Chapter 4 – The Nine Fundamental Transformation Cultivation Sutra

“Yes. The next hour, Master just needs to lie down still. I will guide the Divine Nine Revolution Foundation Building Pill to repair Master’s meridians and hidden injuries.” Bei Ming immediately instructed.

Ye Ming laid down on the flat stone honestly, waiting for Bei Ming’s guidance.

Driven by Bei Ming, the nine divine magical lights surrounding the golden humanoid sparkled, and the shadow in the first divine light suddenly unleashed a force of vitality.

Ye Ming immediately felt a full force of vitality surging through his meridians, making his meridians numb and itchy. After more than an hour, he felt ethereal and invigorated.

His heart jumped in a split second, knowing that his meridians were completely healed!

Sure enough, Bei Ming confirmed at the same time: “The destruction of Master’s meridians is not that irreparable and has now been repaired.”

Ye Ming was deliriously happy. The big rock weighing heavily on his heart finally fell to the ground as he laughed saying: “Alright, that’s great! I can finally cultivate again! Ye Zhenying, just wait for me, I’ll certainly treat you beautifully!”

“Next, I will continue healing Master’s hidden injuries. These hidden injuries are lurking in the lungs and bones, and should be caused by the accumulation of the wind and the cold.” Bei Ming continued to stimulate the vitality power to heal his injuries.

Ye Ming nodded repeatedly: “Bei Ming, you are amazing. In order to boost my strength, I have been refining my body with icy water in the river. These hidden injuries should have piled up during refining.”

Bei Ming: “If the method is right, icy water cultivation is not only harmless, but would also be of great benefit. Master just had no choice.”

After another hour, Ye Ming’s hidden injuries disappeared, and his body was extremely relaxed.

Bei Ming spoke again: “Master can now practice the Nine Pei Yuan Sutra.” The moment her words fell, techniques in practicing the nine Pei Yuan cultivation poured into Ye Ming’s mind.

Supplementary basic work method, also known as stage work method, is a supplementary work method in a certain martial arts stage to assist molding spiritual development. As Bei Ming has told Ye Ming, the Nine Zhuan Pei Yuan Sutra is only effective when practiced from the onset of cultivation. He has to practice the nine techniques of transformations, which are extremely difficult and complex.

With the sutra now imprinted in his mind, Ye Ming asked, “Bei Ming, what’s the use of each of these techniques?”

Bei Ming replied: “The Nine Zhuan Pei Yuan and the Divine Nine Revolution Foundation Building Pill complement each other. They are the nine techniques studied by the heavenly ancestors from ancient gods and demons, and which have taken milleniums to formulate. Practicing this method earns you the willpower to communicate with the Nine Demon Gods in the underworld, where you could benefit enormously.”

“The willpower to communicate with Demon Gods?” Ye Ming was aghast.

Bei Ming continued: “The Great Heavenly Ancestors had once sealed a contract with the Nine Demon Gods. Anyone can practice these nine techniques, as long as they have received the blessings of a demon god. This also led the practicing of the Nine Zhuan Pei Yuan extremely difficult. From what I have gathered from Ji Tianpeng’s memory, even a genius in the Heavenly Earth, who is equipped with all kinds of divine treasures and infinite resources, has a success rate of only 3%.

This discouraging information actually ignited Ye Ming’s morale. He interjected, “Okay! I will start practicing the Nine Pei Yuan now. I’d like to see if I can cultivate successfully despite my qualifications!”

Before his words fell, a golden humanoid shadow emerged in his mind. The humanoid shadow with no clear face nodded to Ye Ming and said, “Next, I will teach Master the first form of the Nine Zhuan Pei Yuan.”

Then he slowly made a move, both hands formed a seal, and both his feet stood perpendicularly pointing straight ahead, then he loosened every muscle in his body speedily, perhaps to relax every cell of tense muscle.

