27 The Stories of a King (1/2)

Zao Tian received twelve lashes, each one being more severe than the other.

After finishing, Huolong Ji did not say anything to Zao Tian and burst out laughing. He ordered the other disciples in prison to descend and remove the debris from the basement.

Like the first time, Zao Tian's body was huge and full of blood. But this time, the wounds were a bit more superficial, and his body's recovery speed had increased.

Zao Tian crossed his legs and closed his eyes. He remained seated as he tried to organize all the information that was cluttering his mind.

The disciples who were cleaning the rubble looked at Zao Tian, ​​and none of them could feel sorry for him. Anyone who looked at Zao Tian's bloody body could imagine how severe punishment was.

Zao Tian simply ignored the other disciples and kept concentrating until a familiar voice popped into his mind.

”Boy, that old man gave you a lot of knowledge about medicine and alchemy. Therefore, I will stipulate some rules for you ... ”Gold began to speak suddenly.

”You can not in any way use this knowledge to enrich money, or increase your strength through pills. The only thing you can use freely is the body enhancement technique you obtained. You must increase your strength on your own, so the knowledge of alchemy you obtained should not be used for that purpose. ”

Zao Tian, ​​who was already writing various enrichment plans and was selecting various pill formulas to boost his strength, felt like he was taking a cold shower.

He even thought about questioning these rules, but knowing Gold's temperament and behavior, he knew that any questioning would be useless and he had only to regret.

Faced with Gold's rules, Zao Tian diverted his thoughts and began to focus on the technique of body enhancement.

He had not yet seen any of the principles of technique and if he wanted to survive, he should begin to understand and practice it.

While trying to find the body technique in his thoughts, Zao Tian could not hold back and finally refuted Gold: ”Gold ... Why should not I use this knowledge to enrich or increase my strength? Would not it be much faster if I made some pills? ”

”Foolish idiot ... Do you really think that increasing your strength through pills will help you get stronger? You do not understand anything about Dao Martial! This kind of growth is a shortcut that will only hurt you in the future. Also ... I do not want things to become easy for you! ”Gold replied coldly.

”You must settle for this bodily enhancement for now, and ... as for increasing strength, you must seek the knowledge you have acquired, for nowadays you absorb spiritual energy in the wrong way. When you learn how to absorb spiritual energy correctly ... Then yes, you will increase your real strength!” Gold finished.

While understanding Gold's motives, Zao Tian was a bit confused, as Gold had just said that Zao Tian was cultivating the wrong way.

Zao Tian gave up arguing with Gold and went back to the body enhancement technique. This process would have been easy if the Emerald King had not passed on that enormous amount of knowledge to Zao Tian.

But as this had happened, Zao Tian's mind was in complete chaos, it would take some time to organize and know where to look for every thing.

Ten hours later ...

The disciples had finished clearing the basement and headed for their respective cells. Zao Tian was alone there and finally had managed to organize much of that information.
