Jiang Chao Ge with Yu Ren Shu, Tian Rong rode a horse at the front. The people Yu Ren Shu brought walked behind them. In the middle was a big luxurious horse carriage, the scent of fragrant alcohol floating out from within.

Yu Ren Shu turned his head back and glanced back at the horse carriage, eyebrows knitting together slightly, "He"s actually addicted to alcohol in such a way."

Tian Rong said: "Its rumoured that these ancient rare beasts all have some strange hobbies. Qi Lin is addicted to alcohol, the White Marsh is addicted to books, Qiong Qi is addicted to colour, Tao Tie is addicted to the delicacies of the world."

Jiang Chao Ge rolled his eyes, turning the horse around and lifting the portiere with one motion, "Zuzong, can you drink a little less….." he looked at the person that was in a drunken stupor within the horse carriage, and held back from saying the remaining half of the sentence.

When they set off in the morning he was obviously still in the form of a youth, how come he appeared to be only fifteen or fourteen years old as the day pa.s.sed?!

Zhi Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked and him, "What?"

"Eh….." Jiang Chao Ge swallowed, "I"m worried that you"ll vomit…."

Zhi Xuan gave him a scornful glance, "If I vomit, it"s because this body is too small. I won"t fall to even a thousand cups." He lifted the alcohol pot, top quality alcohol pouring into his mouth, expression endlessly joyful.

"I also thought so. Sir Zhi Xuan you continue to drink. If you run out give a shout." Jiang Chao Ge retracted his neck. He prayed in his heart for Zhi Xuan to quickly pa.s.s out drunk.

Yu Ren Shu shot a glance at him, a sliver of mocking in his pupils.

Jiang Chao Ge frowned: "It seems that it"s somewhat difficult for me to maintain his adult appearance with my spiritual power."

"The day before yesterday you consumed too much spiritual power in the big battle. The emptiness now can also be considered normal."

Jiang Chao Ge shook his head, "My spiritual power was originally weak. When I summoned his real form back then, I borrowed Meng Sheng"s spiritual power. It"s long since been completely depleted by now. There"s only mine left."

"If a spirit priest of a higher rank than you gives you his spiritual power, although it"s not possible for you to reach his cultivation level, that spiritual power will help you link two meridians. That is, when your own spiritual power temporarily cannot be connected, it will allow you to have the cultivation base of at least a level one even a level two spirit weapon user. When you cultivate more later, you can level up in a relatively short amount of time."

Jiang Chao Ge had studied the basics, laws and the dark path of cultivation. The laws state that spiritual power should be used to break through the twelve positive meridians. The more meridians and acupuncture points the spiritual power can link up the higher your cultivation base. The dark path normally used spiritual power to walk the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The introductory technique books especially warned beginners not to walk the dark path or else light consequences involve completely ruining your cultivation, heavy consequences involve being obsessed in hallucinations.

For beginners, the first meridian they had to break through was the Kong Zui Number 11 acupuncture point (other name手太阴肺经11穴). Only this way could one reach the cultivation of a level 1 spirit weapon user. It was very possible that the spiritual power Meng Sheng gave him not only helped him link no.11 acupuncture point, it also helped him break through a meridian.

Jiang Chao Ge said: "Wouldn"t this be full of opportunities then? As long as someone with a higher cultivation than you gives you their spiritual power, you would be able to save quite a bit of time."

Yu Ren Shu said: "It seems easy, but how can it be that simple. Firstly, the person with the thigh cultivation must be a spirit priest. The cultivation path of a spirit priest is harder than that of a spirit weapon user or a spirit master, and they are also the most rare. Powerful spirit priests all have rather high positions, and are worshiped by the people. They will not be so easily moved. Secondly, giving spiritual power will damage cultivation. Unless you have the ability to force the spirit priest to give their spiritual power to you. However, if you really did have that ability, your cultivation will most likely already be higher than the spirit priests", what use to you have for their spiritual power?"

Jiang Chao Ge glanced at Yu Ren Shu from the corner of his eye, "You are so young yet your cultivation is so high…."

Yu Ren Shu glared at him, "I cultivated spiritual power since I was three and was also extremely talented. You dare make such preposterous conjunctions yourself. Simply impudent."

Jiang Chao Ge thought in his heart, a wise man knew better than to fight when the odds are against him and quietly turned his head away.

Yu Ren Shu narrowed his eyes, "That reminds me, I still haven"t settled accounts with you for kidnapping me that time."

"Weren"t you doing it on purpose?"

"No matter if I did it on purpose or not, you dare to kidnap a prince, it"s a serious crime."

Jiang Chao Ge put on a fake smile, "I believe with Third Prince"s intelligence, you should be able to understand my choice in the frenetic situation. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to visit another unfamiliar world. In addition, as soon as I arrived, I"m met with a crowd of people shouting for me to be killed….. why are they so hostile towards Other World people?"

