24: Chapter 24 Tang Qianqian 24: Chapter 24 Tang Qianqian All night long, Lin Tian spent his time cultivating in the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique, his Essence – Qi – Spirit in excellent condition, and he woke up early.
Stepping out of the room and seeing that Xu Tangge had not yet risen, he went to check the refrigerator in the kitchen only to find two cucumbers left.
Lin Tian, who had originally thought to make breakfast himself, immediately gave up on the idea and left the house to prepare for his morning run and cultivation.
This time, Lin Tian did not leave the Minghu Lakefront District; instead, he used Shadow Step and jogged to the edge of Ming Lake.
After all, accepting a high salary to become someone’s personal bodyguard meant he had to fulfill his duties on his first day, right?
Moreover, with so many experts around the villa, it seemed that the Xu Family’s enemies were certainly not simple.
Therefore, Lin Tian only went to the lakeside a few hundred meters away from the villa to cultivate.
If any formidable enemy approached and those lurking in the shadows could not handle them, he would be able to rush over in time.
The early morning at Minghu Lakefront was shrouded in mist, the environment serene, even though the Spiritual Energy was a bit scarce compared to what Lin Tian had experienced before at a recreational park not far away.
Nevertheless, Lin Tian sat down on the grass by the lake and began to circulate the Nine-Turned Three Life Technique.
Cultivating was like rowing upstream; if one did not advance, one would fall back.
Under any circumstances, one must not slacken, even if the Spiritual Energy was thin.
After an entire hour, Lin Tian looked inward and saw the True Qi Nebula within his Dantian grow slightly larger, and the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings within a hundred meters grew even thinner.
Only then did he stand up and stop his cultivation.
“Now that my Cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Second Layer, I should try to cultivate the second Combat Technique of the Immortal Martial Eighteen Forms—Sky Embracing Hammer!” he thought to himself, feeling the True Qi inside his body becoming even more robust while also recalling his past experiences with cultivating the Sky Embracing Hammer.
The Immortal Martial Eighteen Forms were Combat Skills that Lin Tian had used during his past life when he ascended to the Immortal Venerable level, and they were recognized as one of the strongest Combat Techniques in the Immortal Domain.
Particularly, the first nine forms were his main Combat Skills, with each punch and palm stroke capable of breaking the Void and causing the heavens and earth to change color.
Now, as Lin Tian set out to cultivate the Sky Embracing Hammer, with only the Qi Refining Second Layer level of Cultivation, even if he managed to force his way through, the power he could exert would not amount to even one-billionth of what he had in his past life.
Silently reciting the spell, Lin Tian moved with each punch and palm, each motion sweeping across the Void.
The force of True Qi surged mightily, each of his movements seemingly capable of enveloping a portion of the Void, bringing with it an imposing presence like Taishan bearing down, resembling the oppressive might of the heavens and the earth—vast and terrifying.
Reborn and cultivating once more, Lin Tian quickly reached the Small Success Realm in the Sky Embracing Hammer.
As long as he continued to cultivate or applied it in combat, reaching the Great Success stage was only natural.
After finishing cultivating, Lin Tian left Minghu Lakefront and bought two servings of steamed buns and soy milk at a street stand at the entrance of the district before heading back.
At this time, in No.8 Villa, another person had already appeared.
The newcomer was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a sleek ponytail, a delicate and lovely face, and a pair of large eyes full of vivacity and slyness.
Seeing the girl standing at the door, dragging a pile of luggage, Xu Tangge couldn’t help but support her forehead and sighed, “Tang Qianqian, have you lost your mind?
It’s so cold, and you’re wearing capri pants!”
Little Tangtang, just be jealous!” Tang Qianqian retorted arrogantly, raising her small face and dragging her luggage into the house.
As she looked around, she said, “I dressed today to move freely and teach that guy a lesson!
With me here, he’ll have to behave himself from now on!”
“I don’t know, his room was empty when I got up this morning, but his luggage is still there.”
Xu Tangge glanced at the room on the first floor and shook her head, wondering, “Where could he have gone so early?”
I bet he knew I was coming and got scared away!” Tang Qianqian boasted, “As for his luggage, it’s just a bunch of cheap clothes, not worth mentioning compared to the hundred thousand monthly salary Grandpa Yu gave him!
What a waste of my trip!”
As she spoke, Tang Qianqian stretched lazily, tossing her luggage aside, then sized up Xu Tangge with a mischievous look and laughed, “Little Tangtang, I’ve taken care of your problem, how are you going to thank me?”
Lin Tian was unaware that an extra person had arrived at home; carrying breakfast, he had just reached the doorstep, thinking that Xu Tangge was probably still asleep, and took out his keys to open the door.
“Why is there so much more stuff?”
Seeing the two suitcases’ worth of new luggage in the hall, Lin Tian was surprised.
From the look of the luggage, they likely belonged to a girl.
He set down the breakfast and checked the first floor.
Finding no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, upon opening the door to the room he stayed in, he saw Xu Tangge sitting on the sofa with a girl next to her throwing punches.
“Thief, how dare you spy on us!
I’m already at the Taekwondo Blue Belt Level, and I can take down three to five big men!” the girl suddenly shouted, her voice stern as she dashed towards Lin Tian with murderous intent.
