Chapter 17: Millennium Cloud Chasing Horses
It was already 2 hours since Xiao Tian's parents and his two aunts started the discussion.
Xiao Tian was fully focused on their discussion and understood the ins and outs.
Unknowingly, the little loli beside him had already fallen asleep without Xiao Tian noticing.
The little loli looked very cute when sleeping. Don't know what she was dreaming about, but there was drool leaking at the corner of her mouth.
Maybe she was exhausted by the travel. Afterall, not everyone is a monster like Xiao Tian and Tang San at their age.
Xiao Tian didn't know what to do, so he called his mother.
" Mom, Xiao Yun looks tired. Maybe we should take her to the room and let her sleep comfortably.".. said Xiao Tian softly, so as not to disturb the little loli's sleep.
The adults only noticed Yun Yun sleeping after Xiao Tian told them.
" I'll take her to rest in the room, we have a long journey ahead of us.".. said Ling Shui while slowly picking up Yun Yun into her arms.
Ling Shui took Yun Yun to the room to rest.
They'll depart tomorrow from the village. Their destination is the Tian Dou City, where they'll group with Zhou Qi.
They want to finish the soul ring hunt as soon as possible as the longer Zhou Qi is not in the city, the more danger there is to the TianHai Chamber of Commerce. The competitors and nobles have been eyeing this fat piece of meat for a long time.
Although the TianHai Chamber of Commerce has no background except for Zhou Qi, and is also less than a decades foundation. It still has a wealth comparable to the top 5 Commerce Chambers.
This time Zhou Qi will be joining them discreetly so as not to make his absence known.
The reason for calling Zhou Qi was to add extra protection as they had two children with them.
Everyone except for Ling Shui and Yun Yun had their lunch in the dining room and went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Tian Shui had brought Ling Shui and Yun Yun's portion of lunch to their rooms, before the others started their lunch.
Tian Shui specifically made a herbal juice to energize Yun Yun's body and mind so that she can be in her peak condition by tomorrow morning.
They had decided to leave tomorrow morning after breakfast. Xiao Hai had already prepared a luxurious carriage for their journey.
The carriage was pulled by two 1000 year old 'Cloud Chasing Horses'. This type of horse is generally used by noble and rich people to pull their carriages as they looked pearl while with cloudy hair on their head and hoofs. But, having two 1000 year old Cloud Chasing Horses pull their carriages was indeed very flashy.
But they were worth it because, they had a very fast speed and could run for a whole day without food and water.
The carriage prepared by Xiao Hai had very good suspensions and noise cancellation. They could even sleep throughout the whole journey without feeling any discomfort.
Originally, it would take half a month to reach Tian Dou City with a normal horse and carriage including the night camping.
But now, they only need three days to reach Tian Dou City. All thanks to the Millennium Horses and the Luxurious Carriage.
Xiao Tian returned to his room and cultivated for 2 whole hours on his bed.
His soul power had increased by 5%. Xiao decided to open the second acupoints in both his legs according to the Seven Stars Step Technique.
He closed his eyes and started circulating the soul power according to the route mentioned in the technique.
The second acupoint was located in the heel. He repeated the process he used to open the first acupoints. He decided to open the second acupoint of right leg first. Soon, he was shocked to find that he was on 70% done by the time he almost exhausted all the soul power in his body. He used the soul power stored in his pores to make up for the deficit soul power in the body and continued opening the the second acupoint in his right leg.
Finally after 15 minutes, Xiao Tian opened the acupoint and stabilized it within 5 minutes with his previous experience.
He cultivated for another hour to recover his soul power and physical strength.
By the time he finished cultivating, the soul power in his body and pores both recovered. Even, his total soul power increased by 2%. Reaching, slightly closer to rank 6 soul power.
It was almost time for dinner. Xiao Tian tidied himself and went to the dining room to have dinner.
There was nothing special during the dinner, just Xiao Hai bragging about Xiao Tian's talent and perseverance.
This caused Xiao Tian's aunt to look at him in a new light. At first they thought he was a flower boy, but now they changed their opinion about him from flower boy to little monster.
If one looked closely at the little loli's face, they could see stars in her eyes. The little loli started at Xiao Tian the whole time during dinner with stars in her eyes. One could even say that, the little loli had had already become Xiao Tian's little fangirl.
After dinner, everyone went back to sleep in their rooms.
Xiao Tian sat cross legged on his bed, and repeated the process of opening the second acupoint of his right leg on the left leg. This time he was already prepared so he took only an hour to open the second acupoint in his left leg and stabilize it. He was even left with 10% soul power in his body and didn't have to use the soul power stored in his pores.
He cultivated for half an hour to recover the used soul power. Once, he finished cultivating he lay on his bed and soon fell asleep.
Although his total soul power didn't increase this time, he had a much better gain. His control over the soul power in his body increased greatly. Now he could use his soul power with optimum utilization to avoid any wastage.
