Chapter 43: Women Are Like Water. What a Good Imagery
“I refined the First Essence Heavy Water?”
Shen Tian was stunned before his expression changed drastically.
A strong sense of hunger and emptiness surged through his entire body.
At that moment, he felt as though his body had been emptied.
“Something’s wrong. That thing is absorbing my essence!”
Shen Tian clutched his kidney, feeling the essence energy in his body rapidly depleting.
A powerful suction force erupted from his kidney as it crazily absorbed energy.
F*ck, it’s said that women are like water. What a good imagery.
While Shen Tian was cursing in his heart, he quickly took out a large amount of Spirit Stones from the Archeon Sea Ring.
The so-called refinement of essence energy into Qi meant that essence energy and Spirit Qi were actually two convertible types of energy.
However, the purity of Spirit Qi was higher than that of ordinary essence energy.
Therefore, most cultivators relied on daily nutritious food to accumulate their essence energy before converting it into Spirit Qi for cultivation.
However, with a large amount of Spirit Stones in possession, he could quickly convert the spiritual power in them into essence energy.
Currently, within Shen Tian’s body, the First Essence Heavy Water was crazily absorbing his essence energy.
He could only absorb Spirit Stones to fill this hole.
Shen Tian took out a bag of Spirit Stones and devoured the Spirit Qi within it.
100
200
300
…
Soon, the Spirit Stones that had been sucked dry were scattered all over the ground.
Shen Tian’s complexion gradually became better, but his eye circles were still frighteningly dark.
Those who didn’t know better would think that some beauty had hollowed out Shen Tian’s body. His kidney could not keep up!
He continued absorbing!
1,000
2,000
3,000
…
All the empty bags were thrown to the side. Eunuch Gui and the others were dumbfounded.
This was too terrifying!
In just an hour, he had actually absorbed several thousand Spirit Stones.
Even a Golden Core cultivator would fret over having to devour so many Spirit Stones!
However, Shen Tian had no intention of stopping.
He sat cross-legged. His body was like a huge whirlpool that kept devouring the Spirit Qi.
It was not something he could stop just because he wanted to.
After sensing Shen Tian’s injection of Spirit Qi, the First Essence Heavy Water in his kidney became even more excited.
It immediately gave up on absorbing Shen Tian’s essence energy and began absorbing the Spirit Qi crazily.
The First Essence Heavy Water devoured the Spirit Qi that Shen Tian delivered into his body.
However, what was worth mentioning was that as the First Essence Heavy Water devoured the Spirit Qi, Shen Tian’s aura also grew stronger rapidly.
Body Tempering: 1st Firmament
Body Tempering: 2nd Firmament
Body Tempering: 3rd Firmament
Body Tempering: 4th Firmament!
In just two hours, his aura had soared from the 1st Firmament of Body Tempering to the 4th Firmament.
One had to know that the path of cultivation was always more and more difficult toward the end.
It being 10 times more difficult to break through to the 4th Firmament than the 1st Firmament of Body Tempering was an understatement!
Even Qi Refinement cultivators would find it extremely difficult to break through so quickly.
Besides, Shen Tian cultivated the Godfiend Body Tempering Cultivation System.
This speed of improvement was unbelievable!
…
“How is that possible?”
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao stared blankly at Shen Tian, their faces looking as though they were questioning life.
Over the past three days, with the Spirit Stones that Shen Tian had given them, the two of them had improved by leaps and bounds.
Eunuch Gui’s cultivation had already advanced to the 8th Firmament of the Qi Refinement realm.
Qin Gao was originally at the peak of the 3rd Firmament of Qi Refinement, but he had already broken through to the 5th Firmament.
The two of them had always been shocked by the effects of the Demon Book of Hyuga that His Highness had taught them.
However, compared to the speed at which His Highness’ cultivation was improving, the duo felt that what they cultivated was nothing but child’s play.
They were cultivating an even simpler Qi Refinement system, while His Highness was cultivating an even more difficult Body Tempering system?
Are we really cultivating what Demon Hyuga had left behind—the Demon Book of Hyuga—which was claimed to have the fastest cultivation speed?
And what His Highness cultivated was some Tinder Body-Tempering Art he bought with five taels of silver?
Why does it feel like the whole world is making a fool of us!?
Could it be that His Highness was actually those spoken of in legends?
A rare genius immortal cultivator?
Time passed…
Finally, Shen Tian’s aura gradually stabilized.
His cultivation stopped at the peak of the 4th Firmament Body Tempering realm.
