17: This fourth level of Qi training is nothing special!

The days of waiting... Tang Tian wasn't idle either...

He exchanged the remaining twenty-five taels of gold for two and a half Spirit Stones.

He went to the medicine shop opened by Green Mountain Sect and bought Gathering Qi Pills; twenty-five pills wasn't a loss.

He went to the previous village to retrieve the custom-made wooden Puppet and continued refining Evil Qi during these days.

It had already solidified into six streams of Evil Qi... A short seven days passed quickly...

Today was the last day to capture Li Ruoya.

The ancestral worship formation was indeed loose; only ten soldiers came today.

Those individuals were at Qi Refining stage, 1st level, still not to be underestimated.

The black-clothed Official closed his eyes to rest on the side.

Tang Tian was about to make his move, but he stopped because someone was approaching from a distance.

A person wearing a mask appeared; that person was Liu Ru Shi.

She was accompanied by twenty black-clothed servants, who were at Qi Refining stage, 1st level cultivation.

Liu Ru Shi held a soft sword... She directly threw out talismans; twenty talismans dissipated, and Fireball Talismans, Ice Cone Talismans, and Lightning Talismans were released...

They enveloped the Official, who was at Qi Refining stage, 4th level.

Liu Ru Shi roared:

"—Move!"

The twenty servants, holding knives and swords, charged at the soldiers.

In just a few moments, all of them were killed.

Tang Tian was stunned. If Liu Ru Shi had been able to produce twenty talismans a few days ago, Zou Shi would not have betrayed them.

Liu Ru Shi went straight for Li Ruoya, captured her, and then retreated.

The Official, at Qi Refining stage, 4th level, let out a furious roar:

"How dare you!"

He didn't have many good pieces of flesh left on his body; he was seriously injured.

The Official said:

"This is the County Magistrate's second daughter... If you dare to touch her, no matter how strong your Family behind you is, you will surely be annihilated..."

Liu Ru Shi said nothing, only engaging him in a struggle. In just seven days, Liu Ru Shi had recovered to Qi Refining stage, 1st level.

Although the Official was severely injured, Liu Ru Shi was still no match for him.

Fortunately, Liu Ru Shi brought many people, but her Qi Refining stage, 1st level people were killed one by one by the Official's blade.

They were quickly all killed.

Tang Tian looked from afar; although those people's masks were exposed, their faces were disfigured.

Liu Family... how ruthless...

Liu Ru Shi found it difficult to cope with the attacks of the Official, who was at Qi Refining stage, 4th level. Tang Tian wondered, did the Liu Family have no one left?

Liu Ru Shi's battle was fraught with danger. Tang Tian, holding his two-hundred-pound greatsword, swung it towards the Official's head, laughing loudly:

"Sixth Sister, I'm here to help you."

The Official quickly blocked... Tang Tian said:

"Didn't expect that, did you...?"

The Official couldn't pull out the knife in his hand, so he threw a talisman, which Tang Tian dodged. Tang Tian released all six streams of Evil Qi.

He was at Qi Refining stage, 4th level, and although severely injured, he was still very strong, but he was entangled by Tang Tian's Evil Qi.

This Evil Qi, when Tang Tian killed the poisoned Grand Chief, it took him some time.

This shows how strong this Evil Qi is.

Under the greatsword and the Evil Qi, the Official couldn't cope.

Liu Ru Shi ran off with Li Ruoya first. Tang Tian didn't care; after all, without Senior Brother's talisman, Liu Ru Shi could only wait there.

Tang Tian crushed a Poison Pill. The more the Official fought, the less spiritual power he had, and finally, Tang Tian struck his head heavily.

The Official's last words were:

"You are at Qi Refining stage, 3rd level..."

He died with hatred...

The people accompanying the ritual in the distance all buried their heads low, not daring to look up.

Tang Tian directly put the Official's Qi Refining stage, 4th level corpse into the Medicine Venerable Space, and all the soldiers' corpses and servants' corpses were also collected.

There was no other way; the Medicine Venerable Space was poor.

Tang Tian, wearing a mask, looked at the people with their heads buried in the distance... Since they didn't look up and saw nothing, Tang Tian didn't like to kill indiscriminately... He left.

He traveled as swiftly as the wind, chasing after Liu Ru Shi. On the way, he even changed into a different set of clothes.

He burned his previous clothes and changed into the clothes he bought in the county town. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he found that the five Divine Senses on him had disappeared.

