This is true for a single meridian alone. Considering the number of meridians unblocked at each level, it’s clear that one must unblock at least two per level, with three being the ideal result.

Qi Tian is different from the others. Whenever he cultivates to a new level, he is able to unblock four meridians, with three at the perfect completion stage, and the remaining one at the very least, good. Now at Qi Cultivation 3rd Level, he is at least on par with those cultivators at Qi Cultivating Stage 4 who unblock three meridians per level. Realistically, those able to consistently unlock three meridians at each level are rare, even in the Lianying Realm where Qi Cultivation Period training prevails. As a result, Qi Tian’s power is essentially comparable to a cultivator at the Fifth Level Qi Cultivation.

Once Qi Tian activates the Heavenly Dao Engine, his power can double, equating him with some cultivators at the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation.

Previously, Qi Tian was limited by his body’s capacity and dared not unleash all his power. Now that his body cultivation has advanced to the second layer of the Tiger Golden Body Skills, his physical endurance has substantially increased. He can safely unleash the full power, which rivals that of the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation. This is one of his strongest cards when dealing with unexpected situations. Besides, he has many more jade talismans to use. With his meticulous caution and a little bit of luck, Qi Tian believes he is fully capable of clearing out the Tigers from a sub-peak.

As for the main peak, Qi Tian doesn’t even consider it. The Tiger King is at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level Peak. Qi Tian is no match for the Tiger King, let alone the Tiger Demon Queen and the Tiger Demon Elder, adding up to three individuals at the Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation. Engaging them would be tantamount to inviting the tigers to dine on him.

Qi Tian was all set and went into action. He took out the bodies of the water salamanders he had collected, then smeared a considerable amount of bewilderment pills on their bodies. After the tiger demons completed their patrol, he dumped the bodies of the water salamanders, laced with the bewilderment pills, onto the East Sub-Peak.

Water salamanders are a highly delicious food and are rich in Spirit Qi. Qi Tian stored their bodies in his Storage Bag after killing them, which kept them fresh.

Not long after Qi Tian left, the tiger demons arrived, drawn by the scent. The tiger demons here didn’t have a tradition of not eating corpses. The water salamanders, with their tender meat and Qi-rich bodies, could be said to be their favorite food.

Qi Tian used an ample amount of Bewilderment Pills on these water salamander corpses. The greedy tiger demons that ate the salamanders first could not resist the potency and fell onto the ground.

The Bewilderment Pills were not concocted by Shi Yufeng and the others, but were extracted from an ancient relic site, their formula unknown. They had been used sparingly since every bit used meant one bit less. This time, Qi Tian used up all the Bewilderment Pills, applying them onto more than twenty water salamanders and throwing them onto various points across the East Sub-Peak.

With more than twenty water salamanders laced with Bewilderment Pills as bait, many tiger demons should be lured and incapacitated. If lucky, all the tiger demons on the East Sub-Peak could be knocked out, though this seemed highly improbable.

However, Qi Tian didn’t dare to be overly hopeful. Though his power could match an average cultivator at Nine Levels of Qi Cultivation, it definitely didn’t cover situations where he was surrounded by Tiger Demons. Tiger Demons were quite intelligent, far surpassing the water salamanders. Some might suspect the laced salamanders and avoid eating them. This could result in multiple unaffected Tiger Demons on the East Sub-Peak. If he fell into their encirclement, his life would be in peril. Qi Tian wouldn’t risk his life recklessly. Of course, when a fight was inevitable, he would not shrink back.

Qi Tian observed from another peak. After nightfall, he applied a Concealing Breath Talisman on himself to hide his aura completely, then stealthily moved toward the East Sub-Peak.

Under the moonlight, Qi Tian found the first site where he had placed the water salamanders. There, he saw two Tiger Demons. They were at least twice the size of a regular tiger, with an air of Demon Qi around them. After consuming the drug, they lay on the ground, their chests heaving slightly.

Qi Tian approached and killed them both by striking their windpipes. He stored their bodies into his Storage Bag and started to scout for other Tiger Demons.

In this manner, Qi Tian found and assassinated eight Tiger Demons and stashed their bodies in his Storage Bag. As he was about to seek out the ninth Tiger Demon, he got an ominous feeling, as if he was being hunted by a formidable ancient beast.

This thing gave him an incredibly terrifying feeling. Qi Tian’s body was covered in cold sweat, without any hesitation, he turned and ran down the mountain. He continued running until he reached another mountain, but the feeling of being targeted by something had not disappeared. He kept running forward, hoping to escape this discomforting sensation.

