Chapter 13
According to the calculations of the records in the ancient books, it would take three years to cultivate to Rank 2, nine years to Rank 3, and 30 years to become a Rank 4 Wizard . A person would probably drain all of his blood and flesh until all that was left of his body was a skeleton before he could cultivate to Rank 5 .
At this point of thought, Zhang Lisheng would have lost hope if he had not obtained the cultivation methods from the Witchcraft's Gate of Death for Rank 2 to Rank 4 .
"The road ahead is long but I… sigh . " He dictated half of the classic, motivational proverb with a long face . Looking at the dim moonlight outside, he decided not to turn on the lights . He returned to his bedroom as he walked in the dark, depressed . He slowly fell asleep after rolling around in bed .
A night went by again . The weather remained hazy with pouring rain on the third day in Guawo Village . Zhang Lisheng could only stay at home and cultivate witchcraft the entire day again .
The moon shone brightly in the sky in the middle of the night, and the dark clouds that were lingering had finally faded away . The crisp chirps of birds and worms replaced the irritating roar of the falling rain . The chirping covered the entire mountain village once again .
Zhang Lisheng's mood changed together with the weather from gloom to delight . He took out the stove and cooked a whole succulent hen to reward himself . It had been two days since he had used the stove and he cooked a full jar . He would head into the jungle to temper another wizard worm early in the morning tomorrow .
He put out the fire on the stove after cooking the chicken soup . He opened the porcelain jar and subconsciously decided to serve the hen into two different portions and bowls . Suddenly, he recalled that his father had passed away so what he wanted to do would be completely meaningless .
Zhang Lisheng took a deep breath and subconsciously refused to think about that again . Holding the porcelain jar, he drank the boiling chicken soup in tiny sips while blowing it as he walked into the central room of the old house .
Just after he took a few steps, with the help of the bright moonlight, he saw an agile black shadow cross the wall and leap into his courtyard out of nowhere .
After crossing the wall and entering the courtyard, the black shadow unexpectedly came face to face with the owner of the house . Both were equally stunned—it was evident from Zhang Lisheng's look of surprise as he held the porcelain clay jar in his hands . After all, he was just drinking soup in the chilly courtyard in the middle of the night .
However, the intruder reacted immediately and dashed toward Zhang Lisheng at an alarming pace . Judging by the person's agile skill, he had to have a deep kungfu foundation .
If Zhang Lisheng was just a normal young man, the shadow might have knocked him out in one hit, or even break his neck by taking advantage of the element of surprise that he had on Zhang Lisheng . However, since he had become a wizard, Zhang Lisheng was much calmer during such critical moments .
He did not feel fear at all as he tossed the porcelain jar that was filled with boiling chicken soup at the attacker . At the same time, he backpedaled quickly without even turning his head around .
The black shadow did not dodge at all and threw his fist directly at the porcelain jar that was flung at him . It seemed like he wanted to capture Zhang Lisheng first no matter what .
However, just before the porcelain jar broke, he felt the boiling heat in the jar . He dodged and avoided the boiling hot soup at the very last second . It was a close call .
Seizing the opportunity as the attacker dodged the porcelain jar, Zhang Lisheng immediately turned around, and in just two steps, he rushed into the kitchen, locked the wooden door tight, and agilely put on the latches .
In the kitchen, there was a small window that faced the courtyard, and through it, Zhang Lisheng could clearly see what was happening outside .
Zhang Lisheng allowed his emotions to sink in after escaping danger temporarily . He did not panic and cry for help, instead, he walked toward the window in big steps without any expression on his face . Through the glass, he looked at the black shadow that intruded into his property and attacked him unprovoked . He started chanting an incantation that went 'pst shh…' in his mouth while staring at the black shadow .
No matter the reason, since he dared to break into the Zhang family's old house and displease the owner, he should be prepared to die .
Meanwhile, the black shadow in the courtyard did not sense any danger at all . He neither said anything as he saw Zhang Lisheng dash into the kitchen nor did he continue to chase after or attack him . Instead, he brisk walked toward the old house's entrance and casually removed the latches .
When the door opened, a young man jumped into the courtyard . He giggled softly and said, "Tiesi's actions are still so quick even when he's on vacation, he must have missed doing this . "
As the black shadow opened the door, one could catch a glimpse of his face under the bright moonlight . Although there were a few stripes of black paint on his face, one could faintly see that his expression was very cool . "Dayan, start working . Stop messing around . "
"How is this considered 'working', we're just here to pick up stuff . "
Following close behind the young man nicknamed Dayan was a middle-aged man with two stripes of black paint under his eyes . As he walked into the courtyard, he reprimanded his overactive partner with a deep voice, "Dayan, please be serious when you're doing something important . Go . "
"Third Brother, I'll go get the stuff now . " Dayan dared to mess around with Tiesi when he was doing something serious but he dared not talk back to Third Brother . He immediately put away his cheeky expression and swiftly walked into the central room in the old house that was wide open .
