Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

88: Chapter 88 Half-Step Celestial”Huh? Hey! I was trying to help you out of kindness, is that any way to talk?”

Su Xuan was a bit unhappy, but seeing Dongfang Bai’s flustered, womanly look of shame and anger, he just waved his hand. ”Fine, I’ll go! You just sit here by yourself then. When the heat flare-up returns and you suffer Qi Deviation, don’t blame me!”

Su Xuan got down from the bed and headed towards the door.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to casually store the medicinal herb chest on the floor into his system space.

The series of actions was too fast. From Su Xuan getting off the bed to walking out of the room, only a few breaths had passed.

It was so fast that Dongfang Bai didn’t even have time to react.

It wasn’t until a thin, cold draft suddenly blew in from outside the door that Dongfang Bai snapped out of her shock.

Dongfang Bai rubbed her eyes and glanced again at the spot where the chest had been, muttering in surprise, ”This little lecher is truly a freak!”

As the words left her mouth, Dongfang Bai felt a twinge of regret.

Was what she just said too harsh?!

According to Sister Lin, this little guy is only eighteen, still a little brother...

Sigh~ I’d better find a chance to apologize tomorrow...

Su Xuan, however, didn’t dwell on it. The moment he walked out of the room, he put the matter behind him.

As he walked, Su Xuan suddenly stopped.

Now that I have the herbs, I might as well drink the wine first, then go find Long’er.

Having made up his mind, Su Xuan found an empty room at random and slipped inside.

Su Xuan counted them; there were thirty-one hundred-year-old medicinal herbs in total.

Not a lot, but not too little either.

Su Xuan wasn’t disappointed. Dongfang Bai said there would be more later...

Su Xuan gathered his focus and, with practiced ease, mentally commanded, ”Brew.”

As the word fell, the herbs within the system space slowly dissipated.

At the same time, a stream of wine suddenly surged into the air.

Su Xuan picked up the purple gold jade gourd he had prepared earlier and uncorked it.

The wine then slowly poured into the gourd, like a reverse waterfall drawn by a dragon’s breath.

A full nine gourds of medium-grade wine!!

Sniffing the lingering aroma of wine in the air, Su Xuan swallowed his saliva.

He lifted the wine gourd and began drinking in large gulps.

”Gulp~” ”Gulp~” ”Gulp~” ”...”

As the wine entered his stomach, a stream of Internal Energy gradually welled up within Su Xuan’s body.

It spread from his neck to the Meridians throughout his body, finally flowing slowly into his Dantian.

Simultaneously, a heavenly melody sounded in Su Xuan’s ears.

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.9 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.8 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.5 years!]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.7 years!]

[Ding...]

[Ding, Internal Energy increased by 1.8 years!]

[Ding, congratulations, Host has achieved a Breakthrough to Half-Step Celestial Being!]

As the System’s notification tones fell, a profound and mysterious Aura suddenly surged from Su Xuan’s body.

Su Xuan frowned slightly, then immediately sat cross-legged on the floor.

With a flip of his large hand, the Internal Energy within his body gradually began to circulate, slowly spreading throughout his body before finally swirling around him.

Unlike usual, what surrounded Su Xuan this time wasn’t just Internal Energy, but also a profound and mysterious Qi...

It bore some resemblance to the Qi he felt when his swordsmanship broke through back at the Sword Tomb.

As Su Xuan’s Cultivation Technique circulated, the Internal Energy slowly withdrew back into his Dantian.

That mysterious Qi also dissipated along with it.

Su Xuan opened his eyes, which now gleamed with vitality. Feeling the changes within his body, he grew excited.

Could this be the Celestial power Precious Master mentioned?!

No wonder, even with Internal Energy far exceeding ten times that of an ordinary person, he couldn’t reliably defeat his Master.

Besides the increase in Internal Energy, Su Xuan felt a qualitative change in the energy within his body.

It was as if his previous Internal Energy was an egg, and now it was a rock.

If just Half-Step Celestial Being brought such a change, then what about the Heavenly Human Realm...

Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel anticipation.

Now, Su Xuan was confident he could defeat his former self within ten moves.

Precious Master definitely wouldn’t be a match for him anymore either...

As he thought this, the corner of Su Xuan’s mouth lifted slightly.

He then stood up, opened the door, and walked in the direction of Little Dragon Girl’s room.

He walked, and walked...

Alright, he was lost...

Dongfang Bai’s main hall was just too big...

And there wasn’t a single person around...

Such a huge house, and only Dongfang Bai lives here by herself?! No wonder it’s so cold!

Su Xuan thought for a moment, then gathered his focus. He was just about to use his Lightness Skill to get to a higher vantage point and look around.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.

Was that... Dongfang Bai?!

Looking more closely, it really was!

Under a pavilion not far away, Dongfang Bai seemed to sense something. She turned and looked over, exclaiming in surprise, ”Little Su?”

Su Xuan’s eyes flickered. Perfect timing to ask her for directions. He immediately took a step into the air and flew towards Dongfang Bai.

Seeing Su Xuan coming towards her, Dongfang Bai hurriedly put away a small pouch, brushed the longing from her face, and smiled, ”Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Landing on the pavilion, Su Xuan casually picked up a piece of pastry from the table and took a bite. ”You’re not asleep either, are you?”

Dongfang Bai gave a shallow smile, offering no rebuttal. Suddenly remembering something, a flicker of apology passed through her eyes. ”That... Little Su...”

”Hmm?”

”I’m sorry about earlier! I spoke too harshly. Don’t take it too much to heart...”

Before Dongfang Bai could finish, Su Xuan waved his hand. ”I’m not that petty.”

Su Xuan finished the pastry and looked at Dongfang Bai, asking, ”By the way, I was just thinking...”

Halfway through his sentence, Su Xuan suddenly noticed Dongfang Bai’s eyes were slightly red and swollen. He paused, slightly surprised. ”You... were you just crying?”

”Nonsense!” Having her secret exposed by Su Xuan, Dongfang Bai’s pretty face flushed red. She stubbornly insisted, ”I am Invincible East! How could I possibly cry?! Could you please stop bringing up such childish topics?!”

Su Xuan chuckled but didn’t press the issue. He untied the purple gold jade gourd from his waist. ”Want a drink...”
