The Immortal Fire

Chapter 12: Dangerous Cultivation

After the events of Long Feiye's rejection of Liu Ying, the girl spent more time inside the room. He did not want to meet anyone but Zhou Li, not even Fang Yao and Jia Li were allowed to enter to see him.

Liu Ying's recovery was quick. Within two days, Liu Ying was already able to heal the internal injuries and external wounds on his body to the maximum.

Fang Yao and Jia Li always peeked out of Liu Ying's room window while tapping on the window puck, hoping that the girl would let them in. It had been almost four days for Liu Ying to refuse their arrival, the girl seemed to be completely heartbroken.

"Liu 'er! Let us in, at least let me eat one of the Osmanthus cakes on the table."

Fang Yao shouted from behind the window, while Jia Li sat down while leaning his body against the wall nonchalantly.

But Liu Ying remained completely invisible even though the two people had already peeked through the entire room.

Feeling bored, Jia Li took out a small knife from behind his Qiankun arm, "A'Yao, do we need this?"

Seeing that, Fang Yao displayed a faint smile. Fang Yao forcefully opened the window using the knife that Jia Li had given earlier, they did so slowly and carefully so that Liu Ying did not notice.

They entered, then strolled around in search of Liu Ying's whereabouts, but found only an empty bed and a plate of Osmanthus cookies on the nightstand table that seemed completely untouched.

Fang Yao could not help but touch the cake, he stuffed one piece of cake into his mouth and two more pieces he stored into his robe.

The more inside they saw the silhouette of a girl sitting cross-legged, they immediately peered and found what they were looking for.

Liu Ying was behind the wooden curtain, not crying or lamenting fate. Unlike what they thought, the girl was meditating on the science of Soul Peace, in front of her was also a very thick shabby book.

At first the girl seemed to be drowning in calmness. Realizing there was movement around him, Liu Ying kicked a Flower Vase beside him towards Feng Yao and Jia Li without opening his eyes in the slightest.

The two men dodged, but instead made them expose themselves in front of Liu Ying by accident.

The vase shattered into pieces after hitting the floor of the room hard to formless.

Liu Ying opened his eyes slowly then looked at the two intruders sharply.

"Err ... Liu'er, we didn't mean to. We're just worried about you, I swear." Fang Yao raised his three fingers with his mouth still chewing on Osmanthus.

Instantly the atmosphere became silent, no one dared to speak after seeing the intimidating gaze from Liu Ying.

Liu Ying immediately stood up and picked up the book in front of him, then he walked over to the two people who were caught off guard. His gaze softened, he suddenly laughed a little to make the two friends confused.

Jia Li held onto Liu Ying's arm then shook it, "Liu'er, are you possessed again? Is it possible because your feelings were rejected by Long Feiye?"

Liu Ying flicked Jia Li's head, it was nice that they said that he was possessed by a demon.

"I've decided!" Liu Ying said again with a big smile, they did not understand the mindset of the girl.

"Decide what?" Fang Yao asked confusedly.

Liu Ying invited his two friends to sit on the floor, still with a smile that did not fade in the least.

"I'll go down the path of Exchange cultivation."

Qiu Ying's words suddenly made the two people before him jump in shock, it was something that was impossible to do. Cultivation was the path taken by the people in the martial world to become strong and immortal by absorbing the Qi energy from nature as well as consuming many efficacious medicinal resources.

The cultivation path was divided into three parts namely Sword cultivation, Devil cultivation, and Exchange cultivation.

Yet the path of Exchange cultivation was the hardest cultivation the world had ever seen, a person capable of mastering it could be counted on the finger. Worse yet cultivation is almost impossible to master because of the enormous risk if it fails to exceed the stages.

The person who wanted to take the path of Soul Sacrifice should have a pure Qi energy of around a hundred thousand rings, should also be able to break through the Thousand Doors of Souls as well as fuse his soul with the overpowered elements.

Taking this path of cultivation was tantamount to gambling or risking a soul between succeeding or failing. If successful it will get the rewards of high immortal strength, and break through the level of a God Swordsman. But if it fails, then the soul that we bet on will be destroyed and make the owner die very horribly.

Many people fail at the stage of breaking through the Thousand Doors of Souls, they lose soul consciousness for a lifetime even the worst risk is death.

Liu Ying is not even old enough yet, performing that act 99% would reap failure.

Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying in disbelief, "That's impossible! You won't be able to survive even at the Qi purification stage alone, we haven't reached Senior class."

"You can't go down that road, Liu'er. It was a cursed path, if your grandfather knew you were cultivating in secret, he would be wrathful."

Jia Li tried to explain to Liu Ying about the worst thing he could get if he stepped onto that path, but was denied by the girl.

"Nothing is impossible in this world. So, what's wrong if we try?"

Liu Ying was already thinking about all the risks and he was prepared for it. Even he had discussed it to Zhou Li and still rejected many times by the old woman until now.

Zhou Li realized that the blood of hatred that was in Liu Ying's body would reject the holy cultivation so he ordered Liu Ying to study the Science of Soul Peace before going into the stage of becoming an immortal Cultivator.

Jia Li and Fang Yao became both annoyed and worried about Liu Ying's crazy intentions, "Liu'er, are you looking to die? You may have gone mad because of Long Feiye."

Liu Ying snorted at that unreasonable reason, but one of the reasons Liu Ying had to pursue the path of Exchange cultivation was because he wanted to become stronger than Long Feiye.

"Are you my friends or not, huh? You should support every decision I make. Are you guys happy to see me going through this kind of misery my whole life? I want to be free, and I wish I could leave this damned place forever."

Fang Yao fell silent for a moment then said coldly, "Alright!"

Jia Li was surprised to hear Fang Yao's words, the man had even been affected.

Fang Yao understood Liu Ying's ambition, but that path of cultivation was an exception. The young man looked away, "Rethink. If you don't have any doubt in your heart, I won't stop you."

Jia Li did not accept Fang Yao's words, how could the man let his best friend take the wrong step?

"A'Yao, you should have stopped Liu'er. Your mindset is getting chronic, you may have lost your mind."

Fang Yao tried to pacify Jia Li who was constantly scolding them, "Xiao .Li, Liu'er has his own path and we also have our own path."

The upset Jia Li left Liu Ying and Fang Yao and left the room immediately. Fang Yao acted colder than before thus making many questions arise in Liu Ying's mind.

Fang Yao looked at Liu Ying meaningfully, "Your future is entirely with you, you must swear to me that you will succeed! To be honest I see a great potential in you, I'll help you find the necessary information."

Liu Ying seemed to feel guilty, "Then, what about Jia Li?"

"We will take care of it later, I will also begin to prepare myself to enter the path of gathering pure Qi," Fang Yao said last time before leaving Liu Ying with his book.

At first Liu Ying did not understand, but then he realized that there was one more person who would go mad with him.
