《The Lazy Young Master》 Chapter 1 - New Life "Where am i?" Wang Tian looked around and everything around him seemed new to him. It looked like an old Chinese home. Suddenly he felt a bursting pain in his head, many memories of an unknown person entered his head. It took him a while to figure out what was happening. After Zhang Li died, his soul transmigrated into this world and occupied the body of a 14 year old boy named Wang Tian. Wang Tian''s parents have passed away in a car accident when he was 3 years old. He lived with his grandmother in a small village. His grandmother took care of him after their parents death, Wang Tian had always been a introvert. He was always bullied by the kids in the village. Yesterday all the kids were playing near the lake. The leader of these group of kids is the 15 year old Song Li, he always loved to bully Wang Tian. He knew that Wang Tian can''t swim, yet he wanted to play around with him and decided to scare him. He thought that the water was shallow and pushed him into the lake. After everyone realized that Wang Tian was struggling in the water they called for help from the villagers. Song Li was scared that others would find out that he pushed Wang Tian into the lake, so he immediately ran away to his home. "How can someone not know how to swim!". Wang Tian was completely dumbfounded, he thought that the owner of the body was so dumb. Then he suddenly realized from his new memories that in this world, not many knew how to swim. Unlike in his previous world where people didn''t even need to swim, they can just fly around on their flying swords. Before his death, Zhang Li lived in a higher level world in the Divine Realm. People cultivated Spiritual Qi to cultivate and soar the heavens. In his previous life he was born with naturally blocked meridians, thus he was not able to cultivate. But he didn''t give up and choose the path of Alchemy, Arrays and Heavenly Blacksmith to raise his power. No matter how hard he tried he wasn''t able to overcome the strength of cultivators, before pure strength everything else became non existant. He had lived for 240 years researching a way to gain a power that exceeds that of a cultivator, He almost succeeded in making his dreams true when he developed a exoskeleton armor that takes the cores of demonic beasts and converts it into heaven and earth Qi. With his invention he can overcome all the trails and become a powerful existence in this immortal world. But everything doesn''t go the way we want to. When the super sects of the world gained this information they immediately moved out their elite forces, no matter what they want to get their hands on this treasure. If they can mass produce this they can become the most powerful sect and rule over the Divine Realm. "How dare you old foxes to try to steal my invention! This is the result of my blood and sweat of my entire life", Zhang Li was utterly devastated. After researching his whole life on it and putting all his blood and sweat into his dreams, he never thought that his creation would be stolen by others.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "How dare you mere mortal talk back to us immortals! You are a mere ant. Hand over the treasure and we will grant you a death with complete corpse", said the Thousand Immortals Sect Master. He was disgusted to talk with a mortal, if not for the protection mechanism, he would have squashed him like an ant and would take away the treasure for his clan members to analyze. "Whats the use of talking to this ant! lets just kill him and take the treasure it from him", Thunder Devil Sect Master was really impatient. He was already planning on how to steal away the treasure from under their noses. "Its not so simple, He has laid the Nine Heavens Thunder formation in here. It may not be able to harm us, but it will destroy those important research material inside the lab", said Heavens Array Dao Master "It doesn''t matter anymore. I won''t let you evil creatures taint my creation", Zhang Li never thought that he would be forced to such extent. Although he had created the mechanism that will let him achieve his dreams, he was forced to destroy it. It was heart wrenching, but he would not back down in front of any power. He activated the Exoskeleton armor and inserted a Abyssal Demonic creatures core into it. The armor started to emit bright light that can outshine the sun. It looked as if time froze for him. That bright light was the last thing he remembered. I don''t know how my soul even survived from that explosion and how was i able to reincarnate into this boys body, Just what kind of world is this. Is there no one in this world that cultivates Qi? Zhang Li was quite perplexed over this. "No matter what. Heaven has given me another chance. I will not chase after power in this life and live my life to the fullest", to chase his dreams, Zhang Li didn''t live his live like a normal person. He kept on researching, without giving any care for the world. He then heard some footsteps outside. Someone opened the door and walked in, "Lil'' Tian, oh my god. You are finally awake, I was so worried, its good that you woke up. God has blessed us! God has blessed us! you are fine. Nothing else matters", his grandma was crying like a child. After Wang Tian''s parents died, her grandma took care of him like a precious doll. He was the reason for her happiness and sole reason for her to live on. Zhang Li felt surge of emotions in his heart, for the first time in his life he has experienced familial love. The way she cared for him has moved his heart. "No matter what, I wont let anyone harm my family", Zhang Li promised in his heart. He would treasure the people that are close to him in this life. He won''t let any danger befall them. "Don''t worry grandma, i''m fine. Look i don''t even have any injuries!", he started jumping around just to reassure her. "How could you say that. You almost died in that lake! No matter what i will take more care of you from now. I won''t let any danger befall you again" Zhang Li scratched his head, he didn''t know what else to say, "Trust me grandma, i won''t let you worry about my safety anymore. I promise that i won''t get into trouble anymore" He sent away his grandma saying that he was fine. His grandma left him to take some rest and went to prepare dinner. Zhang Li has accepted to live his life as Wang Tian from now, Zhang Li is no more. He immediately checked his own body condition and started to analyze. "Shit! why am i so weak and i can''t even move around much in this body. I need to quickly earn some money and start refining potions to improve my body condition." "But first....i need to take some rest." The life of the Lazy young master has now started. What awaits him in the future is something he never expected. Chapter 2 - Fishing like crazy "Li''l Tian Wake up! Its already 11 now. How long do you plan to sleep. Come down and have some breakfast" Wang Tian got down and quickly had his breakfast. He took the money that the original owner stashed in the closet and went outside to visit the market. He was searching for herbs that could help him improve his body. He entered a store that the original body was familiar with, "Hello Uncle Feng, do you have any wild ginseng in your store?" "Oh Tian, what are you doing here? I heard you were injured and why do you what the ginseng? Did your grandma asked you to buy it." This Uncle Feng is very good, i didn''t even had to think of a reason for asking the herbs, "I''m fine uncle. Grandma told me to buy these ginseng, as i just got inured, she wanted to make me some herbal soup." "Good thing then. As i know your grandma very well, I''ll give you a discount. It''ll only be a 100 yuan. What else would would you like to have" What!!? Just this wild ginseng costs so much! Looks like i need to get my hands on some money now. "Looks like i forgot to take money from grandma, I''ll be back in a while uncle Feng", He rushed out of the shop. He had never been so embarrassed in his life, over money. Just when he was thinking about how to raise money, a hand landed on his shoulder. "Hey Tian where are you going, Weren''t you injured yesterday? I''ve always warned you to stay away from that group, but you never listen", said Zhang Tie. He was very concerned about Wang Tian. Tian remembered that this was his only friend who always tagged along with the previous him. "I am alright. Where are you going?", he didn''t mind the hand over his shoulder. There were only few people who truly cared about him in this life and Zhang tie was one of them He raised his stick which looked like a fishing pole, "I was going to do some fishing, Come this father will teach you how godly my fishing skills are" Its really not a bad idea, i can buy the herbs that i need using the money from selling the fish. "Keep bragging and see if I don''t break your face, come let''s go, we''ll see who catches more fish", Tian punched his arm and walked forward running towards the lake. "Hey! wait for me....huff huff", Zhang Tie started running after Tian. He didn''t understand how Tian got lively suddenly. Tian went near the lake and caught some earth worms to use as bait. If i infuse a little amount of essence into the earth worm using areca grass, then I''ll be able to attract the fish instantly, there should be no problems, thought tian as he started collecting the areca grass Not long after they started fishing Tian has caught a large fish in his hook. Zang Tie was dumbfounded, he thought that Tian''s luck was simply too good today. They haven''t even started fishing for five minutes and he already caught a fish. "Cheh...Its just dog luck. Just see how big of a fish I''ll catch", Zang Tie grumbled Not long after that he caught another fish....and then another....and then another fish. It looked like as if he is a fish magnet.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. "How the h*ll are you able to catch so many fish!!!" "Its simple, because I''m a God. I just need to think and these fish will crawl to my feet" "Stop bragging you idiot. Hurry up and tell me how you are doing it. Do you even consider me as your brother!", Zhang Tie was going crazy, he wanted to know the secret no matter what. "Call me daddy and I''ll tell you how to catch them." "Youuuu... Just keep bragging, I don''t want to fish anymore, I''m leaving. Bye", Zang Tie was on the verge of crying. "Stop stop stop... I was just kidding brother, when i have something good how can i not share it with my best brother" "That''s more like it. Quick, tell me, how do i catch fish like you" "Just rub this areca grass sap on the Earth worm and let it dry. " Zang Tie wasn''t able to hold much longer and quickly snatched Tian''s bait and tried fishing with it. In a few minutes he was able to catch a large fish. "Hahaha....look how big of a fish this father has caught. Hey brother Tain, how did you find out this method. We came fishing so many times, how come you never showed me this technique" "Idiot, if i knew that already, wouldn''t i have made so much money with fishing already. Now come, lets go sell these fishes in the market" They quickly went to the market with lots of fish they caught and sold them there. Tian was able to earn enough money to buy herbs and still have some left over money, "After i buy the ginseng with this money I''ll still be left with 85 yuan. I think i should buy some catalyst herbs for improving the strength of the solution", he started rushing towards the herb store. "Uncle Feng, i brought the money and also give me a red ferry flower along with it." "That''ll be a total of 136 Yuan. Here take it" Tian quickly went to his home but suddenly remembered that he didn''t have a medical furnace in his home. Not mentioning his home, even in this entire world there might not be a medical furnace for his use. "Looks like I''ll have to try working with a pressure cooker for now. It might be able to simulate the environment of a furnace." After reaching home, he quickly entered the kitchen. His grandmother always goes to her neighbors to gossip, so he can use the kitchen however he wants now. He knew how the cooking stove is operated from his new memories, so he started fire and placed the ginseng, red ferry flower along with other common herbs in the cooker and started cooking them on the stove. He felt weird for using cooking methods for potion refining. "Looks like I''ll have to keep changing my methods, Now that there aren''t any heavenly resources available in this world, there is no option but to search for alternative methods for everything", he patiently waited for any reaction from the pressure cooker. It was normal during the first twenty minutes, but suddenly the pressure cooker made weird sounds. It looked like its gonna explode any moment. Suddenly.....BOOOOOMMMMM. The pressure cooker really exploded. Tian was frightened like h*ll with the sudden explosion, his almost fainted from shock. "Sh*t Why the h*ll did it explode! My heart nearly stopped beating. Who the h*ll designed this kind of dangerous thing as a cooking utensil!!!" The Entire kitchen was covered in smoke. He went toward the cooker and peeped into it. He saw..... Chapter 3 - Who are you? Tian quickly looked into the cooker and he found a black gooey liquid in it. It smelled so bad that he wanted to puke. This smells horrible. If only i had seven layered fragrance roots with me, this wouldn''t have happened. How the h*ll am i going to consume this He took the liquid in it and quickly went to his room. He sat in a meditative pose and consumed the liquid while holding his nose to avoid the unbearable stench. As soon as consumed the liquid, he felt like his throat was on fire. His entire body went limp, it was as if thousands of ants were crawling. He moaned in pain and started to roll his body on the floor. After a while the pain began to subdue and he then sat straight up and began to control the flow of medicine essence in his body. After circulating the essence for three times, his body started to release black sweat from his skin. It was the impurities that lay within every persons body. It might seem like there isn''t any significant changes in his body, but he now possessed the strength of a bull. It was a miracle to see such strength in the body of a 15 year old kid. "The effects of body strengthening solution seems a bit weak. The low grade herbs seem to have little effect in strengthening the body. Well, my current strength seems ok for now." When his grandmother came back home and went into the kitchen, she was horrified by what she saw. Everything was a mess and the pressure cookers lid was stuck to the cracked roof. She was terrified and worried about what happened here and quickly went into Tian''s room. When she opened the door and saw the person sitting on the bed, she was shocked. "Who are you!?" "What do you mean grandma, its me Tian", he was surprised by what she said. "What the...what happened to your face and what is this mess in the kitchen." He was curious and went to look in a mirror. He gasped for breath when he saw his image. His face was painted black and and his hair was standing like a birds nest. "Its nothing grandma, i was just trying to cook something and the cookers lid suddenly came off, but i didn''t get hurt anywhere. I am fine you don''t need to worry", he didn''t know how else to comfort her old grandma. She didn''t know how to respond to him, finally she heaved a sigh saying, "Okay, but don''t do such things again. Your grandma doesn''t have a strong heart to see you get hurt. Quickly have a bath and come down, I''ll cook something for you" He quickly went to have a bath and changed his clothes. When he looked into the mirror he found that his complexion has improved and he gained some muscle growth as well as gotten some good looks. His grandmother thought that he felt a but different but didn''t know in what aspect. She was just happy to see him happy and healthy. After her son and daughter-in-law passed away in the car accident, her heart became weak, She wanted to take good care of her grandson and see him have a happy life. That was all she wished forUnauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. "I''m going out to play grandma. I''ll be back before dinner", he ran off after having his lunch. Tian went to roam around the village and see if he can find something interesting. He was shocked after learning about the technology of this world. Although this technology could not be compared to the Alchemy or Array formations from his world, it still possessed its own charm. "The thing called Nuclear bomb might be able to kill experts up to Heavenly sage realm. It might even be able to injure a Low level Heavenly king. But these weapons power would simply be not match for those in High level Heavenly King or those Heavenly Emperors." After walking around for a while, he saw Song Li coming towards him. He remembered that it was this kid who accidentally killed the previous self. He wanted to teach this kid a lesson. "Well well, look who it is. Useless idiot, how can you be so dumb to jump into the lake without even knowing how to swim....truly a retard!" "Don''t think i don''t remember who pushed me into the lake. You still have to settle some debt with me", he remembered from his memories that Song Li was the one who pushed him into the lake. Although he didn''t mean to harm him, but still he had to do something. Song Li immediately felt fear. He didn''t think that Tian would know that he was the one who pushed him into the lake from behind. He truly wanted to run away right now. "Wha- What are you talking about. Don''t you dare blame me for you stupidity or else i will break your bones", Song Li thought that if he threatened this coward he will immediately follow what he said and will keep quite. "You think i will be scared with your threats. kneel before me and i''ll let this matter go, else be ready to face my fury!" "You dare to talk like that with me, Lets see who''ll kneel to whom" Song Li immediately started to pounce onto Tian but before he could grab him he suddenly disappeared. He felt tinge of fear, when he looked back Tian punched his face fiercely. He felt absolutely terrified. Never in his wildest dreams did he image Tian to be so powerful. Tian kept punching him as if he is a sand bag. Song Li immediately gave up his attitude and immediately kneeled. "St-Stop.....please..... aiyoo....i beg you, please forgive me....aaahhhhh." "Now you''re listening. hmph, Don''t you dare show your haunty side in front of me. Now get out of my sight", Song Li immediately started running away with fear. His bums were radiating pain like waves right now, he didn''t dare think anymore and ran away. Tian started roaming around the village and market. He then went to the nearby fruit plantations and slept under the tree shades. He really enjoyed the view of the forest in front of him. The chirping of birds, with the dancing tree leaves and the breeze of winter felt like heaven for him. He didn''t knew when he fell asleep. When it was about to get dark, he woke up and started to head back home. "This is the life i desire now, lazing around every day and living a carefree life. Hahaha....i really look like a lazy young master", Tian was really happy. He was never this carefree and happy in his previous life, but now he gets to feel and be a real child. When he was nearing his home, he heard someone speaking. "Have you heard about the latest incident. The bandits have once again attacked the merchants that were bringing their goods into the village. Its already the seventh time this month" "Its all because our small village doesn''t even have any enforcing officers, near it or how else do you think they have the guts to do that" Chapter 4 - Bandits When Tian reached home his grandmother has already been waiting for him to have dinner. "Where have you been Tian, the food is still hot, come lets have dinner" Tian was thinking about the bandits that he heard when coming home. He didn''t want there to be any disturbances near her grandma, no matter how small it is. ''I must get rid of them tonight'', Tian has been planning in his heart on how to deal with the bandits. Although he had great strength, he might not be able to deal with them right now. He was thinking of other ways to deal with them. "Oh right, i forgot to tell you that your school will Start from after two days. You have only few days, lets go and buy you some new clothes tomorrow" Tian suddenly remembered that he was still a 14 year old kid and have to attend to school soon. His heart ached knowing that he won''t get much rest after he starts attending the school. Tain went to bed after his meal, but he didn''t sleep. He was concocting some pills from the extra herbs that he brought yesterday. He bought a new electric cooker from leftover money, after yesterday''s explosion he thought it''d be best if he didn''t enter the kitchen anytime soon or else he might cause his grandma to panic. After exhausting himself for two hours, he finally completed the paste, which he turned into pill like balls and took some rest. It was 1 past midnight, Tian woke up and silently slipped out through the window. If someone were to see this they would be thoroughly shocked, a 14 year old kid was jumping from 1st floor as if he was stepping down the stairs. Tian went along the path that the villagers were talking about and found some trails that no other person could notice. He followed the trails and reached a worn out wooden cabin. He silently approached the window and saw six people sleeping inside with some knives by their side. He jumped in like a cat and quickly approached the a person who looked like the strongest among the six and immediately slipped a pill into throat. The Bandit immediately coughed a few times and woke up. When see saw a little kid in front of him, he was startled, "Who the h*ll is this kid and how did he get here!?". The other bandits immediately woke up after the commotion and realized someone has broken into their cabin. "Kid who are you? How did you get in here? Quick catch him you fools", The Bandit leader was panicked after finding a boy in their hideout. He wanted to immediately capture him. One of the bandits immediately went forward and tried to grab the collar of Tian, but before he could do so he was flying back and hit the wall like a paper kite. He was shocked, how can such a small kid be so strong, he suddenly felt something slip through his throat. "Brothers attack him, he seems a bit stronger than me. Don''t underestimate him", shouted the other bandit who eyes were radiating murderous aura. Immediately all the bandits pounced onto him. Tain quickly got out of their attacks and counter attacked them by punching their stomachs. Two of the bandits were sent flying while the others were able to successfully land a hit on him. Tain took a few steps back, a drop of blood dripped from the side of his lips.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. He cleared the blood with his hand and gave a sinister smile, which sent a chill down the spine of the bandits. Before the bandits know what was happening all of them had already swallowed the pills from Tian. "Kid, who the h*ll are you. You might be strong but you won''t be able to escape with your life tonight. Tell us what you are here for and we might just break your arms and spare your life" Although they were bandits, there never killed a person, at most they had only used their knife to scare them. There might not be any Enforcers nearby but killing someone and robbing someone are two things with entirely different consequences. They wouldn''t dare to kill someone. "Who i am is not important, all you need to know that all of you are my slaves from now" When the bandits heard this they laughed out loud. Some random kid came to them and said they were his slaves, although he might be strong but he couldn''t be compare to the combined strength of them six. They were really curious of who this kid was and where he came from. "You really have the guts to say that. Brothers lets show him what h*ll tastes like." Suddenly they felt like their bodies go numb. They weren''t even able to move their fingers. They felt despair. "Y-You! What did you do to us!? Quick make us normal or else we will really kill you!" "What i fed you is a medicine that will make your body paralyzed forever, no matter where you go, no one will be able to treat you. You will live the rest of your lives like a dead log" They were scared. They were really scared sh*tless. No matter what they have done, they always kept their principle when they robbed someone. They never imagined such situation would ever occur to them. They were ready to do anything to be able to become normal. They finally felt the despair that others felt when they robed them. They now understood that this was something that they deserved, but they don''t want to live like this. "Little brother please accept our apologies, we don''t know how we offended you, but we are willing to do anything you say. Please help us, we will never rob another person in our entire life again, please give us a single chance and cure us. You can take whatever you want from us" "Its no use, no matter what you say. Either you become my slaves or else become dead logs for your entire lives. The choice is in your hands", he knew that the pills effect would only last a day, but he wanted them to obey him no matter what, so he started playing tricks. "Little bro- little boss, we are willing. We are willing to become your slaves, please spare us and give us the cure. We will listen to your every word" Tian tossed a pill into each bandits mouth. This was the cure for the paralysis effect, finally the bandits were able to feel their bodies once again just after 5 minutes. "Remember your choice, because you will never regret this decision in the future. Also, this is only a temporary cure. If you don''t want to be paralyzed for life, you need to take these pills every one month from now", he had to say this to keep them in control and not have any thoughts of rebelling in the future. The bandits were thinking of going back on their words. They will take the cure and kick this kid out of their den. But when they heard the last sentence, they gave up their plans. Although he wasn''t afraid of these bandits strength, he didn''t trust them. He needs some helpers to do his stuff and this was the best way to keep them tied. Chapter 5 - School Begins After instructing the bandits to stay low for now, Tian went back silently to his home. He was thinking about how to make them into his cash cows, "hehehehee....", it was like a devils laugh, sending chill down one''s spine. In the morning Tian went with his grandma to the market to buy him some clothes. He insisted her to buy a new dress too, but she didn''t agree with him, "Look how old i am, why would i need to buy a new dress! lets just go and buy shoes for you". It was hard for him to convince her grandma. If i can find herbs to refine the heart origin powder, then i can improve grandmas health. She is the only relative that i have in this world and the only one who cares a lot for me. Tian started thinking how he could find spiritual herbs on this planet. As far as he understood from the memories, there wasn''t anything that can come close to the level of a spiritual herb. After their shopping was done, they went back home. His school will start tomorrow, he looked forward for learning new knowledge about this world. Early morning next day, "Tian!...you''re getting late for school. Come down and have breakfast". Tian felt like his bed was a fluffy cloud, he hugged his quilt and kept sleeping. He didn''t want to leave this heaven, ''I don''t want to wake uppp!!!!!!!''. But eventually his grandma came up to his room and woke him up. He reluctantly walked toward the bathroom like a floating ghost. He then ate his dinner and started leaving for school. "Be careful Li''l Tian, don''t forget to have your lunch on time and don''t get into any fights!...", his grandma was worried for him, as he recently been in an accident in the lake. Tian reassured her and went off for school. "Hey Tian!!!!, wait for meee.....", Zhang Tie came running towards him. "Slow down!, whats up with you" "Hehe....we are finally moving into middle class!!! how can i be not excited you idiot" This year, Zhang Tie and Tian are moving into the Middle school. He remembered that in the primary school, only the basics about language, math and science are taught. Starting from middle school they will teach them about worlds history and the modern world. Suddenly a hover car rushed past them, the sudden gust of air left Zhang tie''s hair in shambles. Tian got angry and shouted, "Watch out you moro-", suddenly Zhang tie covered Tians mouth and stopped him from scolding the car driver. "Shhh!!!!, What are doing Tian, that''s Xiu Li''s car. If he heard you, you won''t be living a normal life in school!", Xiu Li is the youngest son of Xiu Du. He is a powerful merchant in the merchant village. Xiu Du''s son worked as a enforcer in the Huang City, so he enjoyed the powerful backing of his son to destroy whoever stands against him in the village. "No matter who it is! someone who hurts my friend has to pay for it", Tian treasured the relationships he had in this world, he knew that Zhang Tie truly cared for him. He wouldn''t leave anyone if they laid a hand on his friend.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. "Idiot! Look, nothing happened to me. It was just a gust of wind. Now just forget it and go to school. We''re getting late already", Zhang was moved by Tians response. But he didn''t want him to get into trouble, so he convinced him. Seeing that nothing really happened to Zhang Tie, Tian snorted and moved on towards school. In the class, a women entered wearing a seductive uniform suit, the uniform showcased her voluptuous body, "Good morning students!, i am Li Ming", She introduced herself and started to talk about the History of this planet and various forces around the world. "150 years ago, the world we knew has began to change. Wild animals started to become more ferocious and turned into beasts with monstrous strengths. Beast tides started to attack cities and human technology was not enough to face off against those monsters of such strength. But it was not only the beasts that started to show transformations, even humans began to evolve and gain immense powers. We realized that the cultivation and breathing techniques of the ancient monks would increase our powers, thus cultivators began to rise" "The most powerful humans form the earth gathered together and fended off the dangers of the wild beasts invasion. A united organization has been formed for world order and protection, that is what we call today as the World Federation" "It is every persons dream to get into the World Federation and protect humanity as well as our families" "The World Federation has provided cultivation techniques for many academies on the planet. Now we are going to study the Nine Origins Breathing Technique" Then the teacher started to elaborate on how to cultivate the breathing technique. Tian was completely perplexed, he never thought that people would be able to cultivate on this planet where the spiritual qi is almost non existent. He started to practice the Nine Origins Breathing Technique, instantly he felt a warm stream of flowing into his stomach, going down through his throat. In his previous life, Tian''s body was not suitable for cultivation and he never knew the feeling of cultivating. No matter how hard he tried back then, the spiritual qi would not stay in his body. So he completely focused on his Alchemy, formations and mechanism research. Now, he was finally able to cultivate in this body. He got so emotional that he almost cried. Heavens have not abandoned me. Now i am finally able to cultivate. I can finally hope to take revenge on those immortals that forced me to die. He slowly cultivated till the end of class. "Ok students, keep practicing the technique. The more you practice, the more it is beneficial to you. We will meet again tomorrow" After cultivating for half a day my strength has improved by 15%. It is now equal to the force of three full grown men. Being proficient in all kinds of knowledge, Tian realized some flaws in the breathing technique. After improving them, he guessed that the efficiency of the technique will improve by 120%. He walked out of classroom and went along with Zhang Tie for lunch. "oh Tiannn.....I was not able to feel anything at all. I tried so much but i don''t know what i did wrong", Zhang Tie looked gloomy. It almost looked like he would burst into tears any moment, "How was it for you, did you feel anything. I guess it was tough for you as well. Don''t worry, we''ll figure it out somehow" Tian didn''t speak anything about it, as he knew he would feel upset over it. He planned on teaching the modified Nine Origins Breathing Technique to him later when they are alone. As they were walking, suddenly Zhang Tie bumped into someone. He was already gloomy as he was not able to cultivate the breathing technique. As soon as someone bumped into him, he didn''t even look who it was and directly cursed out loud. "Where the hell are you looking!!!! don''t you have ey-...!!!!!!" Chapter 6 - Do you dare? Zhang Tie instantly shut his mouth. He was shocked to find that that person who bumped into him was a member of Xiu Li''s gang. His body went limp. Quickly he started to appologize "I...I''m sorry. Please forgive me, i wasn''t paying attention and bumped into you" The Other guy instantly grabbed Zhang Ties collar, "Who do you think you are punk, You dare to bump into me. See what I''ll do to you!" He raised his fist to punch him. Suddenly he felt as if he is not able to control his body a deadly aura locked onto his body. He didn''t move and started looking around. "You dare to touch my friend?!!!", Tian radiated a fierce aura, it was like a wild beast standing infront of him. The bully wanted saw that it was only a weak looking kid, but he didn''t understand why he felt like he will die if he face with him. It was as if the messenger of death has placed a sickle on his throat. "Wh..Who are you...Do..Don''t you dare move. Do you know whose gang member i am, don''t regret later. Just stay away from this" Tian moved one step forward, it looked like the aura of a wild beast is standing behind him, ready to pounce onto him at any moment. He repeated his words once again in a deathly tone, "Do you dare?!!" The bully was scared, but he needed to maintain his dignity else no one would be scared of him in the future. He released his grip on Zhang Ties collar and moved back as if retreating. But suddenly he attacked Wang Tian by pouncing onto him with his fist, before anyone realized what was happening his fist got close to Tian. Tian moved fast like a leopard and launched a fist strike on the bully''s stomach. The bully flew back like a kite and crashed onto the tables. No one knew what happened, they saw him attack the feeble looking kid, then suddenly he is lying on the floor moaning in pain. He held his throbbing stomach, tried to stand up using the table. The table''s leg broke and he once again fell down, all the food on the table fell on his head. "Wah ha haha ha.....", looking at the funny scene of the bully''s head stuffed with noodles and egg, all the people around him started laughing at him "Y..You people dare to laugh at me, Just you wait and see what happens after Xiu Li learns of this. Especially you, you dared to beat the member of Xiu Li''s gang. See what is going to happen to you" He started to crawl and fumble, slowly exited out of the cafeteria. Zhang Tie was completely shocked, he didn''t realize that Tian was so strong. He was happy that Tian has gotten stronger, but also worried that he has gotten into trouble with Xiu Li''s gang.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. "Tian, hurry on, lets leave quickly before other members of their gang come here. Come hurry up", he tried to drag Tian by holding his arm and tugging him. But he was not even able to pull him off an inch. Honestly, Tian did not want to stir any trouble here. He wanted to lead a peaceful life in this world, Cultivating and enjoying his life. But when he saw the other person holding Zhang Tie''s collar and about to hit him, he couldn''t control himself. No matter what happens, no one can lay a finger on his loved ones. Tian went along with Zhang and exited the school campus, rushing straight to their homes. When they were about to part their ways, Tian stopped Zhang Tie and said, "Zhang Tie, come with me to my home. I will teach you the breathing technique. You''ll be able to quickly sense energy if you follow my instructions" Tian has already planned to teach Zhang tie about the modified breathing technique, he didn''t teach him as he has not tested the modified breathing technique yet. But experiencing the situation in the school, he knew that not only does he need to improve his own strength, but also the strength of people around him. If he was not there when Zhang tie faces danger again, then they at least need to have strength to defend themselves. Zhang tie silently followed Tian to his home. He didn''t know why, but he felt like the Wang Tian in-front of him was completely different from the Wang Tian he knew. He suddenly got so much exploding strength that he didn''t see before. After reaching Tians home, they went straight to his room. "Tian, how come you are so strong suddenly? As far as i knew, you never dared to confront anyone who bullied you. How did you change so much?", Zhang made a worried face, he didn''t know if this sudden increase in his friend''s strength is a blessing or curse to Tian. Tian knew that his sudden change in behavior and strength would cause him to be suspicious, he made use of the class as an excuse for his sudden increase in strength, "I have cultivated the breathing technique that teacher has imparted us today, it really worked like a charm for me. That''s why i wanted you to learn the technique too. Come, follow my instructions carefully and do as i say" Tian carefully explained the modified Nine Origin Breathing Technique to Zhang tie. He made sure to guide him on how to collect energy from his breathing and distribute it evenly to his body. After two hours, Zhang tie punched his fist in the air. His fist made a crip sound from the punch, "Hahahaa....Tian! did you see that, i can feel the energy within my body!!! It is incredible Tian, look! look! look!", Zhang started punching air and was elated, rejoicing the new found strength. "This is nothing, Now go home and started practicing the same technique. Make sure to eat lot of food, else it will tire you", Tian sent away Zhang, who was in delight, to his home Now i can finally relax, Cultivating while sitting in meditative pose is so tiring. I''ll modify it again so that i can cultivate it while lying on the bed. Tian felt that this was that best idea he ever had, he had a grin across his face. He quickly modified the technique again and went to bed. He started cultivating while sleeping, such extravagance could never be found anywhere else. If the people from academy knew that he was cultivating while sleeping, they will spew blood from their mouth. The life of a lazy young master, has started again. Chapter 7 - Moan like crazy Next day, when Tian woke up, he felt his power has increased. Now he had the power that''s equal to the strength of one bull. He was finally getting closer to his dream, of becoming a cultivator. He got ready for school and met with Zhang Tie on the way, "Hey Tian! i practiced the breathing technique after i went home, I grew so powerful overnight. I showed my old man how strong i became, he was so shocked that he kept his mouth wide open. Hahaha....." Zhang Tie overjoyed with the new found strength of his. He kept bragging about how he can now run faster, punch harder and jump like a kangaroo. For Tian, it was like looking at a dancing monkey. Yet, Tian was happy as Zhang Tie is getting stronger now. Suddenly, a hover car stopped in-front of them, a 17~18 year old boy got off the car. He was looking like a rich kid, dressed with expensive clothing from top to bottom. He stood in-front of them and looked at them as if they were ants in his eyes. Few other kids came and stood behind him, "Boss, he is the one that hit me yesterday! I told him i was under you boss. But he didn''t even care, he even said he even if you came, he will do the same to you! please avenge me boss" "Shut up you idiot! you couldn''t even take care of a little kid and came to complain with me" "You! Kid!, whats you name. Do you know who i am. I am Xiu Li, the son of Xiu Du. How dare you beat someone under my wing. Apologize to him now and also your strength seems not bad. If you join my group as my subordinate, i might even spare you", Xiu Li was angry that someone beat his underling, but after finding that the kid was so young yet strong, he wanted to recruit him under him. Tian replied non-nonchalantly, "I do not dare join you, because i get along with pigs" "How dare you!!!", Xiu Li''s underlings immediately started pouncing onto Tian, All of them attacked him together. Xiu Li stood there with a smile on his face, he was confident that this guy would be beat beyond recognition by his underlings. But he was shocked the next second! it has been only a moment that his underlings started attacking him, now all of them are lying on the ground moaning and groaning like crazy. It felt like all of them are performing some disgusting act with their moans. Xui Li looked at Tian, "It looks like you do have some strength, to beat down all my underlings you sure do have it. But don''t think that you can beat me with your measly strength. To me, you are like a ant that i can crush any time" "We will see who will crush whom!", Tian jumped up like a hawk and punched Xui Li. Xiu Li evaded his punch at fast speed and striked towards Tians Chest. Tian instantly realized that Xui Li is stronger than he looks, he retreated back and avoided Xiu Lis punch. He moved in a zig-zag pattern like a snake and punched Xiu Li''s abdomen. "Garhh...", Xiu Li yelled in pain. He was thoroughly enraged. Instantly his aura shot up like a beast. Tian can sense that Xiu Lis energy has suddenly increased. He tried to Jump back, but it was too late. Xiu Li landed a hit on Tians chest.