health is in a critical state. Mother. Give Father to me. Let me stabilize his condition first. (Such grave injuries...) (Can I even save him?) Chen,
what happened? Ah! What happened? Xin, the assassin was too swift. I lost him. What happened to Qingyun? Check that spot. - Copy.
- Copy. What is the emergency at this late hour? Qingyun? What happened to him? Father was ambushed and poisoned. Can he be saved? It doesn't look like it. I beg your pardon. Are you the one behind the assassination? Nonsense! Why would I assassinate Qingyun? I hope that's true. Once I identify the assassin, he will pay the price. Yang Chen, do not frighten us. We ha
ve never committed this deed. You can investigate it as you please. Xin. Qingyun is now injured. I think the swearing-in ceremony
must be postponed. I shall inform the Zhaos, the Wangs, and the Lius to spare them the unnecessary journey. Qinghai, I'll come with you. I'm an eyesore here anyway. We need to reinforce the security here. Someone else might be the next victim. They must have something to do with this. They will go to extreme lengths to stop my father from becoming the chief. Grandpa,
Third Granduncle. Please keep an eye out for those two. See if they contact anyone. Also, tighten the security. This assassin might just be the beginning. Alas, our family will soon plunge into chaos. - Focus now.
- Yes. This is no good. I can only find some basic antidotes here. There's nothing
on the poison Father was inflicted. What a peculiar poison. It attacks the Tao Soul. It won't kill but it paralyzes its victim until the person becomes a cripple. (Darn it.) (I need to save Father as soo
n as possible.) (I have to risk it.) (Let me ingest some of the poison.) (In this case,) (I can concoct an antidote as soon as possible.) Chen! What are you doing? You reckless fool! Mother. Do not worry. I can handle this. I will save Father. I promise. Chen, promise me that you will be safe. I cannot lose you. You won't, Mother. I will always stay by your side. And Xin'er, too. This family will forever be together. [Episode 22] [Yang Residence] So, Chen? (What) (are the components of the poiso
n?) (Darn it!) (I have to expel it now.) This is the recipe for the poison? Everything was revealed. Wait... And this is the recipe of the antidote? Mother. Put your mind at ease. Father will be safe. Take care of him now. I will go to Grandpa to concoct the antidote. Chen, we have all the ingredients except for the blood of a Fifth-Class Soul Beast. It is a rarity. You might not even find one in Mangu City. Besides, a century-old Frost Spring? I highly doubt you can find it here. I have the blo
od of a Fifth-Class Soul Beast. But Grandpa, are you sure that the entire Mangu City
doesn't have a century-old Frost Spring? You have the blood of a Fifth-Class Soul Beast? It was a fortuitous find. But I am sure of its authenticity. We just need a century-old Frost Spring to make the antidote. So? Do we have a way to save Qingyun now? Yes. But we need a century-old Frost Spring? A century-old Frost Spring? I know where to find it. Where? Phantom Mountain. What? Phantom Mountain? Where is it? I
t is located in the southeast,
100 lis away from Mangu City. It is believed that the Xia Army once fought
a terrible battle with soul beasts there. Many people died. That is why it is always shrouded by Yin energy. Ever since someone
in the Heaven Penetrating Phase died there, no one dares approach the mountain. That is a no-go area. Let's think of an alternative. Grandpa, Third Granduncle. I shall head back and think what can be used as a substitute. Hey! (Sorry, Grandpa.) (I have to do this) (
at all costs.) [Six Hours Later] It sure is a scary place. As expected from a place called Phantom Mountain. If this place dates back to millennia ago, the Frost Spring will be more than a century old and will be more potent. Oh, no. The gravity is heavier here. I don't believe in spirits or ghosts anyway. So many ceramic wares. (Where is the Frost Spring?) (Father can't hold up for too long.) Ah! What on earth? Who's there? So many coffins. Is this the Xia Army's burial place? Who are you? How
dare you trespass into the mausoleum? Oh, dear! [Episode 23] I'll give my all. The Spirit Potions Cauldron saved me again. I didn't know it was this powerful. These are... (They must be the artifacts left behind
by a past legendary figure.) (Part of their power still remains.) (If they're used well, they are strong enough) (to kill someone in the Heaven Penetrating Phase.) Soul Harpoon? A Tian-Class archery technique. Combined with the Soul Bow and Soul Quiver, they'll make a formidable combo! Y
in Jade? A jade made from the qi of extreme Yin. It can also adsorb the qi of Yin to boost my training progress. So that fireball was a Tao Soul. I have attained
the ninth level of the Body Training Phase. I should make haste and find the Frost Spring now. I found you! By the taste of it, it is at least
a millennium old. Nice. This change in aura... Adversity brings prosperity. Yang is found in a place full of Yin. And it nourishes this Solar Ginseng. It's a good one at that. It can be used for
medicinal purposes. I have gathered everything. It's time to head back to make the antidote. Make full use of the daylight! Keep up! Yes, sir. Yang Qingsheng? Why is he here? [Episode 24] The Vicious Tigers? Darn it! We have a traitor among us. Congratulations, Qingsheng. You are now the overseer of the Yang Residence. Thank you. The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder are liquidating Yang Qingtian's wealth. When this batch of goods reaches Tianyang Academy, I'll recommend you to be the new comman
der. You will serve the Yang Residence.
What say you? It's an honor to have this offer. Very well! Qingtian, is this worth it? Qingtian. You should see the sorry state you're in. Don't worry. Since we grew up together, I won't take your life. You may live out your days in peace. Qinglin. How is the liquidation going? Most in the residence are the practical kind. They are willing to serve the new chief. We've also seized the stubborn remnants. Wonderful! What about Yang Chen? Have you found him?
Not yet. But our men are searching
inside and outside the city. Darn the old fool. What can you possibly do in this state? Slap him! That worthless rascal
isn't capable of making any waves. If he dares show himself, I will make sure he begs for a swift death! Indeed. Report! Chief, Master Mo Ming is here. Hyah. Master Mo Ming is one of the best alchemists out there. He and our chief are close. Now... Ambush! Darn it! It seems this magic item was damaged. It might crumble soon if I keep using it.
Who are you? Come out. We can talk this through. You just killed the commander
of these mercenaries. I am nothing but a lowly supervisor. Please have mercy on me. You can take all the wealth we have here. Gentleman. Let's be friends. Take anything you want. Yang Chen? (He couldn't have fired the arrows.) (Is there more trouble at the house?) (Something is amiss.) Leave the valuables and scram. Then, you'll have my mercy. You... You're doing this alone? Yeah. What's the matter? Going back on you
r words? You little rascal! A Sixth-Class Soul Beast Pill? Yang Qinghai sure is generous. Just you wait! Young Master Yang Yuan will come after you! [Master Mo Ming] Master Mo Ming, welcome, welcome! It's an honor, Qinghai. I should congratulate you, Qinghai. You've become the head of the Yang family,
just like you wanted. I couldn't have done it without your poison. Otherwise, my plan wouldn't have been a success. Come on. Master Mo Ming. Let's go inside. Chief! Who did that? Little rascal! You
... A bow and arrows? Wait... Are you the Triple Tao Soul? [Episode 25] Impossible! Twin Tao Soul is rare enough. I've never heard of a Triple Tao Soul! Mangu City has never had a freak like him! What's going on? Isn't that Yang Chen? -It's him!
