Yang Shi entered Yang Fu's room first.
He saw Yang Fu staring blankly at a pair of chopsticks, a broken bowl at his feet, with some Spirit Rice scattered on the floor.
Yang Shi and Jiang Xiaobai both let out a sigh of relief.
"How could you be so careless? Come on, go sit on the bed. Mother will clean this up."
Jiang Xiaobai prepared to get to work.
Yang Shi noticed something strange about Yang Fu and sensed something was off.
"Fu'er, are you feeling unwell? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Yang Fu turned his head and touched his lower abdomen.
"Father, I feel... bloated in my stomach. It's like there's a stream of energy spinning around."
Jiang Xiaobai placed her hand on Yang Fu's small arm, circulated her spiritual power once, and said in disbelief:
"Fu'er... Fu'er has already reached the Fetal Breath stage, first layer!"
Yang Shi: "Ah!?"
Without any guidance, without taking any pills, at three years old, he had entered the Fetal Breath first layer on his own.
This stunned both of them, even frightening them a little!
Even a top-tier genius would be no more than this!
[Yang Family descendant takes first step on the immortal path, Incense +100!]
"Good lad, that's a lot of Incense! Your father, a Half-step Innate Grandmaster, only gave 100 Incense."
Yang Genshuo was pleasantly surprised but also expected it. He had long known just how terrifying Yang Fu's true talent was.
"[Fallen Genius]. +99% cultivation speed before Foundation Establishment. He doesn't even need to circulate a technique; his body naturally absorbs Heaven and Earth spiritual energy!"
"This Earth-grade talent is stronger than Heaven-grade talents before Foundation Establishment!"
"Since that's the case, let Yang Fu begin his cultivation."
Starting cultivation at three years old, at least three years earlier than normal cultivators in the Cultivation World. With his cultivation speed, three years would be enough to cross several minor realms.
"Which technique should little Yang Fu cultivate?"
The Yang Family currently had three cultivation techniques.
"Mysterious Stone Qi Guiding Technique," "Spring Wood Longevity Art," and "Five Elements Moving Technique."
The "Spring Wood Longevity Art" was eliminated first, as it could only cultivate up to Qi Refinement Great Perfection, lacking a Foundation Establishment technique. It was unsuitable for a child like Yang Fu, who cultivated extremely fast.
The "Mysterious Stone Qi Guiding Technique" was a common technique used by Outer Disciples of the Xuan Shi Sect, also adopted by some cultivation families. It was a standard, run-of-the-mill technique, but its advantage lay in a solid foundation, allowing stable cultivation up to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This was an Earth and Metal dual-element technique, perfectly matching the High-grade Magic Tool [Earth Essence Stone].
Moreover, subsequent techniques and various spells could be obtained from the Xuan Shi Sect. If Yang Fu were to join the Xuan Shi Sect in the future, he could smoothly advance to Foundation Establishment and achieve no small status.
If Yang Fu cultivated this technique and later joined the Xuan Shi Sect, becoming a high-ranking member would be a natural progression.
As for the "Five Elements Moving Technique,"
Yang Genshuo read its description.
"By spending five times the cultivation time of a peer, one can form a Five Elements cycling spiritual power vortex within the body, achieving invincibility at the same realm and even fighting above one's level."
When he first read this, he thought the creator of the technique was a complete fool.
But now, it seemed it could create a wonderful chemical reaction with Yang Fu's talent.
"Although Yang Fu has Five Spiritual Roots, because of [Innate Root of Wisdom (Heaven-grade)], his Spiritual Root Aptitude is extremely high, falling between Four Spiritual Roots and Three Spiritual Roots."
"He also has a genius experience card before Foundation Establishment."
"So this fivefold cultivation time, even if it still makes him slower than ordinary cultivators to advance, is no longer unacceptable."
"Since his talent runs out upon reaching Foundation Establishment, why not use the double cultivation speed from the [Fallen Genius] talent to achieve the strongest Foundation Establishment!"
Let Yang Fu spend longer cultivation time to gamble on a higher ceiling!
