Chapter 14: Tempering the bones
After returning to his room. Shi Tian sat down in mediating position and took out the bone tempering pills from the system inventory.
Without any delay, he directly placed the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. As the pill entered his abdomen, it started to melt and a unique type of energy was released from the pill, the energy moved towards his bones automatically.
Hiss!
Shi Tian hissed suddenly with pain as the energy attacked his bones. It was very agonizing, Shi Tian gritted his death as he endured the pain. He was an ordinary boy from the earth before, never endured such pain before in his entire life. Except for one day when someone kicked on his balls, it was the most painful experience until now. But this pain exceeds that pain by far.
"Fuck, this!!!" Shi Tian crushed in his mind, forcing himself to stay awake and concentrate. His bones were repeatedly tempering by the medicinal energy, it was very torturing.
The medicinal energy of the pill spread out in his entire body, assimilated into his bones little by little. After fifteen minutes later, Shi Tian felt the pain subsided as all the medicinal energy was absorbed by his bones.
After digesting the first pill, Shi Tian glanced at the remaining nine pills in his hand, he felt a cold chill in his heart while he stared at the nine pills. He really didn't want to experience that pain again.
After struggling in his mind for five minutes, Shi Tian clenched his teeth and placed the second pill in his mouth.
Although this process was painful, it surely made him strong. This temporary pain was many times better than a big loss in the future for being weak.
As the second resolved inside his stomach, it released another wave of medicinal energy that automatically attacked his bones.
Shi Tian thought after experiencing previous pain, it might feel less painful this time, but he was wrong, it still felt very painful same as before.
Shi Tian spends his next three hours living a hellish life while refining his bone. But his entire bones structure became three to four times stronger than before. Not only that, he could feel that his strength also became stronger than before.
After that Shi Tian didn't cultivate more, he walked out of the room. And decided to take a walk around the house. His house was surrounded by a big garden all around. Shi Tian walked into the garden and curiously looked around. It was quiet and peaceful, he could not hear any sound except noises made by the wind, trees and, birds.
This time, he felt like he returned to his small village on the earth. On the earth, his grandparents live in a small village, their house was surrounded by green fields. It felt peaceful there.
Shi Tian used to went there with his family for summer vacation, he was fond of the peaceful environment of that small village.
Thinking of his family, his heart saddened suddenly. He didn't know when he will be able to return to the earth and don't know whether they would be still alive by the time he will return to the earth.
'No, they will be fine. I must find a way to return to the earth or bring them to this world.' Shi Tian clenched his fists and swore in his heart.
After a few minutes later, he controlled his surging emotions and started looked around.
His house was not located in the city which he expected rather it was located on a small mountain around 15 miles afar from the Red Cloud City.
After coming out of the mansion, Shi Tian could feel the fresh air. He looked at the side, where he could see a giant city surrounding by twenty meters high wall. The design of the city was somewhat similar to the ancient cities that he has seen in the movies and TV series on earth.
Shi Tian's gaze was attracted by the magnificent palace that standing tall like a skyscraper in the north of the city.
'This should be the imperial palace of the Red Cloud City.' Shi Tian thought in his mind as he glanced at the palace.
"Young Master!" As Shi Tian was staring at the Red Cloud City, a sweet voice arrived from his behind. No need to look back, he recognized the owner of the voice, it was Xiu Ying.
Shi Tian looked at the peerless beauty who arrived beside him and couldn't help but think about his girlfriend from the previous life. Although her beauty can't compare to Xiu Ying, to him, she was undoubtedly the best girl.
"Young Master, how are you?" Shi Tian's wandering mind was brought back by the call of Xiu Ying.
"Ahh, I am good, how about you?" Shi Tian replied.
"I am good too!" Xiu Ying replied with a sweet smile. She felt that Shi Tian became a little different from before after the accident.
"By the way, Young Master! When did you come here? I thought you were cultivating." Xiu Ying curiously asked.
"Well, I just came out to take fresh here." Shi Tian replied lightly. Then he glanced and spoke again, "This place is not bad."
After that Shi Tian looked at the city and said, "This city is quite big."
"Hmm! That's because it's the capital city of the Red Cloud Kingdom." Xiu Ying nodded.
"Young Master, should we go to the city to look around?" Xiu Ying said suddenly as she looked at the grand city in front of her. Just like other teenage girls, she was also interested in visiting new places especially when it comes to a grand city like this.
Although they lived in a big clan before, they don't get many chances to go out of the clan. Furthermore, the Shi Clan was established in the midst of the mountains, so it was pretty rare to go to such type of places at their young age.
The Red Cloud City was a city filled with millions of people, undoubtedly it was very crowded and have many new things to see.
"Wait a few more days, we will go together. I am also wanted to see this city." Shi Tian said.
"Hm!" Xiu Ying nodded.
