Chapter 37

A magical glow flickered.

It seemed that an indescribable aura of the Great Dao slowly spread out, wafting through heaven and earth.

The mysterious power of the Great Dao slowly merged into Lao San Xu's body.

The halo flickered, becoming increasingly faint, and finally completely disappeared from Feng Yin's fingertips.

At the same time, a clear and spiritual force quietly surged, entering Feng Yin's body through his fingertips...

Despite his full effort, Feng Yin did not feel this clear energy.

He only felt that the power of gathering spirits was rapidly depleting, so he quickly withdrew his hand and took a deep breath.

Then he practiced the Spirit Transformation Sutra for a long time, striving to maintain the most perfect state before attempting it again.

After a while, another glow flickered, landing on Lao Si Xu's forehead.

Another clear and spiritual force returned, still silently.

It was too subtle, and Feng Yin was far from being able to perceive such minute details. He only vaguely felt a sense of clarity in his mind.

But in the fatigue of full depletion, he paid no attention to this minor matter.

Finally, the spirit gathering and transformation ended.

This was the first time Feng Yin had simultaneously transformed two people, and he felt extremely exhausted.

But strangely, he felt less tired than when he transformed Feng Ying...

He took several deep breaths, adjusted his breathing for a while, and finally stood up.

Looking at the drowsy Lao San and Lao Si Xu, he smiled slightly.

"The world is perilous; take care of yourselves. This time, I have involved you, but I am now too weak to do anything. All I can give you is a starting point for your efforts. It's up to your own destiny."

"Take care of yourselves, and I hope we meet again."

A piece of paper quietly slipped into Lao San Xu's pocket.

Feng Yin carried the two men into the room.

He tidied up the things that needed to be packed, and under the cover of night, he moved through a secret passage to another hideout.

Then he paused for a while.

Until just before dawn...

Lao San Xu seemed to wake up, groaning and mumbling, "How so smelly..." followed by snoring.

Feng Yin laughed silently.

Not everything can go as one wishes, but I can be at peace with myself.

He was relieved that they were awake and safe.

Feng Yin put Little Feng Ying in his pocket, slipped into the tunnel, and activated the pre-prepared mechanism, causing the tunnel to collapse and fill up, leaving no trace...

Until we meet again.

...

The morning breeze blew.

Lao San Xu finally woke up from his hangover, and his first feeling was...

"Ugh... damn... what's so smelly... damn, it's Lao Si!"

He kicked wildly.

"Get off! Get off, Lao Si! Xu Lao Si, did you shit your pants... damn, how can it be so smelly..."

Lao Si Xu was kicked off the bed and suddenly woke up.

The next moment, he followed his brother's footsteps, gagging continuously: "Damn... Lao San, you... Lao San, no wonder you're vomiting... at this age, you can't find a wife, and you're so smelly..."

"It's you!"

"How can you lie with your eyes open... hmm, you're the one who's more smelly."

"..."

"Damn... I'm also... on me..." Lao San Xu finally smelled himself, his face changed, and he jumped up: "Why am I so smelly too..."

Then he suddenly realized: "Why do I feel all my injuries are healed?"

He scratched his head: "Why do I feel so clear-headed... I drank so much, but I don't have a headache at all?"

Lao Si Xu also felt many changes in himself, but he was still dazed and confused, not knowing what day it was.

Then the two of them pinched their noses and rushed out of the room, stripped off their clothes, and went to the well in the yard to fetch water.

As soon as they left the room, they felt like they had escaped from a public toilet that had exploded, a refreshing feeling.

It was a pleasant feeling of finally breathing fresh air again.

Although they were still covered in feces...

At least their nostrils could smell other things... especially fresh.

The two men, naked, were desperately fetching water at the well.

Two buckets of water poured over their heads, they rubbed their faces hard, but a thick layer of mud came off, even their scalps were sticky.

As they rubbed, they looked at each other, both with a bewildered look.

What's going on?

Even their nostrils were filled with this sticky mud, and they had to dig it out several times with their fingers, scooping out clumps...

Lao Si Xu even rolled the clumps in his hand and sniffed them.

He immediately gagged, almost vomiting everything from last night.

The two naked men washed for about fifteen minutes in the yard, scrubbing until they were clean, even washing their hair several times, and the water they washed with smelled like sewage...

Finally, they were clean all over.

In the yard, a small stream flowed, carrying an overwhelming stench, heading towards the outlet.

The nearby neighbors all cursed in unison: "Damn... here it comes again!"

