She and Xiao Wu obtained the body refining cultivation method at the same time. However, she stayed at the Spirit Ancestor realm for a slightly longer period than Xiao Wu.
During this time, through continuous cultivation, she happened to make up for the physical gap between support systemSpirit Masters and attack systemSpirit Masters.
Because of this, her fifth spirit ring's age limit was able to remain consistent with Xiao Wu's.
Medicine Hall.
When Yang Wudi learned of Xiao Tian's plan, his view was exactly the same as Dugu Bo's initial opinion.
In Yang Wudi's opinion, Xiao Tian was currently the strongest combat power of their Sect.
How could Xiao Tian personally attempt such a crucial experiment as condensing a spirit ring?
They could completely let the Sect disciples try it instead, and then just give them some more compensation.
Yang Wudi had this idea, on the one hand, from the perspective of the Sect's overall situation. Only if Xiao Tian had no accidents and became stronger, would their Sect develop better and better.
On the other hand, the disciples of the four halls all followed the extreme single attribute path, and missing such a spirit ring would not actually have much impact.
Furthermore, if some disciples with relatively lower strength were found to try, even if they failed in the end and did not condense a Qi and Blood spirit ring, due to their lower cultivation, they could recover after a period of rest with medicine.
Because of their low cultivation, if the experiment failed, the damage to themselves would not be that great. As for the consequences if Xiao Tian failed, Yang Wudi did not dare to imagine.
This was not because Yang Wudi was inherently cold-hearted. After all, he had now become a member of the Sect and held the position of Hall Master of the Medicine Hall, his status only below the (Vice) Sect Master and Elder, already belonging to the high-level figures of the Sect.
Because of this, he had to consider the Sect comprehensively.
However, after Dugu Bo's persuasion, he also knew that Xiao Tian was indeed very stubborn at times.
So, he finally chose to trust Xiao Tian.
After all, with Xiao Tian, it seemed anything was possible.
Thus, he immediately issued an order, gathering all the core disciples of the Medicine Hall, striving to refine enough Qi and Blood medicinal liquid and Qi and Blood Pills before noon tomorrow.
He planned to have Xiao Tian take these medicinal liquids and pills into the mysterious space before he entered. According to his estimation, it was highly possible for Xiao Tian to increase his spirit power by four levels after staying in the mysterious space for a year.
For other Spirit Emperors, increasing spirit power by one level in three months might sound like a joke. But for Xiao Tian, this was not an impossible feat.
Moreover, the mysterious space could also accelerate cultivation, so he might very well directly condense his seventh spirit ring inside.
And on this night, time quietly flowed by.
Xiao Tian indeed did not go to find Xiao Wu or Rongrong. This was because he needed to make full preparations for entering the Spirit Time House the next day, meticulously planning every detail in his mind.
"Come in." Just then, Xiao Tian keenly sensed a familiar aura outside, so he spoke lightly.
The next moment, Xiao Tian's door was slowly opened, and the person who walked in was Bai He.
Xiao Tian's gaze fell on Bai He, and he couldn't help but make some guesses about his arrival. Then, he asked, "ElderBai He, is there something urgent for you to come find me so late?"
Bai He was not surprised that Xiao Tian could sense his arrival, after all, Xiao Tian was a sword cultivator. He walked forward with a smile, but when he looked at Xiao Tian, his expression still seemed a little unnatural.
"Sect Master, I came tonight, actually, I want to ask you for something..." Bai He's tone was very solemn, and his address to Xiao Tian also changed to Sect Master.
Xiao Tian probably guessed his intention and secretly smiled in his heart.
It just so happened that he hadn't found a suitable reason to take the Immortal Herb from Bai He's hand, and now wasn't it a perfect opportunity?
This kind of thing would definitely require Bai He to take the initiative. If Bai He took the initiative, perhaps he would give something in return out of consideration for Bai He, but he would feel uncomfortable in his heart, because this situation would be as if he was forcing others, which was definitely not the situation he hoped to see.
The main reason was that the combined effect of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Yearning Heartbroken Red could bring an extremely huge improvement to Xiao Wu.
Currently, Xiao Wu was at level fifty. If she took this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, it would not only make her physical body stronger but was also estimated to increase her spirit power by about five levels.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary Immortal Herbs could not bring such a large increase in spirit power to a Spirit King, but when the remaining medicinal effects of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Yearning Heartbroken Red were combined, this effect could be achieved.
