Chapter 10: Minor Success in the Golden Eyes of Illusion, the Master's Wife's Reward

Zhou Tian had just returned from Liu Ruyan's cave, and the soreness in his waist had not completely subsided.

"Senior Sister Ziling, I'm sorry."

Zi Ling's smile froze, instantly replaced by a look of grievance.

She pouted, her voice lowering slightly, "Junior brother, what do you mean? Do you mean you're looking down on your senior sister?"

"Senior sister has misunderstood," Zhou Tian quickly explained.

"Senior Sister Liu asked for too much before, please let me rest before coming again."

"All right."

Hearing Zhou Tian's words, Zi Ling felt a little disappointed.

He couldn't help but feel resentful towards Liu Ruyan; Liu Ruyan was truly wicked.

Zi Ling stepped forward and reached out to straighten Zhou Tian's slightly disheveled clothes, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Then you should rest well, junior brother. I'll come find you later."

After saying that, she couldn't help but tiptoe and give Zhou Tian a light peck on the cheek.

Then she turned around and walked away, her skirt swaying in the breeze.

Looking at Zi Ling's slightly lonely figure, Zhou Tian sighed inwardly.

Although Zi Ling was indeed very attractive to Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Tian also wanted to experience Zi Ling's gentleness again.

But Zhou Tian still had to go back to cultivate first.

"Sigh, I still need to keep getting stronger, otherwise I won't be able to do anything with those pretty fairies."

Without further hesitation, Zhou Tian turned and stepped into his cave.

His cave dwelling was much simpler than those of Liu Ruyan and Ziling.

There was only a stone bed and a futon, nothing else.

Zhou Tian sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and began to guide the spiritual energy within his body according to the cultivation method of the Golden Eyes of Truth.

The effect of [Tenfold Talent] takes effect instantly.

The originally obscure and difficult cultivation formulas were automatically deconstructed in his mind and became clear and understandable.

The spiritual energy, like a rushing stream, flows continuously towards the eyes along a specific route.

At first, Zhou Tian only felt a slight swelling in his eyes, as if countless fine needles were gently pricking them.

As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the soreness and swelling became more and more intense, until finally, the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

"As expected of a divine ability that can only be mastered by those at the Golden Core stage or above."

But Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and persevered.

He knew that this was a supernatural power transforming his eyes, and only by overcoming this hurdle could he truly master the Golden Eyes of Truth.

Time passed little by little, one day, two days, seven days, gone in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, Zhou Tian barely stopped, focusing all his attention on cultivating the Golden Eyes of Truth.

The morning of the seventh day.

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the cave and onto Zhou Tian's face, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Two faint golden lights flashed from his eyes, and his originally dark pupils now faintly revealed a golden glow.

Zhou Tian casually picked up an ordinary stone cup from the table.

In his view, the surface of the stone cup seemed to become transparent.

The thickness of the cup wall, the internal texture, and even the faint trace of spiritual energy clinging to the bottom of the cup are all clearly visible.

"It's done!"

Zhou Tian's face lit up with ecstasy.

"In just seven days, he cultivated the Golden Eyes of Illusion to the minor completion stage!"

Just then, a charming voice came from outside the cave; it was Master's wife.

"Zhou Tian, ​​are you inside the cave?"

Zhou Tian's heart stirred, and he immediately felt a little puzzled.

Why did my master's wife come to find me at this time?

He quickly got up, straightened his clothes, and opened the cave door: "Master's wife, your disciple is here."

The master's wife was still wearing that red dress, her figure graceful and naturally alluring.

She looked Zhou Tian up and down, and seeing his calm demeanor and the golden glint in his eyes, she nodded slightly.

"His cultivation level has actually broken through to the peak of the Qi Refining stage?"

"Looks like you've been quite busy these past few days."

The teacher's wife's tone carried a hint of satisfaction.

Having Zhou Tian train offspring for the Tai Xuan Sword Sect was a helpless move by his master's wife, as she didn't actually think highly of him.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Tian performed so well.

Then the conversation shifted.

"How's it going with Liu Ruyan?"

Zhou Tian knew what his master's wife was referring to, and a shy smile appeared on his face: "Master's wife, Senior Sister Ruyan is already pregnant."

"She's pregnant? So fast!"

The master's wife was also somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Could Zhou Tian be the legendary innate staking body? How did he manage to get Liu Ruyan pregnant so quickly?

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tian's lips curled up slightly.

This is just pregnancy. If Zhou Tian were to reveal the secret that Liu Ruyan had raised her cultivation to the late Golden Core stage on her own, his master's wife would probably be completely dumbfounded.

But since Liu Ruyan didn't reveal her secret, Zhou Tian wasn't going to either.

Zhou Tian's strength is still too weak. If he were to rashly expose his secrets, it would not be a good thing for him.

Both Liu Ruyan and Zi Ling were extremely difficult for Zhou Tian to deal with.

If there were a few more women, Zhou Tian wouldn't be able to handle it even with all the Dragon Essence and Tiger Ferocity Pills he had!

But then, a smile appeared on the teacher's wife's face.

"As expected of a disciple of my Tai Xuan Sword Sect, you've truly lived up to expectations!"

"Just tell your master's wife what reward you want."

The master's wife spoke again.

Zhou Tian thought about it and realized that he needed far too many things right now.

Previously, Zhou Tian was useless and naturally couldn't obtain many resources, but now things are different.

"Master's wife, I need cultivation resources, the more the better."

Zhou Tian said without hesitation.

"Sure, that's no problem at all."

The master's wife said without hesitation.

Although the Tai Xuan Sword Sect was previously invaded by the Demonic Sect, resulting in the loss of most of its resources.

But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; it can still support Zhou Tian perfectly well.

The master's wife seemed to remember something and continued:

"By the way, the mountain-protecting formation has been a bit unstable lately, with abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy at its core. Go to the back mountain with Qinglian and check on the state of the core."

"Senior Sister Zhao Qinglian?" Zhou Tian was slightly taken aback.

His mind subconsciously drifted to that scene at the Spirit Spring.

"good."

"And you might even be able to develop a relationship with Qinglian through this opportunity."

Zhou Tian's lips twitched, and he was about to say something.

But the master's wife waved her hand, and with a flash, she turned into a red shadow and disappeared from the spot.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Tian turned around and headed towards Zhao Qinglian's cave.

As soon as Zhou Tian arrived at Zhao Qinglian's cave, he saw a familiar white figure.

Zhao Qinglian held a long sword, her movements light and graceful, the sword light flashing like a bolt of lightning, carrying a sharp aura.

Fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, adding a touch of allure to her otherwise cool and aloof face.

Upon hearing footsteps, Zhao Qinglian paused.

He whirled around, his longsword pointing directly at Zhou Tian, ​​his eyes wary: "Who?"

Upon seeing that it was Zhou Tian, ​​the wariness in her eyes faded, replaced by a complex mix of emotions and a hint of barely perceptible shyness.

"Senior Sister Zhao, it's me." Zhou Tian shrugged.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Qinglian sheathed her longsword and looked at Zhou Tian with a complicated expression.

"My master's wife asked me to come and call you so we can go check the key point of the mountain-protecting formation together."
