บท 72: Chapter 72
She ended the lesson at that point and allowed him to return to his cave. She also informed him that his training regime would again change tomorrow. When he left, She kept that smile on his face. She was shocked by his progress on the formation path. It had only taken two months for him to learn how to engrave all the foundational formations to perfection. She knew that this wasn't because of talent as the consumption for creating foundation level formation was close to nothing bor Jiang Mang. She knew that he had reached this point through sheer hard work.
She was also pleased with his achievements on the path of charm. His charm foundation was also perfect after having perfected his charm techniques. Those two girls, that accompanied Jiang Mang had also amazed her as they too had perfected their charm foundation while having learned two thousand foundational formations to perfection. She knew that these things weren't exceptional as everyone could do this through hard work. The point was that they had worked hard, which meant that they had a firm heart and could achieve many things as long as they didn't give up. Not many people were willing to work so hard when they knew that they weren't special.
Her husband was also pleased with their disciple as he had mastered the zither basics after two months. Jiu Chen and she had decided to reward Jiang Mang for his hard work the next day. They would give him an appropriate artifact, that he would be able to use until the sage realm.
Jiang Mang, who was oblivious about his masters' thoughts and plans, had arrived at the cave. The cave was empty because the two girls would go and retrieve that body tempering technique and its required herbs that day as they had saved enough merits. He had also instructed Xiao Liu to follow and protect the two girls who were still early-stage saints, who only knew one attack technique.
He decided to meditate this day to relax for a day. When he started his meditation, he started recollecting all that happened these three months and managed to comprehend the charm intent to perfection. He felt like he was the charm intent, and it was him. This was because of his training and type of comprehension. He comprehended that charm should be a part of a charm cultivator and not a tool, which resulting in his charm intent fusing with his heart and soul.
He immediately felt that his previously perfected charm techniques had become a part of him and that his demeanor and aura finally reached perfection. It was no longer an act to charm others, but he had become that cute, lively prince who was an incubus in the making.
He felt that while his heart had stayed the same, it had something added to it, a playfulness to control and play with others had manifested in his heart. He accepted this change as he knew that only at this moment, he had started treading the dao of charm.
Four hours had passed since his cultivation session started, but no one had returned to the cave at the moment. He decided to check his surroundings with his inner view after he started playing, he witnessed two wounded girls being carried by a six tailed fox towards the cave. When Xiao Liu arrived at the cave, he saw Jiang Mang sitting crosslegged with a calm expression but extremely cold eyes asking him what happened.
Xiao Liu knew that Jiang Mang never showed his killing intent, and instead became incredibly calm. The current him was akin to a bomb that could explode at any moment.
The fox, first, laid the two girls in their rooms before explaining what had happened to Jiang Mang. While they were returning after having collected the technique and herbs, they had encountered a group of inner disciples. This group was led around by a young man at the high saint stage. He noticed the two girls because they resembled two succubi when they walked home. He also noticed their low cultivation realm and invited them to join his group. He had also informed them about his identity of being the son of elder Wang and being the brother of the number one inner palace disciple Wang Luofeng. The two girls politely declined, but the young man was insulted and ordered his friends to attack the two girls. Xiao Liu tried to protect them on time, but due to the sudden attacks, they were hit by one attack and knocked unconscious. Xiao Liu immediately escaped with the two girls on his back. The deacons responsible for discipline didn't interfere as they were scared of offending elder Wang, who is known for being petty and the two girls were also too weak to be important disciples of an elder and were probably just common disciples.
When Xiao Liu finished narrating the story, he felt the air become many times colder and knew that Jiang Mang was infuriated. Jiang Mang had even released his death qi directly, which is incredibly sinister and dark. Gu Hei, who was inside of Jiang Mang's mind felt the wrath directly and was even scared a bit as she knew of his capabilities. She tried to talk reason with him and advised him to wait for tomorrow and talk to his masters.
Jiang Mang then calmed down and decided to wait for tomorrow. He was, however, already planning multiple methods of torture inside of his mind. After living with these two sisters for three months, he had started regarding them as close as actual big sisters and even forced them to either call him Xiao Mang or little brother. This was because he missed his home on the Xuan continent and the love of his parents. He also missed his friends, who saw him as the leader but treated him as their little brother.
The killing intent that he hadn't activated for five months had now resurfaced and become even stronger due to him overcoming his greatest fear during the recruitment test. To cool his thoughts down, he started playing his death zither. The whole cave was submerged in the sound of his performance, which was a qi song from the imperial academy called Nightmare Hell. He felt that this song perfectly represented his current feelings and killing intent. It was just many times darker, sharper, and filled with his killing intent. He didn't activate the sleeping and nightmare effect of the qi song as he didn't want to harm his two sisters, who were unconscious as the technique could currently kill high saint stage cultivators within seconds, while peak saint stage cultivators would be driven to insanity.
