Road to Be the God

Chapter 67 The Eighth Layer of Body Cultivation

In the afternoon, the sky was still bright, and the hot sun had not yet set.

At this time, a shout swept across the whole Fengjian City.

"The Xiao family is mean and shameless. The master of the Lin family helped Xiao Nan earn his family property, but the ungrateful Xiao Nan cheated him out of his family assets! As his old friend, I've owed gratitude to the Lin family. Now that the Xiao family perishes, we, the Qin family will help the Lin family operate their properties. These properties are still owned by the Lin family and the Qin family only helps manage them! Welcome everyone in the world to supervise us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole Fengjian City fell into an uproar.

"What's going on? The Xiao family...perishes?"

"How is that possible!"

"That is Fengjian City's richest business family. How can it be destroyed so easily?"

"You don't say!"

"Who's spreading rumors in the name of the Qin's family? He is too bold."

Everyone was surprised.

In Fengjian City, few people believed the announcement, but still, many people came to the Xiao's mansion to check it out. And then, these people saw the servants of the Qin family go in and out of the Xiao's mansion. They were moving a lot of things out.

"This..."

"Why are the servants of the Qin family in Xiao's mansion? Is the announcement...true?"

"Is the Xiao family really destroyed?" Many people were shocked.

"What's wrong with that? The man over there is a young master of the Xiao family, isn't he? Why is he so down?"

"Another member of the Xiao's family over there. He is carrying a package?"

"Are they...driven out?" Lots of people widened their eyes with astonishment.

Later, when they saw Qin Luo walked into the Xiao's mansion, no one doubted it anymore.

The Xiao family indeed perished unknowingly!

"The Xiao family has perished suddenly. The Qin family must have hidden its light under a bushel."

"I agree. Come to think of it, the Qin family's obedience to the Xiao family for years must be in preparation for today! Nobody knows how much they have done on the sly."

"But he says, he just helps the Lin family manage the properties for gratitude to Lin?"

"Do you believe that? The Xiao family said the same before."

"It's just an excuse in the name of the Lin family. Whatever, let them be. It doesn't have anything to do with us anyway."

A lot of people talked about it.

On this day, in the blink of an eye, the news of the collapse of the Xiao family went viral throughout every corner of Fengjian City, surprising various forces in the city.

In the Treasure Trading Pavilion, Xing Yao's and Pu Shi's eyes sparkled.

Xing Yao thought for a moment and said, "That boy said he had something to do, and a few hours later, the Xiao family was destroyed. Did he do that? Mr. Pu, what do you think?"

With both hands behind, Pu Shi said, "The Xiao family is negligible, but an ordinary man can't annihilate it in such a short time. At least, before the destruction, the news would spread out. However, a formation master is likely to make it. After all, they have lots of means!"

"You mean you agree with me?" Xing Yao said.

Pu Shi nodded, "As you said before, that young man seems to have a feud with the Xiao family. So, it must be him. Except for him, in this Fengjian City, no one can do this so secretly. The Qin family absolutely cannot do it. The Qin family should be that boy's nominal spokesman."

"It's interesting. I like this young guy even more now." Xing Yao squinted.

...

Despite the uproar in Fengjian City, Lin Tian had returned to his residence in Martial Institution.

"I shall practice faster," Lin Tian spoke to himself.

Lin Tian was happy with the destruction of the Xiao family, but he would not forget his marital cultivation for that. He came to the Top Pavilion, began to paint the Energy-Gathering Formation Pattern, and soon he finished three. Now he was a level-three formation master, so it was a piece of cake for him to draw Energy-Gathering Formation Pattern.

After engraving the patterns, Lin Tian did not immediately start cultivating but got out of the Top Pavilion for a good rest.

On this day, he had battled with Zhan Feng and the others, and then ran to the Treasure Trading Pavilion and the Xiao's Mansion. He was a little tired. It was about three hours before midnight. He decided to get up to practice the Siji Scriptures at midnight when the sky was starry. That was the best timing to practice the Siji Scriptures.

"Brother, the meal is ready. Do you want to eat now?"

He was walking down the Top Pavilion when he heard Lin Xi's voice.

Lin Tian delayed his plan for rest when he heard Lin Xi's voice. He smiled and walked over.

The small wooden table in the middle of the room was filled with chicken soup, vegetables and rice, which were steaming. Lin Tian walked over to sit down. Since he earned his first sum of spiritual coins with the martial integrating formation pattern, their life had been much better off than before. And thanks to Lin Xi's good cooking, they enjoyed their daily meals very much.

"Xi, the Xiao family has collapsed," Lin Tian said with a smile.

For two years, Lin Xi had been oppressed by the Xiao family and thus suffered many grievances. He wanted to make Lin Xi happy.

"Okay." Lin Xi nodded and served a bowl of soup to him.

"Okay?" Lin Tian stared at Lin Xi curiously. Was that all?

