The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Advancing Step by Step

Sure, here’s the translated text:

After a sound sleep, Lin Tian woke up at seven the next day, stretching lazily, feeling extremely comfortable all over.

However... the meridians in his body were empty, devoid of Spiritual Qi, and even his Sea of Qi was the same, leaving only that Golden Core suspended inside, emitting a faint warmth like the sun.

"Ah~ there’s a long way to go!" Lin Tian murmured in sigh.

The meridians need nourishment before the Spiritual Qi in the Sea of Qi can be replenished again.

Lin Tian had no precise estimate of how long this process would take, half a month at least.

After putting on a coat and fluffy slippers and washing up, Lin Tian leisurely walked out of his room, soon catching the enticing aroma of breakfast.

Going downstairs, he saw Miaoqiu dressed in black yoga attire, showing off a voluptuous figure as she struck seductive poses on the yoga ball, almost making Lin Tian’s nose bleed.

Still too young, with vigorous energy.

"Why practice this when you could be training in martial arts?" Lin Tian teased with a sly smile. "Want me to teach you some moves, hands-on?"

"Sure, but wait until your body recovers. Don’t just limit it to here, we can do it in the kitchen or balcony, teach me anywhere." The fox-like woman flirted with a wink.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, almost acting on impulse, but reminded himself to restrain as his body needed healing.

"You’re awake? Come have breakfast." Bai Shishi, in a pink apron, wearing a voluptuous figure like a virtuous wife and loving mother, looked equally alluring.

"Coming." Lin Tian sat at the dining table, asking, "Where’s Ruyan? Hasn’t she gotten up yet?"

"She was up all night investigating those flowers." Miaoqiu spoke nonchalantly, holding a cup of hot milk. For low-level Martial Artists, a sleepless night hardly made any difference.

Just then, Mei Ruyan rushed through the door.

What surprised everyone was that behind Mei Ruyan was a woman in a trench coat, with a heavenly appearance and a fiery figure, a presence that turned heads.

"Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives." Miaoqiu asked with a smile, "How did it go?"

"Ask Aunt." Mei Ruyan coldly replied, placing a file on the table.

No mistake, the imposing woman following Mei Ruyan was Xu Xianrong, holding the mystical sword, Thousand Cyan Threads.

Though sheathed, the Thousand Cyan Threads had no Sword Qi, yet held by Xu Xianrong, it exuded magnificence, like a mere decoration. Yet how many knew this ’decoration’ was a treasure sword?

Lin Tian didn’t anticipate Xu Xianrong being dragged into this.

Xu Xianrong noticed Lin Tian’s surprised gaze, raising an eyebrow as she asked, "What’s this? Am I unwelcome?"

Lin Tian chuckled, "How dare I! Aunt’s visit to my place truly graces it! I’m honored enough as it is."

"Your flattery is quite poor!" Xu Xianrong commented mercilessly.

Lin Tian squinted and smiled, not taking offense.

"Who might this be?" Bai Shishi paused at the sight of Xu Xianrong, marveling at such a celestial being.

Then, contemplating further, she mused whether this woman and Lin Tian had a significant relationship, perhaps even a hidden romance, yet another love rival.

Not that Bai Shishi was jealous, it was how Lin Tian surrounded himself with beautiful women, their relations often ambiguous.

"This is my aunt." Mei Ruyan interposed, introducing them.

"So it’s Aunt, Ruyan’s aunt is mine too. Perfect timing, I’m making breakfast, join me for some."

Bai Shishi immediately realized her misunderstanding.

"Alright."

Xu Xianrong, unreservedly placing the Thousand Cyan Threads on the table, sat beside Lin Tian, saying, "Let me check your pulse."

"No..." Lin Tian began to decline, but halted seeing Xu Xianrong’s sharp gaze, as if the words ’no refusal allowed’ were written on her face.

Truly, how could one refuse such a celestial beauty?

Lin Tian placed his arm on the table, appearing entirely at her disposal.

Xu Xianrong extended her delicate hand, her slender fingers gently resting on Lin Tian’s wrist, assessing his pulse.

Xu Xianrong’s hand was relatively cooler, initially sending a slight chill when touching Lin Tian.

Moments later, Xu Xianrong withdrew her hand, her expression momentarily surprised.

"Last night, Ruyan mentioned you used that foolish method to expel something from your body, I was skeptical, but didn’t imagine it to be true. Seems your Spiritual Qi is truly peculiar." Xu Xianrong remarked in surprise.

Utilizing almost a hundred and fifty Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs for detoxification was indeed silly to Xu Xianrong, for she knew what it was, and elixirs alone wouldn’t suffice.

Lin Tian grinned, "Indeed it’s unique, otherwise I couldn’t have escaped this ordeal. Aunt, do you understand what it was?"

"Mm." Xu Xianrong nodded. "The reason cats and dogs, even that attendant suddenly went berserk, partially lies in the pollen concealed in those flowers. More precisely, it’s a powder of aphrodisiac worms, causing hallucinations and neural confusion. But compared to our Xu Family’s Charm Technique, theirs is inferior."

Miaoqiu let out a soft huh, asking, "But Shishi and her father didn’t practice Charming Skill nor were they trained in it, so why were they unaffected?"

"That I’m still unsure of, the opponent’s methods are yet unclear." Xu Xianrong replied, "Lin Tian’s injury is partly linked to the aphrodisiac worms’ powder, which is light and easily inhaled in the respiratory tract, spreading through the bloodstream. Yet, it shouldn’t cause reverse blood flow or qi stagnation, clearly indicating previous exposure to something else."

"The roses sold by the little girl!" Lin Tian blurted out, certain they were the cause!

One triggered and the other led, entering the body unsuspectingly.

"Whatever it is, your situation is extremely precarious now, the opponent is setting snares step by step, evidently someone’s targeting you. Additionally, after a night-time investigation, rumors of your serious injuries and future uselessness are spreading throughout the families, including the Wang Family. I suspect your enemies might know, perhaps watching to claim your life!"
