Sword Dao Genius Xiao Bai

Xiao Bai's vision went black, and he slowly closed his eyes, losing his five senses and consciousness.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

He was soaking in the hot spring again.

Facing the Snow Curtain Sea of Clouds, with the Flourishing Peach Grove behind him.

The peach blossoms were in rampant bloom, to the point that the petals fell without wind, dancing in the sky, overshadowing the Sea of Clouds and Snow Curtain.

As far as Xiao Bai could see, the misty waves stretched for miles, with radiant light shining everywhere.

Everything was beautiful, but the Demoness was still nowhere to be seen.

The truth was, his body had been toyed with by the Demoness again!

It was a little humiliating, and a little exciting.

Strangely, he didn't hurt at all, only a slight itching from the new flesh growing.

Xiao Bai cautiously reached down to touch his chin.

--Intact!

Thankfully, he hadn't become a Slit-Mouth Man.

He looked at his chest again.

There were no stitches, no scars, only tender new skin growing where the wound had been, like an Infant Body.

This showed how exquisite the Butcher's Sword Technique was, and how miraculously the Elder could bring one back to life.

He turned his head to look at the edge of the pool.

His cotton clothes were neatly folded on the smooth stones of the pool bank, covered with cherry-red peach petals.

They had obviously been washed, and carried a faint scent of soapberry.

What was with this wifely feeling?

You're supposed to be the villain!

Xiao Bai complained in his mind, but felt warmth in his heart.

He was even more pleased because next to the cotton clothes was a Medicine Pouch embroidered with a green peach.

It was bulging, full of Pills and Elixirs!

It seemed that this sugar mama was sensible...

Xiao Bai excitedly opened the Medicine Pouch, and inside were all jujube-shaped red Pills and Elixirs.

They had a faint fishy smell mixed with pure Spiritual Power.

Xiao Bai was familiar with this kind of Pill and Elixir. It was the second most widely accepted currency in the Cultivation World besides Spirit Stones--

Blood Spirit Pill!

Blood Spirit Pills are mainly used to replenish Spiritual Power and blood, and accelerate the healing of physical injuries.

This Pill and Elixir is the most common tonic.

Although it is not the most top-grade Spirit Replenishing Elixir, it has the fewest side effects.

Even Mortals and low-level cultivators can use it with confidence, and it can really save lives at critical moments.

Especially now that Xiao Bai had the Heart-Returning Powder engraved on his Dantian Wall to protect his lifeline, he could quickly replenish a large number of Blood Spirit Pills to revive himself if he was attacked and on the verge of death.

Xiao Bai roughly counted, and there were more than a hundred Blood Spirit Pills in the Medicine Pouch!

The market price of Blood Spirit Pills is very stable, about ten Spirit Stones per Pill and Elixir.

Moreover, these were personally refined by the Pill Elder, so the price would only be higher.

In other words, this bag of Blood Spirit Pills was worth more than a thousand Spirit Stones!

It should be known that Spirit Stones were scarce in the Tian Yuan Era, and their purchasing power was astonishing.

Xiao Bai had previously asked the Elder for a dowry of a million Spirit Stones, which was actually a joke.

He used to produce and sell glass and soap in Chaoge City, and only earned five hundred taels of gold in two full years.

Converted into Spirit Stones, that was only a pitiful five.

These five Spirit Stones were not only used to bribe the Deacon of the Errand Disciple Quarters to successfully enter the sect, but also exchanged for Talisman Paper, spending a fortune in the Errand Disciple Quarters to make Cloud Friends.

A thousand Spirit Stones?

Elder Yuhu, please ravage me more, I can take it!

Xiao Bai tried to use the Blood Spirit Pills to improve his Cultivation.

As a result, after consuming more than a dozen Blood Spirit Pills, he only increased his Advancement progress from 69% to 70%...

This showed that the Spiritual Power component of the Blood Spirit Pills was not as good as Spirit Stones, and it was better at restoring flesh and blood than restoring Spiritual Power, so it was a bit of a waste to use them purely for Advancement.

So, Xiao Bai put the remaining hundred Blood Spirit Pills into the Item Bar in his Modifier, to be used as a backup.

At critical moments, they could replenish blood and save lives, and could also be used to balance out small amounts of Advancement progress.

Just then...

Gugu...

Xiao Bai was a little hungry; his stomach was staging a revolution.

Although the Elder's lower body could help his Cultivation, it was difficult to fill his belly.

It seemed that if he wanted to eat his fill, he would have to do it himself.

No sooner said than done, Xiao Bai immediately rolled out of the bath, changed into cotton clothes.

His Wife's hand-washed cotton clothes could be summed up in a single word: fragrant.

Both fragrant and soft.

Like...

Xiao Bai strolled around the bamboo forest and Medicine Garden, then went to the bamboo hut to take a look, but didn't see the Elder's figure.

The Modifier didn't give any reminders.

