Chapter 197: Chapter 0189 Who Dares to Underestimate Him_2 Chapter 197: Chapter 0189 Who Dares to Underestimate Him_2 After coming out of the advanced private cultivation room, Qi Tian went to see the Master of the Sky Eagle Hall, Luo Xia. Luo Xia advised him to be patient and wait for the appointnt from the Mansion Master. From Luo Xia’s hints, Qi Tian discerned that Xiao Xiaowu was likely to exit from seclusion, which would definitely take a considerable amount of ti. Hence, he managed to get a reward from Luo Xia, a special approval to enter the advanced private cultivation room for an extended period.
Luo Xia admired Qi Tian greatly and agreed to Qi Tian’s request without hesitation. He approved Qi Tian’s request to cut in line and allowed him to cultivate in the advanced single cultivation room for three months. These three months could be used continuously or separately, but it shouldn’t exceed three months in total.
With this approval in hand, Qi Tian smoothly entered the advanced private cultivation room once again and resud his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Qi Tian had still not received any summons from the Mansion Master. His closed-door cultivation in the advanced private cultivation room was starting to beco unendurable. He had used up all his Tiger Roar Pills. His cultivation of the Tiger Golden Body Skills had reached the fourth level, and could no longer progress. He devoted most of his ti to practicing the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist and opening up his ridians.
Utilizing this month’s ti, Qi Tian advanced two more moves in the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist. He successfully cultivated the Eleventh Move: Nine Gates Tiger Leopard and Twelfth Move: Harsh Rule Fierce Tiger, both are top-grade martial arts moves. The forr emphasizes speed and can manifest a scene of a herd of leopards and tigers with one punch, which is truly astonishing. The latter emphasizes strength, where each punch can add an extra force equal to five hundred pounds.
However, the biggest progress Qi Tian made in this month was not in the Tiger Golden Body Skills or the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, but in his cultivation realm. During his frantic cultivation with the Heavenly Dao Engine running at full speed regardless of costs, he managed to unblock another seven ridians. By the end of the one-month closed-door cultivation, he had, in total, unblocked a whopping twenty-five ridians, all in perfect condition. In other words, without resorting to any ans and using only the True Essence in his ridians, he could punch with a force amounting to seven thousand five hundred pounds.
At this ti, Qi Tian was only at the Qi Cultivation 7th Level and had unblocked a single ridian. Chu Yang, who was half a step into the Foundation Establishnt Stage, had only unblocked twenty-five ridians when he stopped to channel all his ridians together. Hu Qifan and Gao Han, who were both in the half-step Foundation Establishnt Stage that Qi Tian had crossed paths with, were in a rather similar situation. What’s more, they were all much older than Qi Tian. Chu Yang was already twenty-eight, Hu Qifan was even older, being in his thirties. While Gao Han was slightly younger, he was still well over twenty.
If the people at the Imperial Master Mansion knew that Qi Tian, who was barely thirteen, managed to reach the Qi Cultivation 7th Level and unlock so many ridians, they’d probably go insane. However, currently, everyone at the Imperial Master Mansion was focusing on the Mansion Master, Xiao Xiaowu, and no one paid any attention to Qi Tian. Moreover, Qi Tian wasn’t stupid enough to brag about his achievents everywhere.
At this point in his cultivation, Qi Tian was finding it hard to continue. After consecutively cultivating in seclusion for more than a month, his consumption was simply too great. Not only did he need a large amount of cultivation resources to open up and reconstruct ridians as well as body forging, even running the Heavenly Dao Engine at full speed required a huge amount of cultivation resources as fuel. This made Qi Tian, who was originally affluent, rapidly impoverished. The large quantity of cultivation resources he had obtained from the Lianying Realm and other ans, had been basically exhausted, leaving him with only spirit stones, mostly middle-grade ones. Even low-grade spirit stones were very rare. Any substance with a bit of energy had been fed to the Heavenly Dao Engine as fuel and was burned out.
