Chapter 41: The Bronze Body
Shi Tu spent some time stabilizing his cultivation base or he would experience backlash
With this Shi Tu had graduated from being mortal and became a cultivator, had obtained an extension of the life essence and became able to live more than 200 years without any problems unless he burned more of his life essence.
Previously, Shi Tu broke through the first level of the gathering realm, which is enough to overlook the rest of humanity, but this may not be enough to convince Alice's father, and the other party may attack at any moment and he cannot bear the cost of burning the life essence every time in order to survive.
If there are many people who own these pills, the first level of the gathering realm is not enough
Fortunately, there are still six body-strengthening pills
Although Shi Tu has absorbed all the energy from it, it still maintains the medicinal effect even though it has decreased to less than 10%, but this is enough.
Although they are incomplete first-grade pills, they are not something that the first level of the gathering realm can handle without damage and in the case of Shi Tu he has nothing to treat himself if he damaged by the pills.
Because of the lack of energy, it is impossible to restore the energy that is consumed in less than a few decades, and most likely Shi Tu's body will be empty again, and the difference between him and mortal is that he has a little stronger body.
In addition to that, the foundation of Shi Tu is very shallow, and if he take one pill with full effect, he will suffer great damage that may cause his death, not to mention six pills.
Shi Tu swallowed the first pill and immediately felt a fire burning in his body
Every muscle in Shi Tu's body began to cry out in pain but Shi Tu's facial expression did not change
Shi Tu's body started to sweat badly and Shi Tu's skin turned red but nothing else happened
Like before, Shi Tu's body did not secrete any impurities, which surprised Shi Tu, but this was not the time to think because he had to control the medicinal effect of the pill or his body would be harmed.
This pill is likely to give a temporary body boost to Bronze body cultivation base, but for Shi Tu, it gives permanent boost because he has a special way to absorb the pills.
Previously, Shi Tu was incapacitated due to insufficient energy availability, but now, even though the amount is small, it is sufficient for Shi Tu to do many things.
After half an hour, the medicinal effect of the pill disappeared and he could notice the differences in his body
It is clear that one pill is not enough to achieve the Bronze Body, but it definitely boosted his physical strength
Without hesitation, Shi Tu swallowed the second pill
This time the effect was no greater than last time, there was hardly a trace of redness on Shi Tu's body and he also didn't feel much pain.
After a quarter of an hour, Shi Tu's body color slowly started to change towards green
Unfortunately, Shi Tu could not reach the bronze body and swallowed the third pill, which hardly had any effect, and the fourth pill was not affected at all.
Shi Tu sighed because he could not reach the bronze body but he didn't complain too much because he had made good progress.
Shi Tu looked at the remaining two pills and decided to give them to the Shadow Guards, this would be more beneficial than for him to consume.
"Argh!!"
Suddenly, Shi Tu felt a sudden increase in his body temperature, and before realizing what was happening, his body was covered in black flames
These black flames gave him the same feeling that the flames he had previously seen in his dream if they were not the same
Shi Tu felt excruciating pain and wanted to burn his life essence to resist but he lost consciousness before he had a chance to do so
..........................
Shi residence
A few days after Shi Tu left, the atmosphere was very normal and Alice and Sun Jie continued to work normally
The idea that Shi Tu had gone through a life or death battle never crossed there minds
For Alice, who knows Shi Tu's abilities, she was completely certain that Shi To was fine, especially since the Shadow Guards accompanied him and was not worried about mistakes like last time, and Shi Tu used to hide for some time without any information for a few weeks.
On Sun Jie's side, although she was the princess of the Sun Family, she had never been involved in such matters before, nor did she even understand who Shi Tu is all she was thinking about was how to finish the task that Shi Tu had given her.
But take down two of the three families is not so simple
Firstly, Sun Jie absolutely does not know the true depth of the Shi family so it is impossible for her to come up with a good plan
More than that, no one in Shi's group trusts her at all, even after she becomes the new CEO instead of Alice, who becomes her assistant
Every time she gives an order, the others looks to Alice to give her approval
No one understood why Shi Tu made such a strange decision that Lin Chen Shui had died a few days ago but Shi Tu turned his back on the Su Family and brought the daughter of the Sun Family to take over the Shi group? He even disappeared and did not appear at the Lin Family funeral as if he was not interested. The Sun and Shi families did not explain anything and many speculations spread, but the most important thing is that this aroused the entire Su family's dissatisfaction because Shi Tu did not give them any explanation and immediately disappeared.
After returning to Shi's residence, Sun Jie and Alice were banning dinner because this place was empty and there were no servants, so they had to do things like clean and cook by themselves.
During this time Alice made her effort to try to befriend with Sun Jie in various ways, but Sun Jie was interacting with her coldly because she was only interested in taking revenge on Yu Ying, the Rothschilds, and even Shi Tu.
Sun Jie couldn't bring herself to behave kindly with Alice because she always remembered that it was Shi Tu that had ordered Yu Ying to kill her mother.
Sun Jie had a high sense and a great ability to understand the thinking of others, so although her father and brother treated her kindly and there was no loophole, she knew that it was impossible for the Sun family to not engage in criminal matters such as plots and crimes, but her father and brother never spoke about these matters in front of her. Sun Jie was not naive to think that they did not want her to see the dirty side of the world, but rather this was evidence that they did not trust her and that they did not want to reveal the family secrets in front of her.
Their decision may be logical if thinks that Sun Jie is a woman and might leave the Sun family one day, so it is not wise to let her know many secrets, but her sense told her that they would not hesitate to give her up for the sake of the family's interests even though their family love for her was real so it was her mother The one who is also a woman is the only one who has been telling Sun Jie everything, so she has a great place in Sun Jie's heart
In the end, this led to Sun Jie's complex and that the men would never tell the truth to her no matter what happened and that in the end she lived as a bargaining chip for the family and this is what she lived for so far for 16 years until her mother was assassinated 4 years ago.
Finding her mother's killer became her obsession and her goal in life, but she now realized that she could not take revenge with her own strength in this life her enemy was the Rothschild family, the richest family in the world and the other is a mysterious force, which she knows nothing about
"What's on your mind, Jiejie? You have been looking lost for days. If there is anything on your mind, tell me I might be able to help you"
Alice was sitting across from the table
This time Alice tried to get close to Sun Jie even she started calling her Jiejie without her permission, but all her efforts were unsuccessful, and it is clear that revenge is an obsession for her, and if she does not get rid of this obsession, it will be of any use
"Nothing. I only think about work because I have not found a solution to the lack of funding and due to Su's pressure, even if the banks refuse to lend us and demand ..."
"Jiejie We are at the dining table This is not the time to talk about work."
Such a conversation happened a lot because Sun Jie immediately used work to avoid talking to Alice
Sun Jie did not believe that Alice is serious about wanting to make friends with her, she is the same woman who broke her arm and threatened her previously.
Unfortunately, Sun Jie didn't know that Alice's behavior had saved her from a trip which she might not be returning to Africa or that she might have at least talked to her.
