Chapter 245: Cheater (2/2)

“Don’t!” Shi Qing hastily stopped her and urged pressingly. “If you do this, others will laugh at us and take the Blood Skull as a rabble of stingy men. Listen to me, Little Lord. At least wait for him to come out of there. He only rented the room for twenty hours. As you know, if a cultivator is interrupted in the middle of his cultivation, he may very well fall into Qi deviation.”

After hearing these words, Cai Yue, who was already standing in front of Nie Tian’s cultivation room and ready to barge in, finally came to a stop and fell into silent pondering.

A moment later, Cai Yue said, “The spiritual Qi in my room is too faint, and I’m too distracted to practice cultivation. I’ll wait for him here! I’ve got to see how special this guy really is, and what made him dare to steal the spiritual Qi from my room!”

Standing beside her, Shi Qing continued to reason with her with a bitter smile on his face. However, after a while, he found that it appeared that Cai Yue wasn’t listening at all, and thus gave up.

After things were calmed, Shi Qing focused his glittering eyes on the cultivation room Nie Tian was in, his mind filled with questions.

As far as he knew, a situation like this would only happen when a middle or late Heaven stage expert used a Lesser Heaven stage cultivation room.

However, he was completely certain that Nie Tian was only at the Lesser Heaven stage. The speed at which he consumed the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth astonished him.

In Nie Tian’s cultivation room.

Nie Tian condensed another spiritual energy ball using the technique he had learned from the mysterious land, and then channeled the pure spiritual energy within it to his spiritual sea.

The three vortexes of spiritual energy were rotating madly to generate more refined spiritual power and push it to the edges of his spiritual sea.

The speed at which Nie Tian advanced in the cultivation room was already much faster than when he had cultivated in his residence. Adding in the incantation that he used to form the spiritual energy balls, the speed of his advancement was further boosted.

He had a feeling that the speed at which he improved here was approximately twenty times faster than before.

The fact that he only had to pay five spirit stones for one hour was absolutely worth it.

Originally, if he hadn’t used his secret technique, the advancement in his cultivation he would achieve within one hour inside the room would be less significant than that which he could achieve cultivating with five spirit stones outside, but the time he would spend to achieve such progress would be much less.

However, using the spiritual energy ball technique, he had improved his cultivation efficiency dramatically. Therefore, the total amount of spiritual energy he absorbed within one hour turned out to be far greater than what he would have been able to obtain using five spirit stones outside.

Seeing that his spiritual sea was expanding rapidly, Nie Tian was rather pleased. He went on to form more spiritual energy balls and devoted himself to absorbing the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Meanwhile, the numerous spirit stones that had been laid under the floor of the two Lesser Heaven stage cultivation rooms rapidly ran dry and turned into rubble.

Time passed quickly.

As time passed, the amount of spiritual Qi left in both rooms grew thin, and then, Nie Tian suddenly woke from his cultivation, since he was no longer able to form another spiritual energy ball with the thin amount of spiritual Qi.

Confusion stretched across Nie Tian’s face. “What’s happening to the room?”

At the same time, grim expressions could be seen on the faces of Shi Qing and Cai Yue, who had been waiting for Nie Tian to come out of the room.

A member of the Blood Skull, who was responsible for filling the spell formation with spirit stones, approached Shi Qing and whispered in his ear, “Sir, the 350 spirit stones we’ve laid under the first floor cultivation rooms have already run dry.

“300 of them were consumed after that person went into one of the rooms.

“The speed at which the spirit stones were consumed was even faster than we could refill the spell formation with new ones. Should we keep refilling?”

Shi Qing frowned as he waved his hand and said, “No!”

Cai Yue stamped with fury as she said, “Even I can only consume 50 spirit stones by cultivating for 24 hours within one of the rooms! That guy has only been in there for 12 hours, but he has already consumed 300 spirit stones!

“Uncle Shi, how many spirit stones did he pay?”

“100 spirit stones for twenty hours,” replied Shi Qing.

“I suspect that he intentionally hid his true cultivation base in order to take advantage of us!” Cai Yue blurted furiously.

Just as she was about to break into the room and demand an explanation from Nie Tian, Nie Tian walked out of the room.

He didn’t look at Cai Yue. Instead, he gazed at Shi Qing, and with a puzzled look in his eyes, he asked, “The twenty hours’ time isn’t up yet, right? Why is there not a bit of spiritual Qi in the room already? Don’t tell me that the Blood Skull’s cultivation rooms are usually like this, breaking down from time to time.”

Upon hearing these words, Shi Qing’s face suddenly twitched.