Ye Ming immediately followed suit. He felt that every move was indeed extremely complicated and theoretically speaking, he would have found it impossible to learn. Oddly, however, an intense ray of light from the Divine Nine Revolutions pill flashed, and a demon spiritual shadow inside immediately unleashed another kind of power. Under the influence of this power, he succeeded in practicing within only half an hour. At the last instance, he only felt that an invisible mysterious force between the heavens and earth had penetrated his body.

“Huh?” Ye Ming was thrown into a tizzy. That power was constantly cleansing his body and boosting his potential. Even strength, reaction speed and even wisdom had increased tremendously.

“I actually succeeded!” Ye Ming was over the moon and couldn’t help cheering.

Hence, with the aid of the Divine Pill,  Ye Ming spent only one night and learned the nine techniques.

With the nine mysterious forces, he felt as if the tens of thousands of pores throughout his body were rejoicing. Every cell, every muscle, every inch of bone in his body morphed and were purified.

“These basic stage work methods are indeed worthy creations of the Heavenly Ancestors. How magical!” Ye Ming’s eyes were bright and his confidence increased greatly.

It was already broad daylight. This barren mountain wasn’t a suitable place for a long stay, so he immediately descended the mountain and returned to the Ye Family mansion.

Back in Shanshui Town, he saw a teenager standing in the courtyard, the moment he opened the door to his abode. The boy is slender, wearing a blue brocade, with thin lips and thin eyebrows, and blessed with good looks, but his eyes are nothing but arrogant. Hearing the opening of the door, he turned to stare at Ye Ming.

Rage immediately gripped Ye Ming’s heart. This young man is the one who framed him, the grandson of the patriarch from his eldest son, Ye Zhenying! Yesterday, he just taught Hu Saner a lesson, his slave. He must have come to get back at him.

“Was it you?” His eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the young man who stopped by the door.

Ye Zhenying examined Ye Ming from head to toe contemptuously and continued, “I heard Zhenxiong saying that you have been running to the edge of the Li River these days. This time, are you trying to cultivate in icy water? What, why are you so desperate boosting your strength, don’t tell me it’s because you are after revenge?”

Ye Ming remained calm, even with the person he hates the most in front of him. He returned coldly, “Icy water body cultivate, this won’t let me live past twenty, so what are you worried about?”

“That’s true,” Ye Zhenying sneered, “There is nothing you can do come to think of it. You are now a waste with no resources. What else can you do beside this method? But…”

His tone turned icy as he stared daggers at Ye Ming, “You dare turn hostile towards this young master, even if you’re a waste, you still must be taught a lesson!”

After that, he suddenly moved. His legs arched like a bow, his body vaulted in a flash and flitted through the air, then landed in front of Ye Ming like a phantom, slamming his right palm against Ye Ming’s chest.

Ye Ming only felt a gust of wind assaulting his face and scraping his cheeks with a tearing pain. Too fast! He had no time to react at all. Soon after, the pain shifted to his chest, he only heard a ‘crack’ and at least three of his ribs were left broken.

He flopped to the ground like a torn kite. His lungs were punctured and he spewed up a mouthful of blood, spilling it across the ground.

Ye Zhenying is an outstanding fourth grade martial arts warrior. He has abundant vitality from head to toe, his strength is tyrannical, and his attacks aren’t something that fledgling martial arts cultivators can ward off!

As if afraid of getting his hands dirty, Ye Zhenying fished a white silk handkerchief from his sleeves and wiped his hand, and dropped it to the ground. He warned coldly, “Little bastard, listen very well. Your parents were sinners of the Ye Family, so are you. Do you understand? Furthermore, Hu Saner is my slave, how dare you beat him? I hope you’ve learned your lesson well today. Behave yourself!”

He derided and then there’s more, “In addition, Miss Hanyu from Uncle Wu’s family will be visiting the Ye Mansion in a few days. Don’t think highly of yourself and go harassing her when she arrives, understand?”

