Chapter 92: Is Feng Xiaotian a Lickspittle?

~8 min read 1,474 words

"Holy Master, then what are the conditions for exchanging for these?" Huo Yan couldn't help but ask.

Since it was so effective, her two children, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, must each have one as well.

Lingxu said: "Naturally, it is by using sect contribution points, and it must be consumed on the spot after the exchange."

Consuming it on the spot was actually to prevent it from spreading outside, thereby leaking the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.

"Low-grade Lingxue Pills do not need to be exchanged; just join the sect and consume one. As for the Superior Lingxue Pills, they require five thousand contribution points each, and as for this Top-grade Lingxue Pill, it is ten thousand contribution points."

"One sect contribution point is equal to ten Gold Soul Coins!"

"Additionally, each person can only exchange for one of these two types of pills; you cannot exchange for more."

There weren't many Lingxue Pills to begin with, and if everyone exchanged for too many, Lingxu wouldn't be able to refine more without the medicinal materials, so he added a restriction.

Refined from three ten-thousand-year medicinal materials, ten thousand Gold Soul Coins is truly not expensive.

Moreover, each one consumed is one less, and now only two hundred and five remain.

However, it takes decades for these medicinal materials in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to grow to ten thousand years.

Therefore, one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for one is truly not expensive.

There are more Superior Lingxue Pills, five hundred and sixty-one of them!

Of course, if one were to purchase these medicinal materials, it is not impossible to buy them; although ten-thousand-year medicinal materials are precious, they are not as unreachable as Immortal Grade Herbs.

If one wants to buy them, they can still be purchased on the continent.

Upon hearing it cost one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, Shui Qingfeng looked at Lingxu with some embarrassment and whispered: "Then what about the one Yue'er just had?"

Right now, he couldn't take out one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins even if he had to.

Lingxu said: "It's fine, that one counts as compensation for you all."

"And for you others, you voluntarily gave up the previous benefits from your teachers and were willing to be the same as everyone else, so each family will be subsidized with one Top-grade Lingxue Pill."

"However, it is best for children to consume this Top-grade Lingxue Pill, as that is the only way to have a better effect in enhancing their talent."

While it is said to enhance talent, it cannot entirely be considered an enhancement; the effect of the Lingxue Pill is more about pushing one's own talent to the limit, with the actual increase being quite small.

But it gives people the feeling that it has enhanced their talent.

It has a tremendous effect on incorrectly mutated martial souls; if this thing were given to Yu Xiaogang to consume, this guy might really be able to trigger the Golden Sacred Dragon.

But could he obtain it?

Regarding the Lingxue Pills, Lingxu has already strictly controlled them.

Only by joining the Lingxue Sacred Land can one possess them, and furthermore, they must be consumed on the spot; whoever consumes one must be registered, as ensuring the Lingxue Pills do not leak out is the foundation of the Lingxue Sacred Land.

Upon hearing that they would receive Top-grade Lingxue Pills, the few immediately bowed and thanked Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

As for the two Spirit Masters who joined with them, the improvement from the Top-grade Lingxue Pill would not be significant, so Lingxu guaranteed them that in the future, their children could enjoy one Top-grade Lingxue Pill.

And now in the small courtyard, Xue Wu has one, Feng Xiaotian has one, and since Shui Yue'er consumed a Top-grade Lingxue Pill, naturally Shui Bing'er does not have one.

Besides Shui Bing'er not having one, between Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, there is also only one Top-grade Lingxue Pill.

The two siblings looked at each other, and Huo Wushuang said: "You use it, little sister."

"No!" Huo Wu shook her head and said: "You use it, brother. Didn't the Holy Master say the earlier one consumes it, the better? I can still wait."

The two siblings began to defer to each other. Huo Yan was very satisfied watching these two siblings, so she did not intend to intervene and let them decide the distribution themselves.

But what Huo Wu said made a lot of sense, and Huo Wushuang seemed to have no reason to refuse, so he said: "Alright then, little sister, don't worry. When you reach my age, I will definitely exchange for one for you."

"Good, that's a promise, brother, you must work hard," Huo Wushuang said.

And just at this moment, Feng Xiaotian walked up to Huo Wu with a fawning look and said: "Little sister Huo Wu, why don't you consume mine."

"I have Innate Full Spirit Power, my talent is already at the limit, so it probably won't be of much use if I eat it," Feng Xiaotian said.

Feng Ming wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Feng Xiaotian had already handed over his own Top-grade Lingxue Pill.

Seeing this, Lingxu couldn't help but want to laugh no matter how he looked at it.

However, is Feng Xiaotian a "lickspittle" or what?

But whether he is or not depends on how one defines a "lickspittle."

To like someone and pursue them—in Lingxu's view, in the world of his past life, as long as you weren't a rich second generation or handsome, most others had the potential to be a "lickspittle."

If you can succeed in your pursuit and the two of you fall in love, then this actually doesn't count as being a "lickspittle."

But if you cannot succeed and continue to "lick" anyway, then that is undoubtedly a "lickspittle."

Therefore, in the Douluo novel, Feng Xiaotian suffered the bitterness of being a "lickspittle" in the early stages, but finally tasted the sweetness after the bitterness in the end.

Facing Feng Xiaotian's Top-grade Lingxue Pill, the temptation for Huo Wu was truly great.

After all, deep down, Huo Wu was quite competitive; previously at Chihuo Academy with her mother, her talent was almost unmatched by anyone.

So Huo Wu was also very proud, but upon arriving here, her pride seemed to be just so-so, very ordinary.

Huo Wu hesitated and said: "Do you really not need it?"

Feng Xiaotian patted his chest and said: "Of course I don't need it. With Innate Full Spirit Power, what do I have to fear? Even without it, I can still progress quickly."

Huo Wu smiled, nodded, and said: "Alright then, but consider it as me borrowing it from you; I will definitely pay you back."

At this point, Lingxu decided to add fuel to the fire; if it succeeded, it could be considered helping them.

Although she was young and Huo Wu might not understand what it was, the younger they were, the easier they were to fool.

"Actually, Innate Full Spirit Power is not the limit. This Top-grade Lingxue Pill is still of great use to you, Feng Xiaotian. Are you sure you want to give it to Huo Wu?" Lingxu said.

However, Feng Xiaotian's expression did not change, and he said: "Holy Master, I have already decided; this Top-grade Lingxue Pill will go to Huo Wu."

"I..." Huo Wu was truly moved at this moment.

For two reasons: the first is that Feng Xiaotian still wanted to give it to her even after knowing the effect of the Top-grade Lingxue Pill.

The second is that she is truly young; if this were in the original work, ten-plus years later, she probably wouldn't be this moved.

At this moment, Huo Wu's feelings for Feng Xiaotian improved significantly.

Seeing Huo Wu hesitate, Feng Xiaotian immediately reminded her: "What are you still hesitating for? Huo Wu, just take it."

Huo Wu almost shed tears of gratitude and said: "Brother Xiaotian, thank you."

The change in address, this "Brother Xiaotian," made Feng Xiaotian incredibly excited.

"Mm! Little Sister Huo Wu," Feng Xiaotian said.

As Feng Ming's father, he truly could not bear to watch; he wondered if he himself had been like this back in the day.

Lingxu said: "Since the distribution is complete, then take them now!"

"Yes, Holy Master."

Qian Renxue had not interfered with Lingxu's approach here the whole time, nor had she suggested giving one away, which made Lingxu very gratified.

Although these few little ones had been following behind Qian Renxue, the rules of the Shengdi had already been established, so things had to be carried out according to the rules.

Furthermore, even if one were to give them away, this was not the time for it.