-Why did he come back? Seize that cursed rascal! I want him captured alive! Little rascal, surrender yourself! -What...
-This can't be... Petty tricks. Kill him! Was it you who gave Yang Qinghai
and Yang Qinglin the poison? That's right. It was my doing.
Who else in Mangu City is capable of brewing a poison powerful enough to bring
one of Heaven Penetrating Phase to their knees? Great. Very well. I was told you were close with the Wang family. Why would you help these two old geezers? It's simple. They offered a price I'm happy with. The herb garden your family owns
in the east of this city is worth the risk. I underestimated you. To hurt your own kinsmen, you'd even hand over your ancestral inheritance! I guess there's no need to spare your li
ves. Cursed... What do you want? It wasn't my doing! I swear! I don't know anything! Yang Chen, have mercy on me! I won't cause you any trouble ever again! Whatever you want of me, just say it. Hold on. Only I can cure your family of my poison. How about we look past this feud? Look past this feud? My father was almost crippled. Did you really think
I'd let you get away with it? Ten pills!
No, how about twenty pills of the Xuan Class? If... Even if you atoned for this mistake, you'd use your Tao
Soul to commit crimes again. This certainly is a rare item. Yang Chen, please spare me. I can be your servant! Please have mercy on me. Young Master, Yang Qinghai forced us
to commit these crimes. Had we not obeyed, he would've crippled us with his poison! We didn't have a choice. But we've never done anything
to harm our kinsmen. Yes! Consanguineous elders like us
never had any real power. We could only obey their orders. I can spare you. But I want you to swear an oath to stay loyal to the Ya
ng family forever. Otherwise, you will suffer
the same fate as Yang Qinghai. Yes. We swear. Very well. I want you to take control of Yang Qinghai's and Yang Qinglin's people. Also, I want everyone who's been locked up
to be released. Yes. Grandpa. Third Granduncle. How are you? Chen. You did a great job. You will be the one to decide everything that goes on in this family. Your granduncle and I are crippled. You are the last pillar of our family. Grandpa, don't worry. I found the Frost Spring. I
can start brewing the antidote soon. You will both recover. Please bear with it for now. You went to Phantom Mountain? Thankfully, I did. Otherwise, I would have been killed
by those old geezers. Perhaps this is fate. Indeed. Heaven is watching over our family. Well, we have nothing to worry about now. Chen, do what you must. Grandpa. Let's go, Third Brother. Give out my order. No one is allowed to enter
or leave the Yang Residence. We don't want the other Big Three to come poking. Yes. Young M
aster Yang. We've done a preliminary investigation. Madam Jiang, Xue, Cheng Gang, and Yang Huan are safe. They are suffering from Mo Ming's poison. They can be saved with the proper antidote. Have you found out who the traitor was? Young Master, according to our investigation, all the remnants who conspired
with Yang Qinghai and Yang Qinglin are all on this list. Rest assured, Young Master, I will get to the bottom of this. None shall get away with this. Fellow elders. How should we deal with th
em? Well... Isn't it obvious? Punish them according to our family law. A death sentence for all of them. You mean... [Episode 26] There are so many clansmen on this list. If we punish them as per the clan's rules, everyone will be at risk. It'd be bad for the future of the clan. I think sending Yang Qinghai, Yang Qinglin,
and the others to Yang Ancestral Residence
to tend to the fields will do. Young Master Yang. You are so broad-minded
at such a young age. You have a bright future ahead of you.
Save the flattery. Oh. By the way, give the order to punish the clansmen
using my name. Understood. (Since someone has to be the villain,) (it's enough that I play the part alone.) Yang Chen. I'll do anything you want. I don't want to become worthless. I can let bygones be bygones, but you must swear your loyalty to me. I won't tell anyone else about it. You are still the elder young master
of the Wang family. Also, I can get rid of your master's poison. I can teach you as well
if you wish to l
earn. I'll do it. Good. Stand up. As long as you do as you're told, I'll treat you fairly. I'll make you the top alchemist
in Mangu City. Thank you, my Lord. Don't call me that. Just Young Master Chen will do. I don't want you to make a mistake
when we're in public. Yes, Young Master Chen. Let's go. Take me to your master's place. Let's see what treasures we can find. This is my ma... I mean, the old man's place. Don't worry, Young Master Yang. The old man is a recluse. He doesn't even have any
servants, let alone guards. You can take anything you want. In just a few decades, he has amassed almost as much as the Yang family has
in over a hundred years. No matter what you see, don't tell anyone else about it. They're all of the lowest quality. Only these two are of medium quality. This is a pretty good sword. I'll take it. The rest are of somewhat decent quality. You can have them. Thank you, Young Master Chen. What a great discovery. Top-quality Huang Class pills. Not bad. Not bad at a
ll. How wonderful! I've been looking for medical texts. This is exactly what I wanted. Take these books and study them well. They'll be of great help to you. (This is a Xuan Class technique.) (It is far stronger than the techniques
we have in Yang Residence.) (With this technique,) (the overall might of Yang Residence
will increase by a lot.) (Perhaps it will help Grandpa
achieve a higher cultivation realm.) A puppet? What a good find. I gained a new treasure
that can be used for defense. Come.
Let's go to the alchemy room. Looks like your master
is making an entire cauldron of pills. Excellent. For now, you can stand guard here until the pills are completed. Once they're done,
I won't take the cauldron. You can use it
to refine your medical skills. You can use the medicinal herbs here. Thank you, Young Master Chen. Hm? Failed pills. Young Master Chen. Is there a use for these failed pills? There is indeed. I know how to turn them
into usable spirit pills. Turning failed pills into spi
rit pills? That's... Young Master Chen. There are a lot more failed pills
over there. Great. I'll take everything. Once I have some spare time, I'll turn them all into spirit pills. It'll be an abundant supply of resources
for cultivation. Stay here and watch over the cauldron. Also, make the most of your time
by studying these medical books. If anything happens, head to Yang Residence at once
to inform me. [Yang Residence] Young Master Chen. Elders from the main and branch families
have emerged
from isolation. They are furious right now. They demand an explanation from you. [Episode 27] Elders from the main and branch families? They are the family's
Heaven Penetrating Phase experts. Their bout of isolation was them lending a hand
to Yang Qinghai's betrayal. That explains their brazen actions. So they have their backers. Oh no. The energy's all gone. Young Master Chen. Maybe we should inform the chief. I'd like to see
what the two of them want to do. [Yang Residence] How dare you, Yang
Chen? That's what I want to ask you. You ancient parasites. Not only did you hide yourself
when the family was in trouble, but you also incited chaos. This is preposterous. My hand. I can't feel it. You brat. You poisoned me. Dishonorable! You're both
Heaven Penetrating Phase experts. I, Yang Chen, am not stupid enough
to take you head on. Don't worry. The poison
only takes away all your powers. It won't kill you. Take them away. Yes. Armor Tao Soul! Has he ever given the family any armor? No.
