117: Chapter 117: Dividing Immortal Grades to Gain Favor, Returning to Heavenly Battle
Su Ling brought Bai Chenxiang into the room, while Bai He stood Guard outside, ready to rush in immediately if any situation arose.
"Brother Su Ling, what are we doing here?" Bai Chenxiang asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Xiangxiang, how old are you this year, and what is your Soul Power level?" Su Ling asked Bai Chenxiang directly.
Ah... Why is Brother Su asking me this?
"I am sixteen. I only just raised my Soul Power to level thirty-five half a month ago," Bai Chenxiang replied.
Su Ling said, "Xiangxiang, your Soul Power is already quite impressive compared to many others in your age group."
Hearing Su Ling say this, Bai Chenxiang smiled slightly, looking very happy.
[Ding... Bai Chenxiang favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest * 2]
It was so easy to increase favorability again; this Bai Chenxiang's favorability is really easy to farm.
If I say a few more nice things, wouldn't I be able to increase favorability again?
"However, your Soul Power and age are still far behind true Geniuses," Su Ling said.
Bai Chenxiang said, "That naturally can't compare to you, Brother Su Ling. But what counts as a Genius? How big is the gap exactly?"
Su Ling said, "As for the gap, generally speaking, if you can reach level forty or above at your age, you can barely be considered a Genius."
"Level forty or above?" Bai Chenxiang exclaimed. "Then I still have a long way to go!"
In the original work, when Bai Chenxiang first appeared, she was a Spirit Ancestor, about the same age as Ma Hongjun.
Calculating by the timeline, in three or four years, Bai Chenxiang would definitely be a Spirit Ancestor.
"Then let me help you. Just now, I discussed it with your grandfather, Clan Chief Bai. I will give you this medicinal herb to consume, which can help you reach level forty in a short time."
After saying this, Su Ling took out the eight-petal immortal orchid from the System.
"Eating this will allow me to reach level forty?" Bai Chenxiang asked, looking puzzled.
Su Ling nodded and said, "Of course."
"Brother Su Ling, that must be very precious," Bai Chenxiang said again.
"It is precious, but it is actually a transaction made with Clan Chief Bai. This is what you deserve," Su Ling said.
"A transaction?" "What transaction?" Bai Chenxiang asked, looking puzzled.
Su Ling said, "You don't need to know about that for now. Just focus on Cultivating your Soul Power."
The eight-petal immortal orchid helped Oscar increase his Soul Power by five levels; it should be enough to help Bai Chenxiang reach level forty. If not, I can just use a Medicinal Pill.
"Alright, then I will consume it," Bai Chenxiang said. At this moment, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.
Bai Chenxiang took the eight-petal immortal orchid from Su Ling's hand and asked, "Brother Su Ling, how do I eat this?"
Su Ling said, "Just eat it directly, then circulate your Soul Power and begin Cultivating."
"Okay!" Bai Chenxiang nodded and did as Su Ling said.
After she ate the eight-petal immortal orchid, Su Ling stood Guard on the side, wondering how much favorability this medicinal herb would earn him from Bai Chenxiang.
However, looking at her attitude, her favorability was quite easy to increase. As of now, Bai Chenxiang's favorability has reached 18 points.
Time passed slowly. Four hours later, night fell.
During these few hours, Bai He was a bit worried about Bai Chenxiang, so he stayed on Guard outside. After all, it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together.
In fact, during this time, he also felt some regret. He regretted letting Bai Chenxiang take the medicine so quickly.
What if this medicinal herb was one that drained potential to increase Soul Power, or had other negative effects on Bai Chenxiang? That would be a loss that outweighed the gain.
But it was already done, and it was too late for regrets. Of course, this was also because the temptation provided by Su Ling was great enough.
Although he had a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in his hand, he only felt it was precious and a rare medicinal treasure. He didn't know that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng could also be consumed directly, and the effects might even be better.
[Ding... Bai Chenxiang favorability +40, obtained white treasure chest * 19, yellow treasure chest * 4, purple treasure chest * 2]
Eighteen plus forty equals fifty-eight favorability points. Why is it still two points short?
At this moment, Bai Chenxiang felt her own Soul Power and was very excited. "Brother Su Ling, I... my Soul Power has really reached level forty." Bai Chenxiang immediately got up, wanting to excitedly get close to Su Ling.
But right at this moment, the door was pushed open, and Bai He walked straight in from outside.
"Xiangxiang, have you really reached level forty? Is there any other condition with your body?" Bai He asked.
Bai Chenxiang said, "Grandfather, my body feels better than ever, and I feel that my speed in circulating Soul Power while Cultivating has increased by a lot."
Looking at Bai Chenxiang's panel again, it had already changed. [Goddess: Bai Chenxiang] [Goddess Comprehensive Value: 95] [Binding Requirement: Favorability 60 or above] [Current Favorability: 58]
The Goddess Comprehensive Value had already reached 95 points; this was the most direct increase. Consuming the immortal herb was not only an increase in Soul Power but also an improvement in talent; her appearance had also changed, becoming even more beautiful than before.
