Chapter 92: Chapter 88: Young Master, It’s Time to Take Your Medicine
A lifetime unfolds like a scroll painting, a dance of light and shadow.
A revolving lantern of memories, replaying scene after scene.
The dragon appears in the field. It is advantageous to see the great man.
Half guest, half host; half acquaintance, half confidant.
The hidden dragon lies dormant. Or it leaps into the abyss.
Upon entering the Immortal Sect, a long accumulation burst forth.
His skills surpassed the masses. The dragon soars in the heavens.
The arrogant dragon will have cause for regret. What is full cannot long endure.
A grass snake’s trail, a grey thread stretching for a thousand miles.
Possessing hidden brilliance, one can persevere. It is advantageous to cross the great river.
The dragon fights in the fields. Its blood is black and yellow.
A powerful foe was slain, a beauty’s hair turned white.

Additionally, having accumulated three reincarnations with evaluations above C Level, you have acquired the Great Divine Ability "Knowing the Celestial Mandate."
Soul, return!
"Young Master Yu, it’s time for your medicine. Please don’t make things difficult for me! With injuries like yours, if you don’t take your medicine, your whole body will fester. Why must you do this to yourself?"
"Young Master Yu, pretending to be unconscious is useless. Miss Xi never compromises. It’s one thing to bring this suffering upon yourself, but you’re going to drag me down with you."
"Young Master Yu, Young Master Yu!"
Consciousness began to coalesce from the chaos.
’Who’s calling me?’
’No, the more crucial question is...’
’Who am I?’
’Who the hell am I?’
’That’s right, I remember now. I am Yu Fei, born to a wealthy family... I was intelligent from a young age but disliked studying, instead obsessed with seeking immortals and the Dao... I finally encountered traces of immortals and came to this Holy Blood Sect... where hundreds of young men and women underwent the entrance examination together...’
’But that’s not right. In my memory, I was a Champion Scholar, full of ambition, ready to make a name for myself in the Wu Kingdom and eradicate its deep-rooted problems...’
’No, I remember now. I was a transmigrator from a place called Earth. After graduating from what I think was called a "985" university, I didn’t become some big shot. To avoid unemployment, I worked a grueling 9-9-6 schedule every day. I had no money for a house and didn’t dare to get married or have kids. My only joy was drinking "happy water" and playing video games...’
’Still not right. Let me think again... Long Ruzhen, Liao Leizhong, Elder Tao, the Little Eyes Daoist...’
’The Governor of Three States, Little Fatty, Ma Chongyu...’
’Who was that woman, as beautiful as a peach blossom, but with a head of white hair?’
’Whose voice was that, whispering in my ear: Qing Lang, Qing Lang...’
’No, if I listened closely, the call was clearly: Brother Ying, Brother Ying!’
’Yu Fei... Qiu Yuanqing... Fang Zhongying...’
’These were all names I had used in past lives.’
’And my real name is...’
’Du Youqian.’
He shook his groggy head and pushed himself up with his arms.
He quickly surveyed his surroundings.
The tables, chairs, bed, and cabinets in the small room looked slightly old, but they were all made from high-quality wood.
The pure white canopy and bedding were as good as new, exuding a refreshing fragrance. They were clearly no ordinary items.
He felt pain in many places on his body. He must have been beaten until his skin split open.
’Where is this?’
Memories flooded in.
After his Spirit Root was tested, he was discovered to have rare Middle Grade Fire-Wind Dual Spirit Roots...
He was noticed by an Inner Disciple, the Foundation Establishment Second Layer Cultivator Xi Mengran, and chosen as her preparatory Furnace Cauldron.
Because she also possessed Middle Grade Fire-Wind Dual Spirit Roots, she planned to cultivate him to Foundation Establishment, then use some Secret Technique for Gathering and Replenishing. This would potentially allow her Spirit Root to break through to the Upper Grade, letting her compete for the position of True Inheritor and giving her a higher chance of achieving Core Formation.
This place was a small courtyard within Xi Mengran’s cave abode, her "golden house to hide a beauty."