"Because Other World people are enemies with the State Preceptor, and the State Preceptor is someone of virtue and prestige."

"We only want to return to our own world."

Yu Ren Shu shook his head, "I"m not clear about the reason for it. When we arrive at the imperial capital, you can personally ask the State Preceptor yourself."

"Also, what is the Ming Ling a.s.sociation?"

"It"s a evil religious sect that oppose the royal family, fighting for high grade spirit weapons everywhere."

Jiang Chao Ge"s gaze turned dark and cold, "I will definitely kill Shen Yan Sui and that Fei Yi to avenge Meng Sheng."

"Sheng Yan Sui should be killed, but that Fei Yi cannot be killed. He is originally a spirit beast, who also doesn"t distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, only acting in accordance to the thoughts of the spirit weapon user."

Jiang Chao Ge mocked: "Its that you hate to part with a Heavne grade spirit weapon right?"

"What do you know. Obtaining a Heaven grade spirit weapon is like obtaining an army. That something that"s difficult to ask for even with great wealth."

"Since it"s like that, Divine grade spirit weapons appearing on earth should make you happy instead."

"Divine grade spirit weapons can"t be controlled by normal people. They will inevitably bring about foul wind and rain of blood." Yu Ren Shu looked at him, "Your spiritual power is so weak, it really is a miracle you could actually still survive until now."

Jiang Chao Ge lifted his lips in a smile, "No matter how weak my spiritual power is, I"m still the only person that is compatible with his spiritual awareness. Just based on this, I can still live a long time."

Yu Ren Shu looked at him, "You are actually an interesting Other World person."

"Have you come into contact with other Other World people?"

"I have. They are filled with hostility towards us."

"It"s possibly because you call for them to be killed as soon as you see Other World people."

Yu Ren Shu said coldly: "Other World people have once infiltrated the imperial capital and attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate the State Preceptor."

Jiang Chao Ge disagreed. He thought in his heart, him transmigrating to a different world is related to the State Preceptor. At the very least, the State Preceptor was preventing him from returning. Other Other World people must"ve also thought this way. That was why even thought he hadn"t seen the State Preceptor yet, he was already filled with hostility towards this person.

An empty alcohol pot was once again flung from the horse carriage, only hearing Zhi Xuan shout loudly: "Jiang Chao Ge."

Jiang Chao Ge grudgingly turned the horse around and walked over, "Zuzong, what"s wrong?"

Zhi Xuan laid p.r.o.ne on the soft couch of the horse carriage, long hair hanging down loosely, eyes misted over. The appearance of a fourteen or fifteen year old youth actually had a type of bewitching beauty. He mumbled: "You…. are you on my hair."

Jiang Chao Ge really wanted to ask "how". He said dumbfounded: "No."

"Then who is on my hair?"

"Maybe its you."

"Make him get off my hair."

Jiang Chao Ge jumped into the horse carriage, kicking away a pile of alcohol pots. He flipped Zhi Xuan"s body over, gathering his hair together and simply twisted it into a braided pigtail. He coiled it around a few times and wound it together, using a piece of cloth to tie it firmly.

Zhi Xuan hugged his waist, rubbing against his belly, "Are you going to give me a shower today?"

"Not today."

"Why?"

"No reason."

"Tomorrow?"

"We"ll see tomorrow."

"Why decide tomorrow?"

"You are too heavy right now. I can"t wash you."

"Trash." Zhi Xuan yawned, "Can the old man not come back after he"s dead?"

Jiang Chao Ge"s hands froze, voice becoming quiet, "No."

"A rare beast can be made into a spirit weapon when it dies, humans can"t?"

Jiang Chao Ge was stumped. He had never thought about this question before, "It shouldn"t be possible."

Zhi Xuan became silent for a moment, "If your spiritual power wasn"t this weak, I would be able to help you avenge him."

"Mn, my fault."

Zhi Xuan lifted his head and looked at him, “Are you crying?"

"No."

"I saw it."

Jiang Chao Ge pinched his face, "You definitely saw wrong."

"My real body can see a thousand miles, it"s impossible for me to see wrong." Zhi Xuan crawled up, pinching his chin, "Don"t cry in the future. Don"t humiliate me."

Jiang Chao Ge smiled: "Why will it humiliate you if I cry? Do you acknowledge me as your spirit weapon user?"

Zhi Xuan glared at him, "No, but you can be my servant."

Servant, he so wanted that Jiang Chao Ge thought sarcastically in his heart, "I will definitely become your spirit weapon user. If I can freely summon your real body, will you form a contract with me?"

Zhi Xuan gave a snort, "Depends on your performance."

Jiang Chao Ge said curiously: "How do you form a contract anyway?"

"Merging blood or mating."

Jiang Chao Ge swore.

