Absolute Strengthening Technique 57 Leaving Xuanyu City

The door creaked, he immediately positioned himself in front of the door.

"Old Kong, I know you are impatient but calm down. Nephew Lian is out of danger. It's just..." Old Chau frowned as he thought about Ling Lian's condition.

"Old Kong, I know you are impatient with this but calm down. Nephew Ling Lian is out of any danger. It's just..." Old Chau frowned deeply as he thought about Ling Lian's condition.

"What? Old Chau don't keep me in suspense." Ling Kong grabbed Old Chau's arm as he urged him to continue.

Old Chau was the only alchemist of Xuanyu City and respected by all. Seeing him hesitant frightened Ling Kong.

"It's just... nephew Ling Lian's recovery is extremely slow. I don't know what the other party used, but this was caused by an external force. You don't have to worry as it is not permanent either. I'll concoct some pill for him. Get them in two days." Old Chau sighed as he left the Ling Clan.

"Third Elder!"

Just as Old Chau left, a figure appeared behind Ling Kong.

"Shing, what did you find?" Ling Kong sighed deeply as he asked.

"It seems Young Master Ling went to find some trouble with the young man and somehow they p.i.s.sed them off before even meeting properly. The small girl one-shot Young Master Ling to this state."

"What did you find about those two?"

"They entered the city yesterday and directly visited our Ling Pavilion. They bought some expensive dresses from the store. From the description, they also have an interspatial sachet with them. The girl is extremely powerful but she seemed meek in front of the boy. I tried to check his cultivation but met with no luck."

"Hmm, how did Lian found them?" Ling Kong's brows creased tightly.

"The manager of the Ling Pavilion is one of Young Master's plaything. She was following his order for a year now. Any rich guy from the outside is mostly hunted by him. It was the same this time-"

"Execute that d.a.m.n thing," Long Kong calmly said, "Any background information about those two?"

"No. I couldn't find anyone guarding them. Either there is no guard or they are beyond our level."

"Anything else you would like to say?"

"They are too mysterious. I don't even have the confidence to even defeat the small girl. Moreover, they are only 15-18 years old. I afraid-"

"I know what you are trying to say. They are possibly descendent of some big families. I am no fool. Now that both Patriarch and the Grand Elder left the city, I'll be d.a.m.ned if any mishap happens!" Long Kong thought for a moment before he ordered, "Bring out a sword and a few precious ingredients from the treasury. I'll go myself."

...

Shen woke up from his sleep. He felt refreshed after yesterday's date with Kaidi. Although there were unexpected events, it was normal in this world, and moreover, he got used to it.

'This familiar heavy feeling on my right arm,' thought Shen. He knew who could it be, it was none other than Kaidi. 'Look at her, being so defenseless. Is she not afraid of me a.s.saulting her?'

His fingers trailed through her cheek as he pushed the strands of white hairs that was veiling her face. Her eyelash fluttered, but she showed no sign of waking up.

'Ok, its decided! I'll a.s.sault her today.'

His fingers touched her soft ears. He gently stroked them. A sudden feeling of calmness and relaxation overwhelmed him.

He stopped and pulled his hand back. He only wished to stroke a little and stop before she woke up... but the satisfaction was so high that he could get addicted to it.

's.h.i.t, they are shining! Are those a pair of arts? Divine treasure? Immortal treasure?...'

Shen kept recalling the unforgettable sensation. Her ears were smooth and silk, more than her hair! But touching them gives a sense of comfort, as if, as if he was free from the restriction of the world of nine continents. He felt he was one step closer in understanding the Dao of Freedom!

By the time he came back to his senses, his fingers were already cuddling with her ears. Rubbing them, stroking on them, and teasing them! The endless beauty and cuteness was like a devil's temptation that he failed to resist.

"naa~" a soft moan leaked from Kaidi's small mouth. Her three pure white tails flailed left and right. Shen reached the climax of his enjoyment process as he lightly pulled the end of the ear causing a huge reaction from her.

"Nyaa!"

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

Thup!

Kaidi jotted her eyes open, her three tails destroyed the bedding, as they fell down, but both were completely unfazed, more like frozen. Shen's hand were still holding her ears.

"..." shocked, she stared at Shen's hand, who could only awkwardly pull back his hand.

"Good Morning..." Shen cleared his throat and wished her morning.

Kaidi jumped up, her back faced Shen. She hid her ears with her hands, "... M-morning" and said to him in a mosquito-like voice. If Shen saw her face now, he would see the pure and unblemished Kaidi had beet red cheek and a s.e.xy smile on her face.

"Ahaha, there are some people waiting outside the room, I'll see who they are." Shen knew there were some people waiting outside the room, which was why he woke up in the first place, but the pure and divine Kaidi took his attention. Thanks to them, he could at least lessen the awkwardness.

