Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

[Task: Obtain 100 portions of Rejuvenating Bath Herbs; Reward: 1 portion of Rejuvenating Elixir]

Seeing that the mission was successfully completed, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

However, he did not show it directly, but calmly accepted the medicinal herbs from Xiao Hai's hand.

The moment he received the medicinal herbs, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[Task: Obtain 100 portions of Rejuvenating Bath Herbs. Reward: One portion of Rejuvenating Elixir. Completed. Claim now?]

Xiao Yang did not collect it immediately. Instead, after saying goodbye to Xiao Hai, he headed towards his own courtyard.

Along the way, his pace quickened considerably.

He was eager to go back to the courtyard and see what the Rejuvenating Elixir was.

Soon, Xiao Yang, carrying the medicinal herbs, jogged all the way back to his small courtyard.

After closing the door, he tossed the precious medicinal herbs in his hand aside.

"System, claim your reward!"

The next moment, two pieces of information appeared in Xiao Yang's mind.

The first step is to open the system space, where the Rejuvenating Elixir has already been placed.

The second message concerned information about the Rejuvenating Elixir.

Upon seeing the information about the Rejuvenating Elixir, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

This Rejuvenating Elixir is actually a Grade One pill!

The function is very simple: add a drop of the Rejuvenating Elixir to water and soak for five minutes to restore a fighter's stamina. It can also be used at the Fighting Qi stage!

Not only that, it can also slightly improve one's physical condition.

Of course, if you have a strong constitution, one drop is not enough.

Moreover, it cannot improve physical fitness.

However, for Xiao Yang, it was perfectly fine.

In fact, his current physical condition is not as good as those fighters.

One drop could restore his stamina twice!

As for the system space, it can be used to store items awarded by the system.

Xiao Yang can access the data at any time.

He couldn't wait to take out the Rejuvenating Elixir from the system space.

With a thought, Xiao Yang produced a small glass bottle in his hand.

The glass bottle is small, only about the size of an adult man's thumb.

It contained some pale blue liquid.

There wasn't much liquid; it didn't even fill the small glass bottle.

There are only about ten to fifteen drops of spiritual liquid inside.

Xiao Yang carefully opened the glass cover.

The moment he opened it, he immediately smelled a pleasant fragrance.

After glancing at it, he quickly put the lid back on.

I've heard that the efficacy of some pills may gradually diminish once the lid is opened.

Xiao Yang didn't know any of this either.

However, it's better to turn it off.

He directly stored the Rejuvenating Elixir into his system space.

It's safer to keep such treasures in the system space.

A first-grade elixir, although it can only restore physical strength.

It is already very precious that it can only be used by people at the Battle Qi stage.

After casually placing the medicinal herbs he had brought earlier, Xiao Yang instructed his servants to fill the bathtub with water.

Then, he began to practice the Mountain-Opening Fist.

He had already set up the task yesterday.

Practicing the Mountain-Opening Fist until you've exhausted all your physical strength and fighting spirit before starting is also beneficial for cultivating fighting spirit.

This way, you can cultivate both fighting spirit and fighting skills, achieving two goals at once.

Soon, Xiao Yang practiced the Mountain-Opening Fist a hundred times again, and this time it only took him less than five hours.

It was about ten minutes faster than yesterday.

This is because Xiao Yang's proficiency with the Mountain-Opening Fist has increased, so his training speed has increased considerably.

When he finished practicing for the hundredth time, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

[Task: Practice the Mountain-Opening Fist 100 times. Reward: Mountain-Opening Fist Proficiency +1. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang accepted the reward without hesitation.

The next moment, his insights into the Mountain-Opening Fist flowed into his mind once again.

He could clearly feel that his mastery of the Mountain-Opening Fist had become much deeper.

After receiving the system's insights, Xiao Yang did not rush to create more tasks.

He went to the bathtub that had been prepared beforehand, took out the Rejuvenating Elixir from his system space, and carefully dripped a drop of the elixir.

The moment the elixir entered the water, the water in the entire bathtub instantly turned pale blue.

Chapter 5 Monster Essence Blood

Xiao Yang didn't care about the sweat on his body at this moment. He quickly took off his soaked clothes and couldn't wait to get into the bathtub.

The water, which was originally warm, had cooled down completely after being left for several hours.

However, the weather has been quite hot lately, but Xiao Yang doesn't care.

As soon as he entered the bathtub, he felt a cool sensation.

When his whole body was submerged in the water, he immediately felt a stinging sensation.

This feeling won't be uncomfortable.

On the contrary, this feeling made Xiao Yang feel tingly and numb.

Add cool water.

Xiao Yang actually felt quite comfortable.

"Ah~"

He could clearly feel an energy surging into his body from all directions.

My muscles, which were initially tired and sore, suddenly felt relaxed.

Xiao Yang subconsciously began to absorb the energy in the air and convert it into his own fighting spirit.

Soon, he made a somewhat surprising discovery.

I don't know if it's because the Rejuvenating Elixir spreads energy throughout the water.

He soaked in the bathtub absorbing battle energy, and his recovery speed was a little faster than before.

Although the difference isn't huge, there are definitely some differences.

Soon, a few minutes later, Xiao Yang felt that his strength had been restored.

He stood up and dried himself off.

After changing into another set of clothes, he glanced at the bathtub.

The water, which was originally light blue, became much lighter in color again.

However, it hasn't become transparent yet.

This indicates that the medicinal power of the elixir was not completely used up this time.

He can use it again later.

This immediately surprised and delighted Xiao Yang.

After carefully hiding the bathtub and the water inside in his room, Xiao Yang planned to have a meal before returning to cultivate.

……

Let's rewind to a few hours earlier.

After parting ways with Xiao Yang, Xiao Yan went to the back mountain to begin his cultivation.

He comes here often since his talent disappeared.

He came to a rock, sat down cross-legged, and began to absorb the surrounding energy as usual, transforming it into his own fighting spirit.

However, soon, a look of disappointment appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

Just like before, the battle qi he had transformed mysteriously disappeared again when he was about to store it away!

"hateful!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and placed them on the rocks beneath him.

Why does this happen again!

The wound on my hand, which had stopped bleeding, started bleeding again.

Looking at the bloodstains dripping onto the stone, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth.

"I don't want to suffer this humiliation again!"

After saying that, he prepared to continue his cultivation.

Just then, a voice rang out.
