Chapter 329: Cultivation Assistan (1/2)

After reaching an agreement with Li Langfeng and Xue Long, Nie Tian bid farewell to Cai Yuan and Gu Yu, and left the Blood Skull’s group.

Both Xue Long and Nie Tian were only guest elders of the Blood Skull, not formal members. Therefore, the Blood Skull didn’t have much control over the actions of either of them.

They weren’t obligated to travel with the Blood Skull and work for them just because of their strong desire to find the Spirit Channeling grade treasure in this region.

Before they left, Pei Qiqi was slightly worried that Nie Tian might get in trouble, but after learning that he was leaving with Xue Long, she set her mind at ease.

She knew how powerful Xue Long was.

She assumed that as long as Nie Tian traveled with Xue Long, even if they encountered Shi Hui, who had switched sides and joined the Wild Fire, he would still be safe.

After parting ways with Pei Qiqi and the Blood Skull’s group, Nie Tian followed Xue Long and Li Langfeng out of the Wild Fire’s territory in the Void Illusion Mountain Range and into the desert again.

The forbidden region where Ning Yang was currently in belonged to a part of the desert which sat to the east of Ash City.

However, the three of them didn’t rush over to the region where no plants or spirit beasts could survive.

Instead, they found an untraversed region in the desert, where Nie Tian started helping Li Langfeng with his cultivation.

Deep into the night, frigid-cold wind whizzed by as Xue Long sat in a location 100 meters away from Nie Tian and Li Langfeng.

He was rather sensible by doing this.

He understood that no matter whether it was Nie Tian or Li Langfeng, neither of them would want to reveal their secrets to others while they practiced cultivation.

No one was willing to expose their secrets to others, especially when it came to cultivation methods.

“Come on! Bombard me with your spiritual energy balls like you did last time!” A sickly yearning expression appeared on Li Langfeng’s face, as if he couldn’t wait to be mistreated.

However, Nie Tian didn’t form spiritual energy balls instantly, but rather he looked at him with a frown and asked, “If you don’t mind, can I examine your body briefly before we do this?”

Li Langfeng was taken aback. “What?”

“Just don’t raise your guard, and let me check your physical body,” Nie Tian said. “If I do that, I might be able to help you better.”

Li Langfeng seemed a bit hesitant. He pondered silently for a while before saying, “Alright.”

He would never agree to such a demand if it were someone else. However, he needed Nie Tian to help him improve his cultivation base as quickly as possible, and he understood that Nie Tian had mastered some mysterious skills and techniques that no one else knew.

Back when he had failed to find Nie Tian in the Void Illusion Mountain Range, he had gone to the wasteland and learned from a few Hunters that Nie Tian possessed bizarre escape magics that had allowed him to escape from the Hunters’ blockades repeatedly.

Many factors made Li Langfeng realize that Nie Tian was by no means an ordinary young man.

Then, Nie Tian unleashed one Heaven Eye and manipulated it to run an examination of Li Langfeng’s flesh and blood from a close distance, since he didn’t dare to command the Heaven Eye to enter Li Langfeng’s body.

With the Heaven Eye moving across his body so close to his skin, Li Langfeng had a feeling that he was being scanned by something.

However, since he hadn’t entered the Worldly realm, he wasn’t able to discover the Heaven Eye. The only thing he could be sure of was that the strange feeling was caused by Nie Tian.

While he was caught up in the strange sensation, Nie Tian had already obtained a thorough understanding of Li Langfeng’s condition.

He could sense a certain, extremely toxic deposit in Li Langfeng’s sickly body, which resided in his blood, bones, and meridians.

It was the deposit of the mysterious green energy within the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this realm.

Even though the deposit carried deadly toxins, it could inflict damage that was just as dreadful when Li Langfeng used it to attack his enemies.

Therefore, it was a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it boosted Li Langfeng’s strength; on the other, it continued to corrode his body from the inside.

The fact that Li Langfeng never stopped coughing and looked as if he was afflicted with an incurable disease was because he had the extremely toxic deposit inside his body all the time.

Eyes narrowed, Nie Tian said with a soft voice, “You have an extremely toxic deposit inside your body.

“The deadly toxins are damaging your physical body continuously. I know you have a method to heal the damage to your body and resist the corrosion of the toxins. However, the speed at which you heal yourself isn’t always as fast as the speed at which the toxins corrode your body…

“As your cultivation base advances, more toxins will accumulate inside your body, and your body will be under increasingly heavy pressure.

“Sooner or later, your body will be overwhelmed, and the deadly toxins will eventually nibble away every last bit of your life force and kill you.”

After hearing Nie Tian’s analysis, Li Langfeng’s face remained expressionless, as he didn’t seem to be moved at all.

After looking deeply at him for a moment, Nie Tian added, “I don’t think bombarding you with my spiritual energy balls is a good idea. As you probably know, the explosion of spiritual energy balls will send out concentrated energy. Other than the green toxic energy, you’ll be allowing many other types of energy that don’t get along with each other inside your body.

“Furthermore, after absorbing them all into your body, you’ll have to drive the unwanted energy out of your body by puking blood.

“This will put your body under an even heavier burden.”

With these words, Nie Tian raised his hands as he cast the spell he had learned from the mysterious land. Shortly afterwards, a football-sized spiritual energy ball came to form between his palms.

Even though the spiritual energy ball looked gray and misty from the outside, it was actually filled with multicolored light.

The various types of spiritual energy from unknown origins grew increasingly violent and restless after being concentrated and constrained into such a small space.

After holding it for about 10 seconds, Nie Tian unleashed it.
