“You little brat! Go back to the surface! You reek of your mother’s milk!” Bellowed the Alchemy God.

However, Ni Ma wasn’t even listening. His eye widened in awe, the normalfag in front of him matched the description of the elderly grandma during dinner. This meant that he had meat, Ni Ma’s mouth was salivating at that thought.

“Old fag give me meat!” squealed Ni Ma.

“You fat little turd! How dare you call me a fag, do you wish to die?” roared the fag.

While completely ignoring the Alchemy God’s unbridled rage, Ni observed his surroundings and asked the Alchemy God a question, “Alchemy God you live big cave? Are you homeless?”

“You insolent runt! I shall personally teach you to respect your elders!” The Alchemy God lifted Ni Ma up with a single arm. With his hand in the shape of a claw firmly grasping Ni Ma’s face and started channeling his Qi. He then unexpectedly released Ni Ma from his iron grip.

“Behold my power! I have transferred my All-Seeing Spiritual Eyes to you! Are you in awe of my strength and power now?” bragged the Alchemy God.

“With these eyes passed down from my own teacher, I forged my own legend from Qi control and supreme pill making! Everyone under the Seven Heavens sought my services and my name was spread throughout the land! And now, I am passing them to you!”

Ni Ma’s previously plain brown eyes had a glint of blue energy behind them, giving him an indescribable charm. Everything he was looking at had completely changed! He could clearly see the flow of Qi in his surroundings, they were represented by numerous specks of light, similar to the Aurora Borealis. The pool which he fell in had blue Qi, and the cavern floors and walls had brown colored Qi. However, when he looked at the Alchemy God, Ni Ma only saw a feeble flickering in the areas around his head, chest, and lower body.

Noticing Ni Ma was observing the surroundings with his newly obtained eyes, the Alchemy God continued blowing his own trumpet, “These eyes are capable of distinguishing between Qi types, the cavern walls are imbued with Earth Qi, and the pool with Water Qi.”

“Now it is time to make your decision! If you become my discipline, I will train you so that you can leave your own mark on this world! I have resources easily surpassing a large sect! Access to cultivation manuals that small sects can only dream off and most importantly, I will pass down all my knowledge to you!” The Alchemy God declared.

Confronted by the numerous tantalizing and generous benefits which the Alchemy God had offered, Ni Ma answered: “No, I want meat!”

“F*ck! To think I have no choice but to accept a retard as my successor because no one has entered this cave in thousands of years is infuriating! But I do not have much of a choice!” The Alchemy God depressingly thought to himself.

“I have meat too. High-quality meat from demonic beasts that will all be yours if you accept!* coughed the Alchemy God, almost choking on Ni Ma’s words.

“Okay!” Ni Ma was overjoyed, his journey into the forest had finally paid off!

.

Back in the tiny home of the elderly couple, “Husband! Wake up! The Young Master’s missing!”

The old woman’s husband jolted awake, “What? Where could he have gone?”

“I don’t know! I have already asked our neighbors and none of them have seen him! The Ninh Young Master must have snuck out at night!”

“Send a messenger pigeon to tell the Cao Clan in the Cheng Shi Province!”

.

The messenger pigeon landed on the windowsill of Cao Ji Bai’s study. Cao Ji Bai untied the message from the pigeon’s leg and read it.

“WHAT? ONE OF MY SONS IS MISSING?” Cao Ji Bai’s voice echoed through the entire manor.

“Lu Bu prepare my horse and my personal army!”

“At once Master! ”

“Whose son is missing?” All of Cao Ji Bai’s wives had arrived in his study, asking for the sake of their own sons safety. These women were highly competitive and spurred their sons to compete for the seat of the Cao clan’s future heir. If another wives’ son was injured or missing, it would be music to their ears as there would be one less competitor.

“Jing Ye, it's our son.” Cao Ji Bai afraid to be the bearer of ill news soft whispered.

Upon hearing the news, Madam Jing Ye fainted into Duo Yu’s arms.

“Duo Yu, take care of the Ninth Madam! I must make my way to the Ni Tu Province and search for him! The sooner we set off the better! Ni Ma is unable to take care of himself! He’s only three years old!” commanded Cao Ji Bai as he made his way to the stables.

As Cao Ji Bai left, the other wives gleefully gossipped among themselves, “What’s the point of Master Ji Bai going off to search for a useless cripple?”

“Thank god its the Ninth Young Master, although the Ninth Madam did nothing to us, her overwhelming fighting abilities made her greatly favored by the matriarch.”

“Did you know? The matriarch herself even personally conducted the Qi test, only for there to be no response! Her son completely disappointed the matriarch with his lack of ability!”

Duo Yu who was within earshot of their discussion could only turn a blind eye and quickly carried the Ninth Madam back to her room as the group of women continued badmouthing the Ninth Young Master. A lowly personal maid had little say in the household and thus could not protect the honor of her master. Such was the politics that went on in the Cao clan’s household.
