Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son - Chapter 7

Li Tianyan didn’t feel well when he returned to the room. Although the dirt on his body had been washed away, the bedding on the bed and the room’s smell were still unbearable to him.

If he had known this, he shouldn’t have arranged for Cheng Qi sleeping in the side room. At least it would be better with him in the same room, but now he couldn’t let Cheng Qi move back again out of blue. Thinking of this, Li Tianyan felt heavy. He sighed, finally understanding what it meant to suffer for oneself.

Since he couldn’t sleep, Li Tianyan sat on the couch in the room and checked the things in the Qiankun Realm. When he first came here, he couldn’t sense the existence of the Qiankun Realm at all, thinking it had disappeared under the thunder.

It wasn’t until he successfully introduced Qi into his body that Li Tianyan realized that the Qiankun Realm was sealed in his sea of ​​consciousness. However, his current cultivation level was still shallow, and he couldn’t completely unseal it. Not to mention he couldn’t even take out most of the things inside after entering the Qiankun Realm. He could only reluctantly collect some objects with low spiritual power.

It was rumored that ancient cultivators could open up an independent world when they become powerful. The Qiankun Realm was obtained by Li Tianyan when he explored the tomb of ancient cultivators. The original owner of the tomb was a cultivator with five spiritual roots, and the Five Elements Technique was also obtained from this tomb.

When he saw the inheritance of the Five Elements Technique for the first time, he felt that it was extremely profound and could at least reach the immortal level. Unfortunately, at that time, he had a single spiritual root of the fire attribute and could not practice this technique. He did not expect that he would be reincarnated in such a coincidence on a person with five spiritual roots.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyan had a piece of clear white jade in his hand. The jade quickly changed in his hand, and several different colors gradually spread from the edge until the whole piece of jade was covered by five colors of the same size. Then it came to a standstill.

Seeing this result, Li Tianyan understood clearly that although the Five Elements Teachnique could be called the gospel for those with mixed spiritual roots, not all five spiritual roots could be practiced. On the contrary, the Five Elements Technique had very high requirements on spiritual roots. The size of the roots must be consistent without any deviation, and secondly, they must all be powerful spiritual roots.

The probability of all five spiritual roots had the same thickness was lower than of a single spiritual root. Therefore, when Li Tianyan was running the Five Elements Technique, he just had the idea of trying anything to make a due. He did not expect that he would actually make it by mistake.

.

After confirming that his spiritual roots were indeed suitable for practicing the Five Elements Technique, Li Tianyan carefully took stock of the resources he could use. After rummaging for a long time, there were only a few wooden boxes on the table.

There were two boxes of broken spirit stones, several hundred-year-old medicinal pills, a stack of yellow-level talismans, and several low-level treasures. These were what he had planned to use as rewards for juniors or servants before. Unexpectedly, now he actually put them to use.

As for the high-level magic weapons, ten-thousand-year spiritual grass, and heavenly-level medicinal pills he had collected, they were still blocked in the Qiankun Realm for the time being. The only consolation was even if they were taken out, he couldn’t use them with his current strength.

Li Tianyan propped up his chin and looked at the few simple items on the table with despair, feeling that he was now sitting on the treasure mountain but could only eat steamed buns.

However, this was not the time to dwell on these things. The top priority was to find a way to refine this body. Li Tianyan clearly felt that the muscles and bones of this body were very fragile. Now that he had reach the first level of Qi Condensation, he still didn’t feel much power. If he did not improve his cultivation in the future, it could be restricted.

It seemed tomorrow he could go to the Li Mansion’s Training Pavilion to have a look. There were no other body-refining techniques in Hengwu Continent, but they were had techniques suitable for laying the foundation. If the medicinal pills were paired with the appropriate body-refining techniques, it should be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

After thinking about it, Li Tianyan crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and continued to practice the Five Elements Technique.

.

Xiao Liu noticed Cheng Qi was busy scrubbing something and working non-stop since early morning. Curious, he went over to check, “Why is it so dirty? I’ll wash them. The young madam can go and have a rest.”

“No, no, I can wash it myself,” Cheng Qi shook his head, rejecting Xiao Liu’s proposal. Last night, he promised Brother Tianyan that he would help wash his clothes.

