A Mighty Assist to Xiang Pang

Lending Xiang Pang His Strength

That afternoon, the Dragon Tower Master came to pay a visit.

Jiang Feng's status in Zhushan Town was now far from ordinary. His cultivation at the Earth Martial Realm had undoubtedly made him the foremost person in Zhushan Town. It was only natural that the Dragon Tower Master would come visiting.

Though Dragon Tower was special, it still had to maintain good relations with the local powers.

Seeing the Dragon Tower Master arrive, Xiang Pang tactfully greeted him, then withdrew.

"Jiang Feng, I've already asked someone to make inquiries. Your parents are both still alive." After a round of pleasantries, the Dragon Tower Master went straight to the point.

"Really!?" The moment Jiang Feng heard this, he could no longer remain calm and immediately stood up.

This news, to him, was simply heaven-sized good news. As long as they were still alive, there was a chance to save them.

"Mm!" The Dragon Tower Master nodded firmly. As the Dragon Tower Master, his status was special; although he could not meddle in struggles, it was still very easy for him to inquire about a bit of information.

"Not only that, your father broke through to the Earth Martial Realm not long ago. However, you understand as well that this cannot change his fate for the time being. Unless he can break through to the Heaven Martial Realm, he will still remain a slave for life."

Jiang Feng nodded. His father breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm could also be considered gaining another measure of ability to protect himself. This gave him more time. He knew that his father came from an ordinary background; being able to reach the Earth Martial Realm had already broken convention. To reach the Heaven Martial Realm was already nearly impossible to begin with, let alone in that kind of environment.

So the only way to rescue his parents would still depend on him!

After the Dragon Tower Master took his leave, Jiang Feng immediately instructed the steward to call Xiang Pang over.

That very night, Jiang Feng opened all the meridians throughout Xiang Pang's body for him.

When opening another person's meridians, the danger lay in nothing more than the fact that every person's meridians were different. If one rashly opened them without understanding the other party's meridian structure, it was highly likely to injure their meridians, damaging them, while the backlash would also harm oneself.

But this was not a problem at all for Jiang Feng. His divine sense allowed him to clearly see every condition of the meridians inside Xiang Pang's body. Therefore, in opening Xiang Pang's meridians, the only thing he had to bear was the depletion of his cultivation.

However, the depletion of cultivation was almost negligible to Jiang Feng.

His foundation of qi force was extraordinarily powerful, and his mental cultivation method was beyond what ordinary people could compare to, so this tiny amount of depletion was not enough to lower his cultivation. On the contrary, during the process of using qi force to open Xiang Pang's meridians, it could even strengthen his minute-level application of qi force, taking his ability to control qi force to a higher level.

In just one night, all eight extraordinary meridians in Xiang Pang's body were opened and unobstructed, and his cultivation directly reached the ninth level of the Yellow Martial Realm. What remained was for him to accumulate enough qi force on his own and begin tempering his fleshly body, thereby smoothly entering the Black Martial Realm.

Xiang Pang's mental cultivation method was an extremely ordinary one, obtained for free from the town library. In order to help him improve quickly, Jiang Feng created a mental cultivation method tailored to his constitution.

After Xiang Pang learned it, he was utterly astonished. "Ah Feng, where did you get this mental cultivation method? This is simply... simply too perfect."

Of course Jiang Feng would not say that he had created it. In this world, those who could create mental cultivation methods were all extremely formidable figures. Those who could tailor a mental cultivation method to another person's constitution were even more incredible, heaven-piercing, earth-shaking super talents.

Although Xiang Pang had his trust, Jiang Feng still would not reveal the slightest secret concerning the Sutra of Observing Heaven and Eternal Treasures. Because this not only concerned his foundation, it might even bring unnecessary trouble to anyone who knew this secret.

"This is a mental cultivation method I discovered in Nie Hu's library. It just happens to suit you," Jiang Feng casually made up an excuse.

"What's this mental cultivation method called?" Xiang Pang pressed.

