Chapter 0064: The Power of Twelve Tigers (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)
Qi Tian took half a day’s rest. The period of wisdom and courage against the water salamanders was indeed tough. After a satisfying meal and sleep, he wasted no time and directly jumped into the river. He swam upstream into a cave in the mountains.
The cave was quite deep. Qi Tian swam more than a hundred meters upstream and suddenly found himself in a huge cavern, with an area of about a thousand square meters.
Inside the cavern was a small lake, with only a small part of the land exposed outside the water. Upon seeing the land, Qi Tian swam towards it as fast as he could. He had no choice as he saw dozens of water salamanders in the lake, each one particularly powerful, with the weakest one at the Qi Cultivation 6th Level.
Although these salamanders noticed Qi Tian, they made no move. They just coldly glanced at him, and then turned their heads back and continued to swallow the lake water in gulps.
Qi Tian sighed heavily. He felt like he had fallen into the dangerous den of wolves. He hesitated as to whether he should leave this cavern, a place too dangerous for him in his current state.
However, Qi Tian quickly discarded this thought. Firstly, the Spirit Qi here was incredibly dense. Even though he was at the edge of the cavern, the concentration of Spirit Qi in the air was close to that inside the cave that Han Chengnuo had spent a fortune on building. Secondly, Qi Tian noticed a reef sticking out of the lake, very similar to a rockery made of several stones on Earth. But what caught his attention was a fountain on the rockery from where he could vaguely see the misty Spirit Qi from afar.
That should be the source of Spirit Qi that Qi Tian wanted to find. If he could practice there, the effect must be astonishing and definitely not inferior to Han Chengnuo’s cultivation chamber.
Unfortunately, a giant water salamander more than three meters long was lying on the rock. It occasionally stretched its head into the fountain and swallowed the spring water that had just spurted out. A golden line faintly appeared on the all-black back of the salamander. It was likely the king of this group of water salamanders. Qi Tian gazed at the King Salamander from afar, estimating that even if it didn’t have Power of Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, it must have at least the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation.
Several salamanders of a slightly smaller size were lying around the rock, with misty silver lines on their backs. Outside of them were more than a dozen smaller red-lined salamander leaders. Beyond them were hundreds of ordinary water salamanders, each one seemed more powerful than the salamanders Qi Tian had encountered at the entrance of the cave.
Qi Tian swallowed. He looked at his position and surveyed the surroundings. He found a rock sticking out from the cave wall above his head, about four to five meters high. If he stood on it, it should prevent the salamanders from sneaking up on him.
Qi Tian quickly climbed onto the rock, hands and feet together. This rock was constantly in a wet environment, and the surface was very smooth. Qi Tian took out a top-grade Spirit Military knife, which cut the rock as effortlessly as if it were tofu, smoothed the surface, and stood on it. Then, using this platform as a base, he began to dig the stone from the cave wall.
Soon, he dug a deep hole in the stone. The removed stone was thrown by him into the lake below. Although the salamanders were disturbed by the noise, none of them were willing to leave the rock too far, as if they were afraid that someone would take their place if they left even for a moment.
Having established a safe place, Qi Tian looked deeply at the Spirit Spring on the rock in the center of the lake. His current lack of power could only leave him staring at it, but once he became more powerful, he would surely secure this Spirit Spring for himself and practice beside it.
Afterward, Qi Tian put aside his stray thoughts and started closed-door cultivation.
His current location was slightly inferior to the cultivation chamber that Han Chengnuo had spent a fortune on building, but the difference was minor. Cultivating unlimitedly in such an environment, Qi Tian’s cultivation was rapidly advancing, like a rocket shooting up.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Qi Tian first successfully opened his ninth meridian and advanced to the Qi Cultivation 3rd Level. After that, he opened his tenth meridian. At this moment, without using the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, he could punch nearly three thousand pounds of force. When using the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist, he could easily break three thousand pounds. This meant that if Qi Tian started the Heavenly Dao Engine at this time, he could punch at least six thousand pounds of force, which equaled the strength of twelve tigers.
Such power, whether among his peers or among those of the same cultivation level, surely put Qi Tian at the forefront.