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! Tian flew back and fell on the ground. He rose up on his feet and little blood trickled down his lips. Xiu Li was about to attack again, just then "Stop it!". A young lady entered the scene and stopped them from fighting. It was the class teacher from yesterday, Li Ming. "Xiu Li, you are already in Higher class, why are you meddling around with the middle class kids. You are already in second layer of body refinement, do you enjoy so much bullying someone who didn''t even enter body refinement stage", Li Ming was quite angry with Xiu Li, he always bullied other people. If not for his brother being in the Enforcers, he might''ve been expelled from the school already. Xiu Li realized that it would be bad if he continued, "Miss Li, we were just playing around. I was not bullying anyone. I seem to remember that i still have some things to do, I''ll take my leave miss", Xiu Li left, he kept looking back and gave murderous stares towards Tian. All his goons followed him back wailing in pain. Tian wiped his blood using his sleeve and looked towards Miss Li, "Thank you for saving us Miss Li, i will not forget this favor". He spoke like an adult, which startled Miss Li, she glanced towards him and said, "Not bad, although you have not reached body refinement stage, you stood your ground against someone of second layer body refinement. Keep up with your cultivation, the diligent are always rewarded" Tian scratched the back of his head, "Hehe...its nothing miss. But i must say, you are looking very gorgeous miss, No one can compare to your beauty", he started buttering her with his glib tongue. Miss Li blushed a little, she didn''t knew why this kid looked different. "Hurry and leave now, you''re getting late for school", she said that left in her car towards the school. No matter which world it is, if i want to live happily without worry, i need to get stronger. For myself and to protect the people around me. Tian and Zhang Tie left for school. Inside the class, Miss Li started todays lecture. "Today we are going to learn about the various stages of cultivation. Cultivation is the path to attain longer life, incredible strength and go beyond heavens" "In the initial stages, we need get rid of impurities from our body. This is called body refinement realm. It is divided into seven layers. Attaining each layer of body refinement rises the strength by one bulls strength" "After that we need to improve our blood energy, this is called blood refinement realm. This stage is also divided into seven layers. with each layer, the blood increases its capacity of carrying qi" "You will learn about later stages in your higher class. That''s all for today, keep practicing the Breathing technique and get into body refinement layer" "Anyone who reaches body refinement layer will be granted a bottle of Green Spirit potion. Taking a green spirit potion will increase your body refinement realm by one layer instantly. Keep working harder kids" Tian began to understand that the cultivation levels of this world differ from his world, because of lack of spiritual qi the bodies of people here are week. They first need to improve their bodies, followed by blood and his guess is that in the third stage, they will concentrate on their meridians and start cultivating. Finally, his dream of becoming a cultivator is going to be fulfilled soon. Chapter 8 - Gaining Power After the class, Tian went directly to the plantations near school and slept under a tree. He started cultivating his modified Nine Origins Breathing technique, which now he named as Nine origins Sleeping technique. The people who were passing by gave weird glances at him. He looked like a lazy retard. While everyone was furiously cultivating, this guy was sleeping comfortably under a tree. After a few hours, Tian suddenly woke up and sat in cross leg posture. His inner energy has increased another level and is ready to burst out. His skin pores started to emit black misty residue. Boomm!!, he shot up straight and jumped up and punched the tree. The tree shook violently. "Hahahaa....I''ve finally broken through to the first layer of body refinement. But my strength is not equal to one bull but it is of 3 bulls strength. He didn''t understand how he gained additional power. When he went back to home, his grandma was shocked. Why does he come looking like a black gorilla every other day, he was stinking like crazy. He went in quickly and took bath. He went back to bed after dinner. Deep into the night, Tian suddenly woke up and rushed towards the jungle cabin, where the bandits are residing. Bang!!, he jumped in directly from the window, "Who is it!", everyone quickly grabbed their weapons. But then they saw that it was that boy, who kicked their asses and became their boss. "Boss!, welcome back boss. You could''ve directly come from door, you don''t need to jump through the window", he didn''t understand why his boss always jumped in from the window. They nearly pissed every time he came like a ghost. "Shut up!", he went forward and sat on a chair. He didn''t notice it the first time he came in, but he can see that the bandits are well off. They have quite a spacious cabin with furniture, TV and cooking setup. "What are your names?", he looked at them keenly. They quickly looked towards one another. Their previous leader came ahead. "Boss, my name is jian li, these are my brothers Tian Du, Xian Lu, Xuan lu and Xuan lan and Liu Li", they stood in a row in-front of Wang Tian. "From now on, you are Number one, Number Two, Three, Four, Five and Six", Tian was too lazy to remember their names. So he started naming with numbers from left to right. The bandits were dumbfounded. They never expected their new boss to change their names on a whim. They were choking up and on the verge of tears. ''Boss, how could you be so cruel to change our names like this! waahhh!.....'' Tian knew, that if he wanted to survive in this world, he needs to build up his own forces. These six bandits were just a part of it. He wanted to secretly guard her grandma, he can not always stay with her. So he decided to train these bandits to become his subordinates. "I will teach how to cultivate. From now on, cultivate diligently and raise your strengths. You don''t have to care about anything else", he started imparting the modified Nine Origins Technique. Although it is restricted to circulate the Nine Origins Breathing Technique, he has modified the entire technique. Even if the academy head master came, he will not be able to recognize that it is Nine Origins Breathing Technique. The Bandits were completely dumbfounded. They never imagined that they would be able to cultivate. In their entire lives. They were moved by his actions. They swore in their hearts that they will diligently follow whatever boss says."Yes Boss!", all of them shouted enthusiastically.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Tian also asked how much money they had. It was around 6740 yuan. "You guys have been robbing all these years, and this is what you have saved!", Tians face was completely blank. "Boss, We only looted the merchants who were not so powerful. Normally those powerful merchants will keep guards around their materials. Also, we never looted those who are in dire straits. Thus whatever we looted was quickly used for our food and necessities. This is all that remains", Number One knew that it was too low for a bandits savings. But this was what they had, he wanted Tian to understand the matter. "Alright, alright. And stop calling Boss!", he was really irritated when they called him boss. It was not like he was running a underworld gang. Number One thought for sometime and said, "Alright Young Master". Tian was fine with them calling him Young Master. It was better than being a underworld gang boss. He left the cabin and went off to his home. Next day, Tian went to school and informed his teacher about his break through. His teacher was shocked beyond words. She never thought that someone will break into Body refinement realm so soon. She informed this to the Head master of the school. "What!, someone from middle school broke through to First layer of Body refinement just after one week!!!. Quick bring me to him", he was overjoyed by the news. Although Body refinement realm is very week, but someone who broke through only after few days is rare. "Greetings head master", Tian stood in front of Head master Buck wing. He could feel that the head master of this school is very powerful. He couldn''t even fathom his power. "Good boy. I heard that you broke through to body refinement in only a few days" "Its all due to teachers guidance and my luck" Head Buck was very intrigued by Tian, he acted very composedly in front of him. Other students will start to stutter in his pretense. Looks like this is not a bad seedling. "This is your reward for breaking through to the Body refinement realm, the Green spirit potion. Drink it when you are calm and free. All the best my child, I''m looking forward to see you in the ranking battle that happens after three months" The ranking battle was a tournament that happens in the middle and upper class. The top ranker of the middle class gets to participate in the upper class tournament. Based on the rankings, many resources and rewards are given to the winners. Tian took note of this tournament. If he wants to gain resources for alchemy and formations. This would be the best choice to get them from the school. Tian quickly left the Head masters office and went off to home along with Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was also very close to breaking through to body refinement realm, this might be due to the modifications he had done on the Nine Origins Breathing technique. But still it was a surprise for Tian, it looks like Zhang Tie had an affinity with cultivation, at this rate he will broke through successfully in another four days. Tian went off to his room and opened the Green spirit potion bottle. He was a master alchemist in his previous world, so he can tell how the green spirit potion was made. He was really disapointed with the potion, as the precious resource were used to make this but the efficiency was so low. If he made this potion, then the efficiency might boost to five times of the original. He drank potion and started using the Breathing technique.... Chapter 9 - Number Four The potion started taking effect instantly. He felt as if ants are crawling all over his body, sweat began pouring all over his body making his clothes were completely drenched. He continued the breathing technique, his energy began to rise. second layer, third layer, fourth layer Finally it stopped at fourth layer of body refinement. He now had the strength of seven bulls. He slowly ingrained the residual effects of the potion. It looks like i need to start collecting herbs and concoct potions if i want to keep increasing my strength. The fist technique of hundred scholars, the Raging Fist Technique, might suit me for this power level. I remember the first level of the technique requires the user to cause break a boulder with the fist punch. He went out into the woods again, stood in-front of a boulder, closed his eyes and released a slow breath. He moved his body and arms like the gentle flow of water, he collected all the energy into his right fist and abruptly striked the boulder with all his power. Boomm...!!!! He opened his eyes and saw a small crack on the boulder, one would not notice the crack unless they looked keenly. "Looks like i need to practice more to master the first level of Raging Fist technique" He returned to his room and slept, no no...more like started cultivating his Nine Origins Sleeping Technique. Next day, "Tian!! wake up, you''re getting late for school!", Tian hugged his quilt sobbing, ''Boohoo....i want to sleep more....sob sob...''. grandma wang came up and dragged him out of his bed, "Get up boy, why are you becoming so lazy day by day" Today grandma made chicken momos for breakfast, Tian loved the taste of it. He munched down on them. ''I don''t remember the last time i enjoyed my food like this'', Tian was feeling nostalgic. The more he spent time, the more he fell in love with everything around him. He met Zhang Tie and went on to his school. "Hello Students, I am here to announce that we will be going on a trip to the Eastern Huang Forest in the next week. I hope everyone will break through into body refinement realm by then. Those who have not broken through will not be allowed on the trip, as there it will be dangerous for them", Miss Li stood there looking at the students, she glanced towards Tian for a second and then left the class. "Hell! how am i going to break through to body refinement realm in just a week! My good Brother Tian, you have to help me. boo hoo....You have to take responsibility for me brother....Waahhh....", Zhang Tie clung onto Tians legs and started weeping like crazy, it was like a women who was cheated wanted him to take responsibility. Tian was speechless, he was anyhow going to help his brother to break through. He facepalmed and tossed him away. Zhang Tie was getting stronger by the day, but he still had a long way to break through to body refinement realm. Tian knew that Zhang Tie will broke through soon if he cultivated his modified technique. But he still wanted to make sure he will break through within a week, ''Looks like its time to refine some potions again, i might as well refine some for the bandit brothers'' "Calm down you idiot. I''ll make sure you''ll break through before the trip, don''t cling onto me like that", finally Zhang Tie calmed down. They started walking out home.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. "I heard you are going to Eastern Huang forest for a trip. Be careful out there, i heard that there are a lot of dangerous beasts out there", it was Xiu Li. He was indirectly threatening them that they will face dangers during the trip. Tian swiftly moved and before Xiu Li could react Tian swiped him off his legs and kicked him to the ground. "You dare to threaten me on my face!", Tian never cared for Xiu Li after breaking through to fourth layer. Xiu Li got into higher class only because of his father and brother, or else with his second layer body refinement stage, he should still be in the middle class. Xiu Li was surprised by the sheer strength of Tian. He never imagined that Tian will broke through to body refinement realm and possess such immense strength. He started to feel jealous, he had so many resources with him, yet he wasn''t able to break through to blood refinement realm and stuck at body refinement realm. He though after breaking through to third layer of body refinement, he will be able to handle Tian with his fingers, but everything he imagined became reverse. "Lets go", Tian got Zhang Tie and moved on without even glancing at the utterly shocked Xiu Li. Xiu Li cursed under his breath, ''Act arrogant all you want, when you go on the trip, i''ll make sure you never return....heheheee.....'', he gave off a sinister laugh and recovered from his trauma. "Tian, you should control yourself more. Although you got strong and are able to beat Xiu Li, but his brother works with enforcement office. You shouldn''t overdo it, its better to stay low brother", although he hated Xiu Li, Zhang Tie knew that his background was powerful and it isn''t wise to stir trouble with them. Tian went straight to the bandits and checked on their progress, "Not bad, all of you have improved. Lets see how strong you have got, come at me together", the bandits were overjoyed on their boss''s arrival. They wanted to show they have grown stronger over the period. But the very next moment, they were all lying on the floor moaning in pain. They were shocked by their boss''s strength. "Young Master is so strong, so amazing. Your greatness is so bright that it out shines everything", Number One started to start singing praises of his boss. As expected of being leader of bandits, he knew when to boot-lick and when to keep quite. Tian was pleased with them, "You''ve done good, but you guys have a long way to break through into body refinement realm. Number one, go to the market and bring me these ingredients in the list", Tian passes a slip to him. He can go for them himself, but that would cause suspicions as he knew many people in the market. "Boss, wouldn''t it be easier for us to order online?", Number one didn''t understand why they would have to go to the market when everything is available online. Tian was fumbled, he realized that the technology of this world in very advanced. He can get whatever he wanted from one device. I should get a mobile phone for myself, i can get anything without anyone''s notice. "You guys have a mobile phone?", Tian asked as he put front his hand. "Yes Young master, this is the brand new model XII of Zeus. You can take 360 degree photos and videos with it, also you can connect it with Zeus VR Pro and experience 3D games, also there''s this feature.....", Number four went on talking like a sales person. He was a technology fanatic. Whenever there is a new phone or technology released, he would have that information with him. Tian was dazed with the information, he stopped him and took the mobile from his hands and went off to his home. Chapter 10 - Concocting Potions Number four has already pointed out all its features and some sites where he can get anything he wants. One of them is the Pan Long Organization. You can get anything you want there, as long as you have money. Tian browsed and ordered all the materials that he needed to concoct the body strengthening potions. With that, his money has reduced to a mere 1200 yuan. ''I think its time to cultivate the Nine Origins Sleeping Technique'', Tian jumped onto his bed and cuddled his quilt like it was his girlfriend. Several hours later Tian received a call from Number One. "Young master, the materials you ordered have arrived", Tian replied with only one word, "Good...", then went back to sleep. Next day, Tian went to the bandits cabin and checked the material. There went into the kitchen with the materials and shut the door. "Looks like Young master likes cooking", Number two said as he peeked at the kitchen door Number Six rubbed his belly, licking his lips, "But still, he shouldn''t have spent all that money for cooking. He could''ve directly bought some food from restaurant its much tastier". He really wanted to eat lots of meat and more meat and more meat. He imagined himself drowning in meat heaven. "Shhh....shut up you idiot!, no matter what young master does, we must follow diligently. Now lets go back to cultivation", Number three was considering the Young master as his idol. Because of him they can finally cultivate. He furiously indulged into cultivating the breathing technique, he wanted to quickly break through into body refining realm and show it to his young master. Inside the kitchen, Tian started to process the medical ingredients. As the utensils here were small, he had to make the potions in batches. No matter how many times he does this, Tian really wanted to get himself a cauldron instead of cooking the potions. He was weeping inside, thinking how poor he was. After a few hours the kitchen door opened quietly, black smoke came out of the kitchen door. The six bandits were scared like sh*t. Right now the kitchen door looked like a path way to hell. They saw Tian walk out of the kitchen door, but when they saw his face, they were shocked. Tians face looked like a pitch black gorilla, his hair looked like a birds nest. The white uniform he wore contrasted his black appearance, they couldn''t hold it in, "Hahhaahahaaa...aiyoo look at that....hahahahaa...", everyone except number one and number two started laugh. They were holding their stomach unable to handle their laughter. Number one and Number two looked at each other, they were trying hard not to laugh. They were trying to hold it in. But number two couldn''t control himself, "puffhhhahhaahaaa....haahaaahaa...." They have thoroughly enraged Tian. ''Looks like i need to teach them a lesson, how dare they laugh at me''. Tian quickly took a towel and cleaned his face, looking at the group dangerously. "Looks like you have cultivated so much that you are so free to you can laugh at my appearance, Lets see how much you have improved", Tian snorted and started attacking them left and rightThis content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. All of them lay on the floor rubbing their swollen bums. Number One was glad he holded it in, or else he would be in the same situation. Tian looked at them wailing in pain, finally he was satisfied. He talked with a smile on his face, "These are some potions that I''ve concocted. One for each of you. Use this to boost your cultivation and quickly break through into body realm", he left the cabin after saying that. Number One''s eyes shone brightly, he never imagined that the young master has the ability to concoct potions. Everyone took a potion. Number six had a weird smile on his face, he took the potion bottle to his cheeks and drooled as he fondled it. After having the potion, most of them directly broke through to body refinement realm. Number five has improved much more than other and directly went to second layer of body refinement. Everyone was shocked with his improvements. After feeling the new found strength, everyone went back to consolidate their cultivation. Tian went directly to Zhang Tie''s home, "Hey brother!, How come you are here", Zhang Tie was really happy to see Tian at his home. After the incident of the lake, Tian has changed in many ways. Now Zhang started to look up to him like a idol. "I have got this potion from someone, drink this when you are alone and try to cultivate the Breathing technique i taught you", Tian handed the potion bottle to Zhang Tie. Zhang was shocked to this, his heart began to stir. He was chocking with tears, "My good brother, i love you so muchhhh.....you are the best brother in this world...wuuuuhhh...", Zhang clung onto Tians legs and started rubbing his cheeks on him. Tian kicked him on his butt, "Shut up idiot!, why are you always clinging on my leg. We are brothers and we have to take care of each other. Now stop crying and get stronger. Only when you get stronger, you can take care of me", he truly meant what he said. He treated him like his own brother. He wanted him to get stronger, so that he will have a better life. Zhang Tie looked at Tian smiling, ''I will definitely get stronger brother, I will get stronger so that i can be of help to you'', he was determined to become stronger. Zhang drank the potion and sat in meditative pose and started the Breathing technique. Zhang Tie began to sweat all over. He felt like there is a fire in his body. Slowly every part of his body began to change, it became stronger and the impurities in his body were being pushed back out of his body from his skin. After sometime, he opened his eyes and he can feel power in every muscle of his body. He immediately hugged Tian and excitedly yelled, "I have broked through! brother Tian!!!! woo hooo.....", he was so excited that he forgot that his body was completely covered in black gooey substance. Tian immediately pushed Zhang, holding his nose, "You stinky brat, go and have a bath first. You smell horrible", Zhang noticed it and started scratching his nose, "Haha... sorry brother, i was so excited that i didn''t notice it, I''ll be back in a jiffy" Tian waited while holding his mobile. He browsed through all the information regarding various powers of the world. He was really surprised to find that earth possesses people with alchemy skills. There were also many powerful organizations like the World Federation that governed the planet, The Pan Long Organization which is the biggest merchant organization, The Tri Star Alchemy Association, Heavens fortune auction house and many other organizations. Tian guessed that there may be other formidable organizations that are hidden from the world. He read some news concerning the latest small scale beast tide that occurred near the Northern Forest of Huang City. The military has taken action and have completely wiped out the beast tide. He wanted to look what the beast tide looks like, if he could go over there then he could collect many materials he needed for his alchemy potions. Chapter 11 - Taking down Bandits When Zhang came out, he saw a mobile phone in Tians hand, "Hey Brother, isn''t it the latest model of Zeus mobile phones. My dad said he will buy me one when i break through to body refinement realm. Lets play Second Life, when i get my hands on my new mobile phone" Second Life is a VR game that took over the entire world by shock. It was able to simulate real world in Virtual reality, they used immersive technology with which they were able to simulate life like content where users can experience pain, taste and smell. All the big powers have set up their organizations in this game as well, Like the Pan Long Organization, Tri Star Alchemy Association, Heavenly Fortune Auction house and others. Tian was slightly interested in this, as the users can change their appearance as they wanted. After talking for a while Tian left Zhang Tie''s house and got back home. He kept thinking about the Second Life VR game and went into his sleeping cultivation mode. Next day he went to the Bandits cabin. He was a bit shocked that Number Five has directly broke through to the Second Layer. He was satisfied with the results. Number Five rose his chest up with pride and kept smiling. "Looks like all of you have broken through, Let us have a spar. All of you, at once!", Tian wanted to test how stronger they have got after the break through Number One imagined this situation ahead and instructed everyone else to keep their calm and not attack randomly. They formed a circle and started attacking him, as Number four took the initiative. Tian had to say that their team work was rather good. They co-ordinated with each other and formed a tight formation, leaving no escape to him. They even covered each others back, so that when Tian attacks one person, the other person will intervene him and keep attacking him. But still after two minutes, everyone was lying on the floor, gasping for breath. They never imagined even after breaking through to body refinement, they were effortlessly beaten down by young master. "You co-ordination is rather good, but you guys are not able to utilize the full strength of your power. I will now impart you a Vajra battle formation technique, cultivate it well", Tian started to impart them the Vajra battle technique. With this, they will be able to increase their battle strength by three times. He finished guiding them and all of them sat straight and closed their eyes, trying to ingrain every word he said. Seeing that they were deep in learning mode, he left silently. After some moments, everyone opened their eyes. Just by listening to the battle technique, they understood that their battle powers will improve immensely. Their eyes were filled with sentiments and strong will power. "Young master has done so much for us, he has not only allowed us to walk the path of a cultivator but also made so many things for us", Number one said seriously, as his eyes were filled with emotion and pride. "We have to return masters favors, no matter what", Number six said passionately "Yes! We have to do something for our young master", said Number Four nodding his head. "But what can we do, Young master does not want us to walk down the path of bandits", said Number three. He always looked up to his young master like an idol. He never wanted to do something that his young master doesn''t want him to.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. "Yes, what can we do. All we know is how to fight. What good can it be to the young master, who is so damn powerful", said Number Five "I have an Idea!", exclaimed Number Two. "I know that Young master does not want us to hurt innocent civilians. Also, you might''ve noticed that the materials that young master used to make costed a lot of money...." "What are getting at?", asked Number six impatiently "Listen to me first! Young master needs money, but he doesn''t want us to hurt any innocent people. Then why don''t we go take over other bandits and underworld organizations near us. That way, we will be able to gather more money and also stop others from doing bad things. And I''m sure that young master will surely appreciate it", explained Number Two with his face as proud as a peacock. Everyone contemplated his words, it has some truth in it. They were convinced. All of them sat together and started planning on how to accomplish what they were planning. They are back in business!!!! Tian didn''t knew anything about this. At home, his grandma made special things for him to eat. He happily devoured the food and went back to sleep. His grandma came in the middle of the night and sat beside him in tears. Tian was awake, but didn''t flinch and kept acting like he was asleep. She kept staring at Tian with concern, She took the photo frame of his son and daughter in law. She wiped the photo and kept looking at it with emotional heart. Finally, she kept the photo back, glanced one last time at Tian. She kissed him gently on his forehead and went back down stairs. Tian felt his heart has been pierced with swords, he didn''t knew why his grandma cried. But it made him come on the verge of tears, he chocked emotionally. No matter what, he wanted to see her grandma happy. He had to do something to make her more happy. A week has passed since then, Tian didn''t go back to school. Tian said to her grandma that he had broken through to body refinement layer and didn''t have any important classes now. He stayed at home and looked after his grandma Zhang Tie was worried why Tian didn''t come to school and went to check on him. After finding that everything was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and informed him of all the matters happening at school. It looks like the Trip has been postponed for two days because of the beast tide at the Northern Huang forest. They just wanted to make sure the perimeter is clear before arranging the trip. While Tian was taking care of his grandma, the Bandit brothers have gone ahead and took down many bandit groups. After taking away their loot, they didn''t know what to do with the bandits. So they gathered all the defeated bandits in one place. They were doing it on a small scale, but the other local bandit groups learned that some mysterious and power group has appeared in the area. They were taking down one bandit group after another. Everyone started making preparations to protect themselves from this group. At a High rise building, in the Huang City. A butler keeled down on one leg, with his head down and arm at his heart said, "Young master, there seems to be some mysterious group that started taking down all the bandit gangs in the villages under our city. It might be someone from the city government taking action" A sinisterly handsome youth sat near a large glass window, with a wine glass in his hands, said, "The city government will not involve in our affairs. This is someone else. A group of monkeys who are only at body refinement realm, hah. Just send one of our guards at blood refinement realm to deal with this" He slowly sipped the wine and smiled sinisterly, with eyes like a poisonous snake. Chapter 12 - Training Begins Tian kept cultivating daily and eventually he rose to fifth layer of body refinement realm. During this time he didn''t go back to the bandits, but what he didn''t know was the havoc they have created in the local under world. Zhang Tie also cultivated diligently, with the help of Green spirit potion he broke through to second layer of body refinement. It was time for the School trip. Tian and Zhang Tie went to school and boarded the hover craft along with other students. The hover craft was looking like a spaceship from inside. Seats were placed on either sides. For some students, it was their first time travelling in a hover craft, they started to feel motion sickness and are about to burst any moment. Finally, after two hours of journey the hover craft has reached its destination. Tian stepped out of the hover craft, he saw several dozens of men in military uniforms moving from one place to another. There were also some construction robots carrying materials on their shoulders. "Attention Students!!", they heard a loud shout from ahead. It was captain of the army stationed over here. He was wearing a tank top and was looking fierce like a wolf, his body had many scars. All the students rushed over in front of the captain, some tumbled over the others and fell over. The Captain gave a piercing gaze towards everyone, "From today onwards, till the end of the trip, you will all be under my supervision. All the students will be divided into batches of four and each student will be provided with a GPS tracker device and make sure you don''t loose that! Understand!!", the Captain said loudly "Yes! Sir!", everyone replied enthusiastically "First round of training will be individual survival, you will be have to hunt the wild beasts inside the forest. Based on the strength of the beast you hunted, you will be allocated point. The GPS device with you will automatically collect data from your battle and store your points" "There are only body refinement realm beasts inside the forest. For defeating a First Layer body refinement realm beast you will get 10 points, for second level 20 and so on for seventh layer you will get 70 points" "Remember, no matter how many points you can gain by defeating those beasts. when you cannot defeat it, make sure to run away. You get that!!" "Yes! Sir!" "Now go to your allotted tents and start preparing" Everyone rushed towards the tents, they didn''t want to stay one moment in front of the captain. The aura he was emanating was like a beast. Tian yawned and slowly started to walk towards his tent in a carefree manner with his hands behind his head. "What are you thinking sir!, Many of them haven''t even crossed into third layer and you are pushing them into a forest filled with wild beasts. Who is going to take responsibility if something happened to the kids!!!", Miss Li was very worried with the training. She never expected them to change the training so suddenly. Usually, they would to tag along with other soldiers and the soldiers will train them on survival skills and hunting skills. But this was utterly preposterous.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it "Clam down Miss Li. I have no say in this. This was decided by the Enforcement office. They wanted to make the training a bit harder and bring out the battle potential in the kids. I cannot go against my orders. Also, please don''t be worried. Each batch will have a soldier monitoring them in secret. These soldiers are all in blood refinement realm and can make sure their lives are sage", Captain explained the whole situation to Miss Li. After hearing that every batch of students will have a soldier monitoring them secretly, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Inside the tent, Tian lied down on the table, chewing a grass straw and closed his eyes. The surrounding three other students gave weird glances towards him. Since Tian has messed up with Xiu Li, all the students in the class started ignoring him. Except Zhang Tie, no one else talked with Tian in the class. "Hey, let''s ignore that guy and start preparing ourselves. After we go into the forest lets head towards.....", the three students ignored Tians existence completely and started planning on how to survive in the jungle. Tian also didn''t bothered them and slept till the time for training has arrived. "Listen well kids! I''m repeating this again and again, if you cannot defeat a beast, make sure to retreat. Also, the training period will be two days, no more than that", Captain gave his final words and nodded towards the other soldiers. After the students left into the forest, the soldiers disappeared from their spots and secretly kept following the students. ''Finally, it''s time to hunt'', Tian jumped from one tree to another. Like an agile monkey, he kept on moving forward. The Soldier that was following him, had lost track of him, he didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, ''Damn, how is the kid so fast, was he a monkey in his previous life!!''. He used the GPS locator and started chasing after him. Tian spotted many wild beasts, but all of them were either first layer or second layer. He wanted to find beasts at fourth layer and above. He killed all those low level beasts in one blow and kept moving forward. Zhang Tie was in another part of the jungle. Like Tian, Zhang Tie was also abandoned by his team mates. Zhang Tie didn''t care about it and started hunting for beasts and gaining points. He kept hunting first layer and second layer beasts. In the cover of the night, there was a person standing above the woods on a tree branch. He was completely covered in a hood, he was wearing a black mask that made him look deadly. He looked ahead into the forest, holding a curved dagger in his hand. He licked his lips like a snake and jumped down into the forest. No one knew noticed this person entering the forest. No one knew who he was. In the cover of the night, a deadly man was roaming around the forest. After killing dozens of second and third layer beasts, Tian though that there is still a long time till the completion of the training, he has also noticed the powerful soldier, who was monitoring him all the time. He knew that the soldier will protect him in case of any danger, so he lied on a tree branch, leaning onto the trunk and slept comfortably. The soldier was completely going mad over tians carelessness, he had never seen someone so recklessly sleeping in the forest filled with wild beasts without any protection. ''Just you wait! I will teach you a lesson after we get back to the camp!'', the soldier gritted his teeth and stood monitoring the surroundings. Just then, he felt a dangerous vibe coming from behind him. He instantly dodged aside and sprang up into the air. But still, there was a little cut on his arm, ''This guy is dangerous...'', a chilling thought went down through the soldier. "Hehe hehe....Looks like i have to clean you first before i get to my target....", the hooded assassin licked the blood off his dagger and laughed sinisterly. Chapter 13 - The Pitiful Assassin The Soldier understood that the Assassin was here for the student, but he didn''t understand which organization will be so courageous to infiltrate the military camp and send a blood refinement realm cultivator. How did the kid even mess up with such an organization. He tried to open his communicator and call for backup, just then he noticed that he wasn''t able to reach the communication line. "Hehehe.....Don''t try too hard, all the communication devices within the range of 1000 meters are blocked", he started attacking again. The soldier kept on defending himself and countering his attacks. But it was clear, that the soldier was at a disadvantage in strength. Tian was dazed, as even he was not able to detect the assassin before he attacked the soldier. The soldier was at first layer of Blood cultivation realm, while the assassin was at second layer. He knew that after the assassin is done with the soldier, it will be his turn. He didn''t have the power to face someone at blood refinement realm, but he wouldn''t leave the soldier who was protecting him. The Soldier noticed that Tian was staring at them, "Kid, run away from here. My name is Gong Li, go to the camp and inform the captain that someone has infiltrated the Training grounds", the soldier Gong Li yelled at the top of his lungs and kept defending against the assassins attacks. Suddenly, the Assassin laughed and whistled, "Do you think i would let my prey run away", a Horned Wolf beast appeared from the woods, it was nearly a meter tall and was in Seventh Layer of Body refinement. Tian started running deep into the forest, while the hound kept chasing him. Finally when it was about to Launch attack on him, Tian dodged aside. He collected his entire body''s energy into his right arm and punched the Horned Wolf''s ribs. The Wolf retaliated by dashing towards tian with his horn. Tian''s left arm got stabbed by the horn when he was trying to defend from its attack. Howwwllll~~...The Horned Wolf howled in rage and kept attacking Tian. Tian jumped up into the sky by stepping over a tree''s branch and after reaching high in air, he started launching his fist technique from air. Boommm...!!!!!!! When his fist landed on the Horned Wolf''s head, it instantly collapsed on the ground coughing blood and died. When the assassin saw this, he was thoroughly enraged. "How dare you kill my pet!, I''ll skin you alive and torture you till you beg for death!!", he instantly unleashed his most powerful attack on Gong Li. The attack hit Gong Li''s chest and he flew back from the attack and fell to ground. If he didn''t get treated soon, then he might die. The assassin ignored Gong Li and chased after Tian. Tian immediately escaped and went deep towards the center of the jungle. He kept changing directions trying to get rid of the assassin, but he wasn''t successful. He found a cave and quickly hid inside the cave. The Assassin lost track of tian and looked around, "No matter where you hide brat, today is your last day!''