Chapter 4

Sitting in this classroom I am glad of my choice but there is this one thing that has been annoying me to no end. I lived like 30 years in my first life and while I wasn’t over powered by Nie Li’s personality, I now have this annoying attraction towards Ye Ziyun.

Yeah I know she was already going to be a waifu but I keep catching myself sneaking a peep at her. Its rather annoying. Plus that will just make me look like some kind of creep. That’s totally what Nie Li was when he kept hounding her.

Rather then doing something stupid like standing up to the teacher and making myself a target, I just sat through class like normal. Even when Shen Xiu was spreading the truth to the class I didn’t stand up like a dumb ass who wants to get myself killed off. It was much more fruitful to combine all of Nie Li’s knowledge and read through the material.

Soul cultivation, martial arts, alchemy and inscriptions were just the start of his knowledge. The guy had read thousands of books about everything. Not only that but I now had the temporal demon book in my library. Turns out that Nie Li had it inside of him all of this time. It has an infinite storage space inside and when inside of the book, the time on the outside is stopped. The crappy thing is that it takes one day of normal time to charge one day of time stop. Still, I was able to add all of the other books that Nie Li didn’t read due to one reason or another in my library so I’m happy.

I tried to upgrade the heavens path cultivation method but not much changed. I guess its because the people here cultivate soul force and not life energy. If I go into the Narutoverse will I be able to combine the two into chakra?

I didn’t have any luck with the heavens path cultivation but for the golden body I got a huge upgrade. I don’t have a easy method to check how much of an increase u got but I named the upgraded version Heavens Path Golden Soul Body. The original golden body uses Zhenqi to nurture the body but in this world they use soul force. Combining the two increases the power a body can hold and produce exponentially.

Right after class I went into the library and took a look at all of the books to make sure that I had a copy of them. I am not a broke ass like Nie Li and so I went around to buy the herbs I need for my money making schemes. The purple haze grass was just one of 23 herbs I could have used for the same thing. It was just the cheapest.

While I was walking around, I bought anything I thought would help out the farm along the way. Literally I had tons of seeds. These guys had mega farms and I kind of feel bad because they do it all by hand. I seriously wonder. In all of this time, no one even tried to tying a plow on a mule or something? The state of this city is just sad.

Well, screw it. I’ll invent some stuff when I have time. Taking a piece of paper and a brush, I wrote down all the uses of the purple haze grass in preparation for handing it over to the alchemist association. There’s no need to send it anonymously.

As soon as I walked in, I asked the lady at the desk to take the alchemist master test. I also handed her the slip of paper with the uses for purple haze grass to pass on to the director. The price for the test was no problem and giving the girl a tip of ten thousand demon spirit coins helped her to pass the note along.

Xiao Lan, the pretty girl at the desk then brought me to the testing room. It was empty today and so I was in there with just the two masters. They looked annoyed that I was here but there was not need to antagonize the two. We were all professionals and after introducing myself I picked the first 20 sheets pf test papers.

One third of the questions were wrong but I filled out the answer I knew that they wanted so there was no problem. Each page took me only one to two minutes. If I didn’t have to use a crappy brush then I would have finished much sooner.

Within less then haft an hour, I was done. The two masters were dumbstruck at my speed and accuracy as they had started to grade my papers as I finished. The grading actually took longer then then the time it took me to answer.

The two old guys were starting to creep me out because of the fanboy look I could see in their eyes. "May I know where this young master is from?" One of the old men said, smiling, "My name is Huyan Ming, he is Mu Yang, are both Primary Alchemy Masters." “Yeah, the names Nie Ren. I’m from the Heaven Marks family.”

Both of them didn’t seem to recognize the name and so I told them “The Heavenly Marks family is a Nobel house that dates back to before the age of darkness. Its seen better times but we still have several gold ranks.” Both of them nodded to this. Its not a rare story after all.

Both of the masters brought me into the lounge and ran off the see the president. I took this time to answer everything on the board. I was so in the zone that I didn’t see director Yang before she dragged me off to ask me questions about the purple haze grass.

“Little brother, are the things you wrote on here true?” She pointed down at the piece of paper that I wrote. I just nodded. “Of course big sister. If you don’t believe me then lets try to beauty bath together.” I directly took out the five herbs needed for the soul force batch and placed it on the table.