Parasite. You, search his isolation chamber and take everything that's useful. Also, send them to the old residence
to tend the field as punishment. Yes, Young Master Chen. We cannot waste time. Time to make the antidote. How's your father doing, Chen? Don't worry, Mom. He'll be alright. I'm making a medicinal soup
that can reconnect meridians. Once Dad wakes up, I'll reconnect his meridians. Not only will he not become weak, but he'll also gain more power. I'll make some porridge. Your father l
oves my porridge. Mom. Xue, take care of my dad. If anything happens, come to the conference hall and find me. Yes. Don't worry, Young Master. I'll take care of the master. Thank you. Young Master Chen. Everyone sit. Grandpa. Third Granduncle. How do you feel? Chen. The antidote you made is remarkable. It cleared out all the poison's effects. I have regained all my strength. Yeah. I thought I was done for. Never thought I'd be healed. This is all thanks to you, Chen. That's good to hear. How abo
ut the manuals?
What do you think of them? Great. Very great. With these exercises, our family will surely rise higher. If I cultivate
to the instructions of this manual, perhaps I can reach
the Heaven Penetrating Phase too. So, tell us what's your next plan, Chen. I'm going to make big changes. From now on, there will be
no main-branch distinction in the family. We'll be fair to everyone. The giving of resources
will be based on meritocracy not family status. That'll motivate the family members
to cultivate. Those who perform well will gain access
to better techniques, secret techniques, and more resources. What do you think? It's a good idea, Chen. I've been too much
of a stickler for rules. We should've done that a long time ago. Don't worry, Grandpa. I will not let you down. [Episode 28] These are the treasures
Yang Qinghai took from the house, as well as some resources from Mo Ming. I'll be selecting the family's elites
tomorrow. Those who are loyal to the family should not be mal
igned. [Yang Huan] Yang Chen! Yang Chen. What are we testing today? Two main agendas. One, Tao soul rank. Two, talent for martial arts
and secret techniques. Those who perform well
will be the clan's elite disciples and enjoy greater resources. What are these? Whoa. So many coins and soul weapons. Whoa. So many coins, pills,
and soul weapons. Those who become elites are entitled to ten Huang Class pills and ten thousand coins. Ten pills? If your Tao Soul is a weapon, you can pick a soul weapon
y
ou need from this pile. Ten thousand coins and a soul weapon? If you fail the test to be an elite, don't give up. You'll get your chance later. This time, you will also be rewarded
with three Huang Class pills and three thousand coins. Three thousand coins? That's all for the rules. Now the test begins. Yang Huan. Be the first taker. Yeah. I'll be an elite for sure. Not bad. Swordsman Tao Soul,
Xuan Class upper-level. Good talent. Good. Good swordsmanship. Awesome. You can be an elite disciple.
Huan. This is your reward. Take it and go to the Hall of Books. The chief will give you some pointers. Yeah, I'm going right now. Love you, Yang Chen. Young Master Yang. I have done inventory. We've given out eight hundred
Huang Class Pills and eight hundred thousand coins. With these resources, the clan will become stronger. Good. The three of us are finally reunited. We shall hold the ceremony tomorrow so you can inherit the position of chief. Grandpa. About Dad's succession, I'd like to defer
it for a bit. Let me explain. I used a thousand-year-old Frost Spring,
Sixth-Class Soul Beast Internal Pill, two middle-level spirit herbs, and Xuan Class pills
to make a lot of herbal soup. With this soup, I can improve everyone's cultivation. With this, our clan will be stronger than ever. If we hold the succession ceremony then, I think we can
intimidate the other families. They won't get any ideas about us. That is good. We'll do as Chen says. [Names of herbs and composition] Let's try out
the recipe
I got from Mo Ming. This Spirit Potions Cauldron is amazing. The quality is
even better than I imagined. Next, let's
try the middle-level Huang Class pill. It only has a 50% success rate. The upper-level Huang Class pill
seems to be the best I can do for now. I need to practice more
to become familiar with it soon. I need to achieve 100% success
in pill refining as soon as possible. Who's there? Young Master. A young man named Wang
mentioned some pill was nearly done. He told you to h
urry over, but he didn't say where. (Could it be Wang Chi?) Alright, I'll be there right away. Young Master Chen. The pill is about to be completed. Its fragrance is spreading out. It's
a high-quality Xuan Class spirit pill. Mo Ming has some skills. It seemed he spared no expense
to refine this pill. I was wondering why there weren't
many precious herbs in the treasury. You can have this spirit pill. Be careful while refining it. Once it's completed,
your soul will become much stronger. Alchemy
will become much easier for you, and your cultivation will break through. I can have this? Of course. I promised
to train you as a master alchemist. I'll ensure it becomes a reality. Go ahead and take it now. I'll be here to protect you and ensure nothing goes wrong for you. Thank you, Young Master Chen. [Episode 29] His soul is still too weak, If not controlled properly, the medicine's effect could directly
shatter the soul. It's such a pity. Wang Chi's body can't absorb it all. Let me give it
a try and see just how powerful this pill is. Not good. The pill
is imbued with an overwhelming vitality. My body can't handle it. Chen. Your chance has come. Now is the best time
to open your second hara. A second hara? If you want to perfect
the Nine Dragons Heaven-Breaking Fist, you must find a way to open
your second hara. Use it to nurture dragon energy and also to store more vital energy to help you become even more powerful when breaking through
to the Blood Coagulating Phase. But Master,
how do I open the second hara? Opening the second hara
is no small feat. It requires an abundance of vital energy. If there are no fortuitous encounters, you will have to slowly accumulate it
yourself. This process
will undoubtedly be very slow. Doesn't that mean it will take an eternity for me to break through
to the Blood Coagulating Phase? Alright. I'll give it a try. Just a little more. Let's do this. I finally did it. Otherwise,
it would have been a big loss this time. Although my cultivat
ion hasn't improved, I've opened the second hara. My cultivation will
be twice as effective from now on. I've broken through
to the Blood Coagulating Phase, and my Tao Soul has transformed. Middle-level Tao Soul of the Xuan Class. Fantastic. Thank you for training me,
Young Master Chen. I swear allegiance to you. Get up. I don't like such formal tone. You should consolidate your cultivation
here for now. With your current soul strength, you should be able to try alchemy. Start with the basics. R
emember, when practicing alchemy,
use your soul energy to comprehend, and don't make the slightest mistake. Yes. I will certainly not disappoint you,
Young Master Chen. [Yang Residence] Young Master Chen. Chief Yang and the others
have ended their isolation, and they're waiting for you
in the conference hall. That's great. Yes, I have made
a significant breakthrough. Chen. The medicine you prepared
is truly remarkable. My cultivation
has unexpectedly advanced by one stage. Qingtian. I've broken
through two stages
in my cultivation. I'm now at the ninth level
of the Realm Breaking Phase. It seems I also have a chance
to reach the Heaven Penetrating Phase. Chen, thanks to you, I have finally
reached the Realm Breaking Phase too. Father. There's no need for
such formalities between us. Rest assured. I will protect your mother and not let her suffer any harm. Mm. I'll check on Mother
when I have some free time and see if all of the remaining poison
has been cleared. Thank you for your kind
ness,
Young Master Chen. This is just the beginning. Now that everyone has
improved their aptitude, we should aim for higher realms. I hope in the near future
to see more experts or more Heaven Penetrating Phase experts
emerge from the Yang family. Since everyone has
emerged from isolation, the patriarchal succession ceremony
will be held three days from now. Go and deliver the invitations
to the Zhao, Wang, and Liu families. That's right. Let the three major families
have a good look, so they d
on't get any more ideas. Yes, Young Master Chen. By the way. Gang, please wait a moment. This is
a lower-level Xuan Class soul weapon. I'm giving it to you. Thank you, Young Master Chen. The rest of you, go over there. Mother. What happened
to your Inner Tao Soul Palace? How did the Tao Soul inside it shatter? Inner Tao Soul Palace? Do I have an Inner Tao Soul Palace? Chen. Is it true that your mother has
an Inner Tao Soul Palace? None of you know about it? That couldn't be. Even if Father didn'
t know, you should have known that,
right, Mother? I didn't know. There are things we've never told you. (Years ago,
I was gravely injured for some reason.) (Your father saved me.) (But I couldn't remember anything) (when I woke up.) (Many years have passed,) but I still haven't been
able to recall who I am. The only thing I've always kept with me
is this jade pendant. Today, I'm giving it to you. I hope it will always
protect you and keep you safe. [Episode 30] I've never heard of this before.