Xiao Tian looked at Bai He calmly and said, "ElderBai He, I have already said that you can just call me by my name privately, there's no need to formally address me as Sect Master."
However, Bai He shook his head and replied, "No, this matter is crucial, and I do have a bit of selfish desire. I hope the Sect can agree to my request."
Xiao Tian said, "Then tell me the specific situation first."
Bai He spoke very sincerely, "Sect Master, I hope you can arrange for my granddaughter to enter that mysterious space for one day. The current situation on the continent is turbulent, and I hope she can grow up as quickly as possible."
"ElderBai He, are you referring to Bai Chenxiang? May I ask what her current spirit power level is?" Xiao Tian asked calmly.
Xiao Tian remembered that Bai Chenxiang seemed to be about three years younger than Tang San, which meant Bai Chenxiang was currently around eleven years old.
In the original work, when Bai Chenxiang appeared, she was already a level forty-five Spirit Ancestor. At that time, Tang San was around thirty-nine years old, and Bai Chenxiang, converted, would be around sixteen years old.
To be honest, Bai Chenxiang's talent was already fully comparable to the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall.
She even had one level higher spirit power than Shui Bing'er when she participated in the Soul Master Competition at sixteen.
Bai Chenxiang's Spirit, Needle Tailed Swift, followed a pure agility path. Because of this, she might not seem that powerful, which led people to overlook her own talent.
With such talent, she could only obtain a Yellow-grade First Test in the Sea God Island Seven Sacred Pillar Trials, and the assessment task was actually to kiss Ma Hongjun for the duration of an incense stick, which was truly full of malicious fun.
At that time, the relationship between Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun was far from reaching that level; it was merely at the stage where Ma Hongjun was pursuing Bai Chenxiang.
It was only later, when Ma Hongjun's Spirit evolved and he burned off all his fat to become handsome, that Bai Chenxiang would even consider him, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have looked at Ma Hongjun, that Fatty.
Although Ma Hongjun was exceptionally talented, Bai Chenxiang's own talent was actually not bad, it was just that her comparison object was not quite appropriate.
Bai Chenxiang herself was a beautiful young girl, and there was indeed no reason for her to be fond of a Fatty who was not handsome and a bit lewd.
One particularly important point was that the Speed Clan's life was extremely difficult back then. Let alone simulated cultivation environments, the other three clans might have had them, but the Speed Clan definitely did not.
Even under such circumstances, Bai Chenxiang could possess a spirit power level of forty-five!
This not only required strong talent but also extremely firm willpower.
(This shouldn't be considered praising Bai Chenxiang too much, right? Forty-five at sixteen, compared to the Golden Generation Five Elements and those people, it's pretty good, isn't it?)
After careful consideration, Xiao Tian believed that in terms of cultivation, Bai Chenxiang could almost be said to be a replica of Zhu Zhuqing, right?
In fact, even if Bai He didn't come to him, he would still be willing to cultivate Bai Chenxiang. As Bai He's granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang not only had strength but would also inevitably take over Bai He's position in the future and replace Bai He in commanding the Shu Mountain Sword Array.
Moreover, once his spirit power reached the Spirit Saint level, he would gain another two hundred thousand points, which would significantly increase the number of times he could open the Spirit Time House.
It would be no problem at all to allocate a few days to Bai Chenxiang to help her improve her strength.
And Bai He, seeing Xiao Tian deep in thought for a long time, also steeled his heart, took out a box from his body, and handed it to Xiao Tian.
After opening the box, a blood-colored ginseng lay quietly inside.
Xiao Tian feigned a look of shock and said, "This... this is Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"
Xiao Tian looked at Bai He with a more serious expression: "ElderBai He, how could your Speed Clan possess such a precious Immortal Herb?"
Bai He smiled: "This was passed down from our ancestors. I didn't know what specific use this Immortal Herb had before, and I didn't dare to just give it to my granddaughter. I thought about asking Old goat, but I was afraid that medicine fanatic would just take my Immortal Herb, so I let it be."
"I thought, with your insight, Sect Master, you might know the use of Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. Would it be possible to exchange it for my granddaughter to cultivate in the mysterious space for one day? What do you think?"
