The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Bai Xiaotong leaned over the bed, stretched out her hand to open the bedside table, and took out a Jade Box from inside.

"Here, this is for you." Bai Xiaotong tossed the Jade Box to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately opened the Jade Box.

Inside were eight Medicine Pills.

Tang Rao was first stunned, then furious.

Who am I! Who made these pills!

Are you freaking brain-dead? Is this how you refine Spiritual Medicine? What a waste! An absolute waste!

With Tang Rao's alchemy skills, a simple sniff was all it took to determine the ingredients of the Elixir Pills.

It contained top-notch materials, yet they had been so carelessly wasted.

If conditions allowed, Tang Rao could use these materials to refine second-grade Qi Replenishing Pills.

Do you know what second-grade Qi Replenishing Pills mean? It means two thousand units of Spiritual Energy! Nearly seven hundred Old Ginseng Pills!

But now what? These pills could at best increase one's Spiritual Energy by a hundred units.

Eight pills meant eight hundred units of Spiritual Energy, altogether not even half as good as a half of a second-grade Qi Replenishing Pill.

"You little rascal, you're really benefiting here. This is something I, your little auntie, have treasured. Each one can increase ten units of qi to your Qi Mansion. Even I can't bear to use them, and now I'm giving them to you," Bai Xiaotong said with a pout, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Tang Rao was dumbfounded, each pill increases ten units of qi?

Wasn't it a hundred units of qi?

"Humph, scared silly, huh, boy? Your old ginsengs, a hundred of them are worth just one of these," Bai Xiaotong saw Tang Rao's dazed look and couldn't help feeling proud.

A hundred old ginsengs for ten units of qi?

Even if chewed, one old ginseng could increase one unit of Spiritual Energy, a hundred would be a hundred units of Spiritual Energy.

But soon Tang Rao figured it out. He cultivated Gathering Spirit, while Bai Xiaotong and the others used the Breathing Technique. Although both methods could condense Spiritual Energy, the effects differed by tenfold.

"Little auntie, where did you get these things from?" Tang Rao asked with a grin.

"You still think this isn't enough? Let me tell you, you can only take one per month, or else your Qi Mansion will burst and you'll be wasted!" Bai Xiaotong gave Tang Rao a look of disgust, thinking the boy really was insatiable.

"I get it, little auntie. I'm just planning for the future. These Elixir Pills will eventually run out, and I have to take responsibility for my future. Just tell me, where did these come from?" Tang Rao began to act cute.

With such a good-looking face, it would be a waste not to act cute.

Tang Rao always believed that good looks were part of his strength.

Even in the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, this truth still held.

Surely, under his charmingly handsome tactics, little auntie would satisfy his demands.

"You dead eunuch, you're actually acting cute!" Bai Xiaotong scolded with an exclamation, pointing at Tang Rao.

Tang Rao blinked twice, his face turning black.

"Little auntie, it's said not to hit the face. You bring up my scars every day, that's too much!" Tang Rao didn't expect Bai Xiaotong would react like this. My face, it's so handsome, okay!

"Am I saying something that's not a fact? You boy, your 'eggs' are all broken!"

Tang Rao: "..."

"Forget it, it's not really a secret anyway. In our land of Yan Kingdom, where there are cultivators, naturally, there are various hidden Sects. These Elixir Pills were my severance pay after being rejected by the Sect!" Bai Xiaotong said with an air of annoyance.

In the Bai Family, among those families in Tiandu, she, Bai Xiaotong, was considered to have exceptional talent as well.

But... she couldn't even meet the minimum requirements of those hidden Sects.

When it came to this, it was always a thorn in Bai Xiaotong's heart.

"A hidden Sect?" Tang Rao was actually hearing this concept for the first time.

Seems like the cultivation world on Blue Star isn't as simple as I thought.

"You don't need to know about this for now. Off you go, I'm going to get dressed. What, you want to stay and watch your aunt change? You dead eunuch, believe it or not, I'll tell your mom!" Bai Xiaotong glared as she spoke.

While talking, she went to pull at her shoulder strap.

"I'm going, don't get excited!" Tang Rao immediately sprang up, shouting as he dashed out of the room.

Damn it, these people of Blue Star are really scary.

Always serving up tough dishes, so frightening.

"Xiao Rao?" Right after coming out from Bai Xiaotong's room, Bai Yushu happened to be at the door.

"Why were you in your aunt's room?" Bai Yushu seemed a bit surprised.

"Here, my aunt gave me this." Tang Rao pointed to the Jade Box in his hand, "It's a great thing to supplement the Qi Mansion spiritual energy, your sister is a straightforward person."

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Bai Yushu couldn't help but smile.

"You rascal, remember your aunt's kindness." Bai Yushu tapped Tang Rao's forehead as he spoke.

"Got it." Tang Rao replied, and to be honest, he was really touched.

These eight elixir pills were Bai Xiaotong's treasures, yet she gave them all to him in one go.

In the future, when he refines better Spiritual Medicines, he'll feed some to his aunt, Tang Rao thought to himself.

As for the Gathering Spirit technique, Tang Rao now can't offer it to Bai Xiaotong. The Gathering Spirit method is different from the Breathing Technique, and stacking up cultivation could likely backfire.

"Alright, I've had Mrs. Chen put your formal clothes in your room; don't forget to go to the hotel tonight for your grandfather's birthday celebration," Bai Yushu said.

"Got it, got it." Tang Rao said as he ran towards his own room.

He was already quite eager. These eight elixir pills could increase at least eight hundred units of spiritual energy.

Adding to the original five hundred units, that would be thirteen hundred units of spiritual energy, and he wasn't sure if that would be enough to completely fill the Dantian.

...

As evening approached, Tang Rao had a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He had already gathered one thousand units of spiritual energy in his Dantian, and he still had three elixir pills left, but he felt that even an additional three hundred units wouldn't be enough to fully saturate his Dantian.

"Damn it, just how much spiritual energy do I need?" Tang Rao was somewhat helpless. A thousand units of energy couldn't even fully saturate the Dantian, that was ten times the requirement for Gathering Spirit.

"I need to find a way to re-refine these elixir pills," Tang Rao looked at the remaining pills in his hand and didn't continue to consume them.

Given the right conditions, he could enhance the effects of these pills by threefold.

One providing three hundred units of spiritual energy, three would be about a thousand units.

If two thousand units of spiritual energy can't fully saturate the Dantian, then I've really been played for a fool.

"Five o'clock, huh... I'll make a phone call," Tang Rao glanced at the time, then fished out his phone.

He dialed Jiang Langyue's number.

After the ringback tone played for a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Tang Rao? What else do you want?" Jiang Langyue's voice came through the receiver, sounding somewhat irritated.

"Nothing really, just called to chat, Xiao Yue, did you miss me?" Tang Rao asked with a chuckle.

"Miss my ass! Crazy!" Jiang Langyue cursed and then slammed the phone down.

Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders, smirking as he kept the phone to his ear.

"Little rascal, catch your breath," Tang Rao yelled.

He had copied Jiang Langyue's number on his phone, so surely he would receive the call too.

"Hehe, hello Tang Rao," a man's voice came through the phone.