Kaidi incredulously glanced at him, before she disappeared from her position.

Shen got up from the now broken bed. 'Was it something I shouldn't have done?' he thought. He squeezed his hand a little as he reminiscent the feeling. Shaking his head, he opened the door.

A middle-aged man greeted Shen, he had an amiable smile pasted on his face.

The first thought Shen had after seeing him was thrashing him thoroughly. That forced amiable smile, coupled with his small black short beard made him look wretched.

He confusedly checked them out. There was another two guy behind the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man being 8th-grade Xiantian, the guards behind were both 5th-grade Xiantian and all of them were without any weapon. Clearly indicating they are not here to cause any trouble.

"I'm the Third Elder of the Ling family, Ling Kong. Even though my nephew Lian had eyes he couldn't recognize Mount Tai. Please accept our apology."

Ling Kong lightly bowed as the guard behind laid a sword and a few one hundred years old herbs in front of Shen. There were even some pills but Shen didn't care about them.

"Are you done? Then you can go," said Shen casually.

"Then we will take our leave." Ling Kong already expected such an outcome.

By leaving Ling Lian alive Shen already showed his intention of not entering in a blood feud with them. He also expected the items presented to Shen was unlikely to catch his interest. In fact, it was only a formality, by presenting those items he meant, 'we know our fault, and we will take a step back.'

"Ah, deliver the girl from the Pavilion to me. I can't keep a blind eye on her action." Shen acted as he remembered something as he said loudly.

Ling Kong turned back as he smiled embarra.s.sedly, "Young Master, that would be troublesome," Ling Kong's word caused Shen to frown.

"Please don't take offense in my word. I don't intend to reject you, it's just her crime was too big for us to ignore, and we had to get rid of her."

"Hmm, it can't be helped in that case. You can go, I'm too busy to find trouble for useless things."

Shen closed the door and entered the Immortal Realm. He washed up quickly and changed into a clean set of clothes.

Shen didn't plan to stay in the Xuanyu city for long and decided to move fast. The journey in front of them was long, they will get more chance to explore cities in the future.

In front of the Inn, Shen summoned the Black Bird. He already knew there was no danger in the city and he wanted to go with a boom. The bird flew on the sky of Xuanyu city.

"Let me give you a parting gift," a small rock appeared in his hand.

Upgrade!

Upgrade!

Upgrade!

A common rock's max upgrade limit was three.

Combining it with Earth Xiantian Qi, he hurled it toward the Ling Pavilion.

BOOM!

The loud booming sound could be heard in the half of the Xuanyu city but there was no damage on the Pavilion, at least from the outside but the same could not be said for the inside.

It was 6 in the morning, and there was none inside the pavilion and Shen didn't bother to hold back either.

From afar, Ling Kong already knew what happened. He felt pained at the same time, a little relieved. If that's all it costed them, he could bear it.

"Make sure, no one knows about the incident. It will lower our reputation and position in the city," ordered Ling Kong. The two behind him nodded as they went back toward the inn's direction.

Shen lazily yawned on top of the after the hard training last night, he broke through and reached the second grade of the Martial King Realm. He used approximately two years inside the Immortal Realm to strengthen twelve strands of qi. At this speed, he felt his future bleak but there's a saying: 'where there's a will, there's a way,'

To Shen, alchemy was one of many ways. Also the most suitable one. While he could rely on Absolute Duo Manual, his partner had to be much higher level than his own. If they are on the same level, his partner usually receives more benefits than himself, which was indeed good but it hardly helps him.

After flying till the dawn Shen entered the Immortal Realm. He searched for Kaidi but she was nowhere inside the Immortal Realm, he deduced she was inside the Mortal Realm. Both Kaidi and the Black Bird could directly travel between the Immortal Realm and Mortal Realm which made him depressed. Was the realm trying to say, don't try to hide inside the realm?

Shaking his head, he cleared his mind before cultivating according to Absolute Strengthening Technique. After three rounds of cultivation according to the technique, he checked the progress of Absolute Physique. He was really helpless when cultivating his Absolute physique.

He couldn't stimulate his physique from outside, at least until he reached the fourth layer of the Absolute Physique. He deduced some possibility on that but he was not sure. One of the most probable and possible reason was the physique's high demand of purity.

Sensing the strands of Chaos Qi, he could 'see' a trace of golden color. The golden color was extremely thin and exuded almost untraceable amount of blood energy. The energy released by this blood was vigorous and mysterious. Completely different from his current blood. But the amount was pitiful. He even doubted the amount to be less than half of a drop.

Sighing in annoyance Shen opened his eyes, as they inadvertently fell on the Absolute Chaos Tree.

'I guess, I delayed it for long enough,' sighed Shen.
