Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 764: Soul Pond

Lin Moxian was shocked when he arrived at the back building because Zhang Xiaolong [3] was in his half-fox form, and he was dual soul cultivating with Hong Xinxin, Murong Qianying, Shang Xiyun, and Shang Yifen.

’Why did master take a ten-year-old demihuman kid as his disciple? He was indeed a genius, and he had already reached the Earth Realm, even though he was only ten years old.’ Lin Moxian then looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s soul before being shocked by dozens of white lotuses with five petals beneath each of them. ’What kind of soul cultivation technique did he learn? How did he create those dozens of lotuses in his soul? As far as I remember, the master didn’t have such a technique, or else he would have taught it to me and the others.’

Mei had already warned Zhang Xiaolong [3] about Lin Moxian’s arrival, but he didn’t have time to draw his Yang Qi back from the souls of the four women, especially since his speed was speedy, even though it was still not comparable to his.

’Master once told me that Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying have no talent in the soul cultivation path, yet they are both soul cultivators now. No wonder my master accepted this kid as his disciple, especially since his talent on the cultivation path was amazing, and he could help them become soul cultivators.’ Lin Moxian did not disturb them, and he sat a distance away from them while watching their activities. ’This kid is still young, but his control over his Yang Qi is already like an expert’s, and he is flowing it into their souls evenly. Even I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing, especially since it is too risky. If he loses control, then their soul will suffer serious injury. Furthermore, his soul level is still at the early stage of the earthly soul level, but he dares to accommodate the Yin Qi from four women at the same time.’

After some time, Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the four women began to withdraw their Yang and Yin Qi back before returning their souls into their bodies. As soon as they opened their eyes, Murong Qianying immediately questioned Lin Moxian. "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"Did Xin Hongyan ask you to come here?" Hong Xinxin also asked him.

"You’re right, Xinxin. Xi Hongyan contacted me a month ago, and she asked me to help her do something." Lin Moxian’s answer made Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying frown. "Actually, I didn’t have any plans to come here before, and I planned to look for Qiao Liangren in the Qiao clan. However, she told me that he left with our master to the Blossom Heaven Realm, and she also told me about the relationship between you two and my junior brother, so I came here to ask you two about him. Unexpectedly, he was here, so I was lucky to come here."

"Long’er, he is Senior Hun Di’s first disciple, Lin Moxian, so he is your senior brother." Murong Qianying said.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised to hear that, especially since he didn’t know about his master’s other disciples besides Qiao Liangren and Shang Yingyue. He immediately stood up and introduced himself. "Please to meet you, Senior Brother Moxian. My name is Zhang Xiaolong, and everyone calls me Long’er."

"Haha." Lin Moxian laughed. "Junior Brother, I have to admit that you are a genius among geniuses, and you are indeed worthy of being our master’s disciple."

"Your praise is too much, Senior Brother. I am still young now, and there are many cultivators who are more genius than me out there." Zhang Xiaolong [3] politely replied.

Hong Xinxin then asked Lin Moxian. "What does Xi Hongyan want from you?"

"Shang Xishun." All of them looked at Lin Moxian in confusion. "Xi Qiuwei managed to capture her in the Wasteland Realm a month ago, and Xi Hongyan needs my help to control her in order to destroy the Shang Clan from within. However, I have not agreed to her request, and I gave her one condition if she wants me to help her."

"Haha." Hong Xinxin laughed as she realized the conditions. "Why are you so crazy about Xi Hongyan? She is indeed one of the best women in this realm, but she doesn’t like men, and she prefers women. Moreover, you can get any woman you want with your status as Senior Hun Di’s disciple and Senior Lin Jingxia’s nephew."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] was surprised to hear the latter name. ’I didn’t expect that he was also the nephew of the alchemist goddess.’

"Even with my two statuses, I still can’t get you as my wife, right?" Lin Moxian replied with a frivolous smile, causing Hong Xinxin to shake her head. "Haha! I was just joking, so there’s no need to be serious, but I didn’t expect your habit of falling in love with young leaves still hasn’t changed. Back then, you were infatuated with Shang Guangming, and you always followed him wherever he went. But now, you choose my junior brother, who is much younger than him, as your future husband."

"Love knows no age." Hong Xinxin nonchalantly replied. "Long’er is still young now, but he will mature in a few years, and I will marry him when his cultivation reaches the Seven Divine Realm. Will you really help Xi Hongyan if she agrees to the conditions you give her?"