. He kept looking around the jungle and went ahead in a random direction.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. He went deeper into the cave and heard some growling sound. When he reached the end, Tian heaved a sigh and started tending his wounds leaning the cave wall, he took out the body strengthening potion and used it to recover his strength. Tian initially didn''t notice the group of baby monkey beasts that were staring at him. They were the six eared Monkeys, they were as tiny as a person''s head. When Tian looked at them they got scared and started screaming and running around. They didn''t dare approach him. But a baby monkey that was unique among them, with white fur, approached him and looked at him curiously. Tian took out a fruit from his clothes and put it in front of the money. The monkey kept staring at the fruit and Tian. After a moment it went ahead and took the fruit. The moment it took a bite of it, it got mesmerized with its taste. Its eyes were sparkling like stars when it was eating the fruit. After finishing the fruit, it looked back at Tian and made a baby face. Tian laughed at its tricks and tossed another fruit. The monkey happily ate it. The other monkeys didn''t approach him. Suddenly, "hehehee.....do you think that you can escape from me. I would have given you a peaceful death, but you dared to kill my pet. I will torture you slowly and enjoy you screaming for mercy", the assassin laughed and looked at Tian like a predator looking at its prey. He attacked him with his dagger, Tian tried to dodge it but the assassins attack was too fast. He raised his foot and kicked the assassin''s arm to counter his attack. The assassin dodged his kick and moved two feet back. He again lunged forward swinging his dagger like a hurricane. Tian wasn''t able to counter it and the dagger cut made cuts all over his body. Tian was dripping in blood, but still didn''t give up. He used the Raging fist technique to hit him, the assassins shoulder got hit by the attack. He spat out some blood and looked sinisterly at Tian with a smile. Tian has lost lots of blood and was at the brink of death, he lost his consciousness The Assassin gathered his power and was about to strike Tian to death, just then he heard a loud roar. Rooarrrrrr....!!!! A giant six eared monkey entered the cave, running towards the assassin. The monkey thought that the assassin was attacking its kids. It lunged at him and punched him. The monkey was at blood refinement second layer. Although it was the same cultivation stage as him, wild beasts tend to be much stronger than humans of same cultivation. The punch made the assassin fly back and his body struck the cave wall. He stuck on the wall with his arms and legs wide. The assassin opened his mouth wide in shock. Before the assassin could recover, the monkey grabbed the assassin''s legs with its giant arm and swung him on the ground like a rung and kept hitting his body on the floor left and right as if he were a toy. He didn''t understand why the Giant monkey was attacking him. He felt unfair and wanted to cry, ''what have i done to be so unlucky...waaahhhhh'' The Giant monkey kept striking the assassin till there was no motion from him. It then turned back to see another human inside its cave. Just when it was about to attack Tian, the white furred monkey climbed onto the unconscious Tian and screamed at the Giant monkey. The Giant monkey was confused. Finally it grabbed onto Tians body and placed him in the dented ground at cave''s end. It moved a giant rock and picked out some juice from the hole behind the rock and poured it into Tians mouth. Chapter 14: Return to Camp After the Giant Monkey struck down the assassin, the jammer device that he was having also got crushed. Gong Li noticed that the comm started working again and instantly transmitted information regarding the assassin back to the military camp. Gong Li was holding his pain in, as his whole body was wounded, he couldn''t move. When the military personnel arrived, they immediately gave him healing potions and asked about the situation in detail. Gong Li was worried about Tian and immediately informed everything and asked them to find Tians whereabouts. The Captains veins were bulging with rage, he never imagined that someone would dare intrude into his jurisdiction and had the courage to hurt his people. He immediately order for a search throughout the forest. Tians GPS was still not working and they could not locate him. Inside the cave, Tian was leaning on the wall, he slowly opened his eyes and saw the assassin lying on the floor. There was also a giant monkey staring at him. He didn''t dare move. He also noticed that all his wounds have healed. The monkey suddenly moved and took out a shell filled with orangish liquid. It passes the shell to Tian. Tian didn''t know how to respond, just then the white furred monkey jumped up onto his lap and screamed pointing at the shell. Tian understood that the Giant monkey saved him because of this little monkey and that the liquid was something it was offering to him. He took the shell and drank the liquid. It was sweet and so fragrant that he drank it all in one gulp. The Giant monkey looked at him with wide eyes, as if it was shocked. Instantly, Tian felt his entire body burning. It was as if his body was bursting with energy, and it didn''t have a vent. He instantly sat cross legged and started cultivating. After some time, the energies gradually faded and his body returned to normal. Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Surprisingly, his cultivation rose to Sixth layer of body refinement with just this round of cultivation. It looks like it was all due to the juice provided by the monkey. Tian heard that monkeys collect ripe fruits and store them in someplace which will become monkey wine. But he never knew that it would be this powerful. Tian knew it was time for him to leave. He stood up and bowed towards the monkey. Although the monkey won''t understand what he was doing, he wanted to be thankful to it for saving its life. He went near the Assassins corpse and tried searching his clothes for any evidence of which group he belonged to and why he was attacking him. His communication device was broken and all he could find on him were the dagger and a box. He opened the box and found a memory chip inside it. He didn''t know what it contained and stored it in his clothes. He started leaving the cave, just then the white furred monkey screeched and ran towards him, climbing onto his shoulders. Tian liked the little monkey and knew that the monkey didn''t want him to leave, but he had to, as he didn''t belong here. The Giant monkey kept quiet for some time, after a moment it walked in front of tian and grabbed the little monkey in its palms. It knew that its kids would go out at some point of time, but it didn''t want to let him go.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. The Giant monkey kept staring at Tian seriously as if asking if he can take responsibility for the little monkey. Tian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I will take care him and let not harm come to him" As if the Giant monkey understood what Tian said, it slowly released its grip and placed him before Tian. The little monkey looked at the Giant monkey and Tian, it glanced for a while and climbed onto Tian. Both Tian and the little monkey left the cave under the Giant Monkeys watch. Tian looked at the little monkey and said, "From now on, you will be called Little White", he didn''t know whether Little White was a male or female. Well he couldn''t tell any difference. "Get into my clothes for now, if i carry you like this, it will make a commotion", Little white got into his clothes as it was tiny and it poked its head out from under Tians head, hanging comfortably in his clothes. Tian Sprinted towards the spot where Gong Li was lying and when he was on his way he found a soldier that stopped him. The soldier informed Tian that Gong Li was fine and immediately brought him to the camp. At the camp all the students were resting inside their tents. Miss Li was quarrelling with the Captain, just then she saw Tian and immediately rushed towards him with a worried face. "Tian, are you alright? Where were you all this time? Someone call the medic quickly!!" Miss Li was so worried that she kept shouting. Tians clothes were torn in many places and had cuts, she was so worried that she was about to cry. The Captain came forward, "Miss Li, calm down and let the boy take some rest. Someone, bring Miss Li away", He ordered her to go into her tent. He looked at Tian with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "How are your injuries?" asked the captain as he inspected his body. "I have recovered my injuries, how is sir Gong Li doing", Tian was concerned about Gong Li who tried to protect him with his life. "He is fine, he''ll be able to walk in a day. Looking that you are fine, could you come into my tent and explain what happened with the assassin" The Captain took Tian into his tent and asked what happened after that assassin chased after him. Tian also explained everything to him that has happened taking out Little White in front of the Captain, but he skipped the parts about his body strengthening potion and the Box with memory chip. The Captain was surprised with this guy''s luck, but he knew, luck is also part of one''s strength. "You were brave and were turn the calamity into a blessing, but i have to say that it was our fault that someone has intruded the training grounds and went after your life. For now don''t mention anything about this to anyone. If you need anything, just tell me", the captain didn''t want the news to spread, as he had still not found who the culprit was Tian looked at captain, suddenly he curled his body and acted like he is fainting and said, "Captain, look at me, I am so feeble and lost so much of my blood. It looks like I''ll fall down any moment now~~...What can I do now" "Alright! Alright!, Stop acting now. You can go to the camp''s resource building and anything you want", Captain thought this guy deserved some reward as Tian had suffered so much in his camp. "Captain, I also think that I won''t be able to participate in the future Trainings anymore. Could you please allow me to rest.....it feels like I will collapse at any moment~~~...", Tian really didn''t care about the trainings, all he wanted to do was to sleep "Alright, you won''t have to participate in any trainings. Now go back to your tent!", the Captain didn''t knew how to handle this cunning kid and sent him away. Chapter 15: Yellow Yang Flower When Tian arrived at his tent, he saw Zhang Tie quarrelling with the other three students from his tent. "How could you guys leave Tian alone! Where is he now!!!", Zhang Tie couldn''t believe that these guys would abandon Tian alone in the forest. He was really furious "How can we know where Tian is! Also, it was him who messed up with Xiu Li. Why would we dare to associate with him, knowing this? Do you want us to be dragged into mess too", the other three guys wanted to justify that it was Tian''s fault for messing with the wrong person. They just did what any person would do, avoid the trouble. Zhang Tie was speechless. He never imagined that these guys would even push the blame on Tian. He was so furious that he couldn''t control himself. He swiftly raised his fist and was about to attack the students, just then, "What are you doing brother?", said Tian calmly. He didn''t even give a glance to the other three students. Zhang Tie instantly froze, he looked back and saw Tian. He ignored rest of them and went in front of him, he saw the tethered clothes and all the cuts. Zhang Tie understood that Tian has been through a lot in the forest. "Brother Tian, where were you all this time? Just stay here, I''ll quickly go and bring a medic", before Zhang Tie could run off and chase a medic, he grabbed his back collar and stopped him "I''m fine you idiot. I''ve already healed and am perfect now. Come lets go somewhere else", he didn''t want to have talk in front of these guys. They went towards a empty tent and sat inside. Tian noticed that Zhang Tie has now broken through to the third layer body refinement and is ready to break through to the fourth layer. Zhang Tie must have had his own fruitious encounters. Zhang Tie was really disappointed over his powerless self. He was not even able to protect his brother. He knew even if he was with Tian, he would only be a luggage and would not be able to help in any way. He felt truly powerless. Tian didn''t tell anything about the assassin and only said that he faced a horned wolf and while retreating he found the cave and Little White. He purposefully hid the fact about the assassin, he didn''t want him to get worried. He called little white out and showed him to Zhang Tie. Zhang was amazed with Little White, he was starting at it curiously. When Little White saw Zhang Tie, it acted as if he wasn''t even there. It took the grapes that were placed on the table and after eating them it started to spit the seeds like a bullet towards Zhangs forehead. Tut Tut Tut Tut Tut..... Tian started to laugh like crazy. The monkey and Zhang started to fight like kids. Zhang didn''t understand why the monkey acted like this with him. It tried to please Tian, while fighting with Zhang. After playing with Little White for a while, Tian informed Zhang Tie that he won''t be able to join the upcoming trainings. Zhang Tie also felt that it would be better for Tian to take rest. He left Tian alone to have some rest.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Tian took out the dagger he got from the assassin. It was a good quality dagger, he threw towards a tree trunk. The daggers blade went in three inches deep into the trunk. He tied the scabbard to his belt and placed the dagger inside it. He also tried to know what information the chip contained. He tried to insert it into his mobile, but it was not of the right size. He thought that he will ask Number four about this, so he kept it back inside. He kept resting inside the tent, while Little White went around all the tents sneakily, it looted all the fruits and medical herbs from them and devoured them. But no matter how much it ate, it still stayed the same size. "Who stole my herbs!!" "Aiyoo....I am looted....it''s gone...everything is goneee.....!!!" Cries of students can be heard from everywhere. Even some soldiers got looted by Little White. The Captain finally called a order to monitor all the tents. Finally, Little White kept calm and started digesting all the herbs it ate these few days. It was six days since they came for the training. After tomorrows training, everyone would return back to school. Tian finally came out of his tent and went towards the resource building. The soldier initially wanted to stop him from entering, but after confirming that Captain has allowed Tian to take anything from the ware house, he let him in. Tian was shocked to find that there was nothing useful in there. It was filled with normal herbs and a few rare herbs. There! were! no! spirit! herbs! here. Tian howled inside his mind. He finally gave up and though he will take whatever was of slight use. He started taking herbs that he could use to make a few low quality potions that he knew. Suddenly, Little White started screeching and pointed its finger at a rack. Tian didn''t understand what it was trying to say, but he went to the rack to find what was there. He saw nothing special over there, he was about to go back then suddenly he stopped. He saw a red-yellow leafed herb with a flower that looked like lava. ''Oh my god! This is the Yellow Yang Flower!'', Tian never expected to find anything special here but was shocked to find a rare spiritual herb instead. He wasn''t able to detect the herb because the other herbs were absorbing its residual yang energy. Little White wanted to grab the herb and eat it, Tian stopped it, "This is not eating Little White! This is important for me, I will give you lots of other herbs to compensate for this okay", Tian convinced Little White and gave him some rare herbs to eat. It dejectedly took off into his shirt. He instantly took it and shoved it inside his clothes. After searching for some time, Tian didn''t find anything else. He left with a few rare herbs in his hands. The Soldier guarding thought that there was nothing worth noting with those herbs and didn''t even inspect properly and let him take them. ''With this herb, I''ll be able to successfully break through into blood refinement realm. I just need to find purple yin ginseng to neutralize the strong effect of Yellow Yang Flower'', after the incident with the Assassin, Tian realized how important it was for him to get stronger fast. He gripped him fist and went to his tent. Zhang Tie has changed a lot during these few days. After finding himself powerless to aid Tian in any way, he started cultivating diligently. He performed overwhelmingly during the training. Eventually he broke through into Fourth layer body refinement, but he was still not satisfied and kept hunting beasts stronger than him and cultivating furiously. Chapter 16: Run away! Finally, the training was completed. Everyone was exhausted with the training, but were still having glowing faces, knowing that they will be able to go back home. Tian visited Gong Li, before he left. Tian had left a good expression with Gong Li and the Captain. After going back home, he introduced his grandma to Little White. Tian''s grandma instantly fell in love with it. Little White also didn''t act rashly and shown affection to grandma Wang. Next day, Tian went to the Bandits Cabin. He wanted to know more about the Assassins chip. He thought Number four might know something about it. The moment he stepped into the cabin, he saw all of the bandits were heavily injured. The Bandits noticed Tian but none of them were able to move except Number Five. He immediately walked towards him. "What happened...", asked Tian in a heavy tone. He was furious, after seeing them all injured. "We are extremely sorry young master. After you left two weeks back, we had a discussion. We wanted to something for you, our benefactor. We thought, taking out all other bandits in this area will be good and we will also be able to raise some money for you. Initially we were successful, but just three days before, a powerful cultivator appeared among the Red Wolf Bandits. We weren''t able to defend ourselves against him. We had to flee with from there to escape his assault", Number One explained as he looked down. He knew that no matter what he said, it was them who started all of this and that they didn''t even inform anything to the Young master. He awaited Tians response in silence. Tian didn''t know what to do with these guys. Although it was a good idea to take down other bandit groups in the area, he knew that it had its own backlash. He looked at them, ''I''ll deal with you guys later'', thought Tian. "Where is the location of Red Wolf Bandits", Tian knew that it was best not to let such powerful bandit roam around in his area. He wanted to get rid of him first. "Young master!, although you are strong, that person is also very strong. I think its best if we can rest for now", Number Two said to convince Tian. "I think you didn''t hear me. I SAID WHERE IS THEIR LOCATION!" The bandits got scared when seeing their young master angry. They weren''t able to convince him. Number Five, who suffered the least injuries, said "I''ll take you there Young master" Number Five thought that if things get ugly, he''ll take young master and instantly flee from there. The rest of them didn''t speak. They wanted to go along with Young Master, but were unable to. They gritted their teeth. Tian followed behind Number Five, they travelled for sometime and finally reached their destination. There were a few wooden houses in that place, it was fenced with wood and a there was a guard at the entrance. When he saw Number Five he instantly ran inside and called his boss. A Huge man with bulging muscles and long red hair came out while drinking wine from a gourd.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. He emptied the gourd and struck the empty gourd on the ground, looking at Number Five. "Hehehehe.....Looks like you didn''t learn your lesson after running for your life once. Where are you other goons. Its sad that they didn''t come with you, because I''m going to bury you alive!", the Red haired bandit grinned and took out his large sword. He dashed towards him and raised swung his sword. But before it could land on Number Five, Tian blocked it with his dagger and was pushed back a few steps. The Red hair bandit was surprised to find a kid blocking his attack, "Who are you kid! Do you even know who you are facing", he once again jumped up and launched another attack. Tian deflected the sword with his dagger and kicked the bandit in his stomach. The bandit immediately took a few steps back and stared viciously at Tian. The bandit released his full energy. He was someone at First Layer of Blood refinement. Tian finally realized the strength of his opponent and he too released his full strength. The bandit kept hacking at Tian, while he kept dodging it and retreating. Tian was stuck in a tight spot. Just when the bandit was about to slash onto Tians chest, Number five jumped between them. The bandit slashed Number Five''s back. Number five coughed up blood and collapsed on the ground. Tian was covered in Number Five''s blood. He was utterly aghast, his eyes began to burn furiously. He started to burn his life essence and started attacking the bandit without care for his wounds. The Bandit felt that Tian has suddenly grown stronger than him. He started to defend himself but was unable to keep up with Tians speed. He took a chance and pushed his sword with all his might against Tians dagger. Swishhh....The dagger flew off from Tians hands. The bandit''s eyes shone brightly. He raised his sword high to land a final attack at Tians head. But before he could attack, Tian collected all his energy into his fist and roared, "Raging!!! Fist!!!!!!!!!" Booommmmm....!!!!!!! Tian punched the bandit''s chest with his full power. The bandits ribs broke and he started to fly back at high speed. His body rolled and tumbled on the ground, landing a few meters away from Tian. The bandit was dead!!!! Everyone else started to flee. If a blood refinement stage cultivator could be killed, then they were nothing for him. Tian fell on his one knee, he was out of energy. He dragged his body with one leg and reached Number Five. Number Five was still breathing, but he wasn''t able to talk. Tian took out a gourd, he had collected some Monkey wine before he left the giant monkeys cave. He used other herbs to control its strong effects and make it stable. He poured the wine into Number Five''s mouth. The wine immediately started taking effect. Number Five''s body began to convulse and he unconsciously groaned in pain. Suddenly, his energy began to grow and surprisingly he broke through to fourth level of body refinement. Number Five coughed and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Tian completely covered in blood, "Young master! Run! Run away right now! I''ll stop him", he furiously yelled at Tian. Tian was moved, he never imagined that Number Five would be willing to give his life for him. This guy didn''t even realize his breakthrough to the fourth layer. Tian pointed his finger towards the bandit''s corpse. When Number Five saw the scene, he was completely shocked. He never imagined that Tian could kill such a strong cultivator. Tian drank some monkey wine and recovered his energy. He stood up and said, "Let''s go.....", both of them started heading back to the Bandits cabin. Chapter 17: Second Life Tian and Number Five went back to the bandit''s cabin. The other guys were finally relaxed, knowing that Tian has returned safely. After experiencing how much the bandits care about him, he was very much moved. Tian Instructed Number Five to give monkey wine to everyone. After taking the wine, everyone experienced intense pain, after that their injuries healed and they started to break through one by one. Number Two was the only one who didn''t break through. He was heavy hearted, but happy at the same time that his brothers broke through to the third layer of body refinement. Number One came forward, "We thank you with our lives young master!", he kneeled on his knees. After which all the others did the same, "We Thank You, Young Master!" "Get up, don''t you dare kneel in front of me again", Tian felt it was not right for them to kneel to him. They got up on their feet and started chatting with young master about the things they had done after he was gone. The Bandits have took down over seven gangs. Some of them left, but many of the gang members pleaded to come under their wing. Now they had over 48 people under them. They also have looted many miscellaneous stuff and also 52 thousand yuan. Tian was shocked, ''Have I become a underworld Don Now?!!''. Number Four had already transferred all the money to Tian, which he wasn''t aware of. After settling down on things, Tian called Number four, taking out the chip he looted from the Assassin and put it in front of him. "Do you know what this thing is?" Number four instantly recognized it and said, "Yes Young master, this is a virtual transaction chip. People often use this to cover their tracks, when transacting with someone. It is nearly impossible to find out who transferred the money to this chip, so it is safe if someone wants to keep privacy while doing transactions" Number four went into his room and bought out his VR gear, he removed a chip module from the gear and connected it to Tian''s phone. He then inserted the chip into the module. Ding! It prompted for a password. Tian didn''t knew what the password was. He then took out the box and checked it. He found a small paper tucked on one side of the box. There was some string of characters written on it. Number four inserted that into the phone. It successfully got unlocked. Number four was completely dumbfounded after he opened it. Tian was puzzled over what happened, he took the mobile and realized that the sum inside the chip was a whopping 2 Million yuan. He didn''t knew that his Young Master will be so rich. "What the-..." Tian didn''t knew who was so dumb or so damn rich to put a bounty of two million on his head. He was completely shocked. "Boss, with this amount of money, we will be able to buy any food we want. We can get all the delicacies in the world..!!!", Number six, the glutton, started thinking about all the things he can eat with that money. He started to drool, imagining that he was in a food paradise, covered entirely in delicious food.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Number three struck him on his head and kept his mouth shut. The money had come at the right time. Tian wanted to buy purple yin ginseng and break through into blood refinement realm. With this, he can get even more resources and improve his strength. Number four realized that Tian must have got this money from someone, he then transferred the money from the chip to Tian. "Boss, what do we do about the other bandits that have joined us?", Number one knew that all of them were serving young master, so he wanted to know how he should utilize these men. "Do as you wish", Tian was completely lazy. He had trouble dealing with these six members and now they want him to handle these other guys too!! He already started missing his bed. They talked for a while and Tian guided them on their cultivation. Just when Tian was about to leave, Number four told him that he must get VR gear. He wanted Tian to create his account in second life. All the people in this modern world, who can afford it, had created accounts in second life. It was like a necessity now. Tian approved of it, instantly Number four fanatically started to show all the VR gadgets that were available. He wanted Tian to buy the most expensive Immersive VR gear. It was able to simulate 99.9% of realism and was at the top of hierarchy. It costed a whopping 9 thousand yuan. Tian left for his home and by the time he reached, the express delivery of Second Life had already delivered the VR headset to his home. Tian was really curious about this so called ''Virtual world''. He took it to his bedroom and unpacked it. Little white was who was accompanying grandma Wang all this time, came up with Tian. It took the bubble wrap and started playing with it. It was really fun. After unpacking it, he wore the gear as the instruction said and slept on his bed. He powered it ON. Suddenly the world around him went white, "Welcome to Second Life!", a white tiny fairy stood in front of him. It asked him to choose a name for the virtual world and also gave an option to change his appearance. He was lazy to choose a second name, but when it came to the appearance, Tian didn''t want to look like a little boy. He changed his appearance to that of his previous life. It was really weird for Tian to look at his old self, it brought him back all the memories from his previous life. The fairy started to talk about various instructions. In Second life, every person has the same power level, it was to keep the people from one level bullying with others of lower level. Second Life was like what the title said, it was a second life for all the people living on earth. After entering, Tian looked at his own body. It was like he was transported to a new world. He felt that this was more realistic than the illusionary arrays that he had seen in his previous life. Tian went ahead and teleported to the location of Pan Long Organization''s virtual shop. He stood in front of a tall building. When he entered, he found the inside of the shop very spacious. There were many people looking at different things they wanted to buy. Tian noticed, many people had basically the same grey colored clothing, except a few. There were all kinds of things inside. Medical herbs, precious ores, technological gadgets, weapons, armors....It was like a carnival for Tians eyes, he stood there watching everything around him. Just then, "Hey you idiot, get out of my way", someone shouted from behind him. The white haired man was wearing luxurious clothing''s and had two seductively beautiful women beside him. He was looking at Tian like he was looking at an ant, with disgust in his eyes. Chapter 18: Unlimited Potion Formulas Tian ignored the white haired guy and went to the robotic assistant. He asked the assistant about the Purple yin ginseng. The white haired guy was completely furious that Tian ignored him. He shouted, "How dare you ignore me!!" Tian didn''t bother about him, the assistant displayed the herb to Tian. It floated in air and a panel appeared beside it showing some information about the herb and its price. When the guy say the price, he was completely shocked. It was 42 thousand yuan. He started to think that the Tian was trying to show off with him. ''Let''s see how you are going to pay for such a pricy herb'', he thought that Tian didn''t have any money. "Kid, don''t try to bluff in front of me. If you can really pay for that herb, then I''ll call you my grandpa", he started to laugh hysterically "Sorry, but i would never have such an ugly grandson", Tian ignored him and bought the herb. The instant Tian paid for the herb, the White haired guy completely froze. He never thought that this simple looking guy, who didn''t even change his beginner''s clothes, would be so damn rich. Tian went ahead and bought some other herbs. He wanted to make a potion to rejuvenate his grandma''s body. He knew his grandma was getting old, the rejuvenation potion would increase her life span by 10 years and let her have a healthy body. After buying everything he needed, Tian went to the Alchemy association. A person greeted him inside "Hello sir, Welcome to the Tri Star Alchemy Association. What services would you like to have? We provide rare herbs that you can''t find anywhere else, we sell all kinds of potions and potion formulas. You can also request for an Alchemy master to make a potion for you. Here at Tri Star Alchemy Association, you can find anything related to Alchemy and potions", the guide said in a proud tone. "I want to take sell potion formulas", after buying all the herbs he needed, Tian was left with only 2,130 yuan. He knew a lot about potions, he was like a walking Alchemy encyclopedia. He wanted to make some money from it. The moment Tian said those words, the smile on the guide''s face vanished completely. It was replaced with a dejected expression. "Sorry sir, if you do not want to get any services then you can get out of here" There were always a lot of people coming over to alchemy association saying that they want to sell potion formulas, but all of them were fake. There was once a time, when he believed the words of a person and brought him to meet with a Alchemy master. The Alchemy master was so angry, that he ordered his manager to beat him in real world. Tian was completely dumbfounded, he didn''t understand why the guide didn''t believe in him. He didn''t want to return empty handed right now. "Listen to me brother, if you don''t believe me, then i will give you the formula of a healing potion. You could get that checked and then buy the rest of the formulas i have", Tian said as he started writing down the formula of a simple healing potion. It was not a precious thing anyway. For him, potion formulas were nothing. The guide was completely speechless. ''Since when did potion formulas started growing out like cabbages!''. He didn''t want to believe in anything he was saying. But there was tiny hope, if the potion formula was real then he will be getting his promotion very soon.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. Finally, he took a deep breath and accepted what Tian said. He noted down the potion formula and sent it back to headquarters for Alchemy masters to verify. Tian heaved a sigh. While he was waiting for them to confirm the potion formula, Tian started to check out the herbs inside the Alchemy association. He was shocked to find all the precious herbs they were selling, they were even selling spiritual herbs. The herbs they sold here are on a higher level than the herbs sold at Pan Long Organization. But after seeing the price of the spiritual herbs, Tian was flabbergasted. Seven million, fourteen million, sixty million. The prices were touching the skies. Tian truly felt like a beggar, when he saw the sky high prices of the herbs. Just then, he heard sound of chimes. The guide looked perplexed and looked towards the center of the hall. A white pillar of light rose and a person with long white beard, wearing azure robe appeared. The guide instantly bent 90 degree and gave a deep bow to the old man, "Greetings Master!" This person was the head of External affairs, in the Alchemy Association, Huang Zi. He never imagined such an important person to appear before him. "Was that you who sent the potion formula?" "Yes master! This young man is the one who was trying to sell the formula", the guide was extremely nervous, he didn''t know if the elder was here to punish him or that the potion formula was real. He waited in utter silence. "Ho Ho.....Hello Young man, Welcome to Tri star Alchemy Association. Could you follow me into the private room", Huang Zi said as he welcomed him into the private room. The guide was in utter disbelief. ''It was real!!!, the potion formula was really genuine!!!'', he was floating on cloud nine. Inside the private room, Tian sat down on the furniture and looked towards Huang Zi, as if expecting him to talk first. "Young man, could I know where you got this recipe from?", although the power of the healing potion made with this recipe was very low, the formula was different from anything else he had seen. He truly wanted to know the origins of this potion formula. "I am not to disclose this information, I was tasked to sell some of the useless formulas by my master and get money for his research", by looking at Huang Zi, Tian understood that even a simple formula can cause great attention to him. He wanted to hide the fact that he was the one providing the formula. By adding in this little story, they would be even more convinced and will not arose any suspicion Huang Zi was surprised by what Tian Said. Even though the formula he gave out was for a normal healing potion, if it was to be auctioned in the real world, then it would be sold in millions. Potion formulas were all controlled by the Tri star Alchemy Association. It was really hard for outsiders to get their hands on potion formulas, so there were very limited amount of formulas being circulated in the market. To treat them as trash, he truly didn''t know what sort of genius Tian''s master was. Huang Zi wanted to verify weather Tian was bluffing before he can start believing in what he said, "Could you please show me the formulas that your master wanted to sell, it would be better if i see them first" Tian expected this. He started transmitting data regarding many potion formulas to Huang Zi. Tian was not afraid of the old man to deceive him, he understood that their organization would not dare to ruin their reputation, over some potion formulas. Huang Zi was completely shocked, he felt like he was going to get a heart attack. Just by the sheer number of formulas that Tian was transferring to him. Violent Berserk Potion, Energy restoration potion, light healing potion, Thunder reining potion, Green dusk potion... Chapter 19: Promotion Huang Zi was completely dumbfounded. He didn''t even knew how to react, "Are all of these formulas made by your master?!". "Yes, these are some of his very early works. It basically has no use for him now, so he wants to sell them", Tian kept on his act of being errand boy of a powerful Alchemy master "Can I meet your master. Our Association really wants someone like him. I can promise him that he will at least get the position of an elder if he joined", Huang was frantically taking about taking Tian''s master in to their organization. Someone who can make so many potion formulas is definitely worth it for them to make him into an elder. "I am sorry, but i cannot decide for my master. He usually prefers not be associated with anyone, that is why i am the only person under his guidance. No one even knows his name or where he lives. You don''t know how much of a pressurizing it is for me to handle everything alone", Tian started showing his acting skills. It was not yet the time for him to join the Alchemy association. With his knowledge in Alchemy, even the head of the organization is not eligible to be his disciple. All he needed from them are the resources. Huang Zi understood that this man in front of him is the only way for him to be in contact with that master. Their organization is the heaven for alchemists, he was sure that he would be able to rope-in that master into the organization, given some time. Right now, his priority should be to get Tian to his side, so that he could persuade his master to join the association. "That''s alright. I understand that your master wants to research in seclusion, that actually shows how dedicated he on Alchemy. I will make sure to give you the best price for these potions", He started to look at all the potions once again and started analyzing them. All the formulas that Tian provided are high grade low level potion formulas, which are mostly useful for those in Blood refinement realm and below. ''No wonder his master didn''t care about these potion formulas'', though Huang. But still, although the potion formulas are useful mainly for blood refinement stage and below, majority of the cultivators are in this realm. So, there would a great market for these and its value is almost on par with lower level mid-grade potion formulas. After a moment of silence, Huang looked at Tian. Tian was sitting casually in front of the Old man. He was so indulged with the potion formulas, that he didn''t properly observe the man in front of him. Tian had a very calm look even when facing someone of his level, it made him different from all the others he had seen before. Wherever he went, people try to fawn over him and wanted to make connections with him. But this young man didn''t even put him in his eyes. "I have analyzed everything. There are 8 low grade, 6 mid-grade and 5 high grade low level formulas in here. The total value of them is equal to 48 Million. But seeing that your master is need of money for his research, lets round it up to 60 Million. What do you think?", Huang spoke calmly. It was as if the amount of money is not even worth putting in his eyes. Tian almost lost his calm attitude. ''Who the heck rounds 48 Million to 60 Million?!! Am i crazy or are they filthy rich?''This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Tian calmed down and said, "Alright, please transfer the amount to this number", TIan gave the number of the chip he got from Assassin, just in case if something goes wrong. Huang was surprised with Tian''s clam look. He never imagined this youth to not even flinch, when facing such a big amount of money. Huang was calm because although 60 Million was a big amount for anyone, the organization is a super-giant and this amount was not even equal to plucking a hair for them. Huang started to re-assess TIan in his mind. After Tian confirmed that the money transferred, Tian stood up to leave. Huang stopped him and took out a crystal black card and offered it to Tian. "Before you leave, this is a VIP membership card. With this, you can purchase anything from Tri Star Alchemy Associations services at a discount of 40%. Please accept it" Tian glanced at the crystal card, "Thank you for you generosity!". Tian took the crystal. "Do you know where I can find a alchemy cauldron?", Tian was still doubtful, weather this world''s Alchemists use a cauldron for refining potions. He wanted to test the waters "We do have many Cauldrons, but they are all being used by the Alchemists at the headquarters. It would take some time to bring them here. I heard that the Heavens Fortune Auction house is having an auction in three days. Someone insider that i know, gave a tip that a cauldron would be put up for auction. If you want, you can try to visit the auction. I just happen to have a extra invite for the auction", Huang took out a invite card and gave it to TIan. Finally he had done something to get Tian closer to him "Thank you Sir! I will not forget the favor", Tian knew how important the cauldron for his future. If he can get his hands on one, then Huang would have done a huge favor for him. "It''s alright. Also, I am not that old. You can just call me brother Huang", Huang took the chance Tian was left agape, ''If you are not old, then am i a toddler? Heck!''