As the water flowed further, even farther away, the curses were deafening, continuous.

It was mealtime, and almost every household had just picked up their bowls.

The pungent smell suddenly spread with the wind.

This feeling was so infuriating.

"Damn!"

"Who the hell is this... what kind of quality!"

"Damn, I just put a piece of meat in my mouth, chewed it a few times, and this smell got into my mouth, it's like suddenly choking on a mouthful of shit..."

"What kind of quality!!"

"Who? Who? I'll beat him to death today, no one can stop me."

...

After washing.

The two brothers felt like they had just woken up from a big dream, now awake, clear-headed, and full of energy.

Their whole bodies were filled with strength.

They seemed to understand many things, a feeling of insight into the world, unprecedented and very strange.

I've become smarter...

Even more, all their hidden injuries were almost completely healed.

"This... this... what's going on?"

Lao San Xu moved his body, bewildered: "Is this... is this the legendary transformation, the refinement of the body? This..."

Lao Si Xu had the same feeling, but he wasn't as educated as his brother and couldn't say such profound words as "transformation" or "refinement."

He just kept exclaiming: "Too amazing... too amazing..."

Both were martial artists and were always the most sensitive to changes in their bodies; they truly felt that they were different from before.

It was a... change in their bones, a fundamental change.

Even... a change in their talent and endowment!

Many cultivation questions that they couldn't figure out before were now clear in their current state of insight.

Their martial path, perhaps from now on, would truly be unblocked, no, it would just begin.

But what exactly happened?

Even if a deity had guided them, it wouldn't be this miraculous.

"Right, where's Mr. Feng?"

Lao San Xu suddenly remembered: "This must be related to Mr. Feng... Mr. Feng!"

He shouted and rushed to Feng Yin's room.

He pushed the door lightly, and it opened.

Inside, it was empty, nothing left.

"Where's Mr. Feng?"

The two looked at each other.

They searched around, found no one, and suddenly remembered they were both naked, so they hurriedly ran back to their room to find clothes and tidy up...

After a while, they found the note left by Feng Yin.

"Many days of gathering, it's a matter of fate; the martial world is long, and there will be a parting. I have no intention of getting involved in the martial world's disputes, but I helped Qingyi win a great battle, with heavy casualties on both sides, and there will be consequences. So I leave at the right time, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, hoping to meet again."

"You two have been in the clinic for a long time, with many people and eyes, there will be leaks; in the future, there may be troubles, which I have caused."

"Two transformation pills, to help the two of you improve your potential and increase your foundation, for the martial path, adding more possibilities, I can only do so much."

"Hope the two of you take care in the martial world, have a bright future, achieve your lifelong dreams, and bridge the gap in the martial path."

"The martial world is vast, and we part ways here, each going our own way."

"This place will become a place of trouble, leave quickly, do not stay long."

There was no signature at the bottom, only a small seal.

The seal was not a name but a small wind chime, delicate and exquisite.

After reading the note, the two were overwhelmed with emotion, speechless, feeling a warm current in their hearts, wanting to express it but unable to, their throats choked up.

"Turns out, all this was Mr. Feng's blessing for us..."

"Two transformation pills... such unheard-of divine items, he gave them to us."

"And he says it's a burden... what burden, we are just lowly killers, not even in the ranks, how often do we control our own fate..."

"Qingyi's enemies, their revenge, is normal. Life and death, fortune and misfortune, we expected from the first day we entered this line. The martial world is a whirlpool, who can avoid it? We are citizens of the Great Qin, and dying for the country is normal, how can it be a burden?"

"Who would have thought that Mr. Feng would give us such a great blessing because of this connection..."

The two were so moved they couldn't speak, this was a favor of rebirth.

To a certain extent, this favor could be compared to the nurturing grace of parents.

The nurturing grace of parents is greater than the sky, but this directly bestowed a bright future.

This is not an exaggeration.

The only comparable thing would be a famous teacher guiding a student onto the path to success.

The excitement of Lao San Xu and Lao Si Xu was indescribable, their whole bodies trembling.

A huge windfall had fallen on them out of nowhere.

"In this life, we will never forget Mr. Feng's great kindness!"

The two solemnly tidied their clothes, stood straight, and then respectfully knelt down, bowing nine times to Feng Yin's door.

"The martial world is vast, but the connection of fate continues. Any progress we make in the future will be due to Mr. Feng. If we have the opportunity, we will serve Mr. Feng with all our might; we will not hesitate to face any danger!"

"May the heavens witness!"