This "Five Elements Moving Technique" was the most suitable technique for Yang Fu.
Yang Genshuo made up his mind.
[Divine Manifestation].
"Yang Fu is exceptionally gifted. The 'Five Elements Moving Technique' matches his talent. Let him begin cultivating from today."
"Yes, Old Ancestor!"
Yang Shi excitedly picked up Yang Fu and planted a big kiss on his little cheek.
"Hahaha~ My son has the bearing of an emperor! My son can cultivate at three years old!"
"Father~ It tickles!"
Yang Fu pushed away Yang Shi's chin, looking disgusted.
"Hahaha~"
Yang Shi was in an excellent mood.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at her husband and child, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Yang Genshuo also pressed the acceleration button.
He couldn't help but want to see just how far this kid Yang Fu could grow.
If Yang Shi couldn't find that Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure capable of regrowing spiritual roots in this lifetime, then Yang Fu had a much better chance of fulfilling that wish for him.
Two days later.
Heqing Town.
A fat and a skinny cultivator, both masked, arrived at this peaceful little town.
The two strolled to the busiest commercial street.
Suddenly, they raised two Soul Summoning Banners!
"Blood Soul Great Law!"
Spiritual power surged, dark clouds gathered over the town, and blood rain began to fall.
One by one, black vengeful spirits twisted out from the Soul Summoning Banners and lunged at the passersby!
In an instant, a Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts!
Heqing Town turned into a living hell.
"Aaaah!"
"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"
"Mom! Give me back my mom!"
"My son! My precious son!"
The mortals wailed as they watched vengeful spirits snatch their loved ones from their sides, powerless to do anything. They tried to run, but their legs wouldn't move; instead, a pulling force dragged them toward the banners.
Despair and panic instantly engulfed the entire city.
"What fiend dares cause trouble here!"
"Prepare to die!"
Two middle-aged men with protective qi barriers around their bodies rushed out from the town, their bodies blazing with surging, righteous blood energy!
When the vengeful spirits touched them, they were scorched, billowing thick black smoke.
"Hmph!"
The two raised their Red-tasseled Spears, true qi spreading across their forms.
"Righteous Qi Spear!"
They unleashed countless spear shadows, slaying several vengeful spirits around them.
This brought a glimmer of hope to the despairing mortals of Heqing Town.
"Hehe~ A little town like this actually has two Innate Grandmasters. What a pleasant surprise. I wonder what it'll feel like when your souls enter my Soul Summoning Banner~ Hehehe~"
"It won't feel like anything. Once you enter the banner, you lose your sense of self—no perception. Otherwise, your banner would've been taken over by rebellious souls long ago."
The Skinny Demon Cultivator spoke calmly.
The Fat Demon Cultivator's face darkened. "Do I need you to teach me?"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two Innate Grandmasters charged at lightning speed, their long spears gleaming with true qi light. Vengeful spirits scattered out of the way, and the sharp spear qi carved deep grooves into the walls along the entire street.
They could tell these two demon cultivators were powerful, but they were blood brothers with perfect coordination, and the Righteous Qi Spear was specifically designed to counter demon cultivators. It wasn't impossible.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Two black ghostly hands tore through their chests, gripping their still-beating hearts.
Bang!
The Fat Demon Cultivator pulled his hands out of the Soul Summoning Banner, crimson, scalding blood dripping down his arms, reeking of evil.
"I'm taking these two souls."
"What, you think you're the only one who gets a say?"
The Skinny Demon Cultivator's hands flickered with black light as he drew one Innate Grandmaster's soul into his own Soul Summoning Banner.
One hour later, Heqing Town had become a dead town.
"Delicious! Absolutely delicious!"
"Not as good as cultivators, though."
Just as the two were about to leave, a streak of black light shot over from the distance.
"Oh? A Soul Seal from our Blood Soul Valley."
The Skinny Demon Cultivator raised his Soul Summoning Banner to guide the black light down.
After sensing for a moment, he said, "Xiang Pichi is dead."
