C3 I Was the One Who Sent It
"Second young master, what happened? Lee Huai and the other two... They were beaten up by you? "
The grey-robed elder who entered the room with Lee Aoxue suddenly asked. There was a complicated expression on his face.
The grey-robed elder, Lee Aotian, was no stranger to him. His name was Zhang Gui, and he was the head of the three stewards of Lee's Mansion.
Although he wasn't young anymore, Zhang Gui's cultivation level wasn't weak. He had already reached the Meditation Stage Level Nine, and was a slightly famous expert in Taiyi City.
It wasn't just Zhang Gui who was surprised. The beautiful woman in white standing beside him also felt the same way. However, she looked at Lee Aotian with a cold gaze.
This beautiful woman in white was called Lau Piaopiao. She was the wife of the master of Lee Family, Lee Junhao. She was also the mother of the current master of Lee's Mansion, First Madame and Lee Aoxue.
"I was the one who hit her. It was one thing for this fellow to poison me, but he actually came to see if I was dead or not and crippled me."
Facing Butler Zhang's question, Lee Aotian replied casually.
"Second brother... You... you can actually beat Lee Huai. How is this possible? He is a body refining seventh level cultivation level, plus he also has two servants." Lee Aoxue found it hard to believe.
"So what if he's body refining seventh level? Your second brother was poisoned and didn't die. He directly broke through to body refining ninth level because of misfortune. This is called breaking through and building a strong foundation." Lee Aotian said with a smile.
"Ninth level of Body Refining... Ninth level of Body Refinement... Oh my god, Second Young Master, you... This is too inconceivable."
The Divine Sense sensed Lee Aotian's body for a moment, and when Zhang Gui discovered that Lee Aotian's cultivation level had really reached the ninth layer of Body Refining Tier, he immediately opened his mouth wide in shock.
Although Lau Piaopiao's expression was not as exaggerated as Zhang Gui's, her eyes revealed a look of shock. Obviously, she did not expect that Lee Aotian, who had mediocre talent, would become a genius in an instant.
The sixth layer of Body Refining Tier at the age of eighteen and the ninth layer of Body Refining Tier were two completely different concepts.
The further one cultivated, the more difficult it would be. Without the accumulation of large amounts of spirit pills and medicines, to be able to reach the ninth level of Refinement at the age of eighteen, this kind of cultivation speed was extremely rare in the Taiyi City.
"Second Brother, you're really amazing. Lee Huai wanted to poison you to death, but he didn't think that it would instead push you to break through the cultivation level, and even break through three small realms in a row!"
Different from Lau Piaopiao and Zhang Gui's shock, Lee Aoxue did not think too much about it.
To her, her brother had been bullied by others in the past until now. This was the happiest thing.
"Second Young Master breaking through to the cultivation level is indeed a good thing, but... but this Lee Huai is after all the Great Elder's grandson and the Great Elder is very protective of him. I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle."
After a period of shock, Zhang Gui returned to normal and said with some difficulty.
"You are afraid that this matter will implicate all of you, right? Don't worry. I, Lee Aotian, am responsible for everything. If the Great Elder wants to cause trouble, just let him come and find me. I don't believe that he would shamelessly attack a junior like me! "
The corner of Lee Aotian's mouth curled up, and his face was filled with indifference.
"Butler Zhang, bring Lee Huai and the other two away. Also... send two trustworthy Silver-armored Guard here to protect the second young master. Also, give the second young master an advance of one year according to the standard of the family's grade 1 talent. "
Suddenly, Lau Piaopiao, who had not spoken since entering the house, opened her mouth and said something that Lee Aotian and the others did not expect.
"Ah... Oh, I understand."
Zhang Gui was obviously a little surprised, but he still nodded at Lau Piaopiao's order.
" Xue'er, come back with me. I have something to say to you. "
After greeting Lee Aoxue, Lau Piaopiao turned around and left the room. From beginning to end, she did not say a word to Lee Aotian.
"Liu, did you see that? Mother's attitude towards you has improved. Do your best!"
She made an encouraging gesture to Lee Aotian, then Lee Aoxue also quickly walked out of the room.
After Lau Piaopiao and Lee Aoxue left, Zhang Gui quickly called a few servants over and took Lee Huai and the other two away. Before leaving, he even specially left a package for Lee Aotian.
After closing the door, Lee Aotian opened the package that Zhang Gui left behind. In addition to the 12 white jade pill bottles, there were also 240 low-grade Essence Crystal inside.
Essence Crystal, this was a type of diamond-shaped crystal. Although it looked like it was only the size of an adult thumb, it contained extremely pure Yuan Qi.
The Essence Crystal could be used for cultivation, and its cultivation speed was much faster than simply absorbing Vital Energy of the Heaven and Earth. It was very popular in the Cultivation Realm, and it was also the currency of the Cultivation Realm.