So, it turns out, Mother,
you were actually saved by Father. (I guess when my mother's Tao Soul
was destroyed, it had a significant impact
on her soul.) (The chances of recovery
are probably very slim.) (Master.) (Do you have a way to deal with this?) Perhaps you can try
using the Spirit Potions Cauldron. Mother, please don't resist. I want to try and see
if I can repair your Tao Soul. Alright, as you say. (Spirit Medicine Cauldron.) (It's all up to you now.) Mother. You're really amazing. Your
Tao Soul is actually
of Tian Class middle-level. What? You're saying... The Tian Class middle-level?! Why are all of you
looking at me like that? Yue. I'm so happy. I don't care
what kind of Tao Soul you have. As long as you have a Tao Soul and can cultivate, we, as a couple, can cultivate together and be together forever. I'm also very happy. Now, our family can cultivate together. Chen. Some things have
inexplicably appeared in my head, like cultivation exercise
and techniques, but I can't spe
ak of it. It seems there's
a restriction placed on it. Mother. Your origins are indeed not simple. These cultivation techniques and secrets
are definitely extraordinary. You can cultivate them properly. By the way, it's best not to
spread the fact that Mother has Tian Class middle-level Tao Soul. to avoid unnecessary trouble. (I wonder how Yang Xin'er is doing.) (And Ziyun Academy, and also Yang Yuan.) Dad. Have all the cultivation resources
sent to Xin'er been delivered? The convoy reports
that
they've already been delivered. You can rest assured. After being so busy for so many days, you should also take a good rest. In that case, I'll take my leave. [Three days later] [Yang Residence] The patriarch of the Wang family
has arrived. [Patriarch of the Wang family,
Wang Zhenshan] Mr. Zhenshan. It's been a long time. (His strength has improved so much.) Mr. Qingtian. Congratulations. You've finally unloaded the heavy burden and can enjoy your freedom from now on. Yes. Qingyun. Come and re
ceive Mr. Zhenshan. Mr. Zhenshan. Forgive me,
but I have to receive Mr. Yuansheng. Senior Zhenshan. Please enter the mansion first. You've reached the Ream Breaking Phase,
Qingyun, haven't you? What a cause for celebration. Compared to you, I am nothing. I still have a lot more
to learn from you, Senior. Mr. Zhenshan. It's been a long time. [Patriarch of the Liu family,
Liu Yuansheng] Greetings, Senior Liu. My friends, Zhenshan, Yuansheng. You two arrived earlier than me. [Lord of Mangu City, Zh
ao Yanpeng]
You two arrived earlier than me. Greetings, Your Lordship. Seniors. This way please. [Yang Residence] Please. [Yang Residence] Good. Young Master. It's so lively outside, why are you staying in? Too many things have happened recently, and I finally have a chance to rest. Why should I join the excitement? If you want to go, go ahead. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here and serve you,
Young Master. Xue, give it a try. See if you can pick it up. It seems this mirror
is truly connecte
d to you. Try placing a drop of your blood on it. Young Master. This... I've been studying this ancient mirror
for a while. Unfortunately, it's not meant for me, but it seems to be your destiny. Young Master. It transmitted a cultivation exercise and a kind of technique to me. A treasure containing a legacy? What grade is it? It's probably of King Class. The cultivation exercise and technique
it transmitted to me are also King Class, and they resonate well with my Tao Soul. This is truly a great
opportunity. There's no need to worry
about your cultivation anymore. Young Master. I can't speak out
the details of this inheritance. A precious inheritance like this naturally cannot be casually given
to anyone. You should
use the power of your Tao Soul. to nurture it properly for a while. Return to your room and cultivate. Yes. That's right. The several treasures I've obtained
from the wilderness. [Episode 31] These should be some kind of characters. Unfortunately, I don't know any of them.
I'll have to ask the Master. (Luckily, it helped.) (Otherwise,) (I really wouldn't know
how to deal with those guys.) (Hmm?) It Looks like
that once I memorize a character, it'll disappear. Interesting. [Eight hours later] Finally, it's done. It's an exercise
for the Blood Coagulating Phase. A Saint Class exercise, the Seven Apertures
Blood Coagulating Method. Transforming the ordinary heart
into a refined seven-aperture heart, and refine the most potent blood energy. It's so exquisite. Next, I
only need to refine my body, break through the limits
of the Tempering Body Realm and then I can advance
to the Blood Coagulating Phase. Young Master. The Patriarch is waiting for you
in the conference hall. The representatives
of City Lord Residence have arrived. Representatives of City Lord Residence? For what? Chief, what do you say... You've come, Young Master Chen. Father. Is there something important
that you've summoned me for? Chen. Where have the two elders
of the Yang family gone? Well
... They... The two elders are missing? I've sent them
to the Yang Ancestral Residence. They incited Yang Qinghai
to rebel against authority, a crime punishable by death. Moreover, over these years, have they made any contributions
to the residence besides consuming resources? What's even more infuriating is they not only show no remorse, but also intend to seize the patriarchy
amid the chaos. Punishment is a must to gain the trust of others. Young Master Chen's action
has been supported by us.
