Chapter 42: Breaking Acupoint Pill

After seeing Xiang Ling’er, Bu Gong also stopped what he was doing; looking at the girl who was running towards him like an elf, Bu Gong’s eyes were filled with vicissitudes and some reminiscence for a moment.
Because the scene in front of him seemed a little familiar to Bu Gong, as if the same picture flashed in his memory; when he thought about it carefully, it turned out that this picture appeared when he was young and was with Yang Ruoming.
Thinking of this, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Bu Gong’s mouth, and then he returned to his calm and composed expression; until Xiang Ling’er stood in front of him, a smile appeared on his slightly dull face, and he looked at the girl in front of him.
“Senior Brother Bu Gong,” a clear girl’s voice like a yellow oriole singing in the valley sounded in Bu Gong’s ears, and at this time Xiang Ling’er was already standing in front of Bu Gong; she looked at the man in front of her who was a little immature but also a little quiet and steady, and a hint of tenderness inadvertently flashed across the depths of her beautiful eyes that were originally cold and icy.
At this time, Xiang Ling’er had a faint blush on her pretty face, and fine beads of sweat oozing out of her white forehead. It was obvious that this girl was running in a hurry.
Bu Gong nodded slightly at this moment, looking at the girl in front of him with some surprise.
He was also shocked by Xiang Linger’s talent, seventh level, which was legendary level; “Are you adapting well in the sect?” Bu Gong pondered for a moment and then asked.
“Well, they are all good.” Xiang Ling’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of smile, and then she muttered a little: “However, I have an old man as my master, but I still don’t know his name.” When Xiang Ling’er said this, her eyebrows were slightly frowned and her nose wrinkled.
Seeing this, Bu Gong was a little speechless: “You can’t even find a teacher to teach you, and you become his disciple and still despise him? Are you taking advantage of him?”
“By the way, I heard that you came to see me yesterday. Is there something wrong?” Bu Gong asked.
When Xiang Ling’er heard Bu Gong ask this, she took a breath and gently lifted her slightly messy hair with her slender white fingers, then said: “Well, it’s nothing, I just want to send you something.” When Xiang Ling’er said this, her watery eyes looked away casually, a little vague.
Upon hearing this, Bu Gong became a little curious about what Xiang Ling’er said. Before Bu Gong could say anything, Xiang Ling’er stretched out her fair white wrist, and then Bu Gong saw an emerald green bracelet on her right wrist.
Seeing this, Bu Gong was a little surprised, “Could it be this bracelet?” Bu Gong thought of this, and then looked at Xiang Ling’er with a strange look.
At this time, Xiang Ling’er also noticed Bu Gong’s slightly strange look at her wrist; then she seemed to have thought of something, and her cold and beautiful eyes actually gave Bu Gong a blank look.
When Bu Gong saw Xiang Ling’er’s expression, he was a little shocked; because the Xiang Ling’er that Bu Gong had seen before always had a cold face and cold eyes, making her look difficult to approach, a pure iceberg beauty.
Girls like this are usually in a good mood, but Bu Gong didn’t expect that Xiang Ling’er, who has always been cold and aloof, actually has such a side to her?
At this moment, Xiang Ling’er seemed to be a little uncomfortable with Bu Gong’s surprised look; then she opened her right hand out of thin air, and an exquisite jade bottle appeared in her white and tender palm.
Bu Gong also noticed this scene at this time, and muttered in his heart: “It seems that this girl is doing quite well among the inner disciples. The jade bottle in her hand should have been taken out from a storage ring or storage device.”
Bu Gong thought this way because he himself had a storage ring. Normally, as an outer disciple of Xianyang Sect, he was not qualified to obtain this kind of storage device, so Xiang Ling’er originally intended to give Bu Gong a little surprise, but what she got in return was Bu Gong’s still calm expression.