Yang Xin’s face became completely red. She then got in my face and told me “Little brother, don’t tease this big sister or you might get eaten up.” Hump, this virgin girl thinks that she can play with me. Well, she’s in for it now. Her cleavage was already in my face so I grabbed her by the hips and pressed her against me while whispering into her ear “Bis sister, from what I know. It’s the man that does the eating.” I then bend my head and ran my tongue down from her neck to her cleavage.

I could see her shiver before she jumped away. Good thing too because that was when Gu Yan and the other two enders came in. “So you are the one that these two have been talking about. I see that you even solved so many of the posted questions on the wall. Good, Good. From now on you are a master alchemist.” I was handed my over sized robes and badge. There was no point in wearing the robes so I just placed them in farm.

“President, I have a business proposition for you. I have re-discovered the formulas for five elixir formulas. They are the Soul Nurturing Pill, Soul Concentrating Pill and Soul Tempering Pill? Scarlet Body Enhancing Pill and Nine Transformation Pill.” Gu Yan and Yang Xin both gasped at my statement.

I am not going to say something stupid like I have a master. Its better to just say that I translated the knowledge. That will keep people from getting any ideas of cutting me out. I took out some paper and wrote down the formulas before handing it over to Gu Yan.

After he took a look he told me "The Alchemist Association is willing to offer fifty percent of the profit.” I countered with thirty percent and the other twenty to help raise new alchemist. We both agreed. “President, can I take a look at the library?” I asked because I wanted to add more to my library of course.

It took less then 5 minutes for me to browse the entire library. Using Nie Li’s knowledge, I headed off the inscriptionist association. It was a surprise when I saw that the present was actually Xue Yin. She is the one that Ye Ziyun calls Aunt Xue and she is in love with Ye Zong. I should take the time to help her at some point and time.

“Hello big sister, I was wondering if there was a test to join the inscriptionist association.” Xue Yin looked up at me and as soon as she saw me she gave me the oh its just a kid look. That was understandable but still annoying. Its not enough to deter me or make me over react though. “Ah yes, the bronze rank test is free. Very rank up from there to Black Gold is 200 DSC.” “I would like to take the black gold rank test then.” I told her.

She just shrugged her shoulders and lead me into a room in the back. I was told to sit at an empty table and she asked me what kind of material I needed. One parchment made from a back gold ranked monster, a vile of black gold rank beast blood with the attribute for snow and wind and a thin brush was all that I request. I didn’t think I would get charged for the material but ouch. She extorted me out of five hundred DSC.

I had already gotten used to a brush based on the muscle memory of the guys I reincarnated as and in just a minute I was done with the ice wind of sword death inscription. This thing will enable the user to summon seven swords that will freeze whatever it stabs into.

After Xue Yin took a look at my inscription, she genially started warming up to me. I guess she gets lots of guys coming over to take the test just to spend time with her or something. I got my bad and after that she explained to me why there was no legend rank test. Well, there’s no material. Everyone is too week to hunt legend rank beast. She also showed me the book of generic orders that the association would always buy off any members and there was also a board of custom orders. For one hundred thousand DSC, I bought the standard materials to inscribe such as parchment, rings, bracelets and necklaces to inscribe. I also got several vials of beast blood.

There’s an idea that I had been having while looking at how inscriptions work. Similar to modern programing but if I must say its more like a computer chip. I want to build a processer that will do things like auto brew pills and inscribe. This is a big project and will take some time.

First off, its starting to get late and I have a waifu in the training grounds to go help. By the time I found her, it was already pitch black outside and she must have been cultivating for a while. This must not be the manga or anime version because she had shoulder length black hair and she as not dressed slutty in a crotch length dress. I mean, who even does that at 13.

Using my new sneak skills, like a ghost I now sat five feet in front of Xiao Ning. She was still cultivating and that was no good but the backlash of forcing her to stop cultivation could cause internal injuries. So I decide to take this time to actually look at my special farm. in spirit form I opened the shop. This time I seriously took a look at the available functions.

What the fuck? Hot springs? Teleport points? I wasted money upgrading the land space. I could have just merged the farm and ranch into a medium sized world? Fuck. Ok. Ok. Lets just buy everything. He-he. Perfect eco system, wood energy, plant manipulation, oh my god. There’s a universal analyzer. that’s basically the same shit as the great sage.

Do I want stars? Yes sir I do. This place was already filled with various energies but there’s a low, medium and high grade cultivation space too? Thank you. What’s this? A mine that creates 10 tons of any metal I bring into the space a day? Isn’t this just self generating money? All beast turns into monstrous beast? Will this make my Pokémon even more over powered? Here we go, Spiritual plants. I wonder if I can get rings off of them. The Douluo Dalu is super dangerous. Its one basically a death world.