Please ponder over it,
Grand Elder, Chief. Yes. Perhaps you are right. In major family matters,
one should be decisive. Many times, I have indeed been too indecisive, which has led to the current situation. Grandfather. Please believe me. Everything I've done was for the Yang Residence. Only by removing those troublemakers can the Yang Residence truly develop. I know. Everything you've done
has been selfless. Forget it. I've finally unloaded the burden
of being the patriarch. Why bother seeking
trouble again? Qingfeng. Let's go play chess. Well done, Chen. Actually, I've long had a problem
with the two old bags. It's good that the patriarch
isn't upset. Father, is there anything important? The City Lord would like
to invite you to his residence. Young Master Yang. His Lordship would like to have you
as a guest at his residence. Would you be interested in it? The City Lord wants me to be his guest? Why? I... I don't know. Chen. Since it's a gracious invitation
from the City Lord, you sh
ould go. Alright. It just so happens
that I've never been there before. Young Master Yang, please. The carriage is ready for you. I shall take my leave now, Chief Yang. It looks like Chen
also has the potential to be a patriarch. [City Lord Residence] [City Lord Residence] Hold. Young Master Yang. His Lordship has been waiting inside
for quite some time. Please follow me. (A martial expert
of the Heaven Penetrating Phase?) (The City Lord has sent
such a skilled expert to welcome me.) (He sure is
giving me quite the honor.) [City Lord Residence] (There's no doubt) (that he is reporting everything
he has heard in the Yang Residence.) Yang Chen. You've finally come. Your Lordship. No need for formalities. Come, let's sit down and talk. Yang Chen, help yourself. These pastries were specially prepared
by my people. If you don't like them, I can have them made again. And this, you must try. It's a middle-level spirit fruit. Your Lordship. May I know why you have summoned me? Honestly, I hear
d that you can cure
unusual poisons, so I'd like to ask for your help. Oh? But shouldn't you be seeking Master Mo Ming's help? I heard that he is
highly skilled in medicine and poison making. Detoxification should be easy
for him, right? Naturally,
I've consulted Master Mo Ming. However, even he is powerless
against such a strange poison. Even after searching
for renowned doctors in the Capital, there was still no solution. That's why I wanted to ask you
to give it a try. Oh. May I know who is t
he poison sufferer? [Episode 32] Well, it's my unfortunate granddaughter. Ten years ago, my only son,
along with his wife and daughter, met an accident on their way home. Both my son and daughter-in-law
died of poisoning. Only my poor granddaughter
barely survived. Her intellect has been unchanged
since the age of seven. She can never recover. If I lose my granddaughter as well, I don't know how
to live the rest of my life. Only her intellect is affected. There isn't any other issue, right? Ther
e were no other problems at first. But recently, she was attacked again. Her life is hanging by a thread. Yang Chen. I implore you to save her at all costs. I'm not sure if I can save her, but I can at least check on her. There might be a way. As long as you're willing to help. Come. I'll take you
to see her right away. Let's go. Right this way. Yuxin. Yuxin. How could you be so heartless
to leave me? Yuxin. (Wait.) (She's not dead.) (Her life force is just suppressed.) (She's in a state
of susp
ended animation.) Zhao Yanpeng. Zhao Yanpeng. To watch your granddaughter dying, how does it feel? You are the poisoner? Who exactly are you? What grudge is there between us? A nobody like you
is not worth my attention. However, you killed my only disciple. I want you to suffer. Ten years ago... You are the Poison King's master. You dared to kill the disciple of me,
the Poison Sage. Nobody can save you now. Poison Sage? The one who annihilated several cities and cultivates the poison arts. Zhao
Yanpeng. Today is the day to pay your debt. I will have the entire Mangu City buried with you. Bring it on! Such an idiot. Your Lordship. [East City Market] (That's bad.) That demon wants to wipe out the city. That's terrible. Poison Sage. What an annoying fly. (Poison Sage) (is killing the innocent again.) Poison Sage. One day, I'll make you pay as well. [Yang Residence] Young Master Chen. Is everyone okay? Chen. Are you alright? I'm fine, Grandpa. What's the situation in the residence? Some po
ison gas appeared
out of nowhere earlier, and it spread
through most of the residence. Everyone inside the affected area
was poisoned. Fortunately, an expert arrived just in time. He purified the air. The remaining people
were able to survive. Poison Sage did this. He sought revenge against Lord Zhao, and wanted to wipe out
the entire Mangu City. Poison Sage? I can't believe it was him. Who exactly is he? He is a master of the poison arts. He cultivates poison arts, and once wiped out cities
wit
h strange poisons. Countless people have died at his hands. No one could defeat him. Unexpectedly, he came to Mangu City. Poison Sage. Great Elder. The casualties have been counted. How was it? My father, my mother, and Xue. Are they all okay? Young Master Yang. The chief is unharmed. Madam and Xue are okay as well. It's just that... What is it? The casualties among the other families
in the residence are more than half. The Yang Qingshan line, especially, has no survivors. Grandpa. Father, Moth
er, how could you leave me? My son, please wake up. Father. I can't live without you, my child. Poison Sage. I swear, even if I have to chase you
to the ends of the earth, I will cut you into a thousand pieces. [Episode 33] How's the situation outside? It's not optimistic. Except for those not in the city, almost everyone is dead. Maybe the losses inside the city
are even more severe. Oh, no. Wang Chi. Chen. [Alchemy Room] [Alchemy Room] Young Master Chen. What exactly happened? The Wang family.
My parents. My condolences. Young Master Chen. Thank you for coming to rescue me. From now on, I, Wang Chi,
will wholeheartedly follow you. Please rise. Let's forget the past. From now on, we are friends. (Mangu City) (has come to its end.) Let's leave this place. The poison gas has seeped
into the underground. It's no longer suitable for living. Where can we go? It doesn't matter where we go, as long as we're together, we can still start anew. That sounds good. The nearest place is Qianyun Tow
n. It has a pleasant environment and is suitable for settling down. The only problem
is the Qian family over there. They collude with bandits and exploit the townspeople. Their behavior is despicable. As we're settling down there, we can punish the Qian family
and give people justice. What do you think? Gang. Do you have everything packed? Everything is here. Then let's set off. Yes. Let's go. [Yang Residence] Whoa. We're here. Giddy-up. Who are these people? Stop right there. Whoa. Who are you
people? What business do you have
in Qianyun Town? Is there going to be a fight? The guys from the Qian family are here. These outsiders
are probably going to suffer. It can't be helped. The Qian family acts
as the overlords here. Hush. Don't talk your way into trouble. The Qian family has ties with bandits. Giddy-up. It doesn't matter who we are. From now on, we'll be settling down here. You may settle down here, if you wish. Since there are so many of you, you'll need to pay 10,000 gold coins.
The annual tribute
will also be 10,000 gold coins. Which law dictates that? The Qian family owns Qianyun Town. Our word is the law. On what grounds? Our strength, of course. Go ask around. See if anyone dares to defy us. As cultivators, not only are you not upholding justice, but you're even bullying
the common folks and acting like tyrants. What gives you the audacity? You asked for it! Why are you people just standing there? Hurry up and save me. Take me to Qian Residence. Today, I shall meet
the so-called owner
of Qianyun Town. Yes, of course. I'll lead the way. - Good job!
