Chapter 4

In the room of the little fatty.

Han Xiaoshu met the father of the little fatty, a man even fatter than the little fatty.

His eyes were squinted into a line with a smile.

"Uncle Er, hello." Although they didn't interact much, Han Xiaoshu still greeted him politely.

"En, Xiaoshu, don't be so formal. I entered the sect with your parents, and I also feel very sorry about what happened back then.

This time I came back mainly for the spiritual vein test for you and Dahu."

Spiritual vein test? Could Uncle Er help him and the little fatty enter the outer sect?

That shouldn't be the case, Uncle Er is just an outer sect attendant.

Although Han Xiaoshu was very curious, he didn't speak rashly but listened quietly as Uncle Er continued.

"I haven't achieved much in the outer sect these past few years, but I am diligent and have a good relationship with the master of the medicinal garden.

This year, you both have reached the age of tying up your hair, so I thought of preparing something for you two, hoping it would help you pass the selection."

Hearing that his old man had prepared something to help him and Xiaoshu pass the selection, the little fatty's eyes almost sparkled.

"Dear dad, what did you prepare for us? Could it be a pill?"

Xiaohu, looking at his father whom he usually called "old man," was so affectionate that he almost reached into his father's arms.

"Go away, pills, you really dare to think. I haven't seen many pills in all the years I've been there.

This time, I brought you this."

As Uncle Er spoke, he took out two earthenware bottles from his chest.

The bottles were smooth and showed nothing special. He handed one to Han Xiaoshu and the other to the little fatty.

"This is a medicinal powder, a byproduct of failed pill refinement, with only one-tenth the spiritual energy of a normal pill.

Before you practice tonight, take the medicinal powder first, then run the basic cultivation technique.

This medicinal powder should last for about an hour, and whether it can activate your spiritual veins depends on your luck."

Uncle Er explained the use of the medicinal powder to Han Xiaoshu and the little fatty.

Han Xiaoshu looked at the jade bottle in his hand, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then said to Uncle Er, "Uncle Er, this won't work. I can accept this, but give it to Dahu."

Han Xiaoshu knew he had a wood spiritual vein, so he wasn't under much pressure for the spiritual vein test.

Besides, he had the simulator to provide him with spiritual energy.

"Xiaoshu, don't be embarrassed. I owe your parents a favor.

Moreover, this medicinal powder cannot be taken multiple times. According to the people in the outer sect, medicine is three parts toxic, let alone these substandard medicinal powders. Taking too much is not beneficial to the body.

These may look precious, but I know they are only used as nutrients for the cultivation of spiritual herbs."

Uncle Er said, bowing his hands.

"Isn't that just fertilizer for the fields?" the little fatty suddenly said from the side.

"Something like that. You two should practice well tonight. I hope to see you in the outer sect next month."

Uncle Er said, then turned to his son.

"I'm leaving tonight. You, you little rascal, must work hard. Once you enter the outer sect, you'll turn over a new leaf. I can only help you so much."

It seemed Uncle Er had high hopes for the little fatty.

After saying that, Uncle Er left the room.

After chatting with the little fatty for a while, Han Xiaoshu also returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he looked at the earthenware bottle in his hand.

The cultivation technique in the simulator was still running automatically. Han Xiaoshu decided to try the medicinal powder.

He pulled out the stopper from the bottle, and immediately he could feel the increase in spiritual energy with each breath.

Without much hesitation, he poured the medicinal powder into his mouth.

The medicinal powder came to life, jumping around in his mouth.

Han Xiaoshu quickly closed his mouth, and the medicinal powder traveled down his throat and finally dispersed into his blood vessels and meridians.

Then he felt a bit uncomfortable. This medicinal powder was so much like the jumping candy from his previous life.

Except for the lack of taste, everything else was the same. To be honest, the texture was quite good.

Not daring to think too much, Han Xiaoshu prepared to gather the spiritual energy that filled his body.

But just as he was about to start, he felt all the spiritual energy suddenly disappear. Han Xiaoshu was a bit confused.

What's going on? Could it be related to the simulator?

Han Xiaoshu checked the simulator and saw that the spiritual energy bar had increased by 1000 points.

Could it be that the spiritual energy from the pills he took could be directly added to the simulator's spiritual energy?

And it seemed different from what Uncle Er said. He didn't even run the cultivation technique, and it was directly converted into spiritual energy.

Does that mean, in the future, he could reach the peak just by taking pills?

Han Xiaoshu pondered the current situation. Since there was no manual, everything had to be self-studied.

Existence is truth. Well, I'll study it later.

First, he added the 1000 points of spiritual energy to the wood spiritual vein to see what changes would occur.

After adding all 1000 points to the wood spiritual vein, the value (8/100) became (8/200).

The wood spiritual vein, which was originally at the first stage, became the second stage.

It seems it did indeed advance.

This should make it easier to pass the spiritual vein test. I wonder how the little fatty's practice is going.

Not thinking about it, Han Xiaoshu continued to sit cross-legged and practice the basic cultivation technique. Although the simulator could run automatically, he still couldn't skip the daily manual practice.

After an hour of cultivation, Han Xiaoshu looked at the simulator's interface.

Yesterday, he gained 10 points of spiritual energy after an hour of cultivation, but today he gained 15 points, 5 more than yesterday.

It seems that advancing the spiritual vein can speed up the acquisition of spiritual energy.

That's great. The 4 hours of automatic operation should gain 60 points of spiritual energy, 20 more than yesterday.

Although the second advancement of the spiritual vein requires twice the points, his speed of acquiring spiritual energy has increased significantly.

Not thinking about it, he decided to ask the little fatty about his practice tomorrow, hoping he could activate his spiritual vein.

A night passed without a word.

The next morning, Han Xiaoshu got up early and added the 60 points of spiritual energy from the simulator's automatic operation and the 15 points from his manual practice, totaling 75 points, to the wood spiritual vein.

The value became 15.5/200.

What the hell, why is there a decimal point? Shouldn't it be rounded to 16?

Han Xiaoshu looked at the simulator, a bit speechless.

After getting dressed and washing up, Han Xiaoshu went to the little fatty's door and knocked.

The little fatty opened the door, saw Han Xiaoshu, and excitedly hugged him, saying, "Xiaoshu, I felt my spiritual vein. After taking the medicinal powder last night, I felt so hot, like there was a volcano in my body. I didn't sleep all night."

Seeing the excited little fatty, Han Xiaoshu felt relieved.

He really didn't want to be separated from the little fatty, who was his only friend.

After being excited for a while, the little fatty suddenly remembered something and asked Han Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, did you feel anything?"

"I didn't feel much, but I feel more energetic than before. I guess I also awakened.

We'll see when the spiritual vein test comes."

Han Xiaoshu didn't want to say too much to the little fatty, not because he didn't trust him, but because the little fatty probably wouldn't understand.

But since he had the simulator, he did feel more energetic, and he wasn't sure if it was due to the awakening of the wood spiritual vein.
