Capital City Storms: Jade's Birth

Seeing everyone sitting up straight, looking very serious, I nodded with satisfaction. They still knew what was important.

I first went to my eldest brother, Lang Feng. Since my eldest brother Lang Feng's body was very good and he had been practicing the Taiji Yin Yang Art for some time, cleansing his marrow should be the easiest.

I gently placed my right hand on my eldest brother's Tianling acupoint, focused my intent on my Dantian, and sent True Primordial Energy from my Dantian through his Tianling acupoint and along his meridians... I really didn't expect it, it was too simple, much easier than I anticipated. Yes, I succeeded with great ease.

Then, at an extremely fast pace, I cleansed the marrow of my three disciples one by one. Only with Zhang Yu did I expend a lot of True Primordial Energy, simply because Zhang Yu's Internal Cultivation was not good at all, but he was still a young man. This expenditure was within my capacity.

My Brother Wang's meridians were also very good, and I succeeded with great ease. However, his beloved – my Sister Yu – although she had practiced a few moves, had never practiced Internal Cultivation, which gave me a lot of trouble. But I was still a cultivator with a lot of experience (from my previous life), so I managed to succeed for her. I let out a long sigh. Next were the two older ones, and I was in for some hardship. My mind moved, and my True Primordial Energy circulated faster to compensate for my consumption. I turned and walked towards Uncle Zhang.

Ha! My Uncle Zhang was grinning at me. I gave a wry smile. I was truly pitiful. There was no choice; I had made such grand pronouncements earlier, and now I could only buckle down and work.

Helplessly, I placed my right hand on Uncle Zhang's Tianling acupoint. Ah! Heavens! His meridians were actually unobstructed, as if he were a born Innate Master. How could this be?

In an instant, I understood. Uncle Zhang had poured all his energy into jade carving, and he had already reached the level of utilizing natural forces in his jade carving. As the saying goes, all things have their own Way. Naturally, his body had also been transformed by the natural forces. I became a little happy. With Uncle Zhang, who had already comprehended nature, his cultivation would rapidly soar in the future. I was also relieved about his safety; he was an indispensable part of my plan. I happily withdrew my hand and walked towards the last person – Lang Feng's mother.

"Hey, nephew, did you cleanse my marrow or not? Why don't I feel anything? Are you angry because I laughed at you earlier?" My Uncle Zhang shouted from behind me. I was going crazy. You're still complaining. I turned back and shouted at Uncle Zhang:

"Uncle Zhang, your meridians are already unobstructed, so there's no need for me to do this extra step. You're still yelling at me. Think about it, ever since you understood how to use natural forces for carving, haven't you gotten sick, and haven't you been more energetic than before?"

"It seems so. Hmm... nephew, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry!" Uncle Zhang said to me a little sheepishly.

I shook my head with a wry smile, turned, and walked in front of First Wife. I placed my right hand on her head's Tianling acupoint. Heavens! I can't go on living.

I knew First Wife was not young anymore, and her health was not good. She hadn't practiced any martial arts, so her meridians were naturally not very good. But I didn't expect her meridians to be so, so, so bad, with almost no visible unobstructed meridians. There was no choice. I had said those words earlier, and besides, she was my eldest brother's mother!

I took a deep breath and forcefully circulated my True Primordial Energy. Streams of True Primordial Energy with a gentle attribute permeated every meridian in First Wife's body, slowly clearing the impurities within her. First Wife's body was too fragile, and I didn't dare to force it. After a long time, my True Primordial Energy was almost depleted, but First Wife's meridians were finally opened by me...

I withdrew my right hand, my body swayed, and my face turned pale. It had been a long time since I had felt this weak. But at least I had fixed First Wife's body and meridians. I was surprised to find everyone staring at me with wide eyes.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you looking at me like that?" I felt embarrassed being stared at by them.

"Young Master, look at First Wife," Sister Yu said, glaring at me. What's wrong? Can't she even withstand such gentle energy? If something happens to her, won't my eldest brother be heartbroken?

I looked at First Wife nervously. What, I was stunned too!

First Wife had transformed from a woman in her forties to one in her thirties. Her previously haggard face was now radiant, and even those few strands of white hair had disappeared. It was too magical. How come I didn't know that Marrow Cleansing had the effect of rejuvenation? No, the others didn't have any obvious changes either!

Eldest Brother Lang Feng walked up to me and said excitedly, "Second brother, do you know how old my mother is this year? My mother is only thirty years old this year. It's just that life has been too hard these past few years, and she's always been working tirelessly. Moreover, she just had a serious illness, which caused her to age rapidly. Now you've made my mother young again. Eldest brother doesn't know what to say!" Eldest brother was a bit choked up.

I looked at everyone and said, "You're all fine. Do you know I'm very tired right now? I need to recover. You guys go with Zhang Yu to the Wind and Rain Tower outside, to the room we booked, and take a bath. You're all covered in the impurities I forced out earlier. Tonight, I'll be in the secret chamber."