- He deserved it! I didn't expect a young man like him
to be this powerful. Let's follow them. Good. He's such a good person. [Qian Residence] Who are you to be insolent at my place? He's the patriarch of the Qian family. I'm Yang Chen. I'd like to take you to see someone. Who? The local authorities. [Qian Buguang]
The local authorities? [Qian Buguang]
You must be fed up with life, showing up here and causing tr
ouble. Guys. Give them a thorough beating. How dare you. Send the sinful ones
in the Qian family to the authorities. As for the kidnapped ones,
give them some money and send them home. Yes, Young Master. Everyone. Now that the Qian family is gone, their residence is yours. We, the Yang family, would like
to buy it at market price. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding. Well done! This is great. - You're our hero!
- Thank you! - Fantastic!
- This is great! Fantastic! [Epis
ode 34] This is satisfying! It's great! Yeah. Qian Buguang has finally met his end. [Qian Residence]
Qian Buguang has finally met his end. [Qian Residence]
From now on, we, the Yang family,
will stay in Qianyun Town. You can rest assured. - We won't make you pay tribute.
- Good. In fact, we plan
to establish a school and a clinic in town. I hope we can get along well. Wonderful. We can build this town together. - Fabulous.
- That's great! You're kind-hearted! You're a great man! Also, I hope to
change the name of the town. From now on, let's call it Xinsheng Town, okay? - It symbolizes a fresh start.
- Great. From now on,
we'll call it Xinsheng Town. Sounds good! - Xinsheng Town!
-Xinsheng Town! That's great! Thank you. Young Master. Shall I take care of them? No need. I want to stretch my muscles a bit. A bunch of fools
who don't know their place. Now, you'll have a hard time. It seems that the Qian family
is really in cahoots with bandits. Only two of Soul Cultivating Phase. Those ba
ndits are weak. [City Lord Residence] You guys are so slow. I've been waiting here for a long time. Master. He's the one who caught Mr. Qian. Really? Since you're able
to get rid of Qian Buguang, it looks like you... You talked too much. Run! Cheng Gang. Tie them up and send them
to the authorities. I'll go check out their hideout. Yes. [City Lord Residence] Giddy-up. Giddy-up. Giddy-up. It's surprising
that these bandits are quite rich. [Serpentine Eight Steps] Serpentine Eight Steps. How lucky
of me. This martial arts manual is perfect
for Snake Tao Soul cultivation. Seven-Star Herb? It's surprisingly easy to obtain. There's hope to save Zhao Yuxin. This place's defenses
make it a bandit magnet. I must destroy it
to prevent future troubles. Luckily, we have
the Spirit Potions Cauldron. Weird. Lord Zhao said she's unintelligent, but she is at the ninth level
of the Blood Coagulating Phase so young and has a high-quality
Xuan Class Mystic Tao Soul. It's truly incredible. She's been poi
soned for too long. Taking a refined pill directly
may not work for her. I need to prepare a medicinal bath to slowly remove the toxins
from her body. Oh, I forgot. She's a girl. Right. Xue can help. Young Master. What is it? I'll explain later. Remove her clothes
and put her in the cauldron. Young Master, it's done. Give me her hand. Is it because
she possesses the Mystic Tao Soul? Don't move. It's critical now. If we fail, she won't survive. It's done. [Episode 35] Thank goodness. I'm lucky to
have Xue's help. Good lord, what do you want? Wash. She thinks I'm her handmaiden. Just once, okay? In the future,
you have to do it yourself. Hmm. Alright. Good. Why does she speak word by word? She's completely fine, so what's going on? It's unsolvable. Chen, you're finally awake. Oh, who is this young lady? Mother, she is the granddaughter
of Lord Zhao. Zhao Yuxin. It's okay. I'm treating her. Treating illness and saving lives
is a good deed. But there are boundaries
between men and women. Y
ou must be mindful of that. I know, Mother. Miss Zhao here believes
I'm her handmaiden. I even had to
wash her face this morning. Well done. Our Chen can even attend to others now. You won't have to worry
about finding a wife in the future. Mother, don't bother yourself
with my marriage, alright? Hurry and have someone
prepare some food. I'm starving. Alright, I'll go prepare some food
for you and Miss Zhao. This is wonderful. Young Master,
if you hadn't woken up today, I'd have to ask Master
an
d the others for help. Xue, I really appreciate
what you did yesterday. By the way, this is Zhao Yuxin, the young lady of the Zhao Residence. She's still in the recovery period, and needs assistance a lot
in her daily life. So, I'll trouble you with that. I understand. Should we inform Master
about Miss Zhao's situation? I'll tell him later. Finally, I have some time to practice. Looks like it's pretty easy to master. You're getting complacent
with just a little progress. Although you have many
Tao Souls, you haven't mastered
any of them proficiently. You are right, Master. I was wrong. Honestly, Master, I also want
to further develope my Tao Souls, but I don't have a direction. I feel a bit overwhelmed. Tao Souls contain
powerful secret techniques. Ordinary geniuses
can comprehend one Tao Soul. Only true geniuses can... I got it! To think, in the end,
it was the heaven that had helped me. Grandpa. Do you think it is a surprise? What? You said you discovered
a black iron mine? Yes. I s
tumbled upon it
while practicing in the mountains. If it's true, then there is hope
for our family to rise again. Let's go and take a look. This is it, Grandpa. Alright, let me take a look. So this is Heaven Penetrating Space. This is it! [Episode 36] There is indeed a black iron mine here. This is an opportunity
for our Yang family. This is top-quality black iron. We can definitely sell it
for a good price. Then I'll immediately arrange
for people to start mining. Let's not rush to sell it. Qin
gfeng,
take care of this place for now. We'll go back to organize the manpower. Xin, you can rest assured. Can I keep this black iron? I was just thinking about using
Armor Tao Soul to refine armor, but I forgot
that I can't refine ores myself. I have an idea. Middle-level Huang Class. I should be able to sell it
for 200 thousand gold coins. Another one. It seems I'm too weak. If these black irons
were refined by a blacksmith, they would be
at least of Xuan Class quality. Okay, Young Master Chen
. 100 thousand catties is indeed
the limit of the Body Training Phase. To increase my strength further,
I need to break through in cultivation. Chen, I have some great news. I have some fantastic news. Father, what's the good news? I just went
to the nearby South Hill City. I heard some news there. Tianyang Academy is
about to publicly recruit disciples. As long as your cultivation
has reached the Blood Coagulating Phase and you're under 18,
you can participate in the assessment. This is a rare
opportunity. Tianyang Academy only recruits disciples
once every ten years. One needs to reach
the Blood Coagulating Phase, right? Not necessarily. If you're a rare genius
at the Body Training Phase, you also have a chance. When is the official assessment? In three months. You can go register
in South Hill City now. By then, you can go to Tianyang Academy
with the people from South Hill City. (Since I've hit a bottleneck
in my cultivation,) (going out) (might help me make a breakthrough.) By the
way, your grandpa and I think that Xue and Zhao Yuxin
should also give it a try. Let them go with you. Grandpa, Third Granduncle. Father, Mother. You don't have to worry. Just wait for my good news at home. Be careful. Don't overexert yourself. Also, take good care of Yuxin and Xue. Alright. We'll be off now. We'll definitely come back
when we have the time. Giddy-up. Giddy-up. Wow, there are so many people. There's no other choice.
This is the only registration point. There are so many people.
