A deep sleep from which he woke up in the early morning of that day and, as he was regaining his senses, he quickly remembered that he had fallen asleep on someone's lap, so he immediately opened his eyes and planned to apologize, but the face he saw, was different from the one he expected to see.
It was not that girl, Jun Xilei.
Rather it was the beautiful face of Huang Feifei, who greeted him with a beautiful smile that became more beautiful when she noticed that he had opened his eyes.
--"Young Master, are you all right?" she asked as she stroked his head a little and looked directly into his eyes.
She couldn't get tired of looking into these beautiful blue eyes that enchanted her that time by the bamboo grove. Although she didn't notice it, she had fallen deeply in love with these beautiful blue eyes.
And he looked at her somewhat confused.
--"This... Yes, I'm fine, did you finish cultivating, Miss Huang?" Tang Yin asked as he tried to get up, but before doing so he fell backward.
--"Ah... I'm sorry, Miss Huang, I'm very exhausted, could you move me? I don't want to inconvenience you." Tang Yin said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, and Huang Feifei nodded to him but did not move him.
--"It's all right, Young Master. I'm not uncomfortable or tired, you can rest on my lap as long as you like." She replied with a smile.
For her, this was a good intimate, and unique moment that, despite having more than one month traveling with Tang Yin, she had not yet been able to have despite wanting to.
Tang Yin looked at her somewhat confused, but looking into her eyes, he was a little surprised.
'This girl... Could that be it?' He wondered, and just then, something in his mind spoke.
[Haha, boy, even if you have a scar on your face, it looks like you are still really attractive to these innocent little girls. This girl asked the other one to have you like this, and since then several hours have already passed. During all this time, she has not stopped staring at you, it seems that she is closer to the harem than disciple] Said the administrator in his mind, and Tang Yin, who had already noticed something like that, could only smile wryly.
He still remembers what Huang Feifei said to him recently when she saw the unhealed wounds on his face.
'...Well, if she enters my harem I won't complain. The more beauties, the better.'' Tang Yin thought with a smile and then smiled at her.
--"Thank you very much." He replied and then relaxed.
--"Did you manage to synthesize correctly?" He asked, and she nodded.
--"I formed the column without any problems, Young Master, but there is something strange." She said, and at the end, she frowned a little, but she could not hide her happiness at this moment.
She was happy because too many good things had happened to her on this day.
Tang Yin looked at her somewhat surprised.
--"Anything strange? Nothing went wrong, did it?" he asked carefully.
'Shit, could it be that I hurt her a little when I gave her acupuncture with the killer needles?' He thought doubtfully, but the next thing he saw was that she had summoned that little illusionary image of her newly obtained Spiritual Bone, and he looked at it in surprise.
It was glowing Yellow this surprise was so much that Tang Yin jumped up from his place and sat to the side to look properly.
He grabbed Huang Feifei's hand firmly and did not allow him to move it to take a good look at this.
There was nothing strange about the spine, it had formed correctly.
This was good.
But...
The strange thing was the color.
After watching for a moment, Tang Yin looked at Huang Feifei in astonishment.
--"Haha, you really have a Heavenly Body?" he said sounding extremely happy, something that made Huang Feifei even more doubtful.
In fact, she had expected him to be surprised because her Spiritual Bone had started at Yellow Aptitude. This is a very high degree of aptitude.
They usually start at the White Color, no matter which Spiritual Bone it was.
She had never heard of any newly obtained Spiritual Bone starting in the Brown or Orange Grade, let alone Yellow, which was the Fourth Grade in Aptitude!
But she started there.
That was strange but beautiful.
That's why she was very happy at this moment, and expected Tang Yin to be surprised, but she didn't expect him to say 'Heavenly Body'.
--"Huh? Heavenly Body? What is that?" she asked doubtfully, and Tang Yin then noticed his mistake and smiled happily.
--"There is no mistake. People with some Heavenly Body are special. They are naturally talented people, but they have a slow and complicated start. These people, when obtaining a Spiritual Bone, it will always start at Yellow Grade Aptitude, as they are people blessed by the heavens. Haha, congratulations, Miss Huang. A Heavenly Body is not seen every day." He replied with a smile, surprising Huang Feifei, who looked at her Spiritual Bone again.
She thought was something very special, but she never expected it to be so much!
Spiritual Bone Aptitude is something you can level up, but generally, they all start with a Spiritual White Grade Aptitude, which is the lowest of the aptitude, and you can gradually increase the grade.
