"Yan'er, be obedient, and go back with me today. You can leave all the matter to Yunxi. Look at you, you are much skinnier now." In the car, Shen Tianyun said in a concerned voice upon seeing Liu Feiyan's bleak appearance, her countenance rather pale from tiredness.
Liu Feiyan smiled warmly as she rested her head on his shoulder, "No, I must do by myself. If I couldn't handle this easy task, how could I handle a bigger task in the future?" She said stubbornly.
Since the restaurant on Huafeng street has been officially opened for 5 days, Liu Feiyan didn't have the time to rest at all as she has to go back and forth between the restaurant and the coffee shop located opposite the street.
Compared to the restaurant, the coffee shop rather less popular it still has to be managed properly thus, the workloads on Liu Feiyan's shoulders were not small. At first, Shen Tianyun planned to buy a rank A coffee recipe from the system. However, when he saw Liu Feiyan pushing herself every day, he felt an intense heartache. If he were to make a coffee shop become popular at this moment, Liu Feiyan probably fell sick from tiredness. Therefore, he has to pause his plan for a while.
Furthermore, the night activity has to stop as well since Liu Feiyan is not a cultivator like Shen Tianyun, her recovery rate is rather slow and she needed a proper rest on the night.
Shen Tianyun sighed helplessly, "Alright, you must not force yourself too hard, okay?" He said warmly while stroked her hair gently.
Liu Feiyan closed her eyes enjoying a warm sensation from Shen Tianyun's hand and let out a small 'Mhm' in reply.
"Uncle Wang, I'll have to trouble you from this period. The Black Dragon gang and Zhou family will try to make a move on Yan'er for sure. Please be wary all the time." Shen Tianyun said to the chauffeur, Liu Feiyan's bodyguard, Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang looked at the rearview mirror, he smiled and said confidently, "Rest assured, Young master Shen. I'll be careful. There will be another 4 brothers coming after a while. I think there shouldn't be a problem."
Uncle Wang and the rest of bodyguards acknowledged the relationship between Liu Feiyan and Shen Tianyun after that night, they started to call Shen Tianyun as 'Young Master' from then on as they saw him has a potential to be a master of Liu family in the future. It would be better to make a good impression on him early.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Shen Tianyun said sincerely.
Uncle Wang chuckled, "Young master don't have to thank me, this is our job."
As time passed by, the car gradually reached the Liu family house. They have to drop Shen Tianyun off before going to the Huafeng street later. After bid farewell to Liu Feiyan and constantly told her to be careful, Shen Tianyun walked into the house with excitement in his heart.
On the lunch break today, the system suddenly informed him that his Spirit Root has been completely recovered which means he could start to cultivate with no bottleneck as Grandma Su has said before. He was so eager to test the cultivation speed of his newly Spirit Root.
After greeting Grandma Su, he went straight to his room and quickly took a bath before calmly sat crossed-legs on the bed. He didn't forget to inform his woman to contact him in case of emergency only.
First of all, I need to test the speed first. Shen Tianyun thought as he exhaled to relax himself.
Adjusted himself in the relaxed state, Shen Tianyun slowly absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area and guiding it according to the [Supreme Celestial Scripture]. His mind jolted in excitement when he felt the absorption speed was very fast, at least more than 5 times compared to the past.
Every pore on his body opened widely, his body was like a giant bucket trying to receive the rain from the sky. The Spiritual Qi has been absorbed into his body rapidly, he estimated to make a breakthrough into stage 5 in the next hour.
However, Shen Tianyun stopped his action before he reached out to pick a small box from the desk beside his bed. Upon opened it, an aroma of the pill spreading into the air and made people feel very comfortable. He carefully picked up the thumb size green-colored pill from the box and placed it on the center of his palm. This pill was a [Heavenly Spiritual Congealment Pill (A)] that he got from the lottery a few days ago.
This pill could increase the cultivating speed 10 times and will last for 10 hours, Shen Tianyun didn't want to waste any time anymore, he immediately swallowed it. The comfortable sensation spreading through every corner of his body, he felt as if he floating in the cloud.
Shen Tianyun calmly closed his eyes and started absorbing the Spiritual Qi again. This time it was as if a broken dam, the Spiritual Qi in the surrounding area madly flew towards him. His body quickly absorbed it in a rapid speed without any problem.
Time passed by, 10 minutes later, Shen Tianyun could feel the existence of blockage loosen a bit. It was a sign of a breakthrough, without hesitation, he guided all the Spiritual Qi in his body to attack the blockage fiercely. To comparison, the blockage now was similar to a thin silk layer, once the massive Spiritual Qi pushed against it, it was immediately shattered without any resistance.
This result made Shen Tianyun bewildered as he never experienced such a situation before. So this is the so-called no bottleneck? He thought while he didn't forget to continually cultivate. He was now breakthrough stage 4 and officially stepped into stage 5 of Qi Gathering Realm!
