Chapter 656: Second Tier
Hui deactivated his body cultivation technique as he stepped into the second tier, dismissing the crystalline form with a quiet ping.
Looking at his hands, he pressed his lips together thoughtfully. What if I created a large body, then condensed it down to normal size? If I could create a body with incredible size and muscle density, then compress it to make those muscles even more dense
He turned up. The ceiling loomed over him, not far above his head.
Well, Ill leave that technique for another day. When Im in a pinch, I can always try that out! Ah, but Ill probably need more raw materials. Maybe if I grow a giant lotus clone, then use my plant-to-flesh technique on it but then it would only be large, not large and densely muscular. But! If I use my phoenix fire on that and regrow that large body from scratch, controlling the muscle density the whole way
Aanyways! Ill worry about that later. For now, lets explore the second tier! Whos the Tier Master? I dont remember. Was this the demonic healing tier? Ugh, I hope not. Demonic healing terrifying. Thats a tier I want to avoid!
At the moment, he walked through a short hallway. Behind him, the giant wooden doors shut softly. A second door opened at the far end as he approached. Hui tensed, ready to flee. Why does this tier have an airlock? Dont tell me, it is the demonic healer tier, and its so terrifying that they have to lock them away
A blast of pink, bubblegum-scented smoke burst from the opening door and washed over Hui. He coughed, waving his hand to clear the air. What the
From out of the smoke, a figure slammed into him. Bubblegum-pink robes filled his vision for a moment before the figure fell backward.
Prepared for it this time, Hui lunged and caught them before they struck the ground. People need to stop running into me! Im a small cultivator. I have a low center of gravity! Its easy for me to knock people over.
Ah, but I am small. I suppose they probably cant see me. Hmm. I dont want to hit puberty, but maybe Ill artificially age myself up so I stop getting run into.
The smoke began to fill the airlock, completely blocking out the air. Hui retreated to the previous tiers doors, but they wouldnt budge. He pressed his lips together.
I get it, its an airlock, but still! Are you going to lock me in to my death?
I suppose I could run to the place the smoke is coming from instead its a terrible idea, usually, but this is a cultivation world! It might work out okay?Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Hui coughed. Falling into the female cultivator, he let himself go limp. I should probably stop talking and go to sleep now. But based on the simple understanding I have of the properties of liquids and gasses, and the fact that Elder Sister called it an elixir, which are usually liquid pills, and not a smoke, which would be what she actually made Elder Sister did you perhaps turn the temperature up too high?
The pink cultivators eyes widened. Her mouth formed into a perfect O.
Hui closed his eyes, exhausted. Elder Sister, your gas might not have affected me, but just interacting with you has made me tired enough to sleep. Elder Sister how are you a pill cultivator, if you cant even consider such simple possibilities? Is the training of pill cultivators really so lacking? Or is Elder Sister a special case?
From around the corner, the Tier Master Hui had seen on his first day in the sect stormed over, seven-colored hair flying. Xi Sanji, what have you done this time?
Ah! Elder Wan Lu! The pink cultivator dropped Hui and dove to the floor, kowtowing to the Tier Master.
Hui struck the floor with a thump. He barely resisted the urge to frown. Elder Sister, dont forget youre holding children! No one trust this woman with a baby!
Wan Lu blinked at her. He looked at Huis prone form, then back at Xi Sanji. Sighing, he put a hand on his forehead. Xi Sanji can you go ten minutes without causing trouble for me?
Im so sorry! Please forgive me! I wont do it again! she cried, groveling.
Dont make promises you cant keep. And can you please remember to turn off your furnace and close the vents when you burn another formula?
Ah! Thats right! Xi Sanji jumped up and ran over to her pill furnace.
Xi Sanji Wan Lu reached after her, then let his hand fall. He sighed and knelt, picking up Hui to carry him over to the rest of the sleeping cultivators. Why am I always cleaning up this childs messes?
Hui sympathized silently, letting himself be carried. Truly, Senior has it hard. I certainly hope Elder Sister hasnt repeatedly tried to make love elixirs though what kind of pill could she safely make, with no terrifying side effects?
Hmm in any case, I have no karma with pill cultivation. I should leave this tier quickly. Theres only one tier left to go downward, and then I can investigate the tiers above Jizhi Zhimieis!
