Chapter 10 Soul Power
“Ouch!”
Feng Qing'an lay on the bed groaning, his pants already pulled down to his thighs. A handsome young man, with a helpless smile on his face, held a jar of ointment and patiently applied it to him.
"Hiss~ Big brother, be gentle, it hurts!"
"You still feel the pain ?"
Feng Qingping said with a smile.
"I'm not a wooden man, how could I not feel the pain?"
"You know it hurts, but you said in front of so many people that you want to be a prince. You deserve this beating!"
"Brother, don't you want me to be a yanei?"
Feng Qing'an rested his head on his arms and looked at his elder brother who was applying medicine to him.
Yin's attack was just that, it looked fierce, but it only left a few red marks on his body. The one who really beat Feng Qing'an so hard that he had to lie on the bed was Feng Shouli.
This honest and simple farmer, when he heard that his second son wanted to borrow the power of his eldest brother to become a dandy, he immediately became furious. He picked up a carrying pole and started beating him without mercy. Fortunately, someone tried to dissuade him, otherwise Feng Qing'an's legs would have been broken.
"What kind of yanei do you want to be?"
Feng Qingping smiled gently and asked back.
"What else can this be?"
Feng Qingan asked in surprise.
"In Beijing, I have seen the sons of the rich and powerful who love beautiful women and fancy clothes, and who linger in places of entertainment and pleasure for months without returning home. On the way to Beijing for the imperial examination, I have also seen dandy sons who, relying on their family's power, bully men and women, and even rob women and seize people's land, causing complaints from the people."
"Left holding Huang, right holding Cang, wearing a brocade hat and a sable coat, with thousands of riders on the plain, as the eldest brother, I'll just do the first one I mentioned. I won't do anything that bullies men and women. Walking chickens and fighting dogs, staying overnight in brothels, and listening to music in brothels are all good."
Feng Qingan answered without even thinking.
"Are you serious?"
Feng Qingping looked at Feng Qingan seriously and the smile on his face faded.
"Brother, don't you know me yet?"
Feng Qing'an buried his head in his arms and answered sullenly.
"You want to take the imperial examination and seek a small official position in this county. You will be content with a small fortune for the rest of your life ."
"Yes, my greatest pursuit is to pass the imperial examination."
Feng Qingan raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and then he became a little depressed.
"But they want me to be like you, to be the top scholar, or at least a Jinshi!"
"So you're just talking nonsense?"
Feng Qingping couldn't help laughing out loud.
"That's not nonsense. I originally set my goal to become a juren, but I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Since you have already passed the imperial examination with a sixth place, why should I suffer through ten years of hard study? I can just take advantage of your success."
Feng Qingan said with a smile, before today, he really wanted to study hard, it is better to rely on himself than on his elder brother, it is better to rely on oneself than on others. However, he can practice cultivation, so he can only put aside the imperial examination.
"Wouldn't it be nice to take the exam and become the top scorer like me?"
Feng Qingping asked with a smile.
"Brother, don't you realize how outrageous you are? I'm just an ordinary person. I can just rely on your fame and enjoy a lifetime of wealth. Why bother yourself with the trouble of passing the imperial examination? There must be many octogenarians in the examination room, right?"
Feng Qing'an couldn't help but shout out, this was a top scholar in the imperial examination who was less than fourteen years old. He was not surprised to hear that he was the reincarnation of a star god from heaven. After all, there were cultivators and immortals, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Um!"
Feng Qingping couldn't help but nod his head when he thought of what he had seen in the imperial examination hall. Too many people had wasted their lives because of the imperial examination, and in their later years, they had accomplished nothing.
"So, if I act a little bit like an asshole now, they won't have such high expectations of me. In the future, as long as I can act a little bit more normal, they will be very happy."
"Haha, you kid!"
After listening to Feng Qingan's twisted logic, Feng Qingping found it even more interesting and couldn't help laughing. Then he said,
"You still need to read more books . As for whether to take the imperial examination and gain fame, it all depends on your heart."
Feng Qingping patiently instructed, carefully pulled up Feng Qingan's pants, and took out the quilt to cover him.
"I've given you the medicine. Just sleep on your stomach these few nights. Don't move around at night, or you'll be the one in pain!"
"Okay!"
Feng Qing'an agreed happily, and then watched his elder brother leave his room with the ointment. He was the only one left in this spacious house, and fell into a rare quiet atmosphere.
“Big brother!”
Feng Qing'an lay on the bed, staring blankly for a while, and during this process, his mood gradually calmed down, and the night became more and more quiet.
“You can give it a try now!”
The training of a Beastmaster does not have any requirements for body posture, so Feng Qingan just lay there and began to try the first training in his life.
In the darkness, a white light appeared. It flickered in the darkness, then like a meteor, it broke through the darkness and fell into the boundless depths, motionless, creating circles of white light ripples...
Oh oh oh——
The loud and powerful crowing of a rooster sounded at dawn. Feng Qing'an, who had been lying on the bed all night, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the faint light shining into the room from the window, feeling a little surprised.
"It's been a night!"
Feng Qingan lay motionless on the bed. He didn't know how long he had been practicing, but he should have fallen asleep later. However, there was one thing that was beyond doubt, that was that he had successfully entered the state of practice.
At this moment, everything that came into his eyes was a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what the differences were. He just had a very strange feeling.
Just as he was carefully experiencing the differences and changes in himself after last night's practice, a mechanical voice without wisdom or emotion sounded.
[Side Quest: Long-term Vision 3]
[Explanation: Qualified pets must possess extraordinary wisdom and fight alongside the beastmaster]
[Requirement: Use the "Soul-Guiding Blood Refining Technique" to temper the physique of the pet beast and open up its spiritual wisdom]
[Reward: Enable the pet identification function]
“…”
Feng Qing'an thought for a moment, and after carefully reading the contents of "Soul Induction and Blood Refining Technique", he decided to temporarily ignore this task. He had not even successfully condensed the first soul contract. With the pitiful soul power he had refined now, it was difficult for him to even sense its existence, let alone use the secret method .
Moreover, unlike the cultivation method, this secret method is risky to use. Of course, the risk does not exist in the beastmaster, but in the beast pet. When the beastmaster uses the "Soul-Inducing Blood Refining Technique" and something goes wrong, it is the beast pet that suffers, so it must be used with extreme caution. It is best not to use it recklessly without a 100% guarantee.