It wasn’t until he crossed another mountain that the feeling of being watched by a beast disappeared. Qi Tian let out a sigh of relief, leaning against a rock and panting heavily. He then put away the Thunder Axe Talisman that had been clenched in his hand. He had kept the talisman poised for activation, ready to trigger it with a little bit of True Essence at any time. Now that he confirmed it was safe, he hurriedly stored the talisman away. This thing was so potent that if accidentally activated, he would have to throw it out immediately to avoid being killed by it.

However, just as Qi Tian had put away the Thunder Axe Talisman, a gust of wind brought a strong, gamey smell, which went directly into Qi Tian’s nose. He secretly cursed, the smell was all too familiar to him, it was something he was engulfed in when he was handling the Tiger Demon’s corpse.

A roar….

A tiger’s roar echoed through the valley, and a ferocious, colorful tiger pounced on Qi Tian. It was the creature that had been secretly stalking him the whole time. If it hadn’t detected the Thunder Axe Talisman in Qi Tian’s hand as a potential threat to its life, it would have struck sooner.

Qi Tian dodged swiftly, and the Tiger Demon’s claws slammed into the rock he was just leaning on. With a ‘boom’, the giant rock, taller than a person, was shattered into pieces by the force of the Tiger Demon’s swipe.

The Tiger Demon turned sharply on the spot and lunged at Qi Tian, who was barely a few steps away. Powerful, fast, and leaving no room for Qi Tian to react.

Qi Tian activated his Heavenly Dao Engine in an instant. As the Tiger Demon sprang, he leaned back, lying flat on the ground, and used his feet to kick the Tiger Demon’s belly as it leaped over his body. The force of his kick tossed the nearly thousand pounds heavy Tiger Demon away.

The Tiger Demon landed on the ground, thick-skinned as it was, it immediately got back up. Its bloodthirsty eyes glowed in the dark, fixating on Qi Tian with an unbeatable aggression.

Qi Tian stood spread-legged, slightly bent, right fist clenched, facing the Tiger Demon. This wasn’t the Tiger Demon Consort from the East Sub-Peak, but it was also a mature female, at the peak power of the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation, incredibly strong. Fighting her, Qi Tian couldn’t afford to slack off even a bit.

He knew the intelligence of these Tiger Demons was not something the water salamanders could compare to, but he hadn’t expected this older female tiger to be this clever. She had secretly followed him and chosen to attack only when he put away the Thunder Axe Talisman, she was cunning indeed. It was indeed strange why this older female tiger had not dealt with him on the East Sub-Peak. Nothing else mattered, as long as this older female tiger called for her comrades on the East Sub-Peak, Qi Tian would have no chance of escaping. But she did not, which puzzled him.

What Qi Tian didn’t know was that this was where the female Tiger Demon showed her “intelligence”. She was a smart and ambitious tiger, dreaming of becoming the new favorite of the Tiger Demon King, the next Tiger Demon Consort. However, the Tiger Demon Queen and Tiger Demon Consorts kept a tight watch on them, and she had to do something special to attract the Tiger Demon King’s attention. Qi Tian, a cultivator who had killed so many Tiger Demons using Bewilderment Pills, could become her ticket to the Tiger King’s favor. If she could kill Qi Tian alone, she believed she would definitely win the favor of the Tiger Demon King. Then, by gaining the Tiger Demon King’s favor when she is at his side, she would finally have a chance.

It was this female tiger’s clever plan that gave Qi Tian a one-on-one duel with her. Otherwise, he would have been surrounded and killed long ago by the Tiger Demons.

With a leap, the Tiger Demon lunged at Qi Tian once more. As Qi Tian tried to dodge, her tail swept over like a steel whip. Her tail was just as deadly as her claws. She had killed a mid-phase Qi Cultivation cultivator by splitting him in half with her tail in the past, so taking out Qi Tian was, in her opinion, just a trivial task.

Qi Tian’s eyes sparkled brilliantly as he quickly gripped the steel-like tail with his lightning-fast hands as it whipped towards him. The strength in the Tiger Demon’s tail was ferocious. Despite being at the second level of body cultivation, Qi Tian’s skin was ripped apart, and blood gushed out. However, he endured the intense pain and gripped the tiger’s tail firmly in his hand.

In the same instant, as he gripped the tiger’s tail, Qi Tian reached out with his other hand and grabbed hold of it as well. Then, shouting “Get up,” his waist served as the pivot as he used his arms to swing the Tiger Demon into the air.

The Tiger Demon let out a series of roars, and with a flick of his hand, Qi Tian threw the Tiger Demon out.

The Tiger Demon crashed into the mountainside, causing a large chunk of the mountain to collapse. Almost instantly, the Tiger Demon fell to the ground, but in the next instant it got back on its feet.
