Chapter 51

As for how to observe Nami's current age,

this is actually quite simple!

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse,

Li Xiao naturally does not understand traditional Chinese medicine,

but he has some talent for this "looking"!

After all,

the place where Nami hides the Devil Fruit,

its development requires time...

Li Xiao was not even a die-hard One Piece fan in his past life,

so he is not very clear on details like the year,

but this is irrelevant,

Li Xiao only needs to know roughly which time period he is currently in!

I digressed,

back to the ship.

Since boarding the ship,

Li Xiao had immediately ducked into the room Garp had prepared for him.

Earlier when checking in at Cocoyasi Village,

besides the Mountain and Sea Sword Technique and the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower,

the system also rewarded three Spirit-Condensing Pills.

Although compared to the former,

the value of the Spirit-Condensing Pills is undoubtedly much lower,

but for Li Xiao,

the effect of the Spirit-Condensing Pills to increase cultivation speed after ingestion is irreplaceable!

No matter how strong the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower is,

it is ultimately external force!

And the Mountain and Sea Sword Technique is merely a means of attack,

its actual power,

in the final analysis, still depends on one's own cultivation base!

Under any circumstances,

Li Xiao deeply understands one point,

only cultivation base truly belongs to oneself,

and is the foundation of everything!

Therefore,

taking advantage of the journey to Windmill Village,

Li Xiao prepared to use these three Spirit-Condensing Pills,

to cultivate well!

As early as when leaving that isolated island with Nami,

Li Xiao's cultivation base at the Late Stage of Qi Transformation had already been quite stable,

these past two days he even vaguely felt a slight urge to breakthrough,

he must not be far from truly breaking through to the Peak of Qi Transformation!

After a day of sailing,

the warship finally arrived at Windmill Village!

Li Xiao walked out of the cabin with a spirited look,

after consuming all three Spirit-Condensing Pills,

his cultivation base had improved slightly again,

although he still had not broken through,

but that sudden feeling had become stronger!

Li Xiao stood on the deck,

looking at the peaceful and tranquil Windmill Village,

his heart could not help but feel a bit excited!

Finally,

he can check in again!

Checking in at Cocoyasi Village even yielded a defensive treasure like the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower,

so Windmill Village should not be bad either, right?

As the ship docked,

Garp leaped down first,

Li Xiao followed closely behind.

Just stepping onto the shore,

Li Xiao could not wait】⑨⑦

⑤⑥@②

⑧】⑧④①! Ready to clock in!

However,

before he could take any action,

Karp grabbed Li Xiao's shoulder!

"Let's go, let's go, Li Xiao kid, this old man will treat you to drinks!"

As Karp spoke,

he dragged Li Xiao forcibly toward the tavern inside Windmill Village.

Helpless,

Li Xiao could only temporarily abandon the idea of clocking in,

and followed Karp into the tavern.

Just as they entered the tavern,

Karp shouted toward the bar:

"Makino, bring this old man two bottles of wine!"

Makino, standing behind the bar, looked up toward the sound,

and upon recognizing Karp,

a smile naturally spread across her face.

Immediately, while taking wine from the cabinet behind her,

she smiled and greeted Karp.

"Ah, Mr. Karp is back!"

Karp pulled Li Xiao to sit at the bar,

and replied:

"Yes, I took two days off to come back and rest, and to see everyone!"

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you; this is Li Xiao, a new friend I've made!"

Makino opened the two bottles of wine and placed them in front of Li Xiao and Karp respectively,

and smiled at Li Xiao while greeting him:

"Hello, my name is Makino, I am the owner of this tavern!"

Li Xiao took the cup Makino handed him,

and smiled in response:

"Thank you, just call me Li Xiao!"