Oh shit. I ran out of cash. I only have fifteen thousand left. I wanted to get the small universe. Its ten billion but I guess I will make that amount soon enough. Looks like Xiao Ning’er is ending her cultivation session. As she opened her eyes I placed my hand up in a stop motion.

“When night falls, both of your legs feel as if they’re being burned by fire. Not only do both of your legs feel as if they were being burned by fire, your body would be extremely cold. Every night at midnight it would feel as if it was hailing on your body. It would be terribly painful. Even training your soul force wouldn’t be possible due to the pain.” I waited to see her reaction and the girl was shivering. She looked like she was on the verge of crying.

“In addition to these symptoms, your body should be bruised in certain areas. Those bruises should be extremely painful and not only do they not dissipate, they should also be spreading around the body. You haven’t stepped into 1-star Bronze rank yet, but once you do, in the best case scenario, you will get seriously ill and your cultivation will be greatly reduced. In the worst case scenario, you will die screaming in pain not being able to end your own live even if you wanted to.” That was the last straw and Xiao Ning’er started to sob to herself while trying to hug her own body.

Oh god. I just fucked up. She’s crying now. Awkwardly I got up and started patting her head. “Hey sorry, I should have lead with I know how to cure the artic disease. I just wasn’t sure if you would listen so I wanted to give you some kind of proof.” I just kept on rubbing her head. Head pats are a good thing right. If I remember correctly, in Japan its to keep girls short, in South East Asia it’s a show of affection and in China its to take away their luck.

I’m not sure if it’s a good or bad thing but she calmed down after a while. “There are a few ways to treat the artic disease. You can stop cultivating and live the life of a civilian. After a few years the icy yin in your veins will dissipate on their own. This will take a long time and you will still feel pain every day. The second method is for someone with a large amount of yang to suck out the yin energy and inject you with their yang energy. Over time this will cure you.” I blush at this as I tell her.

Xiao Ning’er looks up at me as if asking for more detail. “Well, you see. When a man loves a women very much they sometimes sleep in the same bed. You don’t need me to say more right?” her tear and snot covered face now was turning bright red. I forget some times that these ancient eras types are educated about sex very early on. Even when I was a kid in my first life, marrying at 12 was not too strange. Of course this was illegal and you couldn’t register but living the life of a married couple in your parents house was normal.

The mood was super awkward and so I just decided to wait it out. Just as I was about to tell her about the Daoyin technique, her eyes seem to burn with determination and I could see on her face that she had come to some kind of resolution. “I, You,” I was now confused. “Nie Ren, will you be willing to be my partner?” if I was drinking something at this moment I would have been able to perform the epic spit in your face scene.

God, this little girl was actually soliciting me for a tumble. Stupid teenaged body. Calm down there general, there’s no need to line up the troops. We aren’t going to war today. Yes she looks willing. Yes her face is less then five inches away. still, this is no good. I am not such a man slut that I am willing to trick this young girl into giving me her body. Even thought it’s a fine ass body.

Awkwardly I told her while trying to stick my butt back further. She would otherwise notice that my little brother had woken up and wanted to play. With a resolute but unwilling heart, I decided to tell her. “Sorry Ning’er, you don’t mind if I call you that right? Anyways, I didn’t get the chance to finish. There’s actually a third method. Someone can use the Daoyin Technique to massage the bruised area and defuse the icy energy. I also know how to use this Daoyin Technique. You will then need to drink Medicine made from combining Golden Striped Grass with Imperial Sky Grass. This must be consumed daily for roughly a month or so. You must also stop cultivating at night until you are cured. In the first place, the cultivation method you are using is not suited for you.”

“Really, can I be cured this easily?” Ning’er seems really happy and excited. “If I start teaching you, it will only take six months to a year before you can perform the Daoyin technique on yourself. So until then, you shouldn’t cultivate.” See seems disappointed when I told her this and it was true. If I taught her normally she would indeed take six months to a year to lean the technique.

Nie Li, however had access to a soul skill called imprinting. This allows someone to transfer knowledge by imbuing their soul force with said knowledge and then donating it to the other party. The soul can store infinite knowledge and so it would only cost one soul force but he never did that for any of his ‘friends’. Yes the self righteous bastard shared some cultivation methods and resources but he never gave away any other knowledge. He basically keep all the good stuff to himself even if he never used it.

