Chu Li went to Tianshu Courtyard to greet Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi, but he was about to leave right after that.

Xiao Shi called out to Chu Li and said, “What have you been doing these past two days? I haven’t seen you at all!”

Chu Li replied, “My ladies, do you have any instructions in regards to Consort Ping’s incident?”

“Let’s go there to have some fun!” There was a glimmer in Xiao Shi’s eyes.

Chu Li glanced at Xiao Qi. “What about you, my lady?”

Xiao Qi quietly said, “It would be nice to go and have a look.”

Chu Li smiled. “Alright, we’ll go there tonight.”

Xiao Shi smiled and said, “I ate different kinds of fruits these past two days, but they seemed tasteless to me. It’s so troublesome because I’ve become such a picky eater. Remember, it will affect you for a few days from the first moment.”

Xiao Qi said, “Those fruits were very beneficial to us. My skills have greatly improved.”

“Are the effects really that wonderful?” Chu Li smiled and asked.

Chu Li had eaten those fruits before, but it did not affect him greatly. Soon after that, Chu Li realized that this was Xiao Qi’s first time eating those fruits. Moreover, Chu Li was much stronger than Xiao Qi in terms of physical strength. These fruits had amazing nourishment abilities, but those nutrients were insignificant for Chu Li because his body was already unimaginably strong.

Chu Li brought the two girls to Spirit Cranes Peak again during nightfall. The girls played there until it was midnight before Chu Li brought them back home. After that, Chu Li appeared in Gale City in a flash.

Chu Li had just returned when Kou Qiong appeared and approached him. “Young master, the house has been tidied up. You can move in anytime.”

Chu Li nodded. “Take me there.”

Kou Qiong brought Chu Li to the house without saying another word.

Although it was already past midnight, it did not seem like it was night time when they arrived in Gale City. Rather, it still seemed like it was daytime, seeing as the city was brightly illuminated. There were also a lot of passersby outside.

Chu Li and Kou Qiong passed through several alleys before they arrived at a plain courtyard. The surroundings were extremely quiet and there were only a few lanterns hanging in the alley.

The people who lived here were not wealthy, and these houses were certainly not worth one thousand taels of silver.

Kou Qiong led Chu Li into a small house that was obviously quite narrow. Kou Qiong sounded slightly embarrassed when he said, “Young master, what do you think of this courtyard? It’s somewhat small, but it’s advantageous because it’s quiet, and nobody will bother you.”

“Not bad.” Chu Li happily nodded.

Chu Li could already see the Roaring Tiger Clan in his mind. There was only one alley between them, meaning that it could not be further than several miles away. Chu Li discovered that the people in the Roaring Tiger Clan were relaxed and carefree. This was definitely a great place that was hard to find.

Kou Qiong smiled. “I’m glad that you’re satisfied, young master.”

“Alright, you can go if you’re busy. You don’t have to wait for me.” Chu Li said, “I’ll return for my meals, so you don’t have to send anyone here for me.”

“Yes.” Kou Qiong quickly responded before he made a fist salute and left.

Chu Li clasped his hands behind his back and circled the house. There were three entrances that led to the courtyard. The vestibule, inner courtyard, and backyard were not spacious, but they were perfectly clean, wafting from them a deep aura of life wafted.

During this process, Chu Li kept observing the Roaring Tiger Clan that was several miles away. Chu Li saw a handsome but unfeeling youth who was currently cultivating his skills in a courtyard. Under the moonlight, Chu Li noticed that the youth was cultivating the White Tiger Killing Skill. However, the youth was not as good as the other Elders in the White Tiger Sect, because he was lacking destructive force.

The youth was slightly inferior to the White Tiger Sect’s Elders in terms of his cultivation level. Nonetheless, it was extremely rare for him to achieve that cultivation level despite his young age. That youth could be regarded as a genius. Chu Li wondered how many levels of the White Tiger Power this youth had achieved.

Chu Li started to hasten the movements of his inner energy in the courtyard. Chu Li controlled his inner energy according to the White Tiger Killing Skill’s heart technique. A faint tiger silhouette suddenly appeared between his palms while his consciousness unexpectedly stirred. It seemed as though he was being pulled inside the tiger silhouette. When Chu Li channeled his inner energy and pushed it there, the tiger silhouette shot out before it moved according to Chu Li’s thoughts.

The tiger silhouette would rush forward according to Chu Li’s consciousness. It seemed as though the tiger silhouette was playing while pursuing Chu Li’s consciousness. Chu Li was rather shocked when he noticed that the tiger silhouette was somewhat mischievous.

Chu Li never expected that the White Tiger Killing Skill would be so mysterious. He never knew that the White Tiger Killing Skill could be controlled and manipulated by his consciousness as well.

