Chapter 136: Spirit Stone Reward
“Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan?”
Bai Chen looked at Liu Jiaoxue with surprise.
What is this about?
Liu Jiaoxue excitedly said to Bai Chen:
“Mr. Bai! You must participate in this Martial Arts Assembly!”
Hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Bai Chen felt even more confused.
Why should he definitely participate in this Martial Arts Assembly?
“First, tell me what’s the use of participating; if there’s no benefit, I won’t go.”
Liu Jiaoxue was taken aback by Bai Chen’s words and then became a little anxious.
“But Mr. Bai, your martial arts skills are so strong! Don’t you want to participate?”
Bai Chen lightly glanced at Liu Jiaoxue.
“Not interested.”
Liu Jiaoxue’s eyes widened in surprise.
“This is a grand event in the martial arts world! With your strength, you will definitely win the championship! Then you’ll be famous in Jiangnan! You’ll be a great grandmaster known throughout the Nine Regions!”
“Not interested.”
Bai Chen’s indifferent attitude left Liu Jiaoxue stunned.
Who among martial artists doesn’t want to be famous?
Once someone claims the title from this Martial Arts Assembly, they will have plenty of money and beauties coming their way.
How could Bai Chen be uninterested?
It’s known that Bai Chen’s strength is comparable to a grandmaster! His medical skills are exceptional!
He is truly a top expert in both medicine and martial arts!
Yet this kind of expert remains unknown in Lintai.
Doesn’t Bai Chen want to be famous?
Seeing the confusion on Liu Jiaoxue’s face, Bai Chen said lightly:
“What do these empty titles have to do with me? For me, it would be better to have some substantial benefits!”
Liu Jiaoxue’s eyes lit up upon hearing Bai Chen’s words.
“That’s right! I heard that the reward for winning the Martial Arts Assembly is very generous!”
“According to little rumors, the champion from ten years ago received the legendary spirit stone!”
“Spirit stone?” Upon hearing this news, Bai Chen raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help but show a bit of interest.
“Tell me more about this Martial Arts Assembly.”
Liu Jiaoxue cleared her throat upon hearing this.
“The Martial Arts Assembly is held every ten years in the Nine Regions! Before the main event, there will be branch competitions in different provinces.”
“After determining the top three in each branch, they will go to the capital for the main event.”
“And the champion of the main event receives the legendary spirit stone as a reward!”
“Moreover, the Martial Arts Assembly has different competitions for various levels, with all sorts of detailed rules.”
“For example, people from different levels participate in different competitions, and the rewards are also different. Besides that, there are rankings like the Talented Hero List and the Dragon Tiger List.”
After hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Bai Chen had a rough impression of this so-called Martial Arts Assembly.
“So which level’s champion gets the spirit stone?”
Liu Jiaoxue rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and said:
“It seems to be for the grandmaster level.”
“And what about the great grandmaster level?”
Hearing this, Liu Jiaoxue shook her head.
“I don’t know about that; there are simply too few great grandmasters. There aren’t many throughout the Nine Regions, and I haven’t heard of any great grandmasters planning to participate in the Martial Arts Assembly.”
“Maybe at their level, they don’t care about these things anymore.”
Bai Chen shook his head and said no more.
Spirit stones are fundamental for practitioners, and even someone at his level cannot do without spirit stones.
Let alone these ordinary martial artists.
“Where did you get this information?”
Bai Chen suddenly became curious about Liu Jiaoxue.
Liu Jiaoxue smiled shyly and replied:
“Actually, our Liu family in Lintai is a branch of the Liu family in the capital. Ten years ago, when the Martial Arts Assembly was held, my grandpa took me to the capital to watch the competition.”
“That’s how I know about the champion’s reward. Since the Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan is about to begin, our Liu family, as a martial arts family, of course got an invitation.”
“Additionally, besides those of us from martial arts families who are invited to participate, wandering martial artists can also sign up online.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Chen nodded.
“This is interesting; I didn’t expect the champion’s reward of the Martial Arts Assembly to be a spirit stone!”
“Last time, I was lucky enough to get a few spirit stones in Yu Chengji’s cave, but I’ve used them all by now.”
“If I want to help Nian Nian and Yue Ran fully master the power of the Ancestor Zombie Bloodline, I must have spirit stones!”
Previously, Bai Chen had been looking for aged medicinal herbs to make herbal soup for Bai Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran because these herbs contained a trace of spiritual energy.
These spiritually infused herbs not only helped strengthen their injuries but also provided a weak assistance in mastering the Ancestor Zombie Bloodline.
Now, with spirit stones, it would significantly help both of them master the Ancestor Zombie Bloodline.
If we were to use a progress bar, Bai Nian Nian had approximately mastered about thirty percent of the bloodline.
Meanwhile, Nan Yue Ran had mastered around twenty percent.
If he could help both of them fully control this bloodline…
That ordinary martial artist could never hurt them again!
“When will the Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan be held?”
Bai Chen asked Liu Jiaoxue.
“One week from now!”
“Also, my grandpa wants to invite you to our Liu family for a visit.”
Bai Chen nodded.
“Let’s wait until tomorrow; Nian Nian will finish school soon, and I need to pick her up.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaoxue’s face lit up. As long as Bai Chen would visit the Liu family, everything would be fine!
Since the last time Bai Chen helped Liu Jiaoxue’s grandpa, Liu Wensong, extend his life by a month, many members of the Liu family had completely changed their views on Bai Chen.
At the same time, they felt a sense of anticipation. After all, who wouldn’t want the skilled physician, Bai Chen, to check on their little ailments?
……
After Bai Chen picked up Bai Nian Nian and returned to the medicinal meal shop, he went to the hospital later that afternoon to visit Su Qing Li.
After all, Su Qing Li had gotten hurt while trying to protect Bai Nian Nian.
“Mr. Bai, you’re here!”
Su Qing Li was sitting quietly on the hospital bed, reading a book. Upon seeing Bai Chen, she hurriedly prepared to get up.
Bai Chen slightly raised his hand, and Su Qing Li felt as if a gentle force was pushing her back down.
“Your body is not yet ready for activity; just take a good rest,” Bai Chen said.
Seeing Bai Chen arrive, Su Zong Sheng stood up to pour a cup of tea for him.
“Mr. Bai, your medical skills are truly exceptional!”
“Qing Li’s leg, which was in such terrible condition, has miraculously healed! Even the doctors are speechless!”
“The so-called reversal of life and rejuvenation is nothing less than this!”
“Mr. Bai, you must be a deity living among us!”
Even Su Zong Sheng, who was not very clever, realized that this was not something an ordinary martial artist could achieve.
Initially, they guessed that Bai Chen was a grandmaster, but that guess now seemed quite conservative!
Beside them, Su Qing Li looked at Bai Chen and said:
“Mr. Bai, ever since you left, I feel like my body has undergone some changes.”
“You know my health has never been great; after eating the herbal soup, my constant coldness has disappeared.”
“However, recently, I feel like my body might be getting too good!”
Ever since Bai Chen helped Su Qing Li awaken her Profound Yin Body, the spiritual energy he left within her has continued to benefit her.
Su Qing Li noticed that not only had she become more beautiful than before, with flawless skin, but all her senses had also been sharpened.
At the same time, her body was expelling impurities from time to time, which made her a bit uneasy.
While Bai Chen was explaining the reasons to Su Qing Li in the hospital, a stunning woman wearing a beige trench coat, sunglasses, and flowing light brown wavy hair entered Bai Chen’s medicinal meal shop.
“Why did grandpa insist that I come to this place? How strange!”
