Chapter 64: Stubbed Toe
Tang Yin remained extremely vigilant after he left the auction site, he circled around various places within Maple Leaf City for many hours. Once he determined he wasn’t being followed by anyone including the Nie family’s Patriarch, Tang Yin returned to the inn.
Once Tang Yin entered the room, Xiao Fei lunged at him. "Master, your finally back, what took so long?" Xiao Fei asked with worry and delight. She was delighted that Tang Yin had returned but was worried that he had encountered some unexpected trouble.
"It was nothing, I just met someone unexpected." Tang Yin replied vaguely. ’Looks like I will have to speed up my plan to destroy the Shan family.’ Tang Yin had attracted a lot of attention, or more accurately the ’Master’ behind him.
It would not be long before the other 2 main families in Maple Leaf City discovered the existence of the ’Master’ and tried to actively search for him whether it was for good or bad intentions.
’I need to stall for time and try to respond to the Nie family’s invitation as late as possible.’ Tang Yin sat down on the bed and contemplated the big picture.
The Nie family had not leaked the existence of the mysterious ’Master’ behind him. This was because if they leaked the existence of the ’Master’, there would be more competition in an attempt to recruit this mysterious person. Not only would the Nie family have to offer more resources and a higher position, but they would also have to meet every demand of this mysterious ’Master’.
However, since there was nobody else trying to recruit the ’Master’ behind Tang Yin, the Nie family wanted to obtain this person at as low of a price as possible.
If Tang Yin declined the invitation of the Nie family straight away, the Nie family would not bother to hide his existence anymore. Before long, the Mo and Shan families would find out about the ’Master’ and try their best efforts to find and recruit this person. This was very disadvantageous for Tang Yin, he needed to keep a low profile and destroy the Shan family overnight.
’Looks like I’ll need to become poor again’ Tang Yin thought with a bitter smile, time was no longer on his side. Tang Yin brought out all of his Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 80+ Spirit Stones with a shiny glow appeared in front of Tang Yin.
When Xiao Fei saw this, her breathing quickened. She looked towards Tang Yin with teary eyes, Tang Yin noticed her expression and knew she was asking for Spirit Stones.
Tang Yin sighed, he took a Mid-grade Spirit Stone and tossed it to Xiao Fei. An expression of delight and flattery appeared on her face. Tang Yin did not bother with her anymore, he picked up 2 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and activated his Heaven Devouring Abyss.
Tang Yin restricted the size of the Heaven Devouring Abyss, if he made his Martial Spirit appear in complete form, the whole inn would be shredded to pieces.
Tang Yin rapidly absorbed the Mid-grade Spirit Stones in his hands, within a few breaths, the Spirit Stones turned to dust and scattered away. Tang Yin repeated this cycle until he ran out of Spirit Stones.
Tang Yin rampantly circulated the Abyss Qi throughout his body, and although this was dangerous, his cultivation skyrocketed. Tang Yin spent a whole week until he finally reached the peak of the 5th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm.
Tang Yin immediately started the reconstruction process, he had thought about it for a moment and decided to go through the reconstruction in his room.
The first reason was that he did not take the Body Strengthening Pill, so he would not need to endure double the pain or time. The second reason was that he believed his willpower was enough for him to bear through the pain without screaming his lungs out. The third reason was that Xiao Fei was extremely strong, even if the Nie family Patriarch decided to attack him, he would be held back for a long time. Enough for Tang Yin to complete the reconstruction process and advance to the next stage.
Before starting the reconstruction process, Tang Yin sent a thought to Xiao Fei. She immediately become extremely vigilant and constantly kept a lookout over the inn.
minutes into the reconstruction process, the faint sounds of creaking bones and torn fresh echoed in the room. Tang Yin felt a large amount of pain and even his forehead was covered in sweat. Yet, he did not let out a single sound. His willpower was extremely sturdy and unbreakable, he could easily endure through this pain.
Another 2 minutes passed; Tang Yin was letting out low growls. The pain had almost made him scream out like in the past, but he only needed to endure for a minute longer. Tang Yin did his best to suppress his screams, with only a few seconds left of the reconstruction process, Tang Yin let out an agonized roar.
The roar was loud and resounded throughout the whole inn, a few breaths later, the roar ceased. Tang Yin was covered in sweat, and he felt as if his blood was boiling.
"Sir, is everything alright?" The voice of the innkeeper seeped through Tang Yin’s door. "Everything is fine, I just stubbed my toe." Tang Yin made up a random excuse and dismissed the innkeeper.
The aura of a 6th stage Physique Transformation Realm cultivator radiated off Tang Yin, he had successfully advanced. Xiao Fei also relaxed from her super-alert state.
