Andy Yue was very angry not because of the slap but that Zhong Wu misunderstood him. He saw that the old man was very gentle and caring and it must be a very grave misunderstanding that such a man became so angry.
When he was going he saw the happy faces of Haoqiang Lam and Feng Xiao. He understood the entire situation. Apparently, they had insitgated master, manipulated him to thinking that Andy was taking advantage of Reba.
He immediately went into a rage but controlled it. It was not the right time. He will pay them everything back. He will return them both his and Reba's humiliation.
. . .
In his room, Andy was sitting on the chair, looking dejected. He was sad that Master was angry at him. He was also sad for another reason. He saw that Reba Long stood shocked as Zhong Wu accused Andy Yue of taking advantage of her. She might have thought that Andy was trying to take advantage of her otherwise Zhong Wu wouldn't have reacted that way.
The thought that Reba might see him as something else, as a pervert, as a sexual maniac pains his heart.
He was feeling suffocated so he went outside the clinic. He saw that patients were entering and going. He wanted to go inside the infirmary but he decided it is best to explain everything to him tomorrow morning.
He strolled outside the clinic and roamed the area. He suddenly decided to go the mountain on the back of the clinic. He was finding a place to cultivate and he might practice there.
He went through the forest and saw a scene which shocked him. He saw that a man lying on the ground, probably dead and a cheetah which was glaring at the body. he found that the cheetah was a low level demon which was equivalent to a human valley master.
"Oye !!!", Andy Yue yelled at the animal. The cheetah shifted her gaze towards Andy.
The cheetah roared and pounced on Andy Yue. He tried to dodge but soon found himself pressed under the body of cheetah.
The cheetah tried to bite Andy's throat but he held her mouth with his hands.
"Go to hell", Andy yelled and kicked the Cheetah off from him. She roared and again targeted Andy's head. She pounced on Andy but to her surprise Andy caught hold of her limb. Andy infused True Qi on the limb.
"Crack"
The cheetah lay on the ground, Growling and wailing in pain. Andy broke her limb.
Andy was going to kill her but suddenly stopped. He took pity on the animal. He decided not to kill her.
"Meeoowww !!!", the cheetah wailed in her high pitch voice. Andy Yue saw fear in her Eyes. he held the injured limb and began to infuse true Qi in it.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you" , Andy said as it stroked her head. Surprisingly the cheetah stopped growling as if she understood his words.
Andy continued to infuse true Qi into her limb then joined the broken bone.
"You are okay but it will take three months to regain your speed and combat effectiveness.", Andy Yue said while stroking her fur. The Cheetah understood his concern and purred.
Andy Yue instructed her to get inside the storage ring and the Cheetah, like an obedient pet followed and entered the ring.
"You will stay there until you are cured. But don't worry, I will ocassionally let you out."
Andy Yue walked towards towards the dead body. He searched his body and found a storage ring. He searched the ring and found two swords and two first grade potion. One was the potion to replenish stamina and one was the potion to resist diseases. He concluded that the man was an alchemist and may be an weapon - refiner.
"He didn't came here for nothing. There must be something deep inside the forest."
Andy Yue went deep inside the forest and found a strange place. It was a cave. There was nothing noteworthy but his intuition told him to search the place. he searched the place.
After hours of searching, he found nothing. He was getting disappointed but he found that the ground Under his feet is strange. It is emmitting a faint golden light.
Andy Yue immediately dug the ground and found a Golden colored sword. He touched the magnificient sword and put it out of the ground.
Strangely the sword was continously trembling in his hands as if resisting him. Andy Yue found that he cannot use the sword but it is something powerful and it must be the reason that guy came here. Andy Yue thought no more and put the sword in the storage ring.
"It resists me. When my strength increases I might use the sword." Andy decided to cultivate first.
. . .
Andy Yue found the perfect place to cultivate. He ran through the medical bible. He found that to make a breakthrough into the valley breaking stage, one has to forge his own divine cauldron. He instantly remembered that Qingdi Yue gave him his golden tripod, his inheritence.
Anyone would be happy at this. It saves them the time to forge his own tripod and can quickly and effortlessly breakthough. But Andy Yue disliked the idea. He strived for perfection. He believed that strength cannot be measured by realm.
Andy Yue was an avid thinker. He likes to go outside habitual thinking.
"Is there a rule that a martial artist can have only one Divine cauldron. If he can forge one cauldron, he can forge another...", Andy Yue thought
Suddenly a voice rang in his divine consciousness.
"It is possible but it is risky"
"Who are You ? ", Andy Yue was surprised
"You don't need to know it now. But for now, I will answer most of your queries."
"Then, why can't I forge another cauldron ?"
"you can... but it is risky. You can easily forge another divine cauldron inspite of your existing cauldron but then during the forging of cauldron, you have to integrate it with the existing cauldron. Forging a cauldron is never an easy task. No matter what realm you are, forging a new cauldron makes you weak.
And unfortunately you have to integrate the cauldron with your existing cauldron during the process of forging it. You have to do it in one go otherwise it will be useless.
Now, the major problem lies here. Integrating two cauldrons is an unstable task. If during the process, you make any mistake the whole system will explode killing you in the process. It will kill your body and soul in one go.
So please think about it twice before attempting .", the voice warned.
Andy Yue was afraid but he decided to try. If he succeeds, he will break the common norms and will get an unprecedented leap in his power and cultivation.
"I know its risk but its worth the try."
"I hope you will be okay...", the voice faded.