After Bai He finished speaking, he saw Xiao Tian shake his head, and his face immediately stiffened. Could it be that it wouldn't work? Bai He's mood suddenly became a bit despondent.
Xiao Tian knew Bai He misunderstood, so he explained, "ElderBai He, actually, even if you didn't say anything, I would have let Bai Chenxiang go in later anyway. After all, I think her talent is indeed good, and she will inherit your mantle in the future. This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is indeed too valuable."
Bai He, being a shrewd person, could tell that Xiao Tian was interested in this Immortal Herb. Although his heart ached a little, getting Xiao Tian's reply also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
His granddaughter going in for one day, and coming out as a Spirit Elder, or even faster, becoming a Spirit Ancestor not long after, would be a good thing for him!
"Hehe, Xiao Tian, what kind of talk is that? Since I've brought this out, there's no reason to take it back. If it's useful for your strength improvement, then this can be considered my contribution to the Sect." Bai He very smoothly changed his address back.
Xiao Tian smiled and shook his head, accepting the Immortal Herb as a matter of course, but he wouldn't take it for nothing; that wasn't his character.
"Don't worry, ElderBai He, I won't treat you unfairly either. Since I've taken your Immortal Herb, I will also cultivate Bai Chenxiang more for you, just as I proposed before, let her take the agility attack route. Now her first two Spirit abilities both increase speed, which I think is very good."
What Xiao Tian meant by changing to the agility attack route was not to abandon speed amplification for attack in some spirit rings, but to prioritize speed. If there was an attack while amplifying speed, then good, if not, then so be it. Speed was the first priority.
As for the lack of attack power, it could be completely replaced by weapons, after all, Spirit Masters were not always in competitions where weapons were prohibited.
Moreover, Bai Chenxiang was still young, so he could impart some ideas for self-created Spirit abilities and let her try them out herself.
Not to mention much, similar to Feng Xiaotian's wind blade attack, condensing hand blades, wouldn't it be easier for Bai Chenxiang, with her genuine bird Spirit, than for a Storm Devil Wolf?
Seeing Xiao Tian say this, Bai He was also delighted and chuckled, "Then thank you, Xiao Tian."
But then, Xiao Tian's expression turned serious, and he looked at Bai He with a half-smile, saying, "ElderBai He, there's something I want to tell you as a friend. I hope you won't mind after hearing it."
Bai He looked at the serious Xiao Tian, slightly stunned, and tentatively asked, "What is it?"
Xiao Tian was so serious that his heart couldn't help but pound a little.
Xiao Tian sighed and said, "ElderBai He, logically speaking, having received your Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng tonight, I shouldn't be saying this to you. But I'm just like this; if I keep something bottled up, it will affect my cultivation. I'm very happy to receive your Immortal Herb, but have you thought about ElderYang Wudi?"
"Ah?" Bai He was still a bit confused and asked, "What does this have to do with Old goat?"
Xiao Tian continued, "ElderBai He, when your Speed Clan was in decline, wasn't it the Breaking Clan that provided you with the most assistance? Yet you were afraid that this Immortal Herb would be taken by ElderYang Wudi, and you were unwilling to ask him about its use, even harboring such suspicions about him in your heart. Tell me, if ElderYang Wudi knew, wouldn't he feel a bit disheartened?
You two have known each other for a long time. Shouldn't you know what kind of person ElderYang Wudi is better than I do? Does he seem like someone who would do such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Bai He finally understood why Xiao Tian was so serious and why he asked him not to mind. In Xiao Tian's view, wasn't this a lack of trust in his long-time friend?
Honestly speaking, Old goat had indeed helped him a lot over the years. He really shouldn't have thought of him that way. Even if Old goat showed some interest when he brought it out, given their long-standing relationship, it wasn't impossible to give him a little bit of this Immortal Herb.
Yes, if Yang Wudi wanted it, it wasn't like he had to give the whole plant. With his personality, giving him a portion would probably make him happy for a long time.
Moreover, with Old goat's temperament, if he knew the importance of the Immortal Herb, he shouldn't have tricked him. In an instant, Bai He felt a deep sense of guilt.
Seeing Bai He's expression, Xiao Tian patted his back and smiled, "ElderBai He, let this matter pass. Only you and I know about this; no third person will. You can secretly help him a bit more within your capabilities." Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow at Bai He.
