Chapter 31 - Spirit Liquid

Tang Lingling proceeded to carry Lee Tao for another hour or so until they finally arrived at the pond.

"We have arrived, Young Master." Tang Lingling said respectfully.

Lee Tao nodded his head as he sneaked a peek at the so-called pond.

Lee Tao's pupil constricted when he recognized what the pond was.

'Spirit Liquid? As expected of an ancient ruin… even a cave can store this kind of treasure here.' Lee Tao sighed inwardly.

The Spirit Liquid is a rare and unique treasure that allowed one cultivator to bathe in and increased their cultivation.

It was a treasure sought by many cultivators that understood its true value.

Alas, Lee Tao showed little to no interest because the Spirit Liquid was completely useless for someone like him.

However, that wasn't the same for the rest as they didn't have a problem like Lee Tao.

"Wow, those liquids in the pond seemed to be glistening like jewels." Yao Meixiang exclaimed in shock as she walked in with Jia Qiu and Meng Xue.

Meanwhile, Lin Cheng was following closely behind, but it was clear his mood was in terrible shape.

"Tch, they really treat me as invisible." Lin Cheng mumbled as he clenched his fist.

His anger continued to rise when he saw Lee Tao being carried by a beautiful woman like Tang Lingling.

Added with the fact that Tang Lingling seemed to be a powerful cultivator, Lin Cheng cursed Lee Tao and his blessing.

'What kind of crap things he did in his previous life to enjoy these women.' Lin Cheng screamed internally as he found a spacious corner in the pond.

Afterward, he directly bathes himself in it with his clothes on.

"Truly shameless." Lee Tao snickered as he hopped off from Tang Lingling's embrace.

"As a gentleman, shouldn't you wait for the ladies to bathe in first?" Lee Tao added.

Lin Cheng's expression darkened as he scoffed and turned his back toward Lee Tao.

Lee Tao smirked as he turned around and faced the ladies.

"Y'all can bathe in the pond. However, make sure your clothes aren't transparent once dipped with water because you can't tell if someone is a horny bastard." Lee Tao warned as he pointed at Lin Cheng.

"Pfft."

Tang Lingling couldn't help herself anymore as she laughed at Lee Tao's insult.

She covered her mouth with her hand as she stood next to Lee Tao and said, "Young Master, you can also bathe in the pond. I will stand by and keep watch of anything."

Lee Tao shook his head.

"Nah, I'll stay here and you can bathe in the pond with the rest. Spirit Liquids are hard to come by after all and you shouldn't waste it." Lee Tao said.

"Spirit Liquid?" Tang Lingling raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by Spirit Liquid, Young Master?"

Lee Tao held a dumbfounded expression as he glanced at Tang Lingling's confused look.

"You don't know what this pond is made of?" Lee Tao asked.

It wasn't just Tang Lingling being confused since Yao Meixiang and the ladies also raised their eyebrows in confusion.

"What are you talking about, Lee Tao?" Yao Meixiang enquired.

"Un, I never even heard of Spirit Liquid in my life." Jia Qiu added. "What about you, Meng Xue?"

Meng Xue shrugged her shoulders. "I never heard of it either. I simply thought this was a miraculous pond that can increase one's cultivation base."

Lee Tao twitched his mouth when everyone had their eyesight on him.

'I should have kept my dumb mouth shut.' Lee Tao cried inwardly as he now had to spend time explaining things to them.

Right when Lee Tao was about to explain, he noticed another person had their ears perked up.

'You want free information? Dream on sucker, you're only bathing because I need to harness your profound qi.' Lee Tao laughed inwardly.

He then glanced at Yao Meixiang and the rest. "I will explain the details later on about the Spirit Liquid."

Lee Tao smiled as he pointed at the pond. "Instead of learning some information that you can learn afterward, it's better to do the important stuff first."

And he continued, "If you still dilly-dally around, someone is going to yield all the benefits."

As soon as Lee Tao finished his words, Yao Meixiang and the rest realized Lin Cheng had already begun cultivating inside the pond.

They quickly dashed toward the pond as they began sitting in a lotus position to absorb the Spirit Liquid faster.

Lee Tao grinned evilly as he witnessed their cultivation base slowly rising with the absorption of Spirit Liquid.

'Oh heaven, make them cultivate faster so I can harness them. My body is aching for a breakthrough already…' Lee Tao sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow when Tang Lingling remained still in her position.

"What are you still standing here for, Tang Lingling?" Lee Tao asked.

"My duty is to protect the Young Master…" Tang Lingling replied as she began whispering. "I still don't trust Lin Cheng so I can't just leave the Young Master alone here."

Lee Tao facepalmed as he pinched on Tang Lingling's face.

"You either go and bathe in the Spirit Liquid like I have instructed or you can get on your knees and pleasure me." Lee Tao hissed as he gave her two options.

Tang Lingling's face paled when she heard Lee Tao's words. She didn't say anything else as she quickly joined Yao Meixiang's group in bathing the Spirit Liquid.

Lee Tao laughed wickedly when everyone else had their eyes closed now as they concentrated on absorbing the Spirit Liquid.

"Xiao Chu, besides Yao Meixiang having a unique physique that I must keep her alive for now, who else can I harness?" Lee Tao asked her mentally.

"Xiao Chu had already assessed the data and calculated everything. Meng Xue and Jia Qiu should be kept alive." Xiao Chu replied as she snapped her finger and revealed a projection screen for Lee Tao.

The projection screen then revealed multiple data of Meng Xue and Jia Qiu.. Data such as cultivation base, physiques, age, and talent.