Qi Tian wanted to continue his cultivation, but he encountered a problem. He had used up almost all his middle-grade Essence Qi Pills, and he only had a 500-year-old wild ginseng left in his pocket. Before coming to the Lianying Realm, he had exchanged all his silver and silver notes for cultivation resources, most of which were middle-grade Essence Qi Pills. He had several hundred of them, which seemed like a lot, but they were not enough given his large consumption. He had used more than three hundred to open up his ninth and tenth meridians, and about fifty when fishing for water salamanders. Now, he wouldn’t even have enough left to open up a third of his eleventh meridian.
The best way to break through the meridians is to do it all at once. If it is not achieved the first time and one tries again after a period of time, the pain is magnified, enough to make one wish for death.
Although the 500-year-old wild ginseng had a strong medicinal effect, it was insufficient to open the eleventh meridian even with the remaining middle-grade Essence Qi Pills. Qi Tian had no choice but to pause his cultivation.
He emerged from his dwelling and looked at the hundreds of water salamanders in the lake.
These water salamanders did not see him as a threat, since Qi Tian was too weak in comparison. Perhaps, in their view, only one of them needed to take action to defeat Qi Tian. As Qi Tian had always behaved calmly, they were tolerant of him.
Only Qi Tian knew that this peaceful coexistence was just temporary. If he wanted to cultivate to a higher level, he had to find ways to obtain more cultivation resources. Talking about peace with the creatures was not practical. His only choice was to seize the Spirit Spring from these water salamanders by force.
However, the power disparity was too wide. Even if Qi Tian could unleash the force of twelve tigers with each punch, what good would it do? There were hundreds of water salamanders; even if he could knock one down with each punch, without them resisting, he couldn’t possibly kill them all. Using the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist consumed True Essence, which he didn’t have enough of to throw a few hundred of these powerful punches. At the most, he might be able to throw fewer than thirty.
That was not even considering whether he could really unleash the power of twelve tigers with each punch. A force of 6,000 pounds was something he could generate, but his flesh, meridians, and bones wouldn’t be able to withstand such a massive backlash. Just a few punches might leave him bruised and bloody, a few more might lead to broken bones and torn tendons.
No matter how much Qi Tian thought, he couldn’t come up with a good solution. But he was not willing to leave this mountain hollow just yet. He would never have the opportunity to use such a sacred cultivation site in the National Master Manor. If he could capture this place, he could use it for over two months without spending a single penny. Even without a plan, he had to find a way.
After much careful thought, Qi Tian decided to use the spoils he won in the Lianying Realm. He took out the two dictionaries he had taken from the retired official native to the Lianying Realm and began to quickly flip through them.
He had been an excellent student in his previous life and had received training in rapid memorization. Now as a cultivator, his memory and comprehension abilities had reached extremely high levels. He spent a few days going through the dictionaries from cover to cover, acquiring a basic understanding of the Lianying Realm language. However, this was limited to reading and writing, as the pronunciation was unclear to him since the dictionaries were silent.
Qi Tian began to rummage through the Storage Bag, primarily looking for spoils from the native cultivator who had reached the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation.

These spoils included many secret manuals and books carried by the native cultivator, all written in the language of the Lianying Realm. Previously, Qi Tian couldn’t read the characters, but now that was no longer a problem.
Qi Tian carefully selected the books and secret manuals left by the native cultivator from the Storage Bag and began to read each one. He spent more than a day going through them. By the time he put down the last book, a glimmer of comprehension gleamed in his eyes.
Only then did Qi Tian realize that he had inadvertently killed Yu Chuan, the head of a cultivation sect native to the Lianying Realm.
Through Yu Chuan’s books and secret manuals, Qi Tian learned a lot about the Lianying Realm, and knew the names and uses of almost all the items in the Storage Bag. It also contained pill formulas that could help him continue cultivation and open up more meridians, and there was more than one kind.
The worst of them was a top-grade, tier-one pill called Coagulation Essence Pill, Though it was the worst, it was of equal efficacy to top-grade Essence Qi Pills. However, the majority of pills in Yu Chuan’s Storage Bag were tier-two and tier-three pills, including Meridians Pill and Heavenly Meridian Pill for opening up meridians. These pills were, without exception, of top-grade or even top-grade. As the head of a cultivation sect, it was only natural that he possessed such treasures.
