Chapter 98: Prescription, Martial Arts Breakthrough

Meow~

Babala, who had turned into Xiao Bai, completely forgot what had just happened.

After curiously glancing at Lu Xun, it voluntarily jumped onto Lu Xun's hand, rubbing its little head against his hand.

It was being coquettish.

Thus, Lu Xun placed his hand on its body and gently stroked Xiao Bai's milky-white little head.

Xiao Bai soon fell asleep.

Other cats are nocturnal, but Xiao Bai's habit is like a human's: active during the day, asleep at night.

"No, Babala didn't just turn into human form just now; she also didn't fall back asleep... That twitching means it's not just a single curse!"

While Lu Xun gently stroked Xiao Bai, he pondered.

Babala's threefold curse: one is the Transformation Spell, another is the Sleep Curse.

Originally, after approaching Lu Xun, she had a few minutes each month to break free of the Sleep Curse and wake up.

But when awake, she remained in cat form.

This shows the Transformation Spell is still effective.

But just now, Babala not only turned back into human form, she also woke up.

This indicates that both curses just failed.

Just like last time.

It was just that last time happened to be her monthly awake period, so Lu Xun didn't think much of it.

"So, my spell-breaking technique affected both of her curses; in that case, that witch probably wouldn't notice, right?"

Lu Xun thought.

He felt it probably wouldn't.

After thinking it over, Lu Xun wasn't overly worried.

He was at Beidou University; even if that witch knew Xiao Bai's and his location, would she dare to act here?

Even if the witch were strong, this is Eastern turf; it's not her place to cause trouble.

However, sorcerers who practice black magic often have some sinister means, such as curses.

Better safe than sorry.

If possible, avoid exposure; try not to expose yourself.

Otherwise, even if they don't dare come to Beidou University, Lu Xun can't stay holed up here forever.

"Sleep."

Lu Xun continued to sleep.

However, perhaps it's due to the influence of Babala's recent transformation, combined with Lu Xun being at the age of vigorous youth.

This sleep, he didn't rest very peacefully.

He kept having dreams, sometimes dreaming of Murong Wan, sometimes of Chu Youqing, sometimes of Babala.

"This kid... where did he go?"

The next day, when Lu Xun tried to contact Li Buffan, Li Buffan didn't answer the phone.

I don't know what he's up to.

As longtime close friends, Lu Xun prepared to give Li Buffan a Saint-grade Qi-replenishing Pill so he could boost his cultivation before the Secret Realm Examination.

The Secret Realm Examination was still more than ten days away, so Lu Xun wasn't in a hurry.

He sent a message to Li Buffan; this kid should contact him after seeing it.

"Have you heard? Several Western Magic Academies have sent out Magic Inspection Teams, preparing to participate in our Secret Realm Examination this time."

"Real or fake, why would Westerners come to join the fun in our Secret Realm Examination?"

"A few years ago on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, didn't our strong fighters also clash with Westerners?"

That day, a piece of news spread across the campus.

This time's Secret Realm Examination includes not only Eastern students, but also students from the Western Magic Academy.

"Xun Ge, I've only heard about it too; I don't know the specific details."

"Xun Ge, with your strength, the championship of the first-year class is definitely yours."

"Xun Ge, can I team up with you? Together we'll definitely dominate; I'll handle the 'gaga' and you'll handle the 'luan sha'~"

After hearing this, Lu Xun went to inquire further, and ended up being surrounded by a group of students.

After Lu Xun broke through to the Third Realm, his name echoed throughout Beidou University.

He was held up by the first-year students as Beidou University's most monstrous genius of all time.

No one knows how many first-year students regard Lu Xun as an idol, nor how many first-year female students see him as their dream lover.

In the High Martial Era, a man's greatest charm is his formidable strength.

If, in addition to great strength, he also possesses stunning looks, to women it is an absolute killer.

"Junior, want to add me on V?"

Not only first-year female students, but some second- and third-year senior girls, upon seeing Lu Xun, if they had any confidence in their looks, couldn't help but go up to flirt or say a few lines.

"These lowlifes, however enthusiastic they are now, will be just as ruthless later; Lu Xun, you'd better pray you never run into trouble."

