71 Recovery (1/2)

In a flash, two more weeks passed by. During this time, doctor Mu had been checking up on him every few days and each time he would marvel at the pace at which he was healing. Bai Yun tried to find out more about his previous reincarnations. But even doctor Mu was not clear on the case. Most of these cases happened about ten thousand years apart and they did not live long. Doctor Mu only had some medical documents about the various cases and had no personal information. All of this was of no help to Bai Yun in figuring out what had caused him to reincarnate here again and again.

During this time he was fed even more precious medicines. All of this caused his healing to speed up even more. By now he had completely recovered from all of his damages. Not only that due to the secret technique he had employed, but his body and cultivation had also become a little bit sturdier and firmer.

The secret technique was based on the idea of growth after breaking. Thus it had parts that allowed growth even while recovering from critical damage. If it wasn't for the fact that it was quite slow compared to just directly recovering, and also the dangers associated with breaking your own body, this could have even been a mainstream technique. He was also able to mend his own body to make it more similar to the seamless body he was born with in his past life. Even though it was still nowhere close to his old body, it was still much closer to the dao than his current body. All in all his talent had effectively doubled.

Bai Yun slowly got up from his bed and stretched. He had spent the last two weeks only recovering, and that had stiffened up his body a little bit. He needed to exercise a little bit.

Bai Yun went for a run around the mansion. He had calmed his mother down quite a lot. She had relented that her earlier stance of not letting Bai Yun leave the house for the rest of his life was indeed too much. But she was still apprehensive about letting him run free. She was asking him to stay at home and follow the alchemy path for the foreseeable future. Especially considering the monstrous talent that he had shown by creating a pill without any teacher so quickly she decided that the best thing for him would be to be an alchemist.

But Bai Yun currently had a plan. He needed to win first place in the clan meeting which was only a few months away. He had to reach the peak of qi condensation realm by then. But his mother was absolutely not going to let him run around looking for chances to breakthrough. So whatever move he makes, it would have to be hidden from her, at least for a short while.

Bai Yun thought very carefully for a while. He needed a new avenue to make money. Once he had enough money, he could easily reach the peak of qi condensation. Due to the secret technique he had employed while recovering from his injuries, he would be able to make quite a few breakthroughs without destabilizing his foundation. And due to his god sense controlling the qi inside him, as long as he had enough qi he would be able to breakthrough.

By now the sun had set. Bai Yun stopped running and stood there watching the stars in the sky. Suddenly he noticed something. Then an evil grin appeared in his eyes as an idea came to him.

Bai Yun then went back to his room and got into bed. He calmly laid down and closed his eyes and his breathing fell into a stable rhythm.

A couple of hours passed by. Soon it was midnight. Suddenly Bai Yun opened his eyes and then quickly sat up. Finally, that consciousness that was keeping tabs on him had gone. His mother had thought that she was being sneaky, but Bai Yun's god sense had long since caught her keeping tabs on him.

Bai Yun then crept to the window in his room. He had left the window open in the morning, before he went to sleep. He then looked down. He was currently quite high up. If he tried to jump down, the noise will certainly alert his mother.

So Bai Yun slowly climbed out of the window and stood on the wall. Anyone who could see him now would certainly be surprised. Bai Yun was currently standing on the vertical wall of the mansion as if it was horizontal ground. He then started to walk downward, toward the ground.

This was a skill called wall walking. It was a skill included within the Assassin God's legacy. When you have to sneak in to kill someone, you cannot make any noise, and many of the traditional ways of entering and exiting will not be available. Thus this technique was created by him.

Once Bai Yun landed on the ground, he turned and gave a wave towards his parent's room. Then he quickly went into a run. Bai Yun still had not mastered soundless motion of the Assassin God's so he did not dare to use his movement technique.

Bai Yun quickly left the clan. Then he took out a piece of paper. Following it , he soon found himself walking deeper and deeper into the darker parts of yellow city. On the way, Bai Yun stopped at a store and bought a large robe with a hood that completely covered him up. He then changed his appearance and quickly slipped into the shadows. No one noticed him as he slipped in and out of the shadows and moved faster and faster.

Soon Bai Yun reached a small roadside pub. There was no one around in this part of the city, but the pub was still open even now. Bai Yun looked up at the sky at the moon, and then he opened the door of the pub and went inside.

The inside of the pub was well furnished and well lit. But it empty at this time of the night. The only person in the pub was the bartender. He was standing behind the bar cleaning it.

Bai Yun slowly walked towards him and stood in front of him. The bartender did not look up from his job. ”I came for a job.” Bai Yun said while pushing a single gold coin forward.

The bartender continued to do what he was doing and did not even look up from the bar. ”We don't have any jobs to give.”

Bai Yun grinned. He knew that he was in the right place. ”Not that kind of job.” Bai Yun replied. As he did so, he leaked a little bit of his killing intent out. The next moment the bartender felt the whole world tremble in red due to the killing intent. For the first time since the beginning, the bartender finally had a difference in expression. He froze while cleaning and looked up at Bi Yun.