It seems you're recovering well. At least now you're
not spouting words one by one. Yuxin is back
to being a normal person now. You should mind your words. I must enter Tianyang Academy. When I join the military in the future, I'll become someone like Jun Wuhou. Are you really comparing yourself
to Jun Wuhou? You should look in the mirror. Exactly. Jun Wuhou is a legend. No one can compare to him. Who is Jun Wuhou? You don't know who Jun Wuhou is? He's the second genius
in the history of Tianya
ng Academy to reach the Heaven Penetrating Phase
at the age of 20. After leaving Tianyang Academy, he joined the military. He quickly became a general
with his strength. He even formed his own army, named the War Wolves. Last year, he also captured a small nation that attempted to break away
from the Great Xia Kingdom. That's right. In terms of achievements, Jun Wuhou
can rival the legendary prodigy from 100 years ago, Gu Ao'tian. Gu Ao'tian is the strongest
in the history of Tianyang Academy. I
t's said that when he was 30, he had a battle
with the leader of Tianyang Academy. After that, he disappeared. Will I have a chance
to catch up with them? - Here.
- Thank you. [Numbers] Next. Next. Young Master, don't worry. If you don't get selected, Yuxin and I won't go either. You both are already
in the Blood Coagulating Phase, so your chances of getting in are high. As for me, you don't need to worry. Those with number tags, please gather over here. Someone will arrange for you to stay. Oka
y. Guardians can go back now. Alright. Gang, you should head back now. Alright, Young Master. I've left everything for you here. When you arrive at Tianyang Academy,
remember to write to us. Giddy-up. [Episode 37] Young Master. How's it going?
You getting used to this place? Young Master,
it's been three days already. Why haven't we set off yet? It's almost time.
The screening is coming to the end. Screening? We've had people closely monitoring us
these past few days. Those who didn't meet the c
riteria
have been sent away for various reasons. Haven't you noticed fewer people
are there now than the time we arrived? Alright, everyone, take it easy. With our qualifications,
we'll breeze through this assessment. Looks like they've eliminated
quite a few people. Is everyone here now? Let's get moving. Is this the road to heaven? Follow me. This is quite spectacular. I've never seen anything like this. - Be careful. Gimme a hand
- It's hanging in the air. Look over there. This is so impressi
ve. Such a vast royal city. It has to be a hundred times bigger
than the Mangu Cities. Stop being stunned.
We're still outside the city. The inside is even grander. What's inside? The royal city
is split into three parts. The outer city is resided
by rich Tao Soul cultivators. The inner city is lived
by the officials and rich folks. As for the imperial city,
it's where royals and nobles reside. Move out of the way! Who are these people? They are from Fire Lion Legion. One of the top ten legions
in the Great Xia Kingdom. Fire Lion Legion? Are they formidable? Absolutely. The Fire Lion Legion
has a history of a century. It's run by the Lion King Residence. Only the elites can join. With over ten thousand members, the Fire Lion Legion
can rival a million-strong army. How does that
compare to the Starving Wolf Legion? You mean the War Wolves Legion. Jun Wuhou's War Wolves Legion
is relatively young. There's no comparison. (All these soldiers
are at the Soul Cultivating Phase.) (Each of the
m
carries an aura of bloodshed.) (They must have
been veterans in combats.) (Even the army here is this strong.) (Seems like I'll run into many geniuses
who can be my match.) This is Tianyang Academy. This is where you'll undergo
the assessment. Pass the assessment, next! Great! That must be something
to test our innate aptitude. It's used by Mystic Marks Master. Unqualified, next! It seems that only
by manifesting Mystic Marks and obtaining Mystic Marks can one pass the assessment. Impossible!
How could I possibly fail? There must be something wrong
with this darn stone. Who dares to say there's an issue
with the Mystic Marks I carved? [Elder Yu Tian] Greetings, Elder Yu Tian. How dare you say there's an issue
with the Mystic Marks I carved? I'm going to let you see
if there's any issue. - You, go over there.
- Yes. How about now? Still thinking there's something wrong
with this stone? Elder Yu Tian. Why even bother arguing
with this inexperienced fellow? What are you two waiting for?
Hurry up and get this troublemaker
out of here. Move! How dare you question Elder Yu Tian? Next, hurry up! My Mystic Marks Palace
hasn't taken in disciples for ages. It's time to get some with potential. Why's everyone just standing there?
Hurry up! Alright, it's time for the participants
from South Hill City. - I didn't pass either.
- Oh well, it's fine. It's quite tough. Passed. Mystic Tao Soul. [Episode 38] Finally, a promising candidate
has emerged. I'll take this young girl
as my disciple.
Young lady, would you like
to be my disciple? Mm. Sure, but I want to take the test
for the Tianyang Academy first. Hey, um, becoming his disciple
means you've passed the exam. Then, I'm willing to be your disciple. You have a strong personality,
just like me. Alright. Kid, let's return
to the Mystic Marks Palace. Okay. I envy this junior sister so much. I can't believe she's been accepted
by Elder Yu Tian. Among the three elders
of the Mystic Marks Palace, Elder Yu Tian is the only one
who had
no disciple. It's rare that he actively
selected a disciple this time. That's understandable. Elder Lin Yuan and Elder Han Wu
have taken in several disciples and kept teasing him. Of course, Elder Yu Tian
couldn't bear it any longer. There were talented disciples
approach him before, but all of them were rejected. I wonder why he chose
this junior sister. Senior brothers. May I proceed with the test? Oh, there's still one more person left. Go ahead. Once the test is over,
our mission will be co
mpleted. Not bad. With these individuals, we can all rest easy now. It's quite tiring to fly back
to Tianyang Academy with so many people. Gong Ming, release your War Eagle. Go. Sir. We've brought the candidates
from South Hill City and three other cities. [Deacon Verdant]
Well done. [Deacon Verdant]
You can all go and do mission report. [Deacon Verdant]
We will handle them. Then I'll leave them to you,
Deacon Verdant. It seems having a higher rank
definitely makes a difference. Tianyang Academy
is hierarchical.