. He understood that he was trying to get closer to him, so that he will be able to get the Mysterious master on his side. He heaved a sigh and said, "Thank you brother Huang. I''ll take my leave now, as i still need to do many tasks assigned by master" Huang smiled and accompanied Tian to the outside. When the Guide saw that, he was completely dumbfounded. How the heck did this boy got the External elder to accompany him till the gate. After Tian left, Huang looked at the guide and asked, "What''s your name?" "I am Zhou Lan master, I am a guide placed here by my manager", Zhou Lan said, controlling his excitement "From now on you won''t need to be a guide. You will be in charge of managing the Huang city branch. You can take your leave", Huang Zi said and disappeared from there. Zhou Lan was completely shocked, he was left speechless. He never imagined that he would be directly promoted to the level of a store manager! It was the luckiest day of his life. Tian was his lucky charm. Chapter 20: Auction Begins After Tian left the Alchemy association, he roamed around a little bit and then logged off. When he took off his VR gear, he saw little white sleeping beside him. It was snoring happily in sleep. Tian took out his phone and checked the balance in his chip. After thinking for a while, he sent 3 Million to Number One. He knew that these guys have given everything they had to him. They would also need to take care of the new members, so he thought that this could take care of the issue. When Number One found the amount that has been transferred, he was left in shock. He never imagined that young master would trust them so much, that he would let them handle such a large amount of money. All the Six bandit brothers came discussed and finally came to a conclusion. Young master had trusted them with the money, so they must think of something to make the best use of it. Number Three thought of an idea. In the ancient world, people used to live in groups called clans. But the concept didn''t last long in the Modern society. Later, after the change started to happen on earth, the concept of clans is popular again. Many powerful families formed their own clans and started to recruit people under their banner. Number Three suggested to form a clan as they had many members under them now, with young master being the clan leader and with the six of them managing the clan, they could slowly grow into a local power. Everyone instantly agreed on that. They started to think of a location to build their clan, they thought that they would register the land around the wooden cabin and use this location itself as the base of the clan. They kept on discussing on various things, like how the clan building should look like, what should be the roles of each person and other such things. The very next day, they started the construction of the clan. They ordered the bandits they took down to clear the area surrounding the cabin. Number two went to the Huang city and registered the land around the cabin. Number two was wiser than the other bandits and kept wide range of connections with many people in the Huang city. Using their help, he was able to easy get the procedures done. The Pan Long Company took the order of building the Clan building and started working as soon as they received the payment. All in all, it costed 2.4 Million to register the land, pay for construction and all other furniture. The Area of the clan was around one Acre (4046 Sq. Meters). Tian didn''t knew what the bandits were doing. He wanted to refine potion, but knowing that he might soon get his hands on a cauldron, he put that on hold. If he could concoct the potions in a Cauldron, then it would also increase the efficiency of the potions. After three days, Tian logged into Second Life. Before going to the auction house, he made sure to change his attire. He didn''t want to attract any attention, so he bought a blue robe from the virtual store for 5000 yuan and changed with his beginner clothes. He teleported to the location of Heavens Fortune Auction House. Tian saw men and women of many shapes and sizes, young and old, entering the Auction House. There was a barrier preventing people without invitations from entering the Auction House. There was a large hall after the entrance. There were all kinds of food placed all around. Although this is virtual world, It also simulated 99.9% of realism. So there were many people who preferred eating food in Second Life. It was especially true for women. They wanted to maintain the shape of their figures so much that they strictly maintained their diet in the real world. But in Second Life, they get to taste all the food in the world and not gain any weight. It was like heaven for them. Many women started to gouge on the food.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Tian also went ahead and tasted different kind of foods in there. He truly had to say, the food he ate in the divine world was not a match for this world''s food. He instantly fell in love with Kung Pao Chicken. After a while, everyone started to leave to the auction area. There were many assistants guiding the people towards their seatings. When Tian displayed his invitation to the young lady assistant, there was a look of shock in her eyes. She immediately bowed to him and brought him to a large room. He was able to get a bird''s eye view of the auction from there. He saw that this room was at the highest location, there were four layers of seatings. One was an open area around the auction area, which looked like a opera theatre. Above that there were rooms of varying sizes divided into three categories. Looks like the invite that Huang Zi has provided, was of the highest tier. People began to fill the auction area and the Auction was about to start. The center of Action area suddenly had a bright light pillar, after it dissipated, a stunningly beautiful women was standing over there. Her beauty was beyond description, seducing the hearts of all those that saw her. She stepped forward, "Greetings everyone and Welcome to the Heavens Fortune Auction House!!!!, My Name is Liu Liu and I''m your hostess today!" "This time, we have a lot of unique items for the Auction, I know you can''t wait any longer, so let''s get started!!!", Liu Liu cheered the crowd with full of energy. "The first item for today''s auction is.....The Azure bronze sword forged by the great blacksmith Rhong Lu. This is a Mid-grade Sword, the starting price is 7 million", Liu Liu displayed the sword that hovered in front of everyone. "10 Million!" "11 Million!" "14 Million!" 15 Million....18 Million.....20 Million...The price kept on raising. Finally it was sold for 24 Million Yuan. Tian was completely shocked to find that a single mid-grade sword could be sold for such high price. "Let'' move to the next item. This is a miracle potion, produced by an Alchemist from the Tri Star Alchemy Association. This is the Purple Strike potion, using this, any normal person can instantly break through directly into the Body refinement realm. There are a total of 52 potions. The starting price is 1 million yuan" 1.5 Million...2 Million.....3 Million...The price didn''t increase much. It was sold for 3.7 million to a Merchant Family. This potion was something that only those newly rich want. The veterans didn''t even gave it a glance. Tian was not interested in that too, as he now had the money to make break through potions. "The next item to be auctioned is not actually a real item, but a virtual item", as soon as Liu Liu said that, a commotion broke out in the auction house. Who would want to buy a virtual item that they couldn''t even use in the outside world. They were not really interested in these things. "I know that you are all disappointed that its a virtual item, but trust me if you hear the name of the item, you''ll be definitely interested in this", Liu Liu said, as she displayed a item in front of the crowd. Not many understood what the item actually was, but those from powerful family backgrounds definitely understood what it was. A middle aged man couldn''t hold his excitement and yelled out loudly, "The Origin Key!!!" Chapter 21: The Origin Key Tian was confused as many others regarding the key. Everyone attentively looked towards Liu Liu, hoping that she would fill them in about the Virtual item. "Second Life. It is the virtual world that has become a second home to humanity. Everyone can live in this world, as if it is a real world. But no one knows, where the servers of this Virtual world are. There is no scientist on earth, who was able to create something that can come even half as close as Second Life. No one was able to achieve this" "The creator of Second Life, Doctor Kazumaki Shizu, has left behind a message before his death. That whoever finds the truth behind Second Life, will get to inherit the entire Second Life, as their own property. He has left behind three clues, for us. The Bronze Goat head, the Purple lotus and finally The Origin Key." "It is said, that whoever gathers all three of these, will be able to uncover the Secrets of Second Life", Liu Liu intentionally lowered her voice and stood there for a moment, looking at everyone present. Then she suddenly waved her hand towards the Origin Key, "The starting price of Origin Key is 100 Million", many of them went dumbfounded. Tian was even more shocked. But before anyone could even recover, many powerful people had already started their bids. "200 Million" "400 Million" "1 Billion!!!!" It looked like there was no stopping them when it came to this item. The bid kept on increasing. 2 Billion....5 Billion....9 Billion... Finally a old man with a long beard, in purple robes gave a loud shout, "15 Billion!" Everyone went silent. They never imagined that the price would reach such a high level. Even Liu Liu was shocked to find that it will reach 15 Billion. No one raised the bids anymore and old man got the Origin Key. There was a large grin on his face, as if he got the key in bargain price. Tian realized that the Second Life wasn''t as simple as he thought it was. There were many mysteries behind it. He took a deep breath and waited for the cauldron to be auctioned. There were many items that were auctioned after the Origin key. But they weren''t able to reach high price levels. They were all below 500 million. "The next item is something that all Alchemists seek to obtain. We are starting off the bids for the Green Jade Cauldron with 10 Million", finally the item that he wanted to obtain has appeared. Tian though that he might be able to obtain the Cauldron with 60 million, but looks like it might not be enough. "15 Million" "15 Million one hundred", Tian shouted "20 Million" "20 Million one hundred" "25 Million" "25 Million one hundred" Tian kept on adding a hundred yuan to whatever the others bid. He was fixated on obtaining the Cauldron today.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. 30 Million...30 Million one Hundred.....35 Million.....35 Million one Hundred.... After some time, many people stopped bidding. There was only a young man in black robes and Tian bidding on the Cauldron. The Black robed man looked viciously towards Tian''s chamber and continued to bid. It has finally reached 60 Million, Tian didn''t have any money more than that. He kept quiet for a while. The black robed man laughed heartily, thinking that Tian has backed down. He thought that the cauldron was as good as his. "60 Million one Hundred!", Tian gritted his teeth and continued to bid. 70 Million.....80 Million.....100 Million.....it looked like neither of them were willing to back down. The young man looked towards Tian''s cabin and said, "Esteemed sir, i think it would not do both of us any good, if we continued like this. Why don''t you give us, the Black Moon Alchemy Association, some face and back down for now. We will definitely not forget your favor", His master wanted to get the cauldron no matter what. The price of the cauldron has already exceeded, what his organization has provided him for. He will have to pay from his pocket for the additional cost. He hoped that Tian would give up. "Who are you to me, why should i give you any face? Continue to bid if you want to, else just get the heck out of here", Tian roared towards the black robed man. He will take this cauldron with him today, no matter what The black robed man was completely infuriated, if not for being in the virtual world, he might have already attacked Tian. "Very well, let''s see how much you''ve got!" They continued to bid and the bid kept on increasing. 110 Million...120 Million....140 Million....170 Million..... Finally, when the price reached 190 Million, the black robed guy gave up on it. Even if he scraped up his entire fortune, he might not be able to buy that. Tian heaved a sigh of relief. But he was completely devastated. He now had to pay the excess money of 130 Million yuan. His heart started to bleed. Tian called the assistant beside him and whispered something in her ears, then he transmitted some data her. The assistant instantly stood there as if lightning struck her, then she instantly teleported from there and disappeared. After a while she came back with a smiling face, "Its done sir", she said in a confirmative tone. Down at the auction area, Liu Liu was about to end the auction, after the bid for the final item was completed. She received some data and had a confused face. She turned towards the audience. "Esteemed guests, looks like there is a sudden addition to the auction items. There is one more item to be auctioned before closing this event" Everyone looked at her surprisingly, Addition of a item suddenly at the end of auction is uncommon. "The item you''re about to see is a High-Grade, Mid-Level Potion Formula. The Blazing Spirit Potion!", as soon as Liu Liu announced that it was a High-Grade Mid-Level Potion, the crowd instantly went crazy. It was very rare for even a Low-Grade Mid-Level potion to be auctioned. But now there was something even crazier than that. "We have confirmed with our Master Alchemists before placing it before you. The Blazing Spirit potion can increase the total Spiritual Qi of a person by 40% for a period of 8 hours! The starting price for the Potion formula is 50 Million!", Liu Liu said in a very energetic tone. This potion was something that every clan would desire. No matter which super power it was, they wanted to get their hands on it. "100 Million" "300 Million" "600 Million!" A crazy bid was has started once again, All the super powers participated in the bid. This was something that every single person wanted. Tian has underestimated the difference between a potion and a potion formula. He realized what he had given out was basically a ''power up'' for the strong forces out there. He watched the bidding continue to reach heart breaking prices. 800 Million....900 Million....1 Billion.....!!!!!!!!! Chapter 22: The Rising Chaos Sect Finally, the Zhang clan successfully got the bid for 1.2 Billion Yuan. Although the potion formula was a rare one, not everyone was willing to spent more money than its value. Tian was completely shocked. He never imagined that a single High-grade Mid-Level potion formula could be sold for such a high price. After the bid for Tian''s potion formula was completed, everyone started to teleport away. The assistant approached him, "Your item has been successfully auctioned sir, we have transferred the amount to your account, after deducting the cost of the item you have bought" Tian checked and found 1 billion in his account. The auction house was actually making a lot of money through these auctions. They charge a certain amount of money, from the item owner, for every item they auction. Tian checked that everything was fine and logged out of second life. Tian waited for a day, after which he received a message to collect his auction item from a random location near him. They sent a password along with it. The auction house did this to protect the user''s privacy. They would drop the auctioned item in the random location, selected by the user using drones. The drop would be protected by an energy shield, unless one entered the correct password, no one will be able to enter the shield and collect the drop. Tian selected the jungle near him and went to collect the item. After entering the password, the box opened and inside it was a cauldron. The cauldron had markings of dragons on it. Tian excitedly looked at the cauldron, he then hurried back to the bandit''s cabin. When he reached the location, Tian''s mind was completely blank. He just froze looking at everything in front of him. He saw a large wall covering an area of more than a Acre. Inside, there was a large area covered in fake mountains, mini pools and other decorative landscapes. At the center of them all, stood a large mansion, It was a three storey mansion built in the Chinese architecture. While Tian was gaping and looking at things around him, a guard holding a spear appeared in front of him, "Hey kid! who are you? This isn''t a place you can roam around. Go back to your home" Tian looked at him, he didn''t replay and called out loudly, "Number One, Number Two....everyone, where the hell are you!! Get here this instant!", Tian was completely confused of what was going on over here. He called out the bandit brothers loudly. When the guard heard the shout, he was completely dumbstruck, he didn''t understand how this kid had the guts to call out the names of their managers. He tried to shove him out of the gate, just then he heard someone. "Young Master! We''re here young master!", Everyone quickly hurried and assembled in front of him. Number six has become so fat, when he was running, it looked like a water balloon was jiggling around. Surprisingly everyone has broken through to fourth layer, including Number two. While number five was already at sixth layer of body cultivation. "Can anyone care to explain what is going on around here?!" Tian said calmly as he gazed towards the six brothers. "Young Master, do you remember that we have recently taken many bandits under us. We wanted to make ourselves of some use to you, so we thought that by setting up a clan, we will be of much more help to you. We have used the money you have sent us and bought the land around us and built this clan building. Now we can properly register as a clan young master", Number two said as he looked excitedly towards Tian.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Tian didn''t know what to say. No matter when it was, these freaks would always do something the moment he left them alone. He was having a headache, on what to do with them. But he understood, that setting up a clan would help him in the long term, So he kept quiet about it and walked inside the clan building. The Hall inside the mansion was very large and looked majestic. These guys didn''t spare anything and went all out for making the clan building. At the center of the hall, there was a seat placed on top of a platform. Tian went ahead and sat on it. The size of the seat was too big for him. He leaned onto the hand-rest of the seat, asked them about what was going on. Initially there were 48 bandits under them, who have now turned into guards. Now with the addition of maids and servants, there were more than 60 people now. Tian was amazed to find that after the bandit brothers started to train all the guards, along with the resources they bought, most of the guards have already reached the first layer of body refinement realm. After talking some more time, Tian went to a private room and took out all the herbs and the cauldron. He started to refine the Yellow Yang Flower along with Purple Yin Ginseng, then he added many other herbs along with it. After an hour, Tian was holding a purple colored potion in his hands. He sat cross legged and drank the potion. The effects of the yellow yang flower were neutralized, yet there were raging energies within it. Tian started to sweat, he controlled his raging spiritual energy to circulate it all around his body. His blood began to boil, his entire skin became red like a hot iron. He kept on circulating the potions energy in his body. psshhhhhh...It sounded like someone poured water on a red hot metal. Sweat began to evoporate from his body. Boommmm.....!!! Tian stood up and started to circulate his energy. He could feel the high amount of energy inside his body. He had successfully broken through to Blood refinement realm. Now his blood can carry twice the amount of spiritual qi than when he was in body refinement realm. When Tian went out, he was greeted by Number Three, who stood guard at the private room. He nodded towards him. Everyone gathered in the Main Hall once again. Tian checked their progress in cultivation level. He was surprised to find that Number five was on the verge to break through into 6th layer of Body refinement stage. "Young master, we need a name for our clan. Please instruct us", Number One said Tian thought for a while. He wanted the name to resemble his dreams. A name that will shake the entire world. He thought back to his previous life''s memories. Tian silently looked towards the roof of the hall, he then turned his glance towards the six brothers and broke his silence, "The Rising Chaos Sect" They looked at each other in confusion, "Is it Rising Chaos Clan Young master?". They didn''t understand what their young master meant with the word Sect. "Whatever! it doesn''t matter!", Tian said as he left the main hall and went ahead to his home to sleep. He was too lazy to change the name. The six brothers looked at one another in confusion. Number three came forward and said, "If young master said ''Rising Chaos Sect'', then it is ''Rising Chaos Sect''. What else is there to talk about". He was firm in his decisions to follow Tian. Whatever he said is a divine command and he would do it without hesitation. Everyone finally heaved a sigh, "The Rising Chaos Sect it is" Chapter 23: The Divine Touch After Tian went back, the six brothers started to discuss about how to run their ''Sect'' from now on. Number two instantly started searching for information on how a sect usually runs and many other details. Even though many old organizational types like clans and federations became famous in this modern era, Sects were something very few people knew about, the academies of modern world replaced the Sects of old times. Tian wanted to teach them about alchemy, so that he wouldn''t have to concoct each potion for them. But he was too lazy to do that. ''When I reach Energy advancement realm, I''ll be able to cultivate the Divine Touch. They''ll have to wait till then'', he thought as he crawled onto his bed. Divine Touch is a spiritual cultivation technique, specially used to transfer knowledge of one person to another. Tian wanted to cultivate and use this technique, to teach the six brothers on how to refine potions, setup formations and create mechanisms. Tian was too lazy to do all those things by himself, So he wanted to postponed the things till he reaches the next cultivation stage, which is Energy advancement realm. Next day Tian met Zhang Tie, he was really surprised to find that he had already broken through to 5th layer of body refinement. The incident with the assassin has really affected Zhang Tie, he wanted to become much stronger to protect his brother. After knowing that Tian has already broken through to blood refinement realm, he was really happy and it also motivated him to cultivate even more and increase his strength. They went to school together, Miss Li was shocked to find that Zhang Tie has already broken through to 5th layer of body refinement. When she came to know that Tian has broken through to the blood refinement 1st layer, she was completely speechless. Even one of them was enough to make her heart to soar to heavens, but there are two cultivation monsters in her class. She immediately took both of them, ignoring the rest of the class and went directly to the head master''s office. Headmaster Buck Wing was so happy, that he ignored their presence and started to laugh joyously. After a while, he straightened his posture, "I was really surprised to find that both of your advancements are leagues above others. Tian, I thought that you could overtake your class in the ranking battle and gain eligibility to participate in the higher class ranking battle, but looks like you already have the qualification to directly participate in higher class ranking battles" "The ranking battle will begin in another two weeks, prepare yourself well. The higher the rank you get in the ranking battle, the better will be your rewards. Zhang Tie, I hope you''ll top the middle class ranking battles and will participate in the higher class battles. As for you Tian, you''ll be directly promoted to higher class. You can start attending the classes after the ranking battles are over" "Thank you! Head master", both of them bowed to the head master. After that, Head Master buck gave a Violet potion to Tian and a Green potion to Zhang Tie, it was their rewards for exceeding his expectations. Both of them happily left the hall. Both of them went back home. Zhang Tie and Tian consumed their portions inside Tians room, Tian was able to increase his internal energy using the potion, his spiritual energy was full and was on the verge to break through into 2nd layer of blood refinement. Zhang Tie immediately broke through to 6th layer of body refinementIf you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The people of this world concentrate on their blood energy to carry the spiritual qi. But in the immortal world, everyone used their meridians to channel the spiritual energy. There were 108 meridians inside a human body, each meridian brings forth a powerful increase in the spiritual energy. Tian wanted to experiment if he could use his meridians to carry his spiritual energy. He concentrated his mind onto his body. He channeled all his spiritual energy into his meridians. But the spiritual energy was not able to enter into his meridians, as they were blocked. He kept on barging his spiritual energy onto the meridian. The spiritual energy was hitting the meridian like waves. Tian was sweating all over his body, he tried to control his spiritual energy to the finest level. The hammering went on for hours. Suddenly, his meridian broke like a dam gate and all the spiritual energy gushed forth into his body. He drank a spirit recovery potion and recovered his spiritual energy. He filled the meridian that has been opened with all the spiritual energy. It was like a gulf, endlessly taking in the spiritual energy. By the time his meridian was completely unlocked, Tian has already broken through to the third layer of blood refinement. Zhang Tie was left agape, his eyes shined even more brightly and he started his cultivation again. While Tian was cultivating and guiding Zhang Tie in his cultivation, Number two was going through all the old records and finding out more about sects. A sect is a organization where people gather to pursue cultivation and advance to become more powerful. It was just like a academy, the cultivators will get resources and techniques from sect to become more stronger. But they will also have to contribute to the sect by performing missions and gaining contribution. Number two locked himself inside a isolated room and kept on planning about the sect. After he emerged from the room a few days later, the mansion became more active and everyone had some task to do. He had thoroughly strategized on how everything should work. He kept on giving out orders to everyone. The power structure of the organization presently was, Tian at the top who controls everyone and everything inside the sect. Then the six brothers acting as elders. The sect is divided into outer region, inner region and core region. Presently all the guards were now converted into their outer sect disciples. Number One acted as the temporary leader of the sect. The complete authority of the sect was in his hands Number Two was the strategist and he was tasked with planning the development of the sect. Number Three took a group of inner sect disciples and formed a disciplinary team, they would be responsible for maintaining order inside the sect. Number Four was tasked with monitoring and protecting the sect form outside forces. Number Five didn''t wanted to cultivate in isolation, but knowing that he had to take on some role, he chose to become the instructor for the outer sect disciples. Number Six was tasked with maintaining the resources of the sect. He took a part of the sect and converted it into land to grow rare and spiritual herbs. Although it was a long process to grow spiritual herbs, he knew it was not impossible. With all of them working together, it didn''t take much time for the other clans nearby to notice this new rising power. The weaker clans started to make connections with them. Soon, their connections spread into the Huang city. The Rising Chaos Sect has made its entry. Chapter 24: Tournament Begins Tian and Zhang Tie trained diligently for the next two weeks. Well, Tian was more like sleep cultivating, which shocked Zhang Tie. Tian wanted to help Zhang Tie to cultivate using his meridians, but he had to wait till Zhang reaches Blood refinement realm, as he would be able to control his spiritual energy in the body cultivation realm. Tian tried to open his second meridian, but was unable to do it no matter how hard he tried. The time for ranking battle was near, so he helped Zhang Tie to break through to 7th layer of body refinement. With this, Zhang Tie would have the power to protect himself Breaking into blood refinement was like crossing over a huge gulf, not everyone was able to breakthrough between stages. They have to cross their bottlenecks in cultivation. "What I''m about to teach you is a battle technique called ''Lightning Foot Steps'', this will improve your speed beyond your cultivation level. This technique can help you even in your future cultivation levels" "When practiced to first stage, your speed will be nearly equal to that of bullet. In the second level you can run faster than sound. The third level allows you to become as fast as lightning. The fourth level...lets talk about it when you master the third level", Tian taught Zhang Tie the Lightning Foot Steps to get him ready for the ranking battle. Zhang Tie was not able to reach first level, but his speed has increased tremendously. He was twice as faster than before. The next day, at the ranking battles of middle class, Zhang Tie overwhelmed every student and was able to secure his ranking as 1st place from the beginning. People were amazed to find the young kid to be able to break through to 6th layer of body refinement. When it all ended, Zhang Tie was able to get his eligibility to participate in the ranking battles of higher class. "Who do you think is going to win this time?" "Obviously it''ll be Han Yan, he had already broken through to 6th layer of blood refinement. No one can defeat him now" "Hmph....you guys don''t know anything. Cheng Lu has already broken through to 7th layer and with all the resources provided by Cheng clan, do you think anyone will be able to defeat him" The crowd began to discuss, predicting the battles that are about to start. The host walked onto the stage and talked about various rules and restrictions in the tournament. He then started to speak about the rewards, "The prizes of of the tournament have kept on becomming better and better each year. All those who are able to get into top 30, will get 150 million and a Purple Spirit Potion. Those in the top 10 will get those and also will get Earth Spirit Potion. The top three rankings will get all those and the also get to stay in spirit pool of Huang city for 8 hours. First place will receive a Rising Sun Pill" As soon as the host explained the rewards, everyone started to discuss intensely. "Alchemy Pills can only be made by those above Alchemy Master Level. I didn''t knew that the academy was able to take out such a rare thing as a reward"Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. "Those in top three will be able to enjoy a good 8 hours inside the spirit pool, guess how much they can improve inside there" There were three battle rings in the tournament. The students will be matched with each other and the winners will be paired again to fight against each other. This goes on till the last match. The hover screen displayed the pairing of the matches. While Tian was getting ready to battle, the six brothers were watching the tournament sitting along the other clans of Huang city. Tian took the stage to fight, it was someone on fourth layer of blood refinement. The opponent looked at Tian, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. He thought that Tian didn''t know much about battles and battle techniques, so he was confident on his victory. "It would be better if you walk off the stage kid. Else you are going to suffer fate worse than hell in my hands", he swung his arms and as soon as the host signaled the start of fight, he jumped towards Tian to take a punch. The next moment he opened his eyes, he was stuck onto the wall below the seating area like a pan cake. He didn''t even know how he got there. Everyone was speechless, there was utter silence. Even the host didn''t understand what happened. "Host, can i get down the stage now?" Tian said, as he yawned. "Ye...yes...Wang Tian has won the match!", the host declared in a fumbling manner. The next few matches, no one was able to match Tian''s power level. Even those in fourth layer of blood cultivation lasted only a few seconds on the ring. The six brothers were happy beyond words. They were completely mesmerized by their young master''s way of fighting. Number Three''s eyes were shining like stars as he watched the matches. Zhang Tie only lasted for 6 rounds, he was able to defeat those under blood refinement realm. But when he was paired with first layer blood refinement realm student, he wasn''t able to last more than a minute on the ring. The audience were surprised to find Zhang Tie''s abilities to fight opponents above his cultivation realm and able to stand his ground against them. If given more time and care, he''ll definitely become very strong cultivator in the future. Many clans were planning to rope him in, after the tournament is completed. The main attraction of the tournament were not Zhang Tie or Tian. It was the fights between the students who came from the clans inside Huang city. Cheng Lu was the main attention grabber among them. He was 17 and had already reached 7th layer of blood refinement, he was only a step away from reaching Energy Advancement realm. For the audience, the rankings were already decided. First place would be Cheng Lu. For the Second, third and fourth places Han Yan, Huang Fan and Xi Xiu who were in 6th layer of blood refinement, would be competing. Tian kept on defeating his opponents left and right. Even 5th layer blood refinement realm opponents only lasted about a 30~40 Seconds. Tian always went back to take a nap after defeating his opponents, which made the defeated people even more enraged. What the others didn''t knew was that Tian was cultivating while sleeping, only Zhang Tie understood that. Zhang Tie''s lips were twitching with Tian''s actions. He didn''t know what he could say. The Host announced the next match, "Wang Tian vs Huang Fan!" Chapter 25: Cheng Lu While Tian and Huang Fan were getting on to the stage, Number Six the Glutton went ahead with a chicken drum stick in his hand, to bet on his Young Master. "Hey Mister, don''t you think that it''s too risky to bet on that kid. Huang Fan has more chances of winning, don''t come over crying when you lose your money" Number Six stopped eating and pointed the drum stick in his hand towards the vendor, "Humph....don''t talk nonsense. Let''s see who is going to cry after the match is over" The vendor thought the guy has gone mad to bet on a losing candidate. Well, it doesn''t matter for him, so his took the money and gave him a token. Huang Fan and Tian both entered the battle ring. Huang Fan was different from other opponents that Tian has faced. Unlike others, who thought he was weak and underestimated him, Huang Fan was cautious with him. Huang Fan dashed forward and started to attack Tian. Tian dodged his attack by sidestepping. Then he started counter attacking. Huang Fan evaded that attack by jumping back a few steps. "Looks like i need to go full power for defeating you", Huang Fan said with a serious face. Tian had a sleepy look on his face, ''I am feeling so sleepy, looks like I''ll have to end it here'' Huang released his entire energy and executed a palm technique, "Violent Rock Palm!", he reached Tian at extremely fast speed. It looked like Tian would not be able to survive this attack. The crowd were looking with full attention. In their minds, the match outcome is already decided. Just when his palm was about to reach Tians chest, Tian took a step back and ducked downwards. Huang was not able to control his body as it moved forward. Tian grappled Huang''s arm and using Huang''s speed against himself, he threw off the stage flying out of the ring. The entire crowd went dumbfounded, they never imagined that Tian would Huang''s momentum against himself and throw him off the stage. Banggg....!!! Huang fell on the ground outside the ring. He stood up and looked towards Tian on the stage, he was still speechless and couldn''t understand how he lost. Victory was within his grasp, one wrong move and he was out of the stage. He gave a deep glare towards Tian and turned back to walk away without saying a word. Tian was completely unaffected by his gaze, he just went down the stage yawning and started sleeping on the bench again, without even caring about the next match. Host was still in a shock, he recovered and looked towards the silent crowd and shouted, "Wang Tian Wins!!!!!". The crowd suddenly went crazy and people started to praise and shout Tians name. The vendor was in a complete shock. Number six walked with his chest up and proudly put forward his hand in front of the vendor. The vendor felt as if he has swallowed a fly, he bitterly took out the money and gave it to Number Six.This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. Number six placed all his bets blindly on his young master. He knew for sure that no one will be able to stop him. He had already earned four million, with all the bets he placed