Chapter 1957: Chapter 1954: Cultivation Mutation
"What’s the matter?" The two sisters asked in unison.
Lin Tian rubbed his brow, finding it difficult, "I can’t say for now, this matter is related to the Heavenly Mechanism."
Whether it’s the Heavenly Mechanism, Lin Tian didn’t know, but one of the matters involves collecting five major bloodlines, and one of them was his own blood. Would he tell the sisters that he is a zombie?
By now, the sisters were not completely unaware of the secrets of this world, including the Netherworld, vampires, and even zombies. They had either experienced or heard about them.
However, Lin Tian was unsure of what their reaction would be once they learned his identity.
"So mysterious, you’re becoming more like Lingyu," Xiao Manxuan gave Lin Tian a charming glance, feeling rather helpless.
"If you need my help, just ask," said Miss directly.
"If I go to the Ancient Martial World in the future, I’ll need you to be my guide," Lin Tian said frankly.
Miss paused for a moment with her chopsticks, looking a bit worried, "Last time, you offended so many families, the Ji Family, the Situ family, even the Qingshuang Pavilion. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to move around freely in the Ancient Martial World again."
Lin Tian raised his sword-like eyebrows, a hint of defiance in his eyes, his expression calm, "Whether I can move around is not for them to decide."
Miss looked helpless, her well-intended reminder seemingly futile, while Xiao Manxuan simply smiled, feeling that Lin Tian was just like that, as ungovernable as the wind.
"How long does Miss plan to stay at the school?" Lin Tian didn’t mind the matter of offending people and asked casually.
"I’ll leave tomorrow. I’ll find my master and see what she knows," Miss said earnestly.
Though Qingshuang Pavilion did not welcome Lin Tian, it didn’t mean they refused to acknowledge Miss. In a way, expelling Miss from her master also served to protect her.
In such circumstances, Qingshuang Pavilion had to provide an explanation to other families. If not expelled by the master, the consequences could be more serious, possibly life-threatening or involve the loss of martial arts skills.
Being expelled by her master only took away her status but preserved her life and martial arts. Generally, in the Ancient Martial World, those expelled usually had their martial arts skills abolished, but Miss did not. Qingshuang Pavilion was clearly protecting her.
Other families could see it, but as Qingshuang Pavilion had already made a gesture, the other families could not press too hard unless they wanted to break all ties, which, given Qingshuang Pavilion’s strength, they would not do lightly.
Still, since Miss was publicly expelled, it would definitely be awkward to seek her master’s help, something her pride would typically prevent her from doing. But to help Lin Tian, she was willing, showing she did so willingly.
Because she didn’t know that the Shennong Ding could help Xiao Manxuan resolve her alien energy, she thought it was Lin Tian who needed it.
The three of them talked and laughed during dinner. With the company of two beautiful women, Lin Tian found the meal quite enjoyable. After finishing, the sisters went to clean up the dishes and then dashed back to their boudoir to chat. As Miss put it, it was private talk that Lin Tian shouldn’t hear.
Lin Tian had no interest in eavesdropping, focusing on more important matters. These past few days at the Zhang Family, he had abandoned his cultivation technique to avoid triggering the grand Barrier. Lin Tian wanted to resume his cultivation practices so as not to lose control and resort to bloodsucking.
He went over each move of the Beast Skin Cultivation Technique in his mind, rediscovering the state of Unity of Heaven and Man before starting to cultivate again.
Though he hadn’t practiced in a while, his movements remained smooth, like flowing clouds and water. Finally, he sat cross-legged and formed seals with his hands at his Lower Elixir Field.
At the moment of forming the seals, the surrounding space seemed to quake, as moon-white Moonlight Energy rushed in from the window like a torrent, engulfing him.
The sudden change nearly shocked Lin Tian for an entire day. Fortunately, his will was as unwavering as rock, allowing him to maintain the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.
The shock came from the sheer abundance of Moonlight Energy tonight, many times more than usual. Lin Tian was sure the moon was no different from before, eliminating it as the cause.
If it wasn’t the moon, then the cause must be within himself. Lin Tian felt carefully within and finally realized the reason: his zombie body had strengthened, making him absorb Moonlight Energy more intensely.
The strengthening of his zombie body was entirely due to excessive lightning strikes at the Zhang Family, as his body had been simultaneously enhanced by electric energy, fire power, and Taiyin Xuan Qi.
Upon discovering this result, Lin Tian felt a surge of excitement, but quickly suppressed it, continuing to maintain the state of Unity of Heaven and Man and accelerating the absorption of Moonlight Energy.
Surrounded by Moonlight Energy, it was as if he were immersed in Moonlight Water. The energy permeated through the seven orifices of his head, every acupoint all over his body, thousands of pores, flowing to his internal organs, limbs, bones, and even every cell.
Lin Tian activated his super vision, and in the microscopic view of his vision, he saw the Moonlight Energy strengthening each cell. Meanwhile, the residual electric energy in his body gradually refined, being absorbed along with the Moonlight Energy.
Between his palms, besides being full of Moonlight Energy, miniature lightning began to flicker, tiny electric arcs moving across his palms like tamed thunder dragons. Deep within his eyes, purple electric light flickered, as if the Thunder God were descending.
As the Moonlight Energy was absorbed and the electric energy refined, the roaming lightning between his palms became more apparent, and his eyes turned deep purple, as if hiding a world of thunder and lightning.
Suddenly, there was a crisp crackling sound. The glass cups on the table and the balcony window glass developed a few cracks, which quickly multiplied. With a bang, all the glass shattered, spreading pieces all over the floor.
With her sharp senses, Miss immediately heard the unexpected sound from Lin Tian’s room and hurriedly ran over to knock on the door, "Lin Tian... what’s happening?" Her voice was quite anxious.
Lin Tian swiftly changed the seals, absorbing all the surrounding Moonlight Energy before slowly opening his eyes and completing his cultivation.
"Lin Tian..." This time, it was Xiao Manxuan calling, and the two sisters both seemed anxious.
Seeing the shattered glass everywhere, Lin Tian felt helpless and went to unlock the door. Seeing him, the two women breathed a sigh of relief at first, at least knowing he was fine. But then, noticing the sparkling glass shards on the floor, the two women’s brows furrowed.
"All the window glass is shattered. What happened?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.
Miss, however, seemed to sense something with her careful perception, "Such dense energy..."
"Ahem, I was a bit too forceful while cultivating," Lin Tian said ambiguously.
"You’ve never been like this before." Miss questioned in wonder; she had seen Lin Tian’s cultivation, but it had never been this intense.
Lin Tian gave a wry smile and extended his hand to the two women. With a thought, small lightning bolts appeared in his palm.
"This is... lightning!" The two women exclaimed, mouths agape. Had Lin Tian turned from an Ancient Martial Artist into a Demon Exorcist after his time at the Zhang Family?
