Triple Cultivation

by David Stephan

  Her body soon turned into a bare naked hourglass. She had red hair that went past her shoulders, and a sinuous body that drew eyes wherever she walked.

  The candles lit up as Zhou held out his hand, pulling a switch that lit the gas wicks in the room.

  Tao Bo sat on the bar and gobbled down a glass of wine, angrily crushing it as he stared at Zhou.

  He could see the waitress hopping on him, leaning into kiss him, and going down towards his groan.

  “Relax sir…” a lady named gong Xu said, “Patting him smoothly on the leg. Our manager has seen you and wishes to talk with you in the back room. She says anything you desire is on the house.”

  “Heh… I can’t… I’m watching butter ball over here,” tao bo yawned.. “Ugh… what does this manager look like! Is she as beautiful as the shadow dancing in the twilight on that fatty’s chest?”

  “She’s… more experienced… the men have even honored with a special plaque… best… blow…job… of the year… For you… this one time…”

  Tao Bo sighed and slammed down his cup, bursting it into pieces.

  “Heh, it will slow down my cultivation for a few weeks… Unlike these little rascals, I need only yang to cultivate… show me the way.”

  ….

  Tan Jin and Lin Chen went for a walk in the company of moonlight.

  They set up a meeting with an old friend and had Mo Zexian on a string with three beast souls following closely to her body.

  The individual they were heading towards was seeped in shadow, standing on the corner of Turtle Square. He had a hood covering his face with a large turtle emblem on his chest.

  “Zou Fang… did you find anything out?” Tan Jin yelled, approaching the mysteriously dressed man. “This isn’t a secret operation… you can stop hiding in the shadows.”

  “It’s nothing good… That assassin is right, Qui jia is in a little town by Placid Earth Lake… It wasn’t there the last time I checked either… they built an entire little city in less than one month.”

  “so her story checks out,” Tan Jin said, releasing her shackles from his tight grip, “What about the location of qui jia… did you figure that out?”

  “Yup, it’s easy when a person builds a palace big enough to shove three castles into. The gold looks like it’s from the Cai dynasty mines… We don’t get those metals in our mountains.”

  “so… this changes everything…. If I don’t go talk to qui kang, we’re all going to die… I never thought I’d ever go into that palace on purpose again… Have you been tracking tao bo?”

  Zou Fang nodded his head, laughing as he held up a drawing. “Yup, I sent Sun Lim to keep him company… He’s going to be in her mouth and ass for at least the next few hours… don’t worry, I paid her twice what you asked me to.”

  “Good, tell qui Zhou we’re going to meet him in the back of the noble house… If that Sun Lim can’t keep him company, we’re screwed,”

  Zou Fang wiped that thought away, “Heh… I’m in charge of an entire district because of you, tan jin… If it wasn’t for you and Lin Chen, the two cursed nobles, I’d be still hopping on one leg and peddling for money.”

  “It was the least I could do for such a talented pick pocket,” Tang Jin patted him on the shoulders. “Alright, send out your white Sonic raven…”

  ….

  Tao bo tossed Sun Lim to the side, leaving her breathless on the bed.

  He’d been in here for thirty minutes, letting out his aggression. A red mark was spread across sun Lim’s neck as she tried to get up. However, her legs were shaking in fear, and her eyes were full of tears.

  “I’m sorry… I’m a little rough… I’ll pay you extra for surviving,” Tao Bo laughed, throwing down a bag of silver on the broken wooden bed.

  The wall had blood stains on it. Sun Lim didn’t even know how that blood excited her body because tao bo’s methods were so fierce.

  Her chest heaved up and down as she tried to reach out to him, moving her hand towards his chest as she bit her lip.

  “I’m not done with you yet… You still haven’t had your full hour,” Sun Lim gripped on his cock, unable to get up as she pulled it towards her. “I’ve never had so much fun with such a man… If you want, there is still one hole remaining.”

  “Heh… you’re insane,” Tao Bo reached forward, gently coating his hand against her hair. “However, you’re not going to ever be able to walk if I enter you again… I’m being very serious… Consider yourself warned.”

  Sun lim Laughed, turning over on her chest.

  Meanwhile, Qui Zhou hugged Tan Jin tightly as their girls likewise locked arms.

  “You can’t be here for very long,” Qui Zhou said, his skin shining bronze. “Whatever it is, brother… the sooner you get out of here the better.”

  “it’s… it’s complicated,” Tan Jin sat down, shaking his head. “You aren’t going to like what I have to say. Not everything can be said in two sentences, Zhou… However, please take a deep breath to prepare yourself.”

