103: Qi training ninth level monk

As for the beast hide, cowhide would suffice for now. When he had time, he would go to the Dense Forest Stone Nest to find some Yao Beasts of the Lianqi Sixth Level to make a mask that suited him.

Actually, Tang Tian did this because he was afraid others would see his age. Once Tang Tian reached twenty, he wouldn't need this mask.

The Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique also included a Cultivation Technique for hiding one's bone structure. Tang Tian began to Cultivate it, and in just half a day, he successfully Cultivated it.

Now it was time for Alchemy.

Because Big Yellow and Wuchi took turns doing Alchemy, the Gathering Qi Pill and Body Tempering Pill were quickly refined.

As usual, Big Yellow and Wuchi were given two pills as a reward.

Tang Tian swallowed all the Gathering Qi Pills at once and began to Cultivate.

Three days passed. After Tang Tian opened his eyes, he ate all the Body Tempering Pills.

Two days later, Tang Tian's foundation was stable, and Spiritual Qi overflowed as he opened his eyes.

He had already Broken through to the Lianqi Seventh Level!

The Spiritual Field in the entire Medicine Venerable Space had increased to seven mu!

Two more mu of Spiritual Field appeared, and the Medicine Venerable Space became even larger.

The chickens, ducks, and geese all rushed to occupy the additional two mu of land as their clan's territory.

Tang Tian ignored them, because he only needed three mu of land for planting medicine now.

After Breaking through to the Lianqi Seventh Level, Tang Tian's face lit up with joy.

According to the Ten Thousand Devouring Method, he could once again impart Cultivation to his pets.

First, he imparted Earthly Fiend Fist, Evergreen Skill, Frost Palm, and Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword to Wuchi and Big Yellow.

Seeing their excited expressions, Tang Tian said,

"Don't rush."

Then he imparted the Cao Mu Yi Xing Technique to them.

Wuchi, Big Yellow: ...

Then the intelligent chickens, ducks, and geese were called over, and he imparted Cultivation to them in the same way.

It was now the seventh day, meaning today they would intercept the Murong Family's caravan.

Tang Tian exited the Medicine Venerable Space.

At the crossroads, in front of the butcher shop, he bought a cowhide and threw it into the Medicine Venerable Space.

...

Then he went to the blacksmith shop, paid fifty Spirit Stones, and had fifty Yellow Rank swords made.

Arriving at the Yu Family, the Yu Family Ancestor was already waiting.

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"According to my scout, the Murong Family will pass by tonight. Take your men and set up an ambush. Here is the map."

"There are 100,000 Spirit Stones. I see you are interested in learning Alchemy. After this matter is successful, I will give you a Medicine Cauldron for a Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivator."

A Medicine Cauldron for a Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivator, 100,000 Spirit Stones would definitely not be enough to buy it. The difficulty of refining a Qi Refinement stage eight Cauldron was very high. It seemed the Yu Family Ancestor was putting a lot of effort into this.

Tang Tian had also paid attention to the Wanbao Pavilion. The Cauldrons there were not as good as the Yin Sha Old Man's Cauldron, or there were none at all.

Once a Medicine Cauldron appeared at an Auction House, it would be quickly bought by Alchemy Cultivators.

...

This Cauldron was five ranks higher than Tang Tian's Cauldron. Tang Tian asked,

"Really?"

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"I am a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, would I lie to you?"

Tang Tian said,

"I will not fail you!"

The Yu Family Ancestor gave Tang Tian a map of the area around Qingmu County. A place on the Qingmu County map was marked in red.

This was the location where the Yu Family Ancestor's scout said the Murong Family's caravan would pass tonight.

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"Go."

He used Spiritual Qi to push Tang Tian out of the room.

Tang Tian: ...

He rushed to the former site of the Liu Family without stopping and informed the Cultivators of the night's operation.

Tang Tian believed that two thousand Cultivators intercepting a Murong Family caravan should be an easy task.

Although Tang Tian didn't care much about the Yu Family's affairs, the Murong Family wasn't good people either, so whether these Cultivators died or the Murong Family died in this battle, it would be a good deed for Tang Tian.