With that, Shen Tianyun continued to cultivating and breakthrough time after time until the pill effect had worn out. He slowly opened his eyes, he completely forgot the time as he saw the daybreak light shone into the room.
The corner of his mouth curved up into a satisfied smile. After 10 hours of cultivating, he finally reached the peak stage 9 of Qi Gathering Realm! This result could blow the veteran cultivator's mind away easily. This speed of cultivating has never appeared in history before. Shen Tianyun is the first and probably the last one to achieve peak stage 9 of Qi gathering Realm from zero within a little more than 1 month!
"This God Spirit Root is worthy of its name. I don't think that with this pill only could make me breakthrough into stage 9 in overnight." Shen Tianyun said to himself happily.
Shen Tianyun reached out his hand and circulated his Spiritual Qi to gathered around his hand. The result made him nodded his head in satisfaction as he saw the massive amount of Spiritual Qi around his hand along with the circulated speed that faster than before several times.
Jumped off from the bed in a good mood, he quickly took a bath before making his way to the dining room. On the way, he checked his phone and didn't see any missed call so he has assumed that there is nothing happen.
When he arrived at the dining room, he only saw Grandma Su leisurely enjoyed her tea. Fang Yulan's figure was nowhere to be seen. He was surprised slightly, normally, Fang Yulan won't go to work this early. Perhaps, she needed to do something urgently.
"Good morning, Grandma." Shen Tianyun was greeting Grandma Su with a warm smile.
"Good morning, Hmm? You seem to be different today. Do you have a successful breakthrough?" Grandma Su was very sensitive towards Shen Tianyun's aura as she was a former cultivator before. She asked curiously.
Shen Tianyun suffused a smile when he heard that, "Yes, Grandma! My Spirit Root has been fully recovered now. Right now, I'm already peak stage 9 of Qi Gathering Realm!" He could hardly suppress his excitement, his voice was quite loud.
Grandma Su's eyes wide open, her mouth agape with incredulity, "W…what did you say?" She asked uncertainly as she didn't believe in her ears.
Shen Tianyun smiled widely and repeated again, "I'm right now at the peak stage 9 of Qi Gathering Realm."
Grandma Su was stupefied once again, her brain didn't seem to function well at this moment because this news was beyond her knowledge.
Shen Tianyun didn't wait for her to ask a question further, he said, "I don't know what happen, I was cultivating normally somehow I breakthrough consecutively." He intended to hide the matter of Heavenly Spiritual Congealment pill, after all, it would be very hard to explain to Grandma Su.
Recovered from her stupefied state, Grandma Su nodded her head slowly as she said, "Good…good."
As if he thought of something, Shen Tianyun asked, "Grandma, is there any problem if I were breakthrough like this?" According to Xianxia novel, there will be a problem if cultivators were breakthrough too fast. It was an unstable foundation problem, he didn't know whether it was similar to the novel or not.
Grandma Su thought for a bit, "There should be a problem if you were a normal cultivator but you aren't. Because you have possessed God Spirit Root, those problems won't appear for you. This is why it called 'God' for a reason." She explained with a complication in her eyes.
She should be happy as Shen Tianyun became stronger, but her heart says otherwise. She didn't know what she was doing right now is right or wrong, she wanted revenge at the same time she also wanted him to be safe and sound. Even though she clearly knew her 'real' grandson was already gone, still seeing a man in front of her, affection and worry were lingering in her mind.
Shen Tianyun nodded in an understanding manner, "It worthy of its name indeed." His complexion became relaxed upon hearing Grandma Su said. He never thought this body would possess this overpowered Spirit Root, this was the first time he truly felt the advantage from being transmigrated here.
"Grandma, how can I break through to the next realm?" Since he was already a peak of Qi Gathering Realm now, it would be better to ask for more information about the next realm.
Grandma Su did not respond right away, she pondered for a bit before she answered, "If I remember correctly, God Spirit Root's possessor don't have to worry about anything and could directly breakthrough into the next realm by normal cultivating."
"As for others, they will need a pill called Body Strengthening pill to help them advance to the next realm. I still remembered the prescription, I will write it for you later in case you need it for that little girl Xueyue. Also, this pill doesn't need to be concocted, you can directly boil it in water and drink it right away."
"In this Body Transformation Realm, your body will slowly transforming for example, your muscle will be tougher, your skin will be brighter and smoother, your bones will become stronger as well. Your body will slowly drive the filths out of your body. So be careful when you were cultivating as you have to clean up the wastes later." Grandma Su said humorously in the later part. She seemed to reminiscing about the past event in her mind.
Shen Tianyun mouth agape slightly, "This is what people call 'Marrow cleansing' right?"
Grandma Su laughed lightly, "Yes, some people called it like that."
"Anyway, where is Yan'er, Grandma?" After digested the information for a while, he decided to put this matter aside first and asked. He didn't see Liu Feiyan in this morning, he felt rather odd. In his memory, Liu Feiyan never woke up late before.
