16 Cultivation and Invitation?!

"Nooooo!" Sitting on Zhao Tian's lap in the car, Zhao Ying exclaimed hugging him "I don't wanna go... I want to kiss you more."

Zhao Tian smiled wryly as he glanced through the window and saw a woman approaching the car "Ying'er your friend is here... you have to go."

Zhao Ying pouted her lips and planted a gentle kiss on his lips "Come and pick me up later, ok?" Zhao Tian nodded and opened the door letting Zhao Ying out.

Today he is not going to the university and thought of cultivating. He needs to get stronger quickly since this novel has an 'overpowered' tag. As she left, Zhao Tian drove his car back to home.

...

"Alchemy huh?" Xia Shenyi pondered looking at Zhao Tian who was sitting cross-legged under the array. "Yeah, there should be healing pills or something like that, right?"

Xia Shenyi nodded her head "There are pills and there are also healing elixirs." Zhao Tian was intrigued "There are even elixirs?"

Xia Shenyi spoke with a nod "Pills are mostly created by cultivators who have a strong affinity to fire because it will be easy for them to refine the ingredients. Elixirs can be done by anyone who has good control of their astral energy but it will consume more time."

Zhao Tian frowned "Do you know how to create pills or elixirs?"

Xia Shenyi smiled as she raised her hand *frish* and an orange flame appeared in her hand "I have an affinity for fire and water."

"Oh, that's good... create a healing pill for me to heal an injury." Zhao Tian spoke with a smile. Xia Shenyi frowned "What happened? You didn't seem hurt."

"My lover got injured yesterday, so I need a healing pill to heal her." Hearing this, Xia Shenyi's frown deepened "So you do have a lover in your star, well... with that face, I'd be surprised if you don't."

Zhao Tian chuckled faintly "Are you angry?" Xia Shenyi shook her head "Why should I? Because you have another woman? Powerful people in the high star have hundreds of wives and thousands of concubines."

"And you are the Honoured One. If you have many women, it means, as a man you are strong and capable enough to hold a big harem of women. But I am still a little angry that you hid it from me till now."

Zhao Tian smiled dryly in his mind, he was single till yesterday. The corners of Xia Shenyi's mouth curved into a smile as she spoke "Seems like the pill is for my sister and... is the injury serious?"

Zhao Tian chuckled lightly as he shook his head "Not serious." "Then, a low-grade healing pill is enough."

...

Xia Shenyi continued looking over Zhao Tian as he cultivated, to help him if anything happened during his cultivation. "A heaven-grade cultivation technique with his Honoured One physique is doing wonders. He crossed the nine levels of the first Mystic Astral stage in a day."

*woosh* Suddenly a tremendous amount of astral energy got sucked inside Zhao Tian's body. Xia Shenyi's gaze became more focused "Unlike others, he needs a lot of energy for crossing a stage... must be because of his physique. Guess this will make him stronger than others at the same level."

A little later, Zhao Tian opened his eyes a faint smile playing on his lips "Already crossed the Mystic Astral stage? How do you feel?"

With a slight tilt of his head, Zhao Tian spoke "Although it is boring to cultivate, I like this refreshing feeling in my body after crossing a stage. Haa..." A captivating blue aura shrouded him as he manipulated a bit of astral energy in his body.

Huh? Xia Shenyi suddenly raised her eyebrow "Tian, what did you do just now?" "Um, using astral energy?" Zhao Tian said.

Xia Shenyi shook her head "No, No... I just felt a different kind of vibe or energy from you." Zhao Tian got confused by her remark "Different kind of energy?" a blue energy wrapped his fists.

"I am just using my astral energy to strengthen my body with the cultivation technique. Is there something wrong?" 

Xia Shenyi couldn't help but let out a sigh as she observed "Nothing, I just felt the astral energy a little weird from you..." *ring* *ring* At this time, the sound of a ringing phone broke the silence catching their attention.

"It's already time? I didn't get to spend time with you. You only cultivated till now." Xia Shenyi spoke in exasperation. 

Zhao Tian smiled walking towards her "And because of that, I managed to cross the first stage..." he spoke, softly taking her body in his arms.

Xia Shenyi wrapped her right arm around his neck, placing her left hand on his chest. "Hmm.. the seal is in its place." she mused sensing the seal.

Hearing Zhao Tian's words, she placed a seal before to hide his physique and even hide his cultivation. "Why are you even hiding your cultivation too?"

Zhao Tian spoke, his fingers delicately caressing her cheek "Not to attract some unwanted eyes by showing myself as a cultivator."

Xia Shenyi nodded her head "A seal on your physique is not gonna stay for a long time. The first time I found your physique because the seal that was placed on you was weakened through years because your body was repelling that seal and I also have a physique that can identify other physiques."

"Your body will also repel this seal soon... finally breaking it. Your physique is so overpowering."

Zhao Tian sighed "That's why I asked you to find any artifact in the warehouse that can hide cultivation." Xia Shenyi spoke "What can I do? The warehouse is big and I have to test the artifacts one by one to know their effects. And there are also many interesting technique books and scrolls."

