"Well done!"
"Congratulations!"
Zhang Xinya and Xuanyuan Ling's voices were heard at once, breaking through the faint bitter thoughts that were beginning to rise in Yang Jing.
"Thank you!"
Yang Jing thanked both women, then focusing her gaze on Xuanyuan Ling. If it wasn't for her helping to clear her doubts and learn more essential information for this first step, Yang Jing knew that it might take much longer, even take a whole day.
"Although you have not entered the First Stage of Chi Gathering yet, you are half a step closer to officially entering."
Ling Tian's words again attracted Yang Jing's attention, paying attention with utmost seriousness.
"I still haven't entered the First Stage of the Chi Gathering realm?" Yang Jing was stunned, she couldn't help but wonder if what she had felt just moments ago was just an illusion.
"Yes and no..." Ling Tian shook his head and explained, "You have a special physique, but it is sealed, in a nutshell. Therefore, a natural treasure of heaven and earth is necessary for you to release your body and perceive the spiritual aura, which is what you did just now. But still, even though you have not yet entered the first stage, your body is already much stronger than before!"
Ling Tian could not help but feel a little envious of these people who were born with special physiques. There are various special physiques, strong and very powerful, great unique bodies that even before they start cultivating they already have extraordinary strength, and it would increase by far once they started cultivating.
Such is the case with Yang Jing, she has a special first level physique, a bit problematic because she needs certain treasures but very powerful. Sometimes, the more complicated and troublesome a special physique presents, the more extraordinary the power within it will be.
"I see..."
Yang Jing nodded at his words, in fact, she felt boundless energy in her body, as if she could run long distance and spend a few days without sleep!
But quickly Yang Jing's expression was stunned, becoming dumbfounded before a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face as she looked at her body. Her body was covered with dirt and dust of a very dark color.
Impurities from her body had surfaced!
A somewhat nasty smell permeated the air, making Yang Jing feel even more ashamed as she realized what was going on.
"Go take a bath, I'll wait for you here to give you further instructions." Ling Tian waved his hand casually, signaling Yang Jing not to worry.
Without thinking, Yang Jing's figure ran like an arrow to behind the rustic house, disappearing before the sight of the others.
"Grandmaster, do you have some plans in mind? If you need help, Ling'er can help you!"
After watching Yang Jing run, Xuanyuan Ling looked at Ling Tian and she asked with a soft expectant smile.
Ling Tian looked at Xuanyuan Ling and couldn't help but wonder, 'She's a little different from her usual demeanor... she's kind of lively and speaks a little more directly... could something have happened to Ling'er?'
Xuanyuan Ling's gaze even seemed to glow a little brighter, adding a slightly different charm, a little more youthful and cheerful as opposed to her quieter and more reserved personality.
Zhang Xinya's charming eyes looked at Xuanyuan Ling for a moment and then she looked at Ling Tian, smirking slightly at him, flashing him a strange smile that seemed to see right through him.
Zhang Xinya also waved her hand as a trace of warm aura emerged from her sexy body, melting the small traces of ice that appeared on the floor, the small table and the chair where she and Xuanyuan Ling were.
"There are several matters I need to attend to, but for now they are not so urgent..." Ling Tian said.
The matter of creating the pills and formations was already set, Mu Shuiruo and Tang Wanying were taking care of that with his disciples, so it would only be a matter of time until they were all finished and the heavenly pill he needed was also made once all the materials were collected.
Ling Tian looked at the snowflake in his hand. The matter with Yang Jing was already done as well, with just this Frosty Heart Snow would help Yang Jing quickly reach the peak of the chi gathering realm; the power within it is not weak at all, enough to support her cultivation for quite a while.
"Master!"
"Here you are, Master!"
Two childish female voices full of joy quickly arrived, with two small and charming figures flying towards Ling Tian in an instant.
Ling Tian smiled at the sight of Qing Sha and Lan Yin running up to him and taking his arms, hugging him with big bright smiles. The little white fox also jumped towards Ling Tian's shoulder.
"Master, that cold aura, is it from that girl Yang?"
Two more figures appeared instantly, causing Ling Tian to turn to look at one of them when she asked.
"Yes, she was able to release the cultivation in her body, so now she will be able to cultivate!" Ling Tian nodded, smiling at Zhen Bingluo.
Zhen Bingluo and Ying Chen had appeared as well!
Once they felt the faint burst of spiritual aura that contained a fierce cold energy, Zhen Bingluo and the others stopped what they were doing and wanted to investigate who had caused such a movement. Although this energy barely touched the early stages of the chi gathering realm, it was still powerful.
But once they realized that this cold aura came from Xuanyuan Ling's Peak, and sensed Ling Tian and Zhang Xinya's auras as well, Zhen Bingluo and Ying Chen were the ones who finally came to see if Ling Tian needed anything. If something unexpected came up, they would let the other brothers know.
Zhen Bingluo walked elegantly and calmly, sitting near Zhang Xinya and Xuanyuan Ling, smiling expectantly as she met Yang Jing's faint but cold aura.
"Then if there is nothing urgent I will retire, Master."
Noting that his sister was going to stay, Ying Chen decided to return to his business.
"Wait."
"Do you need something, Master?"
Ling Tian suddenly called out to him, causing Ying Chen to stop and look at him, waiting for what Ling Tian would say. Zhen Bingluo, Zhang Xinya and Xuanyuan Ling also looked at Ling Tian.
"I will start cultivating a different technique, but it is somewhat dangerous, so I will need some of your help to protect myself..." Ling Tian looked at Ying Chen and then at Zhang Xinya, Zhen Bingluo and Xuanyuan Ling.
