Lao-Chu: "If it continues this way, it'd be bad for me. I guess I need to do something before it gets worse. The reason why those mercenaries are here is because of that Zheng-Fu kid. If I get rid of the kid, then they'd leave…"

An evil smile was let out from Lao-Chu. His face was full of some ugly thoughts…

.

Kong-Shi: "I have to thank you and your people for helping me with many things in the past months…"

Dan-Chun-Gu: "Don't worry, Elder Kong-Shi. We're willing to do it…"

Dan-Chun-Gu said while joining his palms together. He conversed with Kong-Shi politely. Kong-Shi felt overwhelmed by the help and how the group could be so polite to him even though it had been months with them now. He was not used to this kind of thing…

Yan-Yu: "That's right. It's good for us too to get to do something productive. It's better than not having anything to do…"

Ji-Zhung-Gong: "Not only that. We get to go out and practice our skills too…"

"Yeah!"

Wui-Xiao: "But it is too bad that young master can't join us!"

"Oops!"

Everybody showed their sad facial expressions after hearing that from Wu-Xiao. They had all been waiting for the day that Zheng-Fu would wake up. They waited with utmost intensity. It had been months but the boy had not gained back his consciousness…

Xiao-Jiang had also come to visit Zheng-Fu from time to time. Lei-Tian-Lu came to visit Zheng-Fu as soon as he heard about the news. Zheng-Fu being a sleeping prince had still been the talk of the town…

Xiao-Jiang and Lei-Tian-Lu were famous people. The fact that they came to visit Zheng-Fu prompted everyone to ask the question of how Zheng-Fu knew these two…

A person in the clan 1: "Who else that Zheng-Fu know? The people who come to visit him are famous, especially Lei-Tian-Lu. I heard that he's an alchemy genius from the Lei clan!"

A person in the clan 2: "And there's Miss Xiao-Jiang too. I heard that her Xiao clan is one of the clans that are in the Heavenly Trade Association!"

Anywhere that there were people, Zheng-Fu's story was talked about. It upset Lao-Chu and Dong-Chu tremendously. The father and son had been developing bulging veins on their foreheads…

Dong-Chu: "Darn that Zheng-Fu! It's all because of him…"

Lao-Chu: "Tsk! Just wait and see! He won't only be a sleeping prince, but he'll sleep forever!"

Lao-Chu blurted out loud with rage then released energy out to the ground. It caused a big hole in there…

Dong-Chu was confused to hear what his father said. But even though he did not know what his father meant, he could guess what his father wanted to imply. That was why he let out an evil smile slowly…

Zheng-Fu had been on the first floor of the Tower of Fighting Manuals at Shaolin Monastery for a month. He went out to practice in the morning with the Shaolin monks and came to read fighting manuals until late at night. He did not need to sleep or eat in that dimension…

"These fighting manuals are superb! If I practice according to them, I'll be stronger without having to use the Qi energy at all. If I can use these fighting skills with the Qi energy, the skills would be improved tremendously too." Zheng-Fu said while smiling happily…

Zheng-Fu's Qi energy level had been unimproved for a while because the Qi energy in the dimension was thin. However, his body strength had been improved immensely. It was so progressed that a normal blade could not cut him…

The change also affected the outside of his body. Zheng-Fu's body in the Xianxia world had been covered by golden light…

"I guess it's time to go to the second floor. There should be something interesting there!"

When he finished speaking, he walked to the stairs to go up to the second floor immediately…

Thud!

Boom!

When Zheng-Fu took the first step up the staircase, he felt tremendous pressure on him. It stopped him from going forward. The minute he felt that he delivered his Qi energy to counter that pressure. It made him feel better…

"What's this energy? How come it's so strong?" Zheng-Fu said while crinkling his eyebrows with wonder…

Thud!

Boom!

The second step was harder than the first one. Zheng-Fu had to increase his energy to counter the pressure energy. His face started to get pale with cold sweats all over his forehead…

"Ugh!"

Zheng-Fu could not breathe properly, so he had to breathe in and out harshly. Then he had to step back down to the first floor. Once he was down to the first floor, he no longer felt that pressure…

Zheng-Fu tried to look for the source of the pressure that suppressed him. The pressure energy might come from a magical spell or something, but there was nothing that Zheng-Fu found there. So, what he could do was stare at the stairs with confusion…

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, Zheng-Fu could feel some kind of energy within himself. It made him feel hot and cold at the same time. He felt extremely strange inside…

"Argh!"

Zheng-Fu sat down on the floor while cupping his stomach with utmost agony. He did not only feel hot and cold, but he also felt the pain as if he was stung by hundreds of sharp pins inside his body…

"Wh…wh…what's happening? How come it is so painful!?" Zheng-Fu's face turned red because of the heat. Then it turned pale because of the coldness…

.

.

"Young master!"