Xiang Ling’er felt a little discouraged and a little depressed about this, and couldn’t help wondering in her heart: “Isn’t this person too wooden?”; If Bu Gong knew what Xiang Ling’er was thinking at this time, he would probably be a little depressed.
“Here, Senior Brother Bu Gong, this is for you,” Xiang Ling’er raised the jade bottle in Qi Yu’s hand and said crisply; “Oh?” Bu Gong said softly, then took the exquisite jade bottle in Xiang Ling’er’s hand and played with it: “What’s in it?” Bu Gong asked again.
“Well, Senior Brother Bu Gong, you can take a look at it slowly later. I just sneaked out in a hurry and now I’m going back.” Xiang Ling’er did not answer Bu Gong’s question immediately. Instead, after saying this irrelevant sentence, she ran out of the woods lightly without waiting for Bu Gong to open his mouth.
“This girl, why is she so mysterious today?” Bu Gong looked at the jade bottle in his hand, shook his head slightly, and murmured.
“Forget it, let’s go back to the dormitory first. I won’t go to practice today.” Bu Gong thought to himself and walked towards the dormitory. Just as he arrived at the dormitory door, he heard a “creak” sound and the dormitory door was opened at this time.
Bu Gong looked up and saw that it was Yun Xingjin. At this moment, Bu Gong was a little doubtful, “Doesn’t this guy get up very late every day? Why is he up so early today?”
At this time, Yun Xingjin, who had just opened the door and was still half asleep, also saw Bu Gong. He yawned and said incoherently, “Bu Gong, why are you here today? I thought you were gone again.”
Bu Gong’s eyelids twitched slightly when he heard Yun Xingjin say this, and he continued, “Didn’t you tell me yesterday not to leave today? You said Xiang Ling’er was coming, and didn’t you ask me to wait for her?”
“Uh, oh, I got up so early today just to meet her and talk to her later; but if you don’t leave today, I will have nothing to talk to her about when she comes.” Yun Xingjin looked heartbroken at this time, pointing at Bu Gong hatefully.
It looked as if Bu Gong had done something bad to him behind his back; Bu Gong was stunned at this time, yes, a little dazed.
No matter how smart Bu Gong was, he didn’t expect that Yun Xingjin would get up so early today for such a ridiculous reason. This made Bu Gong feel a little bit amused and helpless for a while.
Bu Gong’s eyes looked a little strange at this time; he casually glanced at his sleeves, and then patted his sleeves slightly, and then said to Yun Xingjin with a slightly innocent look: “Well, I may disappoint you today. She just came, but now she left.”
“Uh, what? He’s gone.” Yun Xingjin’s voice suddenly rose several degrees when he heard Bu Gong say this, and he looked at Bu Gong with wide eyes; then he made a sad face, pointed at Bu Gong and said “you” several times but did not say anything else.
Bu Gong looked at the guy in front of him with a bit of amusement, but he admired him in his heart, “This kid, how come he is still like such a funny guy even though his body is in such a state? Doesn’t he care about his physical condition at all?”
However, although Bu Gong thought so, he moved his lips a few times but still did not ask; because when he first met Yun Xingjin, Bu Gong mentioned the problem about Yun Xingjin’s health.
Although this guy looks careless all day long, Bu Gong, who has always been quite perceptive, could still detect the gloom and helplessness in Yun Xingjin’s eyes when he discussed this topic with Yun Xingjin.
He knew that the guy in front of him didn’t care, but even if he cared, there was nothing he could do; he could only give up and use this face to cover up himself all day long.
Just as Bu Gong was thinking, Yun Xingjin said, “Huh? Bu Gong, what are you holding in your hand? Let me see.” At this time, Yun Xingjin’s eyes were rolling around, staring at the small jade bottle in Bu Gong’s right hand, as if he had seen some rare antique.
Because in the time he had been with Bu Gong, except for eating and sleeping, he had never seen Bu Gong hold anything in his hands. This was the first time. So he, who had always been very curious, caught this point and then asked Bu Gong!