today. His eyes were filled with the images of all the delicious food he can eat with that money. The match between Han Yan and Cheng Lu began. Han Yan was at 6th layer blood refinement while Cheng Lu was already at 7th Layer. The match was not a suspense, but Han Yan didn''t lose his confidence and faced Cheng Lu with all his might. After fighting for two minutes, Han Yan was not able to defend against Cheng Lu''s attacks anymore and so he accepted his defeat. Now, the final was about to begin. It was between Cheng Lu, the son of Huang city''s Cheng Family patriarch and the dark horse of the tournament Wang Tian. Number Six knew that he won''t be able to earn anymore after this match, so he wanted to go all out for this. "I''ll bet 4 million on Wang Tian!!!", Number Six knew that this would be a tough match and the opponent was far stronger than his young master. But after all the time being with him, he knew that his young master will win for sure. It was a unshakable belief. The vendor didn''t knew what to say. He knew that the damned fatty was winning all the time. But this match was something he would lose no matter what, even though the returns for this bet were high, no one was willing to bet on Tian except this fatty. He shook his head heaving a sigh and accepted his bet. All the others were looking at Number Six with pity, four million was not a small amount. Cheng Lu looked at Tian with disdain. "Hurry up and acknowledge your defeat or else I''ll break your bones and throw you out of the ring. Don''t think you are powerful just because you have tricked Huang with your techniques" "Stop blabbering like a monkey. I like watching monkeys making noise but you are one damn ugly one, quickly get out of my sight", Tian mocked. Cheng Lu jumped high into the air and performed a fist technique, launching towards Tian like a missile. Tian wasn''t able to dodge it on time, so he crossed his arms in front of his chest to defend. Tian coughed a bit and looked at Cheng Lu fiercely. He started to take the match seriously. He wanted to ruthlessly punish Cheng Lu for hurting his precious body. Tian didn''t get much time to think as Cheng Lu started to attack him furiously without break. The crowd went crazy, all the audience were excited to watch the final battle. But there a few people in the crowd worrying about Tian, they were the six brothers under tian. Number three gripped his fist tightly and watched the fight. Tian kept blocking Cheng Lu''s attacks and was being pushed back towards the edge of the stage. When he was about to fall off from the edge, his body moved like a agile monkey, as he jumped up above Cheng Lu. He landed his foot on Cheng Lu''s back and jumped inside stage. Cheng Lu was about to fall out of the stage because of his momentum, but he somehow managed himself to stop at the edge. One more step and he might''ve fallen out of the stage "You damned idiot. Trying to fool me with your trickery!", Cheng Lu roared as he turned back. Tian didn''t give Cheng Lu any chance and gathered his entire energy, "Raging Fist!!!" Cheng Lu''s entire body convulsed, Tian''s fist hit him so hard that his body bent in the shape of a boomerang. He instantly collapsed and flew back outside the stage, spewing out blood out of his mouth like a fountain. It was the most shocking incident for anyone present in the tournament. No one expected such an end, the entire place was devoid of any sound. The strongest student in the Academy, lost to a newbie Dark Horse!!! With the cheers from the six brothers, the crowd came to their senses and started to cheer and shout Tians name. Finally the host announced, "Wang Tian wins the Tournament!!!!!!" Chapter 26: Catch the Thief! The Cheng clan members immediately approached the unconscious Cheng Lu and took him away to heal his injuries. They never imagined that there was someone among the students that could defeat Cheng Lu. Tian walked off the stage and joined with Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was very happy for his brother and kept on praising him. His motivation to grow stronger has increased, while he was having a hard time dealing with First Layer Blood refinement cultivators, Tian was already able to defeat Seventh Layer Blood refinement cultivators. He wanted to grow stronger and faster. Number Six was the only person who was the real winner outside the ring. He bet all his money on his young Master and has won 20 million. When he reported the same to his brothers, they were all shocked with their jaws wide open. Never in their wildest imaginations did they imagine that Number Six would be able to earn such a large amount. The Tournament was a roller coaster for many of the audience, the rise of two dark horses was really a surprise for everyone. Body refinement and Blood refinement stages have a very large gulf in between, it was practically impossible for someone at body refinement stage to stand his ground against a blood refinement realm cultivator. But Zhang Tie was able to do so and fight on equal ground, if not exhaustion in his energy, it was sure that he would''ve won the match. There was also Tian, who had not even joined the higher class officially but was able to fight and defeat someone at seventh layer of blood refinement while himself being in fourth layer of blood refinement. Head master Buck Wing has never imagined that Tian would win the tournament, his eyes were shining bright and he had a cunning smile. He was planning something else for Tian Finally, the reward ceremony has begun. Zhang Tie and Tian received their prizes and went off without caring for the ones who were trying to get to know them. After a while, someone in the crowd started to shout, "Oh my god! I am robbed!!!! All my herbs and potions are goneee!!!" "Mine as well! Who was that damned thief! Hurry and search for him" One by one everyone realized that herbs and potions were missing from them, even the people from the major clans of Huang city were not spared. But it was peculiar that none of their money or devices were not even touched. There was an old thief Lian in the crowd, he wanted to watch the tournament and came over, but didn''t realize that even he would be robbed. One of the persons in the crowd recognized thief Lian and shouted, "Hey! I found the thief!!!! Here he is!", he pointed towards Lian and all others started to pound him Everyone started to kick him like a ball, throwing him up in the air and kicking his butt. "Where are my items you damned thief!!", the crowd went crazy, Lian someone managed to escape from the crowded people with bruises all over his face and swollen buttocksYou might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. ''Why am i so unlucky today! I just wanted to watch the tournament and all these people started beating me'', While Tian was crying in anguish, Somewhere outside the tournament area a white monkey opened its mouth and started to eat a 100 year old ginseng. It went on eating the herbs then suddenly someone grabbed it form behind and lifted it up, "Little White, what are you doing here? Didn''t i tell you to stay with granny and what are you eating? Don''t just eat anything off the street. Let''s go home", Tian placed Little White on his shoulders. When it saw Zhang Tie beside Tian. It stuck its tongue out and mocked Zhange Tie. Zhang Tie face palmed, he didn''t understand what to do with this monkey. It always rubbed against Tian, but whenever it sees him it acts violent. For Tian, the money didn''t matter, what he really wanted was to cultivate in the spiritual pool of Huang City. He decided to consume the Rising Sun pill inside the spiritual pool, so that the effects of the pill will be increased. After going home, he took out purple spirit potion and consumed it. Although the effects were not much, he was able to increase the spiritual energy inside his meridians. After consolidating the medical effects of the Purple spirit potion, he took out the Earth spirit potion and consumed it as well. The potency of Earth spirit potion was not comparable to the Purple spirit potion. Tian took some time to absorb all the energy of the potion. With the help of Earth Spirit potion, Tian was able to break into 5th Layer Blood refinement stage. Tian continued to use the residual energy and practiced his Raging Fist. After depleting his entire energy, he was finally able to cultivate it till first level. Now his punch has the power to defeat a 5th layer blood refinement cultivator with just a single punch. Even Cheng Lu might not last more than a minute if they were to fight again. He continued to cultivate and fill his meridian with spiritual energy. Tian took Little white into his arms, he didn''t notice it before but Little white has already reached fourth layer of body refinement. "How and when did you grow so strong Little white. Just what were you doing?", Little white bent its head in a cute way and tried to act cute with sparkling eyes. Tian finally let go of it and went back into his bed and started sleep cultivation. After Tian modified the breathing technique to sleeping technique, he found that he was able to get more comfortable sleep, like he was sleeping on clouds. Zhang Tie on the other hand, has already broken through to the First layer of blood refinement. He was able to feel the immense power and understood the real difference between body refinement and blood refinement realms. Inside a luxurious room in the Cheng Clan, "I don''t give a damn. No matter what, I want him dead!", Cheng Lu roared at a black robed person before him. "Young Master Lu, please give us some time. The tournament has just ended and we can''t take such steps right now. We will find the right time to make our move", he said in a clam tone. Cheng Lu snorted and went back into his chambers, he felt humiliated when he was defeated in front of all those people. He wanted to make sure Tian wouldn''t live to calm down his anger. Cheng Lu would''ve never imagined, that this one decision of his would bring down his clan that has lasted for hundreds of years inside the Huang City, standing at the apex of the power houses. Chapter 27: Huang City Next day, Tian left for Huang city and Zhang Tie tagged along with him. Tian didn''t bring Little White along with him, he wasn''t sure what sort of ruckus it would cause after he enters the Spiritual Pool. It never listens to Zhang Tie, so it was better to let it stay at home. There was still time to visit the City Lord manor for entering the spirit pool, so they wanted to look around the market first. There were all sorts of things in the market. They even saw some beast cubs being sold. "What are you going to do till I come out?", Tian asked as he was savoring the roasted duck pieces in his hand. Tian was enjoying the food so much, that he didn''t even care about the duck oil on his mouth. "I heard there is a battle arena in Huang city, but never got the chance to visit. Guess I''ll go over there and do some shopping for my sister", Zhang Tie said as he walked with a body builder pose, crossing his arms and showing his muscles. Some of the people on the street recognized Tian and Zhang Tie, some young ladies immediately crowded them, what was shocking was that Tian was completely pushed aside from the crowd. All the girls were crazy about Zhang Tie. Compared to the oily faced Tian, the strong looking and decent Zhang Tie attracted the young ladies more. Zhang Tie was getting squeezed between them, unable to get out of the crowd he kept struggling. "Brother!!! help me!!!....oy where are you going!.....don''t leave me...!!", Zhang Tie cried out loud as the crowd kept pushing him away from Tian. Pitiful Zhang, he got to face the reality of the world, while getting crushed under some beautiful young ladies. ''It''s a sin, to not praise a beauty when you see one. Guess brother Zhang was one of those beauties'', Tian shrugged as he kept walking away from Zhang Tie, eating his roasted duck. Tian looked around some more and finally went towards the city lord manor. When the guard saw a boy getting close to the manor gates, he immediately went ahead and blocked his path, "Kid, go somewhere else to play. Don''t you know that this is the City Lord manor" Tian simply shook his head and put his hand into his pocket, he was sure that the guard will start showing some respect only when he shows the token. His hands went deep into his pockets, left, right, back pocket, "What the-!!.....Where is my TOKEN!!!!" Tian was really shocked to find that the token for entering the Spirit Pool was missing from his pocket. Where could it go. Suddenly, he remembered about the crowd. There was a guy among the ladies in the crowd. ''Damn! Never in my 240 years of life did i get robbed. Just you wait, when I get my hands on you, you''ll experience what hell on earth is'' Tian immediately turned around and started running towards the market. When the guard saw him running, he scratched his head. ''Did i scare the kid too much?'', the guard thought as he looked towards the fleeing Tian. If tian knew what the guard was thinking, he might vomit blood in anger. Tian kept running around the market with extreme fast speed, he looked every nook and cranny but wasn''t able to find the thief. Then, he saw a clock tower at the center of the market square.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Like an agile monkey, he jumped onto the roof top and jumped from one building to another and then finally jumped on top the clock tower. Like a hawk looking for its prey, Tian kept looking all over the city. Suddenly, he turned his head back in one direction and gazed far into a dark valley. ''There he is!'', Tian instantly jumped off from the tower and started running towards the alley. Thumpp!!!, Tian jumped from the top of the building onto a steel barrel. The thief got startled, when he realized that a guy suddenly fell from sky, all that on his mind was to run. He started running and tried to climb the fence in extreme fast speed. Smack!!!, A trash can lid hit his buttocks and he fell down, as he failed to jump over the fence. He wanted to cry, ''Why do all these people want to target my butt, damn these perverts'' It was Thief Lian from the tournament, after getting thrashed at the tournament, he wanted to lay low for a few days. He wanted to catch the guy who actually robbed all of them and beat him to pulp. He finally got to rob someone successfully today, but then even this guy thrashed his butt. Tian walked towards the thief, he then grabbed his collar and started shaking him so hard that his eyes rolled and started seeing stars in day light, "Where are my things!, Where the hell did you hide them! Take them out! Now!" Tian finally realized he was shaking too hard and stopped, "Barf....What the hell is wrong with you....bmph...Are you trying to kill me!" Thief Lian took out a large pouch from his coat and threw it towards Tian, "There wasn''t even anything valuable inside it. What a waste. Ouch...See what you''ve done to my precious bums", he started to rub his butt and cried. Tian looked into the bag and found nothing missing, he gave Thief Lian one final glare and left off, "Hmph....you deserved it" Tian went back to the City Lord Manor, this time the guard was real angry. "Kid! Don''t you understand when I say not to come over here? If you don''t flee from here you''ll taste this daddy''s slap. Quick get out of here", He Shouted as his chest moved because his heavy breath. "Shut Up!", Tian was already in a bad mood after losing his bag, he took out his token and showed it to the guard. The guard immediately understood and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry sir, I didn''t knew you were here for the Spirit pool. Let me guide to the location", he started acting humble in front of him. He kept guiding him inside the city lord manor. When they reached a particular hall, the guard stopped walking and looked towards Tian, "I''ll only be able to guide you till here sir. If you go inside that Chamber, you''ll be able to find a person inside, he''ll take you into the Spirit Pool" Tian went inside and saw an old man with a long beard standing guard near a Massive door inside the Chamber. Tian was not able to guess the cultivation level of the old man, but he knew that the old man didn''t even need to make a move, if he wants to deal with him. He went forward and gave a bow to the old man, "Greetings elder! I am here for entering the Spirit Pool", Tian took out his token and passed it to the old man. The old man was surprised by Tian, he was standing guard for many decades but he didn''t see a single person that came for the spirit pool showing respect to him. Only those who knew his strength respected him and the people who knew it were limited to only a handful even inside the Huang City. He took the token from Tian and said in a calm tone, "You may cultivate inside the Spirit Pool for 8 hours", the massive doors began to open Chapter 28: Effects of Spiritual Pool The moment Tian entered, he felt a strong gush of Spiritual energy entering his meridian. The sheer quality and quantity of the Spiritual qi in the air was hundreds of times more than outside. Tian was surprised with the beautiful environment inside. The Spiritual pool was actually formed inside a cave and the City Lord Manor was built on top of that. The light from the Spiritual pool illuminated the entire surroundings with pale blue light. Tian sensed many layers of array formations all around the Spiritual pool, they were placed to protect the Spiritual pool from outsiders and also keep the Spiritual energy trapped inside the room. He was amazed with the level of protection the city lord manor has placed over here. Tian looked around and has seen that there was no one except him inside the Spiritual pool, seems like the other two winners have already used their time inside the Spiritual pool, and looks like he''ll be all alone for a while. He looked at the array formations with a grin on his face. After moving around the Spiritual pool, Tian started to modify the array formations and started to change their positions, adding more inscriptions to them. After a while, the Spiritual pool started to glow even brightly. All the Spiritual energy inside the room was sucked dry by the formation and was getting redirected to a single point, where Tian was sitting. He furiously started to absorb the Spiritual power and using all the Spiritual energy, he started to attack his second meridians blockage. The energy kept on pumping, but the meridian showed no sign of opening. Tian took out the Rising Sun Pill and consumed it. His body started heating up, steams of sweat were coming from his body. The energy from the pill provided him more yang energy, he started to break into the second meridian again and again. The Spiritual energy was gushing in tides onto the meridian. After sometime, the meridian showed signs of opening. The moment his second meridian opened, all the Spiritual energy inside the pool was almost sucked dry. If the old man guarding the Spiritual pool saw this, he''ll be utterly flabbergasted. The Spiritual energy inside the Spiritual pool was not something even a 10 Energy Advancement stage cultivators can absorb, yet it was all absorbed by Tian''s meridians alone. The second meridian provided Tian with lots of place for absorbing the Spiritual energy. With all the energy, he instantly broke through into 6th layer body refinement, 7th layer body refinement and it didn''t stop there, he directly broke through into the Energy Advancement realm. Unlike the Body refinement and Blood refinement realms, the Energy Advancement realm is divided into three cultivation stages. They are primary stage, Intermediate stage and advanced stage. With the energy from the Spiritual pool and the boost from the Rising Sun Pill, Tian was able to directly step into Energy Advancement realm. He slowly breathed and tried to assimilate the yang essence form the Rising Sun Pill into his meridians. The yang essence was just enough for Tian to cultivate The Divine Touch. He was completely engrossed in the cultivation.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. After a few hours Tian opened his eyes and released a slow breath. Finally, he had successfully cultivated the Divine Touch. He had been waiting so long for this. Now he''ll be able to teach Zhang Tie about cultivating his meridians and also transfer his medical skills to the six brothers. With that, he''ll be able to relax even more, while they make the potions and pills for him. "Haaahahahahaa....", Tian laughed crazily, imagining how he can simply rest and make the brothers do all the hard work. ''Finally, i can truly relax and enjoy my life'' There were still four hours left before he can exit. He didn''t know what else he can do, so he simply laid down and started to cultivate his sleeping technique. Hours passed by and he was sleeping happily. When the 8 hours were up, the old man opened the massive doors to make Tian leave the Spiritual pool. But when he looked inside, he was completely dumbfounded. Never in his life did he imagine for someone to be sleeping inside the Spiritual pool. His lips started to twitch, ''This damned Kid! How can he have the luxury to sleep inside the Spiritual pool? Each minute cultivating here is so precious that it can''t even be compared to taking those alchemy pills.'' When Tian felt someone''s presence he opened his eyes and started rubbing them in sleep, "Hey, Good morning grandpa", the word grandpa slipped out of his mouth. The old man gritted his teeth and glared at him, he was about to say something but then he suddenly realized that Tian has broken through to Energy Advancement realm. "Ho-.. How did you break through into Energy Advancement realm?!!!", the old man mumbled as he pointed his finger towards Tian. TIan just shrugged and said, "I don''t know, maybe it''s my luck or may be its the effects of the Energy from the Spiritual pool", Tian started walking towards the exit as he said that. "Don''t talk nonsense, I have seen many people enter the Spiritual pool in my life, but I''ve never seen someone make such a huge progress", the old man stood there and yelled at Tian. "Guess you could call me a genius then", Tian laughed as he left the room. The old man face palmed and sighed, even the old man had to agree on that. He sealed the Spiritual pool again and stood guard, thinking about his granddaughter. Then he suddenly gave off a perverted and scheming gaze as he looked towards the exit. Tian lazily yawned as he walked towards the exit. He came out of the Manor and started stretching his body. The guard at the gate greeted him properly this time as he smiled towards Tian. Zhang Tie was waiting outside the manor since two hours, finally when he saw Tian, he rushed towards him. But when he reached him, he was able to feel very powerful energy from Tian, he understood that Tian has broken through again and he was happy about it. Later he started explaining to Tian how he was able to improve his Lightning foot technique by combating with others in the battle arena. This caught Tian''s mind, real fights were more helpful for anyone to gain understanding of battle techniques. Then he thought back to his Raging fist technique, he was thinking of going back to the Huang forest. This time, he wanted to go to the center region. When they started leaving from the City Lord Manor, Tian sensed that some people were following them. After breaking through into Energy Advancement, all his senses were improved and he was able to perceive things many times better than an average human. He sense the power levels of the one''s who were following him, using his Divine arts from his previous life. There were one Primary Energy Advancement stage cultivator and two 7th layer blood refinement cultivators following them. Chapter 29: Spirit Bomb Tian sent Zhang Tie off first, saying that he had some things to do in Huang city and he''ll catch up to after some time. Zhang Tie felt that something was off but didn''t knew what, he accepted Tians words and went off in a hover bus. After sending Zhang Tie home, he started to walk out of the Huang city by foot. After he exited the city, he directly went towards the forest area, the hidden cultivators also followed him stealthily jumping from one tree to another, without giving away their presence. Tian suddenly halted and abruptly threw a stone towards one of the hidden experts with his full energy. The stone directly him one of the 7th layer blood refinement stage expert and he fell off from the tree with a injury on his chest, he instantly went unconscious. The other two experts were alarmed by this and came out from their hiding and started attacking Tian. Tian skillfully dodged their attacks and grabbed the other 7th layer Blood refinement expert by his throat and struck him down on the ground. The black robed Primary Energy Advancement stage expert was shocked by this, he realized that Tian was not any weaker than him. So he instantly started to retreat. The moment he turned back, Tian dashed towards and started attacking with his fists. The black robed expert got heavily injured with TIan''s fist attacks, he never thought that he would be forced into a corner like this. ''Damn it! The information said that he was just a 5th Layer Blood refinement expert, how the hell did he turn into a Primary Energy Refinement Stage cultivator and that too so powerful.'' He took out an item from his robe and threw it at Tian. Tian was a bit careless and stood near the black robed expert, he wasn''t able to react quickly when the guy threw some item at him. He quickly tried to dodge but the item already him the ground near him and it exploded with very bright light. Boooommmmm!!!!!!! The item was actually a low grade spirit bomb. It had spirit particles infused in it and were made in such a way that, whenever it was used the spirit particles will become highly unstable and start generating enormous energy which leads to a explosion. It was hard even for those in Energy Advancement realm to survive this attack. A huge crater was formed at the place where the bomb exploded. The blacked robed guy was not able to survive the blast, what remained of him was just the charred black corpse. The 7th Layer Blood refinement expert, who was still conscious, looked at the scene with a bitter expression. He never imagined that a Primary Energy Advancement expert had to use such means, just to eliminate a single kid. He looked at his other subordinate who was unconscious, he wanted to leave from here after waking his subordinate along with the charred corpse. What he didn''t realize was, a few meters from the crater, there was a body lying on the floor. It was Tian!Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. When Tian realized he was in danger, he utilized all his spiritual energy in his meridians and formed a layer of Qi on his entire body. When the bomb exploded, the force from it hit so hard that he flew away and directly hit a tree. Thankfully, the layer of qi surrounding his body protected him from most of the injuries. Although Tian escaped from the blast, he was still a bit injured and his spiritual energy also got depleted. He took out a spirit recovery potion and drank it. When the Blood Refinement stage expert was about to wake up his unconscious subordinate, Tian instantly dashed towards him and kicked the Blood Refinement expert on his shoulders. His shoulder bone gave a cracking sound, as he fell on the ground, coughing up blood. He clutched onto his crushed shoulder and glared at Tian. "Why were you three following me? You better tell me who sent you and what your motives are, else I''ll make you beg for death!", Tian said fiercely. He nearly lost his life today, he wouldn''t be satisfied until he gets some answers. Before Tian could say or do anything, the Blood refinement expert bit onto something and blood started to flow from all his crevices, "cough cough....You wouldn''t be able to find out anything from us. Cough cough...You will die sooner or later hahahaaa.....cough", he kept on coughing blood and died as he collapsed on to the ground with his eyes open. Tian was aghast, he never imagined him to have poison capsules in his mouth. The Energy refinement experts suicide blasting and this Blood refinement experts poison suicide, these were completely out of his mind. Just how much will power is needed for someone to be willing to die instead of saying out the truth? Tian looked at the unconscious expert, he quickly went to him and removed all the weapons from his body, and he also checked his mouth and found a poison capsule in between his teeth. He removed it and also tied him to a tree, so that he wouldn''t be able to do any crazy stunts like the other two guys. Tian woke him up, when the Blood refinement expert woke up he instantly realized that he was tied down. He tried to struggle free but was unable to, his cultivation was already wasted by Tian. He only has the strength of an average human now. He noticed Tian and immediately tried to bite onto the capsule, but to his shock it was not there. "Now, Listen to me. You won''t be able to leave from here, until you tell me who you are and why you are after me. The choice is in your hands", Tian said calmly, He has realized that these people were dare to die fighters, so its no use threatening to kill them. "No matter what you do or how you torture me, I won''t tell you a damn thing! Kill me if you want to!!", the expert was looking ferociously towards Tian, it was as if he wanted to strangle him to death. Tian didn''t knew what he can do with this guy. He was not really with torturing people or extracting information from them. He thought back of the six brothers, maybe they could get some info from this guy. Tian decided on it firmly, so he knocked the expert unconscious. Before leaving, he took care of the bodies of both the experts and left for the Rising Chaos sect with the unconscious expert on his shoulders. When Tian reached the sect, he was again surprised by the sheer amount of changes that has occurred to this place. He didn''t have much time, so he quickly went into the main hall. The six brothers greeted him, they were a little surprised to find their young master carrying a person on his shoulders. They also noticed that TIan had bruises on many places and his clothes were torn. "Young master, What happened to you!" Chapter 30: Second Life Upgrades "How come you are injured? Number Six, quick take out healing potions", Number One exclaimed in a worried tone. Number six hurried to the storage room and brought some healing potions and passed them to TIan. All six brothers were worried about Tian, as they have never seen him injured. Tian took a seat and calmly drank the healing potions, his wounds began to heal at visible speed. He released a breath and spoke calmly, "Some people followed me in stealth and I received these injuries during my confrontation with them. The other two guys committed suicide, he is the only survivor. I want to know who he is, why they were tailing me and who was behind this" "I''ll be waiting for your news, grandma will be nervous if don''t reach home on time so I''ll leave for now. Contact me when you get any information from him", Tian tasked the six brothers with recovering information from the expert and left off to his home. After Tian left, the six brothers looked at the unconscious man with vicious gazes, he sure is going to have one hell of a time after he wakes up. When Tian reached home he directly went into his room, disposed of his torn clothes and changed into new ones. Today TIan realized that he was really week to protect himself. If he didn''t react on time when the bomb blasted or if he didn''t have any recovery potions, then it might''ve been his last day alive. Tian collapsed onto his bed and took out his mobile, he wanted to check how many funds he had. He wanted to make sure that such situations does not occur once again. Just when he was about to check his account balance, he saw a notification, ''Massive Change in Second Life! Only those above Energy Refinement realm can Enter Second Life!'' Tian was shocked with the news, he knew that there was something amiss with Second Life. He clicked on the notification and watched the news video. "Just after 10 AM today, people all around the world were not able to logon to Second Life. There has been rumors that only those on Earth realm were able to enter Second Life, we now have Zhou Fan from Zhou Clan who was able to log onto Second Life. Let''s hear what he has to say", the hostess Lia Lu said as she looked towards a fat young man. Zhou Fan was round like a ball, he corrected his throat in a dignified manner and started speaking, "Well, it''s true that only those who are at Earth realm or above are able to enter Second Life. When i entered Second Life today, the beautiful fairy NPC that i have seen during my account creation has appeared again", Zhou Fan had a huge grin on his face, even his ears went red. "She talked with her godly voice, saying that Second Life has gone through a major upgrade and from now on i cannot change my appearance inside second life, which is actually a bummer if you ask me. Second life was the only place where i could enjoy my life. Now how the hell would i attract all those beautiful young girls, when they can see how i look like. I really want all those bouncy-", Zhou went on with his fantasies as the hostess Lia Lu''s face went red. "Mr. Zhou Fan! Let''s stick to the topic, so you were saying that you cannot change your appearance inside second life now. Is that the only change that has occurred other than the cultivation level requirement?", Lia Lu said as she calmed herself down.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Well, that''s not the only change. She also said that by using our spiritual energy, we can also transfer real world items into Second Life. Although she didn''t specify how we can do that and I also don''t think those are the only changes that happened in Second Life. There''s a lot more we don''t know", Zhou Fan said in a serious and contemplating tone. "As you can see, Second Life has really undergone some serious changes, but we don''t yet know any official details about it. Various organizations are asking the world federation to give answers for this. As the capsules used inside the Virtual reality helmets are made by the World Federation and without those no one can enter Second Life. We will keep you updated with the latest news" Tian was really shocked with all the news, he was contemplating on what is actually happening. Second Life has actually made his life simpler and let him keep his privacy. It was basically a world where he could do anything he wants. He took the VR helmet and tried to see what was inside. He never imagined to find inscriptions inside the VR helmet. The helmet itself was like a machine made artifact. When he looked into the capsule that Lia Lu was talking about, he was really surprised with it. The capsule looked like a small pill with tiny inscriptions on it. When he opened the capsule, he found spirit powder inside it. This thing was powering up the entire array of inscriptions. Tian tried to use the VR gear to connect with Second Life, but the moment he tried to connect, he realized that the inscriptions did not power up. His energy as a Primary Energy Advancement expert was not enough to power up such a small array formation, this was utterly shocking for Tian. This was like a challenge for Tian, which he gladly accepted. His eyes were full of curiosity and wanted to see how the array works. He was like a mad scientist with a problem that attracted his curiosity. He took a scalpel and injected spiritual energy into it, he started decoding the inscriptions, changing them and adding his own inscriptions where needed. He was working with full concentration. After having his rebirth, this was the first time that Tian didn''t feel lazy. He truly wanted to explore, learn and create things. Little white sat there on the window looking at the deeply engrossed Tian, it opened its mouth and a wormhole formed inside his mouth, out of which a red ginseng flew out. Little white caught the ginseng and started eating it happily. Tian who was just a few steps away, didn''t notice this anomaly. Right now, all that existed for him were the inscriptions. After 3 hours, Tian stood up with a smile on his face. His entire body and face were sweating from the spiritual energy exhaustion. The thing in front of him was the new and modified VR helmet. Tian took a spirit recovery potion and his face recovered some color. The Capsule and inside of the helmet were completely filled with inscriptions. They looked like little worms swimming all around their surface. Tian put back the cover of the VR helmet and patched everything up. It was time for him to test his modifications of the inscriptions. He equipped the VR helmet and turned it on. The moment he turned it on, it started to absorb spiritual energy from his body. Tian endured the absorption and continued to wait. Because Tian cultivated and opened his two meridians, the amount of spiritual energy he can hold was beyond his cultivation realm. After waiting for a few moments, TIan''s vision began to fill with bright light and it went completely white. When he recovered his vision, he was greeted a spectacular view. Chapter 31: Lucy the guide The view around Tian made him astounded. It was a Forest with a waterfall in the center, there were a few deer and birds around the waterfall. It all looked so real that he felt suspicious whether he was in a Virtual world or real world. A white angelic fairy came flying from the air towards him, "Hmmm.....Unique....Never thought that someone could overcome the Restrictions placed to enter Second Life", she started looking at Tian from every corner, flying around him as if he were an antique piece from a museum. Tian glared at her and took a step back, "Oh my! How rude of me, my mind wandered off for a moment. Let me introduce myself, I am Lucy, the care taker and overseer of Second Life. You might''ve already known that Second Life has already been upgraded. So, let me explain some changes that have come to Second Life" Tian didn''t speak, but he calmed down a little and listened to Lucy, ''Is she an artifact Spirit? Or is she a human? At least she looks like she has intelligence'' "After the upgrade only those on Earth Realm and above are allowed to enter Second Life, you are a unique case. Other than that, you could use your energy to transfer real world items to Second Life, you can only use the teleportation points for teleporting from one place to another. Also, anyone can kill anyone in here now. Once you die inside here, all your spirit energy will be depleted in the real world and also, you cannot login to Second Life for 2 days after you death....", Lucy filled in the details of the changes made to Second Life, but Zhou Fan didn''t tell any of those in the news. Was he hiding it? Or did the information he received is different from mine? "If we can take real world items into Second Life, doesn''t that mean we can also take what''s inside Second Life into the real world?", Tian really wanted to know if it was possible to transfer things between the two worlds. If it was possible, then the true value of Second Life is something beyond measure. Lucy was surprised by the question, she calmly gazed towards Tian then revealed a smile, "If is was someone else, I might not have answered that question. But you really are interesting, being in Energy Advancement realm yet able to bypass all the restrictions of Second Life", She flew near Tian and held his face in her hands. Tian never experienced something like this, he blushed as he retreated a few steps back. Lucy chuckled seeing Tian shy, "My, my! You really are something. Okay, I''ll satisfy your curiosity. With the help of some special tools, you would be able to exchange items from this world into the real world" Tian was contemplating what Lucy said, he was about to ask some more questions but just then Lucy flew saying, "Now let''s end this conversation here. It''s time for you to go. My senses say that we''ll be meeting each other soon in the future. Till then, Good bye....", Once again white light covered Tian''s eyes and he was instantly teleported out of the place. When Tian opened his eyes, he was in the same city he visited before. Except that the streets were almost empty. What was once a bustling place, was now filled with few people? He also noticed that his strength was actually same as the in the real world, which is Primary Energy Refinement stage. He didn''t actually feel that this was a virtual world, instead it felt more like an entirely new world.