BLOODLINE TEMPERING: Transforming From Worm To Dragon

Chapter 77: Uncle Qin Tianbao

(What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?)

Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh.

This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued.

Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater.

Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique.

Although the difference between the third and fourth levels was merely a digit, the actual disparity between them was wider than the distance between the two riversides.

Flesh Tempering is strong, but only externally. Compared to the Bone Tempering Stage, it still lacks endurance and power. But this was something only those at the fourth level had access to.

(I can believe how obvious the difference was...)

(If my body was comparable to a tree bark before this, my current one should be similar to a densely woven tree trunk. It was no longer a skin that could be shredded but a living one...)

Chen Tu flexed his palm and gradually opened his eyes. Naturally, returning to his sense also made him smell the terrible stench coming from him. As the smell was too unbearable, Chen Tu quickly made his way to get cleaned and changed into a fresh set of clothing.

He obviously had no reason to cultivate anymore for tonight. But to consolidate his foundation at the fourth level, Chen Tu decided to take two more days of rest and stabilize his cultivation behind closed doors.

By the time he came out, Qin Lei had already returned from the Crimson Flame City.

"Brother Chen!" Qin Lei excitedly came to Chen Tu's side and hugged him. Apparently, the mood of his senior brother was extremely good. In addition, a middle-aged adult is coming at them after Qin Lei.

Based on his appearance, this senior is likely Qin Lei's father, also known as Qin Tianbao. He appeared like an older, much more mature version of Qin Lei.

Still, nothing is more surprising than his cultivation strength. Even from afar, Chen Tu could sense the cultivation strength of an early Golden Core Layer. It could be comparable to Chen Tian Peng's power, who was the father of Chen Zigang and patriarch of the Chen Clan.

"This must be uncle Qin. This junior is Chen Tu, the youngest junior disciple of the fourth elder, Wei Xuan. I am also the junior of senior brother Qin." Chen Tu respectfully greeted Qin Tianbao.

"Hahaha... Our house Xiao Lei had been talking about you nonstop from our way here. You're that Chen Tu?" Qin Tianbao seemed to have a favorable opinion of Chen Tu. After all, what kind of complaint could he have about the person who selflessly helped Qin Lei to accumulate enough Contribution Tokens for the Spiritium Velvet Antler?

He would be no different from an ungrateful animal if he had the guts to say anything negative after getting Chen Tu's help.

"Come here and let me have a good look at you. I want to see what kind of brother did my Xiao Lei found for himself." Qin Tianbao waved and urged Chen Tu to come closer. Naturally, he also called Qin Lei to come along.

"Let's go, brother Chen. My father is a very nice person." Qin Lei grabbed Chen Tu's hand and pulled him over to his father. It was only natural for them to make their way over because regardless of how powerful Qin Tianbao appeared, he was a senior with a prosthetic leg.

"Not bad. What a pair of clear eyes you had. From this uncle's life experience, I could see no mockery or pointless thought in your gaze. Also, if I'm not wrong, Xiao Lei told me that you had plenty of interest in Alchemy, am I correct?" Qin Tianbao asked.

"Yes, uncle Qin." Chen Tu politely replied.

"Good, good. Throughout my experience wandering outside, I came across a few good things. Since you have been helping this uncle so selflessly as well as treating Xiao Lei like a brother of yours, what about this uncle give you something as reward?" Qin Tianbao continued.

After speaking his mind, the senior reached into his inner pocket and took two manuals from there. Apparently, the manual wasn't made from paper but the leather of a Spiritual Beast. Perhaps, this was the reason why it was preserved till today.

"From what I was told, these two manuals were lower-Tiered Bronze Grade recipes. I believe it would be more useful in your hand, instead of mine." Qin Tianbao said and stuffed the two manuals into Chen Tu's hand.

Considering Qin Lei's father's enthusiasm, Chen Tu naturally wouldn't reject his kindness. After all, it would appear offensive instead if he refused the other party's goodwill.

"Chen Tu appreciates uncle Qin's kindness. In that case, allow this nephew to accept these two manuals with gratitude." Chen Tu nodded and bowed with the books placed close to his chest.

"Alright, the two of us still had to meet with some people in the grotto. Shall we meet again tonight for dinner? Allow this uncle to treat you again and express his gratitude one more time." Qin Tianbao said.

"Sure, uncle Qin. This nephew will be waiting here patiently for you and senior brother Qin's return." Chen Tu replied.

"Alright! That's a promise. Let's meet again later tonight at the canteen." The father and son pair left after finishing what they had in mind. As for Chen Tu, he naturally had something else to do. After all, didn't he have two more medicinal pill recipes to study?

(Hmm...)

Chen Tu grumbled as he looked at the name of the Medicinal Pill.

[Spring and Autumn Profound Pill]

[Lesser Vitality Pill]
