Cave Refuge-Chapter 224 - 223 Two Kinds of Life_1

Robinson William stepped into the black car, his eyes filled with shock and curiosity. But unlike many others who would have immediately reached out to touch, he just used his gaze to scan the internal landscape. It was as if he was trying to imprint the scene deeply into his mind.

Actually, Dong Tianyu had a clear understanding of what Robinson William was thinking at this moment. However, knowing this, he certainly wouldn’t let Robinson directly touch anything. After all, although the items in here seemed high-end, they were merely for show.

While it might fool Robinson just by its appearance, if he were allowed to touch them, he would quickly figure out the truth.

When Robinson noticed that Dong Tianyu didn’t say much after bringing him here, he understood that Dong didn’t want him to touch any of the equipment inside the vehicle.

Both of them were smart men, so certain things didn’t need to be spelled out explicitly.

Robinson was unaware that Dong Tianyu had visited Xintian the day before, so, aiming for a test drive, he said, "Once they finish with the saltpeter, do you want me to accompany you to Xintian? Don’t worry, I’m just interested in the car."

Dong Tianyu, of course, wouldn’t overthink things and understood what Robinson meant. However, regardless of whether he went to Xintian yesterday or not, he couldn’t take Robinson with him as he wouldn’t be able to utilize the Shadow Space with outsiders present.

"If you want to ride around in the car, I can take you for a spin around the area after they finish unloading. But there’s no need to go to Xintian; it’s not easy to bring this car out. The seats were reserved in advance," Dong Tianyu replied.

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s direct refusal, Robinson felt somewhat dejected and denied his proposal to take a ride around the vicinity.

Upon hearing from a Special Ops team member reporting that all the goods in the carriage had been unloaded, Robinson prepared to bid farewell to Dong Tianyu.

As soon as Robinson and his group entered the underground tunnel in the flower bed, Dong Tianyu drove off in the black car.

After his trip delivering saltpeter to the War Reserve Storage Shelter, despite the close proximity to upgrading his Cave mansion, Dong Tianyu wasn’t in a rush. Instead, he returned to his regular life of daily cultivation in the Cave mansion and relaxation aboard the Taolang.

As he became more familiar with Walker Violet and Jasmine Anderson, Dong Tianyu no longer restrained himself during workouts.

And as Dong Tianyu’s workouts became more intensive, the two women were increasingly exhausted at the end of each session.

Noticing this, Dong Tianyu understood the disparity between ordinary people and cultivators, and that this gap would only widen as his cultivation level improved.

To solve this problem was quite simple. The first solution was to increase the number of people working out together to share the burden, producing immediate results.

The second solution was to set both women on the path of cultivation. Although it might be a long process, it would improve the quality of their workouts and might even grant them some cultivation experience if they were lucky.

As for these two options, Dong Tianyu wanted both and intended to pursue them seriously.

For the women’s cultivation, Dong Tianyu decided not to pass down his Chaos Decision cultivation method. Instead, he used some Survival Points to select the Profound Yin Body Tempering Decision for the women.

Even though the Profound Yin Body Tempering Decision is a cultivation method, its name suggests that it is a body refining technique. During the cultivation of this technique, it subtly changes the body in accordance with the cultivator’s desires.

This change is a part of the body’s natural growth. Even though it appears to show the same results as cosmetic surgery, it is a natural progression.

Moreover, as the name implies, after cultivating this technique, the cultivator’s body improves tremendously even though their spirit power doesn’t increase much. This will immensely help in future workouts.

Another reason Dong Tianyu chose this technique was that after cultivating the Profound Yin Body Tempering Decision, the cultivator’s body exudes Profound Yin energy. Unlike other body cultivators who need to refine their bodies in various ways, they only need to meditate like other cultivators to cultivate.

Using Profound Yin energy to temper the body renders the skin softer, and the cultivator becomes more attractive. Although this does not make the body as strong as other body tempering techniques, it does have characteristics that other techniques lack.

Although the Profound Yin Body Tempering Decision is not as effective as other body refining techniques, it is a cultivating immortality method and is much more powerful than the internal energy cultivation techniques practiced by martial artists.

As both women were beginners, Dong Tianyu took them through the process step by step, teaching them as they acted as models for each other. There was nothing worth mentioning about the process of learning.

In contrast to Dong Tianyu’s leisurely life, Ye Liuyun became busy after learning from Robinson that Dong Tianyu was delivering saltpeter. As the outdoor temperature gradually increased, signaling the end of the hot weather, he seized this timing to trade all the saltpeter for other resources.

Ye Liuyun was very clear about what to trade for at this time. Despite the high outdoor temperatures, some people still controlled scarce supplies, such as canned goods and vacuum-packed food that were abundant before but he once scorned.

Although nobody in Pengcheng would starve, the impending food crisis caused by martial artists had not yet arrived. Only basic food supplies were controlled by the West City District Command Post and were distributed as needed daily.

But even so, the West City District Command Post only controlled the circulation of basic food supplies. It had no say over the treasured food supplies stored from before the catastrophe. They did not question it, as the quantity was limited, and the people who had them held high status.

Ye Liuyun’s goal was very clear — he was after these high-quality, unopened food items that could be stored for an extended period of time.

For safety reasons, Ye Liuyun asked Robinson to loan him a few martial artists for protection. With martial artists accompanying him, Ye Liuyun’s trading opportunities were not restricted to the West City District; he began searching for potential partners in other districts.

With saltpeter as his flagship product, Ye Liuyun’s inventory continually grew. Eventually, although the saltpeter supplied by Dong Tianyu was all sold out, Ye Liuyun’s business continued to flourish.
