Chapter 7

Instructor Jiang’s original name was Jiang Yunhe. He was Song Ankang’s cheap wife, Tang Yelan. At the same time, he was also a guard specially arranged for him by the Tang Clan’s clan head. His strength had already reached the Internal Realm.

Song Ankang wasn’t sure which stage the Internal Realm had reached, but he was certain that Song Ankang was very strong. He could be said to be the best in Chaoyun Manor.

It was said that Jiang Yunhe was even stronger in the past, but due to an accident, his strength fell drastically, leaving him with only the cultivation of the Internal Realm.

Even so, with his rich combat experience and skills, Jiang Yunhe also became the martial arts instructor for the many guards of the Tang Family. If Tang Yelan had not personally requested for him to come, Jiang Yunhe would not have come to Chaoyun Manor to protect Song Ankang.

From this, it could be seen that Tang Yelan was really nice to the host body. This cheap wife really cared about him.

With Jiang Yunhe’s protection, Song Ankang basically didn’t have to worry about his safety in the Chaoyun Manor.

However, two days ago, in order to secretly learn the Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra to avoid Jiang Yunhe discovering any abnormalities, the host body asked him to go to the capital to bring some cultivation technique manuals to him.

Coincidentally, Jiang Yunhe also wanted to go home to settle some matters, so he left for two days before returning.

“Young Master, these are all cultivation technique manuals. Basically, they are all above grade-eight. There are also some manuals related to food and medicinal herbs. They will be very helpful for your future handling of the farm.”

Jiang Yun was wearing a gray shirt and gray pants. He was tall and burly. He had a square face and big eyes. He gave people the impression that he was honest and steady. He smiled and placed a huge bag of books in front of Song Ankang.

Song Ankang said, “Instructor Jiang, you must be tired from the journey. Guo Guo, go and prepare some food.”

“Alright.”

Qiu Shi smiled and went to prepare food and drinks for Jiang Yunhe. Before he left, he didn’t forget to take a glance at some of the idle books in the books. For example, there were stories about powerful people killing demons and helping the people. There were also stories about the love between a rich young lady and a commoner. Qiu Shi loved to read these books. When Jiang Yun returned to the capital, Qiu Shi specially asked him to buy a few.

After Qiu Shi left, Jiang Yunhe sized up Song Ankang in surprise. “Young master’s body has become much sturdier. Could it be… Could it be that he has reached the Novice Level in cultivation?”

“I suffered some injuries these past two days. When I was lying on the bed, I fell into a state of enlightenment for some reason. I actually found a path that was suitable for me, so my cultivation made some progress.” Song Ankang smiled and explained his abnormality.

Song Ankang did not think that he could hide it from others. After all, regardless of whether it was external or internal forging, his body would be abnormal once he stepped into certain realms.

Unless Song Ankang wrapped his body tightly, he would inevitably expose something.

It was still possible to hide the progress even though it was impossible to completely hide it. Later on, Song Ankang planned to cultivate some concealment secret arts to conceal his speed of improvement. Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated.

Moreover, one had to have some trump cards.

Jiang Yunhe was enlightened. “Enlightenment is hard to come by. I’ve only encountered it once in my life. It’s a pity that I didn’t seize the opportunity. I almost wasted a huge opportunity. Congratulations, Young Master.”

Song Ankang smiled and started to flip through the ancient book in front of him. Soon, his gaze landed on a cultivation technique that could only be cultivated by those in the Qi Refinement realm.

Virign Martial Arts!

This was also a superior seventh-grade divine technique with considerable power. Even though it was an orthodox cultivation technique, if one did not cultivate it properly, it would have side effects that far surpassed demonic arts.

As its name implied, the so-called Virign Martial Arts was something that could only be cultivated in the virgin state.

For those who did not lose their virginity, their progress in cultivating the Virign Martial Arts was extremely fast. Even if their talent and aptitude were not good, their speed of improvement was also very fast.

Furthermore, the Virign Martial Arts cultivated through the was extremely masculine and powerful. It could effectively deal with most demons and monsters and ensure his own safety.

Even though there were many benefits to cultivating the Virign Martial Arts, one had to remain a virgin for life. Once one loses their virginity, one’s internal energy would drop drastically, change, and his or her foundation would be crippled, falling from the Qi Refinement realm.