Lin Xi looked around confusedly and said, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Tian was lost for words for a moment and then he said, "Nothing, nothing." Looking at this well-behaved little girl, Lin Tian finally realized that Lin Xi had not cared about these things, which made him feel a little sad. He believed that an eye for an eye while Lin Xi's soul was pure without being influenced by these feuds.

After a pause, he softly said, "Xi, are you happy with our life here?"

"Yes. I am happy with anywhere as long as I'm with you." Lin Xi nodded with her face full of sweet smiles, but then she whispered, "It's just that you are too busy..."

Lin Tian was a bit stunned first and then felt a little guilty.

Recently, he did seldom accompany Lin Xi, or not at all. As her brother, he should not have done that. After all, they were the only family member to each other.

"I'm sorry, Xi," Lin Tian gently rubbed Lin Xi's head and said, "Wait for me. After I settle everything down, I will take you out for fun, OK?"

Now he was still not strong enough to walk out of Martial Institution. After all, the Mo family was keeping an eye on him. In addition, the duel with Zhou Hao would come in a month. Before that, he must work hard to improve his cultivation level. Thus, considering the reasons above, he wouldn't have time for Lin Xi, at least not in the following month.

"Really?" Lin Xi said with surprise.

"Of course. I will never lie to you." Lin Tian laughed.

Lin Xi was happy. After thinking for a while, she said, "Lying to others is not good, either."

Lin Tian smiled at her words.

After the meal, Lin Tian let Lin Xi go to rest while he himself cleaned up the dishes before returning to the room for sleeping.

Darkness soon enveloped the earth and shortly, the stars flashed in the sky. As time went on, the stars increased and the starlight thickened, shrouding the whole sky.

Lin Tian woke up and stretched himself a little before going to the Top Pavilion.

Looking at the starry sky, Lin Tian opened an energy-gathering formation pattern scroll. After a deep breath, he began to run up the Siji Scriptures. When he guided the star power and spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his internal organs with his energy forces, the severe pain struck him as usual. However, having experienced such pain several times, Lin Tian had been rather calm now.

"Buzz!"

The faint silver flickered, and gradually, thunder growled out of his body.

Lin Tian bore the pain of the body cultivation without groaning. He ran repeatedly the Siji Scriptures. He didn't stop until the early morning. He walked down the Top Pavilion and washed up. Then after a two-hour rest, he returned to the Top Pavilion for cultivation.

In the daytime, the stars were gone so he had to cultivate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

So, time elapsed and soon, three days had passed.

During these three days, except for rest and dinner time, Lin Tian spent the rest time practicing the Siji Scriptures in the Top Pavilion. It was very boring but this was what cultivation was.

If one wanted to be strong, how could he be afraid of the boredom?

"Boom!"

On this day, inside the Top Pavilion, a rush of splendid air emerged.

A beam of silver light shone the dark pavilion in a flash, and soon faded away.

Lin Tian stood up, gently made a fist, and cracked his knuckles.

"Finally, I am at the eighth layer of body cultivation!" Lin Tian spoke to himself.

Half a month ago, he was at the peak of the seventh layer of body cultivation. Now, it was quite normal that he could reach the eighth layer of body cultivation after three days of tedious cultivation. In addition, in this process, energy-gathering formation pattern had also played a key role because it sped up his cultivation, at least twice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been at the eighth layer of body cultivation so soon.

Holding the fists again, Lin Tian felt the body full of strength with more powerful heartbeats and smoother breathing. He did a small experiment. When he was at the seventh layer of body cultivation, he could hold his breath for fifteen minutes. Now that he was at the eighth layer of body cultivation, he could do that for thirty minutes, which suggested that his inner breath storage was twice as large!

Closely related to the internal organs of the human body, the larger the inner breath storage was, the longer he could battle. That was to say, having reached the eighth layer of body cultivation, he was now twice more powerful than when he was in the seventh layer!

"The eighth layer of body cultivation, well, it's time to pick my advanced combat craft," Lin Tian spoke to himself.

In fact, he was able to pick an advanced combat craft in Martial Scriptures Pavilion when he was at the seventh layer of body cultivation, but he was held up by something. He stood up and straightened his clothes. After that, Lin Tian walked down the Top Pavilion and came to the Disciple Pavilion with his jade pendant of identity. Under the guidance of the Disciple Pavilion's deacon, he updated his identity information.

Then he came to Martial Scriptures Pavilion.

"The eighth layer of body cultivation?"

Having taken Lin Tian's jade pendant of identity, the Elder of Martial Scriptures Pavilion checked it with his energy. Then he was surprised and looked up and down at Lin Tian. The last time when Lin Tian came here to choose a combat craft, he was at the fifth layer. Now, only two months later, Lin Tian reached the eighth layer. Such a speed of cultivation amazed the Elder.

"Good job! You are indeed a genius with nine-star talent!" The Elder looked at Lin Tian with appreciation and approval. He handed back Lin Tian's jade pendant of identity and said, "Go to the second floor. You can choose the advanced combat craft as you like. Take your time. You can stay as long as you want."
