The Way of The Dao

"Young Master... this is for me? But Di Ji is your personal servant and doesn't deserve this kind of gift."

Di Ji looked at the beautiful blue pill inside the jade bottle in her hands. Her expression was confused and there were signs that she wanted to return this object to Ling Tian.

"What do you say, silly girl?" Ling Tian smiled tenderly and rubbed Di Ji's head, causing a blush to appear on her cheeks and a great shyness in her, "If you are my maidservant then you also need the best, you don't have to worry about what I give you, it will always be for your benefit."

Ling Tian smiled softly at Di Ji.

Di Ji smiled shyly gratefully, but she still looked very reluctant to accept this kind of thing. Di Ji recently became a cultivator, but she is very smart and knows that this kind of thing is very precious and of great value, so she dares not think of more.

"With this pill, you will be able to advance much faster in your future cultivation, Di Ji." Ling Tian nodded to Di Ji, but then with a serious expression said, "But this pill is very powerful, so you will feel a lot of pain and extreme coldness that will freeze from your cells to your bones, muscles and so on."

There was no improvement without pain, no reward without facing the worst. One had to move on and move on, endure and survive adversity in order to have a better future.

"I'm not forcing you to take it, Di Ji. It's your decision whether you do or not, but still, you will continue to be my maidservant." Ling Tian smiled softly and rubbed her delicate hair once more.

"I will, Young Master!" Di Ji shook her head and quickly made the decision.

After all Ling Tian had done for her, Di Ji would not hesitate to give up her life for him. This man she is serving, is a great man in her heart. Di Ji would do her best to be able to serve Ling Tian well as a great maidservant and never make him regret in taking her.

"With this pill, she will become a great and powerful cultivator!" Feng Ye commented excitedly.

"Although she has to endure a bit of pain..." Feng Junze added beside him. Both of them were with Ling Tian at this moment as well, "However, a heavenly pill like this is going through a rebirth again, but with an amazing cultivation ability."

This pill works best when one's cultivation is low, so it would be well suited for Di Ji.

"Looks like you will have competition girls, haha." Shin Wei laughed lightly at the sight of Di Ji, then looked at the two women beside him.

"I won't disappoint Master's expectations!"

Li Fengyuan assured herself while Xuanyuan Ling nodded slightly, all this time looking at Di Ji and thinking about the possibilities of the future.

"Let's get started."

Ling Tian nodded to Di Ji and instructed her to get ready.

"Sit cross-legged in the same manner as if you were going to cultivate."

"I am ready, Young Master." Di Ji nodded earnestly to Ling Tian. Her body was trembling slightly due to nerves.

Ling Tian noticed her and smiled conveying reassurance, "Di Ji, don't worry. With me here nothing will happen to you, I promise."

Di Ji smiled happily and gratefully.

"Very cold!"

Taking the Three Winters Pill out of the bottle, Di Ji felt her hands freeze quickly. Without hesitation, she swallowed the pill and felt from her mouth to her stomach through her throat freeze unprecedentedly.

* Boom! *

An extreme coldness almost similar to the time with Feng Zhiyun came out of Di Ji!

Di Ji's face tightened sharply, everyone could see the suffering she was experiencing at this moment. Her complexion turned pale and a cold energy was constantly coming out of her.

"You have to cultivate your cultivation essence as you always do!"

Ling Tian's voice reached the depths of Di Ji's consciousness, making her react and begin to cultivate, circulating her small, scarce cultivation essence in her meridians.

Slowly, the cold energy gradually flowed into Di Ji's body, becoming a similar pattern as it coursed throughout her body as in the meridians but on the outside. Her complexion slightly reduced in pain and a faint relief calmed her body.

"Her body managed to adapt."

Ling Tian looked at this and nodded with a smile. The first phase of the Three Winters Pill's effect was for her body to accept it, otherwise she would only die by freezing to death and die as an ice statue...

"Di Ji, an important part is coming, don't stop cultivating no matter what!"

Ling Tian's voice again reached Di Ji's cloudy consciousness and she clung to his voice, nodding in her heart as she made sure not to stop cultivating.

A layer of frost covered Di Ji's body before it filled completely full of ice on her skin. Her delicate and beautiful eyelashes had traces of ice on them as her tender lips froze, her cheeks turned pale and a little cold air came out of her nose. Her long hair was similarly frozen as was her body.

However, the powerful and horrible cold energy was still circulating through her whole body. At first it slowed down and nearly stopped, but it quickly returned to its former speed and continued to flow.

Di Ji was trapped in a huge layer of ice, and if it weren't for her heartbeat and the energy that kept circulating in her, anyone would think she was an ice sculpture...

An indeterminate amount of time later, the layer of ice soon began to crack and disappear from Di Ji's body; the faster the cultivation essence flowed along with the cold energy from the Three Winters Pill, the faster the ice disappeared.

"Very good, Di Ji!"

Ling Tian nodded again with satisfaction. The second phase of the pill was successful!

"Now comes the third and final phase, Di Ji! You will feel extremely wrenching pain, you will feel your bones freeze and your muscles tear, your Dantian will be filled with a cold energy and your meridians will ache from the cold that will flow into them. The latter will decide how far you will go!"

* Boom! *

A much more horrible terrifying cold energy erupted in Di Ji, while at the same time lightning flashed across the skies! As if a heavenly tribulation was coming!

But Ling Tian only waved his hand and the heavenly tribulation quickly disappeared.

Di Ji's "rebirth" by ingesting the Three Winters Pill caused a heavenly tribulation, proving that Di Ji's future would be immense and extraordinary!

The energy that was circulating outside Di Ji's body all this time finally entered inside her, passing through the meridians and filling the Dantian. A horrible pain strained Di Ji's face, feeling her meridians twisting and looking as if they would be torn apart along with her Dantian at any moment.

Her cultivation essence stagnated, slowing down almost completely as it was completely covered by the cold energy, turning into a unique snowfall akin to the dead of winter where only coldness and nothing else exists.

"This will be a rebirth for her." Ling Tian never stopped watching Di Ji all this time. Whatever happened, he would intervene and not let anything happen to her.

Di Ji's marrow would be washed and perfected, as well as her cells, bones, muscles, organs, viscera and so on. A new body would be born and its aptitude and capacity would soar to the heavens.

After a long time, Di Ji's frozen cultivation essence gradually flowed back over her body, coursing through each meridian completely and filling her Dantian. But if one took a closer look, one could tell that Di Ji's cultivation essence was very different; this one was made of an extremely cold energy that could freeze even space itself!

"Success..."

Ling Tian smiled very satisfied as he noticed this. Di Ji's aura naturally changed and a powerful coercion could be felt coming out of her.

Di Ji exhaled and a layer of dark air came out of her mouth; the last hidden impurities in her body were removed after this whole process.

Her eyelashes trembled and slowly a pair of beautiful blue eyes could be appreciated. Her aura changed and felt like that of an ethereal and pure fairy, as if she could only be appreciated from afar but never be tainted.

Di Ji opened her eyes slowly and the first figure that filled her eyes was Ling Tian. An indifference like the cold winter air could be felt, as if she cared for nothing in the world and only the icy winter would rule her heart.

But the next moment, the cold and indifferent eyes were filled with light and a happiness and joy showed in them!

"Young Master!"
