Chapter 65: Reunion with Tian Tian

Shi Man and Xu Daoyan stood face to face. His heavy breathing hit Shi Man's face, making her heart race without her realizing it.

"How can I speak when you're pressing me like this?" Although Shi Man's face was covered with a white veil, she did not look directly at Xu Daoyan. Their bodies were almost pressed together, and she lowered her eyelids, looking to the side.

Only then did Xu Daoyan realize the situation and quickly stood up, stepping back to one side. He used the Spring Rain to repair his damaged lungs.

Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough, and his lungs had been tempered many times. Otherwise, they might have been shattered. It had to be said, Shi Man's attack was particularly fierce!

"Excuse me!" Xu Daoyan apologized with a bow.

"It's fine. You should first heal yourself. Once you're better, I'll give you some advice!" Shi Man's voice became much gentler. Initially, she just wanted to teach Xu Daoyan a lesson, but she didn't expect that despite her being one realm higher, she had lost. Especially her last move, which stirred a great wave in her heart.

Xu Daoyan sat cross-legged and began to heal himself. After a quarter of an hour, his lungs were completely repaired. This battle had given him a lot of combat experience and some small insights. He realized that sometimes he needed to gain experience through combat, not just through endless cultivation!

"Master Daoyan, please demonstrate your techniques for me to observe!" Shi Man carefully watched Xu Daoyan.

"Alright, this is the Spring Rain!" Xu Daoyan guided raindrops into Shi Man's body, repairing the minor injuries she had sustained.

This rich vitality surged into her body, quickly healing her wounds and even enhancing her strength.

"This is the Heart Fire Fist!" Xu Daoyan summoned the fire from his heart, concentrating it in his hand, and struck with a punch, flames surging forth.

With a loud boom, it hit the stone wall and dissipated, leaving a small mark. His current strength was insufficient to cause significant damage to the stone wall.

"The others are the Body Tempering Technique, Bone Tempering Technique, and Body Tempering Technique, which have made my physical strength what it is now!" Xu Daoyan demonstrated each technique, but he still held back, as Shi Man could not be fully trusted.

"Liver belongs to Wood, Heart to Fire, Lungs to Metal, Spleen to Earth, and Kidneys to Water. You cultivate your internal organs, from the inside out, with profound and intricate effects. Now that you have reached the bottleneck of the Five Organs realm, you have no idea how to advance to the next realm. Can you tell me what changes will occur in your body in the next realm?" Shi Man asked.

"I'm not sure how to explain it. My master said that after cultivating the Five Organs to a flawless state, it would be the second realm, where the qi spirals like a vortex. But I don't fully understand it!" Xu Daoyan shrugged. He still needed to figure it out himself.

"Qi spirals like a vortex? That's not enough information. Although I don't know how to help you break through, I know what you need. To reach the Human Immortal realm, you need to continuously accumulate and expand your own capacity to hold more power. I suggest you buy high-grade Gold Immortal Stone, high-grade Water Immortal Stone, high-grade Earth Immortal Stone, high-grade Fire Immortal Stone, and high-grade Wood Immortal Stone. Using these to temper your Five Organs, you might naturally break through to the Human Immortal realm!" Shi Man spoke cautiously, and Xu Daoyan found her advice reasonable.

"How much does one pound of high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stone cost?" he asked.

"Fifteen thousand Immortal Coins, but with your Stone Dragon Token, it's ten thousand!" Shi Man's words shocked Xu Daoyan.

"That means one pound of high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stone is equivalent to ten million taels of gold!" Xu Daoyan's eyes twitched, not expecting the Immortal Stones to be so expensive!

"That's right. These high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones are refined by strong individuals, providing the energy for cultivation. You'll find that using high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones to temper your Five Organs and accumulate their power will make your abilities even more different!" Shi Man explained seriously.

"Fine, give me two hundred pounds of each. I can only try this way now." Xu Daoyan still had fourteen million Immortal Coins, and keeping the money was useless. Exchanging it for high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones would greatly help his cultivation.

Shi Man took out the stones from her ring. The gathering of so many Five Elements Immortal Stones infused Xu Daoyan's body with a surge of Five Elements energy, making him feel extremely comfortable and refreshed, as if his Five Organs were rejoicing!

"It seems I'm on the right track. I'll go back and try it out!" Xu Daoyan took out ten million Immortal Coins. No matter what, he would go back and study how to break through. In cultivation, others can only provide advice; ultimately, it depends on oneself.

Even if Shi Man could help him break through this realm, what about the next one?

Relying on others would create a dependency, and Xu Daoyan knew this was not good.

Putting one thousand pounds of high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones into his spatial ring, Xu Daoyan thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have high-grade Yin Immortal Stones?"

With Qin Han, Bai Shi, and Zhang Chao now at the Ghost Immortal realm, if they could cultivate with high-grade Yin Immortal Stones, they could advance to the Earth Immortal realm sooner!

