Cultivator With Modern AI - Chapter 696: Meet Zi Niang Again

The woman is none other than Zi Niang, the daughter of Zi Guang. Xia Tian only remembered her after nearly three months, especially since he was so busy with his women and cultivation.

Hearing Xia Tian’s words, Zi Niang’s feelings became chaotic, causing her cultivation furnace to explode. Luckily, he instantly enveloped them with energy, so the explosion didn’t hurt her.

“Cough…” Zi Niang coughed as she waved her hand to clear the smoke from the room, and she then asked. “Why did you suddenly come here, Master?”

“Oh?” Xia Tian was surprised to hear that. “Have you acknowledged me as your Master now?”

“There’s nothing I can do, right?” Zi Niang asked back with a bitter smile.

After Xia Tian killed her father and enslaved her, Zi Niang repeatedly attempted suicide because she didn’t want to continue living as a slave. However, whenever she tried to do that, his slave mark made her body stiffen, and she couldn’t carry out her intention.

After a month passed, Zi Niang finally gave up, and she kept waiting for Xia Tian to come to her, especially since she didn’t know what he wanted from her by enslaving her. However, after waiting a while, he never came to see her until today.

Xia Tian then sat down on the empty chair and said to her again. “Since you acknowledged me as your master, I will give you something useful for improving your alchemy skills.”

“But it sure isn’t free, right?” Zi Niang asked as she knelt in front of Xia Tian, but he immediately stopped her just as she was about to take off his pants.

Xia Tian touched Zi Niang’s forehead, and he transferred a few things into her memory, shocking her. “Although it’s not my best alchemy technique, it can help you become the best alchemist in this world.”

After all, Zi Niang was only his slave, so Xia Tian naturally wouldn’t give the Alchemy Secret Technique to her, and he only gave it to Liu Ying and Hua Xiangyue, for the two of them were his wives.

Zi Niang immediately closed her eyes and read every sentence and image in the technique. After all, she had practiced alchemy for hundreds of years, and she was a Heaven Grade Alchemist, so she could tell that this technique Xia Tian had given her was extraordinary, even though he said it was not his best alchemy technique. ‘How did he get such a technique? Moreover, the technique is very easy for anyone to learn, including novice alchemists.’

“Are you satisfied with the technique?” Xia Tian asked after Zi Niang opened her eyes.

Zi Niang immediately nodded to him. “Thank you, Master. I have never learned such an extraordinary alchemy technique, and I will definitely learn it well to improve my alchemy abilities.”

“That’s good.” Xia Tian nodded with a satisfied smile. Ever since he first met Zi Niang, he could see that she was also very enthusiastic about alchemy, especially after he smelled such a strong herbal scent from her body, so he decided to help her. “Anyway, starting tomorrow, you can go to the Long Tian Shop, and you will work there as an alchemist.”

“Eh?” Zi Niang was shocked after hearing that. “So the person who humiliated Yang Ye and killed Huo Zun was you, Master?”

“That’s right.” Xia Tian casually replied. “Do you know them well?”

“Yes.” Zi Niang then explained to him. “Yang Ye was actually my grandfather’s disciple, and he was the one who passed down the title of head of the Alchemist Association to him.”

“Oh?” Xia Tian then rubbed his chin. “Why did your grandfather hand the post to a useless alchemist like him? Your alchemy abilities are even higher than his, so I think you are more worthy of the position than him.”

“I have no interest in such a position, and I would rather research and develop my abilities, Master.” Zi Niang replied with a shake of her head. “If I were to become the head of the Alchemist Association, then I would have to take care of insignificant things, which would be a waste of my time.”

Xia Tian nodded repeatedly after hearing that, for he really liked Zi Niang’s determination in alchemy. “If you can maintain your mindset and this determination, I believe you will at least be able to reach the Venerate Alchemist Rank in the future. However, you also can’t forget about your cultivation, and your current cultivation at the 1st Stage Ancestor Origin Realm is too low for you who have lived in this continent for so long.”

