Chapter 257: 134 Takes Strengthening Pill to enhance strength_2

"Tsk tsk, he’s that strong! The Xiang Nan of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall should be almost on par with our Second Senior Sister Xia Shi, right? If Bai Xiao could defeat Xiang Nan in a sparring match, doesn’t that mean his strength surpasses Xia Shi’s..."

"Impressive! Stepping on Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall’s face in front of a crowd, the other Steel Bell Sect, Rock Tiger Sect, and even the members of the Martial Arts Association have witnessed the elegance of our Fierce Bird Sect. Hey, if only I was the one standing on the stage..."

"You?"

"If you go up, you’ll just end up getting knocked down with one move and embarrass yourself!"

All kinds of discussions continued, with all topics revolving around Bai Xiao.

Clearly, his performance at the Martial Arts Association had made a splash today, and his fame had quickly spread throughout the Huaisui City Martial Arts Circle. The disciples at the Fierce Bird Sect Headquarters were also informed. The looks they gave him now had an indescribable worship to them. Cohesion and a sense of collective honor in a school are essential.

As a member of the Fierce Bird Sect, Bai Xiao had fiercely slapped the face of their arch-rival, the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall. Naturally, the many Fierce Bird Sect disciples respected him upon knowing this.

At this moment, his status and identity were thoroughly recognized.

And soon, he was second only to the Big Brother.

Victory in an external battle has always been the best way to raise one’s status and prestige.

Bai Xiao stood up, wiped his mouth, and carried his tray to the designated place.

Then he headed out of the cafeteria.

At the entrance, a few core disciples of the Fierce Bird Sect came in.

Seeing Bai Xiao, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly greeted him.

"Senior Brother Bai!"

"Brother, you’re amazing!"

"You defeated three core members of the Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall. The next time there’s a Martial Arts Exchange Conference, let’s see if those disciples from Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall dare to show their sour faces again. Oh, have you eaten, brother? Let me treat you..."

The three disciples approached with great enthusiasm.

Bai Xiao stopped in his tracks and replied.

"I’ve just eaten, actually planning to go back to the dojo for treatment."

"Oh, then you better go, brother. We’re going to eat, too."

The three disciples quickly said.

Bai Xiao nodded, quickened his pace, and walked towards the dojo.

At this moment, he genuinely felt that he had become one of the core disciples of the Fierce Bird Sect, a pillar of this school.

The disciples will worship you, respect you, take you as an example.

The elders will have high hopes for you, nurture you, and look forward to your growth.

Somehow, Bai Xiao felt a sense of belonging.

Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the dojo.

Before his eyes, his four-dimensional attributes had changed.

[Power:43.9→45.9]

[Speed:36.2→37.6]

[Physique:50.3→52.3]

[Will:27.8→28.9]

...

In the dojo, within an ancient-looking hall.

Bai Xiao removed the bandages himself, looking at his chest.

There, a large scab had formed, and there was a tingling sensation around the wound. It was because the flesh was regrowing and healing rapidly.

"It won’t be tonight, probably this afternoon when it’ll be healed."

He stroked the wound gently, not daring to apply too much force.

Afterwards, Bai Xiao walked step by step into the practice area.

He began today’s training.

With the talent of a Pure Heart enhanced three times activated, a cool sensation of calm enveloped him, quickly immersing him in a training state.

Hours passed, with sweat pouring.

When Bai Xiao came back to his senses,

The sun had already moved a great distance to the west.

He took a deep breath and looked over his personal panel.

All the skills of the Martial Artist profession had improved.

Especially the Martial Artist profession itself, was less than a hundred experience points from breaking through to level four. That meant Bai Xiao would receive a full twenty-four potential points and a fourth enhancement of the Pure Heart talent!

He was looking forward to it...

Besides, the Fierce Bird Secret Technique, Copper Statue Technique, and Lion Heart Fist also accumulated. Without any points added, just by Bai Xiao’s practice alone, they all reached over a hundred experience points. Together, they saved six potential points.

So, daily practice of the techniques cannot be neglected.

Of course, in addition to practicing these techniques,

Bai Xiao also tried his best to touch upon the Breaker Third Stage.

His advantage was that he visualized all twelve moves of the Fierce Bird Atlas, and the Extreme Coordination Method of the Breaker Third Stage seemed innate to him.

He didn’t need to train step by step like ordinary cultivators.

So, Bai Xiao could directly try to break through the third stage.

His challenge was finding the right balance frequency for himself.

Creating a pivot point between the God Descent and Swallowing Demon states.

Once successful, Bai Xiao would reach the third stage.

He withdrew his thoughts, and his phone in the bag beside him suddenly rang.

He walked over and checked it, it was a message from Chen Liao.