"Level forty Soul Power! Not bad. Su Ling, this medicinal herb of yours must be especially precious," Bai He asked again.
"That's right, Brother Su Ling. This medicinal herb must be too precious. I... I don't know how to repay you," Bai Chenxiang said.
Su Ling smiled and said, "No need to repay me. This is a transaction with Clan Chief Bai."
"Xiangxiang, you go out first. I need to discuss something with Su Ling," Bai He said.
"Oh..." Bai Chenxiang could only walk out helplessly. But in her heart, she kept wondering what kind of transaction her grandfather had with Su Ling. What did their Speed Clan have that could compare in value to the medicinal herb Su Ling gave her?
Once curiosity is piqued, it is very difficult to eliminate, especially for a woman.
"Su Ling, thank you!" "This is for you! Actually, the value of the medicinal herb you gave to Xiangxiang is certainly not lower than mine, and you still gave me fifty thousand gold coins. It really is..."
Bai He wanted to say that he didn't need that much, or even to return some of the gold coins. But the words reached his lips and he didn't say them.
This time, apart from the gathering, he came to borrow some gold coins from Yang Wudi. Now, the entire clan of two hundred people was living very frugally. In another month or two, the Speed Clan wouldn't even have enough to put food on the table. Fifty thousand gold coins were just too important for the Speed Clan.
Su Ling said, "Clan Chief Bai, you don't need to thank me. I just happened to need that medicinal herb of yours." "Hmm!" Bai He nodded.
[Ding... Bai Chenxiang favorability +3, obtained white treasure chest * 1, yellow treasure chest * 1] Favorability is now 61.
[Ding... Bai Chenxiang favorability is greater than or equal to 60. Do you want to bind the Goddess?] "Bind!" Su Ling thought.
[Ding... Binding Goddess Bai Chenxiang successful!] [Bound Goddess: Bai Chenxiang] [Goddess Comprehensive Value: 95] [Favorability: 61 (Quite Favorable)] [Binding Effect: The host can obtain 10% of the bound Goddess's daily Cultivation effect without reducing the bound Goddess's Cultivation speed.]
[Binding Skill: Arrow Speed Bonus (Active skill, after use, it can increase the speed of arrows shot by the host by 20%)]
Arrow speed, the speed of arrows. This is another good skill that can be used.
In Late Stage battles, everyone's Soul Power growth speed will definitely increase, and increasing the speed of arrows will undoubtedly make them harder to dodge. One could even accelerate them after they are shot.
For example, when the arrow is about to arrive, if the opponent thinks they can dodge it, accelerating the arrow at that moment will definitely have an unexpected effect.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, Grandfather Yang sent someone over, saying that he wants to invite everyone to eat and drink tonight," Bai Chenxiang shouted from outside. "We'll be right over," Bai He replied.
"Su Ling, let's go over together." "Okay!" Su Ling said.
Yang Wudi was busy treating Su Xiaoxiao yesterday and didn't even drink a sip of alcohol, which left him very regretful. Fortunately, after the treatment, Su Xiaoxiao needed to recuperate for a few days before the next treatment could be performed. So, Yang Wudi could have a good drink tonight.
Walking over with Bai He, Bai Chenxiang followed alongside. During this time, Su Ling also noticed the change in Bai He. He was older, and his back previously looked a bit hunched, but today, having received fifty thousand gold coins, his back straightened up immediately.
Sure enough, money, regardless of the World or era, is something that allows people to stand tall. Bai He's state now was completely different from before.
At tonight's banquet, in addition to the upper echelons of the Breaking Clan, there were also elite members of the young generation of the Breaking Clan. Yang Qingyu sat next to Su Ling the whole time, introducing the people who came to toast Su Ling.
Until a youth from the Defense Clan came to Su Ling. Yang Qingyu said, "Brother Su Ling, this is Niu Bi, considered the number one person of the young generation in the Defense Clan."
"Hello, Brother Su. My name is Niu Bi. I have heard your story; it is truly impressive. I, Niu Bi, admire awesome people the most."
"This cup is to toast you!" After drinking it in one gulp, Niu Bi glanced at Yang Qingyu, then added, "I know I can't beat you, but I will not give up on Qingyu."
Niu Bi's eyes were firm, filled only with Yang Qingyu. But Yang Qingyu didn't think much of Niu Bi at all. After all, she didn't like this kind of big guy. Niu Bi was over two meters tall, and his weight was estimated to be nearly three hundred jin. He also had an extremely exaggerated physique of muscular build.
He was about the same age as Yang Qingyu, became a Spirit Ancestor a few months earlier than Yang Qingyu, and his talent was a bit better than Niu Gao's grandson. Hearing Niu Bi say this, Yang Qingyu was speechless, but she didn't pay him any mind.
Niu Bi found himself unwelcome and could only leave dejectedly. After all, there were several people behind him waiting to toast Su Ling.
The banquet lasted until the early morning hours, with wine jars everywhere. Each of these wine jars could hold at least thirty jin, and they drank around a dozen jars, with each person drinking at least six or seven jin on average. Of course, the alcohol content of this wine was not high; in the Blue Star of Su Ling's previous life, it would be at most around thirty degrees.