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. He looked around and decided to go to Pan Long organizations Store, after his experience with the spirit bomb, he wanted to make sure that he had enough power to protect himself against such attacks in the future. The best option for him was to create Spiritual equipment and formations, so he headed to Pan Long store. He clicked on the location in map, but he wasn''t teleported over to the location like he usually would be. It showed that he won''t be able to teleport anymore. Although there was a restriction placed and only Earth Realm experts can enter here, there were still a large amount of people here. But the thing to notice was that no one was below the age of 20 years among those people, which made Tian stand out. He kept on dashing towards the store. While he was travelling, he heard some people discussing on the streets about a forest in the outskirts of the city. They said that monsters started showing up and started killing all those who entered the forest. Tian didn''t dare to imagine how powerful those monsters must be, as everyone was able to utilize their full powers inside Second Life. The world is starting to give me more surprises at every turn. He reached Pan Long store and entered inside, unlike before, there were no NPCs or Bots to serve him this time. So he directly went to the counter, "I want to buy some rare metals and spiritual items" The Shop assistant looked at him non-chalantly and said, "You could list out what you need or if you want to you could just explore the things in here" Tian didn''t bother about him and started to list out what he needed, "I need 40KG of Red frost iron, one pound black tiger steel, Spirit infused iron wood 5 KG...", He went on saying whatever he needed for making defensive artifacts and weapons. The more Tian spoke, the more the Shop assistants face contorted, he wasn''t even able to speak properly, "Esteemed guest, sorry for my rude behavior earlier. There were many pesky fellows coming over and disturbing our business, so I had to behave like that. I need some time to confirm if we have the amount of materials you need of those items in our inventory. Just give me some time" After a while the shop assistant came, "Sir, we have all the things you need except Spirit infused iron wood. We could deliver 2 KG along with all other material for now and will deliver the rest of the 3KG after five days, if it is okay with you". Tian nodded for it, as 2 KG of spirit infused iron wood would be enough for him temporarily. The Shop keeper was elated and smiled as he continued, "Sir, the total amount for all the items is equal to 973,500,000 yuan. As you are doing a large scale transaction, we would like to provide you a discount and the total would be 950 Million yuan" Tian sent the amount from his account to the shop keeper, after which the transaction was completed. They also provided a VIP membership for Tian, the next time he comes for shopping with them, he would receive discount on whatever he buys. Tian went outside and when he was travelling to see what the forest was all about, he was confronted by three experts. "Hahahaha...look what we found, this lad has some fresh meat on him...hahahaha", the three guys started to laugh. Tian was sensing danger, these guys were very powerful than him, if he got caught in their hands it would be his end in here. Chapter 32: Little White Vs Number Six Tian knew that he was not a match for these experts, he couldn''t deal even with a single one of them right now. He decisively chose to log off. Second life was not safe for him, for the time being. So he decided that he''ll only enter Second life when his power level is above Earth realm. Tian had some dinner with his grandma and left for the Rising Chaos sect. While he was leaving, Little white tucked itself in Tian''s clothes. Tian didn''t spend much time with Little white these days, so he let him tag along. This time when Tian reached the sect, he observed all the changes around the sect. There were many residential areas built on the western part of the sect, on the eastern part were many fields of precious and rare herbs and training grounds on the northern part. After reaching the main hall, Tian asked about the guy he brought in yesterday. "We were able to uncover the truth from him young master. He is Cheng Dan, a death warrior of the Cheng Clan. The head butler of the Cheng Clan has given them orders to assassinate you, but they don''t know the reason for the orders", Number one said with a serious face. The Cheng Clan was one of the top power houses in the Huang city, the present Rising Chaos sect was no match for it, he gritted his teeth for being so powerless. Tian didn''t understand how the six brothers were able to recover this information from a death warrior. He knew how resolute they were, so it was hard for him to understand how these guys recovered such details so quickly, "These guys were willing to die for the Cheng Clan, how were you able to get the information from him", Tian questioned in a puzzled manner. "Young master, we used truth serum to uncover the secrets form him. These are sold in the underground markets for 1 million each. Cheng Dan was very hard to deal with, he only started speaking the truth after injecting 3 serums" Number two said as he gave Tian one truth serum. Number two had many connections inside and outside Huang city. Using his network, he was able to gather 5 truth serums. Truth serums were actually banned by the World Federation, but many underworld organizations still sell them. Tian didn''t understand why the Cheng clan was after him, then he thought back to the tournament. Cheng Lu was the 3rd son of Cheng Clan''s patriarch, he was very prideful, he was suspicious that Cheng Lu might be the one who sent these assassins after him. Tian clenched his fists just thinking about the spirit bomb. The six brothers also knew what was going on, but they were helpless. They cultivated diligently and have reached blood cultivation realm, using the resources from the sect. The outer sect disciples have all broken through into body refinement realm, there were a few who had very huge progress after cultivating the breathing technique that Tian modified. Now that Tian has reached Energy Advancement stage, he was able to use his Divine Touch skill. He was thinking of passing his basic alchemy, formations and mechanism''s knowledge to the six brothers. "I want to pass on my knowledge of alchemy, mechanisms and formations to you guys. I want you to choose the path you want to walk down on, so make your decisions", Tian didn''t know the interests of the six brothers, so he let them choose the path they want to walk on. Number One was tasked with managing the Sect, although the knowledge from his young master was valuable, he didn''t want to divide his attention at this stage. Rising Chaos sect was still in the growth stage, so he didn''t answer anything.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Number Two was currently focusing on creating a giant network of informants and also creating a secret underground organization for raising the Sect''s powers, and Number five only focused on cultivation and nothing else. After discussing for some time, Number three, Number four and Number Six came forward. Number Three wanted to be and Inscriptions Master, Number Four wanted to learn about mechanisms and Number six was into Alchemy, he was already growing medical herbs in the sect land. Tian nodded, acknowledging their wishes and used his Divine touch to pass the beginner knowledge on Alchemy, Mechanisms and Inscriptions to them. Each time he used Divine touch, his entire spiritual energy was getting depleted, he continued after drinking spirit recovery potions. The process was taking a toll on both Tian and the three brothers. After receiving the knowledge from Tian, they were not able to handle the huge amount of foreign information in their minds and were having splitting headaches. It took them a while to assimilate the knowledge as their own. Even if they received the knowledge from Tian, they knew they wouldn''t become professionals overnight. The knowledge was like a legacy, that was passed from Tian to them, they won''t be able to make this knowledge their own, unless and until they start experiencing it themselves. The knowledge was like a cheat for becoming professionals and nothing more. After confirming that they were not facing any side effects from Divine Touch, he walked into the chamber where the furnace was placed. He took out all the materials he bought from Pan Long Association. He was deeply engrossed in it, while Little white stood there looking at Tian who was working hard to create something. It was curious, so it kept staring at him. But after a few moments, it got bored of it, he took some items from the materials and tried to eat them. But they were sturdy material that he wasn''t able to bite into. So he threw them back and went off through the window, in search of food. Tian continued creating items one after another. He controlled the fire using his spiritual energy and raised its temperature high enough to process the materials. The process went on for hours. While Tian was deeply engrossed in creating items, Little white went on a rampage, stealing the herbs from the fields and started swallowing them whole. When Number Six saw that many plants and herbs were missing, he felt something was amiss. He ran with his fat body all around the fields, "Who the hell dared to steal from my fields! Guards, everyone, search all over the fields, I want the Thief to be caught right now!", the fat on his belly was bouncing like a water filled balloon as he dashed around the fields. Number Six suddenly saw a white streak passing by a herb, the herb disappeared instantly along with the white streak. Number Six finally saw the thief, "You bloody monkey, stop stealing my herbs. If i get my hands on you, I''ll fry in oil and eat you whole!", he panted as he kept chasing Little white. When Number six stopped for getting some air, Little white also stopped and looked towards Number six. He started pointing its finger towards him and laughed loud holding his other hand on its stomach. It started mocking Number Six and showed him its butt. "You damn little monkey!", Number six finally erupted and used his full power to dash onto little monkey, Little white didn''t react fast and got its tail caught in Number six''s hands. Both of them started fighting each other, Little white bit his arms, "aaaahhhh..! you damn monkey", Number six also took little whites tail and started biting it. The fight kept going on. Number Six''s eyes were looking like a panda''s. Little white also got a bump on his head. After a while, both of them were lying on the ground looking at each other fiercely. It was like two kids who were fighting. Just when they were about to start a second round of dogfight, they heard a voice, "Little White! Number Six! What the hell are you guys doing?!!" Chapter 33: Red Storm! Tian was standing on the balcony of the Sect Building''s Eastern quarters. When he saw Little White and Number Six fighting and brawling in the dirt like kids, he immediately yelled to stop them. Little White and Number Six stopped their fight, when they noticed it was Tian yelling at them, they immediately rushed towards him. Little White quickly climbed onto Tian''s shoulder and Number Six grabbed hold of Tian''s leg like he was holding onto a pole. "Young Master, you must help me. This monkey has gobbled down all my precious herbs. He is simply a devil", Number Six went on ranting about Little white as he kept dragging on Tians leg. Little white was also screeching and pointing its fingers at Number six as it jumped on his shoulders. The loud screeches made his ears ring and Number six was pulling onto his leg so hard, that his pants were coming loose. He took hold of his belt, so that it won''t slip. But Number six was concentrating so much on Little white, that he didn''t notice Tian''s struggle to hold his pants. All this ruckus made Tian''s head spin, he was feeling giddy. "Shut the hell up!", Tian kicked Number six away and threw Little white onto the sofa beside him. Both of them understood that Tian was angry with them, so they obediently stayed quite. Number Six didn''t understand why the little monkey was grasping onto his Young master. Tian calmed down a little bit and stared at them, "This is Little White, he is my partner and lives with me. Also, Little white don''t you just go around stealing whatever you see. If you want anything, you can ask me. Don''t spoil the herb fields anymore" Tian always provided many precious herbs to Little White every day, he thought Little White would be having more than enough food. What Tian didn''t knew, was that Little white eats thrice the amount he provides every day. The source, of where those additional food comes from, was something only Little White knew. Tian went inside without bothering them, he wanted to test out the things he made. After Tian left, Number six lifted up his fat body and walked towards Little white with a proud face. He bent down a little and met face to face with Little White. "Hmph....Did you see that! Young master would punish you if you dare to look at my fields again. Hmph....puny little monkey¡­.hahahaa", Number six smirked and laughed at Little white. Little White was already irritated that he couldn''t eat the delicious food that is in front of his eyes, Number Six''s mocking made it even more irritated. It slapped Number Six''s face with its little but strong hand. Number Six got angry and returned a slap on Little White''s face. Little white didn''t wait and returned another slap. Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!.....Slap!....Slap!....Slap! Slap! Slap!¡­.. The brawl went on, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. It made Number Six''s face round like a water melon, it matched perfectly with his round body. Little whites chins have swelled, it looked like he was having a walnut in his mouth. Finally Number Six couldn''t endure and accepted his defeat, Little white made him bow down to him. It was really a sight to see. Tian was looking at the items in front of him. Tian made a total of three items. A spirit gun, a storage ring and a Defensive shield, which looked like a Rubik''s cube.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. At first, Tian thought of making a spirit sword. Spirit swords were the primary weapons, both in his previous world and in this world. But when he thought back to all the sword techniques he needs to learn, he just gave up. He was too lazy to practice and cultivate them. He learnt about guns that were used in this world, before the cultivation era began, some were using them even now. Tian thought that this was the most perfect weapon suited for him. He used the Innate Lava stone to craft its body. He named the gun Red Storm. It was hard for him to carry large amount of things. If Tian had the dagger, which he got from the assassin from training grounds, then he might not have suffered much with the 3 experts outside Huang city. Now he can carry an arsenal of weapons with him. He even added weight reduction inscription arrays on the ring. It was as light as a feather and has a storage area of 2 square meters. Finally, the cube type defensive shield. When used, the cube will unlock and form a semi-transparent defensive shield around Tian. It can even with stand the power of a Primary Earth realm experts full powers. He called it Titan Shield. Tian aimed at a large boulder at a 500 meter distance from the Rising Chaos sect. He used his spiritual energy to charge the Red storm and fired a shot. Boooommmmmm!!!!!!! The entire boulder was blasted away, what was left in its trace was only destruction. Even Tian was shocked with the amount of fire power in that shot. But Tian has already lost about 40% of his entire energy. Which means he could only shoot about two shots at a time. He then placed a flower pot on the ground and activated the defensive shield. He retreated far away from there and shot another shot at the shield. Booommmmm!!!!! Dust flew everywhere and it was not clear for Tian, on what happened to the shield. He waited some time and the dust settled. There was a circular excavation on the ground, at the center of the land was perfectly normal. The flower pot didn''t even flinch from its place, as the shield kept it safe. Tian was satisfied with this. He took Red storm and Titan shield into his storage ring and moved inside the main hall. The guards and outer disciples who saw thing were completely dumbfounded. Never in their life did they imagine that such a powerful expert was inside the Sect. They now understood the true power of Rising Chaos sect. Everyone was gossiping and talking about the hidden expert. When Tian reached the main hall, he called Number Five, who was a cultivation freak. He had already reached 3rd layer of blood refinement realm. Number Five was looking forward to whatever Tian wanted to say. He truly was a loyal fan of his young master. While Tian was creating his own equipment, he remembered that he had a dagger which he got from the assassin at training grounds. He decided to inscribe some inscriptions to increase the daggers power and also coated it with yin wood. The powers were increased many fold and it was not a powerful and sharp weapon. Tian was thinking who he should provide this dagger to, then he thought back to Number Five. When Tian gave the dagger to Number Five, he was moved. He clearly felt the power of the dagger, the moment it entered his hands. He swore in his heart that he would use this dagger to protect his Young master and slaughter all his enemies. When Number Five retreated back beside the six brothers, Number Three instantly came to him and asked if he could borrow the dagger to study the inscriptions laid down on it by young master. Number Five was very reluctant, but finally agreed to lend it to Number Three temporarily. Just when Tian was about to leave, Number One came forward and kneeled on one leg before Tian and cupped his fists "Young Master, I need your help!" Chapter 34: Family in Danger! Tian looked towards Number One, none of the six brothers have ever asked any help from him since the beginning. This was the first time they had a request, so he nodded and listened to him. Number One started explaining things. After the upgrade of Second life, many organizations lost their source of income, as 80% of the world''s population was no longer able to access Second Life and all the organizations located their businesses on Second Life. Only a few limited organizations setup their businesses both on Second Life and real world. Because of this change, everyone started to go crazy about the business areas in the real world. The demand for commercial spaces has increased drastically. Before this all happened, Rising Chaos sect has acquired large amount of lands inside the Huang city, as they wanted to build many businesses for their sect. The value of these lands have now reached hundreds of times their original value, which caused some of the underworld organizations to covet their assets. Just recently, many stores of Rising Chaos sect in Huang city got attacked by the underworld organizations and received threats. Number One tried to stabilize the situation as much as possible. He placed many of the outer sect disciples, who have reached 6th Layer body refinement realm to guard the stores. Finally, the situation got better. But then, Number One received a communication this morning. His 12 year old daughter has been kidnapped by one of the underworld organizations, called the Scorpions. They have demanded Number One to hand-over all the assets relating to Rising Chaos sect, else he threatened that he won''t be seeing his daughter anymore. Number One was plunged into Chaos, he was worried immensely about his daughter. He didn''t reveal this information to any of his brothers, as he didn''t want them to act on emotions and do something that will make them regret later. So he directly brought the situation to his Young master, he knew his young master would help him and is ready to keep his daughter''s life in his hands. Tian''s eyes immediately turned red from rage. He never imagined something like this would ever happen. All the other five brothers clenched their fists tight. All of them knew about Number One''s daughter, Xian Li. She was like the pearl of their eyes. They were burning with rage. "Do you know where their base is located?", Tian asked, trying to control his rage and think straight. Right now their priority was to get back Xian Li safely from their clutches. "Yes young master, their base is inside Huang city itself", Number one made sure to gather information on them before making a move, so he made use of Number Two''s information network to know everything about them. "Number One, we''ll go to them and handover all the assets. We can''t risk your daughter''s life over anything else. Also, I want every one of you to be ready, just in case they turn back on their words", Tian planned out everything. Right now, their main priority was to get Xian Li home safely. Tian asked the brothers to take out their weapons and he inscribed inscriptions on them to make them more powerful. Number One and Tian went ahead to the Scorpion''s base. When they reached the location, the guards over there took them inside to their main hall.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. A middle aged man was sitting at the main seat inside the main hall. He was Du Fai, the head of Scorpions. He was considered powerful in the underworld organizations as he had already reached Intermediate Energy Advancement realm. He was looking at Number One like a bag of walking gold. "Hahaha.....look who''s here. The leader of Rising Chaos sect. Looks like he values his daughter more than his sect", Du Fai laughed sinisterly as he looked at Number One, "You can leave the documents on the table and take your leave" Number One was shocked when he heard this, "Where is my daughter?! I want to see her right now. I brought what you wanted, now it''s time you release her!!", he was desperate to see his daughter and didn''t care about anything else. "You dare talk back! Just be happy that I''ve left you alive. Guards, throw him out", Du Fai never had the intention of letting his daughter go. He had his own plans for her. The guards rushed towards them to throw them out, but the next moment, they were already flying back with blood coming out of their mouths. They were dead! Du Fai was shocked with this, he didn''t the little boy standing beside Number One all this time. He never imagined that he could take down his guards in one punch. "How dare you attack my men!! Die!" He immediately dashed towards Tian and attacked him with his huge sword. Tian deflected his attack and kicked him on his wait after taking a back flip. Du Fai cried out in pain holding his waist with one hand. Although the attack hurt Du Fai, it was not enough to take him down. If Tian didn''t hold back and used his full power or even used his Red storm, Du Fai would definitely be killed in one shot. But right now he needed him alive, as Number One''s daughter was in his hands. Du Fai recovered and kept attacking Tian, but Tian countered his every attack and he wasn''t able to keep up with Tian. Finally Tian decided to end this and attacked him with Rising Fist. Du Fai flew back and collapsed on the main seat. "Don''t-...Don''t kill me. I''ll give you whatever you want, just don''t kill me", Du Fai revealed his true self. In front of death, he was worse than a coward. "Where is Xian Li? Bring her out this instant or be ready to face death", Tian punched the wall beside him and the entire wall came down crumbling. The entire mansion began to shake, as if it was about to fall any moment. "Hey kid, it''s better for you know when to stop. Release him this instant!", a green robed expert came in from the mansion, he looked at Tian as if he was looking at his servant. "And what if I don''t?", Tian looked at the green robed expert with a sharp gaze. Tian knew that the expert who came in was already in Earth Realm, but no matter who came to stop him today, he would fight them to death. "Big Brother Cheng Ran! Help me! This guy is going to kill me!", Du Fai cried out with all his might, trying to get Cheng Ran get rid of Tian instantly. Tian immediately threw a punch in Du Fai''s abdomen, making him unconscious. Cheng Ran was utterly enraged when he saw this, he never imagined Tian to simply throw away his words. "How dare you!", Cheng Ran immediately released his energy and punched out. His aura materialized and shot out towards Tian with extreme speed. Tian instantly dodged when he sensed danger. But even after he used his full speed, he got hit on his shoulder and went crashing onto a pillar, coughing up blood. The gap between an Energy Advancement expert and Earth realm were like a lake and an ocean. It was simply impossible to overcome it, no matter how hard one tried. "Young Master!!!!!!", Number One shouted in despair. Chapter 35: Death of Tian? Tian was injured, as he was not able to dodge Cheng Ran''s attack. Number One was utterly devastated when he saw his young master injured. He rushed forward to help Tian, but Cheng Ran just snorted and a gush of spirit energy swiped him off the ground. A blood refinement realm expert was like an ant in front of him. "Number One! Get away from here! Now!", Number one was badly injured, seeing which Tian got enraged. But he knew that if he stayed here any longer, Number One would surely die. Tian rushed towards Number One and gave him a healing potion. "No young master! " "It''s really a surprise, that you were able to survive my attack. Gotta say boy, you''re not bad at all. Just that you''ve messed with the wrong person today!", Cheng Ran laughed loudly as he saw Tian struggling to stand up. Tian took a healing potion and was able to recover from his injuries. He stared at Cheng Ran with eyes filled with rage. He took the sword in Number One''s hands and threw it at Cheng Ran at extremely insane speed. "Huh...child''s play. Do you still think that you can harm me with your petty attacks?", Cheng Ran looked at the Sword with as if it were a toy, he flicked his wrist and the sword shattered into countless fragments, as if it was a mirror. When he looked at Tian, he noticed a gun in his hands that was pointed towards him. "Hahahaa.....do you think that guns can hurt me. No matter what kind of gun it is, they are all useless in front of a cultivator. Boy you made me disappointed", Cheng Ran shook his head in disappointment. Tian charged Red Storm with his spiritual energy, the moment it was fully charged he fired a shot at Cheng Ran. The moment Tian took the shot, Cheng Ran felt sense of danger. He underestimated the Tian, but it was too late for him, the speed of Spirit shot was way faster than him. Boooommmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!! The entire mansion shook. It was already badly damaged from the fight between Tian and Du Fai, with this attack, the mansion came down crumbling. Tian took Number One and the unconscious Du Fai out of the mansion as soon as he could. Dust went into air as the mansion collapsed. The other five brothers who were waiting outside the mansion were for Tian''s call, were shocked when they saw this. They immediately went forward and stood beside Tian, "Young master!". Tian raised his hand to stop them from talking. He handed Number One to them. Tian was taking deep breaths and was trying to recover his spirit energy. He had never tried his Red Storm on a Earth Realm expert, so he was cautious as he didn''t know if Cheng Lu has been injured with his attack or not. The dust settled down slowly, Tian was charging Red Storm again, getting ready to shoot a second shot if needed. Before Tian could even see or do anything, the rubble suddenly blasted away in all directions. The Rubble struck Tian and he was holding onto himself. Cheng Ran rose from the rubble, holding his bloody left Shoulder, which was without an arm and glared like a wild wolf at Tian with his red eyes.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. "How dare you injure me!!!!!! I''ll kill all those who you love in front of you and I will make experience hell on earth!", Cheng Ran lost his left arm to Tian''s Red Storm. He never imagined that there was a gun that could hurt a cultivator. If he didn''t underestimate Tian and kept his guard up, he could''ve escaped his attack easily. Tian immediately fired Red Storm at Cheng Ran, but this time Cheng Ran was able to dodge the shot be the hair and dashed toward Tian. Tian was shocked and immediately activated the Titan''s shield. Immediately a barrier formed around Tian. Cheng Ran used his spiritual energy to attack the barrier, but to his shock, it didn''t even budge. But Cheng Ran was utterly consumed in rage of losing his arm, so he kept on attacking the barrier without stopping. The attacks kept raining on the barrier and with each attack the attack loosed some energy. Tian used Hollow Heart Stone, to store his spiritual energy, for powering up the shield. With each attack on the barrier, the energy dissipated inside the spirit storage. The barrier was no longer able to defend against the attacks and it began to crack slowly. When Cheng Ran saw this, he laughed madly and attacked even intensely. His attacks kept barging on like rain. Just when he thought that the barrier was about to break, an expert came flying and hovered in the air. "Cheng Ran! What are doing, causing ruckus inside the city. Do keep in mind that you a part of Tri Star Alchemy Association. Don''t go tarnishing our organization''s name like this", the gray robed expert looked at Cheng Ran with his head high, he was very displeased with what he is doing. "Manager Zhou, please let me take care of this. This kid has injured me and made me lose my left arm. I have to get my revenge, no matter what!", Cheng Ran didn''t even care about Manager Zhou. Right now his entire focus was on Tian, he wanted to capture him and kill him with his own hands. Seeing that Cheng Ran has lost an arm and it was a personal disputer, Manager Zhou decided to let him go this once. He looked at the kid who was able to injure Cheng Ran. He felt pity for such a talented boy to die in Cheng Ran''s hands. When Tian saw Manager Zhou, he immediately recognized him, "Hey mister! Aren''t you the store assistant at Tri Star Alchemy Association in the Virtual world! I''m the person who came to sell the potion formulas few months ago!", Tian knew that he could definitely get Manager Zhou to save him from this situation, he was betting his life on him. It was normal for people to recognize him, as he had worked for many years in Second Life for the organization. But there were very limited people from whom he had brought potion formulas. He remembered that a young man came to sell potion formulas a few months ago, that was exactly the moment after which he had been promoted as a Manager in Huang City branch. "Stop bluffing kid! It''s no use, no matter what trickery you use. You are destined to die today!", Cheng Ran kept attacking the barrier, it could break any moment now. Manager Zhou knew how the man, who sold him the potion formulas looked like. But Tian looked much younger than the guy you sold him the potion formulas. He was hesitant to take any action, as it could make him stand against his own subordinate. While Manager Zhou was still deciding whether to help Tian or not, the barrier crumbled under Cheng Ran''s constant barrage of attacks Kachaa...!! "Hehehe....It''s time to end this now!", Cheng Ran said sinisterly as he writhed in pain and gathered his entire energy to attack Tian. Now Tian had no way out. He wasn''t able to escape from Cheng Ran''s attack. The moment his attack hits Tian, Tian''s entire body would blast away like a watermelon Chapter 36: Call me Big Brother The moment Cheng Ran''s attack landed on Tian, Cheng Ran felt utter pleasure. He laughed crookedly, but then he noticed that there was a thin layer of blue shield covering Tian''s entire body. Cheng Ran was enraged and looked at Zhou Lan, "Mangager Zhou! What does this mean?!! You better involve in my personal business!" "Watch your tone Cheng Ran. Remember who you are speaking to! Even if your Cheng family is powerful inside the Huang City, you can''t afford to go against me", Manager Zhou was angry with the way Cheng Ran was speaking to him. The son of Cheng family is the assistant manager of Huang City''s branch of Tri Star Association. He was supposed to become the Manager, but then Zhou Lan got promoted and was made the Manger instead. This was the reason Cheng Ran, a Primary Grade Alchemy Master, was looking down on Manager Zhou, although he is the manager of Huang city''s branch, Cheng Zifan was the one who controlled all the members behind him. "It''s better if you leave from here. I''ll be taking this young lad with me", Manager Zhou said as he landed beside Tian, facing off Cheng Ran. Manager Zhou was someone in the Sky Realm. If he truly wanted to stop Cheng Ran, it wouldn''t even take him a second. Cheng Ran clenched his fists, "Stay safe kid, because you wouldn''t know how or when you''d die in my hands!", Cheng Ran shouted fiercely and retreated back. Tian was having a tough time holding the injuries, although Manager Zhou has covered his body with protective layer, the after shock of the attack shook him a bit. "Thank you Manager Zhou. I won''t forget your favor from today", Manager Zhou went against the Cheng clan for protecting him, he would definitely return the favor in the future. "Don''t be like that little brother, we are not strangers here. You can call be big brother Zhou and i''ll make sure that Cheng Ran or others won''t come after you", Manager Zhou knew that Elder Huang Zi treated the kid very respectfully. Even Elder Huang wanted to suck up to the young man, he didn''t want to miss his chance. Tian felt really awkward, calling someone nearly triple his age as brother, "Thank you big brother Zhou! I''ll take my leave for now, we need to find the daughter of my subordinate. She was kidnapped by these mongrels" When Manager Zhou understood the situation, he felt disgusted with Cheng Ran. How could he help someone like this. Now, Manager Zhou had a valid reason to counter Cheng Family''s influence in Tri Star Association inside Huang City. Tian walked towards the unconscious Du Fai and slapped him awake. Du Fai woke up with a swollen red face. When he saw the collapsed mansion, he was utterly shocked. Tian was standing tall beside him, which means Cheng Ran was not able to kill this kid. He immediately understood the situation and kneeled before Tian on all four. "Please sir, space me. Give me a single chance, I won''t ever get in your way", Du Fai started to beg for mercy and cried with snot face, he wanted to live.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. "Where is the girl you kidnapped? Answer me quickly or else get ready to face death!", Tian didn''t have any more patience. "Yes! Yes! I''ll tell you sir. The girl was fancied by Young Master Cheng Lu, so we had kidnapped her. It was only later we found out that she was the daughter of Rising Chaos Sect''s head, so we decided to place her in our hideout inside Huang City to wait for Number One to hand over the assets. I can take you there right now", Du Fai didn''t care about the consequences of him speaking the truth, right now all that is on his brain, is to get out of this alive and flee somewhere far away from Huang city. When Tian heard that it was Cheng Lu that ordered the kidnapping. First he sent his death warriors to assassinate him, then he kidnaps his subordinate''s daughter and now the incident with Cheng Ran. Tian had never felt such wrath towards anyone. He decided that no matter what, the people from Cheng Clan are going to die in his hands. Tian, Manager Zhou and the six brothers followed behind Du Fai to the hideout. They entered the dark underground tunnel which lead to a room. A frail little girl who was tied to a chair and blindfolded sat in the center of the dark room. The moment Number One saw her, he rushed towards the girl without care for anyone else, "Li''er!". The instant Number One''s voice entered the girls ears, she burst into tears, "Papa!! You''re here! Save me papa!!!" Number One uncovered her blindfolds and untied her from the chair. Xian Li was completely scared until now, the moment Number one untied her, she hugged him and started crying with her head in buried onto his body. Number One put his hand over her head and started to calm her down. When the others in the room saw this, they were completely moved. Tian and the five brothers were happy and were smiling looking at them, as number six cried tears of joy. But when he saw Du Fai who was beside him, he gave him a vicious kick on his crotch. It didn''t matter for him if he was someone at Energy Advancement Realm, he needed to pay for what he had done. After calming Xian Li, Number One looked towards Tian and immediately keeled before him with tears in his eyes, "Thank you Young Master! Thank you for saving my daughter''s life! I''m at your command. I''ll do whatever you want me to, even if you order me to die, I''ll die gladly for you Young Master", Number One was sincere in what he said. Tian facepalmed and then hit Number One hard on his head, "You idiot! Did you think i saved Xian Li so that you can die for me? You Dumb idiot! We are all one family! And whoever dares to touch my family has to face the consequences. Now get up!", Tian never treated the six brothers as his pawns or some hired thugs. Although he was selfish when he initially took them under him, but overtime they have become something irreplaceable in his life. He trusted them, the way they trusted him. All the six brothers were moved, even Manger Zhou was convinced that Tian was someone who values relationships. He now felt good that he stood up for someone like him. The six brothers already swore to serve their young master before and now they felt like a real family. No matter how hard the circumstances or what kind of life threatening dangers they face, they would never leave their master''s side. Everyone was happy on Xian Li''s safe return. Manager Zhou said that he would take care of Du Fai and took him away. Tian also promised Manager Zhou, that he would visit him to properly thank him, after things settle down. All the way on their return journey, Xian Li kept staring at Tian''s handsome face. When Tian noticed that she was looking at him, Tian smiled and waved his hand, which made her blush and turn her head away. Tian swore in his heart, he would definitely kill Cheng Lu and Cheng Ran with his own hands someday. Chapter 37: True Fire After Tian and the others reached the sect, Number One sent Xian Li back home and everyone gathered in the main hall on Tian''s command. Tian was never interested in the operation of the Sect. He left it all for the six brothers to handle. But now, he understood that he needs to do something. The sect needs at least some sort of protection. He might not be there, If the same thing happened in the future. Tian used his Divine Touch to transfer many of the fighting techniques and battle formations, which could be used even till Sky Realm. All those techniques were something he had gained information from his previous life. Although he was never able to cultivate them, he used those in his researches. Number One was speechless. Tian has transferred 2 techniques that could be cultivated till Sky Realm, 7 Earth Ream, 18 Energy Advancement and 47 Blood refinement realm techniques. Tian instructed Number One on the side effects of some techniques and how he should teach the cultivation techniques suited to their elemental affinities. He instructed the others on some things, transferred 100 Million to them and left for Tri Star Association''s store. Number One went on to record all the Techniques his young master transferred to him. Number Three and Number Six gathered together, Number Three wanted to grow more spirit herbs but the conditions were not right for them to grow the herbs. Number Three proposed to create spirit gathering formation, using which the spiritual herbs will be able to absorb more spiritual energy and can be harvested sooner with higher quality. They also wanted to create a training room filled with multiple layers of spirit gathering formations. With Number Six creating potions with his alchemy knowledge and the spirit formation aide, they will be able to reach new heights in the speed of cultivation progression. Number Two made a system of contribution points, the more contribution points an outer disciple had, the more time they can spend inside the Spiritual Training room. The contribution points can also be exchanged for battle techniques, the higher the grade, the higher the contribution points required. It has been only a day since Tian has used his divine touch on Number Four to transfer Spiritual Mechanisms knowledge. Number Four was filled with extremely crazy ideas, he wanted to immediately leave for Huang City and start buying all the materials he required. Like a chain reaction, things have been set into motion. Every person in the sect was filled with new energy. The incident with Xian Li was still fresh in everyone''s minds, they worked even harder and smarter than they have been. With Number One managing the sect, Number Two devising all the strategies, planning for the sect''s future and scouting new talents into the sect, Number Three working on Spirit gathering formations, sealing formations and protection formations, Number Four experimenting his ideas with mechanisms, Number Five teaching the disciples about sword arts and cultivation techniques and Number