"The royal family will select the new king? How is this even related to me?" I asked.
"You will know then. But let us get back to the important part. I need to get you in proper shape for later. That will take quite some work to do. Now then, why don\'t you come with me. Don\'t resist." Li Tian said, and I felt a suction force. This was very similar to the time when I was in the city lord\'s manor, except it was smoother. My new master was definitely much stronger than the city lord.
A few moments later, I reappeared in a dark room. Since I knew what to expect, I did not fall to the ground this time. I stood still, and looked around. There was not much going around here, except for a few arrays and inscriptions on the floor. I wondered what they signified, but my focus had to be kept elsewhere.
"What is that smell? It smells like medicinal herbs in here." I asked.
"I use this place for the storage of a few herbs here and there. You must be smelling that residue. But I am impressed. How did you notice that smell? It is so faint, only if you know what you are looking for, you would find it." Li Tian looked surprised.
I hesitated. This was my master now, but it had not been long since I knew him. Was he trustworthy enough to actually reveal any of my secrets at all?
"Don\'t worry about it. If you don\'t want to tell me, then I am too bored to care about it. Your life isn\'t as interesting as you think it is, for you to try and hold in so many secrets. The biggest thing that is going for you is your talent, and your background." Li Tian sighed.
I would have begged to differ, but I wanted to complete this conversation here. I nodded and continued to look around the room. There was a small mat in the middle, and an incense right in front. It was probably a place for meditation. What I didn\'t understand was why my master would bring me here. He wanted to change the attribute of my Qi. I did not know how he planned to achieve that.
"Sit on the mat, and we will get started. It will take some time, and I need you to have complete trust in me." Li Tian said.
"You are the strongest person that I have ever met. If you wanted to kill me, then I am sure that you already would have. You can do what you want. Just leave me alive at the end." I smiled bitterly.
"Watch your words. You are talking to you master here." Li Tian said playfully as he put his hands on my back. I was on my thighs, sitting in the Vajra pose, looking straight. I bit my lip, not knowing what to expect.
"Just release your Qi. I need you to give me all the Qi that you have. Just take it away." Li Tian said gently. I nodded, and started circulating my Qi. I poured it away, letting it leave my body through his hands.
Boy was it surprising! It was like his hands were a blackhole. Once they got a taste of my Qi, they started sucking away all the Qi that was in my body. I was frightened. The last time that this happened was when Liu Man went into my body. Wait a minute! Liu Man!
"Are you okay, Liu Man? All the Qi within my body is getting taken away. Will you be okay with this? Will there be any problem for you?" I asked within my mind hastily.
"Do not worry. I have been following every step that you have taken, and I know that you are in a very important part of your journey. This will not hurt me. Although I love feeding on your Qi, I have my own reserves. I will not be so stupid as to give away my Qi to him as well." Liu Man said.
"Thank god you are okay." I heaved a sigh of relief.
"Oh! Who is this interesting person?" All of a sudden, I heard Li Tian\'s voice in my mind. I shook, frightened by this sudden change.
"Don\'t move. You do not want to change this equilibrium. Your body might burst from the pressure. Anyways, who is this interesting person? His presence is different. I can see that he is a spirit that is not of the human race." Li Tian continued.
"This is..." I had no idea what to say. How would I explain how I came by Liu Man?
"I am Liu Man. I will be accompanying Liu Feng till the end of my life, as is clear by my bond with him. What is it you want with me? Just an introduction, I suppose?" Liu Man butted in.
"Just an introduction indeed. I take back every single thing that I have said before. Your life is very interesting, Liu Feng. To think that you have a mythical beast within you! You are lucky that you are my disciple. Or else, I would actually covet him for myself. Ah! I am just kidding. But this is a very serious discovery!" Li Tian said.
"I hope that we can have this discussion at another time. As all of us are aware, we are at a very delicate position. What you are doing is a risk for you, me and Liu Feng. Let us put all our focus on this, and then we can talk about me later." Liu Man said.
"For a young one, you sure talk like a wise ass." Li Tian chuckled heartily.
"How do you know that Liu Man is young? And more importantly, how are you speaking inside my own head? How are you able to sense Liu Man?" I was done with this. This was freaking me out too much.
