Chapter 574 Di Ji Deserves Better
* Om~ *
Then, Li Fengyuan slightly felt as if a large amount of powerful energy engulfed her to finally instantly gather in her chest as well. She was sure that this energy was mysterious and strange as she could faintly sense that it seemed to be something different from the spirit Chi she normally gathered. But then she attributed it to Ling Tian and thought he had done something, so she didn\'t worry and continued to focus on breaking through. She quickly executed her cultivation technique.
A small, tiny glowing golden point manifested in the center of her body, surprising and astonishing Li Fengyuan to see that this is her own golden core before refocusing and consolidating it. One slip in this stretch and it could be fatal to her cultivation to the point of falling and becoming a cripple.
Her cells, tissues, blood, muscles, nerves, marrow and bones were tempered with the pure Chi spirit that gathered in her body. Li Fengyuan felt a transparent blindfold fall off and she could see a little more clearly into the world. The shackles she felt earlier also disappeared and a sense of relief and softness spread throughout her body.
After a certain amount of time, a golden spot on her body consolidated and she could finally see it, being a true golden core! Li Fengyuan smiled in joy and marveled!
"Well done! You have become an official Golden Core realm cultivator!"
The moment she opened her eyes, Li Fengyuan was slightly startled to see Ling Tian looking at her with a smile. A feeling of warmth and gratitude surged in her heart as she realized that thanks to this man in front of her, she can reach this moment. Even a slight blush showed on her soft cheeks.
"Thank you..."
But at the moment when she thanked Ling Tian, Li Fengyuan whispered and lowered her voice more when she realized that she had slight traces of impurities on her body, there was also a slight somewhat unpleasant smell that she smelled instantly when she realized that it was her body expelling the impurities!
Flashing like a flash of lightning, Li Fengyuan felt a great embarrassment as she disappeared and flew straight towards the flying ship, arriving in less than a few seconds as if she was in perfect control of her newly ascended power.
"Haha!" Ling Tian let out a few small laughs as he watched Li Fengyuan\'s behavior and shook his head. A nostalgic but at the same time joyful memory flashed through his mind as he recalled his wives when they first cultivated or broke into cultivation, crying out in embarrassment at seeing their bodies in such a state, covered in impurities being removed. His female disciples also did the same from a young age even as they grew up; no doubt every woman would do the same apparently.
Ling Tian glanced around and nodded to the locals who were in shock and could not quickly process what was happening. With his head he nodded softly before returning to where he was previously.
"Young Master!"
Di Ji called out with a joyful expression to Ling Tian once she saw him return. Her eyes so pure and beautiful undoubtedly showed happiness.
Ling Tian smiled upon seeing Di Ji still calling him in such a way, so he could only shake his head and let it pass.
"Did Fengyuan really break through quickly?"
Feng Xiao asked Ling Tian when a few seconds ago he had seen Li Fengyuan break through to the Golden Core. And that was just a few days ago she was barely at the Late Stage of the Golden Core!
The cultivation speed really was impressive!
Feng Xiao was sure that with Li Fengyuan\'s talent, she would have to wait for at least a month to break through! But now she had done it in less than 5 days!
Even Feng Ye was somewhat surprised. At his age and from all he had been through, he too had estimated that Li Fengyuan would have to wait a little longer to break through to the next level. But it seemed that Ling Tian once again broke through his knowledge and experience. Feng Ye was sure that Ling Tian had taught Li Fengyuan something.
Only Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling were not surprised. They believed that whatever was impossible to achieve, Ling Tian could achieve it.
"I only gave her a few tips with the sword. I still need to give her her cultivation technique that will help her advance faster."
But Ling Tian simply nodded his head slightly and said, leaving Feng Ye and Feng Xiao even more stunned.
Releasing his spirit sense all over the small town, Ling Tian nodded and said, "There is no enemy left now. It seems that this Ji family can\'t wait for me to visit them." Ling Tian smiled mischievously and a killing glint flashed across his gaze. Ling Tian always abhorred this kind of thing by involving innocent people even if they were in this world.
Shin Wei nodded with a dark face and so did Xuanyuan Ling; her gaze was filled with disgust and hatred.
"We have brought you back home, Di Ji, therefore we have to go. Don\'t worry that something like this might happen again, I will take care of this Ji family." Ling Tian made sure the whole place was okay before looking at Di Ji and her family, his hand reached up and patted her head, smiling softly at her.
"Young Master..." But Di Ji looked with shock and even despair at Ling Tian when she heard his words.
"Young Master, why don\'t you better stay for a while? I\'m sure after all this you would like to rest for a while. Although our family is poor we still want to thank you for taking care of our dear Jiji all this time as well as saving us."
Before Di Ji could say anything, the mother who had put on a quick dress said with a loving and grateful smile. She had seen the changes in Di Ji\'s face and the pure feelings in Di Ji\'s eyes and knew that her daughter was enchanted and fascinated by Ling Tian. Although she knew that the two of them were world apart and that Di Ji would probably not enter Ling Tian\'s eyes, she as a mother also did not want to see her daughter sad.
"Please, Young Master." Di Ji\'s father bowed to Ling Tian, politely asking him to accept.
Di Ji looked expectantly and hopefully at Ling Tian.
"Yeah, big brother, come and see my toys!"
"Yes! Play with me too!"
Di Ji\'s two younger siblings ran over and hugged Ling Tian\'s waist, looking at him with happy and bright eyes.
Ling Tian raised his eyebrows at the sight of Di Ji\'s expectant face as well as that of her whole family. The little children hugging him with adoration and hope that he would stay.
"Is it okay if we stay?" Ling Tian let out a small smile and looked at Shin Wei and Feng Ye.
"Whatever you decide, Master." Shin Wei nodded smoothly. He would always listen to whatever his Master asked.
"I have no problem with that." Feng Ye nodded likewise.
"Then let\'s go..."
Ling Tian shook his head and exhaled smilingly. His gaze turned to Di Ji and her parents.
"En!"
The two children shouted happily and carried Ling Tian home pulling him by his arms.
Di Ji smiled in relief and invited everyone into her house. Her parents led everyone into the small living room which quickly filled up.
"Young Master, as Di Ji\'s father, I want to thank you for taking care of her and bringing her back home."
"Yes, thank you for bringing her back safe and sound!"
Di Ji\'s father said once Ling Tian and everyone sat in the room, small but cozy with a warm feeling. Di Ji\'s mother beside him also nodded with a grateful and loving smile.
Both experienced parents could see that Ling Tian was very different from any other immature youngster, with a calm and serene look that was rare to find in someone of his generation; they could even notice that look full of life\'s vicissitudes that they would only find in older adults who had experienced life and understood some mysteries.
Ling Tian\'s arms were busy having some toys that Di Ji\'s two younger siblings had given him, showing him what they had and how they played.
"It\'s okay, Di Ji is a good girl who didn\'t deserve to be in that place, so I was hoping she would go back to her family better. She deserves better." Ling Tian replied with a smile as his hands continued to play with both small children, but his gaze was on both of Di Ji\'s parents.
Di Ji\'s face blushed as she poured Ling Tian a cup of tea, following the same behavior as before of being a maid even though Ling Tian had told her not to worry. However, a happy smile full of obvious joyful feelings still showed on her face.
"This is..."
Ling Tian blinked slightly as he brought the cup his mouth and the faint scent exuded from the tea leaf reached his nose.