“I know.” Zi Niang dejectedly lowered her head. “Unfortunately, my cultivation has been unable to break through for a long time, even though I have tried to do it many times. That’s why my father and I want to obtain Tian Qilian’s beast core, which can help me improve my cultivation.”

Xia Tian’s face darkened upon hearing that. Yet, he immediately lifted Zi Niang up, took off her dress, and pressed his hand to her chest.

Zi Niang didn’t say anything to Xia Tian, and she waited for him to finish inspecting her body. However, she also felt confused by him, especially since he didn’t seem interested in seeing her naked body. ‘Is Master a gay? Or is my body unattractive in his eyes?’

After a while, Xia Tian withdrew his hand and sighed softly; he then took out his needles and used his fire energy to heat them up. “This is going to be very painful, and I don’t know if you will be able to bear the pain, but whatever happens, you have to deal with it.”

“What exactly is my disease, Master?” Zi Niang curiously asked.

“I don’t know what happened to you before, but many of your spiritual roots are blocked, and there is a strange object in your dantian, which makes your cultivation base unable to break through.” Xia Tian explained as he thrust the needles into Zi Niang’s body.

“Hiss!” Zi Niang winced and groaned in pain after Xia Tian started his action, and cold sweat started dripping from her forehead; even her body turned red. “Hiss! Master! This hurts so much!”

“Endure it.” Xia Tian said as he supported Zi Niang’s body, and he continued injecting the needles into many points on her body, causing her to groan in pain continously.

Gradually, Zi Niang felt that her consciousness was fading. Hence, she immediately bit her lip until it bled to keep her awake. ‘Ugh! I have never felt such terrible pain!’

After a while, all of Xia Tian’s needles were already stuck on Zi Niang’s body; he then channeled his energy into her body through the needles. ‘As expected, the blockages in the spiritual roots are too many, so I have to open them one by one.’

*Splurt*

Zi Niang immediately spurted blood from her mouth the moment Xia Tian opened one of the blockages, and her face turned pale from it, but she kept trying to endure the pain.

Two hours later, Xia Tian had finished treating Zi Niang, and the floor before het was soaked with her blood.

Zi Niang immediately slumped into Xia Tian’s arms after he pulled out all the needles, and she weakly asked. “Is everything done, Master?”

“I only need to carry out the final process to expel the strange object in your dantian, and you will be able to increase your cultivation again afterward.” Xia Tian explained as he pressed his palm against Zi Niang’s dantian area.

Zi Niang nodded to him. “You can do it now, Master.”

Xia Tian then closed his eyes, focused on himself, and began to channel his energy into Zi Niang’s dantian.

Soon, Zi Niang felt even more excruciating pain, and she bit Xia Tian’s shoulder quite hard. ‘Ugh! At this rate, I will completely lose my consciousness.’

A strange black object came out of Zi Niang’s mouth minutes later, and Xia Tian instantly crushed it into dust.

“Hah… Hah…” Zi Niang breathed heavily afterward, and her eyes started to dim, but she still managed to ask in a weak voice. “Are you finished, Master?”

“Yes, it’s done.” Xia Tian then carried Zi Niang, laid her on the couch, and used his light energy to help her recover.

m On the other hand, Zi Niang kept looking at Xia Tian in awe. ‘This is the first time I’ve met someone like him. He’s not only a great alchemist but also an amazing physician.’

After he saw that Zi Niang’s condition was improving, he immediately stopped his light energy and pull his hand, but she immediately grabbed it and placed it on her breast, causing him to raise his eyebrows. “What are you doing?”

“Master, am I not attractive in your eyes?” Zi Niang asked with a bitter smile. She felt beautiful, and her body wasn’t bad either, but Xia Tian didn’t even glance at her.

Xia Tian nodded to her. “I admit that you are quite beautiful and smart, but you are nothing compared to my wives, for they are exceptional.”

Zi Niang’s face became sad and disappointed upon hearing that; she didn’t expect Xia Tian to compare her to his wives. However, she was also curious about them, especially since she only knew Tian Qilian, but she had to admit that she was inferior to her.

Zi Niang then sat down and looked at Xia Tian. “Though I can’t compare to them, I am now your slave, so let me serve you as one, Master.”