Six creating alchemy potions like a machine, while also maintaining the Sects fields Every single person was making progress with passion and focus. Xian Li also joined the outer disciples, making her the youngest of all the disciples. She was also the only female in outer sect, making her the precious pearl of outer sect. Xian Li wanted to become strong enough to protect herself, protect her father and her uncles and strong enough to serve her young master beside him. The Rising Chaos sect became more united than ever.This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Tian went to the Tri Star Associations branch in Huang city, he wanted to meet Manager Zhou and properly thank him. He asked the assistant inside that he was here to meet Manager Zhou, "Who the hell are you joking with kid! You want to meet with the Manager! Even I who has been working in here was rarely able to see him. Do you think you are a big shot that Manager Zhou wants to meet you?", the branch assistant was completely dissatisfied with Tian. He thought that Tian was just bluffing, so that he could any discount on the potions or pills here. Tian didn''t want to bother with him, he just contacted Manager Zhou through his communication device. Manager Zhou instantly rushed to the door to receive him. The assistant was so shocked that his mouth was wide open like a cave. Many Alchemy masters saw Manager Zhou talking with a kid and calling him "Little Brother", they were utterly shocked with this and took note of Tian''s face. Tian and Manager Zhou went inside a room and started having a chat. "Big brother Zhou, I noticed that Cheng Ran was acting out of line, even though you are the manager. Is there any problem going around?", Tian asked sincerely, as he knew that something was going on here. Tri Star Association was one of the world''s top organizations. Even Cheng clans power is like an ant for Tri Star Association, but the way Cheng Ran spoke, meant that he truly looked down on Manager Zhou. "It''s okay brother. You don''t need to bother with that. Cheng family head''s second son, Cheng Zifan is the Assistant Manager of Huang city branch. He was supposed to be the Manger, but due to my sudden promotion, he was posted as a Assistant Manager", Manager Zhou smiled awkwardly. He was not really comfortable with this situation. "Still, you are the Manager. Shouldn''t he still give you the respect of a Manager?" "It''s complicated brother. Cheng Zifan has become a Alchemy Grand Master, while I''m still an Advanced Master Alchemist. Things around here won''t change unless I become a Grand master level alchemist" "Then why don''t I help you become a Alchemy Grand Master?", Tian was sure that with his years of knowledge, it would be easy for him to make Manager Zhou a Grand Master Alchemist "If it was so easy to become a Grand Master Alchemist, I would''ve already become one brother. You might already know that after stepping into Earth Realm, cultivators can find rare and sentient fires with mystical powers and make it their own True Fire", Manager Zhou put his hand forward and a wisp of purple fire kept burning above his palm. "A Grand Master Alchemist needs to refine profound level pills, which requires great control over his True Fire. Nothing in this world can help me become Grand Master, unless I improve control over my True fire. It is something that comes with comprehension of one''s True Fire", Manager Zhou didn''t scoff off Tian''s words. He was happy that at least he said so. "You just need to refine a Profound level pill right? I think i do have a solution. Why don''t you try it once and see if it really works or not?", Tian stood up and closed all exits of the room. Manager Zhou got a little surprised with this. Tian didn''t want to use his Divine Touch. He wanted to keep it as his secret as much as possible, so instead he started to explain about Alchemy arrays to Manager Zhou by directly teaching it to him. The Alchemy array that Tian is teaching Manager Zhou divides his True fire into many parts and forms a array formation which stabilizes the pill refinement process and also improves the quality of pill. With this, Manager Zhou will be able to easily make a Profound Level or even Perfection Level pill. The more he listened, the more he got shocked by the content. By the end of it, Manger Zhou was looking at Tian as if he was looking at his long lost wife. Tian got a bit of Goosebumps over his gaze. Manager Zhou immediately stood up and grabbed Tian''s hand, "Follow me brother!" Chapter 38: Grand Master Alchemist Manager Zhou kept rushing from one door through another. They have finally reached a grand hall. At the entrance of the hall, there was a massive door with dragon markings. The guard the door greeted Manager Zhou. "Prepare an Advancement test for me, I''m making the third grade Wood Mist Pill", Manager Zhou ordered the guard to prepare the materials. The news that Manager Zhou is taking Advancement test has instantly spread across the Alchemists in the branch. Somewhere in the building, inside a large room, a purple robed expert was sitting in front of a cauldron, preparing pills. An Alchemist entered the room in a hurry, "Master Zifan, Manager Zhou is taking the Advancement test!", he was flustered when speaking, as he knew that if Manager Zhou became a Grandmaster Alchemist, then Cheng Zifan would not be in a good position. "That fool thinks too highly of himself, his luck isn''t going to be of any help to him. The last time I have seen that his True fire is only the first grade. To become a Grand Master, he needs to have at least second grade True fire. Let him make a joke of himself, it''ll be quite a show", he fling his robe and started walking towards the Advancement hall. The other alchemists started to follow behind Zifan. In the Advancement hall, the guard prepared all the materials required for Wood Mist Pill. The cauldron stood at the center of the Advancement hall. Manager Zhou flicked his wrist and a black mesmerizing flame hovered on his hand. It was just then, all the Alchemists and Cheng Zifan entered the hall. They were paying attention to Manager Zhou. If Manager Zhou successfully becomes a Grand Master Alchemist today, then they will have to choose wisely on which side they want to stand. Cheng Zifan was currently the only Grand Master Alchemist in this branch. Many Alchemists noticed a kid seating at the side of the hall. All the Alchemists that were standing here were either Alchemy Apprentices or Alchemy Masters, they thought that the kid was either too dumb or too arrogant. Tian was completely didn''t care about any of them, he was only looking at Manager Zhou, he was sure that Manager Zhou would be able to become a Grand Master Alchemist today. The True flame on Manger Zhou''s palms started to divide and spread across the cauldron. The flames glowed brightly and moved in sync like a whirlpool, they glowed brightly and formed the shape of a black dragon that coiled itself on the Cauldron. All the Alchemists including Cheng Zifan got surprised by the sudden formation of dragon silhouette. Many people started recording the process Manager Zhou was making the pills. Manager Zhou guided the alchemy material one after the other into the cauldron. He controlled the alchemy formation accurately and the materials were processed successfully. The next step was to fuse the materials and make their essence into one, forming the spirit pills. The black dragon silhouette roared and started flying high up into the air and circling the roof of the hall, it suddenly gave off a cry and dived directly into the cauldron. Spoooshhh... Everyone was silent, they didn''t knew if the pills were successfully formed. The pills have to be at least Superior Level for Manager Zhou to become a Grand Master Level alchemist.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Manager Zhou slapped the cauldron and the pills came out flying, falling directly into a pill bottle in his hands. He stood up and walked slowly to the stone platform in the hall. He placed the pills in a glass cylinder with many inscriptions on it, the pill bottle instantly vanished instantly. Tian was really surprised by this. He had never seen such complex inscriptions since his arrival on earth. He studied the inscriptions on it carefully with his enhanced vision, it took him a while to understand that it was a teleportation formation inscribed on it. The extent to which earth has developed inscriptions in a mere 2 centuries has really shocked Tian. Manager Zhou and all other Alchemists were attentively looking towards the stone platform. The pills came back inside the glass and a silhouette of old man appeared before them, "Congratulations Zhou Lan, you have successfully refined a Grade three pill, with 1 Perfect Level, 3 Profound Level and 5 Superior level among them. You have been promoted to Grand Master Level, you would receive your token soon", the old man disappeared as soon as he announced the Advancement result. The entire crowd was speechless. Manager Zhou knew about the pill grades when he took them out from the cauldron, but hearing it from the Assessment elder was completely different from that. Cheng Zifan silently took his leave, he didn''t want to face Manager Zhou right now. Many alchemists decisively took the side of Manager Zhou, even though Cheng Zifan was a Grand Master alchemist for longer than Manager Zhou, even he couldn''t produce 9 servings of pills in one batch and that too with a perfect level pill. Manager Zhou received everyone''s greetings, while Tian went into Manager Zhou''s chamber to wait. Manager Zhou returned to his room after the formalities with other alchemists. "I thank you from the bottom of my heart brother! You have done the greatest favor for me", Manager Zhou bowed before Tian to express his sincerity. Tian instantly lifted him up, "Don''t speak like that, if your truly treat me as your brother", Manager Zhou has helped him with the situation of Cheng Ran, he was returning the favor. Manager Zhou and Tian had a chat about Cheng Ran and what to do with the situation. Manager Zhou assured that Cheng Ran would not cause anymore trouble to Tian, he said he''ll make sure of it. After talking for a while, Tian asked if Manager Zhou would buy Pill formulas, "Are you kidding my brother? Pill formulas are completely different from Potion formulas. Potions can be made basically by anyone. But Pills can only be made by those possessing True fire and also the effects of a Pill can never be compared to a potion. Potion formulas are rare to come by, they are not circulated in the market. If you can truly take out a pill formula, I''d gladly buy it brother", Manager Zhou knew that this was a serious matter. "The Pill formula I want to sell is Purple Yang Pill, it would increase the chances of breaking through into Earth Realm by 80%. Anyone in Advanced Energy Refinement Realm can take it and be able to overcome cultivation bottlenecks", Tian had countless pill formulas, but he didn''t want to show his cards. Tian didn''t have any money on him , after buying materials for Red Storm, Titan shield and Storage ring, he was almost left with nothing. He even gave a 100 million to the Sect. He needed money urgently. Manager Zhou thought for a second and said, "Alright brother, but I cannot decide the value of the pill formula myself. Give me a moment", He went to contact Elder Huang Zi. After hearing that the person selling the pill formula is the same person who sold him potion formulas, he immediately agreed to buy the formula without any testing. He said that to buy the Pill formula for 5 billion. Manager Zhou got the pill formula from Tian and transferred the 5 billion to him, Tian wasn''t surprised this time. He understood the value of knowledge he possessed. Elder Huang Zi was already in Huang City, he asked Manager Zhou to stall Tian for some time before he arrives. But Tian had some things to take care of, he said he''ll surely visit him again and took his leave. Tian wanted to avoid meeting Elder Huang, all these guys go around calling him little brother, which seriously made him question his own age. Time to run away from here. Chapter 39: Top Three Academies Tian went home to his grandma, it has been very long since he spent any proper time with her. While he was on his way, he received a call from Head Master Buck Wing. "Tian! Where the hell have you been? Didn''t I say that you''d be joining the higher class after the tournament?", Head Master Buck Wing was frustrated with this kid. He waited day and night for him at the school, but he didn''t even appear once. "I have already broken through to Energy Advancement realm, why would i want to come back to school? Just let me rest at home. I can pass all the physical tests.", Tian never wanted to go back to the boring school, there''s nothing he could do over there. Head master was shocked beyond belief, he has never seen a monster like him. He has directly broken through from 5th Layer Blood Cultivation to Energy Advancement realm. He went silent for a moment. "It''s all the more reason for you to come to school. The entrance test for the Academies will start after 2 months. If you come to school, we can guide you in your cultivation and battle techniques", Head Master had hopes of raising the fame of his school. If Tian got admitted to a top academy, then things will start changing for the better of the school. Tian knew that after he completes his school, he would be sent to an academy depending on his performance. There are many types of academies on Earth. Some of the Top Academies were the Military Academy, the Western Alliance Academy and the Heavenly Sky Academy. The Military Academy mainly focuses on battle techniques, the Western Alliance focuses on Spiritual tools and Spirit Mechanisms and the Heavenly Sky Academy focuses on Alchemy and Inscriptions. All three academies have their own divisions to teach what is taught by other academies as well, but they were only designed as supporting courses for the specialization courses. The entrance test is conducted by all the Academies combined. After the test, students will receive offers from various Academies, depending on their performance. It was common knowledge that anyone below Earth realm will never be able to pass the tests. Head Master buck wing just wanted Tian to get selected in any one of the top 20 Academies. With his genius performance, he thought Tian could easily attract some Academies attention even if he didn''t clear the tests. Tian was never interested in the academies, but he heard that the ones who graduate from the top academies are sent to different planets for administration and postings. Tian really wanted to see how beautiful the other planets are. He wanted to relax and sun bathe on mars, get into cozy warm bed in Uranus and get a perfect view of earth from moon. His desire to seek best comfort for resting has aroused interest in him to get into those academies. Tian said that he will attend the Test, but he won''t be coming to school. He had got where he is without any help form the school, so Head Master also had to agree with his request. Tian stayed with his grandma and Little White for the next few weeks. He cultivated his Nine Heavens sleeping technique at afternoons and night, used the remaining time to play with Little White and grandma. Seeing Tian spend time with her, grandma got emotional. Tian broke through to Advanced Energy Advancement Realm after a month, he was just a step away from Earth Realm. But no matter how hard he tried, he was not able to open another meridian or break into Earth Realm.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. While Tian was having his short "Vacation", the Rising Chaos sect was undergoing a huge Transformation. All six brothers have took some time apart for their cultivation, using the knowledge of Alchemy and Inscriptions they have made many things to boost their cultivation speed. All the brothers have now reached 7th layer of Blood Refinement, only one step away from Energy Advancement Realm. Under the constant nourishment of the Spiritual energy, the spiritual herbs have grown in large quantity and quality as well. Number Three has also used inscriptions to speed up the harvesting time of those herbs by using a life draining array. The array is powered by the weeds and useless lumber trees in the forest. The array collects the life essence from them at a slow pace and injects them into the herb fields. This didn''t hurt the tree''s life span much, as those trees usually live for thousands of years if left undisturbed. Number Six kept the useful herbs in the storage room, while sending the rest to their stores along with the other precious and rare herbs. The quality of the herbs provided by them instantly gained popularity among Alchemists and with the backing of Manager Zhou, all their stores run their operations smoothly. Number One used his network to increase the popularity and demand of their sect''s herbs. The income made from the stores were mainly used for getting more resources into the sect. Number Six researched using the knowledge provided by his young master. He made a pill that can let anyone under blood refinement realm to jump his cultivation by 3 layers. But it can only be used once. Number Two made it such that the outer sect disciples can earn this using 100 Credit Points. The outer sect disciples were sent on many missions for hunting beasts for their materials and scouting for rare and spiritual herbs. But they didn''t get tired from all the missions, they were more than enthusiastic. The training rooms built by Number Three are divided into three grades. First grade room increases the spiritual absorption twice the normal speed. Second Grade room increases it four time and Third Grade room increases the speed by 8 times. These rooms were highly sought after by the disciples. But no one was ever able to afford to cultivate in the Third Grade room, as it requires a whopping 5000 credit points per day. These people loved to listen to Fifth elder''s lectures, they were so profound yet he was able to explain them in a manner they can understand. Number Four went on with his experiments, but not even one succeeded. The other brothers kept encouraging him, so as not to let him down. The points of outer disciples were recorded manually, as there were many risks in using modern technology for storing such information, because it was very easy to hack. Number Two tasked Number Four with creating a token that can not only store the Credit points of disciples but also have the ability to transfer one token to another, detect the life signs of the disciples and update it in the main hall. He wanted it to be a tool that is completely independent of modern technology. Although Number Two''s requirements were harsh, they acted as a sort of motivation for him. He kept trying and trying again, he didn''t even know how many times he failed. He kept persevering through all his failures. What Tian didn''t mention Number Four was that Spirit Mechanisms was one of the toughest of all other professions. It took many years even for Tian to progress in that. Although Tian''s knowledge acted as a source of direction for him, he had to travel the path himself to truly master the art. Failure is never the end, it''s the journey which leads to success eventually. Chapter 40: Silver Skull Insignia Number Four faced failures upon failures. Finally after three weeks, he was able to make the tokens that Number Two requested. Number Two was really surprised by the "Tokens" that Number Four has made. It can project the data of the token''s owner, along with information about his Credit points. The disciples can browse through the missions and accept them through the tokens, they can even communicate with other members possessing the tokens. It was almost comparable to any modern communication devices. The reason Number Two wanted to make tokens that work on spiritual energy, instead of modern technology gadgets is because of the incident Tian faced during his training in Huang Forest. An assassin used a jammer and cut off all signals for Tian to communicate to the base. Which made him go through the life threatening dangers. He didn''t want such incidents to occur in the Rising Chaos sect. No matter where a member of Rising Chaos sect was, he can communicate with others using the token. No jammers will stop it from reaching the sect. This is the ideal Communication device in Number Two''s mind. It took time for everyone to get used to the tokens, as it was an order from Second Elder, everyone started to use them everywhere possible. Eventually they got used to it. The Rising Chaos sect accepted anyone with cultivation potential. Many people got attracted under the lure of precious resources, training rooms that can boost cultivation speed and the break through potions provided by the Rising Chaos sect. Even other small and medium sized clans started sending their members to join Rising Chaos sect. Number Two knew that not everyone wanted to join Rising Chaos sect with good intentions. There were many spies from other clans and various powers. Number Two kept an eye on every one of them. His intensive network kept tabs on their every move. It was not yet the time to pull these weed out, so he kept the secrets of the sect far away from those spies. Number Four continued with his experiments. Whenever a disciple passes by Number Four''s room, they can hear weird noises and even sound of blasts that scared the hell out of them. Every single item that Number Four made other than the tokens was a failure. All the things he made turned into bizarre items and he kept throwing all the failed items into a corner. Right now, only Number Five was teaching the disciples about battle techniques. The decision of Number Two was to teach core techniques like Alchemy, Inscriptions and Mechanisms to only those who become inner disciples. Right now there were no inner disciples in the Rising Chaos sect. With the rise in number of disciples, the burden on Number Six increased even more. He had to make potions for all the members. So he decided to take in personal disciples. Number Two agreed that it was time to take in disciples into inner sect. Number Six knew the characters of many of the disciples, with Number Two filtering out the spies, he conducted a test for those having talent in potion refining. Out of the 400 odd outer sect disciples, only 20 passed the test. After further checking their backgrounds and choosing those with most potential, they ended up with 7 disciples, whom Number Six took under his wing.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. Number Three also conducted tests and ended up with 12 disciples under his care. As Number Four was busy with his experiments, he rejected to take in any disciples right now. Soon the 19 disciples were announced as Inner sect disciples. The chambers provided for these disciples were powered with spirit gathering formations, of course their effects were less than that of training chambers but they can cultivate in their chambers for any amount of time they want. They were required to buy the spirit particles required to power the formation by themselves, they can even exchange their credit points for it. As the Rising Chaos sect grew in power, the other clans in Huang city started to pry its secrets. Many herb stores were losing its customers to the Rising Chaos sect''s herb stores. The people from Cheng Clan herb stores wanted to make a move on them, but were stopped when they heard that they were backed by the Manager Zhou. When Tian reached the sect after a month he was completely stunned. No matter how many times he thought he wouldn''t be surprised by these guy''s moves, he always ended up getting dumbfounded. When he found that Number Five has already broke through to Energy Advancement realm and all others being in 6th Layer of Blood refinement realm, he was utterly smashed. ''What the f***! Am I the one who transmigrated or them?!! If this goes on, they might become Earth realm cultivators, while I''ll still be sitting in Energy Advancement realm'', Tian was crying in his heart. He felt it was unfair. If Tian learns that even Zhang Tie has reached Energy Refinement realm, he might even die from shock. For the first time, Tian felt he was truly being lazy. He decided that he had to break through into Earth Realm soon or else he might regret it. Tian asked Number Three to arrange materials that he required and send them to his chamber. After a few moments Number Three delivered all the materials that Tian wanted. Tian started another round of refining potions and creating items for his next trip. He wanted to go to Huang Forest and hunt for Earth Realm beast core. With it, he will be able to create Six Revolutions pill and use it to break through into Earth realm. After an entire night, Tian came out of his chambers. He informed the six brothers that he would be leaving for Huang Forest. They insisted on going along with him, but were rejected. Number Two gave Tian a specially made token. Tian was surprised by the ingenuity of these guys to make such a spiritual tool. Tian took off to the Huang forest, while Little White stealthily followed behind him. When Tian took notice of it, he threw a stone at Little White''s head, "You idiot! Why are you following me into the forest? Just go back home, this is a very dangerous trip!", Tian wanted Little White to go back. He didn''t know what kind of dangers he would face in the forest, it would be best to leave Little White for its own safety. Little White screamed and cried, clinging onto Tian''s hand. Tian tried to persuade it, but was not successful under Little White''s shiny pitiful gaze. Tian finally sighed and asked Little White to stick close to him all the time and to run away if they face any life threatening dangers. In some corner of the jungle, under a large tree laid a white hooded man was covered in blood with his hand on his abdomen. He was trying to hold his breath and hide under the shadows. "Do you think you can run from me? No matter where you are, I will catch you! You can''t escape from this forest alive!", an expert wearing black hood, covering his entire body and a silver skull insignia on his chest, hovered in the air over the tree where white hooded man was hiding. Chapter 41: Spirit Stone Little white and Tian travelled towards the center of the forest, on their way they faced many beasts. But many of the beasts choose to flee from them, when they noticed the aura of Energy Refinement realm from Little White and Tian. They fought with many Advanced Energy Advancement realm beasts and defeated them in an instant. Tian saw the battle prowess for the first time and was instantly amazed. Little White was very agile compared to any other beasts, which made it difficult for any beast to win over it. They rested for the night near a waterfall, roasting a beast they caught on their way. Little was always preferred spiritual and rare herbs for eating. It never tried any roasted meat. When it ate the roast meat for the first time, its eyes glowed like anything. It instantly started to devour the entire roasted beast. Luckily, Tian has already taken a portion for himself before giving it to Little White. After a while Little White looked towards Tian with shining eyes, it was addicted to the roast meat. It instantly went into the forest and came back with a rabbit in its hands. Tian laughed crazily, but then helped to roast it for Little White. While Little White and Tian were enjoying their meal, they heard a noise from the bushes. Something was approaching slowly towards them. They both got ready to attack whatever was coming for them. The sound grew closer, finally a White hooded man came out from the bushes walking like a zombie. Tian could clearly sense the aura of a Advanced Earth Realm expert from him. Tian was about to attack him, just then, the White hooded man collapsed on the ground. Tian didn''t move and observed him carefully. He noticed the blood on his abdomen and understood he was injured. Tian and Little White looked towards each other. After sometime the White Hooded man opened his eyes. He felt that the pain from his injuries has vanished. Just when he was about to get up, he found his arms and legs tied down. He noticed a young boy in front of him holding a gun, he also noticed all his weapons and stuff near the boy''s legs. He tried to break the chains tied to him, but was unable to, which shocked him. The chains were made by Tian using many rare ores. The White Hood man looked towards Tian and said in a low voice, "Hey kid! Why did you tie me down? Please release me, you can take just whatever you want", although his tone didn''t sound like he was requesting. Tian could still sense he was sincere in his words. "I''ll release you, but before that answer me a few questions", Tian asked who he was, what he was doing in the forest and why he was injured. The White hooded man hesitated for a moment, but after realizing that this kid was the one who saved him, he answered all his questions. The young man''s name was Heng Fu, he was from the Jiang city. He was going on a journey to find Muang Sword ginseng in the center of Huang Forest. But while on his journey, an expert in sky realm tried to assassinate him. Heng Fu was lucky that he had some lifesaving tools and was able to escape from the expert alive, after suffering heavy injuries. He roamed around with his injuries, trying to get out of the forest, but met with Tian just when he was about to collapse.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Tian understood the whole situation. Although he wasn''t sure, if it was a wise choice for him to release Heng fu. But his intuition said he was not harmful, so he released him. After getting his restraints removed, he bowed towards Tian, "Thank you for treating my injuries. I will never forget your help" Tian gave some of his roasted meat to Heng Fu, while Tian was jumping around angrily for giving away his meat to a stranger. Heng Fu was surprised that a beast was tagging along with a human. Although it was not rare for people to tame beasts, he found the human like behavior of Little White surprising. While they were having fun with teasing Little White, a chill run down their spine as they sensed immense spiritual energy. Tian took Little White in his arms and jumped away from the camp fire along with Heng Fu. Booommmm!!!!!! A huge energy attack hit the area they were sitting at, "Hahahaha....Looks like your senses are sharp and seems like you have also found a friend to share your death with. Hahahahaa....", a Black hooded man with silver skull insignia laughed as he looked toward Tian and Heng Fu with sinister gaze. Tian and Heng Fu instantly dashed deep into the forest trying to escape, "Hmph...Trying to escape again? Let''s see how far you can run", the black hooded man kept chasing them by flying through the air. Tian and Heng Fu knew that they would eventually get caught by the expert. Huang Fu felt guilty, that he made Tian face the danger together with him. But Tian never regretted his decisions. "Brother Fu, do you have any spirit particles on you? Or anything that has spirit energy storage inside?", Tian knew it was a time of ultimate danger. They will eventually get caught by the expert, so their only option is to defeat that expert or die in his hands. Heng Fu didn''t understand why Tian was asking him this in such a situation, but he shook his head and answered, "I only have half a spirit stone", Heng Fu took out a green stone form his robes and tossed it towards Tian. Tian instantly felt large amount of spirit energy from the spirit stone. It was just like the spirit stones in his world, but only had millions of times less spiritual energy. But for the current him, it was more than enough. "Brother Fu, I have a request. When we face the expert, could you divert his attention from me for a few moments? I have a way to defeat that expert, but I would need your assistance" Heng Fu couldn''t believe Tian''s words. Defeating an expert in Sky realm was not a joke. Even he who was just a step away from Sky realm, could only escape from the experts attacks. But he understood that there was no way for him to survive anyway, so it was better to accept Tian''s proposal. After a while the expert caught up with them and stopped them in their tracks. The expert was about to attack them and end their life in one strike, but Heng Fu suddenly shouted, "Don''t kill us so soon! Do you know who my father is? No matter how much you are paid to assassinate me, my family will chase you down to the ends of earth after this", Heng Fu started his act to keep the expert from killing them instantly. The expert laughed sinisterly, "Did you think I came to attack you without knowing where you''re from? No matter how powerful your family is, they wouldn''t be able to catch me. Just blame your luck for being born into such a family that has so many enemies. Rest assured, no one would ever be able to search your body. Heheheheee" "Jeez, such a pervert!" The expert suddenly heard a sound from his back, just when he was about to turn back, he felt a powerful surge of energy from there. Ka Boommmmmm...!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chapter 42: Little White in danger A sudden blast hit the Black Hooded expert and the force of the attack was so large that it even made the trees near him disintegrate. Heng Fu was pushed away a few meters by the force. Everything was in shambles. Heng Fu was still in confusion about what happened, then looked in the direction of where the attack came from. He saw Tian fallen near a tree with his burnt hands and a deformed gun that he saw when he first met Tian. Little White was with Tian when he shot the fire, they didn''t imagine the attack to be so strong, it was also sent flying out by the attack''s force. He lied there unconscious just beside Tian. Heng Fu never imagined the power of the gun to be so terrifying. He remembered the scene when Tian pointed the gun at his head, it sent shivers down his spine. He hurried towards Tian and immediately gave him some healing potions, which made his injuries better. The injuries were not lethal, it was just the heat produced by Red Storm when it fired the shot. Even it was not able to handle the heat and its entire nozzle got deformed. Tian used the spirit energy from the broken spirit stone to power up Red Storm. He thrusted so much energy into the shot that even Red Storm wasn''t able to bear. But to his surprise, the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone only depleted by 40%. He stood up and looked towards the fallen expert on the ground. The experts first mistake was that he didn''t care about Tian who was with Heng Fu all this time and his second mistake was not putting up his guard when he was taking with Heng Fu. The Left side of the Experts body was completely burnt. He never expected an ant to make him injured to such extent. He howled in anger. His entire body was aching with unbearable pain, he gave a deathly glare towards Tian. Right now he didn''t care about Heng Fu at all, all his mind was filled with wrath towards Tian. "YOU WILL REGRET MAKING THIS MOVE KID!!!! I WILL BLOW YOU INTO UNCOUNTABLE PIECES!!!!", the expert was never enraged this much in his entire life. He wanted to kill Tian today, no matter the price. He took out a belt with lots of spirit bombs hanging on it. The sheer sight of spirit bombs sent shiver down the spines of Tian and Heng Fu. The expert pulled a thread tied to the spirit bombs and threw the spirit bomb belt towards Tian and immediately put up his energy barrier as he retreated back. Heng Fu gave up his thoughts of getting out of here alive. Even if he survived the attack with his spiritual energy, he won''t be able to defeat the expert when all his spiritual energy is already depleted in blocking the bombs. Tian swiftly took out the Titan Shield and pulled out the hollow heart stone, replacing it with the broken spirit stone. Immediately the Titan shield activated and formed a barrier covering Tian, Heng Fu and Little White. Once a bomb blasted, like a chain reaction, all the other bombs instantly went off in a series. Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!.... It took some time for the after effects of the blast to cool down and dust began to settle. The expert was happy to finally kill those cockroaches. He was already thinking of demanding a huge amount of spirit stones from the one who posted the bounty. He had to go through so much just to kill a Earth Realm expert. While he was trying to recover his energy and thinking about how much he can demand from the person who placed the bounty, the dust around the area cleared.Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. When he glanced at the location to see the shredded body parts of Tian and Heng Fu, he saw the perfectly safe Tian and Heng Fu standing inside a dome type barrier. Even the land inside the barrier didn''t even flinch. He got scared like hell and immediately started to retreat back. He knew that he couldn''t deal with those kids with all the injuries on his body. "Brother Fu! Don''t let him escape! Kill him no matter what", Tian immediately requested Heng Fu to chase down the expert. He wanted to remove the trouble from its roots. If they let him live today, he would definitely return to take their life the next time. Heng Fu nodded and went down to chase the expert. The black robed expert was not able to escape fast, with his present injuries. After some time Heng Fu caught up with him and was able to kill him swiftly. Heng Fu searched all over his body, but was not able to find anything useful on his body other than some pills, two spirit stones and the silver skull insignia By the time he returned, Tian has already recovered from his injuries. He sat on the ground resting his head on the tree trunk. Little white was resting on his lap, it was only unconscious and not injured anywhere. "I owe you my life brother! I will give you my everything and I''m even willing to become your subordinate!", Heng Fu owed Tian his life. He was a straight forward man. If you do him a favor, he would go to any length to return the favor. But Tian has given him a new life. He swore in his heart to stay beside Tian and help him in whatever way possible. Tian shook his head, "It''s alright brother, and I didn''t do it for gaining anything. I saw that you were a honest man, so I helped you. You don''t need to do anything. I''ll come looking for you if I really need something", Tian knew that this guy would not leave him so easily. It was better to calm him down saying that he would go to him, in case he needed any help. But both Tian and Heng Fu knew that Tian would never come to ask favor from Heng Fu. Even though they stayed together for only a short time, Heng Fu understood a lot about Tian. So he also acted as if accepting Tian''s words. "Can I know why you came to the forest? If are here to find something, I can help you with it", Heng Fu remembered he never asked Tian why he came to the forest. "I am searching for a Earth Realm beasts core", Tian felt that with Heng Fu helping, he could easily achieve his target. "What? Beast Core? I have a lot of them. I don''t know what they are useful for, but I didn''t liked to throw them away and I stored them", Heng Fu felt weird that Tian was searching for beast cores. Even though Beast cores have a lot of energy inside them, the energy inside them was not suitable for humans to cultivate. If someone cultivated the energy inside them, they would go berserk and lose all sanity. The only known use of beast cores was to feed them to pet beasts. The energy in beast core helps any beast consuming them in rising their level. Heng Fu felt that Tian might be searching them for Little White. He took out a pouch and gave it to Tian. Tian caught the pouch, opened it and took out the beast cores. To his shock, the pouch was filled with all sorts of Earth realm beast cores and there was even a Sky realm beast core among them. The moment Tian opened the pouch Little White''s nose twitched. He opened his eyes and found beast cores in Tian''s hands. He instantly snatched the Sky realm beast core and swallowed it. "!!!!!!!!!!!! Little White! Why did you eat that!!!", Tian was shocked. The energy contained in a sky realm beast core was not something Little White can handle. He felt Little White''s body bursting with spiritual energy, the amount of energy far exceeded what Little White''s body can handle. Little White rolled on the ground holding its neck. ''Little White is in danger!'' Chapter 43: Six Revolutions Pill Little White''s body started to swell with overloading energy. Tian was worried about him, but he didn''t understand what he could do in this situation. Little White''s body kept on twitched and suddenly all motion stopped. Its body stopped moving, Tian checked for his pulse and everything was normal. Little White fell unconscious again, but this time due to the excess spiritual energy in his body, he went into hibernation. Heng Fu reassured Tian that it was common for a beast to go into deep sleep when they are about to break through. Tian finally heaved a sigh and placed Little White in his robes. "I don''t have anything to do, why don''t I follow you back brother? It would also be great for me to look around the Huang city", Heng Fu wanted to stick around Tian, but he wasn''t able to say it directly. Tian agreed with him, to coming over to the sect. Tian had got his hands on Earth Realm beast cores. All that was needed for him was to make the Six Revolutions pill. But it was impossible for him to create a pill without True fire. Tian kept thinking of this problem along the way. He then remembered something and asked Heng Fu, "Brother Fu, can you tell me more on these beast cores that you gave me?" "The beast cores? I never had a use for them. I just collected them because they look pretty. If you want more, I could buy them for you", Heng Fu thought that Tian might want more of these beast cores, so he offered to buy some for him. When Heng Fu talked about buying beast cores, as if they were peanuts, Tian went into a daze, "Do you know what the beast cores are used for?" "Aren''t they just pet food for beasts? I haven''t heard of any other use for them. An Earth Realm beast core usually goes around for about 20 Million Yuan" Tian finally understood why Heng Fu gave away the beast cores so easily to him. Looks like no one really understood, how to remove the berserk energy from beast cores and use them. If he knew he could buy beast cores for so low prices, he would never have stepped into the Forest. Tian''s felt his mind going dizzy. ''How could I be so dumb! I could''ve just slept in my bed and got all the beast cores delivered to me. My precious sleep!!!'', his eyes started getting watery. "Are you alright brother?", Heng Fu felt that Tian might''ve been feeling week because of all the fight he''s been through. "I''m fine", Tian gave a wide smile to Heng Fu, while tears were rolling out from his eyes. He felt like a cartoon character right now. Heng Fu felt a chill down his spine, he didn''t speak along the journey out of the forest, as Tian kept making that weird face all the way along. Back in the Huang City, things were going good for the Rising Chaos sect stores. But that couldn''t be said to some other herb stores. Cheng clan stores also suffered big time. All other medium sized stores have gathered together in the Cheng Clan''s store, they wanted to do something about this situation.