"What do you two think about that? Should I help Xi Hongyan?" Lin Moxian asked them instead.

"I think you shouldn’t do that." Lin Moxian looked at Murong Qianying. "Your master has always been neutral in matters of other clans, and he wouldn’t like it if you helped Xi Hongyan. Furthermore, do you really want to get her using such a method? Aren’t you ashamed as a man to use such a method to get a woman?"

"If you find it difficult to get Xi Hongyan using normal means, you can learn from Long’er how to conquer a woman’s feelings." Hong Xinxin then pointed to Shang Yifen and Shang Xinyu. "They are also his future wives, and he still has several other women by his side, such as Shang Yumei and Shang Yaolin."

"Eh?" Ling Moxian immediately looked at Zhang Xiaolong [3], who was scratching his head awkwardly, especially since he was disguised as a child. "Are your two daughters really my junior brother’s future wives, Qianying?"

Murong Qianying confirmed it with a nod. "Yumei and Yaolin have fallen in love with him, so I allowed them to be with him."

Lin Moxian immediately moved to Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s side and grabbed his shoulder. "Hey, Junior Brother, how did you manage to conquer their hearts? Did you use some special technique?"

’This guy has no shame!’ The four women exclaimed, their hearts filled with laughter.

"Senior Brother, winning a woman’s heart is both easy and hard, and there is no special technique for it." Lin Moxian raised his eyebrows at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Generally, many women like men who are patient and affectionate, but in other cases, some women like men who are aggressive. Both of those cases do not apply to a woman like Xi Hongyan because she doesn’t like men, and she will never like you if you force her, so you need to put in extra effort to get her. If you want to get her, you can play tug-of-war with her, and her feelings might melt one day."

"What do you mean by tug-of-war?" Lin Moxian asked in confusion.

’He’s very old, but he’s like an inexperienced virgin.’ Zhang Xiaolong [3] then explained. "You can try to be aggressive towards her at one time, and you can act indifferent towards her at the other time."

"Are you sure it will work?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head. "I don’t know Xi Hongyan’s character yet because I’ve never met her, so I can’t say whether it will work or not, and you should try it on her first to find out the results."

"How about you come with me to meet Xi Hongyan?"

"No!" Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying shouted at Lin Moxian.

Murong Qianying then spoke. "Moxian, I know you can protect Long’er with both of your statuses, and Xi Hongyan won’t dare to do anything to him if she knows that he is your junior brother. However, there are many cultivators who dare to go against your master and aunt, and they will hunt him down if they find out his talent. If that happens, no one can protect him, and he will die in their hands."

"Long’er has already told you how to conquer Xi Hongyan, so you should try it first. If it still doesn’t work, you can discuss it with him again, but you must never bring him to see her." Lin Moxian looked hesitant after listening to Hong Xinxin. "Furthermore, he has his own charm, and she might fall in love with him if you bring him to see her."

Lin Moxian was momentarily stunned, but he then remembered that Zhang Xiaolong [3] already had several women by his side, which made him worry that Xi Hongyan would fall in love with him instead. "All right, I won’t take him to meet her, and I will try to use his ideas first. As for her request, I think I will refuse her, and she won’t be able to do anything to force me."

"That’s the best choice!" Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying said it in unison. "If the Shang Clan is destroyed, Xi Hongyan and her Xi clan will have no more opponents in this realm, and she might target us next."

Lin Moxian nodded in agreement and changed the topic of their conversation. "Junior brother, can you tell me about those white lotuses inside your soul? How did you create them inside it?"

"I learned that technique from my mother, but not everyone can master it." Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s answer actually made Lin Moxian even more curious about it. "In fact, those white lotuses symbolize the number of women who sincerely love me, especially since to create one requires the unification of three things: mind, heart, and soul. If a pair of lovers cannot unite these three, then it cannot form, and they will suffer backlash instead."

Lin Moxian’s jaw dropped after hearing that, especially since there were dozens of white lotuses inside Zhang Xiaolong [3]’s soul, which meant he had dozens of women by his side. "Oh god! I feel pathetic! I’ve lived for thousands of years, but I’ve never had a lover! But you, my junior brother who is only 10 years old, have dozens of women by your side! If my other junior brothers and junior sisters knew about this, they would laugh and mock me endlessly!"