Bu Gong did not hide anything in response to Yun Xingjin’s words. He tossed the exquisite jade bottle in his hand and said, “Go into the dormitory first and see. I don’t know yet.”
But Yun Xingjin’s suspicious look showed that he didn’t fully believe Bu Gong’s words. “You don’t even know what you’re holding? Who would believe that?”
Yun Xingjin followed Bu Gong into the dormitory again, and then came close to Bu Gong. Bu Gong was also a little curious about the things in the small bottle. “I don’t know what that girl is doing, it seems mysterious,” Bu Gong muttered in a low voice, and then opened the jade bottle.
At this moment, a strange and refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out from the mouth of the bottle and instantly filled the entire dormitory. When Bu Gong smelled the medicinal fragrance, a glimmer of light appeared in his dark pupils, and he stared at the jade bottle in his hand.
Because of the fragrance of the medicine in it, the strong acupoint barriers in his body actually caused a slight tremor; so Bu Gong also lost his appetite for the things in the jade bottle in his hand.
As the aroma of medicine spread, some children who were still sleeping in the dormitory were awakened by the smell; at this time, Bu Gong stretched out his left hand and gently poured the contents of the jade bottle into the palm of his hand.
What appeared in Bu Gong’s palm was a brown-black, smooth and round pill the size of a longan; and Bu Gong could clearly feel the fresh medicinal fragrance emanating from this pill.
“Breakthrough Pill? Hey, Bu Gong, have you gone to collect your cultivation pills for this month?” Just as Bu Gong was carefully observing the small pill in his hand, a surprised voice sounded in his ears.
Bu Gong was a little confused when he heard this, and he was secretly wondering in his heart: “‘Breaking Acupoint Pill’? What is that thing?”
Then Bu Gong asked, “Um, what do you call this pill? ‘Breaking Acupoint Pill?'” At this time, he had a confused look on his face, looking at the pill in his hand, and asked in a somewhat strange tone.
At this moment, Yun Xingjin was speechless at Bu Gong’s expression. He then said sarcastically, “Hey…you brought the item back yourself, but you still don’t know what it is? Are you lying? Or are you trying to show off in front of me?”
Bu Gong was a little helpless about this; he just shook the jade bottle in his hand and continued: “I really didn’t go to get it. This was given to me by Xiang Ling’er this morning. She left after giving it to me.”
“Um, what did you say? Is this a gift from Senior Sister Xiang Ling’er?” At this time, a strange cry suddenly sounded from Bu Gong’s ears, making Bu Gong’s ears numb.
“Why are you so surprised? Are you that surprised?” Bu Gong glanced at Yun Xingjin beside him speechlessly and said.
“By the way, what exactly is this Poqiao Pill you just mentioned?”
When Yun Xingjin heard Bu Gong ask this, he slowly explained to him; it turned out that the Breaking Acupoint Pill was the cultivation pill that outer disciples needed to collect in person every month. It was also equivalent to the cultivation resources distributed to you by the sect, but outer disciples could only collect three pills per month.
After listening to Yun Xingjin’s explanation, Bu Gong looked at the jade bottle in his hand again, and there were five of the same pills in the jade bottle.
At this point, Bu Gong also vaguely understood the general ins and outs of the matter; at the same time, the originally solid and cold barrier in his heart also shook slightly, and then he shook his head slightly: “Oh, this girl…”
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, Bu Gong gripped it with a little more force; pursing his lips, he knew that Xiang Ling’er had secretly given it to him because she was afraid that he would practice too slowly in the future, and it was very likely that this girl had deducted it from her own share.
Bu Gong was a little speechless about this.
He was silent for a moment, smiled gently, put the jade bottle into his sleeve, said “I’m going out to practice, and will be back in the evening”, and turned to walk out of the dormitory.
Only a group of children with envious and jealous eyes were left in the dormitory, and of course Yun Xingjin was among them!