"I'm not sure of the name. When I discovered it, it was covered in dust and had no name. Brother Xiang, if you're willing, you can name it yourself." Jiang Feng did not know how many mental cultivation methods he would create in this life. If he had to personally name every single one, it would probably be extremely tiring. So it was better to let the people learning the methods name them themselves, for ease and pleasure.

Xiang Pang was immensely excited. Such a good mental cultivation method actually had no name. But he also did not dare name it casually. If it had been left behind by some senior, and he casually gave it a name, would it not be awkward if they were fated to meet in the future?

"For now, let's call it Nameless," Xiang Pang said after thinking it over.

Jiang Feng chuckled, of course understanding Xiang Pang's thoughts.

With this mental cultivation method, Xiang Pang's cultivation speed also increased greatly. Although it was impossible for him to reach Jiang Feng's freakish speed, it still gave him enough hope to reach the Earth Martial Realm, and perhaps even a chance to touch the threshold of the Heaven Martial Realm.

"Haha!" Thinking of that beautiful future, Xiang Pang could not help laughing loudly. "That Nie Xiaoyue, prettily called the number one proud daughter of heaven in Zhushan Town, even entering a super academy like Huilong Academy, still won't gain as much as I do by cultivating alongside you, Ah Feng."

Originally, after losing the Meridian Opening Pill, Xiang Pang had still been somewhat vexed. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng would directly help him advance to the Black Martial Realm? At this moment, that heroic feeling naturally went without saying.

"Stop getting smug." Jiang Feng laughed and scolded him. "Cultivating in the Black Martial Realm may not be difficult for you, but it won't be easy either. I can't help much with that. You'll still have to rely on yourself."

"This is a body-tempering method, also something I obtained from Nie Hu's library. It suits you fairly well. Take it and cultivate it." As he spoke, Jiang Feng tossed out another body-tempering method.

This body-tempering method naturally had not been obtained from Nie Hu's library, but had been created by Jiang Feng according to Xiang Pang's constitution.

"You even prepared a body-tempering method for me! Tsk, tsk..." Xiang Pang was not polite either. Between brothers, politeness was unnecessary. "What other treasures do you have? Take them all out together. Don't squeeze them out bit by bit later."

"This time there really is nothing else." Jiang Feng chuckled. "Don't be insatiable."

"After cultivating this body-tempering method to perfection, you can strike with one hundred and eighty thousand jin of force. It can be considered quite good, but it's rather difficult to cultivate. If you comprehend it carefully, you should be able to succeed."

Jiang Feng had not finished explaining. This body-tempering method was something he had modified based on the Golden Body of the Wisdom King. Although it was not as powerful as the Golden Body of the Wisdom King, it had still absorbed some of its advantages.

After cultivating it to perfection, possessing one hundred and eighty thousand jin of strength was secondary. The key was that speed and fleshly body toughness were guaranteed at the same time. It was unlike other body-tempering methods on the market, where once one possessed strength, one could no longer take care of speed and fleshly body toughness.

If Xiang Pang cultivated this body-tempering method successfully, it would be enough for him to be invincible within the Black Martial Realm. Even an expert like Su Di, who had one foot stepped into the Earth Martial Realm, would not be able to last fifty moves under his hands.

"Good... good... good!" With just one glance, Xiang Pang discovered the domineering nature of this body-tempering method. "I never imagined there was actually such a body-tempering art in this world."

"Eh..." Xiang Pang suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Feng with deep meaning. "Ah Feng, did you really get this body-tempering method from Nie Hu's library?" Clearly, he was a little suspicious.

If Nie Hu's library had such a powerful body-tempering method, Nie Hu's strength would not have been so poor.

Jiang Feng knew he had been careless, and only smiled without speaking.

Xiang Pang was also a smart person. Since Jiang Feng did not answer, he did not keep asking. He absolutely believed that Jiang Feng would not harm him.

Afterward, the two of them both entered seclusion and began cultivating.

While Jiang Feng and Xiang Pang were wholeheartedly cultivating in seclusion, the Qi Family in the commandery city also received the news that Yuchi Hong and Su Di had both died in battle.
