Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 369 Cultivation Cheat Device

While Xu Shen was still racking his brains over the Condensed Evil Pearl, Tang Yue presented a second item as if it were a treasure.

It was a transparent, rhomboid object, about half the size of a fist, emitting a faint glow. Its material was unknown; it was half-real and half-illusory, extremely dreamlike.

"what is this?"

Tang Yue said proudly, "We all call it a cultivation cheat device. With this, within the high-level range, it's no problem to improve your magic cultivation by one realm within a month, and there are absolutely no side effects!"

"Holy crap, that's awesome?"

Xu Shen was truly shocked this time.

There are almost no shortcuts to increasing magical skill, except for daily hard work and occasional lucky encounters.

Even for a high-level mage with extraordinary talent, it would take at least one or two years of arduous training to advance to the next minor realm.

But this tiny crystal can actually compress this time into a month!

You should know that the age of twenty-something is the golden time for magical training.

As people reach their forties or fifties, their physical strength declines, and their energy and spirit also decline. In addition, the spiritual ailments caused by years of meditation become more severe, and the speed of cultivation will become slower and slower, or even regress.

The younger you are, the faster your cultivation improves, and the higher your chances of stepping into forbidden spells in the future!

Therefore, anything that can accelerate cultivation is a treasure among treasures, and it is always in short supply. Even the worst soul-cultivating demonic artifact costs more than ten million, and even then, you might not be able to buy it.

The value of a treasure that can raise a high-level mage's cultivation level by one realm within a month is self-evident.

Tang Yue is going to give me this treasure?
Although I'm not bad-looking, have a pleasant voice, and am decent in bed, I'm not that bad...

"Hey, hey, hey, don't misunderstand," Tang Yue said quickly when she saw that Xu Shen's expression was a little off. "It was given to you by that guy Zhu Meng as payment for your trip to the ancient capital."

Xu Shen questioned, "That's not right. A year and a half has passed since the incident in the ancient capital. If they wanted to give me something, they would have done so long ago. Why would they have waited until now?"

Having just shed her teenage girl identity, Tang Yue was becoming more and more like a child. She haughtily snorted and said, "Do you think this thing is something you can get just by wanting it? Its scientific name is Super Energy Crystal Diamond. It is extracted from the associated minerals that can only be produced in super-large elemental rich mines. It's not so easy to get. Zhu Meng went through a lot of trouble to get his hands on it."

Xu Shen smiled enigmatically: "I think you went through a lot of trouble to get it."

Because of Ding Yumin, Xu Shen had studied psychology extensively, and his micro-expressions betrayed Tang Yue.

He was certain it was a lie!

She's a high-level mage herself, and she just gave me this amazing stuff so fresh and clean?
What a silly girl.

Tang Yue became anxious: "If you don't believe me, go ask Zhu Meng."

Xu Shen laughed and said, "Why did I ask that old man? Sister Tang Yue, I have no qualms about living off a woman. If you want to give it to me, just give it to me directly. What are you using that old man Zhu Meng as a pretext for? Tell me, how is this thing supposed to be used?"

"what?"

Tang Yue was slightly taken aback.

The dating books she had read told her that teenagers of that age have a very strong sense of self-esteem and may even be resistant to expensive gifts from wealthy female girlfriends.

To ensure Xu Shen would accept the super-powered crystal diamond without feeling guilty, she specifically sought out Zhu Meng to coordinate her story before coming.

did not expect……

Indeed, if Xu Shen weren't shameless, how could he have managed to hook up with so many beauties in a row?

Even though she was a woman, she was somewhat envious of this guy's good fortune with women. If she weren't useless, she would have loved to take his place.

"Here you go, here you go!" Feeling that her feelings were being wasted, Tang Yue said irritably, "This thing doesn't have any special uses. Just eat it. It will digest itself during meditation. It will be completely digested in about a month."

"So simple?"

"It's that simple."

Xu Shen nodded: "That makes things simple."

As he spoke, taking advantage of Tang Yue's inattention, he grabbed her chin, forced open her mouth, picked up the crystal diamond, and shoved it inside.

This stuff has a texture similar to jelly, extremely bouncy, and not difficult to swallow.

Tang Yue rolled her eyes, stammered, and struggled desperately.

But her strength was no match for Xu Shen's.

If he hadn't been worried about her choking, Xu Shen might have been even rougher. Half a fist's size was still a bit too much for Tang Yue.

Even after swallowing, her eyes were still red from choking.

Yes, that's how it is since we haven't developed it before. We'll have to put it on the agenda when we have the chance.

"You, you, you! How could you do this?!" Tang Yue, having calmed down slightly, angrily punched Xu Shen: "I begged my uncle for so long before he..."

Xu Shen laughed and said, "What, you're not going to say it was given to you by Zhu Meng?"

"You! You don't appreciate kindness!"

"Sister Tang Yue, I've already told you, I love being a kept man. Giving me this diamond is such a waste, isn't it?"

Tang Yue frowned in anger: "Waste? How is it a waste?"

"Look, with your talent, reaching the next level shouldn't be difficult, right? Eat it, cultivate diligently, and you might even be able to cast a forbidden spell. When that happens, who dares to mess with me? I can just shout 'Sister Yue, save me!' Wouldn't that be better than me struggling to cultivate on my own?"

Tang Yue was stunned again.

She hadn't considered this version of sophistry.

That makes some sense.

Xu Shen continued to deceive him: "So you have to work hard. Use whatever cultivation resources you have. Don't always think about saving them for me. I'm just a freeloader, why would I need so many cultivation resources? You just be awesome, I'll take care of the freeloading."

Tang Yue nodded subconsciously, but then she caught a glimpse of the smile in Xu Shen's eyes and realized she had been completely fooled. Annoyed, she grabbed his ear and pinched his eyebrows, her eyebrows furrowing: "Trying to pull this on me, huh?"

"Ouch, stop twisting!"

Xu Shen was somewhat angry.

What's wrong with these women? Do they have some kind of special talent?
She either puts her hands on her hips or twists her ears; she's gone too far!

The time from morning to afternoon passes quickly.

Tang Yue, who had just passed the newbie protection period, finally experienced how terrifying Xu Shen was.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed in a starfish position, her hair was messy, her clothes were tattered rags, her eyes were empty, she didn't want to move, her muscles and bones felt soft and painful as if they had been crushed by a burly and savage beast, especially her two legs, which had been bent so that they felt numb as if they didn't belong to her.

This guy looks handsome, but he's actually a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Tang Yue's voice was weak and listless: "What are you putting on me?"

"The healing potion specially made at the Parthenon is highly praised by everyone who has used it."

"Did the Parthenon know that you were using their medicine like this?"

"At least Tingting and the others know."

"Animals!"

Xu Shen massaged the bruises on her body, then looked up and smiled brightly: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Tang Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Oh right, there's also a magic cloak. The Huo family of Shencheng asked me to bring it to you."

"Grandma Huo is really amazing, she finished it so quickly?"

"Alright, take the things and get out of here. I'm going to bed."

"This Empress?" Xu Shen raised an eyebrow. "What, you're already so arrogant before you've even pulled up your pants?"

Tang Yue felt a little guilty.

Although I hate to admit it.

However, it was truly exhilarating, and she now understood what "once you've tasted the marrow, you'll crave more" meant. If her body hadn't been so physically unable to resist, she would have loved to do it a few more times.

"So, what do you want?"

Seeing her miserable state, Xu Shen really couldn't do anything more.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, your brother is a magnanimous man, let me find you something to eat."
