Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 521: 486: Taking you hunting!

After grasping the knowledge about the Kidney Divine Treasure, Zhang San asked Baili Niezhen for some details on cultivating Divine Treasures.

With a new method for cultivating Divine Treasures researched, Zhang San began to try it out.

Indeed, as he continuously repaired the two Divine Treasures, Zhang San distinctly felt his perception of the two Divine Treasures growing stronger.

Even the two Divine Aspects within the Divine Treasure palace showed a certain response to his Qi.

Over the next three days, Zhang San relentlessly consumed his own resources to cultivate his two Kidney Divine Treasures.

The originally damaged walls within the Kidney Divine Treasure were all repaired, and even the paths between the palaces were mended by Zhang San.

At this moment, the two originally dim Divine Treasures suddenly emitted dazzling brilliance.

One Divine Treasure emitted a deep blue light, resembling the vast ocean under the waves.

Zhang San knew that the Five Organs correspond to the Five Elements.

And among the Five Elements, the Kidneys govern water.

Therefore, it was quite normal for the Kidney Treasure Manor to emit such deep blue light.

At this moment, within the palace at the heart of the Divine Treasure, the originally dull-colored Divine Aspect also turned deep blue in an instant.

At that time, the other Kidney Divine Treasure also began to glow.

However, this time the light emitted from the Kidney Divine Treasure was silver.

Zhang San glanced at the silver light and felt that something was not right.

As a decent person like myself, how could my Kidney Divine Treasure emit silver light.

Indecent!

It’s indeed indecent!

Therefore, it must be white light!

Yes!

As an upright and straightforward person like myself, the light emitted from the Kidney Divine Treasure must definitely represent beauty and brightness, hence it must be white light.

As the two Divine Aspects within the Kidney Divine Treasure slowly awoke, the Wheel Sea Water inside the Kidney Divine Treasure also began to drain out bit by bit.

At this moment, Zhang San finally understood that Baili Niezhen’s method of cultivation was correct.

Because the Kidney Divine Treasure could expel the sea water on its own, there was no need for him to expel it himself, and this sensation was much more smooth than when he depended on his own Qi to expel the Wheel Sea Water from the Kidney Divine Treasure.

After a moment, Zhang San, who had finished cultivating, opened his eyes and glanced at Hei, who had been protecting him the whole time.

"How long did I cultivate?"

"Master, you have been cultivating for three days!"

Zhang San originally thought that he was just simply cultivating his two Kidney Divine Treasures a bit, and never expected that three days had passed.

But he clearly felt as if only two and a half days had passed!

However, all efforts are worthwhile.

Additionally, in the north these days, the duration of daylight was longer, so Zhang San also had more time to continuously refine his own Qi Acupoints.

Although Body Refinement is not something that needs to be hurried.

But Zhang San knew that being a bit stronger meant that he could recapture a bit more of the spoils of war.

And as long as he had enough spoils of war, then the speed at which he could refine the Wheel Sea Water within his Five Viscera Wheel Seas would be faster, and he would definitely be able to find his Heart Divine Treasure eventually.

Once he found his Heart Divine Treasure, then according to Mozi’s method, there would be hope for his temporal curse.

Luckily, recently he had not felt any difference between his flow of time and others’.

Suddenly, Zhang San thought of something, turned his head and glanced at Hei, asking, "Hei, did I truly cultivate for three days and nights?"

"Not really."

Hearing this answer, Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Zhang San thought he had perceived it to be two days and about six or seven two-hour periods, but in reality, three full days had passed.

That meant his time was a sixth less than others’!

"Two days and nine two-hour periods, right."

In the instant he heard this, Zhang San was completely unsettled.

He had perceived it as two days and about six or seven two-hour periods, but it actually had been two days and nine two-hour periods.

A tenth!

In that moment, Zhang San finally realized.

His time was already a tenth less than other people’s.

Previously, Zhang San had not felt much difference, so in his opinion, perhaps while others experienced twelve two-hour periods in a day, he was just a bit less by about half a two-hour period.

The lost time was trivial.

But now, it seemed not that the burnt time was less, but rather that he was completely unaware of this condition.

This curse was too terrifying.

Originally somewhat composed, Zhang San was now a bit panicked.

Stepping out of his sleeping quarters and looking outside, Zhang San saw that the sun had just risen.

"Hei, go, call over the maidservant team, have them bring their battle gear; I want to take them hunting today!"

At this moment, Zhang San realized he must quickly gain more resources, so he could more rapidly refine the Wheel Sea Water within his Five Viscera Wheel Seas and find his Heart Divine Treasure sooner.

A tenth of the time!

This was already sufficient to impact the outcome of his confrontations with some experts.

Accelerate!

He must accelerate his cultivation efficiency!

Even then, Zhang San felt that from now on, he had to seize every minute and second.

Thus, Hei went to summon the maid group to prepare for departure while he himself sat on the ground, basking in the sunlight cast from the rising sun in the east, taking the opportunity to cultivate.

It was good to cultivate a bit longer.

When Baili Niezhen and the others arrived, they were curious to see Zhang San sitting on the ground cultivating.

Hearing the noises around him, Zhang San slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Baili Niezhen and the others, and said, "Do you like hunting?"

Baili Niezhen and the rest nodded.

"Alright, Hei, prepare to set out!"

Zhang San, who had stood up from the ground, said this as he gave Hei a meaningful look.