  “I’m more than prepared,” Qui Zhou replied, “However, if my brother did something stupid again… I already know… He’s been staying in quill Forest hunting for ancestors second treasure right? What did he do this time?”

  “Just don’t do anything rash Zhou, and promise not to tell your father… I’ll do it—”

  “What the hell could it be that you want to talk to my father?” Zhou looked noticeably more worried, “The last time you talked to him you were ten! How bad could it be?”

  Lu Tu cleared her throat, and pointed raised her hand. “I’ll tell him… Tan Jin… you said we didn’t have time to talk about this remember… Your brother fell in love with a girl named Cai Kun… She’s going to try and take over the city from your father… If we don’t tell him about it, we’re all going to die.”

  “What! The Cai Dynasty would never take interest in such a small city, and I’ve never even heard of her…”

  Qui Zhou realized he raised his voice a little to much, transitioning to a whisper.

  At the same time upstairs, the noise on the bed got louder and louder.

  Tao Bo knocked over the candles on the bed, starting a small fire as Sun Lim bit down her lip with tears coming out of her eyes.

  A waitress worriedly knocked on the door, rushing in as Tao Bo walked out.

  “You’re lucky you’re in the second stage of the Mortal Condensation Realm or otherwise you’d be dead… I don’t know who payed for you for me but tell them I said thankyou…. I hope you regain movement in your feet.”

  Sun Lim held out her hand and began crying, tears falling down her face.

  Looking at the waitress next to her, she tapped her on the arm, begging her to give a ‘warning.’

  “Mam… Everything is going to be okay… We’ll get the healer right away.” The attendant misinterpreted her meaning. “I’m sorry you had to—”

  “No… it’s not that… please… please ring the bell… Hurry!”

  The attendant got up and slowly walked out into the hallway, heading over to the front desk as Tao Bo walked down the stairs.

  Tan Jin was still in the room as Wen Wen danced in the background. Her silhouette was as stunning as it was before. However, Tao Bo didn’t have patience for it.

  As he opened the door, a bell rung causing him to turn around.

  Chapter 14: Parting

  Qui Kang and officer Han Fen looked out at the forest.

  They were standing in front of Quill Mansion by the waterfall in back of his territory. Five women were dropping platters on a table as they sat underneath the chiffon umbrellas and dined on a knitted cloth.

  “There is a chance we might have to part ways soon, Qui Kang,” Han Fen said, cutting into the steak. “Unfortunately, we’ve received a letter form the Cai dynasty itself… If we don’t follow their order, they’ll kill us all.”

  “You called me out to have dinner to break up our Three-hundred-year family tradition,” Kang laughed, passing
him a beer. “You’ve been our families greatest ally for over two centuries… What could the Cai Dynasty want with a little Sect Like the Hans?”

  To say they had been together would be an understatement.

  Han Fen’s grandfather and Qui Kang’s Grandfather had been fisherman on the same boat.

  On a night with the winds pushing the boat adrift, and when they found the treasure, they promised to never betray each other.

  Generations had passed, and they’d built a city in a fisherman’s village named after the quill on the rod string. Because of that Quill, the Qui family named all of their properties after it. Hence, the sheer shock on Kang’s face was not without merit.

  “You have to be joking? What could the Cai Dynasty want with a bunch of mortal realm officers? Are you not able to tell me even if your drunk?”

  “I’m just giving you a friendly warning… When this cup is empty, we will be enemies… I already had five cousins of my daughter killed today… Five of my own nephews’ own flesh and blood were slaughtered in order to prove a point… I have to go… However, when I do, promise me you’ll leave.”

  “That’s not something I can do, Fen… As your best friend since childhood, I promise you whomever is impersonating the cai will be found out! We’re over 10,000 miles away from their Capital! No one would want this city! IT’s full of old men and gangsters!”

  “That’s not my problem,” Han Fen dropped down his glass, breaking the remaining shards all over the table. “I’ll tell you one last thing… Unless you break through to the third realm of the foundation Cleansing Stage, even your precious bastard will rot.”

  Han Fen waved his hand backwards, stopping every ounce of his body that wanted to look back. Once again, the clouds began to fizzle out with rain as the waitresses rushed in to pick up the broken class.

  The stars in the sky still somehow managed to pierce through those clouds.

  The melancholy in the air spread out as Qui Kang slammed down his hands, tossing the table at han Fen as he tried to exit the door.

  “Damn it! What’s the point of letting you leave! If you’re my enemy, then you shall die tonight!”

  ….

  Tao Bo opened up the door as Tan Jin gulped down a glass of wine.

