Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Sheng returned to the small wooden hut. So many things had happened in the span of one day. If not for the bottle of fruit wine in his hand, he might have dismissed all these events as just a dream.

He’d seen a fox spirit bathing. Third Madam had appeared again after having disappeared for more than a decade. He had learned of a plan to burn enough incense to bring someone back to life. Assassins sent by Hu Mei and Ye Qing had tried to kill him. And he had met the number nine publicly acknowledged Fox Immortal Bai Yutian.

All of this that he had gone through had really helped give Ye Sheng a clearer picture of what the world of Great Qin was really like.

If one’s martial arts level reached the peak, you could be recognized as an immortal. And all those legends and superstitious tales about demons in human form, gathering fragments of spirits, and reviving people had all made an appearance.

Everything was possible in this world.

“I, myself, have incredible skill as well. As long as I can manage to get out of Ye Manor, I will definitely be able to soar to great heights.” Ye Sheng was quite accurate in his self-assessment.

He had the extremely rare Reincarnation Seal, and this technique had already reached Beginner level. As his cultivation levels went up, he would slowly increase in strength as well. He’d decided he’d had to remain in Ye Manor partly because he wanted to take back the remaining manuals of his mother’s that were with First Madam.

First Madam had taken five manuals from his mother, one of which had been passed to Water Chestnut Flower. However, First Madam still had four more. These four manuals definitely contained extremely rare techniques passed down in the Reincarnation Sect, and Ye Sheng was determined to get them back by hook or by crook.

“My mother was the Sacred Lady of the Reincarnation Sect, so it’s only natural for me to inherit the techniques of the Reincarnation Sect.” These were Ye Sheng’s thoughts as he sat in the little wooden hut.

He was still feeling a lot of pain in his body, so he opened the bottle of fruit wine. The fragrance of the fruit wafted out mixed with the smell of wine, which soothed his heart and mind.

Ye Sheng took several gulps. The wine was as sweet as candy, and it filled his mouth with its sweetness.

After drinking the wine, he felt his abdomen become warm. Then the warmth started flowing out from his stomach area into the rest of his body.

He felt as though he was soaking in a hot spring, and all the tiredness in his body disappeared. He felt so comfortable.

Ye Sheng’s eyes opened wide. He looked at the fruit wine with much joy. As expected, a gift from the Ninth Great Immortal was really good stuff.

The warmth enveloped Ye Sheng, and soon all the aches, swelling, and searing pain disappeared. The wine even helped to circulate Ye Sheng’s Qi and kept increasing it.

This fruit wine was not only good for helping the body recover, it also helped in increasing one’s abilities.

Ye Sheng stood up with a start and began to practice his techniques.

Rolling Rocks Boxing Technique! Fallen Leaves Sword Technique! Typhoon Steps!

These three basic techniques were displayed to their greatest power by Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng was able to cast the Molting Spell very naturally as well. He kept changing his aura, and, for one moment, he was a farmer; the next, a scholar, and the next a butcher.

At the very end of his practicing, Ye Sheng activated the Reincarnation Seal and stretched out his palm to deliver a blow.

KEBABOOM!

The entire wooden hut collapsed with a loud blast, and the ground beneath it sank and became a huge crater. Dust flew everywhere, and the impact was quite shocking.

Ye Sheng was pleasantly surprised as he looked at the destruction before him. “I’m only at the Learnt level, and this first Reincarnation Seal hasn’t even fully solidified yet, and it’s already so powerful...?”

The first Reincarnation Seal inside his dantian was still an illusory shadow and didn’t seem very real, but after it was activated, it turned out to be terrifyingly powerful. If it finally solidified and he actually put nine of them together, then couldn’t one attack destroy an entire city?

BOOM!

Just as Ye Sheng was finishing all this, his dantian shook slightly. He was now at Acquired Level Third Stage.

A few mouthfuls of the fruit wine had had such an effect. Ye Sheng started to drink it more sparingly, but, after looking into the bottle, he realized that there wasn’t much left anyway. All he had left was about two mouthfuls.

“It’s time to return, and continue being the good son I am.” Ye Sheng saw that it was going to be evening soon. Anyway, the wooden hut had been destroyed.

