Chapter 37 Bigu Pill
During Xu Xiaoxiao's cultivation journey, the first and second year of junior high school played important roles.
When Xu Xiaoxiao just started cultivating and the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather, Chu Er would skillfully use his own spiritual power to guide the external spiritual energy into the room in a more orderly manner, providing Xu Xiaoxiao with a more abundant and pure spiritual energy environment.
While maintaining the defensive formation, it silently cast minor spells, allowing spiritual energy to flow slowly towards Xu Xiaoxiao like a gentle stream, thinking to itself, "With more spiritual energy, Master can cultivate faster and better."
In the first year of junior high school, one must be constantly vigilant about any movement around them.
Once, a spirit bird, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, chirped incessantly outside the window. Fearing that the noise would disturb Xu Xiaoxiao's cultivation, it quietly moved over, brandished its wooden sword, and emitted a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy to drive the spirit bird away.
It would also observe Xu Xiaoxiao's condition from time to time. When it saw a trace of pain on Xu Xiaoxiao's face, it was so nervous that it almost cried out. However, it quickly calmed down and prepared to deal with any emergencies. It secretly vowed in its heart: "If anything dares to hurt my master, I will fight it to the death."
When Xu Xiaoxiao finished her cultivation, she slowly opened her eyes and saw how loyally Chu Yi and Chu Er were protecting her. Her heart was filled with emotion and relief.
She got up and walked to Chu Yi, gently stroking its head, and took out a crystal-clear spirit crystal that emitted a soft light from her storage ring.
She found the spirit crystal by chance on her way here. Although it was not extremely precious, it was a rare nourishing substance for the puppet.
Xu Xiaoxiao handed the spirit crystal to Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, you worked hard protecting the Dharma this time. This spirit crystal is a reward for you. I hope it will help you improve your spiritual power."
Chu Yi's eyes lit up instantly. He took the spirit crystal and said happily, "Thank you for the gift, Master. I will definitely protect you even more diligently."
Then, Xu Xiaoxiao turned to the second-year junior high school student and took out a delicate spirit feather.
This spirit feather was a gift from her second senior brother, Mu Zhusheng, who saw her curiosity when she visited the alchemy room. It had a certain amount of spiritual energy fluctuations. Xu Xiaoxiao put the spirit feather in Chu Er's hair and said gently, "Chu Er, you used up a lot of spiritual energy to set up the formation, so this spirit feather is yours. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."
Chu Er excitedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master. With this spirit feather, I can serve you even better."
Seeing their joyful expressions, Xu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly. She knew that Chu Yi and Chu Er would be important companions on her path of cultivation.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from her stomach. Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her stomach awkwardly. She had eaten several spiritual fruits and cultivated for a while today, so it was no wonder that she was hungry so quickly.
Chu Yi and Chu Er looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and said, "Master hasn't started fasting yet, so it's normal to be hungry. Since Chongyang Peak hasn't cooked for a long time and there are no ingredients, would Master like to take a fasting pill first?"
"Bigu Pills, let me see if my second senior brother gave me a few bottles today." Xu Xiaoxiao took out a bottle labeled Bigu Pills from her storage ring, curiously took one and put it in her mouth. It had no taste and melted in her mouth, and she instantly felt full.
"It's amazing! No wonder my senior brothers and sisters have such great figures. This is comparable to a diet pill!"
Although I'm not hungry anymore, it feels like something's missing. I feel listless and keep wanting to eat something.
"Knock knock knock, is Xiaoxiao asleep?"
After finishing his business with the sect leader, Li Changchun noticed it was getting late and went to the outer disciples' canteen to get some food, guessing that his two disciples would surely forget that Xiaoxiao hadn't yet practiced fasting and needed to eat.
"Master is back!" Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to open the door.
"Look what your master brought you," Li Changchun said, taking out the food box.
"Master, you're so kind! How did you know I was hungry?" Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw the food box.
Xu Xiaoxiao eagerly opened the food box, and saw several exquisite side dishes inside. There were bright green stir-fried vegetables, which gave off a fresh aroma; there was also a plate of braised pork with an enticing color, the skin glistening and trembling as if telling its deliciousness; next to it was a bowl of steaming white rice, each grain plump and full.
Xu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, thinking how thoughtful her master was. She said, "Master, this braised pork looks delicious. My mouth is watering."
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's greedy expression, Li Changchun smiled and said, "You little rascal, I knew you'd be hungry. This braised pork is the cafeteria chef's specialty, I got it especially for you. And these vegetables are also very nutritious and have been carefully grown with abundant spiritual energy."
Xu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. The meat spread a wonderful flavor on her tongue. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction and said indistinctly, "Master, this is simply a delicacy. It tastes better than anything I've ever eaten before."
"Master, the fasting pills don't taste good at all. Can I eat at that cafeteria from now on?"
Seeing his youngest apprentice eating heartily, Li Changchun said, "You can go. That canteen is originally for disciples who haven't yet started fasting. Your two senior brothers started fasting when they first entered the sect, so it's not surprising that they didn't think you needed to eat today."
It seems the sect is quite humane. Suddenly, I wondered how I would get there if I went by myself. "Master, how do I get there by myself?"
"Let your senior brother get you some food, they're free anyway," Li Changchun said matter-of-factly, pushing his two disciples forward.
I have to trouble my senior brothers to get me meals every day, which is too much trouble for them and will also delay their cultivation. In that case, I might as well just fast.
"Master, I want to go by myself. I don't want to affect my fellow disciples' cultivation because of such a trivial matter." Xu Xiaoxiao firmly disagreed.
Li Changchun had no choice but to say, "Then tomorrow I'll have your senior brother give you a flying artifact, so it will be more convenient for you."
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Thank you, Master. With this flying artifact, I can go to the cafeteria by myself!"
Her heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the flying artifact, imagining herself riding it through the sky to the cafeteria to choose delicious food.
Chu Yi, standing to the side, said with some concern, "Master, you've only just begun your cultivation. Isn't it dangerous to control a flying magical artifact? Why don't Chu Er and I go with you to get it?"
Xu Xiaoxiao gently patted Chu Yi's shoulder and comforted him, "Chu Yi, don't worry, I'll be careful. With the magic weapon, I can gain more experience."
Chu Er chimed in, "Master is right, but Master should first learn the control method from Senior Brother."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, already planning in her mind what she would do first after obtaining the flying artifact tomorrow.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's determined and excited appearance, Li Changchun smiled and instructed, "Xiaoxiao, although the magic artifact is good, you must not be greedy for playing with it. You must focus on cultivation. Although the food in the canteen is delicious, you must not overeat it. Don't let it interfere with your important cultivation."
Xu Xiaoxiao obediently replied, "Master, I understand. I will manage my time well and balance cultivation with my daily life."
At night, Xu Xiaoxiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was filled with images of the delicious braised pork and the flying magic weapon. She looked forward to being able to travel freely between sects the next day, but also secretly reminded herself not to slack off in her cultivation. She gradually drifted off to sleep amidst her conflicting emotions and excitement.