The taboo cultivation technique still couldn't be cultivated since it was the main technique, and Ling Tian needs to have his body at its peak, repair the meridians and dantian. Therefore, he would start with the other three divine level techniques, especially The Forging Method of the Extraordinary Supreme Body, which would bring out all the hidden potential of his body and take it beyond its peak even with the meridians and dantian shattered.
The refining technique, The Construction Technique of the Everlasting Ultimate Body, is a better body refining technique than the refining technique he currently uses given by Linqi, so it would also be of vital importance to enter the Nirvana State and create the True Immortal Body.
The other technique, The Heaven and Earth Essence Refining Method, as well as the taboo cultivation technique, The Primordial Inner Chi Origin Realm, are not necessary for the time being, and their true role would be at the time of repairing his meridians and forging his cultivation base again.
Although Ling Tian was confident that there shouldn't be any problems in the main steps, he still needed to make sure.
"Then I'll let my brothers know to get ready!"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Ying Chen quickly understood and nodded with utmost seriousness. The look on his Master's face was also serious, which meant that the matter was not to be taken lightly.
After all, it was about the cultivation and fate of Ling Tian, their Master.
"It's okay! You don't need to stress so much! With you and Little Bingluo here, there are already four of you in total, so that's more than enough!"
Ling Tian shook his head as he smiled upon seeing Ying Chen's expression, this disciple still one of the most serious since his childhood, "You can continue doing what you were doing a few moments ago. I will help Yinyin break through and after the tribulation I will make preparations!"
Still, Ying Chen nodded earnestly and left, giving Zhen Bingluo one last look that she would contact him instantly of anything that happened.
"Master, will you help me to break through?"
Lan Yin, who had been holding one of Ling Tian's arms in her embrace since she arrived, said with excitement and joy. Qing Sha, keeping Ling Tian's other arm embraced with her tender body, also showed an expectant expression.
"Your cultivation essence has reached its limit, so it's time." Ling Tian nodded affectionately.
"Master, Shasha feels that she will soon reach the next stage as well!" Qing Sha added with a smile at once.
Ling Tian nodded with a small laugh, seeing that Qing Sha did not want to lag behind in terms of cultivation and power. Qing Sha's cultivation was at the separation and reunion realm middle stage, and the aura in her body and cultivation essence strength were beginning to show small signs of advancement, before long reaching the late stage.
Lan Yin and Qing Sha grinned excitedly, chanting and happily moving their little bodies, but without letting go of Ling Tian's hands, having fun around him.
After an indeterminate amount of time, an attractive figure attracted the attention of everyone in the place as she walked towards them.
"Wow! She looks very pretty!"
"Master, she is also pretty like the big sisters!"
Yang Jing appeared, revealing a white robe that seemed to have snowflake designs on the surface, somehow combining with that cold and ethereal aura Yang Jing exuded. Her skin became brighter, her body beginning to show an ethereal youthful beauty with charm and a slight touch of elegance, making this young girl who was just over 15 years old look like a water lotus slowly beginning to bloom, exuding beauty and serenity.
The clothes had been given to her by Xuanyuan Ling, leaving them ready for her by knowing what would happen once Yang Jing managed to cultivate.
"Yes, she is pretty..."
Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile at Qing Sha and Lan Yin's comments, blushing Yang Jing's cheeks slightly when she heard him. But at once, Ling Tian stroked the little heads of both girls more affectionately and said, "But to me you two are the prettiest and cutest girls in the world!"
"Hehe!"
"Really, Master?"
Lan Yin and Qing Sha smiled full of joy and they looked at Ling Tian, their expressions full of joy, expectation and traces of shyness. Both girls did not hesitate to cling closer to Ling Tian's body, hugging him while holding innocent, very joyful expressions.
Ling Tian laughed softly, seeing the happy expressions of both girls, he would do anything to make these two girls very happy. Their childhoods and origins were tragic and sad, so Ling Tian would never let Lan Yin and Qing Sha feel sad or full of sorrow again.
Xuebai, the little white fox, who had jumped onto Ling Tian's shoulder stood there without moving. Her fluffy tail wagged gently, while her eyes looked at Ling Tian and then at Lan Yin and Qing Sha.
"Let's go! We'll go behind our Sect Peak to let Yinyin break through!"
Taking out the flying sword, Ling Tian placed it in front and made it large. Both Lan Yin and Qing Sha did not hesitate and climbed up with Ling Tian even though both girls could fly by themselves. Xuebai stood on Ling Tian's shoulder unwilling to get off.
Zhang Xinya, Zhen Bingluo and Xuanyuan Ling took out their flying swords as well, climbing on them respectively.
Yang Jing did not have a flying sword yet, much less could she fly, but Xuanyuan Ling made her flying sword bigger for her to climb up when she noticed Ling Tian's look to let Yang Jing come as well.
Flying over and past several mountains and sect places, Ling Tian and the others arrived at a spacious place passing several hundred meters behind the peak that his disciples had left for him to live with his wives. A huge lake descending from a gigantic waterfall seemed to spread out and mysteriously connect to a river that crossed part of the sect and continued to stretch out to the sea in the distance, with lush and countless trees and plants in the surrounding area as well.
Lan Yin got ready and sat in the center, apart from the others. The expression on her little face became serious and she nodded to Ling Tian.
Lan Yin's cultivation essence began to surge, flowing and reaching its peak, trying to break through.
Soon after, several lightning flashes crossed the sky and eventually the first arc of nine lightning bolts fell from the sky heading towards Lan Yin.
