Chapter 31: Linxin''s gift
After Linxin told him about her Constitution, Bai Long who read so many novels understood that his time to stay beside her was very limited.
Because who knew how much patience the elder who found out about Linxin had.
Once they came to forcefully take Linxin away, Bai Long would bepletely powerless and have no way to stop it. Therefore, there was only way left for Bai Long.
And that was, to grow strong
However, the problem was that Linxin said she had less than a year before the time she asked to stay away from the Sect was over.
Therefore, it was obviously impossible for Bai Long who was at the peak of Martial Grand Master Realm to be strong enough topletely suppress the Yin Plundering Sect.
Thus, the only other option Bai Long had was to try and grow as much as possible and obtain enough strength and techniques to secretly infiltrate the Yin Plundering Sect and then take it down from the inside.
To do this, Bai Long realized that he needed to enter the ranks of a Qi cultivator, since only then would he be able to use the techniques needed toplete this n of his.
With a clear immediate goal in his mind, Bai Long began pushing himself even harder every day.
After all, if a viin suffered any setbacks, regardless of how great he would be, he could never truly be considered a superviin.
...
Since the moment he decided to work harder, Bai Long didn''t hold anything back as he trained his body every single minute of the day other than during the nights.
But, after Bai Long entered the Martial Grand Master Realm a single Drink of Devils followed by exercising wasn''t enough to obtain a breakthrough.
Instead, the number of times Bai Long needed to consume the Drink of Devils multiplied with every breakthrough he achieved.
And therefore, Bai Long spent a whole day just to enter the Martial Soldier Realm.
This was because Bai Long needed a total of eight Drink of Devils, to sessfully breakthrough the Martial Grand Master Realm and enter the Martial Soldier Realm.
The reason for this, was because due to not achieving constant breakthroughs, Bai Long''s body was unable to obtain the refreshing replenishment obtained from the breakthroughs.
Due to this, Bai Long needed to rest for a considerable amount of time after exhausting himself before he was ready to consume the next Drink of Devils and continue training.
After that day, Bai Long who was addicted to the feeling of breakthroughs was not only unable to enjoy the taste of multiple breakthroughs every day, but he could not even enjoy a breakthrough every day!
In fact, it took Bai Long three days to enter the Second Stage of Martial Soldier Realm, and eight more days to reach the Third Stage of Martial Soldier Realm.
Like this, Bai Long now began seeing cultivation as something which was only hard and tiresome, and provided very less returns.
However, he still craved for those little returns, because with every breakthrough Bai Long could feel how much stronger he was bing.
And honestly, this sensation of growing stronger was very addicting to Bai Long who transmigrated from Earth.
After all, right now Bai Long was able to break stones with his bare hand, and his skin waspletely unharmed even when normal weapons were used against him!
Thus, even though it was bing harder to grow stronger by the day, Bai Long maintained a great amount of determination and continued to push himself to the limits every day.
...
"Huff.... Third Stage... Huffff..... Third Stage of Martial General Realm!!!"
Lying on the floor Bai Long had his clenched fist punching the air from satisfaction that even though it took him a whole month to breakthrough one sub realm, it was all worth it.
Thinking that he was halfway close to his goal, after just spending four months, Bai Long was thinking about what he should do about the most difficult cultivation realm, the Martial King Realm, when Linxin came and sent the maids away.
Having decided to take over the Bai Kingdom, and use it as a step to achieve their true goal, Bai Long and Linxin no longer put up any fronts or cared about what the others thought of them.
Due to this, Bai Long was now living with Yu Yan in the same courtyard.
"Congrattions! You''ve grown faster than I expected."
"Just words won''t do... Haa... I need something more... "
Smiling from having expected such a response, Linxin said, "I already have something prepared for you."
Grinning widely from anticipation, Bai Long stood up on his legs which were wobbling and begging for rest, since the feeling of breakthrough wasn''t enough topletely make up for the hardships it went through.
Ignoring his pleading limbs, Bai Long said, "I hope its something good..."
"Of course it is."
Lending Bai Long an arm to support him, Linxin took him with to a room deep inside the courtyard, which he had never been to before.
"Your gift is inside the room. Feel free to use it however you want."
Saying so Linxin opened the door and moved away from Bai Long showing that she had no intention of apanying him inside.
Feeling even more curious, Bai Long who could now properly walk due to Linxin who used her Constitution to heal him to a certain extent, stepped inside and saw what could be considered as the best gift of his life.
Inside the room was a beautiful woman whose whole body was wrapped in beautiful and bright silk ribbons, leaving only her face from above the lips visible.
Seeing the woman''s face Bai Long unconsciously blurted out, "Cao Ning!"