"Pftt!" Hong Xinxin and the three women burst into laughter listening to Lin Moxian.

’This guy is quite funny.’ Zhang Xiaolong [3] inwardly said with an amused smile. "Senior brother, I don’t know all the senior brothers and senior sisters, but I remember that Senior Brother Liangren doesn’t have a girlfriend either."

*Clasped*

Lin Moxian clasped his hands. "Oh! You’re right, Junior Brother! Qiao Liangren is a virgin like me, so I don’t have to worry about them making fun of me! But how can you get so many women at your current age? Can you make them all happy?"

"I’m just being myself, and I don’t need to do anything strange." Lin Moxian’s lips twitched at that. "Senior Brother, if they weren’t happy with me, I wouldn’t be able to create so many white lotuses in my soul."

"That’s right." Lin Moxian then put his arm around Zhang Xiaolong [3] and led him out. "This is our first meeting, and we are brothers under one master, so I want to get to know you better. Additionally, I want you to teach me more about women so I can win Xi Hongyan’s heart."

Zhang Xiaolong [3] sighed helplessly in his heart as he walked beside Lin Moxian. "The most important thing is that you have to believe in yourself, and you also have to learn to understand the woman you are targeting."

"Let’s talk somewhere else so these women can’t eavesdrop on us." Lin Moxian immediately took Zhang Xiaolong [3] away from the Hong Clan.

After their departure, Shang Xinyu proceeded to question Hong Xinxin and Murong Qianying. "Is that senior’s character really like that, Aunts?"

"Yes." Murong Qianying replied with a nod. "Lin Moxian’s character is a bit strange, and he often acts childishly. Even though he is like that, he is a very loyal person, and he is a cultivator with outstanding talent, or else Hun Di would not have accepted him as his first disciple. Furthermore, he is the nephew of the alchemist goddess, and Long’er herself is an alchemist, so he is lucky to be able to meet him so soon."

Hong Xinxin then asked her. "How about we ask Lin Moxian to introduce Long’er to Lin Jingxia, Sister Qianying? I’m sure she will be amazed by his talent in alchemy, and she might be willing to accept him as her disciple."

"I think you can talk to Lin Moxian once they come back, and I will return to my clan now." After that, Murong Qianying walked out before leaving the Hong clan.

Hong Xinxin and the other two women also left the room, and they took care of their own affairs.

Zhang Fei [5] opened his eyes as soon as the three notifications appeared, and Feltia [2] returned to the training space before returning to the Nine Stars Realm. Zhang Fei [4] stayed in the realm to protect the female demons, who were still cultivating while absorbing demon power.

Zhang Fei [5] immediately flew high into the sky and watched the entire realm area from the system’s map, but what he saw were hundreds of thousands of red dots there. ’Were you able to track the whereabouts of the wandering soul demon, Mei? Where are the soul pond and the soul fire located?’

[Master, I can’t find the demon anywhere, and it might be hiding somewhere in this realm. The Soul Pond is located in the southernmost part of this realm, as Morgana told you a long time ago. However, too many powerful demons are gathering there now; two of them are demon emperor and empress, and their cultivation is also at the 5-Moon Divine Transformation Realm, so you should think carefully before going there. As for the soul fire, I can’t detect it either, but I think it’s in the center of this realm, especially since there are two other demon emperors gathered there, and their cultivation is on par with the previous two.]

Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding and asked the demon extermination sword to return. He rubbed the sword and spoke. "Hei’an and Guang’an, there are many demons in the southernmost area, but two of them are too powerful."

*Zing... Zing...*

Instead of being afraid, the demon extermination sword was vibrating in excitement, and it clearly couldn’t wait to kill the demons.

"You guys are impatient to kill them, huh? I’ll take you there, but we can’t move carelessly, and I’ll monitor the situation there first." The demon extermination sword responded to Zhang Fei [5] with a light vibration before entering his body and becoming a tattoo again. He then entered the invisible state before using the Nine Cloud Steps to go to the location of the Soul Pond.

In a few minutes, Zhang Fei [5] had arrived at a location not far from the Soul Pond, but he did not immediately approach the pond and watched the demons from a distance. He saw a male demon and a female demon soaking in the pond, and both of them were absorbing the wandering souls that were swirling above it.
