Even the Heroine want to be my disciple
🕑 Added 2023-09-09 07:11:29 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 165 ---
After refining the 10th Tier Pill, everyone needed to recuperate for a week to recover their Dou Qi, Mental State, and Physical Fitness.
Thankfully, none of them passed away. The worst things only happened to some people as they received life-threatening injuries due to Lightning Calamity, but with enough miraculous pills, they'd recover in no time.
Above all of this, their efforts don't get wasted.
Besides Baek Ain, who successfully broke through into 1-Star Dou Saint Realm and some other things, they refined 81 Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pills.
These Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pills possessed excellent quality and five stripped marks, meaning their effects will get enhanced by 50%.
The problem with Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill is that one could only eat one in their lifetime. It was the restriction Baek Ain purposely placed when creating the recipe based on Bloodline Cleansing Pill.
After all, Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill contained a terrifying Dual Extreme Lightning Calamity's Energy. Eating one alone is more than enough to court a literal death.
Of course, there is a way to eat more.
By training the Innate Gene Cultivation Technique left behind by Fan Gu that Baek Ain recently improved, one could open gene locks through specific movement and breathing sequences.
Fan Gu truly meant it when he said, "The Human Body is a Treasure Trove."
...
...
At the small house, Baek Ain meditated and reviewed his gain.
He has completed his Sagefication and elevated Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique to another level. The Pure Dou Qi Energy is perfectly compressed to his flesh, bones, and blood.
Under True Ashen's Eyes, Baek Ain's body is akin to a universe with ten galaxies and endless stars.
The universe is Baek Ain's body. Ten galaxies are the Ten Rings of Divine Blood Diagram, which he could activate to burst more power. It seemed to react very well with the Ancestor's Blood Mark he cultivated.
As for the endless stars, they have scattered Dou Qi in his body, eternal and seemingly inexhaustible.
There is also the power of 1,000 Ancient Mammoths. It is the tyrannical physical prowess Baek Ain tediously accumulated since the beginning of his Cultivation Path.
Just one Ancient Mammoth had the strength of 20,000 Pounds or 9 tons. Multiply that by one thousand, and you'll get Baek Ain's current base strength.
And that's not counting several buff multipliers Baek Ain could activate.
Thanks to Parallel Thinking and rich experience over his body, Baek Ain could get the hang of his current base strength. He doesn't want to break someone's body by accident.
A thunderbolt escaped Baek Ain's skin and formed an evolved Mighty Rajang. It still looks like a massive baboon ape, but its fur gained a dark gold-like quality with a red hue. There is also an additional pair of horns on its head, coated with electricity.
Lightning/Thunder(Calamity) Elements merged with the Myriad Behemoth Sage Physique. It was bound to happen.
Mighty Rajang smacked his chest a few times and narrowed its eyes at Baek Ain.
"What do you want?" Baek Ain rolled his eyes.
Mighty Rajang roared and pointed at himself, then Baek Ain, lowering his head willingly.
"You acknowledge me?" Baek Ain was speechless.
Mighty Rajang nodded, but Baek Ain didn't go with the script.
"This fucker, I make you submit a long time ago!" He kicked Mighty Rajang in the face. "Go away, I'll let you fight later."
A grin appeared on Baek Ain's face as he tidied his clothes and walked out of the room.
Qing Lin greeted him already, "Morning~!"
"Morning.." Baek Ain awkwardly replied.
Qing Lin giggled and shook her head, "Don't make such a face, hubby. I'm not angry or anything."
"You only left me alone for ten days, that's it." She smiled gently.
'That smile... You said you weren't angry!' Baek Ain was speechless.
After cuddling for fifteen minutes, Qing Lin fully charged her Baek Ain's energy and left with full spirits. When he was gone, refining the 10th Tier Pill and recuperating, Qing Lin went to the nearby mountain and tamed several Snake-type Magical Beasts.
Qing Lin's Cultivation Base is increasing steadily.
Baek Ain and Qing Lin went to the backyards and were "immediately." greeted by two charming voices.
"Teacher/Teacher's Wife!" Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi bowed at them respectfully.
Qing Lin coughed and elbowed Baek Ain softly.
Baek Ain's mouth twitched as he said, "Ling'er, Zhi'er, how is your condition?"
"I'm fine. I've fully recovered my Dou Qi and even broken through to the Low Stage of Half-Saint Realm." Ling'er answered confidently.
"Thanks to the Heavenly Flames' Fusion, my Quasi-Heavenly Flame also gained a qualitative change."
"It's all thanks to the Teacher's Magnanimousness." She fawned over him eventually.
Huo Zhi rolled her eyes inside. This senior sister of hers has such a sweet mouth!
The lady from Yan Clan rubbed her forehead and reported her condition too, "I'm also fine, Teacher."
"Besides some headaches, my Physical Fitness and Dou Qi have returned to their optimal state. My Red Lotus Body grew stronger because of the excess Fire Elements when refining Dou Di's Blood Purifying Pill."
"I feel mastering the Extermination Fire Body won't take a long time."