He put away the fruit wine, knelt before his mother’s grave, and said, “Mother, I need to return to the manor now. Don’t worry, I will definitely get those Reincarnation Sect manuals back. At the moment, I have already learned the Reincarnation Seal, so your soul may rest in peace.”

In the evening, Ye Sheng went down the mountain by himself. He no longer felt any pain in his body, and he was filled with energy.

After he reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Sheng cast the Molting Spell on himself and went back to being the way he used to be. He became inconspicuous, a little afraid of people, and possessed of a personality that preferred to be alone.

This was about what everyone’s impression of Ye Sheng was. He normally never said anything or tried to interact with anyone else. If he didn’t have to go outside, he would just lock himself up inside his little courtyard all day long.

There was a proper, complete road from Xishan to Xianyang. It was properly paved and wide enough for five horses to ride side by side without any issues.

Great Qin had become very affluent over the past decade, so after the second Emperor of Qin had ascended the throne, he went around the country paving roads, planning waterways, encouraging commerce and trading, and collecting taxes. Merchants from Great Qin were famous, and the top ten trading groups were known everywhere.

Ye Shen continued walking along this road and hurried toward Xianyang to arrive before sunset.

Just at that moment, a group of people on horses suddenly came riding up from behind him with great fanfare. The leader of the pack was actually a woman, and she waved her horsewhip around as she shouted, “Everyone on the road, move aside, don’t get in our way!”

Several other pedestrians who were walking along just like Ye Sheng quickly moved off the road in order to avoid these people.

Ye Sheng himself took several steps back, and he turned to look at who was coming toward him.

He saw someone familiar among them.

He knew the woman who was leading the pack. It was his Third Sister, Lord Ye’s eighth child.

Lord Ye had had more than a dozen children, of which Eldest Sister was naturally the very first one. There was even a rumor going round the manor about how Lord Ye had had Eldest Sister before he was even married and indulged her greatly. So before marrying First Madam, he’d asked for Eldest Sister’s opinion first. If Eldest Sister hadn’t liked her, then Lord Ye wouldn’t have married First Madam. In order to be accepted, First Madam kept trying hard to gain Eldest Sister’s favor, and eventually Eldest Sister gave in and agreed to the marriage. That explained why despite being in control of everything inside the manor, First Madam didn’t dare to speak loudly in front of Eldest Sister.

As for Second Sister, she was Lord Ye’s fifth child. Her mother never moved into the manor, and very few people knew who she even was. Second Sister had lived in Ye Manor for a year, then she had left with an old Taoist priest and never come back. She would send a letter home once a year.

The last older sister he had was this Third Sister, a daughter of First Madam and the eighth child to Lord Ye. But everyone called her Third Sister anyway, because she was very good at buttering up the Old Lady, and she had the protection of First Madam so she could do whatever she wanted in the house. She liked playing around with sabers and spears, but her cultivation level was very poor, and she was often chided by Lord Ye.

Ye Sheng had been transmigrated for several days now, but he had never seen this Third Sister in the manor before. He was surprised that their first meeting would be in this place.

Third Sister rode on a horse and waved her horsewhip around. Behind her were seven or eight young men in elegant and embroidered clothing, and all of them were high-spirited.

Third Sister didn’t notice Ye Sheng and just rode her horse right past him, causing a strong wind to rush past him. She didn’t care for commoners and didn’t even look at him.

The others behind her also just rode past Ye Sheng, but the last person in the group quietly stuck a foot out to kick Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng’s gaze froze. He noticed the smile on the person’s face, and it was obvious that he had done it on purpose. He was trying to kick a commoner to make himself look more powerful.

“You’re asking for it.” Ye Sheng immediately activated the power of his Reincarnation Seal, pretended to have been kicked hard enough to fall, and sent the seal out from his palm toward the horse as he fell to the ground.

BAM!

The power of the Reincarnation Seal along with Ye Sheng’s own body strength totaled around 2,000 units. Ye Sheng had made a secret attack from behind, so how could the horse possibly block it?

NEIGHH! OWW!

The horse felt the pain, and, after taking a few more steps, it stumbled and fell to the ground. The young man who was trying to act cool on the horse ended up falling and landing in a pile of feces.
