บท 142: Chapter 142: Missing Out
"It's empty? Empty! Teacher! It's empty inside! There's no Core Quenching Body Milk! None!" Xiao Yan's expression was blank. If it weren't for Yao Chen's help, he might have fallen straight down from a hundred meters in the air.
"If there isn't, then there isn't. Why are you behaving like this? Have you forgotten about the Green Lotus Core Flame back then? Wasn't it obtained later?" Yao Chen sighed heavily, his tone somewhat serious.
From the beginning, the Core Quenching Body Milk had nothing to do with them.
It's indeed worth rejoicing if you find something unexpected.
But if you don't find it, there's no need to be angry.
Xiao Yan fell silent, took a few deep breaths, and finally adjusted his state.
"When Senior Sister Han Yue gave it to me before, I should have just accepted it," he said with a bitter smile.
This time, it was truly a fruitless effort.
On the other side,
Lin Xiu and his group traversed the forest, and finally returned to the Academy.
"We're finally back."
"This trip out was really worth it."
"With this thing, I feel like I have a chance to compete for the top three this year."
"Are you sure you're serious? Are you confident if you meet Zi Yan? Can you handle Lin Xiu if you meet him?"
Yan Hao grinned at the person.
The other person stole a glance at Lin Xiu and immediately felt awkward. These two leaders were both monsters who could make you regret with just one punch.
"Ah, I won't waste time with you guys. I'll go first. Oh right, Han Yue, next time something like this happens, you must call me."
Lin Xiu Ya waved his hand and left first.
Then Yan Hao and the others also left one after another.
"Junior Brother, thank you for this time," Han Yue smiled faintly.
"Senior Sister, don't mention it. I also benefited from it, didn't I?" Lin Xiu laughed.
In terms of gains, he was definitely the biggest winner this time.
Which one of them had a bigger harvest than him?
Moreover, these people themselves didn't even know, thinking they had taken advantage of him and owed him a big favor.
He couldn't even calculate how much he had gained this time.
Han Yue's face turned slightly red.
'He said don't mention it? Does that mean he already sees me as one of his own?'
She nodded gently. "Junior Brother, I'll go back to prepare for the upcoming Strong Ranking Grand Competition. You should also do your best!"
Making a gesture of encouragement, as if it took a lot of effort, Han Yue's face turned even redder.
"Strong Ranking Grand Competition?"
Watching Han Yue's figure disappear into the distance, Lin Xiu shook his head slightly, not really interested in participating.
Firstly, Strong Ranking Grand Competition was to select the top ten, who could gain the opportunity for Heart Fire Body-Forging, increasing the chances of breaking through to Dou King.
But Lin Xiu was already a Dou King; he didn't need it at all.
Secondly,
Since agreeing to Elder Su's proposal, Lin Xiu could access those Heart Fires every once in a while.
Perhaps for other students, it was something very rare and precious.
But for Lin Xiu, it was nothing special.
"It seems that the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame occurred during this Heart Fire Body-Forging journey. At that time, Xiao Yan was involved at the bottom of the tower by the Fallen Heart Flame.
Hiss, considering this, I don't have much time left. I must hurry up and cultivate the Fire Spirit.
Otherwise, I won't have the capital to contend with the Fallen Heart Flame."
Lately, the Fallen Heart Flame in the tower has been very restless. Next time, I'll deliberately leak some information to Han Feng and get a sample of Sixth Rank Magic Beast blood from him. My Aptitude can already be improved, I can't keep stagnating."
Lin Xiu walked towards the dormitory. he had ascended to Dou King for a while now, but his Aptitude had always been stuck in the 50 range. Normally, he could use Attribute Points to break through to 60, but he didn't have any Sixth Rank Magic Beast blood on hand.
Before, Lin Xiu actually went searching nearby with Zi Yan for Sixth Rank Magic Beasts. Although Zi Yan seemed petite, her fists were not small at all. Even facing a Sixth Rank Magic Beast, she could still pound them until they were covered in bruises.
