Uncle Gui swiftly took out a bunch of Spirit Stones from the Universe Ring and handed them to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian took a deep breath, started to circulate Tinder Sutra’s Dharmic formulation again, and absorbed more Spirit Qi.
Had Shen Tian been cultivating a Golden Core Qi Refinement technique, he would not act so crazily. The reckless absorption of unrefined Spirit Qi in a short time was no different than committing suicide.
Nevertheless, Godfiend Body Tempering techniques were completely different, as the Spirit Qi would not reach the practitioner’s dantian.
As Shen Tian continued to circulate the Spirit Qi through his body, he experienced great pain again. The Spirit Qi was bashing Shen Tian’s body, making his muscles tougher and stronger.
Part of the Spirit Qi dissolved into the medicinal concoction and entered Shen Tian’s body too. He could feel that his entire body was very energetic—every cell in his body was screaming in pain and joy at the same time!
Shen Tian understood that he was very close to breaking the shell that was holding him back. Thus, he now felt thrilled by the pain!
Wow! My perspiration is slowly pushing out the accumulated impurities in my body!
The feeling of my body getting stronger is amazing! No wonder so many people are too engrossed with cultivating!
...
100 Spirit Stones!
200 Spirit Stones!
300!
400!
500!
Shen Tian spent a total of 500 Spirit Stones and the entire night to reach the 1st Firmament of Body Tempering!
Shen Tian felt very relieved and relaxed while his body felt refreshed.
He clenched his fist and felt power flowing in his body.
Swoosh!
Shen Tian stood up from the wooden barrel. The water had become light green in color as most of the medicinal concoction had already been absorbed.
...
“Uncle Gui, eat this!”
Shen Tian laughed and gave Eunuch Gui a powerful punch. It was so powerful that it generated wind currents in the surroundings.
Boom!
Eunuch Gui stopped the punch with his right palm effortlessly. However, its power left him bewildered.
“That’s a powerful punch!. That’s the Godfiend Body Tempering System for you. It’s very suited for close-quarters combat!”
Shen Tian smiled and said, “How was it, Uncle Gui?”
Eunuch Gui nodded and said, “The punch carried the force of about 500 kilograms! It is comparable to a 4th Firmament Qi Refinement cultivator’s punch. A normal 1st Firmament Qi Refinement cultivator is no match for Your Highness!”
Although Qi Refinement cultivators had a longer range, Body Tempering cultivators were more powerful at the equivalent realm. Only top-tier Golden Core geniuses could stand their ground against them.
Shen Tian had enough power to beat a 1st Firmament Qi Refinement cultivator easily.
Shen Tian smiled. “Seems like this Tinder Body-Tempering Art is not as useless as I thought. This cheap book turned out to be quite useful.”
The only drawback was the high cost of cultivating it. He had spent 500 Spirit Stones to break through, as well another 300 Spirit Stones for the medicinal bath!
He had only managed to reach the 1st Firmament of Body Tempering after consuming 800 Spirit Stones!
Had he been cultivating a Golden Core Qi Refinement technique, he would have reached the 9th Firmament of Qi Refinement!
Naturally, with more than ten times the expenditure, effortlessly beating same-tier peers was sensible.
I wonder if other Godfiend Body Tempering techniques are this costly as well. Too bad, I cannot find another Godfiend Body Tempering technique in the palace.
Shen Tian shook his head and sighed.
He was fortunate that he had the special power of seeing others’ halos, which allowed him to earn money by assessing ores. Otherwise, he would be unable to cultivate the Tinder Sutra. In order to cultivate that technique, it didn’t matter how gifted one was. All that mattered was how rich they were!
...
Seems like the Godfiend Body Tempering System suits me. I will continue cultivating the Tinder Sutra for the time being!
Shen Tian dried himself and wore a new shirt.
His body, which seemed quite slim at first, was now buffed up a little. The muscles were more prominent, and he looked much better in that way.
Although he had not slept all night, Shen Tian did not feel tired at all. He felt he was filled with strength and energy.
The sun is almost up. Time for me to get something to eat and go out for more providence!
Shen Tian picked up his banners and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a scream came from next door.
“HELP!”
Then, someone dashed out from the windows.
The shadow ran away quickly in the darkness, carrying a woman on his shoulder!
...
“It’s Miss Ling’er!” Eunuch Gui had a serious look on his face as he asked, “Should we chase?”
Shen Tian answered, “Of course! We cannot let anything happen to her!”
Eunuch Gui smiled.
Seems like the prince likes Little Spirit Fairy after all. Now that she is in danger, he can not hide it anymore!
Eunuch Gui was not so worried about the one who kidnapped Little Spirit Fairy. According to his observation, he was, at best, an 8th Firmament Qi Refinement cultivator. He was confident in defeating him; after all, his Demon Book of Hyuga was formidable!
In Eunuch Gui’s mind, it was a good thing that she was in danger, and the prince was concerned over her safety. At least, he now knew what was on the prince’s mind. Thus, he chased after the kidnapper swiftly.
...
Shen Tian did not know what Eunuch Gui was thinking. He was not so worried because he liked Little Spirit Fairy.
As a good youth of the 21st century that had cultivated his socialistic core values, Shen Tian felt obligated to save her.
Well, that was bullsh*t.
The true reason Shen Tian wanted to save her was that he had seen an image on Little Spirit Fairy’s halo!
It was right at the moment when her kidnapper escaped.
What did that show?
It meant that Little Spirit Fairy should not encounter any danger this time. In fact, she would encounter a big fortuitous opportunity!
...
So far, Shen Tian had only met two individuals with red-halo fortuitous opportunities. The first one had been Qin Gao’s Demon Book of Hyuga. It was the most prestigious skill among the eunuchs, and even the Imperial Sutra could not compare to it.
As for the second one, it was Li Lian’er’s Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed. It was said that the calabash could protect the branch for generations.
Most importantly, both times he had freeloaded and shared their opportunities, the black mist surrounding Shen Tian’s halo had dispersed significantly.
Shen Tian felt that if he encountered red-halo opportunities two more times, his halo would turn completely white!
By then, his bad luck would take a turn for the better, and he would finally be able to enjoy a normal life!
Shen Tian felt exhilarated when thinking that he would not lose his life due to some random, unlucky incident. As such, he must involve himself in Little Spirit Fairy’s fortuitous opportunity!
...
As Eunuch Gui increased his speed, Shen Tian could feel the wind howling beside his ear.
They were closing in on Little Spirit Fairy’s kidnapper.
Finally, Eunuch Gui caught up with them on the edge of a cliff, east of the Myriad Spirit Garden.
The man was wearing a black suit, and his eyes were cold.
“Let go of her right now!”
Eunuch Gui scoffed, stood in front of him, and unsheathed his purple sword immediately.
Purple Feather Soft Sword was a gift from Shen Tian, and it cost 100 Spirit Stones. Its user could manipulate their Spirit Qi to change the sword’s shape, putting the opponent at a disadvantage as it was hard to dodge its attacks.
This was the best sword for Eunuch Gui before he reached Foundation Establishment. Then, he could control the sword with his mind.
In other words, with this sword, Eunuch Gui would be invincible in the Qi Refinement realm.
Unexpectedly, the black-clothed man seemed very relaxed and quite disdainful!
He threw Little Spirit Fairy to the side and laughed at Shen Tian.
“Haha! No man can resist a beautiful woman’s charms! Just like I expected! Shen Aotian, you are here after all!”