Having had a long-standing relationship of rider and mount, Hei intuitively understood Zhang San’s look, leaping forward and transforming into a Black Chi Dragon.

Initially, Baili Niezhen and the others sensed some demon qi on Hei, but there was also a noble aura of the Dragon Clan, thus they suspected that he might be a dragon-kind demon.

But they never imagined that Hei’s true form would be a Chi Dragon.

After jumping onto the back of the Chi Dragon, Zhang San said to those below, "Get on! I’ll take you to raid the Tujue!"

Upon hearing about raiding the Tujue, all thirteen Half-Demons realized that an opportunity to earn merit was upon them!

Thirteen Half-Demons leapt up and landed on Hei’s back.

This was the first time Hei was carrying so many people, ferrying Zhang San and the others swiftly towards the north.

In the distance, Changsun Bubai noticed this scene and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He asked Changsun Wuji, who happened to pass by, "What’s been going on with Zhang San lately?"

"I haven’t been sneaking out to drink flower wine."

Changsun Bubai gave Changsun Wuji a stern look, and Changsun Wuji then realized he had answered incorrectly. He awkwardly chuckled and said, "He’s been quite diligent in his cultivation lately!"

Changsun Bubai countered, "Before, Zhang San always left the camp first, letting his mount transform and fly to the prairies. After all, the power of the Chi Dragon could affect many of the warhorses in the army. But this time, he seems very rushed!"

Only then did Changsun Wuji realize that this was indeed the case.

"Could it be to show off in front of his maid group? Grandfather, you didn’t see it, but each of them is so vibrant and beautiful, truly... beauties that bring disaster! Indulgences that lead to the loss of ambition! I, Changsun Wuji, a man of iron and blood, must not be bewitched by beauty like Zhang San! Grandfather, I’ll go back to continue my martial training!"

Having said this, Changsun Wuji quickly walked away, then realized that his grandfather might not have actually heard what he said.

Or perhaps, it was as if he had just let out an odorless fart in front of him.

Since that’s the case...

Hehe! Back to drinking!

At this time, in midair, the Black Chi Dragon carried Zhang San and the thirteen maids from the maid group towards a certain Tujue tribe as directed by Zhang San.

Zhang San guessed that Martial Artists had probably already started attacking Tujue tribes.

But Martial Artists of the Great Sui naturally knew that the Tujue weren’t easy to provoke, so they usually attacked at night.

Therefore, this time he had to do the opposite and strike during the day.

After all, for Zhang San, how many Tujue he killed now was meaningless.

But raiding the Tujue was very meaningful to him.

"Master, how is your cultivation of the two Kidney Divine Treasures going?"

The Cat-eared Lady, who had volunteered to be sullied by Zhang San thirteen times in one night for her sisters, asked Zhang San with a beaming smile.

"Both Divine Treasures are luminous. By the way, is there any particular sign when the Divine Treasures become luminous?"

Baili Niezhen immediately explained, "Different Divine Treasures, because of the different Five Elements they govern, have different powers, thus the colors also vary. For instance, the Lungs govern Metal, so the Lung Divine Treasure is mostly gold colored. The purer and brighter the gold, the stronger the lungs are, and the stronger the breathing capacity. On the other hand, if the gold is dull or only reaches the level of yellow, that indicates weakness."

Hearing this, Zhang San nodded in satisfaction, then said, "In my two Kidney Divine Treasures, one is dark blue, the other is white. How is that?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Niezhen couldn’t help but frown.

She hesitated on how to respond.

But the Cat-eared Lady sitting behind her wasn’t so tactful and directly said, "Master, your kidney seems weak!"

"What!?"

"Blue is because the Kidney governs Water, so one Kidney Divine Treasure would appear blue, and the purer it is, the darker the blue, which indicates a healthy kidney. But the other..."

"Let me put it this way, Master. The Kidney governs strength, so the other Kidney Divine Treasure should ideally be silver, like the stars. But since yours is white, that means it’s dim and lacks luster, hence the white color. This is a sign of a deficient kidney."

Zhang San hurriedly explained, "My Kidney Divine Treasure is silver; I just used the wrong word to describe the color."

As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Though he wouldn’t establish any connection with the thirteen maids through his kidneys, he didn’t need his maids thinking he had weak kidneys!

"Master, don’t be embarrassed. We sisters heard that most men of the human race have relatively weak kidneys."

"Nonsense!"

Zhang San immediately straightened his back, his face stern as he said, "Many people have quite good kidneys!"

"Master, do you know that a male Tiger Demon can mate with its partner fifty times in one day?"

"Master, do you know that a Shrew Demon can last for a whole seven two-hour periods in one session?"

"Master? Master, are you listening?"

Zhang San pointed towards a large Tujue tribe ahead and said softly, "It’s right here, get ready to move!"

It wasn’t that Zhang San had already chosen this tribe, it was just that the tribe conveniently appeared when Zhang San needed a new topic to discuss.

Yet at that moment, less than thirty li northeast of this tribe, a well-dressed young Tujue man was patrolling the prairie with his guards.

"Third Prince, we came out early in the morning, can we encounter those Great Sui Martial Artists?"

The young man referred to as the Third Prince glanced at the sun in the sky.

"The prairie needs peace, and I, Xing Luohou, will follow the edict of the God of Mysterious Strategy to defend the peace of the prairie! If any petty Martial Artist from the Land of the Midday Sun comes to invade, I shall make him realize that the arrows of Xing Luohou have eyes!"