But this is a bit of a tedious process, although there are several ways to increase the grade. Basically, you must cultivate in a special way or slay beasts and synthesize them into your Spiritual Bone.
Advancing in Aptitude grade is too long a process because you must do it with each of the Spiritual Bone Sets you get. If you have 3 Main Spiritual Bones, then you must raise each bone, one by one, up to the next Grade of Aptitude.
That is, if you have 3 Spiritual Bones and you get one of them from the White Grade (The First Grade) to the Brown Grade (The Second Grade), that Spiritual Bone will be the only one there, and although it gives you benefits, they are not what they should be.
This is so no matter how many Spiritual Bones you have. But the Aptitude Grades are only in the Main Spiritual Bones, the Collection ones go up together with the Main ones.
That is why many call cultivation a long journey full of battles against spiritual beasts.
The fact that Huang Feifei has a Heavenly Body, which allows her to skip the first 3 Grades and start at the Fourth Grade of Fitness for all her Spiritual Bones, is a blessing.
She won't have to go through so much tedious work, that's why she was so amazed.
But it is even more amazing than she thinks it is because the Spiritual Bones grant additional benefits when you get 3, 6, 9, etc.
When you get 3 Spiritual Bones, they unlock an improvement in the cultivator's overall strength and a few more improvements, which will depend a lot on the type of spiritual beast your spirit bones come from, how strong you are, and a few more things.
For example, the spiritual entrances, the more you have, the more gain you will receive from the spirit bones by getting the set of 3, 6, 9, etc.
But this will also depend on something very important: What grade of aptitude your spiritual bones have.
The fact that they start from Yellow Grade for Huang Feifei... It means that she will get practically the most benefits from obtaining the sets of spiritual bones.
This is unknown to Huang Feifei, despite that, she was still immensely surprised with her knowledge currently.
--"Do I really have a heavenly body?" she said unintentionally, not planning to say it. She just couldn't help herself.
Tang Yin nodded at her with a smile, but as he was about to answer, he heard another voice that did.
--"Is it really a heavenly body?" this voice said, and Tang Yin turned to look at it.
He was also surprised to see her.
--"Miss Zu, you seem to have made a very good breakthrough this time. You have reached the Second Level of the Spiritual Master Realm." Tang Yin said. Congratulating the newcomer. And she smiled as she nodded and bowed to Tang Yin.
--"Thank you very much, Young Master. Thanks to you, I now believe I can reach the Fourth Realm in no time." She said with a smile, and Tang Yin nodded at her.
--"It's your own destiny, Miss Zu." Tang Yin replied modestly.
--"Perhaps so, but this destiny seems to be intertwined with you, so thank you very much, Young Master." She said again, and Tang Yin simply nodded toward her.
After that, she looked at Huang Feifei and the Spiritual Bone that had just ascended.
--"It really is the Heavenly Body..." She said in astonishment, and Tang Yin looked at her in surprise.
--"Do you know the Heavenly Body, Miss Zu?" he asked doubtfully, and Zu Xiaolin nodded and sat down beside them both.
--"Yes, my older sister also has the Heavenly Body. That's why I said she's incredibly talented, I didn't expect to find a second person who has it. I was once told that it was impossible for me to see it again..." She replied with a smile, and Tang Yin was surprised by this.
'Another Heavenly Body?' He thought with astonishment and a smile.
--"Haha, it would be nice to be able to meet your big sister in the future, Miss Zu. Heavenly Bodies are rarely seen." Tang Yin said and then looked at Huang Feifei.
--"From now on, I must teach you several things you need to keep your Heavenly Body not be seen. It is not good at this time, and although that will prevent you from being able to get the most out of it, is the best thing for you." Tang Yin said, and Huang Feifei, after putting away her spiritual bone, nodded as well.
--"It's all right, Young Master. I will do as you say." She replied after nodding.
Tang Yin then looked happy.
'A Heavenly Body, huh... It's complicated to find these things, who knew that the first person I meet in this world, would be a person with a Heavenly Body?' Tang Yin wondered.
Heavenly Body, exactly isn't one type of body called that.
There are many types of Heavenly Bodies, thousands of them. But they are rarely seen in the world. Any person who is born with a Heavenly Body will be a genius of his time. A person who will achieve great things.
Moreover, these bodies can be upgraded and improved into to Divine Bodies, although it is extremely complicated to make them.