In the past seven days, these Cultivators had burned, killed, and plundered, eliminating a large number of forces around Qingmu County. The Yu Family Ancestor didn't want to bother with it, and neither did Tang Tian.

So their Battle Intent was very strong now.

According to the Yu Family Ancestor's scout, the Murong Family had four Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivators. It was unknown if these two thousand Cultivators could control casualties within a thousand.

In the evening, Tang Tian retrieved the swords. With the swords in hand, Tang Tian no longer lingered.

Tang Tian said,

"By order of the Yu Family Ancestor, you are to depart immediately."

Two thousand Cultivators set off. Tang Tian hid at the very back of the team. After all, they were robbing the Murong Family's annual Spirit Stone income.

Tang Tian felt that the Murong Family couldn't possibly send only four Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivators to guard it.

...

The Gang leaders among those Cultivators said,

"Sir, do we need to set up an ambush?"

Tang Tian said,

"As you wish."

They arrived at the necessary passage for the Murong Family's caravan. This gorge was deep, and since the Murong Family traveled by water.

Therefore, a large number of Cultivators were ambushed on the mountains on both sides, with a large river below.

Tang Tian waited, chewing on a foxtail, as he wouldn't exert any effort when the time came.

It would be best to use the name of Yu Ping of the Yu Family, so as not to be too conspicuous.

In the middle of the night, thirty ships sailed across the river below. Each ship had ten Cultivators, totaling three hundred Cultivators.

Upon seeing the ships approach, the Cultivators from the Gangs directly jumped into the lake and began to attack.

One by one, they wielded their swords and slashed at the ships.

Two thousand people instantly descended onto the water.

They completely blocked the Murong Family.

The person in charge of the Murong Family's caravan said,

"Enemy attack!"

But very quickly, three ships were overturned by these Cultivators, and the Spirit Stones were dragged ashore by them.

The Murong Family's Cultivators couldn't sit still. Four Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivators rushed out and began to kill indiscriminately among the crowd.

Tang Tian wondered,

"Are there really only four Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivators? Or should I wait a bit longer?"

The Cultivators brought by the Yu Family ranged from Qi Refining stage, 1st level to Lianqi Sixth Level, and they were cut down by these four Qi Refinement stage eight Cultivators.

But Qi Refinement stage eight was not Foundation Establishment after all; they couldn't fly, and they also suffered considerable injuries.

If two thousand people each slashed them once, it would be enough to make them bleed to death.

The Gang leaders said,

"Please, Commander, make your move."

Tang Tian remained unmoved. At this moment, the hidden Cultivators of the Murong Family couldn't sit still, and the aura of a Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator intimidated the entire scene.

Tang Tian was stunned:

"Is the Murong Family so strong? Could it be that meditation cushion?"

With this Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator's attack, ten Cultivators were killed or injured.

Tang Tian considered that fifty swords appearing out of thin air from a Qi Refining Cultivator would be too shocking. If he used them, none of the Cultivators present would survive.

Otherwise, Tang Tian would be soul-searched and killed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Tang Tian cautiously submerged into the water and stayed motionless.

Tang Tian counted the Murong Family's merchant ships.

Those two thousand Cultivators were truly powerful; ten of the Murong Family's merchant ships were already gone.

Tang Tian released fifty swords in the water and used his sword seal to control them to fly out of the water.

He also inscribed ten Evil Qi on the swords. Fifty swords pierced through the body of the Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator.

The Evil Qi inside exploded.

The Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator died with resentment.

Tang Tian was stunned:

"Is this Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator so weak?"

However, half of the fifty swords were destroyed, and Tang Tian's sword seal dimmed by five points.

This was the drawback of the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword. If a sword controlled by the sword seal was lost, the sword seal would dim. If all swords were lost, the sword seal would explode.

But Tang Tian had long controlled this, so he wouldn't be injured. However, the time it took for the sword seal to explode and then re-form was double the time it took to form the sword seal initially.

That is, six days...