  His two soul Beasts merged into his body as he started to glow with two flames.

  Qui Zhou immediately stood up, holding up his hands as Tao bo charged forward. Thrusting his arm to the side, qui Zhou burst through two sets of bamboo doors before his body crashed into the wall.

  “You little arrogant piece of shit!” Tao Bo laughed, drawing out a large blade as he stared into Tan Jin’s nonchalant eyes. “Even in the face of death, you still sit down and don’t even try to run?”

  “I’m not running anywhere.. do you think just because I’m in the seventh Realm, I can’t take you down with me? If you dare attack me, I promise to end your life with mine.”

  “Very well!” Tao Bo pointed to the doorway, “I’ve always respected you kid, and I don’t get payed enough to break anything else tonight… We can have a talk outside.”

  “Lu Tu… go ensure Qui Zhou didn’t lose his spine against the wall… Afterwards, head back to the Warehouse… I’ll meet you there…”

  “Wait, but… what…. What are you doing? We can all fight him?” Lu Tu started to cry, grabbing his chest. “The moon isn’t red tonight… What’s the point of spilling bloodshed in the rain?”

  “Now!” Tan Jin said, getting up and walking out of the doorway, exiting into the yard. “Sorry about that… Tao Bo… I still remembered you training me as a kid for a second. It’s a shame you have turned into my evil uncle.”

  “More like I get paid to protect that little runt… In three seconds, I’m going to attack,”

  “Two… One!”

  Tao Bo rushed forward summoning a metal rod out of his hand as his body glowed black. A little spider merged in with his body, making his attack twenty percent faster.

  Tan Jin twisted his body, hopping backwards as another eight quick metal rods hampered his every movement.

  The battlefield was just concrete and grass.

  Dodging again to the side, tan Jin bent his knees before he jumped in the air. Seeing him floating up, Tao Bo laughed before a poll slammed directly into his chest.

  Boom!

  Tan Jin’s arms curved in as blood burst out of his mouth. Floating back towards the wall, he grunted as his body somehow flipped in the air returning him to his balance.

  Sliding into the floor, he catapulted off his left foot and sent out a flurry of waves of water energy surging forward.

  Tao Bo merely held out his hand as he laughed proudly, wiping them out of the air with a quick motion of his hand.

  “Heh, you may be able to beat someone in the ninth realm little boy… However, I’m about to reach the eleventh mortal Condensation REalm! To kill such a talented sprout, ruins all the joy I have in my days.. However, it’s over.”

  “Not quite,” Qui Zhou burst blood out of his mouth, limping as he walked out of the door. “Spread,” he said, patting his bear spirit on the head as Tao bo laughed.

  “Heh, what are you doing, Qui Zhou? I’ll take you to your dad for punishment later? It’s not like fighting with him will help the situation.”

  Qui Zhou shook his head, pointing at the growing purple snake as it spread up tao Bo’s arm.

  “You remember that vine from the other day? The one you said was useless because if someone pulled it, you’d be dead… Well… that very same grab you used to pull me towards you caused a root to get stuck in your hand.”

  “Now that it’s planted… you can either surrender or die… Either way, without the antidote, and two days for that seed to grow, you can kiss your cultivation goodbye.”

  “Hmph,” Tao Bo tossed aside his sword, bowing on his knee. “Since when did you turn into a smaller and fatter and smarter version of your dad… What do you two want me to do?”

  “Protect as we go see his father,” Tan Jin said, bleeding as he got up from the floor. Slapping his hand against Qui Zhou’s back, the two laughed as they looked at each other.

  “Heh, I had no idea you finally developed the poison you little chubby monster! Now how am I going to sleep at night?”

  “What do you mean! You’re already in the seventh realm!” Qui Zhou chided him, patting his back as they both stumbled forward.

  “Idiots,” Tao bo laughed, grapping both of them and tossing them on his shoulder. “At least I now have a reason to like you both again…”

  ….

  Qui Kang and han Fen looked like two tornadoes as they twisted their blades together.

  They were both in the Foundation cleansing Realm, and had similar styles, foot work, and techniques.

  Kang lashed out with his foot, catching fen in the side of the face. He burst into a tree nearly twenty meters away, falling down it as blood slipped out of his mouth.

  “I’m still not as strong as you, Kang,” Han Fen laughed, scrambling to his feet. “Fine, you earned one more secret if you let me live… I’ll tell you what day it’s going to happen.”

  ‘What’s going to happen, fen? The day cows are going to fly in the sky with pigs and deer are going to grow fat and meaty?”
