Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa
Chapter 269 White Crane visits Xiao Tian at night for her granddaughter, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginsen
She acquired body-refining techniques at the same time as Xiao Wu. However, she remained at the Soul Sect realm for slightly longer than Xiao Wu.
During this period, through continuous training, she managed to bridge the physical gap between support-type and attack-type soul masters.
That's why her fifth spirit ring's age was able to match Xiao Wu's.
Pharmacy.
When Yang Wudi learned of Xiao Tian's plan, his opinion was exactly the same as Dugu Bo's initial view.
In Yang Wudi's view, Xiao Tian is currently the strongest fighting force in their sect.
How could Xiao Tian personally attempt such a crucial experiment as condensing a soul ring?
It would be perfectly acceptable to have disciples from the sect try it out on their behalf, and then give them more compensation.
Yang Wudi had this idea partly because he was considering the overall situation of the sect. Only if Xiao Tian did not encounter any unexpected events and became increasingly powerful would their sect develop better and better.
On the other hand, since all four disciples follow the extreme single-attribute route, the lack of this one soul ring will not actually have a significant impact.
Furthermore, find some disciples with relatively lower strength to try. Even if they fail in the end and do not condense the Qi and Blood Soul Ring, they can recover after a period of recuperation with medicine because of their lower cultivation level.
Because of his low cultivation level, the experiment's failure wouldn't cause him as much harm. But Yang Wudi dared not imagine the consequences if Xiao Tian failed.
This is not because Yang Wudi is inherently cold. After all, he is now a member of the sect and serves as the head of the medicine hall. His position is only below the (vice) sect leader and elders, making him a high-ranking figure in the sect.
For this reason, he had to consider the sect's overall situation.
However, after Dugu Bo's persuasion, he also realized that Xiao Tian could be quite stubborn at times.
Therefore, he ultimately chose to believe Xiao Tian.
After all, it seems anything can happen with Xiao Tian.
Therefore, he immediately issued an order to summon all the core disciples of the medicine hall and strive to refine a sufficient number of Qi and Blood potions and pills before noon the next day.
He planned to have Xiao Tian take these potions and pills into the mysterious space before Xiao Tian entered. According to his estimation, if Xiao Tian stayed in the mysterious space for a year, there was a very high chance that he would increase his soul power by four levels.
For other Soul Emperors, increasing their Soul Power by one level every three months might sound like a joke. But for Xiao Tian, it's not impossible.
Moreover, the mysterious space can accelerate cultivation, so he is very likely to condense his seventh soul ring directly inside.
That night, time quietly slipped away.
Xiao Tian did not go to find Xiao Wu or Rongrong. This was because he needed to make full preparations for entering the Spiritual Time Chamber the next day, carefully planning every detail in his mind.
"Come in." Just then, Xiao Tian keenly sensed a familiar presence outside, so he spoke softly.
The next moment, Xiao Tian's door was slowly opened, and the person who walked in was Bai He.
Xiao Tian's gaze fell on Bai He, and he couldn't help but wonder about his arrival. He then asked, "Senior Bai He, is there something important that you've come to see me so late?"
Bai He wasn't surprised that Xiao Tian could sense his arrival, after all, Xiao Tian was a sword cultivator. He walked forward with a smile, but when he looked at Xiao Tian, his expression still seemed somewhat unnatural.
"Sect Master, I came here tonight because I have a request to make of you." Bai He's tone was very solemn, and he addressed Xiao Tian as Sect Master.
Xiao Tian roughly guessed his purpose and smiled inwardly.
Perfect timing! He hadn't yet found a suitable reason to take the immortal herb from the white crane's hand, and now was the perfect opportunity.
This kind of thing definitely requires Baihe to take the initiative. If Baihe takes the initiative, he might give something in return for Baihe's sake, but he will feel uncomfortable in his heart, because it would be as if he were forcing someone else, which is definitely not the situation he wants to see.
The main reason is that when Crystal Blood Dragon works together with Acacia Heartbreak Red, it can bring Xiao Wu an extremely significant boost.
Xiao Wu is currently at level 50. If she consumes this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, not only will her physical body become stronger, but it is estimated that it will also increase her soul power by about five levels.