...
The three major clans did not stay at the Breaking Clan for too long, leaving with their people after about seven days.
During this period, the younger generation of each major clan also held an exchange competition, with the top three receiving rewards of five hundred gold coins, three hundred gold coins, and one hundred gold coins respectively.
This time, Yang Qingyu, having advanced to Spirit Ancestor, finally broke through Niu Bi's defense with her Destruction Spear and successfully defeated him. However, first place still belonged to Tai Long; after all, he had been following Su Ling for a long time, and his combat experience was much richer than the others.
Coupled with his advantage in Soul Power, Tai Long took first place, Yang Qingyu took second, and Niu Bi third. Only the Speed Clan missed out on the top three, though Bai Chenxiang, relying on her level forty Soul Power, managed to enter the top ten.
Bai Chenxiang's speed was truly fast, but unfortunately, her speed couldn't break through the defenses of the Defense Clan and Strength Clan at all. Her attacks had almost no effect when hitting their bodies. This also made Su Ling realize the attacks of the Speed Clan were truly weak.
Su Ling also took this opportunity to reorganize Bai Chenxiang's favorability to 81 points, raising her from "Quite Favorable" to the point of being in love with him. After helping Bai Chenxiang consume the immortal herb to improve, her favorability was even easier to increase.
In about three days, Su Ling just chatted with her and increased her favorability by 20 points without paying any price. At the same time, he also obtained five white treasure chests, six yellow treasure chests, five purple treasure chests, and one black treasure chest.
Ten days after the three major clans left, Su Ling found Yang Qingyu. In the last few days, Yang Qingyu's favorability had also increased to 76 points, and the 6 favorability points also brought Su Ling two yellow treasure chests and two purple treasure chests.
Therefore, Su Ling gave Yang Qingyu the narcissus jade bone, which was suitable for women to use. Su Ling naturally had to give her one of the two newly obtained medicinal herbs. As for Su Ran and Su Xiaoxiao, he would wait until they recovered.
After Yang Qingyu consumed the narcissus jade bone, her Soul Power skyrocketed from level forty-one to level forty-six, and at the same time, her Goddess Comprehensive Value reached 95 points. Her favorability increased from seventy-six to eighty-six, which also earned Su Ling two yellow treasure chests, four purple treasure chests, and two black treasure chests.
Eighty-six points meant she had fallen in love with Su Ling. At this point, it was time for Su Ling to leave the Breaking Clan. After all, Su Xiaoxiao's physical condition had shown significant results after three treatments, so there was no need to worry about any danger to her short-term lifespan.
That morning, Su Ling said goodbye to everyone. "Little Lingzi, don't be in such a hurry. It's fine if we recover a bit later. You must pay attention to safety and not fall into danger because of us," Su Ran said.
"Uncle Su Ling, same here! I am already much better. You must prioritize your own Cultivation and not waste too much time on me," Su Xiaoxiao also spoke up.
"Hmm!" Su Ling nodded. "You must take good care of your health. Next time I come, I must see you in a different state, okay?" "Okay!" Su Ran and Su Xiaoxiao nodded at the same time.
"You don't need to see me off!" After saying this, Su Ling left the small courtyard where they were staying and left with Liu Erlong.
As for Yang Qingyu, Su Ling also said goodbye to her separately, and at the same time, Su Ling passed on the information about Yang Wushuang's suspicious nature to her, asking her to keep an eye on it!
Su Ling didn't tell Yang Wudi. After all, they were brothers; if Su Ling told him, it might have the opposite effect. Yang Qingyu was more trustworthy, so it was more appropriate to tell her.
After leaving the Breaking Clan, Su Ling and Liu Erlong did not travel too fast. They traveled during the day and rested at night.
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing an interaction with Liu Erlong, obtained black treasure chest * 1] ... [Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing an interaction with Liu Erlong, obtained red treasure chest * 1]
For several months, Su Ling hadn't obtained a single treasure chest from Liu Erlong, yet he had opened five red treasure chests at the Breaking Clan. Therefore, Su Ling did not miss any opportunity to obtain treasure chests on this journey.
It took thirty-one days to return from Xinglin City to Heaven Dou City, and he completed more than thirty-one interactions, but only obtained thirty-one treasure chests. There were twenty-one purple treasure chests, nine black treasure chests, and one red treasure chest.
On the System page, Su Ling's remaining unopened treasure chests were: white * 250, yellow * 76, purple * 81, black * 12, red * 1.
After arriving in Heaven Dou City, the two parted ways. Liu Erlong returned to Shrek Academy, while Su Ling returned to the Divine Arrow Marquis Mansion.
Looking at the mansion in front of him, which was still the same as before, Su Ling thought: "This time, it is time to take Jiang Zhu's first time! I wonder what kind of improvement it will bring to me and her."
"Originally, this plot segment was supposed to be a few thousand words long, but I feel that writing too much here doesn't make it very interesting to read, so the rest of this chapter will just be skipped over. Consider it speeding up the plot! The next chapter will start a new plot..."