"Nephew, I don't have any impurities on me, so I won't go to the restaurant. I'll stay here too," Uncle Zhang immediately said to me.

I glanced at him and said calmly, "Alright, alright. I will definitely do as I promised. Before tomorrow morning, I will give you a piece of Flawless Jade."

Uncle Zhang smiled happily, not the least bit embarrassed that I had guessed his thoughts. This man's thick skin is directly proportional to his age!

"Flawless Jade, who has Flawless Jade!" Brother Wang exclaimed. As the steward trained by the Zhang Family, he was familiar with all sorts of treasures. He was very aware of Flawless Jade, a treasure that only existed in legends.

"Of course, it's your young master. Besides your young master, who else would have such a grand gesture! One moment it's a child becoming a sword god, the next it's something about eternal life, becoming an immortal, and now Flawless Jade. Nothing is strange anymore," Uncle Zhang was extremely happy today, rarely seen so talkative.

"What is Flawless Jade?" My ignorant eldest disciple was embarrassing me again. Alas! My Uncle Zhang began to explain the preciousness of Flawless Jade to him again. I only heard Li Da and Li Er exclaim "Wow!" "Wow!"...

"Uncle Zhang will be here. You others should leave first. Tomorrow morning, I will let you see this Flawless Jade. Hurry up and go. It's getting late. If you're any later to the restaurant, you'll have to ask the waiter to open the door. Look at the stench coming from you all, hurry up and go," I said loudly to the guys who were already eager to see the Flawless Jade after listening to Uncle Zhang's explanation.

I didn't say it, and they didn't feel the strange smell on themselves. Once I mentioned it, they all started running out.

"Uncle Zhang, you rest here for a while. I'll go to a secret chamber next door to create the Flawless Jade you want. As soon as I create it, I'll bring it to show you. You absolutely must not disturb me. I cannot be disturbed at all during the creation process. Otherwise, all my efforts will be in vain. Do you understand? You must not disturb me!" I said to Uncle Zhang with a serious expression.

"I know. I'm also a jade carver. I know that when I'm working, I cannot be disturbed by others. I understand this principle, so don't worry!" Uncle Zhang also knew that what I was about to do was extremely important, and he also became serious.

"Okay, you stay here. I'm going. Goodbye!" I said, and walked out of the secret chamber. I came to the secret chamber passage and headed straight for the secret chamber where I had discovered the Eight Formations Diagram and the True Martial Seven Sections Array. That was a very good secret chamber for personal cultivation!

Walking into the secret chamber, seeing the table made entirely of green jade made me feel very comfortable! Such a large piece of high-grade jade contained extremely powerful energy. Sitting next to it to cultivate made my mood very good. I took out a piece of top-grade jade from my bosom. I had consumed too much just now. How many days would it take to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? It was better to use this top-grade jade.

I sat cross-legged on a jade cushion. This jade cushion was quite ordinary; it was only a medium-grade jade. I held the top-grade jade in both hands and placed it at my Dantian. My hands slowly but steadily absorbed the immense energy of the top-grade jade...

In a daze, I felt that the top-grade jade had no energy left. I then looked inward at my Dantian. That Golden Core was now as large as a luminous pearl. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before I could enter the mid-stage of the Golden Core.

A slight smile appeared on my face. I slowly opened my eyes because I knew that the Flawless Jade had been born. It was in my hand. I looked down, and a verdant jade stone lay quietly in my hand, emitting a dazzling jade light. I could clearly see what was beneath the jade. Yes, it was transparent. Without a single flaw, it was Flawless Jade!

I stood up quietly, holding the Flawless Jade to report to my Uncle Zhang. He was eagerly waiting!

I walked to the door of the secret chamber. Uncle Zhang was still pacing back and forth inside, full of anxiety. Brother Wang and the others were all here.

I walked in with a smile, greeting everyone with a smile: "Everyone, you're here. Good. Let's all take a look at this Flawless Jade together!"

Uncle Zhang looked at me and said, "Nephew, your uncle has waited for you all night. As for them, they slept through the night and now they'll look with me. I really feel uncomfortable."

Looking at Uncle Zhang's appearance, I smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, your body is good. What's the problem with staying up all night? Alright, alright. Now, everyone, carefully examine this legendary Flawless Jade!"

After speaking, I extended my right hand, which had been behind my back. I opened my palm, and a Flawless Jade emitting a dazzling green light appeared before everyone's eyes. In this dimly lit secret chamber, it appeared even more dazzling and captivating.

For a moment, the entire secret chamber fell silent. Everyone stared at this legendary Flawless Jade, seemingly lost in its brilliant, faint green glow. Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the Flawless Jade he had longed for.

After a long time, exclamations finally filled the secret chamber. This group of people had witnessed the birth of the first Flawless Jade in history, and it was because of this Flawless Jade that the legend of Zhang Xingfeng began.
