Chapter 70: A Challenge to Zhu Zhuyun
Zhu Zhuqing saw the dragon beard needle and was somewhat dismissive of it.
"What use could such a fine needle be?"
Qi Tian didn't explain, but went to the courtyard and used his Spirit Possession to defend his body with his soul power.
Then he activated the Dragon Beard Needle and stabbed it into the back of his hand.
The soul power defense was as fragile as paper, and it was pierced by the Dragon Beard Needle, which then pierced into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt a stinging pain in her arm.
"Hiss~ It can actually break through the soul power defense?" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in shock.
Qi Tian nodded. The Dragon Beard Needle was made of special material and could break through protective qi, that is, soul power defense.
However, because it is too light, it cannot be used as a long-range attack method.
"That's not all!" Qi Tian withdrew the soul power he had channeled into the Dragon Beard Needle, which soon curled up.
The dragon whisker needle contracted and gripped Zhu Zhuqing's muscles.
"Hmm~" A muffled groan came from Zhu Zhuqing in Qi Tian's mind.
Qi Tian quickly channeled his soul power and pulled out the Dragon Beard Needle.
"How about this dragon whisker needle?" Qi Tian asked.
Zhu Zhuqing completely acknowledged its power: "It's amazing!"
What intrigued her even more was Qi Tian's ability to create things out of thin air, since she clearly didn't have such a treasure in her soul tool.
However, she didn't ask any further questions. This method must be a big secret, and Qi Tian probably wouldn't tell her.
"Alright, I'll teach you the technique for launching the dragon whisker needles so you can practice on your own when I'm not around!"
"good!"
Qi Tian practiced the technique of launching the Dragon Beard Needle in the courtyard.
With Zhu Zhuqing's soul power and strength, she can launch attacks over a distance of about two meters, which can sometimes catch enemies off guard and cause them harm.
Zhu Zhuqing studied very diligently. Thanks to her possession of the five senses in this body, she could synchronize with Qi Tian, and she learned the technique very quickly.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Zhuqing's soul power broke through to level twenty-two.
Over the past three months, Zhu Zhuqing has been diligently cultivating, either at home or in the Great Soul Arena.
However, she participated in one-on-one spirit battles, which were restricted; she could not use weapons other than her spirit.
Therefore, she was at a disadvantage, losing more often than winning against those Soul Elders who were close to level 30, and earning very few Gold Soul Coins.
Meanwhile, in Silves City, Qi Tian was both battling spirits and placing bets, making a fortune, with the majority of his winnings coming from betting.
Some Soul Masters even invited him to team up for battles, and Qi Tian didn't refuse in order to earn more Soul Coins.
Because of his dual-body cultivation, his control over the Blue Silver Spear Formation became more refined, making him fearless in any team battle against opponents of the same level.
...
On this day, Qi Tian possessed Zhu Zhuqing's body once again.
"So, have you saved enough money to buy Whale Glue yet?" Qi Tian joked.
Zhu Zhuqing's personality had become much more cheerful. She said bitterly, "No, it wasn't until I went to the Great Soul Arena that I realized there are always people stronger than me!"
"Let me lend you a piece of Whale Glue first. Remember to pay me back when you've earned enough money!" Qi Tian said.
He planned to meet Zhu Zhuyun, help Zhu Zhuqing defeat Zhu Zhuyun, and complete the mission as soon as possible to withdraw from the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to refuse, but ultimately remained silent.
She has made a lot of progress recently and has learned some principles: the deeper the relationship between two people, the closer their connection becomes.
The more Qi Tian invests in her, the less willing he will be to give her up.
She was also afraid that Qi Tian would abandon her one day, so she wanted to get even closer to him.
"good!"
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Qi Tian flipped his hand and took out a black card.
This is the Gold Soul Coin Card, which is used by banks throughout the continent. Zhu Zhuqing recognizes this thing.
Zhu Zhuqing was already used to Qi Tian's ability to conjure things out of thin air, so she didn't say anything.
"Let's go to the grand auction house! And check out the pharmacy!" Qi Tian had long wanted to spend money in Star Luo City.
This is the center of the Star Luo Empire, rich in resources. Some rare items should be cheaper here than in Silves City.
For example, Whale Glue.
Qi Tian also needs to consume Whale Glue to replenish his two major resource sources: his "Original Spirit" and "True Dragon Physique".
It would be of great benefit to him to cultivate his original spirit to its limit as soon as possible and then explore the method of secondary awakening.
So Qi Tian decided to take some money to Star Luo City to shop around and buy Whale Glue for his main body.
Half a day later, Qi Tian bought four pieces of Whale Glue and sent three of them back to the main body.
"Sigh, buying Whale Glue in the big city isn't cheaper than over there. I can't do international business anymore!" Qi Tian sighed inwardly.
However, there is a large stock of Whale Glue here, so we don't need to wait for them to transfer more.
With the Whale Glue in hand, Qi Tian went to find Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuyun had no classes in the afternoon and wasn't cultivating at the academy, so she was at home.
"Sister!" Qi Tian called out without any hesitation.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing look somewhat alike, but Zhu Zhuyun has a more debased figure and is a true elder sister!
"Why are you here?" Zhu Zhuyun raised an eyebrow.
She could clearly feel that Qi Tian called her "sister" more casually, unlike the cold "sister" she had called her a few days ago.
Indeed, Zhu Zhuqing would come to see Zhu Zhuyun every few days, even if it was just to have a sip of tea.
However, she was still cold-hearted, and their relationship remained strained, neither good nor bad.
"Sister, I want to spar with you!" Qi Tian pleaded.
Zhu Zhuyun's expression changed, and she said sarcastically, "It seems I was just being presumptuous. My dear sister still hasn't given up?"
She had assumed that her younger sister had listened to her and completely given up on vying for the position of crown prince.
Qi Tian knew what Zhu Zhuyun was thinking and said, "Sister, you've misunderstood!"
"I'm not trying to compete with you for that position; I just want to have a friendly match with you!"
"My current goal in cultivating is to help our Zhu family break free from the shackles of fate and no longer become a vassal of the Dai family!"
As soon as Qi Tian finished speaking, Zhu Zhuyun rushed forward and covered Qi Tian's mouth with her hand.
"Zhu Zhuqing, are you insane? How could you say such a thing? If Father or the royal family finds out, I can't protect you!"
The person with the highest status in the Zhu family is not the head of the family, but the current empress.
Therefore, many people within the Zhu family were lackeys of the royal family and would not side with their own family members.
Zhu Zhuyun's hot and tight figure pressed against Qi Tian, making Qi Tian somewhat distracted.
You should know that he is currently in a state of having one soul and two bodies, and he feels as if his original body is embracing Zhu Zhuyun.
It would be such a waste if such a beautiful woman were to end up with Dai Weisi.
Qi Tian reached out and hugged Zhu Zhuyun, saying, "Sister, let's spar a bit first, so you can see my current strength!"
"Then you might be able to trust me!"
Zhu Zhuyun felt that her younger sister had changed. Being held tightly by her sister, she felt a special feeling rising in her heart.
"Alright, let me see what progress you've made lately!"
Zhu Zhuyun had already been informed that Zhu Zhuqing was training in the Soul Arena, and she also wanted to see the results of Zhu Zhuqing's training.