Tang Tian's expression softened. Liu Ru Shi, hiding stealthily in the bushes, said:

"Senior Brother, come here."

Liu Ru Shi bowed to Tang Tian and said:

"Fifth Senior Brother, let's go up."

Liu Ru Shi said anxiously... She apparently thought Tang Tian also didn't have the ability to kill the Official, who was at Qi Refining stage, 4th level...

Tang Tian saw this scene and, without explaining, said:

"Go!"

Liu Ru Shi had used up all her Spiritual Qi to escape. Tang Tian held Liu Ru Shi with one hand and Li Ruoya, whose mouth was tightly bound, with the other, pouring Spiritual Qi into the talismans in their clothes.

The three of them went up the mountain.

Red River Child's voice transmitted from afar:

"Fifth Shidi, just send this woman over. Sixth Sister, rest well."

Clearly, he knew everything that had happened these past few days.

Liu Ru Shi went back to her room to rest. As for why Tang Tian dared to collect the corpses just now, it was because at the moment Tang Tian made his move, his Divine Sense was already too weak to have any aura.

Tang Tian arrived at Red River Child's door and knocked, saying:

"Senior Brother, the person has been delivered."

Red River Child opened the door... In front of Tang Tian, he directly extracted Li Ruoya's dual Spiritual Root...

Li Ruoya's face was contorted, but still beautiful. Her Bone Refining stage, 9th level cultivation dissipated.

Senior Brother swallowed the dual Spiritual Root.

"Gul... Gul... Gul..."

Isn't this... Chi Daizi's eating sound? Good heavens, the sounds can be identical.

Senior Brother, in front of Tang Tian, refined Li Ruoya into an Alchemy pill and ate her.

But a Puppet of Li Ruoya then appeared, like a resentful ghost... no different from those paper Puppets...

Senior Brother said:

"Well done. You may go now."

Tang Tian left, saying:

"This is all Sixth Sister's credit."

Tang Tian returned to his small house, noticed that no one had detected him, and entered the Medicine Venerable Space.

Thinking that all four Senior Brothers had paper Puppets, Tang Tian felt a bit envious.

He couldn't help but say:

"Well, I'm Fifth Shidi. Will Chi Daizi also pass this Cultivation Technique to me?"

Tang Tian thought about it but didn't dwell on it too much. Great Yellow Black Lacquer came to lick his hand.

Tang Tian said:

"Alright, I know you want to eat..."

He pushed away Great Yellow Black Lacquer's tongue...

The previous corpses had turned into white bones again, and the spiritual power in the Medicine Venerable Space had increased by several points.

Tang Tian scooped out two catties of spiritual rice, making four bowls in total. The chickens, ducks, and geese came over to peck at the spiritual rice on the ground.

The spiritual rice was quickly cooked. One bowl was given to the chickens, ducks, and geese, while he still had two bowls for himself, and Great Yellow Black Lacquer had one.

Great Yellow Black Lacquer had grown a bit larger and now had a cultivation of Bone Refining stage, 1st level.

Tang Tian devoured the two bowls of rice like a whirlwind, also slicing the roasted chicken he bought in the village earlier to go with it.

It seemed that items in this Medicine Venerable Space wouldn't spoil. After eating his fill, he climbed up a tree and picked a few fruits to eat.

He suddenly noticed a few black spots under the lu cao flower... and they were spreading to other areas...

Upon closer inspection, they were insects.

Tang Tian was originally a medicine planter, so he knew about insects.

It turned out that when he brought in the lu cao flower, he also brought in the soil it was in.

Then some ground insects also came in.

There were many lu cao flower seeds in the soil. They couldn't grow before due to insufficient Spiritual Qi, but now with abundant Spiritual Qi, they grew, but the insects also grew.

Tang Tian roared:

"Stop eating, all of you, come catch bugs!"

Tang Tian squatted down and pinched the bugs to death. Great Yellow Black Lacquer quickly ran over like a loyal dog. The Big Geese also stopped eating, and finally, reluctantly pecked at the ground, finding no spiritual rice, and flapped their wings to fly over.

Tang Tian held the small bugs and, staring at them one by one, said:

"Do you know? Eat these."

The chickens, ducks, and geese began to flap and peck at the bugs. Great Yellow Black Lacquer also caught many. Catching bugs was their natural talent, which greatly reassured Tang Tian.

The blood Qi flowers nourished by the female leopard were growing well... but there were no seeds, so it seemed they could only be fed to Little Leopard or Great Yellow Black Lacquer...