This scene happened to be seen by He Xiao, making him extremely jealous.

Even as a core descendant of the He Clan, he never received such treatment.

Even if the He Clan is a great family, students who can get into Qingbei still tend to be somewhat aloof and proud.

Women who cling to He Xiao aren't nonexistent, but those of high quality are few.

On Lu Xun's side, however, those who actively approach him to flirt are all of quite high quality.

Well, might as well just lie flat in the dorm.

Lu Xun could hardly bear it.

These senior schoolmates were overly enthusiastic, each practically wanting to devour him.

Despite that, Lu Xun has a school-belle-level girlfriend like Chu Youqing, and has even tasted a peerless beauty like Murong Wan.

As for these ordinary schoolmates, he really isn't interested.

"She should be giving it her all to break through to the Third Realm, right?"

Murong Wan has been quiet these past two days; she must be attempting to break through to the Third Realm.

【Chu Youqing's Fireball Technique broke through to the second tier, you gain thirty times Chu Youqing's harvest.】

On Chu Youqing's side, there's been movement; her Fireball Technique broke through another level.

After the return, Lu Xun's Fireball Technique didn't change into something else; instead it rose four levels, reaching level ten.

Level-ten Fireball Technique!

In Lan Xing's history, there probably hasn't been one yet, right?

Even if an Immortal Cultivator, bored enough to obsess over Fireball Technique, reaching level ten isn't that easy.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Over these two days, all the schools have become lively.

Because a Western magic delegation has arrived, exchanging and visiting at various schools in the capital.

They haven't yet reached Northern Dipper University.

On Lu Xun's side, he occasionally goes to Qingbei Jie to guide Bai Ling in alchemy.

He himself is also pondering more potent pills.

Lu Xun is currently a fourth-grade sage-tier alchemist, but that doesn't mean he can refine all fourth-grade pills.

For some pills, it's not a matter of whether they can be refined.

But rather whether you have the recipe and the raw materials.

Even if you have the raw materials, without the recipe it's hard to produce them.

Unless you have enough raw materials to experiment.

The recipe, that is, the formula.

Currently the pills Lu Xun refines are common; Bai Ling has the recipes for them.

For some rare pills, not to mention the materials, obtaining the recipe itself is not easy.

Such pills tend to be extraordinarily expensive.

For example, the pill that Murong Zhan needs, which can restore the dantian.

So expensive that even Murong Zhan, a fourth-realm grandmaster, can't afford it.

"The Pill Canon?"

"Yeah, the Jia Clan Group has a Pill Canon that records many pill recipes; they don't allow it to be leaked, so boss, tell me which you need and I'll write it down for you."

Bai Ling gave Lu Xun an unexpected surprise.

She memorized the Jia Clan Group's Pill Canon.

"Bai Ling, is there a pill that can restore the dantian of a fourth-realm grandmaster?"

Lu Xun's eyes lit up as he asked.

He wants to refine a pill for Murong Zhan.

Doing so naturally aims to help Murong Wan.

「Pill for repairing the dantian... Boss, there is, there is a kind of pill called the Heaven-Reversing Creation Pill that can repair the dantian, I'll write the formula for you. 」

「Great! Thank you, Bai Ling. 」

「Boss, you're too polite. 」

Soon, Lu Xun obtained the formula.

「No wonder Murong Zhan can't afford it... 」

As soon as he saw the formula, Lu Xun understood why Murong Zhan couldn't afford it.

Inside are several kinds of spiritual herbs, only found on the Starry Ancient Road; each stalk costs tens to hundreds of thousands of units of Dark Energy.

It's not hard to imagine how expensive the resulting pill is.

Moreover, such pills are often difficult to refine; failures are common, loss is high, and the cost is even higher.

Lu Xun decided to give it a try.

【Murong Wan broke through the Aperture-Passing Realm, you gain thirty times Murong Wan's harvest.】

Before he even started trying, Murong Wan's return arrived.

She broke through the Third Realm.

The returning heat flow entered her body, heading toward Lu Xun's eyes.

「Hum~」

Under the impact of this heat flow, Lu Xun's first eye aperture opened.

His martial arts cultivation had officially entered the Third Realm.
