Chapter 62: Full of Vitality

Over eighty thousand Bei Dong Zhi!

Just the process of refining those two Jin Zhao Huo Zhong had already contributed more than forty thousand Bei Dong Zhi to him.

Xu Xiaoshou was utterly amazed. If it weren't for the fact that keeping those things inside his body was far too dangerous and incredibly painful, he might have actually considered letting himself be burned for days and nights...

But he wasn't some masochist... well, a receiver... um...

In any case, he could handle pretending to get beaten up by forty or fifty people while actually enjoying it like a body massage. But something like leaving a ticking time bomb inside him, not knowing when it would explode...

Just thinking about it was enough.

In practice, he'd rather pass!

Xu Xiaoshou cherished his life dearly. Coming back to his senses, he casually exchanged for fifty Bei Dong keys.

That's right, exactly fifty!

Adding the two keys left over from his previous draw, that made a total of fifty-two Bei Dong keys.

Xu Xiaoshou grinned foolishly, feeling incredibly full of himself...

Not long ago, he had been so cautious about exchanging for just a few Bei Dong keys. Who would have thought he'd grown to the point where he could do a fifty-in-a-row draw?

All that hard work moving bricks was for this very moment!

As for why he still had thirty thousand Bei Dong Zhi left...

Heh, people always need dreams.

He remembered last time there was a double yolk. What if this time he got triplets? Then he could use the thirty thousand Bei Dong Zhi to exchange for skill points and directly charge into Xian Tian...

That would be six plus three, nine great Xian Tian Bei Dong skills!

Hey hey, ha ha...

Xu Xiaoshou reveled in his future fantasies, laughing so hard that he punched the low wooden table, nearly smashing it to pieces.

Let's do this!

He composed himself, his mind shifting to the red turntable, and without hesitation, he fed ten keys into it.

Hah!

Ou Huang Fu Ti!

In the cramped guesthouse room, the young man's overly dramatic shout echoed. Xu Xiaoshou clasped his hands together in devout prayer, gazing earnestly at the information panel:

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Zai Lai Yi Chi!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Damn it!

A ten-in-a-row draw and he only got one key? Then nothing?

"I..." Xu Xiaoshou clenched his fists, nearly slamming them down in anger.

"Calm down, calm down!"

"There's still forty draws left!"

Xu Xiaoshou put on an expression as if he'd expected this.

This system was getting more and more unreliable, with the drop rates dropping lower and lower. The worst part was the turntable was covered in gray mist, so no one knew how it really worked.

Xu Xiaoshou settled himself down. He was a man with a strong heart, aiming to be as still as an ancient well.

With a bang, the low wooden table shattered, and Xu Xiaoshou jumped up.

Heya!

Ou Huang Fu Ti!

Out of nowhere, another ten-in-a-row draw—catch it off guard!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Zai Lai Yi Chi!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Zai Lai Yi Chi!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Zai Lai Yi Chi!

Holy crap!

Xu Xiaoshou's face turned green, and he felt a chill run through his body, barely able to stand steady.

Twenty draws in total, and only four keys?

Come on, give me some face!

At least I went through all that pain refining those crappy fire seeds...

"It must be bad feng shui!"

Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath, opened the door and windows, and moved to a new spot. Suddenly, he felt his mind clear and refreshed.

Hmm, good luck should be able to come in now!

On to another ten-in-a-row draw!

Xu Xiaoshou leaned against the window frame, pretending to be casual as he looked at the information panel:

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Obtained basic Bei Dong skill: Yuan Qi Man Man!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Xie Xie Hui Gu!

Click!

Seeing that line of text, Xu Xiaoshou's body jerked, and the window frame came loose, getting stuck between his waist and the wall.

It dropped something?!

He rubbed his eyes fiercely and confirmed he hadn't misread.

Not only did it drop, but it was a basic Bei Dong skill!

This is explosive!

Xu Xiaoshou yanked the window frame from behind him and slapped it in excitement, shattering it into pieces.

Even so, he still couldn't calm his racing heart.

The last basic Bei Dong skill he drew, "Sheng Sheng Bu Xi," was an absolute god-tier skill. It had saved Xu Xiaoshou countless times, and he couldn't even count how many.

Battle endurance, refining fire seeds...

With it, Xu Xiaoshou didn't even need to eat many Chi Jin Dan anymore. And now, another basic Bei Dong skill!

"Yuan Qi Man Man..."

What an interesting name!

Xu Xiaoshou pondered the four characters carefully, as if grasping some insight.

"Yuan Qi?"

He immediately scanned his entire body, focusing on his Qi Hai.

Generally speaking, basic Bei Dong skills showed their effects directly on the body. Judging by the name, this one was likely about restoring Ling Yuan.

Sure enough...

Xu Xiaoshou's smile was about to overflow with joy.

Just as he'd imagined, the recovery speed of Ling Yuan in his Qi Hai had increased significantly!

After cultivating Jin Zhao Ling Yuan, his spiritual power had undergone a qualitative change, and naturally, the recovery speed of his Ling Yuan had slowed down considerably.

Then came that Jin Zhao Tian Fen strike, which not only burned down the house but also depleted a huge amount of Ling Yuan inside him.

Now, this Ling Yuan, which had transformed into a thick, viscous liquid, had its natural recovery speed climb back up, basically matching his previous spiritual power state.

"This is really going to max out my battle endurance!"

Xu Xiaoshou instantly thought back to his fight with Mo Mo.

He remembered that midway through, he was almost about to win, but the third sword draw failed because he ran out of Ling Li inside him.

If he'd had this Bei Dong skill back then, the fight might have ended right there. No need for all the nonsense that followed, or getting scorched by lava until he was half-dead.

"This is definitely another god-tier skill..."

Xu Xiaoshou murmured.

Maybe its recovery speed wasn't that noticeable now, but what about after upgrades?

Xu Xiaoshou fiddled with the pieces of wood, his hee-hee laughter drifting out the window and door, blending into the endless night.

"Breathing method, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi, Yuan Qi Man Man..."

"Self-cultivation, health recovery, mana recovery..."

"I've freaking collected the three major basic god-tier skills! Who can stop me?!"

Xu Xiaoshou's smile was completely unstoppable, making him look like a total fool.

He could almost see it...

Him charging through ten thousand enemy troops, seven in and seven out, the enemies trying to overwhelm him with sheer numbers. But after round after round, they realized he hadn't lost a single drop of health or a bit of mana. Everyone was stunned and had no choice but to surrender, obediently offering up their Bei Dong Zhi...

The scene!

Oh ha...

Oh ha ha...

Oh ha ha ha ha!

Xu Xiaoshou threw his head back in wild laughter, his voice full of arrogance. "Who can block this? I'm basically a heaven-defying existence!"

"Collect!"

He instantly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

With a burst of Ling Yuan, the wood pieces crackled and burned, and he casually tossed them out into the rainy night outside the window.

"Hee hee!"

Xu Xiaoshou smirked mischievously. "There's still a twenty-in-a-row draw left!"
