For the next few days, Shi Tian was focusing on cultivation. His cultivation was rising very fast, advancing a small realm in less than a week. It was then that he didn't use any spiritual elixir or pill.
As the cultivation increases, it becomes harder to advance. He was able to raise his level by one small realm in the spirit lord realm stage in less than a week, which was already very fast compared to the others. Even many top-class geniuses wouldn't have this speed.
"System Sign in!"
[Ding: Signing-in, congratulations to the host for obtaining Black Dragon Armor.]
"Huh, I got a defensive artifact this time. And it is Low-Grade Heaven Rank Armor." Shi Tian was delighted to see the reward. It can block the attacks of Spirit King Realm cultivators. Other than cultivating, Shi Tian didn't forget to tease Li Yingxi, sneaking into the palace, and sparring with her.
Shi Tian came to the back mountains, and there was a person waiting for him.
"So, how was it? Have you recovered your cultivation?" Shi Tian looked at the middle-aged man and asked. It was one other than Ye Guoliang. At this time, he didn't look sick or weak. There was a strong aura radiating from him, no sign of weakness could be seen on his face, and he looked strong.
"Yes, young master. I am extremely grateful to you for bestowing me such miraculous pills." Ye Guoliang looked at Shi Tian with awe and gratitude. He was a little doubtful whether the pill could restore his dantian, so he could start cultivating again; however, the result shocked him, not only did it repair his dantian, but it also restored his cultivation to the Spirit King Realm.
At first, he was willing to follow him because of the pill, but now he felt there might be a big opportunity here. By following Shi Tian, he might have a chance to surpass his previous self and reach bigger heights.
"It's okay!" Shi Tian waved his hand and said.
"Young Master, I am ready to serve you. Please give me the instructions." Ye Guoliang cupped his hands and said.
"I have no task for you currently, you can continue to stay in the Red Cloud City, I will call you if I need you. By the way, while you are staying in the city, you can look after the orphanage in the west of the city." Shi Tian said.
"Yes, young master!" Ye Guoliang nodded.
After that, Shi Tian returned home and started cultivating again.
In the night, he once again sneaked into the palace, arriving back garden of a mansion quietly.
In the dim light of the moon, there was a figure sitting on the grass in the middle of the garden, meditating with closed eyes. It was a woman with an outstanding appearance.
Shi Tian didn't walk over immediately, observed her from some distance. She was wearing a nightgown, every curve of her body was distinctively visible.
It was no doubt that Li Yinzi had a figure. She exercised daily, practicing martial arts, so her body didn't have fat. But her body was not muscular either. It was just perfect, smooth yet a bit firm.
Shi Tian had touched her body a few times during the previous spare matches, he liked the feeling of it.
He concealed his breath and sneaked behind her, coming close to her. Standing behind her, he leaned in to smell her fragrance.
However, just as he was a few inches away from her, her eyes opened suddenly.
"So you are here again." Li Yinzi murmured softly. However, she didn't make any movement, just sitting there quietly.
"Hmm, you are quite calm today, what happened?" Shi Tian was surprised by the calm look of her.
"I know I can't beat you, so what is the point of throwing a tantrum, I will not satisfy your perverted urge today." Li Yinzi spoke as she reached out to grab the spear that was standing on the ground straight beside her.
"I know you like to see me struggling and frustrated expression against you, don't you?" Li Yinzi stood up while holding her spear in her hand and turned around to look at Shi Tian who was in a disguised appearance.
"I am not some toy that you can play for fun." There was a short distance between them, but she didn't back down and looked at him, staring into his eyes.
After meeting him a few times, she realized that he liked teasing her, it amused him. She can tolerate him because although he was a little pervert, he never crossed her bottom line.
Shi Tian stared directly into her beautiful eyes, which were stained with sternness mixed with anger. 'Looks like her mood is not good today.'
"Well, you are right, I do like teasing you. However, I also like sparing with you, as I don't have a sparing partner. I couldn't find a better spear expert in the red cloud city other than you." Shi Tian nodded and said while restraining his frivolous expression.
"By the way, how did sense me just now?"
"Based on feelings." Li Yinzi replied slowly.
"Interesting!" Shi Tian whispered faintly.
"Didn't you say you are for spare, let's do it." Li Yinzi said as she took a few steps back, taking a fighting stance.
"Do want to make a bet on how many rounds you can hold on today." Shi Tian asked with a faint smile.
"No!" Li Yinzi refused immediately.
"You seem pissed off today, what happened?" Shi Tian couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It doesn't concern you." Li Yinzi refused to answer his question. And said, "Let's spare now!"
"Okay!"
Next, both of them charged at each other, and their spears collided, releasing sparks.
"You are gaining speed, not bad." Shi Tian comments after exchanging a few rounds with her. He could tell that her attacking speed had increased compared to the past.
"Still not enough!" Li Yinzi commented back. Although she was making big progress in her spear art, she felt that there was still a gap between them.
After sparing for two hours straight, they finally stopped.
Li Yinzi looked at him and seemingly hesitated for a few moments, finally building up courage and asking, "There is something I want to ask you."
"Huh, what is it?"
"Is there a way to advance to the Spirit King Realm?" Li Yinzi took a deep breath and said.
"Quick way to reach Spirit King Realm?" Shi Tian listened to her and pondered for a moment.
"You knew if you raise your cultivation too fast relying on external objects, it will ruin your foundation and limit your future cultivation path." Shi Tian looked at her and said.
"Yes, I am aware of it. I am willing to take a risk." Li Yinzi nodded.
"If there is something troubling you, I can lend you a hand."
"No, I don't need your favor." Li Yinzi shook her head. "This is something, I have to rely on myself."
"You said quickly, just how quickly is that?" He asked curiously.
"Less than three months." Li Yinzi replied, not feeling confident herself. She knew that it was an absurd idea.
"Huh, three months, I thought you were going to say three days. If it is three months, perhaps there is way." Shi Tian nodded, feeling a little relief.
"Really!" Li Yinzi's eyes flashed with some happiness.
However, she soon suppressed her excitement, looked at him, and asked, she knew it would not be easy to become Spirit King Realm master.
"Are you sure you can afford it? Just a bunch of spirit ascension pills almost emptied your imperial treasury." Shi Tian couldn't help but say.
"I know that. I can't afford it. Is there any way for me to obtain such treasures that can increase my cultivation quickly?" Li Yinzi said with a determined voice.
"My knowledge is limited, I don't know about such a place where sixth grade or higher rank spiritual treasure grows. You just need to tell me about the place where I can find sixth-rank spiritual treasure. I will go there to get it myself." Li Yinzi explained.