From top to bottom, it comprises Academy Scholars, Deputy Heads, Elders, followed by Deacons and Mentors. Deacons manage daily affairs, while Mentors guide disciples
in their cultivation. Do disciples have ranks too? Of course! Tianyang Academy's disciples
are divided into Outer Disciples, Inner Disciples, and Core Disciples. Core Disciples are all candidates
for future Academy Scholars. Follow me. Deacon Obsidian. The candidates have been gathered here. I'll leave it to you no
w. I'll take my leave. [Deacon Obsidian] Who is this? That's the Deacon Obsidian. His status is above the Deacon Alabaster
and Deacon Verdant. The Academy Scholars
are occupied with their cultivation, so the Deacon Obsidian
is the controller of various affairs. Passing the preliminary selection
indicates your commendable talents. Behind me is the Puppet Cave. If you can make it through, you'll pass and become the Outer Disciples
of Tianyang Academy. The Mystic Marks on your hands have already re
corded
your actual cultivation level. Once inside the Puppet Cave, those puppets can be activated. If you can't defeat them, just shout "give up". The Mystic Marks will teleport you out. Opting for this forfeits your chance
to be Tianyang Academy's disciples. Alright, I've explained everything. Who's going first? Deacon Obsidian, I'll go first. Brave one. Go ahead. Be careful, Young Master. Easy peasy. I'm done playing with you all. Young man, you're quite impressive. Such speed reminds me
of my
younger days. Why not let him be my disciple? The skill I've crafted
during my days of focused meditation is best suited for the new disciples. Please allow me to mentor him
and pass down the skill. Step aside. You're always the first
to claim promising candidates. It's my turn now. Let me take him. Young man. I'm more powerful than them. I'm the Second-Rank Mentor, while they are Third-Rank Mentors. Nonsense! Have any disciples
you've taught surpassed mine? Young man, join me. I've guided a di
sciple
to become a Core Disciple. They are far behind me. Bah! You're one to talk. Did you guide Wu Chuan? He succeeded through his own efforts. (This young man) (is mine.) [Episode 39] What? Do you have any objections? Oh. No. We don't. How dare we take the one you want,
Ms. Shangguan? Right? (She wouldn't be seeking
personal revenge, right?) Esteemed mentors. I'm actually with Twin Tao Soul. One is Medic Tao Soul. I want to study medicine and alchemy. Medic Tao Soul. That's rare. Join the Medi
cine Palace then. I've said it. He'll be with me from now on. (Wait. What's going on?) (Why are all these mentors
afraid of this woman?) Get over here. The Sorcery Palace
will take this little girl. If any of you have objections, feel free to talk to our elder. (Xue and Yuxin
became the academy elder's disciples.) (They'll definitely
receive great mentoring.) Come with me. I just don't understand. Why doesn't she stay as a core disciple, but decided to become a mentor? I heard it's Sheng Jianjun
who caused a fight
among the core disciples. Sigh. Who would know? Hush. Quiet. If Ms. Shangguan knows
that we're talking behind her back, we're screwed. Kneel. Why should I kneel? For the apprentice ceremony, of course. After the ceremony, you must listen to me as my disciple. Understand? Are you joking? Since when did I agree
to be your disciple? You're not going to acknowledge me
as your mentor? I could kill you right now. Humph. I shouldn't have saved you. I should just let that man kill yo
u. Do whatever you want. I... Still, I have to punish you by myself. I'm telling you. If you don't listen to me, you'll have to suffer the consequences. Listen here. Don't let me get the chance. Otherwise, I'll make you regret this. Oh? How are you going to do that? You used poison on me? You made me do this. I warned you. Don't get happy too soon. I forgot to tell you that I'm also with Twin Tao Soul, including a Medicine Cauldron Tao Soul. I've long detected a smell on you only left behind thr
ough years of using medicinal herbs. So, I also used a little trick. The poison will work faster
when you use your powers. What should I do with you now, eh? (This kid) (thinks he's all that.) (This poison won't defeat me,) (but I'm curious) (what he wants to do.) What do you want? If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. A beautiful woman like you would be a waste to just kill directly. (Finally showing your true colors.) (Just wait and see.) Yang Chen. I never thought you'd be like this. I
was just joking. I didn't think you'd be so ruthless. The poison's detoxified? I forgot to tell you. This poison is easy to detoxify. You just need to stop using your powers and dunk yourself in cold water. Why did you help me detoxify the poison? Like you. I was only joking. I know you don't want to see me. Don't worry. I'll leave right away. Far far away. Did I say you can leave? Since you've accepted me as your mentor, you have to listen to me. I didn't let you leave. You can't go anywhere. Y
ou're not letting me leave, huh? Fine. I'll stay here then. Your clothes are wet. Yang Chen. I'll gouge your eyes out. I don't think you'll do it. After all, I am your disciple. You admit that you're my disciple now? Hurry up and call me master then. Fine. I'm in too deep now anyway. Master Beauty. Happy? That's more like it. You are quite sensible. Let's forget about what happened before. No problems. But, Master Beauty, please answer a question for me first. [Episode 40] Speak up. What is your
cultivation level? What's your alchemy technique level? Why? Do you worry
I'm not qualified to teach you? Let me tell you. I am at the ninth level
of the Heaven Penetrating Phase. Level 3 alchemy technique. What do you think? Impressive. By the way. Where will I stay in the future? It seems there's only one room here. Don't tell me we're going
to live together. That would be quite awkward. Get out of here. Right now! Say one more word, I'll cut off your tongue. Well, then I'll leave. Why are yo
u so fierce? Also, you have to
provide accommodation for me. I'll give you two options. Either build your own house, or sleep in the living room. Or else, find a place
to stay wherever you like. Master Beauty is really kind. I think I like it here the most. I didn't expect you to give me the room. Get out of here! Master Beauty. What should we have for dinner? I haven't eaten anything all day. These are Fasting Pills. A pill can keep you from hungry
for seven days. There are thirty pills inside.
Fasting Pills. Good stuff. But these pills will be eaten up soon. Could you give me a bit more? Here's the pill recipe. Take it and research on your own. Refine it yourself
when they are finished. Don't come bothering me. Master Beauty. I'm curious. Why did you choose to be a mentor? It's none of your concern. Just focus on your cultivation and don't embarrass me. Understood. How about
imparting some secret techniques of Di and Tian Class to me? I'm not picky. Di and Tian Class secret technique
s? Do you think those secret techniques
can be easily imparted? No, I don't. Well, just teach me something
as you like. I'll take you
to the Hall of Books tomorrow. You can pick for yourself then. You can go out now. Okay. Let's wait for tomorrow. It's still early now. Maybe we can chat more to enhance our relationship. Get out right now! What an odious guy. Master Beauty. Have you slept yet? Are you done yet? If you don't want to sleep,
then practice. Don't bother me. Why did you come in? Why d
id you slap me? I just wanted to ask you for a blanket. It's too cold in the mountain. Besides, the floor is too hard. How can you act like this as a Master? Get out quickly. No entry without my permission
in the future. If I had known she was waiting
on the other side of the Puppet Cave, I absolutely wouldn't
have passed through. In a few days, you'll break through the limits
of the Body Training Phase. - Master
- Mm. What are the benefits
of breaking the limits? Once the limits are broken, a d
oor within your body can be opened. It's somewhere
between reality and illusion that called the Heavenly Door. The human body has six Heavenly Doors, each containing unimaginable power. When all six Heavenly Doors are opened, it will... What will happen? Master. Isn't it more meaningful
to personally verify certain things rather than relying on what others say? Oh no. Why am I having a nosebleed? Stay calm. Stay calm. See no evil. Not bad. You're already practicing early
in the morning. You're q
uite diligent. Did you sleep well last night? Yes, I did. What happened to your nose? It's due to the heatiness. A minor issue. If she discovered me peeping at her
while she get changed, I'd probably be in big trouble. Let's go!
Follow me to the Hall of Books. Senior brother, wait for me. Hurry up. The pills have just been refined
by the Master. We won't receive any if we're late. I wonder what my future life is like after entering the Academy
and having the Master. In any case, I must make my n
ame
resound throughout Tianyang Academy.
