Tealwood looked up at the huge group of Magical Beasts that had come to watch. “Are you all done watching? If you’re done, you can leave now.”
He unleashed the authoritative pressure of a Sacred Beast. Some low-level Magical Beasts couldn’t hold up against it, while the high-level ones were trying their best to hold their ground. But none of them walked away. Their legs were still firmly rooted to the ground.
A black Thunder Cloud Leopard at Level Five Preliminary Phase roared loudly at Tealwood in a high voice, “Wolf King! Please be our king!” Then it bowed its gigantic head.
When the other Magical Beasts saw this, they too, roared loudly, “Our almighty king!”
Tealwood just watched this sudden turn of events quietly. Nobody knew what he was thinking, but the other Windblast Wolves were shocked by this.
However, they soon calmed back down. After all, their leader was now a Sacred Beast, and his prowess was beyond compare. It wasn’t strange for him to become the king of Langya Magical Beast Forest.
While all the Magical Beasts were nervously waiting for Tealwood to respond, Tealwood finally spoke after a few moments, saying, “Are all of you sincere in crowning me as your king?”
All the Magical Beasts roared in unison, “Yes!”
The Thunder Cloud Leopard quickly added, “You are the only one who is eligible to be king in all of Langya Magical Beast Forest. You are the strongest among all of us! All of us are willing to surrender to you!”
Tealwood paused for a moment and looked at all of them. He nodded after a while. “Alright then! Since that’s the case, I will agree to this. From now on, I will be the one who protects Langya Magical Beast Forest. But if I find out that anyone has betrayed me… don’t blame me for getting nasty!”
His gaze was sharp as his eyes swept across all the Magical Beasts lying prostrate before him and unleashed his Sacred level authoritative pressure once more.
All the Magical Beasts felt their hearts tremble under the weight of that authoritative pressure, but they were not afraid. Instead, they called out even more resolutely, “Long live the almighty king!”
Tealwood looked up at the moon in the sky, then turned to glance at the cave entrance that was about a hundred meters behind him. He didn’t want his level up process earlier to affect Qingcheng inside the cave, so he purposely moved a little further away.
He didn’t know whether she had successfully purged the poison within her or not. He knew very well that he and the other Windblast Wolves had all managed to level up because of her, but now he had to wait until tomorrow to ask her instead.
He kept his thoughts away and turned back.
Tealwood’s slight movements were all noticed by the two men hiding in the trees.
Tealwood waved his hands at the crowd of Magical Beasts. “Alright now, all of you can go back first, since there’s nothing else. If there’s anything, I will call for all of you.”
After the Magical Beasts bowed to him again, they all left with excited and joyful hearts.
“Young Master, I’ll go inside and take a look!” said the man in a black bodyguard uniform. His features were pleasant, and he was pretty good looking, but it was a pity that he was expressionless and appeared too stern.
“No need, I’ll go myself.” The other man disappeared immediately after he spoke.
Tealwood only turned around again after all the Magical Beasts had left, and he didn’t notice that someone had already gone into the cave. Since the man was able to enter the cave without the Sacred Level Preliminary Phase Tealwood catching him, it meant that he was at an even higher level of cultivation.
Tealwood didn’t know anything at all, so he just looked back at Xiaojiu and the other 19 Windblast Wolves. “Not bad, you’ve all leveled up. I’m sure all of you are wondering about how it happened, so I won’t talk about it. We’ll know once she comes out, so we must guard the outside of the cave well. You hear me?”
Xiaojiu and the rest suppressed their excitement and replied, “Yes, boss!” All of them crouched outside the cave entrance and worked on stabilizing their cultivation level.
Inside the cave, a tall man in an embroidered robe was walking leisurely towards the back of the cave as if it was his own home.
The area he had just walked past was the formation of stones that Qingcheng had set up. However, he stepped over it like it wasn’t even there. If Qingcheng had seen this, she would probably have felt very upset.
Qingcheng had endured six hours of suffering, and she had now undergone a complete transformation. Her meridian channels were all sorted out, her bones had been reshaped, and after her skin cracked, it had fallen off her. It was replaced by new skin that was as soft and fair as a baby’s skin.
The bathtub that was originally emanating Spirit Qi everywhere no longer had any Spirit Qi left. The Sacred Spirit Spring water had turned into a dark and foul-smelling filthy pool of water.
Everything had ended… she couldn’t stand this smell anymore.
Splaaaash.
She stood up and got out of the bathtub, but after standing up, she realized that her initial tiny body of around three feet six inches tall had actually grown to approximately four feet nine inches or so. Her flat chest had also changed. It wasn’t a D like what she had in her previous life, but at least it was an A now. She was still growing anyway, so there was no hurry.
After getting out of the bath, she emptied the tub of filthy water into the interspace and used her thoughts to move it into a corner there. She then refilled the bathtub with Sacred Spirit Spring water, but this time, she filled it until it was three-quarters full.
When she sat in the water again, what face did Qingcheng see inside the clear water of the bathtub this time?
After she had used the Sacred Spirit Spring water to wash away the filth on her body, her poisoned, scarred, and yellowish skin had now become clear, fair, and smooth, like a freshly peeled hardboiled egg.
Under the light of a luminous rock, the face she saw in the water was oval-shaped with a clean forehead, neatly curved eyebrows, phoenix-shaped eyes that were as bright as the stars, a sharp and high nose, red lips, and straight teeth. This face was gorgeous enough to mesmerize a nation.
But Qingcheng was terribly familiar with this face in the water. That was because this face was 80% similar to her face in her previous life. It was actually pretty much identical to her face in her previous life, except that this face looked younger.
She didn’t understand why this body looked identical to her previous self when only her soul had been transmigrated.
She had questions on her mind, but she didn’t have any answers, so she had to put those thoughts away for the moment. She sat cross-legged in the water and tried to cultivate using the techniques that the original owner of this body had seen before.
Firstly, she had to sense the Spirit Qi around her, then slowly absorb all of it into her body. The Spirit Qi would travel through her meridian channels and gather within her dantian and be stored.
If she wanted to level up, she had to make sure that her dantian was completely filled with Spirit Qi. The Spirit Qi she absorbed would automatically be compressed and stored within the dantian.
Once the dantian was completely full and on the verge of bursting, she would automatically level up. Every time she went up by one tier, the storage capacity of her dantian would increase. Every time she went up by one level, her dantian would double in size. Then when she reached Nascent level, it would become a super compressed mini version of herself.
This mini version of herself would be like a second life to her. If her physical body did not die, and this nascent soul was not damaged, then it could leave the physical body for a period of time and continue to cultivate.
But when she looked inside her dantian now, she realized that it had gone from being a ball the size of a thumb to twice the size of a pigeon’s egg.
She was taken by surprise. The Spirit Qi from the five Crimson Fruits that she ate earlier hadn’t been absorbed by the dantian, but it was stored within her body. Later, she drank a bottle of Sacred Spirit Spring water and soaked herself in an entire tub of the water as well…
All the Spirit Qi had gone into her body, flowed along her meridian channels, and automatically went into her dantian. It helped that Qingcheng’s meridian channels were now three times wider than others after the process she had undergone.
Otherwise, if she took in so much Spirit Qi at once, her meridian channels would have burst, and she would have died. Right now, she had already reached Spiritualist level Tier Nine.