Chen Liao: Hurry to the Martial Arts Building.

Bai Xiao: What’s up?

Chen Liao: Want your Elixir reward?

Bai Xiao: I’m on my way.

Three minutes later, Martial Arts Building, third floor.

This place was situated above the second floor conference room.

It was the office area of the Fierce Bird Sect Master, Yan Qi.

Bai Xiao stood quietly, extending his hand to knock on the mahogany door.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door opened.

Bai Xiao stepped inside.

The room inside was very simple and clean.

A bookshelf, a sofa, a desk, that was all.

There wasn’t even a carpet or a flowerpot.

Sect Leader Yan Qi seemed like a very traditional person.

Indeed, he must be at least in his sixties or seventies by now.

In the room, one side of the window was open, a gentle breeze blowing in, white curtains swaying. Behind the black desk sat a person. On the solid-colored sofa, another person sat. They were Sect Master Yan Qi and Master Chen Liao, respectively.

"You’re here? Choose for yourself."

Sect Leader Yan Qi lifted his head and glanced at Bai Xiao.

He was dressed in a gray martial arts uniform; his muscular shoulders bulged the loose fabric, presenting an imposing inverted triangle physique. His gray-white hair draped over his shoulders, paired with a firm face, conveyed an indescribable power.

Bai Xiao walked over.

He saw that on the black desk, there were three wooden boxes.

Each the size of a palm, coated with red lacquer.

Upon opening them, a faint, fragrant medicinal scent wafted out.

From left to right, there were ointment, elixir, and powder.

The ointment was the size of a table tennis ball, transparent with a tinge of pink and flecks of fibrous substances within. The elixir was golden-yellow, the size of a thumbnail, with a metallic sheen. The powder was blood-colored, emanating a hint of bloodiness.

"Rui Nao Paste, Strengthening Pill, Blood Continuation Powder."

Yan Qi introduced them one by one, briefly mentioning their effects.

Rui Nao Paste significantly enhances wisdom in a short time, useful for breaking through bottlenecks, with a slight lingering effect for half a month.

Strengthening Pill, straightforward and crude, directly enhances one’s physique.

Blood Continuation Powder, to be carried on one’s person, can be used multiple times. It is a miraculous medicine for restoring condition in battle, able to temporarily suppress even serious injuries.

"Bai Xiao, choose one."

Yan Qi stood behind the desk, looking at Bai Xiao with a smile.

From his smile, Bai Xiao vividly spotted a trace of cunning.

A Sect Leader is indeed a Sect Leader with such motivating methods...

To be honest, he wanted all three; they were all desirable treasures.

But Bai Xiao could only pick one, the other two a tantalizing thought nestled in his mind. This was Yan Qi’s way of inspiring his disciples to pursue excellence vigorously.

Of course, it was also an open scheme.

The benefits were laid out plainly.

It was a challenge for disciples to gain honor for the clan, to contribute to the clan.

Those with true ability would eventually obtain them all.

Bai Xiao’s gaze swept over the three items without hesitation.

He immediately locked onto the Strengthening Pill in the middle.

As for Rui Nao Paste, Bai Xiao already had the robust talent of Pure Heart, so it wasn’t particularly necessary. And the Blood Continuation Powder, which could suppress a grave injury and temporarily restore combat strength during battle... But in his view, instead of relying on the powder to recover in battle due to insufficient strength, it was better to consume the Strengthening Pill to improve his strength and win!

"I’ll take this one."

Bai Xiao reached out and picked up the box in the middle directly.

"Good."

Yan Qi glanced at Bai Xiao and nodded.

He seemed to have seen through Bai Xiao’s character somewhat.

"By the way, the Strengthening Pill can be taken directly or combined with some auxiliary medicinal herbs for use during a medicinal bath, which can slightly enhance the effect..."

"As you wish,"

Yan Qi reminded him.

He truly appreciated Bai Xiao.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Bai Xiao bowed as a disciple, sincerely thanking him.

Half an hour later, dojo, Medicine Bath Room.

Having procured a large pile of medicinal herbs from the total medicinal warehouse, Bai Xiao and Chen Liao worked together to prepare the medicinal water for the bath. Inside the wooden tub, the dark purple medicinal water bubbled and boiled, looking a bit like a witch’s brew.

While it looked intimidating, it actually smelled pleasantly fragrant.

Bai Xiao closed the door, stripped off his clothes.

His robust body slowly stepped into the center of the medicinal tub.

He sat down cross-legged, gradually adjusting his state to the best condition.

Breathing evenly, blood and Qi stable.

Bai Xiao opened his eyes, took the Strengthening Pill beside him, and swallowed it in one gulp!

Gulp.

A fierce and surging heat immediately swept through his body from his stomach.