Before he overcame the Mystery of the Womb, his "Yu Fei" self had been unwilling to be fattened up like a pig. He had sworn to resist to the death, refusing to cultivate or take Elixirs. As a result, he was taught a harsh lesson by the servants several times.
But now... Du Youqian smiled faintly.
’Foundation Establishment Second Layer? How impressive.’
’She’s probably willing to invest so generously in my Cultivation because she has no intention of teaching me any Magic, Secret Techniques, or Sword Fighting Arts. She just wants to fatten me up, making it easier for her to perform the Gathering and Replenishing.’
’This is actually pretty good. Someone provides all the Cultivation resources, and I don’t have to waste my energy on miscellaneous tasks.’
’Besides, I now have the Middle Grade Spirit Root I’ve always dreamed of.’
’In this life, I’ll definitely be able to reach Qi Cultivation Perfection very quickly.’
’Once I also reach Foundation Establishment, we’ll see who’s replenishing whom.’
’The Holy Blood Sect... a First-class Sect of the Demon Sect.’
’My luck in this life isn’t half bad. I have a chance to witness the heritage of a First-class Sect.’
’And the Collection Room of a First-class Sect must have plenty of precious materials, Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, and Inheritances of Cultivation Techniques, right...’
"Young Master Yu, done pretending?"
Du Youqian’s gaze fell on the young servant girl, who was rather attractive with a full chest and a slender waist.
After a moment of contemplation, Du Youqian said, "You’re He Xiang, right? Bring me the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll, bring me the Elixir, and bring me the Spirit Stones."
He Xiang was clearly a little surprised and pleased, but she maintained her arrogant posture, revealing only a scornful smile. "You should have done this long ago, Young Master Yu. Being a Furnace Cauldron is nothing to be ashamed of. After Miss Xi is finished with you, if her Cultivation has improved and she’s in a good mood, even the scraps she lets slip through her fingers will benefit you endlessly."
"I’m telling you, if you don’t have the destiny for it, then stop dreaming. Do you really think just anyone can become one of those Immortal Masters who fly around? You’re just the young master of some country bumpkin landlord. How could you possibly have that kind of destiny? Just obediently cooperate with Miss Xi, and you won’t be shorted on your benefits in the future!"
Du Youqian couldn’t be bothered to get angry with a little servant girl whose mind was full of slavish thoughts, nor would he try to curry favor with her.
However, if he wanted a more comfortable life from now on, he needed to put this servant in her place.
He sat on the bed without getting off, simply letting his feet hang down.
Without even raising his eyelids, he said in a flat tone, "Cut the crap. Bring me the things, then get lost. If you annoy me, I’ll go complain to Miss Xi. If you’re lucky, you’ll just lose a layer of skin. If you’re not, you’ll lose your life."
"You!" He Xiang snapped, though she lacked confidence. "You’re just a Furnace Cauldron! What right do you have to speak to me like that?"
"And you’re just a lowly servant, understand?" Du Youqian shot her a scornful glance before looking away again. "Whereas I am a delicacy your Miss plans to savor in the future. To make this delicacy of hers a little more delicious, do you think your Miss would mind casually killing a few servants?"
As expected, He Xiang was terrified and at a complete loss.
She hadn’t expected that this stubborn but inarticulate son of a country landlord would suddenly become so sharp-tongued.
Composing herself, she decisively knelt and pleaded with a sob in her voice, "It was my fault. I beg you, Young Master Yu, in your magnanimity, please don’t lower yourself to my level!"
Du Youqian couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on her.
’Even if I need to gather information, I can’t ask her right away. I need to observe her for a while and find a stable source of intelligence later.’
So he waved his hand and said flatly, "Bring the things, then get lost. Don’t be an eyesore."
"Yes!" He Xiang scrambled out and returned a moment later with a Jade Scroll and an Elixir.
After putting them down, she opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, Du Youqian waved his hand again. She had no choice but to retreat dejectedly.
After He Xiang left, Du Youqian got up and picked up the items from the table.
He first pressed the Jade Scroll to his forehead. Although he had not yet begun his Cultivation, he was not without Divine Sense; it was just very weak.
The Jade Scroll would naturally project its contents into his mind.
After scanning the Jade Scroll, he picked up the Elixir to inspect it.
