Chapter 1115: Helping with Level Up
"Very good, Liu Ting, what’s your current power level?" Tan Tian asked.
"Let me see, I broke through once in the past few days, now I’m at Tunnel One Star." Liu Ting replied with a slight smile.
"Hmm, then I’ll give you two Super Qi Gathering Pills, and later I’ll give you a regular Qi Gathering Pill. In this way, you can break through to Celestial Dao One Star."
Liu Ting nodded, accepting the Super Qi Gathering Pills handed over by Elder Tan.
"What about Xiaoyu?"
"Huh? I don’t know, how about I run it for you to see?" Lu Xiaoyu didn’t know how to check her power level, so she directly started running her Heart Method.
As she began to run it, she startled both Chen Tianlong and Tan Tian. This little girl had upgraded so fast; she had only been Tunnel One Star when returning from Ice City, and now she had reached Tunnel Five Star—damn fast.
"Xiaoyu, you’ve reached Tunnel Five Star, eating one will allow you to break through to Celestial Dao One Star." Tan Tian took out one pill, but then thought about it and took out another one. Anyway, there are still more Super Qi Gathering Pills, it’s fairer to give two to each person.
This time, Tan Tian didn’t continue asking one by one, saying, "Alright, out of everyone here, except for Bingshuang, who has the relatively weaker power level, raise your hand."
Only Lin Wushuang raised her hand; her Tunnel One Star had not changed at all until now, which made her a bit frustrated.
But this was understandable—the inheritors of the Fire Element, when cultivating in the Mortal Realm, indeed don’t upgrade visibly, which is why it hasn’t happened in so long.
"I’m Tunnel One Star."
Lin Wushuang replied with a wry smile, her strength far behind compared to Lu Xiaoyu.
"It’s okay; you’re just like Liu Ting. Later, I’ll give you an additional Qi Gathering Pill; I still have three in my collection, should be enough."
After handing over two Super Qi Gathering Pills, Tan Tian turned to Li Bingshuang beside him and said, "Alright, two pills for each person. As for Bingshuang, I want to bring her to the room to teach her the Heart Method. Others, follow Liu Ting upstairs later. After all, when breaking through, some awkward situations might arise, but since you are all girls, it’s no problem being in one room."
Everyone nodded; several among them had seen Chen Tianlong’s breakthrough, which seemed to blow off clothes. But this was due to the Heart Method; some breakthroughs didn’t have such effects.
For example, Lu Xiaoyu and Liu Ting.
Once prepared, Li Bingshuang followed Tan Tian to his room, and Chen Tianlong was somewhat worried, so he went along. Unexpectedly, Li Bingshuang had a foundation, quickly learning the Heart Method from Elder Tan, mastering the essentials by around five in the afternoon.
"Master, why don’t you go take a rest? Leave Bingshuang to me; in about two hours, she should reach Celestial Dao One Star." Chen Tianlong assured Tan Tian confidently.
"Oh? You’re that confident?"
Tan Tian hesitated but then recalled this guy’s Heaven-defying Heart Method, smiled, and walked out.
Once Tan Tian was gone, Chen Tianlong said to Li Bingshuang, "Bingshuang, close your eyes and start running the Heart Method."
"Huh? Close my eyes? What are you doing?"
Li Bingshuang blushed, thinking Chen Tianlong was going to kiss her.
"Hehe, you guess what I’m going to do, hurry and close your eyes, I can’t wait any longer." Chen Tianlong teased intentionally.
"Oh."
Li Bingshuang pouted a bit, nervously closing her eyes. At this moment, she began running her Heart Method, but she was actually wondering if Chen Tianlong would really kiss her.
Just at the next moment, she felt a coolness at her wrist, followed by a surge of pure Powerful Qi entering her body. At this moment, Li Bingshuang was a bit disappointed since Chen Tianlong hadn’t kissed her, feeling inexplicably lost.
"Bingshuang, concentrate, run the Heart Method, I want to upgrade you."
Chen Tianlong had already tested it—when he was at the Tunnel level, he could upgrade someone to Profound Dao One Star. By this logic, now that he’s Celestial Dao Six Star, couldn’t he reach Tunnel One Star?
If realized, it would save a lot of Qi Gathering Pills.
"Got it."
Li Bingshuang took a deep breath and started running the Heart Method seriously; she better not get distracted and accidentally suffer Demonic Possession.
Working hard together, they finally broke through to Tunnel One Star around seven in the evening.
This was something Chen Tianlong had anticipated long ago. However, it was not over yet; breaking through to Tunnel One Star was just within Chen Tianlong’s own capability, but the Super Qi Gathering Pills hadn’t been used yet; Tan Tian intentionally left three for Li Bingshuang.
There’s no doubt that in the next two hours, Li Bingshuang endured pain and forgot about it in the process of continuous upgrading.
Watching Li Bingshuang, who had already reached Celestial Dao Two Star, Chen Tianlong excitedly hugged her, somewhat distressed seeing Li Bingshuang’s pain.
After Li Bingshuang was done upgrading, her body was completely exhausted. She simply leaned comfortably against Chen Tianlong’s chest, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
"Bingshuang, we’ve finally succeeded."
Chen Tianlong gently patted Li Bingshuang’s back, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Hmm." Li Bingshuang lifted her head, feeling happiness in Chen Tianlong’s affectionate gaze.
Around nine in the evening, everyone gathered in the hall, by then, they had mostly reached Celestial Dao One Star or above, while Lu Xiaoyu stood out, achieving Celestial Dao Five Star with two Super Qi Gathering Pills, shocking everyone.
"Oh yeah, now I’m the most powerful, haha."
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lin Wushuang’s Celestial Dao One Star and smiled smugly.
"Hmm, go ahead and boast, I’ll upgrade eventually and then you’ll see me outdo you." Lin Wushuang glared at Lu Xiaoyu, saying annoyed.
"La la la la, someone’s jealous, la la la la."
Lu Xiaoyu acted as if she hadn’t heard, humming a tune deliberately.
"Haha, seems everyone has succeeded. I looked at everyone’s power levels, mostly Celestial Dao One Star and Two Star, except Xiaoyu who is the strongest, breaking through to Celestial Dao Five Star. Anyhow, we’ve already met the requirements. Time is short, I’ve instructed Mengting to buy the tickets, tomorrow morning at nine-thirty we depart for the Celestial Pill Sect." Tan Tian laughed.
"Okay." The ladies responded in unison.
Time rewinds to five days ago.
Wu Hanfeng took his daughter Wu Mengting walking south. After spending two hours on the plane and another two hours climbing mountain roads, they finally arrived at the south bank of the Yellow River, Shaolin Temple.
The world’s martial arts come from Shaolin; in the world of cultivators, Shaolin is like a sacred temple and the only massive sect that cultivators dare not offend, a holy place.
Though Wu Jian is formidable, he is only about martial arts, while Shaolin Temple has a senior named Master Void, who has lived for over three hundred years and is revered as an Upper Immortal, unconcerned with worldly matters.
"Dad, why are we here?"
Wu Mengting looked at the three large characters "Shaolin Temple," stunned, not knowing what her father’s intentions were.
"To cure your illness! Your Demonic Qi can only be banished by Shaolin Temple’s Calm Heart Technique. If even the Calm Heart Technique cannot remove your Demonic Qi, then in this world, there’s no other way."
Wu Hanfeng had given Wu Mengting a heads-up, as he wasn’t entirely sure himself; only Master Void is considered sacred.