However, enraged Sixth Rank Magic Beasts still made them somewhat apprehensive, making it difficult to kill them.
Generally, at this level, Sixth Rank Magic Beasts' intelligence was no different from that of adults, quite cunning.
At the entrance of the courtyard,
Just after Lin Xiu, Han Yue, and the others left, a young man walked out from the shadows.
His eyes were filled with a dense red hue, and his whole being exuded a sense of ferocity from within.
In the inner courtyard, such people were quite common.
Their condition was known as Fire Poison entering the body, which would occur after long periods of cultivation in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
However, individuals as intense as this young man were still relatively rare.
"So, your name is Lin Xiu. Finally, I've found you!" Lin Yan stared directly at the place where Lin Xiu's figure disappeared.
No wonder you were able to snatch my Green Wood Celestial Vine!
I'm such a fool; I should have thought of him sooner!
During this time, apart from him, there haven't been any particularly terrifying newcomers in the inner courtyard.
"Phew, no big deal. I never planned to snatch it back anyway. My deal with Xiao Yan was simply to help him find the person who possesses the Green Wood Celestial Vine. As for how he gets it, that's Xiao Yan's problem to worry about."
Lin Yan let out a sigh.
When he saw Lin Xiu's face just now, he almost couldn't resist rushing up to confront him.
In the inner courtyard, who didn't know about his volatile temper?
But occasionally, he had moments of clarity, like when he encountered Zi Yan, Lin Xiu Ya, and others.
He noticed Lin Xiu Ya and Yan Hao, so he didn't act impulsively.
Now that he knew Lin Xiu's identity, he no longer had the urge to act rashly.
Sometimes, impulsiveness depends on the target.
If you rush into a fight you can't win, aren't you just asking for trouble?
...
Back at his residence, before even entering, Lin Xiu heard Zi Yan's loud voice.
He pushed open the door.
In the courtyard, Lin Dun was running around, barbecuing on one side and stir-frying on the other.
At the table nearby sat a little girl in white, watching Lin Dun's busy figure while leisurely swinging her legs, which couldn't touch the ground.
"Lin Xiu? Where did you go? That big guy is back again, come with me to teach it a lesson!" Zi Yan slammed her hand on the table, then jumped down and ran to Lin Xiu.
She waved her fist, looking like she was complaining to her brother about something she endured outside.
Lin Xiu put his hand on her little head, turned Zi Yan in another direction, and guided her back to the table.
"I'll give you something nice to taste."
Lin Xiu took a teacup, opened a jade bottle, and poured a drop of emerald liquid into it.
"Such potent energy!"
As soon as the bottle was opened, Zi Yan's eyes widened.
When Lin Xiu pushed the cup in front of her, she lifted it and poured the Core Quenching Body Milk into her mouth.
"Brother Xiu, what's that?"
Lin Dun couldn't resist the temptation and ran over too.
"Just a simple whiff of the scent, and I feel refreshed, like all my fatigue has disappeared."
"Core Quenching Body Milk, it can increase the chance of breaking through to Dou King, a good stuff for refining the body and bones," Lin Xiu said with a smile.
"Break through to Dou King? Brother Xiu, don't give it to me, just keep it for yourself. I don't deserve to enjoy such things."
Seeing Lin Xiu bring a basin of water and drip a drop of milky white liquid into it, then pushing it in front of himself, Lin Dun suddenly felt a little flustered.
He was at a loss, feeling quite nervous.
"You've been working hard during this time. Let me make it clear, it's not that I'm stingy, but this stuff is too potent. If you don't dilute it, and just swallow it directly, you'll definitely burst and die."
Lin Xiu was always generous to his own people. "You better put it away. Drink a little occasionally; it will help with your cultivation."
"Thank you, Brother Xiu."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dun no longer hesitated.
Not long after, Du Chaoping and Leng Bai also returned, and Lin Xiu gave each of them a drop.
Although it was all Core Quenching Body Milk, theirs was milky white in color.
Zi Yan, on the other hand, received emerald-colored drop.
After all, the former was a gesture of goodwill, while the latter was an investment.