Zhao Tian patted her head "Take your time and slowly search." Xia Shenyi responded with a smile, her eyes briefly shifting towards the cauldron in the distance. *thud* The lid opened and three green pills floated to her.

"Here it is. three low-grade healing pills." Zhao Tian smiled and stored the pills inside his space ring. He gently pressed his lips against her forehead, leaving a tender kiss. "I am leaving!"

...

It was already evening and in the parking lot, Zhao Tian was waiting in his car to pick up Zhao Ying from the university. As he was scrolling through the phone *thud* *thud* someone knocked on the window.

Zhao Tian looked through the window and saw a woman wearing professional clothes looking at him. He lowered the glass panel and frowned.

Though a little taken aback by Zhao Tian's handsomeness the woman spoke with a little cough "Our madam wishes to meet you..." she said pointing at a black luxury car in the parking lot.

Hm? Zhao Tian glanced at the luxury car. Who could it be? "No problem. If she wishes, she can come and meet me."

H-Huh? The woman was startled "I-I mean, Sir... I need you to come and meet our madam."

"I am not the one who wishes to see her. If she wanna meet, ask her to come here," he siad. The woman got irritated and frowned "Do you know who our madam is?"

Not minding her, Zhao Tian raised the glass panel and again glanced through the mobile phone. The woman also quickly left to inform her madam.

A little later, *thud* someone again knocked on the window. Zhao Tian turned his gaze and squinted his eyes as he saw the stunning middle-aged woman with black hair and blue eyes. A milf?

He lowered the glass panel and asked "Why do you wanna meet me?" The woman was pleasantly surprised seeing his face "You look even more handsome now that I see you than in the photo."

"You wanted to meet me to say this?" Zhao Tian asked and the woman 'smiled' "How polite of you... can you please come out so we can have a good talk?"

Zhao Tian sensed around the place and saw another woman standing beside the luxury car. A cultivator bodyguard? Is she some kind of big shot?

*thud* Opening the door, Zhao Tian came outside "So?" The woman smiled extending her hand "Hello, my name is Fei Lingxi."

Fei? No wonder a cultivator bodyguard. "So you are Ziyu's mom?" Zhao Tian asked shaking her hand. Fei Lingxi nodded her head "Yeah, I am."

"Hm... what do you wanna talk?" Fei Lingxi was quite stunned because everyone would respect her if they knew her name but the young man seemed unfazed. 'No wonder, my daughter is going to such lengths...'

"I heard that you rejected my daughter and she was shut in her room yesterday and refused to come outside." Fei Lingxi frowned her eyebrows as she spoke.

A sigh escaped Zhao Tian's lips "She confessed to me and I politely rejected her saying my feelings. Did you come here so you could force me to date your daughter?"

Fei Lingxi shook her head gently "I just want you to reconsider her. I really don't know what she is lacking to be rejected by you... Many sons of wealthy companies have been asking me to betrothal my daughter to them. But she refused all of them and chose you."

"But in the end, she got rejected by you. As her mother, seeing her shut in her room without eating any food concerns me."

Zhao Tian casually leaned on his car "So what do you want me to do now?"

Fei Lingxi closed her eyes with a weary sigh as she felt it hard to deal with this young man "Leave it aside, I will somehow convince her..." she spoke beckoning to her PA. The woman came with a golden invitation in her hand.

Fei Lingxi took the invitation, extending it to Zhao Tian "Here, In two weeks is Ziyu's birthday and I hope you will come. By the way, you are the only one I invite personally."

Zhao Tian took the invitation "If I had time." Fei Lingxi's lips twitched hearing this "It was very nice to meet you, Mr. Tian." she spoke and walked away.

Zhao Tian tossed the invitation card into the car and glanced at Fei Lingxi talking with the other cultivator woman.

Fei Lingxi spoke in a low voice "Is he a cultivator?" The woman shook her head glimpsing at the handsome white-haired young man "No ma'am."

"Hm... ok, let's leave." As the car drove away, Fei Lingxi sitting inside the car looked over at Zhao Tian "See you at the party, Mr.Tian."

A little later, Zhao Ying came running towards him with a joyful smile "Tian'errrrr." Zhao Tian smiled and hugged her "Ying'er."

"Come and get inside the car." Zhao Ying hurriedly entered the car and Zhao Tian entered after her. *thud* As soon as he entered, Zhao Ying jumped on him "I missed you, Tian'er."

"I missed you too," he spoke hugging her. As she lay on his shoulders, Zhao Tian spoke "Ying'er close your eyes. I have a sweet for you."

Trusting him, Zhao Ying closed her eyes, opening her pink lips. Is he gonna kiss me? But she felt something on her tongue "Ying'er. It's a medicine, eat it."

Huh? Zhao Ying abruptly opened her eyes "Medicine?" Zhao Tian nodded his head "Its a powerful medicine I found online, it would heal your injury quickly."

 Zhao Ying swallowed the pill and Zhao Tian frowned "Ho you feel?" Zhao Ying chuckled pinching his cheek "Idiot, it will take a while for the medicine to work."

Zhao Tian frowned his eyebrows 'As Shenyi said, because Ying'er is not a cultivator it will take a while to take effect.'