Normally, ordinary celestial herbs cannot bring such a significant increase in soul power to a Soul King, but when the Crystal Blood Dragon is combined with the remaining medicinal effects of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, this effect can be achieved.
Xiao Tian looked at Bai He calmly and said, "Senior Bai He, as I have already said, you can just call me by my name in private. There is no need to address me as Sect Master so formally."
However, Bai He shook his head and replied, "No, this matter is of utmost importance, and I do have some personal motives. I hope the sect will grant my request."
Xiao Tian said, "Then tell me the specifics first."
Bai He said with utmost sincerity, "Sect Master, I hope you can arrange for my granddaughter to enter that mysterious space for one day. The situation on the continent is currently turbulent, and I hope she can grow up as quickly as possible."
"Senior Baihe, are you referring to Bai Chenxiang? I wonder what her current soul power level is?" Xiao Tian asked calmly.
Xiao Tian remembered that Bai Chenxiang was about three years younger than Tang San, which meant that Bai Chenxiang was about eleven years old at the moment.
In the original novel, Bai Chenxiang was already a level 45 Soul Master when she appeared. At that time, Tang San was around 39 years old, while Bai Chenxiang would be around 16 years old.
To be honest, Bai Chenxiang's talent is comparable to that of the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.
It was even one level higher than Shui Bing'er's when she participated in the Soul Master Competition at the age of sixteen.
Bai Chenxiang's martial soul, the Swifttail, follows the path of pure agility. Because of this, she may not appear that powerful, causing people to overlook her talent.
Despite possessing such talent, he could only obtain a Yellow-level Level 1 test in the Seven Sacred Pillars Trial on Seagod Island, and the test task was to kiss Ma Hongjun for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which was truly full of perverse humor.
At that time, Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun's relationship was far from reaching that level; it was merely at the stage where Ma Hongjun was pursuing Bai Chenxiang.
It was later that Ma Hongjun's martial soul evolved, burning away all the fat in his body and making him handsome. Otherwise, Bai Chenxiang probably wouldn't have even looked at Ma Hongjun, this fat guy.
Although Ma Hongjun is exceptionally talented, Bai Chenxiang's own talent is not bad either; it's just that her comparison is inappropriate.
Bai Chenxiang is a beautiful young woman, so there's really no reason for her to fall in love with a fat man who isn't handsome and is somewhat sleazy.
A particularly important point is that the Min clan lived an extremely difficult life back then. They certainly didn't have a simulated cultivation environment, let alone one that the other three clans might have.
Even under such circumstances, Bai Chenxiang still possesses a soul power level of forty-five!
This requires not only great talent, but also an extremely firm mindset.
(This shouldn't be considered exaggerating Chenxiang's abilities, right? Reaching level 45 at sixteen is quite good compared to the Five Elements of the Golden Generation.)
After careful consideration, Xiao Tian concluded that in terms of cultivation, Bai Chenxiang was almost a carbon copy of Zhu Zhuqing.
In fact, even if Bai He hadn't come to him, he would have been willing to train Bai Chenxiang. As Bai He's granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang was capable and would inevitably take over Bai He's position in the future, and take charge of the Shu Mountain Sword Formation in Bai He's place.
Moreover, once his soul power reaches the Soul Saint level, he will receive another 200,000 points, which will allow him to open the Spiritual Time Chamber more often.
Setting aside a few days for Bai Chenxiang to improve her strength would be no problem at all.
Seeing that Xiao Tian had been deep in thought for a long time, Bai He hardened his heart, took out a box from his person, and handed it to Xiao Tian.
Upon opening the box, a ginseng root, its surface tinged with blood, lay quietly inside.
Xiao Tian feigned a look of shock and said, "This...this is Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"
Xiao Tian looked at Bai He with a more serious expression: "Senior Bai He, how does your Minzhi clan possess such a precious immortal herb?"
Bai He smiled and said, "This was passed down from my ancestors. I didn't know the specific effects of this magical herb before, and I didn't dare to give it to my granddaughter casually. I thought about asking the old goat, but I was afraid that the medicine fanatic would just take this magical herb away from me, and that would be the end of it."
"I was thinking, with your insight, Sect Master, perhaps you know the uses of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. How about we use it to exchange for my granddaughter's one day of cultivation in the mysterious space? What do you think?"