According to the amount of Yuan Qi contained within it, the Essence Crystal was divided into four levels: Low, Middle, High, and Supreme. The exchange rate between each level was one to one hundred.
"It's true. In the past, when I was called trash... No matter how you look at me, I don't like it. I don't even care. Today, you are so generous to give me an advance of one year based on first grade aptitude. You're trying to show goodwill to me. "
Lee Aotian smiled and shook his head as he looked at the glittering pile of Essence Crystal in front of him. He then opened a white jade pill bottle that contained ten green colored medicinal pills the size of longans.
Lee Aotian was very familiar with the green colored medicinal pill. This was a Rank One Essence Cultivating Pill. After consuming it, one would be able to consolidate one's foundation and strengthen one's spirit. It was extremely expensive. In the past, he would only be able to obtain a bottle of this pill after half a year.
The Lee Family was one of the five great families in Taiyi City, and they had a lot of family members.
Because of the limited resources, the family members' monthly supply of resources was distributed according to their cultivation aptitude.
According to their cultivation aptitude, the Lee Family divided the younger generation into three grades.
The first grade cultivation aptitude was 20 Essence Crystal and a bottle of Energy Pill every month. The second grade cultivation aptitude was 10 Essence Crystal a month and a bottle of Energy Pill was received every three months.
Lee Aotian's previous aptitude was needless to say. He was listed as the lowest third grade and received a bottle of Essence Cultivating Pill every six months for 5 Essence Crystal a month.
Although he had more than 200 Essence Crystal and 12 bottles of Peiyuan Pill, Lee Aotian was not too surprised. In his past life, he was a Ancestor powerhouse, so this little thing was not worthy of his eyes at all.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lee Aotian once again focused his attention on the Destiny Bead in his dantian.
The Destiny Bead was the only thing that Lee Aotian had brought back from his previous life besides his memories. He tried to use the Divine Sense to check the Destiny Bead again, but this time, the Destiny Bead didn't move at all.
After failing his attempt at the Divine Sense, Lee Aotian tried to stimulate part of the Yuan Qi in his body and inject it into the Destiny Bead. However, the result was the same, there was no reaction at all.
After many attempts, Lee Aotian gave up. In fact, after he obtained the bead, he had studied it for seven days and seven nights, but he had not found anything.
No one in the East Barren Planet knew how to use the Destiny Bead. They only knew that there was a saying passed down from generation to generation: Those who wish to become an immortal will obtain the Heaven's Will, and those who obtain the Heaven's Will will will obtain the Heaven's Will.
After giving up on studying the Destiny Bead, Lee Aotian's main focus was on his next cultivation plan.
Besides one's innate talent, the most important thing in cultivation was the Vital Essence cultivation technique.
In the Cultivation Realm, cultivation methods were divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Each level was divided into four levels, high, low, and four levels. The higher the level of cultivation method, the more difficult it was to cultivate.
Of course, the higher the level of cultivation technique, the stronger one's strength would be in the same level. Generally speaking, one's future achievements would also be greater.
In his previous life, Dugu Aotian was a Innate Sword Body, a rare Sword Cultivator genius that was rarely seen in ten thousand years. As long as it was a divine ability related to Sword Cultivator, he would be able to learn it at a tremendous speed.
Relying on his astonishing talent, he finally gathered the strengths of the hundred families and created a peak Celestial Level sword technique.
According to Lee Aotian's thoughts, he was most suitable to choose Aotian's sword technique. After all, this technique was created by himself, and he was very familiar with it.
However, Aotian's sword art had a very high requirement for one's talent. With Lee Aotian's current body's talent, it would be difficult for him to cultivate it.
Cultivation talent did not only refer to one's comprehension ability, but also one's physique.
Some physiques were suitable for cultivation, such as metal, wood, water and fire; wind, thunder and ice; they were a single type of spirit body.
These people with spirit physiques were innately compatible with a certain attribute of Yuan Qi, thus being suitable for cultivation techniques of that attribute.
However, Lee Aotian's current body's natural endowment was really not good. Not to mention spirit physiques, it was not even at the average medium level, and was considered to be at the lower middle level.
"This terrible physique is a hard injury. If I can't solve this problem, I'm afraid I will have to take many detours in the future..."
The more he thought about it, the more he felt conflicted. Besides Aotian's sword technique, there were also a few Celestial Level cultivation techniques in the techniques that Lee Aotian knew.
However, these cultivation techniques had no exceptions. They all had very high requirements for one's talent. As for cultivation techniques below the Celestial Level, they were not worthy of Lee Aotian's eyes.
This was like a person who was used to eating delicacies, and suddenly asked him to only eat steamed buns, but he did not lack money.
"The one who obtains the heaven's mandate... is the heaven's mandate! The one who obtains the heaven's mandate... is the heaven's mandate!"
While his heart was in a dilemma, the Destiny Bead in Lee Aotian's dantian suddenly lit up with a glaring golden light. Following that, an ancient voice rang out in his mind.