"Of course!" Shi Man was taken aback. These were used for cultivating the soul, mainly for ghosts and Yin-Yang practitioners.

"Alright, give me four hundred pounds!" Xu Daoyan used the remaining money to buy Yin Immortal Stones, as keeping it was useless.

"Sure!" Although Shi Man didn't know his purpose, she had to comply.

After receiving everything, Xu Daoyan, now penniless again, bowed and said, "Miss Xiaoman, farewell!"

Shi Man nodded and smiled, "Master Daoyan, I'll see you off."

She led Xu Daoyan out of the training room to the teleportation room and sent him away.

A flash of light, and Xu Daoyan walked on the path of the Tian Shi Manor. Shi Man looked at the empty teleportation room, feeling a sense of loss.

She touched her neck, recalling every move Xu Daoyan had made. A moment of absent-mindedness made Shi Man feel a bit resentful, and she sighed, "He's not too bad, but I need to stop Hong'er!"

However, it was too late. Xu Daoyan's name, now residing in the Tian Shi Manor, was already spreading throughout the city. There were likely countless noble heirs challenging him!

Xu Daoyan returned to the Tian Shi Manor and walked to the entrance of the palace, only to find two people sitting in the stone pavilion, which surprised him.

"Mr. Gao, isn't this Tian Tian?"

"What? You don't recognize me after a few days? Xu Daoyan, you were supposed to be my guard, but you left without permission. You didn't even return to Youzhou with Master, and now I have to come here to find you?" Tian Tian, seeing Xu Daoyan, was furious and started to threaten him.

"Wait, Tian Tian, why do you have so much beard now?" Xu Daoyan, amazed by Tian Tian's new mustache, ignored her outburst, causing her threats to fail.

"You fool!" Tian Tian tore off the mustache, revealing her handsome appearance again. She was both amused and angry by Xu Daoyan's question: "I'm in disguise, don't you understand?"

"I understand. Thank you, Tian Tian, for saving me. I am a Stone Dragon Guard, and since you've returned to Youzhou, I should report back to the camp!" Xu Daoyan was very polite, bowing deeply.

"Without me, you'd still be herding sheep on the Xiongnu grasslands. What camp and what report?" Tian Tian said irritably.

"Thank you, Tian Tian, for saving me. I will repay you in the future. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my cultivation!" Xu Daoyan, having just found the feeling to advance to the Human Immortal realm, was eager to start and didn't care about Tian Tian's mood.

"Again, a cultivation fanatic!" Tian Tian rolled her eyes, dissatisfied. "What, are you already giving us the boot, telling us to leave?"

"Of course not. Please do as you please. This is your territory, not mine. You can come and go as you please, and I can't stop you." Xu Daoyan was taken aback. In his view, Tian Tian was of noble birth, and her father was the ruler of Youzhou, so the Tian Shi City was under his jurisdiction, allowing her to come and go freely.

"Let's not talk about cultivation for now. I have a few questions for you!" Tian Tian closed her fan and lightly tapped it against her palm.

"Hey, why are you all standing? Come, come, come, sit down. I'll serve you tea. Let's talk calmly!" Gao Ziqi, standing nearby, was cheerful, his curiosity burning, and even the nearby maidservants were amused.

Xu Daoyan was taken aback but followed Tian Tian's order, sitting down in the stone pavilion, serious: "Tian Tian, please speak. I will answer truthfully!"

"Did you attend the Feiyan Pavilion's marriage selection?" Tian Tian stared directly at Xu Daoyan.

"Ah? No, I was busy organizing the battlefield and escorting civilians to Shiyun Town. I didn't have the time." Xu Daoyan shrugged.

"Then what's going on with you and Shi Man? Tell me!" Tian Tian was even more furious. If he didn't attend, how could they be so intimate? There must be something going on, but she couldn't show it, so she just asked.

"Uh? It's like this..." Xu Daoyan explained the situation in detail and took out a few high-grade Five Elements Immortal Stones: "These are the ones I just bought from her!"

"Oh, really?" Tian Tian asked skeptically.

"Of course!" Xu Daoyan was very serious.

"I see..." Tian Tian smiled brightly, her previous gloom dissipating. Gao Ziqi, standing nearby, was speechless. With his experience, he could imagine Shi Man's psychological changes and sighed, "Ah, Xu Daoyan, you don't understand women. In that situation, you should have taken the initiative!"

"Master Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you!" A maidservant spoke up.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xu Daoyan was taken aback.

"Inside the Tian Shi Manor, noble heirs are challenging you to a duel!" The maidservant clearly knew the situation was not good.

(Notice: To make it easier for more readers, I have adjusted the lifespan before the Human Immortal realm, removing the lower, middle, and upper grades. I have also refined the emotional parts between Bai Yan and Xu Daoyan. If you have the patience, you can read it from the beginning again. It should be much better. Don't forget to like it!)