After Bai He finished speaking, he saw Xiao Tian shake his head, his face immediately stiffening. Could it be that it wouldn't work? Bai He's mood immediately became somewhat disappointed.
Xiao Tian knew Bai He had misunderstood, so he explained, "Senior Bai He, even if you hadn't said anything, I would have let Bai Chenxiang in later anyway. After all, I think her talent is quite good, and she will be following in your footsteps in the future. This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is indeed far too valuable."
Bai He was a shrewd man, and he could easily see Xiao Tian's interest in the immortal herb. Although he felt a little heartbroken, he was relieved to receive Xiao Tian's reply.
His granddaughter went in for a day, and when she comes out, she should be a Soul Master. If she comes out even faster, she might become a Soul Grandmaster in no time, which would be a good thing for him!
"Hehe, Xiao Tian, what are you talking about? Now that I've taken this out, there's no reason for me to take it back. If it's useful for improving your strength, then that's my contribution to the sect." Bai He smoothly changed his form of address back.
Xiao Tian smiled and shook his head, accepting the immortal herb as a matter of course, but he wouldn't take it for free; that wasn't in his nature.
"Don't worry, Senior Baihe, I won't treat you unfairly. Since I've taken your immortal herb, I'll nurture Bai Chenxiang for you. Let's follow the agility-based attack route I mentioned before. The first two soul skills are both speed-enhancing, which I think is excellent."
What Xiao Tian said about switching to an agility-based attack strategy doesn't mean that some of his spirit rings will abandon speed enhancement in favor of attack. Rather, it means that while speed enhancement is still important, attack is secondary; if it's not, then so be it. Speed is the primary factor.
As for the lack of attack power, it can be completely replaced by weapons. After all, Soul Masters are not always in competitions where the use of weapons is prohibited.
Moreover, Bai Chenxiang is still young, so she could teach her some ideas on creating her own soul skills and let her try them out herself.
Not to mention anything else, a wind blade attack similar to Feng Xiaotian's, which condenses into a hand blade, is no easier for Bai Chenxiang, a genuine bird-type martial soul, than the Gale Demon Wolf.
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Bai He was delighted and said with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Xiao Tian."
But then, Xiao Tian's expression turned serious, and he looked at Bai He with a half-smile, saying, "Senior Bai He, there's something I want to tell you as a friend. I hope you won't mind after you hear it."
Bai He looked at Xiao Tian's serious face, paused slightly, and tentatively asked, "What is it?"
Seeing Xiao Tian's serious expression, his heart couldn't help but pound.
Xiao Tian sighed and said, "Senior Baihe, logically speaking, I shouldn't have spoken of you like that tonight after receiving your Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. But that's just how I am; I can't keep things bottled up inside, or it will affect my cultivation. I'm very happy to receive your immortal herb, but have you thought about Senior Yang Wudi?"
"Huh?" The white crane was still a little confused and asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with the old goat?"
Xiao Tian continued, "Senior Baihe, when your Min Clan was in dire straits, wasn't the Po Clan the one that provided you the most assistance? Yet you were afraid that Senior Yang Wudi would take this immortal herb away, so you were unwilling to ask him about its uses and even harbored such suspicions about him. Do you think Senior Yang Wudi would feel a little disheartened if he knew this?"
"You've known each other for so long, shouldn't you know Yang Wudi better than I do? Does he seem like the kind of person who would do something like this?"
Upon hearing this, Bai He finally understood why Xiao Tian had such a serious expression and why he had told him not to mind. In Xiao Tian's eyes, wasn't this a sign of distrust towards his longtime friend?
To be honest, the old goat has indeed helped me a lot over the years, and I really shouldn't think of him that way. Even if the old goat was tempted by what I offered, considering our years of friendship, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give him a little of this immortal herb.
Yes, if Yang Wudi wanted it, it wasn't necessary to give him the whole plant. Given his personality, he would probably be happy for a long time if he were given just a portion.
Moreover, given the old goat's temperament, if he knew the importance of the immortal herb, he probably wouldn't have cheated him. In an instant, Baihe felt a deep sense of guilt.
Seeing Bai He's expression, Xiao Tian patted him on the back and smiled, "Senior Bai He, let's just let this matter rest. It's between you and me, and no third person will know. You can help him secretly within your own capabilities." Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow at Bai He.