Ye Ming froze. Of course he knows who Wu Hanyu is. Her father Wu Shihao and his father Ye Zihui were once sworn brothers with different surnames. Moreover, they both agreed on engaging their children when they have kids. Wu Hanyu, the daughter of Wu Shihao, was supposed to be Ye Ming’s bride.

However, since the death of Ye Zihui, the two sides have never met any further, let alone take care of the childhood engagement. As his righteous father, even in the worst years of Ye Ming, Wu Shihao never visited the Ye Family to check on him. Obviously, the Wu family intentionally downplayed the fact that the two parties had set a “childhood betrothal.”

Of course, Ye Ming has never cared about that so-called childhood betrothal. If Ye Zhenying hadn’t reminded him of this today, he would have even forgotten the Wu Family.

“I have nothing to do with her.” Ye Ming replied softly, telling nothing but the truth.

Ye Zhenying nodded and scoffed, “You do have some sense of self-awareness! Miss Hanyu is highly talented and also a disciple of the Red Sun Sect. A garbage like you is not worthy of her. I have asked my father to send betrothal gifts to the Wu family so that Miss Wu can marry me instead of marrying such a waste.”

Ye Ming said nothing and merely snickered. What Miss Wu, he doesn’t care at all. It’s the insults that the Ye family rained on him, one by one, that he kept deep in his heart. One day, he will settle the core ten times more!

Ye Zhenying was extremely displeased with Ye Ming’s response,  and frowned, “”What? Are you not convinced? Even if you hate me again and wish you could get back at me, what else can you do? A rubbish like you is simply no threat to me. Haha, thank you so much for your red dragon grass. I traded it for a lot of refining pills, and now, I’m half a step to the fifth level of martial arts.”

With that said, he grinned suddenly and said strangely, “In a few months, the Red Sun Sect should come to the Ye Family to pick some disciples. You’re refining your body at all costs, is it because you wanted to participate? Sadly, with your strength, there is no chance at all. Even if you do participate, you’ll only serve as a sandbag!”

After humiliating Ye Ming, Ye Zhenying laughed proudly and then walked away.

Ye Ming glared at his back and vowed, “Ye Zhenying, just wait, I will give you a big surprise soon!” Sitting on the three great treasures of the Heavenly Earth, he is confident that he will surpass him in a short time!

At this moment, Bei Ming manipulated the vitality power to his wounds, and he recovered quickly.

Back in the cottage, Ye Ming’s stomach was rumbling. He muttered helplessly, “There is no rice in the house. It seems that I have to go out to eat again.”

Bei Ming deterred: “Master is in the early stages of cultivation. It is best not to eat ordinary food in the near future. Ordinary food will cause impurities in your body, which is not conducive to the period of cultivation of your foundation.”

Ye Ming was upset: “Do not eat ordinary food? So what do I eat?”

“Beastly demon flesh.” Bei Ming replied.

Ye Ming rolled his eyes, he can’t even afford rice, but  now Bei Ming is telling him to feed on demon flesh! He knows something about ‘beast demons.’ Some beasts, under certain circumstances, are capable of following the same path of self-cultivation like humans. Once their wisdom is turned into a spirit, the spirit will turn into a demon. A beastly demon’s might is absolutely deadly, and an ordinary martial arts practitioner is no match at all. The worst fact is that beasts are cruel by nature, and eight out of ten would likely eat people. Therefore, the risk of catching beasts is extremely high, so the meat of beasts is naturally exorbitant. Even Ye Wansheng, the master of the Ye family, can’t afford it, and even if he could, at most, it would only be during the New Year.

Bei Ming proposed: “If there is no beastly demon meat, then just drink water. The divine pill can let Master stay alive without eating for two or three months. It’s just that, hunger strikes are very uncomfortable. I wonder if Master can afford it?”

“Just don’t eat,” Ye Ming said flatly. “It’s not a big deal, then don’t eat.”
