Chapter 14 - Bone Tempering

After returning to his room, Shi Tian sat down in a meditative position and took out a Bone Tempering Pill from his 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. The energy moved towards his bones automatically.

Hiss!

Shi Tian hissed in pain as the energy attacked his bones. It was very agonizing. Shi Tian gritted his teeth as he endured the pain. He was an ordinary boy from Earth before, and he had never endured such pain in his entire life. Except for one day when someone kicked him in his privates, that had been the most painful experience until now. But this pain exceeded that pain by far.

"Fuck, this!!!" Shi Tian cursed in his mind, forcing himself to stay awake and concentrate. His bones were being tempered repeatedly by the medicinal energy, and it was a torturous process.

The medicinal energy of the pill spread out in his entire body, assimilating into his bones little by little. Fifteen minutes later, Shi Tian felt the pain subside 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 as he stared at them. 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 stronger. This temporary pain was many times better than a big loss in the future for being weak.

As the second pill dissolved inside his stomach, it released another wave of medicinal energy that automatically attacked his bones.

Shi Tian thought that after experiencing the previous pain, this might feel less painful, but he was wrong. It still felt just as painful as before.

Shi Tian spent the next three hours living a hellish life while refining his bones. But his entire bone structure became three to four times stronger than before. Not only that, he could feel that his strength had also become stronger.

After that, Shi Tian didn't cultivate any more. He walked out of the room and decided to take a walk around the house. His house was surrounded by a big garden. Shi Tian walked into the garden and curiously looked around. It was quiet and peaceful; he could not hear any sound except the noises made by the wind, trees, and birds.

At this moment, he felt like he had returned to his small village on Earth. His grandparents lived in a small village, and their house was surrounded by green fields. It felt peaceful there.

Shi Tian used to go there with his family for summer vacation, and he was fond of the peaceful environment of that small village.

Thinking of his family, his heart suddenly saddened. He didn't know when he would be able to return to Earth, and he didn't know whether they would still be alive by the time he returned.

'No, they will be fine. I must find a way to return to Earth or bring them to this world,' Shi Tian clenched his fists and swore in his heart.

A few minutes later, he controlled his surging emotions and started to look around.

His house was not located in a city as he had expected; instead, it was located on a small mountain about fifteen miles away from Red Cloud City.

After coming out of the mansion, Shi Tian could feel the fresh air. He looked to the side, where he could see a giant city surrounded by a twenty-meter-high wall. The design of the city was somewhat similar to the ancient cities he had seen in movies and TV series on Earth.

Shi Tian's gaze was attracted by the magnificent palace that stood tall like a skyscraper in the north of the city.

'This should be the Imperial Palace of the Red Cloud City,' Shi Tian thought to himself as he glanced at the palace.

"Young Master!" As Shi Tian was staring at Red Cloud City, a sweet voice came from behind him. He didn't need to look back; he recognized the owner of the voice—it was Xiu Ying.

Shi Tian looked at the peerless beauty who had arrived beside him and couldn't help but think about his girlfriend from his previous life. Although her beauty couldn't compare to Xiu Ying's, to him, she was undoubtedly the best girl.

"Young Master, how are you?" Shi Tian's wandering mind was brought back by Xiu Ying's call.

"Ah, I'm good. How about you?" Shi Tian replied.

"I'm good too!" Xiu Ying replied with a sweet smile. She felt that Shi Tian had become 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 asked curiously.

"Well, I just came out to get some fresh air," Shi Tian replied lightly. Then he glanced around 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 a grand city like this.

Although they had lived in a big clan before, they didn'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 for them to go to such places at their young age.

Red Cloud City was a city with millions of people, so it was undoubtedly very crowded and had many new things to see.

"Wait a few more days, and we will go together. I also want to see this city," Shi Tian said.

"Hm!" Xiu Ying nodded.