Tong-Kuang who was outside of Zheng-Fu's room ran into the room when he heard something. The rest of the group also joined him. When they were in the room, they saw Zheng-Fu twist his body as if he was in extreme pain…

"Wh…wh…what happened!?"

Kong-Shi who was the last to get to the room shouted the question while feeling panic when he saw Zheng-Fu move back and forth in bed. Kong-Shi rushed to his son to try to stop him from moving…

"Whoa!"

Kong-Shi had to let go of Zheng-Fu instantly because he felt tremendous heat from Zheng-Fu's body. It was as if Kong-Shi was burned by hot water…

Tang-Ling: "What's going on, dear husband?"

Tang Ling cried in pain as she saw her husband yell after he touched their son. She started to shed her tears when she saw her son's condition…

Tong-Kuang and the rest did not know what to do. They could not possibly know how to help Zheng-Fu. Tong-Kuang tried to keep Zheng-Fu still but he also had to let go of the boy. But it was the coldness that Tong-Kuang felt instead of heat…

Not far from Zheng-Fu's house, Lao-Chu was standing feeling satisfied to see what happened to Zheng-Fu. There was a young woman next to him. She seemed to be petrified and scared, shaking…

Lao-Chu: "You did great! Here's your reward!"

Lao-Chu said while tossing a bag of money to the young woman before walking away from the scene, leaving behind that scared woman…

"Thank you, sir!"

The young woman: "I'm very sorry young master Zheng-Fu. I didn't have any choice!"

The young woman cried while saying those words. She was Zheng-Fu's family maid. Lao-Chu threatened to hurt her family, so she had to hurt Zheng-Fu…

The reason why Zheng-Fu felt extremely hot and cold at the same time was because of poison. Lao-Chu ordered the young woman to drop the 'Yin-Yang' poison in his mouth. The effect of this poison stirred the balance within Zheng-Fu's inner system…

Anyone who got this poison would feel hot and cold. Then the person would feel the pain at his Qi energy center. The poison then slipped into his energy range to destroy it completely…

However, if anyone could withstand the symptoms, the person would gain from the poison instantaneously. The poison would turn into an elixir. The effect of the elixir was to boost the yin and yang energy in the person. There was a positive chance that the person would be able to unify the yin and yang energy as well…

"Argh!"

Zheng-Fu continued to cup his stomach with utmost pain. His face was completely pale. He felt like he was about to lose his strength. The abdominal pain and his energy range were completely volatile…

Rustle!

Zheng-Fu started to pick up himself and sat down to meditate to control this energy volatility immediately. He started to focus on his inner body and felt the roaring of his yin and yang energy in his energy range…

Whoosh!

"Argh!"

Zheng-Fu projected a big gulp of blood. The fight between his yin and yang energy shook the Tower of Fighting Manuals and the area nearby heavily. The Tower Master who was sweeping the courtyard outside the tower also felt the volatility…

"Wh…wh…what's going on!?"

The Tower Master looked at the tower with curiosity because he could feel the tremendously crazy energy. The shake of the tower prompted everyone in the tower to come out…

"What's happening, Tower Master!?"

As things were getting hectic at the tower, another Shaolin monk sored down to land next to the Tower Master. His appearance got attention from some monks at the scene. They gave respects to that Shaolin monk with utmost modesty…

"Respecting Master Tue-Zhang!"

"Master Tue-Zhang!?"

The Master of the Tower of Fighting Manuals was startled to see Master Tue-Zhang. When he got back to himself, he raised his hands and bowed to show respect to the Master. The tower Master then said…

The Tower Master: "Master Tue-Zhang! I have no idea what's going on inside the tower. It all of a sudden started to shake."

Master Tue-Zhang: "Amida Buddha! Could it be someone breaking in?"

"Breaking in!?"

When everyone heard that, they all got to the prepared position to fight…

The Tower Master: "It's impossible! I've been here all the time and seen no one suspicious going in!"

The Tower Master quickly replied to Master Tue-Zhang. He had been in front of the tower the whole time. He did not see anyone strange entering the tower. The Tower Master would have known if someone was breaking in, but then…

"Or was it that…!?"

Master Tue-Zhang and the rest turned to look at the Tower Master with curiosity because he seemed to have some idea of what caused the shake of the tower. They all waited to hear what the tower Master was about to say…

Master Tue-Zhang: "You have some ideas about what happened, Tower Master?"

The Tower Master: "I'm not sure, but there was something strange about a month ago. I did not think I should mention it to you because it was hard to explain…"

"Something hard to explain!?"

Master Tue-Zhang started to be curious, so he asked…

Master Tue-Zhang: "What is it?"

The Tower Master was mumbling for a second. He did not see how he could talk about what he experienced about a month ago because he was an elder of the tower. However, after being reluctant for a while, he started to say it. After all, strange things did happen…