Xiao Liu couldn’t help but snicker when he saw the small hands struggling with the young master’s clothes. However, Cheng Qi insisted on washing them, and Xiao Liu wisely chose not to compete.

.

Li Tianyan, coming out of the room, witnessed the scene. Seeing the little shuanger squatting on the ground, earnestly rubbing the clothes, he couldn’t help but find it amusing. Cheng Qi was truly a living treasure.

“Young master, you seem to be in good spirits. Are you going out?” Li Wu, rubbing his sore shoulders, walked to Li Tianyan and asked.

Yesterday, the young master appeared weak as if recovering from a serious illness. Why did he seem like a different person today? But he was the one feeling uncomfortable after sleeping on the floor all night.

Cheng Qi and Xiao Liu both looked over when they heard Li Wu’s voice. Today, they noticed that Li Tianyan seemed genuinely different, even his skin appearing improved. Could it be, the lake water has magical effects? Cheng Qi regretted not taking a dip last night.

“I’ll go out for a while. Change all the bedding on my bed and clean the room again,” Li Tianyan ordered Li Wu.

“Yes, young master, please go slowly,” Li Wu agreed.

After sending Li Tianyan away, he turned around and arrogantly shouted at Xiao Liu, “You, come here and change the bedding inside…”

Before he finished speaking, Li Wu suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. The three people in Qingzhu Courtyard were stunned. Xiao Liu and Cheng Qi looked at each other, both feeling confused.

Li Wu stared at his palm in confusion, “Hey! That’s weird, was there a mosquito just now?”

After moving his fingers a few times and finding nothing wrong, Li Wu continued, “Go to work quickly, a rough slave really thinks of himself as a master.”

After saying that, Li Wu slapped himself powerfully. This time, half of his face was swollen. Li Wu looked around in horror, but there was no one else in Qingzhu Courtyard.

“Brother Tianyan clearly asked you to go just now,” Cheng Qi squatted on the ground and retorted softly.

“Young madam, you have just entered the house and you don’t know the rules of our Li Mansion.” Li Wu heard Cheng Qi’s words but didn’t care. The young master had been in a good mood these past two days. When the young master remembered about the young lady Cheng, this little shuanger wouldn’t be hanging around anymore.

“I’ll just go,” Xiao Liu shook his head to Cheng Qi. Anyway, he used to clean up the young master’s room.

But before Xiao Liu could move, Li Wu’s hands began to lose control again. He slapped his face repeatedly, unable to stop. “What… what’s going on?”

Thinking that one command would stop this, Li Wu quickly tried to change his words, “You don’t have to go, I’ll take care of it myself.”

After saying that, the right hand that had been uncontrollable immediately stopped. Li Wu was very scared, quickly went to work.

Cheng Qi saw a yellow talisman paper stuck on Li Wu’s back as he ran into the wing, he knew Li Tianyan was behind it, and wrinkled his nose in Li Wu’s direction.

.

Li Tianyan, who had walked away, had a pleasant smile on his lips. He was well aware of Li Wu’s sneaky and cunning personality, and this was a lesson he deserved.

Li Tianyan walked to the Training Pavilion and heard a burst of noise. A group of young warriors were training hard. These were the martial arts disciples recruited by Li Mansion this year, and the number was more than twice as many as in previous years.

It seemed that after Li Tiancheng joined Tianfan Immortal Sect, their status had risen. Li family might soon surpass the Cheng family and replace the head of the four major families.

As soon as Li Tianyan appeared at the training ground, many people noticed him. “Look, that’s the third young master Li. Wasn’t he sick and couldn’t get up?”

“He should have no face to show off. He was sick but that face doesn’t look like he is sick.”

“Do you think he doesn’t dare to see people because he is useless or because he married that ugly weirdo?” The  speakers didn’t seem afraid at all that Li Tianyan would hear them, their voices becoming louder and louder. Li Tianyan was considered a waste, and the Li family had long treated him as an abandoned son.

“I thought I was wrong. How come the third young master of our Li Mansion is interested in hanging out today?” Li Hong said with a malicious smile upon seeing Li Tianyan. He had heard yesterday that Li Tianyan had offended Li Wan. Today was the perfect time to teach him a lesson and impress Xiao Wan.

“Do I know you?” Li Tianyan glanced at the  speaker, showing no impression of him.
