Xiao Bai opened the door, and dazzling sunlight flooded his vision.
Unable to help himself, he raised a hand to shield his eyes. It took quite a while before they adjusted.
He could not help sighing. "The weather is really nice—perfect for going out!"
As he looked around, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
The area around the house was filled with "weeds." Of course, that was merely Xiao Bai's own impression; anyone knowledgeable would never call them that.
Countless exotic flowers and rare herbs had been planted throughout the entire valley.
The medicinal herbs were arranged in distinct layers, spaced with care. They had clearly been meticulously tended.
The real weeds had long since been cleared away. Xiao Bai looked around, casually found a place to sit, and lowered himself down.
Breathing in the fragrant scent of medicinal herbs, he began attending to his own business.
"Open the interface."
As soon as he spoke, a sophisticated illusory interface visible only to him appeared before him.
It read:
User: Xiao Bai Energy: 286500 Attribute: Light Strength: One-star Dou Shi Soul: High Mortal Tier (Second-grade Alchemist) Body: Low-level Tier Two Magical Beast Dou Techniques: Mirage Light Slash Light Shield Light Escape Healing Light Spear of Light
... Looking at his Energy, Xiao Bai felt somewhat reluctant. Two hundred eighty-six thousand five hundred points of Energy—almost three hundred thousand.
It had taken him a long time to gather all of it. He really did not want it to disappear again so soon!
His cultivation technique was of a very high grade, but his strength was low, causing his Energy to accumulate slowly and making it difficult to keep up.
His cultivation technique gave him one hundred points per hour. Twenty-four hours a day only amounted to 2,400 points.
