Chapter 449: Chapter 451: Are there three levels to getting beaten?

"Holy crap, Boss Fei, did you see my glowing red carrot?"

Upon hearing Murong Fei’s words, Qin Tian instinctively glanced at his crotch, his voice betraying utter shock.

"You... You’re so dirty! I meant your body is as red as a carrot... you... pervert!"

Murong Fei, infuriated and embarrassed by Qin Tian’s words, clicked her high heels and stormed upstairs without looking back.

"Hey, you haven’t told me why you came back so early today. I thought you’d be back late, so that’s why I wasn’t wearing any clothes... Don’t get the wrong idea, okay? It’s my loss that you saw everything." Qin Tian said innocently.

By this time, Murong Fei had already gone upstairs. "Do I need your permission to come back whenever I want? If you mess around in the house again, I’ll castrate you!"

"Yikes... that’s brutal."

...

Although the cultivation process was interrupted by a minor incident involving Murong Fei, she didn’t say anything about it, and it seemed she had moved on from the business of calling off the engagement, and her behavior towards Qin Tian was no longer that odd.

Therefore, Qin Tian didn’t pay any more attention to Murong Fei. After she went upstairs, he continued with his seventh attempt at the ’boiling water cultivation’ downstairs.

Yep, calling it ’boiling water cultivation’ seems apt.

"Hiss..."

"Damn..."

"Ugh..."

On the seventh attempt, his body still reacted; his skin, already numb from the scalding, could still feel the burning pain, though it was much less than before.

In the bathroom, Qin Tian was wholly focused on his cultivation amidst shouts and cries, while outside, when Murong Fei went downstairs and heard Qin Tian alone in the bathroom yelling, her thoughts immediately wandered to something she shouldn’t have imagined, and she frowned in distaste: "This guy, being filthy in the bathroom in broad daylight!"

Having said this, her beautiful eyes blinked as she left the house.

After completing the boiling water cultivation, the next item on the agenda was the ice water cultivation.

That involved putting ice cubes in the bathtub to lower the water temperature and then soaking in the icy water to train the skin’s ability to withstand the cold. In the most extreme cases, the cultivation could even be done inside a freezer.

"First it was boiling water cultivation, now it’s ice water cultivation. This is like experiencing both extremes of fire and ice." Qin Tian couldn’t help but feel emotional. Later, he found that there weren’t enough ice cubes in the villa, and the water temperature during cultivation wasn’t low enough—it had to be at least 1 degree or even 0 degrees to be meaningful for cultivation.

After thinking it over, Qin Tian decided to go to the hospital to cultivate.

The hospital’s morgue should be cold enough, right?

So, Qin Tian quietly gathered his tools, a set of clothes for changing, and taking advantage of the night, snuck into the morgue of a nearby hospital to endure the ultimate test of cold.

This time he couldn’t be loud. What if someone at the hospital heard him? What then?

What if his cries woke up the dead bodies nearby...

Thus, Qin Tian endured, clenched his teeth, sat cross-legged, and cultivated in silence.

From around five in the afternoon until nine at night, he cultivated until his whole body was covered in ice, shivering all over. Only then did he change into clean clothes and slip out of the hospital.

For an entire week, Qin Tian spent his time cultivating this way—soaking in boiling water baths during the day, and at night, heading to the hospital morgue to "chat" with the bodies.

As for matters concerning War Dragon, Qin Tian had entrusted Zhou Yang, Lin Yu, and Xiao Zhuang to handle them together.

Zhou Yang and the others asked Qin Tian out of curiosity, "Boss, you haven’t been to Wolong Mountain for a week. Did something happen? Do you need help?"

Qin Tian had grievances that he couldn’t express; this was help they truly couldn’t provide.

"I’m in cultivation, at a critical juncture. Don’t worry about me," he said, shrouded in mystery.

Last time he cultivated the Flowing Cloud Skill, Qin Tian could say he hadn’t put his heart into it, but this time...

There was no choice, his meridians were sealed. Without succeeding in cultivation soon, his strength would remain at just over thirty percent. Facing a formidable opponent, he’d only be toying around!

After persisting for a week, Qin Tian’s cultivation, which was like ice and fire, finally came to a pause. His skin color had noticeably changed, but fortunately, his naturally tanned skin made him look even healthier. It’s just that, perhaps because he’d been staying in the morgue too long, the yin energy was quite heavy. He felt he looked very different from before. (A serious reminder to readers: do not imitate cultivation; after all, you are not Qin Tian... using boiling water for a bath... cough cough... might directly land you in the hospital morgue.)

After coming out from the last cultivation session in the morgue, Qin Tian went straight to Green Bamboo Forest Villa.

On the way, he flipped through the "Sunflower Secret Manual" and learned about the next item of cultivation: take beatings.

Seeing this item, Qin Tian immediately clenched up, thinking, damn it, I’ve been the one doing the beating for so many years, and now I have to accept the trial of being beaten?

"Taking beatings is divided into three levels. The first level: superficial suffering; the second level: bone pain; the third level: internal organ injury," he read.

Qin Tian looked at the words on the "Sunflower Secret Manual" and could only give a wry smile.

Damn, there’s so much sophistication to getting beaten up?

It’s like being screwed over by fate!

Simply put, the first level of taking beatings, superficial suffering, means being lightly injured so that the skin can be trained to resist impacts.

The second level, bone pain, is about enduring beatings with sticks, steel pipes, and the like, to condition both skin and bones in impact resistance and recovery.

The third level, internal organ injury, is the highest degree of injury. To put it lightly, it means training the internal organs to withstand beatings; to put it seriously, it’s about being beaten up severely — coughing up blood!

"Holy shit... Can I regret this now..."

After seeing the three levels of training, Qin Tian wanted to cry but had no tears; he sighed deeply to the sky, cursing the Body Tempering Technique. Who the hell invented this thing? Step forward, see if I don’t beat you to death...

This time, Qin Tian felt he’d been lured into a trap. Now that his meridians were sealed, what else could he do? There was no other choice!

He just had to grit his teeth and continue cultivating!

The good news was, if he survived the training of these three levels, this Body Tempering Technique would be considered minorly successful, and he could unseal his meridians and acupuncture points.

According to the "Sunflower Secret Manual," once he withstands the internal organ injury from the third level, as long as his internal organs hold up, after the final successful cultivation, the last hit to the internal organs would break open his sealed meridians and acupuncture points. By then, Qin Tian’s sealed strength would automatically recover.

"I can’t even... If my internal organs hold up, I’ll recover my strength, but if they don’t, am I just going to die?"

Qin Tian rolled his eyes in frustration, bitterly smiling, "I just hope I’m not dead by the time cultivation succeeds, amen!"

"Ms. Murong, give me a chance!"

"Ms. Murong, you can’t do this. You can’t just win me over when you need me and kick me to the curb when you don’t!"

"Ms. Murong..."

Just before reaching Green Bamboo Forest Villa, Qin Tian could hear a rough man’s voice from afar. Lifting his eyes, he saw at the entrance of Green Bamboo Forest, a middle-aged man blocking Murong Fei’s car, refusing to let Murong Fei drive into the garage!