Grandma Su shook her head, "I didn't see her this morning, maybe she still sleeping. You can go check her room."
Shen Tianyun frowned slightly, he nodded his head and headed to Liu Feiyan's room. He knocked on the door lightly when he arrived in front of her room. Waiting for a moment, there was no sound coming out. Shen Tianyun started to worry as he twisted the doorknob, surprisingly, the door was not locked. He hurriedly walked into the room afterward.
Shen Tianyun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw a beautiful figure laying on the bed. For a second, he thought she has been kidnap by someone yesterday. Since he was immersed in the cultivating session, he lost all the sense of surroundings. Thus, he will never know if anything were to happened.
He briskly walked to the side of the bed and slowly sat down beside the sleeping goddess.
"Yan'er, wake up." Shen Tianyun drew his face closer to her ears and whispered softly. As his face almost touched her skin, Shen Tianyun could feel a heat emitted from her body. He immediately understood the situation and reached out his hand to touched her forehead.
"Ah? You have a fever." He mumbled. Seeing her pale face, his heart ached.
"H…hubby?" Liu Feiyan felt her forehead has been touched, she opened her eyes with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice.
Shen Tianyun smiled, "Yes, it's me. Yan'er, you have a high fever. Today you don't have to go to school and restaurant, okay? I will tell Yunxi later and let her manage it." He said softly while arranged her messy hair that covered her face.
Liu Feiyan struggled to sit up but she felt powerless and stopped trying. She replied weakly with a small 'Mhm'.
Shen Tianyun took out his phone and calling Lin Xueyue, upon the call connected he said, "Yue'er, today I won't go to school. Yan'er is sick I have to take care of her first."
"Understood, I won't go to school as well." Lin Xueyue voice rang out from another side.
In fact, both of them didn't even need to go to school or university at all. It was rather to finish high school with a good grade in case he wanted to apply to the university later. Shen Tianyun didn't know why he has the urge to go to university. At first, he was only wanted to experience university life, now, it was as if something telling him to go there. It was irresistible feelings. Therefore, he decided to go to university without thinking anything further.
"Why don't you come here today? We don't have the time to be alone together recently." Shen Tianyun said softly. It was because he lived with Liu Feiyan, their relationship was more physical closer than he was with Lin Xueyue. Shen Tianyun didn't have the time to eat her as both of them were so busy with their business.
"No, I need to finish something." Lin Xueyue answered plainly.
Shen Tianyun raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Are you going to make a move now?" He asked interestingly.
"Yes, since you are about to finish Zhou family, I have to finish my arrangement as soon as possible."
Shen Tianyun nodded his head, "I see, don't push yourself too hard. More importantly, you have to prioritize your safety first okay?" Although he was very confident in Lin Xueyue, he couldn't just let go of his worry easily since she is a woman he loves deary.
Lin Xueyue felt warm in her heart, her lips curved up slightly, "I know." She replied softly without saying anything further.
"Alright, I will go make some porridge for Yan'er now. Don't forget to tell me if anything happens." Shen Tianyun still nagged a little further before he hung up.
"Yan'er, I will make some food for you. Be obedient and wait for me." He said to Liu Feiyan lovingly. The latter nodded her head in reply, a sweetness bloomed in her heart, this is the first time for her to be taken care of by Shen Tianyun.
Shen Tianyun was about to go out of the room, suddenly, Liu Feiyan's phone rang out. He briskly walked to the table and picked it up. He saw a familiar number on the phone as he remembered it was Producer Mo Yuyan's number and immediately pressed the green button.
"Hello, Producer Mo." He said.
"Eh? Mister Shen?" Mo Yuyan surprised slightly, she looked at her phone again to confirm that she didn't dial the wrong number.
"Yes, it's me. My girlfriend Feiyan has a fever right now so I have received the call instead of her. What can I help you?" Shen Tianyun maintained the politeness as usual.
"Oh, it's like this. I have a new project for you. We are going to make a new music video for our new star Miss Ling Chen. I would like to invite you to participate in this project. You will appear in the music video as a male lead who has a talent in piano. I don't know if you are interested in it?" Mo Yuyan explained in a professional manner.
Shen Tianyun pondered for a while, tomorrow he has to participate in the swimming competition. He didn't know if he still has time to do this project. He probed further, "Do I need to go to Beijing? Tomorrow I have a swimming competition so I will have free time on Sunday only."
Mo Yuyan fell into silence for a while before she replied, "Yes, you have to come to Beijing. There is no problem, you can take a morning flight on Sunday and go back in the evening. I don't think we will use that much time because you only have 4 or 5 scenes to shoot. What do you think?"
Shen Tianyun pondered to weighing the pros and cons for a moment, "Alright, I agree. I will take the morning flight on Sunday. Producer Mo can send me a detail later." He answered in a relaxed voice.
Mo Yuyan beamed with joy, "Thank you, I will send the information to you later."