Qi Tian was almost certain that as long as he had enough cultivation resources and persisted in his closed-door cultivation for another one or two months, he would definitely reach the peak of Qi Cultivation Stage or even surge into the Foundation Establishnt Stage all at once. However, this was only a fantasy. Without cultivation resources, everything was in vain.
Although Qi Tian was sowhat unwilling, he had to temporarily halt his cultivation, leaving the advanced single Cultivation Room. His first move was to go find Huang Liuyan. At this point, he had to see if this newly acknowledged sister could help him out. Of course, Qi Tian did not directly ask Huang Liuyan for cultivation resources, but hoped that she could take him to Wanjie City again. Perhaps, like last ti, he could find so overlooked cultivation resources to bring back.
At West Peacock Palace, Qi Tian t Zhang Lei, but didn’t find Huang Liuyan. Zhang Lei told Qi Tian that Huang Liuyan, after being invited to the Mansion Master of Kunpeng Hall over a month ago, had not returned since. Not only Huang Liuyan, but many senior figures in the Imperial Master Mansion had also not made public appearances during this ti. Everyone was guessing whether sothing had happened at Mansion Master’s place, but no one could provide an answer.
Unable to et Huang Liuyan, Qi Tian’s hopes of picking up bargains in Wanjie City were dashed. After giving it so thought, he said goodbye to Zhang Lei and rushed to Feather Hall, the second-hand market of the Imperial Master Mansion. The disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion would sell items of unknown origin found during their travels and items they no longer needed. Qi Tian planned to replicate his success in the second-hand market of Wanjie City, hoping to find so overlooked treasures here. Unfortunately, after circling the entire Feather Hall three tis, the reaction of the Heavenly Dao Engine was still indifferent. Apparently, there are no items with rich Spirit Qi here. As for whether there are high-value items with low Spirit Qi, the Heavenly Dao Engine cannot detect them, and Qi Tian doesn’t have the ti to sift through hundreds of thousands of items in Feather Hall.
After rummaging through the Wuhang Ring, Qi Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw a brocade box containing the fruit of the Purple Fire Fruit and a Sha Mu Thorn plant. Those were two herbs that any Qi Cultivation Period cultivator would covet. Both were herbs used in the concoction of Foundation Establishnt pills, especially the Purple Fire Fruit, which was the main and irreplaceable potion for Foundation Establishnt Stage.
When Qi Tian first obtained the Purple Fire Fruit and the Sha Mu Thorn, he declared his intention to set up a gambling ga in which any disciple of the Imperial Master Mansion could participate. However, after setting up the ga, he only played once with Chu Yang, and then had no opportunity again.
Qi Tian’s eyes lit up. He was in desperate need of cultivation resources. Since he couldn’t get cultivation resources in other ways, why not set up a ga again using the Purple Fire Fruit and Sha Mu Thorn, and gamble with other disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion. With his current abilities, no cultivator in the Qi Cultivation stage could defeat him. It was steady winning and no losing, it could be considered a fishing style bet.
Qi Tian saw nothing wrong with this approach. He neither stole nor robbed, and he also put in a stake. If the other disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion were not greedy, they would naturally not suffer any losses. But because they were greedy, they were likely to take the bait.
With the idea, Qi Tian took the brocade box and went to the entrance of Sky Eagle Hall. Then he put up a sign here announcing that he accepted challenges from all Qi Cultivation and Half-step Foundation Establishnt disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion. If they won, they could take away the Purple Fire Fruit and Sha Mu Thorn. If they lost, they would need to give him cultivating resources equivalent to eight million taels of silver. In addition, they could challenge individually for the Purple Fire Fruit, which was worth six million taels of silver, or the Sha Mu Thorn, which was worth four million taels of silver.
Qi Tian had thought everything through, but he forgot one thing. In the Imperial Master Mansion, especially in Huangque Hall and Sky Eagle Hall, he had already made quite a na for himself. After all, he had consecutively defeated Chu Yang, Hu Qifan, and Gao Han, three Half-step Foundation Establishnt individuals. Who would dare underestimate him?
