Lin Tianci was somewhat surprised.
It was still quite early, yet this girl had already come over without hesitation.
It seemed she had been coming here often these past few days.
Lin Tianci's heart stirred.
"Qing Tan, did you miss me? You came looking for me so early in the morning." Lin Tianci smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Qing Tan had just wanted to speak when Lin Tianci made her blush.
She was still rather inexperienced. Although she liked Lin Tianci very much, she was still too embarrassed to say certain things aloud.
After teasing Qing Tan a little, Lin Tianci's mood greatly improved.
He did not say anything more.
After all, he knew Qing Tan was thin-skinned. If he said a few more words, the shy young girl might not be able to take it and would run away.
That would truly be more trouble than it was worth.
Since Qing Tan had come looking for him, it would be rather unromantic for Lin Tianci to continue cultivating.
Thus, Lin Tianci directly stopped practicing the Heavenly Opening Seal.
With his current talent, learning the Heavenly Opening Seal was merely a matter of looking through it once. There was no need to rush.
Lin Tianci covered three steps in two and arrived directly before Qing Tan.
As though she had sensed what was about to happen, Qing Tan's cheeks flushed red as she closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Tianci chuckled and kissed her.
A long while passed again.
Only after the young girl's breathing had grown hurried did Lin Tianci finally pull his lips away.
Qing Tan felt as though her mind had gone fuzzy from a lack of oxygen.
She took several deep breaths before she gradually recovered her senses.
After separating his lips from Qing Tan's, Lin Tianci sensed something different.
"Qing Tan, have you been cultivating?"
"Mm." Qing Tan nodded, then looked at Lin Tianci expectantly.
Lin Tianci could not help clicking his tongue.
In his opinion, aside from himself, Lin Tianci, who had cheats, Qing Tan should have been the most talented person in the entire Lin Family.
He remembered that when he had seen Qing Tan here a few days ago, she had not possessed any cultivation at all.
Yet in such a short time, Qing Tan had already reached the Body Tempering Seventh Layer!
At this rate, even eating all kinds of spirit herbs and medicinal pills like candy every day would not let someone advance so quickly.
If Lin Hong and Lin Xia found out, they would probably be so discouraged that they would lose all desire to cultivate.
"As expected of the future Lord of Darkness," Lin Tianci murmured softly.
"What?" Lin Tianci's voice had been too low, so Qing Tan had not heard him and asked curiously.
"Nothing. I said you're amazing." Lin Tianci rubbed Qing Tan's little head and smiled.
Only after hearing Lin Tianci's praise did Qing Tan nod in satisfaction.
Then she said softly, "Brother Tianci, I'll cultivate seriously from now on, so I won't fall farther and farther behind you."
Lin Tianci froze, then a deep sense of warmth rose in his heart.
Little Qing Tan was just too, too, too, too, too adorable.
But wasn't that precisely the charm of a Cultivation System?
Before Lin Tianci could think further, Qing Tan continued, "Actually, after Brother Tianci kissed me that day, I felt a strange condition appear inside my body."
"Then, when I woke up today, I discovered that I had somehow broken through to the Body Tempering Sixth Layer. After cultivating just a little more, I reached the Body Tempering Seventh Layer."
After saying that, Qing Tan even stuck out her little tongue.
So that was it.
Lin Tianci nodded thoughtfully. The Malevolent Qi within Qing Tan's body had originally been abundant and chaotic, making it impossible for her to absorb it.
However, whenever Lin Tianci had used the Chaos Ancestor Stone several times, he had also casually helped regulate the chaotic Yin Sha Qi within Qing Tan's body. That was why Qing Tan could cultivate with it and charge all the way to the Body Tempering Seventh Layer in one go!
"Brother Tianci, I feel like cultivation isn't that difficult after all." Qing Tan spoke softly.
Lin Tianci was speechless upon hearing this.
Cultivating was indeed as simple as eating and drinking for him, but that was entirely because he had cheats!
"Since you think it's easy, then I'll kiss you more often from now on." Lin Tianci spoke, and before Qing Tan could react, he kissed her again.
"Mm!" Qing Tan's eyes suddenly widened. Then she closed them again and shyly responded to Lin Tianci.
Only after a long while did Lin Tianci finally pull his lips away in satisfaction.
"How about it, Qing Tan? Do you feel like you're about to break through this time?" Lin Tianci asked with a mischievous smile.
"Brother Tianci..." Qing Tan was too shy to speak.
Still, she could feel that after Lin Tianci had kissed her, the Yin Sha Qi within her body seemed to have been regulated much more.
"Alright, Qing Tan. I'm going to cultivate the technique now."
Lin Tianci spoke.
"Mm." Qing Tan nodded obediently, then stood to one side and quietly watched Lin Tianci comprehend the technique.
It had to be said that the Sixth-Grade Martial Art, the Heavenly Opening Seal, was far more powerful than the Fourth Grade Martial Art, the Limitless Eight Desolations Palm. Correspondingly, it was also much harder to learn.
Even with Lin Tianci's current talent, his first attempt at unleashing the Heavenly Opening Seal was rather difficult.
Fortunately, difficult as it was, Lin Tianci still managed to execute it clumsily.
It was just that its power was certainly far inferior to a perfect version of the Heavenly Opening Seal.
Even so, when this seal emerged, several distant trees exploded with a boom.
"Wh-what a powerful martial art." Qing Tan's eyes were filled with admiration.
Now that she possessed cultivation, she could naturally sense the power of the martial art Lin Tianci was currently using.
Even though the Heavenly Opening Seal was not aimed at her, it still made the Yin Sha Qi within Qing Tan's body tremble.
"This is already powerful?" Lin Tianci smiled faintly.
Then, he began performing the Heavenly Opening Seal once more.
With the previous failure behind him, Lin Tianci's Heavenly Opening Seal was executed quite successfully this time.
With merely its opening stance, sand and stones flew everywhere.
A powerful aura instantly erupted from Lin Tianci's body.
After striking the First Seal, Lin Tianci did not attack the distant woods, but directed it toward the ground.
After all, because of his cultivation over these past days, he had already battered the nearby trees bare.
A massive palm print immediately appeared on the ground, a full ten meters deep!
One had to know that beneath the layer of soil lay nothing but solid mountain rock!
The Heavenly Opening Seal was far more powerful than he had imagined!
"So amazing! Is this also Brother Tianci's Self-Created Martial Art?" Qing Tan could not help exclaiming.
"Uh..." Lin Tianci blanked out for a moment, then nodded.
The martial arts rewarded by the system could not be explained to outsiders, so Lin Tianci could only accept this title for now.
"Brother Tianci truly is a genius, far more amazing than Brother Lin Dong." Qing Tan could not help crying out.