I was interrupted from my musings when Ning’er tugged on my pant leg. Fabric rubbing places it shouldn’t is quite stimulating. It always feels better when its coming from someone else. Still, my will was strong and I was able to make eye contact with Ning’er. “You said that you knew the Daoyin Technique. Can you perform it on me?” “This.” I answered her. “Its not that I am unwilling. This thing shouldn’t be done between a man and a women. I will tell you honestly. The Daoyin Technique dissipates the energy in the bruises but this means that pure yin energy will overflow inside of your body. The end result of this is that it will make you all too willing to do the ting between a man and a women. With me in close proximity to you, I do not know if I can hold myself back if such a kind and beautiful woman makes a move on me. Do you now understand?”

I now see that she has come to the realization of her situation. This is no better then her stripping herself and jumping into a mans bed and hopping that she wont be eaten. Even if the man had ED, he would still use everything he had at his disposal to please the woman.

“Nie Ren, I know that I can trust Nie Ren. Even if I am taken advantage of. I am willing.” If a girl says this to me with so much resolution. I guess its time. “Since you have said that much already. I too will put my trust in Ning’er. Come. Take my hand.” I then reach out my hand. She doesn’t even hesitate before grabbing it. Pulling her up to her feet, I open a portal and lead her inside.

I like my farms time to mirror the outside world and so it was already night time when we arrived. I had upgraded my shack into a mansion and we arrived inside of the master bedroom. She was still in a daze and so I picked her up in a bridal carry and gently placed her on the bed. This action brought our faces extremely close and she stared up at me like a scared little rabbit, waiting to get eaten.

Too much teasing without breaks in between will just overload her and so I took this opportunity to blow into her eyes. This shocked her out of her frozen state and she was forced to cover her eyes while blanking rapidly. My laughter caused her to realize that I had been teasing her. I take the few thumps she gives me on my chest as a badge of honor.

Like Saitama, I go into serious mode. “Ning’er, there are some things that I need to tell you.” I wanted to say something like, I am your father but that’s so wrong for so many reasons. “Actually, I am from the future. Kind of.” This is true because I now have Nie Li’s memories. “Eh.” Was all she could squeeze out as she stares at me wide eyed.

I nodded to her. “In the original time line. When you reached one star bronze rank, your artic disease caused you to louse all of your cultivation. Even with that, you start cultivating again from the beginning, getting to silver rank within a year. Your family then decides to sell you off to the sacred family without your consent to that rapist Shen Fei.”

I gave her some time to absorb this before going on. “Your then renounced your family and went to suicide in the Black Devil Forest.” With my hand I cup her face. She had tears in her eyes again. Who in their right mind would want to learn that they would live a life of pain and suffering. “Three years from now. A hard of demon beast destroys Glory City. Almost everyone dies. Us survivors escaped into the endless desert.”

I tried to wipe what seems like an endless stream of tears coming from her. “I was the last survivor. With everyone gone. I came back to the ancestral mountains. I met another survivor of Glory City there. I was so happy that I was not the only one left from Glory City. The two of us started living together. We built a small cabin in the black devil forest. I moved her very much and I knew that she loved me. The only thing was that she always wore a mask and would never let me see her face. This was because she had contracted a disease and had become disfigured. One day, I went hunting and when I got back, the house had been destroyed. I found her body cold and dead.”

It was my turn to shed tears now. Having Nie Li’s memories is the same as having lived that life after all. I then used imprint and gave her a few of the memories of the masked women and how we lived. “Do you know what her name was? She always told me to call her Xiao Ning, but I knew it was you all along. You see, I had promised you that if I had another chance in my next life I would not let you down. in that life, four women loved me and I let all four of them down. in the end, I died without being to save anyone. This Daoyin technique, I even learned this in hopes that I could use it one day to change the fate of someone so that they would not have to suffer like you. Now that you know how pathetic I lived. Do you still plan to put your trust on me?”

What I got was a long and hard hug with Xiao Ning’er sobbing into my chest while telling me over and over again “I trust you.” I don’t know how long that was but at the end we were both completely drained. Even when she let me use the Daoyin technique on her ankle, we were not overcome by lust. When she undid her top to met me massage the bruise on her breast, it was not sexual at all. I spooned her from behind and cupped her breast to use the Daoyin technique on her. When we were done, the both of us fell asleep in that position. I felt content and I had the feeling that she felt the same.