At that moment, he had already absorbed more than 10,000 Spirit Stones.
It must be understood that most cultivators would only spend around 1,000 Spirit Stones to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The Spirit Stones that Shen Tian had consumed were enough to nurture 10 Foundation Establishment cultivators.
To break through from the 1st Firmament to the 4th Firmament for the Body Tempering realm, he had actually consumed 10,000 Spirit Stones.
If word got out, many people would be frightened to death by the number.
Shen Tian’s complexion had completely returned to normal. His dark circles had also disappeared.
He slowly opened his eyes and muttered, “I see.”
After checking his entire body by circulating his cultivation technique, Shen Tian gradually understood everything that had happened to him.
Shen Tian had indeed been unconscious for three days and three nights, but he had not wasted this period of time.
After he had absorbed the First Essence Heavy Water into his body, it had started to circulate following the Tinder Body-Tempering Art’s circulation process.
It had been tempering his entire body!
…
It must be known that First Essence Heavy Water was ranked 12th on the Absolute Water List, and its greatest characteristic was its weight.
A single droplet of First Essence Heavy Water weighed nearly 20 million tonnes.
If a large amount of spiritual energy was added to it, the weight even multiplied.
In the cultivation world, it was recognized as a supplementary treasure for Godfiend Body Tempering cultivation.
After refining the First Essence Heavy Water, it was stored in his body.
He could control the First Essence Heavy Water to temper his body and make his body stronger and tougher.
However, this kind of tempering was very dangerous. If he did not control it well, he might end up exploding to his death.
After all, how could something weighing nearly 20 million tonnes per drop be so easily withstood?
Shen Tian also did not understand why he could so easily refine and absorb the First Essence Heavy Water.
He was clearly cultivating the Tinder Body-Tempering Art, not some Water Body-Tempering Art!
Furthermore, during the three days that he had been unconscious, the First Essence Heavy Water had constantly been flowing through his body and strengthening it.
In the past three days, Shen Tian’s physical strength had increased by more than ten times. However, due to the lack of Spirit Qi supply, his body had dried up, and his aura was completely restrained.
Shen Tian had absorbed a total of 10,000 Spirit Stones to fill up his empty body.
At once, the aura belonging to the 4th Firmament Body Tempering realm was completely restored.
At that moment, Shen Tian felt that he was stronger than ever.
…
“Uncle Gui, try my strength again.”
Shen Tian’s eyes lit up as he laughed and pounced toward Eunuch Gui.
He clenched his right fist and threw a punch at Eunuch Gui.
The wind from the fist was like a huge river, emitting rumbling sounds of a rushing wind.
Clearly, the power of this punch had improved by leaps and bounds compared to three days ago.
Eunuch Gui’s expression changed slightly. He looked very serious.
Even though his cultivation had already reached the 8th Firmament of the Qi Refinement realm, making it far higher than Shen Tian’s, the latter’s aura at that moment shocked him.
…
Eunuch Gui took a deep breath and shouted, “Sunflower Flowers Bloom!”
Suddenly, red Spirit Qi surged out of his body and condensed into a blood-colored sunflower in front of him.
This was the defensive-type technique recorded in the Demon Book of Hyuga: Demonic Sunflower Protection.
He condensed his Spirit Qi into a red demonic sunflower to defend himself.
This demonic sunflower contained an extremely powerful defense. Even Godfiend Body Tempering cultivators of the same level would find it hard to crack it.
Boom!
Shen Tian’s fist landed heavily on the demonic sunflower.
Eunuch Gui’s expression changed. He could actually feel the demonic sunflower trembling.
How is this possible? His Highness is only at the 4th Firmament of Body Tempering, but why does it feel that his strength is even greater than an ordinary 7th Firmament!?
It must be understood that 99% of Godfiend Body Tempering techniques were secrets which the major immortal sects kept to themselves.
However, for some reason, the Tinder Body-Tempering Art was widely spread throughout the cultivation world.
However, it is such a common cultivation technique that His Highness has cultivated to such a terrifying level?
When did His Highness’ cultivation talent become so terrifying?
Eunuch Gui didn’t have the time to think before his expression changed.
Shen Tian’s attack came again.
“Uncle Gui, be careful!”
Shen Tian let out a long roar and suddenly slapped the area where his kidney was.
Immediately afterward, a layer of silver liquid appeared on the surface of his right fist.
As this liquid appeared, Shen Tian’s aura suddenly increased.
He delivered his punch!
