Chapter 10, Soul Power

With the gentle breeze and a sense of tranquility, he felt a rare joy as he watched his elder brother leave the room with the ointment in hand. This spacious house was now left with only him, immersed in an unusual atmosphere of quietness.

With a clear breeze and a light-hearted laugh, he thought to himself that before today, he truly had the intention to study diligently. Relying on his elder brother is not as good as relying on oneself; it is better to seek help from oneself than from others. However, since he is already capable of cultivation, matters such as the imperial examination can be set aside.

Moreover, unlike cultivation methods, the use of this secret technique carries certain risks. Of course, the risks do not lie with the Beast Master, but rather with the beast companion. If the Beast Master makes a mistake while using the "Spirit Summoning Blood Refinement Technique," it is the beast companion that will suffer and endure hardship. Therefore, one must exercise utmost caution; if there is not a high degree of certainty, it is best not to use it recklessly

Haha, you rascal

You can give it a try now

Feng Qing'an lay on the bed, groaning softly, his pants already pulled down to his thighs. A youth with a refined appearance, wearing a helpless smile, patiently applied ointment to him.

Feng Qingping revealed a gentle smile and responded with a rhetorical question

Feng Qing lay back comfortably with his arms crossed, tilting his head to watch his elder brother applying medicine to him

Do you still know about pain https://www.hetushucom.com

The requirement is to refine the physical body of the pet beast nurtured by the "Spirit Guiding Blood Refining Technique" and to awaken its spiritual wisdom

Is this statement true

Feng Qing'an could not help but exclaim, the six-yuan top scholar who was not yet fourteen years old, said to be the reincarnation of a celestial star lord, he was not surprised at all. After all, there are cultivators in existence, and deities as well, so there was nothing to be astonished about.

After listening to the absurd reasoning presented by Feng Qing'an, Feng Qingping found it even more amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter, then said

The medication has been administered to you. For the next few nights, you should sleep on your stomach and avoid moving your body around at night, as it will only cause you more pain later on

Feng Qing'an lay motionless on the bed, unaware of how long he had been cultivating, but he must have eventually fallen asleep. However, one thing is beyond doubt: he had successfully entered a state of cultivation

Alright!

What kind of official do you want to be

The actions of the Yin family may seem fierce, but when it comes down to it, they only leave a few red marks. It is Feng Shouli who truly makes Feng Qing'an have to lie on the bed.

Books should be read and viewed extensively; as for whether to participate in the imperial examination and obtain a degree, it all depends on your own wishes

Knowing the pain, you still dared to say in front of so many people that you want to be a young master, you deserved this beating

Elder brother, do you still not understand me

At this moment, everything that entered his eyes felt somewhat different from before, yet he could not specify exactly what was different; he could only sense a very peculiar feeling

With my left hand I lead the yellow, and with my right I hold the azure, adorned in a brocade hat and a sable fur coat, a thousand riders sweep across the flat hills. I shall take the first option as my elder brother suggested; I cannot engage in the acts of bullying men and dominating women. Catching chickens and fighting dogs, spending the night in a brothel, listening to music in the pleasure quarters is indeed quite pleasant

Yes, my greatest aspiration is to become a successful candidate in the imperial examination

This honest and simple farmer, upon hearing that his second son wanted to take advantage of his elder brother's influence to become a debauched young man, was immediately filled with anger. He picked up a carrying pole and struck without mercy. Fortunately, there were others to intervene; otherwise, Feng Qing'an's legs would likely have been broken.

Feng Qing'an buried his head in the crook of his arm and replied in a muffled voice

You wish to take the imperial examination to seek a minor official position in this county, securing a modest wealth for a lifetime of peace

While I was in the capital, I observed that the children of the powerful and wealthy indulged in luxurious clothing and beautiful women, reveling in the pleasures of life, spending months away from home. I also encountered young scions on the way to the imperial examination, who, relying on their family's influence, bullied both men and women, committing acts of forcibly seizing women and appropriating land, provoking widespread grievances among the populace

Feng Qing'an raised his head, his eyes sparkling, but soon he appeared somewhat dejected

"Ah, brother, please be gentle, it hurts!"

The training of a Beast Master does not impose any specific requirements on body posture. Feng Qing'an simply lay down and began to attempt his first cultivation in life

The powerful and resonant crowing of the rooster sounded at dawn, as Feng Qing'an, who had been lying in bed all night, slowly opened his eyes, looking at the faint light streaming in through the window, slightly surprised

Feng Qingping said with a smile

I am not a wooden figure, how could I possibly not feel pain

Feng Qing'an pondered for a moment, and after carefully reviewing the contents of "Spirit Summoning Blood Refinement Technique," he decided to temporarily disregard this task. He had not even succeeded in forming the first soul contract, and with the meager soul power he had managed to refine, it was barely enough to sense the existence of hetushucomcom, let alone utilize the secret technique.

Feng Qing'an lay quietly on the bed, lost in thought for a while. During this process, his mood gradually returned to calm, and the night grew increasingly tranquil

Hmm

It is not mere nonsense; when I initially set my goal to become a juren, I did not expect that you, elder brother, would be so formidable. Since you have already achieved the rank of six yuan, why should I endure the hardships of ten years of study? I might as well benefit from your success.

Feng Qing'an asked in surprise

Therefore, if I act a bit recklessly now, they will not have such high expectations of me, and in the future, as long as I can behave normally, they will be very pleased

Feng Qingping patiently advised, carefully pulling up the pants for Feng Qing'an, and then bringing a blanket to cover him

Brother, have you not yet realized just how absurd you are? I am just an ordinary person, content to bask in your glory and enjoy a life of wealth and prosperity. Why must you seek unnecessary troubles, insisting on becoming a top scholar? Surely there are many elderly individuals in the examination hall, are there not?

Feng Qingping recalled the various sights he had witnessed in the imperial examination hall, and he could not help but nod. Too many people and books have wasted their lives because of the imperial examination, and by the time they reach old age, they have achieved nothing.

What more is there to discuss about this

Feng Qingping could not help but laugh out loud

... ...

Feng Qingping looked seriously at Feng Qing'an, the smile on his face fading.

Feng Qing'an replied without a moment's thought

However, they want me to be like you, to achieve the highest honors in the examination, and at the very least, to return with the title of Jinshi!

A night has passed

Isn't it good to go and become a top scholar like me?

Oh dear

Feng Qingping smiled and asked

Oh oh oh

Elder brother, do you not want me to become a yamen runner

In the midst of darkness, a glimmer of white light emerged, flickering softly in the shadows. Then, like a shooting star, it pierced through the darkness, falling into the boundless depths, coming to a standstill, creating ripples of white light that spread out in circles.

[Side Quest: Long-term Vision · 3]

Elder brother!

Reward: Unlock the Beast Pet Identification feature

As he carefully reflected on the differences and changes brought about by his practice from the previous night, a mechanical voice devoid of wisdom and emotion suddenly sounded.

Qualified companion beasts must possess extraordinary intelligence and fight alongside their beast masters

So you are just speaking nonsense
