Hurriedly returning to the Qin Manor with Qín Mòwǔ, Bai Ze bid farewell to Qín Mòwǔ and quickly headed towards his room.
Qín Mòwǔ did not rush to cultivate. Instead, she walked slowly towards her room with her hands behind her back.
"Wow, Miss Mòwǔ, your bracelet is so pretty!"
A young girl's surprised exclamation came from the side.
Qín Mòwǔ turned her head and saw a young girl from the Qin Family staring at her left wrist with eyes shining.
Raising her hand to her eyes, Qín Mòwǔ looked at the silver bracelet coiled around her wrist, which sparkled under the sunlight.
The young girl approached Qín Mòwǔ and examined the silver bracelet on her wrist closely, praising it again.
"The patterns are so exquisite. It must have been very expensive, right? Hmm? The pattern on it is a phoenix? It suits you so perfectly, Miss Mòwǔ. Where did you buy this bracelet, Miss? I want to buy one too."
After telling the girl where she bought the bracelet, Qín Mòwǔ smiled inwardly as she watched the girl run directly towards that shop.
With a slight movement of her jade-like hand, the bracelet gently swayed, emitting a dazzling luster.
In Qín Mòwǔ's eyes, there was also a flash of brilliance.
This was the first time Bai Ze had given her something like this.
And, it was indeed very beautiful.
Thinking of this, Qín Mòwǔ's delicate face turned a little rosy. She gently patted her face and pulled herself together, walking briskly towards her destination.
Brother Bai Ze should be starting now.
...
Inside the room, Bai Ze took out the things he bought today from his pocket.
Besides the mysterious jade box he bought at the very beginning, there were also several third-tier Spirit Medicine.
Bai Ze bought these later, naturally spending the ten thousand Spirit Coins Zhao Xiāo had given him.
"It should be enough," Bai Ze muttered, looking at the items on the table. Without further thought, he stuffed all the Spirit Medicine into his mouth, chewed them vigorously a few times, and then swallowed them all.
The effects of these Spirit Medicine were indeed incomparable to the flashy and unconvincing Thunder Beast Meat. In just a few breaths, Bai Ze could feel liquid condensing on the surface of the Chaos Bead in his Dantian.
Seizing the momentum, Bai Ze ate another large bowl of Thunder Beast Meat, and then immediately sat cross-legged on the bed, refining the contents of his stomach with the help of the Chaos Bead.
Fifteen minutes passed, and Bai Ze already had ten drops of white liquid in his Dantian. Yesterday, Bai Ze had eaten so much, but in the end, only three drops of white liquid had condensed. On a normal day, the output would be at most one drop per day.
However, this terrifying condensation speed slowed down significantly after Bai Ze refined the Purple Spirit Grass. By the time he had refined everything in his stomach, the number of white liquid drops in his Dantian finally reached thirty.
And out of these thirty drops of white liquid, nearly twenty were obtained from refining the Purple Spirit Grass.
"Don't let me be tortured to death," Bai Ze took a deep breath and whispered. Then, with a determined heart, he merged all thirty drops of white liquid into his blood.
With thirty drops integrated, Bai Ze felt so comfortable that he could almost fly. Every part of his body was greatly relaxed. If he hadn't thought about the immense pain that was coming, Bai Ze would have wanted to lie on the bed right away and enjoy this blissful moment.
Beyond heaven lies hell.
As the physical agony pulsed into Bai Ze's brain with extremely high frequency, Bai Ze felt his soul being stripped from his body by this pain.
"Wuwu..." The excruciating pain caused Bai Ze to let out a whimper. His body convulsed due to the pain, and his cross-legged pose turned into a curled-up position. Bai Ze bit his lip tightly, trying not to make any sound.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong his will was, a low moan could still be faintly heard from between his teeth.
...
Bai Ze and Qín Mòwǔ's rooms were in a secluded courtyard. Coupled with the orders from the Patriarch of the Qin Family, hardly anyone would disturb them, except for the occasional servant who came in to sweep fallen leaves.
A servant, according to the daily routine, prepared to enter the courtyard to sweep the leaves but was stopped by another servant guarding the entrance.
"Miss Mòwǔ said that no one should enter this courtyard today unless she gives the order."
Upon hearing this, the servant who was about to sweep the leaves was naturally happy for the respite and turned to leave.
In Qín Mòwǔ's room, Qín Mòwǔ sat on a chair, her lips pursed. She gripped her bracelet tightly with one hand, her eyes slightly red.
...
Time passed, it was unclear how long.
When the scenery in the courtyard was uniformly covered with an orange-yellow camouflage, Bai Ze, who was sprawled on the bed in the room, finally regained some consciousness.
Feeling the slowly receding pain, a difficult smile appeared on Bai Ze's stiff face.
He hadn't expected that merging thirty drops of liquid at once would be so painful. During this half-day, Bai Ze had been brought to the brink of unconsciousness by the pain countless times, but he had forced himself to stay alert.
If he had fainted, the benefit would have been temporarily escaping the pain, but the drawback would have been that all the effort he had endured up to that point would be in vain, all the enhancements lost, and he would have to start all over again.
These were thirty drops of white liquid, and Bai Ze would never allow himself to waste them.
After lying motionless on the bed for another fifteen minutes, Bai Ze struggled to get up.
"Hahaha, I finally succeeded." Bai Ze couldn't help but exclaim as he felt the brand-new energy slowly flowing through his meridians.
With a thought, Bai Ze's consciousness merged into his body. He saw his beating heart, his circulating blood, the Chaos Bead in his Dantian, and everything else.
"Is this the power of Divine Sense?" His consciousness withdrawn, Bai Ze controlled his Divine Sense to spread outwards. Everything in the room surfaced in his mind at that instant.
Whether it was things in front of him or behind him, he didn't need to look; everything was imprinted in his mind.
However, he soon discovered its drawback: the things it detected were only approximate; it couldn't capture the details with great accuracy. His Mysterious Heaven Eye, on the other hand, required him to use his eyes, but it could clearly see every subtle detail before him.
Moreover, this Divine Sense could not penetrate thick objects, such as walls and floors.
Not rushing to show off to Qín Mòwǔ, Bai Ze sat cross-legged on the bed, patiently waiting for time to pass.
About fifteen minutes later, the air in front of Bai Ze suddenly rippled outwards, and then space tore open. An Old Man with white hair and beard emerged from it.
After the Old Man walked out of the torn space, the torn space closed again, and the ripples continued to expand, enveloping the entire room like a bubble.
From this moment on, unless someone's cultivation was higher than this Old Man's, no one could perceive anything inside this room without his permission.
"Bai Ze, long time no see," the Old Man said with a gentle shake of his head, looking at Bai Ze who was staring directly at him, and then chuckled.
Bai Ze snorted, then forced a very reluctant smile, stretching the corners of his mouth unnaturally.
"You can tell me now, right? About your origin, why you gave me the Chaos Bead, the Wasted Meridians in my body, and the Chaos Body Refining Formula. Why didn't you tell me back then how painful cultivating this thing would be?
If you leave like last time without explaining clearly, don't blame me for falling out with you next time."
