Chapter 875: Chapter 0875: Altitude Sickness

"It is helping your master absorb poison."

Tang Ming widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.

He saw the two streams of black qi entering the little bat’s body and then beginning to spread out. In the blink of an eye, the little bat’s transparent body turned increasingly black.

Tang Ming immediately reached out to check Bai Yun’s body and was shocked to find that the intense poison within Bai Yun was surging towards the spot where the little bat had bitten, finally being absorbed into the little creature’s body.

All the poison in Bai Yun’s body was completely absorbed by the little bat. When the bat finally let go of its bite, the black qi within it churned a few times and then disappeared.

Watching the little bat return to its original state, Tang Ming seemed to see the little bat’s body enlarge momentarily before resuming its normal size.

The little bat bared its teeth contentedly, flashed a few times around the room in a red glow, and finally burrowed back into Tang Ming’s collar.

"No way! This little guy shows no sign of any poison, yet it can actually swallow poison," Tang Ming realized with a surge of dismay, thinking that from now on, he had another competitor for poisons.

"Although I don’t know why this little guy can consume poison and what effect it has, it seems that going forward, I need to be cautious when taking poisons myself. Otherwise, all my good stuff will be gobbled up by it."

Unhappy, Tang Ming made a mental note and put away the Secret Technique Fragment in his hand. Since Bai Yun was just poisoned and not harmed in her meridians, this dispensable secret technique was useless for her. It would be better left for him to study.

"Hmm?"

Bai Yun, who had been pale-faced, now had a rosy complexion. She opened her eyes with a soft hum.

"Master, you’re awake."

Bai Feifei, too excited to care about the wonders of the little bat, sat at the bedside and helped Bai Yun up.

"What happened to me?"

Bai Yun opened her eyes, looking at Bai Feifei in confusion: "There was a problem during my training, and then I don’t remember anything else."

"Master, you have been unconscious for two weeks."

Bai Feifei began to cry emotionally and pointed to Tang Ming, saying, "It’s thanks to this Mr. Tang Xin coming to your rescue, or else you would have left us disciples behind."

"Mr. Tang Xin."

Bai Yun then looked at Tang Ming and gratefully said, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Tang. I am deeply indebted."

"You’re welcome, it’s my duty."

Tang Ming smiled faintly and sighed: "Heavenly Cloud Palace is lucky to have good disciples like Bai Lingxiao and Liu Lian, or I wouldn’t have been able to help."

"Lingxiao and Liu Lian?"

Bai Yun was slightly stunned, showing a puzzled expression.

"Master, my brother and sister-in-law are no longer with us."

Bai Feifei couldn’t help crying again, then recounted what had happened during this period, especially the part about the Ming Group taking advantage of the situation to annex Heavenly Cloud Palace, which made her extremely angry.

After hearing the whole story, Bai Yun was first angry and then mournful. Liu Lian and Bai Lingxiao were her most valued disciples, and she hadn’t expected them to meet such a tragic end at such a young age. The grief of a white-haired person burying a black-haired person was overwhelming.

Tang Ming didn’t interrupt Bai Feifei and Bai Yun’s conversation but quietly left the room.

After leaving the courtyard, Tang Ming found Liu Mengting, Xia Wei’er, and Chen Cang practicing martial arts with the disciples of Heavenly Cloud Palace in the plaza in front of the hall.

To be precise, the disciples of Heavenly Cloud Palace were practicing martial arts, while Liu Mengting and the other two were watching from the side and trying to follow along. Chen Cang was seriously giving instructions nearby.

"It seems you guys like it here."

As Tang Ming approached, he greeted them with a cheerful smile.

"Oh my, Brother Tang Ming is out!"

Li Xiaoli immediately dropped her wooden sword and exclaimed excitedly, "I’ve only seen martial arts sects like this in movies before. I can’t believe we’ve actually come to such a place!"

"Yeah, there really are so many people training in martial arts. No wonder Tang Ming and some of the Martial Arts Families in Songlan City are so formidable. You all are true martial artists."

Liu Mengting also sighed with emotion.

After smiling at Tang Ming, Xia Wei’er continued to seriously practice martial arts with the disciples of Heavenly Cloud Palace. She was eager to become strong enough not to drag Tang Ming down.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli came from well-off, prestigious backgrounds, but Xia Wei’er only had a not fully-grown ID card. If she wanted to stay by Tang Ming’s side, she needed to keep improving herself, and becoming a martial artist was the most direct way.

"I’m done with my business. Let’s say our goodbyes soon, so we can go back."

Tang Ming smiled, having no interest in the martial arts of the Heavenly Cloud Palace disciples.

"Going back so soon?"

Li Xiaoli was immediately conflicted and timidly asked, "Can we stay here a bit longer? I want to learn martial arts from these sisters. Once I master my divine skill, I won’t need to use a gun to deal with people anymore. Whoever dares to bully me, I’ll kick them so hard they’ll never recover."

"Uh... you want to stay here to learn martial arts?"

Tang Ming was slightly surprised.

"Xiaoli, are you out of your mind?"

Liu Mengting quickly pulled Li Xiaoli, irritated, "Are you sure you have the patience to stay in this dense forest? Besides, with Tang Ming’s martial arts being so powerful, you can totally learn from him instead of staying in the mountains and suffering."

"Yes, exactly! Look at me. I became this strong by following Brother Ming’s martial arts training."

Chen Cang immediately chimed in, proudly saying, "If you want to train in martial arts, just follow Brother Ming. He’ll make you a martial arts master in the shortest time possible."

"Oh right! Why didn’t I think of that?"

Li Xiaoli finally realized: "And it’s about to be New Year. We really can’t stay here to learn martial arts."

"What’s wrong with you? It seems like your intelligence dropped after coming up the mountain. Just now, you almost let Bai Feifei know about the engagement, and now you’re acting silly again. Are you sick?"

Liu Mengting looked at Li Xiaoli with concern.

"Oh, please! Maybe it’s because we walked so far and climbed such a high mountain that my brain isn’t functioning well."

Li Xiaoli laughed sheepishly and raised her fist: "This is called altitude sickness. Once I get down the mountain, my intelligence will be back to normal."

"Really, there’s no dealing with you." Everyone rolled their eyes at Li Xiaoli.

"Mr. Tang."

Just then, Bai Feifei supported Bai Yun, now dressed in a black robe, appearing on the steps of the hall.

"Palace Master (Master)!"

The disciples of Heavenly Cloud Palace, who were practicing martial arts, quickly greeted Bai Yun with excitement. The Palace Master had woken up, giving them a pillar of strength.