That meant she wasn't doing anything bad.

Maybe she was refining medicine in the pill room, maybe she was away on business, anyway, she was busy, so he didn't care.

He was now the master of Hundred Herbs Peak!

Wait, why did I add "master"?

Beside the lake.

Xiao Bai stood, staring at his reflection.

Besides being handsome, there wasn't anything particularly charming about him.

A gust of wind came.

Rippling the lake water, stirring up waves of flowers in the Medicine Garden.

The wind carried the fragrance of the mountain, permeating his heart and lungs, teasing every strand of his hair.

Looking into the distance, fine snow fell gently, and the Sea of Clouds was vast.

Occasionally, Immortal Cranes flew past, Sword Riding at high speed, or Flying Beasts soared.

It had to be said that the details in Cultivation games were still a bit lacking.

Wandering in the real Cultivation World was like experiencing a lucid dream.

He could only look at his Wife in the game, but in the Cultivation World, he could also...

Dissect her.

Xiao Bai took out the Bamboo Cutting Knife, and with a swaggering gait, performed a set of Butcher's Sword Technique on the spot.

He could actually use the sword to lead the person, his swordsmanship like the wind.

He actually displayed a vigorous, rapid, and transformative style.

At first glance, this sword technique was unremarkable, seemingly without any special effects.

On closer inspection, the sword's edge was precise to the slightest degree, like stepping on the beat madly while playing music and dancing.

Raising the blade with the wind, the knife sang with fragrance.

Passing through the snow, the snow shape did not dissipate.

With the knife in hand, coupled with the improvement of his Cultivation, Xiao Ran felt that his whole body was filled with endless power, as if he could chop down all the bamboo on Snow Flame Mountain in a day.

Even if he encountered a Cultivation World Goose, he was confident that he could fight it.

Gugu...

It wasn't a goose call, but his stomach.

Xiao Bai almost forgot to find something to eat.

He quickly burrowed into the bamboo forest, squatted for half an hour, and finally ambushed and caught some game--

A cute white Spiritual Rabbit!

It was said that a female rabbit could breed dozens of baby rabbits a year, so eating one wouldn't matter.

Twisting the rabbit as he returned to the lakeside, Xiao Bai sang "Little White Rabbit, white and white, two ears stand up," cut the veins, then the arteries, motionless and so cute.

That's how he sang it, and that's how he did it.

In no time, he painlessly bled the Little White Rabbit, skinned it, removed the tendons, took out the internal organs, and then started a fire to roast it.

He also found some peppercorn fruits for seasoning in the bamboo forest.

After one incense stick's worth of time...

A meaty aroma that went straight to the Spiritual Spleen erupted like a volcano.

With a mountain breeze, the heaven-defying rabbit fragrance could be smelled for ten miles against the wind.

Just like that, a delicious little rabbit was roasted.

Xiao Bai swallowed the rabbit ear in one gulp, devouring it like a whirlwind, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

It was fragrant, yes.

But the seasoning was still lacking; the taste was too bland.

Fortunately, the rabbit meat was rich in Spiritual Power; although eating it wouldn't increase his Cultivation, it could nourish every inch of his Body and Skin.

After the feast, Xiao Bai began to clean up the battlefield.

Suddenly, he discovered a chain-shaped blood mark remaining on the Rabbit Spine Bone he had eaten.

A Spirit Contract!

This was a Contracted Beast!

Xiao Bai was dumbfounded.

He had eaten the Elder's pet?

Wasn't that a waste!

Sneaking food doesn't increase Cultivation.

If the Elder got angry, it might even abuse him to vent its anger.

However, maybe it was the intuition he gained after being bound to the Female Lead—

Xiao Bai felt that this Spirit Contract didn't seem to originate from the Elder.

The rabbit's owner might be someone else...

That was even better!

He was now the Pill Elder's husband, his status surpassing all the instructors and core disciples.

So what if I ate your rabbit?

Thinking this, Xiao Bai felt relieved, descended the mountain, and headed straight for the Pill Pavilion at the mountainside to find Mu Yun and the Onmyoji to get some skins and equipment.

At the same time.

The sound of a Jade Flute echoed in the Sea of Clouds.

Only the melody was melodious.

The tone, however, was mournful.

A figure withdrew its Divine Sense, revealing a tall figure that seemed to pierce the clouds.

This was a middle-aged Daoist holding a three-foot Jade Flute, wearing a Crimson Flame Cloak, and draped with a Snow Wolf Fur Collar.

His features were like carvings, elegant yet exuding grandeur, as if ice and fire were intertwined, a mix of a lone wolf and a bootlicker.

It was none other than the Snow Flame Sect's Acting Sect Master—

Master Chun Xiao.

"I thought Junior Sister Yu Hu was deliberately disrespecting this seat and the Sect Overseer, but I didn't expect she had an eye for talent... a young man with such dismal talent is actually a Sword Dao Genius."
