Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1072 – I did it

In the next three days, this small fishing boat became An Zheng’s resting place. Every day, he would repeat one thing, and that was to go to Azure Wisdom Sect’s kitchen to wash the dishes. That strange person seemed to have an unfathomable obsession with cleanliness, or perhaps this was used to torture An Zheng for pleasure.

If An Zheng had only gone to wash the dishes, he might not have attracted the attention of the Azure Wisdom Sect, but An Zheng was definitely not an honest man.

Every time he went to the kitchen of the Azure Wisdom Sect, An Zheng would do some bad things. He either drugged the water jar or poisoned the rice. These methods that An Zheng had looked down upon before were now being used with absolutely no conscience at all.

Killing the wicked is doing good.

It waity, although the Azure Wisdom Sect was not a big sect, Sect Master Li Qingfeng’s strength was in the Lesser Saint Realm, and was much higher than An Zheng’s. Whether it was poison or poison, it was completely meaningless to Li Qingfeng.

The middle-aged man had the same cold and indifferent attitude as before, but he was torturing An Zheng with many different kinds of torture. For the sake of obtaining information from the Xiao Liu’er, An Zheng had endured everything.

After eating lunch, An Zheng could not help but look at that guy with grief in his eyes: “With your strength, even if you don’t eat for your entire life, you would still be fine. Why are you so punctual for three meals a day?”

The middle-aged man looked at An Zheng, and spoke sincerely: “Eating is one of the most basic rights bestowed by the heavens. If you even give up on eating, what’s the point of being a person?”

An Zheng: “But why do I feel like you want me to go to the Azure Wisdom Sect’s back kitchen and wash the dishes for you?”

The middle-aged man had an expression that suggested he deserved a beating. “You can refuse.”

Just as An Zheng was about to say something, he gestured at An Zheng to shut his mouth and said, “I’m not begging you, you can leave at any time. “You have other ways to find out where your pretty girl is. You insisted on following me.”

An Zheng’s expression changed, “Just what do you know? I didn’t tell you whether my friend was a man or a woman.”

The middle-aged man said, “Looking at your lustful face, I know you’re not a man.”

An Zheng: “There’s a man.”

The middle-aged man said, “Oh, you have quite a wide range of interests.”

An Zheng: “If I can beat you …”

The middle aged man snapped his fingers, and An Zheng was immediately electrocuted to the point of being inexperienced.

“Go wash the dishes, then come back and squat at the bow of the boat for six hours.”

“Squatting?”

“Immediately.”

An Zheng sighed, holding the two bowls, he ran back and forth for at leasundred miles. However, An Zheng realized that the change in these three days was just too huge. An Zheng could feel that his increase in speed could simply be described by the word “leap”. Although the ‘wordless’ cultivation technique looked crude, once one started, the more they practiced it, the more they found it mysterious.

Ever since he returned from Azure Wisdom Sect, An Zheng had been running in the horse squatting position. He didn’t know what was the point of it, but An Zheng knew that this guy was helping him. He did not know the other party’s identity, nor did he know his background, but from what he had seen, although his every action was hateful, it was extremely helpful to An Zheng. Therefore, even if An Zheng did not understand why he had to do the horse stance, he still followed suit and did not move for six hours.

The middle-aged man took an afternoon nap as if he was still dreaming. In his dreams, he kept singing a strange tune, coming back and forth with just a few lines.

“I once dreamed of walking across the world with a sword, but now, I just want to return home …”

Six hours of horse stance was nothing to An Zheng, but the time was a bit hard to bear, so he started to continuously recall the images on the wordless technique in his mind. After that, he thought of an ingenious method, which was to increase his speed on purpose, as well as to control the flow of his Qi when he was running, as well as the circulation of his blood. This way, he could cultivate the wordless technique.

Immersed in cultivation, six hours passed quickly. As for that fellow, it was as if a clockwork man had woken up after sleeping for six hours. He rubbed his eyes and raised his head to look at the sky.

“I’m not dead yet?”

He suddenly frowned and said these two words in a rather disappointed manner.

An Zheng: “There iiver in front of you. If you don’t circulate your energy, jumping down would only take a few minutes.”

The man said with a strange tone, “Do you think I’ve never tried it?”

An Zheng was stunned: “Are you crazy? You even tried this before.”

The middle-aged man stood up and moved around. “I’ve tried so many things, so many that you can’t even imagine it.”

An Zheng could faintly feel a hint of sadness from the way he spoke, as well aint of sadness. The atmosphere had also become stifling, so An Zheng decided to change the topic and ease the tension: “Senior, why do you want me to walk on horseback for six hours?”

“What do you think?”

“Senior, you want me to cultivate in peace, right? I can feel senior’s good intentions.”

“Hehe …”

“What does Senior mean?”

“You call me senior? Forget it, if you are willing to call me Master, I will give yoeerless cultivation technique. ”

“I have a master.”

An Zheng answered cleanly: “With a master, I can’t acknowledge anyone else as my master anymore.”

Maybe Chen Xiaoyao could not really be considered a qualified master, but in the martial arts world, as long as he recognized a master, it would be a lifetime’s worth of work. Having a master to acknowledge someone else as his master was tantamount to betraying the sect. It was a great injustice. Deep down, An Zheng was noerson who followed the rules, but there were some things that needed to be done to the bottom line, he would never even think about it.