"Good." Baek Ain nodded in satisfaction. It was an honest reaction.
After all, Baek Ain hadn't taught these two for long, and they progressed so fast under his tutelage.
Is this how it feels to teach a smart kid?
Baek Ain sighed inside and began to tell them their following tasks, to which Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi attentively listened.
He acted like a stern teacher and said indifferently, "Don't be happy with such small progress."
"What you two must do next is more challenging."
"Ling'er, I want you to reach 9th Tier Alchemist as soon as possible."
"As for you, Zhi'er. Try to merge your Red Lotus Body into Fire Extermination Body without failing."
"We heard Teacher's Order!" Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi nodded, giving Baek Ain a bow. After that, they left and focused on their studies.
Baek Ain watched them leave and closed his eyes. He really caught three Ancient Clans in one swoop.
Unfortunately, there are no cheers or hatred sowed in progress.
Wait, maybe there was someone. Baek Ain tilted his head but shrugged it off a moment later because it wasn't significant to him.
As Baek Ain and Qing Lin were about to enter the house back, a nervous step landed in their front yard.
Qing Lin frowned and pouted, "Someone is here."
"It's a girl."
"Haha..." Baek Ain laughed helplessly.
Who could he possibly blame? His handsomeness?
No, it's a skill.
[Name: Sky God's Intuition]
[Type: Active/Passive]
[Grade: SSS]
[Description: You inherited the will of the Great Sky God(Fan Gu). Your mannerisms and movement alone would captivate the opposite gender's interest and heart. When on Active Mode, the effect will be subtle as it forms an aura of confidence around the wielder. When in Passive Mode, there is a high chance of triggering "Love at First Sight." or "Hateful Playboy's Aura."]
[Innate Effect: Opposite's Gender Favorability +90%, Mental Damage Received -90%]
Baek Ain's mouth twitched every time he read this skill. Fan Gu's annoying face always appeared on his face.
It was a powerful skill, Baek Ain admitted.
However, it was also troublesome. Just how many female hearts Fan Gu swindled to reach such a stage? Even Baek Ain couldn't fathom this guy's past achievements.
Baek Ain closed the system panel and told Qing Lin he'd return in an hour or two. He walked to the front yard and saw Gu Xun'ernervously staring at the front door.
Gu Xun'er hardened her expression as she reached for the door to knock.
"Do you need something?" A voice suddenly woke her up.
Gu Xun'er was startled and turned around, seeing Baek Ain with a small smile hanging on his face. "G-Grandmaster Lin."
"T-This is..."
"I-I'm..."
Baek Ain chuckled at her adorable reaction and said, "You seem to have a lot of things to say."
"What about a small chat on a hill?" He invited her.
Gu Xun'er instinctively nodded and followed Baek Ain to a serene-looking hill covered with healthy green grass. A large tree with beautiful yellow leaves planted at the top, swaying gently.
Sitting below the tree, Baek Ain offered Gu Xun'er a snack, but she rejected it politely.
After an awkward moment, Gu Xun'er finally opened her mouth and told him, "Grandmaster Lin, can you hear my story for a bit?"
"I just want to clean up my mind..."
"For a few months, I have been in a dilemma."
'I'm all ears." Baek Ain nodded while smiling.
Gu Xun'er revealed an excited expression as she recited her childhood story with Xiao Yan. She vented all her frustration in this story and felt helpless throughout it.
She was just a little girl.
She has no real power besides some lofty Cultivation Base and Heavenly Flame lent by her Gu Clan. Her teary eyes dropped tears gently.
"I'm sorry for showing my unsightly side." Gu Xun'er wiped her tears with her hand.
Baek Ain sighed and commented, "It's okay."
"Here." He handed her a handkerchief.
As Gu Xun'er took the handkerchief, Baek Ain said, "You're strong, Lady Gu."
"Even though the person who disappointed you didn't deserve your kindness, you still try your best."
"Even when pushed to the corner, you never gave up."
Hearing Baek Ain's words, Gu Xun'er felt touched.
Baek Ain stretched his hand and held her hand gently, "I admire you, Lady Gu."
"Xun'er." Gu Xun'er gazed at Baek Ain firmly.
"You can call me Xun'er, Grandmaster Lin."
"Then, Lady Xun'er." Baek Ain beamed at Gu Xun'er, making her blush a little.
[Oh, No! Anyways~] Alicia munched her virtual popcorn.
Gu Xun'er patted her chest to calm herself down.
She bit her lips and asked, "This is maybe too much as we only knew each other less than two weeks, but... Grandmaster Lin, do you still accept more disciples?"
"If yes, can Xun'er become your disciple?" She hopefully continued.
Baek Ain blinked in surprise.
Damn!
Even the Heroine wants to be my Disciple!
"That..." Baek Ain looked at Gu Xun'er blankly, causing her heart to tighten.
"That would be wonderful, Lady Xun'er."
"Gu Xun'er greets Teacher!" Gu Xun'er let a cheerful expression and happily kowtowed toward Baek Ain.
Oh boy, Xiao Yan wouldn't see this coming.
