Chapter Ninety-Four Direct Acquisition

  The white-robed alchemist furrowed his brow, and after scanning the surroundings, he knew that he was doomed today. He suddenly felt a pang in his heart, then slowly pulled out over ten bottles of elixirs with an extremely reluctant expression and handed them to Su Ming: "You shouldn't want these, right?"

  "Master, thank you so much. In the future, if there's anything that needs to be done by your disciple, just let me know. As long as it doesn't go against my principles as a person, I'll definitely do my best to accomplish it for you." Su Ming said with a sincere expression.

  After getting Su Ming's promise, Bai Yao Shi felt a bit better, although he lost more than 100 Dan medicines, but in the future, there would be warriors to test the medicine, and he could develop the four-product Dan method with an open mind. Once he succeeded in developing it, his status in Xicheng Prefecture would be greatly enhanced.

  If he could successfully develop the Four-Product Spirit Pill, he might become a Purple Mansion Realm existence. At that time, there would be hope for him to become a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, which was the realm he had always yearned for in his life. Once he became a Fifth-Rank Alchemist, he would be able to go to the Tang Clan's main city as the Chief Alchemist, and at that time, his status would surpass that of the West City Governor.

  Bai Yi thought of these things, and his heart felt much more balanced. His facial expression also looked a lot more natural. After chatting with Su Ming for a while, he left with the master of the house and Tang Xinyi.

  As he watched Tang Xinyi's back, Su Ming suddenly realized that he hadn't thanked her yet. He knew that if it wasn't for Tang Xinyi finding the white medicine master for him, and if it wasn't for the white medicine master's fourth-grade Condensing Spirit Pill, he wouldn't know when he would wake up.

  After this battle, Su Ming knew that the two skills, Magic Heart and Bloodlust, could not be used recklessly, nor could they be used for a long time. This was because these two skills did not consume spiritual energy, but rather mental strength. Fortunately, he possessed the innate skill, Intent of Thought, although it had not been successfully cultivated, his mental strength was still stronger than that of ordinary people, so he could maintain the use of the two skills.

  This time, Su Ming can be said to have really walked a circle outside the Yama Temple, and he was very close to death. If it weren't for Zhou Changlao's trembling hands due to fright, giving him ten elixirs to stabilize his breath, Su Ming would likely have died from excessive blood loss.

  Su Ming was already severely injured when he clashed head-on with Fan Le, his internal organs were displaced, and all the bones in his body were broken. If it were an ordinary warrior, they would have lost their combat effectiveness long ago. It was only because of Su Ming's special physique, combined with his state of demonic heart, that he knew only to continue attacking, without regard for his own injuries, that he could continue fighting.

  After Fang Lei broke through successfully, Su Ming used the Bloodthirsty State skill with all his heart to win, causing him to bleed profusely and suffer internal injuries. He was severely injured and fell to the ground. If an ordinary warrior had such injuries, even if he was rescued, he would be a useless person.

  Su Ming recovered from his injuries miraculously under the effect of over a hundred Healing Pellets.

  Su Ming's way of healing his injuries was like that of a powerful warrior, dispersing the medicinal properties of the dan medicine and continuously applying them to his wounds until he recovered. In this process, not a single thread of medicinal properties was wasted, nor did they harm Su Ming's body.

  Su Ming's luck had turned for the better, and under the effects of the Fourth Grade Soul Nurturing Pill, his will successfully entered the fourth layer, causing his Sea of Knowledge to expand and his spiritual power to become extremely abundant. This inadvertently boosted his combat strength as well.

  The intention of meditation is to cultivate spiritual power, and the use of spiritual power is very large. For example, long battles will consume spiritual power, locking onto enemies with attacks also consumes spiritual power, and scouting out the surroundings also consumes spiritual power. At the same time, alchemists and blacksmiths also greatly consume spiritual power when refining medicine and equipment. Therefore, the innate skill "Intention of Meditation" is more powerful than "Power of Will" and "Control of Intention", but it is also more difficult to cultivate.

  If not for the innate skill of Nian Zhi Yi, to enhance one's spiritual power, one must constantly elevate their realm. The spiritual power of a Xiantian realm warrior is equivalent to the first and second layers of Nian Zhi Yi, while that of a Tianling realm warrior is equivalent to the third and fourth layers of Nian Zhi Yi. A warrior with Nian Zhi Yi can cultivate it to the second layer at the Fanxin realm, which is equivalent to the spiritual power of a Xiantian realm warrior who has achieved perfection.

  When Su Ming reached the later stage of the Innate Realm, he successfully entered the fourth layer with his will. His spiritual power then surpassed that of a Heaven Spirit Realm cultivator who had achieved mastery in martial arts. As a result, his actual strength was invisibly enhanced.

  The master of the Lingdian Temple handed Su Ming and others over to Fan Li, then left. When he left, his eyes showed a hint of unwillingness and helplessness.

  Fan Li treated Su Ming's group of ten with great courtesy due to Su Ming's reputation, and arranged for them to reside in the Spiritual Temple. He also took them on a tour to familiarize themselves with the surroundings of the lower Spiritual Temple, and informed them which areas they were not allowed to enter casually.

  After settling everyone down, Fan Li took Su Ming to the stone house where the Ling Dian team was training and told him the real reason why Bai Yao Shi had taken him as his apprentice.

  He thought that Su Ming would regret it, and as long as Su Ming regretted it, he would definitely go to the master of the house and ask him to take Su Ming back from Bai Yao Shi. But unexpectedly, Su Ming did not regret it, instead telling him that since he had made a choice, he would not go back on his word.

  Su Ming's persistence made Fan Li appreciate him even more, and promised Su Ming that if he had anything in the future, he would find him directly, and as long as it was something he could do, he would not frown at all.

  Having obtained the promise of Manchu, Su Ming no longer worried about his days in Xicheng Prefecture. With the master of the Medicine Hall as his teacher and the first warrior of the Spiritual Hall as his brother, who would dare to bully him in Xicheng Prefecture? Unfortunately, he was wrong, and getting involved with these two brought him great trouble.

  His name soon spread throughout Xicheng Prefecture, and rumors about him were rampant, with all sorts of things being said. For a time, he became a household name in Xicheng Prefecture.

  Su Ming was extremely depressed about this matter. He had just arrived in Xicheng Prefecture for a short time, and yet he had already caused such a great impact. Originally, he still wanted to travel around Xicheng Prefecture, but now he could only hide in the Spiritual Temple and didn't dare to go out. This was because half of the warriors in Xicheng Prefecture wanted to see him, and dozens of them even wanted to challenge him.

  It's not his fault that the news spread so quickly, after all, he got involved with the three most famous people in Xicheng Prefecture, and even became a disciple of the Medicine Temple Master, defeating the unbeatable Pianli of the Innate Realm, and making the number one beauty of Xicheng Prefecture come out to plead for mercy.

  Any one of these three things would have been enough to make a big splash in the Western Capital, but he had all three, and on top of that, he had a devilishly handsome face, making it impossible for him not to be famous.

  It wasn't until the Lord of Xicheng Prefecture personally intervened that the matter was finally brought under control, and Su Ming no longer had to hide in the stone house of the Ling Temple, afraid to come out. However, he became a household name throughout Xicheng Prefecture.

  After the longest rest, the day of competition for the top ten places between the Death Squad and the Lingdian Squad finally arrived. Due to Su Ming's abnormal strength, he did not participate in the competition and directly obtained a place.