“Your master? What can your master give you? ”

“Then he’s also my master.”

“Forget it, let’s talk about the horse stance.”

The middle-aged man glanced at An Zheng: “You’re thinking too much. The reason I asked you to ride on horses is because I’m afraid that you’ll disturb my sleep.”

An Zheng: “...”

The middle-aged man looked at the sky, then pointed at the river. “Jump in.”

“Why?”

“When you are at the bottom of the river, keeping your zhenqi running, I will tell you where that pretty girl is whenever you can do that.”

“I hope senior will keep his word.”

An Zheng jumped into the water with a ‘bang’, pressing his body down into the water. The river did not seem to be very wide, and the river surface was only a few tens of meters wide. did not expect it to be this deep, and only after sinking sixty to seventy meters did he finally reach the bottom, where he knew that he had been tricked.

At such a deep depth, the water pressure was too great for a normal person to bear. With An Zheng’s strength, it would not broblem even if he were to sink deeper into the water while under closed breath, but the problem was that he could not circulate the Innate Qi in his body while he was under closed breath. Breathing was the most basic method of cultivation. If one wanted true energy to circulate, they had to breathe. This was a very contradictory matter.

After going back to sleep for an hour, An Zheng was unable to fulfill the middle-aged man’s request. But An Zheng was not willing to admit defeat so quickly. It was not An Zheng’s style.

If he held his breath and didn’t move, then his true qi wouldn’t move. If it was true, there would definitely be breathing.

An Zheng’s mind raced, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t think of a solution to the problem. The so-called cultivation of a cultivator was not only linked to a certain cultivation technique. Breathing and breathing required a certain amount of time. The replenishment of the Cultivation Power ensured that the zhenqi in his body flowed smoothly, and he had to breathe.

What if he didn’t use his nose to breathe?

An Zheng started to think again and then tried to use all of the pores on his body to replace the breathing on his nose. There was no problem with their thoughts, but it was as difficult to implement them as ascending to the heavens. There was no connection between pores and the lungs. If one wanted to use pores to breathe, then one must forcibly open up many Qi channels to connect to the lungs. This was equivalent to forcing one’s body to change.

The structure of a person’s body was fixed and unchanging. The stronger the cultivation, the more Qi channels they had. There was no such thing as forcefully developing new Qi channels in the body.

However, An Zheng waerson that was unwilling to give up easily. Once he found a direction, he would plunge into it, and think of a way to resolve this issue even if he had to tear off his scalp.

On the boat, the middle-aged man looked at the bubbling water and shook his head. “My foundation is too weak. It’s so weak that I want to give up.”

He suddenly waved his hand, and An Zheng, who was underwater, felt his body shake violently. The Blood Pearl that was unable to be removed from his wrist immediately flew out, and following after it was the Reverse Scale Armor that had left his body. All of his magic tools were sucked up, and then he heard that guy’s voice coming down from the surface of the water.

“It’s meaningless for you to bring these things. With your current strength, using these things would be a blasphemy. I’ll keep these for you. When did I think you were qualified to use these magic tools? I’ll return them to you. For a cultivator, if they carry too many top-grade magic tools with them, they will naturally become dependent on them. This is how you are … If you wish to find out the whereabouts of your friend, you will meet my requirements. ”

When his voice fell to the end, An Zheng silently chanted a hundred lines of ‘F * ck!’ in his heart.

The middle-aged man looked at the bubbles that were still bubbling. He suddenly snapped his fingers, and the water began to boil. Purple lightning long dragons surged in the water, and soon, the temperature of the water reached a boiling point.

An Zheng felt like his skin was about to explode.

He had been trying everything he could think of to rely on his pores to breathe. At this moment, purple lightning was crisscrossing the water and his skin was about to split open. How could he calm down and think about how to use his pores to breathe?

The middle-aged man sitting on the deck said to himself, “I don’t treat you well right now, you might think that I’m targeting you and purposely torturing you. Actually … “You’re right, I just want to torture you.”

He shrugged his shoulders, inspected the space around An Zheng’s Blood Pearl Bracelet and was immediately overjoyed.

“So much stock.”

His hands could not stop shaking. The wine, food, and all kinds of delicious food had fallen out. That was a Blood Pearl Bracelet, with blood ties with An Zheng. Other than An Zheng, there had never been someone who could take out the things in the Blood Pearl’s space so unreasonably. This was a blatant robbery, and he did not even bother to follow the rules.

The middle-aged man roasted meat with An Zheng’s ingredients, drank wine, and even ate a snack, feeling satisfied. He looked at the bubbles that were still popping up and lay down to sleep again.

As he turned over, he took out an hourglass and placed it on the deck. It would take a full 24 hours for the hourglass to run out.

He was certain that with An Zheng’s current posture and cultivation level, he would need at least twelve hours to attempt it. He would need at least thirty-six hours to open a new meridian in his body, and at least forty-eight hours to replace the pores on his nose and mouth.

So he planned to sleep for forty-six hours. Sleep was the best way for him to pass the time.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes. In the next second, An Zheng flew out of the water and landed on the deck with a loud bang.

“I did it. Tell me where they are!”

When he said this, he was like a wild beast.

The middle-aged man looked at the hourglass. Just now, it was missing by about two-thirds, and in less than eight hours, An Zheng had managed to do it.