Chu Li’s consciousness changed several times, but the tiger silhouette kept pursuing it. The tiger silhouette was about to vanish before it suddenly went out of control as though it was drunk. The tiger silhouette crashed into the side of the rock garden. There was a dull banging noise before two rocks fell from the rock garden.

The White Tiger Killing Skill still lacked destructive force, but it would be extremely effective when it was used against unusual opponents who were caught off guard. An individual only had hope of avoiding this attack if they knew the inside information regarding the White Tiger Sect. Otherwise, they would surely be hit by this attack if they were caught unprepared.

Chu Li practiced the White Tiger Killing Skill a few more times. Eventually, Chu Li happily nodded. When he noticed that the youth had already returned to his own house, Chu Li went to drink some tea. Chu Li calmed his force before he sat cross-legged on the bed and started cultivating his inner energy.

Chu Li immediately put the Omniscient Mirror in full force so that he could read the youth’s mind.

An enormous, majestic, and fierce tiger appeared in his mind. The tiger’s long fur fluttered and swayed in the air, much like a flag.

Everything was connected in one way or another. The tiger’s fur that covered its skin trembled like the surging waves on the surface of the sea, giving off an imposing force. It looked terrifying every time it rose and fell.

The fierce tiger started doing numerous movements in his mind. The inner energy in Chu Li’s body stirred according to those movements. It seemed as though Chu Li’s inner energy was working together with the tiger. When the fierce tiger pounced or flicked its tail, Chu Li’s inner energy was seemingly making those movements stronger.

Chu Li knew that the White Tiger Power was causing this to happen.

The White Tiger Power did not seem special on the surface, but that was not the case when Chu Li sat cross-legged and channeled it. Chu Li’s mind was being turned upside down. A dense force would occasionally surround Chu Li’s body. It seemed as though Chu Li had transformed into the fierce tiger that was doing these movements.

The scene faintly appeared in Chu Li’s mind again. Chu Li determinedly memorized everything and ensured that he remembered every movement.

The fierce tiger’s movements had seemingly slowed down. Chu Li slowly followed the movements for some time, but the youth became too mentally exhausted before Chu Li could finish practicing the tiger’s twenty movements. The youth slowly lay down before he instantly fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Li grudgingly shook his head. That youth was useless. He had only practiced the movements for a short while before he became unbearably exhausted.

Chu Li muttered to himself while he pondered for some time.

Several moments later, Chu Li suddenly got down before he went out into the courtyard.

Chu Li began to practice the motions according to the tiger’s movements in the youth’s mind. Chu Li used his body and positioned himself according to the tiger’s movements before he channeled his heart technique. Chu Li realized that the results were similar to his expectations. It was more effective to cultivate the skill this way than to do it while sitting down.

Chu Li smiled. He practiced it a few more times before an inner, more refined energy surged out.

The inner energy moved at an extremely terrifying speed. Could it be that Chu Li had produced it on his own? How could it be possible that nobody in the White Tiger Sect had managed to look into this matter when there were so many of them? That was highly unlikely!

Chu Li immediately understood the reason. Nobody else had managed to guess the reason, but it would have been useless even if they came to this conclusion. After all, nobody could multitask like Chu Li.

An individual would need to envision it in their mind while they physically mimicked the motions and simultaneously channeled their inner energy. This form of martial arts clearly required a different type of heart technique. This skill was complicated and unusual. The user was certainly required to multitask while ensuring that their thoughts were still refined.

Chu Li realized that he could progress rapidly when he cultivated the skill this way. However, he would eventually need to return and sit cross-legged during the end of this cultivation process.

Chu Li kept cultivating the White Tiger Power. Chu Li cultivated this skill until daybreak before he quickly went to sleep. The next morning, Chu Li hurriedly went to meet Xu Huande again so that they could continue on their urgent journey.

Chu Li was not anxious to learn the rest of the skill from that youth in the Roaring Tiger Clan. After all, that youth would probably always be there.

Chu Li and Xu Huande finished the rest of their journey smoothly. Five days later, Xu Huande’s wounds were fully healed when he arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum. Chu Li said goodbye to Xuande from a distance because Chu Li did not appear at the Imperial Mausoleum. Nonetheless, Chu Li would definitely get the chance to visit him in the future.

Xu Huande arrived without a hitch, but Chu Li’s self-cultivation did not go so smoothly.

Chu Li noticed that the young genius only had a basic understanding of the White Tiger Power. He realized that it would probably take several years for him to fully develop the White Tiger Power if he cultivated it at the same rate as the young genius!

Fortunately, Chu Li managed to find a solution to his problems.

When Chu Li returned to Gale City in the evening, he went to Kou Qiong’s house immediately.

Kou Qiong rushed over when Xiao Jie notified him about this matter soon after that.

“Young master, what are your instructions?” Kou Qiong said while making a fist salute.