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. "Manager Xie, we need to do something about this. If this goes on, we will be left bankrupt", a manager of medium sized store said to Manager Cheng Xie with a frustrated look on his face. "We have information that Manager Zhou will be leaving for the Tri Star Association''s head quarters tomorrow. The moment he leaves Huang city, is the moment we strike", Manager Xie said with a calm expression. "But you do know, that once Manager Zhou returns, things will get back in the same way", not many people were sure about attacking the stores. They might stop them temporarily, but they would surely get back again. "Also, we won''t be striking their stores. This time, we are going after the Rising Chaos sect directly. Once we take out the root, there won''t be anything we need to be afraid of", Manager Xie wanted to eliminate the sect entirely. When Manager Xie reached to Cheng Ran before making this meeting, after finding that they are going to attack the stores of Rising Chaos sect, Cheng Ran immediately asked him to attack the sect rather than the stores. Cheng Ran wants to utilize this situation and get his revenge on Wang Tian. He was desperately waiting for Manger Zhou to leave the city. Now that he got the chance, he can finally take action. Tian and Heng Fu have finally reached the sect. Heng Fu was really surprised by the bustling place. There were many people going in and out of the place, nearly all of them had the same colored robes, except for a limited few. All the ones he had seen were at least Body Refinement level and the highest cultivation level were at 7th Layer Blood Refinement realm. Although they were the weakest of cultivation realms, he never saw so many of them in one place. There were Hundreds of Blood refinement and Body Refinement realm cultivators in this place. By the time Tian and Heng Fu reached the main hall, all the six brothers have arrived there. When they realized that Heng Fu was a Advanced Earth Realm expert, but was still calling their young master as brother, they were really thrilled. Tian handed over some low grade spirit bombs that he made to deal with Earth Realm beasts to Number one. He wanted to use the low grade spirit bombs on the black robed expert, but he knew that he would have to pay a price for that. As one spirit bomb would not harm the expert, he would have to use many. But if he did that, he would also have to suffer from being in the field of effect of the bombs. Tian asked Heng Fu to excuse him for some time. Tian wanted to make Six Revolutions pill, but he didn''t have true fire. So he has to come up with a solution. Tian knew of a method to refine pills without the use of True fire. It was a formation technique that controlled fire, but using that technique will take a huge toll on his soul. Tian knew the risks, but he didn''t have any other choice. Number Three arranged all the materials required in his chamber. Tian started refining the Advanced Earth Realm beast core. All the berserk energies inside the beast core were going rampant in the refinement flames. It looked as if the flames themselves are a form of beast. With each round of refinement, the rumbling energy began to become more stable, but at the same time the quantity of energy was becoming high as well. Sweat kept pouring over Tian''s forehead, but he couldn''t divert his attention now. If there was any lack of concentration at this moment, the cauldron might just blow up. It took Tian a good 4 hours to complete the refinement of beast core. It has now become into liquid form from its initial crystallized form. Tian started to refine the other herbs and the process of pill refinement kept going. At the end of the process, the fires roared like a dragon and died out slowly. At the end, 10 perfectly round purple colored pills came out of the cauldron. Chapter 44: Little Fire? The Six Revolutions Pills were in glistering purple color, looking like purple colored pearls. Tian consumed a pill and started revolving his spirit qi inside his body. Large amounts of Spiritual Energy was being continuously being released by the pill and guided by Tian towards his blocked meridians, with each wave the meridian seemed like it was about to be opened. After sometime, Tian successfully opened his third meridian and his spiritual energy storage increased twice the amount. But still, Tian was not able to break through into Earth Realm. Tian continued to take the second, the third and then the fourth pill, and the process continued as he opened his fourth and fifth meridians, but the sixth meridian was not budging even after repeated attempts and Tian was not able to break through into Earth Realm. ''Am I destined to stay in Earth Realm?'', Tian was feeling awry after not breaking through, even though he consumed three Six Revolution Pills. He decided to try one last time and consumed three pills at once. The Energies inside the pills were too much for him to handle at once, he controlled the energies and made them flow like tides in a ocean and kept them barging onto the sixth meridian. It was like a tsunami inside his body, overflowing with spiritual energy. Just when he was losing control of the spiritual energies, the sixth meridian showed signs of opening. Like a glass mirror, the meridian''s blockage broke and all the spiritual energies gushed inside the sixth meridian. But even the sea of spiritual energy was not enough to fill 30% of the sixth meridian. Tian finally broke through into Earth Realm, but the moment he broke through, he felt like a sudden electric current was going down his body and his body went limp. All the spiritual energy, blood essence and soul energy in his body started to gather at the center of his body. He felt like his body was being sucked dry by a wormhole inside his body. Tian kept on absorbing spiritual energy from the surroundings to control the situation in his body, but the rate of absorption in his body was greater than what he could muster. Tian''s will as about to break down, but luckily the suction has stopped. Sweat was pouring down his body, he had never felt so exhausted his life. The mental stress made him fall asleep right where he was sitting. After a while, the unconscious Little White''s body that was lying at a corner of the room started to hover up in the air. A mystifying green blue fog was all around its body''s surroundings. The mystical blue fog started to get sucked into Little White''s forehead, it was like a whirlpool. After all the fog was sucked in, a red flame pattern formed on Little White''s head. When Little White opened its eyes, they were completely red and it felt as if it were a whole another person and glanced towards Tian''s body. Then it closed its eyes again and his body started to descend slowly onto the ground. No one was aware of the mysterious changes that Tian and Little White have gone through. Outside, Heng Fu was having tour around the sect. He was really impressed by the way the sect was set up. Heng Fu silently contemplated and finally came to a decision, he contacted Number One and Number Two, and he stated his desire to become a part of this sect. The two brothers were instantly thrilled by the news, having someone so strong as a part of the sect would definitely be a big boost to the sect''s power. But they wanted to ask Tian''s opinion on this, as Heng Fu was a friend of Tian, they didn''t want any misunderstandings with their young master.This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. A few hours passed by and Tian finally woke up, he felt like he had the greatest sleep he ever had in the recent days. Tian tried to notice the changes inside his body, as he was worried about the suction of energy that happened in his body. To his surprise, Tian found that a dantian has formed in his body and it was filled with the essence of Thunder energy. Al the meridians in his body were linked with his dantian. When he tried to cycle the spiritual energy in his body, he noticed that the speed has increased many fold. Tian has heard about some mysterious cultivators that possessed dantian. In his previous world, some of the top existences in God Monarch realm were said to possess dantian in their body. But he didn''t understand why had such a mysterious element, appeared inside his body. He tried to summon the thunder energy into his palm, streaks of electric arcs started crawling around his arm and gathered into his palm. It materialized into an energy ball filled with thunder energy and electrics arcs were swimming on its surface. He closed his hand and all the energy returned into his body. Just then, he noticed another presence inside his dantian, it was a wisp of Fire, it was in the shape of a tear drop. Being curious, Tian probed the fire with the thunder energy. The moment the thunder energy touched the fire, it jumped around like a bunny in panic and came out of the dantian on its own accord, it exited his body and went to hide behind the cauldron. Tian''s mind went blank. He went ahead and tried to grab the fire by its pointy head, to his surprise he was not able to feel any heat from it. The wisp of fire struggled in Tian''s hand, trying to escape. Tian flicked his finger at it and instantly the fire started crying tears of flames. The moment they hit the ground, it melted away the floor. Tian tried to calm it down by placing it in his palms and petted its head, it calmed down a little. It had the intelligence of child and Tian was sure that it was a true fire. While Tian was contemplating, why a true fire has ended up in his dantian and who was the one that placed it inside his body, the Little fire jumped down and gulped down a Six Revolutions pill. Tian was surprised by the sudden twist and grabbed the fire and stopped it from eating another pill. Tian thought that the fire would became berserk after consuming the pill, to his surprise it didn''t show any reaction. Except that it looked like it was going to start crying any moment again, not knowing what to do, Tian fed a second pill to it. While Tian was feeding the pill to the fire, Little White woke up rubbing its eyes. It was enraged to see that Tian was showing care to someone else other than him, it looked at the one last remaining pill and dashed towards it. Tian noticed Little White sprinting towards him, but it went past him grabbing onto the last pill and swallowed it. "Little White!!!! Spit it out!", Tian was worried that Little White would not be able to handle the huge spiritual energies inside it and tried to grab him. Little White dodged aside and mocked him with a smudge face. Little White showed no effects of spiritual outburst. Tian felt like he was stuck between two devourers that could even gobble the entire earth. Little fire went ahead to Little White and looked at it curiously. When Little White tried to touch him, it ran and hid behind Tian''s legs. Little White scratched his head and took out a spiritual herb from his mouth and offered it to Little fire. Little fire slowly approached the herb and gobbled it, it fell in love with its taste instantly and came out dancing around Little White. Little White also liked Little Fire and started playing with it by giving it the medical herbs placed inside boxes near the cauldron. Tian was stupefied, he face palmed and took off to sleep in the couch. Chapter 45: Crazy battle The next day Tian spoke with Heng Fu for a while, he informed Heng Fu that he would return after a days, as he needs to go home. Before leaving Number One has notified Tian of Heng Fu''s matter of joining the sect, Tian was not against it as he knew Heng Fu was someone who keeps his words and there was no issue with him joining the sect, so he agreed to it. After Tian left, the six brothers along with Heng Fu gathered for a meeting. Number Two got information from his networks that the Cheng Clan along with some other medium sized merchants are going to attack their sect. Number Two''s information network was something not to be trifled with. He has spread his network wide and deep in the Huang city, every single thing that occurs in the Huang city is under his radar, it basically is a underworld organization in itself. All the brothers were thinking on how to face off against the incoming wave. According to the information they received, all the experts that are participating in the attack are Energy Advancement realm and below. They were confident that they could completely wipe out the enemy forces, they started to gather all the inner sect disciples and informed of the matter. Heng Fu decided to stay idle in tomorrow''s battle, he would only make his move if there was someone above Energy Advancement Realm in the enemy forces. Number Six and his disciples were tasked with making spirit recovery potions and strengthening potions, while Number Three was laying formations all across the sect. Number Two also kept tabs on the spies in the outer sect, it was the right time to get rid of them. The atmosphere inside the Rising Chaos Sect was getting intensified. Even Little White''s instincts sensed that something bad is about to happen, it then ran off into the forest near the sect. The next day, Cheng clan and merchants forces have arrived near Rising Chaos Sect and have prepared for an ambush. Everyone inside the sect acted how they do everyday, but on the inside they were alert and were waiting for the enemy forces to make their move. Suddenly, the warriors from Cheng clan made their move, followed by all the other warriors on their side. There were many Body Refinement and Blood Refinement experts, led by a few Energy Advancement realm experts. They were looking at the disciples as if a predator looking at its prey. Boooommmmm!!!!! The attacks started, but the ones who got injured were not from the sect, instead they were the opposing forces. The disciples instantly launched their attacks on them. The spies tried to harm the disciples of the sect, but before they could do that, a spirit pulse radiated from their tokens and they were immediately immobilized. The enemies were in a complete disarray, "Keep attacking!!! They won''t last long, our numbers are higher than theirs. We will win! Attack!!!", the Energy Refinement experts kept encouraging their subordinates. Their forces contained 1700 odd members, while the Rising Chaos Sect had only 400 odd disciples. Just when they thought that things will work out, many of their experts released sudden cries. They enemy forces have stepped on some array formations and they got activated. These were setup by Number Three, all the disciples knew where the formations were laid down. They lured the enemies to the locations and then activated the formations.Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. Tens of experts were defeated by each formation, Some were burnt crisp by flames, while some were struck down by electric current, many even got stuck in earth trap formations. It was a scene to see, hundreds of enemies were down in an instant. Then Energy Advancement realm experts finally decided to make their move. They dived in to attack the disciples, but were stopped by the six brothers. They faced off against the Energy Advancement experts, but were outnumbered. The enemy forces had 13 Energy Refinement Realm experts, while they were only 6. They were battle formations and defending themselves. As the battle went on, the enemy forces were slowly gaining hand over the sect. Many disciples were slowly getting defeated by them, Number Two was suffering from the battle and was not sure if he could endure any longer. Manager Xie and the others were grinning, as they saw the helpless situation of Rising Chaos Sect. Victory was within their grasps. One of the experts from Cheng Clan, noticed that the ground suddenly started to shake as if an earth quake was coming. Everyone started to hear sounds of marching. The six brothers and all the disciples felt their heart beats drop, Heng Fu was about make his move and save the sect in case things get worse. Dust rose in air, as the marching sounds from the forest kept nearing. The sect disciples and the enemy forces were looking towards the forest, no one knew what was going on. As the dust began to clear, they saw something that made a chill go down their spine. It was a mini beast tide, there were hundreds of beasts marching towards the battle. Everyone concentrated on the beasts and were getting ready to attack them. The moment those beasts neared the battle, they started attacking fiercely and went on a rampage. But the shock to everyone was that the beasts were not attacking the Rising Chaos Sect disciples at all. Everyone was dumbfounded, even the disciples and the six brothers didn''t understand what was going on. Then they saw a monkey riding on a flying pig that was spewing out flames like a flame thrower at the enemy forces, It was Little White! Finally everyone understood the situation, the supposed beast tide was under the control of Little White, almost all the disciples have seen Little White in the sect during its fights with Number Six and knew that it was a part of the sect. Some of the strong beasts in Energy Advancement Realm started aiding the six brothers. With the sudden addition of beasts, the tides began to turn against the Cheng Clan. The hidden experts of Cheng Clan finally decided to make their move. Three Earth Realm experts came out and directly launched attacks on the beast tide. It was Cheng Ran and his aides. He came here in order to find and kill Wang Tian, he knew that if he captured the six brothers, then he would definitely show up. He was having fun, watching the sect crumble under the might of Cheng Clan and alliance''s warriors. But the sudden explosions of formations and then the beast tide made him surprised. He wanted to end this quickly, so he decided to move into the battle field. No one was able to block the sudden attacks of Earth Realm experts, Heng Fu immediately dashed towards the Earth Realm experts and Little White also steered Piggy to dash towards them. The deciding fight of this battle was about to begin. Chapter 46: Come to daddy! Cheng Ran and his two subordinates faced off against Heng Fu and Little White. Heng Fu was having his hands full, dealing with two experts by himself. Little White kept flying on Piggy''s back and was being chased by another expert. The expert chasing Little White was getting annoyed by it, he was not yet in Sky Realm so he was not able to fly, but Little White was flying on Piggy and it was hard for him to land any attacks on them. He kept releasing energy attacks but they were easily dodged by piggy. Piggy flew dived towards the expert and released fire breathe like a dragon, he used energy shield to defend it but his entire vision was filled by fire. The moment his vision cleared, he saw piggy and instantly launched attacks again. By the time he noticed that Little White was not on piggy''s back, he felt an intense pain travelling down his body. Little White hid itself on the ground during the fire attack and when the experts full attention was on piggy, it launched a full powered kick on his crotch. Even though Earth Realm experts have very resilient body, that part was sensitive no matter what. The attack delivered so much pain to the expert that he instantly lost his consciousness and collapsed on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth. Little White gave a proud look glancing at the expert who''s body was twitching in pain unconsciously. The moment everyone saw that attack, a shiver went down their spine, they unconsciously covered their crotch with their hands. Even Heng Fu felt a chill when he looked at the collapsed man. Xian Li was feeling awkward looking at the scene and turned her head away as her face turned red. Little White joined Heng Fu to face off against Cheng Ran and the other expert. The tides turned once more and Manager Xie was feeling very anxious. If they failed at this stage, he would be utterly devastated. Manager Xie acted on his own for this battle and didn''t inform to the higher ups in the clan, if he loses this battle it could potentially risk his position. The six brothers were also faring well and gaining upper hand over the enemies, with the beasts attacking them continuously the Cheng Clan members were facing defeat. Cheng Ran gritted his teeth, Heng Fu was advanced Earth Realm expert and Little White was primary Earth Realm expert. With both their strengths, they were able to completely defend Cheng Ran and other expert''s attacks, they were on the winning side of the battle. Cheng Ran decided to flee from the battle, he pushed the other expert towards Heng Fu and sprinted as fast as he can. The others were surprised by Cheng Ran''s sudden move, the expert eventually got defeated under Heng Fu and Little White''s attacks. The battle finally came to an end, the six brothers went ahead and captured the merchants who initiated this attack. Manager Xie was able to successfully able to escape using artifacts he possessed. The position of Rising Chaos sect instantly spiked up in the minds of those powers residing in Huang City. With the outside threat defeated and the spies in the sect cleaned out, their momentum got increased even more. Number Two organized all the disciples and cleared out the battle field, there were no casualties from the sect. With the potions prepared by Number Six and his disciples, they were able to recover immediately in the battle and didn''t sustain any large injuries. The gains for the sect this time were immense, they took over the medium sized merchant stores and forced a contract with their owners. Although they were defeated, they were not in such a bad mood as the contract that the Rising Chaos sect proposed will give them some benefits as well.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. The beasts started to retreat into the part of forest near the sect. Everyone was curious about those beasts and how Little White got them under its wings. Piggy and Little White stayed back in the sect. When Number Six saw piggy, he immediately ran towards it with a huge smile and wide arms. "Stay away! you demon!", Piggy dodged him by flying into air and released fire breath on his butts, Number Six jumped around and rubbed his butts against a pillar to extinguish the fire. The other brothers and Heng Fu were completely surprised by this. Never in their lives have they seen a talking pig, also it looked at Number Six as if a wife looking at a cheating husband and Number Six was trying to get close to Piggy, "Brother Six, do you know this pig-....Beast expert?" Piggy was having huge wings, sharp horns and had an object stuck between its eyebrows. Number Four was in a deep thought, ''I have seen this object somewhere....but I don''t remember where....'' Number Six patted dust off his robes and walked in a proud demeanour towards them, "This Piggy is my creation!", he waved his hands in a showy manner like a magician, trying to show off. "Creation your mom!", Piggy spewed another load of flames at Number Six "Aww Aww Aww Aww Awwww.......Let me explain, you damn pig!", Number Six was getting irritated when his show was getting disturbed. "Hmph....", Piggy finally ignored him and flew onto a couch where Little White was sitting. "I wanted to create a potion that can instantly make anyone slim. I started researching and came up with some formulas. When i saw the poor piggy that was suffering from his fat body, i wanted to help him", Number Six turned towards Piggy, but when he saw its angry gaze he gulped his saliva and looked away instantly. "S- So, I sta- started to make potions and made piggy drink them" "Did the potions work?", Number three asked in a dumb manner. Number Six instantly gave a death stare to Number Three, ''can''t you see that the pig is fat as an elephant?! Damn brother three, either you are blind or you are pulling my leg'' Number Six cleared his throat and said in an awkward tone, "Well....the potion did work, but it didn''t make it slim. Instead it gave him wings, horns, fire breath and some other mysterious things that i still need to research. He is a proud creation of mine", Number Six turned to Piggy and spread his arms wide, "Come to daddy!" Piggy instantly went berserk, "Who the F*** is my daddy!", he went ahead and started spewing fire on him. Number Six escaped and fled outside while being chased by Piggy. All the people inside the room looked at one another in a awkward manner, all their minds had a single thought, ''No wonder the piggy wants to roast him, the moment he comes into its sight'' "Now I remember!", Number Four jumped up with excitement and looked in the direction on Number Six and Piggy, "The Object on its forehead is a spirit tool I made, it is used for telepathic communication, I thought it was a failure and threw it in a corner of my lab. But how did Piggy get it''s hands on it?". Little White instantly turned its head away and started eating the fruit in its hand with a awkward feeling. Chapter 47: Left out When Tian heard about this the next day, he was completely amazed with the extent of growth of the Sect''s capabilities and the six brothers'' management. But on the other hand, his hatred towards Cheng Clan increased even more, it became a blood grudge to him. The Entrance Examination for the Academies was about to begin in a few days, head master buck wing has already enrolled his name for the examinations. There was no minimum requirement for entering the examination, as they were sure that most of them would drop off like dead leaves once the test begins. This was also a good way for the academies to find one''s who have great potential to grow. The tests are always random each year, no one knows what the tests are going to be. This year, the test was being conducted in one of the top cities in the world, The Twilight City. The journey from Huang city to Twilight city would take around one day. No artefacts, tools or pills and potions were allowed for the test, as they wanted to make sure that everyone stands on the same level during the test, irrespective of their back grounds. This point alone shows that the Academies want to select true geniuses that can soar high even without any help. When Heng Fu heard that Tian was participating in the entrance test for the Academies, he immediately left Huang City after intimating the six brothers that he will be gone for a few days. Tian received the travel information to Twilight city from Head Master Buck Wing. The next day, Tian reassured Grandma Wang that he''ll be safe and set off to the boarding point. A flying shuttle that was as large as a football field appeared. Tian boarded it along with others. The Flying Shuttles were one of the largest transport systems of this world. These look like flying castles and every single facility was provided inside it. For those that come from poor background, this was a sight worth seeing. There were many people already inside the shuttle, they were looking at those from Huang city with disdain. Tian even felt hostility from those people. It was every man for himself, to overcome the pressure from the entrance test, they started to form groups among themselves. Many people started knocking Tian''s door, asking him to join their group. Tian was getting frustrated with all these guys disturbing him. Once again someone knocked on his door, he took his pillow in his hands and walked towards the door like a sloth. "Treat is as your lucky day, if you were to join with us, we could help you clear the Test and you may even get the chance to enter the top 20 colleges. Don''t waste our time and just agree to it", the young man was wearing fashionable clothes and some of the most costly gadgets on himself. He has heard of Tian as he had topped his college ranking battles, he thought it would be a good deal to have a pawn at his disposal. Tian was holding his pillow under his arms, he was fed up with all these people, "Stop annoying me and get the hell out, you are disturbing my precious sleep!", he slammed the door and took off directly to sleep. This time, he made sure to use ear plugs, no matter who calls him he wouldn''t wake up again. Time went on as Tian slept ultra-comfortably in his bed, without caring about anything. One of the Shuttle''s crew member tried to open the door to Tian''s room, when he realized that it was locked, he inserted the master key and unlocked it. The moment he saw someone was lying on the bed, he was surprised and went ahead to wake him up. "Hey kid! Who are you? Hey! Wake up!", the crew member kept shaking Tian and tried to wake him up. Tian finally woke up, when he saw the crew member in his room he immediately asked in surprise, "What are you doing in my room? How the hell did you get in?"The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. "What do you mean your room? Ar- Are you one of those kids who are attending the Entrance Test?!!!", the crew member''s face instantly went pale. Tian didn''t understand what was happening, "Yes, is there any problem with that?" "You dumb idiot! How could you be sleeping inside your room? We have already dropped off all the attendees 4 hours ago and are returning to the camp!", Tian was shocked to hear that he was left behind. He immediately rushed outside the room. "Hey Kid, where are you going!!!", he chased after tian to the outside of shuttle. Tian stepped outside the shuttle and looked at the vast expanse of forest all around him, he wasn''t sure which direction he should head out to. "In which direction is the Twilight city?", Tian looked back towards the crew member and asked in a solemn tone. "It''s toward the North-West. But listen to me kid! You won''t be able to make it in time and also, this forest has many dangerously powerful beasts. Even we dare not stop anywhere in the forest, listen to me and come bac-...." The crew member was looking towards the forest and talking to Tian, by the time he turned back, Tian had completely vanished from that place, "Captain...!!!!!!" Down on the forest floor, Tian has safely landed there by blasting a energy wave at the ground and pushing himself up just when he was about to hit the ground. He looked towards the North-West and started dashing towards the twilight city. The Entrance Test will start on tomorrow afternoon, Tian needs to travel back to Twilight city in one day. On his way, Tian has faced many Earth Realm beasts and was able to defeat them easily. After travelling for a few hours, Tian came across a wild baby pig beast, although it was a baby it''s powers were comparable to that of a primary earth realm beast. It started attacking Tian the moment it saw him, Tian didn''t want to waste his time and kicked the pig by materializing his spiritual energy. The pig went flying into the air like a rocket, off into some part of the forest. As it was evening, Tian decided to take a rest for the night and travel again in the morning. He made a campfire and started roasting the beef jerky he had with him, just then he heard some loud noise from the forest. Something was coming in his direction. Tian quickly got alerted and got ready to face off against the unknown danger coming towards him. When the noises got close, he saw a huge pig beast with tusks as large as few meters and thick like a log. It was the parent of the baby pig beast he kicked away and it was something in Advanced Sky Realm! Tian immediately started retreating, but he was not able to compare to its speed. He gritted his teeth and took out low grade spirit bombs he made and threw them at the incoming beast. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!... Loud blasting sounds echoed through the forest, Tian used the Titan shield to protect himself but it was barely able to withstand the blast force. He had to keep injecting his spiritual energy into it. The smoke began to clear, Tian was expecting this to be the end of battle. But to his surprise, the pig beast was not injured at all, the spirit bombs just gave slight scratch marks on its thick skin surface. The pig beast immediately gathered its spirit energy into its mouth, Tian felt a chill down his spine, and things are definitely not going the right way. The pig beast launched the energy beam with a wide radius towards Tian. He might not be able to escape today. pewwwwww.... The Energy beam attack disintegrated everything, the trees the ground even rocks, to a length of 300 meters. There was no sign of Tian anywhere. Chapter 48: Twilight City The beast looked all around but was not able to feel any presence of Tian, it kept searching for him but sensing that there were no signs of him, it left the area. Anyone above Energy Advancement realm could feel the power level of those in the same realm and those below their realms. When the beast tried to search for Tian, it didn''t feel any Earth Realm aura in the surroundings, so it assumed that Tian got disintegrated with its attack. The forest turned silent, no other beast dares to come near this place after they heard the blasts from a sky realm beast. In the silent forest, a hand suddenly popped out of the ground. Like a zombie crawling out of its grave, Tian came out from the ground. Just before the blast hit him, Tian escaped by performing his foot step technique and then dug straight into the ground. Tian was a unique cultivator, as he was someone who cultivates using his meridians and because of that he was able to lock his aura by sealing his meridians temporarily. His entire body was covered with dirt, ''puh puh.....that damn pig! I''ll roast you the next time I see you'', he cleaned himself and took out a recovery potion to heal himself. He didn''t stop this time and kept travelling towards Twilight city without a break. He made sure to hide his aura and presence to not get into any trouble again. On his journey, he saw a huge bird that looked like a phoenix brawling with a demonic python. He was not able to fathom their cultivation levels, every single move of theirs was enough to crush mountains into dust. He finally understood why this forest was labelled as one of the most dangerous places to venture, even someone in Spirit Master Realm will have trouble surviving in this forest. Tian considered himself to be lucky, as he didn''t face any beasts on his way and was able to reach the city safely by the next day. When he reached the city, all he could see were the massive and marvellous city walls. He was not able to find any way to enter the city, there wasn''t even a small gap for a mosquito to enter. He''ll not be able to break the walls even if he used his full powers. A guard stood atop the city walls, monitoring the perimeter and saw someone coming out of the forest. At first, he thought it was a beast but looking through his monitoring screen he found that it was a human and a kid at that. Never in his life did he imagine anyone coming out of that dangerous forest, ''This kid is not normal''. He decided to reach him and instantly took his hover board and jumped down the massive wall. When Tian noticed that someone was coming towards him from the top of the wall, he moved a few steps back. The guard landed on the ground and got off the hover board, "Sir, may I know who you are and what you are doing here?" Tian took out his id and passed it to the guard, Tian was really surprised to find an Advanced Earth realm expert was kept as a guard in this city. If it was in Huang city, he could easily become an elder in the top clans there. After verifying his ID, the guard was really surprised to find that Tian was a student attending the Academy Entrance Test. When Tian told how he was left out while he was sleeping and how he had to travel from the middle of forest to the city, the guard felt shock upon shock.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. He had never in his damn life seen a person sleep when he''s travelling to his Academy test and how in the hell did this kid survived the dangerous forest was another thing to think about. He finally decided to let him into the city and took him on his hover board to the other side of city walls. The walls were as high as 100m tall and wide enough for two buses to travel side-by-side, the view of the city from the top of the walls made Tian amazed. It was a massive city with towering buildings and flying shuttles and hover cars flying all around the city. He even saw many sky realm experts flying from one place to another. Tian bid farewell to the guard after getting off the wall and headed towards the Test centre. The city was filled with many people that were either attending the Test or came here to watch the process and find out the candidates that will make through it. After reaching the Test centre, Tian registered himself and took off to the arena. The instructions for the test would be provided once everyone reaches there. The test was going to start in few more hours, so everyone started to gather in the arena. Tian sensed a murderous aura locking onto him, he turned around and saw Cheng Lu staring at him with a vicious gaze. Cheng Lu has already broken through into Primary Earth Realm, looks like the Cheng Clan didn''t spare any resources to help in his breakthrough. After a while, a massive projection of an elder appeared. The elder had red hair, smiling with his teeth wide and with a body like that of a machoism, "Hahaha.....Looks like there are a lot of participants this time. Well we''ll just have to cut the numbers by chopping at them. Hehehe...So lets get started kids!" Suddenly the floor they were on started shacking violently, the entire floor began to float and started flying up into the air. Below the floor was actually a large flying drone that lifted the entire floor, thousands of students tried to control themselves as they were tumbling on the drone. Some of them who were near the edges started to fall off the drone, they were about to fall to their deaths on the ground below then suddenly a shield covered their entire bodies and protected them from any harm. "Why does it have to be him! Were the elders of Military Academy out of their mind? Don''t they remember how Dong Jun conducted his test 4 years ago? If this goes on, there wouldn''t even be 10% of the students left after the qualifying test!" The top three academies took turns while conducting the Entrance tests, each time an elder from those academies will be conducting and overseeing the test. Dong Jun, an elder from Military Academy had a very bad reputation for conducting the tests in the most horrifying ways. Most of the students who have gone through his tests are traumatized for their entire lives. "We can''t help it. Elder Juan Ru who was supposed to take over the test had to seclude herself because of the sudden enlightenment and is on the verge of breaking through to become a Spiritual Adept and the other elders are busy with their own work, so they had to send Elder Dong Jun" "Sigh...I pity these poor kids. They''ll have to experience hell if they want to overcome the elder''s tests", they sighed and looked towards the drone that was carrying the students outside the city.