But they are so rare that even Tang Yin did not have a Heavenly Body when he was in his world.
Although, that was not a problem.
Heavenly and Divine Bodies exist in thousands, while Divine Soul exists only one.
The Divine Soul of Tang Yin is the most special and unique thing in the universe, it has nothing to envy to special bodies. In fact, it is normal that its bearer does not have a Heavenly Body. For if it did, it could basically break the balance.
But the fact that there was a Heavenly Body so close to him had surprised him.
Although, it also made him feel a little bad.
'My cultivation has really fallen, huh... I can't even see a Heavenly Body that has traveled with me for more than 1 month...' Tang Yin thought with a wry smile after thinking like this, and to prevent the girls from noticing, he looked at Huang Feifei's cultivation and nodded.
'A Heavenly Body is complicated to cultivate, so despite the fact that was supposed to break through to the Third Level or the Fourth, she barely made it to the Second.' Tang Yin thought and smiled at her.
--"Miss Huang, it seems that your cultivation has also benefited." He said at that time, and Huang Feifei smiled tenderly at him.
That smile looked beautiful, and it was a smile of gratitude.
--"I didn't expect to pass through to the Second Level so soon, thank you very much, Young Master." She said sincerely. Tang Yin simply nodded at her.
--"It's all right, Miss Huang. You don't need to thank me. Start cultivating again, tomorrow we must leave." He said, and she quickly nodded to him and began to cultivate.
Now that she could cultivate, she didn't want to waste time. She wanted to cultivate hard.
After that, Tang Yin looked at Zu Xiaolin who was standing to the side, watching his interactions.
--"Miss Zu, will you leave as soon as the sun rises?" he asked, and Zu Xiaolin nodded.
--"We are short of time these days, because we have to deliver some academy missions on time, aren't you coming with us, Young Master?" She replied, and Tang Yin shook his head.
--"Not for now, we'll see each other when we get to the Empire." He replied, and she then nodded toward him.
But, knowing that in a few hours, she would no longer see him, she reached into her storage bag and pulled out a token, and handed it to him.
--"Use this token to visit me, Young Master. When you arrive in the empire, you can stop by the Imperial Castle and show that token to the guards, they will surely take you to where I am. Then I can thank you for what you have done for me." She said with a tender smile as she passed him the token.
Tang Yin simply grabbed it and nodded to her, then told her that she should go cultivate to take advantage of the moment, and she went off to cultivate, leaving him alone.
Tang Yin then stared at the system window with the rewards.
There were two windows, one telling him that he had completed the Mission of helping Huang Feifei get her First Spiritual Bone and the second saying that he managed to open '106' Spiritual Entrances of the girls present, so it was his turn to receive his rewards.
He smiled and accepted all the rewards.
He didn't use any of them because he couldn't use most of them and because he wanted to collect a lot of roulette tokens to use all at once.
Using one by one was very boring. He would simply get big disappointments, was sure of that, so he wouldn't use them.
He simply read each of the Cultivation Techniques, and after getting bored, he tossed them into his inventory and started looking at the early morning night sky.
The Cultivation Techniques he was given, surprisingly to him, are very, very good, even so, they were not as good as the ones he had.
Despite that, he came up with a way to use them.
'I have to visit an auction and sell them. Besides, those Pills, although they are of no use to me because I have the Divine Soul and no bottlenecks, it serves Miss Huang and any cultivator. I should be able to sell them at a very good price.' He thought, and after thinking like that, he immediately arranged in his mind to find a way to sell those things, surely, he could earn well. Though he didn't know how well.
Once he thought like that, he relaxed deeply and got some rest, though he didn't let his guard down all night, as sleeping in a spiritual forest is dangerous...
The next morning, Jun Xilei and her group said goodbye to Tang Yin and Huang Feifei, but not before leaving a Token for Huang Feifei so that she could enter the academy smoothly and a few other things.
They were immensely grateful to Tang Yin. Jun Xilei even felt that she could break through to the third level in no time. Xiao Nuo passed to the fourth level of her realm, which pleasantly surprised her, and she felt that she could reach the fourth realm in no time.
After saying goodbye and thanking Tang Yin many times, they left.
While Tang Yin and Huang Feifei began another long journey to the empire while taking some detours...

Hi, how are things? I have set a few goals to achieve to drop bonus chapters during the week. Although I think it will be difficult to achieve those goals, but there they are (in the synopsis).
