97: Marrow Cleansing Pill, Bai Muxue's condition worsens?

From the system's prompts, it was evident that both rewards were elixirs from the Cultivator system.

“Marrow Cleansing Pill…” Chen Tianming casually summoned an elixir into his hand.

The elixir was grayish-white with nine patterns.

Under the system's guidance, Chen Tianming learned that an elixir's quality could be judged by the number of pattern rings on it, with nine rings indicating the highest quality.

“As expected of a system product!”

Chen Tianming sighed in his heart, released Bai Muning, got up, and casually put the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth.

Soon, a sensation of ten thousand ants gnawing at his bones emerged from Chen Tianming’s body; the tingling and itching made him tremble slightly, and cold sweat poured down him!

However, fortunately, this sensation did not last long; after about ten seconds, white-yellow impurities seeped from his body.

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Chen Tianming looked in the mirror.

“My appearance hasn't changed much, but my body clearly feels much lighter.” After a moment of sensing, Chen Tianming made a judgment in his heart.

He couldn't feel anything more specific, as he hadn't started cultivating yet; he could only vaguely perceive that his talent in certain aspects seemed to have improved significantly.

Putting aside his thoughts, a joyful emotion flashed through Chen Tianming's heart!

With the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he was one step closer to the immortality pursued by Cultivators!

With this thought, Chen Tianming embraced the freshly cleaned Bai Muning again, sharing his joy with her generously…

Later…

Chen Tianming gave one Marrow Cleansing Pill to Bai Muning and briefly explained its effects.

Then he casually asked, “How is your sister doing recently?”

Although Bai Muxue had not yet been captured.

However, Chen Tianming had long regarded this Female Lead as his possession!

Bai Muxue's cultivation had not been smooth before, and now that he happened to meet her sister, he casually asked.

Bai Muning couldn't help but purse her lips when she heard this, saying, “My sister's cultivation is ridiculously slow; she hasn't even become a Martial Artist yet…”

Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting Bai Muxue's progress to be even slower than he had imagined…

“Is it still due to her physical condition?” Chen Tianming reached out and stroked his chin, a hint of solemnity flashing across his expression.

His deduction could not be wrong; the only variable was naturally that Bai Muxue's physical condition had accelerated its decline.

“Fortunately, I now have the Marrow Cleansing Pill, which should have some effect on Bai Muxue’s physical issues.”

“Once I obtain a cultivation technique, I can let her cultivate two techniques simultaneously, which should also provide relief.”

“Once her cultivation reaches a certain realm, it will completely cure her condition!”

Chen Tianming made a reasonable inference and formed a plan in his mind.

This was like a math problem from childhood: Bai Muxue's current situation was like a pool with water being drained from one side and added from the other.

He had to cure her before the rate of adding water was less than the rate of draining, otherwise, the situation would only worsen.

Bai Muning, who was beside him, watched Chen Tianming in silent contemplation, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered, “You wouldn't have fallen for my sister, would you?”

Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Muning, who had a sly expression beside him.

Now that both favorability levels were maxed out, Chen Tianming had few reservations and didn't bother to hide anything, retorting, “How did you know?”

Bai Muning showed a look of 'I knew it,' snorted, and said, “A woman's intuition!”

“But, I will help you.”

This statement surprised Chen Tianming a bit! This wasn't Bai Muning's usual persona!

The effect of favorability hadn't reached the point where the target would say things that violated their persona.

Chen Tianming couldn't help but smile and say, “Aren't you afraid that when your sister comes, you'll be neglected?”

Bai Muning, however, said seriously, “Tianming Ge is not that kind of person!”

“And… and, I also want to serve husband with my sister…”

After saying that, her face turned red!

It seemed as if she had revealed some deep secret from her heart; Chen Tianming clearly felt Bai Muning’s waist go limp.

Good heavens!

Chen Tianming exclaimed, “Good heavens!”

Even he was shocked now!

This internet-addicted girl usually didn't show anything.

She looked shy in front of people, but he never expected such a bold side hidden within her!

Just thinking about that scenario, Chen Tianming couldn't help but feel a surge of evil desire!

Fortunately… he had just released it, so he could still endure.

…

After leaving the room.

Chen Tianming drove towards Lost Bar, intending to check on Yan Yu's progress in integrating the two gangs.

Upon arriving at the bar, Chen Tianming quickly scanned the area and noticed many unfamiliar faces compared to last time, evidently new members absorbed from the Black Tiger Gang.

“It seems the progress is quite good.” Chen Tianming nodded secretly and walked in.

It was evening, and there were quite a few people in the bar.

Chen Tianming found a booth, ordered a fruit platter and a glass of water, and observed while drinking.

Soon, he noticed that although there were many people in the bar, and they were all swaying freely, they clearly maintained a bottom line; after watching for a long time, there wasn't even a single troublemaker.

Moreover, no one in the bar was secretly engaging in illicit transactions…

Clearly, Yan Yu, this underworld Female Lead, had established a series of rules.

Chen Tianming became even more satisfied.

As expected of the Female Lead, her capabilities were quite outstanding.

After looking around, just as he was about to leave, Chen Tianming suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him, locking onto him firmly!

He subtly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure!

“Grace?” Chen Tianming’s eyebrows twitched slightly; he abandoned his original intention to leave, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he hadn't noticed her, and continued to sit there, directing his gaze towards the center of the dance floor.

At this moment, as Grace walked into the bar, many people's eyes immediately lit up!

“A beauty from West Continent? That's rare!”

“No one fight me for her this time! I’ll show you my flirting skills! I’ll win her over in three minutes!”

“Come on, Brother Wang, last time you had a drink thrown in your face and couldn't even wear your clothes, and you're still trying?”

“Hahaha! I say it has to be me; none of you can do it!”

“Tsk…”

“…”

Most people who come to bars, especially those who find this one, are not proper individuals; upon seeing Grace, they didn't even bother to hide it, spewing lewd jokes.

They looked eager to try!

But just as they were about to go up and chat her up, Grace suddenly turned her delicate body and walked towards a corner…

…