This side effect far surpassed most demonic arts. Therefore, cultivators who wanted to carry on the family line would basically not choose this cultivation technique, even though there were many benefits to cultivating the Virign Martial Arts.

However, Song Ankang possessed the Fate-Defying Heaven Manual, so he could effectively absorb the side effects and turn them into benefits. The more terrifying the side effects, the greater the benefits he would obtain after absorbing them.

When he stepped into the Qi Refinement realm, he would be able to cultivate the Virign Martial Arts. However, before that, he had to think of a target to break into.

Qiu Shi’s image inexplicably appeared in Song Ankang’s mind as he thought about this point. He immediately shook his head. He wasn’t even 18 yet, so he couldn’t do such a thing. Even though he would be fine even if he did it. However, the Godly Beast of Harmony would kill the author.

There was no need to mention Tang Mingyue. Even though Tang Yelan was a cheap wife, the resistance was equally shocking. Who was he to look for?

Song Ankang frowned and stopped thinking about it. He started to flip through the other manuals and soon, his gaze landed on another superior grade-seven secret technique.

Hidden Heaven Earth Technique!

It was one of the most powerful and useful concealment techniques of the human race. It was said to be able to conceal one’s appearance, vital energy, and spirit. It could even disguise and transform.

It was of good might. The only side effect was that after cultivating it, it would easily cause damage to one’s essence, energy, and spirit, affecting its effects. It was a semi-unorthodox secret technique.

Furthermore, this was only one of the concealment mystic technique. Humans had more than one concealment mystic technique, so very few people cultivated with it.

Song Ankang silently memorized the names of the Virign Martial Arts and the Hidden Heaven Earth Technique. He prepared for his subsequent cultivation before going to read the other cultivation manuals.

In the Mysterious Desolate Great World, secret cultivation techniques were mainly divided into nine grades of Mortal Art / Mortal Techniques, Eighth Grade Spiritual Art / Spiritual Techniques, Seventh Grade Divine Art / Divine Techniques, and so on. Every major technique was further divided into the upper, middle, and lower grades.

That was because the strength and influence of the human race were limited, the strongest cultivation technique and secret skills they had created were Seventh Grade Art Techniques and Divine Techniques. They had yet to hear of any cultivation technique or secret skills that surpassed the Seventh Grade.

As a result, the strongest secret cultivation technique that Song Ankang could obtain was at the upper seventh-grade minor realm. Furthermore, it wasn’t difficult to obtain. In other words, it wasn’t difficult for any human to obtain a seventh-grade divine cultivation technique.

There was no other reason for this. The human race was in a difficult situation and in imminent danger. They didn’t know when they would perish, so how could they continue to play such petty tricks?

Hence, it was not difficult for Song Ankang to obtain cultivation techniques in China, even if it was the highest level cultivation technique of the human race.

Prior to this, the Host body remembered many seventh-grade divine arts and techniques. He specially chose a high-grade seventh-grade Demonic Art Seven Wounds Demonic Sutra to cultivate.

At that moment, Qiu Shi brought the dishes over and specially servered the medicinal cuisine to Song Ankang.

“Young Master, this is the last ginseng. There will be no more lieft. Liu Yuanqing is too petty.”

“Let’s go and teach him a lesson after dinner now that Instructor Jiang is back. Get him to hand over the ginseng obediently.”

“Instructor Jiang, you don’t know this, but I’ve been so angry these past two days. Because young master’s body was weak, he was beaten unconscious by the golden goose. I wanted to take some medicinal herbs to nourish young master’s body, but in the end, that Liu Yuanqing kept rejecting me. He’s really too much.”

“I didn’t ask for too much. These herbs are all in Young Master’s monthly allowance, but Liu Yuanqing refused to give them to us. Young Master and I can’t beat him, so we can only suffer.”

Qiu Shi spoke while serving Song Ankang. She looked rather cute with her long, shapely eyebrows. However, she brought up Song Ankang’s sad past again.

Jiang Yunhe was speechless when he heard that Song Ankang was injured by the goose. He finally understood why Song Ankang improved so quickly and even had an epiphany. He was probably forced by the goose.

This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Jiang Yunhe promised to deal with Liu Yuanqing, who had offended Qiushi and Song Ankang. He was prepared to deal with Liu Yuanqing after dinner. A servant refusing his master’s monthly allowance was unheard of.
