Chapter 495 Shifting the focus? Old-fashioned?
Soon, that power surged into Yang Jian's body, seeping into his meridians and beginning to cleanse his bones, flesh, and internal organs...
"Ahhh..."
Under the impact, Yang Jian couldn't help but cry out in pain.
In truth, Yang Jian felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace, burning from the inside out.
Upon seeing this scene, the Nether Phoenix beside the Netherworld Blood Pool cried out anxiously:
"Don't resist!"
"Let those powers enter your body."
"It will help you temper your body and eliminate impurities!"
Upon hearing Mingfeng's words, Yang Jian, inside the blood pool, gritted his teeth, then relaxed his body, allowing the power to surge in.
"boom……"
Next, the burning sensation became increasingly intense.
Yang Jian's skin began to turn red, and at first glance, it looked as if it had been burned.
Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, dripping into the pool of blood and creating ripples.
Seeing Yang Jian's pained expression, Ming Feng felt a pang of heartache.
She had also been baptized in this blood pool, so she knew how painful the process of baptism in the blood pool was.
"Fellow Daoist Yang Jian, are you... are you alright?"
After a moment of hesitation, Mingfeng asked softly.
Yang Jian gritted his teeth and replied in a trembling voice:
"I...I'm fine."
Seeing this, Mingfeng realized that Yang Jian was relying entirely on his willpower to hold on, and she felt even more heartache for him.
She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said:
"You...you can talk to me!"
"Distract yourself, and maybe the pain won't be so bad."
The baptism of this Netherworld Blood Pool is extremely domineering.
There's no need to concentrate on resisting anything; instead, you should open your mind and let the blood energy wash over you.
Upon hearing Mingfeng's words, Yang Jian slowly opened his eyes and then looked at Mingfeng by the pool.
Enveloped in a mist of blood, Mingfeng's face became somewhat blurred.
After a moment of silence, Yang Jian stammered:
"Say...say what?"
Upon hearing this, Mingfeng paused for a moment, then quickly pursed her lips and replied:
"Tell me about your childhood?"
What were you like when you were a child?
Yang Jian was taken aback and fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally responded:
"I...I was very...very naughty when I was little!"
Mingfeng hurriedly said:
"Naughty? How so?"
Yang Jian didn't rush to answer Ming Feng. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked like he was reminiscing, obviously recalling some interesting things from his childhood.
After a slight pause, he finally spoke:
"Once, I climbed up the big locust tree in my yard to raid a bird's nest, but I accidentally fell from the tree and broke my arm."
"My mother held me and cried for a long time, heartbroken."
My father scolded me, saying I deserved it.
"Later, my older brother went to find some liniment for bruises and sprains..."
As Yang Jian narrated, Ming Feng listened intently.
After Yang Jian finished speaking, Ming Feng asked with a curious expression:
"Your older brother?"
"Yang Jiao?"
Previously, when they were at Guanjiangkou, Yang Jian had told Mingfeng about his background.
Mingfeng also knew that Yang Jian had an older brother, Yang Jiao, and a younger sister, Yang Chan.
Yang Jian nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Um."
"My older brother loves me very much. Every time I get into trouble, he takes the blame for me."
"When I was bullied, he was always the one who stood up for me."
"Unfortunately..."
At this point, Yang Jian stopped abruptly, as if he had thought of something.
Seeing this, Mingfeng quickly asked:
"What's the pity?"
Yang Jian sighed helplessly, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes, before he said:
"It's a pity that my elder brother has been taken to the Western Religion and his whereabouts are unknown."
"However, one day, I will definitely find him, bring him back, and reunite our family!"
As he said this, Yang Jian's eyes were full of determination.
Hearing what Yang Jian said, Ming Feng felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and said:
"Yang Jian!"
"You will definitely find your older brother."
"If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know, and I... I'll do my best to assist you!"
Upon hearing Mingfeng's words, Yang Jian felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
At this moment, Mingfeng changed the subject and asked again:
"By the way, what about your sister, Yang Chan?"
"What kind of person is she?"
Upon hearing Mingfeng mention Yang Chan, a hint of tenderness flashed in Yang Jian's eyes, and he continued:
"Chan'er is very sensible."
"She could do laundry and cook when she was very young."
"Even though I'm just a child myself, I act like a little adult."
"..."
Then, Yang Jian chatted with Ming Feng.
The pain caused by the blood and qi being washed away gradually subsided without my noticing.
Just as Yang Jian entered the Netherworld Blood Pool for baptism, at the Yang family's old residence in Guanjiang Estuary!
Since Yang Jian left, Chen Changsheng and Yang Chan have been staying with Yao Ji.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
A tea table was set up under the old locust tree. Yao Ji sat in a rattan chair, holding a palm-leaf fan in her jade hand, gently waving it.
Chen Changsheng and Yang Chan chatted idly with Yao Ji on the side.
"Mother, do you know about the Dark Phoenix?"
Suddenly, Yang Chan asked this question.
"Um?"
"The Dark Phoenix?"
Yao Ji was taken aback, then shook her head and asked tentatively:
Who is this person?
Before Yang Chan could reply, Chen Changsheng suddenly spoke up:
"Mother-in-law, this Nether Phoenix is the daughter of the Styx Ancestor, the princess of the Netherworld Blood Sea."
"During the previous battle at Momoyama, she led members of the Ashura clan to come to our aid."
After Chen Changsheng said this, Yao Ji immediately understood. She didn't know Ming Feng, but she was very familiar with the old quasi-saint, the Styx Ancestor.
That was a powerful being that existed in ancient times.
After a slight pause, Yao Ji frowned slightly and looked at Yang Chan with a puzzled expression, saying:
"Chan'er, why did you suddenly bring up this Dark Phoenix?"
Yang Chan smiled and said:
"Mother, my second brother likes Mingfeng!"
"Moreover, Mingfeng also has feelings for Second Brother."
"Otherwise, why do you think she led the Asura clan to Momoyama to provide support?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Ji suddenly understood and smiled, saying:
"Erlang is an honest and kind man. If he can really become a Daoist partner with Mingfeng, it would not be a bad thing."
"It's that Styx Ancestor..."
At this point, Yao Ji frowned slightly and added:
"That's a terrifying, bloodthirsty being!"
Seeing Yao Ji frowning, Yang Chan quickly said:
"Mother, you won't forbid Second Brother from being with Ming Feng just because the Styx Ancestor is a bloodthirsty person, will you?"
Upon hearing Yang Chan's words, Yao Ji smiled bitterly and replied:
"What's wrong?"
"In Chan'er's eyes, is her mother such a rigid person?"