Zhi Xuan fell backwards again, resting his head on Jiang Chao Ge"s leg, selfishly embracing his waist, "Don"t go out."

"Why?"

"I hate that human and also that Zheng. Don"t be stained by their scent."

"I also don"t like them but I want to see the State Preceptor."

"Will the State Preceptor send you back to your own world?"

"Don"t know."

"You promised me that you will take me to see."

"If I can go back, I will definitely take you to have a look."

Zhi Xuan closed his eyes and soon fell asleep securely.

Jiang Chao Ge was glad that it was now late autumn or else with Zhi Xuan"s body temperature he"ll be roasted alive.

At night, they arrived at a small city. When they entered the city, they were just in time for the lantern festival and it was unusually lively.

Hearing the sound, Zhi Xuan immediately woke up and wanted to get off the horse carriage and go play.

Jiang Chao Ge looked at his appearance that seemed to have become two years younger and grabbed him, "Don"t go. Don"t you want to drink alcohol? I"ll drink with you."

"Don"t want to drink anymore, I want to go see." Zhi Xuan pushed him away and jumped off the horse carriage.

Jiang Chao Ge had no choice but to follow him down.

"Eh?" As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhi Xuan noticed that something was amiss. He looked at Jiang Chao Ge suspiciously, "How come I"m shorter than you?"

Jiang Chao Ge smiled: "You must"ve drank too much."

Zhi Xuan was dumbfounded for a moment, then became extremely angry, "Trash, you spiritual power is insufficient isn"t it?"

Jiang Chao Ge dragged him to one side, "Zuzong, your appearance now is also quite impressive, really."

Zhi Xuan grabbed his collar and stood on his tiptoes about to bite him. Jiang Chao Ge leaned backwards desperately, "Ok ok don"t make a scene. Let me recuperate for a few days and it"ll be ok."

"What are you doing?" Yu Ren Shu walked over, frowning severely.

Jiang Chao Ge said with perfect composure, "Playing."

Tian Rong found it difficult to hide the surprise on his face. As far as he was aware, Qi Lin was an aloof and remote ancient rare beast. Even if he was unfeeling and unreasonable, he could not go so far as to….lower his status in such a way.

Zhi Xuan was so angry he saw stars. Then, after discovering that his hair was tied into ball of twisted plaits by Jiang Chao Ge, he made another scene, rushing into the lantern festival, grabbing everything he saw. Jiang Chao Ge bringing four of Yu Ren Shu"s subordinates, followed behind him paying money. Just like that, big and small bundles appeared that was almost impossible to carry.

After returning to the inn, Jiang Chao Ge was so tired he was lazy to speak. However, he was not in a rush to sleep at all, and instead ran his spiritual power through his meridians. Sure enough, it was as Yu Ren Shu said. Although the spiritual power Meng Sheng gave him was temporary, that spiritual power not only helped him link up Kong Zhi No11 acupuncture point, it even helped him link Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yang Ming as well as halfway through the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yang Ming. This way he had achieved the base of level 2 close to 3 spirit weapon user. As long as increased cultivation, in less than three months, he could truly possess the strength of a level 2 spirit weapon user. After another year, he could break through the base of a level 3 spirit weapon user. Meng Sheng had saved him as much as three or five years!

Jiang Chao Ge was overjoyed at the turn of events and was also endlessly grateful towards Meng Sheng. If it could be combined with a high grade spirit pill, he could very quickly be able to summon Zhi Xuan"s real body.

Zhi Xuan fell backwards on the bed, "What are you smiling about?"

Jiang Chao Ge clenched his fists, "The spiritual power Meng Sheng gave me helped me break through two and a half meridians. My cultivation will increase very quickly."

"Then hurry up. I hate this appearance."

A trace of a confident smile showed on Jiang Chao Ge"s face.

Zhi Xuan threw himself at him, "Sleep."

"Zuzong, you are too hot. Can you not hug me?"

Zhi Xuan said furiously: "b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it was you that wanted to hug me!"

"That was when you were child."

"I am never a child!"

Jiang Chao Ge gave a long sigh. How good would it be if his spirit beast was as mature as Tian Rong…..

Kong Zui Number 11 acupuncture point/ 手太阴肺经11穴- first thought when I saw this "F*** I don"t know s.h.i.t about acupuncture and meridians stuff how the h.e.l.l am I gonna translate this". In the end I translated it quite directly and used another name for it cuz the name the author used… would basically be translated into something like the hand moon lung no11 acupuncture point. So yeah not very nice sounding. Since I don"t want to do a whole research paper on this thing let"s just say it"s an acupuncture point around the forearm area leave it at that.

Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yang Ming/手阳明大肠经的２０穴- this is basically a long meridian that runs from the hand to the mouth. I"ll include a picture for your convenience

Stomach Meridian of Foot Yang Ming/足阳明胃经- a meridian that runs from the left eye to the foot.
