Chapter 918: Chapter 912: Meeting an Old Friend in a Distant Land

West Lake Hotel.

Shu Yi had already arranged a room for Lin Tian.

However, she stood at the door, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Tian, carrying an inquisitive and doubtful look, awaiting his explanation.

Earlier.

Shu Yi merely thought Lin Tian had immense natural strength, as his one-handed lift of a car and the beating of Yuwen Building didn’t signify much.

But the scene of Lin Tian’s earlier action had scared her.

She even suspected for a moment that all the things Lin Tian said while cruising West Lake were true!

“Sister Shuyi, what you’re seeing now is all me!”

Lin Tian gently rubbed Shu Yi’s face with a skilled hand, smiling gently, “As for my skills, I’ll tell you more in the future. However, I haven’t learned National Martial Arts, nor Martial Arts! You just need to know that what I cultivate is an existence far stronger than those two!”

Hearing this, Shu Yi’s beautiful eyes slightly brightened, vaguely understanding something.

“Then… I won’t ask anymore!”

Shu Yi took a deep breath, finally smiling beautifully, “I was just a bit scared earlier! I trust you! But I can’t stay tonight!”

Saying this, Shu Yi’s face turned red, and she whispered, “There are still many unresolved matters on the company’s side, which I temporarily set aside. It’s still early, so I’ll go back to organize things! I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow morning, okay?”

“Okay, you should hurry over! But don’t be too late, call me when you get home!”

Lin Tian nodded with a slight smile and said.

After Shu Yi left, Lin Tian returned to the room.

West Lake Hotel is a high-rise building.

Lin Tian stood at the window, where from the hotel room over thirty floors up, the entire East Sea could be looked down upon.

It’s a pity.

East Sea isn’t visible, despite being named East Sea!

“Tomorrow, after spending a day with Sister Shuyi, I must head to Jinling City as Zhou Li previously mentioned!”

Lin Tian stood by the window, gazing at the city’s night view below, murmuring to himself, “Moreover, there’s the old man Huangfu Cheng, whom I promised to visit. However, Zhou Li mentioned that the Martial Arts Conference is divided into three levels and times, starting with National Martial Arts, then Martial Arts, and finally the battles among cultivators. This tiered selection of talented juniors is ultimately for providing fresh blood to the upper cultivation sects…”

Standing by the window for a long while, Lin Tian finally turned around and returned.

Subsequently, Lin Tian took a glance at the room.

Very large and luxurious, previously noted by Shu Yi to be a presidential suite.

However, Lin Tian was completely indifferent; no matter how luxurious, it was just for one night, or he might not bother to sleep at all.

Scanning around, Lin Tian pulled over the enormous carpet in the center of the presidential room, heading for the balcony.

He laid out the carpet and sat down in a cross-legged position, taking out the alchemy furnace from the storage bag.

Now, Lin Tian intended to perform alchemy!

Outside the balcony, it was easier to communicate with the external world, with just a touch of nature’s spiritual energy, which aids in increasing the success rate of alchemy.

After laying out the carpet, Lin Tian also padded it with a layer of iron blocks, and then placed the pill furnace atop.

Next, he took out fire charcoal, placing it in the furnace’s firing port below.

Once the furnace was heated up, Lin Tian took out a plant whose entire body was rather dark—Death Spirit Grass!

“It’s a pity that I only obtained ten stalks of Death Spirit Grass; the rest was taken by that Niu Tongtian! Who exactly is that Taoist?”

Lin Tian harbored some doubts while simultaneously cutting and dividing the branches and leaves of the Death Spirit Grass.

Next.

He began the alchemical process.

Death Spirit Grass, among spiritual medicines, is not high in rank, thus Lin Tian’s concoction was exceedingly quick.

Yet, ten minutes later, a burst of cracking sounded from the furnace, causing Lin Tian to frown slightly.

This time, his alchemy failed!

But Lin Tian didn’t mind much, as the first attempt to refine Death Spirit Grass this life, failure was normal.

He continued refining!

Fortunately, not long after, Lin Tian successfully refined a Life Spirit Pill!

Yes, a Life Spirit Pill!

The Death Spirit Grass originally contained a lifeless Yin Qi, but once refined, it transformed into cultivation energy that cultivators could significantly absorb.

“Let’s see how effective this Life Spirit Pill is!”

Lin Tian murmured softly, consuming the elixir.

With the operation of the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique, the Life Spirit Pill dissolved instantly upon entry, and a vast amount of energy promptly entered the dantian.

This time, as always, all spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the second Dao Platform.

The black Dao Platform revealing the vaguely Yin Yang patterns suddenly shone brightly.

Yet, in a flash, the lights were subdued, making the Yin Yang patterns on the Dao Platform noticeably clearer.

“The Life Spirit Pill refined from Death Spirit Grass is indeed much more effective than ordinary spiritual grass! With the spirit stones on hand, as well as the Devouring Sky Grass, etc., this Dao Platform should be able to be reinforced into shape!”

Lin Tian, observing the changes in the Yin Yang Platform within his dantian internally, finally sighed with relief, secretly marvelling.

At the same time.

He also anticipated more changes to come from the Yin Yang Platform, hoping it would bring him even greater strength.

Nonetheless, Lin Tian didn’t continue alchemy; this being a hotel, he simply couldn’t settle down peacefully.

Upon rising, Lin Tian checked the time, it was just after nine, without a hint of sleepiness, so he decided to head downstairs.

“Let’s eat something to fill up, and also just get a taste of the East Continent’s local flavor!”

Lin Tian exited the room and descended the hotel.

The hotel was directly opposite West Lake, with a food street right beside it.

At this hour, the food street was exceedingly lively.

The street was lined with various shops and stalls, offering everything one could wish for.

All sorts of food had Lin Tian dazzled.

After walking a stretch to the end of the food street, Lin Tian sat down at a stall called Baihe Food Store.

Lin Tian glanced at the menu, which offered barbecue, meat patties, white porridge, boiled fish, among others.

Just as Lin Tian was about to order something, he suddenly noticed the conversation of several young people at the adjacent table.

At that table, there were only four people, two boys and two girls, aged around fifteen or sixteen, chatting and laughing.

“How come our Little Nai deity still hasn’t come?”

“Tsk, you’re hungry and want to eat Nai, aren’t you? If the deity appears, will you pounce on her?”

“Come on, stop bad-mouthing Little Nai’er behind her back! Always bullying the honest ones!”

“Little Nai is still an honest person? You must have forgotten when she beat Fatty He from the class into a pig’s head!”

The quartet bantered, not genuinely attacking each other, clearly showing a harmonious atmosphere.

“Hmph, you’re talking bad about me, aren’t you?”

Just then, an exceedingly familiar voice reached Lin Tian’s ears.

Lin Tian looked up, only to see a girl wearing a martial arts uniform that barely reached her thighs, stepping forward with her long legs bound with straps and knee pads, her pretty face a bit angry, cute nose gently wrinkled, approaching the table of four.

Seeing the girl clearly, Lin Tian’s expression froze slightly.

“Little Nai’er is here!”

Lin Tian was quite surprised, standing up and walking over.

The approaching girl was none other than Aunt Liiu’s daughter, Liiu Nai’er, who lived next door!
